CentOS 5 :: Ext4 And Moving Items To The Trashcan In Gnome Results In Nothing Showing In The Desktop Trashcan

May 21, 2010

On my home test 5.5 VM, after converting to ext4, moving items to the trashcan in Gnome results in nothing showing in the desktop Trashcan. Looks like a bug in gnome-vfs' support (or lack of it) for ext4, or have I got some other more subtle corruption going on? It's of little importance to me as I'm rarely in the GUI, but it would be nice to see confirmation or otherwise.

Debian :: Full But Empty Trashcan - Same Message Again

Jun 1, 2011

I'm on Debian 6.0
and 4 TB of HDD
Compaq Presario 9000

My problem is all of a sudden get a message on deleting files that the trashcan has reached its full capacity and needs to be emptied manually. After emptying the trashcan in Dolphin I still can't delete the files I want and get the same message again and again. I have shut down the computer before, but today that didn't seem to help at all. Also it seems a bit drastic to shut down the machine everytime this happens. Is there perhaps another 'manual' way of emptying the trashcan? I have found a post recommending to rm -in my case- the directory in question in the terminal, which worked, but it doesn't solve the trashcan problem.

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrade From 8.10 Desktop To 10.4 Desktop?

Nov 12, 2010

I'm considering upgrading my old fileserver from ubuntu 8.10 to 10.4, but i've got single concern, I have a 5TB sofware raid 5, that i realy don't want to loose in the process. And since it's almost full (below 1TB free), i can't do a full backup.

Is there any problem in with this, if i do the upgrade? i have to upgrade 8.10 to 9.4 to 9.10 to 10.04?

Ubuntu :: No Desktop After Update & Upgrade?

Dec 11, 2010

After my latest maverick apt-get update & upgrade, a new kernel is installed (2.6.35-24-generic). Everything seems to be fine but if I choose it, no desktop is loaded. It ends with a console and a login request. I can't boot-up the gnome desktop unless I choose the former kernel (2.6.35-23-generic).

Ubuntu Installation :: 1.04 Upgrade Can't Get To Desktop?

Apr 21, 2011

I had nothing but Ubuntu 10.10 running for a long time. Just a few hours ago I decided to switch to the beta version of 11.04. The upgrade went fine and I was asked to restart my computer. I did so and was presented with the screen that says "Ubuntu" and 5 red dots. Nothing else will display and around 2 hours has past and Im still stuck on that screen

Ubuntu :: Desktop Broken Since Upgrade?

May 2, 2011

Curious thing happening since upgrade. The desktop toolbar is invisible, although I can get click and access the drop down menus for login, calander, power settings etc. Alt-tab works in 2D. The new desktop icons for natty are also invisible. I have tied to access a terminal using Alt-F2, but terminal window doesnt open. I had compiz running on previous 10.10 installation. I am at a loss as to where to begin fixing this. If I didn't have a windows 7 installation partition that would get screwed up I would flatten the installation and download and install a fresh install, but I do and I don't want to go through that pain if I don't have to.

Running Lenovo 3000 C200 with intel gm1345 gfx.

Ubuntu :: Invisible Desktop After Upgrade From 10.10 To 11.04?

May 25, 2011

I tried to upgrade to 11.04 from 10.10 but my system got hanged in the middle of installation and then i couldn't reboot into it. So I tried upgrading using bootable ubuntu 11.04 pendrive.After the upgrade when i tried to boot into 11.04, the display went very dim (almost invisible). It happens just after I select ubuntu from grub menu. I tried booting into recovery mode, tty mode but nothing was visible.Although everything works. I was able to open terminal using Ctrl+Alt+T which was slighly visible and shut down using halt command though I couldn't see it.

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrade To 10.04 Wants To Remove Desktop?

May 5, 2010

When I try to upgrade to 10.04 (from 9.10) I receive the following message:
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: The package 'ubuntu-desktop' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist.

I could not bear once again going through the months of torment, searching forums and tearing of hair involved in getting 9.10 to install and get everything working the way I wanted if I had to do a clean install again. Mostly because I can't remember how I got round most of the issues... code...

Ubuntu :: 10.04 Upgrade - Desktop Locks After 10 Minutes Or So

Jun 8, 2010

I've upgraded to 10.04 I have had a few small problems, for one, when the desktop locks after the predetermined 10 minutes or so, upon reconnection my mouse no longer works. This is a laptop and I use a usb mouse now, which occasionally will not work unless a unplug and replug. Secondly, when the desktop locks it disconnects the network, never used to do that.

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrade From Desktop To Server?

Sep 7, 2010

I can install 6.06 desktop, but would like to move to a 8.04 server. I know I can do an upgrade from 6.06 desktop to 8.04 desktop, but how about to server? cdrom issues and heartache associated with other means of alternate iso installs are beating me up.

Ubuntu Installation :: No Status Bar On Desktop After 10.04 Upgrade

Sep 14, 2010

On another machine, I upgraded a 8.04 desktop to 10.04 using the update manager. The update went well, but after the reboot and login, the default desktop background is loaded, but there is no status bar to select programs, access system settings, etc. How can I fix the desktop to include the status bar so that I can use the system? I can right click on the desktop and it gives me options to create launchers, etc.

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrade 10.04 To 10.10 - No Desktop Session

Oct 1, 2010

I cannot start the desktop session: After upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 (dual-boot system) via Alt+F2 as suggested on [URL]. Grub loads fine after reboot (booting Windows works, Upgrade without errors). If I boot Ubuntu (no matter which Kernel, etc.), I end up in shell (black screen + prompt, stating the new Ubuntu version) and being asked to log in. Entering my name and pw results in the shell prompt changing to my name, but nothing else. So how do I start the desktop session? Repairing packages had no effect...

Ubuntu :: Desktop Icons Not Visible On 10.10 After Upgrade

Oct 12, 2010

When I log into the standard netbook environment (not the one called 2D) I get a blank desktop with blank (yet active) bars across the top and on the left of the screen. Mousing over the invisible icons on the left opens empty text boxes of varying sizes showing how long the name of the application is... I can open the applications by clicking blindly on that bar. The bar across the top is also active, I can open the menues by clicking in the right corner and moving the mouse until the one I want is open.

I have tried removing and reinstalling Unity as well as installing and removing fglrx. I posted originally in the following thread until I realised the OP there was describing a very different problem:

Ubuntu :: Upgrade Netbook Version To Desktop?

Jan 3, 2011

I am making the switch to Linux and I really love Ubuntu. My DVD player isn't working, so I'm using my flash drive. It was too small for the desktop installer, so I used the netbook. I'm installing it as I type this (having the browser thats available for browsing while installing is awesome!)

Is there a way to upgrade to move to the desktop version after I finish? Also, what's the difference between the two. Links are fine. I tried google, but my google-fu must not be too strong today.

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrade From 10.10 To 11.04 Failed - Can't Get To The Desktop

Apr 28, 2011

I used Kubuntus kpackagekit to upgrade to natty. The process started well, it downloaded everything and started to install 11.04. But then all of a sudden during Installing stage I got this error message:

"Distribution upgrade process exited with code 1"

and

"Your system might be unusable".

And it sure is unusable because after reboot I can only see Kubuntu 10.10 loading screen and

"The disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present".

There also are options for either skip mounting or manually mount hard disks. I don't have a clue how to manually mount... I get same message if I try to boot to safe mode. Does this mean I have to go to clean install? I really don't want to do that because last time it took a couple of months to get ubuntu to co-operate well enough with my laptop.

Ubuntu :: Upgrade To Natty Has Borked My Desktop

May 22, 2011

I'm was running 64bit maverick on an intel i3 clarkdale desktop; pretty much vanilla with the compiz spinning cube desktop displaying on my 720p HDMI telly. On 'upgrading' to natty my pc refused to display anything on the telly but can still be connected to via ssh. Assuming unity was the culprit I installed gnome and deleted unity; after plugging in a VGA monitor I finallly got an output onto a display device, then managed to configure the HDMI telly as a secondary display. Gnome is just a backdrop with no panels at all; I managed to get panels by ctrl-alt-T and typing 'gnome-panel &'; but this was only a temporary fix. If I try to run a terminal now it locks X and I can only restart via the ssh session.

Currently all I have if I boot is the gnome backdrop. The pc auto logs on (as it did under maverick) so alternate logon screens can't be accessed as pretty much all I can do is run stuff via an ssh shell on my other pc.

What I'd like to do is have my desktop how it was before natty trashed it. Preferably without unity or its very irritating scroll bar widgets.

Ubuntu :: Upgrade To 10.04 And On Start Desktop Doesn't Startup

Sep 3, 2010

I recently updated to Ubuntu 10.04. On this same machine I've used Ubuntu for 3 or 4 years now. Upgrading from 8 - 9 - 10. I love Ubuntu and use it as my everyday work environment. Anyway, recently when I start my machine in the morning it boots to commandline instead of the desktop. For the last couple days I boot to safe-mode and do a package repair. Sometimes more than once. Eventually I get the desktop to start but it is annoying. When trying to boot to Fail Safe Graphics Mode(?) I get an error stating: "Fatal Server Error: No Screens." The message referred me to /var/log/Xorg/failsafe.log. Here is a snippet of the end of that log file:

[code]...

Also, I'm using an NVidia graphics card on an HP machine. I installed the "current version" accelerated graphics driver which it says is proprietary.

Ubuntu :: Desktop Dead After Upgrade Xfce 4.8 (Xubuntu 10.10)?

Mar 10, 2011

I installed Xubuntu 10.10, fresh i don't configure or installed another program, i only installed nvidia drivers (I have a Geforce 9600 GT video card). The entire operating system, and xfce 4.6 was working fine. After, I make an upgrade to xfce 4.8, and when i loged on, everything loaded ok: xfce 4.8 version is working fine, the panels loaded and i can add items.

But there is a problem: My wallpaper image doesn't appear on desktop (only brown solid color), it doesn't show icons, i can't change wallaper in configuration panel (i can add an image but it does not appear in desktop), when I plug in a pendrive usb icon does no appear. And when I right click on the deadspace on the background the right click menu does not come up.

When i open desktop folder in thunar there is information, but icon files does not appear in desktop I thing that maybe is a setting that i can solve typing something in terminal, but i don't know what, i searched in google and in this forum and i found only one post but not related to xfce 4.8 and it was not useful[URL]...

Ubuntu Installation :: 11.04 Upgrade - Choppy Desktop Graphics With ATI?

Apr 29, 2011

Just upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04.Under 10.10, moving windows, scrolling, and compiz's expo were smooth as silk with my Radeon HD 5450 using the fglrx driver. After the upgrade, these things are very choppy, to the point that it feels like I'm running without hardware acceleration. The weird thing is, the system tells me I have acceleration --- Compiz is still running and I'm able to use expo and other effects, glxinfo reports direct rendering, and the Additional Drivers control panel tells me I'm still using fglrx (I even tried re-installing it, to no avail). OpenGL screensavers work fine, and glxgears gives me 1550 fps. Could it be that compiz is somehow not using hardware acceleration, even though my driver offers it? This happens in both Unity and Classic desktop.
