( qty. 2 ) Current 10.4 Lucid Live CD ( build Mar 5/6 2010 ) - Ubuntu
Desktop

( qty. 3 ) Current 10.4 Lucid - in place upgrade 9.10  10.4 - Ubuntu
Desktop, Lubuntu Desktop, Xubuntu Desktop

So far no problems with audio, currently using the default install sound
server ( pulse ), reset ALL desktop sound configs back to
out-of-box-defaults.

I do experience off and on random  mute  on reboot, though not a
problem.

Lubuntu is an exception, I'm forcing ALSA and manually configured (
alsamixer , alsactl store , etc ) - machine Dell C600 PIII 700 MHz, 256 MB
Ram

Removed all  dirty workarounds  I had in place under 9.10

[Bug 499773] Re: /var/lib/ureadahead/debugfs not removed from /etc/mtab

2010-02-02 Thread comgen
I'll add:

On any system I have ubuntu 9.10 ( ubuntu, xubuntu, etc ) installed and on boot 
/ reboot 
the following is present (  df -H ):  /var/lib/ureadahead/debugfs

System performance is greatly reduced ( 20% - 40% est ), so far, a
simple reboot will remove this entry and performance is returned to
normal. The key condition / factor is whether
/var/lib/ureadahead/debugfs is present

General system specs are wide: 400Mhz - 3 GHz Intel and AMD 32/64 bit,
256 MB - 4 GB RAM, 10 GB - 500 GB HDD mixed brands.

As reported by others, ureadhead, will fail on boot / reboot as well,
with out an failure everything is fine

If I can be of any further assistance, please provide brief debug / test
commands / log info request, etc and I'll be happy to provide them.

[Bug 434460] [NEW] Sound playback in general

2009-09-22 Thread comgen
Public bug reported:

Description:Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
Release:9.10   ( Alpha 6 )

At this time not specific to any cpu and/or sound card ( 3 desktops, 1
laptop, AMD and Intel, 700 Mhz - 2.8 Ghz ),

I can recreate the problem and provide debug info per request and
further instruction.


note: I performed an dist upgrade on one system ( 9.04 ext3 to 9.10 ext3 ) 
using the update manager. This system did NOT have any problems with sound, 
until I performed an Alpha 6 CD install ( 1 day ago ), formating and not 
preserving user home and preferences ( fresh install with ext4 ) 


Sound in General

Audio playback ( initial alpha 6 default install and later after adding
additional codec support ), sound is muffled and crackly, think, max
volume and over amplified, even though volume settings are low-mid. So
far this applies to but not limited to: Totem-gstreamer, Totem-xine,
VLC, mplayer, Rhythmbox, Exaile, Firefox audio and video ( flash ) and
system sounds.

I am able to resolve this issue ( kind-of ) by removing the ( .pulse )
dir on boot from the user account and/or manually ( dirty workaround ).

# rc.local # mv /home/username/.pulse /home/username/.pulse-last

 mv  is not required, just a personal preference, long as .pulse is
cleared prior to login or manually, sound playback regardless of audio /
video source / codec / etc. works

Without this workaround, selecting ALSA or leaving it default has no
effect either, though I find ALSA to work best overall.

With the workaround in place, Totem-* does not have internal volume
control ( grey volume icon, mute, non-click-able ), Totem-* has been
fussy in general in Alpha 6, prior to 9.10 I've never had any problems (
8.04 - 9.04 ) in the past I found Totem-Xine to work best. With the
workaround, VLC, mplayer, Rhythmbox, Exaile, Firefox audio and video (
flash ), system sound work flawless, while totem-* does not.

The system volume control applet preferences can not be adjust with the
workaround ( error sound system is not responding ), though I can adjust
the volume / mute and I have full clear sound playback.

Firefox 3.5x and previous versions, flash has always been less than
acceptable, however, the following smooths out playback.

# about:config
# browser.sessionstore.interval;10

On my AMD 1.3 Ghz SIS based system ( primary workstation ) I have been
receiving the following boot warnings since 9.04, though, sound worked
flawless on this machine up until Alpha 6 regardless of kernel error
AC97 codec and currently with the above workaround in place.

[   11.437736] MC'97 1 converters and GPIO not ready (0x800f)
[   11.456095] gameport: Trident 4DWave is pci:00:01.4/gameport0, speed 
2130kHz
[   12.912666] ac97 codec read TIMEOUT [0x54/0x800fc0d4]!!!
[   12.917018] ac97 codec read TIMEOUT [0x5a/0x800fc05a]!!!
# repeats...

Thank you for your time and services and feel free to contact me
regarding this issues. A reply is not necessary if the above information
is sufficient.

[Bug 110636] Re: hdparm - cannot set dma on IDE hard drive that works via pata

2007-08-20 Thread comgen
Temp fix

* Use cation and research first, the following  HAS  worked for me
* under Feisty and Gusty  SO FAR .
 I will NOT BE held responsible for any damage, I'm passing this on as an 
* option / quick fix. Later in the build the following might break your system.
* Keep a note handy with ALL changes you make for future reference.

* I am not associated with Ubuntu or the Ubuntu development team(s),
just a user. *

Edit /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst   ( back them up first )

1. sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu-lst-bk-UUID
2. sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab-bk-UUID

Notes:  sda = hdasda1 = hda1 sdb = hdb and so on

Comment out or replace ALL UUID entries in /etc/fstab with your drive(s)

1. sudo nano /etc/fstab

Example:  
# /dev/sda1
UUID=e0b77534-74ca-4e25-af29-773fc0d94fc7  /  ext3 
defaults,noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
to:
/dev/hda1  /  ext3 defaults,noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1

# /dev/sda5
#UUID=daf35485-6c6e-491a-8287-73cd3f07f6fd
/dev/hda5   noneswapsw  0 0


=
Optional ( I think ) I did not alter my menu.lst and works just fine, 
here's the quick and dirty, if you wish to alter this as well.

Comment out or replace ALL UUID entries in /boot/grub/menu.lst  with
your drive

1. sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst( hda  = the root boot drive, hda1 hda2 
hdb1..)

example:
# kopt=root=UUID=e0b77534-74ca-4e25-af29-773fc0d94fc7 ro
to: kopt=root=/dev/hda ro 
   
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-9-386 
root=UUID=e0b77534-74ca-4e25-af29-773fc0d94fc7 ro
to:kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-9-386 root=/dev/hda ro

Reboot !

Good Luck !
