[Bug 356856] [NEW] gedit is not restored properly by x-session-manager
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gedit I am using Xubuntu desktop (gdm, x-session-manager, xfwm4, etc.). Whenever I logout, I choose the option "Save session for future logins." Most applications (e.g., Firefox, gnome-terminal, evince) are restored properly when I login. However, more often than not, gedit is not restored. The following happens: 1. After login, the gedit process is running, but no window is visible anywhere. 2. If I try to launch gedit, the gedit process crashes with the following messages: ** (gedit:5583): CRITICAL **: _gedit_app_get_window_in_viewport: assertion `GEDIT_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed ** (gedit:5583): CRITICAL **: gedit_window_get_active_document: assertion `GEDIT_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed ** (gedit:5583): CRITICAL **: gedit_window_create_tab: assertion `GEDIT_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed 3. If I now launch gedit again, the editor starts as usual. Sometimes gedit is restored properly by x-session-manager, the editor window is visible and I can use it immediately.

[Bug 189506] Re: Normal user can't access USB camera Error (-53: 'Could not claim the USB device')
On my computer, gphoto2 used to work fine for normal users (as long as they were members of the "plugdev" group). The previous time I tried it was on 19 April 2008, with an up-to-date (k)ubuntu; it worked fine. Nowadays, this is no longer the case. Presumably it broke down when I upgraded to Kubunut 8.04.

(Likely it would be the same case for a Gnome session; I don't have Gnome installed so I cannot tell.) - If I log out from KDE and try to use gphoto2 from a text console, I get the "operation not permitted" error mentioned in this bug report. - If other users try to use gphoto2 (e.g., via ssh), they get the same error, even if I have a KDE session running.

[Bug 60670] Re: kate silently corrupts iso-8859-1 files in utf-8 locale
Some further comments regarding the behaviour of the latest version of Kate (2.5.6) in Kubuntu. As I have learned that Kate corrupts iso-8859-1 files in UTF-8 locale, I have tried to make sure that Kate gets the encoding right by adding "kate: encoding ..." directives in some files. However, this leads into yet another trouble. The following happens quite often; I am using a UTF-8 locale: - I have an iso-8859-1 encoded file which is created somewhere else. The file might be, for example, a Latex source code; it contains the directive "% kate: encoding iso-8859-1" near the beginning of the file and it also contains some non-ASCII characters encoded in iso-8859-1. - I open the file in Kate (usually a Kate instance is already running; I open files using "kate -u file.tex" from the command line). - At this point I _should_ notice that the file is displayed using the wrong encoding; non-ASCII characters are shown as squares. However, this is very easy to miss if there are only few non-ASCII characters in the file, especially if none of them are near the beginning of the file but hidden somewhere in the middle of a long file. - Therefore I simply start editing the file. I do changes here and there and finally decide to save the changes. At this point Kate complains that "the selected encoding cannot encode every Unicode character in the file". - Now I notice that all non-ASCII characters are indeed displayed as squares. However, Tools / Encoding shows that iso-8859-1 is selected! The trouble is that even though Tools / Encoding show iso-8859-1, Kate did not properly read the file in this encoding. An now I am in trouble. At this point I cannot reselect Tools / Encoding / iso-8859-1; Kate would like to discard the changes and re-read the original file. And I cannot even copy & paste the file into a new window and save it with the correct encoding, because non-ASCII characters are garbage. I have to re-open the file with the correct encoding and manually copy & paste just those parts where I have done editing. Or something like that. There is a workaround, but it is hard to remember that this must be done every time: - Check that non-ASCII characters (if any) are displayed correctly. If not, re-select Tools / Encoding / iso-8859-1 immediately after opening the file. It seems that Kate remembers the correct setting for each file; therefore if I do this once for a particular file (or if the file is originally created with Kate on this computer), things work fine. -- kate silently corrupts iso-8859-1 files in utf-8 locale https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/60670 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a bug contact for kdebase in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

[Bug 107796] Kate + DejaVu Sans no longer works
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kate After today's update to the new version of Kubuntu, I noticed that fonts in Kate look bad (too light, fuzzy) and display is distorted (extra whitespace, cursor is not placed exactly between the characters, etc.) I was using DejaVu Sans fonts. It seems that there is a new font variant "Light" in addition to "Normal" and "Bold", which might cause the problems. Toggling bold on/off for each style fixed some of the problems but not all of them: the fonts look normal but the display is still somewhat distorted. Switching to Bitstream Vera Sans helps.

[Bug 61331] Re: [edgy] extremely bold ttf fonts in kubuntu (edgy)
I confirm this problem. For me it happened with all DejaVu fonts. Specifically, the font rendering engine did not seem to use hints; for example, the vertical bars of the letters were no longer aligned with screen pixels and the result was hard-to-read and blurry (and, in many cases, the fonts looked bolder than usually). Worked fine in Kubuntu 6.06, broke when I updated (with apt-get) to Kubuntu 6.10. Changing the hinting level in the KDE font settings from medium to full indeed solves the problem. However, I would like to emphasise that the medium level used to be the default setting; thus, I think a large number of users have ~/.fonts.conf files with settings that used to work but no longer work. I wonder if all of them can figure out how to fix the problem.

In this list, the first one is the correct spelling (flagged as incorrect by OpenOffice.org); the second one is the wrong suggestion: "allekirjoitus" -> "alle kirjoitus" "opinnäytteet" -> "opin näytteet" "opiskelijapalaute" -> "opiskelija palaute" "työtehtävät" -> "työ tehtävät" "työtehtävissä" -> "työ tehtävissä" "työympäristö" -> "työ ympäristö" "urakehitykselle" -> "ura kehitykselle" Not knowing a word is natural; making incorrect suggestions is not. Yes, I can easily imagine _why_ the spell checker makes such recommendations, but it just does not work in the case of Finnish. In these kinds of cases, not all native Finnish speakers know which one is the correct spelling. I am worried if someone actually believes these suggestions. A simple fix would be to disable the Finnish spell checker in the default installation, until it works well enough. Platform: latest Kubuntu; I have used the Language Support tool to install support for Finnish and English. All settings in OpenOffice.org should be in their default values; I do not think I have done anything to configure any spell checkers. PS. Just for fun, had to test this one: "Lappeenranta" -> "Lappeen ranta" ** Affects: openoffice.org (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- The Finnish spell checker in OpenOffice.org does more harm than good https://launchpad.net/bugs/63127 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 61715] kmail: search tries to access nonexisting mailboxes
Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: kmail
The following Kmail bug that occurred in Debian also occurs in Kubuntu:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=384863
For reference, I copy the original bug report here.
---
On my IMAP account, I have folders "INBOX.foo.bar" and "INBOX.foo.baz"
but I do not have a folder "INBOX.foo".
Mostly, kmail handles this properly. The folder browser tree shows
INBOX/foo in gray (while, e.g., INBOX/foo/bar is blue). The "subscribe"
option does not show any checkbox next to INBOX/foo. And so on.
However, the search function does not seem to handle this ok. Every time
I perform a recursive search ("INBOX" and all its subfolders), I get the
following error message:
"Error while searching.
Unable to open folder INBOX.foo. The server replied: Mailbox does not exist, or
must be subscribed to."

[Bug 60683] konversation silently discards some messages (irc channels with non-ascii characters)
Public bug reported: Steps to reproduce: - Set the character encoding in Konversation to utf-8. - Join an IRC channel with a non-ASCII character in its name, say, "#testä" (the channel name is in utf-8). - Using another IRC client, send a message which is not a valid utf-8 message (say, something with non-ASCII characters encoded latin-1) to "#testä" (naturally the channel name has to be in utf-8). - Konversation silently discards the message. I would expect one of the following: 1) Konversation shows the message with the broken characters replaced by some "invalid character marker". 2) Konversation guesses the correct encoding of the message and shows it correctly. (It seems that this is what happens in the case of channels with only ASCII characters in their names.) 3) Konversation show at least something; a warning in the status window if nothing else.

[Bug 60681] konversation does not show what is actually sent
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: konversation If Konversation is configured to use iso-8859-1 character set, and if I enter a message with some characters outside this character set, the following seems to happen: - Konversation silently translates the non-iso-8859-1 characters to "?" when it sends the message to the server. - However, the chat window, the irc log, etc. show the original message. Thus, one never knows what the other people actually see, especially if some text is copy-pasted from somewhere else, and it contains characters that look similar to normal iso-8859-1 characters. I would expect one of the following: 1) Konversation does the translation and shows the result in the chat window. 2) Konversation gives a warning, highlights the problems, and lets me edit the message.

[Bug 60670] kate silently corrupts iso-8859-1 files in utf-8 locale
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kate If I open a binary file in kate, it gives a warning that saving the file will corrupt it. Fine. However, if I work in a utf-8 locale, open an iso-8859-1 encoded file in kate, and save it, it will be corrupted. Each non-ASCII character (that does not happen to form a valid utf-8 encoded character) is changed into an "invalid character" marker. Simply opening and saving the file is enough to lose all non-ASCII characters, and no warning is given. Switching to the right encoding after opening the file naturally helps, if only one remembers to do it. If the files are in English, there may be only a few non-ASCII characters in the files, making them easy to miss until it is too late. ** Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- kate silently corrupts iso-8859-1 files in utf-8 locale https://launchpad.net/bugs/60670 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 60669] multibib support in rubber is buggy
Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: rubber
I have noticed the following problems in the "multibib" support in
rubber (Ubuntu package rubber, version 1.0-1; some of these problems
seem to be also present in the upstream version 1.1):
1) Write a Latex document foo.tex that uses multibib bibliographies.
Even if everything works fine, "rubber -Wall foo.tex" and "rubber-info
foo.tex" report a number of warnings, "Citation `xxx' undefined" for
each multibib citation xxx. However, the dvi, ps, pdf etc. are perfect.
Forcing a new run by "rubber -f -Wall foo.tex" fixes the problem.
2) Compile a document that uses multibib. Add "\newcites{x}{X}" in the
source. Rubber dies with "IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'x.aux'". Cleaning all generated files helps.
3a) Add "\newcites{x}{X}" but do not add any \citex, \bibliographyx or
such. Run "rubber -Wall foo.tex". It compiles foo.tex, tries to run
bibtex x, and stops. The bibtex process fails and rubber aborts;
however, no error message is printed to the user, not even with -Wall.
Running rubber again generates dvi, ps, pdf, and whatever was requested,
but all multibib bibliographies are missing. This is user's error, but
rubber could tell it, instead of failing silently.
3b) Use \bibliographyx{foo} such that foo.bib is missing. Similar result
as in the case 3a: bibtex fails, rubber aborts, but no error message is
printed.
4) Rubber does not understand the syntax \newcites{x,y}{X,Y}; one has to
write \newcites{x}{X}\newcites{y}{Y}. In the case of the former, rubber
tries to read a file called "x,y.aux".
5) The option "bibtex.path" is not used in multibib bibliographies.
Combined with 3b, the user experience is highly confusing.

[Bug 59264] Re: kate restored on the wrong virtual desktop
I have not touched any settings that are related to sessions in KDE (this is a new installation of Kubuntu). I do not know whether the session is considered "continued" or "new". When I logout and login, the session is automatically _mostly_ restored to its previous state. I would expect that it should be _completely_ restored to its previous state. The only visible problem is that kate is restored on the wrong virtual desktop (not the virtual desktop where kate was running but the virtual desktop that was visible on logout, I guess). All other applications are restored on those virtual desktops where they were running on logout. -- kate restored on the wrong virtual desktop https://launchpad.net/bugs/59264 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 59271] subversion-tools depends on exim4 | mail-transport-agent
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: subversion-tools "subversion-tools" depends on "exim4 | mail-transport-agent". Sure, some of the hook scripts provided in the package do need a mail- transport-agent. However, I would assume that if someone actually started using those particular scripts, she would understand that she needs an MTA. Or she would at least notice it very soon. This could also be documented in, say, /usr/share/subversion/hook-scripts/README. The package provides, among others, a useful program "svn_load_dirs". However, to get this program (which, as far as I can see, does not use an MTA), one has to install an MTA. This is a really heavy-weight dependency for something that simple. The default installation of Kubuntu does not seem to contain any MTA. I am really happy with that (thanks to the team for great work!) and I would really like to see that an MTA is not pulled in unless it is absolutely necessary. ** Affects: subversion (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- subversion-tools depends on exim4 | mail-transport-agent https://launchpad.net/bugs/59271 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
