[Bug 292391] Re: Unable to playback in MuseScore

2009-08-07 Thread Anthony Fok
Many thanks to the hints from Tony Smithe, by changing the ALSA Audio
Device setting in MuseScore from default to hw:0, I was able to
listen to playback using MuseScore's internal synthesizer.  Many thanks!

Perhaps a note in README.Debian about this issue with a pointer this bug
report would help?  Or perhaps patching MuseScore to try a few sensible
defaults like default and hw:0?  Or perhaps changing the ALSA Audio
Device text entry line into a pull-down menu with detected audio
hardware like in Skype?  Just some random ideas.

Cheers,

Anthony Fok

[Bug 111557] Re: Totem cannot play RealVideo RV30/40 files

2008-10-15 Thread Anthony Fok
I doubt that this bug is fixed in 8.10 beta.

According to this post
http://www.unixresources.net/linux/clf/game/archive/00/00/61/34/613465.html
GStreamer still cannot play rmvb files? (in Chinese) from year 2006,
the root cause is that the gstreamer0.10-pitfdll package does not yet
contain any code to handle proprietary RealVideo codecs from w32codecs.
The versions of gstreamer0.10-pitfdll in hardy 8.04 and intrepid 8.10
are exactly the same.

While ffmpeg can decode some older RealVideo files, it does not yet
handle RV30/40 ones.

So, this symptom won't magically cure itself.  Either an open-source
implementation of the RV30/40 codec appears (unlikely), or pitfdll
adapts more code (from xine or mplayer) to handle the proprietary binary
RV30/40 codec library, GStreamer would not be able handle RV30/40
RealVideo files.

but I'll try it out later today on intrepid 8.10 beta to make sure.

2008-10-15 Thread Anthony Fok
My mistake.  I spoke too soon.  :-)

With w32codecs installed, the video portion of Real Video 4.0 file can
indeed play on Intrepid 8.10 beta!  And, contrary to what I thought, it
is not handled by gstreamer0.10-pitfdll, but rather by gstreamer0.10
-plugins-bad (0.10.8), which is a new version in Intrepid (and in Debian
experimental).  The upstream NEWS.gz list the following fix (among many
others):

* Fix the Real codec wrapper plugin

Unfortunately, there is no audio:

** Message: don't know how to handle audio/x-pn-realaudio, 
raversion=(int)10, flavor=(int)0, rate=(int)32000, channels=(int)2, 
width=(int)16, leaf_size=(int)256, packet_size=(int)256, height=(int)1, 
codec_data=(buffer)021290
** Message: Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|totem|RealAudio 
decoder|decoder-audio/x-pn-realaudio, raversion=(int)10, flavor=(int)0 
(RealAudio decoder)
** Message: Automatic missing codec installation not supported (helper 
script missing)

When mplayer is used to play the same file, the following is shown:
==
Opening audio decoder: [faad] AAC (MPEG2/4 Advanced Audio Coding)
FAAD: compressed input bitrate missing, assuming 128kbit/s!
AUDIO: 32000 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 128.0 kbit/12.50% (ratio: 16000-128000)
Selected audio codec: [faad] afm: faad (FAAD AAC (MPEG-2/MPEG-4 Audio) 
decoder)
==

But gst-inspect does show the existence of the faad plugin.  Hmm...

[Bug 242978] Re: Commit fails for user other than the user owning X

2008-09-10 Thread Anthony Fok
I experienced the same problem when I used bzr on remote server (no X)
on Debian sid.

The same issue was brought up recently on
http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2008/09/02/%23ubuntu-devel.txt .  The
participants there found that the regression is caused by a change in
dbus.

The workaround, as suggested in the IRC log, is to uninstall bzr-dbus
for the time being.

[Bug 207198] Re: Adobe Flash player 9 cannot display Chinese font

2008-09-01 Thread Anthony Fok
On further investigation, it appears that this bug has to do with an
interaction between:

 * /etc/fonts/conf.d/49-sansserif.conf  (from fontconfig-config), and

 * /etc/fonts/conf.d/69-language-selector-zh-cn.conf  (from 
language-selector-common)
(substitute zh-cn for other locales)

Quite a few Ubuntu users have blogged about this problem, and the usual
quick fix is to get rid of /etc/fonts/conf.d/49-sansserif.conf , or
change the append_last sans-serif therein to some other font.  That
said, I agree with Arne's assessment: Removing 49-sansserif.conf does
not seem to be the right way, especially since this file is part of
the upstream source, probably added by Keith Packard himself?

This trick works for me:
   $ cd /etc/fonts/conf.d/
   $ sudo mv 69-language-selector-zh-cn.conf 48-language-selector-zh-cn.conf

Such that the Chinese-specific prepend config is sourced first.
Please try and see if this trick works for you too.

I also tried playing with the following command (under the zh_CN.UTF-8
locale):

$ FC_DEBUG=1 firefox http://www.tudou.com/

Checking the of the debug output, it appears that Adobe Flash is trying
to search for the appropriate font similar to the following command:

$ FC_DEBUG=1 fc-match
'/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf\-bitstream\-vera/Vera.ttf':scalable=true

With 49-sansserif.conf and 69-language-selector-zh-cn.conf, fc-match returns:
Vera.ttf: Bitstream Vera Sans Roman

With 48-language-selector-zh-cn.conf and 49-sansserif.conf, fc-match returns:
wqy-zenhei.ttf: WenQuanYi Zen Hei 中等

Arne, what do you think?  Would that be an appropriate fix for language-
selector?

Thanks,

Anthony

Please sync unifont 1:5.1.20080820-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main).

Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:

 1. The upstream unifont has been unmaintained since around 2003.
It has now found a great maintainer Paul Hardy who extended
the font coverage to Unicode 5.1 BMP and is very active in
continuing development of this font.

 2. Paul Hardy (as upstream maintainer) is also personally maintaining
the package for Debian, and is eager to have the new version
accepted into Ubuntu too.

 3. Paul has already merged the Ubuntu delta (improvements) into
1:5.1.20080808-1:

 From 1:1.0-4ubuntu3:
   Fix missing size and charset font properties (LP: #195764).
   - hex2bdf now uses additional BDF header lines for better font
 description
   - hex2bdf-split (originally Dave Starner's adaptation of Roman
 Czyborra's hex2bdf) renamed from hex2bdf.  Use is discouraged
 but it's still here for now for completeness; wrote man page
  changed name of output font from -gnu-fixed-* to -gnu-unifont-*

 From 1:1.0-4ubuntu2 and 1:1.0-4ubuntu1 (LP: #62849):
   - Added Georgian glyphs contributed to Ubuntu's unifont package by
 Gia Shervashidze and Vladimer Sichinava

Changelog since current intrepid version 1:1.0-4ubuntu3:

unifont (1:5.1.20080820-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Replaced Hangul Syllables block with glyphs in unifont.bdf file
in Debian bf-utf-source package, originally from the Debian
xfonts-baekmuk package (Closes: #495729)
- Avoids license ambiguity of unifont's original Hanterm fonts
- Brings two diverging Debian copies of the unifont font closer together
  * Deleted references to and all derivative copies of any Hanterm fonts
  * Changed unifont package description in debian/control to mention
that the package now installs /usr/share/unifont/unifont.hex and
other files and is no longer just a metapackage (Closes: #494662)

If editing hex glyphs, this file is the master version to edit;
unifont.hex is generated from this full version -- see uniunmask(1)

[Bug 235292] Re: Ubuntu 8.04 fails to boot on ECS MCP78M-M2 motherboard

2008-07-20 Thread Anthony Fok
Hello Leann,

Thank you for looking over my bug report.  And I apologized for my late
response too.  :-)

After filing the bug report, more information has come to light.  It
turned out that we were testing the same model of motherboards, but with
different BIOS versions.  With kernel 2.6.24-18-generic /
2.6.25-1-generic / 2.6.24-19-generic:

* BIOS 20080318 (TFMP318.ROM): Starts up successfully!
* BIOS 20080423 (TFMP423.ROM): Starts up successfully!
* BIOS 20080520 (TFMP520.ROM): Could not start up.
* BIOS 200806xx (TFMP6xx.ROM): Could not start up.

So, it has something to do with the BIOS, but we do not know exactly
what it is yet.  We notified a local ECS engineer in Beijing, but
haven't heard back from him yet.

Thanks for your suggestion about trying out Intrepid Alpha 2.  We do not
have that particular motherboard with us right now, but we shall try to
test it when we have a chance.

2008-06-09 Thread Anthony Fok
Hello Tim,

Yes, upstream author hpa (H. Peter Anvin) happened to be on
#etherboot, and he asked me to post the patch on klibc mailing list:

http://www.zytor.com/pipermail/klibc/2008-May/002288.html

However, someone dislikes the way I wrote it, saying it is if
speghetti code.  (That's kind of how dmesg.c in util-linux does it
though...)

http://www.zytor.com/pipermail/klibc/2008-May/002290.html

And the marvellous hpa promptly came up with something better, an
easier-to-follow state-machine-like approach:

http://www.zytor.com/pipermail/klibc/2008-May/002289.html

So yes, I'm very happy that hpa is so responsive, and I'm also very
glad that you've already dealt with this issue in Ubuntu too.  Many
thanks, Tim and Steve!  :-)

My bad.  That someone is Maximilian Attems, and I just realized he

uploaded a fix too a few days ago.  :-)  Thanks to Maximilian's

[Bug 235292] [NEW] Ubuntu 8.04 fails to boot on ECS MCP78M-M2 motherboard

2008-05-27 Thread Anthony Fok
Public bug reported:

Ubuntu fails to boot on a very new ECS MCP78M-M2 motherboard with the
nVidia MCP78 (nForce 730a?) chipset due to SATA timeout.

We have tested 7.04 (feisty), 7.10 (gutsy) and now 8.04 (hardy) with
linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic, and none is able to boot from the LiveCD.

At an earlier test, we installed Ubuntu 8.04 on another machine, then
attached the hard drive to ECS MCP78M-M2.  Still, unable to boot.  I
then experimented with Debian's latest 2.6.25-1-686 kernel, and... it
worked!  :-)

 * 2.6.24-16-generic: No
 * 2.6.25-1-686 (Debian): Yes!
 * 2.6.24-18-generic (: Yes!
 * 2.6.24-17-generic: No
 * 2.6.25-1-generic: Yes!  (From 
https://edge.launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive)

Unfortunately, that's not the entire story.  Apparently, a custom Ubuntu
8.04 LiveCD with /casper/vmlinuz and /casper/initrd.gz replaced with
2.6.25-1-generic does not boot from SATA DVD-ROM drive.  A dmesg output
is attached.

(Note: the /bin/dmesg in initrd.gz from the klibc-utils package is
buggy.  I copied the normal /bin/dmesg from util-linux to a USB stick in
order to get the correct output.  See Bug#235282 for more information.)

[Bug 234208] [NEW] Ubiquity (GTK) hangs for 90 seconds before showing its GUI for zh_CN/zh_TW installs

2008-05-22 Thread Anthony Fok
Public bug reported:

When Chinese (simplified or traditional) is selected on the startup menu
(isolinux, gfxboot) of Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) Desktop official Live CD
(tested on i386), once in GNOME, upon double-clicking on the the
Installer icon (ubiquity gtk_ui), it would take over 90 seconds until
the first welcome screen appears.

/var/log/syslog shows the following:

May 22 21:48:51 ubuntu ubiquity[7667]: Ubiquity 1.8.7
May 22 21:48:56 ubuntu ubiquity[7667]: log-output -t ubiquity laptop-detect
May 22 21:48:58 ubuntu ubiquity[7667]: log-output -t ubiquity 
fontconfig-voodoo --auto --force --quiet
May 22 21:50:26 ubuntu ubiquity[7667]: switched to page stepLanguage
May 22 21:50:28 ubuntu localechooser: info: Locale has been preseeded to 
zh_CN
May 22 21:50:28 ubuntu localechooser: info: Set 
languagechooser/language-name = 'Chinese (Simplified)'
May 22 21:50:28 ubuntu localechooser: info: Set 
countrychooser/shortlist-zh_CN = 'CN'
May 22 21:50:28 ubuntu localechooser: info: Set debian-installer/locale = 
'zh_CN'
May 22 21:50:28 ubuntu ubiquity[7667]: switched to page stepLanguage

Note the 88-second gap between the fontconfig-voodoo run and the next
output?  When preseeded with locales other than zh_CN or zh_TW, the gap
is only a few seconds.

Well, the problem is not with fontconfig-voodoo, but further down on
line 477: self.live_installer.show() in customize_installer() in
/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/gtk_ui.py in ubiquity-frontend-gtk
(1.8.7).  So, does it means it has something to do with Python GTK+ and
Glade?  But other Glade applications exhibit no such delay as far as I
know.

As far as I know, this only affects the GTK+ frontend and not the KDE
frontend in Kubuntu.

Thanks,

Anthony

Ubuntu Kernel Team is already working on getting this RTL8102E driver -

Hein, thank you for your testing, and I'm glad that Ubuntu 8.04 can
startup when LAN is disabled.  Could you please try out the latest test
kernel packages (2.6.24-18-generic), enable LAN in the BIOS, and see if
your machine can boot up successfully?  With the new kernel, the machine
is supposed to boot up normally (without kernel Oops), though RTL8102E
LAN might not yet work.  In that case, could you please attach your
dmesg output here?  Many thanks!

[Bug 82279] Re: displayconfig resolution change bug

2008-05-15 Thread Anthony Fok
Hello,

I am personally affected by this bug, and so did my colleagues and
clients, in feisty, gutsy and hardy.  So, we finally found some time to
look into it more deeply.

This bug is not very hardware specific.  Our observation is that often
tools like krandrtray, displayconfig-gtk, xrandr work, but displayconfig
in kde-guidance does not.  That hints at a software bug.

Our test configuration:

* Kubuntu 8.04 (i386)
* Intel Q35 chipset (display)
* SONY Trintron Multiscan E230 CRT Monitor

Test: Changing screen resolution using displayconfig from kde-guidance
in non-administrator mode.

With that configuration, displayconfig shows the following available
resolutions: 640x480, 720x400, 800x600, 832x624, 1024x768, 1280x960,
1280x1024, 1600x1200

However, we could only change to 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768 directly.

Other resolutions didn't really work.  Or did they?  After changing from
1024x768 to, say, 1600x1200 (without manually setting the refresh rate),
the screen stays at 1024x768 with the 15-second timeout pop-up box, but
with the following error message in the console:

  X Error: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) 2
Major opcode:  156
Minor opcode:  2
Resource id:  0x4b

If I accept the resolution change, then kill X by Ctrl-Alt-Backspace,
and re-login, X is in 1600x1200!

Indeed, a quick check of ~/.kde/share/config/displayconfigrc reviews
that it has stored the setting of 1600x1200, and apparently /usr/bin
/displayconfig-restore (called by /etc/X11/Xsession.d/40guidance-
displayconfig_restore) is working!

Since both displayconfig and displayconfig-gtk use guidance-backend, and
yet one works and another does not, we became convinced the bug is *not*
in the backend, but somewhere in /usr/bin/displayconfig the frontend
itself.

Running xf86misc.py shows the following:

=

The default resolution is 1024x768 @ 85 Hz.

After some debugging, it turns out that: when trying to change to
1600x1200, even though displayconfig shows 60 Hz (the only valid
refresh rate) selected in the combo box, upon clicking Apply,
displayconfig actually tried to set the resolution to 1600x1200 @ 85 Hz,
and that's why the backend complained with an X Error: BadValue
(integer parameter out of range for operation).

Finally, I arrived at _fillRefreshCombo() in displayconfig:

def _fillRefreshCombo(self):
# Update refresh combobox
self.size_refresh_combo.clear()
for rate in self.current_screen.getAvailableRefreshRates():
self.size_refresh_combo.insertItem(i18n(%1 Hz).arg(rate))

self.size_refresh_combo.setCurrentItem(self.current_screen.getRefreshRateIndex())

It got the correct refresh rate(s) for a certain resolution using
self.current_screen.getAvailableRefreshRates(), but
setRefreshRateIndex() is never called.  Well, there was a signal-slot
set up earlier in the code using

self.connect(self.size_refresh_combo,SIGNAL(activated(int)),self.slotRefreshRateChange)

But that is not helpful in this case, since the QComboBox::activated()
signal is not emitted if the item is changed programmatically, e.g.
using setCurrentItem() -
http://doc.trolltech.com/3.3/qcombobox.html#activated

So, a manual call to setRefreshRateIndex() fixes the bug.  A patch is
attached (kubuntu_32_displayconfig_update_refresh_rate.patch).  I have
tested it on both hardy and feisty.

Hope this helps.

[Bug 225749] Re: Ubuntu 8.04 LiveCD exits with modprobe abnormal exit on ICH8M laptop

2008-05-15 Thread Anthony Fok
For everybody bitten by this bug: Could you please go into BIOS setting,
try to disable your LAN (Ethernet controller), and see if Ubuntu 8.04
Live CD would boot?

There is a bug in r8169.ko module in Linux kernel 2.6.24 which causes a
Kernel Oops when it sees new not-yet-unrecognized Ethernet controller.
r8169 in 2.6.24 recognizes RTL8101E, but not RTL8102E.  That Oops
causes some memory corruption or whatnot, and the system fails to boot.

Could you please press Shift-PageUp and see if you see a line that looks
like this?

[   43.851]  [f8889e67] rtl8169_init_one+0xc4/0xe9 [r8169]

If so, please let us know here.  AFAIK, the official Ubuntu kernel
developers are aware of this, and is actively working on a fix, with
test kernel package working or almost working.

Thanks!
