[Bug 439783] Re: Regression: devicekit-power does not display remaining battery time

2009-12-24 Thread Scott Minster
I've been experiencing this bug as well on my HP Pavilion dv6000 ever
since Karmic.  I think the problem is related to the 'rate' that is
reported through lshal and devicekit.  The former reports the rate as
-1:

$ lshal | grep battery | grep rate
  battery.charge_level.rate = 0  (0x0)  (int)
  battery.reporting.rate = -1  (0x)  (int)

Devicekit reports the rate as way too little:

$ devkit-power --dump | grep energy
energy:  47.8336 Wh
energy-empty:0 Wh
energy-full: 69.1456 Wh
energy-full-design:  88.8 Wh
energy-rate: 0.0148 W

When I divide the full value by the rate, I get 4672 hours, which is
much more than I can get out of my battery.  Just playing with numbers,
it looks like the rate may be off by a factor of 1500.  If it were 22.2
watts, then the energy-full/energy-rate would be about 3.1, which is
much closer to what I can actually get from this battery.

Of course, this is assuming that GPM even uses the devicekit numbers at
all.  If I get motivated later, maybe I'll look through the GPM source
to see if I can find where and how the time remaining is calculated.

This is likely the same bug as
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+bug/370999.  Burning
progress over 2 gigabytes fails.  That bug references upstream bug
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582261, which indicates it is
fixed in 2.26.3.  IIRC, Karmic will have 2.28, so this fix should be
there.

[Bug 249373] Re: gnome session does not restore the previous session

2008-12-29 Thread Scott Minster
Replacing XSMP for a better way is a noble goal.  However, it is
ridiculous that Gnome released 2.24 with a half done version of the new
protocol and no trace of the XSMP support.  That simply speaks to bad
management at the Gnome project.

This bug is not something Ubuntu can fix at this point, but I hope that
those in charge of Ubuntu learn from this problem.  It appears that
Gnome cannot be trusted to release a new version without major
regressions, and Ubuntu needs to rigorously test new versions before
committing to them.  This regression was noticed in mid July, 3 months
before 8.10 was released.  If this had been evaluated then, Ubuntu could
have avoided releasing a version with this problem (either fixed
somehow, not releasing 2.24, or going the Gentoo route and holding the
session manager at 2.22).

[Bug 302570] Re: g-p-m doesn't save charge and discharge profiles

2008-12-20 Thread Scott Minster
It looks like this value is used in the code and not configurable.  I
downloaded the source and found were 'battery.charge_level.design' was
used in src/gpm-cell.c.  Instead of changing that, however, I just
commented out its usage in gpm_cell_get_id() to not use that value in
constructing the ID.  See the attached patch for information.

I think this might have been how it used to be, because I had older
~/.gnome2/gnome-power-manager/profile-Primary-{dis,}charging.csv files
that didn't have the "design" ID.

Obviously, this patch is just a quick hack.  I don't know enough about
g-p-m to know what is the correct solution.  Whether that is just
removing the charge_level code I commented out, or making it an option,
or something entirely different.

Does anyone know if there is an upstream gnome bug for this issue?

[Bug 302570] Re: g-p-m doesn't save charge and discharge profiles

2008-12-19 Thread Scott Minster
I have a similar problem on my HP Pavilion dv6700 laptop.
'battery.reporting.design' is constant, but
'battery.charge_level.design' changes.  Is there any way to configure
g-p-m to use the former value, or is this something set in the code?

[Bug 297086] Re: Rhythmbox crashes after downloading a podcast

2008-12-12 Thread Scott Minster
I've seen the same problem with Rhythmbox since upgrading to Intrepid.
Searching the bug reports, I found this one:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/276603, which
references this Gnome bug:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=554556.  The description isn't
exactly the same, but the stack trace is very similar.  The report
indicates that the bug was fixed upstream.  The Ubuntu bug has
instructions for building your own patched version.  Maybe Ubuntu could
apply this patch into an update for the Intrepid version?

[Bug 241206] Re: On Hardy screen saver never displays

2008-10-22 Thread Scott Minster
I can confirm that this is happening on my Hardy laptop.  It didn't used
to happen on Hardy, but now does.  The screen saver looks like it's
going to kick in, but then at the last moment it stops and the screen
appears as before.  This also prevents power saving (like turning off
the screen).  If I lock the screen, the screen saver seems to work
normally, including turning off the screen.

It almost seems like as the screen saver is engaging, it thinks detects
a keypress or mouse movement and thinks it should not screen save.  When
I lock the screen, it immediately brings up the password box to unlock
it, as if I had pressed a key or moved the mouse.
