[Bug 434255] Re: speedstep-ich no longer loads with kernel 2.6.31 on a IBM Thinkpad T23

2010-04-10 Thread Stefan Foerster
Jeremy, please close this bug. The bug had been fixed in the speedstep
module in one of the 2.6.32 kernel versions (see my above post, Dec 5th
2009).

[Bug 430494] Re: gdm upstart script fails to start gdm

2010-02-28 Thread Stefan Foerster
I have the same problem on my IBM Thinkpad T23. But it only happens with
_some_ kernels. For instance, I can repro the bevaviour with the new
2.6.33 kernel. 2.6.23.7 works (i.e. the boot process doesn't end with
the command prompt and I do not need to start gdm manually ), but only
with this additional line in rc.local:

/etc/init.d/gdm restart

I haven't seen this bevaviour with previous Ubuntu versions. But in
Karmic, both gdm and upstart have changed... as far as I am concerned
these changes have been introduced too quickly and need more testing
(not only because of this anomaly, there other additional ones, e.g. the
mount of my NFS network drive fails during boot).

[Bug 412292] Re: mic not working on ALC883 in Acer Ferrari 1004 laptop with Ubuntu 9.04

2010-01-05 Thread Stefan Foerster
I have the same problem with my MSI 670 notebook. I can activate the
recording buttons in the Gnome volume settings, but this does not
persist. I don't have any input, neither on "MIC", nor "Front Mic" or
Line (with an external microphone plugged in).

I have googled for "ALC883" and found that this is a common problem on
many machines. I did not find a solution, yet. I even removed pulseaudio
from the system (Ubuntu Jaunty) and use esound now instead, but to no
avail.

snd-hda-intel loads with the option "model=6stack-dig". I have also
tried "targa-2ch-dig" and "targa-dig" with the same result (but fewer
entries in the sound mixer).

It seems that ALSA is just buggy for this chip.

Here is some information about my machine:

[Bug 434255] [NEW] speedstep-ich no longer loads with kernel 2.6.31 on a IBM Thinkpad T23

2009-09-21 Thread Stefan Foerster
Public bug reported:

I have an IBM Thinkpad T23 running Ubuntu 9.04 with my own vanilla
kernels (no Ubuntu patches).

On all of my kernels up to 2.6.30.7 the Pentium-IIIm in my notebook
speedsteps the frequency. Here is a part of the lsmod output (running
kernel 2.6.30.7):

r...@stefan2:/sys# lsmod
...
speedstep_ich   3108  0 
speedstep_lib   4120  1 speedstep_ich

cpufreq_conservative 6824  0 
freq_table  4180  3 speedstep_ich,cpufreq_stats,cpufreq_ondemand
...

With exactly the same settings regarding cpu frequency scaling, the
kernel 2.6.31 no longer seems to support speedstepping on my notebook.
The module speedstep-ich does not load. I get the error "no such
device".

I also tried to use acpi-cpufreq instead - I get the same "no such
device" error.

[Bug 299245] [NEW] Evolution: "delete trash" with IMAP crashes

2008-11-17 Thread Stefan Foerster
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evolution

I use a mail server (dovecot) in my home network (running on my Linksys
NSLU2). I use 'evolution' as mail client on all of my machines. The
mailbox is IMAP format.

On one of my notebooks I have recently upgraded from hardy heron to
intrepid ibex, i.e. evolution version 2.24.1.1.

Whenever I select "Datei/Müll leeren" (file/empty trash), evolution
instantly crashes without any messages. The e-mails in the trash folder
don't get deleted, they survive this operation. In my preferences I have
the option "delete trash on exit" checked. This also doesn't work -
today I have realised that in total 1,599 e-mails had not been deleted
after the upgrade to intrepid ibex.

On my wife's notebook, running hardy heron and evolution 2.22.3.1,
deleting e-mails from the trash works as expected. The e-mails are in
fact gone after this operation, even when I open the trash folder on my
notebook with the 2.24.1.1 version of evolution.

This bug is reproducible. It was introduced in version 2.24.

Attached is my /etc/sudoers.

I may have found the reason for the strange behaviour after the upgrade
from gutsy to hardy: the user 'stefan' no longer belonged to the group
'admin'. Thus sudo synaptic failed and also the administration of users
and groups via gnome. I also experienced a failure of cups ("lpd
failed"), maybe due to the same problem.

[Bug 228814] [NEW] Hardy Heron: cups backend lpd fails

2008-05-09 Thread Stefan Foerster
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: cupsys

After the upgrade from gutsy gibbon to hardy heron, CUPS always fails to
print with the error message "/usr/lib/cups/backend/lpd failed" (in
http://localhost:631/printers/).

My notebook is attached via ethernet cable to a Netgear printserver.

URI: lpd://192.168.1.100/L1

printer: Kyocera FS-680 Foomatic/hpijs (recommended)

Before the upgrade I never had any printing problems with this
configuration (as well as with my second notebook attached in the same
way to the Netgear printserver and still running gutsy gibbon).

Stefan

PS: Because of the many bugs in hardy heron I refuse to upgrade my
second notebook at the moment, too. I am very disappointed about this
buggy Ubuntu release...). I also don't understand the switch to the
buggy beta version of Firefox, not supported by most of the plugins,
yet.

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: sudo

I just discovered that 'sudo /usr/sbin/synaptic' no longer works on my
IBM Thinkpad T23 after the upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 (hardy heron).

On the command line I get the following error message:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo synaptic
[sudo] password for stefan: 
Sorry, user stefan is not allowed to execute '/usr/sbin/synaptic' as root on 
stefan2.

The same when I use the Gnome menu entry of "synaptic" - I get prompted
for the root password and then get the message that the user "stefan" is
not allowed to start 'synaptic'. Also, the update-manager does not seem
to work: I just started synaptic as user root and had 2 updates pending.

I also checked my /etc/sudoers file... it is unchanged.

Under Gutsy Gibbon I had never experienced such a behaviour, this is
new.

2008-04-27 Thread Stefan Foerster
Public bug reported:

Yesterday I've updated from gutsy gibbon to hardy heron on my IBM
Thinkpad T23.

As I use /usr/bin/play of the sox package in gdm.conf to play a sound
file when the Gnome login screen appears, I recognized this bug which
was obviously introduced with hard heron (8.04).

On the command line the play command issues an error message instead of
playing the wav file:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/share/sounds/startrek$ /usr/bin/play complete.wav
/usr/bin/play soxio: Failed reading `complete.wav': unknown file type `auto'

The file 'complete.wav' had worked under gutsy gibbon. /usr/lib/gdmplay
plays the file without any problems.

[Bug 149964] Re: evolution: URLs with ampersand ("&") don't work

2007-10-25 Thread Stefan Foerster
Because I didn't understand the discussions going on - it reminds me of
discussions with co-workers in my company. We have the following
situation:

a) a very visible bug appeares in one of the key applications of Ubuntu,
so that ordinary users like me will recognize it and say "what a bad job
they have done..."

b) quickly a patch is developed - the problem seems to be solved, the
application would work again as it should and has been for years, if the
patch would be applied

c) but people discuss whether to apply the patch or not, talk about
'it's just annoying', people can manually change the URLs and that it
doesn't matter that links are no longer "readable"

But perhaps I'm too simple-minded to follow...

[Bug 149964] Re: evolution: URLs with ampersand ("&") don't work

2007-10-23 Thread Stefan Foerster
It's worse than only being an annoyance.

Today I received a newsletter (HTML format) that contains a lot of
links. Evolution not only cripples the links itself, but also the
visible link names.

For instance: The German word "Säbelsägeblätter" reads as
"Säbelsägeblätter" in Evolution.

It is not unusual to have these kind of words, as umlauts are quite
common in some languages...

Again, I also want to stress the fact that this bug was just recently
introduced. Some weeks ago evolution's implementation of links was
correct (and all the other versions before).

Since there are a lot of Gnome/Evolution users around, this bug will get
quite famous once Gutsy Gibbon is released.

2007-10-07 Thread Stefan Foerster
Hi Sebastien,

attached is the mail exported by evolution - hope this is possible to
import. Otherwise I can forward you this e-mail (using Thunderbird
and/or evolution ?).

The preferred browser command is "use the preferences of the browser".
The default browser is, of course, firefox.

[Bug 149964] evolution: URLs with ampersand ("&") don't work

2007-10-06 Thread Stefan Foerster
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evolution

I am using Gutsy Gibbon. Since a few weeks some URLs in e-mails get
somehow corrupted when clicked on.

I can repro this as follows with the e-mails I regularily get from an
eBay search subscription:

1. open evolution
2. open an arbitrary e-mail received from eBay
3. click on an arbitrary link to an eBay item
4. result: eBay prints "ungültiger Artikel" (in english: "invalid item"), since 
the URL is no longer correct.

This is a bug of evolution. I have tested exactly the same e-mail (from
my central IMAP mailbox) using Thunderbird and it works perfectly. I
also forwarded this e-mail to my Windows machine at work and also no
problem.

Here is a sample URL (shown in the firefox window) when clicked on the
link from Thunderbird:

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150168307117&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:DE:1

And here is the result I get when clicked on the link from evolution
leading to the "invalid item" message in eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150168307117&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:DE:1

Do you see the difference ? The character "&" is changed to "&",
i.e. the HTML equivalent of the ampersand sign, which obviously no
longer works and leads to a malformed URL.

[Bug 130248] Re: Savage (IBM T23): Gnome/Xorg crashes in fullscreen mode

2007-09-06 Thread Stefan Foerster
Additional comments:

a) I have reinstalled xorg and x11 packages from Feisty Fawn. Fullscreen
mode works again.

b) mplayer-plugin: This bug was caused by my modified
/etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf. I tried the default config file and the
plugin now works as expected.

[Bug 130248] Thinpad T23 (gfx: savage): X server crash (fullscreen mode and firefox mplayer-plugin)

2007-09-05 Thread Stefan Foerster
The problem has worsened... I had to completey reinstall my system
because I had to change the harddrive. The bug still persists (i.e. it
is reproducible on this system), but not only regarding fullscreen mode,
as I had previously thought. The X server now also crashes when the
mozilla-mplayer plugin starts to display a video within firefox (not in
fullscreen mode). Btw, starting mplayer not as firefox plugin shows
expected behaviour.

After such a crash the syslog has the following entry (German locale):

gdm[4134] WARNING: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Schwerwiegender X-Fehler - :0 
wird nun gestartet."
(meaning: serious X error - :0 will now be startet)

The problem is not related to gdm. I temporarily installed kdm and got
the same result and a similar syslog entry:

kdm[3457]: X server for display :0 terminated unexpectantly.

syslog also has the following entries after booting the system:

Sep  5 22:49:31 stefan2 gdm[4146]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_key_file_get_string: 
assertion `key_file != NULL' failed 
Sep  5 22:49:31 stefan2 gdm[4146]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_key_file_get_string: 
assertion `key_file != NULL' failed 
Sep  5 22:49:31 stefan2 gdm[4146]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_key_file_free: assertion 
`key_file != NULL' failed 
Sep  5 22:49:31 stefan2 gdm[4138]: WARNING: Server-Name »0« nicht gefunden. 
Standard-Server wird verwendet 
(the last message in German meaning: "WARNING: server name »0« not found. 
standard server will be used.)

What does this last message mean ? I've always thought that "0" IS the
standard server.

[Bug 131882] yaird (kernel >=2.6.22): unrecognised line in /proc/bus/input/devices: U: Uniq= (fatal)

2007-08-11 Thread Stefan Foerster
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: yaird

Installing kernels under kernel version 2.6.22 or greater using yaird
fails with the following error message:

yaird error: unrecognised line in /proc/bus/input/devices: U: Uniq=
(fatal)

When I install a kernel (even if its version is >=2.6.22) under kernel
<2.6.22, yaird works as expected. It seems that from 2.6.22 on /proc/bus
has changed and yaird hasn't been adapted yet.

I run the current Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (alpha 4), plain vanilla kernels,
with yaird version 0.0.12-20, but I don't think that it depends on the
distro or version. The same bug should affect other distros like Debian,
too.

Here is the transcript I get:

[Bug 130248] Savage (IBM T23): Gnome/Xorg crashes in fullscreen mode

2007-08-03 Thread Stefan Foerster
Public bug reported:

I have the following system:

IBM Thinkpad T23 (S3 SuperSavage graphics)
Ubuntu Linux: Gutsy Gibbon (as of today), Gnome

Everytime I start a program (or to be precise, a game, e.g. KETM), the
Gnome session crashes and gdm restarts. This has never happened before
under Edgy Eft of Feisty Fawn. The xorg.conf is unchanged.

The only thing (I know of) that is different, is that under Gutsy DRI
seems to work, i,e,:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/stefan/incoming# glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: Yes

This had always been "No" before Gutsy, and this had always been
reported as a bug - so I think that DRI has been enabled for the savage
driver but we have lost the fullscreen capability.

Here is my xorg.conf:
