** Description changed:

  The 0.7.5-5ubuntu27.5 security update for lucid dropped the changes in
  0.7.5-5ubuntu27.3. This happened because 0.7.5-5ubuntu27.3 was accepted
  during the update preparation and was missed during the publication
- checks.
+ checks. This reintroduced bug #571093 and bug #455832.

[Bug 665531] Re: [lucid] Failed to start domain after libvirt upgrade to 0.7.5-5ubuntu27.5

Thank you for using Ubuntu and reporting a bug. libvirt sometimes
doesn't give very helpful error messages, so I am going to ask you to
run a series of commands to help locate the problem.

Can you give the output of the following:
$ cat tserver.xml | /usr/lib/libvirt/virt-aa-helper -r --uuid 
libvirt-c04cd76d-029b-7644-13ab-c2d144543ea2 --dryrun -p 0

and:
$ cat tserver.xml | /usr/lib/libvirt/virt-aa-helper -r --uuid 
libvirt-c04cd76d-029b-7644-13ab-c2d144543ea2 --dryrun -p 1

If the second works, as a workaround you can adjust /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf to 
have:
allow_disk_format_probing = 1

and then restart libvirt with:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/libvirt stop
$ sudo /etc/init.d/libvirt start

Actually, I see the problem:

libvirt-c04cd76d-029b-7644-13ab-c2d144543ea2 --dryrun -p 0

[Bug 540747] Re: Apache Web DAV incorrect permissions

2010-10-23 Thread Joe Kislo

Agreed.  This needs to be on lucid LTS because this basically cripples
webDAV... and webDAV is typically something you use in a server
environment which is more likely to be running the LTS.  I can tell you
we're basically SOL on an upgrade from hardy on several servers because
of this.  We tried running a cronjob every 5 minutes to fix all of the
permissions, but it doesn't work well enough to push to production.

Yes, my fault. debhelper probably adds it as a conffile automatically.

 Also, are these changes based on Lucid packages? The Lucid machine I'm
 using for testing has a kernel panic on shutdown with the packages from
 my PPA installed.

Yes, I'm running these changes on a number of lucid machines. Maybe the
changed behavior triggers something in the kernel that's causing a panic?
I can't really say without seeing the full panic output.

Have you installed a fresh copy of Kubuntu 10.10?

This problem happens on am3-machine (Radeon 4670) - and laptop x100e (Radeon

There is nothing indicating anything hardware related. (X simply does not

Starting X (it is not running - I have also verified this with ps -A |

2010-10-23 Thread Tanker Bob

OK, your question told me what I needed to know. I was using the
webupd8team ppa for lucid, which apparently outran the support libraries
with the latest ubuntu one plugin. I disabled the ppa, uninstalled
rhythmbox and all its plugins, then reinstalled from the basic lucid
repositories. Everything works now, but I'm sure that I lost some
functionality, especially with the plugins, but I do have the ubuntu one
music store back.

I'm better now. Thank you for your help tonight.

 This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix.

 Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry,
 restricting access to IT to a small part of the world's population and
 limiting the ability of software developers to reach their full potential,
 globally. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry.

 Steps to repeat:

 1. Visit a local PC store.

 What happens:
 2. Observe that a majority of PCs for sale have non-free software
 pre-installed.
 3. Observe very few PCs with Ubuntu and free software pre-installed.

 What should happen:
 1. A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software like
 Ubuntu.
 2. Ubuntu should be marketed in a way such that its amazing features and
 benefits would be apparent and known by all.
 3. The system shall become more and more user friendly as time passes.

 I don't believe you.  I have high end machines too...  They all work.

 the box with Lucid.  I believe there is a lot more to your story.  Like
 perhaps your high end stuff is the cheapest Chinese components you can
 source...  And they don't have drivers?  shock  Those can take a bit
 more effort.  Or perhaps the well known Intel i855 graphics chipset bug?
  (Fixed in Maverik, by the way)

 Only being willing to put an hour into learning a new system is not a
 bug we can easily patch.

 But if you want help, go ahead and e-mail me.  I bet I can find drivers
 for much of your stuff.

 Hi :)

 There is not really any must do in linux.  Linux seems to be about
 offering
 choices, about offering freedom OF choice.  As we know Windows provides
 freedom
 FROM choice and so it is the preference for most people.

 I found the best way to learn how to install and use linux was to learn how
 to
 install it as a dual-boot and switch the default so that it boots into
 Windows
 automatically unless i was fast enough to choose linux at boot-up.

 This meant i could deal with problems at my own pace without being unable
 to use
 the machine in the normal ways i was used to.

 Now when i help people with ther machine's i put a dual-boot of a linux,
 usually
 Ubuntu but not always (there are smaller and lighter distros for Win98
 machines)
 and then sort the usual stuff such as Medibuntu and install Gimp fo
 photo
 editing.  I find medibuntu tends to sort all multimedia issues without me
 having to find drivers for things
 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu

 Finally i set-up firefox with bookmarks into Community and official
 documentation, the 2 main Answers Forums (launchpad (that is this one) and
 ubuntuforums.com) and also to the general linux answers forum at
 http://www.linuxquestions.org
 and usually to the rather excellent distrowatch because i know that soem
 discussion about other distros will crop up in conversations later
 http://distrowatch.com

 Then after i hand the machine back they hardly ever notice that linux is on
 their machine until we have a few chats over the next few weeks.

 When people have found that Windows still works normally and better/faster
 for
 the fixes i have done then it is a bit late for them to freak out about the
 FUD
 they have probably heard about it.

 Regards from
 Tom :)

  Think of your experiences in the Windows world. You likely have used
  hardware that is stickered Windows Ready, Works with Windows etc.
 
  The Ubuntu world is no different, and Ubuntu does NOT work on
  everything. Please reset expectations accordingly.

 Although Ubuntu runs on a lot of hardware that is not listed there and
 no certification has been done, people should simply prefer the
 hardware that is certified or at least known to work.

 Simply becauce: Manufacturer's first aim is to work with Windows
 because that is the majority of people and this simply is what gets
 preinstalled in the vast majority of cases when shipping the thingy.

 Some manufacturers have looked beond the the rim of the plate and see
 that the world around M$ is wide and large and take this into
 consideration, like Dell or Lenovo for example.

 If people buying stuff do not explicitely prefer the more compatible
 hardware manufacturers also will not change their habits.

  Installing a system you know well (Windows), with the standard
 preparation you
  do before an install to that particular set of hardware does not really
 compare
  against installing a system you have no experience with and have not
 prepared
  for in advance.

 Yeah, people used Windows many, many years and then they expect to do
 the transition in a day. Although I think that Ubuntu can be learned
 quite quickly (just to think of the plenty of forums and documentation
 available - or the very helpful community), my experience is that a
 standard low experienced home user needs approx 2 weeks to get
 familiar enough to be productive - but this is an awesome short time!

  Mainly it is the massive amount of reboots between updates and drivers.
   Also, the install is far to interactive, not set it and forget it.

 If you look at the installation of Windows 2008 R2 Server for example,
 installation of Windows is really not very interactive - it neither
 asks for a host name! - It generates an automatic one that you can
 change later. So even less interaction than for an Ubuntu
 installation.

 That said, afterwards plenty of clicks needed to get only in the near
 of being productive - not to tell that Windows OS after installation
 is naked as a jaybird! Even the text editor that comes with it is ...
 - well the only word I have for it is impertinence.


  As
  an aside, the only programming language I know is Perl, and I haven't
  really used in in years.

 When I started with Linux all programming languages I knew were
 Windows-only. So really, there is no need to know a programming
 language for using Linux. That I felt strange using an OS I can't
 program is natural after having always been capable of programming the
 PCs I was working on before. - Well, I have fixed that bug in the

 I don't fully agree - e.g. Movie player is not playing a lot of
 videos. Need to use VLC for those - so VLC must be installed and for
 different files open with must be changed to use VLC instead of movie
 player by default. I tend to instruct people to first double-click and
 when it does not work use right mouse button and open with VLC. This
 is easier than trying to find a sample for each possible format and
 change default open. Similar applies for sound formats.

 And there are IMHO some other first-to-dos, be it tools to install
 (like gsmartcontrol, Thunderbird, ...) and some options to change. -
 But I don't want to complain about this because I have plenty more
 first-to-dos under Win* and on Ubuntu I start the Synaptic, go once
 through the list, ticking everything I want and then save the list to
 an external file and never need to do it again manually.


  As G stated it is the install process that is the most difficult part.

 No, really, the installation is straight-forward. As with 10.10 it
 either already starts preparing the harddrive while I do the last
 inputs, is awesome - as well as WLAN already available and downloading
 the updates already on the go. And with net access it already knows
 the country I am in (regarding time settings). So there is nothing
 more I wish to have.


  We try to make that easy and many people have lists of what to do after a

 One idea: You could grab the most used sets of pre-installations and
 pre-sets and offer that as additional option at installation, e.g.
 similar as Fedora does, asking the user for typical use Home user,
 Developer, Designer/Photographer, ... - that probably would make it
 easier for a lot of people and for Canonical it would be just running
 a few additional apt-get install lines and maybe some default
 configuration files. I personally already have some files containing
 those, so for me no problem as it.

 Bug description:
 Microsoft has a majority market share in the new desktop PC marketplace.
 This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix.

 Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry,
 restricting access to IT to a small part of the world's population and
 limiting the ability of software developers to reach their full potential,
 globally. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry.

 Steps to repeat:

 1. Visit a local PC store.

 What happens:
 2. Observe that a majority of PCs for sale have non-free software
 pre-installed.
 3. Observe very few PCs with Ubuntu and free software pre-installed.

 What should happen:
 1. A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software like
 Ubuntu.
 2. Ubuntu should be marketed in a way such that its amazing features and
 benefits would be apparent and known by all.
 3. The system shall become more and more user friendly as time passes.

 This bug report is not about how difficult or easy OSes are to install.  It
 is
 about how difficult it is to buy a machine with a decent OS pre-installed.

 @ Martin

 I think we are agreeing but have semantic differences.  Imo an install is
 not
 complete until the system is tweaked and made usable for the use the user
 requires.  A basic install of Windows is not ready to use imo.  A basic
 install
 of Ubuntu is also not fully ready (imo) but has stuff ready to use that
 Windows
 doesn't and usually takes less to get it ready.

 To get Windows to the same level as Ubuntu you have to install many
 programs
 such as Office (i would use OpenOffice in Windows, not MicroSquish Office,
 and
 Firefox not IE for safety and security).  'Obviously' for
 OpenOffice/LibreOffice
 i would do

 Tools - Options - Load/Save
 to set all the defaults to the unsafe .doc and .xls ones that people
 prefer
 in the Windows-world.

 Then both Windows  Ubuntu need multimedia players (Vlc for both, also
 MPlayer
 for Ubuntu and hopefully Zoom Player for Windows), Gimp (for both) and
 whichever
 other packages the user would appear to need from whatever they have been
 talking about, mostly Ubuntu already covers those but Windows doesn't.
  Ubuntu
 makes a lot of that easy by following the Community Documentation Medibuntu
 page
 but there are countless blogs, magazines and stuff either in the fake-world
 or
 online that cover the multimedia issues.

 Both Windows and Ubuntu need drivers for any oddly awkward hardware.  For
 Ubuntu
 these are mostly online but it may take some hunting to find them.  For
 Windows
 you might need to find that crusty old Cd that came with the device.
  Inevitably
 some stuff wont work with Windows because it is too old and you should buy
 a
 new device and stop being such a cheapskate.  With Ubuntu some newer stuff
 wont
 work but might do fairly soon especially if you post a bug-report about it.
  Ati
  NVidia have communities doing a lot of work right now and updates happen
 quite
 frequently.  Even the companies themselves are making efforts to provide
 more
 support (for fear of losing customers now linux usage is reaching above
 4%).
 Other companies will follow their lead.

 Both Windows and Ubuntu will need to be updated and this is one area that
 Ubuntu
 really scores highly because it does everything, all the codecs, libraries,
 drivers, programs, packages, everything all in one go  you can walk away
 and
 leave it to get on with it with no further interaction.  Windows will
 usually
 require several reboots and requires the update process to be repeated many
 times before it is 'completely' updated.  Also Windows tends to  make a
 fuss
 about stuff requiring user-input.  Also Windows doesn't update any of the
 drivers or programs, not even free ones such as Adobe flash-player or pdf
 reader.  So an ubuntu system is fully patched and ready whereas a Windows
 one
 seldom reaches that stage.

 Both systems often need tweaking to set which applications are preferred
 for
 certain tasks (right-click on a file-type and set what it opens with)
 although
 with Windows you seldom get a choice and just have to be careful about
 which
 programs you install last as each one grabs control.  With Ubuntu you can
 finesse it at almost any point.

 However, none of this is what this bug-report is about.  All of this
 depends on
 the skill (in the particular OS they are attempting to install) of the
 person
 doing the install and how easy they find it to access useful help if they
 run
 into problems.  Again, that is not what this bug-report is about.
 Regards from
 Tom :)

[Bug 633008] Re: [Maverick] kpackagekit won't honor apt proxy setings

2010-10-23 Thread bigbrovar

@Daniel the issue here is not about generic http proxy. it concern
specific apt proxy called apt-cacher. which is a server that intercepts
apt requests and downloads them to a cache so that anyone within the lan
who needs such packages would not need to download it from the internet.
All I have to do is add the proxy detail to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01proxy
synaptic package manager also supports it under
settings/preference/networking kpackagekit does not have support for it
at all and its a very big deal breaker for many within large
organisations who use Kubuntu.

 I don't believe you.  I have high end machines too...  They all work.

 more effort.  Or perhaps the well known Intel i855 graphics chipset bug?

 Only being willing to put an hour into learning a new system is not a

  Hi Kip,
 
  I would like you to understand the following,
 
  I hate Microsoft, I hate what they are doing, I hate what they stand for

  what I hate the most is having to pay hard earned money for 0's and 1's.
  I love the Open Source concept and it should be the *ONLY* way to go.
  There is NOTHING MORE I would like than to be able to use Ubuntu on all

  I am now retired and for some weird reason I am busier now than I was in

 computers

   Unfortunately 99% of the people have Windows installed on their PC's.

  that I can fix. I would love nothing better than to replace some of these
  people's unlicensed OS with Ubuntu.
  But unfortunately I don't have the know how or experience to do that
 because
  I don't find Ubuntu user friendly (from a Windows perspective).
 
  So if one of you SMUCKS (wink, lol) is willing to put the effort in my
  proposed project, then I am willing to put in 150% effort to do this.
  And yes I will become responsible for spreading Ubuntu on (at least) a
 small
  to medium scale.
 
  What do you think,  can we do this???

  Hi again,
 
  Let me explain it another way so that you may have a better idea of what
 I

  I only buy products from some of the following manufactures; XFX, EVGA,
  Asus, Cooler Master, OCZ, Westen Digital, Silverstone, Corsair, Samsung,
  etc., etc., etc.
  When I get a new system (which I get regularly) after it is assembled it
  take me 1 to 1.5 hours to install Windows, the drivers and the necessary
  software to get it to function at 100% efficiency.  I don't have the time
 to
  fart around and mess with Operating systems and drivers that don't even
 run
  on a double click from the mouse, nor do I have the time to learn a new
  programing language (although I do know a few), no thank you.
  Let me give you an example, I installed Ubuntu 10.10RC on an AMD machine
  with an Asus board and an XFX HD 5770.  When it came time to install the
 ATI
  drivers from ATI, I ran the package and it said nothing to me so I
 rebooted
  and guess what, it was not installed. So I then proceeded to install the
  third party drivers that Ubuntu suggested.  Well, what a great performing
  card It gave 50GFLOPS instead of the 1400GFLOPS Windows gives me.
  I don't have time to fart around for days or weeks to get the machine
  working 100%.
 
  When Ubuntu is as easy to install as Windows, then I will have another
 look
  at it.
  Not till then...

Re: [Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share

2010-10-23 Thread mzc

This is exactly what happens when we're enslaved under a monopoly...put
yourself back in the early 90's -mid 90's and you bought a mac...you'll say
the same thing: WTF I cant install MS Office to my mac...my mac diskettes
does not work on a pc... sigh...

GNU/Linux specifically Ubuntu OS has grown and continually growing in a
rapid phase...We live a real world were there are optimists and
pessimiststhere will be people who want proof to believe and be
spoonfed... there will also be people like those who bother to follow this
thread, support each other and build local ubuntu communities worldwide, and
will stick together and wait until the OS monopoly ends.

 Bug description:
 Microsoft has a majority market share in the new desktop PC marketplace.
 This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix.

 Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry,
 restricting access to IT to a small part of the world's population and
 limiting the ability of software developers to reach their full potential,
 globally. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry.

 Steps to repeat:

 1. Visit a local PC store.

 What happens:
 2. Observe that a majority of PCs for sale have non-free software
 pre-installed.
 3. Observe very few PCs with Ubuntu and free software pre-installed.

 What should happen:
 1. A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software like
 Ubuntu.
 2. Ubuntu should be marketed in a way such that its amazing features and
 benefits would be apparent and known by all.
 3. The system shall become more and more user friendly as time passes.

[Bug 664062] Re: [VIA VT1708S] ALSA test tone not correctly played back

2010-10-23 Thread Hannu Teulahti

Ok, after some studying found out that the front and rear outputs work
independently and the front has 2 different ways of usage hda and ac97.
My case is a bit older than the motherboard and doesn't support hda on
the front panel. There is a bios setting for the type of front panel
(hda/ac97). when I changed the setting to ac97 sound started working.
Maybe the old drivers used the ac97 setting even if the bios setting had
been wrong since when I built this system.

This bug's summary should be rewritten to: no sound from front output
when upgrading from lucid to maverick and status to invalid.

 Did the Windows system then need upgrades or additional software?  After

 Installing a system you know well (Windows), with the standard preparation

 do before an install to that particular set of hardware does not really
 compare
 against installing a system you have no experience with and have not
 prepared
 for in advance.

 Comparing is difficult when you are not comparing like with like.

  When I get a new system (which I get regularly) after it is assembled it

 to
  fart around and mess with Operating systems and drivers that don't even
 run
  on a double click from the mouse, nor do I have the time to learn a new
  programing language (although I do know a few), no thank you.

 I have expertise in both Windows and Linux.  Windows takes longer.
 Mainly it is the massive amount of reboots between updates and drivers.
  Also, the install is far to interactive, not set it and forget it.  As
 an aside, the only programming language I know is Perl, and I haven't
 really used in in years.

  Let me give you an example, I installed Ubuntu 10.10RC on an AMD machine
  with an Asus board and an XFX HD 5770.  When it came time to install the
 ATI
  drivers from ATI, I ran the package and it said nothing to me so I
 rebooted
  and guess what, it was not installed. So I then proceeded to install the
  third party drivers that Ubuntu suggested.  Well, what a great performing
  card It gave 50GFLOPS instead of the 1400GFLOPS Windows gives me.
  I don't have time to fart around for days or weeks to get the machine
  working 100%.

 You installed a beta, and it was not perfect?  Really?  And those Vista
 betas were so smooth...  And you had ATI driver problems?  That is
 surely an Ubuntu issue.
 http://www.google.com/search?q=ati+driver+problems  Or maybe not.  And
 why did you go the the ATI website first?  Oh, yes...  You picked up
 that habit from Windows.  In Ubuntu, you go to the repos first.  And
 yes, the ATI Linux drivers are worse than the Windows drivers for many
 ATI cards.  One reason I like nVidia. (On both platforms)

  When Ubuntu is as easy to install as Windows, then I will have another
 look
  at it.

 You want Ubuntu to be as easy for a beginner to install with no
 experience as Windows is for an expert with years of experience.  That
 is the bug...  Unreasonable expectations.  And the thought that
 Windows is Computer and if you know Windows you know computers.
  Not so helpfull with Mac, Linux, HP-UX, Aix, Solaris, AS400, VMS, or a
 number of accounting specific systems.  Now if you give the same test to
 your grandmother, I bet Linux is easier.

 And this is the reason I responded.  People keep looking at the wrong
 bug.  The bug is that we did not tell you this BEFORE you started.  Now
 it is too late...

 Yes, thanks for reminding. But wouldn't it be more likely that more
 systems come with Ubuntu preinstalled, if it is more easy to install
 it? At least for the small PC shop around the corner it should be.

 Bigger shops for sure have everything automated. But how do they do
 when a new model appears? At least for the first of a new product line
 they must do it manually, isn't it?

 Bug description:
 Microsoft has a majority market share in the new desktop PC marketplace.
 This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix.

 Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry,
 restricting access to IT to a small part of the world's population and
 limiting the ability of software developers to reach their full potential,
 globally. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry.

 Steps to repeat:

 1. Visit a local PC store.

 What happens:
 2. Observe that a majority of PCs for sale have non-free software
 pre-installed.
 3. Observe very few PCs with Ubuntu and free software pre-installed.

 What should happen:
 1. A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software like
 Ubuntu.
 2. Ubuntu should be marketed in a way such that its amazing features and
 benefits would be apparent and known by all.
 3. The system shall become more and more user friendly as time passes.

Re: [Bug 1] Microsoft has a majority market share

You know Windows works on more systems than Ubuntu, did you know
that..

I am a senior technician for windows systems with many certifications, and
they warned me about your type

Maybe Windows is the best system...

I will wait another 2 or 3 years to see if Ubuntu is worthy of my
attention.

 What i suggest for Ubuntu is the following:

 1. A Ubuntu/Linux/Elf software store. It should be designed so that it
 can ship applications for many OS:es, not just Ubuntu.

 2. A Ubuntu Pro commercial offering. Including boxed Ubuntu, a manual,
 and support. Also some commercial stuff like DVD player.

 Ubuntu currently has Fluendo Windows Media and MP3 Playback Pack, Fluendo
 Complete Playback Pack and PowerDVD Linux in its online shop. These should
 either be provided trough a software store, or included in Ubuntu Pro.
 I would also see more commercial Linux applications there. For example i
 know there is a Ubuntu version of Majesty. I know for sure that i would buy
 that.

 3. Both of above need a reseller plan. OEMs that preinstall a software
 store or Ubuntu Pro have to make money out of it. And Ubuntu pro should
 not be cheap.

 A software store and a commercial Linux with a distribution network is
 what we need. I am certain that this is exactly what we need. For
 servers we have RHEL but for clients the only thing available is
 Mandriva, but they effort to build a distribution network is to weak.
 They focus on an online store, and I believe thats their weakness.
 Operating Systems is OEM products and they are usually sold with
 computers, so we must target the OEM builders.

 While i have talked a lot about technology on this issue, technology is
 not a #1 bug issue. We have technology, what we need to fix bug #1 is
 marketing.

 There is no reason why Linux should have less usage share then OS X.
 Linux can run on much more hardware that OS X supports, and it have a
 great community.

 On another front, i think the idea of recycling old computers with
 Ubuntu and give them to those that cannot afford a brand new PC is
 excellent. I have done this a lot with lubuntu on really old computers.
 I also have a ThinLinc server that can be used to run applications that
 old computers are to weak to run. Its not fast enough for youtube,
 however they can play mpeg2. Perhaps an application like minitube can
 use a proxy server for transcoding to mpeg2 before a clip reach the old
 box?


  Martin,
 
  True.  Again i agree with that and i think we are in agreement again.  So
 the

  installing.
 
 
  Surely a shop that installs to  perhaps tens of machines has time to play
 around
  with even just 1 and has probably noticed all the quirkiness of
 installing
  Windows  onto a wide range of very different machines and might realise
 that
  lack of knowledge might be the main barrier to a smoother install of
 Ubuntu (or
  other distro).  Perhaps it is those people that we should target rather

 I agree.

 @faldegast:
 1) Why would we market a kernel?
 2) Running Ubuntu on scrap/old is not putting our best foot forward, and
 creates support issues.
 3) For the server side, we have Ubuntu Server.
 4) Ubuntu Software Centre is just that: a store for Ubuntu-compatible
 software. The extension of USC to non-Ubuntu platforms would be
 nightmarish in complexity.

[Bug 665459] [NEW] There are some layout problems with long lines

2010-10-23 Thread xorho

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: hunspell

As also confirmed in the manpage: There are some layout problems with
long lines.

I have created a patch to elinimate this problem (found in
hunspell_1.2.8-6ubuntu1_i386.deb)

According to my tests after applying this patch both long lines (longer
than the terminal's current width) and shorter lines are displayed
correctly when using the interactive mode of hunspell.

[Bug 653021] Re: Mouse's left button stops working.

2010-10-23 Thread Unmensch

Ditto on Maverick. Left mouse button fails after a few seconds of
playing music or video on either totem or rhythmbox (Intel Corporation
N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01) sound, in
case that helps). Using keyboard with integrated touch pad, neither the
left-hand mouse button nor tapping the touch pad itself work. Going to
try it again with a USB mouse.

[Bug 627608] Re: Got a 401 on a fresh purchase

2010-10-23 Thread Michael Nelson

@Jane - yours is a slightly different issue. (This bug is for when the
purchase - including the creation of the LP subscription succeeds, but
then the software center client reports a 401 when it tries to access
the repository). Achuni - if you get a chance before me, Jane's issue is
the same one about which  we chatted on Monday (SCA user gets 401 from
LP for some reason - I'll search for it once I arrive).

@Rick - can you give exact details of when and what you purchase so I
can check the launchpad logs and find out why it took so long to create
the repository authentication details - as per my comment above, the
script is now running every minute. I'd like to be certain of exactly
what happened.

2010-10-23 Thread Rémi Denis-Courmont

is mostly a problem of the past these days. To fix it, you can try to
use another XVideo adapter, change GPU, or maybe fix the XVideo driver.

In any case, this is not a VLC problem.

Jim,

If I remember correctly, the first export of these files was with size
limited to 1200 and quality of 100%.

I've tried these parameters again, without reproducing the problem, so I
tried 90%, again with negative results.

I'm sure I didn't use 75% first time round, but this time the export of
all 46 files yielded one corrupt file - this time from a different
original.

I deleted all the exported files and tried again with settings of 1200
and 75%, and got this error message:

Unable to export the following photo due to a file error.

/home/michael/DebugShotwell/IMG005 rescanned.jpg

Would you like to continue exporting?

I said yes, and this time the previous file was exported correctly, and
although a file was apparently exported for IMG005 rescanned.jpg, it
wasn't readable as a jpg.

Here are links to the set of files...

http://www.rotarycupar.org/download/IMG012%20rescanned%20BAD.jpg
http://www.rotarycupar.org/download/IMG012%20rescanned%20GOOD.jpg
http://www.rotarycupar.org/download/IMG012%20rescanned%20ORIGINAL.jpg

...this time with proper URLs!

Having cleared the export directory I tried again, and this time I got
warnings of file errors (as in the error message above) about two
completely different files, both of which had previously been
successfully exported.

At the next attempt, all files were successfully exported.

So the problem occurs frequently, but (so far) not reliably
reproducible.

Regards,

Michael
