Bug#1053245: fluidsynth: Fluidsynth starts at boot and blocks the sound device, no obvious way to disable it

2023-09-29 Thread Patrick May
Package: fluidsynth
Version: 2.3.1-2
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
X-Debbugs-Cc: dusthillresid...@gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

I installed rosegarden, lmms, and the fluidsynth package. (I'm not sure which 
of these did it but presumably it's fluidsynth.)

Upon reboot, I noticed a fluidsynth process was running in the background and 
pulseaudio reported my audio device is "Dummy output", apparently because 
fluidsynth is starting before pulseaudio and claiming full control over the 
sound device.

So I ran this command as root:
 systemctl list-unit-files --state=enabled
expecting to find the name of the fluidsynth service in the list, so I could 
disable it.
It does not appear in the list at all.
So, looking further, I tried this command as root:
 systemctl | grep fluid
No mention of fluidsynth appears. But somehow it's starting itself at boot. And 
I have no obvious way of disabling it. 

I would say that this is pretty serious because it starts itself, you have no 
reasonable way of knowing how to stop it, and it takes full control of your 
audio device so you can't play any audio from any other apps.

Bug#515567: gnome-system-monitor: X error if I try to change the priority of a process

2009-02-16 Thread Patrick May
Package: gnome-system-monitor
Version: 2.22.3-1
Severity: normal


Gnome's system monitor program crashed immediately if you try to set the 
priority of a process below 0 (that is, giving it a higher priority). 
It doesn't matter whose process it is - the result is always the same.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start GNOME system monitor
2. Click on the Processes tab
3. Right click on a process, and choose Change priority
4. In the Change Priority window, change the nice value to anything below 0.
For example, -3.
5. Click the Change Priority button.
6. The program crashes, and prints this message on the console.

The program 'gnome-system-monitor' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 39864 error_code 8 request_code 1 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Heh heh! Oh, boy! Oh, man! I tested this on my laptop and my main computer, it
happened on both. Oh boy!

Just wanted to let you know.

Bug#515577: metacity: New windows appear underneath older windows when a window is given always on top status

2009-02-16 Thread Patrick May
Package: metacity
Version: 1:2.22.0-2
Severity: important


When you give a window always on top status, newly opened windows will appear 
behind the window which is currently focused. 

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open some windows, for example, some Xterms.
2. Focus one of the windows.
3. Press Alt+F2 to invoke the Run Application prompt window
RESULT: The Run Application prompt window appears behind the currently focused 
window.
(This also happens in other situations, not just with the Run Application 
windows.)

This bug really gets on my nerves, enough to make me want to look for an 
alternative window manager. That's why I gave it important status.

Actually, disregard the last message - the problem still occurs even if 
that key is set to TRUE.

I just found out that this problem doesn't seem to occur if the 
configuration option

/apps/metacity/general/application_based is set to TRUE.
This is a workaround, but of course not a solution.
