..as a sanity check, it'd probably be a good idea for the upgrader to
check and ensure it's running the latest version.

[Bug 1560797] Re: apt does not configure Pre-Depends: before depending package

2016-04-27 Thread Brian Visel
I am having this issue right now.  Before updating, I did:

sudo apt-get-update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

..and then launched Software Updater.

However, it seems that the newest version of the software updater didn't
install for whatever reason.  As the install is running, if I do:

$ apt-cache policy ubuntu-release-upgrader-core
ubuntu-release-upgrader-core:
  Installed: 1:15.10.14.4
  Candidate: 1:16.04.14
  Version table:
 1:16.04.14 500

500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main i386 Packages
 *** 1:15.10.14.4 100
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

..so obviously the software updater somehow escaped getting updated, so
I got the version with the bug still.

[Bug 1091464] Re: Unable to chainload Windows 8 with Secure Boot enabled

2015-04-20 Thread Brian Visel
This bug affects me on my Dell Inspiron 15 7537, running Ubuntu 15.04.

* Secure Boot Enabled
* Grub (at least as configured) can't boot windows
* By switching the primary boot entry in the BIOS (or by using the F-12 boot 
menu) I can boot to either Windows or Linux
* rEFInd is able to recognize and boot the windows partition

..since my BIOS provides an EFI-Enabled boot menu, this issue doesn't
affect me much, as I can skip GRUB.  ..but some folks need to go into
their BIOS to change the default boot order (or enable/disable secure
boot) in order for things to work.

[Bug 1435537] [NEW] Commit dialog no longer retains content if dismissed

2015-03-23 Thread Brian Visel
Public bug reported:

Previous (and desired) behavior:
Commit dialog retains text if dismissed

Current behavior:
Commit dialog deletes text if dismissed

The prior behavior was useful when staging a commit in parts.  At any
point during the process, the commit dialog could be brought up, added
to, then dismissed.  When all staging was complete, the dialog would be
brought up and the commit finished.  This was very handy when
cherrypicking large changesets, but can no longer be done, and I don't
know of an equally-convenient alternative workflow.

[Bug 1236749] Re: Gnome shell extensions disabled at every startup

2015-03-10 Thread Brian Visel
I'm using gnome staging (3.14), so the PPA doesn't help with me
personally, but thank you for your work!  I hope it solves the issue for
others.

In the meantime, since the issue is caused by the faulty reboot/shutdown
without closing out the session completely, I did this:

* Install Suspend Button extension, and configure it to replace the reboot 
option with suspend (keeps me from accidentally rebooting)
* When I need to reboot/shutdown, I log out instead, then reboot/shutdown from 
GDM/Login Screen

[Bug 1049630]

2013-12-09 Thread Brian Visel
 It works just fine a quite a few RS690 boards.

ah.  ..well, it also doesn't work for quite a few RS690 boards.

I guess it's academic for me, at this point, though -- I've long since
moved on, since I had to keep working and current, and the old driver
was dropped.

If you're reading this bug and have this issue, it's been open for
nearly three years, and isn't likely to be fixed, as far as I can tell.
If 3d acceleration is important to you, it's almost definitely worth it
to get some hardware that is better supported.  I went with Intel
graphics -- there's a lot less likelihood that support will be dropped
for that, since Intel's more helpful than ATI regarding open-source
drivers for their graphics hardware.

 Well, Brian, its true regarding older hardware, lets not be blind about all 
 the
 post x1*** - 6*** cards, they are actually okay.

Regardless, the RS690M was listed as supported, I bought hardware that I
thought would be supported for that specific reason, and then that
changed, and that leaves me with no experience or reason to recommend
ATI or the radeon driver at this point, and plenty of reason to
recommend against it.  ..the stuff that is new now becomes old
later.  ..why should I think that my experience with any other ATI card
should be different?  ..at least on the Intel side, there's the blessing
(and support) of the chip maker.

 Also, 3D is important is a bit exaggerated, because 3D pipeline and
 *everything* except this bug work really fine.

No disagreement there.  I've got an Intel graphics card that works
superbly, and there are others out there with nVidia and ATI cards that
run great, too.  What I was said was saying was (indented, so that the
if statements and their subjective clauses are more apparent):

* If you're reading this and have this issue
 * This issue has been open for nearly three years
 * It isn't likely to be fixed, from what I can tell
 * If 3d is important to you
  * It is almost definitely worth it to get some hardware that is better
supported.

..I stand by that statement.

  There are many factors in play
 on modern desktop for it to just work, but this only one bug really damages
 it.

*nod* and a lot of them work fine, and this one doesn't.  ..a perfectly
functional car with a broken drive shaft that no one knows how to fix is
still valuable -- it's just not valuable to someone who wants to drive a
car, unless that person knows how to fix it, or can sell that car, and
get another car which many people know how to fix, and which appears
less likely to break.

..I'm not looking at this and thinking That's bad work they've done,
I'm looking at it and saying No one has had the time, know-how,  and
the access to the hardware to fix this, so if you are waiting for it to
get done, my opinion is that you're better off buying more compatible
hardware in this particular case.

..then again, all it takes is someone who does have the time, know-how,
and hardware to fix this, and who wishes to donate their work.  ..if
someone does do that -- thank you.  ..that specifically won't benefit me
at this point, but thank you just on the general principle of it, and
for the people that it will benefit.  ..and thank you to everyone else
who has contributed to Linux, X, and all the layers in between and on
top -- it's phenomenal work that provides a genuine alternative to the
proprietary operating systems that are out there.

ATI or the radeon driver at this point, and plenty of reason to
recommend against it.  ..the stuff that is new now becomes old
later.  ..why should I think that my experience with any other ATI card
should be different?  ..at least on the Intel side, there's the blessing
(and support) of the chip maker.

 Also, 3D is important is a bit exaggerated, because 3D pipeline and
 *everything* except this bug work really fine.

No disagreement there.  I've got an Intel graphics card that works
superbly, and there are others out there with nVidia and ATI cards that
run great, too.  What I was said was saying was (indented, so that the
if statements and their subjective clauses are more apparent):

* If you're reading this and have this issue
 * This issue has been open for nearly three years
 * It isn't likely to be fixed, from what I can tell
 * If 3d is important to you
  * It is almost definitely worth it to get some hardware that is better
supported.

..I stand by that statement.

  There are many factors in play
 on modern desktop for it to just work, but this only one bug really damages
 it.

*nod* and a lot of them work fine, and this one doesn't.  ..a perfectly
functional car with a broken drive shaft that no one knows how to fix is
still valuable -- it's just not valuable to someone who wants to drive a
car, unless that person knows how to fix it, or can sell that car, and
get another car which many people know how to fix, and which appears
less likely to break.

..I'm not looking at this and thinking That's bad work they've done,
I'm looking at it and saying No one has had the time, know-how,  and
the access to the hardware to fix this, so if you are waiting for it to
get done, my opinion is that you're better off buying more compatible
hardware in this particular case.

..then again, all it takes is someone who does have the time, know-how,
and hardware to fix this, and who wishes to donate their work.  ..if
someone does do that -- thank you.  ..that specifically won't benefit me
at this point, but thank you just on the general principle of it, and
for the people that it will benefit.  ..and thank you to everyone else
who has contributed to Linux, X, and all the layers in between and on
top -- it's phenomenal work that provides a genuine alternative to the
proprietary operating systems that are out there.

No, they are not placebos.  Placebos do not work with code, the code
doesn't care whether you believe or not.

I can't vouch for the veracity of the cache clearing -- I did nothing of
the sort.  However, commenting that one line made it so that the
software center started.

..and now I can vouch for the veracity of the cache removal.  It does
indeed reproduce the crash.

If software center is crashing:
 * comment out self.exhibit_banner.set_exhibits([FeaturedExhibit()]) in 
lobbyview.py
 * start software center (it runs)
 * stop software center
 * uncomment self.exhibit_banner.set_exhibits([FeaturedExhibit()]) in 
lobbyview.py
 * start software center (it runs)
 * stop software center
 * rm ~/.cache/software-center/piston-helper/*
 * start software center (it crashes)

..I'm not sure I did the stack trace correctly.  I installed apport-
retrace then ran apport-cli and updated the crash report with debug
symbols.

..did you see that Tim (darkxst) in comment #29 said he had traced it to
a race condition where the image isn't yet available at the time the
attempt to display it is made?  ..that makes commenting out that line
perfectly logical.  If you don't attempt to display an image before it
is loaded, you don't get a crash.

[Bug 1166447] Re: evolution crashes on startup after upgrade to 13.04

2013-05-01 Thread Brian Visel
I did get evolution to the point where it wasn't crashing every time I
started it, but instead crashes every time I search if message body or
full message is selected.  ..in a very ugly turn of events, deleting all
my locally-held mail 'fixed' the problem.

Anyways, I tried these two things to get it to start without crashing 
immediately:
* remove your account from online accounts (or deselect mail)
* start in offline mode, and remove any active searches from the search bar
  evolution --offline


Also, though it is by far more drastic, you can try removing (in order of least 
to most drastic):

From your home directory:
rm -Rf .cache/evolution

***!!!This will delete mail and other evolution data!!!***
rm -Rf .local/share/evolution

[Bug 1166447] Re: evolution crashes on startup after upgrade to 13.04

2013-05-01 Thread Brian Visel
Ok.. ..so, the state of affairs is:

There are apparently two bugs I'm running into:
1) Evolution crashes on startup, consistently, if preview pane is enabled.
2) Evolution crashes when searching through messages and 'message contains' or 
'body contains' is the search option.  This also can cause crash on startup if 
search term is remembered from last session.

To work around bug #1:
..this is the less-drastic of the two, but significantly hinders workflow:
evolution --disable-preview

To work around bug #2:
..this is pretty painful, and you will probably want to make backups of the 
data.
You will lose your email history and other evolution data.
Be sure you have this bug before you try this workaround.  Again, it happens 
when you search your messages, and the search option (when you click on the 
magnifying glass) is message contains or body contains.
Even though it deletes your history locally, if you mail server still has it 
available, it will still be available through that.
..close evolution first.
# to keep a backup:
 mv ~/.local/share/evolution ~/.local/share/evolution.old
# or, to just remove the data altogether:
 rm -Rf ~/.local/share/evolution

Since this is a preview pane issue, and some emails can cause the
preview pane to crash, it's worthwhile noting that this is not specific
to the preview of a particular email or group of emails -- it happens no
matter which email is selected.

2013-04-08 Thread Brian Visel
..instead of being named deja-dup, the folder can contain a file called:
.deja-dup

..with some basic info about the backup.  This allows other software to
fine the folder without much difficulty.

in pseudocode, instead of:
if folder_exists('deja-dup'):
#do stuff

..it would be:
for folder in folder_list():
if file.exists(folder + '/.deja-dup'):
   #do stuff

..which isn't significantly more difficult.
..also, during setup, you could prompt the user for a name, and have a default 
like backup.

..plus, this has the benefit of being self-contained, and doesn't put
pressure on other projects (nautilus) to handle the naming.

[Bug 1165998] [NEW] All apps move to external monitor on lid close

2013-04-07 Thread Brian Visel
Public bug reported:

Expected behaviour:
1) closing the lid does not reorganize the applications on my workspaces
or 2) opening the lid re-places applications where they came from

Actual behaviour:
When I have an external monitor plugged in and I close the lid to my laptop, 
all applications from all workspace go to that monitor.  When I open the lid, 
they stay on the external monitor.  ..so, if I've organized my workspaces at 
all, that work is lost, and I have to re-organize the applications in my 
workspaces.

[Bug 1042379] [NEW] syndaemon: allow exclusion of shift as a modifier key

2012-08-27 Thread Brian Visel
Public bug reported:

Firstly, thanks for your work in general -- you make pointing possible,
and typing bearable.  :-D

This is a wishlist item, but I think it's fairly important, and fairly simple 
to implement:
Add an option to disclude 'shift' from the keys considered as modifiers
or:
Disclude shift from modifiers by default when using -k or -K, and add an option 
to include it
or:
Allow selection of which modifier keys should be ignored

Rationale:
* Shift is used during regular typing.
* Typically other modifiers are not, unless doing meta operations on the text
* When shift-clicking in an active text area, everything from the caret to the 
pointer is highlighted.
  * If typing quickly, this means everything from the caret to the pointer is 
deleted, and replaced with the text after the click
  * this is painfully annoying, and causes lost productivity (if not lost work, 
though most apps have a useful undo option).
* Even if shift-clicking doesn't highlight text, the caret is moved, and typing 
continues in another area.
  * in this case (at least when typing quickly):
* the misplaced text must be removed from the new caret location
* areas around the text should be inspected for misplaced characters (there 
may have been more than one click moving the caret)
* Should be easy to implement -- the basic functionality is already present

..overall, this is really frustrating to have going on, particularly if
you do things that may involve a lot of capital letters (coding, for
example).  But it is also frustrating to deal with the long pause when
modifiers *aren't* ignored.

Ignoring modifier activity *except* that of shift allows the best of
both worlds, at least for a frequent use-case.

Thanks for considering.

[Bug 556782]

2012-07-25 Thread Brian Visel
It's disappointing, but I think there are just too many bugs and not
enough coders to fix them, and they've got to prioritize. -- on top of
that, there's not a *really* good method out there of evaluating the
impact of a problem.  This is obviously a high-impact problem,
considering how common the card is, but it's slipped between the cracks.

As to your idea -- I think that radeonhd drivers are incompatible with
the newer versions of X -- which is why they were phased out anyways.
Unfortunately, the newer drivers obviously don't work right for a lot of
people.

The best bet to getting a fix is probably emailing the maintainers of
the new driver -- getting on mailing lists and discussing it.  I long
ago gave up on fighting this particular fight.

If it helps, this is definitely a sideport ram issue, and disabling 
sideport ram in the BIOS fixes the problem -- however, many BIOSes do
not allow you to do this.

[Bug 1008027] Re: Mouse lags and skips during disk usage

2012-06-11 Thread Brian Visel
In order to run apport while my system was manifesting the problem, I
enabled polling again, updated init, and rebooted, then verified the
module was enabled, using 'sudo cat
/sys/module/drm_kms_helper/parameters/poll' (which echoed 'Y').
However, the system is no longer manifesting the same problematic
behavior.

Perhaps it was some other package which has since been updated.  I'll
leave polling enabled and see if I run into the same issue again -- but
it was pretty distinctly annoying, and isn't a noticeable problem now.

Also of note:
When I run apport-collect 1008027 as requested:

$ apport-collect 1008027

[Bug 1008027] [NEW] Mouse lags and skips during disk usage

2012-06-03 Thread Brian Visel
Public bug reported:

This is basically a request to set drm_kms_helper poll=N

This currently defaults to Y, which causes the mouse to get laggy / skippy / 
jumpy and loses clicks d during disk usage.
This is really annoying, and is new (by comparison to Lucid) in 12.04.

If you are running into the problem now, and just want to test real quick if 
this fix works, you can do the temporary:
sudo sh -c 'echo N  /sys/module/drm_kms_helper/parameters/poll'

To keep this change, do:

**UPDATE FOR INSTRUCTIONS IN POST #6:
There were some mistakes in the list I posted above, but unfortunately, I 
cannot edit my post.

For instructions on fixing the problem, see:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/forum/hardware/LenovoB570


** Description changed:

+ There is a wiki article to describe and help fix this issue here:
+ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/forum/hardware/LenovoB570
+ 
  As per the forums, this is a 64-bit laptop, and the 64-bit Live CD Try
  Ubunut mode works perfectly on it, but when installed to disk the Grub
  boot loader doesn't work.
  
  I selected the option to resize the Windows partition and install Linux,
  and it did everything perfectly, but would not boot Linux afterwards.
  The system came up into the Windows 7 black start in safe mode option
  screen. If the Active Partition flag for the Windows boot partition
  (/dev/sda1) is turned off, then the system will not boot from hard drive
  at all, and falls through to the next boot option in the BIOS, which by
  default is PXE.
  
  Also as per the forums, the 32-bit Oneiric installer works fine ... I
  bought the laptop for my 74-year old father for Xmas and he is unlikely
  to care about using all 4GB of RAM, or running 64-bit VMWare setups, so
  I just did the workaround of using the 32-bit installer to reformat the
  Linux / partition (/dev/sda6) and install 32-bit Ubuntu.
  
  I have included a copy of the partition table, boot block and /boot/grub
  as laid down by the 64-bit installer.

[Bug 908109] Re: Oneiric 64-bit installer Grub no HDD boot Lenovo B570

2012-05-11 Thread Brian Visel
During the installation process, Ubuntu installs the EFI bootloader
instead of the regular PC bootloader.

This results in a system that is broken in one of the following ways, depending 
on the configuration of your system:
* Boots to windows as if Ubuntu wasn't there (even though it completed 
installation)
* Fails to boot after completed installation

Workaround:
This should successfully complete the installation process, through a series of 
manual commands.

* Boot from CD/USB live image
* Connect to the network
* Click on the ubuntu partition you previously installed to, so that it is open 
in nautilus.
* right-click on this partition in nautilus (it's in the list on the left), and 
click 'properties'
* copy the name of the mount, and replace name of mount below with that 
text.
   It will probably be something like 563451BD58A19D16
* execute a terminal, and type the following commands.  If any give you an 
error, stop, and send me a message (don't post here for further support):

cd /media/name of mount

sudo mount -o bind /proc proc
sudo mount -o bind /sys sys
sudo mount -o bind /dev dev
chroot ./

apt-get update
apt-get install -y grub-pc

exit
sudo umount proc
sudo umount sys
sudo umount dev
sudo sync
sudo shutdown -r now


..at this point, the system should reboot, and give you the choice between 
Ubuntu and Windows (or just Ubuntu, depending on your install).

2012-04-27 Thread Brian Visel
I've installed (and since deinstalled) the modified bios, but it enabled me to 
do some testing.  The system was unstable, and would freeze hard every 3-5 
minutes or so when in either sideport-only or uma-only modes.  However:
Graphics *seem* to work fine (either way, work much better) with things set 
either to Sideport only or UMA-only.  Using sideport+uma caused massive 
corruption, as 'normal'.

Interestingly, although the BIOS states that there are 64mb of sideport
ram, the system thinks I have 128mb when sideport-only is set in the
bios.

This seems to correlate with d4ddio's observation:
 I see indications several places that theres only 64M of sideport VRAM, but 
 384 == 128 + 256

Re: [Bug 556782]

2012-03-12 Thread Brian Visel
  However, setting the vramlimit to 64 seems (2 reboots later) to
  clear up the corruption.
  vramlimit of 128, 256, and 0 (0 is ignored) each result in corruption
 
 Can others affected by the problem confirm this?

changing the vramlimit improved things somewhat for me, but my system
still became unusable after about five minutes.  ..using stock Ubuntu
kernel.

Note that disabling the sideport ram in the kernel seems to be what
works best for people -- those are the only reports which I've seen that
haven't come back later and said oops, no, I was wrong, it's still
broken.  ..however, installing a hacked BIOS which allows you to
disable the sideport ram isn't exactly a fix, and since this is my only
computer currently, and my source of income, I can't exactly risk that.

Ooh, this means this is *VERY* likely a sideport ram issue, and should
narrow down the bugfixing process significantly.

Re: [Bug 556782] Re: [rs690m] Graphics corruption with ati x1200

2011-09-30 Thread Brian Visel
*nod* See the above comments on starting a new bug and pushing this
issue through to xorg.  I'm not able to right now -- I just dont' have
the time -- I've defaulted to using Lucid, with the radeon-kms.conf fix.

The issue is that there's an entirely new driver framework, and it
doesn't work for these cards (all the people here and more -- it's a
common card in low-end laptops).  This means that wayland doesn't work
for us, either.  I'm hoping I or someone else will have the time to push
this all the way up to xorg, and get resolution there before the next
LTS release.

There's a message above on the necessary process in the fairly-recent
history.

Re: [Bug 556782] Re: [rs690m] Graphics corruption with ati x1200

2011-09-18 Thread Brian Visel
I don't know if this works for you, but:

Ubuntu has two types of release -- one of them is LTS, or Long-term
support.  I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx, because I can have nifty
desktop effects and accelerated graphics, which I find both pretty and
extremely useful.  To do so, you would need to:

1) Install Lucid Lynx
2) Once you're at the login screen, log into a 'failsafe gnome' session
   (down at the bottom of the login screen, after you click your
   username, there's a 'session' option.  Change it to 'failsafe gnome' 
3) run the following command:
gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms-workaround.conf
4) type the following line:
options radeon modeset=0
5) Save, and reboot.

What it does:
forces usage of an older driver
What it provides an x1200 user:
Accelerated desktop with compiz
What it provides an x300 user:
no idea, but it should be better than the default.

I simply haven't had the time to push this issue through to xorg and get
it changed in the new driver -- I've just been too busy.  But there was
a nice writeup earlier about what needs to be done, if anyone can take
up that challenge.

2011-06-01 Thread Brian Visel
It seems to decrease the corruption initally, but doesn't fix the issue.
My system was workable for about five minutes or so before corruption
became a major issue (but I think it depends more on patterns of usage,
though -- if I open more apps, corruption shows up more quickly).  Also,
running just glxgears, it takes a while (and some dragging of glxgears
around the screen) to start in with the corruption.

2011-05-08 Thread Brian Visel
@Pablo:  Yes, the workaround doesn't work for natty.  Or, more correctly, it 
kindof works.  It provides working 2d graphics (or for some, it seems, working, 
slow software rendering of 3d graphics).  If 3d is not working, Unity (the new 
desktop environment) will not work.  You can try installing the unity-2d 
package, which should run fine.  You should not (or should only rarely) get 
corruption with that.  You could also change your session (done at the login 
screen) to 'Ubuntu Classic'.  For a graphical example of both of those, see:
http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/04/install-unity-2d-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal/

@Axel ohmygoodness you may have just given me an idea for a workaround
for Natty users.

@Andre: I get weird behaviour on Natty, too, but it all goes back to the
same things.  I have the same log errors as you for this.  As to the
freedesktop.org bugs:  There were actually multiple issues affecting
graphics for the ATI rs690/x1200.  One issue (handling of sideport ram,
I believe) has been fixed.  That was not the main issue for me, though
it made some other peoples' problems go away.

@Tim I *might* have a workaround for you in about an hour..

@Anyone working on fixing the code for the bug:
The info here may be outdated, since Ubuntu has gone through an version change 
since the logs, etc were posted.  Should logs etc. be re-posted?  I know this 
is being worked on on the freedesktop.org site, but I don't know if there's 
cross-communication to where sharing logs here would be a good idea.

2011-05-08 Thread Brian Visel
Well, no, the idea I had was totally not viable as a workaround.  I was
thinking of installing or creating a package of the older radeonhd
drivers (which do work) for Natty, but but they have an older ABI and
haven't been updated because they're being phased out.  Looks like the
version of X that is in Natty really is the nail in the driver we all
know and love called radeonhd, which has gotten us through a year of
difficulty with as-yet-incomplete radeon driver.  :'-(

I'll later post a summary of the current state of knowledge regarding
this bug.

Disabling KMS disables 3d support altogether.  It's not a workaround in
the sense of This provides equivalent functionality, it's a workaround
in the sense of this provides a functional system.  Disabling KMS
actually ends up disabling the gallium driver altogether, and allows
software rendering to take over.  This could also be done with whatever
option there is to disable the gallium driver, but I don't know that
option, and can't find it right now, and don't have the time to search
it out.

..although I do mean 'functional system' in the sense that it's
functional, but limited. The default interface (Unity) won't work with
software rendering, and therefore the Ubuntu Classic interface must be
used.  But this is by far not ideal, and a fix is definitely required.

De-duped bug #755791, as I duped it to this bug too hastily.  I would
hate it if *this* bug got duped to another inaccurately, and apologize
for any inconvenience.

Though these two bugs (this one and #755791)  have similar workarounds
(the workarounds Andre posted above are indeed useful), and though they
are with the same card, and have at points shared some symptoms, there
is not enough shared to say they are the same bug, and there's enough
different that it's likely they are not, particularly after re-checking
logs between the two.  Again, apologies for any inconvenience.

[Bug 590393] Re: Full screen or other scaled video playback doesn't work properly on ATI Radeon X1200 (RS690)

2011-05-07 Thread Brian Visel
If you are having the same (or more) problems with lucid, this is
probably a dupe of bug #556782 -- The graphics striping around moving
windows, etc are graphics memory corruptions or bad addresses in memory.
The problem only exists with the new drivers for this card
(rs690/x1200).  Ubuntu has moved everyone to the new drivers.
Technically, you might be able to install and/or compile the old ones,
but this bug should really be fixed.  If you agree this bug is a
duplicate, please mark it so (top right of the page).

2011-04-09 Thread Brian Visel
I agree, and it skews the bug report statistics.  :-(  But, all we can do is 
re-post it on freedesktop.org, and hope it gets attention (which has been done 
-- at least the posting part, and it had attention for a bit, and then activity 
ceased).  It's a shame, because I thought when I started seeing activity on the 
first bug-post on freedesktop.org, it would finally be resolved after a year 
and a half of having the difficulty and waiting -- but then it got confused 
with another bug, and marked 'fixed' when it wasn't.   Sometimes I'm tempted to 
just shout Help, help!, but I know it's just more noise.  ..if *anyone* knows 
who to mail that:
1) can move this bug along, and
2) whom it wouldn't be rude to email about this, and
3) preferably actually *wants* to see this fixed, 
please let me know!

I don't know if the full gravity of the bug is realized.  In it's current form, 
in Natty, it means:
* No hardware accelleration
* Thus no compositing
* No Unity
* This is a regression.  The older driver (without KMS) worked.  The new one 
(with KMS) does not.

I'm thinking of just downgrading to Lucid.  ..but there are a lot of
packages in Lucid that are outdated for my needs, so that's a lot of
manual installation.  :-/  I've also been keeping Natty on my system so
I can help debug,  but it seems no-one's debugging it.  If someone is,
do you mind just posting a quick update?

2011-03-10 Thread Brian Visel
** Description changed:

+ [Edit:] 
+ This bug has been around for almost a year now, and has gotten rather long, 
so this is a brief summary.
+ There is a memory corruption issue that affects users of the rs690m, to 
varying degrees.
+ For many, if not most, it makes the desktop unusable.
+ 
+ There is a workaround:
+ [code]
+ sudo su
+ echo options radeon modeset=0  /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf
+ exit
+ [/code]
+ Note that this doesn't totally fix the issue.
+ Also, on Natty, it causes the system to fall back to software rendering, thus 
preventing compositing.
+ 
+ Freedesktop.org has marked the bug as 'Fixed', although at present Launchpad 
doesn't reflect this, and the code still needs to be compiled by someone and 
tested.  A new bugreport will need to be opened on freedesktop.org if it 
doesn't work.
+ [/edit]
+ 
  Binary package hint: xorg
  
  I can't see things right now to report the bug, but I wanted to run

2011-03-10 Thread Brian Visel
Oh.  Something else I noticed, although I don't know if it's important:

When an application (let's say the terminal), is updating regularly, it
will affect areas outside of itself on the screen, which we've all
discussed -- bleedover from one element on the screen to another.

But even when that program is hidden by the screensaver, if the
application has been affecting other areas of the screen, it will
continue to do so even when not visible on the screen.  I was in the
process of something long on the command line, and the screensaver came
on, blanking the screen.  ..and the gnome-terminal visuals kept
overwriting  the blackness of the screen.

[Bug 729386] Re: [Natty] DRI2 fails with x1200, compositing broken

2011-03-09 Thread Brian Visel
I do.  I disabled it when Maverick came out, because they changed the
graphics driver for my card (Radeon, x1200, rs690m) from the.. (I think
r300g?) driver to the Radeon driver, and that caused corruptions
(which have never been fixed) that get WAY worse with KMS enabled.  I
can send you a couple screenshots if you'd like.  With KMS, my system is
unusable.  There are others with this problem, but the bug's never been
resolved.

This is  a problem specific to the Radeon driver, possibly specific to
the x1200/rs690m, and is aggravated by KMS.

Well, the bug may have been resolved -- freedesktop.org closed the bug
about a week ago as fixed, and said if anyone has graphics corruption
issues to try the latest git.  ..which I don't know how to do, exactly,
so I can't verify one way or the other.

[Bug 729386] Re: [Natty] DRI2 fails with x1200, compositing broken

2011-03-09 Thread Brian Visel
Just to clarify --
In Maverick, Xorg was working (well enough), with compositing, with KMS off 
(and only with KMS off).
Now, compositing doesn't work with KMS off.

If I turn KMS on, compositing does work, but the amount of cross-program
graphics corruption makes the system unusable, both with Maverick and
with Natty. However, there is corruption either way, whether or not KMS
is running, and regardless of whether or not compositing is working.
There is simply a workable amount of corruption when KMS is disabled.

I guess the point of this particular bug is:  KMS now seems to be
required for compositing to work.  Is that a bug, or intentional?  If it
is intentional, then this bug can be closed as invalid.  The corruption
issue is open elsewhere.

[Bug 556782] Re: [rs690m] Graphics corruption with ati x1200

2011-03-09 Thread Brian Visel
I still have this problem in Natty.  Badly.

The radeon modeset=0 (disabling KMS) workaround still works, sortof.
It reduces the frequency/amount of corruption.  However, the underlying
problem is still there.  ..and with Natty as it is, disabling KMS also
disables compositing, unlike with Maverick.

At this point, the default install of Ubuntu is effectively useless for
many on Radeon rs690m (a fairly common card), and has limited
functionality if you apply the workaround.

Even though it's not currently reflected on Launchpad (tracking of the
fd.o bugzilla seems to be borked currently), freedesktop.org has closed
that bug as 'fixed'.  However, this didn't seem certain (you can look at
the bug yourself to see what I mean).  I don't know if it is actually
fixed, and I can't test it as I don't know the process of getting code
from freedesktop.org into a compiled binary.

Jerome Glisse, who closed the bug on freedesktop.org said that we
shouldn't open another bug report with them on this issue until I (or
someone else with the problem) can get that done.

Any ideas for resources/howtos on that (fd.o git - ubuntu binaries)?

[Bug 691493] Re: [Natty]Unity won't start

2011-03-07 Thread Brian Visel
Ok, I've found out a bit.

Yes, for some reason my system is falling back to software rendering.
Also, the problem of the shell not working only happens when using a
secondary login (and by typing 'unity' in a terminal, it does bail
appropriately and load Gnome panel and such). It looks like this is two
separate bugs on my end (graphics reverting to software rendering, and
shell not loading with secondary login), neither of which are *this*
bug.

Obviously the driver reverting to software rendering isn't your problem,
but I have a couple questions, in order that I might file the respective
bugs correctly.

1) Is Unity supposed to work with software rendering?

2) Is the secondary login not working properly likely to be a Unity
issue, or would this fall in someone else's domain?  If so, where should
I post the bug?

Thanks,
Brian

compiz (opengl) - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
compiz (opengl) - Fatal: Software rendering detected
[...]

GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is indeed missing from GLX extensions, but
is present in both the client glx extensions and the server glx
extensions.

Also of note is that Radeon claims that direct rendering is enabled in
Xorg.0.log, but AIGLX fails to initialize.
