[Touch-packages] [Bug 1872209] [NEW] syntax error message in f-string doesn't report line number

2020-04-11 Thread Simon Lambourn
Public bug reported:

I accidentally came across this annoying 'feature' or more likely, bug.

The following code 
   f"...foo ... {**kwargs} ..."
produces a very basic syntax error message with no line number in the source 
file:

  File "", line 1
(**kwargs)
  ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax


This is the error message I would expect from the interpreter, but not when 
running a python script.   A demo script is as follows: 

''' f-string bug demonstration '''

def main(*args, **kwargs):
print(f"main() called with *args={*args}, **kwargs={**kwargs}")

With a longer python file, it is hard to find the offending line.
Should the line number be displayed in the error message?

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1865364] [NEW] SELECT WHERE using COLLATE NOCASE fails using multiple tests and using IN(...)

2020-03-01 Thread Simon Lambourn
Public bug reported:

COLLATE NOCASE seems to be ignored when using the following constructs
in a WHERE clause:

Col=value1 COLLATE NOCASE OR Col=value2
Col IN(value COLLATE NOCASE) 
Col IN(value) COLLATE NOCASE   [both are accepted, not sure which is valid 
syntax]

It works in the simple case Col=value1 COLLATE NOCASE

I have written a simple test script which demonstrates working queries
and failing queries, which is attached, and reproduced here:

# demo of sqlite bug with collate nocase
# usage: sqlite3 :memory:
# > .read sqlite_nocase_bug.sql
#
create temp table test (col text unique);
insert into test (col) values('Test');

select '1:', * from test where col='Test';  -- works
select '2:', * from test where col='test' collate nocase; -- works
select '3:', * from test where col='test' collate nocase or col='other' collate 
nocase;  -- returns no rows
select '4:', * from test where col in ('test') collate nocase; -- returns no 
rows
select '5:', * from test where col in ('test' collate nocase); -- returns no 
rows

Bug description:
  The bug may be assigned to the wrong package: I'm using Glade 3.22.1
  and Python 3.7.5.

  Using popup menus, if I assign Gio.Actions to the menuitems, the menuitems 
become insensitive, so you cannot click on them, even if they have a handler 
for the "activate" signal as well.
  I can assign Gio.Actions successfully to menuitems in a menubar, or a 
drop_down menu attached to a menubar, or to other clickable widgets such as 
buttons, so I think the logic works.

  The Glade xml output looks as if it is correctly specified (although
  I'm no expert), so I guess that Gtk.Builder is not connecting the
  signals properly.   Or there might be a restriction that I'm not aware
  of... so apologies if I am trying to do something not supported, but I
  have tried to research this.

  Behaviour:  menuitems in popup menus that have actions assigned are
  always insensitive and cannot be made sensitive.

  assigned should be sensitive and activatable.

  lightdm session constantly switches screen appearance

Bug description:
  After installing regular software updates on 23 Sept, my screen
  session has become almost unusable.  The screen appearance (font,
  button style, window menu bar location) alternates about twice a
  second between my usual settings and what I guess are the default un-
  decorated settings.   This means that text, buttons, and input areas
  are often moving around on the screen as the font size changes or the
  window menu bar comes and goes.

  In addition, keyboard input characters take a variable time to appear (up to 
a few seconds?) and can appear in the wrong order.
  CPU utilisation is much higher when I am logged on.   See TOP output below.   
I get the same problems with any one of Chromium, Firefox, Thunderbird, Ubuntu 
Software Centre, BASH terminal window.

  When I first sign on, I get a message system software problem
  detected in a panel by itself, before the desktop is displayed, and
  again after the desktop is displayed.  This is connected with the bug,
  but I can't find out the details of the error.   I have selected
  report the problem repeatedly.

  The software installed on 23 Sept included Dbus , libdbus-1-3,  and
  dbus-x11 versions 1.6.18-0ubuntu4.2.  I tried downgrading these 3 to
  -0ubuntu4 but the problem remained after a reboot.   There were about
  20-30 packages updated at the same time, including linux-image, but I
  can't spot which might be causing the problem.   I'm using a clean
  install of ubuntu 14.04 but with my /home directory from an older
  ubuntu installation.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1375194] Re: lightdm session constantly switches screen appearance

2014-10-01 Thread Simon Lambourn
Update:  I have found a workaround by .config/compiz-1 and .config/dconf
(I have a backup of the .config/dconf if this might help to debug this
issue, but not the compiz one, sorry).   This makes the screen behave
normally again...

** Attachment added: .xsession-errors shows a whole multitude of problems

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1375194] [NEW] lightdm session constantly switches screen appearance

2014-09-29 Thread Simon Lambourn
Public bug reported:

After installing regular software updates on 23 Sept, my screen session
has become almost unusable.  The screen appearance (font, button
style, window menu bar location) alternates about twice a second between
my usual settings and what I guess are the default un-decorated
settings.   This means that text, buttons, and input areas are often
moving around on the screen as the font size changes or the window menu
bar comes and goes.

In addition, keyboard input characters take a variable time to appear (up to a 
few seconds?) and can appear in the wrong order.
CPU utilisation is much higher when I am logged on.   See TOP output below.   I 
get the same problems with any one of Chromium, Firefox, Thunderbird, Ubuntu 
Software Centre, BASH terminal window.

When I first sign on, I get a message system software problem detected
in a panel by itself, before the desktop is displayed, and again after
the desktop is displayed.  This is connected with the bug, but I can't
find out the details of the error.   I have selected report the
problem repeatedly.

The software installed on 23 Sept included Dbus , libdbus-1-3,  and
dbus-x11 versions 1.6.18-0ubuntu4.2.  I tried downgrading these 3 to
-0ubuntu4 but the problem remained after a reboot.   There were about
20-30 packages updated at the same time, including linux-image, but I
can't spot which might be causing the problem.   I'm using a clean
install of ubuntu 14.04 but with my /home directory from an older ubuntu
installation.
