Re: [Bug 191137] Re: [Hardy] ACPI Embedded Controller (EC) stops boot when kernel boot 'quiet' option is enabled or AC power is connected

2008-07-23 Thread Thomas McKay
My deepest thanks go out to everybody involved in solving this showstopper
of a bug.
After enabling proposed and upgrading the kernel this bug is just a bad
dream now, a problem of the past.

THANK YOU!

[Bug 158406] Re: CUPS-PDF folder

2008-04-21 Thread Thomas McKay
I agree wholeheartedly with Marius, this attitude is unwarranted.

If there is no solution readily presenting itself, some creativity is needed, 
not sour attitudes.
One dirty solution I can think of is to edit the save-as dialogue to run a 
secondary GUI after cups-pdf saves the file. The file could be saved in a 
temporary and intermediate location to be automatically moved afterwards to the 
location specified by the second GUI.

Is there no way to implement this?

Perhaps a bug should be filed against CUPS for not allowing parameters,
especially since it began offering file based print services. I would
believe any interaction with files should require the ability for
manipulation, be it file name or otherwise.

2008-03-29 Thread Thomas McKay
well i do have wireless... just 802.1x, and i need WPA2 enterprise
support.

anyways, I have compiled kernels before, I just didn't expect to have
the free time to do this, or the free time to fix something if i borked
it.

Thanks a lot for the patch though, but I'm going to continue booting in
recovery mode until this issue is solved at the repository level. It may
be a hassle, especially for livecd users, however for me it is a small
inconvenience.

2008-03-29 Thread Thomas McKay
I can confirm this bug, however, following the suggestion to modify the
udev rules resulted in a DIFFERENT 3rd networking device.

On my Vaio VGN C240E (intel 3945 wireless), iwconfig displays the following;
---
lono wireless extensions.

eth0  no wireless extensions.

wifi0 unassociated  ESSID:off/any  
  Mode:Monitor  
  
rtap0 no wireless extensions.



Please note I have never seen this "rtap0" before modifying the udev
rules. My wireless is still not working, and i'm about to revert the
udev file.

2008-10-02 Thread Thomas McKay
What make's an alpha or beta tester's hardware less valuable than the
hardware the final release is installed on? In many cases it is the same
hardware.

While I agree many install alpha or beta releases when they shouldn't, a
large number of people are actually working to do testing, and their
complaints are valid. If I or anybody sounds like they are "whining &
wailing" it is because their hardware is valuable, and they are doing a
service to you and everybody else.

2008-09-23 Thread Thomas McKay
I for one second the motion to remove the alpha images until they have
been prepared so that there is no risk of hardware damage. I would be
seriously concerned about the negative effects of ignoring this issue.

There is a liability on Canonical for the distribution of software which
causes permanent and irreparable damage. The problem has been
identified, and by not shielding their customers from this issue is
nothing less than WILLFUL NEGLECT.

REMOVE THE IMAGES NOW, and re-issue them when the driver has been
blacklisted.

2008-09-23 Thread Thomas McKay
Why do i not feel the warnings are enough?

for one, because users who download VIA bittorrent will never see those
warnings, and like somebody above noted, not all testers know for
certain the hardware they are running. Simply saying "if your computer
breaks, tough luck, we warned you" will not garner any respect among
linux users. The alpha testers are doing canonical a great service, and
taking that for granted would be a shame.

I'm not saying it's a democracy, i am just warning of the consequences
of ignoring this issue and bricking people's computers.

2008-04-26 Thread Thomas McKay
Matt,

you can configure the boot options by pressing escape at the grub count
down, pressing "e" to enter the edit mode, then edit what you wish. Pressing
"b" when you are done will boot the kernel with your modified options. That
should at least get you to the installer.

i actually don't know the first thing about WUBI, or how to solve this
problem to work with WUBI, but good luck to you sir.
