[Bug 1886113] Re: snap-store Does Not Run with XAUTHORITY error

2020-07-28 Thread aPlatypus
If I understand things, the path

   /home/$USER

is not valid if /home is a symlink or when home directories are not on
root.  For example most corporate set-ups uses something like:

   /export/home/$USER

Sounds like that will foil the 'dumb smart software too.

I refute the proposition that ...

"symlinking an alternate home directory location"

This is not an alternate.  The semantics are straightforward:
"/home/$USER/", it is a regular Unix path name.

The flaw here lies in the over-reach to resolve perfectly legitimate
human use file paths into machnine talk.  When in truth use of the given
(legitimate) path of "/home/$USER" will or should work in all cases.

For comparison; I do not expect a compile error when the expression "i
+=2;" isn't written as "i = i+2;"  And that is more or less what has
happened here.  A correct file path is rejected because of some internal
scruples that have not bearing on usability or function.

I'm not sure which part of the stack is dissatisfied with the
"/home/$USER" pattern.  If you know please post the module(s) if you'd
like.  It looks like snap-s can not be used at with this limitation.

[Bug 1888452] Re: Unreadable text Terminator on Ubuntu 20.04

2020-07-21 Thread aPlatypus
* This has been found that this error was caused by a MISSING FONT
* Someplace during the Ubuntu 19.10 to Ubuntu 20.04 upgrade process the font 
Courier New was completely removed.
* It is not clear what the use-case would be to removea font in the first place.
* Nothing in the removed packages list indicates that this font was removed.

It would be useful for the terminal to report an error on a missing font
file.

unfortunately there is no installer for me to reinstall terminator for
20.04 :-(

Hoping tha tcomes along soon.

2020-03-17 Thread aPlatypus
I am getting this message very very frequently.

   Ubuntu 19.10

from the command line.  The most intersting thing is that I may have 5
or 6 bash windows open.  Aftetr executiong Meld from one terminal
window.  If I subsequently use meld from a Different teminal session,
these errors spray-out on that first terminal's window:

 :

I execute meld with the following command

   nohup  meld "${@}"   > /dev/null  2>&1  &

Which sends output to  dev/null.  I am very surprised to see these
messages coming on any screen since the output is sent to null.

It looks to me like there's some kind of service involved not the
actuall meld background process

As you can see the requisite directory is There!

I am sad to report that this kind of error has been seen before on 19.04
I had hoped eventually someone would correct this -- There is a systemic
failure here makins snaps.  None of them appear to work with my install.

My home directory is on Another disk.  This is pretty much standard
practice in my work place.  I recommend this problem be fixed for ALL
snaps.

[Bug 1859105] [NEW] Upgrade upgrade 19.04 to 19.10 Fails on nvidia-dkms-418 post-installation

2020-01-09 Thread aPlatypus
Public bug reported:

The Upgrader process stopped and recommended reporting this error:

  subprocess returned error exit status 10

That nvidia driver package seems strange too.  I had thought I was
using:

  nvidia-driver-430

I have run a reconfigure command as advised by the upgrade script:

  sudo dpkg --configure -a

I get errors here to for much the same reason I believe.  Output:

The current system information is as shown below.  My next step is to attempt 
to explicitly uninstall this  nvidia-driver-418 and move to one of the drivers 
shown for the custom drivers on software update.

The Upgrade to 19.10 reports as incomplete.  Unfortunately the terminal
just closed itself at the end and I can't show you the output it gave
me.  It would be an essential thing for the Upgrader itef to save the
output some place and Tell Me where to find the file so I may attach it
or paste it into the bug report.  Please?

OK rebooting now.  Thank you for your wonderful work.  This is the first
time I've had an upgrade problme.  And it seems to be a nvidia issue not
an Ubuntu one.

[Bug 1826460] Re: Every snap gives "create user data directory" after upgrade to 19.04

2019-07-31 Thread aPlatypus
Greetings ...

Yes I'm seeing this as well.  It has become annoying since I decided I'd
rather like to be using LXD.

BUT lxd defaults to install as a snap.  *crunch* point.  Now I see this
nonsense all the time:

May I install lxd as a PPA or a 'normal' package?

Anyway however things are currently set -- Does not server quite a few
people it seems.  Until now I found I can live life without snaps.  Does
it also mean I will need to decide to live without lxd(???)


Am I mistaken to consider that this is a backward step?  

Sincerely,

[Bug 1640297] Re: 16.04.1 LTS hang during boot 4.4.0-45-generic with /etc/crypttab. Boots fine in 4.4.0-42-generic and older

2017-01-28 Thread aPlatypus
I am getting this with 4.4.0-59-generic, I'm booted off a thumb drive
using 4.4 and this systems update manager is prompting to upgrade the
kernel to 4.4.0-59.  Which I'm obviously NOT doing. However my point is
why is this still in circulation -- Shouldn't it be pulled off the list
of packages?

I am not sure how other people managed to get command output, my system
hangs just after it says Loading Virtual Drive or RAM-disk.  And
"Console not available" which sucks, since it is just dead.

Also I am not sure about numbering scheme here.  Is v4.10-rc5, 0.6
increments away from 4.4.0-59? Is that the right way to read this?

@delt - Yes I've been having this problem come and go for at least 4
months now.  There's a thread on the Linux Mint forums but i can't give
a reference tonight because the site is down for maintenance.  I don't
know that that would be helpful though.  Until I found this error in my

2015-12-02 Thread aPlatypus
Hi - I'm seeing this problem on an up-to-date Linux Mint 17.2,  Rafaela
installed.  And as current as update manager and apt-get network access
allow it.

Most concerning is that he

$ apt-get update

Command is failing on some URL-s.   I've put a description on
StackOverflow if someone has ideas on how to resolve this before there's
a permanent fix.

*  http://unix.stackexchange.com/posts/243583

The problem I'm seeing eventually clears, so I thought it was dns cache
related.  After finding this error in the network-manager log I don't
wonder if it might go deeper.  (Thanks for listening)
