[Bug 644644] Re: Frequent PA crashes during playback - pa_stream_cork() failed: Connection terminated and pa_stream_writable_size(): Connection failed

2011-01-24 Thread e_james
EeePC 901, Ubuntu 10.10

I'm a newcomer to linux and there is much I don't understand but I do
have some computer skills and I have noticed that no-one has mentioned
audio sampling rate. When I discovered this problem and looked for a
solution I found that some video files will play properly and some
won't. So I did some experiments with the following results.

Any file where the audio is mp3 or aac or ac3 with a sampling rate of
22.05 kHz will play in Totem without problems.

Any file where the audio is mp3 or aac or ac3 with a sampling rate of 24
kHz will fail to play in Totem with the error messages described above.

Since 44.1 kHz or 22.05 kHz seems to be the accepted standard in North
America, I suspect that someone wrote a piece of code which, in effect,
assumes that the sampling rate can only be 44.1 kHz or 22.05 kHz. Many
years ago I made a similar mistake and trashed an operating system.

Unfortunately for me, the majority of my video files use mp3 at 24 kHz
because I have found that 22.05 kHz doesn't sync properly with the
video. I believe that it's something to do with the PAL TV standard in
Europe.

2010-01-19 Thread e_james
Please excuse my mistake. The trouble with following a defined path is
that you often find the path you end on is not the one you thought you
were taking at the start. Specifically - when I decided to revise the
content of my report, I should have started again with a new title.

[Bug 509748] [NEW] firefox stops working properly after several days continuous use

2010-01-19 Thread e_james
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

According to Synaptic I have Firefox 3.5 installed, according to Firefox
it's 3.0. Bug numbers #338785 and #120991 also appear to be relevant. I
routinely run the the computer continuously for several days. The most
common reason for a restart is a Firefox crash. I thought it was only MS
Windows that didn't understand "Restart later".

[Bug 14135] Re: Grub Install Failure

2009-12-17 Thread e_james
I suspect that the backup CDs did a Windows restore and not an install.
If you had installed Windows XP, it should have eliminated Grub. There
are ways of restoring the Windows boot process. Have a look at some of
these.

[Bug 14135] Re: Grub Install Failure

2008-02-06 Thread e_james
Based on the error messages I have seen so far I have come to some provisional 
conclusions.
1. grub is not comfortable with the ubuntu strategy of using UUID instead of 
/dev/hdax.
2. The default grub behaviour of assuming (hd0,0) after the kernel isn't found 
tends to hide errors if (hd0,0) is actually valid.
3. The ubuntu grub installer needs some work.
