Re: [Bug 29802] Re: MySQL Administrator Locks when trying to do User Administration

There's a simple workaround in the upstream bug, so mysql-admin is
useful.  However, it's disappointing from the user perspective when
simple bugs are ignored :(

Thanks, that explanation greatly clarifies the issue - not knowing
much about wpasupplicant, I assumed that reverting to wireless
extensions meant doing away with wpasupplicant altogether, and spoke
too soon.

Based on the version of linux-source referenced, I think he meant edgy.  I
agree though, it should go into Dapper, the rt2x00 driver is recognized by
networkmanager, whereas the first party driver is not.

The fix in NM in that bug is to use wireless extensions instead of
wpasupplicant with ndiswrapper, in effect confirming what I just said.
Bug 42504 seems to be about ndiswrapper not working with wpasupplicant,

I like to map Meta to the windows keys, so that I can bind Meta+key
to shortcuts that use the key.  My workaround for this bug has been to
pick Super in the window properties, and then map meta to the windows
keys.  This makes the win keys move windows, leaving alt untouched,
while letting me use the windows key for shortcuts.

Sorry for not replying to your comment, twice, it wasn't intentional.

[Bug 49056] Re: Backport MediaWiki

2006-09-29 Thread Simon80
Unstable, in the context of Debian, isn't being used to imply that a
package is unreliable or something, it means the repositories themselves
are unstable, ie. packages are updated often.  Of course, it follows
from this that the unstable repos will have more bugs than the more
stable repositories, cause unstable is the first line of QA for new
packages.  Apologies if this isn't the source of your confusion, I'm
just trying to help.

2006-08-19 Thread Simon80
What's the status on this bug?  Ndiswrapper and rt61 have been broken
for me since Dapper came out, and I haven't been sure what to do about
it.  Downgrading to 0.5.1 works, but I can't be going around
recommending Ubuntu to people and then telling them they have to
downgrade such and such a package if they want decent wireless support.
Today I tried using the ndiswrapper from edgy, and it's also broken.
I'm really anxious to see something done about this issue.

[Bug 22349] Re: Cpufreq applet locks up desktop with hand Icon (double click) or gnome-panel

2006-07-29 Thread Simon80
Well, this was pretty hard to get working because of the dependencies on
newer stuff, and I ended up ignoring them whenever I could get away with
it, but I eventually got something built with 2.15.2, and installed it.
When I left click or double click on the applet, it doesn't lock up, but
a menu doesn't pop up either.

Contrast this with the version 2.14.2: when I clicked on that, the
applet and the neighboring system monitor applet would stop responding,
but only for about 5 seconds.  Not as bad as the bug description, but I
remember older versions of the applet being worse, to the point where
I'd have to kill the panel.  Hope this is useful to know.

if you're not going to ship the latest version of obexftp (my patch made
it into 0.20, I believe) in Edgy, please consider applying this patch to
0.19.  I tested the current edgy obexftp on my Dapper install (by adding
an edgy deb-src to my sources.list ) and it still doesn't work with my
phone.  I then added the patch that can be found at
http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=85776, which is an ever so
slightly reworked version of my patch, and with that, obexftp works.  It
applies cleanly to the latest edgy source package, which is 0.19-5 as of
now, if I'm not mistaken.

  downgraded to 0.5 on the suggestion of this page:

[Bug 44717] Re: amarok goes back 10 seconds on seek forward/backward, using xine engine

2006-07-27 Thread Simon80
hey, sorry about the lack of response, I'm not sure why I didn't
respond.  However, I can say that the problem still exists, for sure.
I've reinstalled Dapper since I last commented on this bug, so that I
would have a fresh install instead of a Breezy to Dapper upgrade.  I
have Kubuntu's kde 3.5.3 and amarok 1.4 repositories added, and even
with Amarok 1.4, I still see problems with seeking.  I tested it before
responding to this bug, and at first, it seemed to seek properly, but
then I hit the global hotkey for next track 5-10 times, and it started
acting up again when I seeked after skipping a bunch of tracks.

I filed a bug on KDE's bugzilla at some point about how if one seeks
repeatedly very fast, sometimes the seek will end up at the beginning of
the track, and the response was that it was xine's fault somehow.  I
can't find the bug on their bugzilla, but my point is that this issue
may also be xine related.

Just a heads up for those who don't know (like Clark):  if needed, you
can make module parameters permanent by adding a line like options
