[Bug 1551949]

2020-09-29 Thread Jonathan Watt
I got a question on chat about using SkiaPDF instead of cairo for this
and I might as well add what info I have here.

SkiaPDF does indeed [have functionality to
annotate](https://github.com/google/skia/blob/c0bd9f9fe533a7b8644392240c1250195aaee537/include/core/SkAnnotation.h)
the PDFs in generates. However, although we use Skia, we [only made an
experimental start on integrating and using
SkiaPDF](https://mzl.la/3iZiU7v) as a printing backend. Finishing that
off is probably still a fair amount of work. For anyone looking into
fixing this bug the expedient way forward is most likely to try porting
the functionality from a newer version of cairo to our old, in-tree
version, as suggested by Jeff in comment 20.

I'm sympathetic to where you're coming from, but this bug is filed
against the platform code and is about implementing the missing
functionality in the platform code. Platform developers do not make
decisions about adding/changing frontend UI such as opening dialog
boxes, so you would need to file a new bug against the 'Firefox'
component to get that attention.

As for the rest of the discussion, from my perspective as a platform dev
it adds a lot of text that we have to read through to check we're not
missing anything once we get around to trying to fix this bug. The more
bugs we have with conversations like that, the more unproductive time is
used up reading through comments that don't help inform the development
work involved. You're all welcome to comment, but please do keep that in
mind and try to keep unnecessary comments to a minimum.

choose Ubuntu, get the spinning throbber indicating that Ubuntu is

2020-07-27 Thread Jonathan Watt
Running the following in Terminal early on during the installation gets
rid of the 'grub-install' error and subsequent Ubuntu installer crash:

  sudo sh -c "echo GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y>> /target/etc/default/grub"

On booting up the installed system the prompt to enter the password for
the encrypted LUKS partition is presented, and the partition is
decrypted successfully.

However, grub almost immediately fails to boot and I end up at a 'grub>'
prompt.

[Bug 1889107] [NEW] Installer failed to write grub to EFI, installing to root on logical volume inside LUKS wrapper, then later crashed

2020-07-27 Thread Jonathan Watt
Public bug reported:

I tried to install 20.04, creating the following custom partition
layout:

nvme0n1259:00   1.9T  0 disk  
├─nvme0n1p1259:30   512M  0 part  /target/boot/efi
└─nvme0n1p2259:40   1.9T  0 part  
  └─cryptdata  253:00   1.9T  0 crypt 
├─vg0-root 253:10   1.5T  0 lvm   /target
└─vg0-vms  253:20 371.2G  0 lvm   

Everything proceeded fine until I got a popup window with the message:

  Executing 'grub-install /dev/nvme0n1' failed.
  This is a fatal error.

In the details part of the main installer window was:

  ubuntu grub-installer: grub-install: error: attempting to install to
encrypted disk without cryptodisk enabled. Set
'GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y' in file /etc/default/grub

The default install allows the disk to be encrypted with the default
partition layout, so presumably it knows how to set up grub to work with
encrypted root, and it could be made to be a bit smarter about detecting
when a custom partition layout includes encryption and set up grub
appropriately?

In the meantime, if anyone has any tips on how to get the install to
succeed I'd be very grateful to hear them. :)

[Bug 1888065] Re: [nvidia] Screen dies/black after changing display orientation or enabling fractional scaling

2020-07-21 Thread Jonathan Watt
> Does comment #2 mean the issue is gone for good?

No, I just mean that it didn't reoccur after rebooting. Turning on
fractional scaling broke things again.

The `full-upgrade` thing does appear to have fixed things for good
though.

Thank you for your help!

[Bug 1888065] [NEW] Screen dies/black after changing display orientation or enabling fractional scaling

2020-07-18 Thread Jonathan Watt
Public bug reported:

I upgraded to 20.04 over a month ago and it's been working fine. I have
one monitor (external). I tried turning on fractional scaling in the
display settings and the screen immediately turned black. I waited,
expecting the "confirm changes" prompt to timeout and restore the
display. It never did.

Next I hard rebooted, but as soon as I'd entered my password to login,
the screen went black again. Tried this a few more times. I then booted
to a root console and `apt update/upgrade` to get all updates.
Rebooting, I had the same issue on logging in. I then used Ctrl+Alt+F1
to get a virtual console, then back to F2, and a few other things. At
some point I was able to log back in.

Foolishly I assumed the issue was just with fractional scaling, and back
in Display settings I for some reason decided to experiment further and
flipped the display orientation to portrate. Immediately I got a black
screen and ended back in the same reboot loop, always getting a black
screen as soon as I tried to log back in. Searching online I couldn't
seem to find a way to revert the display orientation. From another
virtual console I was unable to run xrandr or start a wayland session to
get to the settings panel. To do that I was trying to run:

  dbus-run-session -- gnome-shell --display-server --wayland

But that's just something I found on the Web, I have no idea what I'm
doing there. It just gave the error:

(gnome-shell:) mutter-warning: **:  Failed to open 
gpu 'dev/dri/card0 Failed to activate universal planes: Operation not permitted
(gnome-shell:) mutter-warning: **:  Failed to 
create backend: No GPUs found

Eventually I found a suggestion on the Web to unplug the cable to the
display, and after experimenting with that a bit and switching between
virtual consoles, at some point it was logged in with a working display
... well, sort of. The colors and icons are weird like it's lost theming
or something. Going into the Display settings it seems that the
orientation has also been reset to landscape.

I'm filing this bug before restarting the machine so I can report the
system scan it has taken. At this point I've no idea whether I'll be
able to log back in again after a reboot. I'll try that now.

As said in the bug description, it's present in

As stated in comment 5, the solution is known, and this seems like it's
just a case of applying that fix again (I'm guessing somehow the fix got
overwritten before Maverick was released).

2010-08-07 Thread Jonathan Watt
I just discovered an old closed bug for 10.04 that seems to have a
solution for my 10.10 install that I created by upgrading from 10.04,
and gets me a little (not much) further with installing 10.10 directly
(ie clean install) from the 10.10 DVD:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/546393?comments=all

I need to add both nouveau.noaccel=1 and blacklist=vga16fb to the boot
options. That seems to fix the 10.10 install that I created from the
10.04 upgrade. Adding these same options to the 10.10 installer DVD when
it starts get's me past the black screen with the white cursor, and to a
purple screen with the text ubuntu and five white dots underneath,
with a highlight moving from dot to dot. That's where the 10.10 DVD
install stops unfortunately, and in fact the moving highlight from dot
to dot also stop eventually, leaving just five white dots.

So I'm wondering whether the fix Andy Whitcroft mentions in comment 118
of bug 546393 have somehow been dropped...or stopped working:

2010-08-06 Thread Jonathan Watt
I just took delivery of a new HDD and tried 10.10 again, but this time
by trying to go via an update to 10.04 rather than a clean 10.10 install
from the 10.10 DVD iso.

I managed to install and run 10.04 on my Macbook Pro just fine. Next I
updated to 10.10 by running package-manager -d. On rebooting the
screen just displayed some funky garbage. The same thing occurs on each
reboot. Next I tried holding down 'alt' while booting to get to GRUB and
got the following eight options:

  Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-14-generic
  Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-14-generic (recovery mode)
  Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-24-generic
  Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-24-generic (recovery mode)
  Memory test (memtest86+)
  Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)
  Memory test (memtest86+, experimental multiboot)
  Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200, experimental multiboot)

Selecting the first option gave the same problems (presumably because
it's the default). The third option boots fine, but into what is
apparently Ubuntu 10.04, not 10.10.

2010-08-06 Thread Jonathan Watt
If I choose the second boot option Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-14-generic
(recovery mode) then I get a semi-garbled screen, but there seem to be
four lines of output, which are more or less:

  /dev/sda2: clean, 144711/3055616 files, 982506/12207104 blocks 
  /dev/sda2: recovering journal
  /dev/sda3: clean, 363/26984448 files, 1754779/107936256 blocks
  [5.206069] fb: conflicting fb hw usage nouveaufb vs VESA VGA - removing 
generic driver

Above these lines is a thick (two or three text lines high) red/orange
striped bar, and below it a thinner ( 1 line high) blue striped bar.
Below the blue bar there are a bunch of different colored dots around
the screen.

The conflicting fb hw usage nouveaufb vs VESA VGA line led me to these
links, but I'm not sure they really help in finding the underlying bug.

[Bug 607643] Re: Maverick alpha 2 can't install on late 2008 Macbook Pro (Plymouth fails to start?)

2010-07-23 Thread Jonathan Watt
Note that it is the installer that got stuck very early on for me, not
booting. I didn't even get close to having an install I could try to
boot.

Regarding 10.04, Mac 10.5 wouldn't even burn the .iso to CD for some
reason. At that point I pretty much gave up on Linux for this upgrade
cycle and decided to stick with Mac for now. If you're interested in
pursuing this bug I'd be happy to buy a new HDD and try harder to get
10.04 burn an install to it. I'd be happy to spend time doing other
things too to if they're helpful in debugging this issue.

I'm on vacation just now, so won't be able to follow up on any of this
until early August. Let me know either way if there's something I can do
that would be helpful though.
