[Bug 712075] Re: [drm:drm_edid_block_valid] *ERROR* EDID checksum is invalid

2011-08-08 Thread Craig Van Degrift
Both of my Viewsonic VE710 monitors seem to produce invalid EDIDs leaving me stuck with 1024x768. The suggestion in #48 (appropriately modified) allowed me to finally get to 1280x1024, but the 11.04 Unity desktop is confused as it partly uses the old resolution. It is not clear to me where to

I have successfully used usb-creator-kde 0.2.22 with Lucid Kubuntu CD, but I had problems earlier that seem to have come from two sources. Originally, I was testing on a machine that would only boot USB sticks formatted with fat16 (Could not find kernel image: linux). I was able to work around

Works for me also. I undid the Abene workaround that I had been using, and used the new wubildr to booted a few times without difficulty. I already had the -16 kernel installed, however, so I was not testing after a new update. I did muck around quite a bit with /boot and /boot/grub/ and used

Electron - In post #104, I listed each step that I used to implement Mark Abene's fix (#69 #70) on my system where /dev/sda is the boot drive and /dev/sda1 is the partition containing the Windows XP system. That post might be what you are looking for. Be sure to study the man pages to become

I made a test to see if Grub had difficulty reaching high up in an ext4 partition (no ntfs or wubi involved so may be irrelevant to present bug). First, I installed and fully updated (as of 12/2/09) Xubuntu 9.10 in a desktop machine letting it use the entire 80GB disk with the root directory at

The following might be helpful. It summarizes Mark Albene's solution to this problem: I did a fresh install of wubi-ubuntu into a Windows XP partition, performed all updates, and observed the boot problem. I was able to reboot by typing in the commands at the grub prompt: grub linux

Chuck, After seeing no response to my bug report, I concluded that the problem was a serious one that must be well known. I think that mailman was updated to use python version 3.0 while Kubuntu was was still using 2.6. I decided to simply run my small mail server operation by hand and wait
