[Bug 812554] Re: Firefox 5 for Ubuntu 1.0 issues undefined command to printer; page setup reverts to Any Printer for Portable Documents

2012-01-23 Thread Stanley Sokolow
I still get the same error, even on Firefox 9.0.1, but no problem
printing from Google Chrome (which prints to a pdf file and then prints
the pdf).  No problem printing from any other program on my Ubuntu
11.04.   My Brother HL-5250DN usually prints the first page from Firefox
ok, but any subsequent printing gives error:

ERROR NAME;
   undefined
COMMAND;
   Q
OPERAND STACK;

[Bug 813870] Re: Seamonkey blows when I try to display an email from Inbox at Gmail.com.

2011-07-20 Thread Stanley Sokolow
I changed status on my bug to Invalid because it's not a firefox(ubuntu)
bug and I can't report it as a Seamonkey bug.   Seamonkey is not a
Canonical supported package.   I'll report elsewhere.  Too bad that
Launchpad won't let me delete the bug even though I posted it in error.

Oops.   I meant to say 11.04 (not 10.04) in comment #2.  Can't edit it.
That's a deficiency of Launchpad.   The owner of a comment should be
able to edit it.  Likewise with the reporter of a bug, should be able to

Hey, guys.   There's a package name in the database for every Firefox
release, but not for Firefox-5.0, which is the current default version
on Ubuntu 10.04.   So, I can't say it Affects firefox-5.0, but that's
the case.  This bug affects 5.0 but not the prior releases.

[Bug 812914] [NEW] Firefox 5 wrongly displays some pages too tall with large blank area between top text and bottom text

2011-07-19 Thread Stanley Sokolow
Public bug reported:

Sometimes Firefox 5 renders pages as extremely tall pages with large
whitespace gap between top content and the rest of the content, which in
contrast Chromium displays correctly.   Here's an example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Cruz,_California .   See screenshot
submitted below, showing Chromium on left and Firefox 5 on right
displaying same URL top of page.   Scrolling down the Firefox page will
eventually reach the missing content, but only after a very large amount
of blank space.  Firefox version is up to date:  5.0+build1+nobinonly-
0ubuntu0.11.04.2 .

[Bug 812554] [NEW] Firefox 5 for Ubuntu 1.0 issues undefined command to printer; page setup reverts to Any Printer for Portable Documents

2011-07-18 Thread Stanley Sokolow
Public bug reported:

Since upgrading to Firefox 5, on Ubuntu 11.04, I can't print from
Firefox to my networked printer.  I get an error printout from the
printer saying: "ERROR NAME: undefined  COMMAND: Q  OPERAND STACK: "
instead of the document printout.   Looking at the Page Setup dialog in
Firefox 5, I see that it is set for printing to a portable format called
"Any Printer" rather than set to my default printer which is a Brother
HL-4250DN on the LAN ethernet.   Trying to change the printer by pulling
down the list in that diaglog and selecting the Brother does not
maintain the setting after I click "Apply".  When I look after applying
and closing the dialog and reopening, it has reverted back to Any
Printer, not the Brother.   I think this is why the print command from
Firefox sends faulty format data to my printer.  It's not the printer
driver's fault.  The same printer works fine on other programs that
print, such as LibreOffice, the document viewer for pdf, and Chromium
for web sites.   It's something wrong in Firefox that won't hold the
printer selected in Page Setup.  This same hardware used to work on
earlier Firefox 3.x.x and 4.x betas. Since  I upgraded (by clean
installation) to Ubuntu 11.04, I can't print from Firefox 5.  Version of
Firefox is latest:  5.0+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.11.04.2.  Screenprint
of dialog is attached.

[Bug 511379] Re: Jockey fails to install Broadcom STA wireless driver (BCM4311)

2011-05-12 Thread Stanley Sokolow
I went to Synaptic from the System Settings dialog, searched for bcmwl.
It found the kernel source for the Broadcom.  Then I marked that source
file for reinstallation, applied, and after it finished reinstalling, I
rebooted.  The driver now works.  (I may have had to activate it first,
don't remember, but if it isn't working, then install the driver either
from system settings or by clicking on the icon when the top panel
displays the restricted drivers icon.)  I don't understand why re-
installation of the source works from Synaptic, but the initial
activation didn't work.   It just does.

[Bug 511379] Re: Jockey fails to install Broadcom STA wireless driver (BCM4311)

2011-05-12 Thread Stanley Sokolow
I reinstalled 11.04 from the live DVD, without connecting to the
Internet, thinking that the proprietary Broadcom STA driver would
install from the DVD.  But that didn't help.   When I rebooted after
installation, and tried to activate the proprietary driver, the driver
installer said that the drivers were not installed and insisted that I
connect to the Internet, and after I plugged in, it downloaded the
driver profiles and found the Broadcom driver, but got the same error.
If there's a way to install the driver that is on the CD and DVD, that
would be a work-around until the driver repository is fixed.   I don't
know how to force that installation, however.

Any suggestions?

2011-05-11 Thread Stanley Sokolow
Same problem on Ubuntu 11.04.  From the desktop live CD running to try
it out, the system recognizes that it needs the Broadcom STA driver and
installs it from the CD, with no Ethernet connection plugged in.  But
after installing the OS onto the hard drive (with the Ethernet
connection that it insisted upon before starting installation), the
system gives the "blacklisted" error when it tries to install the wifi
driver after reboot.  I'm writing this bug report from that computer
with the live CD running and the Broadcom proprietary driver installed,
so the driver on the CD is definitely ok.The repository where the
actual installed hard-drive system looks must have a bad version of the
driver, perhaps a regression to a prior version by mistake.

[Bug 27541] Re: Touchpad should block while typing

2010-10-12 Thread Stanley Sokolow
This is still a problem in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.   There is a setting in
menu System > Preferences > Mouse > Touchpad that claims to disable
touchpad clicks while typing.   However, this is implemented in gnome-
settings-daemon poorly.   In that daemon, in function
set_disable_w_typing, the settings manager spawns syndaemon with a
parameter "-i 0.5", meaning to set the delay after a keypress to one-
half second (500 ms).  During that delay after a keypress, the touchpad
is temporarily ignored.   If you read the man page for syndaemon, you'll
see that the default delay interval is 2 seconds.   500ms is too short.
In effect, whether or not the user checks the setting in preferences,
the touchpad is not ignored while typing.   I've had to temporarily
disable the touchpad completely when I'm doing a lot of typing to avoid
accidental chaos when the heel of a hand brushes against the touchpad
during typing.

To work around this too-short delay, I killed syndaemon and re-spawned
it from the terminal with a 2 second delay "-i 2" parameter.   This so
far seems to be working fine, as intended. So the right fix would be
to change line #511 in the gnome-settings-manager
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/tree/plugins/mouse
/gsd-mouse-manager.c?id=46cfbb45bac09fd86f13a1995a4b4b2742b39c25#n498 .
The parameter "0.5" should be "2" or you could remove the -i parameter
and it's argument completely, allowing the default built into syndaemon
to take effect.   Even better, add a slider in the mouse preferences
touchpad tab to let the user choose the delay that works best for
him/her.

Meanwhile, I'm going to try adding some shell script commands in my rc.local 
file to kill syndaemon and run it in daemon mode with a better interval.  This 
is what I tried in the terminal:
kill `ps -C syndaemon -o pid=`
syndaemon -d -i 2 -k

I'm not sure why the -k parameter is important, but it's in the gnome-
settings-daemon code already, so I'll just put it in my script, too.
The kill command fetches the process id number using the ps command,
then kills that process.   Then the syndaemon command re-spawns.   I'm
going to try this until an update to gnome-settings-daemon fixes this
bug.

Please, someone, be sure that the maintainer for gnome-settings-manager
gets a copy of this comment.

[Bug 575492] Re: Intel 5100 AGN wireless connection bug

2010-08-24 Thread Stanley Sokolow
I have an ASUS X83VB-X2 notebook, which has the Intel 5100 AGN wifi
adapter built-in.   Ubuntu 10.04 live CD runs but when it tries to
connect to my wireless router, the computer hangs and I have to reboot
with 4-second power-off.   Ctrl-Alt-Bksp and Ctrl-Alt-Del don't even
interrupt the hang.   I haven't gone further with this bug.   My router
works fine with 10.04 on a different computer with a different wifi
adapter, and my ASUS works fine wirelessly on Vista-64.   I don't have

Ooops, I take it all back.   The computer that I thought was running the

knows what bugs lurked in there waiting for me to stumble over them with
this update.   Disregard my prior comment #23.Anyway, the system is

[Bug 185677] Re: package mono-gac 1.2.6+dfsg-5ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade:

2009-11-02 Thread Stanley Sokolow
I just had the same bug appear when I was updating an 8.04 LTS computer
that has not been used for about 6 months or more.   The Update Manager
reported that there were over 500 updates to do, so I let it rip.
First, it said it couldn't do a full upgrade, just a partial upgrade (I
just wanted it to do what it could do, so that's ok).   Then in
installation phase, I got the series of errors mentioned above, dealing
with mono-gac, mono-addins0.2-cil, tomboy, fspot, and the final coup
saying that the system is in an indeterminate state or something like
that and it may not run.   I rebooted and am sending this report just to
show that whatever fix was thought to have solved the problem, didn't
fix for me.   My installation was not from a beta, but rather from the
final 8.04LTS release.   So much for long term reliability.I'm glad
this was not a production computer, just one I use from time to time.  I
haven't done anything to the packages that were downloaded from standard
repositories.  I don't even use Mono.  ... Moving on to a clean 9.10
installation, until the next LTS comes out, and then I'll do another
clean re-installation.If I were an IT professional with a customer
having this problem, I'd be kicking myself for going forward with Ubuntu
8.04 LTS at this point.   Hopefully, anyone in that position can clean
up the mess by removing and reinstalling affected programs, if they can
be determined.   The big question is, why is the update still failing
after all these months?   One would hope that when status is "Fix
Released", it stays fixed.

[Bug 35638] Re: Printer is not detected properly over USB

2008-03-13 Thread Stanley Sokolow
Whoa!  I respectfully object that declaring this bug as invalid just to
resolve it is not a responsible way to treat Ubuntu bugs.   I am one of
the other people who "really saw this problem" and reported it.   I
haven't been participating in this bug thread for quite a while because
I got around the bug by using the parallel port instead of the buggy USB
interface, but I've been watching and hoping for a bug fix.   My printer
is a Brother HL-1440.   I have several.   They all do the same thing.
I recently bought a newer Brother model HL-5250.   I've been too busy to
install Hardy alphas since alpha-3, but when beta is released, I plan to
install the beta and re-test all of the bugs I reported which are still
unresolved, including this one.   I recall seeing other bug reports
which are almost duplicates of this bug, so I'm sure that other people
had the problem and either gave up on Ubuntu or used a different printer
or port.

I see that a new Brother driver is targeted for inclusion in the beta
release.   That should be a good time to re-visit this bug.   As the
famous movie line from Arnold goes, "I'll be bock."  Please keep this
bug open.

2008-02-06 Thread Stanley Sokolow
I did another test.   I previously had installed Mozilla Seamonkey.   I
now set Seamonkey as the preferred browser (System > Preferences >
Preferred Applications) and re-booted.  (Just logging out and in again
didn't change the default behavior of Nautilus when I clicked on an html
file; but after re-booting, Seamonkey launches for html files.)   When I
next did the same Evolution > Help > Report a Problem, apport then
behaved correctly by opening Seamonkey's browser after apport finished
uploading the files.   So, this apparently confirms that the problem is
in Firefox 2.0.0.10, not Evolution nor apport.   I see that the Firefox
web site now has a version 2.0.0.11 for Linux in tarball, but it's not
in the Ubuntu repository yet.   This may be a good time to get .11 into
the repository as an update, unless it has its own show-stopper bugs.
The Ubuntu repository does contain an alpha of Firefox 3.0 for Linux.
I may try that version to see if the bug has been eliminated in 3.0 yet.

Until then, the workaround is Seamonkey.   Setting Seamonkey as the
default browser does not interfere with normal use of Firefox when
launched manually.

2008-02-06 Thread Stanley Sokolow
The first time I ran the ubuntu-bug command, the apport window opened
and it collected info, but it closed, and then nothing. I don't recall
whether it also uploaded files.  I ran it again and this time it
collected, uploaded, and opened a Firefox window to report the bug in
Launchpad.  I went further along with the bug report, which seemed to
work normally, but I closed Firefox before actually submitting a bogus
report.   Then I ran ubuntu-bug  a third time.  Here's the terminal
output:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ubuntu-bug -p evolution
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ubuntu-bug -p evolution
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ The program 'firefox-bin' received an X Window System 
error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 273 error_code 3 request_code 20 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Since the behavior was inconsistent and sine the X error message above
explains that error reports are asynchronous, maybe this bug is a race

[Bug 187865] Re: [Hardy 8.04 i386 alpha daily 20080131.2] apport 0.101 does not open Firefox after collecting crash data.

2008-02-05 Thread Stanley Sokolow
gconftool says "firefox %s" and the firefox command launches Firefox to URL 
requested (www.ubuntu.com).
When I go into Evolution > Help > Report a Problem, apport comes up and 
collects information then uploads information then closes, but no launch of 
Firefox is made to let the user complete the report.  This should be easy to 
try, without waiting for a bug to catch. The version of apport and of 
apport-gtk are both 0.101, which are the latest available versions. Firefox has 
been working normally on this system.  I'm running the 1/31/08 daily build, 
updated a few hours ago with all available updates.

2008-02-05 Thread Stanley Sokolow
I tried another test case:  While Firefox is open, I initiated a bug
report within Firefox:  Help > Report a Problem.   Again, apport
launched, said it was collecting information, then said it was
uploading, but when the upload window closed, no new tab nor new window
of Firefox opened to complete the bug report.  I waited, but nothing.

2008-01-31 Thread Stanley Sokolow
Jerry,

I installed 20080131.2 (the second updated rebuild after 20080131).   
The manifest for that build shows
jockey-common 0.1~r139
jockey-gtk 0.1~r139
and indeed when I ran it and installed it, at first jockey blew.   Then 
I ran the bunch of updates that update manager (on top panel) told me 
were available.   These updates included the most recent release, later 
than ~r139, of jockey.   That fixed the problem.   Synaptic will 
probably report the new release available if you reload the repository 
data.   Just run a system update and it probably will fix your problem, too.

[Bug 187865] [NEW] [Hardy 8.04 i386 alpha daily 20080131.2] apport does not open Firefox after collecting crash data

2008-01-31 Thread Stanley Sokolow
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: apport

Running today's latest daily build with latest updates at this time.
apport version is 0.101.  When opening Evolution, it crashed.   Apport
asked me for permission to report the crash, which I gave.  It collected
data and the apport window closed.   Usually in the past, a Firefox
window would launch into a new bug report on Launchpad.   This time it
did not do anything after apport closed.   I launched Evolution again.
It crashed again.  When apport collected info, I opened the terminal
frame within apport window to see the contents of the report data, but I
was unable to copy for pasting into a manually created bug report.
(apport would not highlight a selection.)   Tried to launch Evolution a
third time, to write down the crash data.   After clicking the Evolution
icon on top panel, system monitor showed some activity going on and the
busy cursor turned about 5 seconds, then activity ceased.  System seemed
to have ignored the crash silently.

Re: [Bug 177141] Re: [Hardy] Jockey not installed by default

2008-01-31 Thread Stanley Sokolow
I don't know why the Launchpad bug report was set as private.  I have 
un-checked that box so it is public now.  In the data automatically 
collected by apport-crash is a python traceback.   It shows that 
jockey-gtk has an undefined global name "time".

I see that the current daily build (20080131.2) has the same version of 
Jockey-gtk (0.1~r139) as the one I tried in the 29Jan2008 daily, which 
crashed.  So I don't expect any better results, but I'm downloading the 
current daily to try it anyway.  I'll update this report with the outcome.

2008-01-30 Thread Stanley Sokolow
Jokey-gtk crashes.  See bug #187355.   Still there is no restricted
manager of any sort installed on LiveCD nor by default onto hard drive
installation.   Manual installation of jockey requires technical
knowledge that a new user should not have to know in order to try out
visual effects of compiz.   Therefore, this is still a bug in Ubuntu
which should continue to have high importance for a fix as soon as
possible.  "jockey-gtk" and jockey-common should be included in the
manifest.

It would be far better to delay alpha-4 a little in order to fix this bug so 
the alpha-4 installations actually produce a system that boots into the kernel, 
rather than pushing out an alpha-4 release that requires a lot of manual 
editing to work around this bug.  I would say that this bug is a show-stopper 
for alpha-4.

[Bug 186412] Re: update-grub does not write anything

2008-01-27 Thread Stanley Sokolow
See also bug #186246 which reports that menu.lst in recent Ubuntu i386
desktops installed from daily builds of LiveCD do not have the necessary
kernel boot information, just like the "empty" menu.lst file attached to
this bug.  Bug #186246 may be another consequence of this faulty update-
grub command.

[Bug 186256] [NEW] [Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy i386 desktop alpha-3+ daily-build] Guided entire disk installation fails when installing onto existing Ubuntu system that should be over-written.

2008-01-26 Thread Stanley Sokolow
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Daily-builds 24 Jan 2008, 25 Jan 2008, and 26 Jan 2008 all fail
installation from Live CD when using the Guided Entire Disk option.
These installations were being made onto a hard drive that has an older
version of Ubuntu installed on the partition #1 ext3, and the only other
partition is the swap partition.   During installation, the error
message comes up:  "Failed to create a file system.   The ext3 file
system creation in partition #1 of SCSI1(0,0,0)(sda) failed."   When I
tried installation again (without rebooting the CD), the same error
occurred.   Then I chose the manual partition method.   I used the
existing partitions, assigned mount point / to the ext3 partition, asked
for formatting of that partition, and the system then installed.
(However, I then found another error that was a show-stopper.  See bug
report #186246. )

2008-01-19 Thread Stanley Sokolow
I have the same problem on Hardy 8.04 Alpha-3.   Alpha-3 has been
working until now.  The Alpha-3 system has been broken by some new
update, as described above.  I get the same error message about
"internal error" saying "Failed to initialize HAL!"  The logout button
is not working and network icon indicates error (!).   I can do ctrl-
alt-backspace to kill x-server, which returns to login screen, from
which I can shutdown.   This is on a desktop i386 (Celeron) system, so
it's not limited to notebook computers.  (Dov-El's Dell Inspiron 1501 is
a notebook.)   Returning the system to Gutsy 7.10 by swapping out the
primary hard drive, I can boot 7.10 and it runs fine.

[Bug 181923] Re: [Hardy 8.04 Alpha-3 Live-CD] Update-manager icon reports "unable to communicate with backend".

2008-01-15 Thread Stanley Sokolow
I agree.  As my report implies, I was physically connected to my LAN,
which has a router connected to the Internet.   When I manually ran the
update manager, it did connect with no trouble.  I suppose the live CD
had not made a logical connection yet when the update manager was run
automatically at login of the administrative user.   When the update
manager runs, if no logical connection has been made yet, the connection
should be made while the update manager is held suspended until
connection is available, instead of giving an error that is confusing
like this.

[Bug 181923] [Hardy 8.04 Alpha-3 Live-CD] Update-manager icon reports "unable to communicate with backend".

2008-01-10 Thread Stanley Sokolow
Public bug reported:

Update manager icon on top panel pops up an error message, saying that it is 
unable to communicate with backend and that this should be reported as a bug.
When I click on the icon, the update manager window comes up and says system is 
up to date.   The clicking on "Check" appears to start a normal repository 
downloading, which locates 60 updates to be made.   This alpha-3 iso was just 
released today, so I doubt that so many updates are truly ripe for installation 
yet.

[Bug 152493] Re: Title bars on windows disappear every 7 times the title bar text changes

2008-01-07 Thread Stanley Sokolow
Correction to my prior comment:  When I mouse-over the controls, the grey bar 
appears every 1 to 5 times.  Never more than 5 tries before the bar appears.
Another observation:  When I un-maximize the window, as I said, I can 
mouse-over as many times as I want and it won't cause the grey bar to appear.   
This is true even when I stretch the size of the window to its full extent as 
though it were maximized, but still not in "maximized" mode.   That makes me 
suspect that the problem is not in the nVidia driver, because I find it hard to 
believe that the driver would know whether the state of the window is maximized 
or not.   I haven't studied the compiz code at all on this matter, but it's my 
hunch that maximizing/un-maximizing a window is the function of the window 
manager, not the graphics hardware driver.  In any case, this observation 
should be another clue to the developers.  Also, usually the grey bar 
disappears and the colored title bar restores to normal when I pull the mouse 
pointer off of the controls.  However, sometimes I can pull the pointer off of 
the control and some or all of the bar remains.  I can mouse around the window 
and the grey bar stays, until I mouse over the controls again and move off, 
then the bar disappears.  So, sometimes the bar has persistence until the next 
mouse-off event.

random.  It never happens when the same window is un-maximized.
Sometimes consecutive mouse-overs do it; sometimes not until 5 to 10
mouse-overs.  Mousing over the title bar itself doesn't do it.  The grey
bar obscures the title bar and its controls all the way from left to
right.  Sometimes it's a few pixels high; sometimes half of the height
of the title bar.  My desktop background is the leather image, which is
dark brown, so I'm sure the grey bar is not simply disappearance of the
top portion of the title bar.   If it just disappeared, I would see my
desktop background, but I see grey instead.  The grey has a vertical
gradient, dark at top and lighter below, as though it is a shadow border
of the top panel.  I notice that the grey is not uniform height all
across.  It is wider on the left and tapers to narrower on the right.

It may be helpful if all of the bug reporters on this bug include in
their comments the type of graphics processor they have so we can see if
it only occurs on nVidia graphics. My computer has nVidia GeForce FX
5500.

[Bug 181002] Re: unable to open document

2008-01-07 Thread Stanley Sokolow
I copied the document file to my Windows volume, rebooted into Windows
XP, and opened the same file with the Windows version of OpenOffice.
After a few seconds of processing, the document opened fine in
WordProcessor.  It is a 107 page text document.  It does contain some
embedded diagrams.   Maybe processing them causes the program to fail.
This bug and the file should be passed upstream to OOo.   I am attaching
the testcase file here so even if it is removed from the Internet, it's
still available for testing.

** Attachment added: "A MS Word document that causes OpenOffice.org 
WordProcessor for Linux (openoffice.org-core 1:2.3.0-1ubuntu5) to go into 
infinite loop while trying to open it.  This same file opens correctly in the 
Windows version of OpenOffice."

2008-01-07 Thread Stanley Sokolow
[Hardy 8.04 alpha-2 openoffice.org-core 1:2.3.0-1ubuntu5]  On this
testing iso, the same thing occurs.  That document causes OOo
WordProcessor to go into an apparent infinite loop consuming 93% of the
cpu time.   The window is blank except for title bar.  It goes grey.
After minimizing, it won't un-minimize.  I had to kill it from the 'top'
command window.

[Bug 42115] Re: Clicking on date in calendar applet open previous date in Evolution

2008-01-06 Thread Stanley Sokolow
[Hardy 8.04 Alpha-2 for i386 desktop]   Same faulty behaviour occurs in
this iso-testing version.   Relevant versions:  evolution 2.21.4, Gnome
panel 2.20.1, clock 2.20.1.That is, double-clicking on a date in the
drop-down calendar (from the panel clock) opens the prior date (at 9:00
am) in the Evolution calendar.   Clock has my correct time zone
(America_Los Angeles).  Evolution Preferences>General also shows my
correct time zone.

[Bug 179020] Re: [Hardy 8.04 alpha-2, nVidia proprietary driver] Display resolution randomly starts at low resolution instead of the chosen resolution when using nVidia proprietary driver but not a pr

2008-01-06 Thread Stanley Sokolow
Today, many updates were available from system update, including the new
nVidia driver.   I installed the updates, which went normally.   I
restarted.  I got a popup message informing me that a restricted driver
was available.   I activated it.  It downloaded from the Ubuntu
repository again and installed.   I restarted.   I activated the
"Normal" effects.   They work.  Then I did 10 consecutive warm restarts
of Ubuntu.   All 10 detected the screen resolution correctly.  No low
resolution startups.   This problem seems to have been fixed by nVidia's
new driver.  (Updated title of this bug.)

** Summary changed:

- [Hardy 8.04 alpha-2, nVidia proprietary driver]  Display resolution randomly 
starts at low resolution instead of the chosen resolution when using nVidia 
proprietary driver but not a problem with open-source driver.  New nVidia 
proprietary driver is available from nVidia.

[Bug 162480] Re: [gutsy] Ejecting zip disk works but then gives error messages

2008-01-03 Thread Stanley Sokolow
[Hardy 8.04 alpha 2]   On this iso, I get better results with ZIP disks.
I can eject by using right-click>Eject on the desktop ZIP icon,   I get
the popup message about the writing on the zip disk and that user should
not remove the disk, but it already did eject the disk. Then a message
pops up saying that it's safe to remove the (ejected) disk.   If I try
to eject using the eject button on the ZIP drive, nothing happens until
I eject with the right-click>eject on ZIP disk icon.  Then it ejects and
gives the message "writing data to device" and also give the error
message "cannot eject volume" even though the disk is ejected.

[Bug 49613] Re: flash plugin always rendered on top of html

2008-01-01 Thread Stanley Sokolow
The bug has been kicked around on the Firefox Bugzilla site for a long
time.   Apparently they have figured out that it's a problem with the
Adobe Flash plug-in for Linux.  See
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137189 .   The fix will
require that Adobe change the plug-in to use a new feature called
"windowless plug-in support" on Linux.  That's not expected to occur
until after Firefox 3 is released, it seems.

Re: [Bug 179505] Re: [Hardy 8.04 alpha-2 root privileges] Root has no privileges.

2007-12-31 Thread Stanley Sokolow
Ok, I now understand that this is another security feature, not a bug.
In earlier Ubuntu releases (not sure which) I was able to activate the
superuser root account by giving it a known password.  That has changed,
which is fine, I guess.
