[Bug 157777] Re: gutsy amd64 freeze crash lockup

2008-06-22 Thread Robb
I'm not sure if I should post this info here as if I use kernel 2.6.24-19 now, 
but maybe it is usefull for older kernels too...
Or for you kernel developers  ;-)

Found some things worth testing on the Linux NVidea forum:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=46678
and
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=58498

I am testing right now Kernel command line: 
root=UUID=----x976d1bc ro nmi_watchdog=0 quiet splash 
idle=poll maxcpus=1
where I manually added "idle=poll maxcpus=1".

Last 2,5 hours no screenflashing and short freezes, so maybe worth testing for 
you too...
This is of course not a real solution, why using 1 CPU when I have 2!

After having lots of problems with short freezes (as discribed earlier)
I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) on a brand new harddisk in
my HP Pavilion dv6361eu. This did the trick for me, my problems are
gone. The Hardy cd installed driver NVidea version 169.12 just out of
the box.

Best of it is maybe that CPU scaling is installed right out the box too!

maybee you should give it  try too!

[Bug 307106] [NEW] only 1 out of 3 emailboxes visable, and home-box does not appear. Restarting or setting changes don't solve the problem

2008-12-11 Thread Robb
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunderbird

After startup of Thunderbird , the left pane is not visible where I
normally would find all of my 3 email boxes and the 'home box'. Now,
only 1 emailbox is visible, while the machine asks me for the passwords
of all 3 mailboxes (which is OK). After submitting these passwords
nothing changes however.

Thunderbird 2.0.0.18
Ubuntu 2.6.24-22-generic

There might be a correlation with a problems and programm use shorty before 
this failure (?)
Yesterday I encountered a problem in Audacity 1.3.4 beta: Audacity refused to 
cancel an exportation order (MP3 to MP3) that was pursuing. Nothing moved in 
the font. Next I couldn't redo or do anything, and the programm wouldn't quit. 
Everything was fixed and nothing would move. So I enforced a quit by unplugging 
the electricity to the computer. After a restart I removed Audacity from 
Ubuntu, and, after a new restart, downloaded and installed Audacity again. 
After starting it up, Audacity told me that continuing would cause a sever 
problem because the Temporary files were filled up (it could even lead to the 
crashing of my computer...). Next I couldn't stop Audacity and even the Ubuntu 
log off button disappeared when I wanted to stop the computer!
After several restarts and working with different programmas, to my surprise 
Audacity started up well again. 

This problem of Audacity not reacting to the cancel button (when
exporting) I experenced more often, but then I always could quit
Audacity afterwards. It didn't work out that way now. If relevant in any
way (?): Just before this new Audacity problem occurred I worked with
the Bit Torrent programm (for the first time) letting this run for long
hours to download some files.

[Bug 115969] Re: drag to queue causes crash

2007-05-21 Thread robb
Further research suggests that the problem is not caused by the act of
dragging to file to the play queue. Rather, after doing that, I then
attempted to move the newly added item, by dragging it upwards, to a
higher position in the queue. On releasing the mouse button, all the
existing queue items disappear and are replaced by the tracks from
yesterday. At this point rbox is in a fairly fragile state, any/some
further queue operations cause it to crash/exit...

Do you experience any reliability issues in the Ubuntu host when VmWare
tools is installed in the VPS?

I, and some others, have major stability issues, especially on opening
new applications or dialog boxes. I have NOT tested this with the latest
xorg updates released in the last week so maybe that part has been
fixed.

2008-04-15 Thread robb
Your logs may well show some xorg or general segfault errors in this
case. Makes the system kind of hard to use! An exit out of xorg is all
that is needed to recovery (a reboot does not seem to be required).

OK, at least we have more data. Not sure how that helps given I can't do
much more than test. At least the problem seems to be associated to the
vmware-tools within the client VPS.  For now I just don't use vmware-
tools.


I suspect an update from VmWare will be the final solution.

Removing vmware tools from the client system also has proven reliable
for me. I have had an occasional (every 3 days or so) full system lockup

[Bug 195982] Re: Shift key (and caps lock) stop working when using VMWare

2008-04-07 Thread robb
Just had the problem again and this time with the normal NV driver. I
never switched to full screen VMware (always ran windowed). So I have
reproduced the problem under similar circumstances others have reported.
I still feel there is some interaction with the xorg as the nvidia
driver consistently fails much sooner than the nv driver.

Once a failure occurs dialog boxes become highly unreliable and crashes
(outside of VMware) become common.

I am now going back to the nvidia driver and disabling the vmware tools
just to see if that might be an issue. Hopefully going back to nvidia
driver will accelerate any issues I have. Any suggestions for further
testing are encouraged.

Of course a VMware solution would be rather handy

Since my last post on 4/6 I have NOT had the issue occur. I removed the
vmware-tools from the virtual server and now use ctrl-alt to switch. I
am running in a window mode.

I agree that this appears to be a vmware issue, although it would be
nice to have xorg a tad more robust and not crashing dialog boxes on us
when the error occurs.

[Bug 117133] Re: FEISTY (final): remove usb disk : fail to eject

2007-08-23 Thread Robb
I can confirm this problem on complete up-to-date Ubuntu Feisty (gcc (GCC) 
4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4))
kernel ( 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Thu Jun 7 20:19:32 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux)
with portable USB 2 harddisk.

With a 2GB Sandisk USB stick and with USB 1.1 connected digital camera
confirmed too.

It doesn't matter if files are only red or read/write is used.
Haven't used terminal commands for manipulating data on disk, only Nautilus 
copy/paste actions as user and in a different Nautilus screen as root.
It doesn't matter if Nautilus is open or closed when unmounting.

Looks like USB software "finds" directly after unmount new USB hardware
and opens Nautilus to show the contents. It should only react if
hardware is plugged in and not when hardware was already plugged in.

Command 'sudo eject /media/disk' in terminal helps to unmount for me,
thanks!

[Bug 195982] [NEW] Shift key (and caps lock) stop working

2008-02-26 Thread robb
Public bug reported:

After a day or so of running the shift key mysteriously stops working as
does the cap lock. In other words I cannot enter shifted characters of
any kind. The keyboard is connected to a KVM and all other systems
respond to it properly. In additional any VMWare sessions I have open
respond correctly. So I have the condition where all non-vmware
applications in Ubuntu Hardy (all updates applied as of 2008-02-26 at
12:43 UTC) fail to recognize the shift key BUT applications within an
active (a paused/restarted session also works) VMWare sessions running
DO recognize the key.

When this condition occurs ALL applications (except those within a
VMWare session) are also unstable and will usually crash within a few
keystrokes.If I continue to operate in this mode. I cannot pinpoint
what, if any, application triggers this. It has always happened while
working within terminal/browser/vmware sessions and NOT when opening a
new application. It could be related to the KVM switch, but none of my
other systems (2 Mandriva, 1 Windows) are affected by this.

This bug has been present on my system for a number of days across daily
updates and reboots (if the update requested it) and I think since I
installed Hardy Alpha 1.

A work around: log off and back on. A reboot/restart does not appear to
be needed.

Error logs show some unusual activity.

--- MARK 
...
... kernel ... rtc lost 7 interrupts ...
--- MARK ---


Plus some segfaults indicating which application crashed as I tried to
type into it (mouse works fine).

System: HP dv9743cl (which otherwise works lovely)
Ubuntu: Hardy 8.04 (from lsb-release)

Some additional info.
Today it is CPU1 using 100% capacity when locking, CPU2 almost no activity. 
Till now always 1 Core that is 100% while locked.

Surfing launchpad I found a refference to bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109643

Difference is that I can work after some time of waiting (when the

I don't know if it has anything to do with it but I can't use

There was a suggestion to disable powernowd in the URL above. I'll test

[Bug 157777] Re: gutsy amd64 freeze crash lockup

2007-12-18 Thread Robb
I upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10 on laptop HP. Didn't have problems in 7.04
but have some now.

I have short lockups of the screen (x-server). I can move the mouse but
no reaction on mouseclicks. No response from hitting keyboard (caps
lock). The magic SysRq works, did not test 
because I only have SHORT lockups (I guess 10 seconds). I have seen them
most in Firefox where I do a lot of mousescrolling.

Addition: 
sometimes the mousecursor stops moving. 
Resizing of a window (systemmonitor) resulted in a lockup too. Sometimes...
Page down with keyboard in Firefox did not result in visible lockup till now... 

When screen locks up and I look at the Systemmonitor I always find cpu2
using 100% capacity (today), no memory increase. CPU goes back to normal
5% when lockup stops after some time.

Scrolling in a webpage in Firefox costs about 40% CPU (for each CPU's
simultanously). Sometimes I reach 60%, and then the screen seems to
freeze, CPU2 is 100% for some time and goes back again to 3% or so.

I use a HP Pavilion dv6361eu:
AMD Turion 64 X2 mobile TL-56
2 GB memory
NVIDIA GeForce Go 7200 256 MB (shared)
MCP51 Serial ATA Controller (Presario V6133CL)
Hitachi HTS 54161160 GB HDD
Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 (yes, M$ works together with Ubuntu   
 LOL)   USB
Typhoon 3 button mouse   USB

VideoDriver:
NVidea 100.14.19 ([EMAIL PROTECTED] TFT)

kernel parameters (kernel 2.6.22-14-generic):
acpi=force noapic apci=routeirq pnpbios=off pci=routeirq

Hint: stop scrolling, clicking or typing or whatever directly after a
lockup, more clicks cost more time to recover.

Hope this helps...

[Bug 115969] drag to queue causes crash

2007-05-21 Thread robb
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

When I dragged a mp3 file from the file browser to the rbox play queue area, 
suddenly the existing items in the queue were replaced by previously 
played/removed items from the previous day (really).
Attempting to remove one of these items (click right -> remove) crashed rbox.

704)

[Bug 195982] Re: Shift key (and caps lock) stop working when using VMWare

2008-04-04 Thread robb
I am slowly working out when this happens. So far I have the following
data points

1. I reinstalled Ubuntu, from scratch using the BETA download
2. I had NO problems with or without VmWare using the nv driver
3. I finally figured out how to enable Nvidia proprietary driver
4. Problems began anew within a day or so
5. Once the problem begins Ubuntu is HIGHLY unstable with crashes in all range 
of applications. The VMwre session is unaffected (which makes sense). Recover 
is log on/off.

I realize this is not very scientific and possibly of minimal value. I
have now disabled the proprietary Nvidia drivers (gads video is slow
now) to see if that helps. I run in VMware extensively as I am using it
for development, but I suspect VMware is a red herring. I think the
problem is with the proprietary Nvidia drivers on my HP Laptop (8600 m).

My hypothesis is that disabling Nvidia proprietary drivers (the reason I
went with Ubuntu in the first place) will resolve the keyboard and
stability issues.

PS: Disabling the Nvidia driver required an edit to my xorg, un-checking
the box in the Hardware Drivers was ineffective, even with a reboot.

2008-04-04 Thread robb
There may be more to this bug than just VMware or just Nvidia. I think
until it can be isolated it is best to leave this bug as is. I don't see
a reason to spawn another bug report based on a hypothesis used to
isolate this one. Once more data is accumulated a new more specific bug
can be filed if appropriate.

I find it curious you only encounter this bug when running VMware. Out
of curiosity are you using the VMware tools in the client? I am, and
maybe that interaction is contributing to this problem. And just to add
more confusion lets say it is an Xorg issue and some drivers are more
susceptible than others. Just guessing, but some ideas to track down. So
may variables that are hard to isolate since the bug does not, at least
for me, happen instantly.

1. Xorg?
1.a. Video Driver contributing?
2. VMware?
2.a. VMware tools in client?

[Bug 195982] Re: Shift key (and caps lock) stop working when using VMWare

2008-04-05 Thread robb
It's been 24 hours or so, longer than any prior good result with Nvidia
drivers, and my system is stable using the "nv" driver. VMware works
fine as do all other applications so far. Also resolved is the odd auto-
repeat for the keyboard. Using the 'Nvidia' driver I get weird keyboard
auto-repeat timeouts in VMware (long pauses to start and then VERY fast
repeat). With the "nv" driver the repeats work as expected.

Unfortunately the nv driver is rather slow, especially for scrolling,
so it is not a good long term solution for me.

I am still not sure if this is an issue with VMware,VMware tools or
NVidia drivers on my system. Any suggestions on what I can do to help
resolve this bug are appreciated.

2008-04-06 Thread robb
Yes, that mirrors my case. I have found that many dialog boxes will
cause the specific application to crash. Starting Thunderbird, entering
the package manager, etc. Existing applications work OK but without the
SHIFT/ALT/CTR. Opening a new window often causes an application crash.

Have you tried switching to the to basic NV video driver and see if this
is more stable?

2008-03-07 Thread robb
So far no crashes in the last 24 hours (running 2.6.24-11). Plus a
reboot issue (where the system locked with a LCD white screen - never
reported) has also been resolved. I will continue to monitor and on any
errors post the requested data. The segfaults have, usually, been
submitted as a different bug. I will also attach them here if I can.

As an aside, having worked with many distributions of 10 years, Ubuntu's
community, dedication and ability to just make things works is very
impressive. Nice work.

[Bug 470293] Re: gnome-volume-control crashed with SIGFPE in g_closure_invoke()

2009-11-09 Thread Robb
Thank you for taking a look at this "bug". 
I installed all necessary software, ready to do a backtrace.
But...
I'm more or less happy to tell you this crash happened only once till now. Just 
after the first restart after the update from 8.04 to 9.04.

Did some short testing with changing all buttons, volumes, sounds and so on. 
The output is this:
--
(gdb) run gnome-volume-control
Starting program: /usr/bin/gnome-volume-control gnome-volume-control
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
[New Thread 0xaf4dfb70 (LWP 24423)]
[Thread 0xaf4dfb70 (LWP 24423) exited]

Program exited normally.
(gdb) quit

Nothing went wrong...

Is there anything else I can do?

2017-11-11 Thread Robb
Like jojo said in #49 GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text solves the problem.

some more info:
This bug affects me after a fresh installation of lubuntu-17.10-desktop-i386 on 
a HP Mini 5101.

installation uses kernel 4.13.0-16-generic.


lspci:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GSE Express 
Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML 
Express Integrated Graphics Controller rev 0

Kernel 4.11.0-041100_4.11.0-041100.201705041534 works fine.

grub option GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep does not work, same problem comes
back

GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text solves the problem for me!

[Bug 886538] [NEW] Webcam Image Distortion

2011-11-05 Thread Robb
Public bug reported:

Since the install of 11.10, my ID 046d:08d7 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam
Communicate STX webcam does not provide a proper image. The image is
mostly black and white with graphic distortions. Programs such as
MPlayer and VLC utilize the webcam without a problem, but programs such
as Cheese that use gstreamer produce the distorted image.

Tried the lower resolution, but had not success. Colors and artifacts
are still present. Mplayer,  VLC , and v4lucp, which uses Mplayer to

Still true for Hardy, though now the default appears to be dark gray on
gray.

A workaround can be applied per Firefox profile. For a white description
and bright green URL (and white/white when hovered over), add the
following lines to
/home/{username}/.mozilla/{profile}/chrome/userChrome.css:

I see the same, but top shows the spike in Xorg, not in Firefox.

Disabling the screen (and therefore the shared and high) stylesheet

[Bug 207454] Re: Firefox is VERY slow rendering pragprog.com; becomes almost unusable

2008-08-26 Thread Robb Kidd
According to my browser history, I visited PragProg.com on 7-9-08 and I
recall *not* seeing this problem then.  Dave Thomas said in an email
yesterday that PragProg has made no code changes to the site since then.
Looking in my problem host's APT log, I see that the following suspect
packages (nvidia restricted and firefox) have changed since then:

7-2:  nvidia-glx-new 169.12+2.6.24.13-19.42 -> 
nvidia-glx-new_169.12+2.6.24.13-19.44
7-14: nvidia-glx-new 169.12+2.6.24.13-19.44 -> 169.12+2.6.24.13-19.45
7-25: xulrunner  1.9+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 -> 
1.9_1.9.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.2
7-25: firefox 3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 -> 
3.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.2
7-29: xulrunner 1.9.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.2 -> 
1.9.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.3
7-29: firefox  3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.2 -> 
3.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.3

Rolled back firefox and the problem still exists:
+ nvidia-glx-new 169.12+2.6.24.13-19.45
- firefox 3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1
- xulrunner 1.9+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1

Brought firefox up-to-date and rolled back nvidia-glx-new, problem still exists:
- nvidia-glx-new 169.12+2.6.24.13-19.42
+ firefox 3.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.3
+ xulrunner 1.9.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.3

So, color me confused.

[Bug 306567] [NEW] package snort 2.7.0-19ubuntu1 failed to be uninstalled: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 123

2008-12-09 Thread Robb Topolski
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: snort

package snort 2.7.0-19ubuntu1 failed to be uninstalled: subprocess pre-
removal script returned error exit status 123

This report was initiated by the crash-reporting process.  I am adding
the following information manually.

Used Synaptic Package Manager to install snort and, after dependencies,
5 packages were selected.  After install, I ran snort a couple of times
(it didn't seem to start, gave me the message "you've got to tell me to
do something" (both without sudo and with, and I don't know what I'm
doing so my command line arguments were probably incomplete).  After
looking over the options, I decided it probably wasn't what I was
looking for and I selected the 5 packages for removal (not Complete
Removal).

[Bug 306567] Re: package snort 2.7.0-19ubuntu1 failed to be uninstalled: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 123

2008-12-09 Thread Robb Topolski
I am attaching a second "Screenshot - Synaptic Package Manager console
window following error message" which is the scrolled-down view.  I also
notice that there seems to be some DpkgTerminalLog.txt info from a
previous session, but today's information also appears toward the bottom
of that log.

SEVERITY/PRIORITY SUGGESTION - Unless further investigations see deeper
impacts than are apparent to me, I suggest that this is not a critical-
priority bug as the exception appears to be detected, and when coupled
with Synaptic Package Manager, it is logically handled following rather
intuitive steps (simply try again).  However, it is also not "Low" as
the error messages are neither user-friendly ("Error 123") and appear
"scary" (big-red "Stop" indicator, Crash Detector appears in Gnome).

[Bug 274995] Re: MASTER storing ALSA mixer element values during shutdown hangs nondeterministically if non-loopback network interfaces are still up

2008-11-10 Thread Robb Topolski
Just a couple of notes on this.

1.  For those with working ALSA sounds, but ALSA hangs on shutdowns
lasting about 2.5 minutes, I believe our bug fix is mentioned
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.27.5 --
released November 7th. (I don't know how soon we will see it through
normal channels -- can anyone advise?)

 commit a858c06703057cfdd142184e536c3ba36c45000e
 Author: Takashi Iwai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
 Date:   Thu Oct 30 19:10:15 2008 +

ALSA: hda - Add reboot notifier

commit 0cbf00980f0fc4cc064a15ab3dfce19b5fae9130 upstream

The current snd-hda-intel driver seems blocking the power-off on some
devices like eeepc.  Although this is likely a BIOS problem, we can add
a workaround by disabling IRQ lines before power-off operation.
This patch adds the reboot notifier to achieve it.

The detailed problem description is found in bug#11889:
http://bugme.linux-foundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11889

Tested-by: Luiz Fernando N. Capitulino <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

2.  It's possible that this bug report is a duplicate of bug#126140.
I'm not sure. That would make this a very old bug.

That reporter noted that doing an rmmod of snd_hda_intel prior to
shutdown avoided the hang. A similar solution posted at
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7195#c3 (status NEW for over
2 years) describes putting similar entries in a shutdown script. Another
commenter at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-
source-2.6.22/+bug/126140/comments/38 says that using aggressive power
saving mentioned
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_enable_AC97_power_saving#HDA_audio_subsystem
softens the problem.

More recently, many are reporting, especially on ubuntuforum, that doing
an ifdown on their active network avoids this ALSA hang on shutdown --
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-
utils/+bug/274995/comments/25 mentions it as well.

That the workarounds are different makes me wonder whether these
actually are duplicates.

Good luck, all!

Jakub,

What was the date/time when the system locked up?  You'll want to check
your logs matching up those times to help figure out why the kernel
panicked.

As to the printout you provided, those look like routine firewall logs.
To get help with turning that off, see

I concur that this is not a duplicate, FWIW.

My read of this (288863) bug is that the failure mode is that the
computer fails to shut down, the last thing displayed is "acpid
exiting."

The "hang" in 274995 isn't a hang but a long delay (about 2.5 minutes).
The hang in the reports involving "acpid exiting" seems endless.

This was tipped by aschuring in bug 295136 with Flagman's explanation --
here's another workaround:

STEP A.  sudo gedit /etc/hosts

STEP B.  Change the first line in the IPv6 section

from

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback

to

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback

Wallah!  No more hang at shutdown or reboot or when otherwise using
amixer when no user is logged in.

[Bug 274995] Re: MASTER storing ALSA mixer element values during shutdown hangs nondeterministically if non-loopback network interfaces are still up

2008-11-20 Thread Robb Topolski
Even though they have a lot in common, I'm convinced these issues have
two different root causes, but I'm also hopeful that the change for bug
126140 will also avoid ours (bug 274995).

Bug 126140 is about certain PCs that remain powered up at the end of
their shutdown sequence.  Anyone remember the Windows "It is now safe to
turn off your computer" screen?  That's essentially the behavior of bug
126140, minus the cheery-souding Microsoft comforting.

Both that problem and ours 
 ... can be avoided by rmmod -f snd_hda_intel (the sound driver)
 ... generally involved Alsa
 ... interrupted normal shutdown

But 
 ... 274995 is not actually a hang  ... 126140 actually is a hang
 ... 274995 has a networking workaround ... 126140 seems to have a 
power-management workaround

The "fix" for bug 126140 isn't r-e-a-l-l-y a fix because it doesn't
address the root cause (which certainly could be a BIOS oddness), but it
does avoid it.  Before the hang, the code will now respond to a system
reboot signal by releasing the interrupts.  It was tested against the
problem in 126140.  If the net effect of releasing the interrupts is the
same as "rmmod -f snd_hda_intel" then it should also avoid our problem
as well.   We should test it.   If it does, we should also make sure
that nothing else broke in the process -- for example, does the shutdown
in /etc/init.d/alsa-tools still save and zero mixer settings like it was
written to do?

My suggestion is that we don't call these duplicate bugs until such
testing is complete, even though we are hopeful that this one change
avoids both issues.

[Bug 274995] Re: MASTER storing ALSA mixer element values during shutdown hangs nondeterministically if non-loopback network interfaces are still up

2008-11-22 Thread Robb Topolski
Thanks for agreeing with me, aschuring. :-)  However, the change for
126140 certainly won't benefit you so my previous advice of "wait and
hope" no longer makes sense for some.

This is a cascade of bugs and behaviors.

In bug 295136, FlagMan said, "If pulseaudio is the default sound sink
and you are NOT logged into X, amixer will search the pulseaudio server
but there is none running on the local machine. Therefore, the network
will be searched for a pulseaudio server. Most likely there is none on
the local network either, and network timeouts are set to high values,
so this may take some time and is the symptom we are seeing."

MY THEORY (and I'm not too strong on my capture of linux sound, so
beware):

I think the root cause is in that first sentence -- the user is no
longer logged into X, the pulseaudio daemon has been terminated when the
user session ended, but pulseaudio is still sought by alsa tools.  So
amixer, searches fruitlessly for the daemon and it has to wait for a
network timeout every time its called, and it is called numerous times
in /etc/init.d/alsa-tools as the script zeros and mutes channels.
(After the user logs out of gnome, I have also noticed a delay between
the time that "gdm" appears ready for input and
/usr/share/sounds/question.wav plays, which is played by gdmplay which
is simply a script that calls aplay, another alsa tool trying to do
something after pulseaudio has ended.)

Finally, gdm.conf has this text,

---Quote---
# Program used to play sounds.  Should not require any 'daemon' or anything
# like that as it will be run when no one is logged in yet.
SoundProgram=/usr/lib/gdmplay"
---EndQuote---

This points the finger at alsa-tools OR, and I think this more likely,
the ubuntu user-session implementation of pulseaudio, and here's where
my lack of knowledge about these ends my usefulness -- I don't know the
implications of default sinks and whether the closing gnome session can
and ought to switch audio defaults back and forth.  It should be noted
that pulse's xsmp module is installed to load upon login, and never
does.  That might have everything to do with this.

It is probably not a bug that the alsa tools looks for pulseaudio using
network calls.  This is not only very common, it works fine when the
network isn't searching DNS for the localhost hostname.  Even though
many workarounds involve killing the network, or nfs, or uninstalling
pulseaudio -- these are avoiding the symptom.  There might be a bug
related to whether alsa tools seeks the network correctly, and how to do
that in IPv4/IPv6 LAN has been the topic of much disagreement (see
below).

SECONDARY ISSUES:

It was found that listing localhost to :::1 in the IPv6 section of
/etc/hosts avoided the long delay mentioned in this report.

Some distributions, including Debian, include (or have included) that
entry in /etc/hosts by default while others have not (including Ubuntu,
apparently, starting with Hardy (bug 211537).  However, and this is
important no matter which way this goes, several VERY POPULAR network
applications that have bug reports indicating that they fail or
misbehave when localhost is listed twice in /etc/hosts (these reports
are older and are probably fixed).  How to handle localhost in lookups
as everyone transitions to IPv6 has been the source of questions
http://lists.debian.org/debian-ipv6/2008/07/msg0.html and heated
(and infamous) discussions
http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4980 and
contradiction http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=427067
(seems to indicate that localhost ought to be listed in the IPv6
section, even though it means that localhost is listed twice). I have
researched this question for days and can't find which answer is right.
However, as a result of this bug, and as observed by aschuring, my
system ends up sending  DNS lookups for localhost to the WAN.

However, even though localhost lookups for IPv6 might be a bug, fixing
it only hides the fact that pulseaudio is not running when the alsa
tools need to find it (the root cause bug).  It seems like when the user
logs out and the pulseaudio daemon is not running, alsa tools should
stop trying to find it.

This bug 288863 as originally reported is probably a duplicate of bug

(The hang in 274995 is usually 2-3 minutes).

@Brion,Kill0u since the original of this bug is a duplicate, I'm
thinking your comments (involving the never-ending hang at acpid) is
different.  You should search for or open a specific report.  You may
want to consider Bug 126140, which is a failure to shut-down, (but it is

I am going to try and change the "invalid" status for pulseaudio and
alsa-tools.

alsa-tools, pulseaudio -- please re-evaluate.  The primary issue seems
to be that the alsa-tools are trying to find a pulseaudio daemon that is
no longer running after the user has chosen to shutdown or reboot.  It
seems to me that amixer or aplay ought not try to access a pulseaudio
process that doesn't exist.

(The hang which is avoided by shutting down the network helps illuminate
the issue, but it isn't the cause.)

2008-11-23 Thread Robb Topolski
@Dove,

It's probable that everyone who uses pulseaudio as installed by Intrepid
will experience this bug.  The question is whether or not they'll
experience the long hang that helps us notice it -- and that is
determined by the networking configuration.

It appears to me that users who once had an IPV4-only system and
upgraded will avoid the wait for timeout caused by the bug (the alsa-
tools still look for the pulseaudio server, but fails to find it much
faster).  This is because the upgrade script notices the ipv6 section is
missing in /etc/hosts and installs one including the "localhost" name in
the ::1 line.

Users who manually add the "localhost" hostname to the ::1 line in
/etc/hosts also avoid this wait.  My guess is that users who disable
IPV6 after installing will also avoid this wait for timeout.

2008-11-24 Thread Robb Topolski
Hi Dov, I'm glad you posted.  It seems I've made the bug Gods angry --
it won't show itself on my system tonight, and I can't figure out why.
I hate when that happens.

 > I tried killing pulseaudio while logged in to an X session, and it
still hung while shutting down.

Right.

Killing pulseaudio while logged in should show the same problem when the
gnome user hits reboot or shutdown.  The pulseaudio daemon gets killed
then the alsa utility tries to contact it.  That is the crux of the
issue -- should alsa be trying to contact the pulseaudio server after
its killed? Or, should something in the sound configuration revert
before pulseaudio gets killed so that the alsa tools don't try to
contact the pulseaudio server? I don't understand the architecture well
enough to know for certain.

The freeze (~ 15 seconds each for 7-10 times that amixer is called to
zero and mute the mixer in /etc/init.d/alsa-tools stop) occurs as amixer
waits for a DNS query to time out.  If the pulseaudio server is alive,
the DNS query doesn't happen.  If the pulseaudio server is unexpectedly
gone, then amixer searches localhost for it.  Since it's not found on
ipv4 and ipv6 doesn't have localhost in /etc/hosts, the  query goes
to the WAN and things pause for 15 seconds while amixer waits for a
reply.

[Bug 274995] Re: MASTER storing ALSA mixer element values during shutdown hangs nondeterministically if non-loopback network interfaces are still up

2008-11-24 Thread Robb Topolski
I'll buy the beer if this is a BIOS bug.

Bug 295136 (aschuring) is the most succinct test case I've seen on this.
That bug is a duplicate but shows what is going on.  It should not be
ignored.

Key observations:

---Quote---
After dist-upgrading to intrepid, Ubuntu appears to hang when shutting down. I 
have traced this down to the ALSA shutdown script taking more than a minute (!) 
to save sound card state. More specifically:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ time amixer -c0 -q set Mic 0% mute

real 0m8.061s
user 0m0.003s
sys 0m0.012s

This is reproducable only in single-user mode. When I run the amixer
command when logged in into X (I can even run the command from a
console, as long as X is running), the same command takes only a few
milliseconds as it should. I will attach an strace log from above call.
Of interest is the following line:

 4.013297 ioctl(5, FIONREAD, [37]) = 0

which occurs twice in the script. It seems to be expecting data from a network 
socket, but I can't figure out why.
---endQuote---
 


- commenting out everything in /usr/share/alsa/pulse.conf:
   amixer responds fast

(The description of this file is, "PulseAudio alsa plugin configuration
file to set the pulseaudio plugin as default output for applications
using alsa when pulseaudio is running." However, pulseaudio is not
running, wasn't running, so why does Aschuring's commenting out of lines
change anything?  /usr/share/alsa/pulse.conf calls its config from
/usr/share/alsa/pulse-alsa.conf which appears to set pulse as the
default sound device.  Aschuring's tests at the single-user root prompt
create a similar situation to what all these users are reporting where
when the user session is ended, X and pulse are no longer running, and
the alsa configuration is to use pulse.)

- removing dns in /etc/nsswitch.conf or adding localhost to ipv6 ::1 in 
/etc/hosts
  amixer responds fast

(This addresses the networking delay, but not whether alsa should be
looking for pulse at all when the server is not running. Removing dns
from nsswitch.conf is not desirable.)

It's a shame that bug 295136 isn't the primary bug, because the best
information is there.  I don't know if launchpad etiquette allows that
to happen -- but developers investigating this bug ought to be paying
attention.

[Bug 274995] Re: MASTER storing ALSA mixer element values during shutdown hangs nondeterministically if non-loopback network interfaces are still up

2008-11-24 Thread Robb Topolski
@Luke,

My quick test --

There was the same hang with your new file as written (without the
variable being exported).

THERE WAS NO HANG with

export PULSE_INTERNAL=0

but there was a hang if the variable was not exported.

-- Robb

PS:  (reproducing tip for developers and experienced users -- do not try
this if you don't understand it -- If your nameserver handles 
queries correctly, then you may not see the delay users are seeing that
is caused by the failed DNS query for localhost.  Edit /etc/resolv.conf
and change your working nameserver line to one with an unoccupied IP
before shutting down and rebooting, for example 192.168.0.177, and the
DNS query being generated will go to a address that will timeout instead
of to your nameserver.  I just figured this out tonight and perhaps that
is why this bug is so hit and miss -- some users have nameservers that
are answering NXDOMAIN (and thus no delay) and some users have
nameservers that aren't answering the query.)

@Daniel Chen,

Hi Daniel, you're over my head a little bit. Can you tell me in easier
terms what you'd like me to try and I'll be happy to try it.

@Any,

What does the PULSE_INTERNAL variable do?  Was that a potential fix or
just a diagnostic test?

[Bug 294160] Re: ALSA hangs on shutdown - Intrepid Ibex on Dell Inspiron 1525

2008-11-25 Thread Robb Topolski
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 274995 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274995

@bugmenot,

I suggest a new bug report.

Bug 274995 is narrowing to an issue commonly seen during shutdown where
2-3 minute delays also sometimes occur.  The crackling quality is
usually not a symptom.  Any fix for 274995 is unlikely to fix the
crackling issue.  Also, 274995 is a huge mess and introducing one more
side issue to it would likely cause more harm than good.

You can certainly mention in a new bug report that you also suffered
from the effects of 274995, but if you do, I suggest that you also
mention that it is a different issue near resolution and the crackling
sound is not fixed by it.

Thanks!

Robb Topolski

[Bug 302237] [NEW] undocumented logaudit facility, how to log unknown facilities

2008-11-25 Thread Robb Topolski
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: sysklogd

Ubuntu 8.10 sysklogd 1.5-2ubuntu6

>From syslog.conf MAN page
 Quote 
   The facility is one of the following keywords:  auth,  authpriv,  cron,
   daemon, ftp, kern, lpr, mail, mark, news, security (same as auth), sys‐
   log, user, uucp and local0 through local7.  
 endQuote 

My silly D-Link DIR-655 router puts its syslog on the Log Audit facility
13 (which is 104 in the 32-bit PRI).  It took me quite a bit of reverse
engineering to figure that out.  I'll make the following proposal based
on that finding, but it would be even better if someone could find a
copy of syslog.h (mentioned in the MAN page) and extract all of the
supported facility names.  (I did review the source and couldn't find it
myself, it's probably in some global header or config file for making
inet-tools.)

 Proposed Change 
   The facility is one of the following keywords:  auth,  authpriv,  cron,
   daemon, ftp, kern, logaudit, lpr, mail, mark, news, security (same as 
auth), sys‐
   log, user, uucp and local0 through local7.  
 end 

I also found something else in the meantime, close and related and easy
to fix...

 Quote 
   ... Both parts are case insensitive and can
   also be specified as decimal numbers corresponding to  the  definitions
   in  .
 endQuote 

This is probably incorrect, as I was able to find an old Berkeley syslog.h and 
it turns
out that you have to multiply the decimal number by 8.  So logaudit (13) 
becomes 104 and
both logaudit.info and 104.info works correctly in syslog.conf while 13.info 
does not. 

Here is my suggestion

 Quote 
   ... Both parts are case insensitive and can
   also be specified as decimal numbers corresponding to the numerical code 
being
   used in the PRI part of the RFC 3164 message from the logging device.   
(Note:  
   the facility's numerical code is multiplied by 8 before being used in 
the PRI part,
   and syslog.conf requires this too. For example, network news facilities 
have a facility
   identifier of 7, therefore news.local and 56.local are equivalent in 
syslog.conf.) 
 endQuote 

Thanks

Robb Topolski

[Bug 274995] Re: MASTER storing ALSA mixer element values during shutdown hangs nondeterministically if non-loopback network interfaces are still up

2008-11-15 Thread Robb Topolski
Okay, that helps explain why the rc.0 one alone did nothing for me --
I'm usually rebooting!  ;-/

So the workaround is to do both --
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/NetworkManager /etc/rc0.d/K40NetworkManager
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/NetworkManager /etc/rc6.d/K40NetworkManager

Great job! That's a temporary work-around, and work-arounds are very
good -- but when a request to test a patch or a fix comes out, you'll
want to return to the previous state and delete those symlinks so you
can cleanly test.

sudo rm /etc/init.d/NetworkManager /etc/rc0.d/K40NetworkManager
sudo rm /etc/init.d/NetworkManager /etc/rc6.d/K40NetworkManager

For those who'd rather not edit, another work-around is to disconnect
network cables, disable networking in nm-applet, or hit the Wi-Fi kill
switch either before or during shutdown.  If done before choosing shut-
down or reboot, the hang is avoided.  If done during the hang, then the
remaining shutdown hang at the alsa step is shortened from over 2
minutes to under 15 seconds.

@Daniel T. Chen -- are you still asking for help or information on this?

Looks like the -9 security update fixed a number of concerning-looking

I tried reapplying the patch from comment 52 into the (-9 directories

(Fortunately that process left me with .ko~ backup files I could
restore. Nice!)

Okay, (whew!)

2. when can I expect to trust system updates again?

[Bug 301430] Re: ipv6 /etc/hosts missing localhost hostname

2008-11-29 Thread Robb Topolski
Hi Steve,

I'm glad you identified the right package.  It was difficult for me to
figure out what actually initially creates /etc/hosts!

 > What was in your /etc/hosts, if not this?

Exactly what you posted, except for the localhost entry in the ::1 line.
This condition is common across two fresh installs here at home.

 
127.0.0.1   localhost
127.0.1.1   topol015

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
 

Also, hopefully helpful ...

 - My installs were from the Live CD Gnome desktop Live User environment (I did 
not install from the CD without booting up the Gnome session first).  
 - My installs were on a SOHO LAN with an IPv4 router that was also the DNS 
server and was not responding to IPv6 DNS queries (in case netcfg or some other 
tool makes choices based on IPv6 reachability) 

However,
 - Dovel mentioned in 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-utils/+bug/274995/comments/230 
that neither his upgraded installation contained the correct /etc/hosts line, 
nor did his installation direct from CD.  (His upgraded installation may have 
had a different audio configuration or some other factor, it did not experience 
the delay in 274995.)

(If I understand it correctly,) The bug in 274995  (a condition with a
delay noticed by a large number of users) involves attempts to reach a
user-session Pulseaudio daemon during /etc/init.d/alsa-tools stop.  Of
course, the daemon had shut down with the end of the user session, but
the alsa-tools seemed oblivious to that and still treated them as part
of the default audio system. To experience the delay, there had to be no
IPv6 localhost in /etc/hosts AND ALSO no timely response to the
resulting  DNS queries for localhost.  This is an indicator that the
number of users without localhost for ipv6 in /etc/hosts may be quite
high.

[Bug 274995] Re: MASTER storing ALSA mixer element values during shutdown hangs nondeterministically due to internal alsa-plugins pulse check

2008-11-29 Thread Robb Topolski
All,

If you are or were experiencing this delay, there is a related bug
report -- bug 301430 -- concerning the omission of localhost in the ipv6
part of /etc/hosts.  While bug 274995 is fixed by the update to alsa-
tools, the delay uncovered by bug 274995 was only experienced by those
of us who had bug 301430 as well.  Bug 301430 is marked as "incomplete"
and will expire unfixed without confirmation that it affects others.  I
suspect that everyone who noticed a delay during shutdown owing to
274995 also has an IPv6 misconfiguration in the /etc/hosts file, even if
they're not using IPv6 and even if the delay is now fixed.  Please help
out, check, and advise.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO:

1.  Even if the latest alsa-tools update fixed your problem, please
check your /etc/hosts and verify whether or not it was set up correctly.

A CORRECTLY configured file originally had (or has) this line (the 
whitespace-separated word localhost is included among the hostnames in the ipv6 
section of /etc/hosts):
 ::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback

An INCORRECTLY configured file had or has this line (the whitespace-separated 
word localhost is NOT included among the hostnames): 
 ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback

2.  If your system was or is INCORRECTLY configured, please visit bug
301430 and indicate so via a comment.  The /etc/hosts file is created as
part of the network installation and configuration.  It would be
interesting to know whether your install was an upgrade or fresh
install.  Look for any other developer questions you might be able to
answer or add your other relevant insights or observations.  Please
consider subscribing to the bug by clicking "E-mail me about changes to
this bug report) and indicating that the bug affects you (see the links
toward the top of the report).

Thanks for your help and congrats on getting bug 274995 fixed!

2008-11-29 Thread Robb Topolski
Hi Laurent,

That's odd that the 274995 proposed fix doesn't solve the issue. Do you
have more than 2 machines?

Did you follow the steps mentioned in
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed to upgrade?  Did alsa-
utils update to 1.0.17-0ubuntu3 (the proposed fix) or are you using
alsa-utils 1.0.17-0ubuntu2 (the previous version)?  In /etc/init.d/alsa-
utils, do you find the following line?:

export PULSE_INTERNAL=0

(Adding localhost to the ipv6 line doesn't actually fix the alsa-utils
problem, it just masks it.  The omission mentioned in bug 301430 along
with the bug in 274995 causes enough delay to uncover the alsa-utils
issue.)

2008-11-04 Thread Robb Topolski
Thank you Antonio.   That helps assure me that the results I'm seeing
apply to the patch.  As also reported above, I now can't shutdown
cleanly without hitting the wifi switch.  I'm not certain whether this
is a new behavior or heightened awareness of an existing issue.

for clarity's sake,

11 hours ago, I removed...
linux-backports-modules-intrepid
linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic
linux-backports-modules-2.6.27-7-generic
...and followed that with a reboot. Then I patched and rebooted again.  Then I 
rebooted several times and haven't seen the "scheduling" bug.  

Currently synaptic shows no backports packages installed.

2008-11-04 Thread Robb Topolski
Tom,

I got the kern.log entry mentioned at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/linux/+bug/276990/comments/92
which is the patched (comment 85) behavior of that bug. The news is that
I didn't use that patch, I used the patch from comment 52 in this bug.

The patch at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/286285/comments/52
has eased both problems, the scheduling report churning into kern.log
and turns the wrong command queue hang into a log event.

The entry that I received is

Hi Rocko,

The problem you are describing is
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/linux/+bug/276990 and
a patch was available for that problem.

But it gets better.

The patch at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/286285/comments/52
includes the patch from bug#276990 and so it eases both problems.

My suggestion today is to use the patch mentioned
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/linux/+bug/276990 as
testers who have tried today's "intrepid-proposed" fixed report that it
is not helping.

Robb

Okay, I think I'm reading that the 845G is blacklisted from compiz, thus
dodging the bug(s) causing the hang.  The status here, however, is "Fix
Released."  Is that right?  Seems there is still an actual bug out there
to be hunted.

Dylan, you've most probably got the correct bug report.

There is an update forthcoming in the "proposed" repository, but so far

linux-image-2.6.27-8-generic is looking good.

 > Beware that this doesn't yet have linux-restricted-modules or

Worth repeating.

I tried to apply only linux-image-2.6.27-8-generic and Synaptic let me
do so without complaint.  I booted into a low-res gdm. Then I went to
apply all the other proposed and still ended up with graphics-related
error messages and a low-res gnome. Ultimately I went back to 2.6.27-7
to System-Administration-Hardware and turned off the Restricted Nvidia
driver, I then uninstalled and reinstalled linux-image-2.6.27-8-generic
which fixed whatever dependencies I broke.

Now that I'm up, linux-image-2.6.27-8-generic is looking good.
