Debian :: After Upgrade To 3.0 Series Of Glitches?
Aug 17, 2011
I am using Debian testing on my ThinkPad T400s laptop for almost two years now. I just have been on short vacation, and when I've got back, I saw pretty comprehensive upgrade of vital parts, like kernel (3.0), gnome (3.0), gdm (3.0). Since I am using true Firefox and Thunderbird, they also went up (6.0).
Anyhow, after aptitude safe-upgrade (with some minor problems), I got everything updated. However, I realize that the whole system is much slower and unstable than before. For example, applications are slower at start, Firefox and Thunderbird crash when you want to save something (like attachment, of pdf-file, or the like). Also, problems with unmounting usb drives [URL]... Does anyone else experience similar problems? What would be the best thing to do, to prevent some serious system failure (I need my system for my work, and I always get nervous when this kind of things happen)?

I have a problem with the latest Fedora. Installed it cleanly on a machine with Gigabyte H55M-S2 with Intel Core i3. There seems to be no sound and I checked to see if anything is muted but is not. The manual says that the sound chip is ALC888B so this could be the first problem. Any ide how I can make it work? Here is a dump of some things on my system.
Code: [weaz ~]$ lspci | grep Audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06)
[weaz ~]$ uname -a
Linux EarthwormJim 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.i686 #1 SMP Fri Oct 22 15:34:36 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I installed today debian wheezy from OpenSUSE system via bootstrap. I have some strange behaviour with kde. At first kde worked fine and the only problem was that if I tried to logout from kde session, instead of kdm shows up, a black screen appear with mouse cursor working. I first ignore this error(because I had some problems with audio) and just reboot from vt console or sometimes restart kdm service. After I solved the audio problem I've searched to find some solution about kdm black screen problem. I found on kde forums a solution about terminate xserver option on kdmrc file, which didn't work in my case, but create another problem.
The problem is that now when I pass the mouse cursor from windows topbars I have glitches on window decorations. So I disable the above option again, reboot but the graphics problems was still there. I tried to uncheck vsync from desktom effects and the resault was all desktop effects to be disabled. Now I cannot re-enable desktop effects any more. But now I can logout and relogin. 3D works fine(glxgears works) but I cannot enable desktop effects. And I think that some effects work, because I see some smooth movements and fade outs when I pass the mouse cursor on kmenu items. My card is ATI radeon HD 4650, and I have the xorg-video-ati driver installed.

My Intel Corporation WiFi Link 1000 Series wireless card stopped working yesterday after I did an update via Update Manager.After the upgrade, wireless is disabled and the option to enable it in Network Manager is grayed out. I thought that it might be the new kernel, but changing back to the old kernel I still have the problem.

I'm very new to Linux and have recently installed Debian Squeeze on my pc. I'm trying to install the Nvidia package as the system has a XFX 9 series card installed. I'm unable to get stop X to complete package installation. I keep getting permission denied when I run the command /etc/init.d/gdm stop. After reviewing a few forums I also log in as root to the console and tried the command there as well. I'm still getting the permission denied response. Can anyone advise on how to get around this?

yesterday I've decided to upgrade my distro from F13 to F14 using preupgrade. There were no errors during installation, but after first boot I've noticed glitches in GTK widgets in GDM and other windows after logon (strange white strips on buttons, progress bars and more). Moreover there were even worse glitches in gnome-do. I've attached two screenshots to show exactly what I [URL] I think this is a problem directly connected with upgrading the distro as there are no mentioned glitches when running standard live version of Fedora 14.

I installed the newest Flash player in an update a few days ago, and now ever since last night, every time I watch a Flash video I get graphics problems. It looks as if the Flash video is stuck in the centre of the screen and if anything black (text, notifications) are in the way, they show the video behind them. Hard to explain what I mean Nothing shows up when I run ps ax.
In addition, all Flash videos are now jumbled up with pixels and weird looking glitches.
- Happens with Firefox, Minefield, and Chromium.
- Using latest proprietary NVIDIA drivers available in Jockey
- NVIDIA Geforce 8400m graphics
- Restarting or using Ctrl-Alt-Backspace always fixes the problem.

I'm using FF 3.6.8 on a stock slackware 13.1 system running KDE on an eee pc 1000H. When scrolling up and down in web pages I'm seeing corrupted graphics. It's as if about 20 or so rows of pixels are missed out in the rendering or sometimes as if 20 or so rows of pixels are repeated.Firefox is still quite usable but it is quite annoying.Also, konqueror and sea monkey are fine - no other applications are affected.

I've just installed 10.04 64bit on my iMac 27" i7 and before fighting with keyboard, mouse, audio. I'd like to share with you a strange behavior of the screen refresh speed, color depth and/or maybe a performance issue with the ATI. It's happening with all the resolutions. The windows borders are "cut" when moving or scaling them, the login screen seems to have a low color depth (as banding issues) and it appears slowly from top to bottom of the screen... for example, when I open the synaptic and the system ask for the password, I can see a very slow fading effect to dark screen.
I've made a full update then install the ATI proprietary drivers (from the ubuntu repositories). Basically I'd love to hear that my problem is a driver issue but it seems that 10.04 comes with the very last drivers from ATI. Does someone experience such a behavior? Does somebody know how to enhance it?

On almost each mp3 file I try to play, VLC will "lag" during the first seconds. There may be some screeching noise. It looks like vlc can't keep up with the bitrate, and it "skips" some bits.
This doesn't happen with totem (the default media player).

I have never had this problem before. But when i run blender3d and alt-tab it glitches out. It happens when I use render(f12), alt-tab and switch desktops. I have also noticed that it does it with Sweethome3d. So it could be a java issue. Not really too sure though. I dont know what I am looking for to search the problem. So I thought I would make a new post and and ..... the issue followed with my Specs.
I reviewed the ..... and it missed alot of the glitches. But you can see some of them they are the pixels all over the screen.

I had to disable "smooth scrolling"
Edit > Preferences > Advanced > General > Smooth Scrolling
I'm using LXDE on a HP510 Laptop, it's onboard graphics chipset is a: Intel Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller. I am not using an xorg.conf file, so the settings are just the default autodetect ones I assume. I've noticed it when scrolling in firefox, and can't seem to get it to do it when scrolling in other applications, but I haven't really used this laptop much since installing the Fedora 12 LXDE spin recently. I'm not sure what information to supply that will help you help me. Here is a screenshot to show what happens.
I dunno what the big black box is, its only visible on the screenshot. I had to bind a script to printscreen to get it to make a screenshot, so its probably something I need to do here to get rid of it?
Code:
#!/bin/bash
DATE=`date +%Y-%m-%d %H-%M`
import -window root "$HOME/Desktop/screenshot $DATE.png"
I also can't get the touchpad scrolling to work. Or my external monitor without some issues. So I think I will be making an xorg.conf file at some point.

My collection contains some MP3s which have some glitches like
displaying the wrong duration on loading
minor jumps
suddenly ending despite the duration claims another minute remaining
noise
I'm looking for a tool that can detect as many of these glitches as possible and fix those that can be fixed (obviously e.g. noise can not simply be eliminated in most cases).

Its a lot easier to just post a screenshot than to describe whats going on. View attached screenshot. Notice how there are random graphical glitches in the title bar and behind some of the icons in the dock.
I am using the free ati drivers and my gpu
lspci|grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M76 [Radeon Mobility HD 2600 Series]
The pc is a gateway laptop.
I have tried fglrx but there are even more problems such as a extreme mouse and keyboard lag...among other issues.
On a related note, I am often logging out then back in because restarting unity seems to fix the glitches although they eventually return. Is there any program that gives the option of reloading unity, like the compiz fuzion icon? Or some commands in terminal that will do the same thing?

For some reason, I seem to be getting audio glitches or hick ups when I play my mp3s on Ubuntu 10.10. Everything else works fine. Would this be a hardware or software issue?

since I've upgraded to 11.04 on my Dell Latitude E6400, every time I close the lid and open it again, Ubuntu fires up but the screen itself is totally messed up, it's just random patterns all over the screen. The laptop is locked, so I can type in my password, hit enter, and once I'm logged in again the screen is perfectly fine, so the system itself works, only the display is the problem

I am experiencing problems with sound in Maverick on my Dell Inspiron i6400. When the video gets busy while playing sound, the sound gets highly degraded (dropouts, glitches, clicks and cracklings). For example, it happens when an advert animation is playing on a webpage, or when scrolling a document/a webpage. It especially happens when scrolling a document in evince. This is a frustrating issue since I basically cannot work while playing music! My sound chipset is a Intel HDA ICH7.
An important point is that it only happens when I use a "large" screen resolution (eg 1920x1080), and not when the resolution equals or is below 1280x800. Therefore I think this is related to the video side. The two CPU's cores (Intel T2050@1.60GHz) never reach 100% load when the problem arises. The memory is not full either. I use Compiz and various desktop effects, but the problem still remains without it. My video card is an ATI Mobility Radeon X1300 with 256 Mb of RAM (using the default free driver shipped with Ubuntu). Also, the video is fluid and flawless so I do not understand where the problem comes from. This might be related to a priority/ordering issue, I do not know.
The most relevant bug report I found is the following one:

I first noticed this problem when trying to play a first person shooter game. If I hold a key down such as "w" the mouse glitches and moves incredibly erratically when I try to look around. This happens outside of the games as well. What is the solution for this?I'd really like to be able to play an fps game.I have tried disabling compiz as well as turning off the "disable trackpad while typing" option as well.

This is not exactly Ubuntu question but i don't know where else to ask. I'm trying to setup a Wireless Linux router. My ISP provides multicast IPTV.

My wireless card is DWA-552 I'm using ath9k driver. More info in my post on LinuxQuestions.org Did anyone tried to setup Wireless Router with IPTV?

I would like to use VIM to add something to the end of a series of lines. Ideally I could do something like add " X" (with a space before the X) to the end of lines 1-40 and 50-60 in a single command, i.e. ideally I could have a break in between where I didn't add something. If that's not possible just adding to 1-40 and 50-60 separately would work too. I would be using bufdo to do this, but my understanding is that anything you can do in vim you can use with the bufdo command.

I have been through a lot of posts and was still unable to connect to the internet using wvdial utility after doing all the changes. I being a newbie to this operating system, didn't know how to get started. After going through a lot of posts, I came across an application that is going to be a part of Fedora 12 called ' blueman '. It is used to connect to the internet using a gprs enabled phone via bluetooth. It integrates itself with Network Manager making it even more easier to use. To install it type the following commands in the terminal:
su
Type in your password and hit enter. Then type
yum install blueman
The application is only 575kb and will install instantly.And after a reboot fedora will show an applet related to that application. Open it and click search to list all available devices and select your phone and then select bond to pair your phone with your computer ( if it isn't already). After bonding right click your phone and select serial ports>dial up service. this will make the gprs/edge/3G connection to appear in network manager and selecting it will connect your computer to the internet.
This was the bluetooth way. If you want to connect through USB, just plug in your phone and select PC Suite mode in your phone. The fedora installation will automatically detect your phone as a modem and the connection will appear in the network manager.
This works on all N series Nokia phones and also most other phones as well.

I see there are lots of messages about fedora 12 freezing.Actually I have such a problem with fedora 11 since I updated to kernel 2.6.30. My laptop, all of a sudden, freezes. Everything is freezed: mouse is not working, keyboard not responding (hitting caps lock produces nothing), can't switch to terminals, ctrl+alt+canc don't work. I can just push the power button to shutdown the system. BUT the hard disk activity is still going on. I can see and hear the sleeping daemons that cause some usual disk activity while the rest of the system is completely freezed.My system is a HP DV5-1025el with an AMD Turion ZM-80, Ati Radeon HD3450, 4Gb of RAM and 250gb HDD.I got fedora 11 regularly updated, now has kernel 2.6.30.10-105.2.23.fc11, but it is used to happen also with older 2.6.30 kernels, NEVER happened with 2.6.29 kernels. Video driver isn't the cause, since it happens with both proprietary fglrx and OSS radeon drivers.

I recently used scalpel to recover .doc files. I only need to find just one file, but scalpel retrieved thousands and thousands of them, all titled after a sequence of numbers. If I could only search within them all for a single word I'd be able to identify the ones to check out vs. the duds immediately.
