[Bug 585765] Re: Ubuntu 10.04 random freezes

2010-07-14 Thread Captain Chaos
Could this have something to do with IRQ routing? I noticed on some other thread somebody saying that uninstalling the irqbalance daemon made the freezes go away. An IRQ routing problem might explain the randomness of the freezes, as everybody has different hardware on different IRQ's. If the kerne

I've been running irqbalance --debug in a console for a while now, and I can see it moving interrupts around between cores. Possibly whenever it does this it could sometimes go wrong or cause problems? OK, I'll stop my uninformed speculation now, but maybe this is of some use to someone with deeper

Anything happening on this? It's very frustrating. I went from Karmic, where Twitter worked but Facebook didn't, to Lucid, and now Facebook works but Twitter doesn't! It's amazing that a program which is a centrepiece of the Ubuntu GUI can be so buggy for so long... Please let me know if I can hel

Thanks for the tip. I found out how to add this parameter, and now it does indeed boot! Now that I can boot the system, how can I find out what's going wrong when the nomodeset parameter is not set? By the way, I don't know if this is related, but now that I can boot I can't start X. I installed

Further to my comment #124, I can report that after disabling irqbalance (about three weeks ago) I have not had random freezes any more. It definitely seems to be a factor on my system (quad core Intel Core2, 4 GB RAM, 2 NVidia Geforce 8800 GTX's). Perhaps others could try whether this makes a dif

Aha, a clue! The error message is "'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xeb", and the message contained a ë. Byte 0xeb in the *ISO-8859-1* character encoding is ë! This means that it is very likely that the message is not encoded with UTF-8 at all, but with ISO-8859-1, and Gwibber for some reason trie

The plot thickens. I've been looking at the code, and this happens while decoding an HTML entity tag (such as á).

The tweets are mainly in Dutch, English and Japanese. You say that "before the data is parsed by htmllib.HTMLParser it must be unicode", but your modification actually turns the string into a UTF-8-encoded 8-bit string, not unicode. What's more, a "print type(s)" in unescape() reveals that *withou
