please excuse me, Bruce, but do you mean for me to install that package?
I'd be very grateful if you would tell me how.

[Bug 534012] [NEW] [karmic] Only low graphics mode on IBM X40 with Intel 855gm after external monitor crash using docking-station

2010-03-07 Thread markling
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

My graphics has gone kaput on Karmic.

Machine: IBM X40
Graphics: Intel 82852/855GM Int. Graphics Device (rev 02)
Docking station: X4 Ultrabase

My machine has got stuck in low graphics mode after an error.

Background
-

The graphics have been working fine on Karmic with the exception of some
issues relating to an external monitor and X40 docking-station. But this
combo has led to a more serious problem.

Usually, redocking with external screen on would cause the system to
tell me there was a problem resolving the screen resolution. If I tried
to reset it with the GUI screen resolution tool, it would tell me that
software acceleration would be required. I would decline to do this,
because such requests were not normal, and reset the machine instead.
The graphics would be back to normal on reboot.

The error-causing event
-

Instead of ignoring the prompt for software acceleration, as I usually
do, I accepted it.

The system then gave the following error:

Your screen, graphics card and input device settings could not be
detected correctly. You will need to configure them yourself.

Outcome
-

On reboot, the system says the graphics aren't working and I can only
operate in low graphics mode.

P.S.
-
-

Bug reporting problem

Now I have nearly completed my bug report, I see that it says under this window 


xorg (Ubuntu) guidelines:
Please report bugs against xorg with this command:

  $ ubuntu-bug -p xorg

For more tips on effective bug reporting against Ubuntu Xorg packages,
please see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Reporting and thanks ahead of time!

I used the following command:

$ ubuntu-bug xorg

I shall go back and use the -p to file a report. But seeing as I've got
this far with the one I was already doing, I'm going to send it in case
this is the most effective option.

[Bug 534012] Re: [karmic] Only low graphics mode on IBM X40 with Intel 855gm after external monitor crash using docking-station

2010-03-07 Thread markling
Two crucial items of information about the bug:

1. Before the crash occurred, the X40 laptop was attached to the docking
station, its monitor and the external monitor were both on, and the
desktop spread across them both. The following then happened:

- The laptop was removed from the docking station while still on.
- The laptop screen corrected itself to display the full desktop that had 
previously been displayed across both screens
- The laptop was replaced on the docking station. The external monitor was 
still powered up.
- The system reported problem resolving screen resolution, and the rest is as 
described in my bug report.

2. Since this problem occured there has been another crippling problem
with my graphics: I cannot get the laptop graphics to work at all if I
attempt to switch it on when it is not attached to the docking station.
If I attempt to switch it on without being attatched to the docking
station, the system doesn't boot far enough to give me the 'graphics not
working properly' error. If I attach the machine to the docking station
and then switch it on, it will work but only in low-graphics mode.

(P.S. I re-reported this bug using -p with the ubuntu-bug command and
linked that report to this one. hopefully that's given all the info you
need).

Re: [Bug 361205] Re: Tracker uses notifications with actions when the index is corrupt

2009-05-23 Thread markling
teledyn, i'm with you all the way.

yes, we are all in it together. yes, each of us contributes what we can. 
that is the beauty of open source, that both of these statements can be 
true; that those who can only contribute a little are not denied an 
equal share of the produce of our combined effort.

even those people who only have the time and knowledge to *use* linux 
are making an invaluable contribution. its a big step for non-technical 
users weaned on microsoft to make. many of these users also contribute 
in other areas, in answer to other responsibilities, in different ways. 
we cannot presume to know their priorities.

so three cheers for those who have contributed so much to make it work 
and, like chris, continue to do so. three cheers also for those for whom 
contributing what they can is not so much, but still as much as they can.

:)

 Markling, we feel your pain but please understand that this is

 beta-testing; you and I and Chris are all of us the QA dept, the Dev
 Shop and the Consumer, rolled into one -- we're all in this together.
 that's the whole point ;)
 
 fortunately, these days, with semi-intelligent package managers like
 apt, it is relatively easy to remove and re-install (and roll-back)
 individual packages, esp something like trackerd that has few
 dependencies, so the danger to your workstation is minimal, although
 yes, it will cost a bit of your time.
 
 but that is the point of opensource; each of us contributes what we can
 and together we make the magic happen :)

2009-05-14 Thread markling
scuse me, chris. i don't mean to be rude. i've also not had the problem 
arise again for a couple of days. i've hesitated to implement the 
package because this being the only machine on which i can earn a 
living, i'm reluctant to risk a spanner in its works. and having just 
made the transition from user to bug reporter i think its too soon just 
yet to beta testing anything but urgent fixes.

all the best

[Bug 361205] Re: Tracker uses notifications with actions when the index is corrupt

2009-05-08 Thread markling
I had an error report like this from Tracker Applet this morning:


Tracker
There was an error while performing indexing
Index corrupted


It asked me if I wanted to [reindex], [cancel] or [OK]

Neither [cancel] nor [OK] worked. The error window just popped right
back at me like it was the terminator. I'd rather not ask it to reindex
because i have no idea what it is and my machine's already running like
an old dog since i installed Jaunty the other day.

This may have some bearing on the matter: I had an external drive
connected the day before yesterday.

Hello Chris

Thanks for your message. Which logs do you need? And how do you want 
them? I.e. should I cut and paste recent or just attach the whole file/s?

It is the official version of 3 I downloaded from the openoffice.org 
website.

Cheers

Mark.

[Bug 322962] [NEW] Word processor drops out

2009-01-29 Thread markling
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

The word processor is dropping out without warning, losing work if not
saved.

It is happening pretty much every time a try and work with a particular
document. It includes words pasted from a website with but one or two
embedded 1.5x3inch photos. It appears that the document might stay open
long enough for me to delete the photos, but its touch and go - I can
get there first sometimes, but this is no way to work. The document is
only a few pages long. Aside from the photos there is nothing else but
text and a light peppering of active html links.

I don't know if this is a related problem, but I have had the whole
computer freezing up regularly since Friday as well. The freezes
happened while using openoffice, though other applications were running
(Skype, Thunderbird, Firefox). The only way to solve that one is to pull
the plug.

I keep losing my work. Someone on the Ubuntu forums said, well you
shouldn't have upgraded to Ibex on your work machine. Well, if someone
had told me before hand... ;-)

Anyways. Great software. I recommend it to other people. But I can't
keep losing my work.

cheers

markling.

Public bug reported:

Error: failed to extract the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) files. (exit code 7)

I'm trying to install 3.0 because 2 keeps crashing under Ibix and losing
my work. But the install doesn't appear to be working. I looked on the
openoffice website and its installation instructions only give rather
frightening looking command line instructions. Is there somewhere I can
point and click to sort this out?

thanks
