[Bug 548992] Re: Wireless connection frequently drops [deauthenticating by local choice (reason=3)]
Well, turning off ipv.6 at bootup hasn't worked for me. I tend to lose wireless after coming out of suspend, and that hasn't changed. What has helped is manually reassociating the Access Point, sometimes repeatedly.

Just two things for what it's worth: Fact: I've been using the 2.6.29-04 kernel with up to date 64-bit Jaunty on ext3 for a couple of months now with no problems at all. Opinion: I am still horrified, appalled, perplexed, and angry that there are neither any warnings on LiveCD iso downloads for 64-bit, nor an update for the kernel shipped with the iso.

[Bug 392234] [NEW] vboxdrv creation and permission issues during install
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose I installed the dependencies and then VirtualBox-ose 2.2.4 r47978 from source on Karmic (9.10). I could run it initially only as sudo because a vboxusers group hadn't been created during the install. I added the group, and my user to the group. Vbox would start, but the virtual machines (eg winxp) would not. Turned out the kernel module had not been compiled. modprobe vboxdrv fixed that, but then the permissions were insufficient. A question a href=https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox- ose/+question/74867here/a indicated that changing permission on /dev/vboxdrv to 666 might help. That does solve the problem for that particular session, but rebooting reverts to 660. I'm saw somewhere that the kernel module not being compiled is related to the fact that vboxusers is not created at the right time during install. This report I think is related to these older ones, a href=https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox- ose/+bug/147076Bug#147076/a and a href=https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox- ose/+bug/137599Bug #137599/a. #147076 has the suggestion to do sudo chgrp vboxusers /dev/vboxdrv Again, this works, just like changing perms to 666, but is not persistent between boots. I should probably also mention that the file /etc/init.d/vboxdrv is never created. So running sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup does nothing. ** Affects: virtualbox-ose (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- vboxdrv creation and permission issues during install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392234 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is just to second (and third and fourth and fifteenth!) the comments by mirix and Tim McCormack above.

I get that error message regularly in Hardy 8.04. Your computer failed to suspend. Check the help file for common problems.

[Bug 217389] Re: Root partition usage reaches 100% without reason
I too use Simple Backup, but I'm not sure the problem is as Jan Rybka says. In my case, it's not just background jobs without notices. gvfs- fuse-daemon thinks the root partition is full, and even rebooting doesn't help (so not just a matter of restarting the service). Since the partition is full, I can't do the simplest operation that wants to store anything to the filesystem, so this is a huge problem! As far as I can tell, what happened is this: After my last sbackup (the first under Hardy), the 2GB backup file was somehow seen as being on my root partition, even though it's really on a network drive under /mnt. I cannot umount it, even with -f. It says it's not mounted. I tried moving the backup to a different directory on the network drive, so that the backup dir it insisted on seeing was empty. It still showed a 2GB backup in that dir. I tried uninstalling sbackup. gvfs still thinks there's a 2GB file there. I'm running 8.04 with all updates installed on a Sharp MP30 laptop. This is an oldish (2005) slowish computer, and using Gimp for a huge file, plus Firefox with multiple tabs, as I was doing ... :S , can really slow down the system. It hasn't crashed, so I didn't think this was the problem, but who knows. If there's any workaround I can apply before the bug is fixed, please let me know! Delete ~/.gvfs for instance? Anything??

[Bug 227753] [NEW] gvfs reports root partition 100% full
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gvfs-fuse This is a major problem since it prevents any operation that wants to store to the filesystem, including /tmp. gvfs seems to have decided that one of my network drives is in my root partition. That makes it think the root partition is full. (it isn't, really.) A backup, made with Simple Backup, is in /mnt/mediavault/backup /computer-backup-filename.ful . That dir and backup now show up no matter what. I can't umount the partition, even using -f. I moved the backup out of that dir, and it still lists as being in that location, although it no longer is. In desperation, I tried to remove ~/.gvfs, hoping that would straighten gvfs out, but it won't let me since the resource is busy.

[Bug 35638] Re: Printer is not detected properly over USB
I'm suddenly having major issues with my USB-connected printer. I have a Sharp MP30 laptop (from 2005), Epson Stylus Photo R220 printer, and running Hardy 8.04 with all updates applied as of Apr 20. (As a user, not a developer, I don't know what the problem really is or whether this is the correct thread.) Before I read this thread, this was the problem: after a cold start, everything worked, but after suspend, the system thought the printer was unplugged. Other USB devices, like a thumbdrive, would not work either. I have two USB ports, and either one would become nonfunctional after trying to talk to the printer. Restarting cupsys, restarting X, nothing worked. Only a complete shutdown and boot up made the USB ports available again. After I read this thread and tried some of the diagnostics after suspending, it turned out that $lsusb or $lpinfo -v somehow woke the port back up and it would print. So what's the deal?? Any command to poll the printer or usb reminds the system of something and everything works again?? Bizarre. I hope I'm not the only person with this problem and it's something that can get sorted out. I've been using Ubuntu since Dapper, and this is the first time anything like this has happened.

[Bug 213476] [NEW] new partition naming breaks paths
Public bug reported: release: 8.04 Please note: I DON'T KNOW which package is responsible for the behavior. I'm GUESSING: gnome-system-tools 2.22.0-0ubuntu6 In previous releases, partitions show up in nautilus or on the desktop using their mountpoint. E.g. /media/data/ shows up as data on the desktop icon. In Hardy, the same thing is showing up as 12 GB Volume. This is ugly and for some reason rename is blanked out even for root, but it wouldn't be a major problem by itself. However, that also seems to be the name now expected in paths, and that's a huge problem. For instance, I imported my old Thunderbird settings to my clean install of Hardy with a clean install of Thunderbird. Even though in Server settings the path to mail is /media/data/mail and even though that's the same path I get if I browse to the folder, Thunderbird just trundles and can't find it. I asked about this on the forum (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=748172). Apparently, it's something in Hardy...? ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- new partition naming breaks paths https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213476 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 213476] Re: new partition naming breaks paths
Followup: it's not quite what I thought Since the default nautilus view doesn't show permissions and owners, I didn't realize the 12 GB Volume was owned by root, which explains why Tbird can't write to it. There's still a problem, though. Trying sudo chown -R me /media/data said operation not permitted. It seems like root ought to be able to give ownership to someone else? I unmounted it and then mounted it as a user, which changed both owner and group to that user. Then, for instance, Tbird could write to it without a problem. But having to unmount and remount partitions just to make them accessible to the logged in user seems less than ideal. Maybe I have some mistake in my fstab?
