[Bug 59695] Re: High frequency of load/unload cycles on some hard disks may shorten lifetime

2012-03-17 Thread Yves-Eric Martin
@JoonasSaarinen It is normal only if done not too frequently. Because otherwise, it can kill a drive. And that is not just theoretical, it can happen much more quickly than you may think: I had a drive with that issue, but very quiet so I did not notice. The result: the drive died in a catastrophi

[Bug 67568] Re: error when opening Rosegarden program: "System timer resolution is too low"

2007-06-14 Thread Yves-Eric Martin
This cannot be fixed in the program itself, as it is not really a bug. While timer resolution (which is provided by kernel) has virtually no impact on your usual tasks (browsing the web, reading your email, even playing mp3s, where the notes are just prerecorded, not generated on the fly), for ser

FYI, under Feisty, this is solved by installing the low latency kernel: sudo apt-get install linux-lowlatency Worked for me, YMMV. -- error when opening Rosegarden program: "System timer resolution is too low" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/67568 You received this bug notification because y

[Bug 102905] Re: RadRails fails to create new rails projects in Eclipse

2007-04-30 Thread Yves-Eric Martin
OK I think I got things to work much better. I had installed rails using apt-get (which happen to get me version 1.2.1). Uninstalled that and reinstalled it using gem instead (now getting version 1.2.3). Updated the paths in Window -> Preferences... -> Rails -> Configuration to point to /var/lib/ge

2007-04-30 Thread Yves-Eric Martin
Now I have reproduced this again and kind of isolated the cause: - In Window -> Preferences... -> Rails -> Configuration, if you leave the "Rails path" empty, then the project creation seems to work. - If you fill in the above "Rails path" with /usr/bin/rails, then these weird error occurs. --

I just had the exact same issue, but managed to fix it by deleting entirely my workspace folder and starting fresh. Did you, like me, try upgrading/downgrading RadRails or Aptana? That may have caused a metadata problem. Try on a fresh workspace and let us know if it works. -- RadRails fails to

This long delay at every boot is most annoying on a laptop, where battery time is precious. Ironically, laptops are also where having an encrypted filesystem makes a lot of sense... More than 3 months after this bug has been submitted, the status is still "Unconfirmed", with an importance "Undecid

I agree with Brad: this should *not* be marked "Fix Released". Facing with the same problem, I googled and found this bug report. I saw the "Fix Released" status and thought "Oh great that's fixed already!" :-) But I did an update/upgrade, and to my great dismay, things are still broken. Someone
