[Bug 1917278] [NEW] Unable to reinstall grub. Started with Windows 7. Installed Ubuntu 20.04 to dual boot. Upgraded to Windows 10. Got new monitor, did not recognize Ubuntu install. Reinstalled Ubunt

2021-02-28 Thread Andrew Stevens
Public bug reported:

>From what I can see, the original boot loader was not UEFI, it was
legacy(not sure what that means).  There are 3 primary partitions for
windows and all Ubuntu was installed on an extended partition.  I think
the boot loader is the first primary partition that is 100 mb, but it is
ntfs, not fat32 like efi partitions should be.  Boot-repair doesn't work
either.

[Bug 585263] Re: MythTV playback issue - number of reference frames exceeds max

2010-06-21 Thread Andrew Stevens
Looks like difficulties in VDPAU playback were indeed due to some junk left 
over from upgrades and local installs.
A solid purge and re-install and VDPAU playback is working just fine (actually: 
much better than with 0.22-fixes under 9.10)

However: CPU playback profiles which worked perfectly  under 9.10 and
0.22-fixes still reproducibly and regularly stutter in 720p playback .
The10.04 builds seem to be running less efficiently / not making as
effective use of both CPU cores.  A build difference in the binaries?

Platform:   10.04 32-bit
Hardware: Athlon  64 X2 6000+

2010-06-20 Thread Andrew Stevens
Further investigations revealed that the same stream parsing error and hence 
frame-discards/ stutters also 
with non-VDPAU playback profiles.  I'm beginning to wonder if the upgrade 
wasn't quite clean on my machine.

The issue is so obvious visually I can't believe there aren't hordes of
outraged german HD World-cup watchers complaining.

I'll investigage further when I can boot back into 10.04 (its a
'production' system ;-) ).

2010-06-19 Thread Andrew Stevens
Just upgraded from karmic to lucid  and hit exactly this problem.  VERY
noticeable on the heavily inter-cut World-cup coverage on ZDF and ARD
here in Germany.

Seems supiciously like a reincarnation of

http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/7522

this was fixed 0.22-fixes.  Could it be the ffmpeg upstream fix isn't
present in the ubuntu 0.23 builds?

which differentiated the 'apw10' test kernel from 'apw5 works correctly.

Needless to say I'm holding on to that patch like grim death ;-)

[Bug 363682] Re: cx24116 firmware doesn't load - firmware corrupt

2009-12-11 Thread Andrew Stevens
Just updated my myth server (ubuntu 9.10) kernel.   Boom... package
still has  old broken firmware in it which of course merrily over-wrote
the working version copied into place after the last kernel update. (see
comment #8 for the standard recipe).


This urgently needs to be fixed in the ubuntu kernel packages. Are the Kernel 
packagers even aware of the issue?
The firmware file you're distro-ing is  not 'a bit flaky' or 'imperfect'.  Its 
is 100% non-functional dead broken.  If you have several cards the firmware 
reload loop  approximates a denial-of-service attack.

Please package a a working firmware!

Resultsfor my Vodafone Germany branded Huawei E270.

2.6.31-15.50  - no joy GSM modem converter disconnects leaving E270 in a
confused state.Strangely unplugging and replugging works.

'apw5' - as for 15.50

'apw10' -  Hurray this one works perfectly.

[Bug 342166] [NEW] adjtimex broken on AMD64 / nForce chipset

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: adjtimex

The version of adjtimex in hardy universe appears to have a Bug making
it produce wildly inaccurate drift estimates on some mainboards.

For example:

The effect is, of course, that the a huge (erroneous) correction for the 
systemc clock is recorded causing
massive system clock drift massively after adjtimex installation.

Later revisions of adjtimex appear to include new options to fix this
issue.

[Bug 253203] Re: isdn interface setup fails after gutsy to hardy upgrade

2008-10-09 Thread Andrew Stevens
I managed to track down a small patch from the kernel mailing lists for 
isdn_net.c that fixed the
issue for 2.6.24.   I believe this propagated into the main kernel a while back.

[Bug 253203] [NEW] isdn interface setup fails after gutsy to hardy upgrade

2008-07-30 Thread Andrew Stevens
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: isdnutils

When starting isdn after a hardy upgrade the ifconfig in /etc/isdn/device.ippp0 
(generated
using isdnconfig) setting the dummy IP addresses fails with SIOCSIFFLAGS: 
Invalid argument

Driver module is 'hisax'  with option 'type=35' to select driver support
for the installed card.

There are no obvious warnings or errors from the ISDN card kernel driver.  
Module load
completes normally with

[   29.770290] HiSax: DSS1 Rev. 2.32.2.3
[   29.770292] HiSax: 2 channels added
[   29.770295] HiSax: MAX_WAITING_CALLS added

The issue appears kernel related - if the system is booted with 2.6.22-15 (left 
over from the gutsy install)
isdn starts up and works normally.
