[Bug 184620] Re: include supermount for removable media

2008-12-24 Thread Pastychomper
I used supermount from ~2001 to 2008 on 2 different distributions.
Coming to Ubuntu early in 2008 I found its automounting method annoying
as I had to wait a few seconds for the system to recognise a new medium,
and perhaps ask me what to do with it, before I could mount and use the
medium.  I understand Supermount isn't perfect but I believe it would be
an improvement on the current system, and more friendly to new users.

[Bug 130353] Re: kernel panic after making dialup connection to internet

2008-05-06 Thread Pastychomper
I've reproduced the bug in unpatched versions of Kubuntu 7.04 and Ubuntu
6.06.  Both used the default kernel on an i686.  I included more details
in the bug report I linked to above.

2007-10-29 Thread Pastychomper
/etc/init.d/powernowd stop didn't make any difference on my system.  I
tried disabling the daemon through sytem settings just to be sure, but
the kernel panic is still happening.

[Bug 130353] Re: kernel panic after making dialup connection to internet

2007-10-26 Thread Pastychomper
I've reproduced this bug.  I reported it separately (bug #156164)
because for some reason I couldn't find your report after searching.

I had almost identical symptoms when connecting to a flat-rate ISP (also
with an 0808 number).  The only difference is I couldn't get the output
in your attachment - my system just locks up without warning, with the
keyboard lights flashing, and doesn't log anything about it.  I'm
working around it by using an old install of Mandriva 2006, which is not
affected.  I'll try your workaround in Ubuntu and report how it goes for
me.

Which version(s) of Ubuntu are you using?

I can confirm this still happens in Kubuntu 7.04 Final, I've been using
the TerminateServer workaround mentioned above.

[Bug 156164] Kernel panic while using serial modem

2007-10-23 Thread Pastychomper
Public bug reported:

The system freezes without warning while connected to the internet, usually 
within the first 5 minutes of connecting.  The caps lock  scroll lock lights 
flash repeatedly, the screen freezes and the only way to continue is a hard 
reset.
 
I have reproduced this bug in 2 clean installs of Kubuntu 7.04, and while 
running Ubuntu 6.06 from CD (lights do not flash in 6.06).

Steps to reproduce:  Connect to a dial-up internet account using either
KPPP or Wvdial (Kubuntu 7.04), or via standard network/ppp configuration
(Ubuntu 6.06).  Launch Konqueror or Firefox.  Browse one or more
websites for up to 5 minutes.

Actual result:  In approximately 95% of attempts, system locks up as
described above.  System logs, including kernel logs, show normal
entries for the minutes before the panic, but no errors and no
unexpected entries for the exact time of the panic.  In the remaining
~5% of cases, system keeps running as usual.

It first happened within 48 hours of my changing ISP (though not
immediately after changing) so may be ISP-dependant.

Hardware is as follows: Athlon 2200+ with 256MB RAM (32MB used for on-
board Savage4), generic external modem connected to ttys0.  Kubuntu
installed on a 10GB primary partition of a 40GB HDD.

The bug appears to be independant of other software running and of the
system's uptime.  Both install CDs were checked for errors (none found)
and memtest86+ also reported no errors.
