[Bug 1199774] Re: No calDAV and iCalendar support

2017-01-06 Thread Keefer
I'm in the process of killing my Google account; switched to Ubuntu
Touch and just noticed that CalDav/CardDav is missing. I'm particularly
concerned with the lack of CardDav support, I'd like to be able to sync
my contacts from my ownCloud installation. Any recent progress on this?

[Bug 1404824] Re: [Scopes] There is no way to uninstall a scope on ubuntu phone

2016-11-29 Thread Keefer
Also looking for a way to completely remove unwanted scopes from my
ubuntu nexus 4, I bought this device because I was enticed by the
new/open platform and wanted to experiment with development for it...
but this bloat is unwelcoming.

It should be as intuitive to uninstall a scope, as it is to uninstall an
app. That is, I expect to long-tap on the scope in "Manage" view, and
see a page where I can uninstall it.

[Bug 822904] [NEW] [pulseaudio] Waiting for sound system to respond..

2011-08-08 Thread Kyle Keefer
Public bug reported:

Thanks in advance for your time.

I've got a bit of a problem with pulseaudio.  It wont work.  I've tried
deleting the .pulse folder.  Tried adding it to the startup
applications.  Nothing helps.  I got this error because I tried to
uninstall pulseaudio to fix sync problems when watching movies.  I ended
up losing all sound, and had to reinstall it.  Didn't get the sound back
until I installed JACK.  But now when I try to go to the Sound
preferences I get Waiting for sound system to respond which is
disconcerting because I can't switch the sound output to the HDMI cable
when I wanna watch movies on my TV.  Any help would be much appreciated;
I'd rather not reinstall Ubuntu if I can help it.

Here's some of the output I got when I tried troubleshooting this
myself:

[Bug 757003] [NEW] Ubuntu Live CD's screen goes black when running from USB

2011-04-10 Thread Kyle Keefer
Public bug reported:

Sorry if you guys hear stuff like this a lot, I decided to give Linux a
try yesterday and it's been a pain in the ass ever since!

I downloaded Ubuntu 10.10, the 32 bit version.  Installed it to a USB
stick.  When I book up I see the screen that says Boot from this Disk,
Install to HD, etc..  I want to successfully boot it from the disk
before I go and install it permanently on my computer, but every time I
run Ubuntu from the USB the screen goes black about 3 seconds later.  I
can hear some African sounding music which I assume is Ubuntu running,
but I can't see anything.  S I guess it's a driver issue.

I've got a Gateway NV59c computer with Windows 7 at the moment.

Intel Core i3-330M processor
Intel HD Media Graphics Accelerator

Can anyone help me, please?

I haven't done it yet with Jaunty/external combo. When I feel brave

Seems to get tougher with each version,

 I work on a fully patched Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty installation an try to get an 
 external USRobotics UBS dial-up modem online. No success so far, although I 
 got it to work with Ubuntu 8.10. Some details:
 - Setting up the dial-up connection was done with pppconfig
 - pon ISP and poff work with my user permissions, plog is only available via 
 sudo plog
 - ifconfig shows the ppp0 connection (DNS, IP, Gateway are all ok)
 - Network Tools show the ppp0 connection
 - NetworkManager Applet 0.7.0.100 does not realize ppp0.
 
 I tried suggestion 1a and 1b. Both without success. Firefox, Evolution
 and other software still think, that there is no Internet connection.
 What could I else do to get the applications working correctly?
 
 Thanks in advance.

 The lack of dial-up support is a huge handicap for Ubuntu in attracting new 
 users. Ubuntu should be a natural for millions of dial-up people because of 
 its lean resource requirements,-- and especially for those who dread tying up 
 their lines with Vista updates/SPs. While there was grudging dial-up support 
 in Feisty and Gutsy, the utter lack of it now with Intrepid is preventing 
 millions of people here in Canada and elsewhere from switching to Ubuntu. 
 Let's deal with the Intrepid/Ubuntu 8.10 challenges,-- and I'm being positive 
 here in the fact I'm writing on an Intrepid installation via dial-up on a 
 Winmodem, through Gnome-PPP, and without having Firefox work Offline 
 issues. While I've done this on multiple machines, the steps to get here asks 
 too much of many users,-- and therefore I'm urging that the dialup oversight 
 be fixed, possibly by giving the option of using the earlier NM or by 
 incorporating the earlier features.
 
 Work-Arounds for Dial-up with Intrepid
 
 1. The lack of support for dial-up is one NM issue, but the other is its 
 interference with Firefox in causing the Work Offline annoyance. Fixes for 
 the Firefox annoyance range from
 (a) entering about:config in the Firefox address line and toggling the last 
 field of browser.offiine, browser.offline-apps.notify, and network.online to 
 false,
 (b) to the more extreme but powerful one of editing of NetworkManager.conf as:
   sudo gedit /etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf
 and replacing all instances of allow with deny. When in doubt, save 
 back-up copies of any files you experiment with. My experience is that the 
 effectiveness of (a) seems to be mobo-specific, while (b) is 
 brute-force-effective.
 
 2. Now, while many dial-up people will simply pack it in on Intrepid, and 
 either stay with an earlier version or leave Ubuntu shaking their heads, here 
 are the steps on how to do it for many winmodems:
 (a) Check your modem chipset. If it's a Conexant marked with HSF, then you 
 can either download and purchase a kernel-specific driver from Linuxant, or 
 hybridize the necessary driver from Linuxant's free version 
 hsfmodem-7.80.02.03full.tar.gz (for user evaluation at 14.4 kB/s) and the 
 free Hardy driver hsfmodem-7.68.00.09oem.tar.gz on the Dell Ubuntu driver 
 site. I've tried the HSF drivers over a range of the corresponding modems and 
 found them to work well (the only problem I had was with a batch of older 
 Conexant modems bought on eBay). Driver coverage for other modems is patchy, 
 and for the cost of a modem, HSF is probably the easiest way to go. If you 
 want to verify that a modem will work, Linuxant has listings of makes and 
 chipsets on its website, along with a diagnostic program and instructions.
 
 Since Dell doesn't yet supply the Intrepid HSF driver, here are the steps for 
 hybridizing to a full-speed driver:
 (i) Download the source Hardy hsfmodem-7.68.00.09oem.tar.gz from Dell and 
 hsfmodem-7.80.02.03full.tar.gz from Linuxant by Googling the filenames + 
 company names. Expand the packages and change to the storage location.
 (ii) Remove modules/imported from the Linuxant source directory.
   sudo rm -r hsfmodem-7.80.02.03full/modules/imported
 (iii) Substitute modules/imported from the Dell Hardy driver source directory 
 to make the hybrid. 
   sudo cp -r hsfmodem-7.68.00.09oem/modules/imported

2009-07-23 Thread Richard Keefer
Dear Fred,

I feel we're a bit like monkeys at the keyboard on this, and that
there's probably an elegant fix in modifying Network Manager itself,--
but familiarizing myself with its innards is not something I have time
for.

BTW, I had tried swapping-in an earlier Network Manager, as suggested by
some people in the Far East, but no luck with the changes they
suggested.

There are about 1.5 MM people on dial-up in Canada, suggesting perhaps
10-15 MM people in the U.S., and so it seems myopic not to fix the
problem.

Another avenue I'm trying in the next few days is to see if I can grab
some of the Red Flag Linux utilities, since there is a lot of dial-up
there.

Best wishes,

Richard

 Thanks, at least I can do dialup now, and if I need to I can change

I found it was necessary just to hit enter at the prompts. Then restart. The 
installation can be checked with 
  sudo hsfconfig --info
and the command set (including driver removal) is listed with
  sudo hsfconfig --help

(b) Set up wvdial to update Add/Remove programs:
  sudo wvdialconf  
  sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
Check and edit Username, Password, Phone, and the modem address (typically 
Modem=/dev/ttySHSF0 for these modems).
You can now dial and update (and access Firefox) after starting it in terminal 
with 
  sudo wvdial
(c) Add Gnome-PPP from Add/RemoveAll available applications. Gnome-PPP will 
only run from root without changing permissions.
(d) Gnome-PPP permissions:
First, SystemAdministrationUsers and GroupsUnlockManage GroupsAdd 
Groupdippropertiestick username.
Then
  sudo chown root:dip /usr/sbin/pppd
  sudo chmod 4754 /usr/sbin/pppd
  sudo chmod 777 /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
  sudo chmod 777 /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
  sudo chmod 777 /etc/ppp/peers

With these changes, Intrepid works nicely on dial-up.

Having recommended earlier Ubuntu versions for dial-up people
experiencing frustration in the MS world, I'd like to be able to do the
same for Intrepid.
