Hmm... no traction on this and I can't help but wonder if I'm the only one seeing this problem.
There was talk on launchpad about a similar problem but it was supposedly fixed.
Does anyone...

Ok I figured it out. Hopefully this will help someone else.
I do development on this machine and at some point in the past I apparently installed my own version of portaudio in /usr/local/lib!

Upstart not unmounting disks
Very frustrated. I have used Unix for ages so I understood the SysV startup stuff. But I have not had a lot of luck with Upstart.
The other day I noticed that on every reboot my disks are getting...
I am having this same problem. When I start audacity it dies with:
audacity: symbol lookup error: audacity: undefined symbol: Pa_GetStreamHostApiType
Used to work. Very embarrassing as my wife...
NVIDIA 275.09.04 (beta) fixes this.
I am still having this trouble in different areas. If I try to "tear off" a tab in Chrome (that is, click on a tab and drag it to its own window) that is a 100% hang. If compositing is turned off it...
Upgraded and been 99.9% happy. But...
I use the NVIDIA proprietary drivers. KWin has always worked fine for me in the past. I have a few Chrome application links I use. Now opening them in any way...
I've run Kubuntu for a long time and I make use of serial ports for lots of things (embedded system programming and debugging mostly). My current CPU doesn't have a serial port so I have a 2 serial...
Here's what I do for my mom.
I have a single icon on her desktop drug over to one side that says "GIVE AL CONTROL".
That icon starts her VNC server in reverse mode where it reaches out to a...
Recently virtualbox started not letting me use any USB devices unless they were hot plugged. That is, no devices that were plugged in at boot were visible unless they were unplugged and replugged. In...
What I did for now -- and yes, I know the risks of doing so -- was to temporarily rename /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-24 out of the way and then made a symlink so that 2.6.32-23 stood in for it....
Thanks, but this seems to describe the normal way you do this. That works on every kernel except the latest.
So yeah I made sure /usr/src/linux was the right link and the headers all all there...
Well I didn't include them because frankly they are bogus. If you look at how conftest.h is set up in the build process it is clearly misidentifying something and then populating conftest.h with...
I have used the NVidia proprietary drivers for awhile. Yes, I know about nv and I even know about the prepackaged ones, but I've never minded getting the latest from NVidia, dropping out of X, and...
I've used this before and upgraded to the latest. This is on 64 bit Kubuntu. Had to copy the icon, of course, and populate the presets directory.
Works fine when you start it up. But if you...
Spoke too soon. After 9 days uptime the hangs have come back. I can't figure out what's going on. However, using the SVN version of Handbreak to rip a DVD appears to pretty consistently either hang...
Worked for me on 10.4 32 bit Kbuntu Netbook remix.
Now to tell the truth -- I thought I would be smart and resize my ext4 to make the boot partition. For whatever reason it seemed to work and on a...
The latest Ubuntu release got rid of hal and current versions of VirtualBox require it for USB.
Try:
Alt+F2
and then
sudo hald
I haven't returned to the suspend/resume (since I don't use them on a desktop -- I know, I know, I'm not green). But the hangs apparently were due to having enhanced wait turned on in the BIOS. So...
Great how to! I've wanted ZFS for a long time but hate to run my root under Fuse. This seems great -- put it on my netbook which is not critical to my everyday work flow. Compressed SSD! Fantastic.

10.04 hangs apparently at random + suspend issues
Well I had a perfectly good 9.10 system and upgraded to 10.04. Some problems but in the end, all working ok EXCEPT... now if I leave the computer for any length of time it is likely to hang hard. No...
Ok, I think I figured it out. The distribution comes with a newer binary driver and was installing it with DKMS. But for some reason I had an old version of the Open GL driver so ksmserver would find...
Title says it all.
Boot gives me the "Running in low graphics mode" dialog. Switch to a real console, kill kdm, run the NVidia installer, and start kdm. All is great. Next boot, same thing over...
Oh yeah Chrome has its problems too. Just saying, I've been enjoying it. Variety, after all, is the spice of life.
Well done. My FF was crashing this morning and I figured out it was libflash (not so shocking) so I came here and found this post. Worked for me. Of course, I've been slowly weaning over to Chrome...
