Lastly the <code>dpkg</code> command which is the base for all of them.</p>\n\n<p>Since dpkg is the base, you can use it to install packaged directly from the command line.</p>\n\n<h3>Install a package</h3>\n\n<pre><code>sudo dpkg -i DEB_PACKAGE\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>For example if the package file is called <code>askubuntu_2.0.deb</code> then you should do <code>sudo dpkg -i askubuntu_2.0.deb</code>. If <code>dpkg</code> reports an error due to dependency problems, you can run <code>sudo apt-get install -f</code> to download the missing dependencies and configure everything. If that reports an error, you'll have to sort out the dependencies yourself by following for example <a href=\"https://askubuntu.com/questions/140246/how-do-i-resolve-unmet-dependencies\">How do I resolve unmet dependencies after adding a PPA?</a>.</p>\n\n<h3>Remove a package</h3>\n\n<pre><code>sudo dpkg -r PACKAGE_NAME\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>For example if the package is called <code>askubuntu</code> then you should do <code>sudo dpkg -r askubuntu</code>.</p>\n\n<h3>Reconfigure an existing package</h3>\n\n<pre><code>sudo dpkg-reconfigure PACKAGE_NAME\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>This is useful when you need to reconfigure something related to said package. Some useful examples it the <code>keyboard-configuration</code> when you want to enable the <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>Backspace</kbd> in order to reset the X server, so you would the following:</p>\n\n<pre><code>sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Another great one is when you need to set the Timezone for a server or your local testing computer, so you use use the <code>tzdata</code> package:</p>\n\n<pre><code>sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata\n</code></pre>\n",

Since upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04, I can no longer get multichannel (5.1) sound to my speakers. Stereo 2-channel sound was working, but it was using the onboard sound system. I want 5.1 surround sound using my Soundblaster Audigy2 card.</p>
<p>I have now disabled the onboard sound in my PC's BIOS. Now, ALSA is using the Audigy card. Pulse Audio is using the Audigy 5.1 as both source and sink. This is verified by monitoring them in padevchooser when a sound is being played. However, no sound is going to the speakers, which are wired into the three output jacks of the Audigy2 card.</p>
<p>All of this worked just fine on Ubuntu 10.10.</p>

<p>As an example, this is frustrating if I am watching a season of a tv series, and I'd like to be able to get to the next episode via dash searching the show title. The obvious, clunky workaround is to open each file once by hand to force them into the index. I'd like to write a script that will do this for me for the contents of a directory.</p>
<p>Does anyone have advice on writing a Nautilus script that will open each file in a directory with high efficiency, ensuring that the files make it into the zeitgeist index?</p>
<p>Thoughts:</p>
<ul>
<li>It would be nice to have a small dummy application that functions as a data provider to zeitgeist, but does nothing but "open" the files of specified formats passed to it. This would eliminate the need to open a heavier app like a video/music player or a word processor. </li>
</ul>
<p>I intend to look into this as (hopefully) elementary programming/scripting practice, and I would love tips/ideas if others are interested.</p>

<p>Since then, I can't run it when I'm logged in through a VNC session. Firefox crashes immediately: when I try to run it from the console I get this error:</p>
<pre><code>###!!! ABORT: X_ShmPutImage: BadShmSeg (invalid shared segment parameter); 3 requests ago: file /build/buildd/firefox-4.0.1+build1+nobinonly/build-tree/mozilla/toolkit/xre/nsX11ErrorHandler.cpp, line 203

</code></pre>
<p>Firefox works fine when I run it directly from the PC. Firefox 3.x worked fine also from a VNC session.
I tried to turn off the hardware acceleration from the Firefox preferences, but that doesn't fix the problem.</p>
<p><code>firefox --sync</code>, <code>firefox -safe-mode</code> and <code>firefox -ProfileManager</code> also crash the same way.</p>
<p>Any idea how to troubleshoot this? Thanks.</p>
<p>Edit: additional info.</p>
<p>I run vnc (RealVNC 4.1.1) from xinetd, this is the config I use:</p>
<pre><code>service Xvnc

UI-wise I prefer KDE over Unity, I do however miss some of the Compiz plugins (especially the keyboard shortcuts). KWin seems to allow enormous amounts of keyboard shortcuts, but so far I haven't been able to find the correct ones. What I specifically miss is the Put/Grid plugins in Compiz that allowed placing and resizing of windows using different key combos plus the keypad. The closest I have come in KWin is the "Pack Window" and "Pack Grow Window" key shortcuts that behave roughly like the Put/Grig plugins except it lacks the finegrained control. </p>
<p>So in short:<br>
Is there any way to get KWin key shortcuts to give the same finegrained control over size and placing of windows as Compiz Put/Grid (which had one place for each keypad key plus different sizes)?</p>

40863 | 1 | 42126 | 2011-05-06T22:41:02.000 | 5 | 3082 | <p>My laptop has Intel Mobile GM965/GL960 integrated graphic controller and the screen size is 1280x800. When I plug another LCD (ThinkVision 22") the upper half of the laptop screen becomes black.</p>
<p>I can see:
- the top panel (on both monitors)
- the bottom size of the laptop screen with all windows and stuff
- the mouse cursor when it goes over the upper black half of the laptop screen and everywhere on the second screen</p>
<p>I cannot see:
- anything else (except for the mouse cursor) in the upper half of the laptop screen
- anything (except for the top panel and mouse cursor) on the second screen</p>
<p>I used Ubuntu 10.10 before with the same hardware and the same two monitors -- everything worked fine. But now I can't use the other monitor. Tried to search for a solution -- no luck.</p>
<p>Some additional observations:
- If I change the resolution on the other screen to lower settings, then the black part shrinks vertically (it is still there, though)
- After I unplug the second monitor, some windows shift, for example those extended to a half of screen etc.</p>
<p>Any links or ideas are very appreciated. Thanks.</p>

40881 | 1 | 43536 | 2011-05-07T00:43:53.643 | 4 | 1214 | <p>I'm setting up an Ubuntu instance on Amazon EC2 and I'm trying to configure it so that, at startup, it automatically attaches an EBS volume and takes an elastic IP address and, at shutdown, it automatically releases those resources.</p>
<p>I found various init scripts that do what I want, but I'd really like to use an upstart job, so that I can automatically install it through cloud-init.</p>
<p>I understand from <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/ec2ubuntu/browse_thread/thread/3a0ccf40a45e7857" rel="nofollow">this exchange</a> that the event I want to monitor to start my job is, for lucid and maverick</p>
<pre><code>start on stopped cloud-run-user-script
</code></pre>
<p>and for natty</p>
<pre><code>start on stopped cloud-final
</code></pre>
<p>Is this really accurate? Also, what is the correct event to monitor to stop my job (including unmounting and detaching the EBS volume and releasing the elastic IP)?</p>

40903 | 1 | 40905 | 2011-05-07T04:40:21.403 | 3 | 1898 | <p>I've only been booting into classic gnome desktop since 11.04 and since upgrading to 11.04 I'm having horrible window flickering and what seems to almost be gdm restarting. Maybe it's not gdm restarting but what happens is the desktop will flicker, all windows from all workspaces will come to the current workspace, often all window decoration will be gone, artifacts, and super choppy window dragging.</p>
<p>Anyway, does unity-window-decorator have something to do with it? Is this compiz? Can I replace it with something else? </p>
<p>EDIT: I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the buggy nvidia drivers. I know that the switch to unity-window-decorator is new between 10.10 and 11.04 so thought it may be an issue too. </p>
<p>EDIT:For reference if it does have something to do with the drivers, I'm using nvidia-current on - </p>
<pre><code>product: G92 [GeForce 9800 GTX+]
vendor: nVidia Corporation
</code></pre>
<p>I run $compiz --replace & but that doesn't fix it.</p>

40904 | 1 | null | 2011-05-07T04:46:51.493 | 3 | 482 | <p>Is there an easier way to upload files in Web browser (HTML) file upload forms other than noting/cutting a file location and typing/pasting that location into a Browse... dialog? I've heard <a href="http://www.thecssninja.com/javascript/drag-and-drop-upload" rel="nofollow">drag and drop upload is on the way</a>, but looks like eBay isn't using it yet.</p>
<p>My Dad was frustrated trying to import a photo off his digital camera and upload it to eBay. He had the import part figured out (GNOME/F-Spot does a pretty good job with that), but was stuck because he didn't know how to browse to the photo.</p>
<p>In my older F-Spot (on Ubuntu 10.04), when you right click on a photo there's a "Copy Photo Location" option. This copies the full path of the file into the clipboard, and I can easily use this for browser file upload forms. Apparently this was changed in his newer F-Spot (on Ubuntu 10.10)... now it's just "Copy Photo". I don't know what "Copy Photo" does, but it doesn't put the full photo file path in the clipboard.</p>
<p>I came up with a many-step process so he could do this on his own. Anyone know a better way? This is just crazy:</p>
<blockquote>
<ol>
<li>Import photo to F-Spot.</li>
<li>Double-click on photo.</li>
<li>Copy/remember photo filename (something like DSCN0471.JPG).</li>
<li>Click "Places" in the panel on the top of the desktop.</li>
<li>Choose "Search for Files...".</li>
<li>Paste or type in the filename next to "Name contains:".</li>
<li>Click "Find".</li>
<li>If the file is found, note the Folder listed (if not, try searching again). You may leave the "Search for Files" window open.</li>
<li>When visiting the site where you will upload the photo, you'll be prompted to upload a file. The file upload "form" will include buttons such as "Browse..." and "Upload".</li>
<li>First click "Browse...".</li>
<li>Browse to the photo in the Folder listed in step 8. Click "Open" to choose that file. The window will close and you will return to the file upload form.</li>
<li>Click Upload.</li>
<li>Done!</li>
</ol>

You have third-party versions of both these packages, so you should report your problem as a bug to that third party. If the packages come from <em>different</em> third parties, then these are two incompatible packages sources, which may or may not be a bug they consider worth fixing. Do make sure that you have their latest version of <code>gnome-accessibility-themes</code> first: run</p>\n\n<pre><code>sudo apt-get update\nsudo apt-get install gnome-accessibility-themes\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>The easiest solution to your problem is to wait for the package provider to fix the packages. Or, if nothing depends on <code>gnome-accessibility-themes</code>, you could try removing it.</p>\n\n<p>The packaging tools actually offer a way to make two packages cohabit even when they provide a file in common. You can rename one of the packages' version of the file with <a href=\"http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man8/dpkg-divert.8.html\" rel=\"nofollow\"><code>dpkg-divert</code></a>:</p>\n\n<pre><code>sudo dpkg-divert --rename --package gnome-accessibility-themes \\\n --divert /usr/share/themes/HighContrastInverse/index.theme.gnome-accessibility-themes \\\n /usr/share/themes/HighContrastInverse/index.theme\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>I don't necessarily recommend this: there may be other incompatibilities between the packages that you'll only find out later, and it can get messy if there are a lot of conflicting files. If you try the diversion, <code>dpkg-divert --remove --rename --package gnome-accessibility-themes /usr/share/themes/HighContrastInverse/index.theme</code> will cancel its effects.</p>\n",

I currently use 'Back in Time' to back up my data. I want to make sure everyone's account is preserved with their data and settings and was wondering if these backups will suffice? If I restore their folders into the new 'home' folder on the fresh install, will this recreate their accounts and settings? Or is there a better way to accomplish this?</p>

<p>In my panel (the one with the systray) all text are gray, the same goes on for all my right click menus and so on. After googleing I've found out that I need to change the text[normal] (or something like) variable in my GTK theme. Please correct me if I'm wrong.</p>
<p>I've also found out that I need to edit a file in my theme <code>/usr/share/themes/<theme-name></code></p>
<p>But which file, and where in the file?
Needs to be changed to black. (Can I use hex codes, ex.: #000000 ?)</p>
<p>Actually I see that the text in my right click menu is black when an option is disabled. I actually need to switch those two colors - in order to get everything right. Correct?</p>
<p>Thanks alot!</p>

40973 | 1 | 41102 | 2011-05-07T12:27:16.487 | 4 | 1621 | <p>Yesterday I got my new laptop and switched from Mac OS X to Ubuntu. The graphics chip is an intel 3000 chipset of the new sandy bridge processors. Now, I am having trouble with my external monitor, a dell ultrasharp connected via VGA. (at the moment)</p>
<p>The situation I <strong>want</strong> to have:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Monitor disconnected, laptop lid open:</strong> laptop screen</li>
<li><strong>Monitor disconnected, laptop lid closed:</strong> suspend/hibernate</li>
<li><strong>Monitor connected, laptop lid open:</strong> two screens side by side, of course with max. solution. The external monitor should be the main screen.</li>
<li><strong>Monitor connected, laptop lid closed:</strong> external monitor as main monitor, laptop screen switched off.</li>
</ul>
<p>That used to work on my mac quite well; When I closed the lid it hibernated, but I could wake it up by typing on the keyboard while the laptop was closed and the external monitor showed the picture.</p>
<p>Now, I have several problems with Ubuntu.</p>
<ul>
<li>Connecting the monitor while the laptop is running produces bad pictures, the monitor is flashing and I have to pull the cable. When the monitor is connected while booting, it works side-by-side</li>
<li><strong>Unity</strong>: when I close the laptop, everything becomes black and doesn't react anymore, even though in the system power settings I set the behaviour to "blank screen". Opening the laptop again, results in a black picture on both monitors, only the mouse arrow is visible. But still nothing reacts and I have to reboot the laptop manually.</li>
<li><strong>Ubuntu classic</strong>: Here, when I close the laptop, the external monitor shows the desktop, but in bad resolution. In the monitor settings, I recognize that the system thinks it is the laptop monitor. (detect monitors) After opening the laptop again, it becomes black just like when unity is running and I have to reboot.</li>
</ul>
<p>After some googeling, I feel like some other people have the same problems using natty. What could I do about it?</p>

<p>First problem was a missing line in <code>nsswitch.conf</code>:</p>
<p>I added the line: <code>automount: nis files</code></p>
<p>But now I get this:</p>
<p><code>automount[2285]: lookup_init:136: lookup(yp): map auto.master: Local domain name not set</code></p>
<p>This is a local network setup, therefore I'm completely confused by this error. Why should nfs client require a domain name?</p>

<p>It seems that this is a new unity key sequence. However, I'm using
"Classic Ubuntu" on login - i.e. I'm using Gnome. Nevertheless, this new key sequence
has its Unity functionality.</p>
<p>I'm an emacs user (where <kbd>Meta</kbd>=<kbd>ALT</kbd>), and <kbd>Meta</kbd>-<kbd>Shift</kbd>-<kbd>UpArrow</kbd> is a key sequence that I use fairly often (manipulating tables in org-mode). So I'd like to know how to turn off this
Unity/Gnome keybinding, so that emacs actually sees this key sequence.</p>
<p>As far as I can see, this keybinding (<kbd>ALT</kbd>-<kbd>Shift</kbd>-<kbd>UpArrow</kbd>) is <em>not</em> mentioned in the Gnome "Keyboard Shortcuts" tool (available from the System->Preferences menu).</p>

<p>Yahoo will not send or receive mail. Evolution never asks for a password. I will quit
using yahoo after this but I would like to download my mail. Thanks for any help.

41055 | 1 | null | 2011-05-07T18:55:16.083 | 1 | 2047 | <p>I have purchased a brandless RF remote that brandishes an MCE logo, and I want to use that on my Media PC running XBMC on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.</p>
<p>The important buttons work out of the box with no configuration: arrows, OK, back and media control (play/pause,etc.), but the remote has many buttons that I want to use to power some more obscure features - from "go to main screen" through context menu to "open subtitles synchronization dialog". Unfortunately, when I start XBMC in debug mode (as described <a href="http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=List_of_XBMC_keynames" rel="nofollow">here</a>), I can't get any of these buttons to register. These are buttons like "channel up/down", "My TV", "DVD Menu", etc.</p>
<p>I also tried to fiddle with LIRC, but as I have no idea what I'm doing, that obviously failed. <strong>Update</strong>: Please note that I rather not use LIRC and the remote currently works without LIRC.</p>
<p>The remote has the label "RM-518" and dmesg identifies the USB RF receiver plug like this:</p>

"body": "<p>It looks like I found a way around to deal with the problem for binding the mouse corner over Unity. To do this I installed a program called <strong>xdotool</strong> to be able to execute commands to be sent till X. I found this answer over the <a href=\"http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/08/open-unity-dash-compiz-edge-binding-gnome-shell-style/\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">OMG Ubuntu</a> when they talk about binding the upper-left corner to auto open the Desktop Wall utility and for my surprise it worked like a charm. So here go the steps to do for making this way around.</p>\n\n<p>Install xdotool:</p>\n\n<p><code>sudo apt-get install xdotool</code> </p>\n\n<p>Open <strong>ccsm</strong> and go to your settings in Desktop Wall (Or whatever you want to bind, Ring Swichter for example) </p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZUrFi.jpg\" alt=\"pic_01\"></p>\n\n<p>Look at the commands that you have for binding the edge that you want. For me for example I have to command to switch till the left workspace is <strong>ctrl+alt+Left</strong>. This is the keystrokes that you have to know to create your binding edge. The others bindings, in my case are <strong>ctrl+alt+Rigt, ctrl+alt+Up</strong> and <strong>ctrl+alt+Down</strong>.</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/apzat.jpg\" alt=\"pic_02\"></p>\n\n<p>In <strong>ccsm</strong> go to the <strong>Commands</strong> option</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/vU3r6.jpg\" alt=\"pic_03\"></p>\n\n<p>Here we have to enter the <strong>xdotoll</strong> commands. At <strong>command line 1</strong> I already entered the command to open the Unity Desktop Wall Utility so at <strong>command line 2</strong> I put the command:</p>\n\n<p><code>xdotool key ctrl+alt+Rigth</code></p>\n\n<p>Now go to <strong>Edge Bindings</strong> tab to create the edge bind.</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/HW1fp.jpg\" alt=\"pic_04\"></p>\n\n<p>Now click over the <strong>Run command 2</strong> to create the bind.</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u319/fanfejao/pic_05.jpg\" alt=\"pic_05\"></p>\n\n<p>Choose the right corner and click OK</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u319/fanfejao/pic_06.jpg\" alt=\"pic_06\"></p>\n\n<p><strong>At this point the ccsm might pop-up that if you want to create this bind you have to disable the</strong> <em>Flip Edge</em> <strong>effect. I dont even knew that I had this on, it might be enable by default from the Unity. Thats no problem in disable it and enable this bind, so just disable the</strong> <em>Flip Edge</em> <strong>and enable this new bind</strong> (This one is for the Flip Edge effect is from rotate cube binding, and at this example we are using the Desktop Wall, so if you dont had the rotating cube enable it might dont pop up this message).</p>\n\n<p>For creating the new binds for the other corners you just have to follow the same steps as you did for creating the right edge. <strong>But please read about the left-edge.</strong> The code for the other edges are:</p>\n\n<p><code>xdotool key ctrl+alt+Up</code></p>\n\n<p><code>xdotool key ctrl+alt+Down</code></p>\n\n<p><strong>The Left edge</strong></p>\n\n<p><code>xdotool key ctrl+alt+Left</code></p>\n\n<p>For the left-edge <strong>dont</strong> use the left corner, instead use the <strong>lower-left corner</strong> or the <strong>upper-left corner</strong>. Because the left edge is used by the Unity to hide/access the <strong>Unity launcher (dock)</strong> and if you disable the default Unity effect <strong>IT WILL BROKE</strong> your Compiz/Unity. So be careful about disabling the unity effect if it pop it. </p>\n\n<p>So once again, if <strong>pop up a compiz message asking for disable the Unity dont disable it</strong>, just change the corner to lower-left or upper-left corners.</p>\n\n<p>I hope that it could help you out.</p>\n",

I'm familiar with this to the point that I'm usually not aware of the act of scrolling.</p>
<p>In Unity, the visual indicator is on the edge, but the control is not. (This is presumably to prevent the control from covering up the indicator.) This means that I must now turn my head and look at where my pointer is so that I can properly grab the control. </p>

<p>The packages <code>libc6</code>, <code>libcups2</code>, and <code>libpopt0</code> are installed on my system, but <code>libcupsys2</code>. But <code>libcupsys2</code> is a virtual package since Ubuntu 7.04 and many users got the printer running under Ubuntu 10.10. </p>
<p>I'm on the 64 bit version of Ubuntu 11.04.</p>
<p>Any ideas?</p>

<p>The reason why I want to make the change is that Ubuntu is using a lot of RAM; even my WindowsXP with 512 RAM is working better than 1GB of RAM on Ubuntu.

Then I tried to load the 10.10 panels because I didn't like the globalmenu. After rebooting I ended up w/out Unity and w/out Gnome. Alt+F2 doesn't open terminal either, and I can only access the browser thanks to a keyboard shortcut I once set up. How do I resolve this mess..?

</blockquote>
<p>I'm working on a few projects at the moment, including working with PHP, ASP.Net and Mono, and wanting to learn Python (in both a scripting and web context). </p>
<p>Although my laptop (Win 7) works pretty well for the development stuff i need, i want to run a Linux server to host my projects on for some proper testing and to make sure that any differences between the Windows and Linux platforms are ironed out (read differences between Mono and .Net framework ;) ).</p>
<p>I've got some old hardware which I'm going to be using as the server and as i have some experience with Ubuntu on the desktop i figured i would give Ubuntu server a go. Installation was fine, and everything's working as expected, but i find the command line a bit of a bind. </p>
<p>My question is: Does anyone know of any nice server management software which can be installed to make maintaining the server any easier. I've already got things like PHPMyAdmin installed which makes managing the MySql server a breeze, but I still have to login to do a lot of the donkey work to keep the server up-to-date etc. Is there any (maybe web based?) software out there that would make maintaining the server easier? </p>
<p>Thanks,
Mo</p>

Part of Canonical’s Ubuntu Advantage support service, Landscape brings you intuitive systems management tools combined with world-class support.`</p>\n\n<p>You can see info about it here: <a href=\"https://landscape.canonical.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\">https://landscape.canonical.com/</a> and here: <a href=\"http://www.canonical.com/enterprise-services/ubuntu-advantage/landscape\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://www.canonical.com/enterprise-services/ubuntu-advantage/landscape</a></p>\n\n<p>Then you have <strong>WEBMIN</strong> which includes linux based servers. You can see info about it here: <a href=\"http://www.webmin.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://www.webmin.com/</a> (And also download the DEB packages from there)</p>\n\n<p>Last you have <strong>ZENTYAL</strong> in <a href=\"http://www.zentyal.org/\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://www.zentyal.org/</a> which offers many combinations of management solutions.</p>\n\n<p>But apart from this 3 i <strong>REALLY!!</strong> recommend knowing several terminal commands in the server world for Ubuntu/Linux before toying with this 3 or any other. For me, to have a server one should at least have some intermediate knowledge of how the server works and several (More than 50 at least) commands that will solve many problems that this web based tools might not. Also to learn scripting in the terminal, concatenating commands, creating some bash scripts is ideal for a server environment. This is just my opinion about the knowledge one should know before going to the server world since not everything GUI related will solve everything or will do everything that the terminal can do.</p>\n",

41109 | 1 | null | 2011-05-07T23:29:38.027 | 5 | 1925 | <p>I've upgraded 8 computers to 11.04 from 10.10 through the standard update version process. Two are giving me problems with the UDB optical mouse being frozen upon boot, to either a login prompt, or to the desktop.</p>
<p>Both computers are running AMD processors. Both are 32 bit systems. One has nVidia graphics and one has ATI graphics, which seems to rule out graphics. I tried changing the drivers on the nVidia system and that didn't make any difference. Doing a complete power down of the system was the only way I found try to get it working until I discovered that if I unplug the mouse mouse and plug it back in, it will work fine from then on. Doing a restart when it is frozen never results in a functioning mouse. Other than unplugging the mouse, a complete power down is required.</p>
<p>Both systems were using the same make/model of mouse, Logitech. To rule out it being the mouse, I've been using one of them on my laptop with 32 bit Ubuntu 11.04, and it has worked perfectly, so it most likely isn't a mouse issue, although using an Acer mouse on the one system seemed to alleviate the problem. </p>
<p>If I plug the Logitech mouse into the front mouse USB ports instead of using the rear USB ports on each computer, the number of times the mouse is frozen on boot has significantly been reduced. It still happens occasionally, but not nearly as frequently. Both computers are using PS2 keyboards, so I don't know the situation would be if they were USB.</p>
<p>The computer with the ATI graphics card is my wifes. I have the exact same computer at home with nVidia graphics at home. Mine has worked perfectly. But the other computer with problems has nVidia graphics, so, as I said before, I doubt it is a graphics problem.</p>
<p>I'm guessing it is a kernel issue.</p>
<p>One suggestion I found on line was modifying the grub file line </p>
<pre><code>GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
</code></pre>
<p>to </p>
<pre><code>GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash pcie_aspm=off"
</code></pre>
<p>but that didn't make any difference. Both machines worked fine in 10.10, 10.04, 9.10, and 9.04.</p>
<p>It has now been two weeks since the last update here. My co-worker purchased a new Logitech wireless mouse. There have not been any freezes on boot with the wireless sending unit on either a front or rear USB port. On my wife's computer about 20% of the time her mouse is frozen on boot, but unplugging it and replugging it makes it work without issue.</p>
