[Bug 39328] Re: Offer option to disable scroll wheel on task list
Wanted to chime in on how annoying this "feature" is. In particular the desktop switch when mouse wheel event occurs on desktop. Whats worse is that certain parts of some GTK interfaces (labels, for example on the nvidia-settings program) and other unexpected parts of some GUIs will also cause this desktop switching behavior, despite the fact the cursor is over the application window (its really bad when its things like the trough near a scroll bar). I've been using Linux for about 12 years now and gnome since early 1.0 releases and its things like this, that make it feel like its progressing backwards in usability, probably an exaggeration, but reflects just how $&*...@ing annoying this is. I think this option should be disabled by default. If some masochistic user wants to enable it, give them a gconf option somewhere, call it something like "/desktop/gnome/really-annoying-desktop-switch-mouse- wheel-hell". -- Offer option to disable scroll wheel on task list https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/39328 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm also getting lockups on my Ubuntu Studio 9.04 system. I've tried the -rt kernel, the generic kernel and Daniel T Chen's kernel (see #367671). At first I suspected an issue with PulseAudio running rt SCHED_FIFO and starving the CPU.

[Bug 367671] [NEW] PulseAudio gets killed by SIGXCPU
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: pulseaudio I'm using Ubuntu Studio 9.04 and have enabled PulseAudio (0.9.14-0ubuntu20) with real time enabled. While playing music I noticed that the audio output would suddenly stop, though Amarok kept on as if everything was fine. I noticed that pulseaudio was no longer running, when running it from the command line I observed again the same behavior and the last output line from PulseAudio was "Killed". By attaching strace with -e trace=signal I found that it would occasionally get a SIGXCPU signal. On the 3rd signal, pulseaudio gets killed, presumably by the Linux kernel. I resolved this issue on my system by setting "no-cpu-limit = yes" in the /etc/pulse/daemon.conf file. It seems by default the soft limit of "Max cpu time" was set to 10ms (as reported from /proc/PID/limits), which was getting exceeded. Since PulseAudio has been otherwise running just fine, I think this rlimit setting is too conservative and should probably be raised (not sure if this is possible via the daemon.conf).

[Bug 367671] Re: PulseAudio gets killed mysteriously
Daniel T Chen: After additional testing I experienced a complete system lockup with the stock Ubuntu 9.04 generic kernel. I suspect it was because I had the PulseAudio option "no-cpu-limit = yes" enabled with SCHED_FIFO RT as well and it got in a loop. So this is starting to sound exactly as you describe. I have been testing your posted kernel for a couple days now and its working great. Sorry for doubting you! ;-) It seems the -rt kernel has some sort of SCHED_FIFO lockup protection though which was killing the PulseAudio task when it got too CPU hungry. I'm curious what particular option this is in the Kernel.

[Bug 190754] Re: Over-optimistic buffering in PulseAudio causes underruns (audible stuttering, pops)
I just upgraded to 2.6.24-18 kernel as well. At first I was using the rt kernel, which did not behave any better in regards to audio drop outs (than previous versions in Hardy). Of note is that I'm NOT using PulseAudio, but just plain ALSA. I then tried the regular 2.6.24-18 kernel and I have yet to been able to get Rhythmbox to drop out. Using a small test application I wrote which does system calls like malloc() and chdir() and times how long they take, I found that running this app as a normal user with the rt kernel can spike up over 400ms for system calls when doing things like minimizing/maximizing windows, whereas the generic 2.6.24-18 kernel max is under 80ms. I believe the default gstreamer buffer size is 300ms. So there still exist some differences between the rt and non-rt 2.6.24-18 Ubuntu kernel which are causing rather significant system call latencies. Of note though, is that SCHED_FIFO audio applications are able to run on my system with the rt kernel at sub 4ms latency, without issues, so the problem is for the SCHED_OTHER normal user case. I was previously using the rt kernel in Gutsy without these issues, so there is likely still something to be fixed in the latest rt kernel. -- Over-optimistic buffering in PulseAudio causes underruns (audible stuttering, pops) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190754 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Looks like the same crash that I was getting with that Kernel, so it doesn't seem to be file system specific. I'm still using the stock 2.6.29.4 Kernel that I built with make-kpkg and have not had any crashes. It gets fairly good latency response (only occasional underruns with 5ms latency on my Edirol UA-25 USB audio interface). It would probably improve if I patched the kernel with the low latency patch. I wonder how many other users are getting crashes with 2.6.28-3-rt though. Seems like a pretty critical issue to me.

[Bug 190754] Re: Over-optimistic buffering in PulseAudio causes underruns (audible stuttering, pops)
I'm also experiencing audio stuttering and wanted to contribute my findings. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 with the rt kernel. First off, I think there are many sources of this problem which all result in audio drop outs, which is likely why this bug has become so confusing. I was also experiencing various issues with PulseAudio, so I have completely disabled it and am now using ALSA dmix. For this reason, I should probably be filing this under another bug, which I will do as I gather more information. In my case, the audio drop out issue does not occur with applications like MPlayer, Amarok and aplay. I also tried VLC, which suffers very slightly from this issue (which I suspect is another issue). Rhythmbox, Totem, and Sound Recorder on the other hand are really bad. Minimizing/maximizing windows causes a rather large audio drop out about 50% of the time. This lead me to believe there is something wrong with gstreamer. So I decided to try gst-launch: gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=test.mp3 ! mad ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! alsasink Indeed, this gstreamer pipeline has the same audio drop out behavior as all the other applications using gstreamer. I also tested ogg files with a gst-launch pipeline, with the same poor results. So in this case, I think I am experiencing some issue involving gstreamer. I'll be sure to post any more info as I discover it. -- Over-optimistic buffering in PulseAudio causes underruns (audible stuttering, pops) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190754 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 190754] Re: Over-optimistic buffering in PulseAudio causes underruns (audible stuttering, pops)
Just a follow up on my previous post concerning stuttering with gstreamer and ALSA. Sorry if its a little off topic (not directly related to PulseAudio). I was able to get gstreamer based applications to not drop out anymore by increasing the buffer size. With gconf-editor add the parameter "buffer-time=40" (for 400ms buffer size) to the audiosink, chataudiosink and musicaudiosink keys in /system/gstreamer/0.10/default. So the key values should look like: alsasink buffer-time=40 The default is 200ms though, which seems like more than enough. This suggests that there is something more sinister going on in regards to latency (as others have suggested). I think the nvidia driver is a good candidate, since it seems like it most often occurs when doing min/maximize of windows and not when other non graphics processes are consuming all of CPU (at least in my case). -- Over-optimistic buffering in PulseAudio causes underruns (audible stuttering, pops) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190754 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
