This week has been an eventful week for me. I got my iPOD Nano to boot GNU/Linux with podzilla app running. Battery life is a bit less though I have not been able to exactly time it. Rest I can say is amazing. I will put up my experiences with it in a different blog. But now its AIGLX. I had no window borders, loads of other bugs with my existing AIGLX/Compiz thing. But thanks to G0SUB for figuring out the issue and telling me the fix (Though it is not the *solution*).. A small howto..
Follow the how to given here.
If you dont get window borders etc then its a problem with the recent xserver-xorg-air-core package. Do the below.
$sudo vi /etc/apt/preferences
Paste the following contents
Package: xserver-xorg-air-core
Pin: version 1:1.1.1-0ubuntu1
Pin-Priority: 1001
Download http://ubuntu.compiz.net/pool/aiglx/x/xorg-air/xserver-xorg-air-core_1.1.1-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
$sudo apt-get remove –purge xserver-xorg-air-core
$dpkg -i xserver-xorg-air-core_1.1.1-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
Restart X
Viola!!!!! Everything is up. Million thanks to G0SUB for providing a solution to it.
Who is this G0SUB? Can you put up any links to his website? We’d like to employ this uber g33k.
Sorry. I have updated the blog with the link of this buggar. You can go ahead and employ him all at your own risk. I dont take any responsibility nor give warranty to this so called “uber” g33k.
