trying to forget about the point ›0.9.7 is grossly outdated‹, I cloned
your repository https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/bauble.git and set
the goal "install this bauble as I always did with bauble.classic and
still do with ghini.desktop":

* create a virtual environment with access to system-site-packages
* activate it
* python ./setup.py build
* python ./setup.py install
* run bauble


the install step does not work out of the box, I had to manually install
gdata, mako, and SQLAlchemy (I understand that the Debian way to go is
to install the above libraries globally, but let's suppose that either
globally, or in a virtual environment, it's the same.)  the version
check for SQLAlchemy only tests the second digit, so I edited it:

--- a/bauble/db.py
+++ b/bauble/db.py
@@ -10,7 +10,7 @@ SQLALCHEMY_DEBUG = False
 try:
 import sqlalchemy as sa
 parts = sa.__version__.split('.')
-    if int(parts[1]) < 5:
+    if int(parts[0]) == 0 and int(parts[1]) < 5:
 msg = _('This version of Bauble requires SQLAlchemy 0.5.0 or
greater.'\
 'Please download and install a newer version of
SQLAlchemy ' \
 'from http://www.sqlalchemy.org or contact your system '

anyhow, with the three in place, and the check edited, bauble installs
and shows the initial screen.  I go through the steps: type a new
connection name, and a new database location, bauble informs me that the
database is empty, which is all as expected,

then it crashes.

pluginmgr.py(537): Could not import the bauble.plugins.garden module.
cannot import name PropertyLoader
pluginmgr.py(537): Could not import the bauble.plugins.tag module.
cannot import name SQLError

as said: so grossly outdated, I myself had never used this version, I
don't know how much work I would need to update it to the changed
environment.  we're talking of something that was released in 2009,
three years before I got involved and shortly before the initial commit
for line 1.0:

commit c755b7266f612add5b6003ee184f47f1ac3d6dca
Author: Brett Atoms 
Date:   Wed Jun 24 16:18:40 2009 -0400

    - bump version to 1.0.0b1



I understand that importing ghini.desktop into Buster is not an option,
but it is the only sensible action in my opinion.  next event on the
timeline is EOL for 2.7, which will prevent inclusion of
bauble.classic-1.0.56 and ghini.desktop-1.0.x into sid.
I don't know.  how much time do we have?  is bauble-0.9.7 the only
bauble version that can make it into Debian Buster?  the sad thing is
that 0.9 is database-incompatible with 1.0.

bauble is also on github.  In October 2015 I had been made owner of the
project (https://github.com/Bauble/bauble.classic).  Soon after that,
the slot 'bauble.web' became occupied and I preferred moving everything
under a new organization.

eh, , how to say that?  I've not been successful at finding the
right person.  I got some help from, …, I can't remember and I don't
think it's relevant here.  the guy gave me information and hints, but it
was still me who had to follow the Debian rules, and after several
attempts, bouncing back with "not good enough", I gave up.

I have read the remainder of your email, and I'm looking into your

Bug#899007: bauble: Depends on unmaintained python-gdata

2019-03-17 Thread Mario Frasca
hello all,

bauble as bauble is indeed dead, both the classic and the web version,
which by the way never saw light.

→ HOWEVER →

→ while Debian and ubuntu still distribute the grossly outdated bauble
0.9.7, development of bauble went up to version 1.0.56, which is still a
very decent option.

→ beyond version 1.0.56 development goes absolutely uninterrupted on,
now under the name ghini.desktop.  the last released version of bauble
informs the user about ghini.desktop, and its new releases.

→ there is no plan to substitute ghini.desktop with a web application:
there is a ghini.web, which serves a quite different task (integrating
databases),

→ there might come a ghini.web version allowing limited data insertion. 
this is not planned at all at the moment. 

→ other packages in the Ghini suite are two Android apps.

I have been working at a python3 ghini.desktop version, and hope to
release it before we reach EOL for python2.  I'm stuck with some strange
delays in database access, which I still need to pin down.

I have not been able to follow all necessary steps to put ghini.desktop
in Debian format, I'm sorry.  once there's a well defined package for
it, I might be able to keep it up to date, but the initial steps are far
beyond my limited ability to comply with strict rules.

Debian Science team?  what is it?

buona giornata, grazie,

Mario

2018-07-12 Thread Mario Frasca
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=898954

python-fibra is the extra dependency in bauble-1.0 since bauble-0.9.7

it is also the software I tried to package for Debian, and where I gave up.

I've not been able to satisfy all packaging requirements, and gave up.

so I wish to close this issue, there is no candidate package any more.



Bug#903644: O: bauble -- biodiversity collection manager software application

2018-07-12 Thread Mario Frasca
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the bauble package.

The package description is:
 Bauble is a software application to help you manage a collection of
 botanical specimens. It is intended to be used by botanic gardens,
 herbaria, arboreta, etc. to manage their collection information.
 It is a open, free, cross-platform alternative to BG-Base and
 similar software.

I have been in contact with the current maintainer, who wrote:
 You can take the maintainer responsibility of the package.  I neglected
 it to much. At beginning (for 1.0) it was because dependencies were
 not in Debian, but than it exited from my radar.  So feel free to be
 the maintainer.

I started by trying to package fibra, the new dependency of bauble 1.0,
and got lost in the fine details, so I give up packaging and go back
focusing on development.

thank you all,
MF

I do not know why the README states 2007.  I used the timestamps of the
versions published on PyPI, all in rather tight sequence.  maybe that
was the inception?  I'll add 2009, and myself this year.

yes, I actually do mean to introduce the python2 package: bauble depends
on it.

I need to make some time to re-read and understand what you mean by 'you
should be building your package in a sid chroot', and how I should do
that.  lintian is being run every time after debuild, and where should I
add those pedantic flags? `rules`?

the location for this package is https://github.com/mfrasca/fibra/
is this what you were referring to, by "any VCS"?

'gbp' to me sounds like Great Britain Pound, but I'm sure you don't mean
that.  so I guess I've never heard about the one you mean.

As you surely understand and see, I'm quite new to publishing for
Debian.  my focus is on developing software, and I'm now trying to get
ghini.desktop/bauble/fibra into Debian myself more of out of despair
than anything else, after so many years not managing to find anyone who
could do this, and do this properly.

I wrote myself a small helper script, that I hoped would allow me not
need learning anything: 

https://github.com/mfrasca/fibra/blob/master/makedeb.sh

thanks again for time and patience.

Package: sponsorship-requests

Dear mentors,

I'm looking for a sponsor for my package 'bauble'.

'bauble' has one important bug report, 755185, and the package I have
just produces should solve that issue.

I have been in contact with the current/previous package maintainer,
Giacomo Catenazzi, and he agrees in handling packaging responsibility
over to me.  At the moment I'm both maintainer of the upstream and of the
Debian package.  

This, and `fibra` would be my first packages in Debian.  `bauble` needs `fibra`.

I see from the report at https://mentors.debian.net/package/bauble that

btw, since my two adopted children `bauble` and `ghini` both depend on
`fibra`, and python is reaching end of life for them too, I'm afraid I
will port `fibra` to python3 anyway, that it is accepted into Debian or not.
I'm already reconstructing its history, and will publish it in github as

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I'm on my way to become the maintainer of a couple of packages for the
management of botanic collections, namely bauble and ghini.desktop.

both of them rely upon fibra, and fibra wasn't yet in Debian.

so I need fibra in two different packages, and it is also small enough so
that it's being a learning example for me of what difficulties to expect
when I'll face the larger packages.

Fibra itself is a mature product, it was developed between 2008-11 (0.0.6)
and 2009-8 (0.0.17), after that the upstream developer did not think of
renaming the stable version to 1.0.0.

It offers collaborative concurrency, and has been helpful in bauble,
avoiding us trouble with threading and real concurrency.

friendly regards,
Mario Frasca

Bug#898736: ITP: python-fibra -- Fibra provides advanced cooperative concurrency using Python generators.

2018-05-15 Thread Mario Frasca
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Mario Frasca <ma...@anche.no>

* Package name: python-fibra
  Version : 0.0.17
  Upstream Author : Simon Wittber <simonwitt...@gmail.com>
* URL : https://pypi.org/project/fibra/
* License : MIT
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description : Fibra provides advanced cooperative concurrency using 
Python generators.

"cooperative" concurrency, that's something like concurrency according to
Windows 95, if that's enough for you, cooperative concurrency prevents
such problems as closing a database object from within a Thread that
did not open it.

bauble 1.0.56 (I was just informally handled package ownership by
c...@debian.org) depends on this library, and I would not want to include
it in bauble, I'd rather make it an independent package.

I'm not aware of other modules that provide the same functionality,
and the version number (0.0.17) is more an indication of how fast
it was developed and how quickly it became mature.  I don't think it
will require any maintainance, but if upstream produces a new version,
I don't see any problem in staying tuned on the pypi page.



Bug#885138: bauble: Depends on unmaintained pygtk

2018-05-14 Thread Mario Frasca
yes, upstream is aware of this problem, I've two issues open, one
relative to Python3 and one relative to Gtk3.
moving to Gtk3 is a bit complicated by the extensive usage that the
software makes of ComboBoxEntry, that disappeared in Gtk3.
any help very welcome.



Bug#755185: consider update, or possibly replace with webapp

2018-05-14 Thread Mario Frasca
I updated my debian control file
ran again the script for producing the debian package
installed it successfully on a orange-py with ubuntu 14.04

1)
(on 14.04 there is no python-pyqrcode package so I had to first install
that manually)
dpkg -i python-pyqrcode_1.2.1-1_all.deb

2)
(python-fibra 0.17 is not packaged at all, so I simply included it in
bauble)

3)
installing the new debian package went like this:
dpkg -i bauble-1.0.83.deb
apt-get install -f

after that, I could start `ghini`.

so, what next?  anybody can review?



Bug#755185: consider update, or possibly replace with webapp

2018-05-13 Thread Mario Frasca
good day here,
as I've been saying, I have close to zero experience with making deb
files, and absolutely none with Debian-quality ones.
here is a first attempt:
https://github.com/Ghini/ghini.desktop/releases/tag/v1.0.82
but is there anybody here?  since the original report almost 4 years
ago, nobody showed up.
as upstream maintainer and not a Debian developer, I don't exactly
understand what I should do to fix this situation.
I'm not requesting people to do work for me, just please facilitate me
in doing what there is to do.
best regards,
MF



Bug#755185: update from upstream

2018-05-11 Thread Mario Frasca
I'm still the current developer/maintainer of the upstream desktop
software.  [1]
There never came a web app out of it, there were three separate
attempts, the last one 2 1/5 years ago.  [2]
There is a new web data server, but it's a collection aggregator, not
the main collection manager.  [3]

Ages ago a version of this software (bauble-0.9.7) made it into Debian. 
Upstream was not involved in the process as far as I know.

We are now at version 1.0.82 (and counting)

I'm sorry to say this, but the presence of such an old version of bauble
in Debian is more a nuisance than of any help to us: it depends on such
old stuff that it simply WON'T WORK on any modern system, in particular
it can NOT work in Debian 9, nor 8, and I'm quite sure not even on
Debian 7.  Often users ask me if they can install the software via the
packaging system and I have to tell them that this packaged bauble is
obsolete stuff.  It is bad advertisement for us, and for Debian.

The best option would be if the current package maintainer could update
it obviously, but apparently (4 years have passed) Giacomo has no time
for it, and I'm not here to blame him, I also did not find the time to
learn packaging.  If this can't be updated, then please remove it from
Debian, please, or mark it as orphaned, so we can think of adopting it. 
As things stand, I don't know what to do.  In March 2015 I have briefly
been in contact with Giacomo, his bottom line was:

> ok. controllero’ bauble e la tua versione.
> Solitamente sono le dipendenze a dare problemi: dobbiamo dipendere
solo in pacchetti esistenti in debian. pip e virtualenv non sono
accettabili.

in particular the "dobbiamo dipendere solo da pacchetti esistenti in
debian" is itself a contraddiction: bauble-0.9.7 depends on packages
which aren't in Debian any more.

I still stand with what I wrote before: »I am interested in including in
[this software] a script I can run every time there is a new release,
and in documenting the process in [the] documentation.«

thank you,
Mario Frasca

2017-01-02 Thread Mario Frasca
Hi here

I had almost forgotten about this issue, but I'm still and absolutely
very much busy with the software mentioned here.

my work concerning the software is mostly at
http://github.com/Ghini/ghini.desktop

if there's anything I should do to make the software more
debian-compliant, please let me know.

Bug#755185: new versions available

2015-09-20 Thread Mario Frasca
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

starting April 2015 I have had the chance to dedicate some time to
Bauble, more specifically to its desktop version 'bauble.classic'.

this is the only currently maintained version.

I do not know how to package things in Debian, but I am interested in
including in Bauble a script I can run every time there is a new
release, and in documenting the process in Bauble documentation.

the latest stable release you always find here:
https://github.com/Bauble/bauble.classic/tree/bauble-1.0

my current upgrading strategy is based on pip.
I find it easier because it is platform independent.

recently I have been considering distributing a `bauble-installer`
package, holding all dependencies that cannot be solved in a virtual
environment, and containing no more than the installation script.

see bug 799535: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=799535

best regards
MF

Bug#799535: ITP: bauble-installer -- bauble is a botanic collection manager

2015-09-19 Thread Mario Frasca
Package: wnpp
Severity: whishlist

From the homepage (http://bauble.readthedocs.org):

  Bauble is an application for managing botanical specimen collections.
  With it you can create a searchable database of plant records.

  It is open and free and is released under the GNU Public License 2+.

From the README.md (http://github.com/Bauble/bauble.classic):

At its heart Bauble is a framework for creating database applications.
In its distributed form Bauble is an application to manage plant
records and specifically living collections. It is used among others
by the Quito Botanical Garden to manage their live collections.
Included by default is RBG Kew's Family and Genera list from Vascular
Plant Families and Genera compiled by R. K. Brummitt and published by
the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in 1992 used by permission from RBG Kew.

---

I am the current developer for Bauble and I have decided to distribute
Bauble connecting the installation with a branch on github.

I need to make the initial installation easier to less technical
people. to this end, I intend to package only the installation script,
not the whole program. this is because I have limited time and do not
trust myself for the extra work needed for packaging the program every
time I release a new patch, which is rather often (40 times in the
last 5 months).

I have written a very minimal and possibly working (only tested on
ubuntu 14.04) package for the installation script.

Bug#755185: current maintainer

2015-01-31 Thread Mario Frasca

good day,
I'm the current maintainer of bauble.classic, which I've forked it at [1].
it is a well working piece of software, and even if the original author 
does not work at it any more, I would not consider it discontinued.

it is quite extensively documented at [2].
the version number is stuck at 1.0.11, because I'm not (yet) updating it.

Bug#697643: workaround

2013-06-17 Thread Mario Frasca
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

the main problem with this bug is that you can't start 'ntpd' if the
time is not set approximatively correct from the start. take for
example a computer without memory of the outside time (for example
because its battery is faulty), then you somehow need bootstrap the
procedure and chances are that you do not want to do this by hand.

if you install 'ntpdate' and run it before 'ntpd' starts, things
should go fine.

Bug#697643: openntpd: Does not make large adjustments.

2013-06-16 Thread Mario Frasca
Package: openntpd
Followup-For: Bug #697643

Dear Maintainer,

I'm running a new installation of the latest debian stable for powerpc.
the computer had been switched off for quite some time, so it had not the 
faintest idea of the fact we do not live in 1970!
I am used (on other systems) to starting the ntp deamon in order to set the 
time after a complete reset.
here I had to set it manually before ntpd could do its job. at least in this 
case, it feels a bit like duplication of effort.

Bug#426414: kernel: time jumps and usb resets

2010-05-13 Thread Mario Frasca
I didn't reply to this yet, did I?

I'm seeing the situation change after updates that do not change the
kernel.  for a short while the bug disappeared, then reappeared and I am
not aware of a permanent packages update log to match my logs on reboots
and time jumps.  I always use aptitude to update and safe or dist upgrade.

in the last 4 days before the last reboot two days ago, I had no time
jumps (06:00:00 occurs 1 day 0:00 after the preceding 06:00:00) even with
loads above 6 (a runaway process I failed to notice!).  in the previous
periods I had the impression that more importand jumps happened when
system load increased.  here it was constantly high.

here is the tail of the logfile:

we're almost one year later. I am running a modified version of this program 
which works fine.  I noticed that upstream 
(http://people.debian.org/~joss/packages/) does not exist any more.  would 
people at Debian prefer that I revive development of this program on 
Sourceforge or within Debian?  I'd like to join Debian (satisfied user since 
2004, home and office) and I'd like to maintain this package.

Bug#577852: proper gtk+ way to define keyboard?

2010-04-28 Thread Mario Frasca
hi here,

I'm looking for the proper gtk+ way to define and set keyboard layouts.
is it through usage of `setxkbmap`?  this is what one uses on Maemo so
I assume it is the way to go.

well, also using setxkbmap dead_stroke does not work.

in the us(mac) layout dead_stroke is associated to the 'S' key, with
shift and right alt modifiers.

after `setxkbmap us(mac)` the behaviour I get is exactly as what I
get when I alter the keyboard layout using xmodmap, namely:

* gnome-terminal: dead_stroke does not compose with following key
* xev shows the KeyPress event for dead_stroke
* uxterm: dead_stroke correctly composes ħđøł

I've googled in a few different sessions and I don't find anything
looking like composition tables for gtk+ anywhere, except possibly this
very bug report.

 This is because GTK+ uses its own composition tables and extends them in
 its own way.
 
 If you want to use the X input method in an application, you can
 right-click, select “Input method”, then “X input method”.

no, I actually really want to use GTK+'s own input method...  can you
point me to references on how to use them?  (I am a bit internet-impaired
at the moment, laptop was stolen, I can use email but home browsing
is more or less limited to my maemo5 device)  what I suspect is that
there's a problem with dead_stroke and dead_breve, and I base this on:

1) xmodmap manages to alter GTK+ composition tables for all dead keys
   except dead_stroke and dead_breve.

2) on maemo5, which is AFAIU GTK+ based, I am using its own keyboard
   definition table and dead_stroke and dead_breve do not work.

to verify my suspicion I want to use GTK+'s native input method on my
old desktop system and check if there I do manage to get dead_stroke
and dead_breve to work.

Bug#577852: libgtk2.0-common: dead_stroke has no visible effect

2010-04-15 Thread Mario Frasca
Package: libgtk2.0-common
Version: 2.18.9-2
Severity: normal

I don't use many gtk applications, just gnome-terminal and sometimes
nautilus.  this affects both.  Emacs and xterm (not gtk) are unaffected.

I use dead_stroke in a keymap table file that I pass to xmodmap and I
don't manage to obtain any visible effect.

to reproduce the bug, I used this keymap table file, »
clear Lock
keycode 66 = Multi_key 
keycode 48 = dead_stroke 
« and activate it with xmodmap.

hitting the key associated to dead_stroke followed by l should produce
ł (small L with stroke) but gives l (small L).  compose slash l works
correctly.

also dead_breve does not work.
other dead keys like dead_macron, dead_acute and dead_breve do work with
this method.

I observe the same behaviour also on maemo, both on os2008 (using xmodmap)
and meamo5, where I don't use xmodmap but setxkbmap.

I'm sorry, but I don't manage to see the problem as closed.  

correct me if I'm wrong: I understand that as far as X11 is concerned,
there is no bug.  ok, so if it is not 'as designed', that you can use
xmodmap to define your own keyboard for gnome applications but this
ability excludes dead_stroke (and dead_breve), and I assume it is not,
against which package should I file this bug?

or is it really a correct behaviour the one I observe?

 your xev output shows that this is working correctly, as far
 as I can tell?

that is the curious part about it!  I don't see the difference between
the two sequences of key hits, in terms of produced keypress event.
but one sequence produces l, the other ł.

 What app are you having a problem with?

oh, you are right, on this server I seldom use anything else than
gnome-terminal.  on maemo, it happens in all programs.  on desktop debian
I only tested the gnome-terminal.

now started uxterm and oowriter and you are correct: both dead_stroke-l
and compose-/-l produce ł (l with stroke).

are you suggesting it might be a gnome problem?  I checked
System-Preferences-About Me and ther dead_stroke-l produces l (l without
stroke).  the gnome file browser -but also firefox (iceweasel)- show
the incorrect behaviour.

GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
behaves correctly, too.

Bug#577392: x11-xserver: dead_stroke has no visible effect

2010-04-11 Thread Mario Frasca
Package: x11-xserver-utils
Version: 7.5+1
Severity: normal
File: x11-xserver

this is related to maemo bug 
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2259

I use dead_stroke in a keymap table file and I don't manage to obtain
any visible effect.

hitting a key associated to dead_stroke followed by l should produce ł
but gives l.  compose slash l works correctly.  

this wasn't ever a problem on my desktop linux box because I don't
use dead keys but rely on the compose.  maemo, derived from debian,
has a different approach for compose (displays an on-screen menu of
combinable keys) so to people who only want to use the keyboard, symbols
like øđǥħłƶ¢ƀ₥ are unavailable.

to reproduce the bug, I used this keymap table file, »
clear Lock
keycode 66 = Multi_key
keycode 48 = dead_stroke
«.  xev gives the following sequence of events:

Ben,

I did not know the term 'ffs'...

unfortunately, learning urban language does not help much when it comes to
writing GUIs.  and admittedly, writing GUIs is not my favourite software
development activity.

any useful links that might help me understand what I can and should do
in Python, with nothing else than standard Python libraries?

 Does this function run in a different thread from the other GUI code?
 Most GUI frameworks do not support access to a single widget from
 multiple threads.

in my test program I have two threads, one tread that does almost nothing:
after it creates the widgets, it just waits for the user to press on the
'run' button.  and one thread that is fired as a consequence of the user
action and executes the 'main' function given above.  I don't see how
I could make this more simple...

hey Ben,

thanks for looking into this.  I think I would like to reopen this report
reassigning it to the python-wxgtk2.8 package.  the fact is, your answer
does indicate the most probable source of my original python problem,
but does not solve it yet!

you see, in my python programs I am not using gtk directly, just 'wx'
and 'threading'.

having to invoke these two functions (in which python library do I find
them?) each and every time I make a wx call (that I assume might be
translated into a call to a gtk function) would produce quite clumsy
code I'm afraid...

my suggestion is to add a setting in the python wx library that makes
the library thread-safe (or make the library thread-safe by default)...

Bug#543871: libnetcdf-dev: installs older header files instead of version 4

2009-08-27 Thread Mario Frasca
Package: libnetcdf-dev
Version: 1:3.6.2-3.1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


I'm trying to compile/install the python netcdf4 package,
from http://code.google.com/p/netcdf4-python/.  building it
requires the -dev packages for hdf5 and netcdf4.  I have
installed libnetcdf4 1:3.6.2-3.1 and libnetcdf-dev 1:3.6.2-3.1

the script complains about not being able to find the netcdf4 development
files.

so I compare the /usr/include/netcdf.h
installed by the libnetcdf-dev, with the two from
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/netcdf/ftp/netcdf-4.0.1.tar.gz,
and this is what I see:

ma...@croese:~/Local$ diff -U3 /usr/include/netcdf.h netcdf-4.0.1/libsrc/ | 
grep ^[\+\-] | wc
 57 2301584
ma...@croese:~/Local$ diff -U3 /usr/include/netcdf.h netcdf-4.0.1/libsrc4/ | 
grep ^[\+\-] | wc
   11206152   41895

did I misunderstand the meaning of the package?
how do I get the correct headers (short of installing them by hand)?

thanks,
Mario

Bug#543474: libwxgtk2.6-0: appending text to TextCtrl crashes in unpredictable ways

2009-08-25 Thread Mario Frasca
Package: libwxgtk2.6-0
Version: 2.6.3.2.2-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

using wxpython, I am writing a very simple GUI around a command-line
program that produces logging.  I have written a simple handler class,
derived from logging.handler and owning a TextCtrl.  this is its 'emit'
method:

def emit(self, record):
if record.levelno = logging.WARNING:
styleForLevel = wx.TextAttr(red)
elif record.levelno = logging.INFO:
styleForLevel = wx.TextAttr(black)
else:
styleForLevel = wx.TextAttr(grey)
self.textCtrl.SetDefaultStyle(styleForLevel)

self.textCtrl.AppendText(self.format(record))
self.textCtrl.AppendText('\n')

the original command-line main program is running in its own thread.
I have undressed it down to this simple thing and it still causes
the crash:

def main(options, args):
import time
for i in range(33):
log.warning('this is warning #%d' % i)
for j in range(10):
log.info('and this is informational message #%d' % j)
time.sleep(0.1)


on windows it works (quite sadly, I don't manage to make it crash),
on linux (and I've tried ubuntu 9.04, Debian-powerpc-sid, Debian-amd64)
it crashes in quite a few different ways.  that '33' is just a random
number, it usually crashes in the first 10 iterations.

I am filing it under libwxgtk2.6-0 but maybe it belongs to both
python-wxgtk2.6 and python-wxgtk2.8.

Bug#531278: webcam: documentation does not cover configuration file

2009-05-31 Thread Mario Frasca
Package: webcam
Version: 3.95.dfsg.1-8.1
Severity: important

the manual page for webcam does not give much information on how to
write a correct webcamrc file.  there are pages on the web that state
do not use the option input = composite1 as given in the man pages.
I think it would be best to correct the man page so readers know they
can trust them.

I miss some note about the meaning of '-1' for bottom and right.

there is no hint on how to choose the correct input or norm.  (on 'input',
http://www.seismo.ethz.ch/linux/webcam.html hints at using =v4lctl list=
to view a list of possibilities)

error messages are not documented.

 I don't think this is the right approach: you have no rights to orphan
 the package you do not maintain.

I was in fact suspecting as much, but I did not see an alternative...
at least, now I know the way to follow, so thanks for the prompt reply.

 If you need such things, there is a team created ad-hoc for it:
 MIA team. please contact us before take other actions like this
 one. [...]

too bad: I alredy filed an other orphaning request...  that regarding
gnome-swallow-applet, but on that the maintainer more or less 'allowed'
me to do so...  and I was slow in reacting (I patched my own version of
the program and only use it on one machine).

 For such things (and for non-essential pacakges) 1 month is
 too short.

well, I agree that 1 month is too short, but since my email bounced back
as undeliverable, I don't think there are chances I will get a reply
later on :)  ...  but you're right: if I have an impression, I should
try to understand 'numerically' the reason of my impression so I can
share it with others so here it goes: 

* on the abcde package there are 11 'normal' bugs with a patch.  
  * to these 11 reports the maintainer replied with 2 emails (total, not each). 
 
  * one reply is timestamped 2004-07-05 (report was 2004-06-30), 
  * other reply is 2005-10-06 (report 2005-10-01).  
  * the earliest of the trailing 8 reports without maintainer's reply
is timestamped 2006-09-01.

* there are also 4 'important' bugs, one with patch.
  * did not count the replies, there are more here than for 'normal' bugs.
  * all reports without a patch have at least one reply by maintainer.
  * latest important reported bug: 2006-10-13. 
  * latest reply: 2006-10-14.

on the base of 'important' bugs I would _not_ conclude that the maintainer
is missing.

by the way: I see Jesús has an account on LinkedIn...  maybe we can
contact him this way...  I didn't try yet.

I have no experience with maintaining nor even packaging debian software,
but given the low level of interest on this package, I think I could
be able to use it to learn the rules and understand if I can take more
tasks on me.

The package description is:
 The swallow applet can eat any X11 window into the GNOME 2 panel.
 The application then displays inside the panel instead of being in a
 window.
 .
 Its primary goal is to allow use of dockapps with the GNOME desktop.

Package: wnpp

I intend to orphan the abcde package.

probably one month ago I tried to contact Jesus Climent
jesus.clim...@hispalinux.es, currently registered as maintainer,
and did not manage.  did he stop following the package or is only his
address giving problems?

The package description is:
 A frontend program to cdparanoia, wget, cd-discid, id3, and your favorite
 Ogg/Vorbis, MP3, FLAC, Ogg/Speex and/or MPP/MP+(Musepack) encoder (defaults
 to oggenc). Grabs an entire CD and converts each track to the specified
 formats and then comments or ID3-tags each file, with one command.
 .
 With abcde you can encode several formats with one single command, using a
 single CD read operation. It also allows you to read and encode while not
 on the internet, and later query a CDDB server to tag your files.

nonpareil is a hardware simulator for the classic line of HP calculators.
in combination with the actual microcode of the calculator, it achieves
a very high level of fidelity to the real calculators.  in most cases
the simulation behavior exactly matches that of the real calculator. In
particular, numerical results will be identical, because the simulator
is using the BCD arithmetic algorithms from the calculator.

Bug#527191: abcde: script contains incorrect dead code

2009-05-05 Thread Mario Frasca
Package: abcde
Version: 2.3.99.6-1
Severity: normal

in the script there is an environment variable used like this:
if [ $USEPIPES = y ]; then
  REDIR=
else
  REDIR=2
fi
ls /dev/null $REDIR

the indirect redirection in REDIR does not work: if the test on
USEPIPES fails, stdout of the ls command is not redirected to stderr,
the effect is rather that stdout is untouched and the command complains
about the non existing file named 2

on my Debian-unstable system the script works without a problem, I
assume that the reason is that the the test succeeds and the REDIR is
defined empty.

I have tried to run abcde with -P (it's the options that forces USEPIPES
to y) and I get exactly the same behaviour.  I did not dig too deep
in the script to understand how to force USEPIPES to n, meet this
indirect redirection and file a more concrete bug report.

I am reporting this as bug anyway because I'm trying to port abcde to
macosx and there the test does not succeed, REDIR is defined as 2,
the code using it fails and there I can't use the -P option: it says
that piping is not supported by the encoding program.

Bug#498019: Acknowledgement (kernel: random system crashes and restarts (about once every week))

2008-09-08 Thread Mario Frasca
I am back to 2.6.25: according to my logs, those exceptions only appeared
with 2.6.26...  I can't be sure about it, but I don't think my system
has ever been (so) unstable with previous kernels...  

(actually I didn't need reboot the system manually: I just set the older
kernel as the default one and after a couple of hours it had crashed
and rebooted)

Bug#498019: kernel: random system crashes and restarts (about once every week)

2008-09-06 Thread Mario Frasca
Package: kernel
Severity: normal


from time to time I find that my system rebooted without me asking for it.
sometimes it happens while I'm using it, most often it simply reboots.
I have a look at the /var/log/messages and I find a few recurrent
problems:

 I'm going to read the instructions in that page and I'll come back later.

so, I followed the instructions and built
gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg_0.10.4-3_powerpc.deb, but I have two problems for
provinding the backtrace:

* I don't know what to attach to gdb and at what stage.
* with the version now running (after the usual upgrade and after
  installing the locally built package) it works just fine, so no crash
  to backtrace!

you can probably close the report.
thanks a lot,

Bug#483799: more info

2008-06-02 Thread Mario Frasca
after a recent upgrade I now first get an other error message in a slowly
flashing message box.

flashing box contains:

There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.

Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not
work correctly.

The last error message was:

Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)

GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in.


then the previously reported message also appears:

There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.

Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not
work correctly.

The Settings Daemon restarted too many times.

GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in.

I don't know, but this sounds a bit like bug #421208: also rhythmbox
stopped working...

in the hope it may help, I ran the same command
  gst-launch-0.10 --gst-debug-level=5 2 ~/err.log

and the error log ends in a similar way:

Bug#483799: gnome-control-center: fails to start gnome settings deamon

2008-05-31 Thread Mario Frasca
Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:2.20.3-3
Severity: important

Ciao Marco,
a few days ago I rebooted the system and I got the error screen:


There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.

Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not
work correctly.

The Settings Daemon restarted too many times.

GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in.


I do more or less daily a safe-upgrade but I usually stay logged in
for days, so I don't know how many days or weeks ago this error was
introduced.

grazie,
ciao,
Mario

$ uname -a
Linux croese 2.6.22-3-powerpc #1 Tue Nov 13 15:52:56 UTC 2007 ppc GNU/Linux

the main annoyances are:

sleep n is affected, in the sense that when I want something to sleep
600 seconds, I have no guarantee that there won't be one or more jumps
in time that will make the 600 seconds last 500 or less.  this is really
annoying because it makes it difficult to record things from the radio
from the crontab...  time jumps are unpredictable and can be large.
so to be sure on 10 minutes I must plan 15...

sometimes a time jump happens while I enter my password to unlock the
gnome x-terminal.  in this case I see a warning timed out and I have
to redo the procedure, just as if I had fallen asleep for 2 minutes at
the monitor while typing my password...

I repaired the dependencies and tested the patch.
it did not work: I was calling the function 'swallow' once a second while
the same function contained a loop keeping it alive during 10 seconds...
I've removed the loop and it now works (on my system)...

see enclosed new patch.

Bug#400265: wait time...

2007-11-04 Thread Mario Frasca
wouldn't it be a good idea to add a switch for the time to wait, instead
of hard coding those 10 seconds?

I opened the source and maybe a better idea is in the enclosed patch,
which I could not test because of some broken dependencies on my system...

read the paragraph Timeout Functions in the page
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/GGAD/sec-mainloop.html.  if that is true,
then the idea of the patch is to keep trying looking for the child
process until it can be found.  a static variable keeps track of the
amount of times that the timeout is reached and if it is more than 12
times (2 minutes) then it complains as in the original version.

maybe better still to poll more often (in 10 seconds a user does have
the time to see, notice and click away the child window) and more times.
maybe each second, 120 times.

thanks,
(I depend on some wm dock apps...)
Mario

Bug#448105: mplayer: Illegal Instruction in init_audio_codec

2007-10-26 Thread Mario Frasca
On 2007-1026 10:32:55, Reimar Döffinger wrote:
 AltiVec runtime detection never worked reliably (compiler
 dependant) and the way it was detected in libavcodec was
 an unacceptable hack.  Since the PowerPC architecture does
 not offer a sane way to distinguish between with and without
 Altivec we now treat them as different architectures, meaning
 you need a different build for each.

Hi Reimar,
thanks for your reply,

let me understand better...

when you say : 

* never worked, it was, we now treat:
   does it mean in rc2 as compared to rc1?

* you need a different build:
  in the sense that I am using a mplayer which was not compiled for my system?

in this case, how do I specify that I have a PowerPC without AltiVec?
must I compile mplayer myself or can I still use a debian distributed binary?

or were you just explaining the message AltiVec not found and implicitly
telling me not to worry about it?

thanks,
Mario

Bug#448105: mplayer: Illegal Instruction in init_audio_codec

2007-10-25 Thread Mario Frasca
Package: mplayer
Version: 1.0~rc2-4
Severity: important


I've downgraded the package to 1.0~rc1-12etch1 and it works, I don't
understand all the problems it meets, but the main point is that it
works and that's good enough:

MPlayer 1.0rc1-4.1.2-DFSG-free (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team

with 1.0~rc2-4 it crashes this way:

 I'd like to check the I/O resources of your system, especially which
 device the following range belongs to:
 (WW) INVALID IO ALLOCATION b: 0xf400 e: 0xf4ff correcting
 
 The log says I/O @ 0x0400/8, I am wondering whether there could be
 a confusion between 0x0400 and 0xf400.

I have to check again how to make it start at all (the standard install

Bug#426414: extra info

2007-06-05 Thread Mario Frasca

I have done a few more tests, to reject some hypothesis...

first idea was a bug in ntp, but I disabled it totally and I now run 
ntpdate in a cronjob.

I have the same time jumps.

I noticed the usb resets in coincidence with the time jumps and I 
removed all usb devices (except keyboard and mouse) but I keep the same 
problems.


then I thought it could be some miscommunication with the time servers?  
disconnecting physically the box from the net caused, after a few hours, 
a difference of some 15 minutes with the correct time.


-

jumps are almost only forwards (needing a negative correction).

when there is a positive correction, this is the pattern:

Bug#426238: not any more the reported error, but not syncing anyway

2007-05-28 Thread Mario Frasca
good morning Kurt,

the 'kernel time sync error 0001' messages only appear *before* the
reboot with kernel 2.6.21 (May 27 18:04:20)...  previously I was running
2.6.18...  but the time resets needed are still out of control.

I assume that ntpd killed itself after the failing sanity check at
(May 28 03:44:53)

how can we exclude a hardware problem?

I noticed that too, but I'm not sure I understand your question...

you mean, if I notice anything like random interruption of network
reachability from other applications?

to this, the answer is no, I don't.

no idea what to do...  maybe disable ntp and measure the drift by hand
during one or two days...  this would exclude a really broken internal
clock.  otherwise my best guess, however unlikely, is that there might
be some recent mistake in ntpd where the endianness is not taken into
account...  but this really sounds too weird to be true...

this is what ntpd did after I restarted it this morning.

Bug#426414: kernel: time jumps and usb resets

2007-05-28 Thread Mario Frasca
Package: linux-image-2.6.21-1-powerpc
Version: 2.6.21-4
Severity: important
File: kernel

I don't know if this is a hardware problem or a kernel bug.  the
same hardware had served correctly for years, so I sincerely hope it's a
kernel bug...

I'm not sure when the problem started to display...

a crontab line for root runs ntpdate -q every single minute...
the drift looks more or less constant, until occasional jumps.  these
jumps are coincident with some kernel logging...

here are the syslog lines, bracketed by the output of ntpdate:

...

...

are these kernel logs an other effect of the jumps, or are they closely related 
to the cause?

maybe it's also relevant that I am running wmaker and that more or less
with the same frequency of these problems (maybe in coincidence?) I have
to restart the window manager because the keyboard stops working (but
the keys simulating mouse buttons 2 and 3 keep working).

Bug#426238: ntp: kernel time sync error 0001

2007-05-27 Thread Mario Frasca
Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.4p0+dfsg-1
Severity: important

since quite some time, ntp does not syncronize the internal clock.
as far as I can see from the logs, it computes the time reset but then
does not manage to completely sync the time.

this is an example of such a log:
May 27 13:29:16 localhost ntpd[3221]: time reset -511.395231 s
May 27 13:29:16 localhost ntpd[3221]: kernel time sync error 0001

at 14:38 on the same day, the needed time reset is around -140s.

as a workaround, I had a cronjob stopping the deamon and restarting it
once every day.  this would syncronize the clock at once and limit the
time drift to a few seconds per day.  I disabled this because I think
it should just work, don't you agree?

Bug#426238: Acknowledgement (ntp: kernel time sync error 0001)

2007-05-27 Thread Mario Frasca
I read that ntp can have problems when the IP of the machine changes.
this box is on a local network, with DHCP managed by a belkin switch.
from time to time the switch needs a reset, after which it's not
guaranteed that the machines get the same addresses.  my global address
(the outside address of the belkin switch) does not change.

I just did a apt-get remove --purge ntp and then apt-get install ntp...

let's see if the log messages keep appearing.

Bug#426238: [pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#426238: ntp: kernel time sync error 0001

 Did you always have this problem, or did this happen since a kernel
 upgrade?  Most of the times I see people complain with such an error,
 it's a kernel problem.

I really can't remember...  I was away during more than a month, and
could not access my machine until april 19, more or less...  then upgraded
everything and so also the kernel, I suppose.

is this the same problem as
https://lists.ntp.isc.org/pipermail/bugs/2007-February/005433.html
?

I was a bit late checking, but it seems that the bug would be solved if
sid went from 2.6.18 to 2.6.20/21...

ciao,
thanks,

 2.6.21 is in sid.  Can you test that?

just installed it and rebooted the system.
$ uname -or

but the default 2.6 kernel is still 2.6.18, isn't it?

btw: if I remove the packages 2.x.yy, I still have the modules and the
kernels in my /lib/modules and in /boot...  is this a bug or is it meant
to be so?  I have a very small / partition and I have to keep it clean.

it does look better for a start...

Bug#316044: maybe it's wmWeather triggering it...

2007-05-27 Thread Mario Frasca
I've tried it with my pywmdatetime.py and it doesn't happen

meaning this: 

common ground)

I have one instance of pywmdatetime.py and several distinct wmWeather
docked apps, all not started, along with various started other
docked applications.

scenario 1)

On logging in, without moving from workspace 1, I start up the docked
pywmdatetime.py app and the bug does not display: the application is
started correctly.

starting up any non-started wmWeather instances also works as expected.

scenario 2)

On logging in, without moving from workspace 1, I try to start any of
the wmWeather instances, and the bug displays, that is: all docked
applications disappear.

I hope this can help isolate the problem.
I still think it's a wmaker bug, even if it's triggered by a misbehaving
client.

Bug#422261: iceweasel: smooth scrolling when message bar appears or is clicked away

2007-05-04 Thread Mario Frasca
Package: iceweasel
Version: 2.0.0.3-1
Severity: normal

when the message bar is displayed or clicked away, for example because
of a missing plugin or a site wanting to open a popup window, the rest
of the window is scrolled smoothly, even if the option 'preferences',
'advanced', 'general', 'use smooth scrolling' is not checked.

I will give it a try...

 Could you try without dri ?

YES

that was it.

Driver r128 also works (after disabling dri)...
is one better than the other and in which sense?

 Could you try without UseFBDev true ?

I first tried without the 'dri', then also disabled the UseFBDev option.
it remained on just out of lazyness while I was switching between fbdev
and ati...  does it have any effect when I'm not using the fbdev driver?

 That's probably not causing your problem here, but do you really need
 these Modeline, HorizSync and VertRefresh lines ?

yes, I need them.

otherwise not all of the screen is visible.  I would miss some 15 pixels
on each of the four sides.  quite annoying and also the main reason for
me to go directly into gdm and not startx from text mode.

  (II) R128(0): Primary Display == Type 3
  (WW) R128(0): Can't determine panel dimensions, and none specified.
  Disabling programming of FP registers.

 
 Not sure either...

maybe source of the problem which I solved adding those modelines?

 2 years ago, it was claimed to be related to DRI. Disabling it as I said
 above could help.

I usually manage to find information googling, I must be aging...  I
still don't find the page you say was written 2 years ago...

thanks a lot for your time.

Bug#412228: xserver-xorg-video-ati: fails to start and nearly hangs machine

2007-02-24 Thread Mario Frasca
Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati
Version: 1:6.6.3-2
Severity: important

I have no idea what to describe...  I'm used to start the machine with
a graphical prompt (gdm).  if I use the ati Driver, the x server does
not start, the machine becomes unresponsive and all I can do is go to an
other machine, log remotely in, correct the Driver line to fbdev, ...,
then I did not understand if I have to wait (that gdm respawns the login)
or if I have to kill the half started and totally unusable X server.

the first time the fbdev driver starts up after ati it is also not usable,
but I bet this to be caused by problems left by the ati driver...

this problem appeared after a new install.  on the same machine but with
an other hard disk I was using the ati driver...  after the reinstallation
(first days of january) I could not use ati any more and had to go back
to fbdev (where bug 327497 had luckly been solved...)
