[Bug 1888088] Re: [amdgpu] [Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14ARE05] Display won't rotate, nor do fractional scaling
I found a way to enable the amdgpu support for this hardware in the standard LTS kernel! Based on this comment on a YouTube video reviewing this laptop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjegdWtHuOE=UgzbtkQw4vuk6ls- 6vF4AaABAg Add "amdgpu.exp_hw_support=1" to the kernel command line in /etc/default/grub, run update-grub, and reboot. This FIXES ALL THE ISSUES that I encountered in this bug. I am running linux-image-5.4.0-42-generic:amd64 (5.4.0-42.46) which is the current LTS kernel. The same poster also recommended turning on this Firefox about:config setting, to avoid screen tearing while playing YouTube videos: layers.acceleration.force-enabled. I have seen reports (comments below that same YouTube video, and elsewhere) that there are small kernel patches in the 5.7 kernels that also fix the screen brightness settings on this hardware. Perhaps a future Ubuntu kernel update can cherry-pick those fixes, and automatically enable the experimental hardware support for this integrated AMD Ryzen 5 4500U CPU/GPU? Would be good for these fixes to get into the Ubuntu 20.04.1 point release, too; these laptops are very fast and cost $600 so they are selling very well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1888088 Title: [amdgpu] [Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14ARE05] Display won't rotate, nor do fractional scaling To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1888088/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1873407] [NEW] totem warns every time: "Drawing a gadget with negative dimensions. Did you forget to allocate a size? (node slider owner GtkScale)
Public bug reported: I am running Ubuntu 20.04 beta amd64 Desktop from the liveCD ISO. Whenever I run totem from a shell window to play a video, I get on stderr: "(totem:13002): Gtk-WARNING **: 07:50:52.916: Drawing a gadget with negative dimensions. Did you forget to allocate a size? (node slider owner GtkScale)" This has also been happening in totem in Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS for years. I was shocked when I first ran it on 20.04 that apparently nobody else noticed this error. It happens every single time I run totem, as soon as it actually opens a video and starts playing it. For example, I made a screencast for a few seconds (with Ctl-Alt- Shift-R) and then played it from "totem ~/Videos/Screencast*.webm", and this error came out on stderr. If I just run "totem &" the error doesn't come out -- until I select a video from totem's interface. Once I pick one and play it, then the error comes out on the terminal screen where I typed the totem command. Is there supposed to be a slider for scaling the video? That would be a nice feature, but no slider appears, possibly due to this bug...

[Bug 1873398] [NEW] gnome-disks won't do SMART on NVME drive
Public bug reported: I'm running 20.04 beta amd64 Desktop from a USB stick of the live ISO. I opened Disks (gnome-disks) and it sees all my drives, but it won't show SMART stats on my NVME drive (Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 500GB). The SMART menu item is greyed out. It works fine on other drives. The NVME has SMART support; it works fine with smartctl -a /dev/nvme0n1 for example. (Though smartctl is not in this live ISO, I have apt-get installed it at another time and tried it; and it works fine in the Ubuntu 18.04 that is installed on this machine.) I've attached a screencast showing the failure.

[Bug 876107] [NEW] relnotes in 11.10 say to install gnome-panel but it doesn't install
Public bug reported: I hate Unity and am only interested in running new Ubuntu's if I can install gnome. The release notes here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/ReleaseNotes?action=showredirect=OneiricOcelot%2FTechnicalOverview say: GNOME 3.2 is included and is a major upgrade from GNOME 2.32 included in Ubuntu 11.04. GNOME Classic is no longer installed by default, but can be enabled after installation completes by installing gnome-panel THIS IS FALSE. It's easy to reproduce. While running the Live image (desktop-i386) from USB stick, I got this result: apt-get install gnome-panel Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package gnome-panel is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'gnome-panel' has no installation candidate The same result occurs whether or not I have run apt-get update. To Fix: (1) Make gnome-panel installable from the repos. AND/OR (2) Change the release notes so that they don't tell people to do things that fail. Best of all would be: (3) Quit with the Not-Invented-Here attitude, don't force the Unity crud on everyone; make a simple way to delete Unity and install Gnome by default (or merely INSTALL it by default, next to Unity, and let people pick it in the login screen). ** Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/876107 Title: relnotes in 11.10 say to install gnome-panel but it doesn't install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/876107/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
