If downgrading to the jaunty version or upgrading to the lucid version (by adding the repositories of the distribution and removing the karmic ones), then the sound works, but no volume control, and System->Preferences->Sound does not work (just a dialog that is waiting..). If installing the jau

I have just tried the lucid alpha2, and that still failed for me. For karmic, I have tried some more variations, including upgrading various gnome packages, gdm, trying other display managers, upgrading/downgrading xorg and with it the video drivers, and also trying various kernels. It is difficu

Darko: This bug (458676) is it. Do not create a new one. The driver you are referring to is fglrx, which is known to work, but is not a solution to the bug, just a way to avoid it. See earlier posts for this bug. The bug is related to the free driver, known as "readeonhd" and "ati", which you do no

Darko: livecd "install" menu option works, while the "Try Ubuntu without installing" menu option does not (as it goes via GDM). However, if you need to use the livecd desktop environment, simply choose cancel when the installation starts. Aaron: You should try newer or older packages of GDM and/or

The radeon/ati drivers are obviously supposed to work in Ubuntu 9.10. I currenly use Ubuntu 9.04 with the radeon driver, and it works well (used to use fglrx in Ubuntu 8.10, but can not get dual screen setup to work in Ubuntu 9.04 with fglrx, while it is extremely easy with the radeon driver). I

With "compiz" I assume you are referring to the settings for desktop effects. Using fglrx, the system works fine both with and without desktop effects. Using radeon, the desktop effects are off in the stock install, and can not be enabled. Have been trying to figure out more exactly when the reb

Have gone over it again. See archive for the various log archives. Using only amd64 variants. No problems with Kubuntu 9.10 RC live CD, the install, or after install. see "910rc-stock-kubuntu-logs.tar.gz" Booting the Ubuntu 9.10 RC live CD causes the system to restart at 2nd loading screen, i.e

I’m guessing this is related to gdm since "startx" works but normal booting does not. When disabling xplash in /etc/gdm/Init/Default i get: black screen --> login screen background --> black screen --> restart When also adding automatic login in /etc/gdm/gdm.schemas i get: black screen --> loadin
