[Bug 1793007] Re: gnome-disk-image-mounter creates loopback device but it is not mounted automatically

2020-06-02 Thread Dave Rove
This bug is still valid in Ubuntu 20.04.

The utility creates the loopback device OK, but the mount sometimes
works and sometimes silently fails. This utility has no debug or
verbosity option, so there's no way for the end user to give useful
information about the failure. That's something that could be remedied
first if the devs have no idea why it fails.

[Bug 1849455] Re: Externally-opened files no longer open in existing window

2019-10-23 Thread Dave Rove
This bug even renders Kate's --pid  option dysfunctional, so there
seems to be no end-user workaround for this problem. Since the KDE devs
in the linked bug report above declined to do a "re-spin" and did indeed
"ship Kate like this", I'd be hugely grateful if the (K)Ubuntu devs
backported the above linked patch to 19.04. This bug really is
unfortunate.

[Bug 1825355] [NEW] Error message if installing Ubuntu 19.04 to pre-formatted partition

2019-04-18 Thread Dave Rove via ubuntu-bugs
Public bug reported:

The error message is generated if you format a partition before the
installation, then install Ubuntu 19.04 to that partition _without_
requesting it be formatted during the installation.

The pop-up message is:

"Error restoring installed applications.

"An error occurred while restoring previously-installed applications.
The installation will continue, but you may have to manually reinstall
some applications after the computer reboots."

Hit OK on that, and a message says that the installation is complete,
and the "restart now" button then boots the apparently undamaged Ubuntu
19.04 installation.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Before installation, format a hard-drive partition as ext4.
2. Begin installing Ubuntu (ubuntu-19.04-desktop-amd64.iso) from a flash drive.
3. At installer's "Installation type" step, select "Something else".
4. Select the previously formatted partition and set its mount point to "/".
5. Leave that partition's "format" box unchecked (the default).
6. Press "Install" and click through a warning about not formatting.
7. At the end of the installation, a popup says the installation has errors.

Presumably the error message is invoked because it assumes that if you
do not request that the partition be formatted, then you are installing
into a previous installation (i.e. upgrading) but something breaks at
the end of the installation when it can find no evidence of said
previous installation.

Formatting a partition _before_ the  installation is useful for
specifying specific file-system labels and UUIDs so that other operating
systems installed on the same PC may mount the partition as they did
previously, so this is probably a fairly common user-case.

I've had this same error appear for at least the past 5 years whenever 
installing a new release of Ubuntu, but since the process of establishing 
repeatable conditions for an installation problem that occurs at the _end_ of 
an installation is very time-consuming, it's only now that I've got around
to making sure that non-formatting the partition during the installation _is_ 
the issue. It is. The problem goes away if the partition is formatted during 
the installation.

There are pages of Google hits for the string "An error occurred while
restoring previously-installed applications". Users that read the error
message are understandably concerned, and ask how they find out which
applications need to be "manually installed" as per the message.

Here's two forum posts where the posters did eventually realize that
formatting the partition during the installation made the problem go
away:

[Bug 1614593] Re: gimp freezes at end of cage-base transform

2017-03-21 Thread Dave Rove
"Fix Released" status is incorrect.

This is not fixed upstream but still requires action by the package
maintainer.

As others have pointed out, the only way to fix this problem for GIMP
2.8 is to build it against GECL 0.2 as is done upstream rather than the
Ubuntu-special build against GECL 0.3. This problem will of course go
away with GIMP 2.10 whenever that day comes, but marking this build as
"fix released" means that it will remain broken in Ubuntu 17.04 and
probably 17.10 as well.

Affects Olimex CH340 USB-to-serial chips too.

Reverting to 3.13.0-63 restores normal function.

The new kernel 3.13.0-61 fixes the wine issue for me. So I think this
bug can be closed.

[Bug 1478844] Re: Last Kernel Update crash wine and other app like Firefox

2015-07-28 Thread Dave Rove
A workaround for the failure of wine with this latest kernel 3.13.0-59
is to start wineserver first from the command line, then start wine, and
it seems happy with that for some reason.
