[Bug 1913855] [NEW] Failure to pass system check and present login screen
Public bug reported: I'm reporting this against xorg, because of where the problem occurs, as indicated below, I can't tell if the problem is with xorg, lightdm or light-locker. The system is a Dell Optiplex 745 single-booting to Xubuntu 20.04 up-to-date as of today. I replaced one of 2 monitors, the one rotated to portrait orientation, with a higher resolution monitor. Started the system, logged in as another user and changed the desktop background however, when I then logged out and restarted the system, it behaved normally until it displayed the usual /dev/sda1: clean, x/x files, /x blocks on both monitors. The prompt remained for a few seconds, slowly blinked off and on 6 times, and then remained with no further activity. The system works fine if I boot from a Xubuntu 18.04 DVD (I didn't have a 20.04 DVD, and this is the only machine with a burner). On another machine, I determined that the system was booting, because the machine was visible on the network, and its shared folders were accessible. I could get to a login prompt and log on using Alt+F1 to F6. Alt-F7 returned me to the file system check prompt. I was able to start xorg after logging on with startx, and changing all settings for the new monitor, everything worked normally until logging out, which of course returned me to the command line where I had given the command startx. If I log out requesting a restart, the system reboots, but still stops at the same place every time. That behavior hadn't changed the next day. I can use the machine, but only by selecting a terminal, logging as myself or the other user and giving the startx command. I have been unable to find anything on the Internet that corrects the problem. Since the problem first started, two crashes have occurred and I allowed them to be reported; however, they were light-locker crashes. I reinstalled lightdm and light-locker, but that made no difference. I installed gdm3, which works fine, but switching back to lightdm with: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3 sudo dpkg --configure lightdm resulted in: dpkg: error processing package lightdm (--configure): package lightdm is already installed and configured Errors were encountered while processing: lightdm So I can't really be sure if the problem is with xorg, lightdm or light- locker, but since there are no error messages and everything else works fine, it's clearly a bug, if a strange one. I do not relish the idea of having to reinstall Xubuntu; so for the time being, I'll use gdm3, though I prefer lightdm's ability to properly display backdrops and use the two monitors properly extended (with gdm3, the mouse moves down the left portrait monitor before moving onto the right monitor where gdm3 sees fit to put the logon dialog). The next thing I'll try is autoremoving lightdm rebooting a few times and then reinstalling it... Because of the absence of error messages and information even suggesting why X isn't starting, I have no idea what other information about my system might be useful to you, but if you need something additional, I'll try to provide it.

[Bug 1901335] [NEW] Repository version of Sigil won't run on all Ubuntu 20.04 systems.
Public bug reported: I doubt there's much point in asking a question about this, because a couple of hours searching the Internet turned up nothing on this problem, on launchpad.net or anywhere else. When I try to run Sigil 1.1 installed from the Canonical repository on a Dell Optiplex GX620 running 64 bit Xubuntu 20.04 installed from an iso (because do-release-upgrade failed beyond repair), I get the error message: /usr/local/lib/sigil/sigil: error while loading shared libraries: libpython3.6m.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory That tells me that libpython3.6m.so.1.0 doesn't exist (which it doesn't), but on a Dell Optiplex 780 on which do-release-upgrade was successful (but only after I completely removed gnuradio and snap), libpython3.6m.so.1.0 also does not exist, but Sigil 1.1 works. I found very few references to libpython3.6m.so.1.0 on the Internet, none relating to Sigil, and none that helped (including one that suggested installing python3-venv, which installed successfully, but told me I needed to install python3-venv when I entered pyvenv --help or python3-venv --help). So I can't tell if this is a bug, or due to a capability missing from the older GX620, or to a forgotten error message being triggered that is no longer valid and therefore tells nothing about the error that triggered it...

[Bug 1900887] [NEW] Screensaver lock screen incomplete and doesn't work properly for mult-head setup.
Public bug reported: After upgrading to 20.04 on a dual monitor setup using multi-head settings for each monitor, when I boot, the wallpaper defined for each screen is properly displayed. When I log on, the wallpaper defined for each screen is properly displayed in each workspace. However, when the screensaver kicks in, the lock screen only uses the wallpaper from the (portrait oriented) primary monitor, which doesn't fit too well on the landscape oriented secondary monitor. Never had that problem in 18.04, so I'm guessing the problem is that multi-head considerations were forgotten when the screensaver was separated from the power manager for 20.04. I don't know what package the screensaver is part of. Also, on the 18.04 startup login screen and screensaver lock screens, moving the mouse between monitors causes the login dialog to move to the screen that the mouse cursor is on. This does not occur with the 20.04 screensaver lock screen, though it does occur with the login screens, so that's either an omission or a bug in the screensaver. To reproduce the bug(s)/problems, on a dual monitor system set up so that each monitor displays a different wallpaper when logged on and logged off, and also from each other and in all workspaces, set the screensaver to lock after 5 minutes or less and let it lock with the mouse cursor left on the primary screen and then again with the mouse cursor left on the secondary screen.

[Bug 1896866] [NEW] All directory navigation more than a couple of levels crashes.
Public bug reported: A few weeks ago Thunar started crashing when I tried to navigate any more than 2 or 3 levels from the folder shown at startup. Now I can't even start Thunar from the GUI, and when I start it from a terminal all I get is "Segmentation fault (core dumped)". Nautilus does the same. Dolphin and Krusader don't. Earlier when I started gedit and tried to open a file that required navigating any more than 2 or 3 levels from where the dialog started, there would be delay when I selected the last folder to open and then gedit would crash. Now when I start gedit from the gui, nothing happens; and from a terminal I get the same "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" error. It doesn't matter what program I use, if I try to open something that requires navigating more than 2 or 3 levels from where the open dialog started, there's a delay when I select the last folder to open and then that program crashes with the same error. However, if I navigate to a folder in Krusader and double- click on a .JPG file, Kolourpaint opens with the file loaded; then, if I try to save the file in a different folder, I can. However, double- clicking or using "open with" on a .TXT file does not successfully start gedit, though it will start mousepad...but if I then try to save the text file in a path that requires navigating down a couple of levels, mousepad crashes. Note that all these crashes are registered as such and generate the GUI error "The application [name] has closed unexpectedly. Send a problem report to the developers?", which I do; though I'm never asked anything about what I was doing when the crash occurred. I did find that programs installed with snap didn't have the same problems, but the snap installation isolates them in a way that doesn't allow me to navigate anywhere outside the snap folder. I have done recovery starts of Ubuntu, checked the file system, checked system memory, and found nothing wrong. Firefox and Chromium work find, until I try to save a download in a folder more than 2 or 3 levels deeper from the one the save/save as dialog starts in, or try to load a file more than 2 or 3 levels deeper from the one the open dialog starts in. Navigating up doesn't seem to be a problem, and navigating within shared folders on the machine from the network works fine. If I start Win XP Pro in a VirtualBox VM, navigation into shared folders using the Windows file explorer isn't a problem. If I start Sigil and select open, the selection window appears, nothing happens, and then Sigil crashes. Starting from a terminal tells me that Sigil is generating the same segmentation fault as above. However, if I start Sigil and open a file from the File menu's list of previously opened files, no problem and no problem saving changes...as long as I don't try to save the changes somewhere that requires navigating 2 or 3 levels down. I don't know if this is a linux system bug or a XFCE-4 bug, but it makes the machine pretty frustrating.

[Bug 1666432] Re: Internet drops every few minutes on wired and wireless connection
Perhaps this can help: The symptoms I experience started sometime during the past year after an update (sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt autoremove) are that some indefinite time (usually less than ½ hour) after I log on, the network disconnects without warning or error. Clicking on the up/down arrows of the indicator plugin and selecting the interface reconnects; however, I recently discovered that if, as soon as I log on, I select "Disconnect" and then select the adapter to reconnect, my session will be fine until I log out and back in again. So perhaps the bug is not with network-manager, samba or ifupdown, but with the logon process(es). My version is 18.04 and I'm using LiteDM GTK+. I haven't the faintest idea where to look for a cause that might be related to the logon process(s), but none of the very many "solutions" offered on various web pages I found on the problem have fixed it for me. One other unexpected thing I've noticed is that in editing Ethernet connections (I don't used wireless enough to have noticed a problem), I can't edit (or delete) the one the system creates without first adding another (even if it's the same, e.g., enp2s0, with the same settings) and switching to it; however, after I did that the first time, and deleted the system's entry ("Wired connection 1", I think it was called), at some point the system added another entry, identical in every way to the one I had added, but called "Ifupdown (enp2s0)" and connects to that when I log on, not to the one I created (which I have since deleted, but the original problem still occurs, and disconnecting and reconnecting still prevents the random disconnect). All of this applies to 2 other machines, also running up-to-date xubuntu 18.04, although on one of the other machines, the adapter is enp4s25. It also occurs with xubuntu and xfce sessions. I suspect the difficutly in finding the cause(s) is in part due to the confusing way samba/network settings are stored, with the same setting sometimes stored in different locations, entered via GUI or command line or both, possibly leading to conflicts. I have spent many hours on this problem, and have only the above work- around, not a fix. Even though this problem has been around longer than 18.04, since 18.04, samba has clearly been broken, and until networking is as reliable and as easy to set up as in Windows, (x/l/k)ubuntu will not be suitable for typical home users. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1666432 Title: Internet drops every few minutes on wired and wireless connection To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1666432/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1658921] Re: NetworkManager does not manage wired connection
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1676547 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1676547 I'm posting here instead of the bug at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1676547 because it got me on the path that may have solved the problem (time will tell). My /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf also contained: [keyfile] unmanaged-devices=*,except:type:wifi,except:type:wwan When I cleared it out and rebooted, it was still empty and the problem was still there. At that point, I noticed that when I clicked on the Network Manager applet (↑↓) it displayed the lines: Ethernet Network (gray title) Wired connection 1 Disconnect enp0s25 VPN Connections Enable Networking (checkbox) Connection Information Edit Connections... But the machine has only one ethernet card, so I chose Edit Connections... and changed the connection name to the device name enp0s25. Using ifdown -a worked fine, but ifup -a gave me a long pause followed by: sudo unable to resolve host [hostname]: Resource temporarily unavailable When I then clicked on the Network Manager applet it showed enp0s25 above AND below Disconnect. When I then clicked Disconnect and then clicked enp0s25, it reconnected just fine. If I delete or restore the original /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf, it stops working; the file must be empty. On the machine I'm typing this on (also updated Bionic 64), /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf is not empty, but I don't do file sharing on it. Now that the other machine is working, I find I can access its shared folders on my network without a problem. So this bug probably has more than one cause. It's as if network connection information is being taken from at least 2 different locations, and one or more of them has/have been forgotten but should be gone. I do note that when I click Edit Connections... the connection information does not necessarily agree with what's in /etc/network/interfaces, in particular netmask refuses to keep the value 255.255.255.0 and reverts to 24 (could 24 refer to /24 in 192.168.15.109/24 ?), which is not the netmask /etc/network/interfaces requires for a static IP setting. My problem began with a clean install from a freshly downloaded ISO of Xubuntu 18.04 LTS 64 bit desktop (not server). Networking and Internet worked, but while setting it up for file sharing over the network (as the machine it replaced had done), I eventually lost all network access, and the network manager applet refused to connect, even when it said it "connection established"...before changing to say "disconnected". I previously reported a bug that suddenly disappeared by itself for a few months and that then recently reappeared: after some minutes connected to the Internet, my network connection would suddenly disconnect, and I'd have to reconnect it in the Network Manager applet. So I just made the change to it's name on that machine, and we'll see if that solves the problem or not (it's a pain to reproduce, because it requires rebooting and waiting an unknown amount of time. Getting file sharing in Linux is like finding an Android app: multiple choices to try, only to discover that none (or almost none) does the minimum that is reasonable to expect from it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1658921 Title: NetworkManager does not manage wired connection To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1658921/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1792579] [NEW] Network Disconnecting Intermittantly
Public bug reported: On my machine (OPTIPLEX GX620, Xubuntu 18.04 LTS) my wired (Ethernet) connection disconnects randomly. Everything was fine before the upgrade from Xenial LTS. It's not yet reproducible (by me). There are no error messages associated with it, the indicator plugin doesn't turn grey, and I've noticed no pattern to when it occurs. The only way I know it is has occurred is when something that uses the (Samba) network times out or stops doing anything. If I click the indicator plugin and select "wired connection 1", it reconnects immediately, But at some later time the same thing may happen again; it could be after a few minutes or many hours. This happens on another, the AMD machine I use as a file server, too, so it looks like a bug in Bionic Beaver, not a software package. lsb_release -rd Description:Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Release:18.04 I suppose the bug could have something to do with the compatibility of Samba and 18.04 LTS, because after the upgrade, everything in /etc/fstab that used the credentials option stopped working, but that's part of another bug already reported by others but not yet solved. ** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1792579 Title: Network Disconnecting Intermittantly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1792579/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1713564] [NEW] Repeated problem on login with damaged problem report.
Public bug reported: Sometimes every time I log in to Xubuntu 16.04, sometimes every other time, the first thing I get are 2 dialogs saying there has been a problem and 2 requests for permission to submit a problem report. I always give permission, and after I do, everything seems to work fine. Every time I've ever looked at the details, I find something that says the problem report is damaged and cannot be processed, and refers to an invalid core dump with a warning referencing /tmp/apport_core. This has been going on for over a year, but doesn't seem to be a common problem, since I find only 2 similar bug references. Bugs #1424864 and #1507461 appear to be giving a similar but not identical error message, and the symptoms of neither match mine.

[Bug 1512120] Re: thunar crashes on file renaming
Thought this might help someone who knows Thunar better than I do figure out this bug. When I ran the Xubuntu Thunar test 1512120 on a desktop running XUbuntu 16.04 64 bit on a Dell GX620, not only does Thunar crash, but when Thunar refreshes, it doesn't always show filename changes, and sometimes when Thunar updates, some files don't display (as if the update information was collected while filenames were being changed, instead of after). When I compiled Thunar 1.6.10 and then used the Thunar-1.6.10.patch that I found on line, the crashes stopped, but the other symptoms did not. What might be important is that when I run XUbuntu 16.04 64 bin in VirtualBox on an old MacBook Pro, none of the symptoms occur. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1512120 Title: thunar crashes on file renaming To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunar/+bug/1512120/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1515873] Re: package linux-image-4.2.0-18-generic (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
Note that this bug applies to upgrading, not installing (there's a forcepae work-around for that). Since the machine in question successfully upgraded distributions (using sudo apt-get dist-upgrade) to and runs fine with 15.04, the key to the solution to this bug may lie in answering the question "what change was made from 15.04 to 15.10 that results in the error message and error during installation, and why was it made?" It is not possible for an installer to make correct decisions based on information not available to it; such decisions should be passed to the user (unless there's a reliable way to detect RAM in a machine that is above the addressable range). According to this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PAE?action=show&redirect=EnablingPAE ...PAE "is now a requirement for Ubuntu"; however, as near as I can tell, the only purpose for PAE is to allow addressing "more than 4GB of memory address space". What would keep Ubuntu from working on a non-pae machine with less than 4GB of RAM; what are the real chances that someone will install more than 4GB of RAM in a machine with a CPU that can't address that much; will the BIOS recognize it; will there be enough slots on the main board for the type of modules it's available in; won't the computer's manual specifically state the maximum amount of RAM supported by the main board and CPU; and will someone who doesn't know what this means even try to add RAM him-/herself? The installer should WARN someone installing on what appears to be a non-pae machine that it won't support more than 4GB of RAM. Instead of refusing to install or upgrade based on a pae flag that may not exist or may not be relevant, why not just give a warning if there is no pae flag, e.g.: "Your CPU does not report the ability to address more than 4GB of RAM. Ubuntu must be able to address ALL installed RAM; therefore, only proceed if you are sure that the CPU in this machine can address the amount of RAM installed, and only AFTER you remove unsupported RAM.

Public bug reported: No idea. When I run ubuntu-bug linux, I get the error: The problem cannot be reported: This is not an official Ubuntu package. Please remove any third party package and try again. Since that gives no clue as to what package it's talking about, it could be a Microsoft error message.

I guess since the machine still works, I can purge the kernel packages that won't work and see what problems I have to deal with in the future.

[Bug 540070] Re: wicd connect to wpa2 wireless network bad password
Just distribution upgraded Xubuntu from 14.04 to 14.10 and ended up unable to connect to any wireless network. As above, the error was "bad password", which I knew was not the case. I had already determined that the upgrade included network-manager, which I had previously replaced with wicd because network-manager doesn't provide enough information to help when there are problems connecting wirelessly, and makes life really difficult when using a static IP is necessary. After reading the above, I found nothing in the network-manager settings that simply shut it off completely, so I removed network-manager (sudo apt-get autoremove network-manager), after which wicd 1.7.2.4 connected without a problem. So whatever the cause of this bug, it's still there, and it may not be a wicd bug, but a network-manager bug. When I had the original problem with network-manager, I searched the Internet for best network-managers, and the general consensus was wicd, with which I had previously had little but all good experience, so that's what I installed. On other machines with KDE, I have network- manager installed, but it has been somewhat of a pain in the nether regions. I'm still coming up to speed on linux, and my biggest gripe is that every flavor of linux seems to feel obliged to use a different version of something, even if it's not nearly the best or even much worse. So unless Ubuntu knows what network-manager can do that wicd cannot do that is so great that it offsets the fact that network-manager isn't as friendly or as reliable as wicd, they should be asking themselves just how they hope to benefit in the OS races by continuing to make it part of their desktop packages. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/540070 Title: wicd connect to wpa2 wireless network bad password To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wicd/+bug/540070/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 431199] Re: Incorrect capacity of mounted media.
I'm sorry, but that problem occurred almost 6 months ago on a machine I used while in Germany, which is not available to me here in the U.S. I still have the USB sticks the problem occurred with, and if I get some time, I'll see if I can reproduce the problem on my XUbuntu machine here. However, in the mean time, I've used XUbuntu (and Ubuntu and Mint) enough to be able to say with certainty that Linux isn't nearly at a point where it can compete with Windows XP. Of course, if Microsoft keeps going the way they have with Vista, WIndows 7 and Office 2007, there may be hope for Linux; but historically, programmers seem to be more interested in making things as difficult to understand as possible than in making them as simple (and therefore maintainable and easy to debug) as possible. They also concentrate on the "market" made up of hackers and gamers (who consider computers toys, not tools), instead of the market of users, particularly big business and government. If Microsoft doesn't go back to the Office format that ended with 2003, all their users are going to be forced to become considerably less efficient. That would be a great opportunity for Open Office, if Open Office could do every (useful) thing MS Office can do, but it can't. Also, as long as Linux programmers think the same way Microsoft programmers do, they won't have a chance, because the Microsoft programmers are all pulling together. Linux isn't one OS, it's many versions by programmers making what they think is best without talking to users; and none of the results is free of the fundamental problems of Linux, and none is good enough so all the others become obsolete.

[Bug 386042] Re: package linux-image-2.6.28-13-generic 2.6.28-13.44 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
This problem occured for me on an Intel Pentium III, today during automatic update installation. The installation stopped because I had made changes to my /var/run/grub/menu.lst to eliminate the boot time offer to start: Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-15-generic Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-15-generic (recovery mode) ...and... Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-11-generic Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-11-generic (recovery mode) ...and the package installer wanted to know if it should keep my changes or use the new version. I tried viewing the differences a couple of different ways, and then asked the manager to start a shell so I could look at the situation more carefully. Then I was interrupted, and when I returned after 10 or 15 minutes, the dialog no longer responded and the installer no longer responded. I started a terminal session, found menu.lst, made a backup copy of it, and then went to the terminal window of the installer and entered "exit". That caused the installer to continue to "completion", but resulting in this set of errors: E: linux-image-2.6.28-16-generic: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 E: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-16-generic: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured E: linux-image-generic: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured E: linux-restricted-modules-generic: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured E: linux-generic: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured ...and an incomplete installation. So, something is wrong with the updater. If it stops for input, it doesn't properly wait for that input, and might end up doing something it shouldn't do without the input it stopped for. It'll be interesting to see if I can get the updates properly installed, or at least uninstalled... -- package linux-image-2.6.28-13-generic 2.6.28-13.44 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/386042 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Perhaps it didn't, but I tried it and it not only got Audacious to play CDs, but the fact that I still can't access an audio CD using the file open dialog stronly suggests to me that this particular problem is with the file open dialog.

[Bug 23726] Re: Firefox won't allow changing download folder to nautilus mounted samba share
I don't know how to get this to the right people, but I found this "bug" and the one it supposedly duplicates via the Google search: ubuntu error "Cannot change to folder because it is not local" ...and I believe it is not a Mozilla Firefox bug, but an OS bug. I'm very new to Linux (XUbuntu), and don't know enough about it to know what the problem might be, but here's my story. The first time I had contact with XUbuntu was on an old 500 MHz machine in Germany. XUbuntu was installed for me and I was on my own. With some playing around, I eventually managed to get Listen Media Player to play streams of my PBS radio station in Hampton Roads. When I got home, I installed XUbuntu on an old machine, and was never able to get it to play radio streams. Eventually, in my attempts to get Listen Media Player to work, I tried "upgrading" it with info from the developers' web site, and that was the end of a functioning Listen Media Player. Even completely uninstalling and reinstalling it doesn't work. I never did try playing a CD with Listen Media Player. Next I tried other media players, and was eventually able to get Rhythmbox to do the job, but it wouldn't play CDs. Then I installed Audacious. I never did find information on Listen Media Player, but Audacious wasn't any better in that regard; so I have no idea how to even try to get Audacious to play a radio stream. However, when I click the play button, a selection dialog opens inviting me to select a CD track to play. The DVD or CD drive with an Audio CD in it shows up, but when I select that drive, I get the error message: The folder contents could not be displayed Cannot change to folder because it is not local Note that in this case, the CD was in cdrom0, the DVD drive. After that, when I press the play button, neither the DVD nor the CD drive are visible, and the remote file system app (Gigolo) shows cdrom0 as unmounted, Audio Disk as mounted and no cdrom1. If I then click on the Audio Disk in Gigolo, it disappears. If I physically eject the DVD drive with the Audio Disk in it, it and the other drive shown as mounted disappear. It's as if the 2 CD drives are being confused.

[Bug 24285] Re: ff can't read from an smb share
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 23726 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/23726 I don't know how to get this to the right people, but I found this "bug" and the one it's supposedly a duplicate of via the Google search: ubuntu error "Cannot change to folder because it is not local" ...and I believe it is not a Mozilla Firefox bug, but an OS bug. I'm very new to Linux (XUbuntu), and don't know enough about it to know what the problem might be, but here's my story. The first time I had contact with XUbuntu was on an old 500 MHz machine in Germany. XUbuntu was installed for me and I was on my own. With some playing around, I eventually managed to get Listen Media Player to play streams of my PBS radio station in Hampton Roads. When I got home, I installed XUbuntu on an old machine, and was never able to get it to play radio streams. Eventually, in my attempts to get Listen Media Player to work, I tried "upgrading" it with info from the developers' web site, and that was the end of a functioning Listen Media Player. Even completely uninstalling and reinstalling it doesn't work. I never did try playing a CD with Listen Media Player. Next I tried other media players, and was eventually able to get Rhythmbox to do the job, but it wouldn't play CDs. Then I installed Audacious. I never did find informationon Listen Media Player, but Audacious wasn't any better in that regard; so I have no idea how to even try to get Audacious to play a radio stream. However, when I click the play button, a selection dialog opens inviting me to select a CD track to play. The DVD or CD drive with an Audio CD in it shows up, but when I select that drive, I get the error message: The folder contents could not be displayed Cannot change to folder because it is not local Note that in this case, the CD was in cdrom0, the DVD drive. After that, when I press the play button, neither the DVD nor the CD drive are visible, and the remote file system app (Gigolo) shows cdrom0 as unmounted, Audio Disk as mounted and no cdrom1. If I then click on the Audio Disk in Gigolo, it disappears. If I physically eject the DVD drive with the Audio Disk in it, it and the other drive shown as mounted disappear. It's as if the 2 CD drives are being confused. If I then try to remount cdrom0, I get the following error message: Connecting to "cdrom0" failed. mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so So I tried: dmesg | tail [ 3149.847038] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 41108 [ 3149.847866] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 41652 [ 3149.849654] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 40404 [ 3149.850572] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 41616 [ 3149.855192] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 40368 [ 3149.856506] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 1248 [ 3149.857474] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 2496 [ 3149.857491] UDF-fs: No partition found (1) [ 3149.866829] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 64 [ 3149.866861] isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=sr0, iso_blknum=16, block=16 Don't come back and tell me there's something wrong with the drive or the CD, I have 2 HDDs in this machine, Windows XP is installed on the other, I have no problem starting either OS, and under Windows XP, both the DVD and the CD drive work just fine...also for playing audio CDs.

[Bug 431199] [NEW] Incorrect capacity of mounted media.
Public bug reported: I attached an 8GB memory stick to XUbuntu (German - don't have an English setup to try it on). When I hover the mouse arrow over the desktop icon that appears, I get the following "tooltip": Typ: Entfernbarer Datenträger Einhängepunkt: /media/INTENSO Verfügbarer Speicherplatz: 5,2 GB (3,2 GB insgesamt) [meaning "5.2 GB (3.2 GB combined)"] This last line might say: Verfügbarer Speicherplatz: 5,2 GB (3,2 GB belegt) [meaning "5.2 GB (3.2 GB used)"] ...or... Verfügbarer Speicherplatz: 5,2 GB (8,4 GB insgesamt) [meaning "5.2 GB (8.4 GB combined)"] ...however, I also note that when I view something on the stick in the file manager, the prompt at the bottom of the window says "Free space: 4,2 GB", rather than 5,2... Note that if I attach an almost empty 128 MB SD card and reader, the "tooltip" says: Verfügbarer Speicherplatz: 115,8 MB (120,0 MB insgesamt) [which is more or less correct and agrees with the prompt at the bottom of the file manager window] (So space calculations are not consistently correct, but the translations for the file manager are also incomplete.)
