[Bug 198162] Re: GNOME Bug Report Tool missing arguments

2010-06-19 Thread shanen (Shannon Jacobs)
I couldn't remember this discussion after a couple of years, but I was
amused by the comment and depressed to see that after two (more) years
things have NOT turned around. I still want alternatives to Microsoft's
awful software, but the major change of the last few years is that
Microsoft has apparently lost their drive to be the evil empire and
Apple has taken over as the leading contender (though Google is showing
increasing signs of evil ambitions and capabilities).

Comment 1: I have basically given up on Ubuntu, though I am still using
OLD versions on two machines. I have experimented with later versions on
several machines, and Ubuntu has become less and less ready for prime
time. I managed to avoid ever buying a Vista machine, Apple has dropped
out of my consideration, but I increasingly doubt any acceptable
alternatives will appear before I am obliged to buy a Windows 7 box...
Right now Google's Chrome looks to be the best alternative, but I feel
like I've wasted a LOT of time with Ubuntu, and that casts a shadow on
all of the Linux alternatives. (My company uses RHEL, which I've never
managed to like. If it was actually offered as an option on a machine,
I'd probably take it over Windows--but so far it has not been
competitive in the real-world market.)

Comment 2: I think the REAL problem is Ubuntu's financial model doesn't
provide sufficient push for regression testing against the pushes for
the development of new features. The most serious problems I've
encountered over the years are almost always breakage in old features.
The problems with new features are annoying, but rarely show stoppers.
Ergo, I suggest Ubuntu might be salvaged with an alternative funding
model that supported MUCH more testing, especially boring old regression
testing. Perhaps something like this:

http://eco-epistemology.blogspot.com/2009/11/economics-of-small-donors-
reverse.html

In applying the model to Ubuntu's situation, I think that the project
models should have substantial allocations for testing in their budgets
--but the virtual shareholders would also become the highest-priority
candidates to become testers. In other words, if you bought a share in a
particular project, you could also volunteer as a tester at that time,
and record your configuration. At that point it would be a bit of a
lottery, but essentially the Ubuntu people would be picking testers to
maximize coverage, and the winners would be paid for their testing work.
The value paid for testing would probably be more than the cost of
shares, so the winners would be happy and it would be yet another
motivation to support a development project. I think the main advantage
is that the projects would be buying testing from normal users--but
perhaps that's because I think that the earliest users of most programs
tend to be on the strange side or stranger. (The main risk might
actually be a kind of gambling by people who think they have especially
useful configurations for testing...)

I still want more options, and I wouldn't mind a bit if the Ubuntu
people could turn things around--but I'm not worrying about it at this
point, and I even resent the loss of capabilities and increasing
bugginess of newer versions...

[Bug 197537] Re: [MASTER] Can't read PDF file with CJK (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) text

2010-01-30 Thread shanen (Shannon Jacobs)
I wanted to check the status of this ancient bug, but on this particular
machine I only have a VMware Player with Ubuntu as a guest OS. It runs,
but I am unable to get the Japanese support to work properly for
Japanese input now that I have upgraded it to the newest version of
Ubuntu. I can confirm that some of the Japanese display is definitely
broken now, but I can't check the status for the PDF files specifically.
It will not allow me to switch to Japanese input mode, which is
necessary to find the PDF files for testing.

Perhaps some parts of the problem would be fixed by installing the XPDF
package on this machine, but my main conclusion is that I should not
have to do such things, and I am agreed with the comments that Ubuntu
seems to be going backwards. However, for me, the new problems with the
sound are much more significant, and completely a show stopper in terms
of recommending Ubuntu to anyone at this time. I'll go check the status
of that bug report, but I know that the sound problems are unresolved on
several machines that I have tested.

I want to close on a constructive note, but the only thing I can think
of is to suggest that Ubuntu needs to consider a better financial model.
I suggest something like what I describe in the blog entry at the URL
below this paragraph. The goal is to align Ubuntu's new features with
what the users want and need. In this case, they should be getting
funding for fixing this specific bug, but in the more general case, they
need to include feature-related funding for proper regression testing to
avoid such massive failures as completely breaking the sound system... I
have been using Ubuntu for several years now, and I mostly like it, but
it is getting more broken with each new release. This is bad.

http://eco-epistemology.blogspot.com/2009/11/economics-of-small-donors-
reverse.html

Ubuntu people: Are you listening? Ubuntu is NOW on the road to failure.
Can you turn things around?

[Bug 478134] Re: Totem silent in VMware Player after Koala upgrade

2009-11-29 Thread shanen (Shannon Jacobs)
Sorry I'm slow getting back to you on this. I sort of hoped it was just
the usual glitches (even though they're supposed to be ready to release
the software when they release it)... However, it appears the sound-
related problems are much more serious than I understood at the time,
and much more widespread.

With regards to your specific question, I can respond that all of the
sound-related applications are apparently unable to work with the sound
card. Probably as a result of one of the recent upgrades, it has started
emitting a few clicks from time to time, but there is no sound on a
machine that worked fine until the Koala upgrade. I wasn't using any of
the other sound applications on that machine, so it took me a while to
figure out what to test and how.

Since then I've tried the live Koala CD and a Koala upgrade on a
different machine. In both cases the sound is not working. These were
NOT using VMware, but actual hardware. The first machine with the VMware
Player is a Lenovo X61, and the other machine is a Sharp laptop. The
Sharp has always had a number of minor peculiarities, but has basically
worked well enough under earlier releases of Ubuntu, and there has never
been any problem with the sound card (on either machine, as far as I can
recall).

At this point my feelings towards Ubuntu are declining pretty steeply. I
don't have a lot of spare time that I want to spend trying to debug
problems with the OS... I regard Microsoft or Apple as clutching evils,
but I don't feel like Ubuntu is offering much of an option these days. I
guess I'll continue struggling with Ubuntu for a while, but I sure can't
recommend it based on my experiences with the last few releases... I
think I had some trouble with my first one, too, but that was a long
time ago and I figured it was just the normal learning curve, but these
kinds of crippling problems are just not going to work...

*sigh* I want to close on a constructive note, so I'll include a link to
the following alternative mechanism for funding the production of better
open source software, but I'm feeling pretty discouraged about all of
this stuff right now. I really hate using Microsoft garbage.

[Bug 478134] [NEW] Totem silent in VMware Player after Koala upgrade

2009-11-07 Thread shanen (Shannon Jacobs)
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: totem

My main audio use of Ubuntu was for streaming MP3 audio, and it's been
working fine (for perhaps a year or two on this machine) until the Koala
upgrade. It seems to be attempting to do something, but there's no sound
and I can't find any way to get sound out of it (so far). I can say that
removing pulseaudio did not work in my case. (Sorry, not sure where that
workaround was recommended, but I'm pretty sure I've completely undone
it, including the reinstall of ubuntu-desktop.)

With poppler-data installed it shows garbage characters all over the

[Bug 198162] Re: GNOME Bug Report Tool missing arguments

2008-05-14 Thread shanen (Shannon Jacobs)
Sorry, I don't live in America and I don't know who Jerry Springer is. I
hope it's a comedy show, but I'm not even interested enough to run it
through Wikipedia. Anyway, I admit that I am too easily annoyed
sometimes.

Back on the bug itself, I was interested enough to investigate the fix
reported earlier in this thread, and I can report that it works, though
the description was incomplete. I did it from the Main Menu preferences,
where a right click on the Bug Report Tool allows you to access the
properties and replace the existing bug-buddy with the recommended
command:

firefox https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug

However, the new command bug-buddy caught my interest. Looks like an
interesting idea--but a command to report bugs should not in itself be
buggy. Based on the error message, it apparently requires at least a
package-name, but according to bug-buddy -? there are no required
parameters.

sarcasmGee, do you think I should open a bug on bug-buddy?/sarcasm

2008-05-13 Thread shanen (Shannon Jacobs)
You make it sound like having thousands of bug reports is a bad thing.
Unless you have extremely bug-report-diligent users or extremely bug-
filled software, it implies you have tens or even hundreds of thousands
of users--which ought to be a good thing. If you can't make plans to
deal with and effectively manage your own success, then you're going to
fail. That bothers me. Nothing personal. I don't know you from Adam. I
just hate Microsoft because I love freedom--which mostly means the
freedom to make meaningful and informed choices. I thought Ubuntu was a
great idea when I started using it a couple of years ago, but it now
seems to me that y'all are losing control of the situation, that each
release is more troublesome than the last one, and that you are going to
crash and burn--and give Linux a large black eye in the process.

On this particular bug, I should note that it only appears to a problem
for a clean install. On a machine with an upgrade installation of 8.04
it seems to be undamaged.

Meanwhile, I have found a couple of additional problems that I should
either add to existing bugs or report as new bugs. Or maybe I should
offer a constructive suggestion somewhere? (The default non-BitTorrent
downloads still annoys me greatly.) Maybe I could get all motivated to
help out, or at least write impassioned appeals for support. Sorry, but
based on this discussion, for some reason I don't feel like making the
effort on your behalf.

2008-05-11 Thread shanen (Shannon Jacobs)
I've been using this feature for a long time and found it very helpful--
on the theory that the Ubuntu people actually wanted to improve the
software by making it easy to report bugs. Now I see that this new
problem was discovered, reported, and marked to be ignored two months
ago.

Excuse me, but making it easy for regular users to help you improve the
software ought to be more than low importance.

I was actually going to report a couple of very serious bugs that I can
now confirm have *NOT* been fixed in Hardy. After bouncing into this bug
and then struggling into Launchpad, it seems like a waste of time now,
and I'm planning to blow it off, except to note:

These three bugs affect at least one model of Sharp computer, but since
it's one of their standard Mebius models it probably affects many
others. The most annoying old and still unfixed bug is in the network
initialization. The most serious and dangerous bug is the white screen
of death, which I just encountered for the first time under Hardy. (It
does seem that Hardy may have lost less system information in the crash.
Either that, or the new crash recovery with the scandisk works better.)
The third bug is a fairly serious non-standard configuration of the HDD
that impacts gparted. I do have a workaround for this one, so I should
try to find that open bug report...

[Bug 198162] Re: GNOME Bug Report Tool missing arguments

2008-05-11 Thread shanen (Shannon Jacobs)
And your [Sebastien Bacher's] comment was constructive in exactly what
fashion?

Since you apparently think this is some sort of debate, I'll deal with
it on that basis--but be advised that I do *NOT* regard your approach as
constructive and is an excellent example of why I have basically stopped
recommending Ubuntu.

My primary point is best stated as: If we assume that Ubuntu is speaking
the truth about wanting to reach more users, then Ubuntu should be as
open as possible to bug reports from every channel--and *ESPECIALLY*
from unsophisticated users.

You apparently think that users are *REALLY* stupid. They are not likely
to look at the Main Menu control in the Preferences. They are not going
to poke around and notice Bug Report Tool and think that it might be
useful and therefore be smart enough to click in that little box--when
in fact right now that option is not useful--it is nothing but a bug.
Trying to use the Bug Report Tool does *NOTHING* except pop up an
error window. This is *NOT* a low importance bug to people who encounter
it. This is evidence that Ubuntu is going backwards from wanting to
reach more users.

Gee, I could always submit the patch. That would serve you right. I
actually used to make my living as a professional programmer.
Unfortunately, I was one of the second stringers of the erratic type. I
wrote some witty, perhaps even brilliant code--and some really ugly
bugs. In my later projects I was mostly working as a maintenance
programmer digging out other people's ugly bugs. During those years I
worked with and for some truly first-rate programmers, people who could
stream out reams of brilliant code without bugs--but I eventually
realized that I'd never reach that level and I moved up and over to a
supporting channel. I still work with brilliant programmers, including
some people working on open source projects, but I mostly stay out of
their way when it comes to doing their programming work. My employer's
parent (grandparent?) company is actually regarded as one of the largest
supporters of open source software--but with no involvement in Ubuntu. I
sometimes discuss Ubuntu with some of those people--but I am unable to
recommend that we increase our involvement with Ubuntu.

'This bug is not enabled by default' is right up there with the worst
excuses I have ever heard, and I've heard lots.

After opening a PDF file full of Japanese text, all of the Japanese is

My system is fully enabled for Japanese and seems to handle it for all

I basically have the same comment and problem, most recently related to

Look, I want Ubuntu to succeed, but this is increasingly annoying... I'm
beginning to doubt the entire OSS approach. It's only Microsoft's
laziness and incompetence that's creating the window for Linux... A
couple of versions ago I felt I was able to recommend Ubuntu to non-

disappointment. *LOTS* of new problems, and I can only think of one
significant functional improvement--and now the patches are making

2006-07-20 Thread shanen \(Shannon Jacobs\)
Public bug reported:

Since upgrading to the Dapper Drake, the random screen saver feature has
always been locked on one specific screensaver, the one called Xylap.

(Actually, I'd rather remove all of the screen savers and just use a
power saver, but I haven't gotten to that level yet... It seems that the
screen savers are bundled with the desktop, and I've already destroyed
one machine by tampering with that. (I managed to mostly fix it, but
that was quite a learning experience and a half.))

** Affects: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu)
 Importance: Untriaged
 Status: Unconfirmed

[Bug 29760] Re: Sound does not work properly in Flash in firefox

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 34051 ***

I also confirm that Daniel Carrera's three line solution worked for me.
As a neophyte to Ubuntu, I have to express appreciation for such
guruness. (Now if I could just stop it from frequently engaging Japanese
input mode (via Anthy) when I'm typing...)
