[Bug 1756840] Re: Buggy, under-maintained, not fit for main anymore; alternatives exist

[Tina Russell]

I just installed Ubuntu 20.04 on a new machine and I’m a little
frustrated that the installer made no mention of encrypting my home
directory, which is what I was planning to do. I did a search and found
out this is why. If ecryptfs is so broken and better alternatives exist,
why does the installer not support any of them? Do I need to file a bug
with the installer?

[Bug 1836979] Re: Kodi crashes with “nouveau_vp3_video_buffer_create: Assertion `templat->interlaced' failed”

[Tina Russell]

** Description changed:

- I’m not exactly sure if this belongs here, libva, mesa, or upstream
- somewhere. But, it doesn’t seem to be a Kodi bug, buggy is that program
- is.
+ Buggy as Kodi is, this seems to be a problem specifically with mesa-va-
+ drivers.
  
  Kodi has worked just fine on my system, as recently as July 6th of this
  year, but yesterday (July 16) I tried Kodi again: I got a blank screen
  and a pause for a few moments, followed by an unceremonious crash-to-
  desktop. This happens every time I start Kodi, now.
  
  If I run it through the command-line, I get this:
  
  libva info: VA-API version 1.1.0
  libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
  libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/nouveau_drv_video.so

+ did upgrade the Mesa packages, from 18.2.8-0ubuntu0~18.04.2
+ 19.0.2-1ubuntu1.1~18.04.1. If I downgrade the “mesa-va-drivers” package
+ to 18.0.0~rc5-1ubuntu1 (the version in the base, non-updates Bionic

  I tried looking in Xorg.0.log:

  …that’s all that appears in the log when I try to load Kodi and a crash
  happens.
  
  I’m using Ubuntu MATE 18.04.2 LTS 64-bit on a Compaq Presario CQ60; if
  you need more information, I’ve attached a hardinfo report, too. I hope
  this bug can get fixed, soon. Thanks!

[Tina Russell]

Sweet mother of the Muses, I just downgraded the mesa-va-drivers package
to 18.0.0~rc5-1ubuntu1 (since that’s the one from the non-updates Bionic
repository) and Kodi works again! Then, this is a problem specifically
with the mesa-va-drivers package. I’ll have to update the description
accordingly.

[Bug 1836979] Re: Kodi crashes with “nouveau_vp3_video_buffer_create: Assertion `templat->interlaced' failed”

[Tina Russell]

There was an update to Mesa over in the Ubuntu-X-Swat PPA today (by
which I mean the “Updates” one), from 19.0.2-1ubuntu1.1~18.04.1 to
19.0.8-0ubuntu0~18.04.1. …Sadly, as I discovered—after installing the
updates, then restarting and trying Kodi again—this bug is still present
and still works exactly the same.

(While I’m here, does anyone know how I would file a bug with the
nvidia-340 package? I mean, I don’t know how much we can do about that
driver, given its proprietary nature, but I want to try, at least. I
just want one of my graphics drivers working so I can use my media
player again… (sigh))

[Bug 1836979] [NEW] Kodi crashes with “nouveau_vp3_video_buffer_create: Assertion `templat->interlaced' failed”

[Tina Russell]

Public bug reported:

I’m not exactly sure if this belongs here, libva, mesa, or upstream
somewhere. But, it doesn’t seem to be a Kodi bug, buggy is that program
is.

Kodi has worked just fine on my system, as recently as July 7th of this
year, but yesterday (July 16) I tried Kodi again: I got a blank screen
and a pause for a few moments, followed by an unceremonious crash-to-
desktop. This happens every time I start Kodi, now.

If I run it through the command-line, I get this:

I’ve been using the same version of Kodi (“18.3 Git:20190621-89472b7”,
package version 2:18.3+git20190621.1610-final-0bionic, from the Team-
XBMC PPA) since its release in June, but in between July 7th and 16th, I
did upgrade Nouveau:

the whole system. So, now I’m back to using Nouveau.)

[Bug 1721955] Re: Human, Human-Clearlooks and other themes have incorrect gray window title color

[Tina Russell]

My hunch is that this has to do with how the Human themes have theme
definitions for GTK2 but not GTK3—other themes like this seem to be
having similar problems, now.

The best workaround I’ve found is this one:
https://www.opendesktop.org/s/mate/p/1013593/ It took a little bit of
fidgeting for me to get this to work correctly, and there are still some
bugs, but someone has created workable new versions of the Human themes.
Personally, I used the “Human Quarny Clearlooks” theme, by copying its
folder (renaming it “Human-Quarny-Clearlooks”) into “~/.themes”, then
copying the “metacity-1” folder from “Human Quarny” into “Human-Quarny-
Clearlooks”, and updating the index.theme file to rename the theme
“Human Quarny Clearlooks” and then specify the sub-themes (except for
icon theme, which stays “Humanity”) as “Human-Quarny-Clearlooks” instead
of just “Human”). …That was way too complicated, but just copying the
theme folders into “~.themes” created four or so different “Human”
themes in the “Appearance” theme selector, and I had a feeling that
madness lied that way.

Oh, and the most obvious bug I’ve found is that some applications (like
Emacs and Geany) have a weird scrollbar issue where the scrollbar slider
is drawn but never un-drawn, so if you slide it around pretty soon your
whole scrollbar is orange. (I note this here as a precaution and to see
if anyone else has the same problem—after all, I did install the theme
in a rather wacky fashion)

[Bug 1721955] Re: Human and Human-Clearlooks themes have incorrect gray window title color

[Tina Russell]

This bug boggles my mind. Looking at the human-theme Launchpad code page
https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-art-pkg/human-theme/ubuntu it looks
like the code for the Human theme packages hasn’t been updated since
2011. Why would it stop working now?! Maybe a bug needs to be filed with
GTK?

(I’m also using Ubuntu MATE 18.04 LTS. This problem began for me when I
upgraded from 16.04 LTS.)

I’d like to see this fixed, the Human theme was the last vestige of the
2000s-era Ubuntu I loved :(

I'm also getting this problem on my Compaq Presario CQ60. Fn+F7/Fn+F8
don't work to set brightness (though other Fn keycodes generally work),
and in fact I can't seem to find anything to set any value of brightness
at all, and the computer seems to be stuck on the setting of "blindingly
bright." /sys/class/backlight is empty, and the Xorg log doesn't mention
"video" or "light" at all (other than in reporting the "acpi_backlight"
kernel setting I tried; it didn't work). I'm using Ubuntu MATE 16.04.
I'm... not sure how to post my specs, so I'm attaching a HardInfo report

[Bug 788626] Re: Error: Unable to save resume file: File name too long

[Tina Russell]

Using Transmission 2.82, now there’s a feature where you can rename the
file yourself in the torrent properties dialog... but, if it’s a single-
file torrent and the name is too long (and, I would imagine, if the base
folder in a multi-file torrent has a name that’s too long), that overly-
long file name _still_ gets used for the resume file, and you’ll still
get this blasted error message. What a pain...

[Bug 270331] Re: gnome-power-manager crashed using gpm_feedback_display_value

[Tina Russell]

Hey! I haven’t gotten this bug since 2008, and it was something I
reproduced by just waiting around for it to crash (it happened often).
So, it’s fair to say for now that it’s fixed. I suppose one thing that
might be relevant is that back then, the power receptacle on my compy
was busted and so the AC power was constantly activating and
deactivating whenever the system was nudged. I’ve replaced the
receptacle since then, though (and it’s something I should’ve done much
sooner; it’s a problem that can easily fry your motherboard). I can’t
remember if there was any connection between fixing the receptacle and
the power manager no longer crashing, though. It’s been so long...

Just to cover my bases, I tried going into Synaptic and reinstalling
every single package with “gtk” in the name, and/or “gdk” in the name or
description. To my surprise, it worked; I no longer got this bug in GIMP
or Inkscape.

That was a week or two ago. By now, the bug has recurred, with the same
symptoms. I could do the same thing I did before to make it go away
again, but I hope this helps get to the bottom of why this bug is
occurring in the first place so we can fix it.

Well, I just used apt-rdepends and a spreadsheet and came up with the
same sort of list but with recursive dependencies included. Again, these
are packaged required both by GIMP and Inkscape but not by MyPaint. No

Hmmm, this may have been a red herring... I don’t see any that jump out
at me as being related to extended input or UI rendering. But, maybe I’m
just not familiar enough with these libraries. (libxt6 is, at least,
related to the UI, being the X Toolkit Intrinsics library, but I can’t
say I know any more than that...)

[Bug 556670] Re: Can't click on UI elements in gimp (intermittent)

[Tina Russell]

Because I get this problem in GIMP and Inkscape but not MyPaint, I
decided to make a list of dependencies shared by GIMP and Inkscape _but
not MyPaint._ Here is the list, with each package name followed by the
version I have installed (all are from the official Ubuntu
repositories):

libatk1.0-0 (1.32.0-0ubuntu1)
libcairo2 (1.10.0-1ubuntu3)
libfontconfig1 (2.8.0-2ubuntu1)
libfreetype6 (2.4.2-2ubuntu0.1)
libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (2.22.0-0ubuntu1)
libgtk2.0-0 (2.22.0-0ubuntu1)
liblcms1 (1.18.dfsg-1ubuntu2.10.10.1)
libpango1.0-0 (1.28.1-1ubuntu3)
libpoppler-glib5 (0.14.3-0ubuntu1.1)
libx11-6 (2:1.3.3-3ubuntu1)
zlib1g (1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3ubuntu1)

Of course, this doesn’t include dependencies _of_ dependencies... for
instance, MyPaint requires PyGTK, and I’d imagine that in turn requires
libgtk. Anyway, this is what I have for now.

[Bug 556670] Re: Can't click on UI elements in gimp (intermittent)

[Tina Russell]

Ugh, I have this problem too. It might be even worse; right now for me,
if I make a paintbrush stroke in GIMP using the stylus, the UI will not
recognize my next stylus action, even if that action is to draw another
stroke. Also, I’m getting a similar bug in Inkscape, so I think this
must have to do with an underlying, common library.

So:

- I make one paintbrush stroke using the stylus
   - If I try to make a second stroke immediately after, GIMP will not 
recognize it. It will, however, recognize a third stroke, but not a fourth, a 
fifth, but not a sixth, etc. GIMP will only recognize every other stroke I 
make; I suppose it’s requiring me to click on the canvas area again so that it 
knows I’m still painting.
   - If I try to click something in the UI, like a menu or the sliders in the 
tool options, immediately after the first stroke, GIMP will not recognize it. 
Clicking the title bar doesn’t even work for me; usually, I minimize and then 
restore the entire GIMP window, or click on the titlebar for one of the mini 
windows, and then the UI works again. (Making a paintbrush stroke after I 
restore the window or click a mini-window title bar also works, though with all 
the described caveats.) (I have the mini windows set to “utility” in the 
“Window Management” settings, by the way—I’m not sure if that’s the default.)
   - If I make a second paintbrush stroke immediately after the first, and then 
after _that_ click on something in the UI, the second stroke will not work—but 
the UI will. Apparently, it goes into “UI mode” after every brushstroke.

Additionally, sometimes I’ll be using a window like Preferences or the
Save As dialog and suddenly nothing in the window will respond to a
click. For that, I usually click the main window title bar—which will,
oddly, work—and then click back on the window I’m using, and it will
work.

And, as I said, the copy of Inkscape I’m using is having similar
problems. I don’t really know what the two have in common in terms of
underlying extended-input tech, though the input device settings UI for
GIMP and Inkscape both use identical identifiers and terminology. These
problems have not, however, appeared in MyPaint, which also takes
extended input (including differentiating between the stylus tip and the
eraser), so perhaps it’s something shared by Inkscape and GIMP but not
by MyPaint.

Oh, and disabling all input devices in GIMP except for the stylus didn’t
work for me (and besides, even if it did, not having the eraser would be
a serious drawback). And, all of these problems happen only with the
stylus, not the mouse, but the stylus being nigh unusable in a
professional graphics program is a major problem.

I’m using Ubuntu 10.10 on a Lenovo ThinkPad X61 tablet. The versions of
the packages I’m using are:

GIMP: 2.6.11-1~getdeb1~maverick (from the GetDeb repository, though I’ve also 
tried with 2.6.10-1ubuntu3.1 from the Ubuntu repository and the same problems 
occur)
Inkscape: 0.48.0-1ubuntu1 (from the Ubuntu repository)
MyPaint: 0.9.0-1~lffl~maverick~ppa (from this PPA: 
https://launchpad.net/~ferramroberto/+archive/maverick )

Please help!

[Bug 367275] Re: [i915GM] Binary data added to Xorg.0.log.old and screen stays blank

[Tina Russell]

I’ve started using the 2.6.30 RC5 kernel (using the package available at
the Ubuntu kernel PPA, though I installed the package manually) and the
X-Updates PPA. Anyway, I still get these crashes, but now it won’t crash
the whole system, it will merely crash X.org, which restarts after a
bit. (The screen will still be frozen in place for something like half a
minute, though.) And, the Xorg.0.log.old is now more useful, including a
backtrace. (It’s still has the strange mimetype problem.)

(I still have the “screen blanks at login” problem, sometimes, but I
haven’t had to restart as much so I haven’t been as aware.)

[Tina Russell]

Okay, I just realize my symptoms differ significantly; if you look at my
Xorg.0.log.old, you’ll see it opens just fine as a regular text file (if
you explicitly open it with a text editor), it just has a mimetype that
implies a binary file. I just opened Jonathan’s log and realized the
extent of the binary junk... the log has a huge load of it right
upfront. I couldn’t ever find any binary junk in my log, I just assumed
it was there and the text editor ignored it (I assumed it was _there_
because of the odd change in mimetype).

So, maybe I have a different but similar problem. Ga

Here’s my xorg.conf and lspci -vv output, by the way.

[Tina Russell]

This looks kind of like bug #367275, which I’ve been struggling with.
Steve, when you had this problem, do you remember if Xorg.0.log.old had
the mimetype "application/x-trash"? (That would have made it difficult
to open in the text editor or the log viewer, as nothing will recognize
it as a regular text file, even if it has regular text data and will
open fine if you tell the text editor specifically to do so.) That’s
been the symptom for me.

I’ll try some alternate settings, now

I have no idea why this is marked as a duplicate! It’s more that this is
one of the bugs that must be fixed if #1 is to be fixed.

I agree that something must be done about this process. I’m wary of
attempting to divide users into streams, asking them at the beginning if
they want “easy” or “advanced,” a bizarre moment of rating yourself
without much reference to go on. But, yes, the “change old configuration
file?” window needs to be vastly friendlier. At the very least, it needs
something along the lines of, “if you don’t know what to do, choose this
option...”

In the longer term, perhaps we really need to establish that packages
should have a “merge” functionality for their configuration file
upgrades, where it will generate a new configuration file taking your
previous changes into account. Perhaps a standardized library would be
needed for this. Hmmm...

[Bug 241920] Re: Remove diveintopython from default install

[Tina Russell]

I would like to say one more thing... whether or not it’s a 4MB monster
like DIP, I hope we can have some kind of beginning Python document or
tutorial in the help files. I really enjoyed the fact that, in the
Ubuntu help browser, “writing your own programs” is listed under
“advanced topics.” My hope would be that kids who are first trying out
Ubuntu might be curious enough to play around with programming and it
could change their lives (or at least give them a valuable skill). Also,
people who wouldn’t know they like programming may find themselves more
inclined to do simple projects (at least in Python).

Obviously, DIP meets neither goal since it’s already something for
experienced programmers. But, if we could have some Python documentation
there, showing you how to play with the interpreter and make your first
program (and introducing functions, classes, loops, etc.), that would
make me very happy. Internet references would be good, too, of course,
but the documentation would have to contain enough so that a user in a
remote village in Bangladesh could be on their way to being a Python pro
before they can get to the nearest net café to learn more. That’s my
0.02 taka, anyway ;)

IT skill is so important to social mobility these days that I think this
fits well into the idealistic nature of Ubuntu.

Re: [Bug 270331] Re: gnome-power-manager crashed with SIGSEGV in gdk_screen_get_monitor_geometry()

[Tina Russell]

Thanks! No, I haven't gotten this problem in a while. I don't remember
exactly when, but I think I only saw it crash a few more times, and that was
in the days after I filed this bug report. The crashes were so random and
inexplicable, though, that it would probably be a good idea just to look
into what the problem might have been...

To reproduce the bug, by the way, all I really did was wait... I ran the
power manager in debug mode, attached GDB to it, opened a terminal to
monitor the DBus output, and then waited. In the end, I think it took at
least six hours (more, as I remember it) for a crash to take place. So, I
have no idea how to test this bug specifically :(

Thankfully, it's been a long time since I've had the power manager crash. By
the way... I think what I wrote up there about maybe my tablet or portrait
mode having something to do with it is a load of waffle. I forgot to mention
before that I got the problem in landscape (normal) mode as well.

Anyway, thanks!

[Bug 281074] [NEW] Minimum window size is far too wide and tall

[Tina Russell]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: packagekit-gnome

The main window cannot be resized below a size of, by my understanding,
1000x500 pixels. I noticed this because I use a tablet computer which,
in portrait mode, has a resolution of 768x1280.

When a window flows outside the screen boundary, and cannot be resized
to fit, odd things happen when you try to “maximize” the window. In my
experience, Metacity will be confused, changing the “maximize” icon and
removing the window’s borders without actually maximizing the window.
Compiz will clumsily resize the window to fit the screen, with the right
edge flowing off into the next workspace, while arbitrarily (and
ineffectively) attempting to show you both ends of the window depending
on how you hover your mouse. (The right side is still inaccessible to
activity, unless you switch to the workspace that it’s overflowing
into.)

I really want to encourage the removal of arbitrary limits on window
size. It’s important, for instance, that the EeePC 700/701 has a
resolution of only 800x480 (a minimum size of 1000x500 misses in both
dimensions!). Also, we never know what devices a new program will be
used on, so it’s always good to avoid handicaps that aren’t absolutely
necessary.

Thanks for your work on this software! I’m trying it out after the
Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter call for testing.

[Bug 179453] Re: xsetwacom list dev broken in hardy

[Tina Russell]

Hey,

Sorry! I figured out was was wrong, and forgot to add another comment in
here. It turns out the symptoms that I described were because I had old
versions of the wacom tools stuffed away in /usr/local/bin, from times
that I had compiled it from source (these days, I use the
“--prefix=/usr” option to ensure this doesn’t happen, although there are
reasons not to use that as well). Anyway, Thor, you might want to try
using “/usr/bin/xsetwacom” or whatever and see if that makes a
difference, or compile the tools from source (from the source package or
by getting a tarball from the Linux Wacom Project site) without
installing it and try running the program directly from the source
directory. Does that all make sense?

If I’m right about this, all you need to do is remove the old version,
perhaps by using “sudo make uninstall” in the source directory of that
old version (if you still have the source lying around), or simply by
removing (“sudo rm”, though be careful with that!) the Wacom-related
binaries in “/usr/local/bin”.

If was right and that works, we can probably close this bug again. If
not, we’ll have to put our detective caps on and figure out what the
problem is, together.

[Bug 220343] Re: Synaptic touchpad button click usually doesn't work

Sadly, I’ve _just_ gotten this bug on Intrepid, right after the Xserver

the same time (a new upstream version as well as being built for the new
Xserver), so I don’t know which one is at fault.

I tried tweaking with synclient, but I changed many settings that seemed
relevant and nothing seemed to be able to make a difference in the tap
function’s sensitivity, or _lack_ thereof.

[Bug 266988] Re: transmission crashed with SIGSEGV in g_file_info_get_file_type()

[Tina Russell]

Actually, I did follow the instructions; I used the script, in fact.
I’ve also checked to make sure that I did install the Transmission debug
symbols before doing the crash and backtrace.

However, since then, I’ve had this crash in other GTK programs, when
trying to create a folder within the file chooser dialog. So, it’s
probably not a Transmission bug, but a GTK bug. I’ve changed the package
accordingly. (I hope “gtk+2.0” is the correct package for this;
obviously, feel free to change it, if I’m wrong!)

[Bug 270331] Re: gnome-power-manager crashed with SIGSEGV in gdk_screen_get_monitor_geometry()

[Tina Russell]

Here’s the last thing. It’s a backtrace! Hooray!

I had to attach GDB to the already-running power manager process for
this to work. (Notice my nervous backspacing at the end. I didn’t know
that was being recorded! Aaagh!)

[Bug 270331] Re: gnome-power-manager crashed with SIGSEGV in gdk_screen_get_monitor_geometry()

[Tina Russell]

Here is the output from monitoring DBus using “dbus-monitor --session
type='signal',interface='org.freedesktop.PowerManagement'"”. Actually,
it’s just what fit in my terminal buffer: about 1000 lines. (I guess I
didn’t think it was important enough to save all the text using tee or
something. Actually, I didn’t think of that at all...)

The very end of this file shows what was last output from the DBus
monitor. In fact, as I write this, I still have the DBus monitor
running; and since the power manager is no longer running, the DBus
monitor is still sitting there, the terminal cursor blinking away. What
I mean is that, yeah, there’s no fanfare at the end, nothing out of the
ordinary. Oh, well.

[Bug 270331] Re: gnome-power-manager crashed with SIGSEGV in gdk_screen_get_monitor_geometry()

[Tina Russell]

The power manager crashed again, but this time, I had it in debug mode
and with GDB attached and was monitoring DBus output, so now I have lots
of information to help fix the bug.

This is the output from “gnome-power-manager --verbose --no-daemon 2>&1
| tee gpm.debug.log.txt”. The file was so huge—over 300,000 lines and 15
megabytes—that I had to compress it. Sorry if I was supposed to truncate
it! I wouldn’t have known where to make the cut.

Here you can see I was running the power manager for quite some time
before the crash this time. During that time was many, many more
switches to and from battery and AC power than you can count. Remember,
my laptop is fussy when you plug in the power cable, requiring the
proper alignment of the planets for it to recognize the AC adapter; so,
if you see the power manager rapidly flipping between plugged and
unplugged, that’s why.

[Bug 267911] [NEW] CheckGmail will freeze if there is captive authentication

[Tina Russell]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: checkgmail

My university, determined to be five years behind in technology trends
in every way, uses captive authentication for students to log into the
wireless network. (You can’t register your MAC address. Oh, how I wish I
could file a bug with my university.) Obviously, CheckGmail won’t be
able to check Gmail if the only website available is a password prompt
in your school’s pride colors.

The problem is that CheckGmail appears to be very confused if it is
connected to the Internet and _cannot_ access Gmail. Whenever I arrive
at my school, Network Manager will acknowledge the wireless network and
connect. But, the next time CheckGmail checks for new mail, it will get
stuck. The tooltip for the tray icon will say “Checking Gmail...”
forever. If I then log into the wireless network at the captive portal,
the whole Internet will once again be available to me, as it was meant
to be, but CheckGmail will still be frozen. The only way to wake it up
is to restart CheckGmail entirely, which is a bit clunky and it messes
up my meticulously arranged system tray icons (yeah, I’m picky about
that, see here: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/10231/ ).

So, my preferred behavior would be for CheckGmail to treat this (not
being able to access Gmail though connected to the Internet) as any
other error; to give up and try again at the next interval, reporting an
error through the tooltip. (Though, I can understand CheckGmail’s
support for captive portals being untested. Most people don’t have to
deal with them on a day-to-day basis, yaaargh.) Next time I’m at my
school, I’ll see if I can record any output from CheckGmail (though this
may not be for a few weeks, as it is summer!). I would like to know,
though, if there’s any clever way to recreate these conditions for a
test.

Thanks!

(I’m running Ubuntu 8.10, “Intrepid Ibex,” and have CheckGmail at
version 1.13-3ubuntu1. I have the two recommended packages installed, as
well as those elusive Perl bindings.)

[Bug 267266] [NEW] Rotation messes up display; bug fixed upstream

[Tina Russell]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

I was wondering if we could bump the snapshot used for the Intrepid
package up just one more revision. The revision used for this package is
“a3cc...”, August 26, which was a good choice as it ends a flurry of
changes and updates. There’s one more revision after it though
(“38aa...”), made the same day, that fixes a large bug introduced a few
revisions back.

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17317

If it’s not too much trouble, could we move it up one revision? As of
right now, it’s the most recent revision, and since no more changes have
been made in almost two weeks there’s good reason to believe it’s fairly
free of showstoppers.

Thanks!

Let’s work hard to make sure AIGLX works for everyone’s cards, though!
It won’t work for me right now, for instance, ’cause of a version

I tried again, with a new torrent file, and got the same bug. The
strange thing is that the earlier file was already on the list, and
started downloading as I started the program. Anyway, I tried to repeat
the steps by opening a new file in Transmission via Firefox. This time,
though, the program crashed before I could even touch the “destination”
combo box. Here’s a backtrace.

[Bug 195967] Re: gedit crashed with SIGSEGV in PyErr_Fetch()

[Tina Russell]

Bleh. Okay, now I know that Gedit doesn’t have a debug symbol package.

Does anyone have advice on how to go about doing this? I’m not sure what
causes the bug, and often it simply crashes after a long time without my
intervention. I’d like to run it from a terminal and then cause the
crash to see the output, but of course, I don’t know how to reproduce
this bug on purpose. ...I tried reclassifying Gedit in my main menu as a
program that should run from terminal—so that it will always run in a
terminal, even if I don’t remember to be on the lookout for bugs—but
then, the terminal closes as I exit. I tried changing my bookmark to a
script that will forward all output to a text file, but that doesn’t
seem to include the critical GNOME errors and warnings that are so
important here.

Thanks!

[Bug 262372] Re: clicking the panel clock will freeze the panel

[Tina Russell]

Hey, turtles are good programming practice.

I’m getting this bug too, as of today. All the symptoms described are
there for me as well, although I never tried restarting X. Instead, I
restarted the process with “killall gnome-panel.” After doing that once
or twice, the panel stopped automatically coming back (odd!), so I ran
it from a terminal to reproduce the crash. Sadly, the panel output
didn’t give me anything useful.

I made a backtrace. Keep in mind that the panel froze up and I had to
kill the process, so that is what’s represented in the log. (Everything
up to the “Program received signal SIGTERM” line is the output I got
upon starting the process. Clicking the clock applet crashed the panel,
but didn’t produce any output. Everything else is output I received upon
or after killing the process.) (...Oh, and the panel was present, but
unresponsive, even after I killed its process. It remained until I
closed GDB, over its protests that a program was still running. Is that
normal?)

I’m using Ubuntu 8.10, “Intrepid Ibex,” with everything up-to-date. (I’d
give you the time in UTC, but my panel clock is broken... wh...) It
might be relevant that I use Mousetweaks for its “delay click” function,
and that it stopped working right around when I found this bug. (I don’t
know _why_ that would be relevant... I’ll restart X and see if
Mousetweaks works again.)

Thanks!

Re: [Bug 239082] Re: (wireless) network driver missing from the dvd

[Tina Russell]

Well, it does, kinda. Dereck probably meant that the problem is specifically
Broadcom's reticence on releasing open-source drivers for its wireless
cards, which has to do with Microsoft's massive clout compared to our
homegrown operation (though we have something that Microsoft does not, which
is a massive army of enthusiastic volunteers). Because Broadcom sees PCs as
being "Windows" and nothing else, they don't see Linux as a market worth
serving (if they see it at all). We must change that... part of that is
politely asking Broadcom to serve a leading-edge niche market, and part of
that is making Ubuntu so good that not even Microsoft's incumbency can stop
it.

Yeah, I know. What I meant was that these Broadcom drivers being unavailable

result of it. Marking bug 1 as a dependency might be a good way to show that
we may need to fix bug 1 before fixing this bug. I totally think it's a
shame that hardware vendors persist in steering customers towards
proprietary solutions without letting them know about more stable and more

I don't know, I think that it's a Xandros derivative rather than Xandros
itself matters. A large component of open source is that the code, time, and
effort is never invested all in one single leader. I know that Eric Raymond
has said genuinely despicable things over the course of his career, but I
imagine I probably use quite a bit of his code through regular daily use of
my computer. So, I don't think we should assume that Xandros's unfortunate
failure to stand up to Microsoft's bogus patent racket means that downstream
code is somehow tainted.

I agree with what you say, though, totally... we must ensure Ubuntu gets on
desktops so that people can see what it's made of, and Asus'
half-heartedness is a little dissappointing. (It's funny that the Windows
laptop has less HD space; I wonder how much of that space is even left after
Windows is installed!)

You can get rid of it by venturing into the

which is what I did. But, we need a new animation, to replace the old

telling whether or not the accessibility registry has activated in
effect (rather than merely in name)? I mean, the registry daemon is
running, but other than that, I can't tell...

Thanks!

[Bug 199496] Re: Tomboy.exe crashed with SIGSEGV in exit()

[Tina Russell]

I'm still getting this bug, sadly. I've checked for and installed all
updates and it's about 12:30am UTC on Sunday, April 20, 2008.

An example, from F-Spot, is attached.

I'm getting this problem as well. I've tried renaming the various config

...That doesn't seem right. :(

Re: [Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share

[Tina Russell]

I don't know, I think this bug is a critical security issue. Though
it's fair to say that Linux would be the target of many more viruses
and malware applications if it were as popular as Windows, it would
also rather help if everyone were using an OS where security is built
in from the ground up, as in Linux, rather than tacked on as an
afterthought, like Windows. The fact that it's accepted wisdom that an
ordinary, unprotected computer running Windows out of the box will
soak up spyware like a sponge as soon as it's connected to the
Internet is one of the biggest threats to computer security today,
especially since cybercrime now relies on hijacking the computers of
casual users and assimilating them into vicious and powerful botnets.
This can all be traced back to a widespread view that Windows is the
"default" operating system, and an inefficient and unsustainable model
that says the entire wired world's security problems should be taken
care of entirely by overworked programmers in Redmond, their patches
released once a month. Windows is simply not equipped to deal with
today's computer security threats, and that's not Microsoft's fault so
much as it shows how outmoded their thinking is.

So, with botnets being the latest, biggest frontier in online crime, I
think it's clear that Bug #1 is the harshest and most pressing
security issue in IT today.

Re: [Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share

[Tina Russell]

Actually, hasn't Linux made about a 100% jump in marketshare over the
past year or two? Obviously, that's something like 0.5% to 1%, but
it's significant.

Linux has never been big on the desktop... its big area of deployment
has always been servers. Making it big on the desktop has always been
something we knew would be a long and difficult battle. But, since the
future of computing depends on it, it's one we're willing to take up.

And I don't think anyone here is sad that Apple has been Microsoft's
big contender, lately. Notice that the bug is titled "Microsoft has a
majority market share," not "Linux does not have a majority market
share." The whole problem, the bug, if you will, is the stunning
_lack_ of competition in the desktop space. If Vista's implosion leads
people both to Mac and Linux, that's all the better for competition,
which is all the better for consumers.

Besides, you must have noticed the surge in budget-priced PCs, laptop
and desktop, natively running Linux, in the past year. Everyone wanted
to get in the "cheap Linux PC" game. In Portland, the beautiful city
which I hail from, we have a community recycling center that takes old
PCs, refurbishes them, installs Ubuntu, and offers free tech support
and classes, and gives the PCs to volunteers, schools, and local
nonprofits. Only using Linux could we cheaply turn old, clunky
computers into ones that are fresh, fast, and reliable.

Linux's market share is always going to be infinitesimal if it
requires people to install an entirely new operating system on top of
the (clunky and bloated, but usable) one they already have, the one
they think "just works." Now that Linux is showing its birth pangs as
a default desktop platform, it's time for the Linux community to show
its stuff, support the new users making the bold transition, and prove
that Linux is ready for prime time... it's vital that "cheap Linux
PCs" become a permanent presence in the desktop space and not merely a
fad. That's why now is the time to be bold and aggressive, and not the
time to think, "waaah, Microsoft's so big, we'll never beat them."

And remember, Microsoft's market-strangling dominance is a utilitarian
issue as well as a philosophical one. It not only limits choice and
competition, but Microsoft's fear of open standards holds back
innovation in technology in society in more ways than I could possibly
count here. Also, nearly every computer in the world running an
operating system for which security is a tacked-on afterthought is an
enormous petri dish for horrifying new kinds of crime. So it's a real
fight, and though we may be a slim minority now, it's worth it to hang
on until Linux can mature into a serious competitor for Microsoft.

Besides, as our marketshare continues to fluctuate in the niche range,
Linux has been getting better and better. Five years ago, somebody new
to Linux practically had to be a CS major to install and maintain a
Linux system. Now, there's a decent chance that an Ubuntu Live CD will
run right out of the box. Ubuntu does absolutely everything that your
average user needs Windows for, and much, much more... before ever
even installing any of the amazing plethora of free applications
available with a few clicks of the mouse (and one--count it,
one--password prompt). If you look at Linux's maturation, you'll
notice another pattern... we're not _losing_ anybody. Once you've made
the switch to the penguin, there's no going back because the
difference is night and day. I'd say a slow crawl to more and more
users, more and more marketshare, and a more and more robust operating
system is good news all around. And now... we finally have our chance
to strut our stuff on PCs that you can buy off the shelf.

Now is the time for hope. Now is the time to congratulate Apple on its
inroads, and now is the time to congratulate Microsoft on its twenty
years of dominance that are slowly coming to an end.

[Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share

[Tina Russell]

Sorry for above; I added this bug to the new "Tabuntu" project and that
was the comment I confirmed it with. Errr, so it's out of context. Sorry
about that.

Thanks for the report, Jesus Freak; I'm a Portland native, and we
seriously ought to be Linux Central. This bug is also confirmed at the
University of Oregon, where despite near-universal disdain for Microsoft
among computer-science students, all you can find everywhere on campus,
even after searching high and low, are Windows machines and some Macs.
(The Macs, of course, are more popular.) If you're a graduate student,
you may even get access to _Solaris._ So, yes, this bug persists. If you
have any suggestions on how to fix this bug in this particular location,
contact me.

[Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share

[Tina Russell]

Microsoft has no competition in the tablet computer space. Moreover, the
Windows tablet features are actually pretty good. Fortunately, us open-
source types thrive on such challenges.

Windows being the only operating system suitable for tablets for most
users is a bug that severely limits the choice of operating system for
tablet users. We will fix this by allowing users to install a tablet-
friendly version of Ubuntu, or easily add such features to an existing
Ubuntu installation. This will, in turn, fix a related bug: the lack of
tablet-focused software for Linux systems. We will create a sea change
in Linux, computer, and creative culture, but we will do it one commit
at a time.

[Bug 77289] Re: revive ubuntu-calendar

[Tina Russell]

Regarding Twig's suggestion: I could totally do that! I live in
glorious, glorious Portland, Oregon a.k.a. Best Town Ever, so I could
take pictures of our Portlandia statue, our town square, and our block
of isolated, cubic Awesomium (atomic number 1337). But I guess what I
meant is that I'd like to see a return of the naked people. Those pics
were super beautiful and I'd like to do anything I can to convince the
people who used to do those to do them again, because they were so
great, they made my head explode. But, obviously, anything we can do in
that spirit is great, too. I'd love to see the naked people return but
any kind of monthly calendar, featuring the human figure or not, would
be great. I guess I'm saying, "remember the naked people!" even though
something like that wouldn't have to be the "main" monthly desktop.

I want to say where I'm coming from: I do life drawing, so the sight of
naked people doesn't really shock me anymore. I just saw the old ubuntu-
calendar package and the pictures were so beautiful and contained so
much positive energy that I want to do absolutely anything I can to get
those going again. So, as we discuss a new monthly calendar, which is a
great idea, I just want to say, remember me and the naked people lobby.
Some people liked those! I know some conservative communities wouldn't
like them, but that's merely why they should be tucked away in the
package manager and not the default option. Ubuntu is meant to be for
all cultures, and we're under no obligation to censor ourselves for the
most restrictive community's standards (think about it, should we make
sure that women have their hair always covered up in Ubuntu art so as
not to offend communities were that is taboo?). When I saw that early
Ubuntu art recognized that respect for human beings includes a basic
reverence for the human body, I was so happy I wanted to cry. So, I will
move heaven and earth and whether any storm of controversy to bring
those back again.

What can I say? Art makes me crazy, and I love people.
