[Bug 413949] Re: PC freezes during install caused by Dell A920 printer

2012-11-19 Thread Piscium
This is such an old bug, I suggest that it be closed. Also I don't use
that printer anymore, as it is really low quality.

[Bug 453579] Re: in-place corruption of large files *without fsck or reboot* reported with linux 2.6.31-14.46 on ext4

2009-11-08 Thread Piscium
I am running Karmic 9.10 on a old Pentium 4 computer with PATA drives. I
copied a 2.6 GByte file from an ext4 partition to another ext4
partition, then to a ext2, then to the original ext4. No problem. All
files have the same md5.

[Bug 477300] [NEW] libscrollkeeper0 is missing in Karmic, but glade-doc depends on it

2009-11-07 Thread Piscium
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: scrollkeeper

libscrollkeeper0 package is missing in Karmic, but glade-doc depends on
it, so installing glade-doc fails.

libscrollkeeper0 was however available in Jaunty.

[Bug 359392] Re: [i965] X freezes starting on April 3rd

2009-09-10 Thread Piscium
This bug is marked as fixed, however with Ubuntu Karmic Alpha 5, the 3
times I logged in, the screen froze, the first and second times about 2
minutes after login, and the third time about ten minutes after login.
When this happens I have to power off the PC.

I was doing different things when the screen froze, so I do not think it
was the particular action that caused the freeze. I don't know if the
freeze is related to this bug. As someone wrote in the bug description,
there could be different bugs that manifest in the same way (freezing).

Here is my lspci output:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics 
Controller (rev 02)

With respect to Ubuntu 9.04 that I currently use, things are far from
perfect. Watching video streaming is difficult as the image freezes
often, scrolling on Firefox is slow, and most annoying of all is that
once or twice a day the gnome-panel takes up 50% of CPU time, so the
panel freezes. I can often unfreeze it by killing the gnome-panel
process. Note however that the gnome panel freezing is less serious than
the screen freezing that I experience with Karmic Alpha 5.

[Bug 413949] Re: PC freezes during install caused by Dell A920 printer

2009-08-31 Thread Piscium
Jan, Thanks for taking an interest.

OK, I am on Ubuntu 9.04 (which does not have this Gparted/printer
problem) with the printer disconnected, so plugged it in. There were
some messages about looking for driver and so on, I cancelled them. Then
ran dmesg and got this:

[ 2862.488044] usb 3-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2

[ 2865.036260] ppdev0: unregistered pardevice

Then I unplugged the USB cable and rebooted with the Ubuntu Karmic Alpha
4, chose option Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer, then
plugged in the printer USB cable. Again there were some messages about
looking for driver and so on, I cancelled them. Then ran dmesg and got
this:

[  359.572016] usb 3-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
[  359.745096] usb 3-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

0x413C pid 0x5106
[  360.606974] usbcore: registered new interface driver usblp

Then I went on the System menu I ran Gparted. After a while there was a 
dialogue box saying that Sorry, the program system-config-printer.py closed 
unexpectedly. It was the second time this happened to me, but it does not 
happen every time - i. e. it is not consistently reproducible. One could ask 
why is Gparted looking for a printer. That error message offered me the 
possibility to send a report. I said yes. Here it is the new bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/422180

Then I rebooted again to reproduce the issue once more. This time around
however Gparted froze the PC, and I had to power it off. The cursor
would still move but that was it. At the bottom left of the Gparted
window there was a message Scanning all devices, and the progress
about was about a third done. It's strange how Gparted seems to be able
to freeze the window manager.

The moral of the story is that Gparted has frozen my PC as part of
running the Karmic install script, and has also frozen my PC if I call
if from the Karmic live CD.

As I said previously, Gparted in Ubuntu 9.04 works fine on my PC.

2009-08-31 Thread Piscium
Just wanted to add that this bug is not important in the big scheme of
things, as it probably affects a very small number of people.

It is however an unpleasant bug for this reason: when the PC freezes,
one has no idea why it froze. It took a bit of detective work (and luck)
to find out the reason.

2009-08-25 Thread Piscium
** Summary changed:

- ubuntu karmic alpha 4 - possible partition editor bug
+ PC freezes during install caused by Dell A920 printer

** Description changed:

  I downloaded the alpha 4 CD image, checked MD5, burned a CD, and run it.
  
  I did not go far. After choosing language, location, keyboard, it says
  it is starting the partition manager, and that is it. Nothing happens
  after, so I had to press the power button to switch the PC off.
  
  Nothing much special with my PC. It is a 4.5 year old Dell Dimension. It
  has two hard disks, the master with two partitions, Dell Utility, and
  Windows XP. The second disk however, has 12 partitions with a number of
  empty spaces in between. Some partitions have Ubuntu or Kubuntu (ext4),
  others are empty, one is for Windows swapping. Also the partition
  numbers are not in order, for example, after sdb10 comes sdb5. My guess
  is that the partition editor got confused and lost!
  
  Today I installed jaunty for a different test and all went well. So this
  is a karmic bug.
  
  -
  
  Today (17/Aug) I tried again to install alpha 4, and got exactly the
  same error, so this is a repeatable issue (on my PC).
  
  I paid a bit more attention to what happened. After step 4 of the
  installation where I chose the keyboard, a dialogue box appeared, titled
  Starting up the partitioner. Below it said - I believe - scanning
  disks, and a few other things, very quickly. There was a progress bar
  which went fast from 0 to 100%. Then the dialogue box disappeared and
  the PC froze. The  cursor would still move, but clicking on the Quit
  button had no effect. Also tried ^C, ^D, Escape, nothing worked. So I
  had to power off the PC.
  
  It appears that there is a bug on that part of the installer where a
  list of options with respect to partitions is created. The screen was
  never updated to show step 5.
  
  I offer to try again to install alpha 4 if someone takes an interest in
  this bug. I would need instructions on how to enable diagnostics and on
  how to unfreeze the PC without powering it off, in order to save the
  diagnostics somewhere, for example, on the USB drive.
  
  I am attaching below the list of partitions on my PC.
