[Bug 269851] Re: Bluetooth Logitech Dinovo Edge Keyboard/Mouse does not work anymore

2010-08-14 Thread TheFinePrint
Both a google search and a local search in the bug database reveals that
this is a recurring problem, and at least every other Ubuntu release
breaks the keyboard support. This is particularly problematic because
it's nearly impossible to fix without a second keyboard, and since most
live CDs don't support cryptsetup and LVM.  I ended up using System
Rescue CD to perform the fix mentioned on the blog below. Note that it
refers back to a different Launchpad bug.

Please include diNovo edge and other affected Logitech peripherals in
the compatibility testing, so that we don't need all these unnecessary
bug reports.

2010-08-13 Thread TheFinePrint
Summary refers to Lucid beta. The problem is also present on Lucid
final, as installed from the alternate CD. I only have diNovo-keyboards
in my disposal, so even the workarounds are a bit of a hassle since I
can't log on without some older live CD.

[Bug 453337] Re: Karmic: Boot up problem, after usplash logo is a blank screen for about 14 seconds before xsplash appears briefly.

2009-10-22 Thread TheFinePrint
I am starting to suspect that this is the bug I too have been
experiencing on a laptop I set up for a friend.  Unfortunately I don't
think I ever let the computer sit for long enough (10s according to #2
here) before trying something else.

I changed from GDM to XDM, and while I still didn't get xsplash
(sweeping progression bar), I got to a working login screen at the
expected time.  Boot from the live-CD worked as intended, with the
proper splash screens etc, but of course with no login-screen (since it
went directly to a working desktop).

I posted my experience here:

Both the regular install from the standard disc *and* the "Guided -

Workaround:
Did a "Guided - use entire disk", but with a custom /boot-partition of 150 MB 
in the start of the disk.

This turned out to work.

[Bug 310231] [NEW] Bluetooth: HTC Windows phone - cannot parse

2008-12-21 Thread TheFinePrint
Public bug reported:

8.10, Bluetooth in general appears to work.  Pairing and file transfer
with a different device works.

Pairing with the HTC Windows-phone works one way;  When initiating from
Ubuntu, Ubuntu considers it a success, but the HTC-phone keeps waiting
for some extra piece of information, and fails shortly after.  Initiated
from HTC there are no issues.

Pairing with K750 works flawlessly, initiated from Ubuntu.

However every file transfer fails (push from phone), and browsing files
on the phone fails with either of the following error messages:

Push: (on phone: Failed)

Browse:
Internal server error
OBEX: Unable to parse incoming data

The weird pairing behaviour, together with the browsing issues leads me
to believe that this is a standards-issue, and that a work-around is
required on "our" account.

Please inform me on which additional information to post, and I will add
it as I can get it (not my phone).

[Bug 289918] Re: Regression: Connecting to FreeNX breaks keyboard layout in Intrepid

2008-11-20 Thread TheFinePrint
The problem with the evdev-solution is that it causes problems for those
users that may be on the physical machine.  E.g. when I log into my home
server over FreeNX the keyboard now works.  However if I log in locally
the keyboard is broken (same problem - except now in reverse).

Hence one must either change the keyboard layout every time one changes
login method, or one must choose which keyboard is more important;
remote or local.

There have been a number of updates, but the problem seems to persist.

[Bug 300090] [NEW] Added RAM - lost connection to 2 SATA-drives. Removed RAM and drives work again

2008-11-19 Thread TheFinePrint
Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS 64-bit desktop being used mostly as server.  The server
was running fine for considerable time before I took it down to install
2GB ram (1 module) in addition to the 2 x 1GB-modules already installed.
After doing so it would not recognise drives connected to the PCIe-SATA-
card, despite checking wiring, testing with different wiring and 4
distinct drives (3 x Samsung 500GB, 1 x Seagate 80GB).

Rebooting did nothing to aid, only when I removed the RAM-module did it
work properly.

NOTE! Everything else appeared to work fine; Gnome, Partition manager,
FreeNX-server, internet, etc.  Hence the specific RAM-module is not of
itself faulty.

With the help of erUSUL on IRC: #Ubuntu i got the following verified: Driver 
loaded and running.
$ lspci

A number of these lines appear fo ata1 and ata2, until it gives up.

Summary:
The only symptom I noticed was that I lost contact to the drives, and got an 
error-led on the drive-bay. hddtemp failed, etc.
The symptom only occured after adding RAM, all other things equal.
The symptom did not go away by checking/replacing cables and drives.
The symptom did indeed go away by removing the extra RAM-block, all else equal.

2008-10-31 Thread TheFinePrint
The important part was setting the keyboard to Evdev-managed keyboard.
Whether it is the remote or local or both that does the trick I'm not
sure of.

Changing the print-screen combination is convenient to allow a print
screen to be executed remotely, instead of locally only.

After reading tons, having no clue, flailing around, on both client and
server I did System, Preferences, Keyboard, Layouts, "Evdev-managed
keyboard" or similar, and then in the nx session, on the server, I did
System, Preference, Keyboard shortcuts, Desktop, Take a screenshot. It
was "Print", I pressed "Ctrl+PrtSc", it changed to "Ctrl+Print", and now
ALL the nav keys work fine.


This works for me too.

[Bug 255008] Re: Up arrow key mapped to Print [screen]

2008-10-28 Thread TheFinePrint
Judging by the remapping this appears to be the same issue that affects
NX-sessions.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/289918

The difference here is that the keyboard works as expected with no ill
effects *locally*, but broken when in an NX-session.  I cannot find any
.Xmodmap-files anywhere in my home directory or lower.

[Bug 289918] [NEW] Regression: Connecting to FreeNX breaks keyboard layout in Intrepid

2008-10-27 Thread TheFinePrint
Public bug reported:

Details:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6043289&posted=1#post6043289

Story:
I have a Ubuntu 8.04.1 64bit server with FreeNX (used to be Debian Etch 4 with 
NomachineNX).  Then I have two 32bit clients, one with XP and one with Intrepid 
(used to be Hardy).  The Intrepid-client also has FreeNX (server) installed.

When it breaks the keymap is messed up to the point of not being usable
in the NX-session.  Locally run programs are not affected.  Regular
letters and numbers are not affected, but arrow keys and special keys
such as pgup, pgdn, and delete are either not functioning or doing weird
things (e.g. arrow up is remapped to screenshot).

The following works:
WinXP to Debian Nomachine
Hardy to Debian Nomachine
WinXP to Intrepid FreeNX
WinXP to Hardy FreeNX

The following is broken:
Intrepid to Hardy FreeNX
Intrepid to Intrepid FreeNX

Changing character-map on the FreeNX host does not help.  Keyboard works
fine locally, and simultaneously with the NX-session (ie if I have a
text editor on top the home key will work in the editor run locally, but
nothing run remotely).

[Bug 281499] Re: Changing from kernel 2.6.27-5 to ...-6 and ...-7 breaks boot. LUKS, USB

2008-10-15 Thread TheFinePrint
I found the cause for the problem on the Desktop Dell with the -4
kernel, which might shed some light on what the problem might be for the
-6 and -7.  The latest update on October 15th did not help.

On the desktop I had forgotten to load the modules in initrd.  When
doing this error the behaviour was exactly the same as on the laptop.
As such I presume that some of the modules have either been renamed or
are no longer available.  The script depends on the following modueles
in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules:

vfat
fat
nls_cp437
nls_iso8859_1

Is there a way to see whether those modules have been loaded into an
initrd - to rule out that the problem is caused by not rebuilding initrd
correctly?

[Bug 281499] Re: Changing from kernel 2.6.27-5 to ...-6 and ...-7 breaks boot. LUKS, USB

2008-10-14 Thread TheFinePrint
I just did a stock install of the pre-beta on a Dell desktop (Intel P
-III-generation).  The machine does not have a connection to the net at
the moment, and as such I have not upgraded the kernel.

Pre-boot authentication was working fine, but even at the first attempt
at using the keyscript I got the same problem with it not finding the
keyscript, and not allowing the password to be entered.  There is a
large difference between when the script works, but no keyfile is found
- and this state and no keyfile is found.  In the former it patiently
waits for the password to be entered, in the latter it simply goes on to
a blank screen.

Note that this is the same script that works on my other machine with
the ...-5 kernel.

The script, as well as guide to set it up:
http://wejn.org/how-to-make-passwordless-cryptsetup.html

At the bottom there is a link to an improved version.  I am using that version.

2008-10-12 Thread TheFinePrint
When I boot with the intention of authenticating from the USB-stick I
usually plug it in at BIOS, at which time BIOS recognises it.  Since
there is no OS on it it continues to GRUB.  I just tried booting with
...-7 again, and got the same result.  However I tried to pay attention
to the USB stick LED, which lit up at more or less the same point as
with ...-5 (which boots successfully), but my impression was that it was
lit for a longer duration.  I still cannot enter the password normally
with -7.

[Bug 281499] [NEW] Changing from kernel 2.6.27-5 to ...-6 and ...-7 breaks boot. LUKS, USB

2008-10-10 Thread TheFinePrint
Public bug reported:

I used the alternate install CD on a Dell XPS laptop to set up Ubuntu
with default settings for a fully encrypted setup.  I have since
expanded crypttab to read a USB-stick to get a keyfile, or if that fails
ask for a password.  This worked without a hitch, and continue to do so
when I explicitly boot 2.6.27-5 from GRUB.

With ...-6 and ...-7 it starts by failing to find the keyfile, and asks
for passphrase.  There are no indications that it receives any
characters (no asterix).  Second at random times it comes up with
something to the effect of "Bad passphrase or options".

I rebuilt initrd in case that was the cause to no avail.

I do not believe this is luks-related.  The problem is authenticating.
Ie. getting input to the system - either USB pendrive, or input from my
keyboard which I suspect is USB (laptop, don't know for sure).

Original install was Intrepid pre-beta, and I have successfully upgraded
kernels since install.
