Private slots and symbols file

2013-01-08 Thread John Stamp 
Hi, I hope this is the right place to ask...

I'm maintaining liblastfm, a Qt based library, and I'm using
pkgkde-symbolshelper to keep track of the symbols.  A recent upstream
commit removed a private slot from one of the classes, and it's causing
dpkg-gensymbols to complain about the missing symbol.

Since it's a private slot, and external programs shouldn't be accessing
it anyway, is it safe to mark its symbol as optional?

Bug#691294: phonon-backend-vlc: Segfaults on program close; fixed in upstream a8cda824

2012-10-23 Thread John Stamp 
Package: phonon-backend-vlc
Version: 0.6.0-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I've been testing the Last.fm scrobbling client located here:
  https://github.com/lastfm/lastfm-desktop

But if I use phonon's vlc backend, the client consistently segfaults on
exit.  The relevant snippet from valgrind has this:

The following upstream commit fixes it by guarding a pointer.  No more

Bug#506814: phonon 4.2.0-2 can cause Qt widget problems

2008-11-24 Thread John Stamp 
Package: phonon
Version: 4:4.2.0-2
Severity: normal

It looks like the fix for #498573 created another bug.

Compile Qt's musicplayer:
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/phonon-musicplayer.html

Install KDE4, but run musicplayer in a non-KDE environment.  The player 
will be able to find the Phonon plugins, but it will also use KDE's
oxygen style, KDE's file dialog, and the menu and toolbar text will be
invisible.  You can still click on the areas though.

I downgraded to 4.2.0-1 and was able to duplicate this by adding 
/usr/lib/kde4/plugins to QT_PLUGIN_PATH.  So it looks like Qt needs to 
be more selective about which plugins it has access to when it's running 
in a non-KDE environment.

I tried Vincent's suggestion about a symlink just for phonon_backend.  
That gets me audio and Qt's normal widget behavior.

 phonon-backend-xine comes from KDE. Please remove it and try again.
 Try using GStreamer backend instread which the only official Phonon
 4.2.0 backend we ship.

I removed phonon-backend-xine.  Only the GStreamer backend is 
installed.  I see the same problem: KDE dialogs, invisible text, etc.

To be more specific about how I tested: I created a clean test account 
to ensure there weren't any lingering config files, started an xfce4 
session, and ran Qt's musicplayer example in an xterm.

 which phonon backends do you have installed ?

 /Sune

About the phonon backend error, see the discussion here:
  http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/11070

Sune, I don't know if you'd consider this a problem with the Qt or 
phonon packages, but it seems that by default Qt applications look for 
the phonon plugins under /usr/lib/qt4/plugins/.  However, Debian 
installs them under /usr/lib/kde4/plugins/.

startkde takes care of that by setting the QT_PLUGIN_PATH environment 
var.  Something in there also causes ~/.config/Trolltech.conf to update 
the 4.4\libraryPath entry.  Unfortunately, there's two problems with 
this:

1. If a person hasn't run a KDE4 session at least once, Qt doesn't know 
where to find phonon's plugins.

2. For some reason the 4.4\libraryPath entry is getting flooded with 
repetitions.  A new pair appears each time a KDE4 session starts.

2006-06-13 Thread John Stamp 
It looks like a problem with a patch in Debian's kdeutils branch update 
(r548145).

Under certain circumstances, kwalletmanager exits and deletes _dcopRef 
before it's actually been created.  We just need to create _dcopRef 
earlier.  I've attached a slight modification to the patch that seems to 
fix it for me.

Possible bug with konqueror listviews?

2004-08-17 Thread John Stamp 
When konqueror 3.3.0 shows files in any of the following formats:
  Tree View
  Info List View
  Detailed List View
  Text View

I frequently have problems:
  opening files and directories: no action

  selecting and moving groups of files: the file group can be selected, but
  when I try to move them, the group is deselected

  right clicking on a file: doing so deselects the file

This doesn't happen all of the time, though.  I can sometimes get these
things to work again by switching to Icon View and then back.  But then I
can only travel through a few directories before these problems crop up
again.  Icon and Multicolumn Views don't seem affected.

Has anyone else seen this?

 I have a question: would this fix affect only k3b, or cdrdao in
 general? I have ATAPI, a very difficult HP cdwritter that has been
 reported as conflicting with scsi in the kernel (I had to remove scsi
 from kernel, kept throwing it into panick), therefore I have been
 using cdrecord with ATAPI. But I also like using cdrdao from command
 line, besides k3b, etc.
 If not, could someone explain what the fix would be for cdrdao? I got
 late on the thread.
 Thanks to all.
 
 

The fix only affects k3b.  It's bug #227336

For cdrdao to work with kernel 2.6 atapi you will need cdrdao 1.1.7-5.  It's
in both testing and unstable.  To run it from the command line, I use
options: --device /dev/hdc --driver generic-mmc

Hope this helps.

 Correct me if I am wrong but it is the combination of cdrdao 1.1.7 and
 kernel 2.6 that makes trouble. Because cdrdao handles atapi devices
 only with kernel 2.6 (without scsi emulation I mean).
 Maybe I misunderstand all this

Cdrdao in Sid does support atapi on kernel 2.6.  And yes, the problem
appears to be related to cdrdao using the new atapi interface.  K3b assumes
that cdrdao can't handle it.

I should file a bug report, but I haven't tested this much.  I just wanted
something that would quickly work for me.  Can you test if the patch works

 As I've just found out recently (through reporting it incorrectly as a bug
 myself) cdrdao is indeed patched to support ATAPI.  I can confirm this as
 I've tested it myself today.
 
 cdrdao copy --source-device /dev/hdc --device /dev/hdd --speed 24 (etc
 options)
 
 The problem from what I can see is that K3B assumes that the support is
 not there based on the version number and thus disables usage of the
 reader in copying.
 
 I'll test that patch out myself later on when I get a moment to see if I
 can confirm it, but if you could report a bug on it including the patch it
 would be much appreciated.
 
 Btw what effect will this line have on the Debian sources?

 Should this be changed to something to reflect debian's cdrdao package?

OK.  I'll report a bug anyway.  Thanks for checking.

I don't think the suse line has much effect.  Based on the comment in k3b,
my guess is that Suse appended -suse to their version of cdrdao because
it included the backported atapi patch.  Debian has included the patch
since cdrdao 1.1.7-4, but it doesn't seem to play around with a version
suffix.  That's why I resorted to changing the numeric check.
