[Bug 1241784] [NEW] File roller creates tmp file on source drive regardless of where the file destination is

2013-10-18 Thread Paul Stimpson
Public bug reported:

Package version 3.4.1-0ubuntu1
Architecture: AMD64

I had a large file-set to roll up into a zip file (a Clonezilla image: A
folder containing 44 files totalling 47GB on a USB drive). I call this
Drive A. I connected a second drive (Drive B) to the machine with
the intent that I would read the data from Drive A and write the zip
file to Drive B in order to avoid head-thrashing on Drive A and maximise
throughput.

I right clicked on the folder on Drive A and clicked Compress... I
used the destination pulldown to indicate I wanted the zip file to be
created on Drive B. I started the compression operation.

File-roller created the .zip.tmp file on Drive A in the same folder as
the object being compressed instead of on Drive B. This caused the drive
head-thrashing I'd been trying to avoid. When the operation was
complete, this file was moved to Drive B. This whole process obviously
took longer than it would have taken to do the compression just on Drive
A. I consider this behaviour sub-optimal.

Please will you modify File-roller's behaviour to create it tmp file on
the destination drive?

Thank you.

I think this may be an nVidia issue. I just got the beta update to
304.48 of the nVidia binary blob and the lockups have suddenly stopped
on my system. The FPS in Second Life has gone up to around 10 (better
than the 0.7 at worst)

[Bug 733374] Re: X freeze, nvidia-current, Ubuntu 11.04 Maverick GeForce 9600GT

2012-10-18 Thread Paul Stimpson
This bug is killing me. It started around 11.04 and is still present in
12.04 for me. I'm running the binary nVidia driver (Machine has a Quadro
FX1600m). Something seems to have changed as recently this has started
dumping my session (Cinnamon 2D) out to login rather than just locking
the machine solid.

It used to be that only the Second Life (SL) viewers were affected by
this (I use the firestorm viewer that can be downloaded from
http://www.phoenixviewer.com). A curiosity is that the screen generally
flashes to black before it crashes and returns with textures from other
windows (like title bars) baked into the 3D environment within Second
Life. When you quit Second Life, it save a copy of your current view as
the last location photo. If I quit before it crashes while the stolen
textures are on the screen, they are saved as part of the photo. This
might have various implications.

Unfortunately, the change isn't all positive as now (since 12.04) the
lockups are happening when using normal desktop apps instead of just
Second Life. This is happening on a daily basis and is becoming very
annoying. I tried installing Fedora 17 on my other HD and it seemed to
run fine without this problem.

Another strangeness which I don't know if it relaed is that since 11.04,
my Second Life frame rate is going down. If I run it in Ubuntu, I get
10 FPS (often 1 FPS) but when I tried Mint Maya Cinnamon I get 25FPS.
In Ubuntu, I tried Unity, Unity 2D, Gnome, XFCE and LXDE with only LXDE
producing vaguely acceptable frame rates.

This makes me ask the question What is it that has changed on Ubuntu
that is common to Unity, Gnome and XFCE but isn't in LXDE?

I got the following dmesg from the lockup I just had:

[28068.719328] NVRM: Xid (:01:00): 6, PE0001 
[28088.780505] ecryptfs_decrypt_page: Error attempting to read lower page; rc = 
[-4]
[28088.780509] ecryptfs_readpage: Error decrypting page; rc = [-4]
[28107.454335] delay: estimated 133, actual 0

I use an encrypted home folder and swap. Could this be somethign stupid
like a bad block in my swap file or home where the SL cache is stored?

Thanks.

[Bug 992488] Re: Since update to kernel 3.2.0-24-generic-pae, system intermittently crashes on shutdown

2012-05-03 Thread Paul Stimpson
I've noticed last evening that the point at which the hang up occurs is
not always the same. It seems to be around the time the screen gets
blanked prior to shutdown and is sometimes before and sometimes after
the drive spins down. If the drive isn't getting spun down, has it
definitely been unmounted at that point or is there potential for data
loss?

[Bug 992488] Re: Since update to kernel 3.2.0-24-generic-pae, system intermittently crashes on shutdown

2012-05-02 Thread Paul Stimpson
Hi Joseph,

Thank you for your help. I feel like I'm really learning something here
:)

I tried 3.3.4, 3.4 RC 4 amd 3.4 RC 5 and didn't get the problem but I'm
reluctant to mark this as fixed upstream...

I've rebooted a couple of times with 3.2.0 during the process and it
isn't misbehaving either. I've not been able to install the nVidia
binary blob with the Additional Drivers tool under 3.4 (the installation
fails) so I've not been able to run my heaviest duty graphical
application (the Firestorm 4.0.1 client for the Second Life virtual
world http://www.phoenixviewer.com).

I've long suspected the nVidia closed source driver has been involved in
most of the crashes I've had. Can you help me with getting the nVidia
driver working with 3.4 so I can test on a level playing field please?

Thanks,
Paul.

[Bug 992488] [NEW] Since update to kernel 3.2.0-24-generic-pae, system intermittently crashes on shutdown

2012-05-01 Thread Paul Stimpson
Public bug reported:

Hi,

On my Dell Precision M6300 laptop running Gnome Classic desktop, the
machine intermittently fails to shut down and hangs (total lock up, CAPS
lock not responsive) with the power still on. The shutdown sequence
aparently proceeds normally then I hear the hard drive park and spin
down and the machine black-screens and locks solid rather than
performing a power off.

Unfortunately, since the drives have spun down, there's nothing recorded
in the logs to indicate what happened. I'm happy to perform any tests
requested and I consider my skill level reasonable but I don't know how
to narrow the cause of this down on my own.

12.04 Beta 2 worked fine. This is a new bahaviour since I removed it,
did a clean install of 12.04 and performed an update. I've had every
release since Intrepid on this machine and I've not seen anything
similar before.

Thanks.

2010-10-18 Thread Paul Stimpson
It just popped into my head that when the partitions were being prepared
it said that sda1 was being formatted. I think what may have happened
here is that the partitioner hasn't noticed that the sda1 and sda2
partitions already existed and called my / and swap partitions sda1 and
sda2, overwriting the entries for the Dell and Windows partitions in the
partition table.

The computer is a Dell Precision M6300 laptop. The drive had the Dell
electronic break the seal partition, a 60GB install of Windows XP SP3
32-bit with the remainder of the 320GB being taken up by a working
Ubuntu Karmic install.

I booted off the Maverick desktop 32-bit CD and selected install. When
I came to the partitioning dialogue I indicated that I wanted to install
Ubuntu alongside other operating system(s). It displayed a 2 partitions
(Karmic and the proposed Maverick install) and stated that there were 3
smaller partitions hidden. This seemed right. I clicked Use whole
partition (not use whole disk) then proceeded.

After the installed finished Mavarick booted fine but the Windows and
Dell partitions were missing and there was no GrUB menu. I repartitioned
the disc manually with fdisk so I could restore my backup and my Windows
partition mounted with files in it so it appears that an incorrect
partition table was written without sda1 and sda2 in it but the area of
the disc wasn't reused.

Fortunately, I had a backup...

[Bug 659379] [NEW] Ubuntu One - SSO signup doesn't give meaningful error for existing accounts

2010-10-12 Thread Paul Stimpson
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubuntuone-client

I just opened the Ubuntu One preferences and tried to create a new SSO.
I'd forgotten I already had an account with that email address. The
account creation process failed (not unreasonably) and I was presented
with the account creation dialogue with a red exclamation mark next to
both email addresses but no explanation was displayed as to the reason
for the rejection.

I was left looking at a screen with no way forward until it occurred to
me to try the using the email address at the login prompt then pressing
the forgotten password link.

I realise there is a security issue here and it's not a good idea to
reveal that an account exists but anyone who knew the platform would
know that a rejection of the email address without explanation was
caused by an already existing account so I think a meaningful error
message would be a good idea here.

Thanks.

[Bug 659388] [NEW] Ubuntu One - displays incorrect captcha on SSO creation failure

2010-10-12 Thread Paul Stimpson
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubuntuone-client

I just made an error when creating an Ubuntu One account by using an
email address that already had an SSO. This caused the account creation
process to fail (not unreasonably) but in doing so I discovered the
following issue:

When I filled in the account creation dialogue a captcha was displayed.
I entered the words I saw and the submitted the form. The captcha was
accepted but the form submission failed due to the email address I was
using already existing. The dialogue was returned to me to correct my
error with the same captcha picture displayed and the captcha field
still filled in with the answer I gave before that was accepted.

I submitted the form again and the submission failed with the reason
given that I had incorrectly completed the captcha even though the same
picture and answer were displayed. The only way to get it accepted was
to hit the captcha refresh button and enter the new words. Clearly
either the wrong captcha graphic was displayed or the correct answer was
rejected.

[Bug 659106] Re: Maverick installer lost Windows partitions

2010-10-12 Thread Paul Stimpson
Update: I recreated the Dell and Windows partitions then restored the
contents from a backup. The disc contained only sda1 and sda2 (values
identical to the fdisk output above) with the remainder of the drive
unallocated. I tried installing again as above.

The disk partitioning app failed to do what I expected. Its only
suggestion was to try to shrink sda2 to fit in a small Maverick install
in the free space in it. It totally ignored the 247GB of contiguous
unallocated space following sda2.

Re: [Bug 22876] Re: There is no way to control which sound device or mixer the keyboard shortcuts use

2006-11-10 Thread Paul Stimpson
Hi,

Jan Mynarik [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Situation: keyboard shortcuts control 'main' mixer, volume applet
controls both 'main' and 'PCM' together; to really change volume while
using headphones, you need to change 'PCM'.
This would work in situations where the headphones are driven off thesame 
soundcard as the main audio but it wouldn't solve the problem I have with my 
USB Headset.

I have a Logitech Premium USB Headset 350 which plugs into a USB port
and appears as a soundcard in its own right. Changing the main mixer PCM
and Master would only change the volume of the built-in sound device on
the computer (which I use for the ringing on my VOIP app) and not the
master channel on the Logitech USB Headset mixer which controls the
volume of the headphones. The headset has switches built into the cord
which tell the computer to change the headset volume or mute its mic.


From my point of view, the perfect solution would be one that spotted that the 
buttons were on the same USB device as one of my soundcards then steered the 
button data towards the correct mixer or that let me define a binding between 
devices and mixers manually. I believe it's possible to use uDev to make sure 
the same USB network card always gets the same interface name regardless of 
which port it's connected to or the order it's plugged in. Could something 
similar be done here?

Thanks,
Paul.

[Bug 66918] Repeated MBR corruption on ICH6 machine

2006-10-19 Thread Paul Stimpson
Public bug reported:

I have an Acer 4100WLMi laptop (spec at http://surrey.lug.org.uk/cgi-
bin/wiki.pl?TravelMate4100WLMi ) I have increased the RAM from thsi spec
to 1.25GB.

I have had 4 incidences of the MBR on my boot drive (hda) ceasing to be
readable (BIOS produces Operating System Not Present error at
bootstrap)

I installed wine (0.9.9-0ubuntu2) then installed DVD Decrypter 3.5.4.0
and DVD Shrink 3.2. I recreated the DOS device for the DVD drive and
selected NT4.0 as Mr.Bass says. I now have 2 problems:

1) Neither DVD Decrypter nor DVD Shrink can see the DVD drive (hdb). I
tried using hdb=ide-scsi but then nothing could see it!

2) This is the bad one... When I go into DVD Decrypter and try the
different IO optons to scan for the DVD drive the MBR of hda gets
trashed (BIOS reports No Operating System Found at bootstrap) and I
have to boot off the an install disc and do a grub-install hda to to
make the drive bootable again. Here's what I know or suspect.

* My machine is an Acer Travelmate 4100WLMi with an Intel ICH6 chipset
* Every time this has occured I have been performing an activity with the 
DVD drive.
* I have had this happen twice in Ubuntu Dapper (once with DVD Decrypter, 
once burning a DVD with nautilus) and twice with MEPIS 6.0 so I would suspect 
that it is related to one of the common Ubuntu components between the distros.
* The DVD drive is hdb so it shares a bus with the HDD
* This never happened with Breezy so it's probably something that changed 
between Breezy and Dapper.
* On boot there is a string of about 9 errors something to do with not 
being able to allocate a region of the PCI bridge (I think the messages were 
that region 7,8,9 could not be allocated from :000:00.0,1,2 but they happen 
before logging starts so never get written in the logs.)
* I'm doing this from a mortal user account so I shouldn't be able to write 
the MBR. I therefore suspect either a kernel or IDE driver bug.


These are the only abnormal entries I found in messages at about the right time 
but I think they're not relevant:

[Bug 59660] Gnome-media Volume Applet controls wrong device when volume control in USB headset is operated

2006-09-09 Thread Paul Stimpson
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-media

Distro: Ubuntu Dapper 6.06
Package: gnome-media 2.14.2-0ubuntu1
Application: Volume Applet 2.14.3 using Gstreamer 0.10

Background: I have a Logitech Premium USB Headset 350
(http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/GB/EN,CRID=103,CONTENTID=10013)

It includes volume and mic mute buttons in the cord. When I click the
volume buttons the Gnome Volume Applet OSD  appears and the bar inside
it reflects the changes I am requesting with the buttons but the headset
volume does not change. Opening the applet reveals that the master
volume on my laptop's ICH6 on-board device is being changed rather than
the volume of the USB headset. If I explicitly set the Logitech device I
can set the volume by dragging the slider inside the Volume Applet but
not with the buttons or the quick volume slider that appears if I click
the applet icon.
