[Bug 333386] Re: Cannot change brightness with 2.6.27-11+ kernel

2009-04-10 Thread unclben
@gidantribal: See earlier in this bug report. I have a ThinkPad X61s,
but I was having the same problem as Marc-Andre. I'm currently running
the generic 2.6.27-19 kernel from the mainline kernel PPA, which solved
the problem for me.

FWIW, I loaded up the Jaunty Beta i386 LiveCD (well... on a USB stick)
and brightness now works perfectly on my laptop.

I tried installing the generic 2.6.27-19 mainline kernel as provided by
the kernel team (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds - even I
can install a .deb!). Brightness changes work like a charm. I wish a
developer would chime in and let us know if/when we'll get a newer
kernel, since this regression seems to have been fixed upstream.

Any idea when 2.6.27-16 or newer will make it into Intrepid? I'm not
comfortable compiling my own kernel.

I can confirm this on my ThinkPad (dmidecode outputs below).
Lenovo
7668CTO
ThinkPad X61s

The laptop is only a few days old. When running the Intrepid Live CD
(which I assume is an older kernel than 2.6.27-11), backlight control
worked fine. Since installing and updating to current kernel, however, I
cannot control the backlight level at all. I have tried the function
keys, the gnome brightness applet, and the xbacklight CLI application.

It seems that whatever brightness I set in the power management settings
GUI takes effect when I boot fresh (i.e. full boot, not a resume from
suspend or hibernate). xbacklight also reports that setting.

If I try to change the setting via the function keys, the OSD appears
and the bar will move as it should... but the backlight doesn't actually
adjust. If I try to change via the brightness applet slider, it moves up
and down and holds position... but the backlight doesn't actually
adjust. If I try to set a new level via xbacklight -set XX, xbacklight
-get will report the value that I set (well, it's actually off by a
smidge, but by and large it's the same number)... but the backlight
doesn't actually adjust.

Is there anything else I can provide to help debugging?

Aside from the obvious battery life concern, having the wrong LCD
backlight level for the current ambient lighting condition can be a huge
eyestrain and can even render the laptop unusable in some cases. (this
is my pleading to avoid getting set at 'low' importance)

[Bug 56195] Re: Firefox and Epiphany browsers crash at pageload

2008-07-12 Thread unclben
I would say it's probably not valid anymore. I certainly didn't have
this problem on Gutsy or Hardy, at least with Firefox. Epiphany has been
a little more flaky, but I don't know whether or not it's Flash-related
and I'm not running any Ubuntu boxes right now so I can't confirm or
deny anything for sure.

Save functionality seems to have fixed itself... no idea what happened.
Works on the exact same websites that didn't work previously. If there's
any information I can provide to be more helpful to the bugfix army,
please let me know.

I have the same can't-download-anything problem with Firefox 3 on an
i386 laptop I upgraded from Gutsy via update-manager on 2008-04-19
(after the RC was released). I do have back  forward buttons, though.

That fixed the problem. Are there different plugins I should try for
Flash compatibility? (Besides pestering Adobe for better Linux support,
that is...)

[Bug 56195] Firefox and Epiphany browsers crash at pageload

2006-08-12 Thread unclben
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

Distribution: Ubuntu 6.06 (dapper)
Package: epiphany
Severity: Normal
Version: GNOME2.14.3 2.14.3
Gnome-Distributor: Ubuntu
Synopsis: Firefox and Epiphany browsers crash at pageload
Bugzilla-Product: epiphany
Bugzilla-Component: General
Bugzilla-Version: 2.14.3
BugBuddy-GnomeVersion: 2.0 (2.14.1)
Description:
Description of the crash:
Certain websites trigger a sudden crash during pageload. The crash
occurs at every single attempt to visit these specific websites.

Steps to reproduce the crash:
1. Visit
http://www.osweekly.com/index.php/option=com_contenttask=viewid=2287Itemid=449.

Expected Results: Firefox and Epiphany will crash partway through the
page-loading operation.

How often does this happen? Every time.

Additional Information: This has happened at several webpages when using 
Firefox. I finally
tried to work around the problem by using Epiphany, whose built-in bug
reporter convinced me to file this.
