All of this started after I reverted KDE4 from 4.8 (was working in 4.7 previously) back to 4.7 so something got broken I just have no idea what.
Kubuntu 11.10 KDE4.7 Compiz 1.0.9.6
output from...
No crash in *days* since reverting back to a kernel earlier than 2.6.31. before changing to an earlier kernel, the system would freeze roughly every hour or so. something between 2.6.31+ and xorg...
Well that was interesting... I switched to 2.6.19 (one of my more "ancient" kernels) and xorg wouldn't load at all. So I switched to 2.6.22 and so far so good but I'd rather not jinx this so we'll...
so basically the system isn't listing your primary desktop environment or is it just defaulting to busybox?
what happens when you delete .metacity (warning! this resets gnome to its defaults!) or...
That's fascinating that you've managed to somehow create such a beast but in any case
rm -r /recursive_folder_name is your friend here. you may, as the second poster suggested, cd to the trash...
Radeon is one of the two major drivers used with ATI cards; the other being fglrx (which is an evil proprietary 3d accelerated card driver) you may be able to use fglrx instead however, since that...
Since LinuxMint is very much based off of Ubuntu that isn't terribly surprising. Something happened between 10.04 and 9.10 that seems to be what is causing the freezing but it doesn't look like...
Directories that start with a dot are hidden in the file browser by default. You can view them by checking the option "view hidden files."
This is standard for a great number of *nix systems
Immediately after the bios screen disappears, hit the esc key. It will bring up a list of your kernels and a recovery option beneath each.
Be very careful with sudo especially when modifying...
some graphics cards have terrible drivers that will cause that sort of behavior. Of course, it may also be a bad xorg configuration...
a few questions about the setup:
1) How much RAM is...
You may want to submit a bug report. This problem has been around for a while. Googling just "ksoftirqd" brings up quite a few results concerning this exact issue.
metacity --replace is the code for replacing compiz with metacity as the window manager

gcc is the GNU compiler collection which is used for compiling a variety of programs in C.

There seems to be the same issue going on in Suse. **however the last mention of it happening consistently was in the 2.6.24 to 2.6.27 kernels for which maverick uses a much later kernel** If you...
What I would recommend is using Ubuntu as the base system and using virtualbox-ose to run whatever operating system you'd like for study purposes.
what do you mean when you say that installing these debs "breaks your system?"
"dpkg -L packagename" lists the dependencies
normally if apt-get isn't out of commission, you could do
"apt-get...
recovery mode is root. if you haven't set a password for it, it'll be blank. sudo and root don't use the same passwords unless you set them to do so. the su command is used to drop a terminal to...
bump.
Xorg has been reconfigured although this did not solve the problem which seems to happen every hour give or take pretty randomly.
xorg is probably not configured properly. you can reconfigure xorg
by hitting esc at the screen listing the kernels that you have and select
the recovery option. this brings you to a screen...
this may be another option: add http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu
to your list of repositories and reload the software repositories. the ppa listed above is the mozilla daily...
sounds to me like flash isn't very good at piping the sound output to alsa/oss/pulseaudio like it should. 32 bit likely works a lot better at least until adobe hires a few more developers to fix...
Since I upgraded to Maverick, I noticed that Kubuntu would crash back to the kdm login or lock up entirely with even the magic syskey (alt printscreen REISUB ) not working and at first I didn't...
there's probably something wrong with either the desktop environment or xorg. the last time my install did that it was because a few of the dependencies were screwed. *check the disk for errors or...
