Am having issues on Kubuntu 64bit with Firefox & Thunderbird, these apps freeze my system until I close them.

Cary

Needed to delete the same 2 files in Kubuntu & all ok again now :)

Cary

Ok after RTFM I created a xorg.conf & added

Section "Module"
Disable "glx"
EndSection

Now have Nvidia driver with FF & T-Bird. Thanks EFfenberg :)

Cary

So am I the only one with this problem still???

Cary

I renamed the Quirks directory & bingo I have glorious Nvidia driver working :P


Cary

For what it's worth, I've just performed a fresh install (need to do it every couple of years) & I get the same result with Kubuntu.


Cary

Yep can relate, am using LXDE just for laughs :lolflag:

Have had a broken KDE session for about 3 days, am I in isolation or is this wide spread? I (with brain out of gear) applied a update the other day that removed kubuntu-desktop when I try to install...

My keyboard only goes to F12 ;) Now I'm jealous that you have something I don't:guitar:

Looking a little more globally this would be great to be the default in Kubuntu as well (all *buntu flavours) I think concentrating our efforts on best of breed applications will cut down on double...

Not sure if the same problem for me, I lost my desktop & effects in Kubuntu. I can alt+f2 to get my apps to run. I have installed xfce window manager to get by.

Cary

Am on xfce due to KDE4 being pooched at the moment, Ah the fun of testing:-)

Cary

I would love to have Xen kernels in Ubuntu so I don't have to be on Debian for my servers & Ubuntu/Kubuntu on the desktops.


Cary

Ronacc Thanks for the best laugh I have had for a while :-)


Cary

I would like to see fingerprint reader support in Kubuntu, seems as though the KDE people are not pursuing this so i wonder if the Kubuntu team will pick this up?


Cary

Sorry for the DFU comment but can you give some more detail on how to use this? This is what I get from the terminal...

It looks absolutely awful in KDE, I changed mine back & now is fine. KDE apps are okish but Firefox & Thunderbird were downright ugly:-(

Cary

try this it might fix your problem


sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup


Cary

Link???

I didn't install hwinfo as I'm running Kubuntu & thought it was a Gnome app that would install Gb's of data! WRONG have installed it now...

root@stinkpad:~# hwinfo --framebuffer
02: None 00.0:...

I tried this on my stinkpad (1366x768) & I got a trip down memory lane, CGA graphics (think 100 font size) I also tried 1024x768 with no real difference.

Bugger Cary

Is it inappropriate to say Lol?

After todays updates (update to xorg-server) I installed the prop driver (via jockey) now my Nvidia works flawlessly without a xorg.conf


Cary

This has been documented pretty widely on this forum, my experience is that if I use the prop driver with ignore abi etc my laptop boots to 640x800 graphics. I tried to specify the mode in the...

I tried the ignoreABI & removed the nvidia-current package without luck with ny Nvidia chipset so I removed the xorg.conf & rebooted & now have basic graphics working again:p
