[Bug 445849] Re: Highpitched Rattling like Sound with 5.1 Surround Configuration on Karmic Koala

2010-05-14 Thread Desh Danz
@Jean-François Fortin Tam
sorry but we're talking about a major bug dragging itself since a consistent 
amount of months and two different releases, that no one care of, and see 
effort put in lower boot time under 10 seconds as a priority over the correct  
functioning of the software.

I think we have proven decent patience until now but the bug is still
there and make our hardware useless.

I pointed two viable and consistent alternative, either uninstall
pulseaudio and use alsa instead or try Kubuntu which, thankfully, does
not ship with pa. Why should I refrain from this?

@ Jerther
I'm more than persuaded of what I said, but you're right, it can be considered 
a mere personal opinion, therefore I should had avoid put that phrase there. 
However, the tip is still valid, I hope you could have a good enjoy with 
kubuntu ;-)

[Bug 445849] Re: Highpitched Rattling like Sound with 5.1 Surround Configuration on Karmic Koala

2010-05-12 Thread Desh Danz
eh ehhh... as I said, that's just ridiculous...
when I wrote this some time ago someone did even blame my post as flame and 
so...

Now that a new release is out I can't but confirm my original
impression: this bug is frankly ridiculous because ridiculous is having
it even in the new release after six months of bug report, and in a LTS
release one too!!! Does it mean we can hope to benefit from such a bug
for at least the next 3 years of support? Very good, wow...

In this post
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/445849/comments/121
I suggested getting completely rid of PulseAudio.
Ok, you had to manage with some inconvenient because of the thight integration 
devs just thought to put beetween PA and Gnome, but at least you would been 
able to use your 5.1 system and, as a plus, you would had seen your pc run way 
more smoothly than before.

Now I suggest something really better from all point of view. Skip Ubuntu Lucid 
completely. Just switch to Kubuntu Lucid Lynx.
Kubuntu use KDE that is a more evolute DM than Gnome and, even more important, 
it DOES NOT USE pulseaudio! Simply and clean. Give it a try and definetely 
forgot pulseaudio and its bugs.

[Bug 445849] Re: Highpitched Rattling like Sound with 5.1 Surround Configuration on Karmic Koala

2010-03-21 Thread Desh Danz
All this situation is, at the least, a bit demotivating... months have
passed by and the bug is still here...

Today I've downloaded the first public beta of Lucid Lynx and after live
booting the cd I've been welcomed at the desktop, with my delight, by
exactly the same issue: setting my sound device to 5.1 speaker
configuration lead to rattling sound issue from speaker.

After that I've decided to do the only logic thing I've should had done many 
months ago, that is completely remove Pulseaudio and come back to use ALSA 
instead.
Now my audio is good again, i've no more problem configuring my 5.1 speaker 
system and another couple of PA bugs are also gone with it.

I'm very sad about this situation...
I really can't catch how... how Ubuntu think itself as a viable alternative to 
commercial OS, I can't catch how Canonical hopes to play a reliable role in the 
market place with situation like this going on over months and release...

I do really hope things could change, but I'm afraid it's more than
likely the next Ubuntu LTS will be out with this issue still affecting
the system and goes on.

[Bug 483724] [NEW] ASCII-Art -vo doesn't work in Mplayer Karmic

2009-11-16 Thread Desh Danz
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mplayer

Tried it under Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10:

mplayer -vo aa myvideo.avi

doesn't output video ASCII art at all, it plays only audio.
I've digged in the .deb source and I've noticed the ascii-arts flag isn't 
enabled, and libaa1 isn't in the dependencies list.

Why this?

I confirm the same issue on Karmic 64 installed from scratch.
I uncheck the 'Keep aligned' option but next login the option is checked again. 
Even a simple desktop refresh with F5 return to checked 'Keep aligned'.
Very annoying bug...

Same problem here, though I don't know whether this is a bug or simply a wrong 
decision about the desktop management policy it's really quite annoying 
re-enter your password every single time you have to change frequency of your 
microprocessor after a couple of minutes.
Hope it can be fixed soon!

[Bug 420933] Re: Current grub-pc takes several minutes to show menu

2009-11-09 Thread Desh Danz
Same bug on my system:

sda -- Win XP (and MBR) (NTFS)
sdb -- data  backup partition (NTFS)
sdc -- Karmic 64 with /boot (ext4)

45-50 seconds of spotless disk trashing at boot, then Karmic starts.
Karmic itself should even be really fast to boot but the Grub2 useless
waiting time defeats any benefit Karmic can bring.

Any news on bugfixing state?

[Bug 384014] Re: Sony Ericsson W300i support broken on Jaunty

2009-06-23 Thread Desh Danz
I've just tried Ubuntu Karmic Koala Alpha2 with kernel version 2.6.30
and have had exactly the same behaviour than with Jaunty kernel. Ubuntu
fails to recognize the cell phone.

The lsusb command outputs nothing concerning the w300i.

Some hints?

[Bug 384014] [NEW] Sony Ericsson W300i support broken on Jaunty

2009-06-05 Thread Desh Danz
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic

I've always connected my Sony Ericsson w300i to Intrepid Ibex 64 bit via
USB, and Ubuntu regularly recognized the cell phone as an external hard
drive (to manage my pictures and videos), as well as a modem too
(something that I've never used though).

Recently I've upgraded the OS from Intrepid 64 bit to Jaunty 64 bit 
(linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic) and that Ubuntu version seems to be unable to 
recognize the cell.
I connect it via USB, as usual, but the system doesn't see the cell at all, the 
lsusb command show nothing about the w300i:

lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

so I can't even mount the partitions via fstab.

I think it could be a kernel problem, but it can be a hal bug too, so I hope 
you can help me!
Thank you a lot!
