[Bug 1801814] Re: Environment overwrites XDG_DATA_DIRS

2020-07-07 Thread Geoff Hickey
I've just run into this on 20.04 also. Installing flatpak broke all the snaps in my Wayland session because of the way flatpak overwrites the XDG_DATA_DIRS envar. It doesn't break snaps in xorg sessions. Removing flatpak to try to make Wayland sessions usable again breaks gnome-session on both xor

[Bug 798414] Re: update-initramfs should produce a more helpful error when there isn't enough free space

2015-10-05 Thread Geoff Hickey
The Ubuntu problem reporter now redirects to this bug whenever there's not enough space on the /boot partition to install a new version of the kernel. This has gotten much more common on systems set up since 2014, because Ubuntu now creates a small, separate /boot partition by default. On systems p

I also ran into this after a partial upgrade of a 14.04 system today. I've seen this before on a different machine after upgrading to 13.10, but in that case 'sudo pam-auth-update --force' fixed the problem. This time that doesn't help. -- You received this bug notification because you are a memb

This is vmware workstation, but I just tried vmware player on the same system, and it also crashed while trying to start a VM (the VM started, but vmware player crashed.) This latest test is with 0.1.12: geoff@serenity:~$ aptitude show overlay-scrollbar Package: overlay-scrollbar N

2010-08-08 Thread Geoff Hickey
Another workaround that doesn't require you to copy any files: Go to System/Preferences/Startup Applications, and edit the UPS Monitor entry, and change the Command field to this: /bin/sh -c 'cd /usr/share/icons/gapcmon && /usr/bin/gapcmon' This just changes to the icons directory before executi

2008-06-11 Thread Geoff Hickey
I grabbed 3.2.9-1ubuntu1 from hardy-proposed, but I ran into a couple of problems. First, if I install it after purging the old version (3.2.9-1), it works ok, except that it still fails to create a PID file in /var/run. I'm not sure why. But the process does daemonize and I verified that it's wor

2008-04-25 Thread Geoff Hickey
I ran into this also. You can reproduce it without running an upgrade though: just install motion with a webcam plugged in. If the default settings in the new /etc/motion.conf script installed with the package will work with the webcam, the process won't return. It looks like the default should be
