[Bug 1636395] Re: dnsmasq not working with OpenVPN

2017-06-06 Thread Tim Booth
Hi, I'm having exactly the same problem as described by @raffraffraff - after connection to the VPN the dnsmasq instance handled by NetworkManager no longer makes DNS queries for addresses outside the VPN (eg. google.com) but it can resolve ones internal to the VPN (eg. web- dev.myorg.private).

I had this issue when using live-boot sticks for training purposes, and as I was repacking the image anyway I made the following changes: dpkg-divert --local --rename --divert /lib/udev/write_net_rules.real /lib/udev/write_net_rules dpkg-divert --local --rename --divert

Seems to me that /lib/udev/cdrom_id --eject-media $device as called by /lib/udev/rules.d/60-cdrom_id.rules is trying too hard. It should respect the lock flag on the device, maybe with a --force option to eject regardless. Anyway this is surely a udev bug not a kernel bug. TIM ** Package

2010-10-12 Thread Tim Booth
Ok, I had a look at the source and this bug is triggered on line 282 of tview.cpp where mbstowcs is called. Removing this, and just setting the string to something arbitrary, stops the program from crashing but the tree still isn't drawn properly. So I guess this requires more than just a simple

Yep, treeview is totally hosed just now. The backtrace hints at an NX bug, but for anyone tempted to try it I can report that simply recompiling source against WX 2.8 compiles but produces the same result. I suspect there is a fairly simple fix but debugging C++/NX apps requires far more

Public bug reported: Binary package hint: firefox This is very similar to #561124 - LD_LIBRARY_PATH breaks icedtea plugin. However, the fix suggested there will only deal with the Java plugin, not Java Webstart which is launched as a separate helper application. I therefore filed a new bug - I

[Bug 554449] Re: adobe-flashplugin is virtual error when installing flash from Adobe site.

2010-05-04 Thread Tim Booth
Hi, The standard solution for this is to enable the 'multiverse' repo and then install flashplugin-installer. This basically does the same as the scripts linked above but in a neater way, and doesn't trample on the 'alternatives' system. To see what Ubuntu thinks it is using as the current

An addendum: It appears that the plugin used for flash in Firefox is actually controlled by the 'mozilla-flashplugin' alternative, contrary to what I said above. So - if you want to try out the native pre-release 64-bit plugin from Adobe in Firefox without first uninstalling any alternative

Is your audio provided by snd-hda-intel? If not then disregard this. I think these issues could be caused by alsa kernel modules, as suggested earlier. My current workaround is i) Ensure correct audio chipset model is loaded: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf (confirm audio chipset with
