No, not in Firefox now.
But it does now happen in Icedove 2.0.0.17. Not 100% of the time but most
of the time, where the bottom option is 'Delete Message'.

This also happens with Icedove (2.0.0.14-1 in Testing) when you

Bug#457291: what's going on with Adobe Flash player in Lenny?

2007-12-31 Thread petes-bugs
Under current circumstances at least, losing Adobe Flash Player from a
Debian desktop system is a big deal because of the loss of YouTube
because, as I understand it, the free Flash players don't work with
YouTube.

Can you please elucidate on why Lenny will not have this package?
Will there be a free alternative that will work enough? (I appreciate that
'enough' is vague)
I'd just appreciate knowing what's going on, thanks.

I understand this package must be problematic for Debian Stable because it
downloads a static package name whose contents change and so this package
breaks when Adobe's player is updated.
Has anyone asked Adobe if they'll give their packages a version-specific
filename and leave old versions on their server?

Bug#444338: [Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#444338: README.Debian.gz has outdated sections

Bug#444338: [Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#444338: README.Debian.gz has outdated sections

2007-10-05 Thread petes-bugs
 That could be an opportunity to re-check that file and see whether
 there are some things we might want to add.

I recommend the following additions:

- There is a bug (https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4098) where
by accounts created with 'net rpc user add' are disabled and need
enabling. To work around this you can do this for each account you create:
smbpasswd -e new username

- Beware of 'invalid users = root' in smb.conf, which is enabled by
default in Debian

- Upgrading from Sarge to Etch:

smb.conf's 'passwd chat' changed from '*Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n
*Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n .' to '*Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:*
%n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully*
.'

Since Samba 3.0.23 'net groupmap modify' now needs to be 'net groupmap
add'; additionally the RID has to be specified, using the form 'rid=RID'

From 3.0.23's release notes:

Group Mapping Changes
=

The default mapping entries for groups such as Domain Admins are
no longer created when using an smbpasswd file or a tdbsam passdb
backend.  This means that it is necessary to use 'net groupmap
add' rather than 'net groupmap modify' to set these entries.
This change has no effect on winbindd's IDmap functionality for
domain groups.

Where once you might have done this:
net groupmap modify ntgroup=Domain Admins
unixgroup=samba-domain-admins type=domain -U root
net groupmap modify ntgroup=Domain Users unixgroup=samba-domain-users
type=domain -U root
net groupmap modify ntgroup=Domain Guests
unixgroup=samba-domain-guests type=domain -U root

You now have to do this:
net groupmap add rid=512 ntgroup=Domain Admins
unixgroup=samba-domain-admins type=domain -U root
net groupmap add rid=513 ntgroup=Domain Users
unixgroup=samba-domain-users type=domain -U root
net groupmap add rid=514 ntgroup=Domain Guests
unixgroup=samba-domain-guests type=domain -U root

Bug#444338: README.Debian.gz has outdated sections

2007-09-27 Thread petes-bugs
Package: samba
Version: 3.0.26a-1

Samba's README.Debian.gz has various sections which seem outdated. I
suggest they're removed:

- The smbfs package does not support the 2.0.x Linux kernels anymore.
  This has been the case since the very first packages of the CVS sources
  that eventually became Samba 2.2. To use the smbfs package you need to
  run a 2.2.x kernel or later.

This seems too outdated to be worthwhile.

- Starting with the Debian packages for Samba 2.2, the Samba log files (for
  nmbd and smbd) have been moved to a new location: /var/log/samba/. The
  files also have new names: log.nmbd and log.smbd. The old files
  (/var/log/{nmb,smb} were moved to the new location.

This seems too outdated to be worthwhile.

Samba 2.2 has also experimental support for Primary Domain
Controller. This means that a Samba server can act now as a PDC. There
are no special flags needed to compile Samba with NT domain PDC
support. Please read the NTDOM PDC FAQ at www.samba.org (Documentation
section).

Please note that NT domain PDC support is far from complete and is still
experimental.

- it might have been experimental in Samba 2.2 but surely it isn't now? I
have a number of sites who've been using Sarge and Etch's Samba as a PDC
without any issues.






Bug#444341: update-alternatives doesn't describe the generic names

2007-09-27 Thread petes-bugs
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.13.25

There seems to me to be a gaping hole in the update-alternatives program
in that there's all this talk about generic names but no mention of what
they actually are, so it is hard to use the program.
The only way it seems to me to find them is to use 'ls /etc/alternatives'.
For now, the man and info pages should at least advise using 'ls
/etc/alternatives'; better still would be to list the generic names in the
man and info pages.
In the longer, term a switch to list the generic names would be great.

Bug#414909: ctrl+left-arrow behaves inconsistantly with non-alphanumeric chars

2007-03-14 Thread petes-bugs
Package: gedit
Version: 2.14.4-8

If i have a block of text in a plain text file like this:

**  kjdksfjklsdjfkldsj
1 22 33
##  aaa  aa
kjdksfjklsdjfkldsj *  ** **

I can't use ctrl+left-arrow to jump from the 'k' in the first line to the
beginning of the line.
Similarly from the first 'a' in line 3 to the start of that line.
Yet I can do this when the text consists of regular alphanumeric
characters such as the 1's in line 2.

I would want to do this kind of of operation when using
ctrl+shift+left-arrow to highlight text for copying.

If I were at the first 'a' in line 3 and used ctrl+left-arrow it would put
the cursor at the first '3' in line 2, rather than at the first '#' in
line 3; which is what it would do were I to do this at the first '2' in
line 2.
Perhaps this relates to why I am seeing the latter bug.

ctrl+left-arrow from the end of line 4 would take me to the beginning of
line 4 rather than to the next space amongst the '*'.

Which kernel package do you choose if your computer just says 'Intel Xeon'
or 'centrino mobile technology' on the front? I propose the package
description of this and the other -686 kernel packages be reworded to this

Bug#414789: 'Switch Page Direction' wrongly automatically selected when right-click on right of page

2007-03-13 Thread petes-bugs
Package: iceweasel
Version: 2.0.0.2+dfsg-3

If I right-click on a page somewhere to the right hand side of the page
and far enough down the page that the context sensitive menu appears
upwards from the cursor, rather than downwards, then the 'Switch Page
Direction' option seems to get selected automatically, as though hovering
over the option enables it, rather than clicking on it.
It doesn't happen on the left had side of a page or if the context
sensitive menu appears below the level of the cursor.
I've seen this with the previous version of Iceweasel in Testing but not
understood what was going wrong till now.

Without network-manager-{openvpn,vpnc,pptp} in Debian, especially for
Etch, including nm-vpn-properties will serve to confuse people,
potentially causing them to waste time researching what packages need to
be installed, as I have done.

Should nm-vpn-properties not be removed from network-manager-gnome until
network-manager-{openvpn,vpnc,pptp} are available?

At the very least there should be a caution in a README.Debian file.






Bug#414187: please add a README.Debian

2007-03-09 Thread petes-bugs
Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 0.6.4-6

Its taken me ages to get network-manager-gnome working because I didn't
read the documentation for network-manager. This could have been
alleviated by a short README.Debian. The critical things to know are that
it will appear automatically in the Notification Area and that you need to
be in the netdev group.

Here is my proposed README.Debian:
'network-manager-gnome provides a Notification Area applet for
conveniently choosing wired and wireless networks in GNOME, KDE and XFCE.

network-manager-gnome (by virtue of the fact it uses network-manager)
requires users to be in the group 'netdev' for it to work. If users aren't
in the group 'netdev' then it won't automatically appear, and work, in the
Notification Area.

network-manager-gnome uses network-manager. Please see the
network-mananger documentation in 
/usr/share/doc/network-manager/README.Debian for further information.'

Package: multisync

The package description could do with explaining that 'this is an old
version that relies on the Multisync framework and uses Multisync plugins.
A newer version (package name multisync0.90), also available in Debian,
instead relies on the Opensync framework and Opensync plugins.'
As it stands you aren't told that there's a difference of
Multisync/Opensync between the multisync and multisync0.90 packages so you
have to dig deep to understand what their differences are and which to
install.

The package description also needs to say it is a GTK graphical user
interface because multisync0.90 says it is and with multisync not doing so
it leads one to believe multisync is not a GUI when comparing one against
the other.

Also, please remove the redundant To get all' near the end of the package
description.

For peoples' ease of use it would be really helpful if we could have this
kind of list in the package description:

'libmultisync-plugin-all installs the following:

libmultisync-plugin-backup - Backup plugin
libmultisync-plugin-evolution - Ximian Evolution plugin
libmultisync-plugin-irmc - IrMc Mobile plugin
libmultisync-plugin-irmc-bluetooth - Adds Bluetooth support to the IrMC

really? if we had an alternative could it be used for Etch? I don't know

not convinced they're needed anyway, i.e.

Is there anyone that can help Stefan Voelkel apply his alternative colour
to the full set?

Does the wider community understand that help applied here could make it
into Etch, if indeed it can?

Has anyone asked Unicko (http://unicko.blog-fx.com/) if he can provide his
set (which we're now using) in a stronger colour? if not, I'd be happy to
ask (if its necessary my colleague speaks Spanish)

Everything at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IceWeaselIcon is either similarly
too washed out or presumably infringing. I apologise if I've missed debate
on this already - this bug seems to be the only mention of this issue in

Please can we have one of these improved icons in Etch? the web browser is
one of the most used applications in many desktop users' work flow and
Iceweasel/Firefox probably the most popular choice of web browser.
It is important that one's eye is able to find the icon for it in the
panel, on the desktop or in the task switcher as quickly as possible to
improve the pace at which one is able to use one's computer.
As has been said, the current icon's light green colour makes it too
difficult to see. You only have to look at most icons to see they tend to
use primary colours. Against a background of other icons with primary
colours the Iceweasel icon blends away into obscurity. For the sake of an
improved Etch desktop I believe this issue is an important one to fix.

I checked other similar bugs with earlier versions of f-spot and they
mentioned missing libsqlite0 and libmono-sqlite dependencies. I have both
installed.

When I subsequently tried to run F-Spot, the program begins to start, I
see 'Starting F-Spot photo...' as a minimised window then that disappears.
I ran it from the command line and got the following:

** (/usr/lib/f-spot/f-spot.exe:8383): CRITICAL **: _wapi_shm_file_open:

My partition had filled up completely. I made space and ran F-Spot again,
it loaded ok and the pictures had after all been imported.

If all this is because of running out of disk space, couldn't F-Spot have 
said 'There is no space left in /home, please make some space and try
again'?




Bug#393068: F-Spot unhandled exception with ButtonPressEvent on startup

2006-10-14 Thread petes-bugs
Package: f-spot
Version: 0.1.11-3
Severity: grave

After installing F-Spot on an up-to-date Debian Testing and running it for
the first time and all subsequent times I get this:

An unhandled exception was thrown: The handler for the event
ButtonPressEvent should take '(System.Object,Gtk.ButtonPressEventArgs)',
but the signature of the provided handler ('HandleZoomOut') is
'(System.Object,System.EventArgs)'
