[Bug 570151] Re: mouse stuck jumping between screens

2012-01-29 Thread Peter Jakobi
I'm not entirely certain if this was the actual fix to this multi-head issue 
for me
(nvidia, twinview, 2nd head on the right  rotated and panning,  nvidia 
propritary driver, lucid), 
as this was a quite a while ago. 

However the most significant changes I did  back then, was switching to the 
xorg-edgers-ppa and ubuntu-x-swat-x-updates ppas and updating *all* apps.

I'm currently using: 
xserver-xorg-core  2:1.8.2+git20100705+server-1.8
nvidia-current290.10-0ubuntu1~lucid~xup1

HTH
Peter

I second Roshan's request. Thanx.

Note that for my Jaunty it's a slightly differing version than the one 
mentioned above, also implicating Ubuntu One:
## pool name as per aptitude -v show ~nlibglib
#bash1 % grep -r -i

[Bug 413775] [NEW] missing locking / changetrack does only track with a delay of one day and one hour

2009-08-14 Thread Peter Jakobi
Public bug reported:

issue:   changetrack currently is _not_ integrated into package installation. 
Effectively,
this means  that new config files will be added at worst 25 hours late 
(cron.daily/changetrack).
Possibly after the user already changed some config files.

solution: call changetrack with the list of newly added config files as defined
by the packages, and append that list the list of all packages.

a similar situation exists, when the user edits /etc/changetrack.cfg.


work around: 

manually invoke cron.daily/changetrack to update the config file list,
then cron.hourly/changetrack to update RCS.

however this shows a second issue:

issue: changetrack and scripts messing with the filelists require locking to 
avoid data corruption.
This certainly is the case for the filelist itself. And I'm quite a bit 
sceptical concerning RCS in
face of multiple concurrent attempts at the same file. 

solution: add locking, for now at least to the cronjobs, in the following 
example using
lockfile from the procmail package:
   f=/var/lib/changetrack/.locked; lockfile -s10 -l600 $f
   original content of cron.*/changetrack
   rc=$?;rm $f;exit $rc

Changetrack would also profit from adding locking internally, but even than, 
we'd need still
to use locks in the daily script. 

thanx,
Peter

[Bug 283806] Re: Can't input in Entry (conflict with XIM)

2009-08-01 Thread Peter Jakobi
a quick workaround as given on
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=489228

export XMODIFIERS= disables some input methods, but allows perl-tk to 
see normal keyboard input. 

That way at least apps like the perl tk debugger (libdevel-ptkdb-perl)
are usable again.

(strangely, for multiline edit windows, the bug did not trigger.)

[Bug 317366] Re: urxvt menu hangs urxvt with x input frozen

2009-07-31 Thread Peter Jakobi
Patch success confirmed.

There's still a small annoyance, as I'm required to move the mouse over another
window and back again to properly regain focus, but that's no show stopper,
and quite likely also influenced by metacity and me using sloppy focus, which
the metacity dev's hate with passion...

thanx,
Peter

2009-07-30 Thread Peter Jakobi
Appending straces as per request from Thomas Adam.

strace -o LOG.strace.hang-f -f urxvt -e /bin/dash
strace -o LOG.strace.hang urxvt -e /bin/dash
strace -o LOG.strace.nohang-f -f urxvt -e /bin/dash
strace -o LOG.strace.nohang urxvt -e /bin/dash

The  difference being just CTRL-RIGHTBUTTON being pressed before  kill or exit.
The reliability of the hangup is 100%, so getting good traces was easy :).

[Bug 317366] Re: urxvt menu hangs urxvt with x input frozen

2009-07-29 Thread Peter Jakobi
Menu is broken for me as well.

Effects: X11 hangs except for the mouse until the 
urxvt in question is killed from a console; a grab maybe?

work around is disabling popups in .Xdefaults 
(use xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults if necessary):

(if you still want perl running)
Rxvt.perl-ext-common: defaults,-option-popup,-selection-popup
otherwise its:
Rxvt.perl-ext:
Rxvt.perl-ext-common:

likely culprits are:
/usr/lib/urxvt/urxvt.pm   # contains code for popups
/usr/lib/urxvt/perl/option-popup # menu itself
/usr/lib/urxvt/perl/selection-popup # possibly innocent??

[Bug 317366] Re: urxvt menu hangs urxvt with x input frozen

2009-07-29 Thread Peter Jakobi
Addendum:

hang occurs _AFTER_ displaying the menu.

ubuntu jaunty 64bit, standard gnome/metacity setup
rxvt-unicode (urxvt) v9.06 - released: 2008-06-15
urxvt info toii  rxvt-unicode-ml   9.06-1

urxvt LOG 21 produces NO output on hang or kill. 
 
Info from urxvt isn't in any log.

Other possibly related messages: 
maybe this one in the X log (the log itself at least has a suitable change 
time):
(II) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: Device reopened after 1 attempts.
(II)   SCISSORS Keyboard: Device reopened after 1 attempts.
(II) Macintosh mouse button emulation: Device reopened after 1 attempts.
(II) PS2++ Logitech Wheel Mouse: Device reopened after 1 attempts.

daemon.log (that was around the console switch to kill the urxvt, so gpm 
noticed _SOMETHING_ (?)):
Jul 29 12:07:06 anuurn /usr/sbin/gpm[3306]: *** warning 
[daemon/old_main.c(254)]:

[Bug 338495] Re: X stops responting/updating, console switching still works

2009-03-10 Thread Peter Jakobi
This might look similar to the bug (not reported) I noticed after doing
a fresh install of jaunty alpha 4 desktop on ADM64 on a 4GB core2 box.
I'm not playing with GL, COMPIZ, didn´t even switch to nvidia drivers
yet. Happens when going away for multiple days, after having locked
things with vlock -a -s:

1st observation: Xorg presented me with frozen applications (possibly
after killing any screen blanker in the way), with  urxvt windows not
showing text at all, but I still have a moving mouse pointer (though I
am unable to change focus) and firefox is still being able to react on
mouse clicks. Windowmanager is still metacity forced to a still-more-
broken-than-before sloppy focus.

-- as firefox is still partially accessible, it´s not an X-server-only
issue, but different library stacks are also part of the bug.

no chance but to kill X entirely.


2nd observation (while still being away at the moment): vnc just displays the 
dreaded black screen, only displaying the mouse pointer. (both before and after 
killing vlock).

Nothing of interest in Xorg.0.log at all, except that my old logitech
trackball (time to switch and reload NiMH cells, I´d guess) couldn´t be
read. This trackball also was the one and only core pointer. The final
lines in Xorg.0.log show the configuration of the trackball at time
offsets 1, 27380, and finally the loss of the trackball at 36109).

I´ll append more when I´m again in front of the console.

Bug 338495 looks also like it might be related to X kind of freezing.
