Re: [Bug 395524] Re: ssh host key mismatch results in generic error message
Dear Matt, I fear I have not made myself clear. The error in Gnome, (nautilus?) Places Bookmarks entries is due to the fact that there is no clear error message when a connection fails due to ssh key mismatch. It would prove difficult to attach a screen shot of something that fails silently and with no error output. Having fixed the error on my system it would take considerable doing to re-break it. Do you know know of any way to simulate a key error in the ~/.ssh/known_hosts file? The concept of the error, a silent key mismatch error with no visible report, is the point of this bug. If you would like, I could design a screen-shot of what the error message should look like, since at this time there is no error message, merely an error. On the positive side, from reading your note it appears that the affected component is bookmarksftp which is part of gvfs. Is this correct? Thanks and...

[Bug 395524] [NEW] Places Bookmarks nautilus Bug
Public bug reported: Note that this is subtle annoyance. If you use the Places Bookmarks feature in Gnome, sometimes you get very mysterious failures to connect. The error message will be Service Unavailable but the fact is that the known_hosts file in the .ssh directory merely has the wrong key loaded. This creates what appears to be an intermittent connectivity problem till you inadvertently reset the key using another service, such as ssh. One possible solution is to expand the error message to something meaningful. Ultimately, this could be a lot more useful. How hard could it be to avoid having to edit the ~/.gtk-bookmarks file to get into this bookmark area what you want. While I am not opposed to this manual editing approach, there may be a better way. I am thinking... Please note that I have not the foggiest idea how to determine what package this bug is in. I would be attentive to someone who could tell me.

Re: [Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share
Dear Kylea, Thanks for the note. Seriously, while your note may be about computers, programs and operating systems, I see it as an individual discussing a journey to find a system they can live with. My only suggestion is that you consider giving a nod to the pantheon of giants, including but not limited to Mark the SADFL (who is no slouch at coding BTW :^), who for reasons known only to themselves code these systems. I suspect that their software development activism is a new art form, and we patrons owe to them whatever we can give, but minimally we can easily prefer to these good crafts-folk our thanks, our recognition, and in my case more than a touch of envy. My own resources are, on the eve of my country's election, at depressingly low levels, yet I feel the strength of Ubuntu here in the world. My own modest personal commitment at this time of personal and economic privation in rural Vermont, in North America is to commit to those traveling in the name of open systems that they need only say the word Ubuntu at my door that they be assured the spirit of that word will be delivered to them in full measure. I am no great coder, but this is what I currently have, and this is what I have to offer. Kylea, you live literally on the other side of the world from me, yet we share the same 30 years of experience (reference http://www.flint.com/flint). At one time America had leaders who asked us not what our country could do for us but what we could do for our country. In a previous paragraph I outlined my own very modest commitment to this system we use. Beyond celebrating these coders by using their systems, and commenting here in your letter on how fine their systems are (except of course, the damn Bluetooth :^), I believe that the key to this whole movement is what can you and I, personally do to help. Part of this help are bug reports. So thanks for the bug report Kylea, I hope all is well in your land, and that Democracy and prosperity are soon restored in my own.

[Bug 1] The fault is not with our stars but within ourselves
Greetings fellow bugtrackers, I have always enjoyed the nature of this list, and it is with the deepest regret that I must post what I believe to be a seminal problem. Before I post this issue I would review some of the advantages of Ubuntu Linux. 1. It is very easy to install, 2. It is very flexible and customizable, 3. Cost of ownership and support is reasonable. Many more advantages exist, so I thought to study this product, become expert with it, and support myself by supporting this product. After 4 years in this activity I am now destitute, and unable to make my financial obligations. In my desperation to make Ubuntu work, I considered the U.S. Federal market, which, while a small market now, could if properly supported sustain me, my family and maybe others. The following proposal was sent, last month for the third time. Begin Insert From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Aug 23 06:43:31 2008 Date: Sat, 23 Aug 2008 06:43:31 -0400 (EDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Mark Shuttleworth [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED], Matt Zimmerman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Ubuntu U.S. Federal Marketing Project Dear Mark, First, let me welcome Andrew Roadway to this discussion. Matt Zimmerman informs me that Andrew is the Canonical Director of Marketing, and I presume, would be the lead in this or any other marketing proposal. In the past few months I have discussed with many of you the possibility of establishing a U.S. Federal Marketing force for the purpose of vending Ubuntu to U.S. Government (USG) agencies. I believe that the features of such an organization would be as follows: All USG organizations must adhere to the Federal Acquisition Regulations. This requires that USG sites purchase software support licensees. This requirement specifically includes Free and Open Source (FOS) products. A designated agency of the U.S. Government called the General Services Administration (GSA) strictly governs USG purchasing activity. GSA regulations, under certain conditions, give preferential treatment to U.S. Owned Businesses, Small Disadvantaged Businesses (SDB) and Veteran Owned Businesses. The Buy American and Small Disadvantaged Veterans Owned Business preferences are where I would like to base a proposal. I believe, that with the cooperation and exclusive endorsement of the Canonical Corporation, distribution to the U.S. Federal Government, while a rare occurrence now, is ripe for long term profit. WHAT WE INTEND TO DO: Establish a Small Disadvantaged Veteran Owned Business (SDVOB) with a GSA schedule for purchase of Canonical Support Licensees. We expect to deliver a profit margin of eighty (80) percent of this income stream back to Canonical. Equip an office with U.S. nationals and Veterans trained at the Canonical Montreal facility to offer Buy American Act compliant support service. WHAT WE NEED TO PROCEED: We need to establish a marketing agreement with Canonical. This would need to include a time period during which this enterprise would enjoy exclusive U.S. Government marketing rights. I am convinced with this agreement in place, no other resources would be required to make this a profitable project. WHAT TO EXPECT: The Administration changes set to occur in Washington in 150 days will open doors to a wider range of operating software systems being deployed by disparate Federal agencies. A new Administration invariably creates a climate where there is greater receptivity to innovative products. As the Federal Agency workforce turnover increases, particularly in IT divisions, now is the time to market the superior alternative of the Ubuntu product. Simply put, with proper GSA compliant support contracts available, the new generation of IT professionals inside the Beltway will embrace and deploy open source operating systems, particularly Ubuntu. Being positioned by a sales agent for U.S. Federal sales at this time costs Canonical nothing, and in the future can lead to considerable profit. I have established a private wiki at http://docbox.flint.com:8081/uusg to continue work on this idea. You will find this proposal posted there along with the latest developments as they occur. I look forward to our collective mutual gain, the opportunity to do well by doing good, and I thank you for your time.

[Bug 1] Microsoft has a majority market share
Greetings List Lurkers, My contribution to this bug report is to point out that it is pervasive. It appears that you cannot get a job in the U.S. without using Microsoft Products. Please read below: Should a preference for Open Source Software be considered a mental handicap for Human Resource Specialists? Is there any study or citation in the Human Resources area regarding the programmed in bias that products such as erecruit, SAP or PeopleSoft exhibit? The result of such a bias, if I am correct in identifying it, is to guarantee the perpetuation of Microsoft Products in the workplace. I realize this is maybe too damn much for a Monday, but I appreciate your thoughts and imaginative response. My recent, admittedly imperfect, understanding and modest research indicates that in many cases the commercial closed source program erecruit which is used by the many large Human Resources Departments, has been known to negatively impact on applications made using the Firefox web browser. One known defect is that security features used in the Firefox browser which prevent, pop-ups and other annoying, involuntary, unwanted and possibly malicious effects on my personal computer excludes properly applying for positions in my State Government. Internet Explorer, on the other hand, famously allows these Active X security risks by default. Sadly enough, it has been my professional mission for the last few years to point out the advantages of Free and Open Source Software, such as Firefox, as viable, modern and thrifty alternatives for just such reasons. What appears to be happening is simply put, if I do not use Microsoft Internet Explorer, I cannot apply for a State Government position. Thus, this singular support of the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser actively discriminates against between 12.5 to 65 percent of all Internet users. The effect of this bug in erecruit may cause this application to only process candidates that use Microsoft products. I would suggest that exclusive use of Microsoft products is not in the best interests of any Human Resources Department's recruiting mission, or a necessary hiring goal, but I could be wrong. My conclusion here is that my professional preference for Open Source Software could be considered a mental handicap. I use Linux not because I am a petulant a-hole (not that I am not :^), but honestly, because it makes more sense to me than Microsoft Windows products. Could this be considered a defect such that I could claim accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act? I would appreciate information from anyone who has gone through this in their own job search.

Re: [Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share
Dear Mark and Conrad, On Thu, 20 Dec 2007, Mark Shuttleworth wrote: The underlying idea is that Ubuntu should express the best of free software, but that it should also be useful to EVERYONE and a platform on top of which people can build even if they don't have entirely the same set of values. We are not trying to beat freedom into the skulls of those who do not want it, we are showing them what is possible and leading them towards that freedom one step at a time. As some of you all may be aware, I admire the free software movement from the supine position of an acolyte, thought I would wish to posses the skills and think the thoughts necessary to be an author, a writer of good software. I believe that what Ubuntu and the open source movement is about is the recognition and celebration of those touched by the muse of software, who follow the endless cycle; edit, save, compile, debug, edit... The image that I wish to include as part of my understanding of the Dell issue is the Grand Canyon, also in the United States: http://www.oursaviorchurch.org/school/faculty/gthorp/wp- content/uploads/2007/05/tour_grand_canyon_1.jpg Look at this image and it becomes very clear that there are layers of stone set one on top of another. This dovetails with my vision of the software world. This vision is quite beautiful, yet for many, barren. The open source movement represents a force moving through these layers. this force of software freedom is not irresistible in its effectiveness, yet it is immutable. Sometimes it goes around an intransigent sedimentary layer, sometimes under, maybe over, but always in the end this elemental force cuts through. It wins out. Several days ago I celebrated my birthday, the years I have lived now far exceed a half of a century. In my life I have seen damn few miracles. The water of the Colorado River that cut the Grand Canyon may be one, but the Open Source Software movement exceeds even this wonder. I urge you all to continue to squabble, connive and complain, continue to argue, debate, shout and above all, continue to edit, save, compile, debug, edit... Let the water do its work.

[Bug 1] The past is prelude...
Greetings, Last night, I dreamed of a new law. This new Software Development Lifecycle Law, related to any and all software unsupported by the original vendor, manufacturer or developer (OEM). This law would require that the source code escrow agents of these supposedly obsolete and unsupported software products and systems either demonstrate contract with an agent supporting this code system or end their stewardship and disclose the source code in escrow. In this dream, I was using Dbase and editing with Wordstar, as they were now open source, ( I was thinking about switching to Edix :^). In this dream Micro$oft suddenly was supporting all versions of its software starting at MS DOS 3.0. All windows versions prior to Windows 2000 were supported under a contract with Computer Associates. While at a ridiculous price, windows 2000 and onward were supported directly by Micro$soft. Warty Warthog under this law, was placed in the public domain... Can anyone else think of the unintended consequences of this type of Software Development Lifecycle Law (SDLCL)? Thank you and...

Dear Till, I am very impressed at your scholarship in this matter, and agree with your assessment of the paper-type bug right up to the following statement: On Thu, 18 Oct 2007, Till Kamppeter wrote: In addition, there should be a GUI tool added where the locale settings can be easily changed, so that if a user goes to another country temporarily with his laptop that he can quickly adapt settings to that country. Last year Kevin Cole, Nick Wheeler and I (et al.) wrote a command line tool, which thanks to Kevin Cole ended up in Python, called GIN (Gnome Instant Nationalization). The good news is that this code could be a prototype for what you are talking about. The bad news is that Locale is a very complicated matter in Gnome.

[Bug 1] Do we still live in telecommunications chains?
Greetings List Lurkers, I just tried to hook up and older gentleman with one of the charity systems we built from the state surplus stuff. The system boots Ubuntu 6.10 Dapper Drake. The verizon Westell DSL access modem comes up with three lights. The system gets an IP address and a web page comes up. Technically the system is cherry. Then a Verizon web page appears and tells me that it cannot support this operating system, and when I call their support desk, they tell me that I have to use a Windows client or a Mac client. I thought the Carphone case allowed me choice in my telecommunications options. Why would I want this company to be able to sell this crapy backwards technical system to Fairpoint? What can I do to help this old guy get online?

The question I have is where is the log stored for pilot-xfer, or is there an option to turn on debugging. I really want to know about the conversation between the palm pilot and the Ubuntu process pilot-xfer. With a casual look at things this did not jump out of a web or a man page at me. The very useful strace does not focus on the conversation. Note that I have high confidence in the lower ISO layers of my link. The reason is minicom. What I did was run the venerable minicom, unplugged the male rs232 cable, and while typing with one hand, shorted out pins 23. I knew then that I had data in my hand. A log of what pilot-xfer was doing out the serial port would help me a lot. Anyway, have fun in Spain. I will see you all in Boston.

[Bug 1] Feature that closes this bug...
Dear Mark, While you are indeed accurate in the positive statements mentioned on your blog recently as to how to solve bug #1, thanks to your (you and your brilliant teams :^) efforts, I discover that I have become more ignorant. This morning, I had to spend several minutes to discover the expansion of the acronyms WGA (Windows Genuine Advantage) and WGN (Windows Genuine Notification). When I researched these acronyms, what I found out about the end of personal privacy really scared me. I must attribute my ignorance of these insidious products to you (plural). It appears my ignorance is directly the result of running a single boot Ubuntu system for the last 2 years. I languish in this ignorance, and due to my lack of interest or need for proprietary systems that advantage themselves over their customers, it appears that my economic viability as a consultant is diminished. Simultaneously, I revel in my ignorance of operating systems incursion into my personal computer. Thanks for the ignorance! I suspect this feature of invasive operating systems on the part of the Micro$oft Corporation may be their contribution to the mitigation of bug #1.

[Bug 13797] Re: Does not fall back to next interface when kill switch is enabled?
Colin, You are absolutely right. My issue had to do with being old and rather dim and not seeing the demonic kill switch (hidden cleverly by the Certified for Microsoft XP sticker). Your issue is an interesting and legitimate bug. Anyway, anyone else wandering Malone who has trouble with T60 wireless operation is encouraged to read my previous, (and fauningly appologetic, deathless prose on the matter :^) Thanks again Colin for your guidance and...

[Bug 13797] Re: Does not fall back to next interface when kill switch is enabled?
I have a similar problem on the IBM T60 Laptop. Aparently the Levono company extended the function key control into the Windows environment. This is Ok until you want to switch video or if you turn off your wireless card. I am struggling to turn it back on. Anyone with any good ideas on this one please let me know.

I noticed that Daniel Carrera had the same damn problem as recently as
last year.
I am optionally attaching the output of the /etc/interfaces file...

# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

interfaces (END)
Note that eth0 (the one being used for ltsp is not mentioned. Is this on
purpose?
This is the current Edubuntu 6.06. I want to show this off at the NELS
conference Monday.
I suppose the question is why does this not run right out of the box?
It did in Breezy.
If you guys help me I promise to write a nice FAQ about using serial
mice...
HELP!!!
