(I want a clean install, not the potential hassle of multiple upgrades). Trouble is, once I'm past the boot screen I get a flickering cursor for a second or two, then nothing. The monitor goes into power saving mode. So I'm guessing that it's when the installer tries to start X, it's not detecting my monitor properly and sending nothing to it. This PC is only a couple of years old, it has an nvidia dual-head DVI graphics card and is connected to an LG monitor/TV (I've tried both outputs and I don't have another monitor). Like I say it used to work fine with Karmic. This nouveau driver is nothing but trouble…. :) Does anybody have any suggestions how to get this install to go?

It's an idea but if (as I suspect) this is a problem with the X server not detecting my screen correctly, then once I have installed 11.10 and I try to boot into the new installation I'll encounter the same problem, *and* I will have overwritten a working Karmic installation which will leave me with a large useless box :) I'd like to get the installer working correctly, otherwise I'll have no confidence that this computer will work for me with 11.10.

As I expected though I encountered the same problem - a corrupted splash screen and then a black screen. X was starting, I could hear the KDE startup sound, but I couldn't see it. Next problem then was what to do next. My idea was to boot into recovery mode to have a poke around the log files. BUT how does one get GRUB to display the menu? The timeout is set to zero seconds so it seems impossible. This was when the swearing started. In the end I resorted to pulling the power cable out during boot in order to force grub to give a menu next time, and just hope to luck my hard drive still worked afterwards. I'm glad it wasn't a laptop… But this was already a bad state of affairs - the most difficult Linux installation I've had in 8 years. But things got worse. Having managed to get into recovery mode and remembered how to remount the filesystem as writeable (mount -o rw,remount / in case anyone needs it). I poked around the log files and sure enough, in the Xorg log I could see a bunch of stuff coming from the nouveau driver. I regret that I didn't study gibberish at university but I got the impression that the nouveau driver was confused and not sure what to do, but that it was prepared to let X start anyway in the hope that miracles might occur. They didn't. So I thought well I'll just install the nvidia driver and it'll be OK. More swearing… recovery mode doesn't bring the network up… and I couldn't figure it out (ifconfig eth0 up didn't do what I expected). For future reference if anybody knows how to do this it would be helpful. What I did next was resort to the systems engineer's SOP - smoke a cigarette, curse loudly, and then reboot to see if it happens again. Except that my 'shutdown -r now' command mystically made X start and I could see the display! Things were now getting very strange. The Xorg log showed that this time nouveau had decided against trying anything and had allowed the VESA driver to load. So now I can install the nvidia driver! Oh no, wait, plasma just crashed. And now kded has thrown an exception and - oh look! The system has rebooted itself! How helpful. It turned out that by selecting recovery mode and then simply selecting 'continue normal boot' I was able to get X with the VESA driver from where I was able to install the nvidia driver and now it all works. So I reckon the problem was plymouth all along, but I am not going to attempt to prove it; you'll just have to trust me. I have 3 suggestions for the Ubuntu devs after this highly educational experience: 1) The GRUB time-out of 0 seconds is not helpful, at least give us a fighting chance of getting to the menu 2) 'Recovery mode with networking' would be a really helpful option. Even Windows XP used to have that option. 3) Plymouth is rubbish I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I didn't enjoy experiencing it.

However, one question remains. When starting Kleopatra, a "self-test" is being carried out. The whole checklist looks all right, except the last point of attention on it: the so-called "GPG agent connection". This connection is not available. Two corrective actions are being proposed: 1. to check whether "GPG Agent" functions; 2. to check whether "GPG_AGENT-INFOvariable" is up to date. With respect to both checks, my question is: how can I carry them out? Thanks, respectfully yours, Bsa. -- ==================== Bas G.

For now I've added myself, but won't install any of the workarounds as plymouth - amazingly - doesn't bug me on my current setup (it probably will at sometime when I'm unable to see what's happening during boot).

Things start fine, but seeing errors about "command terminal not found" and "plymounth killed" is going to cause a user call support. The system works fine, it is just that the only start-up feedback are errors from plymouth.

It also appears as a printer option when I go to print something and it does work with the USB cable connected. What I'm trying to do is set it up also as a wireless printer. (The P1102w does not have an ethernet interface.) It's when I try to install it as a wireless printer that I need the proprietary driver-plugin. After several email exchanges with HP support in which they kept referring me to the web site with HPLIP (which I already have), they gave up and told me they only support Windows. The question is: What does the driver-plugin do? It doesn't seem to enable the wireless connection; my router can see the printer as an attached device. But if it's just a print driver, I would think I already have it for the USB printer.

After the discussion here and further thought, I decided to"sudo hp-setup" in Konsole instead of trying to install the driver-plugin in the HPLIP gui. That works!

Simply download the latest release from mozilla. Then, just as an example, decompress the download to /opt/firefox or unzip and then move the resulting directory to /opt as root, i.e. with sudo mv /opt And then use /opt/firefox/firefox to start firefox When you want to update your firefox, do, just for the update purposes, sudo /opt/firefox/firefox Surely, you can also use firefox from your home, but then other users will not have the latest firefox realease for them to use.

I purged php5 earlier today and just installed libapache2-mod-php5.

Not specifically. That will run firefox as root, which will then allow the update process you still need to select from the menus to actually function. This method is required because /opt/firefox, in the above scenario, is owned by root. An alternative to this is to change the group ownership on /opt/firefox and all subdirectories and files from root to some other group that exists, then add write privileges to the group attributes for everything under the /opt/firefox tree, then add the group to your userid, which will then give your id the necessary privileges to then be able to run firefox without the requirement for sudo to update firefox. This is the process I am using for firefox 8 in another distribution. regards, Steve > > ray > > On 11/15/11, Eberhard Roloff wrote: >> Am 13.11.2011 20:52, schrieb ray burke: >>> Eberhard Roloff, >>> >>> OK then how do I stop the 3.6 and download the latest version for >>> k10.10 as deb format? >>> >>> ray >>> >> There is no need for a deb.

You can put it all together by using "sudo find . -iname firefox -print0 | xargs -0 chown -R yourusername:" This will search the current directory and all subdirectories for any files/directories named firefox and change both the user and group to the "yourusername" variable. Give that a try, it's probably the fastest way to do it. If you want to test it beforehand, use everything before | and that will show you the various matches to the string. When you've got your results, you can use "file filename" to view the file type. The one you want is a binary file. Hope this helps.

From nigel at prayingforisrael.net Thu Nov 17 11:54:00 2011 From: nigel at prayingforisrael.net (Nigel Ridley) Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2011 13:54:00 +0200 Subject: Bug? with 10.11 Plasma/Plasmoids Message-ID: <4EC4F5D8.6080605@prayingforisrael.net> This is 10.11 Oneiric. Before I file a bug I want to be able to narrow it down a bit and was wondering if anyone else had noticed the following (or similar): Woke up this morning to no internet connection and a dead plasma-desktop (it was black behind a running Thunderbird window). At first I tried 'F2 > plasma-desktop' which sort of worked for a moment then got 'stuck'. I couldn't access the 'logout' feature and resorted to 'Alt + Ctrl + F1' to get to a tty and issued "sudo halt'. I rebooted the laptop, logged in and the plasma-desktop got stuck again with the small 'desktop loading' splash screen stuck in the middle of a half loaded desktop (I could see the kicker bar and a couple of non-kde apps running as well as a couple of [internet accessing] plasmoids. The internet connection was still down. Couldn't do anything - not even 'Alt + Ctrl + F1' so had to hit the power button. I tried renaming, from tty1, .kde to kdeOLD and then .kdeGOOD to .kde then logged into kde but still had the same problems. I then decided to start afresh and renamed.kde to kde01, then logged back into a clean plasma-desktop :-) When the internet connection came back on I then put things back the way they were with my backup copy of my original .kde (with all my [internet accessing] plasmoids) and everything was OK again. So why, when there is no internect connection, and [internet accessing] plasmoids running, does plasma-desktop refuse to load properly? Where would I look for a 'bug' and how to reproduce it? Nigel P.S. Sorry for the long explanation.

I think there are two bugs. Firstly I notice on a couple of machines that the internet connection will refuse to come up if I do a 'Restart'. Only a full power-off power-on cycle works. I initially logged a bug about this in the Beta relating to there being no ethernet after resume from sleep but there's been no activity on it from the devs and I gave up. It's a bug in network manager and it was working in the early Betas but got broken about a week before release. The thing with the plasmoids is trickier to track down. Again, this has only started recently (it doesn't happen on my natty machine running the same version of KDE) so I suspect it's something lower down and not a problem with plasma itself. In your case your internet connection simply died overnight. I've not noticed this (was it wired or wireless? I don't use wireless as it's been flaky beyond belief since natty). Given what I've uncovered about network manager recently I wonder if your network controller has some kind of power-save mode it slips into after a long period of inactivity -this could potentially invoke the same bug I've found with sleep mode.

You need to find out where your copy of firefox (if any) is located on your system. 1) How did you install firefox? From a .deb file? or what 2) Do a: ls -la /usr/bin/firefox (it might be there) 3) Do a ls -la /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser (that might point to it) 4) Someone suggested issuing: which firefox (yes that's a command) here's what it shows on my system. which firefox /usr/bin/firefox 5) Maybe do the install again and see if the msgs tell you where it was installed.

It seems to do that by default after the update, or perhaps your mixer setting got changed. Check your other levels and see if changing them works. You can use xbacklight to change the brightness, xbacklight -set 100 will turn the backlight up to 100%, just change the number to a level you like.

I have done over 300 installs (mostly laptops) and I have never gotten it to work once without a lot of hassles. I just solve it by installing "wicd"-- it has never failed after I learned the trick of removing ALL references to network manager. I always try to use the installation as it comes off the disk but so far success has eluded me -- some day I will get smart and just remove it from the git go. Any program that is that much trouble needs to be scratched at its source. Maybe it is something in the installation program. I don't have the time to scratch my almost bald head raw to fix it. I just upgraded this laptop to Kubuntu 11.10 -- the network didn't work plus it had a funky mouse behavior. I then installed Linux Mint and it worked immediately -- everything out of the box. I had to reinstall some programs and libraries; my panels were exactly the the same, my wired and wireless connections worked. I wish someone would fix network manager -- that is the only complaint I have for Kubuntu! Sorry about the rant -- I am just sad and aggravated a great piece of software has been allowed to be ruined by one crappy component.

There are still some 'missing links' as auto completion doesn't work in KMail and it's not possible to set which resources should be used for Events(Journals/ToDos. I guess it will have to be left as Work in Progress ;-) Come to think of it maybe I should add a comment to the bug report. -- Med venlig hilsen / Best Regards Thomas Olsen From anj.tuesday at gmx.net Wed Nov 23 19:43:24 2011 From: anj.tuesday at gmx.net (Anj Tuesday) Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2011 20:43:24 +0100 Subject: No love lost between KMail/Akonadi and fetchmail/postfix/mbox... Message-ID: <4ECD4CDC.2080207@gmx.net> I use fetchmail and postfix to regularly retrieve mail from a number of POP accounts; it ends up in /var/mail/anj. I also have an Akonadi mbox resource pointed at that file so I can easily get at all my mail with any random email client I might want to try. This works fine with Thunderbird or Evolution as well as console mailers like Alpine... and it has worked fine in the past with pre-Akonadi KMail. But now Akonadi pops up four notifications every time I receive mail to complain that file:///var/mail/anj has been changed by another program and that a backup has been created. Isn't it *supposed* to be changed by another program? How else would it receive email? I can turn off file monitoring for the Akonadi mbox resource, but then KMail never finds any new email any more! I tried the procmail and mutt lockfile options but they don't help with that (clearly I'm also in way over my head here!).

Have you tried just leaving it for quite some time to see if it stops? If you have lots of emails it might just be doing an initial scan or indexing or something.

Not seeing it with KMail, but I was seeing it in various other situations (like when I plug in a removable hard drive, which it's supposed to ignore but doesn't). There is a setting somewhere to increase the memory available to it. This helped a little, but not very much. Akonadi is what drove me away from KDE in the end. It's a great concept but doesn't appear to have been properly thought through. My way to cure it? I bought a Mac. Never looked back. Still use KDE for some things, but I won't go back to it for day-to-day use.

True, but I *like* my KDE desktop and the apps "fitting in". I just don't like Akonadi (or it being broken)...

I have a similar problem with konsole screens. They always open at 420 x 1080 which makes them as tall as my screen. I can change their size with the cursor and have set the "save size when closing" box but they always open to the same large size.

Hi Bruce, Kmail has some bad problems and even those who are 'developing' it say so and suggest that one uses, temporarily or otherwise, say, Thunderbird. There is nothing wrong with KDE (I am using KDE 4.7.3) - it's fine, but I don't use kmail (I use TB) and don't use Akonadi's features.

But then this is how Linux works - we're not only the users, we're the beta testers too. If you need a system that's stable and reliable, wait for a new release and then install the *previous* release with all its updates - that way you get something that has been tested and fixed. Or just use Debian stable. It does mean you don't get all the 'cutting edge' features - but those are the ones that usually cause all the trouble. Amongst my peers we have a saying that the phrase 'cutting edge' or 'latest release' is just marketing-speak for 'it isn't finished and it doesn't work' :) Mark On 27 Nov 2011, at 00:29, Basil Chupin wrote: > On 27/11/11 03:36, Bruce Marshall wrote: >> For the last several years, I've been running XFCE as a lightweight desktop >> because I didn't want to go through all of the glitz and development pains of >> KDE 4.xx >> >> Then came 11.10 and kmail2. >> >> I bit the bullet and switched (with great effort) to kmail2 and started to >> live with KDE. >> >> Although kmail2 has been a great disaster, and I see more and more use of >> AKONADI (which I think sucks), I don't see much hope for kubuntu, as least as >> far as I am concerned. >> >> As an example, I have a "lab-rat" machine here that I use to test out new >> releases.

On Galaxy Tab 10.1 it doesn't have any such option. When you connect it only shows "MTP Initialising" and that's it.

I browse like this sometimes as Networkmanager still can be a bit flaky for USB GSM/CDMA modems I was told "once upon a time" to use sudo wvdial as wvdial needs access to whatever in the system that a non-admin does not have. Right or wrong I have no idea.

Should > work fine. This is exactly were I've mad my preferred settings. And it does work in that panel. I mean I see my changes taking effect on the bottom of the panel itself. However Digital Clock respects Date format as set in "Date & Time" but does not respect Time format and instead keeps showing time in 24 hours format. Anybody knows were Digital Clock keeps its settings. It might provide helpful to delete existing settings and thus to force it to refresh itself. But I have no idea where to look for them.

I guess the digital clock widget takes whatever is in effect when it is installed. So I uninstalled it (while 24 hr was in effect) and reinstalled.... No change Still shows a PM time.

Both monitors now show the same screen, I just can't seem to get them to work as separate screens. Have the setting in the X server settings set to "Separate X Screen" [ should it be "Twin View" ].

OK, this thing allowed me to set time in the desired format. More of that I was actually able to make the time being displayed GNOME style I used to. But again all this only after playing with Adjustable Clock Source tab. Otherwise right after installed it showed time in 24 hours format as well, despite of the fact that system is set to display time in 12 PM/AM hours format. So as a workaround it's doing the job. However the mystery is still there. The time format in system settings is set to 12 hours format but it is not respected by both widgets out of box. More of that when I hover a cursor over Adjustable Clock the tool-tip is still shows time in 24 hours format. Oh boy, I've just noticed that Dolphin does not respect the 12 hours format either. So it is not only clock widgets. It is system wide problem. This is really annoying.

Dolphin shows 2011-11-28 18:30 for a file created just now. My clock widgets displayed (until workaround found) Mon., Nov. 23, 18:29. Coming from GNOME2 I've just not used to this yet. :-) And then it's really boring being forced to think in 2 different time formats at the same time. And, no offence to Kubuntu, I've just checked Dolphin with Majeia and openSUSE they do not suffer from this. If it is a bug I probably need to report it. But I'll take some more time to look into it first. From doc.evans at gmail.com Tue Nov 29 04:46:58 2011 From: doc.evans at gmail.com (D. R.

I'd like to know that too, so I can set the font size in the panel properly. I have three clocks in the panel. Two look fine. The font on the third is the wrong size (indeeed, it's so large that it's actually clipped for some values of the displayed time). I asked here a while ago to try to find out where the values are stored, but the only response I received, which I'm sure was well meaning, said that clock fonts auto-size themselves. But they don't, at least not here, otherwise all three clocks would have the same sized font. So I want to know where the file is that sets these things, to see what values are in there. I don't know why this information (i.e., where the configuration values for things like the font size) isn't readily available when one right-clicks plasmoids.

If you are having a hassle with anything on the Taskbar - including the clock - you can replace it with the default taskbar and then build it up from there to what you now have re quicklaunch icons etc etc. A hint if you do want to replace the Taskbar with the clean, default one: DELETE the current one before installing the default one.

I can confirm the behaviour. Plasma crashes on logout/shutdown. Not every time, but most of the time. (Same with sending mails with Kmail.) The problem with sending a backtrace is that it happens on logout.

That is if it doesn't get through post. First try to remove one memory and see if that helps. It may be that it can't handle more than 2 gigs.

I'm sure most of you are aware of the Ubuntu Friendly community hardware testing programme that's currently being piloted. The idea is for members of the community to run a quick test on how well their systems work with Ubuntu, and submit this information to a website where data is aggregated and a useful "friendliness" rating is generated for each model. This information is useful, for instance, in determining which systems work well with Ubuntu, and whether a particular hardware component is likely to work or give trouble. The beta version of the website can be seen here: http://friendly.ubuntu.com/ The website contains instructions on how to run the test client and submit results; the test client is included in Ubuntu by default. Our efforts have mainly been focused on Ubuntu, so while we have done some work to enable Kubuntu users to run the tests (install checkbox-gtk and gstreamer0.10-gconf), we are not too sure on how real Kubuntu users perceive the whole Ubuntu Friendly experience: from client installation to running the test suite, to submitting results and querying the webpage. Thus we'd like to request your valuable help in ensuring that Ubuntu Friendly is equally comfortable for Kubuntu users. If you're interested in helping, we'd very much appreciate if you could join the Ubuntu Friendly Squad (https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-friendly-squad, the link to subscribe to the mailing list is at the bottom) and share your experiences using Ubuntu Friendly with us. We'd also be quite grateful if you could help us test any enhancements that may stem from testing done by Kubuntu users. If you have any questions feel free to either ask on the Ubuntu Friendly mailing list or email me directly. Thanks for your help making this programme useful for more people, we hope to hear from you soon! - Daniel From kassube at gmx.net Wed Nov 30 22:43:51 2011 From: kassube at gmx.net (Nils Kassube) Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2011 23:43:51 +0100 Subject: I wonder if there is a solution...

I would have a look in the manual of the machine. Maybe there are troubleshooting instructions included for this situation. Other than that you could disconnect the machine from the power supply, take out the battery and leave it disconnected overnight. Perhaps it will then run again (of course after you connected the power). Nils
