[Bug 296064] [NEW] [Intrepid] Text editing in KMail 1.0.1 dreadfully slow

2008-11-09 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Public bug reported:

Since upgraded from Hardy to Intrepid, text editing (while writing an
email) is dreadfully slow in KMail 1.0.1, to the point that it is hardly
usable, especially when inserting reply text in the middle of the
replied message. Text is typed at a speed of no much more than 1
character per second, eating 100% CPU. Insertion is dramatically slow,
text scrolling is dramatically slow, at least 20 times slower compared
to KMail in Hardy.

This is a definitive show stopper for using KMail to me, until this is
fixed.

On a global standpoint, KDE 4.1 is graphically nice, but should be
considered an incomplete BETA version for the rest. I don't feel it is
ready for prime time, too many things that work bad or simply do not.

[Bug 295536] Re: cups-pdf fails bad status reported and no pdf created

2008-11-24 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Confirming here also (Intrepid) . Using Intrepid, attempting to print to
PDF logged as a normal user in KDE causes « (/usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-
pdf) stopped with status 5! » and no PDF is generated.

However, using the CUPS web interface (http://localhost:631), logged
there as "root", trying to print the PDF printer test page works and
produces a printer test page PDF in /root/PDF.

[Bug 301757] [NEW] [Intrepid] Courier-maildrop broken for LDAP while worked in Hardy

2008-11-24 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Public bug reported:

After I upgraded from Hardy to Intrepid, courier-maildrop is broken :-((

Investigations show :
- the "vmail" user (often used with maildrop and virtual domains) is apparently 
no more a "trusted" user, breaking existing config (and this is hard-compiled) !

- maildrop doesn't know how to query LDAP anymore, boucing all mail with
"User unknown" (damned...)

Simply downgrading to Hardy's courier-maildrop 0.58.0.20080127-1ubuntu1
immediately solves the issue, which is then clear and makes no doubt.

[Bug 303064] [NEW] [Intrepid kernel 2.6.27] LVM snapshots causes I/O freeze and system lock / hang

2008-11-28 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image

Happens on : 2.6.27-7-generic, 2.6.27-9-generic (x86_64)

Severity : Major issue for running a server using LVM snapshots.

Regression : This issue temporarily existed in a much older kernel version 
(don't remember which, think it was a 2.6.1x) and was quickly fixed by the 
time. Now it's back :-(
This problem definitely didn't exist in Hardy with its 2.6.24 kernels.

Description : On a system with LVM snapshots active, intensive I/O  may
randomly (read: often) result in an I/O freeze on the snapshots origin
volumes, leading to a complete system lockup after a while. I/O to the
snapshots themselves is unaffected.

Probably some kernel race condition while writing to snapshots origin
and COWing to snapshots.

Typical situation : Active server with backups being performed from LVM
snapshots. The running backup goes on unaffected from the snapshots, but
after a while all other running processes on the system start freezing
in I/O wait mode when they request disk access (to the snapshots origin
volumes).

- Once backup is finished, trying to deactivate LVM snapshots freezes as
well.

- System cannot be cleanly rebooted or halted. As I/O is blocked this
results in a necessary brutal hard reboot.

[Bug 342923] Re: [i945] (Needs UXA) Kubuntu Jaunty Intel 945 GM - Poor sluggish graphics performance in Kate text, etc.

2009-04-30 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
@Bartek: « the MTRR fix is (AFAIK) to improve EXA performance ... and
you were clearly running UXA as per the log you posted. »

I don't have a clue about what EXA or UXA are, I'm no graphics drivers
expert ;-) I only know that UXA seemed disabled (per Xorg.log) before I
applied the suggestions from
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 that enabled it.

But I'm completely clueless about which should provide best performance.

As for MTRRs, the said Howto suggests to run fixmtrr.sh "each time X is
restarted" but it doesn't state if it should be run before or after
starting X, not what would be the best place to place a call for it. So
I haven't used it at all so far... Looks stupid ;-))

@Zack Evans: « are you now getting "(EE) intel(0): underrun on pipe A!"
messages in the log? »

No, I haven't seen any such message in X log (nor in .xsession-errors or
syslog, I was unsure where to look for it, but it isn't in any of these
logs or past logs).

> « if performance in your favourite game has dropped by half that's
more meaningful that GLXgears dropping by half. »

Well, I'm no big gamer and play no game at all nor use graphics-
intensive apps on this precise machine very often, so I have no
"measuring" tool besides glxgears.

I'm actually more concerned by having my KMail toolbar corrupt or tray
icons acting up, and I'd rather have a nice desktop with smooth
behaviour rather than doing any FPS competition.

I'm also used (it was already the case in Intrepid) to see KDE 4.2
frequently spit messages at me stating « Compositing was too slow and
has been disabled. If this was only temporary press [Alt]-[Shift]-[F12]
to re-enable it » or some message close to this one.

This most of the times occurs when reordering Firefox tabs with the
mouse where I would expect this to be no big deal graphically speaking.
It also may occur when the sytem is under heavy CPU load and I shift
desktops or open/close/move windows. But this is not really relevant to
Jaunty as it already did that in Intrepid.

[Bug 366775] Re: [Kubuntu Jaunty] : WPA2 not supported - Network plasmoid

2009-04-30 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 348275 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/348275

Installing linux-backports-modules-jaunty-generic apparently fixed WPA2
for me as described in Bug #348275

One may however wonder about the need for installing "backported"
modules less than a week after the Jaunty distribution was released...

KDE 4.2's NetworkManager plasmoïd is definitely buggy anyway :

- It only shows an option for "WPA", not "WPA2", event though after
installing backported modules this will allow connecting to a WPA2-only
AP.

- Even though the network password have been "saved" (using KDE Wallet), the 
plasmoïd will stubbornly ask to manually type the network password again in at 
least 2 situations:
a/ When manually changing from a wireless net to another (even though both 
networks have been duly registered with their respective passwords).
b/ When, at KDE startup, I'm prompted for the Kdewallet password for getting 
the network key. If I don't type it quickly enough (i.e. I was away from the 
machine while KDE was starting up), then the plasmoïd will request the network 
password by itself (and the 1st connection attempt will subsequently fail 
anyway)
c/ In the situation where the network plasmoïd asks several times for the 
password, it will duplicate each time the same network entry in its "connection 
list", so you end up with a "connection list" containing 10 times the same 
net...
d/ Sometimes displays the name of the currently connected network, sometimes 
not. When it does it shows (at least in french) : "xxxConnecté à « 
somenetworkname »" the "xxx" being actually displayed, ooks like a string 
placeholder that was forgotten there...

Well, the KDE Network plasmoïd is currently so buggy and it is so
obvious that I wonder if it's really worth describing it...

2009-04-30 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Thanks for this document Bartek, I'll take a close look at it.

Now for the fun :

- Upgrading Hardy => Intrepid severly impacted the graphics performance
of NVidia cards

- Upgrading Intrepid => Jaunty :
-- Breaks Intel cards driver
-- Completely removes the "fglrx" driver for ATI cards.

So... No NVidia... No Intel... No ATI... What brand of graphics card
would be advisable for use with Jaunty ?

It happens that all the desktops I use have NVidia, and all the laptops
I use have either NVidia, or ATI, or Intel...

2009-05-02 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Using the experimental PPA packages with UXA acceleration brought me
some observations after some hours of use, besides the occasional screen
"flashes" I had already reported (I use a "blank scren" screensaver that
fires up after 5 minutes):

1/ Once the screensaver blanks the screen, it will sometimes be
impossible to resume work. The screen is blank (black) and will remain
so. The machine is not hanged as it is still possible to shift to texte
console. But X is dead: Even killing X or restarting KDM won't result in
anything else than a blank screen until the machine is rebooted.

2/ Suspend to RAM : About half of the times, the KDE session is dead at
resume. The machine resumes on KDM login screen.

3/ Logging out the KDE session: Sometimes results in a blank (black)
screen where the system doesn't react anymore. Nothing can be done
locally except using the kernel's "Magic SysRq" keys. Machine will still
be remotely usable using SSH - well, for rebooting it...

So it looks that indeed the cure made things worse :-(

I've installed some new MesaGL updates from PPA this morning, but if it
doesn't bring an improvement I'll try reverting back to old Intrepid
drivers (wonder if I won't simply restore my system from my last
Intrepid backups and trash all that Jaunty Junk :-(

For everything was perfectly stable and working in Intrepid...

2009-05-02 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
I've just tried using EXA accel instead of UXA with the latest PPA
drivers :

- glxgears reports 550-590 FPS with EXA where it would report about 230
FPS with UXA.

- ppracer is smooth and fun with 25-30 FPS with EXA where it would be 3
to 5 FPS with UXA.

- I haven't yet had time to investigate if it has other impacts on
system stability or graphics artifacts, but at least the perf gain is
huge. Not seen any "screen flash" so far.

- I've noticed a weird scratching and "FFFRT !" noise in system
speakers during KDE session start, which I had never noticed before,
afterwards sound seems to work normally.

- My xorg.conf says :

I'm puzzled !

WPA2 support in Jaunty with KDE network plasmoïd "suddenly started

- An Acer Aspire 3104WLMi using the ath5k module
- A Dell XPS M1330 using the iwl3945 module

I have not installed the backport modules on any of these 2 machines...

They now happen to have WPA2-AES working... (AP is a Linksys WRT54G

Looks like my latest reported configuration works good :
- PPA drivers
- EXA config as described above

Getting good performance, haven't seen any graphics artifacts or
corruption, apparently survives system suspend/resume with no problem
(but only tested 3-4 times).

The exact same config (but without having installed fixmtrr.sh) also seems to 
work good on a Dell XPS M1330 (Intel GM965) and gives a 20-30 FPS rate in 
ppracer on this machine.
On the Dell XPS M1330, using original xorg config (after Jaunty update) would 
produce horrible graphics artifacts in ppracer. Once PPA drivers are installed 
and xorg.conf is modified, artifacts are gone and graphics looks good, 
performance acceptable.

Having it working properly for a few hours was probably still too much
:-(

A couple hours ago got released to the mirrors "xserver-xorg-video-
intel_2%3a2.7.99.1+git20090502.cfb98f3d-0ubuntu0sarvatt2_i386.deb" and
this one definitely breaks EXA : xorg does UXA even though EXA is
specifically requested in xorg.conf :-(

So even though I specify EXA, now I get UXA back with all its bugs and
crappy performance :-(

OK, I have reverted back to "xserver-xorg-video-
intel_2%3a2.7.99.1+git20090427.e55d9431-0ubuntu0sarvatt_i386.deb" and
EXA is repaired.

So am I. I'm not sure if any project "head" at Ubuntu/Canonical is aware
of the seriousness of such issues and the point to which it can piss off
both old Linux sysadmins and I.T. professionals and Linux newcomers.

Myself I spent enough time in the past convincing non-I.T. friends and
relatives and friends of friends to "make the big jump" from M$ to
Ubuntu, advocating how easy, mature and polished it was. Well... Just
spent half of the week-end on the phone and email trying to fix my
friend's machines and explain them why their graphics were now crashing,
their screen getting black, their video playback sluggish, their games
unusable... And that it may get better someday, or not, who knows...

I consider that the recent series of regressions in Ubuntu are quite
close to distribution sabotage and I would almost wonder "who gets paid
by Krimo$oft for doing this ?"

Who among the distro validators is irresponsible enough to validate for
"distribution release" the breaking of Intel graphics drivers, the
absence (incompatibility) of ATI fglrx drivers, and so forth ? A desktop
machine without decent and working graphics drivers is unusable, period.

Yes I'm ranting again and I know that some readers of this rant will be
extremely displeased, but I think it's time for a loud "Wake up guys!
Who do you think are Ubuntu users ? What hardware do you believe they
use ? What do you think they expect from a dist-upgrade ? Do you believe
every Ubuntu users out there has both the competency and time for
digging into forums and bug reports, tweak config files with vi in text
mode, install experimental packages that may work then may break, just
to fix things that used to work and are expected to continue working
after upgrading to a supposedly stable distro release ?"

IMHO, these Xorg drivers problems make the whole Jaunty relase good for
the trash can (and kill the work and effort of all the developpers of
other parts of the distribution).

...and I still see "Importance : Undecided" on top of this bug report...

Valentin Neacsu: You should first check if this I/O wait is not caused
by hard disk access :

- Make sure the system is not swapping much too much to disk (not enough memory)
- Check your hard disk health: Look for HD error messages in syslog, check disk 
health with smartmontools...

Gnurou's right : this doesn't look at all like a graphics driver issue,
much more like an HD access issue.

[Bug 334191] [NEW] KDE 4 branch SSL certificates support completely broken

2009-02-24 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Public bug reported:

KDE SSL certificates support in all the KDE 4, 4.1, 4.2 series is
completely broken. KDE bug : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162485

This impacts (makes impossible) all use of SSL certificates in KDE,
including KMail.

This is a real show-stopper to me and I can't believe that such a
regression exists between KDE 3.x and 4.x and that nothing was done
about this since this bug was initially reported in May 2008 to the KDE
bugtracker.

[Bug 366775] [NEW] [Kubuntu Jaunty] : WPA2 not supported - Network plasmoid

2009-04-25 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Public bug reported:

Hi,

I've seen several bug reports about WPA2 not working in Jaunty, most
turning into considerations about this or that specific wireless card
driver considered as the possible issue.

Well, I've upgraded 4 laptops using different Wi-Fi cards (with ath5k,
ath9k, ath_pci or iwl3945 driver modules) from Intrepid to Jaunty.

ALL of these laptops were supporting WPA2 properly in Intrepid and
Hardy. None of these supports WPA2 anymore in Jaunty.

The KDE network plasmoïd "encryption" drop-down box doesn't even display
a "WPA2" option on any of the machines.

However, all of these laptops support WPA (AES-CCMP) in Jaunty.

This boils down to : Kubuntu Jaunty doesn't support WPA2, considerations
about a particular driver are irrelevant.

Either because of a network manager regression (that would affect Ubuntu
as well, then), or because the KDE network plasmoïd doesn't handle WPA2
(and then it wouldn't affect users of the Ubuntu desktop).

- Almost all mixer controls have disappeared from Alsa mixer, except for
"PCM" and "LineOut", but they don't allow producing any sound.

- No more "Master" "Front", etc, controls.


(Addl Information : I also have a Dell XPS M1330 With Intel ICH8. On this one

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 348275 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/348275

Bug #348275 goes in many directions, focusing on some specific WL NIC
drivers, or stating "can't connect to anything but open networks", or
discussing the issue of having simultaneously 2 frontends to Network
Manager... which is not my case.

I opened a separate bug report because what I noticed is simpler both to
understand and describe :

- On 4 different laptops that I have upgraded from Kubuntu Intrepid to
Jaunty (final, not a beta or RC) :

- All having different WL NICs and drivers. All managing properly WPA2
with Knetworkmanager in Intrepid.

- All of them using the KDE plasma Network Manager controller in Jaunty,
all of them with Knetworkmanager removed.

- None of them supports WPA2 anymore using Plasma NM widget. All of them
still support WPA.

- Plasma NM widget doesn't even show a "WPA2" choice in the encryption
choice box. So I suspect the issue to be either there or in Jaunty's
NetworkManager itself. I don't believe this to be an issue with any
specific WL NIC driver issue.

That's why I opened a separate bug report. I found the previous one was
going in too many different directions and it's thread of comments was a
really complex mess, where the description of the problem I saw on 4
different machines is rather simple and perfectly reproductible...

[Bug 369062] [NEW] [Jaunty] Kernel compiled without USB_PERSIST

2009-04-28 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic

After upgrading from Intrepid to Jaunty, USB storage devices show as
"just plugged" each time the system is suspended then waken up.

I suspect Jaunty's 2.6.28-11 Ubuntu kernel has been compiled without the
"USB_PERSIST" option. This is very annoying for some machines I planned
to upgrade. Why this change ?

2009-04-28 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Confirming this bug on Asus EeePC 1002HA, "Intel Corporation Mobile
945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller".

Upgrading from Kubuntu Intrepid + KDE 4.2 (PPA) to Jaunty severely broke
KDE graphics.

First things I noticed were serious issues with graphics elements
redrawing, i.e. KMail toolbar disappearing and showing desktop
background instead until mouse is hovered on this zone, causing graphics
elements to reappear.

Well, it was perfect in Intrepid + KDE 4.2, broke in Jaunty.

If I wear my "dummy user hat" this is unacceptable, and I'm considering
ranting loud about general Ubuntu regressions at each and every new
version.

I've been a Linux user and supporter since 10+ years and sometimes a
little code contributor in the past. I'm now professionally managing
parks of Linux machines as well as advising non-I.T. friends and
relatives.

>From both points of view it is completely unacceptable that when
performing a version upgrade, oh, graphics get broke on this machine,
sound is lost on that machine, fglrx driver doesn't exist anymore for
ATI cards, KDE SSL certs support has been broke for the whole KDE 4.x
branch and not fixed even if bugs reports have been made 10 months ago,
kernel is now compiled without USB_persist, WPA2 isn't supported anymore
in Jaunty, Xen Dom0 kernel is missing since Intrepid and on...

What the fsck is going on ?

A geek can live with that and spend 1 day trying to figure out ONE problem, dig 
into a config file, read forums, recompile kernel on ONE machine when 
upgrading, but how could a professional managing a park of machine stand to 
live with that at each upgrade ?
How could a professional tolerate that SSL certs support suddently disappears 
between KDE 3.x and 4.x and nothing is done in 10 months to fix it ?
And how could non-I.T. more or less clueless beginner users (at whom Ubuntu 
also aims) find acceptable losing sound or graphics and having no clue when 
they upgrade ?

I don't know what Ubuntu's doing but I'm starting to get really really
angry at it generally speaking... I had to state it somewhere, now it's
done in that bug report :-(

Except for unforeseen and unpredictable bugs, a version upgrade should
never break anything that used to work, or something is seriously broke
with the project management, period.

2009-04-29 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
No matter how good the reason and explanations can be...

It's very good that the developpers of a given driver or package improve
it, and it may result in occasional regressions and trouble.

But we're not talking about a driver's development but about a _major
distribution_ and it's the responsibility of the packagers of a major
distribution such as Ubuntu not to incorporate immature technologies
resulting in end-user large and previsible regressions until the new
version of this or that is mature.

Maybe keep the bleeding-edge incomplete packages to experimental
repositories, clearly labeled as such so it's a choice and nobody's
surprised.

When you professionally manage a park of heterogeneous machines and have
to upgrade tens of them, you simply can't afford to lose one day of work
solving (or not !) one or two different new problems or regressions for
each and every machine you upgrade.

And for the not-so-knowledgeable end-user who was happy with the
previous release on his machine and is still discovering Linux,
releasing a new distro version where the upgrade will previsibly break
what used to work is simply a no-go.

That really makes me worry about the directions Ubuntu takes : since
Gutsy I have a several pages list of serious regressions and upgrade
issues that surely affect a large proportion of the users base...

I could in the end get some sound out by:

- Enabling a so-called "iSpeaker" switch
- Pushing up "Line-out" control

However on this machine my mixer only shows the following controls :

- PCM (Volume slider)
- LineOut (Volume slider + mute switch)
- iSpeaker (mute switch only)
- Capture (Volume slider + active switch)

It seems I can get sound only if everything is unmuted, and the actual
output volume is the sum of LineOut + PCM.

No more "Master volume" control, no more "Front" volume control, and the
"LineOut" that acts on volume where I woulnd't have expected it to.

Okay I can produce sound, but the controls are both very poor and
surprising...

[Bug 295861] [NEW] Upgrade Manager crashes during upgrade from Kubuntu Hardy to Intrepid

2008-11-08 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: update-manager

Same problem met on 3 different machines :

During upgrade from Kubuntu Hardy to Intrepid, upgrade manager silently
crashes (its window disappears, "ps" shows it doesn't run anymore) and
the machine is left is a severely incoherent, half-upgraded, unbootable
state.

Only solution if the finish the upgrade manually using a combination of
successive "dpkg --configure -a", "aptitude upgrade" and "aptitude
install", which shows that exists a serious dependancy problem involving
Amarok.

On 4 machines I upgraded from Hardy to Intrepid, 3 failed this way, only
one went thru smoothly and the one that went thru smoothly had both

[Bug 295859] [NEW] Upgrade Manager crashes during upgrade from Kubuntu Hardy to Intrepid

2008-11-08 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: update-manager

Same problem met on 3 different machines :

During upgrade from Kubuntu Hardy to Intrepid, upgrade manager silently
crashes (its window disappears, "ps" shows it doesn't run anymore) and
the machine is left is a severely incoherent, half-upgraded, unbootable
state.

Only solution if the finish the upgrade manually using a combination of
successive "dpkg --configure -a", "aptitude upgrade" and "aptitude
install", which shows that exists a serious dependancy problem involving
Amarok.

On 4 machines I upgraded from Hardy to Intrepid, 3 failed this way, only
one went thru smoothly and the one that went thru smoothly had both
Kubuntu and Ubuntu desktops installed. The 3 ones having only Kubuntu
desktop crashed in the described manner.

(Actually the one that went thru OK was the dirtiest machine I had, that
had been thru severeal dist-upgrades over the years, the 3 that crashed
had a "clean" Kubuntu Hardy install before the upgrade...)

Yes, on the only machine where I saw the upgrade finish properly without
crashing, it ends in "cleaning up" and uninstalling a lot of "obsolete"
packages. I would love to know how to start this step after having
finished manually an upgrade that badly failed - especially because I
have a netbook on which SSD disk space is a real issue, so I wouldn't
want to kep useless obsolete packages lying around...

[Bug 246496] [NEW] [Hardy] Several artsd competing for 100% CPU

2008-07-07 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: arts

This happens on an Acer Aspire 3104 WLMi after upgrading from Gutsy to
Hardy (problem didn't exist in Gutsy) and has persisted thru all Hardy
updates so far.

At KDE session startup, not always but very often, and especially when
restoring at the same time a number of windows that would each produce a
little sound when opening, the system shows dreadfully slow and produces
no sound. It remains in this state of "dreadful slowness" indefinitely.

"top" then shows that several artsd processes (typically 2 or 3) are
running and competing for eating 100% CPU.

Issuing "killall -KILL artsd" (-TERM doesn't help) kills all mad artsd
processes and :

- The system suddenly issues a cascade of sounds that seems to have been 
waiting, queued or whatever.
- After that a single artsd process is running, behaving OK and sound works.

Loaded sound modules are :

[Bug 217846] Re: Slow suspend/resume in Hardy

2008-07-09 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Here the /etc/network/interfaces is not involved in slow resume after
suspend to RAM, so the proposed workaround doesn't help.

When resuming my Acer Aspire 3104 WLMi, my hard disk always works like
crazy for at least 1 minute before I at least get the screen backlight
to light again, and still more before I eventually get the screensaver
unlock prompt. After resumed I notice the swap is highly used (at least
400 MB) even if it was almost empty when I suspended.

The machine has 1 GB RAM and 2 GB swap, and I have no clue about why it
happens only with this laptop : I have several Kubuntu Hardy laptops,
and only this one shows such a resume behaviour, the fastest one being a
Dell XPS M1330 on which resuming is really completely intantaneous.

[Bug 247180] [NEW] [Hardy] Kubuntu live CD installer can't install on unformatted LVM volumes

2008-07-10 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Public bug reported:

Hi,

I usuall install Kubuntu over LVM (possibly encrypted) using the live
CD, because I find creating the LVM manually (would be nice if the live
CD could include the lvm2 and cryptsetup packages, they're rather small
and it would save me to "aptitude install" them each time and have to
chroot to finish the install on the destination HD to add lvm2 again...)
then performing a "live CD install" is faster and easier rather than
using the "alternate CD", so I first manually create the LVM and volumes
and then install on it doing a normal "live CD install".

I've found out that the Kubuntu live CD installer manual partitioning
tool cannot install on LVM volumes (it doesn't properly recognize them)
if they haven't been previously mke2fs'ed or mkswap'ped, but it's OK if
they have been.

Would be nice if the partitioning tool could recognized LVM volumes even
if not populated with a filesystem (as it will mkfs them later on
anyway)...

2008-05-17 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Public bug reported:

Sorry, this one may be a duplicate, I thought I had reported it before
but I can't find the bug report ;-)

I now have upgraded a number of Kubuntu machines from Gutsy to Hardy,
and it's the 4th time I happen to fall on the same issue :

After upgrade, the new initramfs has been generated, grub's menu.lst has
been updated with the new kernel, but the new "initrd" entry is missing
from grub's menu.lst, giving a machine that won't boot the new kernel
(unless the missing initrd line is manually added at boot time).

Issue confirmed here :

- Hardy, NVidia board, latest hardy-included NVidia drivers : Konsole text gets 
corrupt / scrambled when Compiz active and cube rotated.
- Also some other text shows this corruption, i.e. text in Kontact status bar
- « Option "UseCompositeWrapper" "true" » in xorg.conf seems to fix the issue.
- However Virtualbox (1.6.0-30421_Ubuntu_hardy, Sun package) seems to accept 
this fix without crashing, contrary to report above. Rotating the cube properly 
rotates the VirtualBox display window as well.

[Bug 222714] Re: konsole gets corrupted when compiz switches viewports

2008-05-18 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
It's an XP inside the VirtualBox, and I believe my VBox config has
nothing special regarding the video. Just the "Virtualbox additions"
installed, that's all.

Anyway, I have just quit using Compiz on this machine because I observed
several system locks (not real locks, I can SSH into it from another
machine, but it is locally unusable) with screensavers and Compiz.
Compiz goes 100% CPU usage and the keyboard becomes dead after some time
in screensaver mode. I believe Compiz has hard times managing perpetual
changes in the root window, that would probably need another bug report
which I'm too lazy to file... That's the very reason why I had quit
using Beryl a year ago after only a few days using it : The machine
often became unusable after having spent some time in screensaver mode.
Compiz does the same now and I have no time to try to find a fix. As
soon as something makes my machine unusable, I'm afraid I have to quit
using it immediately...

[Bug 88377] Re: Suspend to disk fails: image_size too small

2008-05-27 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
I'm currently working with 3 laptops and  here's a short report :

- Asus EeePC, 512 MB RAM, 700 MB swap, EeeXUbuntu 3 (equiv. Gutsy with a
2.6.24 kernel) : Suspend to disk works out of the box.

- Dell XPS M1330, 2 GB RAM, 4 GB swap, Ubuntu Hardy latest
2.6.24-17-generic kernel: Suspend to disk works out of the box.

- Acer Aspire 3104WLMi, 1 GB RAM, 2 GB swap, Ubuntu Hardy latest
2.6.24-17-generic kernel: Suspend to disk fails with "swsusp: Not enough
free memory"

=> On this machine, the proposed workaround: "echo 2048248 >
/sys/power/image_size" immediately solved the issue and allowed suspend
to disk to work (thanks).

Any idea about how to figure out the optimal value for this machine ?

(As an addition, on all these 3 machines, suspend to disk works with
swap on an encrypted LVM)

[Bug 217841] Re: Hardy recent update broke suspend to ram on Thinkpad T61p

2008-06-12 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Confirmed here (alas) with an Acer Aspire 3104WLMi running Hardy (fglrx
drivers, madwifi drivers). Initially resuming from suspend to RAM was
quite fast, but after recent Ubuntu updates now "suspending" looks
normally fast (except once, trying to suspend ended in "kernel panic")
but resuming takes *minutes* with the hard disk working like crazy.
During this time the screen is black and backlight off, keyboard not
responding. Meanwhile the machine however pings (thru Wi-Fi) and can be
accessed from remote using SSH...

No change in hardware or whatever between the times when it was fast and
now that it has become dreadfully slow.

Once resumed I notice more than 780 MB of swap used when there was
little swap used before suspending.

In the current situation it takes more time to resume from suspend than
to restart from hibernate or event to cold boot... Which makes
suspending to RAM completely useless...

Hmmm... Actually I tried to ping and SSH to the laptop after I got tired of

time the machine was actually properly anwering ping and SSH thru Wi-Fi, but it 
had already been "trying to wake up" for at least a cigarette and a cup of

When I went back to the laptop it still took a couple dozens of seconds before

2008-06-13 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
On the other hand, my Dell XPS M1330 laptop (madwifi, Intel video) wakes
up after "suspend to RAM" in approx 3 seconds...

Both machines run Hardy with all updates applied and on both machines
(Acer Aspire and Dell XPS) I initiated "suspend" just by closing the
laptop screen with KDE "power manager" set to "suspend when lid closed".

And although the wake up time of the Dell XPS looks surprisingly short
(especially compared to the Acer...) I can confirm it was actually
suspended (Ethernet LED went off, screen backlight went off, power LED
started blinking) and actually woke up (panel LEDs flashed, DVD writer
issued a noise, Ethernet LED went back, screeen lit).

So different machines can really show a very different behaviour in
Hardy, but before some updates were applied, my Acer was behaving more
or less like the Dell, only a little slower :-(

[Bug 346439] [NEW] Power button shuts down brutally when KDE 4.2 running

2009-03-21 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: acpid

When KDE 4.2 is running, pressing Power Button causes brutal system
shutdown because /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh doesn't properly recognize KDE
4.2, so it won't result in displaying a KDE shutdown box, but will start
a system shutdown sequence.

/etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh should just do nothing when KDE 4.2 is running,
for KDE's PowerDevil is able to recognize this event and have a
corresponding programmable action.

Proposed fix : Just add the following line close to the beginning of
/etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh :

pidof plasma > /dev/null && exit 0

[Bug 280762] Re: knetworkmanager under kde4 doesn't recognize the static IP connections that I have configured.

2009-04-06 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Confirming in Intrepid + KDE 4.2 from PPA, knetworkmanager Version:
1:0.7svn864988-0ubuntu1.8.10.3.

When trying to set a fixed IP for an interface with KNetworkmanager, the
connection will fail with a syslog message such as :

« NetworkManager:   connection_get_settings_cb(): 
connection_get_settings_cb: Invalid connection: 'NMSettingIP4Config' / 
'addresses' invalid: 1
NetworkManager:   wait_for_connection_expired(): Connection (2) 
/org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings/Connection/7 failed to activate 
(timeout): (0) Connection was not provided by any settings service »

Tracing this it seems to relate with the following line that
KNetworkManager generates in knetworkmanagerrc for the fixed IP address
:

Value_addresses=\n \n  2164435136\n
16777215\n
4261587136\n\n\n

We can see here that the "list" tags open/close are doubled. If closing
KNetworkmanager and editing knetworkmanagerrc by hand, then removing the
doubled tags, and restarting KNetworkManager afterwards, the connection
will establish again with no errors - but in DHCP, it will ignore the
fixed address specification.

IMHO looks like KNetworkManager just puts wrotten values in its XML
config file and is unable to parse them properly afterwards, and sends
bullshit to networkmanager. A bug with no doubt.

2007-10-24 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Since I submitted this bug report 11 days ago and it didn't get no
attention so far, I found in Gutsy's release notes this bug :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-

There's a good probability that this bug report is then a duplicate,
even though I don't see the prblem appearing only for "suspend to RAM"
but as well for "hibernate to disk".

Having a laptop that won't suspend nor hibernate since its distro was
"upgraded" is something I feel like a painful downgrade...

[Bug 157154] clamav-daemon eats 100% CPU forever on feisty server

2007-10-25 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: clamav-daemon

On my server, Feisty, all updates applied, clamav-daemon
(0.90.2-0ubuntu1.4) frequently goes "mad" eating 100% CPU for several
minutes or more for no visible reason. clamd consumed cpu time is over
150 hours after 20 days server uptime...

This issue will force me to quit using the clamav daemon on this
production server and revert to the standalone-called clamscan binary,
provided it behaves better...

(I've used clamav-daemon for years on non-Ubuntu distros and never saw
such evil behaviour...)

Furthermore, clamav-freshclam logs keeps complaining that the mirrors
refuse to send signatures updates for an "outdated version", which
happens when the clamav version is really... outdated.

I tick this as a "security vulnerability", as this looks like preventing
an anti-virus from getting new virus signatures...

[Bug 158036] Dependancy issue : Encrypted filesystems fail miserably at boot

2007-10-28 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 139635 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139635

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: cryptsetup

cryptsetup is called by initscripts for mounting (non-root) encrypted
filesystems.

cryptsetup has dependancies upon libraries located in /usr/lib
(libgcrypt11 (>= 1.2.2), libgpg-error0 (>= 1.4)...) but is called by
initscripts BEFORE /usr is mounted.

Get the picture for machines where /usr resides in a separate partition
from the root filesystem ! It miserably fails, hanging system boot.

Libraries upon which cryptsetup depends definitely must be moved from
/usr/lib to /lib . Corresponding packages have to be fixed for this.

And by the way, the links "solution" is definitely not one. In my case,
/usr resides in a separate partition from the rootfs, so having
cryptsetup depending upon anything which is under /usr is a *bad idea*
because cryptsetup is called before /usr is mounted...

Futhermore, it's not just an encrypted swap issue, but an issure for any
encrypted filesystem. It hits my /tmp and crashes my system boot :-(

Libraries on which cryptsetup depends should go into /lib and not
/usr/lib, period.

Sorry Scott. I guess that seing my server mostly broken on a sundy after
a distro upgrade which I expected to go smoothly a bit upset me ;-)

Regarding Apache, a config update of /etc/apache2/ports.conf duplicated
the "Listen *:443" that cas already in sites-available/ssl, causing
Apache to die at startup if SSL was enabled...

Regarding Postfix, Postfix was not broke... DSPAM was, after the
upgrade.

...and the "TLS_PROTOCOL=SSL23" fixed my Courier-IMAP-SSL

Things are going better not, but the upgrade was rather destructive (I
upgraded 4 Ubuntu desktops prior to attempting to do it on the server, I
wasn't expecting so many little breakages...)

I could temporarily work around this by manually copying

symlinks, but this is not a satisfactory solution.

I'm dissatisfied seeing that this bug importance is yet set to "medium"
as this can prevent a system from booting ; I feel that solving this
should be high priority so it doesn't hit too many people in the face
(those who haven't upgraded Feisty => Gutsy yet but may soon do...).
IMHO, this bug is critical.

Hi,

My laptop (Acer Aspire 3104 WLMi) was hibernating to disk, and waking
up, perfectly good with 7.04 Feisty Fawn - so well that I was actually
surprised - but, since I upgraded to Gutsy 7.10 beta, it doesn't work

- When trying to hibernate laptop, I immediately get a black screen with a 
blinking cursor at the top-left corner, and nothing else happens ;
- At this point, the system doesn't seem to be hanged : I can switch between 
text consoles using [Alt]-[Fn]
- If I switch to the X11 console ([Alt]-[F7]), then I get a completely black 
screen, and from there on the system is completely hanged : Keyboard doesn't 
respond anymore, "caps/num lock" leds don't react, no disk activity, 
"MagicSysRq" keys not answering, no way to get out of there but killing power.

[Bug 152256] Kunbuntu 7.10 Beta ubiquity installer freezes at 87%

2007-10-13 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubiquity

This bug is on purpose a duplicate of Bug #145743 which was reported by
another used on September 27, and to which I added confirmation and
comments on October 6, but which didn't receive any further feedback or
answer yet, so I would like to make it more visible at it looks release-
critical to me. Sorry for the duplicate...

Tried to install Kubuntu 7.10 Beta from CD 4 times on 2 rather standard
machines (one laptop, one desktop, different architectures, different
network connections, on a different day ;-)

* The laptop completely from scratch (manually partitioning all disk, no other 
OS left)
* The desktop having a Winsomething on it, manually partitioned keeping Windows.

* Installing in French, standard installation. Everytime the install
froze completely at exactly 87%, last thing that got displayed was
"Downloading languages packs" which actually seemed to download files,
but then the installation sat there with ubiquity eating 100% CPU for
hours (I let it sit there a complete night to check if something might
happen in the end, but it didn't...) with no message at all, no way to
go beyond this except killing install, so I had to revert back to
installing 7.04 feisty on those 2 machines.

* I had controlled that the network connections for these 2 machines
were actually up and properly running.

This looks like a show-stopper to me, 5 days before the planned release
date. Wouldn't be nice releasing a version that won't install on
machines that aren't specially new or whatever...

2007-10-15 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
I will add to this one that I tested this several times and it
"consistently crashes".

When I ask to hibernate and get a black screen with a blinking cursor,
after a while of "nothing happening" I cant shift between text-mode
terminals, but can't login : getty is probably already dead. Can't do
anything but shift between consoles, event the "Magic SysRq" keys don't
work anymore. If shifting to [Alt-F7], X display, I get a completely
black screen (no cursor anymore) and from then on everything's dead,
can't do anything but kill power.

Latest "RC" updates didn't bring any improvement on this.

Confirmed. Same here (tried twice).

- Fresh install from scratch, no other OS on machine
- Installing in French (Paris, French keyboard)

- Installation goes smoothly up to 87%, configures network, finds
mirror, displays "downloading languages packs", some file seems to be

[Bug 224732] [Solved] After upgrade Gutsy => Hardy, exiting X session hangs machine (fglrx)

2008-05-02 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
This problem was solved by patching /etc/ati/authatieventsd.sh (package
xorg-driver-fglrx) as described here :
http://tsdgeos.blogspot.com/2008/04/fglrx-blocking-xorg-on-logout.html

« Patch /etc/ati/authatieventsd.sh being unproperly configured, you need
to change

XDM_AUTH_MASK=/var/lib/xdm/authdir/authfiles/A$1*
to:
XDM_AUTH_MASK=/var/run/xauth/A$1*
»

Thanks to Olivier for the solution.

This now needs to be fixed in the xorg-driver-fglrx package.

[Bug 226096] [NEW] Hardy: Kernel 2.6.24-16-generic hangs on machine

2008-05-03 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic

Hi there,

On a desktop machine that was running Gutsy's kernel 2.6.22-14-generic
with no problem, and upgrade to Hardy shows that the new
2.6.24-16-generic kernel is absolutely unbootable on the machine.

Whatever boot option taken (including tries of "acpi=off", "noapic",
"nolapic", etc...) the kernel crashes at boot, ending with  : « BUG :
soft lockup-CPU#0 stuck for 11 s ! »

This situation is "100% stable and reproductible".

(Reported by user, I'm 650 kms away from this machine...)

Hardy can be used with old Gutsy's 2.6.22-14 kernel, which raises other
issues (corresponding headers got uninstalled by upgrade, old 2.6.22-14
kernel headers package now unavailable in Hardy so can't reinstall it,
new NVidia drivers package won't run with old kernel, all this forcing
to basically manually an "old kernel headers tree" then compile NVIdia
drivers from NVidia site).

It's a pain in the *** that not only the new kernel doesn't work but the
upgrade process removes old kernel headers and that newly installed
driver packages would only run with the new kernel :-(

Anyway this issue of 2.6.24-16 not running one some hardware where
previous kernels would looks like a show-stopper to me.

2008-05-03 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Sh*t ! I just get the same problem after upgrading yet another AMD
processor Gusty machine to Hardy :-(

So that makes 2 updated machines for me that don't boot and hang with «
soft lockup-CPU#0 » after upgrade.

I upgraded 5 machines, 2 of them won't boot. Really makes a bad
percentage :-(

This one boots, mounts rootfs, then during startup of services hangs
with : « BUG : soft lockup-CPU#0 stuck for 11 s ! [ntdriver:3632] » and
this repeats forever...

This gives a little more insight : There's a problem with this
"ntdriver"  but so far I have no clue about what it does... Hopefully
it's some NTFS related stuff (I say hopefully because I don't have no
windows nor any NTFS on the machine, so I could possibly get rid of it
?)

[Bug 226096] Re: Hardy: Kernel 2.6.24-16-generic hangs on machine

2008-05-03 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Okay, I think I found the cause of the problem, this [ntdriver:3632]
part of the error message that the remote user didn't tell me helped me
isolate the problem :

Both machines that hanged after upgrade have a Thomson WLG-1500A USB Wi-
Fi adapter, which is driven via ndiswrapper and the "sis163u" windows
driver.

Unpluging this adapter allowed the machine to boot the new kernel
without crashing.

Now the issue seems to relate between this precise driver and
ndiswrapper/kernel, for I have upgraded a laptop that also uses
ndiswrapper for Wi-Fi (but with a different Wi-Fi susbsystem) and this
one showed no problem.

It's quite annoying that the use of the Thomson WLG-1500A USB Wi-Fi
adapter + ndiswrapper causes such a major system lock-up after updrade,
because this precise adapter has been given out by the major ISP in
France (France Telecom / Orange / Wanadoo) to a huge number of
customers, with its "livebox" DSL solution... So for sure you are gonna
get tons of bugs reports related to the same adapter...

Now I'm stuck with the issue : How to get this thing to work in Hardy ?

[Bug 132905] Kubuntu install partitioning tool problem

2007-08-16 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: base-installer

Trying to install Kubuntu (from live Desktop CD) on a system with a
rather complex partitioning scheme and a large number of "partitions"
(system using EVMS + LVM2 with already existing partitions and LVM
setup), the "Manual" choice in the partitioning tool displays a large
box full of solid blue and red rectangles (without any text) which I
guess represents system partitions.

The matter is that this partitions (?) window, in my case, is much
taller than my physical display, and has no scrollbars, so there's no
way I can see what's at the bottom of the window (buttons maybe ?), nor
can I move it up (the window "move" refuses to move the widow title bar
higher than the physical screen), and I'm stuck there where I can't
perform any action - but close the window and installer.

So I went to an Ubuntu CD and tried the same, and there it works because
the Ubuntu live Desktop CD installer, when choosing "manual partitions
setup", gives a window where the partitions are listed as text, and can
be scrolled (using window scrollbar) for proper selection and
configuration.

So this problem is specific to the Kubuntu 7.04 "live" installer in
"manual partitioning" mode, but it's allright in "Ubuntu".

So I had to first install Ubuntu this way, then install Kubuntu packages
once Ubuntu was up and running. That's annoying :-}

[Bug 162582] Gutsy: cryptsetup leaves /dev/mapper/temporary-cryptsetup-[0-9]+ devices lying around

2007-11-14 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: cryptsetup

In some situations (I could not yet clearly determine in which exact
conditions this happens), after running cryptsetup, a device /dev/mapper
/temporary-cryptsetup-[0-9]+ (pidnum ?) is left lying around.

Looks like the same as reported in Debian bug #444914

Not sure what this device actually corresponds to or if it might allow
unauthorized access to encrypted content, so I check this as a potential
security vulnerability.

[Bug 185955] [NEW] [Gutsy] : SD card readers fail, all kinds.

2008-01-25 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Public bug reported:

Hi,

I've seen several bug reports about problems with SD cards readers of
different kinds, but I'd like to report here that I have encountered
trouble with *all* SD cards readers that I've tried to use with Ubuntu
Gutsy, on 3 machines :

1/ A desktop system with an externally attached brandless USB 2.0 hub /
Multiformat memory card reader (cards are seen as /dev/sd* devices)

2/ An Acer Aspire 3104 WLMi laptop with an integrated ENE SD/MMC card
reader (that wasn't seen at all in feisty, and that "appeared" after
upgrading to Gutsy) (cards are seen as /dev/mmcblk*)

3/ An Asus EeePC laptop with an integrated SD/MMC card reader that is
seen as an UBS 2.0 device and shows its cards as /dev/sdb.

On all these systems :

- SD cards, all types, are recognized at insertion and their contents
can be shown, whatever size or speed the card is.

- On all kind of cards, reading and writing *small* amounts of data (up
to a few dozens megabytes) at a time, works.

- On all "big" cards ( > 1GB ), reading and copying large amounts of
data at a time causes I/O errors and ends in freezing the programs that
are accessing the cards.

- The ENE card reader (seen as /dev/mmcblk0p*...) cause various I/O
error messages to be spit in syslog. (can't be more precise, I don't
have the machine at hand right now)

- The USB 2.0 card readers, either internal or external, usually cause
some repetitive USB errors to be logged, such as "reset high speed USB
device using ehci_hcd and address blah"

- It seems that the bigger and slower card, the sooner the problem
happens, and the smaller and faster card, the later it happens (or not
at all).

- I have seen this on more than 6 different cards (different sizes,
brands and speeds) and tested all concerned SD cards in other devices
(GPS device, digital camera) and also on 2 different Winthing laptops
with integrated SD card readers, and the SD cards behave well on all
these machines.

So it's obvious to me that trying to use SD cards with Ubuntu Gutsy
leads to failures, whatever the SD card reader equipment is, and
whatever card is used (but the smaller and faster the better).

[Bug 177024] Re: I can't mount my stick datatraveler reader 2gb of kingston

2008-01-26 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
PS: The Asus EeePC comes with a preloaded Asus-customized version of
Xandros Linux. I have erased it so quick that I even didn't try the SD
card reader, but other folks I know running the "original Xandros Linux"
that comes with this machine reports their SD card reader works like a
charm.

This Asus EeePC thing is a very successful machine with always the same
"standard" hardware. Many are replacing the original Xandros with the
excellent eeXUbuntu http://wiki.eeeuser.com/ubuntu:eeexubuntu:home .
It's thus highly probable that problem reports with the SD-card reader
will multiply...

[Bug 177024] Re: I can't mount my stick datatraveler reader 2gb of kingston

2008-01-26 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Interestingly enough, I have an Asus EeePC ultra-laptop on which I have
just installed XUbuntu 7.10 Gutsy.

This machine has an integrated SD/MMC card reader that identifies itself as an 
USB device with ID 0951:1606 Kingston Technology exactly as your USB pen does.
It shows more or less the same characteristics as yours in "lsusb" except it 
shows "iManufacturer 1 ENE"

I have the utmost trouble trying to use SD-Cards in it. It works (with
some kernel-log reported errors) with SD-Cards of capacity <= 1 GB, but
spits tons of errors and hangs with SD cards of capacity > 1 GB, and
cannot write more than 16MB before hanging on a 4GB SD-HC.

So your hardware is probably not at fault and probably the driver is.

I also own an Acer Aspire 3104 WLMi that integrates an ENE SD-card
reader, this one seens as a "mmcblk0" device and not an USB device.
Anyway it shows the exact same problems with the exact same SD cards
(tried a sample of 4 different SD cards of different capacities).

Those same SD cards showing desperate problems in both my Acer laptop
and Asus laptop running Ubuntu Gutsy works extremely well in my Tomtom
GPS (embedded Linux inside), digital camera, or in a WinXP laptop...

Go figure...

2007-10-30 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Good news there will be a fix ! Any idea about the time it will take to
reach the Gutsy updates ?

Besides this, I'm rather surprised to see the previous comment display
"Urgency = LOW"  when I otherwise see that listing the "release
critical" bugs for Gutsy,  importance "high" displays in the top 6
things such as :

- Azureus hangs or crashes showing splash screen at start  
- Missing package dependencies in bittorrent-gui

(Too bad, kids wont' be able to play with P2P with no trouble...)

But "encrypted filesystems cannot mount and system boot fails" gets a
"urgency = low" ??

No kidding ?

Makes me wonder if I was not mistaken somewhere... Anybody else got some
kind of the same feeling ?

[Bug 119308] Re: Gutsy shutdown doesn't

2007-10-30 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Not sure this is the same bug but :

Recent desktop system  (AMD Sempron, NVidia chipset) which was shutting
down perfectly with Feisty now sporadically hangs on shutdown after
upgrade to Gutsy (kernel 2.6.22-14-generic).

Not easy for me to be very specific, the machine is 400 miles away, it's
a friend's machine which I administer from remote using SSH and of
course I have no access to it when hanged on shutdown... According to
the reports I got from her, machine stays forever on shutdown splash
screen and nothing else happens. I have remotely deactivated the splash
screen in grub's menu.lst to see if it can help or check last system
messages from now on.

Syslog doesn't show anything special after such a hang.

She reported to me having had some filesystem errors reported at mount
time after a forced reboot in such situation, so that's possible that
hanging happens before the system is actually completely down.

Machine uses the NVIdia proprietary X11 driver as well as ndiswrapper +
sis163u driver for a Wi-Fi USB thing and I was suspecting one of them to
be the cause of the issue - I've seen that losing the Wi-Fi connection
sometimes hangs the system in Gutsy where it wouldn't happen in Feisty,
although the "Windows" driver used by ndiswrapper is the same, so I was
suspecting something weird could happen when shutting down networking.

[Bug 159015] Gutsy release overall quality and regressions

2007-10-31 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Public bug reported:

I'm not sure wheter this is the appropriate place, but after I've fresh-
installed Gusty - or upgraded Feisty to Gutsy - on 7 different systems
(1 server, 4 desktops, 2 laptops), I have felt quite disappointed with
this new release, as each installation or upgrade on each machine
brought me its host of bugs and regressions from Feisty.

So I felt the need of opening this "bug report" for overall release
quality and report most serious trouble as a whole "distro bug".

To make it plain and simple, Feisty worked like a charm on every machine
I used it on, while Gutsy broke something important - or at least
annoying - on each and every machine I tried it on.

The only improvement that matters to me and that Gutsy brought over
Feisty is that, one one laptop, I now have support for the included
SD/MMC card reader where Feisty didn't see it at all.

To be honest, I have mostly tested and used the KDE flavour (Kubuntu)
and not much the Gnome flavour (Ubuntu), so I cannot tell whether there
are significant improvements in the Gnome area.

For the rest... Trouble.

Among the most serious or annoying bugs I fell upon :

- Kubuntu's adept_manager is simply not up to the job of upgrading from Feisty 
to Gutsy (where Ubuntu's tool does it quite well). adept_manager systematically 
fails during upgrades in plenty of situations ; it's enough that a package 
upgrade tries to ask "Do I keep your old config file or install the package 
maintainer's new one"  ? For adept_manager to fail. All Kubuntu upgrades I 
started with adept_manager ended in command-line using aptitude... (Bug #158043)
- Upgrading Feisty to Gutsy doesn't put the "initrd" line for the new kernel in 
grub's menu.lst. Seen on 2 machines. Of course then, system boot fails. (Bug 
#156058)
- Gutsy breaks encrypted filesystems at boot time if /usr is in a separate 
partition, as /sbin/cryptsetup has dependancies with libraries located in 
/usr/lib . Encrypted partitions don't mount, system won't boot. (Bug #139635)
- Several daemons don't start anymore as /var/run is now tmpfs but the daemon 
startup script doesn't find nor create their /var/run/somedaemon directory. 
Suffered from this for 2 daemons (sympa and dspam), seen that same problem has 
been reported for more. (Bug #158252 and others)
- A machine that used to shutdown plain good in feisty now sporadically hangs 
shutting down in Gutsy, kind of problem reported by several others (Bug #119308)
- Laptops using ATI display driver used to suspend to RAM and hibernate 
properly in Feisty. Now they crash trying to suspend or hibernate in Gusty. 
(Bug #121653)
- A machine that showed a Wi-Fi connection perfectly stable in Feisty, using 
ndiswrapper and a Windows driver, now has an unstable Wi-Fi connection in Gusty 
- using the same Windows driver, even reinstalled it - and now happens to hang 
completely if losing Wi-Fi link - never happened with Feisty.

What a bunch of serious regressions ! I was really disappointed seing so
many pure regressions from Feisty to Gutsy on each and every machine I
installed or upgraded...

Not even stating that I have installed systems for friends which I
convinced to try to step out of Windows into Linux with the "easy,
polished and stable" Ubuntu, friends who are now laughing at their
instable system that crashes at shutdown, won't hibernate since the
upgrade, etc... I know have to face friends stating I broke their system
"upgrading" it, and well, they're damn right...

I would add to this the poor choice of replacing Good Old Konqueror with
Dolphin as default file manager in Kubuntu - not found yet a single
person preferring Dolphin to Konqueror, whether newbie or experimented
Linux user.

I sincerely hope that the release of "hardy" will pay much more
attention NOT TO REGRESS on so many, and important, points (Geeez !
Daemons that don't start ! Partitions that don't mount ! Systems that
don't even boot !) for my confidence in Ubuntu has been quite undermined
by these recent experiences I had...

[Bug 139635] Re: [cryptsetup] library dependency in /sbin/cryptsetup

2007-10-31 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
I added "libgpg-error" to the "affects" as cryptsetup has dependancies
to both libgcrypt11 and libgpg-error0, both currently being in /usr/lib,
and both needed to be moved to /lib ...

[Bug 156058] Re: Upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy doesn't put initrd line in Grub.

2007-10-31 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
On one of the machines for which the "initrd" grub's menu.lst line
wasn't added, my /etc/kernel-img.conf  says :

do_symlinks = yes
relative_links = yes
do_bootloader = no
do_bootfloppy = no
do_initrd = yes
link_in_boot = no

I would add that on this machine, the root filesystem resides on EVMS
which means something like LVM on top of software RAID...

On the second machine, I have :

do_symlinks = yes
relative_links = yes
do_bootloader = no
do_bootfloppy = no
do_initrd = yes
link_in_boot = no
postinst_hook = update-grub
postrm_hook   = update-grub

This one has the rootfs on "standard" /dev/sda5

[Bug 156058] Re: Upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy doesn't put initrd line in Grub.

2007-10-31 Thread Swâmi Petaramesh
Would it explain why it got the "kernel" entries and lines and not the
"initrd" ?

The 2nd machine was a clean first-install of a Kubuntu Feisty then
network-upgraded to Gutsy with some trouble (every Kubuntu upgrade I
made caused trouble with adept_manager bailing out on error and forcing
me to finish manually with command-line aptitude).

I attach the /var/log/apt/term.log for the 2nd machine, but I now
realize that I'm not a hundred percent sure that this is the correct
machine. I'm 100% sure that on 2 machines I upgraded (among several) I
noticed the grub menu.lst kernel entry had been added but not the initrd
entry, but I'm only 80% sure it was _this_ machine... As previously
said, I had different kind of trouble with every machine I upgraded and
solved the problems as they came. I cannot guarantee that I make no
mistake that *this* machine was one of the 2 with this specific problem.
I think it is, but wouldn't bet my life on it ;-)
