[Bug 1575053] Re: Please move the "$HOME/snap" directory to a less obtrusive location

2020-03-06 Thread David Megginson
I need to uninstall Gnome Calculator, because it keeps spamming my home
folder with a "snap/" subdirectory. Fortunately, no other apps I use
regularly have this bug. I'll look for a different calculator app.

[Bug 778502] Re: Pidgin have no main menu at 11.04

2012-02-05 Thread David Megginson
This bug also affects me (Ubuntu 11-10, 64-bit).  It's sporadic --
sometimes Unity will show the menu bar for the main pidgin window when
it has focus, and sometimes it will not.  Sometimes killing the pidgin
process and restarting will make the menu appear, and sometimes it
won't.  I cannot find any reliable pattern to reproduce the bug, but it
does occur frequently.

For everyone else reporting, were you all using 64-bit, or are some of
you seeing the bug in 32-bit, too?

I suspect Unity more than Pidgin.

[Bug 814777] Re: Occassional mouse cursor corruption on primary display

2012-01-10 Thread David Megginson
This bug affects me as well.  Sometimes moving the pointer gently to the
right side of my primary display restores the pointer completely, and
sometimes it restores it to a slight scrambled version.

I also have a second, probably-related problem, where the system gets
confused and compresses the mouse movement to about 30% of the screen
width in my left (secondary) monitor.  Neither happens 100% predictably.
They're more likely after the secondary monitor (HDMI) has been
unplugged and plugged back in, but can happen without that, too.

[Bug 907349] [NEW] Mouse movement horizontally compressed on second display after suspend/resume

2011-12-21 Thread David Megginson
Public bug reported:

I'm using the proprietary fglrx display driver with Ubuntu 11-10 on a
64-bit system.  I'm using two displays:

1. the laptop screen
2. an external monitor connected via HDMI

After suspend/resume, both displays still render correctly, and the
mouse works properly on the first (laptop) display, but on the second
display, its horizontal movement is compressed to about the left 20% of
the screen.  Disconnecting and reconnecting the second display does not
help the mouse (though it continues to render correctly).

If I log out, so that the system reverts to mirror mode, then log back
in, the mouse works correctly again.

I suspect that I just have to unload and reload a module around
suspend/resume, but I'm not certain where to look.

[Bug 714862] Re: Atheros AR3002 cannot be turned up/is not recognized.

2011-11-16 Thread David Megginson
I'm having trouble with an AR3012 under Oneric (amd64): Linux (and the
GUI notification-area tool) recognize the chipset, but scans for devices
always fail.

I have a Pavilion g4 with a Bluetooth chip that Win7 reports as "Atheros
AR3012 Bluetooth 4.0 + HS".  I tried installing the
ar3011-dkms_1.1ryu2.3_all.deb DKMS module, but after reboot, btusb still
loads to handle the AR3012.  When I rmmod --force btusb and modprobe
ath3k, the AR3012 is no longer available.

The following is from a scan with 4 BT devices advertising themselves (a
mono headset, an Android phone, BT audio headphones, and BT speakers):

david@snape:~$ sudo hciconfig
hci0:   Type: BR/EDR  Bus: USB
BD Address: 74:DE:2B:4C:2E:D7  ACL MTU: 1022:8  SCO MTU: 183:5

Under Win7, the chipset works, and all my BT devices can be connected.

Any suggestions?

[Bug 782225] [NEW] Pidgen freezes system in Natty

2011-05-13 Thread David Megginson
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pidgin

Sometimes (typically when minimizing a chat window), Pidgen freezes my
entire system - won't respond to anything, even power button.  Leaving
it for a few minutes doesn't make a difference.  The only way to restart
is to remove the laptop battery.  Freezes happen every 2-4 days, so
they're hard to reproduce on demand.

Running Natty on an HP TX2 with ATI graphics.  Using the Ubuntu Classic
Desktop (no effects) option from GDM.  3D programs like Flightgear run
with no problem.

[Bug 670721] Re: Windows rendered (?) wrong

2011-04-06 Thread David Megginson
I see the same problem with Maverick amd64 and the ATI fglrx driver:
text and graphical elements inside windows are badly distorted, to the
point that they're unusable.  Sometimes moving a window will cause it to
be re-rendered correctly (temporarily), but it's not consistent.

I have read that disabling the fglrx driver fixes the problem, but that
makes the computer useless for flight simulation or other high-framerate
activities.

etc. and not have it overwritten by NM.  Thanks to Mathieu for the

2010-10-14 Thread David Megginson
Great suggestion, Mathieu -- unfortunately, NM overwrote all the
127.0.0.n lines (not just 127.0.0.1), so back to the drawing board.  I
can't think of any way to do this without setting up a full DNS server
just for my laptop.  I'm betting there are a lot of other people doing
web development who will discover the same problem.

This bit of NM behaviour was modified not because anything was wrong,
but because someone wanted to enforce a rigid idea of how loopback is
supposed to work, and erase anything in /etc/hosts that didn't match
that idea.  I hate solutions based on dogma instead of problem-solving.

[Bug 659872] [NEW] Aliases in /etc/hosts overwritten

2010-10-13 Thread David Megginson
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: network-manager

I develop several web sites on my laptop, and each one is a different
virtual host through Apache.  Until Lucid, I was able to alias these
hosts in /etc/hosts, like this

  127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain myhost1.localdomain
myhost2.localdomain myhost3.localdomain

Starting with Maverick, however, NetworkManager overwrites the 127.0.0.1
line every time it initiates a new network connection, so these aliases
are lost.  It is fair to argue that aliasing 127.0.0.1 isn't ideal, but
as far as I can find, NetworkManager doesn't offer any alternative for
aliasing the bound IP address.  For example, if I connect to WiFi, it
adds a line like

  192.168.0.101 snape

There seems to be no way to get it to do

  192.168.0.101 snape myhost1.localdomain myhost2.localdomain
myhost3.localdomain

NetworkManager should not overwrite the 127.0.0.1 line in /etc/hosts
until there is an alternative method available for aliasing on the local
machine, without setting up an entire local DNS server.

Public bug reported:

When scrolling through a text document or typing in the echo area, fonts
often appear scrambled initially, with characters printed on top of
each-other.  After several seconds of inactivity, the display corrects
itself, but the problem will reappear with additional scrolling or
typing.

- font-lock on and off
- monospaced and proportional fonts
- with current ~/.emacs file moved out of the way and no .Xdefaults or 
.Xresources to affect display

[Bug 544508] [NEW] fglrx-modaliases do not allow Jockey to find/offer fglrx driver

2010-03-22 Thread David Megginson
Public bug reported:

In AMD64, after installing the new fglrx-modaliases, Jockey still
doesn't list fglrx as an option.  If I manually install the fglrx
package, it does list it, but fails when I attempt to select it,
claiming that I'm holding broken packages (no broken or held packages).

After manually installing fgrlx, changing the device driver from
"radeon" to "fglrx" in xorg.conf, and restarting X, X core dumps.  I
assume there's something Jockey would do to the xorg.conf file to avoid
this:

As I mentioned earlier, this is a big usability problem because it
often prevents a file from opening at startup, and switching to the
low-latency kernel is a pretty extreme solution (especially since it
kills battery life on a notebook).

Fortunately, there's a much easier work-around.  Go to

Settings ->  Configure Rosegarden... -> Sequencer -> Synchronisation

and change the timer setting from "(auto)" to "system timer", and the
warning will disappear.  You can also try "rtc timer" if you have the
snd-rtctimer module loaded and need 1ms resolution instead of 4ms
resolution (I don't).  Here's the official FAQ on the bug:

Is it crashing only when you run compiz?  I haven't used compiz at all
since I realized it was crashing my 3D apps, so I haven't tracked any

It's not checked now.  Does someone plan to implement that in gutsy in
the next four weeks, or is there already a feature freeze?

The first time you run X after a clean install of gutsy, it tells you
that you can enable restricted drivers for better functionality and
offers a dialog to do so -- every new user with an nvidia card will
see that, and most will probably choose it.  As soon as you do that
and reboot, compiz will start causing problems; if you don't do that,
you can't use 3D apps with nvidia.  If you want to use 3D apps, you
have to figure out on your own (no automatic prompts) to go to the
System/Preferences/Appearance dialog, choose the "Desktop" tab, and
check the "No effects" radio button.  That's not intuitive.

I agree that this problem will affect only a minority of Ubuntu users
-- probably less than 20% -- and that it's nvidia's fault rather than
compiz's, but what benefits do we get from defaulting to compiz to
offset that problem?  Why not make gutsy stable for those users as
well?  You're not really doing anything useful for the other 80%
anyway, aside from a bit of eye candy.


All the best,


David

Reversing the logic doesn't work, because in one configuration, gutsy
will won't work out of the box for a lot of people, while in the
second configuration, it will.  Why not wait until there are fixed
nvidia drivers in gutsy to make compiz the default?  BTW, search for
"compiz freeze" to find people with the other problem -- you don't
need *everyone* to be having the problem, just a significant number,
for Ubuntu to start losing its excellent reputation as the distro that
actually works out of the box.

Stacked up against all this, what real benefits do we get from forcing
compiz in before the distro is stable with it?  Cute window
animations?

[Bug 130325] Re: [nvidia-glx] Don't enable compiz by default for gutsy

2007-09-17 Thread David Megginson
I'm an experienced user (Linux since 1993, Minix before that), but I
lost several hours before I realized that glxgears and FlightGear were
crashing X due to compiz.  I *strongly* recommend disabling compiz by
default in gutsy, since it provides nothing but eye candy, and having it
running means that 3D apps will crash X by default in gutsy for all
boxes running new NVIDIA cards -- it's easy enough to enable in the GUI
for people who want it.  Functionality should always win over flash.

Even when I'm not trying to run 3D apps, compiz seems very awkward on my
new HP TX1220 compared with metacity -- there are sometimes freezes of
several seconds, for example, especially when I'm trying to edit in
OpenOffice.  It may be cute, but it's not practical.

[Bug 67568] Re: error when opening Rosegarden program: "System timer resolution is too low"

2007-06-14 Thread David Megginson
A couple of releases ago, at least, the problem wasn't that the warning
appears, but that the warning dialog would often trigger a bug and
prevent a file from loading (race condition?) when RoseGarden was
launched with a file argument.  I'm not sure if that is fixed now or
not, because I haven't used RoseGarden much recently.

For the program itself, though, it would be nice to add an option to
disable the warning dialog.  The system timer affects only the quality
of playback, not of score editing, MIDI generation, etc., so a lot of
users just won't care and don't need to see the warning every time they
launch.  That's an upstream issue, though.

[Bug 89998] FlightGear crashes on startup

2007-03-05 Thread David Megginson
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: flightgear

With today's update, FlightGear crashes on startup with an uncaught
sg_throwable right after trying to load scenery tiles.  I had run it an
hour before the update with no problem (and no configuration changes in-
between).  I suspect that it just needs to be recompiled against the
current libraries.

This happens because the system timer in the kernel is set to only
250HZ.  I think it goes back and forth, because I wasn't seeing this

This is actually a kernel problem, not (primarily) a Rosegarden problem,

[Bug 68591] Edgy: subpixel smoothing does not work in OpenOffice

2006-10-27 Thread David Megginson
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

With subpixel smoothing, fonts are rendered very poorly in OpenOffice.

1. Start with a fresh user directory.

2. Enable subpixel smoothing in the System/Preferences/Font desktop
dropdown menu.

3. Launch OpenOffice writer.

Fonts are rendered very irregularly when subpixel smoothing is enabled,
but are acceptable (not ideal) when best shapes are enabled. OpenOffice
seems to be doing its own font rendering, rather than using the system
engine. No changes made in OpenOffice view preferences fix the problem,
though they do result in different kinds of ugliness. Fonts are fine in
all other applications tested.
