[Bug 529379] Re: in Lucid, automonting devices doen't work with pcmanfm

2010-02-28 Thread Alan Young
I've just come across this same problem booting from the Lubuntu Lucid
Alpha 3 LiveCD on my Intel MacBook Pro.

One of the features I most appreciate about pcmanfm is the way all
connected volumes are detected and listed in the side pane of the
pcmanfm window, where a simple click allows the relevant volume to be
mounted and browsed.

What first caught my attention was the lack of an entry for the
MacBook's own internal HDD in the pcmanfm side pane. I then tried
plugging in a variety of USB sticks, again without any of them showing
up there (or anywhere else in the gui). So, yes - we're back to the
command line if we want to actually mount anything.

I think this might have something to do with the move from pcmanfm 0.5.2
to pcmanfm 0.9.0 (see http://blog.lxde.org/?p=616) and the deprecation
of HAL in favour of gvfs (http://blog.lxde.org/?p=538).

That said, the LXDE blog http://blog.lxde.org/?p=616 cited above does
list 8. Basic auto-mount (provided by gvfs) as of the Major
improvements offered under pcmanfm 0.9.0...

Hope this is helpful.

[Bug 496908] Re: Not clear what update this installer will do

2009-12-20 Thread Alan Young
I actually thought it meant, check for an updated version of this
installer i.e. clicking the button would simply check for (and, if
found, install) a newer version of ubiquity - *not* any of the other
software updates that might otherwise be dealt with post-installation.

I guess this underlines Jonathon's point about how unclear/ambiguous
this button option is...

[Bug 352179] [NEW] trackpad scrolling poor in Acer Aspire One 10.1

2009-03-31 Thread Alan Young
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

With the 10.1 inch version of the Acer Aspire One, scrolling using the
trackpad is difficult to use. It would appear to be restricted to a very
narrow border of the trackpad and cannot be achieved reliably.

This has been seen with Jaunty alphas 4-6 and with daily-live from
24/03. This is a regression from 8.10.

Further reports of this problem can be found in:

[Bug 212028] Re: Xubuntu 8.04 beta not mounting my other partitions

2008-04-08 Thread Alan Young
Don't know if this is a bug as such, more of a wishlist item perhaps?
The wish being that Xubuntu liveCDs should detect internal hard drive
partitions and iconify them in the gui, allowing the user to graphically
mount and then browse them.

If I put an Ubuntu (i.e. Gnome) liveCD in my machine,  click on Places 
Computer, Nautilus opens a window containing an icon for the partition
on my machine's internal hdd on which my regular, everyday version of
Ubuntu is installed. Clicking on this icon gives me the option to mount
this, which in turn allows me to browse the entire installed filesystem
on this internal hdd using Nautilus. Ubuntu liveCDs from Feisty onwards
have enabled this procedure. (As I recall, the original Warty liveCD
allowed graphical access to internal partitions - by an icon on the
desktop if I remember correctly - but such access was not available from
liveCDs from Hoary-Edgy inclusive.)

However, even the latest daily build of the Xubuntu Hardy liveCD does
not enable the above gui-based procedure - as belovedmonster discovered
when trying to access Windows partitions using the beta version.

What makes this odd is that I *can* access the internal hdd partition on
my machine using another xfce-based liveCD - ZenwalkLive 5.0. This would
appear to automount the partition under /mnt, which I can then browse
graphically using Thunar (by clicking on the /mnt icon in the
'Filesystem' window -  this icon being slightly differently from the
rest, indicating I guess that something of interest is indeed mounted
there).

So why should Xubuntu not allow graphical access to the contents of
internal partitions?

N.B. this is not necessarily a request that Xubuntu should automount
them as ZenwalkLive does - merely that it should match the functionality
of Gnome-based Ubuntu liveCDs in allowing the user to choose to mount
them graphically.

Me too - When I login, the bottom panel is automatically hidden. When I

upgrading Gutsy to Beta a couple of days ago. However, I have none of

[Bug 131611] Re: [Tribe 4] Progress bar isn't aligned with the logo

2007-08-27 Thread Alan Young
Hi,

This looks like the same bug I filed the other day (#134768). And, yes,
it's still there on Tribe 5. But my observation is that the whole
progress bar is oversized - too long, too thick and too blurry (compared
with my normal Feisty install) - with all the extra length going to the
right, hence the *appearance* of its being misaligned to the right.

[Bug 134768] Progress bar problems + failure to set usplash.conf values in Ubuntu tribe 4 and tribe 5 i386 and amd64 desktop cds

2007-08-25 Thread Alan Young
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: usplash

When booting either Tribe 4 or Tribe 5 desktop cd, in both i386 and
amd64 variants, progress bar is outsized (on my screen, extends over
16.8cm rather than the usual 10.5cm and is 1 or 2 mm taller) and is
displaced to right of screen (i.e. it starts on the correct place +
extra length is all to the right). Logo + ubuntu above the progress
bar is correct size but resolution seems poor.

xorg loads correctly, but on examination /etc/usplash.conf contains no
values for either xres or yres:

# Usplash configuration file
xres=
yres=

Normal values (i.e. for my installed amd64 Ubuntu Feisty system) are
xres=1024 yres=768).

Graphics card is an nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 4000]

Monitor is a Compaq FP170

The most recent desktop cd to produce a normal usplash on my machine was
the 2007-07-30 Daily Build (though that had problems of its own i.e. I
needed to manually enter startx at a prompt in order to get xorg to
load - this has _not_ been a problem for me on Tribe 4 or Tribe 5
desktop cds).

[Bug 99538] Re: Feisty usb stick Cannot eject volume

2007-04-15 Thread Alan Young
Some of the recent postings here have prompted me to re-test some of the
assertions I made in my March 31st bug report.

I first of all try unmounting the following devices from the gui (BEFORE
trying Martin Pitt's suggestion):

External USB hard drive: PROBLEM REPLICATED. Right-click on desktop
icon; left click on item 10 on context menu (which reads Eject):
problem re-occurs.

USB Pen Drive: NOT REPLICATED. Right-click on desktop icon; left click
on item 10 on context menu (which reads Eject): device successfully
unmounted.

CD-ROM: NOT REPLICATED. Right-click on desktop icon; left click on item
10 on context menu (which reads Eject): CD successfully unmounted and
ejected.

I THEN try Martin's suggestion:

sudo mv /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-storage-policy.fdi ~

followed by rebooting.

THIS SOLVES THE PROBLEM WITH EXTERNAL USB HARD DRIVES: Right-click on
desktop icon; left click on item 10 on context menu (which now reads
Unmount Volume): device successfully unmounted, with NO ERRORS
REPORTED.

I next move the .fdi file back to /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/,
and reboot: The USB External Hard Drive Problem RETURNS.

I then repeat Martin's suggestion, moving the .fdi file back to my /home
directory, and try again - this time WITHOUT REBOOTING: the USB External
Hard Drive Problem is ONCE AGAIN SOLVED.

Finally, I check the properties of the (now much-traveled!) 10-storage-
policy.fdi file: it was modified on Fri 30 Mar 2007 at 19:22:05 BST,
which is completely consistent with when this bug started affecting me.

Curious that for me at least, this problem (prior to implementing
Martin's workaround) now seems to be confined to External USB Hard
Drives.  I'm still pretty sure that back on 31st March, I was having
these problems trying to unmount all kinds of removable devices / other
media from my AMD64 system. Seems that other people have been having
more general problems too...

[Bug 99538] Re: Feisty usb stick Cannot eject volume

2007-03-31 Thread Alan Young
Right through this evening I've been encountering what seems to be the
same bug each time I try to unmount/eject any type of removable drive or
removable media (including a cd-rom as well as couple of usb hard
drives) from my AMD64 version of feisty (see screenshot below).

This problem occurs whether the devices are mounted singly or in
multiple.

As far as I recall, this was not happening yesterday evening, so I'm
tempted to attribute this to something I picked up as part of this
morning's regular updates - in particular, my suspicions center around
the new gnome-mount_0.5-2ubuntu6_amd64.deb package (Modified: Fri 30 Mar
2007 20:03:45 BST) now sitting in my /var/cache/apt/archives directory.

Could this be the culprit here?
