[Bug 873191] Re: Ubuntu starts with lowest brightness on HP G62[regression]

2012-10-24 Thread Ian Lynch
I came across a suggestion to a brightness issue on a different machine
that was fixed by setting GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=acpi_os_name=Microsoft Windows XP. Apparently
fooling the bios into thinking its running Windows frees up more
facilities including control of brightness.

To make the adjustment to Grub, go to a terminal, sudo gedit
etc/default/grub will put the grub file into gedit, find the line and
edit it and save. Then in the terminal sudo update-grub.

Not yet tried it because I need more time in case I lose my screen
again! But someone else might want to.

Some more details of my set up below. (Note I currently have acpi off as
part of a different more complex fix and hope to be able to get it back
on to stop my laptop overheating and running the battery down in 10
minutes!)

2012-09-09 Thread Ian Lynch
Bug is still present in 12.10 Beta 1. I have managed an ACPI work around
but it is not satisfactory because it leads to overheating and a battery
that lasts about 15 minutes! There must be thousands of these HP intel
driver laptops affected.

2012-04-14 Thread Ian Lynch
I get a complete blank screen with HP G62 on boot. Even if fiddle to get
a visible screen it is restricted to 1024 x 768 so there is definitely
something wrong driver installation wise. My hardware reports intel

display

Is there Ati hardware here too? Lot's of references. Is the system
getting confused between drivers?

[Bug 633596] Re: blank screen on bootup with HP Touchsmart tm2t laptop

2012-04-09 Thread Ian Lynch
HPG62 also seems to have this problem - blank screen on boot, I did
fiddle with something and got it working on Natty but can't remember
what so I haven't been able to upgrade to 11.1 and Precise does it
exactly the same from a USB.

Still seems to be a problem with 11.04 Natty - at least I'm getting 100%

Thanks,

I'll change that now. Sorry if I have caused you hassle. Hopefully this
might help anyone else searching for HP G62 screen problems.

2011-07-27 Thread Ian Lynch
Thanks,

I have changed the grub file using one set of  to replace ' ' in
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=lsb_release -i -s 2 /dev/null || echo Debian

Rebooted and installed Zoho. Still got the message which seems related to the 
grub line I added with an earlier Ubuntu 
i915.modeset=1

This was because on my HP G62 laptop the screen blanked at start up and
this fixed it.  I'm reluctant to remove it just now in case it does the
same as I have some pressing work to do.

I have attached a text file with the out put from sudo undate-grub, the
new grub file itself and the output from installing a program that
invokes the error message. Hope this helps.

[Bug 354183] Re: devede stops immediately with conversion failed error

2011-04-24 Thread Ian Lynch
Ubuntu 10.10 - the Maverick Meerkat - released in October 2010 
ogv file from gtk Desktop Recorder and DeVeDe 3.16.9

Using DivX to convert. In properties set bit rate to 1248, video format
1280 x 720, video options to scale picture

Conversion failed seems a bug of Mencoder.

I did get it to work on one file! But not sure what I did differently.

[Bug 305546] Re: Nautilus crashing/freezing when opening folder with svg file

2010-09-21 Thread Ian Lynch
I'm on Karmic because my hardware isn't supported by higher versions -
ATi 4250 which kills booting on later versions. .svg preview kills
nautilus and it really needs fixing. Non-techs here can't understand why
their desktop background suddenly disappears! I have set my Nautilus
preview option to not display files  500k in preview because it seems
to be the bigger Inkscape files that cause problems. Its a work around
but not a satisfactory fix. I'd fix it myself if I knew how! Disable
preview for .svg should not be that hard and it is better to display a
generic icon for one filetype than crash the whole system. Another
workaround if you can use samba is to put the files on a smb share
because then icons are not displayed.

Its not just Tiffs. I have a file with no tiffs in it that does it.
These are .pngs but the version without embedding does it too so I'm not
even convinced that embedding is relevant.

Duplicate of bug #305546?
