[Bug 1798961] Re: Random unrecoverable freezes on Ubuntu 18.10

2019-05-25 Thread Iain Murray
I was getting random freezes on a Dell Latitude E7450 with Intel HD
Graphics 5500, with no hints as to the cause in logs that I could find.
Freezes could happen multiple times a day when in heavy use, but often
more like once a week. I followed the advice in #42 a month ago and have
had no freezes since (fingers crossed!).

Currently on 18.04.2 LTS with 4.15.0-50-generic, but also had freezes on
16.04 LTS, starting around autumn 2018. Although had been using this
laptop since 2015 without problem before that.

2019-02-02 Thread Iain Murray
The fix is to install the makedev package first, which provides the
MAKEDEV script that's required as part of the package setup.

If a Ubuntu maintainer could add makedev to the dependencies for
mouseemu, that would be great :-).

[Bug 943195] Re: xpdf.real crashed with SIGSEGV in GooHash::hash()

2012-06-24 Thread Iain Murray
Following comment #27 I rebuilt the precise source package using the
patch from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=49;mbox=yes;bug=658264 and the crashes stopped for
me.

I hope a fix can make it into 12.04.1 -- it would be frustrating if the
LTS Ubuntu boxes that will be around for years all have a completely
broken xpdf.

[Bug 694910] Re: Regression: patch to bug 539477 breaks Super+P keybindings

2012-06-19 Thread Iain Murray
@Vinh sorry I didn't see your request. I have a later version than you,
3.2.2. If you have an earlier Ubuntu release, maybe try the work-around
I linked to in the first comment?

The good news is that this issue may have been fixed in Ubuntu "precise"
12.04. I just installed that on a new machine and I don't seem to have
the issue.  Although the offending code still seems to be there, so I'm
not sure what's going on. I don't currently have the time to upgrade the
machines that had the issue before.

BTW in gnome-settings-daemon 3.4.2, which comes with Ubuntu 12.04,
acme.h got renamed shortcuts-list.h

[Bug 694910] Re: Regression: patch to bug 539477 breaks Super+P keybindings

2011-11-06 Thread Iain Murray
Correction: one now needs to disable the media keys plugin instead of
the xrandr plugin (using dconf) to prevent p being stolen. This
new fix breaks different things to before. For my machine I've
recompiled gnome-settings-daemon to get rid of the problem. If anyone
else wants to do the same, the offending shortcut is in acme.h, search
for VIDEO_OUT_KEY.

[Finding this file reminded me that media key handling used to be in a
standalone program called acme. It's a shame that gnome moved away from
providing simple standalone programs that could be taken in isolation.]

I just wasted a bunch more time because of this bug. The xrandr plugin to 
gnome-settings-daemon is now configured in dconf not in gconf: 
http://askubuntu.com/questions/68463/how-to-disable-global-super-p-shortcut
Because there's no option to stop the keybinding being stolen, one still has to 
disable it entirely.

2011-01-06 Thread Iain Murray
I applied the workaround in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/539477/comments/64
to make super+p work again in Maverick at the expense of breaking the
Gnome monitor settings GUI.

For those suffering, possible workarounds to the breakage the workaround
causes are: a) to change monitor settings with the Gnome control panel,
temporarily undo the workaround; or b) drive xrandr from the command
line or use the arandr GUI front-end to xrandr instead of the Gnome GUI.

[Bug 539477] Re: Video out hot key sends super + p + return on many upcoming Dell & HP systems

2010-12-23 Thread Iain Murray
Again, the super+p keybinding is broken for all user applications when
running gnone-settings-daemon, and the option to fix the problem is not
discoverable (and may have other side effects). I disabled all the
keybindings in gnome-keybinding-properties and performed various other
hair-pulling before discovering the cause was this "fix". The committed
patch causes a frustrating regression.

[Bug 191452] [NEW] C standard library functions div() or ldiv() produces incorrect answers when compiled with tcc

2008-02-12 Thread Iain Murray
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: tcc

Both div and ldiv give spurious results when compiled with tcc. For
example, the following program:

#include 
#include 

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
div_t ans = div(27, 10);
printf("quot = %d; rem = %d\n", ans.quot, ans.rem);

return 0;
}

This should (and does when compiled with gcc) print:
quot = 2; rem = 7
When compiling with tcc I get:
quot = 8; rem = 7

I am running gutsy and was using the tcc that ships with that. I also built and 
installed the version from hardy:
tcc 0.9.24~cvs20070502-2
Same results.

Also using LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, the zoom options:
Page Width
Optimal
Entire Page

are replaced with blank text in the zoom drop down list and the zoom
dialog in at least oowriter and oodraw.

The problem is fixed by changing to en_US.UTF-8.

Presumably someone that knows how needs to thoroughly review openoffice

[Bug 71407] gataxx won't save computer difficulty above 3

2006-11-11 Thread Iain Murray
Public bug reported:

If a computer player is set to the highest difficulty level this is not
remembered on closing and reopening gataxx. Instead the difficulty gets
reset to "Medium".

Looking in gconf-editor the blacklevel or whitelevel keys are correctly
set to 5, but the comment at the bottom says that only levels 0 or 1--3
are expected.

[Bug 32963] Re: Xv movies on 810/i945 gives horrible color, Gamma

2006-08-03 Thread Iain Murray
I have similar washed out videos under some circumstances with an "Intel
Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device" using the i810
driver. This is a Dell Inspiron 710m. I'm running 6.06 LTS originally
installed from an official CD with whatever updates apt offered me.

My impression is that it is a totem-xine and gxine bug.

If I watch movies with xine (from the xine-ui package) or mplayer after
an X restart then everything is fine. xvattr information (given later)
is not changed by running xine or mplayer.

Movies under totem (totem-xine) are washed out. The values reported by
xvattr change, but are reset after closing totem. Moves subsequently
play ok in xine or mplayer. Totem can also play movies fine if xvattr
values are fixed after starting totem.

Movies under gxine are washed out, xvattr values are changed (although
not to same values as by totem) and stay changed. Movies in xine or
mplayer are washed out until an X restart or xvattr stuff changed back
by hand. Again gxine plays fine if fix xvattr values by hand while gxine
running.

I get the following xvattr output after X restart: and stays the same after 
running xine(-ui) or totem(-xine):
% xvattr
Found Xv 2.2
Adaptor: 0
Name: Intel(R) Video Overlay
 Port: 73

  Name: XV_CONTRAST
   Flags: XvGettable XvSettable
   Min value: 0
   Max value: 255
   Current value: 48

The values are reset after closing totem, but while it is running I get:
% xvattr

  Name: XV_COLORKEY

   Current value: -1
  Name: XV_CONTRAST
   Flags: XvGettable XvSettable
   Min value: 0
   Max value: 255
   Current value: 127

After running (and closing) gxine I get:
% xvattr

Name: Intel(R) Video Overlay
 Port: 73
  Name: XV_COLORKEY
   Flags: XvGettable XvSettable

   Current value: 128

I've been fixing color washouts by running:
xvattr -a XV_CONTRAST -v 48 ; xvattr -a XV_BRIGHTNESS -v -5

Why (with the default settings, which I haven't touched) don't
totem/gxine just leave the xvattr settings alone?
