[Bug 273294] Re: Rhythmbox can not use smb:// as library location

I enabled the lucid-proposed repository and updated rhythmbox from there.
With the new package my samba share immediately started appearing in Rhythmbox!
Thanks for fixing this!

I just hit this autofs bug (connecting to a Solaris NFS server). I tried
restarting autofs but that didn't help. I thought I'd note this here as
I found that stopping and starting portmap allowed me to get into the
mounts I previously couldn't access, without rebooting the whole system.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid), here are the upstart commands to
stop and start portmap on lucid:

[Bug 405405] Re: [Koala] problem with sound in totem, rhytmbox, but no in firefoxes flash videos

2010-01-27 Thread darylb
I also had this issue because firefox had grabbed my sound device
directly, and other processes couldn't access it. Rhythmbox would appear
to play ok (debug output didn't think there were any problems), however
the track time would stay at 0:00 and nothing would play.

Firefox has sound device:

$ sudo fuser -v /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/* /dev/seq*
 USER PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/controlC0:  myusername   2307 F pulseaudio
/dev/snd/controlC1:  myusername   2307 F pulseaudio
/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p:   myusername   3074 F...m firefox

I used gstreamer-properties to change the default audio output from
Autodetect to PulseAudio Sound Server, restarted firefox, and
afterwards, firefox was using pulseaudio:

$ sudo fuser -v /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/* /dev/seq*
 USER PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/controlC0:  myusername   2307 F pulseaudio
/dev/snd/controlC1:  myusername   2307 F pulseaudio
/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p:   myusername   2307 F...m pulseaudio

Rhythmbox is also now able to play audio as the same time as firefox.

[Bug 422451] [NEW] pulseaudio crashes at pa_cvolume_compatible when starting skype call

2009-09-01 Thread darylb
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pulseaudio

I was trying out Skype 2.1.0.47 on Ubuntu Karmic (up to date as of
today, 1st Sept 2009), but trying a test call did not work, and
pulseaudio crashed. The problem seems to happen every time I try.

I expected to be able to hear a voice on the test call, and then record
and hear my own voice as is usual with Skype test calls.

What happened was I heard the noise that indicates a call is starting,
but the test call voice never appeared. After that Skype would not
respond to me asking it to quit (via the GUI), I had to pkill -3 skype
to kill it.

This is the last few lines of the log of pulseaudio -vv (which is
attached in full):

D: module-suspend-on-idle.c: Source alsa_input.pci-_00_1b.0.analog-stereo 
becomes busy.

E: source.c: Assertion 'pa_cvolume_compatible(volume, s-sample_spec)' failed

[Bug 386821] Re: memory leak when creating big read-write partition

2009-08-21 Thread darylb
I can confirm the same issue. I created a USB stick with a 700MB
persistence file. I was creating a USB stick using the
ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso file. I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 and my usb-
creator package is version 0.1.16

My system also got quite slow, and I could hear a lot of swapping going
on. I discovered that dd was consuming 700MB of RAM. I've attached my
.usb-creator.log as usb-creator-daryl.log. The most interesting
lines follow. It looks like dd is being told to write 1 single block
which is 700MB in size.

Re: [Bug 353126] Re: Compiz / vnc screen refresh with nvidia-restricted driver/VirtualBox/ATI fglrx driver

2009-05-22 Thread darylb
As I understand it from the status page, only the vino task is marked Fix
released, which is simply a workaround in vino.
The status for compiz and xorg server (where the root of the problem
actually lies) are both marked as confirmed, so these issues are still
open.

From the comments on the upstream freedesktop bug, it appears the issue has
been fixed in the latest development versions of the drivers/xorg:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12255

When these will appear in ubuntu though is what we are interested in of
course.

Hi Alberto, I have tried the new version. It fixes the tap delay for me.
However the right edge for vertical scrolling is still much too wide. On
my Vaio, vertical scrolling works all the way from the right edge to the
middle of the right hand button under the pad. Here is a picture of the
laptop to show what I mean:

Nicolo: How do you change the value? Perhaps I can play with it and come up
with a number that works better on my laptop.
Regarding the cursor speed I have been playing around with the speed
settings in the mouse control panel so I'm not sure I can objectively
compare them (I'm not sure how to set it back to default). I thought it was
too slow before though so if this update has made it slightly faster then I
would agree its an improvement.

2009-02-27 Thread darylb
RightEdge=895 doesn't cause any problems for me. I'd actually go so far as
910 though. With 910 my finger needs to be almost touching the right edge
(but not quite touching the edge) for it to work. With 895 the gap to the
edge can be even larger. In my opinion your finger should touch or almost
touch the edge for scrolling to work. However if it is likely to cause
problems with other touchpads, 895 is definately an improvement over the
previous settings. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/320632

Alberto,

That works now! I tested vertical and horizontal scrolling and both work.
The active area on the right of the touchpad for vertical scrolling though
is about 1.5 times as wide as it needs to be for a finger. I can leave a
good gap on the right of my finger and still scroll. This is not how it was
in Intrepid.

Thanks,
Daryl

[Bug 44058] Re: suspend when closing laptop lid doesn't work

2009-02-26 Thread darylb
I found a possible workaround here:
http://xgwang.wordpress.com/2007/11/26/close-the-lid-suspend-to-memory-on-thinkpad-x40-andubuntu-gutsy/

Basically change action=/etc/acpi/lid.sh to action=/etc/acpi/sleepbtn.sh
in /etc/acpi/events/lidbtn

However, it does not work for me. I'm using a Sony Vaio VGN-SZ71WN.
If I run sudo /etc/acpi/sleepbtn.sh manually the laptop suspends, but simply 
closing the lid does not trigger this.
I changed the action to a different script as a test and it also was not 
executed.

I have confirmed that the lid close is being detected somehow. 
/proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state is getting updated.
I ran the following script to print out the lid open/closed status once a 
second, and closed the lid and opened it a few times. The output was correct, 
the lid was reported as closed at the relevent times.

  while true; do cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state; sleep 1; done

So ACPI seems to know that the lid is being closed and opened, but
nothing is happening as a result.

I also found the following file, /etc/acpi/events/sony-sleep, which
calls the correct suspend script (/etc/acpi/sleepbtn.sh) already,
however it is listening for an ACPI key event. When I run acpi_listen
and close and open my lid, nothing is logged.

  r...@lappy:/etc/acpi/events# cat sony-sleep 
  # /etc/acpi/events/sony-sleep
  
  event=sony/hotkey SPIC 0001 000b
  action=/etc/acpi/sleepbtn.sh 

It seems to me there are two possible ways for ACPI to suspend the
laptop, either the /etc/acpi/events/lidbtn script, or (in my case)
/etc/acpi/events/sony-sleep. Neither are working!

I'm using Ubuntu Jaunty by the way.

2009-02-25 Thread darylb
Hi Alberto,

I have installed your package. I actually found on doing so that no previous
version of that package was installed on my Jaunty system (a Sony Vaio
VGN-SZ71WN). I'm not sure if it should have been there and wasn't added when
I installed Jaunty (the 2/2/09 nightly I believe).

After installing your package and logging out and into gnome again, I find
that the mouse preferences screen now has a third tab touchpad again, and
tap to click is working.

Vertical scrolling is also working but only to a small degree. It does not
work every time. I'm finding it hard to get it to work now actually.
Pressing very hard does not seem to help the situation.

On Jaunty with latest updates I now get 9 steps for the backlight with the
Fn key combination.
When I installed (Alpha 3) there were only 5 steps, so some update changed
it.
9 steps (while an odd number) is working a lot better now, and much more
usable because the difference between the steps is not so drastic.
I think its working very well now.

Perhaps the proper way to get the hal changes in is by submitting a
patch to the hal and hal-info packages, or indeed upstream. The hal-info
package is definitely where the
/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-sony-laptop-panel-mgmt-

I don't think a new separate package is the best answer.

[Bug 180362] Re: mplayer plugin firefox only produces sound in active window

2008-12-05 Thread darylb
Hi, I have reproduced this issue with mozilla-mplayer 3.55-1ubuntu2 on Ubuntu 
8.10 with the listen live link from this page:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/
The link opens a small popup window with a player in it. If I hide this window 
behind another firefox window, the sound stops completely. It comes back 
however if you bring the iPlayer Radio Console window to the front again.

This seems to work as a workaround: In GNOME, right click on the window
title and select Always on Top, then minimise the window. Minimising
the window on its own may actually be enough.

Piggy-backing on this bug because this is basically a request to uprev ubuntu's

Support for the IRman receiver device is also broken in the version in Intrepid

My xorg.conf actually specifies vesa. Is this done by the installer due
to running the installer in safe graphics mode? In any case there is an
issue with the graphics when running the LiveCD, which may be the reason
I'm loading vesa now and not intel. This is a separate bug however.

[Bug 258884] [NEW] [intrepid] intel 965 not recognised by LiveCD/installer

2008-08-17 Thread darylb
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Using the Intrepid Alpha 4 LiveCD on my Vaio VGN-SZ71WN, the display
comes up black at GDM stage. Ctrl-Alt-F1 causes some flickering of the
backlight, but no prompt comes up, the screen remains black.

Using the safe graphics mode of the LiveCD allowed me see the screen
(although the resolution was recognised by VESA as 1024x600 instead of
1280x800). I than installed to disk and installed all updates.

However still now when booting from the hard disk I am getting the same
small resolution in the middle of the screen and its using the VESA
driver rather than the intel one. Attempting to switch xorg.conf from
vesa to intel didn't help either.

I then noticed some settings on the grub kernel line:
title   Ubuntu intrepid (development branch), kernel 2.6.26-5-generic
root(hd0,8)
kernel  /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-5-generic 
root=UUID=34dd755c-709a-4ee3-a4a5-f2e2f30d6587 ro xforcevesa quiet splash 
initrd  /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-5-generic
quiet

Most notably xforcevesa. Is this put in place purely because the
LiveCD was booted in safe graphics mode? This xforcevesa setting is
also found on the # kopt= line.

Removing xforcevesa quiet splash from the end of the boot line in grub
allowed me to boot up and correctly use the intel driver.

So the driver works, but Xorg seems unable to detect and configure it
correctly.

I have learned some new information. Removing only xforcevesa from the
grub line still produces the failure case.

Removing just splash however seems to make it work, so this is
possibly nothing to do with the xforcevesa option after all. Although
I'm still not sure why that has been put there is there in the first
place.

Note that this testing is with the driver manually changed from vesa
to intel in the xorg.conf file. The installer hard coded vesa in
there which is obviously still an issue.

This seems to be a somewhat intermittent problem. I rebooted the laptop
a few times (with xforcevesa quiet splash still in menu.lst) and it
worked once. However on reboot I got the black screen again and had to

It fails FAR more than it succeeds though (without changing the grub line).
