[Bug 1677071] [NEW] IptablesHowTo typo

2017-03-28 Thread Daniel U. Thibault
Public bug reported:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo has at least one typo:
"abanonded" instead of "abandoned". The page is immutable, even after
I've joined the Ubuntu Wiki Editors group, so filing a bug seems to be
the only means remaining.

[Bug 1637573] [NEW] popt man pages are incomplete and erroneous

2016-10-28 Thread Daniel U. Thibault
Public bug reported:

Error in popt man pages: the e-address e...@redhat.com is invalid
(probably has been for quite some time)

Omissions in popt man pages:

1) poptParseArgvString has an undocumented return int value. What does
it return and what does it mean?

2) poptGetArg recovers “leftover arguments” but its documentation fails
to make it clear that it should not be called until poptGetNextOpt has
returned -1.  I ran into this with an app that used popt but knew that
it had no options to check for: after generating the context with
poptGetContext, it tried to jump directly to poptGetArg, with disastrous
results.

[Bug 1552852] [NEW] shares-admin does not handle spaces in paths correctly

Public bug reported:

If you use shares-admin to share a folder via NFS (Shared Folders:
Shared Folders: Add) and you pick out a path that includes embedded
spaces, the string is included verbatim (that is, without escaping the
spaces) in the configuration (/etc/exports in particular), and thus the
share will utterly fail.

I've just run into this related error (or discrepancy, at least) in the
`unix(7)` man page:

When the address of the socket is returned by getsockname(2),
getpeername(2), and accept(2), its length is offsetof(struct
sockaddr_un, sun_path) + strlen(sun_path) + 1, and sun_path contains the
null-terminated pathname.

[Bug 1463553] [NEW] accept() system call is inconsistent with bind(), connect()

2015-06-09 Thread Daniel U. Thibault
Public bug reported:

Under kernel 3.2.0-54 and 3.9.3 (at least), the accept() system call in
a PF_LOCAL, AF_LOCAL, SOCK_STREAM context returns an addrlen for the
sockaddr_un structure that is too large by one.

As the SUN_LEN macro of the sys/un.h header shows, the length of the
structure is expected to be the strlen() of the sun_path member, plus
that member's offset.  This is the length used by bind() and connect(),
in particular.  But accept() consistently returns a length which
includes the trailing null, and is thus too large by one.

[Bug 1458554] [NEW] watershed description may be erroneous

2015-05-25 Thread Daniel U. Thibault
Public bug reported:

The watershed package's description currently reads:

watershed may be run around a command such that any further attempts to
run the command while another copy is running will only result in one
initial further attempt.

It is hard to tell what watershed is actually trying to do (there is no
README in the package, and the code itself dives right into
technicalities without establishing context or intent), but I suspect it
is not what the description is stating.  I assume that watershed's
intent is to prevent more than one instance of a command from running at
any given time.  What the description states is that multiple watershed-
wrapped command instances will result in *two* running instances: the
first running copy, and the one initial further attempt.

Either way, this needs clarification.

[Bug 1457928] [NEW] Error on Ubuntu documentation immutable page

2015-05-22 Thread Daniel U. Thibault
Public bug reported:

On http://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoverLostDiskSpace, a line reads
An advertised 500Gb drive doesn't format to 500GB.

Besides the missing space between the number and symbol in each
measurement instance (e.g. it should read An advertised 500 Gb drive
doesn't format to 500 GB), it makes no sense to switch symbols in mid-
sentence unless you're talking about two different things (such as bytes
vs. bits).  Stick to B, the IEC 8-13, IEEE 1541 and Metric
Interchange Format symbol.

[Bug 1081219] Re: UI violates Ubuntu's unit policy

2015-05-22 Thread Daniel U. Thibault
Rolf Leggewie seems to be in the same camp as Theodore Ts'o, author of
the infamous resize2fs man pages.  Where Theodore also finds the
IEC/IEEE terminology ridiculous, he at least spells out what units
resize2fs does use.  Not so with system-config-lvm and its command-line
counterparts (lvreduce and others).

Getting the file system and logical volume extents wrong because the
units are poorly explained in the man pages or the GUI can cause entire
partitions to be lost.  That's not ridiculous, it's tragic.

I'm firmly with David D. Lowe on this issue: stick to IEC/IEEE
terminology, and spell it out in the man pages and the GUI, like the
Disk Utility (palimpsest) does.

[Bug 1350537] Re: ubuntu-desktop is missing a few dependencies

2014-09-12 Thread Daniel U. Thibault
** Description changed:

  Starting from a command-line (non-GUI) Ubuntu installation, adding
  ubuntu-desktop is supposed to be enough.  But it is missing some
  dependencies.  In particular, the indicator-* packages (indicator-
  application, indicator-appmenu, indicator-datetime, indicator-messages,
  indicator-power, indicator-session, indicator-sound).  Without
  indicator-session, for instance, the GUI has no means of shutting down
  or rebooting (save for the command-line).  Without indicator-datetime,
  the control panel has no Date  Time applet.  (I'm still trying to
  figure out if some apparently-related packages such as gnome-panel,
  libindicate-gtk3, libindicate5, sni-qt or telepathy-indicator should be
  added or not.)
  
  I suspect network-manager-gnome should be added in order to get the
  network indicator (or maybe indicator-network instead?).
  
  The dash home is crippled unless the unity-lens-* packages are added
  (unity-lens-applications, unity-lens-files, unity-lens-music, unity-
  lens-video are the default set it seems).
  
  The apt-xapian-index package is required for Synaptic to have a usable
  Quick Filter.
  
  Finally, libgtk2-perl is something apt looks for repeatedly, and ought
  to be added as a dependency as well.
  
+ Addendum: gnome-screensaver and libpam-gnome-keyring are also missing.
+ Without them, the system menu's Lock Screen command does not work.

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu release: 12.04.2 LTS

What I expected to happen:

After invoking Settings: Preferences: General and turning OFF Consider
recommended packages as dependencies, I expected recommendations to not
be treated as dependencies.

What happened instead:

The preference remained ON until I hit the Reload button.

Apparently Synaptic refreshes its preferences only upon selecting
Reload.

[Bug 1172711] Re: checkinstall includes ./proc/self/coredump_filter in deb package

2013-04-26 Thread Daniel U. Thibault
In order for the compilation to succeed, a few prerequisites exist.  On
my 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 virtual system (3.2.0-40-virtual), the packages I
needed were:

automake, libtool, openjdk-7-jdk

A later attachment is the deb package (prepared by checkconfig) on which
the attached tarball is dependent.  Once that deb is installed, deploy
the attached tarball, and then do, in its directory:

./bootstrap  bootstrap.log
./configure --with-java-jdk=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk --with-jni-interface  
configure.log
make  make.log
sudo checkinstall make install

Where /usr/lib/jvm/jdk is the path of your JDK (e.g. /usr/lib/jvm/java-7
-openjdk-amd64)

You should get a log similar to this when the install fails (I named the
package lttng-ust-java):

Selecting previously unselected package lttng-ust-java.
(Reading database ... 147274 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking lttng-ust-java (from .../lttng-ust-java_2.2.0-rc1-12_amd64.deb) ...

I know, it's weird, but this bug may be somehow related to the Java
business, because the tarball packages fine when the Java support is
omitted.

This is nothing dramatic, mind you, as I only needed to deploy the deb,
remove the offending proc sub-directory, and repackage it to get a
working version.

[Bug 1172711] [NEW] checkinstall includes ./proc/self/coredump_filter in deb package

2013-04-25 Thread Daniel U. Thibault
Public bug reported:

Under some very peculiar circumstances (I can supply a tar.gz of a
package that will cause this bug), checkinstall ends up including the
file ./proc/self/coredump_filter in its output deb.  This will cause any
installation attempt to fail, obviously.

checkinstall should automatically exclude from its output package any
files from special directories like /proc.

[Bug 1090407] [NEW] Unity launcher misbehaving, reset fails badly

2012-12-14 Thread Daniel U. Thibault
Public bug reported:

For some unfathomable reason, my Unity launcher has become unusable: it
still occupies the left edge of the screen, but only a sliver of some
unknown icon shows at the top, and the mouse is confused as to what's
lying in the apparently blank area.  I'm forced to use the Windows key
and search for everything.

So I followed the instructions at http://askubuntu.com/questions/72366
/how-can-i-restore-the-unity-launcher to attempt to reset it.  This is
what then happened (and my Unity launcher is as bad as before):

[Bug 952636] Re: No GUI-based group management feature beginning 12.04.

2012-09-24 Thread Daniel U. Thibault
It's really a sad state of affairs that this bug reveals.  The Linux
community seems to be disintegrating, each clan blaming the others for
whatever.  Ubuntu looked like a viable alternative to the big guys, but
with flat-out failures like this one, it's beginning to look doomed.

Forget clannishness: customers want a comprehensive, working, graphical
solution.  Period.

Bug management is another issue: how come GNOME bugs aren't just another
department of this bugzilla?  Why isn't there a simple way to transfer
the bug to the proper bug management system?

[Bug 1043356] [NEW] Synaptic won't offer to install unauthenticated packages

2012-08-29 Thread Daniel U. Thibault
Public bug reported:

Unlike with the command line, where 'apt-get install somepackage' can
yield:

WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
  somepackage
Install these packages without verification [y/N]? y

Synaptic does not offer to install the unauthenticated package.

In the particular case of this filing, the issue seems to have been a
refresh one, because running 'apt-get update' meant a retry of 'apt-get
install linux-libc-dev' finally worked.  The first attempts to install
the updated Linux headers (reported by Update manager) yielded an
unauthenticated sources error message.  With no further details.
Trying the command line revealed that apt was trying to get linux-libc-
dev_3.2.0-24.37_amd64.deb, whereas the repository only holds
3.2.0-23.36, 29.46 and 30.48.

Another issue I have is that the error message reads:

E: Unable to fetch some archives, try running apt-get update or apt-get
--fix-missing.

'apt-get update' works, but 'apt-get --fix-missing' is an abject
failure.  The message should be:

E: Unable to fetch some archives, try running apt-get update or apt-get
install --fix-missing packagename.

Interestingly, running 'apt-get install --fix-missing linux-libc-dev'
(before 'apt-get update') yielded this:

WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
  linux-libc-dev
Install these packages without verification [y/N]? y

I think it's worse than just an opinion, as it actually made bug
reporting impossible for me.  I gave the only answer that made sense to
the first question, and ubuntu-bug then shut down.  If you suddenly find
no bugs being reported, maybe this will be the cause.

[Bug 994825] [NEW] Unity has no group management

2012-05-04 Thread Daniel U. Thibault
Public bug reported:

As stated in various blogs and web pages, under Unity there is no
graphical way to edit user groups like there was under previous gnome
desktops.  Group membership is critical for some applications (e.g.,
VirtualBox shared folders), and the user naturally expects System
Settings: User Accounts to handle this.  But it does not.  One is forced
to scour the Web to learn this sad fact, and then open a terminal and
manage group membership manually.

2012-02-14 Thread Daniel U. Thibault
Public bug reported:

Wanting to see which updates were recently installed on my system, I
went to System: Administration: Synaptic Package Manager and did File:
History.  The History window proudly proclaims it displays a History of
installed, upgraded and removed software packages.  I was flabbergasted
to see it did NOT include the various updates that the Update Manager
regularly inflicts upon my system.

The rules lawyers will argue that updated is not in the Synaptic
History job description.  Harrumph.  Since the Update manager offers not
History of its own, this is completely unacceptable.  How am I supposed
to get a list of recent changes to my system when something suddenly
breaks?

[Bug 914499] [NEW] 'su --help' exits with error code 2

2012-01-10 Thread Daniel U. Thibault
Public bug reported:

Version: 1:4.1.4.2-1ubuntu3.2

Linux applications that have a help or usage option almost
universally print the requested help to stdout and return with an exit
code of zero.  There was, after all, no error since the user explicitly
requested this output.

'su --help', for no apparent reason, prints its help to stderr and exits
with code 2.  As long as there is a non-zero exit code, output to stderr
is correct, but it I am convinced the exit code should be zero and the
output should go to stdout.

Oddly, although the 'man su' pages do not list -h or --help among the
available options, 'su --help' does (it also does not complain of an
invalid option).

I'm reporting this here because the su maintainers are listed as Ubuntu
Developers ubuntu-devel-disc...@lists.ubuntu.com.

Public bug reported:

If one enters a malformed repository into Synaptic's software sources
list (say you mistype the path, for example), Syanptic becomes unusable
because the first it does when launched is look up the software sources,
which generates the error:

[Bug 813534] [NEW] linux-image-*-lttng package descriptions refer to non-existent linux-lttng meta-package

2011-07-20 Thread Daniel U. Thibault
Public bug reported:

The package descriptions of the various linux-image-*-lttng packages
(found in ppa.launchpad.net/lttng/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/)
conclude with:

You likely do not want to install this package directly. Instead, install
the linux-lttng meta-package, which will ensure that upgrades work
correctly, and that supporting packages are also installed.

The linux-lttng meta-package is non-existent; what is meant is
actually the lttng meta-package.

Side issue:
When trying to file this bug, I used the package chooser to find 
linux-image-2.6.38-10-lttng...but the form then reports that:

linux-image-2.6.38-10-lttng does not exist in Ubuntu. Please choose a
different package. If you're unsure, please select I don't know

Selecting I don't know initially didn't work either, leading to an
unspecified error. Turned out it was complaining about http appearing
in the bug description (now removed).

[Bug 750435] [NEW] Remote file time stamps not updated during copy-paste

2011-04-04 Thread Daniel U. Thibault
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

(Possibly a Samba bug rather than a Nautilus one)

When copying a file from a window opened on a remote share (using Samba)
and then pasting into some other (local) location, if the file already
exists the usual Cancel/Skip/Replace dialog pops up, but the timestamps
reported by the dialog are not updated unless the window (to the remote
share) is locally refreshed beforehand, leading the user to possibly
Skip when he should Replace (when conducting an update, for example).
If the file is Replaced, the timestamps are updated once the copy is
completed, so at least there are no further consequences for this bug.

To demonstrate, copy a file from a remote location to a local one.  In
the remote location, edit the file to make some trivial changes and save
it.  Obtain its properties and note the last modification timestamp.
Back in the local location, *without refreshing the window*, obtain the
file's properties.  Note how the last modification timestamp has not
been updated.  Copy the file again and paste it again in the same local
location.  Note how the Cancel/Skip/Replace dialog reports identical
timestamps.

This caching effect can also cause Error while copying: No such file or
directory if the remote file has been renamed, moved or deleted since
the window to the remote share was last refreshed.  Also, any
application or daemon that watches the remote directory for changes will
likely fail to detect them.

[Bug 741936] [NEW] Setting execute permission for multiple files fails surreptitiously

2011-03-24 Thread Daniel U. Thibault
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

Ubuntu 10.10

Using Nautilus, one can select multiple files (or folders) and obtain
their combined Properties.  On the Permissions tab of the Properties
window, there is an Execute checkbox, which one can check (or
uncheck).  So I selected several files, obtained their properties, went
to the Permissions tab, checked Execute and then hit Close.  I
naturally expected each file's execute bit to be set.  Surprise: None of
the files had their execute bit set.

Nautilus should behave as expected and set (or unset) the flag on each
selected file, *or* it should disable the checkbox to indicate its
unwillingness to be helpful.  (Note that changing access permissions in
the same way works, by contrast)

[Bug 712115] Re: Text of libexif Template “libexif-12” is incorrect

2011-02-03 Thread Daniel U. Thibault
Clearly the original text suffers from a copy-paste mistake (wouldn't be
the first time a standard suffers from dumb errors like this). The
'knot' is *not* a unit of distance; it is only in informal usage (See
for instance http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/dictK.html) that the
nautical mile is made a synonym to 'knot' (really a knot-hour): no
normative document will ever make such a mistake purposefully.

At the very least, a note-to-translators should be added explaining this
problem and recommending that the translation work from 'nautical mile'
instead of 'knot', particularly since the informal confusion of speed
and distance units is not going to be present in most target languages
(the French, for instance, never use 'nœud' to mean a distance).

2011-02-03 Thread Daniel U. Thibault
Dictionaries are not normative, particularly not modern ones: they just
report on observed usage. I was referring to standard-setting documents
such as those put out by ISO, IEEE, ANSI, and so on. They can't afford
to introduce ambiguities between distance and speed ---otherwise you end
up with disasters like the Mars Polar Lander affair.

I'm not disputing that the usage is current in English: I'm just
pointing out the same is not true of other languages, and that confusing
distance and speed seems very odd when looking at the detailed specs of
GPS sensors.

[Bug 177929] Re: We need file encoding select function for zip files

2011-01-16 Thread Daniel U. Thibault
I was sure I had seen someone explaining the problem as arising from
xarchiver, but I seem to have been mistaken.  I now understand (I'm new
to this bugs.launchpad) that this bug had been assigned to multiple
applications (file-roller and xarchiver).  In that sense, xarchiver is
possibly blameless (I'm no expert on this), the problem lying only with
file-roller.  I apologise for my premature over-reaction.

As long as we're all agreed that the lack of Unicode filename support
from file-roller is a problem...

[Bug 177929] Re: We need file encoding select function for zip files

2011-01-15 Thread Daniel U. Thibault
Charlie is mincing words to get around the problem of facing the issue.
The bug is valid, because xarchiver is NOT unzipping the contents of the
archive: it is copying its contents to seemingly randomly-named other
files.  The original zipped files are NOT recovered: you get other-named
files with the same content.  This is untenable when unzipping a
hierarchy of files and folders, or just multiple files: how is the user
going to match the weird output with his expectation? He can't.

[Bug 177929] Re: We needs file encoding select function.

2010-12-14 Thread Daniel U. Thibault
I can confirm the problem in a French environment : the accented
characters are not dealt with correctly by file-roller (they become
question marks).  I'm aware that the problem lies with the zip format
itself; invoking unzip directly from the command line does extract the
badly named files, albeit with an  (invalid encoding) comment
appended to the name ---at least this way I can rename the offending
files manually.

The problem lies in that file-roller issues a warning about the
filename not matched but then does not provide a workaround.  It
should at the very least propose to decompress the files using some
simple substitution scheme (keeping the question marks, replacing them
with underscores, anything!) or maybe prompt the user to rename each
offending file on the fly.

Bottom line: file-roller should decompress SOMETHING.

[Bug 521492] Re: Dual Monitor wallpaper is not scaling across both monitors, same background is repeated on both monitors instead

2010-10-20 Thread Daniel U. Thibault
My display configuration(virtual desktop) consists of two monitors. From left 
to right:
* 1600x1200, rotated left (hence 1200x1600 really) (secondary monitor)
* 1920x1200 (main monitor)

The virtual desktop thus measures 3120x1600 (with a dent taken out of it
in the lower right hand corner).  The wallpaper used for these tests
measures 2560x1600 px.

The Help is not synchronised with the UI; it describes Centered/Fill
Screen/Scaled/Zoom/Tiled but the Appearance: Preferences: Background
Style drop-down lists Tile/Zoom/Center/Scale/Stretch/Span.  Note how
Span is missing and how Stretch = Fill Screen.

Tile: Instead of two images side-by-side (left full width, right ~one-
fifth width), the tiling uses the central part of the image (1920x1200)
and tiles that.  Note how the main monitor's size was used instead of
the whole desktop's.

Zoom: Does not zoom to cover the entire virtual desktop, but instead
zooms within each display separately.

Center: Does not center with respect to the entire virtual desktop, but
instead centers within each display separately.

Scale: Does not scale with respect to the entire virtual desktop, but
instead scales within each display separately.

Stretch: Does not stretch over the entire virtual desktop, but instead
stretches within each display separately.

Span: Not specified, but the expectation is an aspect-ratio-preserving
scaling that covers the entire virtual desktop.  In actuality, it only
stretches until the vertical size is achieved (1600 px here), leaving
two ugly bands on either side.

[Bug 654742] Re: Gross mistake about palindromic years

2010-10-08 Thread Daniel U. Thibault
Usually implies more than 50% of the time, which is incorrect.
Palindromic years do NOT occur at 11 year intervals at the end of each
millennium.  They only do so during the first century of the calendar.
(In rewriting this answer, it finally dawned on me what this was trying
to say...Poorly expressed, in my opinion)  A correct sentence would be:

From year 1.001 to year 9.999, palindrome years occur at 110 year
intervals, with a single 11 year interval at each millennium turnover.

[Bug 654702] [NEW] French translation error

2010-10-04 Thread Daniel U. Thibault
Public bug reported:

When trying to paste a physical link that crosses a partition boundary,
the error message reads:

Une erreur s’est produite :
ln: création d'un lien direct de «...somefilepath...» vers

But should be instead:

Une erreur s’est produite :
ln: création d'un lien direct de « ...somefilepath... » vers « 
...someotherfilepath... » : Lien croisé de périphérique invalide

Three errors are present:
a) French guillemets («») require spaces (non-breaking spaces)
b) French colon (also semi-colon, question and exclamation marks) requires a 
space (non-breaking space)
c) périphéque is a misspelling of périphérique

Palindrome years occur usually at 110 year intervals except for the end
of each millennium that occur at a 11 years interval.

This is grossly false.  Palindromic years occur at 11 year intervals at
the *beginning* of the calendar (11, 22, 33...99), then at 10 year
intervals (101, 111, 121...191, 202...292...909...999), then at 110 year
intervals for the next nine millennia (1001, , 1221...), then at 100
year intervals (10001, 10101, 10201... interleaved with 11011, 1,
