[Bug 296867]

2014-04-28 Thread Chris Kerr
I'm fed up of people complaining about developers. It's *free software*,
and if you get anything more than you paid for then you should be
grateful (I certainly am).

This is doubly so considering all the criticism that has gone the way of
the OpenSSL people in the wake of Heartbleed. When someone gives their
best effort to produce software as a gift to the community, often
working in spare evenings with lots of other distractions which prevent
them giving their full focus to the task, they get next to no praise
when it works and a whole heap of criticism when they make a tiny
mistake. People even accuse them of deliberately inserting the mistake
as a government spy.

I'm currently writing up my PhD thesis. When I finish, I will have some
free time while waiting for my viva voce, and would be willing to spend
some of that time trying to fix this, as it is something I would find
useful myself and potentially also a helpful addition to my CV. However
there are probably plenty of people out there who would do a better job
than I, especially since I have mainly used Fortran and Python for the
last 4 years so my C/C++ is rather rusty.

[Bug 296867] Re: empathy needs to support OTR encryption

2014-04-28 Thread Chris Kerr
I'm not complaining about people who spend time auditing security
software and finding these bugs making their discoveries known - even if
they are less than polite while doing so. (I myself am taking maximum
advantage of the opportunity to poke fun at ridiculous or borderline
fraudulent statements I've spotted during my literature review - it's
one of the few redeeming features of writing a PhD thesis.) They are
just as crucial as and even less appreciated than the developers.
Certainly if I get round to writing this code it will need their
attention.

What I don't like are people who do nothing except repeat something we
already know (This software doesn't do X. People want it to do X.) but
louder and more rudely.

[Bug 1050404] Re: Causes several facilties of Eclipse to fail: Java class launch, Error Log.

2012-12-04 Thread Chris Kerr
For me, Eclipse hangs (100% CPU) on startup at about 60% through the
splash screen progress bar (status: 'Loading Workbench'). This still
happens if I purge and reinstall eclipse and delete my ~/.eclipse
directory

[Bug 788012] [NEW] Hang on suspend when kate is running

2011-05-25 Thread Chris Kerr
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.35-27-generic

Normally, I can suspend/resume with no problems (other than known issues with 
kontact / kio_imap4) no matter which kernel I am using. However, recently I 
have noticed that whenever I have kate (kde advanced text editor) open, my 
computer hangs (black screen, completely unresponsive) just before I would 
expect it to go fully into sleep mode. After a while the fan starts blowing hot 
air at maximum speed so I assume the processor has gone into an infinite loop.
I tested some of the past kernel versions I have in my /boot partition and 
found that it works for versions before 2.6.35-24

In summary:
2.6.35-22-generic : suspend always OK
2.6.35-24-generic : suspend always OK
2.6.35-27-generic : Hangs when running kate, otherwise OK
2.6.35-28-generic : Hangs when running kate, otherwise OK

Steps to reproduce: 
Reboot into kernel version 2.6.35-2[78]-generic
run kate (N.B. the hang still happens even if there are no files open in kate)
close laptop lid or select 'sleep' from K menu
