Smeuuh: It's not just 8.10 Intrepid, it also happens in 8.04 Hardy. Or
did you mean that it was fixed in Intrepid alpha, then broken on
Intrepid release?

Yes, the issue is present in Hardy.

Disabling the beep is not at all obvious to beginners - many students
ask about removing the beep every week.

I have not tested if it's there on Intrepid.

I had the same problem on a different machine, an amd64 Gutsy 7.10.

Could be bypassed like above, by symlinking the .ICE-unix/NUMBER from
strace to .ICE-unix/CORRECTNUMBER.

Symptoms included slow evince start, can't open menu in OpenOffice,
OpenOffice crashing.

The machine had been running long time with the same X session. Then I
logged out, changed language and logged back in. Problem probably
started after logging back in.

Session is started in the default way: I have hardy amd64 installed from
live cd. I start my session by logging in from gdm's graphical login
screen.

I tried logging out and restarting X with alt-ctrl-backspace, but it did
not fix the problem. I just installed this machine, so I don't know if
it happens a lot.

I have not yet developed a guaranteed way to trigger this problem or a
guaranteed way to get rid of it. Earlier commenters say it happens
unpredictably.

This problem occurs to me on a freshly installed, updated Hardy on
amd64. When it's happening, OpenOffice does not start and vim opens very
slowly. Thus, it makes a desktop nearly unusable.

2008-08-14 Thread Tero Karvinen
When this problem is happening:
- OpenOffice does not start
- vim is starts slowly
- It takes 7 seconds to open an xterm window

The socket in /tmp/.ICE-unix/ has a different number than the one
programs are looking for.

I time over 7 s when I start xterm and close the window as soon as it appears:
$ time xterm 
Warning: Tried to connect to session manager, Could not open network socket
real0m7.374s
...

Vim starts slowly, strace mentions ICE-unix
$ strace vim newfile.txt
...
nanosleep({1, 0}, {1, 0})   = 0
socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = 3
uname({sys=Linux, node=foobar, ...}) = 0
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path=/tmp/.ICE-unix/6026}, 21) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
close(3)

Indeed, this /tmp/.ICE-unix/6026 does not exist. Instead, a similarly named 
socket with a different number is found:
$ ls -ld /tmp/.ICE-unix/ /tmp/.ICE-unix/*
drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 2008-08-11 12:33 /tmp/.ICE-unix/
srwxrwxrwx 1 tero  tero 0 2008-08-11 12:33 /tmp/.ICE-unix/6943

Don't know if this is related, but localhost and hostname are mapped to 
different IP's in the loopback block. 
$ cat /etc/hosts
...
127.0.0.1   localhost
127.0.1.1   foobar
...

Running Ubuntu 8.04.1 hardy. IPv6 is not disabled. Currently, DNS
resolution is quite slow, don't know if it is related. I have network-
manager 0.6.6-0ubuntu5, xserver-xorg 1:7.3+10ubuntu10.2, xterm

2008-08-14 Thread Tero Karvinen
Problem can be bypassed by creating a symlink.

From strace I can see that programs are looking for socket /tmp/.ICE-
unix/6026. With 'ls', I can see that instead there is a socket /tmp
/.ICE-unix/6943. So I can bypass the problem by creating a symlink:

$ cd /tmp/.ICE-unix/
$ ln -s 6943 6026
$ ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 tee tee 4 2008-08-14 12:06 6026 - 6943
srwxrwxrwx 1 tee tee 0 2008-08-11 12:33 6943

After that, xterm opens immediately.

$ xterm 
Warning: Tried to connect to session manager, Authentication Rejected, reason : 
MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 authentication rejected

Vim also opens without delay. However, OpenOffice still does not work.

[Bug 104954] Bug exists in Dapper too

2007-09-06 Thread Tero Karvinen
This problem also exists in 6.06 LTS Dapper.

A bypass is to view the file in xpdf, which replaces unknown fonts with
those it can render correctly. I think PDF standard requires viewers to
have some fonts, so those fonts are not embedded by default. Because of
this, a lot of pdf:s are shown incorrectly.

Bug #96662 ugly fonts in some documents in evince seems similar to
this bug.

xforcevesa bypasses Radeon 9600 problem. The bug exists in Dapper and
Edgy.

Just helped on a similar problem:
0) On a computer with ATI Radeon 9600 (and AMD64 processor)
1) Boot with Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper AMD64 version Live CD
Boot starts normally, and splash screen is shown. When GDM should start: 
What should happen:
- GDM should start normally
What actually happens (the bug):
- A blank black screen appears. Computer is not completely crashed: numlock 
changes light. 

Bypass:
- Safe graphical mode works perfectly. Optimal resolution for the display is 
automatically detected: 1280x1024 @ hor: 63,92 kHz, vert: 59,9 Hz. Looking at 
/isolinux/isolinux.cfg on cdrom reveals that the correct boot parameter is 
xforcevesa. 
- xforcevesa makes display work when it is added to boot parameters with F6 
other options. This same parameter could be added to grub boot parameters on 
an installed system. 

On the same AMD64, ATI Radeon 9600 system, Ubuntu Linux 6.10 Edgy x86
alternate install cd had the same problem: blank screen when GDM starts.
Also latest Knoppix failed to start X.

[Bug 34603] Re: Clock can't display international date format

2006-04-16 Thread Tero Karvinen
Can set a custom date format with 
$ gconf-editor
search: applet_
Find clock applet among about 5 applets. 
Change for example 2006-04-16 16:39 Sun w15
custom_format: %x %H:%M %a w%W
format: custom
Clock format changes immidiately. 

When format is custom, Clock applet, right click: Preferences shows a dialog 
to edit custom format. This only works once, after that it must be edited in 
gconf-editor. 

Copy date does not work. 

I did not yet find a way to put short localized date in it: %x %X shows 
seconds, even if show seconds is not selected, and even if 'ls' shows only 
minutes with the same LC_DATE.

[Bug 39776] Ingnores locale LC_CTYPE

2006-04-16 Thread Tero Karvinen
Public bug reported:

Affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu)
   Severity: Normal
   Priority: (none set)
 Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
Gnome-terminal ingnores locale LC_CTYPE.

To reproduce
1) Set LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8, described in detail on 
http://myy.helia.fi/~karte/english_in_finland_on_ubuntu.html

2) Applications: Accessories: Terminal (gnome-terminal)

3) $ echo This is one word: päivää
Double click between iv. 

What should happen: päivää should be selected, because it is one word.
Päivää is hello in Finnish.

What actually happens: iv is selected.

What causes it: gnome-terminal ignores LC_CTYPE, and has it's own list
of characters in gconf. 'gconf-editor', /apps/gnome-
terminal/profiles/Default/word_chars is set by default to
-A-Za-z0-9,./?%#:_. Instead of a list, gnome programs should respect
locales.

[Bug 38856] Re: [dapper] Soft lockup related to yenta IRQ handler

2006-04-13 Thread Tero Karvinen
To sum up, I am using noapic irqpoll as my default boot options. Works: 
CDROM, network, battery meter, cpu scaling. Broken: sound, suspend-to-RAM, 
external display. 

I have not tried dist-upgrade with the installation I am using now, because 
that's what broke it last time. 

I have testing notes on different parameters, to sum them up:
Ubuntu Dapper Flight 6 i386 Install CDROM
Compared to default parameter used in isolinux.cfg:
- Without any parameters: complete freeze on Uncompressing Linux... Ok, 
booting the kernel. 
- With noapic, boots past booting the kernel, but does not find CDROM or 
network (my notes below. I will only attach photos if they are needed)
- With noapic irqpoll boots and finds peripherals
- nolapic - complete freeze
- I was using pci=noapci before, but don't know if it had any effect

0819
Booted from cd, boot menu:
- F6 Other Options: added noapic
Computer booted past the booting the kernel. 
Some text was briefly displayed (PICTURE 0821), written
by hand: PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 7 of

0829 boot from Flight 6 i386 installer
F6, nolapic, enter

Shut down with 5 s press on power button.

Would you like me to try the current installation also with noapic nolapic 
pci=noacpi irqpoll? As it has noapic irqpoll in it, it will probably work. 
Do you want some logs about it?

$ sudo apt-get update  apt-get upgrade
$ sudo apt-get update  apt-get dist-upgrade
4) Click on the you should reboot icon on top right corner. 

What should happen: computer should boot normally

What actually happens:
After boot, complete freeze on Starting Hardware abstraction layer hald in 
the boot splash screen. All previous things on screen show ok. The
line is about 95% done. No keys do anything: caps lock, alt-ctrl-backspace, 
alt-ctrl-del, alt-ctrl-f1 (2,3,4...), mouse, quick power button click. Had to 
press power button for 10 s to shut down.

3004WTMi requires noapic irqpoll to boot, I checked that these options
were still present in grub configuration.

Additionally, also runlevel 1 is now broken:
Tried booting to runlevel 1 with grub options 1.
Stopped on Sending all processes the TERM signal...
caps lock changes led status, holding tab creates disk action, can change
to alt-ctrl-f1. After some waiting, more text was printed on vt1, eg:
Disabling IRQ #11. Still, there seems to be no way to get a prompt.

The problem was probably caused by dist-upgrade, or not booting between upgrade 
and dist upgrade. 

I installed from scratch using Ubuntu Dapper Flight 6 i386 install CD, then 
ran sudo apt-get update  sudo apt-get -y upgrade, rebooted, and gdm screen 
came up. After showing gdm screen, for about 20 s the computer did not react to 
mouse or keyboard, then started working.

Most users like to use English user interface, but not US units and

Comment:
Now computer knows when AC is unplugged, but on unplug shuts down
computer.

After 'sudo apt-get update  sudo apt-get upgrade', a new icon appeared
on gnome panel: Power Manager 2.13.5. Now I have linux 2.6.15-15,
gnome-applets 2.13.3-0ubuntu1 and hal 0.5.6-1ubuntu3. The yellow
hoverbox shows if AC is plugged or not. If AC is unplugged, computer
shuts down in less than half a minute. Battery level is still always 0%
though. I assume that the shutdown is result of battery being in
critical (5%) state according to mistaken 0% measurement. The power
manager seems nice, I hope my machine will suspend-to-ram S3 some day
too. All these changes seem promising, looking forward to a working
battery meter.

Are there any command outputs I could get on 3004WTMi that would help
fixing the smartbattery?

Gnome Battery Charge Monitor does not show battery load level with

SmartBatteries work on Windows XP. Because they work on Windows, it is

The same problem is reported to exist, for example, on Acer Aspire 1684WLMi. 

In #20466: ACPI-EC is already in the kernel. So you just need the program to 
read this.

[Bug 30039] No default port and directory in Connect to Server: SSH

2006-01-29 Thread Tero Karvinen
Public bug reported:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/30039

Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
   Severity: Normal
   Priority: (none set)
 Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
Connect to Server: SSH asks user for target port and directory. Normal
end users don't usually know these.

The port is normally 22/tcp, and nautilus uses this automatically if it
is left empty. However, there is no way for user to know that it can be
left empty. Suggestion: have text 22 in the port field by default,
when the dialog is opened.

Directory to connect to is empty. If left empty, it will connect to root
directory /. In many big systems, user home directories are not
directly under /home/, but are separated to many directories. In
practice, this means that user must use command line ssh and pwd
first to find out his home directory before using Connect to Server.

Suggestion: Connect to user home directory by default if the field is
left empty. Have small text under the directory field: Defaults to your
home directory if left empty.
