Hm. I would recommend filing a bug with the instructions at so you can send the report on a stable computer. Use "xorg" for the package name. Then just make this bug a duplicate of the new one. Thanks! -- Epia-M600

I verified that python-launchpadlib was already installed. I tried again. Apparently, this is some form of text only browser. I was able to enter my e-mail address, and password, but the continue link remains inactive, my only choice is to cancel. What should I do? -- Epia-M6000 display problems

The only way I can execute that command on that computer is if I login to a text only window. Remember, the problem with this system is that it will reboot if I attempt to login to the GUI. When I did that and ran that command, some of the stuff that went buy implied that it expects a GUI interfac

OK, I'm sorry for all the confusion. Please execute the following command, as it will automatically gather debugging information, in a terminal: apport-collect 357900 This will help us to find and resolve the problem. Bear in mind that you may need to install the python-launchpadlib package from

I installed using the i386 disk. I did not see any option to select a different processor model, or I would have tried it. The messages that flash by when booting imply that the i686 stuff got installed. I would be happy to re-install on this machine if you can tell me how to force a different pr

OK, I just realized that you probably _are_ running a 386 kernel already, is that correct? Sorry, when you said "Ubuntu i386" I thought you were making a mistake and meant "Ubuntu x86". -- Epia-M6000 display problems & hang https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/357900 You received this bug notification

Oh, sorry about that, I'm running AMD64 so the -386 kernel wasn't listed on my box. Since I now see it is available for the x86 installs, could you try installing a 386 kernel and see if the problem goes away? Thanks. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- Epia-M6000 di

[Bug 357900] Re: Epia-M6000 display problems & hang

If it is a processor issue, all that would have to be done is reclassify the processor as a lower level processor. The install image is called i386, not i686, so one gets the impression that any intel like processor, i386 or above should work. If there is a way to force the installer to use a di

[Bug 357900] Re: Epia-M6000 display problems & hang

Well, if you hadn't said anything about cmov I would have thought this was definitely an xorg bug. It's slightly possible it could be a processor issue, but I think it's very unlikely that your computer would get as far as the desktop at all in that case. Anyway, if it really is a cmov issue, then

[Bug 357900] Re: Epia-M6000 display problems & hang

I am not sure that xorg is correct. My guess is that the installer is misidentifying the processor on this board. This computer uses a via processor (Samuel 2) that is one instruction (cmov) short of a 686 processor. It appears that every linux I have installed fails because the installer ident

I'm also seeing these window repainting problems. See screenshot for example. The terminal window was dragged down and right from its original position, but see also the un-repainted pixels between my login name and the date/time bit (top right). This is with a Via Epia M6000; I'll attach the Xo
