[Touch-packages] [Bug 1278223] Re: Mouse Flickering after adding 3rd Monitor

2017-09-06 Thread D. Charles Pyle
I had the latest DisplayLink driver and it still did the same thing to
me.  And it gets worse than that.  No errors are generated but the speed
is so slow it is almost unbearable whenever the DisplayLink device is in
use.  I could click the icon for Files to launch Nautilus from the Unity
favorites bar, and it would not appear for almost two whole minutes!
Disconnect the device and reboot, and all was fine with the world--
except that it wasn't.  I could not use my third monitor to do editing
work.

Unfortunately, it became easier just to remove Ubuntu from my system and
move to another distribution that does work with DisplayLink devices.
There were serious problems with power saving, too.  Suspend would crash
the machine rather than suspend to memory, and this was on a system that
I purchased because it was certified for Ubuntu!

In Fedora, the distribution I now am using exclusively, I still see
flickering when the mouse is moved to the top of the screen but the
flickering is bearable compared to the ungodly slowness on the screen
with that flickering, in Ubuntu 16.04.2.  I do not know what the problem
is on Ubuntu with DisplayLink devices but it was too unbearable, and
that is unfortunate because I really liked working in Ubuntu, with Unity
being my chosen interface.  But I hear that even Unity will be going
away.

I hope that one day the display bugs involving DisplayLink displays will
be fixed.  Until then, if I want to get work done, and not have to spend
time waiting between mouse clicks and app launches, I have to go
elsewhere for at least the time being.

Unfortunately, I have ceased using Windows XP, and the computer from

using a DisplayLink device to give me a third screen rather than using
VNC to access a virtual machine from another machine to do it.

  I am having a problem with GUFW.  I have it set to block incoming
  connections from everything.  I then set rules to allow incoming
  connections from a VNC client on my local network to a VMWare Player
  VNC setup but no matter what I do with those rules, I cannot connect
  to the VNC server on my machine unless I change the setting for my
  profile to Allow for everything.  Making and applying rules has no
  effect if the "Incoming" setting at the top of the application is set
  to Deny or Reject.

  The only other option is to turn off the firewall entirely for a
  moment for the VNC client to connect, and then turn it back on again
  once a connection is established.  Allowing all incoming connections
  for even a few moments just to use VNC on one port is a security risk.

2016-08-29 Thread D. Charles Pyle
Same here.  Ubuntu 16.04.  ASUSTek Radeon HD 5750 Formula card and
Sabrent DisplayLink, with Dual Dell S2440L monitors connected to the
ASUSTek card and a ViewSonic VX922 monitor connected to the Sabrent
device via native DVI.  Heavy flickering on the mouse cursor with
updating of the DisplayLink device.  I have it set up so I can see the
blinking light and notice that when it flickers the mouse cursor
flickers on both the primary display and the secondary display, but not
the one connected to the DisplayLink device.  No flickering there at
all.  Another problem is that responsiveness seems slower on the other
displays since connecting the DisplayLink device.  I ran the Unity
Support test and it shows that Unity is supported.

$ /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p
OpenGL vendor string:   X.Org
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD JUNIPER (DRM 2.43.0, LLVM 3.8.0)
OpenGL version string:  3.0 Mesa 11.2.0

Not software rendered:yes
Not blacklisted:  yes
GLX fbconfig: yes
GLX texture from pixmap:  yes
GL npot or rect textures: yes
GL vertex program:yes
GL fragment program:  yes
GL vertex buffer object:  yes
GL framebuffer object:yes
GL version is 1.4+:   yes

Unity 3D supported:   yes

It is really seeming to bog down the performance of the system's other
displays.  It does not do that on Mac OS X or on Windows 7 or on Windows
10.  Even typing has been slowed down noticeably.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 204908] Re: World clock applet lacks country Iraq

2016-08-18 Thread D. Charles Pyle
OK, final posting (I could not find a way to edit older posts or I would
have just done that instead of multi-posting).  A whole lot was wrong
(some my fault; got a splitting headache at the moment giving me a bit
of brain fog) but I am also attaching a text file of the weather
stations listed in a file from the NOAA.  The four letter code for the
weather station at Baghdad International Airport is ORBB, which I took
out of that file just now.  The snippet of text to use in instruction
number 3 is as follows:

  

Baghdad
33.2625008 44.2346001

  Baghdad International Airport
  ORBB
  33.2625008 44.2346001

  

This should work with both the gnome-clocks app and the gnome-weather
app.  Information in the NOAA list I attach to this post can be used to
make a few more additional Iraqi locations with a little bit of effort
at converting the coordinates data.

Here is a workaround:

1. Open /usr/share/libgweather/Locations.xml as an Administrator using
gedit or your other favorite text editor.

2. Find the following text:


  
  Iraq
  
  IQ
  IZ
  

  
  Asia/Baghdad
 

3. Insert the following just between Asia/Baghdad and
:

 

Baghdad
29.56 34.951667

  Baghdad International Air
  SDA
  33.318279 44.416667

  

4. Save the file.

This will give you at least Baghdad and gnome-clocks will display the
correct time and allow you to find the city in the list.  Others can be
created and inserted as needed.  I am also adding the XML Iraq entry  in
my location file as an attachment in case the text does not display
correctly above when posted.

Same problems as above hit me today after an update on my Ubuntu 14.04.3
LTS machine.  After applying updates, networking ceased to function.

Downgraded libnl* and now networking is working again.

Luckily I was able to do the downgrade by first using recovery options
at boot from GRuB.  From there I enabled networking, and then I resumed
booting.  Networking lasted long enough to do the downgrade (per
instructions above), followed by a reboot of the system.

All is working now, and I am waiting for the coming network-manager
update to fix the problem.

 machine under libvirt, which is a user of this library.

   * Backporting fixes from upstream release fixes a real bug in the
 current version of the library in Trusty.  The alternative is for all
 applications to manually manage their local port allocation, or as
 upstream has accepted allowing libnl to attempt to try for other
 local ports.

   * All patches applied are already accepted upstream and newer Ubuntu
 releases are not affected.

  [Test Case]

   * On a Trusty 14.04 system
 1. sudo apt-get install libnl-3-200 libnl-3-dev libnl-3-dev \
 libnl-genl-3-dev libnl-route-3-200 \
 make gcc build-essential libnl1
 2. download and unpack attachment: lp_1511735_test.tar
 3. Run testcases:

  % if ./example.sh; then echo "libnl OK"; else echo "libnl FAILED"; fi 
  gcc -o example -I/usr/include/libnl3 example.c -lnl-3 -lnl-genl-3
  set manually the local port to 6975 (pid: 6974)
  local port has been set by the libnl to 6975 (pid: 6975)
  ERROR: genl_connect(): Object exists (local port: 6975, pid: 6975)
  libnl FAILED
  % python libnl3-test-rh1249158.py a b c d
  ulimit(NOFILE) = (2048, 4096)
  Test: PID=6978
  TEST (a)...
  Traceback (most recent call last):
File "libnl3-test-rh1249158.py", line 226, in 
  locals()["TEST_" + arg]()
File "libnl3-test-rh1249158.py", line 140, in TEST_a
  sk = nl_get_socket()
File "libnl3-test-rh1249158.py", line 115, in nl_get_socket
  raise IOError(-err, _nl_geterror())
  OSError: [Errno 6] b'Unspecific failure'

 4. After applying the updated packages:

  % if ./example.sh; then echo "libnl OK"; else echo "libnl FAILED"; fi
  gcc -o example -I/usr/include/libnl3 example.c -lnl-3 -lnl-genl-3
  set manually the local port to 11295 (pid: 11294)
  local port has been set by the libnl to 2894081055 (pid: 11295)
  libnl OK
  % python libnl3-test-rh1249158.py a b c d
  ulimit(NOFILE) = (2048, 4096)
  Test: PID=11296
  TEST (a)...
  ...done
  TEST (b)...
  ...done
  TEST (c)...
  ...done
  TEST (d)...
  ...done
