Thanks for the gdm tip

My main issue in 11.10 is that after it boots I have to close and reopen the lid twice for anything to show up on the monitor. But I guess I can live with that.

And when...

I tried upgrading my moodle site to moodle 2.1, but was surprised to see that it now requires PHP 5.3.2 at least, and that my ubuntu server still only has PHP 5.2 (I'm still on 10.10 ubuntu server)....

Any solution to fixing the upside down video in google talk / gmail ?

The webcamWrapper fixes it for Skype and other tools, but not gmail. I saw the earlier explanation that Chrome/Chromium and...

metacity replace or unsetting compiz didn't work for me, although it did crash the desktop

Now chrome is hanging up all the time, too. It freezes anytime you do something that pops up or closes a...

Also, even with the fixes to the card (I got nvidia disabled before, now using the bumblebee script), none of the compiz stuff works in 11.04 natty, including unity.

There seems to be (yet)...

Even with bumblebee installed in 11.04 though, I don't see any option to enable compiz. There seems to be an nvidia bug in general with enabling compiz.
I tried the command line tool that is...

I installed bumblebee but compiz and so forth still don't work due to other nvidia bugs. And if you try the ubuntu-bugs command line tool that you are supposed to use to report bugs now, it won't...

And I can't even report this bug, since the new command line tool we are forced to use to report bugs won't accept the bug report. That pisses me off more than the actual bugs, and also the fact...

I see this issue, too, I don't see any option anymore to enable compiz.

I just installed bumblebee which allows nvidia optimus cards to work again:

The gnome3 ppa doesn't work for me.

My laptop was still hanging everytime I went to shutdown.

I'm not sure if this is the fix (haven't tried shutting down yet :), but there is a little typo in chadmerkert's script in the part that...

Really appreciate your help and scripts.
It's working now using nomodeset the first time I booted as you suggested.
And rotating works, along with xournal for note taking and gimp w/pressure...

It's still not booting, even in recovery mode, and even with various flags like nomodeset

First I found the error message:


and I added some things to blacklist.conf

but now I keep getting...

Yeah I have the same issue and still haven't solved it, but there might be 3 possible solutions:


-blacklist the i915 graphics driver (see thread linked to at bottom of this note)
-use the new...

yeah those are all in the recommendations and they didn't work for me

I found some folks who have gotten it installed and working on a tm2t, so I'll just see if I can find out how they did it

How did you get 11.04 installed and running on the tm2t?

The installer just hangs for me. So I installed 10.10 and upgraded to 11.04 and that worked, but I just get a blank screen on boot after...

Thanks, Well I installed 10.10 and then upgraded to 11.04 and now I just get a blank screen on boot after grub.

I tried all the recommendations here and nothing worked:...

Same here, none of the shortcuts (control-alt-f1 to get to text login) or boot options (like nomodeset and so forth) work. I just get a blank screen after the grub stage.

I didn't get a blank...

I can boot up 11.04 amd64 to an sd card, and in the early alphas I could install it fine. Older versions of ubuntu install fine (10.10), too.

But since about beta 1 or so of 11.04 (and with the...

HP Touchsmart TM2T

and the

Asus N61 series (N61jv)

Numerous issues with both because of the dual graphics cards (the first one ATI/Intel, the second one Nvidia Optimus/Intel).

Like:

Thanks, yeah, I'm going to backup the recovery partition and use that to install ubuntu (after shrinking the windows partition and expanding the recovery partition using the partition editor)
...

I got a laptop that I'd like to install Ubuntu on (I've done this numerous times before). But this one already has 4 partitions on it, and the Ubuntu installer complained that you can't have more...

Thanks, I used these tips to turn off the nvidia optimus card (gt 325m) in my asus n61j series (n61jv) laptop, too.

I haven't found a solution, but I have found that others are having related serious problems with the 2.6.35-25 kernel:
