2009-11-24 Thread Brian Alexander
Simple workaround at http://www.ubuntumini.com/2009/11/broadcom-
wireless-driver-fix-in-karmic.html

I did the command line method. Plug in to a wired network connection and
run:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get --reinstall install bcmwl-kernel-source

[Bug 289964] Re: [intrepid] firefox freezes when accesing www.grails.org

2009-01-11 Thread Brian Alexander
This appears to have been fixed by nVidia driver version 180. When I
noticed the new driver was available, I was able to reproduce the
freezing by visiting grails.org. Then after installing the new driver
and rebooting the site rendered quickly with no freezing. The new driver
also appears to have fixed the annoying 30 second delay every time I
login (this was mentioned in the release notes of the driver).

The driver was not automatically installed along with the other updates
on my system. Instead I manually installed these packages:

nvidia-180-kernel-source (180.11-0ubuntu1~intrepid1)
nvidia-180-modaliases (180.11-0ubuntu1~intrepid1)
nvidia-glx-180 (180.11-0ubuntu1~intrepid1)

Which resulted in the following packages being removed:

nvidia-177-kernel-source
nvidia-glx-177

Hurray! These two bugs were making my experience with Ubuntu very
unpleasant and now they are fixed.

Exact same problem and it is quite horrible. I visit grails.org often.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help get this fixed.

[Bug 95326] Re: sound juicer aac formatted files skip and...

2007-11-26 Thread Brian Alexander
After using the command:

abcde -a cddb,read,encode,tag,move,playlist,clean -d /dev/cdrom -o m4a
-V -x

to rip the AAC files, it played correctly in Rythmbox but when I copied
the files to my iPod shuffle, they didn't play. I tried using Amarok to
copy the same files to my iPod and they worked fine. I'm switching to
Amarok because of this bug. I needed to install the package
libxine1-ffmpeg to get the AAC files to play in Amarok. I'm using Gutsy.

Workaround:

Use abcde instead as described at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping :

abcde -a cddb,read,encode,tag,move,playlist,clean -d /dev/cdrom -o m4a
-V -x
