[Bug 388402] [NEW] OpenTTD dies silently when data files are not installed
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: openttd Ubuntu version: 9.04 Package: openttd 0.6.3-1 Preconditions: package is installed, but additional required data files are not Expected behavior: a dialog should pop up explaining that the data files are not installed. Optimally, a gksudo or policykit-enabled dialog would prompt the user for its location and install them on the fly. Actual behavior: if the data files are not installed, OpenTTD dies silently (i.e. there is absolutely no feedback to the user after clicking on the menu item). In order to copy the data files, one has to do so manually, with the additional hurdle of having to copy them into /usr/share/games, i.e. a non-user-writable zone. ** Affects: openttd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: data files installation openttd -- OpenTTD dies silently when data files are not installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/388402 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 388402] Re: OpenTTD dies silently when data files are not installed
I propose the following patch, a shell script that would replace "openttd" as the command to be executed by the OpenTTD menu item. It checks that the data and music files have been installed. If they haven't, it offers to install them, automatically using gksudo for the copy and Zenity for the GUI prompts. - It requires data files to be installed, if a suitable source is not found or the user cancels, the script dies - Prompts only once for the non-essential music files, if its installation is rejected it does not ask again Currently it has two main bugs: first, for the sake of asking only once for the data files source directory, it might not check that it contains the music files also before trying to copy them. Second, it's not internationalised. However, I'm in exams right now and this is all I could patch together before returning to my books. ** Attachment added: "OpenTTD start script that checks for the files and offers to install them" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28028213/openttd-start.sh -- OpenTTD dies silently when data files are not installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/388402 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 388402] Re: OpenTTD dies silently when data files are not installed
Here is a new version that adds gettext support and fixes the following bugs: - If the user cancelled the gksudo "enter password" dialog, it would pop up again and again, once per file. Now the script tried to invoke the "true" program first, and if authentication fails or is aborted, the script understands that the user wants to cancel. - If the user rejected the installation of the data files, the script would go on and ask about music files, then try starting OpenTTD. All this makes no sense if the data files are missing, so now the script dies if the user rejects installing the data files. - find_ttdx_folder would always look for $DATA_FILES instead of $1. Fixed Btw, I understand that improving the first-use interface of a game is not that important compared to other bugs, but I would appreciate any signs of life here. If there is some interest about this new version of the patch, I can provide a Spanish translation. ** Attachment added: "Internationalised version of the same script" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28068462/openttd-start.sh -- OpenTTD dies silently when data files are not installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/388402 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 17343] Re: special device /dev/fd0 does not exist
What I don't get is why the "floppy" module is not automatically loaded in the Intrepid kernel. I understand that virtually no laptops and consistently fewer desktops include floppy drives nowadays, but it's a 76 KiB driver, for the sake of the FSM! I think that it should be loaded by default in the following cases _at the very least_: 1. Upgrades from Hardy et al: these versions did have it enabled, so the disappearance of their floppy drive can be anything to users, from puzzling to annoying. 2. New installations, if there is a floppy drive detected: the LiveCD should load the driver so that the installer could check if there are any floppy drives Also, any required drivers should be auto-loaded if an USB floppy drive is connected, of course. -- special device /dev/fd0 does not exist https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/17343 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 868658] Re: glade crashes when trying to edit a GtkTreeview
Apparently the actual bug lies with GTK+. There is a simple hack/patch for Glade, too, which the Ubuntu maintainers might consider applying if the GTK+ update is not going to be applied fast. ** Package changed: glade (Ubuntu) => gtk+3.0 (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868658 Title: glade crashes when trying to edit a GtkTreeview To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/glade/+bug/868658/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The package from the ppa fixes the problem for me. However, I had to --force depends it to install (seems to depend on packages only available on Maverick), so the question is could the fix be backported to Lucid? -- oregano crashes with SIGSEGV when trying to run a simulation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/493375 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Same as #13, I confirm that the fix works for me with do-release-upgrade -p. The upgrade from Mantic to Noble ran to completion and everything seems fine.
