[Bug 1006145] Re: Logitech Mouse not recognised on boot in 12.04

2012-05-29 Thread LEGOManiac
In my case, (and others who responded to my question on Launchpad), the
problem is that the mouse and keyboard don't work at all, not even if
you unplug them and plug them in again.

The live CD works on that system (that is to say, the mouse and keyboard
work). Interesting to note that after Ubuntu 12.04 failed, I tried an
upgrade to the current version of Mint. It did exactly the same thing.
Yet in both cases, the live CD works, just not the upgraded system.

I haven't tried a clean install as I have several user accounts I have
to migrate off the mahine first and I haven't gotten around to it yet.

[Bug 734468] [NEW] Grub2 won't boot XP from second hard disk

2011-03-13 Thread LEGOManiac
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: grub2

After working with contributors on this problem, it was suggested by one
of them that I file a bug report. The original question is here:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+question/148849

I'll summarize:

I have a Dell Dimension 2400. In it I have put 2 PATA drives. The first
was the original drive with XP, to which I added lubuntu. The second
drive I added because of bugs in the original XP install that prevent it
from seeing external storage media. I removed the original drive and
installed XP to the second drive and all was well. After confirming the
second drive was running, I added the first drive back in and booted
lubuntu and used os-prober to create a grub menu that would boot lubuntu
10.10 first, my buggy XP install second, and the good XP install third.

When I boot, I get the grub2 menu. lubuntu and the buggy xp copy boot
OK. When I try to boot the good XP copy, I get:

error: no such device 24f45c23f45bf590
error: hd1, msdos1, cannot get c/h/s values

and when I press Enter, I'm returned to the Grub2 menu. It had occurred
to me that installing XP to the master hard disk and them making it the
slave hard disk might be a problem in itself, but if I'm interpreting
the error message correctly, grub is never handing off to ntldr and it's
currently a grub2 problem, not an XP problem.

I was asked to run a script that gathers diagnostic information on my boot 
setup. The results have been posted here: 
http://paste.ubuntu.com/579774/

To answer the 4 questions:
1) Release: Ubuntu10.10
2) Package Version:

root@Dimension-2400:/home/matthias# apt-cache policy grub2
grub2:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3
  Version table:
 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3 0
500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/universe i386 Packages
It turns out grub is also installed - I hope that's not causing a problem:
root@Dimension-2400:/home/matthias# apt-cache policy grub
grub:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 0.97-29ubuntu60
  Version table:
 0.97-29ubuntu60 0
500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main i386 Packages

3) I expected it to simply boot XP Pro from the second hard disk

4) I ended up getting bumped back to the grub menu after the error:

error: no such device 24f45c23f45bf590
error: hd1, msdos1, cannot get c/h/s values

The UUID value shown is correct for that drive.

[Bug 419143] Re: Printing from evince (and perhaps other GTK apps) to PostScript printers is broken (0a bytes inserted into PostScript output)

2010-12-11 Thread LEGOManiac
Four days ago I unsubscribed to this list as I hadn't had this problem in 
months and assumed it was fixed. Today, I tried printing a calendar and 
discovered the bug still exists.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10, fully patched as of this afternoon (Dec. 11, 2010).
The problem surfaces when I try to this PDF from Document Viewer. I've had to 
resort to using Okular.

When I print it from Document viewer, the printer light flashes to
indicate that it is receiving data, but nothing ever prints. Printing
from Okular works fine.

For what it's worth, the calendar is formatted for 11x17 paper but I
was trying to print it to legal size pages. I'm not sure if it's the
printer or the computer that does the appropriate scaling, in case that
has anything to do with it.

[Bug 419143] Re: Printing from evince (and perhaps other GTK apps) to PostScript printers is broken (0a bytes inserted into PostScript output)

2010-12-11 Thread LEGOManiac
I'm using a Laserjet 2605dn. The problem was happening consistently (6
attempts) and continued after a reboot of the printer. I was also using
Document Viewer 2.32.0 to view and print the calendar.

When Okular worked, I chalked it up to a problem with Document Viewer or
some component thereof.

It's now about 5 hours later and I just tested it again but this time I
*can* print it from Document Viewer.

I hate intermittent problems.

[Bug 573999] [NEW] 10.04 not picking up prior change to graphics card

2010-05-02 Thread LEGOManiac
Public bug reported:

After using sudo apt-get upgrade, my Acer netbook won't boot into X.
Using startx from the command prompt fails

I tried sudo shutdown now

This got me to the menu where I could try a Xserver in safe mode, to
which I get the following curious message about Ubuntu running in low-
graphics mode with the following errors in the dialog box:

Failed to load module i810 (module does not exist. 0)
Failed to initialize GLX-extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)
config/ha;l: couldn't initialize context: unknown error (null)

I have no mouse control, so I can't click through this dialog box, nor
does it respond to enter or space, nor to the power button. I have to
force a shutdown.

Now, the second error message is interesting. The hard disk in the
netbook comes *originally* from an Ubuntu laptop with an nVidia graphics
controller. When the laptop died, the drive was moved to this Acer
netbook with an Intel graphics controller and the nVidia driver was
removed and all was well. Im surprised that it seems to think it's
using nVidia again. I wonder where it's getting it from...

When I initially put the drive in the netbook, I had to go into recovery
mode and type:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

to ditch the nVidia graphics support and all has been well ever since.

I'm writing this up as a bug because I believe that 10.04 should have
looked at the current state of the system when trying to decide on a
graphics driver. I realize the old nVidia driver is probably still on
the system since I didn't expressly remove it but the upgrade installer
should be looking at what was being used prior to the upgrade, not at
what may or may not still exist on the system. At least, that appears to
be what's happening.

[Bug 572471] [NEW] 10.04 LTS installation leaves users hanging after MySQL problem with no means of moving forward

2010-04-30 Thread LEGOManiac
Public bug reported:

Two days ago, just before 10.04 LTS was released into the wild, there
were some security updates. I tried to install them. They included a
kernel update and it failed with the following messages as copied from
the dialog box:

E: linux-image-2.6.31-21-generic: subprocess installed post-installation script 
returned error exit status 1
E: linux-image-generic: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: linux-generic: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

Now, I ignore this since 10.04 was due the next day anyway so last night
I tried the 10.04 LTS upgrade.

In two separate dialog boxes I got the following errors:

subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

It was late and I had left the computer running and was to tired to pay
much attention to what point in the installation this was happening. I
figured there's probably a log file that will tell me that anyway. (but
I don't know which one)

This morning I came back to it (I'd left the install running during the
night as I was too tired to stay up) and was being prompted by a dialog
box to keep or change a configuration file. Nothing relevant here - I
just kept going.

Ultimately, I ended up at a dialog box regarding MySQL and Bacula and
requiring the MySQL database admin password.

I did once take a look at Bacula but decided it was too complicated to
set up at the time and I abandoned it. It is not currently installed. I
don't recall ever setting up MySQL (but I may have) but what puzzles me
is that I would have given it the same password as my user account, yet,
when the dialog box appeared, it wanted that password and rejected it. A
blank password didn't work either so in the end I was forced to skip it.

Now I'm at a point during the 10.04 LTS upgrade where, within the dialog
box, there is the terminal and it's showing:

┌───┤ Configuring bacula-director-mysql ├───┐
 │   │ 
 │ An error occurred while upgrading the database:   ↑

 │   │ 
 └───┘ 

Nothing I press on the keyboard moves me forward. I've tried clicking on
the console window and pressing space, enter, o, and esc.

In desparation, even though it's a console window, I've tried clidking
on Ok

The up/down arrows allow me to scroll the text a bit (there are two
additional lines) but no other options are presented other than Ok


So how do I move forward?

[Bug 486144] [NEW] Unable to print PDFs to HP Color Laserjet 2605dn

2009-11-20 Thread LEGOManiac
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evince

On two machines - one upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 and the other a clean
install of 9.10, if I print a PDF to my HP LaserJet 2605dn printer,
connected via ethernet, the print will appear to go through but will not
actually produce a page (ie. it seems to abort).

This applies to both colour and BW PDFs ranging from 1 page to 48 and
whether I select to print the entire document or just the current page.

More specifically;

When I view the PDF and select print, the print queue shows the job as
processing, the printer data light flashes - and this may go on for
several minutes with large documents - but then the light stops
flashing, the job dissapears from the queue and no paper is passed
through the printer - it's as though the job gets aborted.

Printing from Adobe's acroread is successful.
