No worries. Thanks for apologising and explaining why you did it that
way.

Main thing is the bug gets fixed anyway :)

As I mentioned, I'm only running Linux in Vbox at the moment so I don't
think I'll be able to do any useful testing anyway, but once a Live ISO
is available incorporating the fix I should at least be able to test by
booting that on my real boxes.

It's a bit rich to suggest that this bug has already been reported and
my report is a duplicate of bug 865097, when I reported it over 16
months ago and you only did so yesterday. Seems rather dishonest.

Oh well. I only use Linux occassionally in Virtualbox now anyway, so
won't be able to add any debug information.

[Bug 598879] [NEW] Display shuts off during boot and after upgrade

2010-06-26 Thread doveman
Public bug reported:

I downloaded Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop and have tried booting the ISO from a
USB stick and also installing it to my HD with Wubi. I used PDL-Casper-
RW-Creator to create a persistent file on the USB stick and added the
persistent switch to the Grub4Dos Ubuntu entry.

Unfortunately my experience has been just as bad, if not worse, as when
I tried Ubuntu 8.10 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1015354

When booting the Live iso from my USB stick, my display goes into sleep
mode (IE is receiving no signal) from the moment Ubuntu begins booting
until eventually the desktop appears several minutes later. If I was the
average punter I would probably have assumed it had crashed and
rebooted.

As I have some experience with Linux (barely), I thought to try Ctrl-
Alt-F1, which brought the monitor back to life and showed the terminal.
As soon as I switched back to the main window (Ctrl-Alt-F8 I think) the
display went back into sleep mode.

Once it had booted, I did sudo apt-get update, which worked and then
sudo apt-get upgrade, which did a lot of updates and then sent my
monitor back into sleep mode, requiring me to reboot!

When I tried to boot the Wubi install, again the display went into sleep
mode as soon as Ubuntu started booting but this time the desktop never
appeared and after about 5 minutes I rebooted.

My motherboard is a Gigabyte MA780G-UD3H and I'm using the onboard
HD3200 IGP and a Phenom II X3 720 and 4GB DDR2 1066Mhz RAM.

[Bug 365881] Re: wubi installer's pyrun.exe says no disk

2010-06-26 Thread doveman
I was also getting the Exception error dialog and I had to click
Cancel twice before Wubi appeared.

After reading some of the above comments, I went to Disk Management and
unassigned the drive letter from my card reader. When I tried Wubi again
there were no errors.

This really needs fixing as Wubi is meant to be an easy way for people
to try Ubuntu and scary dialogs are likely to make a lot of people give
up right there.

[Bug 310157] [NEW] Hardware Driver window unusable with VESA driver

2008-12-20 Thread doveman
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-vesa

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation NV31
[GeForce FX 5600] [10de:0312] (rev a1)

xserver-xorg-video-nv v1:2.0.0-1ubuntu3

Nvidia FX5600, Dell D1226H monitor, Sony XBR800 TV

With Ubuntu 8.10, neither LiveCD or Install work in default mode, due to
this bug in the nv driver: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/309702

I can use Safe mode (IE the VESA driver), but the only resolution
available is 640x480. I see the Hardware Driver notification, but when I
click on it, the window that opens doesn't fit on the screen, so I am
unable to see or click on the Activate button.

Kubuntu 8.10 doesn't have this problem. It still only offers 640x480
with the VESA driver, but the Hardware Drivers window is fully visible.

** Summary changed:

- display corrupted with dualhead nvidia card
+ Primary display unusable with dualhead nvidia card and nv driver

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-nv
  
  Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex
- xserver-xorg-video-nv v1:2.1.10-lubuntu2
+ xserver-xorg-video-nv v1:2.1.10-1ubuntu2
  
  Nvidia FX5600, Dell D1226H monitor, Sony XBR800 TV
  
  With both a fresh install and the Live CD, when I have both my VGA CRT
  monitor and my DVI CRT TV connected, the monitor display is just a mess
  of colour, as shown in the attached photo.  Also, switching to a
  terminal window, once the screen is full, it stops refreshing or
  displaying any output and I have to switch to another terminal window
  and back again to see the response to each command I enter.
  
  With the install, I can obtain a desktop by using the vga= switch, but
  there is no mouse pointer, which makes it impossible to use and it still
  had the terminal window problem as described above. With the LiveCD, if
  I boot into Safe mode it works using VESA, but only at 640x480 which is
  too small to be able to access some of the buttons on windows.
  
  After reading Bug #43710 I tracked the problem down to my TV being
  connected on the secondary DVI port. Strangely, unplugging the TV power
  from the wall didn't help, so I guess it must hold a residual charge
  that still enables the PC to detect it. Disconnecting the DVI lead fixed
  it.
  
  It seems that when both my TV and monitor are connected, what happens is
  that xorg uses the TV as the main display (which displays correctly) but
  it's trying to clone it on the monitor, which leads to the problems
  mentioned.
  
  I'll upload a few log and conf files in additional posts.
