[Bug 854833] Re: NetworkManager forgets wireless password

2012-07-05 Thread Jacob Nevins
 Is this still a problem in Precise?

On Precise, I'm seeing a problems that look like at least some of the reports 
here (and also bug #877803, which looks very similar but isn't yet linked). 
Here's a verbose me too; the salient features are:
* After a WiFi connection has been dropped or had trouble connecting due to 
marginal signal, Network Manager forgets the password.
** This can happen pretty frequently when I connect to a network at the edge of 
its range.
** (I'd independently formulated a theory similar to one in bug #877803, that 
NM should only update the keyring after successfully authenticating to the 
wireless network. I haven't checked for basis in fact though.)
* Once this has happened, NM never remembers a passphrase entered to connect to 
a network, even if authentication is then successful. Going into Edit 
Connections and entering the passphrase there causes it to be remembered 
(until the next time there's a connection problem).
* I don't have available to all users checked for the connection.
** This is deliberate; I want the wireless credentials stored in the 
(encrypted) home directory, rather than on the root filesystem. So the 
workaround given isn't useful for me.

This all matches symptoms reported previously.

This is quite annoying. If there's any other information I can provide
to help get this fixed, please shout.

[Bug 743265] Re: When using unity, the diplomacy and cities menus are not shown.

2011-07-20 Thread Jacob Nevins
  1) Could you test my package in natty-proposed and report back? We need 
 verification before it can go out to users.
I tried installing freeciv-client-gtk 2.2.4-1ubuntu0.1 on my Natty live CD and 
(a) the global menu was correctly suppressed (launched from menus or command 
line, (b) I didn't see any regressions as far as I tested it (only a few 
minutes). I also sanity checked freeciv-server, freeciv-client-sdl, and 
freeciv-client-xaw. (To answer Karl's earlier question: I didn't see any 
menubar trouble with freeciv-xaw; I know this is a patched version, but I 
checked and Michael's patch only affects the Gtk client. In any case, 
freeciv-xaw is unfortunately broken in other ways.)
I installed by enabling universe and -proposed and installing the new package 
from clean, on the grounds that others are more likely to test the upgrade.

  2) In Oneiric (and in Natty with a backported GTK+ 2.0/GLib), freeciv 
 does not work even a little bit. [...]
Oh dear! The symptom does not sound familiar. I'm not in a position to 
conveniently help track this down.

2011-07-19 Thread Jacob Nevins
@Michael: harking back to my comment #10, can you explain the
observation that gtk/appmenu suppress all the menubars but only one of
them reappears in the dbusmenu-dumper output? It seems a bit bogus
that menubars can be lost in this way. Is some part of the system
somehow distinguishing main from subsidiary menu bars (in which case
ubuntu-local feels unnecessary)? Or is it just latching onto the first
menubar it sees and ignoring the rest?

[Bug 743265] Re: When using unity, the diplomacy and cities menus are not shown.

2011-07-19 Thread Jacob Nevins
@Karl: I tried your 2.2.7 PPA freeciv-client-gtk package on my Natty
live CD, and when launched from the start-menu-equivalent it correctly
disabled the global menu, and the diplomacy UI was accessible. When
launched as freeciv or freeciv-gtk2 from the command-line, global
menu was used; it looks like you used the .desktop fix, so that's
expected. It otherwise seemed to work as far as I tested it (which
wasn't very far).

However, it looks like the .desktop Unity workaround will be superseded
by Michael's work.

@Michael: thanks for dealing with this and for pushing through an SRU. I
can try out the Natty package on my Natty CD when it's available.

Can you review my patch using ubuntu-local, when it's available
(hopefully soon)? I want to be sure I'm using it as intended.

As regards an upstream release, I did wonder whether it should be an
Ubuntu-specific patch, but on reflection, it's small and harmless
enough, so we may as well bung it in upstream (with copious comments);
that way people rolling their own Freeciv on Ubuntu will benefit.

However, it seems quite likely that we won't release another 2.2.x in
the Oneiric timeframe, and any patch almost certainly won't go in 2.3.0
either (unless something else goes wrong with the RC). So it'll probably
be necessary for you to apply the patch in your packaging. I'll make
sure that clean patches against both 2.2.7 and 2.3.0 are available, so
that you have the choice of which version to put in Oneiric. The patch
can be removed for Predictable Penguin :)

[Bug 743265] Re: When using unity, the diplomacy and cities menus are not shown.

2011-07-19 Thread Jacob Nevins
Proposed patches now attached to upstream bug report. Here's the patch
for the stable branches: http://gna.org/bugs/download.php?file_id=13612

(Upstream we're working on a Gtk3 version of the client. I assume the
workaround will be essentially the same?)

Re comment 27: OK, so there is no magic way for you to tell which is the
main menu bar, so you're relying on heuristics, which don't always
work. Fair enough, just wanted to check I wasn't missing anything.

2011-07-19 Thread Jacob Nevins
 We haven't released 2.2.7 in debian yet, if the patch that Michael
 wrote applies cleanly to that we could include it.
Hopefully we shouldn't need Michael's Freeciv disable-global-menu patch for a 
new version, as my patch + his Gtk fix should make it all play nicely for 
Oneiric.

 hopefully 2.2.7 can still make it into oneiric by sync request, so let
 me know if you'd like us to get it uploaded.
I'd definitely recommend trying to get 2.2.7 into Oneiric (assuming you don't 
try for 2.3.0), regardless of what happens with this Unity business. Some nasty 
bugs fixed since 2.2.4 (and hopefully not too many new ones).
