[Bug 1015211] Re: Ubiquity installed grub-efi when it should have installed grub-pc

2013-01-23 Thread DavidEscott
As a practical matter there really should be an override for the
installer. I suspect Win7 will continue to exist for a number of years
and with that there will continue to be UEFI systems that are configured
to boot /dev/sda in bios mode but which will by default be configured to
boot any other media it sees in EFI mode. Its really confusing to
explain to someone that they have to go into their EFI firmware and
fiddle with boot options to get the CD/USB keychain booting in bios
mode.

My suggestion would be:
a) One the partitioning screen a button that says "My other OS is not shown" 
which then scans for an mbr table and shows the non-bootable Windows partition.
b) A quick bit of text that says "This operating system seems to be configured 
in a way that will not boot. If you know this is incorrect you may override the 
installation"
c) If the user clicks "yes" continue the install but assume that the system is 
a BIOS partition ignoring all evidence to the contrary.

[Bug 660649] Re: fsck.btrfs not found in the system

2011-04-02 Thread DavidEscott
btrfs check is adding ~75 seconds to my boot. I would like to see this
symlink removed until the tools works better.

[Bug 402009] [NEW] XOrg fails to detect when monitors are turn on late in boot

2009-07-20 Thread DavidEscott
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I believe this is a regression, as I don't remember this behavior from
the past, although I do not have a configuration to test. Running fglrx
(dual head) on Jaunty.

When booting with the monitors powered Xorg auto-detects that no
monitors are present. When the monitors are later turned on, X is not
informed, and no usable configuration is generated. Since DoNotZap is
set, user cannot kill GDM. In a standard desktop configuration, no
recovery is possible except for a hard reset.

If X fails to detect a usable configuration, it should retry.

** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu)

 Status: New
