[Bug 916077] Re: Incorrect default GRUB installation target when /boot is on LVM

2012-05-02 Thread Alfe
I ran into that one as well when installing Ubuntu 12.04.  I tried using
a BTRFS as file system for the root mountpoint (/).  I solved my trouble
by using EXT4 again.

Seems like grub cannot handle BTRFS yet :-/

[Bug 727143] Re: unity-window-decorator crashes with SIGSEGV when closing Java windows

2011-06-08 Thread Alfe
I don't think I've got another bug; I think I just found some other
triggers for the current bug.  Why?  Because if I create a new user with
a default configuration of compiz, I've got no immediate trouble using
the decorator (everything seems to work fine in the beginning).  So far
I haven't been able to figure out what part of my configuration causes
the high probability of the decorator crashes.  Hence my question here.
Maybe somebody knows or has at least an idea what can be the trigger.

[Bug 727143] Re: unity-window-decorator crashes with SIGSEGV when closing Java windows

2011-06-07 Thread Alfe
I'm using 11.04 with classic gnome sessions, some features (wobbly
windows, shadows, a chosen style etc.) on a Dell E6510 with intel full-
HD graphic and experience the decorator crashes extremely often
(typically, I just need some seconds to reproduce).  Opening the
System drop-down menu is usually enough to start the flickering.

Since several weeks I have now switched off the decorator plugin; my
windows have neither borders nor shadows, thus.  The optics are rather
dull this way.

I am wondering: This cannot be what everybody else is experiencing; it
would never have been released this way. But what can be the special
aspect in my case?  Any ideas for another workaround (instead of
switching off the decorator) are welcome.

[Bug 784301] Re: Sort by year option doesn't work as expected

2011-05-28 Thread Alfe
I can confirm the bug.

Please do not just change the description ;-)  If you have lots of
albums from a band with several decades of history, it makes much more
sense to sort them by year as this will group the various phases of a
band (e. g. when which band members participated).  The current
situation where the album covers are always sorted by their name is not
a good solution.

Seth, I checked using your instruction.  I was testing the kernel you
provided; so this is bad news :-/

[Bug 600453] Re: [arrandale] [i915] DELL E6510: blank screen on boot (Intel GPU)

2011-04-15 Thread Alfe
Seth, I installed your kernel on Ubuntu 10.10, Dell Latitude E6510 with
Intel graphics 1920x1080.

Unfortunately, neither standalone nor with a second monitor attached did
the main screen light up after mode switch during booting.  The second
monitor worked fine.  It's attached via a docking station and a display
port cable.

There is a slight chance that I failed in choosing your kernel when
booting; installation of the debs provided by you told me that this
would mean upgrading an installed package, so I figured that now my
installed 2.6.35-28 was going to be upgraded.  This kernel (35-28) then
I chose on boot-time, though the grub menu did not display any of your
complicated version number suffixes, resulting from the detailed patch
level stuff.

I' love to run further tests because I'd like to step down from the
upstream 2.6.38 patch I'm using currently as this prevents me from using
a VMware installation (some different trouble) and doesn't seem too
stable as a whole.

[Bug 561802] Re: [i915] blank screen on Latitude E6410 (NOT E6510)

2011-02-18 Thread Alfe
After testing now for a second day, no stability issues (X crashes) to
report (which is a great relief!).

One issue found: I suspended at work with a second monitor attached,
then unplugged the second monitor, went home, tried to resume without a
second monitor, got a black screen with backlight.  Switching to other
consoles worked, but switching back to X just restored the black screen.
So I could kill and restart my X from another console, so rebooting
wasn't necessary, but of course the session was lost.

I can prevent running into this problem by either unplugging the second
monitor (and quickly reconfiguring the X for single-display) before
suspending or maybe (didn't test this) by attaching another second
monitor before resuming, so there is a workaround.

Cheers, Alfe

2011-02-18 Thread Alfe
John, I am not sure whether I also tried Fn-F8 (which has a
laptop/screen icon on it) (p=70%). I'm also not sure whether I tried it
more than once (p=10%).  Sorry for being so vague; I just tried
everything which came to mind.  Also closing and opening the lid didn't
help.

Manuel, I did not try brightness changes; nice idea :-)

I also found out that Windows-P in my configuration does something with
my displays (turning them or something like that), maybe that can help
as well.

I just tried to reproduce the problem reported in #194 but couldn't
(tried it twice just now).  The laptop screen always refreshed properly
after resuming from suspend without the second monitor.  I will try to
reproduce the problem again in the next time and if I manage, I will try
your suggestions and report back here.  But maybe the problem was due to
something else.

Cheers, Alfe

[Bug 561802] Re: [i915] blank screen on Latitude E6410 (NOT E6510)

2011-02-17 Thread Alfe
Andy, I tested the kernel located at
http://people.canonical.com/~apw/lp561802-natty/ on my Dell Latitude
E6510, 2GB, 64bit, Intel graphics. My distribution is Ubuntu 10.10.

First: Your version seems to be working fine. No issues whatsoever up to
now.  I'm booting and using it with an external second monitor attached
via the display port (resolution: 1600x1200).  I will add another report
here in some minutes regarding a boot without a second monitor.

I also tested all other kernel versions discussed here which were coming
as a .deb package ready for download (i. e. I did not test all patch
versions).  Before the kernel pointed to by you I was using a .35
kernel.  With 2.6.38-997.201102020913 and 2.6.38-997.201102081238 I had
stability issues after some minutes (without a second monitor after some
hours): X just crashed and I had to relogin.  I was under the impression
that it had trouble handling X sessions with a lot of stuff going on,
maybe memory leaks.

No such issues with the
2.6.38-4-generic_2.6.38-4.31~lp561802v201102162013 now.  I tried to
crash it by opening about a hundred windows, using fancy Compiz
extensively, running flash applications, Youtube videos, 3D applications
etc. but to no avail :)  Uptime now is 44 minutes and everything seems
to be just fine.

Also suspend/resume worked without issues.  I did not test hibernate (to
disk).

I will check booting without a second monitor now, just to make sure,
and report back here.

Andy,

I rebooted without a second monitor and redid my tests (quickly).  No
problem found.  I attached the second monitor on the fly.  Detection
worked fine, no issues to report.

What I like most is that I'm now able to suspend/resume the laptop.

Thanks a lot for your effort!
