apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected ubuntu
** Description changed: Several things happened when I tried to access apport. Here is my console log. (firefox-bin:1888): LIBDBUSMENU-GTK-CRITICAL **: dbusmenu_menuitem_property_set_shortcut: assertion `gtk_accelerator_valid(key, modifier)' failed and then I finally was able to get this john@john-testbedGA-MA78LM-S2H:~$ bin/bugger fglrx Description: Ubuntu Natty (development branch) Release: 11.04 fglrx: Installed: 2:8.840-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 2:8.840-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 2:8.840-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/restricted amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status (Yes, I do have a script for this) I am running on "low graphics mode". The above is not too surprising for a beta, but back to fglrx. Earlier I reported a bug on this item, then I got an update and this is what happened. 1. Something went wrong with my hard drive and the partition table seems to be scrambled, however I have a off-line backup system and was able to download the beta 1 disk. 2. After saving as much as I could of my hard disk content, I built a new boot sector, and repartitioned the disk, then installed the 11.4 beta1 disk. It sort of failed, but I got up enough to run dpkg from the boot, and this seemed to clear up the problem. I was able to boot, and it gave me a look at Unity. Not sure I like it, but time will tell. 3. Following the usual procedure for drivers, I activated fglrx, which then wanted a boot, so I did. 4. On come up, the system hangs, not listening to either keyboard or mouse (much). I was forced to reboot using SysRq emergency orderly shutdown. 5. I was able to reboot on Low Grapphics (sans fglrx) When the fglrx mess first started, characterized by large black areas, I was able to get a screen shot. I will add the URL for this after I get back to 10.10 and can place the image on my web pages. This will be later this afternoon, I suppose, since once this is filed, I am switching back to my production system. I hope this helps in various areas, but I really wish AMD would get on with it. Oh, and just in case you wanted the installer facts, here they are: john@john-testbedGA-MA78LM-S2H:~$ bin/bugger fglrx-installer Description: Ubuntu Natty (development branch) Release: 11.04 N: Unable to locate package fglrx-installer john@john-testbedGA-MA78LM-S2H:~$ bin/bugger "fglrx-installer" Description: Ubuntu Natty (development branch) Release: 11.04 N: Unable to locate package fglrx-installer Hmm, that doesn't seem to be present.
