[Bug 1393788] [NEW] xfce4-weather-plugin reports temperature that is too cold by several degrees
Public bug reported: The XFCE weather plugin (xfce4-weather-plugin) uses data from apicache.met.no to report weather from around the world. Unfortunately, that site incorrectly reports temperature for my nearest location: Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. Currently, the applet reports a temperature of -1 degree Fahrenheit (-18 degrees C). However, the National Weather Service site for Minneapolis (http://www.crh.noaa.gov/mpx/) reports a temperature of 10 degrees F (-12 degrees C). I'm not entirely sure how the met.no site works, but it appears to use the output of a computational model to report weather information rather than reporting real-world observations. In my opinion, the applet should use real observations for showing the current temperature and other data.

[Bug 1374896] [NEW] Cannot mount HTC One m8 via MTP on Ubuntu 14.04
Public bug reported: I am unable to mount the filesystems on my HTC One m8 phone. It is an Android 4.x device, which only supports the Media Transfer Protocol for transferring files between the phone and a connected PC. USB Mass Storage is not supported. My phone is the variant sold by T-Mobile USA. When I use the mtp-detect program to connect, this message is printed at the begininng of the output: Unable to open ~/.mtpz-data for reading, MTPZ disabled.libmtp version: 1.1.6 Listing raw device(s) Device 0 (VID=0bb4 and PID=0f25) is UNKNOWN. Please report this VID/PID and the device model to the libmtp development team Found 1 device(s): 0bb4:0f25 @ bus 5, dev 17 Attempting to connect device(s) ...so I am reporting this against libmtp, but there may be other related packages that are affected. At one point, I saw a gvfs error message. This might be considered related to bug #1314556, although I suspect that many devices will run into problems when they are new. Linux in general needs very robust MTP support that is as forward- compatible with new hardware as possible, especially now that newer handsets no longer support the old USB Mass Storage method of transferring files. It is not desirable to have new devices be unusable when they are released and have to wait 6 to 12 months for a new Ubuntu release before they start working, especially since many smartphones are only sold for a year or two before being replaced by new models. I use the XFCE desktop environment. I am able to get an Android Phone icon to appear on my desktop, but when I initially clicked on it, an error would occur and I'd be unable to mount the device. After enabling USB Debugging on the phone (which is a hidden feature on this particular device, requiring using a simple Easter egg to expose the setting), I began to be able to double-click the Android Phone icon and then get a window with one icon for Internal storage and another for SD card.

Public bug reported: I am unable to use osmosis 0.40.1+ds1-7 to convert an XML export from the OpenStreetMap site which I downloaded today. The download includes some nodes (points) which have identifiers that cannot be represented as 32-bit integers.

Public bug reported: I am visiting my parents who have a Samsung HDTV capable of 1920x1080i resolution (30/60Hz interlaced). When I plug in my Dell laptop (Inspiron N4010) with its integrated Intel graphics, I am unable to get the image to display correctly -- it appears cropped, with several percent of the top, bottom, left, and right missing -- I can't see the left-hand launch bar or the top menu bar on the screen. This HDTV displays correctly under Windows. I haven't been able to find any underscan/overscan setting for the display driver, either through xrandr or the Gnome display settings screen. This is something that should more or less just work. I have fought this problem periodically since I bought the laptop in 2010, but the situation has stayed about the same each time I have tried.

[Bug 553073] Re: Make step size of mouse wheel volume control configurable
It looks like the /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/volume_step setting is now (in Oneiric Ocelot 11.10) ignored by whatever the new volume control thing is in the GNOME 3 Shell, so both the keyboard multimedia keys and the mouse wheel have larger step sizes than what I'd like to see. It would actually be nice to have volume control behave on something like a gamma curve for a monitor's brightness -- I have one system at work where the volume goes from inaudible to quite loud in just a few steps, but increasing volume from 20 or 30% up to 100% barely has any effect. But I'm very close to ditching both GNOME 3 or Unity and going for XFCE or something. This is one of dozens of annoyances that have piled up. I'm pretty disappointed that things have gotten to this state, as I've used GNOME since something like version 0.13.

[Bug 579300] Re: Please disable CONFIG_SOUND_OSS* and CONFIG_SND_*OSS*
I vote for restoring ALSA's OSS emulation module to the official kernel,
and blacklisting it by default. If there was a separate package, I
think it would inevitably get out of sync.
I am also dealing with this bug because of MythTV. Personally, I
believe MythTV's 0.23's backend is broken in regards to audio _input_,
though the frontend supports audio _output_ just fine when it's set up
to use ALSA redirected through PulseAudio.
Like mythfrontend, it is often possible for ALSA programs to play nicely
with PulseAudio. Most people should probably have an /etc/asound.conf
file like this:
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}
An ALSA program will read that file and realize it should redirect
output through PulseAudio instead of talking to the hardware device
directly. ALSA hardware devices (stuff in /dev/snd/*) can still be
accessed directly if the programs are set up correctly and PulseAudio is
deciding not to interfere. For instance, I can record audio with ALSA's
arecord utility with arecord -f dat -D hw:0,0 testfile.wav. I can
also make arecord suck data through PulseAudio with arecord -f dat -D
default testfile.wav, and it works. Many people who have issues beyond
that simply need to unmute their sound cards -- this can be accomplished
by starting alsamixer, pressing F6, selecting the appropriate hardware
device, and changing the volume settings.
Unfortunately, some programs just don't work with ALSA, preferring to
just operate with OSS-style devices. As I said, mythbackend seems to be
one of those programs. I agree with yota that MythTV is a killer app
for Linux and Ubuntu. If it doesn't work, it makes the entire platform
unattractive to many people -- including myself, and I've been using
Linux since 1996.

[Bug 573356] Re: Boot hangs after fsck following upgrade from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04
It appears this was addressed in the Ubuntu 10.04 Release Notes at http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 under the heading Changes in boot-time output on Ubuntu Server. If I read that correctly, a splash boot will show instructions for how to get past this by prompting the user to press a certain key, but these prompts don't appear with a non-splash boot. On new installs of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server, no boot splash screen is shown by default. While this provides server administrators with more immediate feedback about their system while booting, it also prevents prompts from reaching the user in the event of filesystem mounting failures. Users can add the splash option to /etc/default/grub if they prefer to always see the splash screen. Hotkeys for interacting with mountall will still work without the splash screen, but are not discoverable: C to cancel a running fsck; M to request a maintenance shell; S to skip an unavailable mount; and F to try to fix errors found by a fsck. Joern, can you try pressing 'S' to skip or possibly 'M' to go to a maintenance shell? I'm not sure whether it's supposed to be entered on the Alt+F1 console or on Alt+F7, so try both... It then references Bug #563916 -- so if Joern can get past this, I think this ticket is a duplicate of that one. -- Boot hangs after fsck following upgrade from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573356 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 84844] Re: firefox freezes in feisty herd 3
I've been having problems with this for a while now. I thought it seemed to go away either just before Ubuntu 9.04 came out, or briefly after the upgrade, but it's back with a vengeance. I had also switched system chassis lately -- originally I'd been running a Dell PowerEdge 600SC, which did not have any sound device in it, and I've now switched to a Dell OptiPlex GX280, which uses the snd-intel8x0 driver from ALSA. Currently, I'm having trouble with some pages on the New York Times website (http://nytimes.com/), and with pages on Minnesota Public Radio's sites which have a small audio player. What's notable about the MPR player is that the player itself goes fubar shortly after it loads -- there's a little play button that appears momentarily, then goes away. Then when I either close the tab or try to navigate away, the browser goes to 100% CPU usage and it must be killed. Here's an example page: http://minnesota.publicradio.org/collections/special/columns/news_cut/archive/2009/06 /coleman-franken_the_reaction.shtml This system can normally play YouTube videos just fine, though I have occasionally had problems in the past if I closed a window while a YouTube video was still playing. I had been blaming PulseAudio for causing this, considering that the pulseaudio daemon would still start on my old system with its soundcard- less motherboard, but I've done what I can to disable PulseAudio on this newer box and it still seems to occur. -- firefox freezes in feisty herd 3 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84844 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

I am going to try to disable them via a gconf-editor workaround I added to that bug report, but I may end up removing the rss-glx package if gnome- screensaver still attempts to run these binaries. rss-glx is a dependency of the ubuntu-desktop pseudo-package, so I'd have to remove ubuntu-desktop as well.

Unfortunately, neither killing the lattice process nor the X server was able to bring the GUI back to life, so I had to shut down the box.

I'm suspicious that there may be a timing issue where the client may be trying to draw an image at the new resolution before the window has switched, or in that instant between the old window being destroyed and the new one being created.

[Bug 378733] [NEW] qemu monitor virtual console won't do scrollback via VNC
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: qemu In order to prevent myself from inadvertently killing virtual machines that I run via qemu, I've been running them with VNC enabled (-vnc or -vnc :1, etc. on the qemu command line) instead of using the normal GUI. However, this has the drawback that I can't use Ctrl+PgUp, Ctrl+PgDn, Ctrl+Up, or Ctrl+Down to look at the scrollback text when I'm in the qemu monitor screen (Ctrl+Alt+2). Because commands like help and info will show more than one screenful of information, I am unable to see much of the text that has scrolled by. I would have expected this to work. And yes, I have tried both using the Ctrl+key combinations on my keyboard and using the F8 popup menu in my VNC client to set the Ctrl key as pressed. (I'm using xvnc4viewer as my client). I see two ways of correcting this: either get the scrollback working via VNC, or implement a more or similar command to allow the text to be viewed a page at a time.

[Bug 312159] [NEW] mythfrontend should crop 1920x1088 video to 1920x1080
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: mythtv The broadcast standard for HDTV in North America (ATSC) is defined as 1920 columns by 1080 rows (lines). However, a limitation of the MPEG-2 video standard is that a video must be encoded using blocks of 16x16 pixels. 1080 is not evenly divisible by 16, so the actual broadcast format is 1920x1088 pixels -- the bottom 8 pixels get cropped off by the playback device. Mythfrontend doesn't seem to be doing this correctly. Most TV stations just encode black in the bottom 8 pixels, but some use a gray bar (my local PBS station, KTCA, currently does this). A black bar usually isn't noticeable, but the gray bar can be quite annoying (note that this gray bar can also appear in transcoded video, so a fix to mythtranscode to crop the video before scaling and re-encoding is also necessary). Another side-effect is that this can cause video to be scaled awkwardly when being displayed on a 16:9 display, since the ratio of the raw video is 16:9.0... Note that there is (or was) also a 1440x1080/1440x1088 format for 4:3 high-definition video, so any fix should probably just generically apply to any video with 1088 lines. I'm not sure what the story is in Europe or other non-ATSC regions, but since this is a side-effect of a fundamental attribute of MPEG video, the same issue probably exists there too. --- [m...@no5][~]$ lsb_release -rd Description:Ubuntu 8.10 Release:8.10 [m...@no5][~]$ apt-cache policy mythtv mythtv: Installed: (none) Candidate: 0.21.0+fixes18722-0ubuntu1 Version table: 0.21.0+fixes18722-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/multiverse Packages --- ** Affects: mythtv (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- mythfrontend should crop 1920x1088 video to 1920x1080 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/312159 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

On the contrary, I just experienced this with Intrepid. -- printing in firefox-3.0b4 (Hardy) produces white gaps between letters near right margin https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/208248 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 278176] Re: Intrepid ubuntu server won't boot RAID1
I saw this as well. lspci reports that I have an Adaptec AHA-3960D controller. Since the device got detected a few seconds after the (initramfs) prompt appeared, I was able to boot the system by just typing exit. I guess the startup scripts will re-scan for the boot device after the busybox shell exits (the first time, anyway). Isn't the correct fix to add this to the commented kopt=... line like this? ## ## Start Default Options ## ## default kernel options ## default kernel options for automagic boot options ## If you want special options for specific kernels use kopt_x_y_z ## where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can be omitted. ## e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro ## kopt_2_6_8=root=/dev/hdc1 ro ## kopt_2_6_8_2_686=root=/dev/hdc2 ro # kopt=root=UUID=d5373d24-cbe4-46be-a4cd-b3457985915a ro rootdelay=40 ...and then, run the update-grub tool? This way, the changes you've made won't get overwritten the next time the update-grub script gets run during a kernel install/upgrade. -- Intrepid ubuntu server won't boot RAID1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278176 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 221664] Re: lilo loads wrong data for big initramfs (?)
I came across this problem too, but it first affected my kernel and caused the system to panic at boot. I only got to this page to figure out the solution after I used a rescue mode boot to install the amd64 server kernel. -- lilo loads wrong data for big initramfs (?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221664 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
