On Karmic Now But With A Few Hiccups

[randytan]

By the way, the included Firefox version now works WAY better than the one in Jaunty.

My current complaint about Karmic is that it takes forever to start up!

In fairness to the Koala though, it works a whole lot faster than the previous versions and has a lot of enhancements.

that's odd, mine loads fast

Yeah my old laptop is actually fast.

Speed wise after start up, I can't complain. It is really fast.

It's the speed at start up after I hit the on button is what is slow until after you input the password. Then it's wait a while longer, then I'm in.

Like I mentioned above, after all this drama, works fast again.

Currently the best release ever, it also fixes my laptop issues, but my Smartbro ZTE mf622 plug it no longer works. So i switched back.

Tweaked compiz a little bit, worked a little faster. I actually played around with the refresh rate. certainly works faster now.

I still have one problem. I still can't install the linux version of Heroes of Newerth. Its giving me all sorts of errors especially the script. I guess I'm giving up on it for now. I can still run the regular DOTA anyway.

Tried Opera 10.10 server capability. Makes it a lot easier to set up a web server by merely subscribing to Opera Unite. Also I can make a steaming server out of that. And also pictures btw. But its really no big deal.

That's weird, when I check with Skype, it says no devices found.

sa network manager ng 9.04 yun ang hiccups ko na di ako pinatulog eto kaya 9.10 wala na problema sa ics?. gusto kong subokan pero may bugs daw sa ipmasq so cguro hintay na lang muna ako next release nila.. so far sa laptop at workstation ko ok pa naman after the clean install wala pa namang problema na-encounter sa slowdown at bugs.. bilis ng boot at shutdown..

Using Karmic 64bit here.

May bug talaga ang 64bit 9.10 it would say that ECC modole of the system was not loaded and the system is unstable.

I have informed the developers via approot, turns out that this is a HIGH instance bug.

******
As for your camer try the following
( I assume that you use your camera for skype)

If you are running 32bit
Go to terminal
$ sudo gedit /usr/local/bin/skype

then copy paste the following
#!/bin/bash
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/skype

press the save icon, close the gedit window and go back to the original terminal where u did gedit

write
$ sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/skype

I hope this helped

I was having problems with my webcam as well.
Your fix for the Acer Orbicam 046d:0896 worked like a charm! My webcam worked with Cheese but not with Skype. I was getting strange green lines and image ghosting. Tried your fix and now my webcam works great with Skype. Thanks!
