well I never liked the idea of a console. Nothing compares to the good old mouse in games

@JorgeCastro my wife make level design for DA1. Well community, not actual job at Bioware
Jan 31, 2012 23:21
DA2 in IMHO was a fail compared to the feel of the first one
Jan 31, 2012 23:20
@JorgeCastro hope you play DA1, not 2

my opinion is that who ever wants to install it, knows it's way around and will quickly find the external PPA to install it. But the average Joe will definitely break his system

Jan 31, 2012 22:44
by the way, what do you guys think about ccsm possibly being sacked from the default repo?
Jan 31, 2012 22:41
@BrunoPereira As I am stating in the question, it's not a show stopper, because I don't require constant log-out/log-in, but the simple fact that I know the problem is there, it gives me the feeling of unstable system :)
Jan 31, 2012 22:40
@BrunoPereira cool
Jan 31, 2012 22:37
definitely going for a Nvidia next time arround
Jan 31, 2012 22:37
lol . ATI issue Pandora box opened :)

@BrunoPereira thanks for the bounty
Jan 31, 2012 22:25
Anybody up for a bounty on my question: askubuntu.com/questions/99111/… ?
Jan 29, 2012 20:04
ok
Jan 29, 2012 20:02
@BrunoPereira can I uninstall my mesa packages? Or at least the ones I have mentioned above
Jan 29, 2012 20:01
@BrunoPereira maybe, but how do I check? I have done the reinstall of the driver like you suggested. After uninstall of fglrx : sudo apt-get install –reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64 xserver-xorg-core then reboot and install the new drivers
Jan 29, 2012 19:58
I reported it. But now I have reverted to the 11.10 driver and the behavior is still the same. How can I make sure I am not using the open source drivers as well?
Jan 29, 2012 19:55
@BrunoPereira hi Bruno. You have time a minute to look over my question? askubuntu.com/questions/99111/…
Jan 29, 2012 00:01

@rlemon I have a 2.5 year old turkish angora, white as snow. She loves sleeping on my desk while I work. Not once she has shutdown my pc from the keyboard shut-down key :)
Jan 28, 2012 23:49

Jan 28, 2012 23:45

Jan 28, 2012 23:41
@rlemon just need to reinstall grub after you install ubuntu
Jan 28, 2012 21:06
@BrunoPereira I have updated my question: askubuntu.com/questions/99111/…. Reverted to 11.10 but the issue is still there
Jan 27, 2012 23:54
@BrunoPereira I still haven't fixed the issue from askubuntu.com/questions/99111/… I have added some extra stuff in the question. Plus, I have filed a bug, because I have read others having same issues: bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/922905
Jan 27, 2012 22:20
@StefanoPalazzo In my additional drivers I have a green dot (meaning it's active) against ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver. But I don't know if this is the open source or catalyst 12.1. I would guess it's the open source one
Jan 27, 2012 22:17
*hint
Jan 27, 2012 22:17
@StefanoPalazzo lol thx for that hit :)
Jan 27, 2012 22:15
@Stefano Palazzo OK :) If It's very strange that it behaves so differently with a log-of and a reboot is fine. I got the suggestion to check if the open source drivers are not also loading...but I don't know how.
Jan 27, 2012 22:10
@Stefano Palazzo my problem is here: askubuntu.com/questions/99111/…
Jan 27, 2012 22:03
How can I check what ubuntu is doing from the point I log in until unity is fully loaded?
Jan 27, 2012 21:57
Neard!
Jan 27, 2012 21:57
I get that from only wearing once in a while my maverick t-shit :)
Jan 27, 2012 21:50
cool
Jan 27, 2012 21:20
I may just raise a question
Jan 27, 2012 21:20
still same issue with my driver. Fail after logout, but works great after a reboot
Jan 27, 2012 20:26
@Bruno Pereira don't worry I am about to eat as well. Enjoy.
Jan 27, 2012 20:24
so can somebody tell me how I can make sure my open source ati drivers are loaded? And I am actually using the official one
Jan 27, 2012 20:11
@Bruno Pereira I have run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg for the reconfiguration, but how do I make sure the open source drivers are not loaded?
Jan 27, 2012 19:56
@Bruno Pereira I guess for recreating xorg.conf I should run "sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg". But how to make sure my open source drivers are not also loaded?
