[Bug 2025523] [NEW] tracker3 taking 100% CPU for a long time

2023-07-01 Thread Paddy Landau
Public bug reported:

/usr/libexec/tracker-extract-3 and /usr/libexec/tracker-miner-fs-3 are
constantly taking 100% CPU, causing the machine to overheat and the fans
to work overtime.

This should not happen.

What doesn't help:
• Ubuntu Settings > Search > turn off search.
• Restart the machine.
The problem is that on the next boot, tracker3 restarts and again takes 100% of 
CPU.

What does help:
• kill -9 for both processes (until the next boot).
• Disable tracker3 according to:

[Bug 2024424] [NEW] Right-click menu on dock doesn't scroll when it is long

2023-06-20 Thread Paddy Landau
Public bug reported:

When you right-click on a "Favourite" in the dock, it shows a small menu
relating to that app. For example, right-click on Nautilus to show the
options "All Windows", "New Window", and the various Nautilus shortcuts.

However, when the menu is long (I have many Nautilus shortcuts, so this
happens with me), the top of the menu, which is the most important bit
(for me, anyway, as I want "New Window") disappears above the screen.

The attached screenshot shows the very top-left of my monitor after I've
right-clicked on the Nautilus shortcut. As you can see, the top part of
the menu has disappeared off the top.

Unfortunately, this menu cannot be scrolled; there's no scrollbar, and
the mouse wheel does nothing.

The menu needs to be scrollable.

2022-09-15 Thread Paddy Landau
Re comment #27

It's NOT only snap. This also happens to me with:

• The flatpak version of Firefox
• The Appimage version of Firefox
• Chrome installed from the official Chrome PPA

I have seen confirmation of this from others.

Thus Snap, Flatpak, Appimage and PPA are all affected.

[Bug 1906420] Re: Please replace default Gnome extension "Desktop Icons" with "Desktop Icons NG (DING)" (by the same author)

2020-12-01 Thread Paddy Landau
@seb128 — Hmm, maybe I'm wrong about it being maintained. It's just that
it shows a lower level of compatibility in its Extensions listing. Sorry
if I was wrong.

I don't recall where specifically I have came across the recommendation
for NG, but I found it referenced in several places when I was trying to
solve another problem with Desktop Icons (it shows a permanent error
that cannot be fixed).

In any case, even if Desktop Icons is maintained, it lacks the features
that NG has, so it would be much easier to just use the latter than to
try to fix the former. I would hate to return to Desktop Icons, having
used Desktop Icons NG (DING) for some time.

[Bug 1906420] [NEW] Please replace default Gnome extension "Desktop Icons" with "Desktop Icons NG (DING)" (by the same author)

2020-12-01 Thread Paddy Landau
Public bug reported:

By default, Ubuntu installs the Gnome extension "Desktop Icons" [1] (by
rastersoft).

Unfortunately, this extension is now unmaintained, is problematic, and
leads to several bugs, including but not limited to Bug #1901150 and Bug
#1813441.

The same author has created, and continues to maintain, the far superior
"Desktop Icons NG (DING)" [2]. It solves a number of problems including
the two aforementioned bugs.

It's possible to disable, but not uninstall, "Desktop Icons", and then
to install "Desktop Icons NG (DING)". I did this a while ago with great
results.

If Canonical replaces the former with the latter, not only will Ubuntu
be using a better desktop manager, but also it will be able clear all
related bugs at a stroke.

This is a simple, cheap, quick and effective solution that will let the
devs concentrate on more important tasks.

Please give this serious consideration.

[Bug 1901150] Re: No "Are you sure?" question when deleting something from Desktop

2020-10-23 Thread Paddy Landau
I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.
On my desktop, Delete (which moves the item to the Recycling bin) just deletes 
it.
Shift+Delete (which deletes the item permanently) does ask.

To me, this is correct behaviour and shouldn't change.

But...

I don't know if this has anything to do with the extension that is used
to control the desktop. In Ubuntu, the default is the broken "Desktop
Icons" [1], which should be replaced with the fixed "Desktop Icons NG
(DING)" [2] (by the same author).

I have uninstalled Desktop Icons and installed Desktop Icons NG (DING).
Thus, my desktop's behaviour might differ from the standard.

[Bug 1897562] [NEW] gedit needs classic confinement

2020-09-28 Thread Paddy Landau
Public bug reported:

The snap version of gedit prevents viewing and editing files outside a
strictly limited set of folders. For example, it cannot change files in
standard folder ~/bin, or standard files such as ~/.bashrc. Even "sudo
-H gedit /etc/fstab" doesn't work.

As there is a bug in the non-snap versions [1], the snap version is
important, but sadly it is unusable for a certain number of cases.

I understand that the only solution is to make gedit available in
classic confinement.

Please would you do this.

Thank you

Thank you for the links, Sebastian and Daniel.

I've resubmitted a bug report, because the one that was turned down was
specifically about max-recents in dconf, rather than about the
functionality.

[Bug 1894878] [NEW] gedit has lost the ability to specify the max-recents value

2020-09-08 Thread Paddy Landau
Public bug reported:

• Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS 64-bit
• gedit 3.36.2-0ubuntu1

gedit used to have an option to change the number of recently-opened
files in the Open dropdown button.

Later, that option was removed (I don't know why), but we could still set it as 
follows (in this case, I've set it to 30, because I need a lot in my history):
gsettings set org.gnome.gedit.preferences.ui max-recents 30

Unfortunately, even that has been taken away now, so there is no way to
increase (or decrease, which some people say they need for
confidentiality) the number of recent files listed.

Please could this option be reinstated, because the current limit is too
restrictive.

Thank you

[Bug 640418] Re: Please add support for bash highlight in gedit

2020-06-06 Thread Paddy Landau
Could we reopen this, please?

gedit has highlighting for sh, but not for bash.

Most of the time, this works fine for bash, but sometimes it goes wrong.

For example, use a command substitution that contains a quote within
case-esac as follows.

#!/bin/bash
case ${SOMETHING} in
( 'a' )
FILENAME="$( readlink "${ARG}" )"
;;
esac
CONFUSING_LINE="case esac"

Starting from the line with the command substitution, gedit thinks that
the rest of the file is within quotes — except those that are parts that
are actually within quotes! This makes it confusing to edit a large
script.

Thank you

 … it also makes things easier to chown the file to my username so I
don't need to type in sudo ggedit just ggedit

You don't have to use sudo, regardless of who owns the script.
Additionally, you should use gksudo, not sudo — which is already in the
one-line script, to save you the trouble of typing it. Just enter
ggedit by itself.

2013-04-02 Thread Paddy Landau
@samuel - Thanks for the function. Unfortunately, that only works from
the terminal; it doesn't work from Alt+F2.

For that reason, the simplest method is to create a new file (I call it
ggedit), place it in your path, and make it executable. The file
contains just one line:

gksudo gksudo gedit ${@}

Use ggedit (or whatever you call the script) instead of gksudo
gedit, and this will work from Alt+F2, the terminal, or anywhere else.

@cousteaulecommandant — Shouldn't temporary files be created in /tmp

That depends on whether the contents are potentially private. As this is
related to .Xauthority, according to nicolas-m-le-zer0, these files
should go to the user's home folder.

@rpr-nospam — thanks for the clarification. I am aware of the
permissions ability, but it is further improved if the user uses
encryption on his home folder. Anyway, that is probably suitable for a
separate discussion.

Regarding comment #105  by @nicolas-m-le-zer0, I have been automatically
removing .Xauthority (via a logout script) when logging out since I read
that comment. Unfortunately, it did not solve the problem. The
.goutputstream* files were still being created and left in the home
folder. I have reverted to deleting the .goutputstream* files in the
logout script.

It appears that LightDM may be a red herring for this problem.

It seems to be (as far as I can tell — I may be wrong) that this is

This bug is not exactly a duplicate of bug #950160, as I can still
create keyboard shortcuts with the Alt key (e.g. Alt-Y).

As I do not know the technical underpinnings, would the resolution of
bug #950160 also fix this bug?

If so, marking this as a duplicate is valid; if not, this is not a

[Bug 1009607] Re: User Accounts does not delete all files when deleting a user with an encrypted folder

2012-06-07 Thread Paddy Landau
Sebastien, that is an interesting question!

sudo userdel --remove -- newuser
- This gives the same problem.

However, the manual for userdel says:
On Debian, administrators should usually use deluser(8) instead.

So I tried:

sudo deluser --remove-home -- newuser
- That command worked correctly.

Therefore, the conclusion seems to be that the accountsservice should
call /usr/sbin/deluser --remove-home -- user instead of userdel.

[Bug 1009607] [NEW] User Accounts does not delete all files when deleting a user with an encrypted folder

2012-06-06 Thread Paddy Landau
Public bug reported:

System Settings  User Accounts  delete a user:
If the user has an encrypted home folder, this action does not delete his 
(encrypted) files.

This is a potential (though highly unlikely) security vulnerability, as
recreating the user can reveal the previous files (as described below).

How to duplicate:

1. Create a user with an encrypted folder. The easiest way to do this AFAIK is 
to install gnome-system tools. Start Users  Groups  Add  (fill in details)  
Encrypt home folder to protect sensitive data. You can see that the user has 
an encrypted folder:
(a) /home/newuser contains two files, viz. Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop and 
README.txt.
(b) /home/.ecryptfs/newuser/.ecryptfs contains a few files.
(c) /home/.ecryptfs/newuser/.Private contains a few encrypted files.

3. Log into the new user and create a new file with some information,
for example a text file on the Desktop.

4. Log out of the new user.

5. Delete the user and his files.
(a) If you do this from gnome-system-tools, this works correctly; it deletes 
/home/newuser and /home/.ecryptfs/newuser.
(b) But, if you do it from System Settings  User Accounts  -  Delete 
Files, although it deletes /home/newuser, it does not delete 
/home/.ecryptfs/newuser.

6. Recreate the new user with the same password as before.

7. Log into the new user; you will still see the previous file that you
created.

2012-05-23 Thread Paddy Landau
Public bug reported:

When I log out and then log in again, the sound (both input and output)
is disabled.

Work-around: When I restart the machine, the sound is re-enabled.

I have attached four screen-shots (in ScreenShots.tar.bz2) to
demonstrate the problem. They are:

1 Applet working.png -- shows the applet (in the panel) in its normal state.
2 Sound settings normal.png -- shows the sound settings dialogue in its normal 
state.
3 Applet failed.png -- shows the applet (in the panel) after logging out and in 
again.
4 Sound settings empty.png -- shows the sound settings dialogue after logging 
out and in again.

[Bug 1001570] Re: Regresson: Unable to import WMF images into GIMP, or convert them using wmf2xxx

2012-05-20 Thread Paddy Landau
Clark Everetts:

Thank you for posting your work-around. I have just tested it with my
WMF files. Unfortunately, as Libre Office crops larger WMF files, the
saved-as pictures are also cropped, and I have no way around that. For
me, the only work-around remains either running 10.04 in a virtual
machine or booting into Windows.

I clearly hear what you say about working to a deadline, as that affects
me every month!

You say you may have an inkling of the problem. I am crossing my fingers
that you do find the problem -- good luck!

[Bug 1001570] [NEW] Regresson: Unable to import WMF images into GIMP, or convert them using wmf2xxx

2012-05-19 Thread Paddy Landau
Public bug reported:

I have put the package on this bug as GIMP, but seeing the range of
problems (described below), it is probably something else.

SUMMARY:

1. In Lucid 10.04, GIMP would flawlessly import WMF files.

2. Starting Maverick 10.10, it would not work.

3. There was, at least, a work-around, in that the tools wmf2xxx could
convert the files into a different format (e.g. EPS), which GIMP could
import.

4. But with Precise 12.04, even that work-around fails.

MORE INFORMATION:

* When trying to open a file with GIMP, GIMP incorrectly recognises the
WMF dimensions as having dimensions of -1x-1 (see attached screen-shot),
and having negative X and Y ratios. GIMP will allow you to correct the
width and height, but not the resolution, making importing impossible.

* wmf2xxx fails with error code 1 but no error message.

* convert (from ImageMagick) fails with error code 1 and the message:
failed to scan file `t2.wmf' @ error/wmf.c/ReadWMFImage/186.

* Surprisingly, Libre Office Writer and Draw are able to import WMF
files. Unfortunately, Libre Office crops the images, so that they anyway
cannot be used.

This regression has been hanging around for 19 months, and really needs
fixing. The only remaining work-around is to either boot into Windows or
run 10.04 in a virtual machine, neither of which is an acceptable
solution.

[Bug 995885] Re: Custom keyboard shortcuts do not work if they use the Super key

More information...

It seems to be related to the category of the shortcuts.

For example:

If I set (say) Super-D as a shortcut in one of the main categories (e.g.
Launchers  Launch Terminal), then the Super key works.

But if set in the Custom Shortcuts, then the Super key will not work.

[Bug 995885] [NEW] Custom keyboard shortcuts do not work if they use the Super key

2012-05-07 Thread Paddy Landau
Public bug reported:

Prior to Precise 12.04, you could use the Super key in shortcuts, for
example Ctrl-Super-M.

However, with 12.04, if you set a shortcut with Super, it simply does
not work. There is no error message; it just doesn't do anything.

To duplicate:

First, ensure that zenity is installed (it should be, by default).

Second, create the shortcut:

1. System Settings  Keyboard  Shortcuts  Custom Shortcuts
2. Press +.
3. Name: Test
4. Command: zenity --info --title='Test' --text='Testing shortcuts'
5. Apply.
6. Click on Disabled.
7. Press Ctrl-Alt-M

Third, test it:

1. Press Ctrl-Alt-M
2. A dialogue displays.
3. Close the dialogue.

Fourth, use the Super key:

1. Click where it says Ctrl-Alt-M
2. Press Ctrl-Super-M

Fifth, test it again:

1. Press Ctrl-Super-M
2. Nothing happens.

What should happen: A dialogue displays.

I don't know dmesg. I logged into another user and then back into my own 
(having been logged out, of course), and I have attached the results of dmesg. 
I used the command:
dmesg dmesg-2011-03-11.lst

Let me know if I can do anything else to assist.

[Bug 693446] Re: Switch user loses session and logs out

2011-03-11 Thread Paddy Landau
I'm amazed... the second time I did the process, it did not log me out.
That's the first time that's happened since I installed 10.04 (I used to
have 8.04). However, after I restarted my computer, it went back to
normal (crashing me when logging into another user).

I have attached Xorg.0.log after repeating the problem. I will attach
Xorg.0.log.old in a moment.

Thank you for taking the time to look at this.

I repeated the exercise with 10.10 and I could not duplicate the issue.

So, I suspect that the problem has been resolved in 10.10.

2010-12-23 Thread Paddy Landau
I have reinstalled 10.04.1 from scratch (in a fresh partition on an
external hard drive, so there is no customisation); run Update Manager
to install all updates; rebooted; and created a new user.

I still get the same error.

I have attached the logs from /var/log/gdm.

[Bug 693446] [NEW] Switch user loses session and logs out

2010-12-22 Thread Paddy Landau
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdm

When using switch user, the original user gets logged out.

More detail:
- First user logs in.
- Switch user -- login screen shows first user still logged in.
- Second user logs in.
- Second user logs out.
- Login screen shows first user logged out. First user can log in again but 
original session has been lost.

Error message in the GDM logs:

Window manager warning: Failed to read saved session file
/var/lib/gdm/.config/metacity/sessions/102269cdd64f9053f912832558941806220038330002.ms:

No such file or directory

Canonical says, when you switch user it creates a saved session, but
upon return that file is gone.

I have attached my logs from /var/log/gdm.

[Bug 259054] [NEW] Create Archive on a folder from nautilus doesn't work properly when a parent directory name contains an ampersand

2008-08-18 Thread Paddy Landau
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

Ubuntu 8.04.1
GNOME nautilus 2.22.3

REPRODUCING THE PROBLEM

1. Start nautilus.
2. Right-click any subfolder and select Create Archive...
3. Press Create.

Normally, this correctly creates an archive containing the folder and
all its files and subfolders.

However, if any of the folder's parent directories contains an ampersand
in the name, the creation fails. The exact failure depends on the
archive type chosen, as follows.

SYMPTOMS

.tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tar.lzma, .tar
Reports that it cannot stat a file within the directory, where the file name is 
the last letter of the directory name (e.g. testing/g: Cannot stat: No such 
file or directory). The archive contains only the top directory without any 
files.

.zip, .ear, .jar, .war
No error message (appears to work), but the archive contains only the top 
directory without any files.

.rar
Works correctly.

.ar
No error message, but no archive is created.

WORKAROUND

Ensure that no parent directory contains an ampersand in its name.
