And also this is weird: in bumblebee.conf

Bleh im soon giving up the whole linux experience for good. Been strugling with this for years now, both times the gfx card has been the problem. Last laptop had AMD...

Thanks mate! I've re-installed ubuntu now and upgrading the kernel by your method here. I'll let you know how it goes =) Thanks for helping me! =)


EDIT: Hmm did the commands, did the dist...

Thanks mate! I already did that weird upgrade, must say it was a very strange way to upgrade just the kernel =)

Ill try your method now =)

Thanks


OOPS: octodur@mainframe:~$ sudo...

Cheers mate, i'll see to that PPA and upgrade the kernel.


EDIT:
After reading the comments bellow on that site im not sure this was the right way to upgrade the kernel =)...

So no thoughts on this?

Alright so im not 100% sure whats going on but the nvidia modles dont get made with DKMS, no matter what i try they wont make. Im not sure if its because the Quirks fail to recognize my laptop?

Man after setting up my moms new Toshiba C660-D123 laptop with ati graphics card and getting some miss configures in brightness and all that she eventually got tired of all the problems.

Now i...

Yeah this is a great problem. I just bought the C660-D1 for my mom and its all gone haywire! I can install ubuntu 10.04 x64 and it works. But as soon as i try to update it to 10.10 everything fails....

Hmm isnt there a tmpgenc for linux as well ? This is open source if i dont remember wrong. If not maybe running the software trough wine might do the job for you? Sounds a bit un-nececary but if your...

Just a tip, did you try the PPM in this bug report ?

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/568988

It did wonders for me (still havent solved my issue 100% but at least...

I'll have to test that as well tomorrow as its soon bed time for me. Im almost excited to test all this as im very dull it has a big difference if network or no network in there...

Well i can almost say 95% for sure it has something to do with the network as well. It feels like if its receiving some signals of the net it will work better and "not hang" for longer time.

Im...

Wow this is really stunning!

Here we go, 5 tests where made with no network cable plugged here are the timings:

0.35 minutes, 1.24 min, 1.26 min, 0.34 min, 0.35 min

Stunningly it shows that...

Okey for the sake of it i'll do them =) So how do you want me to do them?
sudo eth0 down or just remove the ethernet cable ?

lunatico, i used to "fix" this issue before by having a wine installation of uTorrent running a few torrents (seeding and downloading) so that the internet (i think it was the whole system though)...

Iain, you cant imagine the feeling i have right now =) Im so happy linux is running as smooth as it did back in the days on my old computers. Its a relive of pain having to always having the same...

Okey its gonna be a few edits, here we go first:

Removed the fglrx driver to run on the default one from the installation (forgot how to check which one =) removed all visual effects, rebooted and...

Thanks for replying ibuclaw, im not sure if there is any other driver in there. I know that im using the properitairy driver (or how you spell it =) to run compiz a bit slow but functional. So there...

Yeps now you got me right =) Did you see the video i put on youtube, its a bit more visual than just text =)

I've had this behaviour for a while now to be honest, but before i was able to "remove...

No as soon as i move my mouse or type something on my keyboard everything works fine. As long as i keep doing this the computer will work without any error. As soon as i dont use the mouse or...

Damn well then you are suffering another issue, mine just "locks" the screen and halts all activity (downloads and so on) but resumes when i move the mouse again (though download most of the times i...
