[Bug 282315] Re: Gnome-sudoku timings all wrong

2009-11-28 Thread Mal Gamble
Actually, it appears that a patch has been submitted for this problem (see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=556932#c10). I don't know how long it will take for this to filter through to Ubuntu. Maybe it will be fixed in Lucid. Mal -- Gnome-sudoku timings all wrong https://bugs.launch

I have also found that Sudoku in Karmic always reports game times of about 58 seconds. After having a bit of a look around the source, it seems that the problem relates to the autosave function. Autosave is triggered ever 60 seconds (or the time set by gconf /apps/gnome- sudoku/auto_save_interval

Further to my earlier note about getting a blue screen with intel i810 video, I have worked around my problem by reverting to my original hardy mythbuntu diskless image for the frontend. This is now served by my Jaunty backend / server machine and is working well. Mal -- [ubuntu jaunty] Blue Sc

I have a similar problem with my Mythtv frontend. This is a Compaq Deskpro Pentium III system with on-board Intel i810 video with reference number 8086:1132. When I try to watch TV with Mythtv, I just get a blue screen. Sound works correctly and it responds keypresses, so I can back out of TV mo

I have now managed to get this working on my Intrepid system. The trick was to install Coherence 5.8 from the "Cheeseshop" as well as installing the SVN version of the Rhythmbox plugin. Mal -- Rhythmbox Coherence UPnP doesn't work. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278790 You received this bug no

Unfortunately, I have not been able to duplicate John's success on my Intrepid system. I followed the instructions above and after I fix the "import louie" line and run Rhythmbox, I get no messages about Coherence and no sign of any shared music. This was using the python-coherence package from t

Actually, I think this bug is related to problem with mount.nfs trying to mount an export on a non-existent server. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/234480. This problem has appeared in Ubuntu Hardy but not in Gutsy. By the way, I don't see why a design flaw couldn't

I really don't understand why this issue has not received more attention from other users. This bug seriously degrades the usefulness of autofs on Hardy. Maybe not many people use autofs? To make sure I didn't have some particular problem with the computer I found the problem with, I installed H

I am seeing this problem with the updated nfs-common package in Hardy. As shown below, I get about a 38 second hang when attempting to mount an export from an off-line server. The same thing on Gutsy produces a "No route to host" message and returns in about 3 seconds. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /e
