[Bug 662766] Re: does not reconnect after suspend/resume

2012-09-08 Thread Akkana Peck
This might not be specific to empathy: I see the same issue in xchat and
weechat. There's something else affecting it, though: from home on the
wired net, xchat always reconnects right away when I resume from
suspend, but when I'm traveling and using wifi, neither xchat nor
weechat will reconnect automatically, and I have to go through all the
server tabs running manual reconnects. I haven't been able to figure out
what the difference is. Happens in 12.04 but it's been true for some
time now, definitely not new with Pangolin.

[Bug 780911] Re: epdfview crashes on startup on some PDFs

2011-05-16 Thread Akkana Peck
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 783109 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/783109

Bug 783109 seems to be private, whatever that means. If I click on the link 
Launchpad is giving me, it tells me:
There’s no page with this address in Launchpad.
and the note at the bottom of the bug says Remember, this bug report is a

Is there some way to see bug 783109 or track it? I'd like to know if epdfview 
gets fixed, or if I can help with testing, since you suggested I should add 
further comments to that bug, I'm guessing maybe it isn't meant to be private.

[Bug 780911] [NEW] epdfview crashes on startup on some PDFs

2011-05-10 Thread Akkana Peck
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libpoppler13

Split off from bug 669211 since I was told this was a different issue:

In Natty, many PDFs cause epdfview to crash on startup.

Unhelpful stack trace (no symbols):
#0  0xb775b706 in ?? () from /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6

I tried installing poppler-dbg and setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to
/usr/lib/debug and to /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib (where the debug library
gets installed) but I still don't get symbols in the stack trace. Any
suggestions?

[Bug 486154] Re: System beep broken in Karmic despite heroic efforts to fix it

2010-06-21 Thread Akkana Peck
A week ago I wrote about un-blacklisting the module. But even with the
pcspkr module loaded (lsmod shows it), most of the time there's no beep,
either in or out of X. The pcspkr module seems very flaky in Ubuntu
kernels. I've never figured out why; if I build my own kernel, pcspkr
works fine, whether it's a module or built in. Thought it was fixed in
Lucid because it worked once, but I've never gotten it to work again
since then.

2010-06-13 Thread Akkana Peck
A lot of the discussion in this bug has to do with metacity and pulse, but for 
people who don't use gnome, metacity, pulse or any of that stuff, and just want 
their pcspkr module to beep when asked under lucid, I just posted a blog 
article:
http://shallowsky.com/blog/linux/kernel/pcspkr-lucid.html

Basically, I had to un-blacklist it in two places,
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and by removing the obsolete
/etc/modprobe.d/00local that some earlier ubuntu version had put there
and upgrades never removed.

[Bug 27323] Re: provide a way to disable drive polling

2008-03-19 Thread Akkana Peck
Aside from any posible future nautilus UI, I'm not seeing from the hal-
disable-polling documentation how someone could use it to disable all
polling. It looks like you'd have to mount an investigation to figure
out which devices were being polled (read the discussion in this bug to
see that it's not necessarily straightforward), then write a script to
be called at boot time to disable each device one by one.

This bug is asking for a way to say, simply, don't poll anything.
Which hal-disable-polling doesn't seem to provide.

Could this be included in (or required by) gimp, then let the gnomevfs

Gnumeric still can't print landscape here (feisty). If I print to a PDF

Might be related to bug #125691 on firefox, and I suspect there might be

related to the discussion in bug #34112).

[Bug 48614] New unneeded dependencies on hal

2006-06-05 Thread Akkana Peck
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: hal

I just attempted to update dapper -- my last update was a few days
before the official release -- and suddenly there are all sorts of
dependencies on hal that weren't there a week before dapper's release.
In particular, konqueror (via kdebase-kio-plugins), gnome-session (via
gnome-power-manager) and libgnomevfs2-common (via pmount) all have
broken dependencies without hal.

I uninstalled hal because it polls my disk several times a second, eats
cpu and causes one of my systems to make a faint beep several times per
second (bug 27323). Konqueror and gnome-session have been working fine
without it for at least the past six months, until just now. Was this an
intentional policy change? It seems like a significant change to make so
close within a few weeks of dapper's final release (and it makes these
packages unusable for me and anyone else who doesn't want the frequent
polling).

Please make hal optional, as it always used to be, at least until the
polling problem is fixed or a workaround is found. Thanks!

[Bug 27323] Re: hal's automount_enabled_hint causes disk activity every few seconds

2006-05-08 Thread Akkana Peck
Nope. Neither your example, nor the example that's already in the file (which 
is different: it nests the storage.removable case inside the 
storage.hotpluggable case) stops the polling. If anything it might be more 
frequent after making the change. (Yes, I did also uncomment the lines, and I'm 
rebooting between changes, not just manually restarting processes.)

As to what to do about the bug and whether it's still a bug, I don't have a 
problem with automount (and even polling, if that's truly the only way the 
kernel can do automount) being on by default. But there are still some bugs 
left (IMHO, of course):

1. There should be a way to actually stop the polling. Currently, the file says 
it's possible but the lines in the file don't actually seem to change anything 
-- surely that counts as a bug?

2. Is it really necessary to have two daemons doing a seemingly identical poll, 
once a second (or so) each? Couldn't one daemon handle it, and at least cut 
down the polling by half?

3. Isn't a polling interval of twice a second (or even once a second) rather 
aggressive? Does hal not allow any possibility of tuning the polling interval?

If a way is found to change the polling, I'd even argue that both the interval, 
and whether to poll at all, would make an excellent addition to one of the 
sysadmin menus. I bet lots of people don't know that frequent polling is going 
on, and would disable it or at least scale the interval longer if they knew. 
But that's  more an RFE than a bug, and commandline ways of controlling this 
(short of sudo aptitude purge hald) would be plenty to fix this bug.

[Bug 27323] Re: hal's automount_enabled_hint causes disk to beep every few seconds

2006-04-25 Thread Akkana Peck
User friendly or not, I'd appreciate instructions on how to do it. I tried 
changing everything I could find that looked like it might be related (see the 
first couple comments in this bug) but nothing I could find stopped the 
polling. In hoary it was possible to get hald to stop polling by editing a 
file, but it doesn't seem to work in either breezy or dapper.

 Ouch, that sounds really serious; are these bugs known in Malone?

I haven't had much luck in the past reporting X and kernel hangs, but I see 
there's a similar bug reported for the ATI driver (though no one's looking into 
it yet), so I've reported mine (Savage) as bug 41340.

[Bug 27323] Re: hal's automount_enabled_hint causes disk to beep every few seconds

2006-04-24 Thread Akkana Peck
Inserted media aren't automounted even with the two hal devices polling; 
running hald makes no difference I've been able to notice.

Is automounting dependent on the gnome desktop doing something? I've done a lot 
of this testing without any desktop running -- in fact, on the Dapper Flight 6 
I've been using to test this, running the desktop hangs the machine (no 
keyboard response, no network response, no flashing keyboard lights, have to 
unplug the power cord and restart) about two times out of three, so I had to 
disable it. The hald polling and beeping happens whether or not I run the gnome 
desktop.

The /dev/sda device is created correctly and mounts correctly whether or not 
the hald processes are running, or indeed even if I aptitude purge the whole 
hald package.

Is there really never going to be a way to disable polling multiple times a 
second? Is removing hald the only solution for people who don't want all this 
polling and aren't getting any benefit from it?
