[Bug 792085] Re: Automatic remount of safely removed drive

2014-04-14 Thread Nick Sharp
I have this problem on 12.04 with a new Seagate 3TB usb3 external drive
ON A USB3 interface.  Will test later on 14.04; waiting for final
release at present.

For me, safe removal never works (drive always returns) unlike others
above, who find it does work second time.

I reduced the problem a little by:

System Settings/Details/Removable Media/Never prompt or start programs
on media insertion (TICK)

and dconf-editor:

org.gnome.desktop.media-handling 
automount (UNtick)
automount-oepn (UNtick)
automount-never (TICK)

Of course, then I have to open disk utility and mount drives by hand and
open the mount point by hand.  No big deal.

Interestingly, the problem does not occur if the drive is connected via
a USB2 interface, but that rather spoils the point of having a
USB3-capable drive!  In fact, it dropped the read time to about 1/5th
but made almost no difference to the write time, so if your use of the
drive is primarily to archive files, it seems: connect via USB2
interface is quite a good idea for now!

I suspect that the issue is related to the USB3 interface, both in the
drive and the PC.

A Seagate ST2000DM001 (2Tb USB interface) external drive CONNECTED ON A
USB3 INTERFACE DOES behave correctly on SAFE REMOVAL and does NOT
reappear in the  list in disk utility.

(probably off topic) It is interesting to note that on my drive (Seagate
STNV3000300) the interface at the disk enclosure is a PAIR of connectors
side by side, not a simple mini or micro USB peripheral interface.

[Bug 515435] Re: File-operations window is emtpy

2012-05-16 Thread Nick Sharp
If this is now closed, please re-open.  I have just experienced this bug
(see attached) on a Dell 9150 running 64bit Ubuntu 12.04 as updated on
2012-05-16.

I  was copying from an external 2Tb USB drive via USB2.0 to an internal
300Gb IDE drive.  I had earlier done a multiple drag and drop copy, and
the fileops window showed just what it should - multiple copies in
progress.  When that had finished, I did another D&D copy and the
fileops window was blank as attached.  Later still, I did another (two
files selected) copy and that time got NO fileops window at all.  All
file copies seemed OK though.

I have not yet rebooted, but expect I will see what earlier reporters
saw, that is, that the error clears at least temporarily after a reboot.

[Bug 599140] Re: Panel slow to open cause date/time applet

2010-06-29 Thread Nick Sharp
I have this issue as well.  Notes:

It is on Lucid AMD64 bit

It happens not on my account (used in the install) but on other accounts
on this machine.

Removing the clock applet solves the slow panel appearance issue.

BUT I also note that PLACES/CONNECT TO SERVER is very slow, and watching
wireshark while trying to connect as login FTP on my LAN (almost instant
from my account) it seems to me that the delay is inside this machine,
that is, the network traffic is timely and as expected.  An earlier
commenter about this issue (in the Ubuntu forums?) also mentioned
"network flaky?".  I think it appears to be slow network but is in fact
something slow inside this machine.  Ping to the FTP server is fine. Use
of TOP does not point to something hogging CPU.

Hope this might help.

[Bug 563555] Re: no mouse cursor

2010-07-08 Thread Nick Sharp
I have this problem: no mouse cursor after login, repeatable by logout
login again.

AFAIK I already had the metacity package as evidenced by CONFIG
EDITOR/APPS (metacity present)

WORK AROUND:

BLINDLY!!:...

1 Move the mouse around, clicking left, until the cursor is clearly on 
Accessories then choose Terminal
2 Click in the terminal window and hit return
3 The mouse cursor appears and seems to stay until logout login again

NOW that you can see the cursor, hit System/Preferences/Mouse and tick
LOCATE POINTER, so that you get some temporary flashing rings round
where the cursor is on the screen, just by pressing CTRL.

This will help you do 1-3 next time.

Sucks, but better than nothing!

I look forward to a proper solution!  I have had no such problems on
other machines, so I reckon it might be specific to Dell Optiplex 260's
Intel graphics hardware.  I believe GPUs include some HW specific to
showing the mouse pointer. Perhaps 10.04 is not treating this GPU
properly.
