[Bug 202821] Re: [hardy] automount method changed

2008-08-25 Thread tz
If I disable automount, when I try to use the panel mounter, I get a box saying "Mount Error", no other text, a DoNotEnter icon, and an OK button. So in Hardy, the choices are either automounting the half-dozen partitions on my USB mirror drive, or not being able to mount at all. Why does each ne

Much the same thing. The whole process is horrible. I've tried 20 times (yes, literally 20 times) so have 20 /tmp/turds all with the same failed program. It used to run partway then timeout, then fail. Each of these attempts take 10-20 minutes. I COULD do "apt-get dist- upgrade", but that is h

It would probably be possible to add a "Prompts: always | overwrite | never" tag to the Debian control file, then process all those that have it set to never, then unknown, then overwrite, then always. The sledgehammer approach would be to kill any dpkg -i that prompts and have the manager continu

The plain driver was superseded in newer kernels by the airprime driver which was designed for EVDO modems and is usually detected correctly. Some modems use the cdc_acm driver but such are apparently unaffected by this bug as it uses a different serial method. -- Support for maxSize to usb-seria

Mine is an avaratec 3715, not any kind of dell. Also, the "duplicate" should work in reverese. My complaint is more that the "help" for the problem points to a place that is of absolutely no help. Yes, I want hibernate fixed - or even not lock the screen, but as much or more I want it to tell me

For me, you can either apply the patch or do something similar. There is a larger problem here and this would be a THIRD proposed fix (the first two are 1. a patch, or 2. something that would disable or warn on creating a swapfile in the first place) Filesystems that refuse to umount - for any re

So by "not supporting" you mean you will purposely leave bombs which might destroy the filesystem? Fine, disable swapfiles, or issue big ugly warnings that it will destroy your system if you activate one under ubuntu, but if you aren't going to do that, this should be a higher priority. It isn't

Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager My laptop used to suspend correctly (prerelease Dapper). It now won't, but I've updated some things for other hardware (rt2500, etc.). Hibernate was more quirky (maybe because it took too long to restore and I wasn't patient enough).

I don't have the new kernel. I have three changes which make it work on my Averatec for the internal rt2500 card. I don't know if all are necessary or if just one or two are required. 1. In the driver itself, rtmp_init.c, right at the end, there is an #if which switches del_timer and del_timer_s

I also had to add irqpoll to the bootup (in /boot/grub/menu.lst, where it says "kernel ... vmlinuz ... ro". I haven't tried removing the option from xorg, but my Avaratec now works. I added the irqpoll since I got the message that IRQ185 wasn't being handled. I think the irq "multiplexer" in the
