[Bug 504430] [NEW] video player doesn't play dvds any more

2010-01-07 Thread ell
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: software-center

the package/programme is the gnome panel 
I use Ubuntu 9.10
the version of the package is 1:2.28.0-0ubuntu 6 0 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com 
karmic/main packages 100 var/lib/dpkg/status
When I insert a DVD and want to open it with the video player it should open 
the menu of the DVD. Instead I get an error message (in German) telling me that 
the source couldn't be opened maybe due to a lack of user rights. I do have 
this problem with DVDs for Europe and the US.

yes, encrypted dvds. I don't know how to check whether libdvdcss is
installed. Could you let me know? And if it is not installed could you send
a short description of how to install it? Thanks a lot.

I also had this issue with Ubuntu 9.10 x64, the internal display is
killed.  Whenever I try to boot up the Ubuntu partition it displays
screen sequences of red, blue, green, white and colored grey scale
lines.  An external display works fine however.

[Bug 427625] Re: privoxy not start at boot - karmic

2009-11-16 Thread Stevan Kew Ell
This has been driving me to distraction too, as the combination of
privoxy and epiphany-webkit is great.  I think I have just stumbled onto
a temporary workaround, which hopefully will help to locate the bug.  If
you disable IPv6, it starts correctly.

I put the line:-

net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1

into /etc/sysctl.conf and rebooted, and privoxy started correctly, as
expected.

As this disables IPv6, it's not a fix, just a workaround, but hopefully
may point to thereal problem.

@ richardgv #27 - sorry, yes, I have the listen address as

was the first change necessary top get karmic working on comparison with
Jaunty.  Glad those two workarounds work for you too.

the IPv6 workaround, one of my machines has started working correctly
again, starting privoxy at startup.

2009-10-14 Thread Stevan Kew Ell
 I can also confirmn that 0.2.2 does not work on an IBM X31.  The boot
process works up to the disk fsck, then simply stops.  0.1.8 works
perfectly.  It's a definitive issue, repeatable enough for me to have
wrtten a script to recover using the Live CD after an update.

No, as Jonathan says in comment 16, nothing further appears on the screen after 
the fsck, in my case of the two partitions I run,  has completed.  This is with 
any version of mountall above 0.1.8

Attached is a photo of the screen at the point at which the boot process
hangs, with "quiet splash" removed from grub2.  My systems was re-
installed from scratch a few days ago, and the screen pic was taken
after this morning's update.  This is with mountall 0.2.2, in other
words.  Standard generic kernel. Hope that helps.

[Bug 1434959] [NEW] XFCE desktop - system icons themselves arrange off the screen

2015-03-22 Thread Stevan Kew Ell
Public bug reported:

When clicking "Arrange Desktop Icons" in XF Desktop properties, the system 
icons, Home. Wastebasket and Removable Devices (I don't use the additional 
"Filesystem option)  arrange themselves off the screen area to the left rather 
than at the top left and visible.  A tiny portion of an icon is just visible, 
provising a clue as to what has happened.
A workaround is to choose "Desktop Settings", the Icons tab, and un-select and 
re-select the system icons. when they appear at the end (bottom right) of the 
desktop, or tolog out and log back in, which arranges the icons in a 
half-expected manner.
This issue may account for some reports of invisible disk mounts on the 
desktop, where the mount icons may simply be off the screen.
Additionally, the icons do not sort themselves into any sensible order. 
The expected action is to arrange with known icons first, followed by folders, 
followed by files in alphabetical order, but the arranged order appears to be 
random.

SOLVED - A bit bizarre, especially as this is a new installation, and I
even created a new user to test the effect.  The problem turned out to
be default keyboard application  shortcuts. I removed the two listings
of shortcuts for the display settings manager and the mystery of the
rogue dialog box was resolved.

[Bug 1239293] [NEW] Display settings control box appears on power event

2013-10-13 Thread Stevan Kew Ell

I suspect this may be a problem with acpid or acpi-scripts.  When I
remove or insert the power adaptor, or change screen brightness, the
display settings control box (process "xfce4-display-settings

[Bug 1239293] Re: Display settings control box appears on power event

2013-10-16 Thread Stevan Kew Ell
Is anyone able to comment on this issue?  I've not been able to find
anything other than an old reference to the same issue, with just one
reply that suggested having a look under /etc/acpi for any pointers, and
no resolution noted.  A quick grep of that directory and below shows no
reference to display at all.

While it "feels" like an acpi issue, I've got no real confirmation of
that supposition, and it could be something else.Sometimes multiple
display settings dialogs appear, sometime just one.  It seems to be
restricted to screen brightness alteration and inserting or removing AC
power.

Latest investigation suggests that if a USB disk is plugged in and

again, it would be interesting ti see if others find consistency in
this,

@montblanc - sorry about the delay in replying.  Yes, that's exactly
right.  If I either disable my nfs mount in fstab, meaning it never
mounts the nfs share, or I unmount it before shutting down, then all
works perfectly.  The moment my machine has a live nfs mount at shutdown
time, it gets no further than trying to unmount the share, as
demonstrated by clint-fewbar's debugging suggestion of adding "set -x"
to scripts.  In particular, I think the process in umountfs is the one
where the problem occurs (stated carefully, as it may be some other
component causing the issue from that script.)

2011-10-25 Thread Stevan Kew Ell
Yes, I was wondering about what the break point is - someone here had a USB 
disk mounted and was experiencing this failure.  I've been trying to set check 
points in umountnfs.sh to see if I can see what may be causing the problem, but 
I fear I soon run out of knowledge.  Great the bug has been flagged as 
confirmed.

2011-10-17 Thread Stevan Kew Ell
@clint-fewbar #14 - yes, I would say that that is the case.  It looks to
my inexpert eye that the -P option is NOT part of the poweroff options
in /usr/lib/xfce4/session/xfsm-shutdown-helper.  What bothers me is the
inconsistent nature of using the physical switch to initiate a shut
down.  I don't see why that sometimes works, as I thought is simply
called xfsm-shutdown-helper.

2011-10-18 Thread Stevan Kew Ell
@Clint Byrum (clint-fewbar)  Message 20

I have done as you ask, and I can get consistent failures and successes
which may help.  I am running Xubuntu and carried out all these tests
using the shutdown button on the desktop.  /etc/default/halt is set to
poweroff.

When shutdown powers off the machine, I can confirm that it passes the
following settings to halt:-

halt -d -f -i -p -h

I tried this on five occasions and operation is consistent, as long as
you boot, and then immediately shut down.  However, if you leave the
machine for a few minutes, then the shut down process does not get very
far at all.  It hangs on:-

Killing all running processes.

which is quite early in the shutdown process, and therefore the issue is
not with the halt command but with the shutdown process itself.  That's
an assumption on my art as I don't really understand the way upstart
handles this.

I assume that shutting down immediately means upstart is still running,
while leaving it a few minutes means upstart finishes its processes.

I tried this on half a dozen occasions, leaving the machine for 3
minutes and get consistent results.

I hope this helps.

[Bug 859075] Re: Oneiric does not shutdown

2011-10-19 Thread Stevan Kew Ell
It's an NFS umount issue.

I've now tried using Natty's umountnfs.sh, but there's no difference, and
I've also tried altering fstab to use an IP address rather than a name.  No
difference to the failure.

The immediate shutdown inconsistency is because the NFS mount hasn't yet
happened, triggered by networkmanager.  As soon as NFS is mounted, the
system will not shut down.

Conversely, if I unmount NFS manually before trying to shut down,
shutdown works correctly every time.

So I do not believe this has anything to do with the halt command.

It would be interesting to know if others with this problem also use NFS
mounts.

[Bug 859075] Re: Oneiric does not shutdown

2011-10-19 Thread Stevan Kew Ell
Yes, I'm sorry if my lack of understanding about the shutdown process
results in false assumptions.

I've added "set -x" to the files mentioned in /etc/init.d

The hang happens, for me, on the nfs umounting.  The last four lines
are:-

exec
[ /nfs/home ]
[ no = no ]
fstab-decode umount -f -l /nfs/home

And then it just sticks at that point.

The relevant line in /etc/fstab is 
tnc:/home   /nfs/home   nfs defaults0   2

I'll try altering some NFS options and see if that makes a difference.

2011-10-29 Thread Stevan Kew Ell
I  think this may be an upstream issue.  On a whim, I updated a faithful
old Thinkpad running Debian Squeeze to Wheezy, and the same issue occurs
there - when I have an NFS mount, it does not shut down, but when I
unmount it before shutting down, the machine powers off correctly.  I
did not go through all the "set -x" routine to confirm, but the
behaviour is exactly the same.  This worked perfectly under Squeeze, the
same as it has worked under Natty.

2011-10-29 Thread Stevan Kew Ell
I have a hack that works for me.  I should say that I have a very
incomplete understanding of the way the umount* files work with each
other, but I don't think the hack is likely to affect anything else.

I have edited the file /etc/init.t/umountnfs.sh

Somewhere around line 84, alter the following line:-
fstab-decode umount $FLAGS $DIRS
to

fstab-decode /sbin/umount.nfs $DIRS $FLAGS

Note that the two options need to be switched around  to $DIRS $FLAGS

This works on Wheezy too.

2011-10-29 Thread Stevan Kew Ell
I wonder if there are other areas  of these scripts where perhaps
alternatives are possible, but as the entire sysvinit package has been
flagged as a high importance issue, perhaps it would be better to wait
to see if a proper fix rather than my hack appears.  I would suggest you
try clint's suggestion if adding "set -x" to the files he discussed, as
that should show exactly where the problem occurs on your machine.

2011-10-17 Thread Stevan Kew Ell
I can confirm the same issue applies to Xubuntu.  It's not so easy to
alter /usr/lib/xfce4/session/xfsm-shutdown-helper to include the
settings suggested to KDE.

Also, while the system never seems to power down when choosing the
logout button, there is a slight difference when you use the laptop's
power button to initiate shutdown.   When using that method, the system
sometimes powers off and sometimes doesn't, with no obvious difference
between success and failure.

@montblanc - do you have any remote file systems, perhaps samba, mounted?  I 
think the error occurs in the umountfs script, which, I think (bit may be 
wrong) affects all mounted file syystems.

@montblanc - I thinks that's definitive - there's something wrong with
the umountfs process.  I have hashed out my nfs mounts in /etc/fstab the
last couple of days and shutting down is flawless.

@clint-fewbar - does this provide enough info for this to be taken
further?  Many thanks for the "set -x" suggestion.
