Bug#347793: libc6: well the 'most basic pthread program' is in error

2006-01-19 Thread Britton Leo Kerin
Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.5-8
Followup-For: Bug #347793


The pthread_join call is wrong, as the second argument isn't the
address of an actual pointer.  Get it right:

  void *return_pointer;
  return_code = pthread_join (thread, &return_pointer);

and the complaint goes away.  So I guess my bug is what libc is
complaining about, albiet in a fairly inscrutable way.

So I guess this is not a bug.

Bug#346106: sox: seg fault (probably during command line parsing)

2006-01-05 Thread Britton Leo Kerin
Package: sox
Version: 12.17.9-1
Severity: normal


Example:

greenwood$ touch foo
greenwood$ sox -t cdr foo - -t sw foo.raw
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Doesn't matter if foo is or isn't actually a cdr file, so I guess this
is a problem parsing the command line.  The error in the above is the
hyphen after foo (shouldn't be there since we aren't reading from
standard input), but of course this shouldn't make a crash.

Bug#346539: gnucash: account completion remembers old names of renamed accounts

2006-01-08 Thread Britton Leo Kerin
Package: gnucash
Version: 1.8.10-12
Severity: minor

I renamed an account two levels down an account tree (probably doesn't
matter where the account is in the tree, but I haven't confirmed) and
then entered some more transactions from that account, and the
completion code still wants to complete with the old name of the
renamed account.

Bug#347793: libc6-dev: most basic pthread program produces strange messages on stderr at exit

2006-01-12 Thread Britton Leo Kerin
Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.3.5-8
Severity: normal

This minimal program, test_threads.c:

   #include 
   #include 
   #include 
   #include 

   int thread_return;

   void *
   thread_function (void *arg)
   {
 int idx;
 for ( idx = 0 ; idx < 3 ; idx++ ) {
   sleep (1);
   printf ("thread_arg: %d\n", *((int *)arg));
 }

 thread_return = 42;

 pthread_exit (&thread_return);
   }


   int
   main (void)
   {
 int thread_arg = 2;
 pthread_t thread;
  
 int return_code;

 //  pthread_attr_t thread_attrs;
 //  return_code = pthread_attr_init (&thread_attrs);

 return_code = pthread_create (&thread, NULL, thread_function,
(void *) &thread_arg);
 assert (return_code == 0);

 int **return_location;
 return_code = pthread_join (thread, (void **) return_location);
 assert (return_code == 0);

 printf ("thread_return: %d\n", **return_location);

 return 0;
   }

Compiled this way:

   gcc -Wall -D_REENTRANT test_threads.c -lpthread -o test

without any errors or warnings, produces this output when run:

   thread_arg: 2
   thread_arg: 2
   thread_arg: 2
   thread_return: 42
 1581:
 1581: runtime linker statistics:
 1581:final number of relocations: 139
 1581: final number of relocations from cache: 7

with the latter four lines being on stderr.  Is there some debugging
information that didn't get turned off or something?  I guess this
might be a libc bug report?

Uncommenting the lines that set up the thread_attrs structure and
passing a pointer to it to pthread_create insteal of NULL as the
second argument yields a different weird output:

   thread_arg: 2
   thread_arg: 2
   thread_arg: 2
   thread_return: 42

Bug#350055: glibc-doc: nanosleep documentation misleading about second (output) argument behavior

2006-01-26 Thread Britton Leo Kerin
Package: glibc-doc
Version: 2.3.5-8
Severity: normal


The nanosleep info documentation seems to be saying that the second
argument (struct timespec *REMAINING in that reference) is filled in
with a timespec value of 0 even if the function was not interupted by
a signal:

 -- Function: int nanosleep (const struct timespec *REQUESTED_TIME,
  struct timespec *REMAINING)
 If resolution to seconds is not enough the `nanosleep' function
  can
 be used.  As the name suggests the sleep interval can be
  specified
 in nanoseconds.  The actual elapsed time of the sleep interval
 might be longer since the system rounds the elapsed time you
 request up to the next integer multiple of the actual resolution
 the system can deliver.

 *`requested_time' is the elapsed time of the interval you want to
 sleep.

 The function returns as *`remaining' the elapsed time left in the
 interval for which you requested to sleep.  If the interval
 completed without getting interrupted by a signal, this is zero.

In reality this is not the case.  `remaining' is only filled in if
nanosleep returned -1.  This implemented behavior is consistent with
the documentation visible in 'man nanosleep' and these other
references:

http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/nanosleep.html
http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man2/nanosleep.2.html
http://www.mkssoftware.com/docs/man3/nanosleep.3.asp
http://docs.hp.com/en/B9106-90009/nanosleep.2.html

Note that since `remaining' is probably untouched if 0 is returned,
the behavior the info page is describing could be achieved by setting
`remaining' to {0, 0} before the nanosleep call.  However, the info
documentation doesn't say anywhere that this should be done.

Bug#350076: subversion: svn diff --diff-cmd option fails inscrutably

2006-01-26 Thread Britton Leo Kerin
Package: subversion
Version: 1.2.3dfsg1-3
Severity: minor


This works: 

 svn diff --diff-cmd=diff sleep_on_option.c  | less

but this (using fldiff) doesn't:

 svn diff --diff-cmd=fldiff sleep_on_option.c  | less
 ^^

I see some output in the terminal like this:

diff: option requires an argument -- L
diff: Try `diff --help' for more information.
Index: sleep_on_option.c
===

and fldiff dialog pops up saying 
 
'Unable to optn "-L": No such file or directory'

Now since fldiff can be invoked 'fldiff file1 file2' just like diff,
you would expect it to work here, or if not, you would expect a
specification somewhere from svn saying just how it intends to invoke
the supplied diff command.  But I didn't find anything like that.
Alternately, svn diff could provide some way to output what exactly
its doing at run time.

The -L option to GNU diff does this:

`-L LABEL'
`--label=LABEL'
 Use LABEL instead of the file name in the context format (*note
 Context Format::) and unified format (*note Unified Format::)
 headers.

But its not worth trying to use this option (at least when --diff-cmd
is specified) if its going to break other diff programs.

It looks like fldiff is itself subversion aware, so you can just do
fldiff file.c in your working copy, but I don't think this has
anything to do with the above trouble, since fldiff still works fine
when invoked on two different files in a subversion repository.

Bug#350236: /usr/share/man/man2/kill.2.gz: effect of kill send by process to itself not fully clear

2006-01-27 Thread Britton Leo Kerin
Package: manpages-dev
Version: 2.17-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/share/man/man2/kill.2.gz


The nots section of the kill man page contains this paragraph:

POSIX 1003.1-2003 requires that if a process sends a signal to
itself, and that process does not have the signal blocked, and no
other thread has it unblocked or is waiting for it in sigwait(),
at least one unblocked signal must be delivered to the sending
thread before the call of kill() returns.

Presumably this means that if a thread which doesn't have the signal
blocked in its mask raises the signal, it is gauranteed to get it
before kill returns even if all other threads do have it blocked, but
it would be nice if this were stated explicitly.  Probably language
elsewhere in the standard makes this clear, but this excert taken in
isolation leaves some room for doubt, especially given the history of
thread implementation on linux.

Bug#350945: subversion: inscrutable error message while trying to create tag from working copy

2006-02-01 Thread Britton Leo Kerin
Package: subversion
Version: 1.2.3dfsg1-3
Severity: normal


The svn book
(http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch04s06.html#svn-ch-4-sect-6.2)
describes creating a complex tag this way:

   $ ls
   my-working-copy/

   $ svn copy my-working-copy
   http://svn.example.com/repos/calc/tags/mytag

   Committed revision 352.

This doesn't work for me:

   greenwood$ svn copy $(pwd)/trunk 
file://$HOME/projects/rawrec/svn_repository/tags/complicated_pause_states
   svn: Commit failed (details follow):
   svn: Invalid change ordering: new node revision ID without delete
   svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
   svn:'svn-commit.2.tmp'

I'm guess this doesn't work because what I have are edited sources
that I would like to make a snapshot of, not sources assembled from
various other version, which is the context of the tagging example
from the svn book.  However, the error message is inscrutable enough
that I can't really tell.

Bug#365642: gnome: same problem with at least one other Keyboard pref->layout Option

2006-06-18 Thread Britton Leo Kerin
Package: gnome
Followup-For: Bug #365642


I have a similar problem with Keyboard Preferences->Ctrl key
position->Make CapsLock an additional Ctrl.

But since there are at least two settings with this issue seems like a
decent chance it may be a more general problem.

I'm running the latest nvidia drivers (NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8762),
installed the evil subversive way (i.e. using the makeself package
from the nvidia site, rather than the debian packages).  I had the
same problem before upgrading (in hope of fixing problem) from
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8178.  Not that I have any great reason for
thinking its an xserver problem, just seems like a possibility.

To get so I could log in at all I had to remove the following from
~/.gconf/%gconf-tree.xml:


  ctrl   ctrl:nocaps


Not sure why the other reporter ended up having to deal with
%gconf.xml instead.

It crashed gnome and then can't log back in just as for other
reporter.

I think this bug is maybe a bit higher than normal severity since for
a good part of the userbase that GNOME is aimed at it probably makes
the computer unusable.

Bug#384104: gnome: making caps lock an additional ctrl give slightly different cntr-x cntr-c behavior in emacs

2006-08-21 Thread Britton Leo Kerin
Package: gnome
Severity: minor


Recent GNOME version crashed when you tried to make caps lock an
additional control (Desktop->prefereces->keyboard->layout
options->Ctrl key position).  It doesn't crash now, but it doesn't
really work absolutely as expected either.

I selected the "Make CapsLock an addiutional Ctrl." option, and now
when I try to exit emacs at high speed with C-x C-c, usually the C-c
seems to get lost.  If I bang the c and x keys a bit more slowly and
distinctly it always works.

If I use the actual Ctrl key marked as such on the keyboard, there is
no such problem.

Bug#432149: fetchmailconf: username with '@' required by email service provider causes problems

2007-07-07 Thread Britton Leo Kerin
Package: fetchmailconf
Version: 6.3.6-1
Severity: normal


I have a service provider which requires my username to be:

   [EMAIL PROTECTED]

fetchmailconf warns me that this can cause trouble, but I don't have a
choice since this is what fastmail explicitly requires.  The produced 
config file then contains the line:

poll mail.messagingengine.com with proto IMAP
   user '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' there with password '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' is 
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' here options keep

Which isn't what I want (want just bkerin here).  I hand edited it and
it solved my problem.  But if major email service providers like
fastmail.fm are going to require usernames like this, I think it would
be worth some sort of configuration help to support it.

Incidently, I first tried to make things go using just fetchmail from
the command line, but using -u [EMAIL PROTECTED] there caused
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]@the.host.they.make.you.use' to get used
elsewhere.  I didn't find out how to avoid this problem with command
line options, so I'm still coming out ahead with fetchmailconf.  But
something maybe should be done to clarify how to use the command line
options in this case as well.  Note that the.host.they.make.you.use is
not 'fastmail.fm', hence the trouble.

Bug#432149: fetchmailconf: actually it works (but confused me)

2007-07-07 Thread Britton Leo Kerin
Package: fetchmailconf
Version: 6.3.6-1
Followup-For: Bug #432149


Ok, actually you do get to change the offered local name to bkerin in
the GUI dialog for the individual user if you want.  So all I can say
is that it confused me (daunting to have to remove the very user ID
you are trying to add).  Perhaps the warning dialog that gets popped
up if you leave the name with the ampersand there could be modified to
give a pointer in this situation).

Also, the situation with @ in the user ID being required by email
service providers is common (the other one I have access to required
it as well) or maybe universal.

Bug#359948: vorbis-tools: ogg123 undocumentedly requires -d to preceed -f

2006-03-29 Thread Britton Leo Kerin
Package: vorbis-tools
Version: 1.1.1-3
Severity: minor


Actually the man page doesn't really even say that -f is going to
require -d, and the error message that you get when you try -f alone
doesn't say that you need to have the -d preceed the -f, though this
requirement probably makes sense.  So it ends up looking like it just
doesn't work unless you happen to try switching the options around.
