[Bug 163877] Re: Fail to switch bwteen CRT and LCD

2008-11-15 Thread zexpe
Why is the importance of this bug set to low? This is a regression of
something that worked perfectly in the Feisty distribution. It is also a
piece of functionality that is vital to laptop users. Most laptop users
own laptops to allow them to perform presentations by connecting their
laptop to a projector at the meeting venue, or at least regularly
connect them to external monitors when working. This simple lack of
functionality is the kind of bug that gives Linux a bad name. Especially
when it used to work.

2008-08-25 Thread zexpe
Mike, the workaround would only work for me if I chose the QtCurve
style. Follow jetpeach's intructions above. Looking at what he says, I
suggest you need the QtCurve style for both KDE and the GTK applications
too. I'm now using QtCurve for both without problems.

It should be fixed in the recently released kdesvn 1.0, which I haven't

[Bug 155788] Re: KDE blocks digital camera detection as usb-scsi disk

2008-07-31 Thread zexpe
I have the same problem in Hardy with my Panasonic DMC-TZ1 camera. I did
not have this problem in Feisty.

Removing "kamera" works, but is a bit messy as KDE still attempts to
initiate access via the "camera:/" protocol and fails, prior to then
loading the USB storage device.

Surely this should be a fairly high priority thing to fix for future
releases? It's the sort of problem that would put off new users from
using Ubuntu/Kubuntu.

2008-07-23 Thread zexpe
Apologies. I can now confirm that the bug still exists, having compiled
a working version 0.14.6 myself.

There is a workaround to the problem though:
  1 In Settings->Configure Kdesvn -> Subversion settings deselect the "Store 
passwords into KDE Wallet" option that is switched to on by default.
  2 Force your working copy to be updated, which will bring up a login dialogue 
allowing you to resubmit your username and password to the KDESVN simple 
password storage: Subversion -> Working copy -> Update to head
  3 Subversion -> Working copy -> Check for updates should now work
 
It's a bug in kdesvn's access of KDE Wallet. If the default option was to not 
use KDE wallet this bug would be less of a problem.

This is the upstream bug report:

http://kdesvn.alwins-world.de/trac.fcgi/ticket/186

Apparently it is fixed in version 0.14.6, so I recommend this version
for Kubuntu Intrepid if not also releasing a Kubuntu Hardy update to
this version.

[Bug 145501] Re: laptop screen remains on with external monitor and lid closed

2008-07-23 Thread zexpe
What is this screen resolution tool and does it exist in the kubuntu
distribution? Also the default behaviour has clearly changed since the
Feisty distribution. IMHO, the default behaviour in Feisty was correct
and the default behaviour in Hardy is incorrect, and for Ubuntu to meet
its goals of user friendliness it should default to the Feisty behaviour
without user intervention.

FWIW, I think the problem came about due to some change in the handling
of dual monitors in X11 - possibly the Xinerama to xrandr change over.

BTW, for Kubuntu I have inserted these lines into my
/etc/kde3/kdm/Xsetup script, which roughly gives me the behaviour I had
before in Feisty - i.e. laptop screen is switched off when the laptop is
docked, but I haven't fully investigated this problem:

if xrandr -q | grep "VGA connected"; then
  if xrandr -q | grep "VGA connected ("; then
if xrandr -q | grep "1680x1050"; then
  xrandr --output LVDS --off --output VGA --mode 1680x1050
else
  if xrandr -q | grep "1280x1024"; then
xrandr --output LVDS --off --output VGA --mode 1280x1024
  else
xrandr --output LVDS --off --output VGA --mode 1024x768
  fi
fi
  else
xrandr --output LVDS --off
  fi
else
  xrandr --output VGA --off --output LVDS --mode 1024x768
fi

It's perhaps a bit more complicated than it needs to be.

Interestingly according to the "toshset" utility the laptop screen was
off when I boot in the dock, but although the backlight was switched off
the graphics were still displaying. This is what lead to the problems I
described.

2008-07-23 Thread zexpe
I've written a script that upon successive executions gives me the
behaviour that Fn-F5 used to provide. It can be triggered by a desktop
global shortcut key to allow it to work like Fn-F5 used to work.

Apologies for my poor understanding of script language, but it works for
me:

if toshset -q video | grep -q  "internal: LCD"; then
  xrandr --output VGA --mode 1024x768
  toshset -video both
else
  if toshset -q video | grep -q "internal and external monitor"; then
xrandr --output LVDS --off
sudo toshset -video ext
  else
if toshset -q video | grep -q "Video out: external monitor"; then
  xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768
  sudo toshset -video int
  xrandr --output VGA --off
else
  echo "Error: Unknown state"

[Bug 234259] Re: Meld doesn't show differences in sequence

2008-07-23 Thread zexpe
I'm also experiencing the same problem having just upgraded to Meld
1.1.5.1 (Hardy) from 1.1.4 (Feisty).

This is a serious bug for me as I rely on Meld extensively and need to
trust that it will show me all of the changes. So I have now reverted
back to 1.1.4 and it's working fine again for me.

This bug is also noted here on the gnome bugtracker:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=538736

Which the lead developer has confirmed, but hasn't yet found a fix for
it.

2008-07-21 Thread zexpe
This is certainly related to this bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-
intel/+bug/145501

As it didn't occur in Feisty on my Toshiba Portege R200 (i810 driver)
and apparently came in with Gutsy. I have these problems with Hardy
(intel driver). If I press Fn-F5 enough times it works, but doesn't
switch off the laptop screen any more. The toshset util switches
correctly, but again doesn't switch off the laptop screen - just dims
it.

I think it must be due to some kind of switch towards multiple screen
support with  "xrandr" instead of xinerama, which doesn't work well with
toshutils

[Bug 145501] Re: laptop screen remains on with external monitor and lid closed

2008-07-21 Thread zexpe
I also have this problem with Hardy 8.04.1 on my Toshiba laptop (Portege
R200), which didn't have this problem in Feisty and the i810 driver. It
has the additional problem of confusing KDE into thinking my external
monitor is displaying two screens, which leads to lots of interesting
effects. For example, the screensaver displays on "two" virtual
overlapping screens on my external monitor. I also have the option to
display my wallpaper on these two virtual screens overlapping each other
on the external monitor.

I can confirm that the xrandr command given above eliminates this
problem. However, I'd rather not have to manually turn off the laptop
screen, when in the past it was off by default when an external monitor
was attached on boot.

Also, in the past, the "toshset" utility would switch off the laptop
screen, both via the command-line and the Fn-F5 button sequence on the
laptop. However, now it just dims the laptop screen and thus the
problems listed above occur. Ideally toshset should be able to turn off
the laptop screen via the xrandr method - both from command-line and the
Fn-F5 button sequence.

[Bug 250544] [NEW] kdesvn fails to check repository for updates

2008-07-21 Thread zexpe
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdesvn

I'm using Kubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04.1 with kdesvn 0.14.1-1 and KDE 3.5.9.

When I open a checked out working copy of a repository kdesvn
automatically checks for updates. However, it continues forever unless I
choose "Update to head", which works and stops the check for updates. If
I don't "Update to head" then the kdesvn cannot be closed and must be
forced to quit. I can turn off automatic check for updates upon opening
a working copy, and when manually choosing "check for updates" the same
behaviour is observed. This renders the "check for updates" function
inoperable, which is one of most important functions of kdesvn - the
ability to check for an update with performing an update.

My repository can be viewed directly by opening the URL with
svn+https://address without any problems, from which I can perform a
check out. All other functions on this checked out working copy works as
expected.
