Public bug reported: Could there be an option to switch to synaptic from the software center? It's rather irritating to find out the package I'm looking for is in the repositories, but is not shown in the software center; if I've just installed something, I still have root privileges, but to run s

Sorry for the triple post, but here are a few graphs for an before and after comparison of system utilization. The last week is shown, and I upgraded late sunday, the two blank intervals of time being mandatory reboots after the upgrade finished. Notice how rapidly the memory and swap usage rises

I'd also like to note this isn't by any means a underpowered rig; I built it a few months ago with gaming and CPU intense tasks such as compiling and multimedia work in mind. Surely a quad core Phenom II clocked at 3.2GHz is overkill for linux, right? I've got a Radeon HD 5670 for the graphics gru

Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus Nautilus, along with many standard applications, has been gobbling up all 4Gb of my RAM ever since I've upgraded to Natty. I have a feeling the extra effects enabled (which I can't seem to *disable*) such as compiz are putting unnecessary burden

Bug is still alive and kicking. My HP g60 125nr does this and it drives me nuts. If we can get a discharge rate (Wh/time) isn't it just simple arithmetic to get at least a half-decent fallback routine should the current implementation fail/time out? I've had the stock battery replaced via BestBuy,

Why would LD_PRELOAD'ing libnss_wins.so fix the problem? If I get rhythmbox to load my freshly built libnss_wins.so instead of the one in /lib (using LD_LIBRARY_PATH) I can actually get some useful debugging info. Unless I'm going something totally wrong, rhythmbox is actually segfaulting on ns

Okay, this is odd. I've gotten the source for samba using "apt-get source winbind", built it without optimizations, then used LD_PRELOAD to override the system's copy of libnss_wins.so with my fresh copy, then launched rhythmbox (which segfaulted whenever it tried to resolve a hostname.) and it

Same problem here. according to dpkg "/lib/libnss_wins.so.6" is provided by the winbind package. Before I installed winbind rhythmbox didn't segfault, so this might be a problem with libnss_wins. Removing winbind does work as a workaround, but it's not fixing the problem. If I find why this is hap

I've just looked through the datasheet for the FTDI chip in question. The Vendor ID and Device ID can be reprogrammed with little effort, so it looks like "Watts Up? inc." shouldn't be getting the default default IDs associated with them. The datasheet can be found here for those who are interest
