[Bug 309778] Re: KDE always associates *.jar with the zip mime type

2009-09-17 Thread James Stansell
I haven't looked at the jar spec lately, but it should be a safe
assumption that all jar files have a META-INF folder.  I don't think you
can assume a fixed location for it though.

Also, this report seems to be focused on so-called 'executable' jar
files, which have the distinction of defining a Main-Class property in
the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file.

For reference, here
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/deployment/jar/index.html is a
general overview; I'm sure there's a more technical spec available too.

[Bug 309778] Re: KDE always associates *.jar with the zip mime type

2009-09-17 Thread James Stansell
OK, the spec
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/jar/jar.html says A
JAR file is essentially a zip file that contains an optional META-INF
directory.  So the META-INF directory may not always exist.

Also, I couldn't find any mention in the spec (or other docs from sun)
of file magic for jar files.

I believe the 0xcafe magic match is really for java class files.  Most
interesting jar files (especially executable jars) will have at least
one class file, but once again I don't think any particular location in
the file can be assumed.

[Bug 173966] Re: java plugin not working in firefox 3 on ubuntu 8.04

2008-07-10 Thread James Stansell
Alfas, the only java plugin available for 64-bit systems is icedtea-
gcjwebplugin.  Some applets work, but it's not surprising if the ones
you are interested in don't work.

The only option currently available, as far as I know, is to run a
hybrid 32bit system.  I haven't done that myself, but the 64-bit users
forum at ubuntuforums.org would be a good place to start.

[Bug 84501] Re: Java6 Web Start just opens the Java control panel instead of running the application

2008-03-28 Thread James Stansell
If you install openjdk-6 (6b08-0ubuntu1) in hardy (and possibly icedtea-
gcjwebplugin) and use it instead of the sun-java6 is the problem fixed?
Recent updates in the openjdk package include:

  * Install a wrapper script for javaws, which calls `javaws -viewer' if no
arguments are given (or else starting javaws from the desktop menu
would not do anything).
  * debian/JB-web-start.applications.in: Remove the -viewer option from command.

It sounds like those address this bug, but in the open-source openjdk-6
package instead of the proprietary sun-java6 package.  Getting Sun to
update sun-java6 can be problematic, but it should be helpful if we can
confirm that the problem was fixed in openjdk.

-james.

[Bug 114963] Re: key ring dialog is not modal

2007-07-14 Thread James Stansell
I can confirm this bug (Ubuntu 7.04).  Even though it doesn't normally
put my password in full view my typing is likely to go where it's not
intended which is bad in several ways.  I would expect this dialog to
grab the keyboard so the typing doesn't go anywhere else (either
maliciously or accidentally.)  I'm not sure if modal covers that but
modal would be an improvement.

The program in question appears to be /usr/lib/gnome-keyring/gnome-
keyring-ask


** Changed in: gnome-keyring (Ubuntu)
   Status: New = Confirmed

[Bug 49522] Re: Can't play free format MP3

2006-08-18 Thread James Stansell
I'm using 6.06.1 and that file will play (sounds like some guitar
plucking) in VLC and Audacity, but gstreamer-based programs won't play
it at all.

[Bug 35112] Re: MP3 track times are incorrect

2006-08-17 Thread James Stansell
I'm seeing this bug with 6.06.1 LTS.  Track times are incorrect in
Rhythmbox, Serpentine and Cowbell.  The first 2 showed exactly the same
way off duration, but Cowbell was only a little off.

Track times for Banshee, VLC, Totem and Nautilus properties seem fine.

(The command I used was audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame
name=enc vbr=4 vbr-quality=2 ! xingmux ! id3v2mux)

So I'd say it worked but Rhythmbox, Serpentine and Cowbell aren't using
the xing headers correctly.

[Bug 6735] abiword fails to print landscape

2006-01-15 Thread James Stansell
Public bug reported:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/6735

Affects: abiword (Ubuntu)
   Severity: Normal
   Priority: (none set)
 Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
1. start a blank abiword document
2. file - page setup; landscape; ok
3. create a simple document with wide lines
4. file - print preview : displays a landscape box with text oriented 90 
degrees so long lines run past page margin
5. file - print; Create PDF document; Print : creates a portrait PDF with long 
lines truncated

This is on breezy: abiword AbiWord 2.4.1 (abiword-gnome 2.4.1-1ubuntu1)

I believe step 4 above can be omitted without changing the results.
Print preview from the print dialog has the same problem.
