[Touch-packages] [Bug 1882157] [NEW] Can't report bug on package you have replaced

2020-06-04 Thread whitis
Public bug reported:

Ubuntu-bug will not let you report a bug if you have upgraded a package
using external sources.

Package zoom was so old the server rejected it.   Downloaded the new
.deb file from upstream source.  Now I can't report a bug on zoom that
the package is so far out of date.

Similarly, if a package is so broken you can't install it, it won't let
you report a bug.

Just note that you can't collect the data and do your job.

2019-09-30 Thread whitis
I would also point out not only is the recursive interpretation of
--install-suggests incorrect, it is internally inconsistent.

apt-get --dry-run remove --purge -o APT::AutoRemove::Suggests-
Important=0 --auto-remove geda geda-utils geda-examples kicad kicad-doc-
en librecad oregano qelectrotech xcircuit gerbv pcb pcb-gtk pcb-common
pcb-rnd pcb2gcode visolate caneda fritzing

Does not appear to recurse.   Neither does substituting "autoremove" for
"purge" or trying to remove suggests on "clang" the same way.

--install-suggests and install-recommends should default to a recursion
level of 1 and allow you to specify a greater level of recursion in the
unlikely event you desire.

  In this case, something installed clang which depends on clang-6.0.   
clang-6.0 very foolishly suggested gnustep which, since apt inappropriately 
applied --installed-suggests many layers down the dependency tree, then 
installed the entire gnustep suite of applications.   Gnustep, after several 
more layers of inappropriate suggestsions, caused roaraudio to be installed 
which caused errors on every apt-get install command.

  aptitude why roaraudio
  i   clang  Depends  clang-6.0 (>= 6.0~)
  i A clang-6.0  Suggests gnustep
  i A gnustepSuggests mpdcon.app 
  i A mpdcon.app Suggests mpd
  i A mpdDepends  libroar2   
  i A libroar2   Suggests libmuroar0 
  i A libmuroar0 Suggests roaraudio | muroard

  clang later gets installed explicitly, so I cant trace the specific
  path back to the CAD packages that were installed but clang-6.0 and
  roaraudio are first installed after the listed apt-get command above.
  Which ultimately installs 2675 packages.   Tracing forward with
  debtree --with-suggests also doesn't make it clear why clang was
  installed but debtree doesn't include dependencies of recommended
  packages.

  
  The actual recommends of these packages listed on the apt-get command were 
rather modest:
  Recommends: geda-gsymcheck, geda-gattrib
  Recommends: geda
  Recommends: xsltproc
  Recommends: gnucap
  Recommends: qelectrotech-examples (= 1:0.5-2), qelectrotech-data (= 1:0.5-2), 
qttranslations5-l10n
  Recommends: extra-xdg-menus
  Recommends: extra-xdg-menus

  The following command suggests that a single package, geda, is sufficient to 
reproduce the bug.
  apt-rdepends --follow=Depends,PreDepends,Suggests,Recommends geda | fgrep -i 
clang
  It also shows that adding Suggests blows up the dependency tree from 664 
lines of dependency info to 49965 lines corresponding to 5865 unique packages 
vs 173.

  clang traces back to i18nspector (through python), though it isn't
  clear why that was needed.  It may trace baqck to check-all-the-things
  and from ther to devscripts but for some reason that isn't included in
  the apt-rdepends output. debmake, gem2deb, git-buildpackage,
  javahelper, duck, devscripts-el, svn-buildpackage, and mozzila-
  devscipts all depend on devscripts.   Like many dependencies that
  should not have been followed, check-all-the-things was only a
  suggests.

  i18nspector -> python3-rply -> python3-appdirs -> clang/clang-6.0

  This debacle left me with about 6368 packages installed and about 20GB
  of extra disk space wasted compared to running a fairly similar set of
  many apt-get commands, without selectively including --install-
  recommends on a few, on another machine.  And ultimately, it appears
  will be necessary to completely reinstall this computer from scratch
  to undo the damage.   In total, there were only about 50 packages
  included in "Suggests" without recursion.

  Not only does --install-suggests behave incorrectly but the man page
  fails to document this destructive behavior.

2019-09-30 Thread whitis
The claim that it does what it says it does is false.

What it, in fact does, is consider suggested packages of OTHER packages
as a dependency for installing.   This recursive behavior is not
advertised and not acceptable.   For that behavior, one should have to
use an option such as --install-suggests-recursive and not --install-
suggests.


There is an enormous difference between installing the packages suggested by 
the package geda and installing the packages suggested many levels deep.   Even 
without a defective suggests list, this would not be expected or desired 
behavior.

read the word zoom, now you cant see the control, move to see the control now 
you can't see the word.  But in this case, you can actually get there.  
 - turn zoom back on
 - move mouse pointer to upper right hand corner.  Make sure either the 
universal access or the system menu is pulled down
 - move mouse down and left to the words "sound keys" in the settings menu 
(control panel,
 not the pull down menu) for universal access.  Leave the mouse pointer 
there for a 
 few seconds.   Display will pan to upper right hand corner without 
permission.
  - If you repeat this without either of the two pull down menus activated, 
it will jump
to the highlighted "Universal Access" on the left side of the settings 
window.
 This jumping action severely interfered with issuing screenshot commands 
in terminal and
 it will interfere with many other operations as well.   


  


Behavior of program suggests that the screen is being composited of the 
following elements:
   - desktop background
   - application window 1
   - application window 2
   - application window 3 ...
   - top panel
   - left panel (launcher)
   - pull down menu
The first four items appear to be correctly composited together before applying 
the zoom and pan operation but the last three appear to not be composited onto 
the desktop+applications before zoom and pan is applied.  The size of their 
windows has not been enlarged, only the contents.

Add to paragraph about obfuscating the identity of the programs the user
is interacting with: Universal Pull down menu also doesn't have "Help"
or report bug menu items.

Title:
  universal access zoom unusable

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  
  Filed by mark on behalf of low vision user Ken.   Ken is able to read 56 
point type without magnification at normal reading distance and can barely read 
the universal access "large text" from a distance of about 2.5 inches from a 
26inch monitor at 1360x768.   So he really needs magnification and a lot more 
than the 2x default I used here for testing.   We do not live in the same town 
so providing additional details would be slow.

  Turned on zoom from the universal access button on top panel.
  Default settings were used including Zoom = 2.0, screen part = full

  Several areas are corrupted.  These zoom and scroll separately from
  the rest of the screen and in a way that severely impairs use as
  portions may not ever be visible.   Portions of these subwindows
  cannot be used because you have to move the mouse off them to be able
  see them so you can either see or click but not both.

  These areas are:
- The top panel
- The left panel (launcher)  (intermittently)
- pull down menus, particularly the universal access pull down from the top 
panel

  
  Also, the zoom randomly every couple seconds. jumps to a different position 
without the user's consent.   This appeared to be because text was printed by a 
program running in the terminal window (long apt-get install) but continued to 
happen even when that window was minimized and even when that program stopped 
printing.

  These problems persisted with all the other zoom modes.   One mode,
  however, created new bugs.  With "magnifier extends outside of
  screen", you lose the ability to see the top and left panels at all;
  you can pan over where they would be but they are not drawn.   Can't
  open the pulldown menu since 

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1656667] [NEW] unattended-upgrade running without permission on thumbdrive

2017-01-15 Thread whitis
Public bug reported:

I was using a thumbdrive freshly created with unetbootin with Ubuntu
16.04 LTS and a 2GB persistent partition on a VAIO VPCEB42FM laptop to
copy failed hard drive to replacement hard drive.   During this critical
recovery operation, system was unresponsive and I discovered that dpkg
was running a command to install upgrades for more packages than would
fit on one screen without line breaks.   It was invoked  by unattended-
upgrade.   I would not have given unattended-upgrade permission to
install upgrades on a hard-drive, let alone on a usb thumb drive.

  
killed using killall before reporting bug.  Relavent portions of ps output 
pasted below from terminal buffer:
