[Bug 570828] Re: gnome-network-admin on UbuntuStudio doesnt allow to configure either wired networks or wireless

2010-10-21 Thread dlotton
sudhir,

See my posts above.  In post #14 I give a command you can run on the
command line which should get networking up and going.  This solution is
only temporary.  It does not carry over on reboot.

You should now be able to update packages.  If the issue is fixed in the
update packages, you should be able to go in and configure a network
interface.


In post #15 I give a more permanent fix.  If the updates don't fix the problem 
you can use this one.

Yes, actually, my other machines are are Kubuntu Lucid, the KDE flavor
of Ubuntu.  However, I did boot a regular Ubuntu Lucid live CD disc on
the machine that is now running Lucid Studio and the same was true, no
entries other than 'lo' in '/etc/network/interfaces'.

Also, adding the following to '/etc/network/interfaces' brings the
interface up on boot.  However, I'm not sure this is the 'right' way to
fix the problem since my other Lucid machines do no have this entry.

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

I think I reported the same bug (#580744).

In my case with a wired interface I am able to run 'sudo dhclient eth0'
to get my network interface up and running with a dynamic ip address.

Turns out in my case running 'sudo dhclient eth0' configures the
interface.  I am using a wired interface.  Not sure if this is holds
true for others reporting in the other ticket.

Bottom line, there's something broken in the released Ubuntu STUDIO
10.04 distro.

[Bug 548891] Re: keyboard input broken due to invalid "SKIP" keyboard model

2010-04-05 Thread dlotton
Martin,

To clarify my post above, note that I got "SKIP" from the 'xprop'
command above ***after I was logged into a gnome session***.

I cannot get to a text console from gnome login screen using CTL+ALT+F1.
I had to login first, then CTL+ALT+F1 to a text console, then run the
'xprop' command.

If I run the 'xprop' command in a Gnome terminal window within a logged
in gnome session, I get 'SKIP' as well.

dpkg-recongure + reboot seems to fix the problem.  I now have 'pc101'
where 'SKIP' was before on the 'xprop' output.

2010-04-02 Thread dlotton
One further note to the developer,

I did not specify in my original post that I was using 64-bit Ubuntu as
the guest OS and XP 32-bit as the host OS.

VMWare Player 3.0.1 build-227600
Host OS: Windows XP SP3 (32-bit)
Guest OS: Ubuntu 10.04 Beta (64-bit), Kernel 2.6.32-17-generic


It may be helpful for the developer if the others chime in with 32/64-bit 
specifics on the guest/host OS they're using.

2010-04-02 Thread dlotton
Charles,

There's a user in a forum at the link below that had similar behavior
regarding the on-screen keyboard not working.  This user said the on-
screen keyboard would come up, then close immediately.  If they left it
alone for 15 minutes after boot, then they can get the on-screen
keyboard to work.

That's not really a practical solution ongoing, but it may get you past
the hump for now if it works.

2010-04-01 Thread dlotton

* keyboard layout:

I have to be logged in via the on-screen keyboard in order to do the
Ctrl+Alt+F1.  After logging in and Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get the terminal
screen I logged in and executed the requested 'sudo DISPLAY=:0 xprop
-root |grep NAMES.S' command.  Here is the output:

_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "SKIP", "us", "",
"terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"



* plymouth (splash screen):

I have to be logged in in order to get a Ctrl+Alt+F1 text terminal, if I
go back (i.e. Ctrl+Alt+F7), I get back to my logged in session where the
keyboard works normally(as it did before I went to the text terminal).
If I wait long enough before going back from the text terminal I get the
Ubuntu screensaver password dialog and I am able to type in my password
there without problem.  Ctrl+Alt+F8 from the text terminal goes to a
blank text screen with a blinking cursor, but doesn't respond to any
keyboard input.

Interesting side note: If I login,  Ctrl+Alt+F1 to a text terminal, then
resize my vmware window, it goes to the Ubuntu login screen, however,
the keyboard input still doesn't work.

"sudo apt-get purge plymouth" and a reboot did nothing to resolve the
issue.



* libxklavier when changing the password:

Keyboard does not work before selecting a user.  Cannot cursor up/down
to select menu items after clicking power button icon.  Cannot enter
anything after selecting 'Other' user.  'Cap Lock' and 'Num Lock' do
nothing.

Oops, I missed part of your first set of questions.

The 'caps lock' and 'num lock' keys do not appear to do anything while
at the Ubuntu login screen.  The indicator LEDs do not respond to
pressing the respective keys.

[Bug 548891] Re: keyboard input broken at gnome login prompt after package updates

2010-04-01 Thread dlotton

After getting logged in there are no issues at all with the keyboard.  I only 
see the problem at the login screen.  

1) The keyboard does not appear to react at all to key presses at the Ubuntu 
login screen.  
2) I cannot Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to a console when booted to the login screen
3) During a normal boot if I hit keys while it is booting I can see those key 
presses output to the terminal before it switches to the Ubuntu splash screen
4) booting in recovery mode I can navigate the text 'Recovery Menu' and drop 
into a root shell and the keyboard works fine.
5) I have not tried uninstalling the vmware guest tools, but I have upgraded 
the kernel twice, which breaks the vmware tools (i.e. they are not compiled to 
work with the new kernel yet) and requires you to re-run the tools config 
program.  After installing the new kernel and rebooting the vmware tools are 
not running.  The same keyboard problem is observed.  I login and reconfigure 
the tools for the new kernel and get them up and running, then if I logout or 
reboot at this point, I see the same keyboard problem when I get back to the 
login screen.
6) keyboard input seems to work fine before the login screen and after logging 
in.  I just doesn't work at the Ubuntu login screen.

>From the link someone posted above and a similar post I found on the
vmware site (link below), others are seeing the problem as well.

(note the original post may not be related, but a few of the later posts look 
like the same situation I describe)
