Hi again Here are some (I'm afraid) quite non-scientific notes... I've now worked a full day with the backports installed without a system freeze, so in that respect its seem to have worked!
But, there seem to be a side-effect; whether its related I can't say, but it appeared very timely... Printing from Adobe acrobat reader (8.1.3-1) works only intermittently. Mostly the printing dialog just freezes up, but it freezes a bit differently from time to time - Mostly the print dialog shows up completely blank (with just two white stripes where I think two combo-boxes are supposed to be), and after some time the adobe-window darkens as it does when its not responding - Sometimes the print dialog does show up properly with printers listed and all, but clicking any button depresses the button but before anything else happens, it freezes - Once in maybe 5-10 tries I do get something printed! When it freezes it requires a terminal 'kill -9' to get the processes killed (clicking 'Force Quit'-button does not properly kill the process...). This happens at work with a web-login type of network (you need to sign in through a web-interface to get access to the net) with a kerberos authentication-thing for the print system. At home with a printer connected through a samba server I have seen no such problems... The Adobe issue I haven't experienced prior to installing the backport, and the only other thing I've done to my system since, is the updates to the acpi-support packages that's been rolled out (version 0.114-0intrepid1 to 0.114-0intrepid2). Neither reinstalling acroread nor removing the backports helped, so maybe its just coincidences... I've also tried printing from both evince and epdfview. None of these two report a problem, but nothing gets printed. Ofcourse, I've tried many different document, among others ones I printed without problems before installing backports. /Nikke -- Kerneloops resulting in a flashing Cap-lock led and a complete system freeze... https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/300219 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
