[Bug 492807] Re: laptop in hibernate mode consumes power

2010-01-14 Thread Isaac Dupree
Can you easily remove/re-insert your laptop battery? If you do your
steps to reproduce the bug, but then remove both battery and AC at the
same time** (and then put them back), can you still resume? (in which
case it seems like it was suspended to both disk and ram, but taking
away the power should end the ram-suspension. **no guarantees that doing
this is safe for your computer, I doubt anything would break, but you
have choose whether to take your own risk)

I never hibernate (for irrelevant reasons), so I can't test.

running KMail under GNOME (I installed kubuntu-desktop not as default,
just to make sure I had all the dependencies).

Right-click to bring up the context menu on some message; the first time

exited the menu; the second time, KMail crashed a few seconds after I
closed the menu without doing anything.

[Bug 59695] Re: High frequency of load/unload cycles on some hard disks may shorten lifetime

2009-01-25 Thread Isaac Dupree
Steve Langasek: sure, there's a tradeoff... but with sufficient
knowledge, perhaps we could make it less bad.  Suppose the hard-drive is
specced to 60 load-cycles.  With smartctl we can measure the current
number of load-cycles.  Suppose there have already been 70 load-
cycles: wouldn't you think it'd be pushing your luck to park the head
frequently, even if it saves power in the short run?  More seriously,
suppose you decrease or stop that behavior earlier, say at 50 or
30 load-cycles: so an older drive will use more power on battery,
but at least Linux would then obey the principle of do no harm.  (If
the hard-drive dies, the user has to replace it; if the hard-drive is
just inefficient, the user still has the choice of replacing it, and is
also less likely to lose data.)

Now we can look at something desired like There should be fewer than
~15 load cycles per hour, except during heavy usage while on battery.
that makes new drives last at least four years... if we adjust that
number 15 in proportion to the actual (spec - load_cycle_count), then
we'll manage to keep the drive pretty much safe from this kind of
wearing-out!

however!

- we may not know the spec (is it bad to assume that it's 60)?

- hard drives seem to be quite uncooperative: there might not be *any*
good way to tell one don't park any more often than X times an hour,
even though there's a darned simple algorithm (disk remembers the last
time it parked the head, and refuses to park the head again for the next
1/X hours).  But maybe there's a way we can ensure that (frequent hdparm
-B to different values? Is doing that likely to wear out the drive in
any odd way?)

[Bug 59695] Re: High frequency of load/unload cycles on some hard disks may shorten lifetime

2008-12-20 Thread Isaac Dupree
Intrepid x86_64 MacBook2,1. (a page related to this hardware:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook2-1/Hardy )

bad: Wait 10 minutes (working or not, but system running), and
Load_Cycle_Count increases by 5 to 10.  That's 30-60 LCC an hour, which
is too much.

`hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda` works as long as it lasts, which is until
suspend or reboot.  It seems to prevent Load_Cycle_Count increasing
(except by 1 when suspending to ram or rebooting of course).  My
particular hard-drive specs seem to say that hdparm value will make it
wait 15 minutes before parking the head, so it's possible it would park
after 15 minutes of actual disk inactivity, which would be a good thing
(I wasn't patient enough to check).

Enabling laptop-mode (in /etc/default/acpi-support -- I know it worked
because then, on battery, /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode would contain 2
rather than 0) didn't solve Load_Cycle_Count increasing, neither when on
battery nor when on AC, and even though /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-
mode.conf settings are mostly good in their default e.g.
CONTROL_HD_POWERMGMT=1, LM_AC_HD_POWERMGMT=254,
NOLM_AC_HD_POWERMGMT=254, LM_AC_MAX_LOST_WORK_SECONDS=360... though it's
possible that both AC and battery are slipping through the cracks in
various ways (maybe battery, uses HD_POWERMGMT=1, and AC, not on LM and
doesn't save disk-writes over time).  (I also noticed that, while writes
can be delayed given enough RAM, reading data from the disk that's not
already cached -- e.g. starting up a new application -- cannot be, so
we're just relying on that not being needed most of the time a
computer's running in laptop-mode.)

I put this into /etc/pm/sleep.d/99-save-hd.sh (with chmod +x) (note bug 
#244839) :
{{{
#!/bin/sh
hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda
}}}
It runs, once on each suspend and once on each resume, which works for me 
(Load_Cycle_Count measured not increasing).  I'm not sure if that script, or 
indeed anything, runs on system start, though -- but I personally mostly 
suspend/resume and rarely shut down, so this works good enough for me.

2008-10-28 Thread Isaac Dupree
what a mess. re: you simply can't run long enough on batteries for this
to happen, well, it's easy to.  Unplug your computer, use it for three
hours wherever, then suspend/shut it down/ignore it and plug it back in
for a while to recharge, then repeat.  Do this every day.  It's easy to
have a habit of almost always running on battery.

P.S. personally plugged in is not a good match for not in danger --
even when plugged in, my computer can often easily slip out of my lap,
but sometimes I run not-plugged-in on the top of a stable desk.  So I
have a bit of an issue with using on battery to mean likely to be
dropped while being used (if it's not being actively used, then I'm
guessing there probably will not be much disk activity so the disk/head
might as well be parked anyway?)

had the vulnerability, just removing the annoyance.  But looking in its
preferences, it looks like it actually does store the entire domain-

fixes the problem, due to using Gecko 1.9 (Firefox 3's engine).

[Bug 229499] Re: Latency regression with real time kernel and dynamic ticks feature

2008-06-17 Thread Isaac Dupree
Did it really need to be disabled in linux-generic as well, not just in
linux-rt?  (Or is the changelog in update-manager just lying to me and
it didn't actually change in linux-2.6.24-19-generic??) (I'm on Hardy
x86)

[Bug 239360] [NEW] IMAP/certificate/security weakness/needing to restart Thunderbird

2008-06-11 Thread Isaac Dupree
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird

I'm not sure how many bugs this is. But here we go:

Background: I have an IMAP email account on my website
cedarswampstudios.org, which is hosted by HostGo.  I use TLS in
Account Settings/Server Settings (*not* TLS, if available), and check
for new messages on startup and every 10 minutes... And this pretty much
works for me; however...

When I start up Thunderbird, and periodically at random times thereafter
(not nearly as often as every ten minutes), it brings up a dialog:

{{{
Security Error: Domain Name Mismatch

You have attempted to establish a connection with
mail.cedarswampstudios.org. However, the security certificate
presented belongs to babylon.hostgo.com. It is possible, though
unlikely, that someone may be trying to intercept your communication
with this web site. [BTW, a comment from me: babylon.hostgo.com isn't
a *web* site. It's just some server in DNS. So the message is
technically wrong...]

If you suspect the certificate shown does not belong to
mail.cedarswampstudios.org, please cancel the connection and notify
the site administrator.

View Certificate / Cancel / OK
}}}

I have to pick OK every time: the certificate belonging to
babylon.hostgo.com is perfectly expected by me.  This is a security
problem, because what if some day it instead says ''However, the
security certificate presented belongs to hax0rz.com.''?  I would
never notice.  Thus it becomes a useless and annoying warning message.
(Unless Thunderbird learns to memorize that mail.cedarswampstudios.org
corresponds with babylon.hostgo.com, that will always be a security
problem, so I'd be happy enough if it were possible to disable that
warning.)  But things are worse than just security and popups:

If I let that dialog remain too long before saying OK (maybe a few minutes is 
long enough?),
(Also, losing my internet connection for a while might have the same effect, 
I'm not sure),
then I can't read my messages on that account again until I quit and restart 
Thunderbird, because, if I try to read those messages, no matter how many times 
I try, it instead tells me:

{{{
Alert

Thunderbird can't connect securely to mail.cedarswampstudios.org because
the site uses a security protocol which isn't enabled.

OK
}}}

giving me no option to try again and see if the security protocols are
fixed yet! (I don't think they were ever broken on the server's end in
the first place -- except perhaps in that the server times out after
several minutes while Thunderbird is stuck waiting for me to answer
Security Error: Domain Name Mismatch -- as the server should, but
Thunderbird should then handle that correctly.)

As for why the random times of the Security Error: Domain Name Mismatch:
perhaps it's related to the way my Internet connection tends to
disappear for a few seconds, a few times a day, in a way that
disconnects me from IRC, online games like Wesnoth multiplayer, etc.  Or
perhaps not, because I've experienced this everywhere: not just with
this one internet connection, and, IIRC, with Thunderbird 2.0 on
GoboLinux as well as on every version of Ubuntu that's had 2.0 (I'm on
Hardy now).

(off-topic: annoyingly I had to type out both those dialog messages by
hand since I can't seem to select/copy the text from the Thunderbird
dialog boxes.)

[Bug 104060] Re: Synaptics Touchpad reset fails on resume from suspend to ram/disk (hp nx7400, feisty)

2008-06-04 Thread Isaac Dupree
on Hardy, June 2007 MacBook.  Had no problem on Gutsy.  Same problem
with suspend-to-ram and lost touchpad configuration that can be restored
by switching VT (despite that suspend/resume switches to a console from
X while suspended...).  Doing things with `psmouse` doesn't have any
effect -- after all, it's not normally loaded on my laptop.  Rather,
module `appletouch` is: removing and adding that module causes the
symptoms too.  Putting `appletouch` in /etc/pm/config.d/config
SUSPEND_MODULES didn't fix things: it actually broke them, so my
touchpad didn't work at all even though `appletouch` was loaded, such
that I had to then unload and reload `appletouch` explicitly, and then
switch VT and back.

Hmm, the following comment in /etc/acpi/resume.d/65-console.sh (not
being used in Hardy) looks interesting, I wonder if there's any evidence
or documentation anywhere in the linux-world that could elaborate the
statement...


# Some hardware needs another X/console switch in order to bring stuff back
chvt $CONSOLE;
if [ x$DOUBLE_CONSOLE_SWITCH = xtrue ]; then
  chvt 12;
  chvt $CONSOLE;
fi

[Bug 215529] Re: WiFi card is slow in 8.04 beta 5

this worked for Chrissy:

sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M
and then shut off my wireless

so probably the /etc/network/interfaces modification suggested in the

[Bug 182269] mplayer keyboard input doesn't work on macbook

2008-01-12 Thread Isaac Dupree

[Bug 70302] Re: no ghci in edgy (regression vs dapper)

2007-08-12 Thread Isaac Dupree
As long as GHC has no registerised-powerpc maintainer (which I believe
is still true), and ghc bug #631 remains unfixed
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/631 (even if it is fixed in
GHC 6.8, that won't be out in time for Gutsy, but 6.8 will be in time
for gutsy+1), I don't think this bug is going to be fixed.  I think the
best bet is to hope for #631 to be fixed soon, then let the Debian
packagers turn on GHCi for the unregisterised architectures, and (if I
understand the process correctly) Ubuntu can then inherit those changes
from Debian as soon as practicable.

Although, I'm not sure how important bootstrap issues with [(some
particular)] older ghcs are as time passes, in debian-ish environments,
(and I'm not using ubuntu anymore either (for one thing, the two
projects' release cycles and practices help Ubuntu be chronically behind
by one on the newest GHC release...))

[Bug 69264] Re: xfdesktop supposedly crashed

2007-08-11 Thread Isaac Dupree
Unfortunately, I don't believe I still have an Xubuntu Feisty
(especially not on powerpc. I got a new Macbook, first installed Ubuntu,
now I'm running GoboLinux).  I don't particularly remember the above
issue seeming resolved, but then, I also remember XFCE seeming generally
more stable in Feisty than in Dapper or Edgy.  If there's no evidence in
favor of the bug still existing, I'd say this is a useless bug-
report/issue at this time (since there was never a good way to reproduce
it)... of course if someone else comes along and has the issue, they
should be able to mention it.

[Bug 119825] installer created syntactically incorrect fstab given partition names containing spaces

2007-06-11 Thread Isaac Dupree
Public bug reported:

On my MacBook which now has a hybrid GPT/MBR partition table, installing
Ubuntu 7.04 (choosing i386 edition even though the processor does have
64-bit capabilities) from the CD, generated an incorrect /etc/fstab
file.  The partition named EFI system partition (without the quotes,
and this name already existed on my disk) was inserted in the fstab with
the spaces replaced with tabs, the field separator in the fstab.  They
should not be replaced.  Also I had earlier made a fat16 partition
myself that I put grub2 on, and (in parted) changed the name to GRUB2
bootloaders (again, without the quotes) and that line in the installed
Feisty's fstab also had the same problem.  (Not that I want those
entries in my fstab, unless they have noauto, which they don't!)

P.S.  I didn't want it to install GRUB Legacy, so I customized it to get
an error in the install (I changed (hd0) to (hd5,8) which doesn't
exist).  Why is it a _fatal_ error when grub-install fails (and is there
anything important in the installation process that comes after that?)

[Bug 107258] boot splash choice between kubuntu/ubuntu/xubuntu is odd after upgrade to feisty

2007-04-17 Thread Isaac Dupree
Public bug reported:

After upgrade to Feisty, having booted with XFCE as default (g?x?)dm
session, logged in to GNOME and said yes, make that my default
session, and upgraded from Edgy using update-manager -d, the new
kernel's boot-splash artwork is for Kubuntu!

(looks duplicate of bug #23252, but kubuntu-artwork-usplash wasn't
installed until after that bug was marked fixed. Indeed it seems symlink
/etc/alternatives/usplash-artwork.so - /usr/lib/usplash/usplash-theme-
kubuntu.so, but should it be?)

I don't know what the bootsplash artwork was before the upgrade (I had
it turned off, since it had been buggy with my monitor).

History:
Install from Dapper 6.06 CD. (gnome is default, of course)
Install xubuntu-desktop, then switch to that as my computer's default session.
Soon after Edgy is released, upgrade to it. Since that upgrade was buggy for 
xubuntu, I used command-line dist-upgrade stuff, had to install the x server 
which seemingly had been removed, and fixed up some package problems later.
2006-12-18: install konqueror (I don't think this is relevant, but it's the 
first bit of KDE I installed, including kdebase dependencies)
2007-03-26: install kubuntu-desktop (which included the first time 
kubuntu-artwork-usplash was installed).
I tried logging in with the kde session a few times. I don't remember if I set 
it to my default session before switching back to XFCE permanently.
2007-04-15: upgrade to feisty (beta-testing!) (straightforward update-manager 
-d, though I did run a bit low on disk space). See above for session details 
(which don't involve KDE/kubuntu at all!). During the upgrade it asked me if I 
wanted to switch to kdm and I said no.
2007-04-17: actually try running using the feisty kernel (2.6.20-15-powerpc) (I 
keep the kernels I run on a separate partition that I manually update)

Apparently (by aptitude show foo) ubuntu-desktop is not installed now, nor 
xubuntu-desktop, but kubuntu-desktop is.  Based on /var/log/dpkg.log.*, it 
appears that my upgrade to Edgy removed those two meta-packages.
usplash-theme-ubuntu, kubuntu-artwork-usplash, and xubuntu-artwork-usplash are 
all installed. (I'm guessing these are all parallel packages, despite the 
naming discrepancy.)

Another oddity is that the first time I booted into feisty, I got a
Xubuntu-themed login screen but my default login was GNOME.  I guess
that's due to not restarting assuming they're managed differently, but
maybe it would be considered a bug.

During the upgrade, I was watching the logged details. It seems the
initramfs was updated haphazardly, an ungodly wasteful number of times -
but this doesn't seem relevant, other than that the initrd did end up
consistent with /etc/alternatives.  I could attach /var/log/dpkg.log or
something if the order packages were upgraded in seems important.

Either: my upgrade to Edgy was sufficiently unsupported, OR the boot
artwork is supposed to be the most recently installed package regardless
of what session the rest of the system uses, OR there's some bug here.
How is the boot screen supposed to distinguish between different flavors
of Ubuntu? Why? I could possibly even boot a whole different distro with
that kernel+initrd if I wanted!

[Bug 70972] Sometimes three programs crash when closing up in Xubuntu

2006-11-08 Thread Isaac Dupree
Public bug reported:

I originally installed from the standard PowerPC Dapper LiveCD. I soon
installed the xubuntu-desktop and switched to it as my default session.
Sometimes three windows come up all at once saying programs crashed,
namely, evolution-alarm-notify, update-notifier, and gnome-volume-
manager.  This has happened, not reliably, but several times both in
Dapper and Edgy.  It seems to happen when I'm closing stuff and shutting
down my computer.  This time (Edgy Xubuntu) (whose crash-logs will be
attached) I had just closed two windows owned by separate instances of
the program Terminal.  I didn't notice doing anything else
particularly of note at that time, although I did have Thunderbird,
Firefox, OpenOffice, and another Terminal instance also running at the
same time.

I don't know what evolution-alarm-notify or gnome-volume-manager are, or
why they're running (since I don't exactly use GNOME or Evolution), but
I think I know update-notifier -- the thing that sometimes appears in
the GUI, even in Xubuntu, to make it easy to keep the system up to date.

[Bug 70302] no ghci in edgy (regression vs dapper)

2006-11-04 Thread Isaac Dupree
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ghc6

ghci is the interpreter mode of GHC, the Glasgow Haskell Compiler.

In Dapper I could use GHCi.  After upgrading to Edgy:
$ ghci
ghc-6.4.2: not built for interactive use

This also affects the runhaskell/runghc commands.  This interferes with
using the Haskell Cabal build infrastructure, although `runhugs +98
Setup.lhs [arguments...]`can be used instead to work around this
particular problem. (The +98 is needed to work around a problem with the
Haskell interpreter hugs, but I'm not sure if /that's/ more Edgy's or
Hugs's fault.)

IIRC, GHC needs to be built with the exact same version of itself in
order for GHCi to work.

It's too bad edgy's ghc is only 6.4.2 not 6.6, but I suppose that (1) is
irrelevant and (2) can't be changed now that Edgy is released.

[Bug 70302] Re: no ghci in edgy (regression vs dapper)

2006-11-04 Thread Isaac Dupree
Oops, I meant runhugs -98, not +98 -- its flags are so confusing.  Probably 
this should be in a separate bug report somewhere, but, here is the messages I 
get for doing that the wrong way:
runhugs: Error occurred
ERROR /usr/lib/hugs/libraries/Text/ParserCombinators/ReadP.hs:133 - Syntax 
error in type expression (unexpected `.')

[Bug 69264] xfdesktop supposedly crashed

2006-10-30 Thread Isaac Dupree
Public bug reported:

When I logged in I got the funny bomb picture telling me there was a bug
report and xfdesktop had crashed.  Apparently that was from before I
shut down my computer yesterday.  How odd.  I haven't noticed any ill
effects.  I upgraded to Edgy a couple days ago, on Saturday the 28th,
and I've installed whatever updates the automatic update-tracker tells
me to.
