[Bug 578078] Re: regular system freezes with KMS on rc410 ati video chip

2010-10-19 Thread PatrickDickey
I can confirm this on an upgrade of Ubuntu 10.10 from 10.04 (it was
originally a Kubuntu 10.04 installation, but I added the Ubuntu Desktop
also).  As far as I know, KMS is still running (as I'm not sure how to
disable it), and I have essentially the same dmesg output as the
submitter.

My lspci reveals

01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon
Xpress 200M]

for my Video Card.

Also, I keep getting this error in my dmesg (and the Display settings
fail to recognize my Acer P241W monitor):

[   57.679894] [drm:radeon_vga_detect] *ERROR* VGA-1: probed a monitor but no|in
valid EDID

[Bug 574449] Re: random flickers on ubuntu lucid desktop

2010-09-17 Thread PatrickDickey
I noticed this whenever I started a virtual machine inside of VMWare
Player.  I'm on a Toshiba Satellite A105-S2194 laptop with a 32-bit
processor and 1.5G RAM (running Kubuntu 10.04 32-bit).

I'm not entirely sure if the issue is the same, but I posted a video of
it on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILfuQYkRZx4 and will be
rebooting with the i1915.powersave=0 line in my GRUB file.  Hopefully it
will work.  I should note that my video card is an ATI Radeon x200
Mobile.

Thanks, and have a great day:)
Patrick.

[Bug 219385] Re: File filters can make file selection dialog too wide for screen

2010-05-09 Thread PatrickDickey
Would the fix be as simple as having just the type (Picture or Image
File or Video File) in the dialog, and having a tooltip pop up that
shows the various extensions available in that format?  Or would that
create a different paper cut (in that people may be used to seeing
things a certain way--especially former Windows users)?

Have a great day:)
Patrick.

[Bug 410337] Re: Log in screen is confusing, not clear what to do

2010-05-09 Thread PatrickDickey
How about simply unselecting all of the usernames, so the user knows
they have to click on the one they want.  Or possibly using the old
style with the last logged-in user as the pre-filled entry, and a
dropdown that allows the user to find their name (if it's not the pre-
filled one)?

Have a great day:)
Patrick.

[Bug 378394] Re: KDE Crashes Whenever I Edit A Text File with Sudo

2010-01-27 Thread PatrickDickey
Will they be backporting the fix to 9.04?  I have other issues that
prevent me from upgrading to 9.10 on my laptop.  The only time I use
sudo is if I'm working with a file in a restricted folder (/etc or
somewhere like that).  If I'm not supposed to do this, then please
explain how to edit a file in a restricted folder, when 1) I cannot log
in as root (because Kubuntu/Ubuntu has the root account locked by
default) and 2) I am not supposed to use sudo or kdesudo to open the
editing file.

Personally, I hate VIM and EMACS because I've never really learned how
to use them properly.  It's much easier to open the file in Kate or
KWrite and edit it there.

I'm running KDE 4.2.4 on Kubuntu 9.04.  The computer is a Toshiba
Satellite A105-S2194 laptop with 1.5 G of RAM.

Thanks, and have a great day:)
Patrick.

[Bug 508319] Re: installation of Kubuntu crashes on grub install sda

2010-01-19 Thread PatrickDickey
I should add this information also.  It only happened when I tried to
install using the Live CD.  I ended up getting Kubuntu 9.10 to install
and GRUB to work by doing two things (not sure which actually fixed it
though).

1.  I selected Install Now from the boot menu (bypassing the Live CD 
environment).
2.  I completely wiped out the existing partitions for Kubuntu, and recreated 
them.  

Previously, I was trying to reinstall Kubuntu over an existing
installation.  This is because one of the recent security updates keeps
leaving the computer un-usable (it comes up with the error about items
in fstab needing to wait on something to close, and freezes up there).

Ultimately, I went back to Kubuntu 9.04 for now, until I get a chance to
dig into it more to find out what security update bricks the computer.
*** This was after I successfully installed Kubuntu 9.10 and GRUB after
having filed this bug report.

Have a great day:)
Patrick.

2010-01-16 Thread PatrickDickey
I wasn't able to attach both files to the original submission. Attached
is the syslog file.

Also, I have previously installed Kubuntu on this computer.  This was a
reinstallation.  I may have chosen the wrong option for GRUB (I chose
sda).

Like Thomas, I was concerned but I followed their instructions and
disabled the driver.  After restarting, I reactivated the driver that
Ubunut offered me.  Everything seems to be running alright.

 (from my dmesg results)

As far as I know, I have an ATI 9550 AGP video card.  So, it recognizes
that card.  I'm not entirely sure where to find the exact maufacturer
and model of the card though, since it's not showing in dmesg anywhere.

If there's anything else that I can (or need to) provide, let me know.
Have a great day:)
Patrick.
