Try them both and see if either of them prevents the crash from occurring. It's likely that it will occur on all three versions, but it's worth giving each a try anyway.

Try running metacity instead of compiz (under Appearance choose None). That's the only solution that has worked for me. You could also try using a different graphics card driver, if there is one...

This probably means that X is crashing. It's likely a problem with the graphics card driver.

There's a better solution. All I had to do was install the following two packages:

sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer

This should work assuming you have a BCM4306 (rev 3)...

My best solution is already posted in #20 of this thread. Changing desktop environments is a bigger sacrifice than giving up Conky, so I just don't use Conky anymore.



EDIT:
The following...

I tried out Openbox, but since it's just a window manager and not a desktop environment the desktop icons weren't displayed at all. Installing a separate desktop environment lead to its own issues. I...

Here's my ~/bin/aomx, which fixes the logout issue and the failure to switch to fullscreen under compiz for me on karmic + wine from git:

#!/bin/sh
cd "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program...

This happens to me consistently on my Acer Aspire 5735Z. I just remove the battery every time I reboot as a workaround.

The logging problem went away for me after a kernel update and reboot.

I was looking for the solution to this exact topic and didn't find it anywhere. I finally figured it out myself, so if anyone else is looking for it, here's the script:

#!/usr/bin/python

I'm having the same issue, except I'm only getting one message each second:

On the right-most corner of the top bar in Ubuntu your username is displayed. If you click it, it will allow you to change your status. This change applies to all IM clients: Empathy, Pidgin, Skype,...

I'd like to write a script that changes my status for me. However, the only way I know how to change my status is to use the Indicator Applet Session. Is there a way to change my status from the...

I haven't found a satisfying solution, though I have gotten it to work with the following settings:


own_window no
double_buffer no


These settings produce the desired behavior (see attached...

They didn't make a difference. My $HOME/.icons directory is empty anyway. My $HOME/.themes directory contains the Human theme I installed, but the symbolic link didn't fix the issue. What's...

I installed mailutils in Karmic Koala and have a number of scripts which use the following to send emails alerting me of events that require my attention:

I couldn't stand the new default theme in Lucid Lynx (Ambiance), so I installed Karmic Koala's theme (Human). Everything is working fine, but I noticed that processes running with root privileges...

That tells me how to allow guest to log in using the key, but I don't see how to restrict the key to only allow it to be used for logging in as guest. I'll still be able to use the key to log in as...

I set up SSH on a server running Ubuntu using rsa key authentication. I want to allow a friend of mine to log into the server with restricted access, so I created a user account named "guest" with...

This is the correct way to do it for grub-legacy, but it changed in Karmic Koala with the release of grub2. In grub2, you must edit the following file: /etc/default/grub
Add " i8042.reset" to the...

I might give openbox a try. Which settings did you use for conky to get it to allow icons to be placed over it and not flicker?

Those settings didn't work for me unless I set double_buffer to yes. However, when double_buffer is yes, all of my desktop icons vanish every time conky refreshes until I hover over them.

I also...

Thanks for your response, but I'm confused by how using PulseAudio will simplify my script. Based on what I gathered from reading over the page you linked the command "pulseaudio -nF...

I'm interested in writing a script that increases the volume linearly. Before Ubuntu 9.10 this was relatively simple. I could place "amixer set Master 1+" inside a loop which would iterate the...

Thanks for the suggestion, but I actually [surprisingly] found a better solution in this thread.

For my specific problem, it involved making the following change to /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober.
