[Bug 1051167] Re: Windows lose focus in Lubuntu 12.04 and 12.10-beta

2012-09-20 Thread ozonehole
I am the original author of this bug report and I'd like to close it. I
have discovered that the cause is indeed package "scim" and not
"lubuntu-desktop." I suppose that I could redirect this bug to the scim
maintainers, but it seems that scim is being deprecated in favor of
ibus, which is what I'm now using. If the scim developers wish to pursue
this, that's fine, but it may not be necessary. I find that ibus works
quite well.

Thanks to the developers for all their efforts, and sorry if I wasted
anybody's time.

[Bug 1051167] [NEW] Windows lose focus in Lubuntu 12.04 and 12.10-beta

2012-09-14 Thread ozonehole
Public bug reported:

What happens is that a window that I'm working in loses focus. And I'm
seeing it only in Lubuntu. I've also got Enlightenment (package e17)
installed, and when I login to that the bug goes away. This is why I
think it might be the fault of package lubuntu-desktop, but I could be
wrong.

Let me give you a more detailed description of what I'm seeing. I can
open a terminal (usually lxterminal) and I'll be able to type in it just
fine. But then if I su to root (note I've set a root password) then
focus is gone. I can get it back by clicking on the top of the terminal
window, though I might have to click several times. This part of the bug
(su to root) happens very consistently, every time. But the bug is
bigger than that.

I can have the Chromium browser open, and Libreoffice on another
desktop. I look up something on the Google web site, I go to cut & paste
it into Libreoffice, suddenly my Libreoffice is dead, can't type and
clicking on menu items is unresponsive. I go back to Chromium - it's
dead too, can't type anything on the search line, menu items also
unresponsive. Now of course something like that will always happen if
another program is grabbing focus - for example, if Apport wants to
report something or you get a message that updates are available. But
this loss of focus happens just randomly, even when nothing has popped
up. When it happens, I can sometimes get it back by shutting down one of
the apps (let us say Libreoffice, and then Chromium back to life). But
sometimes not. I might have to close all the apps I have running and
restart them to regain focus. Very frustrating, of course, when you're
trying to get work done.

I have four computers at my disposal. All four have Lubuntu installed.
I'm seeing the problem on all four machines. One is an ASUS eeePC
(32-bit processor, of course) but the other three all have the 64-bit
version of Lubuntu installed. I have Lubuntu 12.10-beta-1 installed on
one of the machines, the rest are Lubuntu 12.10.

Like I said, if I log out of Lubuntu desktop and log back in with
Enlightenment, this issue disappears.

One possibility does occur to be, that maybe one of my installed apps is
grabbing focus, though it seems unlikely. I do a lot of translation work
and have the Chinese language packs installed along with package "scim"
as an input method. But even when I kill scim, I still see the problem.

OK, hope this helps. Please ask me any questions if you have them.

cheers,
Roberto

[Bug 1041407] Re: No indicator applets in lxpanel Lubuntu 12.10 iso-testing

2012-09-09 Thread ozonehole
I just installed Lubuntu 12.10-beta1 today (Sept 10) and wound up with
"No Indicators" on my menu bar. Note that I did indeed first do an "apt-
get update" and "apt-get upgrade" but still no joy. After finding this
bug report, I had success with:

apt-get install indicator-application-gtk2

So it wasn't installed by default. I guess it might be good to double-
check that this package will be getting installed by default from beta-2
onwards.

best regards,
Roberto

[Bug 613705] Re: English login broken if installation done in Chinese

2011-05-23 Thread ozonehole
Hi Gunnar,

I finished trying out the language selection (Ubuntu 11.04) from the
login screen yesterday at work.  This time English is available as an
language selection initially, even though the installation was done in
Chinese (TW), and one can pick the English used in a variety of
locations. Choosing English from the login screen successfully enters
one into an English desktop with English menus.  Logging in again and
choosing Chinese then successfully changes the desktop to a Chinese
environment. One can make the changes repeatedly from the login screen,
and it never fails.

So to sum up: Good news!

Dear Gunnar,

Thank you for your message. I did an 11.04 installation yesterday, but
in English. I will try one in Chinese soon and report back to you.
Hopefully, it's already fixed, but we'll see.

[Bug 311267] Re: Brasero fails to copy audio CD to HP dvd1070

2010-10-30 Thread ozonehole
Wow, looks like this bug report has been sitting here dormant for nearly
2 years.

Well, now I too have encountered this bug, in Ubuntu 10.10. However, I
have some insight into what's causing it, so perhaps it will now get
attention.

First off, the bug may be in cdrdao, but it also may be that a needed
driver is not getting loaded.

Here's my situation. I occasionally copy VCDs, which are multi-session
CDs. I haven't found any good GUI program for this (there used to be
called "Arson" but it's no longer in the Ubuntu repositories), so I do
my copying at the command line.

I have a notebook computer with an internal DVD drive, plus I've
connected an external USB DVD burner. The internal drive shows up as
/dev/sr0 and the external drive as /dev/sr2 (there is a /dev/sr2 which
is my wireless broadband modem).

I wrote a short shell script, which is as follows:

   ===

#!/bin/bash

cdrdao read-cd --device /dev/sr0 toctoc
cdrdao write --device /dev/sr2 toctoc
rm toctoc
eject /dev/sr0
eject /dev/sr2

   ===

I place the VCD in /dev/sr0, and unmount it (it must be unmounted or
cdrdao won't work). I then run the above shell script. I get this error
message:

   ERROR: Drive does not accept any cue sheet variant - please report.

Now here's the interesting thing. After some searching, I ran into this
thread:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=616843

The original poster found by accident that if he started and then closed
k3b, he could run cdrdao just fine and burn a multi-session without
error. I tried that, and it also worked.

I would guess that k3b is forcing some driver to load, though no idea
which one. Anyway, this workaround is good enough for now, but I hope
that the whole problem will get fixed.

It has occurred to me that maybe if I have my external drive turned on
at boot time, it will be detected and the correct driver loaded. Haven't
tried that though (and can't while I'm online typing this). Normally, I
leave the external DVD burner turned off and only turn it on when
needed. When I turn it on, Ubuntu evidently detects it and creates
/dev/sr2, but just maybe some driver is not getting loaded. I don't
know, but I trust the developers can figure it out.

best regards,
Robert

[Bug 665437] [NEW] locales not reconfigured in Ubuntu 10.10

2010-10-22 Thread ozonehole
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ibus

I'll start out by saying that I actually SOLVED this problem for myself,
but the solution is not obvious and this really ought to be fixed. And
the fix is probably easy.

I also need to say that I really don't know which package is to blame.
I'm going to blame Ibus, but that could be wrong, and I trust the
developers will track down which package is at fault. So, without
further ado...

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM:

OK, I want to install Chinese, and of course I need Chinese input so I
can type. I do this with the menus:

System --> Administration --> Language Support (Keyboard input method
system (Ibus first, later change to SCIM) / (Click "Use input method
engines IME to enter complex characters) (Click "Install/Remove
Languages) (Chinese Traditional & Simplified)

I install SCIM manually:

sudo apt-get install scim scim-modules-table scim-chewing scim-pinyin
scim-chinese

Log out and log back in. I have a nice keyboard icon in the taskbar. But
it doesn't work with either Ibus or SCIM. Ctrl-space should bring up a
Chinese input box, but it doesn't. I play around with all the controls
in the language settings and nothing works. Ibus doesn't work, SCIM
doesn't work. When I did all this in Ubuntu 10.04 is was easy, but in
10.10 it's broken.

THE SOLUTION:

Just on a hunch I decided to open a terminal and run:

  sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

And then all was well. Works as advertised.

That's great, but I never had to do this in 10.04. And I don't think
that most people would figure it out on their own. I only tried it after
a couple of days of looking online at various comments in the Ubuntu
forums. Someone mentioned reconfiguring locales when installing a new
language MANUALLY (not through the menus) so I thought I'd try that. The
poster wasn't even talking about the particular problem I was
experiencing.

So I hope it gets fixed.

Thank you for your time, I appreciate all the hard work that went into
producing Ubuntu, and I hate to complain about anything.

best regards.

 - Robert

[Bug 613705] [NEW] English login broken if installation done in Chinese

2010-08-04 Thread ozonehole
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: live-installer

I do a fresh install of Ubuntu in Chinese (TWN), do the updates, go to
Language Support, do the update there, and then install English from
there. I would expect then that the user could select English from the
login screen and have menus, etc., all come up in English. But that
isn't the case. The language selection at the bottom of the login screen
seems to have function at all. I can get English going by changing the
order of the listed languages in the list when I open the Language
Support, but then choosing Chinese at login causes the login to fail
(after a bit of blinking and stuff, one is back to the same login
screen). It seems to me that on 8.0 I didn't have this problem.

There is a workaround: install in English, then add Chinese language
support with these packages:

 language-support-zh
 language-pack-zh-hant-base
 xfonts-intl-chinese

Doing this eliminates the problem with language selection at log in.
However, it shouldn't be necessary to do this.

I am not 100% sure that the problem is being caused by package live-
installer-launcher. Possibly the issue is with debconf or a shell script
that runs debconf. My level of expertise isn't high enough to know, but
I have confidence that the developers will be able to track down the
problem.

Thank you and best regards.

[Bug 357731] [NEW] wvdial can't find USB wireless modem in 9.04-beta

2009-04-08 Thread ozonehole
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: wvdial

I'm having two problems with wvdial. The first not very serious (but is
annoying). However, the second problem a show-stopper.

1) The first problem (not serious) is that wvdial not included on the
Ubuntu 9.04-beta CD. Since I need it to connect to the Internet, I had
to take my laptop and go find a hard-wired network to install the wvdial
package. I hope the wvdial package will be on the CD when the final
release is issued.

2) The second problem really is a show-stopper bug for me. My sole
reliable connection to the Internet is with a USB wireless modem like
the one show in this photo:

http://sunnyi.en.ec21.com/Huawei_E172_HSUPA_HSDPA_Wireless--
3359043_3359054.html

In Ubuntu 8.04, I connect with wvdial using a customized
/etc/wvdial.conf file. It works fine. But with Ubuntu 9.04-beta, this is
what happens:


b...@dell:~> sudo wvdial
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
--> Sending: ATQ0
--> Re-Sending: ATZ
--> Modem not responding.

Below, you can see how well it works in Ubuntu 8.10:


b...@dell:~> sudo wvdial
[sudo] password for bob: 
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Cannot get information for serial port.

--> remote IP address 10.64.64.64
--> primary   DNS address 168.95.1.1
--> secondary DNS address 168.95.192.1

=

And here are the contents of my file /etc/wvdial.conf:

[Dialer Defaults]
Phone = *99#
APN = internet
Username = username
Password = password
Stupid Mode = 1
Dial Command = ATDT
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0

#Init1 = AT+CPIN=
Init2 = ATZ
Init3 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem



I'm not sure if the problem in Ubuntu 9.04-beta is actually the wvdial
package, or a kernel issue that has trouble finding the hardware. I hope
that you can solve this.

Thank you,
Robert Storey

[Bug 263876] Re: Transition xvidcap to libmp3lame instead of liblame

2008-12-18 Thread ozonehole
Is it fixed? I don't know, but I have the following problem with Ubuntu
8.10 (which I have fully updated with update-manager) when attempting to
run xvidcap:

I open a terminal window, type "xvidcap", the graphical menu and red
outline bar appear as expected. But when I click on the red button to
start recording, the program exits and this error message appears in the
terminal window:

   xtoffmpeg.c add_video_stream(): video codec not found

This may be a duplicate bug: 250054

That bug is also reported to be fixed, but clearly it is not.

best regards,
Robert

I'm having the same problem with a Dell Inspiron 1420N (that laptop that

[Bug 205589] [NEW] Min, Max & Close Icons broken in Hardy beta

2008-03-23 Thread ozonehole
Public bug reported:


In Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy (beta 1), running IceWM, I find that EVERY application I 
run has strange "Minimize, Maximize, Close" icons in the upper right-hand 
corner of the window. If my cursor passes over the icons, they turn black, or 
some strange combinations of colors/images. Just to make it clear what I'm 
talking about, I posted two screenshots of an Xterm window here:

http://cassandra-was-right.com/picture_library/ubuntu/icons1.png

   and

http://cassandra-was-right.com/picture_library/ubuntu/icons2.png

(I'll try sending these graphics as attachments, but included the above
links in case the attachments don't upload)

Note that the problem only appears with IceWM, and only with Ubuntu
8.04. Using Gnome or other lightweight managers (such as FVWM-Crystal)
does not show this problem. Nor does the problem exist with Ubuntu 7.10
or earlier versions that I've tested.

2007-10-10 Thread ozonehole
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 144113 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/144113

Very well, but I still suggest changing the menu item to "Print Jobs"
rather than "Manage Print Jobs". The latter might seem more clear to
you, but as a developer you know the system inside and out. Dumb users
like me are expecting to see the word "Print" before anything else. It's
a question of being intuitive. Apparently I'm not the only one who got
confused by the menus.

Not trying to be argumentative, just expressing my "gut level" feelings
about Gutsy's interface. Maybe you should poll a few fellow users and
see how they feel.

Gutsy looks like it's going to be a great release, by the way. Thanks
for all the hard work.

As an addendum to what I wrote just above, I think the menu item should
also be renamed. Less confusing (and also shorter) would be:

System-Administration-Print Jobs

This would have the added advantage of being in alphabetical order
("Print Jobs" would appear just above the "Printing" menu item).

The fix has been placed under "Applications-Accessories-Manage Print

closely related apps in separate menus is quite confusing. It confused

[Bug 151068] Gutsy-beta: manager-network-gnome dies

2007-10-09 Thread ozonehole
Public bug reported:

In Gutsy-beta, network manager starts out fine when I first boot up. It
detects my default wireless system and logs on. If I click on the
network manager icon, I can also see my neighbor's wireless network,
though of course I'm not logged on to those. This is all as it should
be.

But then after maybe an hour of use, my wireless network dies.
Furthermore, clicking on the network icon reveals that my network still
shows (though it's disconnected) but the neighbor's has disappeared
completely from the menu, as if it no longer existed.

Even worse is the procedure to recover from this error. No amount of
fooling around with the network manager can make it work. I've tried
logging out (as a user) and logging back in again, to no avail.
Rebooting the computer won't work either! All the time, I notice my
wireless network light blinking furiously (maybe it's searching for the
network?). In fact, the only way I can recover is to shut-down and
restart the machine. It would appear that the bug puts the wireless
device into such a state that it cannot recover unless it is physically
turned off.

Just to eliminate the possibility that this is an error with my
hardware, I switched the session from Gnome to IceWM, and later to FVWM-
crystal. I did this because when Gnome is not running, the Gnome network
manager will also not start automatically. Then, I installed and ran
another network manager utility called WICD, which does not require
Gnome. Connecting to the wireless network with WICD, everything works
fine. I can be only all day, without a hiccup. This indicates to me that
the problem is with network-manager-gnome and is therefore not hardware
related. However, if you'd like to know about my hardware, it's an
Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG (installed in a Dell Inspiron N
laptop). This wireless device is supported by the Linux kernel and is
not using Ndiswrapper.

[Bug 151064] Gutsy-beta: no way to cancel stopped jobs

2007-10-09 Thread ozonehole
Public bug reported:


When I start a print job that gets stopped for some reason (printer not turned 
on, out of paper, or maybe I just want to abort a job I started, whatever), 
there is no way to cancel it with system-config-printer.py. In Fiesty, this was 
dead easy - there was a dialog in Administration-Printing that allowed you to 
pause, resume or cancel jobs.

Maybe there is a dialog menu somewhere - I've looked and looked, and so
far can't find it. If it exists, it must be cleverly hidden.

The only way I've found to manage print jobs in Gutsy-beta is to open
Firefox, type http://localhost:631/jobs/ and manage it (through CUPS).
This is not intuitive, and I doubt that the majority of users would know
how to do this.

[Bug 145277] Wireless won't connect in Gutsy (Ubuntu 7.10)

2007-09-26 Thread ozonehole
Public bug reported:

I'm running Gutsy Tribe 5. The network manager applet doesn't show a
connection, and indeed, it won't connect. But oddly, it does detect my
wireless network (and my neighbor's as well) - it just refuses to
connect to it. No amount of clicking on the network will persuade it to
connect. I do not have an ESSID, this is an open unprotected network, so
there should be nothing to configure. With Feisty, it connects
automatically.

I have another network applet (not included with Ubuntu) called Wicd
(see wicd.sourceforge.net). I installed it in Gutsy and it works - I can
connect without a hitch. So I conclude that there is nothing wrong with
the wireless driver, and that the problem must be with the network-
manager-gnome applet.

My hardware - I have one of those Dell laptops that comes with Ubuntu
pre-installed (Dell Inspiron 1420 N). The wireless card is Intel
Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG.

2007-09-25 Thread ozonehole

I have one of the new Dells that comes with Ubuntu pre-installed. Runs
OK, but the live CD that came with it cannot boot. I always get to a
text-mode screen with this error message:

/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
(initramfs)

I know it's not a defective CD. I have another copy I downloaded - same
issue. Furthermore, I downloaded Linux Mint (latest version based on
Ubuntu 7.04) and get the same result. But I can boot other live CDs
(such as the latest Kanotix, which is Debian-based). I CAN install
Ubuntu if I use the "alternate install" CD - it's only the live CD that
won't boot.

I am not the only one having this problem. I searched the
linuxquestions.org forum, and came up with this:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=474493

I tried some of the suggestions on this forum, such as playing with the
BIOS settings to turn off AHCI on the SATA controller - this was not
successful.

Please get back to me if you need any more info about my hardware.

I do hope that the problem can be fixed before the release of 7.10.

[Bug 59386] using /dev/ttyUSB0 in gnome-ppp

2006-09-07 Thread ozonehole
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-ppp

I recently succeeded in getting Ubuntu to work with an external serial
modem attached to my computer through the USB port. However, this was
difficult to configure and I'm sure a newbie couldn't do it. Yet a
simple change to gnome-ppp would have made it easy. More details
below...

First, to describe my hardware: a notebook computer (IBM ThinkPad X31),
which has no serial ports but has USB ports. I purchased a special cable
which has a built-in adaptor, so that the USB port can be physically
connected to an external serial modem.

The problem is this: the character device required for this set-up to
work is /dev/ttyUSB0. Fortunately, this device does exist in Ubuntu, as
you can see:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/> ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0 
crw-rw 1 root dialout 188, 0 2006-09-07 09:36 /dev/ttyUSB0

The only trouble is that gnome-ppp does not recognize /dev/ttyUSB0. When
you try to configure it, you are only offered these choices:

   /dev/modem
   /dev/ttyS0
   /dev/ttyS1
   /dev/ttyS2
   /dev/ttyS3

There is in fact no /dev/modem - it is a symbolic link. For me to make
my hardware work, I had to create a symbolic link:

   ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/modem

After this, I could configure gnome-ppp to access my modem using
/dev/modem. So it worked - until I rebooted. Thanks to udev, every time
I rebooted my /dev/modem would disappear and I had to create it manually
again. To solve this problem, I created a start-up script (which I named
modem.sh) with this content:

   #! /bin/sh 
   #
   ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/modem

I placed the script in /etc/init.d and ran this command:

   update-rc.d modem.sh defaults

Now I am able to use my modem with gnome-ppp, so my problem is solved.
The only real issue is that all of the above would be nearly impossible
for a Linux newbie to figure out. It occurs to me that this complexity
would be rendered unnecessary if gnome-ppp simply offered /dev/ttyUSB0
as one of its choices. It is my suggestion that this should be done for
the next release.

best regards,
Robert

[Bug 56196] winmodem support

2006-08-12 Thread ozonehole
Public bug reported:

Perhaps this won't be considered a bug, but I think it should be. I've
experimented with various distros, and I've found that the internal
winmodem in my laptop (IBM X31 ThinkPad) "just works" with Kanotix. I
did not download and install any additional drivers - it was
automatically detected by Kanotix and the driver loaded.

Unfortunately, the winmodem does not work with Ubuntu, which surprises
me since Kanotix is also Debian-based. For me this is a big issue,
because I'm presently stuck on dial-up, and I cannot use an external
serial modem because my laptop lacks a serial port. I suppose a PCMCIA
modem would work, but I don't have one and they are no longer easy to
find.

I realize that winmodems are a headache for developers, but if it can
work on Kanotix, surely it could be made to work on Ubuntu. Perhaps the
following specs will be helpful - from the "lspci" command, my modem is
identified thus:

:00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM
(ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 01)

Kanotix mounts the modem as /dev/ttySL0

Thank you and best regards,
Robert

image'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu.
