[Bug 1657678] [NEW] compiz

2017-01-19 Thread jesse van dam
Public bug reported:

When trying to switch to dual screen mode, compiz start to use 100% cpu
and screen go to black. The mouse cursor is still visible and the screen
are in the correct xrandr config. When I do xrandr config using the
xrandr commands, the scaling becomes incorrect, although the unity bar
is in the correct scaling. A method to go around this bug is to login
with the second screen unplugged. Go to the screen setting config.
Plugin the second monitor, which will be in off mode. Then click detect
displays and enable second screen in mirror mode. Apply and keep this
settings and the next step click detect displays and then disable mirror
mode and select the dual screen config and apply it.

For extra info (the internal screen is connected to the intel card
wheras the HDMI port is connected to the nvidia card)

[Bug 1080701] Re: After 'Preparing to install Ubuntu' screen, raring installation hangs

2013-03-27 Thread jesse van dam
I had the same problem. i removed all the partitions using the ubuntu
disk utility and then did

 fdisk /dev/sda1

Then i got the following message

Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF 
disklabel
Building a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0x6a2a4941.
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable.

Warning: invalid flag 0x of partition table 4 will be corrected by
w(rite)

Then i did write by typing w

After that the problem was gone for me

[Bug 1081245] Re: Ubuntu 13.04 Live-CD Installer hangs

2013-03-27 Thread jesse van dam
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1080701 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1080701

I fixed the problem by doing the following. Solution works only if you
want to complete override a disk. Please fill in the proper device of
the harddisk to which you want to install ubuntu

sudo parted /dev/sda
mktable
#fill in gpt
#say yes
mkpart ext2 0 10 
#ignore any performce warning since will overwritten anyhow
mkpart ext4 10 100%
set 1 bios_grub on
quit

and now start the installer and it should install.

Another note. If you get an error message like partition table is
incorrect after reboot you have to go into your bios and select/create
a/the uefi boot option.
