[Bug 1460997] [NEW] Wastebasket / Trash can't handle long file names

2015-06-02 Thread markling
Public bug reported:

Can't delete files with names longer than 131 characters.

Thunar says:

File operation in progress
Moving files into the wastebasket...

Unable to create wastebasket info file
File name too long

Using 'rm' on the command line does delete the file.

gvfs-trash, however, produces the same error on the command line:

Error deleting file: Unable to create wastebasket info file: File name

[Bug 406373] Re: rhythmbox crashed with SIGSEGV in rb_encoder_encode()

2014-09-20 Thread markling
This bug appears to have been fixed!

It seems so.

I installed Rhythbox the other day, completely on the off-chance because
I had got fed up with being unable to update my ipod. And it worked! I
just did it again too!

This is brilliant. Linux is brilliant. We are really not worthy of such
greatness, us miserable ungrateful, scrounging users. What have we done
to deserve such gifts? I am sorry for ever doubting linux. I am sorry
for every foul word.

I just wish I had consulted a clairvoyant months ago, because I might
have discerned sooner that the bug had been fixed and it was possible to
update my ipod again.

Don't mind us, we'll just talk amongst ourselves.

2013-10-08 Thread markling
This error is still effecting me. It has been this way for four years.

I have a pdf open in Okular. If I search for a term with two words,
Okular will not find it if the term runs over a line. So you have to
remember to search for either of the words in the term, and lug past all
those matches where the single word was found but the term wasn't there.
Linux pdf search can't handle two words. It's a joke.

[Bug 1230231] [NEW] gnome-sound-recorder does not record

2013-09-25 Thread markling
Public bug reported:

gnome-sound-recorder not working.

Failure was, initially, an attempt to get it recording streaming audio
out of the box.

That having failed, I tried changing its options, and my (alsa) sound
options. Failing that I started looking for help online: the problem
looked horribly complex and the way to a solution looked frought with
difficulty, with a horrendously steep learning curve. It looked like I
might have to learn all about Linux's underlying sound system just to
get the recording device to work. I gave up and went back to my work
without the hope that I might go an as before, doing the recording of
streaming audio that had been an essential part of it.

That was nearly a year ago when I upgraded to Xubuntu, and I have
recovered the same steps again occassionally, just to check it still
wasn't working, and just to check that I've not seen an easy solution
because I'm stupid. I think I have come to understand that I'm not
stupid; I'm a user. And the sound recorder doesn't work.

In the sound-recorder interface, the options are stuck.

'Record from input' offers only one option: Master
'Record as' offers no options: it is blank.

Pressing record does nothing. The sound level indicator is flat.

I have played with some of the settings in the user interface for (Alsa)
sound preferences. But it has acheived nothing. Most of the settings in
the Alsa interface are not written in English anyway. They are written
in some sort of arcane sound architecture language that can be
understood by nobody but sound software experts, programmers and perhaps
linux computer administrators.

The Alsa output options are actually refreshingly comprehensible. They
are written in plain English. But it's input options are gibberish. The
Campaign for Plain English are worth a ganders. The idea of plain
English is not that you have to write everything in goo-goo baby-
language, or spell it out as if it is thought that users are idiots. You
just have to write user interfaces in a way that allows people not
immersed in the arcane world of sound architectures to use them.

This is a bug because it doesn't work and because there is no way for a
sensible user to find any reasonable way of getting it working.

Woah there though. My description of Alsa user interface settings is
only the *impression* I have after being unable to make any sense of
them. The input settings are actually described in fairly plain English.
All of the settings are not. And in combination, the effect is to
overwhlem the user with technical gibberish. The programmers have
obviously put a lot of effort into making an user-friendly interface. It
just seems there's work to be done because it doesn't work and the
interface doesn't help. So you are left with two choices: blame the
sound interface or blame the sound recorder. I blame both. The one fails
to work, the other fails to make any sense. And that is the crucial
thing about the sound interface - it's hard to make sense of what should
be a simple thing. I simply need to record streaming audio.

[Bug 1230231] Re: gnome-sound-recorder does not record

2013-09-25 Thread markling
Something else of note regarding the actual bug.

The user interface for my (alsa) sound settings seems to only offer
options when there is a sound programme active.

The 'Recording' tab in my sound settings interface says: No application
is currently recording audio.

It says this even after I open Sound Recorder. Opening Audacity doesn't
make any difference.

Input devices has a thicket of options.

So try this: You are a user. You want to record streaming audio. You
find the recorder doesn't work.

You go to input devices in the sound settings user interface. It has two
lots of options. I.e. each option has a multitude of options. Ok, Fine.
So lets see the 'Show' options:

'
All input devices
All except monitors
Hardware input devices
Virtual input devices
Monitors
'

So your first question is, where's streaming audio? I consider it a sign
of my relative technical sophistication that the phrase 'streaming
audio' makes sense to me. Just think how many people don't. How far
would they get?

Anyway, back to me. I can't see streaming audio. I don't even have any
input device as far as I know. I have a computer. I don't have a
microphone. I have an earphonse socket. I record my music on it. I
listen to it in my earphones. I use the web. That's it. Devices? I dread
to know the difference between hardware, virtual and monitor devices.
I'm sure its interesting. But I don't have the luxury of spare time.
Would that I had.

So you select 'All devices' of course.

It offers you then two other options. It offers you a volume control for
Monitor of built in audio analogue stereo.  And one for Built in
audio analogue stereo.

I don't even know what that is. Is it my sound card? Does my computer
even have a sound card? I consider it a mark of my technical superiority
over most nobby users that I even know that my computer *probably*
doesn't have a sound card. It *probably* has a sound chip! Aren't I
clever. If I had time to spare, I even might look it up. But I don't, so
I'll get back to trying to get my sound recorder to work.

As for what built in audio analogue stereo is, the prospect of looking
it up online fills me with despair. This is just the first option. That
could take a whole evening on its own. There's a whole thicket of
options to get through yet. I mean, elsewhere it offers me an option for
digital stereo. Isn't it all digital? How do I get it to record
streaming audio?

Anyway, built in audio analogue stereo is offers me some other
options: microphone 1, microphone 2, line in, analogue input, video.
None of them seem to describe anything I know.

As far as I'm aware, I don't have any analogue input devices. What is an
analogue input device? I don't have any microphones (being a superior
sort of computer user, I know my computer *probably* has a mic built in
somewhere, but I don't use it). I don't have a video connected. I don't
even have a DVD playing. And 'line in' - is that like if you have an
audio line going *in* to the back of your computer. I think I may have a
line in. But I think last time I looked there may have only been a mic
input. I don't remember. But I just need to record streaming audio
anyway.

I tried various options. Nothing seems to make any difference. It seems
the sound settings user interface wants to be told about input devices.
Is my sound card an input device? Is the web an input device? Dare I try
and find the answer when the ground ahead looks very much like quicksand
that will suck you in up to your neck in sound architecture before you
know it?

The problem appears to be the Tor network. The keyring does not perk up
when not connected to the Tor network.

This is still a problem because Tor network users have it connected
routinely. The software updater also checks in routinely. The keyring
problem will therefore occur routinely.

2013-06-27 Thread markling
Further info.

The keyring password request started appearing after I opened a Software
Centre account. It seems to appear when the Software Updater runs.

This might suggest - in relation to kwill's question - that the problem
is related to different passwords.

The Software Centre asks for a new username and password. The request is
for a low security setting: a software feeback forum on the web. It is
sensible to give it a password other than your primary/root password. It
is therefore most likely to be different to your keyring password.

This, by the way, is the only time the system ever makes mention of a
keyring password. The request for a keyring password is meaningless to
the user. The error is therefore twofold: a failure of the Update and
password manager - if, that is, they are indeed using a software forum
password for software updates; and a failure of the user
interface/experience - in that the request for a  keyring password is a
breakdown of usual user protocol.

[Bug 575877] Re: gnome-keyring mysteriously asks for keyring password on startup

2013-06-20 Thread markling
This problem has arisen periodically for years. It has just arisen again
on my computer. I've been running Xubuntu 13.04 since April. It just now
started to ask me for a keyring password.

It says (and apologies - I shall have to report the precise message at
next startup) - it says something like 'keyring password not set at
startup'.

The keyring password request occurs apparenlty randomly. And when it
comes it prevents user access to all other programs. Unless you shut
down the computer, you have to give it your system password.

I second Alroger: this is most offensive behaviour. I don't want to give
my password out to any popup - especially one that is random, erroneous
and unexplained. Every time it happens I feel like I'm being fleeced by
some phishing scam.

I suspect it may have something to do with the Ubuntu Software Centre.

The keyring problem started happening after I accessed the Software
Centre's user account recently. It asked for a keyring password. It came
up again when subsequently I opened the Software Centre just to download
some software. And now it has stuck around. The kering just pops up at
random in a session. It's been a few days, at a guess.

Public bug reported:

This is ubuntu-bug report and further info is meant to be added to another bug, 
but Launchpad could not find it by even a part of its title (odd name must have

(gedit:3366): IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of /home/oem/.config/ibus/bus is not

Issue occured for me in very specific circumstances: attempt to run two
sudo gedit commands running simultaneously. The second failed with the
error:  (gedit:3214): IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of
/home/username/.config/ibus/bus is not root!

It failed in the sense that gedit did not open.

It may have been significant that a related command was already running
in another terminal (xfce4-terminal 0.6.1) window: sudo iptables -L 
iptables_rules_.txt

This comand takes a while to chug through its output. So gedit, or
whatver, was already occupied.

While that was happening, I had issued another sudo gedit command in
another terminal window: sudo gedit /etc/firewall.bash

It was that comand reported the above-quoted error.

The failed sudo gedit command was resissued after the first had
finished. Gedit opened the (new) file this time. It appeared, in other
words, to have worked. It nevertheless repeated the error:
(gedit:3301): IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of

[Bug 406373] Re: rhythmbox crashed with SIGSEGV in rb_encoder_encode()

2013-05-21 Thread markling
I got something like this problem.

It gives me a kernel error. The problem occurs when I try to use
Rythmbox to copy tracks to my ipod.

i686 xubuntu 12.10 and 13.04 the same.

I filed as crash report.

It has been like this for many months. I had been waiting for upgrade in
the hope that this would correct the problem. It has not.

I have meanwhile been copying tracks for my ipod onto a usb and then
doing the transfer using Rhythmbox on another machine running Xubuntu
12.04 i386. The later Xubuntu version did not install on this machine
because the kernel dropped support for non-PAE CPUs. This may suggest a
kernal problem.

The following line appeared in kern.log when Rhythmbox crashed:

May 21 19:46:03 Bonzo kernel: [36390.947600] rhythmbox[5566]: segfault

This may be a different error to the one being dealt with here. Please
advise if so and I will file it as a separate report, if necessary.

2011-04-23 Thread markling
This fix should be high priority.

It can be hard to prove a negative.
The same goes for documents.
I.e. Professional people who use .pdf readers sometimes have a need to prove 
something does not exist in a document.
They can do this by searching for the thing they need to disprove.

But if the search does not work properly because it can't spot strings
that fall over lines, and they don't know that this fault exists, they
will end up making decisions based on faulty information given them by
the software.

[Bug 185928] Re: Pressing Space key should toggle play/pause (pause when playing; play when paused)

2011-02-11 Thread markling
I'd second the call for SPACE to activate play/pause in Rhythm Box. A
one-touch play/pause is essential.

Try this: playing your guitar, learning a song. You have to
play/pause. You can't be fiddling around with CTRL+SPACE or whatever
when you are trying to pin down a riff.

Or what happens if the phone rings when you are rocking out? Or you're
eating cornflakes in your best suit?

As for accessibility, having SPACE as play/pause is a darn sight more
accessible than having to fumble all over CTRL+SPACE or whatever.

Also regarding accessibility, if SPACE needs commandeering for
accessibility applications, surely it can so be without stopping SPACE
being used for play/pause when accessibility applications are not
active.

I have now got a faster machine with more memory. The problem does not

If, however, the issue has not been addressed in the code, I would

[Bug 698109] [NEW] Nautilus froze

2011-01-06 Thread markling
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

 This problem occured within a day of performing a clean install of
Ubuntu 10.10.

1) Ubuntu Release 10.10
2) Nautilus version: 1:2.32.0-0ubuntu1.1

3) What expected to happen:

I was just moving a few folders around. I expected this to proceed as
usual.

There were a few things going on simultaneously. Nautilus had three tabs
open. Gedit was open in my second workspace area. I was doing some file
copying In my fourth workspace: 20Gb of files were being copied from an
external HD using NTFS, over USB to my local ext4 HD. The process was
occasionally being interrupted with filenames that were too long.

4) Nautilus in the first workspace froze. A folder was selected in its
frozen state. I cannot deselect the folder nor select another folder.
Neither can I select another tab or the Nautilus menu or toolbars.

Please note, however, that Nautilus did not report an Error. It just
froze.

Please note also that my 20Gb copy in Workspace 4 was not interrupted.
It carried on just fine.

I have reported this as a separate bug as well as adding it as a comment
at this similar RESOLVED bug #428564. I did this so that my Apport
data could be filed.

I have experienced a similar problem with the latest release. This
problem occured within a day of performing a clean install of Ubuntu
10.10.

1) Ubuntu Release 10.10
2) Nautilus version: 1:2.32.0-0ubuntu1.1

3) What expected to happen:

I was just moving a few folders around. I expected this to proceed as

Should I report this as a separate bug?

[Bug 698109] Re: Nautilus froze

2011-01-06 Thread markling
I've narrowed this down to the nub.

The specific bug as can thus far be certain:

Nautilus freezes when separate File Operation interrupted with Error
caused by over-long filename.

To recap:

I have Nautilus running in Ubuntu Workspace 1.
I have a large File Operation running in Workspace 4.

When the File Operation in Workspace 4 is interrupted with an error such
as File name too long, my instance of Nautilus in Workspace 1 freezes.

When I clear the File Operation error in Workspace 4, Nautilus becomes
operative again in Workspace 1.

Perhaps it is normal behaviour for a File Operation error message to
prevent other actions. But I can use other programs while the FO Error
is waiting for my attention in Workspace 4. I can, for example, use
Firefox and Update Manager or run a terminal. I just can't use the
Nautilus window I already had open.

Note that I can open a new Nautilus window while the FO Error is waiting
my attention. But once the new Nautilus Window has opened I am unable to
use it. Neither can I close it.

If, however, I tell the File Operation Error dialogue in Workspace 4 to
[Skip], Nautilus starts working again in Workspace 1.

[Bug 670341] Re: Find keyboard shortcut does not deliver subsequent keypresses into Find dialogue box

2010-11-04 Thread markling
I'm sorry to see this has been given status Opinion. Will it actually
get discussed or merely ignored? I fear my report is too verbose.

The fact remains that keypresses made immediately after the invocation
of the Find function using the keyboard short are not captured. This is
a problem.

[Bug 670341] [NEW] Find keyboard shortcut does not deliver subsequent keypresses into Find dialogue box

2010-11-03 Thread markling
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gedit

When using the keyboard shortcut to Find text, it is usual to deploy
it on the fly. That is, seemlessly. There is unfortunately a seem in
Gedit's Find shortcut.

The process, while in the midst of working in the text editor, takes a
split second,  and it usually goes like this:

- Establish a need to find text
- Press the keyboard shortcut to Find
- Enter the text to be found
- Press return
- Find the text
- Continue working

Gedit, however, does not capture keypresses made immediately following
the invocation of the Find function with the keyboard shortcut. It
begins capturing keypresses and putting them in the Search field of
the Find dialogue only after the dialogue has opened.

Since the dialogue can take a while to open there is an unnatural pause
between the Find invocation and the dialogue's appearance. Any
keypresses that are made in this space are channelled into whatever
document is open in Gedit.

But it is normal to start typing the text to be found immediately after
the Find function has been invoked with the keyboard shortcut. It is not
only frustrating to have to wait for the dialogue to open, it is
unintuitive.

The result is that text intended for the Search field is forever being
entered the document because the Find function is taking too long to
catch up.

The resulting processes looks like this:

- Establish a need to find text
- Press the keyboard shortcut to Find
- Enter the text to be found
- See that the Find dialogue has opened slowly and the find text has not 
appeared in the Search field
- Press Esc to close the Find dialogue again
- Delete the text that has been put in the document instead of the Find dialogue
- Press the keyboard shortcut to Find again
- What patiently for the Find dialogue to open
- Enter the text to be found
- Press return
- Find the text
- Continue working

You might think that I should learn to wait. But I do find this is
happening time and again because I have an unshakable expectation that
keypresses made after the invocation of a function will go to that
function.

Or this may be because my machine is slow. This should not, however,
prevent my keypresses being captured at the right time and put in the
right place so that my use of the keyboard operates as it ought, which
is seemlessly.

Excellent text editor all the same.

[Bug 376073] Re: Pdf search doesn't find strings running over lines

2010-11-03 Thread markling
This should be high priority.

As it stands, the Ubuntu Document viewer cannot be trusted. The search
function does that work.

How many professions can you think of where it is crucial to know
whether a string occurs in a document or not?

Law, journalism, health, security, law enforcement.

Need I go on?

Can anyone trust to use the search in Ubuntu's document viewer? Of
course they can't they shall have to manually read a document before
they can establish whether the text they are looking for is there or
not.

Now consider an instance where one of these professionals has to
establish that a string DOES NOT appear in a document. These documents
can stretch to hundreds of pages. Are you going to sit down and search
through manually and trust your judgment when you need to establish the
absence of something as a matter of life and death, of national
security, of legal importance? Of course you're not. You are going to
get another piece of software to do it, aren't you?

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evince

E.g. in the following pdf:

http://www.ico.gov.uk/upload/documents/library/data_protection/detailed_specialist_guides/review_of_eu_dp_directive.pdf

On page 33, paragraph 6:

The string 13 years runs over the first and onto the second line of
this paragraph.

Searching for 13 years finds no results.

Searching for 13 will find the incidence of this string on this page.
