I tried to fill the space (default) and also tried to create a small (500M) partition both at the start and at the end of the free space. In every case I said I wanted a logical partition. In every case, the partitioner gave an error Can't have overlapping partitions.. It was prepared to create a primary partition in the space, but this is not what I wanted. I rebooted into Karmic and verified with gparted that the free space was indeed inside the extended partition, meaning the extended partition ended at the end of the disk, not at the end of partition #8 with the free space afterwards. I was able to create the logical partitions I wanted inside that free space using gparted from Karmic, without resizing the extended partition. ** Affects: base-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Alternate CD unable to create partition https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/542778 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 525291] [NEW] Live CT triggers security alert
Public bug reported: A couple of times recently, I have started an Ubuntu live CD at work, shortly after which I get an upset security guy wanting to know why my IP address is trying to log into lots of the network infrastructure. Sure enough I can see that as I started the live CD, all switches in the building sent an Authentication Failed trap to their management systems, naming my IP address as the source of the failed access attempt. IT are suspicious enough of Linux and open source software in general as it is, and finding out that Ubuntu is trying to access all the local network infrastructure without permission and without the users knowlege only serves to prove their suspicions correct. I have just started a live CD at home while watching it with wireshark, and I think the cause of the problem is that the live CD broadcasts an SNMP GET (actually, a local subnet multicast) with a community string set to public. I have no idea what process does this, but I think it's a Really Bad Idea. It means I can't start a live CD at work because the security folk will have a hissi fit, and I really can't imagine that it would ever glean anything useful from the results anyway. So I would like to propose that you remove this feature from future releases. I specifically saw this behaviour in the Karmic 9.10 i386 Desktop live/installer CD. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Live CT triggers security alert https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/525291 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It looks to me as though their fix is to make a note in the relase note and then completely ignore the bug. They don't even have the courage to actually admit here that that's what theyre doing. Fix released they say. The bureaucrats have well and truly taken over. With that kind of attitude floating around, it's no wonder that this release of Ubuntu is the most problematic I have seen for years. But then, maybe I only think it has problems because I didn't read the small print. -- regression: uvcvideo module makes cannot reset port error on usb with bison webcam (5986:0203): USB and suspend fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/435352 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 435352] Re: regression: uvcvideo module makes cannot reset port error on usb with bison webcam (5986:0203): USB and suspend fails
It's not the failure to fix it I'm upset about. There's not anything the Ubuntu folk can really do other than report upstream. I know that. And I read that there already has been upstream discussion. It's the self deception, pretending that it's fixed that bothers me. Makes the fix rate look good though, doesn't it. I suspect that's what really matters. If there is another bug report somewhere that says the problem has been reported upstream and awaits a fix then I owe an apology. But I haven't seen a link to any such report - I think the problem has been just made to go away. So there's nowhere I can keep watch on to see if there's ever any progress towards a fix. Because of course, it already IS fixed, isn't it? -- regression: uvcvideo module makes cannot reset port error on usb with bison webcam (5986:0203): USB and suspend fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/435352 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 434941] [NEW] ubiquity crashes runnung update-grub
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ubiquity Karmic alpha- 6 i386 desktop, installing from USB stick (created with Jaunty USB boot stick creator) onto a Dell E5500. Using custom partitioning to install to a preexisting (ex Intrepid) partition. Installation runs normally until the stage running update-grub at which point the ubiquity window closes without warning. On rebooting, Karmic produces a few error messages and then a totally black screen (I think the backlight is turned off too). The kernel is alive because Ctrl-Alt-Delete causes a reboot. Booting into recovery mode I can see errors about a read-only filesystem. Running fsck on the ext4 / partition and then rebooting allows Karmic to boot to GDM and I can log in to a normal desktop. Possible causes - I also have Jaunty installed on a JFS partition on the install disk, which is unusual and may be acting as a trigger for this bug. Also possibly significant - while the installer is booting from USB I see error messages about being unable to read from (if I remember right) sr0. I have tried this 3 times with the same result. I have re-checked the MD5sum of the ISO image and re-created the USB stick. ** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- ubiquity crashes runnung update-grub https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434941 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 408532] [NEW] tty uk keyboard map wrong
Public bug reported: Ubuntu Karmic Koala alpha3 After specifying a UK keyboard during installation, the keyboard mapping on the TTY consoles is wrong. It appears to be mainly a US keyboard layout, but shift-2 and shift-3 don't seem to work at all. As it happens, this prevented me from logging in using a tty because of the password chosen during install. No such problem with the Gnome terminal keyboard layout which appears to be perfect - just the TTY console layout. It may be significant that the installer crashes during the GRUB install and so doesn't complete fully - I'm not sure at what point the TTY keyboard layout gets cocnfigured. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- tty uk keyboard map wrong https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/408532 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 357257] [NEW] nautilus crash showing long filename
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus The attached tar file contains a file with a name that makes nautilus crash. The filename contains two UTF8 3-byte sequences which I think represent a pair ot Line Separator characters, but it's nto as simple as that because shortening the filename makes the problem go away, as does replacing the odd characters. The tar file also contains a small HTML file. The page title is the same as the filename that crashes nautilus. When I view this document in nautilus, my gnome-panel crashes repeatedly until I swithch away from that page. I think gnome-panel is crashing trying to diaplay the title in the Window List applet. Note that this just might have the same root cause as bug #28640, but I'm not sure. I can see the file name OK in a gnome-terminal shell.

[Bug 285682] Re: Ubuntu 8.10 can't mount digital camera showing a window popup message: -60 could not lock the device message
More info. When I plug the camera in and I am logged into gnome, the camera does not work. Gnome offers to open the camera, and sometimes the folder view shows the top-level DCIM directory, but it hangs when I try to look inside that directory. I attach a screenshot of the problem (with a tail of /var/log/messages behind). I notice that the camera does NOT show up in fdisk. However, if I kill GDM and work in text consoles, when I turn the camera on it DOES show up in fdisk as /dev/sdb1. I am then able to mount it, launch startx and browse the camera in nautilus. This demonstrates to me that the problem is not in the kernel USB handling but is misconfiguration of whatever auto-mounts the camera filesystem.

Yes, this was a fresh install of Gutsy tribe 5.

Of course I choose to install the driver, to which I receive a box with a no entry sign and the text: The software source for package nvidia-glx-new is not enabled. Now, I know enough to know that I should launch Synaptic and enable the Multiverse and Universe repositories, but the Restricted Drivers icon in the system tray is for newcomers who will not know this. Worst, the messace could be interpreted as meaning that the software servers out there in the Internet are not enabled - perhaps I should try again in a few days when someone has enabled them? I suggest that the message should go on to explain that the extra repositories can be enabled from the System-Software Sources configuration utility. Perhaps it should also say which repositories should be enabled. I just went to Software Sources, and I see that Multiverse and Universe are indeed enabled.

[Bug 63869] Re: Cannot install grub into root partition
This problem still exists in Feisty beta. I told the installer not to install GRUB on the MBR, and then told it to install on (hd0, 6) instead. This is the partition (/dev sda7) that I was installing to. In this instance, it was formatted with JFS, but last time it was formatted EXT3, so I don't think the JFS is significant. It's a SATA disk. Anyway, I got a pretty red screen saying the GRUB install had failed. I finished the install by using the rescue a broken system option on the installer, chroot to the newly installed root partition and run grub-install (hd0,6) by hand, then create a menu.lst. From memory (I'm on a different machine at the moment), my partitions are hda1 - reiserfs (Breezy) hda2 - NTFS - windoze hda5 - vfat - shared stuff hda6 - ext3 - Edgy hda7 - jfs - Feisty install target hda8 - swap hda9 - reiserfs /home -- Cannot install grub into root partition https://launchpad.net/bugs/63869 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 97629] Re: Feisty Beta - Cannot disable installer CD repo in Synaptic
Sebastian, Sorry for the delay in answering - I only just got home from work. I looked in both those locations, and they both give me the same dialog. Maybe I'm being dumb, but I cannot find where to disable the CD. I can see checkboxes for Main, Universe, Restricted and Multiverse, but not to disable the install CD as a repository. See attached screenshot. And in fact, the first time I installed anything, it asked for the install CD. I had to manually edit sources.lst before it would download anything. This is Feisty Beta we're talking about. The dialog is very different to the Edgy one. But maybe I just don't understand the new dialog box. Regards, Steve.

[Bug 14010] Re: grub-install fails for JFS root partition
I confirm this bug is still present in Feisty Beta 1 Alternate installer CD. During the install, I chose manual partitioning and selected an existing partition for reformatting as my root partition. Then at the question Install bootloader to MBR? I chose No, and instead said to install to /dev/sda9 (SATA drive). As error message told me that grub-install failed and this was fatal. I continued the installation and then used the installer CD as a rescue disk and ran grub-install /dev/sda7 manually. I then had to create my own menu.lst. This was with a JFS partition, and specifying both /dev/sda7 and (hd0,6) fail the same way. Same bug existed in Edgy, except I was installing to EXT3 and not JFS then. I seem to remember i has the same bug in Dapper too, but can't swear to it. -- grub-install fails for JFS root partition https://launchpad.net/bugs/14010 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Public bug reported: Binary package hint: synaptic There doesn't seem to be a way to disable the original installer CD as a repository in the new Feisty Beta Synaptic. It's easy to do by editing sources.lst of course, but given that many users will not be keeping their original installer disk handy, I would thing an option (like a checkbox) where the rest of the repo settings are set in the Synaptic GUI would make sense. ** Affects: synaptic (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Feisty Beta - Cannot disable installer CD repo in Synaptic https://launchpad.net/bugs/97629 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 86893] Re: [Feisty] Clicking on HPLIP Toolbox in gnome menu does nothing
Till - I just tried the following: Used Synaptic to uninstall py-qt3, hplip, hplip-data and hpjis packages. Installed hpijs-ppds_2.7.2+1.7.3-0ubuntu1_all.deb, hpijs_2.7.2+1.7.3-0ubuntu1_i386.deb, hplip-data_1.7.3-0ubuntu1_all.deb and hplip_1.7.3-0ubuntu1_i386.deb from your link above by downloading them and double-clicking them in synaptic. None of these called in python-qt3, so when starting hp-toolbox from the command-line, I still get the error message about midding python-qt3. And I notice that by looking at the properties of package hplip in Synaptic, it both suggests and recommends python-qt3 but does not depend on it. Installing python-qt3 of course fixes the toolbox and it runs fine then. On 27/03/07, Till Kamppeter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What is in your ~/.local/share/applications/ directory?

Re: [Bug 32529] Re: Installer corrupting partition table
If end is last-used rather than first-free, then so do partitions 7 and 8. I think the table had been manually edited with cfdisk to create those partitions, and then Linux installed into the existing partitions, but I'm not certain - it's been a long time. This doesn't necessarily mean that the partitions actually overlap though, it just means that the partitions don't start and end on a cylinder boundary. I think this is what the + symbol means. They may well end halfway through a cylinder and the next one start on the following sector, still in the middle of the same cylinder. To know exactly, you need the detailed partition table rather than this summary printout. Is anyone interested in the 512 byte bootsector images of before and after if I can still find them?

[Bug 63869] Cannot install grub into root partition

Edit menu.lst to reflect the actual kernel files present. This is not so easy, as the shell that the rescue mode dumps you into is incapable of using either vi or nano, so I had to boot a different OS, mount the new partition and edit menu.lst from there. Call that a rescue disk? With no working editor?

Re: [Bug 63869] Re: Cannot install grub into root partition
Ooh! I haven't tried Windows again yet. Fortunately, all I have to do is restore the MBR from a backup, because I haven't been changing partitioning, just installing onto a pre-existing partition. They really need to get their act together with partitioning - diskDrake was doing this kind of stuff with its eyes shut years ago. Not-invented-here syndrome, perhaps? Steve On 04/10/06, Torsten Eichstädt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I had the same bug. The partitioning tool shipped with edgy beta is _definitely_ broken. It writes wrong (incompatible with at least XP) partition informations onto the harddisk. It broke my system -- I could not boot anymore. Running the XP CD in rescue mode, issueing fixboot c: and fixmbr did not help. I made my system bootable again with the following: Supposed workaround: 1. If you have a dual-boot system Windows/Linux, boot from the Windows CD and 2. select the rescue mode (not the automatic rescue mode that asks you for a floppy, s/th rarely found nowadays on modern hardware) 3. Log into your Windows system 4. Start diskpart and alter the partition table, e.g. delete the Linux partitions (it's garbish, otherwise it wouldn't shred your partition table) 5. start fixmbr 6. type exit to reboot 7. If that does not help, do the same and in step 5 add fixboot c: 8. Wait for the Ubuntu team to take a crash course on software release best practices, i.e. when to call a release alpha, beta or stable, and what tools _not_ to change from a certain point on.
