Re #74 (Roland Meier): the message in #37 is Could no open output pipe, which is somewhat different from the broken pipe message. Interestingly, I've also seen the broken pipe message in an older 13.10 system, which brought up the graphical interface but froze after a while. -- You received this

I just upgraded a system from Kubuntu 14.04 to Kubuntu 14.10, and the broken pipe error popped up. Some questions for the suffering populace: 1. Does the error occur with 14.04 or only with 14.10? 2. Does it occur with 14.10 installed directly or only with 14.10 upgraded from 14.04? In my

I.ve installed the 20140923 microcode update. It solved the buffer underrun problem I was having but not the broken pipe problem. The reason I thought it would help is that I saw a post somewhere saying that this update worked but the previous one (20140624) did not. I've been trying without
