[Bug 157988] no official Swedish time server mentioned in list of available time servers in "settings for time and date" setup
Public bug reported: this report is (probably) for either the ntp or the ntpdate package (since those are the only two ntp related packages installed on my system). this problem has been around for several iterations of ubuntu and is still present in the Gutsy incarnation. when using "settings for time and date" (Swedish: "Inställningar för tid och datum") setup in the control panel. There is only one Swedish entry present, and any single one of our official servers. The official servers are well funded as our government firmly believes that it is a fundamental part of a modern it infrastructure and a modern society. The Swedish government is running, a network of time servers strategically placed at larger network nodes in our country, so it would make very much sense for any Swedish user to connect to the closest (network wise) server of those. In Stockholm we have: ntp1.sth.netnod.se ntp2.sth.netnod.se In Gothenburg: ntp1.gbg.netnod.se ntp2.gbg.netnod.se Malmö: ntp1.mmo.netnod.se ntp2.mmo.netnod.se For those who are anxious to get right to the source of the official Swedish time, they can connect to Statens Provnings och Forsknings- institut (SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden). They are running the official Swedish time keeping facilities in Borås. ntp1.sp.se ntp2.sp.se ntp3.sp.se With the above mentioned list, all Swedish (and probably many foreign users) would be able to connect to a set of well managed stratum 1 servers. time1.stupi.se is of course Swedish but it is run by a private company, that (at least) have had problems with one of the larger Swedish ISP:s which made them less than eager to help requests from that ISP. Therefore it is important to provide alternatives that can be used by all Swedish citizens with good result. For historical reasons, it may still make sense to keep the server at stupi.se, they where in fact first with providing this kind of service in Sweden and they have invested both time and money in this for years so they ought to get credit for their efforts. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- no official Swedish time server mentioned in list of available time servers in "settings for time and date" setup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157988 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

I have a similar problem that has buggered me for the last few weeks which I have now investigated a little bit more: ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop, and xubuntu-desktop all depends on slocate. ubuntu-minimal is depending on findutils. as a normal user probably likes to have one of the above mentioned desktop packages installed, they are flagged for slocate regardless of the fact that ubuntu-minimal, which is required to make a bootable system in a clean ubuntu fashion, rather uses findutils.

As far as the description goes, this is probably not a bug. Different operating systems, video adapters, and video drivers all comes with their unique set of timing caracteristics.

[Bug 140010] cursor disappears frequently in latest Gutsy build
Public bug reported: after doing the latest upgrade (to v 5.0.30 of ltsp-client) I have been forced to reboot my primary workstation (a hp 5x00 running ltsp) due to the fact that when I leave the terminal the cursor disappears without comming back when I start moving about with the mouse. Since I am running usb keyboard and mice through a kvm- switch I have observed that the problem seems easier to reproduce if I switch to another computer long enough for the screen saver to kick in (blank screen, nothing fancy) and then switch back to the ltsp client box. But 2 - 3 times the cursor has gone missing without any kvm activity at all. If there anything in particular that you need to better find the problem, please do not hesitate to ask me.

As you might have already seen from my eager writings on defect #138089, I do use "ltsp-build-client" from a clean startingpoint.

[Bug 37350] Re: Pressing power button unlocks locked screensaver
still, if somebody for administrative reasons, needs to shut down a computer, reasons ranging from planned power interruptions to office relocations, it still is nice being able to let somebody shut down the computer in an orderly fashion. Hence, the problem was not that a shutdown option was presented when pressing the power button, the problem was that flicking the power switch could give somebody full access to the locked desktop. It may be that I grew up when power buttons actually had something to do with the power supply of the device at hand, but Ubuntu is for "ordinary people" and many such people still think that the reason for the power switch is switching the power in a similar way as their light switch is working. To cater for this conservative mindset, a good workaround would be skipping the questions about if logout etc and instead present a simple shutdown yes/no question. OK, that adds complexity compared to silently bring the machine to a halt, but it may still save some trouble when the button is pressed by accident. -- Pressing power button unlocks locked screensaver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/37350 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 65010] Re: Xubuntu desktop manager not LTSP aware
Hi Jani,
no I am not running kiosk mode, I am running a small office.
But since I found this bug report while looking for something
else I figured that somebody might be interested in some information 8-)
Anyway, when running either gnome or kde, without any
special config, they both figure out that they are running
out of a thin client and refuses to provide options that could
close down the server for the whole network. With xubuntu
it is a different game, any user can shut down the server.
Since we do not have anybody evil (or stupid) enough to
shut down our server in a bad way around my place that
is not a problem for me, but still it irritates me a little bit
every time I log out, to have this abundance of options to
chose from when I only want to log out.
A slightly unrelated idea for a new feature is having shutdown
and reboot buttons that works on the client after you log out.
Now you will have to wait for the log out to be accomplished
before you can switch of your terminal.
So I did not write my previous message because of
personal problems but rather because that Jérôme
asked for some more input.
BTW, since xfce seems to be quite easy to configure,
I doubt it would be a great trouble for a manager of
a kiosk setup to disable the "evil" logout options.
Though I have not tried setting up this particular thing
so I may be wrong, at least there are settings in
the control panel ("sessions and startup") for this
purpose and there should be config files for the
same features as well.
Best,
r.r.

Public bug reported: When I run ltsp-build-client or ltsp-update-image, both fails if the nbdrootd line for port 2000 is not removed. This is not a big showstopper for me since quick jab with emacs will help me around it, but I can imagine teachers without much unix experience not knowing anything about neither inetd or how to configure the same. And yes, I am running the plain vanilla inetd that comes standard with *buntu, no xinetd or anything fancy. Well according to /etc/init.d it is actually from openbsd. It may be a good thing updating inetd, but beware, when running thin clients we do expect user to have complex needs and many may not be served well with the stock inetd package and I would rather see that the tools create images and things like the name implies rather then messing with config files that should be left to the system manager to handle.

Well, to be able to use the startx option I actually have to edit my lts.conf, otherwise I would never have come to the point where the starting of X.org fails because there is no valid configuration.

Hence it is most likely that the user who wants his Swedish/Finnish keyboard autodetected also is speaking Swedish rather than Finnish. >From a technical perspective it would not only make sense but also make life easier if we merged the two layouts into one and explained the reason for the end user whenever the keyboard layout issue is configured or displayed. -- Installer detects Finnish keyboard instead of Swedish https://launchpad.net/bugs/35611 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Some Ubuntu applications convert well (Open Office.Org, and some usually do not, like Abi Word). Unfortunately this is not a keyboard problem. Otherwise it would be an easy fix changing the layout file. Unfortunately there are many applications to be tested for character encoding awareness and conversion. Regarding the comment above on the Finnish layout: the keyboards shipped to both Sweden and Finnland do share the exact same physical layout and when using Windows, the keyboard driver works the same as well. Unfortunately, Linux distros has not usually picked this up and they comonly provide 2 different layouts for, respectively, Finnland and Sweden where the later variant usually do not support any easy way for entering common UNIX control characters like | and \ which makes life at the command prompt painfull when doing things in Swedish. -- Keyboard layout problems https://launchpad.net/bugs/15104 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Well physically, Swedish and Finnish keyboards are exactly the same. Many vendors do label their keyboards for the Swedish market as "Swe/Fi", "Swedish/Finnish" or something similar.

With earlier versions (and some specific options in lts.conf) somtimes the desktop got stuck on either logging on or out. But then replugging the keyboard and mouse solved the problem. Then the permanent fix was hacking the lts.conf. This new problem has appeared after the upgrade to Edgy.

But since Ubuntu is labeled "for human beings" I tried being human yesterday (when installing edgy eft on the third machine using edgy in my home) and chosed Swedish, and it still does not work properly. On Swedish keyboards (and Finnish since they are the same), the alt key on the right side of the space-bar is labeled "Alt Gr" and is used to get "special characters" like: < > | Unfortunately, the Swedish layout is lacking this facility which renders it useless when interacting with a comman prompt, or for doing programming in most programming languages.

Since this baby is a mac using a G3 Power PC, I am using a PPC edition of UBUNTU, no doubt about that. 1. put CD in tray 2. push C key and start system 3. the mac then tries to load something from the CD and continues to spin the drive for 20-30 seconds after that the system stops, no text, no image - just a blank screen. If I instead chose to boot into Open Firmware and tries to boot from the CD manually, the system dies the same way as when using the C-key. I did not report this problem at first because I thought that this 8-9 year old cd-drive is not so compatible with modern CD-R media which is a common problem with older drives. But now Canonical has been as kind as to provide me with factory made CD:s which unfortunately shows the same problem. With the old factory made Warty CD:s the system started nicely, but something went wrong during the installation and the system died on the first boot from the hard disk. But at that time at least the CD did boot nicely into the setup program. Unfortunately, my four year old son had a go on the old CD which is no longer operational so I can not use that if you want me to test something with that one. I can download a warty .iso if you want me to. Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions or make me suggestions on how to solve this problem. I am also willing to try different procedures and softwares and report back if that can help anyone better figure out how to fix this problem. There are loads of cute imac:s with a much higher potential than beeing only used for land-fills :-) /rolle ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- install CD does not boot on tray loading rev-a imac 233MHz https://launchpad.net/bugs/54122 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
