[Bug 1313389] Re: Installing gccgo-4.9 breaks clang++

2015-05-31 Thread Robert Knight
The same issue occurs with gccgo-5 on Ubuntu 15.04, this time installing
gccgo-5 causes a partial installation of GCC 5 to be installed. clang++
then tries to use the partial GCC 5 install instead of GCC 4.9 and fails
because libstdc++ is missing from the GCC 5 partial installation in
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5.0.1


** Also affects: llvm-toolchain-3.6 (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
   Status: New

** Summary changed:

- Installing gccgo-4.9 breaks clang++
+ Installing gccgo breaks clang++

** Tags added: vivid

** Description changed:

  The clang++ driver will not find standard C++ headers and the libstdc++
  library when there is gccgo-4.9 package installed as well. This appears
  to be due to gccgo-4.9 installing few things into
  /usr/bin/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.9. The clang++ driver sees this
  directory and thinks it contains full C++ headers and run time
  installation when it does not, because there are only some parts
  relevant to gccgo-4.9. Uninstalling gccgo-4.9 fixes the issue because
  clang++ then finds only the 4.8 directory and uses that.
  
+ The same issue occurs with gccgo-5 and GCC 5, which installs a partial
+ GCC 5 installation, enough for the clang++ driver to try to use it but
+ not including libstdc++ so clang++ fails to build.

[Bug 701294] Re: Always show menu bar for non-maximised windows

2011-08-30 Thread Robert Knight
(User perspective, in reference to the version of Unity in 11.04)

Hiding the menu bar for non-maximised windows slows down accessing the
menus because I don't know where a specific menu ('File', 'View',
'Tools' etc.) is going to be, so I have to move the mouse up into the
menu and then 'browse around' to find the one I want.  This is
especially true for less-frequently used applications.

The 'browsing around' in the menu part is even more problematic because
moving the mouse horizontally whilst keeping it in roughly the same
vertical position - ie. without accidentally moving it below the menu
bar, can be fiddly.

I'm not going to ask for a config option here, it needs to be fixed in
the 'default experience'.

[Bug 203016] Re: Memory Leak in NetworkManager

2008-06-24 Thread Robert Knight
This may be related - Running NetworkManager under valgrind reported a memory 
leak 
of about ~1MB after running NM for a few minutes with the return value of 
nm_dbus_escape_object_path_item,
which does not appear to be freed when called from 
nm_dbus_get_ap_from_object_path.  Presumably this will increase
if left to run for an extended period of time with many access points available.

The size of the leak in this case will scale linearly depending on the
number of access points.

Trivial patch attached.

That is incorrect.  The bug is a wrong 'error message' displayed in the
package description area when an internet connection is not available.
Instead of saying that the package description is not available because
there is no internet connection, the text says that the package is not
available on the user's architecture (it says "i386" in my case).

librdf0 depends on libdb4.3, although it can be compiled against
libdb4.4 without issues to my knowledge.

The Subversion development libraries (libsvn-dev) depend on libdb4.4
however, which itself replaces libdb4.3.

This means that librdf0 and the subversion development libraries cannot
be installed at the same time.  KDE 4 development requires both.

[Bug 95524] Wrong package description - "Cannot be installed on your computer type" when internet connection not available

2007-03-24 Thread Robert Knight
Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce:

1.  Installed Ubuntu Feisty Beta from LiveCD on a PC without an internet 
connection
2.  Started PC with Feisty installed, again, with no internet connection 
enabled. 
3.  Started Add/Remove Applications tool ( Application -> Add/Remove... )
4.  Many/most packages, when selected, show the following description in the 
package information area:

" cannot be installed on your computer type (i386).  Either
the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided
to not support your computer type."

Examples include:

AbiWord 
Adept
Amarok
Akregator
Digikam
Epiphany

When clicking on the checkbox next to the application in order to
install it, a message box appears informing the user that an internet
connection is required to continue installation.

My guess is that Add/Remove Applications is not able to find a source
for the package and so assumes that one is not available for this
architecture.

The preferred result would be to see a package description and a note
underneath that an internet connection is required for installation.
Failing that, a more appropriate message should be shown explaining that
the package description is not available until the package list has been
updated.

[Bug 43965] Re: konsole -e does not work due to pty problems

2007-01-12 Thread Robert Knight
> That brings up a message box indicating problems with the PTY
configuration.

The error has nothing to do with PTY configuration.  The Konsole code
first checks to see if the executable exists and if it does then it
assumes that any subsequent failures are a PTY related issue.  This
behaviour is not correct and will need to be fixed.

Konsole and xterm treat the -e option differently I believe.  The
following works in Konsole and xterm:

konsole -e sh -c "ls;echo hello;sleep 10"

I think in xterm the "sh -c" part is implicit.

[Bug 58698] Re: konsole bold colors not bold

2007-01-12 Thread Robert Knight
Hello,

In KDE 3 the colour schemes are allowed to decide on a per colour basis
whether that colour is shown as bold or not.

Try changing the colour-scheme to "XTerm Colors", via Settings -> Schema -> 
XTerm Colors.  The XTerm colour scheme is designed to handle bold colours in 
the same way that xterm does.
If that produces the results you are after then I you can edit the default 
colour scheme to use bold colours by using the Schema editor in the "Configure 
Konsole" dialog.

I appreciate this is strange and confusing, I will try to make it less
so in future.

2007-01-03 Thread Robert Knight
Yes, I do have a Radeon using the ati driver.

It seems very likely to be the same problem I am seeing.  I reported it
against OpenOffice because that is the only program which exhibited the
artifacts ( all KDE programs work well and they constitute the vast
majority of programs that I use on a daily basis )

I did find a spec related to this for Feisty, although it has been
deferred, presumably because there are a lot of other specifications to
implement for the next release.

2006-12-17 Thread Robert Knight
> Right click on the package in Konqueror and select Kubuntu Package
Menu -> Install Package.

That really does not qualify at all I'm afraid.
The most important problem is that the default action when you click on a 
package is for it to be opened in Ark.  This is hidden in the context menu 
which is why I didn't find it. 

The second problem is that the command just opens up an xterm and
displays the prompt "Password:".  This raises a number of questions (I
know the answers to these questions, I am trying to look at the
situation from the perspective of a less experienced Linux user):

- What password and why?
- What will happen when I enter my password?
- Why aren't there password-characters ( stars, black circles, asterisks or 
something of that ilk )?

 This is still a console app and not a GUI.

[Bug 76158] Cannot install deb packages from GUI in Kubuntu (no gdebi equivalent)

2006-12-17 Thread Robert Knight
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kubuntu-desktop

It is not possible to easily install standalone software packages from the GUI 
in Kubuntu.
If you download a .deb package and click on it, the package opens in the 
archive viewer Ark.

Under Ubuntu the gdebi program is associated with .deb files and it opens them 
and prompts to install the package when you click on the 
file in Nautilus.

This affects a number of important use cases:

1.  People downloading packages which cannot be included in Kubuntu 
repositories for legal reasons
2.  People trying to package newer versions of software for Kubuntu for others 
to test (either for bug fixes, features, new drivers etc.)
3.  ISVs trying to package software for Kubuntu

An ideal gdebi equivalent in Kubuntu would also support RPMs ( and
convert them using a tool such as alien )

[Bug 37696] Re: adept does not show wanted user input

2006-12-17 Thread Robert Knight
> waiting for upstream picking this up

Hello, I am the current maintainer of Konsole.  I'm quite happy to
commit the patches for this, but you do have to make sure that I am
aware of the problem.  I didn't know anything about it until I came
across the bug report today.

The best ways to get the attention of myself and other developers are:

- Email the konsole mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
- Email the current maintainer (email address found in the "Help -> About 
Konsole" dialog in Konsole itself)

Or you can email the more general kde-devel mailing list.
 
I do look over bug reports from time to time, but looking over all 145 bug 
reports, much less addressing any of them, takes time.  Plus the bug reports do 
not usually give enough context information to indicate the severity of the bug 
for the user affected.  "Please add a dcop command to enable feature X" doesn't 
tell me that it is a serious issue for Kubuntu users because it basically means 
they cannot install some important software using the supplied graphical tool.

Aside from that, I really have to ask if there is any other way of
knowing that questions will be asked and allowing the user to respond.
Waiting for silence using the terminal's "detect silence" feature seems
very ugly.  If the silence timeout is too short then the terminal will
keep opening up.  If it is too long then people will end up waiting for
ages wondering why the system is taking so long.

Hello, it appears that this is an issue with HAL rather than guidance-
power-manager, one of the scripts which is executed when attempting to
change the screen brilliance via HAL is broken under Edgy because it

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

The letters in the OpenOffice.org menus run into each other.  The
problem only affects the small letter 'r' from what I can see, but since
this letter features in many menu items, it makes the UI text hard to
read.

[Bug 75698] amarok makes multiple credit-card charges for a single Magnatunes purchase

2006-12-13 Thread Robert Knight
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: amarok

The amarok 1.4.4 update which is published on the kubuntu.org homepage
has a serious bug.  When attempting to purchase an album via Magnatunes
it tries to purchase multiple times when the purchase button is clicked.

Fortunately Magnatunes' website detects this and avoids charging more
than once.  Apparently this bug has actually cost some people money.

The issue has apparently been fixed upstream:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138584

To reiterate, this does not affect the version of amarok shipped with
Edgy or Dapper, it may affect Feisty.

I can confirm this bug on an IBM Thinkpad X30 when booting from the Edgy

Sorry, what I meant to say in the original bug report is that "gnome
power manager" worked in Dapper.

It seems that it doesn't work in Edgy either, I think this is a HAL
issue instead.

[Bug 72120] Screen brightness not altered when AC adapter is unplugged

2006-11-16 Thread Robert Knight
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kde-guidance-powermanager

I have a SONY VAIO Z1RSP laptop.

When unplugging the power adapter the screen brightness is not adjust in
accordance with the settings in the new "Power Management" dialog.

The laptop keys to adjust the screen brightness and gnome's Power
Manager utility both work, so I am assuming this is not a problem with
the kernel.  The /etc/acpi/sonybright.sh script also works correctly.

I didn't have any luck trying to set the value using HAL/DBus and the
commandline dbus-send tool though:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dbus-send --print-reply --system 
--dest=org.freedesktop.Hal /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/acpi_brightness 
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel.SetBrightness int32:2
method return sender=:1.0 -> dest=:1.101
   uint32 2


I believe another VAIO user reported a similar problem in the "Kubuntu Power 
Management Feedback" wiki page.

Below is output from hal-device which I hope is relevant:

[Bug 16873] Re: system freeze when using ati radeon 7000 with xorg "ati" driver

2006-11-16 Thread Robert Knight
I have discussed the matter with David Airlie, who maintains the xorg
ati driver.  He told me that Ubuntu have added quite a number of patches
to the ati driver, and it isn't a straightforward matter - for someone
who is not familiar with the X code at least (ie. myself) - to find a
patch in the x.org git tree and apply it to the Ubuntu version of the
driver.

I did have a look at both codebases, and I really was way out of my depth.  
The short story is that I upgraded to 'Edgy' where the issue has been fixed, 
much as I would have preferred a "safe and stable" release on my main machine.

This bug is very serious, and I strongly suggest upgrading its severity.

Thanks for sorting out the patch, but I think this says that there are

Personally I would consider this bug a release blocker.

In the modern world, internet connectivity is probably the most

2006-11-05 Thread Robert Knight
> but the fix itself is a simple patch that could easily be applied to
dapper version of the driver

The Xorg 7.1 code looks quite different from the 7.0 code to me.
Anyhow, a stable version of the Xorg 7.0 ati driver which includes the
memory map fixes has been published upstream (version 6.5.8.1).  I would
really appreciate it if that could be made available for Ubuntu Dapper.
Seriously, I will be willing to make a charitable donation a developer's
beer fund.

Can I also request that the importance of this bug be raised.  This can
lock up affected PCs (of which there are many in existence) frequently.

I am using Kubuntu Dapper as a platform for KDE development and
something in the latest Qt release seems to trigger this lockup very
frequently.

Switching to EXA accelerations helps - although EXA support seems to
have many rough edges in the X.org 7.0, so much so that using it for day
to day desktop work can be a little painful.
