Thank you so much, Timo. This has certainly been an annoying bug. I have installed your -1ubuntu4.1.2 package and will report back if I have any further problems. Thank you also to Edward for providing a good explanation as to what "Fix Released" means in this context. It's great to have backed

Just to clarify, is this bug fixed in a current/scheduled-for-update xserver-xorg-video-intel package, or is it only fixed upstream? I'm currently using xorg-edgers packages to try to avoid the problem but would like to revert to standard packages if a fix has been released to stock Ubuntu 12.04.

Dac, I have a Lenovo ThinkPad X200s with the same problem. My workaround was a bit less drastic: I've moved to Unity 2D. It isn't quite as slick to use, but it looks and behaves almost the same and I haven't experienced the problem in four days of heavy use. (Suspend and resume ~20 times a day.

Thanks for the fast response. This is great news! Perhaps this functionality shouldn't be added to NetworkManager, as it isn't really related to managing network connections. It seems best to me that it should in fact be it's own tool, as it apparently already is. So, while I agree that this is

Thank you for the update. If I'm not wrong, this would make it easier for end-users to "tweak" permissions if you don't put a password on the grub menu entries (which you should do anyway, as otherwise unprivileged users could be dropped to a root shell) I know it's a bit of security-through-obsc

The mounting for /host is done in the initramfs, which makes this tricky (for me anyway) to track down. I've found a workaround for the problem: Edit /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-premount/root_locale Append ,umask=022 to this line: echo ROOTFLAGS=\"${ROOTFLAGS}locale=$ROOT_LOCAL

Since nothing has been fixed here, this bug shouldn't be closed. The problem still exists between the Via driver and Rhythmbox. Sure, the problem may well be with the Via driver, but surely Rhythmbox shouldn't crash when playing MP3 audio (not even using visualizations) because of a bug in the vi

I, too, had this problem on my HP 2133 with a Via Chrome driver. I can confirm that fiddling with the visualizations did indeed allow me to play MP3s. Since I don't like visualizations anyway, I found that just disabling them with the gconf editor worked. Here's what I changed: 1) Open terminal

I can confirm that this has been the case since at least Ubuntu 7.10. In Q#32163, Art Cancro mentions resorting the start order to "fix" the problem. Indeed, the following solved my problem: sudo mv /etc/rc2.d/S18nis /etc/rc2.d/S30nis This is a serious bug for environments using Ubuntu with NIS
