unfortunately it looks like UNR 9.10 is as unusable as desktop 9.10 was (constant freeze crashing). Is there anywhere I can download 9.04 UNR? Ubuntu.com only seems to let you download the latest version.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to solve, on my EEEPC 1001p running 10.10, the following problems:
(1)Sound is dead.It was working fine; but after a OS crash (see 3) it did not start to work once the reboot occurred;
(2)Mouse Touch Pad is dead.It was not working after the initial install.I read some threads about this and updated the BIOS on the EEEPC - then the mouse pad worked until a system crash (see 3) after which the mouse pad would not work any more.(The BIOS update corrected the screen brightness control).
(3)Fatal Crashes: the monitor screen goes black save for the mouse indicator.Nothing will take the system out of this state save for turning the power off and rebooting.
Error 3 will occur if I run compiz or not; if I keep my wireless mouse connected or not.
Error 3 did not occur when I told ubuntu to start a 'save-desktop' session.
I looked at the error logs but I am far from sufficiently knowledgeable to know exactly what I should be looking for; nonetheless I did not see anything in the error logs that had 'E' for error.Somewhere on some thread I read someone suggested that re-writing the XORG.conf file would be a prudent thing to do. I thought I would just now look at that file; so I terminaled: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.When the file opened all that was contained in the file was the number 1.That makes me suspect there is something wrong here for I remember looking at that file a long time ago when I had a problem with 8.04 and I believe it had a lot of information it it.
My computer keeps having some kind of meltdown. i really cant explain it other than the screen will go black, and then it will start flashing like white bars, or different colored bars. this happens at such random times i cant exactly pinpoint what sets it off.
the only thing i may have a clue to is that in my update manager, there is one thing that is a distribution update that i cant check to have it installed or anything like that. its then "Gij" and its description is it is "the gnu java bytecode interpreter" i just dont know if i should just go back to an earlier form of ubuntu because these problems didnt start happening until i upgraded to the new ubuntu
I have a Ubuntu 10.04 fresh installation on my HP laptop. Installation successful and boot OK. But the desktop randomly freeze. During freeze(about 15s each time), all programs are not responsive. Sometimes I can switch program by click, but program seems locked. How can I know which module cause the freeze?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI read somewhere that ISPs can cache files and that this will cause a hash sum mismatch when you try to open the file.
I have been trying to install scourge, and whether I go through the playdeb route, or compile by source route, in both cases the file is corrupt. With playdeb, the data folder has a hash sum mismatch. When I try and compile by source, the tarball can't extract (I'm thinking for the same reason).
If my ISP is causing this, how would I stop it, short of connecting to another network?

View 2 Replies View Related1) Any process (including boot, shutdown, download, open programs, etc) is freeze (don't have any progress) until I move the mouse or hit any button, so for install and use my ubuntu I have to keep moving my mouse and as you imagine is VERY TIRED.2) I get some general freeze on random times, neither the mouse, keyboard or process move, I notice that if I unplug power it unfreze, and I can work for some time.This 2 problems annoy me a lot, and I suspect is a problem related to my Netbook Model, I read about someone that has the same problem but no solution there.
This is what I did:I Try Ubuntu loading from my USB memory (1GB), run very good but with the 2 problems, but I thought it can be resolved installing.I installed along side with W7, couldn't boot Ubuntu, so I configured GRUB2 and it could enter now, but if I don't press **** after selecting Ubuntu it give me the BusyBox, and then the same 2 problems.I get rid of my W7 and did a Full Install on my 160GB HDD, hoping it can work fine, but no.I install all updates and no effect on that.
My ubuntu 10.10 desktop environment freezes at right after login, with the window prompt to "unlock keyring" in the foreground. The cursor still can be moved around the screen with the touchpad or mouse. Mouseover of Docky elicits the usual animation but there is no response to clicking it. There is no other response elicited from moving the mouse over or clicking anything else on the screen, including the taskbar and the hot corners i have set up. However the screen still goes dim and to sleep when left unattended and can be reawoken. The netbook also still recognises when it is plugged into a power source.
Background info: I have been dual booting windows 7 starter and ubuntu 10.10 desktop edition for about 2 months now on my ASUS eeepc1005pe netbook with no issues till now. The problem only started when i booted up into windows 7 starter without having shut down ubuntu completely. My netbook was hibernating when i mistakenly chose to boot into win 7 starter at the bootloader. Now this freeze happens every single time i try to boot into ubuntu. But i am still able to boot into win 7 starter without any problems.
The same sequence of events occurs each time i try to start ubuntu. The boot goes fine, then the automatic login occurs, then compiz loads fine then my desktop environment appears with all the same windows and programs open on the desktop as the last time i had managed to use ubuntu except that the keyring login prompt appears in the foreground and then everything freezes as i have described.
I'm having trouble with Firefox hanging. It takes at least two attempts to launch, having to force the initial blank page to quit. Often it will freeze my desktop when loading new pages, and I have to force quit. I've upgraded to 3.6.17 but no difference. The Mozilla help page suggests disabling add-ons to find the problem, but to no avail. Chrome works OK but I'd rather use Firefox.
View 6 Replies View RelatedDuring a software update the machine froze for a long time, I had no choice but to hard-crash (hold the power button to shutdown) starting up again I can get to the login screen and log in but there is no desktop environment visible, just a mouse pointer (which can be moved about) on a blank screen.

View 9 Replies View RelatedDell Optiplex GX260 (w/onboard Intel graphics) Original install was Ubuntu 9.04. Upgraded twice, first to 9.10, and 2 months or so ago to 10.04. Problem never occurred before version 10.04.
BUG HISTORY: Googling on this problem reveals that it has been around since at least Ubuntu 8.10.
I'll be working away and all of a sudden the entire desktop blows off the screen and is replaced with a console stuck in a loop. The last message I always see in the console is "Checking battery state", then the endless looping begins.
The only way out is CTRL+ALT+SYSRQ+K (kills Xserver, I think) followed by CTRL+ALT+SYSRQ+B (reboots system).
NOTE: If I attempt to restart Xserver, Ubuntu goes into an endless console loop with the same "Checking battery state" message. Does that help anyone figure out what's going on?
I have tried to remove any laptop program that manages power and they uninstall ubuntu-desktop. What gives with Ubuntu's GNOME being dependent on laptop utilities? I'm running a desktop and have no need of laptop utilities.
I have gone to the extreme of starting Ubuntu in Recovery Mode, dropping to a root shell with networking, then removing GNOME and Xserver completely and re-installing them both. The problem STILL occurs.
I have used the following commands to accomplish this:
This problem has made Ubuntu extremely unreliable, as it can crash at any time and DOES... MANY TIMES in a day!
I am finding that plasma-desktop crashes on a freshly installed 11.3 64-bit VM in VirtualBox whenever memory is set to 512MB. I created the VM with 1GB, which is overkill for what I am using it for. At that point all was well. After lowing memory to 512MB, it boots and starts to load the desktop, which fails - error log below. Increasing memory to 756MB allows it to load fine again.
I don't really need a desktop environment on this VM, but it seems odd this is happening at all. 512MB should be fine to run a basic VM with KDE and per Hardware requirements - openSUSE 256MB is the minimum, and 512MB is recommended.
While it's not a big deal, I am a bit curious why this really needs 756MB to run a bare bones system and just launch KDE. Really? We've come to that?
Perhaps I just long for the halcyon days when Linux would run, including a desktop environment, on a 486 with 256MB . . .

Running kubuntu 11.04x64 w/ xrender and folder-view plasmoid:
I cannot view "open with" for directories on the desktop (but it is visible w/in dolphin file structure) and whenever I try to rename folders on the desktop it crashes and restarts (but the rename is successful and no open windows crash).
This glitch is reproducible under OpenGL and Xrender; had to switch over to xrender after a recent system update that seems to slow my computer to a crawl after a little time and kept it cause it seems much smoother and crisper.
Is there any way to fix these issues or is there an alternative to the folder-view plasmoid to view a folder content on the desktop that is more stable?
