[Bug 1579142] Re: Evince windows cannot be resized after upgrade to Xenial

2017-07-23 Thread John McPherson
still happens in 17.04.

This happens if using the Ambiance theme with gnome-flashback, so I
think it is theme related and not specifically any app window. You can
work around this by modifying your .config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css file to leave
some margin space around your window, like:

.background.csd decoration { margin: 10px; }

[Bug 1570310] Re: package systemd 229-4ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 2

2017-03-02 Thread John McPherson
I have encountered this occasionally over several years, and have just
had it happen on an install of Ubuntu 16.10 (clean install of 16.10, not
upgraded from an earlier version).

The postinst script for systemd does

   addgroup --system systemd-journal

This gives the error 
   addgroup: The group `systemd-journal' already exists and is not a system 
group. Exiting.
and package install fails.

$ dpkg -l systemd
||/ Name   Version  Architecture Description
+++-==---=
iF  systemd231-9ubuntu3 amd64system and service manager


The problem is that addgroup will return 0 for --system if the group
exists and the gid is between FIRST_SYSTEM_GID and LAST_SYSTEM_GID, but
these are not set in the default /etc/adduser.conf file, so 'addgroup
--system systemd-journal' returns 1 instead:

# addgroup --system systemd-journal
addgroup: The group `systemd-journal' already exists and is not a system group. 
Exiting.
# echo $?
1

# echo 'FIRST_SYSTEM_GID=50' >> /etc/adduser.conf
# echo 'LAST_SYSTEM_GID=300' >> /etc/adduser.conf

# addgroup --system systemd-journal
addgroup: The group `systemd-journal' already exists as a system group. Exiting.
# echo $?
0


The postinst script should be modified to either test if the group already 
exists (and not rely on addgroup to do it silently), or do  "addgroup --system 
systemd-journal || true"  to ignore errors from addgroup.


** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu)
   Status: Expired => Confirmed

actually that patch isn't enough. even with just the line
  if (avahi_dns_packet_get_field(p, AVAHI_DNS_FIELD_ANCOUNT) == 0) {
as suggested, I still get this.

Perhaps newer versions of OS X do something that triggers this? Either
way, I think we shouldn't spam people's log files.

[Bug 657094] Re: Evince when printing a pdf creates strange gapping.

2014-10-23 Thread John McPherson
This happens because cairo is putting newline \n characters into the
stream when creating PDF files (before compressing the stream), in an
attempt to do word-wrapping to keep the line size short (I think 72
columns?).

PDFs created like this appear ok on screen in evince, ghostscript etc,
but some printers don't like this - our institution has big Fuji Xerox
machines and these newline characters get turned into several spaces,
which screws up the horizontal spacing at what looks like random
character positions.

For example, here is an extract of a deflated stream from one such PDF
file:

[(M358)-10( )]TJ
-13.196 -1.15 Td
[(The Univ)-6(er)3(s)-4(i)-4(t)-8(y)11( of)-9( W)-3(es)-4(tern Aus)-4(tra\
li)-5(a )]TJ

on screen it looks like
M358
The University of Western Australia

but printed it becomes
M358
The University of Western Australia

The original PDF file doesn't have this, but evince uses libcairo to
create the print data, so the file sent to CUPS has the \\\n added to
the middle of strings in the stream. Printing the original PDF file
directly with lpr does not have this problem.

The code that is doing this is the
_word_wrap_stream_count_string_up_to() function in src/cairo-pdf-
operators.c

} else if (stream-column  stream-max_column) {
newline = TRUE;
break;
}
...
if (newline) {
_cairo_output_stream_printf (stream-output, \\\n);
stream-column = 0;
}

if either of these bits of code is disabled, then the problem is fixed.

[Bug 896836] Re: Segmentation fault when asking help() for the list of modules

2012-08-07 Thread John McPherson
The simplest combination of modules I can find that causes the segfault
(presumably due to the mixture of static and dynamic bindings for the
gtk module described above) is:

python -c 'import Onboard; import gtk '

/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:42: Warning: 
g_boxed_type_register_static: assertion `g_type_from_name (name) == 0' failed

After removing the 'onboard' package, pydoc -k will get much further
through the list of packages when searching, but now eventually hangs
for me. strace shows it seems to be a race condition on a futex in atk:

[Bug 877505] Re: compiz (core) - Warn: this should never happen. you should probably file a bug about this.

2012-02-14 Thread John McPherson
This warning message refers to a particular window, by window ID, so
just posting the warning message is not very useful because it does not
tell you which program Compiz is talking about.

Eg, for me:
compiz (core) - Warn: failed to receive ConfigureNotify event on 0x5c3

If I run xwininfo -id 0x5c3 in a terminal, I see that Compiz is
referring to Rhythmbox. Since I often close the main Rhythmbox window
(and the process stays running in the background), it could be a race
condition that happens just as the window closes. The warning by itself
is pretty harmless.

I wasn't in the office at any of those dates/times, so it's not caused
by me printing (the 21st was a Saturday and the 23rd was a public

with similar lines in the older rotated log files for the same

(both printers were added manually, rather than discovered automatically
via browsing), but that 2nd printer does not have symlinks to its ppd

[Bug 124442] Re: Fuji-Xerox engine for CUPS

2011-09-09 Thread John McPherson
Hi,

based on the above comments, I've made some .deb packages:

1) original source code from 
ftp://download.fujixerox.co.jp/pub/exe/apeosport/c4300series/fxlinuxprint-src-1.0.1.tar.gz,
 licensed under GNU GPLv2
2) get the driver to output the required headers for printing to printers with 
mandatory auditing (FXUserName setting)

Also:
3) fixed a slight problem with the PPD file that meant the printer wasn't 
visible in the GUI add printer dialogs
4) tried to fix up some potential insecure uses of strcat() function.

.deb packages and my changes to the source code are available at
http://www.wlug.org.nz/~jrm/fxlinuxprint/

To set the FXUserName variable for auditing, do one of:

a) [GNOME]
  click on System - Administration - Printing
  right-click on the printer, go to Properties, go to Job Options.
  At the bottom, enter FXUserName (case-sensitive) into the add a new 
option box, and click Add. Then set the value to the correct printer 
accounting code.

b) [command line, requires root permissions]
  stop the printing service (CUPS) with '/etc/init.d/cups stop'
   edit /etc/cups/printers.conf, and inside the Printer or DefaultPrinter 
blocks, add a new line like 'Option FXUserName 123456'.
  Now restart the printing service with '/etc/init.d/cups start'.

c) (change setting for local user only)
  From the command line, enter lpoptions -p (printername) FXUserName=123456,
  replacing 123456 with the correct printer accounting code for your 
department. You can find the printername for the already known printers   with 
'lpstat -a'
  Note! some applications that don't fully support the CUPS printing system
  (such as Open Office) will not correctly apply the option if it's set using 
this method.
  http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16t=36474

@ryanau - I couldn't find any way to get the CUPS interface to allow a
text entry dialog like that (except for adding your own option like in
step a) above). I think the PPD interface only allows PickOne-style
options.

[Bug 484499] Re: [MASTER] syntax errors in /etc/default/grub break upgrades

2010-11-26 Thread John McPherson
This fix does not resolve my bug (bug 676405). When I try upgrade-grub I
get a syntax error: newline unexpected

However can someone explain a little about grub to me?
On  my desktop I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed on one partition of my drive and 
10.10 installed in another. I use grub to choose between the two. How does this 
situation affect the grub-update function? Does the grub in the 1st menulist 
affect both distros? Is this type of install bad practice, am I better off 
having my development install in a virtual drive to minimise damage to my 
Ubuntu LTS distro?

[Bug 250517] Re: gvfs performs slowly on bulk sftp transfers

2010-05-18 Thread John McPherson
Reading the upstream bug (
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=523015 ) suggests that the
slowness is because when nautilus writes a file via gvfs, it writes a
buffer, then waits for gvfs to confirm the write, then sends more data,
waits for a reply, etc.

It seems like it is a bit of a design flaw, but it might be hard to fix
(see comment 2) since both nautilus and the sftp backend are using the
API as designed.

It doesn't look like anyone is working on it. We try to mitigate this by
not using nautilus for copies where possible.

[Bug 460886] Re: wpa_supplicant CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS crashes ath9k wireless driver

2010-03-02 Thread John McPherson
'lspci' shows that my wireless hardware (on an Acer Aspire 5737z) is:

11:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X Wireless
Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)

When I use the ath9k module installed by the linux-backports-
modules-2.6.31-19-generic package,  the wireless connectivity freezes
for a few seconds every time wpa_supplicant logs CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-
RESULTS.

When the linux-backports-modules-2.6.31-19-generic package is purged and
I use the modules provided by linux-image-2.6.31-19-generic, it is
better but not 100%. It no longer freezes every 2 minutes, but it still
happens regularly (several times an hour).

Hope this helps someone :)

[Bug 480791] Re: empathy does not display certificate error, interface for importing certificates missing

2010-01-16 Thread John McPherson
Note that the debug log doesn't even mention anything about ssl or
certificates, at least when trying to connect to a jabber server that
requires TLS. Just a generic network error message is given which
seems to imply a TCP/IP problem. So no users will know that they have to
go Edit - Accounts - Advanced - Ignore SSL certificate errors
unless they are psychic.

Also, if you go to google and start typing empathy jabber, the only
autocompletion that google gives is empathy jabber network error, with
16,000 hits.

Anyway, the link to the upstream bug is
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606535

ii  gvfs1.0.2-0ubuntu2

ii  openssh-client  1:5.1p1-3ubuntu1

Copying a 1018MB file from an ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid) desktop to a Debian
4.0 (Etch) server across our LAN (via 100Mbps ethernet):

scp command line  is around 11.1MB/s (as reported by scp)

gvfs-copy to sftp://; location: 8.6MB/s (as calculated by measuring the
Sent bytes on the ethernet interface)

copying to the same location in nautilus by using sftp://; location:
4.1MB/s (as reported by nautilus copy dialog) but 8.5MB/s as calculated
by measuring Sent bytes on eth interface!

Copying a 400MB file from ubuntu 8.10 to debian 4.0 via 1000Mbps
ethernet:

scp command line = 71MB/s

gvfs-copy = 31.9MB/s (measuring eth0 sent traffic)

nautilus = 30MB/s (measuring eth0 sent traffic), but copy dialog claims
14.6MB/s

So there are 2 problems - gvfs is significantly slower than scp for
doing copies, and nautilus is incorrectly calculating the copying speed.

[Bug 239426] Re: some text not displayed in flash applets - fonts

2009-03-05 Thread John McPherson
Ubuntu 8.10 - firefox's about:plugins saysFile name:
libflashplayer.so  Shockwave Flash 10.0 r15

if I rename the msttcorefonts Arial and Arial_Bold ttfs out of the way,
and run fc-cache and restart firefox, then it seems to work ok (well, at
least for my test site above).

So either the flashplugin behaviour has now been fixed or the system now
has the required aliases.

[Bug 296193] Re: gnome-keyring-daemon: could not lookup ... (Intrepid)

2008-12-15 Thread John McPherson
since upgrading to 8.10, I get the gnome-keyring popup asking for my
keyring passphrase the first time I run ssh-add after logging in. This
happens every time I log in. I assume the problem is that my keyring is
not being automatically unlocked by gdm with my login password.

I also have similar messages in auth.log. The one thing that the
reporter missed out is that the auth.log messages are all coming from
gdm.

The only non-standard thing that I can think about my setup is that pam
tries to get userids from 'ldap' before falling back to 'unix'.

Let me know what else I can do to help debug this.

[Bug 224291] Re: f-spot hangs on exit.

2008-08-27 Thread John McPherson
Often when I run eog, it opens a window, then hangs when trying to
actually show an image.  I also get several atk-bridge-WARNING **:
failure: no device event controller found.

stracing the hung process shows it waiting for a futex(...) call.

I see from Jeremy's debugging above that he has atk (assistive
technologies) enabled, or mono enables it by default.

Since I disabled atk, I no longer get the atk-bridge messages, and eog no 
longer lock up when I start it.
(Sometimes, gimp would lock up for me on startup too, so have to see if this 
fixes it).
If you have atk enabled (System - Preferences - Assistive Technologies), you 
can disable in on a per-terminal shell basis by unsetting the GTK_MODULES 
environment variable.

Perhaps this is the same cause of f-spot's problem.

[Bug 239426] [NEW] some text not displayed in flash applets - fonts

2008-06-12 Thread John McPherson
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

ii  firefox  3.0~rc1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1
ii  flashplugin-nonfree  9.0.124.0ubuntu2

some flash applets do not show some or all of the text that can be seen
using flash on other operating systems. I figured out that if I install
the msttcorefonts package, then the text shows up (after restarting
firefox).

strace'ing firefox shows:
...
open(/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Arial.ttf, O_RDONLY) = 51
open(/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Arial_Bold.ttf, O_RDONLY) = 51
...

so it looks like flash plugin needs an Arial font or alias setup, which
doesn't seem to be the case with a default ubuntu install.

example flash applet exhibiting this behaviour:

[Bug 39770] Re: integrated sound card does'n work

2007-11-12 Thread John McPherson
lspci says:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition 
Audio Controller (rev 02)

worked out-of-the-box in ubuntu 7.04, doesn't work out-of-the-box in
ubuntu 7.10. No sound driver was loaded.

This may be because I had the -386 kernel installed due to nvidia-glx-
new drivers. After manually installing the linux-ubuntu-
modules-2.6.22-14-386 package, I had the necessary driver (snd-hda-
intel.ko - /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-386/ubuntu/media/snd-hda-intel/snd-
hda-intel.ko) and I could modprobe it and have a sound device.

If you are not using the -386 kernel, this driver will be found in the
linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-14-generic package instead. Also, instead
of manually installing the linux-ubuntu-modules-*-* package, you should
install either linux-386 or linux-generic and then that will
automatically depend on the latest kernel and module packages.

[Bug 160092] gutsy cupsys apparmor breaks filters in /usr/local

2007-11-04 Thread John McPherson
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: cupsys

Ubuntu 7.10

local printer attached via USB.

On upgrading to gutsy and rebooting, printing no longer worked. My
printer is set up with a 3rd party driver (ptouch), and the ppd file
sets up a foomatic-rip line with gs output piped to rastertoptch.
This driver gets installed into /usr/local/lib/cups/filter/rastertoptch
and has a symlink to it from /usr/local/bin.

After bumping up cupsd's logging, I see messages like /bin/bash:
/usr/local/bin/rastertoptch: Permission Denied in cups's error_log. I
could not for the life of me figure out why it was denied, but I
eventually got it working by copying this binary to /usr/bin.

After wasting those hours, I have just discovered bug #131470 and now know that 
this problem is due to cupsd's app armor settings.
In particular, /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd does not allow any read access to 
/usr/local/lib or /usr/local/bin.

So, this bug could be fixed by:
1) adding read-only access to a bit more of /usr/local in cupsd's apparmor 
settings, and
2) mentioning app-armor somewhere in /usr/share/doc/cupsys so poor sysadmins at 
least have a tiny hint as to what is happening.

[Bug 133562] dvdunauthor gets all buttons wrong (auto_action_mode)

2007-08-19 Thread John McPherson
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: dvdauthor

Package: dvdauthor
Version: 0.6.14

dvdunauthor only writes out the button coordinates if the
auto_action_mode is true. But this is the opposite behaviour of all the
other programs - eg spuunmux crashes trying to parse the .vobs made by
dvdunauthor because if auto_action_mode on a button is false then
spuunmux tries to read the missing colour/coordinates/up/down/left/right
settings (line 1072). Similar with subgen.c:556 and dvdvob.c:956.

now it is trying to stat an empty file [strace shows stat64(, 0x...)], and it

Could the documentation please be updated to let users know exactly what

generic invalid contents message.

Ok, here is some hopefully more useful information, captured with

$ strace -t -p $(pidof skype) 2| skype-write-log.txt

just before doing something that outputs sound in skype after it has
been idle for a while. My system hung for 11 seconds, which is captured
in this strace log (although I didn't strace the process from the
beginning, so any initialisation is lost).

The interesting call just before the hang is futex(), which is used
for locking in user space. Coincidence?

[Bug 71231] invoke-rc.d starting services that it shouldn't in my runlevel

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: sysv-rc

ii  sysv-rc   2.86.ds1-14.1ubuntu16
(Ubuntu 6.10)

The man page for invoke-rc.d says:

   invoke-rc.d itself only pays attention to the current runlevel; it will
   block any attempts to start a service in a runlevel in which  the  ser‐
   vice  is  disabled. 
and
FILES
   /etc/rc?.d/*
  System V runlevel configuration (if the sysv-rc package  is  not
  being used).

When my laptop wakes up from hibernation and tries to start mysql if
possible (see /etc/default/acpi-support and look for STOP_SERVICES),
invoke-rc.d starts mysql.

I don't have any /etc/rc?.d/S*mysql* files (I removed them because I
don't ever want mysqld to be automatically started), but the man page
says that these are only used if the sysv-rc package is not being used.
The man page does not say how to disable a service in a runlevel if you
*are* using sysv-rc.

Please update the invoke-rc.d manpage in the sysv-rc package to tell
people how to disable packages in a runlevel since update-rc.d -f
$package remove doesn't do it.

Thanks

[Bug 53216] Re: BUG() report in getnstimeofday: soft lockup

2006-11-09 Thread John McPherson
I've been encountering this bug since dapper, I'd assumed it was a bug
in the kernel's networking due to the lots of weird packets skype sends
to try to get around nat, but these comments make it seem likely that
it's audio related.

Is there a way to get copious alsa debugging to see what skype is
sending to the audio drivers?

I've been seeing this on a compaq laptop and an hp laptop, both using
snd_ac97_codec and snd_intel8x0, but  obviously the amd machines seeing
this aren't using intel8x0.
