[Bug 434071] Re: Brightness hotkeys not working on MacBook 5, 2 and 4, 1

2009-11-28 Thread Alex Karpenko
You need the nvidia-bl-dkms package installed AFAIK. I think pommed has
been deprecated, so I would suggest removing it. This may be of some
help (even though it's for Macbook5,1):
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook5-1/Intrepid

You can get to guides for other macbook models from that link, though
some guides are less detailed.

Hi Chris,

A quick launchpad search reveals that there are a couple of bugs open on
this. You may want to comment on this one:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mouseemu/+bug/251830

I'm able to confirm this issue for all recent macbook and macbook pro
models. Frankly, it seems to me that mouseemu should be an opt-in rather
than an opt-out deal. Though the hardware detection could be amended in
the installer scripts to fix this issue (not a fan of this option as I
can foresee this bug resurfacing with a new revision of the hardware).

2009-02-26 Thread Alex Karpenko
Hello Alex,

The bug you have referred us to has been fixed. It seems to me that the
issue is specific to your setup. If you would like your bug to be
resolved, please provide additional information so that the problem can
be identified. It would be useful to know at which point the
installation fails, what errors (if any) are printed, how you partition
your drive, which boot manager you use (and anything else that you deem
would *actually* be useful to fixing your problem).

Please understand that it is unreasonable to expect the wiki to be
amended with: this release is absolutely inappropriate for installation
from LiveCD on a Macbook Pro 3,1 Santa Rosa., when you in fact seem to
be the only one who has made this claim so far.

Regards,
Alex K.

This is a known issue with all nvidia drivers. From what I understand
the driver assigns unique refresh rates to different displays in order

Hello Sebastien,

It turns out I had Check incoming messages for junk enabled in

disabled for all accounts in Mail Accounts. Now I don't experience this

I wouldn't call this fixed though. First instead of piling on error

[Bug 290030] Re: Do not scrobble (add to last.fm library) radio songs

2008-11-08 Thread Alex Karpenko
In an effort to move this along, I've patched banshee myself. I've attached a 
screenshot of what my change looks like. I am not fully satisfied with this 
solution, because as it turns out the original song reporting GUI option 
performed two tasks:
1. It reports a song as Now Playing to last.fm
2. It scrobbles the song when the song has finished playing

It's probably sensible to decouple the two to allow the user to report
all songs now playing, but to scrobble only local tracks or only radio
tracks or both. So I propose to change the Last.fm menu to contain the
following options:

   Report Tracks as Now Playing
   Scrobble Local Tracks
   Scrobble Radio Tracks

instead of the current Enable Song Reporting option which toggles all
of the above at once.

I'd like to get some input from banshee developers before I proceed with
creating a patch.

[Bug 267497] Re: MASTER support for connection sharing missing - Was: networkmanager offers no simple function to make one computer's internet connection available to other computers, using Wi-Fi / WL

2008-11-06 Thread Alex Karpenko
Hello Alexander,

Internet Sharing cannot be currently configured without falling back to
the command line in GNOME. Network Sharing can indeed be enabled with
the network manager applet, but that does not set up internet sharing.

The official ubuntu wiki guide currently requires command line black magic:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing

There is a blueprint that requests one click internet connection sharing (just 
like network sharing), but it is not implemented so far:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneClickInternetSharing

I've been successful in setting up network sharing in Intrepid using the
network manager applet, and the two computers could see each other,
however I couldn't get internet sharing to work (even using the
commandline), and so I gave up and booted into OS X. In OS X, you check
Internet Connection Sharing in System Preferences, and give the
network a name and optionally a password. That is all that is required.

Could this bug be reopened for the above reasons?

2008-10-28 Thread Alex Karpenko
Hello Andrew,

I wasn't very clear. What I meant was that song reporting should only be
enabled for local tracks but not tracks from the radio. Currently
enabling song reporting also scrobbles the radio. This is undesired as
most radio tracks (from last.fm and from internet radio stations) I do
not want to be scrobbled, while I *do* want local tracks (part of *my*
library) to be scrobbled.

So what I propose is to have two options in Tools  Last.fm:
1. Enable Local Song Reporting
2. Enable Radio Song Reporting

[Bug 290030] [NEW] Do not scrobble (add to last.fm library) radio songs

2008-10-27 Thread Alex Karpenko
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: banshee

Some recommended songs from the last.fm radio are good and some are not.
I do not want my last.fm library to be cluttered with songs I don't like
just because I decided to listen to last.fm's recommendations. The
iPhone last.fm application allows disabling of radio scrobbling (adding
to library). In a similar vein banshee should offer an option to not
scrobble recommended songs by last.fm. This could also apply to internet
radio stations (since you probably don't want to add most songs on the
radio to your library).

This option can be added under:
Tools  Last.fm  Enable Radio Scrobbling (Reporting)

[Bug 201887] Re: Slim USB Apple Keyboard not working correctly when pressing the numlock key

2008-07-23 Thread Alex Karpenko
The first thing I do on a keyboard with a numeric pad, is to enable the
numeric functionality. I always thought that having it act as a
directional pad by default is counter intuitive. I mean, I expect the
fraction of people who use it as a directional pad to be very small
compared to the number of people who use it as a number pad.

So personally, I would prefer if the default was switched to a number
pad on all keyboards (isn't that the default behaviour on OSX and
Windows anyway?!)

However, I'm leaning toward the argument that there should be no special
treatment for the apple keyboard, though I'm on the fence on this one :)

[Bug 248230] Re: F5 and F6 keys on Macbook Air (and possibly other macbooks)

2008-07-13 Thread Alex Karpenko
I can confirm the bug, and that the fix resolves the issue. The keyboard layout 
for Macbook Pros and Macbook Airs can be viewed here: 
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1117
It should also be noted that KEY_FN_F* produce no keycodes (according to xev), 
which means that previously no secondary functionality could be defined for 
F4-F6.

Currently input.h does not define a keycode for the dashboard key
(fn+F4), IMHO this should be fixed by either defining a new keycode, or
picking an existing sensible substitute (this will at least allow the
user to remap the key functionality using keyboard shortcuts).

[Bug 239115] Re: The NVIDIA driver in the lrm-envy doesn't support Geforce 9xxx

2008-06-19 Thread Alex Karpenko
This driver also fixes some 2D rendering regressions in 169.12 which seems to 
affect quite a few people, see first and last post here:

The new driver works fine on a Geforce 8600 GT.

zkennan,

Are you using the dynamic fix, or have you compiled a custom kernel with the 
patch applied?
Your keyboard device id has not changed so things should work. Note, in order 
to change brightness etc you need to install pommed 1.16+.

Perhaps your problem is related to eitan's. We have the same keyboards, but it 
works fine for me with the latest updates.
If you're running Ubuntu 64bit, you can try the hid module I've attached above.

I suspect the dynamic quirk is overridden by some configuration specific
to your setup.

[Bug 207127] Re: fn key doesn't work in hardy with macbook pro fourth generation (4, 1)

2008-05-21 Thread Alex Karpenko
Okay, I did some more digging regarding the F4-F6 keys: turns out older
macbooks had no secondary functionality for those keys, so the lookup
table in drivers/hid/hid-input.c reads:

static struct hidinput_key_translation apple_fn_keys[] = {
{ KEY_BACKSPACE, KEY_DELETE },
{ KEY_F1,   KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN, APPLE_FLAG_FKEY },
{ KEY_F2,   KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP,   APPLE_FLAG_FKEY },
{ KEY_F3,   KEY_CYCLEWINDOWS,   APPLE_FLAG_FKEY }, /* Exposé */
{ KEY_F4,   KEY_FN_F4,  APPLE_FLAG_FKEY }, /* Dashboard 
*/
{ KEY_F5,   KEY_FN_F5 },
{ KEY_F6,   KEY_FN_F6 },
{ KEY_F7,   KEY_BACK,   APPLE_FLAG_FKEY },
{ KEY_F8,   KEY_PLAYPAUSE,  APPLE_FLAG_FKEY },
{ KEY_F9,   KEY_FORWARD,APPLE_FLAG_FKEY },
{ KEY_F10,  KEY_MUTE,   APPLE_FLAG_FKEY },
{ KEY_F11,  KEY_VOLUMEDOWN, APPLE_FLAG_FKEY },
{ KEY_F12,  KEY_VOLUMEUP,   APPLE_FLAG_FKEY },
{ KEY_UP,   KEY_PAGEUP },
{ KEY_DOWN, KEY_PAGEDOWN },
{ KEY_LEFT, KEY_HOME },
{ KEY_RIGHT,KEY_END },
{ }
};

Changing the F4, F5 lines to:
{ KEY_F5,   KEY_KBDILLUMDOWN,   APPLE_FLAG_FKEY },
{ KEY_F6,   KEY_KBDILLUMUP, APPLE_FLAG_FKEY },

Adds the desired functionality (that is you get key codes in xev when
pressing fn+F5/F6). However, it does not affect the backlight state of
my keyboard (running pommed 1.18).

Key observations:
KEY_FN_F* does not produce key codes in xev.
KEY_KBDILLUMUP, KEY_KBDILLUMDOWN seems to be the correct setting for fn+F5, 
fn+F6. Looking at the source, no constant seems to have been defined for the 
dashboard key... APPLE_FLAG_FKEY specifies the default key state.

This cannot be fixed dynamically. As it's unrelated to the fn key
problem I won't add it to the above patch. However, I've included a
compiled hid module for amd64, with the above changes (it also has my
patch applied so the fn key will work out of the box without the dynamic
quirk).

I consider the fn key problem fixed. Hopefully someone with more
experience than me will commit this patch to the source so that it makes
it into the next update cycle ;)

Paco,

Could you please attach the Info.plist file located on your OS X partition:
/System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBTopCase.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBTCKeyboard.kext/Contents/Info.plist

Also execute the following command in Ubuntu at the shell:
lsusb -v  lsusb.txt

And attach the resulting lsusb.txt file.

2008-05-19 Thread Alex Karpenko
I've updated the patch to include Macbook Air keyboards as per the spec
in Info.plist.

The dynamic fix for Macbook Air is:
options usbhid 
quirks=0x05ac:0x0223:0x0800,0x05ac:0x0224:0x4800,0x05ac:0x0225:0x0800

Regarding the function keys, I can confirm your findings, but I believe
it's an issue with pommed, and not the hid module. Perhaps it's fixed in
pommed 1.17, but I've not tried compiling it.

Eitan, I can't reproduce the ~ problem. Is your keyboard ISO (as
specified in lsusb -v)?

[Bug 231920] Re: FN key does not work on macbook air

2008-05-19 Thread Alex Karpenko
It's slightly different; 0x0223 is the device ID of Macbook Air's ANSI 
keyboard, so that's where it starts:
options usbhid 
quirks=0x05ac:0x0223:0x0800,0x05ac:0x0224:0x4800,0x05ac:0x0225:0x0800

The problem with F4, F5 could be an issue with pommed, but I've not been
able to confirm...

I've submitted a patch that will fix fn for both macbook air and macbook pro 
4.1 keyboards:

[Bug 207127] Re: fn key doesn't work in hardy with macbook pro fourth generation (4, 1)

2008-05-18 Thread Alex Karpenko
Attached is a patch to fix the fn keys on all new Macbook Pros (v4,1). The 
naming scheme follows the one defined by Apple in:
/System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBTopCase.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBTCKeyboard.kext/Contents/Info.plist

The keyboard name is WellspringII, and the Device ID is 0x0230, 0x0231, 0x0232 
for ANSI, ISO, JIS respectively (as defined in Info.plist, and confirmed for 
ANSI and ISO by me and Scott).
Some debugging has been done using dynamically loaded quirks here: 
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4984452posted=1#post4984452

This patch simply adds the findings to hid-quirks.c, so that the
keyboard is recognized automatically in the future.

[Bug 207127] Re: fn key doesn't work in hardy with macbook pro fourth generation (4, 1)

2008-05-17 Thread Alex Karpenko
Ok I've figured it out. Working from the discussion here: http://www
.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg01343.html

We need to add 3 new device IDs for the new generation macbooks (the id varies 
depending on whether the keyboard is ansi, iso, or jis) for the apple vendor 
ID, which is: #define USB_VENDOR_ID_APPLE 0x05ac.
I propose to add the following to hid-quirks.c

#define USB_DEVICE_ID_APPLE_GEYSER5_ANSI0x0230/* i'm guessing this 
is correct, i need you to confirm this */
#define USB_DEVICE_ID_APPLE_GEYSER5_ISO0x0231
#define USB_DEVICE_ID_APPLE_GEYSER5_JIS 0x0232

Corresponding entries will have to be made inside hid_blacklist[] in the
same file (just a copypaste of the GEYSER4 entries). This way older
Macbook models will not be affected, and the new ones will work for all
those device IDs.

*** What I need from you: execute lsusb -v at the shell. And report the 
output for the block that contains:
   Bus 005 Device 003: ID 05ac:0230 Apple Computer, Inc.
...
  bInterfaceProtocol  1 Keyboard
...

Note your ID might not be 05ac:0230. I've attached the block for mine for 
reference.  The important line here is the device ID, and country code. For me 
it is:
bCountryCode   33 US

I'm guessing Scott's line will read:
   bCountryCode   13 International (ISO)

or something similar. Once I've confirmed the device IDs with your help,
I'll try to make a patch and submit it. We should also probably submit
it upstream as this is not exclusive to Ubuntu.

2008-05-17 Thread Alex Karpenko
I've detailed a proper fix that doesn't require patching/kernel recompile/or 
the compiled module I've provided above.
The fix is found here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4984452posted=1#post4984452

The fix loads the usbhid module with an option that adds the new DeviceID to 
the quirk list dynamically.
Sorry to spam this bug report. I'll move further discussion there.

The patch I outlined above should still be implemented so that in future
the keyboard is recognized automatically.

2008-05-16 Thread Alex Karpenko
For those who don't want to wait for an official patch, or compile their
own kernel, I've attached the recompiled hid module for amd64 hardy with
the above fix. Follow the instructions in the README and you should get
a functioning fn key ;)

Only tested on 15 Macbook Pro (penryn) running *64bit* Hardy. TRY AT
YOUR OWN RISK!

If some devs who have worked with hid quircks before could chime in with
suggestions as to how to add this fix to the kernel properly, I'd be
willing to write and and/or test the code.

This bug affects all new macbook pro models. It is imperative that it

I've been trying to build restricted modules for a custom hardy kernel,
