[Bug 237941]

[André Pirard]

If we get the "open parent folder" working again, it would be a great help in 
finding the searched keyword in a bookmark, jumping to the parent folder and 
reaching the list of associated bookmarks.
As a kludge, one can create a dummy bookmark with the exact name of its folder.
Thought in Wallonia.

[Bug 237941]

[André Pirard]

I'm not sure what "column" you would like and where.
A folder icon would be sufficient in the hit list.

But if one puts in a folder one URL named "folder folder's name (keywords)" to 
find, that should be sufficient.
There was a very nice "open parent folder" extension to right click that URL 
and open the folder it's in.
But Mozilla killed its developer.
The only thing needed is not killing developers.

[Bug 1771113] [NEW] window title bar roll up should restore window where it was

[André Pirard]

Public bug reported:

1-2) I'm using marco on MATE 16.04 but this ticket's scope is wider than that 
(since 12.04).
Please reassign if not a window manager issue, or if more than one.

4) User clicks a title bar to roll up a window.
Great feature to later find and get back to suspended current work.
Now he finds that the bar is in the way and he moves it (he rearranges them).
Later, he clicks on the bar to restore the window.
And the windows opens where the rearranged title bar was moved.
3) The user most probably wants it restored where it was before roll-up.
5) TIA for your attention.

[Bug 1754458] Re: nm-applet symbol not displayed on mate (18.04)

[André Pirard]

After installing a 18.04 that couldn't be fresher,
I added the applet  Indicator Applet Complete
and now I've got in a bunch:
that Network Manager applet that was missing (that of 16.04.4 was badly working 
after suspend)
a Battery applet that was missing too
a duplicate Sound applet
a Mixed applet (Monitor, Help, Settings, Lock/Switch, users, Log out…, 
Suspend…, Shutdown)

I once suggested that there should be a Fix/Workaround Panel beside Bug 
Description.
Just to spare having to read down to here.
They replied "No": the systems must be up-to-date.
Mine couldn't be more.

[Bug 12893] Re: Shouldn't put .Trash-$USER on removable devices

[André Pirard]

I was asking "what solution was used?" because I can't really find out if my 
suggestion was considered.
Do not create /.Trash-$USER directories but $USER directories in /.Trash and 
only if that directory exists.
So, the user chooses if he/she/it wants a trash by creating /.Trash or not when 
formating or with a utility.

[Bug 1082215] Re: Writing on a certain USB HDD causes corruption

[André Pirard]

I am one of the victims of the bug described above.
In fact, my neigbour is the victim: Ubuntu destroyed her Windows partition.
I was trying to help her.
That is more than a reason to turn people away from Linux.
But what is written here above is another reason.
It is perfectly incomprehensible.

For the sake of Ubuntu, may I once again recommend:

- to add keywords of the bug description to indicate the affected versions 
(starting kernel X, fixed in Y)
- to mark as important such things as data destruction, to tick "affects you" 
(and allow anyone to tick?)
- in addition to "Bug description", to create a "Bug correction" in which any 
Ubuntu user can find in words he understands how to correct or circumvent his 
problem *in the system version he is using*.
No "fixed", "patch released" or "upgrade" please.
- in case the problem occurs with a particular hardware, to insistingly ask the 
manufacturers to indicate in their specifications "Supported OS: Linux kernel ≥ 
X or Ubuntu ≥ Y".

It would have saved me days used to run tests, to find out the reason and the 
correction.
And most of all, it would have saved my neighbour's disk !!!

+ Description:

  I bought an external USB enclosure for a SATA 2.5" hard drive. When using 
this USB drive with Microsoft Windows, it works perfectly - I have no problems 
reading and writing from/to the drive.
  However when using this USB drive in Ubuntu (10.04 as well as 12.04) I can 
read the data on the drive without a problem, however after I wrote to the 
drive I started getting corruption errors.
  
  To simplify the detection of the problem I used a new empty hard drive with 
this USB enclosure.
  I wrote zeroes on about 1GB of the start of the drive (using a different USB 
to SATA interface).
  When I read from the drive using the commands
  
  dd if=/dev/sdb of=/tmp/xxx bs=1M count=100
- hexdump -C xxx 
+ hexdump -C xxx
  
  The output of hexdump indicates that all that was read were zeroes:
  
    00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ||
  *
  0640
  
  However, after I run the following command (writes to drive):
  
  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M count=100
  
  and then these commands:
  
  dd if=/dev/sdb of=/tmp/xxx bs=1M count=100
  hexdump -C xxx  | less
  
  I get the following output:

  This indicates that although I tried to write zeroes to the drive, what
  was actually written was mostly zeroes, but also these strange blocks
  starting with "USBC". According to the dump these show up at the
  beginning of every block (block size was 1M bytes) that the 'dd' program
  wrote.

[Bug 410288] Re: Nautilus does not handle FTP timeouts well

[André Pirard]

Sebastien, bug #1416891 is about updating 12.04 LTS. to 1.20.3.
I sure would like to test it, but where can we get the fix?

The problem I see occurs when the server times out and closes the connection, 
looking like this on our side (netstat)
tcp   53  0 192.168.0.20:44879  xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:ftp  CLOSE_WAIT 
the 53 bytes to be read from the Recv-Q contain:
421 Timeout - try typing a little faster next time
gvfs-ftpd  should close that connection (or read the bytes) but it tries to use 
it instead.
The operation gets an error and, depending on which it is, may or may not close 
the connection and clear the error.
The   ls ~/.gvfs/FTP*   command  gets the connections in this state (input 
flushed and output blocked)
tcp0  7 192.168.0.20:44879  62.210.182.224:ftp  CLOSE_WAIT 
This is not enough: the ls ~/.gvfs/FTP* command must be issued twice and the 
connection closes on second time.

[Bug 1110188] Re: USC allows a package installation to uninstall vital packages

[André Pirard]

See bug #793318 for a similar horror story.
The issue is not only preventing the system to crash but hiding from the user 
all the information that Synaptic Packet Manager shows.
One of the reasons I abandoned Windows is that setup.exe is (was?) a black box 
most often without warning of what it's going to do, like replacing a component 
of the system with a more recent one but in the wrong language.
With the removal of Synaptic Packet Manager and exclusivity of blind USC, 
Ubuntu has become like Windows.
I suggest making USC controls as wonderful as SPM on demand.
Fortunately, the oder system killing bug affected only one person and was low 
priority but this one affects two and is of high priority ;-)

[Bug 12893] Re: Shouldn't put .Trash-$USER on removable devices

[André Pirard]

Тhere is on the other hand a high number of discussions of guys now
trying to make a volume trash.

The solution looks very simple to me.
Instead of automatically creating .Trash- directories with possible 
permission problems to do so,
make it a partition formatting user option to create a trash (term he 
understands) and then create
drwxrwxrwtroot root.Trash
Note the sticky bit t.
If .Trash exists when deleting a file, a  trash subdirectory is created 
without permission problem.

It might be easier to see a per volume trash than display by list sorted by 
original location.
Ejecting the volume may indeed offer to empty the trash, but only of the 
ejected volume.
It's even recommended if the volume is liable to be mounted on another system 
with different uids.
Trash creation/removal may of course occur after formatting as a Nautilus 
function.

I notice that the Trash applet does not see the volume trash of the boot
partition when its /home is a symbolic link to the mount point of a
volume.

Re: [Bug 206884] Firefox Character encoding

[André Pirard]

 (In reply to André Pirard from comment #17)
 I think that the first thing for Character Encoding Autodetect to be less
 confusing is ti say what it does.
 Assuming that it means that any indication of a character set is ignored ans
 that it is guessed by the contents...
 It means: ...

 How would you make the menu say this?
Language to [auto]detect encoding for
Language to suit [auto-detection]
... something like that

The key hint is to understand that it's a language.  I'm the reporter of
this bug and you made me discover this explanation after 5 years.  I,
and everybody according to the bug title, had looked for it all over the
place in vain.
Pity there are no HTTP links on system menus. Graphic things (No doc.
Any questions?) badly need it.

Please note that Universal is not a language and that I still do not
understand what that means. My guess was that it meant utf-8 but what
would that mean? it's not a language either.
Also, (Off) could be no encoding auto-detection to make it very clear
what we're about.

Note: I did not report this problem at all.  See Description and read below.
Alexander Sachs changed the subject to mean a problem of his.
Strange doings.  I opened another bug to be able say what I meant.
I was accused of saying things that did not happen (but that some 6
other persons met).
I was even accused of tweaking the encoding identification by forcing
the encoding of the preceding page in a test.
As if the encoding of one page influenced the encoding of the next one.
I finally shuddered and turned away to something else.
 Also, picking the character code from the HTTP request is an error because
 the contents of the page MUST specify the encoding, it knows better than an
 Apache server
 Indeed, Ruby's Postulate generally holds. Unfortunately, HTTP disagreed and 
 it's too late to change that, because it would break pages that currently 
 work due to Ruby's Postulate not being true for them.
 http://www.intertwingly.net/slides/2004/devcon/69.html

 And besides, all browser now agree on the precedence of HTTP over
 meta, so it's not worthwhile to break interoperability.
That is wrong.
MIME was intended to describe the single character set of a file that
does not provide it.
HTML self-describes it and can contain many character sets that MIME is
unable to describe.
It's like saying he speaks English of someone who says Je parle
français ik spreek vlaams и я говорю по русский
 and the browser won't update the page when it's written to a
 file.
 Firefox is supposed to if you choose the complete option in Save As...
Right and you made me notice it.
But why is it correct with a complete page and surprisingly incorrect
with a HTML one?
In fact, I met so many character handling bugs in my life that I no
longer care reporting anything.
Like that craze of removing http:// from Firefox URL bar.  This caused a
tons of bugs and I still have a stock of 12 or so.  Why the hell do that
when it was going so well, everyone in the street knew what http:// was
and started asking why one removed it?

 The only case where character encoding mangling is necessary is when, for
 example, displaying a text file of which the character set is specified
 nowhere
 Or when displaying an HTML file whose character encoding is specified
 nowhere. :-(
Sorry to say that if a HTML file contains no specification it *must* be
ISO8859-1.
That default has been decided one day and must be respected to remain
compatible with existing pages.
I was perfectly astounded by the W3C validator which stated that it was
using UTF-8 by default.
My bug report was that Firefox displayed the wrong character set, and it
was probably only when there was no specified character code.
I'm not sure that bug is corrected.
I see much less such errors, but also less pages without a charset
specification.

[Bug 1043601] Re: Sound no longer coming out of usb headset

[André Pirard]

I'm in a somewhat different case.
I recently upgraded to 12.04, updated to lately, almost now, and the sound no 
longer comes in (not from the headset but from the microphone).   In fact, 
strangely, the mike works just after a reboot but not after it has been 
unplugged (and, need I say, replugged).  The output is OK.
The device is a 04b4:0307, an ubiquitous chip found in soundcards and, in my 
case, an USB phone.

I have tested various operating systems on VirtualBox, but Unity is so
screen consuming that Ubuntu no longer works on VirtualBox and that I
could only carry the tests with LinuxMint.

The results are surprising.  It seems that as soon as Ubuntu got busy with 
Unity stuff it has no longer time to support audio.
They are here with the full lsusb:

[Bug 932935] Re: nautilus ftp file transfer hangs when transferring directories

[André Pirard]

Workaround within.

I am surprised to upgrade to 12.04 with updates up to 13.06 and to meet
this very serious problem reported 12.02 that did not exist with 10.04.

In my mind, a bug report system should contain not only a Bug description and a 
Bug Discussion sections but also a Bug solution section where the user can find 
in everybody's terms what he must do to solve the problem in the LTS system he 
is running (and not another one).
I am surprised that this doesn't seem to be Canonical's view.

In consequence, I have written the summary of what would have remained
hidden in here as an update to Bug Description to serve as a Bug
Solution/Workaround.

After upgrading to 12.04 updated 13.06, I met the bug described here.
Typically, I was unable to download a folder from the FTP server (make a 
backup).
I had the idea to work with links instead of canonical (ahem) names.
ln  -sfT   ~/.gvfs/FTP as username on hostname   my.local.alias
And there went the folder copy happily to that link.
Even made the copy test both ways simultaneously.
Well, there were a few files on which the Copy stopped with a error.
But that's because my server makes frequent size limits, aborts, timeouts and 
such.
File Copy should have a retry option and I retried manually.

Now I still have to see if another PITA remains.
Sometimes, the information obtained from a subsequetly opened FTP connection 
predates what's supposed to be accomplished on the first connection (race 
condition), such as an application creating a file and then trying to rename it 
and getting a does not exist [yet] result.

Another problem is that opening the canonical name opens Firefox instead of 
Nautilus.
Also worked around with the symbolic link.

 nobody probably cares about ftp these days ;)
Oh yes. Think twice. It's often the only way to access a free server and you 
shouldn't tell them that gvfs-ftp and Gigolo make it as easy as anything.

 it would be quite helpful if somebody experiencing it could send the bug the 
 to the people writing the software.
Ubuntu users should not be requested to know where Canonical gets its software 
and to do that.
(even a triager once sent me to the wrong place)
This bug report should be peered with an upstream bug by Canonical so that 
everybody can contribute from Launchpad without the need to make dozens of 
OpenIDless other subscriptions.
And so would the Ubuntu users get all the Ubuntu information in the Ubuntu 
database.
I've seen attempts to peer BugDBx with BugDBy.  That's a N*N effort.
Maybe create a central hub and make it a N effort?

 Adam: You’re right, nautilus doesn’t seem to remember the password. Once I 
 unmounted the FTP share, I have to re-type the password if I want to mount it 
 again. But this really seems to be a different bug.
Use Gigolo, it does it, and be happy.

Made in Belgium, with chocolate and beer ;-)

Enjoy!

  I already reproduced this bug three times, copying only worked when I tried 
to copy the files themselves and not the whole directory. The operation always 
stops around 20 megabytes.
  When I close all nautilus windows, the little copying bar still remains in

[Bug 828412] Re: installer does not allow the right country/language combination

[André Pirard]

This problem does not affect the graphical installer, so it's brilliantly 
solved it by removing the text installer ;-)
Not everyone finds  sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata  and  tzselect  trivial.
sample ;-) : 
http://askubuntu.com/questions/33025/locale-settings-are-not-right-how-can-i-reset-them
I'm even getting scolded by certain persons for suggesting commands.

BTW, it's a pity that the whole of a language must be installed (except 
Chinese?) just for using its locale.
As well as for spell-checking it, for those who don't know how to install just 
the dictionary and select it.
For example askubuntu. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1624581
Windows can use any locale and spelling despite remaining monolingual ;-)
It can even change details of a locale piece by piece.

I found no status indicating that the problem disappeared because the
component disappeared :-)

Thank you.

After 2 years, this bug reappeared in Mint (seen in MATE).
That's because they use Caja for the Desktop, I suppose.

I'm stretching patches ;-)

[Bug 263139] Re: usb device invisible until lsusb command issued

[André Pirard]

I suppose you mean there has been no Ubuntu (Canonical) activity for 3 ½ year.
I'm afraid I am a normal Ubuntu user and I cannot afford extra computers to 
test the latest, unstable development release.
In my mind and in Canonical's words, correcting bugs is not testing every new 
release to see if a correction appeared by chance, but is helping a developper 
to solve it by making diagnostic tests in the affected system and possibly 
testing corrections in it.
I wonder how you can imagine testing a sporadic problem in an unstable 
release without running for production and getting into all sorts of problems. 
NO THANKS.
Trying to help Ubuntu the way you put it is absolutely useless, I'm losing my 
time and I quit this business.

[Bug 996443] Re: use UUID=0 for this partition, e.g. in fstab

[André Pirard]

Yes, using the real well known UUID of the booting partition to replace UUID=0 
is quite possible during the boot process (egg laying time if you like).  I am 
not, of course, speaking of determining which hen^H^H^H UUID to boot, which is 
a cock^H^H^H^H pre-boot instead of boot matter.
Please note that I'm always working towards making Ubuntu usable for the 
non-geek.
It proved necessary to restate the description and I did.
Thank you.

[Bug 996443] [NEW] use UUID=0 for this partition

[André Pirard]

Public bug reported:

Any version, any release and probably any distribution.

What happens.

When GParted makes a backup of a partition, two partitions with the same UUID 
exist, which is contrary to principle.
This produces a lot of confusion if both are visible, such as one being mounted 
but the other one is locked.
If the backup UUID is changed, you get (for example) an unbootable backup 
system because fstab mounts the wrong UUID.

What should happen.

If UUID=0 meant the UUID of the partition in which this reference is located 
there would be no need to change the fstab (mounting UUID=0).
If GParted made a backup with a different UUID (by default, optionally same or 
user specified UUID such as similar to previous one), there would no longer be 
any UUID concern.

What should result.

One more easy step towards a system as or more easy to use as ... other
ones.

Gparted renaming an UUID is only part of the whole story and you may want to

  I have seen that the Ubuntu Software Center operates the same silent, blind 
and dangerous way too.

  installed separately

[Bug 996443] Re: use UUID=0 for this partition, e.g. in fstab

[André Pirard]

** Description changed:

  Any version, any release and probably any distribution.
+ 
+ Update:
+ 
+ Please please please read the title of this report and see that this report 
is not (only) related to Gparted but to UUID=0 being an alias of the UUID of 
the partition in which that reference appears.
+ The Gparted side of the story turns out to be bug #737387. 
+ 
+ --- EOE ---
  
  What happens.
  
  When GParted makes a backup of a partition, two partitions with the same UUID 
exist, which is contrary to principle.
  This produces a lot of confusion if both are visible, such as one being 
mounted but the other one is locked.
  If the backup UUID is changed, you get (for example) an unbootable backup 
system because fstab mounts the wrong UUID.
  
  What should happen.
  
  If UUID=0 meant the UUID of the partition in which this reference is 
located there would be no need to change the fstab (mounting UUID=0).
  If GParted made a backup with a different UUID (by default, optionally same 
or user specified UUID such as similar to previous one), there would no longer 
be any UUID concern.
  
  What should result.
  
  One more easy step towards a system as or more easy to use as ... other
  ones.

** Package changed: gparted (Ubuntu) = ubuntu

[Bug 737387] Re: gparted should offer option to change UUID when copying partition

[André Pirard]

As changing the UUID of a partition also implies to change the
references to it, for example in fstab, I opened Bug #996443 suggesting
that UUID=0 meant the UUID of the partition this reference is in,
this partition, myself, solving 90%+ of such cases.

I think that the effects of not changing the UUID during a copy are just
to obscure, that changing it should be the default, changeable option
but that the user should be warned by a dialog that can be easily
disabled.

[Bug 565249] Re: write to disc dialog shows No disc available, re-insert allows successful burn but still shows No disc available

[André Pirard]

You won't be told you're the only one, Eemil.
Apparently exactly the same symptoms here.
But I did not notice that the button was enabled.
I rebooted a 68 days running system and lost the competition ;-)
So,
1) I should learn to read ;-)
2) These bug reports should have a Bug Solution/Workaround entry anyway.

Obviously, my system had entered a funny state.
And an explanation how to get out of it would have been great.

Re: [Bug 793318] Re: apturl can silently uninstall vital packages like network-manager

[André Pirard]

Thanks for taking care of this bug.
Please note that it has nothing to do with pcsc etc... but with the fact 
that APTURL is a black box that, as opposed to Synaptic, does secret 
things to your system including possibly destroying it.
I have started writing a full text about that.  Wait a little bit.  I'll 
finish it and I'll include it in here.

[Bug 363619] Re: Language-support-extra-de breaks OpenOffice spell checker in Jaunty

[André Pirard]

I'm sorry. My above should be disregarded.
According to the following, de_med needs no .aff file of its own.

man hunspell
   -d en_US,en_geo,en_med,de_DE,de_med

   en_US and de_DE are base dictionaries, they consist of  aff  and  dic
   file  pairs:  en_US.aff, en_US.dic and de_DE.aff, de_DE.dic.  En_geo,
   en_med, de_med are special dictionaries: dictionaries  without  affix
   file. Special dictionaries are optional extension of the base dictio‐
   naries usually with special (medical, law etc.)  terms. There  is  no
   naming  convention  for  special dictionaries, only the .dic exten‐
   sion: dictionaries without affix file will be  an  extension  of  the
   preceding  base  dictionary  (right order of the parameter list needs
   for good suggestions). First item of -d parameter list must be a base
   dictionary.

[Bug 538600] Re: Various bad Monitor resolutions after installation or monitor change

[André Pirard]

The word invalid is really full of tact.
The fact that the release in which the problem was tested is no longer 
maintained is not a valid reason for not fixing the bug in subsequent releases.
But reactions like this have had me quit the bug reporting and Ubuntu help 
business anyway.

Muse should start with just timidity daemon running.
But it does not: please see bug #677931

Could you please build muse so that
- some DEB can be installed in 10.04 too
- it can be started as simply as a Windows program:
   - just with timidity daemon running
   - with no complicated jack needed

[Bug 828412] [NEW] installer does not allow the right country/language combination

[André Pirard]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 11.10 beta installation.

 1. What you expected to happen

The same as what happened, but without the inconvenience

 2. What actually happened

Supposing a foreign person person in Belgium, let's say an American.

Installation starts.
Language choice: what he speaks: English (twice)
Country for time zone, euro, etc. : Belgium

Answer: There is no locale defined for the combination of language and 
country...
You can now select the locale that will be used ... [a country where English 
is spoken]
And our American guy is requested to move to Zimbabwe or some place, e. g. 
return to US.
Or to install and configure the system in a language he does not understand.

FYI: a computer located in Belgium is perfectly capable of running in English, 
see:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#Setting-the-POSIX-Locale

As a side note, if he chooses Dutch (his neighbourr's language) the
system answers that the messages may be a mix of Dutch and English !!!
Make up your mind ;-)

 3. The minimal series of steps necessary to make it happen, where step 1 is 
start the program
1 start the programs
2 all of the above.

[Bug 363619] Re: Language-support-extra-de breaks OpenOffice spell checker in Jaunty

[André Pirard]

I hacked hunspell-de-med_20100204-1_all.deb to apply what I say, plus=
- popping the version up to -2
-  making hunspell-de-DE the only dependency.

Needs to check that de_DE.aff  is a good aff file for de_med.dic

hunspell does correct checking.

After installing this DEB, Evolution detects the German (med) dictionary.
But Evolution seems to have a bug.

If  Abdomensonografiekontrolle is typed, it is underline like a mistake.
Right click shows no suggestions.
Checking spelling shows strange suggestions

[Bug 363619] Re: Language-support-extra-de breaks OpenOffice spell checker in Jaunty

[André Pirard]

Please ignore, or better erase that patch file and replace it with the
symbolic links below.

That the lack of a  de_med.aff   file is an error is correct: the programs do 
not recognize that dictionary without it.
That its absence caused OpenOffice problems is possible.

With my file:

$ hunspell -d de_med
Hunspell 1.2.8
Abdomensonografiekontrollen
 Abdomensonografiekontrollen 4 0: Abdomensonografiekontrolle, 
Abdominalsonografisch, Abdomensono, Therapieverlaufskontrolle

the plural form is not recognized.
There must be a affix rule for plural in the .aff file.
Where is that file?

Without it, the best bet is to think that the rules are the same as for German.
And to add the following links instead.

/usr/share/hunspell/de_med.aff  -- /usr/share/hunspell/de_DE.aff
/usr/share/myspell/dicts/de_med.aff --/usr/share/hunspell/de_med.aff

With those aff rules, the plural is OK.

$ hunspell -d de_med
Hunspell 1.2.8
Abdomensonografiekontrollen
+ Abdomensonografiekontrolle

No guarantees that it's the correct aff file, though.

[Bug 363619] Re: Language-support-extra-de breaks OpenOffice spell checker in Jaunty

[André Pirard]

There's a lot of reports around the Web
- that the de_med dictionary no longer works
- that it causes many collateral damages like crashing OOo

I'm surprised that nobody reported this:

$ hunspell -d de_med
Can't open affix or dictionary files.

According to man hunspell, there should be a 
de_med.aff   file in addition to   de_med.dic 
in the hunspell-de-med package.

Does no longer work mean no longer work or causing problems?

I think that that dictionary never worked since its introduction in Lucid.
Is that the reason for all your talk and the many problems?
Every fix I see is just dodging the problem.

Nominated for Jaunty, nominated for Karmic,
Can we hope that de_med.aff being added (back?) for Oneiric?

I have written and attached a patch.  It works for me.
Please have it validated by a doctor and a hunspell specialist, though.
According to the following, I know nothing about hunspell and languages ;-)
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=676500
I wouldn't like people to die on top of that ;-)

Remember that this bug causes many collateral damages !!!

Please include this patch as an update to all distributions where de_med.dic is

The attached file must be

To your health ;-)

I've had troubles putting that in the prescribed format ;-)

10.10 was released on 10-10-10T10:10:10 and I found that funny.
But that was half one ;-)
We might release the upcoming version on 11-11-11T11:11:11.
But that would be no fun if it wasn't numbered 11.11.
That would be a real one ;-)
Why not?  An extra version maybe?

[Bug 676701] Re: syslog overflowing with apparmor audit ptrace firefox-*bin messages

[André Pirard]

Nice find: these messages completely stopped after uninstalling scim.
I've run 48 hours free of any said messages after doing so.
With the added stop of scim messages themselves, my log became readable.

scim is responsible for a host of very unexpected, surprising problems.
It should not be used if not needed, which is the case if you don't know what

[Bug 793318] [NEW] apturl can silently uninstall vital packets like network-manager

[André Pirard]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: apturl

This happened on Ubuntu 10.04 upgraded from 8.10 and with latest updates
applied.

   1. What you expected to happen

The same as what happened, but without the inconvenience

   2. What actually happened

In order to help Belgian people paying their income taxes, I reviewed, modified 
and tested
http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/tutoriel/utiliser_carte_identite_electronique_belge
In the process, I uninstalled all the Belgian middleware *beid* as well as 
*pcsc* software.
(Not pcsclite1 because network-manager depends on it)

Then I clicked the following link on that page   
apt://pcscd,libpcsclite-dev,beidgui
And this is what happened, taken from the APT logs.
APTURL did not display what it was doing, even less ask the permission to do it:

Start-Date: 2010-10-17  05:06:49
Install: pcscd (1.5.3-1ubuntu4)
Remove: libacr38ucontrol0 (1.7.10-1), network-manager (0.8-0ubuntu3), 
libgnokii5 (0.6.28.dfsg-1ubuntu0.1), ubuntu-desktop (1.197), 
network-manager-gnome (0.8-0ubuntu3), libpcsclite1 (1.5.3-1ubuntu4.1), 
gnome-phone-manager (0.65-1ubuntu2), libacr38u (1.7.10-1), wpasupplicant 
(0.6.9-3ubuntu3)
End-Date: 2010-10-17  05:07:56

Start-Date: 2010-10-17  07:05:14
Remove: pcscd (1.5.3-1ubuntu4)
End-Date: 2010-10-17  07:05:32

Start-Date: 2010-10-17  07:34:37
Remove: network-manager (0.8-0ubuntu3), network-manager-gnome (0.8-0ubuntu3), 
libpcsclite1 (1.5.3-1ubuntu4.1), wpasupplicant (0.6.9-3ubuntu3)
End-Date: 2010-10-17  07:35:16

The system must never uninstall the network-manager nor anything without
asking the permission.

   3. The minimal series of steps necessary to make it happen, where
step 1 is start the program

1: start the program
2: all of the above

Conclusions:

1 it's an extremely bad idea to make an installer (APTURL) behave silently and 
blindly.
No detail of what is being done, no permission and even no indication that the 
operation is complete.
I have seen that the Ubuntu Software Center operates the same silent, blind and 
dangerous way too.

2 it looks like it's a bad idea to have each packet of the same aptline
installed separately

 bug solved - pls confirm !
Indeed for me (GIMP 2.6.8, Lucid, Metacity).  However...
- I'm surprised that Normal is not the default option, be it only to
do without 2-year bugs like this.
- The upstream discussion is surprising (including not knowing the
versions they speak of)
- Shouldn't upstream bug be closed first?
- The windows buttons are on the left (doc error) or should be on the
right (Ubuntu error).
  By  Jove make up your mind.

[Bug 41780] Re: Muse fails to start and segfaults.

[André Pirard]

The information you lack is: yes.

And I do not hesitate to say that this bug report is not invalid at all.
As of 10.04 and probably later, a corner stone of Ubuntu Studio simply does not 
start.
Anyone can check this in minute(s?):  apt-get install muse ;  muse
I see no crash but the timer problem is exactly as described.

echo 1024  /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq
is an invalid workaround because that file does not exist.
Running muse setuid conflicts with the most basic security rule.
The problem is commented on mailing lists since 2004.

Re: [Bug 67358] Lives

[André Pirard]

 Does this issue occur in Lucid?
For your convenience, I have included below the result of a
libmjpegtools* search of http://packages.ubuntu.com.

Regarding the practical Lives issue:
1) Lucid's  lives_1.3.2-2ubuntu1_i386 (1.3.2) crashes on Lucid up to
date, see debug trace below
2) after connecting to Debian Multimedia main, Synaptic updates Lives
to version 0.9.9.3 !!! and installs  libmjpegtools0 but not lives-data. 
It is stable indeed (does not crash)
3) after uninstalling Lives and its dependences and connecting to Debian
Multimedia main, Lives wants to update to 1.3.10, but I get the
following messages :
lives:
 Depends: libjack-jackd2-0 (=1.9.5~dfsg-14) but it is not installable
or libjack-0.116  but it is not installable
 Depends: liborc-0.4-0 (=1:0.4.6) but 0.4.3-5 is to be installed

So, trying to get the answer as short as the question : Still impossible
to use and to upgrade to Lives from dmm.

[Bug 556933] Re: Update standard folders should add language links to folders, not rename them

[André Pirard]

Thanks for changing your mind in time.  The problem has been reported upstream:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32342

May I try once again to explain that ONE CANNOT RENAME STANDARD FOLDERS because 
there may exist references to them. Please stop repeating that I said that not 
renaming standard folders is a problem.
I SAID THAT RENAMING STANDARD FOLDERS **IS** THE PROBLEM.
Please try to understand that what I said is that symbolic links should be used 
INSTEAD of renaming.
(We can use symbolic links. Instead of renaming ~/Desktop, let's make a 
~/Bureau - Desktop symbolic link.)

[André Pirard]

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 556933 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/556933

It's an error to [try to] rename standard folders because there may exist 
references to their files.
That is why xdg-user-dirs does not rename nonempty folders.
But this is indeed inconvenient and there is a solution that is not.
The correct solution is to create symbolic links as explained in
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32342
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdg-user-dirs/+bug/556933
In consequence, I have made the incorrect bugs duplicates of these.

[Bug 556933] Re: Update standard folders should add language links to folders, not rename them

[André Pirard]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xdg-user-dirs
+ 
+ Update:  I made a more concise version of this text upstream at:
+ https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32342
  
  This applies to all Ubuntu (Gnome) versions up to 10.04.
  Note: understand Bureau below as the name of any standard folder in any 
language. For example, also Картинки = Pictures folder name in Russian.
  
  Summary:
  This report explain some of the many pitfalls caused by the renaming of 
Desktop to Bureau.
  These pitfalls can cause programs, scripts and the system itself to misbehave.
  A drastic solution is to make a Bureau - Desktop symbolic link instead.
  Furthermore, this seems very simple to implement, it almost already works.
  
  When a user changes the language of its profile she/he is asked a funny 
question in Desktop-1.png.
  Update standard folders to new language?
  He/she does not understand and he replies yes.  From then on, obscure magic 
happens.
  Among other folders, ~/Desktop is renamed ~/Bureau, but only if it is empty.
  Let's assume it's not.  Then a new ~/Bureau is created beside.
  If the user drags New file (Desktop-2.png) a little bit, it disappears 
(Desktop-3.png).
  It will reappear after the next Login, at which time all the other Desktop 
objects disappear.
  Then she/he makes a screenshot and is told that a file she/he doesn't see 
does exist (Desktop-3.png).
  Nothing is lost, the user has 2 desktops, Desktop and Bureau, only now 
showing, hard to guess.
  The same applies for Documents, Music, etc... total confusion.
  If some program unaware of this game looks for Desktop, it won't find it.
  Etc... etc...  Confusion looks like the comments of (different) Bug #209513.
  
  Every time one refers to ~/Desktop, it's a mistake, and that's not only in 
programs...
  Every time someone writes cd ~/Desktop in sample code on the Web, and even 
worse in a script, they're doing a BIG MISTAKE. They should explain that, if 
and only if their system implements standard folders renaming, French people 
must type cd ~/Bureau, Russian ones cd ~/работая стол etc, even more 
complicated for the script.  HOW SIMPLE !!!
  
  This is obviously not the way it should work.
  This is NOT Windows.  We can use symbolic links.
  Instead of renaming ~/Desktop, let's make a ~/Bureau - Desktop symbolic link.
  EVERYTHING will continue to be able to refer to Desktop unchanged.
  And the user interface (Desktop, Nautilus...) will happily refer to ~/Bureau 
all the same.
  It will contain the same data, because the same folder.
  The only setting needed is the name to use : Bureau, meaning ~/Bureau, 
redirected at will.
  It's best to create the aliasing without asking the user any question.
  There can be a setting for those really wanting to see the folders' names in 
any language they choose.
  If the user changes language again, it's best to leave ~/Bureau intact in 
case it's referred to somewhere.
  
  The BEST OF ALL is that it already works.  Almost...
  Before xdg-user-dirs comes into play, make sure Desktop is not empty and 
create ~/Bureau - Desktop.
  xdg-user-dirs will not change that and the aliasing will work free of all 
those inconveniences.
  
  User experience.
  The above kludge has been used for a 6-language 10-users couple of Ubuntu 
8.04 systems.
  Beside ~/ being crowded with aliases in 6 languages, the only inconvenience 
has been Picasa.
  They found 6 times the pictures they eagerly looked for.
  They will have to learn that scanning a filesystem must not follow aliases.

Re: [Bug 434351] Re: gnome-language selector is labyrinthine

[André Pirard]

 The reason why I introduced this bug report (that was appreciated) is
that it is not obvious for someone having some 6 or more languages to
install, to check which one is or isn't installed already.
Restating myself, the two-columns scheme where installable languages are
in the left column and the installed ones in the right one would be more
appropriate than one-column to be searched.
Nothing such was done

A second, different table was introduced, with similar inconvenience
(and solution) as the first one.
In fact, it duplicates (and extends) the choices proposed by GDM at
login time. And, with the first implementation of this I saw, the two
methods were conflicting. Plus lack of documentation, the fact that all
those Englishes and Spanishes, are the same, the user thinks that he is
facing complete nonsense.

Moreover, what's going on isn't clear at all until you've done it 10 times :
If Install / Remove Languages... has to be done first, it might as
well be first on top of the dialog.
And why not with a 1 - 2 - 3... numbering?
- Language for menus and windows would best be This session's language
- Use the same language choices for startup and the login screen -
The language chosen above will be used during login
When will language B be used when A and B is the order of preference?

Finally...
With Keyboard input method system=none, I've got SCIM running and
pesting me and my syslog.

Separating language from other locale is welcome. It would be even more
welcome to specify them in detail to, for example, use the by-language
default but specify the date as yy-mm-dd.

[Bug 676972] Re: pidgin does not connect to msn, certificate error

[André Pirard]

Thanks for the work that's been done for all those MSN lovers.
I find strange to read the last comment.  The update consists of adding 2 
certificates to libpurple0, and that holds and must work very well for all 
distributions. 
I find strange that Karmic isn't spoken of.
I find strange to read that pidgin has to be updated.  The package to update is 
libpurple0 and updating pidgin will not update libpurple0 because of the 
dependency error I pointed out.
I find strange that the Solution has not been updated in the bug Description to 
reflect the update.

 If you look at what Roel Huybrechts provided as a lucid debdiff, it

 there is the certificates. AIUI just the certificates does /not/ solve
 the issue -- as a few people here have pointed out it still requires
 removing the  certificates manually. If this holds
 true (and I can reproduce it here) I consider this to be a pretty poor
 fix for Maverick users in general.
 Hmm, yes you're right. I'm not sure where that extra bit came from though. My
 understanding of the matter was that those who had manually exchanged their
 omega.contacts.msn.com certificates would have to remove them before it would
 work again, whereas those who hadn't would have the fix working perfectly
 without any extra changes needed.

From the many many tests I made with the present Pidgin code, I came
under the impression that the omega.contacts.msn.com in user space is
just a cache. If it matches the certificate to check, the job's done. If
it doesn't Pidgin is prepared for a cache update. But it could no do it
because of the missing intermediate certificates story. That's why two
certificates were added.
Presently, Pidgin must probably alternate between receiving the old and
new certificates and it must do the check by using both the old and new
files.
In practice,
- without the added certificates, Pidgin must wait until whichever
certificate it cached appears again
- with the added certificates, it always succeeds updating, I must have
overcome that a 100 times
As all that is only smart guessing the inside of the black box, I
thought that the best idea is to watch the cache updating.  So, I made
10 connections, I saved omega... each time and here's the result :
$ dir *.pem
1723222 -rw--- 1 p p 2303 2010-11-27 08:20 01.pem
1723229 -rw--- 1 p p 2303 2010-11-27 08:21 02.pem
1723230 -rw--- 1 p p 2339 2010-11-27 08:21 03.pem
1723231 -rw--- 1 p p 2339 2010-11-27 08:21 04.pem
1723232 -rw--- 1 p p 2303 2010-11-27 08:22 05.pem
1723233 -rw--- 1 p p 2303 2010-11-27 08:22 06.pem
1723235 -rw--- 1 p p 2339 2010-11-27 08:23 07.pem
1723246 -rw--- 1 p p 2339 2010-11-27 08:23 08.pem
1723247 -rw--- 1 p p 2339 2010-11-27 08:24 09.pem

Just by watching the sizes of the files, it's obvious that Pidgin is
constantly updating its cache itself.
So, there is no need for the user to erase it.
I think there's no use to try to prove that each size corresponds to
either of old or new certificate.
But I can send them to any disbeliever ;-)
Or just two, as I just checked that same size files are the same.

So, I think that the practical effectiveness of the update has been
proven enough in several ways and that, 10 days after the problem
appeared, it's high time to move the update to -update if we want to
beat the legendary 15 days turnaround of errr... other constructors.
Just adding two certificates cannot make it worse in any case, could it.
I think that the code update is another improvement, probably to do
without adding certificates as errr... other constructors do.  Probably
very nice but we have no time to wait and it must be postponed to a
later update.

Just make sure that the update pickers don't miss picking libpurple0.
I would change the dependency I spoke of.

TIA × at least the French Gendarmerie size ;-)  (not me ;-) )

[Bug 399974] Re: [Bug 676972] Belgian workaround

[André Pirard]

 Workaround for
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/399974

1) Open Desktop in Nautilus
2) Vieweverything unticked
3) ViewArrange ItemsManually
4) Maximize

and you've got a new, multiple, folding, mobile Desktop.
Even larger that n° 0 if you don't mind the scroll bar(s).

Designed  Made in Belgium (South, of course ;-) )

Interesting: just as I did that, the arrangement was n°1=n°0.
But hitting F5 resulted in an immediate shuffle.
You never run out of discovering Ubuntu ;-)

The white background needs getting accustomed to indeed.
Anyone knowing how to do that?

Glad to not just make a test every other year, like for my other reports.
Thanks to everybody working on this !!!

This test did *not* work for me at first and it wasn't until I hacked
the DEB that I found why.
The certificates are not in pidgin but in libpurple0.
But pidgin...4.2 does not depend on libpurple0...4.2 which is, of
course, *required*.
So, my click on pidgin was a do-nothing.
After sighs, sweat and thoughts, everything was superb.

But hence, my conclusions are:
- that many users don't follow -proposed but are eagerly watching their
-updates for the word pidgin.
- that those lucky enough to notice the wagon on the other track and
jump on it may well fall over it.
Even if the wagon were painted in purple for a hint ;-)

It may even be argued that a Certificate update is a security update.

For the sake of Ubuntu.

Cheers.

Less interesting, if one returns to Desktop n° 0 an F5s it, the mess
follows up.
This Nautilus feature has nothing to do with a Belgian invention, but I
hate to trip you on it.
Apparently, there are two 01 Desktop arrangements kept, with unwanted
carryover.
I reckon that Nautilus should prefer carrying 0-1 rather than mostly
undefined 1-0.

[Bug 677931] Re: Muse does not start

[André Pirard]

Salut Fabrice, Hi igi,

In my case, Ubuntu 10.04 up to date and Muse 1.1
same problem: Muse won't start unless Jack is started.
Looks like Muse isn't getting enough precision from the rtc.
Running Muse as root allows it of course.
Otherwise, it wants Jack for its timer.

To allow enough rtc precision to underprivileged mode, type:
$ sudo sh -c  echo 1024  /proc/sys/dev/hpet/max-user-freq

To be able to run Muse, the system should allow users to set rtc
frequencies up to 1024 Hz.

/proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq is the variable which should be set to 1024
According to http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/en/man4/rtc.4.html
it should exist but it does not.
This seems to be the frequencies the kernel has been compiled for:
$ grep CONFIG_HZ /boot/config-`uname -r`
# CONFIG_HZ_100 is not set
CONFIG_HZ_250=y
# CONFIG_HZ_300 is not set

[Bug 676972] Re: pidgin does not connect to msn, certificate error

[André Pirard]

I'm surprised that this bug blocking MSN chat doesn't have top but only medium 
importance. It could turn many people away from Ubuntu.
I'm surprised not to find a pidgin update already in Ubuntu's depot for the 
general user. All it takes is repackaging with two added certificates in 
/usr/share/purple/ca-certs/
As it is my opinion that general users should find, without reading all this, a 
clear howto to solve their problem, I have updated the description.  I have 
tested that procedure carefully.


** Description changed:

  When attempting to connect to MSN, Pidgin fails to load the contact
  list, citing an issue with the SSL certificate of
  omega.contacts.msn.com. This happened due to Microsoft renewing both the
  omega.contacts.msn.com certificate, as well as their certification
  authority certificate Microsoft Secure Server Authority. Hence, the
  certificate in /usr/share/purple/ca-
  certs/Microsoft_Secure_Server_Authority.pem is outdated.
  
  In addition, the transition from the old to the new certificate is not
  complete, only half-done, so a simple workaround of updating the
  certificate would not work. Both the old and new certificates have to be
  included. Debdiffs for natty and maverick are attached.
  
  TEST CASE:
  1. Start Pidgin
  2. Click Tools-Certificates
  3. Delete the omega.contacts.msn.com certificate
  4. Try connecting to a MSN messenger account
  5. If it fails with Unable to validate certificate, then this bug is 
present.

+ Solution :
+ While waiting for a Pidgin update from Ubuntu, those who can do it can apply 
this:

+ Tested original on Lucid. Should be OK on all versions.

[Bug 676701] [NEW] syslog overflowing with apparmor audit ptrace firefox-*bin messages

[André Pirard]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: apparmor


https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs  compliant report

 1. What you expected to happen

going to the swimming pool

 2. What actually happened

System : Ubuntu 10.04 (upgrade) up to date, Kernel is 2.6.32-26-generic, 
Firefox:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101027 
Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.12

syslog is literally overflowing with messages like this (many suppressed):
xxx kernel: [15514.454740] type=1503 audit(1289919221.465:10403):  
operation=ptrace pid=4885 parent=4884 
profile=/usr/lib/firefox-3.6.12/firefox-*bin tracer=4885 tracee=2247
every time a window or tab or something opens.

I added  deny capability sys_ptrace,  to /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.firefox
and I ran   sudo apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.firefox  giving

Nov 16 19:30:13 p-hp-u kernel: [28506.718832] type=1505 
audit(1289932213.729:46716):  operation=profile_replace pid=9268 
name=/usr/lib/firefox-3.6.12/firefox-*bin
Nov 16 19:30:13 p-hp-u kernel: [28506.719106] type=1505 
audit(1289932213.729:46717):  operation=profile_replace pid=9268 
name=/usr/lib/firefox-3.6.12/firefox-*bin//firefox_java
Nov 16 19:30:13 p-hp-u kernel: [28506.719488] type=1505 
audit(1289932213.729:46718):  operation=profile_replace pid=9268 
name=/usr/lib/firefox-3.6.12/firefox-*bin//firefox_openjdk

But the messages continued.  Then

2a. close all firefox windows
2b. sudo apparmor_parser -r -W -T /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.firefox
2c. start firefox

Messages continued to continue.

 3. The minimal series of steps necessary to make it happen, where step
1 is start the program

0 Boot up and Log in
1 Firefoxtrot.
2 read syslog (optional)

[Bug 573103] Re: scim-bridge crahes due to segfault error 4 in libscim-1.0.so.8.2.4

[André Pirard]

Exactly the same problem with up to date Lucid and .scim has been renamed.
The same SCIM messages are filling my log.

Well, 5 persons have reported the same problem and every question has been 
answered,
The report still remains incomplete after 6 months and the priority has been 
set to low...

Language support says SCIM is required for characters needing several 
keystrokes.
But dead keys and the compose key were working here long before SCIM was born.
I'm not even supposed to use SCIM, I chose the recommended ibus.

May we uninstall SCIM safely and how?  Is it needed beside very complex
typing?
