[Bug 292512] [NEW] Gnome System Monitor crashes when clicking on File Systems tab

2008-11-02 Thread kripkenstein
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor

Gnome System Monitor always crashes when I try to switch to the 'File
Systems' tab. This is on a new installation of Intrepid.

When run from the commandline, the output is as follows:


$ gnome-system-monitor 

** (gnome-system-monitor:1888): WARNING **: SELinux was found but is not
enabled.


(gnome-system-monitor:1888): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: IA__g_object_get_valist: 
property `name' of object class `GThemedIcon' is not readable
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
  what():  basic_string::_S_construct NULL not valid
Aborted


The SELinux warning is probably not related, it appears before I click
on File Systems and it crashes.

This bug has a similar name to bug 244903 and bug 260474, but from
reading those the underlying cause seems different, so I'm filing this
as a new bug (I hope I did the right thing, sorry if not).

2008-11-02 Thread kripkenstein
Sebastien,

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but all I see after following the
instructions for getting a backtrace is a debug symbols package for
gnome-system-monitor 2.22, not 2.24. So I can't install it.

I received a warning about a missing public key during the update
process, perhaps that is related? The wiki instructions don't mention
anything about handling that.

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: blender-ogrexml

After installing the blender-ogrexml package, it isn't
available/recognized in blender. That is, under File-Export the OGRE
export plugin doesn't appear. Running scripts-update scripts doesn't

Copying the files into the ~/blender/scripts directory manually, and

[Bug 190754] Re: Over-optimistic buffering in PulseAudio causes underruns (audible stuttering, pops)

2008-05-05 Thread kripkenstein
Correction to my previous comment: While 17-generic greatly improves the
situation, and solves it for many usage scenarios, it doesn't fix
everything. After several days use, I found a small case or two in which
it still happens (e.g. iconifying/deiconifying Deluge to the
notification area while Sound Recorder is playing - probably the issue
is it takes Deluge a lot of work to redraw itself, but I don't know).

So, the new kernel is a big improvement, but not a complete solution.

I tried the 17-generic kernel just now, and oddly enough I can't get
sound to work in it. It detects no sound devices. So, no way for me to
test if it helps with this bug.

Back to 16-generic, and sound works, but stutters and pops as per this

This bug still exists for me.

I am on a completely updated system (as of 5 minutes ago), and I also
did

sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio  sudo apt-get install pulseaudio

as recommended above. This has led to no improvement.

Note: It does appear that the bug sometimes 'vanishes' for periods of
time. E.g. right after booting up, I might be able to alt-tab between a
few apps before sound crackling occurs. Once the crackling occurs, it
generally will continue to persist for all further alt-tabs (at least
between apps that need to redraw themselves in a non-trivial way, which
includes Firefox, Nautilus, gedit, etc., assuming open documents in all
of them).

[Bug 207548] [NEW] Dialog for logging out with unsaved data not shown correctly

2008-03-26 Thread kripkenstein
Public bug reported:

[Hardy]

When logging out while there are open apps with unsaved data, a dialog
should appear with options to save, not save, or cancel logout. This
generally works correctly, but the following case always fails for me:

1. In gedit, write some text in a new, unsaved document.
2. IMPORTANT: switch so another app is above gedit, i.e., gedit is not topmost.
3. Start a logout.

What happens every time is that
1. gedit flashes in the window list on the panel. That is, it brings attention 
to itself.
2. However, one cannot click on the panel to get there.

Thus, the logout process is paused, but the user can't see why except
that something is up with gedit. For a casual user the computer is
essentially 'stuck'.

What *does* work is to Alt-Tab to get to gedit. This reveals that indeed
the logout options dialog was presented. It was just hidden, and
inaccessible via mouse operations.

2008-03-17 Thread kripkenstein
I can also confirm this bug. 100% CPU usage on the 'Resources' tab.

I have a theory about it. It appears that the update interval is not
obeyed correctly. When I have it set at 1, I get 100% CPU usage, and it
is updating *much faster* than 1 time per second. When I set it to 3 I
get 50% CPU usage and it updated about once per second. When set to 10,
it updates around every 2 seconds at 25% CPU usage.

That is, it seems to try to update much faster than the user requests,
which leads to extreme CPU usage.

[Bug 198054] Re: Aspect Ratio selection broken

2008-03-14 Thread kripkenstein
Yes, the bug still exists on a fully updated Hardy.

I am running totem-2.22.0-0ubuntu2. Totem itself says in the About
dialog that it is Totem 2.21.5.

Let me clarify the bug report a little, as I re-read it now I see I
forgot a small detail:

When going to View-Aspect Ratio, initially *none* of the options are
selected. Selecting one then has no effect on the actual aspect ratio,
but the option remains selected. Selecting another does not remove the
prior selection, and also has no actual effect on the video. After
trying them all, you can end up with all of the radiobuttons selected,
and you still have not had any real effect on the viewed video. So

(1) the radiobuttons do not behave right - at first none is selected, and then 
you can select more than one, and you cannot unselect them, and
(2) no selection has any actual change on the aspect ratio of the viewed video

This occurs for every video I have tried. However I probably do not have
a great variety of codecs etc., so here is for example the video I am
currently watching: 640x352, XviD MPEG-4, 25 frames/sec, Bitrate: N/A.
That is, it's a widescreen video. Thankfully Totem detected the aspect
ratio correctly, or else it would be unwatchable (since I can't change
the aspect ratio manually due to this bug).

[Bug 90097] Re: USB memory stick light stays on after safely remove (KDE)

2008-03-13 Thread kripkenstein
I am no expert, but my guess would be that this is relevant to both the
'mount' package and/or the underlying kernel calls that mount uses.

Mount might be better in that it is more specific than 'kernel', and
hopefully the relevant people there will know quickly if this is a
problem with mount or an underlying kernel issue. Again, just my
guesses, other people here probably know more about this stuff than me.

I tried this again now and it appears to work fine.

That is, I have middlemouse.paste at the default value of yes, and it
now only pastes inside text areas, as it should. I do have ubufox

[Bug 200065] Re: My big bug report

2008-03-09 Thread kripkenstein
Hi jacob,

Thanks for finding bugs. However, putting them all in a single big file
in this way is not the usual procedure, most likely this will be
unnoticed due to the large number of more correctly, formally filed
bugs.

If you want to mention bugs informally in one big file, as you did, then
let me suggest that you do so in the Hardy Heron Forum on Ubuntuforums,

http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=305

This isn't as good as filing bugs formally, but perhaps informal
discussion there will clarify things and lead to formal bug filing (by
you or by others). On the upside it can be fun and you generally get
quick responses (in minutes or hours) by other users.

Alternatively, you can file a separate bug, using the normal manner,
here on Launchpad, one for each bug. See e.g.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for guidelines on doing
so, also, you can take a look at other filed bugs to see what the
conventions are.

2008-03-08 Thread kripkenstein
Sebastian,

The word crash in the title may be misleading, I think. The precise
symptom is that gnome panel and all its applets disappear, then reappear
(and the new location is not added). There is no crash report in
/var/crash. The automatic bug reporting tool is also not run. So I am
not sure this is a crash, or otherwise, if it is then no crash report is
generated. (The problem is consistently reproducible, however, crash or
not.)

If there is another way to check whether this is indeed a crash, and to
get a crash report, please let me know, I am baffled so far.

gnome-screensaver can't do it. You need the gnome-power-manager tool

[Bug 133197] Re: mozilla-plugin-gnash is broken

2008-03-07 Thread kripkenstein
I am experiencing what appears to be this bug on an updated Hardy.

I thought I'd give Gnash a shot, so I installed it. But Firefox (3)
doesn't utilize it, it doesn't appear in the list of plugins, nor does
it play content. I tried installing Gnash through Firefox's Ubuntu
plugin, through Synaptic, and after removing the nonfree Flash plugin.
No luck. Even after its installed I get asked to install plugins when I
am on a page with Flash, as if Gnash isn't installed.

Looking at /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/, it seems I have

flashplugin-alternative.so - /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin

the latter file which then links

/etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin -
/usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so

and the last file here exists. Yet, the Gnash plugin does not work, as I
said above, from Firefox's point of view it is not installed.

[Bug 199437] Re: GTK+ integration is less than ideal

2008-03-07 Thread kripkenstein
I agree with Gert that this is an issue for upstream. But anyhow, as we
are already discussing it, here are my conclusions after reading some
stuff there, specifically,

http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/BrowseList?list=discussby=threadfrom=120242
http://ui.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=9304

Instead of a wrapper around native widget toolkits for each platform,
they wrap around calls to lower-level drawing routines (this is called
VCL). I'm not sure I fully grasp why they see this as better. It seems
that the main advantage is that to add a new platform one needs to only
wrap a few low-level drawing routines, instead of a large number of
widget-level stuff. This seems peculiar since there are only say 5 main
environments to support. But perhaps they are concerned about new
platforms appearing.

Hi Fred,

I feel your pain regarding this bug, it is indeed annoying. Hopefully
something will be done about it, but as you mention in your comments in
the main bug, it has been a long time and sadly this seems a low
priority for upstream devs.

Let me just say, as constructive criticism, that while I personally
understand where you are coming from, other people might be offended by
your tone (Fix this, etc.). We all get seriously annoyed by bugs
sometimes, but venting our anger at each other generally doesn't help.

Note that this is a general bug, not just firefox related. That's why I
marked it a duplicate of the main bug.

[Bug 190754] [NEW] Bad multitasking / responsiveness in Hardy

2008-02-10 Thread kripkenstein
Public bug reported:

Responsiveness of the desktop in Hardy, under CPU load, is significantly
poorer than in previous versions of Ubuntu, on the same hardware.

The easiest way to see it for me is to do this:

1. Downclock my Athlon64 3000 to 1Ghz from 2; this makes things more 
noticeable. I also suspect that people running fast machines is why this isn't 
reported more. Perhaps especially on multicore machines it won't be significant.
2. Record a long-enough piece in Sound Recorder (doesn't matter what, so long 
as you would notice if it didn't play smoothly).
3. Press play, and do Alt-Tab between the Sound Recorder window and e.g. 
Firefox, Nautilus, Totem, etc.

The symptom is that sound 'stutters' along with what sounds like static
interference. If the sound recording is music, then it becomes
impossible to listen to in a pleasant manner.

Similar and worse symptoms occur when doing so under CPU load, say when
compiling a big app, applying updates, etc.

This is not a hardware issue, since the same computer was very
responsive under Gutsy (and older versions), even at 1GHz. However, I
state my specs here just for comparison: Athlon64 3000, 512MB RAM, AC'97
onboard sound,

00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.
VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60)

and using the NVidia binary driver for video.

My (unfounded, hence I didn't specify a package for this bug) suspicions
are that perhaps the issue is to do with the new CPU scheduler (CFS)
and/or the new sound backend (Pulseaudio). I suspect them only because
they are new, I have no specific evidence against either at this point.

This occurs with other things than audio, but is much harder to notice.
For example, when playing a movie in Totem during heavy CPU load
(compiling something in another window), I see both audio and video
stuttering. But the video is much harder to notice, you need to look
carefully to see that it isn't smooth. Whereas the audio stuttering and
'static' can't be ignored.

[Bug 189195] [NEW] Middleclick (click on middle button) causes odd behaviour

2008-02-05 Thread kripkenstein
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Middleclick in Firefox 3.0 is left at the default, which is to paste.
This means that a middleclick not on a button or a link (i.e., on some
blank area) will cause whatever is in the clipboard to be opened as if
it were a link. If the contents of the clipboard are not a URL, then a
popup appears with

The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded

which is very odd to someone not expecting it. If the clipboard happens
to contain something similar to a URL, it will be opened in a new tab,
which is also potentially very confusing.

To change this, the option middlemouse.paste should be False (that
would be my recommendation).

[Bug 152781] Re: Curl should depend on ca-certificates

2008-01-30 Thread kripkenstein
I agree 100% with the bug submitter and the comment above. ca-
certificates should be a dependency. As it is, curl does not function,
on Hardy I get

curl: (77) error setting certificate verify locations:
  CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
  CApath: none

while after installing ca-certificates it works fine.

This has the side effect of making webkit not able to load https://
sites. No error is given, so this is hard to figure out (but the WebKit
people told me it might be a curl issue, which led me eventually to
here).

[Bug 186385] [NEW] Firefox 3.0 renders pages slowly at 100% CPU and is unresponsive as it does so

2008-01-27 Thread kripkenstein
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

(This is a new issue for me as of a few days ago. Perhaps something to
do with recent updates.)

Comparing FF2 to FF3 on this computer - the only difference is FF2 vs
FF3 - I find that FF3 is very unresponsive. Loading a new page causes
100% CPU usage for around a second or so, during which time Firefox is
completely unresponsive (I can't even switch to another tab as I wait).
This is particularly noticeable when several pages are loaded at once
(e.g., when I start Firefox, or when I middleclick several pages that I
want to read later) - the 100% CPU/unresponsive time can last for 5
seconds or more.

This appears to occur more obviously with pages with more images, but
otherwise, no idea why it is worse in some cases and less in others.

I am using the NVidia binary driver. However, as I mentioned, FF2 is
responsive and fast on the same computer, so not sure if this is
relevant or not.

[Bug 182038] Re: Black rectangle instead of image in FF3 [Hardy]

2008-01-23 Thread kripkenstein
This does not happen with all jpegs. For example, open www.ubuntu.com:
the middle top jpeg (the one I attached above) has the problem, but the
one on the left (with the four people,
http://www.ubuntu.com/files/masthead/ulivecfp/masthead-left-gutsy.jpg) -
is fine. However, this is 100% consistent - certain jpegs have the
problem, and always do, in all of my testing. (No idea what makes
certain ones vulnerable to this.)

Regarding PNG images, there are other serious issues with them. In some
cases - not all - they completely fail to load, leaving an empty area,
not even a black rectangle, and this occurs for ALL zoom levels. There
is a bug at Mozilla here:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=409345

An example page for testing is this:

http://www.canonical.com/projects/landscape

There should be several screenshots, but none appear when using the nv
driver - there is just blank space.  Sometimes the images load
partially, but scrolling away and then back makes them vanish. All of
this works with the nvidia binary driver, so again, the issues are
with the nv driver.

I believe I can confirm this, or something very similar. Looking at e.g.
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=604594 , at default zoom it
appears fine, but when resizing images is performed (at non-default

now think that a black rectangle is a symptom of the image moved outside
of the view area, so this bug may be closely related to bug #182038.

I now think that indeed this and bug #18525 may be closely related, good
point, Nanley. When resizing, all sorts of odd things occur to images,
the 'black rectangles' reported in this bug may just be what happens
when the image is moved out of the visual area completely. In other
cases I have seen it moved partially out of the visual area.

So, is the nv driver the issue here? Perhaps this might explain why
there isn't a flood of reports of this bug.

[Bug 182300] Automatic codec installation for MPEG-4 AAC audio doesn't occur

2008-01-12 Thread kripkenstein
Public bug reported:

There seems to be an issue with gstreamer-0.10-plugins-bad versus
gstreamer-0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse.

Symptoms: I am on a fresh install of Hardy Alpha 3. Automatic codec
installation for the most part worked fine, except for one hitch: Videos
with MPEG-4 AAC audio don't work. Totem realizes it is missing the
codec, the automation codec installation dialog comes up, and searches
for codecs. It installed some, but sound wouldn't play. Re-trying the
file, Totem again realizes it is missing the codec, but now the
automatic codec installation says it can't find a codec and gives up.
The file now plays without audio (video though is ok).

Investigating this, the issue is as follows: gstreamer-0.10-plugins-bad-
multiverse was installed automatically, but not gstreamer-0.10-plugins-
bad (i.e. without the 'multiverse'). Installing this latter package
manually makes everything work ok. So, the problem seems to be that
automatic codec installation thinks that MPEG-4 AAC audio needs -bad-
multiverse, when *really* what it needs is -bad, without multiverse (or
perhaps both).

(Looking at previous bugs, bug #8 seems similar - but not sure. It
has been fixed, so perhaps not relevant.)

Note: I tried to put 'gstreamer' or 'gstreamer-0.10' in the package area
for this bug, but Launchpad has a problem: it finds gstreamer when I
press choose to search for the package, but won't file the bug because
it then says the package doesn't exist in Ubuntu.

[Bug 132612] Re: memory leak in evince?

2008-01-03 Thread kripkenstein
What I believe is the main cause of this bug has been discovered.
Details are in a comment I left on the GNOME bug report.

Briefly, the issue is that in scanned PDFs, each page contains an image.
Evince, unlike simpler viewers, allows users to copy images. Problem is,
the images are prepared in advance when the page is loaded. On a scanned
PDF, the images are of the size of the _original_ scanned page. In an
example PDF here, each such page is 4000x4000 pixels, which means 64 MB
per page. Caching 4 pages in addition to the current one means over 300
MB of RAM is used - very problematic (the actual pages, rendered at say
1024x786, should only take around 4 MB each, for 20 MB overall). I again
reiterate that I believe the severity of this bug should be higher than
'low'.

It is unclear how GNOME will respond. A correct solution would only
prepare the images for copying only when an actual copy request is made,
but this necessitates various changes, including to Poppler and perhaps
other rendering backends as well for the other formats aside from PDF.

Meanwhile, if this is not solved in time for Hardy, I suggest that
Ubuntu consider disabling image copying in Evince, especially since
Hardy is an LTS release. I attach a tiny patch that does so. The only
functionality lost is that one cannot copy images by right clicking or
dragging them, which is probably a rare behavior anyhow (and one can of
course still take a screenshot and get the desired part out of it). The
advantage is that Evince will not have unacceptable memory behavior on
certain PDFs. On my example PDF, patched Evince uses 38 MB instead of
over 300 MB.

matter,

[Bug 132612] Re: memory leak in evince?

2007-12-18 Thread kripkenstein
Ok, perhaps some progress on this matter.

This bothered me enough to try to get something done, so I talked to one
of the Evince devs. Turns out part of the problem is that Evince always
caches 2 pages forward and back. So even if you are viewing a single
page, you have 5 pages rendered in memory. When pages are very 'heavy'
this becomes a problem.

I have therefore written a patch to change the caching algorithm in
Evince, in order to make it adaptive. The new method will cache pages
ahead and back in a semi-smart manner, depending on the amount of free
memory. If there is none, then it will only render pages currently in
sight.

I sent the patch to the Evince dev; we'll see what they think. Meanwhile
I am attaching it here as well, if someone wants to look at it, test it,
etc. To do so, install Evince from svn (as explained here:
http://live.gnome.org/Evince/GettingEvince ). Then apply the patch to
the single file I modified (in the directory 'shell'). Then 'make
install', etc.

On my 512MB system, I can now view PDFs that used to kill the computer
(Evince still takes 100-200 MB, though). Results from other computers
and files would be helpful, since the caching method I implemented has a
heuristic for how to decide how many pages to cache, and I don't know if
it is optimal in all cases. Details are inside the patch, in code
comments, but basically it reads /proc/meminfo, calculates free memory,
considers cached RAM and also used swap in order to decide how much
should really be usable.

Comments, etc., are welcome.


(Note that this is far from solving all of Evince's memory issues. It still 
takes much more RAM than xPDF does, even page-for-page. But hopefully a step in 
the right direction.)

[Bug 90097] Re: USB memory stick light stays on after safely remove (KDE)

2007-11-30 Thread kripkenstein
I can also confirm this bug, on both Ubuntu and Xubuntu. So this bug
appears to be a general issue, not specific to Kubuntu. The symptom is,
as with all others, that the light on USB drives stays on after
unmounting.

There seems to be no data loss, the issue is only 'aesthetic'. However,
this aesthetic issue is *very important* to new users of Ubuntu, who
will assume the drive has not been properly unmounted/ejected/etc.

[Bug 159123] Re: eth0 missing in (/etc/network/) interfaces file

2007-11-15 Thread kripkenstein
Well, if you intend to let NetworkManager handle all networking, then
perhaps this bug is invalid. But not everyone uses NetworkManager - I
can't - and for such users this is a problem. So I feel this is a valid
bug.

I guess my point is, why should /etc/network/interfaces be tied to
NetworkManager exclusively? It isn't a NetworkManager file.

Perhaps the issue is with NetworkManager being installed by default, and
dependent on ubuntu-desktop, so it can't be uninstalled without concern.
If this is Ubuntu's policy, then NetworkManager should either (1) work
perfectly, or (2) not make other networking things fail. Currently it
does neither.

[Bug 132612] Re: memory leak in evince?

2007-11-04 Thread kripkenstein
I can also confirm this bug on Gutsy.

As with others here, on Feisty Evince was reasonable, but on Gutsy
things are out of control. I simply cannot use Evince (I am using xpdf
for now). One example is a 2.6MB PDF (I can post it here if it can
help), that when opened in Evince causes 300+ MB of resident memory to
be used (and I can actually see the memory taken up and swap space being
utilized - this isn't a misreading of memory usage due to
caching/buffers). After initial load, memory usage goes down to 200 MB,
but jumps back up to 300MB+ (and 100% CPU) as I scroll.

On my 512 MB system, this behavior basically sends everything else into
swap, and the system is nearly unusable. Note that even the 200MB that
it 'stabilizes' on when not scrolling is bad enough.

[Bug 159123] eth0 missing in (/etc/network/) interfaces file

2007-10-31 Thread kripkenstein
Public bug reported:

This occurs in both Ubuntu and Xubuntu Gutsy, both fresh installs.

I have a manual script to connect to my ISP, which does ifup eth0, calls
pptp, etc. On Gutsy, my /etc/network/interfaces file was created to be

  auto lo
  iface lo inet loopback

which is missing the critical line

  iface eth0 inet dhcp

only after adding this does ifup eth0 etc. work.

This issue was not present on Feisty, Edgy or Dapper. (On Feisty I had
to disable NetworkManager, which I also tried on Gutsy, but it didn't
fix things.)

[Bug 159126] Xubuntu is missing a power preferences setup tool

2007-10-31 Thread kripkenstein
Public bug reported:

On Xubuntu Gutsy, there is no installed tool to manage power settings.
Yet the default behavior appears to be to power off monitors after a
certain period of time, and this cannot be changed.

This was critical for my computer, since if my LCD is powered off, bad
things happen. So I need to only use a screensaver, not to power it off.

An easy fix was to install gnome-power-manager, and then in the
screensaver settings a button appeared to manager power settings; I
then told it to NOT power off my monitor. This seems (so far) to work.
(Note that I expected a menu entry for the power management gui tool,
but there wasn't one. There was just the button inside screensaver
preferences.)

In conclusion, perhaps Xubuntu should ship with gnome-power-manager, so
that people can alter power-saving settings. As it is, it appears that
there ARE power-saving settings (in particular, powering off monitors
after a certain time), but these are not configurable.

I meant to say sleep instead of power off, in all of the above.
Sorry for any confusion. The issue is that monitors are put to sleep in
Xubuntu but there is no GUI to control that.
