| joep-153 | Hi folks. I hope you can help. I have a Dell Latitude D620 laptop (2GB ram, 2MHz processor, dual core) with no apparent hardware issues. I was able to install Ubuntu 14.04, but after installing the updates, the log in process halts. Are any of you aware of problems like this? | 14:03 |
|---|---|---|
| joep-153 | I also tried to install Kubuntu 14.04 . The install halted shortly after getting a graphical screen and would not continue. | 14:05 |
| penguin42 | joep-153: When you say that the 'the login process halts' what is the last thing that happens? | 14:05 |
| joep-153 | I enter my password, push enter, then the screen goes blank | 14:06 |
| joep-153 | I should add that I'm adding a linux version to an already existing winxp pro on the same disk. I shrank the winxp partition with gparted-live | 14:07 |
| penguin42 | yeh that should all work | 14:09 |
| joep-153 | there have been a couple of errors during the boot process. one is a message that the drive for cryptswapper is not ready or not present | 14:09 |
| joep-153 | it is something in the updates that caused the problem. i don't know which update, though. i let them all be installed | 14:11 |
| joep-153 | I also installed the NVidia proprietary driver. | 14:12 |
| joep-153 | the other error is "error calling EVIOCSKEYCODE" | 14:15 |
| joep-153 | that error is displayed during boot | 14:16 |
| joep-153 | I tried booting with the original kernel (3.16.0-30), but the same problem occurs. | 14:24 |
| joep-153 | BTW, the log-in failure after updates occurs with both the 64 and 32 bit .iso | 14:28 |
| penguin42 | joep-153: Have you tried without the nvidia proprietary driver? | 14:29 |
| joep-153 | i'll try that, but i'm going to do a re-install. I know the free driver worked, but I don't recall if i had done the updates at that point. | 14:31 |
| joep-153 | i'll also try leaving my home directory unencrypted | 14:31 |
| penguin42 | joep-153: There also tend to be 2 or 3 versions of the nvidia closed drivers available; try the other versions | 14:32 |
| joep-153 | i'll do that. thanks for the suggestions | 14:34 |

| BarnOwl | After re-installing Ubuntu, I found that my blank screen issue was due to using the latest NVidia proprietary driver. | 17:25 |
| BarnOwl | thanks | 17:25 |
| martijnbb22 | Hey guys. I want to report a bug, but I have no idea which package it belongs to (yes, I've read ReportingBugs). | 21:09 |
| martijnbb22 | And I've heard a picture says more than a thousand words, so here we go: | 21:09 |
| martijnbb22 | http://i.imgur.com/fdcUxSb.jpg | 21:09 |
| martijnbb22 | This is my desktop, with Libreoffice open | 21:09 |
| martijnbb22 | Well, it's supposed to be anyway | 21:09 |
| martijnbb22 | After looking really really carefully, I discoverd it at the right side of my screen.. | 21:09 |
| martijnbb22 | http://i.imgur.com/BGew1eV.png | 21:10 |
| martijnbb22 | I've spent 10 minutes trying to get Libreoffice to show up, so I consider this a bug: I window (at the very least of the default Ubuntu applications) should not be able to shrink to this size. | 21:12 |
| martijnbb22 | *A window | 21:12 |
| martijnbb22 | Sooo.. which package should I report this to? | 21:13 |
| roadmr | martijnbb22: don't overthink it too much, file it in libreoffice and if it belongs elsewhere, a triager will move it to the proper place | 21:13 |
| roadmr | martijnbb22: if you haven't noticed it with anything but libreoffice, it's a fair bet that's a good place for it. If you've seen it with other applications, it may belong in unity, compiz or xorg, but this is just speculation :P | 21:14 |
| martijnbb22 | Hmm, i've tried this with some applications. Some refuse to resize to 1x1, some don't (including libreoffice, pidgin) | 21:17 |
| martijnbb22 | thanks for your comment, I will report it to libreoffice/pidgin | 21:17 |
| roadmr | martijnbb22: I'd still file it under the specific application | 21:17 |
| roadmr | no prob :) | 21:17 |
| teward | i agree with roadmr on this one, you should probably file it against libreoffice, rather than moultiple | 21:17 |
| teward | since the cause/issue is potentially different for each one | 21:17 |
| martijnbb22 | yeah | 21:17 |
| teward | (perhaps have different bugs for each program) | 21:17 |
| martijnbb22 | ok, thanks for your comment guys! | 21:18 |
| martijnbb22 | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1458684 | 21:24 |
| ubot5 | Launchpad bug 1458684 in libreoffice (Ubuntu) "Libreoffice allows resizing its window to 1 pixel" [Undecided,New] | 21:24 |
| martijnbb22 | :) | 21:24 |
| teward | martijnbb22: you missed important information: the version of Ubuntu you have, the version of the package you have, etc. Consider running `apport-collect 1458684` | 21:37 |
| martijnbb22 | @teward: woops, thanks | 21:42 |
| meetingology | martijnbb22: Error: "teward:" is not a valid command. | 21:42 |
| martijnbb22 | teward: woops, thanks | 21:42 |
| teward | martijnbb22: you're welcome ignore the comments on the bug | 21:44 |
| teward | i submitted a comment just as you did that command and attached data | 21:44 |
| teward | asynchronicity is a problem | 21:44 |
| martijnbb22 | haha no kidding | 21:44 |
| teward | martijnbb22: also, in future, `ubuntu-bug PACKAGENAME` <-- | 21:44 |
| teward | that command automatically does the apport data collection step | 21:45 |
| martijnbb22 | i see, thanks! (and i did read that on reportingbugs, so it's just me being stupid..) | 21:46 |
| teward | no problem, just a tidbit for the future :) | 21:47 |
