    Well, the upgrade process crashed but on a reboot 13.10 came up though with many messages about connecting to HAL. Rebooting after removing HAL and reinstalling it went smoothly. Logging in the...

    ...or not. I somehow got it working but only for a while. After that it's back to the blinking cursor screen on Switch User Account.
  5. [ubuntu] Re: My Screen went blank when I changed users

    I've had this problem ever since upgrading to oneiric, with never a problem before that release. I upgraded to precise this morning and found that everything will work fine for a while (I even...

    Hmmm. I may have fixed it, though I'm not sure I understand. I installed LightDM from the software center, rebooted, and everything worked again, the way it did before oneiric. I can arbitrarily...

    [ubuntu] switching users in precise

    I had this problem on oneiric but it's worse on precise. If I'm logged in, choosing Switch User Account brings me to a blank screen. I then can hit ALT-F7 to get back to my login or ALT-F8 to get...
  8. [ubuntu] Re: Running unity-greeter messes up settings

    I was able to work around this by deleting my ~/.config/dconf/user file and restarting. I lost some settings like desktop background and icons on the launcher, but I can put those back. Hope I...

    [ubuntu] Re: Unity: Blank screen or crash on user switch

    I've had what seems like a similar problem ever since upgrading to 11.10. If I have 2 users logged in, the switch user doesn't work too well, but from the blank screen I can hit ALT-F7 or ALT-F8 to...

    Re: steam games after upgrade to 11.10

    It seems like wine in general is hosed up. Nothing seems to be working. Kindle for PC suddenly can't open or download books, nor does it recognize that the Kindle program has already been updated...

    Re: steam games after upgrade to 11.10

    Other than the game itself, the only other process chewing up a lot of CPU was wineserver. When the game isn't running, steam takes up a lot of CPU, more than I would have though. 50-80%.

    Re: steam games after upgrade to 11.10

    I've been playing Dragon Age on steam for quite a while (on lucid, natty, and now oneiric). It ran fine on the first two, but on oneiric the frame rate is terrible and the game is barely playable. ...
