[Bug 481675] [NEW] gvfsd-metadata does not honor laptop-mode

2009-11-12 Thread dlgandalf
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gvfs

My laptop harddrive constantly wakes up, every 10~70 seconds, due to a
gvfsd-metadata process performing a write operation, while laptopmode is
enabled. I've read that this can only occur when a process invokes a
fsync operation. In my opinion  this should not be done in "normal" user
space programs without good reasons. My laptop harddrive is getting a
pretty good beating having to put it's heads back in place every 10s
(worst case), besides that, it's using more battery. I've used iotop and
lm-profiler to test it, laptop-mode works fine with the only exception
of gvfsd-metadata. What is the function/reason that gvfsd-metdata is
always started in the first place?

using karmic
gvfs: 1.4.1-0ubuntu1

[Bug 406554] Re: slow video playback, high cpu load

2009-10-25 Thread dlgandalf
also experiencing this since karmic alpha 2, my su3500 cpu could play
720p content flawlessly with around 40-50 cpu usage, but it's unworkable
now, sound gets heavily out of sync too.

[Bug 437167] Re: [karmic] libdeskbar-tracker does not install the module at the right place

2009-09-28 Thread dlgandalf
maybe deskbar is in the wrong here, since it installed everything under:
/usr/lib/deskbar-applet/deskbar-applet
which seems a little redundant

** Package changed: tracker (Ubuntu) => deskbar-applet (Ubuntu)

[Bug 424283] Re: totem loses sound when seeking in mkv which has embedded mp3 layer

2009-09-04 Thread dlgandalf
Well I can't attach copyrighted material here.

and I don't have creative commons sample.

Besides my desktop, I can reproduce this with my latop on a 2 day-old
installation of karmic.

steps are fairly easy to reproduce.

1 Get a mkv(matroska container) file with embedded mp3 audio 
2 play it with totem.
3 seek through the file by using arrow buttons or use the mouse on the timeline 
widget.
4 after 1 or just 2 tries of seeking, especially backwards seeking, the sound 
disappears.

[Bug 424283] [NEW] totem loses sound when seeking in mkv which has embedded mp3 layer

2009-09-04 Thread dlgandalf
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: totem-gstreamer

using:
Description:Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
Release:9.10

with packages up-to-date:
2.27.2-0ubuntu4

What I expected to happen was totem to continue to play correctly after
seeking through the mkv file, even if the audio being played happens to
be a mp3 (mpeg1 layer 3 for correctness )

What happened was no sound after seeking had been done.

ps
I don't know if this is only in conjunction with h264 video, because I don't 
have any mkv's with divx/(or other) encoded video which have mp3 audio

[Bug 420308] Re: [regression] Cannot enable Compiz from gnome-appearance-properties

2009-09-03 Thread dlgandalf
side effect which I see is that when you try it with the gnome-
appearance-settings-preferences, it fails, and after that a process
gconfd-2 suddenly is wasting cpu cycles. Hope this helps

I don't think it's gthumbs fault, as my upgrade to intrepid resulted in the 
above behaviour with kaffeine.
Little change gthumb and kaffeine both have the same bug.

've got the same error as eugrus (accept the buzzing)

why is this bug still invalid, while it is reproducable?
I think it's pretty severe too, as Topher explained.
