[Bug 283635] Re: [MASTER] nm 0.7 VPN import of cisco .pcf settings doesn't work properly

2010-09-17 Thread Dr D J Clark
This is still a bug in Network Manager Applet 0.8, Network Manager-vpnc
0.8-ubuntu3

The enc_GroupPwd= is imported from the .pcf file and it is decrypted,
but it would appear that the resulting decrypted string is incomplete,
probably truncated. As a result although the decrypted Group Password
appears in the Network Manager applet it does not work.

2010-04-23 Thread Dr D J Clark
This seems to affect the 64bit version 
3.0.1 OOO300m15 (build:9379)
openoffice.org-core 1.3.0.1-9ubuntu3.2 Fri Feb 19 23:33:57 UTC 2010

OOO310m19 (build:9420)
openoffice.org-core 1:3.1.1-5ubuntu1.1 Fri Feb 19 23:52:09 UTC 2010

as transfering the .odt file to another machine and creating the pdf
with the latter version was ok.

rant 
I hate OpenOffice, every stupid misfeature in MS Office doggedly imitated and 
then some more of their own. If I didn't need to use it for all the stupid .doc 
and .ppt file idiots send me I would never touch it. What's wrong with plain 
text.

[Bug 244353] Re: [ooo-build] OpenOffice exports PDF with arabic numerals instead of regular numbers

2010-04-22 Thread Dr D J Clark
Econtered this today. The document was originally a word file (.doc)
Added some rows and colums from another open OO spreadsheet and then
tried to export as PDF. Numbers but not text in the spreadsheet objects
appeared in wrong (appears to be hebrew) font. Tried various fonts,
saved doc as ODT rather than DOC, tried again, and again etc. Sometimes
the problem seemed fixed with a change of font if saving closing and
reopening the file before exporting. The problem appears random in than
some times a save or change of font appears to fix the problem only to
findanother table has reverted to the erroneous font in the pdf.

[Bug 283635] Re: [MASTER] nm 0.7 VPN import of cisco .pcf settings doesn't work properly

2009-08-14 Thread Dr D J Clark
I am using a version of the vpnc plugin that has been recompiled with
certificate support (detail at http://www.publishing.ucl.ac.uk/roamnet.html)

As noted in the original report I can connect using the command line 
vpnc-connnect. The
problem is that NM cannot be used. The location of the certificate file and the
Group password are included in my /etc/vpnc/default.conf. ( I am also able to 
connect with these argument on the command line.) It would appear that
NM does not use this and entering the GroupPwd in the NM dialogue does not work

No I cannot connect using NM even with the GroupPwd and entered in the NM 
dialogue . Of course that may be that NM isn't finding the cert [1], but the 
result of the export/import test suggests that both cert and GroupPwd are
being ignored or mishandled.

[1] I only have one example VPN to test, and that requires a cert.

[Bug 67146] Re: synaptic pinning/locking does not work

2009-08-05 Thread Dr D J Clark
I'm not sure if this is the same bug, but Pinning still appears broken
in Jaunty Synaptic.

I downloaded the source for vpnc, recompiled and installed with dpkg.
When reloading the package index vpnc then appears in the list of
updateable packages. I then pinned the package in synaptic. It appears
in the status listing as 'Pinned'. If I reload then it no longer appears
in the upgradeable list. So far so good. But if I 'Mark all Upgrades'
although the pinned package is not marked when I click on 'Apply' the
pinned package is included in the list of packages to be upgraded. So it
appears to be pinned and the /var/lib/synaptic/preferences file contains
an entry, but nonetheless synaptic is still marking it for update.

[Bug 300693] Re: Thinkpad T61p hardlock flashing caps lock

2009-04-15 Thread Dr D J Clark
Here is the data you requested.

Lenovo (IBM) Thinkpad T61 (type 7659-2TG)
hard lockup with Caps Lock lamp flashing. Only occurs when using wireless, but 
is v. irregular 

As this occurs seemingly at random it is difficult to be sure of the relevant 
conditions.
It *may* affect only my T61 but not my R60e with the same software install.
It *may* affect only my university 'eduroam' connection (see 
http://www.publishing.ucl.ac.uk/eduroam.html)
It *may* affect wireless eduroam only in some locations.
But on the other hand it may just be luck that it has happened several times 
within minutes using eduroam in one location but never in my office, and only 
with the T61, never with the R60e.

On one machine which has been upgraded from 6.06 through to 7.10 the
multiport connection was working ok until a few weeks ago when I
suddenly found I was getting through to the same server whichever port
connection was used. So that suggests to me that there has been some
change in the configuration file: until the most recent update (around
Nov/Dec 2007) the list of connections carried over from previous
versions was working even with the current version of nautilus.

Note the problem is NOT with remote host identification; I use the same
host keys on the servers, so connecting on the command line with private
keys there is no problem.

2007-09-06 Thread Dr D J Clark
I have tested the most recent displayconfig-gtk (0.2+20070905) with IBM
R60e today (2007-09-06) [Intel driver]

Problems:
Booting with Dell fp2000 (1600x1200) display connected but not switched on 
laptop screen is blank. On switching on the Dell external screen the resolution 
is less than 1600x1200
This, I know is a limitation of the Intel driver, and can be fixed by using 
command line xrandr to switch on the laptop screen ( xrandr  --output LVDS 
--auto) and set the correct reslution for the internal monitor (xrandr  
--output VGA --mode 1600x1200 --pos 1024x0)

Attempting to achieve the same using only displayconfig-gtk causes X to
fail

The version of displayconfig-gtk (0.2+20070731ubur) is better than the previous 
in that it dosn't cause x to crash. However it still
* Adds extra stuff to my xorg.conf that overides my virtual display setting
* Does not detect what I really have
* A user interface problem: it is not clear which is 'Screen 1' and 'Screen 2'


Thinkpad R60e, + Dell FP2100
attached doc lists the details of what I have and what happens using 
displayconfig-gtk

[Bug 113721] Re: Multi_key sequence forLatin capital U with macron

2007-06-01 Thread Dr D J Clark
The only documentation I can find is the comments in the source code which I 
have quoted above.  That is why I am creating the documentation on the Ubuntu 
wiki.  
As best as I can understand the actual code it would appear that the fix would 
be to change the unicode string to produce the correct characters eg 
/gtk/gtkimcontextsimple.c (gtk+ version 2.10.7)

change  lines 635 and 639 from 0x016B to 0x016A
 
Source line 635
  GDK_Multi_key, GDK_U, GDK_minus, 0, 0, 0x016A, /* 
LATIN_CAPITAL_LETTER_U_WITH_MACRON */

Source line 639
  GDK_Multi_key, GDK_U, GDK_underscore, 0, 0, 0x016A, /* 
LATIN_CAPITAL_LETTER_U_WITH_MACRON */

This would make the comments, the sense of the Key sequence using upper
case U and the unicode value all in agreement and coherent with similar
codes in the file.

Yes it would be best to open the bug upstream with Gnome but I already
have a login with Ubuntu  whereas I would have to open yet another
account and forgettable password to do the same with Gnome.

[Bug 61184] Re: Screen brightness buttons don't work properly on Thinkpad (R60e)

2007-05-14 Thread Dr D J Clark
The patch above (Svenny  said on 2007-04-14:) did work for R60e with Fiesty  
(Fiesty had code in 
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-laptop-panel-mgmt-policy.fdi for Lenovo 
X, T and Z series but nothing for R)
But a few days ago there was an update to hal which changed 
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-laptop-panel-mgmt-policy.fdi and 
removed the 
device
match key=info.category string=laptop_panel
  match 
key=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:smbios.system.manufacturer 
string=LENOVO
...
code completely. I am not sure if the changed hal now tries to fix this problem 
elsewhere, in which case model R had been overlooked again, or if the whole 
Lenovo laptop fix which was in the original Fiesty release has been dropped 
with the updated version.

Reapplying the patch works.

[Bug 113721] Multi_key sequence forLatin capital U with macron

2007-05-09 Thread Dr D J Clark
Public bug reported:

I am creating documentation for the Compose Key
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComposeKey and 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GtkComposeTable
in the course of which I am keying in all of the Multi_key sequences defined in 
/gtk/gtkimcontextsimple.c (gtk+ version 2.10.7)

The sequences
Multi_key U - [capital U, minus) and Multi_Key U _ (capital U, underscore) 
should produce Latin Capital U with macron Ū. In fact they generate a lower 
case u with macron ū
Note also that the source file has the unicode for the lower case value 
(0x016B) although both the description and the use of upper case keys in the 
sequence would make it reasonable to expect an upper case U with macron. 
(0x016A). The equivalent code for the lower case u is correct in every case.

Ū  Multi_key minus U  0x016A Latin capital U with macron
ū  Multi_key U underscore 0x016B Latin capital U with macron *BUG*
ū  Multi_key U minus   0x016B Latin capital U with macron *BUG*
Ū  Multi_key underscore U 0x016A Latin capital U with macron
ū  Multi_key minus u   0x016B Latin small U with macron
ū  Multi_key u minus   0x016B Latin small U with macron
ū  Multi_key u underscore 0x016B Latin small U with macron
ū  Multi_key underscore u 0x016B Latin small U with macron

2007-03-25 Thread Dr D J Clark
Seems this bug is same as 71204, 87028, 61184, 90925, 8i585, I append my
case here to save opening yet another report.

Thinkpad R60e, Kubuntu 7.04 (installed as herd4 updated to 2007-03-25 ie
= 7.04 beta)

Fn+Home and Fn+End Brightness buttons don't work properly on Thinkpad
R60e. Screen goes blank, pressing button multiple times does get a
response eventually and screen is dimmed. This feature does work ok on
6.06.

[Bug 59882] Re: Access to remote SSH server does not distinguish the connection by port

2007-02-08 Thread Dr D J Clark
I am using 6.10 Nautilus version 2.16.1

I have several servers behind a firewall to which I connect with SSH with 
private keys. ie. ssh://[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2201, ssh://[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2201  
etc.
This works ok for command line ssh/scp/sftp
Using the Places:Connect to server menu I can create menu items in 
Places:Network places:Server 1,  Places:Network places:Server 2 etc. But 
Nautilus does not distinguish by port so all the connections display the files 
on the first connection used. Rebooting the system resets this so another 
connection can be used.
On version 6.06 the problem could be worked round as after a reboot each 
connection would work correctly, but I now find that with 6.10 even after a 
reboot the first selected connection in a session is the only one that connects.

[Bug 63418] Re: CPU soft lockup during bootup

2006-11-14 Thread Dr D J Clark
The thermal sensor on the wireless card is needed to ensure the wireless 
operates at the correct frequency. If the wireless is switched off then 
obviously it does not matter.
I assume the patch breaks a loop in which the system is held until the thermal 
sensor indicates that the wireless has 'warmed up' and calibrated.
The patch thus fixes the proximate cause of the lock-up problem but is no more 
than a patch for a more fundamental problem; if the wireless is switched off 
the system should not be attempting to load and set up wireless at all. (though 
this does raise the problem of how this should be done if the wireless is 
switched on after boot has completed.)

[Bug 63418] Re: CPU soft lockup during bootup

2006-11-07 Thread Dr D J Clark
noting the report of bug 70722

I recently had a strange problem with my wireless connection which
affected both edgy and dapper. The wireless connection appeared to be ok
at boot but then mysteriously disconnected after a minute or so. After
several attempts to restart networking and reboots of both Dapper and
Edgy I booted to my WinXP partition to check it that was working. It was
not, but after booting back to Dapper wireless resumed normal operation
and has not been a problem (at least in Dapper) since.

Could this bug be a problem with the firmware binary that is loaded for
the wireless driver?

[Bug 63418] Re: CPU soft lockup during bootup

2006-10-19 Thread Dr D J Clark
It certainly seems to be related to the wireless switch
I have been booting daily with wireless switch on two weeks and the problem has 
not occured. Today I booted with the  Wireless switched off and had ¨soft 
lockup on CPU0¨. Rebooted, still with Wireless of and the boot was ok. I notice 
that just before the Reiser journal processing, which is where the lockup 
occurs there was with the sucessful boot a message ¨Wireless Kill Switch on 
this does not seem to appear on occasions when the lockup occurs.

Sound volume on Edgy is very low ensuring the master volume slider and the 
keyboard buttons are at maximum the sound volume is barely audible, yet the 
same machine booted with dapper has more than adequate sound.
