[Bug 175316] Re: no IDN in nslookup and host

2013-12-23 Thread Jonathan Stewart
Hi,

IDN is not optional on the internet today.

The IANA is publishing several IDN top level domains:
http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db

As it currently stands, I am having a difficult time using Ubuntu as a
professional internet operator at an ISP, because my only choice is
hacks like this:

reaper@silverstar:~$ dig ns $(idn2 한국)

On CentOS 6.5, the query is simple:
jgs@whmdev:~$ dig ns 한국

The man page of dig has the same message for at least 2 years, staing
it's a compile time option.  Please compile it into the next version of
this package.

Is there any reason not to build dig with IDN support?

[Bug 1033302] Re: update-notifier crashed with SIGSEGV in g_mount_info_equal()

2013-08-12 Thread Jonathan Stewart
I'm also seeing this an AMD64, on two different machines.  13.04.
Happens shortly after login, often when you're launching a program like
firefox, but that's not required--the bug is triggered without that.

[Bug 369138] Re: Xorg freezes on Voodoo3 at 1440x900

2009-05-19 Thread Jonathan Stewart
I can also confirm this bug on Ubuntu 9.04 on a PII-450 with a Voodoo 3.
I can login to a normal X session, but scrolling an image causes a
crash, and in general X is very unstable, with GDM crashing a lot.

The workaround, as mentioned above, is to set:
Option   NoAccel true
in the Device section of xorg.conf

This has serious performance penalties in a 2d environment.  Searching
the net for this issue reveals the issue being discussed in 2006, around
the time Ubuntu 6.04 was the newest release.  It seems that some
resolution was found and committed upstream after that.

Note that no issues were noticed in Ubuntu 8.10 on the same machine.

I do not understand the root cause of the problem, but this seems to be
a regression. I hope someone can help shed some light.

[Bug 242956] Re: Bind9 (8.04) not returning 'ad' flag when dnssec is enabled

2009-03-14 Thread Jonathan Stewart
In my (limited) experience, the server only responds with the AD bit set
which it can validate the DNSSEC records on the domain.  As there is no
root key in the DNS now, this means you must configure trust anchors on
your recursive nameserver.

My question would be: is your recursive DNS server actually able to
validate the DNSSEC records?  If you operate the server, you should be
able to examine the dnssec logs and determine if the nameserver is able
to validate the DNSSEC records.

[Bug 123773] Re: 'SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address' when setting up ip alias

2009-03-02 Thread Jonathan Stewart
Update:  I have found the source of my problem.

I had a custom script (related to dynamic DNS) in /etc/network/if-up.d/

The script was failing, and as a result, the DCHP aquired address was
not getting assigned to the interface.  It appears that if any of the
if-up.d scripts fail, this will interrupt the correct operation of DCHP.

Additionally, i still get the error SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign
requested address.  I do not know why... this indicates some kind of
failure, but all IP configuration is completed as normal. I have DCHP on
eth0, and a static IP addr on eth0:0.

I apologize for the noise, as it now seems my trouble report is not
related to the problems described by other contributors.

[Bug 123773] Re: 'SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address' when setting up ip alias

2009-03-01 Thread Jonathan Stewart
I want to chime in with my experience.  I have 2 machines, one 8.10, one
8.04.1. I have the same problem on both machines.

On both of them, I have DHCP working on eth0, and a static alias on
eth0:0. They are connected via an ethernet switch.

When I start networking, Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.0.6
starts up, broadcasts, gets a DCHP address, and then:

SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address

This is NOT a harmless error: the IP address is never assigned to eth0.
However, eth0:0 comes up correctly, properly configured as i expect.

I do not know why it cannot assign the requested address with the
scripts, when there is no problem assigning the same address via
ifconfig.  I will continue to investigate the source of the problem.

[Bug 44100] Re: [jaunty] Package myspell-en-ca for OOo spellcheck

2008-12-11 Thread Jonathan Stewart
I want to get to the bottom of this problem, for it has just struck
again on my parents' two Ubuntu machines.

Here is the summary of the problem, as I currently see it.
1) OpenOffice.org relies on myspell for spell-checking service
2) myspell needs dictionary files for each language-country combination that 
you want it to support
3) there is no myspell-en-ca package (in ubuntu or debian) to provide en-ca 
dictionary files (there should be)
4) On an en_CA Ubuntu install, OpenOffice.org will look for en-CA dictionaries, 
and not finding them, give up working entirely

I'm not sure how step 4 works, as i don't have a openoffice.org-l10n-en-
ca package installed. Perhaps OO.org just knows to look for en-CA based
upon the locale setting.

If i'm looking at this problem correctly, then, the solution is to
create a myspell-en-ca package (myspell-en-gb and myspell-en-za exist,
for example) with the correct dictionary files, and then have that be
installed along with the other en dictionaries.

I have never created a package before, but i will learn how so I can fix
this.

BTW, if this problem affects all english users in Canada, why hasn't it
become a bigger problem than this?

[Bug 44100] Re: [Ubuntu] [hardy] OpenOffice lacks canadian english spellcheck

2008-06-13 Thread Jonathan Stewart
CONFIRM - This bug still exists in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron)

Description: Spellcheck doesn't work at all in Open Office 2.4.  With no
dictionary, it completely fails. This is when you've installed a
Canada/English system.

Fix:  The followning steps are what i did to fix it. Hopefully with
detail enough for anyone to follow it.

Download the dictionary file, extract it, copy files to
/usr/share/myspell/dicts.  Fix file permissions, and then create links.
(I'm not sure if the links are needed, but they existed for the en-US
and en-GB, so i added them).

Commands to type:

wget 
http://ftp.services.openoffice.org/pub/OpenOffice.org/contrib/dictionaries/en_CA.zip
unzip en_CA.zip
sudo mv en_ca* /usr/share/myspell
cd /usr/share/myspell/dicts/
sudo chown root:root en_CA.*
sudo ln -s en_CA.aff en-CA.aff
sudo ln -s en_CA.dic en-CA.dic

The final step was to edit the dictionaries list.

sudo vi /etc/openoffice/dictionary.lst
Add the following line to the file:
DICT en CA en_CA

Note: The update-openoffice-dicts script DOES NOT WORK.  In fact, if i
run it after manually adding the en-CA definition, it removes the en-CA
directives.
