[Bug 1449051] Re: Upower doesn't handle bluetooth mice properly

2015-06-03 Thread Astor
redfox7691, i just installed new version of upower on 15.04.
all you need to do is:
1. download sources from 15.10 repo: 
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/wily/+source/upower
(https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/upower_0.99.3.orig.tar.xz)
2. unpack archive
3. check: you must have installed libusb-1.0-dev, and some dependencies.
4. ./configure
(by configuring sources - you can see what dependencies is actually you need, 
and just install -dev version of it)
5. sudo make
6. sudo make install
7. reboot and enjoy brand new icon for M557 mouse in the top right corner of 
screen.

Thanks to Martin, and other contrubutors.
My current status:

[Bug 371897] Re: Occasional sound drops in Wine via PulseAudio

2010-02-16 Thread Eric Astor
I'm hearing some very conflicting reports here, to tell the truth...
It's good to be hearing from a set of people for whom the winepulse
patchset hasn't fixed the problem. It's odd, though, that we're seeing
such different results. I'm starting to wonder if there might be
multiple underlying issues here.

As I've reported, I'm currently running Lucid x86-64, and was previously
running Karmic x86-64. I was previously able to duplicate sound-
stuttering issues in various games, when running Wine through the ALSA
interface of PulseAudio under Karmic, using Hardware Acceleration: Full
at all times. Running Lucid essentially out of the box, using the
default wine1.2 package (1.1.38-0ubuntu1) and an unchanged PulseAudio, I
see no such problems, and cannot duplicate problems in any of the games
that previously showed them, or in foobar2k. I haven't yet had the
chance to test Ventrilo as previously requested.

Ernst, I'm confused that you say that you haven't tested with Wine
1.1.38 yet, since it's currently the main Wine package in the Lucid
repositories, and has been for at least a week... Have you upgraded to
Lucid, or no? I was seeing persistent problems under Karmic, and no
longer see any under Lucid, including in foobar2k - absent further data,
I've been assuming that the new version of PulseAudio in Lucid has fixed
the issue for me.

Scott, thanks very much for responding to this - I appreciate it. This
is a stupid question - but when you tested the winepulse packages, you
did remember to switch the option in winecfg to select the PulseAudio
driver, rather than the ALSA driver? I only ask because the behavior
you're talking about sounds awfully like my own testing results while
running through the ALSA driver in a winepulse-updated Wine - and
winepulse adds a new driver, and doesn't fix the old one at all. I'm
certain you do realize this, but everyone slips up occasionally, so I
have to ask.

I do agree that PulseAudio appears to have played the major role in this
bug, particularly since it should have been the only relevant component
updated when I moved to Lucid... besides, I've found many records of
PulseAudio behaving in slightly odd ways through the ALSA input, causing
persistent problems.

I will also point out that whatever the problem being reported here, it
seems unlikely to be a regression from Jaunty - given that the initial
bug here was filed by Neil while running Jaunty.

[Bug 371897] Re: Occasional sound drops in Wine via PulseAudio

2010-02-10 Thread Eric Astor
I should add - though I feel Endre could be phrasing his suggestions
more politely, I basically agree with him.

I haven't had the opportunity yet to ask the Ubuntu Wine team why they
haven't seen fit to include the winepulse patches into Ubuntu's wine
package... There may well be legitimate reasons, but I would very much
appreciate an answer as to why these patches aren't being included as a
temporary fix until the interaction of Wine with PulseAudio's ALSA input
is fixed.

Anyone from the Wine team reading this? Bunch of us out here who would
appreciate a response. For my own use, I'm already maintaining the
winepulse patchset in a package in my PPA, properly fitted into quilt,
and would be glad to help out with maintenance of patches in quilt in
general and with maintenance of the winepulse driver specifically, if my
help is wanted.

[Bug 371897] Re: Occasional sound drops in Wine via PulseAudio

2010-02-10 Thread Eric Astor
Good news, everyone! I'm running Lucid 64-bit right now, and I currently
cannot reproduce this bug in situations where it's invariably occurred
before.

I have a few PlayOnLinux bottles containing various applications I've
had sound trouble with in the past, including KOTOR and Heroes of Might
 Magic 3... I ran both briefly using the version of Wine in my PPA
switched to use its ALSA driver, through situations that have always
provoked this bug before, with no sound problems apparent.

To double-check this, I pulled the source of wine1.2 (1.1.38-0ubuntu1)
from the Lucid repository, compiled and installed it as a PlayOnLinux
Wine version, and ran KOTOR again, using this version - again, no
problems.

Finally, as a last check - I followed up on Ernst's lead, and tried
foobar2k. I created a fresh wine prefix, installed foobar, and played
around with some music. Even streaming from a network drive, I had no
sound problems whatsoever. I was also able to verify that PulseAudio was
receiving input through its ALSA plugin, not through any other program.
No trouble mixing multiple streams, either - I started up an instance of
Rhythmbox, and it played in parallel without trouble.

Ernst, could you tell me what you were using when you had sound cutting
out on Lucid 64-bit? I'd like to see if I can duplicate the issue.

I'll be glad to test Ventrilo - good idea, I hadn't thought of a good
microphone test app yet. I'll just need to figure out where I put my
microphone first! I'll post once I've checked.

[Bug 371897] Re: Occasional sound drops in Wine via PulseAudio

2010-02-09 Thread Eric Astor
If you'll just be patient - remember that most of us DON'T get paid to
work on this, and are doing it to improve on the system that we use too!
Besides, much of the delay here is actually an upstream issue; Wine is
in the middle of transitioning to a new sound layer, and so won't accept
a PulseAudio driver. If they would, we have an already-implemented fix
for this issue in the form of the wine-pulse patches as used by Neil in
his repository! If you really need this fixed urgently, I suggest you
check my PPA, where I keep a package updated with both the latest wine
versions and the latest release of the wine-pulse patchset. No promises,
but it works for me!

[Bug 488981] Re: use wine-pulse for wine-packages

2010-01-22 Thread Eric Astor
I understand that the Wine project has decided not to integrate the
winepulse patchset due to various issues - some reputedly political, but
the most cited one being that the Wine audio layer is now queued up for
a full redesign. Apparently, a decision has been made to lean on OpenAL,
to avoid the pain of building their own drivers every time. I think
that's a great idea.

However, I'd very much like to see this patch applied as well. Until
WineHQ gets a version of wine together that avoids the severe sound-
skipping (Bug #371897) and other problems caused by the ALSA emulation
layer, I see no reason why these patches (which cause no problems in any
tests I've run) can't be applied in a distribution that defaults to
PulseAudio.

I'm currently maintaining a version of Wine with the latest winepulse
patches in my PPA at https://launchpad.net/~eric-astor/+archive/epastor
- I try to keep it fully up-to-date with the latest Wine releases, and
occasionally even manage to release a new version before it makes it
into the WineHQ repositories. I'd welcome any users - and any help
testing the package, to verify that the patch set doesn't cause any
problems on other machines!

[Bug 371897] Re: Occasional sound drops in Wine via PulseAudio

2009-11-14 Thread Eric Astor
To give another perspective - I was trying to get Civilization 4 and
Heroes of Might  Magic 3 working. I tested using Wine directly, and
through PlayOnLinux. In both cases:

Testing with vanilla Wine 1.1.31 - sound occasionally crackled/popped (once or 
twice a second)
Testing with WineHQ's Wine 1.1.32 - same crackle/pop, same frequency

I pulled the source for WineHQ's Wine 1.1.32, and re-compiled with
winepulse 0.32 included.

Testing with 1.1.32+winepulse0.32, ALSA driver - crackle was significantly 
worse (essentially constant)
Testing with 1.1.32+winepulse0.32, PulseAudio driver - no crackle at all, sound 
crisp  clear

Since I'm running off WineHQ (and thus on 1.1.32), I haven't yet tested
Neil Wilson's version - but I can confirm that I have a sound dropping
problem (stutter/pop - sounds like dropped data / underrun) on vanilla
and WineHQ Wine, and that it goes away completely if I switch to a
winepulse-patched Wine.
