[Bug 1884295] Re: AttributeError: 'QWebEngineProfile' object has no attribute 'setUrlRequestInterceptor'

2020-10-07 Thread Roland Orre
How do I reach this new Fix?

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04, and my version of calibre is 4.99.4, and I still get 
this bug.
Do I need to add some specific repository?

[Bug 10910] Re: Default page size for printing is letter

I noticed that when I set 
print.postscript.paper.size = iso_a4
instead of A4, in about:config
I do no longer get the warning message from Gtk
(I noticed that there were a few other settings that used iso_a4)
I did work though but I don't like warning messages.

2011-01-27 Thread Roland Orre
My evolution doesn't crash but I get that exact error all the time. 
** (evolution:15208): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name !=

My .xsession-errors grows. In ten days I've got 9905 lines with that
error. OK, that's only 6% of currently 166812 lines (this is 9.10 Karmic
Koala). I find that most of the errors in .xsession-errors is from
JavaScript Console error:. Looks like the wrong place...

[Bug 519142] Re: CPU scaling not working correctly, ThinkPad T43, Ubuntu 9.10

2010-03-29 Thread Roland Orre
I can confirm this bug as well, I'm running Karmic Koala with 2.6.31-19-generic
on a Lenovo X61T 
vendor_id   : GenuineIntel
cpu family  : 6
model   : 15
model name  : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU L7500  @ 1.60GHz
My system config is 8 GB RAM and P256 SSD disk, noswap (OK, added a 0.5 GB 
RAM-swap...)

I had noticed that the machine had been very slow lately, occasionally
due to the lockup bug which locks the machine for a half or up to a
minute occasionally which seems to be present in 2.6.31 as well, it
seems to get better though when I stopped running Chrome which seems to
be a memory hog. Also there seem to be problem with the disk cache which
doesn't seem to be tunable. I definitely don't want it to use all my
memory for disk cache.

Anyway, now I tested the ondemand cpu scaling, and it doesn't work.  As
sotirovlyu also commented I've see it go up to 1.6 GHz now and then so I
haven't thought about it, but now I've seen that this is not at all load
related.

OK, for my own as I'm always running the machine on external battery, or
power adapter, so the compuer doesn't really know when to switch, this
doesn't bother me much as I now added another CPU applet to the panel.
Then I can scale each core up down, but it seems as GNOME has treated
the interface for this in a strange way.

Of course I don't want any authentification question now and then when 
changing, according this picture
http://i.imgur.com/OKQtq.png
I found a command which I believed was what GNOME uses /usr/bin/cpufreq-selector
and first added the %admin group to the sudoers file, didn't help. Then I added 
my own id, didn't help
then I found that the applet uses a separate configuration file
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.gnome.CPUFreqSelector.conf 
and first changed user=root to group=admin but the stupid thing then was 
that I didn't get the frequency selector menu any more. Then I added 
user=orre to the config file, and then got the frequency menu back, but now I 
still got that annoying authority question.

I finally though I found a working solution, 
sudo cpufreq-selector -c 0 -f 80
but that command is hanging, but now I finally have a working solution, I made 
a little sudo script
that can update the scaling like this
echo  /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_setspeed 120
echo  /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_setspeed 80

Now I intended to add this to /etc/acpi/events/battery
but that script is not called upon when I unplug the power. Shouldn't it?
and there is no possibility to run a script from the Power Management 
Preferences.
but I found a flag /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/AC/state 
I can write a cron script polling, to supervise my battery status.
I have the feeling that things are starting to get unnecessary complicated.

That works fine, and I'm pleased, but it seems as a lot of things could improve 
here...
So, it seems to be several things not working apart from the ondemand scaling:

* the command cpufreq-selector is hanging
* the frequency selection applet doesn't care about /etc/sudoers
* the /etc/acpi/events/ac is not called upon correctly
* the /etc/acpi/events/battery is not called upon correctly

PS: That RAM-swap was because I had seen somewhere that this could possibly 
help against the lockup problem (which possibly seems to be related to the disk 
cache which eats all available memory)
I put 8GB RAM into the machine just to be able to avoid swapping, which may not 
be suitable on an SSD.

[Bug 370505] Re: Call to undefined function get_gosa_version()

2010-02-09 Thread Roland Orre
So, now I've been struggling with LDAP too long. This gosa obviously doesn't 
work.
Is LDAP really completely unusable?
What administration tool should one use for LDAP really?
I'm in urgent need of a network authentification system, but nowhere I'm able 
to find
any kind of doc saying simply what to do.
The doc at 
http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html
wasn't really helpful as it stays at too low level.

It would be great if one could get hints about how to administrate the system 
already at the installation (e.g. in synapse), and how come that this gose 
system is not even possible to run?
OK, it's from universe so one shouldn't expect it to be tested.
Sorry if my comments were out of subject, but nowhere I can find a simple doc 
saying what simple network authentification system to use, and how to sync the 
info with shadow and passwd, and here I see that one month has passed, without 
further comments on how to fix the problem to make gose runnable.

[Bug 76876] Re: /dev/dsp busy, weird ESD process using it

2009-07-21 Thread Roland Orre
Intrepid 9.04 just upgraded from Hardy Heron 8.04 here. I haven't had sound 
problems for  a long while, apart from a little in the beginning with Hardy 
Heron, but that improved. For now I don't know what caused the problem, I had 
tried a little with realplayer11, anyway I got the typical of device /dev/dsp 
begin busy but no one using it. As in a previous report I did
lsof |grep /dev/snd

I tried to kill 7564, 8130, 7720 but for 7720 I had to do
kill -9 7720
then I could get the sound working, but then applications like vlc complained 
that they couldn't contact pulseaudio and /etc/init.d/pulseaudio start
doesn't help. I just started pulseaudio from the command line then and 
everything seems fine (how to start it right?).
Anyway, the same problem /dev/dsp being busy without lsof finding it seems to 
be the fundamental story.

[Bug 326570] [NEW] pstoedit missing separators in svg output

2009-02-07 Thread Roland Orre
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pstoedit

On some eps input files pstoedit generates svg output which gives
parsing errors.

In the attached example the file diagram.eps is converted to svg with the 
command
 /usr/bin/pstoedit -noclip -xshift -30 -yshift 200 -ndt -usebbfrominput -f 
plot-svg diagram.eps diagram-bug.svg

this file can not be included in e.g. inkscape or be parsed by e.g. seamonkey
seamonkey diagram-bug.svg
gives

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed

The problem is that there is no blank space before fill=
A workaround is to edit the generated output file

[Bug 321324] Re: The policy to mount system disk with UUID is bad

2009-01-26 Thread Roland Orre
I really don't agree with you. I have run Linux since 1996 and never
ever have the device nodes of the boot disk got any other numbers than
/dev/hda or /dev/sda

For the removable devices I do agree, but disks attached with IDE or
SATA are not considered to be removable, and certainly nothing you
normally boot from.

So, it seems to be time to head for another distribution then if you are that 
stubborn about this.
You could at least make it selectable in the installation. Now, it will be a 
real hassle for all beginners.
It is even said in the /boot/grub/menu.lst that you shouldn't edit, how helpful!

So, you really don't like the idea that you can have cloned disks which
are all bootable?

About the backup, of course I'm running rsync between my main disk and
my mirror.

[Bug 320871] Re: should use labels rather than UUIDs if they exist

2009-01-25 Thread Roland Orre
The current policy to use UUID instead of the good old devices is a
really bad idea.

1) Disk cloning is now a real hassle for beginners, as you have to edit
both /etc/fstab as well as /boot/grub/menu.lst to make the system sane
again.

2) To make backups of ones disk has the same problem. My way of backing
up my laptops is to have a perfect mirror, so if something happen I just
swap disks and boot from the backup.

3) I really don't see the point, only disadvantages with, having the
standard partitions mounted with UUID.

UUID is great for removable storage devices, but certainly not for the
system disk.

Please give us back the easy to handle devices in fstab and menu.lst!
Each time I install a new system now I have to manually edit /etc/fstab
and /boot/grub/menu.lst to remove these stupid UUID references. I'm also
running a course in Linux at the moment, and I would be glad if I could
tell the students a good reason for things to be in a certain way, but
UUID in fstab is just annoying.

[Bug 211687] Re: Remaining brightness issue on Thinkpad T61

2009-01-24 Thread Roland Orre
I'm running 2.6.24-21 (hardy heron and gnome) and I have a lot of
trouble with the brightness on my Lenovo X61 T.

The most annoying is that each time the screen saver is activated I have to 
manually increase the brightness.
If I do e.g.
xset dpms force off
and after that the screen light is half.

I often turn the screensaver off to avoid this (the dim option is
disabled in gnome power settings).

It is also very annoying with many video players.
As soon as I'm playing a video with e.g. vlc the backlight goes down to half. I 
have had the same problem with mplayer, but that seem to be resolved. xine is 
OK but gxine changes to half bright when going to full screen.

Further on I have no idea how to change the brightness with software, like 
having a cron script forcing the brightness up every 10 seconds... 
Those /sys/class/backlight/
and/sys/devices/virtual/backlight/
have no effect whatsoever. If I change the backlight, those doesn't change. If 
I try to 
write to them, the backlight doesn't change.
This is annoying.
I wish there an option somewhere, to set the backlight level to THIS level, and 
don't let any software touch it.

If I do acpi_listen

and the fn-End (brightness down key) gives

2008-03-31 Thread Roland Orre
I don't have any directory named /var/crash this seems be later than
dapper thing.
I can neither know what has caused the crash, as the crashes occur when I'm
not active, not looking, not doing anything in particular.

That's the reason I suspect that the API towards plugins is not robust.
I can try to test this behaviour on e.g. feisty which my media computer runs
and which has /var/crash (empty though) by creating a plugin that crashes.

Re: [Bug 184964] Re: Firefox API buggy, can cause crash in Firefox

2008-03-29 Thread Roland Orre
I think my original report has been misunderstood.
First, I can not tell plugin causes crashes, and it is not easily reproducible.
Sometimes firefox runs up to a week, frequenly used, sometimes I have to
restart it several times a day. Usually it crashes when I'm not using it.

A reasonable way to repeat this, could be to take some plugin, modify it
to e.g. address a nul pointer, so the plugin fails to 100 %.

If the API is working OK, firefox should let the faulty plugin die, but not
get affected in any other way.

The firefox I'm running most of the time is currently 1.5.0.13pre
(dapper LTS).

There may be other errors in firefox causing it to crash, to get rid of the
possibility to crash on failing plugins is a first step towards a
stable browser.

[Bug 47458] Re: [GPL GS WORKS] gs-esp in dapper (gs-esp_8.15) not working

2008-01-26 Thread Roland Orre
It showed to not really be a bug, just that default device was not x11,
it was bbox. This could be fixed by either
gs-esp -sDEVICE=x11
or
export GS_DEVICE=x11
but for convenience I preferred the following change in
/usr/share/gs-esp/8.15/lib/gs_init.ps

% Acquire environment variables.
%currentdict /DEVICE known not
% { (GS_DEVICE) getenv { /DEVICE exch def } if } if

/DEFAULTDEVICE (x11) def

currentdict /DEVICE known not
 { (GS_DEVICE) getenv {/DEVICE exch def }
  {/DEVICE DEFAULTDEVICE def } ifelse } if

[Bug 184964] Firefox API buggy, can cause crash in Firefox

2008-01-21 Thread Roland Orre
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

There seem to be a design flaw in the plugin API used by firefox (and
several other browers) as a plugin can cause firefox (konqueror and
other browsers using the same API as well) to crash.

I can't provide a reliable example on this, but crashes happen too often
when different types of plugins are used. The only reason I can see for
this behaviour is that the API is buggy, if it allows for crashes.

When a browser plugin dies of bad design, the browser should get a
notice about this, but definitely not crash.

Best regards
Roland Orre

Sorry, but the way the person named Angela Akridge describe this make you
sound more like a troll than anything else. I have used many different distros
on plenty of machines since 1996 using both lilo and grub but never ever
had the problem that  a windows or dos partition would be ignored or the
boot loader overwritten in the installation. On the other hand if you
first install
a linux distro and after that a window you get problems.
Anyway, what you describe has nothing with this hanging to do so the place
to write about this is not relevant.

About the actual bug, I start suspect that it could be a problem with  the
bios on the actual M2N8-VMX motherboard where I experienced the
hanging problem. After a kernel rebuild (to 2.6.20) the machine refused
to boot, and it entered the grub shell all the time. Then I rerun the
grub-install with the --force-lba option, and then it started smoothly.

2007-04-04 Thread Roland Orre
Apology to Angela Akridge, I claimed that the bug you described was not
relevant. Sorry for this, I noticed that you had described the same problem.

Anyway,  may  guess is simply that the --force-lba option may be needed
in some script, and in that case it could possible be experienced as a bug
even though it wouldn't really be a bug in grub but in the bios then...

Best regards

[Bug 10535] Re: GRUB hangs on please wait on ASUS K8V-SE Deluxe

2007-02-12 Thread Roland Orre
I have the same problem on an ASUS M2N8-VMX motherboard.
After installation I could reach the boot menu occasionally, but most of the 
times it hang on
GRUB loading, please wait
for a while, about 20 s, then it enters the grub shell, where it
occasionally worked with a reboot but most of the times not.
This problem was noticed with grub 0.97.
The installation CD (6.06) booted flawlessly (ok had to
add noapic usb-handoff to not hang later)

To fix the grub hanging I copied grub 0.95 from another
64-bit machine (running debian sarge)
/lib/grub/x86_64-pc/*
/sbin/grub*
and reinstalled grub, then it worked.
Strange, however, is that it still takes a very long time (about 20 s) from 
GRUB loading, please wait until I get the boot menu. On other machines where 
I'm running grub I get the boot menu immediately.

/Roland

Re: [Bug 23573] Re: openoffice.org2 creates pdf and ps files much bigger than oo1.1.3

2007-01-03 Thread Roland Orre
I can't see any such option either, it asks for things like lossless
compression
and such. Since I started using OOo2 I have never used the export to pdf
option
because of the ridiculus output size usually, I print to postscript and then
run
ps2pdf, then I get a reasonable size.

About this to include fonts I agree when it concerns more unusual fonts, but
standard fonts like Times-Roman, Helvetica, Courier etc I have hard to see
the usage for, and I have hard to understand that a couple of fonts would
take a couple of 100 Kbytes. One example, I just exported a simple 2 page
document with standard settings, containing two fonts and two small icons.
export pdf gives   244338 bytes
postcript print gives431774 bytes
ps2pdf on printed postscript file 47057 bytes
pdf2ps on exported pdf1048314 bytes

compressing (gzip) the ps2pdf file   42962 bytes
compressing   the postcript pr fil281536 bytes
compressing exported pdf   244338 bytes (no change)
This seems to imply that there is a lot of incompressable but redundant
information in the exported pdf file.

I have hard to see that this would not be considered a bug.
For some collegue who still uses OO 1.4 and runs export to pdf
frequently I recommend them to wait until this is resolved, or
alternatively use adobes pdf printer (included in the professional only).

The size I get from postscript printed and ps2pdf converted is slightly
bigger pdf files from OOo2, but just slightly more than 20 % or so,
i.e. a few KB, but not hundreds of K.

  Best regards
  Roland Orre

  I'd consider this bug report invalid.

 I don't see any such option on the PDF Options dialog that appears
 when using File-Export.  Where is this advanced export settings
 dialog?

2006-06-17 Thread Roland Orre
Sorry, I was a little slow... You have removed the updated cupsys package
from your directory, so I can't confirm that they fix the Phaser 8400 problem.

I checked that the available drivers in dapper release are still the original
ones, i.e.  cupsys_1.2.0-0ubuntu5_i386.deb

Can I find them at some other place?
