[Bug 1542519] Re: Double menu bar

2019-08-25 Thread Charles Burns
Running 16.04 in 2 different machines, one of which is affected by the bug and 
the other not.
I prefer to stay with Xenial since I admin a few family systems and the 
workload reduces over time with Xenial now in caretaker mode.

Each was installed at different times, the unaffected one having been
installed almost from the first stable release and having been regularly
updated, the affected one having been installed a few weeks ago from an
iso saved about 2 years ago and updated at install and regularly since.

The unaffected machine is a 14 inch Clevo laptop with i3 onboard graphics 
"Broadwell GT1", no special driver noted.
The affected machine is an ASRock mini hybrid desktop affair with i5 onboard 
graphics "HD Graphics 530 (Skylake GT2)", no special driver noted.

Both are running the same official package 2.2.2-5ubuntu0.16.04.4

Thanks to rtimai's work on this bug, I've given the user a simple shortcut to 
restart the Unity session - per comment 14

This is a small burden for such a great version as Xenial with unity has
been.

[Bug 1779476] Re: Boot process hangs indefinitely. Never finishes.

Further to the above on wireless start, booting into *.23 kernel, Bionic loses 
all the retarding
symptoms for Gnome start and for wireless network start.

Installing plymouth 0.9.3-3 over the distro 0.9.3-1 had no effect on this 
system - amd64 - either.
Steps taken with dpkg for a hash-checked .deb were:

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.15.0-24-generic

Apt complained about some redundancies, which I deleted.

After uninstalling haveged, the system hung indefinitely once more at various 
advices of processes waiting, depending on the 3 restarts I tried. GDM featured 
variously, as did utmp.  Not knowing  much at that level, I can only report 
that plymouth 0.9.3-3 doesn't fix the hang I reported upthread.  Nor does it 
change the lack of either keyboard or usb mouse/touchpad access for at least 
90s of that hang.
Another symptom, just noticed because of all the restarts, is that wireless 
networking gets a
significant delay before kicking in after the handover to Gnome - about 30s.  
With the 16.04 I dual
boot this machine to, wireless networking is ready to go almost as soon as the 
UI is up.

Reinstalling haveged returns the good handover to Gnome - about 20s, but 
wireless networking stays
slow to begin its work.

Note that uninstalling plymouth 0.9.3-3 returns the listing of 0.9.3-1 to the 
system, but a
couple of the Ubuntu display dependencies needed also to be reinstalled to get 
back a
coherent recognisable splash screen progress.
Probably time for me to get familiar with using the shell at startup.  That UI 
looks like a real
curate's egg and this is a significant bug (or set of bugs maybe).

[Bug 1779476] Re: Ubuntu 18.04: gdm3 does not switch to graphics after update

2018-07-05 Thread Charles Burns
I can report a very similar experience after the update to kernel *-24.
The difference with my machine - a barebook Clevo packaged by Pioneer Computers 
Australia -
is that no keyboarding, usb mouse, or touchpad use reproducably reduces the 
hang time by plymouth to less than an average 90seconds.  The appearance of the 
cursor is fairly unpredictable within those times and at a rare few boots, 
CTRL+ALT F2 sent the system into a wobbly dance between the shell and plymouth.
Holding SHIFT during boot however does produce an acceptable and reproducable 
boot into Xorg time of about 15s.
Installing and enabling haveged in sysctrl has the same effect as holding the 
SHIFT key.
Booting into the *-23 kernel removes the hang and any of the wobbly moves 
between shell and plymouth.

As requested, after uninstalling haveged and booting to *-24 kernel, both using 
the SHIFT workaround and the longer playing with keyboard and pointers, issuing 
the command:
lsof | grep /dev/random

listed nothing.

Interesting that with sudo prefixed, the command complains:

'lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfsd-fuse file system /run/user/1000/gvfs
  Output information may be incomplete.'
While it doesn't complain when the user themself issues the command.
Is this a bug too, or is it logical that the virtual gnome file system is 
indeed run per user
and not by root?

Neither forms of the command list anything.
