[Bug 946311]

2012-08-29 Thread Nick Coghlan
I think I've hit basically the same problem Oleksij is reporting (blank eDP) when using the ASUS UX31E with an external HDMI monitor and leaving it plugged in while booting (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=844985). Aside from the fact Oleksij uses VGA and I use HDMI, it otherwise

[Bug 551790] Re: lucid update-grub wrong root=UUID=

2011-05-01 Thread Nick Coghlan
I suspect this bug (or one very like it) is what just bit me on the upgrade from Kubuntu 10.10 64-bit to 11.04. It may not be exactly the same though, since in my case the upgrade didn't get confused by multiple valid installs - it just plain picked the wrong drive. Post-install, the reboot

2011-05-01 Thread Nick Coghlan
After booting into the system manually from the GRUB prompt, setting GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true in /etc/defaults/grub and rerunning update-grub was enough to get the system booting again on its own. It turned out the root partition OS prober was choosing wasn't an old one at all, but the /usr

Ah, I didn't even notice that - you're right, it is almost certainly the incorrect profile name that is causing the problem (I was passing in -- medium instead of Medium). Interesting that it worked at *all* in that case (even the semi-automated approach). -- You received this bug notification

2010-12-16 Thread Nick Coghlan
Those are the commands I was trying that didn't work though - soundkonverter would instead quit almost immediately without actually doing anything. That's why I reverted to the semi-automated approach of clicking manually through the GUI buttons - if I didn't, the conversion never even started (I

The actual command was doing the right thing, so the other arguments were definitely ok (and *thank you* for the tool - even the semi- automated setup I was able to get working was orders of magnitude better than manually finding and selecting the new files that needed converting). I didn't

Ah, true, I didn't explain that very well. The way I manage my music is to keep the master copies as FLAC audio (so I should never need to rip the CDs again, even as the popular lossy formats change), and then transcode to the lossy format du jour for use on my current mobile device (at present,

I'd like to add my support for this issue. Trying to do unicode testing for Python 3 core development on Kubuntu is currently very annoying because it is so inconvenient to enter arbitrary unicode characters. Canonical are fond of saying that Kubuntu is just as valued as Ubuntu, it would be nice

This actually looks like a problem on the server end - with the sources list changed to point to gutsy, sudo apt-get update runs into the exact same problem. And it only affects this package - if it was a problem with the server getting hammered, I would expect it to happen on the other
