I wonder if I am missing something obvious here ?.

Can anyone tell me WHY my two example hyperlinks behave differently, as
they both look identical but just expressed differently.

So the hyperlink that works (expressed using ESCAPE codes) -
http://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/e11021.m45.l1123/7?euid=5352848142992251064loc=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.co.uk%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D150472423977%26ssPageName%3DADME%3AB%3ASS%3AGB%3A1123

And the hyperlink that fails (expressed using ASCII characters) -
http://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/e11021.m45.l1123/7?euid=5352848142992251064loc=http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=150472423977ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123

But if you manually translate all the ESCAPE characters from the first
example, then you end up with the second example !

Bug #149964 is some issue with embedded  (ampersand) characters, I
don't believe my issue has anything to do with that, in fact I have
always found URL's with embedded  characters work as intended.

The bug I am reporting looks to be a problem with how the % (percent)
character is handled.

It may be the case that the problematic function happens to be the same
- although with different symptoms.

Do you think that by making this new issue a duplicate of the old bug
#149964, which currently has a status of Fix Released nearly three
years ago and the majority of respondents saying the problem is solved,
then surely my issue is not going to be resolved ?

2010-08-07 Thread Andy Mallett
A very unhelpful update from eBay customer support -


I have noticed that you're currently using a Linux as your operating system.
As of now, the recommended operating system that can
support eBay functions are Microsoft Windows and Macintosh. This is the
reason why some hyperlinks can't be processed by your email client 
because when using a different operating system like Linux, other eBay
functions may not be supported. I suggest that you use the supported
operating systems when using eBay to ensure proper functionality of the site. 


For me, changing to Windows is NEVER going to happen, I just need
Evolution fixed as it is obvious that eBay are not going to be any help
!

[Bug 611983] [NEW] Evolution [Open Link In Browser] not working for new eBay email hyperlinks

2010-07-31 Thread Andy Mallett
Public bug reported:

I am running the following - Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 + Firefox 3.6.8 +
Evolution 2.28.3

On the 26th July 2010, eBay (in their wisdom !) changed the structure of
their notification emails, unfortunately since this change I have been
unable (in Evolution mail) to click on the hyperlinks back to the eBay
website without the resulting eBay web page showing a variety of errors.

Before this issue arose, the eBay email hyperlinks had the structure such as -

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=290457755810ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123
and Evolution still opens these links correctly.

After the eBay change the links look like -

http://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/e11021.m45.l1123/7?euid=5352848142992251064loc=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.co.uk%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D150472423977%26ssPageName%3DADME%3AB%3ASS%3AGB%3A1123

-now if within Evolution I hover over the hyperlink and select [Copy
Link Location], then paste the result in Firefox, then I get the result
I would expect.

HOWEVER if in the same link I try to either [Open Link In Browser], or
simply double clicking the mouse to open the link into Firefox, then the
URL that Firefox receives looks like -

http://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/e11021.m45.l1123/7?euid=5352848142992251064loc=http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=150472423977ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123

- which turns out to be invalid !


What can I do to get Evolution to send the correct form of the URL to Firefox ? 
- or is this an Evolution bug.


There has been a short discussion on the possible cause of this problem here -
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+question/119395

and the proposed solution from that link says -

I see your problem now. Seems that evolution is decoding the escape codes (%3A, 
%2F, etc) that are present in the original URL, but the application on eBay 
needs those escape codes intact.

Maybe it is an Evolution bug, as it should not alter the URL while
sending it to Firefox.

I checked the evolution source code:

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/evolution/evolution_2.28.3.orig.tar.gz

Inside e-util/e-util.c file, there is a function e_show_uri(). Before it
passes the URL to Firefox, it removes the escape codes by calling
camel_url_decode():

  http://library.gnome.org/devel/camel/stable/camel-camel-url.html
#camel-url-decode

So I think you really should open an evolution bug and see if anyone can come 
with an explanation for this behavior.

[Bug 360460] Re: Alternate install fails requesting same disc

2010-04-14 Thread Andy Mallett
Despite the fact that this problem appears to be related to Sony/NEC/Optiarc 
drives, this is unlikely to be a hardware bug (as jrippy suggested), 
because the Ubuntu Alternate install always used to work with these same 
optical drives, UNTIL something changed between 8.04(Hardy) and 8.10(Intrepid) 
- as I documented in duplicate bug #351053.
You can prove it by installing alternate 8.04 (or any previous version) and it 
works fine.  I ended up installing 8.04 then did repeated upgrades to keep up 
with the current release !

[Bug 351053] Re: Alternate install hangs requesting jaunty CD

2009-04-09 Thread Andy Mallett
I am having similar difficulties with Jaunty 9.04 beta alternate i386 CD
install.

I can successfully go through all the following installation stages -
 Selected language
 Selected keyboard layout
 Detecting hardware
 Loaded additional components
 Configured network
 Partitioned disks

BUT during the phase -
 Installing the base system
it gets as far as -
76%  Gathering information for installation report...

Then a window pops up showing the following -

---
   [!!] Install the base system

Please insert the disc labeled: 'Ubuntu 9.04 _Jaunty Jackalope_ -
Beta i386 (20090324)' in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter.

Media change
Go Back   Continue
---

At this point I can toggle between Go Back and Continue, but neither
option can be selected.  In addition the eject button on the CD drive
has become disabled, so I was unable to eject and reinsert the disc
(to see if the installation would continue !).


I have repeated the above process several times, each time with more simple
configurations, but each time the same result occurs.

I have checked the MD5SUM of the .iso before burning the disk.

I ran the Check disc for defects from Installer boot menu and got -
  The CD-ROM integrity test was successful. The CD-ROM is valid

I ran the Test memory and found no errors after 3 full passes.


My hardware is as follows -

Motherboard = Via EPIA 5000 C3 Samuel2 PLE133 533MHz, BIOS 2.07
Memory = 2 * 512MB PC133
HDD = WDC WD800BB 80GB PATA
CD drive = NEC DVD-RW ND-4551A

Before attempting a clean install of Ubuntu 9.04 Beta (Jaunty), this
hardware had been running fully updated Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid) without
any problems.  The CD drive is also known to work as it had been used in
the past few days to install previous versions of Ubuntu, including
alternate versions 7.04 and 8.04.

2009-04-09 Thread Andy Mallett
After further investigation, and attempting to get my system working
again, I have discovered the following -

The bug I described above, occurs exactly the same in the final release
of Ubuntu alternate version 8.10 (Intrepid), just with the relevant
words for that version -

So during the phase -
 Installing the base system
it gets as far as -
78% Gathering information for installation report...

Then a window pops up showing the following -

---

Please insert the disc labeled: 'Ubuntu 8.10 _Intrepid Ibex_ -
Release i386 (20081028)' in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter.

Media change
Go Back  Continue
---


HOWEVER going back one more  version to -
Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS alternate i386 CD install
I can install on to the same hardware without the above fault that occurs on 
8.10 (Intrepid) and 9.04 beta (Jaunty).

[Bug 351053] Re: Alternate install hangs requesting jaunty CD

2009-04-09 Thread Andy Mallett
With the aim of getting my hardware running with Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty
Jackalope) beta, and having failed with the clean install from the i386
alternate CD, I followed the process below, which lead to an error
message which MIGHT be related to the Jaunty alternate CD install error
described above.

So here goes -

I first did a clean install of Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS using the i386
alternate CD. - no problems.

Rebooted - no problems.

Immediately ran update-manager -d to force a distribution upgrade from
the internet.

Followed on screen prompts and upgraded to 8.10 - without any problems.

Rebooted - no problems.

Decided to insert the problematic Jaunty beta alternate CD (used above),
and see what happens.

Followed the prompts and started a distribution upgrade from CD and
selecting NOT to get updates from internet (to test what was supplied on
the problematic CD - as any internet updates may have otherwise masked
possible issues with the CD).

This seemed to go well for a long while, but eventually a window
appeared saying -


Could not install 
'/media/cdrom0//pool/main/e/evolution/evolution-documentation-en_2.26.0-0ubuntu2_all.deb'

The upgrade will continue but the '/media/cdrom0//pool/main/e/evolution
/evolution-documentation-en_2.26.0-0ubuntu2_all.deb' package may be in a
not working state. Please consider submitting a bug report about it.

subprocess dpkg-split returned error exit status 2


Having closed this error message, the upgrade has continued for at least an 
hour so far, without further problems (yet !).
Only another 1 hour and 27 minutes to go !!! - yes it takes a long time on a 
533MHz CPU optimised for low power consumption !
