Ubuntu :: Is X11 Or GDM/KDM/XDM Handling The Login Screen In K/X - What About GDM2
Jun 7, 2010I really have tried Googling this over many, many hours, and I still can't make sense of it all, especially since I keep reading conflicting info.
In 9.10, the Usplash boot splash was replaced by XSplash, which is based on X11, and when we all realised something was up with GDM (when we couldn't find a way to customise the login anymore), I read it was not GDM controlling that anymore, but X11. So, the way I read it (on many different sites), XSplash in 9.10 controlled both the boot splash and the login, even though the hacks for customising the login involve commands with "gdm" in them.
Now, in 10.04, the short-lived XSplash has been replaced by "Plymouth", and I get all that... as far as the boot splash goes. What I don't understand is the login process.
There is talk of GDM2 coming out, and I've seen people asking when this will be implemented in Ubuntu, but if the move is away from GDM altogether towards a boot/login process totally based on X11, will this happen?
More importantly, what is controlling the login now? Is it still GDM, or is it X11 that gdm commands work on or something? (The hacks people used in 9.10 still work in 10.04)
Also, because I have Xubuntu and Kubuntu in the same system, and have had things like KDM taking over login happen after upgrades, I have to ask what is controlling the boot process and login for Ubuntu's siblings? (To me they now look almost identical, so wonder if they're all X11 based)
Ubuntu :: GDM2 Toolbar Randomly Chooses Top Or Bottom Of Screen?
Jul 10, 2010GDM2 is doing something very weird on my Ubuntu Lucid install. It occasionally decides randomly to put the toolbar (with keyboard layouts, the time and date, shutdown options, and so forth) at the top of the screen when it appears. I think it's always supposed to be at the bottom of the screen. Why is this happening?

Apr 28, 2011I've installed 11.04 64bit several times, and here's what happens. On install and reboot,seems to work fine. Then on 2nd boot, 2 things:1) grub has changed, the count-down counter is gone.2) will not boot in normal mode, I have to boot in reduced graphics mode, and even then only boots about 50% of the time, and then hangs on shut down.Help! I'm running 10.10, and it's got problems on my new laptop too, and was hoping 11.04 would get me where I need to be. I do NOT want to go back to windows.Some more info:Dell Vostro 3550, with Intel i3, and Radeon discrete graphics.3GB DRAM

Ubuntu :: Warning - Do Not Install 11.04 Natty
Jun 2, 2011This may be too late, but, Do not under any circumstances install or Upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04 Natty, it is the buggiest distro they have ever produced, it is better to stick to 10.04, it's far more stable and stuff just works. Natty use a new desktop called Unity, that is totally useless, there are ssh issues that prevent logging to a remote terminal using a public key, Natty is just useless. I'm going to have to backup my ~ directory and reformat then re-install 10.4, until such times as Natty is fixed!. Check the launchpad bugs section and you'll see there are more complaints about Natty then any other Ubuntu version.

Apr 30, 2011I've tried both the DVD and CD, the CD with both usb-creator-kde and unetbootin. The results are the same always, the USB boots, into the splash screen, I select Start Kubuntu, it goes to the loading screen. After some seconds it starts scrolling a wall of text, gives some error about not being able to write or read /root/var/* because they don't exists and end up on a BusyBox with (initramfs) prompt.
I need to install the system on a new disk (2tb) instead of upgrading because I have to send the current one (1tb) to replacement. Could the large 2tb disk be a problem? I tried unplugging all disks and leaving just the disk I want to install to, but no deal... (both are SATA).(Checked the md5sum and they both match for DVD and CD...)

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: No Bootable Device After Natty Install
Apr 29, 2011I tried upgrading to Natty last night through the update wizard and the install went perfectly... until I rebooted and it got stuck at a screen with an "_" in the top left corner of the screen and nothing else. I guessed that this was a grub problem, so I tried reinstalling grub2, but to no avail. So, I burned a Natty install CD and proceeded to reinstall, formatting the partition (/home was on another partition and did not get formatted). Again, the install went great, rebooted and this time I get "No Bootable Device - Please insert a bootable device and hit enter". So, again, I try re-installing grub2 from the live CD. I purge, uninstall, and reinstall grub2... nothing works! What the hell?
View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: ATI Driver Unable To Install Properly On Natty
Apr 30, 2011I've recently switched over to Ubuntu 11.04. I installed Natty by wiping out Maverick entirely. Everything worked well, until I tried to install ATI graphics drivers through the instructions found here: [URL] The installation goes fine without any errors; however, when I reboot, nothing shows up on the screen. I can hear Ubuntu's startup sounds, but there are no visuals. When I attempt to go to the ATI Catalyst Control Center in Recovery Mode, I get this error:
Quote: There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control Center Linux edition. It could be caused by the following. No ATI graphics driver is installed, or the ATI driver is not functioning properly. Please install the ATI driver appropriate for you ATI hardware, or configure using aticonfig.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling these drivers multiple times, and I've also tried using the generic driver detected by "Additional Drivers". None of these work at all, I cannot see anything on the screen when any ATI drivers are enabled. I've even tried re-updating Natty via CD, but none of this works. I have a Radeon HD 3450 graphics card, and my CPU is an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5400+. I'm on 64 bit Ubuntu. I had no problems with my drivers on Maverick.

Jun 20, 2011I am able to install 11.04 (64bit) on my MBP, but after installation I cannot boot into it.[URL]...
Quote:
This information will not work for iMac (11,1) users installing recent versions of Ubuntu (e.g., Maverick). The presence of the bios-grub partition that the Ubuntu installer creates by default (e.g., sda3) causes a conflict that prevents syncing the GPT and MBR partition tables. Deleting sda3 does not help since grub2 requires that bios-grub partition, nor will it use either sda or sda4 aborting with the error: "This GPT partition table has no BIOS boot partition; embedding won't be possible!". So installing Ubuntu with the bios-grub partition fails and installing without it fails. See "Single-Boot". And this seems to be the problem, as trying to re-install grub from the live-cd results in that error message. Looking at this forum there are a lot of people running ubuntu on the same laptop, so my question is: How??
Ubuntu Servers :: Cannot Install (Natty) In KVM Virtual Machine?
Jul 27, 2011I've tried several times to create a Virtual Machine using KVM and installing Ubuntu Natty (using virt-manager).The problem is that each CD Install ISO I've downoaded appears to be corrupt... but it only appears to be! When I choose 'check cd for defects' before I am trying to install, every time a different error is reported... so I fear that the virtual CD drive does not work properly. (I am using IDE with the default settings...)Has anybody experienced similar problems? Can anyone point me to a hint or solution?btw... I've installed Windows 7 as a VM the same way. I did not experience any problems so far

Aug 17, 2011So I've been looking to try out Airpwn, but it seems to only run with Python2.4. Natty, buy default uses Python2.7, and Airpwn will not compile with it. Python2.5 is the lowest in the repos. I tried just downloading Python2.4, and doing the "./configure, make, make install" dance, but I end up with
Code:
root@L1NUX:~/Python-2.4# make
[...code snipped to save space...]
Aborted
make: *** [sharedmods] Error 134
install Python2.4 on Natty? Any method will do fine. If you have a .deb that would be even greater. Anyone who's been able to run Airpwn on something other than Python2.4 is also welcome to tell me their solution. (There used to be a .deb for Airpwn itself, but it seems one was never made for Natty.)

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Why Is Natty Minimal Install So Much Bigger Than On Maverick?
May 25, 2011I have a couple of 64bit Maverick installs from the minimal CD.They each have about 1100 packages installed. When I started to upgrade one to Natty with the Upgrade Manager, it told me it wanted to install 205 new packages (along with upgrading 877).205 new packages seems like a lot of growth in the minimal install.Why do I need those 205 packages?Then I looked at the minimal CD page where I saw that the minimal CD itself (which has lists of packages not the packages) grew from 15.6 to 22MB.So, did the minimal install just bloat up with Natty or what? Is there an even-more-minimal install?
