[Bug 577493] Re: various dialog box contents not displayed

2010-09-06 Thread Thomas Danhorn
I can confirm this for OOO build 3.2.0.10 (Debian 1:3.2.0-7ubuntu4.1)
and Xubuntu 10.04 (regular install) with ATI graphics card using the
FGLRX driver.  This is extremely annoying, but thanks guys for listing
the work-arounds!  The content of the dialog box is its background
(typically the the window of Calc, or whatever), but slightly shifted.
Moving the dialog does not change its appearance, i.e. it is not
actually transparent.  When the whole application is minimized and
restored, the inside of the dialog (if moved) is updated to the current
background, but not to its actual contents (text boxes, buttons, etc.),
which indicates that there appear to be different levels of "redraw"
procedures, not all of which can correct the problem.

[Bug 566146] Re: ugene crashes on start with symbol lookup error

2010-05-04 Thread Thomas Danhorn
BTW, I installed the 1.6.2 version of ugene (for Karmic) from the UniPro
website (amd_64 deb files) in Lucid, and it start just fine (have not
tested it thoroughly, though).  This may be a good work-around and help
in pinning down the issue.  Ivan - can you make an official "Lucid"
version on your PPA?  This would make the installation of 1.6.2 even
easier in Lucid.  Thanks for a very useful program!

I can confirm this for a fresh install of Lucid (and ugene) - exactly
the same message.

[Bug 129488] Re: very sub-optimal default readahead settings on device and unused readahead setting in LVM

2010-04-15 Thread Thomas Danhorn
I suggest to mark this as "fixed".  I did a few simple tests with hdparm -t 
/dev/xxx and while I am not convinced that this is necessarily the best, let on 
alone the only relevant measure of performance, I found no limitation in Karmic 
on a current 250 GB 7200 rpm laptop hard drive with the default setting of 256 
sectors (as Phillip Susi indicated, this is the default for all block devices, 
both LVM and non-LVM).  This agrees with Jack Wasey's observations.  I get ~90+ 
MB/s for readaheads from 64 to 8192 sectors, and I have no reason to believe 
that there are is a setting within that range that would be significantly 
different from the others (on my system, with the hdparm test; there is some 
variability in repeated measurements even with the same settings).  At 32 
sectors there is a slight drop to ~85 MB/s, and settings of 2 and 8 sectors 
give ~27 and ~40 MB/s, respectively, which shows that the readahead settings do 
have an effect.  To set the rumor to rest that the lvchange command has no 
effect (which was true in 2004 and perhaps later) - I tried with both lvchange 
-r and blockdev --setra, and they have the same effect - i.e. basically no 
change in performance between 64 and 8192 (highest I have tried), and a drop 
below 32.  (Using blockdev --setra on the physical device a logical volume 
resides on, e.g. /dev/sdxy, rather than of the logical volume itself has no 
effect, by the way.)
Long story short, in my experience the default settings are fine and the 
lvchange command works as expected if you feel the need to change them.  With 
SSD's this may have even less impact.

[Bug 531016] Re: Xfce4-mailwatch-plugin crashes randomly

2010-03-07 Thread Thomas Danhorn
While this may be related to bug #487080, I don't consider it
necessarily a duplicate, because the description of said bug states that
the plugin disappears systematically after *every* login.  In my case it
can be seemingly stable for for weeks and then typically disappears in
the middle of a login session, rather than at the beginning.  In the
discussion at the XFCE Bugzilla (see link in description) there is a
hypothesis that an expected mail server response leads to the crash.  If
that is in fact the case, some mail servers might "shoot down" at the
first request (after login), whereas others might do it only
sporadically.  But until this has been shown for 487080, I would treat
these as separate bugs.

the hope that it helps.  I did not see any reference to ICE in dmesg,

Interestingly this exact same problem still persists in (X)ubuntu Jaunty
and Karmic (NTFS-3g version 1:2009.4.4.  Was it never really fixed or is
this a regression??).  This is really annoying.  Does somebody else
experience this as well?
