[Bug 609934] [NEW] Uninformative bluetooth error message: This feature cannot be enabled because the required packages are not installed on your system

2010-07-25 Thread Scott Severance
Public bug reported:

In trying to figure out how to use bluetooth, I came across this
problem.

1. Go to Bluetooth Preferences.
2. Click the Receive Files button
3. A dialog appears. The titlebar reads, Personal File Sharing Preferences.
4. A message at the top of the dialog says, This feature cannot be enabled 
because the required packages are not installed on your system.

This is a rather uninformative error. Which packages are missing? It
should either: a) Offer to install the missing packages, or b) list the
missing packages so users can install them themselves.

I'm running Lucid Netbook Edition.

[Bug 608515] Re: Can't establish audio or video calls

2010-07-23 Thread Scott Severance
ubuntu-restricted-extras is already installed. I deleted
~/.gstreamer-0.10 as instructed, but that didn't change anything.

Of possible interest: When I first deleted the dir, trying a video call
didn't re-create it. I then fired up Rhythmbox, which re-created it. But
regardless, nothing changed.

This seems to be an uncommon error (considering that Google isn't too
helpful). I just wish the error message were more informative about the
nature of the problem.

[Bug 608515] [NEW] Can't establish audio or video calls

2010-07-21 Thread Scott Severance
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

When I try to place either an audio or a video call to a GTalk user, I
get the following error message:

Can't establish audio stream
There was a failure in the call engine
Technical details
Could not create the valve element

When I receive a call from a GTalk user, my webcam lights up for  0.5
s, then it turns off and I get the same error as above.

Google searches suggested installing gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad, but that
made no difference; the error is the same.

[Bug 597241] [NEW] Multiple correct answers regarding the odd sport out

2010-06-22 Thread Scott Severance
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gbrainy

The following question has more than one correct answer:

Which of the following sports is the odd one? [should be odd one out]
a. Tennis
b. Cycling
c. Basketball
d. Water polo

According to gbrainy, the correct answer is B, because it's the only one
that doesn't use a ball. However, D is also correct since it's the only
water sport in the list. Gbrainy rejects D, however.

[Bug 592489] Re: sabayon-apply hosed my system due to inadequate documentation

2010-06-22 Thread Scott Severance
Perhaps I should have said highly unusual instead of weird. At any
rate, I can't recall using a program before that works as sabayon-apply
does. I'm not questioning whether sabayon-apply's behavior is
reasonable, but I do think that this bug deserves an importance setting
higher than wishlist, considering the potential for damage.

  sudo sabayon-apply profile_name

  out to be broken) to root, NOT newuser! Thus, my system is now hosed as
  I've been unable to figure what got changed; all I know is that now apps
  like the Users Settings app complains, You are not allowed to modify
  the system configuration.

[Bug 572016] Re: Disk check message is grammatically incorrect

2010-06-22 Thread Scott Severance
While it's usual for short messages to have no end punctuation, and it's
quite reasonable to say your disk drives since your means possession
(not ownership), the comma splice is annoying. I suggest either the
version suggested by Jonathan or the following (which I prefer due to
its greater simplicity): Your drives[1] are being checked for errors;
this may take some time.

[1] The original message refers to disk drives, but I presume that there
isn't a separate message for solid-state drives.

2010-06-08 Thread Scott Severance
I'd like to second iEGL's suggestion to remove Hangeul from that font.
After all, Hangeul is pretty much irrelevant to Chinese, which is the
focus of that font. And there is already adequate Hangeul coverage
included by default without that font. Let that font do its job of
handling Chinese, and let Korean fonts handle Korean (by the way, Korean
rarely uses Hanja; Hangeul is used almost all of the time). Why should a
Chinese font include Hangeul?

[Bug 240300] Re: Tomboy shows the Search All Notes window on login under certain circumstances

2010-04-19 Thread Scott Severance
Raphael,

This bug is different from bug 112703, I think. This bug only occurred
when I was logging in via the fingerprint scanner. For some reason which
I no longer remember, I apparently didn't follow up on Pedro's requests
for more information, and I no longer have the capability of testing
whether this is still an issue, so the most appropriate status, I
suppose, is Invalid.

Bug 112703 is about multiple instances of Tomboy running, which I don't
think could have been the case in my situation.

[Bug 414406] [NEW] imagewriter gives dd the wrong path and hoses the partition table

2009-08-16 Thread Scott Severance
Public bug reported:

I'm using usb-imagewriter 0.1.3-0ubuntu1 on Ubuntu Jaunty. When I tried to 
write an image, imagewriter issued the following command:
--
dd if=/home/scott/bin/install/iso/ubuntu-9.04-netbook-remix-i386.img of=/dev/sdb
--

Of course, writing to the device instead of the partition hosed my USB stick, 
forcing me to use fdisk to wipe everything and start over. GParted couldn't 
understand the stick; fdisk showed four partitions (instead of one as expected) 
and reported errors:

I've had very little experience with manual memory management (my
programming preferences tend to involve languages with automatic garbage
collection), so I might be showing my ignorance here, but it seems to me
that if you call malloc(), you should call free() when you're finished.
If the memory footprint is growing--even if there's a peak somewhere--
then some memory isn't getting freed, right? If that's the case, than
it's a bug.

being changed appropriately, as does plugging and unplugging my machine.
However, the screen brightness never actually changes. I haven't found
anything even remotely relevant in
/var/log/{syslog,kern.log,acpid,dmesg}.

My system is a Lenovo ThinkPad R61i running Intrepid. I'm currently
running kernel 2.6.27-11.27. I'm not certain I'm reporting this bug
against the correct package. Of the recent updates, there are three
possible candidates: gnome-power-manager is the least likely, since I'd
think that twiddling /proc settings is at a lower level than g-p-m.
Another candidate is acpi-support, but those updates came a bit too
early, I think, and they didn't appear to have anything to do with the
brightness setting. That leaves kernel updates which have been very
frequent the last several days.

My symptoms are very similar to those described in bug 198476, but since
that bug is fixed, and this is a recent regression, it's presumably not
the same bug.

[Bug 115131] Re: When upgrade manager crashes, upgrade can't be resumed

2009-01-30 Thread Scott Severance
Reopening, because this bug isn't really related to Edgy or Feisty. It's
about the fact that in the event of an update manager crash, there needs
to be away to resume from the breakpoint. Waiting for another crash--
which might or might not happen--to determine whether this capability
still needs to be added doesn't make sense.

(If this bug has been fixed without being mentioned here, then the bug
should be marked Fixed, not Invalid.)

[Bug 162138] Re: [apport] package update-manager failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: SystemError in cache.commit(): installArchives() failed

2008-12-06 Thread Scott Severance
I haven't been able to reproduce this issue (I haven't really tried--
especially since I don't know a recipe to reproduce it, the machine that
experienced the problem is now a pile of parts, and both of my working
machines are now running Intrepid). It appears that crucial debugging
info might have been lost since I couldn't find the relevant logfiles
until Pedro requested them after I'd already completed the upgrade and
presumably overwritten key info.

So, given that it's a bit difficult to track down non-reproducible bugs,
perhaps the focus of this bug could be shifted to providing better
information in apport on what files might be relevant to attach.

When I upgrade to Intrepid after the release, I'll test that. However, I
doubt whether any fix to apt-cacher can fix this bug, since apt-cacher
is behaving correctly. It's update-manager that doesn't correctly handle
APT's configuration option Acquire::http::Proxy. The proof is that when
sources.list is modified to force use of the proxy, update-manager
works.

[Bug 282942] Re: Segfault caused by apt.package.Package.installedPriority

2008-10-14 Thread Scott Severance
So I've now heard from two people, neither of whom can reproduce this. I
also tried to reproduce it on my other machine and three virtual
machines (hosted on the same machine that I'm having problems with).

If no one can reproduce this, then it's difficult to pinpoint the bug.
So it appears that it's up to me to track this down. The problem is that
I don't know how to troubleshoot something like this. I've tried running
in pdb, but the segfault takes pdb down with it. /var/crash is empty. So
how can I troubleshoot this further?

Also attached is a capture of the crash. Note, however, that the crash
happens in one place if I run apt_crash_test.py, another if I run
apt_crash_test.py | less, and a third if I run apt_crash_test.py 
outfile.

2008-10-13 Thread Scott Severance
Public bug reported:

Python 2.5 segfaults in some circumstances when examining the property
apt.package.Package.installedPriority. The following interactive Python
session reliably reproduces the crash (I'm running Hardy):

[Bug 240605] Re: ThinkPad R61i won't resume from hibernation

2008-08-28 Thread Scott Severance
I might have made some progress on this. Reading this post:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5168992postcount=5 gave me the
idea to check if my initramfs was incorrect. It turns out that my
initramfs is missing the file conf/conf.d/resume.

I presume that this is because when I installed I didn't use swap. I
have 3 GB of RAM, so the only use I have for swap is for hibernation--
but I didn't know that swap was necessary for hibernation when I
installed. I now have 3 GB of swap, but I haven't been able to find any
documentation on how to rebuild initrd.img-2.6.24-19-generic with the
proper resume information. I Googled this, but all I found was some
kernel documentation and a Gentoo wiki page. The kernel docs were above
my head (I know virtually nothing about the kernel), and the Gentoo page
appeared to use Gentoo-specific commands. Later note: I just found the
Debian kernel handbook page on initramfs, but if it answers my
questions, I'm too dense to find the answer. I don't think I'm trying to
generate a new initramfs using the method detailed there. I'm trying to
change my existing one (or replace it with one that I altered).

I think there are two issues here:

  1. There should be some documentation about avoiding this situation, along 
with how to fix it.
  2. Changes to swap configuration should be automatically detected, and 
initramfs should be updated automatically. I have no idea how difficult this 
would be. Perhaps it's infeasible at present. But it really should be automated.

While I realize that this isn't a support forum, I would appreciate
suggestions as to how to rectify this situation. You could consider it
part of the documentation. :)

[Bug 245716] [NEW] file-roller puts temporary files in the home dir instead of /tmp

2008-07-04 Thread Scott Severance
Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a tarball with file-roller
2. Open a file within the archive without explicitly extracting it. (Such as by 
double clicking the file)
3. Notice that the file is extracted to a directory ~/.fr-*
4. Close file-roller. If you used file-roller's GUI to exit, the temporary 
file(s) and directory are deleted. However, if you kill it via SIGTERM or 
logout without exiting file-roller (I presume that sends either SIGTERM or 
SIGHUP), the temp files are left behind.

There are two problems with this:

1. file-roller should clean up its temp files on exit, regardless of the exit 
method (with the obvious exception of SIGKILL, which can't be trapped).
2. The proper place for temporary files is /tmp. Dotfiles in $HOME are for 
program settings and the like. In the event that file-roller doesn't clean up 
its temp files, they just pollute $HOME and waste disk space. However, /tmp is 
cleaned on boot (or is it in shutdown?), so pollution and wasted disk space is 
minimized.

[Bug 243876] Re: Update-manager tray icon incorrectly complains about stale package information

2008-07-02 Thread Scott Severance
Thanks for looking into this.

Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be anything wrong now. When I was
trying to track down this bug, I noticed that one of my repos was giving
a 404 error, so I commented that repo out. Additionally, since I'd
copied my sources.list from the old machine to the new one, some of the
keys weren't installed. So, when I was troubleshooting this, I installed
the keys, so that aptitude updated without any errors. Yet, after
several updates, I was still experiencing the problem. That's when I
reported this bug. Several days later, I noticed that update-manager had
stopped complaining, and that /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-success-stamp
had been touched.

One other thing that might or might not be relevant: I use apt-cacher on
my network to save bandwidth. I don't know if it can cause these types
of problems or not.

Here's the output you requested, which appears to be correct, now:

[Bug 244742] [NEW] ruby1.8-dev should be recommended, not suggested

2008-07-01 Thread Scott Severance
Public bug reported:

Currently, rubygems suggests ruby1.8-dev. However, ruby1.8-dev should be
recommended instead--or even a full-blown dependency. If a gem requires
it, it will produce unintelligible errors. For example, without
ruby1.8-dev, installing the gem ruby-debug produces:

-
ERROR:  Error installing ruby-debug:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

/usr/bin/ruby1.8 extconf.rb install ruby-debug
extconf.rb:1:in `require': no such file to load -- mkmf (LoadError)
from extconf.rb:1
-

Apparently, mkmf is part of ruby1.8-dev, but how is someone who isn't
familiar with building gems to know that?

When someone installs rubygems, it's reasonable to expect to get
everything necessary for installing gems--unless rubygems itself takes
care of any dependencies. With ruby1.8-dev as a recommended package,
aptitude will install it automatically. If it remains suggested, then
how many people will realize that it provides essential functionality?
How many people regularly check to see which packages are suggested?

[Bug 243882] [NEW] Hyphenation doesn't work -- US English not installed properly?

2008-06-29 Thread Scott Severance
Public bug reported:

Today, I was working on a document that needed automatic hyphenation.
But I noticed that it wasn't hyphenating. So I went to Tools  Language
 Hyphenation. I got the following error dialog:

--
executing the hyphenation.:
English (USA) is not supported by the spellcheck function or is not presently 
active.
Please check your installation and, if necessary, install the required language 
module
 or activate it under 'Tools - Options - Language Settings - Writing Aids'.
--

Now, this is a US English system, so the US English hyphenator should
have been installed by default. First, I checked the settings as
recommended by the error dialog. Everything was checked. I checked to
see what was installed on my system and found openoffice.org-
hyphenation. However, for some reason that packages contains en_GB and
en_CA but not en_US. So, I installed openoffice.org-hyphenation-en-us
(why wasn't that installed by default?). Now, that same error pops up
the first time I manually run hyphenation. After I dismiss the dialog, I
get another dialog that says Hyphenation completed, which is false. No
hyphenation has taken place. Currently, the error dialog only appears
the first time I run hyphenation manually after starting OOo. I even
have to kill the quickstarter to get the error back.

Obviously, hyphenation should work automatically without any
configuration or installing any additional packages. The weird thing is
that it works on my other machines. The only difference I can think of
is that this is a fresh install of Hardy on this machine (though I
brought most of my home dir across). One other machine has been upgraded
from Dapper, through all the intermediate releases to Hardy. My old
laptop (now dead) was upgraded successively from Feisty to Hardy.
Neither of those machines have hyphenation trouble.

[Bug 243876] [NEW] Update-manager tray icon incorrectly complains about stale package information

2008-06-28 Thread Scott Severance
Public bug reported:

Update-manager sometimes pops up a tray icon complaining that I need to
update (I haven't figured out how it decides when to complain). Update-
manager itself displays the message, The package information was last
updated n days ago where today n is 17. Actually, I've updated
repeatedly today.

I've traced this to /usr/lib/python2.5/site-
packages/UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py in the method
_get_last_apt_get_update_text(). That function determines the last
update by calling stat on /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-success-stamp.
That file was last modified on 2008-06-11, even though I've updated
successfully today (2008-06-29). This is a new machine, and the last
modified date is approximately when I installed Ubuntu on it (I don't
remember the exact date).

I don't know whether this is problem with update-manager, or with apt.
I've tried updating both via update-manager and aptitude. That file
simply doesn't get touched.

[Bug 240615] Re: Dead keys don't work when certain Greek keyboard layouts are in the selected layouts list

2008-06-19 Thread Scott Severance
Both GTK_IM_MODULES and GTK_IM_MODULE are unset (at least, they didn't
have any value when I echoed them from the terminal--if there's a better
way to test them, do tell). I Googled for GTK_IM_MODULES and tried a few
of the values I found, with no effect. It doesn't help that
GTK_IM_MODULES is apparently undocumented (at least, Google can't find
dicumentation), so I can only guess that it has something to do with
input methods.

Today when I was trying this, I discovered that in the terminal,
RightAlt5 produces �� (less shows this as 82AC), while in other
apps, nothing results.

Public bug reported:

My laptop is a Lenovo ThinkPad R61i running Hardy. When I hibernate,
everything appears to be normal (is there a way to get a log of this so
I can check?). The crescent moon light on my laptop blinks, there's a
bunch of disk activity, then the machine powers off. However, when I
power it back on, it's as if I shut down normally, instead of
hibernating. Nothing is restored.

Public bug reported:

When the Greek Extended or Polytonic keyboards are in the list of
selected keyboard layouts, then dead keys don't work--even in unrelated
layouts. I've tested this with both the US International (AltGr dead
keys) and US Dvorak layouts.

By don't work, I mean that they produce no output themselves and don't
influence other keystrokes. For example, RightAlt5 should produce €
but it produces nothing. RightAlt' followed by e should produce é, but
it instead produces e.

[Bug 240300] [NEW] Tomboy shows the Search All Notes window on login under certain circumstances

2008-06-15 Thread Scott Severance
Public bug reported:

When I login to Gnome, Tomboy 0.10.1 (which is running as a panel item)
pops up the Search All Notes window under certain circumstances.

My computer is a Lenovo ThinkPad R61i running Hardy. When I log in the
normal way--enter my username and password at the GDM prompt--
everything's fine. But when I log in using the built-in fingerprint
scanner, several things happen differently. First, I get a prompt to
unlock the keyring so that nm-applet can access my WPA key. While the
password dialog is up (which doesn't appear when I log in using password
authentication) and Compiz is still starting--before I have a chance to
enter the password--Tomboy pops up its search window.

This is really odd behavior. I'm not sure whether the problem
interaction involves thinkfinger, pam, Hardy's password manager
(seahorse?), and/or NetworkManager. What is clear is that it doesn't
make sense to pop up a search window unless explicitly requested.

[Bug 233918] Re: [vinagre] Keybinding changes don't persist across sessions

2008-05-30 Thread Scott Severance
I disagree for three reasons:

1) The GUI offers the option to be able to redefine keys. As long as the
option is there, it's a bug for it to not work.

2) Redefining keys is a standard part of GTK (or Gnome--I'm not sure
which). It's a handy feature that works everywhere else I've tried it. I
know that Gnome delights in removing useful features in the name of
simplification, but doing so is a Bad Thing.

3) I don't see how it's possible to design a full-featured VNC client
without at least one keyboard shortcut. Once you switch to fullscreen,
you have to have some way to get back out. Adding a button to switch
back to normal mode would either potentially get in the way or require a
VNC toolbar or something, which would break the fullscreen. Vncviewer
handled this situation well. If you hit F8, it would pop up a menu. One
of the items on that menu was one to send F8 to the remote machine.
(There are many thing that vncviewer does wrong, but this isn't one of
them.)

[Bug 232485] Re: Vinagre impossible to uses de F1 and F9 keys o the remote computer

2008-05-22 Thread Scott Severance
Probably the best thing would be to use a popup like vncviewer; in
vncviewer, hitting F8 pops up a menu with the various settings,
including an option to send F8. Furthermore, F8 is vncviewer's *only*
keyboard shortcut, AFAIK.

A VNC client is a bit like a terminal app. Its job is to stay out of
your way so you can forget it exists. Just like gnome-terminal needs no
chrome (no menubar, no scrollbar, no statusbar, etc.), a VNC viewer
should have the bare minimum chrome (except for an F8 menu or equivalent
and a way to connect) so that it stays out of the way.

[Bug 113658] Re: When apt-cacher is used, Update-Manger fails (not #78673 duplicate)

2008-05-19 Thread Scott Severance
I'll try the workaround, but this really needs to be fixed. Aptitude
works from the command line. Why is update-manager reinventing the wheel
in the first place? Why not let aptitude do what it's good at?

Use case:
I have satellite internet with an inadequate bandwidth quota. I have two 
machines to upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy. If I can't use apt-cacher, I'll have 
to wait a month between upgrades. And Hardy fixes several Gutsy bugs that are 
really annoying.

[Bug 24250] Re: Doesn't honor gnome proxy settigs

2008-05-19 Thread Scott Severance
Please set the importance of this bug much higher than it currently is.
This bug is preventing me from upgrading from Gutsy to Hardy, because
for bandwidth reasons I have to use apt-cacher.

Note, though, that update-manager should follow APT's proxy settings,
not GNOME's settings.

[Bug 223346] [NEW] Clock applet doesn't support UTC

2008-04-27 Thread Scott Severance
Public bug reported:

The new clock applet in Hardy is great, but it doesn't allow me to
display UTC as one of the time choices. IRC meetings, etc., are often
scheduled in terms of UTC, and it's a legitimate timezone. Please add
support for UTC.

I'm not positive that this is the correct package to file this bug
under, but judging from debian/changelog, it appears that it is.

[Bug 210631] [NEW] Ruby dependency problem

2008-04-01 Thread Scott Severance
Public bug reported:

A recent forum discussion has alerted me to a problem with how the Ruby
packages handle depencencies.

Consider the case where a user doesn't have ruby on his or her system, and 
installs irb, assuming that it will install ruby as a dependency. However, irb 
depends on irb1.8, which depends on ruby1.8, NOT ruby. Now, our hypothetical 
user writes a Ruby script and starts the file with the standard
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
Unfortunately, that script won't run, because there is no program called ruby 
in the user's path. The ruby1.8 package installs its main binary as 
/usr/bin/ruby1.8. /usr/bin/ruby is owned by the dependency package ruby.

There needs to be some mechanism to ensure that /usr/bin/ruby is always
present whenever a Ruby interpreter is installed. I'm not very good at
packaging, so I'm not up on all the options, but isn't that what
/etc/alternatives is for? As a temporary band-aid, the other dependency
packages, such as irb and ri, sould have ruby added as an additional
dependency. That would ensure that /usr/bin/ruby was always present. But
the better approach would be to make ruby1.8 set up /usr/bin/ruby as an
appropriate symlink in such a way that having multiple versions of Ruby
is still possible.

2008-03-31 Thread Scott Severance
Changing the status to confirmed; it was marked incomplete, but that was
inappropriate as there was no request for additional info or anything
like that.

Nowadays, I'm a bit more ambivalent about this than I was when I first
filed this bug. I still think that it's probably a good idea, but auto-
select can get annoying if you're trying to edit the URL, and you can
click the favicon to select the whole thing, or hit ^L.

** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 60915
   usplash messes up colors on console

** Description changed:

  For command line work, I use differently colored prompts to help
  distinguish between machines. When I first installed Ubuntu, Dapper was
  the current version, and the colors worked equally well in gnome-
  terminal as on the console. When I upgraded to Edgy, my prompts broke.
  I've now done a clean install of Feisty and experienced the same thing.
  
  My laptop's prompt color is yellow/brown (actually, color codes 1;33m
  and 33m, respectively). They show up as a dark gray that is very
  difficult to read against a black background. Furthermore, the console
  fails to distinguish between bold and regular text, making my two colors
  identical.
  
  When I boot without the splash option, I get a different console font
  --beginning with Feisty. In this situation, my yellow/brown color scheme
  displays as brown/brown (due to the lack of distinction between normal
  and bold colors). But, that's better than dark gray. Still, I have to
  boot without usplash to get the benefit of readable text. (There must be
  some bug somewhere that prevents the console from being set up properly
  when usplash runs.)
  
  This bug occurs on my HP Compaq nx9010 laptop. My Edgy desktop behaves
  perfectly.
+ 
+ NOTE: This bug was, at one time, erroneously marked as a duplicate of
+ bug 60915. However, it's a distinct issue. Usplash affects how the
+ colors are displayed, but the colors are incorrect regardless of usplash
+ --usplash simply makes the situation worse.

Saïvann,

I'm not sure that I'm understanding you correctly. Which part are you
suggesting that I file separately? The problem is that the colors
display incorrectly. usplash affects how they're displayed, but either
way, they're wrong.

It seems to me that if I filed a separate bug, it would look pretty much
like this one. So I think it would be best for this bug to be unmarked
as a duplicate. I'd do it myself, but I can't find a way.

Am I missing something?

[Bug 188752] [NEW] Keep needing to re-enable printer

2008-02-03 Thread Scott Severance
Public bug reported:

I have an HP DeskJet 5150 connected via USB to my desktop. I think I can
print normally from my desktop, but I'm not sure, since I mostly use it
as a server.

I connect to my printer via IPP on my laptop. When I print, it'll print
the first inch or two of the document, then stop. I have to log in to my
desktop and re-enable the printer (I do it from the CUPS website,
localhost:631). Then, it prints normally.

My printer is configured to automatically turn itself on when it
receives a job, and back off after it's been idle for a while. The
problem only seems to occur for jobs printed when the printer is off. If
I manually turn the printer on before sending the job, if works fine.

This problem only started to occur within the last several weeks. Before
that, everything was fine. I can't remember, though, what updates came
at that time.

Other notes:
- Both my desktop and my laptop are running Gutsy.
- There is a forum thread which recounts other people's similiar 
experiences. Everyone who's posted so far is using an HP printer. 
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4262796
- Bug 139317 might be related to this one, but this isn't a duplicate, 
since the other one has already been fixed. And my problem didn't begin until 
long after the other one was fixed.

2007-12-10 Thread Scott Severance
I've upgraded by now. I believe that this *is* an update-manager bug,
because update-manager crashed. Update-manager shouldn't crash if
there's a network problem. Besides, I upgraded from the alternate CD, so
any network interaction was minimal.

I understand that sometimes there's not enough information to find a bug
in a particular bug report, but blaming a crash on the network and
claiming it isn't a bug makes it appear that you haven't really
understood the bug report.

[Bug 115131] Re: When upgrade manager crashes, upgrade can't be resumed

2007-12-07 Thread Scott Severance
Somehow I missed your last request. I'm not sure that you read my bug
report very carefully. This bug isn't about the crash so much as it's
about the aftermath. There is (or was) no way to resume an interrupted
upgrade. In other words, when running update-manager, it didn't offer an
upgrade any longer. Now, I don't know what the difference is, but the
lack of such an option is disconcerting. The upgrade button should be
present until the upgrade has been completed successfully.

As far as the backtrace goes: This bug was reported back in May. It
deals with an upgrade from Edgy to Feisty, so obtaining a backtrace now
would be impossible, particularly since the aftermath of the crash left
my system in an unusable state (see bug 115122, mentioned in my initial
report) so I ended up doing a clean install of Feisty, which has since
been upgraded to Gutsy. Any automatic backtrace or log message no longer
exists. Besides, a backtrace won't help this bug, anyway.
