Bug#953077: adequate informs obsolete-conffile for mate-settings-daemon when it upgrades it

Bug#953077: adequate informs obsolete-conffile for mate-settings-daemon when it upgrades it
Hi, In 1.24 org.mate.SettingsDaemon.DateTimeMechanism.conf has been moved from /etc to /usr/share [1] (if using the default configure setting). I guess you’ll have to add debian/maintscript to actually remove it from /etc on the next package upgrade...
Bug#951678: adequate reports obsolete-conffile while it is upgraded
Hi, Indeed, in 1.24 org.mate.CPUFreqSelector.conf has been moved from /etc to /usr/share [1] (if using the default configure setting). As a consequence, it’s no longer in mate-applets but in mate-applets-common instead. I guess you’ll have to add debian/maintscript to actually remove it from /etc on the next package upgrade...

Bug#931776: snapd: Installed snaps do not appear in desktop launcher in Debian buster.
Hi, So, snapd sets $PATH and $XDG_DATA_DIRS in /etc/profile.d/apps-bin-path.sh, but /etc/profile and /etc/profile.d aren't used in the graphical logins in Debian. [1] Older versions of snapd also had set $XDG_DATA_DIRS in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/65snappy, which was used in the X sessions. But that was dropped upstream in [2], which happened some time after Stretch was released, but before Buster was released. I guess this is the cause of the problem...

Bug#942914: caja-mediainfo: Python2 removal in sid/bullseye
Hi, This extension seems to work with Python 3 after one import change: -from MediaInfoDLL import * +from MediaInfoDLL3 import * After that, it also needs a dependency change from python-mediainfodll to python3-mediainfodll.
Bug#936266: caja-rename: Python2 removal in sid/bullseye
Hi, Upstream migrated to Python 3 in version 19.7.9, so it can be uploaded to fix this. Note: version 19.7.15 depends on development version of python-caja (1.23), so it's too new for now (until MATE 1.24 is released in the beginning of 2020).

Hi, Upstream should be now compatible with Python 3: https://github.com/infirit/caja-admin/commit/0af109ac79df76fbcc406d577d79f1c64d1a1fca There was no new upstream release though, so that commit should be used as a patch.
Bug#885263: caja-dropbox: Depends on unmaintained pygtk
Hi, Martin updated packaging for Python 3 before 1.22.1 was uploaded to Unstable: https://salsa.debian.org/debian-mate-team/caja-dropbox/commit/8694f61e85248792de2bbacd11c4999860125c17
Bug#937628: python-caja: Python2 removal in sid/bullseye
Hi, Starting from version 1.22.0, python-caja is compatible with both Python 2 and 3. So the maintainers can pass PYTHON=python3 environment variable to ./configure to build it for Python 3. We might also drop Python 2 support upstream in version 1.24. It will be probably released in the beginning of 2020, when Python 2 will be already EOL.

Hi, The migration to Python 3 and GI had been done in caja-dropbox 1.22.0. I guess we can close this?
Bug#930589: backintime: New upstream version 1.2.0
Hi, Just in case it will ever be updated to 1.2.0... people should know that 1.2.0 ignores any backups made with 1.1.x, so the first backup made with 1.2.0 will be FULL one. Not a nice surprise, especially if your backup drive doesn't have enough space to hold one more full backup. https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues/988 https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues/989 https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues/999
Bug#932058: mate-dock-applet should depend on gir1.2-matepanelapplet-4.0 instead of transitional gir1.2-mate-panel
Source: mate-dock-applet Version: 0.88-1 Severity: normal Tags: buster bullseye sid Hi, Currently mate-dock-applet depends on a transitional package gir1.2-mate-panel, which in its turn depends on a real GI package gir1.2-matepanelapplet-4.0. It's better to make mate-dock-applet depend directly on gir1.2-matepanelapplet-4.0. The required version should also be bumped to 1.20, or at least to 1.18.7 (where the new GI package first appeared).
Bug#927875: mate-applets: doesn't have Python applets but depends on Python packages
Source: mate-applets Version: 1.20.3-2 Severity: normal Tags: buster sid Hi, As I've mentioned in [1], mate-applets 1.20.x doesn't have any Python applets inside. So, build dependency on python-gi-dev package and runtime dependency on python and python-gi packages can be dropped. In addition, the mention of the Invest applet in package description and debian/copyright file can be dropped as well. [1] https://bugs.debian.org/922143#15

Source: mate-menu Version: 18.04.3-3 Severity: normal Tags: buster sid Hi, Currently mate-menu depends on a transitional package gir1.2-mate-panel, which in its turn depends on a real GI package gir1.2-matepanelapplet-4.0. It's better to make mate-menu depend directly on gir1.2-matepanelapplet-4.0. The required version should also be bumped to 1.20, or at least to 1.18.7 (where the new GI package first appeared).

Hi, I'm not able to reproduce it in my Debian Testing VM. Don't have it installed on baremetal, maybe it's relevant. Anyway, the full backtrace might give some hints... can you obtain it? You'll need to do the following: 1. Run the debugger with the latest dump from Caja: $ coredumpctl debug caja It should show some info and gdb's prompt, (gdb). 2. Run the command to get the full backtrace in gdb's prompt: (gdb) bt full And post the result of it. To quit gdb, use 'q' command: (gdb) q
Bug#922699: caja: Caja crash when copying paste
Hi, Ok, seems like the bug is in Caja, not in libgio. It's not clear yet what causes the crash... Does it crash on every copy/paste of any folder? Is there something common between all the folders? For example, a lot of large files, a lot of small files, some specific characters in filenames...

Bug#922699: caja: Caja crash when copying paste
Hi, Since the crash is in libgio, it could be a bug in it (or maybe libgtk) instead of Caja. A backtrace is needed to know for sure. You can use coredumpctl tool from systemd-coredump package to see the backtrace. You'll also need -dbgsym packages from http://debug.mirrors.debian.org/debian-debug/ repos. Which Debian version are you actually running? This part of your system info confuses me: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') A mix of stable and testing repos?
Bug#922143: mate-applets: depends on transitional package gir1.2-mate-panel
Hi, Since we had dropped [1] the non-working Invest applet from the package before 1.20 release, there are no Python applets inside anymore. Therefore, Python and GI dependencies can be safely removed. Oh, and the mention of the Invest applet in package description and copyright file can be dropped too. I've dropped all that in debian-packages repo [2].

Bug#893163: caja-dropbox: drop down menu does not appears when clicking on icon (left or right click) in version 1.20
Hi, So, everyone seems to have this issue exactly with version 1.20.0-2. It's the version where 2003_fake_xdg_current_desktop.patch had been added [1]. I've done some testing and I can say this patch does the wrong thing. See my comment with screenshot at [2] for more info. Therefore I suggest removing that patch. Side note: in [2] I've mentioned only testing in Ubuntu-based system, but I've got the same result in current Debian Testing.

The same corrupted/duplicated icon problem also happens in nm-applet and skypeforlinux (that one is proprietary) apps. It has been fixed in GTK+ 3.24.3 upstream [1].

Bug#884648: mate-panel occasionally crashes with segfault
Hi, Can you also install the debug packages [1] and use "bt full" command in gdb? The debug packages are needed for libgtk-3, libglib-2.0, mate-panel. This will show function names, line numbers, variable values and other useful info to determine where and why the crash happens.

Bug#883487: mate-system-monitor: Don't recommend libgksu2-0

Bug#851854: pluma: missing dependencies /pygtksourceview
Hi, This bug report is valid only for Jessie where Pluma is GTK+2. Adding python-gtksourceview2 dependency in Buster (or Stretch) is completely useless... Pluma won't use it. I've noticed it because it's also the cause of having unneeded python-gtk2 package installed in Ubuntu MATE 18.04.
Bug#828158: caja: backgrounds and emblems dialog does not work
Hi, The menu item is back, and the dialog works, but you still need to resize it every time you switch between the categories inside it. Otherwise it will show empty space instead of colors or emblems. That's why I didn't close the upstream report yet. That's what the original reporter here said: > When I tried the usual procedure (Edit-Backgrounds and Emblems-Colors), it > appears as there are no colors at all! The box is completely empty. This is > very bad for my eye-sight and please be so kind to fix this problem. So it's not completely fixed, and not everyone knows about the workaround with resizing. But it's up to you to have it closed or not :)

Bug#873637: mate-panel fails to open /usr/share/mate-panel/ui/panel-properties-dialog-gtk3.ui
Hi, The panel-properties-dialog-gtk3.ui file is from 1.16. It was there when mate-panel supported both GTK+2 and GTK+3 builds. In 1.18 it's only GTK+3, and the file is named panel-properties-dialog.ui. Both mate-panel executable and the mentioned .ui file are in the same package (mate-panel). If the panel tries to open the non-existent -gtk3.ui file, that means that somehow the package got corrupted, and you have mate-panel executable from 1.16 but .ui file from 1.18. Or maybe some other corruption happened. I suggest reinstalling the package: sudo apt-get install --reinstall mate-panel

Hi, Sure, I'll provide the links to upstream issue, commit, etc.
Bug#861031: mate-desktop-environment: several minor updates to various MATE 1.16 components
Hi, All the updates mentioned above are now in Stretch. The last one was Marco which migrated there today. We (upstream) have more fixes to be backported to 1.16 branch, but it will happen later, and they'll have to be applied as patches after Stretch is released. New upstream releases probably won't be accepted in Debian Stable. So, should this report be closed as fixed?
Bug#864048: unblock: marco/1.16.1-1
Hi, Is something else needed from upstream or maintainers to unblock marco? It's already uploaded to Unstable, but still has the block and 10-day delay... I think this is the last of MATE bugfix releases that we wanted to get into Stretch.
Bug#861031: mate-desktop-environment: several minor updates to various MATE 1.16 components
Hi, This is great, I see all the listed packages are now in Unstable, and all unblock requests are approved. Niels even lowered the migration delay to 2-3 days for these packages. However, marco and mate-themes are left with 10 days... maybe contact Niels about these two? I also added a comment on mate-themes unblock just in case, even though it's done already. Thanks to you and Niels for handling all the updates quickly :)
Bug#864065: unblock: mate-themes/3.22.11-1
Hi, Thanks for unblocking. This is really a good improvement over version 3.22.6. We (upstream devs) have been testing various themes from the package, and with each next version they definitely get better. :)

I would also like to see mate-themes getting into Stretch before its release, because there were many changes since 3.22.6, and the patch would be very large.

Drag-n-drop of emblems/backgrounds works, but you still need to resize the dialog to make them appear in it. Sorry, we still have no idea why it happens and how to fix it...
Bug#862155: need upgrade of mate-desktop and caja to fix desktop background
Reassigning the bug to metapackage since fixing it requires upgrading of both mate-desktop (to 1.16.2) and Caja (to 1.16.3). Also merged all the duplicate reports since they're all about the same regression. Actually, it's recommended to upgrade Caja to the latest 1.16.x version which is currently 1.16.6, as this would fix some other bugs reported here. I would not recommend opting for a later stable release patch, as the amount of code changes is quite big (even for the desktop background fix alone, not counting other included bugfixes). There's not much time left really, as Stretch is scheduled for release on June 17th, and June 9th is set as the deadline for any changes: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2017/05/msg2.html
Bug#828077: mate-panel: Mouse focus problem with stack of applications
Ok, Marco 1.16.1 is released with the fix upstream.
Bug#853288: caja: invisible cursor in dark themes
Hi, Turned out the needed commits were present only in the master branch, they didn't make it to 3.22 branch. This is now fixed, and 3.22.11 is released. Please upload it. Side note: package tracking system still shows 3.22.9 as the latest release available, despite the fact that 3.22.10 was available for some time, and now there is 3.22.11 too. I guess the problem is in debian/watch file. The regexp only catches versions with the third number being a single digit, therefore .10 and .11 aren't recognized. Well, we never had point releases getting to .10 before... so it was never detected. :) One more fix for debian/watch file: replace [246890] with [24680] to avoid catching x.9 or x.y9 releases. I don't think it will happen to mate-themes, but would be better for consistency with other projects.
Bug#862155: libmate-window-settings1: impossible to change the background of the screen
Hi, It was probably not this library, but mate-settings-daemon. I think it got updated on the same day.

Bug#855518: panel-mate: got crazy on some sizes only! either got new line of list of windows
Control: tags -1 jessie Hi, Actually, it's possible to patch mate-panel in Jessie to fix this. The trick is to make use of 01_tasklist_orientation.patch from libwnck to set the proper orientation of the tasklist. It was already done before for mate-panel 1.12 (see [1]), but the patch never made it to Jessie. Then GTK+3 build of MATE 1.14 came in, mate-panel was switched to libwnck3, so the patch was dropped. I probably won't have the time to work on Jessie right now, so maybe someone else could do it? [1] https://bugs.debian.org/785272

Hi, Bug #826636 is now fixed by mate-screensaver 1.16.1-1. Do you still get this issue with that version?
Bug#828158: caja: backgrounds and emblems dialog does not work
This had been partially fixed upstream. While the backgrounds & emblems dialog still needs resizing to make the contents appear, the actual applying of colors, backgrounds and emblems to folders now works as before. You can drag-n-drop a color or a background pattern from the dialog to the icon view, and the directory background will be changed. Drag-n-dropping of emblems to files and folders works as well. Same as with #856027, the following packages are needed: mate-desktop 1.16.2 mate-settings-daemon 1.16.2 caja 1.16.3 Since Caja 1.16.3 requires build and runtime deps on mate-desktop 1.16.2, the following change to debian/control is suggested: https://github.com/mate-desktop/debian-packages/commit/d4d940fdd2072a21de3803c4e0c560fc55e6d10c
Bug#862035: mate-terminal freezes Xorg on double click with right mouse button
Source: mate-terminal Version: 1.16.2-1 Severity: important Tags: stretch sid upstream fixed-upstream Control: forwarded -1 https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-terminal/issues/171 Quick double-clicking with right mouse button can freeze Xorg in a way that keyboard and mouse input will be blocked for the whole MATE session. To get things back to normal, you'll have to switch to system console via Ctrl-Alt-F1, log in and kill the mate-terminal process. See the linked upstream bug for more info and reports from the users. This isn't always reproducible on the first try, sometimes you'll need several tries in a row, but eventually it happens. This issue had been fixed upstream in version 1.16.3. Please upload it.
Bug#856027: mate-desktop: "solid color" for background does not work at all
Various background issues, caused by changes in GTK+ 3.22, had been fixed upstream. The following packages are needed: mate-desktop 1.16.2 mate-settings-daemon 1.16.2 caja 1.16.3 Since Caja 1.16.3 requires build and runtime deps on mate-desktop 1.16.2, the following change to debian/control is suggested: https://github.com/mate-desktop/debian-packages/commit/d4d940fdd2072a21de3803c4e0c560fc55e6d10c
Bug#848623: mate-power-manager now needs to be run as root
Hi, Looks like this one can be closed. Forcemerge probably failed due to not reassigning the package first... I would try it myself, but I don't know if it can be done for archived bug reports (#844785 is archived).

Bug#842317: caja: Type misidentified - octave code listed as objective-C
Hi, This is not a Caja bug. This is an old problem that affects also text editors (gedit, pluma), other desktops (Xfce), etc etc etc. google: m files octave Objective-C Some results: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtksourceview2/+bug/451816 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598579 https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1060538.html http://abautu.blogspot.ru/2009/08/octave-files-misdetected-as-objective-c.html https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gedit-list/2010-March/thread.html#00033 So, it's not fixable at our level. Side note: it's claimed to be fixed in gtksourceview, but I still see it when opening your example .m file in Pluma - it's marked as Obj-C file.

Bug#851868: patch - fix out-of-tree build (e.g. 'make distcheck') with automake >= 1.15
Source: intltool Version: 0.51.0-3 Severity: important Tags: stretch sid patch This had been reported upstream (and for Ubuntu) at [1]. Out-of-tree builds, including 'make distcheck', are broken with automake >= 1.15. Because of this, various projects that make use of intltool had to add weird workarounds, as can be seen at [2] or [3]. Patch for this issue had been submitted at LP bug. Debdiff with the patch is in the attachment. Please consider applying it in Stretch (Jessie has automake 1.14 so intltool is not affected there).

Bug#831851: 4.2.10 in Jessie: "net usershare info" segfaults in libtdb-wrap.so.0
Hi, So 4.2.14 is in Jessie now. But recently I've upgraded my Jessie machine to Stretch, so I can't test if 4.2.14 really fixes this. But I think it should since it contains upstream patches... so you probably can close it now - or should I close it?

Alright, looks like we found the source of the problem. :) I suggest moving this file somewhere and see if something changes without it. If nothing goes wrong, it's best to remove this file to avoid any possible confusions in the future. > Trying to find it has some parent is also futile > > ┌─[shirish@debian] - [~/.config/gtk-3.0] - [2586] > └─[$] dpkg -S ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css > > dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern > /home/shirish/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css Oh, this will never show any results. It's a file in your home dir - no package would contain any files for it. > If it was something that I had done, I usually add a comment/note > about from where I got that file, but this has nothing of that kind. It might be result from using some theme-customizing software. I don't remember any tools that would save theme settings to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/ dir, but it looks like there are such tools.
