[Bug 368670] Re: Konsole curs_set() error

2009-06-28 Thread Tom Womack
The curses.curs_set() command just changes the visibility of the cursor,
so it looks as if whatever Konsole tells curses about its capabilities
includes a claim that it can't change the visibility of the cursor.

Removing the line curses.curs_set(0) should remove the problem.

Same problem with running iotop from an SSH session from OS X Terminal

[Bug 250613] [NEW] [hardy] Failure to initialise video

2008-07-21 Thread Tom Womack
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: live-installer

I'm trying to install hardy on an Intel P35 board with 8G memory and an
Nvidia 7300 video card.

I boot from the live CD, and after a few minutes the computer crashes
with a screen full of pink and yellow stripes.

This seems to happen only if I have the VGA and DVI outputs from the
computer both connected to my Dell 2001FP monitor; unplugging the VGA
cable lets me get to the install screen.

[Bug 250616] [NEW] [hardy] No detection of md volumes

2008-07-21 Thread Tom Womack
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: live-installer

I have three md volumes spread over six partitions on four hard discs.

When I boot from the 8.04 CD and select 'install ubuntu', the
partitioner doesn't do any detection of them, and gives me only the
block devices to choose from.  It also detects the second half of the
RAID0 partition as 'unknown volume'.

[Bug 349446] [NEW] eth0 has disappeared on my Gigabyte EX58-DS4 motherboard

2009-03-27 Thread Tom Womack
Public bug reported:

Yesterday morning, the computer was working well, and happily accessing
files over NFS.

I turned off this computer; when I turned it back on, it wasn't visible
on the network.

There is no sign of ethernet in either lspci output or dmesg (no useful
matches for grepping 'eth'), whether I use the installed ubuntu 8.10 or
boot from the 8.10 installer DVD.  I have checked that ethernet is
enabled in the BIOS, though there is no sign of it in the list of PCI
devices that the BIOS produces on startup.  The board apparently has a
Realtek 8111D chip to provide ethernet; 'modprobe r8169' produces no
visible output and does not make the ethernet work again.

One google suggested enabling the LAN boot ROM, but that makes no
difference.

This is feeling like a hardware problem to me, but I'm wondering if
anyone else has seen it.

[Bug 105317] Firewire drive not detected

2007-04-10 Thread Tom Womack
Public bug reported:

I plug in a firewire drive (a Western Digital MyBook Premium); nothing
happens.

If I have udevmonitor running, no messages appear, whilst I get a screed
of messages if I plug or unplug my USB card reader.

The drive doesn't seem to be physically dead (it makes a happy whirring
noise and the blue light at the front comes on), but the machine's
behaving as if I don't have firewire at all.

This is an Intel DG965 board.

lspci says  06:03.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB43AB22/A

This seems to be a problem that is caused by some classes of package
upgrade (would have to look at the list of recently-upgraded packages,
which I don't know how to obtain) and goes away when you reboot.

Obviously it would be nicer if it didn't; slight brokenness disappearing
on reboot is inelegant.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43752

I have the stall on 'starting sendmail' too; there's a message about
being unable to create a temporary file for a here document on a read-

I suspect some package installs sendmail, rather than 'some MTA', and
the sendmail package isn't well-fitted to the ubuntu boot sequence.

1 3 4
as you would expect

echo -e "1 3 4\n1 2 3\n1 2 4\n" | sort -nu

prints only '1 3 4' - it's doing the uniqifying on only the first field.

xman appears to have been horribly miscompiled; 'strace xman' includes
many lines of the form

open("${prefix}/share/man/man1", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY) = -1

and only works at all if I do (the truly hideous command)

ln -s "/usr" "\${prefix}"

My shell is /bin/bash, if that's relevant and the problem is to do with
shell variable expansion.

[Bug 88460] No check that there's a bootable partition

2007-02-27 Thread Tom Womack
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: partman-base

Scenario: installing 6.10 from a USB stick prepared according to the
instructions in http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~twomack/DG965WH.txt

I was indecisive, so changed my mind while doing manual partitioning
about whether / should be on RAID or not; as a result, I ended up in a
situation where no partitions were bootable when the installer rebooted
the computer.

Fixing this involved running the installer up to the partitioning stage,
setting sda1 as bootable and as to be mounted as /, applying the
repartitioning then rebooting.

[Bug 88656] type-ahead prediction broken at least in alt-f2 box

2007-02-28 Thread Tom Womack
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubuntu-desktop

I think this appeared after I downloaded upgrades to 6.06 on Monday.

Previously, if I press alt-f2 to get the 'Run Application' box and type
'gnumeric', 'gnumeric' appeared in the box; the 'meric' part had
appeared, highlighted, as soon as I pressed the m.

Now, if I press alt-f2 and type 'gnumeric', 'gnumeric' appears in the
box *unhighlighted* as soon as I pressed the m; so if I type 'gnumeric'
without looking, 'gnumericeric' appears in the box; unsurprisingly, this
executable does not exist.

[Bug 88665] Middle-mouse-button paste into emacs stopped working

2007-02-28 Thread Tom Womack
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

After upgrading 6.06 on 26 February, selecting text in gnome-terminal no
longer puts it into the place which emacs uses to find what should be
pasted on a middle-button press.

If I select text in emacs, go to a gnome-terminal window, and press
middle-button, the text is inserted into the g-t.  But if I select text
in gnome-terminal and press middle-button, that text is not inserted
into the g-t.

This makes it hard to get text *from* program output in a g-t window
*to* emacs, which is annoying since that's often what I want to do to
report on a run.

[Bug 99038] Re: Redraw trouble

2007-03-31 Thread Tom Womack
I'm using Feisty, and the problem's still there in updates as of the
evening of 30th March.

If it's an X-server issue then it might be relevant that I'm using Intel
G965 graphics.

I wonder whether it's a termcap issue; is gnome-terminal supposed to emulate 
TERM=xterm?  I'm using, as you see from the screencap, whatever the default 
font in Feisty's gnome-terminal is; the server which I'm connected to when I 
have this trouble is a debian box with /etc/termcap 
#   Version 10.2.7
#   $Date: 1999/03/10 15:53:04 $

[I don't know the command to figure out which package-name and version
that /etc/termcap came from; /etc/debian-version is 3.1 if that helps]

[Bug 99720] PTStitcher dies with illegal-instruction

2007-04-01 Thread Tom Womack
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: hugin

When I select PTStitcher as the stitching mechanism in hugin, it
crashes.

Running hugin under GDB gives that the error is 'illegal instruction' at
0x4c06b7; a disassembly of that region says that 4c06b7 is a 'ud2a'
instruction, which is explicitly undefined, so this is to some extent a
deliberate bug.

There are no debugging symbols in feisty's hugin; the 'bt' output is
unenlighteningly general:

[Bug 23768] Re: /usr/bin/cpufreq-selector should have different access permissions

2007-03-28 Thread Tom Womack
The situation in which I want to change the frequency arises when I'm
running one compute-intensive background job per CPU at 'nice 5' so that
I get decent performance in interactive jobs as well; it seems that the
default governor regards the situation in which niced jobs are using
100% of the CPU as one in which it can happily set the speed down to
1GHz, which is not at all what I want.  Possibly fixing that is more
like the Right Answer.

BernardB has I think got it right.

[Bug 427850] [NEW] 'tex' recommends texlive-base-bin not texlive-base

2009-09-11 Thread Tom Womack
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: command-not-found

If I try to run 'tex' on an ubuntu-8.04 machine with no tex installed,
command-not-found suggests

apt-get install texlive-base-bin

which is not enough to get a working tex - you get a weird error message
about tex.fmt not found.

It should I think suggest texlive-base.

[Bug 261499] Re: gnome terminal crashes when changing profile

2009-09-24 Thread Tom Womack
This is a particularly frustrating bug to replicate, since it kills all
your gnome-terminal windows over all your desktops and completely
derails your train of thought; I've had it happen in ubuntu-8.04 64-bit
both when changing the size of the scrollback buffer (to something
enormous; I prefer 8MB of scrollback in each tab) and when setting
scroll-on-keystroke.

Having two windows, one with two tabs, and while true; do ls -l /tmp;
done in all three tabs made this problem appear even when I just changed
the terminal bell setting!

[Bug 458411] [NEW] java makes silly recommendations

2009-10-22 Thread Tom Womack
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: command-not-found

When I type 'java' with java not installed, I get a list of recommended
packages

The program 'java' can be found in the following packages:
 * gij-4.3
 * java-gcj-compat-headless
 * openjdk-6-jre-headless
 * cacao
 * gij-4.2
 * jamvm
 * kaffe

which does not include sun-java6-jre.  I would expect sun-java6-jre to
be on the list, and am not quite sure why it's not the only
recommendation.

2009-11-15 Thread Tom Womack
Public bug reported:

(Ubuntu 9.04; gedit 2.26.1-0ubuntu1 )

If I turn the mouse wheel while pointing to the 'Ln 2396, Col 59' region
at the bottom of a gedit window, the window manager switches to a
different pane.

I don't think this behaviour is sane.

[Bug 1931802] Re: killall only matching first 15 characters of process name

2021-06-14 Thread Tom Womack
This is not the behaviour I see on other versions of ubuntu, so it
changed for the worse between 18.04 and 20.04; it seems quite a
fundamental default to have changed, and in very much the wrong
direction - that 'within the first 15 characters' seems absolutely
archaic.

I notice that /proc/$PID/comm _is_ truncated to 15 characters on both my
18.04 and 20.04 machines, but killall works correctly in 18.04.

That pidof and killall behave differently is at best irritating.

[Bug 1797209] Re: do-release-upgrade should block release upgrades in some circumstances

2018-12-15 Thread Tom Womack
I am not happy with the state of this in 16.04: I do 'sudo do-release-
upgrade' in the anticipation of getting 18.04.1, and I get instead

'Checking for a new Ubuntu release
Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.'

even if I have just run sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade.

I am *not* in the habit of rebooting my machine after updates:

oak@oak:~$ uptime
 13:01:09 up 260 days, 18:06, 12 users,  load average: 20.53, 20.91, 21.40

but the message does *not* suggest that the reason it won't let me do-
release-upgrade is that there is a reboot pending.

Indeed, even after a reboot and sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get
upgrade I get the same message.

oak@oak:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release

[Bug 1781772] [NEW] apt-get update runs apt-check at nice 19

2018-07-15 Thread Tom Womack
Public bug reported:

When I try to install a new package on one of my compute nodes which are
running one nice-0 task per hyperthread, there is an extremely long
delay at the end of installation as apt-check is running at nice 19 and
getting almost no cycles.  Renicing it to -5 resolves the problem at
once.

It is not reasonable to make a human who you know to be sitting at the
console wait for a task running at nice 19 on a busy machine to finish,
especially if you're holding the dpkg lock the whole time.

This is with 16.04.4

[Bug 1462595] [NEW] Launchpad package selector offers non-existent packages

2015-06-06 Thread Tom Womack
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 42298 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/42298

Public bug reported:

I tried to report this against 'launchpad' on the
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug page, but that's apparently
not a package that exists in Debian either!

Version: current launchpad.net

Reproducer:

* Go to the https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug page
* Use the '(Choose...)' option to select the package
* Type 'apt-get' in the box
* Select apt-get-install from the options
* Carry on to report the bug

What I expected to happen:
* apt-get-install is accepted as a package

What actually happened:
* I get an error message '"apt-get-install" does not exist in Ubuntu. Please 
choose a different package. If you're unsure, please select "I don't know"'

What should happen:
The 'choose package' dialogue box should only let me select among packages 
which would be accepted as entries in the 'In what package' text box

[Bug 1462596] [NEW] apt-get autoremove takes quadratically long

2015-06-06 Thread Tom Womack
Public bug reported:

apt-get autoremove regenerates the initrd after removing each kernel.
Since you generally call this command only when your boot volume is full
of old kernels, it seems sub-optimal to regenerate the initrd eight
times when removing eight kernels.  Could something be done with
triggers to do a single regeneration of the initrd at the end?

This is in 14.04

So maybe this is a matter of package status being marked up incorrectly
in the PPA?

[Bug 1315619] [NEW] Job with 4 threads not assigned 4 distinct cores

2014-05-03 Thread Tom Womack
Public bug reported:

On 12.04, I have reliably found that a job which starts 4 long-running
threads on an otherwise-idle machine (there are some other threads which
have been running for some time, but they have been kill -STOPped) gets
the threads allocated to 4 distinct cores on my Haswell.

On 14.04, I found that the threads were allocated to cores 0, 1, 5, 6 -
that is, two were running on the two hyper-threads 1 and 5 of the same
core, and performance was 30% less than expected.  I can get around this
with explicit taskset commands, but for my use case it's a serious
regression from 12.04.

I am not willing to disable hyperthreading, because it gives a large
performance boost on other things I do on the same machine.

Still hangs after a few minutes if I boot, go to a text console, do

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop

to stop X, and then leave a few 'openssl speed' jobs running

'top' shows no processes but an increasing load average; 'iotop' shows
flush and jbd2 processes in 100% I/O state.

I've returned the laptop and acquired another one so will be unable to
help with further diagnosis.

[Bug 840944] [NEW] 'max resident' output too large by factor 4

2011-09-04 Thread Tom Womack
Public bug reported:

When I do /usr/bin/time ./a.out, where a.out is a program which just
allocates 512MB, writes to it at random then stops, I get told that the
max resident space is about two gigabytes.  Looking at other programs,
it is consistently given as too large by a factor four.

[Bug 44609] Re: RAID not implemented (use alternate CD instead)

2011-07-22 Thread Tom Womack
Point three isn't true; I've had setups with sda1+sdb1 forming a RAID1
pair and sda2+sdb2 forming a RAID0 pair

Point five isn't true for RAID5, where the capacity is  (minimum size of
devices) * (number of devices - 1)

I would just offer RAID1 as an option, and require selection of two
drives on which partitions of the same size are created.
