So after I upgraded to 10.10 some of my compiz plugins stopped working. Atlantis and anaglyph give me an error like this when I enable them in CCSM (I ran compiz from a terminal to see the output):
Code:
compiz (atlantis) - Error: InitObject failed
compiz (core) - Error: Couldn't activate plugin 'atlantis'

I upgrade to 10.10 via online upgrade yesterday morning. All seems to run fine, and before the yesterday afternoon upgrade, compiz appears disabled and each time I try to enable it I get the error message.I checked the direct rendering is working. Google Earth works fine also, so all seems to be OK.
My system: Eee PC 1201n, Nvidia Ion, 4 Gb Ram, 320Gb HD
Ubuntu Maverick updated.

Compiz stopped working entirely recently and I've been trying to reinstall different version, nothing helped. Now when I look at synaptics, the version of the different package (compiz, ccsm, bcop...) are of different version (from 8.2 to 8.6). It tried reinstalling only from synaptics and it didn't change anything. I'm not sure that'll fix my problem, but for sure it doesn't help. Does anybody know what repos i should use to get a clear installation?

I am currently running a small headless home server with ubuntu 8.04. I have had it set up and running for a while, and once or twice a week, I will ssh in and do an apt-get update and upgrade. However, the last time that I tried to do this, I got disconnected from the wireless in the middle, and since then I have not been able to upgrade. code...
I get the same error, regardless of whether or not I try to upgrade, or install a new package. After searching the net, I have tried 'dpkg --configure -a' but get absolutely no output. I have deleted the .deb files and redownloaded them. I have tried to clean, autoremove and many others. I finally decided to connect the monitor to the server, and I found I had errors in my root partition. I booted with an ubuntu rescue disc, and ran fsck on the partition, and it found and corrected many errors. But after I reboot into the normal OS, all the errors come back. I am hoping that I don't have to reinstall the whole server, because I am happy with the set up that I have now. If it comes down to that, I guess I would probably have to put a new hard drive in it. Before I do that, I was hoping that someone on here might know of something I overlooked or didn't try. Maybe it is an easy fix, and I just haven't been able to find it yet.

I upgraded my dual-boot (Vista/Ubuntu) system last night to 10.4. Everything had been working perfectly running karmic.
As I recall, during the upgrade process, something, I assume grub 2, asked for a list of boot devices and defaulted to selecting all devices, one of which was a non-bootable USB stick. I consented.
This returned some sort of error; I made a couple different choices selecting different drives until ultimately it accepted my choice and continued the upgrade process.
Once the upgrade completed, I could no longer boot into Vista. I now assume that one of the choices that I deselected was the dual-boot manager.
From what I can tell, all the Windows files remain intact, I just can't boot into Vista.

10.04 boasts a very quick boot time, but after upgrading, I've been having a much slower boot than in 9.10. It hangs at the screen when it says
Boot from (hd1, 0) ext3
Starting up...
It stays at this screen for a good 15 seconds before showing me the login screen. I've attached the results from a boot info script.

Two weeks ago my computer started freezing on start up when plugged in. It was suggested to upgrade the APM. What is this and is it not updated through the package update? If not how do I upgrade it?

I've looked around Google for a solution to this but I just can't find anything. It's probably a very simple solution that I'm just missing. I'm running Gnome 2 on Ubuntu 11.04 (I removed Unity completely). But when I login to the system it is using the Metacity windows environment. I can get compiz working by running 'compiz --replace'. I just added that command to the 'Startup Applications' but that way seems like a cheesy workaround. Is there a way to make compiz the *ACTUAL* default window manager without using the 'Startup Applications' route?

I try to run sudo apt-get update. It doesn't seem to work. I get a lot of 404 errors, and files that can't be found. This is what came from the terminal:

After apt-get upgrade on Karmic, I'm having trouble with name resolution. Main problem now is that the 'order hosts, bind' directive in /etc/host.conf is not respected. A side symptom is this error code...

I'm not entirely sure this is the proper place for it, but aee doesn't work anymore after upgrading to 10.10. In both gnome terminal & konsole it says "sorry, unable to use this terminal type for screen editing" and exits. It does this remotely even through ssh sessions.
I know aee isn't exactly a new program or anything but what gives? It's a terminal window, how could a console based text editor go wrong.

When I run it in a directory, it shows following message: mudassar@javaDev-1:~/Desktop/gwget-0.99$ make make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

I finally waded through all the graphical issues that have been reported when upgrading 10.10 to 11.04. I've managed to get the nvidia drivers installed and working (even though Jockey still reports that nvidia-current is installed but has not been activated).Whenever I log into an Ubuntu Classic session, GNOME defaults to using metacity as the window manager. In order to get my compiz effects working, I have to open a terminal and do "compiz --replace". After that, everything appears to work normally including on screen notifications, the cube, etc.
I've though of including a "compiz --replace" script in Startup Applications as a possible workaround, but is there a better way to handle not having compiz started by default? Is there something in gconf-editor or similar that I can edit in order to make GNOME default to using compiz?

There is the Compiz feature that allows you to group and tab windows.
That is very nice, but is there a way to remember a window group?
Or maybe a custom terminal command where I can call those windows grouped?

Just trying to analyse why there are so many issues with dual boot after the upgrade.
My story is,
1. I had only Windows xp on my computer
2. I installed Windows 7 RC on a partition
3. I uninstalled Windows 7 RC around april
4. Removed Windows 7 bootloader using [DVD Drive Letter]:ootootsect.exe /nt52
5. Installed ubuntu 9.10 into a new partition with grub as dual-boot
6. Upgraded to 10.04 and XP was not working using dual boot
Want to know how many people used Windows 7 bootsect to clean up the bootloader on their machines, maybe that has something to do with why XP is not clean.

After upgrading to 10.4 from 9.8, my keyboard wouldn't work on the startup menu, I then went to the console and it worked perfectly. I'm new to Linux so don't know a lot about it. I also tried to reinstall it using:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh -a
But it always stops and return "This page is not dpkg-info anymore, but GNU install info
See the main page for ginstall-info for command line arguments:
install-info:No dir file specified; try --help for more information."

I have a LAN with a number of computers including an iMac and a PC dual booting with 10.04.
I recently did an upgrade to 10.04 from 9.10 on both computers.
Under 9.10 I could easily browse either computer using Samba.
Now under 10.04 Samba just does not want to work and won't connect from either computer to the other.

I have a Dell 8100 with an NVIDIA graphics card. I had previously installed Ubuntu Hardy Herron and everything worked fine.
Today I upgrade to LTS. The system rebooted and the Grub boot loader displayed my list of O/S when I selected the LTS, the monitor shutdowns and displays a message about best resolution should be 1280 X 1024.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
