[Bug 1610361] Re: /usr/bin/deb-systemd-helper: error: systemctl preset failed on samba-ad-dc.service: No such file or directory
I just received the same error message upgrading from 2:4.5.8+dfsg- 0ubuntu0.17.04.3 on Ubuntu 17.04: Setting up samba (2:4.5.8+dfsg-0ubuntu0.17.04.4) ... Failed to preset unit: Unit file /etc/systemd/system/samba-ad-dc.service is masked. /usr/bin/deb-systemd-helper: error: systemctl preset failed on samba-ad-dc.service: No such file or directory To someone that isn't a "samba installation process expert", but who understands plain English, this message is very clear: The installer attempted to do something but it failed and as a result an error occurred. Thus, even if Samba appears superficially to be working, it may not be. It might have caused some subtle problem that will come back to bite later. So, irrespective of exit status; if, as described above, this message does NOT actually indicate an error condition (because some other action intended to achieve the same thing succeeded), then the fact that it is displayed at all is a bug. For as long as it's there, people like me will keep spending time investigating and reporting it in places like this. It should be fixed so as not to waste everyone's time; even if that does just involve outputting a message like "About to try something as a fallback in case a previous step failed. A 'systemctl preset failed message' is expected so please ignore it." first. In post #7 Nish mentions that the installer is attempting "two ways that the package is using to ensure the specific service is masked". What the installer should really be doing is testing whether each of these attempts succeeded and only outputting an error message if both fail (and probably also, only trying the second method if the first failed). Perhaps this is technically difficult or even impossible to achieve, I don't know, but it seems that ought to be the solution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1610361 Title: /usr/bin/deb-systemd-helper: error: systemctl preset failed on samba- ad-dc.service: No such file or directory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1610361/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've got this too. The crash reporter told me so and opened up this web- page for me, asking me to comment. This doesn't appear to be a hardware problem to me. Why has my computer been running fine for years with all kernels up to an including 3.19.0.22 then? It feels more like Ubuntu is choosing not to support my hardware any more, and rather than telling me that and ensuring that I don't get given updates that would break my computer, it has chosen to simply apply updates in a way that brick it.

[Bug 1193858] [NEW] autoremove after uninstalling libgv-php5 makes system unbootable
Public bug reported: I'm reporting this bug against libgv-php5, since I believe this its dependencies may be the culprit... but I can't be 100% sure. I am running Ubuntu 13.04 64bit. After doing apt-get purge libgv-php5 to remove the PHP graphviz package, libgv-php5:amd64 (2.26.3-14ubuntu1), I started receiving prompts to do an autoremove when installing/uninstalling other packages. When I finally did this, my system crashed and became unbootable; not even into a recovery mode or with old kernels. This isn't very friendly, and whatever dependency problem caused it needs to be fixed. Here is what the apt log said about the initial autoremove attempt: Start-Date: 2013-06-22 23:31:30 Commandline: apt-get autoremove Remove: lib64readline6:i386 (6.2-9ubuntu1), libpython3-stdlib:i386 (3.3.1-0ubuntu1), libpython2.7-stdlib:i386 (2.7.4-2ubuntu3), libpython2.7:i386 (2.7.4-2ubuntu3), lib64ncurses5:i386 (5.9-10ubuntu4), libpython3.3-minimal:i386 (3.3.1-1ubuntu5), libreadline6:i386 (6.2-9ubuntu1), libc6-amd64:i386 (2.17-0ubuntu5), libpython2.7-minimal:i386 (2.7.4-2ubuntu3), lib64tinfo5:i386 (5.9-10ubuntu4), libpython3.3-stdlib:i386 (3.3.1-1ubuntu5) Error: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) End-Date: 2013-06-22 23:31:45 On investigation, it appears that this autoremove somehow broke the following links within /lib64 ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3 - ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 ld-lsb-x86-64.so.2 - ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 - ld-2.17.so thus breaking bash, ls etc...

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1097519 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1097519 Hi Adam. According to lspci, I've got a Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01).

I've just upgraded to Raring and noticed that the problem appears to be even worse now. It happens whenever I try to close or minimise Thunderbird. If I go to the ibus keyboard icon in the system tray and click on it, the drop down menu is in a state of constant flickering. I did some experiments and noticed that killing the usr/share/ibus/ui/gtk/main.py python script process doesn't help. Thunderbird keeps using 100% cpu. Also, taking it one step further and killing the ibus process also doesn't help. Thunderbird keeps using 100% cpu. I conclude from this that ibus is probably not the root cause of this problem. It's probably a Thunderbird/compiz incompatibility that is somehow causing ibus to refresh itself continuously. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1162008 Title: /usr/share/ibus/ui/gtk/main.py blocks at 100% when applications are minimised To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/1162008/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 927515] Re: Thunderbird stuck at 100% CPU
From the comments above it looks like there could be several distinct causes of Thunderbird running at 100%. In my case, I have just upgraded to Raring and the situation has got worse. It now happens pretty much every time I try to minimise or close Thunderbird. Thunderbird will just sit there for hours running at 100%. For me it's worse than that because I use ibus to switch languages and it causes ibus to refresh itself continuously too (see bug #1162008), thus making the computer practically unusable. My key observations are that: - Now I have upgraded to Raring, this 100% cpu usage is (sometimes) happening when I minimise Nautilus or Firefox too. When this happens, compiz is also near the top of top. - I have tried using the default xorg graphics drivers and the proprietary nvidia ones, and the issue is the same. - My colleagues that have similar setups to me (same graphics card, 64bit, similar processors) don't have the same problem. However, I am the only one that has an encrypted home directory. So, to me this implies that the root cause is some incompatibility between an encrypted home and compiz/Unity, which Thunderbird also happens to be a victim of too. It may just be that Thunderbird tries to write more configuration/database stuff to the (encrypted) home directory when it is minimised than Nautilus or Firefox and so it's a lot more noticeable for Thunderbird than for the others. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/927515 Title: Thunderbird stuck at 100% CPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/927515/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I made sure my system was purged of all STA stuff sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source broadcom-sta-common broadcom-sta- source and then tried to install again with the latest kernel (3.8.0-21-generic x86_64) via sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source My system didn't go into kernel panic on boot this time, but it still crashed on login. After purging the STA drivers, I decided to try the brcmsmac ones. They don't work properly. This signal strength is stuck at a very low level when I'm sat a meter from the router. So I purged them too. So, I tried to compile from source. I downloaded the STA source (64bit) from http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php I tried following the compilation instructions in the readme provided, but I encountered a few problems which I was able to resolve. First one: I got fatal error: asm/system.h: No such file or directory. I was able to correct this by changing #include asm/system.h to #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE KERNEL_VERSION(3, 4, 0) #include asm/system.h #endif in src/wl/sys/wl_linux.c (following https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics- drivers/+bug/993506/comments/6) Second one: error: unknown field ‘ndo_set_multicast_list’ specified in initialiser. I was able to correct this by changing .ndo_set_multicast_list = wl_set_multicast_list, to .ndo_set_rx_mode = wl_set_multicast_list, in src/wl/sys/wl_linux.c (following http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/compiling-broadcom- driver-947294/#post4689850). The compilation was then successful. I am still getting WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_LICENSE() in /home/laputopu/Downloads/hybrid-portsrc_x86_64-v5_100_82_112/wl.o, but it doesn't seem to matter. Finally, I had to do sudo modprobe lib80211_crypt_tkip before doing sudo insmod wl.ko and finally I have wireless back. I've attached a patch for the changes to wl_linux.c. I hope that helps someone else. ** Attachment added: Patch to broadcom drivers version 5.100.82.112 for Raring 13.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1160471/+attachment/3679968/+files/patch.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1160471 Title: BCM4313 wl driver 6.20.155.1 not working in raring, but 5.100.82.112 does To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1160471/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1160471] Re: BCM4313 wl driver 6.20.155.1 not working in raring, but 5.100.82.112 does
I have a Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller. The Broadcom Linux STA drivers were working fine under Quantal. After upgrading to Raring my machine went straight into kernel panic. On further investigation, I can avoid kernel panic on boot if I first disable wireless\wireless networking. My machine will go into kernel panic if I turn on the wireless with the the 3.8.0-19 kernel under Raring however. If I boot Raring, but use the old 3.5.0 kernel, the machine doesn't go into kernel panic, but wireless doesn't work properly. Keeps dropping the connection, sometimes the connection is very week, occasionally it just works fine for a while. If I uninstall the broadcom drivers via Software Updates then I don't get any kernel panic with either kernel - but I don't have any wireless either... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1160471 Title: BCM4313 wl driver 6.20.155.1 not working in raring, but 5.100.82.112 does To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1160471/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 927515] Re: Thunderbird stuck at 100% CPU
I have also been experiencing thunderbird sometimes consuming 100% cpu.

[Bug 1162008] [NEW] /usr/share/ibus/ui/gtk/main.py blocks at 100% when applications are minimised
Public bug reported: When I minimise applications such as thunderbird and firefox, they frequently sit in the unity launcher with the application icon and arrow flickering and my computer becomes frozen for up to 5 mins. Checking top shows me that compiz and a python script are both having a fight with python at 100%. Investigating further shows me that the python script causing the problem is /usr/share/ibus/ui/gtk/main.py This is most annoying, and I have now encountered the same problem on two separate computers running Quantal with different graphics cards. I have ibus and ibus-anthy installed on both of them. In case it is useful, I found an old thread reporting a similar problem in 2010 with Ubuntu 10.10 [1]. Then the solution appears to have been to upgrade to the latest version of ibus (1.3 at the time). I don't know if upgrading to the latest development release would solve the problem. If a launchpad PPA for a bleeding edge version of ibus was available for Quantal, I'd be happy to test it. Cheers.

[Bug 1047944] Re: compiz crashed with SIGABRT in g_assertion_message() (ibus_config_get_value)
I've been getting this crash when I log in too. Could it also be related to the fact that at the roughly the same time as this crash started occuring, thunderbird started occasionally hammering the CPU at 100% for long periods of time with the unity sidebar icon flickering? When it does so, there is often also a python script hammering another core at 100%, running this script: /usr/share/ibus/gtk/main.py. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1047944 Title: compiz crashed with SIGABRT in g_assertion_message() (ibus_config_get_value) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nux/+bug/1047944/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1045661] Re: High CPU usage
With TB 17.0, and default setup on Quantal, when thunderbird maxes out at 100% it also causes compiz to max out at 100% cpu - which freezes my other applications too. Especially on my dual-core netbook that's a real pain! I found that blocking of compiz can be avoided by turning off the animations and fading windows effects via the compizconfig settings manager however. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1045661 Title: High CPU usage To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1045661/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 702957] Re: libgv-php5 gv::render() function does not output to browser
As far as I understand, the attached code, which uses gv::renderresult (graph_handle, string format, string outdata); should render to the outdata string. Since I have not echo'd the string, the attached example should not output anything. However, this code appears to render flawlessly for the following versions of graphviz: 2.26.3-5ubuntu4 (current detfault libgv-php5 package on Ubuntu 11.10 64bit) 2.28.0 (latest stable, custom built from source) 2.29.201206013.0446 (latest development, custom built from source) which suggests that the renderresult function is not behaving as it is supposed to. It is behaving more like the gv::render function should behave. This example fails to work at all for v2.20.2 - even if the output string is echoed manually. In summary it looks like the php bindings have been broken since at least v2.20.2 and it would be good if this could be fixed because graphviz without the ability to render is pretty useless.
