Hello guys. I am upgraded my Kubuntu from 10.04 to 10.10 yesterday. Everything went fine, but then I am found several troubles. I hope that I will find some help here.
- KMix doesn't remember volume or muted settings: Maverick now using Pulseaudio and I have in KMix only one volume scroll bar. But what is worst Kmix doesn't remember my setting after reboot what is very annoying for me because I have muted my speakers mostly due to using my laptop in school or meetings. - SOLVED: KMix --> Settings --> Configure KMix --> untick "Restore volumes on login".
- Trackpoint scrolling: I have ThinkPad T61 and in each new version of Kubuntu I fighting with this issue. In 10.04 it was possible solve by one configuration file, but it is not working in Maverick anymore. I am found nice application gpointing-device-settings which working fine, but only until reboot - then it is not working anymore.SOLVED: Exactly the same procedure like in Jaunty can be used, only change is that necessary file must be created in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ instead of /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/. Guide is here.
- KNetworkManager systray icon: network is working without problem but I missing KNM systray icon. It was disappeared and I can't switch between different network connections. SOLVED: Click with right mouse button on free space or arrow in systray, choose Settings --> Ulock widget --> choose requested icon or icons.
- Nasty Splash screen during boot: I have nVidia graphic card with proprietary drivers so I have had some quality issues with splash screen before too, but now it is much worse. My Splash is only blue screen with very simple text "Kubuntu 10.10. Beyond I can see starting services on screen too, what is disturbing. - SOLVED: Configuration commands for GRUB2 here. Right configuration see below:
Code:
kdesudo kate /etc/default/grub GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 # Resolution set according to your needs, but NOT all of them will be working correctly. GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
