[Bug 1080701] Re: After 'Preparing to install Ubuntu' screen, raring installation hangs

2013-04-21 Thread askuhn
I can confirm Dan Kegel's experience in comment #122 was the same as I had on my machine. Mounting a partition I would not be using with nautilus and answering no to the in the installer's prompt allowed me to continue. This definitely needs to be a blocker for 13.04, in my (admittedly novice)

A kernel update was suggested by the software updater today (Nov 5) and it broke my nvidia driver module again. If I weren't familiar with the terminal and what strings to pull to get things working, my 12.10 system would have essentially been broken by a stable update three weeks after launch

I'm just adding to the clutter here as this has been said many times, but simply separating this feature/sponsorship from the home lens satisfies all of my concerns as an Ubuntu user. I applaud Canonical for trying to monetize their product, but not if it compromises user privacy without their

I think that leuke and andrewcomminos might be right about nautilus. When I enable unredirect and reboot, my desktop icons draw, then disappear for a split second while compiz crashes, then reappear. If I double click on /usr/bin/compiz, Unity (re)starts perfectly fine. -- You received this bug

Any news/progress on this regression? It remains in Unity 5.12 (5.12-0ubuntu1.1). XBMC behaves itself better with unredirect enabled on my nvidia hardware and its inconvenient to switch my DE from Unity when I want to use it... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of

VDPAU_NVIDIA_NO_OVERLAY=1 from comment #163 did *not* fix the stability issues on my GTS 250. Flash still crashed every minute or two. The patched libvdpau from the PPA is still the only proper fix I have been able to find for my hardware. It doesn't look like any progress is being made on

Achieving an effect similar to colorize_scrollbar that nihop and Ivan mentioned, I tweaked some values in gtkrc and (accidentally) created a more subtle change that provides some contrast. My related post here: http://askubuntu.com/a/114018/46882 My vision is fine and I have a difficult time

I've also used this setting to fix XBMC because compiz causes severe tearing without it. I've added a startup entry that runs /usr/bin/compiz upon login as a temporary workaround that works about 90% of the time, but I still occasionally end up with a session that only shows the wallpaper. I

Sorry to revive this topic, but I see this lack of contrast as a major usability issue with the legacy scrollbars. Any progress (or attention) on this would be great :) I accidentally came up with a scrollbar that contrasts while still fitting Ambiance very well (better than default, imo). See
