Oof.  Well, glad someone may be addressing it - kudos and all love to
Carlos Soriano, it appears?

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732004#c3

Apparently it's a simple one-liner: https://bug732004.bugzilla-
attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=284244

...that won't be in upstream until GNOME 3.16, and Ubuntu is sticking
with GNOME 3.12 stuff for Ubuntu 14.10.  Any chance that is cherry-pick-
able?

@Sebastien Bacher:  Awesome, thanks!  From the timing I guess that
landed between visiting Launchpad and finishing typing.   (Obviously got
all that from your link to the GNOME bug just prior but I wasn't sure
how much activity that indicated.)

Now to actually try it out after work... :)

re: my #38 above: Those screenshots accidentally expose another funny
behavior - yes, when the yellow 'tip' appears at the bottom of the
window it does at least tell you about the individual file that's been
highlighted.

Apparently in the contrived case of a window that small (felt like
fitting both in one png and not sharing the labels of my external
drives) it doesn't fully appear, different bug.  But at normal window
heights that part does work if you feel like individually examining each
one.

Does this mean it's fixed or someone just pushed the ignore pesky
users button again?  I see no new Nautilus updates since last week.

Does this mean 14.10's version will be improved?

The 14.04 examples in the attachment are a bit forced with non-sensitive
data from my home machine, but when you're at work dealing with files
and paths like /Clients/Lastname, Firstname/adv. Plaintiff/for
filing/Motion (Second) for Extension of Time to File Opposition.pdf and
any column gets truncated, you're in for a bad time when all search
results return as e.g. Mot

The Dash search also seems to have issues being useful with these common
cases of 'important metadata is in the path as well as the filename' if
you're trying to find Bob's motion and not Alice's.

I know I'm without gruntle, but I'm told all of these features break
equally when working with multiple git repos, so what audience is being
adequately served by any of this again?

[Bug 932834] Re: Enable equalizer

2014-09-24 Thread floid
It's not clear what themuso was referring to back in 2012, but as nevion 
alluded to above, qpaeq is 'just' a Python program.
It's the GUI required (absent equivalent software) for the end-user to do 
something useful with the capability exposed by the modules (which do come 
stock, but aren't loaded by default).

See:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/plain/src/utils/qpaeq

Perhaps the problematic dependency back then was PyQt4 or sip?  Or not,
this is what's known as unfounded speculation on my part.

[Bug 1181355] Re: R300 (RS480): Intermittent flickering corruption top half of display (VGA, 1080p)

2014-01-08 Thread floid
As a parting comment, this was awful enough and lasted long enough that
I was forced to drop 6450s in the affected hardware, so I don't know if
any of that was resolved.

I will note the following for those in the same boat:

a) Dropping in Radeon 6450s did solve it and they were only $30 or so
with careful shopping at that time, probably less now that they only
have half the performance of an A8's integrated GPU.

b) Dropping in 6450s did generate enough heat and power stress in
combination to take out the aged capacitors in one of the two machines,
forcing an upgrade, which forced the issue of upgrading the other
machine to match.  If you're upgrading an old machine with a fanless
card and there's no case fan in the usual near the card cage position,
I would suggest adding one for the extra $4 or so for insurance or
rubber-chicken facto.  At least, in my minimal sample of these 2
machines and 2 similar Socket AM2 boxes with case fans (~80-90mm low-RPM
'silent' types) it was only one of the fanless boxes that hit death.  (I
will also note that the dead box had a standard 'old fashioned' power
supply with a small exhaust fan and mostly slots on the back, while the
boxes with no trouble have all had the 'modern' style with a large 120mm
fan pulling air up across the board from the bottom.  In a marginal
situation this might be enough to keep things alive until the hardware
is obsolete for other reasons.)

c) Fingers crossed, thus far I have not been bitten with too much bitrot
in the 6450 support and I believe they are recent enough to still be a
target for the ongoing improvements in the open-source driver.. this
year, at least.  fglrx still supports them right now.

d) If I had realized Socket FM2 was a dead-end at the time I ended up
having to buy new machines as a result of this saga, I would've been
even more annoyed.  If something's gone wrong now and you're still
standing by AMD, do make sure you end up with something FM2+ (not plain
FM2) so upgrades to anything interesting will be possible.

The Unity/Libre/Firefox stack has been gradually bloating such that the
maximum 2GB in the old machines was not going to support standard
browsing/multiple-documents-and-reference-PDFs-open-at-once office tasks
for much longer anyway.

It is never fun to be forced to upgrade hardware solely for reasons of
bitrot.  While I think AMD ex-ATI has better intentions of providing
good and stable FOSS/*NIX support for chips of roughly the vintage of
the 6450 and later, and I sure appreciate what a nightmare maintaining
X.org support must be (I was also 'bitten' by the rot of support for the
'well-supported' Matrox G200 at the end of the AGP era)... I will post
grumpily grumpy about this to the extent that it might shame anyone into
not letting the decay repeat quite so badly in the future.  (There
seemed to be initial good intentions with the RS480 and 780G, but
breakage in support for both forced me to invest in a lot of 6450s...
even when they had previously been quite adequate and the only 3D app
in use was Unity itself.  It does leave the customer feeling like a
sucker and I can no longer say I've had no problems maintaining a
business on AMD... even if I did get to sit out a dozen different
incompatible Intel CPU socket 'generations' in the time this hardware
lasted, and enjoy switching from the original Semprons to some of the
last Athlon 64x2 parts when the former could no longer cut it.)

[Bug 1205055] Re: Impossible to change column width of Nautilus in list view

2014-01-07 Thread floid
Hmm.  I just experimented with your problem here and notice that if the
window is not wide enough in list view, you cannot stretch the contents
of the Name field past the

Questions:
Do you get the double arrow - cursor when you hover over the | divider 
between the Name and Size fields?
If you get the double arrow, Can you then hold the left button and drag to the 
left to make the Name field *smaller*?
...and then does dragging it back to the right work until the contents of the 
Modified column hits the right side of the window?

I just checked and see that e.g. Nautilus 2.32 from GNOME 2.x would
allow stretching the Name column to the right and beyond, creating a
horizontal scrollbar.  It appears that horizontal scrollbars are gone
from Nautilus/Files 3.8.2.  Maybe that is what you're missing?  If so
that appears to have been another GNOME simplification (see also the
enforced spatial Nautilus controversy of a decade ago or the We've
Decided You Must Have a Clock And It Must Be Centered In Your Top Panel
of GNOME 3).

Possible workarounds:
* You can 'emulate' the horizontal scrollbar behavior clumsily by dragging the 
window around and stretching it wider than the screen (drag it so left edge 
hangs off left edge of screen, then widen to right, then drag the whole window 
back and forth.

* For long paths, you can turn off the Location column under Visible
Columns in the v dropdown menu, and have something close to every
other operating system's behavior where the current path is just shown
in the navigation bar for the window.

I agree that more of a 'split line' view for search results would be
great, so the full path could show below the items returned, or
developers could bring back the 'caret'/'indented' sort of expanding
tree view naturally indicating the parent directories - which I miss
greatly when not searching, too.  (I'm guessing the old code for that
'broke' at some point during the Nautilus rewrite or it would not have
gone away.)  And I agree that it was kind of ridiculous to get rid of
horizontal scrolling entirely, especially now that mouse wheels with
left/right tilt are common, but I'm guessing they conflicted visually
with the sticky note that has replaced the status bar to see the size
and item count for the selected item.  Which is sort of redundant in
list view where Size is a column by default.

[Sadly my report of the Modified column still regularly becoming dead
to clicks is still a problem for me.]

You may also want to try installing XFCE's Thunar which appears to have
similar scrollbar behavior to old Nautilus.  This will probably pull in
a large bunch of XFCE dependencies but if you have the disk space that
should be okay; then just add it to your dock as an alternative file
browser.

(If there's a legacy Nautilus package that can co-exist with 3.x, I
wouldn't mind one myself - sometimes I want the instant search, other
times I miss that tree-browsing approach in list view.)

[Bug 1253448] [NEW] Papercut: Visual diff - Replace your changes shows someone else's Changes

2013-11-20 Thread floid
Public bug reported:

The brittleness of /etc/gnome/defaults.list should be another bug*,
but happens to show up a more basic problem with ambiguity in the
helpful visual diff dialog.

The software asks the user whether it should be allowed to:

Replace your changes in '[file]' with a later version of the configuration 
file?
If you don't know why the file is there already, it is usually safe to replace 
it.
Changes:

Options:  [Keep], [Replace]

The ambiguity is that the text refers to your changes, but the
Changes shown are what would be wrought if one chooses to Replace
their own changes.  So instead of showing you something you can Keep
or Replace, the diff is really showing changes to Refuse or
Accept.

There are a dozen ways to fix this.  At minimum, the text strings could
be disambiguated:

Changes proposed: (or Proposed changes:; or Changes in new version:)
[Diff]
These changes will be applied if you choose Replace.

...

* Does someone have a patent on the BSD-style approach of tossing
untouched distribution defaults in /etc/defaults/ with local overrides
a level above?  Having an /etc/gnome/defaults/defaults.list with local
changes in /etc/gnome/defaults.list would solve the underlying bug of
signing up to be nagged forever once you've installed acroread or
another global application that should be recognized by default.

Resizing columns doesn't seem to be a problem for me with Nautilus 3.8.2
on 13.10 x86-64 as just released (for the Name and Size fields - Type
and Modified are apparently 'wide enough' and not adjustable), but I'm
experiencing something potentially related:

Intermittently, the Type and Modified columns do not respond to a
click to sort by that column.  Resizing the width of the window seems to
be the most reliable workaround to get them responsive.

When the columns can't be resized, do the fields still respond to 'sort-
by' clicks?

Glad I'm not crazy.  Recorded what I thought were steps to reproduce
with gnome-calculator 1:3.8.1-0ubuntu1:


Enter:
5994.34 * .50
see 5994.34 x .50 displayed
hit enter
result: 2997.17

^Z undo

see 5994.34 x .50 displayed
hit enter
result: 1498.585

^Z undo

see 5994.34 x .50 displayed
hit enter
result: 749.2925


... however it seems like state has to go crazy as indicated by the 5994.34 
in 5994.34 x .50 becoming boldface like an unedited result - making the 
actual outcome equivalent to hitting return without editing the formula to 
repeat the last operation (*.50), and meaning the above steps failed to 
reproduce it after some fiddling where it was not in the mood to mistreat the 
formula as an untouched result as apparently indicated by showing boldface.

Nasty.

[Bug 1174611] Re: tessaract ocr no longer available in gscan2pdf

2013-06-19 Thread floid
As a headsup for others, 1.1.3 from PPA solves this but seems to have
some work-in-progress quirks re: using scanning backends other than
libsane-perl.

In plain English this means you regain OCR but may lose access to some
convenient page size definitions etc. if, say, scanimage worked more
seamlessly with your scanner.

[If this is a surprise, do let me know and I'll file a real bug.]

[Bug 1187969] Re: uninstalling fglrx results in unknown bad state

2013-06-10 Thread floid
Well, that's a simpler description and the detail's in the comment
anyway, but I had no way of knowing if the GUI approach might be
touching anything in the 'alternatives' system or thereabouts different
from direct apt manipulation.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to assist in solving, maybe I
can see if this is reproducible from liveUSB where it wouldn't be hard
to write a stick and get back to the Xorg radeon driver actually works
fine until you try something else state.

[Bug 1187969] [NEW] 13.04: Reverting from fglrx in Additional Drivers results in unknown bad state

2013-06-05 Thread floid
Public bug reported:

Dropped in a Diamond-branded Radeon 6450 card today to work around LP
#1181355 - the default open-source Xorg radeon driver was working
flawlessly until I switched to fglrx-updates and then attempted to
switch back, all through the settings UI.

Possibly I made the mistake of running aticonfig while testing - but
same is a prerequisite to use the ATI/AMD utilities to peek at the
card's temperature and clocks.  (Trivia: The open-source driver does
appear to run the card's RAM at 800MHz by default, or at least reports
that it does, but this was causing no problems.)

In any case, reselecting the Xorg driver after fglrx has been used
appears to proceed without complaint, but rebooting then results in
either only a purple screen or a 'wrapped screen' bug similar to that
described in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=827895#c23 -
including 'shifted' vtys - that does not change after mode-flipping with
Xrandr from a remote session - although modes other than the default
1920x1080 for the monitor are likely to be white, flashing, or full of
colored cruft.

(However, Unity doesn't appear to take input and whichever component is
responsible for nagging for a keyring password doesn't appear to launch
until after the mode is flipped to something else and back, so that's
still a way to jiggle things enough to be able to interact with the Xorg
session at all.)

When the card comes up too confused to display more than a purple screen
or blank vtys, the xrandr trick doesn't work enough to get that far.


Still trying to figure out exactly what has happened here, but filing against 
software-properties-gtk as that is the component making the 'guarantee' to the 
user that things should return to a known state when the option is selected.

In retrospect I think I may have been bitten by this on other systems
and simply left them running fglrx, so it may have been around for a
while.


Expected behavior:  Reselecting Xorg driver should work as well as it
did prior to trying out fglrx when installed via the same UI.

What happened instead:  Stuck with troubleshooting what could possibly
have changed to cause the 'permanent' breakage obeserved and/or with
fglrx.


I'd love to extract some useful telemetry from the affected machine but it's a 
bit annoying to interact with in the broken state [and at this exact moment 
someone is using it for work so it is inaccessible to re-break] - figured I 
would file fast and add detail later just in case this is a known issue with a 
known but hard-to-Google-for workaround.

[Bug 1181355] Re: R300 (RS480): Intermittent flickering corruption top half of display (VGA, 1080p)

2013-06-03 Thread floid
Reviewing state and this bug after wondering why the system wasn't
flickering after a reboot, I am reminded that entering and leaving
monitor sleep seems to be prerequisite to reproducing the issue.

So every boot is fine until the monitor goes to sleep, and disabling it
would be a workaround.

** Description changed:

+ [Edit:  Issue narrowed down to Something Bad Happening when the display
+ goes to sleep.  See wordy observations on how to reproduce and/or work-
+ around in comments ~#4-#7 in Launchpad.]
+ 
  Any suggestions where to start welcome:
  
  Compaq SR1611NX desktop, Radeon Xpress 200 RS480 (R300) graphics.  HP
  LV2311 LCD connected via VGA because that's the only output on this
  hardware.
  
  The VGA output used to be a little less than perfectly stable with
  older X.org (versions shipped from Ubuntu 9.x to 10.x).  Unknown
  improvements since then have made the overall display much more stable -
  no more shifty horizontal flicker.
  
  In tradeoff, now the top half of the display occasionally flashes
  distractingly for fractions of a second (single frames?) with memory
  cruft as you might expect to see during boot or graphics init -
  generally offset large checkerboard-esque blocks of black and color
  with no obvious relation to what's on the display.  This would seem to
  suggest it's an actual GPU/driver issue rather than a glitch on the
  VGA/monitor end of things.
  
  No idea how to trigger or reproduce other than that it will generally
  occur at least once within each 15 minutes or so of use.  Expanding and
  retracting the dash (very slowly due to the current regression - takes
  about 5+ seconds to fade in and dismiss) will sometimes set it off,
  however.

- Recommendation for screen-recording software to see if it turns up in 
software short of pointing an actual camera at the screen?

[Bug 1181355] Re: R300 (RS480): Intermittent flickering corruption top half of display (VGA, 1080p)

2013-06-03 Thread floid
Per multiple re-edits just now, whups, starting LibreOffice with a few
documents open from autorecovery and maximizing a window has started it
up without the monitor having gone to sleep since booting.  Will try to
pay attention and report if this puzzler is connected to Libre somehow -
I'm never not running it and all workarounds described have probably
been discovered/tested with it running and never killed or restarted.

[Bug 1181355] Re: R300 (RS480): Intermittent flickering corruption top half of display (VGA, 1080p)

2013-06-03 Thread floid
Testing suggesting it's not very application-dependent:

1.  With Libre started and 'flickering' occurring, kill -9 it and make
sure it's dead; flickering persists while using Firefox.

2.  From that state, conduct 'change mode and revert' workaround:
flickering stops and does not recur after restarting Libre (prior to
letting display sleep happen at least).


[Also noting I am likely to give up on this and drop a Radeon 6450 card in as 
throwing different hardware at the problem is going to be cheaper than the 
time-cost.  Still interested in seeing it resolved to the extent that it's 
regressive and also always farcical when the hardware requirements for word 
processing outside of vi arbitrarily go up.]

Workaround seems reproducible after a reboot, although switch to
1280x720 actually produced a working mode this time.  (Rebooted to
install updates available as of about 0400 UTC 2013-05-24 which
contained some things tangentially related to udev, nothing that seemed
likely to have graphics impact?)

[Bug 1181355] Re: R300 (RS480): Intermittent flickering corruption top half of display (VGA, 1080p)

2013-05-24 Thread floid
It appears I was confused and most recent testing _did_ happen in the
same session post-reboot, see timestamps in log snippet below;

The bug recurs after the display goes to DPMS standby/sleep.  It also
appears the display corruption on switching modes occurs after the
display has its first (or multiple) chances to sleep as I hit it now
flipping to 1280x720 the second time in the session - no more clear
1280x720, again a wait for a garbled screen to revert.

While Xorg log shows the machine rereading DDC/EDID data when things are
woken out of DPMS (and the seizure-inducing flicker recommences), xrandr
shows _no_ difference in modelines before/after... not really a surprise
but was worth confirming.

[I should probably be hunting this bug upstream where it's probably
already fixed; maybe another night.]

2013-05-23 Thread floid
A possible temporary workaround after discovering the issue persists
through a warm boot not starting VMWare Player, which I temporarily
suspected  - only been testing for about 5 minutes here:

Used Displays to set 1280x720 instead of 1920x1080.  Display becomes a
horrible corrupt mess of offset chunks vaguely suggestive of what might
be on the desktop except for a perfectly working hardware cursor.

Waited for display to revert; post-reversion to 1920x1080 the seizure-
inducing blipverts as shown in the images above seem gone and the
desktop text is less flickery with timing cruft as well (longstanding
problem using the analog output with this hardware similar to the bad
old days of the Rage XL).

Not sure if this implicates KMS / poor setup from KMS, as alluded to in
other similar Radeon bugs.

dmesg shows nothing, Xorg log shows nothing interesting from the
resolution-flip operations:

[   718.155] (II) RADEON(0): Allocate new frame buffer 1280x720 stride 1280
[   718.155] (II) RADEON(0): VRAM usage limit set to 48193K
[   748.647] (II) RADEON(0): Allocate new frame buffer 1920x1088 stride 1920
[   748.692] (II) RADEON(0): VRAM usage limit set to 44089K


Inability to successfully downgrade resolution probably counts as another bug 
but is not of personal interest.

[Bug 1181355] [NEW] R300 (RS480): Intermittent flickering corruption top half of display (VGA, 1080p)

2013-05-17 Thread floid
Public bug reported:

Any suggestions where to start welcome:

Compaq SR1611NX desktop, Radeon Xpress 200 RS480 (R300) graphics.  HP
LV2311 LCD connected via VGA because that's the only output on this
hardware.

The VGA output used to be a little less than perfectly stable with
older X.org (versions shipped from Ubuntu 9.x to 10.x).  Unknown
improvements since then have made the overall display much more stable -
no more shifty horizontal flicker.

In tradeoff, now the top half of the display occasionally flashes
distractingly for fractions of a second (single frames?) with memory
cruft as you might expect to see during boot or graphics init -
generally offset large checkerboard-esque blocks of black and color
with no obvious relation to what's on the display.  This would seem to
suggest it's an actual GPU/driver issue rather than a glitch on the
VGA/monitor end of things.

No idea how to trigger or reproduce other than that it will generally
occur at least once within each 15 minutes or so of use.  Expanding and
retracting the dash (very slowly due to the current regression - takes
about 5+ seconds to fade in and dismiss) will sometimes set it off,
however.


Recommendation for screen-recording software to see if it turns up in 
software short of pointing an actual camera at the screen?

2013-05-17 Thread floid
After catching it in the act with my phone camera, the glitch seems
prone to reusing more recognizable content today - this is my desktop
background (although there's a pile of icon-litter on top of it in
normal circumstances) offset and possibly tinted a bit.

Also seeing more non-vertically-aligned bursts of horizontal dark lines
and cruft while typing this.  In fact, typing is a surprisingly good way
to trigger it compared to leaving the screen idle...

[Bug 1176475] Re: 13.04 amd64: Packages missing on upgrade: activity-log-manager-control-center, gnome-control-center-signon, gnome-control-center-unity

2013-05-13 Thread floid
As came up while trying to figure out where the U1 Music Store went
(apparent answers after much screen-scraping: gone from Rhythmbox, not
in The Store, moved into Dash which really just opens a link in Firefox,
correct me in private if I'm wrong?), the Cloud Indicator is also
missing.

Some web-searching suggests this is indicator-sync - which is installed,
and no change after a deinstall+reinstall of the package without a
logout that I'm loathe to try just now...  But that package is also
described as indicating only sync status so I'm not sure it's even what
the one that comes with a properly working 13.04.

...anyone got a clue here?  Did this just not make it as a 64-bit
package or do I have a big inexplicable indicators SNAFU?

[Naturally I actually use U1 for some things - music purchases at least
- while my user with a working cloud indicator doesn't, yet.]


The U1 web UI (as linked by trying to buy music in the Dash) appears to be a 
workaround, but I'd like to solve how/why I quietly would up missing all these 
UI packages (including the perhaps-legally-important-in-some-jurisdictions 
'privacy' panel) for the benefit of everyone.

[Bug 1176475] [NEW] 13.04 amd64: Packages missing on upgrade: activity-log-manager-control-center, gnome-control-center-signon, gnome-control-center-unity

2013-05-04 Thread floid
Public bug reported:

Sat through an uneventful update-manager upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04 on
amd64 recently - only to find that at least the following packages were
absent after the upgrade:

gnome-control-center-unity [provides Appearance settings panel]

activity-log-manager-control-center [provides Privacy settings panel]

gnome-control-center-signon [provides Online Accounts settings panel]


It's a bit worrying that I was not aware the Privacy settings panel was missing 
'via bug' rather than 'by new default' until I booted a liveUSB image to 
evaluate performance on some old hardware* and noticed the difference.

I also seem to have acquired an Adwaita theme (missing icons and all)
dating from the day of the upgrade not present in the liveCD image.


[And I _also_ seem to have just discovered that double-clicking to open a 
sources.list in an archive in file-roller will automatically import unknown 
settings from the file when privileges are available rather than open it in 
gedit for examining as naively expected.  I'm good at this game!  Ugh.]


*Unity now performs very well on the Radeon Xpress 200 under 13.04 and
will spare me from adding graphics cards just to handle the desktop
environment - kudos to all of the Xorg, Unity, Ubuntu and other
developers behind that improvement.

apt-term.log hidden as single manual attachment permitted in first wad
of telemetry attached by running ubuntu-bug against update-manager
(probably entirely uselessly but I'm still getting used to being
redirected to ubuntu-bug to report issues).  term.log empty and
lspci.txt unlikely to be interesting so not attached.

If anyone needs to see apt-clone_system_state.tar.gz let me know -
pretty sure there's nothing thrillingly private in there compared to
everything else already attached but it's not world-readable by default
so just spent a few moments wondering why it wouldn't upload.

Switching to fglrx-updates under Software  Updates - Additional
Drivers is the quick fix.  [Who knew it was hiding there?  At least it's
a one-click fix.]

Beyond the obvious, this will be taking a few seconds off a lot of
lifetimes because there's a black-screen delay on first boot after an
upgrade where the watermark is the only thing visible.  Probably under
30 seconds while misc. components of Unity and the rest of the desktop
prep themselves, but enough time to wonder if that's *all* the driver's
going to let you see.

[Bug 897786] Re: Kernel is dropping non-PAE flavour

2013-03-30 Thread floid
@Chris Bainbridge re comment #31:

 but I haven't seen any reports of PAE kernel failing to boot on
Pentium M.

Does this go for Banias as well as Dothan Pentium Ms?  My understanding
is that Dothan actually supports PAE but was potentially crippled-by-
chipset (but if so does that really touch cpuflags?) in common designs,
while the original Banias supposedly completely lacks it [at least
doesn't advertise it]... and the NX support that this is supposed to
really be about came in with Dothan (which I assume will report under
cpuflags in all circumstances?).

I have a couple Dell D600s which are Banias so would be interested to
know what the real deal is.  (Not thrilled to play guinea pig more after
treating the hardware as bricked for a year when it *was* supported
because I expected the rtl8180 driver to work, but if no one else steps
up...)


Interesting that, per wikiality, Microsoft apparently made this same exact 
decision for Windows 8 and Fedora has apparently been enforcing it where 
supported by the hardware since c. 2009 but searching re: the Ubuntu issue 
never turned up screaming and rending of clothes from that camp.  (Does Fedora 
do something more sane here?)

[Bug 1087555] Re: Pidgin segfaults Metacity using unity-2d in 12.04 due to liboverlay-scrollbar

2012-12-16 Thread floid
After somehow forgetting about this, I now note the place to stick the
'patch' override is /usr/share/applications/pidgin.desktop, making the
Exec line:

Exec=LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 pidgin

Sadly the whole Unity/Dash morass made it a bit difficult to track that
down (and this even for someone well aware of .desktop files, just not
sure where the applicable one was sitting).

[Bug 1087555] [NEW] Pidgin segfaults Metacity using unity-2d in 12.04 due to liboverlay-scrollbar

2012-12-06 Thread floid
Public bug reported:

Using pidgin 1:2.10.3-0ubuntu1 , overlay-scrollbar 0.2.16+r357-0ubuntu1
, Ubuntu 12.04 x86 32-bit...

I was reliably blowing up Metacity, if not Xorg itself, trying to launch
Pidgin; see mess of a pidgin -d log below that hinted the problem might
have something to do with scrollbars - and lo: setting
LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 results in a working Pidgin.

Presumably this should be easy to reproduce.  I would've been happy to
just have had a startup script thrown in as a patch so as to not run
into it.  Under certain circumstances I may've managed to get it to take
out more than just Metacity, like the entire X.org session, but I lost
track of what exactly might reproduce that other than trying
repeatedly, because how the heck did a boring app like Pidgin manage to
break?  It appears that was probably just an OOM kill for a crowded
session with long uptime being stressed by whatever ridiculous thing
X.org is being asked to do until it realizes it can't.

[Bug 1066294] Re: package linux-image-3.5.0-17-generic (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

2012-10-24 Thread floid
@alpha1: I'm just another vaguely-confused end user like you; as far
as I can tell there should be no reason for the kernel to *demand* PAE
aside from Ubuntu apparently wanting to make sure all their users have
W^X protections (given Ubuntu's popularity among distributions, that's a
fair point, but only the subset of users with PAE-less hardware would be
vulnerable if they simply gave up on the apparently annoying-to-maintain
emulation patch) ... and guarantee that people with 4GB running 32-bit
can see all their RAM (the main reason PAE exists).

As far as I can tell the 'official' solution is to hang back with 12.04
LTS and see what happens when the 'LTS' runs out.  I don't think many
other distributions have made the same decision yet (some people have
pointed back to 'plain old Debian', for instance) and there's always the
fun options of customizing your own kernel or trusting someone's
unofficial build - so if you want to stick with 12.10, check around the
forums for links to PPAs.

2012-10-20 Thread floid
I hope this isn't just a me-too, but I want to add that I'm amazed that
I somehow lived through both 12.04 (and the 12.10 upgrade process)
completely oblivious to the fact that PAE had become 'temporarily
requisite' for 12.04 at launch and now definitely requisite for 12.10
absent 'unsupported' hacks and workarounds.*

The upgrade process on a Dell Latitude D600 laptop (first-generation
Pentium M, no PAE) did warn that my graphics were at risk for being
unsupported (as prior versions have), but there's no equivalent check
and warning for the 'CPU surprise.'  Since Ubuntu does leave old kernels
lying around in /boot, the upgraded system was still bootable with
3.2.0, but between the kernel issue and the fact that Unity still isn't
satisfied with what GL features the radeon driver can offer with an
ATI Radeon Mobility 9000 (M9) Lf (AGP) (ChipID = 0x4c66) - yet no
longer falls back to unity-2d, despite it still being installed** - I
decided to back out rather than fight.

For users bit by this scenario who want to 'downgrade' back to a known
state, the following abuse of apt (as posted on the Ubuntu Wiki) works:

Replace /etc/apt/sources.list with the helpfully-saved
sources.list.distUpgrade in the same directory;

Create the file /etc/apt/preferences containing the following:

Package: *
Pin: release a=precise
Pin-Priority: 1001

Then:  apt-get update;  apt-get dist-upgrade;  wait, wait some more, and
you'll be back to 12.04.  (That this managed to result in circular
dependencies for CUPS on my system, so printing may be dead until you
resolve that by hand, but elsewise things are back to normal.)


*The 'official' workarounds aren't terribly bad if you're starting from a fresh 
install:  Rely on xubuntu (XFCE) or lubuntu (LXDE), then install the 
ubuntu-desktop package if you want Unity alongside the lighter-weight 
desktops - but that sort of 'crossgrade' is a little more annoying on an 
installed system you'd just intended to update rather than modify.  If you're 
determined, some minor adjustments to the above recipe should work.  

However, it's unclear how long the 'lightweight' distributions will
continue to offer non-PAE kernels if the main Ubuntu kernel team is
tired of maintaining some of the security patches; if there's a
'position statement' from those distros re: how long support can be
expected, please link!

**(The absence of unity-2d fallback is surely surmountable with editing
of the GDM config; I just wasn't in the mood.  I'm still somehow
surprised that Unity demands more GL features than compiz.)

2012-10-20 Thread floid
Sorry, per #3 [thanks vilbara, wish I'd actually read your comment
first!], it looks like xubuntu and lubuntu were workarounds for the
initial PAE-free release of 12.04, but have already inherited the PAE
requirement from mainline Ubuntu for 12.10, so... the 'grace period'
offered by those distributions has already expired.

[I'd be happy to live insecurely but cautiously without NX emulation -
AFAIK it wasn't even introduced to Ubuntu until relatively recently, see
bug #369978 - maintenance of the patch being claimed as one reason for
going PAE-only - even if this required manual installation of a specific
'nopae-insecure' kernel with screaming warnings after the fact, but
given the other limitations it seems unlikely that many of the 'hot new
features' post-12.04LTS would be available on my hardware anyway.]

[Bug 827193] [NEW] Asus M3A78-EM / Realtek ALC1200 - output selection SNAFU

2011-08-16 Thread floid
Public bug reported:

I made the mistake of trying to use headphones about 36 hours ago. ;)

gnome-volume-control is aware of two 'connectors' for the analog device,
Analog Output and Analog Headphones.

It turns out the front headphone output [presumably at Node 0x1b,
Headphone Playback Switch per /proc/asound/card0/codec#0] *does* pass
output along with the rear line out (Node 0x14,  [Jack] Line Out at Ext
Rear)  when Analog Output is selected, but both jacks go dead when
Analog Headphones are selected.

(The working headphone output under the Analog Output profile can be
hard to notice when speakers are in the rear jack and cranked up!)

Further investigating shows that alsamixer's conception of the Front
channel has to be unmuted along with the headphone switch (choices of
mute or '00' for 'Headphon' in alsamixer) to receive headphone output
(or any output, since at least the rear green line-out depends on this
as well).  Somewhat worse, the switch sometimes must be toggled twice
after muting to actually get sound out the jack - or as I've just
noticed, the Front channel may also need to be 'jiggled' a second time
before it unmutes or raises its volume level from 00.

passing model=6stack to the snd-hda-intel module changed nothing -
though I do note model parameters are device-specific and I'm still
digging around to figure out how much alsa knows about the ALC1200 in
this and future versions.

Now that I've realized the front headphone output *is* working by
default, I see that the rear output at Node 0x14 can be muted with the
alsa hda-analyzer and the front headphone output keeps on playing.


I suppose this means this bug is mainly with gnome-volume-control's idea of 
what the Analog Headphones mixer profile is, with the added confusion of the 
mixer settings not always 'taking' on the first try in alsamixer (although that 
only turned up when I started poking at those channels in alsamixer, never in 
normal use of the regular panel volume control).

The behavior with  Analog Output selected is fine with me (although
one might assume that one is changing levels for the selected
'connector' only, and that this would be the rear connector only under
the Analog Stereo Duplex profile), but clearly Analog Headphones
should not be _disabling_  output from the front jack!

[Bug 768357] [NEW] Natty: Suspend bug(s) on Dell D600 as of 2011-04-21

2011-04-21 Thread floid
Public bug reported:

Yet another recent suspend bug, this time showing up on the Dell D600 with 
first-Centrino-generation-era hardware.
Providing automated collection in case it's any help.

Notes:

1. Problem inspiring filing is that I [fsck'd my system after problem 3
below], ran update-manager around 2011-04-21  USEDT, later Suspend-
ed, and upon attempting resume got a black screen, unresponsive keyboard
LEDs (CapsLock etc), and the disk access light wedged on.  The boot
apport collected from is from using the recovery menu to force fsck if
there's any cruft from that.

2. Suspend [and possibly hibernate, see below] appeared to be working as
recently as at least 2011-04-18 while running update-manager daily.

3. On the evening of local 2011-04-19 I attempted to *Hibernate* the
machine and received a console message to the effect of 'not enough free
memory to hibernate' (512MB RAM/512MB swap, this machine tends to fill
both rapidly).  Rebooting from that I discovered ext4 corruption such
that grub would not recognize the partition.  [Additional variables are
that the HD is a CF card - which does claim write cache is disabled -
and I am using laptop-mode with a ~30 second timeout to hopefully
coalesce some writes and maybe spare it some wear.  Of course I'm also
swapping to it right now, but SMART indications are still good.]  That's
presumably a different (and presumably destructive!) bug that I lack any
further detail for.

4. re: anything else that might look mildly unusual in dmesg, etc: I
have my misbegotten internal rtl8185 wireless card still installed, the
faulty rtl8180 driver has to be blacklisted to not freeze at boot.
There's an old Atheros card in the cardbus slot allowing me to submit
this.

[Bug 616097] Re: Dell D600 - 10.04, 10.10 boot hang (livecd)

2011-03-18 Thread floid
I'm chagrined to report that this continued to be a problem with 11.04
Alpha 3, but removing the third-party-surplus-sourced Arima-branded
RTL8185L wireless card allows the installer to boot flawlessly.

Obviously this is suboptimal for those who manage to have that hardware
present and don't want to rip it out to install.  Unfortunately without
more verbose output even a text boot is not particularly helpful for
debugging just *what* is going haywire and freezing the machine
[apparently around the time it goes to configure that interface].

I have two of the apparently-troublesome cards in two D600s, and the
freeze with the hardware installed reproduces in both of them across a
couple BIOS versions.  That's all I've got so far.

Other OSes [DragonFly BSD, FreeDOS ...] are not as intrinsically
bothered by the RTL8185L card being present.

Popping the card back into a happily installed system results in a
freeze somewhere just after the Radeon drm initializes  and:

* Starting AppArmor profiles;
Skipping profile in /etc/apparmor.d/disable: usr.bin.firefox  [ OK ].

Thoughts on how to proceed will be appreciated.

[Bug 624043] Re: Avahi needs to be restarted after boot to broadcast netatalk services

2011-03-15 Thread floid
This may or may not relate to this bug, and may or may not be the
workaround, but recently [and only recently] became a recurring issue
after accepting some updates on 9.10 machines.

Musing on the source for that mysterious SIGTERM revealed duplicate
up/down scripts for dhclient:

in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1037 2008-07-27 14:35 avahi-autoipd
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1037 2011-03-04 15:51 avahi-autoipd.dpkg-new

in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1039 2008-07-27 14:35 zzz_avahi-autoipd
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1039 2011-03-04 15:51 zzz_avahi-autoipd.dpkg-new

and equivalent mess in /etc/network/if-up.d/ and if-down.d/.

All files diffed identically, so assuming dpkg is at risk to keep making
a mess, I removed the earlier copies and kept *.dpkg-new.  Things now
appear to be working and surviving a networking restart and various
rude pokings of the dhclient.

Hope this helps someone!

2011-03-15 Thread floid
[To clarify *my* issue and discovery: random loss of avahi / mDNS *after
boot* was determined to be due to the duplicate scripts competing in
absurd ways.  This may not have anything to do with a separate race with
netatalk, but I found this bug based on the SIGTERM logged in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avahi/+bug/624043/comments/9
which could be due to the same SNAFU.]

[Bug 475704] Re: Karmic desktop livecd constant kernel ACPI exception messages: AE_LIMIT, Returned by Handler for [SystemIO] 20090521 evregion-424

2010-10-30 Thread floid
@Ton van Vliet:

I'm not in charge and barely know who is.  Since it hasn't been
backported yet [as far as I know - I think my 10.04 machines are
demanding another reboot after auto-updates], ignoring the messages is
certainly one option.

Not to grouse about it [since I've gotten used to it] but the attitude
to LTS releases seems to be if something was broken, don't have any
expectation that 'support' means it should be fixed, 'support' equals
patches for security and major functional issues if a Y2K-type bug pops
up across all systems during the 'support' period.  (Actually, keeping
the zoneinfo package current for the world's ever-changing DST rules is
probably a good example of what 'support' really means.)  So since it
was doing this from day one, this bug is just an ongoing characteristic
('feature'?) of 10.04.

Of course, if we flag someone down by making noise here, the *real*
patch is simple enough now that it's identified that I don't think
anyone could complain about getting it in the tree.


In my brief evaluation of 10.10 I forgot to check whether the kernel with the 
actual patch [and any other changes] would solve the issues with suspend/resume 
on this hardware.  That could be worth checking if suspend/resume is of 
interest to you, I'll have to go back and try it myself.

@Ton van Vliet:

See #20 for a by hand patch for the actual problem - thanks to Frank
Larimer for identifying it there.

This or an equivalent made it into 10.10's kernel as described in my
#22, so 10.10 is the lazy option if you want to upgrade.  [Do I read it
right: The MS compiler generates code with malformed addresses that are
supposed to be 32-bit by the spec, while MS Windows cheerfully ignores
upper 16 bits?  Or is this something the author of the DSDT has to
directly screw up, and Windows' behavior just lets them get away with
it?]

re: 10.10 on these systems, the unrelated noise from the other bug
mentioned in my #22 is actually more intermittent/not nearly so much of
an issue or annoyance as I first thought, if it's not already fixed
anyway [haven't checked since 10.10 went final, it may have been fixed
by now].

Importing or enabling the N,000 messages: Ignoring feature as found in
certain BSDs might not be a bad idea, still...

goes away from a cold boot - it's hardly a big deal - but does imply the 10.10 
RC 'nudged' the hardware into a state to trigger it.

On an identical machine running 9.10 with the same i386
2.6.31-22-generic #65-Ubuntu SMP, I do have history back to boot-time
and there's no such complaint.

Obviously warnings that *never stop* are annoying, but that was only
observed the once.

[Bug 653388] Re: 10.10 RC: serial8250: too much work for irq (Motorola SM56 modem, RS480, SB400)

2010-10-02 Thread floid
Trouble with bug-reporting towards local midnight: I lied in a couple
important ways:

1. I noticed this because it was *continually* flooding dmesg in my
first boot into 10.10 RC; the halt of the messages at [ 335.695389] was
seen on a later boot, and suggests this is an intermittent issue;

2. After announcing that it only occurs with 10.10 RC, I caught a flash
of it while booting back into 9.10, so it may not be a regression and
just have been drowned out by https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/475704 .
However, I've never noticed it mixed in with that bug's noise before, so
the *continuous* complaining first observed must be a rare or new case.

What I did *not* do was properly check the logs under 9.10 to confirm
'that really happened' and I was not just seeing something left in the
framebuffer from the warm reboot.  I'll have to take a look next time
I'm near those machines.

  Previous attempt to file resulted in a Launchpad timeout and lost screed, so

2010-10-01 Thread floid
To my delight, this does appear fixed with:
Linux ubuntu 2.6.35-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Sun Sep 19 20:34:50 UTC 2010 i686 
GNU/Linux
using the current 10.10 RC desktop CD (i386).  I assume the patch referenced in 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/475704/comments/18 landed?

Unfortunately the machine still freezes with no display when resuming
from suspend, probably unrelated.

Unfortunately the ACPI chatter is replaced by as much serial8250: too
much work for irq17 noise, but that's an unrelated bug.*


*Footnote:  Apparently due to presence of this modem, which happens to be 
sharing IRQ17 with the Radeon and AC97 controller, go figure.  Will hunt down 
the right bug for this one...

[Bug 630410] [NEW] Printer properties: Improve Test Page Self Test Page documentation

2010-09-04 Thread floid
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: system-config-printer

Using system-config-printer 1.2.0 on Ubuntu 10.04LTS, I recently
discovered the true difference behind the Print Test Page and Print
Self-Test Page buttons in a printer's properties dialog.  Print Test
Page appears to push the standard Ubuntu test page .ps through CUPS,
and functions as expected.  At the present time, Print Self-Test Page
invokes print_self_test_page() in CUPS' filter/commandtops.c,
recognizable by the short bit of Postscript and % You are using the
wrong driver string spit out as plain text by the printer.

Of course, through the local CUPS httpd, Maintenance-Print a Test
Page prints the official *CUPS* test page (with palette circle and CUPS
logo), while Maintenance-Print a Self Test Page sends the same
Postscript directly to the non-Postscript printer.

---
Problems:

There is no Help available for the printer Properties dialog in
system-config-printer.

Currently the buttons and 'tooltips' available for test pages are:
Print Test Page: 
 CUPS test page

Print Self-Test Page:  
 Typically shows whether all jets on a print head are functioning and that the 
print feed mechanisms are working properly.


Clearly these descriptions are somewhere between confusing and wrong.  I 
would suggest at least amending the buttons and tooltips as follows:

Print Test Page: 
 Print a test page through CUPS as currently configured.

Print Self-Test Page:  
 Send a Postscript script to generate a test page directly to the printer.  
(For Postscript printers.)

---

Now that I encounter these issues (and documentation issues) for the
umpteenth time, I am reminded that we need to do something about
terminology to stop pretending that we have monolithic drivers
(specifically, there's a tendency to try to pretend that the PPD 'is'
the driver, rather than that the PPD 'selects' the driver), and that
it's ever always going to work [because if it's not the vendor driver,
it's libusb, if it's not libusb, it's gs, if it's not gs, it's your
application, and if it's not your application, maybe everything's
working right but something's gone haywire with CUPS' state].

Note that Apple has essentially the *exact* same architecture with the
exact same problems; they just have the benefit of peripheral vendors
caring, and a somewhat slower release cycle (so once something works, it
doesn't get broken by a new patch until next year).


So if we have:

CUPS, providing a standard spooler framework;
The selected PPD, which:
 - Defines the properties of the printer as it appears to 'Postscript' 
applications;
 - Defines the print filter (with RIP, if necessary)
Foomatic, playing the role of 'all-purpose swiss-army print filter 
whether-you-need-a-RIP-or-not'
The RIP itself, in the form of the potentially fiddly vendor or open-source 
'driver', generally relying on Ghostscript
The communications mechanism (also part and parcel of the 'driver')

... Is there a way we can communicate this to the user without making them 
*wish* it was just a binary black box instead?
If Help were actually available (beyond *only* troubleshooting), the article 
could at least make the point that 9 out of 10 of these functions are 
incorporated haphazardly within each driver package for certain commercial 
OSes, and the 'UNIX model' allows standardizing more of the commonly useful 
features (fit-to-page, N-up), and 'minimizing' what can go wrong.

[Never mind that, by the time we get it all figured out, the price of
ink and relatively simpler software issues will have made tablets the
only way to go. ;)]

[Bug 630410] Re: Printer properties: Improve Test Page Self Test Page documentation

2010-09-04 Thread floid
Before I got lost in the wilderness, I wanted to communicate that the
'tip' or expanded documentation for the Print Self-Test Page button
should ideally communicate:

This sends a Postscript script to generate a test page directly to the
printer.  It is meant for Postscript printers, but may confirm
communication by printing Postscript garbage if your printer supports
'plain text.'

It makes no sense to write a novel in the tooltip, but a note about the 'also 
tests communication' could help, too.
Or something could be refactored to store what bytes should be passed for the 
self-test page in the PPD, which would make a lot more sense [unless that 
already exists and just isn't being taken advantage of for my HP].

[Bug 433438] Re: device descriptor read/64, error -110

2010-08-21 Thread floid
I just noticed this 'regression?' on a 32-bit system running the prior
2.6.32.23 [meaning, I observed 'whups, it's broken again' on a machine
that had been running that kernel for days or weeks] and an update to
2.6.32.24.25 did not immediately resolve it.  The majority of USB
devices, including the one I was trying to use [HP OfficeJet v40,
scanner component via scanimage backend in gscan2pdf] are connected to
the ports on the system's SB600 southbridge.  Using the 'unbind' trick
detailed above for the EHCI controller did not help.

This configuration must have been working at some point, or we would
have noticed earlier.  I was at a loss after a few reboots until I tried
a fully cold boot [as opposed to use of both soft-reboots and the reset
switch], at which point the hardware is now 'happy' under 2.6.32.24.25
(and presumably would be under the prior kernel as well).  Accordingly,
please remember to give that a shot... and do mention if it's the only
thing that works, as I suppose there could be an issue with the state
'warm' hardware comes up in.

After the working boot, there is still with the following noise in
dmesg, but the HP on 9-2 has 'always' been petulant like this:

[Bug 616097] [NEW] Dell D600 - 10.04 boot hang (livecd/post-install)

2010-08-10 Thread floid
Public bug reported:

This is being somewhat annoying to track down, so I'm posting with the
minimal information I have in case there's a quick, known fix -- or,
vexingly, if it helps confirm I'm the only person in the world who can
reproduce this problem, since there seem to be other users describing no
issue.

Symptoms:  Attempting to boot from the LiveCD, or from a fresh install
with the alternate CD, results in a hang around the time the boot splash
animation reaches the final 'dot.'  The boot splash animation also comes
up with a corrupt/'psychedelic' palette.  The graphic stays frozen on
the screen, the fan runs, and the keyboard becomes unresponsive, making
troubleshooting annoying.

Booting the alternate CD to the console works.  Somewhat quirkily, an
install from the alternate CD also worked when rebooted after the
apparent hang, but something (a post-install script?) got addled,
because I can both reach the console or startx with no problem, but dbus
was not starting properly and gdm et al. refused to work.  I looked
around for the obvious culprit on *that* but couldn't find it, and right
now I'm trying to remove variables and achieve a normal installation,
not add more.  Since the base system does boot fine in that
circumstance, I guess I'm looking at something more X or firstboot-
related, but I don't know what.

Booting/installing 9.04 or thereabouts actually works, so it does not
seem to be an innate hardware problem - but sitting through upgrades
from there to 'present' is a workaround too awkward to test just yet.


Hardware configuration:
Dell Latitude D600 laptop; 512MB RAM; 1024x768 LCD with what identifies as a 
RV250; only hardware quirks are use of a UDMA CompactFlash card in place of a 
disk and use of a generic Realtek-based miniPCI wireless card.


If someone can summarize the parameters necessary to turn graphical boot off 
and watch dmesg/console up to the point that it hangs, I'd appreciate it.

[Bug 595650] Re: After the last updates HP printer stopped working

2010-07-14 Thread floid
@Cesare Mastroianni:

Regarding the double-sided printing trouble, have you confirmed you are
using the same version of hplip as before the update that gave you the
troublesome libusb (check /var/log/apt/history.log for what else was
installed in the update that gave you libusb-0.1-4 0.1.12-14ubuntu0.1)?
If it's a regression compared to an older hplip, you want to file a bug
against it at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hplip/ .

0.1.12-14 was the libusb-0.1-4 released with lucid [the only version
available until now], and you observed it broken after downgrading back
to that, so it smells like hplip to me.


@world:

I didn't see the .1 in the original versioning, so my advice to use:
aptitude forbid-version libusb-0.1-4=2:0.1.12-14ubuntu0
will exclude the patched patch too, oops!  It should have read:
aptitude forbid-version libusb-0.1-4=2:0.1.12-14ubuntu0.1

If you don't have the lucid-proposed repo enabled, it looks like you can undo 
this overbroad 'forbid-version' by running:
aptitude install libusb-0.1-4=2:0.1.12-14ubuntu0.2
and saying 'No' to its intention to install libusb-0.1-4=2:0.1.12-14ubuntu0.1 
when ...ubuntu0.2 is not available.
Then you can run the correct:
aptitude forbid-version libusb-0.1-4=2:0.1.12-14ubuntu0.1
to only exclude the bad version, and accept ...ubuntu0.2 when it's approved.

2010-07-14 Thread floid
It's fairly common to have the legacy or stable branch of a library
installed concurrently with its current or development branch.  This
generally indicates that the interface [is assumed to have] changed
between libusb-0.1 and libusb-1.0 such that consumers of the former
can't just relink against the latter.

Juggling the version numbers without introducing human error in
referencing them is another matter!

@Cesare Mastroianni:

Try specifying libusb-0.1-4 rather than libusb.

Upstream http://www.libusb.org/ gives some background for that naming
convention [it should be possible to install the legacy libusb-0.1-4
and stable libusb-1.0-0 concurrently if you ever need to], though why
the -4 became codified is beyond me at the moment. :)

It takes this bug to trigger that behavior in gscan2pdf, and without

bad libusb.  So worth documenting here while reporting there. :)

2010-07-07 Thread floid
Tangentially related to this:  If gscan2pdf suddenly refuses to show any
device-dependent options (such as DPI or color vs. grayscale mode) for
the scanner on your multifunction [perhaps due to this bug or side-
effects of attempts to correct it], use the Clear device-dependent
options cache feature in gscan2pdf's Edit-Preferences menu.

This was not terribly obvious, since it takes some exploring to discover
there's a 'cache' - it's on by default, since it cuts out some of the
wait in normal usage.  In my case it cached some sort of corrupt result
while unable to communicate with the scanner, and misled me into
thinking that the scanimage backend must have remained broken.

[Moral of this story:  When in doubt, remember to rename .gscan2pdf
aside, or test under a fresh user account.]

I guess I'll open a bug on gscan2pdf to suggest offering a Refresh
cache? right in the Scan-Options dialog when the cached configuration
is corrupt.

[Bug 602560] [NEW] device-dependent options cache inobvious

2010-07-07 Thread floid
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gscan2pdf

As described over at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/595650/comments/43 and observed
with gscan2pdf-0.9.29-1ubuntu1

Under certain conditions [#595650], the device-dependent options cache
can become corrupt [for a particular combination of backend and device]
and begin displaying a blank options dialog.  Even advanced users may
not be aware a cache exists and will spend time hunting elsewhere.

Possible fixes:
* Detect a 'blank' device-dependent options state and present a very noticable 
'Refresh cache?' button; [Clever]
* Detect a 'blank' device-dependent options state and automatically try to 
refresh the cache; [Good idea; loop-prone?]
* Squish a small 'Refresh' icon into the 'Options' tab of the Scan dialog under 
all circumstances to hint that a cache exists and can be refreshed; [Easiest to 
implement, nonmodal]
* Stop enabling the cache by default [Solves the problem, but pessimistic to 
responsiveness]

I'm going to attach the .gscan2pdf which triggers this, cwd and serial
numbers REDACTED; of course the device URI has to be edited to match a
detected device to actually get the program to use the bad cache.

@Johan Stenlund, and anyone else stymied, the incantation you are
looking for is:

aptitude forbid-version libusb-0.1-4=2:0.1.12-14ubuntu0

(Or use apt-get's same 'downgrade' feature directly.)

It would also help [me] to remember that /var/log/apt/history.log exists
when trying to recover from a bad update.  (Has anyone thought of having
update-manager create and install local meta-package .debs instead of
installing directly for ease of backing out after a SNAFU?  Does apt
even support that?  Belongs on Brainstorm, not in this bug, but I'll
type it here while it's fresh...)

Nice detective work on this one!

[Bug 544994] Re: the rhythmbox mtp code hijacks cameras

2010-05-01 Thread floid
If it was fixed in 0.12.8-0ubuntu2 it's now regressed in 0.12.8-0ubuntu3
on my fresh Lucid upgrade.

lsof snippet:
gvfs-gpho 6062  floid   13u  CHR189,146  0t02544556

rhythmbox 6244  floid   43u  CHR189,146  0t02544556 
/dev/bus/usb/002/019

Rhythmbox gets hung up sleeping (Sl state) as soon as the camera is
connected / if it is run with the camera connected.

This causes the ever-complained-of Error mounting location: Error
initializing camera: -60: Could not lock the device from gphoto2 and
its consumers.  At some point I got a -1 error out of it as well.

Of course it's an unexpected race depending whether
gphoto2/F-Spot/similar is run before Rhythmbox or not.  But with
Rhythmbox closed, the device actually works as a PTP camera in F-Spot,
much to my relief, and it even gvfs mounts (so turns out I'm not
affected by another bug I thought I was).

2010-04-28 Thread floid
I did some scraping around after my last comment and determined that the
closest thing to a proper venue 'upstream' would be
http://acpica.org/bugzilla/ , but someone ought to do due-diligence and
make sure the collateral issues in #7 here aren't magically resolved in
their bleeding-edge code first.

(Again, the patch regarding the ByteAcc vs. WordAcc should fix the bug
found here, but the fatal compiler errors about the _PSW method smell
like they could be due to changes between the version of the ACPI
standard the original authors of the HPaq code targeted vs. what iasl
supports compiling.  Determining the correct workaround for *that* seems
to require someone who can parse the actual workings of the code, rather
than just respond to 'obvious' error messages as I did. :))

I have a bunch of other stuff on my plate at the moment [real life/the

someone with a bit more familiarity (half a clue) to 'port' around that

Thought I'd heard something about this and was glad to find the
background here.

I was reminded while catching both the punt-users-on-shutdown-warning
and CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor applet being smart enough to ask for
the password for the local superuser while e.g. Synaptic still doesn't.

I'll mark myself affected since it would be convenient to run Synaptic
from a running X session without having to ssh -X localhost as my
privileged user*, but it's more a wishlist for 10.04 than a killer bug
here.

*On that particular machine, to avoid dozens of what's-the-password?
calls, I put the 'usual' unprivileged user into a localusers group, gave
it a hard random password, and rigged up some pam magic to make a local
login through gdm sufficient without a password.  This apes Windows'
behavior for users without passwords - and if anyone is looking for a
project, it'd be nice to codify that as a feature in Ubuntu so I don't
have to remember what I did there on every upgrade. ;)

browser plugin or natively in Totem.  I haven't fiddled with any of the
gconf settings, I did go in and tell Totem I have 1.5Mbps
T1/Intranet/LAN (which is true, 1.5mbit/s ATT DSL - though that does
mean it craps out just shy of a full 1.5mbits after PPP and line
overhead).  I could go in and poke at it, but I shouldn't really have
to, right?

More annoying is the failure to cache, combined with a failure to seek
properly [either refuses to seek back at all or jumps back to 0:00],
which I've been hunting for the (surely-existing) bug for.

Seen with
http://static.tvpaint.com/community/gallery/content/Filmakademie_Urs_Trailer.mp4
and other sample content on that site if anyone's looking for more test
cases.

@#29: mplayer has been the de-facto I-just-want-it-to-work-on-UNIX
player for a while (and still has major performance advantages on sub-
GHz systems), but gstreamer and Totem are supposed to offer GNOME the
conveniences DirectShow and Quicktime do for the Other Major Platforms.
So it'd be nice if they actually functioned properly.

[Bug 475704] Re: Karmic desktop livecd constant kernel ACPI exception messages: AE_LIMIT, Returned by Handler for [SystemIO] 20090521 evregion-424

2010-01-30 Thread floid
Hmm.  Happened to be at the machine when I saw the last comment, so I decided 
to poke at it.
Attempting to recompile my SR1611NX DSDT with iasl (note that the -dc option 
doesn't seem to be working as advertised, but simply running `iasl DSDT.dsl` 
works at the expense of obliterating the contents of the directory, and `iasl 
-c DSDT.dsl` will try the same but create an empty .aml and a populated .src - 
I guess because the errors prevent it from actually generating the .aml).

I know slightly less than enough about ACPI to be dangerous; this is
what I've been able to figure out thus far:

Our troublesome GPE.L09 is a General Purpose Event register.. but I
wish I had a clue what that SMFN method that relates to it is
[supposed to be] doing.


As to what iasl dislikes (but MSFT Compiler Version 0x010E (16777230) 
obviously was happy to generate):

In the STOS method:

DSDT.dsl   410: WBYT (TSAD, 0x4F, Local0)
Error4050 -^ Method local variable is not 
initialized (Local0)

...the failure to initialize can be cured by a Store (Zero, Local0)
before that line.  I'm not sure if that's really the right thing to do
or not since I have no clue what it's writing to and how the MSFT
compiler would treat the unassigned variable [looks like the arguments
there are address, command, data].


DSDT.dsl  1406: Name (_PSW, 0x01)
Error4078 -  ^ Reserved name must be a control

DSDT.dsl  1428: Name (_PSW, 0x01)

method (with arguments)

DSDT.dsl  1450: Name (_PSW, 0x01)
Error4078 -  ^ Reserved name must be a control 
method (with arguments)

These are tricky; thus far all I've found is that _PSW (power state
wake) was part of ACPI 1.0, and was deprecated by ACPI 3.0 - but
'deprecated' shouldn't mean 'keels over and fails,' right?  Or is
something very malformed here?


DSDT.dsl  2985: Field (SECF, WordAcc, NoLock, Preserve)
Error4027 -   ^ Access width is greater than region size

DSDT.dsl  2987: SCFN,   8
Error4028 -^ Access width of Field Unit extends beyond 
region limit

Could be the big culprit -

Mutex (FLMX, 0x00)
OperationRegion (SECF, SystemMemory, 0x000F97E0, 0x01)
Field (SECF, WordAcc, NoLock, Preserve)
{
SCFN,   8
}

...it's trying to access a region declared to be byte-sized with the
WordAcc size.  Using ByteAcc instead cures that.



[Bug 433817] Re: Gnome hang

2010-01-25 Thread floid
This is an annoyance and can also occur with gnome-panel alone (I am not
a Gnome Do user, but just got into a 'stuck' drag situation accidentally
dragging from Nautilus to the Window List or vice-versa).  At least, I
assume gnome-panel is part of the problem, but killing both Nautilus and
it failed to release the drag.  Removing and replugging the USB mouse
got some limited keyboard focus back, but also didn't release the drag
this time, and window manager bindings were still hosed (no Alt-Tab or
workspace switching).   [Hmm... not a Compiz user there either, maybe I
should've given metacity a kick.]

This observed on Karmic, wherein the Xorg cursor remains stuck as the drag and 
copy cursor similar to:
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/draft_hig_new/images/input-drag-cursor.png
and no clicks are passed through / the icon is impossible to 'drop.'

Expected behavior would be for the 'stickiness' to not happen in the first 
place and for Escape to release it if it does.  
Anyone know if there's a bug upstream for this?
