Regrettably, bug has returned!

Now stuck (even after re-trying yesterdays fix) with Panel notification
showing Ethernet connection (instead of wireless signal strength), and
Desktop notification showing Disconnected, even though connection is
active. :(

Found the issue is still present after clean 16.04 LTS installation if
option to install updates during installation is used.

After changing network driver to 'Do not use the device', then back
again, wireless signal strength and Connected desktop notification work
as expected.

2016-04-16 Thread David Black
"no longer affects: ubuntu-mate" - Does this mean a fix is
pending/due for release?

After today's updates and system restart, wireless signal strength panel
notification icon, and Desktop notification message "Connected..."
worked a couple of times, but has now returned to showing Ethernet panel
notification icon, and Desktop "Disconnected..." after connection is
established.

Knowing you are really busy at the moment, are there any tests I can
perform for you, to try and help?

[Bug 1060192] [NEW] needless shell=True in a subprocess.Popen call

2012-10-02 Thread David Black
Public bug reported:

Whilst there is no issue with the following use of subprocess.Popen with
shell=True today there is no reason to use it with shell=True in this
instance.


In softwareproperties/MirrorTest.py on line 29 (through to line 34) under the 
PingWorker the following code is found:

   host = mirror.hostname

self.parent.report_action(Pinging %s... % host)
commando = subprocess.Popen(ping -q -c 2 -W 1 -i 0.5 %s % 
host,
shell=True, 
stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
stderr=subprocess.STDOUT).stdout


The code should be changed to something like the following:

commando = subprocess.Popen([ping, -q, -c 2, -W 1,  
-i 0.5, host]
, stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
stderr=subprocess.STDOUT).stdout

[Bug 964727] [NEW] The wiki page on mouse keys makes a misleading point about right-clicking

2012-03-25 Thread David Black
Public bug reported:

https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/ubuntu-help/mouse-mousekeys.html . While
it is true that most keyboards have a special key which allows you to
right-click this is not part of mouse keys. The reader could be mislead
into thinking it were impossible to do a normal right-mouse-click with
mouse-keys. The procedure for doing a right click with mouse keys
involves pressing a modifier key before pressing the mouse-click key.
Usually this will be / for left mouse-click, * for middle mouse-click
and - for right mouse-click.

[Bug 518533] Re: Unable to mount location Not Authorized after nautilus upgrade

2011-01-27 Thread David Black-Schaffer
This is also happening to me, but in a slightly different manner. Again
on a clean install of 10.10.

If I am logged in to the console X session the USB disks will mount.

However, I get errors in other VNC sessions (e.g., extra X sessions)
that I don't have permission to mount the disk. Indeed, if I am not
logged in at the console the drive will not mount even though I am
logged in via another VNC session.

This points to a more fundamental issue with the detection of when a
user should have rights to do something.

Interestingly, I can no longer shutdown from the menu bar at this point as 
others have said. (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10402198)
I could do this before I installed and ran VNC server.
I suspect this means that having two Gnome sessions running at once, or having 
one running inside VNC, or installing vnc, caused the problem.

Possibly also related, I ran into the also-reported problem that my VNC
session started up with the key d mapped to hide all windows and had
to unmap this. Perhaps there is some corruption going on here?

[Bug 297792] Re: [Regression] Olympus LS10 internal disk in 8.10 don't automount

2009-03-26 Thread David Black
I'm seeing a similar problem with a Nikon Coolpix S210 camera.

The cause is the camera formats and in my case *will only read* a card that is 
unpartitioned.
The FAT filesystem is created on the raw device.  If I partition the card in 
Linux and create a FAT filesystem on the partition, the camera refuses to make 
use of the partitioned card.

This use of the raw device for the FAT filesystem confuses Linux as it
tries to read what should be a partition table in the first few blocks
of the card, causing attempted reads of block numbers that don't exist -
hence the sense key errors.

In my opinion, if a proper partition table isn't found, Linux should
assume the card raw device is a filesystem, and attempt to identify and
mount it.
