[Bug 1009731] Re: Since 12.04, CPU is overheating and powering off spontaneously under high computation load

2013-08-10 Thread undecidable
To add to the above, installed thinkfan with a reasonable config file,in 
particular specifying:
(127,   74, 32767) 
which sets the fan to unregulated above 74C.  
got to hear my fan under 12.04 for the first time I can remember. 

Loaded the system, did slip above 90C a few times, but not above 95C.
Fan went to 7300rpm, temp mostly 70-80C.
Without thinkfan, the system would have shut down. 

So there is a problem under 12.04 that thinkfan ameliorates.  
That is not to say there is not an underlying hardware problem also.

Next thing i will try is to get the fan replaced.

[Bug 1009731] Re: Since 12.04, CPU is overheating and powering off spontaneously under high computation load

2013-08-10 Thread undecidable
An extra datapoint:

I have had this problem for months.  If I don't take action to shut down
processes etc TP410s running Kubuntu 12.04 will overheat and shutdown.

1..  Have made it less severe by setting power management to "Balanced" in the 
bios.
But still happens more than daily.

2.  Happens more when I have an external monitor connected.  Can cool
things down by executing "disper -e" which disables the external
monitor.

3.  I kept my original Wz disk in case I needed to run diagnostics.  Put it in 
today, installed TPFanControl
and loaded the machine.  TPFanControl offers 3 types of fan control:  'bios', 
'smart' and 'manual'.

Under load, if I set fan control to 'bios', machine will overheat and
fan speed does not move (sits around 3-4000).

But if I set fan control to 'smart' when the temp went over 90C, fan
increased to over 7000rpm and machine cooled to ~60C.  It would then
cycle between 60-90C, with fan going up and down.  At 7000rpm I can hear
it.

Many people have found a fan replacement helps.  I wonder if the faulty
fans are missing a control signal?  And I wonder if TPFanControl manages
it by a workaround in the Wz driver?

2012-04-03 Thread undecidable
With the greatest possible deference to the Bug Bot,
I have no idea which package.

The problem is no doubt caused by the interaction of various processes during 
the boot process,
including grub, the kernel, loggers, plymouth etc. 

However, out of deference and respect for the bug bot,
I will file it against Plymouth and see if that works.

[Bug 972375] [NEW] Kernel Boot messages broken - maybe to wrong tty?

2012-04-03 Thread undecidable
Public bug reported:

Up to 10.10, the boot console would display kernel messages
(as shown after boot by dmesg)
and boot log messages (as in /var/log/boot.log)
mixed together.

>From 11.04, the boot console only shows boot log messages,
the kernel messages are missing,
which leads to a mostly black screen (15-20" !) booting process.

 The kernel messages seem to be going to tty1
(can see them there when I quickly and briefly switch to tty1 at the gui login 
prompt).
So maybe I could fix this problem if I could get these kernel
messages back to tty7,
which I think is where boot happens?

But editing /etc/default/grub to:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="vga=795 console=tty7 loglevel=7"
does not return the kernel messages to the boot console where I can see them.

One other point that partially contradicts the above:
after the boot log msgs start appearing on the console
(after about 15-20")
some kernel messages 
do actually appear on the console.

So another theory of what is happening
is that after grub exits,
the boot console is disabled in some way
until the process that writes the boot log messages starts to write to it.

Some discussion on
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11761850
including many 'workarounds' I tried which do not work,
and links to several other discussions on this bug, mainly by server side types.

I am using Kubuntu, but others commenting on this are using Ubuntu.
I am using Desktop, but have seen discussions by those with Ubuntu Server with 
the same issue.
I am using 64 bit, but the same thing happens in a 32 bit virtual machine.

Am using grub 1.99-rc1 in 11.04
whereas 10.10 (which boots correctly) uses 1.98.
However both are grub2, so it is not a grub1 / grub2 difference.

Anybody suggesting that I remove 'noquiet' to fix this,
or anything similarly banal,
I will fly over there and poke them in the forehead.  
This has been dealt with in the forum.

As this all worked in 10.10 and as of 11.04 no longer works,
it appears to be a regression.

[Bug 305446] Re: [needs-packaging] GCALDaemon

2010-04-20 Thread undecidable
Let me add a few comments in support of packaging this for Ubuntu..
I had originally used CalDav to sync to my Google Calendars, but changed to 
GCALDaemon.

1.  GCALDaemon allows creation of a real, accessible offline copy of your 
calendar (ics format), 
   versus the alternative for accessing Google calendars, CalDav, which 
does not. 
Caldav provides only a 'cache' which works less well.
 
2.   This offline copy can also be easily backed up,
   whereas if you are using CalDav, you have to separately wget the google 
.ics files to back them up.

2.  Philipp Heckel's particular packaging of it adds 2 advantages to the 
original GCALDaemon:
  i.  Configuration is kept in the home dir, where it belongs
   (the original keeps it in /usr/local/sbin, no obvious way to move it)
 ii.  A script is provided to easily stop the daemon, not provided in the 
original.

[Bug 96454] Re: [Feisty, Gutsy] MASTER: HP LaserJet 1000/1005/1018/1020 don't work because of missing firmware

2008-08-10 Thread undecidable
Another set of datapoints that may be helpful:
All under a clean install of Ubuntu 8.04 / HPLIP 2.8.2 / with a HP P1005.

1.  Installing the printer with hplip results in the message:
"Device is busy or in an error state.  
Please check the device and try again."
  and HPLIP Status tab says the printer is down "Service Request"
  and I cannot print a test page or download firmware to it.

2.  HOWEVER I can print to it almost normally. 
However jobs are never shown as completed and have to be manually deleted from 
thQ.
But I think this is a separate bug, cf 
http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/forum/read.php?42,1207

3.  Using sudo hp-setup -i
gives exactly the same result as above.

4.  Using the open source procedure in http://foo2xqx.rkkda.com/
   also seems to give the same result as above.
   the install seems to work, it prints ok, 
BUT:
a.  opening HPLIP again says the printer is busy or in an error state. 
b.  same error mentioned in 2. above. 

5.  Both methods 1 and 4 seem to cause the firmware to be updated,
as the printer seems to work again after being powered off in both cases,
but it is hard to be sure about this.

So there seems to be a problem in HPLIP 2.8.2 re detecting these printers as 
operational.  
In my travels around the web over the last 36 hours (getting to this point)
many others seem to have the same problems mentioned in 1. and 2. above.

Hope this is helpful.

[Bug 233849] Re: rsync doesn't delete deleted files

2008-08-04 Thread undecidable
I should add, it is not a problem with rsync.  
The problem is that .gvfs is (apparently) not behaving like a normal dir.  
It does not say it is a link, but rsync seems to treat it like a lnk. 
Assuming it stands for gnome virtual file system, 
this is to be expected.

[Bug 233849] Re: rsync doesn't delete deleted files

2008-08-04 Thread undecidable
It is a problem.

The workaround is to have an exclude file with the line:
- .gvfs

Funnily, 
- .gvfs/
did not work.  Maybe it is not really a dir?

The solution above would also work with amended grammar.  I think the format 
for an exclude should be:
--exclude="- .gvfs"
or for just one home dir:
--exclude="- /home/david/.gvfs"
though I did not test it.

An exclude file is usually better so you don't send across the Trash as
well.

[Bug 209145] Re: Evince couldnot display chinese pdf files

2008-05-29 Thread undecidable

I have to eat my words and withdraw the comment above.

After re-reading Pedro Villavicencio comments above, 
I re-checked what was installed and compared the 7.04 and 8.04 systems,
and discovered poppler-data was not on the 8.04 system.
So I installed it, and as if by miracle, Chinese appeared.

I should note that there was no poppler-data on the 7.04 system - and
the Chinese worked.

I should also note that how a humble user would know he/she must install 
poppler-data to read Chinese remains unresolved.  
Lucky there is launchpad to find this stuff out!

Same problem with kpdf 0.5.9 / poppler 0.6.4
in mixed pdfs. displays the english fine, but displays garbage for the chinese. 
 
System is a clean install of Kubuntu 8.04

xpdf works fine.

kpdf 0.5.6 / poppler 0.5.4 on Kubuntu 7.04 worked fine.

Am filing here as I assume the problem is also poppler, and so should not open 
a separate bug report.
If I should open a separate bug report, let me know.
If you want screenshots, let me know.  
If you want tea and biscuits, let me know.

Have not tried poppler 0.8 - am not sure how.

[Bug 150949] KFind not using locate database

2007-10-09 Thread undecidable
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kfind

When using KFind in Kubuntu 7.04
even if I check "use files index"
it does not appear to use the database
created by slocate/locate/updatedb
ie  /var/slocate/slocate.db.

A search in KFind with "use files index" checked
is about as slow as one without it checked,
compared to using locate from the command line which is instant
(so obviously using slocate.db).

I can find no config file that specifies the database that kfind is to use
in order to correct it.

[Bug 38915] Re: Logout proces hangs

2007-06-26 Thread undecidable
Some Further information to help narrow down the problem source:

Problem:
Clean install of Kubuntu 7.04 on a IBM TP21.
If I try to just logout, it won't relogin.

But the following all work:
a.  I can reboot this machine with no problem,
b.  Using ctrl-alt-bspc performs a relogin with no problems.
a.  I have a copy of Ubuntu 7.04 on a different partition with no problems,
ie logout/login works OK.  

So the problem is not with either the graphics card or with xorg.conf.

What happens:
After logging out,
1st I get the Kubuntu logo screen with a black progress bar
then flashing cursor on blank screen.
Any input is reflected on screen but doesn't seem to be processed,
eg c-alt-bspc, ctrl-c, ctrl-z

I have to change to tty1 (c-a-F1),
login as root and shutdown.

The system log shows the attached errors:
kdm :0[5312]: IO Error in XOpenDisplay
kdm[5018]   Display :0 cannot be opened
kdm[5018]   Unable to fire up local display :0; disabling
but again these errors do not happen on re-boot.

Michael Mayer 's workaround works for me also,
ie adding the line:
TerminateServer=true
in the [X-:*-Core] section of the kdmrc-File (/etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc)

Hope this is helpful.
