[Bug 279065] Re: The live CD installer should detect the presence of OpenSolaris
Colin thank you so much for the reference on the hardware clock! I do appreciate having the bigger picture. As for this statement: I find it very unlikely that a Unix-like system would default to keeping the hardware clock in UTC when no other operating systems are involved: I'm not sure I follow you. Are you saying that in a single OS install you *would* expect the hardware clock set to local time? If so, then I *believe* it's doing what you expect. Regardless, I've been using Linux far longer than Solaris/OpenSolaris, so I'm not the best person to answer your questions. I'll ask around. In the meantime, here are the contents of my /etc/rtc_config file *on a machine where no other operating systems are involved*: ~~ # # This file (/etc/rtc_config) contains information used to manage the # x86 real time clock hardware. The hardware is kept in # the machine's local time for compatibility with other x86 # operating systems. This file is read by the kernel at # boot time. It is set and updated by the /usr/sbin/rtc # command. The 'zone_info' field designates the local # time zone. The 'zone_lag' field indicates the number # of seconds between local time and Greenwich Mean Time. # zone_info=US/Eastern zone_lag=14400 ~~ Hypothetically, were I to now install Ubuntu on this system, OpenSolaris presumably is not going to suddenly realize it has company and switch to UTC. In this scenario, Ubuntu would not detect the other installed operating system and setting UTC=no in /etc/default/rcS. The end result is OpenSolaris would think it's 4 hours later and will continue to think that each time it is used after having booted into Ubuntu. Hence my filing this bug. I hope I'm making some modicum of sense. :-) And thanks again for your help -- and for responding so quickly! -- The live CD installer should detect the presence of OpenSolaris https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/279065 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

Then would an appropriate bug/RFE that you WILLFIX be that the desktop installer would detect OpenSolaris?

[Bug 279065] [NEW] The live CD installer should detect the presence of OpenSolaris
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ubiquity From bug 278429: The desktop installer detects a dual-boot situation and will automatically set UTC=no I have several systems which are dual-boot OpenSolaris/Ubuntu. I typically install OpenSolaris prior to installing Ubuntu, and UTC seems to always be set to 'yes'. So I'm guessing that dual-boot detection is failing when the other OS is OpenSolaris. It would be helpful if the live CD installer would detect the presence of OpenSolaris and set UTC=no. (Bonus points if it could also make an entry in grub's menu.lst. ;-) But I'd be thrilled if Ubuntu would just stop stomping on my system clock without my having to edit /etc/default/rcS.)

[Bug 278429] Re: In /etc/default/rcS, UTC should default to no
Thanks Scott. In the spirit of documentation, for anyone who has the same issue and finds this bug first: 1. Bug 279065 has been opened for the detection of OpenSolaris by the live CD installer. 2. When I went to open a bug against gnome-system-tools (for adding an option to the Time and Date dialog), I discovered someone had already done so: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=357989. Interestingly enough, that bug is the result of an RFE originally filed against Ubuntu (bug 53132). -- In /etc/default/rcS, UTC should default to no https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278429 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 278429] [NEW] In /etc/default/rcS, UTC should default to no
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: initscripts Steps to reproduce: 1. Set your system clock to the local time 2. Boot into Ubuntu 3. Reboot and check the system time Expected results: The system time wouldn't have been changed to UTC. Actual results: The system time was changed to UTC. I've several machines which are dual boot (Ubuntu Intrepid and OpenSolaris 2008.11). OpenSolaris assumes the system time is the local time -- an assumption which I think is reasonable. Unfortunately, Ubuntu keeps coming along and stomping on the time, changing it to UTC. Had I wanted my system time to be UTC, I wouldn't have set it to the local time. :-) I don't recall being presented with a dialog in which I could indicate that I did/did not want my system time changed on my behalf, nor do I see this option in the Time and Date Settings. Fortunately a bit of searching this evening led me to /etc/default/rcS and changing UTC to 'no' solved the immediate problem. It might be nice (i.e. more user friendly) for the Time and Date Settings dialog to have an option about UTC vs. local time. In the meantime (and perhaps permanently), I think /etc/default/rcS should default to UTC=no. (What is the advantage of it defaulting to yes, anyway?)

Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-applets In Edgy, all of applets in gnome-panel had names and/or descriptions and/or labels. For instance, the description associated with the trash applet had a description which indicated how many items were in the trash. The volume control embedded component had the name of volume control and a description which indicated the track and current volume (e.g. Master 83%). The weather applet embedded component's description indicated the city and conditions; the current temperature was contained in a label in one of the component's descendants. And so on, and so on. I just installed Feisty and all of this information seems to be absent -- at least for all of the non-default applets. (It is still present for Show Desktop, Window List, Workplace Switcher, and clock). As a result, screen readers such as Orca can no longer provide access to these items. Instead they can only say panel because that is apparently all that is currently being exposed via AT-SPI. (You can verify this using AT-POKE) Just in case I was missing a package, I tried building and installing from source gnome-panel and gnome-applets. It made no difference.

Public bug reported: The live CD presents the user with a boot options menu and a finite amount of time to respond before the default options are used. I would like to suggest a system beep occur when this menu appears. There have been more than a few occasions when I've booted my laptop from the live CD, turned away briefly, and then discovered that I had to reboot because the boot options menu came and went before I could press F6 and give it the noapic option. A system beep would have grabbed my attention and made the reboots unnecessary. :-) More importantly, however, there have been vast improvements recently in the accessibility options which enable users who are blind to perform an independent install. (Thanks on that front!!!) Unfortunately, the procedure still requires the user to realize that the boot options menu has appeared so that he/she can press F5 followed by the desired option.

Hi Daniel. Please forgive my ignorance/newbieness but The page you link to has you do the following: 1. Start GDB and attach it to the process that crashes 2. Continue the process 3. **When the process crashes** retrieve a backtrack of the crash The problem I'm having is that the process doesn't crash **until I reboot**. It just keeps running. Therefore, I do not see how I can use this method to obtain the backtrace. I did try rebooting into single-user mode figuring that I could do the above and then launch X and hopefully get a backtrace that way. But it seems that at-spi-registryd doesn't get a PID until you launch GDM -- and by that point the crash has taken place. The page you link to links to Another useful how-to. Bug Buddy never appears with the at-spi crash, so I'm looking at Obtaining a stack trace using just GDB. The section Obtaining a stack trace for an applet using just GDB seems to be the relevant one.

[Bug 56452] Re: Edgy: at-spi Crashes frequently
With the new pyorbit, I no longer get the python crashes I mentioned earlier.

Ya know, I tried it without Orca *running*, but I hadn't actually tried disabling the accessibility feature.

[Bug 56452] Re: Edgy: at-spi Crashes frequently
Since the behavior has been seemingly unpredictable, I took some time today trying to reliably reproduce it. Here's what I have come up with. Not sure if it helps 1. Boot 2. Launch Orca from the Applications menu 3. Quit Orca with Insert Q At this point Python crashes (attempted to get a backtrace -- attached). 90% of the time, At-spi-registryd does not immediately crash (no dialog; nothing appearing in /var/crash). The other 10% of the time it does. 4. Reboot at-spi-registryd crashes (log appears in /var/crash). I can reliably reproduce this on two machines. -- Edgy: at-spi Crashes frequently https://launchpad.net/bugs/56452 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I couldn't get a backtrace from within X; had to launch a virtual console.

[Bug 57305] Gaim hangs when you try to paste
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gaim 1. Launch Gaim 2. Launch Gedit, type some text, select it, and copy it 3. Open a window to IM a buddy and use Control V to paste the copied text into the text box. At this point Gaim hangs and its process must be killed. I can reproduce this 100% of the time on my two Edgy boxes. I CANNOT reproduce this on my dapper box on which I have installed Gaim 2.0 b3 from SF. ** Affects: gaim (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Gaim hangs when you try to paste https://launchpad.net/bugs/57305 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 54975] Aplay terminates Fonix DECtalk, sometimes Orca
Public bug reported: If Orca is running using Fonix DECtalk, and aplay plays two sounds, speech stops. Sometimes Orca terminates. Steps to reproduce: 1. Launch Orca from GNOME terminal 2. In a different terminal window execute aplay /usr/share/sounds/phone.wav 3. Repeat step 2 Actual results: The first time, the sound is played; the second time it's played but Orca stops speaking. Expected results: The sound would be played and Orca would continue to speak. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: While I can reproduce this 100% of the time, it seems to be the result of a very specific combination: 1. I can only reproduce it on my laptop which has the following: Ubuntu 6.06, current (as of this moment) Orca from CVS ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 AC'97 Audio Controller I cannot reproduce this problem on either of my desktop computers (each of which has a dedicated sound card rather than onboard sound) 2. It only occurs with Fonix DECtalk; not festival Sometimes I get the following output from Orca: --- Traceback (most recent call last): File /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/orca/gnomespeechfactory.py, line 688, in __speak return speaker.say(text) File /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/orca/gnomespeechfactory.py, line 95, i n say return self.gnome_speaker.say(text) COMM_FAILURE Restarting speech...
