Hello everyone!
Yesterday finally I upgraded to 12.04 from 10.04.
The system is now pretty messed up. Half of the indicators weren't there, so I had to install them one by one. I believe the whole unity thing requires a lot of stuff that the upgrade did not install.
As usual, it tried installing the fglrx, which does not work on my system and leads to a black screen. I solved that.
However, today it's happening again, after some unity crashes (which unity --replace usually solved). I managed to get some output with nomodeset. The startup got blocked at Timidity, sometimes just blocked, sometimes saying '/etc/timidity is not ours'. (I tried the solution here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/timidity/+bug/1035592 it didn't work at first, I'm not sure it's working now).
Now I've managed to get to a graphical session, not sure I can reproduce that... So any quick help would be appreciated, since I'm scared of rebooting, so to speak.
Also, the update manager told me that only a partial update was possible, it's now updating 977 packages.
I'm a bit lost on this onw since it might be happening that several things are going wrong, aggravated by the fact the graphical card does not handle linux very well.
Let me know what information would be useful...
