11.10 startup problems
Sorry in advance for the vague title, but i have experienced many problems...
First off, i want to say i currently have formatted my computer 4 times this month. The only things I always install are:
Skype
Flash 11 for mozilla (via the ubuntu software center)
Bumblebee (to support my NVidia card) following this tutorial:
Sun Java following this tutorial: http://superuser.com/questions/35398...u-11-10-onericCode:$ sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/stable $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install bumblebee After installation, allow yourself to use Bumblebee (replace USER by your username): For me this next line would look like ($ sudo usermod -a -G bumblebee regor) because my user name is regor when I log in. So replace USER with your user name. $ sudo usermod -a -G bumblebee USER $ sudo apt-get install virtualgl-libs:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libc6:i386 $ sudo reboot
Minecraft, using this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1726735
GIMP
Then, it goes perfect for around 3-4 days, then it begins to get slower and slower day by day, the boot process takes more and more time, untill, after around a week, it won't boot saying serious errors were found when checking the disk and i'm forced to format everything.
Today i thought it wasn't going to boot but it did... the only thing was that the launcher didn't load properly!!! I couldn't open anything, I had to make a text file only to open firefox right now and find a solution.
(To solve the launcher problem I did "unity --reset" and it worked, but in terminal it said this)
Now, after this i still don't understand WHY my computer is acting so weird... Thanks in advance to anyone who will help me figure this out!Code:ciro@K73SV:~$ unity --reset unity-panel-service: no process found Checking if settings need to be migrated ...no Checking if internal files need to be migrated ...no Backend : gconf Integration : true Profile : unity Adding plugins Skipping upgrade com.canonical.unity.unity.01.upgrade Skipping upgrade com.canonical.unity.unity.02.upgrade Initializing core options...done Initializing bailer options...done Initializing detection options...done Initializing composite options...done Initializing opengl options...done Initializing decor options...done Initializing mousepoll options...done Initializing vpswitch options...done Initializing animation options...done Initializing snap options...done compiz (expo) - Warn: failed to bind image to texture Initializing expo options...done Initializing move options...done Initializing place options...done Initializing grid options...done Initializing gnomecompat options...done Initializing wall options...done Initializing ezoom options...done Initializing workarounds options...done Initializing resize options...done Initializing fade options...done Initializing unitymtgrabhandles options...done Initializing scale options...done Initializing session options...done Screen geometry changed: 0x0x1600x900 unity-panel-service: no process found Initializing unityshell options...done DEBUG 2012-02-22 09:58:47 glib <unknown>:0 Setting to primary screen rect: x=0 y=0 w=1600 h=900 Initializing staticswitcher options...done Setting Update "main_menu_key" Setting Update "run_key" compiz (core) - Warn: failed to receive ConfigureNotify event on 0x30000e9 WARN 2012-02-22 09:59:00 unity.glib.dbusproxy GLibDBusProxy.cpp:255 Cannot call method InfoRequest proxy /com/canonical/unity/lens/files does not exist WARN 2012-02-22 09:59:00 unity.glib.dbusproxy GLibDBusProxy.cpp:255 Cannot call method SetActive proxy /com/canonical/unity/lens/files does not exist WARN 2012-02-22 09:59:00 unity.glib.dbusproxy GLibDBusProxy.cpp:255 Cannot call method InfoRequest proxy /com/canonical/unity/lens/music does not exist WARN 2012-02-22 09:59:00 unity.glib.dbusproxy GLibDBusProxy.cpp:255 Cannot call method SetActive proxy /com/canonical/unity/lens/music does not exist WARN 2012-02-22 09:59:00 unity.glib.dbusproxy GLibDBusProxy.cpp:255 Cannot call method InfoRequest proxy /com/canonical/unity/lens/applications does not exist WARN 2012-02-22 09:59:00 unity.glib.dbusproxy GLibDBusProxy.cpp:255 Cannot call method SetActive proxy /com/canonical/unity/lens/applications does not exist WARN 2012-02-22 09:59:00 unity.glib.dbusproxy GLibDBusProxy.cpp:255 Cannot call method InfoRequest proxy /com/canonical/unity/lens/commands does not exist WARN 2012-02-22 09:59:00 unity.glib.dbusproxy GLibDBusProxy.cpp:255 Cannot call method SetActive proxy /com/canonical/unity/lens/commands does not exist WARN 2012-02-22 09:59:02 unity.iconloader IconLoader.cpp:509 Unable to load contents of file:///usr/share/icons/unity-icon-theme/places/svg/category-installed.svg: Error opening file: No such file or directory WARN 2012-02-22 09:59:02 unity.iconloader IconLoader.cpp:509 Unable to load contents of file:///usr/share/icons/unity-icon-theme/places/svg/category-available.svg: Error opening file: No such file or directory WARN 2012-02-22 10:00:30 glib <unknown>:0 Unable to fetch children: Method "Children" with signature "" on interface "org.ayatana.bamf.view" doesn't exist WARN 2012-02-22 10:00:30 glib <unknown>:0 Unable to fetch children: Method "Children" with signature "" on interface "org.ayatana.bamf.view" doesn't exist WARN 2012-02-22 10:00:30 glib.glib-gobject <unknown>:0 instance of invalid non-instantiatable type `(null)'
