[Bug 1222618] [NEW] Additional Driver choices don't always correspond correctly to installation actions
Public bug reported: TL;DR: Double-check the indexing of radio buttons in the Additional Drivers dialog and how they correspond to installation actions, because there's something fishy going on. I have a Radeon HD 6870, and on a fresh 13.04 install I wanted to install proprietary drivers for it. Found the Additional Drivers tab and had three choices which were, in order: xserver-xorg-video-ati, fglrx-updates, and fglrx. I selected fglrx-updates, hit Apply Changes, and afterward confirmed with apt that it was installed. I rebooted, and all was fine. Later the same day, I wanted to revert to xserver-xorg-video-ati. I go into the dialog, select it, Apply Changes, and am decidedly unhappy to learn from apt that now fglrx-updates has been removed and replaced with fglrx instead of xserver-xorg-video-ati. The dialog still assured me that this was not the case. Seeing as fglrx was not installed, I told the dialog to install it. Afterwards, apt said fglrx-updates was installed again! So I told the dialog to install fglrx-updates, and finally both versions of fglrx are uninstalled and replaced by xserver- xorg-video-ati. At this point, the Additional Drivers dialog still happy thinks that fglrx-updates is installed. After a reboot, Additional Drivers agrees with apt that xserver-xorg- video-ati is what is installed. ** Affects: software-properties (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1222618 Title: Additional Driver choices don't always correspond correctly to installation actions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1222618/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 978604] Re: Banshee/Rhythmbox regularly stop playing audio when left on in the background
There seem to possibly be several different issues going on here, but I'll tell you how I worked around one of them. My symptoms were: Banshee is playing music, monitor goes off due to machine idle, Banshee continues playing until end of track and then stops. When I move the mouse to get the monitor back on, Banshee starts playing where it left off (i.e. it begins the next track). I worked around this issue by disabling Banshee's Notification Area Icon extension. This means I no longer get notification popups when the track changes, but it allows Banshee to keep playing in the background after the computer goes idle and the monitor goes off. Is it possible that Banshee is blocked from starting playback, waiting to post a notification that can't be posted when the computer is idle? By the way, I'm using Banshee 2.4.0 under the Cinnamon desktop on Linux Mint Maya (based off of Ubuntu 12.04). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/978604 Title: Banshee/Rhythmbox regularly stop playing audio when left on in the background To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/978604/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

One more thing: I'll second the observation that the size of the white box seems related to the size of the window being opened.

I see this behavior as well under Unity, even with global menus disabled (i.e. I uninstalled indicator-appmenu).

[Bug 758248] Re: memory leaking in compiz
There is also discussion of indicator-multiload as the source of the memory leak in #720446. Look in particular at comments #42 and #44 there. These say that: 1) the leak does not occur when using indicator- multiload in Classic, only in Unity; and 2) indicator-multi-load is, every second, loading a newly generated icon to display. That would qualify as heavy use of some api function as Peter mentioned.

[Bug 758248] Re: memory leaking in compiz
@Robotex: Yes, that's true, but it misses the point I was trying to make. There is the system indicator applet (which lives in the gnome panel) that *looks* just like indicator-multiload (which lives in the indicator area), and I agree that these are different programs with different codebases. Only the latter is usable in Unity. Obviously the gnome panel applet, which is only usable in classic, is not leaking. However, one can use indicator-multiload, in the indicator area, in classic mode as well. In this case, it does not appear to cause a leak.

I've upgraded to Karmic Alpha-2, as requested. The bug still crops up intermittently, where an application (especially Eclipse) will hang when I'm interacting with the GUI using the mouse. Contrary to my earlier report, it doesn't seem to be specific to Synaptics, as I've reproduced the bug while using an external mouse only. On the most recent hang, I sshed into the hung machine as before, and looked at the Xorg.0.log. Unfortunately, it did not contain a backtrace as it did before.

[Bug 300523] Re: syndaemon turns disabled touchpad back on after typing
Further investigation of this issue has seen me return to the vanilla Xorg.conf (without SHMConfig turned on). The issue can be described more simply as follows. 1. syndaemon, as launched by the default Intrepid install, is using XInput to change the touchpad properties. 2. synclient uses SHMConfig to change touchpad properties, and requires SHMConfig to be set in Xorg.conf, even though it isn't by default. 3. /etc/acpi/asus-touchpad.sh uses synclient to toggle the enabled state of the touchpad. Trying to use a mixed SHMConfig/XInput solution to control touchpad properties caused the issue I described initially. There are two solutions to this that I can see. One is to update synclient to use XInput instead of SHMConfig, to be in line with the recently-updated syndaemon. The other, which I have implemented as a workaround, is to edit the asus-touchpad.sh script to use XInput to toggle the touchpad on and off. The modified asus-touchpad.sh is attached; it now works correctly with syndaemon. ** Attachment added: modified asus-touchpad.sh, works through `xinput` instead of `synclient` now http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20235392/asus-touchpad.sh -- syndaemon turns disabled touchpad back on after typing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/300523 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 300523] [NEW] syndaemon turns disabled touchpad back on after typing
Public bug reported: When I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10, the button on my Asus laptop that toggled the touchpad on and off stopped working. The button is controlled by the included /etc/acpi/asus-touchpad.sh, which uses synclient to toggle the touchpad state. I turned on SHMConfig in my Xorg.conf and the button started working again. Now, however, when I have the touchpad disabled, syndaemon (run with -i 0.5) will re-enable it after I type something. This behavior was not observed in Ubuntu 8.04; I expect that syndaemon will set the touchpad back to its previous state after the typing timeout, as opposed to always returning it to the enabled state. My current workaround for this is to run syndaemon with -S, which apparently causes it to use the SHMConfig-based system instead of the new XInput-based system (reference: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=948250page=2). So, it seems to me that the XInput-based syndaemon should get this behavior right too, unless of course the asus-touchpad.sh script is toggling the touchpad status in an incorrect way. ** Affects: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- syndaemon turns disabled touchpad back on after typing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/300523 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
