[Bug 1160533] Re: The error occured short (1-2 Min.) after booting, I did not run libreoffice at all.

2013-03-27 Thread EricW
This is a small packaging problem. To get rid of the error you can safely remove libreoffice-emailmerge with dpkg (it is a transitional package, which means that it contains nothing, as it is now integrated in libreoffice-common package). After this, reinstall libreoffice-common with synaptic or

Hi, This is just a guess, but according to this mailing list post: http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0903.0/5.html the firmware files downloaded from gitweb are getting corrupted due to a bug in gitweb. The correct agere_sta_fw.bin is 65046 bytes long. The corrupted

Hi, I have this problem too. Sony PCG-FX340 laptop with Intel i815 1024x767 display, but 800x600 is used by default and I can't set it any higher. Previous versions of ubuntu and debian, before the new xorg autodetection changes, corectly picked 1024x768. To be precise, I'm running debian

I find this annoying as well. My monitor is a 17 inch samsung SyncMaster 700NF, and Ubuntu (up to Feisty Herd 3) starts at [EMAIL PROTECTED] What it currently does (at least with my monitor) is pick the highest possible resolution at 60hz. A decent algorithm for CRT's would be to choose the

Hi, you should file a separate bug report, as the problem you are having is different (this one doesn't have a cursor in the corner) and this bug seems to have been fixed in feisty. Eric On 2/14/07, rsampaio [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Same error on my machine. I try to load the latest feisty

It doesn't seem to work for me. I upgraded my edgy to feisty, (I now have xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.6.2-0ubuntu6) and I still get the same symptoms (freeze when agp speed set to 8x in BIOS and DRI enabled in xorg.conf, no freeze if DRI disabled or AGP speed set to auto in BIOS). I'll try again

Quash: so the new package fixes it for you? Did you try it with the bios speed set to 8x, dri enabled, and no Option AGPMode 8 in xorg.conf? (which would have gaurnteed a freeze before, right) Just curious because my preliminary test of the new package didn't fix it, but of course it could have

Monika, I'm curious if you would also be able to get it working if, when editing xorg.conf, you leave the driver set to 'ati' but just disable dri. (well, the setting of 'glx' didn't matter for me) Or, if by chance your bios AGP speed is forced to 8x, try setting it to auto or 4x? (- then the
