[Bug 41301] Re: Mouse clicks stop working sporadically

2009-12-01 Thread TaxAlien
I agree with Jethro_UK, this is really a showstopper for using ubuntu as
a desktop replacement. I can see the exact same problem as he does, but
I have some reservations about somethings:

In my experience, using a xterm session, mount appears to be responsive
and I can't make mouse button events disappear as they are so easily
doing when on a gnome desktop.

I can also say that I previously used Gentoo with a KDE desktop and
there a very similar problem occurred whereby mouse click events would
completely stop. After quite some frustration I found that the only way
to resolve that (save logging out/in again) was to alt-ctrl to console
terminal and then back to windows and then use alt-next to flip windows.
Then mouse clicks started registering again.

Initially I have to say that my experience on Gentoo was the worst, but
at least there it was something you could work yourself out of, here now
on Ubuntu the issue that the desktop feels sluggish and unresponsive. A
bit like having to deal with someone who is deaf or can't understand
what you are saying. Needless to say, if you have any streak of
impatience in you then this is not going to make you hang around for
long.

So, is there any commonality between KDE/Gnome which could explain this
behaviour, which I feel cannot be seen on a straight "window manager
less" environment. I'm going to swap over to window manager less for a
while to see if the behaviour reappears. Could it be a specific
application. I use amarok, could that be it?

[Bug 474917] Re: nvidia drivers 185.xx compile into kernel 2.6.28 instead of 2.6.31 on update from jaunty to karmic

2009-11-26 Thread TaxAlien
@Alberto Milone: well you can't do that because it is not a genuine
ubuntu package, so I am not sure how to proceed with it. I am not
familiar to the Ubuntu defect process and trying to raise something
directly on the website doesn't work.

Anyhow, the issue I posted appears to be the cause of the issues people
have to getting Nvidia (and probably other graphics cards) up and
running again.

[Bug 474917] Re: nvidia drivers 185.xx compile into kernel 2.6.28 instead of 2.6.31 on update from jaunty to karmic

2009-11-14 Thread TaxAlien
I think this is the problem with Nvidia during an upgrade to 9.10 from a
previous version:

libxine1-bin:
 Depends: nvidia-185-libvdpau but it is not going to be installed

This is preventing an upgrade or reinstall of Nvidia properly, because
nvidia-185-libvdpau won't be removed with all the other dependencies the
libxine1-bin will generate (amarok etc...).

Is this an erroneous dependency?
