[Bug 229668] Re: yelp documentation crash on link mines manual [hardy]

2009-07-20 Thread Andrew Sayers
I'm also experiencing this bug, in Jaunty AMD64.  There's no specific
event that triggers the crash - the valgrind log suggests that there
might be an element of randomness about the process.

I've attached the output of a `gdb` session and a separate `valgrind`
session.  I couldn't get the program to actually crash while running
valgrind, but the log does show some definite misbehaviour.  It's
possible that valgrind somehow avoids actually crashing.

[Bug 392207] [NEW] Missing line-end comma in debian/control

2009-06-25 Thread Andrew Sayers
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gedit-plugins

This bug was sent manually, but the text was written to a template, as I
have several similar bugs to report today.  Please see my recent bug
reports for a list, or bug #391165 for the root cause.

Version 2.26.2-0ubuntu1 of gedit-plugins has a missing line-end comma in
the Build-Dependencies section of debian/control.  There should be a
comma in the area marked by ***asterisks***:

I haven't tested the exact effects of this issue in gedit-plugins.  It
might be that these dependencies are unnecessary and can be removed, or
it might be that some features are silently disabled (see bug #365770
for an example).  If the dependencies should stay, the bug can be fixed
by inserting a comma in the marked area.

2009-06-12 Thread Andrew Sayers
Yeah, cancel my previous theory (two instances of the screensaver
running at once).  I've just had access to the computer again - the bug
is still there and there's no sign of any second instance.  It is
possible to stop the screensaver by killing gnome-screensaver while
Kaffeine runs, so I'm marking this a gnome-screensaver issue too.

[Bug 365770] Re: Screensaver starts while playing a Video with Kaffeine

2009-06-12 Thread Andrew Sayers
 Well, gnome-screensaver inhibition (through gnome-screensaver-command -i)
 works as expected, so the odds are more likely in kaffeine's field.

Hmm, interesting.  I had a quick poke around in the source for Kaffeine
and Gwenview, which shows:

1) Gwenview uses completely different methods to disable the
screensaver.  Gobnuts, could you check whether Gwenview triggers the
screensaver when the screensaver is disabled?  If not, this is probably
an unrelated bug, which should be filed against Gwenview

2) I also can't see any changes to the way Kaffeine handles the screensaver 
between 0.8.6 (in Intrepid) and 0.8.7 (in Jaunty).
   Search (case-insensitively) for 'xtest' in 'kaffeine/src/kaffeine.cpp' to 
see the screensaver-related bits

3) I can't work out how to get any better debugging information out of
Kaffeine without recompiling it

4) If someone can work out how to make Kaffeine print kdDebug messages
(perhaps with kdebugdialog?), or is willing to do some experimental
recompilation, there are some possible causes we could investigate

5) Even if Kaffeine is the direct cause, it's not doing anything that
should break Peter's gconftool-2 workaround, so I still think the gnome-
screensaver guys should look into this

I can confirm that this is broken in Jaunty, and that the version in
Pobice's PPA (https://launchpad.net/~robert-pobice/+archive/ppa)
includes the MythTV plug-in.

I don't agree this is a low priority issue - Myth's interface is
designed for a very specific use case, so totem support is important for
a lot of people.

[Bug 234368] Re: Secondary keyboard layouts invalid after Reboot

2008-07-04 Thread Andrew Sayers
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 23762 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/23762

Further use suggests that when Gnome's keyboard preferences applet
changes keyboard layouts, it only changes the keys mentioned directly in
a configuration file, rather than those included by reference.  Perhaps
the program should chdir() to the correct location before calling xkb?

I assume that Gnome's keyboard preferences uses XKB behind the scenes.
XKB stores its configuration files in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols, and
allows symbol tables to be include other symbol tables by reference.
The 'gb(dvorak)' layout includes 'us(dvorak)' then just redefines half a
dozen keys.  Similarly, 'gb(intl)' includes 'latin' and
'level3(ralt_switch)', and defines eight keys itself.  Have a look at
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/gb to see what I'm talking about.

I have my XkbLayout set to gb(dvorak) in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and two
layouts defined in keyboard preferences: UK Dvorak and UK international.
When I change layouts from Dvorak to international, the keys specified
directly in gb(intl) change to their expected meanings, but the other
keys remain those of gb(dvorak).  In other words, the settings that
should be included from 'latin' and 'level3(ralt_switch)' are ignored.
It seems very much as if the 'include' commands in the Xkb configuration
file are being ignored.

[Bug 234368] Re: Secondary keyboard layouts invalid after Reboot

2008-06-06 Thread Andrew Sayers
I agree - my experience described above is identical to that described
in bug #23762, and fixing xorg.conf as described there solves the
problem for me.  How about we redefine these two bugs as something like
the following:

Gnome should reset the xkblayout at login

When the xkblayout (as stored in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and as reported by
`xkbcomp`) disagrees with the layout specified by gnome-keyboard-
properties, the only way to change the keyboard layout from that
specified in /etc/X11/xorg.conf is to add or remove a keyboard layout.
This seems to be because gnome-keyboard-properties can't switch layouts
unless one of its layouts is currently specified.

The suggested fix is therefore to set the xkblayout to the default at
the start of every session, rather than assuming that xkblayout will do
it.

[Bug 182882] wishlist: previews should be loaded in order sorted by ctime

2008-01-14 Thread Andrew Sayers
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

I have a camera with a low speed USB connection.  Generating previews
for the pictures means downloading each picture in turn, where each
image takes a second to download.  When I have 100 pictures on the
camera and only care about the 10 I just took, this means I have to wait
over a minute to view the ones that interest me.

When sorting the queue of files to generate previews for, the most-
recently-modified files should be placed earlier in the queue, as
they're more likely to be interesting to the user.

If there's a particularly good reason why this is a bad idea in the
general case, how about detecting when previews are taking a long time,
and using a different sorting algorithm in that case?

[Bug 183043] Administration items are silently reset when set by non-admin users

2008-01-14 Thread Andrew Sayers
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: alacarte

To replicate this issue:

1. Log in as a user that is not in the admin group*
2. Run alacarte
3. Tick one of the unticked administrators-only options (e.g. Login Window)
4. Wait 5 seconds
5. The box will untick itself

* Or edit /etc/group and remove yourself from the admin group - no need
to log in/out this way

I assume that the inability to select these options is a feature rather
than a bug, but the particular implementation (silently undoing your
actions) is quite annoying.  It would be better to:

* grey out the tick box for those options, so that it can't be ticked in the 
first place
* as a tooltip, and as a popup if the user tries to tick the grey box, explain 
that only users in the 'admin' group can use this item
