Bug#673534: reportbug: supplying an e-mail address should be optional, not required

2012-05-20 Thread marc . carter-ceqosy2
It's foolish to require a bug submitter to supply an email address. I stop here. Debian BTS is email-based, so you *need* a working email address in order to be contacted by who needs to get your input. Nonsense. In principle, of course an e-mail address is not required. Followup questions

Bug#670712: Info hash already used by another torrent.

2012-05-18 Thread marc . carter-ceqosy2
I'm not sure if this is related or gives insight, but I should add that the following warning appears everytime rtorrent launches: Info hash already used by another torrent. It seems harmless, and eventually goes away. I'm certainly not doing anything that would cause multiple torrents to

Bug#670712: graceful termination also causes metadata loss

2012-05-17 Thread marc . carter-ceqosy2
I have now observed the same dataloss when the shutdown is non-interactive but graceful. Specifically, I ran: pkill -SIGINT rtorrent from the commandline. The text during shutdown appeared to mirror that of using control-q. Then restarted with: rtorrent -o

Bug#670712: rtorrent: Ratio loss

2012-05-16 Thread marc . carter-ceqosy2
This is not just a loss of the upload count. The torrent session that just lost the upload count also lost the file-specific priority settings. The file priority can be off, high, or nothing. Some files were off, but were reset back to (nothing). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to

Bug#670712: rtorrent: Ratio loss

2012-05-16 Thread marc . carter-ceqosy2
Do you mean a shutdown and restart of the whole machine, or just rtorrent? How do you quit rtorrent? Sometimes I exit gracefully (control-q), and sometimes I abruptly do a sudo shutdown -h now. I have just confirmed that the ratio loss certainly occurs on abrupt shutdowns. A torrent had a ratio

Bug#671624: workaround

2012-05-06 Thread marc . carter-ceqosy2
Not sure, why you used \RequirePackage here, I could reproduce the problem when using \usepackage{graphicx}. I'm not sure why I used \RequirePackage either - the original document that broke in the etch-squeeze transation is autogenerated. After exchanging both \usepackage commands the

Bug#668807: the severity should be reduced

2012-04-14 Thread marc . carter-ceqosy2
After further investigation, the example usage does not conform to the latest (apparently newly changed) syntax. That is, a -- is now needed before addresses. So the correct command would be: mutt -a $HOME/.bashrc -s trying to send a file -- mym...@email.com simply sending a file and then

Bug#668094: Gnome Terminal version 2.30.2

2012-04-09 Thread marc . carter-ceqosy2
Sorry Folkert, that was a typo. I meant to say the -sw 120,80 option causes the problem, but changing it to -sw 70,80 resolves the problem. So the bug is related to size constraints. After further experimentation, I've found that it's not reproducable within my customized gnome-terminal

Bug#668094: boundary testing

2012-04-09 Thread marc . carter-ceqosy2
I've discovered how to reproduce this without messing with gnome-terminal settings. Start by passing a very wide parameter to multitail: multitail -sw 500,10 -R 15 -l ls -R 45 -l ls This (correctly) gives an error which indicates the width limit: --*- multitail 5.2.2 (C) 2003-2007 by

Bug#668094: more specifics

2012-04-08 Thread marc . carter-ceqosy2
After experimenting with all the options, I've discovered that the segfault is related to the -sw 120,80 option. I was able to work around the segfault by changing it to -sw 120,80. My terminal font in the new squeeze installation seems to be bigger, which means I have fewer characters. It
