OK made some progress. I can login now.

I modified /etc/lightdm/ligthdm.conf to


[SeatDefaults]
user-session=ubuntu
greeter-session=unity-greeter

If you replace it with...

Look like I may have hit a bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1114418

I just upgraded from 12.04 to 13.04 (using do-release-upgrade, via 12.10). Overall, the upgrade went pretty smoothly.

However, I can't login as my primary user anymore from the GUI lightdm...

Thanks, I've been researching this myself and came to the same conclusion.

Nope, the second file is just a list of streams http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3U

Example, this file has 8k bitrate (way too high)

% avconv -i MyAristaFile.mpg
(blah blah blah)
Input #0, mpeg, from 'MyAristaFile.mpg':
Duration: 00:00:07.90, start: 0.287267, bitrate: 8979...

I think the difference you see is not a tool that you are using for transcoder, but a "bitrate" transcoding setting. "-target ntsc-dvd" implies a certain high bitrate. I'd recommend to play around...

I installed avidemux 2.6 using the following instructions: http://handytutorial.com/install-avidemux-2-6-in-ubuntu-12-10-12-04/

I don't see x264 as one of available encoders. If I look at startup...

We can't tell you where your packages are coming from. It wounds like you have enabled additional software sources. Perhaps these instructions:...

John, the instructions are awesome. Worked for me on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit perfectly.

Do you know if there is any way of making this scanner work with sane (and therefore work from within gimp)?

The best way to tell which driver you are (*) using is to run command


$ modinfo rtl8192ce

(or whichever flavor of rtl8192 you have in your system)

Here is modinfo for the standard Ubuntu...

I upgraded to 12.04 64-bit and had problem with Skype audio quality. Skype version is 2.2.0.35 from partner repository. Both incoming and outgoing sound was very scratchy. People had hard time...

I also have 32-bit comskip.exe and 64-bit ubuntu. Wine is supposed to take care of the conversion, I have no idea where this error is coming from. Perhaps from your wine config?

Besides, my file...

11.2 will be the last 64-bit Firefox Flash version, although security updates will be available for 5 years.

New versions of Flash will be available only in Google Chrome browser.

Give us output of vainfo command please.

Updated instructions with latest version of kmttg and added Atomic Parsley section. I guess I forgot about that tool earlier.

That's exactly the config I have, and it works for me fine. Try disabling add-ons etc.

Amazing, I just discovered this java problem (it occurred on December 15th):

I will update my instructions...

UPD: Below is no longer a good advice. See later posts.


I suspect you may not have Partner repositories enabled.

Oh boy. I love this mplayer since it's for all purposes hardcoded to use libva, and videos actually play well on my netbook.

You can try to fish for this dependency in mebibuntu or in...

Wonderful. Updated Wiki, although it's a bit early.

Did anyone manage to get working suspend/resume in Oneiric?

The open source one is called "nouveau" and it's much smaller in size :-)

It is useful indeed. I have a few bad news for you.

You are using restricted driver. There are a few suggestions on that page for suspending problems.

Nouveau open source driver doesn't work...

You haven't told us which graphics driver you use (intel, nouveau or binary nvidia), and it's very important since it's likely your graphics driver preventing you from resuming from suspend.

Very impressive. If a fellow who is admittedly non-IT tries to convince an admitted IT professional who has been building custom kernels in the nineties that it's not that hard to build custom...
