[Bug 1784232] Re: Grub-install failed because of no EFI mounted, but msinfo32 indicates an older BIOS

2018-07-31 Thread Per Heldal
Revised description: The cause is that the partition intendeed for EFI
had been given an incorrect tag and thus was not mounted. The problem
would have been uncovered if the installation would refuse to proceed
without EFI-partion when one is required. (duplicate)

[Bug 1565060] Re: defaults file is ignored

2017-02-18 Thread Per Heldal
This bug affects among others anyone with intermittent or permanent ipv6
routing problems. Most documented workarounds for ipv6-problems in dual-
stack configurations hint at disabling ipv6 in /etc/default/bind9, but
that won't work when the file is ignored when systemd is in control of
the processes. My suggestion is thus to edit the service-file for bind9
to include the defaults-file, and thus maintain backward compatibility
with most of the published documentation. The following service-section
in /lib/systemd/system/bind9.service seems to do the job:

[Service]
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/bind9
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/named -f $OPTIONS
ExecReload=/usr/sbin/rndc reload
ExecStop=/usr/sbin/rndc stop

[Bug 1607535] Re: ttf-mscorefonts-installer 3.4+nmu1ubuntu2 fails to install core fonts and should be updated to version 3.6 from Debian

2016-12-07 Thread Per Heldal
Solutions to this problem is to either use a more capable HTTP-client
for download to cope with Sourceforge's ads and redirections, or to host
the fonts elsewhere. Workarounds by directing the installer to
particular mirrors etc may work for a while, and/or from some places,
but aren't likely to be reliable in the long term. Less complex servers
should be preferred for automated downloads.

[Bug 1608753] Re: Cannot build nvidia driver via dkms because compiler doesn't match kernel

2016-08-05 Thread Per Heldal
When examining repos it seems like the inconsistency was introduced in
xenial-updates where packages in the build toolchain was bumped from
5.3.1 to 5.4.0 while the supplied kernel still is built with GCC 5.3.1
and the dependecy-packages that provide symlinks to tool-binaries also
remain at version 5.3.1

Package  xenial xenial-security xenial-updates

gcc  4:5.3.1-1ubuntu1   
gcc-55.3.1-14ubuntu25.3.1-14ubuntu2.1   5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.1  
 

The issue of inconsistent versions relates to a number of packages in
the chain of build-tools (binaries and libraries) tagged with versions
5.3.1 and/or 5.4.0. DKMS is not to blame.

2016-08-04 Thread Per Heldal
It's not just gcc that has mismatching versions. It's the whole
toolchain.

The installed gcc package (according to dpkg) has version
4:5.3.1-1ubuntu1 while the /usr/bin/gcc symlink contained within is
pointing to gcc-5.4.0. There is no trace of 5.3.1 binaries on the
system, nor are there any available from the repos.

The bug will affect anyone who try to compile and/or link any kernel
modules.

[Bug 680861] [NEW] pulseaudio goes into poll-read loop when removing usb device

2010-11-24 Thread Per Heldal
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pulseaudio

I'm testing with 2 USB sound devices. One works, one doesn't.

Using a Cakewalk (Roland) UA-25EX (2 audio channels in/out + midi
in/out) works fine. The device may be connected, removed and reconnected
at any time wouthout problems.

A Digitech RP1000 guitar processor (2 audio channels in/out + midi
in/out) sends pulseaudio into an endless loop when it is disconnected or
powered off. It appears to be an unhandled ENODEV as repeated in strace:

[pid 21874] ppoll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=56, events=POLLIN}, {fd=55, 
events=POLLIN}, {fd=7, events=POLLIN}, {fd=58, events=POLLIN}, {fd=64, 
events=POLLIN}, {fd=67, events=POLLIN}, {fd=19, events=POLLIN}, {fd=57, 
events=POLLIN}, {fd=18, events=POLLIN}, {fd=25, events=POLLIN}, {fd=51,

events=POLLIN}, {fd=14, events=POLLIN}, {fd=17, events=POLLIN}, ...], 37, {5, 
749931000}, NULL, 8) = 1 ([{fd=58, revents=POLLERR}], left {5, 749924521})

[pid 21874] clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {12993, 777676225}) = 0
... then back to poll() and it keeps looping trying to read off the same fd 
(58).

Output from pulseaudio (--log-level=debug) from pulseaudio starting when
the RP1000 gets connected is attached. There is only one line of info
written after the cable is pulled (or turned off) before pulseaudio
spins off in the loop.

2010-05-27 Thread Per Heldal
The crash in rhythmbox when connecting to mms streams through libmms is
an old one. It usually happens when switching to a mms:// source from
listening to something else (e.g. an mp3 file). I've seen exactly the
same behaviour in every release over the last 3-4 years. Switching from
listening to a mp3 file to a mms:// source will cause a crash almost
every time. I'm not sure if the problem lies in inappropriate data
initialisation by rhythmbox, or a bug in libmms.  A BT from the crashing

[Bug 417757] Re: [karmic regression] all network apps / browsers suffer from multi-second delays by default due to IPv6 DNS lookups

2009-11-09 Thread Per Heldal
Slight update to #142.

I may have gotten protocol orders wrong in my analysis, or the dns-
lookup-mechanism has been altered in the last libc update. The net
result however, is still that every attempt by an application to connect
to a v4-only host is preceded by a dns-request that result in a lost
nxdomain response.  Example: capturing DNS packets while connecting to a
webserver with no v6-support reveal the following order of DNS queries
and responses:

1. The client searches for an  record. The DNS-server returns SOA
with noerror.

2. The client tries the local variant of the  record. The DNS-server
returns NXDOMAIN which is lost in the faulty DNS-forwarder.

3. After timeout (20sec) the client goes looking for an A-record and
succeeds.

Wouldn't it be preferable to prioritise differently? The client could
send concurrent requests for A and , and drop the attempt on the
local variant of  when it gets one or more valid a-records.

[Bug 417757] Re: [karmic regression] all network apps / browsers suffer from multi-second delays by default due to IPv6 DNS lookups

2009-11-08 Thread Per Heldal
This is as Jeroen and others have pointed out repeatedly, primarily an
issue with broken resolvers/forwarders often part of cheap
broadband/wlan routers. I just want to repeat that this isn't specific
to IPv6, and emphasise that changes in karmic have made things worse.

Karmic always first tries to append the local/search-domain to requests.
That is an important change from previous versions where search-domains
are appended only when the client application only specifies the host-
part.

In the last couple weeks I've come across number of different broadband
CPE's (multiple brands) which have a DNS-forwarder that fails to forward
nxdomain responses to the clients. In the past these clients would only
experience delays for non-existent hosts. After upgrading to karmic they
get a 20sec delay for every request. I.e. the user types ubuntu.com in
the browser, karmic first tries ubuntu.com.searchdomain and sits
waiting as the nxdomain-response is lost.

2009-11-03 Thread Per Heldal
Another issue in addition to ipv6 is how the resolver-lib handles search
domains. I found I could avoid the delay by removing the domain and
search statements from /etc/resolv.conf. In this particular case
there's a broadband-router which put either the providers domains or a
configured local alternative in the DHCP-response. There's no way to
make it drop the options altogether when it's not used properly. Thus a
solution (in addition to a local caching resolver etc described above)
is to remove these options (domain-name and domain-search) from the list
of options the dhcp-client (/etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf) asks for. This
problem is easily identified as described in #82 above.

2009-11-03 Thread Per Heldal
Wrt #84, is it a correct observation that the resolver-library in karmic
always tries to add search-domains to the queried string even when the
original query from the application is for a FQDN?  The first DNS-
request from a karmic client looking for www.google.com in a browser
is for www.google.com.localdomain  when domain or search is
specified in /etc/resolv.conf. I thought the search-strings only were
appended when there was no domain-part specified, and/or if there was no
response/hit on the first request.

2009-11-03 Thread Per Heldal
The reason for the delay described in #84 and #85 seems to be a
firmware-bug in a wlan router (D-Link DIR-655). It doesn't seem to pass
NXDOMAIN-responses to the clients when it is set up to relay requests.
The upstream servers respond immediately with NXDOMAIN when queried
directly. However, this problem wasn't discovered before so the
behaviour of the client resolver has obviously changed in karmic.

[Bug 396928] Re: Firefox 3.5 identifies as Shiretoko

2009-08-10 Thread Per Heldal
What the application is called in GUI-elements doesn't really matter all
that much. It does after all simplify package-management slightly when
the decision has been made not to make it a default upgrade on old
distributions.

That the browser identifies itself as Shiretoko to websites is however a
problem. It seem to be a string that is carried over in the config for
users who already used a beta and then upgraded to final later. 3.5.x
final should ideally update this during its first startup along with the
check for add-on compatibility etc.  Users do however have the ability
to change it later by opening about:config in the location bar, search
for general.useragent.extra.firefox and change it from
Shiretoko/3.5.x to Firefox/3.5.x. That does seem to fix the problems
I've had with browser compatibility on some sites. I don't know whether
there are sites that rely on being able to identify Shiretoko though.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/345627

Not so sure it's a duplicate. I hear no scratching sounds which are the
main complaint in 337429, yet have major problems with audio/video sync.
I suspect it is related to the variable audio latency introduced with
pulseaudio 0.9.14 (and the current 0.9.15). Pulseaudio 0.9.10 which was
used in intrepid didn't have this problem.  Wrt duplicates look at

[Bug 347376] Re: [jaunty] Choppy video playback and high CPU usage when watching online video

2009-06-09 Thread Per Heldal
To me it looks like video and audio keeps having sync issues with any
player when pulseaudio is involved (totem, mplayer, mythtv, flashplugin,
vlc, ffplay).

The results are better for players that use gstreamer with pulse
disabled (kill daemon and disable autospawn). Ditto for mplayer with
direct ALSA output. Sending sound through jackd also works fine for
players that support it.

It looks like this is a problem which has been introduced somewhere
between pulseaudio 0.9.10 (intrepid) and 0.9.14 (jaunty).  At some point
I tried 0.9.14 with intrepid, but reverted to 0.9.10 because of this
problem. I've tried pulseaudio 0.9.15 with both intrepid and jaunty, and
that makes the problem even worse. A kernel with CONFIG_HZ_1000=y as
recommended by pulse developers show some improvement, but doesn't
completely solve the problem.

Debugging with mythtv (svn trunk) indicate that audio latency varies a
lot (40-200ms) when pulseaudio 0.9.14/15 is used, but remains fairly
constant (~40ms) with pulseaudio 0.9.10. Could this be the cause? These
numbers are from a E6600 system with an ASUS Xonar DX soundcard
(snd_virtuoso). Numbers differ slightly with other soundcards, but the
symptoms are the same.

[Bug 99508] Re: Titlebar incorrectly drawn with geforce 5/6/7, compiz and human-theme

2008-11-15 Thread Per Heldal
As previously described, 180.06 did sole this problem for me. It is
however a beta so don't take that statement as a recommendation for
general use. Stability seems somewhat questionable.

However, after 180.06 solved this particular problem for me, but didn't
appear stable I decided to try 177.82 again and either drop compiz
altogether or use the emerald decorator ... Big surprise, window frames
now works with this version too. Stability still wasn't good though, so
I opted for another downgrade - to 177.80 - and now the window borders
look fine here too with /usr/bin/compiz-decorator.

I'm confused! Back where I started, running the software version that
once didn't work, but now it does. The only possibility that I can think
of is if there was something missing from the original 177.80 install
that has been included with upgrades and not been removed again during
downgrade.

Confirm.

I see pinkish shadows around windows and menus on a NV-8800GTS. There
are other issues which have been blamed on composite handling in the
current driver too, like a delay that is introduced in the handling of
several gtk-widgets on only some of the displays in a multi-head config.
Maybe it's still time for an upgrade to a more recent driver.

It seems to be something in the packaging that introduce this problem.
The same version from nvidia works just fine.

I just removed nvidia-glx-new, nvidia-kernel-common and dependencies
(incl all accumulated restricted-modules), then booted single-user and
compiled and installed the original 169.12 driver and resumed normal
boot.  xorg.conf has not been touched, but 3D-shadows are now normal.
(it doesn't fix the dual-head delay though).

[Bug 211893] Re: Bluetooth handsfree does not work and floods syslog

2008-04-12 Thread Per Heldal
To be a bit more specific: I'm now running a kernel built from the
ubuntu.com git repository, with the specified patch applied. From there
I've built and installed binary-generic.

The BT-handsfree-kit works (kind of) with this kernel.

While running with this kernel I've seen bt-audio once end up in a weird
state where it repeats the following to syslog:

Apr 12 15:23:57 audio[14838]: Audio API: received BT_STREAMSTART_REQ
Apr 12 15:23:57 audio[14838]: Audio API: sending BT_STREAMSTART_REQ

When this happened mplayer reported the following while trying to open
the bt-device:

[AO_ALSA] pcm prepare error: Invalid argument
[AO_ALSA] Write error: Bad file descriptor
[AO_ALSA] Trying to reset soundcard.
[AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm_bluetooth.c:1481:(audioservice_expect) Bogus message 
BT_STREAMSTART_REQ received while BT_STREAMSTART_RSP was expected

---

Sound tends to break up regardless of the distance between the devices,
so I've tried to install the most recent releases from bluez.org (bluez-
libs-3.30, bluez-utils-3.30, bluez-firmware-1.2, bluez-hcidump-1.41,
bluez-gnome-0.26). Unfortunately that makes no difference to sound
quality. (Btw; nor is there yet anything that can help with the
previously mentioned pairing issue for headsets). The new packages are
built and installed on-top of the standard files from hardy to avoid
loosing other bt-tools through dependencies (yes I'm aware of the
consequences;). The only significant difference except bug-fixes seem to
be that services now are plugins in the form of shared-libs and not
separate processes as they used to be.

Next is to check for other kernel-patches. Now I wonder where the actual
version of bluez-code in the current hardy-kernel comes from. It doesn't
seem to match vanilla 2.6.24 from kernel.org, nor does it match the
latest patches from bluez.org. It seems to be something in the middle.

---

I think BT-audio is going to be hard to solve in hardy for several
reasons:

- bluez since release 3.26 (the one in hardy) is in a bit of a limbo.
This is the first of the 3.x releases that are describes as part of a
transition to new architecture in bluez 4.0

- kernel modules for alsa/bluez integration that supposedly are obsolete
as of bluez 3.26 are still included in hardy

- then there is the incomplete alsa/pulseaudio transition.

Half-baked is probably an appropriate description.

Grabbed the kernel-source from git, applied the BT patch
(http://lkml.org/lkml/diff/2008/2/25/530/1) and built new packages. My
BT-2.0 headset works with this new kernel. The sound gets choppy after a
few seconds, but there are still more options to explore in the BT-audio
config that may change that. There are no more hci_scodata_packet
messages is the logs, and everything else on BT still works. It remains
to see if anything else could be affected, but it looks good so far.

2008-04-11 Thread Per Heldal
@Brian Murray : bug 198494 does indeed cover the pairing issue
mentioned, but that's the simple bit.

@MsTiFtS : bug 39414 is similar, but concerns a USB-BT adapter. In this
case the adapter works with multiple devices (keyboard, mouse and
several phones using obex-transfers and HID). Only BT-audio seems to
cause the problem in this case.

Unfortunately my BT-1.2 headset has died so I can't test that one any
more. What I've dug out so far pointed to the kernel failing to fall
back from eSCO (BT-2.x) to SCO (BT-1.x). I have however tested a BT 2.0
headset (Jabra BT5010) with the same result, so so much for that theory.
What remains to be tested is the kernel-patch that others on the bluez-
users-list have reported to work.

2008-04-05 Thread Per Heldal
This relates to a similar bug in gutsy and before, but both bluez and
the kernel has changed since so the fixes for those may not apply
anymore.

In short this seems to relate to missing or incomplete support for eSCO
in the kernel that makes most, if not all, BT=1.2 headsets fail.

There's a number of patches listed to support this in the kernel listed
at http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_24#head-
efad198ce9f2c533fcc541c306e566fc3a42af91  It seems these are included in
the current kernel-source (2.6.24-15).

In addition there is a small patch to make it work listed in 
http://lkml.org/lkml/diff/2008/2/25/530/1 
This has been reported to work with 2.6.24 
(http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bluez.user/13682).

[Bug 211893] [NEW] Bluetooth handsfree does not work and floods syslog

2008-04-04 Thread Per Heldal
Public bug reported:

[I'm not sure is this big relates to bluez or alsa or something else .
It concerns hardy beta]

First, to get pairing to work I have to use parts of the suggested
python-script from the bluez-wiki. To make the PC visible and
connectable prior to setting the headset in pairing mode is not enough
to trigger the pairing process.

From there it appears normal in the log when the headset is turned on:

With audio sent to the device there is no sound, but syslog is flooded:
mplayer -ao alsa:device=headset /usr/share/sounds/shutdown1.wav

The repeaded log-entry contains:
Apr  4 13:39:34 obelix kernel: [  460.424359] hci_scodata_packet: hci0 SCO 
packet for unknown connection handle 46

Output to syslog continues after the mplayer process is terminated. It
does not stop until the bt-headset is turned off and gets de-registered
from the bt service.

The USB dongle in use works fine with other services (obex,hid etc)

Further details attached.

[Bug 183969] Re: xserver-xorg-core update breaks java wxwidgets apps

The problem with tvtime reported earlier is still there with the last
version. The picture (window or fullscreen) sometimes gets very dark
(and distorted when corrected with brightness/contrast settings). There
are no errors reported when tvtime is run from the command-line.
Besides, a check with vlc confirms that it also shows a distorted
picture. Reload of driver-modules for the capture hardware makes no
change. The only fix is to restart the xserver. The problem doesn't
appear quite as frequently with the latest xserver (Version: 2:1.3.0.0
.dfsg-12ubuntu8.3), but it eventually gets in the weird state after a
day or two. This points to some form of buffer corruption in a video-

2008-01-18 Thread Per Heldal
Upgrade to  xserver-xorg-core version 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-12ubuntu8.1 causes
numerous problems:

wxwidget-based applications don't work (vlc etc)

tvtime get in a weird state with brightness/contrast after a while

Various other intermittent problems and graphics anomalies (possible
memory buffer corruption).

All observed problems disappear after downgrade to the previous version
of the package.

[Bug 158045] Re: the distribution should use iwl3945 instead of ipw3945 by default

2007-12-03 Thread Per Heldal
Not only should iwl3945 be used instead of ipw3945, but Gutsy also needs
an upgrade to new versions of the iwl3945 and related drivers. The
current driver causes occasional system freezes. These may, at least in
part, be related to the use of software encryption in the current
driver. It seems slightly better with hardware encryption enabled.

Swap driver by:

1. Prevent the system from loading the old driver through blacklisting. Add the 
following line to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist:
   blacklist ipw3945

2. Force load of the iwl3945 driver by adding it to /etc/modules. I.e.
add a line in the file with the word iwl3945.

Then reboot.

--

Hardware encryption can be enabled by creating a file /etc/modprobe.d/iwl3945 
containing the following line of text:
  options iwl3945 hwcrypto=1

Then reboot.

[Bug 141396] Re: ipw3945 hangs intermittently on Thinkpad T61

2007-12-03 Thread Per Heldal
Hardware encryption seems to improve stability for the iwl3945 module.

put
options iwl3945 hwcrypto=1
in a file in /etc/modutils.d (ex create a file called iwl3945)

With default software-crypto my test-computer would hang randomly after
transmitting anywhere between a few MB up to 1 or 2 GB. With hardware-
crypto enabled I just completed a test-transfer of 40GB+

2007-12-03 Thread Per Heldal
Funny it's not been mentioned yet in this thread, but the iwlwifi
drivers in gutsy are rather old. Changelogs from intellinuxwireless.org
describe heaps of serious bugs that have been squashed recently. Those
fixes should IMHO make it into the next revision of the linux-ubuntu-
modules package. There's also a lot of annoying bugs in gutsy's current
kernel, so maybe there's a hope for an updated kernel and modules
shortly.

2007-12-02 Thread Per Heldal
I've got the same with 7.10 on an Acer Aspire. Nothing further to
add,except confirming that:

- I didn't notice any such problem on 7.04.

- Both iwl3945 and ipw3945 show the same behaviour.

[Bug 48499] Re: hald blocks ide bus if cdrom on same bus with harddisk(was:Extremly slow IO performance with dapper, high wa% on Dell Inspiron 8200)

2007-07-22 Thread Per Heldal
Anco: the rules I added to /usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/10osvendor/10
-ide-drives.fdi were those that were removed by an earlier patch found
in http://launchpadlibrarian.net/5907427/hal-fix-remove_blacklisted_HL-
DT-STCD-RW.txt

Apply the reverse of that patch, or if you don't know patch simply add
the lines starting with  '-' (without the '-' of course - and use the
lines before and after the patched section to find the right spot in the
file). Then restart hald (or reboot) to activate the change.

[Bug 98641] Re: [nvidia-glx-new] NVidia driver missing libwfb

2007-07-16 Thread Per Heldal
Is there a good reason why the solution hasn't yet made its way into
feisty? It appears to be a simple omission in packaging as the missing
libwfb.so is readily supplied by nvidia. The only reasonable alternative
would be to communicate clearly to the ubuntu community that 8800 gpus
are not supported by feisty which seem a bit silly considering the
simplicity of the solution.

[Bug 107831] Re: Feisty don't work with nVidia GeForce 8800 GTS and 8800 GTX

2007-05-31 Thread Per Heldal
In my case I found that the 8800gts was not working due to a missing
x-server module as reported in the Xorg.0.log. The required file is
included with Nvidia's driver-package, but there's no trace of
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so*  in any ubuntu-packages. I.e. it seems
to be a build/packaging issue, and that the file simply should be
included in the nvidia-glx-new package. The X-server works, with eye-
candy and all, using the driver in nvidia-glx-new if the missing file
manually extracted from nvidia's package and copied into
/usr/lib/xorg/modules.

[Bug 48499] Re: hald blocks ide bus if cdrom on same bus with harddisk(was:Extremly slow IO performance with dapper, high wa% on Dell Inspiron 8200)

2007-01-27 Thread Per Heldal
This update adds information I have previously reported in a thread on
ubuntuforums.org:

hald on edgy still behaves badly on an Inspiron 8200 here. I've found
that it does *not* work to stop hald from polling the CD-drive and stop
blocking the IDE-channel by adding filters in /etc/hal. It does however
work if I add the rule in /usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/10osvendor/10-ide-
drives.fdi. I haven't yet examined the source for hald to figure out why
blacklisting the device through config-files in /etc doesn't have the
same effect as changing the vendor-file in /usr/share/hal.

The problem was introduced through a CVS update in october 2005. A copy
of the diff is attached. Reversing this diff and then restart hald
solves the problem. The system will not detect changes to the CD-drive
with the blacklist entry in place, but having to mount manually is much
preferred over crippled IDE performance.
