Don't like kernel 2.6.27-5-generic

[aged hippy]

Re: Don't like kernel 2.6.27-5-generic

For those who may be affected, i just up-dated ~30Mb, a lot seemed to be kde-desktop (or similar) and i noticed that at one point it read: ..."compiz replaced"....
This may be good news.

But even after a re-boot, everything was still dreadfully slow in starting.

Edited to add:

I forgot to mention, i tried to change the wallpaper, but got a lock-up when i tried to apply another, which refused to be applied....

Re: Don't like kernel 2.6.27-5-generic

I had to re-install my video driver and sound driver after yesterday's updates -- you might want to try that for those KDM/KDE problems.

Re: Don't like kernel 2.6.27-5-generic

My video and sound drivers are generic so nothing fancy there.

What I can't get my brain around is this bit (example) for non-kde apps:

fintan1@fintanws2:~$ thunderbird
Cannot mix incompatible Qt libraries
Aborted (core dumped)
fintan1@fintanws2:~$

Whoa!

I don't run T-bird. VMware Player and Firefox don't do any such thing, however.

Another day anothers upgrades:

kdebase-runtime 4:4.1.2-0ubuntu3
kdebase-runtime-bin-kde4 4:4.1.2-0ubuntu3
kdebase-runtime-data-common 4:4.1.2-0ubuntu3
kdebase-runtime-data 4:4.1.2-0ubuntu3
+
110 M updates

Are these helping ?

Aborted (core dumped)

Do you get more information if you launch: apport/apport-qt

apport

automatically generate crash reports for debugging
apport automatically collects data from crashed processes and
compiles a problem report in /var/crash/. This utilizes the crashdump
helper hook provided by the Ubuntu kernel.

apport-qt

Qt4 frontend for the apport crash report system

After "White Screen of Death" I: Alt + F2 and /usr/share/apport/apport-qt => Information to the Bug report.

Re: Don't like kernel 2.6.27-5-generic

Can this new kernel be causing my extreme screen flickering? It wasn't really all that bad until the more recent kernels and the display card is Intel. I wonder. I might try Ubuntu to see if it does the same.

Re: Don't like kernel 2.6.27-5-generic

I just installed intrepid from:
http://www.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu...nstaller/i386/
on another partition. FF and TB, etc work okay.

On my "old" updated II I still get this

fintan1@fintanws2:~$ thunderbird
Cannot mix incompatible Qt libraries
Aborted (core dumped)
fintan1@fintanws2:~$

for FF and any other non-kde app.


I saw new upgrades:

The following NEW packages will be installed:
linux-headers-2.6.27-6 linux-headers-2.6.27-6-generic
linux-image-2.6.27-6-generic linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-6-generic
The following packages will be upgraded:
apport apport-qt binutils binutils-static dbus dbus-x11 initscripts
libdbus-1-3 libenchant1c2a libpq5 libvolume-id0 linux-generic
linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic linux-restricted-modules-common
linux-restricted-modules-generic python-apport python-problem-report sysv-rc
sysvinit-utils udev ufw update-notifier-kde

will try that on my "old" II and see what happens

Re: Don't like kernel 2.6.27-5-generic

You don't have any "extra" repositories in your sources, do you Fintan? It's odd that "incompatible libraries" would have been somehow installed -- almost sounds like a package manager problem, doesn't it?

Apart from the medibuntu stuuf, no I don't think so.

Nightly doesnt effect kubuntu at all and the rest seem legit



The net-boot beta is running fine, but I won't be updating that for a bit, maybe after final.

Playing with "old" and see what happens.

That's a Hardy repo -- I dunno, could it cause a problem with Intrepid?

[Fintan]

Re: Don't like kernel 2.6.27-5-generic

I don't thnk so. it is the repos for the neon nightly kde4 svn (now kde4.2) and installs into a different place (can't remember right now) and sets up a .kde-neon in /home/username so it shouldn't affect intrepid. At least it hasn't until yesterday.

Sorry Rog:

/usr/share/apport/apport-qt

gives me:
Could not find the program 'apport-qt'

[Fintan]

Re: Don't like kernel 2.6.27-5-generic

Okay I started:

 /usr/share/apport/apport-qt

from a terminal and get this:

fintan1@fintanws2:~$ /usr/share/apport/apport-qt
Cannot mix incompatible Qt libraries
Aborted (core dumped)
fintan1@fintanws2:~$

Re: Don't like kernel 2.6.27-5-generic

I'm getting apport-qt crashes this morning (twice, so far). The last time, it reported knetwork manager crashed, then apport-qt itself crashed. But my system seems to be holding together.
