Bug#928987: compiz: make a compiz-boxmenu package

[Giacomo Boffi]

Dear Samuel,
here it is my attempt for a "Description" field for compiz-boxmenu

**************72
Description: dbus daemon and clients providing pop-up menus to compiz.
 Boxmenu provides a number of different menus to the compositing window
 manager Compiz and possibly to other window managers as well.
 .
 It is composed of a daemon that caches the different menus from various
 sources, following desktop standards and a number of clients to ask
 the daemon for a specific type of menu, clients that can be bound to
 different key-chords and mouse events using the Compizconfig Settings
 Manager.
 .
 The components are compiz-boxmenu, compiz-boxmenu-editor, a menu editor
 and compiz-boxmenu-{daemon,dlist,dplist,vplist,wlist}, where the
 specialized clients are respectively for recent documents, desktops,
 editing the menus, viewports and windows.
**************==

Note:  I wrote "following desktop standards" but mine is simply wishful
thinking,
so please check that my statement is correct.

In the hope that this helps, ciao ፨ gb

Is this still happening with the current version (2:0.8.16)?

Bug#899213: compiz: sistematically places new windows below existing ones

[Giacomo Boffi]

Dear Alex,
I've checked and my settings are exactly
- Placement Mode: Smart
- Multi Output Mode: Use active output device

To have a trace of the window placement, I have started my system with
the following ~/.xsession file

#!/bin/bash
xset m 5 3
# fbsetroot -gradient vertical -fg red4 -bg orangered3
xterm & sleep 0.2
xmodmap .compose
compiz &
# cairo-dock -w 3 -o > /dev/null 2>&1 &
exec my_sleep 365d

and, from the xterm that was started from .xsession I started a number
of xterminals of different background color, then I made a screen dump
of the current situation --- please find in attachment a compressed
version of the screen dump.

As you can see, the problem is (mostly?) the pre-existing window,
i.e., the original xterm that covers part of some of the new windows
(e.g., the black one is completely under the 1st xterm)

Thank you for your intervention ፨ g

and on Cinnamon, Gnome, LXDE, XFCE etc etc Firefox is available as well.

The Debian Menu System predates and it is indipendent from the XDG menu system
that these desktop environments rely upon, and is supported by most of
the packages
in Debian, e.g., by Google's Chrome

$ dpkg -L google-chrome-stable | grep menu
/usr/share/menu
/usr/share/menu/google-chrome.menu
$ cat /usr/share/menu/google-chrome.menu
?package(google-chrome-stable):
  needs="x11"
  section="Applications/Network/Web Browsing"
  hints="Web browsers"
  title="Google Chrome"
  icon="/opt/google/chrome/product_logo_32.xpm"
  command="/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome"
$

 but not from the Firefox team...

$ dpkg -L firefox | grep menu
$

all you need is

 1. put the file "firefox.menu" inside "/usr/share/menu", the file's
content should be obvious by comparison with Chrome's
 2. call update-menus in the pre and post install scripts, as specified in
https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/menu.html/ch4.html

Bug#844568: jack: complains about missing dependency and dies

[Giacomo Boffi]

Package: jack
Version: 3.1.1+cvs20050801-29.1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

/usr/bin/jack imports * from jack_globals,
jack_globals imports eyeD3 from jack_init.
jack_init imports eyeD3 from eyeD3

at this point, an exception is raised because the API exposed
by the python-eyed3 has changed

1. the module is named eyed3 and not eyeD3
2. no eyeD3/eyed3 name is exported by eyed3

jack_init catches this exception, prints

Please install the eyeD3 module available from http://eyed3.nicfit.net/

calls sys.exit(1) and jack dies.

For the record, the module published at http://eyed3.nicfit.net is the module
distributed by debian.  It seems that jack needs an older version of the
eyed3 module.

Regards,
   gb

Bug#824471: context: luatex finds an undefined control sequence in conf file

[Giacomo Boffi]

Package: context
Version: 2015.05.18.20150601-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I was installing context and apt-get printed

> Setting up context (2015.05.18.20150601-2) ...
> Running mtxrun --generate. This may take some time... done.
> Pregenerating ConTeXt MarkIV format. This may take some time...

It took a while, so I started another activity and, a few hours later,
when I came back to the terminal running apt-get, I still read

> Pregenerating ConTeXt MarkIV format. This may take some time...

some time is ok, a few hours is too much so I looked for the process
that was running forever and I found  it was

  luatex --ini --lua=/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/luat-cod.lua
/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-en.mkiv dump

I killed it, and the installation continued and ended, with message

> W: Operation was interrupted before it could finish

I tried to run the command I've killed from the admin prompt

% luatex --ini --lua=/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/luat-cod.lua
/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-en.mkiv dump
This is LuaTeX, Version 0.95.0 (TeX Live 2016/Debian)  (INITEX)

and I had to kill also this process too...

Thank you in advance

Bug#805471: /usr/bin/optirun: optirun fails with "systemd-logind: failed to get session"

[Giacomo Boffi]

Oh well... they stole my previous notebook, the one NVIDIA equipped —
I would like to ask the burglar about xserver-xorg-legacy, and maybe
another couple of questions, but I had no chances for that.
I can tell you that after a while TORCS^H^H^H^H^Hbumblebee returned to
work perfectly for me.  I think it was some regression due to the
introduction of systemd that went away as the environment matured.
Thanks a lot for your interest, ciao

Bug#817903: network-manager: doesn't recognize WPA* Enterprise private key file with .p12 extension

[Giacomo Boffi]

Package: network-manager
Version: 1.1.91-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I want to configure a wireless connection provided by
my institution --- meaning that I have no degrees of freedom
in what I have to do to complete the procedure.

That said, the institution gives me two files, a CA certificate

  ca.pem

and a private key file with an associated private key

  wifiCert.p12

I had placed those files in a generic subfolder (~/Documents/.certificates)
and then I tried to configure the connection using Network Manager.

I access the Network Connections window, I Add a new (wireless)
connection, in the Editing New Connection window I access the Wi-Fi
Security tab, select WPA & WPA2 Enterprise from the Security menu, I use
the CA Certificate menu to access the ~/Documents/.certificates folder,
I'm shown the ca.pem file, I select it and proceed, using the Private key
menu, I access ~/Documents/.certificates, at the bottom I see the list of 
correct file extensions (comprising the .p12 extension!) but the file
wifiCert.p12 is not shown (no file at all is shown as selectable).

At his point I cannot complete the configuration.

I have to mention that this is a new laptop (my previuos laptop
has been stolen) and that on my previous laptop I configured the same
wireless network w/o any problem. Previous laptop, btw, was running sid as well.

thank you in advance,
  gb

Bug#805471: /usr/bin/optirun: optirun fails with "systemd-logind: failed to get session"

[Giacomo Boffi]

Luca Boccassi wrote:

> Could you please try to change to KernelDriver=nvidia and restart?

so I did, but nothing changed...

I forgot to mention that when I use optirun the nvidia
module is loaded and the discrete card is turned on, as testified by
/proc/acpi/bbswitch
and also by the temperature of the exausts of my pc... and this was
true even when i had
KernelDriver=nvidia-current in bumblebee.conf. To switch off the card
I have to rmmod
the nvidia module.

With  respect to the PID that "does not belong to any known session",
it is the same across
different invocation of optirun, even from different shells, and if I
try the command

sudo ps x | grep 

I cannot see such a process on my system.

I even tried to see if the PID remains the same if I log out from my
session and try to
run optirun from a new session, but it seems that gdm locks itself
when it's run a second
time so I cannot confirm this suspicion of mine

Bug#779734: doc-central: no docs at all!

[giacomo boffi]

Package: doc-central
Version: 1.8.3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

when I start doc-central from the command line,

$ doccentral

a new tab is opened in google chrome or in firefox, depending on my current
settings, containing two frames, in species on the left I see a menu and on the
right a welcome text.

When I select a menu item in the left frame by clicking on it, in the other
frame appear a formatted list of document descriptions, each one with a link,
e.g., http://boffi-onderod/doc/doc-base/doc-base.html/index.html;.

If I select a link in one of these descriptions by clicking on it, an error is
raised and the following text appears instead of the linked document.

 Not Found

 The requested URL /doc/doc-base/doc-base.html/index.html was not found on
this server.

 Apache/2.4.10 (Debian) Server at boffi-onderod Port 80

I have experienced the same behaviour/error for ALL the links I had the
opportunity to try, and I daresay that doc-central is no more working from me.

I'd like to help in fixing this problem so

as you can imagine, this is not what I expected... btw the same behaviour is

in a xterm, but pyspread didn't start and the python interpreter produced
the following backtrace in the terminal emulator:

02:25:53 PM: Debug: Failed to connect to session manager: SESSION_MANAGER

This behaviour makes pyspread completely unsuitable for my purposes.

Is it possible that a desktop environment is REQUIRED to run the program?

Thank you in advance,

Bug#755492: xfig: segfaults when drawing dashed-dotted lines

[giacomo boffi]

Package: xfig
Version: 1:3.2.5.c-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I'd like to draw dashed-dotted lines but xfig consistently crashes whenever

 1. I try to draw such a line using a polyline
 2. I edit a previously drawn polyline, changing the line type to dashed-dotted

Moreover, all 3 types of dashed-dotted lines crash xfig and everything
where I can change the line type crashes xfig if i draw with or change to
a dashed-dotted line type.

Moreover, I have another system with sid and also on this system xfig crashes
when I try to use d-d lines


*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

Bug#668339: gnuplot: cairolatex driver doesn't honor monochrome keyword

[giacomo boffi]

Package: gnuplot
Version: 4.6.0-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

the following interactive steps

$ gnuplot
gnuplot set term cairolatex mono dash standalone pdf
Terminal type set to 'cairolatex'
Options are ' pdf standalone noheader blacktext nobackground fontscale 0.6 
monochrome dashed size 5.00in, 3.00in '
gnuplot set output 'test1.tex'
gnuplot plot sin(x), cos(x)
gnuplot exit
$ pdflatex test1
[...]
$ evince test1.pdf

lead me to a nice plot with a RED continuous line for the sine and an
ALMOST INVISIBLE GREEN line for the cosine

on the other hand the underlying pdfcairo driver honors the mono kw,
so that it seems an upstream fix should be easy

thank you for your attention,
gb

Bug#645596: inkscape: high CPU usage on startup

[giacomo boffi]

Package: inkscape
Version: 0.48.1-2.1+b1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

the time elapsed from command line invocation to inkscape posting its
main window is over 2'30 on my 2.60GHz dual core system

during this time htop shows a constant CPU usage of 100% on one of the
cores

here i have xserver-xorg-core version 2:1.11.1-1, but i have
experienced exactly the same problem on my home computer, with version
10 of the X server

just to mention, activity in the inkscape window leads to huge spikes
in CPU usage but the program is, on the whole, responsive to input and
usable after its looong and HEAVY initialization

thank you,
gb

Bug#627093: package tex-gyre is ok, it's me...

[Giacomo Boffi]

in the last lines of the pdflatex output there was a reference to a
pdftex configuration file deep in a cache in a hidden directory
(~/.texmf-var/) in my $HOME...

the time stamp on that file was paleolitical (is it a remain from
tetex age), so i removed the whole stuff and bingo, i can use all the
tex gyre fonts

very sorry about being noisy (and a bit nasty too),

ciao

  Could you remove these map files from your homedir (all files/dirs
  bewlo map), then run updmap-sys and try again?

i did more, i removed all the ~/.texmf* directories (all time-stamps
were really old...) and all is fine again

sorry for the noise,

Bug#611339: screenlets: doesn't depend on python-gnomekeyring (just recommends)

[giacomo boffi]

Package: screenlets
Version: 0.1.2-7
Severity: important


if i try to start screenlets-daemon rom the cli, it fails 'cs
gnomekeyring is nowhere to be found

python module gnomekeyring is provided by python-gnomekeyring, that is
simply in the list of recommended package

please either include python-gnomekeyring in the list of packages
screenets depends on or conditionalize the usage of gnomekeyring in 

  /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/screenlets/options.py

gnomekeyring is used in options.py to define a class, AccountOption,
that is imported BUT NOT USED in 

/usr/share/screenlets/AppMenu/AppMenuScreenlet.py:1
/usr/share/screenlets/FeedReader/FeedReaderScreenlet.py:1
/usr/share/screenlets/Kclock/KclockScreenlet.py:1
/usr/share/screenlets/Mount/MountScreenlet.py:1
/usr/share/screenlets/Places/PlacesScreenlet.py:1

(:1 and :2, :3 in the following is from the output of a grep -c)

AccountOption is used in the example and test screenlets

/usr/share/screenlets/Example/ExampleScreenlet.py:2
/usr/share/screenlets/Test/TestScreenlet.py:2

and find a fully legitimate usage in the following screenlets

/usr/share/screenlets/Gmail/GmailScreenlet.py:2
/usr/share/screenlets/MailCheck/MailCheckScreenlet.py:3

(that i don't use)

thank you in advance

Bug#584857: /usr/bin/tightvncserver: image selections are partially black

[giacomo boffi]

Package: tightvncserver
Version: 1.3.9-6.1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/tightvncserver


i use tightvncserver -depth 16 -geometry 1024x768 on my office debian system
and then i connect from home using a vnc client from an old ibook

yesterday, using djview4, that permits to save a selection done with
the middle mouse button either to the clipboard or to a graphic file,
i noticed that when the area i select is large part of the selection
is black filled, as i tried to express in the ascii art below

--- ---
-   o - -XXXo -
-ooo   o o- -XXX ooo   o o-
-   o   o o   - -- -XXXo   o o   -
-  o o- -XXX o-
- o   - -XXX  -
-o- -X-
--- ---

this behaviour is noticed in both cases, save to clipboard and save to
file, and for all the graphic formats i tested

today i was going to report a bug against djview4, when i tried again
the procedure on the local display and everything was fine

is this a bug of tightvncserver?  should this be a documented
restriction of the software, please be indulgent...

ciao, thank you for all

Bug#551186: iceweasel: quits when there's only 1 tab and i hit close tab shortcut (^W)

[giacomo boffi]

Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.5.3-2
Severity: normal


i don't know if the change was deliberate or it is simply a regression...

in any case recent package reverted to a very old behavior, that was
corrected years ago, namely iceweasel now quits when there's only 1 tab
and i hit the close tab shortcut (^W)

1. closing the last or only window imho could close the application
   or ask for confirmation

2. a tab being a subwindow, closing even the last tab shouldn't close the
   parent window, in particular if that equals to closing the application

to summarize: i keep hitting ^W to close tabs to inadvertently quit iceweasel,
and i'm a little upset from the new behavior...

thanks,
gb

Bug#548862: svgatextmode: doesn't support newer nvidia cards

[giacomo boffi]

Package: svgatextmode
Version: 1.9-21
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

when i try to use the stm binary, i get what
follows (i appended also the output of the lspci command)

% sudo stm
Chipset = `RIVA128', Textmode clock = 28.30 MHz, 80x25 chars, CharCell = 9x16. 
Refresh = 31.44kHz/70.0Hz.

% lspci -m | grep -i geforce
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller nVidia Corporation G96 [GeForce 9400 
GT] -ra1 Elitegroup Computer Systems Device 10b7
% 

afaik, a relevant portion of new hardware systems on which
debian is going to be installed include one of the new video
chips from nVidia, and the lack of support for these chips
is fatal to the usability of this package on many new systems

  right.  i suspect that the problem is not in the compiz binary but
  one the libraries or plugins shipped in compiz (most likely
  libcompizconfig, which is linked to by both compiz.real and ccsm)

right.

 what window manager are you using?  it could be that the problem only
 asserts itself in non-gnome installations.
   
   compiz, isnt't it a window manager? in alternative to compiz i use
   {,v}twm --- i cannot say that i have no gnome on my pc, but i'd prefer
   not to
   
   that said, if all else fails, i can install compiz, with all of its
   gnome dependencies
  
  sorry, i kinda blurred what i meant: s/window manager/desktop
  environment/.

no desktop environments here, only a plain window manager + screenlets

  in other words, what do you choose when you log in on your system
  before you start compiz?  are you starting vtwm and then compiz via
  an .xinitrc, or...?

i start either compiz or vtwm (or twm, or gwm, etc) from the console
command line, using a set of aliases that expand to something like

% startx ~/.xsession.windowmanager  .xsession.errors 21 

   | #10 0xb65c055d in ?? () from /usr/lib/libcompizconfig.so.0
  
  okay, so the first relevant stack frame seems to come from
  libcompizconfig.  i'll see about providing a debug version of this
  library.  it might also be helpful to get a copy of the actual core
  file, though there are privacy implications as environment
  variables and memory contents might be stored in this file so you
  probably shouldn't post it publically.  do you think you could
  privately email me a copy of one of them?

Sean, i don't know if this is relevant, but i have not a
~/.config/compiz/ directory (erased by error), is it possible that
libcompizconfig chokes on that? but then, it is the case of each new
user, isn't it?

ciao

  round two :)

first of all, i have to ask if you have seen my bug report against
ccsm

also ccsm dumps core on me, with the same error message, and if i hand
start compiz.real without invoking the configuration plugin, compiz
starts ok (but it doesn't do anything valuable thereafter)

now, it's time to answer your questions...

compiz, isnt't it a window manager? in alternative to compiz i use

not to

that said, if all else fails, i can install compiz, with all of its

  one last question.  when you get the error:

what():  basic_string::_S_construct NULL not valid
  
  is it followed by an abort?

yes

   echo bt | gdb /usr/bin/compiz.real core
  
  it may be the case that we will need debugging symbols available to read

  hi giacomo,
  
  i can't reproduce this problem (and i'm also running 2.6.29/amd64).

i'm running an AMD cpu, but debian's architecture is i386

  are you sure you don't have a compiz component installed from source,
  a non-standard library installed or perhaps something from experimental?

i don't know

if something goes wrong in its attempt to start compiz.real

manager, --restart, option on which xterm chokes and dies

Bug#531800: compiz-core: /usr/bin/compiz uses the ccp plugin, that is broken

[giacomo boffi]

Package: compiz-core
Version: 0.8.2-6
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

at the end of its grinding, the /usr/bin/compiz script tries
to execute this command
--
/usr/bin/compiz.real --ignore-desktop-hints --replace --loose-binding core ccp
--
but compiz.real dies with the error message
--
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'

--
a similar error message is displayed when i try to execute ccsm

if i launch compiz.real directly, without the ccp plugin, compiz starts but
cannot read its configuration and is mostly useles

my best regards

should i report a bug against python-compizconfig?

Bug#518150: [Python-modules-team] Bug#518150: python-matplotlib-doc: matplotlib 'user_interfaces' wx examples don't work

[Giacomo Boffi]

i understand that from wx import * should work, but it seems that
it's not going to work anytime soon


with wx2.8 it works as expected.


good


Anyhow, I don't plan an upload to just fix these examples, so this bug
will be fixed when upstream will release a new version.


that's ok for me

about --- from wx import * ---

  Mh, there is no reasons why from module import * should not work,
  and indeed there is a bug already reported about it: #488532

i have googled around, it seems that this problem was repeatedly
reported to distributions and upstream, but never resolved

the usual upstream reply is sort of

  from * import * is bad practice anyway,
  please do import wx


 about --- import wx.aui ---

  This is because the default python wrapper on your machine is v2.6, on
  2.8 that module is present:

i had both the 2.6 and the 2.8 wrappers, both automatically installed,
and apparently python finds first the older one

after i removed 2.6 and its reverse dependencies, the example file n.5
works OK, python finding the wx.aui module

in summary, i think that my bug is upstream, either in wxpython or in
matplotlib

i understand that from wx import * should work, but it seems that
it's not going to work anytime soon

may i suggest that you, speaking as the debian mantainer, could report
to matplotlib developers the opportunity of modifying all the wx
examples that do the wrong thing when importing wx? they are

user_interfaces/embedding_in_wx2.py
user_interfaces/embedding_in_wx2.py
user_interfaces/embedding_in_wx2.py
animation/dynamic_image_wxagg2.py

import wx in wx applications

Bug#501661: patch for zxpdf to look for compressed files

[giacomo boffi]

Package: xpdf-reader
Version: 3.02-1.4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch


using texdoctk, sometimes vieving a pdf document fails because the
document is indexed in texdoctk database with the name
/long/path/document.pdf, while on the file system there is a
compressed version of the document, say /long/path/document.pdf.gz

i have found a solution to this problem, configuring texdoctk so that
it uses zxpdf to open pdf's, and modifying zxpdf to look for a
possibly compressed file

of course you could consider also merging /usr/bin/xpfd and
/usr/bin/zxpdf, so that a mere xpdf /long/path/document.pdf could do
the right thing in (almost) every circumstance

thank you
gb

Bug#497696: xserver-xorg-core: optioning /usr/bin/Xorg to read /etc/X11/rgb.txt

[giacomo boffi]

Package: xserver-xorg-core
Version: 2:1.4.2-5
Severity: wishlist

the name-color mapping mechanism built into the Xorg server is
configured at compile time to look either 1) an internal table, or 2)
the file /etc/X11/rgb.txt

at some point following

,
| commit 8987b2c1efc9a4667e278e6ba411772ba2a4a4e6
| Author: Keith Packard [EMAIL PROTECTED]
| Date:   Thu Feb 16 07:17:31 2006 +
| 
| Make more extensions optional in build (for kdrive). Fix kdrive build for
| actual hardware. Fix kdrive pointer signed/unsigned types. Add
| kdrive-required YX rotation functions. Replace rgb text file loading
| with static rgb color table.
`

the compilation switch was changed upstream, so that /etc/X11/rgb.txt
is ignored by /usr/bin/Xorg, but Xorg says the distributions are free
to revert to the old behaviour

my rationale for restoring the old behaviour is simple: both the
built-in color table and the original rgb.text are seriously
defective, lacking especially darker colors [1], and the system
administrator can obviate this problem only if the name-color mapping
happens at runtime, reading /etc/X11/rgb.txt

if you cannot see an impeding argument, could Debian please restore
the old behaviour modifying the build process of the /usr/bin/Xorg
executable?

thank you
gb

i find very hard to think that you have not a single correspondent

   here i have a very minimal example,
   
i open a new oowriter document, insert a ole formula object

then i save as example.doc, put my saved example.doc on a usb key
and later open using (a) word2004 for mac or (b) word2007 for windows 

in (a) i have an equation with a ? in place of phi, and nothing 
that i can do, except erasing the ? and manually inputing the 
phi symbol in equation editor 

in (b), using a collegue's pc, there are 3 empty boxes displayed 
[][][] in place of (phi), but this can be changed in equation 
editor selecting the three ??? that appear in place of the empty 
boxes and changing the font 
   
   as you can see from (b), some information is there (in the word
   document's equation, i mean), and some information is missing...
  
  Does this also happen in a normal build from www.openoffice.org?
  Please try, and if yes, file an issue there please (and tell me the

yes, it happens

but i do not want to register with openoffice.org to file a bug report

Bug#488952: screenletsd shell script uses printf abcd instead of printf abcd\n

[giacomo boffi]

Package: screenlets
Version: 0.1.2-1
Severity: normal


Screenletsd shell script uses printf abcd instead of printf abcd\n
allover the places, so that, e.g., we have
% screenletsd --help
  Options:   --gui   Open up the Graphical Interface
 --cliUse the Command Line interface  Cli Options (only use one at a time): 
  run   Run the Screenlet   au   Add the 
Screenlet to your autostart listlist  List all 
installed screenlets% 

maybe other shell scripts in the package have similar behaviour


best regards

Bug#487948: openoffice.org-writer: writer exporting to .doc: greek characters in eq.s are (almost) lost

[giacomo boffi]

Package: openoffice.org-writer
Version: 1:2.4.1-3
Severity: normal

when i save a document containing a formula with greek letters to .doc 
format, the greek letters (or more, see later) disappear when opening 
the .doc using some sort of word 

here i have a very minimal example,

 i open a new oowriter document, insert a ole formula object 
   sin ( %phi ) = 3 + 4 a 
 then i save as example.doc, put my saved example.doc on a usb key
 and later open using (a) word2004 for mac or (b) word2007 for windows 
 
 in (a) i have an equation with a ? in place of phi, and nothing 
 that i can do, except erasing the ? and manually inputing the 
 phi symbol in equation editor 
 
 in (b), using a collegue's pc, there are 3 empty boxes displayed 
 [][][] in place of (phi), but this can be changed in equation 
 editor selecting the three ??? that appear in place of the empty 
 boxes and changing the font 

as you can see from (b), some information is there (in the word
document's equation, i mean), and some information is missing...

tia,
gb

Bug#486476: oolatex fails to create directory sxw-%%.dir as specified in tex4ht.cfg

[giacomo boffi]

Package: tex4ht
Version: 20080614-1
Severity: normal

when i try to generate a OO file from a latex source,

% /usr/share/tex4ht/oolatex myfile.tex

the scripts invoked from oolatex somehow fail to create a directory
named, following my example, sxw-myfile.dir

the relevant code is contained in /etc/tex4ht/tex4ht.cfg, in the
stanza

oo
%%% openoffice  %
.4oo mkdir sxw-%%0.dir
.4os mkdir sxw-%%0.dir/Pictures
.4os mv%%1.4os sxw-%%0.dir/settings.xml
.4oo mv%%0.4oo sxw-%%0.dir/content.xml
[...]
%%% end openoffice  %
/oo

an error is signalled when the script invoked by oolatex try to create
the Pictures directory

if i create sxw-myfile.dir before executing oolatex, i have different
problems that will be the subject of a different bug-report

thank you

Bug#486482: tex4ht: a java program invoked from oolatex goes in error

[giacomo boffi]

Package: tex4ht
Version: 20080614-1
Severity: normal

let say that i have a latex source named esercizio.tex, when i execute 

% mkdir sxw-esercizio.dir ; /usr/share/tex4ht/oolatex esercizio.tex

(please see my previous bug report for the mkdir) the subsequent
invocation from different scripts of a java program raise an error,
and the subsequent esercizio.odt file that's generated leads to a
simple blank page when opened in openoffice

the java command is specified in /etc/tex4ht/tex4ht.cfg, in the
following stanza

ooxtpipes
.4oo mv %%0.4oo %%0.tmp
.4oo java -classpath /usr/share/tex4ht/tex4ht.jar xtpipes -i 
/usr/share/texmf/tex4ht/xtpipes/ -o %%0.4oo %%0.tmp
.4om mv %%1.4om %%1.tmp
.4om java -classpath /usr/share/tex4ht/tex4ht.jar xtpipes -i 
/usr/share/texmf/tex4ht/xtpipes/ -o %%1.4om %%1.tmp
/ooxtpipes

for reference, i executed the same command on one of the tmp files,

% java -classpath /usr/share/tex4ht/tex4ht.jar xtpipes \
  -trace -E \
  -i /usr/share/texmf/tex4ht/xtpipes/ -o esercizio-m6.4om esercizio-m6.tmp

where i have added some debugging options to the invocation of the
java interpreter

the output is as follows

the same error is raised for each of the tmp files that oolatex
processes with the xtpipes java, and esercizio.odt merely contains a
blank page

other people on c.l.tex seem to be happy using oolatex on different
systems

  Hi Giacomo,
  
  Can you cut the file esercizio.tex to a miniature minimal size while
  still demonstrating the problem.  The problem seems to be in a broken
  XML code produced in early phases and then fed into xtpipes.
  
  -eitan

i forgot to mention that using htlatex everything works as advertised,
even with the complete input file

i reduced my example more and more, and finally i have a simple latex
article that doesn't use external packages, yet confuses oolatex

as i said in a previous bugreport, i have to prepend a mkdir to have a
correct processing

the command line(s) that i use is hence

mkdir sxw-esercizio.dir
/usr/share/tex4ht/oolatex esercizio  esercizio_log 21

i attach both the input file and the esercizio_log that command
execution has produced

thank you very much
gb

  This (second) failure seems to the same error as is evident in bug
  report #471837, which is due to a problem with default-jre under Debian
  (see #474075). The problem is that the JRE which uses gij (or cacao
  or jamvm) is not entirely compatible with Sun's java.
  
  The original xtpipes java code and the resulting byte code works
  fine with Sun's java. If you choose the Sun java (currently only in
  non-free under Debian) using update-alternatives, then the
  conversion ought to work for now. 
 
the sun alternative is fine for me

  We are still trying to fix this compatibility issue.

shouldn't this problem be reflected into the dependencies of tex4ht?
let's say that tex4ht reccomends sun's java

thank you

Bug#477313: ControlScreenlet: Applications menu has all entries doubled

[giacomo boffi]

Package: screenlets
Version: 0.1-1
Severity: normal


The ControlScreenlet shows, in a popup menu, some applications to start,
but the apps offered by default are not the apps that i normally use, so
i looked for a way to modify the menu entries

i found that the ControlScreenlet reads its menu configuration from
/usr/share/screenlets/Control/menu.xml
and inspecting the file i've seen a commented out item, regarding the
activation of an Applications sub-menu

out of curiosity i uncommented the lines (see the diff -u below) and
restarted the screenlet, but there is a funny problem in the generated
menu, all entries in the four submenus Office,  Development, Games
and Utilities are doubled, that is, e.g.,

IDLE
IDLE
Amaya
Amaya
...

all - entries - are - doubled !

i don't know if this a problem in the screenlets packaging, in the
upstream code or in the /usr/share/applications/* files, so feel free to
ignore this report if the last two hypoteses apply

my appreciation for all the good work, yours and upstream's

best regards,
gb

Bug#477313: ControlScreenlet: Applications menu has all entries doubled

[Giacomo Boffi]

i can add a bit more perspective

having stopped and restarted my window manager, having restarted
ControlScreenlet i have seen that all Applications submenus were
correct... wtf!

i added _another_ ControlScreenlet to the desktop and, after a long
thinkering, oopla a second Control appeared on my desktop, this time
with a doubled menu... not happy, i started a third instance and,
guess what, triple menu's entries

so it appears that, eventually, the bug could be that you can run only
one instance of Control at a time, because later instances seem to
reuse a data structure of previous ones

otoh, it seems reasonable to have only one Control running in a
desktop

in conclusion, i don't know if it is, in all effects, a bug

best regards
   gb

Bug#473774: idle: the lines in the path browser windows are overlapping

if you select a line in the path browser window, that is longer than the

in other words, all the descenders of the letters in a line are

Bug#428728: x11-common: placing DebianRed in /etc/X11/rgb.txt is inane

[giacomo boffi]

Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.2-5
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


placing DebianRed in /etc/X11/rgb.txt is inane, because X does not
honor the data in that file, but only takes into account the builtin
color-names table

to be able to define new color names, you should either

   change the builtin table

or

  define USE_RGB_BUILTIN to 0 during the build (see os/oscolor.c)

Hi Giacomo,

  otoh, kpackard himself changed the default behaviour...

i can add another reason to define USE_RGB_BUILTIN to 0 during the
build: some debian chap added the color RedDebian to
/etc/X11/rgb.txt in a recent release of the x11-common package

please imagine the deluded face he'd sport when xsetroot -solid

if the rgb.txt you ship WERE ALWAYS the builtin table no one will see

  I don't really know why you want a custom [rgb.txt] in this day and

yes, for example a debian mantainer has recently augmented rgb.txt

Bug#426012: python-scipy: cannot install

Justification: renders package unusable

I tried to install python-scipy, using apt-get, i had the following
output

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

Bug#423837: swisswatch does not understand the editres protocol

[giacomo boffi]

Package: swisswatch
Version: 0.6-12
Severity: important


The original README in the swisswatch distribution says

  Under X11R5, you can use the resource editor to interactively change
   colors and shapes of the graphical elements of the clock.

but if i 
 1. launch swisswatch
 2. launch editres
 3. in editres, use the Commands-Get Tree menu entry
 4. click on swisswatch
editres first tell me

   Message sent to client asking for widget tree,

and later

   It appears that this client does not understand the editres protocol.

this behaviour appears in contrast with the README's statement i quoted
above

 i have installed xserver-xorg-core 2:1.1.1-9, and i have tried to use

 without the RgbPath directive in xorg.conf --- and no, the new server
 doesn't find deepblue in the color db in neither case

 tonight i'll try the same at home, where i have a similar debian

Bug#389864: xserver-xorg-core: /usr/bin/Xorg does not find rgb.txt

[giacomo boffi]

Package: xserver-xorg-core
Version: 2:1.1.1-7
Severity: normal

in my debian, the X colour db is installed by x11-common, in two places,
the traditional one, /etx/X11, and the new standard, /usr/share/X11

i'm used to increment the colour db with italian names and other things
and until recently (less than a week) all worked as intended

now X does not recognize anymore these italian colours, afaict
(i strace'd Xorg binary) because it's unable to find rgb.txt

here it is a simple test case:
 START -
- 1 from the console type --
  $ sudo echo  230 230 230 grigiochiaro  /etc/X11/rgb.txt

- 2 start X as usual, e.g., 
  $ startx

- 3 from an xterm, type 
  $ xsetroot -solid grigiochiaro

- 4 read the error message -
  xsetroot:  unknown color grigiochiaro 
 END ---

btw, the server binary contains a copy of the colour db, so it knows
about rosybrown and chartreuse even if no rgb.txt is available to it,
shadowing the problem to 99.994% of the user base...

thank you

Bug#368829: a2ps: installation does not take care of /usr/share/info/dir

[giacomo boffi]

Package: a2ps
Version: 1:4.13b.dfsg.1-1
Severity: normal


a2ps installation procedure, for a binary package, places an info
manual in /usr/share/info, but does not places a sensible entry in
the dir file

the info file of a2ps is still accessible with info a2ps, but
it's not listed in the top level listing that i see with the generic
command info

Bug#345396: xserver-xorg: Conflicts nvidia-glx ... in other words: older hardware isnt supported anymore

[Giacomo Boffi]

Randall Donald wrote:

  I use an older nvidia GeForce Graphics-Board, which
  is only supported up to driver version 7174. See
  http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_18897.html Until now I had no
  problems with that. But now I have to decide if I want to use the
  old driver and so cant upgrade the xserver-xorg package, or to use
  the free nv driver for this card and miss the hardware- acceleration
  while upgrading xserver-xorg to 6.9.0.dfsg.1-1 and further.

 The upcoming nvidia-*-legacy packages will also have the diversion so
 I'll just reassign this bug over to me if you all don't mind.

one of my pcs has an old riva, that's supported up to driver version 7174.

i recently tried to install nvidia support the Debian way, as the
nvidia installer for 7174 works no more with the newer version of the
xorg server, or so it seems to me

i had no problem building the kernel legacy modules, but i found that
the nvidia-glx that i installed had a mismatched version... i found 
Randy's repository and tried to install nvidia-glx-legacy_1.0.7174-1_i386.deb

but nvidia-glx-legacy_1.0.7174-1_i386.deb is meant for an xfree server...
am i correct? at the moment, i'm using the nv video driver, but no ppracer
is too sad to say in words...

may i wish that in the future there will be a nvidia-glx-legacy.*7174.*.deb
built for the xorg server?

best regards,
  gb

Bug#362299: xbase-clients: [xrdb] (apparently) changed cpp invocation switches

[giacomo boffi]

Package: xbase-clients
Version: 1:7.0.0-2
Severity: important


---
SUMMARY: 
characters in a .Xdefaults file, when processed by cpp, ARE NOT 
SYNTACTIC TOKENS, hence the NEED for the -traditional switch 
---

i have cpp's macros in my .Xdefaults file, lots of those macros are now 
broken, as cpp is no more invoked with the -traditional switch

in particular, concatenation breaks horribly when one try to build XLFD 
font descriptions, as the - characters are no more mere characters, 
but were implicitly promoted to the status of syntactic tokens, so that
it's very difficult, at least to me, to get proper concatenation as in
the following example

% cpp
#define bbb aaa ## 12
#define ccc aaa ## -12
bbb
ccc
# 1 stdin
# 1 built-in
# 1 command line
# 1 stdin


aaa12
stdin:4:1: error: pasting aaa and - does not give a valid 
preprocessing token
aaa -12
%

Bug#359908: python-gnuplot: only python2.3 is supported

[giacomo boffi]

Package: python-gnuplot
Version: 1.7-5
Severity: normal


usually, python-xxx packages support different versions of python, depending on 
packeges in the like of python2.y-xxx

this is not true of the python-gnuplot package, that installs its stuff under 
the 
python2.3 hierarchy

afaict, python-gnuplot should do the like of python-docutils, that installs its 
modules under /usr/lib/site-python

Bug#338281: idesk: changes the desktop background

[giacomo boffi]

Package: idesk
Version: 0.7.4-1
Severity: normal

i have a ~/.ideskrc without Background.* directives, from the description
in http://idesk.sourceforge.net/usage.html it looks like idesk should
do nothing to my desktop background (bg), but instead it uses a color
of its choice for filling

i know that changing the bg is intended as a feature, but, imho, if
i don't ask idesk for doing so and idesk so does, it's not a feature,
it's a bug

tia,
