[Bug 198494] Re: lucid can't use bluetooth headset

2010-05-25 Thread karlbowden
I'm happy to say that my bluetooth headset is working great with Lucid.
I only just purchased one again as I have not had one for the last
couple of Ubuntu releases.

I have not tried the command line tools for connecting to the headset,
but the gui bluetooth / pulseaudio tools included detect, connect and
work with the headset. It only appears as a mono device, and works great
with skype too. (While the battery lasts).

I'm using a BlueAnt Z9i v1.1 headset with a Dell 355 Bluetooth adapter.

2010-04-10 Thread karlbowden
I might also add that I am seeing the same thing with the nouveau driver and 
subpixel hinting enabled, and when I switch to the closed nvidia driver I'm not 
sure how to describe it but in openoffice and gvim I am seeing blocky font 
corruption when subpixel hinting is enabled.
If I switch back to best contrast, everything returns to normal.
See attached screen shots.

[Bug 358205] Re: Laptop (Dell XPS-M1210) monitor flickers using nvidia-180.xx drivers

2009-04-24 Thread karlbowden
I upgraded to Ubuntu-9.04 before I could test this again sorry. I did a clean 
install and enabled the nvidia-glx-180 driver without any of the side effects I 
encountered previously. I think it's fair to say that this was just an anomaly 
with my system and the bug can be marked as invalid.
Cheers,
Karl

[Bug 358205] [NEW] Laptop (Dell XPS-M1210) monitor flickers using nvidia-180.xx drivers

2009-04-08 Thread karlbowden
Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 8.10-amd64
~/ lspci | grep -i nvidia
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G72M [GeForce Go 7400] 
(rev a1)

Using ubuntu nvidia-glx-180.11 or PPA driver nvidia-
glx-180.29-0ubuntu1~andersk1~intrepid1

I do not have any problems with drivers 173 or 177, Only 180's. Have
tried 180.11 and 180.29

I have a laptop with an external monitor that I use in twinview. When I
upgraded to 180.11 and rebooted the laptop screen flickers like when
interlacing is enabled on CRT monitors. Only once X starts, and only on
the laptop screen. The external screen is crystal clear. It's like the
lines have all been shifted up half a line, and they are slightly fuzzy
but still readable. It's just hard on the eyes. Not sure how else to
describe it.

The laptop screen also appears like it is limited in the number of
colours it displays compared to the external monitor as the gradient
background image appears to have bands through it instead of being sooth
like on the other monitor.

It happens with both of the 180 series drivers I tried. It also happens
when the external monitor is disconnected.

I have tried deleting /etc/X11/xorg.conf and running nvidia-xconfig but
it still produces the same problem.

It will go away if I go into nvidia-settings and change any setting
related to the laptop screen. Ie, set refresh rate to auto instead of
60hz or vice versa and hit apply. The screen will flash black for a
second the become crystal clear again. Until I restart X again.


Anything else I can try?

[Bug 236171] Re: gnome-keyring-daemon and Evolution cause 100% CPU usage

2008-06-23 Thread karlbowden
I have been noticing the same issue since I shifted to a fresh install of Hardy.
I notice the issue ONLY if:
I have not set a Global Address List server name in the Exchange preferences AND
Autocomplete is ticked for Global Address List.

It seems it is trying to frantically to contact a GAL server, but not
told it what server to contact.

Once I either turn off Autocomplete for GAL or tell it what GAL it seems
happy. I still have ramdom crashes on starting to compose a new email,
but very infrequently now.

I have noticed that the Autocomplete for GAL turns itself on
automatically if I change the Exchange server preferences, and must
check it when I restart Evolution to ensure it does not over consume.

I am not sure if the bug should be with Autocomplete, evolution-exchange
or gnome-keyring though.

[Bug 198494] Re: can't use bluetooth headset

2008-04-02 Thread karlbowden
According to this email in the bluez-utils mailing list the is a know
problem with 2.6.24 kernels and there is a patch to fix the broken eSCO
support for bluetooth 1.2 headsets.

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bluez.user/13675

I have not tried this patch as i'm not sure of the process of building a new 
deb with this patch included.
I am running hardy amd64 if someone wants to build a kernel or module for me to 
try...

I have two usb bluetooth adaptors and two headsets. I know one adaptor
supports v2.0+EDR, the other is builtin to the laptop. I get the same
errors with both adaptors and headsets.

[Bug 144631] Re: xen guest hangs after mounting filesystem

2007-12-16 Thread karlbowden
Is anybody still having trouble with this?
The only two files I needed to change were:

append to > /etc/xen-tools/xm.tmpl 
extra   = ' xencons=tty console=tty1'

append to > /usr/lib/xen-tools/gutsy.d/15-disable-hwclock
rm -f ${prefix}/etc/init.d/hwclock.sh ${prefix}/etc/init.d/hwclockfirst.sh 
${prefix}/etc/udev/rules.d/85-hwclock.rules
chmod -x ${prefix}/lib/udev/set_hwclock

For xm.tmpl you can either add that line so that xen uses tty's again or
you can edit all the tty1 references to be xvc0 in the domU filesystem.

(Btw, damn the hours of heartache for finding the three lines to add)

[Bug 116714] Re: pppoeconf's generated /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/0clampmss can remove the wrong iptables rules

2007-12-08 Thread karlbowden
if you pipe the output to 'sort -r' it will reverse the order of the line 
numbers and remove them correctly.
I have also had to add and export PPP_IFACE line /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/0clampmss 
as it was just removing the first line it found that contained clamp.
My resulting edited file looks like:

#!/bin/sh
# Disable MSS clamping (autogenerated by pppoeconf)
export PPP_IFACE
iptables -t mangle -L -n -v --line-numbers | grep "TCPMSS.*$PPP_IFACE.*clamp" | 
cut -f1 -d " " | sort -r | xargs -n1 -r iptables -t mangle -D FORWARD

I do not know how to get these changes into pppoeconf though.

[Bug 59695] Re: default value in power.sh potentially kills laptop disks

2007-10-28 Thread karlbowden
I have a 4 month (approx) old Dell XPS M1210 running Gutsy now. It has never 
run anything other than Ubuntu.
193 Load_Cycle_Count0x0012   062   062   000Old_age   Always   
-   386280

My biggest concern with this not being marked as critical is that I have
changed EVERY setting in the bios and it still increases at 4 per
minute. And there are no settings in the gnome power management
preferences.

If I do not at least get a standard control to reduce this rate I dont
think I will have any choice but to keep trying distros until I find a
more hdd friendly one. But then again, I have still not seen it do any
damage to any old hard drives i've been running though.

I'm happy enough adding in extra power management scripts as long as it
dosent get interfered with on a apt-get upgrade.

[Bug 112611] Re: ipt_connmark is broken

2007-09-27 Thread karlbowden
Yip, I found Ubuntu's support for questionably bleeding edge software
supprisingly good too. Just look at compiz and usplash when they first
came to light.

I'd just put this one down to a bug.

Good to see it fixed in the current Gutsy kernel now.

Cheers guys.

[Bug 112611] Re: ipt_connmark is broken

2007-08-15 Thread karlbowden
So how do we go about getting this fixed then?
I can confirm that the above change mentioned by saresca is all that I need to 
do before compiling kernel modules to get the module I need. I do not know 
where to start in making a patch for the kernel package though.
The module is about 4.0k after compiling and striping and I know that I have 
seen stability issues in the past for this module, but that was a long time ago 
(couple of years). So I dont think size or stability are the issue. It's should 
now just be a matter of getting someone to accept a patch for the kernel.
I do sorely miss this module from Debian.
