[Bug 1659140] Re: x crashes when I log in and back out of a tty (console, cntrl-alt-F2 thing, whatever)
There doesn't seem to be an "edit" button, so I'll add details in comments as I discover them. In the situation described, the same thing happens if I use the command "logout" instead of "exit". In the error messages put forth by X (I presume) in tty2 while it was crashing in tty1 because I had just done "logout" in tty2, there was an oddity - it stated the time and date and the date was one day behind but the time was correct. I'm in the +5 zone but I suffer a government of idiots and who insist I "save" daylight by setting my clock wrong. It was nominally 2 pm here, but any way you look at it the date was the same at Greenwich unless I'm sadly confused. Under X the date was and is correct. I've now restarted X in tty1 (where it was to begin with - that's where Xenial puts X, not in tty7 as in days of yore) an logged in again in tty2. I did su (I'm a naughty boy - I enabled su) in tty2 got a root prompt, and then entered the command "exit". It went back to a user prompt and did NOT crash X in tty1. So whether "exit" makes X crash depends on the circumstances. I haven't studied "exit" but apparently if I've logged in as user and do "su", exit merely logs out root on the tty. But if I do "exit" on a tty when I'm logged in as user it seems it does something more and that something more is something X doesn't like. It didn't work that way in Trusty. Now I'm wondering if this is properly an X bug, as opposed to a bug in whatever "logout" and "exit" call in common. Or maybe in bash itself. I'd appreciate an opinion as to whether I should report this against a different package. Later, I'll tinker more, and post the log when I find it. For now, for anyone else annoyed by this, my insecure work-around is simply not to log out of ttys but leave them logged in. This is a security problem if you are in an environment where you lock your kb/mouse/screen with something like xscreensaver or xtrlock in that a logged in tty provides an opportunity for an evil person to shut off your screen locker or just do damage from the command line. Not much of an issue for me at the moment. If this problem leads others to this obvious work-around though, I could argue that it is a security issue.

Me too. Under 16.04, 64 bit, with openbox, startx (or xinit) as user fails. Sudo startx gives me a console with a tiny font, so apparently it starts X but not Openbox. I'd explore that further and probably find how to start Openbox, but I don't want to run X as root anyway. I just tried sudo as a diagnostic experiment. I have another 16.04 64 bit system on the same machine using lighdm. That does boot and run openbox. That sys has OTHER problems I won't go into here, but it does prove the problem lies with xinit. Given all the OTHER problems with it, it also proves that 16.04 wasn't ready for release at all, let alone as an LTS.

Mea culpa for redundant post. I entered it on a different page & didn't realize it would wind up here anyway. And 8 was correct, not 9. I'd at least edit it out, but I see no button for that. BTW, unless and until this is fixed, anybody got a workaround for querying to see how accurate the present time is without confusing openntpd? +- 5 seconds is good enough for me, probably even +- 30 seconds would be ok, but recently I've occasionally had times that were off considerably more than that. I THINK that is because I didn't have ANY ntpd-like thing installed, just ntpdate. So that problem is probably corrected now, but still I have some scripts where I log a time and I'd like to add a check to make sure I can count on some minimal level of accuracy at the time I log it.

[Bug 554307] Re: linux-boot-prober yields wrong uuid for kernel root parameter
Thanks, EvilSupahFly. I can now add this:
Rm'ing every grub related file on the other systems, reinstalling grub,
and running update-grub was REALLY BAD IDEA. Now when I try to boot
/dev/sda6 (the system that is an fsarchiver-made clone of my main,
/dev/sda5-based 14.04 system, where grub is supposed to live) all I get
is BusyBox with a prompt something like "[initramfs]". So now my sda5
system is broken. But I can restore the fsa backup again easily enough.
It is possible, AFAIK from my own ignorance, that a modified approach
like that MIGHT work, if you knew exactly WHICH grub related files to
rm, and if anyone thinks that's the case, I'd appreciate their expanding
on the topic, as it sounds to me as if, that if something like that
would work at all it might be either something I'd only have to do once,
or failing that, something that might be simple enough to write a script
to do, and run that script every time I run dist-upgrade or restore an
fsarchiver backup to a partition it wasn't on originally.
When you say manual editing works for you, I assume you mean editing
grub.cfg on the system that should be the one where grub was last
installed via a regular installation procedure (as opposed to restoring
a clone with fsarchiver or Clonezilla). As for update-grub rewriting it
incorrectly, I could just mark it read-only or take the x perm off
update-grub, or alias update-grub to something innocuous. As for
grub.cfg getting outdated and booting old kernels (or crashing if
they've been removed), I seem to remember there is some way to make an
entry that in effect says "boot from the latest one there, whatever it
is". If I had a grub.cfg like that, could I just disable os-prober and
update-grub, and not have to edit until I changed my partition setup?
Would having a seperate boot partition get me around all this and let
grub work automatically?
If I have to manually edit grub.cfg every time a kernel is updated, or
every time I install an OS or restore an fsa or clonezilla backup, would
I be better off switching to a boot loader that was written with the
INTENT that a boot configuration file would have to be manually
maintained?
I've also tried the LILO approach since I posted. It does boot my main
/dev/sda5 14.04 fine, but it didn't pick up on any of the other systems
automatically. So I purged it with apt-get and reinstalled grub ("grub
'2'") hoping I could get find the magic spell to make grub-2 work
automatically, but so far I haven't. So, if I DO have to hand edit every
time constantly, maybe I should revert that.
At any rate, anyone reading this looking for work arounds will now know
at least one thing that does NOT work. Anyone with thoughts on how to
set up a low maintenance boot loader, either with grub-2 or something
else, that can cope with new OSs coming and going through normal
installation and clone restoration, please share your ideas.
Meanwhile, I think I'm going to read up on boot partitions. Thanks for
reading.

[Bug 554307] Re: linux-boot-prober yields wrong uuid for kernel root parameter
BTW, all my linux systems are 1-partition-each, no seperate ~s, or swaps or boot. Keeping it simple. They are on 2 drives, one external, one internal. Grub is on /dev/sda with config files on sda5, which is the one that boots. Some are on primary and some on logical partitions. Sda1 and sda2 are Win-7. I have maybe 7 'nix systems, most but not all of which are 14.04s. And this happened after I defragged the W7 and shrunk its main partition (sda2)(what a collasol PITA - MS makes that hard deliberately, the farstards), put in a new sda6, restored an fsarchiver backup of sda5 to it, reset it to a new UUID, and did update-grub. When it didn't work, I used all the native tools to purge grub* and reinstall. dpkg kept returning errors which I couldn't fix with any dpkg or apt-get commands, despite hours of trying. To my surprise Synaptic had no trouble fixing that. But no matter how many times I purge and reinstall, it is the same issue now. One more work-around I just thought of, in light of some of the comments above, that may be worth trying: -After purging grub* and manually rm'ing any grub related files I can find on the system that installed grub to sda, which I already tried, go on and rm any grub related files I can fine on ALL partitions before reinstalling.

Same thing with me in 14.04. This is a pretty basic thing to be broken for so long. Suggestions for work-arounds would be nice, since it doesn't look fixing it is imminent. Personally, I've tried a 2 grub rescue utilities, one from within one of the partitions that will boot, and another from CD. Neither worked. I'm downloading 2 more to burn optical disks with, but I'm not hopeful.

[Bug 1491554] [NEW] Proxy settings have no effect
Public bug reported: I am using unity-control-center version 15.04.0+15.04.20150410-0ubuntu1 on an Ubuntu 15.04 fresh install. I am trying to configure proxy using proxy URL by going from: System Settings -> Network -> Network Proxy and selecting "automatic" for "method". I need to add Proxy URL as http://wpad.stusta.mhn.de/proxy.pac (as mentioned on the website: http://www.studentenwerk- muenchen.de/swh/stusta/anleitungen/kurz-anleitung.pdf (section 4.) ). However, it is not applying these proxy settings. There is no output in the terminal when selecting "apply systemwide" and only the following line when changing to the network settings: (unity-control-center:5094): network-cc-panel-WARNING **: Error getting registration info: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.ModemManager was not provided by any .service files ** Affects: unity-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1491554 Title: Proxy settings have no effect To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-control-center/+bug/1491554/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1316250] Re: firefox adress bar black on pentium processor with integrated graphics
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1314924 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314924 Toggling gfx.xrender.enabled didn't work for me. Same problem. Just started happening sometime in the last week or so. Url field is a uniform black while the search field on the same toolbar is normal. If I double click in the field to select the text there it becomes visible If I press home or end to bring the cursor to either end of the line it gets black on black again. This really sucks.

[Bug 1394891] [NEW] evim search fails with message: E486: Pattern not found: \\/\c followed by the string searched for
Public bug reported: Ubuntu Trusty 64 bit system built from the mini.iso with Openbox as the WM and sole DE as well. Vim version 2:7.4.052-1ubuntu3. Recently, search has started failing about half the time. In Evim, if I search for some string that IS there somewhere I'll get the following message: E486: Pattern not found: \\/\csome string that IS there somewhere as if it had prepended some stuff to what I what I wanted to search for and searched for that instead. Whenever it does this it is always the same string that gets prepended: \\/\c Seems the longer the string the more likely it is to happen. ** Affects: vim (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1394891 Title: evim search fails with message: E486: Pattern not found: \\/\c followed by the string searched for To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vim/+bug/1394891/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1302875] [NEW] thunar invoked by root does not show unmounted partitions in side pane like thunar invoked as user does in Ubuntu 13.10 using plain Openbox as DE
Public bug reported: Under Ubuntu 13.10, 32 bit version, using Openbox only as the DE, thunar 1.6.3 invoked by root will not show unmounted partitions on an external usb mounted hard drive. Thunar invoked as user shows them in the side pane under Devices. Once the partition is mounted by clicking on it in Thunar invoked as user (which both mounts and opens it) the shortcut appears in the side pane of root-invoked Thunar as well and root can access it at the same mountpoint, /media/username/partition-label. But the ones that haven't been mounted still do no appear in the root thunar side pane despite the fact they all do in the user thunar side pane. I don't know if the same problem appears on internal drives as I don't have any at the moment.

[Bug 1054298] Re: xbacklight doesn't work, but xrandr does and so does /sys/class/backlight
Still doesn't work in Saucy. For me, none of the following, cause any change in screen appearance, nor to they bring any response in lxterminal other than a new prompt: xbacklight -get xbacklight -set 100 -time 0 xbacklight -set 20 -time 0 xbacklight -set 2 -time 0 Running Saucy in plain openbox, no lxde other than lxterminal. Also, as an aside, I think #4 may be misleading in saying The xrandr program also works fine. These commands work fine: [code] # Sets the brightness (i.e., thev transparency) of the LCD layer very dark: xrandr --output VGA-0 --brightness 0.1 # Legitimate values are 0 to 1 # Sets the brightness (i.e., thev transparency) of the LCD layer all the way up: xrandr --output VGA-0 --brightness 1 [/code] but, unless I've misunderstood man xrandr they DO NOT affect the actual brightness of the backlight. In a well lit room, the effect looks very similar, but in a dark room the difference should be apparent. It may be I haven't figured out the syntax correctly, but for me in Saucy, none of these do anything: [code] xrandr --output VGA-0 --set backlight 50 xrandr --output LVDS-0 --set backlight 50 xrandr --output --auto --set backlight 50 xrandr --output auto --set backlight 50 [/code] -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1054298 Title: xbacklight doesn't work, but xrandr does and so does /sys/class/backlight To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1054298/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
