[Bug 252033] Re: [NV25] Can't get over 800x600 resolution

2009-02-04 Thread David Wynn
mattismyname has indicated this is no longer an issue for him because he
installed the beta drivers.  I indicated that these are available in the
repository.  Looks like this issue was related to the 96 series nVidia
drivers broken by the Intrepid changes to Xorg.

2009-01-19 Thread David Wynn
This is not a problem with the nvidia graphics drivers packages in
Ubuntu.  I see that you downloaded the script from nVidia, instead of
installing the package from intrepid-updates.

First, check your software sources.  You can do this in Gnome from ...
System --> Administration --> Software Sources
or in Synaptic from
Settings --> Repositories

Go to the updates tab and check that Recommended Updates (intrepid-
updates) is checked.  Make sure that you somehow reload the package
list.  (The "Reload" button in Synaptic will do this)

You'll want to remove the effects of the nVidia script (honestly, been
awhile since I used the nVidia script, but I believe they send removal
instructions with the script).  Unfortunately, I remember seeing
indications in the forums that the nVidia script can mess things up, but
I'm not certain what all you need to do to strip it back off.  Perhaps
others can contribute here?

Once the nVidia version is gone (use the nv or vesa driver in the
meantime), go to your favorite package manager and make sure either
jockey-gtk (for gnome, xubuntu, etc) or jockey-kde (for kubuntu) is
installed.  Also, make sure dkms is installed.

Exit your package manager and go to...
System --> Administration --> Hardware Drivers
Choose the appropriate driver for your system and select activate.  Once 
everything gets finished, go back into your package manager and make sure you 
have the latest version of nvidia-glx-96 (or whichever version you installed in 
Hardware Drivers).

Then you should be ready for restart.

[Bug 316617] [NEW] GDM Language Selection not listed properly

2009-01-12 Thread David Wynn
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdm

Using Intrepid Ibex, but I would guess this bug is common to all flavors
of Ubuntu.  gdm (2.20.8-0ubuntu3) does not properly localize its
language selections.

Established world example:  Next time you use an ATM or point-of-sale
credit card reader that allows for multiple languages, take a look at
how the language options are listed.  Here in the USA, we often see
support for both English and Spanish.  But we don't see the options as
English and Spanish, or as Ingles and Espanol.  We see them as English
and Espanol (apologies if I'm leaving out critical pronunciation marks).
My point is, if you want your user to understand you, you need to print
in the language that they understand.  If you want your interface to be
accessible to Spanish speaking users, you list Espanol, not Spanish as
the language.  For those of us who speak English, its not Ingles to us.

So, this needs to apply in our login screens also.  I'm currently
setting up a PC capable of working in either Spanish or English.  But
the bug is, if GDM is currently in English mode, then the language
selector shows Spanish and English options, but if its currently in
Spanish mode, it shows English, Ingles, Spanish, and Espanol options
(not sure why it can't decide how to spell the languages).

In reality, each language should be listed in the native tongue of
whoever would speak the language.  So, regardless of what language mode
GDM is currently in, all Spanish language options should be listed as
Espanol, with the appropriate name of the country as its known to the
natives of that country.  Similarly, English should always be listed as
English, with the country names being the names as they would be known
to the locals.

Once I make my language selection, a message screen pops up asking
whether I want to make this the default, or just use the language for
this one session.  Again, this is a throw-back to the language mode that
GDM is currently in.  If GDM is in Spanish mode, and I just chose an
English language option, the verification message still shows in
Spanish.  That should not be.  I've just indicated the strong
possibility that I don't understand the current language mode.  So, once
I've chosen a new language, the verification text needs to come up in
the language that I've just chosen, making sure that the cancel button
also includes the established Linux symbol for cancel -- so I know which
one to pick if I can't read the message that popped up.

This is how the world already works, this is how Linux needs to "just
work" in order to be multi-lingual.

[Bug 252033] Re: [NV25] Can't get over 800x600 resolution

2008-11-12 Thread David Wynn
Eh.  Don't go through all that work.

Fire up Synaptic, bring up the repositories (sorry, I'm not at my Linux
PC, so I'm not sure all the right menu names), and make sure that the
"Proposed" repository is turned on.  Reload your repositories, and bring
on the latest nvidia updates.  I believe that 96.43.09 was the first
version that worked, so make sure that the drivers you install show that
update or later.  Make sure you also install the latest jockey from
proposed, since jockey in the main repositories has these drivers
blacklisted.

One caveat.  Some have noted (and I have confirmed) that certain
programs run under Wine have messed up fonts.  I have not noticed any
issues with native Linux stuff yet.

The need for abiword-gnome was taken out and replaced with a need for
abiword-plugin-goffice.  But since abiword-plugin-goffice is *not*
available in intrepid either, this hasn't fixed anything.

So, the breakage has been changed, but not fixed yet.

[Bug 220030] Re: Kubuntu Alternate Install CD - Stop making coasters!

2008-04-21 Thread David Wynn
Couple things here.

1) Come to think of it, I'm not certain that I have successfully burned
any ISO's from Gutsy.  I have done it with other versions of Ubuntu
(including Hardy -- yes I had Hardy installed once, but had to abandon
it when certain upgrades crashed the system).  which makes me start to
suspect things like k3b in Gutsy.

2) This is not a problem with just the Kubuntu CD's.  I tried the
Xubuntu CD with similar results.  Which again makes me suspect that it
*may* be a software problem.

When I get another chance -- I'll see if I can find any Windows-based
burning tools on my other system that might be able to create these
disks.  At least its worth a shot.

2008-04-21 Thread David Wynn
Actually -- What I see here
(http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/build/kubuntu/all) is flawed testing
situations.

Under "download info Kubuntu Alternate i386 (20080417.1)"
>From Install (Auto-Resize):
Summary
Install from the Alternate CD using one of 3 partitioning methods, OEM, expert 
or rescue mode. 
Procedure
1. Boot using the desktop CD

In fact, for all but one of the test cases for the i386 Alternate
install, it either does not specify which disk to use, or specifically
indicates the *Desktop* CD, instead of the Alternate CD.  Same thing for
the KDE4 version.

So, assuming the testers did not follow the written instructions, but
actually followed what the instructions *should* read...  There are a
total of three people that have responded back that they tried the
alternate install CD.  Did any of them actually have system requirements
low enough that they needed the alternate CD?  Or an older computer?
Nothing is indicated as far as that goes.

I haven't had problems in the past burning disks from this computer.
And I have trouble convincing myself enough to say Memorex screwed up
their disks...

Public bug reported:

I download the Kubuntu Alternate release candidate CD for i386 --
kubuntu-8.04-rc-alternate-i386.iso.In gutsy, I burn this (through
k3b) to a new CD-R medium, first verifying the MD5 sum (its fine).  I
then reboot my computer (Authentic AMD Athlon Processor CPU family 6,
model 4, 1.2 Mhz.  Total physical memory - 256Mb) and ask to "Check CD
for defects".  It passes some of the verification levels, before finally
crashing with this message:

The ./insall/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/initrd.gz file failed the MD5
checksum verification.  Your CD-ROM or this file may have been
corrupted.

Note: I apologize for waiting so long to report this.  I had noted it on
the Kubuntu install feedback wiki previously, but had not filed an
official bug.  I've made a few CD-ROM coasters because of this
continuing error.

Please validate the CD's before posting them on the web.  The Alternate
CD's are not passing their own internal validation.

[Bug 126337] Re: IDE drivers not loaded at boot with powerpc

2008-01-27 Thread David Wynn
Going back to the original poster's messages, I see that something in
his computer is referencing /dev/hda3.  Partially with Gutsy, and more
completely with Hardy, we have migrated over to a different way of
referencing drives.  The most reliable way to reference all drives in
Hardy, Gutsy, or even Feisty, is to use UUID's.

Although it appears that Michael's /etc/fstab correctly uses UUID's, I
would hazard a guess that his /boot/grub/menu.lst still uses the /dev
paths to reference drives.

Please see the following material:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingUUID

[Bug 152820] Re: Upgrade to linux-image-2.6.22-14 kernel renders my PC unbootable

2008-01-18 Thread David Wynn
For those who have *some* method of booting into their system...

It should be noted that there were a number of issues related to booting
as a result of what was done in Gutsy.  See bug 133666 for one prominent
example.  This documents an issue that had a known fix that will not be
put into Gutsy simply because this show-stopping bug was found only
after the release of Gutsy when people actually started using the
distribution.  This is actually an upstream thing -- the Linux kernel
had the bug in 2.6.22, but it had been fixed in 2.6.23 and beyond.

As I understand the situation, Linux is trying to alter how drives are
accessed.  For many of us, that means that instead of /dev/hd*, we now
have /dev/sd*.  UUID's do not change between the two access methods, but
there were some kernel bugs that were not identified until after Gutsy.
There is no intention to pull these bugs out of Gutsy.  Instead, they
are asking that people test out the Hardy kernels to make sure that
these issues are truly fixed in Hardy.

I'm of the understanding that this is done by temporarily altering the
/etc/apt/sources.list in order to include the Hardy main and restricted
repositories.  Once you have retrieved the Hardy kernels, and installed
them on your system, you can change /etc/apt/sources.list back to just
Gutsy repositories.  Unless you actually want to test Hardy, it is
advised that you do not do any upgrades while you are using the altered
sources.list.

At this point, the primary concern is if these issues are not fixed in
the Hardy kernels.  If there are still issues in the 2.6.24 kernels,
please document the bugs appropriately.

[Bug 152820] Re: Upgrade to linux-image-2.6.22-14 kernel renders my PC unbootable

2007-12-20 Thread David Wynn
It appears that the *intent* with Gutsy was to switch the drives over to
/dev/sd* completely.  That did not happen for SiS 5513 IDE controllers.

According to my personal experience, these changes allowed me to use the
stock Ubuntu kernels:

Feisty: No changes from previous installs.  Feisty kernels were working
fine with SiS 5513.

Gutsy: Some report fresh install with Gutsy works fine.  An upgrade is
another matter.  Change the /etc/fstab file for the / (root) partition
only to /dev/sd* instead of /dev/hd*.

Hardy: Change the /etc/fstab file for all partitions to use /dev/sd*
instead of /dev/hd*.  Also, if you specify the boot directory by /dev
(instead of UUID) in /boot/grub/menu.lst, change to /dev/sd* there also.

[Bug 164722] Re: kernel 2.6.22 crash on toshiba m30x-127

2007-12-19 Thread David Wynn
See Bug 152820.  Another SiS 5513 user there tried both upgrading and a
fresh install.  For him, the upgrade caused boot issues, but the install
worked fine.  I have made a few tweaks to my /etc/fstab file and am now
using the stock Gutsy kernels.  My changes are noted in the other bug.
the original contributer here indicates that his issue includes problems
even from the live CD.  So, I don't think this is the same issue.

2007-12-19 Thread David Wynn
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 133666 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133666

Please note: this is related to upgrade.  Please also see bug 152820.
There are issues with the upgrade that do not exist with a fresh
install.  I had to make additional updates to /etc/fstab.  These updates
should have been identified in the upgrade notes, but they were not.

So, after the changes I indicated in 152820, I am now working -- with
the stock Gutsy kernels.

[Bug 133666] Re: please patch linux-source-2.6.22 to fix ata_piix bug

2007-12-19 Thread David Wynn
Clarification: after reviewing bug 152820, I found that my issue was
directly related to upgrading from Feisty to Gutsy, and some missing
related upgrade notes.  Feel free to review that bug to see how I fixed
my problem.  (Had to change the root partition specification in
/etc/fstab)

That being said, I fear that we may have deviated from the original
intent of this bug.  This bug originally indicated a patch that is
supposed to be fixed in 2.6.23 and beyond.  Since my Gutsy system is now
working with the stock kernel (after some /etc/fstab tweaks), I can't
speak to whether the original issue is still a problem.

That being said -- I'm working, so I'm now content.

[Bug 152820] Re: Upgrade to linux-image-2.6.22-14 kernel renders my PC unbootable

2007-12-19 Thread David Wynn
Here's a quick rundown of my Gutsy kernel issue.

Feisty was working fine with my computer.  An upgrade to Gutsy worked --
with the exception of needing to either use the Feisty kernel, or
compile my own with the SiS 5513 module compiled (it was removed by the
Ubuntu folks).

Then I finally read through this bug.  There is critical information
hidden away here that really needs to be documented better.  I tried to
switch everything in /etc/fstab from '/dev/hd*' to /dev/sd*'.  That got
me further, but failed to completely work.  I was finally able to get to
a console prompt, though.  I determined that it was now finding my root
directory, but directories that were on other partitions were no longer
found.

End result: /etc/fstab needs to have the '/' (root) directory set as
/dev/sd*, but all other partitions need to be set as /dev/hd*.  Kinda
weird, but it works.  I am finally using the stock Gutsy Ubuntu kernels
-- and they work!

(no -- my system did not have any of the evms packages installed)

Could someone from the kernel team please review what all needed to
change in setup for those of us that use IDE drives?  I'm guessing that
a number of issues could be resolved just by properly documenting the
necessary changes when upgrading from Feisty to Gutsy.  /etc/fstab
clearly needs to change for those that use IDE drives.  What else needs
to change?  These change notes need to be added to the upgrade notes
(http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading).

As requested, I am including my kern.log.  The latest boot messages
would be from the 2.6.22-14 kernel.

[Bug 152820] Re: Upgrade to linux-image-2.6.22-14 kernel renders my PC unbootable

2007-12-19 Thread David Wynn
I would disagree that this issue is *fixed*.  Bolek indicated that an
*upgrade* from Feisty to Gutsy on a certain architecture (including a
SiS 5513 IDE driver) will cause the computer to be unbootable, while a
fresh install on the same computer will have it working like a charm.

There is some discussion as to possibly some changes needed in
/etc/fstab in order to get everything working again.  Perhaps this is
all it takes, in my experience of trying this fix, it did not work.

At this point, it sounds like this could very well be an issue that
could be fixed with proper documentation.  Things are different between
Feisty and Gutsy, and evidently a straight update as documented in the
release notes is not working.  It should be documented in the release
notes how to switch a Feisty system over to a Gutsy system.

I'm at the point of having a broken system after a straight update.  And
just changing /etc/fstab did not do the trick for me.  What else might I
need to change?

2007-12-12 Thread David Wynn
Major regression issue still in Gutsy for all SiS 5513 controllers, and
some Intel 82801 controllers.  For Gutsy, we are still requesting that
the old patch be put back into the kernel -- that is: restore the
availability of the sis5513 module.

If there is something we are attempting to fix by removing the sis5513
module -- we failed.  And the current 2.6.24 kernels in Hardy do not fix
the issue either.  Please review what the sis5513 module is doing
because I have recompiled the 2.6.24 kerne for my Hardy kernell -- and
the module works fine for those of us with SiS 5513 controllers.  But
removing the module makes such a system unbootable.

Cheers!

[Bug 133666] Re: please patch linux-source-2.6.22 to fix ata_piix bug

2007-12-12 Thread David Wynn
Tested recompile of 2.6.24.  The SiS 5513 module as originally supplied
by the kernel.org folks is still working.  The 2.6.22 and 24 kernels
with this module removed in Gutsy and Hardy are not working.

If there's some reason that we do not want this module -- then we still
have not fixed the kernel to correctly support this hardware and we need
to review our fix in Hardy.

With Gutsy being a stable system, I would not suggest any new kernel
patches.  But, because this has caused major regression for anyone with
a SiS 5513-related controller (including certain Intel 82801
controllers), I would request that we restore the old fix so that Gutsy
can actually be a working system.  So, where Hardy may need to have new
code to replace the module, Gutsy should just have the existing module
compiled and made available to the kernel.

Cheers!

Sorry to have further muddied the waters.  Note: DaveW, the contributor
who originally posted this issue, has not responded back with his
computer specifications.  But the next three contributors (Johan,
Necromancer, and Fabio Marzocca) all showed that they use this IDE
controller: nVidia Corporation MCP51 IDE.  (Search their lspci reports
for 'IDE' and you'll see what I mean)  I would suggest using this issue

[Bug 133666] Re: please patch linux-source-2.6.22 to fix ata_piix bug

2007-12-06 Thread David Wynn
I have an Athlon Classic 1200 with a SiS 5513 IDE driver.  The 2.6.22
kernels in Gutsy and Hardy, and the 2.6.24 kernel in Hardy all show this
problem by not recognizing  my hard drive partitions on bootup --
causing a complete lock up early in the boot process.  I have proven
this is fixable in the 2.6.22 and 2.6.23 kernels by simply building the
sis5513 module when recompiling the kernel.  Perhaps there is some other
more generally applicable code fix, but so far, none of the final
release kernels for Gutsy have any such fix, and neither do the early
versions of the Hardy kernels.

I have been able to do a partial fix by adding 'ide-generic' and 'ide-
disk' to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and running update-initramfs.
This has "worked" in both Gutsy and Hardy kernels -- but it has its
problems.  Most importantly, ide-generic completely cancels dma on all
drives.  So, while this will allow me to use xorg and KDE, it is not a
true final solution.

I have an active Gutsy partition, and now a Hardy partition (upgraded
from Feisty this week).  I would like to see this bug actively worked in
Hardy to a point where I can actually use my hard drives *with* dma
turned on.

We've now chosen to leave Gutsy with a known major failure for everyone
with SiS 5513 and Intel 82801 EB/ER IDE drivers.  Can we please get this
failure fixed in Hardy?  (Hint: The sis5513 module still works -- but it
has been marked as not to be compiled for the Gutsy and Hardy kernels.
So, if we are mandating that the module cannot be allowed in the kernel,
we need to look at what its doing in order to support these drivers.)

Please keep us posted as new changes are put in place for this driver.

Cheers!

I tried.  The latest 2.6.22 and 2.6.24 Ubuntu kernels both prevent my SiS 5513

the kernel.

Can you please at least explain what the SIS5513 module is trying to do
and why we're adamant that it must be removed from Ubuntu?  I'm assuming
that something has been coded that is supposed to take the place of the
SIS5513 module.  However, that "something" is evidently not working.
It's not working in Gutsy, and its not working yet in Hardy.

Any chance we could create a kernel *with* the module compiled and ready

[Bug 123789] Re: Kernel 2.6.22-x will not boot on laptop

2007-12-01 Thread David Wynn
I see that some people reporting this issue have an nVidia IDE
controller, while others have an Intel 82801 controller, and there may
even be other controllers represented here.

I do not have personal experience with the Intel 82801 controller, but I
have seen reports from other users that indicate that the 82801 uses the
sis5513 module in older kernels (for instance, Feisty's 2.6.20 series).
Any of you that still have working kernels may want to check for the
presence of this module in your lsmod reports.

For some reason, the sis5513 module has been disabled in the more recent
Gutsy kernels (by the time I first switched to Gutsy, they were already
up to 2.6.22.13, so I can't vouch for earlier Gutsy kernels).  The
module is still in the code, but its been completely shut off so the
module is not available.

I know from personal experience, including kernel recompiles, that the
kernel code is not yet ready to shut off the sis5513 module.  Without
this module, my own computer (which has an official SiS 5513 IDE
controller) will not boot from either a 2.6.22 or 2.6.23 kernel without
the SiS 5513 module -- the computer simply does not recognize my hard
drives.  But simply enabling this one module brings me back to a working
computer.

Cheers!

Hmm.  I've a theory -- based on what others are reporting about the
Intel 82801 IDE controllers.

When you boot into the 2.6.20 kernel and run 'lsmod', do you have the
'sis5513' module listed amongst the list?  If so, that could be the
problem.  The Ubuntu kernel folk chose to disable the sis5513 module for
the 2.6.22 kernels.  No explanation given, and its causing quite a bit
of grief to those that use hardware supported by this module.

FYI -- see forum topic http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=586894
The original poster of the topic also had an Intel 82801 EB/ER driver, but his 
lsmod from Etch included the sis5513 module.

For whatever reason, the Ubuntu kernel folk has chosen to compile the
kernel with the use of this module completely disabled.  The module is
still this in the code, but they've chosen to not even compile the
module.  If you're comfortable with this -- try recompiling your kernel
with the sis5513 module enabled.

Instead of this, as found in the stock Gutsy .config file
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIS5513 is not set

Use this, as found in the stock Feisty .config file
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIS5513=m

make oldconfig.  By using Ubuntu's .config file, the SiS 5513 module was
*not* included in the kernel.  For that test, I had the same results as
I have with the provided Gutsy kernel -- my computer would not boot
because it could not find the hard drives.

But the simple task of enabling the SiS 5513 module to be built got my
computer up and running.  So, I currently have a Gutsy computer with a
2.6.23.8 kernel and, with the help of "envy", the latest nvidia drivers.

This is all that needs to change.  In the .config file, instead of this:
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIS5513 is not set

Use this:
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIS5513=m

I've been hearing that we're somehow trying to move away from whatever
the SIS5513 module is trying to accomplish.  That may be, but we didn't
accomplish it for Gutsy -- and now we've broken everyone that uses this
kind of interface (including SiS 5513 and  Intel 82801 EB/ER IDE
controllers, and any other controllers that use this module).

Evidently the Ubuntu kernel folk canceled this hardware-specific kernel
fix, then forgot to actually test it on the related hardware.  And now
that this is in the "stable" distribution, we're having a hard time
convincing them that they've dropped support for these specific IDE
controllers.

Cheers!

2007-12-01 Thread David Wynn
A careful look at this forum topic: 
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=586894
will show that the original poster (mfajer) has an Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER 
(ICH5/ICH5R) IDE Controller, yet his Etch lsmod report includes the SIS5513 
module.  So, looks like people with the Intel 82801 controllers are also messed 
up by the removal of this module.

[Bug 150693] Re: stock 2.6.22 kernels don't detect both IDE HDDs anymore

2007-11-30 Thread David Wynn
I don't understand how this does not meet the criteria.  I see this in
the criteria:

* Bugs which represent severe regressions from the previous release of
Ubuntu

Now, this may not be a "severe regression" for everyone.  But for many
that own a computer with a SIS5513 IDE controller, going from a Feisty
install where everything works, to a Gutsy install, where the system
can't even boot because the IDE controller cannot recognize the hard
drives -- that's a very severe regression!  No solution has been
presented that allows me to boot my computer with its SiS 5513 IDE
controller without recompiling the kernel to include the necessary IDE
module.

So, here's what I know in regard to the requested documentation:

1) Impact of the bug: Computers with SiS 5513 IDE controllers have
reported everything from complete inability to boot, to very flaky disk
access, even locking up the system.  One proposed work-around was to
force the ide_generic and ide_disk modules -- a "solution" that prevents
the use of DMA in CD- / DVD-ROM drives connected to the computer.  Thus,
an unacceptable solution.  That from my personal experience coupled with
reports seen on the web forums.

2) I don't know of the bug being addressed in the "development" branch.
But I can look back to former stable branches!!!

>From the Feisty stock .config file:
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIS5513=m

>From the Gutsy stock .config file:
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIS5513 is not set

3) The patch: well, just correct the one line in the .config file in the
kernel.  That's it.  Basically -- the module that the kernel folk have
written for the SiS 5513 IDE controller should be allowed to be used by
those of us with such a controller.  Since this is built as a module, I
would expect it to only be used by computers with the appropriate
hardware.  (Note: I tested with the ubuntu .config file, but with the
latest 2.6.22 official Linux kernel -- if any Ubuntu-specific changes
have been made to this module, there may be problems I am not aware of)

4) Reproducing the bug.  I migrated my computer up from a Feisty
install, so this *might* be a problem specific to migration, rather than
new installs, but I doubt it.  First: get a computer with a SiS 5513 IDE
controller, as the error is specific to this hardware.  Then try a) a
fresh install with Gutsy, and b) a fresh install with Feisty, followed
by a migration to Gutsy.  I would expect both to cause problems.  (I
remember trying the new install.  My computer crashed during the
install, though I don't recall the specifics of where)  If you're able
to reboot successfully off of such a computer, and hdparm reports that
DMA is settable for any CD- / DVD drives on the IDE controller, then
something else is the problem.  But I think you're going to find issues.

5) Regression potential: If you have a computer with a SiS 5513 IDE
controller, migrating to Gutsy can bring your computer to a complete
halt.  If you can *somehow* tweak your computer to boot, even with this
controller, than you'll probably find that the drives are not all
working as they optimally should.  This should only affect the users of
this particular style of IDE controller, but the probalem for computers
using this controller is widespread, if not all-encompassing.

According to my personal experience, SiS 5513 drivers were working fine
from Hoary through Feisty, but the install of Gutsy has been problematic
for this controller.  Recompiling the kernel with this one extra module
enabled brought my computer back to its pre-Gutsy working state.

I personally would be eager to test any proposed version of the kernel
for usability on a computer with a SiS 5513 controller.

[Bug 155702] Re: pata_sis fails to enable udma100, which causes a long (~1min) delay at boot. Patch available!

2007-11-25 Thread David Wynn
BTW -- I can't vouch for effectiveness of this fix.  I recompiled the
2.6.23 (which already has this "fix" coded in) and my computer failed to
boot -- got the 1 millimeter of progress hang.  But recompiling the
2.6.23 kernel *with* the SIS5513 module fixed my problem.  But then
2.6.22 worked fine for me also once the SIS5513 module was included.
So, from my experience, SIS5513 issues continue to stem from the absence
of the module in the Ubuntu kernel.  (If there is supposed to be code
the replaces the SIS5513 module, that code has not been installed in the
kernel's for 2.6.22 or 2.6.23)

I have, however, removed the duplicate tag from this bug.

[Bug 150693] Re: stock 2.6.22 kernels don't detect both IDE HDDs anymore

2007-11-12 Thread David Wynn
I will admit, I haven't confirmed this in *exactly* a Ubuntu way -- but
I have confirmed the issue, and the fix is very simple -- at least in my
case, it was much easier than the diff shown.  The key is right here in
the diff:

-# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIS5513 is not set
+CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIS5513=m

Looking back at my own system, triple boot: Windows ME (got tired of
paying the tax); Feisty; Gutsy.

>From /boot/config-2.6.20-16-generic (feisty)
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIS5513=m

>From /boot/config-2.6.22-14-generic (gutsy)
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIS5513 is not set

I took the absolute last version of the 2.6.22 kernels from the official
linux kernel archives (as opposed to the Ubuntu source).  I then took my
config-2.6.22-14-generic and allowed for the SIS5513 module to be built.
I rebuilt the kernel and headers and installed them.  I then rebooted my
computer.

With the Ubuntu 2.6.22-14, my computer always hangs very quickly -- the
progress bar shows a couple millimeters before the crash.  Then it just
takes several minutes to finally drop to a command line.  With my newly
compiled kernel with the SiS 5513 module available, the computer boots
all the way to a normal command line (I'd probably have X, but I don't
have the restricted drivers yet for the new kernel).

I am convinced that the solution here, and for everyone else dealing
with SiS 5513 controllers is that the current compile of the kernel does
not make the needed module available to us.

[Bug 133666] Re: please patch linux-source-2.6.22 to fix ata_piix bug

2007-11-12 Thread David Wynn
FYI -- the absence of the SIS5513 module seems to be breaking those of
us with SiS 5513 IDE controllers.  I went a little outside the purely
Ubuntu way of doing things, but not too far.

I downloaded the latest 2.6.22.12 version from the linux kernel
archives.  Then I took my Ubuntu config file, and mostly updated just
the one line (also updated the kernel version tag, but nothing else).
Then I recompiled the kernel.

My system now boots directly.  The original poster does not list his IDE
controller, so I cannot tell if this is the same problem -- but seems to
fix SiS 5513 controllers.

Cheers!

2007-11-11 Thread David Wynn
FYI -- I also had no problems in Feisty, but have been having *serious*
issues in Gutsy with booting.  I update /etc/intiramfs-tools/modules to
include ide-generic, but that means -- no DMA.  I also have a SIS5513
IDE controller.   I was thinking of recompiling my own kernel, when I
found this:

>From /boot/config-2.6.20-16-generic (feisty)
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIS5513=m

>From /boot/config-2.6.22-14-generic (gutsy)
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIS5513 is not set

Why was this module turned off for Gutsy?  Please allow this as a module
again.  As a module, it can do no harm to folks with other IDE drivers,
but I'm guessing it could sure relieve some grief for those of us with
this particular driver!

2007-11-11 Thread David Wynn
Worthy of noting.  I have no problems with SiS5513 IDE in my Feisty
distribution, but cannot get it loaded without some initramfs-tools
overrides in my Gutsy distribution.  I would guess this is the reason:

>From /boot/config-2.6.20-16-generic (feisty)
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIS5513=m

>From /boot/config-2.6.22-14-generic (gutsy)
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIS5513 is not set

I notice that there are other similar options that were enabled in
feisty that, for some reason, have been disabled in gutsy.  I would
guess this is the reason for the slew of issues with bad boots.

Please allow for this module in the kernel again.  Thanks.

That one is not intended for use with a GeForce 3.  The nvidia-glx is,
although you may need to do some tweaking under nvidia-xconfig.

For the record, there are now two generations of legacy drivers.  That's
why there's now three different versions of nvidia-glx.

[Bug 155703] Re: Restricted Manager installs wrong nvidia driver

2007-10-25 Thread David Wynn
My apologies.  Thank you for the correction.  For reference purposes, I
found these two links that should cover the difference between the
various Linux drivers:

Cards that are supported by nvidia-glx-new are here:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_18897.html

Cards supported by the two legacy drivers are here.  nvidia-glx cards first, 
then nvidia-glx-legacy cards:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_32667.html

And the GeForce2 MX is listed on these pages as being supported under
nvidia-glx.  That being said, as long as a card existed before one of
the older drivers, it should be possible to use your card with the older
driver.  So, even if the GeForce2 MX is supported by the nvidia-glx
drivers, because it was around when the older drivers were built, it
would also work with the nvidia-glx-legacy drivers.

I will also point out that there is an application called nvidia-
xconfig.  Check "man nvidia-xconfig" for the various options that may
need to be tweaked to get a card running with any of these drivers.

2007-10-24 Thread David Wynn
I use Kubuntu, so can't help on the Gnome front.  There may be something
with your computer trying to run Compiz Fusion -- which is supposed to
be installed by default in Gutsy for machines that can handle it.

That being said, according to nvidia, the GeForce 3 should be supported
by the later drivers included in nvidia-glx.  There are issues with the
nvidia-glx driver in Gutsy that were not present in Feisty.  nvidia-glx
worked find in Feisty for my GeForce FX 5700 LE.  In Gutsy, I get basic
KDE functionality, but anything that requires glx is broken.

As an example, under Gutsy, when I run glxgears, the window that
*should* show a set of moving gears is just blank.  Meanwhile, in the
console screen where I ran the glxgears command, its showing appalling
performance calculations around 1.0 fps or less, until it finally
crashes.

I don't think that the issue is a matter of your card not being
supported as much as it seems to be an issue of nvidia-glx not working
correctly.

According to nvidia -- GeForce2 MX *is* supported by the later drivers
included in nvidia-glx.  However, its about the earliest card that is
still supported.

[Bug 155719] Re: nvidia-glx-legacy driver upgrades to nvidia-glx (gutsy)

2007-10-24 Thread David Wynn
Although the nvidia-glx-legacy should *not* have updated to nvidia-glx,
the nvidia-glx is the correct drivier for your card (unless its an FX Go
for laptops).

Here's a link giving the specifics as to which cards should be using
nvidia-glx and which should be using nvidia-glx-legacy:

http://nvidia.custhelp.com/cgi-
bin/nvidia.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=276&p_created=1119630054&p_sid=UlOouZOi&p_accessibility=0&p_redirect=&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPSZwX3NvcnRfYnk9JnBfZ3JpZHNvcnQ9JnBfcm93X2NudD01MDcmcF9wcm9kcz0mcF9jYXRzPSZwX3B2PSZwX2N2PSZwX3NlYXJjaF90eXBlPWFuc3dlcnMuc2VhcmNoX25sJnBfcGFnZT0y&p_li=&p_topview=1

Having said that, there *are* issues currently with the nvidia-glx
driver.  I use a GeForce FX 5700 LE and can get basic functionality
wiorking.  But anything glx-related is broken in Gutsy.  The nvidia-glx
driver in Feisty was working just fine with my card.

As these are updated, please make sure that the description of xbase-

"transitional" packages.  They are currently used as meta-packages, not
transitional packages.  This issue is still occurring in Feisty and

[Bug 96207] Feisty package pciutils depends on "obsolete" package

2007-03-25 Thread David Wynn
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pciutils

Package pciutils depends on package libpci2.  Package libpci2 describes
itself as an obsolete package.  This dependency needs to be reviewed.
If libpci2 is still needed, then the description for that package needs
to be changed, (if pciutils needs libpci2, then libpci2 is not
obsolete).  If the libpci2 dependency can be removed from pciutils,
please do so.

[Bug 64616] Ubuntu-Desktop (et al) still depends on xkeyboard-config

2006-10-07 Thread David Wynn
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubuntu-desktop

This is a problem in edgy ubuntu-desktop and all edgy variants (kubuntu-
desktop, edubuntu-desktop, etc).  These packages still depend on
xkeyboard-config.

But, xkeyboard-config has no real files and only depends on one package
(xkb-data).

All of these desktop packages need to be changed to depend on xkb-data.
