[Bug 857206] Re: (Realek alc887-vd) Speaker and headphones get the same dac

2012-03-05 Thread Zack Evans
Before I dive in and compile a kernel to try this out - will this
provide separate volume controls for speakers and headphones? (So that I
know what success looks like :-) )

[Bug 852915] Re: Speaker playback volume controls headphone volume as well

2012-01-04 Thread Zack Evans
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 857206 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/857206

I have gone full circle. So over in my bug we have deduced that I can
make different volume mixers work or not work correctly by forcing
different model parameters.

This is equivalent to saying that there no suitable model for my
complete hardware - or in other words - volume controls I see and DACs
that the netbook actually has are not correctly mapped. Because really a
model is a set of definitions of DACs and outputs.

So I will try the patch, try the build from the PPA mentioned above, and
try changing the model parameter and make a matrix of how these
interact.

[Bug 897427] Re: [Advent 4211, Realtek ALC1200, Green Headphone Out, Rear] Playback problem

2011-12-29 Thread Zack Evans
With targa-2ch-dig the headphone jack mutes correctly but it is still
not possible to use an external mic. The mic on the netbook chassis is
the Front Microphone and this works.

Meanwhile I thought I would investigate why alsa-base.conf was missing
and it turns out I DIDN'T HAVE ALSA-BASE INSTALLED.

This suggests a dependency bug somewhere as I have been using pulseaudio
and jackd for months without any problems apart from with the headphone
jack and external mic problems we have been talking about.

After I installed alsa-base, the jack sensing works correctly WITHOUT
adding the line to force the model. So I'm now interested to know why
alex has a problem.

Meanwhile it doesn't matter if I use the packaged version of alsa-
base.conf, or targa-dig, or targa-2ch-dig [I just tried], I can't use
the mic jack.

So simple example: Skype through a headset. That needs the headphone
jack switch AND the external microphone to work so I'll try and figure
out how to get both working.

To be absolutely clear: I don't HAVE an alsa-base.conf to begin with -
is that the expected behaviour?

I'll add the file so the snd_hda_intel module picks up the config - if
that fixes my headphones I'll mark my bug 909348 as a dupe of this one.

[Bug 881046] Re: Panning in a virtual monitor is not possible after upgrade to Ubuntu 11.10

2011-12-29 Thread Zack Evans
Looks like the regression was introduced when trying to fix a problem
with the mouse going into space outside of the display, when you have
two displays of different sizes joined together. Here's the bug I think
Bryce referred to, and it looks like that broke panning.

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20334

As Bryce says there are three proposed patches (!), so the best thing we
can do is try and get upstream to prioritise it. Sounds like some of the
patches only fixing panning or only fix scaling.

I just moved another bug from compiz to xorg - actually I now think it's
just a dupe of this one, I will go and mark it.

Bryce - if one of them fixes both problems and looks fairly simple is
there any chance of a cherry-pick?

2011-12-29 Thread Zack Evans
OK tried the targa-dig model. Now if I plug the headphone jack in and
then mute/unmute it comes to life, which is better than having to go
into kcm, but still not ideal!

The Advent 4211 has an ALC888 chipset. I am sure there is a CORRECT
model we should be using, guess I'll dig through the documentation some
more. There don't seem to be many with only TWO jacks listed in
/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt.

targa model gives similar results except the level is set incorrectly,
so everything is too quiet both through speakers and through headphones.

It's a regression bug upstream and at time of writing there are three

[Bug 909348] [NEW] Connect / disconnect headphone jack switch not working

2011-12-28 Thread Zack Evans
Public bug reported:

As with bug #829843 switching audio output from internal speakers to
headphones / line-out does not work automatically. When I insert the
jack, sound continues from internal speakers.

Changing the output using Phonon controls in kconfig works fine.

Possible clue: If I boot with the jack in the socket sound is sent
through the external output correctly.

Changing the mixer volume does not help.

Once I have manually changed Phonon to send output through the jack,
volume control does work, so this isn't the same as bug #817943.

So I have the opposite bug where I plug headphones in and I don't get
any headphone sound even though the System Settings has noticed that I
plugged them in.

However if I manually change it back to speakers, with the headphones
in, adjust the volume, change it to headphones and adjust the volume
again, THEN I get correct volume in headphones and mute speakers, as it
should be.

I think there's something broken with DAC selection as bugs #829843 and

So the attachment called kernel_oops is the screenshot ?

This looks like the kernel has already booted fine and the problem  (a
hang?) is occurring much later in the process.

If that is correct, then you should be able to follow the instructions
in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingCasper to obtain the error log or at
least switch on the debug info so you can write some of it down.

It cannot be a complete system hang otherwise it would also ignore the
signal from the power button, so it must be something to do with the
keyboard driver...

[Bug 719183] Re: chromium-browser hangs when webgl is enabled

[Bug 551130] Re: infinite loop in /etc/init/mysql.conf if mysqld is not running.

2010-07-05 Thread Zack Evans
In my case it must have been webmin that's put something in the my.cnf
file that it doesn't like.

I'll have to find out what it doesn't like and file a separate bug
against webmin, as the cause - but meanwhile I can confirm there is a
bug with the startup script. It doesn't fail gracefully, just hangs.

Is this bug in the equivalent Debian upstream?

Oh - the startup problem is disguised as a permissions problem, but
actually it's because the db file is on an NTFS partition  - so it's not

[Bug 401823] Re: Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead

2010-06-25 Thread Zack Evans
Quick re-summary then.

Karmic looks like it was fixed (although it only seems to be me that
posted a confirmation.)

Lucid says fix-released. I, and many others, are still seeing these
warnings in lucid. So, fix doesn't work, can someone suitably
qualified change the status back please, or state which symptoms they
think are fixed, and I'll open a new bug for anything that isn't fixed.

Flash *seems* to trigger it the most easily, although correlation is not 
causation.
On my system Firefox without flash, and Chrome, and very occasionally other 
arbitrary GTK apps trigger it.

... and the bug is almost a year old. Oops. :-) Happy to help test
anything if required.

I have a new work laptop coming next week so I have an opportunity to
test a totally fresh install with all current updates, will do so and
report back.

Could I ask no-one else posts confirmations for now, we've got about 50
of those above already...

[Bug 383443] Re: vlc stops playing flac file

2010-05-24 Thread Zack Evans
This bug might have a wider scope. I noticed the problem in VLC, so I
tried rhythmbox, and minirok, and they all abort on the same FLAC files
at the same points in time.

I did NOT have this problem in karmic, so it's not a problem with the
FLAC files as such.

Anyhoo - if the original bug is VLC-only, the question remains, what's
the fix for LTS?

[Bug 566788] Re: /dev/shm isn't writable, causing problems with glibc 2.2+ apps such as chromium

2010-05-18 Thread Zack Evans
I'm looking at a whole at a few bugs that I -didn't- have in a late beta
and I DO have in the release versions. I thought I was going mad, but it
does seem this appears between beta and current.

 I reinstalled fresh from the beta copy. This bug (/dev/shm permissions
problem) does NOT appear in a fresh install from beta. It then
reappeared directly after I updated mountall to the release version.

So this looks like some sort of regression between version 2.10 and
version 2.15 of the package.

Same problem here, appeared after a bunch of updates against the beta.
Didn't have the problem on first install.

It's been consistent for a little while now, didn't report it straight
away until I was sure it was EVERY time I rebooted. It's a real problem
so by all means mark this incomplete again but don't mark it invalid -
I'll provide whatever troubleshooting is needed.

Yes, I know the mount table is a mess. I'm reshuffling a few things. :-)

I have tried Full and Emulation on 44.1 and 48kHz and I have choppy

Standard Karmic version of wine 1.1.31-0ubuntu3
Standard Karmic version of pulseaudio 0.9.19-0ubuntu4

I remember reading something about power management in pulseaudio giving
problems in karmic; I'll investigate that and post back if I get

Power management change in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf doesn't help.

Changing pulseaudio to ffmpeg DOES help but still not quite listenable.

Uninstalled Pulseaudio totally and still got some stuttering so there's
an ALSA problem *also* I think. Suspect this is an Intel HDA thing.

BUT it really is only Spotify that crackles badly... system sounds,
Amarok, YouTube, iPlayer all fine.

2009-11-09 Thread Zack Evans
I'm running kubuntu so I don't get wireless until knetworkmanager has
run, -after- desktop login.

For me, Privoxy starts, but never seems to notice that I have a got a
network . It seems to assume that if there was no network when it
started up, there never will be one. So I have to restart the service
once I am connected...

I am sure there must be a way to make this work by changing Privoxy
settings somehow?

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

2009-10-23 Thread Zack Evans
My problem goes away if I disable IPv6. If I boot with IPv6 though, so I
have the problem, DNS lookups from the command line happen quickly.

for i in `cat /etc/resolv.conf | grep ^nameserver | cut -f2 -d' '`; do
dig @$i www.microsoft.com ; done

is practically instant. (I have also tried it with some other hostnames
to check it is not cacheing hiding the problem.)

I should add I did not have this problem in Jaunty, and no equipment has
changed, only the upgrade to Karmic.

So, as I type, with IPv6 enabled, Privoxy is grinding, everything else
seems OK.

If I reboot with IPv6 off, Privoxy and everything else will be OK. DNS
 lookups seem OK whether enabled or disabled.

So is there some other subtle interaction between Privoxy and IPv6?

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

2009-10-18 Thread Zack Evans
I have had a privoxy go-slow - several seconds on every lookup - since
installing Karmic beta. Hadn't really noticed  a problem in any other
app but web browsing did sometimes feel sluggish.

In a brainwave just now I have tried disabling ipv6 (using grub method)
and now privoxy is working beautifully. I have also noticed that web
browsing feels snappier generally, so I think this was slowing -all- of
my apps down by a large enough fraction for me to feel the difference
now.

Just to reiterate: it's repeatable for me with privoxy. IPV6 on -
privoxy massive latency. IPV6 off - privoxy works fine.

I have a Draytek so blaming the router isn't practical - these have a
MASSIVE installed base. Whether it's strictly the router's fault or not,
it would not be ubuntu of Ubuntu to get all academically correct about
it, we need some sort of workaround that can be achieved by clicking
buttons.

To be honest, only the advanced users would want IPv6 anyway, so why not
have it off by default and make it very easy to switch on?

Alternate theory meanwhile: kernel 31-RC8 hangs on boot for me, 6 and 7

2009-06-23 Thread Zack Evans
Been looking through changelogs for the version Bob Manners and I have
been going through... I can see there are several memory leaks that
might have been the culprit that have been fixed recently, or that had
been fixed in drivers way in advance of what I was running.

Bob: your bug, but suggest we close this one and if we find more leaks,
open another one?

Nizamov: UXA works reasonably well for me now in Jaunty as long as I use
xorg-edgers stuff - any particular reason you went back to EXA - did you
have other problems?

[Bug 314928] Re: [i915GM] MTRR entry gets removed when restarting xorg - causes corruption on ttys

2009-06-23 Thread Zack Evans
I ran your patched kernel for quite some time and it was perfectly
stable. I moved X on to xorg-edgers version because I was curious about
a few other bugs...

I've just been looking into going back a few versions and doing the
testing as you suggest. However my .28 kernel is now

linux-image-2.6.28-13-generic  2.6.28-13.44

which has come from -updates, and dpkg is therefore moaning about older
versions. So does this already have the patch in, or should I force the
downgrade to your kernel for testing, with the hope of turning your
patch into the .45 release?

There were lots of changes to this area of DRM in 2.6.30rc7 and rc8 -
could be worth trying this kernel and seeing if the problem goes away?
If it does I don't think it will be too hard to identify the exact
changes which fixed it...

2009-06-04 Thread Zack Evans
OK. Can't try the current (20090603) xorg-edgers build for performance
because it just plain won't run games, but I believe this is a known
problem.

Meanwhile, on the latest Jaunty proposed versions UXA is about half the
speed of EXA on a couple of games. Which bug are you using to track UXA
performance regression - I'd like to test the versions recommended there
and see how far off the best EXA performance we are now...

In other words if this is now an invalid bug, where's the valid one, or
would you like me to file a more structured bug report anew?

@Bryce: Fair comment, but for Jaunty, if you enable UXA to remove the
EXA-freeze bug, you get the UXA-fonts bug instead - which does stop you
working since everything becomes unreadable.

What we need is an SRU which fixes or works around BOTH bugs...

[Bug 339091] Re: [i945] (Needs UXA) X freezes a few minutes after resuming

2009-05-29 Thread Zack Evans
There absoutely are freeze bugs in UXA and EXA both in the default
Jaunty configuration, so we need an SRU of some type, even if it's a bug
that affects performance.

The good news is that a whole bunch of them are fixed, either in kernel
updates or in updates in -proposed - so with a little time devoted to
packaging the smallest possible SRU (I'd suggest 2.7.1, the MTRR fixes,
and some sort of fix for the tiling stuff, maybe a cherry-pick), we can
at least make Jaunty work out of the box, probably using EXA and Greedy
migration, since that seems to work for most people I've seen posting on
these bugs, at a reasonable level of performance.

Anyhoo, the even better news is that EXA and UXA are BOTH rock solid for
me under .30rc7, or a patched kernel (from one of these bugs), and
desktop performance is acceptable. Game performance isn't what it should
be but I now realise that UXA and DRI2 is the way to go, and bleeding-
edge gamers will have to wait for Karma and we can't fix the Intel
issues from where we are standing. That's life!

So in summary - I think 2.7.1 really does fix this bug - it did for me.

UXA has all sorts of cosmetic problems and the font-corruption bug comes
and goes, but I guess I'll need to upgrade to Karmic before there's any
point in reporting bugs against UXA. UXA is about half the speed of EXA
for 3d apps (but MIGHT be slightly quicker in 2d.)

2009-05-06 Thread Zack Evans
@Ilya: bug 349314 isn't for this chipset, so that's why it doesn't help.

The good news is that bug 314928 has a different test version of the
kernel which fixes the MTRR allocation problems - maybe try that one and
report back on that discussion: try cat /proc/mtrr on the kernel you
have now,

If you are using fixmtrr.sh you'll need to stop using it temporarily
to make this comparison. If you're NOT using fixmtrr.sh (and you don't
know what I mean) then I'm pretty sure the kernel from 314928 will fix
your problem.

@Steve, see bug 360319 for memory leak. The final comment on that one
suggests Intel driver 2.7.0 fixes the leak - guessing you're on 2.6.3
given the repos you mention.

Re your hang, there are several later 2.6.28 kernels in circulation now,
could try some of those and see if you can bisect if the latest one
fixes it?

1. Where did you find the 2.7.0 version, I don't seem to have that

2. If we file an upstream bug specific to EXA... will it be marked

[Bug 359392] Re: [i965] X freezes starting on April 3rd

2009-05-01 Thread Zack Evans
The new release implements a workaround by default, which prevents the
average needing to mess with xorg.conf to make the problem go away.

The flipside of this is that if you have already changed xorg.conf
because your config is above average, Bryce's patch won't make a bit of
difference.

I'm guessing your VirtualSize is already set to something over 2960 wide
because you have a dual-screen setup of that size. Wonder if it's worth
changing your VirtualSize line to 2960x2048 so both dimensions are over
the magic 1600andsomething.

[Bug 342923] Re: [i945] (Needs UXA) Kubuntu Jaunty Intel 945 GM - Poor sluggish graphics performance in Kate text, etc.

2009-04-30 Thread Zack Evans
Thanks - if you can't boot RC2 that's fair enough, the rest of the info
is useful anyway!

Your random full screen flashes - are you now getting
(EE) intel(0): underrun on pipe A! messages in the log? If so could be worth 
a look at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19304  - separate bug...

Doesn't work that way with GLXgears, but yes, the currently suggested
fixes mostly lose you some performance but gain you some stability. The
only way to extract true performance is to get UXA and DRI2 stable, but
as you know we're not there yet, we'll have to keep slugging away at the
UXA bugs. At least we can: the first set of Windows drivers for my
netbook were appalling and there was nothing I could do but wait for an
update from the Microsoft gods.

Frame rates in games are a slightly better indicator, so if performance
in your favourite game has dropped by half that's more meaningful that
GLXgears dropping by half. I bet your game FPS hasn't come down quite so
far though?

You are correct, 
Option EXAOptimizeMigration true
Option MigrationHeuristic greedy
will be ignored if you have turned on UXA.

(WW) intel(0): drmDropMaster failed: Unknown error 4294967295 is just
a known warning you will see with kernels before 2.6.29 (it's to do with
enabling DRI on multiple X servers on multiple VTs, which I therefore
assume doesn't work on the .28 kernel, in fact I think I remember a bug
complaining about that...)

2009-04-29 Thread Zack Evans
@Bryce, there are lots of bugs described in the conversation above so
far, as follows... so it's a duplicate of several. :)

Musthafa says later on that KDE and Gnome are both affected, so I am
inclined to agree that it's not Kubuntu specific, and the UXA
hangs/freezes described are part of the wider UXA issue(s).

@Musthafa: 
GLXgears is not a benchmark and is misleading in this case for a number of 
reasons. What sort of framerates do you get in PPracer? But you're right, there 
are some performance regressions in UXA which we need to get to the bottom of.

@Musthafa,Xavier,Alvin,noisymime,Gnorou,Ace Suares regarding EXA: 
You've all said that EXA is too sluggish. The only way it is acceptable for me 
is if I have put in the Greedy fix and ensured that MTRR is set up correctly 
- have you all done both of those things, because I now find EXA + Greedy + 
working MTRR acceptable and I get a smoothish 19FPS in ppracer.

If any of you have display corruption under EXA there's probably already
a bug open for that regression.

The MTRR stuff is explained in 
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582

@Andrew Mason, the difference could be MTRR usage - if you have Jaunty
and Fedora on the same box could you post the output of cat /proc/mtrr
on both OSes - could be that Fedora is getting it right by default,
whereas the release version of Jaunty's kernel doesn't for me.

@Bartek,
That might be G35 specific - have you had a look on here for other G35 bugs?

@Wesley, there's a really good explanation of XAA, EXA, and UXA:
http://keithp.com/blogs/Sharpening_the_Intel_Driver_Focus. 
XAA doesn't support hardware 3D fully so Mandriva will need to update to at 
least EXA.

So whatever is done to fix this for 2.6.28 we'll need to be careful
about regressions in 2.6.30.

May putting a hack into X startup is not the answer - this looks like a
problem with the kernel MTRR startup, especially if this worked right in
Intrepid. (If you did want to hack it, then /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsetup or
Xstartup would be a good place for Kubuntu.)

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 359392 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/359392

This is not a duplicate, people. In the early days of the 359392 bug
there were a lot of freezes around, but (correct me if I am wrong Bryce
and co) 359392 is now identified as an 965 specific issue with a 965
workaround - and that workaround is not useful for a 945 because it will
introduce other problems, assuming it fixed the problem for us at all.

Wesley's bug sounds much more like the one I see... so it may well be a
dupe of another 945 bug, but it's certainly not a dupe of 359392.

Wesley, are you on Intrepid release versions of everything - or are you
using any Xorg edgers stuff or other unusual libraries, and can you
please post Xorg.0.log and output of lspci --vvnn.

@zwaldowski: I think I saw you say somewhere else today that you put

bug for you too?

These are to do with VT switching and/or the fact that Xorg has locked up in 
the first place; believed harmless.

Like you I think bug 327844 may be the same thing. How do we decide?

Do you have libgl1-mesa-swx11 package installed? That's the software
rasterizer.

libgl1-mesa-glx is the hardware (ie fully accelerated) version, so you
should have that installed if you want effects.

2009-04-21 Thread Zack Evans
This combination is rock solid for me, and adequate for most things
including YouTube and doing Office stuff in VirtualBox. Not really up to
scratch for games which is why I'm still keen to help get UXA fixed -
but meanwhile:

Section Device
# Be sure to include your Identifier line and other options you already have 
in the Device section, as well as the additions below.
Option  EXAOptimizeMigration  true
Option  AccelMethod   exa
Option MigrationHeuristic greedy
# Make sure you don't have UXA enabled anywhere!
# Option AccelMethod uxa
EndSection

Can you try this - and if you still get crashes then actually it might
help, since there must be something in your 965 that I don't have in my
945, and therefore that's where your bug is...

Can you confirm that this still happens with

- in the last couple of weeks the guys have fixed loads of freeze/crash

In most of the other bugs that are open it has been deduced that
i915_get_vblank_counter *ERRROR* is not related, as you suggest.

If you still have the bug on the latest version then can you post

[Bug 359392] Re: [i965] X freezes starting on April 3rd

2009-04-20 Thread Zack Evans
I've been thinking about the tangle of package versions we've got now
and it prompted a couple of thoughts.

1. What happens when you have libgl1-mesa-glx AND lib-gl1-mesa-swx11
installed?

AIUI -glx is the hw-acceleration version of OpenGL and will therefore
trigger any DRI bugs we have and generally sweat the graphics hardware
fully, whereas -swx11 is a software rendering engine for OpenGL and
unlikely to use the full capabilities of the chipset.

Could it be we have some people here with swx11 accidentally installed
therefore putting them into software render mode, and therefore going
-around- any bugs in the hw?

I notice wirechief has ended up with both installed... glx official
7.4-0ubuntu3 but swx11 from Bryce's purple version.

2. What libosmesa6 do - Mesa Off-screen rendering extension

I don't have it installed, I guess because no other package has ever
pulled it in. If I ask to install -swx11 then I need to install this
library too... so I haven't, yet, but might be interesting to see if it
changes my symptoms.

I've gone to 7.4-0ubuntu3 and I CAN now boot with EXA + greedy under
2.6.30RC2 - I had a freeze straightaway in X with 7.4.0ubuntu2. So
something's fixed in EXA mode at least...

2009-04-17 Thread Zack Evans
Totally agree with Gnurou. You can't release a version that's known bad
without putting the workarounds in BY DEFAULT. However there might be
light at the end of the tunnel (or buffer, or pipe :-) )

I pulled new libdrm packages yesterday, to go from 2.4.6 to 2.4.9 -
didn't fix it, exactly the same range of symptoms under various kernel
and EXA or UXA settings.

I then pulled some new mesa packages this morning. I am now on 7.4-0ubuntu2...
...and I am running UXA and stable so far, couple of hours which is definitely 
a record.

I'm not going to say it's fixed until I get to the end of the day, but
it does look like the latest mesa has fixed SOMETHING. Which is strange,
because there's nothing in the change log that would indicate fixes to
freeze conditions.

usr/lib/dri/i965_dri.so is provided by the package libgl1-mesa-dri.

So indeed these errors suggest you are now missing that package, or you
have a permissions problem with it, so I agree you have some
installation problem with Bryce's package.

Meanwhile this means your system is not even trying to use DRI, so
clearly you aren't going to trigger any bugs. :-) But I also imagine
this means you've had a slowdown?
