Bug#483819: libcompizconfig0: Couldn't load plugin 'ccp'

2008-05-31 Thread John Halton
I'm having the same problem here, using gtk-window-decorator. 

Please note also that the same problem occurs if you load compiz
rather than compiz-fusion by running compiz --replace gconf. The title
bard and window borders disappear in the same way, except in that case
you don't get the Couldn't load plugin 'ccp' error.

Here's the output when running with the gconf option under Gnome: 

$ compiz --replace gconf
Checking for Xgl: not present. 
Detected PCI ID for VGA: 
Checking for texture_from_pixmap: present. 
Checking for non power of two support: present. 
Checking for Composite extension: present. 
Comparing resolution (1280x1024) to maximum 3D texture size (4096):
Passed.
Checking for nVidia: present. 
No nvidia-settings program available to determine VideoRam.Checking
for FBConfig: present. 
Checking for Xgl: not present. 
Starting gtk-window-decorator

I don't know whether that means the problem lies elsewhere than in the
libcompizconfig0 library.

Bug#449475: Serious doubts about the distributability of a file

2008-01-07 Thread John Halton

I agree that the notices are incompatible, but I think the problem is
more fundamental. The big problem is in the licence terms for the UNC
code:

   Permission to use, copy, modify and distribute this software and its
   documentation for educational, research and non-profit purposes, without
   fee, and without a written agreement is hereby granted,

This limitation to educational, research and non-profit purposes
makes the UNC code non-free. So if any UNC code is included in the
file in question, then this makes the file undistributable in main.
Probably OK in non-free given that Debian is a non-profit
organisation.

Bug#446633: Amarok hangs on start-up

2007-10-14 Thread John Halton
Package: amarok

Severity: grave

When starting Amarok, as soon as the GUI appears the application
hangs. 

Running strace gives the following output immediately before/around
the time the application hangs:

ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0

The strace input then continues to loop in the manner of the last few
lines until the application is killed.

This affects both Amarok 1.4.6 and 1.4.7 (which I installed to see if
that cleared the problem).

Thanks,

John

Thanks. The new wxwidgets is only in Sid for AMD at the moment, but 
once the i386 version arrives I'll give it a try.


I upgraded wxwidgets to the version now in Sid, and that has cleared the 
problem. This bug can now be closed - thanks for your help in 
identifying the problem.

Bug#444768: Audacity crashes when opening preference dialogue

2007-09-30 Thread John Halton

Package: audacity
Version:  1.3.3-1+b1
Severity: grave

When selecting preference dialogues in Audacity, the program segfaults. 
This applies whether using the Edit - Preferences menu item, or when 
preferences are changed from within other dialogues (e.g. clicking 
Options from within the export dialogue).


Here's the full output when I run audacity from the command line and 
select Edit - Preferences.

Bug#412045: Problem when Installing mysql-server-5.0

2007-02-23 Thread John Halton

I had a similar issue a few months ago with the mysql package being in
a very bad inconsistent state, and with no apparent way of either
uninstalling or fixing the package. If you do a Google search for
'mysql debian Package is in a very bad inconsistent state' you will
find a number of others whom this has affected.

The solution that worked for me is the one found in the first comment
here - www.debianhelp.org/node/1962 - of setting the RUNLEVEL
initialisation variable at start-up. I mention this in case it helps
track down/reproduce the problem. It seems the problem may also be
related to splashy, unless I have misunderstood what the commenter in
that thread is saying.

Bug#402309: Multiple credit-card charges for single Magnatunes purchase

2006-12-09 Thread John Halton

Package: amarok
Version: 1.4.4-1
Severity: serious

When you make a purchase using the Magnatunes integrated store, Amarok 
issues the payment instruction multiple times, resulting in overcharging.


While Magnatunes are very good at picking up on this (it seems it's an 
upstream bug that's happening to a number of people) and reversing the 
charge, it strikes me that a bug that costs users *actual money* 
deserves at the very least a serious tag. (Credit card fees and 
currency exchange rates means you don't get the full amount back if 
you're not paying in US dollars.)


Reproducing the problem: go to the Magnatunes integrated store, 
right-click an album title and select purchase. Enter your credit card 
details and click purchase.


Expected behaviour: get charged the chosen amount, once.

Observed behaviour: get a single confirmation that the transaction has 
been a success, with links to download the track. But then emails come 
through indicating that the transaction has in fact been processed more 
than once - I'm currently looking at three separate confirmation emails 
for a single purchase, with three separate charges to my card.
