[Bug 227976] Re: liferea is slow on updating feeds if you have lots of feeds. multiple threads are needed for updating feeds.

2010-08-27 Thread Edward Steel
It seems the UI's model is directly implemented in a SQLite DB, so every
UI call is blocked while accessing a DB. Nevertheless, I don't
understand why the DB processing can't take place on a separate thread
that updates the UI. The UI could show old information and still remain
responsive!

This, very reasonable, bug report was closed upstream with no reason
given.

A very similar problem is now occurring on a macbook, having upgraded to

The flicker only occurs on a change of brightness -- either manual or

[Bug 173519] macbook, ACPI lid events occur without opening the lid (while lid is closed)

2007-12-02 Thread Edward Steel
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: acpid

I noticed the back light on my macbook was coming on when the lid was
closed (you can easily tell because the big apple lights up).

I ran tail -f -n0 /var/log/acpid.log and shut the lid. A little later
the light came on. I waited another five minutes and the output was as
follows:

[Sun Dec  2 21:26:01 2007] received event "button/lid LID0 0080 0023"

The 21:32 output is the actual opening of the lid. The 21:26 stuff is the 
mysterious backlight-is-coming-on event. Don't know what other information 
might be useful, but I'm running Gutsy, Linux 2.6.22-14-generic and acpid 1.0.4

[Bug 146443] Re: mouse point moves horizontally on its own on a macbook

2007-11-25 Thread Edward Steel
I have the same problem. It seems to occur after leaving the machine
idle for a while, and closing the lid. (Though this doesn't suspend,
just switches off the screen)

When I open it again the mouse pointer seems to randomly cycle between 3
types of behaviour. The first is that described by Étienne. The second
is that any movement with a single finger is interpreted as a scroll
(the touchpad is set to use two-finger scrolling). The third is normal
operation, which generally comes back eventually, but not always for
good. Quite often normal operation is restored for a little while and
then regresses again.

When working normally, the touchpad is very sensitive, to the point that
other people complain about it when using my laptop (I guess I'm used to
it). This would be another issue though, I guess.

[Bug 95962] Re: can't import from Canon Powershot A80 without running gphoto first

2007-08-25 Thread Edward Steel
I can confirm f-spot still fails to import on my dist-upgraded laptop
running gutsy as well as the tribe 4 live cd. Gthumb importer does work
however.

If I plug the camera in and select 'Import Photos' then cancel the
importer, f-spot imports fine. If however I press ignore, and then
attempt to import with f-spot, it fails. If I reassign the importer
program in system preferences to f-spot-import, as I have done, then the
import will fail also. This needs to be repeated each time the camera is
switched off then on again.

So in summary, this would appear to be an upstream problem with f-spot,
requiring another program to first connect to the camera. Should I file
upstream?

[Bug 130998] Re: ZyDAS 802.11b WiFi freezes kernel 2.6.22-9 in Gutsy Tribe 3

2007-08-20 Thread Edward Steel
Can confirm similar problem acting as wireless client (using zd1201.fw)
with an MSI UB11B dongle, same driver.

With zd1201 driver on linux 2.6.22-9 it freezes. With feisty
installation of 2.6.20-16 the same dongle on the same machine(s) works
fine. If I tail the logs, it gets as far as sending a DHCP request
before the freeze. This has been observed firstly on a desktop machine
acting as a headless server (SSHed over the wired connection to try to
setup the previously working wireless link), running gutsy tribe 4, then
with a laptop (gen1 macbook) running GGt4 from the live CD.

I would suspect the kernel, though I see that between the working and
broken configurations there is a difference in the versions for
NetworkManager, avahi-daemon and the kernel, all of which are doing
something around the time of the freeze.

The ID of the usb device is  "ID 0db0:6823". Any further information
required, let me know.

[Bug 44686] Re: Pressing multimedia buttons on laptop with lid closed should not turn on screen

2007-05-31 Thread Edward Steel
I can confirm this with an Apple MacBook and remote control. Closing the
lid initiates DPMS Off, pressing buttons on the remote (mapped to
XF86Media* multimedia keys) causes DPMS on.

I agree it seems to be g-p-m, not gnome-screensaver, that's doing this.
All I could do to mitigate it is to set the time-out for blank screen on
gnome-screensaver to a lower value, doesn't exactly solve the problem
though.

Just a note for the reproduction steps, this is best observed when g-p-m
is not set to lock the screen on lid close.

[Bug 95962] can't import from Canon Powershot A80 without running gphoto first

2007-03-25 Thread Edward Steel
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: f-spot

With current feisty, f-spot 0.3.5-0ubuntu1 and gphoto2 2.2.0 (libgphoto
2.3.0), I am unable to import photos from my Canon Powershot A80. It
gives the following in the console:

Testing gphoto path = usb:001,009

Error -114: LibGPhoto2.GPhotoException: Unknown Error

  at GPhotoCamera.InitializeCamera () [0x0] 
  at MainWindow.ImportCamera (System.String camera_device) [0x0]

nothing odd from dmesg:

But it is possible to get f-spot importing. If I run, for example,
`gphoto2 -L ' to list the files, it will do so without errors, then when
I run f-spot again, the camera will be accessed without problems. I
assume gphoto2 is doing some kind of initialisation or configuration
that fixes whatever libgphoto is having when used by F-Spot. Perhaps
this is an upstream bug, would be grateful for pointers on finding more
information.

[Bug 88748] Re: No keyboard input in X nor shell

2007-03-21 Thread Edward Steel
If you could find a file that mentions usbhid and/or pb_fnmode that
would be a great help, as that's probably the cause. If that file is set
that way by default on a new feisty it would show the maintainers what
they need to fix. (Or if it was something you did you need to change any
reference to pb_fnmode in usbhid to refer to hid instead)

Could you try (without the $ naturally)
$ grep usbhid /etc/modprobe.d/*
and 
$ grep pb_fnmode /etc/modprobe.d/*

and post the results if any?

Alternatively Kyle, Ben or anyone else, is usbhid.pb_fnmode set by
default anywhere in feisty? If so it needs to be changed to
hid.pb_fnmode. My upgrade was not a clean one, so I hesitate to draw any
conclusions.

[Bug 88748] Re: No keyboard input in X nor shell

2007-03-19 Thread Edward Steel
Well, pb_fnmode has disappeared completely from
/sys/module/usbhid/parameters.

Gentoo wiki to the rescue: the parameter is now set in the hid module,
so should be adjusted there.

Since usbhid won't load at all with that parameter and every piece of
information about changing FN key behaviour still talks about it, I
wonder if anyone else will have this problem upgrading to Feisty...

The fix is fairly simple: replace usbhid with hid. I'm going to do this
through sysfs in a script rather than modprobe.d in case it changes
again.

[Bug 88748] Re: No keyboard input in X nor shell

2007-03-19 Thread Edward Steel
OK, fixed for 2.6.20-12 and possibly earlier: usbhid complaining about
pb_fnmode option not being supported. That option was set in
/etc/modprobe.d/touchpad (by me, not by the system) so that pressing F1
gave F1 instead of . By default you need to do FN+F1.

I think this is new, as usbhid didn't complain before, and now when I
boot into the new kernel I have to use FN to get at the F-* keys. I can
live with that, since I've got wireless back. Will look for a new way to
get function behaviour back.

Fix in my case: remove /etc/modprobe.d/touchpad

Unfortunately this line did not improve things. I tried

I ran it text-mode. I can try and boot again if you like, and give you

[Bug 88748] No keyboard input in X nor shell

2007-02-28 Thread Edward Steel
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20

This seems to be a kernel problem, not a gdm problem, because even if I
boot in recovery mode I have no keyboard input whatsoever. I'm running a
first generation macbook and dist-upgraded today from edgy. This problem
occurs with generic or 386 versions.

I don't have an external keyboard to try, so I'm afraid there's not much
information I can get from the broken kernel (unless someone can tell me
some parameters to pass it through grub). The keyboard in question is an
apple internal keyboard using the usb driver.

In an attempt to find out something useful, I diffed the configs from my 
working kernel (.17) and 2.6.20-9-386, and the following lines caught my eye.
> CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN_MPR=y
> CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN_USA28=y
> CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN_USA28X=y
> CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN_USA28XA=y
> CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN_USA28XB=y
> CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN_USA19=y
> CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN_USA18X=y
> CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN_USA19W=y
> CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN_USA19QW=y
> CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN_USA19QI=y
> CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN_USA49W=y
> CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN_USA49WLC=y
They are all unset in my 2.6.17.

I'll try rebuilding the kernel with these lines unset as they are in my
working kernel, but am filing this report since it's such a stab in the
dark. Will update status if I find anything else.

In the meantime, could you advise how I can get more diagnostic
information? Any way of logging that would survive a reboot into the old
kernel? I have absolutely no keyboard control in 2.6.20-9.

I have the same high-processor usage while idle problem with beagled,
(so not the beagled-helper initial index problem). It's also on a laptop
and it's annoying.

I don't think this can really be as designed as joeshaw said, because
unticking *all* the boxes about indexing services, so that really it
shouldn't be doing anything, CPU still shoots up when idle. Only killing
beagled allows me to have a quiet-running laptop overnight.
