Bug#351348: noteedit: crash on startup -- extra info

2006-05-15 Thread Matthew T. Atkinson
Package: noteedit
Version: 2.8.0-2
Followup-For: Bug #351348

Further to the existing bug on this topic, I can add that when the
--noalsa option is used (which I tried in order to avoid the crash, as
it seems ALSA-related), it still attempts to find an ALSA MIDI device
and crashes.

My LilyPond was also found, so that appears //not// to be the cause of
the crash in my case (and, I assume, the previously reported bug).

Technically, non-acceptance of the --noalsa option is a separate bug
but, had it worked, it could have been used as a workaround for this one
for the time being.

Here is my error message:

``

Bug#328785: rubber: More info: Spurious EPS and PS files

2006-04-25 Thread Matthew T. Atkinson
Package: rubber
Version: 1.0-1
Followup-For: Bug #328785

Here is some more information on the bug -- it is more than the initial
subject line suggests...

I have .dia and .png files referenced by my LaTeX document.

First run:
converting essen-ed.png into essen-ed.eps...
converting webform.dia to EPS...

Cleaning leaves the EPS of the .png file there,
but not the EPS of the .dia file.

Second run:
converting essen-ed.png into essen-ed.ps...
converting webform.dia to EPS...

Now I have an EPS of the .dia file
and an EPS AND PS of the .png file.

Cleaning removes the EPS of the .dia file
but not the EPS AND PS of the .png file.

Third run:
converting webform.dia to EPS...
(The EPS and PS of the .png file are still there.)

Cleaning removes the EPS of the .dia file but
The EPS and PS of the .png file are still there.

Bug#361981: evolution: [mail] Crashes on reading or replying to HTML IMAP mail

2006-04-11 Thread Matthew T. Atkinson
Package: evolution
Version: 2.4.2.1-1
Severity: important

Hello (again :-S),

Further to my last bug I have just discovered that when attempting to
read or reply to HTML mail from an IMAP server (I can't test POP at the
moment) the entire Evolution shell crashes.

The only way to close it is to manually kill the process.

Could this be due to the recent GConf upgrade (we now have GNOME 2.12
with GConf 2.14 -- it shouldn't cause problems but maybe it has on this
instance; I can't think of anything else that may cause it and probably
wasn't tested before this version of Evo' was released)?

best regards,


Matthew

Bug#361977: evolution: [composer] crashes on line-wrap

2006-04-11 Thread Matthew T. Atkinson
Package: evolution
Version: 2.4.2.1-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hello,

When typing a message into the Evolution composer, which carries out
automatic line-wrapping, the entire application freezes when the first
line-wrap would have been carried out.

The only way to close evolution is to ``Force Quit'' or kill the process
manually.

The only work-around is to type the message in another editor, then
paste it into Evolution with automatic line-wrapping turned off.

It happened after a very recent upgrade, on two different Etch machines
that I have access to.

best regards,


Matthew

Interesting suggestions; thanks -- I will indeed file an enhancement

IMHO, on account of there being a workaround, I think normal priority is
more appropriate.  I had not noticed earlier, but now it seems right to
downgrade it because there is a fix of sorts available.

I seem to remember seeing a patch for Xorg, on their bug tracking
system, which I imagine will get in at some point.  At least until then
this workaround will suffice.  Perhaps some note to R200 owners could be
put into the Debian package to warn then (via Debconf, I was thinking,
if they select the ati or radeon driver)?  [ I'm not familiar with the
packaging policy but if that was possible before the bug is fixed, it
may be of use. ]

Thanks again for your time and help,

best regards,

Thanks for the pointers.  I have looked at those projects (though kmag
was some time ago so things could have changed by now).  I found two
main problems with them, for my use:

1. They don't do fullscreen magnification (I've heard this may be
possible to set up now but the second reason I don't use them negates
that) and they also seem to be overkill for the job.

2. All I want is the screen to look bigger and X viewports do this with
almost no overhead, whereas the other solutions appear to eat up my CPU
doing anti-aliasing and other fancy stuff that I can't see the benefit
of (literally, LOL).

It just seems, to me, that X viewports are done at the right layer, as
they seem a lot more efficient.  It would be nice if:

* There could be some communication between X and the window manager so
that focus could be moved to windows that have just popped up (though I
probably would find this annoying, it's what vision-impaired people
migrating from 'doze would expect to have).

* The mouse didn't have to move to the very edge of the screen to pan
cross the desktop.  This feature, on 'doze screen magnifiers, saves a
lot of arm work.

I imagine the above could be implemented by a relatively simple X
extension, but I have not yet had the time to look into it further.

Bug#265653: openoffice.org: Doesn't work on remote display -- extra information

2005-05-17 Thread Matthew T. Atkinson
Package: openoffice.org
Version: 1.1.3-9
Followup-For: Bug #265653

Hi,

I get this problem too.  I am forwarding OOo as a client from a PowerPC
machine to my x86 desktop.  Just for the record, my error message is:

The program 'soffice.bin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
  (Details: serial 83 error_code 1 request_code 128 minor_code 1)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

I have had similar issues with Gaim, Evolution and Firefox, but they
/always/ work after a couple of tries and their error message is
``BadIDChoice'', not the above one.

I wonder if this could be an underlying problem that OOo just handles
worse than other apps?

best regards,

Bug#309396: gpm: mouse leaves black trails over console rendering it unreadable

2005-05-16 Thread Matthew T. Atkinson
Package: gpm
Version: 1.19.6-19
Severity: important

Hello,

I recently installed on my PowerBook G4 (5,4), using a framebuffer
console.  I find that the mouse pointer character is black (which makes
it hard to read) and when moved, the pointer leaves black charactesr all
over the screen, covering up the text that was underneath.

I have asked on debian-powerpc and not yet got a reply so am not sure
how many people are affected.  It could be all PPC users but as I have
not received any confirmation of this in the last 48 hours I thought I'd
not mark this as a grave bug, lest it hold up the impending release!

Please let me know if there is any other information I could provide.

Thanks for the tip; I had read the man page but not HTML docs :-S.
However, using either EPSCrop and/or EPSFitPage doesn't work for me.  It
produces results that go off the paper in gpdf and don't even show up in
the final document that pdflatex produces.  The ones I modified by hand
still work fine though...

Perhaps there is something else I'm missing, but EPSCrop and EPSFitPage
were the only seemingly relevant options in Use.html.

Would you say this is still a bug, then?

Bug#303107: gs-common: ps2pdf ignores %%BoundingBox in EPS files

2005-04-04 Thread Matthew T. Atkinson
Package: gs-common
Version: 0.3.7
Severity: normal

Hello,

I'm exporting images from Inkscape to EPS format, then using ps2pdf so
that they can be incorporated into a pdflatex document.  The problem
that I am having is this:

ps2pdf ignores the %%BoundingBox property in the header of EPS fiels.
The result of this is that when one views the PDF file, it takes up a
coomplete US Letter page.  This makes it unusable as a figure inside a
document.

The current workaround is to edit the EPS file and copy the details of
the BoudingBox, then open the PDF file in an editor, go to the near the
end and re-insert the correct value for the ``MediaBox'' array.  In all
PDFs converted from EPS, this array is always set to the dimensions of a
US Letter page ([0 0 612 792]).

It would be most helpful to _not_ have to go through this for every
figure I'm creating :-).  Many thanks in advance for your time and help,

best regards,

I'm not sure how recently it got there (don't often update that box as
it is quite remote from me) but it's there now.  Thank you very much;
it's great to have them working again!

2005-02-23 Thread Matthew T. Atkinson
Hello,

I can confirm that the 1.0 patch causes the problem.  However, it may
surprise you to learn that the 1.1 patch also does!  I am not (yet)
forcing grey colour modes; am concentrating on getting some paper size
issues fixed at the moment.

The source will be public at some point; we're looking for hosting at
the moment (may use sf.net or berlios.de as they have SVN).

Hope this helps; well it should at least point to that KRGB patch as
culprit...

I've built and used both 8.14 and 8.15 during the development of my IJS
module so far.  Both worked.  I got them both from ghostscript.com so no
KRGB patch, as you explained.

I'll try this ASAP.  This Debian package has the patch doesn't it?  I'll
try it and let you know what happens.

Regarding alien and deb-building, once I did the opposite of what you
described -- made RPMs from my .debs :-).  Its always nice to use open
systems, IMO, as they generally try to make such interoperability easy.

Thanks for the information; I am still learning IJS and hdn't yet read
much of that part of the spec.  I hate to be wasteful, though, so will
definitely try to cut down on sending more data than is necessary.

I'm afraid I won't be able to do that for a while; I was going to last
night but my desktop's monitor decided to break.  I can't test the
packages on my laptop because it's not the same architecture as the
packages :-).  If you have the sources, I can build them, though...

Bug#294430: Debian bug 294430 - printing core dies with 1-bit (B/W) devices.

Hello,

Thanks for the update.  As it happens, the IJS module for the Braille
embosser I'm working on can accept colour data (but converts it to
greyscale).  This is because the embosser is capable of printing at a
number of different ``intensity'' levels.  So it's not usually a 1-bit
device (as the test input I'm using is in colour).

Does this mean that the bugs may still be separate?  I really wouldn't
know if the KRGB patch is what's causing problems in my IJS module, but
if there are any tests I could do that might help you solve this bug,
please let me know.

As I'm running apache2 I don't have that file.  I'd say it presents a
pretty grave bug for this package, due to the fact that the file is
missing from whichever package it used to be in.

Hope this information helps -- looks like it's not your bug, but it's a

Bug#294430: gs-gpl: New Upstream fixes IJS Segfault

2005-02-09 Thread Matthew T. Atkinson
Package: gs-gpl
Version: 8.01-5
Severity: normal

Hello,

Using the new GPL Ghostscript 8.15 (released in November 2004) I am able
to run an IJS module that segfaults on the Debian version of gs-gpl
(8.01).  Would it be possible to use this new upstream version now that
it is GPL?

The IJS module is a Braille printer driver, currently in development.
It works with 8.14 and above.  It would have an impact on the
suitability of Debian for a number of charities and educational
establishments that own a Tiger Braille embosser if the new upstream
version was to be adopted.

Thanks for your time, best regards,


Matthew

symlink
mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/4ssd.1.gz is a dangling symlink

It appears I have two layers of dangling symlings becuase:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls /usr/share/man/man1/4ss_manager.1.gz  -lhaF
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 34 Dec 19 16:40
/usr/share/man/man1/4ss_manager.1.gz ->
/etc/alternatives/4ss_manager.1.gz

both of the above show up as broken symlinks on my system.

Hope this information helps and that the bug can be resulved before
Sarge's release (it's quit annoying getting Ks of messages about
dangling symlinks ;-))

Thanks in advance, best regards,


Matthew
