This is not really a "Wish list" item, it's a package with completely

[Bug 1898182] [NEW] GooBook version 3.5 backporting required (SRU request)

2020-10-02 Thread Darren Davison
Public bug reported:


Goobook (https://gitlab.com/goobook/goobook) is a package that makes contact 
data from a google account available on the command line. It has no other 
purpose or features and is typically used in MUAs such as Mutt.


[Impact] 

 * The current version of goobook (3.4.1) in focal and groovy no longer works 
and has
   not worked for several weeks. This is because the method it uses to 
authenticate to 
   Google has been deprecated by them in favour of an alternative OAuth 
approach. See
   https://gitlab.com/goobook/goobook/-/issues/87

 * Justification for backporting the fix to the stable release is that all 
versions
   of goobook prior to 3.5 are now completely unusable.

[Test Case]

 * apt install goobook && goobook authenticate

[Regression Potential]

 * This package is currently not working at all due to the actions of a third 
party
   (Google). This change will make it work again in the way that it is designed 
to.

[Other Info]
 
 * Goobook is a trivial package that exists to serve a single purpose. It is 
presently
   completely unusable and will remain so until an upstream version of 3.5 or 
higher is
   packaged and included in the repositories.

 * The source tarball can be obtained upstream at:
   https://gitlab.com/goobook/goobook/-/archive/3.5/goobook-3.5.tar.gz


Thank you.

2016-01-25 Thread Darren Davison
I'm pretty sure the message notification panel is to blame.  I ran with
it disabled for several days a few weeks ago and I wasn't plagued by
this dialog on a single occasion.  Unfortunately, though I can do
without the notifications, I can't do without the volume control and for
some bizarre reason they are one and the same :/

If a few people could confirm that they see this behaviour disappear
when they unload the notification panel, at least someone could start
taking a look at the code/config that might be the cause of this
annoyance.

I think the advice to disable the polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 to
fix this is akin to advising someone to take the batteries out of their
smoke alarms to stop the annoying noise.

One of the other links in there has a more plausible angle though, which
is that it is to do with the message notification panel.  I'm running
with this disabled/removed to see if it is the likely culprit.

So that's 473 times the dialog appeared yesterday with no indication as

Still appears to be related to switching user sessions.

mentions that the symptoms are apparent after switching users and
switching back.  This is also the same for me on the desktop box where 2

[Bug 1512002] Re: Annoying dialog "Authentication is required to change your own user data"

2015-11-05 Thread Darren Davison
I recently installed 2 machines with Xubuntu 15.10 and I see this issue
very often, but not *always* on one of them (a desktop PC) and never on
the other (a laptop).

On the desktop machine, I simply hover over the dialog and hold my ESC
key down until it eventually goes away.  Like another responder said, it
seems to be time dependent and stores the events while the machine is
locked.  Typically takes a few seconds (so probably 30-40 cancellations
of the dialog) but the most recent one took over a minute (I'd estimate
the dialog re-appeared a couple of hundred times at least) although the
machine wasn't locked for significantly longer than before.

Once it disappears for the last time, it seems to stay away until the
next time the machine is locked/unlocked.

It's parent process is the xfce-session (in my case) so it's not obvious
what is actually triggering it to appear.  Entering the password
seemingly makes no difference to the persistent nature of the dialog.

2011-05-04 Thread Darren Davison
happens for me too - doing almost anything in ccsm causes the top panel,
or the launcher icons or both to become corrupt or invisible.  Only a
logout/login or a "compiz --replace" causes them to be restored (the
latter also causing all desktops to become shuffled and all terminal
windows to be resized and relocated).  It happens so often, it's almost
impossible not to trigger it.

Another good one is changing the ccsm setting for which windows have
shadows drawn (Window Decoration -> Shadow Windows).  I don't want
shadows on my conky window, but changing it from the default "any" to
pretty much anything else causes compiz to crash and restart not just
once, but every time a popup menu is displayed plus several other
events.  Worked fine in all previous releases.

Staggers me how much stuff is now just being rushed into Ubuntu with
little to no testing :(

[Bug 667841] Re: some virtual machines hang upon boot with maverick kernel on lucid host

2011-01-21 Thread Darren Davison
Hi Serge,

I created a new Lucid guest on a Maverick host, and now it works.  As
this is the first time I've tried this since commenting on the bug a few
months ago, I can only assume that one of the Maverick kernel updates,
or a lib-virt update in the meantime has fixed it.  To be sure, I need
to try with an old Lucid image (i.e. one I created under a Lucid host)
but will probably have to do that next week now.

Thanks for looking at this.

D.

2011-01-21 Thread Darren Davison
good call Steve.  I can confirm the flash worked fine on my UK R630-13T
also.  So far, I've been using the laptop on battery power for almost 10
minutes! (That's about nine minutes longer than the previous best).
Will report back later after it's discharged more.

For info (and I'll keep it brief as it's not part of the bug).. I ran
the t310v180.exe using wine, this extracts the contents (shut down the
program that starts up with it).  One of the files is a .iso - burn that
to a CD.  Reboot the laptop, holding down the "~" key at startup.  When
asked for media, insert CD and hit a key.  Update happens almost
immediately.  Remove CD, reboot, all good.

[Bug 667841] Re: some virtual machines hang upon boot with maverick kernel on lucid host

2010-11-03 Thread Darren Davison
confirmed for me.. after upgrading host machine from Lucid to Maverick
(Linux davisond-laptop 2.6.35-22-generic-pae #35-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 16
22:16:51 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux), none of my Lucid or Hardy VM guests
will boot, each hangs after grub stage 2 with "Starting..." on the
console while the host CPU runs at 100% until the VM is "Forced off".

Running non-Ubuntu VM guests on a maverick host seems to be OK (tried an
OpenSUSE and an IPCop image).

Cloning an existing Lucid VM makes no difference, the cloned guest
displays the same problem.

Creating a new Lucid guest on the maverick host works (successfully
installs from .iso media) but booting it causes it to hang BEFORE
loading grub at all (with the single "_" ) in the corner of the screen.

Note that all of the above uses disk images created with qemu's "raw"
format.  Converting the image type from raw to qcow2 makes no difference
(hangs at same point) and creating a new Lucid guest with a qcow2 backed
image shows the same behaviour as creating a new guest with a raw image
disk (hangs before grub loads).  So it seems not to be image format
related.

This is a blocker for me, I have to revert my host machine back to Lucid
as I need to run those VMs.  :(  I would say the importance is higher
than "medium".

confirm exact behaviour as noted by AlexW on my Dell M6300 with up to

Can additionally confirm that the acpi button/lid event does get fired,
and the /etc/acpi/lid.sh script runs even when suspend fails.
CheckPolicy will return 0 though since gnome-power-manager is running
and lid.sh will exit.  Does seem to be some oddity with GPM.

2009-04-17 Thread Darren Davison
@Mat: thanks for listening, I for one will now look forward to the
option to configure the dialogs and I will point anyone else I hear
complaining to your response.

But as has been pointed out, we're not all C developers, so there's
little else non-coders or non-C-coders *can* do.  Nor is anyone saying
that you *have* got 300 developers.

What's fueling some of the vitriolic comments in these threads, is not
the fact that it's the way it is, it's the fact that some Ubuntu
developers have had the brazen cheek to TELL users that they know better
what we want, and that their code is NOT configurable by design because
- hey, we're all just stupid after all and we should be grateful for the
choices they make.  If it were even possible to remove notify-osd
without breaking the ubuntu-desktop meta package, they just *might* have
a case by invoking the "you have a choice" argument.  But
unfortunately...

'Nuff said.  I look forward to a usable notify-osd :)

hint there guys.. *notification area*).

In the time wasted by developers attempting to justify the unjustifiable
in this - and other - bug reports, they could have added the option to
move the location already.  It's crass, idiotic, and downright insulting
to even *think* you know better than your target audience, let alone
come right out and say it.  I hope you guys that are spouting or
defending this rubbish never have to earn a living writing software for
paying customers (as I do).  You think the abuse you're getting here is
bad..?

[Bug 331369] Re: regression vs. notification-daemon: positioning when multiple screens are available

2009-04-13 Thread Darren Davison

@David
this is certainly not apparant in 0.9.11-0ubuntu1 on my setup.  I, like others 
in this thread, have a single panel at the bottom of the screen but 
notifications appear top right.  With  a 24" 1920x1200 setup, I rarely see them.

The focus-follow fix would be an improvement (any news on when that
might land?) but a configurable location would still be infinitely
preferable.  Bug 346095 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/notify-osd/+bug/346095) shows some of the strength of feeling about
this kind of thing.  It doesn't appear to be a dupe of this, but
probably should be.

Cheers,
Darren.

[Bug 178400] Re: [Hardy] Xorg high CPU usage with 2.6.24 kernel and nvidia-glx

2009-01-05 Thread Darren Davison
Intrepid installs 177.80 but be aware there are compatibility issues
with older cards (i.e. this driver only supports a limited set of more
recent nvidia hardware).  The command "aptitude show nvidia-glx-177"
will give you the supported list.

[Bug 178400] Re: [Hardy] Xorg high CPU usage with 2.6.24 kernel and nvidia-glx

2009-01-05 Thread Darren Davison
this issue disappeared for me when I upgraded to Intrepid.  My guess,
given all the info available, is that the nvidia driver is the culprit.
Intrepid has a later version (unless it has since been backported to
Hardy, but I don't think it has).

[Bug 144252] Re: [Gutsy] Upgrade to 2.6.22-12 causes iwl3945 to stop functioning

2007-09-27 Thread Darren Davison
I just (20 mins ago) did a dist-upgrade which included 2.6.22-12.  There
appears to be no iwl4965 module in this package so I have no wireless at
this kernel version.

guys, this may or may not be relevant but I just had 6 weeks of
frustration with wpa-roam under feisty.  The following might help you:

[Bug 37697] Re: wpasupplicant only authenticates immediately after atheros kernel modules freshly loaded.

2007-04-24 Thread Darren Davison
I've been seeing almost identical symptoms since upgrading to feisty
about 6 weeks ago.  However, this is with a Broadcom chipset using
either bcm43xx or ndiswrapper (it worked perfectly under edgy with
ndiswrapper).  I get very similar output in wpa_cli and see similar
symptoms with dhclient and the zeroed MAC addresses.  Some more detail
here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2527526

Any possibility that a regression has occurred somewhere?
