[Bug 44874] Re: auto smbfs mount in /etc/fstab causes hald hang at boot
I don't think this is a bug in smbfs. Since I upgraded to Dapper, my cifs (i.e. not smbfs) mount in /etc/fstab hasn't been working on boot. There weren't any obvious problems, no errors from the kernel, and no hangups*, so I was a bit puzzled but didn't get around to investigating it. The share doesn't get used very often and a simple 'sudo mount /mnt/share' mounted it when I needed it. Today I found this report and tried the workaround suggested, by adding noauto to the fstab entry and putting 'mount /mnt/share' in /etc/rc.local. This fixed the problem. It seems to me there is a general problem with mounting network shares, not just smbfs. I've not tried nfs. * unlike the experiences described here with smbfs - although I'm using Kubuntu and don't have Gnome installed, which may have affected things since some people mentioned problems with Nautilus. -- auto smbfs mount in /etc/fstab causes hald hang at boot https://launchpad.net/bugs/44874 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Which version should I upgrade to? I'm running the latest versions available in Dapper (firefox 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.7-ubuntu0.6.06 and gtk- engines-gtk-qt 0.60-1.1ubuntu7 at the time of writing). Am I right in thinking that the fix has been released upstream in Edgy and probably won't be backported to Dapper? As this is a work machine I don't really want to go to Edgy until it's stable. For what it's worth, this machine was originally installed using a Kubuntu 5.10 CD and subsequently upgraded. I have a number of other machines that were installed using Ubuntu 6.06 CDs, and the problem has not occurred on these, even though kubuntu-desktop was subsequently installed and the default window manager was changed from Gnome to KDE.

[Bug 113637] Samba printers requiring username/password fail on reboot
Public bug reported:
Printers at my work are only accessible via Samba, with a valid username
and password. I add them through the KDE System Settings->Printers
dialogue, as SMB printers, using my username and password. On initial
setup, they work fine (both a Samsung CLP-500 using the splix drivers
and a Kyocera Mita 3035 using the default drivers that ship with
Ubuntu). On reboot, they no longer work, as in no document or test page
sent to either printer seems to get through, no error messages come back
(that I have found), it just says "Document successfully sent to the
printer" and that's the last I hear.
Similar problems seem to have been mentioned on the KDE-print-devel list, e.g.
at http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-print-devel/2007-February/001563.html, so
this may well be an upstream bug. The problem seems to be related to the device
uri. When a printer has initially been added, in the KDE printer setup program
main page, selecting the printer shows its info, which contains the following
line:
Device: smb://workgroup/SERVER/networkprintername
After reboot, its info appears instead as
Device: smb://username:pass (truncated)
In both cases, these strings match the value returned by 'lpstat -v
localprintername'. I've tried manually setting the Device info back to
what it initially appears as, via 'lpadmin -p localprintername -v
smb://workgroup/SERVER/networkprintername' but this doesn't appear to
fix the problem.
It's almost certainly related to the fact that my network samba password
contains a hash ('#') character. Before reboot, when the printers are
working fine, my username and password do not appear in the Device info.
After reboot, when the printers no longer work, the Device info contains
my username, my password up to but not including the # character, and
nothing else. The workgroup, server and printer name have all
disappeared.
I'm aware that accessing a printer via username/password over samba is
not recommended by the cups team for security reasons, but I don't have
much choice. It's strange to me that the printer works initially, but
something in the reboot process screws with the settings and causes this
breakage. It's not the end of the world, but I'd like to find some kind
of workaround for this and I currently just don't know enough about how
the printing system works to go any further. I've tried looking for a
config file that stores the network credentials for use of the printer,
so that I can escape the # by changing it to a %23 (if that's the
correct uri escape character), but so far haven't been able to find it.
Ideally of course, a proper fix would be available as opposed to a
workaround.
If this is an upstream bug, please let me know so I can report it there
instead/as well. At the moment I'm not sure if the problem lies with
smbspool, or with the KDE Printer setup's method of hiding the username
& password for a samba printer uri, or something else.
For info, I'm running Kubuntu 7.04, currently fully up-to-date.

I found a trivial patch for it at http://www.mail- archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg104193.html I downloaded the source for the "latest development version" of mpc123 following instructions on http://mpc123.sourceforge.net/dl.php and applied the patch.

[Bug 131321] Re: distmp3host fails to start on i386
Just in case it helps with debugging this problem: distmp3host starts normally after it's installed, whether it's a fresh install, or a reinstall using 'apt-get install --reinstall distmp3'. However, it doesn't start after a reboot, from '/etc/init.d/distmp3 start' or '/etc/init.d/distmp3 restart', or even from 'distmp3host' run directly from an interactive shell. It looks from this as though something's wrong in the initscript, but the same problem isn't in the package post-install script. I've tried looking at the initscript /etc/init.d/distmp3 and what I think is the post-install script (/var/lib/dpkg/info/distmp3.postinst), but can't figure out the problem. I don't know much about initscripts or shell scripts in general so it's a bit of a mystery to me what's going on. Just to clarify again, my original bug report was misleading, this doesn't appear to be an i386 issue at all. So far I have observed it on 3 different x86 machines and a PowerPC. Presumably other architectures are also affected. I don't mind looking into this further as I'm sure it's quite a simple problem, but I need some idea of what to investigate. -- distmp3host fails to start on i386 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/131321 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 85291] Re: ext 3 filesystems are never fsck'ed if they live on removable USB disks
I'd like to add a further comment to this bug. I have a computer running Kubuntu Feisty with an external hard drive which is formatted with JFS. At some point it was apparently removed from the computer without being properly unmounted (I'm not sure if this was due to a system crash or someone being careless as I'm not the only user of the computer, and it happened when someone else was using it). The next time the external drive was connected, as usual the KDE automount popup appeared, but when a user attempted to access the disk it failed to mount. I'm afraid I don't remember the exact error message it gave, but it wasn't too helpful. I tried mounting the drive by hand, and that didn't work either. I checked 'dmesg | tail' to see if any information appeared there, and there was a message about JFS. I'm pretty sure that it didn't mention anything about the drive being improperly unmounted, but I guessed that this was the cause of the problem and ran fsck. Sure enough, once fsck had run the drive mounted just fine. The point I'm trying to make here is that while I've been using Linux for a few years and didn't have too much trouble figuring out what the problem was, the other users of the computer were stumped. The fact that external drives are never fsck'ed is definitely a bad thing from the point of view of data integrity, but if the automounter doesn't detect when an external drive hasn't been properly unmounted and offer the option of checking the system most users are going to be much more confused when the drive won't mount, which I think is a more serious problem.

[Bug 218791] [NEW] displayconfig-gtk settings don't persist
Public bug reported: I just upgraded to Hardy from Gutsy. I'm using an old S3 Virge, which under Gutsy I had running just fine at [EMAIL PROTECTED] However, under Hardy neither the monitor nor the graphics card seem to be picked up correctly. All I can get is the failsafe 800x600 resolution with the vesa driver, which isn't much good to me. I can't use my known good xorg.conf from Gutsy because of the change to the new displayconfig-gtk (I have tried, and it gets ignored). I've tried connecting the computer up to an older monitor, a Hansol 920P, and setting it to a more modest 1024x768, but this hasn't helped. When I run displayconfig-gtk (via gksudo), I can specify different resolutions and the (correct) s3virge driver. The tests for 1024x768 and the s3virge appear to run fine, but the resolution doesn't apparently change, even when I close displayconfig-gtk with the "OK" button. When I run displayconfig-gtk again immediately afterwards, the settings have reverted to the failsafe defaults. I've been using Linux for several years, and am fairly comfortable with the command line and configuring things in general, but this "easy-to- use" tool has me stumped. I'm not sure whether my ancient hardware is part of the problem, but since it was working just fine on the previous release of Ubuntu I'm not willing to upgrade it, which seems a bit wasteful. The problem with the configuration failing to change/getting forgotten every time doesn't seem to be hardware specific, although since I've no idea what displayconfig-gtk is doing in the background it's hard for me to say. Attached are the output of 'sudo ddcprobe', 'sudo lspci -vv' and xrandr, in the hopes that they are of help.

[Bug 204996] Re: Linux kernel 2.6.24-12 lockup
I'm experiencing the same hard freeze with kernel 2.6.24-16. No wireless here, just onboard ethernet. The same system worked just fine under Gutsy, the problem's only started since upgrading to Hardy. My graphics card is an old S3 Virge. Crashes usually appear when watching Youtube in Firefox, but also have occured when watching videos from a locally attached USB drive. System appears stable under light load though - I stupidly uninstalled the Gutsy kernel not long after the upgrade, before I became aware of this problem, so I haven't been able to test the system with the old kernel. The computer is totally unresponsive, the pointer doesn't move etc, and appears offline from when scanned by other computers on the network. The weirdest thing (to me at least) is that after the computer has been power cycled (the only way to get it to respond again) the BIOS sequence hangs. The hard drive light goes on and stays on, but the BIOS doesn't go on to detect the hard drives. The only way to get round this appears to be to hold down the power button for five seconds until the machine shuts down, then leave it for 10 minutes or so, and then turn it back on. After this it appears to behave normally, until the next freeze. There's a post on the forums that appears to be describing the same problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=725669 As suggested on there I tried booting with 'noapic nolapic irqpoll noirqdebug', but this didn't help.

Okay, I managed to get an older version of xorg.conf working, which while not ideal at least makes the computer usable again. It seems the problem wasn't so much with displayconfig-gtk failing to preserve the settings as it was with xrandr/new display config system not supporting s3virge (at least as far as I can tell). While it's understandable that development effort hasn't been focused on such an old chipset, and the new user-friendly method of configuring X is a good idea, it would be nice if there was a better fallback method available for setups that aren't supported by the new tool.

[Bug 204996] Re: Linux kernel 2.6.24-12 lockup
I just had a thought: a number of people have suggested that this may be disk I/O related, and some people have apparently been running the live CD without problems. Has anyone tried doing a persistent install on a USB stick, e.g. as on http://t-skariah.blogspot.com/2008/04/ubuntu-804 -hardy-heron-on-usb.html ? It might help to verify whether the bug was IDE/SATA related. Also, would it possible for someone (preferrably officially, but unofficially is better than not at all) to package up an earlier version of the kernel? I know there's been some discussion on this thread as to what the best thing to do is, and I agree that just giving up on the problem and going back to an earlier kernel isn't a viable longterm solution. However, given how difficult to track down this problem is proving and how frustrating it is for those experiencing it, a properly set up package of an earlier kernel (e.g. 2.6.18) as an interim measure would be very helpful. As it is, the computer I'm experiencing the bug on is essentially unusable. This is a real shame, I just installed Hardy on another computer and it runs beautifully, I am very impressed by how well everything's working when this bug doesn't appear.

Removing distmp3 via apt and then reinstalling it seems to restart distmp3host successfully, and it can be stopped and restarted by the initscript without problem. ** Affects: distmp3 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- distmp3host fails to start on i386 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/131321 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 131321] Re: distmp3host fails to start on i386
The PowerPC server had to be rebooted for another reason after all, and it turns out the problem is the same, this isn't just an x86 problem. distmp3host can't be started, but if the package is removed and re-added it works fine (presumably until the next reboot). -- distmp3host fails to start on i386 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/131321 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 53877] Re: kppp does not assign proper default gateway
I can confirm this under Feisty. I have an ethernet network at home, which normally connects via a modem router. The router IP is the default gateway. Recently the DSL connection was unavailable, and we had to use dialup. The connection was established (although pppd always crashed on the first connection attempt, and a second attempt had to be made, which always succeeded), but gateway problems prevented access to the internet. I found two solutions: 'sudo route add default ppp0', which is very inconvenient, particularly as many of the users of the computer don't have admin access, and editing the file /etc/ppp/peers/kppp-options to include the lines "defaultroute" and "replacedefaultroute". Prior to this edit, the file contained only the line "noauth". In my opinion, these options should probably be included by default. -- kppp does not assign proper default gateway https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/53877 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 52573] Re: GTK+ apps show wrong scrollbars
I've attached a screenshot of the problem. Can't provide steps to reproduce it, as stated above this only occurs on one of my boxes. It could possibly be a side-effect of a problematic upgrade, one of the dist-upgrades crashed partway through (I can't remember exactly what the cause was, something to do with running an smp kernel back before it was obsoleted by the generic kernel), so maybe the recovery from that caused problems with things not being cleaned up properly. As far as I'm concerned this bug can be closed/WONTFIXed, as it's a very minor issue and seems not to affect many people. I've not found any programs that are affected other than Firefox. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot of problem in Firefox" http://librarian.launchpad.net/6847431/ubuntu_firefox_scrollbars_bug.jpg -- GTK+ apps show wrong scrollbars https://launchpad.net/bugs/52573 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 95167] "Start New Session" from Gnome doesn't work when kdm is the default display manager
Public bug reported: Apologies if this is a dupe, I was unable to find a previous version of it. Steps to reproduce: Install ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop. Choose kdm as the default login manager. Log in to a Gnome session. Select "Start New Session" from Gnome menu. New session fails to start. However, if you log in to a KDE session, the Switch User/Start New Session works fine, even if you want to log in to Gnome on the second session. There is particularly a problem if someone has started a Gnome session, then gone away and locked the computer. In KDE this isn't a problem as a subsequent user can just start a new session and use their own login. Presumably switching to a terminal via Ctrl-Alt-Fx and launching a new session by hand would work, although I haven't tested it, but that's way beyond the tech level of most of the users of the computer I have where this is a problem. I realise this may well be a problem with Gnome and kdm not working well together, independent of Ubuntu. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- "Start New Session" from Gnome doesn't work when kdm is the default display manager https://launchpad.net/bugs/95167 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 52573] Re: GTK+ apps show wrong scrollbars
Okay, I need to make an apology. After some more hunting, I found in System Settings-Appearance an option under "GTK Styles and Fonts" to fix the scrollbar issue. The scrollbars no longer overlap the buttons, although I am still having a minor issue. It's visible in the attached screenshot. The left side margin of the thumb (using the term from the Wikipedia page on scrollbars) seems to get left behind when the thumb is moved. When the mouse pointer crosses the edge of the scrollbar then the margin catches up to the rest of the thumb. Again, this only seems to happen in Firefox and not any other GTK2 apps. When I tested Firefox on a different Kubuntu computer via ssh, the scrollbars looked completely different, they appeared to be using the native GTK2 scrollbars. Will try to test it directly (rather than over ssh) later on. As suggested, I tried a "Complete Removal" of Firefox via Synaptic, followed by a reinstall, but this failed to fix the issue. ** Attachment added: "Updated screenshot of problem" http://librarian.launchpad.net/6915897/ubuntu_firefox_scrollbars_bug_mark2.jpg -- GTK+ apps show wrong scrollbars https://launchpad.net/bugs/52573 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 52573] Re: GTK+ apps show wrong scrollbars
Yes, this problem is still occurring on one of the boxes I maintain, but not on others. The box in question is fully up-to-date, running the i386 version of release 6.10. It was originally installed with Kubuntu version 5.10 and has been dist-upgraded twice since then. The other boxes were originally installed with Kubuntu 6.06 or Ubuntu 6.10, which I'm guessing is the reason that they aren't affected. -- GTK+ apps show wrong scrollbars https://launchpad.net/bugs/52573 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 84570] Postscript files fail to open in separate KGhostView from Konqueror
Public bug reported: So far as I can tell, by default in KDE, clicking on a .ps file opens it in KGhostView embedded in the Konqueror window. When I try to open a .ps with a different program by right-clicking, the Konqueror "Open With" menu is empty except for "Other...". This is despite the fact that according to the document type properties (right click->Properties, and select the wrench icon), Postscript documents are associated with KGhostView or "Document Viewer". When I select "Other...", and browse for KGhostView, I cannot find a link for KGhostView in the Ubuntu shortcuts, only under Debian->Apps->Viewers. When KGhostView is selected, it fails to launch with the message "KDEInit could not launch filename.ps". However, if KGhostView is launched separately, and the file is opened via the KGhostView Open File dialogue it works fine. If you'd like more information I can to try to provide it.

[Bug 47760] Re: firefox scrollbar under kubuntu is broken
I have also encountered this bug. I'm not sure which theme I'm using, but it appears not to be plastik. I was using the default theme under Kubuntu 5.10, and recently upgraded to 6.06, at which point I think the bug first appeared. The extra scroll buttons appear in other applications (notably Konqueror) but do not exhibit the same buggy behaviour, although I don't think they were there before the upgrade from 5.10 to 6.06. -- firefox scrollbar under kubuntu is broken https://launchpad.net/bugs/47760 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
