[Bug 286419] Re: mkfontscale crashed with signal 7 in FT_Stream_ReadLong()

2009-10-13 Thread mjbrooks
This happens to me fairly randomly and it doesn't even require that I do
anything. For example, there was no error last night but I left my
system on all night and when I checked it in the morning, the error had
occurred.

Is this related to having custom fonts installed?

opatchinstall(3).log is showing that the error code being thrown is

I believe error code 0x80004005 is related to windows licensing

[Bug 429003] Re: [karmic] Xorg (and anything GLX) crashes on startup

2009-09-13 Thread mjbrooks
If you're stuck with a black screen on boot because of this and can't
seem to CTRL_ALT+F1 press ALT+PRINTSCREEN+R to release the keyboard from
the Xserver. You can then hit CTRL+ALT+F1 to get a TTY

If you just want to get around the issue you can use the NV driver by
editing xorg.conf

sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Then edit the part that reads:

Section Device
Driver nvidia

to:

Section Device
Driver nv

Save the file and then reboot (or in Kubuntu /etc/init.d/kdm restart or
in Ubuntu /etc/init.d/gdm restart). That should get your desktop up and
running, minus any extra video effects requiring compositing

At least some people reported that that works, however, although I could
see the KDM login screen, X would crash when I tried getting in, so I
had to remove nvidia altogether. Again at the terminal (and assuming you
are using v185):

sudo apt-get purge nvidia-glx-185 nvidia-185-kernel-source

and then after a /etc/init.d/kdm restart I was good to go


For those interested in downgrading the troublesome packages temporarily so 
they can keep using compositing, but aren't sure how:

If you've been on Karmic for a bit, you probably already have the
packages needed in /var/cache/apt/archives/

sudo dpkg -i --force-downgrade 
/var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.10.1-0ubuntu9_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i --force-downgrade 
/var/cache/apt/archives/libc6-i686_2.10.1-0ubuntu9_i386.deb

If not you can grab them from
http://archive.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/pool/main/e/eglibc/

I also had the dev package installed, so I needed to downgrade that due
to dependencies:

sudo dpkg -i --force-downgrade
/var/cache/apt/archives/libc6-dev_2.10.1-0ubuntu9_i386.deb


Keep in mind, that unless you pin these they will be updated back to the broken 
ones if you apply an update (and it will be reported as there being an update 
available as soon as you do this), so either pin them or wait for this bug to 
be reported as resolved before doing another update.

Lastly, I heard a couple of people say that manually installing the
NVidia driver from NVidia's website fixed their troubles, however I
can't confirm this personally and it would really only be a last resort
solution for an end user anyways. So since the point of Alpha 5 is to
work out the bugs, going this route means you aren't at all interested
in helping to fix the issue or identify others down the road and really
shouldn't be on Karmic in the first place... let alone complaining about
things getting broken in an ALPHA DEVELOPMENT release.

[Bug 105725] Odd KDE desktop switch behavior with active screen edges

2007-04-11 Thread mjbrooks
Public bug reported:

On Kubuntu Feisty (all updates applied) on an HP Pavillion dv6000 series
laptop:

I have 4 desktops with the active screen edges enabled. The pager in the panel 
is at it's defaults, so the layout looks like:
___
| 1 | 2 |
--
| 3 | 4 |
--

Assuming for a moment that I'm on desktop 1 (the behavior occurs
similarly regardless of which desktop, I'm on), if I move my mouse to
the right edge of the screen, normally I should get to Desktop 2, but
instead I end up on Desktop 3. If I instead move my mouse to the bottom
edge of the screen from Desktop 1, I get to Desktop 2, instead of
Desktop 3. In other words, up/down acts like  left/right and left/right
acts like up/down.

Now, if I configure the pager in the panel to be a single row:
_
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
---

It works as it should, 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 then back to the left 4 - 3 -
2 -1 etc.

After that, if I configure the pager back to automatic (or even
explicitly set it to 2 rows), it behaves correctly... as in, from
Desktop 1, moving right gets me to D2 or down gets me to D3, etc.

Not a show stopper, but definitely odd.

My apologies ahead of time if this is a dupe, but I couldn't find a bug
on it in launchpad.

[Bug 92667] Re: bad seing of the Desktop on a DELL and the live cd

2007-03-18 Thread mjbrooks
I have an Inspiron 8000 with an ATI Rage Mobiliy M4 and a 1600x1200
screen.

I can confirm that this is a multi-distribution problem that I believe
is specific to Xorg (either how it handles its auto-probing or more
likely, the settings it has for Dell laptop screens) as it seems to go
all the way back to when all the distros switched over from XFree86 to
Xorg.

Prior to the switch my monitor got auto-probed fine by distros using
XFree86, but Xorg seems to bungle it. As a result, any auto-probed
configuration from ANY distro that uses Xorg (including all versions and
releases of *buntu, Fedora, etc) makes the screen look like it's been
spliced vertically into 4 semi-overlapping sections. It makes it
impossible to navigate.

The graphics card appears to be detected fine, it just seems to be a
screen modeline issue.

Until it gets fixed I have to boot using the safe video mode. This
gets me into X using vesa but the resolution is at 800x600. I then go to
system configuration and change my monitor to Generic Flat Panel
1600x1200 and restart X. I've tried changing it to the Dell Laptop
1600x1200 option, which is what worked in XFree86, but then the
splicing problem returns. Which is why I think it's a problem with the
settings Xorg has for my screen)
