[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1381623] Re: CRITICAL: gtk_icon_info_get_filename: assertion 'icon_info != NULL' failed

2022-08-31 Thread Roger Davis
NOT fixed !!!

This message, among several others, repeats rapidly, hard drive continually 
seeks, system unusable.  Reboot, runs ok for a while (couple hours or so), then 
it starts again.  Sometimes I have to use the reset button to stop it, 
sometimes I can get to restart.
Just a very short set of sample4s below :

I have the same problem.  Killing speech-dispatcher fixes this, but I
want to keep it available.

Title:
  speech-dispatcher distorts all sound

Status in speech-dispatcher package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  So, a brand new computer running Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS.
  In hardinfo summary, my audio adapters are
  • HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDMI
  • HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH
  • HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
  In detail: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor HD Audio 
Controller (rev 06)
  Memory 16kb (non-prefetchable), snd_hda_intel

  As soon as I load a website in Firefox that utilizes speech-dispatcher
  (fimfiction.net) all sounds get distorted, whether I click a paragraph
  for TTS reading or not. The problem seems to go away if I don't use
  the site after a while. When I close down Firefox the problem still
  lingers a bit, but maybe not as long. One thing I did which seemed
  faster was close down everything, then load what I wanted to listen to
  (Skype, Discord), and if it still persisted I would go into "Sound
  Settings" and after a few blinks in that window the sound is normal
  again.

  While the site is open, according to "Sound Settings" (from the
  speaker icon menu) and Pulse Audio Volume Controller (pavu) there are
  4 copies of this package. Muting them did not help the problem, but
  moving one of them, and a very specific one, from the "Built-in Audio
  Analog Stereo" to something else like HDA NVidia (HDMI 3) seems to be
  a workaround.

  Just so you know, I do not use the HDMI cable for sound, but instead
  use the "headphones" jack. If you need any more details, I'll try to
  provide them.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1787645] [NEW] Most, but not all, boots from cold, I get a Low Graphics Mode error

2018-08-17 Thread Roger Davis
Public bug reported:

After an update (kernel?), I have begun to receive the message "Running
in Low Graphics Mode" at boot. I can tell it to use Default setting from
the options it offers, and get by it, after which things look and work
normally until a reboot, which may or may not occur correctly.

If I select extra graphics debug messages and display boot messages in
Xdiagnose, this problem DOES NOT occur.  If I deselect those, the
problem begins again.

I don't know which update caused it, but it was somewhere around mid or
early May.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1772386] Re: message - Low Graphics mode - about 2/3 of startups - not all

2018-08-08 Thread Roger Davis
I can't follow the above instruction, since before that date (6/5/18) I
have turned off all options in X-Diagnose, and the system boots every
time now.

BUT :
1) The boot process is now verbose, despite turning off all options, and I 
can't change this back to quiet, which could produce the problem again.
2) Occasionally upon reboot after a new kernel is installed, the system comes 
up in Ambiance theme, where I had it in Adwatia.  To get it back is not 
straighforward, I must either reboot into straight Ubuntu (not Gnome Flashback) 
and reset it, or cycle through the options a few times until it sticks.  This 
might be a clue?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1772386] Re: message - Low Graphics mode - about 2/3 of startups - not all

2018-06-05 Thread Roger Davis
Today, with Xdiagnose unused, I again had an error message "Running in
Low Graphics Mode", after about a dozen starts with no problem.

I again engaged Xdiagnose, checked the top 3 boxes about functions, and
also engaged "Disable bootloader graphics".

Back to checking results...

A) Regarding your comment:
>"sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-16.04 
>xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04"

That doesn't confirm you are booted into the HWE kernel. That only shows
that certain packages are installed (which you provided already in a
previous comment).

If you want to demonstrate what kernel is being using currently type:
uname -a
roger@roger-desktop:~$ uname -a
Linux roger-desktop 4.13.0-43-generic #48~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 17

Sounds good.

B) Regarding your comment:
>"...actually causes a problem in my system. It sets and locks the theme to 
>Ambiance, even though the setting properly shows Adwaita."

Could be a bug, but that isn't the scope of this report. If you want it
fixed, you would have to file a new report.

C) Regarding your comment:
>"Please tell me before I deal with this if this is possibly something done by 
>Xdiagnose..."

Given you don't recall doing it, it was done by Xdiagnose when you
checked its checkboxes.

Roger Davis:

a) You are responding multiple times to the same comment, causing confusion. 
Hence, it is best if you looked at the bug report (not email inbox) to confirm 
if you have already responded, and use the website to respond (not send emails):
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1772386

It is helpful if you use the website to "Hide" the duplicate comments
(#6, #9,  and #11) so others don't get confused.

b) Regarding your comment:
>"I'll hold off on filing a bug on Xdiagnose..."

Agreed. If you are using non-default kernel parameters, a potential
response would be "don't do that". However, if you have to use them so
the scope of this report doesn't happen, that's a different story.

- I'm not familiar with that line.  I can guess two possibilities:
- - Something very old in the system, perhaps done to deal with an earlier

- - Some connection with Xdiagnose, which I have been experimenting with

4) "If you remove the non-default kernel parameters does this influence the

Please tell me before I deal with this if this is possibly something done by

Title:
  message - Low Graphics mode - about 2/3 of startups - not all

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After a recent update (kernel?), I have begun to occasionally receive
  the message "Running in Low Graphics Mode" at boot (maybe half the
  time). I can tell it to use Default setting from the options it
  offers, and get by it, after which things look and work normally until
  a reboot, which may or may not occur correctly.

  I also usually get "System error detected, Report? at the same time,
  so I agree to report it.

1) I cannot tell which update caused this.

2) Not sure how to boot to previous kernels, especially not wanting to
fowl up my settings.

Or do you mean results as to boot with no problems?  - No change to that
on earlier experience, but now after additional other updates, and using
Xdiagnose with various settings, I haven't seen a boot problem for a few
updates.  I will continue to monitor for a few days to assure that
problem is really gone.

In retrospect, it appears likely to me that there was a borderline
timing problem in the boot sequence, and something in the meantime
(almost daily updates, or ???) may have changed that, or maybe I've just
been lucky the past 8 or 10 tries.  Continued watching is appropriate.

Also, the command " sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-
generic-hwe-16.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04 "  actually causes a problem in
my system.  It sets and locks the theme to Ambiance, even though the
setting properly shows Adwaita.  It will not allow the theme to be reset
until I reboot into Unity desktop which then allows it to reset properly
to Adwaita.  I don't know if this is a bug, or just the way it works for
diagnostic purposes.  If it's just the way it works, it should be
described in the documentation along with the fix.  If it's a bug, I'll
leave it to others for now.

Roger Davis:

1) To clarify, when using the upgraded HWE stack, did this influence the
reported issue "message - Low Graphics mode - about 2/3 of startups -
not all"?

2) To narrow down, could you please provide the output of the following 
terminal command (not manually attach anything found):
ls -la /var/crash

3) To confirm, is there a reason you are using the non-default kernel 
parameters (i.e. WORKAROUND a problem):
plymouth:debug drm.debug=0xe nopat vesafb.invalid=1

4) If you remove the non-default kernel parameters does this influence the 
reported issue:
plymouth:debug drm.debug=0xe nopat vesafb.invalid=1

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1772386] [NEW] message - Low Graphics mode - about 2/3 of startups - not all

2018-05-21 Thread Roger Davis
Public bug reported:

After a recent update (kernel?), I have begun to occasionally receive
the message "Running in Low Graphics Mode" at boot (maybe half the
time). I can tell it to use Default setting from the options it offers,
and get by it, after which things look and work normally until a reboot,
which may or may not occur correctly.

I also usually get "System error detected, Report? at the same time, so
I agree to report it.

Please note that I'm using 16.04 (fully updated), Gnome Flashback
Metacity, with [AMD/ATI] Cape Verde PRO [Radeon HD 7750/8740 / R7 250E]
. This problem shows up no matter which of the above I'm using, or
Unity.

I have found a WORK-AROUND. Using x-diagnose, I selected all options
under both Debug and Workarounds.  After this, all works normally every
time.  However, I take this as a crutch, not a fix, and think other
action should be taken

Selecting "View Errors" shows no errors, so I never tried reporting from
that point.

This gives me a presumption that there is a bug in coding that interacts
badly with my system and a few others like it, which I encountered in my
search for a solution.

Also, if I simply go to 18.04 (I don't really want to just yet.) will it
likely fix this or might this block or damage the upgrade?

1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> 
About Ubuntu
roger@roger-desktop:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description:Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS
Release:16.04

2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or 
by checking in Software Center
roger@roger-desktop:~$ apt-cache policy pkgname
N: Unable to locate package pkgname
ALSO - I'm unable to locate this information in Software Center

3) What you expected to happen
Normal boot, no errors or problems

4) What happened instead
"Running in Low Graphics Mode" displayed, along with subsequent "System Error 
Detected" messages

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1756501] Re: Ubuntu Firefox Desktop icon is HUGE (about 5 times normal) after update to 59.0 (64-bit) Ubuntu canonical build, can't resize by any normal method.

2018-03-22 Thread Roger Davis
How long until the fix shows up in a real-world update, or will that
even happen in a way that will fix the current installation?

If not, how can I fix this directly ?  If I manually put different size
icons into the apps folders eg /usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps, will
the normal resizing now work?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1346435] Re: Cannot enter name for new folder, can't make folder

2015-02-28 Thread Roger Davis
I'm confused by this. The fix was a setting problem, and I was informed
a long time ago. Moribius1 nailed it on July 21st, in the page
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2235440&p=13078735#post13078735
, also referencing
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfe/+bug/1029256 . Fixed by :
System Settings > Language Support > Keyboard Input Method System > From
IBUS to None: Apparently a setting changed in 14.04 defaults from
earlier Ubuntu versions?

It works fine now, just rechecked it. Definitely NOT a BIOS problem.

I don't have the latest BIOS, but I also don't know of any bugs that
affect operations. Everything seems to work fine. Where can I see info
on the Ubuntu problems with this BIOS?

Just for reference, here is the output from the command sudo dmidecode -s 
bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date :

  Minicom and Efax-gtk will not work.  Both appear to iniatialize, but
  no further function, no response to modem commands given, etc.  I'm
  NOT trying to connect to an ISP right now, I just want to use it with
  eFax-GTK.

  This exact same modem and computer worked together very well until
  recently.  There had been several updates, including Ubuntu before it
  just quit working.

  This modem works fine in Windoze, SAME machine, just switched to
  Ubuntu 12.04 drive by mechanical switch. I can go back and forth,
  always works in Windoze, never in Ubuntu.

  Modem will attempt to answer an incoming call, but can't be sure about
  function since I don't have another modem to call with.

  I have come to the conclusion that there is very likely a problem
  within the updated Ubuntu that prevents proper modem communication.

  IN MINICOM :
  Welcome to minicom 2.5
  OPTIONS: I18n
  Compiled on May 2 2011, 10:05:24.
  Port /dev/ttyS4
  Press CTRL-A Z for help on special keys
  Nothing further will be shown, no matter what keyboard input, etc. - except 
it will respond to CTL-A and Z, which are not modem responses

  IN EFAX-GTK :

2012-11-10 Thread Roger Davis
If I understand correctly, wvdial is a PPP intended to connect to an
ISP.

This is not the point of difficulty.  The point of difficulty is the
breakdown of primary communication with the modem, well before the time
of connecting with an ISP.

The modem will simply not respond at all in minicom or Efax-gtk, whereas
it works fine in Windoze.  An "AT" command in minicom gets absolutely no
response.  Efax-gtk simply will not dial at all.  I can't certify even
that initialization is occurring on either of the above, because there
is nothing returned from the modem to indicate that it is or is not
initialized.

This seems to me to point to a fault in the basic communication with the
modem, not higher level communications to an outside connection.

Thanks!

  Minicom and Efax-gtk will not work.  Both appear to iniatialize, but
  no further function, no response to modem commands given, etc.  I'm
  NOT trying to connect to an ISP right now, I just want to use it with
  eFax-GTK.

  This exact same modem and computer worked together very well until
  recently.  There had been several updates, including Ubuntu before it
  just quit working.

  This modem works fine in Windoze, SAME machine, just switched to
  Ubuntu 12.04 drive by mechanical switch. I can go back and forth,
  always works in Windoze, never in Ubuntu.

  Modem will attempt to answer an incoming call, but can't be sure about
  function since I don't have another modem to call with.

  I have come to the conclusion that there is very likely a problem
  within the updated Ubuntu that prevents proper modem communication.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 515057] Re: does not remember the adjustments of extra pane

2011-11-12 Thread Roger Davis
I tried the "open two instances" idea.  It's a no-go unless you have
infinite patience for adjusting window size and positions, and don't
mind wasting the space for the fourth (second / extra) "places? column
or covering it with the left side screen, and bouncing around to keep it
covered.  This almost falls under the category of "How to keep an idiot
busy", except it's not quite a real infinite loop, just many iterations
of "move this", "adjust that", "do the other...".

Pushing f3 is "only" one additional step, where there should be no extra
steps.


I think it's a real waste of time to not have the option to default to two 
windows at startup.  It's only a preference, and Nautilus will open as a single 
window if it's not checked as a preference!

nautilus . && /usr/bin/xvkbd -xsendevent -text '\[F3]'   doesn't work,
the $#@%^& thing still opens with a single window open.

Am I missing something else?
