[Bug 341898] Re: MythTV Frontend does not work with RADEON DRI
### This is a copy of my post (with screenshots) on the Ubuntu Forums, here for reference. link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7375579 ### Hi, MythTV is not displaying any text on the frontend or the backend. I took three screenshots: 1. http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt348/89f5hb/MythTV_no_text_bug_screenshot_1.jpg 2. http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt348/89f5hb/MythTV_no_text_bug_screenshot_2.jpg 3. http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt348/89f5hb/MythTV_no_text_bug_screenshot_3.jpg I did a Google search for "mythtv "no text"" and it seems to be a problem for numerous people. Four pages where particularly relevant: 1. [url]http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=394436#2[/url] 2. [url]http://www.mythtvtalk.com/forum/installation-issues/4400-newbie-help-qt-opengl-now-no-text-menu.html[/url] 3. [url]https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV/FAQs#Troubleshooting[/url] 4. [url]https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/universe-bugs/2009-March/061860.html[/url] I installed msttcorefonts but it didn't help. I tried the command "mythfrontend -O ThemePainter=qt" but it didn't fix it. I then tried "mythfrontend -O ThemePainter=openGL" and I was finally able to see the main menu of MythTV, but all of the configuration menus are still blank. I have a (legacy) ATI Radeon 9600. Jaunty doesn't have a proprietary ATI legacy driver so I must use the open-source one. I think this may be a cause of the problem because when I used the proprietary driver in Intrepid Ibex the text was visible. Does anyone have a solution? P.S. Why aren't links differentiated from plain text? I had to highlight and underline the links manually. Solved. The solution is to open the file /etc/mythtv/session-settings as sudo and add the text (excluding square brackets) [export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS="1"] at the bottom. (found on the bug report here: [url]https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/mesa/+bug/341898/comments/102[/url]) The first proposed solution was to add the line (excluding square brackets) [Option "DRI" "off"] into the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf under the 'Device' section. This approach makes text visible but it disables DRI, which disables hardware acceleration and makes MythTV run almost unusably slow. (Info from here: [url]http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1154240[/url]) This problem SHOULD be fixed in Ubuntu Karmic Koala, set for release in October 2009. -- MythTV Frontend does not work with RADEON DRI https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/341898 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 120829] Re: /dev/sda3 is mounted despite the 'noauto' option in fstab
Pleasingly, disabling the option [system>preferences>removable drives and media>storage>mount removable media when inserted] still allows usb devices to be mounted automatically. -- /dev/sda3 is mounted despite the 'noauto' option in fstab https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/120829 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 120829] Re: /dev/sda3 is mounted despite the 'noauto' option in fstab
Well, I have finally found the problem... It very simply involves the single setting [system>preferences>removable drives and media>storage>mount removable media when inserted]. Deselecting this makes noauto work as usual. I also managed to remove the desktop drive icons; open terminal and type "gconf-editor" and deselect [/apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible]. The question now is why the developer/s decided that a gnome preference (and a non-passworded one at that!) should override fstab... If this has indeed been corrected in Gutsy as Ingo suggested, then hopefully in means that the devs have reverted to the regular approach of giving fstab full command of mounting drives. -- /dev/sda3 is mounted despite the 'noauto' option in fstab https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/120829 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 120829] Re: /dev/sda3 is mounted despite the 'noauto' option in fstab
I also have the problem of noauto being ignored. It worked fine in Dapper, but in Feisty, if the "user" option is used it ignores "noauto", and if "user" is removed it doesn't automount but then doubleclicking on the drives icon results in the message "You are not privileged to mount the volume". I've searched the ubuntu forum, wiki and google. Here's what I have found so far; I have turned up a few pages of interest but I just haven't been able to find any solution. This page describes how to force hal to ignore certain drives/partitions at startup: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2605508&postcount=34 Here is a detailed explanation of fstabs peculiar behaviour: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2563990 Here are two pages that detail what I expect fstab "noauto" and "user" options to do: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283131 http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html Any help is much appreciated!! -- /dev/sda3 is mounted despite the 'noauto' option in fstab https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/120829 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
