[Bug 1820866] Re: File dialog extremely slow scanning network mounts

2021-01-14 Thread John Bester
Ubuntu 20.04 does not have this problem any more. I did a few tests
(even shutting down the server for which I had a share bookmarked). The
various different scenarios I tested all behaved as I would expect.

[Bug 1828273] Re: Framebuffer setting in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT has no effect

2019-05-08 Thread John Bester
Yet another comment I found said that the following would work, but it did not:
systemctl set-default -f multi-user.target

Take into account that this is Ubuntu Server 18.04. Server operating
system should not rely on graphics cards, so it should be possible to
boot Ubuntu Server without a framebuffer.

Is there a systemd service which I can blacklist to avoid the
framebuffer being created?

2019-05-08 Thread John Bester
Found another page stating that vga=0 should be in
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT - this does not work either.

Another page states that you should enable GRUB_TERMINAL=console, this
does not work.

Another page says you should add "blacklist vga16fb" in /etc/modprobe.d
/blacklist-framebuffer.conf, this does not work

Is there any way I can destroy /dev/fb0 or onload efifb after Linux has
booted?

[Bug 1828273] [NEW] Framebuffer setting in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT has no effect

2019-05-08 Thread John Bester
Public bug reported:

I have an Ubuntu Server 18.04 installation with KVM and a guest OS to
which a AMD video card needs to be passed through. It worked great for
about 9 months and after a recent Ubuntu upgrade, efifb grabs the video
card irrespective of the linux command line. The commnand line that
worked before is:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="amd_iommu=on iommu=pt pci_stubs=1106:3483
vga=normal nofb nomodeset video=efifb:off"

Currently, this is the command line (changes I made based on searching the web 
for hours):
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet amd_iommu=on iommu=pt earlymodules=vfio-pci 
pci_stubs=1106:3483 vga=normal nofb nomodeset video=vesafb:off,efifb:off 
gfxpayload=text"

The current active kernel options (proc/cmdline)

BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-48-generic
root=UUID=a83137ad-9598-4dc2-aca9-7ab19d17d3c0 ro quiet amd_iommu=on
iommu=pt earlymodules=vfio-pci pci_stubs=1106:3483 vga=normal nofb
nomodeset video=vesafb:on,efifb:off gfxpayload=text

This is verified by syslog:

[0.00] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-48-generic
root=UUID=a83137ad-9598-4dc2-aca9-7ab19d17d3c0 ro quiet amd_iommu=on
iommu=pt earlymodules=vfio-pci pci_stubs=1106:3483 vga=normal nofb
nomodeset video=vesafb:on,efifb:off gfxpayload=text

According to one of the web sites I found, any (or all) of the following
options should disable the frame buffer:

vga=normal nofb nomodeset video=vesafb:on,efifb:off

Yet, a framebuffer is still created

crw-rw 1 root video 29, 0 May  8 18:26 /dev/fb0

Memory locked by efifb (grep -B 5 -A 5 "26[:]00" /proc/iomem)

  e000-e01e : efifb

Yet, vfio driver is successfully loaded for this device: (ls
/sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/)

/sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/:26:00.0
/sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/:26:00.1

Any help on how efifb can be blocked from loading will be greatly
appreciated.

[Bug 1827493] [NEW] Radeon RX560 driver does not install on KVM guest

2019-05-03 Thread John Bester
Public bug reported:

System information:
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (server edition) with kernel 4.15.0-47-generic x86_64

Software:
qemu-kvm:
  Installed: 1:2.11+dfsg-1ubuntu7.12

Hardware:
Motherboard: X370 Killer SLI
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1800X

PCI device:
26:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] 
Baffin [Radeon RX 460/560D / Pro 450/455/460/555/560] (rev e5)
26:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Device aae0

This server has a Windows 10 pro guest OS which has two PCI devices passed
to it. This pass-through has worked fine for just over nine months after
a problem (launchpad bug 1781891) experienced when upgrading from Ubuntu 17.10.
Fortunately with the help of people responding the the bug report, the
problem was resolved.

Unfortunately after some upgrades (Windows guest upgrades, upgrade to RDP
server on Windows guest as well as apt upgrades on the host OS), the GPU
of the passed-through AMD RX560 was not used by the CAD system (BricsCAD
and BricsCAD shape) any more. The GPU was still listed on the task manager
under the Performance tab. In order to fix the problem, I uninstalled the
Radeon driver, downloaded the latest version and tried to install it. The
installation did not complete after several attempts, each time hanging the
Windows guest OS to the point where I had to reset the guest. I also tried
to re-install the older version (of which I kept the installer). Also note
that I had to use the cleanup application shipped with the AMD Radeon driver
and reboot before attempting a fresh install. During some of the attempts,
I had to remove the PCI devices from the guest in order to get Windows booting
again - at which time I have the opportunity to clean up the AMD drivers
before rebooting with PCI devices passed through again.

At this time I need instructions to get the proper logging for someone to
help me figure out where the problem is. So please advise on how to get
any relevant information. From a previous bug report, I was able to determine
a memory clash between host and client by issuing the following command:

grep -B 5 -A 5 "26[:]" /proc/iomem

However, at this point I am not getting any results. This may be because I
need to do this just after attempting a driver install. Please advise if this
is the case.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Bug 1820866] [NEW] File dialog extremely slow

2019-03-19 Thread John Bester
Public bug reported:

>From any application where you have a "save as" or "open" option, the
dialog displays, but it takes forever. I have a i5 with 16GB RAM and 2
SSD's, so the machine is not slow. However, if I use gedit and click
open / Other documents it takes 6 to 7 seconds before the file dialog is
properly displayed. This does not even get better with reuse. I opened
gedit just now and the first time it took 7 seconds. Then I pressed
Cancel and repeated the process - it still took more than 6 seconds
before the dialog was properly displayed. Often I would only see "Other
locations" and then default places (Home, Documents etc) and bookmarks
(I have about 8 bookmarks of which 2 are network shares) are displayed.
These items are added one by one - maybe one every half second. Often it
takes a few seconds before the first location other than "Other
Locations" is displayed. Even the file panel is not immediate at first
and you can see how lines are added one by one. Take into account that
my home folder is on an SSD, so populating a file list should be
lightning fast. I have looked at the CPU activity, but it does not go
over about 10% during display of open and close dialogs.

Just be aware that this is not specific to gedit - all applications
using gnome file dialog has the same problem.

Please see the attached screen recording.

[Bug 1798251] Re: Cannot boot from USB pen drive

2018-10-17 Thread John Bester
I have been able to successfully create a USB drive that boots Ubuntu 18
ISO images. The web site that I used for information is
https://www.splitbrain.org/blog/2012-12/22-the_ultimate_usb_stick_setup
.

I had to make a few changes to grub.cfg. I will attach a zip file
containing the contents of the usb drive with empty files in stead of
complete iso files. I have not tested the drive with various hardware
configurations or BIOS settings, but it should have enough information
to be able to build an application to easily create a tool to build the
USB drive.

The partition is FAT32 and contains an (msftdata) flag - which might be
left over from using Rufus on Windows (partion name is "Microsoft Basic
Data"). However, I think performing a grub install should work as well.

[Bug 1798251] Re: Cannot boot from USB pen drive

2018-10-17 Thread John Bester
I just tried booting the USB drive of ubuntu-18.04-desktop-amd64.iso on
a different workstation. The drive was picked up for the boot menu and
the grub boot menu was displayed. I selected "Try Ubuntu without
installing" and it seemed to start booting (flash screen appeared). Then
after a while it dropped down to BusyBox. The message it gave might be
of some help: "(initramfs) Unable to find medium containing a live file
system". I then switched off the PC and booted again. This time I
selected "Install Ubuntu" from the grub boot menu, but it dropped down
to BusyBox again with the same message. If there is any way I can get
more information from BusyBox, please let me know.

[Bug 1798251] [NEW] Cannot boot from USB pen drive

2018-10-17 Thread John Bester
Public bug reported:

I have not been able to successfully create a bootable USB flash drive
for about two years using modern desktop versions of Ubuntu. This
weekend I tried again by booting from an Ubuntu Desktop 18.04 amd64
workstation and using ubuntu-18.04-desktop-amd64.iso. The qemu test run
seemed to boot, but after a while the boot splash screen just remained
open. The PC I intended to do a clean install on simply dropped down to
BusyBox. I tried various BIOS settings such as booting from UEFI,
booting from legacy etc with no success. In the past I got different
results on different workstations, but never got a USB stick booting (I
forgot which version of Ubuntu this started becoming an issue, because I
have created USB boot disks for older versions of Ubuntu many times). I
have tried UNetbootin, MultiWriter, usb-creator-gtk and even tried Rufus
on a Windows VM on KVM. None of the options worked (actually, UNetbootin
did not even start up correctly). Up to now the workstations I built up
had DVD drives, so I simply made a bootable CD - which has never let me
down. However this last workstation did not have a DVD drive so in the
end I booted Ubuntu 16.04 which it had installed on a different drive
and used grml-rescueboot to boot the ISO and perform the installation.
If you google "Ubuntu does not boot from usb" you will find that it
seems there this is an existing issue for many people. I would seriously
consider having a standard USB image with grml preinstalled and allowing
users to put whichever ISO they want to boot in a specific folder on the
USB drive. There are a number of web sites explaining how to create a
USB drive which is bootable in both UEFI and Legacy modes, and since
Windows 10 ships on a single USB pen drive it should be totally possible
to have a solution for Linux as well.

2018-07-18 Thread John Bester
Thanks. Some very good news: In a previous message I asked how I could
get back to having USB card controlled by Linux USB driver. I still
cannot tell whether a recent kernel upgrade bought about the change, but
Linux is still handing over the device to vfio (without me changing
anything in etc) and I figured out the driver problem. I tried to get a
VIA driver, because I looked at the output of lspci where in I should
have looked at the card manufacturer. Got the correct driver and all is
good now - all attached USB drivers works as they did before the upgrade
to Ubuntu 18.04. I did a complete shut down of the server and even
removed the power supply as well to ensure that all hardware do a
complete reset and after booting up again everything still worked as
expected.

[Bug 1781891] Re: PCI USB card passthrough does not work any more

2018-07-18 Thread John Bester
First let me thank you for your quick and informative and very helpful
responses.

Installing the mainline kernel is not really an option for the following
reason: The server is at a client and was built about a month before
Ubuntu 18.04 was released, so I opted to install Ubuntu Server 17.10 to
get the latest updates in KVM and then upgrade to 18.04 as soon as it
became available. This upgrade lead to PCI graphics adapter not
forwarded (needed for 3D graphics used on VM) as well as the USB PCI
card and it caused. Fortunately Christian got my heart rate back to
normal after pointing out how I could fix the Graphics pass-through
(which was at the time crucial to get the office firing on all
cylinders). In the mean time I used other solutions to get round a
number of USB issues (including falling back to a old VirtualBox VM for
one application and using Dosbox for interfacing with a USB to Serial
device). So at this point I am reluctant to try a kernel that is not
released via the Ubuntu repositories as I think you can understand. How
long do you think it will take for this current mainline kernel release
you meniuned to make its way into Ubuntu repositories?

There is one side effect of the USB pass-through that I don't think I
have mentioned to now, but I am not very clear on its relevance and even
if this is a real issue. Every time I have ever worked with USB devices,
I always relied on the USB device ID (e.g. 1d6b:0002). For some peculiar
reason in the Windows 10 pro VM this ID is nowhere to be found when
going through the device properties in the device manager. I only saw
this after trying to identify the correct USB device for updating a
driver and it might be that Windows just never show the ID, or it could
be because of changes to the way USB devices connected to a USB
controller card is now shared to a VM when only the card is passed to
the VM using pass-through. The most likely explanation is that I try to
steer clear of Windows wherever possible and therefore does not know too
much on what to expect when I am faced with a situation where I have to
look deeper. In any event, you would know best what to make of this.

[Bug 1781891] Re: PCI USB card passthrough does not work any more

2018-07-17 Thread John Bester
I followed the instructions to unbind the device from xhci and bind it
to vfio and afterwords I was able to boot the VM with the PCI card set
up as pass-through. However, the Windows VM only listed it as an unknown
PCI device and could not find the device drivers (VIA VL805) and I could
not find any driver on the internet, so I tried to roll back the changes
so that the one USB device that did work could still work. This is where
I am stuck now since a reboot does not load the xhci device as before. I
was under the impression unloading the device using the given
instructions would only change it until I reboot since I have not
changed anything in etc. I tried binding it to xhci again, but could
not. I would really appreciate some help getting it back to how it was
since I can only do these tests after hours.

[Bug 1776269] Re: Installer causes VM to be paused

2018-06-13 Thread John Bester
Thanks. This put me on the right track and I was able to solve the
problem. I will summarise the steps I took. (The PCI address in my case
is 26:00.0 - take that into account when reading further)

On the KVM host, execute the following:
dmesg | grep -i 'vfio.*26[:]00'
 
This produced the following:
vfio-pci :26:00.0: BAR 0: can't reserve [mem 0xe000-0xefff 64bit 
pref] 

These entries indicates that the VM cannot access all IO memory of the
PCI device.

To find out which module grabbed the IO memory, do the following in the
KVM host:

grep -B 5 -A 5 "26[:]00" /proc/iomem

This had the following entry:
e000-e01e : efifb

This address block is inside the block that could not be reserved for
the VM and efifb (EFI Frame Buffer) grabbed this memory. In my case, the
PCI device was also the primary device configured for the PC in EFI. It
could also be be vesafb (VESA Frame Buffer). The vesafb or efifb uses
this address block for virtual consoles. (See
/sys/class/vtconsole/vtcon0 and vtcon1).

I tried the following options from the given references:
echo 0 > /sys/class/vtconsole/vtcon0/bind
echo 0 > /sys/class/vtconsole/vtcon1/bind
reboot - this did not solve the problem

I also tried a solution which requires that edit /etc/default/grub:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" video=vesa:off,efifb:off"
update-initramfs -u
update-grub
reboot - this did not solve the problem either

Then I some more options:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" vga=normal nofb nomodeset 
video=efifb:off"
update-initramfs -u
update-grub
reboot - this solved the problem and after reboot efifb did not lock that 
address range any more.

[Bug 1776269] Re: Installer causes VM to be paused

2018-06-12 Thread John Bester
How difficult would it be to have a PPA repository with the qemu /
libvirt version that was distributed with 17.10? I know that 18.04 is an
LTS and therefore big software changes will not happen. I have to
rebuild a server and install 17.10 if I do not get a solution to this
process quickly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Bug 1776269] [NEW] Installer causes VM to be paused

2018-06-11 Thread John Bester
Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 4.15.0-23.25-generic 4.15.18
Linux sbri19 4.15.0-23-generic #25-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 23 18:02:16 UTC 2018 
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I have an Ubuntu 18.04 Server with a Windows 10 VM with AMD Graphics
card passthrough. The driver happily installed and worked like a charm
in Ubuntu Server 17.10. The server was built just before Ubuntu 18.04
was released and Ubuntu Server 17.10 was installed as a temporary
measure. After upgrading to Ubuntu Server 18.04, I had to reinstall the
AMD driver. Unfortunately, the VM goes into PAUSE mode during the driver
installation (hardware detected without a problem). To resume the VM, it
needs to be reset.

The attachments show the log of the VM as well as the error when trying
to resume the VM after it has been paused.

Ubuntu 18.04 has libvirt 4.0.0, and Ubuntu 17.10 had libvirt 3.6, so
this seems to be a bug that slipped in. Since Libvirt is already on
version 4.4, is there a ppa repository with a later version which I can
test so see if the bug has been resolved?

[Bug 1769309] [NEW] Ubuntu 18.04 boot extremely slow

2018-05-05 Thread John Bester
Public bug reported:

I have upgraded Ubuntu 16.04 (amd64) using Gnome as desktop to Ubuntu
18.04. Ubuntu 16.04 took just over 20 seconds from the time a selection
on the Grub boot menu was made until the login screen was displayed. On
Ubuntu 18.04 it takes about 20 seconds (from Grub menu) to display the
boot splash screen and in total it takes about 2min 30sec until the
login menu (gdm) is displayed.

Expected behaviour: 
I would expect a new LTS release to have a similar boot time than the previous 
release. At this time I am experiencing boot times slower that those I had a 
few years ago from a traditional hard drive (which used to be just under 2min)

Additional information:
I have recently built two Ubuntu servers (17.10 in expectation of upgrading to 
18.04 upon release). I found that the boot process went fairly smooth right 
until the end where it seems to wait for about a minute for what seems to be a 
network connection. After that wait period the text login prompt is displayed. 
So I am guessing that there might be a service start timeout which blocks the 
process.

[Bug 1751230] [NEW] libc_bin package broken

2018-02-23 Thread John Bester
Public bug reported:

After an upgrade, I got this problem:

dpkg: error processing package libc-bin (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 139

During several retries and trying several possible solutions I found on the 
internet, I have seen this as well:
Segmentation fault

This bug was reported in earlier versions of Ubuntu (as far back as 2011). None 
of the suggestions worked - they included:
apt -f install
dpkg --configure -a
apt autoremove
apt autoclean
apt clean
One solution suggested to remove the broken package, but that would have meant 
breaking Ubuntu.

I created the following a workaround:

Download the deb file (libc-bin_2.23-0ubuntu10_amd64.deb) from ubuntu
package web site (https://packages.ubuntu.com) and save it in /tmp.
Trying to install this deb will not work. Extract the contents into an
empty folder (e.g. /tmp/fix). With mc (midnight commander) this is
pretty easy, but here are some commands that might help.

mkdir -p /tmp/fix/DEBIAN
cd /tmp/fix
ar x ../libc-bin_2.23-0ubuntu10_amd64.deb
tar -xf data.tar.gz
cd /tmp/fix/DEBIAN
tar -xf ../control.tar.gz
cd /tmp
rm control.tar.gz
rm data.tar.gx

In the end, you need to have etc, sbin, usr and DEBIAN folders in
/tmp/fix.

If you used mc, you might have INFO and INSTALL - you can delete them.

Move DEBIAN/postinst to some other place (e.g. /tmp)

Now rebuild the package without the postinst script.

cd /tmp
dpkg --build /tmp/fix

You should now have package called build.deb in /tmp. You need to rename
it, so use this command:

mv /tmp/build.deb /tmp/fix/libc-bin_2.23-0ubuntu10_amd64.deb

Now install this file:

dpkg -i tmp/fix/libc-bin_2.23-0ubuntu10_amd64.deb
(it should not cause any problems)

Now run the script that was supposed to be run by the installer:

bash /tmp/postinst

Ok, so now you can continue working until the problem has been sorted
out.

I attached the repackaged deb - please verify your architecture and
version before using it.

[Bug 900384] Re: usbipd requires usbip_common_mod.ko and usbip.ko kernel modules, which are not available in any package

2018-02-21 Thread John Bester
Just tried it on Ubuntu 16.04 with kernel 4.4.0-112 and the problem
persists. It is now more than 6 years - yes 6 YEARS - since this problem
has been logged. And no, linux-tools-generic does not solve the problem.
It does not contain libusb, libusbd, usbip_common_mod.ko or usbip.ko.
According to ubuntu package search linux-tools-generic only contains a
changelog.gz and copyright.

I think it is safe to say this project is dead in the water, since
nobody seems interested in solving the actual problem.

[Bug 1698806] [NEW] Apache dbd auth configuration error

2017-06-19 Thread John Bester
Public bug reported:

OS: Ubuntu 1604
Apache2: 2.4.18-2ubuntu

Using DBD authentication using a Postgresql database for specific files
seems impossible. The following configuration entries seems only to be
allowed in global area (VirtualHost element) of a host definition.
Putting it in a  element causes Apache not to start up:

DBDriver pgsql
DBDParams "host=127.0.0.1 port=5432 dbname=userdb user=www password=www"
DBDMin  2
DBDKeep 4
DBDMax  10
DBDExptime 300

The AuthDBDUserPWQuery parameter is not allowed in VirtualHost element.
It causes "AuthDBDUserPWQuery not allowed here" on apache startup.
Putting it in a  element is allowed, but if I then try to
activate this authentication via a .htaccess file, It produces "AH01654:
No AuthDBDUserPWQuery has been specified" in error log.

I AuthDBDUserPWQuery is defined in either the global section or in a 
 element causes 
".htaccess: AuthDBDUserPWQuery not allowed here" in error log.

Adding any of DB... parameters listed earlier in .htaccess also does not
work. So it seems there is no way to configure DBD authentication.

[Bug 1698758] [NEW] Encrypted password causes segmentation fault

2017-06-19 Thread John Bester
Public bug reported:

I have configured a .htaccess to use libapache2-mod-auth-pgsql to
authenticate a user against a postgres database. The settings are as
follows:

AuthType basic
AuthName "My Auth"
Require valid-user
AuthBasicProvider pgsql
Auth_PG_authoritative On
Auth_PG_host 127.0.0.1
Auth_PG_port 5432
Auth_PG_user www
Auth_PG_pwd password
Auth_PG_database userdb
Auth_PG_encrypted off
Auth_PG_pwd_table UserLogin
Auth_PG_uid_field Username
Auth_PG_pwd_field ApachePassword

If I set Auth_PG_encrypted to off, then authentication works but the
downside is that I have to save plain unencrypted password on the
database. If I set Auth_PG_encrypted to on, a segmentation fault occurs.
A typical password to be contained in ApachePassword field is the
following (for password "password"): "{SHA}W6ph5Mm5Pz8GgiULbPgzG37mj9g="
- This matches exactly to what would be generated by htpasswd -s.

Here is the error log entry I get:

[Bug 1642598] [NEW] Nemo memory leak

2016-11-17 Thread John Bester
Public bug reported:

Nemo either has a memory leak or very bad memory management. Ubuntu
16.04 comes to a grinding halt on a PC with Nemo installed. This
happened a number of times the last week (since nemo was installed
because of its ability to have dual panes). The PC is switched off every
night and some time during the day it becomes slower and slower until it
comes to a grinding halt. This last time I was informed and was able to
SSH in before the system completely died. Memory consumption was 100%
and I had to kill some other app in order to open top. Nemo used 3.2GB
at the time and after killing it, the system became responsive again.

Additional information that may be helpful: A smb share is used to
access all company data from a central server. I have read about memory
issues in Nemo and one person seems to think it is a thumbnail issue.

[Bug 1577341] [NEW] 180, 000 _XSERVTrans error log lines on single boot

2016-05-02 Thread John Bester
Public bug reported:

lsb_release -rd
Description:Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Release:16.04

uname -a
Linux popeye 4.4.0-21-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 18 18:33:37 UTC 2016 
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


My PC booted in 18 seconds before upgrading to Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 - now it 
takes 2 minutes. I tried to find the culprit in the logs. There is a set of 4 
lines that repeats abount 50,000 times (to be exact, a total of 179628 log 
lines containing "gdm-x-session[2329]: _XSERVTrans".) Although these entries 
are logged over a timespan of 4 seconds, I cannot but wonder how long syslog 
takes to acually log the individual entries to the /var/log/syslog file. In 
total, this adds 22MB of logging output to syslog.
(By the way, my Gnome 3 session starts just fine, the log is just outrageous)

What I expect to happen: Logging the same error as may times in such a short 
period indicates one of two problems: 
1) If something fails (maybe some service is not ready yet), then allow more 
time before trying again - there is no point in taking away processing power if 
some service is trying to start up. 
2) If it is an absolute necessity for the number of failures (there might be 
50,000 small components all trying the same thing), then limit log output. 
Logging the 4 lines once, then adjust a counter which you then log once the 
process is complete. 

Here follows this first and last lines of just such a block of errors:

[Bug 1404779] Re: Hp Designjet 130 prints part of page then freezes

2016-02-02 Thread John Bester
We have a HP-DesignJet 130 connected to Ubuntu 14.04 (upgraded from
12.04 in order to get plotter to work). The HP-DesignJet_130-cdnj500.ppd
seems to be very close to a working solution. It seems as if all that is
needed is for the buffer to be flushed and the paper ejected (manual
load). All prints (from Ubuntu test page to BricsCAD printing to
printing a PDF) prints almost the complete page and then stalls right at
the end. My gut tells me that the printer needs a command at the end of
a printout to flush whatever is in the buffer.

[Bug 1010349] Re: Evolution address book inaccessible without killing one time e-addressbook-factory

2013-01-29 Thread John Bester
I have had this problem for some time using Thunderbird. I have a
Google addressbook that I cannot remember creating. After reading
these posts (especially killing e-addressbook-factory) I seemed to have
solved it for me (a Thunderbird user). The Google address book dates
back to the time I used evolution. So here is what I understand of the
problem:

The Google address book would always be empty (after opening
Thunderbird and getting the message). But I could not delete it. After
killing e-addressbook-factory and re-opening Thunderbird, the message
was gone and the Google address book was filled. I could still not
delete it though, because Thunderbird does not allow deleting a gnome-
contacts folder (short version of message after trying to delete it).

Even though I am not using evolution any more and have uninstalled it,
evolution-data-server (package) was still installed and the gnome-
contacts depends on it. However, I have always used Thunderbird for my
contacts, so uninstalling evolution-data-server together with gnome-
contacts would not seem to affect me.

So how do I sync contacts with Google? Simple - I use Zindus Thunderbird
plugin (and have been since I installed Thunderbird). This allows you to
pick an addressbook to sync - in my case Personal Address Book. So I
really do not need to have a Google address book in any case.

[Bug 1005766] [NEW] System boot hangs

2012-05-28 Thread John Bester
Public bug reported:

Since I installed 12.04 on my system, I have had the following problem
consistently.

I first tried to upgrade an installation on a mda raid1 partition, which
simply would not boot. I then did a clean install of 12.04 on a normal
ext4 partition, but I still have a mda raid1 with ext4 mounted as /home.
I regularly install updates.

Every evening I do a shutdown, since the area I live in has many power
failures and the UPS would not sustain the machine for longer than 5
minutes. In the morning when I start up the pc, I get an all purple
screen and the hard drive light is inactive. Then I press CTRL+AL+DEL to
reboot the pc. Once it reboots, the GRUB menu appears and it starts to
boot, but it informs me that the raid is not consistent, so I have the
choice to continue booting with a degraded raid. I then select yes. By
the time I am logged in, the raid drive is ok as you can see in the
following output:

$ cat /proc/mdstat 
Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] 
[raid10] 
md2 : active raid1 sdb4[1] sda4[0]
  466366848 blocks [2/2] [UU]
  
unused devices: none

I then continue working the whole day without a single problem and shut
down at night, simply to go through the same routine the next morning.
On one or two occasions it booted up without the grub menu (as if it was
in sleep or hibernate mode). This leads me to believe that a normal
shutdown (either by gnome shutdown or the command line utility), does
not do a proper shutdown, but in stead indicates that a sleep or
hibernate state should be booted. Also, the fact that the raid drive
consistently starts up in degraded mode only to be ready when I do an
mdastat, leaves me to believe the raid drive is not shut down properly.

From reports on the internet about mda problems in 12.04 in standard
raid tests, I held back on this bug report, but now it is a month later
and the problem still has not been resolved.

[Bug 429044] Re: USB barcode scanner (emulating keyboard) crashes with current kernel

2011-09-22 Thread John Bester
According to comment on 2011-01-24 the bug fix was released. I am
currently running  and Linux 2.6.32-33 (Ubuntu 10.04) and the bug still
seems to be present. I have tried 2 different Zebex scanners and some
digits are consistently dropped. For instance a barcode 14010 yields
140. I have commented out the line blacklist usbkbd as mentioned
earlier, but I still get FATAL: Module usbkbd not found. Seemingly the
best description of the problem, I found here:
http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/LLXmLhi1jH9FherdyRBK - according
to this page, the author recognized that all key events were present,
but because of the sequence (or maybe speed) some of the events are not
translated into characters.

[Bug 429044] Re: USB barcode scanner (emulating keyboard) crashes with current kernel

2011-09-22 Thread John Bester
I did another test on Ubuntu 11.04 (which I booted from an Ubuntu
installation CD). I loaded the usbkbd module, unplugged the scanner and
plugged it in again. No change whatsoever - still got 140 in stead of
14014. The exact same scanner works in a Windows XP POS system, but on
3 different computers with Linux installations it consistently misses
characters.

[Bug 400485] Re: Empathy sounds not in default ubuntu theme

2011-03-02 Thread John Bester
It is a pity, really, to think that programmers have time to waste like
this. Had it been me, I would have simply added an Ubuntu with sound
scheme in 2009 when this bug was first reported. Yes, here we are in
2011 and the only time spent on the bug was posting 50 replies to this
bug.

[Bug 343421] Re: antspotlight crashed with SIGSEGV in exit()

2010-09-10 Thread John Bester
I think the bug I experienced over the last month or two is linked to
this. Often I would get back to the login screen in stead of the unlock
screen after screen saver was activated (screen would be switched off at
already at that time). This means all the programs in my session is
closed. At first I thought the PC rebooted for some reason, but after
checking process times (TIME+ in top), I determined the computer could
not have rebooted. I then tried to find the screensaver that caused this
(because I was using random screen saver). I would use a specific
screensaver for a day or two and after using the first 6, the problem
occurred on 50% of them. I don't know whether this would help, but it
seems to me that the user session is terminated if there is an invalid
exit condition on the screen saver. Would it not be possible to catch
and log screen saver errors without loosing the user session?

[Bug 531027] Re: spurious warning at boot time that is unrelated to your actual problem

After getting GLib WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user
id (0) on fresh install of Lubuntu 10.4 and reading lots of posts, I
looked and /var/log/lxdm.log and found a message stating that no screens
could be detected. I then found there was a rahter empty xorg.conf in
/etc/X11. I renamed it to xorg.conf.bak and rebooted and whala - problem
solved (for me at least).
