[Bug 154581] Re: network-manager-kde say 'no active devices'
This just happened to us with Kubuntu Hardy. An update last weekend knocked out KNetworkManager. Was working with system files on mine when it happened and thought I'd killed my box and re-installed from the cd. When it showed up on my dads box, knew there had to be something hanky. Ifconfig wouldn't auto initiate. Ifconfig could be forced to turn on networking, but the network manager refused to go online. And of course, with that happening, nothing went online. I did this which was posted by "opm8": 1) Comment out all but the following from your /etc/network/interfaces: auto lo iface lo inet loopback 2) Add the user to the netdev group: sudo adduser your_username netdev ; and now it's working again. I didn't catch which updates were done, but remember them having to do with networking.

[Bug 271070] Re: "Aperture beyond 4GB. Ignoring." message when booting
I agree with Zemir. My box never did do well with Intrepid. Turns out, my ACPI is partially non-functional including the temp sensor array. I ended up grabbing the temps directly from the junctions to keep things cool in Hardy. Couldn't get anywhere with it using Intrepid. Jaunty must have a much better detection as it had no problems telling what kind of hardware I have. As for the temps in Jaunty, all I had to do was pull up the temperature icon and switch the input method for gathering temperature and the fans kicked in. I have found some hickups in Jaunty, but they are far fewer and less hair pulling than Intrepid. Although, it is give and take as to whether Jaunty runs better than Hardy.

[Bug 271070] Re: "Aperture beyond 4GB. Ignoring." message when booting
Please forgive my complete stupidity. Nearly everything I've posted has been taken care of. Please read on. Number one, the boot script, "Aperture beyond 4gb. Ignoring." is simply describing a function which is being implemented during boot. As for most of the rest of the difficulties I've been experiencing have stemmed from install. At install, all of the eye candy was turned on by default. I have turned them off, and am now running with great stability = satisfaction baby! The eye candy was easily changed under "System Setting --> Desktop --> Desktop Effects" Since doing that, I've not even had a single icon disappear. I'm sure the rest of the little hickupy things will follow with future updates. Again, I surely do apologise for all of anybody else's time that I've wasted. (Really kickin' myself in the bootay so that you don't have to.) If there is a way to strike all of my posts, the web-masters definitely have my permission, as it is quite embarrassing to have so much ignorance coming from one person.

[Bug 271070] Re: "Aperture beyond 4GB. Ignoring." message when booting
Well, I've asked permission to print my brother's specs and am waiting for a reply, but here is what I've done. I've re-installed Intrepid again, and have taken notes the whole way. First off, the JJ.zip file attached has a bunch of entries. Most of them have this same command set: uname -a dmesg sudo lspci -vvnn Break-- My computer specs are: AMD Phenom 9500 quad-core processor that runs at 2.2Ghz on a MCP61PM-GM AM2 Motherboard made by ECS, 3GB RAM that is rated 667Mhz, a 500GB SATA II hard drive, it has NVidia 6150 onboard video GPU clocked at 400Mhz however I have installed an NVidia 7600GS "GO" PCIe x16 card with a GPU clocked at 560 Mhz and 512MB RAM clocked at 400Mhz, and it has a generic DVD RW w/ LabelFlash. If more detail is needed, I'll get it if I can. End Break-- Now, back to the zipped text files attached. The first one I put together is called "myhardwareishardy.txt", and that one gives the run down on the Hardy installation. The second file is "myhardwareisintrepidpreupdate.txt" which was written right after the re-boot which was done right after the Intrepid installation, and before I did any updates. The third file is "myhardwareisintrepidpostupdate.txt" which was written right after the reboot from the update. After rebooting from the first update, I lost internet connection. I did some simple checking to make sure the LAN was up (it was). I tried connecting a USB/Ethernet Device but still no connection. I then powered completely down (hard boot, not soft) then brought the system back up with the USB Device still attached. When the system came up, the KNetworkManager icon was missing and the USB Device was working (not the onboard Ethernet). I installed the NVidia Driver 177.xx and did a reboot. The onboard Ethernet started working again, so I removed the USB Device, still no KNetworManager Icon. The fourth file is "KMixcrashNVidiaInstall.txt" and it was taken from a crash report window that came up during the NVidia Driver install. The KMix manager was still operational and the startup/shutdown audio clips never failed. (Funny thing about that, every time I boot up the intro seems to be snubbed, does that happen to anybody else?) I installed the KDE Official suite then did a reboot. The KNetworkManager Icon has come back. I installed the repository for Medibuntu, and installed Firefox with its counterparts and the KUbuntu Extras. I grabbed Adobe Flash 10 but did not yet install. I rebooted first to make sure the prior two groups had made everything complete. After rebooting, the GUI froze, so I got a reading and the fifth file is called "guifreeze.txt". I then finished the Adobe install from prompt and rebooted again to clean the slate (and get the GUI back). After thought, perhaps I should have tried using the "/etc/init.d/kdm stop and start" to see what would happen. After rebooting, I went to an online game that I would like to see working properly, "RuneScape", and sure enough, I have to keep wiggling the mouse over the frame to keep it running. It's like having a hand crank for your monitor, lol. After having tried the game, I made the last file, "myhardwareisintrepidwhendone.txt". I didn't lose the Desktop panel this round, but some of the other icons in the bottom panel did lose part or all of their picture (some were partially overlapped as well). Wholly Smokes, I think I've written a novel. Oh well, I hope this helps the developers in looking for bugs to eradicate. If there is any more you would like me to do, let me know. Turn circles, sit on my hands, hire a technician (don't think so), get some sleep ( Ooh, that one sounds good!! ). Good night, and good luck. Melondrift 8-) P.S. My humor goes somewhat awry when I've been awake this long. ** Attachment added: "Diary of a Mad Somethingerother" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20414871/jovialjaguar.zip -- "Aperture beyond 4GB.

[Bug 271070] Re: "Aperture beyond 4GB. Ignoring." message when booting
I have a gateway GT5674, it has an AMD 9500 Quad 2.2Ghz processor, onboard NVidia 6150SE (I've installed NVidia 7600GS 512M PCIe card hoping it would fix problems with Intrepid, nope, same problems exist with both), 3Gigs Ram. I've since wiped Intrepid from my computer and am using the Hardy 64Bit install with ZERO problems. Intrepid was giving me the same message during boot, "aperture beyond 4G... ignoring". Using the Vesa driver, it would boot, but about 50% of the time I would have to jog the screen size to get the GUI to show up (by pressing the "ctrl-alt-[+or-]" keys). The Desktop panel, widgets, icons and control panel would intermittently discolor, disappear and/or become unfunctional. Video was very glitchy, and online games would freeze unless I kept moving the mouse pointer over the frame making real-time play exasperating. Installing the proprietary video driver (I've tried using the 173.xx and 177.xx NVidia drivers) helps somewhat (I no longer had to jog the screen size to see the GUI), but only delays the inevitable. My youngest brother is a fan of Microsoft, and while visiting last week he had a good laugh when I went to look something up for him, and lost control of the computer before the web browser had time to load (my computer was already on, so no, I wasn't speed clicking my way to the internet). I've been through a plethera of forums on this subject, and nobody really seems to know what the problem/problems are. I've tried several things, like messing with Xorg.conf, installing different software packages and the like, but if any of that did help, it wasn't enough to really notice. Intrepid is a beautiful operating system, and I wish like crazy that I could use it on my computer. Until the bugs are fixed, I'll just use the Hardy. Hardy even seems to load, run and do things faster, if that makes any sense. If there is somebody who wishes me to re-install Intreped again to grab specs and code for comparison, I will. Perhaps there is something there that could help. Just let me know what to do, and I'll do it. Please remember though, I have only been using Linux for a little over 2 years, so I'm still quite noobish at it. Funny thing, my older brother is running Intrepid on his machine, and he says that he doesn't have any issues whatsoever with his install. Bizarre 8-P (Yes, I use the MD5Sum to check the integrity of all .iso images before committing them to disk.) I have nearly a dozen successful Linux installs covering a variety of hardware, so I'm not completely Linux illiterate (I am kinda dissed still that the guys pulled the repositories for Feisty, 'cause I have an old frame that runs best on Feisty. Well, that's another story all-together, isn't it.) I'll get the complete hardware specs for my brothers and my computer and post them, perhaps something will jump out.

[Bug 275285] Re: [intrepid] Flash, VirtualBox, Dosbox etc. video freezes after few seconds
I thought of some other stuff to try. I turned off the NVidia proprietary driver and reconfigured XOrg to Vesa. Now, I have good video, but in small window only. When I try to access large window I lose all video and audio. (2.2Ghz AMD 9500 Quad Core, 3Gigs 677Mhz Ram, Nvidia 7600 GS PCIE with 512Megs Ram - this system should have absolutely no problem with audio/video.) With Vesa in control, I tried the option posted way up there with the framebuffer modification and it did nothing to change the video problem. That sent me on another path, video drivers. It turns out that the Hardy install is using NVidia's 173.xx driver and Intrepid is using the 177.xx driver. Ahaa!! (The monkey said to the scientist.) I went back to Intrepid and installed the 173.xx NVidia driver. Now, intrepid glitches more often and freezes faster than ever. Also, the widgets and icons are disappearing again. Ugh. (If only, if only, the woodpecker sighed. The bark on the tree was as soft as the sky.) I'll try again in a couple months, but apparently the Intrepid is still a little too young for me. -- [intrepid] Flash, VirtualBox, Dosbox etc. video freezes after few seconds https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/275285 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 275285] Re: [intrepid] Flash, VirtualBox, Dosbox etc. video freezes after few seconds
Well, the Java files were so thrashed by the time I was done tinkering, I did a complete re-install. Still having same problems. I found a flash handler that has fixed the YouTube glitch, it is as follows (I found these instructions on another website): wget http://queleimporta.com/downloads/flash10_en.sh sudo bash ./flash10_en.sh I also tried adding a cache handler add-on to Firefox hoping it would help with RuneScape, but it didn't. That one is called, "BetterCache". I'm done trying to figure this one out. It also seems that Firefox on Intrepid doesn't recognize some of the web address code from "RuneScape" either. I have yet to be able to get Java running in Konqueror also. It seems to start to initialize the Java Applet and it states at the bottom that the applet is running, however there is no video or audio from the Java app. Ive tried giving Java all available rights (including putting the pertinent web addresses in both of the account lists as "accept") through the Configure Konqueror editor, but nothing seems to help. I guess I'll just stick with KDE Hardy for now, as everything is working there. Oh, another thing, the icons at the bottom right of the screen that show background processes and apps, have a habit of being replaced by a dark blue box. They still work, but you cannot see what they are. I don't really want to downgrade the system to a 32bit when the 64bit Hardy is working. -- [intrepid] Flash, VirtualBox, Dosbox etc. video freezes after few seconds https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/275285 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 275285] Re: [intrepid] Flash, VirtualBox, Dosbox etc. video freezes after few seconds
The Hardy install is OpenJDK all the way. No matter what I try, I cannot get Intrepid to assume the same configuration. Yes, the Hardy install is also 64bit. Now, I'll try downgrading the Intrepid install to a 32bit version to see if that helps any. I'll post again when I've finished with that. Side Note: The YouTube video playback is better with the new card, now I'm running into the same problem that my dad has with his Hardy install, that the video plays 5 to 10 seconds and does a double frame. Kind of like the video is playing too slow or the audio is play too fast and has to re-sync every so often to catch up. Oi, just thought of something else to try, will post back if it works, whatever I do. -- [intrepid] Flash, VirtualBox, Dosbox etc. video freezes after few seconds https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/275285 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 275285] Re: [intrepid] Flash, VirtualBox, Dosbox etc. video freezes after few seconds
Ugh!! I am such a stumble-bum, please forgive me. I also forgot to say that the upgrade to the 7600 GS does seem to fix a problem I was having with the widgets disappearing. That was pretty cool, cause I'd be doing something, close an app and watch the widgets flicker (not synchronous, but more like christmas lights flickering on and off in seemingly random order) and then one or more would disappear not to come back until next boot. Hmm, Java doesn't work in Konqueror at all. - java -version java version "1.6.0_0" IcedTea6 1.3.1 (6b12-0ubuntu6) Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_0-b12) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.6.0_0-b12, mixed mode) - Is this a bad configuration? I'll look to see what the install looks like on the Hardy side.

Oh, I am running 64bit install, of course. A couple other things I've noticed, sometime the web pages don't load the first time you enter them, and about half of the time when the screen saver activates, it is only visible over the desktop panel area while the rest of the screen is white.

[Bug 275285] Re: [intrepid] Flash, VirtualBox, Dosbox etc. video freezes after few seconds
Hi all, I have had a problem very similar to the one posted here. I have a Gateway GT5674 with AMD 9500 2.2Ghz Quad Core, Nvidia 6150 SE integrated graphics, and 3Gb RAM. I started off using Hardy on this machine (still installed) and everything is working beautifully there. I split my 500Gb HD in half and then made my system to be dual O.S. after the Intrepid official release. Intrepid is very nice. Me likey 8-) However, one of the game places I visit is RuneScape which uses Java. The game will play video for about 3 to 5 seconds then freeze frame while still playing the audio for about 10 seconds, then the video will start again. If I jiggle the cursor over the video, it will start playing sooner, then freeze again after about 3 to 5 seconds. On occasion it freezes as soon as I stop moving the cursor. I know that YouTube also uses Java, so I went there, and the audio plays just fine, but the video is a little glitchy about ever 3 to 5 seconds. I checked out my hardware to see if everything was in order. I used the lshw command, and it seemed that RAM was being slowed down to be in sync with the integrated GPU (from 677 down to 4?? don't remember exactly). Anyhow, I got a video card and am now running an Nvidia 7600 GS 512Mb RAM EIDE card thinking that this would do the trick. Well, a little driver wrangling, the new card is installed as well as the driver, and the hardware listings are showing some promising results. To make a long story a little less long, I'm still glitching every 3 to 5 seconds although the duration of the glitches has decreased somewhat. If you'd like more information about my installs, let me know. Before I go, Super Tux Kart was very glitchy before the hardware upgrade, now it is only slightly noticeable. Extreme Tux Racer on the other hand was has had no problems before or after the hardware change, and that little birdy sure can fly!! -- [intrepid] Flash, VirtualBox, Dosbox etc. video freezes after few seconds https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/275285 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
