Re: [Bug 741930] Re: [natty] nvidia binary packages for older cards - dependencies not met
I'd say a simpler but still useful thing would be to make sure that if some hardware isn't compatible at the time of release because a proprietary driver is required (and that's the situation here - Unity doesn't work on Nouveau), then a big, red note of that should be made in the release notes prompt encouraging for upgrade, so that people can wait until Nvidia or any other vendor provides updated driver. Alternatively, the upgrading script should warn user about such incompatibilities at the start of the process, allowing them to easily cancel.

May I just add - as mentioned in one of my posts above, the commit just preceding the one I bisected this bug to may be related, as on the system where this bug occurs there are some very short (quarter to half a second?) freezes in cases when this bug occurs, instead of a hard freeze, which disappear when that commit is removed.

Looks like the effects of apt being interrupted while it was doing something before. It shouldn't matter for kernel compilation, but you may want to uninstall and reinstall VirtualBox at some point (which should fix the error). You do need the build-dep linux though, so if the error occured before the installation finished, then there's a (very small) chance that you can get some really weird errors when you attempt to compile the kernel if you don't fix it.

Ordinarily watermark checks are based on the vmstat NR_FREE_PAGES as it is cheaper than scanning a number of lists. To avoid synchronization overhead, counter deltas are maintained on a per-cpu basis and drained both periodically and when the delta is above a threshold. On large CPU systems, the difference between the estimated and real value of NR_FREE_PAGES can be very high. If NR_FREE_PAGES is much higher than number of real free page in buddy, the VM can allocate pages below min watermark, at worst reducing the real number of pages to zero. Even if the OOM killer kills some victim for freeing memory, it may not free memory if the exit path requires a new page resulting in livelock. This patch introduces a zone_page_state_snapshot() function (courtesy of Christoph) that takes a slightly more accurate view of an arbitrary vmstat counter. It is used to read NR_FREE_PAGES while kswapd is awake to avoid the watermark being accidentally broken. The estimate is not perfect and may result in cache line bounces but is expected to be lighter than the IPI calls necessary to continually drain the per-cpu counters while kswapd is awake.

[Bug 301958] Re: no working driver for sis 671/771 video cards
I've written to maintainer of the satux driver, and he said that their driver is based on code from here : http://www.linuxconsulting.ro/xorg- drivers/ with some patches. He promised to publish them on his blog - but haven't done this yet, apparently. -- no working driver for sis 671/771 video cards https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301958 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 207409] Re: [HARDY] xserver-xorg does not auto-configure correctly
hmmm... Stupid question - you are running it from GUI, not console?? You may also try to run dexconf first, just to reset xorg.conf to whatever it thinks is default and then try again. (it looks like displayconfig-gtk couldn't get screen size - I'd report this as a separate bug. It's still a package in Hardy (and works fine for me), so it can be reported :-). -- [HARDY] xserver-xorg does not auto-configure correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207409 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 65664] Re: Cannot subscribe to exchange shared folders / calender in edgy
hmmm, what I did now is just setting the machine domain (there is an option in the administration menu in Ubuntu to do this) to be the same as the full domain name of windows - and now I have removed the /etc/hosts entries and for me it's still working. lilbudda - I never tried using Evo with external access exchange, but I think it wouldn't work (as it tries to talk to the domain controller to get GAL) -- I need to check it in evolution sources to verify that, but if that's the case, then it is imho a different bug than this. weierj - try to use nslookup on windows to see what domain windows *thinks* exchange is in (e.g. nslookup exchangefrontend) and use it as your ubuntu domain (I rarely see windows domains that use domain.org domain - more often It's domain.local). or try running ipconfig /all and see what is the domain name that windows uses.

[Bug 207409] Re: [HARDY] xserver-xorg does not auto-configure correctly
Am I wrong in thinking that dexconf should generate xorg.conf which would use vesa and 800x600 resolution, which should always work, and be a good starting point? -- [HARDY] xserver-xorg does not auto-configure correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207409 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 65664] Re: Cannot subscribe to exchange shared folders / calender in edgy
Hi, I observe exactly the same symptoms - when I try subscribing to another person folder, I cannot access it because of generic error. I have full mailbox rights to that other mailbox, so I don't have problems accessing it as http://exchange_server/exchange/other-mailbox using my own login credentials. I would be very happy to provide more info on this, only if you point me to what you may need :-) P. -- Cannot subscribe to exchange shared folders / calender in edgy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/65664 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 65664] Re: Cannot subscribe to exchange shared folders / calender in edgy
Ok, I found a solution - this may be silly, but works. I have added ip addresses and host names of: - exchange OWA server - primary DC - secondary DC (last two for compatibility with GAL). to /etc/hosts . I've done two entries for each of them ( one with the sole host name, the other one as a fully qualified windows domain name, eg. hostname.domainname.local ) and now it works flawlessly. I think this proves that this is not bug in Exchange handling, but rather dns server requests. I've started using hostname in stead of ipaddress for OWA server. After all this, it miraculously started to work :-). -- Cannot subscribe to exchange shared folders / calender in edgy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/65664 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
