[Bug 294811] Re: [Intrepid] Hotmail reply functionality no longer working after hotmail's last upgrade

2008-11-07 Thread Lars Bratthall
Workaround:

Type about:config in the address field in Firefox

Edit the string General...Vendor (I know I am forgetting something in
the middle here) from: "Ubuntu" to "Firefox".

This seems to cause Firefox to report its full set of version-describing
strings differently to sites it is connected to.

Close Firefox completely.
Restart firefox
Log in to Hotmail again. You will notice that Hotmail is no longer complaining 
about unsupported browser version. (Note: This is a Hotmail bug. Please do 
report your experience with this to Hotmail.)
The text field is now working again.

However, this woraround has some unpleasant side effects: In statistics
based on web metrics, there will be an increase of Firefox as vendor,
and a decrease of Ubuntu as vendor.

[Bug 294811] Re: [Intrepid] Hotmail reply functionality no longer working after hotmail's last upgrade

2008-11-06 Thread Lars Bratthall
Confirming bug on amd64, Ubuntu 8.04 Server - 64 bit, Firefox3.0.3 as
updated by Ubuntu. Functionality does work on IE6 on XP. Seems MS does
not test on common browsers.

Additional info:
When logging in to Hotmail, Hotmail warns that the browser version is not 
supported. It wants me to "upgrade" to, for example, Firefox (sic!). ==> Maybe 
MS is disabling functionality for browsers reporting their version as something 
MS have decided they do not support?

[Bug 181561] Re: Hardy alpha [2-6] daily-live i386 don't boot

2008-03-19 Thread Lars Bratthall
Confirming bug on motherboard ASUS Maximus Extreme SE.

Configuration:
2 * DVDs connected to motherboard, which has a Jmicron controller.Multiple ASUS 
motherboards seem to have that. One is a to be identified OEM-drive, the other 
a modern Samsung DVD-burner.
A set of HDs connected to an AMDC 3ware hardware Raid controller connected 
using SATA2
System works perfectly well using another OS.

Multiple distributions (Knoppix 5.1.1, Debian etch RC1, Sabayon, DVDs
burned at different stations) correctly start installations from the OEM
DVD. Early in the process, they cannot reach the files on the DVD and
show distribution-dependent erratic behaviour..

Will try all_generic_ide, but would prefer not to have to do that. Some
distributions give me a limited shell.

dist based on Debian Etch that may be working)
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-bugs/2005-January/028277.html

Seems there is a long-running bug here, related to mixed
IDE/SATA2-systems?
