Upgraded from Karmic to Lucid today and am also having the "symbol 'grub_puts' not found" error described by illbashu; I have the Ubuntu install on a different drive from sda, so I had to reinstall grub2 for Karmic also. I haven't rebooted yet after reinstalling grub2, but I assume I'll run into t

I don't think this should be closed, I just upgraded one of my computers from Hardy to Intrepid and had this happen. It's very disconcerting, and I had not changed any settings. There appears to be something broken in the upgrade process. I'm glad the fix is easy, but it would be nice if nautilu

Update - in Intrepid Ibex (beta), after applying the restricted NVidia driver through the built-in Ubuntu mechanism, my screen resolution is working beautifully - I didn't have to do any messing with the xorg file this time. Before using the restricted driver, however, it was still only allowing 8

Fresh install of Beta from 2 days ago... USB keyboard works fine, USB mouse does not. In /var/log/messages I see my USB wheel mouse being detected and set to /class/input/input6. Restarting Gnome (/etc/init.d/gdm restart) did not resolve the problem, and I did a full apt-get update/upgrade/dist-u

I also had the same problem using the nvidia driver through the Restricted Drivers Manager - I could get 800x600 resolution through nv (hardly great, but that's a different issue), but once I loaded the nvidia driver through the Manager, I could only get 640x480. Did these three steps this weekend

Great--glad to hear the information was useful. I went ahead and copied over my old xorg.conf file from Gutsy to use for now, and that gets me up and running with a decent resolution. I'm attaching the file in case someone else stumbles across this same bug and doesn't have a working xorg.conf fi

Ignore the 1024x768 entry in the xrandr output; I added that myself, but it won't let me enable it, either through xrandr --output default --mode [EMAIL PROTECTED], or through the Ubuntu Screen Resolution tool. The screen just flickers once, no new entries are added to the Xorg.0.log ** Attachmen
