[Bug 496435] Re: upgrades of the grub-pc package can overwrite wrong MBR

2010-04-17 Thread M Pietila
Upgraded from Karmic to Lucid today and am also having the symbol
'grub_puts' not found error described by illbashu; I have the Ubuntu
install on a different drive from sda, so I had to reinstall grub2 for
Karmic also.  I haven't rebooted yet after reinstalling grub2, but I
assume I'll run into the same need-to-keep-fixing-it problem as
illbashu... would definitely be nice to have a permanent fix!

[Bug 350327] Re: vinagre connects but appears that I cannot start anything on remote desktop

2009-06-29 Thread M Pietila
I hadn't tried using vinagre for some time, but I updated with the
latest updates yesterday and tried connecting again (using the same
computers that had not worked before); remote desktop is working great,
and I was able to see and manipulate everything I tried.

Confirmed on two computers with Jaunty, using the nvidia 180 driver.
Didn't see this behavior on the first computer in Intrepid, only after a
new install of Jaunty.  Occurs when using Cedega OR wine.

[Bug 279091] Re: f-spot is launched when clicked on placessome-mounted-partition

2008-11-04 Thread M Pietila
I don't think this should be closed, I just upgraded one of my computers
from Hardy to Intrepid and had this happen.  It's very disconcerting,
and I had not changed any settings.  There appears to be something
broken in the upgrade process.  I'm glad the fix is easy, but it would
be nice if nautilus had the correct default Open With setting to begin
with...

The xorg file fix worked for me - but even better news, I ran all the
updates today and with a clean xorg file (i.e. no entries for any input
devices), my mouse and keyboard now work perfectly!  I love seeing bugs
disappear so quickly...

[Bug 211098] Re: Gateway EV910 gwy232a generates bad EDID

2008-10-07 Thread M Pietila
Update - in Intrepid Ibex (beta), after applying the restricted NVidia
driver through the built-in Ubuntu mechanism, my screen resolution is
working beautifully - I didn't have to do any messing with the xorg file
this time.  Before using the restricted driver, however, it was still
only allowing 800x600 resolution.  Not surprising, since there doesn't
seem to have been any activity on the upstream bug so I don't think
anything has been added to the x server to handle this monitor yet.

[Bug 254840] Re: [intrepid] mouse and keyboard stop working under gdm and gnome

2008-10-05 Thread M Pietila
Fresh install of Beta from 2 days ago... USB keyboard works fine, USB
mouse does not.  In /var/log/messages I see my USB wheel mouse being
detected and set to /class/input/input6.  Restarting Gnome
(/etc/init.d/gdm restart) did not resolve the problem, and I did a full
apt-get update/upgrade/dist-upgrade set and rebooted the entire system
just to check.

Have not tried the xorg.conf fix yet, I also have an nvidia card without
the restricted drivers installed yet so I'm not sure whether I'll run
into the same xorg.conf.failsafe problem as Peter describes above.  hald
is running, I don't know how to check whether gnome  is using any of the
/dev/event/input* devices as someone mentioned above - I'll see if I can
learn that.

Any ideas are appreciated!

[Bug 205093] Re: [Hardy] Screen detection problems with xorg, nvidia and an Acer AL2216W

2008-04-14 Thread M Pietila
I also had the same problem using the nvidia driver through the
Restricted Drivers Manager - I could get 800x600 resolution through nv
(hardly great, but that's a different issue), but once I loaded the
nvidia driver through the Manager, I could only get 640x480.

Did these three steps this weekend:

1.  Turned off the Restricted driver through the interface (i.e. uncheck the 
checkbox) and restarted Linux
2.  Renamed the xorg.conf file I had been using (so I'd start from a clean 
slate with no xorg.conf file)
3.  Installed envyng from the Hardy repository, then used the gui to install 
the latest nvidia driver

That fixed my problem, I'm finally getting great resolution (to anyone
who tries it--remember, you need a full reboot not just an xserver
restart).  I'm also finally able to get both my monitor and my projector
running as clones, I'd spent the past couple of weeks struggling with
that (to get the dual monitors running, I used the Nvidia settings gui
from the System menu).

Would be great if whatever is wrong with the Restricted Drivers Manager
install gets fixed, though, new people trying out Ubuntu aren't going to
figure out to use envyng instead, and even if they do they'll probably
be frustrated at having to download and install something extra just
to get the machine up and running to play with it.  Even if people are
used to installing extra drivers with Windows, they seem to set higher
standards for Linux.

[Bug 211098] [NEW] [hardy] Screen resolution only 640x480

2008-04-02 Thread M Pietila
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg

Running the latest Hardy beta on a desktop with CRT monitor (model
Gateway EV910, edid name gwy232a) with NVidia card.  Used Restricted
Driver Manager to install the nvidia driver and as far as I can tell
it's being used.

Only 320x240 and 640x480 modes are being enabled at startup.  I
attempted to use xrandr to add new modes, but I get only xrandr:
Configure crtc0 failed when I try to actually use any of the new modes
(I used entries from my working Gutsy xorg.conf file as a base to create
the modes).

I know I could probably just copy over the old xorg.conf file from Gutsy
but I thought I should report a bug so maybe this can get fixed and help
others (and me) in the future.

I don't know how to tell if this is a problem with the information
reported by the monitor or with the nvidia driver (maybe it's not
actually active, even though the Restricted Driver Manager says it is?)
Reading the Xorg.0.log leads me to believe the nvidia driver really is
active...

Attaching xorg.conf, Xorg.0.log, output of get-edid | parse-edid, output
of ddcprobe, output of xrandr -q.  Please let me know if any additional
information would be helpful.

Ignore the 1024x768 entry in the xrandr output; I added that myself, but
it won't let me enable it, either through xrandr --output default --mode
[EMAIL PROTECTED], or through the Ubuntu Screen Resolution tool.  The screen
just flickers once, no new entries are added to the Xorg.0.log

The output from running xresprobe leads me to believe this is not a bug

2008-04-02 Thread M Pietila
Great--glad to hear the information was useful.  I went ahead and copied
over my old xorg.conf file from Gutsy to use for now, and that gets me
up and running with a decent resolution.  I'm attaching the file in case
someone else stumbles across this same bug and doesn't have a working
xorg.conf file like I did (obviously, change its name to xorg.conf and
put it in your /etc/X11 directory in place of the existing one if you
choose to use this).
