[Bug 33269] Re: root filesystem fails to mount

2010-01-24 Thread jamescridland
The same issue has now affected me.

I fresh-installed 9.10 yesterday from the currently available .iso
files.

Having let Update Manager do its job of updating to the latest kernel
(etc), I am now unable to boot on that kernel. The error message is
similar to #76 here, and references the UUID in my fstab which is my
root drive. It appears to be comfortable about where my swap is.

My workaround (not a very valid one) is to choose the earlier kernel in
the list presented by grub. That does work well.

It would be great to understand from Keith Jenkins what a sensible edit
to my fstab would be; however, given that it does currently work on the
older kernel, the workaround is probably most sensible for now.

[Bug 33269] Re: root filesystem fails to mount

2010-01-24 Thread jamescridland
(And bizarrely)

I've done two things on this computer.
sudo gedit /etc/fstab
... I edited this file, then decided against it, and deleted my change, then 
saved it (in effect, therefore, re-saving an unchanged file)

...and reported this bug on Launchpad.

Either one, or the other, appears to have fixed the problem, and the new
kernel now works quite happily. This is possibly therefore not the most
helpful bug report in the world, but thought it was worth adding this
comment.

[Bug 293354] [NEW] Used cruft remover - resulted in unbootable system

2008-11-03 Thread jamescridland
Public bug reported:

Almost impossible to report as a bug - but I used the Cruft Remover
(System Cleaner) in my version of Ubuntu 8.10; it resulted in file not
found on rebooting the system.

I've been running 8.10 beta for a while now, so it was time for me to
properly install the finished version of the OS, but I could have done
without...

Anyway, I'm reinstalling, so vaping any evidence, but thought someone
had better know.

Similar on this Acer Aspire One:

[Bug 275054] Re: jockey-gtk crashed with DBusException in call_blocking()

2008-10-11 Thread jamescridland
I got this error when attempting to change my 'Visual Effects' (in
System  Preferences  Appearance) from None to Normal.

It is possibly related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145360 - I've
just grabbed the latest version of compiz from the software update, and
wondered if that had fixed the bug I was having. It seems that compiz
isn't crashing any more, anyway... !

[Bug 281683] [NEW] Incorrect partition creation when on an SSD (EXT3 instead of EXT2)

2008-10-11 Thread jamescridland
Public bug reported:

I'm using a little Acer Aspire One with an 8G SSD drive, which works
well with Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex.

However, on installation (from the 'live CD' downloaded a week ago), the
partition manager set me up with an EXT3-formatted SSD drive. A
journalled EXT3 system uses the SSD drive much more than a EXT2
formatted system; and I was experiencing severe slowdowns when doing
filesystem-heavy things - particularly when, for example, running
software updates or using Firefox 3.

All the advice I've read suggests setting up Ubuntu, on a solid-state
flash drive, using EXT2. Having now done so, the system is much nimbler
and much faster.

Assuming that people here agree with this, I'd therefore like to submit
that the installation process is incorrectly installing an EXT3
filesystem for a solid-state hard drive; and therefore that this is not
desired behaviour.

(As an aside, I got hopelessly confused when attempting to override it
and choose EXT2; but thankfully found a guide to simply change my EXT3
formatted drive to an EXT2 one.)

I'm unclear what more information you require to help fix this bug; but
I would see the current crop of SSD-based systems such as the Acer
Aspire One and the Asus Eee PC family computers as being important
machines to fully support in an out-of-the-box 8.10 experience.

2008-10-11 Thread jamescridland
I chose guided.

And yes, my suggestion is that the Ubuntu installer automatically uses
EXT2 when installing to an SSD - rather, that its choice of EXT3 for an
SSD is incorrect.

[Bug 145360] Re: compiz.real crashed with SIGSEGV

2008-10-11 Thread jamescridland
I noticed a new update to compiz this morning in software update. So,
went to change Visual Settings (in Appearance) to 'Normal', which used
to kick this error off for me.

It doesn't any more. Yay.

It kicks this error off instead. Boo!

[Bug 49613] Re: Flash content always on top of web pages

2008-06-07 Thread jamescridland
As a reporter of a bug marked as identical, I'm concerned that the bug I
reported is not identical.

Take a look at http://www.bbc.co.uk/ at the top right-hand side, and
you'll note that the clock has an unpleasant black background (unlike
Windows/Mac). It should be a mostly transparent clock.

To my view, this is immaterial as to whether Flash is on top (don't
care in this case as long as transparency works).

Do I need to report a *separate* bug again?

2008-04-03 Thread jamescridland
The clearest place to see this is if you visit www.bbc.co.uk - the clock
(top-right) has a transparent background in Windows/Mac, and a nasty
black background in Ubuntu. (Disclaimer: I work for the BBC).
