Thanks for the blunt but effective script.
Hope this spanner in the works is fixed soon. Glad to see the importance is 
high.

Except that...my Logitech webcam no longer appears as an audio input
option in sound settings after a reboot. It does appear if I unplug and
replug the webcam. So it boots but to use Skype still requires manual
intervention.

[Bug 1005138] [NEW] Disk Utility starts partitions at sector 63

2012-05-27 Thread trader...@yahoo.co.uk
Public bug reported:

This is my second attempt to log a bug report. Grr.
And why doesn't this form accept Disk Utilty or palimsest as the package name?


Disk Utility starts the first partition on an MBR formatted disk at sector 63. 
This is a problem because:

1) There is not enough room for Grub if the OS is installed on RAID and LVM
2) Causes partition misalignment with physical sectors for modern disks
3) Causes partition misalignment with erase blocks on SSDs
4) Windows now defaults to sector 2048 so Disk Utility is behind the times
5) I cannot find any way to change this in Disk utility
6) Disk utility is the dfeault GUI partition editor in Ubuntu

I would expect Disk Utility to start the first partition at logical
sector 1024 or 2048.

[Bug 802153] Re: old /wrong starting sektor on new harddrives with 4k

2012-05-27 Thread trader...@yahoo.co.uk
Disk Utility starts the first partition on an MBR formatted disk at
sector 63. This is a problem because:

  1) There is not enough room for Grub if the OS is installed on RAID and LVM
  2) Causes partition misalignment with physical sectors for modern disks
  3) Causes partition misalignment with erase blocks on SSDs
  4) Windows now defaults to sector 2048 so Disk Utility is behind the times

  6) Disk utility is the default GUI partition editor in Ubuntu

  I would expect Disk Utility to start the first partition at logical
  sector 1024 or 2048.

I beg to differ that this has low importance. It can lead a user to not
being able to reboot their system after an upgrade to 12.04 because the
Grub core.img is so huge it no longer fits within 62 sectors if the
system has RAID and LVM.

THIS WAS REPORTED 1 YEAR AGO and STILL PERSISTS IN UBUNTU 12.04 Good
grief.

Presumably this is an easy peasy fix so just do it, please, and release
an update.

Thanks for responding to this report so swiftly.

I was just curious as to where the issue resided. Is the grub.cfg stanza
syntax erroneous or is it correct and some downstream function at fault?

This does not cause a boot failure because, it seems, the subsequent
search line does find the kernel files. But if that search line is
commented out the boot fails.

[Bug 794963] [NEW] madam allows growing an array beyond metadata size limitations

2011-06-09 Thread trader...@yahoo.co.uk
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mdadm

It is possible to command mdadm to grow an array such that the array space on a 
component partition exceeds the maximum size writeable in metadata 0.90 format, 
which is just over 2TB (4 bytes representing sector size).  When told to do 
this, mdadm appears to do it without error and writes a bogus sector count into 
the 4 byte container in the super-blocks. Now the system operates with the 
over-enlarged array without apparent issue but only until the next reboot when 
the system is told the array size based on the superblock value. User data 
becomes inaccessible/LVMs don't mount with seemingly no way to recover the 
inaccessible data.
Obviously, mdadm should refuse to grow the array size beyond the size 
restriction of its own metadata.
Seen using mdadm - v2.6.7.1 - 15th October 2008 and Ubuntu server 10.04 64-bit

[Bug 791181] [NEW] Remote desktop problem with Natty Narwhal

2011-06-01 Thread trader...@yahoo.co.uk
Public bug reported:

remote VNC server: Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit desktop using Unity
local VNC client: Ubuntu 10.04.2 64-bit desktop

Server is running a remote desktop using tightvncserver. Client is
viewing the desktop using vinagre. Whenever the client presses the 'd'
key all remote desktop display windows minimize. This makes remote admin
impossible because the sudo command can never be used.

Work-around: on the server, disable the default Keyboard Shortcut that
sets 'D' for minimizing/maximizing all windows.

I gather that when using remote desktop the server should not interpret
all 'd' key presses as shortcuts.

I have also reproduced this on Natty in VirtualBox, using its own
vinagre to view its own localhost:1 tightvncserver.

I have Ubuntu 10.0.4.1 server 64 bit
Same problem - remotely logged in using tightvncserver/vino and when I press 
the Backup Now button the GUI freezes. The backup appears to have been done 
although the resulting files seem a little large - 162G backup of a 75G 
filesystem(?). I haven't checked what it stored.

Anyhow, I managed to kill the process from the command line with: sudo
kill -9

Oops...my previous post was a little incorrect. I did ask it to back up
a lot more than 75G so I have no reason to believe its backup process is
faulty. I had not used sbackup until today. Only the freezing GUI is a
definite fault.

[Bug 574693] Re: nautilus ftp file transfer hangs in lucid

2010-06-27 Thread trader...@yahoo.co.uk
Hi. I can reproduce this hang too. In fact, I first experienced it in
9.04 and reported it. But in 10.04 it is even worse! At least in 9.04 it
was possible to kill the Nautilus process and stop the file transfer;
now I cannot stop it. Nautilus becomes a Zombie process. Unplugging my
LAN cable stopped it...until I plugged it back in again.

I do not understand why this fault does not have a HIGH priority. I
would have expected any OS problem that requires a reboot to fix would
be unacceptable to the Ubuntu developers.


My situation is a 10.04 Desktop 64-bit client with a OpenVPN tun tunnel to a 
10.04 Server. I use the Places menu to create an SSH connection to the server 
and get a file browser window. I then drag and drop a 160MB CD iso file on to 
the server browser window. The File copy window appears but starts off with its 
progress bar 2/3 complete and remains there. The file transfer actually starts 
up and data is transferred over the LAN (as shown by System Monitor). But at 
the far end (viewed using a separate SSH terminal login)  the file size seems 
to be way to big from the start and doesn't change. Nothing happens when I 
click the red X on the transfer window or try to close it. Killing the Nautilus 
process does not stop it and the process is shown as zombie. I could not kill 
the vsftp process on the server (I assume this is the receiving process). I 
could find no way of stopping the determined LAN activity without restarting. 
Even then, the restart froze up during theboot and I had to pull the plug and 
start over.

THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM for those of us managing remote servers and
trying to do large file transfers.

Brian
