[Bug 572038] Re: Update Manager does not prompt to upgrade to 10.04 if LTS upgrades option is set in sources.list

2010-05-01 Thread J Jones
Michael,

So when will the update be offered to 8.04 users?  I still have several
machines on 8.04 and couldn't figure out why the update wasn't showing
up yet.

I also have a machine on 9.04 that doesn't show 10.04 as an upgrade
option even when I select Long term support releases only.  It only
shows 9.10 and only then when I select Normal releases in the Update
Manager settings.

OK.  Thanks.  I did not realize that was the case and the upgrade manager 
didn't provide any hints.  Perhaps there should be a note about this in the 
update manager?  I'm sure I'm not the first person to wonder why the LTS 
release wasn't offered.

J Jones: version skip upgrading is only supported from LTS to LTS, so your 
9.04 machine will have to go to 9.10 first.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: update-manager

Update Manager does not prompt to upgrade with LTS releases only
selected in software sources.

On my brothers 9.10 machine I brought up update manager, installed all
updates, rebooted as requested. Went back into update manager and hit
check: no prompt to upgrade.

Tried update-manager -d via F2 run app, still no option.

Tried via terminal via aptitude and apt-get , it says no update
available or just does not upgrade dep on which command was used.

To get it to pop up, I had to go into software sourcesupdatesrelease
upgradeshow new distribution releases and change the option to normal
releases. It then came up and I was able to begin the upgrade.

As we all are aware, 10.04 is an LTS release. It seems as if maybe the
system does not realize that? Not sure if this carries into 10.04.

I'm the original submitter and ran across another bug report that
describes this behavior for Toshiba laptops and other laptops without
sound adjustment keys.  Most of the troubleshooting work has already
been done on that bug report, so I'm marking this bug as a duplicate of
271706.  This is definitely the same problem that has been evident since
about Ubuntu 8.10.

2009-05-09 Thread J Jones
Not sure why work on this bug has stopped???

I've discovered that if I kill the process gnome-settings, then I can
recover the computer to a usable state.  Some of the ubuntu-specific
appearance tweaks are gone (back to the standard gnome panel for
instance), but everything works.  If I use the system for a while
without touching the volume knob, then eventually I trigger gnome-
settings to restart somehow and everything goes back to normal with the
default ubuntu appearance.

Maybe this bug report should be moved to the package gnome-settings.

And I'm not sure how to find out if gnome-settings has been updated from
what was on the original 9.04 distribution CD.

Thanks for the help.  This bug is the only reason that I haven't yet
upgraded to 9.04.  Otherwise this is a fabulous version of Ubuntu.

[Bug 335201] Re: gnome-settings-daemon grabs my keyboard and won't let go

2009-05-09 Thread J Jones
I have the same bug on my Toshiba laptop running the 9.04 live CD.

When I adjust the volume knob on the side of the laptop, gnome-settings
goes into some funky state where it continually triggers notify-osd.
Even with only a minor volume adjustment, the volume will run away to
full maximum or full mininum and continue to stay there.  It effectively
locks up the keyboard and the gnome panel, but the mouse still works for
some things.

I originally thought the problem was notify-osd which was running at
100% of CPU, but some investigation with the help of the notify-osd guys
shows the problem is likely gnome-settings.  If I kill gnome-settings
then everything works fine, but without the Ubuntu appearance.  If I do
something to trigger a restart of gnome-settings (like change the
wallpaper), then the Ubuntu appearance comes back and everything works
just fine until I touch the volume knob again.  Then the entire process
repeats.  In my case this is very reproducible and is triggered only by
the volume knob, but not the on-screen volume slider which can be safely
adjusted with the mouse.

My previous work on this issue can be found at bug 367069 which is
probably a duplicate of this one.

[Bug 367069] Re: notify-osd runs at 100% of CPU locking up X

2009-04-28 Thread J Jones
I downloaded and ran the scripts.  I got the message that the command
notify-send was not installed, so I installed the package libnotify-
bin and ran them again.

Both scripts seem to work just fine.  The notification popped up, showed
an increasing volume and then the notifications disappeared and
notify-osd went back to sleep.

Maybe the problem has something to do with the signal being received
from the volume knob.  When I move the knob slightly, the notification
should show a slight change in the volume then go back to sleep.
Instead, the notification seems to think that I am continuing to move
the knob and goes to max or min volume.  It's like there's an endless
loop in the code somewhere related to the signal from the volume knob.

Anything else I should try?  Perhaps a script that actually changes the
volume?  Remember, I can change the volume with the mouse and slider bar
with no problems.

2009-04-28 Thread J Jones
So I ran the debug command and then barely moved the volume knob to
increase the volume.  The notification popped up and immediately ran
away to max volume.  I did CTRL-C to kill the process, but it
immediately restarted and went right back to 100% CPU with the
notification box flashing.  However after about 20 seconds, the
notification went away and notify-osd went back to sleep.

So I tried it again.  Ran the debug command and nudged the volume knob.
Same result except this time, after CTRL-C, the notify-osd process never
went back to sleep.  I had to reboot with the power button.

The log file attached below is from the second run.

Some other observations about the behavior when it is locked up.  It's
not completely locked up and the mouse seems to work, but the keyboard
and the panels don't work.  I don't know if that's important, but there
it is.

2009-04-26 Thread J Jones
A little more about this bug.  I've been playing around with this some
more and the notify-osd process seems to behave just fine until I touch
the volume knob on the side of the laptop.  I can adjust the volume
using the mouse and the volume icon at the top of the screen with no
problems.

Also I can trigger notifications for other reasons (like connect and
disconnect from wifi) and notify-osd wakes for a second or two, shows
the notification, then goes back to sleep.

However, if I even touch the volume knob, the volume notification pops
up and runs away to maximum or minimum volume and begins to consume 100%
CPU.  Killing the process doesn't do any good, because it just restarts.

As long as I don't touch the volume knob, everything is fine.  In fact,
I'm typing this now from the Live CD.  I'm afraid to install 9.04 to
replace 8.04 because I don't want to have a runaway volume notification
every time I touch the volume.

Is there anything else that would be helpful to diagnose this?  lspci
printout or something similar?

Let me know and I'll post whatever.

[Bug 367069] [NEW] notify-osd runs at 100% of CPU locking up X

2009-04-25 Thread J Jones
Public bug reported:

Trying to run 9.04 live CD and every time I adjust the volume with the
knob on the side of my laptop, the notify-osd process goes to 100% of
cpu and stays there making X effectively lock up.  The mouse cursor is
still visible and moves, but nothing else works.  When I switch to a
console, and run top, I see notify-osd at 100%.  If I kill the process,
notify-osd just comes back and resumes using 100% of CPU.

I'm on an Toshiba Satellite laptop.  Model U-305-s7449.

This is very reproducible and happens within seconds of touching the
volume knob (which works fine in 8.04).

I'll play around with this more later.  I'm not exactly a newbie, but
I'm not a programmer either so some hints to diagnose this would be
welcome.
