[Bug 946311]

2012-08-29 Thread Nick Coghlan
I think I've hit basically the same problem Oleksij is reporting (blank
eDP) when using the ASUS UX31E with an external HDMI monitor and leaving
it plugged in while booting
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=844985).

Aside from the fact Oleksij uses VGA and I use HDMI, it otherwise seems
to be the same issue.

I ended up finding this bug report because one of the patches attached
to this bug while searching for the "bad panel power sequencing delays,
disabling panel" error message I found in dmesg.


I'm also still seeing the problem Bryce described way back in the original bug 
report: if I use Fn+F8 to disable the internal LCD, it doesn't come back unless 
I do a mode change on the internal monitor. That seems to be a very different 
problem though, as in that case eDP1 still shows up in the xrandr output.

[Bug 551790] Re: lucid update-grub wrong root=UUID=

2011-05-01 Thread Nick Coghlan
After booting into the system manually from the GRUB prompt, setting
"GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true" in /etc/defaults/grub and rerunning
update-grub was enough to get the system booting again on its own.

It turned out the "root" partition OS prober was choosing wasn't an old
one at all, but the "/usr" partition for the current installation (I'd
missed that initially, because I set up this system a couple of years
ago and had forgotten how the partitions were mapped).

[Bug 551790] Re: lucid update-grub wrong root=UUID=

2011-05-01 Thread Nick Coghlan
I suspect this bug (or one very like it) is what just bit me on the
upgrade from Kubuntu 10.10 64-bit to 11.04. It may not be exactly the
same though, since in my case the upgrade didn't get confused by
multiple valid installs - it just plain picked the wrong drive.

Post-install, the reboot brought up a grub prompt with an "ls /" that
listed the contents of an old hard drive I had in the machine with
assorted remnants of a previous install's "/usr" directory. For some
reason, the upgrade process had decided to nominate /dev/sdc1 as the
root of the machine, even though that directory contained no /boot and
no /etc. The *actual* root directory (on /dev/sda1) was ignored.

I'm currently still tinkering to get back to a bootable system - I
suspect missed some references to the incorrect root partition in my
first attempt.

[Bug 688986] Re: --invisible/--autostart/--autoclose do not appear to be working

2010-12-18 Thread Nick Coghlan
Ah, I didn't even notice that - you're right, it is almost certainly the
incorrect profile name that is causing the problem (I was passing in "--
medium" instead of "Medium"). Interesting that it worked at *all* in
that case (even the semi-automated approach).

[Bug 688986] Re: --invisible/--autostart/--autoclose do not appear to be working

2010-12-16 Thread Nick Coghlan
Those are the commands I was trying that didn't work though -
soundkonverter would instead quit almost immediately without actually
doing anything. That's why I reverted to the semi-automated approach of
clicking manually through the GUI buttons - if I didn't, the conversion
never even started (I was using 'ps' as a quick hack to check when the
process was terminating).

Unfortunately, I'm away from the machine where this was happening for
the next couple of weeks - I'll have a chance to dig into again early in
the new year.

[Bug 688986] Re: --invisible/--autostart/--autoclose do not appear to be working

2010-12-13 Thread Nick Coghlan
Ah, true, I didn't explain that very well.

The way I manage my music is to keep the master copies as FLAC audio (so
I should never need to rip the CDs again, even as the popular lossy
formats change), and then transcode to the lossy format du jour for use
on my current mobile device (at present, this means MP3).

Previously, after ripping new CDs, I would go find the new FLAC files,
add them manually to SoundKonverter and generate the MP3 versions. This
let me keep the files in separate directories, with Amarok set to only
look at the FLAC files, while making it easy for me to grab the smaller
lossy files and drop them onto my phone.

This was actually fairly tedious (since I tend to go through phases of
not buying music at all, and then buying a whole lot at once), so I
decided to script the transcoding process in Python (walk the
directories, figure out which MP3 files were missing, then use the
SoundKonverter command line interface to generate them).

This all worked like a charm *except* that I couldn't get any of the
three options listed in the issue title to behave themselves. The
relevant Python subprocess command I was using to actually invoke
SoundKonverter is as follows ('--autoclose' is deliberately commented
out, since it didn't work):

  command = ['soundkonverter', '--autostart',# '--autoclose',
'--format', 'mp3',
'--profile', '--medium',
'--output', dest_dir]
  print(command)
  command.extend(song.filepath for song in album_to_convert.songs)
  subprocess.call(command)

The paths in dest_dir and the song.filepath attributes were all absolute
paths.

You can see the whole thing here, with the actual invocation of SoundKonverter 
being right at the end (it isn't pretty though - this is the result of one late 
night hacking session and is tailored specifically to a bunch of quirks in my 
own music collection):

[Bug 688986] Re: --invisible/--autostart/--autoclose do not appear to be working

2010-12-13 Thread Nick Coghlan
The actual command was doing the right thing, so the other arguments
were definitely ok (and *thank you* for the tool - even the semi-
automated setup I was able to get working was orders of magnitude better
than manually finding and selecting the new files that needed
converting).

I didn't really spend much time experimenting with just "--autostart" on
its own, so it is possible there was something else wrong with the
command line I passed in that time (although, the operation did work - I
just needed to press OK and Start to get it going).

Good to know I wasn't imagining the misbehaviour in the
--autoclose/--invisible case, though :)

[Bug 688986] [NEW] --invisible/--autostart/--autoclose do not appear to be working

2010-12-11 Thread Nick Coghlan
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: soundkonverter

I am attempting to invoke soundkonverter from a Python script, but am
not having any luck with the command line options for running without
someone sitting at the computer to operate the GUI.

If I specify just "--autostart", the program behaves the same as if I
had omitted the argument (i.e. GUI opens, waiting for me to press "OK"
on the "File Add" dialog).

However, if I specify both "--autostart" and "--autoclose", or else
specify "--invisible", then the application closes almost immediately
without actually doing any file conversions.

All I need to do in the GUI is click "OK" and then "Start" (and then the
close button at the end) to get the result I want, so I know the rest of
the command line arguments are doing the right thing. It is only these
three that are misbehaving for me.

Package info (I am using Kubuntu 10.10):

soundkonverter:
  Installed: 0.9.90-1

[Bug 531208] Re: Need way to insert arbitrary unicode characters in Kubuntu

2010-09-17 Thread Nick Coghlan
I'd like to add my support for this issue. Trying to do unicode testing
for Python 3 core development on Kubuntu is currently very annoying
because it is so inconvenient to enter arbitrary unicode characters.

Canonical are fond of saying that Kubuntu is just as valued as Ubuntu,
it would be nice if that extended to providing proper support for entry
of arbitrary Unicode characters :)

[Bug 264177] Re: The Hardware Device Manager is too limited

2010-05-11 Thread Nick Coghlan
I just ran across a similar problem (in Kubuntu 9.10 in my case, where I
can't find a graphical hardware manager *at all*) and found a handy
forum post regarding the "sudo lshw -html > hwdetails.html" workaround
(http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3102377.0).

However, it would be nice to have something at least comparable to the
windows hardware manager here, and preferably even better as the
original poster suggests - a system info GUI that provided a collapsible
tree view containing all the details reported by lshw, with an optional
internet lookup component that retrieves additional details.

[Bug 144398] Re: Can not set any hotkey using XF86Mail

2007-10-24 Thread Nick Coghlan
The multimedia hotkey does appear to be respecting the mail setting (it
opens Thunderbird for me), but it opens a new mail window instead of the
normal mail reading window, just like the original problem reported for
KMail.

I'm now using F4 to launch it instead, but given that the same
keyboard's multimedia buttons worked fine in Feisty it's a somewhat
irritating regression.

This actually looks like a problem on the server end - with the sources

And it only affects this package - if it was a problem with the server
getting hammered, I would expect it to happen on the other repositories
as well.

[Bug 52670] Re: Kubuntu setting default components don't affect gnome/gtk apps

2006-12-22 Thread Nick Coghlan
>From an end-user POV, this definitely lands in the bug category (it just
bit me today when I finally migrated my main email & RSS PC over to Edgy
from XP - blog links in Thunderbird's RSS reader insisted on opening in
Konqueror instead of in Firefox, even though I had already changed my
browser preference. This bug report was the first hit on a Google search
for 'thunderbird konqueror').

I like Yuriy's solution: point x-www-browser at 'kfmclient openURL
' as part of the default Kubuntu install. That should get the
normal situation ('I don't care if it's a GTK or Qt app, I just want it
to do what I want') right, and power users that want to use both Gnome &
KDE and have them behave differently are still free to go in and change
it.
