It doesn't matter where you move the directory to, if it can't be
stat(2)'d then it's a POSIX violation and breaks programs.  The example
of a user running rsync on their home directory doesn't mean that's the
only situation that should work.

[Bug 877429] [NEW] Manual resize of window required after Best Fit

2011-10-18 Thread Ralph Corderoy
Public bug reported:

Maximise evince with an A4 PDF, hit Best Fit, page fills vertical space,
much horizontal space empty.  I now have to manually resize the evince
window to be narrower until the waste is tolerable.  It would be nice if
evince itself let me ask it to minimise its window for the current size
selected, e.g.  50%.  It would do a better job than my manual resize and
be quicker.

[Bug 225361] Re: other users don't have access to .gvfs

2011-01-02 Thread Ralph Corderoy
rsync isn't trying to include .gvfs even with the -x option.  It along
with find(1), etc., has to be able to do some things with .gvfs to even
work out it is the mount point of another filesystem and shouldn't be
descended into further.  Those things fail in a way that they never
should with Unix semantics for root.  You're just seeing other symptoms
of the same underlying problem;  FUSE's configuration not allowing root
to do anything, as it normally can.  But this bug report isn't the place
for discussion, I suspect.  I just wanted to clarify that there isn't a
further bug.

Re: [Bug 18572] Re: modem_applet: waitpid()'s return value causes wedging.

2010-06-08 Thread Ralph Corderoy

I've obtained gnome-applets_2.30.0.orig.tar.gz and
gnome-applets_2.30.0-0ubuntu2.diff which I think are 10.04's.  The
original code is as above when I opened the bug although the line
numbers are slightly different.  The diff doesn't change them in any
way.  12_modem_applet_waitpid_fix.patch still applies OK with an offset
of -15 lines.

So the problem remains in the code.  My concern over the patch remains,
detailed in #3 above.  waitpid() is clearly being wrongly used.  That
can be fixed without further test results.  Then the underlying problem
may come to light once the code processes waitpid's response properly.

Why is this bug closed?  Disabling polling should seem to do just that,
stop the frequent polling.  I don't see why it should stop things
working when the user initiates the action;  surely a one-off poll
should be done then.  And the WARNING **: Error getting media type
diagnostic is very confusing to the normal user.  Luckily, Google found
this bug for me so I know the workaround, but it shouldn't be necessary.

  I understand this configuration of FUSE has been chosen because of
  security concerns, as opposed to using its allow_users or allow_root
  options.
 
 This is not a valid concern. In Ubuntu, allow_root is by default
 enabled in /etc/fuse.conf.

In my untouched 8.04 /etc/fuse.conf, both mount_max and user_allow_other
are commented out, meaning the file has no active options.

 So even if gvfs does not use --allow-root, a malicious user can simply
 mount a filesystem of his choice manually and with --allow-root.

It's my understanding that Ubuntu have set up automounting of user
filesystems (non-FUSE ones) so a malicious user can have root mount
their concocted filesystem anyway, so I'm not sure what the current
troublesome, non-Unix, FUSE configuration is protecting us from?

 That is really just a contributing factor, not the problem.  The

It is a bug in that, under Unix, by design, that should *never* happen
to a process running as root.

 The utilities in question shouldn't be messing with .gvfs in the first
 place, so a simple solution is to move it somewhere they aren't going
 to run into it.

Sorry, that's not possible.  As root, it's entirely valid, and not
uncommon, for me to run `find / ...' which will descend and find .gvfs
wherever to decide to move it to.

Nikolaus Rath and S B, take a look at my earlier comment

understand this configuration of FUSE has been chosen because of
security concerns, as opposed to using its allow_users or allow_root

automatically mounts the filesystems on a USB flash drive I insert, and
I doubt every piece of filesystem code in the kernel is robust against
maliciously concocted corrupt filesystems.

2008-08-22 Thread Ralph Corderoy
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

Ubuntu 8.04, gnome-panel 1:2.22.2-0ubuntu1.1.

On occasion, when iconising a window using Alt-F9 the black rectangle
animation that follows causes corruption on an existing button for a
window in the gnome-panel, see attached gnome-panel_corruption.png 
showing the top of the screen.  The XChat button should be tinted
`current window' orange but slivers of it corresponding the rectangles 
that passed across it have been rendered in `non-current window' gray.

This has happened in various Ubuntus since at least 5.04.

[ 8' and `ESC [ 4' escape sequences to alter the size of the terminal
window.

# Sets terminal to 100x40 characters.
$ echo -n '@[8;40;100t' | tr @ \\033
# Sets terminal to 200x200 pixels.
$ echo -n '@[4;200;200t' | tr @ \\033

gnome-terminal doesn't, which is wrong.  This is despite vte's vteapp.c'
resize_window() which tries to handle both escape sequences.  I suspect
there's something lacking in gnome-terminal to make use of this.

Not supporting these escape sequences means gnome-terminal, the default
Ubuntu terminal, is unsuitable for some legacy console apps, and it also
means it's not possible to work around bug #217167.

[Bug 217167] gnome-terminal is Always 80x24. No global or per-profile setting available.

2008-08-17 Thread Ralph Corderoy

Hi Sam, my `global' in the bug's title means `not per-profile for a
single user', not `for all gnome-terminals across all users', so
although that solution may work for you, I have other users on this
machine so it isn't suitable.  And files under /usr/share aren't
intended to be edited by a user or admin. of the machine.

I think this bug is probably really two.  The lack of configurability
over the terminal size, with per-profile settings, means I can't, for
example, quickly open a new log-file monitoring terminal, or a new IRC
client one.  A user can match profiles to uses rather than just
appearance, e.g. a dark blue background is log-file monitoring with a
small font size but that needs a particular terminal size too.

The second issue is gnome-terminal's lack of compliance with the `ESC [
8' and `ESC [ 4' sequences.  This is a hard, concrete bug;  not a
`wishlist' item.  I've opened a second bug for that, bug #258775, so
this bug can concentrate on the lack of per-profile setting.

[Bug 251105] Re: `tput init' works inconsistently in gnome-terminal, but not xterm, etc.

2008-08-16 Thread Ralph Corderoy
Hi Pedro, Thanks, I found
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses#Needing+testing+in+the+development+release
and followed the instructions there.

Under qemu using Intredpid Alpha 3 with gnome-terminal 2.23.4.2-0ubunut2
and libvte9 1:0.16.14-1ubuntu1, I can re-produce the bug.  The attached
screenshot has three red Ys in the first `tput init' output and two in
the second, none in the third.  This is a lower frequency than with 8.04
but I suspect this is just a side effect of using qemu as I think the
bug is a timing issue in VTE's handling of escape sequences.  With qemu,
a whole load of XYs would draw on the screen at once.  Natively, I can
see them appearing one by one.

2008-08-16 Thread Ralph Corderoy

Hi Sam, thanks for the pointers.  The first isn't suitable because it's
editing a file that isn't intended to be edited by the user and also
changes the size for all users on the machine, not just me!  :-)  The
second shows others are having the same issue but there's no solution to
have per-profile default sizes.

I think the fact that the `ESC [ 8' escape sequence doesn't work in
gnome-terminal despite vte's resize_window() code also suggests this is
a valid bug.

Re: [Bug 208837] Re: Esc [ 1 8 t Response doesn't match xterm.

2008-08-14 Thread Ralph Corderoy

Hi Pedro, sorry, I wasn't clear.  The ^[ seen in the single quotes in my
examples is a literal escape character typed as `Ctrl-V Escape'.  If
xterm is giving `^[[18t' back then that suggests a circumflex and open
bracket have been given.  Try

echo -n '@[18t' | tr @ \\033; sleep 1; echo

instead which can be cut-and-pasted.  This uses tr(1) to turn the `@'
into an ASCII ESC.

BTW, is this a correct use of the Incomplete status?  I gave a very full

Hi CalcProgrammer1, you're being a bit unclear.  I WANT others to

creating and deleting files too?  If the latter, then I don't know of a
workaround since my suggestion above, cd  chmod go-w . .dmrc, removes
write access for others to your home directory.  Could you instead have
a subdirectory of $HOME, give that permissions 777, and use that as the
directory that all and sundry can fiddle with?

[Bug 251105] [NEW] `tput init' works inconsistently in gnome-terminal, but not xterm, etc.

2008-07-23 Thread Ralph Corderoy
Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 8.04, gnome-terminal 2.22.1-0ubuntu2, libvte9 1:0.16.13-1ubuntu1.

Using tput(1) to send the terminal's terminfo init string to
gnome-terminal, and hence vte as I understand it, gives inconsistent
results.  It often fails to initialise the terminal back to its
defaults.

Here's a command to show the desired behaviour.

tr \\0 \\012 /dev/zero | head -100 |
while read f; do tput setf 4; printf X; tput setf 0; printf Y; done

It gives an alternating sequence of red X's and black Y's.  Replacing
the `setf 0', which is setting the foreground colour to black, with
`init', as in

tr \\0 \\012 /dev/zero | head -100 |
while read f; do tput setf 4; printf X; tput init; printf Y; done

gives many red Y's, i.e. the `tput init' is *sometimes* failing to have
effect.  I suspect it's a subtle timing issue where vte is examining the
time between characters in escape sequences to determine if they are, in
fact, an escape *sequence*.

Note, xterm(1), and other terminal emulators I've tried, give consistent
results, the `tput init' is always interpreted the same way.

Here's a couple of bits of information that may be useful to confirm it
isn't something odd on my local setup.

$ echo $TERM
xterm
$ tput init | od -c
000 033   [   !   p 033   [   ?   3   ;   4   l 033   [   4   l 033
020   
021
$ 

This bug causes legacy programs that work consistently on other Unix and
Linux systems to have display glitches with varying impact depending on
when vte decides not to honour the request.  The red/black XYs is just
my simplification.  :-)

2008-06-13 Thread Ralph Corderoy
Interesting.  There's a couple of differences in the .gvfs inode between
the two of us.  Your perms are 0700, mine are 0500.  Your access time is
today but your modify and change aren't, all three of mine are the same
value.  Do you have anything mounted on .gvfs, if not, perhaps it's just
a normal directory now in your system?  Anyway, I am up to date with the
8.04 packages and I still get the problem.

Re: [Bug 225361] Re: Superuser cannot access ~/.gvfs folder when mounted

2008-06-07 Thread Ralph Corderoy

 what about --exclude=~/.gvfs ?

I don't think most shells will expand the tilde when it's not at the
start of a word like that.

$ echo --exclude=~/foo
--exclude=~/foo
$ 

The problem here isn't that the issue can't be worked around, typically
adding an --exclude or several as Chris Hines points out, but that it
shouldn't be neccessary;  the basic Unix premise that root can stat the
inode has been broken.

I assume that FUSE's allow_users and allow_root options aren't being
used because they'd allow a plain user to DoS root.  However, isn't a
plain user already allowed to plug in a USB flash drive with a
filesystem on it and have the system mount that?  Do all filesystems
rigorously detect hierarchy loops, etc., caused by a malicious user
tweaking the filesystem's structures manually before the system kindly
mounting it for them;  something normally only root could do?

[Bug 225361] Re: Superuser cannot access ~/.gvfs folder when mounted

2008-05-23 Thread Ralph Corderoy
I'd argue that, based on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance, this
bug's Importance should be Medium.  As described in the duplicate I
raised, things like automatically checking the success of a daily tar(1)
now fails because it always exits with a non-zero status instead of only
rarely:

For ~/.gvfs to not follow normal Unix semantics is a major pain.  As
root, one can normally tar up a user's home directory, perhaps as part
of a daily backup regime, without problems.  That's the point of running
it as root.  Since the introduction of ~/.gvfs:

$ sudo tar cf /dev/null .gvfs .bash_profile
tar: .gvfs: Cannot stat: Permission denied
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
$ echo $?
2
$

So checking the exit status of tar for any backups problems now fails.
Every day.

I'd argue tar is pretty core and it's having a medium or severe impact,
as outlined under Medium.

[Bug 234158] [NEW] URL-related menu items don't appear if pointer is on bottom pixel of URL

2008-05-22 Thread Ralph Corderoy
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

Ubuntu 8.04, gnome-terminal 2.22.1-0ubuntu2.

Take a URL in a gnome-terminal, the pointer can be moved over it, the
URL is underlined, and mouse button 3 will bring up a context menu with
Open Link, etc.

However, if that same URL is approached from below, a pixel at a time,
and the pointer stops moving when the underline appears, and then button
3 is pressed, the context menu is lacking the URL related items.  This
is despite the visual feedback of the URL being underlined.

Similarly, if the URL is approached from above, moving the pointer down
a pixel at a time until the underline appears, and then the pointer is
move back up a pixel so the underline goes, the context menu *contains*
the URL related items even though the visual feedback said it shouldn't
because of the lack of underlining.

It seems the coordinates used to determine when to underline are one-off
from the calculation of when the context menu should contain URL-related
items.  There's also a one-off error left/right as opposed up/down.

I found this because I got fed up of having an underlined URL yet the
menu not containing Open Link.  I was sure I hadn't moved the mouse in
the meantime, and I hadn't;  I was just on the bottom row for pixels for
the URL.  So it's not theoretical but bites in real life.

User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored.  This prevents the default

That seems to match what the code checks and be clear.  It's warning

To avoid this, do cd  chmod go-w . .dmrc to remove `write'

Olav deleted them;  see my comment #46.  Olav is insisting that
reverting isn't an option and someone must write a new patch that
provides a three-way option, Blink, Don't blink, Use system default.

In lieu of a useful change from Gnome, perhaps Jay Cornwall's patch can
be examined to see if Ubuntu can pick it up directly?

2008-05-04 Thread Ralph Corderoy
I understand this is a Gnome change, but they've applied logic a step
too far.  There's a big physical difference between a one-pixel-wide
cursor used in Gtk+ text areas, etc., and a one-character-filled-
rectangle used by gnome-terminal.  The former I want to blink because it
can be hard to spot.  The latter is easy to spot and its blinking is a
distraction, just like animated ads or blink text on a web page;  and we
block those!

I see why it was set to Invalid, this isn't a bug but a `feature'
imposed by Gnome.  But it is a bug because they made it based on them
both being `cursors' without regard for their different physical
appearance, so I'm setting this bug to Confirmed.  There seems to be a
considerable body of people that had the two cursors with different
blink settings.

[Bug 225644] Re: gnome-help Suffers g_filename_to_uri() assertion failure.

2008-05-02 Thread Ralph Corderoy
Sigh, should have thought of that.  OK, I've got a friend with 8.04 to
look and it works fine.  The gnome-help line above doesn't segfault but
politely complains.  And the Help on Dominosa menu item runs `yelp
/usr/share/sgt-puzzles/help/dominosa.html' which works fine.  Sorry for
the noise.

Status: Incomplete = Invalid

As an aside, maybe a bug status meaning `valid bug already fixed in
later version' would be nice.  Invalid suggests that it wasn't a bug,
which isn't true.  And having a separate status would let them be
separated in the statistics.

[Bug 217167] Re: gnome-terminal is Always 80x24. No global or per-profile setting available.

2008-04-15 Thread Ralph Corderoy
I've also found that rxvt 1:2.6.4-12 responds correctly to the two
printf(1)s above.  So gnome-terminal is so far the only one that
doesn't.

2008-04-14 Thread Ralph Corderoy
This is on a standard Ubuntu 7.10, gnome-terminal 2.18.2-0ubuntu1.

As you can't cut and paste those echo(1)s above, here's some printf(1)
equivalents.

$ printf '\x1b[8;40;100t'
$ printf '\x1b[4;200;200t'

[Bug 208837] Re: Esc [ 1 8 t Response doesn't match xterm.

2008-03-29 Thread Ralph Corderoy
There are other similar faults where the response is incorrect in that
same function.

^[[13t response should be ^[[3;x;yt but is ^[[x;yt.
^[[14t response should be ^[[4;h;wt but is ^[[h;wt.
^[[19t response should be ^[[9;h;wt but is ^[[h;wt.

On a similar note, although ^[[20t is handled correctly in responding
with the icon's label, the response to ^[[21t also outputs an `L' when
it should be using a lowercase `l'.  The above URL and xterm confirm
lowercase `l' for 21 is the correct behaviour.

[Bug 208837] [NEW] Esc [ 1 8 t Response doesn't match xterm.

2008-03-29 Thread Ralph Corderoy
Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 7.10.  The escape sequence Esc [ 1 8 t is meant to make the
terminal reply with the height and width of the current window
characters.  It's handled in vte-0.16.9/src/vteseq.c, line 3865.  The
output on gnome-terminal is different to the xterm from xterm-229-1.

Here's the correct, xterm, behaviour.

$ echo -n '^[[18t'; sleep 1; echo
^[[8;24;80t
$

And the gnome-terminal:

$ echo -n '^[[18t' ; sleep 1; echo
^[[24;80t
$

There should be an 8; before the height of 24.  This in theory allows
the string to be echoed back to the terminal to restore this size in the
future.

As well as xterm providing different behaviour, I've found various
references on the Internet, e.g. http://invisible-
island.net/xterm/ctlseqs/ctlseqs.html, which also suggest vte is wrong.

[Bug 163451] Re: Unable to run GNOME Font Viewer in Ubuntu 7.10 from menu

2008-03-26 Thread Ralph Corderoy
I've just followed Jonathan Fritz's path.  Having freshly installed 7.10
I did System - Preferences - Main Menu to see what could be changed.
Finding Applications - Other - Gnome Font Viewer I thought it sounded
useful and ticked it.  Selecting the newly appeared menu item show a
minimised button in the panel saying starting which disappears after a
bit.  The user is left confused and puzzled and has to waste time
investigating.

If it doesn't make sense to run it from a menu then it shouldn't be
there in the menu choices for the user to trip over.  It would be nice
if some effort can be made to see if it can be removed without impacting
its use an a Nautilus action.

[Bug 82378] Re: [network-admin] creates /etc/ppp/peers/ppp0 without noauth

2007-02-09 Thread Ralph Corderoy
I've just installed Ubuntu 6.10 and have hit this problem having used
System - Administration - Networking to configure the modem.
/etc/ppp/peers/ppp0 doesn't contain noauth, unlike a much older version
of Ubuntu I used to use, probably 5.04.  Consequently, pppd complains
during `ifup ppp0' as described above.  The vanilla 6.10 install has
left me with gnome-system-tools 2.15.5-0ubuntu2.

[Bug 49134] apt-get upgrade of gdm reports default-display-manager ENOENT.

2006-06-09 Thread Ralph Corderoy
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdm

Did `apt-get upgrade' on recent 6.06 and gdm was to be upgraded to
2.14.6-0ubuntu2.1.  Output included error from grep:

Setting up libfreetype6 (2.1.10-1ubuntu2.1) ...

Setting up gdm (2.14.6-0ubuntu2.1) ...
grep: /etc/X11/default-display-manager: No such file or directory
 * Reloading GNOME Display Manager configuration... 
 * Changes will take effect when all current X sessions have ended.

 [ ok ]

Setting up libpq4 (8.1.4-0ubuntu1) ...

I realise the upgrade probably went OK, but the error from grep
shouldn't appear.

2006-06-09 Thread Ralph Corderoy
gdm's postinst has code like

DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER_FILE=/etc/X11/default-display-manager
case $1 in
configure)
if grep /usr/bin/gdm $DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER_FILE; then
echo /usr/sbin/gdm  $DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER_FILE
fi
;;
esac

which doesn't check /etc/X11/default-display-manager exists before
grepping it.

Elsewhere, debian/* files do check /etc/X11/default-display-manager
exists before reading it.  debian/changelog says

gdm (2.8.0.0-0ubuntu1) breezy; urgency=low
  * debian/postinst:
- update the gdm value for default-display-manager.
