Bug#1059856: correction to patch

2024-01-03 Thread Nicola Manini

Hello,
it seems that the folder /etc/environment.d is not honored.
So my suggested patch (involving adding a file there) fails.

A workaround is to add the following line:
MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1
to configuration file
/etc/environment

This method does work.
But I ignore if modifying a configuration file is consistent with Debian 
packaging policies.


Thanx! Best,
NM



Bug#918211: Acknowledgement (ovito: depends on obsolete libnetcdf11)

2019-01-05 Thread Nicola Manini
Hello,
I notice now that ovito has been removed from testing.
Apparently the problem is well known then.
I think this bug is useless and can be closed at this point.

Thanks a lot!

Hello Carsten,
I'm happy to report that current thunderbird 1:52.9.1-1 is free 
from
this overzealous address autocompletion bug.

786962 can be closed (well, assuming icedove and thunderbird are the same).

Bug#902229: reassign rather than close?

2018-07-04 Thread Nicola Manini
Hello,
I faced this very same issue today.
googling this bug report was extremely useful: I deleted timidity, and now
sound is back.  Obviously this is no solution, as I (or someone else) will
need timidity eventually.

I understand this is not a kernel related issue, but it is still a serious
issue anyway: timidity may grab the sound card at random moments, making
sound unusable.
I cannot tell who is actual package (timidity? systemd?) responsible for this
nor how this can be corrected (maybe insert an extra delay before the
timidity daemon is started?), but it sure requires a fix.

So shouldn't this bug be reassigned rather than closed?

Thanks!

Best,
Nick



Bug#851066: flashplugin-nonfree: Download file not available at people.debian.org

2017-01-16 Thread Nicola Manini
I confirm this problem, as reported by Peter Denison.
I observed it last week too, but did not report it immediately expecting that
the file at http://people.debian.org/~bartm/ would soon be fixed.
It has now been missing for about 1 week.

This bug can be reproduced equally with
update-flashplugin-nonfree --install
and with
dpkg-reconfigure flashplugin-nonfree

Thank you in advance for fixing!

Bug#851246: ovito: missing symbolic links to libQSsh.so and other shared libraries

2017-01-13 Thread Nicola Manini
Package: ovito
Version: 2.3.3+dfsg1-2+b5
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable

Hello,
when invoking ovito from the command line it fails with the
following message:

ovito: error while loading shared libraries: libQSsh.so: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory

ovito fails to start when invoked from the menu as well.

Note that the shared object exists:
dpkg -S libQSsh.so
ovito: /usr/lib/ovito/libQSsh.so

Thus, it is just a matter of a missing symbolic link.
Indeed ovito works fine after symbolic links are created as follows:
ln -s /usr/lib/ovito/libQSsh.so /usr/lib
ln -s /usr/lib/ovito/libVideo.so /usr/lib
ln -s /usr/lib/ovito/libBase.so /usr/lib

[All three of them are needed: after restoring the link to libQSsh.so one
finds that ovito wants the the 2 other so's too...]

Thank you in advance for fixing!
All the best,
Nick

Bug#848040: xfig: fails to display imported eps or pdf Pictures

2016-12-13 Thread Nicola Manini
Package: xfig
Version: 1:3.2.6-1
Severity: normal

Hello,
xfig has quit showing inserted eps or pdf Pictures.
To reproduce:
   Fire up xfig.
   Click on the Picture button.
   Click in the main window and draw a box.
   In the open dialog, click on Browse and select an arbitrary 1-page eps
   or pdf file.
   An error message pops up saying "EPS object read OK, but no preview
   bitmap found/generated".
   The picture does not show up in the xfig screen.

However the figure is known correctly to xfig, and it does show in any export.
Bitmapped graphics still shows all right.

Thank you for fixing this significant regression!

Best,
Nick

Bug#786962: icedove: overzealous address autocompletion: completes to undesired address

2015-05-28 Thread Nicola Manini

Hello Carsten!

On 05/28/2015 07:37 AM, Carsten Schoenert wrote:

Hello Nicola,
I tried to reproduce the described behavior of course. But I can't see
your issue here on my various installed versions. And I use version from
Wheezy, Jessie, testing and experimental. For me it works in *every*
version. Your bug report is the first active report that says there is a
problem in the autocompletion and as far as I can remember we had never
a bug report that was complaining anything about the autocompletion. So
it is hard for me to believe that we have a problem here.

So I have to ask the question I'm always asking in evetry second report,
have you tried to disable all extensions and retune the behavior? Start
Icedove from a terminal by 'icedove -safe-mode', are there any useful
output to see in the terminal?


OK, I did as you suggest:
I get the following message in the terminal:
(process:30699): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 
'sys_page_size == 0' failed


Then a small dialog opens: I tick no options which would permanently change 
settings, and click to Continue in safe mode.  icedove starts ok, although 
with a window size different from usual.
I tested the autocompletion problem, and it is still present as detailed in 
my report.



Did this happen if you start with a new profile?


Yes.  I closed icedove, moved folder .icedove to a different name. Then 
restarted icedove in safe mode as above.

It asked me to setup, which I did.
I then created a single entry foo@test.ee in the otherwise empty address 
book.  I then clicked on Write to created a new message.  Started to type 
b...@test.ee in the address slot, and at any typing stage icedove would 
propose the completion foo@test.ee
Even if I did not accept the suggestion, icedove would replace b...@test.ee 
with foo@test.ee.  And even when I went back to correct the address to 
b...@test.ee ,  as soon as I hit return or tab or click somewhere else, the 
address would go back to foo@test.ee


As a complement of information, I note that in the Icedove Preferences, under 
the Addressing tab, the option

When addressing messages, look for matching entries in:
Local Address Books  - is ticked.
Directory Server - is unticked

As an extra complement of information, I confirm that at least the OpenPGP 
add on is not working now that I run icedove in safe mode.



If it did work the way you write above you should close this bug, rather than
changing its severity.


No, changing the severity is something completely different than closing a
report. So why should I close the report? What's important for? I picked
up the entry from https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#severities

important
 a bug which has a major effect on the usability of a package,
without rendering it completely unusable to everyone.

For me there is no major effect like you can't send anything or
absolutely not use the adressbook or configure new accounts, so your bug
is right now nothing more than the other normal bugs.


OK, thanx.

Ciao,
Nick

 Hello Nick,

Hello Carsten!

 You have two posibilities, just type the email adress further you want
 to use and ignore the suggestions. Or select the correct email adress by
 the mouse or cursor. If you want to use a adress you never have used
 before you have to type the whole adress.

I did type the whole address.
What I tried to say in my report is that the damn autocompletion replaces the
typed address with the other address stored in the Address Book, no matter
what I type in the address line.  I see no way to avoid/bypass the suggestion.
Please do try to reproduce the foo/bar example I make in my original message.

 So I can't really see a regression here. The logic is trying to find a
 suitable adress and this also with a focus an the most used adress.

I understand and like the logic of autocompletion, as long as it allows a
choice not to use its suggestion...

 I can't see why this autocompletion is rendering Icedove mostly unusable
 so I set the severity back to normal.

If it did work the way you write above you should close this bug, rather than
changing its severity.

Thank you!

Nick

Bug#755492: extra info

2014-10-07 Thread Nicola Manini
Hello,
I confirm this bug in xfig/1:3.2.5.c-3 on a standard up-to-date 
jessie (pc).

I wish to add that:
1) xfig crashes silently (segfaults) when loading .fig files created
previously, as soon as they contain at least one line with dot-dashed style;
2) any of the LineStyles combining both dashes and dots induces crashes,
while the solid and pure dots or pure dashes LineStyles are fine;
3) I didn't observe this bug in the previous version, so it should be easy to
track down.

I'm available for further inquiries and for testing fixed versions.

Thanx!

All the best,
Nick

This bug makes evince practically unusable for most purposes.
I suggest reverting to an older sane version, such as 3.4.0 until this is

Another me too, but even worse than before.
Since yesterday, when my laptop resumes from suspend, it does not resume
network.

The button Enable Networking on the nm-applet would not work.

ifconfig only lists lo, no eth0 nor wlan0

To restore networking I had to
/etc/init.d/network-manager stop
/etc/init.d/network-manager start

Yesterday, before this problem started, I upgraded some 50 packages, so
this problem may be due to some interaction.
I'm ready for further testing  providing feedback.

This is jessie, so I suggest removing on Wheezy from the title of this
bug (or, even better, fixing it  ;-) ).

Bug#729839: network-manager: forgets previously connected network upon sleep/reboot

2013-11-18 Thread Nicola Manini
Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.8.0-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
I have multiple configurations for both wireless
and wired interfaces: since upgrading to jessie, every time my pc reboots
or wakes up from sleep it has forgotten which one of them was the last
connected network, and tries to connect a random (usually incorrect) one.
The user has then to select the proper connection manually.  Otherwise the
computer would usually remain disconnected from the net.

This is a regression compared to the wheezy version 0.9.4.1-5.

I think this is unrelated to
#632850 (now the ethernet adapter is recognized correctly, just a wrong
 configuration is applied to it)
#692004 (different/opposite behavior)

The maintainer may wish to raise the severity, as in certain cases this may
lead to data loss, e.g. on a computer whose display/graphic card fails.
With the previous correct behavior, user could have her computer connect
automatically to the last used wireless or wired network and access her
data through the net. The current behavior would instead leave the machine
disconnected and data unretriavable (without physically removing pieces of
hardware such as the HD).

Thank you in advance for fixing!
All the best,
Nick

I find a similar behavior in the package currently in testing.

Typically on laptop wakeup from sleep, the nm-applet crashes.

Bug#705605: libreoffice-impress: Export to .pptx screws up several formattings

2013-04-18 Thread Nicola Manini

 Confirmed (in 4.0.3 rc1, but that shouldn't be worse than the 4.0.2 which
 is in experimental, so..).
 Now the question is whether the pptx is screwed up or LO re-imports it badly.
 I also assume the first, but...

I made a little inquiry on this question.  I asked a windows-addicted friend, 
running Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 (12.0.4518.1014) MSO 
(12.0.4518.1014) to open the .pptx generated by libreoffice as above, and he 
tells me that PowerPoint complanins that it cannot open the file because it 
is apparently damaged.  (The .ppt opens fine instead.)

So yes indeed the .pptx is screwed up.

Maybe for wheezy someone might modify the Save As menu of all possible File 
formats, adding something like (Experimental) before Microsoft PowerPoint 
2007/2010 XML (.pptx), so that users do not have excessive expectations.

A little patch for a man, one giant leap for userkind.  ;-)

Thank you for your kind attention Rene, ciao,

Bug#674819: indeed it is a regression

2012-10-25 Thread Nicola Manini
I used gimp several times since the current release came out, but I still 
find this export thing so annoying.  The worst is the final message about 
unsaved changes: it trains users to ignore such kind of message and 
automatically discard changes, risking to lose data if forgetting to 
export before.


I understand that gimp developers want to push the gimp format, but this 
export thing is definitely the wrong way to. And people around are not ready 
to convert all their jpg collections anyway...


Of course all this has nothing to do with debian, but if enough such 
complaints pass upstream, maybe the developers would think better for next 
release.


Thanx!
Nick

Bug#683726: closed by Julien Cristau

2012-08-31 Thread Nicola Manini
As suggested, I replaced the nvidia driver with nouveau: now sleepresume 
work like breeze (prompter than with nvidia!).

Even the glx acceleration is more than fair: I'll stick to nouveau.

In conclusion, the kernel is fine, this breakage was a problem of the 
interaction with the closed-source driver: let the guys at nvidia find a 
fix... ;-)


Thank you, ciao,
N.

Bug#683726: closed by Julien Cristau jcris...@debian.org (Re: Bug#683726: additional info)

2012-08-04 Thread Nicola Manini

I will remove the nvidia driver and retest everything under nouveau.
However I have little hope that it will work, since prior to installing 
nvidia I had tested nouveau extensively: suspend-resume had never worked 
under the open-source driver.


This bug is quite likely related to the graphic card restarting into a broken 
state, and this of course due to the nvidia driver, except it used to work 
fine with the previous kernel revision, so apparently it is some change in 
the kernel which causes a regression in this interaction.


If anything interesting turns out with the nouveau driver, I'll report it here.

Best,
Nick

Bug#683726: linux-image-3.2.0-3-686-pae: hangup on resume from suspend on dell latitude E6500

2012-08-03 Thread Nicola Manini
Package: src
Version: 3.2.21-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
my laptop hangs on resume from suspend to memory, since the upgrade
to 3.2.0-3-686-pae
With the previous kernel we had in testing until last June, sleep/wakeup
was perfect.

I attach the syslog from boot (Aug 3 13:27:27) to when I initiated the
sleep from the gdm3 button (Aug 3 13:29:12) (no change if sleep is
initiated by a user running a session).
At this point the laptop was apparently asleep, with the slowly flashing 
power led, off vents, and no network connectivity from outside.
After a few secs (Aug 3 13:29:33) I tried to resume the computer by briefly
pressing the power button.  At this point the PC was up and accessible from
the net, so I could login and retrieve the syslog.
However the screen was black but for a flashing white line in the left top
corner.  No possibility to switch screen (ctr-alt-FN).
After less than a minute (Aug 3 13:30:18) the pc starts beeping, and sends
all logged terminals frequent kernel messages of the type seen at the end
of the attached syslog. It is possible to still access the pc from the net.
I could even reboot it, although occasionally it locks and the power
button must be pressed to regain control.
The bug is reproducible at will.

This bug recalls 680707, but according to Jonathan Nieder it is different,
so I'm filling a separate report.

Thanx!
Nick

show aa for both songs.



Even in rhythmbox if you first remove both files from the list, close 
rhythmbox, then reopen rhythmbox and reload the files from scratch, you get 
them with the wrong tags (both aa).



- Both album tags now equal aa, while they should be aa and bb respectively,
   instead.



I can't reproduce this issue. After following the steps you outlined,
a.mp3 is tagged aa and b.mp3 is tagged bb.


Would you mind reporting this bug upstream and let us know when you've
done so we can tag the bug accordingly.


OK, I have a Bugzilla account, I'll do that.

I'll come back with feedback here.

Bug#606231: prboom: cannot select joystick buttons beyond 4

2010-12-07 Thread Nicola Manini
Package: prboom
Version: 2:2.5.0+dfsg1-5
Severity: minor


Once the joystick is enabled, in the keyboard setup one can select the
joystick buttons up to button 4 for actions. In fact, most modern
joystick/gamepads have far more than 4 (e.g. mine has 12), but these sdl
events are just ignored.  Please correct this and allow also joystick
events above button 4 to be assignable to game controls.  In particular the
left and right strife should be assignable to the joystick, not just the
keyboard.  The simple strife modifier of left/right turn is much less
practical.  More generally, I think that the user should be allowed to
map any keyboard event of her/his liking to a gamepad button.

Otherwise the joystick is supported beautifullysmoothly, thanx!

All the best,
Nick

Bug#573429: installation-reports: some characters screwed up in menus + windoze detected but omitted from grub menu

2010-08-30 Thread Nicola Manini

Otavio Salvador wrote:

forcemerge 573429 567980
thanks

Hello,


I re-tested debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso as of today Aug 30, 2010.


1) characters meant for menu boundaries were corrupt, and printed
funny-looking ascii characters.  Everything was usable, but certainly not
as intended by those who programmed the installer.


Please see if you can reproduce it using current daily images and
provide a screenshot or picture of it so we can see what you mean by
corrupt. In meanwhile I will assume it is working fine.


The problem is gone, menus look fine now.


2) the network detection seems a regression from the lenny installer I tried
several months ago.  I do not use dhcp, so I specify the network manually.
The old lenny installer was happy with the network number, gateway, and
DNS.  The installer then discovered the computer name and domain
automatically. This new squeeze installer needs all this info by hand.


Please in case you can reproduce it using latest dailies elaborate it
a bit more because I didn't figure out what you meant.


When you connect to a network using not DHCP but a static IP, it is 
sufficient for the installer to know

1) the IP of the computer to be installed
2) the gateway to connect to the network
3) the DHCP to resolve hosts.
Everything else should be deduced by interrogating the network.
Indeed the lennny installer does not ask for any other information.
The new squeeze installer instead then proceeds to ask for:
4) computer name
5) domain name
These last 2 steps should be removed as unnecessary, and restore lenny 
installer's name and domain resolution from the the network.

(I guess, by calling the host commandline program with

host $IP | awk '{print $NF}'

[where $IP holds the static IP just provided by the user],
or something equivalent in other scripting languages).


3) the installer detected correctly the windoze OS, and made me assume that
it would be included it in the grub initial menu.  It wasn't.
Post installation I had to run update-grub manually, then the menu did
include windoze as expected.


I can confirm this issue. I am reassigning it to grub-installer since
it needs to be fixed there.


OK.


Thanks a lot by reporting it.


Not at all, I'm a proud debian user, and making debian better and more 
friendly is an important task.

Thank you, who do the programming effort!

Best,
Nick

Bug#583575: emacs: esc-q in LaTeX mode mixes with commented line above

2010-05-28 Thread Nicola Manini
Package: emacs
Version: 23.1+1-5
Severity: normal
Tags: squeeze


In LaTeX mode, esc-q has an incorrect behavior on a paragraph preceded by a
commented line (starting with %).
As an example, create a file a.tex including the 3 following lines:
%
dog
cat
Then open it with emacs (either in its windowed or the -nw version).
Go with the cursor on the second line.
Type esc-q
The outcome is
% dog cat
rather than the correct
%
dog cat

This bug is new of the squeeze version of emacs (23.1+1-5)
It is not present in the lenny version (22.2+2-5).

Thanx for a fix!

Bug#574614: It's a bug of a nvidia related package, I think

2010-05-24 Thread Nicola Manini
Yes, it mostly is a bug of the nvidia driver package, but there is also a m-a 
related part, which expects fixing.


Indeed the solution suggested by Marco Mattiolo worked for me.
I installed nvidia-kernel-dkms from sid.  This introduced me to the ease of 
dkms, which makes m-a much less useful than it used to be.
For this specific install, I also needed to create a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file 
with the following contents:

Section Device
Identifier  Default screen
Driver  nvidia
EndSection


Philosophical observation:
Probably stable should go for the dkms scheme for non-free drivers of this 
sort, that would be even better than the pre-compiled package, and remain 
more compatible with future testing.

Bug#574614: /usr/bin/module-assistant: fails building nvidia-kernel module and interface gets confused

2010-03-19 Thread Nicola Manini
Package: module-assistant
Version: 0.11.3
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/module-assistant


While building nvidia-kernel in squeeze, the kbuild fails as follows:

nvidia.ko failed to build!

The above might reflect a bug of linux-kbuild-2.6.32 , or of
nvidia-kernel-source, rather than of m-a.

After this failure, the m-a enters the menu which proposes to
 VIEW  Examine the build log file 
 CONTINUE  Skip and continue with the next operation 
 STOP  Stop processing the build commands 
After VIEWing the log, the m-a remains in a confused state, by pressing
down-arrow to reach CONTINUE os STOP, some undetectable lines scroll below
the fake windows, and m-a exits.

This is surely a bug of m-a.
It may help to know that I was running it in a xterm.
I provide a snapshot of the terminal after this failure, in attachment.
I also attach the full m-a log.

Thanx!

Comments/Problems:

Everything went smoothly: thanx for the great job!
Just minor problems:
1) characters meant for menu boundaries were corrupt, and printed
funny-looking ascii characters.  Everything was usable, but certainly not
as intended by those who programmed the installer.
2) the network detection seems a regression from the lenny installer I tried
several months ago.  I do not use dhcp, so I specify the network manually.
The old lenny installer was happy with the network number, gateway, and
DNS.  The installer then discovered the computer name and domain 
automatically. This new squeeze installer needs all this info by hand.

3) the installer detected correctly the windoze OS, and made me assume that
it would be included it in the grub initial menu.  It wasn't.
Post installation I had to run update-grub manually, then the menu did 
include windoze as expected.

Windoze 7 had to restart once in some protected mode, but after that it was
happy enough.
This bug could create serious trouble to non-experts.

All hardware works fine out of the box, except for the wi-fi Network
controller (for which I did as instructed at http://wiki.debian.org/iwlagn)
the camera (i'll look after that next) and the audio capture (needs a few 
clicks to configure).


All the best,
Nick Manini

Bug#428030: fvwm: cursor disappears when secondlife client is running

2009-06-24 Thread Nicola Manini

I have been unable to reproduce this (I do not have a second
 life client, and the software is non-free), I have not seen this
 behaviour elsewhere, and I wonder if this still happens with newer
 versions of fvwm.

In any case, unless tehre is a means of reproducing this with, I
 think that the problem is isolated, and would be hard to solve.


The bug does not occur any more with the combination of
the current stable release of fvwm 1:2.5.26-1 and
the current SecondLife client 1.23.4.123523

I suggest we close it.

Thanx!
Nick

Bug#475112: more info: predictable way to reproduce crash

2009-05-08 Thread Nicola Manini

Hello,
		I found a predictable and reproducible way to obtain this X crash... 
admittedly running a non-debian piece of software.


I installed the current linux version 1.22.11.113941 of the Secondlife 
client from http://secondlife.com/support/downloads.php , logged to my 
Secondlife account, and tried to change the graphics resolution in 
Edit-Preferences.  X crashes all the times within 2 seconds.  As in my 
previous post, it is impossible to restart X afterwards.  One can just log 
into the textual console and reboot the machine.


I experienced occasional crashes of the Secondlife client in the past, but 
never induced a full crash of X.


The error log is the usual
Error in I830WaitLpRing(), timeout for 2 seconds
pgetbl_ctl: 0x0001 getbl_err: 0x
ipeir: 0x iphdr: 0x7fd7
LP ring tail: 0x36f0 head: 0x3714 len: 0x0001f001 start 0x


I hope this helps, all the best,
Nick

Bug#475112: also found in 2:2.3.2-2+lenny6

2009-04-29 Thread Nicola Manini

Hello,
	I also found this bug in 2:2.3.2-2+lenny6  running on my  intel graphics 
G33 chipset.


I wish to add 2 possibly useful pieces of information:

- this week this crash occurred twice in 3 days; before I never had it, and 
my X session lasted for at least 4 months without a glimpse.  So maybe it is 
related to some late update of lenny.


- the second crash was occasionated by pressing return as I filled a form 
in iceweasel


- most importantly: after these crashes X would *not be able to start up* 
any more, the system remains in a non-X status.  Even if I killed gdm, 
entered a console session and entered startx, the screen would flash a few 
times in the attempt to switch to graphical mode, but eventually failed with 
the same error in the X log:


Error in I830WaitLpRing(), timeout for 2 seconds

3054: 03cc2000
3058: 000400f0


- I tried repeatedly to restart X, to no success: to resume a normal 
operation mode, I had to reboot my machine.



If needed, I could send the complete logs, but they look very similar to 
those reported in this bug (and other similar bugs).

Thanx for any effort to a fix!

Best,
Nick

Bug#448809: galeon: found in Galeon 2.0.6-2+b1

2009-02-10 Thread Nicola Manini
Package: galeon
Version: 2.0.6-2+b1
Followup-For: Bug #448809

Hi,
as ariana is not responding, let me add a word on this:
Indeed, as one navigates, the memory usage of galeon piles up to larger and
larger values (easily in eccess of 100 MB after visiting 4 or 5 news sites
such as cnn.com), and never cleans up to the same initial small value when
closing all tabs and reverting to a single blank page (about:blank).
I find the same behavior with iceape (apparently not with firefox), though.
I never used valgrind, so I suggest it is more efficient if you Loic could
test it yourself on your own debian system.  Or ariana and I are the only
ones who reproduce this behavior?

Thanx, best,
   Nick

Bug#75403: stiil exists also in latest unstable

2008-10-15 Thread Nicola Manini

Package: gnuplot
Found 75403 4.2.4-1
Found 75403 4.2.2-1.2
Severity: serious
Justification: could cause data loss
Stop

Package: texlive-fonts-extra
Version: 2007.dfsg.4-1
Severity: serious
Justification: nosell license

Hello,
I find that this bug has not been fixed in 4.2.4-1 , as present 
in unstable.
Also it remains open in the current stable 4.0.0-5 (of course: same version!) 
and testing 4.2.2-1.2 snapshots.


I'm trying to escalate the severity of this bug since it really can cause data 
loss while typing unseen potentially harmful commands on an unreadable line.

Just to repeat my example of 30 May 2007:
Open gnuplot and type a long line (exceeding the terminal width), then press 
left arrow long enough to reach (without knowing) the beginning of the line (or 
press ctrl-a).

Then type
!rm *
(with a space character after the *): Nothing understandable is visible on the 
screen.  If you now press enter this removes all files in the current directory 
without you seeing it coming.
Many similar examples could be cooked up, so I guess this really is serious and 
should be fixed.


This bug with a hinted solution was forwarded upstream on 21 Aug 2006 : I can't 
believe these guys do not give a damn about the whole Debian community and have 
not fixed it in over 2 years!  There are at least 7674 users of gnuplot around 
(which run popularity-contest), plus all the Ubuntu users.


Is there anything we could do to get this thing fixed at last?

Thanx,
  Nick

Comments/Problems:

The lenny installer seems generally working, and pretty friendly as well.
Unfortunately it fails on installing grub.
It just says it failed without any further elaboration, and I'm afraid this 
would be a final error for a non-expert user.


I also tried to install lilo and grub2, which also both fail.

So, I completed the installation without bootloader, and rebooted using the 
installer in rescue mode.  I opened a shell with /dev/hda4 mounted as / .

I then
aptitude install grub
/usr/sbin/grub-install /dev/hda
Thus I got a bootable pc.
Thus, I suspect that something goes wrong with the installer running something 
like
/usr/sbin/grub-install --root-directory=/target /dev/...
but have no idea whether it is a misbehavior of grub or of the installer.

I booted into debian, and proceeded to select the tasks, thus correcting the 
other problem of the installer: it only proposes a list with the Standard System 
 in the initial installation.
Everything works fine then, without any need of extra tuning, including audio, 
xorg at the correct native screen resolution.  Cute!

Keep up the good work! Best,
   Nick

Bug#428030: fvwm: cursor disappears when secondlife client is running

2007-06-08 Thread Nicola Manini

Subject: fvwm: cursor disappears when secondlife client is running
Package: fvwm
Version: 1:2.5.18-3
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***
Hello,
when I run the secondlife client, now SecondLife_i686_1_16_0_6 just
downloaded from secondlife.com, within fvwm (stable version), the cursor
blinks and almost disappears when focusing outside the SL client window.
The cursor disappears e.g. on xterm's, on the fvwm menus and on the background.
The ghost cursor is still working propertly: one can select text in xterm
and click on fvwm buttons all right, but working without actually seeing
the mouse becomes pretty annoying...
More info:
1- the problem occurs regardless of the way (keyboard/mouse/Alt-Tab)
   employed to move the focus away from the SL client;
2- the problem occurs equally for other windows in the same and in other
   virtual desktop screens;
3- my .fvwm2rc policy is: ColormapFocus FollowsMouse
4- also, the keyboard reacts rather slowly under these ghost-mouse conditions;
5- the problem ceases upon exiting from the SL client, and re-occurs when
   that one is started again;
6- no such problems occurs under gnome.

I understand that the SL client may not be fully compliant with some
X11/unix standard, but I believe no WM should be tricked by specific
running programs into sabotaging other running programs, so maybe this
should be classified as important.

Maybe Manoj (or someone else out there) could give it a try with the current
testing fvwm release, or otherwise I'll do it when I find time to upgrade.

All the best, ciao,
Nick

Bug#319994: reopen Bug#319994 (Well reproducible also in the latest version)

2007-05-30 Thread Nicola Manini

Dear Cyril,
I upgraded to the latest 4.2.0-3:
dpkg -l gnuplot
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name   VersionDescription
+++-==-==-
ii  gnuplot4.2.0-3A command-line driven interactive plotting p

in my etch box (that required upgrading some libc, locales and a few other chain 
dependencies).


I'm afraid this bug is perfectly reproducible.
For example, type the following:

mkdir test
cd test
echo 1 2\n3 4  pippo
gnuplot

and then, at the gnuplot command line, type

p'piTAB

As you press TAB, you expect that the line is completed to
p'pippo
(as in most linux distributions / unix builds), but the debian gnuplot does 
nothing.
Tried both within xterm and gnome-terminal: this has nothing to do with an
interaction with the terminal.

So, sorry but once again this bug is not fixed: please do the little test above 
before next release, to make sure this bug is really fixed.


Similarly, #75403 is still open (I'll send a message regarding that one too).
Instead I can certify that #384919 was indeed fixed.

Thank you, all the best,
   Nick

Bug#75403: reopen Bug#75403 (Broken in latest unstable, as well as in stable)

2007-05-30 Thread Nicola Manini

package gnuplot
found 75403 4.2.0-3
thanks

Hello,
this bug is still open for both 4.2.0-3 and the stable snapshot 
4.0.0-5.

I suspect it is related to #319994: please read specifically the info provided 
by Chali Ahmul M.P.U [EMAIL PROTECTED] about readline, in 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=319994


To test this bug, just open a terminal (xterm, gnome-terminal or whatever), 
enter gnuplot and type any sequence of characters which exceeds the line length, 
so that the line folds to the next.  Then press left arrow and go back through 
the typed line.  All is fine until you reach the left border of the screen, then 
you loose track of the cursor, which is indeed somewhere along the command line, 
but you don't know where.


This can be very annoying and can lead to incorrect command lines, and even to 
undesired DATA LOSS, in unlucky cases.
Consider for example you type a long line, then you press left arrow long enough 
to reach (without knowing) the beginning of the line.  Then you type

!rm *
(with a space character after the *) and press enter.  Regardless of the 
contents of the rest of the long line, this would remove all files in the 
current directory without you seeing beforehand.  I admit this is a bit 
extreme, but other data loss could occur with unwanted and unseen typing, 
resulting in a line starting with:

!cat  VeryPreciousAndExpensiveFile
So I also propose to increase the severity to grave, but I leave this up to 
you Cyril.


By the way, this bug is surely absent in all Fedora Core releases I tested and 
in SUSE 9.2.


All the best,
Nick

Bug#415638: maybe broken install?

2007-04-27 Thread Nicola Manini

Hello,
apparently the module gnuplot_x11
is built correctly in /build/buildd/gnuplot-4.2.0/src but it is then not moved 
into its supposed final destination /usr/lib/gnuplot
I know very little of ia64, and have no access to a ia64 machine to experiment 
here, but for anybody even vaguely familiar with that architecture this should 
be an easy fix: either /usr/lib/gnuplot does not make sense under ia64 or it 
should be easy to figure out why the line
/usr/bin/install -c 'gnuplot_x11' 
'/build/buildd/gnuplot-4.2.0/debian/tmp/usr/lib/gnuplot/gnuplot_x11'
(see i386 log 
http://experimental.debian.net/build.php?pkg=gnuplotver=4.2.0-2arch=kfreebsd-i386file=log) 
was not executed for ia64.


We gnuplot users out here are very much looking forward to gnuplot 4.2.0-1 
entering unstable/testing, especially since it (hopefully) holds a fix of ugly 
bug #319994.  Please Cyril could you spare a little of your precious time and 
manage to squash this damn serious #415638 bug, so that we can finally upgrade 
and be as happy debian gnuplotters as fedora/suse gnuplotters are?


Thank you! All the best,
Nick

Bug#419930: listarchives: posting frequency units Posts/h inappropriate (frequency==0)

2007-04-18 Thread Nicola Manini

Package: listarchives
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***
Hello,

the statistics on debian-devel-announce (see
http://murphy.debian.org/lists/debian-devel-announce/details.html ) is
reported in counts Posting Frequency in Postings/h, which, as the graph
shows, is unappropriate units for such a low-traffic list, with about 20
posts/month.  Statistics suggests that one doesn't wanna make averages or
hystograms of less than, say, 10 objects.

I suggest therefore we plot Postings/(2 weeks), and add a bi-weekly point
to the graph.
Alternatively, a monthly average could do.

All the best,
Nick

Bug#415946: bugs.debian.org: bug count inconsistencey among different pages

2007-03-23 Thread Nicola Manini

Package: bugs.debian.org
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Hello,
in this moment (Thu Mar 22 08:03:33 UTC 2007), the release-critical
bug counts read:
520 in http://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/
510 in http://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/debian/all.html
668 in http://people.debian.org/~sesse/bugscan/

The first two refer both to bugs being officially counted at the same time:
Thu Mar 22 06:00:12 UTC 2007.
The ~sesse page refers to
Thu Mar 22 04:19:00 UTC 2007,
and the bug count could hardly have changed by 140 in 2 hours...
Of course the ~sesse page is a beta thing not (yet) part of bugs.debian.org,
but I thought all these incosistencies were worth reporting.

(Of course, I required the browser to reload all 3 pages, in case you
doubted it).

This bug might be related to #403766.

All the best, keep up the great work!
Nick

Bug#63995: comment in support to Don

2007-03-23 Thread Nicola Manini

Hello,
	it makes me smile to read the first requests, dated back in the good old times 
when people found it disturbing to receive 1 spam/day (and bug numbers still 
fitted 5 digits...).
My company's spam-killer has moved to /dev/null as many as 4512 messages to my 
address since Jan 8 2007, i.e. an average 61/day.  About 3 to 6 more come 
through and I need to delete myself every day.

Still, Paul Johnson  Don Armstrong are perfecly right with wontfix.
It's no solution to pretend that simple tricks such as those suggested here 
could protect e-mail addresses in any durable way.

With spammers around, an address can run but can't hide...  ;-(
Nowadays most anti-spamming activity is implemented at router level, and there 
is not much point avoiding one's e-mail to appear on the www: it will anyway 
soon or later.

Best,
Nick

Bug#415287: quick comment

2007-03-20 Thread Nicola Manini

 What's the purpose of this bug that isn't already achieved by #413469?

 Cheers,

Julien, #413469 was correctly downgraded to wishlist, since that bug is only 
about The package is outdated, i.e. the developer wished to push a fresher 
snapshot into etch, which is deep frozen and cannot accept that.
The articulate discussion in #413469 ended with ion3 being removed from etch, 
since the developer (Tuomo) felt only ion2 belongs to a stable distribution.
Development snapshots of ion3 are included in unstable and experimental (see 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/version.cgi?package=ion3 ), so ion3 users can 
choose between use a fresh snapshot in less stable distributions or the oldish 
ion2 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/version.cgi?package=ion2 ).


If I may comment as an unconcerned debian longtime aficionado, I feel this 
solution is suboptimal to users, and also to upstream. A developer should either 
not care or (more likely) be proud that a random development snapshot makes its 
way into debian stable megafreeze, even though he/she has released much 
fresher versions: these are accessible to anybody who cares anyway.
Concerns for bug tracking effort devoted to an old version does not seem too 
serious: if I was in Tuomo's place, I'd leave to the debian package maintainer 
the task of fighting the bugs of a old piece of software until he/she gets bored 
enough to prefer to upgrade to a newer better version.


I hope this upstream/distribution competitive pattern remains an isolated 
example.  If it spreads, it has a potentiality of damaging linux in general and 
debian in particular.


All the best,
  Nick

Bug#400311: mozilla was replaced by the iceape suite in etch

2007-03-06 Thread Nicola Manini

Severity: normal
Justification: refers to confusing name and likely non-existing issue

I suggest that Sect. 5.7 Security status of mozilla products be removed, since 
mozilla is now just transition package to iceape, see 
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/web/mozilla


If the problems it describes still apply to iceape, then
s/mozilla/iceape/g

Bug#219088: this is a very good idea!

2007-03-05 Thread Nicola Manini

Hello,
		many people around find the page http://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/ very 
useful to track the progress of testing-stable.
I strongly support Javier's proposal to add a most desirable new link, pointing 
to a list of the bugs concerning the next release (excluding ignored and 
not-in-testing).  Apparently Javier even includes a script to automatize this, 
but probably one could just tune the script generating the list for All 
putting there the if's used to generate the number written above the plot, so it 
must be a matter of 15 mins programming for those who wrote the scripts and know 
where to look at.


Thanx, all the best,
Nicola Manini

Bug#362072: addition on the effect of OK button

2007-01-29 Thread Nicola Manini

Hello,
		indeed I agree with Mike that network-admin should allow some more in-depth 
setting-up, and that it often has a sleepy behavior.


I'd like to add that when one switches between different Locations, 
network-admin immediately acts and starts doing the network reconfiguration. 
After some time (sometimes seconds, sometimes minutes) the net is up  fully 
functional.  If now one presses the OK button, the whole reconfiguration 
starts all over: net is switched off and on and reconfigured again.
Net ends up working again, but what's the need of all this redoing something 
which was done successfully already?


All the best and keep up the great work!

Bug#385952: fvwm: MenuStyle fontcolor option ignored (Black used instead)

2006-09-04 Thread Nicola Manini

Package: fvwm
Version: 1:2.5.17-1
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***
fvwm ignores the first (foreground) color after MenuStyle in ~/.fvwm2rc ,
e.g. in:
MenuStyle White NavyBlue Grey50 10x20 fvwm
It uses Black regardless of what I put there.
The following (background) color option work fine, though.

Same improper behavior with the alternative syntax:
MenuStyle * Foreground gold

This misbehavior appeared at the latest debian upgrade after the summer.
All the best,
Nick

Bug#360893: acknowledged by developer (Re: Bug#360893: udev takes too long to create /dev/hda... and system drops to a shell)

2006-05-08 Thread Nicola Manini

try to regnerate your initramfs with latest:
update-initramfs -u 


I did: no change, even with initramfs-tool 0.60



well that will only update newest kernel so to update the 2.6.15,
that would have to be specified with -k version aka
update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.15-1-686


Hmm, first, before the kernel upgrade I did the suggested
update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.15-1-686,
and tried to reboot with no success.
Next I did the kernel upgrade to 2.6.16, did not bother to update-initramfs -u, 
 and this one worked fine.



thanks for the feedback, closing bug report.


OK, thank you for your kind help, ciao

Bug#360893: udev takes too long to create /dev/hda... and system drops to a shell

2006-05-02 Thread Nicola Manini

could you try out linux-image-2.6-$flavour from unstable
if that works for you.


Yes, I installed linux-image-2.6.16-1.686
and this one boots fine, no prob.


hmm did you check from the shell if udevd is running with ps aux?


Yes, back when I booted 2.6.15 within the shell, from ps aux | grep udev
I got the following:
837 0 656 S  udevd --daemon


try to regnerate your initramfs with latest:
update-initramfs -u 


I did: no change, even with initramfs-tool 0.60


thanks for your bug report, unfortunately i can pinpoint from the
give info the cause.


Eventually, it seems this one is a 2.6.15 kernel bug rather than 
initramfs-tool's.

Right now, I feel very happy with my new 2.6.16-1.686
As long as it proves itself stable...

Bug#360893: udev takes too long to create /dev/hda... and system drops to a shell

2006-04-20 Thread Nicola Manini

sure the rescue shell can't fix itself magically ;)


Well, if you read my initial bug post, you see that before the upgrade it used 
to sort of fix itself up after a while.  One could eventually boot 2.6.15 bu 
exiting the shell.  Not any more.



please post from the busybox shell:
* the last line of messages you see
* cat /proc/cmdline
* cat /proc/modules
 
before rebooting check that fstype recognises your root fs:

# /usr/lib/klibc/bin/fstype  /dev/hda1


I attach a file with all the required infos.
The boot process makes a long pause (1-2 mins) after it writes
Begin: Waiting for root file system... ...
and then it quickly comes out with the ALERT and BusyBox lines.
I hope that helps.

Thank you, ciao,
Nick

Bug#360893: udev takes too long to create /dev/hda... and system drops to a shell

2006-04-06 Thread Nicola Manini
  The kernel 2.6.8-2-686 cannot use the current udev but boots fine,
  except that X does not start, since it finds no mouse.
 sure there you would need to load mousedev by hand or have
 it listed in /etc/modules..

The first option works fine, the second option lets X come up, but the
mouse is not responding.

  which version of initramfs-tools do you use?
  aka output of:
  dpkg -l initramfs-tools
  
  ii  initramfs-tool 0.53c  tools for generating an initramfs
 
 please try out the unstable initramfs-tools version 0.59b

I did: complete disaster.

After the udev checks, the scrips come up with a message Waiting for the
root filesystem or something of that kind.  Except that, afterwards, the
/dev/hd* entries are never generated. Of course, after a few minutes the
scripts drop out to a shell, but further waiting/exiting does not help.  I
left the computer up all night, with no success.

So, I decided I had better go back to initramfs-tool 0.53c , but that also
wouldn't help!  I even forced a purge of both udev and initramfs-tool and
reinstalled them, but the unbootability of kernel 2.6.15  persists!

Also, the same yesterday unseen message about Waiting... pops up.  This
is extramely surprising, as I checked that I have successfully downgraded
to
ii initramfs-tools 0.53c tools for generating an initramfs
Indeed, by booting on 2.6.8, when I
grep Wait /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/*
I get nothing.
However, when my 2.6.15 boot fails and I drop to the shell, instead I see
that /scripts/local includes that message Waiting

It goes as if the damn initramfs-tools 0.59b got somewhere hidden in the
system and comes back, with very bad effects...

Thank you for any help,
Nick

Bug#360893: udev takes too long to create /dev/hda... and system drops to a shell

2006-04-05 Thread Nicola Manini

Package: udev
Version: 0.088-2
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***
Hi,
after a regular upgrade to the present version of udev a new
problem occurs: udev claims it discovers the hardware correctly and in
particular gives out some messages about my Maxtor, about calling it hda,
hda1, hda2 etc.
Then, after hanging there for a while, the initialization scripts say they
cannot find /dev/hda1 (which is supposed to be mounted as root) and drop to
a shell.  Indeed from there ls /dev/hd* gives nothing for a couple of
minutes.  After that, a message udevd-event about find_free_number: %e is 
deprecated... , such as reported in #359978 #357741, pops up.  Only now the

correct /dev/hd... are created.
After this, if I do nothing and exit from the shell, the system completes
its normal boot.

I read Marco's initial message and was doubtful about the appropriateness
of this bug report, but eventually I thought that I was running udev before
on the same machine with no problem, and never changed any setup manually.
So there is likely some real bug in either udev or in its interaction with
the boot scripts.

Let me know if more hardware/configuration details are needed.

Ciao,
Nick

Bug#359266: linux-image-2.6.15-1-686: generates Bad page state at miscellaneous processes, sometime crashes

Occasionally the kernel broadcasts a message such as:

Bug#293573: discover: Does not detect my audio card (es1371 on a 686)

2005-02-04 Thread Nicola Manini
Package: discover
Version: 2.0.6-3
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
The good old discover 1.5.1 reported correctly my es1371 sound card.
Now I upgraded to discover 2, and after a reboot, the sound card died.
It is not an hardware failure, since a knoppix reboot finds perfectly
working sound.
Presently:
$ discover sound
discover: Bus not found.
$
By the way, the packaging system has some trouble with discover: In
upgrading to discover 2, it keeps libdiscover1 1.5.?, which is then
proposed for upgrade to 1.7.?.  At this point, it conflicts with package
discover and a blind acceptance of the dependencies enforcement proposed
by aptitude leads to removal of discover...
Thanx!
Nick
