[Bug 1348890] Re: Asus UX32LN: Brightness keys Fn+F5 and Fn+F6 don't generate evdev event

2015-07-08 Thread Alexey Loukianov
Vasya, it is not ASUS fault and they have nothing to fix here. This
problem is a low priority bug in DRM/Intel and it could only be fixed on
DRM/Intel/kernel side. ASUS has nothing to do with it, it is not a bug
in their ACPI DSDT code.

2015-05-28 Thread Alexey Loukianov
Here is this bug reported upstream by me: 
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92391
It was closed as duplicate with a reference to this one: 
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81762

It is not a problem with device initialization, it is rather a problem
with device driver not initializing some fields in device op.region with
a values expected by ACPI code. There was an experimental kernel branch
which is expected to fix this bug but I'm not certain what is current
status on this. Looks like there is next to none activity in DRM/Intel
bugzilla report #81762 so chances seem to be low that we would get a
proper fix anytime soon.

2014-10-14 Thread Alexey Loukianov
In russian:
Тег  kernel-bug-exists-upstream предполагает, что этот же баг есть в трекере у 
поставщика компонента - в данном случае это ядро linux. То есть если тег 
проставлен - предполагается, что на kernel.org это баг есть и о нём 
разработчики ядра знают. Так что да. если на kernel.org баг не отрепорчен - 
надо бы его втуда отрепортить, иначе мало шансов, что баг в итоге починят.

In english:

If a report is marked with kernel-bug-exists-upstream tag it implies
that the same bug had been reported to upstream vendor of the bugged
component in question - it is linux kernel in this particular case. So
yep, in case there is no bug report on kernel.org for this bug it would
be great if you would report it there so the bug might got noticed by
kernel developers and would be eventually fixed.

[Bug 371897]

2012-04-18 Thread Alexey Loukianov
(In reply to comment #347)
 Apparently Wine has again rejected a winepulse patch after Maarten Lankhorst
 put a bunch of work into improving it in his wine/multimedia.git repo
 (http://repo.or.cz/w/wine/multimedia.git).

Would you please provide some ground for your statement about rejection
of the patch?

As far as I can see from wine-devel mailing list log, Maarten had been -
and most probably is still - working on this patch for quite a long
time. Last time he tried to send it to wine-patches, which was try 12,
had only been ten days ago. The patch is listed at
http://source.winehq.org/patches/ page and is at New state - which is
not Rejected obviously. AFAIRK Alexandre was out on vacation during
that period of time, and that is a viable reason why hadn't been any
conclusion made about this patch. Another thing to note is that there
were no feedback about try 12 version of patch on the wine-devel list.
I wouldn't be surprised if this patch would be ignored unless there
would be some positive feedback received from other sound subsystem
developers (Andrew, Joerg). Needless to say that accepting a large chunk
of the code at once into Wine tree isn't a thing that commonly happens.
My expectations are that - likely - this patch would finally find its
way into Wine, but it won't happen right here and now.

[Bug 371897]

2012-03-13 Thread Alexey Loukianov
(In reply to comment #341)
 I am (unluckly) well aware how buggy PA is. Point is, just look at the 
 comments
 of this bug report. Look at the answers we've been given ...
 ...
 Really, I appreciate the dev's work on such a big and complicated project as
 Wine is, but some news about this old (yet persistent) issue could help
 

Sorry for delaying my answer for such a long time, but I have been
having some medical issues last months preventing me from using
computers.

Fact is that I'm not a Wine developer, so I can't provide you with an
official position on point. Still, I've been monitoring Wine's
Bugzilla and wine-development list for a pretty long period of time so I
can share with you my conclusions on the topic I had made through
observations. Here they are:

a) We all know a sad fact that not all people officially working on
bugzilla maintenance are always polite and unbiased. On the contrary,
most of the times you should expect a bit of rudeness and/or tension
trying to get your bug not CLOSED WONTFIX, a patch accepted into the
Wine tree, e.t.c. Personally I don't like this much but it is the way it
is and it works more or less, keeping in mind the amount of bug reports
devs get posted with every day.

b) Audio subsystem rewrite we've been originally told about had been
done, but not in the way it had been originally thought of. AFAIRK,
initial intent was to get rid of all the old drivers, implement the only
one instead, thus decreasing the maintenance burden from having to
support N drivers into having to support 1 driver. It had been thought
that OpenAL would serve as a viable backend, but in the end it turned
out not to be a case. Instead Wine's audio subsystem had been rewriten
so sound render path went through mmdevapi interface, and there had been
three mmdevapi driver backends implemented for it: ALSA, OSS and
CoreAudio. As far as I had read on bugzilla, mmdevapi maintainers are
not against having separate PA mmdev driver in general, but as their
time is limited they want to fix most of the outstanding show-stopper
bugs in existing mmdevapi drivers first, and only then considering
something like separate PA mmdevapi driver.

c) So, taking into account what I had written in (b) - current short
term support policy for PA seems to be Wine should work decently enough
with alsa-pulse plugin, in case you have fresh-enough version of
libalsa, alsa-plugins and PA installed, and possible long-term policy
might include something like separate PA driver which would provide some
additional benefits when used over ALSA-alsa-pulse render patch.

 Honestly, I can handle random crashes, loss of data, occasional lag, graphical
 issues (I remember the old times when most games wouldn't even start with
 Wine), but they all get fixed sooner or later... This issue, on the other 
 hand,
 has been carried around for quite a while..

Well, it's not an in-fixable issue, actually. With older Wine versions
you may wish to stick with out-of-tree patch that adds PA driver to the
now obsolete winmm drivers architecture. If you want to use
latest-n-greatest Wine releases (1.4+) - be sure to also use
latest-n-greatest PA and alsa-plugins releases, it would fix most of the
PA vs. Wine problems for you.

You know, Wine devs are not magicians. Audio subsystem rewrite is a huge
thing and it had mostly been done by three people out there (Andrew,
Joerg, Maarten, maybe someone else I had forgot about), so it's not a
big surprise it took a big amount of time, especially knowing the tight
requirements AJ puts on the code that is accepted for inclusion. Dev's
done a great job, sound subsystem works almost perfectly nowdays, and it
is even capable of intelligently workaround some of the bugs of alsa-
plugins that had been there for years. Looking at the quality curve
Wine's audio subsystem had been gaining recently - I won't be surprised
if some time later this year (say, this summer) there won't be any
problems with using Wine vs. PA.

(In reply to comment #339)
 The only answers you'll get will be either whine at
 your distro's mainteiners and make them update alsa-plugins to the latest git
 (and it still won't solve this problem) ...

Fire up bugs please in case you've got problem after compiling and
installing latest alsa-plugins from git. Whining is a cool thing but the
only way to get bugs fixed is to fire up bugs and do anything you can to
sort them out.

 or remove pulsaudio and go back to alsa (because who needs pulse?
 On a totally unrelated topic, switch to Netscape, no need for new 
 fancy browsers or new web standards)... 

You don't know what you're talking about. PA is a buggy thing, alsa
pulse plugin is also a buggy thing, and even default ALSA's dmix+plug
setup is a buggy thing. Wanna details? Monitor wine-bugs list for
messages by Andrew Eikum and Jörg Höhle - they are working really hard
to workaround all the bugs in ALSA+dmix+PA+Wine that had been reported
so far.

 So yeah, never thought I'd say this, but if you need audio output you should
 really consider a dual boot system with Linux and Windows, Wine simply won't
 work as for now.
 PROVE ME WRONG AND FIXE AUDIO ISSUES WITH PULSE PLEASE.

In case you wanna be 100% sure about compatibility - dual booting is a
good choice. If you can handle some problems - Wine isn't a bag choice
either.

2011-10-13 Thread Alexey Loukianov
(In reply to comment #335)
 FWIW, feedback on the forum is that this is fixed.
Which one of this is supposed to be fixed?

 If the minimum version of alsa-plugins needed is 1.0.24 (comment 331)...
Read my comment once again: absolute minimum is 1.0.24 as with earlier versions 
you wouldn't get any sound at all from Wine+ALSA+PA combo (or it would hang 
very quickly, see bugs #28282 and #28066). 

Typical error message for too old alsa-plugins version is something like:
ALSA lib pcm_pulse.c:1008:(_snd_pcm_pulse_open) Unknown field handle_underrun

Since the release of the alsa-plugins v.1.0.24 there were a lot of other
PA-related fixes commited into git so one wishing to get best of it have
to download, compile and install git HEAD version of alsa-plugins.
Actually it should be done by distro package maintainers as alsa-plugins
release cycle seems to be too slow to deliver fixes timely to the users
who need them.

(In reply to comment #334)
 I thought that PulseAudio is in charge of everything by default, and
 when an app (like Wine) thinks it's using ALSA in this setup, it's actually
 using a wrapper provided by PulseAudio that translates ALSA calls to 
 PulseAudio
 calls?

It's actually a bit mixed. Apps are expected to use ALSA through a thing
called alsalib (a.k.a. libalsa). This thing supports a concept of
plugins (which are called - you guess - alsa plugins). Good examples
of plugin are dmix and plug which are well-known to anyone who had ever
been hand-configuring ALSA using asoundrc. Another example of alsa-
plugin is a pulse plugin which is also provided by ALSA dev-team. This
plugin acts as forward mechanism towards PA. Most of the problems with
PA usually were caused by bugs in PA itself. On the other hands some
bugs were caused by deficiency in pulse alsa-plugin. Yeah, I know that
The Big Picture of the Sound Subsystem is a bit complicated in ALSA+PA
enabled world :-).

2011-10-11 Thread Alexey Loukianov
(In reply to comment #330)
 Short question:
 Is PA 1.0 a hard requirement for getting stable sound under wine/alsa/PA 
 combo?

Quick answer: my tests shows that the hard requirement is to have recent
enough alsa-plugins (at least v.1.0.24). Actually there had been a lot
of PA-related fixes to alsa-plugins since 1.0.24 (last one landed to
alsa-plugins git 12 days ago) and tests I tried at home showed great
improvements in overall sound stability under Wine+PA+ALSA in case I
build alsa-plugins from current git HEAD.

As for PA version - everything around versions 0.9.x seemed to smell
like public alpha-test of crappy and extremely buggy software. Almost
every version I had tested so far had a lot of bugs, including ones
unrelated to interoperability with Wine (latency issues, incorrect
manipulations with soundcard hw mixer, rattling, sound distortions,
incompatibilities with other apps, e.t.c.). Latest PA version I had
tested so far was 0.9.23 and I can state that it might be considered
almost bug-free for general use in case coupled with latest ALSA and
alsa-plugins from current git. Don't know it they had fixed or broke
something in 1.0 release and I personally wouldn't be happy to have
almost untested piece of software to be included in F16 at a last
minute. It'd be better to post in into rawhide or into testing and have
volunteers test it before letting it into public. This discussion is an
offtop here so I shut up :-).

2011-10-02 Thread Alexey Loukianov
(In reply to comment #327)
 does mean that those stuck on other Ubuntu versions (or non-Ubuntu distros
 using older PulseAudio versions) may still have issues...

Truth is that those stuck on older version of buggy software would
continue to hit those old bugs in that software. For example
multichannel speakers configuration is a total mess under 10.04 LTS
PulseAudio. The only way to fix it keeping PA installed is to manually
build latest dev snapshot of PA - Ubuntu maintainers seem to have no
interest in backporting fixes onto long term support stable version.
They are content with the fixed for this bug landed into latest
regular Ubuntu version. And so on.

Returning back to Wine, it shouldn't took long for you to look into wine
git logs and conclude that there were some compatibility patches for
proper interaction with PA's alsa-plugin. You should still use the
latest PA and alsa-plugins with a lot of bugfixes though to have
mentioned patches work.

Thus, answering to your initial question: there were some PA
compatibility fixes addressed during Wine's sound subsystem rewrite but
you should always stick to  latest versions of all components of modern
linux desktop sound subsystem to have most old bug fixed (and new
introduced).

P.S. Me personally would prefer to have separate mmdevapi backend for
PulseAudio as it would be more backwards-compatible than sticking with
PA's alsa-plugin emu. Still the final decision is to be made by Wine's
devteam.

2011-09-29 Thread Alexey Loukianov
Good day 2ALL,

As far as I know Andrew Eikum had recently finished dsound re-
implementation over mmdevapi. So looks like it's time to request for
status update on this bug. Stefan, Andrew, what are the plans for the
future regarding Wine interactions with PulseAudio? Would it be separate
mmdevapi backend like one that was mostly working from Maarten
Lankhorst's git or should end-user stick with mmdevapi alsa backend and
rely on pulseaudio alsa-plugin to do the job? Thanks in advance for
clarifications.

P.S. And it may be just the right time to finally close this bug? Wine's
audio subsystem had undergone total rework and it might be reasonable to
file a new bug about mmdevapi should have pulseaudio backend in case
that is really needed to get sound properly working in PA-enabled
environment.

 ... I have read many times that after the
 change of sound architecture in wine the PA driver will be added.

Em, I might be wrong, but I can't recall the claims that the PA driver
would be added after sound system rewrite. AFAIRK, the claims were that
after the sound subsystem rewrite Wine would use OpenAL for the sound
output, and it would be OpenAL side to support actual output backend,
should it be hw-accelerated AL drivers, openal-soft via ALSA or openal-
soft PulseAudio backend. Still, I might be wrong.

 OpenAL turned out to be no good for our purposes, so we went back to the model
 of writing multiple backends in Wine itself...

Stefan, thanks for clarification and the status update. It's a very good
news to hear that PA support would eventually find its way into Wine,
although I still prefer not to use PA at all on my workstation - it's
still a lot of pain jumping over the show-stopping bugs here and there
(for ex., multiple sound distortion bug in SSE/MMX optimized volume
scaler when using multichannel output setups).

[Bug 445849] Re: Highpitched rattling like sound with 5.1 surround configuration

2011-07-26 Thread Alexey Loukianov
Ok, well, I'm mostly from LFS/Gentoo/Fedora side of the table, but this
month I'm working off-site and has to use external HDD with Linux Mint 9
(Ubuntu 10.04 LTS based) Live CD copied into as the main working system.
Speakers setup here is an ordinary 5.1 cheap set from Defender connected
to the MB's build-in HDA codec. Having problems with PulseAudio had
become such a typical thing so I hadn't been surprised to run into high-
pith sound distortions I get as soon as set soundcard to work with
Analog Out 5.1 profile. For a first few weeks I hadn't had enough time
to investigate so the solution was to simply set autospawn = no into
/etc/pulse/client.conf, 'echo pcm.!default plug:dmix  ~/.asoundrc'
and reconfigure all relevant stuff to use alsa instead of pulse
(gstreamer-properties, mplayer, vlc, e.t.c.).

Today I finally had found some time to hunt down this bug. Quick google
search lead me into this bug report, and reading a bunch of comments
made me believe that the problem is related with incorrect PulseAudio
SIMD optimizations and that it might be fixed in ubuntu-proposed and/or
in the diwic/pulseaudio-testing ppa. Unfortunately both ubuntu-testing
and diwic ppa hadn't been able to fix the problem. As for pusle* and
libpulse* packages from lucid-testing - nothing seems to be changed
after installing them. The problems with 5.1 distorted sound remain the
same. Diwic's pulseaudio-testing ppa seems to be maverik-only, but the
diwic/ppa seems to had fresh pulseaudio stuff. It is broken the same was
as the packages in lucid-proposed though.

Trying to investigate a bit mode I had turned off the PA auto spawning
again, killalled pulseaudio and run PULSE_NO_SIMD=1 pulseaudio in the
terminal. Having SIMD optimizations disabled this way fixes the problem:
no more sound distortions caused by smart and cool daemon every desktop
user should use PulseAudio. For now I'm going to export PULSE_NO_SIMD=1
system wide and maybe wait another year till this thing would be finally
fixed in so-called LTS release.

I'm quite disappointed in LTS support policy, really. This bug had been
known for ages, and releasing such a simple thing as a workaround using
aforementioned environment variable should had taken no longer than
about a week. After making suffering people happy by applying workaround
it would be reasonable to implement and test the real fix (for ex.,
rewrite  SIMD assembly optimizations) and then finally release a patched
version that does it right. Looks like Ubuntu's (and thus derivate
distros) support policy is totally the opposite, leaving people suffer
from the bug and hunting around for workarounds themselves (like
switching into using Major Market Share OS or following one of the
numerous FAQ about how to get the f***ing rid of this sh*tty PA on
Ubuntu/Mint/Whatever). *sadface smile*

Upd: Sad so report, but the PULSE_NO_SIMD=1 fixed only one part of the
problem: the high frequency distortion. What had left is the strange
volume pulsation over the channels. The most close match I can imagine
to describe the problem is like someone is sitting at the mixer control
and constantly moves the channel volume fader up and down in cycles. Or
spins balance potentiometer forward-and-backwards. Perceived audio
picture is mad and no-no for normal use. Have to revert back info
disabling PA system wide.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it is perfectly possible to get rid of plymouth in
initramfs and following boot process by simply not installing plymouth themes
packages. Yes, it might require to delete metapackages like mint-meta-*, but I
don't see much trouble in having them uninstalled anyway because the default set

Awesome! Then why the hell is this bug not fixed in latest LTS release? Regular
one-year support releases are just a toys for home linux users while corporate
one tend to use LTS releases for production use. And the fact that the major bug
in LTS release wasn't fixed for months and when a new toy release comes out it
happens that the bug is fixed in it while still being present in LTS release
gives a very good reason to reconsider using something like CentOS/RHEL instead
of Ubuntu/Mint LTS in production environment.

Will take this in account in the future consulting my clients.

If it was really fixed in that 10 days and all people reporting here blaming

it's a shame for Ubuntu. And it is certainly a shame for Mint that this bug is

 Then you can use this as basis to report about Mint's failures to your

It is certainly not. As for clients - unfortunately they prefer working
workstations instead of reports about Mint's failures. About half of linux
installations in production environment I've done last year were based on Mint

reconsider to use Ubuntu instead of Mint in a near future, probably switching to

2010-11-08 Thread Alexey Loukianov
Just got a report from my clients using Linux Mint 9. Today three of
the workstations stalled at boot displaying plymouth animation screen
and doing nothing (this is roughly what the client complaint was).
Knowing about this bug I suggested them to press the C key on the
keyboard. Shortly after the press all stalled workstations continued to
boot normally. So, looks like the bug is still here and awaits to be
fixed.

[Bug 668933] [NEW] autofs5 may fail if map contains utf8 characters

2010-10-30 Thread Alexey Loukianov
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: autofs5

This bug is not in autofs itself, but instead is in smbclient.
Surely a separate bug report should be fired against smbclient but this bug may 
be relatively easy workarounded in autofs5 auto.smb/auto.cifs maps.

Problem with smbclient may be easily demonstrated by examining the
following output:

r...@linuxws03:/etc# LANG=en+US.UTF-8 smbclient -N -gL linuxws03

Server|LINUXWS03|linuxws03 server (Samba, Ubuntu)
Workgroup|WG|WGOFFICE

As you can see, the share named документы (this is russian word
meaning documents) gets lost when smbclient is being executed with C
locale resulting in totally incorrect output Disk|Disk|documents| - in
fact this should be two lines, one for Disk|документы| somehow mangled
to be ASCII-friendly, and another one for Disk|documents|. Yes, this
is a bug in smbclient that should be reported at a separate bug report.
To workaround this bug one may always use UFT-8 locale when running
smbclient and optionally converting the output using something like 
iconv -f utf8 -t ascii -c | grep -v 'Disk||' .

My approach was for to modify auto.smb/auto.cifs by adding 'export
LANG=en_US.UTF-8' to the top of the file in order to fetch correct
shares list. Then some modifications should be done to the awk script
parsing the output:

$SMBCLIENT $smbopts -gL $key 2/dev/null| awk -v key=$key -v 
opts=$mountopts -F'|' -- '
BEGIN   { ORS=; first=1; }
/Disk/  {
if (first) {
print opts
first=0
}
gsub(/ /, \\ , $2)
sub(/\$/, \\$, $2)
print  \\\n\t \/ $2 \ \:// key / $2 \
}
END {
if (!first)
print \n
else
exit 1
}
'

This would allow to mount shares with utf-8 names, including ones that
contain space characters in their names.

Thanks for patch, working brilliant, but only in case insserv is recent-

to the package version 1.12.0-14. It is harmless to use binary deb
compiled for 10.04 in 9.10 (that's what I did with Mint 8 installation),
hadn't had a chance to test it with earlier Ubuntu releases.

Nevertheless it is always possible to compile and install package from

[Bug 379761] Re: MASTER - FF 3.5 font hinting does not honour gnome-settings

2009-12-03 Thread Alexey Loukianov
Well, the truth as always lies somewhere between.

In fact font hinting may be set on per-application basis using Xft X
resources. So any program you start up ends up with thsis Xft resources
set up, no matter are the settings for font hinting set in .font.conf,
in gconf or in .Xdefaults/.Xresources. The method of setting this up is
up to implementator. KDE's way is to use .font.conf settings as the
source for defaults. Gnome's way is to store this in gconf and commit
them to X on the system startup/settings change program initialization/
This gets done by gnome-settings-daemon.

Firefox uses GTK+ as it's rendering backend on linux. But firefox by
itself isn't a Gnome application - the only thing (well, almost) that is
used from Gnome is widget engine and file chooser dialog. It is
perfectly normal for firefox to be set up on a system without gnome-
settings-daemon installed/running, and in such cases GTK+ appearence is
contolled by .gtkrc files instead of gconfd/gnome-settings-daemon.

And here we come to a problem/bug described in this ticket: firefox-3.0
font hinting Xft X resources were controlled by gnome-settings-daemon,
while firefox-3.5 don't. My proposal is that firefox-3.5 controls this
settings by itself fetching defaults from .font.conf, and simply ignores
gconf-settings-daemon's attemps to change them. It this proposal is
right, then it shoud be fixed by upstream (mozilla.org), either by
reverting firefox behaviour to the 3.0's state, or by adding special
item to about:config which will allow to control whether shoud firefox
read .fonts.conf and use it or not.

firefox are controlled by KDE system settings, including KDE's ability
to do subpixel rendering if properly configured for it. Affected parts
of firefox include menu bars, popup menu, bookmarks toolbar and tabs

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379761

Looks like this is the duplicate of #379761. The problem is that
firefox-3.5 uses ~/.fonts.conf instead of gconfd method to get fonts
hinting settings to use. Figured it by changing fonts in KDE system
settings one by one from sans to serif typeface and seeing no changes in
FireFox. Meanwhile changing fonts hinting settings in KDE changed the
FireFox appearence. After bringing KDE's settings for hinting in sync
with gnome's firefox became more-or-less the same as it was before
installing systemsettings and kdebase-workspace-bin.

Do you use any firefox themes? If so - themes can force firefox to use

[Bug 489011] [NEW] ACPI keyboard events for backlight brightness up and down gone when using KMS on LG LGR405-G.CP22R1 notebook (Intel GMA X1300)

2009-11-26 Thread Alexey Loukianov
Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 9.10, latest updates as of 27/11/2009.

# uname -r
2.6.31-15-generic

Systems affected: bug showed up after upgrade from 8.10 to 9.10.

After normal bootup Fn+Home/Fn+End keycombos (brightness up/down) are ignored 
and nothing happens.
acpi_listen shows no events for this keypresses, xev and getkeycodes also give 
nothing.

As this keys were working good on 8.10 the first thing to try was to
boot from 8.10 livecd and try to monitor ACPI/xev/getkeycodes there.
Experiment showed that this keys were generating acpi events on 8.10,
and it is obvious that they got lost somehow in 9.10. Most probable
cause for this to happen was the KMS introduced in 9.10, so I tried to
add nomodeset kernel parameter to the grub configs. After booting up
keys started to work like a charm (there's a problem with them anyhow
that the brightness level happen to change in a huge and unpredictable
steps, and sometimes it stucks with a brightness set not to the
maximum available level no matter how much times I press Fn+Home combo;
setting brightness to maximum using the gnome power manager LCD
brightness panel applet works as it should).

The only thing affected when the KMS is active are ACPI events for
brightness change keycombos, while brightness control works fine using
the applet I had mentioned earlier.
