2009-05-12 Thread Dean Mellas
It seems to get more interesting... 1. Since everything worked before Intrepid, I though it might be either drivers, specifically, or systems integration (Ubuntu), in general - wasn't that the switchover from ALSA to Pulse? 2. But since all other audio systems had no similar problems, I

Actually, I just tried your suggestion - going back to ALSA with default typed-in in place of dmix (as there is no drop-down to choose it, like with the other options). While that got rid of the original trouble initializing... problems, as you said it would, it did not provide useful audio for

The delay in recognizing the laptop lid event for my HP nc6140 continues in Jaunty (first reported in Intrepid). It still requires a long delay before the event is handled. Currently I use only blank screen on the event, and the screen will blank, for a moment, much, much later, as I continue

OK, here's the latest... I went back to the original machines installed from the live-cd and reloaded Synaptic but STILL found all software in the repositories to be un-authenticated. Next, I switched the repository sources from the generic us.archive.ubuntu.com entry to the specific

I managed to do the final test a little earlier than I had expected I could... reproducing the exact same install scenario, but all went well without issue. All repositories seem authenticated. Strangely, this seems to have just been a first day only issue and I can only guess it was a

I have confirmed that the sluggish graphics I reported here for Ubuntu 8.10 is gone in 9.04 today - specifically, the Java performance is restored. Neither have I experienced the snowing effect, also reported here. So, I am unsure of the official way to close this bug report. There is no fix in

I let the default boot and checked the live-cd feature set first, then proceeded to the almost default install (only deviating for manual partitioning with swap and a single ext4 root partition) to check all the standard features and enable the full 3D desktop support (onboard Intel). All very

There were a lot of questions raised in the original report back in January. Here are updates I have been following the progress of another bug (288650) and noticed that running the Java VM with a suggested option as a workaround: java -Dsun.java2d.pmoffscreen=false YourProgramGoesHere

I don't think my bug is a duplicate, namely because I had the trouble BEFORE the linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic update - on my system. I was also noticing the date on the bug report you referenced because the timing doesn't match the way the updates came in for me. I'm guessing that the reporter

It seems like the help is always 180 degrees backwards for Avidemux on Pulse Audio systems. At least it always is for my systems. Did you try the following: In Avidemux do Edit - Preferences - Audio (and change the Audio Output to Pulse Audio). It is originally ALSA, and I know most

As a matter of fact, a lot of updates came in yesterday. Several were for the PulseAudio system and addressed the underlying scheduling and priority issues for the audio service threads. So you may be onto something. In my original post I debated mentioning the audio trouble with AVIDeMux

I would not have even reported the snowing effect, except that I think everybody can notice it on nearly any system, as opposed to the trouble I am experiencing with my own animations. I'm believe both are symptomatic of the same underlying problems. And yes, once a snowing window (for any

Public bug reported: Ubuntu 8.10 seems to have a sluggish graphics stack. It seems to affect all applications, so it may be down in the X server, one or more of the APIs, or even the graphics card drivers, but I see the effects on all computers, regardless of the graphics card or application.
