[Bug 1733557] Re: Login screen showing Authentication Failure Switch to greeter...

2018-08-23 Thread Rick Harris
In reply to #105

Have tested reverting that fix and it just re-introduces the bug
"After locking screen there is no input field to type password for unlock"

Having no input field is worse.

2018-05-22 Thread Rick Harris
It's a known kernel bug that Dell bluetooth is broken in kernels >=4.14,
so sticking with the old kernel that works for now.

Kernel bluetooth bug causes bluez 97-hid2hci.rules udev rule to fail.
systemd-udevd has always consumed 100% whenever a udev rule fails (could be 
argued that's also a bug but at least you become immediately aware there's a 
problem).

Possibly no coincidence that the break was introduced at the same time
kernel tree commits were made to btusb.c wrt. Dell 'features' being
addded.

[Bug 1651735] Re: $ mir_demo_server --help fails with an exception

2017-04-30 Thread Rick Harris
Also occurs on Zesty installations that have been upgraded from Yakkety.

Unity8 fails to launch (classic black screen) and unity8.log shows the error:
"character conversion failed"

This is due to incorrect multiple versions of boost being present on the
system because they aren't removed when upgrading.

Counted 6(six) different boost versions installed in Zesty because of taking 
the upgrade route through multiple Ubuntu versions.
'apt-get remove --auto-remove --purge' does not remove them so looks like a 
genuine dependency resolution problem when upgrading.

Manually removing all the old boost versions works around the problem
and allows Unity8 to work again.

[Bug 1546641] Re: unity-settings-daemon crashed with SIGSEGV in up_exported_daemon_get_lid_is_closed()

2016-05-19 Thread Rick Harris
Many thanks Martin.

Trawling through the linux-usb and distro kernel mailing list archives
shows that the kernel blocking problem has been around for some time and
discussed at length.

What it seems to boil down to is this:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/drivers/usb/core/hub.c#n67

The fact that parameters exist to force or fallback to the old
initialisation scheme indicates the kernel devs. are aware there could
be problems with the way USB devices are initialised, depending on the
USB device.

So whether it be broken/missing libs or bad USB device enumeration
causing upowerd to be either not available or slow to start, it would
seem unity-settings-daemon could at least be improved to be robust
enough not to segfault if upowerd is not present.

In the meantime, I was able to solve the USB device problem to work
around upower.service slow start by adding the kernel commandline
parameters 'usbcore.use_both_schemes=y usbcore.old_scheme_first=y'.

Still a problem in Xenial 16.04. I'm using Intel gfx driver so based on
others using different video drivers (ati, nouveau and now intel) may
indicate the problem lies at least not with the video drivers.

Perhaps it's a problem with Unity's lockscreen?

[Bug 1546641] Re: unity-settings-daemon crashed with SIGSEGV in up_exported_daemon_get_lid_is_closed()

2016-05-03 Thread Rick Harris
One last thing...ice in comment #12 said:
"Some people say it has to do with a ASMedia USB Controller"

Have found that USB enumeration failure can cause a bottleneck in
systemd getting the upower.service unit to finally start.

You'll know if the system is hit with this as it'll be much slower to boot and 
the kernel will spew errors of the type:
kernel: usb 2-1.1: device descriptor read/64, error -110
kernel: usb 2-1-port1: unable to enumerate USB device

Occasionally after several suspend/resumes, I have a USB device
(wireless game controller) that must be unplugged/replugged to stop this
error (simply rebooting does not fix).

Have found on my laptop, if the USB enumeration boots through without
any error then it's quick enough to have systemd start  upower.service
in time before u-s-d is started, otherwise the u-s-d segfault occurs as
above.

Thanks :)

[Bug 1546641] Re: unity-settings-daemon crashed with SIGSEGV in up_exported_daemon_get_lid_is_closed()

2016-05-03 Thread Rick Harris
Looks to be a race condition where the session (and so unity-settings-daemon) 
is started before systemd has finished starting the upower.service unit.
u-s-d tries to query the state of power and segfaults when upowerd hasn't 
finished initialising to be able respond.

>From syslog:
17:14:31 kernel: unity-settings-[1722]: segfault at 0 ip 7fe3799805a9 sp 
7ffec6513af0 error 4 in libupower-glib.so.3.0.1[7fe37996f000+25000]

17:14:50 dbus-daemon[460]: [system] Successfully activated service 
'org.freedesktop.UPower'

Confirmed this by doing the following:
1. Disabling lightdm from autostarting: systemctl disable lightdm

2. Reboot and wait until systemd starts upower.service

3. Start lightdm: systemctl start lightdm

4. u-s-d starts without issue and so default settings and themes are
applied, media keys work, etc.

[Bug 1251915] Re: Dash + zeitgeist does not log use of KDE applications for 'Recently used'

2016-04-02 Thread Rick Harris
Bug still present in Xenial.

Creating symlinks as suggested in comment #2 has the unwanted side
effect of creating duplicate entries for KDE applications in the Search
and Applications lense.

So it would seem the proper fix would instead be for Unity to grab the
path of where the konsole.desktop file resides, and if it is found to be
in /usr/share/applications/kde4, then the desktop filename presented to
zeitgeist should be changed from konsole.desktop to kde4-konsole.desktop

[Bug 1251915] Re: Dash + zeitgeist does not log use of KDE applications for 'Recently used'

2014-06-17 Thread Rick Harris
Still being hit with this bug on Trusty.

Some digging into zeitgeist's source shows that it gets the application info 
from the *.desktop file using glib's GDesktopAppInfo 
https://developer.gnome.org/gio/2.33/gio-Desktop-file-based-GAppInfo.html#g-desktop-app-info-new

Reading the info from the above URL and using konsole.desktop again as
the example, zeitgeist will only find konsole.desktop if it is renamed
kde4-konsole.desktop.

Another solution is to create a symlink named /usr/share/kde4 that
points to /usr/share/applications/kde4 and add /usr/share/kde4 to
XDG_DATA_DIR desktop env. variable at login.

** Description changed:

- Using Saucy 13.10, when using KDE applications launched from the Dash,
- they do not show up as 'Recently used' neither in the Home or
- Applications lenses.
+ Using Saucy 13.10 and Trusty 14.04, when using KDE applications launched
+ from the Dash, they do not show up as 'Recently used' neither in the
+ Home or Applications lenses.
  
  Seems zeitgeist or the information presented to it cannot get the path
  to the KDE application's *.desktop file.
  
  Using 'konsole' as a KDE application example:
  
  ~ $ /usr/libexec/zeitgeist-fts --log-level=DEBUG
  ** (zeitgeist-fts:28799): DEBUG: zeitgeist-fts.vala:106: got insertion 
notification
  ** (zeitgeist-fts:28799): DEBUG: Indexing event with ID: 6382
  ** (zeitgeist-fts:28799): WARNING **: Unable to get info on 
application://konsole.desktop
  
  This happens because 'konsole.desktop' resides in
  /usr/share/applications/kde4/konsole.desktop
  
  If I symlink or copy 'konsole.desktop' to
  /usr/share/applications/konsole.desktop, then everything works as it
  should, zeitgeist index's the event correctly and Konsole shows under
  'Recently used' for Home and Applications lenses.

[Bug 1228765] Re: [FFe] Implement DisplayConfig dbus interface and transition to gnome-desktop 3.10

2014-05-04 Thread Rick Harris
Hey all, I'm not sure if I should be posting to this bug or some other
tracking type bug, or even as a github issue at
https://github.com/darkxst/displayconfig so here goes...correct me if
I'm wrong.

I've been trying to get gnome-3.10 on Trusty using Jackson's packages
for unity-settings-daemon and unity-control-center along with Tim's
displayconfig pulled from his github repo.

Everything is almost there except for the following issues:

1. Clicking 'Apply' in unity-control-center's 'Screen Display' dialog after 
making a change does not present the confirmation dialog messagebox that states 
Do you want to keep these display settings? with the option to 'Revert', 
'Confirm' or 'Cancel'.
As a consequence the timer for this messagebox silently ticks down in the 
background and the changed settings automatically revert to the previous 
setting.
Some source digging reveals this messagebox is part of gnome-shell in 
js/ui/windowManager.js :(

2. In some rare instances, constantly clicking the 'Apply' button does
actually get the setting to finally stick without it timing out, but the
setting is not saved between desktop sessions.

Let me know if I can do anything more to test, or even if this approach
is still being developed as it's been a month since there was any action
on this.

Cheers :)

[Bug 1295851] Re: Input lag after last update

2014-04-17 Thread Rick Harris
Bug is still present here in mir-0.1.8+14.04.20140411-0ubuntu1 so may be
slightly different to bug 1291755 ?

Only other info I can offer is that with 0.1.7 I could Ctrl+Alt+func
to a VT and back into the Xsession and that would work around the bug
for some time (hour or two?) before I would have to do this again.

With 0.1.8 this work around no longer seems to work and I have to
restart the Xsession to get keyboard input to function correctly.

Symptom starts as slow to respond to keyboard input (type a character and takes 
a few seconds for typed character to appear on screen).
Shortly after this first symptom, displayed keyboard input degrades to being 
one character behind (type a character and character does not appear on screen 
until another character is pressed, or mouse is moved).

[Bug 1212821] Re: Unity fails to load on old hardware on Saucy

2014-01-03 Thread Rick Harris
I've been bitten by this also on a new install, exhibiting exactly the
same blank desktop with no icons, side launcher or top panel.

My gfx hardware is an Intel 855GM (not an 865 but is of the same
generation chipset).

The OpenGL failure (Root visual is not a GL visual) and the resulting
compiz opengl plugin failure is due to the intel driver defaulting to
the new 'sna' (Sandybridge) renderer.

This generation of intel gfx cards needs the old 'uxa' renderer and so
needs to be manually set in xorg.conf.d entry like so:

# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf 
Section Device
   Identifier  Intel Graphics 

 
   Driver  intel  

 
   Option  AccelMethod  uxa 

 
EndSection

That should give you a very slow but working software rendered Unity desktop.
It's debatable, but this slow desktop performance is probably unacceptable for 
everyday use.

The card only supports up to OpenGL-1.3 and Unity3D needs OpenGL-1.4+
which is why it falls back to software render.

[Bug 974480] Re: Notification area whitelist is obsolete

2013-11-23 Thread Rick Harris
Hear Hear!
Been using this patch for quite some time now, so big thanks for maintaining 
sanity for the desktop people.

However this previously working functionality is still spiralling in a downward 
direction.
QT applications no longer show up in the systray and I've never had sni-qt work 
at all.

Trying not to re-iterate what has largely already been said here
regarding the amateurish breaking of applications that use the Linux DE
standard systray (including nautilus file copy).

Just like to add that all QT applications that previously ran in the
systray using this patch, now don't show up unfortunately :(

[Bug 1251915] [NEW] Dash + zeitgeist does not log use of KDE applications for 'Recently used'

2013-11-16 Thread Rick Harris
Public bug reported:

Using Saucy 13.10, when using KDE applications launched from the Dash,
they do no show up as 'Recently used' neither in the Home or
Applications lenses.

Seems zeitgeist or the information presented to it cannot get the path
to the KDE application's *.desktop file.

Using 'konsole' as a KDE application example:

~ $ /usr/libexec/zeitgeist-fts --log-level=DEBUG
** (zeitgeist-fts:28799): DEBUG: zeitgeist-fts.vala:106: got insertion 
notification
** (zeitgeist-fts:28799): DEBUG: Indexing event with ID: 6382
** (zeitgeist-fts:28799): WARNING **: Unable to get info on 
application://konsole.desktop

This happens because 'konsole.desktop' resides in
/usr/share/applications/kde4/konsole.desktop

If I symlink or copy 'konsole.desktop' to
/usr/share/applications/konsole.desktop, then everything works as it
should, zeitgeist index's the event correctly and Konsole shows under
'Recently used' for Home and Applications lenses.

** Affects: unity (Ubuntu)
 Importance: Undecided
 Status: New

[Bug 1170483] Re: The file manager (nautilus) handling the Desktop is not being enabled in live session

2013-10-19 Thread Rick Harris
Still present in Saucy gnome-settings-daemon-3.8.5 0ubuntu9.

Related bug here - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1198658

The gnome-settings-daemon patches mentioned above cause nautilus to
segfault which to the user appears as no icons on the desktop.

With those patches disabled, nautilus does not segfault.

[Bug 1170483] Re: The file manager (nautilus) handling the Desktop is not being enabled in live session

2013-09-01 Thread Rick Harris
In reply to Comment #6:
Based on this bug, 13.10 introduces a potential hierachical bug using 
gnome-settings-daemon-3.8.3~raring2-0ubuntu1

The bug manifests itself in 13.10 by exhibiting exactly the same
symptoms as this bug even when  'show-desktop-icons' is enabled for
org.gnome.desktop.background in dconf.

In addition, the bug doesn't occur immediately on desktop session
startup - but after some use, all desktop icons disappear and this last
window minimise freeze bug starts to appear.

Disabling and re-enabling 'show-desktop-icons' dconf entry for
org.gnome.desktop.background mentioned above works around the bug.

Disabling the following Ubuntu patches for gnome-settings-daemon fixes this:
revert_background_dropping.patch
52_sync_background_to_accountsservice.patch
git_revert_remove_automount_helper.patch

But we're still left with the original bug of needing 'show-desktop-
icons' dconf entry for org.gnome.desktop.background enabled.

Feel free to link this bug to any other bugs that share the same
symptom...
