[Bug 1178024] Re: Synaptic locks up during use

2013-05-24 Thread kmb42vt
The reports of Synaptic 0.80~exp2 freezing seem to be consistent for
Ubuntu Raring and Linux Mint 15 RC although it appears that not all
users are experiencing the freeze. What is not consistent is the reason
for the freeze although there is more than one report stating that the
the searching for and/or installing packages causes Synaptic to freeze
hard. A couple other reports state that the freeze occurs when scrolling
through search results using the keyboard arrow keys but not with a
touch pad or mouse scroll wheel. This is what causes the freeze for me
and I can duplicate it successfully.

Starting Synaptic (successfully) from the terminal using the command
"gksu synaptic", doing a "Quick search" and scrolling back and forth
through the search results using the arrow keys freezes Synaptic hard
and gives me this in the terminal repeatedly (repeats about every second
or two):

"widget == NULL with: label_source"

I have to forcibly quit Synaptic but this does not return the command
prompt to the terminal which keeps repeating "widget == NULL with:
label_source". I have to CTRL+C to return the terminal to the command
prompt.  If I try restart to restart Synaptic via the terminal it fails
with this:

"Another synaptic is running. Trying to bring it to the foreground"

Yet under "Processes" tab of "System Monitor", no Synaptic process is
shown. Entering "sudo killall synaptic" in the terminal apparently kills
this wayward synaptic process and I can restart Synaptic successfully.
Doing the same Quick search and scrolling through the search results
using the scroll wheel of the mouse and the touch pad of my laptop
(ThinkPad R61) does not reproduce the freeze while scrolling with the
arrow keys does.

The key difference here is that scrolling through the packages with the
arrow keys highlights each package in sequence while scrolling with the
mouse wheel of touch pad does not.

Hope this info helps.

[Bug 780845] Re: Google Earth 6 application fonts not following system settings

2011-05-18 Thread kmb42vt
Heh, that's about what I figured after digging into the problem. It's
just strange that the problem doesn't exist in Google Earth 5.1 which
was downloaded from the 'Julia' import section of packages.linuxmint.com
although I believe that build originally came from the Medibuntu
repository back when they built Google Earth for Ubuntu which they no
longer do. Thanks for looking into it, Clem.

Sorry for the double post. I accidentally hit the  key at the
beginning and didn't realize I could edit  the original description.
Sorry, late night.

** Tags removed: earth fonts google katya rc

** Description changed:

  Testing Linux Mint Katya RC amd64
+ 
+ After installing Google Earth 6 I noticed the application fonts are not
+ following system font settings like Google Earth 5.1 did in Linux Mint
+ 10. The application fonts in Google Earth 6 are small, faded and jagged
+ which make them barely readable. To make sure it was the program itself
+ and not Linux Mint 11 RC, I removed Google Earth 6 via Synaptic (and
+ then ran "sudo apt-get autoremove" in the terminal to remove associated
+ dependencies) then downloaded Google Earth 5.1 directly from...
+ 
+ http://packages.linuxmint.com/list.php?release=Julia
+ 
+ ...and installed via Gdebi. The application fonts in this older version
+ of Google Earth conform to system font settings and are very readable
+ just like they were in Linux Mint 10. Please see the two screen shots of
+ GE 6 and GE 5.1 (both taken in Linux Mint 11 RC) which show the
+ different font renderings rather clearly.
+ 
+ Since it's pretty obvious that Google Earth 6 is built differently for
+ Linux Mint than Google Earth 5 was and has different dependencies than
+ version 5 did I'm wondering if perhaps something was missed during the
+ build that would hook it into the (Ubuntu) cairo2 libraries? I'm not a
+ programmer so I can't really take this any further but I would be glad
+ to help test possible solutions.

[Bug 652916] Re: ubiquity-dm crashed with ValueError in command(): invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''

2011-03-08 Thread kmb42vt
This ubiquity crash also happened to me while attempting to install
11.04 alpha 3 64 bit (desktop) to a test partition on my hard drive.
Please note that 11.04 alpha 2 installed without a problem. I reposting
my comments and bug report from Bug #730220.

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Ubiquity crashed during install of Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) alpha 3.
Manual partitioning setup to sda2 single partition set as "/" with grub2
installed to sda2 as well (triple boot system with Linux Mint 10's grub2
installed in MBR). This type of install worked with 11.04 alpha 2--no
installer crashes. Am not able to install alpha 3 due to Ubiquity
crashing during install.

Additional information to initial report: (All 3 install attempts were
clean installs)

Attempted installation of 11.04 alpha 3 was to an already created test
partition (sda2) which I initially install 11.04 alpha 2 (and other past
distros as well). During install of alpha 3 I chose to specify
partitions manually and pointed the alpha 3 install to sda2, mounted as
"/" and formatted as ext4. The installer (Ubiquity) crashed in the same
place during 3 different install attempts; approx. half-way through
"Installing system" after all files were copied and all packages were
downloaded.

The first install attempt was set to download upgrades and install 3rd
party software and not to transfer any data from the 2 other distros I
have installed on the same hard drive. Installer crashed.

The 2nd and 3rd install attempt was set to not download any upgrades but
to install 3rd party software and to not transfer any data from my other
OSs. These are the same settings as I used when I successfully installed
alpha 2. Installer crashed the same way each attempt as well.

***

Update: Downloaded another 11.04 alpha 3 64-bit (desktop) .iso from the
main link on the Natty alpha 3 page and burned to CD, md5 checksums
match. Installer crashed as initially described in this bug report.
Cannot install alpha 3.

***

As a redundancy check I re-installed alpha 2 using the exact same
parameters as I used for alpha 3 above and alpha 2 installed
successfully the first time. For both alpha 2 and 3 installation was
started when prompted to "Try Ubuntu" or "Install", choosing to install
rather than letting the Live session desktop fully load. One difference
I noticed right off was when the "Try" or "Install"prompt came up the
upper "panel" was fully loaded in alpha 2 and was not loaded at all in
alpha 3.

I've downloaded alpha 3 .iso twice now from the second link from the top
of the "Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) Alpha 3" page under the "Desktop
CD" section: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/natty/alpha-3/

Note: I had attempted to post the /var/crash/"ubiquity crash log" with
the initial bug report but the live session wouldn't submit it and the
log was no longer there when I checked the above directory from one of
my other installed distros (Linux Mint Debian).

[Bug 395470] Re: nautilus does not recognize music cd

2010-04-07 Thread kmb42vt
I'm currently testing 10.04 beta 1 and have encountered something of the
same problems not only with an audio CD but any CD/DVD (movie, audio or
data). Insert a CD/DVD of any type into either of my optical drives (one
burner and one player) and the respective drive disappears completely
from Nautilus. Eject the disc and the drive reappears in Nautilus.

This did not occur in 9.10 and doesn't occur in Linux Mint 8.

Out of curiosity I booted the same machine using the Ubuntu 10.04 beta 1
Live CD (that I burned on this same machine using Brasero in Linux Mint
8) and the same problem occurs.
