[Bug 551624] [NEW] AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'makefile'

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: groundcontrol

When launching the Ground Control configuration tool, the window becomes
stuck while loading (the 'Apply' button is visible throughout the
loading process, quite confusingly). The following is sent to stdout:

[Bug 546101] [NEW] apport-cli does not shorten an URL when suggesting to copy it to another computer.

It would be nice if apport-cli shortened the URL automatically (if the
appropriate libraries are installed) so that users don't have three
liners of URL to copy into a browser on another computer.

The crash no longer happens under the same configuration since I
rebooted the system after applying the updates. Rebooting, indeed, was
required for the Me menu update to come in effect.

[Bug 498004] [NEW] System clock ticks more than thrice too fast

2009-12-17 Thread badpazzword
Public bug reported:

We have a virtual machine in VMWare running Ubuntu Server 9.10 and the
time seems to be ticking really fast:

$ sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com  sleep 5  sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com  
sleep 5  sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com
17 Dec 17:34:34 ntpdate[6703]: step time server 91.189.94.4 offset -1275.481127

17 Dec 17:34:35 ntpdate[6706]: step time server 91.189.94.4 offset -3.683792 sec
17 Dec 17:34:38 ntpdate[6708]: step time server 91.189.94.4 offset -3.552577 sec

If I did my math right, sleep 5 actually slept for roughly 1.5 seconds!
That's 3.3x faster than it should.

I got this again in a Xubuntu 8.0.4 live CD. I am pretty sure the

[Bug 272391] [NEW] Transmission can no longer be minimised to the tray

2008-09-20 Thread badpazzword
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: transmission-gtk

I find Intrepid's version of Transmission, 1.33-0ubuntu1, is inferior on
Hardy's in many aspects. This is the most glaring problem:

You can no longer reduce Transmission to the system tray. The window
needs to sit on the desktop. Closing the window stops the torrents. The
option in preferences has disappeared.

For a program designed to run in the background, this feels weird.

[Bug 271837] Re: [Intrepid] Policykit denies changes to cpu frequency and ultimately leads to distro update failure

2008-09-19 Thread badpazzword
It is of course fair to say that my overheating system isn't a software
bug.

However:

1. During the setup, the CPU governor was changed for whatever reason.
It was not changed to my Powersafe default, nor to Ubuntu's OnDemand
default, but to Performance. I concede I don't really know what did this
or why, nor it really is a big problem in itself. I could've changed it
back -- wasn't it for PolicyKit.

2. Attempts to fix this situtation were met with no or meaningless error
messages, some coming for Policykit itself. I hope you will concede that
uid 0 is not authorized to modify defaults for implicit authorization
for action org.freedesktop.policykit.modify-defaults (requires
org.freedesktop.policykit.modify-defaults) is a bit... strange error
message.

3. PolicyKit denied Root to edit settings. In
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit/0.7-2ubuntu4 it is noted
that Root /is/ supposed to have full access to Policykit since Hardy.
Change logs for following versions do not highlight changes in this
behavior.

I do believe PolicyKit did not behave as designed in this situation. I
also believe that many applications need to be changed to recognise
failures coming from PolicyKit policies. Feel free to extend this bug to
the other involved packages, I could not find any.

[Bug 271837] [NEW] [Intrepid] Policykit denies changes to cpu frequency and ultimately leads to distro update failure

2008-09-18 Thread badpazzword
Public bug reported:

While updating to Intrepid beta 6, Policykit decided to disregard my
GNOME default to always use the powersave CPU governor and went
Performance instead. It took me a decent numbers of step to get near to
solving this, but as I had foreseen my laptop overheated and died in the
middle of the update.

While I raced against the overheating CPU, error messages were mainly
unhelpful in troubleshooting the issue.

My first attempt was to use the cpu frequency selector panel tool. It
simply failed silently. Then I tried again, and again, and then some
more. Then I whipped up the console.

apropos cpu showed up the commandline cpufreq-selector, which I tried.

 badp:~$ cpufreq-selector -g powersave
 Error calling SetGovernor: Failed to execute program 
 /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper: Success

This error message would made a worthy entry to TheDailyWTF.com's
Error'ed series, but nevermind that.

I tried to manually set the frequency using the other option:

badp:~$ cpufreq-selector 798
Failed to acquire org.gnome.CPUFreqSelector: Connection :1.1673 is not 
allowed to own the service org.gnome.CPUFreqSelector due to security policies 
in the configuration file

I rush to the PolicyKit graphical interface, reach
org.gnome.CPUFreqSelector and try to allow any user to change it.
Clicking on the Modify... button, though, is a no-op. Nothing happens.
Not an error message, nothing. Again, I get back to my shell, and after
some apropos'ing I try:

badp:~$ polkit-action --set-defaults-any org.gnome.cpufreqselector yes
polkit-set-default-helper: needs to be setuid polkituser
Error: code=8: NotAuthorizedToModifyDefaults: uid 1000 is not authorized to 
modify defaults for implicit authorization for action org.gnome.cpufreqselector 
(requires org.freedesktop.policykit.modify-defaults)

badp:~$ sudo polkit-action --set-defaults-any 
org.freedesktop.policykit.modify-defaults auth_self

Error: code=8: NotAuthorizedToModifyDefaults: uid 0 is not authorized to modify 
defaults for implicit authorization for action 
org.freedesktop.policykit.modify-defaults (requires 
org.freedesktop.policykit.modify-defaults)

While I try to decode the needs to be setuid polkituser line, the
computer dies for overheat. Right in the middle of a distro update.

I can now choose between the 2.7 kernel with the blinking caps lock led
of death, the old 2.5 kernels which shows helpful information about the
mount command syntax but fails to boot, and Windows XP which I'm using
to file this bug. I guess the only solution now is a full reinstall.

org.freedesktop.policykit.modify-defaults)
  
  While I try to decode the needs to be setuid polkituser line, the
  computer dies for overheat. Right in the middle of a distro update.
  
  I can now choose between the 2.7 kernel with the blinking caps lock led
  of death, the old 2.5 kernels which shows helpful information about the
  mount command syntax but fails to boot, and Windows XP which I'm using
  to file this bug. I guess the only solution now is a full reinstall.
+ 
+ EDIT: I would like to add that powersave was set as the default cpu
+ governor by using the GNOME Configuration Editor tool. Why did PolicyKit
+ decide all of a sudden that all of a member of the admin group, root AND
+ the default settings were wrong?

[Bug 189653] Re: [Hardy] Network Settings silently crashes when saving location

2008-03-20 Thread badpazzword
Would testing that in Wubi work too? I have no CDs or DVDs to burn to at
the moment.

[Bug 180881] Re: Fonts in the GNOME login screen are disproportionately big

2008-02-08 Thread badpazzword
I was forced today to install Ubuntu 7.04 over my previous installation.
This fixed the issue even after updating back to 7.10; my guess is the
install media must have been corrupt.

** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu)
   Status: New = Invalid
