[Bug 970844] Re: Session off center when starting

2015-02-06 Thread jshanks
Hasn't been any activity recently?  Has anyone tried to fix it?  I can
confirm that it happens 100% of the time on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS using both
RDP and VNC remotes.

Start Remmina, connect to remote PC with RDP or VNC.  The remote screen
starts off center.  Have to manually center the screen to view the
remote.

[Bug 187662] [NEW] Live CD Installer can't install at 800x600

2008-01-31 Thread jshanks
Public bug reported:

The initial Install window popped up by the installer on the desktop
is not scrollable, resizeable or small enough to display at 800x600.

On any machine where the Live CD cannot detect the video properly, the
default resolution is 800x600.  That would be no big deal if it were
possible to just install at that point and then fix the video
configuration.  Problem is, the only way to install is with the
Alternate CD as you can't press a Next button that you can't see.

This problem was reported before in Gutsy, and now really should be
fixed as most of the window is just white space.

I'll attach an 800x600 screenshot.

Hello Murat,

Thanks for the reply and putting this one in the rights spot.  I guess I
did know this was reported before, but I just assumed it had been fixed
and worked it's way back in somehow.

I'm not trying to be condescending, really, but why hasn't this one been
fixed?  I don't see this problem with Linux Mint or any of the Ubuntu
derivatives I've tried.  This is the kind of bug that drives the average
user away from a distribution and even Linux in frustration.  I know any
experienced Linux user can work around this one, but it's a showstopper
for the average noob.

Anyway, Thanks again,
Jim Shanks

[Bug 175326] Networking sets up a default route to every interface

2007-12-10 Thread jshanks
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: network-manager

I've seen similar bug reports, but wasn't sure if I should just add to
them or report this one as new.

I have a test machine with two network interfaces.  Gutsy detected them
as eth0 and eth2 (I don't know why no eth1, but for this bug it doesn't
matter).

The usual configuration for this machine is to have one network card
(eth0) connected to the 172.17.x.x network and the other to the
192.168.0.x  network.  My router to the Internet is on the 172.17.x.x
network, so I want the default route (0.0.0.0/0) to be to eth0.

Problem is, for some reason, Gutsy insists on setting up two default
routes.  When I look at the routing table, I have two default entries,
one to eth0, and one to eth2.  Unless I've missed something very
fundamental in my networking theory, there can be only one default route
(no load balancing).  What's even more unnerving, is the fact that the
first default route in the table always seems to be the wrong one.  That
may just be bad luck, but it's quite annoying.

Just a side note, I multi-boot this machine with Windows XP, RHEL 5
(soon to be 5.1) and Ubuntu.  The networking works correctly with RHEL
5.0 and Windows XP.

OK, I think I've found the source of the problem, I'll attach a
screenshot of the error.  It seems that the new nsplunginwrapper has a
dependency of ia32libs version 1.6.  The newest version in the archives
is 1.5.  I don't know when this started, but I would assume that it was
after the time that some people installed the nspluginwrapper package.
Possibly it would have worked if I had simply done an upgrade rather
than a complete new install.  In any case, something is broken.

avallark - I'm just downgrading to the i386 version for now . . . it
seems that most of the critical ia32 libraries are missing/can't be

I wish one of the packagers/developers would chime in on this one . . .
It would be helpful to know if the libraries are ever going to be

[Bug 153644] zeroconfig breaks hostname.domainname.local

2007-10-17 Thread jshanks
Public bug reported:

I know this has been reported before, and always flagged as Won't fix,
but I think this really deserves at least a look.

Problem:  A user purchases a new Ubuntu computer is shipped with
zeroconfig enabled, brings it to work and plugs it into the network that
has been configured using Microsoft's recommendation
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296250) for domain names
(hostname.domainname.local) and it won't resolve local hosts.  The user
is not a computer geek  (he called me for that), and he can't figure out
what's wrong.  A quick rearrangement of the nsswitch.conf fixed the
problem, but the average user would have just followed the
recommendation of their IT dept. and switched to Windows.

Even though .local has been reserved as the domain name not the
extension for hosts on a zero config mDNS network . . . Is there any
reason why hostname.domainname.local can't resolve to unicast DNS?  I've
spent hours reading the specifications, and don't see why this isn't
possible.

So:

hostname.local = Multicast DNS
hostname.domainname.local = Unicast DNS

This should work with both Microsoft's recommendation and with
Zeroconfig.

[Bug 80900] Re: problems resolving fully qualified domain names on Kubuntu feisty

2007-10-16 Thread jshanks
The bigger problem in large organizations is that the use of domain
names ending in .local is the recommendation from Microsoft for server
2000 and 2003 configurations.  It's also well documented in other
places.

It's unfortunate that .local was chosen for mDNS.  In many cases, (mine
included), we have hundreds of machines already configured with the
.local domain name, plus internal Intranet servers, SQL services etc.
It's going to take some major time to fix the problem, just so people
can use Linux boxes with avahi installed out of the box.

[Bug 137656] Re: Samba Backport Urgently Needed

2007-09-06 Thread jshanks
rvjcallanan - I feel your pain on this one.

For the past 5 years I've been managing two networks running Linux/Samba
servers as primary domain controllers with no Microsoft servers and a
mix of Linux and Windows clients.

In every distribution that I've tested
(Redhat/Suse/Ubuntu/Debian/Slackware), Samba has pretty much been
treated as the redhead stepchild.  Even in their so called enterprise
version, the recommended Samba configurations generally give about as
much functionality as directory sharing in Windows 95.  Manually editing
scripts, installing unsupported packages and compiling software seems to
be the rule if you want a fully functional Samba domain controller.
Especially if you want to use LDAP, DHCP and Dynamic DNS with Samba.
Which to me are the basis of any fully functioning domain controller.
And to top it off, most of the information you'll find googling Samba
configuration, is either completely outdated or totally wrong.  I can't
even imagine anyone with limited experience with SMB/CIFS and TCP/IP and
LDAP and the rest even attempting to setup a fully functional, mission
critical system.

Over time it looks like the problem has been that the Samba Team, of
whom I have great respect, has been rapidly developing Samba and has
never really been happy with any production product.  Or at least
happy enough to maintain a bug-fix only version.  And it's really not so
much that Windows changes require all of the newest features in the
latest Samba.  Face it, even Vista with a few tweaks will connect to an
old NT file server.  It might not have the latest functionality, but if
it's new functionality you're looking for, you'll have to upgrade
something anyway.  It's really more the fact the the Samba Team is
always looking ahead to the new version and abandoning the old version
and on the way breaking compatibility.  Usually the clients aren't
affected, but the server configuration definitely is affection from
version to version.

Anyway, enough rambling . . . you're right.  6.06 by itself doesn't cut
it as a Windows domain controller/server unless you're willing to
manually install the latest Samba packages because there are really no
backports of the latest patches.  It might be worth noting though, that
there are distributions out there that are getting better.

Maybe we need a Samba/OpenLDAP/DHCP/Bind DNS server project that is as
easy to use a LAMP.  After all there are only so many UNIX servers out
there to replace and small and medium businesses out there would be more
than willing to give a Linux server a try if it supported their clients
out of the box.  Ubuntu Small Business Server.  Catchy!

[Bug 137656] Re: Samba Backport Urgently Needed

2007-09-06 Thread jshanks
I'm not sure that the Samba Team is really the right place to lay blame
for the lack of a stable Linux/Samba server.  They are coders.  Samba is
not an application like OpenOffice.org, or Totem.  Samba is a very
complicated CIFS server with most of the bells and whistles.  And they
really don't have much control over how it's implemented in any
particular *nix.  There are just too many variable for them to expect
them to do a feature freeze.

Like any part of Linux that's not an application (i.e. Xorg, Gnome,
OpenLDAP, PAM etc.)  the decisions of how it works really needs to be
done in the distribution.  Where decisions of how to implement Samba
along with the related packages can be made for the end user in a
sane default configuration.  Like I said before, the auto-
configuration in almost all distributions provides the functionality of
Windows 95 file sharing.  That's perfectly fine for a desktop operating
system or occasionally copying a file to a Windows client, but it's
vastly inadequate for a domain controller/file server/print server with
database sharing, file locking, full security, group rights, individual
rights, etc.

All of these things can be done, all of the tools are there, I have it
working.  Problem is, it takes years of experience to make it relatively
easy.

Here again, I think there should be a distribution designed primarily as a 
simple Domain Controller/File/Print Server.  It should be a drop in replacement 
for Windows NT (Not 2003).  Active Directory is serious overkill for most small 
businesses.  Not to mention a general pain.  Actually you can freeze any 
version of Samba you want.  Anything over 3.0.14 will do what you need it to do 
as long as:
(1)  The security patches are backported
(2)  The bugfix patches are at least considered for backporting if they apply 
to the default sane configuration.

Any new functionality should be added only in the event that there is no
other option to fix a major bug.  (Vista)  :)

Is anyone else interested in this?  I'm not a coder (used to be, but got
out of it a looong time ago)  but I have had success in making it work,
and would be interested in sharing experiences, scripts, config files
and any other info as well as documentation.

I would also like to note that Ubuntu Desktop is the best *NIX that I've
used to connect to a Linux/Samba server.  I works great.  A file server
distribution would be a fantastic addition to the Ubuntu experience and
once again like the easy-to-use desktop, Ubuntu can be first.
