[Bug 460768] Re: I can not paste a calc sheet as a database table
I just ran into this error message. In my case, I got it working by adding the name of the database plus a period to the new table's name. So, if you want a table named "Table1" in database "thedb", just make sure the "Table name" is set to "thedb.Table1" in the data-pasting wizard. Hope that helps! If others see this same behavior, I think it may be a usability bug. When right-clicking an existing table in the "Tables" panel to paste data, it usefully gives "exampledb.existingtable" (modified appropriately) as the table name, so you can append data to the table using the wizard. If you right-click on a database in the same panel, however, it just gives "Table1" (or something similar) as the table name, assigning it to no database; not even the one you right-clicked, which seems to lead to this mostly-unhelpful error. There's one fix I can think of that should be fairly easy for any devs getting this message: use "exampledb.Table1" as the default name, with "exampledb" replaced by the right-clicked database's name, if it's not too much trouble. More ambitiously, one could change the wizard to have the database and table names as separate entries, possibly with the database being uneditable. -- I can not paste a calc sheet as a database table https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/460768 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 257894] Re: VGA-out dies after a while on Eee 1000H
So I ended up getting more black screens, but they were much more rare. I have been using xrandr --fb 1280x1024 --output VGA --auto --output LVDS --off to turn on the VGA screen and turn off the laptop's screen, and I've been running it with the laptop lid closed. Now, for two days in a row, I've been leaving the laptop's screen on with just xrandr --fb 1280x1024 --output VGA --auto and I haven't had any black screens or flickering. If I turn off LVDS, it flickers within 5 minutes. When I turn it back on again (with the lid still closed), I never witness any flickering. I'm still using the same version of the PPA driver that I mentioned above. Is there something else I should try, knowing that? Does leaving the internal screen "on" appear to fix or not fix the problem for anyone else? -- VGA-out dies after a while on Eee 1000H https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257894 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 257894] Re: VGA-out dies after a while on Eee 1000H
I'm seeing this same problem on a Toshiba Satellite U205-S5057. The VGA screen goes black anywhere from a few seconds to several hours after I log in. (For the longer times, the VGA output flickers horizontally every so often; I'm not sure what the time interval is.) I noticed that daemon.log shows scim-bridge quitting right before the display goes black (see below), and this behavior started around the time that I enabled scim-bridge, so I will see if disabling it fixes the problem. I could be a coincidence, though, because I also got some updates around the same time. Is anyone else here using scim-bridge and seeing similar output in daemon.log? Additionally, when the VGA screen goes black, I use xrandr --output LVDS --auto to turn the built-in screen back on. When I try xrandr --output VGA --off I get dumped back to the login screen as if I had hit ctrl+alt+backspace.

[Bug 254268] Re: closing search bar deletes highlighted text
Sorry for the long reply time, and thanks for keeping at it, Benjamin! After some more testing with the Intrepid RC, I've decided that they fixed whatever this bug was, at least as far as I can tell. It seems they disabled my sneaky way of choosing scim-bridge as the input method in KDE4, but I've figured out how to use Skim to properly enter Chinese and Japanese text into KDE4 applications (Dolphin, Konsole, Konqueror, Kate, ...), KDE3 applications (Amarok, ...), GTK applications (GIMP), and whatever OpenOffice.org uses (also GTK?). Here's how to do it with a clean boot from the Kubuntu Intrepid Ibex release candidate i386 desktop CD: -Run "sudo aptitude install scim-anthy scim-tables-zh skim", which will install Japanese input support, Chinese input support (there might be a better one; I'm not that familiar with Chinese input methods), and the Skim GUI, along with their supporting packages. -Restart X. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace will do just fine. There may be another way to make scim recognize the new input methods, but this works for me. -Start Skim. -Run "im-switch -c", and choose scim-bridge from the menu. If you like how things work, you should be able to set it as the default, but I haven't tried. -Start the application in which you want to enter the text. -Choose your input method and start typing! I was able to enter English, Chinese, and Japanese text into applications using several different toolkits (APIs?) without encountering any of the bugs discussed in this report. The only oddity I noticed was that, when right-clicking in text fields in Amarok and GIMP to see which input method was active, Amarok said "XIM", and GIMP said "System", even though im-switch still reported "scim-bridge". Input works properly with this setup, though, so I'm not complaining much. Assuming it's solved for others, too, thanks to whoever helped fix this! -- closing search bar deletes highlighted text https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/254268 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 254268] Re: closing search bar deletes highlighted text
I got the bug to show up on a fresh boot from the Kubuntu Intrepid Beta Desktop i386 CD. Without installing any packages on top of the default ones, right-click on a single-line input box in any (?) application, and click "Select IM", followed by "scim-bridge". (The default IM is xim, and this bug doesn't occur when it's selected.) The IM change seems to be registered throughout the application, so click in any text field in that application, type something, select part or all of it, switch to another application (pressing alt+F2 will do), and switch back. In the KDE4 versions of Dolphin, Kate, Adept, System Settings, and Konqueror (and probably others), the selected text will be deleted. Additionally, in Dolphin, trying to rename a file deletes all text that's automatically selected (anything before a dot for a regular file.) In Kate, you can click on other panes instead of other applications since doing so doesn't deselect text in the editing pane. In Konqueror, there's even more weird behavior: in web forms' text- entry fields (such as this one that I'm typing in right now, or the search field on Google's website), double-clicking will select a word, but the old selected text will be deleted; triple-clicking will delete the whole line, even if no text was selected beforehand. This bug is not present in Open Office or Amarok 1.4.10 (the KDE 3 version), both of which are installed by default on the Intrepid CD. You can still select scim-bridge as the IM, but selected text won't be deleted as above. I was able to type in Japanese with no problems using Anthy and scim- bridge for input in all applications (on a previous boot from the CD), but this bug was still present. The problem seems to be only in scim- bridge-client-kde4, or maybe in the way that it and KDE4 applications connect. If anyone can test this bug with a fully-updated Intrepid install (including a reboot, just in case), please post your results. -- closing search bar deletes highlighted text https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/254268 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 254268] Re: closing search bar deletes highlighted text
Here's a bug in scim-bridge that looks like the same thing: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/250046 Benjamin, could you try installing scim-bridge-client-qt4 and see if the bug returns for you, too? When I uninstalled that package again, the bug vanished, so you should be safe. If you see the same behavior, I think it's safe to say that that's where the problem lies, and we should probably both post our experiences (or at least link to this report) in the one I indicated above. Or if you find another report about this that looks better-developed, post a link here.

[Bug 254268] Re: closing search bar deletes highlighted text
AHA! I finally figured out what was causing this bug! (Or at least found a clue...) Both 4:4.1.2-0ubuntu1 on the Intrepid beta CD (i386) as well as the 4:4.1.2-0ubuntu1~hardy1~ppa1 that's installed on my Hardy machine worked perfectly (this bug is was not present), so I was about ready to call if fixed. Then I remembered a bug I was getting in Dolphin-kde4 where the file renaming dialog would instantly blank itself out. Removing scim- bridge-client-qt4 from the system had fixed that issue, which I assumed was a configuration error on my part, and it didn't occur to me that this bug was related. After reinstalling scim-bridge-client-qt4 (0.4.14-1ubuntu2) on my Hardy machine, both bugs reappear. I am unable to test it on Intrepid at the moment, but I'll check on that and report back here as soon as I do. If this bug is moved to scim-bridge-client-qt4, it might also be useful to know that I'm using these two packages with scim: scim-anthy 1.2.4-1ubuntu2 anthy 9100d-1 Otherwise, I'll check over there for related bugs and post a link to this one. -- closing search bar deletes highlighted text https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/254268 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Just thought I'd add that only selected text is deleted, nothing happens if no text is selected, and using the undo function successfully recovers the deleted text. It happens both in kde3 (using kwin from kde3 or kde4) and in kde4. My guess is that some keycode is being sent to the text pane whenever it gets focus, and that it's being handled incorrectly, but I wouldn't even know where to begin looking in the code for something like that. -- closing search bar deletes highlighted text https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/254268 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 254268] Re: closing search bar deletes highlighted text
I can confirm that this happens, both when closing "find" and when switching documents. It also seems to happen whenever the text pane gets focus. To reproduce, select any text in the text pane, then: -switch to another task and back to Kate by alt-tabbing -switch to another task and back to Kate by clicking anywhere (as far as I've tried) on the Kate window -click on any other pane within Kate (terminal, filesystem browser, documents, find, find in files, ...) and click back on the text pane The text will be deleted as soon as the text pane gets focus. It doesn't delete the text when you exit from Kate's menus or dialog boxes. Also, if you select text and switch to another pane within Kate, none of the above actions will delete the selected text, but switching back to the text pane after all that will. As far as versions go: Kate reports "Version 3.1.0" and "Using KDE 4.1.00 (KDE 4.1.0)" Synaptic reports "kate-kde4" version "4:4.1.0-0ubuntu1~hardy1~ppa2" (using "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu/ hardy main") I also remember the selected text being deleted when alt-tabbing back to Kate during various KDE 4.0 releases and prereleases. -- closing search bar deletes highlighted text https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/254268 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
