2021-03-30 Thread Paul Donohue
The problem is that Xfwm's built-in compositor and virgl don't play nice together. Work-around: Boot the VM with virgl=off (on the video device) or gl=off (on the display), run xfwm4-tweaks-settings in the VM, select the "Compositor" tab, and uncheck "Enable display compositing". Then shut down

No. If I monitor interrupts, the Alps device actually stops sending interrupts when the touchpad or trackstick stutters. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu.

BTW, some Dell Precision 7510 systems (possibly only Xeon systems?) have a hardware issue where the trackstick or the touchpad or both will periodically get "stuck" (stop responding briefly) when on A/C power, when switchable graphics is enabled, when there is significant 2D or 3D video activity

Public bug reported: init_wpa_supplicant() in /etc/wpa_supplicant/functions.sh runs wpa_supplicant with the -W option, which causes it to wait for wpa_cli to attach. init_wpa_supplicant() then attaches wpa_cli to wpa_supplicant. When the nl80211 driver is used with some Intel cards,

See bug #1545363 - my patch for that bug happens to remove the use of the ifstate file. However, fixing that does not solve the "ifup: recursion detected ..." issue. The environment variable still needs to be removed to fix the recursion issue. After thinking about it some more, I think it may
