2014-06-06 Thread The Gavitron
this is probably related to this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug/1283615

I'm not yet sure which is cause vs effect, but doing:

$ sudo cp ~/.config/monitors.xml  /etc/gnome-settings-daemon/xrandr/

caused lightdm to start with the 'correct' monitor configuration for me.
Sadly, it did not persist through login to gnome-shell, but

$ nohup gnome-settings-daemon -r

seems to fix it for my user session.

[Bug 524454] Re: Networking is disabled on boot (usually after suspend/hibernate)

2012-08-21 Thread The Gavitron
This bug still exitsts in lucid-current:
 uname -a
Linux unicron 2.6.32-42-generic #95-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 25 15:56:09 UTC 2012 
x86_64 GNU/Linux
 lsb_release -r
Release:10.04
 aptitude show network-manager |grep Version
Version: 0.8-0ubuntu3.3


This bug hit me when hibernating the machine failed.  On all subsequent 
restarts, the machine would not automatically reconnect to the wired network, 
but dhclient could grab an IP if run manually.  All network state aware 
applications, ie: Chrome  pidgin exhibited broken behaviours after obtaining a 
network address - Pidgin refused to connect to any services at all.  Chrome 
could browse, but all application icons on the 'New Tab' page were grayed out, 
and no plugins would start.

to fix DHCP, I had to edit /etc/network/interfaces, and uncomment the following 
line:
# iface eth0 inet dhcp

while this allowed the machine to connect to the network at boot, the problems 
with the applications persisted.  Thanks to this bug report, I was able to find 
that /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state contained the line:
  NetworkingEnabled=false

by changing this line to true, then running:
 sudo service network-manager restart

I was able to reconnect.

since 10.04 is still under LTS support, I certainly hope there is an
effort to fix this 2+ year old bug, rather than hope it goes away when
support is dropped in 2013...

[Bug 530073] Re: sudo emails contain random buffer contents if hostname can't be resolved

2011-10-28 Thread The Gavitron
Agree w/ comment #5,  this is a security vulnerability, and should be
backported to 10.04LTS.I found this bug on our systems while doing a
security audit of those random emails that come in from root.
Thankfully, it's a bug, not a security breach, but this could probably
be used to mask malicious activity if one manages to bork DNS on a
compromised host.

[Bug 544935] Re: netcat-openbsd exits too soon

2011-05-12 Thread The Gavitron
We encountered this bug as we were upgrading our production environment
to Lucid.  I'm a little disappointed that this fix won't be applied to
lucid, as our production environment is now going to have to be modified
to work around this bug until the next LTS release, by which point we
will have possibly forgotten all about the change in the first place.

While I realise this isn't a severe regression, I think the SRU policy
at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates could be applied to this
scenario as a bug which (1) [has] an obviously safe patch and (2)
affect[s] an application rather than critical infrastructure packages

I would put this on par with removing the -j option from tar, then
postponing a fix until the next LTS.

[Bug 124406] Re: Keyboard keys get stuck and repeat (Feisty, Gutsy)

2010-10-22 Thread The Gavitron
Am seeing this on two distinct (and up-to-date) Lucid LTS installs.

Key 'release' events are getting dropped; at random, a released key will
repeat until that exact key is pressed  released again, regardless of
other keypresses.  only happens under moderate CPU load, (like when
playing minecraft or other java games.)  machine A is a dual-core AMD X2
1.8Ghz, machine B is an 8-core i7 @2.6Ghz w/ 8GB ram.

can't speak for others, but mine is most certainly related to the SIGIO
race: http://ajaxxx.livejournal.com/62378.html/

While the ubuntu maintainers wait for the kernel devs to push a fix,
maybe there's a temp fix to be had by disabling the soft key repeats
somewhere?

[Bug 192508] Re: mouse keys turns on randomly

2010-09-07 Thread The Gavitron
confirming for Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS 2.6.32-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP
x86_64 with latest updates.

mousekeys is enabled on EVERY reboot, despite having the accessibility
options set to the contrary.

The only time Ive ever pressed the shift-Numlock combination is to
disable mousekeys once I figured out why my numpad wasn't working.

Of note is that this bug was not on the original install of this machine
(built in march from the 9.x series,)  but manifested only about 2 weeks
ago when I rebooted to finish a minor update cycle. (~Aug 23 iirc)  I
wish I had known this was a bug then, as I would have been able to
identify the exact packages that had been updated.

2010-08-19 Thread The Gavitron
Had the same issue in Latest Stable Lucid, and comment #7 was the
problem and fix.

PATH=~/bin:$PATH

fails, but

PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH

works.

Changed bug status to confirmed since 
a)  I can confirm the behavior
b) http://www.faqs.org/docs/bashman/bashref_28.html suggests this should behave 
otherwise
c) the myriad scripts in /etc that prime tab-completion to behave in (imho: 
awful) context-sensitive ways are ubuntu specific.

edit:  in the above comment, I singularly reference tab-completion as
broken, when in fact /usr/bin/which and /usr/bin/xargs are also failing
for me when using tilde expansion.  I still blame the
/etc/bash_completion cruft, but I probably can't hang it all at the feet
