Moun Update Manager broken?

[steve7233]

I was playing Star Trek Online via Winblow$ for a few weeks since STO won't display right using Kubuntu - I suspect its the video driver you use for Precise -. I decided to boot into kubuntu to see if you had updated your driver. Moun said there was an update to Apparmor so I figured it was a good idea to update however the update failed!:

I really want to like Muon with all its components but it repeatedly botches updates and upgrades. For searching, installing and uninstalling software. I think its gorgeous, simple and really powerful but don't use it to update/upgrade.

sudo apt-get refresh && sudo apt-get upgrade

has always been the best way to update.

[vinnywright]

I actually prefer this way

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Thanks for reminding me vinney. I guess Muno isn't very good. you would think they would fix Muno after all the negative complaints about it not working right. After all this is open source not Winblow$.

When I used
Code:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

It updated a lot more than just Apparmor. I think I will try running STO again to see if it displays right now.

I am going to switch to Winbow$ since STO still won't display right. I guess I need the pepriatary video driver if anyone ever tells me where to get it.

You can use Jockey to install the proprietary drivers for you graphics card.
Kmenu -> Applications -> System -> Additional Drivers

If you don't find it there you might need to install it: sudo apt-get install jockey-kde

[dmeyer]

My bad! I meant "update" not "refresh". I largely use openSUSE nowadays so it is:

sudo zypper refresh && sudo zypper update

By the way, if you install the proprietary drivers, don't forget to first install all the kernel headers! This is a great guide for nvidia: http://dragly.org/2012/05/04/install...kubuntu-12-04/ Note though that this works on 12.04 and 12.10.

If I recall correctly, your computer uses Intel integrated graphics... in which case the open-source driver (which will have automatically been installed) is the official driver.

Unlike Nvidia and AMD (ATI) there is no proprietary 'binary blob' driver for Intel.

[vinnywright]

if you are using a newer Intel GPU you may/maynot want to check out this PPA http://ppa.launchpad.net/oibaf/graphics-drivers/ubuntu , it gave me a bit of a boost on a Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) in my core i3 processor .

you should add ppa-purge first so you can more or less easily revert the changes though if it dosent help or makes things worse

He might need to enable S3TC support. That often fixes a lot of issues with Intel integrated graphics.

some info on how and what that is may be helpful

Muon and APT rely on the same core library for package management and dependency resolution: libapt-pkg. But whereas apt-get talks directly to libapt-pkg, Muon relies on the intermediary QApt framework, which is simply a Qt wrapper around libapt-pkg. Muon performs exactly and only whatever operations you tell it to, and it uses the exact same logic as apt-get.

I got S3TC (S3 texture compression) support on my Sandybridge Intel HD graphics from using the Xorg Edgers PPA.
