[Bug 771448] Re: desktop wall edge flipping broken

2011-08-08 Thread Jack Lecou
Nevermind about event windows - I hadn't realized 'desktop wall' depends
on 'mouse position polling'.

It seems to be a problem with the latter then - perhaps it's not sending
position events reliably?

I just tried reducing the polling interval, with no effect. But then I
tried disabling polling entirely - temporarily disabling wall - and then
re-enabling both. Success!  Flipping is working fine again.  For now,
anyway.

[Bug 771448] Re: desktop wall edge flipping broken

2011-08-08 Thread Jack Lecou
Well, pointer edge flipping was working flawlessly for a while with the
mouse button binding workaround, but now edge flipping is back to only
working infrequently or erratically at best. A recent update seems to
have hosed it.

I have two laptops suffering the problem now.

More updates/review: Toggling the edge flipping or restarting compiz no
longer seem to result in a "honeymoon" period of a few viewport switches
as they once seemed to. It's erratic all the way. Dragging windows also
no longer helps. Drags will be block similar to cursor moves. The
behavior also seems slightly different on the two laptops - one, the
x300, is running unity. Edge flipping actually works fine - until compiz
crashes - then, when compiz is restarted from the console, edge flipping
becomes unreliable. On the x201, in normal mode, it seems to be erratic
from the beginning.

All edge directions are susceptible to failure, but it seems to have
particular difficulty with 'top'/'up'.

Perhaps the last indicates it is something to do with panels or other
windows 'hiding' compiz' event windows? OId compiz seemed to have this
down pat, but I remember keeping event windows in the right place was a
nightmare on a window manager whose source code I was playing around
with years ago. I do have a top panel - unity or regular - in both
setups. I also feel like the unity one may have extra difficulty with
'up' AND 'left', which would fit. Or when other windows overlap the edge
of the screen. (However, it is all so erratic it is hard to tell for
sure.)

Altogether a major (and frustrating) regression in any case. Please let
me know if there's anything I can do ot help debug or test.

[Bug 771448] Re: desktop wall edge flipping broken

2011-06-01 Thread Jack Lecou
Piling on.

I've been living with this since switching over to alpha Natty
repositories several months ago. Figured it was just screwed up
configuration, or would sort itself out , but recently did a clean
upgrade on a second computer and am seeing exactly the same issue.

Edge flipping will work a few times (anywhere from once to a few dozen),
and then stop. Extremely aggravating, since it's so random. As observed
by the others, grabbing a title bar and moving a window around a little
(usually) seems to reset things -  temporarily. So does unchecking and
rechecking the option in compizconfig, or disabling and reenabling wall.
(Occasionally, it seems to develop a pattern, where particular sides are
more problematic than others: for example, after "resetting" as above,
doing nothing but flipping left and right will seem to work fine for
some time, but not up and down - and trying to will break left/right as
well.  This may be my imagination though. It's hardly consistent.)

Derek's workaround seems to work (thanks Derek, big relief!).

[Bug 434520] Re: Pulseaudio refuses to use internal microphone input (Lenovo X300)

2010-10-20 Thread Jack Lecou
I'm on the road with a different computer so can't test at the moment,
but will the first chance I get.

I think my reasoning while flailing about to come up with the workaround
was the hope that maybe pulseaudio might not be quite as "smart" or
vigilant about (mis)managing the second card instance. In other words,
the second instance might work like all instances did in Jaunty*, where
alsamixer could be used to manually switch to the correct device right
under pulseaudio's nose, and thus escape whatever bad or misinterpreted
metadata pulseaudio is using to choose the wrong mic.

It does seem to sort of work that way in practice, but I have no idea
whether that's what is actually happening, or why.


* Note that the same bug was also present back in Jaunty -- the workaround had 
fewer steps, but pulseaudio still activated the wrong mic initially.

2010-01-30 Thread Jack Lecou
Ok, I've at least found a workaround, but the bug is still present:

Manually loading an alsa source in /etc/pulse/default.pa works ("load-
module module-alsa-source device=hw:0,0").

This adds an "Internal Audio" input device, in additon to the auto-
loaded (udev?) "Internal Audio Analog Stereo".

After configuring alsa levels with alsamixer, the manually loaded
"Internal Audio" device works for recording. The auto-loaded "Internal
Analog Stereo" device still behaves incorrectly (no sound is produced,
and selecting it misconfigures the alsa levels; they have to be
readjusted before the manual device works again).

2010-01-30 Thread Jack Lecou
I did just discover that I can make gnome-sound-recorder, and probably
other gstreamer apps, work by bypassing pulseaudio entirely for input.
Just use gstreamer-properties to select Alsa as the input plugin (I also
have to select my specific device "AD198x Analog", as default doesn't
work).

This isn't an entirely satisfactory solution, however. Pulseaudio input
is still crippled, and Skype, for example, appears to rely on pulseaudio
only nowadays.

Larry's suggestion doesn't work for me. Or rather, it might, but I can't
find the "volume icon in the top panel" he refers to. (Perhaps it's a
non-default applet that I don't have installed?)

I only have the standard panel volume control, which has a volume slider
on left click, and a menu with "mute" and "sound preferences" on right
click. "Sound preferences" brings up the standard sound preferences
control panel, which is unhelpful.

Also, this bug is still present, exactly as originally described, in
Lucid Alpha 2.

[Bug 462646] [NEW] Associate a proxy with a network connection

2009-10-28 Thread Jack Lecou
Public bug reported:

Wishlist:

There should be a way to associate a proxy configuration with a
particular wireless network.

In my case, I use an iphone as an internet proxy over an ad hoc network.
It's a relatively minor annoyance, but currently after setting up the
network, I have to manually change the proxy configuration (and then
sometimes I forget to change it back). I'd like to tell network manager
which  proxy configuration profile to use, and have it automatically set
that whenever I'm using the network and unset it when done.

I'm sure there are many other situations where people would want proxy
configurations tied to particular network configurations.

[Bug 462625] [NEW] fix handling of previously created ad-hoc networks

2009-10-28 Thread Jack Lecou
Public bug reported:

Use case:

I use a proxy server running on an iphone to get mobile internet. This
requires creating an ad-hoc network on my laptop, then joining the
iphone to it. I'd like to easily connect/recreate this network whenever
no other known networks are available.

The problem:

Once created, if I leave the new ad hoc network as "connect
automatically", network manager sometimes uses it even when [preferred]
regular networks are in range.

If I turn off "connect automatically", there doesn't appear to be a way
to easily recreate the network: it doesn't seem to reliably show up in
the menu of available networks, and although the connection is
selectable under the dropdown in the "Create New Wireless Network"
dialog, if anything other then "New..." is selected there, the "Create"
button remains inactive.

How it should work:

Previously created ad-hoc networks should always be available in the
connection menu, either included with the scan results, or at the bottom
of the menu (maybe replace the "Create New Wireless Network..." item
with a "Create a Network >"  submenu containing previously configured
networks along with a "new..." item.)

Alternatively (or additionally) there ought to be a way to prioritize
the list of known/previously-used networks, so that network manager
would never attempt to use the "iphone" network unless NO other [known]
networks were available.

[Bug 434520] [NEW] Pulseaudio refuses to use internal microphone input (Lenovo X300)

2009-09-22 Thread Jack Lecou
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pulseaudio

Pulseaudio seems to have decided that the ALSA "Mic" capture device on
my machine is the only one it will use. "Internal Mic" is the correct
one (at least when no external mic is plugged in).

If I use alsamixer to switch to the correct capture device, the
pulseaudio volume controls instantly marks its input device as "muted"
(and no sound is captured with, e.g., gnome sound recorder). Un-muting
within the pulseaudio volume control again switches the alsa mixer back
to the incorrect "Mic" device (which captures only noise). There doesn't
seem to be any way to tell pulseaudio which capture channel to use.
Pulseaudio level meter show the same thing - noise when the incorrect
"Mic" device is active, but completely muted if alsamixer is used to
change to the right device.

Everything works fine if I boot a jaunty live disk - the alsa
configuration and device detection seems exactly the same, but alsamixer
can be used to switch active devices underneath pulseaudio. Sound
recorder and pulseaudio level meters show noise on the "Mic" device, but
correct capture when the "Internal Mic" is active. (And muting with the
pulseaudio only deselects the "Capture" level control in alsamixer, it
does not activate "Mic" and deactivate "Internal Mic".)

This may be a duplicate of Bug #414215, but it didn't seem quite the
same to me.

2008-10-22 Thread Jack Lecou
I'm also experiencing this problem: scroll emulation set with xinput
works initially, but stops working after a suspend/resume.  Same
versions as above.

I'll add that it also stops working after a mere VT switch (which may be
the real cause, since suspend/resume seems to do a VT switch
implicitly).

Trying to turn it back on with xinput seems to partly work:  button 2
presses stop being emitted and the cursor freezes while button 2 is
down, but no button 4/5 events are emitted. (And, occasionally, re-
running xinput WILL work after suspend/resume.)

[Bug 82518] Merge upstream unix2_chkpwd

2007-02-19 Thread Jack Lecou
I have the same problem with libpam-unix2 1.25-1.1 and gnome-screensaver
2.17.7-0ubuntu2.

The problem is exactly as described in Debian #295526 above: gnome-
screensaver drops any privileges it has by the time it calls into PAM,
but pam_unix2 needs to read the hash from the shadow file.

The regular pam_unix module calls unix_chkpwd when it discovers this
situation. The same solution should work with pam_unix2. If the security
implications of this approach are acceptable in pam_unix, they should be
here as well.
