Hi Sebastien,

No I didn't. I just ran Valgrind untill it stopped. In the mean time my 
Ubuntu install has been updated a few times already and haven't had any 
crashes yet. Sorry, I guess there is no confirmation for this one (or it 
is fixed which would be better ;-) )

Thanks

Jan

[Bug 106102] Laptop won't boot after kernel update to 2.6.20-14

2007-04-13 Thread Jan Stedehouder
Public bug reported:

I updated Feisty Fawn this morning (via Synaptic) and did a regular reboot. 
There is a new entry in GRUB for a new kernel 2.6.20-14 generic, but that one 
won't boot the laptop. Instead I see the following error message:
[9.72.] ata1.00: revalidation failed (errno= -19)

Machine specifications:
Acer Aspire 3681  WXMi, 512 MB DDR2 RAM, Intel Celeron M 410, Mobile Intel 940 
GML Express Chipset, 802.11 b/g wifi

I can still boot into the laptop using the 2.6.20-13 generic kernel, so
I have to assume that the problem is related to the new kernel.

[Bug 106063] Re: MASTER: Computer will not boot after 2.6.20-14.24 kernel upgrade

2007-04-13 Thread Jan Stedehouder
Just in case it might be useful: I can still boot into kernel 2.6.20-13,
but it then defaults to Xfce instead of Gnome (I have Gnome, Xfce and
KDE installed, with Gnome as default). Of course, it is something that
can be changed without any problem, but since it happened after the
kernel upgrade...

 Lucky ? In a way.

 I decided to move feisty to /dev/null. I am now using debian etch, maybe
 older and obsolete in some way, but I will be sure I won't face such
 badly rotten kernels !

 Bye ubuntu for the year and half with a such great OS, but you've lost
 my trust :(

   
Sorry, but this is a bit of nonsense. Feisty isn't even considered 
stable yet, you are playing with something in the alpha stage. If you 
can't stand the heat, stay away from the fire. Now, it's just whining 
over something you should expect at this point. Comparing Feisty with 
Debian Etch is unjust, both for Feisty and for Debian Etch.

Enjoy the ride.

No, but the other ones didn't whine and stated they would switch to 
Debian Etch because of a bug in a release that is still tested for bugs. 
You did.

The key issue is this: if you want to have a stable distribution stay 
out of the pre-release cycle. That will save you all disappointments. By 
using Feisty now, even a week before the final release, you have joined 
the group of alfa/beta testers whose primary purpose is to 
find/stumble/crash into the bugs and report them. Complaining about the 
bug and then saying goodbye to Ubuntu in exchange for Debian Etch, 
well... that's for another forum.

[Bug 69054] Re: OPC failed

2006-10-29 Thread Jan Stedehouder
Of course I needed to continue working and so the testing continued as
well. I might have found the cause and the solution to the problem.

By default Ubuntu mounts empty optical disks using Nautilus Burner. I
immediately click ignore once it pops up and I find it more of a
nuisance than anything else. There is an option to disable that option (
System- Preferences - Removable Stations), but I hadn't done that yet.

When the OPC Failed problem occured again this afternoon the idea popped
up to disable the above mentioned option. I have burned two DVD's since,
the last one with an altered project name again and it started without a
problem.

My hypothesis is now the following: while mounting the disk, Nautilus
Burner starts up some processes and/or applications that are also being
used by K3b at the time. The time frame between me pressing the Ignore
button in Nautilus Burner and starting a new burn process in K3b is too
short. The conflict results in K3b not being able to start the optimum
power calibration. Short is in this case between 10 and 30 seconds (I
can click fast).

I will continue testing and try to find the processes involved.

[Bug 22667] Re: 2.6.12 and above create 100% CPU with xorg on iMac

2006-10-01 Thread Jan Stedehouder
Just to add a note that I experienced the same problem last week on my
iMac Indigo (500 Mhz, 768 Mb RAM). I downloaded the most recent versions
of Ubuntu alternate and Xubuntu alternate (the regular ones would not
boot) and attempted to install them.

After installing it took a very long time for GDM to load and the screen
to be drawn. After login I could move the mouse freely, but after
clicking on a menu item the system froze. Only a hard reset was
possible.

Debian Sarge and Debian Sid don't have the same problem. Sarge is
running 2.6.8 kernel by default. I tried Yellowdog on the same box and
it didn't have this problem as well. It seems to be specific to Ubuntu.

The suggested DRI and FBDev options work fine both in Yellowdog and
Debian Sarge/Sid and did not have to be uncommented on my box.

[Bug 57153] Re: [Bug 57153] Solution Proposal

2006-08-26 Thread Jan Stedehouder
Robert Penz schreef:
 I propose following solution:

 1. add a menu point to grub name Rescue Mode
 2. boot into an low Runlevel
 3. start a dialog-based console program which has following features

 -  look for and install updates
 -  look at the installation history and remove possible updates (sorted by 
 install time)
 - show last boot log (parses the syslog for the new syslog start and shows 
 the last lines before it.) 
 - start networking
   + Show Emergency Information from Ubuntu (lynx without navigation or 
 something like this)
   + Rescue Support Channel  (Text based minimal IRC which just joins just the 
 #ubuntu-rescue  channel on freenode)

 With this even a user which doesn't know anything about the user can get
 help/information.

 ps: you can also start that menu if the xserver start fails during
 booting

   
This suggestion has some valid points, but I wouldn't mind taking this a 
bit further.  Why not integrate system restore into Linux and into the 
menu? I mean, that is one of the things that I have found very useful in 
Windows XP and I know that many XP users have used that feature on more 
than one occasion. Mind you, I don't know enough of what this will take, 
or if there are any security issues associated with it.

The networking feature looks okay, but might be a bit daunting for 
people with only GUI experience. Joining IRC seems nice, but who is 
going to answer the repetitive questions from the users that experience 
problems. One of the big problems I have noticed over the years is how 
difficult it is for end-users to describe and define the problem. 
Without that it is difficult to solve it. For the newbie user having an 
option to restore everything back to a previous restore point is simple 
and straight forward. Beyond that restore point there should be a fast 
and easy access to what caused the problem in the first place, otherwise 
the end-user will just stop updating his sytem in order to prevent a 
similar thing from happening. This requires a set of analyses tools that 
could take the information in the various logs, compare it to the same 
logs at a previous restore point (the one that was reverted to) and 
present a list of things that could be wrong with links to a website for 
common and specific solutions. That's the kind of process I can 
visualize, but whether it can be implemented I don't know.

 happen in Windows's life !!

 But, maybe it could be a good idea to think about a way of restarting
 from a previous configuration...
 Maybe booting from Installation CD, and downgrading ? Or something like
 that ?

   
That would definitely be an asset. I tried to use the Ubuntu DVD to 
backup my /home folder, but I couldn't access it that way. Okay, I did 
not really look into it, but the fact is that Knoppix recognized and 
mounted all my partitions (ext3, NTFS and FAT32) making it easy to use 
it in salvage.

Better and easier problem solving tools that won't require extensive CLI 
knowledge would be an improvement.
