[Bug 251976] Re: Copy disc sometimes fails, sometimes works

2008-07-26 Thread Neil Woolford
I am trying to copy a data CD.  This is a normally formatted, once
written CDR that I now need another exact copy of.  (I should have made
two to start with, perhaps...)

I put the CD with my data on it into the drive.  After a few seconds it
automatically mounts and up comes a nautilus browser window.  I already
know what is on the disc and want to copy (duplicate) the whole thing,
not use individual files.  So I close the nautilus browser window.

Now I can see the Gnome desktop.  On the desktop is an icon for my data
CD that I just put in the drive, the one that I want to make an exact
copy (a clone) of.  I right click on that icon to bring up the menu
which has the option "Copy Disc".  I left click that option, to start
the disc copy process.

This far everything has worked as I would expect.

Now that I have clicked to start the copy, up comes the Copy Disc
Dialogue.  For a few moments it is grey, then it turns to colour and I
can use it.  I am happy with the defaults  so I click the "Write"
button.  After this one of two things happens;

1:  the correct process of reading the disc to make an image, ejecting
the original disc and prompting me to insert a blank disc and writing
the image to it, with all the prompts and dialogues that I'd expect.
This is success, and what I would expect.

2:  after a few moments the Copy Disc Dialogue disappears and nothing
happens.  This is a failure, and not what I would expect.

If the process fails (case two) then the icon for the original disc is
still on the desktop, and if I start the process again by right clicking
it I normally achieve a successful copy operation.

What I did notice, having nineteen discs to copy, is that there is a
reliable clue early in the process.  When the Copy Disc Dialogue
appears, the desktop icon for the original master disc in the drive (the
one with data that I want to copy) should disappear from the desktop.
If that happens, the copy process will complete.  Sometimes the desktop
icon for the original disc does not disappear when the Copy Disc
Dialogue appears;  in this case the copy process fails as in case two
above.

[Bug 287811] Re: Emptying Trash Fails with 'Error while expunging folder'

2008-12-09 Thread Neil Woolford
I'm still stuck with a deleted items folder that cannot be emptied,
causing the Summary and folder mismatch error.

I first tried removing all the ev-summary files, which don't get
recreated, confirming MiiJaySung's suggestion that they are now outdated
and unused with the move to a different database engine  (sqlite?).
However, removing index, cmeta and index.data files didn't solve the
problem for me.  Evolution did spend quite some time indexing on startup
and reinstated these latter files but is still giving the same mismatch
error.  Does anyone know of any other files (or well hidden ones?) that
also need to be removed?

For now Evolution still works for me, but I can't empty the Deleted
Items.  One day I'll want to do that...

[Bug 287811] Re: Emptying Trash Fails with 'Error while expunging folder'

2008-12-09 Thread Neil Woolford
Mark, it does indeed have a variety of folders, and also some vfolders
(search folders).

I thought I'd been through them all, but I was working manually so could
easily have missed something.  A quick play with the desktop search tool
revealed cmeta files for the vfolders although no index or index.data
for them.   Might these need to be removed too?

I'm leaving it for tonight as I've just cooked some food and that seems
more important!

I'll try again tomorrow, probably using an automated process to remove
the cmeta, index and index.data throughout the ~/.evolution tree (after
taking a backup).

I'll report back when I've tried again.

(I also upgraded from Hardy while keeping the /home, hence the presence
of the old style ev-summary index files on my system.)

It's only the vfolders (~/.evolution/mail/vfolder/...) that have no
index files, just cmeta files.

The normal folders (~/.evolution/mail/local/...) have both index files
and cmeta files.

2009-06-02 Thread Neil Woolford
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gscan2pdf

I have just installed gscan2pdf on my system running Jaunty.

The program works fine if I start it from the command line, but I cannot
find a menu item for it.

I would expect a menu item to be automatically installed.  I believe one
should be installed in Applications=>Graphics.

There is no sign of such a menu item if I open the menu editor.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled on my workstation, but still have no

I've also installed on my laptop, also running Jaunty.  In that case the
menu item does appear automatically as expected.

So the problem is peculiar to one of my systems.  Of course that is the
one I actually have a scanner attached to...

If others aren't having problems with this I don't think we need to
chase it too hard as I've edited the menu manually ;-  I'm still a
little puzzled though, as it is reproducible on the one machine.

[Bug 287811] Re: Emptying Trash Fails with 'Error while expunging folder'

2009-04-20 Thread Neil Woolford
In my case the problem persists in Jaunty release candidate.

The workaround that previously worked for me (briefly, removing files
matching "*ibex*" in /mail/local) has not worked for me for a month or
more now...

Bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=550414 appears at first
sight to refer to this bug, so I think it has already been reported
upstream.  A quick read of that report suggests that the bug itself may
already be fixed, but the fix does not clean up already corrupted
evolution installs.  There are suggestions in the report for removal of
further indexing/.db files to clean up existing damaged installations.

I shall try this when I next have time, which should be this week and
will report back with more detail.

[Bug 350772] Re: playing MMS / .ASX with totem needs manual install of codec package

2009-04-28 Thread Neil Woolford
I also had a failure to automatically install when first using the bbc
live radio player (streaming iplayer).

Same experience as Tenoch, adding gstreamer ugly plugins via synaptic
did not work for me.

However, using Applications=>Add/Remove (set to show "All available
applications), selecting the Sound & Video tab and the searching for
"mms" led me to the "Gstreamer plugins for mms, wavpak, quicktime,
musepack".

Installing this did solve the problem for me.  I'm not familiar with the
use of Add/Remove Applications, so don't know how it interacts with
synaptic or what the actual packages installed are called under
synaptic.  I was not asked to enable additional repositories, so I
assume that the necessary packages were available, just not found
automatically.

[Bug 124581] Re: Firefox greyed out, even though it's responding

2008-06-03 Thread Neil Woolford
The problem has been intermittent, and I haven't been able to find a
trigger for it, so it is difficult for me to test properly.

However, it hasn't happened to me for the last week or so;  I do have
hardy-proposed enabled and am therefore now updated to 3.0 rc1.  I would
cautiously say that, for me, the problem appears to be solved.  I shall
continue to monitor and will test (with and without Compiz) if symptoms
return.

For what it's worth the extensions I'm using are Adblock Plus 0.7.5.4,
Download Statusbar 0.9.6.1, Ubuntu Firefox Modifications 0.5 and User
Agent Switcher 0.6.11.  Adobe Reader 8.0 Plugin is present because the

[Bug 251976] [NEW] Copy disc sometimes fails, sometimes works

2008-07-25 Thread Neil Woolford
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus-cd-burner

If I wish to use nautilus to copy an existing data CD I place it in the
single drive on my machine.  It automatically mounts, opening a browser
window and appearing as an icon on the desktop.

If I close the browser window, I can right click the desktop icon.  Copy
disc is offered as an option in the menu that pops up.  When I select it
the copy disc dialogue opens up.  I click on 'write' (to *read* and
*copy* the CD that is in the drive, an open bug elsewhere).  After I
click on 'write' to go forward one of two things happen;  either the
process goes forward correctly or the dialogue just disappears.  A
second attempt usually works fine.

I note that when the Copy Disc Dialogue opens up (and after it ungreys),
sometimes the desktop icon for the CD remains on the desktop, sometimes
it disappears.  If the icon remains, the copy process fails.  If the
icon disappears, the copy process succeeds.

I'm using Hardy Heron, nautillus-cd-burner 2.22.1-0ubuntu1.

I'm confused.

I have *exactly* the issue described by the initial poster, it is
happening for me with Firefox 3 Beta 5 in a fresh upgrade to Hardy
Heron.

Firefox sometimes greys out and then returns to colour to continue, as
it should.   Sometimes it stays gray but works normally otherwise when
it has recovered from a freeze, which is not what it should do.

Does this need to be a new bug?  It has the same symptom as the old one.

Me too.  I have sheets created in earlier versions of OpenOffice calc
which now display with grid lines missing in some areas of the sheets.

For me, this appears to be related to cell formatting;  if I select a
block of affected cells and delete just the formatting (using the Delete

reappear in that area.  Of course I then have to restore any non-default

2008-05-15 Thread Neil Woolford
I've now found a better fix:

Step one;  highlight the area where the grid lines are missing.  (Or the
whole sheet, should you wish.  Start by testing on a spare sheet or an
area... )

Step two;  right click on the area and select "Format Cells" from the
popup menu.

Step three;  select the "Background" tab of the Format Cells dialogue.

Step four;  above the background colour selection table there is a full
width box displaying the words "No Fill".  Click on this to select it.
(The outline doubles when selected.)

Step five;  Click the "Ok" button on the Format Cells dialogue.

The dialogue will close and your grid lines will have returned, without
text or number formatting parameters being changed.  (This *will* affect
any background or fill colours that you have previously set.  Please
test carefully on a copy sheet if you are using these.)

Me too, twice.  I've now seen this problem on two upgrades from Gutsy to
Hardy.

In both cases the Gutsy machines were updated to the latest kernel
(2.3.22-15).

Following the general advice to kill the locale generating processes
(several times) to reach the end of the upgrade process, accepting the
error messages and shutting down after the final message about the
update aborting left me with machines that did boot ok and just required
me to run sudo dpkg --configure -a to sucessfully generate the missing
locales and ubuntu-minimal(?).  The resulting installations now appear
to be fine, but getting there was more stressful than it should have
been...

Happy to post finer details, install logs and so on if requested.

Evolution only appears on screen when this is finished.

The fundamental problem of indexes getting out of sync still happens.  I
can't see any obvious cause or precursor for the problem.

Problem not noticed here for quite a while, using 8.10 (Intrepid), compiz and 
Firefox 3.05.  So as far as I'm concerned the bug is no longer present.
I will have a try with 9.04 when it comes into beta testing.

[Bug 124581] Re: Firefox greyed out, even though it's responding

2008-06-11 Thread Neil Woolford
I downloaded the latest Firefox from the 'proposed' repository today, I
assume it would be rc2 now as it is freshly updated.  (3.0+nobinonly-
0ubuntu0.8.04.1).

I've just seen my first instance of the greyed out but responding
symptom for a couple of weeks...

This time I played with it for a minute or two; everything I tried still
worked normally in monochrome, an oddity is that RSS feed bookmarks
dropped down in colour as normal, over the monochrome Firefox.  Going
into the System menu and turning off visual effects instantly returned
Firefox to full colour.  It continued in full colour after restarting
visual effects.  Firefox was not restarted, the same instance ran
through the whole process.

I'm happy to provide log files, run debug versions and the like if I'm
told what is needed.

[Bug 124581] Re: Firefox greyed out, even though it's responding

2008-06-11 Thread Neil Woolford
It's happening again for me right now, so I'm investigating more;

The greyed out characteristic affects just one window in Firefox;  if I
open a link in another window that is in normal colour.  Opening the
link in another tab in the greyed out window stays monochrome.

Staying in the monochrome window, all the dropdown menus display in
colour.  That includes bookmarks, feed bookmarks, smart bookmarks,
address bar, google bar, and menu bar items (File, Edit etc.)

Changing the System=>Preferences=>Appearance=>Visual Effects from
'Normal' to 'Extra' instantly restored the window to colour.

Possible trigger for the symptom is heavy activity in Evolution
alongside Firefox.

So two workarounds present themselves;  reopen everything in a new
window and close the old one, or just tweak the Visual Effects settings
to a different level.

Will now try to see if I can provoke the symptom by running intensive
Evolution activities alongside Firefox.

[Bug 352711] [NEW] Package does not include .fdi file needed for full function (Jaunty/Intrepid)

2009-03-31 Thread Neil Woolford
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-aiptek

I am using the beta release of Jaunty/9.04 updated as of 31st March.

The xserver-xorg-input-aiptek package now installs via Synaptic without
errors.

However when I try to use my pen and tablet I find that I can move the
cursor around the screen without problems, but cannot click with either
stylus or buttons.  No pressure sensitivity is available in the Gimp.

A well know search engine led me to
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AiptekTablet where it is suggested
that for Ubuntu 8.10 it is necessary to add a .fdi file to enable all
features of the device and driver.  (This did work on my previous
installation of 8.10, but with a crash problem on startup if the tablet
is plugged in.)

The suggested .fdi file (also given below) works correctly

/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-aiptek.fdi (root:root)

 

  

  aiptek
  true 
  On
  stylus
  absolute
  0
  511

  


Note that this contains the two suggested lines to give pressure
sensitivity, without them clicks work but there is no continual
gradation available to Gimp.  Note also that the tablet must be
configured within Gimp as an extended input device for pressure
sensitivity.

I would suggest that this .fdi file or something similar should be
included in the package, as otherwise console work is needed to get the
tablet and pen to work in both 8.10 and 9.04.

The crash on login no longer occurs on my 9.04 system although it was
present on the 8.10 one.  I assume that the updates to cure this are
included in the latest build.

[Bug 355021] [NEW] Unplugging USB tablet crashes xserver (Jaunty)

2009-04-04 Thread Neil Woolford
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-aiptek

I am using Jaunty beta, updated to 4th of April.

For several days now my Aiptek tablet has been working, but with a
persistent bug.

If I unplug the tablet, the xserver crashes, giving a few moments of
screen garbage followed by a return to GDM from which I start a new
session.

I am not experiencing crashes if the tablet is left plugged in all the
time.  (Contrary to earlier experience with Intrepid, where the xserver
would not start if the tablet was plugged in.)

2009-03-29 Thread Neil Woolford
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-aiptek

I am running Jaunty Jackalope Beta (currently within a VirtaulBox
machine).

When I attempt to install the xserver-xorg-input-aiptek package using
Synaptic, I first see a long list of packages to be removed, starting
with ubuntu-desktop and xorg itself, followed by a long list of xserver
components.

If I risk continuing past this worrying list, Synaptic reports the error

"xserver-xorg-input-aiptek:

This problem was also present in an earlier alpa release of Jaunty
installed directly rather than in a virtual machine.

2009-03-30 Thread Neil Woolford
Jon, I notice you've now tagged this with "packaging", which I think is
correct.  (The program itself installed and worked fine on Intrepid.)

The dependencies reported by Synaptic include removing xserver-xorg and
replacing it with xserver-xorg-core, which apparently isn't happening.
Possibly a matter of exact version numbers, as xserver-xorg-core appears
to be in the repository (and indeed installed already).

I also notice that the version provided is xserver-xorg-
aiptek1:1.1.1-1build1 (jaunty) but the Launchpad overview at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-aiptek gives the
version as xserver-build2 so a slight regression there.

[Bug 50226] pmount sees a microdrive as non-removable, so won't mount it.

2006-06-18 Thread Neil Woolford
Public bug reported:

I use a digital camera with a CF II form factor microdrive.

If I insert this card into a PCMCIA (PC card) adaptor and put it in a
PCMCIA slot on my laptop, the microdrive shows as a disc in the
Places->Computer gui file manager (Nautilus).  It is however not
mounted.

If I try to mount from Nautilus, I get an error message from pmount that
the device is non-removable so cannot be mounted by pmount.

If I switch to a terminal, I can mount and unmount the drive manually
('mount' and 'umount').  There is no problem copying files from the
drive once it is mounted.

If I use a (dirt cheap, generic) usb card-reader then the microdrive
mounts automatically, appearing on the desktop and unmounting via right
click and 'eject'.  This is the behaviour that I would also like when
attaching it via the PCMCIA slot.

So the problem appears that when it is attached to the PC card bus,
pmount doesn't recognize it as a removable device.

Something very similar happening for me too with a Kingston U3 1MB usb
drive.

I found that the drive does mount correctly if it is plugged in before
the computer is started, but that plugging in to a running system only
occasionally (about one in five attempts or less) leads to a mounted
device, sometimes several minutes after plugging it in.  I've seen
similar output to the above (in ../log/messages) , but without the error
lines, when this happens.  Once mounted it works fine.

The device mounts promptly and reliably on a running Breezy system.

Very similar problem here, automounting a 1GB Kingston DataTraveller
U3usb flash drive.  (Other generic USB flash drives automount
instantly.)

Dmesg shows long loops of 'new device' before the device is finally
correctly identified and added after a couple of minutes wait.

I'll attach dmesg tail, the first 178 or so lines are just looping!

Once found and mounted the drive appears to work OK.

Ejecting works as normal.

[Bug 40850] Re: Mounting my USB drive take long

2006-09-02 Thread Neil Woolford
I've now tried out the DataTraveler on two other machines running
Ubuntu, one 5.10 and another 6.06.  The problem occurs on both machines,
though the one running 5.10 seems to be rather quicker to recognise the
device as automountable.  Typically it takes 45 seconds to a minute or
two to get round to mounting it.  6.06 can take long enough to go to
town, have three coffees while reading the paper, do some
shopping..

A further quirk is that on the system running 5.10, if I first insert
the Kingston DataTraveler I normally get the 'looping' behaviour.  If I
insert another, generic, USB flash drive, not only does that mount
normally but the Kingston device nearly always mounts *immediately*
afterwards.  This does not seem to work on the 6.06 system...

However, the problem may be to do with the quirks of the Kingston
DataTraveler with the U3 feature that shows up as an external CD drive.
This is preloaded with applications (for Windows) to allow you to (for
example) take your own copy of Firefox with you from machine to machine.
Is there perhaps a problem with a single physical device that announces
itself as two logical ones?  Are we looking at hardware or bios quirks
here?  I do know that the device behaves fine with my Windows 2000
workstation.

I'm considering removing the U3 feature from the drive and reformatting
it as a standard VFAT device to see if this helps.  (However, this is a
onetime operation, once the U3 pseudo CD has been removed it is not user
restorable.)

Suggestions please!

Just to clarify my previous post;

I'm away from any network that I have access to, so turned off network
manager (using the gui) and then used a dialup modem via GnomePPP to get

Under these conditions Evolution seems inclined to start in offline
mode.  When put online it contacts the mailserver and then asks for
password.  Under these conditions it asks only once and then works as
normal.

[Bug 140460] Re: Evolution : On startup unable to connect to POP server

2007-10-24 Thread Neil Woolford
I've now had another look at the possible interaction with Network-
Manager.

Basically I removed Network-Manager from my system and manually
configured the (wireless ethernet) connection to the internet.

The symptom of asking for for the password and then looping continued to
exist.  So it looks like Network-Manager is not the culprit.

Using the PPP connection (set up through GnomePPP) and a modem card
continues to work properly;  Evolution then starts offline;  when put
online by clicking the connect button it connects and just asks for the
password once, going on to work normally.

As others have observed, starting Evolution in a terminal with the
--offline option also works.  (Although I notice that the camel error
messages still appear in the console).

For me what happens here is that when using the --offline switch
Evolution still appears to start in online mode;  I guess that this
means it is detecting the network connection and switching itself to
online immediately.  Anyway, the password behaviour is then normal,
which is at least a fix of the symptom.

I can also confirm that shutting down Evolution in folders other than
inbox leads to a clean start.

As a temporary fix of the symptom I've added the --offline switch after
--component=mail in the Gnome Panel launcher for Evolution.  This seems
to work ok for now.

(I also notice that if running in conditions where the password dialogue
loops, cancelling the first dialogue before entering a password leads to
normal correct operation if mail pickup is initiated manually.)

[Bug 113514] Re: Not possible to choose selected panel resolution

2007-10-27 Thread Neil Woolford
I'm also having similar trouble.

What I'm trying to do is to set up the internal panel of my laptop as
the default (primary) display at its native 1280 by 800 (widescreen) and
the external display connector to 1024 by 768, the native resolution of
the projector I wish to use with it.  The secondary (external) display
is mirroring the main display.  (Previously I have set the laptop to
1024 by 768 when I wish to use the external connector to drive the
projector, which has worked well for the projector but leaves me with a
smeary display at non-native resolution on the laptop).

My experience so far with displayconfig-gtk is that I *can* achieve this
setup, but only after going through the process several times,
experiencing mysteries such as changed stated resolution of the main
(laptop) display when I make any change to the secondary (external)
display.  Sometimes displayconfig-gtk exits without doing anything after
settings have been changed.  Sometimes the internal display gets changed
to a non-native (lower) resolution, sometimes not.

Even when a satisfactory output is achieved, with both displays running
at the resolutions I want, I find I can break it by using the function
keys (fn F7) to cycle between internal only, external only and  both
displays.

I'm using a Lenovo 3000 N100 with Intel 945 integrated graphics using
the i810 driver according to my xorg.conf

I'm happy to work more on this in response to specific developer
questions;  at the moment I'd not want to set up an external projector
in front of an audience...

[Bug 113514] Re: Not possible to choose selected panel resolution

2007-10-27 Thread Neil Woolford
Checking things out further, I have to add that of course Gutsy's
OpenOffice Impress is a version that now supports multiple displays for
presentations and it is actually better to using an extended display
over two monitors (one the internal panel, the other the projector);
OpenOffice Impress now detects the two available screens and give the
choice in Slide Show Settings of displaying on Monitor 1 (primary),
Monitor 2 (the external display) or Both.

Thus it is now better to use and Extended Default Screen on the second
monitor and take advantage of the new feature in Impress rather than
clone the internal display.

I have to say that using displayconfig-gtk to change to this worked
first time for my system and the fn F7 toggling of displays on and off
now works perfectly for me too.

I'll leave well alone for now!

[Bug 146290] Re: gimp "open from url" doesn't work

2007-10-29 Thread Neil Woolford
This is also a problem for those of us who wish to edit files stored on
other machines on a local network.

I just spent around five hundred pounds on a network attached storage
appliance and was not best pleased when I couldn't open files or save to
it from the Gimp...  Then I remembered that I've never been able to open
files on other machines on the (Samba) network from within Gimp.

After some desperate googling and a coffee and some more googling I find
that the the VFS support module is simply not included by default.
Adding gimp-gnomevfs is a complete fix for me using Gnome.  It of course
updates the (Gimp) file chooser to show network locations, so you don't
even need to mess with the "Open URI" feature.

Can I request the package managers consider including gimp-gnomevfs as a
dependency rather than it just being a recommend dependency?

Setting "Master" to be controlled by keyboard is fix, otherwise the keys

[Bug 149964] Re: evolution: URLs with ampersand ("&") don't work

2007-10-20 Thread Neil Woolford
There's now a proposed patch for this problem.  (Milan Crha 18/10).

Any chance of testing this and getting it adopted quickly if it works?
This is exactly the kind of bug that is confusing and disturbing to
'average users' but too easy for geeks to say "Just edit the html tag
out in the address bar, Luser".  Which doesn't help Linux advocacy.
We're already stuck with enough (legal) problems getting people's MP3s
and DVD movies to play...

I also notice that in the body of emails from eBay the item names
(clickable links) also display the same symptom, with ampersands
expanded to &  Likely the same underlying problem is causing this as
well, and only cosmetic, but worth checking that the proposed fix
addresses this too.  If it doesn't, then something is still hiding there
ready to bite us!

I then opened another terminal tab, found the process number for "hardy"

2008-05-07 Thread Neil Woolford
It looks much better.  Certainly the process runs without the freeze
right at the start.

Unfortunately my system hasn't got quite enough room on / for the
upgrade process, so it did stop later on.  (As it should.)  After this
stop, the gui window greyed out and had to be killed again.  But that is
much less of a problem, and maybe only happens if the process is stopped
by another technical difficulty.

I will clear space on the machine and try again later today.

Ok.  Looking good.  (I still can't complete the upgrade because I don't
have enough free space on / yet, I need to repartition so it isn't
trivial on a production machine.)

However, when I run 0.87.27-test2 from the command line the process
starts properly and runs on to the point where it tells me I need more
space.  After this, when I click (OK) to cancel, the window now displays
the information about resetting to the pre-upgrade state before exiting
properly.

Busy day with work tomorrow (Thursday) so may not be able to do final
testing until Friday.  I think you could safely start the SRU process
before then...

2008-05-10 Thread Neil Woolford
Test case seems to be working fine here;  I'm using the Lenovo 3000
laptop which this bug was preventing me upgrading.

update-manager --proposed started up an instance of the Update Manager
that offered me a button to upgrade to 8:04.

Upon pressing that button I was asked for a password, taken through the
information panels about what would happen and asked to confirm.

On confirmation, the system has started the upgrade.  It is currently
downloading the files;  sadly it appears that traffic shaping is quick
to cut in, so it will be midnight here before they are all downloaded.

However, it is behaving correctly so far, thus I believe the
workaround/fix as uploaded to 'proposed' works properly.

Thank you Michael.

[Bug 205990] Re: [hardy] splash screen disappears after a few seconds

2008-05-11 Thread Neil Woolford
I had this problem with an upgrade to Hardy Heron, but only with the
latest kernel.  Reverting kernel to the previous one worked fine.

The fix given at the top of this bug worked for me;  the UUID for the
swap file was correct in /etc/fstab but wrong in /etc/initramfs-
tools/conf.d/resume.  Editing this file to the right value and then
updating initramfs has cured the problem.

I don't know how the UUIDs got out of step;  the system was
repartitioned using the gparted live CD immediately before the upgrade
from 7.10 to 8.04, but the swap partition wasn't changed at that point;
also, reverting to the previous kernel version worked fine  (presumably
the associated ramfs image still held a correct UUID?).

Thanks for the solution anyway.  I have little doubt that resume will
now work (should I ever choose to try it...)

[Bug 149964] I couldn't agree more...

2007-12-23 Thread Neil Woolford
This is not merely annoying, it means I can't upgrade several machines
that I look after for other users because they would simply, and
rightly, conclude that I'd broken their ebay search result emails.

(I know it isn't exactly what is happening, but it is what appears to be
happening from the point of view of a normal human user who just wants
to be able to click a link in an email and have it do the Right Thing
(TM))  I myself am getting irritated at having to copy and paste the
item number in the link every time I spot something interesting in an
emailed search result.

As for what this does to German language links that use (common)
extended characters, check out the examples given in earlier posts.  I
imagine this applies to other languages too.

If the technical problems are too severe (and this is after all a
regression, not a long standing bug), would I be on the right track by
trying to pin the use of an earlier version of Evolution?

[Bug 94194] Re: Nikon digital camera does not work anymore with libgphoto2 2.3.0

Me too.  Nikon Coolpix 990 used to connect (albeit with a very long wait
to load the camera driver) on Dapper/6.10.  Now, using Feisty/7.04 it
fails outright.  This appears to be a genuine regression.

Camera Import starts as soon as the camera is plugged in to the USB port
but  I get an error message in the Import Photos window.  It is " An
error occurred in the io-library ('Error updating the port settings'):
Could not release interface 0 (Invalid argument)."

[Bug 91250] Re: [edgy-backports] Error in libgphoto2 udev rules

2007-05-19 Thread Neil Woolford
Regression problem with my Nikon Coolpix 990, which works under Dapper
(with a long wait for the camera driver to load).

Now doesn't work at all under 7.04/Feisty release.

Camera Import starts as soon as the camera is plugged in to the USB port but  I 
get an error message in the Import Photos window.  It is
" An error occurred in the io-library ('Error updating the port settings'): 
Could not release interface 0 (Invalid argument)."

I appear to have the up to date udev rules, the first four lines are;

# udev rules file for libgphoto2 devices (udev >= 0.98)
#
SUBSYSTEM!="usb*", GOTO="libgphoto2_rules_end"
ACTION!="add", GOTO="libgphoto2_rules_end"

Running "sudo gthumb" appeared to succeed once, but once only.
Subsequent attempts have not worked, giving either the error above or
attempting to look for the camera at incorrect addresses on the USB bus.

[Bug 149964] Re: evolution: URLs with ampersand ("&") don't work

2008-03-07 Thread Neil Woolford
I'm glad to say that the issue appears fixed for me too in Hardy today.

My test condition was sending myself an eBay "You might like to look at
this item" automated email.  This time, the ampersands were not mangled
into html markup on arrival in the local Evolution, neither in the
displayed string in the message preview nor - critically - in the url
string passed to the browser.

The problem  persists in Gutsy for now;  presumably the fix will become
available, at least as a backport if there is a reason to keep it out of
the normal repositories.

[Bug 40473] Re: wacom-tools udev scripts should point to /dev/input/wacom instead of /dev/wacom

2007-04-06 Thread Neil Woolford
I've just been trying to test the recent modifications and fixes, by
running the Feisty daily build CD from yesterday (Thursday 5th of
April).

It still has the old 1:0.7.2-0ubuntu7 versions of wacom-tools and the
xserver-xorg-input-wacom and the the xorg.conf file still has /dev/wacom
rather than /dev/input/wacom as the device name.

How long before the changes are likely to arrive in Feisty daily builds?
I'd like to be able to test them 'out of the box'.

I know that if I install, I will be able to download the
1:0.7.7.7-0ubuntu1  versions of wacom-tools and xserver-xorg-input-wacom
(from the normal repositories, so they've got that far) and that if I
then edit the xorg.conf device name, all will work fine.  So my problem
is not whether the fix will work, but whether it will be included in
Feisty in time for release.

[Bug 40473] Re: wacom-tools udev scripts should point to /dev/wacom instead of /dev/input/wacom

2007-04-01 Thread Neil Woolford
I have installed a clean copy of Feisty beta (with updates) on a
machine.

I then installed Timo's packages wacom-tools_0.7.6.4-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
and xserver-xorg-input-wacom_0.7.6.4-0ubuntu1_i386.deb (with gdebi).

Now what happens is that /dev/input/wacom and /dev/input/tablet-graphire
are created, as links to /dev/input/event4  (or whatever event number).
I plug the tablet in, they are created, I remove it, they vanish.  I
believe this is good so far.

If I use sudo wacdump then it works fine for all device names,
/dev/input/wacom, /dev/input/tablet-graphire and /dev/input/event4 (or
whatever number...).  By works fine I mean gives right device name,
knows which tool is being used - mouse, pen, eraser - and gives pressure
and click information.

Next I edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf so that it points to /dev/input/wacom
and restarted the machine.  Now I start the Gimp and go to
File=>Preferences=>Input Devices and click the Extended Devices button.
"No extended input devices" it says.  This is very bad...

So unless I have done something stupid (possible of course), the first
stage of the process works fine and installs nice consistently named
devices that are linked to the tablet, but trying to make the X server
make them available to Gimp doesn't work.

Works for me now with 1:0.7.7-0ubuntu1 under feistly beta, though I
still appear to need to edit xorg.conf.   I also note that while things
are fine with Gimp and extended input devices if the system is booted
with the tablet attached, hotplugging a tablet after boot still doesn't
seem to make it appear as an extended input device.

Happy to do more testing on this, of course.  And delighted to have a
useable Wacom available in Gimp, especially pressure sensitivity!

That's what I was hoping.  I'll maybe do another fresh install and check
from scratch again in a couple of days;  the basic functions should work
out of the box without having manually edit xorg.conf...

I'll not expect too much of that for now then.  Needing to be plugged in
on boot is not as good as hotplugging properly, but for most users most
of the time it is good enough as we don't often change tablets.  (By the
way, I noticed links for /dev/input/wacom and /dev/input/[specific
device type name].  Might this allow the use of multiple devices one
day?  Or is it intended for auto-configuring the features and quirks of
individual devices?)

[Bug 572550] Re: Panel utilities not shown on startup

2010-05-03 Thread Neil Woolford
You are not alone...

I've just experienced this bug on a new installation of Lucid final
release on an old PIII machine with a matrox video card running a 5:4
ratio flat panel (not native 1024x768).  The panels would show correctly
after any change to their properties, but be incomplete again at the
next login.

My workaround was to change the screen resolution to 1024x768, after
which the panels show correctly on login without any tweaking.

I did see an odd 'flicker' effect on opening the screen, when the right
hand edge (where the panel display is missing) was refreshed after the
rest of the screen.
