[Bug 1764091] Re: gjs-console crashed with SIGSEGV in JS_GetContextPrivate()

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1751194

This bug is said to be a duplicate of 1751194 which seems to be non
existing or private (?). The result is that when gjs-console crashes, I
get other crashes proposed, but never "in JS_GetContextPrivate()", so
that I have the choice of not reporting the bug, or creating a new bug
each time… then declared duplicate. I want to be helpful but I do not
know how.

[Bug 221112]

2014-05-06 Thread Dominique Meeùs
(In reply to comment #69)
…
  Regarding the voting, is there generic popular Linux-oriented site in
  France? Like slashdot.org or smth...
 
 There is a popular  Linux-oriented site in France (linuxfr.org) and the
 final ajustments of this layout were done after discussion on this site.
 
 I realise there is a vocal minority that does not like some of those choices

A site like linuxfr.org may well be a vocal minority in itself. Nothing proves 
that linuxfr.org is representative of ordinary users. And even on linuxfr.org I 
have seen posts saying where is my CRTL-R gone? or my keyboard is broken 
since some new version of Ubuntu.
In a way, suppressing one of the customary CTRL keys is intrinsically a 
minority point of view.
[Furthermore, the French layout for the Belgian keyboard depends on the French 
layout for the French keyboard. I do not see why a discussion on linuxfr.org 
should decide that Belgians have no use of right CTRL.]

 but
 1. the other alternatives used in the ancestors of this layout generated a
 lot more hate mail

I doubt having a right CTRL key ever generated hate mail. That hate mail
was about other questions.

 2. because I knew there was no choice everyone would like spacebar layout is
 modular (and I'm the person who modularized it as part of the creation of
 this layout). People can choose the previous behaviour if they want and a
 few other possibilities were added as part of the modularization

We are not here discussing space bar, but right CTRL. Is right CTRL
modular? Is there an option easily accessible to the ordinary user to
restore right CTRL?

 3. so far no one proposed any better option appart from removing symbols
 which are necessary to write proper French (arguably proper French is not
 the same as C code). It's a lot easier to clamor for removal of the bits you
 do not use than to try to design a general-purpose solution without cutting
 corners

The clamor is not against proper French of for removal of anything. 
Furthermore, how could an ordinary user try to design a solution? The user 
wants a common PC keyboard with CTRL keys, without having to write the code 
himself. The clamor is: do what you can to allow writing proper French —and 
thank you for your trying to do it— but leave the right CTRL.
---
If no agreement can be reached, would it be possible to have the old layout 
accessible, even under another name? I do not know how many variants are 
allowed, by design, or by freedesktop conventions. Of course a new variant 
would be useless if it didn’t appear in the choices offered to an ordinary user 
by the most popular GNU Linux distributions.

[Bug 221112]

2014-04-19 Thread Dominique Meeùs
I feel extremely uneasy because I am a user of free software and I am
full of respect and gratitude for the people who make this possible,
including of course Nicolas Mailhot. I am an amateur and I am conscious
that I rely entirely on the work of devoted paid and unpaid
professionals.

But in this case, I must crudely say, because it was hinted that we
should have a vote: the vote already happened, here in Bugzilla, and in
Launchpad, and elsewhere in many forums. The result obviously is:
Nicolas Mailhot against the rest of the world.

I think the rest of the world constitutes a majority compared to Nicolas
Mailhot alone. Therefore one should immediately revert to the last good
version with two Control keys.

[Bug 221112]

2014-03-13 Thread Dominique Meeùs
More arguments in favor of reverting to an normal behaviour of Ctrl-R:
-- Most computers in most operating systems, languages (including French until 
recently), desktops... have two identical Ctrl keys. It is queer to have French 
keyboards doing otherwise since a few years.
-- Like having two Shift keys, two Ctrl keys are better for easy fast typing.

By the way, breaking the French keyboard breaks the Belgian keyboard
too.

dbus-x11 was the solution.)

 Can you try with the development version of Ubuntu, Hardy Heron?
   

I love seeing new improvements appear, and play with them, but I also 
like to do more serious things with my computer. A computer (with its OS 
and applications as a whole) is (1) a tool (2) for doing something. You 
have to keep the balance between hacking your tool for the pleasure of 
hacking (I am more an end user than a hacker, even if I love it); and 
the pleasure to use this tool for something else more important. Thus, 
as a rule, I refrain (with difficulty) from installing versions before 
they are considered stable (you know the phrase this beta is not 
recommended for production systems).

I could install the beta of 8.04 on another partition, but if I use 7.10 
and 8.04beta with the same /home, I could have problems with my 
configuration files in /home (mixture of options relating to 7.10 and 
8.4) and this would not be an interesting testbed for 8.04. There are 
only a very few more weeks to wait for the real 8.4.

 Thanks […]

[Bug 165260] second X server takes ages

2007-11-26 Thread Dominique Meeùs
Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 7.10 (new install 17-10-2007)
I am using 
[servers]
0=Standard
1=Standard
in gdm.conf (now gdm.conf-custom) for years without problems. I use this in 
combination with 
[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=[myownloginname]
This was also the case with 7.10 until recently. Normally, I see server 0 
starting on vt7 and then server 1 on vt9, that remains active for me to log a 
guest, or go Ctrl+Alt+F7 find my own session open on vt7. 
Since a few days (?) it happens (in about half of boot tentatives) that I get 
only server 0 on vt7. Vt9 remains black and accepts Alt+F7 (not only 
Ctrl+Alt+F7). Server 1 then ultimately starts with gdm login prompt about 1 
hour (!) later. But half of the time also, everything goes normally.
I am not aware of having changed anything myself but I accept all proposed 
upgrades and I see 2007-11-17 20:15:41 upgrade gdm 2.20.0-0ubuntu6 
2.20.1-0ubuntu1 in dpkg.log.

 How to change association of a file type with a default (or other)

 What is the use of a such comment? That's a wrong statement. What do you
 expect to win from it? Conflict with people who might help you to fix
 your issue?
   

I am really sorry. I was hoping options in the open with dialog. Then 
I searched for a configuration file. To that point my search was 
unsuccesful and I felt the need to stress that the bug was rather 
serious for the users. (My aim was not to fix /my/ issue but maybe a 
/general/ issue.) I did not mean to attack anybody but I must admit that 
my style was quite inappropriate.

I felt still more sorry for having written this when somebody pointed 
out to me, afterwards, that it was very easy to change file associations 
through file properties. (I didn't look there at first, thinking: file 
properties is about /one/ file at a time, like permissions, my problem 
is about a /type/ of file.)

 (In Gnome also, menu Applications/Bureautique/OpenOffice.org2 writer
 is proposed as first but does not function. But OpenOffice.org word
 processor does.)
 
 The issue is noticable on your box because you probably have a
 ooo2-writer.desktop somewhere. Does locate ooo2-writer.desktop lists
 something?
   
I did updatedb just now and found (sudo root) no ooo2-writer.desktop in 
my box. My only ooo2*.desktop systemwide is 
.local/share/applications/ooo2-calc-usercustom.desktop. I do not 
remember having deleted the ooo2*.desktop while trying to solve the 
problem but I cannot be 100 % sure. Next time I'll write down 
immediately what I do :-)

That's the point: ooo2 doesn't exist in Dapper but it appears above 
others in the Applications menu and it is the default application for 
ooo documents in Nautilus.

After some research with Google, I found that the buggy 
/etc/gnome/defaults.list alias /usr/share/applications/defaults.list is 
the cause of the Nautilus bug. I could not find yet the buggy 
configuration file responsible for the menu bug but I corrected it 
through alacarte (after correcting first the smeg bug in the menus!).

These bugs reveal a feature problem (in Gnome? Ubuntu?): these questions 
are poorly documented for the average user and there is no open with 
editor or dialog at hand. If the configuration files received with the 
distribution are buggy (as is the case with Dapper), there is little an 
average user can do (except light a candle :-).

[Bug 49413] menu calls smeg which doesn't exist anymore (alacarte)

2006-06-11 Thread Dominique Meeùs
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-menus

In my new Dapper installation in French, when I choose Applications/Outils 
système/Éditeur de menu Gnome (menu editor, as you may guess even if you don't 
speak French), I get an error message that smeg doesn't exist. Indeed, it is no 
more to be found at all in the Dapper distribution but was replaced by 
alacarte. Alacarte virtually provides smeg but not its name. (I did not upgrade 
from Breezy, I did a new installation. But I DID keep my /home partition and 
did mount it as the new /home in Dapper. Is this the reason?)
Having a menu error in the very Menu editor is annoying! Still, it is possible 
to launch alacarte from a terminal to correct the menu by replacing the smeg 
command by alacarte. Another way round would be to place a link to alacarte 
named smeg in /usr/bin, I suppose.
