[Bug 831308] Re: Evolution crash when copy/move contact between address books

2014-04-10 Thread DrC
It is possible there was already a copy in the destination folder -
impossible to know now.  Trying again with Firefox open crashed
Evolution (closed it) without triggering an Ubuntu error message.  The
source entry will be deleted having confirmed there is a destination
copy.

Email me if I can be of further help.

I have work to do building a new address book for a new topic.  I will
do so without restarting & report anything more of note.

[Bug 831308] Re: Evolution crash when copy/move contact between address books

2014-04-10 Thread DrC
Has just happened to me on 12.04LTS (encrypted home folder) after an
extended period of non-use.  Bug #822479 refers?

Triggered by trying to move a contact from one address book to another
(coincidentally prehaps, to the last address book on the alphabetically
sorted list)

Reproduced giving a message Ubuntu 12.04LTS has encountered an error -
duly reported - twice within the past half hour or so before this
report.

The error killed Evolution but not the OS.

Evolution was reloaded for the second try (from the top panel icon) so:

If there is a memory leak it is leaking from the OS (ie when Ubuntu
killed the running instance of Evolution it didn't get the memory back)

On the other hand it could be Evolution not managing to move the address
book entry for some other reason.

[Bug 532842] Re: gnome-screenshot crashed with signal 5 in _XError()

2010-04-24 Thread DrC
OK - did a bit of an experiment.  Taking care to keep all windows within
the screen boundary and a smaller target window -

Next try - crashed again.

Then thought - I hadn't actually clicked in the target window to make it
current.  Did so, then inadvertently did a full screen screen shot -
which worked.

Then tried again, set the targeet window as current, screen shot just
the current window, it worked.

So does the problem occur if there is not a current window defined?  (eg
when what was the current window has been closed)

I'm really sorry but I'm having to get some work done, so I have to pass
this one over for now.   I'll come back later and move it on again if it
is still here.

[Bug 532842] Re: gnome-screenshot crashed with signal 5 in _XError()

2010-04-24 Thread DrC
Screen shot target was current window.
First try at a screen shot was unsatisfactory due transparency issues not 
visible on the original.  The unwelcome shadows were from the screen shot 
dialogue which had overlapped the original window.

Second try involved moving the target to the extreme bottom left,
renaming the first try, then trying again with the screen shot dialogue
fairly high up on the right hand side - then bingo - the crash.

Environment was Dell Dimension 4700 with only 512k of RAM, live CD to
test Ubuntu, not install it.  I had three text documents (852 bytes,
14.7Kb and 35.4Kb) already on the desktop, and the first screen shot was
96.4k - as would the second have been.

For what it's worth (and so as not to lose it, because I may have
limited storage here) all this current desktop content is attached.  The
.tgz is another 100k on the desktop so it looks as though the problem is
not one of available storage.

I have seen this when a file is opened by two clients if one tries to update it 
while the other is still connected.  After the initial problem is reported by 
OpenOffice a subsequent attempt to drag and drop after saving locally can give 
the error-success contradiction.

I have also had occasional repair cycles when reopening OOo files hosted

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gvfs

I got an error report when saving a server-hosted OpenOffice file.  I saved the 
file locally then tried to drag and drop the local file onto the samba share.
The "error while copying" simply showed "success" in teh more details option.

The file had not been saved onto the server.

The file was also open on another client.  When that client released the
file the update was not applied automatically; it had to be dragged and
dropped again.

I was collecting screenshots for Gnome bug 556932 (q.v.) including Help-
About Gnome and Help-About-Ubuntu details.

Having successfully captured the shots I needed, on closing the windows
I got a Yelp crash message from Apport which I duly tried to process

And got the attached screen shot and crash dump.

This has happened to me once before when collecting bug evidence - and very 
recently:
-rw--- 1 cwsup cwsup 2849428 2009-11-01 18:16 _usr_bin_yelp.1000.crash

That crash dump is no longer available, but it was associated with
Ubuntu Launchpad bug 469116

Both times I was investigating what looks like data corruption in Gnome
Sudoku on Ubuntu 9.10.

[Bug 469116] Re: Error in Sudoku time keeping.

2009-11-01 Thread DrC
 Why do you open a bug if you know it's a duplicate? 

Last time I had a similar error message I did not have the presence of
mind to keep the 'elapsed time' message on screen.  I just cleared the
dialogue and went to Help - report a bug.   I realised later that the
collected information may have been deficient in something useful, like
the source of the cleared error message.

This time I ran ubuntu-bug (help is not available with the dialogue box
open) while the error box was still live.

Ubuntu-bug did not pick up the duplicate, and I did not want to lose any
of the evidence - so I went along with it and opened the new bug.  But I
tried to do it helpfully

If the evidence I have managed to collect is no more useful than that
already available, then this bug can be closed as a duplicate with
nothing to add.

My problem was an excessively long reported time taken.  The active time
looked OK.  I have added my report to the Gnome bug  556932 which
mentions both types of timing errors.   This report may be a duplicate
of launchpad #282315 if the too long and too short timing errors really
do come from the same bug - but comments on 556932 suggest they may be
different problems.

[Bug 223216] Re: evolution crashes when backup

2009-07-13 Thread DrC
I tried it today at school on Jaunty - no problem seen.  NB this is a
different single email account.

On my current (LTS) Hardy, if I backup choosing not to restart Evolution
after the backup. the backup apparently does not happen, and on restart
I get the "Evolution appears to have exited unexpectedly the last
time" with Ignore and Recover options.   This is an old copy of
my various mail accounts, which I stopped using some time ago.

If this issue with Hardy is not widely reproducible, let me know what I
can do to help - but note there is still nothing in /var/crash

For information my live email is on an unsupported Feisty system - which
I will probably migrate over the summer to Jaunty.

today without issue.

The original problem was almost certainly a CD read issue, and the only
useful input is the observation that the read checks failed, allowing a

The unreliability is not apparent on a CD written today, loaded today.

I strongly suspect the CD reader.  I have tried again tonight on the same 
hardware with CD No 1 used previously.  Warm reboot from shutting down Windows 
came up alright on the live CD with both panels and all expected panel contents.
A shutdown and cold boot also loaded OK.  I ran a launchpad hardware test which 
should appear somewhere with my email account attached.  There were two defects:
 - one - the default English keyboard is the US keyboard.  I am in the UK.   (A 
colleague who installed from the live CD ended up with a US keyboard and had to 
be shown how to correct it.)
 - the second - no sound.  I don't know whether this is a characteristic of 
this Dell model.   The welcoming chime was loud and clear when I returned the 
machine to Windows and my wife.
I would recommend putting this bug report in suspense unless/until either:
 - someone else has a similar experience or
 - a bug is found in the read checking logic of the live boot
in either case, with my wife's agreement I will do my best to make the hardware 
really flakey (ie let it cool right down) and see if there is a detectable 
difference between this original version and any update.

CD fault confirmed - two CDs written on the same drive using media from
the same close source both demonstrated unreliability - one consistently
worse than the other.  The read process is marginal.

The same two media performed with consistent load times and no errors on
other hardware.

It may still be worth looking at the bug detail to see whether misreads
have been accepted (checksum checks failing?) or error handling code has
misbehaved.   But such considerations are way out of my depth.

COLD BOOT - disk error message on two out of two occasions, offering to

REBOOT - always (6 times now) reads OK as far as I know, including the

I have to give this hardware back to my wife for now.  If others

[Bug 366344] Re: gnome-panel crashed with signal 7 in panel_shell_register()

2009-04-24 Thread DrC
Reboot - I got an X-server error (not visible) with an out-of-vertical
synch static black band across the centre of the display.  The body of
the error message was not visible.

There was a choice (Retry or Continue I think from memory) but the
keyboard was not working properly ( I got another retry button and other
screen corruptions but neither option was properly selectable, and
Return didn't).

Ctrl-Alt-Del got me into a reboot.   On the third attempt the live CD
booted properly and I got panels and menus on the GUI.

I cannot exclude the possibility of CD reader faults - yet.  I will do a
check on the CD and report back..

[Bug 207072] Re: nautilus does not display samba shares for machines inside an ADS network.

2008-09-16 Thread DrC
Me too.

After the fantastic performance of Gutsy I stuck my neck out and said the Linux 
desktop, with all the advantages of open source and collaborative technology, 
was now suitable for my workplace.
The various problems with Samba access have set back my credibility as well as 
the idea of client Linux systems.  The only good news is that I froze everybody 
else on Gutsy, and have stopped any new installations.  So people can still see 
how good it can be.
It is a real shame to see something so right develop into something so wrong 
that then takes so long to get right again.  And the fact that something can go 
wrong so permanently leaves end users worried that they cannot rely on Open 
Source brands.

Apologies for putting this on the bug thread - but however and wherever
it went wrong,  you guys and gals are the ones who can mend it - or get
it mended.  Thank you for being there, and for the work you do.

2008-07-08 Thread DrC
After a couple of Evolution-related Ubuntu updates (Hardy) this problem
is still here.

The process outlined above is not totally clear to me.   I ask Evolution
to restart after the backup - should I run the process before I backup,
when I get the option dialogue, when the crash report is showing or
afterwards?

Or should I untick the restart box and go through the procedure after
the backup or when I restart?

Incidentally, looking now (after using Help-Report a Problem then coming

[Bug 207072] Re: nautilus does not display samba shares for machines inside an ADS network.

2008-06-19 Thread DrC
Apologies if I am a) stupid, b) ill- or un-informed c) an  extremely un-
typical user:

It sounds OK to me provided the availability of an anonymous login
doesn't stop me logging in with credentials if that is what I want to
do.

In school, we have some very unsophisticated users who just need it to
work.   If they are pupils, an anonymous login is possibly all they
require to get to the resources that have been put 'on a plate' for them
by a member of staff.

We also have some very unsophisticated members of staff who just need it
to work, but who need write access to the same share.  So their
credentials must be used.  And, sadly, it does have to be the same
share.  We tried giving staff a back door - but then when they telling
students where they had put the resources, they only knew the back door
way to them..

We have a sophisticated network, with separate authentication domains
for different academic departments.  This has the advantage of
resilience, with the ability for a department to run in the vacations
when other parts of the campus may be without power if major work is
being done.  There is no one 'server room' the whole campus is dependent
on.   But in normal circumstances staff and pupils may need access to
their shares on domains other than the one their client is joined to.

At present, if the credentials used by a client to log in to the 'home'
domain match those required for the foreign domain (user name and
password) the connection just works.   If the credentials do not match,
a dialogue asks for new credentials to be used for the foreign domain.
Whilst a pupil does not need any privileges to read-only the public
material on a foreign domain, a member of staff will if the intention is
to update, edit or add to the material.

So far, we can get away without anonymous login, because pupils can log
in with the foreign credentials if we make it necessary.  But the
problem is visitors - either substitute teachers or visiting pupils from
consortium schools, or visitors to out-of-hours events (when there are
no technicians on site) who bring their own laptops.

So ideally, we need anonymous access for users who do not have any
credentials, and who may be working on a client computer that is not a
member of one of our domains.

The current Desktop-Places dialogue "Connect to Server..." is a bit
clunky, but would be OK if the mounts could be made persistent.  If the
mount has to be redone each time the client reboots, my unsophisticated
staff will need a facility similar to that in Windows, which will
remount a share in the same way it did last time, if they are to enjoy
the delights of Ubuntu.

Sorry if all this is stating the obvious, but I would rather look silly
now, than find out I should have said so earlier!

Thanks

Chris

[Bug 103466] Re: sudoku sometimes fails to show scores when game finished

2008-06-11 Thread DrC
It is now much improved, and the work-around of delete-undo seems to
release it every time.

But the elusive little bug is still there appearing very occasionally!

The screen shot shows how I finished when I caught it this time.   All
the moves were logical, filling all cells except those with notes, up to
the point where I had to make a choice.

Tracker 1 was first tried with the 4 and 9 interchanged, resulting in an
unfillable cell, so eliminated.

This resulted in the 9 and 4, then tracker2.
This is the first try at tracker 2 starting with the 6 on the same row as the 
blue 9.

At one stage somewhere in the whole process, I miss-clicked a duplicated
value into a cell when I was trying to click to open a note - getting
the red font numbers.  I used the click-on clear icon to remove it.

On a couple of occasions I mis-clicked trying to make a note, and got
the 9 digit icons.  I cleared these by clicking 'elsewhere'.  Sometimes
elsewhere didn't work (not on the grid or not an editable cell) and I
had to click a different elsewhere.

Thanks for the great improvements since last month.

Hoping this helps you find the elusive and hopefully last little bug**r!

[Bug 216104] Re: Hardy - Nautilus shortcut to Samba Share reports wrong password, double icons

re https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/216104/comments/8
I will note that no Ubuntu folks have made a peep about this report. Could we 
have some feedback on this one, please?

There is a lot on bug 209520 (about problems when security=user) that
looks very similar.

I posted there two comments on the similarity between security=user and
my own case with security=share but the client username does not match
the server samba account name.   Rather than double post, you can find
them at

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/209520/comments/77
and
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/209520/comments/105

and #106 chides me (again) for posting on the wrong bug thread - sorry,
but I am really worried that if there is a link between these two sets
of symptoms (ie a common source) it will be harder to nail the bug if
the available evidence is too dispersed.

In my trawling (can't remember duplicate/related bug numbers I'm afraid)
I've seen several other reports that in the mixed Linux/Windows
environment the usability of Hardy is much degraded from Gutsy, and that
Hardy is for these users at least, a big disappointment.

Hope you can nail it soon

Sebastien - did my post

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/209520/comments/77

I too believe the title is misleading, but I may have found the reason
why it seems like a 'security=share' issue.   With security=user the
intricacies of the problem become apparent when your user name on the
client is different from the samba account name on the server.

With security=share this is always the case.

But this is clearly a complex issue, and I might be making more out of
my bit of evidence than it warrants.  I wonder how many other users see
the problem when client user name and samba account name are different?

I have a similar effect, but when browsing my Hardy identity is
different from my Samba account identity.  As a result I do not expect
to see secure content or non-browsable shares.

We do not map samba passwords to nix passwords because some of our
pupils are quite adventurous - so in that respect we may not be typical
of users in general.

And since my setup is all 'security=user' I probably shouldn't even be
posting here.

[Bug 209520] Re: SMB error: Unable to mount location when server configured with security=share

2008-05-20 Thread DrC
Sebastien -

A recent update to Hardy seems to have eliminated one problem - that of
only being able to see into a W2003 share by declaring a folder in it.
In that respect Hardy now behaves as Gutsy did, and I can see the top
level directories.

Possibly following the same release, I can now browse the 'Windows'
network as I would expect.   It's not a feature I use often (6
domain/workgroups, 400+ hosts) so I cannot be certain of the pre-mod
state.

I have mixed W2003/old Mandrake/current Debian servers, 1000 users with
3 levels of security.  The Windows severs are whatever they are, the
Linux servers all configured 'security = user' and mostly PDCs.   So not
really relevant to this thread? though several symptoms seem to be
shared,

For obvious reasons there is a limited amount of testing I can do, but
if I have anything of value (to this or any other thread/bug) just ask.

I also have a much smaller scale but similar set up at home which I used
to use to pilot development work.  This home network is still pretty
important to my family but I can and do play with it from time to time.
Time is my problem, but if there's any way I can help you can always ask
- I will say yes if I can.  But bear in mind, please, that I'm a user
rather than a builder.

I have a half term break next week - when I will not be on the big
network.

a) Do I need to repost in the 207072 thread or will the information

b) If I should repost,  Is mine a different bug or is it a consequence

[Bug 209520] Re: SMB error: Unable to mount location

2008-05-06 Thread DrC
Some detail hoping it will help:

NB - the reports above resonate with my experience, but I thing the
Subject line is misleading.  I am filing my report here because I
believe it is easier to spot a different bug posted as the same, than to
find the same bug posted as different.  Be kind to me - I mean well ;)

All my samba servers have (amongst others) a public share (Samba logs me
on as nobody, nogroup if credentials are not supplied) and a user share
which (naturally) needs credentials.

I too get the 'not mounted' message but this is a timing problem - after
getting the message I invariably find the share is now mounted, whether
the public share or my user share.

User shares give no problem as far as I can see.  My credentials are
collected and it all works.

Public shares give a problem if my credentials are needed.   For
instance, in the public share is a staff_only folder.   Even when I try
to connect to public giving my user name, I end up as nobody, nogroup
and so, of course, I cannot get into the staff_only folder.  Hardy does
not ask me for credentials.

If I try to connect giving the staff_only folder as well as my user
share name, Hardy does ask for my credentials.   However, Hardy seems
not to use them, and I still end up as nobody, nogroup and still cannot
get into the folder.

It seems as though Hardy looks to see if credentials are required, and
if not, will not present them.

The change I would hope to see is a reversion to Feisty-Gutsy behaviour
which I never noticed because it just worked, but I think credentials
were presented to samba if they were required OR IF THEY WERE OFFERED.

If I give no UserName when connecting, I expect to be nobody, nogroup
If I give a user name I expect my credentials to be verified with samba 
(currently they are not) and then to be username,primarygroup, even when 
connecting to a public share.

My Sambas range from an old Mandrake to the latest Debian.

Let me know if you need any config files etc.

[Bug 103466] Re: sudoku sometimes fails to show scores when game finished

2008-05-03 Thread DrC
Another example.

It is difficult to know what causes it, but I suspect either the
tracker, or reaching a dead end on a track.   This time I did not use
the notes feature.

In the finished game, neither clear (from the micro-menu) nor delete
(from the keyboard) released the game when Edit-Undone.

But closed and then reselected from stored games, Delete-Undo released
it immediately.

Unless you need more of the same, I will stop reporting these, and wait
until I have used a tracker but got the right choice first time, toi see
whether it is the dead end that messes things up...

Unless you can think of a more helpful strategy?

Another game using notes, one tracker with a dead end track, then the
other track completes.

Again, completion was not detected.

Deleting then undoing did not resolve the problem.

Closing it and then reloading it put it into a state where deleting then
undoing the delete resolved it.

FWIW I attach a screen shot of the completed puzzle.

The two tracks were testing the position of the digit 9 in the centre
block.  the alternates were dead centre or bottom left, tested in that
order.

Hope it helps.

Work around -

My Heron game above ended up as a saved game.

I have released myself from it by deleting one of the answers and then
using Undo.

During the original session I tried deleting and re-entering answers to
unlock it but without success.   I also tried this on the second session
without effect.   Something about the Undo was more useful than re-
entering.

Hardy Heron:

This version is much better, but can still fail to recognise a finished
game.

Game history:

On my way to finishing this one I had one dead end track with 'show
unfillable cells' enabled so I got an unfillable cell indication.

I also mis-keyed on a couple of cells, putting an answer in
(subsequently deleted) instead of a reminder note.

Most answers were typed in but some were selected (when selecting the
cell to be filled gave me the small keypad icon).

The finally complete game was totally dead pan (no celebration
flashing).

Environment is Heron automatically upgraded from Feisty, upgrade was not
without incident - see 222416
