I'm in exactly the same boat. I've found some useful additional information in 
bug #1052419, and especially Andres Salomon's message gives an actionable 
procedure to try. That bug was closed with an update to that NEWS message, 
although I still find that as written it assumes the user already has a grasp 
of the cupsd.conf file format and content, despite that they may never have 
touched that file and have no idea what they are being asked to do.

Bug#1001147: syncthing.service appears to be enabled for all users

2022-01-14 Thread Brendon Higgins
Hi,

I just noticed the symptoms of this on my own system. Does every installation 
affected by this bug need manual intervention to undo the automatically-enabled 
user unit, or should the fixed package do that itself? If the former, for those 
not familiar (myself included), could you suggest the appropriate incantation 
to remove the user unit?

Thanks,

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the pointer to the official site. Looks like the OpenPrinting mirror 
has been corrected by now. Is it normal that hp-plugin tries to download from 
OpenPrinting instead of the official site?

Oh I've no doubt I'm not the only one; that's why I'm thinking about how the 
whole situation might be improved.

Well, no, they wouldn't be. Regarding "automatic", I specifically mean for 
*updating* the plugin. Initially installing the plugin would still be a manual 
decision, in that the sysadmin (who, yes, might also be the user) would have 
to 'apt install hp-plugin-installer'. If they don't need it, they'd have no 
reason to install it in the first place. Nothing would depend on hp-plugin-
installer, except that hplip *might* suggest it. (I thought I already said all 
that, but perhaps I was unclear.)

This is how I'm thinking a hp-plugin-installer package will work:  
Importantly, it must pre-depend on the current hplip package. When the 
sysadmin installs it, its postinst script runs 'hp-plugin -i'. Sysadmin has to 
answer the two prompts to download and accept the license, which they would 
have to do anyway. Then in future when hplip packages receive an update, hp-
plugin-install is also updated; its postinst gets triggered and runs the 
*updated* hp-plugin, which downloads the updated version of the plugin (with 
the usual prompts).

The implication of this is that the sysadmin is always in control of the 
installation of the (updated) plugin, and the update always takes place at the 
same time as other package updates - the sysadmin doesn't have to remember to 
do it, or else be reminded at a random, possibly inopportune time.

I'm not sure why you brought up hp-scan. Did you mean hp-plugin? If that's 
what you meant, then yes, issues would be reflected, and that's part of the 
point. With 'hp-plugin-installer' as I propose, the sysadmin would be informed 
of a problem acquiring the necessary updated plugin, and can take action to 
correct that, all within moments of the hplip packages themselves being 
updated. At present, the problem might be hidden for however long until the 
user tries to print or scan, at which point corrective action by the sysadmin 
might be inconvenient or not immediately possible.

Sure, but that doesn't invalidate my point. There's plenty of situations where 
it isn't the case - e.g., someone managing a system for a non-technically-
literate relative or friend, or the admin of a school computer lab...

Download the plugin from where? I traced its source to the location given in 
that Launchpad bug, and it's obviously a broken upload at the server - this is 
a "true negative" checksum failure. (Please try it - it still hasn't been fixed 
as of writing.) I haven't been able to uncover an alternative download 
location, so if you know of one I would love to hear it (really!).

This negative experience is what inspired me to suggest hp-plugin-installer - 
because it does provide key usability benefits due to this property: it would 
run at the same time that the hplip packages are updated. The benefits that 
come from this are:
1. Automatic updating of the plugin to the corresponding version - which, 
assuming an environment that uses one of the affected devices, is implicitly 
required by the hplip package for it to be at all useful.
2. Any failure to download/install the updated plugin can be found and 
addressed by the system administrator immediately. This is in contrast to the 
current situation where the system is left in an incomplete, unusable state, 
for an indefinite period of time, until the user might try to use their device, 
encounter a problem, and the user (rather than system administrator) is 
expected to fix that.

In my case, the plugin file being broken upstream was my critical failure 
point. I only encountered this weeks after the hplip packages updated - it 
seems to me that the plugin file might have been okay back then. (I've since 
had to downgrade back to stable's version.) But I can imagine other situations 
which would be helped by hp-plugin-installer, too - perhaps the system is 
portable and not always connected to the internet, so downloading the plugin 
at any given time (even if it is good upstream) is not feasible, but 
downloading it when packages are also downloaded and installed makes much more 
sense. Or perhaps the user has been granted printing permissions but not root 
permissions by the system administrator - the sysadmin would absolutely want 
some kind of automation to install this plugin in such a situation...

hplip could suggest it, though. At any rate, I imagine the sysadmin would 
install hp-plugin-installer (from contrib) themselves. They would only need to 
do that once, and only if they actually had a device that needs the plugin to 
be installed. hp-plugin-installer would be versioned alongside hplip and 
update at the same time, and thereby run hp-plugin to grab and install the 
necessary plugin version at the time (or immediately after) the hplip update 
is installed.

When I get some time I'll try to get a basic patch working.

> Ultimately, it is the user's responsibility to download a non-free plugin.

Well, to be precise, it's the sysadmin's responsibility to install said 
plugin, rather than the user's (unless they happen to be the sysadmin, but 
then it's a question of which hat they're wearing at any point in time).

Hi Brian,

On the contrary, I would think the proposed hplip-plugin-installer package 
would pre-depend on hplip and essentially just run hp-plugin in its postinst. 
It's complementary, not a replacement.

Debian-specific, perhaps, though hardly beyond ordinary packaging practices. 
Could be useful for derivatives, too. I would think maintenance for such a 
simple thing would be minimal (barring major upstream changes - which users 
would have to figure out for themselves, otherwise).

And as I mentioned, there's plenty of precedent for this approach, and the  
arguments against those are the same.

Bug#997795: hplip: Make a hplip-plugin-installer package

2021-10-24 Thread Brendon Higgins
Source: hplip
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: bren...@quantumfurball.net

Dear Maintainer,

As I understand it, licensing restrictions mean that the HP plugin, necessary
for some printers/scanners (including the MFC I own), cannot be packaged in the
ordinary Debian way. Instead, currently, if the Debian hplip packages receive
an update, the next time a user attempts to use their printer/scanner they are
interrupted until they download and install the latest plugin.

This ends up being a nuisance manual process which is asynchronous with the
actual change that made it necessary (the package update). Moreover, such an
action (choosing to install the plugin package) is arguably not appropriate for
the user role, anyway - rather, it is a system administrator question (for
which the user may not actually have permission to decide). (It doesn't help
that the download is a single point of failure that can be triggered at this
later time; see https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1948555 ...)

Why not create a hplip-plugin-installer package (contrib), version-matched to
the other hplip packages, which downloads and installs the HP plugin in its
postinst? It would solve the primary issue, taking place at the same time as
the other hplip packages are updated (and therefore could fail, and be
corrected or reverted, all at that time). As a bonus, it would automate most of
that nuisance process while allowing the system administrator (rather than
random user) to accept (or decline) the installation.

Lots of precedent exists for such a package. A cursory search through the
contrib section for "download" in the package description brings up many, with
notable examples being ttf-mscorefonts-installer, google-android-ndk-installer
(and family), the historical (now-defunct) flashplugin-nonfree, and a swarth of
firmware blobs.

I'm broadly familiar with the Debian packaging process, but not all of the
details. Nevertheless, I am technically inclined, and for how many times this
nuisance has bitten me I'm willing to help make this suggestion happen however
I can.

Best,
Brendon

Good tip, thanks for that. Evidently it only works on a per-user basis - i.e., 
adding those lines to /etc/hp/hplip.conf does nothing - which isn't perfect, 
but this is something.

For me, hplip insists on going through the plugin install process after each 
time apt installs an updated package, so this will make that recurring 
annoyance that much more tolerable.

Bug#981679: kdevelop: Clang plugin breaks when clang package bumps version

2021-02-02 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: kdevelop
Version: 4:5.6.1-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: bren...@quantumfurball.net

Dear Maintainer,

The Clang plugin seems to be responsible for advanced syntax highlighting and
probably other features. I just updated packages on my system and noticed these
features no longer work. I saw a few copies of the below in the kdevelop output
to console:

kdevplatform.shell: Could not load plugin "kdevclangsupport" , it reported the
error: "The clang builtin include path
\"/usr/lib/llvm-11/lib/clang/11.0.0/include\" is invalid (missing cpuid.h
header).\nTry setting the KDEV_CLANG_BUILTIN_DIR environment variable manually
to fix this.\nSee also: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=393779; Disabling
the plugin now.

So the path it needs is hard-coded and versioned, for 11.0.0 in the present
binary. My latest update pulled in Clang 11.0.1. If I set the
KDEV_CLANG_BUILTIN_DIR variable correctly and run kdevelop, then it works.

The KDE bug linked above does seem related, but ends with closure despite more
run-time checking being a TODO. Until that's implemented, it seems the Clang
plugin has a hard-ish version dependency on Clang, and the kdevelop package
must be rebuilt when Clang updates, or the user has to employ the environment
variable workaround.

Peace,
Brendon

Bug#980945: chromium: Text displayed without subpixel antialiasing

2021-01-24 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: chromium
Version: 88.0.4324.96-0.1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: bren...@quantumfurball.net

Dear Maintainer,

On my systems, Chromium draws text with only grayscale antialiasing, and does
not use any subpixel (LCD, RGB) antialiasing. I actually found this trying to
determine why programs using Qt WebEngine (based on Chromium, as I understand)
were not showing subpixel antialiasing in certain content - the common element
seems to be something somewhere inside Chromium. The difference between
subpixel and grayscale antialiasing can be seen easily with magnifier programs
like kmag. Other programs (aside from where some use WebEngine) on my system
don't have this issue.

I got the portable binary of ungoogled-chromium 87 from the Chromium website
for comparison, and found that it does employ subpixel antialiasing. So that
seems to rule out some bug in the upstream code itself. I guess it's something
in the way both the Chromium package and the Qt WebEngine package are built, or
in common dependencies which that portable binary provided built-in. I haven't
noticed anything clearly pointing to a dependency being at issue, though, and
I'm out of ideas.

Peace,
Brendon

I'm getting bitten by this bug on my workstation. I also tried it from within 
a fresh user account: same issue there, so it's not a user configuration 
mistake. From a user perspective, wontfix is not a particularly satisfying 
conclusion.

I noticed my laptop does not have the issue, but hasn't been updated in a 
while. So I (painstakingly) upgraded packages piecemeal, and observed Octave 
GUI's behaviour as I did...

The culprit is libreadline8 (and/or readline-common). Octave GUI has no 
complaints with the prior version 8.0-4, but after upgrading to version 
8.1~rc3-1, Octave GUI now complains about "undecodable token: \001b(hex)[?
2004h" and messes-up the command interface, as per the original report.

So, does libreadline8 cause this "bracketed paste mode" to be enabled by 
default, now? Or perhaps something else is going on - like, perhaps /etc/
inputrc should have been updated along with readline-common, in which case 
we're actually getting bitten by bug #504793?

Bug#975337: kdevelop: Fails to parse gdb 10 version string, won't debug programs

2020-11-20 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: kdevelop
Version: 4:5.6.0-3+b1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
X-Debbugs-Cc: bren...@quantumfurball.net

Dear Maintainer,

Evidently the version string returned from GDB has changed since the major
version switch from 9 to 10, and now kdevelop cannot interpret it. When I try
to run a project binary in debug mode, I get a red bar across the top of the
editor window saying:
You need gdb 7.0.0 or higher.
You are using: GNU gdb (Debian 10.1-1+b1) 10.1

Obviously 10.1 > 7.0.0, but from what I can gather, kdevelop doesn't seem to be
extracting the relevant portion of the "GNU gdb (Debian 10.1-1+b1) 10.1"
string. I can only close the notice bar - the debugger function in kdevelop no
longer works.

Triggered by local gdb package version, but I'm assuming the check logic comes
from upstream.

Best,
Brendon

Bug#973567: kmail cannot create Exchange EWS sending account without kmailtransport-akonadi package installed

2020-11-01 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: kmail
Version: 4:20.08.2-3
Severity: minor
X-Debbugs-Cc: bren...@quantumfurball.net

Dear Maintainer,

My organization recently migrated to Exchange for email service (oh joy). Long
story short, a kmail user can't create a EWS sending account until they 
install
kmailtransport-akonadi - otherwise kmail simply does not list EWS as an 
option.
Nothing depends on this package, so an ordinary user will most likely not have
it installed. Nothing seems to mention this, it's certainly not obvious, and
caused me some headache to figure out why I could create a EWS receiving
account but not a sending one. (Eventually I found some kind person's forum
post mentioning the issue.)

I think it would help if the kmail package would recommend or at least suggest
kmailtransport-akonadi. Adding mention of this "sending EWS" use-case to the
kmailtransport-akonadi description might also be a good idea, to aid in user
discoverability.

Thanks for your efforts and for considering the suggestion.

Bug#943585: kwin-x11: kwin (?) causes extreme flickering and tear on login

2019-11-16 Thread Brendon Higgins
A followup: Just noticed I had a file in xorg.conf.d called 20-
intel.conf. Not sure where this file came from (it's quite possible I 
made it myself when trying to debug something since forgotten) and 
it seemed more-or-less empty; it's entire contents are:
Section "Device"
Identifier  "card0"
Driver  "intel"
#Option  "AccelMethod"  "uxa"
EndSection

Given those contents, I would've presumed there'd be no difference to 
the default settings. Yet if I remove that file from xorg.conf.d, the 
graphical issues that I was experiencing in kwin_x11 are gone!

Stefan, I don't suppose you might have something similar going on 
with your system?

Peace,
Brendon

Bug#943585: kwin-x11: kwin (?) causes extreme flickering and tear on login

2019-10-27 Thread Brendon Higgins
Hi,

I've encountered similar behaviour: black/residual/flickering windows 
making the desktop unusable after login. I also noticed some minor (white) 
flickering in SDDM prior to login, although it was still quite usable at that 
point. I'm running a mixed testing/unstable system, and am also using an 
Intel display chip (Dell Latitude; only on-board, no discrete graphics chip).

I found disabling OpenGL compositing with ALT+SHIFT+F12 worked around 
it at first, as did downgrading KDE+QT packages back to testing. I'm just 
trying this now with unstable packages again, and running the suggestsed 
'DRI_PRIME=1 kwin_x11 --replace'also seems to work - even as the new 
kwin_x11 instance brings OpenGL compositing back with it.

Peace,
Brendon

Bug#575469: texlive-base: dvips fails to include font characters used in eps figure created by PyX

2019-08-04 Thread Brendon Higgins
Hi Hilmar,

Wow, this is an old one of mine. I just tried to reproduce it, too, and found 
the same result as you. It seems that whatever the problem was, it has 
been sorted out at some point in the last 9 years.

(Interestingly, my test case does exhibit some kind of figure positioning 
bug in Okular when viewing the DVI file. The "Hello, world!" is about a 
centimeter too far left...)

Anyway, this bug can be closed.

Best,
Brendon

Bug#825383: /usr/share/hplip/doctor.py: hp-doctor will not accept sudo password and there is no root account

Perhaps my case can serve as an illustrative example: Every time hplip package 
updates, the next time I go to scan something with my MFC (using gscan2pdf, 
say), I get a prompt that I need to download the plugin. (Is that itself a 
bug?) Of course it fails because my system has no root password, only sudo. In 
principle, the edit-password.py workaround does work, except that the package 
update also typically means password.py gets overwritten.

And the sudo hp-plugin -i approach has issues:
* "warning: It is not recommended to run 'hp-plugin' in a root mode."
* "error: Unable to recieve key from keyserver"

It's a bit frustrating. I have to remember to either edit password.py or run 
sudo hp-plugin -i every time the package updates. (Come to think of it, an 
install hook would be nice...)

Bug#901148: severity of 901148 is important

Forgive my ignorance, but I don't see what reasoning drove reducing this bug's 
severity. https://release.debian.org/testing/rc_policy.txt says "[A]n issue is 
release critical if it: [...] * makes unrelated software on the system (or the 
whole system) break". I was bitten by this bug today (in testing), and from my 
perspective, the timidity package broke (important, IMO) functionality of a 
suite of other unrelated packages. That seems to qualify for at least serious 
(and therefore RC) severity. Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Bug#845346: fixed in qupzilla 2.2.0~dfsg1-1

2017-10-31 Thread Brendon Higgins
Thanks for including, but it seems only the dependency change was 
addressed. My patch also touched two other files, but in 2.2.0-dfsg1-1, those 
files are the same as before. So, KWallet functionality hasn't yet been 
enabled...

Peace,
Brendon

Bug#878074: Update virtualbox-guest-* will remove a well running ntp

2017-10-10 Thread Brendon Higgins
With the theme that every change breaks someone's workflow*, my workflow has it 
that I usually run my Debian partition in a real environment, but sometimes I 
have to run Windows, so when that's the case I run my Debian partition as as 
VirtualBox guest. I expect this conflict against ntp will mean that my clock 
will drift on days/weeks where I'm not running Windows. My personal preference 
would be for a different solution...

Peace,
Brendon

*And, as per https://xkcd.com/1172/ , I await your response of "That's 
horrifying." :)

Bug#849352: gimp: Saving overtop existing BZ2 compressesd XCF files does not truncate them

I considered that, too, but the undo history is blank (except for the single 
"Base Image" item) when I load the file. Also, that wouldn't explain bunzip2 
complaining about trialing garbage, nor the fact that the uncompressed .xcf 
file bunzip2 produces (which, for the record, can itself be correctly opened in 
gimp) is significantly smaller than the .xcf.bz2 file that gimp had saved.

Bug#766426: Dolphin search displays "Invalid protocol" error.

2015-10-15 Thread Brendon Higgins
For the benefit of those, like me, who encounter this problem with a recent 
install, note that the solution has changed since the transition in Testing to 
KDE Frameworks 5: don't install baloo4, it won't work with current dolphin. 
Instead, install baloo-kf5.

Maintainers, please consider making plasma-desktop (or some package you think 
is more appropriate - perhaps dolphin) at least recommend baloo-kf5. From what 
I can tell, right now, nothing even suggests baloo-kf5, and it's rather opaque 
to an ordinary user that this package might be necessary for some standard 
functionality.

Peace,
Brendon



Bug#793026: kwin-x11: kwin is not started

2015-07-30 Thread Brendon Higgins
This doesn't seem to be fixed. I now have three separate machines, all tracking 
testing with a sprinkle of unstable packages (which includes those for kwin 
and kde-window-manager), none of which run kwin_x11 at login. They do all have 
the correct x-window-manager alternative set, and I can manually start 
kwin_x11 after login.

From my investigation, the problem is that ksmserver, which is what starts the 
window manager, by default attempts to find the kwin binary, but this binary 
no longer exists. Evidence for this is that I see 'KSMServer::wmProcessChange: 
Window manager kwin failed to launch' in my .xsession-errors file, and 
examining the source code 
(http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/workspace-apidocs/plasma-workspace/html/ksmserver_2startup_8cpp_source.html,
 lines 233 
and 234) suggests this really is the name of the binary ksmserver is looking 
for.

If correct, I should be able to work around the issue by (as root) creating a 
link /usr/bin/kwin that points to kwin_x11. Indeed, I just checked, and that 
does appear to work.

Peace,
Brendon

Bug#743297: plasma-widgets-addons: fuzzy clock should say 'X til T' instead of 'X to T'

2014-04-29 Thread Brendon Higgins
This suggestion seems to be very subjective and/or region specific. E.g. I've 
personally only ever heard it as X to Y, and never X til Y. If it were 
til I would be at least as justified in filing a similar bug to change it to 
to - if not more justified, as I suspect to is actually more common usage.

Bug#727555: python-qt4: Crashes plasma-desktop on startup

2013-10-26 Thread Brendon Higgins
I've been running into this crash, also. I'm currently working around it by 
uninstalling plasma-scriptengine-python, but of course that breaks python-
based plasma widgets.

In my case, I don't use veromix, but I have a small python plasma widget I 
wrote myself. So with plasma-scriptengine-python uninstalled, I see Could not 
create a Python... error message on the desktop where my widget should be. 
Presumably any python plasma widget will trigger the crash (though veromix 
seems like it's the only one that is packaged).

Peace,

Bug#577854: ipe: Editing circular arcs can lead to unrestrained memory allocation, eventual crash

2011-08-30 Thread Brendon Higgins
Steve M. Robbins wrote (August 30, 2011):
 Before I report this again, could you kindly verify it still happens
 with the current ipe in testing/unstable (7.0.14)?  I have just tried,
 and failed, to reproduce the issue.

Hi Steve,

It does seem that the behavior in the current version has changed. Now ipe 
seems to prevent the centre point going out to infinity when the other two 
points are made horizontal. While this solution can result in an arc line that 
does not connect the two arc points (the line arcs away from one because the 
centre point is left at the last valid finite coordinate), this is certainly 
preferable to the previous behavior. So I'd say this is closed.

Thanks,
Brendon

Bug#597676: Export options vanish every other time

2010-10-05 Thread Brendon Higgins
Hi,

(Original reporter here.) I just tried with a clean ~/.lyx, and things seem to 
behave themselves. So there's something in my .lyx that lyx does not like. It 
turns out that it's certainly my preferences file. I narrowed it down after 
comparing the two folders recursively and moving things to the clean .lyx one 
by one.

I had a look at the settings for these formats, and noticed that Document 
Format is not ticked for them. If I change that for, say, PDF (pdflatex) so 
that it is ticked, then that particular option shows up in the Export menu all 
the time, as you ought to expect.

Before anyone shouts PEBKAC, while I did change the viewer application option 
(as you can tell), I don't believe I would have been silly enough to change 
that tick mark. I reckon, somehow, that property must have been either 
unchecked or not set by default properly when this property was introduced in 
an earlier version. (I've been using lyx on this machine since 2006, and would 
have had similar settings, using kghostview rather than okular.)

Anyway, I know how to work around it, now. Though it doesn't explain why LyX 
should start assuming the formats are document formats after it performs the 
reconfiguration (without altering the preferences).

Peace,
Brendon

 I currently fail to help with debugging this problem any further so maybe

 Looks sane as far as I can tell.

 Hm sounds odd and I can't reproduce it here.
 Just cleared my .lyx directory and I've only texlive-fonts-recommended
 installed and everything works fine.
 I tried several pdf export options dvipdfm, pdflatex and ps2pdf. All work
 fine here.

I've just noticed that after closing and reopening LyX, the PDF export options 
don't stay. Each time, I can run Reconfigure and the PDF options reappear (as 
well as DVI and Postscript options). All the files in .lyx are u+rw, though - 
there doesn't seem to be any reason why it would do this.

Strangely, I've now tried purging the fonts-extra package and after I run 
Reconfigure, the PDF options show in the export menu anyway (but don't stay 
there after I close LyX). I know I ran Reconfigure, without success, before I 
tried installing fonts-extra.

Well, maybe the package triggers caused regeneration of some files that made 
LyX happier. :-/

 Could you please attach the ~./lyx/configure.log for the setup where the
 export did not work?

Attached. This is when I ran it before installing texlive-fonts-extra. I've 
checked and it's identical to the configure.log after purging fonts-extra. Also 
attached is the configure.log when texlive-fonts-extras is installed.

Peace,
Brendon

Bug#597676: [lyx] Export to PDF requires texlive-fonts-extra package

2010-09-21 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: lyx
Version: 1.6.7-1
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

Hi. I noticed that you cannot export to PDF file from the File-Export menu 
unless texlive-fonts-extra is installed. Otherwise, there is no PDF output 
option listed. You don't need to be writing any special document; a new 
default article behaves the same. To get the File-Export-PDF (*) options you 
have to install texlive-fonts-extra, and then tell LyX it exists by doing a 
Tools-Reconfigure.

What's a bit weird is that you can still generate the preview PDF by clicking 
the View PDF toolbar button. This seems to work regardless of whether or not 
texlive-fonts-extra is installed. (Seems a bit suspicious to me, as if LyX 
doesn't really need texlive-fonts-extra to export to PDF, but insists on it 
anyway.)

Peace,
Brendon

Bug#586554: update-initramfs fails to generate initrd.img-2.6.32-5-686 in Debian testing when upgrading from 0.96 to 0.97

  I guess you're right. But I tried the script with exit 0 added at the

  where it was aborting, and it seemed to be at that test statement. When
  I changed it to an if ... fi clause, the problem ceased.
 
 That's odd, our testing went just fine.

Something really odd seems to be going on. It works without errors when I try 
this:
awk '{print $2}' $STATE_DIR/clean-files \
| while read file; do
echo ha
test -e ${DESTDIR}$file  rm -f ${DESTDIR}$file
echo ho
done

However, if I comment out the echo ho line, it fails. It's like the result 
of the test on that last line is erroneously propagating as the result of the 
loop, or something.

 Can you tell me what shell you are using?

/bin/sh links to dash. I just updated to the latest in unstable - problem 
remains. Users see bash.

I also noticed that both files listed in clean-files actually exist, both 
before 
and after I run update-initramfs. But the rm shouldn't return an error, and 
even if it does, adding an echo command after it shouldn't fix it. At least, I 
don't see why.

Really weird. :-S

Peace,
Brendon

 I had thought the same at first, but according to the bash man page, the
 `-e` option exits immediately if any *untested* command fails. A similar
 statement exists in the dash man page as well.
 
 The test -e command is protected by an , so a failure will not

Probably the easiest solution is to just turn that troublesome test -e line

if test -e ${DESTDIR}$file; then rm -f ${DESTDIR}$file; fi
or something similar.

You might have realised this already, but I felt that it's better to be safe

Bug#572837: continued anyway after pressing ESC at a prompt

2010-05-01 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: dar
Severity: normal

Hi again,

This bug is really only half fixed. The wording of the message is a bit clearer 
now, though it could be improved if the answer was Yes | No, for example, 
rather than OK | Cancel. Cancel implies cancelling an operation in progress 
(i.e. the program itself - this was my original interpretation of the message), 
rather than denying a proposed action.

But also, the regex the program is using to detect whether slices of old 
archives exists catches too many cases. Again I was in the situation where I 
had an archive titled such as example.large transforming to example. 
dar_xform has no need to complain about this situation. I can only presume the 
regex is parsing the .large part of the name as the slice number, rather the 
real slice number that immediately follows it.

Peace,
Brendon

Bug#577854: ipe: Editing circular arcs can lead to unrestrained memory allocation, eventual crash

2010-04-15 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: ipe
Version: 7.0.10-2
Severity: normal


Hi,

I'd recommend disabling swap before you try this. Steps to reproduce:

1. Enable snapping to the grid.
2. Create a circular arc using the centre and two points tool. Make it so the
two points are spaced along a vertical line.
3. Edit the arc (CTRL-E) and move one of the points so that it is horizontal
to the other point.

The centre will move out and, as soon as the two points are in a horizontal
line, ipe will immediately consume all RAM and (if you have it) start thrashing
swap space, making the machine quite unusable.

I would've reported it upstream, but they do not seem to accept unsolicited
communications of any kind (i.e. I'd have to sign up to bugzilla or subscribe
to the mailing list), which seem a bit rude to me.

Peace,
Brendon

Bug#575469: texlive-base: dvips fails to include font characters used in eps figure created by PyX

2010-03-25 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: texlive-base
Version: 2009-8
Severity: normal

The ghost of bug #266718 seems to be haunting me. I can't reproduce it using
the examples given in that original bug, but I am getting behaviour that sounds
basically identical if I generate EPS figures using PyX. The figures
themselves look fine, but when I generate PS files using dvips they come out
with missing glyphs.

A minimum working example
#
fig.py:
from pyx import *
c = canvas.canvas()
c.text(0, 0, Hello, world!)
c.writeEPSfile(fig.eps)

test.tex:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
Word.
\includegraphics{fig.eps}
Another word.
\end{document}

Run (python fig.py; latex test.tex; dvips test.dvi). When I do this the result
is missing several glyphs from Hello, world! I could guess that dvips is
failing to determine that fig.eps uses any glyphs, but I'm just uneducatedly
speculating.

I've discovered that can avoid the problem (not sure how this works) by using
PyX to output as a PDF rather than EPS, then running pdf2eps. dvips doesn't
seem to have a problem with that, then. That might suggest it has something to
do with the format of EPS PyX produces. (I don't know if this suggests this is
a PyX bug, though, as viewers such as Okular, Evince, and even GIMP display the
file just fine.)

Bug#572837: dar_xform continued anyway after pressing ESC at a prompt

2010-03-06 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: dar
Version: 2.3.9-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

I had a dar archive example.1.dar, and moved it to example.large.1.dar. I
wanted to use dar_xform to split the archive across multiple files (to fit on
an optical medium).

When I tried to use dar_xform (as in dar_xform -S 850M -s 1G example.large
example) it complained: At least one slice of an old archive with the same
basename remains in the directory . , If you do not remove these all first,
you will have difficulty identifying the last slice of the archive you are
about to create, because it may be hidden in between slices of this older
archive. Do we remove the old archive's slices first ? [return = OK | Esc =
cancel]

I'm sure I have no idea what it's talking about. This is possibly a bug in
it's own right - a bad regex picking up the wrong dot, perhaps. Anyway, I
pressed ESC, so I could assess the situation. Then dar_xform printed
Escaping... and performed the operation anyway!

I ended up with the split files I wanted, but dar_xform should've cancelled
when I asked it to.

Peace,
Brendon

Bug#570169: network-manager-gnome: nm-applet insists on re-enabling wireless networking when resuming from suspend to ram

2010-02-16 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 0.7.999-2
Severity: normal


Hi,

Before suspending my laptop to ram I manually disable wireless networking
using the nm-applet RMB menu. Upon resuming the machine later, nm-applet
immediately re-enables wireless networking and proceeds to connect to the
wireless network, ignoring the user's intentions.

The wireless network should not be enabled automatically if the user has
manually disabled it.

Currently this is just an annoyance for me (I'm trying to conserve power), but
one might imagine this behaviour is possibly dangerous, e.g. by resuming the
machine, thus enabling wireless, while on an aircraft in flight. (Unlikely to
do much, perhaps, but something to consider.)

Peace,
Brendon

Bug#551833: psmisc: pstree segfaults when given long options it doesn't recognise (e.g. --help)

2009-10-20 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: psmisc
Version: 22.8-1
Severity: normal


Hi,

I ran pstree --help and was greeted with a friendly segfault. Turns out this
happens for any long option that pstree doesn't recognise. (I'd suggest it
ought to recognise --help, but anyway...)

I've had a poke around the code, and is seems to me that the options struct
(lines 866-882) is not terminated correctly. According to the getopt_long
documentation, the array should be terminated with an element containing
all zeros, which pstree doesn't have. So, of course, getopt_long ends up
looking into memory that's none of its business.

Peace,
Brendon

Hi,

Twice in the space of a week I've seen behaviour identical to what's described 
in this bug report. I'm using 2.6.30. It might be triggered by sleeping the 
machine (a MacBook Pro, 2nd gen). No logs as it all happens with root 
(re)mounted read-only, and I'm afraid to test it much further already.

Bug#527121: printer-applet: error message client-error-bad-request pops up on every startup

2009-05-30 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: printer-applet
Version: 4:4.2.2-1
Severity: normal


I'm seeing the same problem every time I log in, only in English. :-) I'm using
a UTF-8 locale, AFAICT, so I don't think it's that. I have seen some strange
lines in /var/log/cups/error_log:
E [30/May/2009:21:11:41 +1000] Bad request line ^V^C^A from localhost!
for example (the ^V^C^A appear to be actual escape codes; I had to view the
file in less to see what they were).

Note that I'm quite sure I've only seen this come up after CUPS in testing
upgraded from 1.3.8 to 1.3.10; IIRC there was no problem before that. Of
course, it's possible that 1.3.8 just errored silently.

Peace,
Brendon

Package: bash-completion

Hi,

Try this:

touch filename with spaces
svk add filenTAB

The completion I get is svk add filename with spaces. Note that the
completion does not escape the spaces in the filename. When you try to run
the command, svk looks for the files filename, with, and spaces and,
of course, fails.

You should expect the completion to be svk add filename\ with\ spaces like
everything else.

2009-03-28 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: libsane-extras
Version: 1.0.19.15
Severity: minor


Here I am trying to figure out why my scanner doesn't work *again*, and I
discover that the recent upgrade of libsane-extras probably (from what I
can ascertain from the changelog) removed the epkowa.conf config file that
iscan needed to work.

*sigh*

It's like rubbing salt in the wound. Could you *please* check that another
package, i.e. iscan, doesn't already claim epkowa.conf before removing that
file, or at least check that iscan isn't installed, first?

(Yes, I had to modify the iscan package's control file, removing the
conflict, to get it to install. I'm sure I'm not the only one.)

Thanks,

 What's the exact package name? Is it just iscan?

That's right.

 Ah. You should have added a Replaces: libsane-extras, that would have
 worked better (iscan effectively taking ownership of the epkowa.conf
 conffile in that case).

*reads the docs* Whaddaya know. I thought a Replaces was a whole-package

 Hopefully we're at the end of the tunnel with this whole mess now, new

I haven't really followed the reasons, but it's a shame this mess had to

Bug#516537: wacom: X does not automatically translate tablet coords to screen coords in core events

2009-02-21 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: xserver-xorg-input-wacom
Version: 0.8.1.6-1
Severity: normal
File: wacom


Hi,

This report is a result of an investigation into weird tablet behaviour using
Krita and other Qt tablet software: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=184485

I'm running most packages from testing, except wacom packages from unstable,
and a whole bunch of KDE 4 stuff from experimental. I've been experiencing the
symptoms of this problem for some months, but I think I've finally got a  
handle on its source. 

The function xf86WcmDevConvert in xf86Wacom.c should be automatically called by
the Xorg server to translate from the device-space coordinates to screen
coordinates. There exists workaround code in the wacom driver that is disabled
when compiled against recent Xorg versions, as older Xorg versions did not
automatically call the conversion function (apparently).

However, when I run Xorg with Option CommonDBG 6 it's clear that
xf86WcmDevConvert is never called. When I compile the package from source (i.e.
dpkg-buildpackage), it's clear that the workaround is not being compiled in,
either.

This only affects core events, and doesn't effect software which does its own
conversion from raw tablet data. Presumably, this is why symptoms only appear
when using Qt, just because of the (I guess, unusual) way it disects tablet
events.

Peace,
Brendon

Bug#512362: runvdr crash handler does not handle the module dependency tree

2009-01-19 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: vdr
Version: 1.6.0-8
Severity: normal


I came across this while debugging a separate problem (which was being
triggered by this) with my dvb modules.

The runvdr script attempts to reload the dvb modules in the event that vdr
crashes. It does this by using lsmod to determine which modules directly
depend on dvb_core, and then attempting to rmmod and modprobe just those
modules plus dvb_core. This process does not take into account the fact that
multiple other modules may depend on those modules that runvdr attempts to
reload. The rmmod calls will fail in this case.

Getting this to work right would require traversing the module dependency
tree and running rmmod/modprobe for all of those modules.

Bug#507956: findimagedupes: Use of glob means folders with whitespace in their names are dropped

2008-12-05 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: findimagedupes
Version: 2.11-2
Severity: normal


Hi there,

Line 365 of findimagedupes perl script makes a call to glob that fails when the
path contains whitespace. find -type d -print0 | findimagedupes -0 - will
ignore files in those directories because of this.

The immediate solution might appear to be to use bsd_glob, but that only solves
the problem of folders with whitespace. Folders with other characters that are
meaningful to glob/bsd_glob will probably still have issues.

Temporary workaround (for my situation, at least) is to use find to generate
the full file list.

I'd help more but my knowledge of perl is mediocre at best. FWIW, I don't think
glob is necessary if an alternative folder content listing function can be
used.

Peace,
Brendon

 Now that Qt 4.4.3 is in Lenny, is the problem still there?

Bug#501006: kdelibs5 requires libpcre3 = 7.8

2008-10-03 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: kdelibs5
Version: 4:4.1.2-1
Severity: normal


Hi,

Currently kdelibs5 in experimental requires libpcre3 = 7.4, but this is
insufficient. One symptom I discovered is that in Konqueror JavaScript /xyzzy/
type regexps all fail with an uninformative error as soon as they are declared.
This has a pretty detrimental effect on any number of websites. Upgrading
libpcre3 from the version in testing (7.6) to unstable (7.8) fixes such
problems.

The dependency should probably be changed to = 7.8.

Peace,
Brendon

Bug#494162: Reproducible with nVidia MCP55 HDA, mplayer + stress

2008-09-26 Thread Brendon Higgins
Hi,

I find this problem completely reproducible by running the stress program (from 
the stress package).

Do this:
(1) Open a terminal, run mplayer SOMEaudioFILE.ogg
Audio output is typically okay at this point (at least for me).

(2) Open another terminal, run stress -c [noOFtotalCPUcores]
In my case, that's 2.

When you do this, the stuttering begins (and is very, very bad). Not only 
that, all process (apart from stress) perform very poorly. It seems like the 
scheduler is (almost completely) ignoring all other processes in favour of the 
one that is already using 100% CPU.

It seems, though, that if the number of stress-spawned processes is not the 
same as the number of cores, e.g. 1 or 3, then the problem is not nearly as 
bad, even though the processes are stressing the CPU. For example, when I run 
stress -c 3, CPU usage on both cores is in total 100%, yet the sound output is 
much better and other processes are much more responsive, however a stutter 
can be heard now and then. When you crank the number of stress processes to 
something ridiculous, say 30, sound output is even better! I might have heard 
a single stutter during this test, I'm not even sure (while 2 cores are 
running at 100% total each, I think this is pretty good). UI responsiveness is 
somewhat worse, though.

Maybe this is what is causing the stutter under normal use: Some app spikes in 
CPU usage for a short period, causing the audio process(es) to be stalled, 
thus the stuttering. The behaviour affects all process, but audio being what it 
is, that is where it's readily obvious that something is wrong.

I probably should say I was under the impression that under general use the 
stuttering was a lot worse when I first encountered it (when I first tried 
2.6.26) than it is now, so something has improved.

If you do any of the above in 2.6.25 there is no problem whatsoever. No 
stuttering. Even the UI is much more responsive, for any number of processes, 
than in 2.6.26. I'd go so far as to state that 2.6.25 is more responsive under 
load than 2.6.26, which sounds a lot like a regression to me.

 No, nothing like that. The printers listed are the usual list I would

 office). The Location and Type fields correspond to those printers,
 there's no other fields, and no indication anywhere that they are set to
 some write-to-file mode.

 Interestingly, though, it only lists the printers configured in CUPS, and
 doesn't have the extra options that KPDF has (like Print to File
 (PDF), Send to Fax, etc). KPDF has no trouble printing, FWIW.

 Ah, new info: The file is only overwritten when it lives in the home
 directory. When the file is anywhere else (including subdirectories) it is
 not overwritten, however a file of the same name is created in ~.

 I've just had a poke around at upstream bugtracker. I suspect it might be
 related to this: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162793 , which I
 notice you've already noticed. :-) Qt 4.4.1 is still in experimental,
 though. I could give it a try.

Bug#494162: linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64: Sound stuttering in 2.6.26 ruins desktop experience

2008-09-01 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64
Version: 2.6.26-4
Followup-For: Bug #494162



Ah, so this is why Amarok skips and stutters whenever I switch tabs (or do 
anything, really), today. Sure enough, in 2.6.25 all is fine.

Any chance more attention (higher severity?) might be put on this? It's pretty 
jarring to the user, and does a complete disservice to the perception of 
ability of Linux on the desktop. It would be very unfortunate (sadly laughable, 
IMO) if Lenny were released with this bug.

Peace,
Brendon

Bug#497482: okular: Printing a PDF causes the file to be overwritten with a PS conversion, nothing printed

2008-09-01 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: okular
Version: 0.7-2
Severity: normal


FWIW, I'm running Okular on a primarily KDE 3 host, so this might be some kind 
of
incompatibility thing. I'm not sure.

Trying to print a PDF document fails. There is no error message, but after
clicking Print, Okular spends a bit of time doing some processing, after
which no job is sent to the print queue. Okular then attempts to reload the
document and fails without an error message - just the default big blank grey
no document loaded yet panel.

What has happened is that something during this process has overwritten the
..pdf file with a postscript conversion. When Okular attempts to reload the
file, I guess it runs into #496669, tries the wrong backend, and fails.

Overwriting files like this is quite rude of Okular, IMO.

Peace,
Brendon

Bug#477665: aptitude: --download-only (or -d) not honoured in interactive mode

2008-07-22 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.4-1
Followup-For: Bug #477665


I just installed KDE 4 prematurely because of this bug. I did not expect that 
running
'sudo aptitude -d install -t experimental kde4-minimal', then pressing 'e' to 
massage
some package versions manually in interactive mode, would cause the '-d' to 
become
ignored.

(All I wanted was to make efficient use of my internet quota, and maybe try KDE 
4
later in the week. *Maybe.* I get to try it ealier, it seems.)

IMO, this is not a wishlist, but a bug (of at least normal severity). If nothing
else, any sort of warning would have been useful.

Peace,
Brendon

Bug#491983: koffice: experimental packages attempt to overwrite files in old *-data packages

2008-07-22 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: koffice
Version: 1:1.9.96.0~that.is.really.1.9.95.9-1

In the process of installing KDE 4 stuff, I got this:

I had to use a force flag in dpkg.conf to get it to install.

If I'm not mistaken, kivio should conflict with kivio-data (KDE3 version) and 
kpresenter conflict with kpresenter-data
(KDE3 version), to ensure they are removed before kivio and kpresenter are 
installed.

Bug#489987: kpdf: KPDF refuses to open files that do not have the correct extension

2008-07-08 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: kpdf
Version: 4:3.5.9-1+b2
Severity: minor


Take any pdf file that already works in KPDF. Rename it to change its extension
from .pdf to something else; for example, file.pdf.bak works. Start KPDF and
attempt to open the file (the file dialog won't list it, so you have to force
it a bit by typing the name manually or entering a different filter). KPDF says
Error Could not open ..etc..

Of course, KPDF is lying - it could open the file if it wanted to. It just
doesn't want to because the extension is different. (Will not open .. would
be a truer statement...)

As you might guess, I wanted to view a .pdf.bak file when I found this bug,
but it happens on all sorts of extensions. Without extension seems to work
okay, though.

Peace,
Brendon

Bug#475170: #475170: Unuseable on amd64 - Intel chipset vs AMD chipset?

2008-06-14 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: axiom
Version: 20050901-10
Followup-For: Bug #475170


Hi,

I tried to run axiom and ran into this bug. I've tested it on three machines. 
The first is an Intel Core2 Duo. The other two are AMD 
Athlon64s. I found that on the Athlons Axiom starts without any problems, but 
on the Core2 it fails. Has anyone tried an Athlon chip 
and had it fail?

FWIW, I'm also getting problems trying to build from scratch axiom (segfaults 
at some point during the build, while it's doing 
something involving lisp), as well as gcl (hits an error in configure). But 
building axiom on an AMD chip seems to work.

/proc/cpuinfo for two of the CPUs I've tried follows (the two AMD CPUs are 
almost identical).

Peace,
Brendon

Good news. After updating the python2.5 package to 2.5.2-6 I can no longer 
reproduce this problem. It seems something between 2.5.2-1 and 2.5.2-6 fixed 
whatever was causing this.

Bug#480657: python-opengl: Using glutDisplayFunc and glutKeyboardFunc causes Segmentation Fault in glutMainLoop

2008-05-21 Thread Brendon Higgins
Hi,

Some more information I've discovered about this bug:

1) A test on a friend's 32-bit PowerPC machine didn't reproduce it. (Maybe a 
64-bit issue?)

2) The following equivalent C code does not reproduce it:

#include GL/glut.h
#include stdio.h

void disFunc() {
printf(disFunc\n);
fflush(stdout);
}

void keyFunc(unsigned char c, int a, int b) {
printf(keyFunc\n);
fflush(stdout);
}

int main(int argc, char** args) {
glutInit(argc, args);
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_RGB);
glutInitWindowSize(640, 480);
glutCreateWindow(appname);
glutDisplayFunc(disFunc);
glutKeyboardFunc(keyFunc);
glutMainLoop();
return 0;
}

That suggests that it's something about the OpenGL wrapper itself.

Peace,
Brendon

FYI, I have a clearer idea what was actually happening: Even though linux 
2.6.25-2 was installed, I was running 2.6.25-1 because update-grub hadn't 
been called when 2.6.25-2 was installed. Then, even though update-initramfs 
was being called, it was working on the latest 2.6.25-2 image (I think), 
which is why running update-initramfs -u (even manually) seemed to do 
nothing.

Now for me to work out why update-grub doesn't get called... *glares at

I purged usplash (due to bugs #468735 and #478296), but on next boot the same

before going back to text mode to complete the boot process (start services,

Bug#481291: kate: Spellcheck replacing words at the static word wrap limit with longer corrections causes havoc

2008-05-14 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: kate
Version: 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-2+b1
Severity: normal


To reproduce:
Start kate.
Turn on static word wrapping at 80 columns.
Duplicate the following line several times (5 or so is sufficient):
test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test a tes
 That line should just touch the static word wrap limit.
Perform a spellcheck and replace each instance of tes with a longer suggestion
(the default suggestion I'm presented with is Tess).

As the spellcheck replaces the first word you should see the static word wrap
doing it's job and moving the word to the next line. However, when it comes to
the next instance of tes, the context highlighting of the word is missing, and
upon replacement a whole bunch of whitespace plus a new Tess is inserted
between the first a and the other Tess, and the remaining lines stay
unchanged and uncorrected. This occurs similarly for subsequent spellcheck
replacements.

I've tried to describe it, but it's probably easier to just see for yourself.

It's as if there are two buffers of text, one for kate and one for the
spellchecker backend, that lose sync when the static word wrap does it's work.
Interestingly, it seems to not be a problem if the unrecognised word (tes) is
somewhere in the middle of the line. It's only a problem if the word is at the
end of the line.

I originally discovered this in kile, and since confirmed it also appears in
kate, so it's probably an issue with the editor part. I haven't a clue if the
KDE 4 apps handle any better.

Peace,
Brendon

Bug#480657: python-opengl: Using glutDisplayFunc and glutKeyboardFunc causes Segmentation Fault in glutMainLoop

2008-05-11 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: python-opengl
Version: 3.0.0~b1-2
Severity: normal


When the default python version in testing changed to 2.5 I found a program I 
had written failed with
segmentation faults. I've narrowed down the bug. The following is the smallest 
reasonable piece of
code which will cause the segfault:

from OpenGL.GLUT import *
glutInit([appname])
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_RGB)
glutInitWindowSize(640, 480);
glutCreateWindow(appname)

def disFunc():
print disFunc

def keyFunc(*args):
print keyFunc

glutDisplayFunc(disFunc)
glutKeyboardFunc(keyFunc)
glutMainLoop()


Pasting the code into python interactive mode demonstrates the problem as well 
as using a .py file.
Python will segfault as soon as it enters the glutMainLoop function. If either

Bug#479520: qtiplot failure to start is caused by missing dependencies

2008-05-08 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: qtiplot
Version: 0.9.3-1
Followup-For: Bug #479520


Hi there,

I have also encountered the problem with qtiplot not starting since libqt4-gui
was updated. You can fix this problem by installing the libqt4-assistant
package. (I also had to install the libqt4-opengl package, same reason.)

It appears that libraries that were once in libqt4-gui have moved into their
own packages. qtiplot should include them as package dependencies.

In the meantime, installing the packages manually seems to make things work.

Peace,
Brendon

Bug#476135: xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd: strange screen size calculations

2008-04-14 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd
Version: 1.2.0-1
Followup-For: Bug #476135


Hi,

I noticed a similar weird DPI result in my Xorg.0.log, and I suspect the 
Virtual setting (Framebuffer size). My guess 
is that the driver is assuming the entire framebuffer is viewable on screen, 
which is not correct. In my case, I've 
extended the virtual screen to accommodate a second monitor.

My hunch is confirmed when I commented-out the Virtual setting in Xorg.conf. 
Whereas I got this with my manually 
extended framebuffer:
(II) RADEONHD(0): Using 2720x1024 Framebuffer with 2752 pitch
(**) RADEONHD(0): Display dimensions: (340, 220) mm
(**) RADEONHD(0): DPI set to (203, 118)

I got this using the default framebuffer size:
(II) RADEONHD(0): Using 1440x1440 Framebuffer with 1472 pitch
(**) RADEONHD(0): Display dimensions: (340, 220) mm
(**) RADEONHD(0): DPI set to (107, 166)

Of course, in both cases the on-screen resolution was 1440x900.

I'm not sure what's going on with the physical sizes. Perhaps this DPI thing is 
a separate bug?

Hope that's useful,
Brendon

Bug#476198: xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd: Cannot turn on a secondary screen without restarting X (xrandr-related problem)

2008-04-14 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd
Version: 1.2.0-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

Not sure if this is a driver issue or a problem with xrandr itself. Please help 
point it in the right direction.

In order to utilise a secondary screen I find that it must be plugged in at the 
point that the X server starts. If it's 
plugged in, xrandr can adjust it without problems. If it's not plugged in  when 
the X server starts, but plugged in 
later, xrandr will fail to turn it on.

Additionally, if xrandr is used to turn the screen off (xrandr --display FOO 
--off), it will fail to turn it back on 
afterwards.

This is what the I see with the monitor plugged in only after X server restart:
$ xrandr --output DVI-I_1/analog --right-of PANEL --auto
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  155 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  21 ()
  Serial number of failed request:  18
  Current serial number in output stream:  18

And this is what I see when the monitor is plugged in before X starts:
$ xrandr --output DVI-I_1/analog --right-of PANEL --auto
(Everything works as expected.)
$ xrandr --output DVI-I_1/analog --off
(Monitor puts itself into sleep mode, as expected.)
$ xrandr --output DVI-I_1/analog --right-of PANEL --auto
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  155 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  21 ()
  Serial number of failed request:  18
  Current serial number in output stream:  18

In both cases after the failed xrandr, the window manager (kwin) handles as if 
it was successful, extending maximised 
windows to the full width of the framebuffer, etc.

This has been a problem for a while now; at least the previous version also had 
this problem.

I can send the contents of Xorg.0.log at various stages if they may be helpful. 
(I've had a look at diffs of them 
myself, though I didn't spot anthing that would obviously be useful.)

Peace,
Brendon

Bug#457903: linux-uvc-source: Makefile should really not call depmod

2008-03-13 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: linux-uvc-source
Version: 0.1.0.svn193-1
Followup-For: Bug #457903



Makefile is still calling depmod, even in 0.1.0.svn193-1.

If it really must call depmod, could it at least be an absolute path
/sbin/depmod instead? Normal users don't have this in PATH, so despite
fakeroot, m-a fails when it can't find the depmod command. (At least, that's
why I think my builds keep failing with that error message. Building as root
is unnecessarily icky, although it works.)

Bug#466174: inkscape: Inkscape blocks when launching konqueror to view the manual and other help items

2008-02-16 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: inkscape
Version: 0.45.1-1
Severity: normal

Hi. My default web browser is set to Konqueror. When I go to the help menu in
Inkscape and select, for example, Manual, Inkscape launches Konqueror to
display the manual. If I then minimise Konqueror and go back to Inkscape,
Inkscape has stopped responding. It doesn't even redraw properly (big black box
where the drawing page should be). It's as if it ran konqueror path/to/manual
as opposed to konqueror path/to/manual .

When I quit Konqueror, Inkscape comes back to life.

Don't know if the behaviour is specific to Konqueror or not.

Peace,
Brendon

Bug#459344: /etc/cron.daily/apt exits with return code 1, despite being configured to do nothing

2008-01-15 Thread Brendon Higgins
Luke,

I'm sorry, but I believe you don't fully appreciate what the issue actually 
is. That is the only explanation I've come up with that might account for the 
amount of irrelevant verbiage in your last email (assuming you're not a 
troll - big assumption, considering the rather grand claims you make). Let's 
establish some facts:

apt provides this file: /etc/cron.daily/apt (This is the file I was referring 
to in my email when I said cron script. Sorry if that confused you.) This 
file is then run daily by cron (or through anacron, when it gets a chance) as 
root. So permissions is not an issue.

Starting at line 176 of that script we have the following code:
# check if we can lock the cache and if the cache is clean
if ! apt-get check -q -q 2/dev/null; then
echo $0: could not lock the APT cache
exit 1
fi

Usually when this script is run, apt-get can get the 
lockfile /var/lib/dpkg/lock, the above code succeeds, the remaining code in 
the script, by default, does nothing significant, and everyone is happy.

However, assume now that the user just happens to be running (as root, or 
under sudo) an aptitude (or even apt-get) process while this cron job 
attempts to run. aptitude locks the apt cache while it is running. The 
apt-get check command will then fail as the cache is already locked. It will 
print out the following string (which promptly gets sent to the great bit 
bucket in the sky):
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily 
unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another 
process using it?

It's guess is completely correct, of course. Another process does hold the 
lock. This failure, however, causes the cron.daily/apt script to then exit 
with status 1 (the same behaviour as /bin/false, which is what Francesco was 
talking about), and this in turn causes (ana)cron to send an email 
notification to root (and whichever user that mail forwards to) complaining 
that the script failed (exit 1) and with the message that it could not lock 
the APT cache.

This is all by default, remember, where no files should be autoupdated anyway. 
All the user has to do is be running a process like apt-get or aptitude that 
locks the cache.

Now the user is being notified about errors occurring in /etc/cron.daily/apt 
when 1. they never did anything out of the ordinary, and 2. that script 
shouldn't be trying to do anything anyway. Why should the user be notified 
about this? I agree with you that this is a nuisance, not mission critical. 
However, this is default behaviour of the apt package, and not entirely on 
the user end, and so it should be addressed like any other packaged 
nuisance.

I suspect the solution involves checking the output of apt-get check -q -q. 
For example, when there actually *is* a problem with permissions, the 
resulting message is:
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
It looks like checking that string (or maybe the return value itself?) might 
be a possible solution. But I don't know nearly enough about apt's error 
messages to confidently make that call. I'll leave that up to the developers 
to think about.

Peace,
Brendon

 Francesco,

 I read the original message over again and the obvious diagnosis is that
 somewhere on the host system, permissions are not properly set. Since the
 days of UNIX it has been proper to establish a wheel, which is a group user
 ID that owns processes and daemons, and that also has a very low ID with an
 invisible password. I cannot see whether you have established a password
 shadow file. I do not know whether your system is on a local area network.
 Are you running CVS? RCS? Subversion? Do you know how to lock and unlock
 files? Do you have root access, or at the least superuser privileges? Is

Bug#459344: /etc/cron.daily/apt exits with return code 1, despite being configured to do nothing

2008-01-14 Thread Brendon Higgins
Hi,

It doesn't appear to be the case that the cron script is actually doing any 
updating by default.

I think this bug boils down to this: The apt cron script conflicts with an 
already running apt (or aptitude) process. If the user is running apt, this 
situation is not at all an error, the cron script just chose an inconvenient 
time to be run. If the default behaviour is for the cron script to run, the 
script should not just blindly report an error and exit 1, as the reports 
that generates are confusing for users. (Sure made me wonder what the hell 
was wrong.)

And what kind of elitist garbage is it to then tell your legitimately confused 
users to go read a book and fix the problem-by-default themselves?

That's my take on it.

Peace,
Brendon

Bug#454568: [Linuxwacom-discuss] Bug#454568: xserver-xorg-input-wacom + ksmserver = X crash

2007-12-07 Thread Brendon Higgins
Thank you. I didn't expect that to work (seeing how simple kcminputrc is), but 
it did! Add another one to the tally.

This result is kinda perplexing, though. My first suspicion was that perhaps 
something adjusting the mouse parameters was the culprit, so I removed the 
[Mouse] section and tried that. Even with only the [Keyboard] section in the 
file the problem persists. It seems only when the entire file is gone I can 
login without hiccup.

So this is a workaround. Not perfect since I can't set startup numlock status 
or mouse acceleration threshold, but these aren't too important.

Peace,
Brendon

Dirk Bierfeld wrote (Fri, 7 Dec 2007):
 A friend of mine had the same problem that KDE causes an X crash. He
 figured out that when removing ~/user/.kde/share/config/kcminputrc KDE
 will start without any problem. Perhaps that will hepl. I either havn't
 Xorg 7.3 nor KDE so I can't proof it, but it worked for someone else too
 at least.

Hi. I found the reason that the 1.5.8 package appears to contain 1.5.7 code.
dosage_1.5.8.orig.tar.gz is indeed 1.5.8, however dosage_1.5.8-1.diff.gz reverts
the entire hierarchy back to 1.5.7. That diff is pretty seriously broken.

2007-09-28 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: dosage
Version: 1.5.8-1
Severity: normal


Hi,

It looks like the version uploaded as 1.5.8-1 is actually dosage version 1.5.7. 
You can tell by the number in 
/usr/share/pycentral/dosage/site-packages/dosage/version.py, and also comparing 
the comics modules to 1.5.8 from upstream (for example, there are clearly 
many more comic submodules in the KeenSpot module in upstream than in this 
package).

Bug#377447: appletouch trackpad is ignored (internal USB, 5 mo 14 iBook)

2007-08-07 Thread Brendon Higgins
Hi there,

I'm still having this problem but I noticed something weird today. I haven't 
had a chance to look into it in much detail yet, and won't for at least 
another few days, but I thought it'd be worth mentioning now.

Occasionally when I put the machine to sleep, then open it up again, the 
trackpad loses all my settings, and goes back to the defaults: one-touch 
click (which I hate), etc. If I sleep the machine and open it again it 
usually remembers the settings again.

The strange thing I found today was that when it does lose the settings, *the 
trackpad properly registers with pbbuttonsd and is able to bring the machine 
out of the dark-screen state*. When I sleep the machine and open it up again, 
my trackpad settings come back, but pbbuttons stops responding to it again.

I haven't tried staying with defaults when X boots or anything else. Like I 
said, I haven't gotten a chance yet.

Hope this is useful,
Brendon

Bug#400481: mol-source doesn't build modules on current kernels

2007-07-22 Thread Brendon Higgins

Hi,

mol-source *still* doesn't build on recent kernels. 2.6.21 has entered
testing now, necessitating recompilation of mol modules, but also
making mol-source unusable. This is hardly acceptable considering a
patch has been available for 8 months.

Can someone please apply the patch?

Bug#414243: arts: First start resets Treble/Bass settings of the sound card

2007-03-10 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: arts
Version: 1.5.5-1
Severity: normal

When I switch my machine on for the first time and login to KDE, as soon as 
arts starts it resets 
Treble and Bass settings to the default 50/50, no matter what I've set them to 
before. This only 
happens the first time arts is started on the machine for each reboot.

I've narrowed it down to arts because I can login to the console before logging 
into KDE and set the 
Bass setting. Then I examine the output of while true; do amixer get Bass  
out; ps ax  out; sleep 
1; done. Conspicuously, arts starts the second before Bass goes from (eg) 40% 
to 50%.

What's weird is the fact that this only happens once each time the machine is 
started. If I set the 
Bass setting to something else, kill and restart artsd, it doesn't touch the 
setting. It's only when 
artsd is started for the first time that it resets the Bass and Treble.

Bug#410373: kde-style-polyester: Yellow window buttons

2007-02-10 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: kde-style-polyester
Version: 1.0~beta1-1
Severity: normal


The buttons on the top of windows using the polyester style are bright yellow, 
except for the icons on 
the buttons themselves. Example attached. It happens on all windows.

Changing the button style in the polyester settings seems to affect the icons, 
but not the yellow 
surrounding.

This occurs on a PowerPC machine. I'm also running an AMD64 box with a similar 
setup, and the problem 
doesn't appear there. So my first guess would be an endianness issue.

Sorry, Frank. Please reopen this bug. I've checked with the latest pbbuttonsd 
and xorg in sid (other packages from testing). When unplugged from the power 
supply, the screen still goes dark and eventually the machine goes to sleep 
*regardless* of *any* use of the trackpad. So it would seem the work-around 
doesn't.

I'm sad to say I had luck with the fix. I pulled the new version from unstable 
and am giving it a whirl, but it still appears that the trackpad is ignored 
just like before. It might be worth keeping in mind that I haven't managed to 
update Xorg to the latest version in testing yet, so if the problem is still 
Xorg in the way I guess that might change. I'll let you know if it does once 
I finish downloading Xorg.

Hi Matthias,

On 31/07/06, Matthias Grimm [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Do you use the XOrg with the synaptics trackpad driver?


Yes, I do.


This driver has a known problem. It opens the event device for the
trackpad exclusively and block it for any other application. In this
case pbbuttonsd can't open the event device for the trackpad and
therefore won't get events from it.


I see. It makes me wonder what the reasoning for doing that is.


There is a patch for the synaptics driver out to solve this, but I
don't have it at hand. Please file a bugreport to Xorg and the package
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics too. Maybe they will fix the problem one
day and use a cooperative way to read trackpad events.


I will do that. Thanks for your help.

Peace,
Brendon

Bug#380705: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics: opens event device exclusively, blocking other apps

2006-07-31 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Version: 0.14.6-1
Severity: normal

This presented itself to me originally as a problem with pbbuttonsd (see bug
#377447), as that daemon seemed to not notice when I moved the trackpad, so it
would suspend the machine even while I was using it. The maintainer of
pbbuttonsd claims this is a known bug in the synaptics driver.

The cause (apparently) is that thhe synaptics driver opens the event device
exclusively, so pbbuttonsd can't read any events from it. This would certainly
cause the problem. Apparently there's a patch floating around, too (no idea
where, though. I wouldn't think opening an event device exclusively would be
standard behaviour.

Brendon

Bug#377751: aptitude crashes when retrieving packages from multiple DVDs

2006-07-19 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.1-1.1
Followup-For: Bug #377751


I've also seen this, on both of my own machines: a powerpc (iBook) and an
amd64. If for example I install libgamin-dev, which lives on DVD3, it depends
on libgamin0 and gamin, which live on DVD1. Reading the first DVD and install
those goes along fine, then aptitude asks for the next DVD, insert it, click
Continue, and a SEGFAULT appears back at the shell.

When using aptitude by the command line interface it is apparent that the
SEGFAULT occurs in a seperate thread *before* the prompt asking for the other
DVD.

When apt-get is used in the same manner, no SEGFAULT occurs.

I grabbed a core file from one instance of this happening on my powerpc. It's
50MB big, so I'll just attach gdb's backtrace. Hope this helps.

Peace,
Brendon

Bug#377447: appletouch trackpad is ignored (internal USB, 5 mo 14 iBook)

2006-07-08 Thread Brendon Higgins

Package: pbbuttonsd
Version: 0.7.5-2
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

This sounds a lot like problems people have had in the past with external
mouses. Moving the pointer with the internal trackpad does nothing to stop
pbbuttonsd darkening the screen and eventually sending the machine to sleep.
Typing prevents this as you would expect.

I've heard that iBooks only recently put the trackpad on USB, so I'm
thinking that might have something to do with it. I saw autorescan in
README.Debian so I went to enable that only to find that it was already
enabled. Not sure what else to try.

I'm happy to send ls* or logs or whatever might help. A couple are below.

Peace,
Brendon

Bug#311802: #311802: nvidia-kernel-source: had to run depmod manually after reboot

2006-07-04 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: nvidia-kernel-source
Version: 1.0.8762-2
Followup-For: Bug #311802


Closely related to this is the fact that newer kernels no longer run depmod on
boot. See http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2006/06/msg00535.html;.

nvidia-kernel packages should run depmod in postinst. Attached is a patch to
nvidia-graphics-drivers that implements this. All it does is uncomment the
dh_installmodules line. dh_installmodules adds the logic to do the depmod for
the right kernel version in postinst.

Peace,
Brendon

Bug#373646: compiling em8300 with module-assistant would be nice

2006-06-18 Thread Brendon Higgins
Hi Lance,

What you have there looks like problems em8300 0.15.1 has with recent kernels, 
rather than a problem with module-assistant. I think 0.15.1 has problems with 
anything beyond 2.6.13 linux. (Which is why I'd like to have it updated ASAP. 
Unfortunately, I'm not a Debian dev, so I'm relying on Nicolas who seems to 
have been busy elsewhere, as of late.)

But looking at the changes I've made updating the em8300 package, it looks 
like I did have to do something to get m-a doing things properly.

Anyway, m-a support is something that has been worked on, and will be in the 
next revision, along with a bunch of other fixes.

Peace,
Brendon

Bug#373646: compiling em8300 with module-assistant would be nice

2006-06-16 Thread Brendon Higgins
Hi! I'm helping the maintainer Nicolas update of this package. (I ought to 
prod him about it again, actually ;-) )

Lance Simmons wrote (Thursday 15 June 2006 5:14 am):
 I've noticed that more and more modules can be compiled using
 module-assistant. It would be great if em8300 were one of them.  I've no
 idea how much of a pain it would be for the maintainer to arrange that, but
 from the end-user's perspective, module-assistant is a great thing.

Indeed it is. I've been using module-assistant to compile it for a while, and 
I don't recall doing anything special to get that working. IIRC, it was just 
already in the list. Have you actually tried using m-a to compile it? What 
was the result?

Peace,
Brendon

Bug#373141: pinball: 0.3.1-5+b1 uninstallable

2006-06-12 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: pinball
Version: 0.3.1-5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

pinball has a source-versioned depends on pinball data. Thus,
pinball 0.3.1-5+b1 depends on pinball-data 0.3.1-5+b1, which doesn't exist
(wasn't rebuilt along with pinball, apparently), thus rendering pinball
unable to satisfy its dependencies and so uninstallable.

Bug#367447: kpdf: Crashes on Springer Handbook of Nanotechnology PDFs

2006-05-26 Thread Brendon Higgins
Howdy,

Something interesting happened. I was reading another unrelated PDF in KPDF, 
then tried loading one of my bad PDFs in KPDF after forgetting that it 
crashes. KPDF didn't crash. The bad PDF worked fine. The contents list seems 
to work, though when clicking on a topic not in the current file, KPDF closes 
the file and then complains that it couldn't load the new one. (It would 
probably be a good idea to check first. I had to load the file again.)

KPDF doesn't work if I start it and *then* open the bad PDF - it crashes. KPDF 
doesn't work if I start by clicking on a bad PDF in konqueror, or by 
specifying it on the command line - crashes. KPDF *does* work if I've 
successfully loaded another PDF (good or bad) beforehand.

Peace,
Brendon

Bug#338537: #338537: mffm-fftw: file conflict between mffm-fftw1c2 and mffm-fftw1

2006-05-20 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: mffm-fftw1c2
Version: 1.6-1
Followup-For: Bug #338537


I just upgraded wsola, which now depends on mffm-fftw1c2. Breakage ensues.

The right way to fix it is probably the same way the other c2 packages fixed 
this sort of thing; with a Conflict: 
mffm-fftw1 in mffm-fftw1c2 control.

Peace,
Brendon
