[Bug 1029209] Re: tidy doesn't support html5 syntax

2017-03-02 Thread gwern
This is still an issue and an increasingly serious one; the packaged
version is now almost a decade out of date and missing major
functionality as many tools & websites have switched to HTML5. The
versioning is also unfortunate, as apt will keep trying to 'upgrade' to
the obsolete one. I have been using the .debs that tidy distributes
(latest: https://github.com/htacg/tidy-
html5/releases/download/5.4.0/tidy-5.4.0-64bit.deb ) and they have been
working great for me.

[Bug 1365844] Re: 0bda:8178 buggy driver rtl8192cu

2015-08-03 Thread gwern
I can confirm this is still a problem on 15.04:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:Ubuntu 15.04
Release:15.04
Codename:   vivid
Linux craft 3.19.0-26-generic #27-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 28 18:27:31 UTC 2015 
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Plugging in an EDIMAX EW-7811Un N150 USB 2.0 Wireless nano Adapter
using the rtl8192cu default driver leads to a working WiFi device which
will connect to open networks but then silently fail after a few seconds
or minutes. Following http://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes fixes the
issue 100% as far as I can tell so far.

(This was also the case for a Debian 8 Stretch install I tried it on,
and IIRC, I also tried out the dongle on a 4.2x kernel fork I was
compiling in order to get working ath10k/Atheros WiFi drivers and the
dongle did not work by default there, so I guess it's still an issue
upstream?)

[Bug 1186801] Re: liferea is completely invisible when running on xubuntu

2015-08-02 Thread gwern
I can confirm this is still present on a fresh install of vivid/15.04
with MATE  liferea package 1.10.12-1ubuntu1.

On initial launch, Liferea just seems to hang and in `strace` it is
stuck in a loop (`top` indicating 1% CPU usage) at

recvmsg(7, {msg_name(0)=NULL, 
msg_iov(1)=[{U\2;\1SP]\3\3\20\0\0\20\0\0\0\0\0\0\20\20\20\20\20\0\0\3\37\205\3\0\0,
 4096}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 32
recvmsg(7, 0x7ffd814d5550, 0)   = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily 
unavailable)
recvmsg(7, 0x7ffd814d5530, 0)   = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily 
unavailable)
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=5, events=POLLIN}, {fd=7, events=POLLIN}, 
{fd=16, events=POLLIN}], 4, 3654) = 1 ([{fd=7, revents=POLLIN}])
recvmsg(7, {msg_name(0)=NULL, 
msg_iov(1)=[{U\2;\1@R]\3\3\24\4\0\20\0\0\0\0\0\0\24\24\24\24\24\0\0\3\37B\2\0\0,
 4096}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 32
recvmsg(7, 0x7ffd814d5550, 0)   = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily 
unavailable)
recvmsg(7, 0x7ffd814d5530, 0)   = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily 
unavailable)


However, if forced to show using `liferea --mainwindow-state=shown`, then it 
appears. (Subsequent invocations also need `--mainwindow-state` as well, it 
seems.)

Your quote is pretty revealing; the code is *that* broken when it comes

[Bug 658413] Re: rdiff-backup crashes with compression error (inc_compressed)

2011-03-07 Thread gwern
After reinstalling a clean Ubuntu, creating a new user account, finding
that rdiff-backup works, reproducing the error on my account with dash,
and then perusing `env`, I think I finally found the problem.

My Bash config set the variable $PYTHONOPTIMIZE. If this variable is set
to any value, rdiff-backup crashes. (It seems to be the only Python
application I use which ever does that, which is why I couldn't figure
it out for so long.) Calling `unset PYTHONOPTIMIZE` fixes it. My
bisecting of my Bash config hadn't exposed it because apparently all my
test shells would inherit that variable from the login shell.

Phew! Now, I suppose the question is why rdiff-backup fails so
gracelessly. (Even if it ought to crash when that shell variable is
defined, the message ought to be a *little* more informative than that!)

A 'sudo apt-get remove --purge rdiff-backup' makes no difference.

[Bug 535305] [NEW] par2create should use more memory

2010-03-09 Thread gwern
Public bug reported:

The man page says:

   The  -m  option controls how much memory par2 uses. It defaults to 16
   MB unless you override it.

It doesn't say why one would want to control it, but a little
experimenting shows that this seems to be a space-time tradeoff. (Not
too surprising considering the algorithms involved.)

Given that par2create can take a very long time on gigabytes of data,
and given that 16MB is *really* small in 2010, when even cheapo netbooks
come with 1 or 2GB of RAM, and given that no one in their right mind
would be running par2create except on a reasonably powerful machine (so
several gigabytes of RAM), it seems to me that the default setting is a
tradeoff that made sense a decade or two ago but no longer, and should
be drastically increased. 128MB doesn't seem unreasonable to me. (Heck,
cellphones like the iPhone come with more RAM than that.)

[Bug 535309] [NEW] par2create ought to accept absolute amount of redundancy to create, as well as percentage

2010-03-09 Thread gwern
Public bug reported:

Currently, one uses -r to specify the % of the original to create; eg

 par2create -r5 foo.mpg

for 5% redundancy. But overhead and imprecise calculating of what
exactly percent one wants can mean that one goes overboard and makes too
much redundancy to fit on a CD/DVD/backup medium or makes too little
(frequently I waste a good 100MB on DVDs because I need to leave a fudge
factor; 100MB could've corrected a lot of errors).

Better would be if one could specify how many megabytes or kilobytes to
make, so if one has 4 gigs of data to protect, one could do something
like

   par2create -r200MB *

and wind up with the exact 4.2 gigs and no wasted space.

[Bug 535314] [NEW] par2 requires block number when adding additional redundancy; could figure it out for itself

2010-03-09 Thread gwern
Public bug reported:

From the man page:

 The -f option is used when you create additional recovery data.

   e.g. If you have already created 10% and want another 5% then you  migh
   use the following command:

 par2 create -s307200 -r5 -f300 test.mpg

   This  specifies  the  same block size (which is a requirement for addi‐
   tional recovery files), 5% recovery data, and a first block  number  of
   300.

Spelling of 'migh' aside, having to calculate the exact block number is
a hassle on the user. They need to find the last par2 file, calculate
the sum, and then specify it (and it's unclear whether the argument
should be the sum, or the sum+1; I still don't know).

If one is adding *additional* redundancy, then there must be existing
par2 files; why cannot par2 look for the existing ones and figure out
the next block number and appropriate parameters? It's quite mechanical
and tedious on the part of the user, especially if they've misguessed
the right percentage and need to add additional redundancy to multiple
directories of par2 files.

Description: powerful TeX format
 ConTeXt is a document-production system based, like LaTeX, on the TeX
 typesetting system.  Whereas LaTeX insulates the writer from
 typographical details, ConTeXt takes a complementary approach by
 providing structured interfaces for handling typography, including
 extensive support for colors, backgrounds, hyperlinks, presentations,
 figure-text integration, and conditional compilation.  It gives the
 user extensive control over formatting while making it easy to create
 new layouts and styles without learning the TeX macro language.
 ConTeXt's unified design averts the package clashes that can happen
 with LaTeX.
 .
 ConTeXt also integrates MetaFun, a superset of MetaPost and a powerful
 system for vector graphics.  MetaFun can be used as a stand-alone
 system to produce figures, but its strength lies in enhancing ConTeXt
 documents with accurate graphic elements.
 .
 ConTeXt allows the users to specify formatting commands in English,
 Dutch, German, French, or Italian, and to use different typesetting
 engines (PDFTeX, XeTeX, Aleph, and soon LuaTeX) without changing the
 user interface.  ConTeXt is developed rapidly, often in response to
 requests from the friendly user community.

Texexec should be able to handle spaces like every other application.
This trips me up nearly every time I use it, and forced me to use
workarounds to strip out spaces when Gitit calls texexec to make PDFs.

[Bug 510946] [NEW] texexec can't take a target output file

2010-01-21 Thread gwern
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: context

While adding PDF generation to Gitit, which shells out to texexec, I
wanted to have the generation run on a temporary *.tex file in a
temporary directory in /tmp. (Since apparently one cannot feed in the
context source on standard in and get the PDF on standard out, as would
be ideal.)

However, texexec insisted on generating ./foo.pdf from /tmp/random-
name/foo.tex! One might think that the --result option might fix this,
but turns out a command like 'texexec --result=/tmp/random-name/ /tmp
/random-name/foo.tex' only results in the creation of './random-name-
foo.tex'. This is not what I had expected when I had added the trailing
slash. Nor can one do a command like 'texexec /tmp/foo/bar.tex
/tmp/foo/bar.pdf', nor does there seem to be any other option to get
sane behavior - the PDF always goes in ./.

(I had to work around this by making gitit cd to the /tmp, and then cd
back. Very annoying.)

[Bug 502224] [NEW] findimagedupes should be parallelizable

2010-01-01 Thread gwern
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: findimagedupes

An excellent feature for findimagedupes would be hashing/analyzing
multiple images at once, in parallel. Each image can be analyzed
independently, and the file IO makes up a minuscule amount of the
runtime - the problem is embarrassingly parallel. Practically linear
speedups should be perfectly possible.

And the benefits are real: on large collections, the runtime can be many
minutes or hours. I have 4 cores which are generally not doing much; why
can't they all be used to cut the runtime by half or more?

I looked into running 4 findimagedupes concurrently and then using
--merge to bring together their results, but this is deeply hacky and I
worry about race-conditions and data consistency in the ultimate
fingerprint database; parallelism is something the application should be
handling internally.

Description: spaced repetition flash-card program
 The Mnemosyne software resembles a traditional flash-card program to help you
 memorise question/answer pairs, but with an important twist: it uses a
 sophisticated algorithm to schedule the best time for an item to come up for
 review. Difficult items that you tend to forget quickly will be scheduled more
 often, while Mnemosyne won't waste your time on things you remember well.

Bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug
Origin: Ubuntu

This should recommend or suggest the installation of the 'dvipng'
package; otherwise, one cannot make use of the TeX math formatting
features. (For normal use, one could perhaps never need it, so it
doesn't make sense as a dependency.)

[Bug 245371] Re: Microsoft Digital Media Pro Keyboard glitchy (Enter and Delete keys messed up)

2009-02-26 Thread gwern
I upgraded to Jaunty, and after dealing with 3 issues (nvidia driver was
uninstalled, which messed my graphics up for a long time; something in
.gconf/ made Gnome simply ignore my .gnomerc so I couldn't use any
window manager but Metacity - a big issue since I need keyboard-driven
WMs; and Nautilus failed because I had disabled showing the home folder
icons), I swapped in the questionable keyboard and rebooted.

The issue remained the same - pressing enter yield an enter and then a
backtick `. Still unusable.

I recently reinstalled with 8.10/Intrepid Ibex, using the official
stable CDs. (I messed up and got the i386 when I wanted x86_64, but oh
well.)

On receiving your question, I've hooked up the keyboard again (having
switched to a less glitchy one), and tried again.

Seems to work fine now.

 This bug can not be fixed, because it's no real bug in dir2ogg. It's
more or less a problem in mpg123.

So, what next, Julian? Should someone reassign this bug report to mpg123

I initially thought perhaps it was a python2.4 vs python2.5 issue, but
editing /usr/bin/mnemosyne to invoke 2.4 specifically didn't help.
Removing and reinstalling didn't help either.

What *did* help was

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:22440~dpkg -i 
python-pygame_1.7.1release-4.1ubuntu1_amd64.deb  [ 4:38PM]
dpkg - warning: downgrading python-pygame from 1.8.1release-0ubuntu1 to 
1.7.1release-4.1ubuntu1.
...

After which Mnemosyne opens up fine. I emailed the author while trying
to debug it, and he said if it was a pygame issue, I'd open an Ubuntu
report about this. Intrepid is still in alpha, I think, and there seems
to be some issue with pygame there. So I guess that means the issue is
not Mnemosyne's fault.

[Bug 272341] Re: dir2ogg produces sped-up OGG output

2008-09-21 Thread gwern
I tried the different decoders. Lame doesn't seem to be available;
mplayer results in a correct file; and mpg123 (the other option) results
in a similarly sped-up OGG file.

 BTW, do you have any permission to distribute the MP3 file? If not,
please remove it.

Obviously I don't. But I have no Freely licensed examples of the problem
and I would guess it's needed to solve this bug.

 Is this solution acceptable for you?

It's *better*, absolutely. If a bugfix which stops the speedup is not on
offer, I'll settle for a warning or error.

 BTW; it does not abort if the length changed, it only displays a
warning.

Hm. Is there any circumstance in which changing the length (and warping
all the music) isn't an error?

I have a particular MP3 file. It plays fine in MPlayer, so I believe it
is not corrupt or anything. When I run dir2ogg on it, with or without
--smart-mp3, it produces an OGG file which is roughly half the time
long; that is, it is sped up approximately 2x (if I play the resulting
OGG file and slow down to 0.51x, it sounds roughly right and seems to
contain the full song).

This is a double bug; dir2ogg is producing incorrect output, I think,
and it also isn't clearly warning about its failure. It both returns a 0
exitcode and produces no unusual warning output I haven't seen many
times before. Here is an example conversion:

FWIW guys, there's a very easy workaround.

Edit /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf, and where it says 'FromLineOverride=YES  #
optional', remove the comment. That's it.

It seems the 'config' script greps ssmtp.conf and does some exporting,
but the comment breaks the syntax.

And one can then wget or download through Firefox without a problem. It
would be a good thing if clive could be fixed to work with pages like
these and not falsely report that there is nothing to download.

[Bug 231099] Re: Dependencies are broken

2008-07-11 Thread gwern
Peter: I didn't want to be presumptuous, since it was possible that this
was deliberate (I know the situation with Cabal can be confusing,
sometimes it's included in GHC, sometimes it's not, sometimes it's not
but this leads to bugs later on, and so on).

Offhand, I don't think it's entirely redundant, as I think you're
supposed to be able to upgrade Cabal separately from GHC. I still have
GHC 6.8.2 from Ubuntu, but locally I have 4 or 5 Cabals of different
versions - this doesn't usually cause a problem like with the Bytestring
upgrades/diamond dependency problem.

So, after installing tor recently, I noticed I kept having to go sudo
/etc/init.d/tor start after a boot. I chalked it up to a
misconfiguration or error somewhere, and have put up with it for a
couple dozen reboots (I was busy with other problems) until I decided to
look into it this evening.

And it seems Tor isn't installed into any runlevel, at all, by default.
And nor can you can enable it via System-Administration-Services.

This seems suboptimal to me. It seems clear to me that: 
# there is no reason one shouldn't be able to enale/disable Tor via Services, 
so I think at a minimum that is warranted. 
# Even better, run Tor by default (runlevel 2 or 3). Why not? In the default 
client mode, it uses few resources. Running at boot gives it time to warm up 
and test a few circuits by the time a user could log in and begin browsing 
through it. It's convenient - if your applications use Tor (say, you've set 
that in Preferences in Firefox, or via $http_proxy or by aliasing stuff to use 
torify), they are going to use it every time, so there's no point in making it 
opt-in, etc.

[Bug 246316] [NEW] Shouldn't bug user when updates are impossible to get

2008-07-07 Thread gwern
Public bug reported:

So I was offline last night, and I noticed that the toolbar icon was
still there and bugging me - You have updates available! You have
updates available! I will keep taking up screen real estate until you
explicitly kill me?

But of course, being offline, there was no way I could update. 
Software-properties doesn't download the packages for later, of course. In 
fact, I can't think of a single situation where software-properties should be 
bugging me offline:
# The packages could've already been downloaded through apt-get upgrade -f. But 
then I obviously already know about the new packages and have explicitly 
refrained from installing them.
# Installation is from a CD. But how often are packages available from a CD? 
You install from disk, but then by definition you already have the latest 
packages it has to offer.
# ???

So: I would like software-properties to either automatically download
upgrade packages (but not install them, obviously), or to be quiet when
Internet access is not available (this is surely knowable - isn't one of
the default GNOME applets for network connectivity?).

So recently I began to try Ubuntu again. When I used the Hardy
Heron/8.04 64-bit desktop Live/Install CD, I noticed that a number of
key bindings were messed up.

The Delete key, for example, seems to have turned into some bizarre
character followed by many spaces; following is xev output:

[Bug 240563] [NEW] ghc-prof omits profiled library for GHC API

2008-06-16 Thread gwern
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ghc6

I have installed ghc6 and ghc6-prof on an updated Hardy Heron.

However, when I configure anything which uses the GHC API, or uses
something which eventually uses the GHC API, compilation fails because
no profiled GHC library is available. That is, there is no libHSghc_p.a,
although there is a libHSghc.a

So the failure looks like:

  Perhaps you haven't installed the profiling libraries for package

  Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.

The GHC API is used by a number of things (Yi, Haddock, eventually
Lambdabot, Hint, Mueval, and so on), and some of them I'd like to be
able to profile. It's an unfortunate omission.

(I understand that this would require a slight modification to the build
process of the original GHC, according to
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/GHC/As_a_library#Profiling .)

   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

[Bug 111278] Re: xpdf crashes when scrolling a potentially illegal PDF

2008-06-14 Thread gwern
I think I'm seeing a similar problem in Xpdf, using the same PDF I list
in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/240044 :

I scroll to page 5, and as I go to page 6, it crashes. Once it included a

[Bug 231099] Re: Dependencies are broken

2008-06-12 Thread gwern
This cabal package should probably just be updated entirely.  Cabal
1.1.3 is old, very old. To give you an idea, Hackage doesn't even have a
version that old (http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-
scripts/package/Cabal). So this package should be updated to 1.1.6,
1.2.1, 1.2.2.0, 1.2.3.0, and soon enough 1.4 will be released.

It's particularly important that we get up to 1.2 at least, since that
introduced the Flag configuration syntax which Haskell packages are
increasingly commonly using.

Well, I won't belabor the point anymore. mp32ogg just plain does not
seem to work. No real error message, it installed normally, the mp3
files are perfectly valid mp3 files, and I've tried all the permutations
of commands that seem sensible based on the man page.

[Bug 18661] Re: Temporary /tmp and /var/tmp

2008-05-30 Thread gwern
I actually ran into a situation where a ramfs /tmp would have been an
absolute life-saver. As it was, my experience was very unpleasant until
I managed to wipe and reinstall Ubuntu.

---

So I went and installed 8.04 on my desktop. It was fairly difficult as I
was using a CD-ROM drive which is ancient and generally unrecognized by
Linux livecds. But eventually with a little .iso and Grub hackery, I
managed to install onto the normal 3 partitions - /, /home, and swap.
And everything was good: I installed xmonad and zsh and basically got
everything back up to speed. And I was pleased with the strides Ubuntu
had made since I left it for Gentoo lo those many years ago.

And then 2 or 3 days ago, it rebooted while I was gone and got stuck.
Some sort of disk error (if you are curious what the error looked like,
see attached). And what does Ubuntu do by default when there are disk
errors? It mounts / read-only. Now, the disk was perfectly alright more
or less. I could still mount /home, / was still perfectly readable. The
disk errors were pesky, but I am convinced it was the fault of some
update (as those errors never manifested under Gentoo, but did on every
boot of the now-corrupted Ubuntu install).

The *real* kicker here was that I could not even run X or do anything
useful. Why? Because most big apps want to create stuff in /tmp, and
/tmp is by default in /, and / was now determinedly read-only. OK, so I
go to edit /etc/fstab. Whoops. It is read-only too! OK, so I go to
unmount / and mount rw. Except... yes, / cannot be unmounted because it
is busy! OK, so I go to use a livecd to edit fstab to remove this
fscking ro thing - and then the CD-ROM drive thing I mentioned bit me.

I ordered a new DVD drive from Newegg which was having a sale, and it
arrived today, and so I could reinstall. It has worked so far. (The disk
error did not manifest again, further convincing me one of the updates
was screwy.)

But the fundamental problem was that I was stuck in the console and
could hardly do anything because /tmp was on-disk. Very unpleasant.
