[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1715792] [NEW] GTK file picker dialogue shows too many mount points

2017-09-07 Thread naught101
Public bug reported:

I'm running kubuntu 17.10 beta, and the GTK file picker dialogue (for
all GTK apps - e.g. firefox, thunderbird, GIMP, agave) is listing a
tonne of useless mount points in the left-most panel:

  On at least Ubuntu 15.10 and 16.04 with the radeon driver (version
  7.5.0+git20150819-0ubuntu1 on 15.10, version 7.6.1-1ubuntu2 on 16.04)
  trying to suspend or hibernate a Lenovo G50-80 with Intel HD Graphics
  5500 (Broadwell GT2) and Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Sun XT
  [Radeon HD 8670A/8670M/8690M / R5 M330] freezes the system when the
  radeon driver is loaded even if it is not in use. Turning off discrete
  graphics using the BIOS settings and using only the integrated Intel
  chip so that the radeon driver is not loaded does not cause this
  problem. Also, this problem does not occur on Ubuntu 14.04.4 using the
  kernel and X stack (LTS Enablement Stack) from 15.10 (Wily) even with
  the radeon driver loaded.

  There is a message from the radeon driver during boot, "radeon
  :04:00.0: VCE init error (-22)." which is an upstream issue
  occurring on other distributions too and is reported at
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92722. However, even if
  the radeon driver is loaded, suspend/hibernate does not freeze on,
  e.g., Fedora 23 and, as mentioned above, even Ubuntu 14.04.4. I have
  tried using S1 instead of S3 sleep to no avail.

Hrm... replacing fglrx-updates with fglrx worked for me - I suspect
that's the same as reinstalling, since they're both at the same version
at the moment. Perhaps this was caused by a kernel update that didn't
update the driver module?

  After installing the latest fglrx-updates package on Ubuntu 12.10
  (fglrx-updates_9.000-0ubuntu3_amd64) I have the same issue that was
  present before AMD fixed switchable graphics on PowerXpress 4.0 cards
  (such as my HD 6470M coupled with the intel HD Graphics 3000 of my
  intel Core i5-2430M). The X server has a segmentation fault and the
  low graphics mode is activated.

  https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=quantal

  WORKAROUND: Follow carefully the instructions here:
  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#WORKAROUND

  As per Nick Andrik, this is a version regression of xserver-xorg-
  video-intel from 2.20.2 (working and in below mentioned PPA) and
  2.20.3. The regression commit is
  http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-
  intel/commit/?id=05dcc5f1699ba90fc14c50882e8d4be89bc4a4f9 .

  Upstream fglrx has published a new version ( 13.1 ) of the driver
  which seems to solve this issue. No need to revert the commit in the
  Intel driver any more.

  ATTENTION:
  1. If you choose the integrated GPU (via Catalyst or via amdconfig --px-igpu) 
and your X server crashes on startup, then your are probably affected by this 
bug:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1088220

  2. If your system includes an old ATI GPU card (Radeon HD 2x00 3x00 4x00) 
which is not supported any more by fglrx drivers, then probably you suffer from 
this bug:

I'm hitting this bug, and I can't get any of the workarounds to work.
I'm on Kubuntu Saucy, and I've tried fglrx, fglrx-updates, fglrx from
x-edgers (https://launchpad.net/~xorg-

the AMD binary driver (13.4, 13.9, and 13.11 beta).  Nothing works, I
get segfaults with everything, straight after it tries to load GLX (the
segfault byte identifier is different each time, but I guess that could
be because of un-related code changes). I didn't try the andrikos
version (https://launchpad.net/~andrikos/+archive/ppa) because it's not
available for saucy. Any ideas what else I can try?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 939863] Re: Warning message from ffmpeg program needs update

2013-10-31 Thread naught101
I agree with reagle. From a user's perspective, this is a really low
move on the part of the libav/ubuntu/debian team. Regardless of the
semantics, the name ffmpeg is inevitably linked to the ffmpeg.org
project. The message THIS PROGRAM IS DEPRECATED is highly deceptive,
especially now that ffmpeg and libav have started to diverge a bit more.
While it may be true that the /usr/bin/ffmpeg link in ubuntu is
deprecated, it's just an outright lie to say that the ffmpeg program is
deprecated. That's like saying making a link from msword to lowriter,
and then stating that Microsoft Office is deprecated.

Anyway, it's been, what, 3 or 4 versions of Ubuntu since this switch was
made? Why not just deprecate it already? Or is there some fear that then
users will start installing the real ffmpeg (e.g. from
https://launchpad.net/~jon-severinsson/+archive/ffmpeg), and using that
instead?

Title:
  Warning message from ffmpeg program needs update

Status in the libav multimedia framework:
  Fix Released
Status in “libav” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “libav” source package in Precise:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The warning message from the ffmpeg program needs to be updated. It should 
instead say
  *** THIS PROGRAM IS DEPRECATED ***\n
  This program is only provided for compatibility 
  and will be removed in a future release. Please 
  use avconv instead.\n

  This is patched in Debian. See [1].

  [Impact] - Users are seeing a different message everytime they run the
  ffmpeg program. The original message is causing confusion amongst
  general users of the ffmpeg who are not aware that the ffmpeg program
  provided in Ubuntu is the ffmpeg program originally made available
  from the Libav project.

  [Development Fix] - Message just needs to be updated. See [1]. Note
  that the ffmpeg binary has been dropped completely in the development
  tree in libav.

  [Stable Fix] - See [1].

  [Test Case] - Just run the ffmpeg program. Running 'ffmpeg -L' is sufficient 
to see the warning. The original warning reads,
  This program is not developed anymore and is only 
  provided for compatibility. Use avconv instead 
  (see Changelog for the list of incompatible changes).\n
  The new warning should read,
  *** THIS PROGRAM IS DEPRECATED ***\n
  This program is only provided for compatibility 
  and will be removed in a future release. Please 
  use avconv instead.\n

  [Regression Potential] - There's no potential regression.
