Ubuntu Installation :: Major UI Bugs With 11.04 Upgrade
May 2, 2011
I had 10.10 set up with very flashy compiz settings and a custom theme. When I upgraded and first opened 11.04 I tried to set up my compiz how it had been before starting with a desktop cube. As I was doing this, everything gradually just fell to pieces and now I have no left side bar, no top bar, and none of my windows have toolbars or window borders. I tried restarting and it didn't change. I don't even have any way to bring up the system settings window, or to bring up terminal without restarting to command line mode.

Just tried to upgrade my mythbuntu box from lucid to maverick.
It crashed during the upgrade. On re-boot it now stops at a dialog telling me its running in low graphics mode because it cannot load/find the nvidia drivers. I am unable to close the dialog. No mouse, no keyboard.
ESC will not let me interrupt the boot to get to a recovery console.

I am running Ubuntu 10.10. After the most recent major upgrade I started getting the above message when booting with the default kernel, Linux 2.6.35.30 Generic. But if I drop back to Linux 2.6.35.28 Generic then everything works fine. I have plenty of free memory and none of the previous posts seem to apply to this problem. I downloaded and ran the boot info script and here are the results:

I find that the FC 15 Xfce spin will save the user's current session except that it doesn't save what is being done with the Lyx editor. Under FC 15 Gnome 3, I found that after I added the minimize-maximize-close buttons to the top of windows, that some of the windows in Lyx (such as the one that appears for View as DVIPS) didn't respond to those buttons. (I don't remember whether Gnome 3 saved the Lyx session and I've gotten rid of Gnome 3 now.)

UBUNTU 9.10 is great. I am running this on Dell desktop. My experience with 10.4 is not so good. Not able to load and run Postgres ( psql) Gone back to 9.10. Maybe I can get back after the bugs have been removed.

I upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 Beta using
sudo update-manager -d
I used Startup-Manager to change the boot default to the last item on the list. I noticed that it was always booting to the first item on the list. As an experiment, I chose one item before last. Now it boots to the last item on the list.
I noticed that grub boot menu shows latest linux kernel as first followed by the recovery version, then there is a sub-menu for previous versions (there were 2 in my case if I choose the previous versions. After that there is memtest and another memtest (serial) and finally the Win 7. I noticed that the StartUp-Manager does not show the sub-menu. It shows all the 7 menus. I think this is a bug in StartUp-Manager in 11.04. Also, I downloaded dropbox .deb and tried to install with Software Center. It gave me an error.
However,
sudo dpkg -i nautilus-dropbox_0.6.7_i386.deb
did the job.
I had to the same with skype install. Software Center did install what were in its list. I tried vlc and emacs.
T=I checked the file permissions of ~/.cache/software-center

I've always had kind of an issue with tearing in Ubuntu but today I got round to updating to 10.10 64 bit, and decided to try and do something about the tearing. I followed this [URL] to the word except on the line "sudo aticonfig -initial" where I had to use "sudo aticonfig --initial" for the xorg.conf to regenerate. It worked great to start with but after a reboot the tearing got terrible. The tearing I used to experience was multiple tearing lines at random heights that appeared momentarily and could only really be noticed in fast moving scenes of films or games.
Now I get just one tear line which starts at the bottom of my monitor and slowly moves up to the top of the monitor over a period of about 10-15 seconds. Once it gets to the top it re-appears at the bottom and starts again, and the refresh difference on either side of the tear is at about 0.5 seconds it makes videos pretty much unwatchable. My graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD 8500, and the AA on it supports up to x8 sampling where as the tutorial only says to go up to x4 (I am unsure if this is because x4 is the max for most cards or because for some reason mid settings are better) but both seem to get the same result. Also I'm using the proprietary ATI drivers and Catalyst Control.

It takes about 30 seconds for the desktop to 'fully load'. When I login I see my background, but nothing else. Then you wait 30 seconds and you see the panels appear. Is there any way to fix this lag, and make it an instant load? Cause really it should not take that long to load a panel with not really anything on it.

What are the major differences between SuSE linux 10.2 and 11.3? We are using 10.2 in our ASP environment and we want to upgrade and regression test 11.3, I was wondering if any linux experts our there can give me a rundown on the differences between the two versions. I know it is quite a leap but we are behind schedule on this one and need to catch up?

My computer started acting flaky this afternoon and by the end of the day, became completely inoperable. When I reboot and login, I'm given only a Terminal window. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, although the Lynx is not very Lucid at the moment!
1). First sign of trouble was yesterday when I was running Win XP as the guest on Virtualbox. XP became unresponsive - at least the mouse could not push any buttons. I had to do a cold shutdown by right-clicking the "close" button at the tab on the bottom Gnome panel. This problem repeated itself today.
2). I attempted (and I thought, succeeded) in upgrading OpenOffice.org to version 3.3. OO seemed to work fine, but after this install I started seeing problems.
3). I attempted to remove Pulse Audio via Synaptic, but instead of removing only Pulse, pieces of software started flying out of the machine (so to speak) at an alarming rate. It happened too fast to count them all. I think the entire desktop is gone along with many individual programs (such as Kaffeine, being one that I noticed).
Currently, I'm running a backup copy of Ubuntu that I keep on a separate hard drive on the same machine. I can access my files from here, and yes, I've backed up my home folder from the other disk!
When I reboot to the damaged system and I get the terminal window, how should I repair the damage? How do I find out if the damage resulted from broken or missing software, or both? Should I try to load Synaptic from the terminal, and if so, how is that done?

As the topic says, why is GNOME the desktop environment of choice by major Linux vendors and distributions? RedHat, Canonical Ubuntu and Novell SLED all use GNOME as the default DE. Even Sun when they released JDS back in 2004 decided to use GNOME as the default DE despite the fact it is based on SUSE which used KDE as the default DE.

I was looking at the MythTV wiki to look at possible developments related to some troublesome hardware of mine, and I noticed that all the tuner card pages are being removed...
The message reads "clearing out local tuner pages" ...
There are significant pieces of information that are being removed... Some of which are not present on the wikis for related projects (like IVTV).
Does anyone know; Is this an official edit?!
Also the MythTV.org home page is looking pretty.
Is there something going on within the MythTV developer community?

Since upgrading to 10.04 I have had constant CIFS errors in /var/log/syslog
Eg -
May 1 10:33:46 eclair kernel: [ 933.789217] CIFS VFS: No response for cmd 50 mid 32895
May 1 10:33:46 eclair kernel: [ 933.794567] CIFS VFS: No response for cmd 50 mid 32900
May 1 10:33:48 eclair kernel: [ 935.721371] CIFS VFS: No response to cmd 46 mid 37294
[code]....
All shares mount and I can open them etc, but always those errors appear whenever I try and browse to it, read them etc. These shares are mount from a Windows 2003 Server and no other machine has a problem reading or writing to this machine. I have changed the network cable and network cards in both machines, with no success. If I copy a file from a local drive to a CIFS drive, the file on the CIFS drive becomes corrupted.

lxappearance won't let me change themes on Squeeze. It just doesn't do anything, neither preview, nor theme setting. Turns out this is a known bug, and allegedly fixed. Ppl are told to "upgrade" their package. However, in Squeeze it's still the old package, and it doesn't work. So I filed another new bug report, which they closed and told me to upgrade the package.
Upgrade? From Sid? What happened to fixing Testing so it can become the next stable? Not much stable if a major DE can't change themes. Not that it's a real problem, but it's
annoying. I purged lxappearance and manually installed its Sid counterpart, only to find out
the bug is still there.

Is it possible to get a file descriptor from the major and minor number. If so, how can this be done? I am trying to see if a port(eg ttyS2) is opened without using the fdopen or open or fopen functions. is there a way to get the file descriptor of file or port that as already been opened, without using the functions I mentioned above. These functions reopens the port. I am trying to avoid that.

We have 3 RH5u4-64 servers. Server 1 is a standalone server. Servers 2 & 3 are clustered filesystem servers running Veritas CFS 5.0mp3.
Server 1's filesystem is EXT3 and was cloned from a Sun server running Veritas 5.0mp3-VXFS. Filesystem size returned from 'du' 'df' show about 428GB on both the Linux Standalone Server(EXT3) & the Sun Solaris Servers (vxfs).
We then cloned Server 1's filesystem (EXT3) to the 2-node CFS servers. Cloning was successful, but the filesystem sizes returned by 'du' 'df' show 128GB. Block Size for the EXT3 filesystem is 4k while blocksize for the VXFS filesystem is 1k.
Where did that other 300GB go?
I can see VXFS/CFS being slightly more efficient than EXT3 because it's been around much longer, but that can't possibly account for the vast difference.

I am running the x64 version of Ubuntu 9.10. For the past 2 days(haven't installed any new programs within the same time frame). I've started to encounter problems after I lock my computer, (ctrl+alt+l), then come back and unlock it. After unlocking, I am unable to open any programs.
Attempts to open programs include: panel icon buttons, application menu buttons(including opening nautilus through the places menu), alt+F2, and using gnome-do. I also can't use any of the buttons in the user menu to the far right to log off or shut down the computer and am forced to hold the power button to restart my laptop. I am able to use programs that are already open with no problems.
Also, If i lock the laptop again, the screen darkens as expected, except, when i move the mouse to bring up the login dialog all i see is short flickers of my mouse as it moves around a black screen.
My most recent synaptic log includes:

Recently while at school, my trackpad stopped working completely. When I log out to my login screen it works, and as well as kde. I use compiz btw in gnome.[SOLVED I THINK] --> My boot splash doesn't show up until its fully loaded and won't show in the correct resolution.Every so often, the UI flips out and won't let me click menus or text fields or use my keyboard at all.
The trackpad is a setting i bet. BUT I looked everywhere for a setting that is making it not work.[SOLVED I THINK] --> The splash is ok, I'm not worried about it, but I wished it looked nicer on my computer D:The UI freak out is annoying and trouble some as it happens randomly in use.
I am on a laptop:
HP Pavilion dv9000
Intel Centrino Core 2 Duo 1.73GHz
NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600
2GB of memory
ps - I am not a fan of HP, Intel, or NVIDIA, this laptop was free so not complaining about not having AMD or ATi or another laptop brand

I've been using ubuntu almost exclusively for more than a year. I am now running 10.04. I was trying via launchpad to post some bugs I've run into in Ubuntu. None of the bugs relate directly to a certain process. And if they do, I have no idea how to find out their PIDs.

1. Bug one. For some strange reason, my mouse is red only when hovering over a firefox window. All the other time, its white. I have tried to use the built in cursor changer thing, and it seems only capable of changing the cursor for the desktop. Not this strange, magical red firefox cursor. It starts to mess with ya.2. Not really a bug I guess, just a mild annoyance. In windows 7, you have a good deal of play when it comes to where you want to position your icons on the desktop. Not so with Ubuntu 10.04. Its more like windows 95 when it comes to that. Is there some way to solve this? You have like an inch between places you can move icons to. Makes the desktop look ugly, and I would just feel more at home if I could position them correctly. The pic is an accurate representation of this. On the far left, that is as far as the icons can go. And if you want them near each other, they have to sit way too close, or way too far apart. (oh and that pic was before I attempted to change the cursor lol. Now its white when not hovering over FF, red when over FF. Now I'm stuck in that configuration lol)

I keep getting the following msg as I try to upgrade from 10.04 -> 10.10 ... "Could not calculate the upgrade An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bug report." I don't think any of the issues above apply - can anyone offer advice on how to get around or "force " the upgrade

I did a clean install of Lucid, and almost everything video related is a little sluggish. First of all, Compiz is really slow compared to how it was in Karmic.
I don't even use window animations, just the Scale and a couple other effects, like desktop cube. Scale is really slow, and sometimes it doesn't work. I have to start compiz again to get it working. Desktop cube actually froze a couple of times half way through a rotation. Rotating the cube is much slower as well.
Also, I've been having a lot of trouble with HD video playback. It's not just the 100% CPU load that's bugging me, but every 3-4 minutes the playback skips frames, and the image becomes all glitchy.
Flash playback also uses a lot of CPU, I can't even watch ..... videos in fullscreen most of the time. And I'm always opting for the lowest quality possible btw.
I have a dual core AMD CPU and 8600GT nvidia graphics card, so it's not a hardware issue.

Currently I am running Ubuntu on my laptop however my desktop is still XP pro. I want to move from XP to a Linux (Ubuntu) or Unix distro (BSD). My desktop is used as my ftp server, music/network storage, and for syncing my iPod with iTunes. The only thing that is keeping me from totally reinstalling the OS on that computer is iTunes. I know there are tons of applications out there that will sync your music to your iPod however I want to still be able to use itunesu and some other features in iTunes. My plan is to run a *nix os but have xp running in virtual box for iTunes. Has anyone else done this and if you have is it a huge pain? Is there a better way to go about what I'm trying to do? I have tried to get the newer iTunes installers to work with wine but I haven't gotten it to work yet. I get errors and the errors are reported bugs on winehq.

How does one report bugs in the Ubuntu Documentation wiki? For instance, this page [URL] say there is a a tree entry /apps/gnome-system-tools/users yet I do not see any gnome-system-tools entry.It would be preferable that any Ubuntu documentation about gui related interface also list a how to do the change via command line, since that is more reliable than the ever changing gui stuff.
