[Bug 912589] Re: pytz should be dropped for dateutil as soon as epsilon is dropped for dateutil

2012-02-04 Thread David-Sarah Hopwood
Thanks for these changes, they will simplify dependency issues for the
S3 backend of Tahoe-LAFS. dateutil is a good choice -- simple and well-
tested. (It's unfortunate that its Python 3 variant is a higher version
number for the same package rather than a different package, but that
can be worked around.)

[Bug 418242] Re: Incorrect call to output plugins (with persistent error message) on copy

2011-11-14 Thread David-Sarah Hopwood
I'm not using xfce or any of the download or clipboard managers
mentioned, but I see the same traceback as comment #21 when copying.
This is with a file created by Inkscape on Windows, with text objects
using fonts that are not available on Ubuntu -- similar to the original
report in the bug description.

Are we sure there is not more than one bug here with similar symptoms?

'tahoe debug trial' is indeed the correct way to run the tests for the 
installed version. 
The following failure:

twisted.trial.unittest.FailTest: We seem to be testing the code at 
'/usr/lib/pymodules',
(according to the source filename 
'/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/allmydata/__init__.pyc'),
but expected to be testing the code at '/home/eutopia'.
Please run the tests from the root of the Tahoe-LAFS distribution.

Is it considered acceptable that doing anything involving package
management can fail due to bad luck? Perhaps the dist-upgrade should be
holding the lock for a much shorter time, and/or perhaps the error
message could say what the actual problem is (for example by identifying
the process holding the lock).

The test suite can be run using 'python setup.py trial'. Thanks for the

2011-09-19 Thread David-Sarah Hopwood
I often have to type my letters twice as the characters are not being
registered. Typing slowly makes the process a bit manageable.

That doesn't really sound like the same bug. The other reports here are
of the keyboard becoming completely unresponsive. (I've had that symptom
since my last report above, although I forgot to check the interrupts.)

[Bug 830404] [NEW] Proposed removal of GNOME Classic desktop would be a serious usability and accessibility regression

2011-08-21 Thread David-Sarah Hopwood
Public bug reported:

In
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/739812/comments/5 ,
Mark Shuttleworth said,

... we have the Classic desktop fallback in Natty, but will not in
Oneiric.

This is worrying. Any attempt to remove support for the Classic desktop
is likely to cause serious problems for many Ubuntu users, either
because Unity doesn't work on their hardware for some reason, or because
they just don't like it -- and it's abundantly clear that many people
don't like it.

For the purpose of this bug, it doesn't really matter why people don't
like Unity or why it breaks for them. (In my case, it's because I have a
4480x1440 total display area, for which many of the tablet-oriented
design decisions in Unity make absolutely no sense.)

It could be argued that that anyone who doesn't want Unity can stay with
Maverick or Natty. However, since those aren't LTS releases, they are
only supported until April 2012 and October 2012 respectively (including
for security fixes). So that's not really an acceptable alternative to
continuing to provide the Classic desktop until at least the next LTS
release. In my case, I switched from Windows having no idea that Ubuntu
would make such drastic changes to the interface in the very next
release. (If I'd known that, I might have installed Lucid instead. But
downgrading from Maverick to Lucid to get the LTS support doesn't make
sense; that would just cause stuff to break.)

It is possible to switch to KDE or some other alternative to Unity, of
course (although making that switch from a GNOME/Metacity-based install
is not without problems). Other environment/window manager combinations
are usually selected using the same login screen menu that is used to
select Classic vs Unity. Assuming that menu is still there in Oneiric
(it will be, right?), and assuming that all the classic desktop packages
are still available in the Oneiric apt repositories (they will be,
right?), I wonder what simplification is really available from removing
Classic as one of the environment/window manager options. If no
simplification is available, then there is no justification for removing
the option.

So, we need some clarity:
 * what does we will not [have the Classic desktop fallback] in Oneiric mean 
precisely? Does it just mean not installing packages needed for the Classic 
desktop *by default* on new installs (but keeping them in the repositories and 
in a working state, and not messing about with them on existing installs), or 
does it mean more than that?
 * will anything that might be necessary for a particular setup currently using 
the Classic desktop to work, be uninstalled or disabled on an upgrade to 
Oneiric? (such as disabling the proprietary NVidia drivers as in bug 772019, 
for example)
 * if a user has explicitly changed the default environment back to Classic 
desktop in Natty, will installing Oneiric override that preference, and if so 
will changing it back again cause regressions like there were with the 
Maverick-Natty upgrade? (bug 734373 and bug 735861, for example)
 * for those users who do use Unity, will critical usability and accessibility 
regressions such as bug 654988, bug 739812, and (not specific to Unity) bug 
762806, block the Oneiric release?

[Bug 134944] Re: Keyboard locks up randomly while typing

2011-08-18 Thread David-Sarah Hopwood
I also have keyboard lockups on Ubuntu Maverick with KDE 4.5.5 (kubuntu-
desktop packages on top of a Gnome install). Ctrl-Alt-F1 does *not* work
when the keyboard is locked up, in my case. This is the laptop keyboard,
not a USB keyboard, on a Dell Pavilion dv8 ea1110. (Not quite the same
system as the original poster, but close.)

A workaround is to software-suspend and resume -- presumably hibernate
would also work -- and then the keyboard responds again. I can't
remember whether Caps Lock works (I have Caps Lock swapped with Esc, so
that might be misleading anyway).

I've bound 'konsole -e watch cat /proc/interrupts' to a panel icon, so
the next time it happens I should be able to see whether I'm getting
keyboard interrupts. Currently I can see one of the fields incrementing
by two for each keypress, so I know which field to look at.

Also using binary NVidia drivers at the moment, but I don't have any
reason to believe it's related to that. When I was using the nv drivers
this problem would still happen occasionally.

[Bug 134944] Re: Keyboard locks up randomly while typing

2011-08-18 Thread David-Sarah Hopwood
Oh, another symptom is that *sometimes* when this happens, the system
behaves as though the shift key were held down (e.g. left mouse clicks
cause a selection rather than a click). However I'm pretty sure that
none of the modifier keys are physically stuck down; if that were the
problem, I wouldn't expect suspend/resume to unlock the keyboard.

[Bug 811721] Re: update pycryptopp to version 0.5.29-1 in natty

2011-07-21 Thread David-Sarah Hopwood
What Zooko said. (I reviewed the changes to pycryptopp and they all look
harmless or low-risk.)

Bear in mind that debian/control in Tahoe-LAFS also needs to be changed
to depend on python-pycryptopp (= 0.5.20) here:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~jtaylor/ubuntu/oneiric/tahoe-
lafs/fix-769935/view/head:/debian/control#L16 . Otherwise, if we are on
an x86[-64] machine and the installed pycryptopp package declares its
version as = 0.5.14 but  0.5.20, it won't be upgraded (if I understand
the behaviour of .deb-based package managers correctly) and so the
dependency in Tahoe's _auto_deps.py won't be met.

For future reference, it would be better if any Ubuntu- or Debian-
patched version of pycryptopp (or any other Tahoe dependency) would
declare its version in a way that allows us to recognize and accept it
in the setuptools dependency language. For example, if the patched
pycryptopp had declared itself as as 0.5.17.post1, then we could have
written the Tahoe dependency as pycryptopp == 0.5.17.post1, = 0.5.20,
and everything would have gone much more smoothly. The version numbers
should follow http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0396/ . This would
probably be a good policy for Python packages in general.

[Bug 782461] Re: too high version dependency on pycryptopp

2011-07-20 Thread David-Sarah Hopwood
If I understand correctly, the fact that pycryptopp 0.5.29-1 has been
uploaded means that the change in
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~jtaylor/ubuntu/oneiric/tahoe-lafs/tahoe-
lafs-fix/revision/9 is no longer required or desired.

[Bug 743761] Re: Gnome reverts partially to default theme and fonts; gnome-session[...]: GLib-GObject-CRITICAL: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed in syslog

2011-06-20 Thread David-Sarah Hopwood
I haven't been able to reproduce this bug (although I'm sure it was
valid).

I frankly don't understand why there are debugging assertions in the
Gnome code that don't log a stacktrace automatically (logging it at the
point of the assertion would give more information than nothing, even if
that's not the point in the code that is responsible for the bug). It's
not surprising that asynchronous bugs don't get fixed while this is the
case.

  Hi folks-
  
The context of this email is here:
  
  https://code.launchpad.net/~jtaylor/ubuntu/oneiric/tahoe-lafs/tahoe-lafs-fix/+merge/63631
  
  
Some of the autodeps sort of stuff I purposefully patch out specifically
  because I make that sort of stuff static in the packaging metadata, and the
  setup usually ends up complicating things (and going out to the internet,
  which the Ubuntu buildds explicitly aren't allowed to do).
  
I'm curious about stepping back on pycryptopp.  I'm curious why we can't
  just update the pycryptopp instead of downgrading the pycryptopp library.
There is a good reason why Tahoe depends on at least pycryptopp 0.5.20
(on x86 and x86-64). It's documented in src/allmydata/_auto_deps.py:

# pycryptopp v0.5.20 fixes bugs in SHA-256 and AES on x86 or amd64
# (from Crypto++ revisions 470, 471, 480, 492).

Now, in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tahoe-lafs/+bug/782461/comments/4
Zooko said:
# ... since Ubuntu's distribution of pycryptopp uses the system (Ubuntu
# distribution of) Crypto++ then it is not vulnerable to that issue.

But hang on, how do we know that Tahoe will use the Ubuntu distribution
of pycryptopp? It will use the pycryptopp that is first on the sys.path
in the Tahoe process. The sys.path depends in an impossibly difficult-
to-predict way on the history of installations of Python packages (by
setuptools, other Python-specific installers, and OS package managers),
including Python packages that might seem completely unrelated. When Tahoe
starts, it will sanity-check that the version of the pycryptopp it imported
is = 0.5.20. However, there is no direct check on which version of Crypto++
the imported pycryptopp is using.

I don't see what the difficulty is in upgrading the Ubuntu pycryptopp
package to 0.5.20. That is the simplest way for Tahoe to be as sure as
it can be (against accidental misconfigurations) that it is getting a
pycryptopp that will use a Crypto++ that fixes these SHA-256 and AES bugs.

[Bug 782414] Re: tahoe-lafs can't start because foolscap packaging metadata doesn't declare the fact that it supports secure_connections

2011-05-14 Thread David-Sarah Hopwood
OK, the foolscap packaging error is fixed in the package for foolscap
0.6.1-2. But the Tahoe-LAFS package doesn't require foolscap 0.6.1-2,
does it? So a user of Tahoe-LAFS can still hit the error if that package
dependency isn't updated, IIUC.

2011-04-18 Thread David-Sarah Hopwood
Well, can you suggest a way to get a stacktrace at the point where the
assertion fails? Since it does not crash, apport won't work. However I
can add debugging code to gnome-session if necessary.

(BTW, the Firefox hang was probably a red herring. It has happened since
without any interaction with FF. That instance of gnome-session is not
still running, but the bug happens once every few days or weeks.)

2011-04-17 Thread David-Sarah Hopwood
As I clearly said in the report, there is no possibility of getting a
crash trace. I know this message is automated, but closing bugs as
invalid without reading them is impolite and discourages feedback. I
will think twice about bothering to file bugs against Gnome in future
:-(

(And yes, asynchronous bugs are challenging to deal with. Auto-closing
them doesn't help with that.)

[Bug 743761] [NEW] Gnome reverts partially to default theme and fonts; gnome-session[...]: GLib-GObject-CRITICAL: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed in syslog

2011-03-27 Thread David-Sarah Hopwood
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-session

The icons, fonts, and some (but not all) window styling in Gnome
suddenly reverted to the default theme. At the same time, an instance of
Firefox crashed, although I don't know whether the Firefox crash caused
the Gnome problem or vice-versa.

This line in /var/log/syslog appeared to be logged also at the same
time:

Mar 27 18:05:46 shiny gnome-session[1470]: GLib-GObject-CRITICAL:
g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

Opening the System | Preferences | Appearance applet caused the
configured theme to be restored. (The theme uses Crux controls and
TangoDance borders, with some custom edits to .gtkrc-2.0 and the
TangoDance metacity-theme-1.xml file, but I'm not sure that's relevant.)

These symptoms are similar to
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1575703 , but I don't have the
segfault in gnome-settings described there, so the cause may be
different.

Because this only happened once and gnome-session did not actually
crash, I can't get a stacktrace from the time of the crash. If there's
any other information I should collect, please say. The instance of
gnome-session is still running.

Ubuntu version: 10.10.
gnome-session version: 2.32.0-0ubuntu1

[Bug 577916] Re: lucid regression: does not resume from hibernation

2011-03-24 Thread David-Sarah Hopwood
The VirtualBox-related bug is on the VirtualBox tracker as
http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/7716 . I suggest not considering that
issue to be part of this one, since it has different symptoms, and seems
quite deterministic unlike this one. It almost certainly doesn't have
anything to do with having two swap partitions (I have that bug with
only one swap partition).

Oh, I was confused. That just changed zfec not to bundle pyutil; it
still depends on it.
