[ubuntu-uk] Spell checking in Yakkety ...

[Barry Drake]

Hi ...   Has anyone else had a problem with the spell checker in 
Yakkety?  I noticed it in Libreoffice writer.  The spell checker 
settings say it is working, and it is set to the UK English dictionary.  
I can write complete garbage, but nothing is offered by the checker.  I 
have made no alterations to Libreoffice except for installing 
templates.  Any thoughts?


Thanks.Barry.

[Bug 11958] Re: Unable to show hidden files

[Barry Drake]

I found a workaround for .thunderbird.  I put a character before the
dot, copied it into the home directory, then renamed it after the
transfer had completed the copy.  No problem, as Thunderbird had never
been fired up, so I didin't need to rename/delete an existing directory.
Now I have to find a way of getting my many Libreoffice templates into a
low level subdirectory of .profile.  Near impossible to make a
workaround.  I'm going to look around for a new file manager that works
properly.  Maybe Canonical should do likewise if you guys don't get this
issue fixed  Do the maintainers not posses a brain?

[Bug 1614552] [NEW] Software center gives no information

[Barry Drake]

Public bug reported:

I'm reporting this as a bug.  Usually, I use the terminal to install.
On dome deb packages, I get a message 'unknown ..etc. cannot install.'
I find that very annoying. I have to use the software center, which
fails to install (presumably because of unmet dependencies).  But what
they are is a mystery.  I really would like the terminal to be a lot
less picky.  Could one of you make a note of that please.  If I install
something that does damage, I should have to take full responsibility,
but in a Linux system, I don't want to be mothered!  Thanks.  Barry.

[ubuntu-uk] Bad iso 14.04

[Barry Drake]

Hi ...   I've no idea how else to report this.  The 14.04 iso on the 
Ubuntu website is broken.  It's less than 50 GiB.  I did take it twice, 
just in case.  I've managed to get it from another site.  Hopefully, 
that one will work OK.

Here it is   I tried copying update-grub from my wily installation.

I fixed these, but on running fsck a second time, these block differences were

it being on USB or is the drive faulty?

You might try getting a copy of Windows - either Win 7 or XP. Either of 
these will say that the disk has an unrecognisable system, and will 
offer fdisk to delete the partition.  It will let you use fdisk to 
create a new NTFS partition, and will then let you do a long format to 
begin installation.  MS Win is very verbose in long-format mode, and you 
will find out if the disk is faulty.  I'm not sure whether MS can work 
with a USB drive?  I have a built-in trayless caddy, so I don't use a 
USB arrangement.  Incidentally, Windows will trash the boot sector of 
/dev/sda, so unplug that before trying the process.

[Bug 1459235] Re: Google Address book: Unable to open address book

[Barry Drake]

The call is in camel-sasl-oauth2-google.c, but I don't know where it
gets the URL string that needs changing.  I guess I'd do the fix, if I
understood a bit more!  How long is that going to take someone who knows
their way around the code?

When you go to the reported URL, you see this message:  Important:
ClientLogin has been officially deprecated since April 20, 2012 and is
now no longer available. Requests to ClientLogin will fail with a HTTP
404 response. We encourage you to migrate to OAuth 2.0 as soon as
possible.  On that page, is the URL that needs to be called.

The link for migration in the above takes you to:

Not so far.  If it is fixed, please can we have the working version put

[Bug 1585895] [NEW] this version does not use an older .thunderbird directory

[Barry Drake]

Public bug reported:

It was normal to set up a new installation by copying the .thunderbird
directory from the previous installation.  This new version requires
each email account to be re-installed.  As I have seven imap accounts,
it is really annoying.  I expect I'll move over to a different client.

[Bug 704763] Re: boot loader not installed to target disk

[Barry Drake]

It gets worse After trying all the suggested ways of restoring the
boot sector and failing, I used the live cd to re-install xenial, with
the other two internal drives I have, disconnected.  Ubiquity on the lat
April testing version) - showed grub being installed, and update-grub
being run.  BUT when re-booting, I got the grub error prompt.  It seems
the problem's been there for a while!

The release version of xenial trashed the boot sector on the target

During the last couple of weeks, there have been enormous numbers of
updates.  The menus disappeared three or four times, but came back after
one or two updates.  If they don't come back for you, you may have to
wait for the stable version.sc

[Bug 1554967] Re: Default installation fails because it cannot delete swap partition

[Barry Drake]

You wouldn't see anything there, as I used fdisk from a CD (not the live
CD; another boot disk that boots straight into a terminal.  It was
quicker for me, as I'd already ejected the live-CD.  The error was from
gparted, and it simply said 'Failed to delete swap partition'.  I then
tried to use gparted manually from the live CD and got the same error.
I'll be re-installing again soon, bit not 'till after Easter.  The top
panel menus disappeared again after yesterday's update.  Tell me what
you want me to do, and I'll install in whatever manner you like.  Tell
me where, and which logfile, and I''ll save it to a thumb-drive.

[Bug 1555633] Re: unity command hangs on ubuntu 16.04

[Barry Drake]

I re-installed at the beginning of this week.  The iso is dated Monday,
so I installed either Monday or Tuesday.  I re-formatted the drive, and
did a complete re-install following the defaults.  If you re-installed
using any other method without clearing the drive first, you will find
the problem travels with the install.  I say this from previous
experience.  If that fails, it must be hardware specific.  The problem
for me disappeared the re-install before last - about one or two months
ago.  Can you say exactly how you re-installed?  I recognize the
problem, and it didn't go away until I did the above.  I've never been
able to go through a complete test cycle without doing the above at
least twice.

[Bug 1554967] [NEW] Default installation fails because it cannot delete swap partition

[Barry Drake]

Public bug reported:

Yesterday, I re-installed Xenial giving the instruction 'use entire hard
drive'.  It failed because it could not remove the swap partition.  I
tried gparted, and saw the error.  I had to drop into a terminal and use
fdisk to get rid of the swap partition before I could make the default
method use the entire hard drive.  I know the workaround would have been
to configure manually.  As I'm testing, I wanted to use all the
defaults.  Hence the bug report.

Hi Robert    I thought the easiest thing would be to attach all the
relevant scripts.  The command that starts the setup process is:
"/opt/symform/SymformNode.sh configure"  Thanks for your offer of help.
I'm feeling out of my comfort zone by a long, long way.  As I mentioned,
the current systemd option does not work.

Hi Simon   The 'start' command in the systemd.sh script is:
start_service()
{
systemctl start symform${1}.service
}

systemctl is very different in its operation.  The 'start' command won't 
listen to a port.  There doesn't seem to be a way to set up listening to 
port 59234 using that command.  Using it the way the systemd script 
tries to, produces the error "Failed to start symformconfigure.service: 
Unit symformconfigure.service failed to load: No such file or directory".


I imagine the guy who wrote the script assumed the command was a direct 
replacement for initctl.  It obviously is not.  I've saved the man page 
as a text file, and read through it carefully.  There doesn't seem to be 
a command that performs the action I need.  So far, I haven't found 
anything that will do what initctl used to do. The initctl command was 
used to make the port open the register page of the symform web site, 
and return the information in the form of a log.  I've been trying to 
find something that acts in the same way, but so far, no luck.

Hi Simon   Having found the page describing the use of the initctl 
command, I can't find a package or anything else, such as the code.  I 
gather it used to be included with upstart, and that has changed.  There 
must be a workaround using another command, but so far, I'm no finding 
anything.

I've found out exactly where the problem exists.  I've put the relevant 
fragments of the three scripts involved below.  The main thing is that 
the platform.sh script has a call to initctl, which no longer exists.  
This seems to be where the listen for port 59234 is supposed be set.  Is 
there a replacement for what is presumably a deprecated call?  It seems 
to work OK in 14.04.


In main setup script:

for service in $SERVICES; do
if [ $service = "web" ]; then
sleep 2
outfn=$(util_mktemp /tmp/testweb.XX)
if ! util_test_url 
"http://127.0.0.1:$(get_webui_port)/" 1 10 "$outfn"; then

echo "Web service is not healthy" 1>&2
cat "$outfn" 1>&2
fi

In 'base' script:
get_webui_port()
{
if [ -z "$SYMFORM_WEB_UI_PORT" ]; then
echo "59234"
else
echo "$SYMFORM_WEB_UI_PORT"
fi
}

In 'platform'script:
if [ -d /etc/init -a -f /sbin/initctl ]; then
. "/opt/symform/scripts/platform/upstart.sh"
elif [ -d /etc/systemd -a -f /bin/systemctl ]; then
. "/opt/symform/scripts/platform/systemd.sh"
else
. "/opt/symform/scripts/platform/systemv.sh"
fi

This is where the script fails: the command 'initctl' no longer exists, 
and the script fails with an error message 'No command 'initctl:' found, 
did you mean:

Command 'initctl' from package 'upstart' (main)
initctl:: command not found'

Hi Simon   I didn't know that.  Looks like I have a few more scripts 
to look through.  There are a fair few of them.  I might fire up 14.04 
again tomorrow and see what's happening on port 59234.  It will be great 
if I can solve it.  None of the guys at Symform know a lot about Ubuntu, 
so I'm working very much in the dark here - without your help, I don't 
think I'd have known where to look next any more than the Symform folk.

that port.
Hi Simon   Thanks.  I tried that - there is nothing listening on 
that port.  I also tried 127.0.0.1 in the browser with no port 
following.  The result is the same 'unable to connect'.  But the URL 
pings OK - so I'm really mystified.

[ubuntu-uk] Strange problem with Firefox in 15.04 and later ...

[Barry Drake]

Hi   Any pointer for me in trying to solve a problem. When I attemp 
to install the Symform cloud software,  on 15.04, when it makes a call 
to 127.0.0.1:59234 to register the user, Firefox comes up with a "Unable 
to connect Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 
127.0.0.1:59234"


In 14.04, it does the job properly, and gets to the Symform login page.  
I've tried other browsers, and done enough testing to determine that 
this is a problem in the Ubuntu infrastructure, and not in the browser.  
Any thoughts on how this might be resolved?  I think I might be able to 
use a workaround, and register using 14.04, them grab the registration 
information from that place, but I really want to find out what is 
happening.  The entire Linux version of Symform is written in bash shell 
scripts, so I've been able to check through those.  I can ping 127.0.0.1 
and get no problem, so it has to be down to some change in Ubuntu itself.


Regards,Barry.

but thought I ought to mention it.

Hi Will    Colin, on the list, asked me a while ago when I had last 
re-installed.  I did re-install, and the problem went away.  After the 
update and upgrade yesterday, it came back.  I know it won't go away 
until I repeat re-installation, but currently, there are so many other 
problems due to incompatibility with apps I have installed that I'm 
waiting a while.  I dual-boot on two different hard-drives - one with 
testing and one with stable (15.04 LTS), so I'm currently back to the 
stable one for a few days.  Thanks for your concern.

[ubuntu-uk] Printer problem ...

[Barry Drake]

Hi there    I've just installed my printer on xenial.  The printer I 
have, is missing from the database in cups.  I had to get the driver 
from HP.  The printer is an HP Deskjet 30558 all in one.  Is this 
something I should report as a CUPS bug, or is it an HP problem that I 
need to report there?  Any suggestions please?  Obviously my printer is 
working just fine now.

[Barry Drake]

Hi there ...   Alan suggested re-installing my system.  This, as he 
thought, did cure the problem.  Unfortunately, the daily build I took 
this morning was badly broken.  There is a bad package which is needed 
for most of the apps I want to install.  So for now, I'm back to Wily. 
I'll leave it a couple of days, and see what happens when I upgrade.

[Barry Drake]

Public bug reported:


Since a recent update, there is no longer a menu in the top panel. This
means no access at all to several operations, for example, I can no
longer perform tasks such as 'export to pdf'.  This is an identical
problem to the one that I reported as bug #1533826 in Audacity, so there
is some underlying problem in the Unity system that may affect a number
of applications.  Please investigate further.

[Bug 1535677] [NEW] Double-click does not work properly in low-level sub-directories.

[Barry Drake]

Public bug reported:

Double click works with great difficulty in very low level sub-
directories.  It works usually OK in ~/home/xxx/yyy, but the deeper I
get, the worse is the problem,  for example, in
~/Documents/urc/tls/2015-2016,  I frequently have to try double-clicking
two or three times - the frequency seems to vary!  Double clicking on
items in that directory, or in any lower level exacerbates the problem.
I frequently use directory trees of seven or eight sub levels.  This
makes the problem really annoying.

Hi Colin .   When you move the mouse pointer into the top panel, 
many applications show a menu on the left of the top panel. Libreoffice 
is one example, but the one I'm having a problem with is Audacity.  The 
menu works OK in Thunderbird, but not in the others. I suppose I'll 
report it as and 'Audacity' bug, and see what response I get.

[Bug 1527513] [NEW] Nautilus menu no longer includes a 'make link' item

Public bug reported:

In Xenial - 16.04, the new Nautilus is missing the menuitem 'make link'.
Doing it from a terminal takes a lot longer and is really inconvenient.
I haven't done this using 'ubuntu-bug'.  All the information about my

logged into Bugzilla again, I'll report it upstream, but no promises.

[Bug 1522316] Re: Icons are too big

[Barry Drake]

I've just spent a really frustrating half hour on the Bugzilla bug
reporting site.  I had reported this bug upstream after reporting it
here.  I can't get on and do anything.  My login details were not
accepted.  I changed the password, and then tried to log in.  The new
password was invalid.  Maybe I'll try again.  In addition a search on
that site does not seem to find Nautilus at all.  I did find it
originally, but can't remember how.

My second bug that was reported on my original report was " there is now
no 'delete' option in addition to the 'move to recycling' option".  My
original bug report with the title 'Huge icons in Nautilus .  seems
to have been removed rather than named as a duplicate, so I can no
longer reference it.  Please can someone include that bug in the
Nautilus list.

That's what I have found.  I also found I had to rewrite the 'play' 
scripts.  15.04 has changed some of its behaviour since the version I 
was using last year (I think it was 14.04).  I was also running a 
different laptop.  At that time, I could use the command ' 
[path-to-file]/music123 * and then call the shell script with a music 
filename as the argument.  Example: music123 -z -D 
/home/barry/Music/Retromania/*  I could use [shell 
script]/[path-to-file]/filename The behaviour has changed so the above 
starts to play all the music files in the directory.  I've had to write 
a tiny shell script for each music file, and call that script from the 
hotkey press.  With 10 to do, and hardly any time, I was getting VERY 
frustrated.  Still, in hindsight I know I should have started a day or 
so before.


Thanks again for your patience.

There is such a BIOS setting, but I do occasionally want to use

behaviour of the apps launcher thingy though.  That allows me to capture 
+[any key] but does not work the way it ought.  That is 
definitely hard coded, so I have every reason to suppose that the F3 key 
follows the same pattern.


As I've got everything I want working without using the F keys, I'm 
going to carry on with that arrangement.

[ubuntu-uk] Keyboard shortcuts in 15.04

Hi there   The +F3 is permanently hard-coded to sleep/wake.  I 
can't find anywhere a keyboard shortcuts conf file.  The locations given 
for earlier versions of Ubuntu on the internet are no longer valid for 
15.04.  I need all the F keys to play different pieces of Christmas 
music (Carols) with the press of a key.  I need to set it up on my 
laptop before Christmas eve.  Anyone able to give me a clue please?

The super key is hard coded too.  You can set the custom shortcut to

 The issue is definitely due to Ubuntu hard coding.  So far, I think 
I'm going to get away with +1 to 0 .  I'll start entering

[Bug 1524709] [NEW] Large icons only, and no 'delete' menuitem

[Barry Drake]

Public bug reported:

Since the last update, Nautilus appears with very large icons, and I've
so far found no way of adjusting their size that will work.   Also,
there is no menuitem I can find so far that allows 'delete' rather than
moving into the recycle bin.  I use this a great deal.

I took a further look this morning.  It is impossible (almost) to get 
Android apps without going via Google Play.  In order to use Google 
Play, you have to give a Google login, and that  means a Google account 
with all the information grabbing they do.  The outside sources (Amazon 
is one), have a very limited range of apps, most of which are not for 
serious work.


I've looked at both Tizen, and Sailfish
Maybe that's a good reason for Ubuntu's lack of enthusiasm for an 
Android layer.

I talked to some of the Tizen developer guys - The told me their OS is 
so locked in, you wouldn't recognise it as a Linux distro.  You can't 
access root at all, and a lot of the more powerful commandline items 
have been removed!  One guy's comment was 'If you are any kind of 
hacker, it is not for you'.  Sailfish (Jolla) is very much for the 
hacker and the developer.  But - you'll like this - several guys at 
Tizen said that the Ubuntu is the best of the lot!  They feel that if it 
could support Android, it would have an enormous market!  And the code 
Sailfish use for the Android platform is mostly FOSS and downloadable 
straight from the Sailfish site.

No, other platforms (Jolla, Tizen) have it.


Thanks Alan.   I've looked carefully at Tizen.  Their site's a bit 
strange to navigate around, but I found it quite fascinating.  They are 
now listing on ebay some Tizen OS smartphones, and they have a number of 
different makes of phones available in the US.  Not expensive either.

Too scared of bricking my phone to take the plunge and put Ubuntu on it!
One day..


It just so happens that I've scheduled a listing for my old phone on 
ebay.  I won't get a lot for it, and I'm very willing to risk that one. 
 I've just looked on the web site.  There used to be a list of phones 
that had been tried, and what to download from where, and how to install 
it.  That information seems to have disappeared from the Ubuntu site 
now.  Is it still around?  My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Young2.


Regards,Barry.
