Ubuntu :: Logging Out And Back In Kills Compiz

May 3, 2010

I'm running PC/OS 10.1, which is based on Xubuntu, I've got Compiz and everything installed on here. However, if I've got Compiz activated when I log out, I find myself with no titlebar or frames whenever I log back in. Thankfully, this is easily corrected by opening the Fusion Icon and going back to Xfwm and then going back to Compiz, where I have the titlebar and frames and eye-popping effects and the whole nine yards. But it'd be a lot nicer to not have to deal with having to correct that every time I log in in the first place.

Ubuntu :: System Will Freeze 2 Times After Logging Back In

Nov 9, 2010

I recently installed ubuntu 10.10 and am completely new to linux. Something I recently noticed is that my whole system will freeze 2 times after logging back in, but after that it works fine. I will log in, then it will work fine, but shortly after it will completely freeze. After about a minute, it will unfreeze and everything will work fine. Then after a little longer, the exact same thing will occur. After the second freeze and unfreeze, it never occurs again until I log out and log back in. I do not believe this occurs when first starting the computer.

General :: Logging In Sends Back To Xubuntu Login Screen?

Feb 17, 2010

When I start up my computer Xubuntu is asking me to login (which is strange as I have login disabled). Then, when I do enter my password, it is accepted and after a few screen changes I am returned to the login screen. (I know the password is correct as the login screen informs you immediately if you enter it incorrectly.) Also, I can see that my display settings have been changed--the monitor resolution is wrong--my cursor is way big as are buttons, text etc..

Ubuntu :: Compiz Fusion Icon Won't Come Back

May 11, 2010

I accidentally deleted my compiz fusion Icon from my top panel and now I can't seem to get it back. Before 10.04 I could just run Applications/System tools/ Compiz fusion icon and it would appear in my panel. This doesn't work any more! when I run "fusion-icon --no-start" in terminal I get

* Detected Session: unknown

Ubuntu :: No Compiz When Go Back To Radeon From FGLRX?

Jul 18, 2010

I'm having trouble getting back Desktop effects when I try to go to the radeon drivers from fglrx. It worked when I first installed and it works on a live cd. My main reason for going back is because A. Brightness settings don't work on my laptop with fglrx. and B. Gnome-shell isn't working with fglrx.

I have a radeon 3100 (I think).

Ubuntu :: Back-up And Restore Compiz Settings?

Jul 1, 2011

to back-up and eventually restore compiz settings, is it enough to back-up and restore the .compiz directory in $HOME? Reason is that the setting in my classic gnome set-up are different and partially conflict with the unity settings. Since I want to be able to run both environment (to give Unity a chance) I'd like to be able to switch settings easily.

Ubuntu :: Disable Mutter To Enable Back Compiz Fusion?

Dec 14, 2010

I updated system few days back. and Ka-boom! Suddenly my all desktop effects gone. My theme effects of Mac from the theme Macubuntu 10.10 were gone too. I removed Macubuntu and tried to go into visual effects tab in Appearance Preferences, but it says "Mutter is running, Can't switch to other effects." Now, may this mutter is coming in natty narwhal & new, but seriously it's 2D effects aren't smooth enough.. Also I just can't use Alt+Tab which I'm habitual of.

My question is: How to disable this mutter and re-enable my Compiz-Fusion? I tried to kill mutter process from the daemons and start a compiz.. It didn't work.. Instead, I had to reboot my machine everytime I did that. When I remove mutter from sudo apt-get remove mutter.My desktop stays blank after a reboot and I can't access anything.. Thanks to EasyStroke that I'd given stokes to open a new terminal.

Ubuntu :: Lost Gnome After Activating Open GL In Compiz / Get It Back?

Jun 12, 2011

I ran the compiz --replace command and I was playing about with Compiz. I wanted to active that rotating desktop cube. The screen froze when I activated it and I ended up doing a hard reboot by pressing and holding the power button.

Now, when I log in, the gnome bar at the top has gone, the window 'decorations' have gone (no minimize, etc) and the new gnome launcher on the left of the screen has gone

Any advice on how to get thing back to the way they were?

Ubuntu :: Installing Nvidia Drivers Kills?

Jun 19, 2011

Three times so far I have had to re-install ubuntu because I installed an updated or new Nvidia graphics driver for my GeForce FX 5200 The first time, using Natty Narwhal, I installed an updated graphics driver, and upon reboot, I was presented with a blank screen that did nothing. Being a first-time Ubuntu user, I assumed it was me, or a bug in the new release. So I burnt a Lucid Lynx cd on another pc, and installed that instead. Same problem when I installed a new graphics driver, again via Admin>>Hardware Drivers. Reboot yielded a blank screen. Booted from cd again, as I had no files yet to worry about, and everything seemed to be fine, providing I stayed away from that tempting hardware drivers button.

I then accidentally installed a new driver when installing the dependencies(via terminal) for OGRE (Object-Oriented Graphics Rendering Engine) This time, my terminal froze, Firefox wouldn't boot, and a reboot yielded a blinking, blank login screen that did not do anything. Obviously, I'd like to have a graphics driver, as currently I can't run anything that needs 3d acceleration (Games, 3d simulations, even Desktop effects), but it's not absolutely necessary. So if nobody can suggest a fix, short of a new computer, new graphics card etc, can anybody suggest a way that I can stop myself accidentally installing anything driver-ish? The driver worked fine on windowsXP, but there's two reasons I'm not going back to that: a) I hate it. Hate, hate, hate.b) I've lost the activation key that came with computer, so I can't reinstall.

Further detail can be provided on request. Computer is Dell Dimension 2400, 256Mb RAM, Hard drive is almost empty. Old and slow, but I like it.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Update Kills ATi Drivers

Aug 2, 2011

I recently installed 10.04 on my Dell Inspiron 9300. After a clean install, the ATi drivers (for a Radeon x300) were automatically installed, and worked fine out of the box. Soon after all of this, I decided to run an update. Now, while my drivers are listed as installed in synaptic, nothing is recognized, not even the command "aticonfig" when typed in the terminal. When I try to access the Catalyst Control Center, it tells me that either I have no video drivers, or there's a problem with my card.Is there anything I can do about this? I've already tried reinstalling the drivers from synaptic.

Ubuntu :: Update Kills Keyboard And Mouse

Dec 28, 2010

I had applied all the updates available on 23rd Morning and Keyboard and mouse stopped working thereafter. The updates amounted to around 130 MBs in size. I can use the keyboard to select other items in Grub menu and it works upto the login prompt. I can change the console to Ctrl+Alt+F1 to F6 before the login screen. No response thereafter. I have set the autoloin after 10 Seconds and the notification asks me for enabling compositing.

When booted in recovery mode, the screen remains blank without the options like Repair Packages, Root shell, Resume etc.BTW, Ctrl+Alt+Del reboots the blank screen.What to do now? I thought that Reovery mode boot will give me the menu of these above items.The keyboard and mouse freeze just at login screen. So is it related to .gconfd or Gnome? Or can I unistall all the updates I had installed on 23rd December?At least how can I have the list of installed applications and my customisations in case of a reinstallation?Should I renstall and start all over again without any clue what I had done earlier?

Ubuntu :: Broken Prtscn Button Kills?

Jun 22, 2010

I'm keen to install Ubuntu on my old laptop (HP ze4500 2.4GHz 1Gb Ram 120GbHDD) But during installation (I presume as soon as the screen capture function becomes available) A zillion screen capture screens appear and lock up the system. It may be due to my prtscn button being missing. Actually its just the plastic part and the rubber button mechanism is still present. The button works without the plastic part completely fine in windows. That is to say I can press it when I want to use it and it works and it does nothing noticable otherwise.

Seems like a pretty trivial way to kill ubuntu, perhaps there's a trivial way to solve this problem on my laptop without replacing it? I do get through to the desktop sometimes if i carefully dont touch the keyboard and shutdown the screencapture panels as they appear. It doesnt seem to matter which method i use to get into the desktop though livecd/install alongside windows/fresh install.

Ubuntu :: Accessing Local Filesystem Kills Program

Sep 16, 2010

I searched online, but I was unable to find anything on this. I recently tried to install a program, but it did not work. After that, anytime I would open a folder that is located on the local computer, it would close out of Nautilus. I thought that was the extent of the problem, but I just discovered that if I click "Open" on any program, it closes that program out. I was able to plug in a jumpdrive and browse the files on it, but as soon as I clicked on a folder that was local, it would kill the program. I am using 8.10, by the way.

Ubuntu Networking :: Upgrade 8.04 - 10.04 Kills Wirelss - Compaq 610

Dec 8, 2010

I upgraded today from 8.04 to 10.04 using the update manager. I'd never done it this way before, always just reinstalled, but everything worked fantastically, except for this anomoly.

Wireless was working faultlessly in 8.04. After the upgrade, cable works fine and lspci gives me this:

Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02)

So the system can still see the card. But have a look at this:

Code:

... and this:

Code:

So, using Network Manager (wicd no diff), running exactly the static IPs I had before but nothing. Doesn't see any access points, not just mine.

OpenSUSE :: Last KDE 4.6.5 Update Kills Desktop

Sep 11, 2011

I installed the new suggested OpenSuse 11.4 updates and also the last KDE 4.6.5 updates from the Index of /repositories/KDE:/Release:/46/openSUSE_11.4 repository.The result: after restart and KDE relogin I ended up with a black screen. Only two windows (firefox and dolphin) were remaining on the black desktop. I was able to switch betwen these both windows but not able to open new ones (e.g. with Alt-F2).After login with IceWM, I switched off the composite manager and made a relogin to KDE. Now KDE runs, but of course without any desktop effects. When I switch on the desktop effect I can directly have a look on a black desktop.

My webcam is a Logitech C250. 1.5 volt USB webcam. My problem is this, every time I plug the webcam in, my wifi (internal USB) quits. Wifi Manager and WICD both say "wireless network disabled" I suspect that the USB camera is using more power than the kernel will allow. Does anyone know how to turn the power up on the USB hub without damaging anything?

Ubuntu :: S3 Resume Kills Video / Turns Xorg Zombie

Mar 6, 2010

I'm running 9.10 on an HP d530 SFF, Pentium 4 2.8GHz HT w/800MHz FSB and 512KB L2, 1.25GB DDR333 RAM, GeForce 440MX. In the BIOS I have ACPI S3 Video REPOST enabled, as well as ACPI S3 Hard Disk Reset enabled. Resuming had the same problem with either of these settings disabled as well. Install graphics driver is nvidia-glx-96, version 96.43.13-0. To my knowledge, this is the newest driver that supports the GeForce 440MX -- I attempted to upgrade to newer drivers for XBMC before but they do not support the card.

uname -a output:
Linux fahrenheit 2.6.31-20-generic #57-Ubuntu SMP Mon Feb 8 09:05:19 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

When I attempt to suspend this machine it suspends fine, and will come back to life when I press the power button. I then get a hardware (text mode) cursor for a few seconds, then the screen blanks and goes black. At this point I can ssh into the machine and it is responsive, mostly, but Xorg is taking up 100% CPU and the fan spools up to maximum. The Xorg process is unkillable -- kill -9 won't do it. Load avg on the machine is high and it gets freeze-y for a few seconds at a time. How to get either suspend or hibernate working. This is a media box and we'd like the convenience of a quick resume time, but the ability to save electricity when it is not in use.
