[Bug 1322227] Re: "Lock on suspend" variable cannot be set

2014-06-06 Thread Dimitri Bakalow
As xflock4 is just a script to issue lock command with whatever
screensaver/locker is in use, I juast started to suspect some kind on
race condition, where screen lock has not enough time to activate on
start of suspend sequence.

As crude workaround I tried to add a script in /etc/pm/sleep.d, which
will just make a 3 s delay on start of suspend/hibernate sequence and it
looks like problem is cured...

[Bug 973778] Re: Unable to connect to Xfce Power Manager

2014-05-24 Thread Dimitri Bakalow
There's more to it - commands with --quit and --restart options won't do
anything

~$ ps -ef | grep power-manager | grep -v grep
u**+ 25698 23969  0 00:45 ?00:00:00 xfce4-power-manager
~$ xfce4-power-manager --quit

u**+ 25705 23969  0 00:45 ?00:00:00 xfce4-power-manager --quit
~$ xfce4-power-manager --restart
~$ ps -ef | grep power-manager | grep -v grep
u**+ 25698 23969  0 00:45 ?00:00:00 xfce4-power-manager

u**+ 25711 23969  0 00:45 ?00:00:00 xfce4-power-manager --restart

because it seems like initial instance of xfce4-power-manager "does not
exist" for session manager? Maybe this explains these "did not receive a
reply" messages?

It is actually a desktop computer. Suspend is made from logout-dialog.

There might actually be one other problem related to this, because power
manager settings can not be accessed properly - something quite similar
to report #1302244.

Then we have another problem - although "Lock screen before sleep" is
checked in xfce4-session, screen remains unlocked on resume if light-
locker has --no-lock-on-suspend variable set.

Manual activation of xflock4 locks screen though. Problem might be in
xfce4-session then.

All in all - if --no-lock-on-suspend variable is not set on running
light-locker, then everything works and screen is locked on resume.

[Bug 1240336] Re: Not authorized to perform operation / Unable to determine the session we are in: No session for pid

2014-01-28 Thread Dimitri Bakalow
I just tried a bit of "surgery" - I made a new installation (from the
scratch) into Virtualbox and took all contents of /etc/pam.d and merged
it into my main system - the one with this bug - thus overwriting files
with new ones but keeping all additional files  - not from the system
itself - untouched.

And guess what? Everything seems to work WITHOUT these "workarounds"
tried before. This implies to the difference in some other file in
/etc/pam.d, which is "left over" from 13.04 and causing this problem -
other file than /etc/pam.d/lightdm.

2013-11-12 Thread Dimitri Bakalow
If this bug is marked as confirmed for lxdm, then it must also be marked
as such for lightdm as same workaround is applicable for both of them in
case of a problem as seen in #33 - which was my case BTW.

Of course it depends on which display manager is used as only one can be
in use at a time - Ubuntu has lightdm and Lubuntu has lxdm...

2013-10-19 Thread Dimitri Bakalow
Both of my installations were upgraded by means of Update Manager in
usual way, however one of them did not show this problem. Both are
64-bit.

About this reference to previously mentioned archlinux thread - it looks
quite obvious, that problem poassaibly had some relation to lightdm,
because it was present without logging in (inability to chutdown or
restart). This maybe screwed up user session  with "no session for..."
messages and no visible sessions for loginctl. This workaround fixed
both problems.

Well... I am not sure, whether it will help or not, but I had two
installations upgraded 13.04 -> 13.10.

One worked fine, other one got this very same problem. I am not
completely sure, is this crude workaround or not, but I found help in
this archlinux forum thread as all symptoms were the same.

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=167947

To be exact - post #5 had the thing, that solved the problem - polkit-
gnome-authentication-agent-1 is up and all related stuff is usable
again.

Maybe this will provide some help...

[Bug 218202] Re: numlockx does not turn num lock keyboard light on.

2010-10-15 Thread Dimitri Bakalow
This is occuring now with Maverick and in interesting way - if numlock
is activated in BIOS settings, then it is on initially, but very shortly
after the grub menu numlock LED goes OFF and stays off.

I previously had the numlockx on in XFCE startup and it worked before.

As I primarily use XFCE as desktop, I noticed the problem right away.
LED is indicating numpad status wrongly on XFCE desktop, but not in
tty's, although few toggles with numlock key are needed to get it right
in tty's, but LED still stays "wrong way" on the desktop.

I had the same problem before on Lucid, when I tried the updates from

Now with Maverick there's nowhere to roll back to, but luckily there
just might be a solution to this.

[Bug 585053] Re: ntpdate shouldn't be run by ifup on desktops (conflict with time-admin's NTP options)

2010-05-24 Thread Dimitri Bakalow
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 322518 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/322518

I should note here, that this all happens, when connection is managed
using NetworkManager - as if in clean unaltered install.

I put this bug initially under gnome-system-tools, because the situation
is kind of misleading from the point of ordinary user - synchronisation
takes place even when the user has not changed the setting from "Manual"
to "Keep synchronised". Of course there is more than one way to fix this
misleading situation. If we are considering the simplest - removing the
dependency of ntpdate - then the bug should may be considered to be
against package ubuntu-minimal, which brings the ntpdate in for standard
install.

[Bug 585053] Re: ntpdate running in the background by default

2010-05-24 Thread Dimitri Bakalow
As I said before, this appeares in syslog, when the network connection
is established - I discovered it initially, when I was trying to "debug"
the problems with the wireless connection on laptop.

The problem is not that the ntpdate runs all time in the background, but
the script /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate does run every time when the
network connection is established, as I explained before already.

There is one thing though - if ntp support is installed, then the
selected servers are configurable from the time-admin, but the
/etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate is still invoked every time even when time
settings is set to "Manual" from time-admin, although it respects the
server selection made in time-admin (obviously from /etc/ntp.conf) and
server selection from /etc/default/ntpdate is ignored.

All-in-all:

1. There is no way to prevent ntpdate to run every time, when network 
connection is established - setting to "Manual" in time-admin has no affect on 
this.
2. Servers can be selected after the installation of ntp support and this 
selection is then respected by the /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate script.

 
P.S. There is no "Synchronise now" button in time settings panel any more.


** Summary changed:

- ntpdate running in the background by default
+ no user interface to configure whether time synchronisation is always made on 
establishing the network connection.

[Bug 585053] [NEW] no user interface to configure ntpdate

2010-05-24 Thread Dimitri Bakalow
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

$ lsb_release -rd
Description:Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release:10.04

$ uname -a
Linux U-001 2.6.32-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 28 13:28:05 UTC 2010 
x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ apt-cache policy gnome-system-tools
gnome-system-tools:
Installed: 2.30.0-0ubuntu2
Candidate: 2.30.0-0ubuntu2

It would be logical to expect, that when the time setting is set to
"Manual" in the time-admin, then time is really set manually, and there
is no synchronisation over the network


However even then there are lines like this in the system log:

ntpdate[1364]: adjust time server 91.189.94.4 offset 0.099757 sec

It is like that even after the clean install, when this setting was on
manual and clicking caused the message about the need to install NTP
support to pop out. Interesting... ntp is not installed, but something
is still trying to adjust the time with the server, on this IP, which
happens to be ntp.ubuntu.com.

Even more interesting was to observe, that after installing the NTP
support and changing the time-admin setting to "Keep synchronised with
internet servers" and even after the selecting totally different
servers, there is still this same line on the system log every time
after establishing the network connection. Of course then I discovered
that this is doings of ntpdate, which is installed by default as
dependancy of ubuntu-minimal and has this same ntp.ubuntu.com in its
configuration - and there is no way to see or change it from the user
interface. Other solution could be of course dropping the dependancy in
a way, that ntpdate would not be installed by default on standard
desktop installation, but I am not sure, if this could brake something
else and would therefore be impossible.

The server(s) defined in /etc/default/ntpdate are not visible from the
user interface and there no way to configure them.

I really do not want to describe it as "calling home" (as the setting
with ntp.ubuntu.com has no connection to user interface), but there is
possibility, that someone else would.

In some places it could be even seen as security risk, when the system
is connecting somewhere without any according configuration or the way
to configure this...
