[Bug 1714570] Re: enabledcores=1, but all 4 cores are online

2021-07-07 Thread David Williams
I've checked, and same issue on Ubuntu 18.04.5 (i.e cores=4
enabledcores=1)

BUT, good news, at least there 
lshw -version 
reports a version: B.02.18
and, yes, it is a 'B'?!

Packager reports lshw as version 02.18-0.1ubuntu6.18.04.2

2021-07-07 Thread David Williams
I've noticed the same thing on Ubuntu 20.04. 
That is, 4 cores but reports only one enabled -- even when they are all 
"working hard". 

Also, 
sudo lshw -version
just reports a "blank line", no version number. 

The installer says that I have lshw version 
02.18.85-0.3ubuntu2.20.04.1

HTH

[Bug 1893484] Re: Google Chrome 85.0.4183.83 crahses with SIGSEGV

2020-09-11 Thread David Williams
After reading
https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/67845533?hl=en
I tried, on a whim, 
 chromium-browser --disable-gpu
and all works fine. 

I do not know what that means, but thought I'd post it here for 'data'. 
Perhaps it will help someone understand where to look for debugging, or, even, 
where the bug belongs. 

Thanks,

2020-09-10 Thread David Williams
> I would appreciate if you could comment on this bug when 
> you get the update to let me know whether chromium-browser still works.

For me, chromium-browser stopped working when updated to version 85.0.4183.83 
(on Ubuntu 18.04.5). 
It "comes up" but no graphics (or text) are displayed. Just a large empty 
window (still with a title) is displayed. A right-mouse click will bring up an 
empty window that looks to be a context menu but it is completely blank. 

I have tried "purging" chromium-browser and re-installing, but no
change.

It happened a few days ago, approximately Sept. 8, and I just now
started searching for issues, and found this bug open that might be
related.

[Bug 1855736] Re: Duplicity fails to start

2020-01-10 Thread David Williams
I had/have similar issue as "resolved" in comment #25:

Initially, after building and installing version 0.8.09, I would try 
duplicity --version
and get 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/duplicity", line 55, in 
from duplicity.dup_main import main
ImportError: No module named 'duplicity'

I came upon this bug, saw comment #25 where it was suggested to change 
the shebang to 'python3'. I checked, and mine was ALREADY saying 'python3', but 
I changed it to 'python2' and then 
duplicity --version responds correctly with 
duplicity 0.8.09


If it helps, one of the first messages from running 
$ sudo python setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local
is 
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/setuptools/dist.py:333: UserWarning: 
Normalizing '0.8.09' to '0.8.9'
  normalized_version,
 
So it appears to be using python2 (2.7, to be exact) "during the build"?

Let me know if you'd like another bug open, or if there already is one to 
improve build scripts?
OR, better yet, maybe your "fix" was a fix for 0.8.10 and it has already been 
taken care of? 

Thanks,

Sorry, this may have been user error ... it asked me if I wanted to
monitor eth0, and I said yes (knowing I had only one network
attached) ... but, now I see its name is eth1 ... so, perhaps I just
assumed it detected eth0 and it was assuming I'd change it to correct

2012-05-24 Thread David Williams
BTW, I was able to work around this. I booted by 64 bit version (which
is in a separate partition) then mounted the 32 bit partition as plain
data mount (not to run anything). It had an empty boot folder
(presumably since I have my own boot partition, where the real files
reside) and a few symbolic links that pointed to non-existed files in
the empty boot folder. So, I removed those (and, the empty boot folder).
unmounted it. reboot back onto the 32 bit partition, and could then
complete the update just fine.

Thanks.

2012-03-11 Thread David Williams
In comment 5, Gabe asks about workarounds, in my just duplicated bug
899333 a workaround for my simple use-case was to directly use

Exec=gnome-terminal -x testmenu.sh

instead of the desired

Terminal=true
Exec=testmenu.sh

I'm sure that wouldn't work for everyone (have only skim read the other
use-cases in this bug) and is not a great long term solution ... but,

[Bug 734381] Re: Eclipse splash screen shows a resize grip under unity

2012-03-11 Thread David Williams
I just wanted to say a personal thanks for this fix (and, the reporting,
and investigating, and the releasing, and the building ...).

I have confirmed on Ubuntu 12.04 Beta 1 that the Eclipse splash screen
displays without the resize grip, and it looks much better  it is
great to see attention paid to such detail (paper-cut indeed!)

Thanks again,

[Bug 272171] Re: Firefox should not steal focus when told by another application to open a link

2012-01-30 Thread David Williams
I just wanted to say I found the comments in this (old) bug so very
helpful. I am one on the opposite camp, though ... I do want Firefox
to open and display the links I click on in other apps. And, I know it
did used to work that way ... not sure when it changed. Fortunately, I
use compiz and (after reading the comments in this bug) found Focus
Prevention Level was set to low. I changed it to off and once
again, pages displayed when I click on their link! So, while not a fix
for original complaint, I really appreciate the comments.

[Bug 899333] [NEW] Terminal=true does not work in Shortcut Group

2011-12-02 Thread David Williams
Public bug reported:

I've tried to make a launcher for Unity, whose purpose is to have
several options to execute some particular .sh file. Some those .sh
files need a terminal and some do not. But, I have found that for a
Shortcut group Terminal=true seems to have no effect.

Here's a simplified case to reproduce. For demonstrtaion you could likely use 
an echo hello world type sh file, but after having trouble with my real world 
case, I used the sh script in 
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1706383.html
My own .sh files are long and complicated and have other prereqs. 

So, I put the script in my ~/bin directory, named textmenu.sh and
created a desktop file named textmenu.desktop which I later drag and
drop on the launcher. The contents of the .desktop file (for
demonstration) is

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Utility Menu
Exec=textmenu.sh
Icon=/usr/share/icons/Humanity/apps/48/administration.svg
Terminal=true
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
X-Ayatana-Desktop-Shortcuts=one;

[one Shortcut Group]
Name=one
Exec=textmenu.sh
Icon=/usr/share/icons/Humanity/apps/48/administration.svg
Terminal=true
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true


Once in launcher, the first item Utility Menu does open a terminal (and shows 
results of .sh file). The second item, the Shortcut Group named one, does 
_not_ open a terminal. From my real world example, those shortcuts would 
still execute and the applications still be visible (its a full Eclipse app) 
but, no terminal to view debug output, etc.

One work around is to use something like Exec=gnome-terminal -x
testmenu.sh ... but, in my real world example, there's other
complications whether to show the terminal or not so to always force a
gnome-terminal in the short cut seems like the wrong place to put the
logic.

I have not tried this on earlier versions of launcher. Current system
info:

$ lsb_release -rd
Description:Ubuntu 11.10

[Bug 783155] Re: Natty: Loader chooses 64-bit instead of 32-bit library

2011-10-01 Thread David Williams
Comment #21 is really good news. I hope these means this fix will
trickle own to future releases (or maintenance?) of Ubuntu.

I tried installing just those two packages on my Natty based system, and
it indeed fixed the problems I was seeing. To be exact,  I only
routinely run one 32 bit app on my 64 bit machine, agnclient, and with
these new ia32 libs I can now see the client dialog. Previously its
contents were barely visible with wrong (or, no) graphics showing up as
intended. Its still not perfect, but hopefully rest will be improved
as changes flow downstream.  There are now (on my patched together
system) messages about

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module canberra-gtk-module: 
/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
(eclipse:7230): Gtk-WARNING **: 
/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libclearlooks.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS6

Not sure of what effect those warnings/messages are having, but it is
refreshing just to be able to easily see that little dialog again, to
confirm I am connected to the internet ... without squinting and
getting my screen angled just right :)

So, helpful as well as hopeful news :)  Thanks.

[To be clear, I am not suggesting anyone install those new libs on
production or stability-required Natty machines (could have side effects
or break something else, as far as I know) ... I am just saying I
appreciate the information ... and hoping there will be some indication
if/when these fixed packages might show up in future versions of Ubuntu.
Thanks again.]

Brian,
Thanks for the follow up.  I think you can close this bug as not
reproducible.  It was a one time thing for me and I've just run
'sudo service apport start force_start=1' and updated the system
without any problems.  I'd rather not re-install from disk in order
to try the update again (which likely would bump me straight to
current releases rather than whatever was current when this problem
occurred).
If this is something other have reported and it would really be
helpful for me to give that re-install a try, I could be talked into
it but couldn't try it for a while.
Again, thank you for the response and the explanation.
-David

 Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
 Ubuntu better.  Reviewing your log files attached to this bug report it
 seems that a package failed to install due to a segmentation fault in
 application being used by the package installation process.
 Unfortunately, this bug report isn't very useful in its current state
 and a crash report would be much more useful.  Could you try recreating
 this issue by enabling apport to catch the crash report 'sudo service
 apport start force_start=1' and then trying to install the same package
 again?  This process will create a new bug report so I am marking this
 one as Invalid.  Thanks again for helping out!

[Bug 691130] Re: PDF workflow flawed, crashes printers

2011-01-13 Thread David Williams
George asked me to look at this spoolfile. Beyond the custom page size,
here is a little more information:

1. This print job was prepared with a PPD file for a Panasonic printer
and so contains PS code specific to that device - it will cause an error
on other devices (such as a Ricoh or maybe even another Panasonic).
Posters in this thread mentioned the DP-C265, searching for some of the
ProcSet names online returned DP-C405, they seem to be in the same
product line. It would be nice to know for sure that the printer and PPD
were properly matched, in order to eliminate that possibility.

2. This print job appears to have different settings for the same parameter; 
now, that's ok in theory, because the last setting simply replaces the previous 
setting, but it does indicate a potentially confused workflow.
line 461..Duplex set to false
line 3239Duplex set to true
line 598..PageSize set to 595 x 842 (that's A4)
line 3239PageSize set to 210 x 332 (custom page size, a little 
bigger than A7)
line 3245PageSize set to 210 x 332 (again! Indicates possible 
multiple upstream sources for page settings)

3. There is a ProcSet for XPDF at the beginning of the file - I guess
this open-source code was used to convert PDF - PS - the procedure
pdfSetup defined there is called on line 3239 and sets Duplex,
ImagingBBox and PageSize after all other setup commands have executed,
including separate commands for all three of those parameters. These
parameters can have a significant effect on printer memory when changed,
because a big chunk must be allocated for the frame buffer (raster
memory) and the size depends on the page size and duplex setting (and
resolution, and margins,...). In the case of this print file, the
printer is forced to re-allocate memory several times before it even
starts to draw anything. Some posts in this thread mentioned strange
behavior, ghostly crashes and long print times, this all sounds a bit
like a case of trashed memory, doesn't it? It was also mentioned that
the duplex setting makes a difference in this case - and duplex is being
set by this pdfSetup procedure - so it's all very suspicious.

4. When I remove all the Panasonic-specific feature settings and that
dang pdfSetup call, this file prints very quickly (less than 30 sec.) on
a Ricoh MP C2800, a relatively old and slow printer. So all of the
trouble is in the setup process, which is basically an interaction
between the driver and the PPD file.

5. Finally, about that PageSize setting of 210 x 332. When Acrobat is
asked to print a custom page size like that, it makes that size a
clipping path rectangle on a standard paper size the printer supports,
such as A4 or Letter. This job is actually asking the hardware to set up
a physical page size like that - something the paper path in the printer
doesn't support, who knows what happens.

-David
