[Bug 968974] Re: Some free applications looks like paid applications with price 0.00 and with buy button

2013-11-20 Thread michael perigard
still present while downloading free game 'wakfu' through software
center in 13.10 - asked to 'buy' and log into ubuntu one

all my comments are repeats of and agreements to the above; 'purchase'
or 'buy' as a button never ever makes sense gramatically in English for
obtaining a free product- there should be an 'install' button which is
consistent with the rest of the software catalog. if the software
catalog is having issues with free as in beer vs free as in speech,
that's a shame, because it should be a bastion and showcase for apps
that are free in both regards, as well as showing how free as in beer
but closed source apps play well with their FOSS friends and
alternatives. instead it seems the software center isn't even designed
to showcase free, closed-source apps that should be a simple automated
install :(

as usual, ubuntu doesn't have enough developers to keep up with 18 month
old UX bugs, and the debian core remains usable while the ubuntu user
experience looks well intentioned but unmaintained :/ not complaining,
just lamenting- I have neither the time nor the experience to contribute
more to ubuntu, and I don't expect others to pick up the slack. just
making an observation that ubuntu's most polished features tend to
appear as if they are perpetual alpha-builds.

oh, hm. wishlist you say. because the bug is lower-priority than low,

put creating and uploading a patch on my todo list. 'do it yourself,'
after all... I just thought it would be quite a fast task for a

2011-10-11 Thread michael perigard
integration with pam-auth-update would be great, but privilege
separation in sshd turned on by default in ubuntu would cause this to
fail. I'm open to suggestions - I'm about to turn privilege separation
off because I can't find a better, simple home directory creation
solution, and I'd rather try to keep sshd up to date and on a non-
standard port than create a separate user with root privileges for ldap-
account-manager, or any of the other solutions Ive found to auto-create
home directories when adding users to an ldap-auth'd system.

2011-10-09 Thread michael perigard
Public bug reported:

this is ubuntu 11.04
debian-archive-keyring version 2010.08.28

/usr/share/doc/debian-archive-keyring/README.gz states:
Normally (i.e. if the apt-key binary is found), the keys contained in
  the debian-archive-keyring package will be automatically installed into
  apt's trusted keyring by the package's postinst script and keys that are
  in the debian-archive-keyring-removed will be automatically removed.

yet the keys are placed in /usr/share/keyrings/ (not
/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ ), and the postinstall script calls 'apt-key
update' which only checks for new keys in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ ,
therfore the keys are never added to the apt-keyring

2011-05-20 Thread michael perigard
Setting it in Preferred Applications does *not* work for me. Upon
opening Preferred Applications again, Firefox is again the default
browser.

this error appears when running gnome-default-applications-properties,
upon setting the default browser to chromium:

(gnome-default-applications-properties:28940): default-applications-
properties-WARNING **: Error setting default browser: Failed to create
file '/home/michael/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list.GGETVV':

and for some reason, ~/.local/share/applications and
~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list are both owned by root? seems
like this may be an unrelated bug... changing ownership of the directory
and file seems to solve the issue.

[Bug 558784] Re: changing the volume is impossible while muted

2010-10-25 Thread michael perigard
If this was a design choice, it's a poor design choice, if you ask me.
Consider this use case: audio is being played, and mute is toggled
because the audio is painfully loud. the audio source must then be
stopped to turn the volume down, otherwise the user is forced to deal
with the too-loud volume until the desired volume is reached. If I'm
using some sort of remote control to adjust the volume, say an infrared
remote, it may not be possible to quickly lower the volume while its un-
muted (maybe someone walks in front of me while I'm using the remote and
the volume-down action is stopped, causing me to hold the button down
again, and causing everyone in the room to deal with the too-loud audio
for a few more seconds). Plus, my great-grandmother isn't so great with
the mouse, and forcing her to un-mute the audio before changing it
effectively means she's going to stop the audio before un-muting so she
doesn't have to deal with the too-loud audio while she's changing the
volume level.

second use case where I can see this being a problem; when audio is
automagically muted because a speaker/headphone change has been
detected, saving me from possibly having way-too-loud audio coming out
of my headphones, I'm forced to stop the audio, un-mute, then change the
volume level, rather than just moving the slider and un-checking mute. I
think one of the largest uses of the mute toggle is when audio is
started and the volume was previously set too high for the new source.
I'm certainly used to toggling mute, turning down the volume, and
toggling mute again.

[Bug 103929] Re: Bash prompt string looks for xterm-color, gnome terminal identifies as xterm

2010-03-31 Thread michael perigard
So, here's the $64,000 question; is a colored prompt default in Ubuntu
when using a color-capable terminal or not?

I'm just advocating for some consistency here.

It seems odd to see

# set a fancy prompt (non-color, unless we know we want color)
case $TERM in
xterm-color) color_prompt=yes;;
esac

followed by

# uncomment for a colored prompt, if the terminal has the capability; turned
# off by default to not distract the user: the focus in a terminal window
# should be on the output of commands, not on the prompt
#force_color_prompt=yes

To me that says 'the default behavior is not to give you a color prompt,
unless you're using xterm-color, in which case we're going to give you
one, even though the default behavior is never to give you colored
prompts in all the other terminals that support color but don't happen
to identify themselves as xterm-color.'

If we're going to say that colored prompts are not the default in
Ubuntu, then I don't see why the chunk of code coloring xterm-color
terminal prompts still exists. It's confusing to me to see a colored
prompt when I log in from an OSX machine using iTerm, and then to see
the color disappear when I launch a screen. Makes the user (makes me,
anyway) feel like they must have done something wrong, because they have
a colored prompt sometimes and not other times. Having no colored
prompts altogether without changing the force_color_prompt variable
seems more consistent. I had no colored prompts, I changed the
variable, all my prompts are colored.

Even though I eventually found the force_color_prompt variable, I don't
like making changes to configuration files when I don't understand the
rationale behind the code (workarounds = bad ; accepted config changes
that will persist throughout updates = good). It also took a little
chunk of my morning to figure this all out, and I'm trying to save
everyone else the time :)

I also agree with those that think color prompts /should/ be the default
in any terminal that supports it, considering power users are more
likely to have a preference on color vs no color (and can easily change
the variable), and considering I agree that a colored prompt does not
distract nor take away from the output of a command, but in fact helps
the user locate the beginning of the output of the last command. Having
a different color for root vs non-root users (red vs green) would also
supplement the $ vs # prompt and helps users be wary when they are
logged in as root (though I'm thinking this was the behavior in Gentoo
and might not happen in Ubuntu since it discourages root logins
altogether).

Here's hoping the very simple block of script setting a colored prompts
for xterm-color terminals can be removed. Simple instructions could be
added to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommandlineHowto instructing users
which variable to edit for colorless (or always colored) prompts. As for
making people backport their .bashrc from /etc/skel, you're right, users
shouldn't need to do this, and changing the /etc/skel/.bashrc won't
affect existing users who have already configured colored prompts for
themselves or are happy with the current behavior. Removing the xterm-
color checking script from the skel/.bashrc would only affect new users
on a system, who, if they had used a *NIX before and noticed their
xterm-color terminals weren't giving color prompts, could find the
instructions on the wiki (or this bug report or the forum or blog posts
or other places it's bound to turn up eventually) and make the simple
change to their ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile or wherever the variable should
be set (I'm not an expert on shells and logins and environment
variables).

If a power user is currently sourcing skel/.bashrc from their ~/.bashrc
(as someone mentioned above), and we don't make colored prompts the
default for all terminals that support them, they will, unfortunately,
lose their colored xterm-color prompts, but if they're savvy enough to
know how to source skel/.bashrc, they should be able to figure out how
to change the force_ variable and restore them.

Lastly, I disagree with this being categorized as a Wishlist item rather
than a bug, though I try not to be in the habit of changing such things
when I'm not the package maintainer. At this point, the Ubuntu colored
prompt implementation is inconsistent for no reason apparent to me, and
I'm suggesting the behavior be consistent and make sense to a new-to-
Ubuntu user; colored prompts are on *or* colored prompts are off,
regardless of what someone decides the default should be.

As far as I can tell, the fix for this bug was committed after the
1.1.0.7 branch was released. Upstream has already fixed this in the 1.2
branch. I see that 1.1.0 is still being used in Lucid, so... this bug
will persist for the next six months unless someone creates a patch at
the debian/ubuntu level? Just hoping this gets in front of someone who
can do something about it before lucid is released.

confirmed still happening in karmic final. this is a show stopper for
me, possibly severe or critical importance? this bug renders
phpldapadmin nonfunctional with the latest php and phpldapadmin packages
in karmic. I'm not sure what the proper procedure is from here; suggest
another 1.1.x release from the debian maintainer? create another ubuntu
package with the patch applied and submit it as a necessary update to
karmic since phpldapadmin is unusable with latest stable package
1.1.0.7-1ubuntu1 ?

[Bug 301174] Re: Use proper sound event instead of system beep

2009-08-27 Thread michael perigard
I had sound on a laptop that worked flawlessly (as I experienced) in
intrepid, and upon installing jaunty, this behavior appeared. All of the
solutions I've seen proposed are not fixes for this bug; blacklisting
the pc speaker module, controlling the volume of the pc speaker in a
mixer.

This bug is the following: I can set an alert sound to be played, I can
pick an mp3 or wav in gnome-control-center, and upon triggering the
alert sound, all I hear is a beep. I assumed that this is some sort of
fall back behavior for when sound isn't installed or configured
properly, especially considering, and here's the kicker, that I get
absolutely no warning or error message from ubuntu upon trying to select
an alert sound. As far as a user is concerned, their audio is working
properly (I could still play music from rhythmbox, for example), but for
a completely unknown reason, the alert sounds just don't play.

There are many duplicates for this bug which propose blacklisting the pc
speaker or other such 'workarounds' or 'fixes' for this bug, none of
which explain or address why my audio works in some applications, but
some part of my system fails to play the alert sound.

If someone wants to point me to the bug where this issue is actually
being addressed, maybe I'm in the wrong place. Every duplicate I can
find, linked to this bug or not, all has the same 'resolution' listed,
involving the pc speaker mixer or blacklisting the module completely,
and to me, that is not a resolution for this issue. I've been attempting
to coral all the users who are experiencing this issue to the same bug
report, so that the developers can pin down why this happens, or at the
very least explain that it's a fallback behavior, and that it can be
caused by any number of issues with the user's installation, which have
to be addressed one by one. Right now we have a default install of the
ubuntu OS that leads users to believe that their audio is working, but
gives them no indication or error message as to why it wont play their
selected shutdown or alert sounds (among others?). To me that sounds
like a bug. As I said before, I'm not even sure this bug has been
assigned to the proper packages or projects. To me it seems highly
unlikely that metacity and compiz suffer from the same exact issue and
have the same exact fall back procedure. I haven't seen a single
definitive response from anyone, developer or not, that explains when
and why ubuntu chooses to play a beep instead of the alert sound defined
in gnome-control-panel.

[Bug 77010] Re: Overuse of system beep without volume control

2009-08-27 Thread michael perigard
Please see comment 26 on bug 301174, Use proper sound event instead of
system beep.

I don't think the issue here is the fact that users can't or don't readily know 
how to address the loud system beep that plays, I think the issue is that audio 
works for the user in other applications, but that the default alert sound 
selected in gnome-control-panel isn't played, with no reason given to the user, 
or any indication given to them that something is awry. Blacklisting the pc 
speaker module or adjusting the volume of the speaker sounds in your mixer are 
just work arounds, not fixes, and as far as
blacklist.conf: Blacklist pcspkr. It produces an ugly and loud noise,
getting on everyone's nerves. If still needed at all, this should be done
by a nice pulseaudio bing. (LP: #77010)
goes, if we can play a nice pulse audio bing, why can't we play the default 
alert sound selected by the user? To me this sounds like an issue with 
something underlying in the wm or audio subsystem, considering it appears in 
both compiz and metacity, in multiple applications (like firefox, 
gnome-terminal, and even the gtk+ demo application).
I'd love to hear from a developer (you know, then they get to it, not to sound 
antsy or anything :) ) about what causes the system beep to play instead of the 
selected alert sound, why the user isn't notified that the system couldn't play 
the selected alert sound, or even just that this is a fallback behavior from 
any number of issues that couldn't possibly all be resolved in one bug report. 
That way the individuals having this issue could give feedback and logs to the 
developers, and we could squash the or all of the bugs that are causing this to 
happen in the first place. I guess I just don't see 'make the pc speaker stop 
making noise' as a resolution for 'when I choose an alert sound in 
gnome-control-panel, a beep plays instead,' because it sounds like a workaround 
to me. I'm not complaining! work arounds are good, but in all the bug reports 
mentioning the system beep playiing instead of the alert sound, not one I've 
seen has addressed /why/ this is happening or how to get alert sounds to play. 
I'm also just another human like you, so if I've missed such an explanation or 
resolution, feel free to point it out to me and ill try to say thank you around 
the foot in my mouth :)

[Bug 301174] Re: Use proper sound event instead of system beep

2009-08-26 Thread michael perigard
Wishlist? No, I think we've lost sight of what issue this bug refers to.
I'm not terribly sure it's been assigned to the correct packages,
either.

In multiple applications, in both metacity and compiz, the computer acts
as old computers did when you had no sound card; there are no nifty wav
(mp3, ogg, whatever) sounds played, the computer only plays a beep. I'm
not sure where the problem lies. We've had confirmation that this
happens in transmission, firefox, gnome-terminal and in the GTK+ demo
application as well. No one (that I've seen) has confirmed this bug in
KDE or any other desktop environment (xfce, openbox etc) than gnome. I
find it hard to believe that this is an identical bug in metacity /and/
compiz- it seems more like a setting or library both of them draw upon,
like pulseaudio or alsa or the audio system somehow- maybe something
gnome related. Regardless (it may be a bug in both compiz and metacity
for all I know) this is certainly not a wishlist it is a bug, and a
reproducible one at that. A file is set as the default alert sound in
the gnome control center sound panel, yet that sound doesn't play, and
neither does the selected shutdown sound. I'm not sure why this was
changed to a wishlist item.

I'm going to give appropriate parties from compiz and metacity (who
should be subscribed to this bug) a few days to correctly triage this
bug before I set it to confirmed in both compiz and metacity, with
importance low (since I'm not one to define priority for other
developers). From what I understand of bug triaging, wishlist is for
adding non-critical features, not for categorizing when a program fails
to act as advertised.

For those looking to turn down the volume of or disable the beep
altogether, browse the comments of the duplicates of this bug - that has
been addressed elsewhere. You can usually find a mixer slider for your
speaker sounds and turn that down or mute it completely. The fact that
the beep is too loud by default is a completely different bug which has
been filed elsewhere, please excuse me for not remembering exactly where
or finding it for you right now. I'm just hoping this bug report gets in
front of the right people, which I don't think it has yet.

[Bug 280625] Re: Applications use the PC speaker beep for alerts altough a sound file is set up in sound settings

2009-08-26 Thread michael perigard
@Jouni Mettala

can you explain (briefly is okay) how this was fixed in gnome-terminal,
or are you a user and you noticed this bug no longer exists? I ask
because of bug #301174 where it was concluded that the issue did not lie
in any individual package but in something underlying like pulseaudio,
alsa, compiz, metacity etc.

If this issue no longer exists in gnome-terminal, its possible it no
longer exists in other applications, like transmission and firefox, and
that the gtk+ demo properly plays the alert sound as well.

sorry, davide. I only marked the bug you reported as the duplicate
because it was filed after this one.

I haven't been able to find this bug on the debian bug tracker, but I
don't know anything about the differences between the update process for
firefox in debian and ubuntu. if manually downloading firefox and
updating through firefox doesn't yield the same behavior, then it seems
to be an issue with the way ubuntu updates firefox.

br...@interlinx.bc.ca wrote:

 I just fail to see how unsolicited application pop-ups that cover a
 major portion of my screen real-estate is good UI design.

It's not good design. I don't think the Canonical team is even
suggesting it's good design. That's what I don't understand. I've been
watching this conversation for a while, and now that I saw Mark make his
comment, what I feared is true.

Some things we all agree on (maybe?):
The notification area shouldn't be a place to display open tasks; that's for a 
window list applet. If your task doesn't need to notify the user of new events, 
or a change in status, then it has no place putting an icon in the notification 
area.
Tasks with frequently changing status that don't have panel applets like to put 
icons into the notification area. I'm looking at Gajim right now in my 
notification area. The application has a setting which allows me to have the 
icon appear at all times, or only to appear when there are events I haven't 
given attention. The latter is, what I can tell, the intended purpose of the 
notification area. A quick glance shows me if there are any new messages since 
the last time I checked. No envelope? Back to ignoring it. (Usually sounds do 
the trick, but they aren't working for me right now :)

Now here's where the developers are starting to change things:
Bubbles as they used to be called, or as I used to know them as anyway, were 
little, tiny border- and decoration-less windows that popped up near the 
notification area (or in an area of our choosing). These bubbles were to give 
more information about an event that needed attention or a change in status 
than a simple icon change or animation. These bubbles became actionable (click 
on me to address the event, or ignore me to address it in your own time, and 
I'll go away in a few seconds). These bubbles became numerous and there was 
(still is) no standard for their content or the actions performed when clicking 
(or right clicking) on the bubble or the icon itself.

There was talk that the lack of standards led to security issues. Click
here to address this issue was construed by some as click on this
bubble, instead of the icon it was supposed to draw attention to. When
clicking on the bubble did nothing, some blamed the idea of having
bubbles at all as being too confusing because of the lack of standards,
rather than addressing the poor UI of that particular bubble. Couldn't
we have made clicking on the bubble and the icon do the same thing? Some
people see the lack of a specific, coherent standard of content and
click behavior as freedom put in the developers hands for how they want
their user to interact with their programs and vice-versa. I'm guessing
that 'some' definitely includes individual application developers more
than developers of the desktop itself. The issue became that
notifications were falling by the wayside, that some bubbles were more
critical than others, but since there was (is) no standard, people
weren't giving critical notifications their due.

I certainly see where the developers of the desktop as a whole are
coming from here. Bubbles were non-standard, notifications were being
missed, and now some developers are starting to use their own bubbles,
bypassing libnotify altogether (think quod libet and a few other audio
players with their own song change notification OSD). Now you've got
bubbles over bubbles, bubbles that don't look like other bubbles, and no
consistent way to manage all of your bubbles, what events trigger a
bubble, what clicking on a bubble does-- you get the idea. All because
someone wanted to give more information that a simple icon in a
notification area could give without being clicked or hovered. And all
these bubbles caused people to wait for a bubble, because if an icon
appears without a bubble, the icon must not be that important.

I think the issue the 'community' represented here is trying to express
is that the chosen answer to this 'swamp' of icons and bubbles was to
revert to what the bubbles were trying to avoid in the first place;
bordered, decorated windows that appear in window-switcher lists, window
list applets and other places where non-actionable notifications
shouldn't be. We've all gotten used to these handy bubbles, and in many
places, information wasn't presented to the user in detail before these
bubbles came along; we all dealt with new icons appearing in the
notification area. And all of us hate pop up windows. Let's face it;
popping up update-manager is *not* the same as notifying me that updates
are available. That's like saying opening my feed reader is the same as
notifying me that one of my feeds has updated, or popping up my mail
client in the background is the same as notifying me that I have new
email. This point has been made a few times, actually.

I personally think the issue should be to create a standard for icons in
the notification area. We have

I've seen where efforts to standardize something ends up completely
sacrificing options to customize. It's also that... there's just those

Ubuntu security is something that takes care of itself without you

think you should be able to draw a line at a point where you expect the
user to learn something about the operating system and how it works.

Oh, and I certainly wasn't advocating every application have their own
icon. If a program is running on another workspace or in the background
and doesn't need to notify me of state updates or new events, it
shouldn't take up any precious space on my desktop at all, in a panel or
not. Is the indicator-applet cross-desktop  (gnome, kde, xfce, etc)?
I've asked a few questions on the indicator-applet launchpad to no
avail. Maybe the update-notifier/manager should be the first application
to appear in the indicator-applet? :)

2009-03-08 Thread michael perigard
as best I can tell, this is the responsible package. from the description of 
the package:
This module enables PulseAudio to publish itself as the default sound server to 
the X11 root window automatically upon startup. The is also a module to 
playback a sound file in place of the X11 bell beep.
I hope I should assign it to this package and not pulseaudio. If this package 
isn't the problem, maybe we can track it down from here.

** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: None = pulseaudio

[Bug 282383] Re: system sounds don't play

2009-03-06 Thread michael perigard
I doubt this is a pulseaudio problem. I can play sounds and music through alsa 
via pulseaudio, and also through pulseaudio directly, and this bug affects me 
in jaunty. I'm assuming this has something to do with the way gnome is trying 
to play the alert and system sounds, none of which play when the event occurs. 
They do all play, however, when the preview icon is clicked in the sound 
control panel. The login sound plays, but the logout and system beep sounds are 
beeps out the pc speaker. Disabling the 'play alert sound' option stops the 
beep out of the pc speaker as well.
If this isn't a bug in gnome-desktop, I apologise, but I think it's somewhere 
in gnome, since I don't seem to be having any other pulseaudio problems, 
through alsa or not.

** Changed in: gnome-desktop (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: pulseaudio = gnome-desktop

I think this may be a dup of 280625, which seems to be the same thing.
In any application, terminal, firefox, gajim, the default alert sound is
replaced by a pc speaker beep. If someone does figure out where this is
coming from, one or the other possibly should be filed as a dup of the
other one.

[Bug 310551] Re: Timers don't work in Kubuntu Jaunty.

2009-03-04 Thread michael perigard
psst, check the bug on the workrave bugzilla. the bug isnt kde or gnome
specific, it had to do with an X upgrade, and the bug has already been
addressed and a fix coded. note that the bug status even here on
launchpad says fix released, implying that one of, if not the next
version of workrave to appear in the repository will have the fix
applied.

I know you were probably just trying to help confirm the bug, but please
try to follow the link to the upstream bug tracker and learn all you can
about the bug there, too.

[Bug 54294] Re: Failed to allocate mem resource #6 ...

2007-10-31 Thread michael perigard
I'm receiving the message too, while booting the gutsy alternate install
cd, but from the kernel.org bugzilla for this bug:

So I would suggest we close this as apparently confused BIOS, but Linux
works. ... Greg, could you please consider removing that message, or 
rephrasing it
in some manner so that it is less alarming? ... The message is now gone in 
2.6.23.  Closing this bug.

But I'm not sure how to update the status of this bug to reflect this.
It's marked as confirmed for two versions of the linux source, but
unless someone packports the change into a patch (?), then there wont be
a fix on any linux source version before 2.6.23. Maybe mark them as fix
released, and the fix is upgrade your kernel to 2.6.23 to remove the
message (when it becomes available) or ignore it as a warning...

[Bug 33721] Re: freeciv-client-xaw3d: sound and fonts missing

2007-10-21 Thread michael perigard
From 
stdsounds.soundspec in the stdsounds3.tar/gz file found today on 
ftp.freeciv.org/freeciv/contrib/sounds/sets

[info]
artists = \
 OpenQuartz - Ali Jackson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [ali]\
 OpenQuartz - Frank Condello ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [pox]\
 Warzone - Eidos Entertainment (GPL release) [warzone]

so the sounds are from OpenQuarts and Warzone, both GPL.
