[Bug 545065] Re: pulseaudio ratelimit.c messages and jittery sound

2010-06-30 Thread Demosthenes
I have no idea what happened, I remember following some site advising me
to uninstall a bunch of PulseAudio packages and install something else
and everything seems fixed now - I even have my log file back.  I did
change some applications to use ALSA though (like VLC I think).  Anyway
if anyone needs my configuration and installed packages I'm happy to
help if someone can tell me how.

I'm getting stuttering in my audio too - using Audigy2 card.  Never
happened before in any other Ubuntu or Windows OS.  VLC is unplayable,
other applications stutter noticeably enough to be annoying.  Any logs
or other details I can post?

[Bug 492248] [NEW] Offline IMAP synchronisation unreliable

2009-12-04 Thread Demosthenes
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evolution

Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic)
Evolution 2.28.1
IMAP - confirmed with Gmail and local ISP mail server

I have set folders to be marked for offline synchronisation, as well as
enabling the automatic synchronisation option.  Have synchronised for
offline use and switched offline, and synchronised again when prompted.
Many emails are not available when offline, and network usage indicates
that not much has been downloaded.  Have attempted on two different
systems, both using Karmic.  This is very important to me as this is the
main reason to use Evolution, as I currently have no other way to backup
an IMAP email folder.

Seems to happen on large email accounts.  Tried on a small email
account, and seems to have worked.  On large email accounts, it seems
only a small number of random emails are downloaded.

[Bug 226038] [NEW] nvidia tv output not working

2008-05-03 Thread Demosthenes
Public bug reported:

Prior to upgrading to Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy) I had the TV output working as
a separate independent screen.   Now the TV Output is not working.  I do
have desktop effects enabled (compiz?) - I am not sure if this is an
issue.

The nvidia-utilities (which are not installed by default, neither are
the binary drivers, requiring users to manually install and properly
configure these drivers to obtain full graphics support) do not detect
the TV output.  The screen-resolution application (which I think may be
what I used previously to configure the TV) does not see a second 'TV'
screen either.

[Bug 226038] Re: nvidia tv output not working

2008-05-03 Thread Demosthenes
was just thinking - there is an option to enable as 'independent screen'
in the NVidia-Settings utility - however will this clash with compiz
(desktop effects) enabled?  I think I recall an issue with this
previously and I know how delicate the X-Server (or Linux in general)
can be when playing with things like this.  I don't want to be left
without a working system as I had enough trouble getting the screen
working after upgrading as it is (I had to copy across a X backup
configuration file that I fortunately had or it would have been stuck in
low resolution - I think custom timings are required for my Viewsonic
VA-1912W monitor that the backup configuration file has).

I really hope that Linux (or Ubuntu) works better out of the box some
day?

2007-10-20 Thread Demosthenes
I had a seemingly unsolveable problem with a Dell laptop screen not
being recognised properly under the binary Nvidea driver that was fixed
by some kind contributer uploading a EDID file to these support forums
and then telling X to use that. Problem fixed. I suggest a database be
created of troublesome displays and corresponding EDID files if this
shows some promise to resolve some issues.

Subject: [Bug 3731] Re: Xorg resolution falling back to 640x480 and/or 800x600

From: Chris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Changing Gutsy screen resolutions does not work on my computer.

Gutsy incorrectly chooses 1920x1440 at 61Hz and although I see options
to change such, when I click "apply" nothing happens.

The screen resolution I need is 1152x864. I did hope that Ubuntu would
finally work this time around, but no.

I now have a coaster with Ubuntu Gutsy on it.

Oh well. Maybe this will be fixed in 2008.

2007-09-29 Thread Demosthenes
thanks Bryce..  I finally found the timings for the Viewsonic VA1912W
and manually created a 1440x900 resolution and enabled it and it works,
and enabled anti-aliasing, vibrance, etc with the Nvidia control panel -
but now another weird problem when some apps close (like a full screen
app just now) keyboard and mouse lose focus to the X screen as a whole -
i.e. - can't interact with the computer although mouse cursor can be
moved around (but has no effect)...  ideas?

I really hope the next version of Ubuntu will fix some of these bugs -
it's taken a decade of solid development to get Linux to a point where
it is *almost* usable for the average user, but not quite.  Most people
would not have a clue about manually setting timings and all these
commands.  But I am happy I've made some progress.  Still leaves Linux
in the 'need a lot of technical knowledge' category though, not quite
there yet until these things are easier to resolve or better documented.
Definately an improvement from when I last used Linux a few years ago
though (before Ubuntu existed).

Can't say I have heard Vista is all round easy to install and maintain
either though I have to admit.

Now if I can just resolve this weird 'lose focus' bug?

Would also like to know how to pipe full screen video to the TV as XP
does so flawlessly.
