[Bug 1140716] Re: [regression] 3.5.0-26-generic and 3.2.0-39-generic GPU hangs on Sandybridge

2013-06-25 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
I've experienced this on Quantal at some point but simply dealt with it
by downgrading my kernel until a fix came. Then I upgraded to Raring and
experienced the bug again.

Reading the comments above, the only Raring kernel that looked like it
did not have a negative report against it is the one suggested by Anoop
in #231: 3.8.13-030813-generic #201305111843.

I've installed it and experienced a hung GPU with that kernel too.

I'm trying to run Raring now with the latest stable kernel I had on
Quantal. I don't know whether it means I've lost some functionalities
that are available only with 3.8.x.

[Bug 1159154] Re: items in File-Import menu incorrectly displayed in application menu

For those encountering this bug, here is a workaround. Run gnucash from
the command line as follows:

$ UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 gnucash

This turns off indicator-appmenu for gnucash.

[Bug 1082446] [NEW] Firefox 17.0 ignores cookie exceptions

2012-11-23 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
Public bug reported:

$ lsb_release -rd
Description:Ubuntu 12.10
Release:12.10

$ apt-cache policy firefox
firefox:
  Installed: 17.0+build2-0ubuntu0.12.10.1

 16.0.1+build1-0ubuntu1 0

Expected behavior:

Firefox should remember the cookie exceptions I've set in versions of
Firefox prior to 17.0. It should also store changes I make to
exceptions.

Actual behavior:

Firefox ignore cookie exceptions. It also no longer records them.

Workaround: Most users will want to stay on 16.0 until Mozilla fixes
this bug. The thread referred to below contains workarounds that require
dumping and manipulating an sqlite database.

[Bug 643446] Re: Evolution does not show subfolders of IMAP account

2012-08-30 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
I've experienced the phenomenon described in the initial bug report.

Ubuntu 12.04

$ apt-cache policy evolution
evolution:
  Installed: 3.2.3-0ubuntu6
  Candidate: 3.2.3-0ubuntu6
  Version table:
 *** 3.2.3-0ubuntu6 0
500 http://mirror.umd.edu/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

The IMAP server involved is dovecot running on a Ubuntu 12.04 server.
The version of dovecot is 2.0.19-0ubuntu2.

My account was set to use IMAP+ so IMAP+ is not in and of itself a
solution to the problem.

I believe that what happens is that some changes on the server can cause
evolution to get into a bad state. In my case, I renamed some folders
directly in the dovecot filesystem store. I may have carelessly left
evolution connected while I did this. At any rate, at some point
evolution stopped listing my subfolders. If I went into the preferences
for this account and clicked Apply, even without changing anything,
this would trigger something which made evolution detect the subfolders
and list them. However, exiting evolution and starting it again would
bring the problem back: I'd get my Inbox but nothing else until I
triggered again the discovery of the subfolders by going into the
preferences.

I eventually switched my account from IMAP+ to IMAP... and the problem
disappeared. Why? I don't know. I switched back to IMAP+ and the problem
did not come back.

[Bug 1043448] [NEW] incorrect NEWS file packaged

2012-08-29 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
Public bug reported:

Release:12.04

I pulled this package from the quantal repository to a precise
installation but I believe this unusual configuration is not a factor in
the following report.

Version of the package:

amavisd-new_2.7.1-2ubuntu2

Expected results: a NEWS.Debian.gz file containing all the latest
information from upstream.

Actual results: a NEWS.Debian.gz file which lacks the latest information
from upstream.

Explanation and steps to reproduce:

$ dpkg-source -x amavisd-new_2.7.1-2ubuntu2.dsc

Go into:

amavisd-new-2.7.1/debian

You'll find two NEWS files:

$ ls -l *NEWS*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ldd ldd 4232 Aug 29 13:07 amavisd-new.NEWS
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ldd ldd  272 Aug 29 13:07 NEWS

NEWS contains the latest news, but amavisd-news.NEWS is the file
actually packaged.

This is verifiable by building the package and looking at the
/usr/share/doc/amavisd-new/NEWS.Debian.gz file included in the package.
Its contents are those of amavisd-news.NEWS. The contents of NEWS are
nowhere to be found.

As pointed out in the following bug report, the NEWS file contains some
useful information:

I did not have this problem in 11.10 but I do experience it in 12.04. It
seems to occur randomly.

I did not know about Alt-Shift-Up. Thank you, Felix.

The way I've worked around it was using wmctrl -l to show the list of
windows and then issuing a wmctrl -a on the keepassx window to bring
it to the foreground.

I experience this bug in Ubuntu 11.10.

I dragged Evolution from the dash to the launcher. There is an empty

Right-clicking does not produce the Label Empty item but instead
produces a blank menu item.

I'm going to attach a screenshot.

While I was writing this comment parts of the GUI crashed, including
compiz and unity-panel-service. They were automatically restarted. After
restarting, the icon appears properly.

[Bug 185600] Re: openoffice repeatedly freezes after resuming laptop from sleep

2011-01-14 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
Ok, so this is happening again in 10.10. I've noticed a few more things
though:

1. This bug sometimes causes X to crash. I've experienced it a few
minutes ago. I had resumed from suspend maybe 4 hours ago and worked on
a bunch of things in Emacs, Firefox and Evolution and a few other X
clients (like xpdf). Then I turned to Open Office writer to check
something in a document. The document was very slow to scroll. Writer
was in effect exhibiting the symptoms described earlier in this bug
report.

After paging up maybe 4 or 5 times, X crashed.

The only X client started before the suspend-resume cycle and which
showed any trouble was Open Office. (Emacs, FF, Evolution were also all
started before the suspend-resume cycle: no problem with them.)

2. The soffice.bin process remained running from the previous X session.
Note that everything else which was X related died when the X session
died. Only, soffice.bin remained. Running oowriter from the command line
does nothing. The old soffice.bin must be killed before OO can be used
again.

3. I checked to see whether the HD was being accessed abnormally (e.g.
thrashing) but did not see anything abnormal there.

Why did I not experience X crashes before? I think the answer is just
that in the past, I would very quickly close OO as soon as I experienced
the bug so I was removing the opportunity for a crash. This time, I
insisted on scrolling to a bit of text I needed to cut and paste to
emacs. I thought I was really close to the passage I wanted to cut and
paste but I was wrong and X crashed before I could get there.

It may also have to do with the document I was scrolling. This is the
largest OO document I have. It also happens to contain about as much
Chinese as English. So of all the documents I work with this is the one
which is most taxing on oowriter.

Here are the results of apt-cache policy on the usual suspects:

[Bug 434730] Re: Cannot invoke XIM input method

2009-10-31 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
This bug affects more people than those who have an English language
desktop and need to type Chinese.

I found the problem while trying to type in Devanagari in Emacs.  The
language I was aiming for was Sanskrit but the problem would also occur
with Hindi or Marathi or Nepali or any other language using Devanagari
for its script.  Actually, the problem would happen for any user wanting
to toggle scim in Emacs.  I would have the same issue when trying to
type Tibetan and, yes, when trying to type Chinese.

Besides this:

$ LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8 emacs

the following also works:

$ LC_CTYPE=hi_IN emacs

If either of these invocations are used, all of scim's input methods
appear.

Emacs does have its down input methods but I'd like to use the same
method across applications rather than have to treat emacs as a special
case.

[Bug 405120] Re: resume from suspend doesn't work (powers off instead) for Acer Timeline 3810t

2009-08-19 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
Yeah, I also tried rc6.

I've not tried removing the wifi card.

One thing I did was to modify the kernel code to force a speaker beep
upon resuming from sleep.  This did not work.  I noticed the code which
is triggered by s3_beep is run AFTER the kernel first perform some
consistency checks.  So if the consistency checks fail, the kernel does
not run the code to make the speaker beep. I added code to perform the
beeps BEFORE these checks but I still heard no beep.

I see two possibilities: 1) there is just no functional legacy PC
speaker hardware on the board or 2) the kernel never regains control
after the hardware resumes operations.

[Bug 405120] Re: resume from suspend doesn't work (powers off instead) for Acer Timeline 3810t

2009-08-14 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
I downloaded s2ram, inspected its code and decided it would probably not
be helpful to try.

I could be wrong about this.

By all means, do try it.

Other things I've tried since my last report:

1. I've compiled 2.6.30.4 from kernel.org.  This was mainly an effort to
try to see if Ubuntu-specific patches would have introduced a bug.

2. I've tried 2.6.31-999.200908060936 from here:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/2009-08-06/

3. I've also messed with /proc/acpi/wakeup to enable everything in
there.

4. I've used ethtool to enable wake-on-lan on eth0.  (Just in case the
kernel was expecting the network card in a certain state upon wake up.
I've also tried waking with a WOL packet... just in case there'd be some
success.)

Nothing helped.

[Bug 204858] Re: sensible-browser should use xdg-open for Gnome / KDE / XFCE support

2009-08-08 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
I've run into this bug today.

I've read sensible-browser's code before reading this bug report and
came to the same conclusion as Chris.

sensible-browser is currently broken because if it detects a Gnome
desktop, it directly invokes gnome-www-browser but doing this actually
*bypasses* what the user configures in System  Preferences  Preferred
Applications.

Bypassing the user's preferences is NOT sensible.

[Bug 405120] Re: resume from suspend doesn't work (powers off instead) for Acer Timeline 3810t

2009-08-07 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
I've booted with debug turned on and did not see anything special.  I've
got a dump of dmesg with acpi.debug_layer=0x
acpi.debug_level=0xf.  I won't attach it unless someone specifically
requests it.  It is huge.

On the other hand, here is something which I had not paid attention to
before (this appears in the dmesg even without acpi debugging turned
on):

[   31.206919] ata2.00: ACPI cmd 00/00:00:00:00:00:b0 rejected by device (Stat=0

x51 Err=0x04)   

This is the kernel executing the drive's GTF.  You can see the 4th
command is filtered out by the kernel (i.e. it is not sent to the
drive).  I turned filtering off and found that the filtered command was
the only command which the drive accepted.  But even with filtering off,
I was not able to resume.

I eventually removed the hard drive and booted from a USB stick but
still was not able to resume.

I also tried acpi_power=s3_beep and did not hear any beep.  (But I'm
having a nagging doubt that there may not be a real *legacy* pc-speaker-
style hardware on the laptop.  I can't get the darn thing to beep when
I'm booted in single user mode.)

[Bug 405120] Re: resume from suspend doesn't work (powers off instead) for Acer Timeline 3810t

2009-08-06 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
Ok... latest test.  I recompiled the kernel and made modular much of the
ACPI functionality.  Here's the relevant section of the config file:

CONFIG_ACPI=y
CONFIG_ACPI_AC=m
# CONFIG_ACPI_ASUS is not set
CONFIG_ACPI_BATTERY=m
CONFIG_ACPI_BLACKLIST_YEAR=0
CONFIG_ACPI_BUTTON=m
CONFIG_ACPI_CONTAINER=m
# CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT is not set
CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE=
CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_INITRD=y
CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG_FUNC_TRACE=y
CONFIG_ACPI_DOCK=y
CONFIG_ACPI_FAN=m
CONFIG_ACPI_HOTPLUG_CPU=y
CONFIG_ACPI_PCI_SLOT=m
CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR=m
CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS=y
CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER=y
CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT=y
CONFIG_ACPI_SBS=m
CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP=y
CONFIG_ACPI_SYSFS_POWER=y
CONFIG_ACPI_SYSTEM=y
CONFIG_ACPI_THERMAL=m
CONFIG_ACPI_TOSHIBA=m
CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO=m
CONFIG_ACPI_WMI=m

Then:

1. I blacklisted modules which are not unloadable if loaded at all
(processor is not unloadable if loaded at boot, I had to blacklist
thermal too because it depends on processor and will force a load even
if processor is blacklisted).

2. And I booted with init=/bin/bash and unloaded as much as I could: in
the end all the ACPI modules were unloaded.

So I was left with the acpi functionality which is included in the
kernel but all acpi modules removed (no WMI, no fan, no thermal, no
processor, etc.).

It still did not fix the problem.

As far as I can tell the machine behaved exactly in the same way as with
the stock kernel.  I was concerned about thermal in particular: I know
that there have been bugs on other machines where the temperature
sensors would send out bogus data under certain conditions and would
cause Linux to forcibly power down of the machine.  Well, there goes
that hypothesis...

@Matthew: Thanks for the dump.  I'll check into it when I decide that I
should spend more time on the DSDT.  I'm also DSDT-illiterate so *for
now* I'm holding off on doing anything more with it.   Whatever I'm able
to understand about it is inferred from general computer engineering
knowledge and from reading bits of the ACPI specs.

I think my next step will be to boot with ACPI debug turned on (as you
can see above I compiled in the necessary functionality for that: now I
just need to add the right boot parameters) and look for anything amiss.

[Bug 405120] Re: resume from suspend doesn't work (powers off instead) for Acer Timeline 3810t

2009-08-05 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
Yes, I've also tried acpi_osi=Windows 2006.  I figured it would not
hurt to try.  It did not help.  As far as I can tell from reading the
DSDT, the DSDT cares only about 3 possibilities:

1. OSI is set to Linux
2. OSI is set to anything else than Linux.
3. OSI is not set.

I think all three possibilities have been covered.

I also tried acpi_serialize and libata.noacpi=1.  Neither helped.

I've noticed upon resume the LED for the wireless flashes but the LED
for the hard disk does not flash.  In Windows, I've noticed the hard
disk LED flashing before the wireless.  I don't know whether it is an
indication of anything.

I've fiddled with the DSDT but that did not help either.

The reason I called the snippet of DSDT a pearl is that the else
branch of the If (IGDS) test is a noop.  As coded, it is logically
equivalent to this:

Method (_BQC, 0, NotSerialized)
{
If (IGDS)
{
Return (BRTL)
}
}

And either version generate a warning when compiled because if IGDS is
false, then there is no return value.  Basically this method is not
coded according to spec.  (Huge guess: IGDS is true if the laptop has
integrated graphics and false if not.  Since Acer has not yet released
the models which have discrete graphics they have not yet coded the part
of the DSDT which should execute if IGDS is false.)

I'm attaching the decompiled DSDT if someone wants to look at it.  This
is the one in BIOS 1.08.

2009-08-04 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
I have the same hardware and the same problem.

* I tried booting with init=/bin/bash and was able to unload *all*
modules from memory.  It did not help.

* I tried:

$ echo core  /sys/power/pm_test
$ echo mem  /sys/power/state

And it went through.  I think this suggests a problem with the BIOS
itself.

* I tried the above with 2.6.30-02063004 from the kernel PPA.  It did
not work.

* I tried the above with 2.6.31-020631rc5 from the kernel PPA.  It did
not work.

All kernels I used are 64bit.

My BIOS version is 1.08.

[Bug 209872] Re: bibtool does not convert accented characters to lowercase

2009-07-09 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
New development: on Ubuntu 9.04, bibtool will crash while trying to
process the file I attached to illustrate the problem.

Right, I missed the part of the documentation which says that bibtool
won't work with code points greater than 127 but I'd expect a tool which
has this limitation to do something like:

if char  127, then fail graciously by printing an error message and
exiting with a non-zero status

Unfortunately, the current behavior is undetermined.

As for supporting other encodings, I would suggest supporting Unicode
(in addition to what is currently supported) but not other encodings:
one can always use tools like recode to convert to Unicode, then process
the file with bibtool and then use recode again to convert to whatever
encoding the user desires.

(BTW, using recode to convert a Unicode BibTeX file to LaTeX encoding
(e.g. recode utf8..latex biblio.bib) does not produce good results.)

[Bug 290644] Re: Second keyboard layout can't be selected after suspend

2009-07-02 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
I experience the same symptoms.  I was not able to test it on 8.10
because my USB keyboard was not around.  I'm running 9.04 now and ever
since I started using my USB keyboard again, I've had this issue.  I
believe the issue was absent in 8.04 but I'm not 100% sure about that.

Here is an symptom I've noticed but which I think has not been reported
yet.  I've set hitting Left Shift and Right Shift together a hot key
to toggle the keyboard layout, but:

1. If I hit the hot key on the USB keyboard, it is ignored.

2. If I hit the hot key on the internal laptop keyboard when the USB
keyboard is plugged in, the keyboard layout applet switches between
USA and ?? instead of USA and CAN.

Whether or not it is utopia, integrating Firefox with the KDE wallet

It is not the proper solution to the specific problem reported here.
Firefox should behave intelligently when multiple tabs needing

[Bug 190217] Re: the scim toolbar remains always visible and menu no longer works

2009-02-04 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 133803 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133803

I believe this bug is a different bug than the one reported in bug
#133803.  In this comment:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/scim/+bug/133803/comments/2

Ming Hua wrote: This [i.e. the behavior reported] is expected for non
en_US locales.  Other comments indicate that the problem reported in
bug report #133803 is triggered by non en_US locales.  However, what I
am reporting here is triggered even when the locale is en_US.

Moreover, I've found a way to reproduce the bug at will.  By following
the these steps, I can reproduce the bug with a 100% success rate:

1. Go into the search field in Firefox.  I mean the one which sends
search queries to web sites like Google.

2. Hit the hot key combination which activates scim.  (In scim's Global
Setup tab, it is called Trigger. Mine is set to Ctrl-Alt-Spacebar.)

3. Start typing so that the completion list comes up under the search
field.  In my case, typing t is enough to bring a whole slew of
completions.

4. While the completion list is **VISIBLE**, hit the hot key combination
which brings up the input method selection menu.  (In scim's Global
Setup tab, it is called Show input method menu. Mine is set to Ctrl-
Alt-Right.)

At this point, scim displays the abnormal behavior reported in the
original bug report.

I've also discovered today that killing and restarting scim after
experiencing this bug can make the system unresponsive.  It seems to be
due to a memory leak in scim which is triggered after restarting scim.
I've seen scim-launcher and scim-bridge gobble up to 2.5G of RAM after
restarting scim.  On my system, the VM trashing makes the system
unresponsive for 5-10minutes.  I can work around the problem by using
the following command to start scim again:

$ (ulimit -v 512000 ; scim -d)

[Bug 257211] Re: please backport rsync 3 from Intrepid to Hardy

2009-01-28 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
Reading other comments, I perceive that there is confusion about the
compatibility between 2.6 and 3.0.x.

It is simply not true that *in all cases* 2.6 can talk with 3.0.x.

Whether or not a 2.6 can talk to a 3.0.x depends on the the *actual
arguments* passed to the client.  In my earlier report you can see that
the 2.6 and 3.0.3 cannot talk together because the parameter --acls
was used.   If --acls had not been used, they would probably have
talked together fine.  3.0.x degrades its protocol only as much as it
possibly can while at the same time still provide the features new to
the 3.0.x series.

The only way to have full compatibility *in all cases* is to have the
same version (or maybe different version of the same series is enough)
on both the client and the server.

[Bug 217849] Re: Hardy 64-bit beta and nightly alternate installation stalls

2008-11-01 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
I've experienced a problem which may be related to this but it is on a
Sager NP2090, not NP2092.  I've been able to run Hardy for months
without the problem manifesting itself but for the past month or so I've
experienced quasi-freezes on Hardy and the same on Intrepid.  At this
point, I'm pretty convinced that I did not do anything wrong and that
there is a real bug somewhere.

All of my Ubuntu partitions are encrypted.   If I let the kernel boot
normally and issue:

$ dd if=/dev/zero of=~/tmp/garbage bs=500M count=10

Pretty soon the system becomes unusable.  The GUI freezes (applets no
longer update their information) except for the mouse pointer which
moves but with a huge lag.  Keyboard response is also severely lagged as
evidenced by the fact that it takes several seconds for a CapsLock
toggle to register.  Eventually the system gets out of that quasi-freeze
but it takes a while.  At the time the test is run, the following
appears in the syslog:

Nov  1 11:06:26 bodhi kernel: [  608.405383] CE: hpet increasing min_delta_ns 
to 15000 nsec
Nov  1 11:10:26 bodhi kernel: [  848.045122] CE: hpet increasing min_delta_ns

Nov  1 11:20:43 bodhi kernel: [ 1465.497279] CE: hpet increasing min_delta_ns 
to 33750 nsec
Nov  1 11:36:14 bodhi kernel: [ 2396.253626] CE: hpet increasing min_delta_ns 
to 50624 nsec
Nov  1 11:37:05 bodhi kernel: [ 2447.124177] CE: hpet increasing min_delta_ns 
to 75936 nsec
Nov  1 12:31:06 bodhi kernel: [ 5688.448082] CE: hpet increasing min_delta_ns 
to 113904 nsec
Nov  1 13:21:01 bodhi kernel: [ 8682.672764] CE: hpet increasing min_delta_ns 
to 170856 nsec

In cases where the problem occurred by itself even after more than 5
minutes the system could still be hung.

If I boot with clocksource=jiffies then the same command above the
system is still responsive.   The GUI does not freeze: the applets I use
to report CPU usage and temperature continue to update as normal.  The
system is a bit laggy but still usable.  Also, the hpet increasing
messages are absent from the syslog.

$ uname -a
Linux bodhi 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Thu Oct 30 04:12:22 UTC 2008 x86_64 
GNU/Linux

I'm suspecting the problems may be related because the NP2090's hardware
is very similar to that of the NP2092 and the solution in either case is
to set clocksource=jiffies

Quentin, have you ever run into the hpet increasing message?  Can you
try the dd command above and see what happens without and with the
clocksource=jiffies parameter?

communication can fail.  I've had failures like:

The sender runs Intrepid,  the receiver runs Hardy.

Having 3.0.* backported to Hardy will simplify management for

2008-10-18 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
It is an OpenOffice bug which is triggered by using compiz.

I've installed OpenOffice 3 on Hardy and cannot reproduce the bug.

Also, I've never seen this specific bug with any other software than
OpenOffice.  Compiz does seem to cause various softwares to misbehave
but I've experienced this specific bug only with OpenOffice.

2008-10-05 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
Alberto, first thank you very much for reporting on your find.  This is
very helpful for those of us who have do deal with this problem.  

On Sun, 2008-10-05 at 22:41 +, AlberTUX wrote:
 actually you can completely solve this bug configuring the window
 decoration plugin with exceptions. 

I respectfully disagree.  You are providing a *workaround*, not a
*solution* to bug, which is a *real* bug, by the way and not a bug in
quotes.  A proper solution would allow decorations to appear on all
windows which should have decorations (and this includes dialog boxes in
Open Office).

 in the advanced desktop effect
 settings open the window decoration plugin config and edit the
 decoration windows field editing it from any to (any) 
 !(type=Dialog).

What you suggests turns off decoration on all dialog boxes in all
applications.  Here is a better value for this field:

(any)  !(widget=1)  !(type=Dialog  class=OpenOffice.org 2.4)

What I suggest turns off decorations on widgets (which probably does not
matter to those who do not use the widget layer) and on dialog boxes but
only dialog boxes which belong to OpenOffice 2.4.  The class= match
could be turned into a regular expression to mach more versions than
2.4.  Also, I think the initial (any) , for instance, is not needed
but I'm no compiz wizard.

Maybe someone can come up with something even better than my suggestion
because right now it matches too many dialog boxes.  Only the boxes
which are created by OO through a Java VM should be targeted by the
workaround. (Perhaps with the help of devilspie something can be cooked
up?)

Ciao,
Louis

[Bug 217849] Re: Hardy 64-bit beta and nightly alternate installation stalls

2008-05-25 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
I've also encoutered this problem while installing Kubuntu 8.04 on my
wife's Sager NP2092.

However, this same problem also happens when booting a *fully installed*
and *fully updated* Kubuntu.  After entering the passphrase to decrypt
the filesystems, it is sometimes necessary to hit keys from time to time
to keep the boot process moving forward.  Otherwise, the system just
waits there forever.  The problem does not seem to recur once the system
is fully up.

[Bug 232492] [NEW] mount.crypt needs to be redesigned, reimplemented or removed

2008-05-21 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libpam-mount

1. Ubuntu release:

$ lsb_release -rd
Description:Ubuntu 8.04
Release:8.04

2. Policy:

$ apt-cache policy libpam-mount
libpam-mount:
  Installed: 0.32-4
  Candidate: 0.32-4
  Version table:
 *** 0.32-4 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3. I expect that mount.crypt will operate in an atomic fashion; that is,
that it will clean after itself if there is ***ANY*** error which
prevents the mount to go through.  This is how mount normally works:
either it succeeds or it fails and does not leave cruft behind.

I expect that mount.crypt will integrate with mount so that mount -t
crypt and the corresponding umount will work and so that options passed
to mount will be honored by mount.crypt.

4. What happens: see the following scenarios.

Scenario 1:

1. Check allocated loops:
$ sudo losetup -a

You should not have anything allocated.  (Or if you do have loops
allocated, keep that in mind at step 5.)

2. Create an encrypted filesystem container for use with dm-crypt.  Make
sure you can mount it manually (i.e. by issuing the losetup, cryptsetup
and mount commands manually).

3. Create an entry in fstab:

encrypted.img   whatevermountpoint crypt   user,loop   0   0

4. Mounting it as a normal user does not work, despite the presence of
user in the fstab:

$ mount whetevermountpoint
mount.crypt: error setting up loop device for /dev/loop1
You have to be root to use cryptsetup!
mount.crypt: error creating
loop: can't delete device : No such file or directory

So execute the following command:

$ sudo mount whatevermountpoint

And intentionally make it fail: do not enter your passphrase.  The
output will look like this:

Enter passphrase:
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
mount.crypt: error mounting encrypted.img

5. Check allocated loops:
$ sudo losetup -a
/dev/loop0: [fe02]:361999 ([this will contain the path to your encrypted image])

This /dev/loop0 should not be allocated.  (I'm assuming no loops were
already allocated in step 1.  If loops were allocated then adjust your
expectations accordingly.)

Scenario 2:

1. Perform a normal mount of your encrypted container.  Enter the proper
passphrase, etc so that the mount is successful.

2. Check /etc/mtab, for your container you will find an entry of the
form:

encrypted.img whatevermountpoint ext2 rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0

Notice that the filesystem is ext2 rather than crypt.   This is
where the problem is.  Because the filesystem is set to ext2 when umount
is issued umount.crypt is NOT called.

3. Issue:
$ sudo umount -t crypt -d whatevermountpoint
$ ls -l /dev/mapper/

You will see in /dev/mapper a stray device which corresponds to your
encrypted container.  Calling umount.crypt directly works fine but
umount should work.

Conclusion:

I have encountered three issues: a) the user option in fstab is
ineffective when issuing mount -t crypt on a mount point which has
user as an option; b) mount.crypt fails to clean after itself if a
passphrase is not correct c) after using mount with -t crypt, umount
will not call umount.crypt when unmounting because the filesystem
recorded in mtab is the one inside the encrypted container rather than
crypt.

I have not filed 3 separate bug reports because I think there is enough
evidence here that the *entire* idea of mount.crypt and umount.crypt
should be rethought.   I will note here that there are **other**
problems with mount.crypt but reproducing all the errors I encountered
would take too much time.

Ideally, mount.crypt should be rewritten to be robust and interface
properly with mount.  A user would expect mount -t crypt to
substantially behave in the same way mount -t ext3 or mount -t vfat
works.  If this cannot be ensured, then mount.crypt should not exist.
(Actually, the more I think about it, the more I think mount.crypt
should be removed.)

This bug is still present in Hardy Heron.  I installed Kubuntu 8.04 on

[Bug 231060] [NEW] packages dnsmasq and libvirt-bin conflict with each other

2008-05-16 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libvirt-bin

1. Release:

Description:Ubuntu 8.04
Release:8.04

2. Policies:

libvirt-bin:
  Installed: 0.4.0-2ubuntu8
  Candidate: 0.4.0-2ubuntu8
  Version table:
 *** 0.4.0-2ubuntu8 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages

  Version table:
 *** 2.41-2ubuntu1 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/universe Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3. Expected behavior: I expected the dnsmasq package not to interfere
with the running of libvirt-bin.

4. Actual behavior: What happened is that libvirt-bin became unable to
provide DHCP services to guest OSes running in a kvm virtual machine.

This is what I see in /var/log/syslog when libvirt-bin is able to start
a virtual machine normally:

May 16 08:25:57 bodhi dnsmasq[19217]: read /etc/hosts - 9 addresses

This is what I see when dnsmasq is installed:

May 16 08:16:55 bodhi dnsmasq[18482]: failed to bind listening socket for 
192.168.122.1: Address already in use
May 16 08:16:55 bodhi dnsmasq[18482]: FAILED to start up

Observations and workaround:

1. It is possible to restore normal functioning while keeping both
packages installed:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/dnsmasq stop

After this, libvirt-bin will work properly.  However this is obviously
not a permanent solution.  If dnsmasq is not required to be present on
the machine, then the package can be removed and libvirt-bin
functionality will be restored (until something else breaks it).

2. It seems the problem is that dnsmasq is started by the OS when
booting and then libvirt-bin tries to start it again for its own
purposes.

3. I do not know what the proper fix is.  Is it stupid to want both
dnsmasq and libvirt-bin installed at the same time on the same system?
Must libvirt-bin be fixed to handle this situation?  I don't know.  I
installed dnsmasq based on a suggestion that dnsmasq was required for
libvirt to provide DHCP services to guest OSes but apparently only
dnsmasq-base is required for that.  So the information I got was
erroneous but it does not change the fact that the current packaging
specs do not prevent users from shooting themselves in the foot.

[Bug 203552] Re: Suspend/hibernate does not work with HP Pavilion dv9340ea

2008-05-04 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
I think my symptoms are closer to Mrts than Corey's.

Hardware:
Sager NP2090 (aka Compal IFL90) with bios version 1.13
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7300  @ 2.00GHz
nVidia 8600M GT 512MB
2Gb Ram

I am running Kubuntu 8.04, 32bit version.  I did an alternate install
and use LVM to manage my partitions.  (I've also installed Ubuntu 8.04,
32bit: the problems were the same.)

The suspend problems have happened in Gnome, KDE, KDE4 and in single
user mode.

Symptoms:

1. If I use the nVidia driver packaged with [K]Ubuntu, the machine
always sleeps but sometimes does not resume.  (I typically have desktop
effects on.  Maybe this achieves the same effect as having glxgears
running.)

2. If I use the nv driver, the machine always sleeps but NEVER resumes.

3. If I boot in single user mode, the machine sleeps and resumes but the
internal LCD does not turn back on after resume.  I know the OS is still
running because I can issue a shutdown -r to properly reboot the
machine.  Even issuing a manual vbetool dpms on does not turn the LCD
back on.  There is a difference in the ACPI LCD state before and after
resume:

Before
/proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/state
state: 0x1f
query: 0x01

After:
/proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/state
state: 0x1d
query: 0x01

Network activity or lack of network activity has no effect whatsoever on
whether or not the machine sleeps or resume.

Hibernate behaves the same.  In Gutsy everything worked properly.
Because I ran Gutsy for a while with a Hardy kernel and did not
experience any problem then, I think the problem is not with the kernel
itself (and probably not with the nVidia driver either).  Rather, I
think something in userspace is interacting badly with the kernel.  I
have checked vbetools and udev and saw nothing there which was
problematic.

However, and this is **preliminary**, I think that setting:

vm.mmap_min_addr = 0

in /etc/sysctl.conf

I know that there is a line in the default sysctl.conf shipped with
Hardy which sets that parameter to 65536.  This line was not present in
Gutsy but is present in Hardy.  At the moment, I would say that after
changing that parameter to 0, stability with the nVidia driver seems to
have improved (or maybe I'm just really lucky).  I have not tested again
with nv.  Unfortunately, it does not improve the situation in single
user mode: the LCD stays off after resume.  (Maybe there are really
multiple bugs.)

 echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr must be rewrote after each

Manipulations of /proc/sys can be done through sysctl and can be made to
be automatically applied at every boot by editing /etc/sysctl.conf  In
this case, the following command performs the same as the above:

$ sudo sysctl vm.mmap_min_addr=0

So adding the line:

vm.mmap_min_addr=0

to /etc/sysctl.conf will make that change automatically with each boot.
I have not tested running the system with this change so I do not know
if making it the default on your system will cause some other unintended
consequences.

Hmm... actually, I looked at my sysctl.conf file and found this:

# protect bottom 64k of memory from mmap to prevent NULL-dereference
# attacks against potential future kernel security vulnerabilities.
# (Added in kernel 2.6.23.)
vm.mmap_min_addr = 65536

So it seems that the current value was set this way on purpose, for
security reasons.  This probably should be investigated further.

[Bug 219285] Re: Hardy Heron: screen turns off, Xorg 100%

2008-04-26 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
Sander, I'm experiencing a problem which looks similar to yours but my
hardware is significantly different.  One thing you may want to try to
help narrow down the problem: can you boot in recovery mode (should be
the 2nd option in the Grub prompt), get to the root prompt and see what
happens when you put the machine to sleep by running:

$ /etc/acpi/sleep.sh

and then bring it back from sleep.  On my machine, the LCD stays blanked
even after resume so I know my problem is deeper than X.  If your LCD
also stays blanked, then I'll add my own hardware info, etc. to this bug
report.  Otherwise, I'll seek another report which looks like my case or
open a new one.

Thanks!

[Bug 222714] [NEW] konsole gets corrupted when compiz switches viewports

2008-04-26 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz-core

To answer the questions asked in the bug submission form:

1. Ubuntu release:

Description:Ubuntu 8.04
Release:8.04

2. Version of packages.  I'm adding konsole too for good measure and
xserver-xorg.

compiz-core:
  Installed: 1:0.7.4-0ubuntu6
  Candidate: 1:0.7.4-0ubuntu6
  Version table:
 *** 1:0.7.4-0ubuntu6 0

  Version table:
 *** 4:3.5.9-0ubuntu7 0

  Version table:
 *** 1:7.3+10ubuntu10 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3. Expected behavior: I expected no corruption.

4. Actual behavior: corruption happened.

It happens very frequently if I do this:

1. Open konsole in one viewport.
2. Work with konsole (issue apt-get install, whatever, the actual command is 
not important).
3. Switch to another viewport, work there for a bit.
4. Come back to the viewport in which konsole is located.  At this stage, 
corruption is likely.

Unfortunately, the steps above do not *always* reproduce the problem.

[Bug 214679] Re: gnome-keyring has unusual behaviour compared to ssh-agent

2008-04-17 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
I have also noticed confusing behavior on the part of ssh-agent and ssh-
add now that gnome-keyring is intervening in the management of ssh keys.
Packages:

gnome-keyring   2.22.1-1
gnome-keyring-manager   2.20.0-0ubuntu2
openssh-client  1:4.7p1-8ubuntu1

Here's a scenario.  I've replaced all actual fingerprints with
[fingerprint1].  (It's been a while since I've read the details of
public key crypto so I don't remember what is sensitive from what is
not.  I don't know whether fingerprints are sensitive...  Better safe
than sorry.)

1.

$ ssh-add -l
[ssh-add gnome-keyring pops a dialog asking for a password.  I enter the 
password for my ssh identities.]
1024 [fingerprint1] (DSA)

2.

$ ssh-add -l
1024 [fingerprint1] (DSA)

3.

$ ssh-add -D
All identities removed.

4.

$ ssh-add -l
1024 [fingerprint1] (DSA)

5.

$ ssh [to some host for which the key listed by ssh-add -l should allow login]
[At this point ssh asks for the password to unlock the key listed in step 4!]

I see two problems:

A. Like Andrew reported, deleting a key with ssh-add -D does delete it
from the agent, as evidenced by steps 3 and 5, but it is still listed as
present (step 4)!  This breaks some of my scripts which rely on ssh-add
-l to know whether a key is present or not.

B. When there are no keys whatsoever in the agent, in step 1 above,
running ssh-add -l makes gnome-keyring ask for a password.  This also
breaks scripts which are supposed to run non-interactively.  I've
designed my scripts to fail silently if the needed keys are missing.
(It makes sense to do that for the purposes I have with those scripts.)
But the way ssh-add and gnome-keyring interact my scripts are no longer
able to fail silently.  I get a prompt in my face when they try to check
whether keys are present.

[Bug 193139] Re: hardy ooo missing jre - system crashed

2008-04-16 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
I've run into the same problem.  The package openoffice.org-java-common
was installed (2.4.0-3ubuntu5) and yet the problem still occurred.  I
had to delete
$HOME/.openoffice.org2/user/config/javasettings_Linux_x86.xml to get
things back to normal.

Things coming to mind:

1. Probably OO should be configurable to use the default system JRE.
That way if people keep OO to the default and install and remove system
JREs, they won't run into this problem.

2. Some of us used IcedTea on Gutsy.  In Hardy IcedTea seems to have
been replaced by OpenJDK.  The paths are different.

This has not caused any other instability on my system.  Only OO was
affected.

[Bug 209872] [NEW] bibtool does not convert accented characters to lowercase

2008-03-31 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bibtool

Running on Gutsy Gibbon.

Package version: bibtool 2.48alpha.2-3.1

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Take the test.bib file I have attached to this report.

2. Run

$ bibtool -k ./test.bib

(bibtool uses default TeX paths if you do not specify an actual relative
or absolute path for your bib file.  So the ./ in the above is not
optional: it should be adapted to your situation as needed.)

3. The command above should normalize all the keys according to the
default short key format.  Among other things, this means everything
should be in lower case in the key.  Now, listing only the first line of
each entry after running the command above, here is what I would expect
in the output:

@Book{āryadeva.lang:āryadevas,
@Book{aryadeva.lang:aryadevas,
@Book{aryadeva.lang:aryadevas*1,
@Book{āryadeva.lang:āryadevas*1,
@Book{émile.pierre:émile,

4. Actual output, again only listing the first line of each entry:

@Book{Āryadeva.lang:Āryadevas,
@Book{aryadeva.lang:aryadevas,
@Book{aryadeva.lang:aryadevas*1,
@Book{Āryadeva.lang:Āryadevas*1,
@Book{Émile.pierre:Émile,

As you can see, accented characters are not converted to lowercase.  The
first 4 entries are modifications of the entry for an actual book I'm
using in a bibliography.  I created the fifth entry to illustrate that
even with fairly run-of-the-mill diacritics like a simple French
e-acute, the problem happens.

Observations: Although I found the bug while generating keys, I think
the bug might manifest itself whenever bibtool should convert accented
characters to lowercase.  That means that if bibtool is used to clean
other fields, the problem is likely to occur there too.

Description from upstream bug report:


Dialogs that are created in the IDE are displayed with incorrect width.  The
problem is intermittent.  I have not been able to find a sure way to reproduce
it all the time but it happens to me quite often so it is not a rare occurrence.
 (I just don't know why sometimes the dialogs appear with the correct dimensions
and why sometimes they don't.)  This problem happens in two different set of
circumstances:

1. It happens when dialogs are being displayed by OOBasic code.  That is, when
the dialogs are displayed to be used by a normal user.

2. It happens also in the IDE.  If a dialog is opened in the IDE to be edited,
the dialog will appear with its correct dimensions for a fraction of a second
and then its dimensions will be reset without rhyme or reason by the IDE.  Only
the width seems to be affected.

This happens with my own dialogs and with dialogs that have been created by
other people.  I've also tried it with dialogs bundled in OO and found the same
problem there.  So it is not a problem due to the way I create my dialogs.


In the upstream bug report, I've attached a video grab of my desktop
that shows the problem.

After filling my initial bug report, I found that the problem disappears
if compiz is turned off.  This bug may therefore be related to bug
#185600.  I do not know whether the problem is with OO or compiz but I
find it strange that only OO behaves this way.

[Bug 185600] Re: openoffice repeatedly freezes after resuming laptop from sleep

2008-02-19 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
At this point, I'm going to say that turning off compiz makes the bug
disappear.  I've used Open Office intensively yesterday and today and
put my laptop to sleep several times without the bug recurring.

I'm still perplexed by the fact that when compiz is running the bug
appears *only* when Open Office is also running.  No other software
shows this behavior.  I run evolution and Firefox for long stretches of
time and they go through all the same sleep/resume cycles as Open Office
and yet no problem with them.

What now?  Make this a compiz bug?

Thanks for the reply.  I've tried quickly to reproduce it after turning
off compiz but the bug did not come back.

I will keep compiz turned off on my machine for a few days and see
whether during my normal day to day use the bug comes back again because
it might be a combination of various factors that make it manifest
itself.  I've set myself a TODO item for Friday the 22nd.  If I get the
bug again before then, I'll report right away.  If not, I'll report on
Friday that the bug is irreproducible with compiz turned off.

[Bug 190217] [NEW] the scim toolbar remains always visible and menu no longer works

2008-02-08 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: scim

I run Ubuntu 7.10

My scim packages:

$ dpkg-query -W *scim* | gawk '$2 {print;}'
libscim8c2a 1.4.7-1ubuntu2
scim1.4.7-1ubuntu2
scim-bridge 0.4.10-0ubuntu1

scim-qtimm  0.9.4-2ubuntu2
scim-tables-additional  0.5.7-1ubuntu2
scim-tables-zh  0.5.7-1ubuntu2

Normal behavior of the toolbar:

1. Hitting Ctrl-Alt-Space (which is the scim toggle on  my system)
normally switches between my current scim input method and unprocessed
keyboard input.  When the input is not processed by scim, the toolbar
does not appear at all on screen.  The toolbar is present on screen only
when scim is processing the input.

2. Hitting Ctrl-Alt-RightArrow brings up scim's menu of all available
input methods.

I can work for hours and even days with scim showing the above behavior,
then suddenly it gets into an abnormal mode.  I do not know why it
switches to this abnormal behavior.  Abnormal behavior of the toolbar:

1. Hitting Ctrl-Alt-Space does not make the toolbar appear or disappear.
The toolbar is always present.  The only thing which changes is that
scim toggles between whatever input method I'm using and the
English/Keyboard input method.

2. Hitting Ctrl-Alt-RightArrow no longer brings up scim's menu of all
input methods.  I know that all the methods are still loaded because if
I hit Ctrl-Alt-UpArrow and Ctrl-Alt-DownArrow scim goes through its list
of methods.  I just can't get a menu.

Reloading the configuration does not help.   The only way I can get
around this is by killing all scim processes and restarting scim.

[Bug 186390] [NEW] gnome-power-manager's handling of critically low battery power could be more user-friendly

2008-01-27 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

I'm running Gutsy.  The version of the gnome-power-manager on my system
is:

2.20.0-0ubuntu6

I think gnome-power-manager is behaving as intended but I think the
intended design is not user friendly.  Here is what caused me to submit
this bug:

1. The power meter in the notification area had turned orange for a
while.  The last time I hovered over the meter before my computer shut
down, the meter told me that the battery power would be exhausted in 20
minutes.

2. A few seconds after my last power check, without any further warning
or any way to prevent this, the laptop shut down.  Note that I did not
launch any kind of intensive power-consuming task between my last power
check and the time the computer shut down.  I understand that if I had
done something which suddenly consumed more power, the previous 20min
estimate would suddenly become incorrect and could perhaps cause the
power manager to suddenly consider the battery level to be critical.
But no such thing happened.

I checked my power settings and I think the computer behaved according
to the settings I have set but there are several problems with the way
gnome-power-manager behaves.  I'm going to list those problems here:

1.  There is no indication of what critically low battery power means.
Is it a percentage?  Is it in minutes?  I checked the help and found no
information there.  (I searched for critically low in the entire Gnome
documentation.)

2.  What critically low means is probably dependent on the specific
hardware being used and probably should be configurable by the user.  My
computer shut down while there were 20 minutes of power remaining.
That's not critically low as far as I'm concerned.

3.  There is dissonance between what the power meter in the notification
area is reporting and the behavior a normal user would expect.  If the
power meter says there are 20 minutes of power remaining and does not
say anything else, then the user is going to expect to be able to *work*
for another 20 minutes.  But that's not what happens.  The time reported
by the power meter means you have X minutes of power remaining IF AND
ONLY IF you have configured your power management settings to do nothing
if the level goes critical.  The reality is that if the user has
configured the power manager to shut down the computer if levels go
critical, then there's is less *working* time than what the meter
reports.

But I submit that a normal user is interested not in theoretical values
but in how much *actual* time they have before something drastic
happens.  If the user has configured their system to do nothing if the
power level becomes critical then this something drastic is the time
at which there is no power remaining in the battery.   However, if the
user has configured the power management to either shutdown, sleep or
hibernate when the power level is critical this something drastic is
the time at which the machine will be forcibly shutdown, put to sleep or
put into hibernation by the power management system.

I think the way to fix this would be to have the meter continue to
report how much power the battery has *in total* but also determine what
event the user would really care about and inform the user about when
that event is likely to happen.   For instance, the power meter could
say the following:

The battery has 30 minutes of power remaining (10%).
Based on your power management settings and current consumption, the computer 
will be shutdown/put to sleep/put into hibernation in 10 minutes.

4. There is absolutely no warning that the power management system is
just about to take action.   You're working and then poof, the computer
shuts down.  Yes, the power meter becomes orange but it can be orange
for 30 minutes before anything happens.  This indication is not focused
enough.  It would be preferable if about one minute before taking
action, the power management system would pop a dialog saying This
computer will be shutdown (or whatever the user chose) in 60 seconds.
Click Cancel to continue using the computer until the power runs out.
The 60 seconds figure could be a live countdown rather than static.
The user would then be able to configure power management to take care
of the general case scenarios but would also be able to adapt to
specific scenarios.  The idea is yeah, in general I want my computer to
go to sleep if it is about to run out of power and I'm not there to do
something about it but if I'm about to finish a presentation and my
power is running low, I'd rather cancel the default action and finish my
presentation.  If I'm concerned that I'll run out of power before I'm
finished, I can take action.

All of what I'm pointing out and suggesting here is obviously subject to
discussion and refinement.

[Bug 185600] [NEW] openoffice repeatedly freezes after resuming laptop from sleep

2008-01-24 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

I've used Feisty and Gutsy but this problem has started happening only
recently.  Here are the steps to reproduce:

1. Open a document in oowriter.

2. Put the laptop to sleep.

3. Resume the laptop.

Here are the symptoms:

1. Scrolling in the openoffice document is jerky.  Basically, if I hit
page up or page down, oowriter freezes for a few seconds and compiz
grays the oowriter window (to show that the app is not responding),
eventually oowriter unfreezes, refreshes its screen and is responsive
again.  If I try to scroll again, the same freeze repeats.

2. Sometimes oowriter seems to also cause other applications to
temporarily be unresponsive.  The symptom here is that compiz grays
*all* the windows on the screen for a few seconds until oowriter becomes
reponsive again.

3. No other application freezes like that after resume.  Note that
symptom 2 above happens *only* when oowriter is running.

4. This one is also a workaround: if I restart openoffice, the problem
goes away.

[Bug 156922] Re: [gutsy] EMemo conduit doesn't sync with palm device

2008-01-20 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
I'm still having problems with synchronizations of memos.

Recently I did the following:

1. I created a new memo in Evolution.

2. Sync with the Treo, no problem: the new memo is created on the Treo.

3. I modified the memo on the Treo.

4. Sync with the Treo.  But after the sync the modifications I made in
the memo on the Treo were not transfered to Evolution.

5. I set a one time action for eMemos to Copy from PDA and synced.
Afterwards, Evolution has the modifications I made to the memo.

My versions are:

I have not been able to identify what would trigger it.

I checked in System/Preferences/Mouse but saw nothing there to set the

[Bug 179228] detect keyboard layout not translated to French in text installation

2007-12-29 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
Public bug reported:

1. Try to install Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) using the text installation on the
alternate CD.

2. Select French as the language.

3. Continue to the keyboard layout screen.

The only things in French on that screen are the screen title, and the
buttons for navigation.  The text explaining that you can try to have
Ubuntu automatically detect the keyboard layout is in English.

[Bug 176815] pinentry-gtk2 does not register keys while scim-bridge is running

2007-12-16 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pinentry-gtk2

Versions
=

I'm running a current installation of Gutsy Gibbon (by current I mean
all packages are at the latest published version).

pinentry-gtk2 is at version 0.7.3-1ubuntu2

How to reproduce
==

Your input method configuration must be set to scim-pinyin.  Then, try
to perform any operation that requires a gpg key.  (I've gotten the
problem while trying to sign a binary file and also while running dpkg-
buildpackage).  pinentry-gtk-2 will come up but it won't register any
keystrokes.

If I tell gpg not to use an agent, I can enter my password to the
terminal prompt without any problem.

Here is how my input method configuration is set up:

$ im-switch -l
Your input method setup under en_US locale as below.
===
The configuration /home/ldd/.xinput.d/en_US is defined as a link pointing to
scim-pinyin
This private configuration supersedes the system wide default.
===
The system wide default is pointed by /etc/alternatives/xinput-all_ALL .
xinput-all_ALL - status is auto.
 link currently points to default
default - priority 10
none - priority 0
scim - priority 0
scim-immodule - priority 0
Current `best' version is default.
===
The available input method configuration files are:
default none scim scim-chewing scim-immodule scim-pinyin scim_xim th-xim 
===

Cablop is correct.  Even scim-bridge does not help with QT apps.  It is
a solution only for GTK apps.

I know the difference between KDE and Gnome... that was a brain fart on

2007-11-08 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
I've done some testing...

I've gone into the eMemos conduit settings and set a one time action to
Copy from PDA.

Then I synced.

After the sync all the memos from the PDA were available in Evolution.
Including new memos.  One thing was different than before.  It used to
be that Unfiled memos on the PDA had the Unfiled category in
Evolution.  But now, they just have their category field left blank.

Then I created a new memo in evolution (blank category) and synced as
usual.

The new memo was transfered to the Treo.  However a duplicate Unfiled
category was created after the sync.

Perhaps there's a problem with how unfiled memos are handled?

[Bug 135196] A2DP support is not included in the binary packages of bluez-utils

2007-08-27 Thread Louis-Dominique Dubeau
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bluez-utils

I compiled the sources for bluez-utils 3.15-0ubuntu1 as published on
launchpad.  One of the big enhancements in the latest releases of bluez-
utils is support for A2DP.  This is an audio protocol used by some
bluetooth headsets to provide better quality audio than the basic voice
support.  As they stand right now, the packaged sources for bluez-utils
do not turn on the compilation of support for A2DP.

The solution would be to turn on the A2DP support during compilation and
to include the necessary binaries and control files in the binary
packages.

The addition of A2DP support in bluez-utils is not merely a technical
novelty.  It provides a replacement for bluetooth-alsa and as such has
the following advantages over bluetooth-alsa:

1. It is much easier to configure and use than bluetooth-alsa.  While we
cannot yet talk of plug and play, it is still a significant step
towards supporting bluetooth headsets in Ubuntu in a user friendly way.

2. Bluetooth-alsa has serious technical defects.  It introduces such a
delay in the audio that it was practically impossible for me to listen
to the audio track of a movie through my headset: the video and audio
were utterly out of sync.  In contrast, bluez-utils 3.15 introduces no
such delay: watching movies with the audio in sync worked right out of
the box for me.
