Bug#606826: upgrade-reports: release notes should warn about vital NFS mounts during upgrade

 Hi.
 
 Basically I had /var/cache/apt, linked to /home/root/apt, and /home was NFS
 mount.
 

It is not a good idea to link /var/x to /home/y :

* /var is (more or less) mandatory for booting, and get mounted early
* /usr should not be needed to boot (and can be monted later)
* /home is not needed at all to boot, and can come late

Bug#604172: lincity-ng crash (easyly reproducible)

2010-12-02 Thread Alain Baeckeroot
Hi

i digged a little more this weird bug :
In attachment you'll find 
- a simple patch that fix this (or more probably a workaround)
- the backtrack from gdb (on latest svn)
(game map is bounded by (0,0)  (x,y)  (100,100) )

I just don't understand why this bug does not happen all the time, 
and stayed hidden for so long (it appears in a very stable part of
the code, untouched for years)

I'll try to have a deeper understanding later.

Cheers
Alain

 I cannot reproduce this. (amd64, Squeeze).
 
 Can you reproduce this yourself or did you just see the report on the 
 development
 mailing list? If so, do you know how to generate a backtrace?
 

I am one of the upstream maintainers of lincity-ng
I can reproduce this bug in squeeze-amd64 (packaged or rebuild)

On fedora14-amd64 it is a bit stranger :
- the fedora packaged version is named-fc12 
 `file lincity-ng` says something like elf64 for linux-2.6.18
  it works flawlessly in f14

- my personal rebuid on fc14 
  `file lincity-ng` says something like elf64 for linux-2.6.32
it crashes at first buldozer tool selection.


I don't know what means the for linux 2.6.X given by the file command, maybe
 this could help me to track down this bug.

I'll post a bt trace from gdb soon (i must sleep now :) )

Cheers
Alain

I am still confused about backports (outside of debian if i understand)

When searching on 
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=openoffice.orgsearchon=namessuite=allsection=all

i see debian-backports in the answers :-). So is it inside or outside debian ?

It would be good to clarify, and imho use backports informations and 
bugreports : 
Its is very usefull to use a rock solid base (lenny) with new
packages from testing/unstable...

ah, sorry, i thought it was bts for all debian tastes including backports

Where backports bugreports should be sent ?

 
  Working on a big xls spreadsheet converted to .ods is awfuly slow (compared 
  to 2.4
 
 And what should we do without that speadsheet, please?
 Search for the (unknown) needle in the haystack?
(thx google translate for understanding this :)
i guess i'm not alone with this pb.

 
 *Always* attach the file or at least a testcase, otherwise reports like
 this are pretty useless.
ok, ill try to build a testcase when i have time (i cannot send the file)

 
 And 3.0.1?
3.0.1 was better, (more or less like 2.4) and usable.
 
  It makes OO 3.1 nearly unusable : 
 
 Ah, yeah, sure...
 
  it is need to wait one minute after scrolling the page with many graphics,
  the mouse wheel is unusable.
 
 Uhm, well, maybe then you shouldn't have uselessly big spreadsheets
This spreadsheet is big, i cannot change it. (well i m working on

 with many graphics? Probably they bogusly are all on the same sheet, too?
They are on the same sheet on purpose, its not bogus its a feature,
(it is needed to see everything in the same page)
and i'm sad to say M$-office handle this correctly, so it is technically
possible (and OOo sucks it is awfully slow compared to M$ in virtualbox)

 something I can hardly tolerate?
 
 I know that the database package is currently not packaged by us, but I
 think that octave-ftp has the same problems, hasn't it?
 
 [1] TTBOMK, it's a problem with the SWIG wrapper, isn't it?

Afaik it is swig which is absolutely totally broken, octave is fine.
(using swig also creates lots of global variables, 108 in database pkg...)

I sent our small replacement tools to octave-dev, so maybe we will
soon have a replacement for the broken database package (which is
not part of debian).

  It _does_ really change the usability with big documents/mail
 
 no newer bug won't help,
 what is needed are benchmark test runs against higher HZ
 and one for PREEMPT. higher HZ should no longer matter since nohz,
 so it should be fine for server workloads too, but this needs to be
 shown. afais HZ_1000 is also the fedora default.
  
I don't know howto benchmark interactivity responsiveness.
For me it is obvious change from unusable (OO with big calc
 and graphic), very laggy (kmail checking new messages)  to
 smooth.

If you have a benchmark protocol for debian i'll run it on my 
laptop (core2duo 1.8 GHz + 3 GB RAM) and send results.

 This is an automatic notification regarding your Bug report

 #518154: x11-xkb-utils: missing multimedia keys / Ubuntu global workaround

 It has been closed by Julien Cristau jcris...@debian.org.

 Their explanation is attached below along with your original report.
 If this explanation is unsatisfactory and you have not received a
 better one in a separate message then please contact Julien Cristau
 jcris...@debian.org by replying to this email.

I understand very little of your explainations except what i did is ugly :-) 
(i spent half a day to find this ubuntu stuff)

But the problem is still here for the users of (our beloved brand new ) lenny.
 http://wiki.debian.org/Keyboard/MultimediaKeys advices to 
create a ~/.xmodmaprc for each user. This does not look much better.

 setting XkbModel to the right value in xorg.conf would fix that.
how to know the correct XkbModel ?
I have : 
Section InputDevice
Identifier  Generic Keyboard
Driver  kbd
Option  XkbRules xorg
Option  XkbModel pc105
Option  XkbLayout fr
Option  XkbVariant latin9
EndSection

I'll can put you explaintions in the wiki, or better read you in the wiki if 
you have time to do this :)

btw, i'd appreciate any hint to reduce the size of the popup window, or should 
i fill a wishreport against some package ?

Bug#475127: does not respect /etc/nsswitch order

2008-04-09 Thread Alain Baeckeroot
Package: nscd
Version: 2.6.1-1ubuntu10
Severity: grave

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
With nscd my user name is the one given by the nis, and not
the one give by /etc/passwd _BUT_ it should:

# /etc/nsswitch.conf
passwd: files nis
group:  files nis

Stopping nscd is enough to get things right.

Bug#461346: lincity-ng-data: help/en/windmill.xml malformed

2008-01-24 Thread Alain Baeckeroot
Hello, one wish 

It would be good to split the lincity-ng-data package in two parts
* lincity-ng-data with real data = sound, images, fonts ... ~30 MB in tgz
* lincity-ng-l10n with help files and translations :
data/help/
data/locale/
data/gui/   (yes gui/ is only xml text describing the ui)
  Together these 3 dir putted in a tgz weight only 800kB

This would ease translations upgrade (currently 3 more translations
are being done :) and prevent useless bandwidth usage.

Cheers.
Alain

Bug#461659: warsow: New version of warsow possibly non-distributable.

   Hello,
 
   Seems I've completely missed the point in my first post.

   This two points are contradictory: 3 says no one can distribute, 4
 says it's fine to distribute if you don't touch anything. Moreover,
 there are two different groups mentioned in here: the 'Chasseurs de

 debian-legal. To me, it looks like a very badly-written license with
 ambiguous clauses.

I copy here:

Question from player:
The Warsow code is GPL'ed, the Warsow content is proprietary.
Why is the content proprietary?
Who thinks it is desirable for the content to be proprietary and
what is the reason for that thinking?

Regards, qubodup

Answer from one Team member:
The authors think it. It's our right and we don't have to give any reason to 
anyone.

Topic closed.


This is very clear :(

Bug#449554: konqueror: man pages viewed in konqueror are not in utf-8 (but in iso8859 for fr ...)

2007-11-06 Thread alain Baeckeroot
Package: konqueror
Version: 4:3.5.7-4~bpo40+1
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***
When reading man pages in konqueror, in french, i must select manually the
correct encoding = iso8859-15 

I thought all etch was in utf8.
Maybe this bug should be attributed to manpages-fr instead of konqueror ?

 When I tried to build a tip, I got a popup window with
 the message 0x810de0c135228317 '0' in it. Now what
 does that mean? :-) . BTW: I already have 4 tips.
 
 Greetings, Lothar

Can you provide the saved game (in ~/.lincity/ the current game is 9_...)

Bug#414802: lincity-ng: Can not build solar power station

2007-03-14 Thread alain Baeckeroot
Hi

Le mardi 13 mars 2007 14:58, Lothar Guthmann a écrit :
 Package: lincity-ng
 Version: 1.0.3-2
 Severity: normal
 
 In theory I should be able to build a solar PS
 (tech level 54.1). I can select the icon and get
 a blue building square on an appropiate place on the
 landscape, but when I click the left mouse button,
 nothing happens. My money is at the moment at
 -1169M 

The bug is the lack of warning message. The message exists :
  data/messages/no-credit-solar-power.mes
and is supposed to appear:
  src/lincity-ng/MapEdit.cpp:ok_dial_box (no-credit-solar-power.mes, BAD, 
0L);

Its a feature, when your finance is negative, some buildings cannot
be built.

I can reproduce this bug, with the same config as you (2.6.18-4-k7 too).

 (the minus is NOT shown, which means 
 another bug here).
yes, another bug. (congrats for being so poor ;)

I forward these 2 bugs to lincity-ng team, but i m very new to [EMAIL 
PROTECTED],
so i don't know yet what to do to help maintaining lincity-ng package.

Cheers
Alain
