[Bug 1760876] Re: DKMS driver builds fail with: Cannot use CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION=y, please install libelf-dev, libelf-devel or elfutils-libelf-devel

2019-02-14 Thread Jeff Burns
Hey Brad,

I confirmed the fix on 2018-04-09 (but didn't add a tag).  Is the
current fix the same?  I don't have the same hardware to recreate now.

Thanks
Jeff

I can confirm the last kernel update from Bionic's " -proposed" last week
did not present this issue.

Thanks!
Jeff

[Bug 1726922] Re: gnome-calendar keeps asking for my google password

2017-10-29 Thread Jeff Burns
Here is the workaround for people coming into this bug with Two Factor
Auth set.  You need to generate an application specific password for the
Google acct in "Online Accounts" from this page:
https://security.google.com/settings/security/apppasswords

Google's full documentation on generating application specific passwords
for applications that aren't compatible with MFA:
https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en

I saw this as well, and set an app specific password to get around it,
but it would be nice if I didn't have to use that workaround.  :)

Its looking like it might have been a one time thing.  It did occur
right after an update (but not a kernel update).  I've rebooted twice
since and have had no re-occurrence.  I'm attaching my update history in
case that might shed some light on it.

[Bug 858122] Re: incomplete migration to /run (shutdown script order has been demolished)

2011-10-24 Thread Jeff Burns
It looks like I'm having the Waiting for network configuration issue as well, 
but while an annoyance, I've ignored it until today.  I figured it was related 
to an extra NIC being unconfig'd.   I just config'd LACP and I've still got it, 
so went hunting for a bug.

I checked and I've got the symlinks.  The weird thing is the symlink for
/var/run to /run was created ~2.5 hours ago when I last did an
update/reboot, while the other is from my upgrade to 11.10.  Not sure if
that is significant.   Upgrade path natty -- oneric

ls -l /var/run /var/lock
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2011-10-10 21:13 /var/lock - /run/lock
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2011-10-24 19:48 /var/run - /run

I didn't see this on an Ubuntu Server with 4 NIC's LACP'd going from
Natty to Oneric, nor on my Kubuntu laptop, just on this desktop.  I can
get any other details if needed.

[Bug 418935] Re: gnutls can't negotiate tls connection to webex connect (empathy vs pidgin regression)

2011-04-10 Thread Jeff Burns
Roland,

Do you have the Cisco Defect id to attach to this bug so we can track
progress?  I've been searching for it and have come up empty so far.

Thanks
Jeff

I should've added to my previous post - the workaround for Maverick did work on 
my Thinkpad W510.

[Bug 576352] Re: Ubuntu 10.04 hangs/locks up often

2010-10-09 Thread Jeff Burns
While I was running 10.04, this ceased being a *consistent* issue after
the 256.xx.xx drivers were added to the SWAT repository.   It appeared
to me like the GPU clock throttling started working more consistently.
(http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu).

After upgrading to 10.10 Beta 1, (and keeping the swat repo active), I
continued to enjoy stability *overall*...  I finally found the
workaround for complete stability, which was to just throttle the clock
on the GPU to the minimum using information I found here:
http://linux.aldeby.org/nvidia-powermizer-powersaving.html.  My graphics
performance for work related apps doesn't appear to have been impacted
really.  (and frankly do I really need a 1.2Ghz clock on my Laptop's
GPU???)

I updated /etc/X11/xorg.conf with the following:
Section Device
 IdentifierDefault Device
 Option  Coolbits 1
RegistryDwords PowerMizerEnable=0x1; PerfLevelSrc=0x2223; 
PowerMizerLevel=0x3; PowerMizerDefault=0x3; PowerMizerDefaultAC=0x3 
 Driver  nvidia
EndSection

My teammate running Windows 7 on his W510 had the same but much worse
problem initially.  Using my driver experience on Ubuntu, I had him
upgrade to the 256 beta drivers, which stabilized him for a month.
However, his onboard Nvidia card finally burned out and his systemboard
was replaced last Friday.  From my experience and watching his, it seems
to indicate that this could be a combination hardware/driver defect
rather than a Linux/Ubuntu defect.

[Bug 532633] Re: [Master] Window Control buttons: position/order/alignment

2010-04-03 Thread Jeff Burns
As near as I can tell, I'm probably one of the few (or maybe only one)
on the thread who has commercially/professionally dealt with the
consequences of a development group's rash UI decisions in a product
they support, and the types of users that come after you with pitchforks
and torches afterwards.  Let me tell you, it isn't fun.  None of those
types of users (the pitchfork/torch wielding ones) are on this thread,
not will they likely see this thread.  They won't be going to Google to
see why it's broke, but they are going to give their IT guy an angry
trouncing and be done with it.  It leaves the IT guy in a bad position,
and Ubuntu in a worse one ultimately.  A minor change that hardly
affected me at all, it's had a 100% negative (sometimes violent)
reaction from 20 users I've polled.   Although they softened up when I
said, what if there was something useful replacing it?.  But if
nothing replaces it where is the user's carrot/incentive?  At that point
there is only anger...  Very frustrating for me since it makes me look
bad after having pushed Ubuntu so hard for the last couple of years.
I've been pushing hard on Windows users (who don't want Office 2007 and
shifted to OoO) to go ahead and switch, since most of their normal apps
already are dual platform.

For UI related changes, it generally takes 6 months to a year of study,
focus groups, marketing researchers doing blind studies on users, etc
etc.  Not cheap.  So far I've only seen maybe 3 weeks here of debate,
and still no tangible reason to switch.  We're still missing the carrot.
Unfortunately there are none of us on the thread who are qualified to
give research data back.  Why?  Basically we're all over-qualified for
this.  All of us will skew the results one way or another, not
intentionally but since we know what it's about and for, we will change
the results.  Better to get blind test subjects who have no clue
what's going on, or why they're getting tested, or what the testing is
even about.  It's going to take a marketing research firm, and multiple
test groups across the globe to get some data back.   Not cheap, but it
needs done.   Course, still need to figure out what data is being
collected, and why.   Which means the unknown unobtanium feature on
the right portion of the screen needs completed to a beta level...

[Bug 532633] Re: [Master] Window Control buttons: position/order/alignment

2010-04-03 Thread Jeff Burns
IOGraphica Plot from 9.10 with Gnome3.  :)   Different evening, standard
normal usage, interruptions, surfing, email, document review, etc...

Since Pako (I think it was Pako) brought up a good point for what about
Gnome 3?, I thought what about Gnome 3?.   :)   So I tried it as well
to get a better data point for Mark on the upcoming major change in
Gnome that essentially *obsoletes* this discussion and bug...

With Gnome 3 my usage changed quite a bit.  The minimize, max and close buttons 
weren't used very often.  The only button of those 3 even relevant after Gnome 
3 releases will be the CLOSE button, and I'm not sure about that close button 
either depending on what else occurs before Gnome 3's actual release...This 
data seems to go along with my assertion that whatever is being planned, needs 
to occur on Gnome3 where there is a MAJOR paradigm shift for the desktop UI, 
rather than tacking something onto an existing/tired UI everyone is already 
comfortable with.   For those that haven't tried Gnome3 yet, I highly recommend 
it just for the experience and heads up if nothing else.  It's very intuitive 
for the changes, and while it's not perfect yet, it's in better shape than KDE4 
was on the first couple of releases.  The close button moving to the left 
wouldn't have irked me at all either on Gnome 3, since the upper left of the 
screen is where I was spending a lot of time anyway switching windows.  In fact 
the close button on the upper right in Gnome 3 irked me.  But that's Gnome 3, 
and this change is going into the old/obsolete Gnome2 where upper right is 
still correct.
I found quick instructions here:  
http://digitizor.com/2009/11/10/get-a-first-hand-feel-of-gnome-3-shell-in-ubuntu-karmic-koala/

So Mark, whatever feature you are planning, I think you would be well
advised to tie it instead to Gnome 3 where this button fiasco doesn't
really exist, and keep the pitchfork wielding bloggers off of you.  Is
it too late to make Gnome3 the default for Lucid?  ;)

2010-04-03 Thread Jeff Burns
@scholli

Open my mind?  With all due respect, I'm very open, but *likely* more
experienced on this type of thing.  I'm running Ubuntu and Kubuntu and
pushing Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu and I'm an MCSE!  My work is now Windows,
Mac and Ubuntu, but mostly Windows.   AFAIK I'm the only one in the
company on 10.04 so far (although with 60,000 plus employees, maybe
not), but I've been polling with what I've got locally in and out of
work.  Folks are used to buttons on the right, and just don't want them
to change right now, at least not without more changes.  This changes
the default on users that don't know how to even change it back or how
easy it is to change back.

Keep in mind I've got experience with stuff like this.  10 years ago I'd
have been on your side of it and wondering why all the resistance to
change.  But after getting my head bashed about, I'm now a little more
cautious on *how* to deploy UI improvements.   I had a more minor UI
change than this that ended up causing pitchforks and torches to get
unleashed on me.  You need to open your mind that what is minor to you
and me can be a catastrophic defect for others.  Is it really
catastrophic?  No, but in their mind it is, and that's what counts.   UI
changes aren't always about logic and reason.   In fact that can make it
worse on occasion...   People get warm and fuzzy familiar feeling for
their desktops.  That emotion is what clouds this.   My wife (former
secretary who is from the prime target market for UI discussions like
this because they are so irritable on UI changes) just explained to me
that the irrationality is purely based on expectations.  If the
expectation is one thing, and the actual result is another, that's where
the anger and sometimes blind rage comes from.  Modify an existing
interface with no visible reason for a change?  She gets mad, quickly.
Totally change the whole thing (so long as the changes make sense and
are of benefit), and she expects to have to learn something new, and her
expectations are properly set.

I ran the change by my wife with Gnome2, and she hated it.  I got the
standard DON'T MOVE MY BUTTONS! response...   Ran it by her with
Gnome3, and she liked actually it, but Gnome3 is a paradigm shift on the
desktop UI that largely obsoletes minimize and maximize.  Gnome 2 is
just a BAD choice for this.  It's now a teetering old UI that needs
replaced, not mildly and inexplicably modified...As I said before,
it's like a fresh coat of paint on a house scheduled for demolition the
following week.

Cheers
Jeff

@ scholli
re:  (Data and Gnome3)

Hmmm, I think we just agreed. :)  Woohoo.   Gnome3 is a big carrot of
motivation to enable the moving the buttons to the left and not invoke
the pitchforks.  In fact I would imagine some pitchforks would get
invoked if the buttons didn't shift with Gnome 3 due to it being so
left heavy.  Like I said, my wife didn't object with Gnome3 and
buttons on the left, but was quite angry with Gnome2 and the same
change.  She's my average test user, in fact about as average as it
gets.

I'm not totally sure how others use their mouse, but keep in mind I rest
my mouse a lot off center to the right, or at the bottom of the screen
out of the way of the text I'm reading, or FAR right with the scroll
bar.  (guess the scroll bar needs to move?)  That really doesn't change
too much in Gnome3, and I don't necessarily care that much about how
efficient my mousing is.  :)   But with Gnome 3 you're always headed up
to the left corner to switch windows anyway, and having the close button
up there simplifies the thought process a bit, without thinking about it
changing anything.  It just makes sense.  Hence my preference for left
buttons on Gnome 3.

Cheers
Jeff

2010-03-27 Thread Jeff Burns
Pako, Pako, Pako...

My friend, you misinterpret me.  But trust me, I understand what you are
saying.  10 years ago I'd be with you on this debate/argument because I
didn't have experiences that I do now supporting UI related stuff.
Change is good right? Well maybe not sometimes...   So when I say this
is too small a change, it's because the change is incomplete, and just
isn't worth expending Mark's precious political capital over at least
until the feature is COMPLETE.  There's a time to fight, and a time to
strategically withdraw.  This is the latter.   Later it can be unveiled
again when we've got a carrot, but until then I NEED that  carrot to
explain this change to my users that I support.   Incomplete UI changes
just don't work, you either have to go whole hog so something has
demonstrably happened (again the carrot), or do nothing at all.   I'm
not against the UI changing.  Gnome 3 so far looks really cool, and I've
been an early adopter/tester of KDE4 in Kubuntu (and everyone who did
knows how painful that was), and filing several defects along the way
doing my part to help get it to something reasonably stable today, and I
like KDE 4 better than Gnome as a personal preference.   I'll probably
start testing Gnome3 when I get a chance.  I like most of the advanced
interface in the new KDE, and probably will like Gnome3 as well.  I
don't like this small button change, but I don't hate it either.  It's
a meh for me *personally*.   But don't get my professional and
personal preferences confused.  Because they are different by necessity,
as are a lot of IT guys out there who have to support one thing for the
common good, and prefer something else on their own desktops.  The
reason why my professional and personal opinion differs is below.

I used to be IT, and now I'm in a Dev/Sustaining role for the last 10
years roughly.  I've supported UI's now for close to 10 years and will
give you a quick simplified example from my past that was on something
quite similar.  I've been on the front lines when a usability change was
made on a product for one customer (with a proper defect for the change)
that made reasonable sense and was logical, and we massively honked off
10 other major customers (or more).   Their admin/secretaries use this
tech stuff every day heavily (and have the ears of executives) and get
quite cranky when things move since they run on auto-pilot on nearly
everything from computers to phones.  I mean absolutely enraged because
two silly buttons moved and it interrupted their work processes.  Many
of my counterparts (including me) laughed at this controversy, because
the buttons that moved were CLEARLY marked.  I mean moving silly buttons
around generated that much rage?  Jeeesh.  But after a second trip
around and near death threats because people's cheese got moved I've
learned to respect that average user, and secretaries in particular,
regardless of my own sentiments.   Much of the time you can swap out the
ENTIRE OS, or their desktop phone and they'll get over it because it is
something totally new and it's expected to relearn, (provided what goes
in makes sense to them for how to navigate the product, and you still
get grumbles).  Move something small on an existing application or on
the existing phone?  Forget it, unless you get their buy in.  They go
ballistic.   Keep them happy, the others in an organization fall in line
normally, including their boss.  :)   If the boss's admin ain't happy,
nobody's happy.  This is where we are at with Ubuntu now.  It's not
longer the cool hobbyist OS at home, but it's actually moving into the
more mature corporate space where we can't be quite as cavalier as
before.   That uptake has been accelerated largely thanks to the MS
Vista debacle.  Personally and professionally, I now have a bit of skin
in how Ubuntu turns out.

My wife was a secretary/admin for years, and has that type of mindset.
She's brilliant for running UI related stuff by on nearly anything,
particularly since she's part of one of the bigger target audiences
regarding UI features.  I keep telling her she needs to be a tester
since she understands this UI preference stuff better than I, at least
for what pisses people off.   I had issues converting her to Ubuntu, but
not too many overall.  Some stuff was different, but overall it was
close enough and logical enough that it didn't honk her off.   (getting
her to OpenOffice was a little interesting, until I showed her MS Office
2007, and no complaints since...).   I did unveil this to her yesterday
evening, without letting my preferences be known.  It didn't go well...
She was much angrier than anticipated.  I truly didn't expect more than
an eye roll really, because it's not that big a change right?Instead
I got expletives, and why the hell are they moving my buttons??!?!?!,
can't they leave anything along!?!?!?  Generally whatever her reaction
is, has been pretty dead on for the average secretary and admin who have
exec's ears.

How about that explanation about the reasons for the button order change
Well, the time is running and there is still no particular reason and 
argument, why should be the right buttons retained.

I have yet to hear a compelling reason why to move the buttons to the
left, other than Mac does it, and There is some cool (currently)
vapourware coming out for 10.10.   I'm dealing with a cranky 55 year
old wife, 30 year old daughter, 80 year old father-in-law, and 80 year
old father as it is for support.   All of them go into who moved my
cheese mode when flipping UI items around.  Small UI changes that I
don't even notice, and they go into some sort of fit on it.   Then if
it's for no discernible reason like this is, then I can't really explain
it, other than there it is and I get grumbles back from them.   If there
is a cool feature that requires moving buttons around, then by all means
bring it out, and maybe it'll be worth retraining for.  At least then
I've got a legitimate and visible example to explain this change in
defaults.  A carrot of enticement as it were.   Although with both my
father-in-law and father, I CAN'T allow their buttons to move
regardless...   They're easily confused and baffled by these electronic
typewriters as they call them.  Me personally, I CAN use it, but I
find it just as counterproductive as the Mac interface so I switched it
back.   If I liked Mac, I'd have a Mac and I'd be the worlds biggest
snob about it and frown on free OS Mac wannabes, and not likely to
move to Ubuntu even with an interface change.   Ubuntu's big selling
point is getting people off Windows almost without them noticing too
much thanks to the current Gnome UI, Firefox, and OpenOffice's familiar
interface coming from Office 2003.

With that said I think what is being (almost mistakenly) applied to both
sides of the argument though is logic.  For UI issues like this, much of
the time logic has no place.  I've dealt with these before at work with
around a million users affected.  Move around something on the screen,
and let the anger begin.If something is to be moved around, it has
to be clearly understood beforehand, evaluated by a larger focus group
and not done on what seems to be a whim, and that looks cool.   if
people understand it, and the need to move things around, they go with
it and accept it without getting so cranky as they are getting here.
Personally I see plenty of room on the left side of the titlebar for
features.  Just right justify the text and VOILA!   OK, I'm trying to
apply logic to it as well...  The emotional element of peoples
attachments to UI appearances has to be taken into account, in spite of
it largely being an intangible for datapoints.

Mark - I'll address this bit directly to you, and understand I applaud
everything thing you are doing here.  You're on my most admired list.
Understand I'm not against changing the UI.   Some major UI changes are
called for as this isn't the 1980's anymore and we're still not that far
away from Xerox's original interface.Big UI changes are called for.
Paradigm shifts even.  Small changes where buttons are just moved
without a good, easily understood, tangible reason (ala the feature
carrot)?  It just ticks people off and makes everyone a little
irrational...  Once that irrationality starts, it picks up steam as is
demonstrated in this thread...  good luck stopping it.

My reasons for not changing this little bit of UI?:
1) Standards:  Most UI's are Min, Max, Close on the right.  Unveiling this 
*single* change right now doesn't seem like a good idea without something to 
back it up.
2) Ease of Use/productivity:  Most of us I think are bouncing between Windows, 
Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Redhat, SuSE and others.  When using VM's as well on the box - 
Windows (or other OS) in that VM window starts getting confusing when rapidly 
bouncing between them.   Moving back and forth now takes some effort that it 
didn't take before, even with no mistakes.
3) Judging from comments, the folks that like the buttons on the left seem to 
be power users who'll change them on their own, and the ones who like them on 
the right range from computer illiterate to power users.  (possible 
generalisation on my part there, but Ubuntu's raison d'etre I thought was to be 
ultimately usable for all)
4) The new feature that the button move belongs to isn't cooked or released 
yet.  Wait for new feature to integrate and test usability with said feature 
before rolling out theoretical interface advantage tied to that feature.   It 
might not work as expected, causing all this churn for nothing.  Actually I've 
noticed no feature ever goes as anticipated in the early design prototype 
stages.  Patience isn't a bad thing here.
5) Gnome 3 seems to be casting a shadow over where/if those buttons will be 
anyway.  WAIT for Gnome to finish their 3.0 UI improvements and tack on there 
where there is a longer runway.   

[Bug 532633] Re: [Master] Window Control buttons: position/order/alignment

2010-03-23 Thread Jeff Burns
GUI changes AFTER a product has released are always controversial.
You'll get less complaints by building a whole new Window Manager than
by changing a small usability item.  Whatever gets released is pretty
much what you're stuck with, unless you can keep making minor usability
changes/tweak over a span of years so as not to rock the boat too much.
(I've had experience with other UI projects at work, and a couple of
buttons getting moved around sometimes result in nothing short of death
threats  People get REAL cranky about the interface of things after
they've started using it.)

Most of us are used to the current window layout, and much of us have
used it since the 80's.   That's been a really big selling point of
Ubuntu and OpenOffice is the lack of retraining for end users.  Folks
who were used to WindowsXP and Office 2003 could come over to Ubuntu and
be productive nearly immediately.  I tell folks that all the time, and
they generally find it to be true, particularly the ones who were
avoiding Vista and didn't want a Mac.  The buttons on the right make
sense.  I know there is supposed to be something to take advantage of
that space, but why can't it use all that dead space on the left
instead?

I think to my wife and daughter, and both sets of our parents   They
all go NUTS when there is any UI changes at all and get lost very
quickly when someone moves their cheese as it were.I admit the
button placement disoriented me for a while, but like a trooper I went
on for a week and until I could make a informed choice.  One issue for
me is that I go back and forth between MANY systems of varying OS's.
They all have the buttons on the right, with the oddball exceptions of
Lucid and Mac.  As a result that does hit the productivity a bit, and I
found I actually prefer the buttons where they are.  Sometimes on a
change like that I would find that it was more convenient But not
this time.  Change for change sake isn't good, ask MS about Vista...

However, this mini-debacle has raised a good point about the UI config,
and I DO think it would be cool if users had an EASY way to make
decisions for themselves on this.  I mean that's one of the brilliant
parts of Linux and OpenSource projects is the diversity of ideas.   Let
the Mac guys (and others who like it) have change to buttons on the
left, while the rest of us keep our buttons on the right by default.

[Bug 272247] Re: System freezes during boot, unless I hold a key down

2009-02-18 Thread Jeff Burns
Further report confirming that as of Jaunty Alpha 3 (upgraded from Alpha
2 directly rather than from the liveCD) things are good for this bug on
my HP/Compaq F763NR laptop (with MCP67 rev a2 chipset).  Currently
running Alpha4 and it's still good, and the Alpha4 CD boots OK.   I'm
now at kernel 2.6.28-7, although as I write this, it's updating to
2.6.28-8... AND  2.6.28-8 just booted ok as well.  I'm pretty close to
upgrading my primary work partition from Intrepid to Jaunty primarily to
get rid of this annoyance.  If nothing else, it's a real headache when
explaining to doubtful buddies how Ubuntu Linux is absolutely ready for
General Purpose office usage, and then I had to hold a key down during
boot...   Generates serious eyerolls from them and some embarrassment
for me...  Perception is everything unfortunately, even if this is minor
bug it generates an immediate negative impression for newbs before the
desktop has even come up, and that colours the whole out of box
experience.  I'm so glad to see it fixed for my hardware combination!

I've had good luck with kernels:
2.6.28-6
2.6.28-7
2.6.28-8

2009-01-12 Thread Jeff Burns
** Description changed:

  Once the Ubuntu splash screen loads with the progress bar that moves back and 
forth, it freezes. Holding down any key unfreezes the system, and it continues 
  loading normally, until I release the key, at which point it freezes again. 
Holding a key down again unfreezes the system again.
  
  Pressing Alt+F1 to show the output also freezes, so I know it isn't just
  the splash screen freezing, but the entire system.
  
  Once X loads, it works perfectly fine though, and I don't have to keep
  holding a key down.
  
  Update : This bug happens with 2.6.26 and 2.6.27 kernels with a computer
  that has Nvidia MCP67 motherboard. A known workaround that sometimes
  works is to add nolapic to GRUB boot kernel options. acpi=noirq is also
  known to work.
