[Bug 488103] Re: Poor support for MacBook Pro 5, 1: noise, no jack sense, no in-line headset microphones, broken volume control
Alex, thank you for a great patch! Everything worked as you said. However, I think the noise problem is still here. I'll check on my reference headphones tomorrow, and post. Moreover, setting model=mbp3 doesn't seem to fix the noise issues any more. Is that possible, or am I just confused? It would be lovely to have the headset microphone work, too. Can I help fix that in any way? If you provide some pointers, I can try to gather the relevant information under OS X, or to experiment under Linux. I'm pretty happy with C debugging and development, just don't know the ALSA stack. If the only thing that's blocking you is the lack of a headset, I'd be happy to help too. I noticed one other issue, which is probably not ALSA-triggered. There are volume sliders for Surround and LFE. I have no idea what Surround is -- it didn't do anything that I could notice. LFE is the subwoofer (low-frequency emitter) -- btw, it would be nice to have a better mixer name for it, if that's easy to fix :). The problem is this: if I use the GNOME volume control (which goes through pulseaudio), and turn the volume all the way down to 0, then hit mute, then LFE and Surround suddenly get set to 0. The only way to get them to return is to turn the volume up to a nonzero value, and then toggle mute twice (or use a full mixer). Seems pretty mysterious to me. The bad thing is that this results in people unexpectedly losing all their low frequency sounds -- I doubt many people aside from me look at alsamixer. Let me know what you think about the outstanding 3 issues. If necessary, I'll create separate bugs for them. -- Poor support for MacBook Pro 5,1: noise, no jack sense, no in-line headset microphones, broken volume control https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488103 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 488103] Re: Poor support for MacBook Pro 5, 1: noise, no jack sense, no in-line headset microphones, broken volume control
Yep, the noise issue is definitely still there. I can unload and reload the module, and on some loads it's rather less noticeable, but always crackly at least for some volume slider settings (more on that later). On about 50% of the loads, it's a persistently loud crackly hissing noise with a period of a couple of seconds (it gets quieter and louder). I do consistently get the better (not crackly) noise scenario by switching to mbp3. I don't remember any more if mbp3 used to be even better, but probably not. At any rate, the current mbp3 is tolerable but not great. Regardless of which module I load, or how lucky I get with the random factors mentioned above, the noise level fluctuates depending on the volume slider. On mbp5, with all other sliders maximized, the noise peaks for Master volume are: 8, 17, 27, 36, 45, 55, 64, 73, 83, 92. The noise volume does not substantially depend on the slider setting (i.e. music is acceptable when it's loud, but useless when it's quiet). On mbp3, there is just a faint hint of crackling at those same settings, but the crackling is much much quieter. The white noise background seems to be about the same, maybe slightly quieter on mbp3.

Chase, thanks for submitting the patch. It's a huge improvement. I do see 3 issues outstanding, and am hoping to work through them in this bug, or elsewhere. I would really appreciate your help.

They are also most easily diagnosed in good, sound-isolating headphones. Can you try putting in some good earphones in a quiet place, and slowly scrolling through the Master volume slider in alsamixer? (c) Can you reproduce the above issue with turning the volume up and down via GNOME Volume Control (or the volume keyboard shortcuts)? Thanks a lot!

I updated the description to describe a headphone noise problem with mb5. Truly, there is no acceptable choice.

[Bug 490704] [NEW] suspend keyboard shortcut does not work
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: compiz To reproduce: 1) Go to System - Preferences - Keyboard Shortcuts 2) Find the entry for suspend, and choose some shortcut. 3) Press the shortcut. What I see: The screen briefly goes blank, and then returns within a second. There is no report of any attempt to suspend in .xsession-errors or in dmesg, or dbus-monitor. I don't think the suspend command is being run correctly by the shortcut, because when I choose Suspend from the panel menu (fast user switching applet, aka indicator-applet-session), it works. A workaround: 1) Install compizconfig-settings-manager 2) Open the Commands preference panel. 3) Enter, e.g., for command line 0: dbus-send --session --dest=org.gnome.ScreenSaver --type=method_call /org/gnome/ScreenSaver org.gnome.ScreenSaver.Lock ; dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.DeviceKit.Power /org/freedesktop/DeviceKit/Power org.freedesktop.DeviceKit.Power.Suspend (you may omit the first command if you don't want the screen to lock) 4) Switch to the Key Bindings tab, and define a key binding for the corresponding command.

However, some of these issues are quite separate between different chipsets. E.g. model=laptop does different things on different chipsets, and doesn't do a thing for my chipset ALC889A. See the full quirks list here: http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt I am reporting this from a x86_64 install, but my sound was broken in exactly the same way when I was running i386. I have not found a published configuration, which makes the sound on my MacBook Pro 5,1 work completely. I have tried: 1) linux-backports-modules-alsa-generic + snd_hda_linux option model=mb5 (same as autodetected), 2) default 2.6.31-15-generic + snd_hda_linux option model=mb5. In both: * (GOOD) Both left and right speakers work (and subwoofer too, I suspect). * (BAD) No jack sense: cat /proc/asound/card*/codec* is the same regardless of whether headphones are plugged in * (BAD) Speakers always on: Volume controls always enable + maximize Front+LFE+Surround outputs (in tandem), never touch headphones (which are muted by default, and labeled HP -- which I suspect breaks PulseAudio paths that depend on the string Headphones).

In both: * (BAD) Only the right speaker works, and even that after switching alsamixer from 2 channels to 4 channels. * (BAD) No jack sense -- just as above * (OKAYISH) The system volume controls affect only the headphone volume. You are free to manually choose the speaker volume via Surround. * (SLIGHTLY BAD) If 4 channel mode is what it takes to have some semblance of speaker sound, that should be on by default. * (BAD) Headset microphones don't work. 5) model=imac24 -- useless for this machine, the mixer settings are totally broken, still no jack sense. In particular, the latest karmic backports have no effect on my problems. On the basis of the above, I'm changing the community docs to no longer make a blanket recommendation for model=mbp3. People have to make a choice between two different sets of issues. In an ideal world: 1) The driver would support jack sense. 2) The driver would add an extra input for microphones connected through the output 3.5 jack. 3) PulseAudio would automatically mute the speakers on headphones being plugged in. 4) PulseAudio would switch to the headset microphone when that's plugged in. 5) PulseAudio would provide overrides for both of those behaviors. ** Affects: alsa-driver (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Poor support for MacBook Pro 5,1: no jack sense, no in-line headset microphones, broken volume control https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488103 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 229465] [NEW] Wide text in wide VTE windows is extremely slow
Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: libvte9
This refers to the Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy version of vte (0.16.9). However, I
just built vte 0.16.13 (hardy), and the bug remains (I made sure it was
using the right library using strace). I refer to gnome-terminal in the
rest of the bug, but I get the exact same behavior in xfce4-terminal,
and in the vte test app.
Here's an experiment, done on an idle system (Pentium M 2 Ghz, 1GB RAM),
with gnome-terminal in the foreground, maximized. My font setup is
monospace 12, with subpixel antialiasing. My scrollback is 5000 lines.
$ resize
COLUMNS=191;
LINES=57;
export COLUMNS LINES;
$ date XXX; time (for ((i=0;i1000;++i)); do echo
{a,b}{b,c}{c,a}{d,a}{q,f,e}{z,c,s}; done; echo _all_)

$ date

$ cat XXX
Mon May 12 02:31:26 EDT 2008
I typed date while it was scrolling, and as soon as it finished, I hit
Enter. As you can see, time lies about the wall time a bit, because
the rendering is so horrendously slow. According to my date
measurement, the wall time is actually 1:42. My reaction time is not
that slow (see konsole experiment below).
Timings of the same experiment (I report the time value because it's
easier): 80x24 -- 1.2s, 80x59 -- 3s, 130x24 -- 1.8s, 191x24 -- 35s,
181x24 -- 2.5s, 186x24 -- 2.5s, 190x24 -- 30s.
But, if I change the string being printed (e.g. by replacing echo ...
with echo $i ...), then 189x24 suddenly becomes slow again (16s).
Maybe it depends on the pattern of spaces/newlines in the text being
displayed?
This manifests itself when I edit wide files, or cat a wide file, and
page through it. In both cases, refreshes can sometimes take as long as
5-7 seconds, even when I'm simply paging through the scrollback with
Shift-PageUp and Shift-PageDown. It seems to depend quite a bit on the
data -- again, I'm surmising something having to do with newlines or
spaces?
In fact, on the various wide data files on my disk, I feel slowness down
to terminal width 120, at which point it abruptly disappears.
I repeated the above experiments a couple of times -- the times are
fairly consistent. It did not seem to matter whether I used gnome-
terminal --geometry, or resized the window after startup.
Now, for the really weird thing. On my screen, 191x24 is almost the full
width of the screen. If I change to 6 point font, and maximize the
window to 383x112, none of these problems occur. The widest files feel
snappy, and messing with newline/space patterns doesn't change that.
Keeping the window maximized, 8pt -- still snappy, 10pt -- slight hint
of slowness, but perfectly usable, 11pt -- noticeable slowness in some
cases, but still under a second per refresh, 12pt -- catastrophically
bad.
Repeating the original 191x57 experiment in konsole (I set it up so that
it renders pixel-identical to the gnome-terminal):
real0m1.799s
user0m0.588s
sys 0m0.020s
$ date
Mon May 12 02:38:35 EDT 2008
$ cat XXX
Mon May 12 02:38:32 EDT 2008
Moreover, none of this slow refresh behavior is reproducible in konsole.
It's not as fast as gnome-terminal at its fastest, but it is very
consistent.
No other applications that display text have these sorts of issues.
So this is sort of a puzzler... I think it would be fascinating to know
the cause. And even better to have it fixed :)

monospace 12, with subpixel antialiasing. My scrollback is 5000 lines.

LINES=57;
export COLUMNS LINES;

I typed date while it was scrolling, and as soon as it finished, I hit
Enter. As you can see, time lies about the wall time a bit, because
the rendering is so horrendously slow. According to my date
measurement, the wall time is actually 1:42. My reaction time is not
that slow (see konsole experiment below).
Timings of the same experiment (I report the time value because it's
easier): 80x24 -- 1.2s, 80x59 -- 3s, 130x24 -- 1.8s, 191x24 -- 35s,
181x24 -- 2.5s, 186x24 -- 2.5s, 190x24 -- 30s.
But, if I change the string being printed (e.g. by replacing echo ...
with echo $i ...), then 189x24 suddenly becomes slow again (16s).
Maybe it depends on the pattern of spaces/newlines in the text being
displayed?
This manifests itself when I edit wide files, or cat a wide file, and
page through it. In both cases, refreshes can sometimes take as long as
5-7 seconds, even when I'm simply paging through the scrollback with
Shift-PageUp and Shift-PageDown. It seems to depend quite a bit on the
data -- again, I'm surmising something having to do with newlines or
spaces?
In fact, on the various wide data files on my disk, I feel slowness down
to terminal width 120, at which point it abruptly disappears.
I repeated the above experiments a couple of times -- the times are
fairly consistent. It did not seem to matter whether I used gnome-
terminal --geometry, or resized the window after startup.
Now, for the really weird thing. On my screen, 191x24 is almost the full
width of the screen. If I change to 6 point font, and maximize the
window to 383x112, none of these problems occur. The widest files feel
snappy, and messing with newline/space patterns doesn't change that.
Keeping the window maximized, 8pt -- still snappy, 10pt -- slight hint
of slowness, but perfectly usable, 11pt -- noticeable slowness in some
cases, but still under a second per refresh, 12pt -- catastrophically
bad.
Repeating the original 191x57 experiment in konsole (I set it up so that
it renders pixel-identical to the gnome-terminal):

Moreover, none of this slow refresh behavior is reproducible in konsole.
It's not as fast as gnome-terminal at its fastest, but it is very
consistent.
No other applications that display text have these sorts of issues.
So this is sort of a puzzler... I think it would be fascinating to know
the cause. And even better to have it fixed :)

Binary package hint: libvte9
This refers to the Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy version of vte (0.16.9). However, I
just built vte 0.16.13 (hardy), and the bug remains (I made sure it was
using the right library using strace). I refer to gnome-terminal in the
rest of the bug, but I get the exact same behavior in xfce4-terminal,
and in the vte test app.

[Bug 32561] Re: Pango-enabled firefox is much slower
I looked at firefox-3.0 also. The results are not bad, but not perfect either: 1) The original e-mail renders quickly and correctly, regardless of MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO (it's unclear if the switch has any effect at all now) 2) The sanitized e-mail that I attached renders fast. However, it produces a gigantic area of no refresh on the screen. As in, there's a part of the message that just keeps whatever was on that part of the screen before Firefox. And then, when you scroll, that part gets smeared around. -- Pango-enabled firefox is much slower https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/32561 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 32561] Re: Pango-enabled firefox is much slower
I am seeing this on 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon, Firefox 2.0.0.11, and it showed up in a very nasty way. I have an e-mail (see attachment) with lots and lots of text (data files). Opening this e-mail in its original context -- Yahoo mail with its CSS and JS and tables -- caused the browser to effectively hang. It remained non-responsive and at 100% CPU for over 5 minutes. The sanitized version does eventually render, but takes over a minute on my computer. In contrast, with pango disabled (I started with mozilla.com's stock builds, then tried the MOZ_PANGO_DISABLE=1 hack, both work fine), the original e-mail renders in about 15 seconds. The sanitized version renders in about 3. So, using Pango is over 20 times slower for me! On the other hand, the font rendering without Pango does not match the rest of the system (fonts are different/larger; some are badly hinted). So, it's ugly without Pango, and unstable (yes, unstable, because such a hang makes me kill the browser) with. :( Can I do something to help get this fixed? ** Attachment added: Sanitized e-mail with massive performance problems. http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11088176/firefox-performance.html.gz -- Pango-enabled firefox is much slower https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/32561 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
