[Bug 26294] Re: Ubuntu is missing the alsa-firmware package

2015-04-02 Thread Angus Kerr
Ttoine,

Answer 5 years later (!), but yes. Only needed to install the fiirmware
(and have done so again with 14.04.2). For my sound card, where I don't
think that the firmware has changed, it would appear that it's fine to
have the alsa drivers and firmware at different versions. I presume this
would not be the case for newer sound cards.

Still appears that the problem surrounding this discussion remains: no
alsa-firmware package. And the Medibuntu option is no longer available.

[Bug 805232] Re: linux-image-2.6.38-8-server Missing lirc_i2c Kernel Module

2011-09-13 Thread Angus Kerr
Unfortunately, ir-kbd-i2c did not work properly with my remote control
(there was a spate of other users at the time using 9.04) who had the
same problem. udev hooked the device before lirc could get it. I could
not stop this from happening, and now on 11.04, my device is not
recognised at all by ir-kdb-i2c.

Why remove lirc_i2c if it's still doing something useful?

[Bug 655512] Re: /dev/lirc0 disappeared after upgrade from 2.6.35-20 to -22

2011-09-13 Thread Angus Kerr
Hi

I have just encountered the same problem after installing the DKMS
modules lirc-modules-source (v 0.8.7-0ubuntu4.1)

I have a double whammy now, because the default kernel 2.6.38-8 and
2.6.38.11 does not have lirc_i2c driver installed which I need to get my
remote to work, and the following info is quoted from the lirc project:

[quote] lirc-0.8.7 has been tested with kernel versions up to 2.6.35. Older 
versions should also work. 2.4.x kernels are not supported anymore, but chances 
are good that it's still working. The last release officially supporting 2.4.x 
was 0.8.2. Please don't report problems with compilation on 2.4.x kernels. 
2.2.x kernels are not supported anymore.
>From 2.6.36 on all LIRC kernel drivers are already included in the kernel. 
>There has been a slight interface change in the LIRC ioctls that will affect 
>64-bit kernels. For recent kernels please only use 0.9.0 which is compatilbe 
>with the in-kernel drivers.[/quote]

So the old stale package is still in the repository, even though it is
not compatible with the new in-kernel drivers.

[Bug 598253] Re: automount of usb devices does not work in 10.04 (Ubuntu and Mythbuntu)

2010-06-24 Thread Angus Kerr
OK, it seems this bug is already fixed. On installation of updates,
things have returned to normal.

But imho, not a good bug to be in a LTS release, where every fresh
install from the CD is tainted.

Will not be advising people to use this release until 10.10

[Bug 598253] [NEW] automount of usb devices does not work in 10.04 (Ubuntu and Mythbuntu)

2010-06-24 Thread Angus Kerr
Public bug reported:

On a fresh install of Mythbuntu 10.04 i386:

Automount does not work. Inserting a USB drive does not bring up a
desktop icon. It also does not show up in Thunar file manager.

Mounting the device manually works (i.e. sudo mount /dev/sd*1
/media/disk) , but only root access is allowed. Also, running thunar as
root does not work, and browsing of the device as user is not allowed.
It is sporadic at best as root (only allows one level of drill down and
then no others).

Fixes have been mentioned, like modprobe -r floppy, and removing the
bios floppy entry, as well as removing floppy from /etc/fstab. On my
setup, none of these was in effect (i.e. floppy module not loaded,
floppy not enabled in bios, and removing the module had no effect).

http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/fix-usb-devices-automount-not-working.html
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1470705


The only way to interact with removable media is via a root terminal. Very 
annoying indeed.

I don't know if this is a duplicate bug, but I can't see a specific bug
filed. There are lots of threads with people having a similar problem in
the Ubuntu forums. Sadly, this will not fix the problem at source.

The problem also seems to be in Ubuntu 10.04.

It seems to be unrelated to hardware. I have run live cd sessions
(Mythbuntu and Ubuntu) on at least 3 different machines, and the problem
is evident on all of them.

It seems to be related to Bug #539515, but that bug relates to boot up
delays.

It seems like one of the coolest features of Ubuntu, which I have been
using since 6.06, has been broken. Please fix, this cripples Mythbuntu
quite horribly.

By the way, what one expects to happen is for the usb media to pop up on
the desktop, and for the user with normal privileges to be able to
browse, delete, read and write files (which is what it was like since
6.06).

Just hit the same issue after installing a clean 10.04 Ubuntu Studio with an 
EMU-1212 card. Grabbed the tarball from the alsa website and installed the old 
fashioned way.

After the initial glitch of the firmware missing, I am very impressed
with the distro.

Feels very steady, graphics are great with the Nvidia restricted driver.
Would be great if the firmware issue was resolved and distributed with
the base system.

[Bug 348600] Re: 8.10 installs, on reboot get Error 15

2009-05-06 Thread Angus Kerr
I think this bug is the same that I reported in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/371062

The most likely problem is that you selected VNC as an additional
service, and used non-alphanumeric characters in your password. This
crashes the installer when it configures vnc before it installs grub.

The solution is to not select vnc during installation, or select it and
choose a password that only has alphanumeric characters in it.

Hope this helps.

Hi There


I have posted a workaround here:
http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?t=116504


You should be able to get going after following this post. I agree that
the kernel upgrade will not fix the problem - but it's worth a try!




>>> Indigo42 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 02/09/08 08:42 >>>

Sorry...need to clarify.


I will try the kernel upgrade, I can't afford to run an Alpha on this

box.


Where would I find the Kernel package?


Thanks,

[Bug 46470] Re: System freeze with white screen

2008-04-30 Thread Angus Kerr
This is still an issue with Gutsy and Hardy.

The workaround still applies. I am concerned that a lot of new users
will be put off because of this and other driver related
issues..Like with Gutsy the boot CD - X works in 640x480 mode. In
Hardy, X is broken and you need to boot up in failsafe mode and then
enable the protected driver.

I believe that it will affect a lot of users with built-in ATI Graphics
cards. I have seen a lot of activity regarding the issue.

I will try this with Gentoo and other distros and report back.

[Bug 46470] Re: System freeze with white screen

2007-10-03 Thread Angus Kerr
Hi

I have the same issue with Feisty (7.04) wih kernel 2.6.20 and all
updates installed.

System freezes to a white screen a few minutes after launch of Firefox
(also up-to-date). The only recovery option is a hard reset. I have not
looked at logs to see what happened in the kernel.

Disabling powernowd (sudo chmod -x /etc/init.d/powernowd) did nothing to
help - the problem is still there. I am running an elitegroup ECS RS-482
Motherboard with built in ATI 200 Graphics card and AMD64 3500 proc.

System is currently unusable (but is rock-steady under Windows XP - runs
for weeks not requiring a reboot). Would love to dump Windows, but need
a stable Ubuntu system. I am considering other options - (Gentoo did not
seem to have this problem)

Please keep this bug open. And anything else I can do on my side to get
to the bottom of this and get the issue resolved.

Thanks
