.cobnet, you are right!  Sorry, I should have posted back here.

It is still flaky, if I hit Ctl+Alt+F1 to go to a virtual console, I get
a black screen.  Or if I restart X, by logout/login it also goes black.
So in those cases and system reboot is required.  If X just starts once
and never again -- things are good.

I'm glad to have confirmation from another source.  Like I said, a new
vanilla kernel worked around my problem.  I suspect this issue goes away
with 10.10 since it will have an even newer kernel.

.cobnet can you test the 10.10 beta?

Updates on kernel-ppa... 
2.6.34-020634 does not boot.  
2.6.33-02063304 boots to console like 3303 did.

I'd like to know how to blacklist the ATI ES1000 or give this bug report
better debug output.  When 2.6.33 boots the first thing it says is there
is a PCI address space collision.  I'll attach the 2.6.33 dmesg - in
hopes of that helping.

I'm unsure how I can provide better information.  I suspect upstream is
moving forward, and this bug probably doesn't affect many people.

I've found a work around:
 - install 10.04 without an addon video card installed
 - install 2.6.34 from kernel-ppa
 - blacklist radeon
 - install an NVidia addon card

All are necessary.

[Bug 573668] Re: FBDEV(0): FBIOPUTCMAP: Invalid argument on Lucid

2010-05-21 Thread serrs
This affects me too.

FBDEV(0): FBIOPUTCMAP: Invalid argument

Running 2.6.34-lucid (from kernel-ppa) on plain Ubuntu 10.04 i386.  So,
I don't think it's kubuntu or amd64 specific.  It appears to be 2.6.34
on lucid specific.  Xorg is using the nouveau driver but appears to be
sick -- I assume this error is causing slowness in 2D acceleration.

(I had to upgrade to 2.6.34 to get away from an odd drm problem with the
ATI ES1000 that is built into a Dell SC440.)

I'd love to disable it but it appears there is no BIOS option to do so.
We have several of these and atleast one needs to have DVI out from an
addon video card.

Also note, the integrated + addon have no problems with 9.04 and I
believe 8.10 and 9.10 also.

[Bug 582414] [NEW] lucid freezes on Dell SC440 with addon video card

2010-05-18 Thread serrs
Public bug reported:

During installation of Ubuntu 10.04 (x86) on any Dell SC440 with an
addon PCI video card, boot up will freeze.  The kernel parameter
vga=791 allows the installation to complete.

On first boot, Ubuntu 10.04 freezes about 8 seconds into boot process
with black screen.  Kernel parameters vga=791, text, nomodeset do not
allow kernel to boot and result in no visible kernel debug output.

This behavior is seen with any Dell SC440 and either ATI Radeon and
NVidia addon PCI video cards.

An attempt to boot 2.6.33-02063303-generic, http://kernel.ubuntu.com
/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.33.3-lucid/, was successful.  It left me at
the text console login prompt.  Running startx was also successful.
Another attempt with 2.6.34-020634rc7 was unsuccessful and behaved
similar to the stock Ubuntu 10.04 kernel.

How can I provide kernel debug output?  I can't see it.  Will I need to
dump kernel output to the serial port?

Hi,

I just installed 9.10 on a new consumer laptop, an HP DV4-1548dx.  It
has the above problem, with integrated audio and also with selecting a
bluetooth headset.

My Dell Mini9, with 9.10 (remix) works fine with Ekiga.

I'm beginning to wonder if there is a hardware problem.

I tried to remove pulse audio as above, but the sound applet said it
could not find any devices, so I installed ubuntu-desktop again.

I'm willing to try things.

I found the deciding factor on both the HP-DV4 and Mini9.  For Ekiga to hang 
and use 100%, Ubuntu merely needs to have a bluetooth dongle plugged in.  NO 
pairing needed!

Happens with both laptops...  and with 2 different Bluetooth dongles.
One of which has no history of pairing on either install.

Reproducible.

[Bug 218494] Re: Hal does not mount usb devices (pen drives)

This was very useful, I had the same problem.

To be more clear, a person needs to remove -novtswitch -sharevts from
ONLY one of the seat commands in gdm.conf.  The Seat without those two
switches will then get control over inserted USB media etc.

[Bug 138181] Re: Network Manager's openvpn plugin doesn't respect DHCP's domain setting.

2008-01-24 Thread serrs
I'm having the same problem as VDR.  Apparently the patch also causes
the resolv.conf to get replaced with no server line if the OpenVPN
server does not push DNS.

I don't want my OpenVPN server to push DNS.  ---  my resolv.conf gets
clobbered. (with white space)

I have my OpenVPN server push DNS --- the patch above does it's job.

From my point of view, this patch causes more problem than it fixes.

[Bug 154401] Re: gnome keyboard layout question at each login

2007-10-27 Thread serrs
I seem to be able to put it in this state by running VMware workstation on my 
workstation from my notebook.  At that point VMware says something about 
mismatched keyboards.  Apparently VMware has hooks in gnome and adjusts the 
keyboard.  Next time I login to the workstation (head) it gives me the infamous 
message:  The X system keyboard settings differ from your current GNOME 
keyboard
settings. [...]

Maybe this is a VMware workstation bug.  But Gnome should be satisfied
one way or another... and it never it, always prompts after that point.

Magnus: thanks for the helpful tip.

I also have this exact same problem, but I did NOT do an upgrade from
feisty... it was a clean install of gutsy x86_64.  And English keyboards
us.

It seems to have been tickled when I logged in remotely, but I can't be sure.  
This is what I suspect caused mine:
   ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED] gnome-terminal
I did this from a laptop with a pc101 keyboard to my workstation with a pc105.  
On subsequent logins on the workstation I get the dialog box.

I will try to make it happen again and report back.

OK... the ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED] gnome-terminal didn't seem to create this
problem...

But, my home directory's config files probably do have a lineage back to
