My post says pretty clearly what package is the problem. But it also says
that the problem arises from a choice made by Ubuntu in which version to
include.

[Bug 1816196] [NEW] okular version in repository is too old, and fails with embedded movies

2019-02-15 Thread jds
Public bug reported:

The okular version in the repositories is version 1.3.3,
but the current version is 1.7. The version in the repos is
more than a year old, and had known bugs at the time that
it was adopted there (apparently to the frustration of the
maintainers of okular). And this version, does not have
even the capabilities of the older version that was in the
repos for Ubuntu 16.04, at least as regards movies.  It is
a bit frustrating to have a functionality that worked 
beautifully for years, that then goes away, and there is no
apparent concern on anybody's part.

If you want one that is current and works with embedded movies,
you could try the snap package.  This version is a bit more
recent (1.6.6), but somehow is even worse, since it just crashes
if you try to run an embedded movie.  You might want to compile it.  
That was fun.  It required installing a bunch of stuff, being 
careful not to ruin my existing library.  Waited several hours
to compile, and then find out it didn't work for some reason.
I gave up after wasting more than a whole day. 

Could I somehow just go back to an old version that works?

[Bug 1597792] Re: plasmashell high CPU usage (100%+)

2016-09-18 Thread jds
While I am annoying everyone with my spleen venting, let me add one more
thing.  I can no longer mount my network shared folders automatically
either.  There is a nice new feature on dolphin to add these as samba
shares pretty easily.  But, this is not sufficient for Amarok to see
them.  They have to be mounted as if they were local directories, and
this has to be done by hand every time the computer is rebooted.  Then
amarok needs to start after doing this, or it will think all of the
music has been deleted.  Which means that it needs to be restarted by
hand.  Therefore none of the remote bits for amarok work either.  So,
now I have lost my music playing set up.  Neither Amarok nor logitech
work any more with this computer.

[Bug 1597792] Re: plasmashell high CPU usage (100%+)

2016-09-18 Thread jds
Adding to my comment.  My upgrade has been a mini-disaster.  First, the
upgrade from 14.04 repeatedly failed.  So, I just did a fresh install.
This was not too bad, because I had previously formatted my drive to
keep  home directories separate.  I also had an external backup.

Finally, I also used aptik to help install software.  That worked
partially, and mitigated the pain, somewhat.

However, now audio works only sporadically, and requires that I do an
"alsa force-reload" on a regular basis to get it to work.  I often have
to go to system settings to reset everything.  Sometimes that reset
isn't saved, and it still does not work.  Given that the problem is
sporadic, I am hesitant to ask for help, because that would require lots
of homework on my end, which I don't really have the time for right now.

Possibly related to this is that squeezesoft sometimes starts eating up
tons of resources, and I have to restart the service.

I also have your problem of plasma eating up lots of CPU and everything
is often slow.  Sometimes the whole screen just freezes for about 20
seconds, and I have to wait for even typing to catch up.  I have tried
some of the solutions on the web, but that hasn't worked.  I built this
particular desktop to be friendly with linux.  Since this is a fresh
install, the problems out of the starting box are particularly
disappointing.

I hate microsoft windows, and don't want to enter the closed ecosystem
of apple.  But, linux requires this constant sort of maintenance, that I
often need to avoid.  Fortunately, this desktop is my sort of test case
for such upgrades, and it did not really pass.  I have already spent way
too much time trying to get things working. I will avoid updating my
other machines to 16.04, and only update when the support on 14.04 runs
out.  Not sure what I will do then, but certainly try to find some
version that focuses more on stability.  Maybe Mint?

[Bug 1610293] [NEW] mic cartoon voice

2016-08-05 Thread jds
Public bug reported:

I have one sort of typical problem, and one very strange problem, both related 
to the audio. 
First the typical one, because, clearly, the strange one is the headlining act 
here. 

Typical kind of problem:  My system keeps changing from audio line out,
to hdmi out as the default choice, and I have to keep moving it back by
hand from systemsettings.  It seems to be related to squeezelite, but am
not sure.

Strange problem:  After updating to 16.04, my microphone transmits only
a strange, helium inflected  cartoon voice when I speak.  This strange
transmission works with arecord or ffmpeg from command line, and with
skype testing service.  The latter convinces me that it is not a
recording issue, but really a sound capture issue.  Pulseaudio will not
allow me to select my external microphone jack, though there is a
microphone plugged in.  It appears to use my webcam (logitech C310) mic.
There was no such problem last week under 14.04.  I cannot think of any
other tests to perform.  If it were allowed, I would upload a short
recording of my voice, primarily for your amusement.

A few details:

[Bug 965371] Re: HTTPS requests fail on sites which immediately close the connection if TLS 1.1 negotiation is attempted, on Ubuntu 12.04

2013-02-20 Thread JDS
@bradley-will: I appreciate the helpful suggestion, but the PHP libs I
am interested in are not in any way related to SOAP or PHP's
implementation of SoapClient.

The thing I'm interested in is LDAP. There is a chain of libraries that
PHP uses to get LDAPS working.

 PHP -> uses OpenLDAP -> which uses GnuTLS (On Ubuntu)

In the past, I tried recompiling OpenLDAP against OpenSSL, and this
fixed PHP, so I know that the chain I described is correct (well, is
correct for Ubuntu 10.04. I'm assuming it is true for 12.04 as well)

In any case, when OpenLDAP is recompiled against OpenSSL, the chain of
libs I'm interested in is:

 PHP -> uses OpenLDAP -> which uses OpenSSL

Is there a system-wide configuration way to force PHP's LDAP libs to use
TLSv1.0? So far I have not found an answer.

Finally, is there a way to get GnuTLS to work against the above
described SSL services? GnuTLS has similar problems connecting to SSL
services as described in this bug for OpenSSL. Is there a bug open for
GnuTLS somewhere about this?

Thanks

[Bug 965371] Re: HTTPS requests fail on sites which immediately close the connection if TLS 1.1 negotiation is attempted, on Ubuntu 12.04

2013-02-19 Thread JDS
This bug still exists in 12.04. My understanding of the technical
details of this bug is a bit shallow, so some of my questions, below,
may reflect that.

It affects other libraries which use or are recompiled against this
library.

In my case, I am having an issue with the OpenLDAP libs which suffer
from a similar bug that affects the GnuTLS libs. In earlier versions of
Ubuntu, I recompiled the libldap packages using OpenSSL libs. Now, that
is no longer successful.

What can be done as a workaround on a firewall or other SSL-enabled
service to make clients using this library work? Unfortunately, forcing
ldapsearch to use TLSv1.0 is not a configurable option that I could find
in either in GnuTLS, OpenLDAP, or OpenSSL.

So, to sum up, my questions are:

1) Is there any hope of having this be fixed "properly", where "properly" 
follows the "don't break userspace" philosophy?
2) What workarounds are there on the server end? What, for example, would have 
to happen to make a broken server work? Why do some SSL-enabled services work 
and some don't?
3) *Is* there a way to configure client libs to force TLSv1.0? The OpenSSL 
s_client has a CLI option, but I'm asking what can I put in, say, 
/etc/ldap/ldap.conf or /opt/ssl/ssl.conf or the like to force this?

I'm happy to provide additional debugging data as requested.

Thank you,
JDS

[Bug 1096927] [NEW] kate hangs desktop on login of saved session

2013-01-07 Thread jds
Public bug reported:

On Kubuntu 12.04.01 I had my settings to restart previous session on
boot.  It has now happened a couple of times where the desktop becomes
very dysfunctional upon login---the tray was frozen, many programs would
not start, etc.  I rebooted and the problem was still there, but I
noticed that there was a Kate process trying to start on boot, and never
showed up on the tray or elsewhere.  I found the process by ps, killed
it, and then the desktop returned to functioning as normal.   This has
now happened twice, so is somehow reproducible. However, it might be
that I was using Kate under gksudo when the computer previously shut
down.  I currently changed my settings not to restart the previous
session to avoid this bug.

kate version: 4:4.8.5-0ubuntu0.1, according to Muon.

I am having the same problem.  Thunderbird pegs one processor at near

causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you
have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See
http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details -  1: Could
not send message to GConf daemon: Process /usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconfd-2
exited, reason unknown)"

I had to forcibly reset the computer to get back control. I do not know
if that was related to this current problem, especially since when I had
that problem, all GTK apps started failing. Now, the problem appears to
be confined to gnome-terminal only.



- Ubuntu version: 
j...@vbox-ubuntu:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description:Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release:10.04


- gnome-terminal pacakge info:

[Bug 220575] Re: [MASTER] checking radio buttons or checkboxes doesn't work correctly

2008-07-07 Thread JDS
I have this bug. Here is a workaround!

Using KDE 3.5 on Ubuntu 8.04

The workaround is simple: Choose "Use another style" in the GTK Styles
and Fonts dialog.

In KDE, this would be here:

K-Menu->Settings->Control Center->Appearance & themes->GTK Styles and
Fonts->GTK Styles (the first box in the dialog)

Selecting "Use my KDE style in GTK Applications" will trigger the bug in
FF3. But NOT, as near as I can tell, in other GTK apps.

This is only a workaround! And, as always, thank you, the developers,
for the great Ubuntu product(s).

[Bug 192963] [NEW] Alltray "close button minimizes to notification area" does not work when window button arrangement has been chagned from default.

2008-02-18 Thread JDS
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: alltray

I like to have my window "close button" in the upper-left corner of my
windows, ala Mac OS.

Alltray seems to assume that the "close button" is always going to be
located in the upper-right corner of the window.

When I click on the close button, the app closes. But when I click on
the button that is in the upper-right corner of the window, the app
minimizes to the notification area.

The default window title/button order for Ubuntu is:

(Top Left  -- middle -- Top Right)
menu --  Title -- minimize;maximize;close

MY window title/button layout is:

(Top Left  -- middle -- Top Right)
close;menu --  Title -- minimize;maximize

Thus, when I click on the maximize button, the window actually minimizes
to notification area.

Steps to Reproduce:

1) Configure window buttons. For example, with gconf-editor, change
/apps/metacity/general -> button_layout
to
"close,menu:minimize,maximize"

2) "Alltray" an application

3) Click on upper-right window button

[Bug 90376] Re: Firefox https broken in some cases

2007-05-11 Thread JDS
FWIW, My wife was having the same problem.  I updated Firefox and it is
now fixed.

Another aspect of the problem was that the "saved passwords" list
(Edit->Preferences->Privacy->Passwords) was *BLANK*! But when I updated
the browser, the saved passwords list was restored.

Notes:

Updated browser details:
Broken: 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.10-0ubuntu0.6.06.2
Fixed: 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.11-0ubuntu0.6.06.1 (I think the minor version stuff is 
right, but the ".11" part is definitely right)
