[Bug 1565226] Re: update-grub overenthusiastically places root=UUID=XXX (xenial)

2016-04-02 Thread dfsmith
Thanks---grub-pc does not exhibit this behaviour, so it should be good. There may be other people upgrading from trusty (LTS)->xenial (LTS) who hit this issue: is it worth deprecating grub1 on upgrading? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is

[Bug 1565226] [NEW] update-grub overenthusiastically places root=UUID=XXX (xenial)

2016-04-02 Thread dfsmith
Public bug reported: The xenial initramfs will not mount the root partition using the UUID=XXX format when the root drive is mapped (e.g., through a LVM). update-grub builds its menu.lst file with kernel command line parameters for root= as, e.g., kernel /vmlinuz-4.4.0-16-generic

I could remove the 100% device hwC0D0 usage in PowerTop by playing with my mixer switches (Mic feedthrough to Main, etc.). However, this did not change my idle power usage by any significant amount. 20.2W +/- 1W Lenovo ThinkPad T60 Ubuntu/Xfce 12.04 -- You received this bug notification

2009-11-10 Thread dfsmith
This has reared itself again in Karmic. /etc/gdm/Xsession uses /bin/dash as its parser, but sets the $SHELL environment variable to /bin/bash (!). This makes any ~/.profile that uses bash-isms kill the gdm login process. -- shopt xsession error upon login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/60079

[Bug 355778] Re: ATA controller fail on resume

2009-09-22 Thread dfsmith
** SOLVED ** On a hunch, I replaced /sbin/hdparm with a script that told me which processes were running it. Six (6) scripts where setting hdparm on resume! Removing hdparm from the scripts appears to have fixed the problem of the hanging hard disk on resume when on battery. Daniel -- ATA

Not a lot to show on screen unfortunately. The drive verified correctly on reboot (dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=1M - no messages). The fault seems to occur more often when resuming on battery power (3 of 3 so far). This might point to a hardware issue, but Intrepid didn't have this problem.

2009-04-05 Thread dfsmith
Public bug reported: Kernel 2.6.28-11 Resume from suspend mostly works but... On maybe 1 in 5 resumes, the disk controller fails all I/O. On pending reads it will sometimes recover, but on this occasion the kernel paniced (pending write failed?). The desktop prompted me to file a crash report

[Bug 162124] Re: Should be able to set power preferences systemwide, eg. sleep on lid closed on gdm login screen

2008-12-25 Thread dfsmith
I consider this a serious bug. (Scenario 1: another laptop user logs out*, closes the lid, and you find yourself without any battery power for the rest of the day. Scenario 2: log out, close the laptop lid, pack in luggage and the laptop overheats.) There is a work-around fortunately. Edit
