Just did dist-upgrade and the bug is still there.
packages.debian.org says it is 1:3.2.1-4, however help, about in
the program itself says 1:3.2.1-3.
Anyway the version I just got still has non-functional view,
zoom. Other openoffice functions which open sub-windows
work normally.

As this bug has not yet been solved, it may have been premature to
close it.

Extra data: I have another computer with Ubuntu 10.04 on it;
There, openoffice shows a different splash screen (Sun openoffice
3.2), and that version does not have the bug.

 yes I can confirm this with the Debian version of OpenOffice.org

 the window which appears seems to be ok

I am not sure we are talking about the same bug, because in my
case it is definitely not OK.

I am now using (according to Help, About)

  OpenOffice.org 3.2.1
  OOO320m19 (Build:9505)
  ooo-build 3.2.1.4, Debian package 1:3.2.1-3

The View, Zoom window appears to be a transparent window (i.e.
it shows what is underneath the window) with on the left top a
small part of what seems to be a menu; however, that menu part
does not do anything.

Moving the Zoom window is possible; however when I move it in such
a way that a part of it goes off the edge of the screen, and then
back, it fails to re-paint itself correctly.

I cannot make a picture of the Zoom window with the import
command (from imagemagick); the imported picture becomes
completely black.

I cannot describe it better, sorry, but in my previous message I
said that the Zoom window is seriously broken, and in my case
that's what it is.

My window manager is xfce (in case that is relevant).

Bug#587171: openoffice.org-writer: View, Zoom does not work

2010-06-25 Thread Jan Willem Stumpel
Package: openoffice.org-writer
Version: 1:3.2.1-3
Severity: important

This bug appeared some while ago, and has persisted for several months 
of dist-upgrades.

Click View, then Zoom. A seriously broken window appears from which 
it is impossible to do anything (let alone zoom the display). The window 
can be closed, but you cannot zoom. This makes checking the presence of 
small characters (like periods and commas, which are often too small to
be seen on an unzoomed screen) very difficult.

Regards, Jan.

Package: uim
Version: 1:1.5.7-8
Severity: normal

After a recent sid upgrade, uim behaves weirdly in text-mode (xterm)
applications. When I select the anthy input method, then type a, instead of
an underlined hiragana A, I see $ in tiny characters. It becomes a hiragana
A only after I accept the input (i.e. after pressing Enter).

I am used to iceweasel crashing often (at least once a day). After the last
upgrade however, it crashes about once every two minutes. This is getting

When I try to restart iceweasel after a crash, it now displays a screen
beginning with the text

  Well, this is embarrassing.
  Iceweasel is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is
  usually caused by a recently opened web page.

Not very helpful, that. At least it could say which web page caused the
crash. And anyway a good program should ignore bad input, not crash because
of it. I cannot reproduce the crashes. They seem random. To me, the program
has become unusable.

 ~/.xsession-errors says after each crash:
 (firefox-bin:13308): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid unclassed pointer in
 cast to `GtkObject'


Is it more stable with version 3.5.6 (and xulrunner-1.9.1 1.9.1.6-1) ?

Mike


It is. Even version 3.5.5. And I no longer see this embarrassing 
Embarrassing message.


Sorry I forgot to tell you. For a while I downgraded Firefox (and 
avoided upgrading it), but about 2 weeks ago I did upgrade it, and it 
seems perfectly stable now.

Which package do you mean exactly?

 either way, are you really using accelerated graphics on that
 computer?
Only the occasional game, like tuxracer. Do you mean that this
computer is really too old/constrained for such a thing?

Anyway, I solved my iceweasel stability problem now by downgrading
to version 3.0. It then refused to play java applets; but by
downgrading openjdk-6 and icedtea plugin to the previous version
in the cache, this was solved also. I'll put off upgrading for a
while. Of course this is not a real cure.

The many warnings Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead
still occur with many sites using flash. But they no longer seem
to matter much.

There were no messages on the terminal and no crash. Did not try

no youtube).

The Shockwave Flash is from the debian package
flashplugin-nonfree. If I uninstall it, I cannot play flash movies
(like youtube).

If I then reinstall it, youtube works without problems; but videos
on some other sites apparently do cause problems. An example is
http://www.myfoxboston.com (a news site). Some of the news items
show movies in a small window to the left. Then, with iceweasel
called from the terminal, there is a seemingly endless number of
warnings:

(firefox-bin:8785): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead

The warnings are serious. A few clicks later iceweasel crashed
(vanished with segfault). I cannot know for certain if the crash
is really caused by these XID collisions. When restarted,
iceweasel displayed the This is embarrassing screen again.

 What drivers are you using for your video card? How do you install them?

I don't know (nowadays I just use stock kernels and they always
work). I just checked though, and the game Foobilliard (which
requires hardware acceleration) no longer appears to be
accelerated. glxgears is slow. lsmod says I have a module called
radeon, which itself uses a module called drm.

According to apt-file search, the file R200_cp.bin is in the

and do something else now.

Well, I tried installing it, and there is both good news and bad
news. The good news is: in dmesg it now says

The bad news is that calling glxgears or foobilliard now
completely freezes the X keyboard and display. You have to get out
of it with the reset button (or by keeping alt-sysrq pressed and
typing reisubs). Also, if I don't call these accelerated
programs, iceweasel works, but its crash problem seems even worse
than before. Fortunately the damage can be recovered from by
un-installing the firmware-linux package.

Is my computer just too old for modern kernels or modern iceweasel
versions? It has 512 M of memory, which is considered meagre
nowadays, but this is of the DDR type, and I can't find extra
memory anywhere (only DDR2 in the shops now). Or should I try the
fglrx-modules-2.6.30-2-686 package (which is, AFAIK, the non-free
radeon driver package)?

  Iceweasel is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is
  usually caused by a recently opened web page.

Not very helpful, that. At least it could say which web page caused the
crash. And anyway a good program should ignore bad input, not crash because
of it. I cannot reproduce the crashes. They seem random. To me, the program
has become unusable.

 ~/.xsession-errors says after each crash:

I could not see any system in it. It seems to be random. After the
this is embarrassing message iceweasel restores all the old
tabs, seemingly without problems, but then visiting another random
site may cause a new crash.

Oh, I forgot to mention: the earlier problems I had with Iceweasel
(the once a day crashes) usually involved freezing. The
program stopped reacting; moving its window created weird trails
on the screen. This problem is different: the window suddenly
disappears.

Yes!! It was set in /etc/profile. I must have put it in there

the new azureus worked perfectly.

Perhaps a warning about this in README.Debian would be good idea:
Make sure that you don't have JAVA_HOME or JAVA_CMD environment
variables defined, otherwise the new version of Azureus may FAIL.
Check by means of env | grep JAVA . Or something.

Bug#542392: azureus: Refuses to start

2009-08-19 Thread Jan Willem Stumpel
Package: azureus
Version: 4.2.0.4-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I have openjdk-6-jre installed, because azureus used to depend on it.
openjdk works fine with other java applications as well, so no
complaints here. But (see bug report #515015) some users found it annoying
that other jre's, like Sun's, could not be used.

Now the latest azureus version corrects this, I believe by means of the script
java-wrappers.sh. I suppose sun jre users are now happy. But I am very
UNhappy, because now azureus refuses to start at all. The error messages
are:

/usr/lib/java-wrappers/java-wrappers.sh: line 243: /usr/lib/java/bin/java:
/ No such file or directory
/usr/lib/java-wrappers/java-wrappers.sh: line 243: exec:
/ /usr/lib/java/bin/java: cannot execute: No such file or directory

Why can't azureus simply use the /etc/alternatives mechanism?

 Well, I've tested it on openjdk, otherwise I wouldn't released it.

 I think it's something wrong with your installation. As Onkar pointed
 please provide debug information.

 Can you please try this?
 Modify the azureus launcher script (/usr/bin/azureus), and add
 DEBUG_WRAPPER=1 just before run_java.
 i.e. DEBUG_WRAPPER=1 run_java -Dazureus.install.path=$HOME/.azureus $UI \
 org.gudy.azureus2.ui.common.Main $@

 Try launching azureus from command line then and paste the output in the bug.

OK; the output doesn't look at all like yours:

or by exporting JAVA_CMD=/etc/alternatives/java before starting X.
 The output in such a case is:

 I think we both agree the problem is related to your
 environment and not the packaging.

That's very likely.

 It seems the java-wrapper script it's not finding your java
 runtime, which may be caused by a wrong environment
 configuration. Make sure you have no environment variables like
 JAVA_HOME or JAVA_CMD set, since the script may be able to find
 them properly, and set them locally for the script.

 Also, their use it's deprecated by the new java policy.

JAVA_HOME is set, to /usr/lib/java. I do not know where this is
set. JAVA_CMD is not normally set.

As to your other suggestions, I'll answer tomorrow (I have to get
up very early, so must hit the sack about now). BTW my previous
message must have crossed yours. Where can I read more about the
new java policy?

Thanks. I got it back by including terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp in the

BTW you closed the bug, I suppose because it is not an

2009-05-12 Thread Jan Willem Stumpel
Package: uim
Version: 1:1.5.5-1
Severity: normal


I reported a very similar bug in 2006 (#400880) but I doubt that this is
the same one.

When I select the systray version of uim my means of

   im-switch -s uim-systray

uim looks in systray like this:

   http://www.jw-stumpel.nl/uimsys.png

with all icons just dots.

On the other hand if I select the freely floating toolbar version (which I
do not like very much) by means of im-switch -s uim-toolbar, I get

   http://www.jw-stumpel.nl/uimtool.png

which is how it should be. 

In contrast with the earlier bug #400880, messing about with the
preferences setting or changing to xfce4 does not make any difference (I
use xfce4 already).

Bug#522417: ghostscript: Doesn't work with Brother printers

2009-04-03 Thread Jan Willem Stumpel
Package: ghostscript
Version: 8.64~dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Several Brother printers (at least HL2030, HL2040, HL2070; see the
debian-user list at the beginning of April 2009) stopped working when
ghostscript version 8.64 was introduced. Downgrading to 8.63 solves the 
problem. 

The Brother printer driver consists of 2 shell scripts and one
closed-source file supplied by Brother. The first shell script ensures that
the file to be printed is a .ps file, converting non-ps files to ps if
necessary. The second script runs gs, with bit as the output device. Then
the output is processed by the closed-source program and fed to the printer. 

The drivers can be downloaded from
http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/lpr_drivers.html 

(for lpr. There are also CUPS drivers; they also do not work with 8.64).

gs is called as follows by the second script: (note: one line is 92 chars
long)

GHOST_SCRIPT=`which gs`
OUTPUT_TYPE=bit
GHOST_OPT=-q -dNOPROMPT -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER -sDEVICE=$OUTPUT_TYPE -sOutputFile=- 
- -c quit 
exec $GHOST_SCRIPT -r$RESOLUTION -g${WIDTH}x${HEIGHT} $GHOST_OPT

No idea why this suddenly stopped working. But it did. The second script
(called psconv2) produces no output if version 8.64 is used.

This absurd. Many of these programs have nothing at all to do with
printing. And all the others can print very well, thank you, using lprng
instead of CUPS. 

Please remove these ridiculous dependencies.

You should not be telling what users should do. When you drop a
trusted functionality which available for 15 years, you should at
least have the politeness to warn users about this fact.

Bug#489765: libgtk2.0-0: does not allow lpr printing through Iceweasel 3

2008-07-07 Thread Jan Willem Stumpel
Package: libgtk2.0-0
Version: 2.12.10-2
Severity: important


Iceweasel 3 cannot print when using lprng; only when using CUPS.  

Installing libgtk2.0-0 by compiling the sources from gtk.org (there called 
gtk2+-2.10 or similar) cures the problem.

So it seems some Debian customisation of libgtk2.0-0 has killed lprng 
compatibility. There are many users who prefer lprng. They can't print 
from Iceweasel anymore, so this is a Bad Thing, making this bug Important. 

Please keep Debian applications as independent from each other as possible, 
in order to preserve freedom of choice for the users.

See also the discussion on the Debian user list, starting approx. at
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2008/07/msg00430.html

Well, yes, it did! Thanks very much!

But having to do this (while it was not necessary before) is a
surprise to the users -- therefore a bug. Some program should do
this automatically in its install procedure -- or prompt the user
to accept this. But which program? Iceweasel3? Or libgtk2.0-0?

Bug#481518: openoffice.org-writer: Some fonts display accented chars wrongly

2008-05-16 Thread Jan Willem Stumpel
Package: openoffice.org-writer
Version: 1:2.4.0-6
Severity: important


NOTE: this message is UTF-8 encoded

To reproduce this bug:
1) create a UTF-8 encoded text file containing some accented Latin characters, 
   like ø, ö, é, è.
2) start oo-writer, choose Insert File, insert the file you just made.
3) select the part with the accented letters, then choose various fonts.

Result: with some fonts (code2000, Freeserif, Century Schoolbook..) the accented
chars are displayed correctly.

With other fonts (FreeSans, CourierNew, FreeMono) the accented chars are 
changed:
e.g ø becomes ¯, ö becomes ^, é becomes È, è becomes Ë.

It appears to be a bug in oo, not in the fonts, because this does not happen 
in Abiword.

Bug#466236: azureus: Very high CPU load

2008-02-17 Thread Jan Willem Stumpel
Package: azureus
Version: 3.0.4.2-1
Severity: important


The download directory of Azureus is, in my case, on a fat32 partition. When
a download begins, azureus spends a very long time (5 - 20 minutes)
allocating space in the download directory. The time required seems to go
up faster than linearly with the size of the file to be downloaded.

While azureus is allocating, the load average of the machine goes to
ridiculous levels (at least 10). Everything (mouse, keyboard, the onscreen
clock) freezes. Sometimes I cannot even go to a VC with control-alt-F2;
sometimes I can, but I have to wait for a while until the system reacts to
the keyboard command. There are no error messages. After the waiting period
is over, the download begins. The load average remains fairly high (1 or so)
and according to top, java consumes about 25% CPU; this remains so until
the download is over.

I then discovered the option Tools - Options - Files - Enable
incremental file creation. With this, a download does not start with an
allocating phase. The download begins at once. At least, azureus says so;
but it is not true. By doing ls -al on the download directory I can see that
the complete file size is still being allocated in advance (with the same
effects as before: allocation proceeds very slowly, ridiculously high load
average, freeze of all processes including the download itself, which
remains at zero bytes until the allocation is finally finished).

This penomenon is fairly recent, but I could not say with which version of
azureus it started.

Bug#450942: azureus: Eclipse error (?) messages

2007-11-12 Thread Jan Willem Stumpel
Package: azureus
Version: 3.0.3.4-1
Severity: normal

When you put the mouse cursor anywhere in the Azureus window, a tooltip
message always appears:

   SWT_Close (no resource bundle)

Of course the user has no idea what this could possibly mean. It does not
seem to do any harm, but it is annoying. It is probably some debug
instrumentation from Eclipse (the system that, it seems, Azureus was
developed with).

Bug#450732: iceweasel: Does not print applet areas

2007-11-09 Thread Jan Willem Stumpel
Package: iceweasel
Version: 2.0.0.8-1
Severity: normal


Visit, with Java enabled, a page which contains a Java applet. Immodestly I
might suggest http://www.jw-stumpel.nl/bounce.html. Print it (or
print-preview it). The Java applet (at the bottom) is not printed; there is
a blank area where the applet should be. IE7 (on Windows) and Safari (on
Mac) do print the applet.

I rate this bug as normal, but for educational applications it should
probably be called important.

Bug#436923: psili/dasia problem (Aarghhh!)

2007-10-09 Thread Jan Willem Stumpel
Brice Goglin wrote:

 I have forwarded this bug on the upstream bugzilla at the URL
 above. Feel free to add any comments there if you think it
 could help. I know nothing about Greek accents and I don't have
 a Greek polytonic keyboard, so I won't be able to help much :)

At the moment in Sid, Greek breathing signs *again* do not work.

1- First some Greek developers called the breathing signs
   (falsely) dead_horn and dead_ogonek -- this was an ugly
   hack (and acknowledged as such by said developers) which worked
   fine for Greeks, but for nobody else on the planet (i.e. not
   for anyone working in a non-Greek locale).

2- Then dead_horn and dead_ogonek (which are entirely
   non-Greek keysyms, just borrowed by said Greek developers for
   the occasion) were replaced by U0313 and U0314 respectively. We
   enjoyed a short period in which Greek breathing signs could
   actually be typed by anyone in the whole wide world.

3- Then somebody thought it was a bright idea to again change the
   definitions of the breathing signs. In the Compose file U0313
   was changed into U1313. What could the poor user do? Make
   the same change in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/gr, of course.
   Debian did not do it, so the user had to do it by hand.

4- But in the latest Sid, the Compose file has reverted to
   definitions like U0313, while /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/gr has
   reverted to the use of dead_horn and dead_ogonek. So we are
   literally back to #1. Sigh..

TIMETE DANAOS ET DONA FERENTES!

When will we ever get a stable system for entering the Greek
breathing signs? It is not rocket science. It only requires that
the people maintaining the keyboard files agree with the people
maintaining the Compose file. I suspect that there are two
different groups of Greeks working on those files, independently
of one another. This has to stop. Somebody has to knock some heads
together.

Bug#401533: MATHML and Indic scripts

Alexander Sack wrote:

 I didn't look into the bug, but my guess would be that nobody
 really investigated how FC6 does resolve this issue and how to
 adapt that solution to debian.
 
 If this is all already in the bug, then I don't know ...
 otherwise please provide the needed info and I am sure that it
 will get fixed for iceweasel et al as well.

I used to be sure about this too.. but the solution has been in
the bug reports for a long time, and nothing happened. Behdad
Esfahbod made a patch. It is not possible (for me) to apply this
patch to the Debian sources because I lack the skills for this,
but any maintainer worth his salt could probably do so; in case of
difficulty, an e-mail to Esfahbod ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) would
probably clear up things pretty quickly.

In the meantime, whenever I want to use MATHML, I have to use the
FC6 version of Firefox, converted to Debian by means of alien.

I'd love to have the same capabilities with Debian packages, e.g.
seamonkey (a.k.a. iceape) as well. I just hope that Debian's fork
of mozilla is not the reason this does not happen.

 So here is my take: instead of spending time arguing and/or
 testing the patch, let's just spend time on fixing issues we
 actually care about for the very short term (like the gcc 4.2
 issue, because it seems the default gcc has now changed), and
 start packaging next upstream.
 
 Mike

I hope you agree that there are several serious problems with the
ice products on Debian at the moment, relating to *printing* and
*displaying* MATHML and Indic scripts. When I wrote 8 months ago
in http://www.jw-stumpel.nl/stestu.html#T9.3

  Indian mathematicians, it seems, are completely out of luck
  with Debian.

this was still a kind of joke; but to me, trying to exchange ideas
with a real-life Indian mathematician, it no longer is. Of course
whatever course you take is OK -- if it gets these problems fixed.
Any estimate on how long this will take? If it cannot be done
quickly, how about adopting the solution that has been available
for 9 months -- at least as an interim, untested measure, for Sid
only?

Bug#401533: MATHML and Indic scripts

2007-09-03 Thread Jan Willem Stumpel
Bug #401533 is now already quite old, and the solution has been
available for about 9 months now. Why can't it be fixed in Debian?

At the moment I am engaged in an e-mail/html conversation with an
Indian mathematician. We need to have systems which can use MATHML
on both ends, and Indic alphabets on (at least) his end. But there
are endless problems. I could understand this if there were
unsurmountable technical problems. But a solution exists, and has
been implemented ( 9 months ago) in FC6. Why can't Debian use
this? The reason can't be a technical one. Is there another kind
of reason? E.g. a political one, of the same type which saddled us
with names like iceape? Please explain...

Bug#436923: psili/dasia problem

I supposed wrongly. Making this reverse substitution in the xkb
file does _not_ cure the problem. Don't know why.

And of course I also made a mistake by reporting this as a bug in
xlibs-data. It is libx11-data nowadays.

Bug#436923: Compose file problem with some Greek accents

2007-08-09 Thread Jan Willem Stumpel
Package: xlibs-data
Version: 1:7.2-5
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n


This problem is recent, but I do not know when it started. The Compose file
(/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose) now has wrong definitions for
the Greek DASIA and PSILI symbols. So for instance when the keyboard is
switched to Greek polytonic, a no longer produces an alpha with dasia (ἁ).
Instead, with Greek polytonic keyboard, the  key now produces a combining
diacritical (supposed to be placed _after_ the sign they should combine
with). Unfortunately, as is well known, combining diacriticals are very
tricky things; many apps and fonts lack support for them.

The problem can be cured by globally replacing, in the Compose file,
U1313 -- U0313
and U1314 -- U0314

I suppose it can _also_ be cured by making the reverse substitution (U0313
-- U1313 etc.) in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/gr, which is part of the
xkb-data package; so it is unclear where the blame for this bug lies.
Similar divergences between the Compose and xkb/symbol files have
occurred before. 

Perhaps the fundamental solution is to introduce new named keysyms (proposal:
dead_dasia for 314 and dead_psili for 313) for use in both files.

Now this mention of im-uim.so seems suspicious. It is part of the

keyboard input system (upgraded recently from version 1.3 to
version 1.4).

I tried dpkg --purge uim-gtk2.0, and gtk-gnutella started working
again!

Perhaps you can reproduce the bug by installing uim-gtk2.0 yourself.

I do not know where the fault is; it could be in uim, of course,
but I do not see similar problems in other gtk2 programs, so there
could be a bug in gtk-gnutella as well.

Bug#428682: xcdroast: Incorrect error messages

2007-06-13 Thread Jan Willem Stumpel
Package: xcdroast
Version: 0.98+0alpha15-11.1
Severity: normal


When recording files on a 4.7 G disc, after the master tracks operation I
select disc type 4.7 GB, then Master and write on-the fly.

Then a messages appears:

   A CD-R/RW is required in the CD-Writer before
   a session can be mastered.
   Please insert a CD-R/RW and try again.

   OK  Continue anywayCancel

But there *is* a disc in the drive, so this message is *wrong*. I click
Continue anyway, and the recording proceeds normally (after I confirm
that I am ready to write a single-session DVD).

During the recording no obvious errors occur. The recorded disc is perfectly
readable. However, at the top op the xcdroast session window it says

   Error writing tracks

This is another *wrong* error message. 

The output of the recording session (~/cdrecord.out) is:

2007-06-01 Thread Jan Willem Stumpel
Package: coreutils
Version: 5.97-5.3
Severity: wishlist


If I have a symlink

  mylink - A

and I want to change it to 

  mylink - B

I can say 

  ln -sf B mylink

However, this only works if A is a regular file. It does not work if A is a
directory. Why is this so? 

The ln command can be used for *creating* links both to files and
directories. It would be nice if it could be used (with the -f option) for
*modifying* links both to files and directories also.

Bug#427011: coreutils: ln man page unnecessarily alarming

2007-06-01 Thread Jan Willem Stumpel
Package: coreutils
Version: 5.97-5.3
Severity: minor


The man page of ln explains the -f option as follows:

  -f, --force
  remove existing destination files

This caused me to avoid this option because I did not like the idea of any
files being removed. Please change this text to something like:

  -f, --force
  override the TARGET part of an existing link. 

N.B. It seems that -f only works if TARGET is a regular file (not a
directory), but this is a separate bug.

Bug#423838: Please reassign to wine

2007-05-23 Thread Jan Willem Stumpel
Apparently this is a bug in wine, according to uim developer
Etsushi Kato:

 This is caused from a bug in libX11's XIM thread handling, and
 current wine (0.9.35 and after) don't use X11 thread if
 XMODIFIERS is set.

 So please update wine, or unset XMODIFERS if you use old wine.

N.B. Wine in unstable is 0.9.32, and on the wine home page already
0.9.37 is available (which indeed does not have the problem).

So perhaps this bug should be reassigned to wine (or even to
libx11-6).

2007-05-06 Thread Jan Willem Stumpel
Package: libgphoto2-2
Version: 2.3.1-4
Severity: important


I mentioned this problem on the Debian-user list
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2007/05/msg00029.html). After some
upgrade (I do not know which one) I could not download pics from my Canon
A420 camera any more (it had worked for many months, and suddenly stopped
working).

I sent the problem to the gphoto-user list, and got an answer today from
Marcus Meissner, saying that some recently-added speedup code to
libgphoto2 indeed causes problems with newer Canon models.

This has been fixed in the development tree:
http://www.lst.de/~mm/libgphoto2-2.3.1.4.trunk.tar.bz2

I tried this, and it works. I can now download pics from my Canon
camera again. It would be nice if this were fixed in the Debian package
also.

 Jan Willem,
 
 maybe you can do a rebuild yourself, with the patch?

I tried, but I know hardly anything about this patching
business. Some files are patched by debian itself (from
iceweasel_2.0.0.1+dfsg-2.diff.gz) when you apt-get source it. This
obviously changes the line numbers that the Behdad-patch has in
mind. Anyway several hunks fail.

I do not know how to deal with such a situation. Applying the
patch to just the unpacked iceweasel_2.0.0.1+dfsg.orig.tar.gz also
results in failed hunks (although fewer).

Alexander Sack wrote:

 Do we need/want this for ape and dove?

Depends on what we want. Indian language printing is not
important, of course, if the Indian subcontinent does not belong
to the Debian target group.

Likewise, MATHML printing is not important if scientists and
students do not belong to the Debian target group.

 Jan, can you confirm that this is an issue there too or not?

I cannot test MATHML in e-mail messages easily. But printing
Indian languages is definitely broken in ape and dove.

Personally, I think fixing this (and fixing it quickly) should
take priority over considerations of a Debian release cycle. I
wasn't aware that Sid had releases anyway.

I just hope that Debian's fork policy (with the name changes)
has not made the whole patching process more difficult.. ;-)

Bug#408528: Success with FC6 version!

2007-01-30 Thread Jan Willem Stumpel
I tested the FC6 version of Firefox (which incorporates Behdad
Esfahbod's patch) on Debian.

1. Removed iceweasel
2. Downloaded firefox-1.5.0.9-1.fc6.i386.rpm
3. Converted to .deb with alien; installed
4. Installed libc6 from experimental
5. Copied libnspr4.so from /usr/lib/iceape to
   /usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.9 (this turned out to be necessary
   because of some unresolved symbol which I then grep'd for; I
   was rather amazed that it worked)
6. Purged xprint and xprint-common
7. Removed firefox's prefs.js (otherwise a message came
   about wrong paper size -- courtesy of xprint, even though
   it was removed).

The results are excellent! Totally correct display and print of
MATHML and of Indic scripts. Also one persistent print bug (which
I haven't filed yet) has disappeared: there are no more horizontal
spacing problems when CJK characters occur by themselves (not
inside a span or between tt/tt tags) in a line with Latin text.

Finally a Mozilla product prints well on Linux. Pity that FC6 does
not have Firefox 2.0 yet; however, Behdad Esfahbod says his patch
also works on 2.0. So yes, well, maybe it does produce problems
for the release cycle; but it is still worth going for, because it
is a great improvement.

I am somewhat red-faced now -- just realised I still had
MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1 in /etc/environment (because of my earlier
experiments with MATHML). After removing this, I got good CTL
*display* in iceape and iceweasel.

Not the *printing* though. And now MATHML *display* is broken
again. Both in iceape and iceweasel.

Can you print CTL correctly? In my case the CTL print _preview_ is
correct, but the actual print is not. Print preview and print
seem to do different things.

 So why not the Debian binaries? Quite a lot of potential users in India..
 Okay, so I gave it a try[1], and... see no difference between CTL enabled
 or not. And seeing the code involving the ctl component, it seems to be
 used for the selection only... In this light, I'm not sure it's really
 worth enabling...
 
 Also note that despite what is written on the page, Ubuntu does *not*
 have ctl enabled. Pango is, however. But not enabled at runtime for all
 locales.

For which locales? I think if it is enabled for one UTF-locale it
should be enabled for all UTF-8 locales (UTF-8 being a universal
charset).

 1. That was a bit more than adding --enable-ctl. There are some
 issues with -Wl,--as-needed and hidden symbols that need to be
 solved first.

I do not know about the technical aspects. It is just that the
Wikipedia page I mentioned is a good test. On Debian the display
is clearly not correct, but on Windows (XP with Firefox) it is. On
Windows, CTL _printing_ is also OK.

A few months ago, even on Debian Sid, Firefox 1.5 could display
CTL correctly (but not print it). Now, Iceweasel/Iceape can
neither display nor print it.

However it is done, it seems that this CTL capability has to be
enabled somehow, if Debian wants to retain the interest of Indian
users. Perhaps it involves more than --enable-ctl, I don't know.
But --disable-ctl definitely seems a step in the wrong direction.
According to Wikipedia there are Linux distributions in which it
does work. Somebody must know how it is done.

It is somewhat like the problem that exists with MATHML (although
more serious, because MATHML can at least be _displayed_ in
Debian).  MATHML can be displayed and printed in Windows, and
(reportedly) in Fedora. I cannot test this myself; the Fedora
firefox binaries do not run on Debian (glibc incompatibility). But
MATHML cannot be printed on Debian.

OK; see

Look for instance at the hook thing (looking a little bit like
f --actually it is the letter i) in the first 4 rows; it
should be on the left, as under correct rendering, but it is on
the right. In Windows it is on the left, as it should.

 The best option is to compile Gtk-Gnutella yourself which is

Great advice, thanks. It worked at the first try.

Package: gtk-gnutella
Version: 0.96.1svn12109-1
Severity: normal


My machine is behind a firewall, which is also a Linux machine (an old
laptop running Shorewall). gtk-gnutella has worked perfectly for years. The
gtk-specific rules in shorewall are:

#   Port-forward Gnutella
DNATnet loc:192.168.1.5 tcp 6346

DNATnet loc:192.168.1.5 tcp 6347
DNATnet loc:192.168.1.5 udp 6347

Since the last upgrade, gtk-gnutella does not work anymore. Starting it form
the command line produced a message saying I should set ancient_version_force 
to gtk-gnutella/0.96.2u (2006-09-23; r0; GTK2; Linux i686), which I did.
Now gtk-gnutella starts, but at the top-right of the screen it shows an icon
saying that I am firewalled. This used to be a smiley meaning not
firewalled. There is also a clock symbol meaning this version is
outdated. Anyway, no connections to gnutella-net are shown on startup, and
no file search produces any results.

Bug#401533: MATHML patch exists

2006-12-05 Thread Jan Willem Stumpel
I asked on the Linux-utf-8 mailing list if anyone knew of a way to
print mathml. I got the following answer from Behdad Esfahbod:

   If you use the latest Firefox 1.5 with Pango text rendering
   enabled (unset MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO) AND my Firefox+Pango printing
   patch from here:

   https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=357733

   You can view and print MathML in Linux.

This patch apparently also cures the problem that Mozilla  Co.
have with printing Indic scripts.

How about applying this patch to the Debian version?

Bug#401533: iceape-browser: MATHML problems, especially printing

2006-12-04 Thread Jan Willem Stumpel
Package: iceape-browser
Version: 1.0.6-1
Severity: important


To display MATHML in iceape, I need to set MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO to 1 (apart
from installing math fonts).

But printing and print previewing still give unacceptable (in fact absurd) 
results. 

See

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/demo/texvsmml.xhtml

This is now a very old bug, and I had hoped that the new iceape would have
fixed it. But it hasn't. For printing MATHML, I still have to boot Windows.
A shame.

Also with 1.2 and up, it is no longer necessary to set GTK_IM_MODULE=xim and
QT_IM_MODULE=xim (in the scripts in etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d) in order for
dead keys and the Compose key to function properly. They can now be set to

Package: im-switch
Version: 1.12
Severity: normal


im-switch puts a startup script in /etc/X11/Xsession.d, called 80im-switch.
In earlier versions this was called 90im-switch. However, when you upgrade,
the earlier script is not removed. Result: whatever is called by the script
is called twice. The result can be, for instance, two sets of buttons in the
systray.

Remedy is to check if the old script exists and remove it, or changing back
to the old name.

Bug#400880: uim: Tiny systray icons

2006-11-29 Thread Jan Willem Stumpel
Package: uim
Version: 1:1.2.1-9
Severity: normal


Something is wrong with uim's systray icons (used by
uim-toolbar-gtk-systray). They are just tiny dots. However, if I click on
defalt, in preferences, toolbar they change. The direct icon changes
into a minus sign (the is probably what is intended), and the Preferences
icon changes into an x with what seems a random pattern of dots placed on
top of it. Something is not right here.

Bug#400951: joe: Impossible to input control chars

2006-11-29 Thread Jan Willem Stumpel
Package: joe
Version: 3.5-1.1
Severity: important


It used to be possible to enter control chars and other chars of arbitrary
value by entering ` first. You would get a prompt at the bottom of the
screen:

  Ctrl- (or 0-9 for dec. ascii, x for hex, or o for octal)

This no longer works in the present version (although the man page still
says it should). While this does not make the package completely unusable,
it removes a feature which I like very much and use quite often. So I think
this is important. My present remedy is to downgrade.

Bug#391995: xkb-data: Please add quotes to us (alt-intl)

2006-10-09 Thread Jan Willem Stumpel
Package: xkb-data
Version: 0.8-18
Severity: wishlist


It would be nice to change in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us : (section
alt-intl):

key AE09 { [  9, parenleft,   dead_breve,dead_breve ] };
key AE10 { [  0, parenright,  dead_abovering,dead_abovering ] };

to

key AE09 { [  9,  parenleft, leftsinglequotemark,  dead_breve ]};
key AE10 { [  0, parenright, rightsinglequotemark, dead_abovering ] };

(as used in section intl).

Reason: in the present alt-intl version, both alt-9 and shift-alt-9 
produce dead_breve. This a bit of a waste of key combinations. 

The proposed modification leaves dead_breve and dead_abovering available
with shift-alt, but produces an easy way to type single-quotes by means of
alt. Single-quotes are very useful things to have on a system.

Well, there seem to be only 2 possibilities:

 OK, this is where the interesting work starts.  Ultimately it's
 going to come down to me (if not someone else) rolling my

Yecch. But sacrifices must be made for progress, as Otto
Lilienthal said ..

 We'll have to mark out exactly what it's doing, font by font, 
 glyph by glyph, postscript directive by postscript directive. 
 Unfortunately it's a long term project since I'm no expert in 
 font or postscript internals.

I have some limited knowledge of font internals, so if I could help..

 For reference, while I have been able to verify the problems, 
 especially with the spacing problem, most of the way along, 
 that problem has now disappeared from my system with the full 
 installation of X11R7.1.  Print quality (measured by print to 
 paper and print to PDF) is now comfortably acceptable for me. 
 The spacing problem on www.debian.org, for instance, just 
 disappeared the other week after we finished the 7.1 
 transition. That's without any of the font or css tweaking you
 mentioned.

Hmm.. maybe I tested it too soon. I'll reinstall xprint and try.

 The only odd behaviour I'm seeing at the moment is that font 
 types sometimes get switched around. For instance at the moment
 firefox displays the cyrillic links at the bottom (Bulgarian,
 Russian) in serif, but Xprint prints them using a Typewriter 
 (courier) font for some reason.

In my case (but I use the css hack and removed xprint's own fonts)
the Bulgarian and Russian are (correctly) rendered in serif by
xprint.

 Other pages print similarly for me, printing fine apart from 
 sometimes switching serif for sans-serif. I suspect solving 
 this glitch will also solve the other problems we've been 
 seeing.  What is curious to me is that the glitch is acceptably
 small in this way for me, while its manifestation on your 
 system is much larger.

Yes, it is strange. Maybe results depend on (the interaction
between) the fonts that a user has installed.

 And whatever I do, Mozilla and Firefox still cannot print 
 MathML on Linux correctly. Strange, because MathML printing 
 is supposed to be one of the 'selling points' of xprint.

 This problem is subtle.  I tested some MathML on the new 
 working Xprint, e.g. 
 http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/demo/texvsmml.xhtml . 
 Now firefox itself renders mathml defectively, even after 
 manually installing Mathematica fonts as directed on the 
 mozilla.org pages, the pages are not rendered satisfactorily on
 screen, with some symbols missing, and superscripts 
 misaligned.

This MATHML display bug seems to be a fairly well-known bug of
Firefox (not Mozilla); see bug
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=361183
which is quite old, and unresolved. It has to do with Pango. There
is a workaround: disable Pango. You have to start
Firefox with MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1 firefox, otherwise MATHML display
becomes a complete mess.

Printing with xprint in Mozilla/Firefox works somewhat, but not
well. The biggest problems are (in my case):

-- mathematics is usually printed in Italic style (well, the
   variables are). In my case everything is Roman (upright).
-- large symbols (like multi-line brackets and root signs)
   are always printed only one line high, and often in the wrong
   location (too high). The horizontal bar of root signs usually
   becomes a fat black block.

I have no experience of how the old (pre-7.1) xprint performed;
I only recently became interested in MATHML. But on
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xprint/samples/ there are some
impressive samples. It says they were generated on Linux. If you
look closely, these examples are also not really perfect (look,
e.g., at the rendering of the minus and plusminus signs in the
yellow highlighted section). But they are much better than what I
can get on Debian now, so it seems xprint's MATHML capabilities
have actually gotten poorer over the years. Grr. On Windows, both
IE6 and Firefox print MATHML perfectly.

 I think we can still sustain the claim that Xprint deals with 
 MathML better than default printing.

Perhaps. I have to re-test this. Due to another bug in Firefox it
is not exactly easy to switch between xprint and
postscript/default in Firefox -- see bug
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=344401 (I added
some comments to this; the problem is unresolved to this day).

However I seem to recall that if you want to print a MATHML coded
mathematical expression like

  a   c
  - = -
  b   d

the native Firefox printing method misplaces the equals sign.
You get something like

  a = c
  -   -
  b   d

while xprint renders it correctly. So I would agree with
qualifications to this statement.. a qualification being that
better than very bad is not really good enough for actual use.

To experiment with MATHML, you could use ASCIIMathML.js. See my
MATHML test page http://jw-stumpel.nl/bounce.html. It it

Of course users should pay attention when typing. But sometimes

Xorg 7.1 has appeared in unstable, and now xprint works again, in the sense
that it no longer crashes Mozilla and Firefox.

But the font selection is still just as bad as before; i.e. you need 
both the removal of Xprint's own fonts, and some tweaking of
userContent.css, otherwise you do not get acceptable prints.

And whatever I do, Mozilla and Firefox still cannot print MathML on Linux
correctly. Strange, because MathML printing is supposed to be one of

Bug#386385: xkb-data: Wrong codes for Greek polytonic breathing signs

2006-09-07 Thread Jan Willem Stumpel
Package: xkb-data
Version: 0.8-12
Severity: normal

This is a 'simultaneous bug' in xkb-data and libx11-data.

In /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/gr, the keys generating the Classical Greek
'breathing' signs are defined as follows

key AC10 { [  dead_acute, dead_horn   ] };
key AC11 { [  dead_grave, dead_ogonek ] };

The breathing signs are the shifted symbols (dead_horn and dead_ogonek).

This means that these keys do not work in an international UTF-8 locale,
because the international Compose file
(/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose), which has definitions for the
full set of Ancient Greek accent combinations, expects the breathing signs to
be U0313 and U0314 respectively.

The dead_horn and dead_ogonek are only recognized by the Greek UTF-8 Compose
file, /usr/share/X11/locale/el_GR.UTF-8/Compose. 

The solution is to change dead_horn to U0313 and dead_ogonek to U0314 both in 
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/gr and in
/usr/share/X11/locale/el_GR.UTF-8/Compose. It is important to do this
simultaneously.

That way it will become possible to enter Classical Greek correctly both in
international and Greek UTF-8 locales. I expect, in fact, that the reason
for having a separate Greek UTF-8 compose file will then largely disappear
(although with the proposed changes in place, there will no longer be any
harm in keeping it).

 Er, could dead_horn and dead_ognek sequences not just be added
 to en_US? 

Of course they could. But that would be perpetuating a kludge.
dead_horn and dead_ogonek were chosen by the original Greek
designer *) because they do not occur in the Greek language, so he
thought they were unused and made them do double duty as
breathing signs. The real dead_horn and dead_ogonek are
completely different -- they are accents below the letters, not
above, like the breathing signs are. Apparently he was not aware
that the keysyms starting with U are by default valid keysyms in
xkb, nor of the fact that the true breathings signs had already
been defined in Unicode:

U+0313 COMBINING COMMA ABOVE, Greek psili, smooth breathing mark
U+0314 COMBINING REVERSED COMMA ABOVE, Greek dasia, rough
   breathing mark

Apparently, the creators of the Greek polytonic xkb file and of
the international Compose file worked independently of one
another. It is time to put it right.

*) See
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-utf8@nl.linux.org/msg05200.html
(near the end of the message):

   When I made an initial try at a polytonic Greek keyboard, I
   couldn't find a dead_comma_above and a
   dead_reversed_comma_above, so I just (ab)used the first two
   keysyms that weren't otherwise meaningful on a Greek keyboard.
   Subsequent updates to the Greek keyboard layout and Compose
   files kept this (perhaps not strictly correct) arrangement.

   3. Push these changes upstream.
   4. When en_US.UTF-8/Compose and el_GR.UTF-8/Compose are fixed in
  testing, modify xkb/symbols/gr as requested, and close #386385.
   5. Drop el_GR.UTF-8/Compose after etch if this file becomes useless.

 If this roadmap makes sense to you, can you please file bug
 reports with patches against libx11-data for steps 1 and 2?
 This is much easier to perform by people reading Greek ;-)

I am neither a Greek, nor a real expert in Ancient Greek, so I
want to be very careful. I am just interested in making the
'breathing signs' accessible to *international* users (using a
non-Greek UTF-8 locale).

Perhaps a safe way to do this, is to use the following transition
plan:

1. Add U0313 and U0314 sequences to the Greek UTF-8 Compose file.

   Because U0313 and U0314 never occur together on the same
   line, this can simply be done by running the file through the
   following filter:

   #!/usr/bin/perl
   while () {
  print $_;
  if (/dead_horn/) {
 s/dead_horn/U0313/;
 print $_;
  }
  elsif (/dead_ogonek/) {
 s/dead_ogonek/U0314/;
 print $_;
  }
}

   This would keep all the original definitions, and would also
   not damage any Greek-speficic tricks that might be present in
   the Greek Compose file (this is guaranteed because the real
   dead_horn and dead_ogonek do not occur in Greek), but it would
   make an international keyboard (with U0313 and U0314) usable
   for Greek users with el_GR.UTF-8 locale.

2. Changing /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose is not
   necessary for the moment. If there are any Greek-specific
   tricks that must be added, they can be added later.

3. For the rest, the same as your transition plan.

Do you still want me to send a separate bug report to libx11-data,
or do you take it up with the libx11-data maintainer directly? I
noticed before that Debian does not have a good mechanism for
reporting this kind of double bug. Maybe we can find a way of
following this up by CC-ing.

Bug#386471: libx11-data: Wrong Compose sequnces for Greek polytonic breathing signs

2006-09-07 Thread Jan Willem Stumpel
Package: libx11-data
Version: 2:1.0.0-8
Severity: normal


This is a 'simultaneous bug' in xkb-data and libx11-data.

In /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/gr, the keys generating the Classical Greek
'breathing' signs are defined as follows

key AC10 { [  dead_acute, dead_horn   ] };
key AC11 { [  dead_grave, dead_ogonek ] };

The breathing signs are the shifted symbols (dead_horn and dead_ogonek).

This means that these keys do not work in an international UTF-8 locale,
because the international Compose file
(/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose), which has definitions for the
full set of Ancient Greek accent combinations, expects the breathing signs
to be U0313 and U0314 respectively.

The dead_horn and dead_ogonek are only recognized by the Greek UTF-8 Compose
file, /usr/share/X11/locale/el_GR.UTF-8/Compose. 

The solution is to change dead_horn to U0313 and dead_ogonek to U0314 both
in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/gr and in
/usr/share/X11/locale/el_GR.UTF-8/Compose. It is important to do this
simultaneously.

That way it will become possible to enter Classical Greek correctly both in
international and Greek UTF-8 locales. I expect, in fact, that the reason
for having a separate Greek UTF-8 compose file will then largely disappear
(although with the proposed changes in place, there will no longer be any
harm in keeping it).

Because there must be simultaneous changes in the xkb gr file and the Greek
Compose file, a careful transition plan is needed. Please see bug 386385,
and the discussion there, which includes a proposal for patching the Gree
Compose file.

Regards, Jan

Bug#385970: xkb-data: Greek polytonic affects us alt-intl

2006-09-04 Thread Jan Willem Stumpel
Package: xkb-data
Version: 0.8-10
Severity: normal


When using the us layout with alt-intl variant, shift-alt-comma is supposed
to generate 'dead_caron'. So shift-alt-comma, n should produce ň. And indeed
it does, when I say setxkbmap us -variant alt-intl -option compose:rwin.

Now I say 

  setxkbmap us,gr -variant alt-intl, -option \
compose:rwin,grp:lwin_toggle,grp_led:scroll

This is still OK. I have a us (variant alt-intl) keyboard, and pressing 
left-windows changes it to Greek. 

But I want polytonic Greek; so I try

   setxkbmap us,gr -variant alt-intl,polytonic -option\
 compose:rwin,grp:lwin_toggle,grp_led:scroll

and indeed I get the Greek polytonic keyboard (this has some layout bugs,
but this report is not about them) when I press left-windows. But when I
press left-windows again (or if I did not press it in the first place) the
us keyboard layout has apparently changed. shift-alt-comma, n now produces ņ
instead of ň, in other words: shift-alt-comma now does the same thing as
alt-comma, namely dead_cedilla (instead of dead_caron).

So somehow the polytonic variant of the gr keyboard layout (even when not
switched on) affects the behaviour of the us keyboard layout. This cannot be
right. I suspect some error in the X keyboard compiler, or whatever it is
called.
