[Bug 304887] Re: Cannot transcode to mp2v/mp4v

2008-12-10 Thread Brett A. Taylor
I agree. The vlc package provided is quite useless for me. I use vlc
with the telnet interface with mvpmc to transcode divx on the fly to
mpeg to stream to my Hauppage MediaMVP set-top box. I get a similar
error.

[Bug 193538] Re: firefox3 is ugly on kde

2008-05-04 Thread Brett A. Taylor
+5

I agree. This is very annoying for Firefox users on KDE. I just spent an
hour searching for a Firefox b5 theme that would make Firefox less ugly.
Note I'm not using KDE4 (I'm 3.5.9 -- I just upgraded to hardy).

I've attached a screenshot that shows why it's so ugly. The bottom of
the tab bar is a little screwy and the spacing isn't correct. There are
also quirks and artifacts in Firefox Preferences. It just makes Firefox
feel sort of unpolished and gross.

I switched to Phoenity Modern which made it better. I can provide a
screenshot for that as well if requested. The tab bar looks much better
that way.

[Bug 148232] Re: Gutsy Beta: Ethernet interface (Intel PRO/1000) present but unusable after update

2008-05-04 Thread Brett A. Taylor
I thought I would follow up (better late than never...)

Turns out my D-Link switch was on the fritz and auto negotiation
randomly started failing. There's no other explanation for it. I bought
a new switch and all my problems went away. My comments above can be
ignored.

[Bug 148232] Re: Gutsy Beta: Ethernet interface (Intel PRO/1000) present but unusable after update

2007-12-05 Thread Brett A. Taylor
Is this still an issue for you?

I am experiencing very similar symptoms (likely the same cause) with my
Intel card. Same messages in /var/log/messages. The link just goes
up/down constantly.

I can trace it going up and down with repeated calls to ethtool eth0 and
watching the Link detected line cycle from yes to no with varying
intervals. If I force 10 Mbps and turn auto-negotiation off (ethtool -s
eth0 speed 10 duplex full autoneg off), the link becomes stable. But 10
Mbps on a 100 Mbps switch is not good enough.

The strange thing is it was working fine for me for a while before
suddenly running into this problem. Since then, I haven't been able to
get a stable network connection.

I booted the Dapper live CD and the same problem exists. I don't think
this is unique to Gutsy.

Anyone know anything about this?

Bump. This is affecting me too. I also thought it was bug 51991.

I can provide additional tracing, etc. as needed.

[Bug 51991] Re: Xorg process freezes, uses 100% of CPU. Can be killed by remote terminal.

2007-07-05 Thread Brett A. Taylor
This is crazy. After unloading SuperKaramba, my problem has also gone
away. I guess bug 109507 is the key. At least I have a work-around for
the time being with that bug...

Thanks for updating this bug with the details. I bet there are a lot of
people suffering from this not realising the relationship between the
problem and SuperKaramba.

[Bug 51991] Re: Xorg process freezes, uses 100% of CPU. Can be killed by remote terminal.

2007-05-06 Thread Brett A. Taylor
I ditched Beryl because it's a little too unstable for my liking at this
time, especially with dual displays. Back to getting frequent hangs in
X. I ran gdb and did a couple back traces:

(gdb) bt
#0  0x0809c8d4 in DeletePassiveGrabFromList ()
#1  0x08092cc5 in ProcUngrabButton ()

#6  0x0858c858 in ?? ()
#7  0xbfa96808 in ?? ()
#8  0x081c7fa8 in ?? ()
#9  0x in ?? ()

I did this many times, and each trace showed roughly one of the two
above stacks.

This never happens when the system is in use. Occasionally, when I sit
down at the system, the cpu is fluctuating in usage for no reason (I
have a cpu monitor on my desktop so I notice this right away). For
example, it will be constant 25%, 0%, 25%, 0%, etc. Once I start using
the system, this behaviour usually goes away and X calms down and
returns to normal with no noticeable usage. No freeze here.

The unrecoverable hanging usually occurs after I lock the system. In
KDE, I have the habit of locking it whenever I leave the system for an
extended period of time (don't ask me why). At this point, I have to
switch to a terminal and kill X. I want to make it clear that this is
not always the case -- sometimes the lockup occurs without the session
locked when I've left the computer alone for a while (usually many
hours).

The dmesg showed no signs of NVRM: Xid messages as suggested above when
X is going crazy.

When it is frozen and X is eating the cpu, I can see all the windows I
had running fine, but interestingly, none of them have any window
decorations -- they're all gone. The mouse moves fine but I can't click
on anything or use the keyboard, except to switch terminals.

Anything else I can try? I'm thinking about starting to look at ATI
cards as this is awfully annoying.

I'm still having this problem with Feisty as well. I note that when I
use Beryl with Xorg (using nvidia native rather than Xgl), Xorg runs
stable without lockups previously seen.

Same problem here.

NVIDIA GeForce 6200TC (PCI-e)
2.6.17-11-generic kernel on Edgy with all updates
nvidia binary drivers from Ubuntu repository

If I don't bang on the keyboard too much, I am usually able to alt-
ctrl-f1 and kill Xorg that way, which is consuming 100% cpu time. I
didn't have this problem until I upgraded my packages sometime in
January. I suspect the previous version of xserver-xorg didn't have this
issue. (Either that or am/was I extremely un/lucky.)

Frequency varies from once a week to three times in one day (today).

I am willing to help debugging or providing any information necessary to
help with this problem.

I can also confirm this problem. Temporarily removing /etc/init.d/mdadm-
raid seems to have worked fine for me as well.

I suggest this get marked with a higher priority.
