Please describe a simple scenario where changing default fonts is
helpful.  I do not understand why you discussed those UTF-8 issues,
they does not seem related to the problems you want to solve.

Please discuss.  It is you who avoid discussion.
How do you think about the concept of locale?  Please discuss
with the technical points.  Why do you avoid concrete discussion?

It is easy.  Please explain why my idea is inferior than yours
rationally.  If you really think so, you can do it.  Can't you?

Please explain why requiring editing app-defaults is better than
automatic locale detection, why uxterm approach is better than
locale, and so on.  If you have a good reason which I didn't think
about, I will agree with closing this bug.

Well, what is your intention you explained xterm's "historical
development"?  I felt that you wanted to explain the reason why
xterm must not support multibyte encodings (because VT100 and so
on doesn't support it).  Am I right?  Then, from the exactly same
reason, you must remove features which VT100 and so on doesn't have
and xterm has.  Of course I don't agree such an explanation and
I don't think you must remove such features.

I don't know Eduard Bloch.

> This bug will be fixed when upstream fixes it, or when a patch that
> upstream is comfortable with is submitted.

Please discuss on the concrete problems, though I am now discussing
with the upstream.  Anyway, the patch is completely different from
the patch I sent to the upstream.  How many times should I say this?


> Tagging "wontfix".

It is acceptable because there are chance for discussion or we
can refer the bug, but don't close.  We must not hide problems.

Fix xdm to handle case where alternative X display managers do not provide

that the package name of the display manager is also the name of the
daemon executable, and try to find it with the "which" command.  If that
fails as well, warn the user that we were unable to update the default X

No, I'm aware of it, but it's difficult to implement.

That's complicated to implement with current debconf technology.

I don't see what the harm is in letting people try as many times as they
want.

Yes, I've written one and it's been committed to the X Strike Force
XFree86 SVN repository in revision 701.  That issue will be fixed in the
next release.

As it's the only issue you raised which I consider a flaw, I'm
downgrading the severity of this bug and narrowing its scope.

Log:
Fix migration of configuration files from "debconf-managed" to
conffile-style management, in that the Xwrapper.config and XF86Config-4
files were marked as locally changed even if there were no changes outside
the "debconf markers".  Detect this case by searching for lines outside
that range which contain anything other than whitespace or comments, and

You are presenting me with an ultimatum: accept your patch or else.  You
do not appear to feel there are any grounds upon which you will change
your mind.  This is not a sound basis for a rational discussion.
Neither are your assertions that I "must" remove features from XTerm
simple because I have made observations about its historical
development.  You'd get along famously with Eduard Bloch, who argues the
same way.

This bug will be fixed when upstream fixes it, or when a patch that
upstream is comfortable with is submitted.

Tagging "wontfix".

Some patches for XFree86/experimental [2nd try]

2003-10-22 Thread Vince

Hello,

I just installed the exec-shield kernel patch on my computer, and it
turns out that XFree86 on Debian refuses to work without some fixes.
Attached are 5 patches - 4 of them shamelessly extracted from Redhat 
rawhide source package - against XFree4.3 in experimental (snapshot from
http://necrotic.deadbeast.net/xfree86/branches-4.3.0-sid-debian-2003.10.22.tar.gz) 


fixing various issues:

* 912_elfloader_linux_non_exec_stack_v2.diff :
This patch comes from the Redhat rawhide 4.3.0.40 source package
(Redhat patch 9105). Original description : patch ELF loader to allow X 
to work on kernels with a non executable stack.


* 913_patch_compile_kernel_26.diff :
Simple patch to allow compilation with 2.6 kernel includes (found at 
http://www.mail-archive.com/xfree86@xfree86.org/msg08195.html).


* 914_redhat_libgl_opt_v2.diff,
915_redhat_libgl_tls_buildfix.diff,
916_redhat_libgl_exec_shield_fixes_v2.diff :
Patches from Redhat (number 10009, 10010 and 10012) to fix libGL with
exec-shield. I was interested only in the last one but it looks like it 
depends at least from the first one...


Please note that patches 914 and 916 require backing out
062_make_libGL_PIC_compliant.diff and that I have not tested them,
except for the fact that they apply and compile fine (I'm not using any 
GL app).


Patches 912 & 913 were compile and run-time tested by me. Both look
fairly simple and unintrusive (in contrary to 914 and 916). Thus I'd
like to know if it would be possible to have at least patches 912 and
913 applied to the packages in experimental ?

With best regards,

Vincent

Hi,

I reopened this bug, because:
 - I don't think the discussion finished.
 - This bug is in the to-do list in the upstream.

Please don't close this bug (the upstream agrees this should be

I don't feel this is a serious discussion.

If you really think so, many features must be removed from xterm.
For example, xterm has been supporting UTF-8 (and therefor a multibyte
software) for a long time since XFree86 4.0.  Please remove the feature
(and many features which VT100 and so on don't have), if you really
think so.

Right, from technical point of view, it is a wrapper.  However,
from the users' point of view who never do "cat xterm", it is a fork.
Evil fork, just like preparing another executable for Japanese support
even when unfication is possible.

My patch renders uxterm obsolete.  However, uxterm is an always-UTF-8
version of xterm regardless of locale, xterm cannot emulate uxterm.
On the other hand, xterm is a terminal emulator which don't fully
support locale yet and should be improved.

Are you using a UTF-8 locale?  Then, besides uxterm, xterm should
be in UTF-8 mode, while the font is ISO-8859-1.  This conflict
will be fixed by my patch.

My intension is that many softwares are coming to support locale
and don't supply different executables for different encodings.
It is the way we should proceed.  Your rebuttal softwares should
be considered that they don't support locale yet or they are to
be replaced by internationalized softwares in future.

I don't understand the meaning.

Please be calm.

Since uxterm was introduced into XFree86, it must not be removed.
uxterm must be an UTF-8 software regardless of locale, because it
was intended as such, even if the intension is based on wrong idea.

On app-defaults files: why peoples speaking some languages are
forced to modify app-default files while others don't need to do?
Generally, priviledged people say that there are no discrimination.
If there were some technical difficulties, it might be acceptable.
Also, your idea is against the concept of locale mechanism (no need
for users to configure other than LANG variable) which I explained
many times.  Didn't you read?

Now I started this.  Dickey said that my patch (you and I thought
was rejected) is "still on my to-do list" and he is "interested in
getting the idea implemented".  He is seeking a better implementation
to achieve the same thing.  Of course I don't cite his whole mail
and may have a bias.  Please ask him by yourself if you don't trust
my citation.

Bug#202128: DONATION FOR THE LORD.

2003-10-22 Thread Mrs Serena Jones
From: Mrs Serena Jones

PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USED IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married
to Dr. Harry Jones who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Co
ast for nine years before he died in the year
2000.
We were married for eleven years without a child. He died a
fter a brief illness that lasted for only
four days. Before his death we were both born again Christia
ns.Since his death I decided not to re-
marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bi
ble is against.When my late husband was alive he deposited the
sum of$8.6Million (Eight Million six hundred thousand U.S. D
ollars) with one finance/security company in Amsterderm Hollan
d. Presently, this money is still with the Security Company.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next
three
months due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most i
s my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to
donate this fund to church or better still a christian individ
ual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruc
t here in. I want a church that will use this fund to fund chu
rches, orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and t
o ensure that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made
us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth.
I took this decision because I don?t have any child that wil
l inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christi
ans and I don?t want my husband?s hard earned money to be misu
sed by unbelievers. I don?t want a situation where this money
will be used in an ungodly manner. Hence the reason for taking
this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know whe
re I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of th
e Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case
and I shall hold my peace. I don?t need any telephone communi
cation in this regard because of my health because of the pres
ence of my husband?s relatives around me always. I don?t want
them to know about this development. With God all things are p
ossible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the
contact of the Finance/Security Company in Amsterderm Holland
. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove
you as the original-
beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always
pray for me because the lord is my shephard. My
happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoe
ver that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and
truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any d
elay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a chuch
or christian individual for this same purpose. Please assure
me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping
to hearing from you.

N.B-
PLEASE I WILL ADVICE YOU TO GIVE THE LAWYER IN CHARGE A CALL IN HOLLAND IMMEDIATELY, 
HE DOES EVERYTHING ON MY BEHALF AND HE'S VERY UNDERSTANDING AND I BELIEVE HE WILL LEAD 
YOU TO YOUR SUCCESS IN JESUS NAME, THE LAWYER'S NAME IS GERRY SLY HIS CONTACT PHONE

When people file bug reports, they commonly only have their own
experiences to work from.  If you guys do not want us to file
grave reports, perhaps you should remove that choice from what
reportbug gives us.  Looking at the descriptions of the various
levels provided, grave seemed the most appropriate.

If I felt I no longer had a problem, I wouldn't have filed a bug
report.  The steps I went through were not things that I thought
most people would use in trying to track down a problem.

This whole episode has been plagued by a lack of any kind of
output.  It was reverted shortly after.  I was just documenting
how I was trying to go through what output I could find, in order
to try and figure out what the problem was.

Shooting in the dark.  I was getting messages in log files and
.xsession-errors files, having to do with what looked like XFree86
misconfiguration.  How is trying to correct this misconfiguration
shooting in the dark?

Who knows?  I am certainly not happy with how I "solved" (hacked
would be a better description) the problem.  If I knew what was
wrong in the first place, I probably could have done a better job
in trying to track down what to change/fix.  But nothing shows up
in the logs or on stderr.

Fine.  How does a python script get run when I dpkg-reconfigure

Do you have re-run fc-cache ? FYI the latest libfreetype6 was broken
(See the BTS for fontconfig bugs) and fonts caches was not generated
correctly.

+Errors about "failure to initialize core devices" are usually fatal.  Errors
+about failing to open "/dev/input/mice" usually aren't if they're not
+accompanied by a "failure to initialize core devices" message.
+
+If you have non-USB mouse configured, the Debian default XFree86 X server

Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.2.1-12.1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I am not exactly sure where the problem lies on this one.  I normally
just upgrade a package or two as need be.  I had just upgraded a bunch
of KDE stuff, and so closed all X sessions and then let apt-get
install everything.  After apt-get was finished, gdm could not start
the login session for a user which had KDE (Debian) as the session
manager.  Since then, every attempt to start X has failed.

[Update, I have now gotten X to run from kdm (gdm still dies).
 Tale of the story below.  I don't know if you want to adjust
 the severity level as things now run, but without reconfiguring
 X and switching from gdm to kdm I would still not be running.
 Whatever the problem is, mozilla/galeon is now broken. ]

The first possibility I looked at, was that the last error showing in
the logs or ~/.xsession-errors dealt with /dev/input/mice.  Since I
don't have a USB mouse, I first tried creating /dev/input and making
mice a symlink to /dev/ttyS0 (I should have used /dev/psaux in after
thought).  There were also messages about some missing symbols in 
libGLcore.a and libspeedo.a.  X still wouldn't start.  I then edited
~/.gnome2/gdm so that it wouldn't use "Debian" (KDE) as the window
manager.  This didn't help.  I then started editing
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 (as you can see below).  I started by editing out
the font path to speedo, and the modules load stuff for speedo and
GLcore.  Trying to startx again, I got another error which led me to
trying to also comment out glx, leaving me at the config you see
below.  This still doesn't work.

I have known for a while, that the management of the configuration
for X has changed in Debian (to what it has now).  I don't remember
as to whether there were any minor problems in the transition. After
the first edit to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, I followed the instructions
at the top of the file vis a vis saving a custom configuration.
I am getting a DeprecationWarning about xreadlines when I do this
(dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86) followed by a configlet in path
is bad. (I wonder where debconf got a screen size of 17"?  This monitor
is 21", and has always been here.)

Other people in my lug have suggested things.  Some kind of problem with
libfreetype6 conflicting with gsfonts-other.  I've looked in bug reports
for xserver-xfree86, libfreetype6, gsfonts-other and see nothing which
really looks similar to this problem, with a recent time frame.  Well,
there is one report, which was closed because a virus was found in a
followup message?

I'll try reconfiguring all of X (xserver-xfree86) with xf86cfg and then
purging gsfonts-other, and after that installing older versions of
xserver-xfree86.  If you have suggestions as to how to trace things
(as I am not receiving error messages now, but it still won't start)
or where the problem lies, I'ld be happy to hear them.

Running xf86cfg (after moving /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 aside), I went
through the configuration process, setting values to what they should be
for keyboard, mouse, card and monitor.  When I go to save things, it
asks if I

Package: xterm
Version: 4.3.0-0pre1v3
Tags: experimental,patch

XFree86 4.3.0's xterm has a feature to use UTF-8 mode and "luit"
automatically so that xterm will use the character encoding of
the current locale.  For example, by using this feature, German
people will be able to use Euro sign without any special settings
for xterm.  (Of course LANG variable must be set - but it is not
xterm-specific setting and is needed for all softwares anyway).
Of course, it is not limited to German - "luit" supports various
encodings including ISO-8859 encodings, KOI8 encodings, and some
Asian encodings.

However, this feature is not perfectly implemented and many people
are left not knowing this feature.  Moreover, some people suffer
from "mojibake" problem.

At first, font setting is not proper.  Since this feature is
implemented using UTF-8 mode, *-iso10646-1 fonts must be used.
However, the default font of xterm is *-iso8859-1.  Thus, the
default font should be *-iso10646-1.  I attached a patch for
/etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm to modify font settings.  This is
not harmful for ISO-8859-1 people because U+ - U+00FF range
of Unicode is exactly same as ISO-8859-1.  In Debian system,
this modification has one more merit that non-ISO-8859-1 people
won't need to install xfonts-base-transcoded (for xterm).

Next, this feature is enabled only for east Asian locales and
Thai.  Thus, other non-ISO-8859-1 people are left not knowing
this feature.  To solve this problem, my patch adds
"*VT100*locale: true" line for /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm file.



This patch is not for UXTerm.  It is xterm that automatically
follows the current locale and needs *-iso10646-1 fonts.

See http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/mojibake/xterm.html
for screenshots.

It looks like the stock sample xinitrc that ships with XFree86.

Perhaps at some point you installed XFree86 from the upstream source or
binary distribution.

Say what?

Why is the source file
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/i810/i830_driver.c being dealt
with at all when NOT_BUILDING_X_SERVER is defined?

(Oh, I get it.  You're using NOT_BUILDING_X_SERVER prescriptively, by
defining it when you run debian/rules or something similar, not
descriptively.  I'm not sure that's a good idea.  If I'd meant
NOT_BUILDING_X_SERVER to be used prescriptively, I'd have called it
DO_NOT_BUILD_X_SERVER.)

Can you please post the build failure to the list?

Either way, we need to come up with a better commit log and changelog
entry.  Your description of the error is not meaningful in the context
of the XFree86 build itself.

In the future you won't get even that if you don't improve your
attitude.

Why, surely you're right, which explains the utter absence of credit and
gratitude extended to other people in my changelog for authoring fixes.

Indeed, the string "thanks" appears not even once.

% zgrep -ci thanks /usr/share/doc/xfree86-common/changelog.Debian.{,old.}gz
/usr/share/doc/xfree86-common/changelog.Debian.gz:184

Well, the assertion is true in Eduard Bloch's delusional, solipsistic
universe, at any rate.

xfree86 override disparity

2003-10-22 Thread Debian Installer
There are disparities between your recently accepted upload and the
override file for the following file(s):

xlibs-pic_4.3.0-0pre1v4_all.deb: package says section is oldlibs, override says 
libdevel.
xlibs-pic_4.3.0-0pre1v4_all.deb: package says priority is extra, override says 
optional.

Either the package or the override file is incorrect.  If you think
the override is correct and the package wrong please fix the package
so that this disparity is fixed in the next upload.  If you feel the
override is incorrect then please reply to this mail and explain why.

Re: Some patches for XFree86/experimental

2003-10-22 Thread Vince
I apologize : I just realized that I have sent the wrong (uncompressed) 
versions for patches 914 and 915 and 914 is around 400KB. :-(
Please let me know if by luck my previous mail was blocked by the 
list-manager and I'll resent a compressed version.

V.

I wrote:
Hello,

I just installed the exec-shield kernel patch on my computer, and it 
turns out that XFree86 on Debian refuses to work without some fixes.
Attached are 4 patches against XFree4.3 in experimental (snapshot from 
http://necrotic.deadbeast.net/xfree86/branches-4.3.0-sid-debian-2003.10.21.tar.gz) 
fixing various issues:

* 912_elfloader_linux_non_exec_stack_v2.diff :
This patch comes from the Redhat rawhide 4.3.0.40 source package
(original name: XFree86-4.3.0-elfloader-linux-non-exec-stack-v2.patch).
It fixes the xfree86 loader on linux to work with a non-exec stack 
(exec-shield kernel patch).

* 913_patch_compile_kernel_26.diff :
Simple patch to allow compilation with 2.6 kernel includes (found using 
google).

* 914_redhat_libGL_opt_v2.diff & 915_redhat_libGL_exec_shield_fixes_v2.diff
Patches from Redhat (XFree86-4.3.0-redhat-libGL-opt-v2.patch and 
XFree86-4.3.0-redhat-libGL-exec-shield-fixes-v2.patch) to fix libGL with 
exec-shield. It looks like the second one depends from the first one, 
that's why I had to include it...

Please note that patches 914 and 915 require backing out 
062_make_libGL_PIC_compliant.diff and that I have not tested them, 
except for the fact that they apply fine (I don't use any GL app).

Patches 912 & 913 were compile and run-time tested by me. Both look 
fairly simple and unintrusive (in contrary to 914 and 915). Thus I'd 
like to know if it would be possible to have at least patches 912 and 
913 applied to the packages in experimental ?

With best regards,

Vincent

Bug#217068: xserver-xfree86: X won't run, unknown reason

2003-10-22 Thread Gordon Haverland
Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.2.1-12.1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I am not exactly sure where the problem lies on this one.  I normally
just upgrade a package or two as need be.  I had just upgraded a bunch
of KDE stuff, and so closed all X sessions and then let apt-get
install everything.  After apt-get was finished, gdm could not start
the login session for a user which had KDE (Debian) as the session
manager.  Since then, every attempt to start X has failed.

[Update, I have now gotten X to run from kdm (gdm still dies).
 Tale of the story below.  I don't know if you want to adjust
 the severity level as things now run, but without reconfiguring
 X and switching from gdm to kdm I would still not be running.
 Whatever the problem is, mozilla/galeon is now broken. ]

The first possibility I looked at, was that the last error showing in
the logs or ~/.xsession-errors dealt with /dev/input/mice.  Since I
don't have a USB mouse, I first tried creating /dev/input and making
mice a symlink to /dev/ttyS0 (I should have used /dev/psaux in after
thought).  There were also messages about some missing symbols in 
libGLcore.a and libspeedo.a.  X still wouldn't start.  I then edited
~/.gnome2/gdm so that it wouldn't use "Debian" (KDE) as the window
manager.  This didn't help.  I then started editing
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 (as you can see below).  I started by editing out
the font path to speedo, and the modules load stuff for speedo and
GLcore.  Trying to startx again, I got another error which led me to
trying to also comment out glx, leaving me at the config you see
below.  This still doesn't work.

I have known for a while, that the management of the configuration
for X has changed in Debian (to what it has now).  I don't remember
as to whether there were any minor problems in the transition. After
the first edit to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, I followed the instructions
at the top of the file vis a vis saving a custom configuration.
I am getting a DeprecationWarning about xreadlines when I do this
(dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86) followed by a configlet in path
is bad. (I wonder where debconf got a screen size of 17"?  This monitor
is 21", and has always been here.)

Other people in my lug have suggested things.  Some kind of problem with
libfreetype6 conflicting with gsfonts-other.  I've looked in bug reports
for xserver-xfree86, libfreetype6, gsfonts-other and see nothing which
really looks similar to this problem, with a recent time frame.  Well,
there is one report, which was closed because a virus was found in a
followup message?

I'll try reconfiguring all of X (xserver-xfree86) with xf86cfg and then
purging gsfonts-other, and after that installing older versions of
xserver-xfree86.  If you have suggestions as to how to trace things
(as I am not receiving error messages now, but it still won't start)
or where the problem lies, I'ld be happy to hear them.

Running xf86cfg (after moving /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 aside), I went
through the configuration process, setting values to what they should be
for keyboard, mouse, card and monitor.  When I go to save things, it
asks if I want to write /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config.  I can't say I've
seen that location for a X config file before.  :-)  Okay, change it
to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.  Now it wants to write a keyboard config
file to lib/X11/xkb/X0-config.keyboard.  No idea what the leading
directory is, and my system never had a X0-config.keyboard file before.
/etc/X11/xkb doesn't contain any files like this, nor does it seem
to be the place to put this.  And there is no /etc/X11/lib.  Since
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb seems to be a symlink to /etc/X11/xkb, I guess
I can let it write this file and see if PWD is pointing to /usr/X11R6.

If I run X -probeonly after reconfiguring with xf86cfg, I again get
these symbol errors:
Skipping "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a:debug_xform.o":
 No symbols found
Skipping "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/libspeedo.a:spencode.o":
 No symbols found
Other than those 2 Skipping ... messages, everything in
/var/log/XFree86.0.log looks normal.  startx succesfully starts X,
gdm still won't start X (tries 4 times and quits).  Nothing strange
(besides the Skipping ... messages) in XFree86.0.log or gdm/:0.log.
Editing /etc/init.d/kdm to change the HEED_DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER
to false, I find that kdm will work, and both X and KDE seem to start
okay.

Searching the net, I could not find a program to do so. But I found 
evidence that other people where looking for the same functionnality. 
It is possible but very slow to use a shell loop to do so. I could 
whip a small patch to enable this feature. I you are interested, I 
maybe could update the man page. 

The new option are :
-n number of snapshots (defaults to 1) 
-w number of microseconds to wait between snapshots
-out file is now mandatory if more than one snapshots are to be taken. 
It is then prefixed with the image number.

Be indulgent with my code, I haven't coded in C for ages.
I could be more efficient, but I went for the simple approach.

Hoping to be helpful,
Bernard

Nope, that looks different.

I have the Andale Mono font installed...

Ok, I'll attach a screenshot now, to clarify this.

The attached screenshot was taken from a line of
/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -fa "andale mono" -fs 10

The displayed font is in no way Andale Mono (the digit '0' in Andale
Mono has a small dot in the middle). I have to clarify that the
horizontal spacing seems to be correct, but the vertical spacing seems
to be too large in comparison to the letters. In this way I need to
give "-fs 10" in order to get the same amount of lines into an xterm
with the same physical geometry and the
'-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1' font.

Kind regards
 Friedel

Okay, that is the answer I wished to see. Nothing more, nothing less.
