[Bug 749663] [NEW] Both jackd1 and jackd2 throw xruns constantly

2011-04-03 Thread Richard Green
Public bug reported:

I start jack via qjackctl taking all defaults.  It throws xruns
constantly, at about the rate of 10 per second.  I tried disabling my
wifi, which caused IRQ conflicts with firewire on my 8.04 system, but it
didn't help.  I tried installing jackd1, since my hardware is single-
core, but that also exhibits the same problem.

[Bug 432794] Re: gnome-panel freeze/infinite loop/memory leak

2011-01-20 Thread Richard Green
I'm also experiencing this problem, for about the last month.  It didn't occur 
immediately after dist-upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10, but after a subsequent 
update, and update-manager requested a restart.
for me, gnome-panel locks up immediately upon login, before even drawing itself 
to the desktop.  I login, I get the startup tune, then nothing, just a blank 
desktop.  I can ctrl-alt-f2 to a console, where top shows gnome-panel locking 
up one of my four cores, and memory being eaten.  It starts at approx 350M, but 
within a few days, it's up to 3GB.
  I don't know if this is a gnome-panel function or not, but I can't alt-f2 to 
launch an application, but if I right-click on the desktop, I get a menu which 
includes the option to 'create launcher', so I've used that to launch a 
terminal and the chromium browser, which has allowed me the minimal 
functionality to submit this report.
  I followed a suggestion from an earlier comment, and renamed the following 
directories in my home directory: .gconf. .gconfd, .gnome2, and 
.gnome2_private.  When I logged out and logged in again, they were recreated, 
but the lockup and missing panel continues.

System is an Athlon II X4 635 with 4GB memory, and ATI RS880 [Radeon HD
4200] graphics.  Dual monitor, but only one default panel.  Kernel is
currently 2.6.35-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 2 02:41:37 UTC 2010
x86_64 GNU/Linux

  I have an M6810 running Ubuntustudio 8.04.  The -rt kernel was reportedly 
broken in 8.10, so I was advised not to upgrade.  I'm still waiting to 
hear of others' positive experience with the -rt kernel in 9.04 before I'm 
willing to risk an upgrade.

[Bug 293873] Re: fails to fetch online maps.

2008-11-16 Thread Richard Green
Found the problem.  Ubuntu (and I'm told other Debian derivatives)
installs libgeotiff in a non-standard location, so when compiling under
ubuntu, an override is necessary at the './configure' step:

./configure CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/geotiff"

Reference:
http://www.xastir.org/wiki/index.php/HowTo:Ubuntu_8.10

Secondly, since the 'make install' installs the binaries in a different
location than the ubuntu package, it was necessary to `rm -R ~/.xastir/`
and let xastir rebuild it on its first invocation.

[Bug 293873] Re: fails to fetch online maps.

2008-11-12 Thread Richard Green
Confirmed.  New install of Kubuntu 8.10.  Updated to current on all packages.  
`sudo apt-get install xastir` then `xastir &` launched the program.  After 
configuring my station location, I enabled tigermap.geo, and immediately got 
the error mentioned above in the konsole window from which I launched xastir.
  Libcurl was not pulled in as a dependency by apt as I installed xastir, I 
don't know if it was part of the base distro.  Wget is present, as `which wget` 
from the same konsole which launched xastir returns '/usr/bin/wget'

I have not yet tried recompiling from source.

Somehow, the gnome folks have accomplished a dist-upgrade from within the 
gui, but from my old knowledge of X, the server dies when its initial 
process terminates, so any attempt to restart kdm, which I believe is X's 
'initial process', will cause X to die and all the subordinate 
applications to spill their guts on the floor.
   So if it is indeed possible to upgrade kdm or even X itself while it is 
running, it sems to me somewhat akin to changing the engine while speeding 
down the freeway.  That's clearly above my pay grade.
   So the one-line warning on the web page would be considered a 
'circumvention' rather than a 'resolution', but I still think it would 
save a few people some grief if that were added to the published 
procedure.

Re: [Bug 223226] Re: Upgrade from kubuntu Dapper requires manual intervention and kdm shutdown

2008-10-05 Thread Richard Green
Thank you kko for confirming this bug and parsing the evidence out of the 
log file for easy readibility.

I gave a suggested resolution in one of my first posts: A one-line warning 
in the web page, instructing the user to use the server update process 
from a console TTY, not from an terminal window within KDE.
   It was a DUH! when I encountered it, and realized (too late) that the 
server edition doesn't have a gui, so it would make sense to run the 
server upgrade process from a tty, but I'm impatient, and I'm reading 
instructions on a web page in a graphical browser, so I just open a 
terminal window and start typing as I'm told.  It would save someone else 
the dope-slap if the web page had that one-line reminder.

   So why does it take six months to get a one-line change made to a single 
web page???

Re: [Bug 219685] Re: package update-manager 1:0.81.2 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: SystemError in cache.commit(): E:Couldn't configure pre-depend audacious-plugins for audacious-plugins-ext

2008-05-19 Thread Richard Green
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 221382 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221382

I did `apt-get remove audacious-plugins`, which also forced the removal of 
audacious and ubuntustudio-audio.  I then ran `do-release-upgrade`, which 
completed the upgrade process.  I then did `apt-get install 
ubuntustudio-audio`, which pulled in audacious and about a dozen other 
packages.
   So now I have a functioning hardy system, I think.  My broadcom wifi 
stopped working, so I re-ran the fwcutter script, or actually, the 
restricted-drivers widget prompted me and ran it for me.
   However, on first boot, a message popped up about 'can't load human 
theme', and now I have a plain black wallpaper, which I don't mind since 
I'm an old text terminal kinda guy, anyway.

from my workstation in the garage(Kubuntu feisty using vncviewer), I can log 
in, and get the desktop displayed, but with the first keystroke or mouse click 
in the remote desktop, the vncviewer crashes, and when I re-launch it and log 
in again, I see the KDM login screen, indicating that it crashed the xorg 
server on the Hardy machine.

  /etc/X11/xorg.conf is present, but is a zero-length, empty file.
  /var/log/Xorg.0.log is non-existant, as is anything /X* in that 
directory.

Actually, I think the problem is much deeper than X.  lshw tells me that 
there is no driver claiming the video hardware.  That info comes from 
/proc doesn't it?  And is a kernel thing, right?
   I happened to find it when I wanted to take a peek at KDE4, but if the 
kernel doesn't know what driver to load, and xorg can't even build its own 
config, we're a long way from trying out new eye candy!

[Bug 196858] [NEW] Video not detected Hardy KDE 4

2008-02-28 Thread Richard Green
Public bug reported:

Hardy daily build 20080220 KDE 4.0
Booting liveCD on AMD Duron 1.3G, 256M system with SIS video, the system 
appears to hang before KDM comes up.  Looking closer, I found a shell prompt 
buried within the boot messages, so I decided to investigate.  Neither dmesg 
nor tail /var/log/messages revealed any clues, so I tried startx, and got a 
message that /etc/X11/X did not exist.  I ran lshw, and learned this about my 
video card:
*display UNCLAIMED
   description: VGA compatible controller
   Product: 630/730 PCI/AGP Video Display Adapter

...so it appears that an appropriate driver for my card was not found.

I attempted to run `sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg` which has
cleaned up other hw-detection problems, and I was told that xserver-xorg
is not installed, and no information is available.

Re: [Bug 12637] Re: LCD Brightness on Laptop Always Set Very Low at Boot

2008-02-13 Thread Richard Green
Well, I saw the problem with Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Ubuntustudio x86_64 at 
the 7.10 release, so I don't think it's a desktop issue.  Also, last night 
I managed to boot clumsily without X and gdm, and I also saw the problem 
when there was no X launching, so that kinda confirms it for me that its 
not X.  It might not be the kernel VGA driver, but what else starts up at 
boot, does not depend on X, and could be modifying the display backlight 
level?
   I'm tied up on an intractible DSL problem for a client right now, so I 
can't even think about downloading an Ubuntu hardy alpha CD until later 
tonight...
   And besides, the Kubuntu hardy alpha CD did NOT show the problem, so 
whatever they did to make a 'generic' kernel that works on x86 as well as 
x86_64 either fixed or masked the problem.

[Bug 12637] Re: LCD Brightness on Laptop Always Set Very Low at Boot

2008-02-12 Thread Richard Green
Here's some more info.  I went to system/administration/services, and disabled 
gdm, thinking I'd reboot to a console, just to see if this was a kernel 
problem, or possibly an xorg problem, since it's happening just milliseconds 
before the screen blanks to switch to X.
  Well, that wasn't clean at all!  it kills gdm immediately, which blew away my 
X session, as well as all the apps running, leaving me at a very ugly console 
with a huge font, reminiscent of my old commodore VIC-20.
I managed to reboot, and it did come up without X, but with the same ugly huge 
font, so I only saw about 10 lines of text, and my prompt was somewhere below 
the bottom of the screen, so I was typing blind.  
  ...but the important part is that the screen dimmed, so this is definitely 
NOT an X issue, it's in the kernel.  I also focussed my eyes at the top of the 
screen during the boot, and I was able to see that the [PCI} allocation... 
error that was displayed there came up DIM, just before the screen blanks, so 
the actual sequence is something like this:
'Kernel is alive'
'kernel mapping tables...'
(backlight goes to dim)
'[PCI] allocation'... 


Once I logged in at the console, I ran startx, and was able to get my desktop.  
I again went to system/administration/services and re-enabled gdm, which AGAIN 
took immediate action, which in this case tried to start a second X server, 
which failed once, but eventually succeeded (as :1), leaving me at the gdm 
prompt.  I have no idea which virtual console I was on, but ctrl-alt-f7 got me 
back to the X session.  I probably should file a bug elswhere for this 
usability issue...  Or just go back to school.  In this new age of upstart, how 
do I cleanly do a one-time reboot to a normal console?  On my old redhat or 
suse systems, I always had runlevel 3, but I discovered a while back that in 
ubuntu runlevel 3 is the same as runlevel 5, and now with upstart, I have no 
idea if 'runlevels' even exist anymore, and if they do, how to configure and 
specify them?  System/administration/services certainly has no visible 
'runlevel-like' distinctions, /etc/inittab is gone  grrr...
  There is no 'upstart' directory under /etc.  There is no upstart manpage.  
Where do I look for clues?  `man init` is still there. scroll to the bottom, 
its author is Scott James Remnant.  So he calls the project upstart, but the 
binary is still init, just to confuse us, right?  
  OK, the manpage mentions /etc/event.d.  Go browse...  rc-default seems to 
fall thru to runlevel 2.  Looking at the /etc/rcn.d directories, I find that 
runlevel 1 would not start X, but all others 2 - 5 do.  So I can probably edit 
one of those other directories to create a multiuser without X runlevel, but I 
still don't know how to pass a one-time parm thru grub to select that level.  
More studying to do, and I'm tired.  I'm going to bed now...

[Bug 12637] Re: LCD Brightness on Laptop Always Set Very Low at Boot

2008-02-12 Thread Richard Green
Just booted the Hardy alpha 4 live CD  (Kubuntu amd_64), and the LiveCD session 
booted up normally, without dimming the LCD!
  Since this is a working laptop now, I don't want to do a complete reinstall 
with the hardy alpha.  Is there a way I can install just the kernel package 
from the hardy CD, and have it be a grub option in my normal Gutsy  system? 
(actually ubuntustudio 7.10 w/ kernel 2.6.22-14-rt)
  I tried opening the liveCD in synaptic, but the only linux-image packages it 
finds on the CD appear to be older than the kernel I have installed in Gutsy...
  I notice from the package descriptions in adept that Hardy is using a 
'generic' kernel for both x86 and x86_64, as well as UP and SMP.  The plain x86 
kernel in 7.04 didn't exhibit this problem, so is the problem now fixed, or is 
this 'generic' kernel really an x86  32bit kernel under the covers?

Under Gutsy, the symptoms seem to be:

'Kernel is active' at bottom of screen
'kernel mapping tables...' at bottom of screen
then
[PCI] appears at the top of the screen, and the screen dimms, almost 
simultaneously, I can't really tell which is first.

Re: [Bug 24533] Re: Fail to boot smp kernel

2008-02-10 Thread Richard Green
I had also reported and confirmed this bug earlier.  This weekend, I built 
up a test system (Dual PIII-550 w/ Radeon 7000 video)  I booted it with a 
Hardy Alpha 4 server(already on HDD), then used aptitude to install 
kubuntu-desktop.  I was able to startx, and the KDE desktop came up fine. 
I then launched adept, intending to install the 686 SMP kernel to test 
whether the bug was still there or not, and discovered that hardy doesnt 
have a 686 kernel!  In fact, you've taken the 'generic' concept quite far, 
and are using one kernel for x86 and x86_64, UP and SMP alike.
   I ran uname -a, and found 2.6.24-7-server, and ran lshw and found both 
CPUs detected.
   So I guess the bottom line is this bug has been squashed in Hardy.

  Thank you!

  On my emachines M6810, the 'Kernel  alive' message comes on bright, 
followed by a message beginning 'kernel mapping tables... ending with 
something that might be an address.  THEN, the screen dims.  So you might 
want to insert your debug flags after those messages, not before.

Re: [Bug 12637] Re: LCD Brightness on Laptop Always Set Very Low at Boot

2007-06-07 Thread Richard Green
I don't know if I'm up to the challenge of compiling my own kernels.  I 
haven't done that since about 1.2.x sometime...  And that was just to 
config in a driver.  I'm an old PL/I & COBOL programmer, and quite 'C' 
challenged.

  One item of note: this happens with amd_64 kernels only.  Last week, I 
did an installation of ubuntustudio on this machine, and was pleased to 
discover that the LCD didn't go dim on me.  But then disappointed to 
discover that it installed a 32 bit kernel, and gnome.  So I went back to 
Kubuntu amd_64, then installed the ubuntustudio-audio packages (less one 
that's broken on amd64)  So it may be that some of that vga-init code 
isn't 64-bit clean.
  There's another video bug open on this machine, but that has to do with 
xorg properly detecting the widescreen 1280x800 mode, and is probably 
unrelated to this lower-level vga bug.

[Bug 103719] Re: Won't return from suspend on emachines M6810

2007-04-25 Thread Richard Green
With the feisty release kernel (2.6.20-15) The problem is still there.

As well as an additional problem:  I can hibernate the machine just
once.  After returning from hibernate, the system is in a 'screen
locked' state, which wakes up with a stroke on the touchpad, and I can
unlock the screen and continue working.  However, If I attempt to
hibernate the machine again, it goes dark, into a screenlock state, but
never powers down.

[Bug 103163] Re: Unable to commit changes

2007-04-10 Thread Richard Green
The original problem seems to have been fixed (fail to commit)
with todays' daily build (20070410), the 'version upgrade' problem is still 
there, but different:
the message offering a new version is still there, but the 'next' button is now 
labelled 'version upgrade' and is not grayed out. The message, however, still 
refers to a 'next' button, which now is not there.
When you click on 'version upgrade, it immediately fails with an error 
retrieving the release announcement, and a misleading indication that it might 
be attributable to a bad network connection. (patently false, since I just 
successfully downloaded and installed 8 packages).

  I noticed two other bugs filed this morning addressing this issue as
well

[Bug 103558] Re: Feisty beta ISO testing

2007-04-06 Thread Richard Green
with the 20070405 build, I experienced the same problem, and one additional 
problem:  The CDR came up with DMA support off.
WHen I started k3b, it notified me that DMA was off, but for the next few 
minutes, my system was incredibly unresponsive.  Even the cursor! It took me 
several minutes to move the cursor to a konsole window so I could enable DMA.  
Finally, k3b finished initializing, the drive door opened (I had pressed the 
button immediately after launching k3b), and the cursor became responsive.  
I enabled DMA on hdc, and proceeded to burn the disk.  Again, it quit after the 
burn phase and notified me that the verification job was improperly initialized.

[Bug 103719] Won't return from suspend on emachines M6810

2007-04-06 Thread Richard Green
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20

My AMD_64 laptop, an emachines M6810, refuses to wake up from suspend.  I was 
tracking bug # 74877, but when that was apparently fixed at 2.4.20-14 for the 
HP laptops, and I continue to have the problem, I was asked to open a new one, 
specific to my hardware.
  Suspend appears to work, taking a while, but leaving the machine in a 
mostly-dark state, with the power light flashing slowly.  Pressing any key on 
the keyboard causes the power light to come on steady, but that's the only 
indication, no screen or HDD activity happens.

2007-04-05 Thread Richard Green
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubuntustudio-audio

The package 'supercollider' has been broken on amd_64 for over a year.  Since 
it's listed as a dependency on ubuntustudio-audio, it makes that package 
uninstallable.
  I believe that the supercollider dependency should be removed from 
ubuntustudio-audio until such time as the amd64 build problems are resolved.

Kubuntu amd64 desktop feisty beta daily build 20070404.
Package k3b - trying to burn the 20070405 iso.  Writing successfully completed. 
 Internal error: Verification job improperly initialized.

The 0404 daily build seems to be a regression.  I earlier reported
problems with adept - I can't apply updates or install packages after
installation (Bug #103163)

A week or two ago, there were bugs filed where I could post an overall
'test report' on a given install test, but those seem to have been
closed, at least I can't find them anymore with a search for 'iso
testing'.  Why?  Those should be left open until the final release date.

Binary package hint: adept-manager

Fresh install of Feisty Kubuntu amd64 daily build 20070404.  Ran adept updater, 
which found about 30 packages to update.  However, during the run it spit out a 
message that changes couldn't be committed.  I was not able to determine which 
package was broken.
  I then opened up Adept manager, thinking I'd install one package at a time 
until I found the culprit.  As I opened Adept, it immediately spit out the 
message "You will not be able to change your system settings in any 
way(install, remove, or upgrade software), because another process is using the 
packaging system database"
  I checked ps aux for other adept processes, and found none, so I rebooted, 
thinking that'd clean out any orphans.  However, after the reboot, I attempted 
to open adept, and it immediately spit out the same error

[Bug 102979] Unexpected 'NEXT' button behavior

2007-04-04 Thread Richard Green
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubiquity

INstalling Kubuntu Feisty Beta daily build 20070404, Step 5 of 6.  After
filling out the form uning the keyboard, I tab until the 'Next' button
is hilighted (actually outlined by a dashed box), and hit enter.
Nothing happens.  I am forced to move my hands to the mouse, hover the
cursor over that button, and click the left button.  Then it proceeds
forward...

I saw several other bugs reporting strange behaviour with the next
button, but they all referred to an upstream GTK issue, and had to do
with a mouse click not being noticed if the cursor just happened to be
hovering over a button when a dialog window opens.  There was also a
mention that the kubuntu version of the installer uses libqt, not GTK.

[Bug 88697] Re: dpkg: invalid nice value

2007-03-07 Thread Richard Green
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 68267 ***

I got the error three times:
First, when the adept window just said 'preparing...'
Second, when adept said 'preparing update for x11-common'
and a third time, soon after, when I didn't catch the package name in question.

I also got it when using adept to install a single package 'adept'.
However, when I went to the command line to execute 'apt-get install adept', it 
not only did that, but noticed five packages only partly installed, including 
x11-common, and it successfully finished the job on those.

I guess what needs to be done, is another fresh install, and then an immediate 
'apt-get update; apt-get upgrade' rather than using the GUI for the initial 
update.
I'm well beyond that point now, working on some sound issues, so I won't get a 
chance to do another fresh install until herd 6 comes around.

Re: [Bug 89878] Re: Screen blanks, locks during install of herd 5

2007-03-07 Thread Richard Green
Actually, I wasn't able to get this to repeat.  It occurred on an AMD64 
with 512MB RAM as I was exploring the K menu (not actually opening any 
apps) while ubiquity was doing the initial load.  The system didn't crash 
- just the screen went blank.  I could see the hdd light blinking, so the 
file load was still continuing in the background.  When I stroke the 
touchpad, or press a key, the normal 'unlock screen' dialog opens up.  The 
problem is that there's no password for the 'ubuntu' user, so I didn't 
know how to unlock it again.
   When I started over, and sat on my hands during the load, it worked 
fine, so there's the possibility that I somehow fat-fingered some hotkey 
to lock the screen.
   Is there such a hotkey defined in the X config of the LiveCD?
   If so, is it recoverable?  Since there's no password defined for the 
'ubuntu' user that is active in a liveCD session, how would one unlock the 
screen in that case?

I see someone marked this as a duplicate of #68267.
  WHy would anyone think this is a problem with x11-common?
It seems clear from my experience, and comments on others also marked as dups 
to 68267, that the problem clearly happens when running adept or adept-updater, 
and does not occur if I run apt-get upgrade in a Konsole window.  Wouldn't that 
indicate that the problem is in adept?  Not the package which happens to be in 
the process of being upgraded?

Herd 5 now:
  same problem on initial install.  While researching another problem (#89289), 
I was prompted to run 'dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg'  This re-created

works!

Here's the area of xorg.conf as built by dpkg-reconfigure:

2007-03-05 Thread Richard Green
OK, here's a herd 5 update:
  LiveCD, as well as initial install gave me 1024x768.  xorg.conf is attached.
At a suggestion I read on another (nv, but similar) bug report, I switched to a 
text console, logged in as root, ran dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg, then 
rebooted.  It came up in the proper 1280x800 resolution, and it even detected 
the touchpad.  However, it didn't detect the radeon chip, but rather called it 
a 'generic video card', but that doesn't seem to matter, it's only an 
identifier, the driver and busid values are the same, and it works!
  Then, I saved that xorg.conf by renaming it, and restarted X as you suggested 
to let it do its own detection.  It appears that the resolution is finer than 
1024x768, but I don't think its 1280x800.  X didn't create an xorg.conf, and 
the system settings/monitor&display applet refuses to launch.
  Also, the synaptic touchpad wasn't detected, so I'm back to no Vscroll area.

2007-03-05 Thread Richard Green
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 85979 ***

Fresh install of Feisty herd 5 X86_64
Adept updater tells me there are 115 updates, two packages to remove.
  After downloading, window shows a progress bar labelled 'preparing...' at 0%.
  A second window opens labelled 'Debconf on rtg-laptop' with the message 
'Incorrect nice value; Please enter an integer between -20 and 19', but no 
input box.
'Next' does nothing.  'Cancel' closes the window and the updater appears to 
continue.
  At 5% 'Preparing upgrade of x11-common...', I get the same message window 
again.
  This time, clicking 'cancel' causes the following message window to appear in 
the center of the adept updater window:

"Could not commit changes - Adept Updater.  There was an error
committing changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some
packages or the commit would break packages"

This was followed almost immediately by the appearance of a third 'incorrect 
nice value message window.  I close this window, then click OK in the 'could 
not commit changes' dialog.
  The adept updater window shows 'Update complete', and offers me only a 'Quit' 
option.

Why don't I have a warm fuzzy about this message???

I click 'quit' and the window closes.

I open a Konsole window, and enter 'ps aux | grep adept', and am
presented with three PIDs:  adept-notifier, kio-file, and kio-http, all
in status S.

I issue 'sudo apt-get upgrade' as I did on herd 4, and I am presented with 77 
to upgrade, and 35 not fully installed or removed.  The upgrade proceeds 
without further prompting.
A second upgrade, followed by a dist-upgrade, present no further packages to be 
upgraded or installed.

[Bug 89878] Screen blanks, locks during install of herd 5

2007-03-05 Thread Richard Green
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubiquity

While installing Herd 5 (Kubuntu X86_64), after partitioning, at about the 70% 
mark while installing files, my screen went from the X desktop, to a text 
console (probably pty0, it had the kernel messages on it, with 'Kernel active' 
at the bottom)
  I waited a minute, and when it didn't restore itself, I hit alt-f7 to get 
back to X.  WHat I got was a black screen with a dialog box saying that the 
screen was locked, and I am prompted to enter the password for the 'ubuntu'  
user.
  Hitting enter with the password field blank, or any simple password I guessed 
(password, user, ubuntu, root, toor) simply said 'unlock failed'.

  Looks like its time to reboot and restart the install...  Hope it goes
different.

investigation has shown that my problem was caused by improper detection
of the monitor, not the graphics chipset.

The monitor was detected as a generic LCD:

[Bug 88692] Re: Touchpad not fully functional

2007-03-02 Thread Richard Green
More info:
 initial install mis-identified the touchpad.  This might explain the limited 
functionality.  Snippet from xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier "Configured Mouse"
  Driver "mouse"
  option "CorePointer"
  option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
  option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
  option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
  option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"

I'm on herd 4, AMD_64 with ATI radeon 9600.  While I've messed with the
X config using the system settings GUI, so I can't be absolutely sure,
here is the relevant section of xorg.conf.1, which I think is the
original one from the installation:


Section "InputDevice"

...so it appears that it detected the radeon correctly, but missed it on the 
touchpad and monitor.  Somehow, in my playing, I ended up with this monitor 
definition:

Section "Monitor"
  identifier "Generic Monitor"
  modelname "Custom 1"
  modeline  "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" 25.2 640 656 752 800 480 490 492 525 -vsync 
-hsync
  modeline  "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" 36.0 800 824 896 1024 600 601 603 625 +hsync

  modeline  "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" 65.0 1024 1048 1184 1344 768 771 777 806 -vsync

  gamma 1.0
EndSection

...so I've got a better display now.  The control panel GUI is telling
me its set at 1280x800, but as I look at it, xorg.conf has only 1280x854
defined, so there's some interpolation going on, and I probably could
get a clearer display if I found a modeline that matched properly.

When herd 5 comes out, I'll do a clean install again, and see if the
detection has improved.

Back to the root console
apt-get update;apt-get upgrade; apt-get dist-upgrade' followed by a reboot, and 
now I can use adept again.  I successfully installed the xastir package, as 
well as the 10 dependencies it pulled in.
  SO this was apparently fixed by one of the ~200 packages updated since the 
herd 4 release.

[Bug 88697] going backwards...

2007-02-28 Thread Richard Green
I ran 'apt-get install apt' from a root console.  It upgraded 11 packages, 
including apt-utils, adept-manager, adept-installer, adept-updater, and 
adept-notifier.
  Then I tried another adept run.  'Full upgrade' told me it would upgrade 195 
packages, but when I clicked 'apply changes', the adept window closed 
immediately.
  I tried starting adept again, but no window appears.  ps aux shows 5 PIDs in 
status S or Ss referencing 'adept'.
  Rebooting...
  A window pops up asking for my password.  It wants to restart an active 
adept-manager session.  The adept window opens, and 'ps aux | grep adept' shows 
four pids.
'Full upgrade' indicates install 5, upgrade 194.
'Apply changes' gives the same popup and error message as before.

[Bug 88697] Re: dpkg: invalid nice value

2007-02-28 Thread Richard Green
I keep trying...
  I ran 'apt-get install adept' from a root shell, and it told me that adept 
was already at the current level.  It then went on to tell me that there were 5 
packages not fully installed, and it gave me 5 'setting up...' messages for 
x11-common, libxau6, libxdmcp6, libxcb1, libxcb-xlib0.
I went back to adept, and attempted a 'full upgrade' which presented 5 install, 
205 upgrade.  As it began, I clicked on 'show detail' just before the 'invalid 
nice value' popped up.

The last lines in the 'show details window are:
Preconfiguring packages ...
Use of uninitialized value in join or string at 
/usr/share/perl5/Debconf/DbDriver/Stack.pm line 104,  line 4.
/usr/share/perl5/Debconf/DbDriver/Stack.pm line 104,  line 9.

2007-02-28 Thread Richard Green
Additional info:
 I just ran adept from the K menu, ran 'fetch updates' and learned that adept 
is upgradable.  I requested installation, and again got the same error.
  The popup window is labelled 'Debconf on rtg-laptop', the message requests an 
integer between '-20 and 19', and the active buttons are 'Help', 'Next>', and 
'Cancel'.  Help and Next do nothing, and Cancel aborts the entire installation 
(at 19% complete). A second popup appears, saying 'There was an error 
committing changes.  Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or 
the commit would break packages"
  I'll certainly reinstall from scratch when herd 5 comes out, but in the 
meantime, is there a magic dpkg incantation I can run from the command line to 
force the install without nice'ing it?

[Bug 88697] dpkg: invalid nice value

2007-02-28 Thread Richard Green
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: adept

after installing Kubuntu Herd 4 X86_64  on emachines M6810, I ran adept-updater 
by clicking on the quickstart notification icon next to the clock.
  It presented me with 200+ updates.  Downloading them seemed to go quickly, 
but as they were being installed, I got a pop-up window with the message 'dpkg: 
Invalid nice value.  Enter a value between -19 and +20'  But there is no input 
box, only 'continue' and 'abort' buttons.  'Continue does nothing.  'abort' 
seems to abort the installation of all packages.

I then launched adept from the menu, and selected the package build-
essential.  When I clicked on 'apply changes', it again downloaded them
normally, and gave me the same 'invalid nice value' popup as it began to
install them.

Binary package hint: xorg

Feisty Herd 4 on emachines M6810 (Radeon Mobility 9600). On boot, screen
is very dark.  I must use fn-F8 hotkey to raise backlight brightness in
order to make screen usable.

This is both in 'liveCD mode, and after installation to HD.
