installed pip 18.1 from source. It works fine. -- Before trying that,
trying to remove and re-install python3-pip using apt did not help.

[Bug 1615579] Re: Vagrant fails to bring up xenial64 instance on VirtualBox

2016-09-12 Thread Vernon Cole
I spent hours trying to find out what was wrong with my Vagrantfile -- but it 
was the box which is messed up.  The clues are: 
1) the username is "ubuntu" but it should be "vagrant".
2) the nameserver is not hooked up, so no DNS names are translated.

I tested this morning with the latest everything, on OS-x El Capitan and
Ubuntu Make 16.04 host machines.

The first two of these work, the last one does not:

> $ vagrant box list
> cbednarski/ubuntu-1604  (virtualbox, 0.1.0)
> ubuntu/trusty64 (virtualbox, 20160830.0.0)

  I can tell you the historical reasons. All windowing systems

  Why the top left corner? I believe that even those historical
  reasons are there for a, hehe, reason.
 
  It has nothing to do with the hand movement and in which direction
  it is easier to move the mouse. Honestly, moving mouse to the left
  or to the right feels pretty much the same to me. We're moving a
  relatively small and light mouse, we're not rowing a boat.
 
  Focus is the key here. We are more focused on the top left corner
  because (most of us) read from left to right and from top to bottom.
  That is why putting everything in that corner is completely natural
  and most ergonomic.

 The historical reasons have nothing to do with human factors and
 everything to do with the details of an electron beam scan in a
 CRT. Beams go left to right, flyback and scan lines go top to bottom
 on each frame. All the electronics (remember these kind of units
 were around when a large integrated circuit had an 8 bit shift
 register and most were TTL 7400 series... I suspect some even
 predated TTL. Characters were in hardware. There was one character
 set. The origin was upper left, the origin of the electron beam
 scan.

 Now, perhaps someone can dig back into the 1930's or earlier and
 find a reason for CRT's being left to right and top to bottom, but
 in the time frames we are talking about it is simply that technology
 builds on things that work and rarely is it worth the effort to
 go back and redo decades of engineering from scratch.

 You will always know that if you write to screen coordinate 0,0, it
 will be visible. Anything beyond that is an unknown.


Well, CRT's probably went left to right, top to bottom, because Philo T.
Farsworth
was American, and therefor was used to reading and writing in that
direction.
(My son once had a crush on Philo's granddaughter, BTW -- she was right
handed.)

None of that had anything to do with computers, though. Most early computers
did not use CRTs, which were too expensive and didn't display enough
characters
(40 wide by 12 down) to be very useful.   Real computers used teletypes.

Bell ASR33 teletypewriters printed left to right, because they were designed
to use English, and because they were basically typewriters. The had upper
case only, with the ASCII character set in hardware -- steel hardware. The
repairman's most important tool was an oil can. There was no electronics,
only gears, levers, switches, motors, and electromagnets.

The carriage return (CR) button returned the print cylinder to the left
margin.
The line feed (LF) button scrolled the paper up one row, so the print went
down.
There was no backspace, form feed, or tab. These were inexpensive
machines, and that is why they were used for console devices on most
computers, and consequently, why the console device on your *nix box
today is still called a tty.

ASR stands for Automatic Send Receive which means that these units
were equipped with a paper tape reader and punch. An operator could
pre-punch a tape offline, using the Rubout key for editing.  Rubout
(binary , or octal 377, nobody referred to 0xFF or decimal 256)
punched holes in all eight columns of the tape, which the receiving tty
would ignore by sputtering, but not advancing the carriage. (You could
manually
backspace the TAPE, just not the CARRIAGE).  The pre-punched tape was
then placed into the reader, and the tty connected to the telegraph line or
radio transmitter, and the message sent out.  This allowed the message
to be transmitted at the full 110 baud rate of the machine, preserving
valuable bandwidth, and far surpassing the fastest telegraphers.

These machines were easy to adapt for computer consoles, then.  The paper
tape
punch would happily punch binary information, and you learned to ignore the
gymnastics of the print cylinder as it rattled against the right margin
while the
binary tape was being produced.  The operator could then enter a short
bootstrap
program into the core memory using the binary switches on the console, and
the tape reader would load the working program automatically and (usually)
perfectly. It required less than 15 minutes to completely load a 4K word
BASIC
interpreter program.  [Using a PDP-8 with 12 bit words.] Once the
interpreter was
running, you could read your BASIC program in using a paper tape, and
modify it
line by line.  Then, by listing the program with the punch turned on, you
made a new
(edited) copy.

In interactive use, the Rubout key changed definitions. Rather than being
ignored,
it was used to substitute for the non-existent backspace key. The
interactive program
would echo a backslant, then one rubbed-out letter for each keypress, so
you would
have a printed record of your errors

  So there it is.  All we want is all the new stuff -- along with

 There is nothing preventing you from installing and using the classic
 gnome interface.


I tried that once, and got only old generic gnome stuff. all of the neat
Ubuntu stuff was missing.  As I said, I am greedy and want both.


 This list isn't about Unity design or implementation details discussion.
 If you want to discuss those problems, file bugs or bring it up on the
 appropriate Unity list (probably unity-design).


Dear Rodney:

Perhaps you have actually pinpointed the problem. If Unity developers don't
realize that they are also Ubuntu developers, then no wonder things don't
work quite like they ought. Maybe somebody in this group needs to make sure
that somebody from that group is assigned to follow this one.

  At your suggestion, I went looking around for some appropriate list.  I
found a blog which seems to be used by the designers to talk with each
other, but no list as such, or much of a way for an outsider to present
ideas -- especially critical ideas.Do you have a URL to refer me to, or
were you just trying to get rid of a lurker?  I am _trying_ to contribute
to my favorite distro, and I have learned over the years that a timely
question from a concerned onlooker can sometimes eliminate real problems.
When you are driving down the road and notice that people keep pointing at
your car, you probably should stop and find out what they are pointing at
-- it's probably the gas cap you forgot to replace.

A quick glance at the Unity blogs makes me fear that they are so busy
envisioning the wonderful trees they are planning to grow, that they have
forgotten to tend the forest today.  I have been guilty of the same thing
-- so busy making a new program design elegant. that I forgot that I also
had to make it _work_.

Please forward this to the appropriate persons.  I'm afraid that pointing
and shouting warnings is really the most I can contribute. Learning how to
navigate your bureaucracy and whom to lobby is a bit beyond me.

Re: How to install Precise without getting screwed?

2012-04-02 Thread Vernon Cole
Dale makes the case that I have wanted to present, but he says it better
than I.  Unity is still missing key components that some of us have really
come to depend on. Until those gaps are filled in, we cannot be fully
productive using Unity, and therefore don't think it's a good idea to
switch to it.

  I have taken the Unity challenge, and the computer on which I am typing
this -- my daily use laptop -- is running Unity.  After several months of
experience, I feel that I am qualified to give a better evaluation than my
initial response, which, indeed was: Unity sucks.  No, it doesn't. It's
actually a pretty nice desktop which has a few serious warts.  It works
really well for a user with a limited set of applications -- the number
which will fit on the pop-out bar (whatever it is being called this week)
on the left side of the screen. Your average secretary or software engineer
needs no more than that, and within those limitations, Unity is pretty,
quick, and easy to use.

  But Dale is right, we need to talk about the warts.

Wart 1 -- no menu.
   Removing the pull-down menu from the top bar did save a lot of space,
and makes the screen look cleaner. It also eliminates a neat, hierarchical
organization which lets me locate software that I use only occasionally.
For example,  I use Windows applications regularly, but rarely need to
alter my Wine environment. When I do want to make a change it's easy (on my
old boxes) -- just go down to the Wine submenu, and pick one of the four or
five items there, I don't remember what they are called. But without an
hierarchical organization, how do I find them?  Scroll through screens full
of large icons sorted in alphabetical order searching for something which
might look familiar???!!!  Insanity!   Same for office applications,
multimedia applications, infrequently used accessories...
  I also use Xubuntu 11.10 on a daily basis.  It has a nice little menu
system accessed from a little icon on the upper left edge of the screen --
even smaller then the Blue Ball which appears on the lower left corner of
my Windows 7 box -- which also calls up an hierarchical menu.
  Solution: copy the Xubuntu menu system.  It should also be called up when
I hit the Windows key on my keyboard.

Wart 2 -- no way to create a launcher.
  I think that it's really quite comical that when I click on the Bazaar
Explorer icon on my desktop that the Windows version of Bazaar Explorer
starts up.  The shortcut (i.e.: launcher) was placed there by the Wine
program loader when I installed bzr.exe.   [Yes, I did that on purpose --
the Windows version does a better job of managing bazaar branches on NTFS
volumes. On this dual-boot system, most of my storage is NTFS.]
  I am used to having about 1/4 of the space on my desktop cluttered with
launchers for things which I my not use daily, but when I want them, I want
them NOW, or want them to have root access.  For example, on my 11.04 box I
have launchers for Thunar and Wireshark under gksu -- so that I can
conveniently move or modify system files, and monitor my ethernet
interfaces. The nicest thing about using Ubuntu for a router is the ability
to use Wireshark to see what application programs on the downstream network
are doing. For that, you need a gui screen with root access.  Easy if you
have custom launchers -- very clumsy, otherwise.
  Solution A:  (as on Xubuntu) left click on an empty desktop, select
Create Launcher.
  Solution B: left click on an existing program icon, select Create
Launcher.

Wart 3 -- the active window is visually detached from its control menu.
  It took me over a month to discover that most of the things I was
_really_ frustrated that Unity would not let me do, were actually easy.
The control pull-down menu items that I needed were right there all along
-- except that they had moved to the area formerly used for the system
control menu at the upper left corner of the screen. Even after these many
months I still have to remind myself to look 'way up there to find them.
Also, it is hard to tell where the active window's controls end and the
system's controls begin.
  Solution A:  (perhaps) make the application's control menu's portion of
the top bar the same colour as the frame on the active application window.
The simultaneous colour change would create a visual and mental connection
between the two screen areas.
  Solution B: Activate the pull-down menu when I hit the menu key on my
keyboard.

Wart 4 -- No one-click desktop switching.
  The present method: 1) Move the cursor to the left edge of the screen 2)
wait a couple of seconds 3) move the cursor to the desktop switcher 4)
click on it 5) move the cursor to the desired desktop 6) click twice -- is
NOT one click.  Imagine that I have my bank statement on a web browser on
one desktop, and my financial application on the other.  To do a
reconciliation I must bounce back-and-forth between the two many times.
Will the six-step process work for me?
  Solution A: have a

A lot of people want to have a log of the outgoing internet connections of
 applications (or at least a log of what applications are blocked by a
 firewall). Unless users are willing to sit and stare at the monitor while
 connections occur every second they are on their computer, users have no
 way of learning what apps are making outgoing connections on their
 computers (or being blocked from making connections). If the capability
 doesn't exist in the current software, can't it be created or added to it?

I use wireshark to track my Internet activity. You can either run it on the

2011-12-14 Thread Vernon Cole
Yes, I ended up using lp to obtain a printout.  I don't want to have
to teach people how to do that.  The point of having a GUI system is not
having to use the command line.  Gedit is the tool that opens when I
click on a .txt file.  Printing should be a one step operation after
that.  We're supposed to be making it easy for them (the command line
challenged).

The report has been forwarded to Gnome, and a link established.  Thanks
for your help!  The link and how-to were perfect.

[Bug 904032] [NEW] gedit fails to obey page breaks when printing

2011-12-13 Thread Vernon Cole
Public bug reported:

I am attempting to use gedit to spool the printout from a legacy program to an 
ink jet printer.
The file is in ASCII, with a form feed character defining each page.
Gedit displays the form feed as a box with the hexadecimal value 000C in it.
This is all good.

When I select print from the gedit menu, it sends the text to the printer 
neatly formatted with
a header and page numbering of its own.  
This is also acceptable.

When the legacy program created the text, it determined that additional 
information should appear
an a new form, so it wanted to eject the nearly full form, and begin the next 
block of information
beneath a new header.  It emitted a form feed to produce that effect.

Gedit happily creates a graphic box with 000C in it, prints the box, and 
proceeds to print the legacy
header (which says page 2 on it) on the bottom of page One.  When it runs out 
of paper, it
prints its Page 2 header, continues to print the legacy second page, a 000C 
box, and the header for
the legacy page 3 and part of page three until it runs out of paper again, 
and so forth.

Unicode 000C is defined as a white space control character, as are carriage 
return and line feed.
You don't print them, you obey them.  Do the same for form feed.  Be kind to 
old programs and old 
programmers.  If my C program contains a printf statement with a \f in it,  
give me a new sheet
of paper on the printout.  That way your page 2 will also be my page 2 and the 
printout will appear
pretty much like the programmer (myself in a previous millennium) intended.

[Bug 873439] [NEW] software install attempt stalls with 100 percent CPU

2011-10-13 Thread Vernon Cole
Public bug reported:

Using Ubuntu 11.10 Beta 2 64 bit -- clean installed on a brand new laptop (dual 
boot with Windows 7).
When I tried to load ATI/AMD proprietary drivers, the install process stalled 
at about 2/3 done in the downloading and installing drive dialogue window.  
System monitor shows one CPU at 100%, and the other at about 30%. All systems 
functions are very slow, especially network I/O.  (am using wifi)  I cannot 
tell accurately what process is using the CPU due to lack of an all process 
selection in System Monitor under Unity.  Earlier today I experienced a similar 
problem when running Ubuntu Software Center, so I suspect a common cause.
[Note -- this system had the installation crash with the just-fixed installer 
bug.  It booted anyway, so I kept using it, assuming that software update would 
catch any serious problems.  Perhaps a mistake, but installs worked okay until 
this morning.]

[Bug 873439] Re: software install attempt stalls with 100 percent CPU

2011-10-13 Thread Vernon Cole
More information:
  I finally located the controls I needed in System Monitor.  Of course, under 
Unity the menus had migrated from the actual application window up to the 
system's top bar.  What a confusing mess! Whoever came up with that grand idea 
should be flayed with thousands of wet noodles.  But I digress...

  The actual program which was using 100%  CPU was Dropbox, running as
root, attempting an update.  I have reported that bug to Dropbox.

So this bug report becomes:  When some other process is running at 100% root 
CPU on one processor, software install attempts stall forever even if other 
processors are available.

Fwd: [Ironpython-users] IronPython Ubuntu 11.10 Beta 2

2011-10-04 Thread Vernon Cole
This was asked on the IronPython list. Now that Ubuntu has a version of mono
which runs the current IronPython, it should be updated, not dropped.

[Bug 849086] [NEW] Uinty applet does not change volume of USB audio device

2011-09-13 Thread Vernon Cole
Public bug reported:

The headphone jack on my laptop is broken, so I leave my USB headphones plugged 
in most of the time.
  When Banshee starts playing, the headphones are at 100% volume.  (This is too 
loud even for me, and I LIKE loud.) When I reach for the volume control on the 
little speaker applet, it does no good.  It seems to be controlling the volume 
of the built in speakers, rather than the default device which is on my ears.  
I must select Sound Settings... then wait for the dialog to open, the select 
the OUTPUT tab, then switch to the headphones, THEN I can relieve my ringing 
ears.
  After performing that ritual, the volume control works as expected.

[Bug 849103] [NEW] Banshee fails to respond to media shortcut keys.

2011-09-13 Thread Vernon Cole
Public bug reported:

On my laptop, as on most new computers, there are keyboard keys for volume up 
volume down and mute.   (Some even have play, pause, etc.)  Those keys are 
ineffective on banshee.  What should be a simple one-button operation becomes a 
round of fiddling with the mouse.  I assume that the volume up and volume 
down buttons on my Logitech USB headphones use the same interface -- since 
they don't work either.  
  C'mon -- if Windows Media Player can do it, so can you.

[Bug 844946] [NEW] 11.10 boots slower than Windows

2011-09-08 Thread Vernon Cole
Public bug reported:

I have done a keyword search and cannot find that anyone else has mentioned 
this, so I will be the one who raises this yellow flag, in the spirit of bug 
report #1:
  One of the advocacy points I use when trying to sell people on using Ubuntu 
is the boot speed.  I can (could before this week) shut down Ubuntu, rather 
than sleep it like I do Windows, because it boots so fast -- or it used to.
  Since upgrading to 11.10 Beta 1, boot time has become very slow.  My 
stopwatch says 148.99 seconds to get a login prompt from the grub menu.  This 
compared to 36.6 seconds for the Windows Vista on the other partition. When I 
select a previous version of Linux, the boot time is still equally slow, so my 
original guess that the kernel change made the difference is probably 
incorrect.  I don't know where the problem is, but something has gone very sour 
in the boot up process for my favorite O.S.
  Perhaps this will be a goal for next release, but something should be done 
about it.

[Bug 844965] [NEW] Ubuntu Classic session selection missing from unity-greeter.

2011-09-08 Thread Vernon Cole
Public bug reported:

For those of us (and I think we are many) who do not prefer the Unity
desktop, the answer on
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/170432 was a great
relief.  Therefore, I was dismayed to find that selection not present
upon upgrade to 11.10.  The updated Unity I have been forced to use
since upgrade is pretty good, and I think that if you would allow me to
turn menus and applets back on perhaps I might grow to like it.  Until
then, please restore the ability to choose the standard Gnome desktop.

[Bug 844980] [NEW] Keyboard selection not remembered in unity-greeter

2011-09-08 Thread Vernon Cole
Public bug reported:

Prior to 11.10, the Ubuntu login screen remembered my keyboard selection -- so 
that I can type my password using my preferred (Dvorak) keyboard.  The bottom 
panel on the greeter would allow me to select another keyboard if desired, as 
well as a different session manager.  Since there is now no keyboard indicator, 
when I type my password as, for example, password1, the computer gets 
ra;;,soh1 and rejects my login.  I cannot tell why, since the dots all look 
the same.  I can only presume that if I were using a password with actual 
foreign characters, this might prevent me from being able to log in at all.  As 
it is, since all of my password characters are actually present on the 
keyboard, but in different places, I can log on slowly using the hunt-and-peck 
method of typing.  I am used to this, since MS Windows suffers from the same 
problem, but it is an unfortunate regression in Ubuntu.

Your suggestion does not work.  I tried installing gnome-session-
fallback using Synaptic, and rebooted the system.  I get the same four
choices in the greeter as before.  Did I miss something in the
installation, or is there a text file which I must edit?

apport -w failed to identify the image name for Ubuntu Software Center. It 
blamed Nautilus, which I assume is wrong. I could not determine the name using 
the instructions in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage because Unity 
contain no menu for: Launch System - Preferences - Main Menu -- which is why 
I hate Unity, but this is not about that...
  I click the Ubuntu Software Center icon from the left pop-out panel in 
Unity.  After a few seconds, the application starts, displays a rotating 
flower-like symbol for a few seconds, then exits.  (Fortunately, I can still 
use Synaptic.)

Where is the chooser chooser?

2011-09-06 Thread Vernon Cole
I tried the upgrade to 11.10 Beta 1 yesterday.  It worked quite well, once I
remembered to start update-manager -d from the command line. I was
ecstatic to see mono 2.10 installed and can hardly wait to try loading
IronPython 2.7.  It seemed like today would be my day! But...

The Beta is _very_ not ready for prime time.  In particular, the chooser (is
that the correct name for the gui login screen?) leaves a lot to be
desired.  In the past, I was allowed to choose my keyboard map and my window
manager from selections at the bottom of the screen, with defaults to the
last choice I made.  This is especially nice for me, since I usually type on
an alternate keyboard (dvorak) and my password is on different keys on a
querty keyboard.  Of course, the password is not displayed -- so I can't
tell why it is rejected.  I just have to guess that perhaps I am using the
wrong keyboard and try again.  Fortunately, MS Windows has the same problem,
so I am used to the workaround, and tried it right away.

  I have gdm installed, and was asked during the upgrade which window
manager I wanted for default, and I specified gdm.  I double-checked my
installation using synaptic (Ubuntu Software Center is broken) and gdm is
present.   But I cannot use it.  I want my Ubuntu Classic desktop back.
Unity takes too damn long to do anything in -- if it can be found at all.
(Thanks for making it possible to start a second instance of something via a
right-click -- that helps.)  But, I find it confusing having half of the top
bar belong to a program and half to the system, and mostly, I _like_ my
applets and don't want to live without them.  I use this computer to get
work done, not to admire how pretty the graphics look, and I want stuff
where I can find it quickly, without the hover pause locate click hover
pause locate click thing.

How can I regain control?  Please don't tell me I must switch to KDE!

Thanks for the mono upgrade! IronPython 2.7 works!

2011-09-06 Thread Vernon Cole
This is a quick thank you to everyone who worked on the effort to get mono
2.10 working in Ubuntu.  I downloaded the binary version of IronPython 2.7.1
Beta 2 -- and it worked on 11.10 Beta 1 without any additional fooling
around.  There are some rough edges yet -- hopefully we can get to some of
them before IPy 2.7.1 release -- but you have give us something to test with
so that we CAN fix them.  Well done!

feature request: 32 vs 64 bit info in System Monitor

2011-06-26 Thread Vernon Cole
I manage many Ubuntu systems, and I often forget which ones are running 64
bit version of Ubuntu, and which are 32 bit.
It would be really nice if there were a quick way to tell.  The System tab
on System Monitor would be an obvious place. Also, the About Ubuntu link
on the Ubuntu Classic session manager might be nice.  Solutions involving
command line commands and words like usually are not good.

Really miss my panel applets.

2011-06-03 Thread Vernon Cole
I am starting to get used to the Unity desktop. It's still hard to find some
things that were formerly easy, but I'm getting there.
At this point, the thing I miss the most are my panel applets, one for fun,
three to monitor my computer.

How can I get equivalent functionality back?

Re: IronPython and Mono are very old. How can we get an update?

[...]
 Mono's upstream 2.10 release page suggests that they're shipping both
 IronPython and IronRuby in the main mono distribution, but looking at
 the source I can't find it, so I'm not sure what's happening there.

IronPython and IronRuby are now building from the same source.
 https://github.com/IronLanguages/main

 Regardless, Mono 2.10.1 is now available in Debian experimental, and
 so will be available early on in the Oneiric (what will become Ubuntu
 11.10) development cycle.  Since we're very close to the end of the
 Natty cycle upgrading to 2.10.1 presents too big a regression risk to
 pull it in this time.

 What needs to be done is to update the dlr-languages² source package.
 This is maintained by the pkg-cli-libs team in Debian, and we sync it
 across from there.  As we're well after Natty feature freeze, updating
 in Natty would require a Feature Freeze exception¹.  As there seems to
 be only one package with a(n optional) dependency on IronPython in the
 archive it *might* be possible to get an FFe and have the new package
 in the Natty release, it would be more reasonable to aim for Oneiric.

One can RUN IronPython 2.7 on Mono 2.6.7, but not BUILD it,
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=IronPython%20on%20Mono
So I'm not sure how well an FFe would work.  I'm assuming that the
build engine runs on the same Mono version as the release?

  Perhaps we will need to maintain a .NET 2.0 compatible binary of IPy
on the IronPython site until well after Debian releases with Mono 2.10
under the hood.

 If you'd like help in the mechanical process of updating the package,
 the Ubuntu packaging guide³ has a good rundown, or feel free to ask -
 IRC #debian-cli on oftc.net is friendly and generally active.  Since
 it looks like dlr-languages is one of the more complex things to
 package, I could probably find the time to update it in the next month
 or so if you're not comfortable with the process.

¹: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess
²: http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-cli-libs/packages/dlr-languages.git;a=summary
³: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide

Okay, I just looked at the link, and would require a month or so for
me to figure out how to do it. I have been a bit hesitant about
changing things I don't understand, ever since I crashed the Internet
in several neighboring states by incorrectly updating a gateway
router. (Long story, and the Internet was much smaller then.) So, yes,
please make those changes when you can.  :-)

Make sure that the source is coming from github, not codeplex.
I'll see that the build patches get into a new tarball, They are now
in the git trunk but not backported to the 2.7 maintenance branch yet.
How often do you fetch a new tarball?

Re: IronPython and Mono are very old. How can we get an update?

2011-04-06 Thread Vernon Cole
Parts of this discussion have been fed back to the IronPython
development team, with the result that the IronPython build script has
been repaired, and we can now build IronPython 2.7 against the .NET
2.0 library. It is reported to work fine on Ubuntu with the stock
Mono.
  I also got promoted to a (gulp!) developer on the IronPython
project. That's what I get for asking too many questions.
  What is needed to get that version of IronPython into the Ubuntu
release packages?
Do you need to build from source or would a binary do? do we need to
publish the .NET 2.0 binary version also/elsewhere?  What?

Re: IronPython and Mono are very old. How can we get an update?

2011-03-20 Thread Vernon Cole
Chris:
Thanks for the detailed information. That was pretty much what I was
looking for. It makes everything make sense.

I had tried downloading the mono source and rebuilding -- what an
error!  I've spent most of my morning removing the new, broken mono
and replacing the stock version. Ugh!
   Once that was done, I went hunting for the newest version of
IronPython which ran on the dotNET 2.0 platform.  It is IronPython
2.6.2, a maintenance release with several bug fixes, especially
compared with the Beta2.  I copied the binary onto my machine and
tried it. It seems to work quite well, other than the fact that it
turns the black print on my console to grey when it starts, which is a
little weird. I will stick with that version for the time being.

  I suggest that the packaging folks consider an upgrade to it soon.
It's a good version of Python, just not good enough for testing
bleeding edge stuff.

Meanwhile, I am downloading an OpenSUSE live USB so that I can test
new IronPython modules on occasion. I will switch back to Ubuntu when
the smoke clears.

IronPython and Mono are very old. How can we get an update?

2011-03-18 Thread Vernon Cole
Hello.
  I am new to the list, please forgive and let me know if this is not
the appropriate forum.

I was very pleased when IronPython appeared on synaptic -- even though
I was a bit concerned that the version was 2.6B2 about the time that
2.6 was released.  No problem, given the regularity with which Ubuntu
updates their packages, so I waited.

A short while ago, I contributed a patch to the IronPython standard
library. I received a somewhat acid comment that my patch had not been
tested on Mono/Linux.  True, it had not.  I downloaded the current
source of IronPython from github, and discovered that I cannot build,
because my version of Mono is too old.  In order to get a current
version of Mono, my sources suggested, just switch to Redhat!!!  WTF?!
 _Redhat_ has the latest stuff and Ubuntu is dragging in ancient
history?

Something is wrong here!

IronPython 2.7 was released last week, with my patch and without the
requested test.

Other than grouching on this list, what can I do to get my favourite
distro up to speed?

Re: IronPython and Mono are very old. How can we get an update?

2011-03-18 Thread Vernon Cole
Hello, Evan,

I suppose you noticed that there is not a debian package on the mono
download list? Their cross reference links lead to exactly what we
already have.

By another strange twist of fate, there is a PPA on launchpad which
allegedly has a current version of mono, but it is only built for LTS
versions of Ubuntu, so to get the latest version of mono, I have to
unload Maverick and install an earlier version of Ubuntu. This is
starting to sound like an episode of The Twilight Zone.

I am, as we speak, installing a new workstation which will have enough
resources that I would be able to build mono from source, as soon as
the 300MB of updates finish installing.  (Doing it on my laptop, which
already has two operating systems and seven versions of Python on it
was too much.)
That would do for testing. But then I would have to distribute my own
versions of mono and IronPython as well as my actual application code,
so it's not a good final answer.

So, back to my original question: What can I do to help get the distro
release up to the latest stable version? Should I be working on
Natty?

 Hi Vernon,

 Welcome to the list. As far as I know this is the right place to raise
 this sort of question.

 Which version of mono you have probably depends on which release of
 Ubuntu you're using. Ubuntu 10.10 (the latest stable release of
 Ubuntu) has mono 2.6.7 which is the latest long-term stable release of
 mono according to http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html

 RedHat, oddly enough, has mono 2.10, which is the latest release of
 mono, but is not a long-term support release. The question is probably
 more why RedHat chose to avoid the long-term release rather than why
 Ubuntu doesn't have the absolute latest version.

 Hope this helps,
 Evan

[Bug 647373] [NEW] overwidth utf-8 characters should be given double space by default

2010-09-25 Thread Vernon Cole
Public bug reported:

Description:Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
GNOME Terminal 2.30.2
attached screen shot uses default system fixed font, but same effect also 
appears when using Monospace 12.

Unicode characters which have glyphs wider than the spacing overprint
each other, making an unreadable display.  Since a square box with a hex
point number inside it is the representation for any character which is
not defined in the font, and the box is itself a double-width glyph, you
cannot read the contents of the box to see what you did wrong.

VTE should detect this condition and automatically treat such characters
as double-width, similar to the way wide oriental characters are
displayed.

Attached will be a screen shot generated by the Python script, below .

code
for ij in range(0x2160,0x2189):
   j = unichr(ij)
   try:
 print j, unicodedate.name(j) ,unicodedata.numeric(j)
   except:
 print '%x'%ord(j)
print 'Roman 110011 is written as=%s' % u'\u2188\u2182XI'
print 'but would be better shown =%s' % u'\u2188 \u2182 XI'

[Bug 542209] [NEW] Keyboard applet is invisible with ambiance theme

2010-03-19 Thread Vernon Cole
Public bug reported:

When using the stock Ambiance (or any other dark color) desktop theme in Lucid, 
the keyboard indicator applet lacks contrast.  After adding my preferred dvorak 
keyboard, I looked in Add to panel as usual to install the keyboard 
indicator.  I was rather upset to find that it was missing.  Some time later, I 
happened to notice that there was an unused space on the panel.  Very close 
inspection revealed that my keyboard indicator was already present -- printing 
in Black letters on a Dark Brown background.
  Switching to Clearlook works around the problem, but the applet needs to 
switch to a higher contrast foreground color.

[Bug 537131] [NEW] new kernel will not boot after auto update

2010-03-10 Thread Vernon Cole
Public bug reported:

I cannot give version information -- due to the fact that Ubuntu will not boot 
at all. So this is all from memory...
I am running the current 9.10 version, and perform system updates regularly.
This evening, I ran an update which included a new Ubuntu Linux kernel. After 
the update, a dialog box appeared which called for a system restart.  After 
closing all open programs (Solitare) I clicked the 'restart' button. The OS 
shut down normally.

Now when I try to boot Ubuntu, I get only a grub prompt with no kernel
loaded.

This is a Dell laptop dual boot setup with Ubuntu loop-installed on the NTFS 
volume hosted by Windows Vista.
Grub is set so that Vista is the default.  Vista still boots normally after the 
menu wait. The Grub menu never appears when Ubuntu is selected.

How do I get Ubuntu back?

[Bug 468756] [NEW] Karmic fails on shutdown when loop installed on D:

2009-11-01 Thread Vernon Cole
Public bug reported:

I  am running a Dell vostro laptop with a factory disk setup having a large C: 
partition with Windows Vista Home Basic, and a D: partition which is a Dell 
dedicated restore system, which is practically useless from Windows.  
Installing Ubuntu on this D: partition results in a /dev/sda2 with 3.0 Gib of 
free space mounted as /host, and a /dev/loop0 with 1.5 Gib free mounted  as /. 
I therefore have a dual boot system in which Ubuntu takes effectively no disk 
space. All this was done using 9.04 and worked perfectly.
   After I upgraded to 9.10 the shutdown started failing. During the shutdown,  
a black (console) screen will appear with a display like: (I am typing this 
from a picture on my cell phone -- might be slightly wrong)
v v v v v 
* Shutting down ALSA . . .
init: network-manager main pro [(edge of photo here)
init: Disconnectied from system [
modem-manager: Caught signa[
 * Stopping virtual private net[
 * Asking all  remaining process[
 * Deconfiguring network interf [
 * Deactivating swap ... [
[ 3452.240095] Buffer I/O error on device loop0, logical block 898763
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
at which point the shutdown hangs forever.
The actual error number and block number will be different for different 
attempts. The shutdown will fail at different points.
The common thing is that there will always be one or more I/O errors on loop0, 
and the shutdown will never complete, and Deactivating swap will be near the 
failure point.

 The last failure - for which I will include the dumps - is not (unfortunately) 
the one I took the 'screenshot' of.
It failed with
[ 512.404091] Buffer I/O error on device loop0, logical block 898774

The error is in destar, not in Hardy, and the patch has been known for some
time. Destar needs to be updated for the current version of python. My
communication with the maintainers indicates that neither asterisk nor
destar is being kept up to patch level on Ubuntu. That is unfortunate. I
think that this combination is the best possibility to get plug and play
telephony on Ubuntu, so I wish we could convince them to invest some time in
it. The other asterisk front ends are too bloated for easy installation.

Is anyone working on updating destar.py to python 2.5 (or 2.6) ?
I believe that would fix this problem.
I can try it if the developers cant get to it.
