[Bug 519358] Re: grub2 complains error: unknown command `terminal' if terminal_output gfxterm is false

2010-05-01 Thread bobp
I'm having the same problem with a fresh 10.04 server installation.  Its
on a P3 box that has an integrated SiS 620 video chipset on the
motherboard.

error: no suitable mode found
error: unknown command 'terminal'

It looks like the kernel isn't supporting the video framebuffer.

[Bug 211631] Re: CIFS/SMBFS shares not unmounted before network is shut down

2009-01-30 Thread bobp
I also did the right thing and reported this bug in one of the reports
that was marked as a duplicate.  Yes it is frustrating to see bugs take
so long to get fixed, and ultimately lack of a positive result teaches
users to give up bothering to file bug reports.  That's not a good
thing, as it causes bugs to go unreported and impedes progress.

In the big scheme of things, using Linux teaches you patience, teaches
you to learn to live with disappointment, and teaches you to look on the
bright side:  I left Gentoo development many years ago because of
problems like this.  With that other distro, bugs would remain unfixed
and some developers would deny that bugs exist and invalidate bug
reports without fixing the bugs, just to buff up their bug closure
statistics.  Then users would fight to have them reopened, and the
developer would immediately re-close it.  It was like beating your head
against the wall.  The entire process of user reporting and developer
invalidating would repeat itself over and over again in a never ending
cycle.  It evolved into a farce.

Watching the Gentoo developers insist that the bugs don't exist can be
quite amusing -- even though I have not used the distribution any more,
I'm still receiving email updates regarding an rsync time logging bug
that remains unresolved 5 years after I first reported it, and the same
developer continues to close the bug reports every time that users re-
open them.  Ubuntu may be far from perfect, but at least the price is
right and you don't have to waste hours or days COMPILING an entire
operating system only to find that it doesn't work right.  Look on the
bright side -- our situation could be much worse than it is.

[Bug 232417] [NEW] Scrambled Fonts in Firefox 3 and Gimp after TT Font Installation

2008-05-21 Thread bobp
Public bug reported:

After installing some TT Fonts from my Windows box, the fonts in Firefox
3B5 and Gimp 2.4 are scrambled.  In the Gimp, all of the text characters
have been replaced by small rectangles.  In Firefox, all of the menu
selections are invisible.  All of the menus appear to have no
characters.

When running these programs from the command line, I get Pango Warnings
that Pango failed to create a cairo scaled font.  Reinstalling doesn't
help.  Deleting the configuration files for the applications doesn't
help.  Deleting the offending font doesn't help either -- the same
problem just crops up again with another font name.

I am using Kubuntu 8.04 LTS.

i might add that i believe that i had this problem on installation,
before i ever mounted any samba shares.  at any rate, i don't know if
the shares are still mounted when this happens; i can tell you that they
were mounted before i started the shutdown procedure, and they appear
not to be being shut down properly, if that helps any.

manually unmounting all of the samba shares seems to have solved the problem.
it looks like this bug is a duplicate of the one previously cited.

before closing this bug as a duplicate of the other, is there a workaround that 
i could use to modify the logoff scripts?
i have 8 samba shares mounted and i would rather not have to perform this task 
manually with each shutdown.  

thanks.

[Bug 156209] Re: IPv6 is gone after using network-manager with vpn

2008-01-02 Thread bobp
I've been experiencing this issue myself over the last few days...

Interestingly, it felt the need to withdraw the IP address from eth1
temporarily also, before putting it back shortly after.

It then felt the need to withdraw my public IPv6 address, register a
link local address, and then remove that as well.  ifconfig output at
the bottom.

Note that this is IPv6 and VPN over wireless (eth1 is the wireless, eth0
is a 10/100 LAN port with nothing connected).

Hope it helps.
