[Bug 1729893] [NEW] lspci and lshw causing total system freeze

2017-11-03 Thread Jack Dale
Public bug reported:

Hi, not sure if this is the best place to file this bug report and I
couldn't find any other similar.

System: Dell XPS 15 laptop late 2017, 32GB ram, 1TB SSD, 7th Gen i7
quad-core 8-thread, etc

OS: Fresh install Ubuntu 17.10; dual boot with windows 10 pro on AHCI

Bug:  Total system freeze with certain commands
Always reproduced with lspci | grep network (ie I typed it with n instead of N)
also always reproduced with any other use of lspci | grep 
Often reproduced with lspci | grep Network (correctly spelled)
and occasionally reproduced with just lspci on its own.
when it doesn't freeze the system, it takes it about 2 or 3 seconds to respond 
(whereas on my old ASUS 8GB ram, dual core quad thread i5 3rd gen it works 
instantly; same on my ubuntu server running on a crappy headless HP pavillion 
tower)

Also happens when using lshw, esp with lshw -C .

It does not matter how long the system has been running.

At the same time, it will let me run crunch together with aircrack-ng
when pen testing my home lab without any problems even though all 8
threads are maxed out to 100% and I can still use the system as if
nothing else is happening.  Also, running lspci and lshw on a virtualbox
install of Kali 2017.2 will work instantly as expected without any
problems.

Any suggestions or request of more info would be welcome.

Thanks

A simple, yet powerful, function that saves me a fair bit of time.  Now
missing in 12.04 :-(

Changing the settings in CCSM does not change the behaviour of key-
binding, mouse-binding or hot-corner-binding.

[Bug 876999] Re: compiz doesn't show any windows with VirtualBox guest additions

2011-10-22 Thread Jack Dale
I think the key is that this seems to be related to a problem in how
VirtualBox 4.1.4 works on a Mac to host a Unity guest.  This is not a
problem in my normal installation of Ubuntu.  I don't know why it only
appears to be affecting the Mac version of VirtualBox.  However, I
suspect that the nautilus crew would say that the problem lies in how
VirtualBox on the Mac handles their program.  The onus would therefore
be on VirtualBox to fix whatever problem there might be.

In my limited experience, it seems that VirtualBox has been having
problems with Ubuntu Unity since late in 11.04 on the Mac.

[Bug 876999] Re: compiz doesn't show any windows with VirtualBox guest additions

2011-10-18 Thread Jack Dale
Sorry to post yet again, but after further testing, it seems that,
although the above works OK, there are still some other bugs that are
likely to be part of the same problem:

1. The launcher will not always (almost never) reveal itself when there is a 
maximized window
2. The dashboard will sometimes reveal itself underneath an open window
3. The dashboard seems to always reveal itself underneath a maximized window
4. Same for fn-alt-F2
5. Because we killed nautilus, the desktop no longer works as a folder

Still, that's at least something to work on.

Also, in case anyone smart finds this useful: the Workspace Switcher
(WS) trick has to be done after almost every change to the window (as if
it does not refresh). Before finding that killall nautilus helped, i
tried doing an update.  The interesting thing is that in the WS view,
the window updated itself without any visible problem (ie the progress
bar and the details worked as normal), but when back to the window, it
would stay static.

[Bug 876999] Re: compiz doesn't show any windows with VirtualBox guest additions

2011-10-18 Thread Jack Dale
OK as a temporary workaround:
Step 1: Login to Unity
Step 2: type Alt-F2 (or fn-alt-F2 on a Mac)
Step 3: type "killall nautilus" (without the ") and press enter (you will now 
be able to see windows, but don't open any nautilus windows)
Step 4: install pcmanfm (or other file manager either from terminal: "sudo 
apt-get install pcmanfm" or from Software Centre)
Step 5: open a window with the new file manager and add it to the unity launcher
Step 6: remove the nautilus home folder from the launcher

When you reboot and log in again, you would have to follow steps 2
again, so to prevent that there should be a way to automate the killall
nautilus command.  However, I tried to just put it in the start-up
applications and this killed the gnome session.

[Bug 876999] Re: compiz doesn't show any windows with VirtualBox guest additions

2011-10-18 Thread Jack Dale
More info (I typed too soon before)

I can now confirm that typing "killall nautilus" will fix all
application windows until a nautilus instance is loaded (eg opening the
home folder).  This will cause all other windows to become invisible
again.  However, retyping killall nautilus will fix again.

Obviously this is only a debugging workaround as the user cannot still
use nautilus.  It seems, therefore, that this is related to Compiz's
interactions with Nautilus under Unity (3D).

2011-10-18 Thread Jack Dale
Additional info:

opening the terminal is annoying because even after using the Workspace
Switcher, it is still invisible.

Fro some reason, typing "killall nautilus" will make the terminal look
and work normally (at least until you close it).  Unfortunately this
does not fix anything else.

[Bug 876999] Re: compiz doesn't show any windows with VirtualBox guest additions

2011-10-18 Thread Jack Dale
Also affects me in the same way.  Try this for a temporary workaround:

Log in to Ubuntu (3D) as normal. Open a window. Window is invisible.
Click on Workspace Switcher on the dock. The windows become visible again. 
Click on the workspace to use the window. (note that the title bar is still 
invisible if not maximised. If maximised, there will still be some minor 
problems. Using workspace switcher will fix most of these.

Now this is not a long-term workable solution, but it may help others
work in the environment in question and be able to come up with a
solution or a better workaround.

Addition:
The above was done about 10 hours ago this morning.  Reproduced 3 times over 
the course of an hour, restarting the computer between each trial.  All other 
network connections and Internet were working correctly.

Now, UbuntuOne Music Store works correctly without any problems with
DansGuardian denying access.

I'm not sure what to make of it.

Suggestions:
- Ignore bug report for now
- Will wait and see and continue to test

Confirm in Karmic.  For me it started when I opened a KDE app in GNOME. (I

not work for me.
Carlos Scheidegger's work-around (#16) works for me.  Thanks.

(BTW - also was having problems with the screen resolution changing at
seemingly random times after installing kubuntu - so far it has been
stable after setting the screen resolution with the KDE System Settings
