yeah I would really like to get the blit bug filed.  and I should
clarify, the crash that takes hours to reproduce usually appears when
opening and closing videos with mplayer.

Re: first day of school

2012-09-17 Thread Karl Anliot
As I study these bugs, it feels like there's an equal but opposite
force pushing back at me.  As I study the bugs, is it possible the
bugs are studying me?  Each step taken towards understanding these
developments takes me farther and farther away from the world I used
to know.  And it's terrifying me.

 Should I forward this to ubuntu-bugs mailing list?  Thanks.


No don't forward it to ubutu-bugs.

If you're sure it's not your mouse.  (and i tested it on 12.10 on some
config files in Libreoffice writer)
file it here and link your LP bug to it.

Re: Proposal to drop Ubuntu alternate CDs for 12.10

 My main issue with removing the alternate install is the ability to do a

 without a gui:


The livecd today is failing to even Install Lubuntu  I assume it's some
new changes that have broken.
And every time I file a bug against Ubiquity, I get instructed that it's my
virtual machine that's causing the crashes.   I don't know why the
graphical installer is so complicated that it breaks daily.  But IMHO we're
doing something seriously wrong with Ubiquity.

 I agree with A. Grandi! The alternate installer is *much* more stable

 I second the community vote idea, as well. The other *buntus are very

 FYI -- as spoken of earlier, here's the details on dropping the
 alternate
 installer in 12.10. Again, this is just for ubuntu, and not a decision
 for
 any flavors. As far as I know, no flavors have committed to dropping the
 alternate cd's. This transition will occur with the next milestone,
 which is
 Beta 1. As part of this, we'll need to migrate the alternate testcases
 and
 add new testcases in support of the new features in ubiquity. Thanks!

 so you have already decided? I did think there was a discussion before
 proceding, but it looks like this change will already take its effect
 starting from the next beta. Don't you think we should ask first the
 community what they think about? It's non sense that in less than 24
 hours you start the discussion on ubuntu-devel and you have already
 decided for everyone. I can't get it, sorry.

 Let me say that this is the worst idea ever proposed! I won't be able
 to use Ubuntu on my desktop anymore because I'm using a RAID 1 setup
 and I want to do a safe installation not using some workaround later
 after installation and risking to loose my data.

 Even more, alternate install CD is the only way for some PC to
 complete the installation. You can't imagine how many time I had to
 use alternate installer because ubiquity was freezing.

 I really cannot understand how you can propose something that will
 make Ubuntu worse than it is,
 We're supposed to make Ubuntu BETTER not worse.

 As Brendan said, I would encourage those of you who have concerns to post
 them back to the ubuntu-devel list @ Steve et la for discussion. If you
 remember back to UDS, the original idea as discussed was that no
 functionality would be lost (aka, the live cd would get support for
 everything the alternate cd could do). They've come close, but RAID support
 didn't quite happen.

 Note that If the alternates are dropped for ubuntu, going forward, if you
 wish to install with RAID (or simply want to use an alternative installer)
 you still have the option of using the netboot or mini iso.

Ubuntu is dropping something that people love, see:
http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/yydbp/ubuntu_alternate_cds_could_be_dropped_for_1210/
In favor of something that Ubuntu created.  Have I seen this before?
Never mind that some percentage of people can't use the Desktop
installer.  Think of it as a little surprise for new users.

The graphical installer really shouldn't be locking up on 512MB, it
should be erroring out instead.  The problem is, the lockups aren't
consistent, unless you use the manual partitioning.

This is a severe problem, especially for 1st time users.  I've filed a bug:

Persistence is when the livecd (on usb) is copied (not installed) onto
a disk with the special file that enables peristence.   It's also very
very slow.  Better to run the installer, and install the system onto
the usb disk.

i guess it's pointless to report bugs on pulseaudio in lubuntu

2012-04-16 Thread Karl Anliot
after installing pulseaudio, youtube in chromium crashes consistently,
and the mute button on my keyboard is broke.  I guess It's pointless
to report these... coz lubuntu doesn't use pulseaudio?
