Somehow I missed your request for more information. I'm attaching the
files you requested, but since I've now completed the upgrade, some data
may have been overwritten.

When I filed the bug, I guessed that it might be incomplete, but I
wasn't able to find the relevant log files. Perhaps a note somewhere
about the location of the needed files would be appropriate.

[Bug 127654] Labels use the wrong dimensions and/or page size

2007-07-22 Thread Scott Severance
Public bug reported:

I'm trying to print name tags using Avery labels #5383 (US letter size).
However, when I try to print them, they're aligned wrong.

Although I've been careful to specify US letter size in the label
creation wizard, the created document is wrong. The settings dialog
available from the print dialog lists the paper size as A4, NOT letter.
In Format  Page, the size is given as 7.77 x 9.85. The correct page
size is 8.5 x 11.

Of course, printing with these settings simply doesn't work when I have
letter size paper in the printer's tray. (A4 paper isn't available
here.)

In addition, the labels are too short, so that they don't align with the
perforations on the paper. The labels are supposed to be 2 1/6 high,
but they're printing at approximately 2 1/8.

In case it's relevant, I'm running OpenOffice 2.2.0-1ubuntu4 on Feisty.
My printer is an HP Deskjet 5150 using the hpijs driver.

The fix has been committed, but it has to go through some quality
control testing before it's released to the wild. If you've been using
Ubuntu long enough, you might remember that there were a couple of
updates to Xorg that were broken and made serious trouble for a lot of
people. That's why thorough testing is important. Nonetheless, fixed
packages have been posted to this thread. You just have to download them

Thanks to the update's alerting me to this bug, I now have icons.
However, the fix didn't give me any icons (it didn't do anything

So, in summary, this bug isn't fixed.

No, this isn't a duplicate, although on rereading this bug, I can see
that I wasn't very clear. This is basically a complaint that the search
bar is different from what I would expect. I'd find a search bar that
searched for menu entries easier than a beagle search bar--especially
since I don't have any use for beagle.

In other words, this bug is about the way the search bar works, not
whether it is shown or not. As I write this, it appears to me that this
bug is really an upstream bug.

[Bug 119006] Re: OpenOffice.org crashes on startup

2007-06-17 Thread Scott Severance
Various other programs were crashing in my previous install. In this
install, I've only had trouble with OOo. I've run memtest86 already, and
it didn't find any problems with my memory. I think that there is
something wrong with my hardware, although I couldn't say what and I'm
not too good at troubleshooting hardware. But the fact that OOo is the
program with problems suggests that it might have something to do with
the way OOo works, as well.

I tried starting OOo again today, and the mystery deepens. It runs now,
but without any icons (toolbar, menu, program, settings dialog
expanders, etc.) . Also, in-document graphics are aliased and font
kerning is off. I'm attaching a screenshot that shows what I mean. How
could this occur (especially the lack of icons)?

I'm not sure that this is really a duplicate of bug 60915. Maybe it is,

booting without usplash results in better colors, but they still aren't
correct as there's no difference between bold and regular colors.

On every other console I've used--as well as terminal programs--bold
colors display as lighter colors. For example, bold brown is actually

In every Windows and Mac browser, clicking the address bar selects the

[Bug 119006] OpenOffice.org crashes on startup

2007-06-06 Thread Scott Severance
Public bug reported:

OpenOffice crashes on startup every time. First, it popped up a dialog
complaining that another instance of OOo was open (I guess a file was
locked) and asking what to do, but OOo crashed before I was able to
completely read the dialog. This was before any window appeared. If I
can find a way to attach the crash report, I'll do so--there doesn't
seem to be such an option on the bug report form.

I renamed my .openoffice.org2 directory, but that didn't make any
difference. OOo crashes every time. Sometimes immediately, sometimes
during the splash screen, and sometimes while it's in the process of
drawing the main window. It hasn't left anything in /var/crash after the
first time, though.

I'm running a fresh install of Feisty (but with /home preserved from my
previous install). I experienced OOo crashes (along with a number of
other programs crashing in Edgy, shortly before upgrading. I upgraded to
Feisty, hoping that the upgrade would solve my crashes, but it just made
matters worse. So I reinstalled. But OOo is still crashing.

[Bug 118902] Can't shutdown because an NFS share isn't being unmounted

2007-06-05 Thread Scott Severance
Public bug reported:

I have a particular NFS share that apparently is buggy. Once mounted, it
can't be unmounted, always reporting that it's busy. Consequently, the
system hangs toward the end of the shutdown process (at the partition
unmounting step, I believe). It's then necessary to use the Magic SysRq
functions to reboot in a somewhat-nice manner.

Here are the details. I'm experiencing the issue on a clean install of
Feisty, but I previously experienced it in Edgy (upgraded from Dapper).
My server is still running Edgy--also upgraded from Dapper. I have four
NFS shares in my fstab. Only one gives me problems. I suspect that
something's wrong somehow with it, but I don't know what to do to
troubleshoot it. One of my shares exports a subdirectory of the problem
partition; that share causes no problems.

I can work around the problem by writing a sysvinit kill script that
unmounts all partitions mounted on the troublesome mount, then remounts
the buggy share read-only. I run this script before any NFS or network
kill scripts (K02). When that happens, the partition gets unmounted
properly and doesn't hang the system.

I'm really not too sure about in which package this bug should be
addressed. I listed sysvinit because ultimately, there should be some
sort of timeout (at the minimum) so that a misbehaving program can't
hang the system. On the other hand, this might be an issue with NFS.

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.

[Bug 108290] Re: theme manager: segfault when accidently choosing cursor theme on icon tab

2007-05-23 Thread Scott Severance
I've tested it with the Feisty live CD and my buggy half-functioning
upgrade and haven't experienced any crashes. Apparently the other fix
worked.

However, it would be nice if something could be done about cursor themes
showing up in the theme manager in the first place. But that's an
upstream issue, isn't it?

[Bug 115122] Update manager crashed during upgrade and left no diagnostic information

2007-05-16 Thread Scott Severance
Public bug reported:

During my upgrade from Edgy to Feisty, the upgrade program that update-
manager crashed. It was in the process of installing packages, although
I wasn't watching it carefully enough to know which package was being
installed. All of a sudden the upgrade window vanished without a trace.
There was no error message, the exit status was 0, and and nothing was
printed to stdout.

This means that I don't think that it's possible to debug the crash.
There should be error messages when a program crashes.

If it's any help, when I re-ran update-manager, some package kept
causing a segfault with cupsys. I thought that it was the cupsys
package, but closer inspection revealed cupsys to be already installed
and upgraded.

Really though, this bug is more about the crash handling setup than my
specific crash.

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

2007-05-16 Thread Scott Severance
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: update-manager

My upgrade from Edgy to Feisty failed when the update manager crashed
(see bug #115122). When I tried to restart update-manager, it didn't re-
offer the upgrade, nor did it start the upgrade GUI. I don't know how
important the upgrade program (that powers the GUI) is, but it should be
possible to resume where the crash happened.

[Bug 108290] theme manager: segfault when accidently choosing cursor theme on icon tab

2007-04-20 Thread Scott Severance
Public bug reported:

When choosing an icon theme in gnome-theme-manager, cursor themes are
displayed in the list. Clicking one causes gnome-theme-manager to
segfault and brings down the GNOME session (sometimes leaving only the
wallpaper visible). I know that gnome-panel and nautilus both crash, and
I'm unsure what else crashes.

When logging in, GNOME hangs at the splash screen. I can't get back to
normal until I log in to a failsafe terminal session and run gnome-
theme-manager from there.

[Bug 105333] The More Applications window takes far too long to come up

2007-04-10 Thread Scott Severance
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-main-menu

My machine, which is running Edgy, is an older one with a slow processor
and little physical RAM (though I have lots of swap). When I click on
the more applications button, the window takes anywhere between 10-25
seconds to appear and become fully functional (sometimes it appears, but
the contents haven't yet been drawn). This delay seems to be caused by
the overhead of launching a separate, high-overhead process.

In my opinion, the delay should be no longer than 1 second, and whatever
measures necessary to avoid such a delay (using a single process,
keeping the application browser in memory, etc.) should be taken. The
application browser is in effect a menu, and should be just as easily
accessible--especially since there's no other way to access programs not
in the favorites list through gnome-main-menu.

I'm not sure if I'm reporting this in the right place. I installed the
package gnome-main-menu, not slab (which doesn't exist in the edgy
repos). I followed a link here from the Launchpad entry for gnome-main-
menu.

[Bug 105334] No search field

2007-04-10 Thread Scott Severance
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-main-menu

In screenshots of gnome-main-menu that I've seen, there is a search bar.
However, there's no search bar on my machine. Bug #84414 suggests that
it might be because beagle isn't running on my machine. But it shouldn't
matter whether I have beagle or any other search service running.

The most important feature of a search box would be to quickly provide a
way to start programs not listed in the favorites--especially since the
application browser takes so long to come up (see bug #105333). Running
beagle for the sole purpose of searching menu items (if beagle is even
capable of this) is overkill, and I have no other use for beagle since
locate works admirably for me.

I'm not sure if I'm reporting this in the right place. I installed the
package gnome-main-menu, not slab (which doesn't exist in the edgy

[Bug 68321] Re: Import Error: No module named ltihooks

2007-03-15 Thread Scott Severance
Why is this bug rejected? It's very much a legitimate bug in the
packaging system. Purging the package, then removing /usr/lib/python2.4
/site-packages/istanbul fixes it. This directory doesn't get recreated
on reinstall, so apparently it's left over from some previous version,
and the packaging scripts failed to properly clean up during some
upgrade.

Note that I initially installed Istanbul while running Dapper. Now, I'm
running Edgy.

[Bug 82131] totem and totem-mozilla dependency problem

2007-01-29 Thread Scott Severance
Public bug reported:

Currently, I have totem, totem-mozilla, and totem-xine installed, all at
version 2.16.2-0ubuntu1 (I'm running Edgy, by the way). I'm being
offered an upgrade of totem and totem-mozilla to version
2.16.2-0ubuntu3, but I can't upgrade due to dependency issues. apt-
get/aptitude/synaptic insist that I must switch to totem-gstreamer,
which is more incompetent than totem-xine. Clearly, something is broken,
because I've been using totem-xine since I installed Ubuntu (except for
when the Edgy upgrade unhelpfully reverted me to totem-gstreamer,
leading me to wonder for a while why I could no longer play the media I
was used to playing).

[Bug 82123] Re: bash (feisty) is not freeing memory of backticked output

2007-01-29 Thread Scott Severance
I can confirm this on Edgy. If you increase the number of iterations,
the result is more dramatic. In Edgy, it occurs for both syntaxes.

I noticed, however, that memory usage seems to peak. If you repeatedly
run the loop, bashs memory footprint will eventually stop growing.

[Bug 52830] Installer doesn't comfirm resizing partitions

2006-07-12 Thread Scott Severance
Public bug reported:

On the Dapper install Live CD, when you come to the partitioning
section, if you choose the default resizing option and click forward,
the installer doesn't ask before resizing the partition. Instead, it
immediately does so. This is a bug because every other partitioner that
I'm aware of makes sure that the user is very well aware that it's about
to alter the partition table. And since no documentation that I was able
to find mentioned that it was able to safely resize NTFS partitions with
data that would have to be moved, and since past partitioners haven't
been able to do this safely, then there needs to be some sort of
confirmation. I think that no disk operations of any kind should be done
until the install actually begins.

More information on my specific issue is in this thread:
