Bug#564548: to be more precise...
Bug #569475 (which was merged with this bug) claimed that the change depended on the GUI style. Indeed, logout/login/start qtconfig and now qtconfig's display indicates that it's remembered "cleanlooks" and "11pt" (and yes, this does seem to be style-dependent??). But applications do not start in 11pt until I've changed the size and saved again. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Bug#563468: acroread opens and locks sound device
Subject: acroread opens and locks sound device Package: acroread Version: 9.1.0-0.5 Severity: normal *** Please type your report below this line *** I open a PDF using acroread. At some point--not obviously related to anything I do--acroread decides to block access to the sound device. I don't know how to trigger this, but I know that it happens often or usually after acroread has been open for a few hours. At this point, I start getting errors when I try to play music using any software. Here's one from audacious2 2.2 (alsa 1.0.21+dfsg-2, no pulse etc). ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1010:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave alsa-gapless: snd_pcm_open failed: Device or resource busy. "lsof | grep pcm" revealed that acroread was accessing /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p. Closing acroread allows sound players to open the device again. acroread does not complain that anyone else has the sound device open, and doesn't seem to try to steal control. Sorry; this report is rather odd. I'd love to provide more info if you can tell me what to look for! -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages acroread depends on: ii acroread-data 9.1.0-0.5data files for acroread ii acroread-debian-files 0.0.33 Debian specific parts of Adobe Acr ii acroread-l10n-en [acror 9.1.0-0.5English language package for acror ii libatk1.0-0 1.28.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcups21.4.2-6 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-1.1generic font configuration library ii libfreetype62.3.11-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.2-8GCC support library ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1 7.6.1-1 A free implementation of the OpenG ii libglib2.0-02.22.3-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libglu1-mesa [libglu1] 7.6.1-1 The OpenGL utility library (GLU) ii libgtk2.0-0 2.18.5-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libidn111.15-2 GNU Libidn library, implementation ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.17-2.1 OpenLDAP libraries ii libpango1.0-0 1.26.2-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libstdc++6 4.4.2-8 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-62:1.3.2-1X11 client-side library ii libxext62:1.0.4-1X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxml2 2.7.6.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii libxt6 1:1.0.7-1X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages acroread recommends: ii gconf22.28.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste Versions of packages acroread suggests: ii acroread-l10n-en [acroread-l1 9.1.0-0.5 English language package for acror pn acroread-plugins (no description available) pn mozilla-acroread (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#464242: tex-common: Paper size, again again again
Package: tex-common Version: 1.10 Severity: important There have been numerous default-paper-size bugs reported. The argument against fixing them seems to be along the lines of "The user can figure it out." Well, yes, the user _can_, but the user can also write a complete OS from scratch. Downloading something is _supposed_ to be easier than writing it from scratch BECAUSE downloaded programs are supposed to do some of the standard work for you. There is a comment in /usr/share/doc/tex-common/README.Debian that says The Debian TeX Live packages currently do not evaluate the settings of `/etc/papersize', please set the paper geometry explicitly in the (La)TeX source, e.g. using the packages `geometry' or `hyperref'. That is very poor behaviour. Here's why: * TeX is designed to let you concentrate on what you're writing rather than on layout. For this reason TeX has a very nice page-breaking algorithm that handles layout for you so you don't have to worry about where page breaks are, or what size paper you're using. The Debian policy is counter to this philosophy. * If I write all my documents and have to specify in each one what size paper to use, and then I want to send them to a collaborator who will be printing drafts on _her_ printer, and she lives somewhere with a different paper size, then each of us will have to modify the document back and forth, back and forth, at each printing. Again, if I move to somewhere with a different paper size, I should be able to set that systemwide and have everything adjust, rather than modify every document I've ever written or had sent to me. * "There is no default; specify paper size per document" is stupid. What about specifying a font size, weight, italics or not, duplex or not, etc? Why have defaults at all? Why is it appropriate to have a default font size but not to have a default paper size? Here's the thing: the paper size I want to use will depend on the printer to which my computer is connected, not on which document I am printing. Therefore the setting should be per printer (or tray), which is a bit complicated. However, since writing is compiled per computer, a reasonable approximation is this: printers in the USA and Canada use "letter", while printers in the civilised world use "a4". So the default paper size can usually be safely set per printer location, which is roughly per computer. If you travel, you should be able to change ONE THING and have access to all the local printers. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23.14 (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages tex-common depends on: ii debconf 1.5.19 Debian configuration management sy ii ucf 3.004 Update Configuration File: preserv tex-common recommends no packages.

Bug#466944: exiv2: Exiv2 destroys files when operating on links
Package: exiv2 Version: 0.16-3 Severity: important Take a jpg file with exif data. Make a symlink to the file (I used a file of the same name in a different directory). Run exiv2, adding a field to the file. Expected behaviour: strictly undefined, but I would think that the operation would be done on the linked-to file. Two problems: (1) The link is no longer a link, and (2) the linked-to file is overwritten and has length 0. ie. it has been completely destroyed. For example, there exists IMG_4590.jpg in ~/Desktop. Now I do cd /tmp ln -s ~/Desktop/IMG_4590.jpg exiv2 -M"add Exif.Image.Copyright foo" IMG_4590.jpg ls -l ~/Desktop/IMG_4590.jpg The original file is fubar. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23.14 (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages exiv2 depends on: ii libc6 2.7-8GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libexiv2-2 0.16-3 EXIF/IPTC metadata manipulation li ii libgcc1 1:4.3-20080202-1 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.3-20080202-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 exiv2 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#443205: xorg: SendCoreEvents leads to duplicate events
Package: xorg Version: 1:7.3+2 Followup-For: Bug #443205 On my Thinkpad T41 (latest Unstable as of 20 minutes ago), I see the reported symptoms with the most recent upgrade (previous upgrade was a few weeks ago; no problems at that time). xev reports duplicate mouse events. Here is its output from a single left button click: ButtonPress event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x1e1, root 0x46, subw 0x0, time 5561272, (31,150), root:(656,179), state 0x0, button 1, same_screen YES ButtonPress event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x1e1, root 0x46, subw 0x0, time 5561272, (31,150), root:(656,179), state 0x100, button 1, same_screen YES ButtonRelease event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x1e1, root 0x46, subw 0x0, time 5561351, (31,150), root:(656,179), state 0x100, button 1, same_screen YES ButtonRelease event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x1e1, root 0x46, subw 0x0, time 5561351, (31,150), root:(656,179), state 0x0, button 1, same_screen YES Those are real duplicates. Cutting and pasting that with the middle button resulted in the same content twice (ie. eight events) but that I deleted 4 of them, leaving what you see. This happens whenever I have both "Clit" and "Generic Mouse" enabled in xorg.conf:ServerLayout (using "builtin"), but does not happen with just "Clit" and "TouchPad".

Update: the lines below "test -z $2" break resolvconf 1.43, as they do not respect the link /etc/resolv.conf -> /etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf Is there another mechanism that does what dpkg-reconfigure looks like it's trying to do?

Odd.

I have that unmarked as you describe, but who cares? Jabref should not be sending system notifications (through KDE or through any other means) when it redraws, should it? Many thanks for trying.
