[Bug 532633] Re: [Master] Window Control buttons: position/order/alignment

2010-07-25 Thread pallgone
It's funny how Ubuntu got big by laying emphasis on the community and
now you are doing things like this one here.

The movement of the window buttons is just one of many reasons I'm
currently wiping out all Ubuntus and replacing them with Debian Squeeze
(which is, even if it is testing, much more stable, does regard the
GNOME standard, doesn't have ads, IS a democracy, plus the devs don't
customize the UI to death).

On a laptop of a friend where Jaunty was installed she was prompted to
upgrade to Lucid. I was surprised to hear that. A dist upgrade can break
the system: why are you prompting users to do it??? Anyway... she
clicked through, the upgrade was rolling. Sure enough afterward the
system was broken and I had to fix it up. Lucid had multiple annoying
bugs on that laptop too. I took the /home partition over to Squeeze.
Went really smooth. One Ubuntu less.

I also don't recommend Ubuntu to other people anymore. I try to hook
them up with Debian for their own good as I can somewhat foresee that
this is just the beginning of more unpleasant decisions.

Goodbye Ubuntu.

[Bug 539515] Re: Attempts to mount floppy despite no media present - disable automount

2010-05-26 Thread pallgone
I had the same problem on Compaq Evo Laptop (has no floppy and no option
to disable)

I've got it working now so if you have the floppy issue do the following:
- comment out (put # in front) the floppy line in /etc/fstab
- blacklist the floppy module  add a line to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf: 
blacklist floppy
- now this update needs to be applied to the initram filesystem, otherwise the 
module is still getting loaded, so run:
  sudo update-initramfs -u
- reboot and enjoy

[Bug 573130] Re: Ubuntu Lucid Lynx/10.04 Hang after GDM (video link inside)

2010-05-23 Thread pallgone
Same problem with Lucid here on a Compaq Evo Laptop.
With Karmic it was fine. 

I've commented out the fstab entry and blacklisted the floppy module. Sadly I 
can't disable FDD in BIOS.
This fixed the reappearing messages on the console, but GNOME still hangs for a 
few seconds at the login.
This might be because of HAL which is still trying to probe the FDD.

Ok, I was able to fix it.
Blacklisting the floppy module needs to be followed by sudo update-initramfs 
-u
Otherwise the module is still loaded on boot...

Cheers

[Bug 318187] Re: get_cam_image(): len != img-bufsize, just letting you know

2010-04-25 Thread pallgone
Ok, I had the same error on my HP mini.

The error message is totally misleading, it seems that webcam-server
tries to use V4L1 which fails with V4L2.

To get it working you can use the V4L1 compatibility wrapper like this:
(check where your v4l1compat.so is located and change if necessary)

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so webcam_server

no error for me after this...

Happy hacking!
