[Bug 1027] Re: Keyboard input not accepted after copying selection with Control-C
Just a follow up on this (and some others) bug(s). [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname -r 2.6.15-27-amd64-generic I am running Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Dapper Drake distribution. It comes with the nedit binary compiled to use the LessTif clone. NEdit 5.5 Sep 30, 2004 Built on: Linux, x86-64, GNU C Built at: Oct 8 2005, 20:15:23 With Motif: 2.1.0 [@(#)GNU/LessTif Version 2.1 Release 0.93.94] (UNTESTED) Running Motif: 2.1 [unknown] Server: The X.Org Foundation 7000 Visual: 24-bit TrueColor (ID 0x21, Default) Locale: C I am also running a box with dual-head system, running the nvidia drivers, render acceleration, xinerama, etc. As a long time nedit user I had to track down this and some other bugs to make my new system work. These are my findings so far: 1) Dual Head Bug: === [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ which nedit /usr/bin/nedit [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ nedit X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 78 (X_CreateColormap) Value in failed request: 0x24a Serial number of failed request: 11 Current serial number in output stream: 13 Problem: 32-bit visual in X make the *Tif library (and Nedit) to crash. Workaround: nedit -xrm '*visualID: default' OR (using tcsh) setenv XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS 1; nedit Prevent the system to use the 32-bit visual. Follow up on the bug can be found here: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailatid=111005aid=1030467group_id=11005 2) Locked clipboard bug (this launchpad's bug): When attempting to copy something to the clipboard using nedit Ctrl+c I get: Attempt to copy to unlocked clipboard! Problem: This is a bug on LessTif that has not been fixed :-( Workaround: Compile nedit from source using the libmotif-dev Open Motif libraries, using 2.2.3-1.2ubuntu2. I created a statically compiled binary to prevent any dependency on libmotif (just in case I want to remove the library). [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/nedit-5.5/source$ ./nedit -xrm '*visualID: default' -V NEdit 5.5 Sep 30, 2004 Built on: Linux, x86-64, GNU C Built at: Sep 20 2006, 21:22:30 With Motif: 2.2.3 [@(#)Motif Version 2.2.3] (UNTESTED) Running Motif: 2.2 [unknown] Server: The X.Org Foundation 7000 Visual: 24-bit TrueColor (ID 0x21, Default) Locale: C [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/nedit-5.5/source$ printenv LANG en_US.UTF-8 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/nedit-5.5/source$ ./nedit -xrm '*visualID: default' UTF8 locale not supported. Follow up on the bug can be found here: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailatid=111005aid=1440331group_id=11005 Almost there... 3) Bug in Nedit to support the locale == Problem: User have a locale define, but Nedit is not taking it. It happens only with the motif libraries (not lessmotif). Workaround: unset the LANG environmental variable before invoking nedit. Follow up on the bug can be found here: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=1543796group_id=11005atid=111005 4) Copy Paste not working between nedit and firefox: = Problem: self explanatory Workaround: just select the text to be copied and use the mouse middle button to paste directly My final version of nedit: statically compiled version with the libmotif libraries. (for tcsh): alias nedit 'unset LANG; nedit -xrm '*visualID: default'' [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/nedit -V NEdit 5.5 Sep 30, 2004 Built on: Linux, x86-64, GNU C Built at: Sep 20 2006, 21:22:30 With Motif: 2.2.3 [@(#)Motif Version 2.2.3] (UNTESTED) Running Motif: 2.2 [unknown] Server: The X.Org Foundation 7000 Visual: 24-bit TrueColor (ID 0x21, Default) Locale: C Hope this helps. -- Keyboard input not accepted after copying selection with Control-C https://launchpad.net/bugs/1027 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi John. Is using this openmotif version a complete alternative to the lesstif version? -- Keyboard input not accepted after copying selection with Control-C https://launchpad.net/bugs/1027 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1027] Re: Keyboard input not accepted after copying selection with Control-C
openmotif is non-free (it's in multiverse), so is very much not an ideal option; it would require moving nedit to multiverse too. It would be much better to try to fix this in nedit (or lesstif if necessary) instead. -- Keyboard input not accepted after copying selection with Control-C https://launchpad.net/bugs/1027 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1027] Re: Keyboard input not accepted after copying selection with Control-C
It's been brought up that openmotif is non-free, so it must be a bug with lesstif. But I can't reproduce this behaviour eitehr on dapper 6.06 with the latest nedit... -- Keyboard input not accepted after copying selection with Control-C https://launchpad.net/bugs/1027 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The only caveat is that libmotif3 (openmotif) is in multiverse, but nedit is in universe. If all you care about is functionality, then openmotif is the better choice. In my experience, nedit is completely unusable with lesstif so openmotif is the *only* real choice right now.

However, it may be sensible to link nedit with openmotif in the meantime though, even if it means moving it to multiverse, because there's little point in shipping a completely useless program just so that it's free.

I had two computers (an old dual PII-350 which is now dead and a Dell D400 laptop which I no longer have) on which I couldn't reproduce it, and I now have two (different computers, a P4-3GHz and an HP dv5230tx laptop) on which I can. Reliably, repeatably, every time. I'd offer to help debug it but I'm heading off for a very long holiday tomorrow which will include long periods without 'net access (and anyway, I'm escaping from s/w development!). If there's been no progress by the time I return (mid-October) I'll be happy to do what I can to help fix it. Cheers, John -- Read Qoheleth and weep.

[Bug 1027] Re: Keyboard input not accepted after copying selection with Control-C
The almost working version (except for UTF8 not supported) built with openmotif is here: http://kirriwa.net/john/software/nedit/nedit- dmotif_5.5-1ubuntu1_i386.deb Unsetting LANG removes the UTF8 not supported error and it works perfectly. I've been using nedit-dmotif for over 12 months now and it's been fine. -- Keyboard input not accepted after copying selection with Control-C https://launchpad.net/bugs/1027 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1027] Re: Keyboard input not accepted after copying selection with Control-C
I was wrong about it having been fixed. I couldn't reproduce it on the Dell D400 I was using at the time, but I've recently installed dapper on an HP Pavilion dv5230tx and the bug is still there. I've also been able to reproduce it on a desktop machine running breezy. ** Changed in: nedit (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released = Unconfirmed -- Keyboard input not accepted after copying selection with Control-C https://launchpad.net/bugs/1027 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
