[Desktop-packages] [Bug 792085] Re: Automatic remount of safely removed drive
Same bug with Ubuntu 13.04 Yesterday I updated from ubuntu 12.10 to 13.04 using the software updater. Now when I plug-in my external hdd it automounts again in seconds after I hit 'safely remove'. It does not stay unmounted even after multiple times hitting 'safely remove' I can only remove it when I either do ' sudo eject /media/...' or 'sudo umount /media/' I hadn't had this problem with 12.10. It doesn't make a difference if I use the Usb 2.0 or 3.0 port on my computer. In addition a Usb pen drive that was working perfectly before is not working at all anymore and not even listed when I do 'sudo fdisk -l' My computer does have a Nvidia Graphics card and I use gnome not unity -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/792085 Title: Automatic remount of safely removed drive Status in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “usb-creator” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: nautilus When I choose Safely remove drive context menu entry for an external USB drive within a nautilus window or directly clicking on the desktop icon, after about 10 seconds the drive is automatically remounted and a Nautilus window showing the root folder opens.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 817326] Re: [Upstream] Previously-saved LibreOffice document lost by power outage (became 0 bytes long) - LibreOffice should call fsync
I just lost a document I have been working on for weeks, due to the Ubuntu overheating-problem, which caused a power-failure, and then due to this bug in LibreOffice, which cost me weeks of work. I am depending on Libreoffice due to the special features I require, which make it easier to write in a rare language, and would otherwise be difficult to accomplish. I hope this will have a solution soon, as I cannot risk loosing any more work. There is only version 3.4.4 available in the repositories. No fixes with updates? I appreciate your help! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/817326 Title: [Upstream] Previously-saved LibreOffice document lost by power outage (became 0 bytes long) - LibreOffice should call fsync Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Incomplete Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I was working on a document in LibreOffice today while my battery was low and so I was frequently saving, which I thought would help me if I lost power. However, when I eventually did lose power and later rebooted, the document had become 0 bytes long. LibreOffice was not able to restore the auto-saved copy either. As a result, I have lost a whole week of notes for one of my courses. After researching online, it seems that this is caused by the application not calling fsync() (or fdatasync()) when saving files. Due to delayed allocation in modern filesystems, there is no guarantee that the new file's data has actually been written to disk unless the application calls fsync. So if an app writes a new file and replaces the old one with it without fsync'ing the new one first then there is a window of opportunity during which a power failure will result in the loss of BOTH versions of the file. In ext4 this window is also much larger than in ext3. Theodore Tso blogged about this at http://ldn.linuxfoundation.org /blog-entry/delayed-allocation-and-zero-length-file-problem and http://www.linuxfoundation.org/news- media/blogs/browse/2009/03/don%E2%80%99t-fear-fsync. He strongly recommends to call fsync in this situation. Please update LibreOffice to fsync() saved files so that other users do not lose their data like I did.

Dear Christopher, thank you for the extensive information provided. I was unaware that there is an Ubuntu approved font, this is why I resorted to an external source, the only one known to me. I will immediately go about installing and trying the Ubuntu-font. If I still encounter problems, which I don't expect, I will send more feedback.

Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 901896] Re: scrambled words in LibreOffice
http://www.languagegeek.com/font/fontdownload.html This is the Language-Geek website. I am mainly using the Aboriginal Sans. A couple of weeks ago, a long time after using this (as I explained earlier, I am using macros to put special characters into my writings) these macros suddenly crashed and disappeared from LibreOffice and I had to reinstall something again. But the problem with the scrambling even occurred long before this happened. (I believe, the offending character may have been the one that will be listed under Diacritical marks after the download of the font in the special character settings under the number U+0312) As my macros also disappeared lately, I reinstalled a slightly different character for the same purpose, trying out if this would make a difference. I am not sure about this yet, as it has only been a few days. I do not have good copies of the files that were scrambled, no matter where I get them from, even back-ups, certain files show up scrambled. Some files from way back when are all-right, and some files are not. It seems to be related to some version changes in the software. (I had problems with version-changes before, i.e. in impress, where the insert movie and sound feature suddenly stopped working -still works in the original files before the break occurred-, and I had to do things differently to play sounds with the files. But this is a different matter, that also has never been fixed.) Sorry to not have the original files unscrambled, they are wrecked now. I am attaching the previous document again, AND I have highlighted what I believe to be the offending character (the comma or accent on the top). This character goes all over the place, some of them are even entirely off the document, see attached screen-shot. After downloading the font, I chose the two characters I need to combine with the letters and record a macro with the fantastic macro-recording feature, which seems to be working again. (It was going well for years without breaking. The recorded characters just worked, and the documents were just fine.) After recording the macro, I went into the customization features and assigned the F3 and F5 key to use for insertion of the accent. (I use F4 for Accentuate). [So I had three macros running: Accentuate, and the two special characters, one of which crashed and caused the scrambling. The two self-recorded macros were the ones that disappeared and the accentuate one was still alive, when this part crashed. But that was much later than the scrambling.] I also experienced system crashes. At the time I had Firefox and LibreOffice running, and an update manager notification showing up, and VOILA it logged me out. I don't know if this is related or something else. This is on Kubuntu 11.10. On Unity it was even more buggy, Libre-Office constantly crashed in various ways. It was not compatible with work. A while ago, I also opened Libreoffice in Terminal, and it gave me an error message, which has now disappeared. I am also attaching the Java error file for your information (I don't know if this has anything to do with this, or is another issue.) I tried many different things, for week I have been combing the Internet now to figure this out. I also installed everything JAVA, that I could find in Synaptics, and found a new version 7. Now, at least, I am not getting JAVA errors any more, at least so far. I also uninstalled KDE-integration, as this was recommended at one bug-reporting website. I hope the scrambled documents are not beyond repair, but I fear they are. I also hope, that whatever is causing this will not continue and be fixable. I just experienced a SYSTEM-Crash again! Maybe there are more bugs to report. Do you think it is advisable to do a fresh install (I have been trying to avoid this, because it means days and days of work, and putting me behind in my other work.), because this is Kubuntu on top of multiple upgrades and Ubuntu 11.10? Would that fix things, or does it not matter? It appears to be mostly the UPDATES, which are crashing the whole system. I thank you for all your efforts at figuring this out, it is greatly appreciated. I also apologize for being so difficult to work with, most of the underpinnings of the software are unfamiliar to me.

Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 901896] Re: scrambled words in LibreOffice
Hello, thank you for the speedy reply. I am typing in Secwepemctsin (or shuswap). I downloaded aboriginal font from language geek years agao, and I am running two special characters with recorded macros (so after typing a letter it puts a comma on top or behind the letter just typed by pressing the assigned key (F3 or F5). This has been working well until about Ubuntu 11.04 or 11.10 ( don't remember exactly when the problem started). I am attaching a file, so you can see it for yourself, the scrambled words are highlighted yellow. (the offending character is one of the diacritical marks, and I am writing in Aboriginal Sans). Meanwhile, I also filed a bug-repoert with LibreOffice, and I found 3 log-files about a Java crash (I am not sure if this is even related), and filed a bug-report with them, because it asked that of me in the log-file. Sorry for being so long-winded and so amateurish. I apologize for my computer-ignorance. However, it is quite something to work on a document for many days and then opening it again to find it scrambled and unusable. (see attached file) Thank you for taking this seriously, Sabine On 8 December 2011 16:17, Christopher M.
