[Bug 1798790] Re: Ubuntu login screen never appears when using the Nvidia driver (and setting WaylandEnable=false fixes it)

2019-05-18 Thread Shannon VanWagner
Workaround in #19 working for me so far on Ubuntu 19.04. Have done a
reboot test and a powerup test so far.


Something I noticed earlier when the machine was stuck is that the machine was 
able to get to the point where I could ssh to it after the GUI hadn't started. 
The command below did bring up the GUI for me:
$ sudo systemctl restart gdm3
or even
$ /etc/init.d/gdm3 restart

Not a better workaround, but may save from rebooting while you make the
change for #19.


$ cat /etc/issue.net 
Ubuntu 19.04
$ uname -a
Linux ubuntu-am 5.0.0-15-generic #16-Ubuntu SMP Mon May 6 17:41:33 UTC 2019 
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


Here is my syslog, I do notice some activity from
'meta_kms_resources_init', mentioned in #19, in there..

Thanks for all you do!

Woops, I had bungled up the PPA install. So I removed it and then ran
sudo apt-get update  sudo apt-get upgrade and since Alberto's changes
have been included in the updates everything is now fixed.

Awesome! Thanks so much for fixing this!

I tried loading up Mr. Milone's PPA for lucid and I received this error:
  404  Not Found
W: Failed to fetch 
http://ppa.launchpad.net/albertomilone/ppa/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz
  404  Not Found

Am I doing something wrong?

I'll go and get the download from the ftp site instead.

Thanks!
Shannon

[Bug 553200] Re: Mouse and keyboard stop working after selecting user

2010-04-11 Thread Shannon VanWagner
Yep, this bug is now affecting me too. Weird because Ubuntu 10.04 was
working fine on this Dell Inspiron 2650 for some time before. So now I
used scalawag_'s suggestion at
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9054571postcount=7 to get to the
Ubuntu Desktop:

At the gdm screen:
Ctrl+alt+F2
login with username and password
sudo service gdm stop
startx

After I was booted into the GUI, I created a special user(I used
username: freeuser) via SystemAdministrationUsers and Groups, set it
up with admin privileges, then enabled the Don't ask for password on
login setting. So then after I reboot, I click the user freeuser and
it logs in automatically (sometimes gdm restarts and I have to click it
a second time, but after that it works). Then after that, I had to(as
I've always had to do with this machine while the nvidia graphics are
installed) set Appearance Preferences(right-click the desktop, click
Change Desktop Background, then Visual Effects), from Normal to
None.

Something else I notice is that my nvidia driver won't install properly.
I click SystemAdministrationHardware Drivers and then try to activate
the driver(version 96) but it fails with Sorry, installation of this
driver failed. Please have a look at the log file for details:
/var/log/jockey.log (attached).

Seems unlikely that any typical new user could even make any of this
work. So in the case of this Dell Inspiron 2650 anyway, this problem is
a vote for buying Ubuntu preinstalled.

Thanks to everyone helping with this!

Whoops, I meant to attach my jockey.log in #16. So I've done one
better.. I've attached the jockey.log and I generated a log from 'sudo
nvidia-bugreport.sh' and tarred them up together in the attachment.

Cheers!

[Bug 349312] Re: Evolution 2.26 does not support import of outlook .pst

2009-10-16 Thread Shannon VanWagner
I'm running Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 and the Evolution does a fine job of
importing PST now, via FileImportImport a Single File

This is fine work... Nice job!! Not even Mac entorage 2008 has this
capability!

If there's one more thing I could ask for, it would be to make it so
Evolution will automatically launch and start the import process when
double-clicking on a *.pst file.

IMHO, the easier you make it for the Ubuntu to be a drop in replacement
for win/olk, the more Ubuntu will get implemented in the workplace. I
use Evolution with the es2007 server every day(IMAP) and the only thing
I have a problem with is not being able to see free/busy information on
the calendar for others, and the address resolution from the gal - I
can't see to get it configured to work properly. I like Evolution a lot
better for the speed and no bloat.

Does anyone know how to change the skin for Evolution? That would be
an awesome feature.

Regards,
Shannon VanWagner

[Bug 440882] [NEW] can't play a video in Totem Movie Player with dual screens enabled

2009-10-02 Thread Shannon VanWagner
Public bug reported:

I can't play videos (i.e., *.flv, *.wmv, *.ogg, etc.) after I attach an
external monitor. I hear audio and see the progress bar move as the
video plays but there is no video output (only black).

When I remove the external monitor - videos play fine.

I have an hp nc6320 (LCD Screen)  and have attached a PLANAR 19 Monitor
- both with resolution of 1280x1024.

I have also tried to play the videos using VLC and the result is the
same.

Thanks!
