[Bug 1835530] Re: kwin-addons: after installing any third-party task-switcher, all non-compiz switchers error

2019-07-05 Thread daf
Just a heads-up that

dpkg -S /usr/share/kwin/tabbox/informative/contents/ui/main.qml

reports:

kwin-addons: /usr/share/kwin/tabbox/informative/contents/ui/main.qml

(in case it matters -- because I see there's a kdeplasma-addons-data
package, but no kdeplasma-addons package, according to `apt-cache search
kdeplasma-addons`)

[Bug 672052] Re: ata errors leading to system hang: "soft resetting link" repeated many times before hang

2012-04-09 Thread daf
I haven't seen the bug since I reported the workaround -- simply because
I haven't tried to reproduce it, having maintained the workaround on my
home machine.

I'll try to get a test done asap -- though the test may prove rather 
insignificant since I've switched to Linux Mint 12 after:
a) the lack of response on this and other critical bugs that I filed against 
Ubuntu packages (no offence intended: I tend to get apathetic about being a 
good user and reporting bugs and trying to be helpful when every bug I submit 
is only examined 1 or 2 releases later. Again, no offence: I'm not starting a 
fight here, I'm not trying to flame (though I'm sure it seems that way). I just 
start to give up).
b) Unity. Yes, that famous flogging horse. Not at all that Unity was created or 
even set as the default -- even on upgrade! -- more that the implementation of 
Unity broke everything else I liked, mainly through patches on GTK which broke 
heaps of the apps I wanted to use and every other desktop environment that I 
tried at the time. GNOME 3 is no better, and I'm now, sadly, using KDE which, 
slow and unresponsive as it gets, at least does (mostly) what I want it to do.

Anyway, this isn't really the right place for this and my apathy sets in
again. I'll report back on the current state of this bug in Linux Mint
12, which will probably still be relevant to Ubuntu because of the
upstream package chain.

[Bug 777576] [NEW] Desktop effects broken in Natty (upgrade and new install)

2011-05-04 Thread daf
Public bug reported:

Upon upgrading to Natty (and I've observed this on a clean install), when I log 
in to the "Ubuntu Classic" desktop and enable Desktop Cube (which requires the 
OpenGL plugin) for compiz, I get a session with no window borders. If I run, 
from a console:
gtk-window-decorator --replace
the process seems to hang (strace also shows no activity after a second or two, 
ie no event processing or anything). Running:
emerald --replace
crashes.

Steps to reproduce:
1) upgrade to Natty (or install new)
2) install CompizConfig Settings Manager (ccsm)
3) run ccsm
4) select OpenGL plugin (or Desktop Cube which will require the OpenGL plugin)
5) resolve any keyboard or plugin conflicts (Desktop Cube conflicts with 
Desktop Wall, for example)
6) plugins are applied, window borders disappear (though the desktop cube 
effect is working)
7) logging in again produces a session with no window borders
8) running "gtk-window-decorator --replace" from a console hangs
9) running "emerald --replace" from a console crashes
10) running "metacity --replace" from a console regains a useful windowed 
desktop

Note that when there were no window borders, I could find no gtk-window-
decorator or emerald process in the current process list.

[Bug 672052] [NEW] ata errors leading to system hang: "soft resetting link" repeated many times before hang

2010-11-07 Thread daf
Public bug reported:

Upon upgrade to Ubuntu 10.10 (and after that, re-installing clean with 10.10, 
the issue appeared to be gone but has come back), I see a lot of this in 
/var/log/messages*:
Nov  6 12:31:34 nea kernel: [ 6606.394579] ata1: soft resetting link

This is repeated quite often and eventually the machine hangs dead (even
sysrq keys don't work).

It seems that the issue is antagonised by my external 2TB drive which
was connected on eSata. Powering off and reconnecting the drive via USB
(at least 2x slower when working with files!), the problem goes away.
The messages can be triggered by copying to the device. The drive is not
a problem though -- palimpsest reports the drive is OK and, as I've
reported above, connecting on USB makes the problem go away (and the
problem wasn't present in prior revisions of the kernel).

This wasn't a problem before 10.10; 9.10 worked fine with this through
several iterations of the kernel. It seems that a kernel update around
10.10 has caused the problem to rear its head. Please advise if I can
furnish any more info. I'm considering trying a vanilla, latest kernel
from kernel.org compiled for my system to see if the problem is there
too -- please advise if doing so would be helpful as I'll do so sooner
rather than later.

2010-11-01 Thread daf
Feedback with Maverick:

The problem is diminished but still present. On my not-all-that-fast
wireless network at home, I can get 2.1-2.3 mb/s to a NAS machine over
ftp but only 1.6 mb/s via smb. The destination is not the problem
because the speed ramps up with a faster network.

Sure, it's better than the < 1mb/s that I was getting at the time of
this report, but protocol shouldn't incur such an overhead, surely?

Hi Pedro

I'll be upgrading some time soon (perhaps tomorrow night). At the moment, I
have some dvd rips queued on my machine and I'd rather they finished first

I will most certainly report back after the upgrade.

Re: [Bug 655351] Re: [ALC888 - HDA ATI SB] Headphones don't mute master sound

2010-10-07 Thread daf
I'm obviously confused about the jack colors ):

However, examining general sound equipment usage:

Line-out *shouldn't be amplified*. Speaker-out should. Line-out should be
used by people who have dedicated amplifiers (ie, me: I should be using it,
but I don't -- I haven't stumbled across not having a line-out on my current
hardware because I like having the volume control "just work". I do,
however, remember jacking into the wrong port on a prior card (I think it
was an SB) and getting a very low volume with no amp, finding out it was
line-out and switching to speaker-out). Speaker-out should be used for
simple speakers which require amplification or lazy people like me who like
using software volume controls.

So it wouldn't surprise me, since I've obviously gotten the colors wrong (or
misread things) that most audio cards don't have a real line-out -- they
just have a speaker-out.

So, whilst I'm certainly not picking a fight with you (since this is
apparently an upstream decision), I can still come back to my original
points:
1) headphones muting the speakers used to work pre-9.04 (so we have an
established user expectation even under Ubuntu)
2) headphones mute the built-in speakers of my laptop (windows and ubuntu)
-- why the inconsistent behaviour for a desktop? Just because the speakers
in the laptop are bolted into the frame of the machine? What an arbitrary
3) Windows gets it right: plugging in headphones mutes external speakers --
it's convenient. Though I think you can disable that feature if you want.
I'm told by a person at work that his Mac does the same.
4) It seems to be the expectation of the user -- note the number of bug
reports against this design choice.

Again, I'm really not fighting with you on this -- picking a fight with you
would be kinda pointless here (:
However, I would like to ask you for some help: where would I lodge this as
a request upstream? ALSA devs? It's easy to report an ubuntu bug/request
with apport -- not so easy to know what to do if the problem isn't
Ubuntu-specific. I don't mind taking this further -- there seems to be
enough general confusion over the matter that there might actually be some
consideration put into my request (or am I just being naive and optimistic?)

Thanks

But you see now, that thread makes sense: the line-out shouldn't be muted.
Speaker out should. The jack ports are: light-blue for line-out and green
for speaker out. I'm using green ):

Should I re-open this?

I just had the correct behaviour under windows -- was playing Borderlands
with headphones and only realised that my amp volume was still on when I
rebooted and got Ubuntu event sounds.

It's weird that it's "by design" from a user perspective:

1) That Other OS (Windows) mutes the speaker output when jacking in
headphones on the same machine
2) pre 9.04, so did Ubuntu.

Now I have to make sure that I turn down the hardware volume on my
plugged-in speakers whenever I jack in headphones -- what do people do when
they don't have hardware volume controls on their cheap-ass external
speakers? I'm not having a go at you -- I just don't understand the "by
design" decision. I could get it if it was an option to allow this
behaviour, but not the only way ):

I'm not sure if I'm going to answer your question correctly, so here
goes:

I don't have internal speakers -- in that I don't have any speakers actually
inside my machine. Not sure if that's what you're asking?

I do use the pcm out (green jack) at the back of the machine to feed into
powered creative 4.1 speakers (but I only use the first stereo jack -- the
speaker set will automatically duplicate front to back when only given one
input and I have never managed to reliably get 4.1 sound on things that
support it as well as getting music apps (like audacious) to output to both
the front and back speakers -- so I just leave it in "stereo").

Have I answered your question?

[Bug 655351] [NEW] [HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB] Headphones don't mute master sound

2010-10-05 Thread daf
Public bug reported:

When plugging in headphones, the master output is not muted any more (It
used to mute prior to 9.04 if memory serves correctly).

This first appeared on my upgrade to 9.04 (yes, that long ago). I've
been attached to bug #464863 since then because it looks like the same
problem. That bug has been closed out (I think due to inactivity) and
I've been asked to log a new one
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-
driver/+bug/464863/comments/11). So here it is.

Please let me know if there is other info I can provide or tests I can
do.

[Bug 311581] Re: MASTER Network Manager integrated ppp support - should allow the configuration of dial up modems

2010-08-19 Thread daf
Well put, Devarshi

I think that what you're saying was the original intent of the bug report. 
Whilst it sucks that establishing a ppp link is more of a mission than it needs 
to be, it sucks a whole lot more that because NM can't tell that the user is in 
fact online, it misinforms client applications of an offline status -- changing 
their functionality (Firefox won't even try to get a page; Pidgin won't even 
let you attempt to go online, etc). 
IIRC, this was why I ended up uninstalling NM (replacing with wicd). Sure there 
are some other work-arounds (Firefox has a config tweak, for example), but the 
path of least resistance was simply to give up on NM.

[Bug 311581] Re: MASTER Network Manager integrated ppp support - should allow the configuration of dial up modems

2010-08-18 Thread daf
Mathieu, I understand that technology *can* have a role to play (though
I think that role is not as major as you might think here). I also
appreciate that this is a level-headed discussion. Please understand I
come from a place of passion about Linux-based operating systems, in
particular Ubuntu. If you don't mind a bit of a read (and I hope this is
a reasonable place to make this post) then please also understand that
my frustration stemmed from the following:

* _many_ 3G modems (and, with that term, I incorporate GPRS and EDGE, since the 
tech involved is often transparent to the user -- the modem is simply supplied 
by a wireless telecoms company on a contract basis) are correctly identified 
and work with the usb-serial kernel module, producing what, for all intents and 
purposes, looks "like" a serial modem to client apps. Even more of these modems 
can be "made to work" by getting their vendor/hardware id's forced at the time 
of module load -- not trivial for a newbie, but fairly simple to do (all things 
considered) when following some kind of instructions to edit default module 
parameters or try out with a modprobe line. The point is that as soon as 
usb-serial has recognised this device, the actual establishing of a connection 
via pppd is trival to script from a dev's point of view -- I would have 
expected the basics of ppp network setup to be available. In other words, the 
hardware here is not the issue. Whether you have a HUAWEI or a cheap Siemens 
modem, whether you use one of the zillions of phones out there which present a 
modem interface via cable, establishing a connection to the internet should be 
really simple with these devices -- and is, if you have a background in Linux 
networking. It's just that the common user is left out in the cold -- as is the 
lazy expert (:
* Even if ppp connections can't be configured through NM (as with wicd, another 
fine lan/wireless network helper), the problem remains that the client-space 
applications all believe NM on the opinion it has with respect to "being 
online". The general idea of being able to help the user with an online status 
is neat -- just not well thought-out if it doesn't cater for one of the most 
common methods for connecting to the internet -- most especially at the time of 
the original post and my "+1". Now that wireless routers and DSL are becoming 
more of the "norm", the importance of this issue may actually, if anything, be 
dwindling a little. But I would still count it as important.
* A larger issue is that gnome-ppp (or similar) isn't installed by default. NM 
is -- and could fill this gap. So the user gets a dvd/cd from a 
friend/colleague who is a FLOSS-pusher, installs (or hits the "try me out" 
option) and finds that something which was really trivial to do under her other 
installed OS is not immediately available to her -- and, as far as I can see, 
for no particularly good reason (yes, there's dev-time -- and yes, I should be 
putting my programming skills where my mouth is!) when the establishment of a 
ppp connection over a serial device has been the granddaddy of internet 
connection methods -- and typically something Linux-based systems actually do 
*better*: faster, better intrinsic hardware support (ie often no need to 
install extra 3rd-party drivers), more reliably -- in my opinion.
* NM offers "Mobile Broadband" and "DSL" connections but won't let the user 
tweak the devices to use -- it's just like NM is so close, but missing that 
crucial cigar -- and I can't rationalise why. Perhaps someone else can?

[Bug 311581] Re: MASTER Network Manager integrated ppp support - should allow the configuration of dial up modems

2010-08-17 Thread daf
The problem wasn't the 3G device. The problem was quite simply that I
couldn't instruct NetworkManager to start a ppp session with a serial
(in this case, usb-serial) modem. It doesn't matter what the underlying
tech of the modem was -- the initial bug report and the "me too" that I
chipped in were due to the issue of not being able to configure a good
old pppd session for a serial device, which wouldn't have been a problem
if there was just something as simple as a dialog which asks for the
device, dial number and user info. Do you understand the source of the
frustration? It's no biggie if *I* can configure via
/etc/network/interfaces, but my technophobe sister or mother wouldn't be
able to do that. An interface like that of gnome-ppp would have been
great since NetworkManager seemed to promise to be able to configure ALL
network interfaces and then just failed to deliver.

And, to be quite honest, for most people with 3G modems,
/etc/network/interfaces
_is_still_the_only_way_to_configure_pppd_for_that_interface_.

"NetworkManager will just ignore devices set in /etc/network/interfaces and 
assume they are UP"
Not when I used it. Hence my chipping in. Everything which was supposedly 
NM-aware was convinced that I was offline: pidgin, empathy, firefox.
FAIL.

Thanks Devarshi

It's just sad that it's taken almost TWO YEARS for such a basic
requirement to be taken seriously. In the mean time, I no longer use a
3G connection -- technology, it seems, advances quicker than those who
would program for it. I'm sure, however, that the general need for the
requirement hasn't gone away. Most especially because it could have just
been a wrapper around a shell-script using pppd or even a gksudo'd
interface to /etc/network/interfaces (which is pretty-much all I did to
solve my issue when I had it). Not rocket science and definitely a
stumbling block for adoption amongst the less tech-savvy masses,
especially in our netbook-hungry market, where 3G is a totally viable
option for getting online.

gvfs-backend version: 1.4.1-0ubuntu1
expected behaviour: copy as fast as if mounting via mount.cifs and copying to 
that mounted location
experienced behaviour: copying via gvfs was significantly slower (at best, 
around 40% the speed I could achieve via a mount.cifs call and copying into the 
mounted tree).

The ramble:

This looks a bit like #186461 but I hesitate to post there since that
bug was reported (and supposedly fixed) about 2 years ago, on a very
much older version of gvfs.

However, the numbers don't lie:

I have a wireless network at home which isn't the fastest in the world
considering that I have a lot of concrete between nodes. I recently got
a media player which has NAS functionality and had to wait approximately
72 hours for 160 gig to be copied down to it at the amazing rate of
about 500-700 KiB/s. I thought it was just my slow network until I tried
mounting the remote share into my local filesystem and copying that way
(through nautilus as well) -- for other reasons I wanted a permanent
mount instead of just using gvfs -- and found that I could consistently
copy at about 1.8MiB/s !

The only explanation I could have for this is a lot of small network
calls that gvfs is making which are latent -- hence sucking more over my
not-too-fantastic wlan.

1 is correct -- but it seems to be the same as 2 since the dvdrw was erased
from the right-click menu that pops up on the desktop in GNOME -- afaik,
this invokes brasero?
2 was for media that wasn't blank -- Nautilus correctly mounted the media
but brasero didn't seem to handle with the fact that the media was mounted
-- until I dismounted it myself. This problem is intermittent -- about 90%
of the time, brasero dismounts the media before writing -- just these few
times it's gotten "stuck"

Hm

I'm afraid I'm probably not as helpful here...

Well, for starters, I don't know if, by "at other times" you mean *any*
other occurrences -- in which case, I do remember the having this once
before, but I can't remember the exact circumstances. ): I've had a few
other oddities though:
I use a DVD+RW to watch avi content on a divx/xvid-capable dvd player in my
living room, so my habit is to start a new compilation, select burn, and
select "erase this disc" from the warning which pops up about the disc not
having enough space on it for my compilation. I've had the burn process just
halt there before (after "erasing", before starting data write), not
advancing, but I don't know if that's related because cancelling and
restarting the burn worked out OK. Also, this isn't the same "no disc"
behaviour, so probably not related...
I've also had the case where brasero hangs on a burn or refuses to see the
disc if it's mounted (and nautilus is auto-mounting as I insert) -- but
again, this isn't the same issue (and isn't reliably reproducible).
Also, I've noticed that the erase via this process is almost instantaneous
-- it used to take a couple of seconds (and, in fact, just blanking a disc,
without writing, does take a couple of seconds). The write does complete
though, so I'm assuming someone figured out a quicker method (such as just
ignore the discs contents and write over it forcibly or similar)

On the other hand, if you mean "does this happen when I blank other media,
such as CD-RW", I don't know -- the last time I blanked a CD-RW on my
machine was a very long time ago. I know I have one *somewhere* -- but not
100% sure where...

Sorry to not really be of much assistance ):

2010-01-30 Thread daf
As a followup:

After burning the same DVD+RW media with K3b, Brasero now recognises the
media and seems to want to allow me to burn onto it. I don't understand
what is so special about burning onto it with K3b. Blanking it under
Win7 with CDBurnderXP didn't change anything before this.

The only thing worse than an arbitrary bug is one which is not reliably
reproducible. Still, I'd appreciate any input.

2010-01-30 Thread daf
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: brasero

As of about yesterday, Brasero no longer recognises the DVD+RW drive (or
perhaps it's the media?) that I've been using for ages. I've installed
K3b, and that works just fine. This seems to have started since I
blanked a DVD+RW disc in the drive from right-clicking it on the desktop
and selecting "erase".

Win7 has no problem with the drive or media either.

I would gladly provide more information if anyone can tell me what would
be useful.

[Bug 508392] [NEW] compiz crashes regularly

2010-01-16 Thread daf
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

For about the last week, I have often come back to my machine after
leaving it for some time (screensaver has kicked in -- even perhaps the
powersaving on the monitor has kicked in) and I find that my GNOME
desktop has fallen back on the non-accellerated window manager. Running
compiz --replace restarts the window manager and I can carry on as per
usual.

I've never actually witnessed the crash -- I'm just assuming the crash
since I leave the machine with compiz running and come back to no
compiz.

This problem only started to manifest in the last week or so -- about
the amount of time since the last kernel update.

I'm running NVIDIA 195 drivers (I have a GTX260 which doesn't seem to
like the default 185 drivers: machine locks up a lot with that config,
especially if I run a GL-enabled app (ie, game) in Compiz). The 190
drivers were working well for me, but I tried updating to the 195
drivers to see if that was the issue -- the compiz crashes continue
however. I would appreciate any ideas on where to gather more
information to make this report more useful.

[Bug 454879] Re: Applications using libsdl1.2-alsa randomly use 100% cpu and have broken sound playback

2010-01-13 Thread daf
It might be worthwhile, since the Ubuntu devs are adamant that Ubuntu
users should be stuck with pulseaudio (which is horribly broken and
obviously can't emulate alsa like it should) to change package
dependencies for games like hedgewars to the pulse version of libsdl. I
mean, if you're going to force a point, force it all the way. Your
"average user" would try to install hedgewars and end up blaming the
game -- or worse, "Linux", saying that "Linux is broken".

All I'm saying is that there is perhaps a bug to log against the package
here: if Ubuntu is going to stay on the road of pulseaudio, perhaps the
install candidate for libsdl should be the pulseaudio one by default?

[Bug 421444] Re: Cannot find manual for System -> Administration -> Authorizations

2009-12-05 Thread daf
@Martin von Wittch: I beg to differ. This is quite a high bug since it
precludes simple things like CPU scaling and mounting/dismounting
internal drives without annoying authorisation requests. Something which
makes the user curse the desktop because it's difficult (or impossible,
for the layman user who is afraid of the console) because her life is
made more difficult for quite arbitrary "security" settings is quite
important -- most especially if that user had the ability to sort out
the issue in a prior release.

This is just one of the many scissor-stabs (deeper and deadlier than a
paper-cut) which is making the community start to wonder about the
direction that Ubuntu is going with the release of Karmic.

I've managed to make this problem go away by moving the following dirs and
letting them be re-created:

~/.local
~/.gconf
~/.gconfd

They were around from when I upgraded from Jaunty. I'll see if I can't
re-instate them and track down the issue. It's probably quite common for
people upgrading or installing new and re-using their old ~ dir.

[Bug 487229] Re: brasero stalls when attempting to write to mounted media

2009-11-23 Thread daf
It seems this may be related to all of the prior issues I've had with the 
upgrade to Karmic (and the subsequent reload with re-use of my ~): it seems 
that there's something problematic in my .gconf, .local or .gconfd from the 
Jaunty days which doesn't play nice with Karmic gnome stuff:
I backed up and removed all of these three and found that this problem, amongst 
others, seems to be gone now. Of course, I had to set up my desktop the way I 
like it again, but at least things all work.

I;m quite willing to provide the before and after snapshots of these
dirs in case anyone cares to track down the issue. I would imagine that
the issues I've had and the resolution I've had would be not dissimilar
to the issues and required resolution for so many people struggling with
the Jaunty to Karmic upgrade.

[Bug 487229] [NEW] brasero stalls when attempting to write to mounted media

2009-11-23 Thread daf
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: brasero

When attempting to re-write DVD+RW media that was automatically mounted
by Nautilus (I assume), brasero asks if the user would like to erase the
existing media. If the user accepts the erase, brasero stalls, leaving a
dialog on screen which states "getting size".

If I unmount the media first (eg, through nautilus), then brasero
performs the erase and goes on to do the write operation.

Expected: when asked if I would like to erase and re-write media, if I seleect 
"erase", the media should be automatically unmounted and erased.
Happened: brasero stalls, claiming that it's "getting size". The burn operation 
isn't even started.

[Bug 484941] [NEW] nvidia-glx-185 graphics corruption whilst using compiz and other gl-based apps

2009-11-18 Thread daf
Public bug reported:

hardware: XFX gtx260

nvidia-glx-180 used to work just fine under 9.04. Upgrade to 9.10 (and
finally, out of sheer frustration, re-install to 9.10) saw the
introduction of this bug. An application which makes use of GL under
Compiz causes graphics corruption and instability with Compiz. Certain
textures (read: most icons as well as some window internals, eg Firefox
page display) are replaced with corrupted messes instead of their
correct contents.

Originally, I figured this was a Compiz issue, but IT'S NOT. Upgrading my 
nvidia drivers to to version 190.42-0ubuntu1~karmic~nvidiavdpauppa2 by using 
the ppa at:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nvidia-vdpau/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
causes the problem to cease. I've been running these drivers for a little under 
a week and the corruption issue which would show up from a GL-based screensaver 
within a day of a X restart is no more. So I'm quite confident that the 185 
drivers in 9.10 at the moment (185.18.36-0ubuntu9) are the problem.

[Bug 438873] Re: Compiz crashes after leaving a fullscreen application

2009-11-15 Thread daf
Ok, so I can't install the 173 drivers -- which would explain why jocky
only gives me the option of the 185 drivers...

But the 190 drivers from the ppa mentioned at: http://www.ubuntugeek.com
/howto-install-nvidia-190-25-beta-drivers-in-ubuntu-
jauntyintrepidhardy.html are giving me more joy -- I left my machine for
the day and came back to *no* graphics corruption (something new for my
Karmic system). So perhaps the problem isn't compiz -- *perhaps* the
problem is just simply badly QA'd proprietary drivers with no backup to
previously known good drivers (ie, the 180 series).

[Bug 438873] Re: Compiz crashes after leaving a fullscreen application

2009-11-15 Thread daf
I would imagine that my problem is related here: the OpenGL screensaver
BlinkBox has, on numerous occasions, appeared to cause Compiz to freak
out and die after a period of usage (ie, not immediately when the
screensaver starts up, but after a while, when I come back to my
machine, it appears to be locked up). Sometimes I can get my machine
back into a decent state by turning off compiz and turning it back on
again. Sometimes X is so unresponsive that I have to restart gdm. Once,
the whole machine appeared to be completely locked up and I had to
reboot.

I didn't have this issue with Jaunty -- but it may be related rather to
the drivers? I've noticed some people having issues with the nvidia 185
drivers (and we can't install the previously working 180 drivers because
it's just a dummy package ):  ).

I'm about to try installing the 173 drivers to see if that fixes the
problem. Alternatively, I'll try the nvidia ppa with the latest beta
drivers (at my own risk, of course (:  )

[Bug 477820] [NEW] wicd post-install scripts fail if user already a member of netdev group

2009-11-07 Thread daf
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: udev

When installing wicd, the installer is asked what system users to add to
the netdev group. If a selected user already belongs to the netdev
group, the post-install scripts fail and the package is left in a broken
state. Attempting to reinstall causes the same error over and over.
Technically, the addition of the user to the group "fails" -- but it's
only because the user is already in the group.

The only workaround I've found is to manually remove the user from the
netdev group and re-run "apt-get install -f".

I noticed this during a dist-upgrade which had been interrupted by other
package installation failures, but it would also apply to anyone who did
something like:

apt-get install --reinstall wicd
1.6.1-3ubuntu1
(say after something in the package was accidentally deleted)

Source package: wicd
Package version: 1.6.1-3ubuntu1
Expected: installer shouldn't fail if the user(s) is/are already (a) member(s) 
of the netdev group -- installation should continue regardless.
Happened: users already in the netdev group which the post-install script tries 
to add to said netdev group cause the post-install scripts to fail and apt to 
believe that the package is not installed. The package will never be properly 
installed until there is a manual intervention to remove the user(s) from the 
netdev group and attempt the install again (dpkg --purge may also work -- I 
haven't tested this)

[Bug 466275] Re: After Jaunty upgrade to Karmic USB hard and flash drives don't automatically mount or appear anywhere

2009-11-07 Thread daf
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 463347 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/463347

I don't know if this is a proper dupe of #463347. The reporters there
are referring to udev issues, which, afaik, should end up with the
device nodes for the inserted media not being allocated?

I'm getting the same issue (with the same work-around: launch palimsest
and re-plug the external storage device -- I'm hoping this will work for
optical media too, since putting a DVD in my drive doesn't result in
something showing up in my Places menu, and double-clicking my drive in
the "Computer" view in Nautilus doesn't attempt to mount the drive
either), but I do see messages in dmesg referring to the device being
plugged in and a /dev/sdXN node being allocated to it. It's just not
showing up in Nautilus.

Dolphin, however, *does* show the device and will let me mount and
browse it. All of this makes me think the issue at hand here is not the
death of udev by fd leak, but something either in gvfs or nautilus.

[Bug 463347] Re: devices not detected -- too many open files

2009-11-07 Thread daf
I think there may be more than one cause for this problem. My udev isn't
showing mad numbers of fds left open (though the scripted test case to
reproduce the problem noted above by Martin Pitt *does* cause an
increase in open file handles for udevd).

WRT bug 466275, which has been marked as a potential dupe of this one, I
have the same experience -- running palimpsest causes the removable
drive, on next insert, to be recognised by gnome / gvfs / whatever is
ignoring the drive.

However, inserting the drive *does* produce device nodes -- and it's my
understanding that that is part of what udev does? If so, then there's
something else which is causing the drive(s) not to appear in the
Nautilus places bar. Interestingly enough, other file managers (Dolphin,
in particular), *do* see the drive as an unmounted volume which it will
mount when the item is clicked.

2009-11-02 Thread daf
I got the same problem.

Fortunately, I've had a little more experience with Debian (and hence,
the underlying Ubuntu subsystem).

Dropping to a console, repeated rounds of:

 apt-get dist-upgrade
 apt-get install -f

finally get you through. It really seems that the upgrade from 9.04 to
9.10, like a few other aspects of Karmic, was not tested. It's a sad day
when a Debian-based distro should rather be installed from scratch than
upgraded. I've taken Debian and Ubuntu systems through 4+ upgrade cycles
before -- hasn't been this rocky. Release should have been delayed
rather than unleashing an unfinished product.

I'll keep an eye out for it again. It was quite cut and dried: I renamed the

When attempting to burn a DVD via the burn:// resource in nautilus
(which spawns brasero), a filename containing a hash character ("#")
causes an error dialog with:

"{filename}" cannot be added to the selection:

[Bug 379659] Re: gnome-screensaver causes system hang

2009-05-23 Thread daf
My most humble apologies. The problem is NOT specific to gnome-
screensaver. XScreensaver exhibits the same problem -- it just took a
little longer.

"Blank Screen" still works. Bouncing Cow appears to work on a short
trial -- I'll leave it overnight to see if I can get it to fail as well.

At the moment, however, it seems that there is perhaps something wrong
with blinkbox for Jaunty 64bit. I'll update here when I have more info.

[Bug 379659] [NEW] gnome-screensaver causes system hang

2009-05-23 Thread daf
Public bug reported:

This is not a re-post of 341129 or 107504 (I've checked them out). One
refers to a problem during system suspend (my problem is on a desktop,
no suspend) and the other refers to bad NVidia drivers, which the rest
of my report should cancel out.

Gnome-screensaver was working OK for me with "blank screen". Switching
to "blinkbox", a fairly undemaning GL-pbased screensaver, causes the
system to hang completely when the screensaver is automatically invoked
at the timeout. Note that the setup and preview screens for this
screensaver worked fine. The problem is reproducable -- but it's quite
difficult to get any kind of logging when the only recourse was a
 reboot. Other GL-based apps work fine, and I'm running
Compiz. Also, replacing gnome-screensaver with xscreensaver and
selecting the same screensaver ("blinkbox") does not reproduce the
problem. The issue must therefore be something in gnome-screensaver.

The issue is a show-stopper. I can't seem to get out of the problem
without a hard or  reset.

[Bug 365856] [NEW] quick-lounge-applet starts up with no icons, unresponsive to clicks

2009-04-23 Thread daf
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: quick-lounge-applet

quick-lounge-applet installed and (after much hunting in the applets
list) added (one to each of my 2 panels) and configured to hold about 5
links each.

The oddity comes if I log out and back in again: the applets are still
on the panels (I can see the throbber/handle for each applet), but there
is no other indication that the applets are actually there (no icons /
arrow). Right-clicking on the throbber/handle does nothing: the
preferences dialog does not appear.

Restarting gnome-panel with a "killall gnome-panel" from a console
causes the applets to re-appear in working order.

I must admit that I am perhaps using the applet in an untested fashion:
I have them configured with max and min columns set to zero and rows set
to 1. I particularly wanted something which behaved a bit like the
drawer applet but which gave me a menu with text (which quick-lounge-
applet does, quite nicely), not just a selection of icons (as per the
drawer applet).

Please notify me if there is more information I can provide -- I know
that this report isn't exactly brimming with technical info or error
messages.

General requested information:
system: Ubuntu 9.04 64bit
package: quick-lounge-applet 2.13.1-0ubuntu1
expected: applet to start at login as it was configured
happened: applet appears with no icons and remains unresponsive until 
gnome-panel is restarted (and the applet obviously reloaded)

[Bug 316500] Re: WODIM refused to blank CD-RW media

2009-04-20 Thread daf
All I can say is "Huzzah".

Actually, I can say more. Something along the lines of "about time too".

Thomas: Sorry I couldn't provide more information. Please excuse the
acidity of my original posts. The first was out of sheer frustration and
the second was in response to a backhanded RTFM, which was not at all
called for.

I've upgraded to Jaunty recently. Brasero seems to be behaving at the
moment, obviously using wodim (according to the package depends at
least; though I *thought* that brasero levered off of libburn?). I hope
that the re-inclusion of cdrtools will provide much-needed stability and
functionality to other projects (eg libburn), or will just simply
replace them where possible (eg wodim -- no need to flog a dead horse
when you have a new one on hand).

CDRTools coming back to Debian and derivatives is a win for the users.

[Bug 311581] Re: MASTER Network Manager integrated ppp support - should allow the configuration of dial up modems

2009-04-09 Thread daf
This is quite an important "wish"

Not only does NetworkManager not provide an interface for ppp connection
configuration, but integration with GNOME doesn't pick up that a ppp
connection has been made. Thus all "aware" applications (firefox,
epiphany, pidgin come to mind) "think" that the user is offline. This is
confusing behaviour (in the least) for the user: she is online, but her
applications all tell her that she isn't. Not only that, but she had to
either install the old network-admin tool to actually configure the
connection (or she had to bribe a willing geek to do it for her).

To add insult to injury, the latest kernel build in Jaunty as of writing
(2.6.28-11-generic) has usbserial built as a module, so the exotic modem
(HUAWEI, or, the latest blossoming provider in .za, NeoTel) isn't
recognised and the module parameters that her geek friend set up for her
don't work any more. Now she has to learn how to hack the grub boot
parameters.

To be quite honest, including "detection for an online state" without
ppp support (the most common method for a home user to connect to the
internet) is a usability FAIL. This has to be sorted out before the
official Jaunty release if the community is not to alienate the less
tech-savvy of its user base.

On the same note, I would like to see the vendor/product ids for common
"exotic" usb modems included in the kernel, even if just by way of
Ubuntu patchset. These usbserial modems are common, like grasshoppers on
the savanna. People are getting them with cellphone contracts and newer
ISPs. The usbserial module is known to work with them. At what point
does someone add the trivial lines to the usbserial module code to
recognise these devices?

[Bug 346128] Re: "Error while burning: the file is not stored locally"

2009-03-26 Thread daf
I have the same issue. My .xsession-errors was rather large, so I
thought I would clear it out and reproduce the issue to get only the
relevant logs. Unfortunately, after clearing the file, nothing new is
added to it when I reproduce the issue. Note that I can reproduce the
issue whether I attempt to write to a disc or an iso image.

The error dialog does, however, have a log pane. Here's the output:

--- BEGIN LOG ---

burn.c:1956)

Looks, to me as if the intermediate iso image is not being generated... There 
are a bunch of /tmp/brasero_tmp_* dirs (probably one for each attempt I made), 
with nothing in them. I assume there should be something in them...

[Bug 316500] Re: WODIM refused to blank CD-RW media

2009-01-12 Thread daf
Thank you for pointing me at an old article about how to report bugs.
Fortunately for me, I am a software developer myself, and I have an
understanding of what is required to report a bug (and, sometimes, to my
delight, how to fix one too). Unfortunately for this bug report, I did
provide all of the information that I was privy to, with the knowledge I
had available to me.

I also bothered to read the Ubuntu Launchpad guidelines for reporting a
bug, hence the "Requested Info" section (which I thought was a bit
sparse, but hey, that's what was requested). Perhaps the Launchpad needs
a feature added: "how to get extra information pertaining to this
specific package which will help the developers to resolve your issue".
Obviously, this would be different for different packages. Once again,
despite your attempt at diplomacy, I don't appreciate a glossed-over
RTFM.

Thanks also for pointing me at the Ubuntu Code of Conduct, so that I may
remain more diplomatic in the face of adversity, though tuly the only
true disrespect was shown for the Nero development team, which is
neither here nor there in the scheme of this bug report. The rest is
true: wodim has provided endless issues for countless users, and
provided myself with a most impressive (but ultimately useless) stack of
shiny coasters in the past, and shown the ubiquitous desire to not
function at all until the path was paved by schily tools.

I can, however, glean the one item of actual value from your response:
what information would assist you in resolving this bug (running wodim
-dd -V). I certainly do understand the benefit of having more
information reported for the resolution of a bug. It would be super-cool
if that kind of requirement could have been presented to me at the time
of the bug report -- I might have actually provided it.

Should the problem recur, I will be most delighted to attach more
information. It might also be in the interests of the wodim development
team to examine Mr Schilling's work -- the problem in wodim might become
glaringly obvious. I have a feeling that the schily cdrecord prods the
drive in some way that wodim doesn't. Since wodim is just a fork from a
prior version, surely one could diff the two trees to find out what
cleverness Mr Schiling is up to (though he has alluded to permission
issues in online postings)? I know it's a tedious job, but the dividends
might be worth it.

If the above comments are too inflammatory, please just ignore them. I
have done my best to edit out some of my more biting comments, in the
interests of actually trying to achieve a constructive end-goal.

[Bug 316500] [NEW] WODIM is horribly broken -- seems Schily is right!

2009-01-12 Thread daf
Public bug reported:

What happened: WODIM refused to blank CD-RW media UNTIL i did so with official 
cdrtools from Schily.
What I expected to happen: I expected WODIM to blank and write my CD-RW's. 
Silly me.
How to repeat: Not sure. Since once using the offical cdrtools package, my 
problem seems to have vanished. To be honest though, I had some major issues 
trying to burn a CD-R the other day, and made a rather impressive selection of 
coasters. THANKS, WODIM.

The long story:

I've been reading up on the debate between Schily and the Debian dev
team -- I have to admit I was biased from the start, thinking that
Schily was just pompous twit. My most sincere apologies to Mr Schily.
WODIM, installed in Intrepid, refused to blank CD-RW media, alternately
claiming that the device was in use and that it was unable to open the
scsi bus. The device WASN'T in use (DEFINITELY NOT mounted, or anything
else running against it). Rebooting (hey, it fixes Windows ;p  ) didn't
help -- the problem persisted. Note that I also tried cdrskin, which is
supposed to be a thin wrapper aroung libburn, with the same results --
the device was permanently "locked". Note that this particular machine
has been upgraded (not reloaded) at least 3 times (7.10-8.04-8.10), that
I can remember. Perhaps more. And it's only been in 8.10 where this has
become an issue.

I downloaded Schily's 2.01.01a55 version of cdrecord, compile and
installed. K3b (yes, I use GNOME, but there is no burning GUI that I
have ever used (*nix or win32) which can compete with k3b, except
perhaps older versions of Nero (<6), before the dev team hired a pack of
turd-throwing, crack-smoking chimps to redesign what WAS a clear, usable
interface) picked it up without configuration (huzzah!), and I could
once again blank and write CD-RW media WITHOUT ISSUE. Oddly enough,
after having dispelled the bad juju, wodim decided to co-operate, and
will now blank and write CD-RW media. Not good enough for me -- I'm
leaving my Schily tools as the default in k3b.

Ubuntu already breaks the "total freedom" concept of Debian by providing
items such as the NVIDIA/ATI binary blobs and official Firefox artwork
(to name just the most commonly-known culprits). I have no problem with
this as it means that the average Joe user can get a working Linux
machine without having to rise to the status of 1337 h4x0r; this is good
for Linux and the user in general. My question then, is why are we still
subscribing to the broken wodim? I'm all for the Free alternative, but I
rather subscribe to Linus' approach: "free" or not, the BEST solution
always wins. And it's not like Schily's cdrtools isn't actually free --
it's just not GPL, but I have other licenses which live side-by-side on
my system (MPL, GPL, BSD, to name just a few). I just don't get how this
made it past QA (and I have a very high opinion of Ubuntu QA). For a
non-tech user out there, this would have been a show-stopper. A "switch
back to that crappy Other OS" moment.
