2009-04-20 Thread yareckon
The link works actually if you cut and paste into a web browser, but
hitting "ok", when it asks if it should download it for you results in a
timeout.  Dunno if this is a server side issue at sun or if the
virtualbox way of downloading in the background is just brittle somehow.

The (working!) link is:
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.0.4/VBoxGuestAdditions_2.0.4.iso

When you hit ok, it tries for about 20 secs, then says:

Failed to download the VirtualBox Guest Additions CD image from 
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.0.4/VBoxGuestAdditions_2.0.4.iso.

[Bug 289000] [NEW] serious networking problems (lags, stalls) with dell inspiron 640m

2008-10-24 Thread yareckon
Public bug reported:

serious networking problems (lags, stalls) with dell inspiron 640m

I just upgraded an inspiron 640m with intel wireless and broadcom
ethernet from hardy to *intrepid rc1* today and ran into a lot of
continuing network lag and stalls.

Here is the networking hardware:
0c:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG 
[Golan] Network Connection [8086:4222] (rev 02)
02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX 
[14e4:170c] (rev 02)

After upgrade completes, I get serious intermittent lag before the
system transfers any serious amount of data on both wireless and wired
connections.  Sometimes pages load in a snap, other times I get 60
seconds of wait time before the page loads.  These are pages like the
new york times and launchpad that loaded like lightning 24/7 in hardy
(half an hour ago).

Ping works almost immediately.  SSH worked, but very slowly.  Some
webpages half load instantly, then stall.  Others never load.  The wifi
light on the laptop blinks steadily on and off.

I found this thread as it mentions my model machine and wireless
driver--->  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/263059
Of course my machine booted, so probably not the same issue.  Did notice
another dude in the thread having wireless throughput issues though on
my exact machine.

I noticed the folks in that thread all saw their problem with the
wireless driver ceased after FTRACE was disabled in 2.6.27-7.12.  My
kernel on install of intrepid was 2.6.27-7.11, so I manually downloaded
the 2.6.27-7.14 build and installed, rebooted.

Still roughly the same symptoms.  Small transfers happen ok.  Larger
bits of data may take a dozen seconds to start.  They run a full speed
for a while, then stall.

*) same problem with multiple browsers... konqueror and firefox both stalling 
right now out loading the NYTimes.  Slashdot came up instantly a second ago, 
now amazon is churning for 15 seconds.  Now 45 seconds  
*) I'm sitting right next to the router with 99% signal strength
*) Also happens when ethernet is plugged in, can't tell if it's worse or better.
*) Mac mini running Debian sid sitting on the desk right here is loading 
everything instantly on the same internet connection.  So very unlikely to be a 
problem with my link.

What files should I include?  Thanks!

[Bug 264019] Re: unable to visit some websites and ftpsites with 2.6.27

2008-10-25 Thread yareckon
Can someone change the release notes header to read "Severe Connectivity
Problems caused by Enabled TCP Timestamps behind older routers". the
heading "TCP Timestamps" says nothing that will catch the eye of someone
reading the release notes before an upgrade.

Please also put "Verizon" in bold.  This is a really big, problem.  A
dangerous one for linux in terms of impressions.   When 20% of ubuntu
users on the east coast of the U.S. are going to drop off the net on
upgrade, you want to warn them first.

We also need to pressure Verizon (Westtel) and Netgear to get their shit
together.  Hopefully the upstream patch works, but pressuring the router
makers should happen.

[Bug 287328] Re: After Upgrade to 8.10: Keyboard & Mouse Issues after using keyboard to change the display brightness

2008-10-30 Thread yareckon
I am also currently affected by this bug in Intrepid. It may have been
there last week as well, or it may have appeared in intrepid in the last
couple of days. It's bad in that folks could get frustrated and lose
their work if they are using gtk based apps where file menus are failing
to work.  The above is a great description of this bug... but see below
for my take on it:

The only thing that I would add is that a single press of the keyboard
brightness adjustment combo (Fn + down arrow) seems to register as if
the key was constantly down... i.e. brightness goes from 100% and
rapidly shrinks to 0% after only one light keypress.  The repeated
phantom "keypresses" start as soon as you release the Fn key in the
combo.  For me the brightness heads-up display widget also stays in the
foreground on top of other windows.

With these phantom keypresses perhaps the keyboard buffer could be
staying filled and this could be causing the keyboard malfunctions and
the menus failing to appear on mouseclick?  Menus on apps which aren't
GTK based still seem to work, perhaps the display of non-gtk menus
aren't interrupted by the continual keyboard events?

I am on an Inspiron 640m with intel graphics.  I am running Compiz, but
this bug also manifests with Compiz disabled.

[Bug 203623] Re: Thunderbird can't access network files

2009-01-23 Thread yareckon
I have the same issue on intrepid .  thunderbird-gnome-support is
installed as well, which is supposed to allow save/attach from network
shares using vfs, correct?

Thunderbird version is 2.0.0.19 (20090105)  
Intrepid i386.

Would love to get this fixed, as I have been reduced to creating a
folder called ~/email_shelf as a place to put files that are going
to/from network drives and thunderbird.

Oh BTW, firefox has the same issue for me in case that helps us identify
where the problem lies.  firefox-gnome-support is also installed, to no
apparent effect with regard to saving/opening from network drives.

I think that on install, in a debconf box,  virtualbox should say that
KVM is the default virtualization service, but that virtualbox kernel
module can't start if the kvm service is running. Would you like to
disable it?

Alternatively, virtualbox could disable the kvm service / unload the kvm
module on startup and restart it when it exits.

[Bug 458469] Re: Karmic: Mouse pointer freezes on resume

2010-01-30 Thread yareckon
OK, so finally was able to google enough to find what was needed to
restart the mouse this issue, but still don't understand why there was a
regression in ubuntu on this, and don't know what the longterm fix is.

On Fedora 11 Naresh Kumar posted the following issue with a workaround
at the below link.  Basically, the bcm5974 driver is getting loaded
after X.org is restarted after resume.  Because the driver is loaded so
late, the touchpad is not configured by X.

if your mouse freezes, you can manually remove the kernel driver and
then renable it to start up the mouse again:

sudo /sbin/rmmod bcm5974
sudo /sbin/modprobe bcm5974

He provides a script that you can place in /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d in section 
14. in the below post:
http://nareshv.blogspot.com/2009/06/fedora-11-64-bit-final-on-macbook-pro.html

Here's the deal... is this the ultimate fix, or a workaround?  If this
is the best fix, can we get it into an ubuntu package so that people on
this machine don't have this issue?

Here is a redhat bug that was filed, and seems to have been abandoned when 
fedora 10 was end-of-lifed:

[Bug 480829] [NEW] Create folder button higlights / clicks / selects first item in directory

2009-11-11 Thread yareckon
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

This is a bug in the gnome file / save dialogue.  If nautilus isn't the
right place to file this, please move it.

Description:
When saving a file from any application, and wishing to create a new folder to 
contain the file, clicking on the Create Folder button has the effect of 
selecting the first item in the list of visible files and placing the cursor in 
the name of the first item, rather than creating a new "Type name of new 
folder"  folder and placing the cursor there to edit it.  

Reproducibility: 
Only happens to me when the default, natural sort of the files in the save file 
dialog results in a file (not a directory) being the first (top) item in the 
list.  If I click on the listing headers ( Name | Modified ) to sort the files, 
or if the first item is a directory in the default sort, the bug doesn't occur.

[Bug 563079] Re: Eclpise freezes on startup

2010-05-18 Thread yareckon
I've tried installing eclipse 3.5.2 from eclipse.org and it works fine,
so the workaround for now is to not use the ubuntu package.

2009-09-09 Thread yareckon
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdegraphics

kde screenruler 4.2.2 on jaunty

steps to reproduce:
switch ruler to measure in pixels
switch ruler to east orientation
run mouse over ruler to read off pixel position

behavior: 
ruler tooltip starts counting at 23px or however wide your window 
decoration happens to be
is (i.e. tooltip value = ruler marker value + window decoration)

expected behavior:
tooltip should report ruler value 
(i.e. tooltip value = ruler marker value)

[Bug 397211] Re: Shiretoko user agent string breaks compatibilty with major websites

2009-09-23 Thread yareckon
Not all web browsers have the same capabilities.  When dealing with
widely different classes of browsers, say mobile versus desktop,
sniffing the useragent string is a reasonable way to get information
from the client to deal with issues like screen sizes etc.  Libraries
like WURFL ensure that these days, this is not a suicidal treadmill of
work, as long as browsers with known capabilities don't change their
useragent strings for no reason*.  This creates more work for everyone.

It's certainly nuts to be relying heavily on useragent sniffing for
anything as fundamental as delivering text content to desktop browsers
these days, but the alternative is javascript or even worse in some
cases where one has to build richly interactive content that 1)
validates and 2) sings and or dances and 3) looks great.  Many times
delivering different markup to different browsers is not needed, but
occasionally it is.  The HTML5 transition especially is a time to be
explicit about browser capabilities, unless you don't care about page
weight for all of the alternative markup / workarounds / hacks you're
going to be delivered, or missing the content you're going to see the
fallback version of.

Not consistently identifying clients capable of using this new tech is
going to keep people from implementing new stuff on the server.  Not
everyone can upgrade their browsers.  If new browsers identify
themselves consistently, the server guys can move forward with you
without dumping corporate America or that old library computer, or last
year's shiny mobile phone.  Again 95% of the time, there should be no
need to do this, but serving HTML5 or SVG for instance to a mobile
browser from 2005 is bad news.  Oh, you say we should wrap those nice
new elements in javascript to prevent them from displaying to the wrong
browsers?  Wait, what was the point of plain HTML again?

*I certainly understand if this is a legal issue (trademark) or an
ideological one (web standards maybe).  However, at the moment, whoever
is in charge of this part of the ranch is giving the impression of total
unaccountability to users as time passes without an explanation or fix.
Either tell us to get lost, tell us you don't have time, explain why you
want to fix the internet first, etc...  Community - Communication =
Failure

[Bug 438136] Re: palimpsest bad sectors false positive

2009-10-22 Thread yareckon
Hi guys, I have a 3 month old samsung ssd, which has  2179072
reallocated sectors (probably due to flash wear levelling on the drive
as I have 0 "uncorrectable sector count" and 0 "Realocation count" ).  I
get yelled at every time I log into karmic that my drive is failing.
The reallocated sector count has not changed in a month of heavy usage,
so I don't think it's a drive in collapsing condition.  I would also
like an error dialog that says something like


Caution! Your drive has a high number of reallocated sectors, which may be a 
result of failing hardware.  Currently the drive reports it is *passing* SMART 
checks, which are designed to detect a failing drive, so this warning may be 
incorrect.  Certain types of storage such as solid state drives (ssds) have 
large numbers of reallocated sectors to extend their life.  It is recommended 
that you back up your data in case your drive is about to fail.
What would you like to do now:
> Display the error messages and stats
> Inform me if the drive health further deteriorates

Naturally the scary warnings wouldn't be tempered if the SMART status
was actually failing.

What do you say?  I love Palimpest, but people will ignore the warnings
if every netbook and SSD drive cries wolf.

[Bug 458469] [NEW] Karmic: Mouse pointer freezes on resume

2009-10-22 Thread yareckon
Public bug reported:

I have a Macbook Air 1,1 running the Karmic beta.  When I resume from
suspend, the mouse pointer does not reactivate, remaining stuck wherever
it last was.  The keyboard is fully functional.  I don't know whether
the file this against the x-server-intel or against the power management
system.

Description:Ubuntu 9.10
Repeatability: Always
Observed behavior: the mouse is frozen on resume; the keyboard works
Expected behavior: the mouse should work too.

I have the karmic versions of gpomme and pommed from the mactel ppa
installed in order to run the keyboard sensors and backlight.

this suspend / resume issue.  
* I am running the "Normal" Visual Effects on the GPU (Intel Corporation Mobile

[Bug 458469] Re: Karmic: Mouse pointer freezes on resume

2009-10-22 Thread yareckon
here is /var/log/messages during the suspend / resume process.  (closing
the lid until the lights go out and the sleep indicator goes on, then
opening the lid and logging into the machine.)

*  The mouse pointer is frozen even on the gnome screensaver login screen.
*  I don't know why there is no break in the timestamps in the log between 
suspend and resume, maybe part of the suspend process is time suspension (?)

Anything else I can add to help you guys diagnose this?

P.S. this is an upgrade (through upgrade manager) from Jaunty (where
suspend resume has worked fine for 6 months), this is not a new
conversion from MacOS.

Looks like there is a patch to gvfs upstream.  Looks like it it is still
a bit of a workaround?
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=627567#c9  Tomas seems to
indicate this is originally a problem with fuse?  Should we be worried
about issues with other backends that use fuse?

userspace hibernation/suspend.  However I don't know what to do about
the core issue that stock ubuntu doesn't resume properly on macbook air

pointing out the regression, and our workarounds.  Hope that helps folks
