Known hardy bugs and workarounds

frodon has started a thread on UF to collect hardy bugs and workarounds. If you stumbled upon a bug and found a workaround, feel free to post in the thread so that the sticky can be improved.

  • sudo unable to resolve host: Workaround, Bug Report 1, Bug Report 2.
  • Excessive disk I/O in Firefox 3b5: Workaround, Bug report.
  • Samba Shares: Workaround, Bug report.
    -Note : Basically right click on a directory and share it -> Install the needed samba server -> log out and back in -> Repeat right click on directory to share.
    Do Not Share $HOME : See Deeta’s post #7 in the “Workaround” above.
  • ATI & Compiz: Rocket2DMn’s Workaround, Bug report.
  • GVFS and disk usage: Workaround, Bug report.
  • SATA drives not detected in IDE mode (DELL users mainly): Workaround, related thread, Bug report.
  • Install VMWare Server: Workaround, not really a bug, more of a FAQ.
  • VirtualBox OSE: Problem : VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED). Workaround : Remove VirtualBox OSE and install the PUEL version, Bug report.
  • System -> Quit takes a long time to appear: Workaround: Re-enable the gnome-power-manager in Administration-Sessions, Bug report.
  • Shut down screen problem?: Workaround.
  • Downgrade to Firefox 2, add-ons will not install: Workaround.
  • Edit /etc/sudoers with gedit: Workaround, Bug report.
  • High CPU usage in system monitor: Workaround – use top or htop in the meantime, thanks vor, Bug report – fixed upstream and currently in -proposed (may 08th 2008).
  • Bluetooth headsets not working: Workaround, Bug report.
  • USB devices and permissions: Workaround, Bug Report.
    - The syntax used in the 40-permissions.rules has changed with 8.04. In addition, any user changes now need to be in a user-numbered-and-named.rules file higher than 40.
    Thanks anewguy.
  • Crash after installing system-config-samba: Workaround : sudo touch /etc/libuser.conf, Bug Report. Thanks kikke.

    Hi Isabelle,

    Some of your links are not working as they have been made shorter by including “…” in them.

    I can’t wait to read about the FF disk I/O stuff!

    Please reload the page, should be fixed now, thanks :)
    I usually check all the links before I submit, in particular when copy/pasting. As it always work first time around, this time I did not check /o\.

    I know better.. Please accept my apologies.

    Thanks Nico :)
    My main box is on repairs, so I did not add the -proposed repos to this one. There have been issues with packages from -proposed in the past (but it is what they are designed for, testing packages before they hit the main repos).

    Hi,
    I noticed you mention the ATI/Compiz bug but not the nVidia/Compiz bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/dell/+bug/160264) with workaround (https://bugs.launchpad.net/dell/+bug/160264/comments/61). This workaround fixes the problem for me and many others. Hopefully it’ll be rolled into a new release soon.
    Thanks,
    Alan.

    Alan, did you try the package from Mario Limonciello’s PPA?

    Hi,
    I’ve reinstalled my laptop and tried the PPA packages and they seem to work fine too. Saves me compiling them :)
    Thanks,
    Alan
