[Bug 192469] Re: [hardy] nautilus crash with Segmentation fault right clicking on Properties of an image file

2009-02-16 Thread Peter Watkins
I'm seeing the same problem, and also have an empty /var/crash directory. 
Running hardy 8.04.2 x86_64, all packages up to date. This sounds like the same 
bug reported here for Fedora: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=472439 as a bug in libexempi (and 
apparently resolved). Use the .exv sample data in that ticket's initial entry 
to reproduce. That is:
 1) make a JPEG (I used Gimp to convert a PNG screenshot to JPEG)
 2) install exiv2
 3) use exiv2 to remove any metadata from the image from step 1
 4) save the Fedora bugzilla sample bad .exv with the same basename as the JPEG 
made in step 1
 5) use exiv2 to import the bugzilla sample metadata into the jpeg
 6) in Nautilus, right-click on the image icon and request its properties.

Or just try viewing the properties of the JPEG I'm attaching now (which
uses the Fedora bugzilla sample metadata)... crashes Nautilus for me
every time I request its properties (as do a number of my own pictures,
taken with a Canon camera).

[Bug 330557] [NEW] nautilus crash right clicking on Properties of an image file

2009-02-17 Thread Peter Watkins
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

Note: opening new ticket per Pedro Villavicencio's note on
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/192469
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/192469/comments/7)

As noted in earlier bug ticket, "Sometimes, right clicking on image file
and selecting Properties, nautilus crash."

I'm seeing the same problem, and also have an empty /var/crash directory. 
Running hardy 8.04.2 x86_64, all packages up to date. This sounds like the same 
bug reported here for Fedora: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=472439 as a bug in libexempi (and

initial entry to reproduce. That is:

every time I request its properties (as do a number of my own pictures,
taken with a Canon camera).

Is this a security problem? Seems plausible, but I have not made any
attempt to determine if the bug is exploitable.

2009-02-17 Thread Peter Watkins
1) Sorry, the instructions on that page are not working for me, possibly
because the ddebs packages are out of date? `apt-cache policy nautilus`
says I'm running nautilus version 1:2.22.5.1-0ubuntu1 (from hardy-
updates/main), but `apt-cache policy nautilus-dbgsym` says only version
1:2.22.2-0ubuntu4 (from hardy/main) is available. Looks like I could
only install nautilus-dbgsym by rolling nautilus itself back to
1:2.22.2-0ubuntu4 somehow.

2) Now that I've failed to install with an "apt-get install
$package=$version" command, would you please be so kind as to tell me
how to remove the =$version pinning so I don't get errors like

  nautilus-dbgsym: Depends: nautilus (= 1:2.22.2-0ubuntu4) but
1:2.22.5.1-0ubuntu1 is to be installed

? I can squelch the errors by restoring /etc/apt/sources.list and
running `apt-get update` but cannot figure out how to clear the error
with apt-get, aptitude, or synaptic when the ddebs repo is enabled.

Thanks.

[Bug 539369] [NEW] iwlagn wifi does not work with 4GB RAM in 8.04 LTS x86_64

2010-03-15 Thread Peter Watkins
Public bug reported:

I have an Intel-based laptop that's been running 8.04 LTS no problem for
a year, with 2 GB of RAM installed. I replaced both RAM modules to
upgrade to 4GB of RAM, tested with memtest86+ (several full passes, no
errors), and then booted into 8.04 LTS again. The wireless (iwlagn) does
not work with 4 GB of RAM in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS x86_64 (but works fine in
32-bit Windows Vista and 32-bit Ubuntu 9.10 -- so the hardware clearly
is capable of using wifi with 4GB of RAM).

Two more data points:

1) Works fine with 4 GB RAM if I run 9.10 x86_64 from a live thumbdrive:

$ uname -a

2) Works fine with 3 GB of RAM with my 8.04.4 LTS x86_64 installation.

[Bug 689761] Re: Half of emacs window missing

2010-12-28 Thread Peter Watkins
I haven't been able to switch to the VESA driver. When I make an
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file to do that, I get this error in my
/var/log/Xorg.*.log:

[21.764] (EE) VESA: Kernel modesetting driver in use, refusing to
load

However, I noticed the emacs problem doesn't seem to occur as the root
user. So I deleted several .* files and directories (settings files and
dirs) in my home directory. After I logged out and logged back in, I no
longer have the emacs display problem. Unfortunately, I didn't delete
them one at a time. I have a back up of them. I'll let you know if I
find the one that caused a problem.

I tried emacs22. It doesn't have the problem. Presently I just run emacs on a
