[Bug 1617481] [NEW] Wireless not seen after Ubuntu update 8/25/2016

2016-08-26 Thread William Spears
Public bug reported:

After an upgrade to my 32-bit Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS yesterday, my wireless
card is no longer noticed. It is a Broadcom, using their driver.

>09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5906M Fast 
>Ethernet 
>PCI Express (rev 02)

>0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-
PHY (rev 01)

Ethernet still works.

Going back to a previous Ubuntu kernel solves the problem.

My computer is an old (2008) Dell XPS laptop. I've never had any
wireless problems until today.

Following the directions shown did not fix the problem:

>WARNING: Security updates for your current Hardware Enablement Stack ended on

>16-08-04: * http://wiki.ubuntu.com/1404_HWE_EOL

Any thoughts? Thanks, Bill

[Bug 1280533] Re: my-weather-indicator doesn't show the temperature

2015-04-01 Thread William Spears
Same (or similar) issue on Ubuntu 14.04. Temperature often does not show
up on boot and login. Clicking on the icon does nothing. I kill the
process and restart it, which solves the problem for a while. Eventually
the temperature disappears again and the icon goes back to doing
nothing. Didn't have these issues in 12.04.

[Bug 773232] Re: gnome-volume-control freezes with Waiting for sound system to respond

2011-11-04 Thread William Spears
Having the same problem with Ubuntu 11.04, as of Nov 4, 2011. But, until
today I've never had a problem. Interestingly, the small icon on my
toolbar changed today also. Was there an update that has broken things?
In fact, it causes *everything* to respond very very slowly...

[Bug 787067] Re: ps2pdf segmentation fault

2011-09-23 Thread William Spears
OK, after much work today, I can answer that the same problem occurs
with Ubuntu Oneiric (Beta 1). A live install wasn't good enough because
there was insufficient space to hold texlive. So, I did the full install
on HD. ps2pdf still crashes with a segmentation violation. I'm now going
to painfully re-install 11.04 and re-apply the fixes. Sigh. There is
something definitely bad here.

[Bug 787067] Re: ps2pdf segmentation fault

2011-09-23 Thread William Spears
OK, I'm backing everything up and will re-install Ubuntu 11.04 in a few
hours. Then I'll copy my files back. When that happens I'll try to
create a PS file for you. The current one is a whole book, which
Springer would not be happy about if I released. So, I'll see if I can
make one chapter and see if ps2pdf will crash. Of course, this will
involve installing texlive again, which takes a while. I'll either stay
up all night, or work on this tomorrow after some sleep. Thanks.

Till, thanks for replying. I presume you mean this guy?

http://releases.ubuntu.com/oneiric/ubuntu-11.10-beta1-desktop-i386.iso

After doing this I presume I can see my normal file system on my HD so I can
try to recompile my latex?

Sorry for all the questions - the last time I sysoped was in the 80s on one of
the first Sun Sparc machines and things have changed a LOT. Catching up as
fast as I can. Thanks, Bill

OK, thanks. Will try. Looks like my CD/DVD drive is crapping out (lots of 
chattering),
so need to order new one and then will give this a shot. Unfortunately, using 
unetbootin-linux
isn't working either for a live boot from USB... argh.

[Bug 787067] Re: ps2pdf segmentation fault

2011-09-18 Thread William Spears
I have the same segmentation violation with ps2pdf with 32bit Ubuntu
11.04. I just finished a book, using Ubuntu 8.04, and had no
difficulties. Friday I installed 11.04 and the problems began. The
proposed quick fix prevents the segmentation fault, but the final PDF is
not quite correct. One thing that is clearly wrong is how .eps graphs
are being rendered (the numeric labels are positioned incorrectly). I'm
wondering if there has been any progress in this. I might be able to
post the DVI, PS and PDF of a portion of the book if that helped. I'm
using texlive. Sorry if I'm not providing the info you need - I'm a
newbie at reporting Linux problems - ask me if you need further info.
Thanks

[Bug 787067] Re: ps2pdf segmentation fault

2011-09-18 Thread William Spears
If one examines the dvi with xdvi, it looks ok, but each time a graph is
on that page, the following warning appears:

gs: GPL Ghostscript 9.01: Warning: the Xfonts feature is deprecated and
will be removed in a future release.

If one examines the PS file with gv or evince, the numbers on the labels
of the graphs do not appear.

When the PDF file is created, the numbers are moved from where they
should be.

I *was* using Ghostscript 8.61 in Ubuntu 11.04, and am wondering if it
is really Ghostscript 9.01 that is causing the problem, as opposed to
ps2pdf.

[Bug 787067] Re: ps2pdf segmentation fault

2011-09-18 Thread William Spears
Till, unfortunately I don't fully understand how to do that. I've
experimented some more and believe there are several problems. One is
with ghostscript - it appears to be called by xdvi, and doesn't play
well with it. If you xdvi the dvi file and zoom in to level 5 of zoom,
the right border gets chopped off. Also, as you know, there is the
ps2pdf problem. Finally, the dvips command that comes with the newest
texlive doesn't seem correct either.

What I've done is re-install ghostscript 8.61, texlive from year 2010,
and the fixed ps2pdf and things are looking better (although still not
the same byte for byte). I still need to do a page by page comparison
with my old saved pdf file...

The newer ghostscript and texlive aren't playing well together, for
reasons that are beyond me.
