I haven't seen this problem for quite a while. I guess it did get fixed
by accident or by intention at some point.

Still occurring in latest Ubuntu. Using Xfce4 desktop with Xfwm4 window

[Bug 1630063] Re: specific USB devices disconnect and don't reconnect

2017-07-05 Thread Gary Houston
If you don't see specific messages like:

 HcDoneHead not written back; disabled
 HC died; cleaning up

Then it's unlikely to be the same bug. This one has been fixed anyway.
If you have a particular USB device that disconnects, it's likely to be
either a hardware problem (check it on a different OS), or a problem
with the USB driver for that device (maybe it's not supported at all).
If you think it's a bug, raise a new issue for it and mention the exact
device model in the subject.

It still happens occasionally. The menus are still there, but invisible.
I wonder if it's a race condition involving loading of fonts.

2017-05-09 Thread Gary Houston
I tried starting it as firefox --safe-mode mode instead. The problem
still exists, although it looks a little different, presumably because
the Menu Bar isn't enabled. It starts up without any space between the
title bar and the tabs. Right clicking above the tab gives the pop-up
menu but with Menu Bar, Bookmarks Toolbar and Customize greyed out.
Selecting Menu Bar produces some space where the Menu Bar would go, but
no menu bar. The option in the right-click menu then has a tick beside
it.

[Bug 1689653] [NEW] Firefox Menu Bar missing when starting up at fvwm login

2017-05-09 Thread Gary Houston
Public bug reported:

I'm using the Fvwm window manager. In the "Session and Startup" dialog,
I've added Firefox as an "Application Autostart", using the simple
command "firefox". This has previously worked fine, but since upgrading
to Ubuntu 17.04, Firefox starts up with the Menu Bar missing (below the
title bar). Non-active window tabs are also greyed out. It's 100%
reproducible. If I shut down Firefox and restart it, it works fine.

[Bug 1635005] Re: xubuntu 16.10 freezes when trying to print

2016-11-25 Thread Gary Houston
It's probably bug #1630063. The system seems to lock up because the
keyboard and/or mouse are plugged into the same USB hub as the printer.
If you can plug them differently, only the printer will lock up. Running
"lsusb" in a terminal will show which hub the devices are connected to.
If you can still type after a lockup, then the typing "dmesg" in a
terminal may show ohci-pci errors.

[Bug 1602904] [NEW] Application menus go off screen the first time they are displayed

2016-07-13 Thread Gary Houston
Public bug reported:

Using the bookmarks menu in Firefox, when going to a nested bookmark (3
deep) the menu always opens partly off the right edge of my screen, but
only on the first time the menu is displayed. If the menu is closed and
then reopened, it appears to the left of the previous menu so will be
visible.

Details: Menus are displayed in the application window title bar.
Firefox is not full screen, and displayed on the right half of my
monitor. Each level of bookmark menus opens to the right of the
previous, and the third level is only just visible with most of the text
off the right edge of the screen.

What should happen: when the menu is opened the 2nd time, it's fine,
it's on the screen to the left of the previous menu. The same thing
should happen the first time its opened.

[Bug 1255165] Re: make it clearer that crash files may contain private data and make it easier to opt out

2013-12-30 Thread Gary Houston
Interesting quote from http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology
/report-nsa-intercepts-computer-deliveries/2013/12/29/dc14c3da-70a2-11e3
-bc6b-712d770c3715_story.html?clsrd

One of the most striking reported revelations concerned the NSA’s
alleged ability to spy on Microsoft Corp.’s crash reports, familiar to
many users of the Windows operating system as the dialogue box which
pops up when a game freezes or a Word document dies. The reporting
system is intended to help Microsoft engineers improve their products
and fix bugs, but Der Spiegel said the NSA was also sifting through the
reports to help spies break into machines running Windows. One NSA
document cited by the magazine appeared to poke fun at Microsoft’s
expense, replacing the software giant’s standard error report message
with the words: “This information may be intercepted by a foreign sigint
(signals intelligence) system to gather detailed information and better
exploit your machine.”

[Bug 1255165] Re: make it clearer that crash files may contain private data and make it easier to opt out

2013-12-17 Thread Gary Houston
I think this is really a request for apport, which shows the error
dialog, instead of Whoopsie, which if I understand it correctly just
uploads anything dumped in /var/crash to daisy.ubuntu.com. It's quite a
neat system, and I may find these crash reports in /var/crash useful now
that I know how to unpack them.

I have some other suggestions (I'm assuming that the crash reports are
still useful without the core dump included):

* Add a second checkbox in the crash dialog for "include core dump". 
* Add a warning beside this checkbox like "The core dump contains the program 
and the data it was working with. It's size is 4032MB which may take some time 
to upload."
* If the core dump is larger than a given size (configurable somewhere, maybe a 
couple of MB by default) then untick the option in the dialog so that it's not 
included by default. Or maybe untick the box by default in every case.

[Bug 1255165] Re: CoreDump should never be sent

2013-12-03 Thread Gary Houston
This is a good reason to make sending corefiles a non-default feature.
Is it even possible to send a crash report without an attached core
dump? I only noticed the feature to disable crash reporting entirely.

Another problem is that core dump files can be enormous,  and perhaps a
computer with a slow network connection may not be switched on long
enough to allow the upload to ever complete. I logged that separately at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/whoopsie/+bug/1179364, but it seems that bugs
there aren't monitored.

2013-11-05 Thread Gary Houston
I've noticed that the same thing happens when using Xubuntu (XFCE),
which suggests that it's nothing to do with Unity but has something to
do with the underlying layers in the window system. Since X is a
networked window system, you may expect something like this to happen,
but I don't remember seeing it until the last couple of years.

Once in the console I can use kill -9 to terminate X, but the graphical
session manager doesn't restart automatically. In Xubuntu I'd guess that
you need to restart lightdm if you want to avoid rebooting.

[Bug 964775] Re: Boot is delayed due to missing static network interface

2013-05-06 Thread Gary Houston
I think the default behaviour should be that network problems shouldn't
block login. The exception may be a dedicated workstation with remotely
mounted home directories, where you may want it to block forever. The
current compromise of waiting 120s isn't correct for either situation.

There's also the issue of server processes which shouldn't be started
until the network is up, and this seems to be one of the motivations for
the change to a 120s timeout.

Is it a matter of chaining the upstart dependencies differently?
Networking problems may need to block certain server processes but not
block logging in. It should be easy to alternatively configure the
system (presumably by changing one of the upstart files) so that network
problems do block login.

[Bug 1176771] Re: source code should be converted from noweb to C

2013-05-06 Thread Gary Houston
Yeah, that's true, but I thought I'd mention it here since Andrew
Shadura seems to be active in Ubuntu too (and i don't have a Debian
account). And since he isn't the original developer of the package,
there's no reason to think he's attached to noweb.

[Bug 1176771] [NEW] source code should be converted from noweb to C

2013-05-05 Thread Gary Houston
Public bug reported:

The source code of this package has been written as a single large NoWeb
file. The Makefile automatically converts it into C and documentation.
However, I found this initially mystifying, as I suspect it would also
be to other casual readers who would like to know better how the
software works. I imagine it also makes it difficult to maintain. It
would be easy enough to convert it to a conventional C project:

Run the makefile to generate the C files.
Generate again a few C files that get deleted, for some reason.
Clean up the C files by removing #line indicators and reindenting.
Copy any useful documentation from the noweb file into new C comments.
Rework the makefile to build from C, removing references to noweb.
Delete unneeded noweb files and build tools.

[Bug 1066374] Re: "/etc/init.d/networking restart" causes unity to crash (12.10 beta)

2013-05-05 Thread Gary Houston
This happens to me also. I only notice it when installing a new system,
since I don't use Unity otherwise. I just saw it in 13.04:

I don't use network-manager, in fact I've uninstalled it.
I've configured static networks for 3 ethernet cards in /etc/network/interfaces
Running "sudo restart networking" now causes the problem. It doesn't kill the 
Unity session, but terminates all the running programs and makes it unusable.
All I can do after that is switch to a terminal with ctr-alt-F1 and reboot.

I agree, as I wrote on this bug:

report seems more relevant however. In my case, it's not even my primary

[Bug 995407] Re: Even if network is fully configured upstart waits for network configuration up to three minutes

2012-09-16 Thread Gary Houston
I just had to edit /etc/init/failsafe.conf to remove all the sleeps.
Otherwise, my system will sometimes take an extra few minutes to boot,
for no good reason.

My setup is a bit unusual, but not too bizarre. I have a router with a
single ethernet connection which is connected to my main computer. I
have a second network card which connects it to a second computer (used
by my partner).  I have a script that enables NAT forwarding to the 2nd
computer (which itself isn't very user-friendly to configure, but that's
a different story) but it doesn't play well with network-manager so I've
uninstalled that latter and configured the network manually in
/etc/network/interfaces.

Now I find that everthing works fine if I switch on both computers
together, which is the usual case. However if I switch on mine only, it
hangs in failsafe.conf. Editing failsafe.conf seemed like the best
solution, but it's not very elegant.

Unfortunately disabling pulseaudio makes Firefox extremely unresponsive,

The problem goes away if I disable pulseaudio, although I guess this is

2010-11-13 Thread Gary Houston
I also have this problem at the moment. The sound has worked fine in the
past, including after I installed 10.10. But about a week ago I had this
problem. I didn't investigate it and it was gone the next day. Yesterday
I had it again, and it's still present today, after shutting down the
computer overnight. The sound can be unmuted as long as no application
is playing sound. But as soon as something produces sound, it mutes
again immediately. Attempting to unmute while sound is playing just
produces sound for a fraction of a second and then it automatically
remutes.

Tried a 6.10 live CD. This one also passes the self-test, but gets I/O

I suppose it's a hardware problem - dodgy CD drive perhaps.

[Bug 118191] 7.04 live CD errors on IBM Thinkpad T40

2007-05-31 Thread Gary Houston
Public bug reported:

I'm trying to install 7.04 on a laptop that's currently running a
previous version of Ubuntu. However the installer has been crashing at
different places, locking up the machine so that I can't examine the log
files.

During this boot from the live CD I have already had some problems,
before running the installer.  A warning dialogue said that the Gnome
configuration daemon failed to start up, and likewise for a clock
applet.

The syslog seems to show errors reading from the CD. The CD self-test,
run on this machine, didn't find any problems. This is the second CD
I've tried.

I'll see if I can find a way to attach the complete log file, then I'll
try reinstalling the previous Ubuntu.
