[Bug 586641] Re: java (Sun and OpenJDK) environments contain bogus XFILESEARCHPATH

2010-05-29 Thread Nonconventionally Creative
Since it occurred across implementations, I thought at first it might be a 
configuration problem.
But, the offending strings, and thus the bug, are in jre/lib/amd64/libjava.so, 
which is also in sun-java5 and the jdk7 snapshot I downloaded a while ago.
(How do I add a package to the bug?)

[Bug 586641] [NEW] java (Sun and OpenJDK) environments contain bogus XFILESEARCHPATH

2010-05-27 Thread Nonconventionally Creative
Public bug reported:

Java applications will receive the bogus environment setting
XFILESEARCHPATH=/usr/dt/app-defaults/%L/Dt
NLSPATH=/usr/dt/lib/nls/msg/%L/%N.cat

These override the sane default paths that are otherwise used

Ubuntu Jaunty
openjdk-6-jre 6b14-1.4.1-0ubuntu13
sun-java6-jre 6.20dlj-0ubuntu1.9.04

Ubuntu Lucid
openjdk-6-jre 6b17~pre3-1ubuntu2
openjdk-6-jre 6b18-1.8-0ubuntu1


apt-file search shows no existence of /usr/dt; the app-defaults directory 
should be something like /etc/X11/app-defaults/%N, with no %L (locale) 
parameter.
Simply appending :%D to the current value of XFILESEARCHPATH would invoke the 
intended behaviour, just in case that directory ever existed and was needed.


The quickest way to detect the effects of a mis-set XFILESEARCHPATH:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(xterm);
Note that the ctrl-click menu includes the heading (no app-defaults) and the 
backarrow option is checked, causing the backspace to generate the wrong code 
(might not be noticed immediately since the readline library used by bash is 
forgiving, but a program that relies on the terminal driver (e.g. cat) or a 
terminfo-based program will malfunction)

I don't know enough about NLSPATH to determine whether it breaks
anything, but I expect it does.

[Bug 259671] Re: shell script parsing of strings when there is a square bracket. Missing backslashes

2010-04-24 Thread Nonconventionally Creative
There is a much simpler test: does 
echo '\\'
print one backslash or 2?

The man page says:
   Single Quotes
 Enclosing characters in single quotes preserves the literal meaning of all 
the characters (except sin‐
 gle quotes, making it impossible to put single-quotes in a single-quoted 
string).

This bug should be SEVERE because it makes it practically impossible to
write portable shell scripts.

** Description changed:

- Backslashes are cobbled up if a string contains an open square bracket.
- 
- If you run the shell script:
- 
- #!/bin/sh
- 
- BACKSLASH='\u'
- SQUARE='\u[]'
- echo $BACKSLASH
- echo $SQUARE
- 
- on ubuntu feisty 2.6.20-16, mac os x and solaris 10 the output is:
- 
- \u
- \u[]
- 
- but after upgrading to hardy 2.6.24-19 the output is:
- 
- \u
- u[]
- 
- It seems to be the parsing of the string. This also happens parsing
- string parameters on the command line.
- 
- 
- /bin/sh is part of the bash package:
- 
- dpkg -L bash
- ...
- /bin/sh
- ...
+ In dash, backslashes are parsed within single quotes, contradicting the man 
page, as well as the behavior of other common /bin/sh implementations.

[Bug 565227] Re: ar duplicates files when flattening thin archives

2010-04-19 Thread Nonconventionally Creative
The bug is
in binutils/binemul.c
function do_ar_emul_default_append (bfd **after_bfd, bfd *new_bfd, bfd_boolean 
verbose, bfd_boolean flatten)
the line is
if (do_ar_emul_default_append (after_bfd, elt, verbose, TRUE))

where elt is the object within the archive to be added to this archive

unfortunately, the code that calculates for whether replace is possible
is in ar.c - functions in this file have no way of knowing what previous
elements exist, and the do_ar_emul_default_replace method implementation
is therefore stupid.

hmm, looking at struct bfd, I see ...

  /* Stuff only useful for archives.  */
  void *arelt_data;
  struct bfd *my_archive;  /* The containing archive BFD.  */
  struct bfd *archive_next;/* The next BFD in the archive.  */
  struct bfd *archive_head;/* The first BFD in the archive.  */
  struct bfd *nested_archives; /* List of nested archive in a flattened
  thin archive.  */
so I guess it won't be too hard to fix

[Bug 564412] [NEW] SDL_Event gives bogus NumLock and CapsLock values

2010-04-15 Thread Nonconventionally Creative
Public bug reported:

Any received SDL_KeyboardEvent relating to NumLock and CapsLock does not 
correspond to the state of the keys.
The current behavior was introduced by a patch in Debian bug #317010.

Traditional behavior: (before debian 317010; currently, if 
SDL_DISABLE_LOCK_KEYS is nonempty in the environment)
* Pressing to enable the NumLock state generates a SDL_KEYDOWN event, releasing 
generates nothing.
* Pressing to disable the NumLock state generates a SDL_KEYUP event, releasing 
generates nothing.
* Any other key event will have the correct SDLMod
* This means that, for all bits in SDLMod, between the SDL_KEYDOWN and 
SDL_KEYUP the bit is set. To nitpick, unlike the others, the bit is already set 
for NumLock (or CapsLock) in its own SDL_KEYDOWN event, but is not set for 
either of another modifier's events.
* However, the whole point of a lock is that it is not equivalent to press, 
hold, release, as a simple modifier is.

Current behavior: 
* if NumLock is off when program is started, a received SDL_KeyboardEvent will 
initially show it off in its SDLMod. Without discernable pattern, sometimes 
pressing NumLock will enable the bit in an SDLMod. 
* if NumLock is on when program is started, the bit is set in any SDLMod.
* however the bit was set, I have not found any input that will disable the bit 
again.
* if NumLock was enabled when program is started, the first time it is pressed 
it only generates SDL_KEYUP
* after that, or if NumLock was initially disabled, every press generates 
SDL_KEYDOWN and SDL_KEYUP as expected

With either behavior, the fields of a SDL_KEYDOWN event (Uint8 scancode
and SDLKey sym) are identical, except that if NumLock is on and
SDL_EnableUNICODE, the unicode field is set to the character
[0123456789/*+-]

Expected:
NumLock generates SDL_KEYDOWN when pressed and SDL_KEYUP when released AND any 
SDLMod shows the correct bit. For compatibility, leave the 
SDL_DISABLE_LOCK_KEYS environment override (but perhaps by another name) to 
enable the (predictable) traditional behavior.

Note: in the description, I refer to NumLock but not CapsLock. I
normally have CapsLock mapped to compose, but I disabled that to confirm
at least one inconsistency and that the traditional mode was consistent.


References:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=317010#5
noted the inconsistency in Traditional behavior, and patched it to cause this 
bug (but this was supposed to be disabled by default). Also, reply #15 noted 
that, among other things, CapsLock got broken.
The buggy behavior of patch (and SDL_DISABLE_LOCK_KEYS override) is in the 
final 1.2.14 upstream library (extracted from .rpm and overridden with 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH).
(All future releases will break ABI and partial API)

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=399945
reported that the patch was enabled by default instead of disabled, but never 
got a reply.

[Bug 501579] [NEW] uvcvideo webcam displays green rectangle under usb2

2009-12-30 Thread Nonconventionally Creative
Public bug reported:

Ubuntu Jaunty
linux-image-generic + linux-backports-modules-jaunty-generic 2.6.28.17.22

Gigaware usb webcam 25-1176 w/mic (0c45:62e0)

When this is connected to a USB2 port, luvcview displays only the top third of 
the image (see attachment), at 30 fps.
When it is connected to a USB1 hub, luvcview displays a full image at =8 fps. 
Also, I get a notification about a new audio and a new video input device 
being available, do you want to set this as the default?

I can't test with camorama because it is outdated and doesn't support v4l2.
I can't trivially test with cheese right now because of Bug #290506

the jaunty kernel seems to have ehci_hcd builtin instead of as a module, so my 
only choice right now is using a usb1 hub.
however it is connected, it displays the following in dmesg, about half a 
second apart:
nn:3:1: cannot get freq at ep 0x84
nn:3:1: cannot get freq at ep 0x84
where nn is an integer (same for both) that has held the following values 
recently {16,17,5,19,6,7,3,5,6,7,9,25} (low numbers tend to occur via hub, high 
numbers via direct connection, increases by 1 if I just unplug and replug to 
hub, increase by 2 if unplugging and replugging the whole hub).

[Bug 501742] [NEW] bash completion functions fail with aliases

2009-12-30 Thread Nonconventionally Creative
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bash-completion

Ubuntu Jaunty
bash_completion 20080705ubuntu3

Introduction:
Bash functions resolve aliases at the time they are defined.
Bash completion uses functions heavily and depends on the exact semantics of 
the commands called.
In the default .bashrc, the aliases section is before the completion section.
To trigger an error:
$ alias grep='grep -H'
$ source /etc/bash_completion
$ dpkg -L press tab

A workaround is to make sure all aliases are
Fix #1 (impractical): Call every command prepended with a backslash
Fix #2 (recommended): to /etc/bash_completion, add
\alias/tmp/bash_aliases_$$
\unalias -a
at the beginning of the file, and
source /tmp/bash_aliases_$$
\rm /tmp/bash_aliases_$$
at the end. This method has the additional effect of fixing any 
bash_completion.d functions supplied by other packages.
(I don't think anyone would actually alias the alias/unalias builtins, but it 
can't hurt. rm is a realistic target for aliases)

Attached is a patch for Jaunty (diff -u).

the play icon in the systray menu would start the playlist over again.
In the new amarok, it just plays the last song on the playlist again.

[Bug 433771] [NEW] Amarok can't seek position within a track

2009-09-20 Thread Nonconventionally Creative
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: amarok

Ubuntu 9.04
amarok 2:2.0.2mysql5.1.30-0ubuntu3 from jaunty
amarok 2:2.1.1mysql5.1.30-0ubuntu1~jaunty1 from jaunty-backports
Also occurs in: amarok-kde3 2:1.4.10-0ubuntu5 from kde3-maintainers repository.

When a file is playing (mine are all FLAC, if for some reason it makes a 
difference), you can click / drag to change the position in the file.
Expected: Letting go, amarok seeks to that position in the file and plays from 
there.
Actual: amarok freezes for several seconds, then reverts to approximately where 
you started (often it is slightly after, but not so much as the time that has 
passed)

[Bug 433777] [NEW] synaptic gives garbage message, crashes on forcing package version with dependencies

2009-09-20 Thread Nonconventionally Creative
Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 9.04
synaptic 0.62.5ubuntu3 from jaunty-updates

If Package A depends on a specific version of Package B, then
Choosing Force Package version on Package A will do nothing.
Choosing Force Package version on Package B will note that Package A must be 
up/downgraded, but:
trying to apply changes will give an empty list NOT AUTHENTICATED and then, 
on confirmation, display:
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
E: Unable to lock the download directory.
and all marked changes disappear.

Example packages: amarok depends on an equal version of amarok-common between 
jaunty and jaunty-backports.
This occurs whether for an upgrade or a downgrade.
For some packages, this can be worked-around by removing and then installing 
the desired version.

[Bug 249650] Re: Workspace switcher preview compressed after increasing Visual Effects

2009-09-20 Thread Nonconventionally Creative
I don't see what's incomplete about this bug. I know I'm not supposed to
confirm my own bugs, so why can't someone do something about it? It is
100% reproduceable, given a decent graphics card.

And if I'm just going to be told upgrade to the next (alpha) release
and see if it goes away again ... I suppose I could. Now that I've had
no problems with 64-bit on my laptop (which I'm using more, now; I used
to read about things like flash not working), I feel like I should stop
running 32-bit on this one. So before I reinstall, I could give it a
try. My university has a mirror, so I get good speeds.

2009-09-01 Thread Nonconventionally Creative
Just marked 310543 and its 3 duplicates as  duplicates of this bug, since it is 
the same problem, even if the exact method of reproducing varies - in all, 
*something* has to change about the state of the filechooser before it'll 
extract.
The only aberration is that comment 7 could no longer reproduce in karmic a 
while ago with file-roller 2.26.1, but it doesn't mention the version of this 
library that actually has the bug, may actually be the effect of changing some 
other state, and there's also the possibility of a regression.

[Bug 419377] [NEW] gnome keyboard shortcuts launch program with current directory root

2009-08-26 Thread Nonconventionally Creative
Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 9.04
Package version: The package must be a dependency of gnome-control-center 
(maybe gnome-settings-daemon? I've attached versions of all direct 
dependencies.), because that is the package that contains the executable 
gnome-keybinding-properties
Expected: when setting keyboard shortcuts in System - Preferences - Keyboard 
Shortcuts, applications launched have a working directory of ~
Actual: applications have a working directory of /
This isn't a showstopper (since any application with really important paths 
should set it itself), but a UI nightmare, e.g. starting something like gedit 
this way will cause the File - Open and File - Save dialogs to default to a 
useless directory.

Workaround: in the box, use
sh -c 'cd ~;exec gedit'
for an application that doesn't have a --working-directory option.

[Bug 403794] [NEW] unmanaged X initially doesn't show mouse pointer

2009-07-23 Thread Nonconventionally Creative
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg

Ubuntu 9.04
xserver-xorg 1:7.4~5ubuntu18

When starting a new X session without a session/window manager, but only 
something basic like an xterm, the mouse pointer initially does not appear. 
However, moving the mouse up and left to be over the window makes it appear, 
even when subsequently moved off (which loses keyboard focus).
I confirmed this off a (KDE3, but that doesn't matter) Jaunty LiveCD in 
VirtualBox, so it's not my xorg.conf.
Hardy and Intrepid both displayed the mouse from the beginning; they also had a 
gray background, whereas Jaunty just gives blackness.

simple, universal command to reproduce:
startx /usr/bin/xterm -geometry 20x10 -- :1
or
X :1 DISPLAY=:1.0 xterm -geometry 20x10

#:1 so it doesn't mess with your first X session
#-geometry 20x10 is necessary for people with only one, small screen, so the 
cursor doesn't start on top of the xterm
#startx requires absolute paths, but makes things easy
#starting X via second method, you have to kill the job yourself, but proves it 
isn't a bug in that part

[Bug 401548] [NEW] doing a release upgrade shouldn't uninstall stuff from 3rd party repositories

2009-07-19 Thread Nonconventionally Creative
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: update-manager-core

There are a couple of problems I encountered, and all of them center on the 
behavior of a release upgrade when the user has 3rd party repositories enabled. 
For me, this involves the kde3 repository from intrepid to jaunty, but the 
problem is not with the repository, but with the way ubuntu handles it.
1. Trying to do a release upgrade failed at first because 
kubuntu-desktop-kde3 was on the list to be removed, yet it was also on the 
blacklist of packages that can't be removed. This message should just be a 
warning, because removing obsolete packages is not an essential part of the 
system upgrade, and in fact the default is not to remove them. (See 3) I had to 
removed kubuntu-desktop-kde3 in order to continue.
2. On running a release upgrade, it wanted to remove packages from the 
repositories it disabled. This makes unhappy users. I didn't check to see 
whether this was all packages or just the ones automatically installed under 
kubuntu-desktop-kde3. 
3. Just a nitpick, but running do-release-upgrade, near the end there's a 
prompt like remove packages [yN] details [d] where, unlike the rest, just 
pressing enter doesn't accept the default value. If it matters, I did choose d 
first.

[Bug 249650] Re: Workspace switcher preview compressed after increasing Visual Effects

2009-07-19 Thread Nonconventionally Creative
I couldn't test it on Jaunty earlier because my ATI Radeon X1600 didn't have 
the binary driver for the new X server.
Now that I got some hardware upgrades, I upgraded and tried again, but after 
getting the nvidia binary drivers to work, it told me Desktop effects cannot 
be enabled.
So, although I confirmed it on Hardy and Intrepid, I can't test it on Jaunty. 
Is there some way to force changing the desktop-switcher? I don't see why this 
bug is still marked Incomplete, what more information can I give? Surely 
there is *someone* out there who can enable desktop effects...

[Bug 363170] [NEW] wget -N -O should work if only retrieving one file

2009-04-17 Thread Nonconventionally Creative
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: wget

From the man page:
   Use of -O is not intended to mean simply use the name file instead 
of the one in the URL; rather, it is analogous to shell redirection: wget -O 
file http://foo
   is intended to work like wget -O - http://foo  file; file will be 
truncated immediately, and all downloaded content will be written there.

   For this reason, -N (for timestamp-checking) is not supported in 
combination with -O: since file is always newly created, it will always have a 
very new timestamp.
   A warning will be issued if this combination is used.

However, this does not make sense if you are only downloading one url
(the simple sense), and want to specify the filename, such as if
downloading a url like http://example.com?page=1 to file page1.html.

[Bug 331340] [NEW] icoutils man page technical typo.

2009-02-18 Thread Nonconventionally Creative
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: icoutils

Package version 0.26.0-2 for Intrepid.

The file
/usr/share/man/man1/icotool.1.gz
is missing a .TP before the documentation for the --width option, leading 
to a runon when viewed by the man program.

[Bug 249650] Re: Workspace switcher preview compressed after increasing Visual Effects

2009-01-31 Thread Nonconventionally Creative
Sorry, I can't enable visual effects with the VirtualBox graphics
driver, even with the video memory increased and Enable 3D
acceleration checked. Is there a way to force compiz to activate with
software rendering or something?

I don't want to overwrite my only machine, and the LiveCD doesn't run
the restricted drivers, right? (I haven't actually downloaded the ISO; I
did an upgrade from an Intrepid install in VirtualBox.)

[Bug 288368] [NEW] Konsole UI scrolls lines incorrectly after changing window size

2008-10-23 Thread Nonconventionally Creative
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: konsole

1. Ubuntu 8.04.1, installed kubuntu-desktop package, with all updates as of 
2008-10-23.
2.
konsole:
  Installed: 4:3.5.10-0ubuntu1~hardy2
  Candidate: 4:3.5.10-0ubuntu1~hardy2
  Version table:
 *** 4:3.5.10-0ubuntu1~hardy2 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
 4:3.5.9-0ubuntu7 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages
3. Expect: after changing window size, then scrolling upward, then typing or 
using keyboard to cycle through command history, window resets so that the 
entry line is the last line on the page.
4. Actual: window resets so that the entry line is the nth line from the top, 
where n is the vertical size of the window before the window's size was changed.
5. Reproducability: always
Open Konsole.
Enter a command that will have output over a screen in length, such as ls -l.
Maximize the Konsole window.
Scroll upward.
Type something or use the arrow keys to navigate.

Note: the problem continues to occur until the next command is executed,
even if the entry line is visible. This is particularly annoying when
consulting a --help for an unfamiliar command.

[Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share

2008-10-19 Thread Nonconventionally Creative
I do believe I have found the source for the patch, but I'm not sure how to 
compile it:
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/15/1.html
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/15/2.html
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/15/15.html

The key is not to directly attack Microsoft, but to sue the companies that 
grant Microsoft an illegal monopoly on the OS that runs on their hardware.
For example, the Dell legal policies, found at 
http://www.dell.com/content/topics/global.aspx/policy/en/policy?c=usl=ens=gen~section=010#total
state Application software and operating systems that have been installed by 
Dell may be returned only if installed on a returnable system, and only if you 
return that system within the applicable return period.
which is in direct contradiction to the Microsoft EULA, which states that the 
Microsoft product (which is an entirely separate product from the Dell computer 
hardware) may be returned for a full refund.

I am certain other hardware-sellers can be caught similarly.

[Bug 249650] [NEW] Workspace switcher preview compressed after increasing Visual Effects

2008-07-17 Thread Nonconventionally Creative
Public bug reported:

On a new install of 8.04, I ran updates and installed a few packages that 
shouldn't have any effect at all on the display.
The only thing I did related to the display was install the restricted driver 
for my ATI Radeon X1600 (oh, and moved that one bar to the bottom, since I'm 
used to Windows)

The scenario is this:
With Appearance Preferences/Visual Effects set to None, I set there to be 
two rows for a total of six workspaces (3 each - this should really use the 
row/column like the other one)
Then I enabled Visual Effects (whether to Normal or Extra made no difference) 
and it put all of my workspaces on a single row, using the top half of the 
workspace display. When I set it to 2 rows of three columns, it compressed 
everything to something really small - but not unclickable - crammed in the top 
half of the display.

With some experimentation I determined:
The number of columns has no effect whatsoever.
If more than two rows are used when Virtual Effects are off, then when they are 
turned on the new rows are compressed into the corresponding fraction of 
available space.

To workaround, turn Virtual Effects off and set all workspaces to one
row, then turn them on again and arrange as desired.
