Any chance this fix can be sent upstream to the Banshee devs, as this
bug is not unique to Ubuntu (it affects Banshee 2.6 on all Linux

[Bug 841476] [NEW] Slashes in ID3 tags not properly displayed

2011-09-04 Thread bdoe
Public bug reported:

I have a collection of songs by the old rock group AC/DC. According to
official convention, the band name is spelled with the slash. All of my
songs have ID3v1, ID3v2.3, and APEv2 tags, and in all tags, the artist
name is spelled AC/DC. However, when listed in Banshee, it displays
the song artist as AC; DC, which is clearly wrong. Even though my tags
are all correct and correctly display everywhere else within Ubuntu and
elsewhere, I have attempted to correct the tags in Banshee (right-click
-- Edit Track Information by changing AC; DC to AC/DC. The changed
tracks will then display correctly for a few seconds, and then revert
back to AC; DC.

Operating System: Linux Mint 11 Katya (based on Ubuntu 11.04)
Banshee: v2.0.0

[Bug 713278] Re: Touchpad Hotkey not working on Asus V6

2011-06-07 Thread bdoe
I'm running Linux Mint 11 Katya, which is based on Ubuntu 11.04 Natty.
I just tried the trick in reply #5, adding the hotkey to gnome-
keybinding-properties, and the Fn+F9 combination finally works to enable
and disable the touchpad on my Asus G73JH laptop. I did not have to edit
or alter /etc/acpi/asus-touchpad.sh at all.

What I find interesting is that the hotkey event handler
/etc/acpi/events/asus-touchpad does not appear to work at all, even
though it has the proper hotkey definition according to acpi_listen. As
far as I could tell, the hotkey was not being trapped at all. With
Ubuntu 10.10, I had the opposite issue: The hotkey event handler worked,
properly passing control to asus-touchpad.sh, but the sh script itself
would hang at the first xinput command.

[Bug 211631] Re: Network is brought down before network filesystems are unmounted (CIFS timeout at shutdown)

2011-05-24 Thread bdoe
On a functional level perhaps it is worth considering whether Network 
Manager, on stopping, should simply leave the interfaces as currently 
configured instead of taking them down. I can make the argument that 
Network Manager is a tool to make it easy for the user to control 
network interfaces, but Network Manager is not the owner of those 
interfaces, the system and user are. If the user makes a connection using 
Network Manger and then disables NM, why shouldn't the interface stay 
up until the user or a shutdown sequence takes it down?

Good point. However, an argument could also be made that if a user uses
Network Manager to set up and establish the network connections, the
user expects Network Manager to own and manage those connections. A
logical extension of this expectation is that, when Network Manager is
shut down, it takes its connections with it. If the user wants a more
permanent connection, then the user should set up the connection
manually. At least, that's the way I would expect things to work.

[Bug 728161] Re: Laptop subwoofer is not functional on ASUS G73JH

2011-05-18 Thread bdoe
I just recently upgraded to Linux Mint 11 RC (Katya), which is based
on Ubuntu 11.04. I can confirm Alek's solution in Reply#13 works for
enabling the subwoofer. Audio from the laptop speakers now sounds great.
There is a catch, however:

With snd-hda-intel set as model=basic, the subwoofer works, but the front 
speakers no longer mute when headphones are plugged in.
With snd-hda-intel set as model=auto, model=laptop (or laptop-amic), the 
speakers mute properly when headphones are plugged in, but the subwoofer stops 
working again. I will play around with some of the other snd-hda-intel options 
to see what they do.

One thing that's interesting to note: With model=auto set, the
following options show up under Output:Connector within Sound
Preferences: Analog Headphones, Analog Speakers, Analog Output. However,
these settings are a bit goofy. Looking at ALSAMIXER while changing
these settings, I can see that Analog Speakers  has both Headphone and
Speaker volumes set at 96 (default) - however, the speakers do mute when
headphones are plugged in though ALSAMIXER does not reflect this.
Analog Headphones properly mutes the speakers as shown in ALSAMIXER.
Now, here's the weird part: Analog Output sets Speaker volume to 0 and
leaves Headphone at 96. If I adjust the speaker volume, then change
output mode to something else and back to Analog Output, Speaker
volume reverts to 0 again, even if alsactl store 0 was issued before
changing output modes. This leads me to believe the volume levels are
hard-coded somewhere. Does anyone know where these are set?  This might
fix the speaker muting issue with snd-hda-intel model=basic option
set.

[Bug 768506] Re: CIFS VFS Server is slowing down shutdown

2011-05-18 Thread bdoe
It gets worse than that! It would seem that /etc/init.d/umountnfs.sh is
not completing execution, hanging somewhere after evaluating /etc/mtab
for nfs/cifs mounts, but before the variable $DIRS itself can be
evaluated and acted upon! I ended up taking matters into my own hands
and modified umountnfs.sh by adding a line to explicitly unmount my
network share, immediately after the mtab evaluation, as so:

exec 90 /etc/mtab

umount //192.168.1.100/MyNET\ Shares/

DIRS=

As a result, shutdown only takes a few seconds and no longer hangs.

I am having exactly the same problem with Linux Mint 11 Katya.
Installing the quick-lounge-applet goes fine, but as soon as I try to
add it to the gnome panel, gnome panel (2.32.1) disappears, a strange
shadow shows up in its place, and it goes into an endless relaunch/crash
cycle.  Something about the latest Gnome Panel used in the Ubuntu Natty
Gnome desktop (and, by extension, Mint Katya) seems to have broken
compatibility with quick-lounge-applet.

[Bug 728161] [NEW] Laptop subwoofer is not functional on ASUS G73JH

2011-03-02 Thread bdoe
Public bug reported:

This issue is nearly identical to that reported in Bug#673051, but on a
different ASUS laptop model. Like the ASUS G73JW, the ASUS G73JH has a
built-in subwoofer. This subwoofer works perfectly under Windows, but
does not work at all under Ubuntu Linux 10.10. As a result, sound coming
from the laptop speakers sounds thin and tinny on Ubuntu, instead of the
rich, full sound under Windows.

[Bug 476625] Re: Grub2 affected when os-prober incorrectly identifies Windows and Recovery partitions

2010-06-26 Thread bdoe
I have a fix for the problem. This affects those with Windows Vista
partitions being mis-identified as Windows Recovery Environment. The
problem is that os-prober is using /usr/lib/os-
probes/mounted/20microsoft to read specific attributes of the identified
Windows drive. One of these attributes is checking for W.i.n.d.o.w.s.
.R.e.c.o.v.e.r.y. .E.n.v.i.r.o.n.m.e.n.t within C:\boot\BCD. In Vista
and Windows 7, the BCD file will have that entry. Windows 7 users avoid
this problem because os-prober checks for W.i.n.d.o.w.s. .7 first,
then checks for Windows Recovery Environment. It doesn't even look for a
Vista entry, it just assumes the drive is a Vista drive if all other
checks fail. The solution, therefore, is to specifically check for
W.i.n.d.o.w.s. .V.i.s.t.a *before* checking for Windows Recovery
Environment, and after checking for Windows 7. Ideally, the presence of
Windows Recovery Environment should be the last thing checked.

I don't know if this is the ultimate solution, and I don't have an
actual Windows Recovery partition to check this against, but the
attached file works for me. Simply replace /usr/lib/os-

I had installed one of the later beta releases of Ubuntu 10.04 (latest
version available in early April), and my Vista partition was identified
correctly. Then, just yesterday, I finally noticed Update Manager trying
to get my attention, so I updated. Now, my Vista partition is mis-
identified as Windows Recovery Environment. I do not have a recovery
partition on this laptop. My boot priority also got changed (I had it
set to boot Windows by default).

I like Grub2, but it really should allow me to manually make changes
without having to rely on obscure scripts to autodetect things and lock
me out of the process. That just isn't the Linux way. Menu.lst really
needs to come back.

[Bug 503780] Re: OpenAL Soft doesn't work with PulseAudio (Ubuntu's default sound system)

2010-02-08 Thread bdoe
just add a file to your home folder name .alsoftrc and inside put
drivers=pulse

this fixed the problem for me and proves that the default behaviour is
wrong and needs to be fixed!

This actually *broke* openAL for me!

What I did: Edited ~/.openalrc and added the line drivers=pulse (the
existing drivers line is commented out).

Launched gmplayer, set audio preference to OpenAL. Restarted gmplayer.

Loaded an MP3 file. Pressed Play.

Observed PulseAudio Manager opened a new sink named Playback Stream,
with gmplayer as owner.

Observed gmplayer froze completely. No response from UI whatsoever. No
sound from gmplayer.

Killed the sink using PulseAudio Manager. This unfroze gmplayer. Pressed
Play again, and observed the same indications again. Killed the sink,
then changed gmplayer's audio prefs to use Pulse directly. Pressed Play

This is affecting me as well, to such a degree that viewing websites for
more than a few minutes in FF3.6 actually strains and hurts my eyes! I
am actually going to use Google Chrome until this is fixed.

This should be elevated to the highest severity possible. This may not

showstopper in that it can actually cause bodily injury trying to use
it!

2009-11-22 Thread bdoe
I don't think this is a driver problem either. If I'm not mistaken, the
nVidia (or whatever) drivers aren't even loaded at this point, which
means it's still using the standard VESA driver until X loads up.

It's also interesting that this is affecting everyone with 1440x900
screens, which is a 16:10 (8:5) resolution; however, the screenmode we
are being told has failed is a 4:3 resolution, as is the fallback
1024x768 (which is a standard SVGA resolution I had never heard of
1152x864 before this issue came up).

[Bug 381201] Re: snd-hda-intel powersave option and CLICK from speakers

2009-11-21 Thread bdoe
I had this problem, but I managed to fix it by a rather different
approach than the workarounds already posted here. I have an HP Pavilion
dv9830 laptop, and noticed that the light in my keyboard media strip's
mute button would turn from blue (supposed to indicate not-muted) to
orange (supposed to indicate muted) about 15 seconds after the last
sound has played. The next sound played after that would turn the light
blue again, but would also make a loud pop sound when the light
changes, and I'd notice the first half-second or so of the sound would
be clipped off. Now, although this mute button light works as it should
in Windows, it has never worked properly in Ubuntu. In fact, if I mute
the sound either through the button or through the speaker icon in my
notifications area, the sound mutes, but the light stays blue. This
leads me to believe that the light turning orange in Ubuntu is actually
indicating that the sound card is being powered off.

So, I went into /etc/pulse/default.pa, found the following line:

 load-module module-suspend-on-idle

and commented it out. I then restarted Pulseaudio (killall -9
pulseaudio, and let it respawn), and now the light stays blue, and
there's no more popping or clicking when a sample is played.

I don't think the popping/clicking when the sound card is being woken up
is a bug. At least, it's not a software bug, and it's nothing that
Ubuntu can control or fix. It is a hardware issue caused by powering up
the sound circuitry. Therefore, I believe the best way to resolve this
issue is not to remove the powersave feature, as it can be an important
feature for netbooks and laptops. Rather, the way to resolve this issue
is to add an option to PA Prefs to enable or disable Powersave mode and
to set the delay time; and have this option disabled by default.

[Bug 382703] Re: Home Folder has 3 different names

2009-08-24 Thread bdoe
I don't know if it's too late to add my own two cents -- if so, then
it's free. :p

When I first switched to Linux two years ago, the idea of the home
directory kinda threw me as well, but then Windows Vista ran with the
concept. Now, I don't have a lot of good things to say about Vista, but
one thing I feel they did get right was changing the structure of its
users' personal folders, so now it closely resembles how Ubuntu does it.
I also like how Vista addressed the naming of this folder, to a degree.

This is how I feel Ubuntu should handle the current Home Folder naming
mess: From a filesystem standpoint, the users' home folders should
remain named their login name. On Nautilus, in Gnome's Places menu
(and other desktop managers that handle shortcuts), and anywhere else
where the user's home folder is referenced in a GUI, it should be listed
as the user's full first and last names, if both are available --
otherwise fall back to the user's login name.

My reason for using the full name approach when available is simple:
Being called by your real name is more personal. Being called by
whatever screen name you've been arbitrarily assigned by your
administrator (or have given yourself in order to prevent spaces in your
login name) is just not as personal. To me, it seems cold and abstract.

So, in summary (since I have a tendency to ramble):
Home references in shell/cli: value of $USER
Home references in GUI (Nautilus, Places, etc.): First Name + Last Name, if 
BOTH are available; otherwise fall back to value of $USER.

Re: [Bug 332945] Re: [Jaunty] Update Notifier icon would provide useful status information / new update-manager behaviour is annoying

2009-07-06 Thread bdoe
I can certainly agree with and appreciate that. It is true that the
notification area in the average Ubuntu installation is nowhere near as
cluttered as the system tray in the average Windows installation, and it
is better to solve a problem *before* it becomes a problem rather than
after. I'd like to think that Ubuntu users are a cut above Windows
users, and that we don't simply ignore icons we don't understand. With
that said, however, I also understand that when a Windows user chooses
to (or is persuaded to) try out Linux, Ubuntu is usually the distro of
choice - and for good reason. While a cluttered notification area is not
very ideal, forcing windows to pop up uncommanded in the user's face is
truly bad form - the sort of thing I thought GNU/Linux was above. The
average Windows convert would likely panic, thinking that he or she had
contracted a virus; and the average Linux user would start having
Windows flashbacks.

I realize I'm preaching to the choir here, and that the people who
*really* need to hear this are no longer listening, but... If Ubuntu is
going to continue to serve as the bridge between the Windows and Linux
communities, then we really need to set better examples than this, and
not give in to the Windows way of doing things.

clean up the notification dialogue, the end goal was to make updates
more noticeable and present for the average user that would probably
just ignore the icon in the tray. Nine out of ten Windows machines that
I fix have a swamp of icons in the tray, and the customers that I
handle almost always don't know what any of them do. While there is
certainly a lesser amount of icons in Ubuntu, it would still probably be
ignored just as much.

I am in all ways against automatic updates because I think the user must
be aware of when something delicate is happening. E.g. in the last week
before submitting a thesis, if the system is  upgraded and for some
reason broken, you sure that I will come and kill some of you :) You are
all lukcy that I am not supposed to submit any more theses. 

I can see your point; however, this can happen even to those who
manually approve each and every update. It happened to me a couple of
months ago where I approved a kernel update, and the update crashed X
and kept it from being able to start. Granted, I was subscribed to
Proposed updates and so expected that sort of thing to happen, but it
can still happen to anyone whether the update was automated or not. At
least with manual updates, if something goes wrong, you've got a better
idea where to look for the cause.

At any rate, I don't think it's really going to be a big issue, if only
the security updates are automated. I've had automatic updates enabled
on my file server for more than a year, and it hasn't crashed yet - and
before you say, well, yes, but that's a server, I do have gdm and
ubuntu-desktop packages installed.

No, we should not do something potentially harmful by default. What if
an user does not know this and finds a 6000 euros internet bill at the
end of the month? Sure that'll be experience but I don't think they will
use linux anymore. Anything that may make automatic connections should
require user authorization. How to make this seamless is a possible
space for decision.

The same could be said for Windows. Since Windows XP SP2, automatic
security updates are turned on by default, and users have to
specifically opt out of it to turn it off. Someone transitioning from a
recent version of Windows should be used to that behavior.

Perhaps, instead of automatically enabling automatic updates, it can be
one of the questions asked during Ubuntu installation.

Regarding automatic updates: I'm with Martin on this one; I believe it
should be turned on by default. If you are on a pay-per-use Internet
plan or a plan that places a cap on your usage, you can simply go in and
turn off the automatic updates. After all, if Canonical is so concerned
about the security of its users' installations that it feels the
situation warrants interrupting the user with uncommanded popups, then
having the system automatically update itself without user intervention
should be right up its alley.

I'm curious to know how update manager displays itself if the system
needs to be rebooted after an update, and the user has already closed
the window...

Regarding forking Ubuntu:  Does anyone know if Mint has/will have this
improvement?

@Martin:
No - there are two problems with automatic [anything]:
1. I may be using the application that is being upgraded - and may cause it to 
crash / misbehave.
2. An automatic download at the wrong time might be very costly for the user. 
For example on my 3G connection it costs me the same to download the first 3GB 
of data in a month and to download every 60MB after that. That means any 
program starting an update at a random time, may end up costing me a lot of 
real money (without a warning). An openoffice update at a wrong time could 
really hit me.

@Vincenzo Ciancia:

Pidgin was forked for less annoying changes... With ubuntu it's even easier - a

consider the popup behaviour in whatever form to be broken / a bug.

Really, I'm just scared to death of Gnome 2.30/3.0 modeling too much

(good lord, if there's a dock, I swear I'll kill myself). If this
happens, I believe for the first time I'll be considering switching over
to KDE. I've always loved GNOME for the two+ years I've used it, and I'd
hate for it to get spoiled. Don't get me wrong, I'm welcome to changes
in GNOME, but if there isn't a good substitute for the notification
area, which seems to be the ultimate victim, I'm afraid I wouldn't be
the only one ditching it.

I digress, though. ddumont, even though I agree with you, I feel that
aggression won't get us anywhere. MPT knows that the majority of us hate

us an option to keep the notification tray if we end up not liking the

True. I believe the correct term would be fascism; but we are getting
way off topic.

FWIW, I noticed that the behavior of the update window seems to have
changed since I first installed Jaunty. Instead of opening as a
popup/popunder, it is opening minimized in my task panel. Though this is
not as annoying as having the window get in my face every time it wants
attention, it is still annoying, and to me seems to violate the
principle of the reason for all this change to begin with. Now, instead
of an innocuous icon sitting in my notification tray, I have a minimized
window sitting on my task panel. They didn't really clean up the
notification area; they just simply moved them somewhere else!

Nominating for Gnome-Desktop, since this issue appears to be system-wide
throughout Gnome. With Play Alert Sound enabled in Preferences -
Sound, ALL applications that generate an alert causes the system beep to
be used instead of the user-defined alert sound, even if the chosen
sound is valid.

This is the 21st century. The ONLY time system beep should ever be used
is when the normal sound system (OSS, ALSA, whatever) has completely
failed and the system has no other means of indicating alerts.

[Bug 331589] Re: Extremely loud and intrusive system beep with (some?) HD Audio devices

2009-05-31 Thread bdoe
There are indeed three separate but possibly related problems
intertwined in this ticket:

1. PCSpeaker audio too loud.
I haven't noticed this problem myself, specifically. My laptop's PCSpeaker 
output is routed through my sound card anyway, possibly a BIOS function. 
Something interesting to note here, though: PCSpeaker output is *always* 
through my laptop speakers, whether I have headphones plugged in or not (HDA 
Intel). However, I do have a volume control setting for Beep on my mixer. It 
is currently muted (which has no effect on its output through my speakers), but 
unmuting it and turning the volume up results in it being output through my 
headphones as well.

2. Beeps at system shutdown.
I can confirm this one. The beeps in question are the alert beeps that normally 
happen when one issues a shutdown command in console. I have always heard the 
series of beeps whenever I issue a shutdown command within a terminal window, 
from TTY, or over SSH if I remotely shut down another computer. These are also 
distinct from the system beep in lieu of alert sound bug, as these beeps are 
of a much higher pitch. It's important to note that these beeps have *never* 
been triggered by a shutdown from desktop; only from a shell shutdown. It is 
only with Jaunty that the beeps are now accompanying a shutdown from desktop.

3. System beep in lieu of alert sound setting in Gnome Sound Preferences.
This is a separate bug from #2, and may or may not be related. I have had this 
bug for as long as I can remember (I joined the Linux community with Feisty). 
Gnome Desktop seems to have never honored my alert sound settings. Now, what is 
TRULY interesting here is that, although Gnome does not honor it, some non-GTK 
programs do - namely Second Life. Backspacing too far within the SL client 
causes your chosen alert sound to play. So, this is clearly a Gnome bug.

As for the Compiz situation: I do not understand why it has a system
beep setting. It seems to me that, if Compiz is going to be an official
part of Ubuntu, then it should be integrated far better than it is now.
This means forcing Compiz to honor all Gnome settings, rather than
forcing users to set window decorators, mouse pointers, and system beeps
in two different places.

[Bug 366784] Re: Ubuntu 9.04 - PrintScreen Key does not start gnome-screenshot

2009-05-18 Thread bdoe
I had this problem as well. However, when I went into Preferences in
CCSM and reset all settings back to default, PrtSc worked again. I then
went through and individually changed each Compiz plugin settings back
to the way I wanted them, which includes the Desktop Cube, and PrtSc
still works.

I haven't tried rebooting yet to make sure everything still works
afterward, but based on what I experienced here, it seems maybe older
Compiz profiles saved on Intrepid and before might be the cause of the
problem.

[Bug 376364] [NEW] Evolution stops connecting to internet

2009-05-14 Thread bdoe
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evolution

After an indeterminable period of time after being launched, Evolution
will no longer communicate with the Internet. Internet connection is
fine, all other applications can access it without any problems, but
Evolution will hang trying to load images or upload/download new
messages. This behavior appears most likely to happen after importing
messages, after creating new message-filtering rules, or simply after
being left open for a few hours. The only remedy is to shut down and
restart Evolution.

It is important to note that Evolution itself does NOT appear to be hung
at any time. It just simply acts like it cannot find an internet
connection and waits indefinitely for one to appear. Evolution does
respond appropriately to user cancellation of image downloading or
connection attempts to POP3 servers.

[Bug 73835] Re: evolution slow to display images

2009-05-10 Thread bdoe
I would like to re-open the bug based on image-loading performance with
Evolution 2.26.1 with Jaunty. The image rendering itself isn't a
problem; it's the fact that Evolution only retrieves one single image at
a time. When you consider the overhead of contacting the remote server,
waiting for a response, then closing the connection after an image is
downloaded only to repeat all of that again for each and every image, it
makes for excruciatingly-slow overall image loading.

For comparison's sake (since I have just completed migration from
Thunderbird to Evolution and have the same e-mails in both clients), I
compared the time it took Thunderbird (2.0.0.21) to completely render an
e-mail message full of images with how long it took Evolution to render
the same e-mail:

Thunderbird: 1.5 seconds
Evolution: 18 seconds

Clearly, this kind of performance gap between a professional-class
client and a personal/SOHO client is unacceptable and indicative of a
major problem. Evolution is a wonderful e-mail client except for its
painful image-loading algorithms.

Besides, this isn't about us. Most of us here can work our way around

I'm absolutely certain now that the window did pop as it was supposed

one of my major complaints about this new notification method: Once 
dismissed, the window was gone for good, and I had no further reminders 
of the updates.

The window popped again for me today, with new updates. This time, I 
heeded it. Unfortunately, I had to stop everything I was doing so that I 
could service the update window - this in lieu of dismissing the window 
again and forgetting about the updates.

I stand by my assertion that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the 
old method of popping an icon in the notification tray, and would like 
to see it re-implemented. If needed, have the icon pop along with an 
accompanying OSD-notification that New Updates are Ready to Install, 
flash the icon until the OSD goes away, then leave the icon persistent 
until the updates are installed. I don't see how this could have ever 
been considered broken to begin with.

 other OS vendors; after it is released from embargo, it will be between
 0 and 60 minutes before the new package is published in the Ubuntu

 computer next checks for security updates. This is all true regardless
 of whether that last step involves a notification area icon or the

I can't file a bug report on something I don't know exists. Like I

Update Manager or another security update comes along (assuming I don't 
once again dismiss the window after it pops up and annoys me). With the 
notification icon (aka. old behavior), there is nothing I can do to 
dismiss the icon short of updating my system; nor would I have any 
reason to dismiss the icon prematurely, since it is completely unobtrusive.

As for your point about my system never being truly secure: I understand 
that. I was being facetious. but the FOSS community has generally been

[Bug 332945] Re: [Jaunty] Update Notifier icon would provide useful status information

2009-04-30 Thread bdoe
Is this still up for discussion, or are we expected to just eat this one
(in reference to the Confirmed - Won't Fix status)?

There is NOTHING MORE ANNOYING, bar none, than having windows pop up
uncommanded. Having windows open surreptitiously underneath everything
I'm doing is sneaky, underhanded, and not likely to be noticed for days.
The notification icon did its job, and it did it well. This new change
does not serve the Ubuntu userbase well at all.

Here's the reason I am here posting this right now: I went searching for
an existing bug report in hopes of determining why I hadn't seen an
update notification since I installed Jaunty a week ago. I became quite
concerned when I manually launched Update Manager and noticed a slew of
Security Updates in there. Why wasn't I informed of this? I asked
myself. Why did I have to go manually LOOKING for these updates?

There was no notification of the IMPORTANT SECURITY UPDATES. None. If a
window had popped up at some point of time over the past week, I
probably closed it without realizing what it was. Since I got no further
notification of important updates, I figure this new behaviour assumes
that if I dismiss the popup/popunder window that comes up, then I don't
care about the update, because there is no persistent notification. No
icons, no indication of any kind that my system could be vulnerable to
attack because of uninstalled security updates - security updates
uninstalled because I was not aware that there were any to install.

Please bring back the notification icon. If for no other reason, so it
can keep my volume control applet icon and network-manager icon company
up there. They do get lonely. And I would sleep better at night knowing
that, if there's no icon up there indicating important security updates,
then my system is truly secure.

This is a showstopper, since the nVidia 180 drivers are never suggested
for update with the .12 kernel, and it's nearly impossible to do so with
the .13 kernel, without booting into safe mode and running xfix first.
Even then, the nVidia 180 drivers need to be updated through Synaptic or
APT before Jockey will pick it up and make it available.

There's no known workaround for ATI users as of yet.

The fact that audio seems to be muted in the first place appears to be a

When running gstreamer-properties, I got the following output:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gstreamer-properties 
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'artsdsink'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'v4lmjpegsrc'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'qcamsrc'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'esdmon'
Segmentation fault

The segmentation fault occurs whenever I click Test for either video
source or video sink settings. Sometimes a window containing the test
video will appear for a split second before the segfault. Once in a
while, I am able to test both functions without a crash, but only
rarely. I get the best chance to avoid a crash if I issue a rm -rf
~/.gstreamer-0.10 first, but not always.

This may be related, but not sure since I don't know if gstreamer is
used for this or not, but - in the game Second Life, whenever I attempt
to view streaming media, the program crashes with no useable error codes
in the program logs.

Attached is the output of gdb.

[Bug 207883] Re: (gnome-sound-properties:16528): Gnome-WARNING **: error caching sample -1!

This problem has not been addressed. I'm having it as well. I seem to
recall with Feisty I could use OGG files. Not so in Hardy.
