[Bug 299330] Re: Alt+Tab - switching applications delay. slow

2009-06-17 Thread John McCabe-Dansted
I some times get this if I have a  large number of windows open. I
disabled visual effects. Problem went away. It said "could not enable
visual effects" when I tried to re-enable visual effects. I closed some
windows, including one which was frozen, and then it allowed me to re-
enable desktop effects. Problem became less serious.

Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit on Dual Core 2 with ATI Radeon 4650 RV730 PRO [Radeon
HD 4650], latest flgrx drivers. This machine has not problems with e.g.
Wobbly Windows.

 Time to do 10 Alt-tabs:
Extra effects: ~10 seconds
Normal effects: ~9.4 seconds
No(ne) effects: Less than ~3.5 seconds 
Extra effects afterwards:  4-7 seconds

Glxinfo reports:
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: ATI

I have added UseFastTLS to my Xorg to fix a crasher bug in Wine:
Section "Device"
Identifier  "Configured Video Device"
Driver  "fglrx"
Option "UseFastTLS" "2"
EndSection

You can benchmark to speed of Alt-tabs with the following line:
time for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ; do xvkbd -text '\A\[Tab]' ; done

OK, to reproduce, run something like:
for i in `yes | head -n 40` ; do (gwenview 
/usr/share/evolution/2.26/images/world_map-960.png &)  ;done

Then I get ~10 seconds for 10 alt-tabs. Typing
   killall gwenview
makes the problem go away again.

I can confirm this on Ubuntu 9.04 32bit, running in a VirtualBox virtual
machine. I am not running Amarok, I am running a test script that opens
and closes LyX thousands of times while sending it random keypresses. I
will try to determine exactly what causes the problem.

[Bug 334640] [NEW] Cannot open Excel XML files in openoffice 3.0

2009-02-25 Thread John McCabe-Dansted
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

When I attempt to open a Excel 2003 XML file in openoffice I get the
following error on the terminal I launched openoffice from:

Compiler warnings:
  
file:///usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.0/share/xslt/import/spreadsheetml/spreadsheetml2ooo.xsl:
 line 4536: Attribute 'style:family' outside of element.
ERROR:  'Error checking type of the expression 'funcall(count, 
[+(cast(ParentLocationPath(step("child", 74), step("child", 75)), real), 
funcall(number, [variable-ref(spannedRows/result-tree)]))])'.'
FATAL ERROR:  'Could not compile stylesheet'

I then receive an empty spreadsheet regardless of the actual contents of
the XML file.

I can open and create XML files in in OpenOffice 2.x (with Ubuntu 8.10
or Fedora), however, in openoffice 3.0 I get the above error. This error
occurs in both Ubuntu 8.10 64bit (with oo 3.0 from PPA) and Ubuntu 9.04
32bit with default oo 3.0. This bug occurs when opening files with
created with OpenOffice 2.x or OpenOffice 3.0 (I have not tested files
created with other programs)

Unlike Bug #91759, this bug does not lead to excessive CPU usage.

To Reproduce:
Install openoffice.org-java-common
Start openoffice from a terminal, create a new spreadsheet, make any 
modification to the sheet, save the sheet as a Excel 2003 XML file. Close this 
sheet.
Attempt to reopen the sheet. (You will then notice the above error on the 
terminal, and that you the sheet you just opened is empty)

This error occurs on all files, including those generated by oo 3.0, so
it is probably easier for you to create one yourself than to download
this file. However, as requested I attach Test.xml, which I created with
oo 3.0. When opened with oo 2.4 the Cell A1 contains "Test" (correct),
when opened with oo 3.0, it is empty (incorrect) and the above error is
generated.

[Bug 339600] [NEW] OpenOffice Calc crashes regularly

2009-03-08 Thread John McCabe-Dansted
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

Like  #163430 this happens for no obvious reason, even if I am not iteracting 
with OpenOffice.  Also sometimes I get the
"Due to an unexpected error,OpenOffice.org crashed.All the files you were 
working on will be saved now.Then next time OpenOffice.org will be 
launched,your files will be recovered automatically." error. Other times it 
just locks up. In any case a couple of minutes messing around causes it to 
crash. I am not sure what information I could give that would help, gdb won't 
debug /usr/bin/ooffice, and nothing is printed on the Terminal. FYI, I am 
running it (Jaunty) under VirtualBox 2.1.4. This bug may be related to #249090, 
as I get similar errors in the .xsession-errors file, however this bug 
(re)occured in Juanty, where as the bug #249090 is old (Hardy).

[Bug 339758] [NEW] Failed to retrieve channel layout from caps

2009-03-08 Thread John McCabe-Dansted
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

In Jaunty running under VirtualBox 2.1.4, I installed the swfdec flash
player, then firefox froze, and core dumped a couple of minutes later.
The output on the terminal was firefox.stderr (attached). I got the
following message:

`Sorry, the program "firefox" closed unexpectedly

Your computer does not have enough free memory to automatically analyze
the problem and send a report to the developers.'

This was odd, because top reported substantial free memory and swap:

Mem:380144k total,   266232k used,   113912k free, 6748k buffers
Swap:   578300k total,   278108k used,   300192k free,78928k cached

When I restarted firefox and closed all tabs except the one with the swf file: 
http://gorillamask.net/gm_media.php?show_page=video&page_id=22238

, Firefox played the file, but I still got:

** (firefox:4987): WARNING **: Failed to retrieve channel layout from
caps. This usually means there is a GStreamer element that does not
implement multichannel audio correctly. Please file a bug.

So I am filing a bug.

[Bug 345855] [NEW] OO-Writer 3.0 Floating Frame does not update view if Contents not found

2009-03-20 Thread John McCabe-Dansted
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

This bug occurs in the current official  Jaunty  OpenOffice Writer
(openoffice.org-writer 1:3.0.1-7ubuntu1) and the OpenOffice 3.0 for
Intrepid available via PPA.

When dragging a window over the Floating Frame, trailing garbage is
left. This is similar to what usually happens when a program freezes,
except that it is only in the Floating Frame, not the whole OO-Writer
window.

To reproduce:
Insert->Floating Frame
Set "Contents" to "a" (or other file that does not exist), and Click OK.

You will then see a small dialog titled "OpenOffice.org 3.0" saying "/a
does not exist". Click OK. The dialog will appear a second time. Click
OK again.

Now drag another window over the floating frame. Notice that it leaves
trailing garbage.

I don't think both video drivers have the exact same bug. However,
dragging a window over the the frame will not be sufficient to trigger
the bug if Virtual Effects are enabled as this compiz does not send
redraw events to applications.

 If Virtual Effects are enabled, you'll have to e.g. scroll down in the
OO-Writer window until the floating frame is occluded, then scroll back
up to witness the bug.

Since you can middle click the URL bar icon to load a URL in the

search for the text in the selection buffer.  This would not only be
consistent, but would also make to easy to search without losing your

[Bug 57787] Obscure scary warning in installer.

2006-08-26 Thread John McCabe-Dansted
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I found the following warning misleading and obtuse

"WARNING: This will destroy all data on any partitions you have removed
as well as on the partitions that are going to be formatted.

  The following partitions are going to be formatted:
 partition #9 of /dev/hdc as swap
 partition #3 of /dev/hdc as ext3"

I believe that in this case no data will be erased; that all data will
be created from unpartitioned space. This warning does not make it clear
whether this is the case.

Also, "Partition #9" will mean nothing to an end user. They would really want 
to know "what data is on partition #9". The following would have more meaning:
  What are the current contents of hdc9? (I.e. have a button that allows user 
to browse hdc9 in Nautilus)
  Is partition #9 a new or empty partition?
  If #9 is not empty, how much space is used?
  How big is #9?

Also to a savvy user /dev/hdc9 would be more clear than " partition #9
of /dev/hdc".

[Bug 58110] Cannot print to Canon 1210 on LPT1.

2006-08-29 Thread John McCabe-Dansted
Public bug reported:

When I try to print a test page to my Canon Laser Shot LBP-1210 on LPT1
(/dev/lp0), gnome-cups-manager reports that the job was processed,
however nothing prints.

This could be a driver issue since there is no driver for the 1210, so I
had to try the 1000 and 1260 drivers. However this does not seem to
explain the errors below.

When I try to print, I get an error:

E [29/Aug/2006:23:06:10 +0800] [Job 15] No %%BoundingBox: comment in

in /var/log/cups/error_log
even when not printing, I get ~100 per minute of the following errors:
E [29/Aug/2006:23:11:45 +0800] cupsdAuthorize: Local authentication certificate

My cupsys is 1.2.2-0ubuntu0.6.06. My cpu is a Duron 750Mhz.

[Bug 394575] [NEW] Ubiquity runs ntfsresize without warning or permission

2009-07-01 Thread John McCabe-Dansted
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I was running Ubiquity from an already installed UNR9.04 drive
(/dev/sdb) under VirtualBox (32bit client, 64bit host), and attempting
to install onto /dev/sda. Once I had selected my keyboard type, my
harddisks went crazy. I noticed that ntfsresize was running. This leads
me to believe that Ubiquity started ntfsresize without any warning or
permission.

As shown by the attached screenshot, ntfsresize started running when I
was still on the "Keyboard  Layout" screen. Also as shown the forward
and back buttons are greyed out, so Ubiquity seems to be waiting for
ntfsresize to finish whatever it is doing.

[Bug 394575] Re: Ubiquity runs ntfsresize without warning or permission

2009-07-02 Thread John McCabe-Dansted
I think it is running ntfsresize to query ntfsresize as to by how much
space ntfsresize can shrink the partition by, rather than actually
resizing the partition. This is reasonable, however it would be nice for
Ubiquity to give some notification as to why it is sitting there
churning the harddisk for over an hour.

[Bug 394575] Re: Ubiquity runs ntfsresize without warning or permission

2009-07-03 Thread John McCabe-Dansted
I was installing onto a 500GB device that was ntfs formatted, and had
120GB of free space. As it turns out ntfsresize couldn't create 30MB of
unpartitioned space. Ntfsresize was also very slow outside of the VM.

As I understand, Ubiquity would run ntfsresize four times, if I were to resize 
the partition
1) Just after selected the keyboard layout.
2) When starting the manual partitioner.
3) Just before resizing the ntfs partition, to check that it will actually work.
4) Calling ntfsresize to actually resize the partition.

If ntfsresize is meant to be this slow on a large drive, then I would
suggest removing 1+2, and just rely on df to give the user a clue as to
how much space they can free up. To keep the windows drive usable you
probably won't want to remove all free-space anyway, and ntfsresize
isn't always reliable in its estimates as to how much space it can free
up anyway. However other partitioners also behave in a similar way, e.g.
gparted runs ntfsresize on start if there are unmounted ntfs partitions
and partman also runs ntfsresize before it will even let you specify how
much space you want to remove.

Even if ntfsresize isn't meant to be that slow, #2 seems redundant,
since it could have been cached from #1.

The ntfsresize from 
  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/amd64/ntfsprogs/2.0.0-1ubuntu2
also takes a longing time to checking for freeable space. (over 5minutes, on 
the 500GB usb drive on a native Dual Core 2)

   "...trying to set up timer as Virtual Wire IRQ"

The command I use is:
   qemu ubuntu-9.04-netbook-remix-i386.img

Using other commands like 
   qemu-system-x86_64 ...
   qemu-system-i386 ...
etc. do not seem to help.

I also get the warning 
   Could not open '/dev/kqemu' - QEMU acceleration layer not activated: No such 
file or directory
In the terminal I start qemu on. My CPU does not have special VM support.

This bug appears to be related to Bug #320320, which reports the same
problem in KVM. The problem in KVM has been fixed, but I still get this
problem in qemu (0.10.0-1ubuntu1).

[Bug 413721] [NEW] Nothing to distinguish between two ATI FGLRX drivers in Restricted Hardware Manager.

2009-08-14 Thread John McCabe-Dansted
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: restricted-manager

When using the Restricted Hardware Manager on a Karmic Daily Live CD
(about Aug 7 I believe), the Restricted Hardware Manager offers me the
choice of two FGLRX drivers. However the description of both is exactly
the same. Maybe one is the "legacy" driver? See the attached screen

[Bug 384680] [NEW] Slow when large amount of memory used, even if plenty left

2009-06-07 Thread John McCabe-Dansted
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image

If I run "sudo memtester 3600" on a 4GiB machine, the system becomes
unusably slow and the hard disk is being continually accessed, even when
I am doing nothing and have only two epiphany windows open (and
memtester).

Expected behaviour:
Since there is over 384MB of memory leftover from memtester, and Ubuntu is fast 
with 384MB if you only have a couple of couple of windows open, I would expect 
Ubuntu to be fast and responsive after paging out unneeded memory.

Actual behaviour:
The next morning Ubuntu is still slow, having had plenty of time to rearrange 
its memory use and page out unneed data. Epiphany reports that there is an 
unresponsive script on Gmail. The harddisk is constantly active, even when not 
doing anything.

Allocating 3600MB of RAM with memtester is a rather pathological case.
However I have had severe slow downs when opening two VMs with less than
512MiB each on a 2GiB machine (leaving over 1GiB to other processes), so
similar problems can occur in reasonable everyday usage. Tested on 9.04
64bit with a Dual Core 2 processor.

2009-06-08 Thread John McCabe-Dansted
I'll just mention that I tried booting this machine with mem=392M. This
makes it quite sluggish, but it is still moderately responsive with 2
epiphany tabs open and 7 firefox tabs open... much better than with the
full 4GB, but running memtester -m 3600 above. I would expect that the
speed would be exactly the same (except for having memtester using 1 of
my two cores, but that shouldn't make much difference when IO bound).

[Bug 299921] [NEW] Cannot open lyx-1.6.x files

2008-11-19 Thread John McCabe-Dansted
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: lyx

When I try to open a lyx version 1.6.0 file, I get the following error:
"/home/xp/v160.lyx is from a different version of LyX, but the lyx2lyx script
failed to convert it."

Since Hardy will be supported for a while it would be nice to be able to open 
files from later versions of LyX. There are two ways of doing this
1) In lyx we can replace the lyx2lyx dir with a later version without needing 
to update the rest of LyX (except perhaps the "unicodesymbols" file may need to 
be updated as well). This will allow LyX to import files from later versions of 
LyX in the same way it can import files from previous versions.
2) Update lyx from 1.5.{3,6} to 1.5.7. 1.5.7 can read 1.6.x files. The primary 
difference is bugfixes which should be OK, but beware of the caveat for the 
1.5.4  update:

"We were forced to switch from the LaTeX package 'floatflt' to 'wrapfig'
for wrap figure floats due to a license problem that limited the
availability of the former package. In general, this should improve your
documents containing wrap figures, however, it is possible that the look
and positioning of the floats changes due to the package change. If you
have documents with wrap floats, please make a backup before upgrading
and check the output.

Please find enclosed an announcement, some sources in tar.gz format (also 
.tar.bz2) and finally a gzipped patch (in .bz2 too). In a few days there should 
also be some binaries (mirror server)."

[Bug 134257] Cannot "Go to the address in the Location Bar"

2007-08-23 Thread John McCabe-Dansted
Public bug reported:

After a while of using FireFox, if I click the "Go the address in the
Location Bar" button to the right of the Location Bar nothing happens.
Likewise if I click into the Location bar and press Enter nothing
happens. I would expect the browser to load the address in the Location
Bar.

This can we worked around by typing the address into the Search bar and
clicking on the link from the Google page. Restarting FireFox also seems
to make the problem go away temporarily.

Using Fiesty with Firefox 2.0.0.6. Extensions installed are "Long Titles
1.3" and "del.icio.us Bookmarks 1.5.29".

[Bug 134280] Firefox stores editable documents in /tmp

2007-08-23 Thread John McCabe-Dansted
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

If you browse to a file in Firefox (e.g.
http://www.csse.uwa.edu.au/~john/bugs/test.rtf ), and select Open
instead of "Save As" then it will save the file in /tmp. This file is
writeable, so you can edit this file and save it.

The behaviour of each component take individually is reasonable, however as a 
system:
  * The user requested that OpenOffice "Save" the file, yet the file will only 
be stored temporarily (until /tmp is next cleaned.)
  * There is no indication or OpenOffice did not Save the file to a permanent 
location.
  * There is no visual reminder that the file is in /tmp.
  - The "Downloads" window lists it as a download and claims "All files 
downloaded to: Desktop"
  - OpenOffice doesn't display the path at the top of the window, just the 
file name.
 
As a result, it easy for the user to accidentally lose work done on downloaded 
files. 

I expect that, every time I click save, my file is saved to a permanent 
location.
. Possible fixes include
 * Firefox could mark its temporary files in /tmp as read-only, forcing the 
user to save elsewhere (but see bug #97292)
 * OpenOffice (etc.) could warn the user the first time they attempt to "Save" 
a file to /tmp

[Bug 192303] [NEW] ignore_nice_load counter productive on new machines.

2008-02-15 Thread John McCabe-Dansted
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: sysvinit

I've noticed that ondemand/ignore_nice_load is set by default. However on 
modern cpus, running a task at full speed actually takes less power, see
  http://www.bughost.org/pipermail/power/2007-May/000166.html
and 
  http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_make_use_of_Dynamic_Frequency_Scaling

On Hardy, ondemand and ignore_nice_load appears to be set by default,
even on my desktop machine running on AC power. This needlessly wastes
both performance and power.

This might be best corrected by changing the default value of 
  /apps/gnome-power-manager/cpufreq/consider_nice
(e.g. in gconf-editor)

you can see the current values of ignore_nice_load by entering:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/cpufreq/ondemand/ignore_nice_load

I would expect that ignore_nice_load would only be set if
  - running on battery power, and
  - running on an old CPU for which ignore_nice_load actually saves power.

[Bug 193267] [NEW] Should not install to /dev/fd* or /dev/ccache

2008-02-19 Thread John McCabe-Dansted
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I am running ubiquity under VirtualBox 1.5.4 to test the Hardy installer
under low memory situations. I am using 192MB ram and a 128MB ccache
virtual swap partition.

Ubiquity defaults to attempt to install to /dev/ccache. This is
pointless as ccache will disappear on reboot. I would expect Ubiquity to
default to install on the physical harddisk.

It is also odd the ubiquity allows us to attempt to perform a guided
install on /dev/fd0. I don't think ubiquity should even offer to install
to /dev/fd* or /dev/ccache.

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubiquity

The dialog asks us "Would you like the installer to try to unmount these

I expect to be able to answer "yes" or "no". However, I have the options
"Go back" and "Continue". See: http://www.ucc.asn.au/~mccabedj/ccache

[Bug 193552] [NEW] Support 256MB machines in Ubiquity.

2008-02-19 Thread John McCabe-Dansted
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Ubuntu supports 256MB machines, but Ubiquity only supports machines with 384MB 
of ram or more. Fixing this is as simple as adding
   modprobe lzo_compress
   modprobe lzo_decompress
   insmod tlsf.ko
   insmod ccache.ko ccache_size_kbytes=128000
   swapon /dev/ccache 
to the LiveCD init scripts. (assuming tlsf.ko and ccache.ko are in the current 
directory)
The source can be downloaded from
   
http://ccache.googlecode.com/files/ccache-0.1.tar.bz2http://code.google.com/p/ccache/

This is a form of feature freeze exception request.
0 lines of code are added. 
ccache.ko and tlsf.ko require 902 lines of new C code. See:
  http://ccache.googlecode.com/files/ccache-0.1.tar.bz2

I have tested the LiveCD and Ubiquity on a VM with 192MB of ram. Without 
ccache.ko it is unusable, with ccache.ko it gives good performance even in 
resource hungry applications like Firefox.  For more information on my testing, 
and discussion of this module, see:

[Bug 193543] Floppy not empty.

2008-02-20 Thread John McCabe-Dansted
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 188256 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/188256

Perhaps.

However, Bug #188256 says the problem only exists when the CD is empty,
while my virtual floppy drive is clearly not empty since I can mount it
manually.

Perhaps there is a bug in VirtualBox, falsely reporting the floppy drive
to be empty even though it allows normal block device access to fd0. If
so this may also be related to the fact that Ubiquity offered to install
Ubuntu onto /dev/fd0 under Virtual Box (see Bug #193267).

[Bug 193543] Not mounting the floppy is the bug.

2008-02-20 Thread John McCabe-Dansted
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 188256 ***

"the floppy is not mounted in your case which leads to a similar
situation" -- Sebastien Bacher

AFAICT, two bugs result in the behaviour I reported in this report:
  1) if mount fails, no acknowledgement is produced.
  2) The floppy is not mounted (by nautilus), 

The bug (1) may well be the same as bug 188256, however the bug I am actually 
reporting is (2). 
Number (2) is not a bug with respect to the behaviour noted in bug 188256, 
since it is reasonable that nautilus will not mount an empty drive.
However (2) is a bug here, as "mount" allows me to mount the floppy, so it is 
reasonable to expect nautilus to also allow me to mount the floppy.

We appear to be violently agreeing ;).

[Bug 190340] [NEW] atl2.ko too old for Attansic L2 100 Mbit Ethernet (rev a0)

2008-02-08 Thread John McCabe-Dansted
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-5-generic

To use my integrated network card on any existing version of Ubuntu I need to 
download atl2-2.0.4.tar.bz2 and use the atl2.ko from that package. My network 
card is reported by lspci as:
  02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Attansic Technology Corp. L2 100 Mbit Ethernet 
Adapter (rev a0)
This card is integrated into my Core Duo motherboard.

On the current Hardy snapshot liveCD , I get the following errors (without 
atl2-2.0.4):
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo ifdown eth0
ifdown: interface eth0 not configured
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo ifup eth0
Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0.

this is odd since ifconfig reports that eth0 exists:
eth0  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1a:92:8c:1d:3a
  UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
  RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
  TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:1
  collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
  RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
  Memory:dffc-e000 

if I rmmod atl2 and modprobe atl2 this does not help. However if I
insmod the 2.0.4 version of atl2.ko this instantly fixes the problem.

It would be nice to fix this before the final liveCD is released as
downloading atl2-2.0.4 can be hard without a working network card.

[Bug 190340] Re: atl2.ko too old for Attansic L2 100 Mbit Ethernet (rev a0)

2008-02-08 Thread John McCabe-Dansted
Also atl2-source is too old to build against 2.6.24 (see bug 190342). You'll 
have to download from upstream:
  http://people.redhat.com/csnook/atl2/

Redhat have integrated this new driver in their kernel, apparently.

[Bug 190342] [NEW] atl2-source to old for 2.6.24

2008-02-08 Thread John McCabe-Dansted
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: atl2-source

The version of atl2-source currently in Hardy universe is 2.0.3-1. However 
hardy uses the 2.6.24 kernel, and 2.0.3 is known not to compile. 2.0.4 contains 
a build fix for 2.6.24, see:
  http://people.redhat.com/csnook/atl2/

If this is important, the actual error generated is:

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.24-5-generic/build 
SUBDIRS=/home/ubuntu/Desktop/modules/atl2 modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-5-generic'
