I enjoy using Second Life and OSgrid. But every viewer I have tried crashes the desktop with the same error. When I get the error "Could not write byte: broken pipes" it resets back to the login screen. I do not have an NVIDIA video card. I have Intel HD 945. The crashes I get are exactly as described in several bug reports on the nvidia drivers.
Could not write byte: broken pipes
My hardware is a Sony Vaio VPCEA24FM 4 GB RAM, Intel HD graphics.
I already tried:
- Linux Mint 13 Maya Cinnamon and MATE
- Kubuntu
- Xubuntu
- Ubuntu
… all based on 12.04. They all crash the desktop – whether I use the Second Life viewer, Imprudence or Singularity.
I have regressed my system to 11.10 and have no issues. Never had any issues until I updated and it was a clean install using the above mentioned distros.
ubuntu-desktop
and see if that fixes your problem? To install that, run the commandsudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
.
