[Touch-packages] [Bug 1872209] [NEW] syntax error message in f-string doesn't report line number
Public bug reported: I accidentally came across this annoying 'feature' or more likely, bug. The following code f"...foo ... {**kwargs} ..." produces a very basic syntax error message with no line number in the source file: File "", line 1 (**kwargs) ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax This is the error message I would expect from the interpreter, but not when running a python script. A demo script is as follows: ''' f-string bug demonstration ''' def main(*args, **kwargs): print(f"main() called with *args={*args}, **kwargs={**kwargs}") With a longer python file, it is hard to find the offending line.

Re: [Touch-packages] [Bug 1375194] Re: lightdm session constantly switches screen appearance
Dear Christopher, Thank you for your suggestion to update the BIOS: I have done this and dmidecode now shows BIOS version as 1801, dated 09/10/2010. I may need to take my PC apart before testing the results, as I have installed a new graphics card as a workaround, and I need to remove this before testing, so please bear with me and I'll update the bug status when I have done this. Thanks again for your attention to this. Simon Lambourn. On 23/02/15 00:49, Christopher M. Penalver wrote: > Simon Lambourn, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu > better.

There were about 20-30 packages updated at the same time, including linux-image, but I can't spot which might be causing the problem. I'm using a clean install of ubuntu 14.04 but with my /home directory from an older ubuntu installation.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1375194] [NEW] lightdm session constantly switches screen appearance
Public bug reported: After installing regular software updates on 23 Sept, my screen session has become almost unusable. The screen "appearance" (font, button style, window menu bar location) alternates about twice a second between my usual settings and what I guess are the default un-decorated settings. This means that text, buttons, and input areas are often moving around on the screen as the font size changes or the window menu bar comes and goes. In addition, keyboard input characters take a variable time to appear (up to a few seconds?) and can appear in the wrong order. CPU utilisation is much higher when I am logged on. See TOP output below. I get the same problems with any one of Chromium, Firefox, Thunderbird, Ubuntu Software Centre, BASH terminal window. When I first sign on, I get a message "system software problem detected" in a panel by itself, before the desktop is displayed, and again after the desktop is displayed. This is connected with the bug, but I can't find out the details of the error. I have selected "report the problem" repeatedly. The software installed on 23 Sept included Dbus , libdbus-1-3, and dbus-x11 versions 1.6.18-0ubuntu4.2. I tried downgrading these 3 to -0ubuntu4 but the problem remained after a reboot. There were about 20-30 packages updated at the same time, including linux-image, but I can't spot which might be causing the problem. I'm using a clean install of ubuntu 14.04 but with my /home directory from an older ubuntu installation.
