[Bug 27143] gnome-settings-daemon crashes with evdev
Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/27143 Comment: It should be known that I am a noob when it comes to ubuntu linux and how deb packages work. I may have done something wrong. But in an attempt to fix it, that is to downgrade as you suggested I removed the gnome-control-center-dbg_2.14.0-0ubuntu2_i386.deb package, and I believe that it's this package that gave the dep problems. I now did a sudo apt-get -f install, and the suggested fix seemed much less dangerous (ie not removing a buch of gnome stuff) -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/27143 Comment: I installed the i386 on my dapper, and got some dep errors (I tried both packages, but the complain was I had som newer versions installed of some packages). Now the Synaptic package manager complain of a broken package gnome-control-center. It says I have to run sudo apt-get install -f This gives me the following (thus I aborted it): The following extra packages will be installed: libpango1.0-0 libpango1.0-common Suggested packages: ttf-thryomanes The following packages will be REMOVED: compiz-gnome gnome-applets gnome-control-center gnome-control-center-dbg gnome-panel gnome-session gnome-terminal nautilus The following packages will be upgraded: libpango1.0-0 libpango1.0-common -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/27143 Comment: Okay. I expected problems as I could not test i386 packages. You might want to downgrade gnome-control-center to the ubuntu1 version. I will try to test those packages one way or the other. In the meantime: Don't use the i386 package please. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/27143 Comment: I've built both i386 and AMD64 .deb packages of gnome-control-center. (I can't the test i386 version) They are are: http://neutronic.mine.nu/dapper You can download them directly or add: deb http://neutronic.mine.nu/ dapper/ to your /etc/apt/sources.list I also have incremented the Ubuntu version to 2 so the installed package will not get overriden at each dist-upgrade if is no update to that particular package. I wonder why I didn't think of that earlier. Of course it's for people convenience only, at your own risk, might break everything, and so on. I don't provide support for the package but it is the same as the Ubuntu package with the evdev patch applied so it's not much risk. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/27143 Comment: It's a pretty critical thing as it blocks anyone from using more than a few buttons(?) on their mouse, so of course one is concerned if there is any work being done? I just tried the patch on the Gnome bugzilla and it worked perfectly on a recent Dapper, applied against Gnome CVS. Here are (somewhat loose) instructions for anyone wanting to try the patch themselves. It includes downloading the relevant parts from Gnome CVS and installing lots of dependencies most likely, as well as build tools, so it takes some work. --- How to test the patch for yourself: Open a terminal and follow along, and line starting with $ is a commandline. $ cd /tmp $ cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/gnome -z3 co gnome-control-center $ cd gnome-control-center $ ./autogen.sh Fix any problems here, I had no autoconf1.9 for instance. Install with apt-get/aptitude/synaptic If needed after autogen.sh: $ ./configure and correct any dependencies until it's satisfied. Lots of hunting for matching *-dev in apt. $ make Here I had to get the gstreamer 0.10 dev-packages, including for plugins, and then run make again, configure missed those. If you come to the point where it all succeeds, now try : $ gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon And it should fail as usual - warning, this also hangs Firefox for me. Now we try the patch: Download http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=57319 and save as gnome-settings-daemon.patch in the working directory: $ patch -p0 gnome-settings-daemon.patch $ make $ gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon And now it should work, if the patch works for you. Now you can hit CTRL-Z and type 'bg' if you want to free up the terminal and keep the daemon running in the background. - I haven't tried installing it to the system yet, not sure if I will. I'd rather have it fixed centrally. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/27143 Comment: There is a more Debian friendly way to use the patch. It applies fine on control-center source package. I think it is simpler than using the GNOME CVS. What is inconvenient is that you will need to reinstall the built package after each dist-upgrade since apt will want to replace it (I guess I could pin the version but I haven't looked into that). In a terminal, use the following commands to build a .deb package that will replace the default gnome-control-center package. $ apt-get source control-center this will create a directory named control-center-2.13.93 (or something similar) . Get the patch from the GNOME bugzilla and save it in that directory. $ sudo apt-get build-dep control-center $ sudo apt-get install build-essentials dpkg-dev this will install a slew of package required to build the gnome-control- center package. still in the control-center-2.13.93 directory, use $ patch -p0 gnome.bugzilla.patch.file this will patch the required file. Then type: $ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot if everything goes well, you will have a some .deb package in the parent directory (cd ..). Install the new package: $ sudo dpkg -i gnome-control-center-dbg_2.13.93-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb if you restart GNOME, gnome-settings-daemon will start with the -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/27143 Comment: Thanks! I wish information like this was a bit more readily available as it seems that lack of testing is one of the biggest problems in cases like these. Devs don't want to apply without testing and users don't know how to test without applying, effectively creating a catch 22. =) I still think it would be worth rolling in the patch and see if something breaks - and do it as early as possible so there's time to revert. Now it's getting late in the cycle... :( -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/27143 Comment: A quickfix for this bug is to make sure that you mouse button mapping is set to: pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 before launching gnome-settings-daemon. Note the order '1,2,3' for the first three buttons, anything else seems to tick off gnome-settings-daemon. You can do this with 'xmodmap -e pointer = 1 2 3 (how many ever buttons your mouse has) ' Once gnome-settings-daemon is launched you can remap your mouse buttons to your own mapping. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
