[Bug 137916] CONFIG_NO_HZ

2007-09-07 Thread plord
Public bug reported:

The powertop utility ( http://www.linuxpowertop.org/ ) recommends the
following kernel configuration to reduce notebook power consumption :-

Suggestion: Enable the CONFIG_NO_HZ kernel configuration option.
This option is required to get any kind of longer sleep times in the CPU.

Does it make sense to enable this in the shipped kernel ?

[Bug 138939] [gutsy] acroread fails to startup

2007-09-11 Thread plord
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: acroread

When starting acroread from the command line I see :-

$ acroread 2>&1 | more
expr: syntax error
expr: syntax error
expr: syntax error
expr: syntax error
expr: syntax error
expr: syntax error
expr: syntax error

This seems to be because the script tries to get the verion number from
libgtk and fails ... the file I have installed is :-

libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1106.0

Add in set -x to the script it starts to fail when getting the version
number :-

+ echo libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1106.0
+ sed 's/libgtk-x11-\([0-9]*\).0.so.0.\([0-9]\)00.\([0-9]*\)\|\(.*\)/\1\2\3/g'
+ return 0
+ version=''

I'm using the download from adobe - although I see there is now a
slightly newer version which I try ( I have 7.0.8 )

http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/7x/7.0.9/enu/AdobeReader_enu-7.0.9-1.i386.tar.gz

I worked around this issue by breaking the sym link at libgtk-x11-2.0.so
& libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0

rm libgtk-x11-2.0.so
cp libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1106.0 libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
rm libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
cp libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1106.0 libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0

I'm not sure why this library has this extra weird version  number ...
perhaps this is really a bug with libgk-x11.

I removed my install from the adobe web site and installed acroread from
medibuntu instead ( and restored the libgtk-x11 sym links ) and all is
now well :-)

Many thanks !

[Bug 133710] Blank screen on tribe4 boot

2007-08-20 Thread plord
Public bug reported:

Whilst booting x86_64 version of kubuntu gutsy tribe4 on a dell inspiron
9400 I just get a blank screen.  The machine is on the network ( ping
works ) and I see some ntp traffic, but I can't access the machine from
either the keyboard or ssh, so I have no logs.

This also happens when booting with the safe vga option.

This means I can't install kubuntu :-(

[Bug 139186] kde4 beta2 kmail ( and others ) fail

2007-09-12 Thread plord
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kde4pim

Following the instructions for kde4 on gusty, I can't get kmail ( or
other pim applications ) running.

Starting with kconsole running on kde3, I type :-

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/kde4/lib
$ export KDEDIRS=/usr/lib/kde4
$ export PATH=/usr/lib/kde4/bin/:$PATH
$ export KDEHOME=~/.kde4
$ kmail
kmail: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/kde4/lib/libkdepim.so.4: undefined symbol: 
_ZTI18KStaticDeleterBase

Is this possibly due to the fact that we don't yet have all of the 3.93
packages ( at least for 64-bit ) ?  Perhaps kmail was compiled against
older libraries ?  Is this a case of waiting ?

Ah, some progress.

If I use X to generate a configuration file ( attached ) then X fires
up.

So a work-around to boot tribe4/tribe5 is :-

1) boot up in single user mode
2) X -config
3) cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
4) init 3

Many scripts I have rely on /bin/arch - so I see this as a regression.  
Also, we don't yet have coreutils >=6.9

I can obviously write a /bin/arch script which calls uname -m, but I 
would suggest that we need to ship /bin/arch in util-linux until its 
shipped in coreutils

[Bug 136330] kterm - unknown terminal type

Binary package hint: konsole

When running top in konsole I see :-

bash$ top
'kterm': unknown terminal type.

Also mailx reports "WARNING: terminal is not fully functional"

I see usr/share/terminfo/k/kterm is shipped in ncurses-term, I think
this package should be a dependency of the konsole package.

Well, I had x11-common installed without ncurses-term ... so I guess 
there is a bug here somewhere.

Also, I can't spot the dependency you mention from 
http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/x11/x11-common

[Bug 141168] /bin/kill not compatible with redhat/opensuse

2007-09-20 Thread plord
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: coreutils

Ubuntu ships /bin/kill from the procps package whilst other
distributions ( such as redhat and opensuse ) use /bin/kill from
coreutils.

In most cases this doesn't matter, but the two commands do behave
differently, especially in the use of process groups and the "--"
option.

For compatibility between distributions, can we have /bin/kill made
available from coreutils ?
