[Bug 38131] Re: Firefox causes massive Xorg CPU usage

2011-03-26 Thread Owen Tuz
I can confirm this in the recent release of Firefox 4. As Steve
mentioned, it's easily reproducible simply by performing a Google Image
search. This causes high CPU usage from the X server and on my computer
at least, the display temporarily freezes.

I'm running Arch Linux, with an Nvidia 8200M (notebook) video card. If I
can help by providing more information, please just ask. This has
basically made Firefox unusable for me (so I'm posting from Chromium).

[Bug 204345] Re: [hardy] [amd64] system sounds and flash sound output are redirected to the wrong sound card

2009-02-17 Thread Owen Tuz
So I'm late to the party but for posterity's sake, I fixed this by
adding

option snd_hda_intel index=-2

(where snd_hda_intel is the name of my internal sound card, which I want
to use for capture but not for playback) to  /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base,
and commenting out the similar line which applied to my USB sound
device.

Jan, you mentioned that you'd tried giving the new soundcard a lower
priority, so maybe this didn't work for you but I thought I should
record it here just in case.

Cheers, 
 Owen

[Bug 283759] Re: rt73usb intrepid 8.10 beta -- wireless connection periodically lost; must restart driver

2008-12-21 Thread Owen Tuz
Backports solved this problem for me but I'm on a new laptop which had
some unrelated wireless issues (damn Atheros drivers) and thought this
might be helpful?

Hope it helps in some way.

2008-11-05 Thread Owen Tuz
Ignore previous comment.

It's early days yet, but installing "linux-backports-modules-[kernel
version here]-generic" package from my package manager appears to have
solved this.

I use Skype daily and prior to this was unable to carry on a conversation 
without the internet disconnecting partway through - now for two days running I 
have had no problem with this and was even able to stream live video whilst 
Skyping last night with no connection loss (although it didn't do the Skype 
call much good!).
 Like I said, early days, but thank you joshyg6.

By 'versionname' do you mean the current version of the drivers? Sorry,
but how would I find that? This internet thing is getting annoying :(

2008-10-30 Thread Owen Tuz
** Description changed:

  No package hint given because I'm not sure, but my guess would be that
  the problem is either in kdebase-plasma or kdeplasma-addons.
  
  I'm using Kubuntu 8.10 beta with all the latest updates and whatnot.
  
  A (seemingly) unrelated attempt to start wineconsole with incorrect
  syntax seems to have been the trigger for something - the display
  dissolved into colours for a bit, and now my panel won't fit plasmoids
  properly - while the icons appear the usual size, the space they take up
  is huge, and can't be resized. For instance, the clock takes up almost
  the entire panel by itself, meaning I have no room for anything else if
  I want it. The system tray and task managers have a similar effect.
  
  I've tried uninstalling the entire kubuntu-desktop package and
  reinstalling it, but the only effect this has had is to disappear the
  desktop folder view...
  
  I don't know what to give you as technical info, but ask and ye shall
  receive
  
   - Thanks, 
  Owen
+ 
+ Update: The display disruption which started it all has been continuing
+ - it seems to be linked to use of the terminal in some way. It's making
+ KDE hard to use for any length of time, and this combined with some
+ problems with Ubuntu Studio have persuaded me to change to Gnome.
+ 
+ If all goes well with that I may remove KDE completely - I don't know if it's 
worth leaving this here (I know one other person on the internet had the same 
problem, but that's all I could find) or removing it. 
+ Not the most helpful approach, I know, but if my display is going to dissolve 
into colours regularly I can't get any work done on here - I tried to take a 
screenshot with KSnapshot but it either disappears completely or worsens so I 
can't see the program at all.

2008-10-30 Thread Owen Tuz
Afraid not - I've tried adding and removing all the widgets, but my
problem is that some of them take up more space than they need to - a
slightly dodgy illustration would be that the system tray is this big

|--|

but it takes up this much space on the panel (which, when moving it, can
be seen as a highlighted space around it)

||

The clock's even worse.

At the moment I've got an application launcher, task manager and system
tray which work together fairly happily, but I have no space to add
anything else.

[Bug 174214] Re: [Hardy] xserver-xorg can't generate configuration file

2008-03-22 Thread Owen Tuz
I can confirm this, I'm using the 32 bit release of Hardy on an AMD64 machine 
(software problems, my computer doesn't work much differently on 64-bit anyway) 
and I've had the same problem. Fixed my screen resolution but thought I should 
mention it - I'm using the Nvidia restricted driver like James but VESA gave me 
the same problem.
