Bug#375251: inkscape: Cursor coordinates in status bar do not match ruler numbers

2006-06-24 Thread Tim Baverstock
Package: inkscape
Version: 0.41-4.99.sarge2
Severity: normal


I'm new to Inkscape - trying to find something better than Xfig - but
I'm bewildered that for a completely new document the cursor position
in the status bar just next to the %zoom seems to be 1.25 times the
ruler numbers.

For instance, if I put the cursor immediately below '400' the cursor
position reads '500'. Beneath 200 it reads 250, etc.

I get exactly the same sort of effect if I put the cursor beside 400 in
the vertical ruler: the coordinates read 500.

I've tried setting all the unit measurements to px, and I can't see
anything to control this weird scaling. The most likely thing looked
like 'Default export scaling' but I twiddled with that and it made no
difference.

If this really isn't a bug, please accept my apologies and tell me how
to make the two numbers match up (or why it's so very useful to have
them scaled by 125%)? It's driving me berserk.

Thanks,

Tim

Bug#365460: boot hangs if disc full

2006-04-30 Thread Tim Baverstock
Package: mysql-server-4.1
Version: 4.1.11a-4sarge2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/mysqld


My boot-up hung on 'Starting: mysql' because:

Apr 29 13:28:23 cardinal mysqld[1178]: ^G/usr/sbin/mysqld: Disk is full
writing '/var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.000343' (Errcode: 28). Waiting for
someone to free space... Retry in 60 secs

Since nobody can free space during boot, can this error cause a 'failed'
notifier for mysql please?

Incidentally, this error did not appear on the screen, which would have
been helpful. It would be particularly helpful if it said something like
'disk is full, retrying in 60 seconds (but will quit after 3 retries)'

Thanks,

Tim

Bug#365461: No flushing of old packages

2006-04-30 Thread Tim Baverstock
Package: aptitude
Version: 0.2.15.9-2
Severity: normal


I've been using aptitude for a while, but recently my disc filled up
because the /var/cache/apt/archives were never being flushed of old
packages, despite the manpage apparently saying that was the default.

I fixed it readily with apt-get autoclean, but 'autoclean' seems like
something which should be run by something automatically?

Is this something aptitude should be doing?

Thanks.

Bug#350123: galeon: Link context menu does not offer 'Open with...' like the image context menu.

2006-01-31 Thread Tim Baverstock
Hi.

Yes. The mime-type thing is useful for many applications, but making it the 
sole source of choice is too restrictive. By way of example: it would be 
stupid for 'Vi' to register itself as being able to cope with HTML, but HTML 
is a text-based format and it's fairly natural for someone to want to open a 
HTML link in Vi, to examine it.

If opening a link in an arbitrary application could optionally register it as 
able to handle that mime-type or file extension, that might be particularly 
useful.

Cheers,

Tim

Bug#350123: galeon: Link context menu does not offer 'Open with...' like the image context menu.

2006-01-29 Thread Tim Baverstock
Hi.

The particular example might be a GIMP bug, but the overall issue is that I 
would like Galeon to have a pop-up menu entry that asks me which application 
I want to send an arbitrary link to - not necessarily an SVG to GIMP: it 
could be that I want to send a .txt link to vi, or that I sometimes want to 
send a .wek link to xfwek and sometimes send it to xwek. Perhaps even - 
horrors - a .html link to my shell script that fires up Internet Explorer in 
Wine.

Thanks,

Tim

  This seems to be a problem with Gimp which does not list the SVG Mime

  To the gimp maintainer: perhaps you should dpkg-divert
  /usr/share/gimp/2.0/misc/gimp.desktop when gimp-svg is installed with a
  version listing image/svg+xml in the MimeType field?

Bug#341221: gimp: Open Location fails

2005-11-29 Thread Tim Baverstock
Package: gimp
Version: 2.2.6-1
Severity: normal


I tried to use Galeon's 'Open image with - GIMP' menu option, but GIMP
said: 

---
URL Message

wget exited abnormally on URL
'http://www.baverstock.org.uk/tim/comics/cys.gif'

GIMP Message

Opening 'http://www.baverstock.org.uk/tim/comics/cys.gif' failed:

Plug-In could not open image
---

Other 'Open image with -' options work happily.

So I tried that URL in the 'Open Location' menu item in GIMP with the
same results.

I wrote a quick indirection script for wget, to log what parameters GIMP
was giving it, and it reported this:

wget -e server-response=off -T 300
http://www.baverstock.org.uk/tim/comics/cys.gif -O
/home/warwick/.gimp-2.2/tmp/gimp_temp_22994.gif

and also reported that the wget command was returning 0.

This command, when typed from the command-line works happily, returning
0.

From this, I infer that GIMP's 'Open location' menu option is broken.

Thanks,

Tim

Bug#328978: mailto: for Gnome start-up not supported

2005-09-18 Thread Tim Baverstock
Package: kmail
Version: 4:3.3.2-3
Severity: wishlist


This is a crack in the floorboards between KMail and Gnome/Galeon. It
would be nice if it could be fixed.

Galeon (Gnome) wants to start kmail up as 'kmail %s' where %s is
replaced with this sort of thing:

mailto:?Subject=Debian%20Bug%20report%20logs%3A%20package%20kmailBody=http%3A%2F%2Fbugs.debian.org%2Fcgi-bin%2Fpkgreport.cgi%3Fpkg%3Dkmail

which seems reasonable enough, given that this seems to be how many
websites use mailto: to set a subject (and perhaps a body) - is there a
standard? In particular, it uses this for its 'Send link as...' menu
item.

Perhaps kmail could accept this mailto: format somehow, maybe with a new
'--mailto %s' option.

Bug#328533: kmail: Please handle Content-Type: message/partial;

2005-09-15 Thread Tim Baverstock
Package: kmail
Version: 4:3.3.2-3
Severity: normal


I'm occasionally sent binary attachments from Microsoft Outlook that
show up as two separate emails with this header in the first:

Subject: Tidings 18Sep.doc [1/2]
Content-Type: message/partial;
  total=2;
  id=[EMAIL PROTECTED];
  number=1

and this in the second:

Subject: Tidings 18Sep.doc [2/2]
Content-Type: message/partial;
  total=2;
  id=[EMAIL PROTECTED];
  number=2

The messages just need their bodies glued together to form a standard
email with its own header.

Currently I'm handling this by closing kmail, loading inbox into vi and
editing it by hand, which isn't terribly convenient. It'd be good if
kmail could do this for me.

Cheers,

Tim

Bug#302777: /usr/bin/xscreensaver-demo: It seems to hang when it starts the preview

2005-09-11 Thread Tim Baverstock
Package: xscreensaver
Version: 4.21-3
Followup-For: Bug #302777


I get this reliably too. I also use the nvidia proprietary driver.

I set up a trivial shell loop to monitor CPU usage when the preview (I
happened to use twang) started, as well as when it ended, and it looks
to me like the process actually goes berserk at the start of the
preview, not at the end. I don't know whether that helps at all:

% while sleep 1; do date; ps -eo
etime,time,pid,user,args --sort %cpu|grep 'xscreensaver-|twang'|grep -v
reportbug; done


[[ Shortly before I start xscreensaver-demo; it starts the mini-twang,
neither are eating any significant CPU ]]

Bug#327720: xscreensaver: Run hacks by name from command-line, not by index.

2005-09-11 Thread Tim Baverstock
Package: xscreensaver
Version: 4.21-3
Severity: wishlist


It would be nice to be able to say:

 xscreensaver-command -demo carousel

instead of

 xscreensaver-command -demo 239  (or whatever number carousel is)

At the very least, have

 xscreensaver-command -list | grep carousel

show something like

 239: carousel -root -some other parameters

It seems arcane to expect someone to look up the index for a hack by
scanning the (unfriendly) .xscreensavers file, for running hacks from
the command-line, when they have perfectly good names associated with
them.

I know there's the screensaver-demo command, but I rather like the
carousel as an application in and of itself.

Cheers,

Tim Baverstock

Bug#326825: Fix for gnome-terminal.wrapper's -e breakage

2005-09-05 Thread Tim Baverstock
Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.8.2-2
Severity: important


The -e option in gnome-terminal.wrapper correctly glues @ARGV into
@args, but then incorrectly continues trying to process the arguments
it's just glued in.

The fix is to add 'last' as follows:

elsif ($opt eq '-e')
{
push(@args, '-x', @ARGV);
last;   # Add this so -e works
}

I think this may fix some of the other bugs reported, but I know it
fixes mine.

Regards,

Tim

 Well, first you did call cdrecord with a _wrong_ dev= parameter and should
 not be amazed by the results. RTFM for the correct parameters.

Not amazed, but disappointed. RTFM is all very well, but making a program 
behave helpfully in the face of improper input is matter of good taste, 
particularly if that input is subsequently processed in a relatively obscure 
way, as in the translation from /dev/cdrom to -2,-2,-2: You already warn 
about the image file being too large before trying to write it, I think.

I try to make my software give helpful messages if someone gets it wrong (so 
the program is in some senses an extension of the manual) but I also try to 
name the options in a way to avoid confusion: The parameter 'dev' is short 
for 'device' which has long meant /dev/ files on Unix, so I think the 
confusion is quite reasonable. Calling the parameter something like 
'scsiaddr=' would probably have been a better choice.

Still, it's your code, and I have to thank you for making it available, 
because when everything's right, it works well.

 Solaris is currently free of charge for any type of usage and it will be
 Open Source for everybody very soon (I already have access to the

Mm. Certainly the new kernel-level debugging facilities are very tempting, 
but I think driver support isn't quite as good. I'll think about it.

Anyway, I'd better stop hassling you. Thanks again.

Bug#299562: dev=/dev/cdrom crashed/hung X

2005-03-27 Thread Tim Baverstock
Hi.

I'm running the Debian/Woody package for both cdrecord and 2.4 
kernel-sources, so the ioctls should be compatible (even if they're 4 years 
old). So far as I know, I'm not using any GUI-based volume management (I use 
fvwm2, not Gnome or KDE) but are there any processes or kernel modules I 
should check for?

It sounds like you're saying this is a kernel bug. Perhaps you would be kind 
enough to forward the report to the kernel package team if that's the case?

As an aside, while clearly nothing should cause a kernel to crash, I would 
have expected a program that deals specifically with the SCSI interface, to 
the extent of scanning the bus, to notice that it was about to try to talk to 
an unlikely/impossible SCSI address and give a warning to the user: a message 
like 'ENOTTY: No such device' in response to 'dev=/dev/cdrom' would have been 
confusing, but something like Impossible SCSI address [-2, -2, -2] - have 
you specified dev= properly? would have been good.

I sympathise with your frustration over Linux ioctl changes. You'd suggest 
that I use Windows or Solaris instead?

Best wishes,

Tim Baverstock.

 I am sorry, but there is no relation between your problem and cdrercord.


 Your problem is either caused by an ill-designed kernel (in
 a decently designed kernel, all ioctl function codes are different
 and for this reason, sending an ioctl to an improper device
 will just cause a kernel error code of ENOTTY but no hang)

 ... or you found a bug in the volume management that is build into
 some GUIs on Linux because the Linux kernel is missing support
 for changeable volume management

   In any case: Note that you are using a 4 year old cdrecord!

 If Linux was a kernel where the authors did take care about the
 users and thus did care about stable interfaces this should be no problem.

 Unfortunately this is not true for Linux. The Linux kernel authors
 are proud of the fact that they constantly change interfaces in order
 to show you that you need the sources of your applications. You need
 to recompile them all every time you install a new kernel. Of course,
 you need to fetch the latest source before as not all interface changes are
 dealt by a recompile only.the authors of applications are forced
 tp constantly add new work arounds for the fact that Linux kernel
 interfaces are not stable.

 I saw now that you are using KDE2 and very likely an equally old Galeon.
 Maybe at that time they didn't fully implement the .desktop file

Old? Have they released a successor to Woody without telling me? Nobody ever 
tells me anything. Why do you all hate me?

Le's'ee... KDE 2.2.2 and Galeon 1.2.5 (2000-2002). The very latest!

More seriously - do those in the know tend to use testing? I'm a home user, 
so not mission-critical, although I'd be upset if all my por^H^H^Hdata was 
deleted.

 Restarting KDE or running kbuildsycoca should apply all changes made to the
 files in the mean time.

Mmm. Interesting. Doesn't seem to float that way. I moved the old Galeon 
thingy up (with my user area's copies of the Galeon.desktop at Exec=... %u), 
ran kbuildsycoca, and... still broken. Moved the new galeon\ %u one back, 
things work again. Edited the /var/lib/{kde,gnome}/.../Net/Galeon.desktop 
files to add the %u to the Exec line, re-ran kbuildsycoca, moved it back up 
again, and... no polenta. Have I erred?

 Very likely the command is missing the %u parameter which tells KDE that
 the application is able to handle URLs itself.

Hi.

Thanks for this. I ran 'locate Galeon' and found a few Galeon.desktop files:

/home/warwick/.gnome/Debian/Galeon.desktop
/home/warwick/.kde/share/applnk/Debian/Galeon.desktop
/home/warwick/.wmx/Debian/Galeon
/usr/share/oaf/GNOME_Galeon_Automation.oaf
/var/lib/gnome/Debian/Apps/Net/Galeon.desktop
/var/lib/kde/menu/Net/Galeon.desktop

I updated the Exec line for those in my home directory: 

$ cat .kde/share/applnk/Debian/Galeon.desktop 
[Desktop Entry]
Comment=Galeon
Exec=/usr/bin/galeon %u
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/galeon.xpm
InitialPreference=2
MimeType=image/png;all/x-url;application/x-url;Application
Name=Galeon
ServiceTypes=
Terminal=false
Type=Application


and restarted X (to ensure that KDEinit was dead) but no dice.

 If you created the command by using the application tree, this would
 suggest that the .desktop file installed by Galeon is broken.

I did create the association by choosing Galeon from the menu that pops up: 
Internet-Debian-Galeon.

I just tried typing /usr/bin/galeon %u in to the 'enter the name' field and 
moving that entry to the top of the list, and that now successfully launches 
Galeon with the URL, but other than the name change I can't see any real 
difference between the two files, so I don't understand why this one works 
when the other doesn't, so I'm not sure what to ask the Galeon maintainer to 
fix - can you advise?

$ cat .kde/share/applnk/galeon\ %u.desktop 
[Desktop Entry]
Comment=
Exec=/usr/bin/galeon %u
Icon=unknown
InitialPreference=4
MimeType=text/html;Application
Name=galeon %u
ServiceTypes=
Terminal=false
Type=Application

Also, is there something I should be using to edit these files, other that 
Vi? Or something I should run to say 'the files have been updated'?

Thanks,

Tim

Bug#299562: dev=/dev/cdrom crashed/hung X

2005-03-14 Thread Tim Baverstock
Package: cdrecord
Version: 4:1.10-7
Severity: normal

I tried to write a CD without reading the documentation properly, and
typed 'cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrom karan.iso'. This decided that I wanted to
use -2,-2,-2 and unsurprisingly cdrecord hung. I pressed ^C and (being
the simple soul that I am) typed the same command with the softlink
translated to /dev/sr0.

This time, X froze - even the keyboard numlock etc didn't toggle - and I
had to hard-reset the computer. (Sadly, the PDA I've used on other
occasions had broken, so I couldn't try to get in through ttyS1.)

The journalling file systems kicked in, so I don't think I've lost
anything (although they complained about some inodes), but I was a
little startled.

My cdrecord -scanbus:

Linux sg driver version: 3.1.22
Cdrecord 1.10 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 Jörg Schilling
Using libscg version 'schily-0.5'

0,3,0 3) *
0,4,0 4) *
0,5,0 5) *
0,6,0 6) *
0,7,0 7) *

I've since changed my defaults file so it knows the CD writer lives at
0,0,0 and successfully written a CD ROM.

Oh, my root cmd:

auto BOOT_IMAGE=Linux ro root=301 hdd=ide-scsi

The only slightly weird thing with my machine that comes to mind - I
have an nvidia card and use their proprietary driver. Oh, and I have a
wacom graphics tablet whose Xdriver I had to compile from (open) source.

Cheers.
