Just upgraded kubuntu to Lucid and found no KDE installed: bad news: if you're on kubuntu KDE should be upgraded automatically. So using kpackagekit in gnome installed the standard metapackage and got the option to log in with KDE (good news) but then KDE failed: segmentation fault in knotify4.it would not report the error: too little information. it dropped me back into an incomplete gnome environment (no top and bottom tool lines).

I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 fresh and was putting my preferences back in for Firefox and MythTV and such when I noticed Evolution wouldn't start. I would click on it and the cursor would change for about 5 seconds and then nothing. I tried uninstalling Evolution (big mistake), but after I got back into the desktop, Evolution still wouldn't start. I can't seem to find anything around here that deals with this. Where should I start to debug this?

Awhile back I was playing around with Plymouth and GDM resolutions. I followed some wrong instructions and screwed up my GDM. I have fixed my GDM, sorta, but at times it will not start or when it does the login screen has strange pixel errors.
Sometimes it starts fine without any problems or pixel errors. Other times I have to boot 2 to 3 times before GDM will start.
If GDM starts with pixel errors, I can still login to Ubuntu and the rest of the OS runs fine. Pixel errors only happen in GDM.
When GDM fails to start I get a blank black screen. Cannot enter command line. OS seems frozen and I have to reboot.
I'm running desktop Ubuntu 9.10 on my Dell laptop. Previously it was Ubuntu 9.04. After some period of time (lets say 3-4 months) my X fails to start automatically after some restart calls. If that takes place my network manager applet doesn't start either (after I do startx).
I get a perfect server boot meaning there's no Xorg started. Command line interface is all I get starting from login and further.
How to resolve this apache2 problem I keep getting, I have installed a debian LAMP server with ispconfig3 and everytime I reboot apache fails to start, I don't know and I have done some research but nothing seems to work, which leads me to reinstall everything from scratch again, I think I have reinstalled at least 10x or more.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got a couple of nagging issues that may or may not be related to each other. First, although I have this machine set to log me on automatically (I'm the only user ever and there's no public access) it doesn't; I get the standard login welcome screen. In the system menu (from Applications) I have two login managers: "Login Screen" and "Login Screen (GDM2)". The first of these shows I'm configured for automatic login, as does the custom.conf file in /etc/gdm. However when I click its "unlock" button, it flashes orange momentarily but nothing else happens. The second manager doesn't seem to have any effect on the problem...
The other issue is that my networking fails to start during boot-up; I'm not using the network manager applet and am not starting it; instead I have the three NICs in the machine (which serves as the router and gateway for my LAN) configured in /etc/network/interfaces. Once I am logged in, I can run "sudo service networking start" from a Terminal window and everything works properly, but adding that same line to /etc/rc.local (minus the "sudo" of course) had no effect on the problem. Both issues happen only at boot time, and since this machine normally runs 24/7 except immediately after certain updates or when troubleshooting they're not show-stoppers, but I greatly prefer to have my systems working the way I've configured them rather than going off in other directions!

When I start up Evolution Mail client by any means (toolbar, applet or command-line) it starts up, but then the window turns grey immediately and freezes. I am forced to close it with the "killall" command.
I love the small mailbox in my toolbar (GNOME) and I don't want to lose it. I am concerned that removing Evolution by the Ubuntu Software Center will eliminate this wonderful tool. Otherwise I would re-install it.
I have made no changes to the mail client in months. My wife who uses Thunderbird on Windows 7 is still operating normally, so I do not believe anything changed on the mail server.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have an intermittent problem with kdesu not starting. I can boot and start kde4 and kdesu will perform properly for the full session. If I reboot, there is a chance kdesu will not work at all that session. Yesterday just restarting KDE4 was sufficient to get it back, but today it took two machine reboots.
When it fails it just hangs with no indication and nothing in /var/log/messages.
