[Bug 830173] Re: Shockwave Flash outdated version. Can't update it.

2012-02-27 Thread Gary D
I reported similar problems on bug report 933509.  There does seem to be
a conflict between the GNU Gnash free GPL'd SWF player and the Adobe
Flash player; both seem to want to be the only Flash player on the PC.

I had removed, then reinstalled the Adobe player, and kept getting a
message saying my Flash was out-of-date.  Today, I removed both the
Adobe and the GNU Gnash player, and then just reinstalled the Adobe
Flash player.

Now, Tools  Addons  Check to see if your plugins are up to date
reports that my Flash player IS up to date.   I can play Youtube OK.
The videos on http://tv.yahoo.com/primetime/  no longer report that
Flash is not present on the PC, but it plays in erratic 2-5 second
snippets skipping through the various videos available there.  Likewise
on the ABC.com site.

The Adobe flash player installed alone seems to work better than the Gnu
Gnash SWF player installed alone.  Neither works as well as Adobe Flash
on  In** Ex**  on Wi* XP, though.

I agree that the root cause of the problem I reported in this bug report is the 
same as what causes the troubles in Bug #830173.

Thank you for looking at this for me!!
 
I do have automatic updates enabled, and it appears to be working because I get 
updates a couple of times a week.  I always accept them.  If I run update 
manager, this update does not show as a pending update.  It's only when I check 
on the status of the addons within Firefox that I get this message.

[Bug 374561] Re: attempting to mount burned disc via GUI causes drive to stop responding

2010-08-08 Thread Gary D. Huffman, II
Fabio,

Sorry it has taken me so long to reply! I've been real busy with
business stuff lately and it slipped my mind. I was able to test Ubuntu
10.04.1 LTS on the same hardware today, and am unable to reproduce this
problem anymore! :)

dmesg output looks as expected (and no locking up of the drive), after
inserting and browsing 2 different burned CD-Rs normally:

[snip a bunch before the discs are inserted]
[104408.683202] UDF-fs: No VRS found
[104408.683207] UDF-fs: No partition found (1)
[104408.899461] ISO 9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A
[snip some buffer I/O error noise]
[104753.150346] UDF-fs: No VRS found
[104753.150352] UDF-fs: No partition found (1)
[104753.223992] ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3
[104753.328054] ISO 9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A

PS - The reason I didn't associate it with a package is because it's
unknown what's responsible or what was even going on exactly. That's why
I tried to give as much information as possible. It seemed like that the
default Ubuntu GUI (GNOME) was somehow confusing the kernel and causing
the drive to completely stop responding until a warm/cold boot of the
system. Thanks for the follow-up though!

[Bug 596963] [NEW] says CPU has NX capabilities but AFAICT it doesn't

2010-06-21 Thread Gary D. Huffman, II
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: cpu-checker

1) Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS   Release: 10.04
2) Installed: 0.1-0ubuntu2
3) No NX warning message.
4) Getting NX warning message:

This CPU is family 15, model 3, and has NX capabilities but is unable to
use these protective features because the BIOS is configured to disable
the capability.  Please enable this in your BIOS.  For more details, see:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/CPUFeatures


This machine is actually a Intel® Pentium® 4 530 (3 GHz HT). As far as I can 
tell, there were only 2 of these ever made (SL7J6  SL7KK), and neither support 
the XD bit. I believe the 530J (introduced later in 2004) was the first to 
support execute disable. Would be nice if I were wrong, but I don't think so! :)

[Bug 392204] Re: Huge CPU usage by mount.ntfs process

2010-04-09 Thread Gary D. Huffman, II
Additional testing reveals that writing really large files must simply
be more likely to reproduce the problem, but in fact is not a
requirement.  With a NTFS partition near capacity (around 4 GB
remaining), I was able to reproduce the problem by writing a file that
is just under a GB to it.  When I noticed that it slowed way down
several seconds into writing the file, I aborted and freed an additional
half a GB more (giving a total of ~4.5 GB free).  I was then able to
write my file not-so-large file at normal speeds.  So it seems this may
be due to some odd fragmentation corner case.

I'm seeing the same issue as comment #20. It slows to a crawl and eats
up one core any time you write a really big (4+ GB) file to a NTFS
partition. Tested using Ubuntu 9.10 (32 bit) on a dual core P4.

Oddly enough, I've since burned a DVD-Video disc with it and it has no
trouble mounting/using those in the GUI environment. I don't know if
anyone is working on or looking at this issue, but I figure it can't
hurt to include as much information as possible. :)

I don't know if this is relevant or not, but I've noticed a similar
issue with Jaunty (with all 4 classes of updates enabled). Some recent
update appears to have broken the default GNOME theme a bit. The stuff
in the upper right corner isn't in the same order anymore and the Trash
is no longer in the bottom right it's significantly to the left of the
Workspace Switcher. Visual Effects are set to None and haven't been
changed recently.

It occurs to me that I did recently increase the resolution slightly and
then later I restarted gdm via ssh (so someone else could log in

all the panel stuff like that. Sorry for the noise in this bug report

[Bug 374561] Re: attempting to mount burned disc via GUI causes drive to stop responding

2009-06-08 Thread Gary D. Huffman, II
Given the lack of response, I'm assuming this problem is very hardware
specific.

FWIW, the system is a HP Pavilion a730n (desktop, stock hardware with
all firmware updates). The system id is 7cb3dd11aee4db9554a5a15bbc6c847b
in the launchpad hardware database (there are 2 with that id now, but
it's the one named hp-a730n).

I'd be happy to look into this more if anyone has any ideas where to
start. The only thing that immediately comes to mind is to try the
latest vanilla kernel and see if it behaves any differently. I will keep
you apprised if I find any leads.

[Bug 374561] Re: attempting to mount burned disc via GUI causes drive to stop responding

2009-06-08 Thread Gary D. Huffman, II
Used KernelCheck v1.1.4 to build the latest kernel (using the default
settings, minus some drivers that weren't needed). The problem persists.

Attached dmesg from new kernel. I waited for it to boot to the GUI login
screen, logged in via ssh, mounted the disc (and was able to view/copy
files from it fine), unmounted the disc, logged in locally via the GUI
and the drive stopped responding shortly thereafter.

Apparently the problem occurs without even trying to mount the disc via the 
GUI. Steps required to reproduce the problem:
 a) Insert any burned disc into the burner drive.
 b) Login via the GUI.
 c) Wait a little bit for the kernel to realize there's a problem.

Any ideas where to go from here will be greatly appreciated.

[Bug 374561] [NEW] attempting to mount burned disc via GUI causes drive to stop responding

2009-05-10 Thread Gary D. Huffman, II
Public bug reported:

Using Ubuntu 9.04 (with all 4 classes of updates) I am unable to mount
any burned disc I've tried via the GUI (whether burned with that drive
or not). The discs show up under Places (but not on the desktop),
however when I click on it I get a pop-up error:

Unable to mount disc volume label DBus error
org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already
pending

If I ssh in I can mount and read the discs just fine. All pressed discs
I've tested mount fine via the GUI. Once the GUI attempts to mount a
burned disc, the drive completely stops responding even after the kernel
makes attempts to reset it (not even the eject button will work). I've
tested with kernel 2.6.28-11 and 2.6.28-12.

I've attached dmesg output from 2.6.18-12 after successfully mounting 3
different pressed discs via the GUI, followed by a failed attempt to
mount a burned disc. This is using the Philips DVD8421 burner with the
latest firmware (9H10).

2008-04-13 Thread Gary D. Brune
Top of the day, Mr. Conkling;

On Thursday I downloaded the latest series of upgrades to Hardy Heron.  
They installed normally except that when they were done and I restarted, 
there was no login screen anywhere.  The new splash screen is very 
pretty, but if I cannot log in, I cannot further upgrade HH.  Short of 
waiting for the CD to come out, how do I fix this? 

I dual boot with XP, and that is where I write this from.
