Moun Update Manager broken?

[steve7233]

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'll stick with vinney's solution since it worked great where as Muon is obiously broken. Probably because it uses a wrapper. Maybe Muon's update script or something is bugged.

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

I am looking at this link now.

Muon uses APT for upgrades. Your APT configuration was broken before you used vinney's solution. When you used vinney's solution, you fixed APT, thereby also fixing Muon. Muon is not broken.

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

It did not work in fact now it won't get past the intial loading screen. I tried serveral things including its safe mode. I installed purge what is the command to run it and purge this thing?

Ok then It must be an intermitant bug that causes Muno to get messed up sometimes as Muno has failed to update before. Wether this is a bug in Muno or something in Percise that pops up every now and then i don't know. I'll just use apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-update whenever i see the upgrade icon.

witch one did you use ,,, the xorg-edgers or the oibaf ?

try this way:

sudo ppa-purge ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers

You get the "ppa:" address from the owner's launchpad page. I have found that sometimes ppa-purge does not like some of the url addresses, this format always seems to be understood.

It purged more than just this it also purged wine! After reinstalling wine i tried STO and found i was back to being able to log in but, the display was back to being to dark to play. At least I got things back the way they were. Now i can try something else. I found this doing a Google search: http://askubuntu.com/questions/56379...intel-graphics

[steve7233]

I ran:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates

and then

sudo apt-get install libtxc-dxtn

apt-get was unable to locate the package. Should i try the bleeding edge repository?

I found out I didn't have the full name it should have been libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0. It work after that now to test STO.

[vinnywright]

did you run a sudo apt-get update before the install attempt and after adding the x-swat PPA to refresh the package info?

VINNY

[HalationEffect]

The x-swat PPA doesn't have libtxc-dxtn, you'll need xorg-edgers for that.

he he O ya ,,,,,from the link YOU posted @steve7233

Using the external libtxc-dxtn library for S3TC compression. Mesa will attempt to load it if it exists, and provide full S3TC support. This is available in xorg-edgers, at least.
