[Bug 262781] [NEW] Intel driver gives incorrect screen size, DPI

2008-08-29 Thread Gordon Ball
Public bug reported:

System: Dell Inspiron 6000, Ubuntu 8.04

Graphics successfully autodetected and set up, using "intel" xorg driver
and i915 kernel module. However, the screen size is incorrectly set and
results in a crazy DPI.

In gdm, this results in characters in the user-chooser and password
field about half the height of the screen. Once gnome is started the
xfont DPI appears to be used instead and most things appear normal
(although some programs like totem which I suspect use the screen
dimensions to set proper video aspect ratios result in badly stretched
video).

Adding a -dpi 112 option to the line "command=/usr/bin/X -br -audit 0"
is a fix for the incorrect size in GDM, or setting the size or DPI
correctly using xrandr. Setting the -dpi 112 option results in the
screen size in xdpyinfo being correctly calculated.

lspci reports:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML 
Express Graphics Controller (rev 03)

xdpyinfo reports:
screen #0:
  dimensions:1280x800 pixels (289x21 millimeters)
  resolution:112x968 dots per inch

ddcprobe reports:
screensize: 33 21

(ddcprobe gets the correct screen size).

Adding the option
DisplaySize 330 210
in the "Monitor" section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf has no effect - the intel driver 
apparently overrides any value given there.

The incorrect assignment is perhaps because of (Xorg.0.log line 409-412)
(II) intel(0): EDID vendor "LPL", prod id 0
(II) intel(0): EDID quirk: Detailed timings give horizontal size in cm.
(II) intel(0): EDID quirk: Detailed timings give sizes in cm.
(II) intel(0): DDCModeFromDetailedTiming: 1280x800 Warning: We only handle 
seperate sync.

Since the screen size does use the value in cm it gets from ddcprobe in
mm, perhaps this quirk is either unnecessary for this model or being
incorrectly applied somehow.

Attached Xorg.0.log for booting up without -dpi 112 setting in gdm.conf.

Note at line 453 the displaysize parameter is read from xorg.conf and

[Bug 1871580] [NEW] Session killed instead of suspended on screen lock

2020-04-08 Thread Gordon Ball
Public bug reported:

Running focal (updated to 2020-04-08), ubuntu-on-wayland session.

Trigger: either lock the screen manually (top-right-corner menu -> Lock)
or wait for the auto-lock timer (Settings -> Privacy -> Screen Lock).

Expected result: after unlock, previous session resumes.

Observed: see login dialog instead of unlock dialog, previous session
and all processes appear to have been killed.

This is a fairly serious usability regression.

Session lock invoked manually (~11:00:00), lock screen displays, click
mouse to get unlock.

Screen freezes for ~10 seconds, then blanks briefly and shows login
screen.

Looks like gnome-shell crashing at about 11:00:26 - interesting lines:

I guess a anti-disk filling feature is proving counterproductive here?
It's also possible that I manually disabled bits of whoopsie/apport in

2020-04-08 Thread Gordon Ball
Deleting the old _usr_bin_gnome-shell.1000.crash and collecting a fresh
one.

However, a quick bit of experimentation appears to show that this crash
only occurs with extensions enabled - after globally disabling
extensions it appears to no longer occur. I haven't bisected extensions
individually, but I'm guessing `gnome-shell-pomodoro` might be a good
candidate since most of the others are javascript only. Still not ideal
that extensions can kill the shell.

2020-04-09 Thread Gordon Ball
In my case it did appear to be gTile related also. Just manually
disabling the extension on the gnome extensions panel was also
sufficient to trigger a crash (presumably triggering the same path as
when the screen lock was activated). Presumably other extensions using
libst can have the same effect.

[Bug 1615574] [NEW] yakkety upgrade - 256MB boot partition too small to upgrade when using EFI

2016-08-22 Thread Gordon Ball
Public bug reported:

This is related to #1465050.

ubuntu-release-upgrader-core: 1:16.04.16

What I expected to happen: Attempting xenial -> yakkety upgrade, using a
previously installed system with the default partitioning scheme, would
succeed.

What happened:

With a 256MB /boot [1] partition on a system using EFI (having the
normal two kernels [2] with initrd, vmlinuz and vmlinuz.efi.signed),
`do-release-upgrade -d` exits warning insufficient space in /boot [3].

Manually working around this is fine, but I suspect this isn't that
uncommon a configuration and release-upgrader might need logic to remove
the backup kernel to free sufficient space?

[1]:

/dev/sda2   237M  121M  104M  54% /boot
/dev/sda1   511M  3.6M  508M   1% /boot/efi

[Bug 1262151] [NEW] mdadm generates incorrect config if array name contains whitespace

2013-12-18 Thread Gordon Ball
Public bug reported:

System: Acer S5-391
Contains two flash drives configured as (Intel) fakeraid. mdadm correctly 
detects that this array exists, and shows (apparently) correct metadata for 
both the overall array and the individual disks.

However, the name of the raid array contains spaces, and the
/etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf generated (presumably by postinst scripts) does
not quote or escape the spaces, resulting in an invalid config file.

I assume it uses the output of something like `mdadm --examine --scan`, which 
yields
ARRAY metadata=imsm UUID=
ARRAY /dev/md/Aspire S5-391 container= member=0 UUID=

Subsequently attempting to assemble the array then gives an error that
the second ARRAY line is invalid (treating /dev/md/Aspire and S5-391 as
separate arguments).

This can be corrected manually by adding quotation marks around
"/dev/md/Aspire S5-391" in /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf, after which the array
works correctly, but a check should probably be added for this syntax.
I'm not sure if this can be fixed just in the debian/ubuntu packaging or
needs to be sent upstream.

[Bug 1262161] [NEW] dmraid failure when array name contains spaces

2013-12-18 Thread Gordon Ball
Public bug reported:

(see #1262151 concerning the same issue with mdadm)

Ubuntu: saucy dmraid: 1.0.0.rc16-4.2ubuntu1

System: Acer S5-391
Contains two flash drives configured as (Intel) fakeraid. dmraid detects this 
array exists, and attempts to assemble it, but the resulting block device name 
contains an escaped space that makes them effectively unusable. The raid array 
contains a GPT-formatted disk, and boots with UEFI.

dmraid -s
*** Group superset isw_foobar
--> Subset
name   : isw_foobar_Aspire S5-391
...

dmraid -ay produces devices named like
/dev/mapper/isw_foobar_Aspire\x20S5-391
/dev/mapper/isw_foobar_Aspire\x20S5-391p[1-6]

These block devices correctly map to the correct disk blocks (eg,
mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/isw_foobar_Aspire\\x20S5-391p4 successfully
creates a new filesystem), but anything that attempts to pass the names
through appears to either fail to interpret the escapes or incorrectly
splits the device into two arguments.

`gparted` started without argument refuses to read the device 
(/dev/mapper/isw_foobar_Aspire does not exist)
`gparted /dev/mapper/isw_foobar_Aspire\\x20S5-391` correct shows the partitions 
on the disk, but attempts to launch further tools (eg, create an ext4 
filesystem in an existing partition), fails with non-existent device errors
`ubiquity` shows the partitions (providing `dmraid -ay` was run first), but 
similarly fails to actually create a filesystem or write anything into it

I was eventually able to install this system using `mdadm` to mount the
disks and `debootstrap` to install the base system (since ubiquity will
not work with md devices), but the experience was not at all fun.
Consequently the extra information/logs I can provide is probably a bit
limited as I'd rather not start messing around with the RAID again if I
can possibly help it.

[Bug 1262161] Re: dmraid failure when array name contains spaces

2013-12-18 Thread Gordon Ball
It appears to be the same as that upstream report, yes.

The RAID name has been set by the manufacturer in this case, and to
dual-boot without re-installing everything it was necessary to use it.
Is it correct behaviour for `dmraid` to escape the space to `\x20` in
this case though, given it is a valid character in a file name?
(Assuming there aren't different rules for block device names I don't
know about).

[Bug 1413963] [NEW] network manager cannot configure pptp VPN

2015-01-23 Thread Gordon Ball
Public bug reported:

Release: vivid (fresh install)
Packages:
network-manager 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu34
network-manager-pptp 0.9.8.2-1ubuntu2
network-manager-pptp-gnome 0.9.8.2-1ubuntu2

After installing network-manager-pptp-gnome, it is not possible to add a
PPTP VPN from the networkmanager GUI.


What I expected to happen:

Network -> Add Network Connection -> VPN -> Select PPTP and
configure with GUI

What happened:

Network -> Add Network Connection -> VPN
pptp is not listed as a possible VPN type. Cannot graphically configure VPN.

Possible cause:

Copying an existing VPN configuration to /etc/NetworkManager/system-
connections results in a VPN which does work. The option to add a new
one is possibly because of a missing file:

/etc/NetworkManager/VPN/nm-pptp-service.name includes:

[GNOME]
properties=/usr/lib/NetworkManager/libnm-pptp-properties

which does not exist after installing the above packages.

[2.737764] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
[3.658332] nvidia :01:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
[3.658338] nvidia :01:00.0: setting latency timer to 64

>From the timestamps, it looks like Xorg attempts to load the nvidia
drivers 300ms before the kernel has actually loaded/initialised them,
and hence fails. This certainly looks like a race condition. By the time
I log into a TTY, lsmod shows the `nvidia` module to be loaded and
restarting lightdm succeeds.

Is there any way for either Xorg to check and if necessary wait for
kernel module loading, or the low graphics dialog at least include a
better option for dealing with this situation?

[Bug 1285611] [NEW] python-networkx and python3-networkx conflict

2014-02-27 Thread Gordon Ball
Public bug reported:

Ubuntu: trusty 14.04

The python2 and python3 packages for the networkx library should
(presumably) be co-installable, but currently contain a common set of
files that cause whichever is installed second to fail.

python-networkx: 1.8.1-0ubuntu3
python3-networkx: 1.8.1-0ubuntu3

$ sudo apt-get install python{,3}-networkx
[ ... ]
dpkg: error processing archive 
/var/cache/apt/archives/python3-networkx_1.8.1-0ubuntu3_all.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite 
'/usr/share/doc/python-networkx/examples/basic/read_write.py', which is also in 
package python-networkx 1.8.1-0ubuntu3

While the library is installed in /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/dist-packages in
each case, both attempt to install (I think identical)
documentation/examples to /usr/share/doc/python-networkx, causing the
collision.

I assume either a python 2/3 independent documentation package is
needed, or the python3 package needs to change the directory into which
it installs documentation. There seem to be a number of other python3-
prefixed directories in /usr/share/doc, so this wouldn't be
unprecedented.

This bug was not present in Saucy (python-networkx 1.7-2,
python3-networkx 1.7-2), in which the python3 version contains no
documentation.

[Bug 751605] Re: maximizing windows in a dualscreen setup goes awry

2011-06-29 Thread Gordon Ball
I also use vertically-stacked dual monitors, however I do not see the
odd maximisation behaviour. I suspect it is significant that the two
screens have the same width, but different heights (1280x800,
1280x1024).

However, I do see the issue with maximised windows in the secondary
screen disappearing under the title bar. This appears to be broadly
similar to #707346 (the same issue, but in gnome).

[Bug 737706] [NEW] Firefox plugin overwrites root window

2011-03-18 Thread Gordon Ball
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

ubuntu 10.10, i386
xorg: 7.5+6ubuntu3
nvidia driver: 260.19.06-0ubuntu1
firefox 3.6.15+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.10.1
metacity 2.30.2-0ubuntu1

After running flash content in the browser, the last frame shown remains
in some part of the graphics buffer, and bleeds through into black
pixels of any window moved on top of it. (ie, a semi-black background
image shows the last flash frame only in the black area, and a terminal
moved over the area shows the last frame everywhere except the white of
the characters).

I had originally assumed this was getting drawn onto the X root window,
but the effect is not stored in screencaptures with either gimp or
xvidcap. Killing firefox/plugin-container does not make the effect go
away. Restarting metacity does remove it.

I don't know if this is a bug in the flash plugin or plugin container
(presumably related to hardware acceleration/DRI), or somewhere else in
the X stack. Does anyone have suggestions for more useful diagnostics?

[Bug 522478] Re: Failed to mount "iPod".

2011-01-25 Thread Gordon Ball
A workaround, at least for the second-generation iPod Nano, as of ubuntu
10.10 is to insert the following into /lib/udev/rules.d/90-libgpod.rules

ENV{ID_VENDOR}=="*Apple*", ENV{ID_MODEL}=="*iPod*",
ENV{ID_FS_LABEL}=="*iPod*", ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_NOPOLICY}="1"

This prevents any attempted mounting or handling of the the first
(system) partition on the iPod, after which the second mounts
successfully and is visible from, eg Rhythmbox.

Only tested once and might interact badly with other iPod partition
arrtangements - presumably this is something that should be done
properly in the /lib/udev/ipod-set-info binary.

[Bug 707346] [NEW] Window/toolbar overlap in vertically stacked monitor configuration

2011-01-25 Thread Gordon Ball
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

Binary package hint may be wrong, possible other candidates metacity,
nvidia-current.

When using a vertically stacked monitor layout (1280x1024 on top of
1280x800), with the primary monitor set to the upper screen.

The GNOME upper and lower toolbars (fixed size, not set to auto-hide)
are displayed on the primary (upper) screen. Windows in this screen when
maximised set their upper bound as the bottom of the upper toolbar, but
set their lower bound as the bottom of the top screen (underneath the
bottom toolbar).

Expected behaviour: either the bottom toolbar should appear on the
second (lower) screen, or windows maximised on the upper screen should
maximise only in between the two toolbars.

Actual behaviour: windows maximise to include the space under the bottom
toolbar, meaning that the active line of a terminal is hidden unless the
terminal is explicitly resized.

Other information:
ubuntu: 10.10
w/m: metacity 1:2.30.2-0ubuntu1
gnome-panel: 1:2.30.2-1ubuntu3

The multiple screens are being run using the nvidia binary driver,
version 260.19.06-0ubuntu1. This may be significant given the way it
handles X screens when multiple monitors are connected.

[Bug 644644] Re: Frequent PA crashes during playback - pa_stream_cork() failed: Connection terminated and pa_stream_writable_size(): Connection failed

2011-01-25 Thread Gordon Ball
I note an interesting variation of this bug which I don't think anyone
else has reported (ubuntu 10.10).

I am unable to play video at any time with totem (resulting in the
pa_stream_cork() failed messageboxes as other have described).

However, using either rhythmbox (which I would naively assume is using
all the same backend elements as totem), playback succeeds, but only if
a network connection is available. No error messages are reported if no
network connection is available, but the sounds frequently pauses and
comes out in mixed-up order.

I see the same behaviour with mplayer (works providing a network
connection is available, otherwise sound pauses and shuffles as with
rhythmbox). No errors are shown except for a warning that my system is
too slow to play the video (not the case). Mplayer can be made to work
normally without a network connection by killing pulse and using -ao
{alsa, oss}.

I looked in my pulseaudio configuration and could not obviously find
anything that should be network dependent (network sinks, etc) - the
configuration should be as-shipped, anyway.

I'm not sure if this is sufficiently different to count as a separate
bug. I will see if the PPA above solves any of these issues.

[Bug 631735] Re: Wireless is disabled on boot

2010-10-11 Thread Gordon Ball
The same bug affects me (regression on upgrade from lucid to maverick),
with the same driver (bcmwl-kernel-source).

I note for the reporter (assuming the problem is actually identical)
that right-clicking on the wireless taskbar logo and ticking "Enable

afterwards a wireless connection is successfully made (and stays up).

[Bug 631735] Re: Wireless is disabled on boot

2010-10-11 Thread Gordon Ball
Followup

I'm not sure whether this is a bug with the driver (bcmwl-kernel-source)
or networkmanager (network-manager-gnome).

Looking at the state of some things in the /sys hierarchy before and
after checking "enable wireless" in network manager. I'm not sure if
these are helpful or irrelevant, but it probably doesn't hurt...

/sys/bus/pci/devices/:07:00.0/enable "1" (before and after)
/sys/bus/pci/devices/:07:00.0/power/control "on" (before and after)

/sys/bus/pci/devices/:07:00.0/net/eth2/carrier "invalid node" -> "0"
/sys/bus/pci/devices/:07:00.0/net/eth2/dormant "invalid node" -> "0"
