No. I had no idea there was one.

**Spadge** · Oct 19, 2013, 06:09 AM

Code:

$ sudo ppa-purge xorg-edgers
PPA purged successfully

Right. Let's see what happens next ...

Thanks for the tip.

**Spadge** · Oct 19, 2013, 07:43 AM

Yep, that was it.

Thanks

Have you installed ppa-purge from muon (or sudo apt-get install ppa-purge)?

Thanks for your help... I know I'm getting closer to Upgrade

Now I get: ""

I guess my mess is even bigger...

**Spadge** · Oct 20, 2013, 01:58 AM

And xorg-edgers is in your list of sources/PPAs?

**steve7233** · Oct 25, 2013, 10:58 PM

That's weird my reply didn't show up so I will try to repost.

I have a similar problem but with a Intel Graphics driver -Ubuntu's version doesn’t work for the Intle GMA 45-.

steve7233@steve7233-HP-Pavilion-dv6-Notebook-PC:~$ sudo ppa-purge Intel Graphics drivers
Updating packages lists
PPA to be removed: Intel ppa
Warning: Could not find package list for PPA: Intel ppa

I could not remember the name of the package so I looked at my software sources and guessed. Did I get the name wrong or is it something else?

ppa-purge is a tool that uninstalls all packages from a PPA and also removes the PPA from your list of package sources.

In the context here, some people have had to purge the Xorg Edgers PPA, which is commonly used to provide a more up-to-date Xorg stack and set of video drivers. Do you know whether you're using this PPA?

**steve7233** · Oct 26, 2013, 12:43 AM

I was but I found out about an Intel driver that runs my Intel GMA 45 even better. It's the closed source diver where Ubuntu’s Intel driver is the open source which doesn’t work with every Intel GPU. I figured I was having the same problem since my GPU driver isn't an official Ubuntu package.

**SteveRiley** · Oct 26, 2013, 12:51 AM

You will need to check with whomever you obtained the driver from to determine if they've released a version for Saucy, then. Do you recall where you downloaded it?

It's the generic version of their driver. I don't know why this one works for me and the Ubuntu package does not. For some reason things just work better for me than with the Ubuntu version. For example Star Trek Online will not display correctly with the Ubuntu version. Team Fortress 2 will not display at all with the Ubuntu package in fact TF2 will not display with Xorg-Edgers either. I suspect Hewlett Packard Probably altered the Intel GMA 45 in this computer so that it uses their driver. It works just fine in Windows but Linux has difficulties. Typical arrogant computer manufacturers. They probably have a deal with Mico$oft.
