Re: [trinity-users] another probably stupid question -- SOLVED

said dep: | hi, everybody . . . | | one of the few applications i find absolutely essential is the gthumb | image viewer. it's a gnome application, and i have for many years run it | from the trinity desktop uneventfully. | | with my recent upgrade to ubuntu 14.04 from 12.04, gthumb has become | really, really slow. things like 30 seconds to load an image, when | previously i could click from image to image in a second or less. | | what makes it a puzzle is that on my fairly old (thinkpad x200) | notebook, running 14.04, same trinity, same gthumb, it rips right along | like always. | | i don't know whether on my desktop machine there's some battle between | gnome and trinity stuff or just what -- don't even have a clue where to | start looking. | | though i wonder if this might provide a hint. just did an apt-get | dist-upgrade and hit this: | | Unpacking nvidia-opencl-icd-384 (384.90-0ubuntu0.14.04.1) ... | dpkg: error processing | archive | /var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-opencl-icd-384_384.90-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_am |d64.deb (--unpack): | trying to overwrite '/etc/OpenCL/vendors/nvidia.icd', which is also in | package nvidia-opencl-icd-375 384.90-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 | dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe) | | there may have been a time when i knew how to fix this, but if so i've | forgotten. anybody know a fix? Never mind. did, of all things, an apt-get autoremove -f , followed by a reboot, and everything is all tickety boo again.
