I have OOo 3.0.1, apparently the "PPA" version, installed on Ubuntu
8.10.  I have a 69 page document. When I do Page Preview, the data looks
ok. When I print from that, the output also looks ok, but when I looked
closer, I realized that every few pages the output got out of sync with
the Page Preview data, such that at the end of the printout, the last
page had 14 lines of text, whereas the Page Preview display only showed
the last 8 lines on the last page.

I can attach three artifacts for this issue:

  * My 69-page document
  * A screenshot of Page Preview of the first two pages
  * Scanner images of the first two printout pages

If you examine the Page Preview image, you'll see that the heading
"Dynamic Properties" starts the second page. In the scanner images,
you'll see that the second page begins with a line of text, and then the
heading.

This is just the first example, as the document goes on, this happens in
several places, although not on every page. By the end of the 69 pages,
it's about 6 lines off.

[Bug 367055] [NEW] "Sticky" field in Window Rules in Compiz Settings Manager doesn't check "Always on Visible Workspace"

[David M. Karr]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

Ubuntu 8.10. Compiz 1:0.7.8-0ubuntu4.1.

(I first asked about this in the Compiz Support forum, and in user-
ubuntu, to no avail.)

I installed the "fusion-icon" package so I could access the Compiz
Settings Manager.  I brought it up and went to the "Window Rules"
section.  I edited the "Sticky" field and set it to the following value:

class=Emacs | class=Gnome-system-monitor

I determined these values by running "xprop WM_CLASS | cut -d\" -f4" and
clicking on both the Emacs window and the System Monitor window.

I then tabbed out of the field and then clicked the "Back" button (Note
that the process for "saving" values you set in these dialogs is
ambiguous, as there is no "Save" operation.).  I then closed the
settings manager.

I then killed all existing instances of the System Monitor and Emacs.  I
brought up both applications.  I checked the right-click menu on the
icon and title bar, and neither window had the "Always in Visible
Workspace" checkbox checked.

I then restarted the box, logged back in, started Emacs and System
Monitor again, and they still did not have the AiVW checkbox checked.  I
went back into Compiz Settings Manager and verified the value I entered
for the "Sticky" field was still there.

[Bug 339950] [NEW] clamav message about message not in uuencoded format does not print file name

[David M. Karr]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: clamav

Ubuntu 8.10.

The nightly scan on my system reports exactly one line of output:

LibClamAV Error: Message is not in uuencoded format

The issue I have is not whether the file is in uuencoded format or not,
but that the report doesn't give me any indication of WHICH file is not
in uuencoded format. My only hope of figuring out what file this refers
to is running with "--verbose", which I hope will list all the files
it's scanning (which will be many, on a full system scan), then I can
narrow it down to the two files on each side of this message.

This message should print the name of the file in question.

I hope the fix didn't just fix that particular error message.  There
were others that lack the file name.  For instance, in last night's
scan, I got "LibClamAV Warning: RAR code not compiled-in".

[Bug 345630] [NEW] When trueprint italicizes text at the end of the page, next page is italicized

[David M. Karr]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: trueprint

Trueprint looks for patterns in code to determine whether the modify the
font of the displayed text.  For instance, if it finds something like
"NOTE:" in a comment block, it puts that paragraph in the comment block
in italics.  I saw a test case where the "NOTE:" was on the last line of
the trueprint-ed page, but instead of just the NOTE paragraph being
italicized, the entire next page in the listing was italicized, which
was well past the end of the paragraph and comment block.

The best thing I could do to provide a test case is attach the file that
was rendered in the listing, which contains the "NOTE:" comment.  If a
Trueprint listing is generated including this file, the symptom should
be repeatable.

[Bug 333933] Re: [ppa] actual print from page preview doesn't exactly correspond

[David M. Karr]

Ok, good question.  Exporting to PDF isn't quite the same thing, as
there doesn't appear to be a way to export the page preview directly to
PDF (seems like an omission).  I can export the document itself to PDF,
but not the page preview.

In any case, I was able to do two things. First, instead of printing to
the printer, I printed to a (postscript) file, and then I viewed the
postscript file. The resulting view matched what I saw in page preview,
and did NOT match what came out on the printer.

Second, I exported the document to PDF and viewed that, and that was
also consistent with the original document, the page preview, and the
viewed postscript document.

The only thing that is off is the actual printed output.

Another thing I've realized is that this doesn't have anything to do
with page preview, either. In the normal 1 page/sheet output, I was able
to see the discrepancy, in addition to the 4 pages/sheet version.

[Bug 270303] Re: firefox (intrepid): "your browser has been updated and needs to be restarted"

[David M. Karr]

Here we are again.  I think when I had this happen with 3.0.6 I took the
reinstall path.  It worked, but I don't remember if I lost anything from
that approach.  Should I expect to lose anything using that approach?

I looked at my localstore.rdf file, and it doesn't have the referenced
lines, so I don't think removing that file will help.

What about the "Ubuntu Firefox Modifications" plugin?  Some people have
said that removing that fixes this problem. Is that true?  Is there any
benefit to this plugin that I would lose by removing it?

The previous workaround also worked for me, although you need to make
sure you do "--reinstall" instead of "-reinstall". The specified command
line has "-reinstall", which doesn't work.

[Bug 360807] Re: Pacific tz has wrong start/stop dates for DST

[David M. Karr]

The thread I started on c.l.j.p might have some relevant information:
.

As a result of this discussion, I replaced the hard file
"/etc/localtime" with a symlink to "/usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Pacific".
This appears to "fix" the problem, but I have no idea why (I'm waiting
for a response to that question). This is even more intriguing, as
before I replaced the hard file with a symlink, I did a "cmp" on the two
files, which showed they were identical.

Before I did the replacement, an "ls -l" on these files showed the
following:

davidk...@davidkarr-desktop$ ls -lt /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Pacific 
/etc/localtime 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2819 2009-04-06 08:30 /etc/localtime
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2819 2009-03-30 07:56 /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Pacific

Also as a result of this discussion, I downloaded and ran the
"tzupdater" tool, but this had no effect on the symptom.

[Bug 360807] [NEW] Pacific tz has wrong start/stop dates for DST

[David M. Karr]

Public bug reported:

Here in Seattle, on April 13, we're in daylight savings time.  I've
noticed since DST started that log files created by Java applications
are an hour behind.  I figured it had something to do with daylight
savings time.  Non-Java applications do not display this symptom.

If it matters, here's the output of "java -version":

java version "1.6.0_10"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-b33)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.0-b15, mixed mode, sharing)

I wrote a small test application that prints out relevant information
about daylight savings time.  I'll attach the test code, but the output
it produces follows this. You'll see that as of today, it thinks DST is
not in effect.  It also shows that it thinks DST starts on April 26, and
ends on October 25, which is not correct.

[David M. Karr]

I appear to have "GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true" in my "eclipse" script
already, but I'm finding that I'm still having problems with buttons in
Eclipse.  If I use the keyboard accelerators for the buttons, they work
fine, but if I click the button, it presses in, but nothing else
happens.  While inside the dialog, my mouse cursor is a pointer, but
outside of the dialog, it's the rotating ball (I don't know what else to
call it).  My test case is the plugin installation dialog. I haven't
tried to do anything else with this installation of Eclipse on Ubuntu
yet.  Considering my experience so far, I doubt I'll be able to do
anything useful with this.

[Bug 13191] Re: Can't see details/descriptions of updates anymore

[David M. Karr]

It seems pretty odd that I'm reporting a bug that was apparently fixed
many years ago, but the description of the original report matches
pretty closely to what I'm seeing.

The Update Manager renders a row for each package being updated, with a
little black right-pointing arrow, making it seem like I could click on
the arrow to expand it, but clicking the arrow does nothing.  If I
double-click it, it just unchecks the checkbox (for installing it).

I've been using Ubuntu for a while (but not quite as long as the
original reporter), and I know this used to work, even within the last
year.

[Bug 1576446] [NEW] desktop shortcut names just print the file name ("*.desktop") and a generic icon

[David M. Karr]

Public bug reported:

I have VMs for 14.04, 15.10, and now 16.04.  I've had no particular
trouble creating desktop shortcuts in the first two.  I typically create
a new desktop entry by copying the "*.desktop" file in ~/Desktop to a
new file and editing the contents, changing the Name, Icon, and Exec
properties.  This has worked perfectly fine in the first two.

In 16.04, although "executing" the shortcut (double-clicking, for
instance) works fine, executing the application I want, the display of
it is somewhat defective in two ways.  First, all of the shortcuts I
create this way are using the same generic icon (looks like a document
editor, with "Aa" in text with some little colored boxes).  My "Icon"
property is a fully-qualified path to the icon file.  I've double-
checked that the path I specify there exists.  Second, the label
underneath the icon isn't the "Name" value, it's just displaying the
name of the ".desktop" file, including the ".desktop" extension.

I then tried the "recommended" way of creating shortcuts for "provided"
applications by searching for the app in the "appstore" (don't remember
what that's called) and then dragging the icon I found onto the desktop.
I thought I tried this yesterday, and it resulted in the same symptom,
but when I tried it today it worked fine.

So I then looked closer at the generated ".desktop" file and compared it
to my "hand-coded" ".desktop" files.  The generated one had quite a few
more properties, but I didn't see anything obvious that indicated why
mine was not working properly.  However, I still looked at the
differences and decided to try removing some differences to see if it
would fix my hand-coded file.  The first thing I noted was that in my
hand-coded file, the "Name" property was not the first property setting
in the "Desktop Entry" group, but in the generated one, it was.  I read
the "Desktop Entry Specification", and I didn't see any indication that
the order of those properties was relevant, but just in case, I tried
making that change.

In fact, that appeared to be the problem.  When I just moved the "Name"
property to the first position in the group, the icon and name displayed
correctly.

I'd call this a bug.  This ordering constraint was not required in 14.04
or 15.10, and again, the "Desktop Entry Specification" says nothing
about any required ordering of these properties.

[Bug 1576446] Re: desktop shortcut names just print the file name ("*.desktop") and a generic icon

[David M. Karr]

Unfortunately, now since I did something to "fix" the desktop entry,
even if I change it back so the "Name" property isn't first, it won't
display the problem anymore.  I even tried copying one of them to a new
file with a different name, with the "Name" property not first, and that
works also.

[Bug 1003950] Re: launcher does not show minimized update manager while clicked

[David M. Karr]

I've had this issue for a while.  The update manager window never comes
up, whether I right-click on the icon and select "Update Manager", or if
I run "update-manager" from a shell prompt.  However, if I select "Check
for Updates" or "Install all Available Updates" from that right-click
menu, the progress dialog does come up showing what it's doing.  If I
select "Check for Updates" and it finds updates, when it finishes it
updates the icon to reflect the number of available updates.

I don't know if it's relevant, but this is what I see in ~/.xsession-
errors:

(evolution-alarm-notify:1980): evolution-alarm-notify-WARNING **:

[Bug 1003950] Re: launcher does not show minimized update manager while clicked

[David M. Karr]

Hmm, there was an update yesterday that required a restart, and I
noticed this morning that the update manager is behaving normally now.
I've restarted several times since I saw this first appear, and it
didn't fix the problem, so it seems like it was the update.  I didn't
take note of what was updated.

[Bug 1004112] [NEW] Pressing TAB to complete a word escapes any "$" env var references on the line

[David M. Karr]

Public bug reported:

On a command line in a terminal shell, with Bash, I typed a line like
this:

$ ls $SOMEVAR/somedir/abc

(where the var "SOMEVAR" is defined, and represents a directory that has
a "somedir" directory, and there is one or more files or directories in
"somedir" that begin with "abc") and then pressed TAB, it produced this:

$ ls \$SOMEVAR/somedir/abc

(Added the backslash.)

If I then continue to try completion with TAB, it doesn't do anything,
because the env var is now escaped.  I now have to go back to the
beginning of the env var reference and remove the backslash, and then go
back to the end to try completion again.
