Bug#375251: inkscape: Cursor coordinates in status bar do not match ruler numbers
Package: inkscape Version: 0.41-4.99.sarge2 Severity: normal I'm new to Inkscape - trying to find something better than Xfig - but I'm bewildered that for a completely new document the cursor position in the status bar just next to the %zoom seems to be 1.25 times the ruler numbers. For instance, if I put the cursor immediately below '400' the cursor position reads '500'. Beneath 200 it reads 250, etc. I get exactly the same sort of effect if I put the cursor beside 400 in the vertical ruler: the coordinates read 500. I've tried setting all the unit measurements to px, and I can't see anything to control this weird scaling. The most likely thing looked like 'Default export scaling' but I twiddled with that and it made no difference. If this really isn't a bug, please accept my apologies and tell me how to make the two numbers match up (or why it's so very useful to have them scaled by 125%)? It's driving me berserk.

Bug#365461: No flushing of old packages
Package: aptitude Version: 0.2.15.9-2 Severity: normal I've been using aptitude for a while, but recently my disc filled up because the /var/cache/apt/archives were never being flushed of old packages, despite the manpage apparently saying that was the default. I fixed it readily with apt-get autoclean, but 'autoclean' seems like something which should be run by something automatically? Is this something aptitude should be doing?

Bug#350123: galeon: Link context menu does not offer 'Open with...' like the image context menu.

Am I understanding > you correctly? Yes. The mime-type thing is useful for many applications, but making it the sole source of choice is too restrictive. By way of example: it would be stupid for 'Vi' to register itself as being able to cope with HTML, but HTML is a text-based format and it's fairly natural for someone to want to open a HTML link in Vi, to examine it. If opening a link in an arbitrary application could optionally register it as able to handle that mime-type or file extension, that might be particularly useful.

Bug#350123: galeon: Link context menu does not offer 'Open with...' like the image context menu.
Hi. The particular example might be a GIMP bug, but the overall issue is that I would like Galeon to have a pop-up menu entry that asks me which application I want to send an arbitrary link to - not necessarily an SVG to GIMP: it could be that I want to send a .txt link to vi, or that I sometimes want to send a .wek link to xfwek and sometimes send it to xwek. Perhaps even - horrors - a .html link to my shell script that fires up Internet Explorer in Wine.

I know there's the screensaver-demo command, but I rather like the carousel as an application in and of itself.

Bug#302777: /usr/bin/xscreensaver-demo: It seems to hang when it starts the preview
Package: xscreensaver Version: 4.21-3 Followup-For: Bug #302777 I get this reliably too. I also use the nvidia proprietary driver. I set up a trivial shell loop to monitor CPU usage when the preview (I happened to use twang) started, as well as when it ended, and it looks to me like the process actually goes berserk at the start of the preview, not at the end.

RTFM for the correct parameters. Not amazed, but disappointed. RTFM is all very well, but making a program behave helpfully in the face of improper input is matter of good taste, particularly if that input is subsequently processed in a relatively obscure way, as in the translation from /dev/cdrom to -2,-2,-2: You already warn about the image file being too large before trying to write it, I think. I try to make my software give helpful messages if someone gets it wrong (so the program is in some senses an extension of the manual) but I also try to name the options in a way to avoid confusion: The parameter 'dev' is short for 'device' which has long meant /dev/ files on Unix, so I think the confusion is quite reasonable. Calling the parameter something like 'scsiaddr=' would probably have been a better choice. Still, it's your code, and I have to thank you for making it available, because when everything's right, it works well. > Solaris is currently free of charge for any type of usage and it will be > Open Source for everybody very soon (I already have access to the Mm. Certainly the new kernel-level debugging facilities are very tempting, but I think driver support isn't quite as good. I'll think about it. Anyway, I'd better stop hassling you. Thanks again.

Bug#299562: dev=/dev/cdrom crashed/hung X
Hi. I'm running the Debian/Woody package for both cdrecord and 2.4 kernel-sources, so the ioctls should be compatible (even if they're 4 years old). So far as I know, I'm not using any GUI-based volume management (I use fvwm2, not Gnome or KDE) but are there any processes or kernel modules I should check for? It sounds like you're saying this is a kernel bug. Perhaps you would be kind enough to forward the report to the kernel package team if that's the case? As an aside, while clearly nothing should cause a kernel to crash, I would have expected a program that deals specifically with the SCSI interface, to the extent of scanning the bus, to notice that it was about to try to talk to an unlikely/impossible SCSI address and give a warning to the user: a message like 'ENOTTY: No such device' in response to 'dev=/dev/cdrom' would have been confusing, but something like "Impossible SCSI address [-2, -2, -2] - have you specified dev= properly?" would have been good. I sympathise with your frustration over Linux ioctl changes. You'd suggest that I use Windows or Solaris instead? Best wishes, Tim Baverstock.

Old? Have they released a successor to Woody without telling me? Nobody ever tells me anything. Why do you all hate me? Le's'ee... KDE 2.2.2 and Galeon 1.2.5 (2000-2002). The very latest!

Mmm. Interesting. Doesn't seem to float that way. I moved the old Galeon thingy up (with my user area's copies of the Galeon.desktop at Exec=... %u), ran kbuildsycoca, and... still broken. Moved the new galeon\ %u one back, things work again. Edited the /var/lib/{kde,gnome}/.../Net/Galeon.desktop files to add the %u to the Exec line, re-ran kbuildsycoca, moved it back up again, and... no polenta. Have I erred?

Hi. Thanks for this. I ran 'locate Galeon' and found a few Galeon.desktop files: /home/warwick/.gnome/Debian/Galeon.desktop /home/warwick/.kde/share/applnk/Debian/Galeon.desktop /home/warwick/.wmx/Debian/Galeon /usr/share/oaf/GNOME_Galeon_Automation.oaf /var/lib/gnome/Debian/Apps/Net/Galeon.desktop /var/lib/kde/menu/Net/Galeon.desktop I updated the Exec line for those in my home directory: $ cat .kde/share/applnk/Debian/Galeon.desktop [Desktop Entry] Comment=Galeon Exec=/usr/bin/galeon %u Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/galeon.xpm InitialPreference=2 MimeType=image/png;all/x-url;application/x-url;Application Name=Galeon ServiceTypes= Terminal=false Type=Application and restarted X (to ensure that KDEinit was dead) but no dice. > If you created the command by using the application tree, this would > suggest that the .desktop file installed by Galeon is broken. I did create the association by choosing Galeon from the menu that pops up: Internet->Debian->Galeon. I just tried typing /usr/bin/galeon %u in to the 'enter the name' field and moving that entry to the top of the list, and that now successfully launches Galeon with the URL, but other than the name change I can't see any real difference between the two files, so I don't understand why this one works when the other doesn't, so I'm not sure what to ask the Galeon maintainer to fix - can you advise? $ cat .kde/share/applnk/galeon\ %u.desktop [Desktop Entry] Comment= Exec=/usr/bin/galeon %u Icon=unknown InitialPreference=4 MimeType=text/html;Application Name=galeon %u ServiceTypes= Terminal=false Type=Application Also, is there something I should be using to edit these files, other that Vi? Or something I should run to say 'the files have been updated'?

Bug#300562: KMail insists on downloading URLs before passing them to Galeon
Package: kmail Version: 4:2.2.2-14.7 Severity: normal I use KMail and Galeon. I've been dragging URLs from KMail into Galeon to avoid Konqueror from popping up, because there wasn't a configuration setting in KMail saying which browser to send URLs to. I recently realised that the KDEControlCentre might be useful (I don't run KDE) and when I changed the file associations, Galeon did indeed pop up. However: KMail doesn't pass the URL to Galeon - it insists on downloading it and passing the temporary file over. This has two problems: 1. KMail insists on downloading the file before passing it on to Galeon, so instead of getting a website URL in Galeon, I get some random temporary file. I can't see an way to tell KDE that Galeon should be given URLs to handle itself. (With Galeon, I can tell it that a helper application knows about URLs; KDE seems to lack that option.) 2. The running instance of Galeon sometimes doesn't pick up the temporary file before the instance started by KMail returns (having told the running instance about the file given to it by KMail). KMail deletes the file because it thinks Galeon's finished. Issue 2 is a result of issue 1, but could conceivably cause problems for other client/server programs like emacsclient. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux cardinal 2.4.18.20040523 #1 Sat Apr 24 01:30:06 BST 2004 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages kmail depends on: ii kdelibs3 4:2.2.2-13.woody.13 KDE core libraries (runtime files) ii libc62.2.5-11.8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfam0 2.6.6.1-5.2 client library to control the FAM ii libjpeg626b-5The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libkdenetwork1 4:2.2.2-14.7Common libraries needed for KDE ne ii libmimelib1 4:2.2.2-14.7mime libraries needed for some KDE ii libpng2 1.0.12-3.woody.9PNG library - runtime ii libqt2 3:2.3.1-22 Qt GUI Library (runtime version). ii libstdc++2.10-glibc2 1:2.95.4-11woody1 The GNU stdc++ library ii procmail 3.22-5 Versatile e-mail processor. ii xlibs4.1.0-16woody5 X Window System client libraries ii zlib1g 1:1.1.4-1.0woody0 compression library - runtime -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#299562: dev=/dev/cdrom crashed/hung X
Package: cdrecord Version: 4:1.10-7 Severity: normal I tried to write a CD without reading the documentation properly, and typed 'cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrom karan.iso'. This decided that I wanted to use -2,-2,-2 and unsurprisingly cdrecord hung. I pressed ^C and (being the simple soul that I am) typed the same command with the softlink translated to /dev/sr0. This time, X froze - even the keyboard numlock etc didn't toggle - and I had to hard-reset the computer. (Sadly, the PDA I've used on other occasions had broken, so I couldn't try to get in through ttyS1.) The journalling file systems kicked in, so I don't think I've lost anything (although they complained about some inodes), but I was a little startled.
