[Bug 1715552] Re: VMWare does not start

2021-04-23 Thread Chris Parker
These instructions worked as well for me with VMWare Player 12.5.9 after upgrading to Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS Desktop with Linux kernel 4.15, thanks! However, I'm now prepping for further upgrade to the latest Ubuntu 21.04 (kernel 5.11), and there seems to be more problems! The distro's shared

This crash is NOT due to any proprietary code, or binary blob. There is a really simple fix for it (that I posted way back in 2010-04-06). Look at comment #4. My fix isn't great, btw. You could still get a buffer overflow. The correct solution would be to check the size of the exec string

Still broken in Maverick however; the latest version of Synaptic in those repositories is 0.63.1ubuntu14. Maverick is supposed to be still supported, so it isn't nice to break it in an update but not fix it also... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs,

[Bug 568310] Re: Video mode corrupted after resume from suspend to RAM

2010-10-28 Thread Chris Parker
For me, with a Nvidia Quadro NVS 50 card, I have this bug with suspend/hibernate the Nouveau video driver also, but these suspend/hibernate functions also work perfectly with the VESA and NV drivers on Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick. The NV driver is slower than Nouveau, of course (ex: play an HD movie

Suspend/Hibernate don't work with Nouveau driver for me either. GPU lockup message appears upon resume from suspend usually. Resume from Hibernate yields garbage graphics display and lockup. I have Nvidia Quadro NVS 50 video card and using Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick). Suspend/Hibernate work fine

The problem here is that the /usr/Brother/Printer/mfc440cn/cupswrapper/brcupsconfpt1 file is returning a *** stack smashing detected *** error. There is a buffer overrun in the char media_command variable in the brcupsconfig.c file. A quick (and rather bad) fix is to make the array larger. I
