[Bug 1582508] Re: every iso do with respin crash aall the time during installation

2016-08-25 Thread C Michal
I doubt this is exactly the right place for this discussion, but I have
some information to add.

I've been chasing down some issues with installing from respin iso's.

1) First is a permissions bug I don't understand. When the ubiquity
installer runs, it uses pkexec to get root permissions, and then it
seems to drop and regain root priviliges as it needs them. When run from
a respin iso though, this somehow gets messed up and the install fails.
A workaround is to run the live session on the iso, then in a terminal:
"sudo ubiquity"

2) From there things nearly go ok, except that you then hit:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/658865
There are a couple of things you could do to workaround this. 
a) copy the dists directory from the official ubuntu (mate in my case) install 
iso into the respin iso. (you break respin process into two separate pieces, 
eg: "respin backup cdfs" then "respin backup iso", you can fiddle with the 
filesystem in between, before the iso is generated). So after generating the 
cdfs, navigate to /home/respin/respin/ISOTMP. and copy the dists directory from 
an official install iso in here. 

Another option to deal with this is, after booting into the live
session, but before starting ubiquity, you can: sudo rm
/usr/lib/ubiquity/apt-setup/generators/40cdrom

3) A somewhat separate, but related issue. If you want to be able to use 
unetbootin to convert your respin iso into a usb flash drive that is bootable 
and installable, there are a couple more things to do:
  A) use the ubuntu startup disk creator to create a usb flash drive. From the 
flash drive copy the boot and EFI directories from it. You'll want to add these 
into your ISOTMP as well, but you need to edit boot/grub/grub.cfg. In that 
grub.cfg change (i) the file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntuXXX.seed to custom.seed (the 
ubuntuXXX.seed differs depending on the flavour) (ii) the filename of the 
initrd to /casper/initrd.gz, and (iii) the kernel name to /casper/vmlinuz

  B) cp /usr/lib/syslinux/modules/bios/menu.c32
/home/respin/respin/ISOTMP/isolinux/

With those last few steps done, you can use unetbootin to convert your
iso to a live flash drive that will boot in BIOS or UEFI (secure boot
works!), and then as long as you start the installer with "sudo
ubiquity" it works.

I believe Robert is correct. The official builds don't show the problem,
but downstream builds since 4.04 do.

Is there something different required in the build environment to allow
the eps import/export filters to be found?

[Bug 703180] Re: SD card reader doesn't work on new Dell XPS

2011-08-01 Thread C Michal
The problem with that script is that the reader doesn't appear in the
output of lspci until *after* a rescan with a card inserted. So you
could switch that around to rescan every few seconds and then quit after
the reader appears in the lspci output, but as is, I don't think that
will work.

2011-07-27 Thread C Michal
I set up a hot-key to call a tiny suid program that triggers the rescan.  Works 
great.
Put the following in rescan.c:

#include stdio.h
main(){
  FILE *outfile;
  outfile=fopen(/sys/bus/pci/rescan,w);
  if (outfile != NULL){
fprintf(outfile,1\n);
fclose(outfile);
  }
  else printf(permission denied\n);
}

then compile with:
gcc rescan.c -o rescan
sudo cp rescan /usr/local/bin
sudo chown root /usr/local/bin/rescan
sudo chmod u+s /usr/local/bin/rescan

then in system-preferences-keyboard shortcuts, create a custom
keybinding (Add).  The command should point to  /usr/local/bin/rescan,
and set whatever key combination you like - I used the gears button on
the top left of the keyboard, which produces 'super-L'

Actually, what might be a good workaround would be to set a keybinding
to the rescan - so you would insert an sd card, then hit some hot-key to
trigger the rescan and mount the card?

In my experience, doing this at boot time doesn't help. It only finds
the controller after an sd card has been inserted.

If there is an sd card present at boot time then the rescan is
unnecessary as the controller is found anyway.

[Bug 504576] Re: network-manager ignores static ip configuration setting for wireless

2010-01-08 Thread C Michal
The version of network-manager that is installed appears to be the only
one in the default repositories.  On the 'about' tab from nm-applet, it
identifies itself as 0.7.996.  See: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic
/network-manager

If I downgrade the kernel, the wireless driver is very unstable with
this adapter - connections are terminated after about 5 seconds and
after that the wireless driver crashes and is unable to restart the
hardware.   I will try to upgrade the kernel later today.

[Bug 504576] [NEW] network-manager ignores static ip configuration setting for wireless

2010-01-07 Thread C Michal
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: network-manager

Using network-manager 0.8~a~git.20091013t193206.679d548ubuntu1
I am trying to configure a static ip for my home wireless interface.  Using 
nm-applet, selecting 'Edit connections'  I can go to the wireless tab and 'Add' 
a connection.  I entered a connection name, the ssid, a wpa password, and all 
necessary ipv4 settings (ip, netmask, gaeway and dns server), and tick 'Connect 
automatically'  I then select the Auto connection for the same ssid and uncheck 
the Connect automatically setting.

But network-manager always ignores my connection, and always uses the
auto. If I delete the auto connection, it recreates it.

On a gentoo box with network-manager-0.7.1 this works as expected -
after the auto connection is set to not connect automatically the manual
configuration is used.

Public bug reported:

On a dell mini 9, as shipped with 8.04 lpia, the audio input appears to
always be mono.

Alsamixer exposes an input selection for line/mic/front mic/cd

front mic does hear input from the built in microphone, mic hears mono
input from the jack, cd hears nothing (not surprisingly), and line
doesn't seem to hear anything - it would be nice to hear stereo input
from the input jack!
