[Bug 444818] Re: External disk won't spindown
Oh well, spoke a little too soon - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=522859 seems to indicate *some* scsi commands do indeed, or have at some point required read-write. In any case that does not seem to be the case for sdparm -C stop. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #522859 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=522859 -- External disk won't spindown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444818 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 117713] Re: WD external drives need to be spun down, "sdparm --command=stop" doesn't work any more
I am pretty sure this bug is the same as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sdparm/+bug/444818 although the success reports with the posted scripts in earlier comments are confusing as they should not be working if that is the case. In any case that one should prevent all USB disks from spinning down when issued with the stop command and can be easily fixed by patching sdparm/sg_start to not open the device in read-write mode as I described in that bug's comments. -- WD external drives need to be spun down, "sdparm --command=stop" doesn't work any more https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117713 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 444818] Re: External disk won't spindown
I did some further investigation. This is *exactly* the same issue as with hdparm. sg_start and sdparm both open the device file in read-write (O_RDWR) mode even though they only need to do it on read-only in order to do ioctls. Ubuntu's udev configuration watches the device files for being closed by a program that had them in open in O_RDWR mode and runs a helper which inspects the disk to add more information about the for udev. This triggers the disk to spin up right after it had been sent the command to spin down. The solution is to change sg3-utils & sdparm to open on read only as they should have done to begin with. I tried it by compiling a version of sg_start with that modification and it worked as expected. It's hard to believe that this wouldn't have been done by any distribution after all this time. -- External disk won't spindown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444818 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 444818] Re: External disk won't spindown
This doesn't occur only with sdparm but also sg_start from sg3-utils. My LaCie external HD has the same issue both on a Karmic desktop and a Jaunty server. Problem seems to be related to udev as the copying of a modified udev rules file to /etc/udev/rules.d temporarily while running the commands as suggested in #117713 seems to work although seems a very unreliable solution. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hdparm/+bug/388506 also seems like a somewhat similar issue that was affecting hdparm. -- External disk won't spindown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444818 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 238261] Re: gedit crash on save as
I had this exact problem, on amd64 and right after doing an upgrade to Hardy from the previous release. Removing .gtk-bookmarks fixed it, I'll attach my .gtk-bookmarks here as well. It looks quite different from the one already here... ** Attachment added: "gtkbookmarks" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15859715/gtkbookmarks -- gedit crash on save as https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/238261 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've got the same issue after a fresh upgrade to Hardy. I've tried to produce a valgrind log with the symbols you need, please let me know if it helps. It's from Rhythmbox, trying to do "Add folder" triggers the crash. ** Attachment added: "Valgrind log from Rhythmbox" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15358822/valgrind.log -- GTK2 Open File Dialog causes crash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207598 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
