[Bug 1761851] Re: virtualbox-dkms 5.0.40-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2: virtualbox kernel module failed to build [error: implicit declaration of function ‘init_timer_pinned’]

2018-08-01 Thread James Harkins
After the last kernel update (4.15.0-29-lowlatency #31~16.04), I encountered this error. To resolve it, I needed to `apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade` *and* it was necessary to disable UEFI secure boot or the vboxdrv module would not launch. The bug is not resolved, in that a kernel update t

2017-07-13 Thread James Harkins
Somewhat sheepishly, I have to admit that I didn't read the error message carefully at first. I think I see the issue now. The flash disk was not clean when I started. I assumed unetbootin would wipe the disk or ignore other files. One of the other directories is named Sources. The Ubuntu Studio i

I'll add one more report. I have bcmwl-kernel-source 6.30.223.248 (Ubuntu 12.04). Under the previous version of bcmwl, I had occasional dropouts but it was never extremely severe.

[Bug 287719] Re: SCIM prevents "quick find" by just typing in nautilus

2013-06-26 Thread James Harkins
I see that this bug is marked low priority, because of the scim-immodule workaround. Please note that the workaround appears not to apply easily to Ubuntu 12.04 (the LTS release as of this writing). Ubuntu 12 installs Gtk 3, but it has no scim-gtk3-immodule package. It has a package for gtk2. Othe
