[Bug 931114] Re: Regression in html5 video support in FF 10 11

I don't know if the bug still exists; I no longer use Ubuntu as a
desktop, partly because of bugs like this impeding my workflow.

[Bug 836250] Re: [Oneiric] [Regression] Intel Corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 poor networking, packet loss and very slow Lenovo X201 and T500 laptops

2012-05-17 Thread zeitkunst
Unfortunately, my solution in comment #203 doesn't work anymore; I now
get the dreaded denied authentication (status 17) even on the older
kernel mentioned in that comment.  This happens on both open networks
and those using TTLS with PAP authentication.

Is there _any_ known working kernel/module/firmware for this chipset
(Centrino 6300)?  Older or bleeding edge, I don't care.  Not having
wireless while on my university campus (because this problem only seems
to rear its head when trying to connect to enterprise networks) is not
only debilitating from a work point of view, but also embarrassing and
professionally problematic.  If there is anything to test I'll test it.
And while I don't want to disparage the developers working on it, I find
it also problematic that so many people are having problems with their
wireless (in 2012!) and that this bug still exists.

Any progress on this bug?

Or, any suggestions on how to downgrade (on Oneiric or Precise) to a
Natty kernel, since that doesn't appear to have this bug?  The bug makes
it impossible to do any work on my campus' wireless networks.

2012-05-11 Thread zeitkunst
I can confirm that the latest Natty kernel I was able to find from the
Kernel Team PPA (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-
ppa/mainline/v2.6.38.8-natty/), along with options iwlagn
11n_disable=1, has so far solved my wireless problems on Oneiric 64bit
with the following Centrino card:

[  283.518066] iwlagn :02:00.0: Detected Intel(R) Centrino(R)
Ultimate-N 6300 AGN, REV=0x74

For good measure, uname -a:

Linux x 2.6.38-02063808-generic #201106040910 SMP Sat Jun 4 09:13:01
UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

If anyone knows a more recent kernel that doesn't have this bug, please
let me know.  Otherwise, I'm sticking with it; having working wireless
is worth it!

[Bug 931114] Re: Regression in html5 video support in FF 10 11

2012-02-18 Thread zeitkunst
I am adding information from a gdb session which involves the
aforementioned behavior while trying to watch the HTML5 ogg video at
this URL:

http://www.kaltura.org/apis/html5lib/kplayer-
examples/Player_Themable.html

Note that in contrast to my previous comments, the entire Firefox UI
becomes unresponsive when the HTML5 hangs.  Audio again continues
playing, probably due to my jackd routing.  In order to produce the
stack trace I had to send SIGINT in the debugger after the video hung.
Following the bug reporting guidelines I've included info from bt full
and thread apply all backtrace full.

If it might help, this is the version of the nvidia drivers I am using:

nvidia-current:
  Installed: 295.20-0ubuntu1~natty~xup1
  Candidate: 295.20-0ubuntu1~natty~xup1
  Version table:
 *** 295.20-0ubuntu1~natty~xup1 0

amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
 270.41.06-0ubuntu1 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/restricted amd64 Packages

Note, however, that these videos play fine in earlier versions of FF and
in standalone players such as VLC.  As far as I can tell, this is a FF-
specific bug.

Please let me know if there is more information I can provide regarding
this bug.  My workaround at the moment is to use FF 9.0.1 downloaded
from the Mozilla FTP servers.  I really don't want to have to use older,
unsupported versions of Firefox in order to have proper html5 video
support.

[Bug 931114] [NEW] Regression in html5 video support in FF 10 11

2012-02-12 Thread zeitkunst
Public bug reported:

I have observed a regression in HTML5 video support in Firefox 10 and
11.  With Firefox 9, HTML5 videos encoded in either Theora or webm
played flawlessly.  With Firefox 10 and 11, the video component will
randomly stop playing, while the audio component will continue.  This
occurs no matter if I'm watching the video in a window or fullscreen.
I've observed this on locally-produced HTML pages as well as the HTML5
test videos on the Kaltura site.  Note that my audio is being routed
through jack, which might explain why the audio continues playing while
the video stops.  Firefox itself does not become unresponsive, however
the HTML5 component does.

This is a severe regression for me and makes it impossible to embed
HTML5 videos in the HTML presentations I produce.

What I expect to happen: HTML5 videos encoded in Ogg Theora/webm to play
flawlessly

What actually happens: HTML5 videos encoded in Ogg Theora/webm randomly
stop playing

[Bug 646482] Re: banshee fails to see mounted mass storage media player

2010-10-12 Thread zeitkunst
This bug is unfortunately not fixed for me with banshee 1.8.0 from the
team PPA on Lucid.  Nothing shows up in Banshee upon inserting my iPod
running Rockbox.  I've enabled both mass media and MTP support.  I've
added an .is_audio_player file in the root of the device, and the iPod
is found properly in Rhythmbox.  The iPod is a 2nd gen (i.e., one of the
very old ones) running the latest Rockbox available for the device.  I'm
not sure what could be going on to cause it not to appear in Banshee,
given that it shows up on Rhythmbox.  I've attached the debug output,
but I'm not sure how useful it will be given that nothing appears in the
output when the iPod is inserted.

  Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
 Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been
 any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue
 for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

   
As far as I can tell, the files are not set as editable anymore, so I
would say it's been fixed.

I want to add my support to this...biblatex is becoming the standard way
of formatting bibliographies in latex and its always one of the first
things I have to install when I setup Ubuntu systems.  Either going
upstream and asking that this be included in TeXLive, or packaging it
separately within Ubuntu would be appreciated.

[Bug 270194] [NEW] Firefox saves files opened via an external viewer as editable in /tmp

2008-09-14 Thread zeitkunst
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

This occurs in an up-to-date release of Ubuntu 8.04.1.

Firefox saves opened files as editable in /tmp, meaning that any edits
to the file are lost on reboot.

To reproduce:

1.  Open a file (such as *.doc or *.odt) from a link in Firefox, launching an 
external viewer.
2.  Make some edits to the file.
3.  Save the file.
4.  Logout and reboot.
5.  Find that your file is not there anymore because /tmp was erased.

_This is data loss, pure and simple._

The desired behavior should be one or more of the following:

 * Files opened via an external viewer should still be saved in the downloads 
folder (wherever the user has set it)
 * Files opened via an external viewer should be saved in /tmp with read-only 
bits set, so that the user has to rename/move the file when saving.

Firefox should not allow the user to open and edit a file in a location
that is known to be erased.  Any behavior like this is reckless with the
user's data.  The user should not be assumed to know that /tmp is erased
on reboot, nor be assumed to know that opened files get saved somewhere
different than saved files; if Ubuntu were Slackware or Gentoo, then
perhaps.  But Ubuntu prides itself on user-friendliness, and I have to
say that this bug has caused myself and others much data loss on a
number of occasions.  I cannot in good conscience recommend Ubuntu to
others if bugs like this--that cause data loss, remember--are allowed to
exist.
