[Bug 398300] Re: The new gdm doesn't give an option to run /etc/X11/Xsession

2010-07-20 Thread Sam Vilain
This new package didn't seem to work for me after a Lucid re-install - I
still needed to put the .desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions - any
debugging tips?  I also use ecryptfs ~, if that is important.

[Bug 116183] GTK's compose map is different to X's

2007-05-22 Thread Sam Vilain
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libgtk2.0-0

I'm guessing that GTK is the root cause of this.  But basically, I can't
type certain compose sequences in Mozilla, OOo or gnome-terminal that
work in xterm or emacs.  Or, the resultant sequences will be different.

For instance, in emacs or xterm if I type Multi_key underscore A,
I get a ā as defined in /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose.
However, if I enter it in any gtk application, I get ª.  This is
particularly irritating when entering pīnyīn, which uses characters like
ǚ.  I have yet to figure out what gtk expects me to hit to compose a
character with a caron on it, or why it doesn't just let X.org do it for
it.

I've seen this in all Ubuntu releases from Dapper to Feisty, and I
expect that this is the root cause behind Bug #98945 too.

Note I'm using xkb directly to configure my keyboard, not gnome-
keyboard-properties.  Every time I start certain gnome-control-panel
applications they will override this keymap  and I will have to re-run
xkbcomp to load the keymap I actually want.

[Bug 51407] Re: postmodern tile set has incorrect chinese characters

Ok, I have confirmed with a native Chinese person that the current
postmodern set is fine and that the problems I raised are just script
style difference.  So you can close this bug :)

[Bug 51400] Can't edit partitions without adding and removing

2006-06-30 Thread Sam Vilain
Public bug reported:

Ok, not being able to resize a partition, I'll begrudgingly accept.

But not being able to select the type of the partition without deleting
and recreating it is quite annoying.

That was my experience running it via ubiquity via the LiveCD installer
on 6.06-final

[Bug 51407] postmodern tile set has incorrect chinese characters

2006-06-30 Thread Sam Vilain
Public bug reported:

Hi there,

Despite not being Chinese, starting mahjongg I am somehow offended on
behalf of the Zhongren that the default tileset has some characters
which are drawn incorrectly; that is to say the character has been
stylised based on poor interpretations of the original brush strokes.
What has probably happened is that already stylised characters were used
as a basis for the postmodern set, and subtleties of the original
strokes were overlooked.

In particular; the 4 of characters is definitely wrong, and the 7 and 8
of characters look awkward.  One or two of the wind tiles do not look to
be composed of valid strokes.  I think most of the others are probably
ok.

It might be worth getting someone who is actually Chinese to look at the
postmodern tile set and point out which characters need fixing.  This
might seem stupid and trivial, but I understand well written script is
important to the Chinese, and Mahjongg is a famous game with much
heritage in that country.

[Bug 51400] Re: Can't edit partitions without adding and removing

2006-06-30 Thread Sam Vilain
I think what happened was the sub-menu was grayed out for me, and it
wasn't completely obvious why.

It did feel like the kind of bug that you'd have to be nuking a Windows
partition from orbit at the time to truly appreciate.  The machine is
still caught with the sickness, every circuit dreading that instruction
processor leap into sector 0.  Even though the system was already
purring more gently, it was still weak, not yet fully capable.  After
some battling, the installer crashed for me
[https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/50957], at
which point I could have sworn I could feel the seething of the entity
on the hard disk below towards my fingers.

Not to be beaten, I noted it down on my bug powder dust trail, swore I'd
curse that behaviour with a bugreport, and fired up ubiquity once more.
The next time through we were much better prepared; not going to fall
for the murphy's cylinder rounding again
[https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/51396], I
opted for a 2.5GB root, and then bore down upon that XP install with
reckless and wanton abandon.  With a firm pass through with parted and
the installation checkmarked go, I reflected upon how cool it was the
first time I got to play Tetris while installing Linux, and how much
infinitely cooler this was, installing via the LiveCD.

So in this nostalgic moment I chose to log my bug reports, and finish it
all off with a gratiutous game of Mahjongg, which, incidentally, was
solved first time.  That's when I knew that the installation had done
the trick.

Anyway, IIRC I had a partition space that I wanted to change to don't
format that was already marked as being ext3.  And, I don't remember
Format to... being available.  So, I reckon if you can't replicate
that behaviour pretty quickly then this bug doesn't really deserve to
exist much longer.

All the best from NZ dude :-)  Keep up the good work and have a great
weekend.

[Bug 31132] XKB errors cause gnome-settings-daemon to exit badly

2006-02-11 Thread Sam Vilain
Public bug reported:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/31132

Affects: control-center gnome-control-center (Ubuntu)
   Severity: Normal
   Priority: (none set)
 Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
If you configure multiple actions to the same key in
System-Preferences-Keyboard / Layout Options, an incorrect XKB
configuration will be generated.

This causes a nasty loop where the settings daemon will load, send
signals to all gnome applications to load a new theme, then die and they
all reset to unthemed again.  ie, all Gnome windows will appear to flash
rapidly between your theme and the system default.  Eventually Gnome
notices and stops restarting gnome-settings-daemon, and you have no
theme at all.

The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 1276 error_code 2 request_code 147 minor_code 9)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
[1139648893,000,xklavier.c:XklStartListen/] The backend does not require man

Workaround: go back into Keyboard configuration and do not assign the
same key to more than one action.

As a side note, I don't see a Keyboard Settings option to turn off
deadkeys.
