Permission to feel smug :)

I think I've cracked it. In xorg.conf, there are these lines:


Section "Files"
FontPath "unix/:7100"
EndSection

I commented these out, and now the...

I'm starting a new thread on this one, as I originally ask about rosegarden causing the problem, but it appears more general as many application do it.

When I run some applications (mostly KDE...

I don't think it uses OpenGL, and torcs (OpenGL game) runs fine. Nothing in those two log files indicating anything going wrong either.

I've also found kate crashes the desktop as well, so there's a common link there. I installed the latest NVIDIA drivers in case that was the problem, but that hasn't cleared up the problem.

BTW,...

I've just installed rosegarden and when it starts up OK, but when I select the open file icon it brings up the file selector window for a split second then crashes the whole OS, causing it to reboot....

Thanks for those links, that's led me to a solution:



dpkg-deb -x libstdc++5_3.3.6-20~lucid1_i386.deb tmp
sudo cp tmp/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.7 /usr/lib32/
cd /usr/lib32

I get:

ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, not stripped
and I'm on a 64-bit machine, so that explains it.

I'm trying to run some software that relies on the libstdc++.so.5 library. As this is an old library (superceeded by libstdc++.so.6) I had to download it and installed it using dpkg.

It has...

I did it this way as the output is to stderr of course:

kate >& ~/errors
Anyway here are the last 4 lines of that which appear to be the important ones:

I'm running 12.04 with the gnome desktop on a 64-bit machine. I tried starting up 'kate' (the text editor), but it crashes as soon as the file I'm viewing appears. When I say crash, it actually goes...

I've narrowed to down to a problem with the nvidia drivers. I changed my xorg.conf file so it doesn't use the nvidia drivers anymore, and the crashing disappears and the Qt apps run fine.

I tried recompiling Qt from source to see if that improved things, and it's still the same.

There's got to something very fundamentally wrong for the desktop to crash so easily.

I've just installed 11.10 and have found a serious problem. Every time I start a Qt based application (ffado-mixer was the first one I tried) it crashes the desktop at some stage and send me back to...

That's a lot better, now in the mid-20s and the responsiveness is back so it's playable now.

Don't think much of this Unity 3D if it drains resources so much.

I've just installed Ubuntu 11.10 (64-bit) after giving up on my 10.04 installation which had various problems.

I've installed torcs on 11.10 and am shocked at how slow it is. It barely crawls...

On my desktop PC running 10.04 I'm having great difficulties with it using USB memory sticks. When I insert one it isn't automatically mounted, and often it doesn't even pop up in /dev. If it does...

Just been looking at those tables and I'm a little wary that it appears many cards seem to work in older versions of Ubuntu, but not in the later versions. Given that a lot of the tests were carried...

Hello,

I'm after a PCMCIA Wifi card that will run with the minimum of fuss under Ubuntu 10.04 on a 32-bit laptop. Is there any make/model that is known to work well without having to jump through...

...or not so stuck ;)

I followed instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet so I could boot via the network, and it seems to like that. Currently reinstalling 10.04 as...

I can't boot to a LiveCD, that's my whole problem! I need to get it to boot some other way, but my CD drive seems to be either faulty or just being ignored.

No USB stick reading, no network or internet, only what's on the screen in front of me. Not much option really!

Here's the contents of /etc/fstab (copied by hand, so I removed comments):

I've got a laptop with 10.04 installed, and it has suddenly decided to report the error:

It gives me the option to either...

Currently I've got a Canon iP4600 printer, but the print-head has died and it looks like an unrepairable situation. So I'm reluctantly in the market for a new printer. Is there anything the people...
