[Bug 1728012] Re: Many 3rd party scanner drivers are broken by a sane change

2018-11-16 Thread James C March
@luca.mg Your suggestion in comment #157 worked! I had to install
libsane-extras (and libsane-common) using Synaptic Package Manager. Not
sure why those weren't already part of the install. I also added the
line "brother4" to the file /etc/sane.d/dll.d/libsane-extras. Now my
home wifi networked Brother MFC-J470DW scanner (brscan4) shows up and
works with XSANE and Simple Scan! Thank you!

2015-05-27 Thread James C. Davis
I was able to get a2dp working in 15.04 by editing /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf 
and uncommenting AutoConnect=true under [General] then restarting the bluetooth 
service with: systemctl restart bluetooth.service
After doing this, my bluetooth headset connected using the a2dp profile 
automatically.

[Bug 1204530] Re: yppasswd results in a segmentation fault when run on clients or server

2013-12-05 Thread James C. West
As I looked back at everything I did before I see that I had tested the
updates in Virtualbox using the 32 bit Xubuntu releases. For the 32 bit
releases the segmentation violation began when I updated the client from
12.10 to 13.04. I reran the same experiment in virtualbox  last night
and still got the same behavior with the 32 bit releases: current
release of 12.04 LTS on the server works, 12.10 works, 13.04 fails.

I have an older CD burned that I labeled Xubuntu 64 bit 12.04.1 LTS
available. I'll try the same experiment starting with that one when I
get some time to get a 64 bit virtualbox running on my current platform.

[Bug 1204530] Re: yppasswd results in a segmentation fault when run on clients or server

2013-12-03 Thread James C. West
It was whatever was available in July. I installed two XUbuntu 12.04.?
LTS systems under VirtualBbx and confirmed then that it worked before
making the bug report. I also updated both virtual systems through 12.10
and 13.04. As I recall, the problem began when the client system was
updated to 13.04. (Wish I had posted the results of that experiment.)

For the record, I have the same problem with Saucy 13.10.

2013-12-03 Thread James C. West
A quick additional thought...I may have started with the original
release of 12.04 LTS from a disk I made in April 2012 and not made any
updates before I did the VirtualBox experiment. I may try the same thing
again today if I have time.

[Bug 1204530] [NEW] yppasswd results in a segmentation fault when run on clients or server

2013-07-24 Thread James C. West
Public bug reported:

Sample output from a client (output is identical if run on the server):

$ yppasswd
Changing NIS account information for  on .
Please enter old password:
Changing NIS password for  on .
Please enter new password:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
$


This setup worked fine with the 12.04 LTS release. I've purged package nis a 
number of times and reinstalled and still get the same behavior. I've also 
removed a slave server from the network and reconfigured nis and still get the 
same behavior.

I thought about listing this as a security vulnerability since the users
cannot change their passwords.

[Bug 335476] [NEW] no way to give /commands from chat window

2009-02-27 Thread James-C
Public bug reported:


I've logged into an IRC server using empathy and telepathy-idle.

I enter a room and chatting is fine.

I can do /me command to emote something

but I can't do any of the other standard  IRC commands like: /help or
/join or /list or /quit etc.

For example there is no way to join a room that requires a password in empathy 
*except* by going
/join #roomName password 
but of course because / commands are not understood it is impossible to do this.

Recommendation: either empathy or telepathy-idle (not sure which one
controls reading and passing of / commands) should forward any text
starting with / as a command to the server, not a chat message.

[Bug 248376] [NEW] VMWare server causes keyboard problems in ubuntu host

2008-07-14 Thread James-C
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: vmware-server


Running VMWare-server, current Ubuntu Hardy with all patches up to this date, 
with a pre-made WinXP guest operating system VM, causes all sorts of 
keyboard-related problems when I swap between the guest operating system and 
the host.  I.e. I use the host operating system and suddenly can't type capital 
letters, other keys accidentally shut windows, minimize windows, etc. while 
attempting to use any other applications.  

Selecting a different keyboard layout (say US Keyboard variant) , and
then reverting (back to UK keyboard layout) makes the problem go away
until the guest operating system is accessed again.  During this all
keys work as expected when the guest operating system has focus.

I post it in case it is indicative of some problem in Gnome's keyboard
handling or the vmware-server package, or in case someone is looking for
a  workaround. (i.e. select different keyboard layout, apply, select
original keyboard layout, apply.)

Non-critical, but annoying.

[Bug 248372] [NEW] Nautilus crash makes desktop icons and right-click vanish until restart

2008-07-14 Thread James-C
Public bug reported:

Nautilus crashed on me recently and later I noticed all icons
disappeared from the gnome desktop, (current ubuntu hardy with all
updates to this date).  In addition right-clicking on the desktop
wouldn't work (and similar things like rubber-band selecting icons
(which weren't displayed in any case)).   After a reboot, removing any
tmp files, full shutdown and reboot, and restarting and trying
everything else I could think of, if I started nautilus from a gnome-
terminal, and shut it down again properly and my icons, right-click
abilities, etc.  returned.  I'm unable to duplicate this (how do I force
nautilus to crash poorly to begin with? I don't remember what I was
doing!)  I post this bug in case it is useful to pass upstream and as a
record in case anyone else encounters the same problem.  The clue to
restart nautilus was given by this old fedora post:
http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Fedora/2004-07/5596.html and I
thought it worth trying.

Bug exists but is non-critical, but impacts ability for inexperienced
user to use the gnome UI.  I'm not entirely sure the nautilus is the
source of the bug, but restarting it cured the symptoms.  It might be a
GDM bug.  Sorry that this isn't very helpful.

[Bug 231157] [NEW] gmountiso asks for root password

2008-05-16 Thread James-C
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gmountiso


When mounting an iso gmountiso asks for the root password rather than 'your 
password' or similar.  Many users might be confused about what password to put 
in.  Simple fix: change phrasing to be 'your password' or whatever the same 
thing in most apps is. ('password for $username' or similar)

I'm assuming this is on all versions of ubuntu, but I'm using the
gmountiso package from Hardy.   gmountiso version 0.4-0ubuntu2.  This is
a universe package so maybe should be passed upstream or at least to the
ubuntu packager.

[Bug 223481] Re: Unable to Mute or raise/lower volume after upgrade to Hardy

2008-04-27 Thread James-C

Note: This is solved by switching back to ALSA by doing:

sudo apt-get install module-assistant
sudo m-a update
sudo m-a prepare
sudo m-a a-i alsa
and reboot

But the point being one shouldn't have to revert back to alsa.

[Bug 223481] [NEW] Unable to Mute or raise/lower volume after upgrade to Hardy

2008-04-27 Thread James-C
Public bug reported:

I've just upgraded one of my machines to Ubuntu 8.04 and something
seems to be wrong with the sound.  Needless to say it was working fine
before, but now I get sound, but I'm unable to control it, i.e. I'm
unable to raise/lower or mute it.  I.e. if I open volume control and
try to lower the volume bars they just jump back up to the top.  This
is fairly important for this machine because it also acts as a mythtv
frontend.

The output of "alsamixer":

alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: No such file or directory

and "lsmod |grep snd":

~$ lsmod |grep snd
snd_hda_intel 344728  0

And "$ lspci |grep Audio" is:

00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio

and output of  "$ aplay -l" is:

 Subdevices: 1/1
 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Just in case any of that helps.

Any suggestions appreciated!

[Bug 178715] Re: [Sync request] Please sync gallery2 2.2.4-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

2007-12-30 Thread James-C
Could I add another voice in support of this?

This shouldn't just be wishlist ... 2.2.4 adds significant security
fixes after a complete professional security audit including:

*  Added protection from brute force attacks on setup and account passwords.
* Added protection from "Cross Site Request Forgery" attacks.
* Added protection from "Cross Site Scripting" through item titles, 
summaries and description (only applies to the non-default HTML markup). 
* Added protection from "HTTP Response Splitting" attacks.
* Fixed information disclosure through application errors.
* Hardened Session Handling in upgrade, install and support area.

[Bug 75286] Re: Crash on startup -- possible cause / workaround

2007-11-27 Thread James-C

Ok, reading through other bugs (64614) I noticed that some people have problems 
with assistive technologies and thunderbird.

I went to System -> Preferences -> Accessibility -> Assistive Technology
Preferences and unchecked 'enable assistive technologies'.

As soon as I did that (no restart of gdm or anything) thunderbird worked
again fine without me needing to run it as root.

To test I shut thunderbird, and went back to the same menu and re-
enabled it, trying thunderbird again and it wouldn't start again.  Going
back and disabling assistive technologies and instantly it is able to
start up without problems.

Hurrah!  Ok, a problem for those who need the assistive technologies,
but I don't even remember when I turned them on.

Best,
-James

[Bug 75286] Re: Crash on startup

2007-11-23 Thread James-C
I'm having this problem as well.  I've not installed any new extensions,
and not upgraded anything that should affect mozilla.  I'm still running
Feisty (and not able to upgrade this machine for awhile).

The error is:

GTK Accessibility Module initialized
DOUBLE-CLICK: 400 --> -1 THRESHOLD: 8 --> -1 
(Gecko:9062): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: gsignal.c:1019: unable to lookup signal

All files in the profile are owned by me,  using -safe-mode has no
effect.

Starting thunderbird as root (sudo mozilla-thunderbird) does seem to
work around the problem, but I've not tested what other side effects
this might have.

An strace was 15 meg so I didn't upload it... do you only need the last
X number of lines or the whole thing?

[Bug 116161] upload_max_filesize should be larger in default php.ini

2007-05-22 Thread James-C
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: php5

The variable "upload_max_filesize" should be set to a larger default
value in  /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini because this causes numerous
problems in php5 application software such as the gallery2 package.  The
current default is 2M and most photographs these days are larger than 2
meg... thus any time a system upgrade overwrites php.ini this value is
reverted and leads to a flurry of support requests with such programs.
While users can avoid this by choosing not to have php.ini overwritten
during an upgrade, most wouldn't bother to pay attention.

To solve the problem, I'd suggest upping the default value to something
just slightly larger which would encompass a larger number of modern
photo sizes and thus not cause so many problems. Perhaps something like:

upload_max_filesize = 10M

(or perhaps 5 if you really are worried about the minor difference in
security)

I realize this might be an upstream default, so please pass upstream if
necessary.

Is there any chance of a later version being backported into dapper?  If

go compile it from source for my own use, but I'd really rather prefer

Although 1.6 or 1.7 would be *nice* since 1.5 is in edgy, is it possible
