Thanks for posting your solution, bootup errors are very alarming! Commenting the line above worked for me too except my file was in /lib/udev/rules.d/90-hal.rules

I not 100% sure but I think it's solved. The problem was with cryptsetup blocking recognition of a secondary partition where Ubuntu 11.10 was installed.

This did the trick:

~$ sudo apt-get...

Hi, I am having some trouble running a pretty standard kernel update on my system Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS. I downloaded and ran the install through the software updater program but it froze during...

Good news! After enabling the multiverse repo I ran an update. This installed a few new packages from multiverse. Then tried to install acroread again and it works :)

Thanks, yes multiverse is enabled but oddly synaptic doesn't show the nspluginwrapper package. Here's what I found when I tried to manually download & install:

$ sudo dpkg -i...

Hi, I am trying to install Adobe Reader but have some dependency problems. Installing via synaptic fails because of broken packages. Here's more info from the command line:

Thanks this did the trick for me on Ubuntu 11.10. Banshee, Firefox sound works with qjackctl.

works, thanks.

I am trying to upgrade from 11.04 (Natty) to 11.10 (Oneiric). I have installed all updates via update-manager, however, there is no box indicating "A new release is available..." nor is there any...

Excellent - thanks! It turned out this was not exactly it. Rather, some security antivirus software that was running an extra firewall. After I disabled the firewall everything's copacetic.

Thanks that's very helpful.

I have a strange problem though. My ubunutu shared folder works and I can read/write to it from the windows box. But The ubuntu box doesn't see the windows shared...

Here is a line from the system log file: /var/log/syslog . It appears when Blender freezes the OS.

I have a reproducible problem running Blender 2.45 on ubuntu 8.04 (GNOME 2.22.3). The program is loaded using the command

:redface: After hunting around some more, I think the problem (and solution) are with the camera hardware, not KDE. In the camera settings menu (found on the camera itself), one can switch the USB...

I have the same error using kubuntu 8.04 with an HP photosmart M417 camera. I also tried out the camera using ubuntu 8.04 (ie GNOME desktop instead of KDE). It works fine. So I believe this is a...

continuing with the monologue, following the advice at the digiKam FAQ I fail once again. The folder /proc/sys/usb/ does not contain the directory /devices, in fact /proc/sys/usb/ is empty. Listing...

Oddly, I found there are no problems reading the camera, transferring and deleting pictures via 'fspot' photomanager in the GNOME desktop (running on a different machine). So it appears this error is...

I can't get Kubunutu to read an HP photosmart M417 camera. Upon turning it on the camera is found and mounted as USB mass storage interface. Here are some attempts at a solution so far:

Thanks for this. I am still having a little trouble. I have noticed a slow connection to pcfinancial.ca for a week or two.

My system: KDE 3.5.10 / Kubunutu 8.04.1
browser: Firefox 3.03

OK,...

Thanks a lot, Kevbert for your solution.
