2008-11-18 Thread Jim in Chicago
I can validate this fix, it worked for me with my logitech quickcam pro 4000 using the pwc driver and 2.6.27-7-generic kernel. All I had to do was add the repos, and do the update. No reboot or other fussing around needed. Pending other problems I'd call this bug fixed. On Mon, 2008-11-17 at

Same behavior here with Logitech Quickcam pro 4000 (046d:08b2). Green screen in skype and cheese, but vlc can display video just fine (v4l2://). Initially, Ekiga could also display video, until I tried changing a video setting and it crashed. Now, Ekiga crashes on every open when it accesses cam

Thanks for the quick fix! It was in the ~/.config/lottanzb/hellanzb.conf file, and that did the trick. Downloaded a test file and it's working like a champ. My /home/user/.lottanzb dir seems to have disappeared, but it doesn't seem to need it. thanks again. -- lottanzb won't start after upgra

Same thing here, except I have an ATI Radeon 4350 and dual screens. Mouse cursor completely disappears and visual effects is reset to 'none'. Re-enabling the visual effects fixes the problem, but every re- boot resets it. -- [Lucid] Visual effects unconfigured with each reboot https://bugs.launch

I have not done a bios upgrade, yet, but DID disable KMS by putting 'nomodeset' in grub2. I still get a flickering (and downward trending) change in brightness whenever I play a movie. I've repeated this with avi, flv, and mpg files and several different players including vlc. This may be separate

I confirm this is still a problem with the RC on kernel 3.6.31-14 This is a show-stopping bug on the MSI Wind. Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and UNR are basically un-installable on this (very popular) netbook. When Ubuntu (including K and UNR) detects the camera, it loses the usb stick or usb CD-rom that it'

Don't expire this, instead please fix it. Network-manager doesn't see modems anymore and tethered phones present as modems. This is a regression. I see that mobile broadband is a tab in network-manager, except there is no way to specify the device to use, and apparently it also ignores modems. --

Tethered phones are seen as modems and nm ignores them as that functionality was dropped. Unfortunately, a lot of people still use tethered phones instead of usb dongles. So, this is a regression, and it's been present for 3 versions of Ubuntu so far. There is no reason people should have to us

This remained an issue with 9.04, and remains in 9.10. This regression on modems has been going on a long time, which leads me to ask: Is ANYONE doing ANYTHING with nm?

Same here, I have 1:0.9.14-0ubuntu20.2 installed and it has my PCM at 0 volume and muted every startup. I have found out this, though. If I have to kill my system (NOT go through the normal shutdown) the pcm volume is ok when the system comes back up. So, I must infer that whatever is doing this
