Sure, no problem.

Re: [Bug 183428] Re: Boot fails with 2.6.24-4 with initramfs error on 6.06, 7.04.7.10

2008-02-06 Thread sparc128
I had similiar issue with 7.10 on Apple PPC G3 platform.  The source of the
problem was that initramfs was missing IDE driver for my hardware.   The
problem only occured after install.  The LiveCD had the driver.

I basically followed the procedure listed at bottom of this
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=588153 from Efrain
Valleshttp://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=51963
to fix the problem.  It basically rebuilts the initramfs with the missing
driver.  I don't know the driver you need so you will probably have to
perform lsmod | grep ide  or lsmod | grep ata from liveCD to find listed
drivers.

[Bug 183428] Boot fails with 2.6.24-4 with initramfs error on hardy

2008-01-15 Thread sparc128
Public bug reported:

Upgraded 7.10 64bit to 8.04 64bit and it works fine with 2.6.24-2
kernel.  Can not boot with 2.6.24-3 or -4 since it can't find hard disk.
Disabled splash and quiet from grub and last message before failure on
boot-up is:

floppy0: no floppy controllers found

Then get message that it can't find hard disk and initramfs error.
Don't know how to capture better error message.

[Bug 183430] firefox freezing after latest hardy updates

2008-01-15 Thread sparc128
Public bug reported:

Firefox 2.0.11 under 64bit Hardy alpha 1 was working fine.  After
updates of something in the past 3-4 days, it now freezes for a few
seconds for all sites (or  just about every  site).  Firefox is
basically unusable in current form.  It was fine at initial alpha 2
updates.  Now every time a second tab is opened, the whole browser
freezes.  The freezing is not permanent.  I just need to wait 3-5
seconds for response.  CPU activity is low during the freeze state.  I
Installed epiphany for test and it seems fine.  No add-ons installed on
Firefox.

[Bug 108784] totem could not read from resource on Real Audio stream

2007-04-21 Thread sparc128
Public bug reported:

Feisty 7.04 with 2.6.20-15.  x86 32bit

Attempting to play this audio stream. 
http://cbc.ca/asithappens/media/dailyshow/2007-04-19-aih1.ram

Firefox help application shows Totem as default application for this
download.  Totem launches and produces error An error occurred. Could
not read from resource   After googling, I find out that this is
RealAudio stream.   I should of received codec warning that totem does
not support realAudio and to install Realplayer 10.

Looks like Gnome/Gstreamer bug reported here:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=319449

Newbie, would not be able to find solution for this...need more user
friendly warning until Totem/Gstreamer bug is resolved.  Or Ubuntu
should prompt to install RealPlayer10 and setup the plugin within
Firefox.

BTW, Great job on the codec automatic handling on 7.04..

[Bug 108791] realplayer10 install does not automatically setup Firefox .ram handling

2007-04-21 Thread sparc128
Public bug reported:

Feisty 7.04 x86 32bit

Trying to listen to this RealAudio stream
http://cbc.ca/asithappens/media/dailyshow/2007-04-19-aih1.ram

Helixplayer totally useless since it does not support this format.  Had
no choice but to install RealPlayer 10.0.8.805 from commercial
applications.  While it installs, it does not configure itself to
automatically handle this stream.  I had to manually select realplayer
from /usr/bin and make it default application.  Solution is not
acceptable to newbie since he/she would have no idea what real player
binary is called or where it is located.Totem codec handling
improvements work great for Microsoft and Apple formats but does not
support platform neutral vendor Real?  Ubuntu needs to better support
vendors who are Linux friendly.   Real is sole or secondary format for
many National public broadcast news sites like CBC Canada, BBC UK, ABC
Australia's (http://www.cbc.ca/radioshows/, http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/
http://www.abc.net.au/rn/encounter/default.htm).  If WMA and MOV formats
are relatively painless on 7.04, the Real formats should be also.  I
realize that Real is special case since WMA and MOV support are handled
within Totem.

BTW, installing Realplayer under WinXP for this same file was painless
since it automatically updated Firefox to support it within the external
Realplayer application.

This bug should be forwarded to Real since they are responsible for
application installation issues?  If yes, inform them they are pushing
Ubuntu users to select Windows Media player over Real Player since
Ubuntu automatically makes Windows Media Format the better supported
format

I did notice that Real .rpm streams seem to work fine with Firefox.

I can confirm that this can be fixed by applying workaround suggested in

which is :

Can you guys please temporarily move away
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-storage-policy.fdi, then reboot
and check if it works then? If so, then bug 63090 would be the root

[Bug 97682] Re: bcm43xx firmware not available - bcm 4318 wireless card not working

2007-04-06 Thread sparc128
I take it back.  Not sure how or why but under 7.04 with 2.6.20-14, I
was able to get it working with BCM4306.   As I always try the newbie
method (pure GUI), I was only able to get it working by using the Gnome
Network Applet Control (left click on applet in Gnome panel).   I then
selected connect to other wireless network.  I then type essid and
specified no wireless security.   It then connected and worked fine.
Going back to Gnome Network Setttings (system - administation), I could
then select roaming mode and that worked now too.  It seems the trick
was adjusting some setting in the Applet first.  I tried duplicating
this problem and can not.  If I knew what settings files were updated, I
would reset them and try this again.

 Dumb question :  Why does Network Settings - wireless device -
properties not have Security None like edgy.  It only has WEP ASCII
and WEP HEX.  Shouldn't None be there?

2007-04-04 Thread sparc128
This should not be rejected since this is real problem.  I am using
BCM4306 under 6.10 with firmware method and it works.  I download the
firmware package from http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/pool/edgy-
cafuego/bcm43xx/bcm43xx-firmware_1.3-1ubuntu2_all.deb.  This method is
not the most stable but I am trying to avoid ndiswrapper solution.  This
firmware package does not work under feisty.

Under 7.04 2.6.20-13, I tried the Ubuntu repos and got nowhere.  I first
install bcm43xx-fwcutter (from feisty repo) and then it prompted for
firmware (which I installed).  I got nothing from network-manager with
this solution and it does not even show anything from dmesg.   The
firmware is under /lib/firmware just like 6.10

[Bug 99276] User and Groups does not inform user that manual UID already exists and create user groups.

2007-03-30 Thread sparc128
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

Scenario :  System has 100+ accounts.
Admin adds user from User and Groups 

Novice Admin decides for whatever reason they will specify the UID
manually for the next account in the Advanced tab.  They assume system
will not allow duplicate UID so he does not verify UID in /etc/passwd.
If the admin enters UID already assigned, GUI does not notify him that
account was not created.  Users and Groups completes the Add User
function with no warnings or error message.

To make things worse, the following happens:

1) Personal user group is created in /etc/group.
2) GUI shows the new User Account in User Settings.

User thinks everything is good.   However, when user opens and closes
the Users and Groups GUI, the new account disappears from the User
Setting GUI.

The GUI should not be showing the new account in the first place since
nothing was placed in /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow.

Performing same operation for command line tool adduser informs admin
that account already exists.
