[Bug 555408] Re: Shotwell makes USB mouse jumpy/jerky

2010-10-19 Thread gypsy_roadhog
Hi Jim
I've read and understood your message - I understand the problems of debugging 
a fault you can't reproduce. However, giving us a clear statement of where we 
are - without making it sound as though we were simple - was really helpful and 
much appreciated.

Having said all of that I have made my problem go away. I originally
installed the 10.10 beat release and the applied all of the upgrades
until it was up to date with the live version - everything worked fine
apart from the Shotwell/gphoto2 mouse problem.

So anyway I downloaded and installed copy of the full 10.10 amd 64
release. This is a pain as I need to install and configure all of the
extras that I had working before.

Well after all of the Shotwell seems to be working well with no mouse
glitches.

Neil

2010-10-19 Thread gypsy_roadhog
Hi Jim

I'm saying that I installed a beta copy of 64-bit 10.10 and applied the
upgrades as they became available over the next few weeks (using update
manager). The system was stable and I was not aware of any problems
apart from the Shotwell gphoto2 problem. Using synaptic to reinstall
Shotwell didn't cure the problem.

Just in case something funny had crept in along the way I then decided
to install a clean version of the live release of 64-bit 10.10 system.
Shotwell is now working perfectly (and I'm really pleased with it)

regards

neil

[Bug 555408] Re: Shotwell makes USB mouse flaky

2010-10-18 Thread gypsy_roadhog
I am concerned that this bug has been assigned an importance of low or
unknown.  I think it should be higher for the following reasons:- The
bug does not just affect the kensington mouse, it makes Shotwell
virtually unusable for those affected and there is no simple work-
around.

As mentioned in my previous post - if the problem has been fixed in the
latest version of Shotwell then we now need to try to get Ubuntu to ship
this updated version of Shotwell. If this is the case then please let us
know

Shotwell looks like a great program I really want to be able to use it.

thanks, Neil

[Bug 555408] Re: Shotwell makes USB mouse flaky

2010-10-16 Thread gypsy_roadhog
I am also experiencing this problem running Ubuntu 10.10 I would like to
run Shotwell in preference to F-spot or Picasa but, as things stand at
the moment, the problems with the mouse make it virtually unusable.

I tried the gphoto2 autodetect experiment and found that it always
locked up the mouse.

The version shipping with Ubuntu 10.10 is gphoto2 amd64 2.4.5-2. This is
well behind the latest 2.4.10 release so I tried installing from the
tarball. However, I then started to get into further dependency issues
with libusb.

I agree with bmhm that this problem is a showstopper and that many end-
users will simply move back to Picasa or F-Spot without anyone even
knowing that they tried Shotwell.

It may be that the problem is fixed in 2.4.10 in which case we need to
be contacting the Ubuntu release team to get them to ship the latest
version. Do you know the contact details of the right person in Ubuntu?
If so I'm happy to chase them up a bit.

Thanks

Neil

 I can provide the modules/binaries so you can test it, and get the
 proper x/y max values from the device.

[Bug 392825] Re: [Koala] WALTOP tablets not supported anymore (with quickfix)

2010-02-13 Thread gypsy_roadhog
Following some advice from Bryce I have tried using my Aiptek 14000U
with the alpha2 release of 10.4 Lucid  Lynx 64-bit. I did a standard
installation and then plugged the tablet into the usb port. Everything
seems ok - the X-server didn't crash, the pointer moves and the mouse
clicks seem to work.

I realise that not everyone will be able to use alpha software but  this
solves my problem with the aiptek/waltop drivers. If I find any problems
when I try to use the tablet in earnest than I will log them as new
bugs.

[Bug 392825] Re: [Koala] WALTOP tablets not supported anymore (with quickfix)

2010-02-12 Thread gypsy_roadhog
Mark I have two PCs running 64-bit Ubuntu 9.10 and I am trying to
connect an Aiptek 14000U. Out of the box I can draw lines but get no
mouse clicks. I followed you advice and - hey presto - everything worked
fine.

I then tried to replicate the success on the second PC but found that I
had introduced the bug in which the X-server crashes when the tablet is
plugged-in.

Could you perhaps give just a little more detail about what you did? It
would be nice if we could tie-down the fix/work-around as I think there
are quite a lot of people affected by this problem. (at the moment I am
having to keep a dual boot with 9.04 in order to use the Aiptek which
doesn't seem right somehow).

Thanks

Neil

[Bug 498008] Re: Waltop Digital Tablet clicks do not work after upgrade 9.04 - 9.10

2009-12-28 Thread gypsy_roadhog
I can confirm that I have seen the same behaviour with my waltop/aiptek
tablet. Frustratingly it works out of the box with 9.04

When trying to use the tablet with Gimp you need to go to
edit/preferences and activate the tablet as an input device. There is a
pull-down menu of available devices. Under Ubuntu 9.10 there is a single
waltop related entry. However, under 9.04 there are four entries (eg
tablet, pen, eraser ...)

This bug should be considered confirmed. As to its severity - well
opinions could differ but if you want to use your nice tablet with Linux
then it's a total show-stopper.

And I do appreciate the work and efforts of people who may be able to
solve this for me - I know that I would not be able to successfully hack
this driver code myself - thanks.

Re: [Bug 113816] Re: wlan0 device not ready - can't set essid -workaround

2007-12-05 Thread gypsy_roadhog

Brian

Thanks for getting back to me. My netgear card failed recently so I took
the opportunity to replace it with a Belkin card. This works fine so
this is no longer an issue for me.

The netgear card was only bought in April so I was quite surprised when
it failed after a few months. This leaves open the possibility that
there may have been an underlying hardware problem that caused my
problems..? I'm a bit sceptical about this as other people seemed to
be having similar problems.

 If other people are still experiencing problems then presumably they
will have raised their own bug-reports. However, as I no longer have the
hardware to reproduce the fault I think you can safely close this
bug-report.

Thanks, Neil

[Bug 113816] wlan0 device not ready - can't set essid -workaround

2007-05-10 Thread gypsy_roadhog
Public bug reported:

I recently successfully upgraded from Edgy to Feisty. My wifi (Netgear
WG311v3  pci card) was working fine. I the tried to enter settings to
allow the card to access a wpa network rather than wep. In doing so I
found that I could no longer configure the card correctly at all.

The card operates with the ndiswrapper driver

Removing the gnome network manager and network manager made no
difference. I also tried a number of alternative drivers for the card,
without success. In fact I even completely reinstalled feisty.

The card was accepting the wep key, key mode (eg open), nickname etc BUT
I could not set the essid. Looking at dmesg showed an error wlan0:
device not ready. Interestingly looking at iwevent while trying to add
the essid showed that iwevent was reporting that the essid had been
correctly set.. it had not.

I recall that on upgrading from ubuntu I saw a message that the card
configuration had been changed (I didn't pay much attention as
everything was working at the time). I think the message was generated
on modprobing ndiswrapper the first time). I also noticed that the
windows disk included a setup program as well as the drivers. I wondered
if the problem was due to some settings on the card having been reset in
the attempt to use wpa .. and iwconfig/ndiswrapper/network manager
were all unable to reset these parameters?

I desperation I reinstalled windows XP on a spare corner of the machine
( I know, I know) and used the netgear utilities to connect the card
to my wifi router. This worked fine and the card remembered the setting
after a complete shutdown and reboot into Ubuntu.

Looking at various support websites I know that this problem (or
something remarkably similar) has affected a large number of people. It
also seems to have been around  for some time before Feisty. This is
important because failure to get wifi running would be a showstopper fro
many people.

I am happy to provide more specific evidence if required but, meanwhile,
I hope that the nature of the work-around above should help the
ndiswrapper/iwconfig maintainers to understand what is going on.
