[Bug 411688] Re: pulseaudio floods network with multicast packets

2013-06-30 Thread Dakota Schneider
Confirming what appears to be this bug on 12.10. Noticed constant
network usage of 150-200 Kb/sec outgoing, which was causing substantial
slowing over wifi interface. Checked aroung and there were multiple
connections spawned by pulseaudio.

Disabling network devices using paprefs completely eliminated pulseaudio
generated connections and stopped the passive network utilization.

EDIT: Appears to be limited to Apple Airfoil/AirTunes compatibility
plugin thingie. Disabled just make discoverable Apple AirTunes devices
available locally and that cut the bandwidth. Normal PulseAudio network
devices did not seem to experience the same bug.

EDIT: Checked Multicast/RTP: it appears the aforementioned plugin for
Apple AirTunes forces the Multicast/RTP settings. Enabling Multicast/RTP
independently of Apple AirTunes support yields same results. My
apologies for the numerous comments.

Re: [Bug 1071345] Re: empathy contacts list compact mode is missing in 3.6

2013-05-12 Thread Dakota Schneider
It makes me anxious to upgrade my machine (to an Apple laptop) so I can
run the one true god of chat clients: Adium.

And so I can have my dock at the bottom of the screen. And have a
desktop that doesn't suck.

 Bug description:
  Prior to upgrading to quantal, Empathy had a compact mode for the
  contacts list.  This would show each contact on a single line that was
  just tall enough to display the contact's username.  This way, I would
  be able to use my high resolution monitor to view all of my online
  contacts simultaneously.
 
  Under Empathy 3.6 on quantal, the option for a compact mode
  disappeared and each contact in the list takes about 3 times the
  vertical space needed to display the contact's username.  Now even
  with my high resolution montor, I can only view about 1/3 of my online
  contacts at a time.
 
  Please bring back the compact mode.

Still an issue here, latest normal release of Empathy on Ubuntu 12.10
32-bit, have to decline requists to chat from spammers every time I log
in, from the same accounts. For example, I had to block user
antoginizingalma  on Yahoo! IM untold numbers of times.

Interestingly, I've recently started having problems with the Launcher
badges for Empathy not updating, so it always shows 5 even when I've
quit Empahy or read all messages.

[Bug 983291] Re: Screen Rotation options only Counterclockwise Clockwise

2013-01-07 Thread Dakota Schneider
Using 12.10 on an older Toshiba, I can confirm this bug and lack of
workaround. The only workaround I have discovered is to decrease the
resolution of one or both displays by trial and error so that their
total combined width does not exceed the graphics card's capabilities.

I fully agree with Christopher Reay's comment
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-
center/+bug/983291/comments/20), both on the technical reasons for this
bug and his assessment of the behavior of Sebastien Bacher.

Though this is not actually a bug as far as I can tell, it is
certainly an issue. Somewhere along the line the software has determined
that the combined width of the monitors exceeds the graphics card's
maximum horizontal rendering width for 3D-accellerated rendering. This
hardware limitation should not be simply hidden by the software, which
completely removes the unusable dropdown items; this is a terrible user
feedback situation. At the _very least_, the software should indicate
that, for whatever reason, normal rotation is not available in the
current configuration. Normally, this is achieved by disabling the use
of dropdown items, typically indicated by greying them out. What would
be best, however, would be to use that big, ugly empty space below the
Mirror displays checkbox to display a note to the user, combined with
an explanatory tooltip on the disabled orientation and resolution
dropdown items. For the note, something generic like:

 Note: Ubuntu has detected that your computer's hardware may not be
able to support all possible display configurations.

For the tooltips on the disabled orientation AND resolution dropdowns,
something like:

 This [resoluion|orientation] at the current [resoluion|orientation] exceeds 
 your graphics card's 3D accellerated rendering capabilities and cannot be 
 used.
 Tip: Try decreasing the resolution of one or both displays, or changing the 
 displays' orientation.

A little more technical and precise, but still completely clear to any
user that the current configuration can't be used for a known and
acceptable reason, and provides a possible workaround.

This bug also exposes another issue, which is the current inability to
arrange multiple displays to accurately represent their real-world
orientation. Specifically, the inability to arrange displays vertically
(which, considering that most displays are used such that they are wider
than they are tall, would provide another potential workaround) is
extremely frustrating. I can understand the problems having an OSX-style
unified menubar imposes on vertical arrangement. That said, those issues
are almost completely mitigated by the utilization of sticky edges. I
propose that, in vertical arrangement, sticky edges be set to always-on
for the top edge of a screen which is below another screen. This would
allow boader and more accurate arrangement of screens, as well as
providing a potential workaround for low-end hardware and multiple
displays.

Finally, @Sebastien: muliple display configuration exceeding graphics
hardware 3D accellerated rendering capabilities (low-end hardware with
multiple displays; lots of diplays on mid- and high-end hardware) is not
an unusual end-user configuration, and neither is it uncommon hardware.
The lack of kernel support for old Toshiba lapop ACPI features is low-
priority because the hardware it affects, like my ancient Toshiba Tecra
A5-S516 laptop, is uncommon. This issue is certainly not low priority,
though I would not go so far as to class it high priority. It is more of
a medium, medium-low priority issue, whose SOLUTION is a simple bit of
code to affect conditional user interface feedback. It's not like
someone has to rewrite all of Ubuntu Unity to optimize for the ancient
hardware, or even the absolute minimum possible amount of work required
to support vertical display orientations. This is simple UI stuff to
make your software more responsive and friendly; something you guys
obviously want to do looking at your veritable cloning of all manner of
OSX UI elements, paradigms, and phrasing. Beyond that, your comments
here have been rude and dismissive. As Chrisopher said, You clearly did
not take the time to understand this bug and were rude to a user for no
reason and sent someone away from the Ubuntu community. Shame on you
indeed.

[Bug 1091491] [NEW] [ICH4 - Intel ICH6, playback] Playback problem - Playback Through Headphone Jack but Not Through Internal Speakers

2012-12-17 Thread Dakota Schneider
Public bug reported:

I have an old Toshiba Tecra A5 laptop that I recently installed Ubuntu
12.10 on. The laptop has internal speakers left and right, a hardware
volume control, and a headphone jack. I am able to play audio
successfully through the headphone jack, and control the volume with the
hardware volume control, but I am not able to play back audio through
the internal speakers.

I've checked the alsa mixer and the system Sounds panel to confirm that
all volume controls are up, not muted, and have tested playback on all
audio devices. Playback on headphones works, but playback on internal
speakers does not.

I'm filing a bug report per inrtsuctions in this related bugreport:

[Bug 1091491] Re: [ICH4 - Intel ICH6, playback] Playback problem - Playback Through Headphone Jack but Not Through Internal Speakers

2012-12-17 Thread Dakota Schneider
Following directions outlined in this thread:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1455705

Adding the line options snd-hda-intel model=auto to /etc/modprobe.d
/alsa-base.conf:

 sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
 then add at the end of the file:
 options snd-hda-intel model=auto
 reboot

Worked! Internal speakers now work perfectly, including hardware volume
control, and output switches automatically, prefers headphone jack
output if available but falls back on internal speakers when not
available. Audio output only appears to work when the Headphones /
Amplifier: Built-In Audio device is selected in the Sounds settings
panel (unamplified outputs barely-audible static that resembles the
audio being played, but this is the expected behavior).

Somewhere along the line during install the proper audio hardware wasn't
fully or correctly detected, even though it's supported and works fine
after setting that option in the alsa config.
