Re: M12 11.9.92

Have you tried the cheatcodes:

Code: Select all

nouveau.modeset=0 nomodeset

I need those on some nvidia cards to get M12 to boot to the GUI.

Re: M12 11.9.92

I've found a newer thread on this. Fixes for some elantech touchpad issues have been accepted into the mainline 3.11 kernel. Ubuntu kernels (and headers) with the relevant patches have been built for Precise (3.2), Quantal (3.5) , Raring (3.8) & Saucy (3.10). Could be worth a try. https://bugs.l...

Re: M12 11.9.92

It's a patch to the psmouse module that is installed using dkms. See here: http://redoem.com/2011/07/04/enable-full-touchpad-functionality-in-ubuntu/ However this may not work. The original elantech issue I found was reported to be fixed in the 3.0.2 kernel - although it appears to have been broken ...

Re: M12 11.9.92

Re: M12 11.9.92

I've seen some threads about problems with that keyboard & debian. In a terminal, try su rmmod hid-logitech-dj modprobe hid-logitech-dj It seems to be a timing problem where the driver tried to initialize the receiver before it's ready. If the above commands fix the issue you can put them in a s...

Re: Announcing a repository for the M11 KDE 4.6.5 upgrade

The problem is that M11 upgraded to KDE 4.6.5 breaks some packages. Some of the rebuilt versions of those packages to allow them to work on KDE 4.6.5 won't work with the default KDE so they can't ever go to the main CR. Leaving them in testing prevents us from building the newer version of those pac...

Re: Quick Start Guide

You were asked for two passwords upon installation. The first would be your user password, the second the root password. Both are case sensitive, so "PassWord" is not the same as "password" Try logging in as the user "root" - it could be the password you are trying is f...
