[Bug 211631] Re: Network is brought down before network filesystems are unmounted (CIFS timeout at shutdown)

2011-05-23 Thread Mike Perrin
On a functional level perhaps it is worth considering whether Network
Manager, on stopping, should simply leave the interfaces as currently
configured instead of taking them down. I can make the argument that
Network Manager is a tool to make it easy for the user to control
network interfaces, but Network Manager is not the owner of those
interfaces, the system and user are. If the user makes a connection
using Network Manger and then disables NM, why shouldn't the interface
stay up until the user or a shutdown sequence takes it down?

 Mike thats a great point and I think would be a design change for NM.
 It might then be best to bring that up with the upstream developers.

 As it stands now, NM does in fact own a network interface that it is
 set to manage, and so, we must architect the system around that.

[Bug 211631] Re: Network is brought down before network filesystems are unmounted (CIFS timeout at shutdown)

2011-06-12 Thread Mike Perrin
I have two machines running 11.04 with a wireless connection. I was able
to get a clean shutdown on both by changing the link to
/etc/init.d/umountnfs.sh in /etc/rc0.d and /etc/rc6.d from
S31umountnfs.sh to K15umountnfs.sh. This is a workaround, not a fix, as
it simply starts the cifs/nfs file unmounting script earlier in the
shutdown process.

[Bug 208531] Re: Samba update breaks nautilus network browsing

2008-04-02 Thread Mike Perrin
Steve,

Thanks, your suggestion fixed my problem connecting to the private
share, although the correct syntax is client lanman auth = yes. The
bizarre behavior I reported when connecting through the network browser
to the public share SD_MMC_c still exists, however.

I probably should have Read The Fine Man page for smb.conf before
posting, but grepping for lanman in smb.conf on both 8.04 beta and
Fedora 8 produced no result and I gave up prematurely.

May I suggest that the smb.conf file in the final version of 8.04 should at 
least contain the appropriate line, commented out, with explanatory notation 
such as:
# Older servers may not support the higher level of default security for
# password negotiation and may require uncommenting the following line.
;   client lanman auth = yes

Adding those lines to smb.conf is not very helpful for live CD boot,
however, since the command line would need to be uncommented each time
it is started, presuming no persistence. And if the default were changed
for live CD boot only, it would fail after installation. This may be a
case of shooting ourselves in the foot. We want people to try Ubuntu,
but when they do they may not be able to connect to existing Windows or
samba shares. Their response is likely to be doesn't work, I don't want
to deal with it. This seems a classic example of technical correctness
overcoming intelligent marketing.

[Bug 208531] Re: Samba update breaks nautilus network browsing

2008-03-30 Thread Mike Perrin
I believe the problems I am experiencing with 8.04-beta live CD are
related to this bug. My share server is a Trendnet TS-U200 flash card
appliance with two shares configured; //fileshare/SD_MMC_c is public,
//fileshare/CF_a requires a user name and password. These shares are
working properly with 7.10 (live or installed).

My observations with 8.04 beta live (samba-common and smbclient version
3.0.28a-0ubuntu3) are:

Using the network browser, I can discover fileshare and see the SD_MMC_c
and CF_a shares.

When I select the public share SD_MMC_c, the network browser hangs with
a blank window but a network folder icon is created on the desktop.
Double clicking the desktop icon opens a new file browser window with
the share contents and also breaks the hang in the original window which
now displays the contents also.

When I select the private share CF_a, I get a dialog window asking for
username, domain and password. Although I fill these in correctly, I
receive an error message Unable to mount location - Failed to mount
Windows share. I am also unable to connect to this share by using the
Places - Connect to Server dialog.

Using smbclient, I get these behaviors:

Connecting to the public share using
$ smbclient //fileshare/SD_MMC_c
is successful when just hitting [ENTER] at the password prompt.

Connecting to the private share using
$ smbclient //fileshare/CF_a --user=myname%mypassword
fails with the following messages:
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.8a]
Server requested LANMAN password (share-level security) but 'client use lanman 
auth' is disabled
tree connect failed: SUCCESS - 0

[Bug 220957] Re: Fails to see blank CD/DVDs for writing

2008-06-06 Thread Mike Perrin
I had a similar problem in 8.04 with a Plextor PX-W2410TA CD burner
manufactured in October 2001. Nautilus would not recognize a blank CD. I
could burn using either CD/DVD creator or Brasero, but Brasero produced
a could not eject error. This drive was working perfectly with 6.10.
The workaround was to replace it with a Memorex MRX523252AJI
manufactured in 2004.

Perhaps this has something to do with 8.04 using the /dev/scd0 driver
instead of /dev/hdc as in 6.10?

[Bug 31830] Re: Incorrect screen resolution in Dapper LiveCD

2007-04-20 Thread Mike Perrin
I retested both 7.04 and 6.10 (with all updates) on the same
configuration as my 2006-04-25 posting: a Samsung 204T 1600x1200 LCD
behind an 8 port IOGear KVM switch. If I boot with the switch pointed at
another machine, both 7.04 and 6.10 come up with 800x600 resolution. If
I boot with the KVM switch pointed to the booting computer, they come up
at 1600x1200. This may indicate that the resolution problem experienced
by others, presumably without interposing hardware between the computer
and display, has something to do with the ability to interrogate the
connected monitor.

[Bug 351133] Re: Install boot option hangs at timezone selection

2009-04-03 Thread Mike Perrin
This problem is limited to the IDE interface on the K7T Turbo2
motherboard. The install boot option proceeded normally through timezone
selection on three other systems: a Jetway V4MDMP with Athlon 2000+, a
Biostar MCP6P-M2+ with Sempron 3400+, and a Biostar M7VKQ with Duron
800. It hung consistently on the K7T Turbo2 using four different
brand/model CD burners and one DVD burner in addition to the original
Mitsumi CD burner. I even tried installing only one of the two DIMM
modules at a time in case it might be a subtle memory problem, to no
effect. Finally, it succeeded on the K7T Turbo2 when I used an external
USB DVD burner drive (through the painfully slow on-board USB 1.1 port).
It seems to me that pretty much leaves the IDE controller,  the BIOS,
and/or the IDE driver as the culprit.

Perhaps we should call this a won't fix, close it and move on. My
apologies for sending you on what appears to be a hardware wild goose
chase.

[Bug 351133] [NEW] Install boot option hangs at timezone selection

2009-03-29 Thread Mike Perrin
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubiquity

When choosing the Install boot option on the 9.04 beta i386 CD, the
installer hung after the timezone (America/Los Angeles) was selected
using the city menu list and Continue was clicked. Installation was
successful when booting into the Live CD and using the Install icon. I
tried again to use the CD install boot option and it hung at the same
place. The hang continued after the Quit button was clicked and the
resulting dialog box answered. The CD passed the integrity check.

2011-08-26 Thread Mike Perrin
I was unable to recreate this bug when I installed the NetGear WN111v2
USB wireless adapter again. It remains connected with either or both the
usb9170 and carl9170 drivers loaded. Performance appears to be better
with the carl9170 driver, however. Reported connection speed was 48 Mbs
with the carl9170 (usb9170 blacklisted) versus 1 Mbs for the usb9170
(carl9170 blacklisted). I can only assume that the bug was miraculously
cured by one or more package updates. My current kernel version is
2.6.38-11-generic. Since I was using a Realtek RT2070 based USB wireless
adapter in the intervening period, I cannot determine which update(s)
fixed the ar9170 failure.

Based on this latest experience with the ar9170, I suggest that the
status be changed to either Invalid or Fix Released unless someone else
is still experiencing the problem.

[Bug 779142] Re: ar9170 usb wireless disconnects repeatedly

2011-05-12 Thread Mike Perrin
I installed a TP-LINK TL-WN321G USB wireless adapter that uses the
Realtek RT2070 chipset. It works perfectly, which seems to confirm this
as a kernel/driver issue, not a Network Manager issue. That solves my
immediate problem. If the developers need additional information or have
a proposed fix, I will be happy to try the WN111v2 ar9170 adapter again.

If anyone else has this problem and wants a cheap fix, Newegg has the
TL-WN321G (b/g only, not n) for $11.99 with free shipping to the lower
48.

[Bug 211631] Re: Network is brought down before network filesystems are unmounted (CIFS timeout at shutdown)

2011-06-12 Thread Mike Perrin
I have two machines running 11.04 with a wireless connection. I was able
to get a clean shutdown on both by changing the link to
/etc/init.d/umountnfs.sh in /etc/rc0.d and /etc/rc6.d from
S31umountnfs.sh to K15umountnfs.sh. This is a workaround, not a fix, as
it simply starts the cifs/nfs file unmounting script earlier in the
shutdown process.

[Bug 779142] [NEW] ar9170 usb wireless disconnects repeatedly

2011-05-07 Thread Mike Perrin
Public bug reported:

NetGear WN111v2 USB wireless adapter connecting to WEP encrypted 802.11g
network using Network Manager on 11.04 connects on startup then
disconnects after about one minute. Behavior after that depends on
whether the carl9170 and/or ar9170usb modules are loaded. The WN111v2
works perfectly using Network Manager and 10.10 on a similar Atom CPU
machine.  Stopping network manager and attempting to connect manually
using iwconfig and ifconfig was unsuccessful, so I suspect this may be a
driver/kernel issue rather than Network Manager.

carl9170 loaded (ar9170usb blacklisted)
Connects on startup. Loses connection, shows authentication dialog, reconnects. 
Loses connection, shows authentication dialog...

ar9170usb loaded (carl9170 blacklisted)
Connects on startup. Loses connection, shows authentication dialog, fails to 
reconnect. Shows authentication dialog...

Both loaded (neither blacklisted)
Connects on startup. Loses connection, shows authentication dialog, fails to 
reconnect. Shows authentication dialog...

Attached is a tar.gz file containing /var/log/syslog output from bootup
to the second authentication dialog in each case. It seems odd to me
that wpa_supplicant is involved when WEP encryption is used, but that is
probably because I don't understand the operation of Network Manager.

Network Manager and 11.04 are working on an eeePC 1000 with Realtek
RT2860 miniPCIe wireless using the rt2800pci module (rt2860sta
blacklisted) so I have ordered a Realtek chipset USB wireless stick to
try on the problem machine.

[Bug 768506] Re: CIFS VFS Server is slowing down shutdown

2011-05-16 Thread Mike Perrin
This seems to be a zombie bug (aka regression error) I encountered in 8.04 and 
9.04 that has returned from the dead. Fortunately there is a fix by Sander 
Marechal available at
http://www.jejik.com/articles/2007/07/automatically_mounting_and_unmounting_samba_windows_shares_with_cifs/
Sander's script eliminated the shutdown delay on my 11.04 machine using 
K19umountcifs for the symlinks in rc0.d and rc6.d
I don't have this problem with 10.04 or 10.10 and I don't remember having it 
with 9.10. Maybe the developers will drive a stake through its heart this time.

[Bug 211631] Re: Network is brought down before network filesystems are unmounted (CIFS timeout at shutdown)

2011-05-23 Thread Mike Perrin
On a functional level perhaps it is worth considering whether Network
Manager, on stopping, should simply leave the interfaces as currently
configured instead of taking them down. I can make the argument that
Network Manager is a tool to make it easy for the user to control
network interfaces, but Network Manager is not the owner of those
interfaces, the system and user are. If the user makes a connection
using Network Manger and then disables NM, why shouldn't the interface
stay up until the user or a shutdown sequence takes it down?

 Mike thats a great point and I think would be a design change for NM.
 It might then be best to bring that up with the upstream developers.

 As it stands now, NM does in fact own a network interface that it is
 set to manage, and so, we must architect the system around that.

[Bug 768506] Re: CIFS VFS Server is slowing down shutdown

2011-05-18 Thread Mike Perrin
Oops. This isn't as simple as I thought. The shutdown problem came back
even with Sander's umountcifs script installed.  I discovered that if I
use a hard wire network connection shutdown is fine and umountcifs is
unnecessary. The delayed shutdown occurs with a wireless network. I
speculate that the wireless connection closes too soon and keeps the
cifs virtual file system from shutting down cleanly. Can anyone confirm
or correct this?

[Bug 768506] Re: CIFS VFS Server is slowing down shutdown

2011-05-20 Thread Mike Perrin
Ernst is correct; after further testing this turns out *not* to be a
wireless network issue for me. I am developing a background process that
mounts/unmounts shares as defined by users in a configuration file in
their home directory. My script interferes with umountcifs when user
logout occurs on shutdown or restart. If I have umountcifs installed and
I kill my script before shutting down the shutdown occurs normally. When
I tested with hardwire I either did not have my script running or it was
one of those lucky shots where the two second time delay in my infinite
loop occurred at just the right moment to allow umountcifs to do its
work. Now I just have to fix my code. My apologies for the red herring.

Ernst - Have you installed umountcifs to determine if it solves your
problem?

[Bug 768506] Re: CIFS VFS Server is slowing down shutdown

2011-05-22 Thread Mike Perrin
It turns out that my three previous posts have been about half right. After 
further research and testing I have concluded that:
- This is a zombie bug. I recommend this bug be marked as yet another in the 
long list of duplicate bugs for #211631.
- Sander Marechal's umountcifs is not needed for a workaround.
- The root cause is that Network Manager, controlled by upstart, terminates 
early and disables the network interfaces before the cifs shares are unmounted. 
 To validate this, I disabled network manager and manually brought up my 
wireless interface using iwconfig and ifconfig. With two shares mounted a 
normal shutdown was achieved on ten successive trials.
- Comment #139 in bug #211631 notes that Linux Mint 10 does not have this 
problem by virtue of relinking umountnfs to K15umountnfs in rc0.d and rc6.d. I 
validated this by achieving ten successive normal shutdowns with two shares 
mounted and my wireless connection controlled by Network Manager. (Note that 
Glen Robinson's comment #139 says umountnfs was originally linked as 
S43umountnfs whereas my 11.04 installation had umountnfs.sh linked as  
S31umountnfs.sh. I am unable to explain the discrepancy.) Glen also states that 
he did not have the problem with a hardwire network, as I reported in comment 
#7 above.
- Since this is a race (timing) problem, there is no guarantee that either of 
the above two workarounds would be effective for all situations.
- My cifs management script was interfering with shutdown, confusing my 
investigation of the original problem . I think I have that fixed now. How 
unusual - a bug in my code!

[Bug 608536] Re: LXTerminal title bar messed up

2010-09-11 Thread Mike Perrin
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 567957 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/567957

I am experiencing this problem with a PC Engines ALIX.1C AMD Geode
motherboard running Linux Mint 9 LXDE using the Xorg geode driver.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/KernelModeSetting indicates that KMS is only
activated with the radeon, i915 and nouveau drivers, so while disabling
KMS may solve the problem on some systems, it may not be the root cause
and this may not be a complete duplicate of bug 567957.

The problem does not occur when I use the vesa driver, but vesa only
offers 60 Hz refresh at 1280x1024 with an Acer AL1717 monitor. At 60 Hz
the AL1717 exhibits wandering flicker (somewhat like rolling flicker on
a CRT) so I have to run it at 75 Hz for decent display quality.

In my case, moving the LXTerminal window causes the title bar space to
show as a semi-transparent area with no text or buttons. Then resizing
the terminal window usually causes the title bar to display properly,
sometimes with small rendering defects along the edges. I say usually
because if I don't move it far enough or resize it enough, it results in
no change or a corrupted title bar.

BTW, I don't see this problem with LXTerminal using Linux Mint 9 Fluxbox
on the same hardware.

[Bug 988290] Re: Resolution change with KVM switch on Precise

2013-05-06 Thread Mike Perrin
The problem may be deeper than gnome-screensaver. I experienced the same
annoying symptom with a fresh install of Debian 7.0.0 on a machine
behind an IOGear 8-port PS2 KVM switch. As reported above, simply
opening System Settings - Displays caused the resolution to revert to
1600x1200, as did running the xrandr command in a terminal. To determine
if it was gnome-screensaver, I forced it to quit using 'gnome-
screensaver-command --exit' and confirmed that the screensaver process
was no longer running. However, switching to another machine for a few
seconds still resulted in the display changing to 1024x768. Using Gnome
Classic instead of Gnome shell didn't help. I did not remove gnome-
screensaver because it required uninstalling other gnome desktop
components also. My solution was to install the XFCE desktop which
doesn't exhibit the resolution switching behavior -- and is more usable
than Gnome3 in my opinion.

[Bug 2063962] [NEW] 24.04 UEFI install fails, BIOS install succeeds

2024-04-27 Thread Mike Perrin
Public bug reported:

Ubuntu, Ubuntu-Cinnamon and Ubuntu-MATE all fail to install when using
UEFI but MATE succeeded when I tried a BIOS install. In all cases the
install selections were to take over the disk, minimal desktop and no
proprietary drivers or codecs. Hardware is an ASRock Q1900M Pro 3 quad
core Celeron board with 4GB RAM. Attached is a screenshot of the MATE
install log window when the failure occurred.

[Bug 2063962] Re: 24.04 UEFI install fails, BIOS install succeeds

2024-04-28 Thread Mike Perrin
This seems to be unique to the Q1900M board. I cobbled together another
system with an ASRock 970 Extreme 3 motherboard, Athlon II CPU and 8GB
RAM and the MATE UEFI install succeeded. Conversely a UEFI install of
Lubuntu, which uses the Calamares installer also failed on the Q1900M
system. So I don't know what the problem is but I know some things it is
not. It is not the hard disk because the install failed with a different
one. It is not memory size because it failed when I borrowed a memory
stick from another machine to get 8GB on the Q1900M.

After making two backups of my home directory and the disk image of my
target machine (An ASRock J5040-ITX board) I worked up the courage to
try 24.04 MATE there and it succeeded. It appears this is a peculiar
problem with my Q1900M test box (which had no problems with previous
Ubuntu releases). If no one else is experiencing a similar problem I
suggest we chalk this one up to no-see-ums and forget it.
