Bug#1069743: Removal of features from default keepassxc package

[James Lu]

Hi,

Chiming in as another regular keepassxc user. When I first saw the 
keepassxc / keepassxc-full split I did not think much of it. But reading 
the comments on the upstream issue has gotten me frustrated.


Please consider resolving this in a way that doesn't break existing 
installations. It's easy to catch these changes when they're presented 
one-by-one when upgrading e.g. a system running testing regularly, but 
they're far more likely to miss when dozens of packages update all at 
once with the next stable release. Either the minimal package should 
only be applied as default for new installations, or the minimal package 
should explicitly warn when attempting to use a feature that's unavailable.


The second part I take issue with is the wording with which this is 
being communicated. There is no need to use charged terminology like 
"feature creep"[1], "crappy version"[2], or "use at your own risk"[3] 
when describing variants. This reads as disrespectful to both upstream 
and the userbase at large - let people decide for themselves what 
features are useful instead of dismissing their use-case outright.

Bug#1057763: qt5-style-kvantum: add Qt 6 build

[James Lu]

Source: qt5-style-kvantum
Version: 1.0.10-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Dear maintainers,

As apps inside Debian migrate from Qt 5 to Qt 6, I noticed that my theme 
configuration stopped working due to missing theme engines on Qt 6.


Kvantum already supports Qt 6, though it's currently a compile time 
option (ENABLE_QT5) that enables one or the other. I've created a merge 
request[1] that adapts the package to run two separate package builds, 
one against Qt 5, and another against Qt 6. As far as I can tell, the 
Arch package[2] uses a similar approach.


I've built and tested the package locally, and it seems to work - tested 
against audacious and wireshark in unstable with the materia-kde theme. 
Changing the active theme in Kvantum Manager updates both Qt 5 and 6 
simultaneously, so it's more or less transparent.

Hi all,

I've made a branch of the packaging sources on Salsa and opened a merge 
request at

For me, the big game-changer in b6 is integrated SPICE audio support 
using either PipeWire or PulseAudio - this is way easier to configure 
compared to QEMU audio backends. I've built + tested this on a couple of 
Windows 10 VMs and it seems to be working fine.


Looking Glass is one of the key apps that let me use Linux as my daily 
driver, and I'd be happy to co-maintain the package as well.

Bug#981617: RM: exe-thumbnailer -- ROM; superseded by icoextract

[James Lu]

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Dear ftp-masters,

exe-thumbnailer has been superseded by icoextract in sid, which provides
equivalent functionality in the icoextract-thumbnailer package.
Currently src:exe-thumbnailer only includes a dummy transitional package
(gnome-exe-thumbnailer) carried over from stretch.

I've been the upstream maintainer of exe-thumbnailer since 2016 after
taking over from the original Ubuntu upstream. icoextract is a rewrite
of the project in Python that has much better support for large files
and 256x256 (Vista+) app icons.

James

Bug#947199: ITP: icoextract -- icon extractor for Windows PE files

  Description : icon extractor for Windows PE files

icoextract is an icon extractor for Windows PE files (.exe/.dll),
written in Python. It also includes a thumbnailer script
(exe-thumbnailer) for Linux desktops.

This project is intended to supersede the current exe-thumbnailer[1],
which has technical limitations such as not supporting 256x256 (Vista+)
icons.

This package will be maintained in the Debian Wine Team.

[James Lu]

Control: tags 931728 - patch
Control: severity 931728 wishlist
Control: retitle 931728 Allow disabling online access features

In version 0.7.2-2 I backported a patch adding a privacy policy notice
to Variety's first start - hopefully this addresses the transparency
part of what data Variety collects in order to function.

Unfortunately upstream does not consider a complete offline mode to be a
priority, since the bulk of Variety's features would become unusable.

Bug#902288: GNOME/nautilus thumbnail helper script from /usr/share/thumbnailers fails with ENOENT due to bwrap

[James Lu]

Hello,

It would appear that this affects exe-thumbnailer[1] too: the default
bwrap settings cause thumbnails to be missing entirely on buster / GNOME
3.30.

This issue is fairly new to me, so I'll have to look at what calls in
particular are causing issues with the sandbox. (exe-thumbnailer wraps
around imagemagick, icotools, and msitools to do the bulk of its work,
so it be one of its subprocesses too.)

Hi,

It looks like you're trying to install the Wine packages from WineHQ,
which are not the same ones provided by Debian. It doesn't look like the
WineHQ repository has been updated for Bullseye yet, so it's likely
you'll have to wait for them to add those missing builds.

Bug#931728: variety: privacy breach in variety

[James Lu]

Control: tags -1 + help

A brief trip upstream reveals that the settings fetching is to (1) rate
limit API calls to prevent going over limits (2) provide usage
statistics for remote APIs that mandate them.

These are sort of tied to the online fetching bits of Variety, so
perhaps a solution might be to have a confirmation window at first run
to opt-in to the online features. I want to work on this soon, but my
knowledge of GTK and Variety's config system aren't super thorough...

Best,
James

Bug#928154: qt5ct: very slow startup due to enumerating icon themes

[James Lu]

Package: qt5ct
Version: 0.37-1
Severity: normal

Dear maintainers,

On my system I have several large icon themes installed (Numix-Circle,
Moka, Papirus, ...), and this causes qt5ct to start up very slowly.

Running qt5ct in gdb and breaking during the delay consistently points
to IconThemePage::findIcon being called a lot.

Bug#928089: Acknowledgement (chromium: crash when opening a new instance)

[James Lu]

OK, I admit I forgot to check the bug list.

I do believe this should be a higher severity, since it can result in
actual work being lost (web forms, etc.). This would also warn people
with apt-listbugs installed when they try to upgrade the package.

James

Bug#928089: chromium: crash when opening a new instance

[James Lu]

Package: chromium
Version: 74.0.3729.108-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders average web browser use impossible

Hello,

On a recent upgrade to Chromium 74.0.3729.108-1, any attempts to open a
new instance of the browser (via the app launcher or by clicking an
external link) hang for several seconds before crashing the previous
Chromium instance and opening a new window. This causes work to be
potentially lost.

Downgrading to version 73.0.3683.75-1 in testing makes the problem go away.

I can reproduce this with two systems, one running the NVIDIA binary
driver (version 418.56-2 in unstable) and another running an Intel iGPU.
Based on the command line output I've seen, I think the graphics setup
might be related?

On my NVIDIA system, running chromium from the terminal gives this:

$ chromium
[17554:17554:0427/125307.938566:ERROR:vaapi_wrapper.cc(335)]
vaInitialize failed: unknown libva error

Then I tried to install vdpau-va-driver and got this instead:

Bug#898448: Makes vinagre segfault on authentication failure

Dear maintainers,

With libfreerdp2-2 2.0.0~git20180411.1.7a7b1802+dfsg1-2+b1 and vinagre
3.22.0-5, I get a very similar crash if the target host is unreachable
or does not have RDP open.
When running in gdb, an "Error connecting to host." dialog pops up and
vinagre immediately segfaults afterwards.

Bug#911420: ITP: numix-icon-theme-square -- Square icon theme from the Numix project

[James Lu]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: James Lu 

* Package name: numix-icon-theme-square
  Version : 18-10-03-1
  Upstream Author : Numix Project Ltd. 
* URL : https://numixproject.github.io/
* License : GPL
  Programming Lang: N/A (it's an image set that can be installed as is)
  Description : Square icon theme from the Numix project

Numix Square is an extensive icon theme for Linux desktops, with over
4000 application icons. It is developed by the Numix project and serves
as a companion to the base Numix icon theme (numix-icon-theme).

The Numix Circle variant of the icon theme (numix-icon-theme-circle) has
been packaged for some months now. This package will likewise be
maintained under the Debian Desktop Themes Team.

Bug#894112: qalculate-gtk: please package/update qalculate to 2.4 released 11/04/2018

[James Lu]

Control: retitle 895465 qalculate-gtk: please update qalculate to 2.6.2
released 2018-08-13
Control: tags 895465 + patch
Control: tags 894112 + patch

Dear Maintainer,

Some months ago I experimented with bringing newer libqalculate /
qalculate-gtk to Debian, using the packaging here as a base. Hopefully
these can be useful in bringing updates into Debian proper:

libqalculate:
https://github.com/utopia-repository/libqalculate/tree/for-upstream
qalculate-gtk:
https://github.com/utopia-repository/qalculate-gtk/tree/for-upstream

qalculate-gtk required minimal changes to update, besides bumping the
libqalculate-dev requirement to 2.6.x.

libqalculate had another ABI bump (from SONAME 14 in experimental/2.2.x
to SONAME 19). I added Breaks+Replaces for libqalculate6*,
libqalculate14* packages, which should resolve #894112. Since
libqalculate has a few build-deps, I'm assuming that pushing this to
unstable would involve a package transition - I have not tested any
reverse deps yet.

Also it appears that upstream switched to doxygen for building
libqalculate docs (at least for sources based off Git), so I
incorporated that into the build process as well.

Best,
James

[James Lu]

Hi Shirish,

Re title: Filing new bugs for each distinct problem / error is easiest
to manage on any BTS :)

Also, was the original autostart issue fixed? Everything else previously
mentioned here should be fixed as of 0.7.0.

This might be a worthwhile feature request, though I have no idea how
common desktop environment support for SVG backgrounds is.

They should be copied even if the pencil_tile generation breaks?

Bug#906620: Please build with --enable-xnvctrl to enable Nvidia support

[James Lu]

Package: xfce4-sensors-plugin
Version: 1.3.0-1
Tags: patch
Severity: wishlist

Dear maintainer,

When enabled at build time, xfce4-sensors-plugin can show GPU
temperatures when using the proprietary Nvidia driver. The attached
patch enables this feature and adds libxnvctrl-dev to build-deps
accordingly.

I've tested this locally and it seems to work fine.

Actually, these two are built in Chromium features that happen to show
up as extensions. For example, CryptoTokenExtension is actually used for
hardware two-factor authentication[1][2].

I don't see how this would make a difference unless you have a
conflicting "variety" binary elsewhere. What does "which variety" on the
command line show you?

If you haven't edited set_wallpaper directly, delete
~/.config/variety/scripts/set_wallpaper and restart Variety. This will
make Variety copy over the newest set_wallpaper (this bug was fixed in
set_wallpaper since 0.6.7)

OK, maybe the Gdk-CRITICAL stuff is related but it looks like a bit of a
red herring. Reason being that Variety is still working after displaying
that error. It's more important to know if there actual missing
elements, e.g. a broken tray icon.

Bug#903517: Variety takes a long time to quit and ends up force killed by a watchdog thread

[James Lu]

Package: variety
Version: 0.6.3-5
Severity: normal
Tags: help
Control: found -1 0.6.7-1
Control: fixed -1 0.6.9-1

Variety versions < 0.6.8 essentially hang if you try to quit (at least,
when you do so right after starting the program). If run from a
terminal, Variety shows that it is killed by its own watchdog thread
(force_exit) after a few seconds.

I suspect that some thread is locking up due to VRTY.org being closed
down[1], because the issue is gone in 0.6.8 and later (where all of this
integration code was removed). However, I have *not* been able to
isolate the exact cause of the freeze, and a giant patch removing a
large portion of code is probably too invasive to backport.

Interestingly enough, I have not been able to reproduce with 0.6.3 even
more serious startup hangs that sporadically hit 0.6.7-1 in Ubuntu
bionic.[2]

Bug#902634: RFS: flashplugin-nonfree/1:3.7+nmu1 [NMU] [RC] -- Adobe Flash Player - browser plugin

[James Lu]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: important
Control: block 851066 by -1
Control: block 889804 by -1

Dear mentors,

I'm looking for a sponsor for an NMU of flashplugin-nonfree, which fixes
some old bugs making the downloader unusable since at least January
2017[1]. The maintainer (Bart Martens) has not responded to that bug at
all, nor has anyone replied to the intent to NMU that I posted last week[2].

This upload includes a patch from Gianluigi Tiesi which removes all
references to Bart's people.debian.org page, which has not seen any
updates during his apparent absence. These include tarball checksum and
GPG verification checks via his site that are *removed* since Adobe
doesn't seem to provide them (instead, they rely on HTTPS).

[1]: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=851066
[2]: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=851066;msg=127

At the same time, I've also included changes to fix some trivial but
non-RC bugs[3][4].

[3]: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=862144

The source of the package is available at mentors[5] as well as Salsa[6]
- note that the current package in unstable never defined a Vcs, so I'm
only using the latter so far as tracking for these fixes.

Hello,

I can confirm that this patch works and fixes not only this bug but some
others[1][2] affecting the download process too.

I'll look at making an NMU (currently staged in Salsa[3]), which will
also fix a couple of unrelated but trivial bugs[4][5]. The changes are
effectively at

Bug#896550: kazam: Binding 'R' failed!

[James Lu]

Control: severity -1 important
Control: retitle -1 kazam does not work under Wayland

Hi everyone,

I did some digging on this issue in a VM running buster/testing + GNOME,
only to find that Kazam does not work at all on Wayland.

The keybinding errors are caused by Keybinder not supporting
Wayland[1][2], but I've also found several other problems. Some of these
can be worked around by running kazam with GDK_BACKEND=x11 set, but
others are not.

- Screenshots fail under Wayland unless GDK_BACKEND=x11 is set:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/kazam/app.py", line 567, in
cb_counter_finished
self.grabber.grab()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/kazam/backend/grabber.py", line
146, in grab
c_picbuf.composite(self.pixbuf, 0, 0, w - 1, h - 1,
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'composite'

- Choosing to record a window under Wayland fails because libwnck only
supports X11 (worked around with GDK_BACKEND=x11):

(kazam:3789): Wnck-WARNING **: 13:08:48.693: libwnck is designed to work
in X11 only, no valid display found
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/kazam/frontend/window_select.py",
line 111, in cb_button_press_event
screen.force_update()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'force_update'

- Screen recording under Wayland shows a black screen with only the
cursor, even when GDK_BACKEND=x11 is set

In this case, no explicit errors are shown.



All of these issues are Wayland specific and do not affect GNOME on Xorg
or other X11-based desktops. I'm therefore lowering the severity.

Best,
James

Bug#898641: variety: please package upstream variety 0.6.8

[James Lu]

Hello,

Actually, I (the maintainer here) was the same person who synced the
packaging back upstream, so it wouldn't make much of a difference
personally. :)

FWIW 0.6.8 was a bit rushed and led to some regressions[1], so I'll skip
that and upload the next version (0.6.9) which I plan to tag today.

Bug#822989: HTTP 500 error after logging in to alioth SSO

[James Lu]

Dear SSO team / server admins,

When I try to sign on to sso.debian.org with my Alioth (-guest) account,
I am redirected to https://sso.debian.org/alioth/certs/ where I get a
HTTP 500 error.

The contents are as follows:


Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was
unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator at debian-ad...@lists.debian.org
to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you
performed just before this error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Apache Server at sso.debian.org Port 443



My password does not contain any non-ASCII characters, so I believe this
is a separate issue from bug 780460 (which was mentioned earlier in the

Bug#897385: Existence of Dropbox plugin is not documented

[James Lu]

Package: src:dolphin-plugins
Version: 4:18.04.0-1
Severity: minor

Dear maintainers,

The dolphin-plugins package provides a Dropbox integration plugin[1],
which works well but isn't documented in e.g. the package description.
This makes it fairly difficult to find.

Because Dropbox is not technically a VCS, perhaps it would also make
sense to split it into a separate package for better searchability.

James

Bug#893759: variety: launching variety gives quite a few python 2.7 warnings

[James Lu]

Hello,

This actually looks like three different bugs.

The first traceback (relating to
/usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-background) seems to involve
misdetecting image file formats somewhere. To help debug this further,
could you reply with the output of:

ls /etc/alternatives/desktop-background -lah

For the second error (cannot identify image file), I suspect a corrupt
image file. Does the file it mentions
(/home/shirish/.config/variety/Downloaded/flickr_user_www_flickr_com_photos_peter_levi__user_id_93647178_N00_/7527884976_7d72041417_o.jpg)
seem like a working JPEG? If not, try deleting it and see if the issue
disappears.

The "unary operator expected" issue is a mistake on my part and will be
fixed in the next upstream release (0.6.7)

Hope this helps,
James

Bug#890947: lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings: l-g-g-settings truncate /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf

[James Lu]

Hi Yves-Alexis,

It might be helpful to include the contents of
/etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf.d/*, as well as the
lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf before and after attempting to modify it using
l-g-g-s.

Toggling the "Redefine indicators" option seems to work fine here with a
single conf file and with a split setup: I tested briefly by copying my
background entry from lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf into a new file under
/etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf.d/. That said, I haven't tried the
external indicators feature as I'm honestly not sure how to set it up -
I don't know if there even are relevant indicator libs on my system.

Best,
James

Dear maintainers,

Bug#878114: racket: Print Definitions does not work, creates empty pages instead

[James Lu]

Package: racket
Version: 6.10.1+dfsg1-1

Dear maintainer,

I recently noticed that the "Print Definitions" option in Racket does
not work, and creates empty files instead. Regardless of the printer I
pick (I tried GTK's "Print to File", cups-pdf, and my physical printer's
Preview), the only output I get is empty page(s).

I've attached a sample .rkt file and the PDF file I got when trying to
print it.

Best,
James

Bug#822246: ITP: qt5ct -- Qt5 configuration tool

[James Lu]

Hi again,

With some experimentation, I replaced the contents of
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/99qt5ct with the following:

# Enable qt5ct by default unless another PLATFORMTHEME option is set
# or KDE is running.
if [ -z "$QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME" ] && [ "$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP" != "KDE" ]
then
export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct
fi

This seemed to work: the end result is that qt5ct is enabled on Xfce,
GNOME and Budgie, but not enabled on Plasma 5. I also went ahead and
removed the QT_PLATFORMTHEME and QT_PLATFORM_PLUGIN defines because they
aren't necessary based on the upstream readme and my own testing.

A git-style patch with this change is attached.

Best,
James

Bug#822246: ITP: qt5ct -- Qt5 configuration tool

[James Lu]

Hi everyone,

From what I read at
https://forum.antergos.com/topic/6487/qt5ct-has-priority-over-standard-plasma-settings-app/2,
Lisandro's concerns are correct and qt5ct does appear to override
Plasma's settings entirely. However, since qt5ct requires an Xsession
file[1] to be enabled by default, could one solution be having the
script exit silently if it finds any KDE environment variables? (This is
assuming that the order at which vars are set make this possible, but I
haven't verified that)

Alternatively, would it make sense for qt5ct to Break or Conflict with
Plasma, at least until these issues are worked around?

Best,
James

Bug#709899: virtualbox: please move guest tools back to main

[James Lu]

Control: reassign 709899 virtualbox-guest-x11
Control: tag 709899 + patch
Control: block 709899 by 824169

This is no longer true: Source packages are again allowed to build for
both main and contrib, but this is in practice problematic due to
824169. So, hopefully adding a block here is the right way to go.

Bug#870121: mate-power-manager: sometimes hits not-reached assertion on startup

[James Lu]

Control: retitle -1 mate-power-manager: crashes with upower 0.99.5 on any 
device with a backlit keyboard
Control: severity -1 grave
Justification: renders package unusable on a large range of systems

Hi everyone,

According to the upstream issue, mate-power-manager is now completely broken 
with upower
0.99.5 on any device with a backlit keyboard. This makes it effectively 
unusable on a wide
slew of devices, so I'm bumping the severity to make the issue more notable.

James

Hi Release Team,

I've prepared an update to gnome-exe-thumbnailer which includes two changes
backported from the 0.9.5 release:

1) Migrating away from insecure Wine+VBScript based parsing of .msi files to
msitools, as part of the fix for CVE-2017-11421[1] (VBScript code injection via
filenames containing code). This issue was marked no-dsa, so I'm sending the
update here instead. I also adjusted the dependencies to add msitools, but IIRC
this means that users upgrading will need to run dist-upgrade (if such a change
is too disruptive, I will probably look at disabling version info for .msi
files entirely).

2) Fix readability of version labels by using a dark background colour.
Previously, the version label exe-thumbnailer adds to generated thumbnails used
a transparent background, which shows up as white text on white with a default
configuration.

The debdiff is attached.

Bug#868705: [pkg-wine-party] Bug#868705: gnome-exe-thumbnailer: Thumbnail generation for MSI files executes arbitrary VBScript

[James Lu]

Control: tag 868705 + pending fixed-upstream

Hi,

msiinfo is part of msitools, just like wixl:
https://github.com/GNOME/msitools. I haven't audited the code, but being
under the GNOME umbrella and having a history of 5 years probably means
that it's reliable enough.

(I've also heard reports so far that msiinfo is a lot /faster/ than
running code through Wine's cscript, which is not really much of a
surprise.)

Best,
James

Bug#868705: [pkg-wine-party] Bug#868705: gnome-exe-thumbnailer: Thumbnail generation for MSI files executes arbitrary VBScript

[James Lu]

Hi Nils,

I wasn't able to reproduce the exploit on my (64-bit) system with either
Caja and Nautilus (it also required setting up a new wineprefix in
~/.wine). The msi thumbnail ended up generating without any version
information tag at all.

Regardless, I've gone and replaced the VBScript-based parsing entirely
with msitools' msiinfo in
https://github.com/gnome-exe-thumbnailer/gnome-exe-thumbnailer/commit/1d8e3102dd8fd23431ae6127d14a236da6b4a4a5;
hopefully this should fix the issue. I'll tag a new release soon and
look at pushing the fix to Debian.

(Also CC'ing the other maintainers, who I don't think are on the Debian
Wine list)

Best,
James

Bug#868282: virtualbox-dkms: kernel modules fail to build due to missing files

[James Lu]

Hi everyone,

I ran into this issue today as well and can confirm that downgrading to
virtualbox-dkms 5.1.22-dfsg-2 fixes it.

Best,

Bug#866655: variety: depends on libwebkitgtk-3.0-0 which is deprecated

[James Lu]

Control: forwarded 866655 https://bugs.launchpad.net/variety/+bug/1701724

Hi Jeremy,

To speed up the process, is there any simple porting guide between WebKitGTK 3 
and WebKit2GTK 4? The only working feature in Variety using WebKit at the 
moment is Facebook integration, which is difficult for me to test because I 
don't feel comfortable with programs posting to Facebook on my behalf.

I've forwarded the issue upstream and I'll see how they respond; if there's 
nothing within a week or two I will probably just patch out Facebook 
integration for the time being.

Best,
James

Bug#806852: systemd: rescue.service fails if root password is not set, needs sulogin --force

[James Lu]

Control: severity -1 important
Justification: potentially leaves the system in an unbootable,
unrecoverable state

Hi all,

This issue is extremely frustrating to say the least because I've been
locked out of my own computer over a simple fstab issue that could have
easily been fixed with a root shell... Instead I had to prepare a
bootdisk from another machine etc. because the root account was locked?
I happen to use sudo exclusively and I'm a bit annoyed that no warnings
for cases like these were ever displayed.

Seeing that a patch was already proposed in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=802211, can
*something* be done about this problem? Requiring login to a sudoer
account when root is locked sounds like a great compromise solution if
possible.

Best,
James

Hi,

I have some unofficial packaging for paper-icon-theme at

adequate interest, I can continue working on it (though the polish
up+finding a sponsor process takes time!)

[James Lu]

Hi,

For anyone interested, I have some working unofficial packaging over at
https://github.com/utopia-repository/paper-gtk-theme. However, I don't
want to maintain this in Debian alone because my CSS skills are limited
and GTK 3 themes are prone to break every point release.

That said, I'm happy to work alongside someone knowledgeable if they
feel the extra manpower would be helpful.

Bug#864075: unblock: icoutils/0.31.2-1.1

[James Lu]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

Hi Release Team,

Please consider unblocking package icoutils:

This upload fixes an important bug which caused icoutils' wrestool utility to
break completely, due to a regression in version 0.31.2. wrestool is a program
used to extract icons from Windows programs, and its breakage caused dependant
packages (e.g. kde-runtime, gnome-exe-thumbnailer, gextractwinicons) to fail at
icon extraction entirely.

The full debdiff is attached.

Bug#864056: RFS: icoutils/0.31.2-1.1 [NMU]

[James Lu]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for package "icoutils"

 * Package name: icoutils
   Version : 0.31.2-1.1
   Upstream Author : Frank Richter <frank.rich...@gmail.com>
 * URL : http://www.nongnu.org/icoutils/
 * License : GPL-3+
   Section : graphics

It builds those binary packages:

  icoutils   - Create and extract MS Windows icons and cursors

To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

https://mentors.debian.net/package/icoutils

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

  dget -x
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/i/icoutils/icoutils_0.31.2-1.1.dsc

Changes since the last upload:

icoutils (0.31.2-1.1) unstable; urgency=high

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * Add patch fix-wrestool.patch from upstream commit
http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/icoutils.git/commit/?id=3c990fcc754c81a02ab5981d59b01025f1596b2c
to fix wrestool not extracting icons - this is a regression from 0.31.2.
Closes: #860220


I want to upload this low threshold NMU[1] because the bug being fixed
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=860220) breaks
icoutils' wrestool entirely, and prevents gnome-exe-thumbnailer (which I
maintain) and likely others[2] from properly working. Per the regular
NMU guidelines[3], I've also waited 5 days before pushing a fix for this
severity 'important' bug. Although the stretch upload deadline is coming
up soon, I really want to fix this bug for stretch so that programs
depending on wrestool are fully functional.

Bug#860220: icoutils: Cannot parse/extract icons using icotool or wrestool

Hi again,

Some more testing from Unit 193 (CC'd) and I shows that the commit
fixing this is actually
http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/icoutils.git/commit/?id=3c990fcc754c81a02ab5981d59b01025f1596b2c

The attached patch imports this commit as a patch. (Hopefully this can
be fixed in time for stretch!)

Bug#860220: icoutils: Cannot parse/extract icons using icotool or wrestool

[James Lu]

Control: affects 860220 gnome-exe-thumbnailer
Control: tag 860220 + fixed-upstream

Hi,

According to
http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/icoutils.git/commit/?id=050fbec35c3ab39f71b4e814506692e2006e950d,
this bug is fixed in icoutils 0.31.3. When I build a package for this
version and install it locally, I can confirm that wrestool is fixed.

Before (0.31.2-1):
$ wrestool -l PatchCleaner_1.4.2.0.exe
wrestool: PatchCleaner_1.4.2.0.exe: premature end

After (0.31.3-0utopia1, local build):
$ wrestool -l PatchCleaner_1.4.2.0.exe
--type=3 --name=1 --language=1033 [type=icon offset=0x274a0 size=744]
--type=3 --name=2 --language=1033 [type=icon offset=0x27788 size=296]
--type=5 --name=500 --language=1033 [type=dialog offset=0x278d8 size=184]
--type=6 --name=1 --language=1033 [type=string offset=0x27990 size=148]

--type=14 --name=1 --language=1033 [type=group_icon offset=0x278b0 size=34]

However, there have been numerous commits between 0.31.2 and 0.31.3[1],
and it's not clear to me which commit actually unbricks wrestool. At
this point, it's probably too late to ship an entirely new version into
Stretch.

This bug impacts gnome-exe-thumbnailer (a .exe thumbnailer for
GNOME-like systems), because wrestool failing causes it to fall back to
a relatively useless generic icon. This in turn erodes away at the
thumbnailer's whole purpose, and I'm undecided so far whether that
should be an RC bug on g-e-t's side (I am the maintainer).

Best,
James

Bug#863383: ITP: numix-icon-theme-circle -- Circle icon theme from the Numix project

[James Lu]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: James Lu <bitfl...@gmail.com>

* Package name: numix-icon-theme-circle
  Version : 17-04-05-1
  Upstream Author : Numix Project Ltd. <t...@numixproject.org>
* URL : https://numixproject.org/
* License : GPL
  Programming Lang: N/A (it's an image set that can be installed as is)
  Description : Circle icon theme from the Numix project

Numix Circle is an extensive icon theme for Linux desktops, with over 4000
application icons. It is developed by the Numix project and serves as a
companion to the base Numix icon theme (numix-icon-theme).



Packaging rationale: Numix Circle is an actively maintained, modern icon theme
which covers a wide range of application icons. I have been using it for many
months with no problems, and it helps polish the look of a desktop with a
consistent icon style. This theme complements numix-icon-theme, which only
contains a base set of system (e.g. panel, settings) icons.

Maintenance: I plan to maintain this within the Debian MATE team, as discussed
on #debian-mate (IRC).

Bug#862051: Refer #862051 to ctte (WAS: nodejs-legacy: possibly drop this package, now that ax25-node has been removed?)

[James Lu]

Control: reassign -1 tech-ctte
Control: retitle -1 Rename nodejs back to node for buster, now that
ax25-node has been removed?

Dear tech-ctte,

In 2012, the decision was made to rename Node.js' "node" name to
nodejs-legacy, and transition the existing "node" package to ax25-node.
However, ax25-node (and the "node" package following) were removed in
2015 citing lack of activity:
https://packages.qa.debian.org/n/node.html

Thus, would it be possible to revert the original decision, and rename
nodejs back to node in the next Debian release? Doing so would make
working with JavaScript programs outside of Debian a lot easier, as
projects tend to hardcode the "node" interpreter name.

Best,
James

Bug#862051: nodejs-legacy: possibly drop this package, now that ax25-node has been removed?

[James Lu]

Package: nodejs-legacy
Version: 4.8.2~dfsg-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi maintainers,

Back in 2015, ax25-node (and the "node" package following) were removed citing
lack of activity:
https://packages.qa.debian.org/n/node/news/20150915T000109Z.html

Would it be possible to drop nodejs-legacy in the next Debian release and
rename nodejs back to node? IMO doing so would make working with JS programs
outside of Debian a lot easier.

Best,
James

[James Lu]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian@packages.debian.org

Hi Release Team,

I've prepared variety 0.6.3-5 with two changes: the first is fixing a bug that
caused wallpaper selection panels to eat up 100% CPU when open, and the second
is updating the package's extended description to match the list of supported
wallpaper sources as of Variety 0.6.3.

The relevant debdiff is attached.

Bug#855380: reportbug: UI offers "Back", but doesn't allow to edit the data

[James Lu]

Control: severity -1 important
Control: found -1 7.1.6

Dear maintainers,

This bug is quite problematic IMO because it allows reportbug to get
into a state where all useful UI elements are disabled, including the
buttons on the final navigation screen (e.g. "Submit the bug report via
email"). At this point, reportbug is unusable and all info inputed in
the current session is essentially lost to the average user.

I found this bug specifically by clicking the "Choose a mailer to edit
the report" button on the final navigation screen and then hitting Back.
(In my case, I tried that option only to learn that my mail client isn't
in the mailers list, and in the process broke the bug reporter!)

Best,
James

Control: found -1 0.11.3.1~repack1-1

Hi again,

Sorry for the noise, but ignore the spurious "0.11.3.1~repack1-1utopia1"
version - this happened because I applied the attached patch and rebuilt
with a version bump locally.

Bug#861376: unblock: variety/0.6.3-4 (pre-upload approval)

[James Lu]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

Hi Release Team,

In the last few months I've prepared quite a few changes for variety, mostly
involving the removal of online wallpaper sources that no longer work, and also
fixing one fairly annoying bug causing menus to show up at the top left of the
screen. I realize this diff is quite significant, so here's a breakdown:

- The menu bug was reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/variety/+bug/1598298
and fixed in Ubuntu zesty with SRUs to xenial and yakkety pending. The fix
first landed as 0.6.3-2 on March 17 and no regressions have been reported
since.
- The disable-panoramio.patch was based off a similar patch from Arch Linux's
0.6.3-3 package version, and disables Panoramio sources which have been shut
down per https://www.panoramio.com/maps-faq. I modified further also migrate
away from any configured Panoramio, and this change has been in experimental
for 10 days with no regressions reported.
- Cleaning up after the earlier Wallpapers.net source removal from 0.6.3-1:
removing its dependencies (libjs-underscore, python-lxml) which aren't used
anywhere else, and also removing Wallpapers.net from the package description.
- Finally, patch refreshes and updates as part of maintenance: I've also
removed an old setup.py-install-requires.diff patch which was never used in the
build in unstable.
- The only change that hasn't been previously pushed is removing python-lxml
from the build-dependencies, as I forgot to include that with 0.6.3-3.

Attached is a debdiff between 0.6.3-1 (currently in unstable) and 0.6.3-4,
which I plan to release if this is okay.

Bug#854522: ruby-debian: dpkg-checkdeps raises errors with dpkg >= 1.18.11

[James Lu]

Package: ruby-debian
Version: 0.3.9+b6
Tags: patch
Severity: minor

dpkg >= 1.18.11 dropped the --print-installation-architecture option as
obsolete, causing dpkg-checkdeps to throw an error on start. The
attached patch replaces that call with 'dpkg --print-architecture' instead.

The exact error looks like this:

dpkg: error: unknown option --print-installation-architecture

Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*];
Use 'apt' or 'aptitude' for user-friendly package management;
Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values;
Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options;
Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files;

Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through 'less' or
'more' !

Best,
James

Hi Jens,

That looks good, though I would recommend removing .vbs (VBScript) and
.url (Windows bookmark) from the blacklist as well, because those are
fairly Windows specific files.

Bug#847482: cinnamon-session: Qt theme overrides no longer work on Qt >= 5.7

[James Lu]

Control: reopen 847482

Hi maintainers,

Unfortunately I forgot to mention that for the Qt 5.7 theme override to
work, the build time option --enable-qt57-theme-support also has to be
set. Otherwise, cinnamon-session will still set QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=gtk
and QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qgnomeplatform.

Another patch is attached to address this. Thanks for all the hard work
in maintaining Cinnamon in Debian! :)

Best,
James

Bug#847482: qt5t not to be expected for stretch

[James Lu]

Hi Lisandro,

I think the consensus upstream was that using qt5ct to set themes was
more flexible than simply hardcoding it to gtk2 (e.g. if someone wants
to use adwaita-qt instead). Granted though, I haven't tested qt5ct
outside Cinnamon.

I also haven't tested whether setting the override to 'gtk2' instead of
'gtk' would solve the problem, as I'd have to patch+build
cinnamon-session again. Either way, this still requires qt-styleplugins
to be a newer version; I previously pulled a 5.0.0+git20161024-0.1
version off Mentors that has the latest code, but it looks like that no
longer exists.

Another note: there seems to be some work on getting Cinnamon 3.2
packaged, though I'm not sure whether that's destined for stretch (3.2
includes the patch I mentioned).

Best,
James

Bug#847482: cinnamon-session: Qt theme overrides no longer work on Qt >= 5.7

[James Lu]

Package: cinnamon-session
Version: 3.0.1-2
Control: block -1 by 822246 843257

Dear maintainers,

Qt 5.7 moved the GTK+ 2 theme engine from qtbase to qt-style-plugins[1].
In the process, this caused the old setting of QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=gtk to
stop working, so Qt 5 programs will default to the out-of-place Fusion
theme.

A backported fix from upstream to fix this is attached: it sets Qt to
use qt5ct as a backend, which in turn allows the user to specify what Qt
5 theme to use globally. However, neither qt5ct[2] nor the new
qt5-style-plugins with GTK+2 support[3] have made it into Debian yet, so
there may be a need for a simpler fix.

Best,
James

Bug#845334: [pkg-wine-party] Bug#845334: wine32: breaks xdg-open, which wants to start wine and crashes

[James Lu]

Hi Vincent,

As a workaround, you can use the instructions at
https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#How_do_I_clean_the_Open_With_List.3F to
remove Wine's file associations:

rm -f ~/.local/share/mime/packages/x-wine*
rm -f ~/.local/share/applications/wine-extension*
rm -f ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/*/*/application-x-wine-extension*
rm -f ~/.local/share/mime/application/x-wine-extension*

James

Bug#838858: firmware-amd-graphics: missing SI/CI smc firmware files

[James Lu]

Control: merge 838858 843061
Control: tags 838858 + patch

Hi everyone,

I recently upgraded to the 4.8 kernel in Stretch and was hit by this as
well.

The problem seems to be that firmware-amd-graphics doesn't ship the
required radeon/*_k_smc.bin binaries at all. The attached patch adds
these to the build system, and fixes this problem, at least for me.

Best,
James

Bug#796414: ITP: vertex-theme -- Vertex themes for GTK 2/3

[James Lu]

Hi Jack,

Creating a CRX file looks a bit problematic because it requires a key
signature, ideally from upstream. I don't think signing on behalf of
upstream developers (or Debian itself) is something that can be easily done.

The closest example I found of packing a Chromium/Chrome extension in
Debian was https://packages.debian.org/sid/chromium-lwn4chrome. There,
it looks like assets (*.png, *.js*, and _locales) are installed raw into
/usr/share/chromium/extensions/lwn4chrome, and a custom loader named
lwn4chrome is installed into /etc/chromium.d/

Below is the contents of the loader (debian/loader/lwn4chrome in the
source). It looks fairly straightforward, working by appending
--load-extension to the flags chromium starts with.

# lwn4chrome extension loader
export CHROMIUM_FLAGS="$CHROMIUM_FLAGS
--load-extension=/usr/share/chromium/extensions/lwn4chrome"

For what it's worth, it might be useful to split up the Firefox and
Chrome-specific themes into separate binaries, and have those recommend
firefox | firefox-esr (depending on which versions are supported) and
chromium respectively. That way, people who aren't using those specific
browsers don't have to install extras they don't need.

Best,
James

But, some notes anyways on a first glance:

* https://github.com/horst3180/vertex-theme lists gnome-themes-standard

* A man page for something like a theme set seems a bit odd to me;
aren't those usually for binaries or config files? AFAIK,  README.debian
is the most common way of writing notes such as how to configure extras:

environments (line 8), IceWeasel instead of Iceweasel (line 9)

Other than that, the package looks fine to me :)

Bug#834539: RFS: zuki-themes/3.20-1-1 [ITP]

[James Lu]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "zuki-themes"

* Package name: zuki-themes
* Version : 3.20-1-1
* Upstream Author : Mattias 
* URL : https://github.com/lassekongo83/zuki-themes
* License : GPL-3
* Section : x11

It builds those binary packages:

zuki-themes - Zuki themes for GNOME, Xfce and more

To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

https://mentors.debian.net/package/zuki-themes

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

dget -x
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/z/zuki-themes/zuki-themes_3.20-1-1.dsc

Changes since the last upload:
* Initial Debian release. (Closes: #834278)

One particular note: I'm not quite sure why the debian/watch check on
mentors fails: on my system running stretch/sid, uscan works fine.

Best,
James

Bug#831678: Re: Bug#831678: gtk2-engines-murrine: Text shadow misaligned for desktop icons on XFCE

[James Lu]

Hi everyone,

As far as I'm concerned, what the patches for Numix and Arc actually do
is turn off desktop text shadows entirely, so they're more workarounds
than actual fixes. From my experience, Xfce desktop icon labels without
shadowing become blandly white, which doesn't contrast well with lighter
wallpapers.

A quick look at
https://github.com/shimmerproject/Greybird/blob/master/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
finds no results for "textstyle = 5", which I believe is what enables
shadowing in the first place. That's probably why it's not affected. Arc
[1], Vertex [2], and Numix [3] on the other hand, have all used this
styling.

Bug#650394: ITP: tigervnc -- High-speed Virtual Network Computing (VNC)

[James Lu]

Control: block 814959 by 650394

Hi everyone,

I managed to compile tigervnc on Jessie by switching to xserver116.patch
and dropping the X 1.18 compat patch. The standalone server works great,
and I can probably do some similar tests too on sid.

TigerVNC is very modern! It supports screen resizing and fixes my
XKEYBOARD issues under Qt5, so I'm really looking forward to seeing it
in Debian!

Bug#827128: Please provide/conflict/replace python-nemo

[James Lu]

Package: nemo-python
Version: 3.0.0-2
Tags: patch
Severity: wishlist

Many upstream and 3rd party extensions (e.g.
https://launchpad.net/folder-color and
https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo-extensions) still hardcode python-nemo
as a dependency, and this makes transitioning to the new name
(nemo-python) a lot easier. A provides/conflicts/replaces entry should
allow the dependency of python-nemo to be satisfied, but simultaneously
block the upstream python-nemo from being installed.

A patch to do this is attached.

Thanks,
James

Bug#822976: gtk3-engines-unico: Package broken by GTK 3.16

[James Lu]

Hi George,

As far as I'm concerned, Unico itself isn't even a theme - it's an
engine that theme authors can borrow from. I don't think it has any
reverse dependencies in Debian, but various themes in Ubuntu (where the
package originates) have it listed as a dependency or used to.

Perhaps I should inquire with upstream on what exactly still uses Unico
in the coming days.



gl@millennium:~$ reverse-depends gtk3-engines-unico -r xenial

Bug#822976: gtk3-engines-unico: Package broken by GTK 3.16

[James Lu]

Hi,

Since newer GTK versions have already made it into the archive, does
that mean that this package no longer serves any purpose? From what I
can tell, GTK3 engines for Breeze and Xfce still exist elsewhere in the
archive: https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=gtk3-engines-

If this inevitably ends with Unico being removed, I guess I'm okay with
that too. What might be the best course of action here?

Best,
James

Bug#820388: variety: Section should be “x11”

[James Lu]

package variety
unarchive 814705
reopen 814705

tags 814705 + fixed
thanks

Hi,

I've already fixed this error in the package; I'm just waiting for
FTP-masters to fix up the section on their side. Perhaps I closed the
old bug too early, but I'll reopen it now.

James

Bug#650394: ITP: tigervnc -- High-speed Virtual Network Computing (VNC)

[James Lu]

Hi everyone,

Is there any update to this ITP? I came upon the pkg-tigervnc sources in
Alioth, but I can't get it to build on my Debian 8 server due to
differences in the X server versions. Is there any possibility of
creating an up-to-date build for stable based on what's already done?

I've also found the NeuroDebian packages for Jessie, but that seems to
be of a pretty old version 1.2.0+X1.12.4-1~nd70+1, and isn't installable
at all.

Getting TigerVNC to work may be a workaround to issues I'm having with
TightVNC lacking XKEYBOARD support.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=814959 makes
everything using Qt 5 quite difficult to use.

Bug#792089: gnome-screenshot: GNOME Screenshot flash doesn't go away until the app exits

[James Lu]

Control: fixed 792089 3.18.0-1

I can no longer reproduce this in GNOME Screenshot 3.18 in
testing/unstable. So I assume this was either fixed upstream or
something similar.

Best,
James
