Re: [Bug 1220426] Re: [nvidia-prime]Freeze while using touchpad

Alexander,

Have you tried with xorg-server 1.17.x?

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:mlankhorst/ppa
sudo perl -pi.vivid -e 's/utopic/vivid/' 
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/mlankhorst-ubuntu-ppa-utopic.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install xserver-xorg-core

On Wednesday, 2015-03-04 at 07:29:13 PM, Alexander Baldwin scribbled:
 Confirmed on HP ENVY 17 (J130EA) with 14.10 x64. VT switch workaround
 does not work, nor any patches I've tried.
 
 Also seems to be the case on my desktop (custom build, non-nVidia
 graphics card, USB mouse and PS/2 keyboard).

[Bug 107798] Re: IDE Drive is Listed as SATA with Feisty Live CD and install causes GRUB to be improperly configured (Error 15 on boot)

2008-01-02 Thread Benjamin Lee Solosy
This is a HUGE bug, which has now rendered my machine completely
unbootable/usable.

I have Windows XP on my IDE hard drive, which I now cannot boot into.
And I have Ubuntu on my USB drive, which I also now cannot boot into.  I
am composing this message only by booting with my LiveCD.

Would anybody who is a Linux *expert* please care to tell me how I can
salvage my machine?

Note:  There are actually several bugs/issues involved here, including
the fact that the Ubuntu install to my USB drive actually wrote GRUB to
my *hard disk* Master Boot Record (which it never should have done!), so
this is neither a small nor a simple issue.

So if somebody could please help me salvage my machine from its
currently unusable state, I would greatly appreciate it.

P.S.  Ironically, there is also a very serious Windows XP Recovery
Console bug, which prevents me from simply restoring my MBR for Windows.
(If a machine comes pre-installed with WinXP via Sysprep (e.g. Dell
Computer), the local Administrator password is not recognized, which
prevents entering Recovery Console.)

So, in summary:  I am now very screwed due to these multiple, major,
overlapping bugs.  Please help.  Thanks.

Nope.  Doesn't work.

Even when I attempt to manually select/edit my WinXP partition at boot-
time, Grub indicates:  Error 12:  Invalid device requested.

So, here's what I have:

Still can't boot to either OS.  But especially want to boot to WinXP.

All ideas are welcome.  Thanks.

[Bug 58331] Re: fdisk doesn't write partition table

2008-01-01 Thread Benjamin Lee Solosy
I'm seeing this issue, too.  (I've encountered it in the course of
setting up a USB Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon install as described at
Pendrivelinux.)

Specifically, this is what I'm using/encountering:
4GB Kingston USB 2.0 Drive

After attempting to write new partitions (as described in the
Pendrivelinux tutorial) onto my USB drive, I received a warning that the
write failed (sorry, I do not have the exact warning output, as I was
performing the operation from LiveCD at the time).

Here's the interesting thing:

After I reboot, fdisk -l lists my USB drive as follows:

Disk /dev/sdb: 4126 MB, 4126670848 bytes
16 heads, 32 sectors/track, 15742 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 512 * 512 = 262144 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x

   Device Boot  Start End  Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1   1   15742 4029936b  W95 FAT32

However, if I use fdisk to examine the partitions in detail, it lists
the following information:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ubuntu# fdisk /dev/sdb1

Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/sdb1: 4126 MB, 4126654464 bytes
127 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1023 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 7874 * 512 = 4031488 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x6f20736b

 Device Boot  Start End  Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1p1   *   1 187  7361886  FAT16
/dev/sdb1p2 1881023 3291332   83  Linux


So, the information listed by fdisk (e.g., System information) seems to be 
inconsistent.
