[Bug 241256] Re: Openoffice 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu1 apps crash on "save as" / "open"

2008-07-01 Thread Simos Xenitellis
It looks like the issue relates to the GNOME integration work (package:
openoffice.org-gnome).

When you click on Open or Save As, you get a dialog box that comes from
GNOME. It does not appear to be Java related.

[Bug 196277] Re: [hardy] keyboard layout switching shortcut doesn't work after reboot

2008-07-03 Thread Simos Xenitellis
Frantisek:

The source of the problem appears to be that when X starts, it tries to
initialise the current layouts, and I believe that it does a bit later
than GNOME itself. As if GNOME sets the layout correctly, then X.org
kicks in and resets to the values found in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Therefore, one workaround is to place all the settings in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf at they keyboard layout section.

I sent an e-mail to the X.org mailing list,
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-July/036938.html

We will see if that clears up the confusion.

[Bug 196277] Re: [hardy] keyboard layout switching shortcut doesn't work after reboot

2008-07-03 Thread Simos Xenitellis
First of all, we are all in the same boat. We all want to get this
fixed, and the only way to get it is by contributing our time on
figuring out a solution.

Secondly, I am not aware that a developer is funded to work full-time on
keyboard issues and X. There are some other issues pertaining to
keyboard support, more complex than this issue. It would be great if
there was a person funded to work full time on these core issues.

Mirza, we want more evidence that the source of the problem is that, due
to autologin, X.org is too slow to set the layout settings, and it sets
them AFTER GNOME has done so, essentially overriding GNOME. In your
reply, it is not clear that from your tests, you verify the above. You
mention "random". Does it work for you for some cases, while in others
it does not work?

Frantisek, I had a discussion with the developer of libklavier last
week. It is possible to write a program that invokes a function from the
libxklavier library so that it configures again the keyboard layout. I
believe this is what you are asking me. Another way for a workaround is
to figure out where/when is the GNOME applet invoked, and add a delay
for, let's say 5 seconds, before actually running the applet. You may
find the developer at #xkbconfig on Freenode if you want to take this
further.

2008-07-04 Thread Simos Xenitellis
Frantisek:

You should check again the workaround with added  setxkbmap to the GNOME 
session startup.
This should work. I think you mentioned above that it did not work for you, 
however I would like to insist on this.
Could you please describe all the steps you took to add the command in the 
sessions?
An alternative would be to write a script that looks like

--
#!/bin/sh

(sleep 5; /usr/bin/setxkbmap) &
--

and invoke that command in the sessions. What the command does is it
sleeps for 5 seconds before running setxkbmap.

Mirza: In many cases there are some minor differences in applying
commands, which cause the difference in results. I believe it is
imperative to double-check the steps. I hope it clears out when
Frantisek tries again.

Ubuntu and Fedora is you and me. I mean, these are community projects, and we 
are members.
When the alpha/beta versions of Ubuntu and Fedora come up, it's good to try 
them out in order to catch these bugs early.

Something really good is if someone can verify whether this bug exists
in Ibex (Ubuntu 8.10) as well. If so, we can edit the title of the

Emilio, such a terse statement does not help much.

Are you a newbie that just reiterates the issue of not running things as
root, although package managers, network diagnostics, etc actually require
and run as root.

Reading the discussion so far, we are in a stalemate. Having an initial
package of Eclipse 3.4, from a PPA repository, that allows to get Eclipse
installed and then configured in GUI all the way, is a positive thing to do.
This might lead to a proper solution in the near future.

[Bug 394663] [NEW] "hal-system-smbios --st_wlan" reports rfkill switch always on, nm-applet always disabled (wireless, dell laptops)

2009-07-02 Thread Simos Xenitellis
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: hal

Since the fix at 
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/368553
a bug in hal-system-smbios appeared that always reports that the rfkill switch 
is on, regardless of actual position.

Quite a few users are affected, 
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7549951#post7549951
who downgrade 'hal' to a version that reports (due to a script error) that the 
rfkill switch is always off (so wireless regarded as always ON).

A similar report is "dellWirelessCtl needed for Dell machines"
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/131835
though the workaround described in the bug description still does not make 
hal-system-smbios report the correct setting for rfkill. It might need some 
extra work in that direction.

To verify the bug,

$ sudo /usr/lib/hal/hal-system-smbios --st_wlan
1

Toggle the rfkill switch on your laptop and

$ sudo /usr/lib/hal/hal-system-smbios --st_wlan
1

hal-system-smbios should report correctly the position of the rfkill
switch (either 0 or 1).

I think this report is currently described in a general way and we need
to narrow down the description.

Does the problem only appear when one is trying to use their PPTP
(compared to VPNC, OpenVPN) account?

I had tried quite a few different options and I managed to get PPTP VPN working.
I think the issue was that EAP (in Authentication methods) was enabled.

Could someone try, with their vanilla system, that simply by disabling
the EAP authentication method, they are able to connect to their PPTP
VPN using NetworkManager (no other configuration hacks) in Ubuntu 9.04?

2009-02-27 Thread Simos Xenitellis
This is an issue I have seen quite a few times. You can google search for this 
and get several results.
The cause of the problem is either
1. the type of IPv6 that Ubuntu has enabled by default (ahem) does not allow 
DNS requests to the router to succeed. Try to disable IPv6 and check to see if 
this is the case.
2. There is a flag that is added to packets from Ubuntu that your router is 
unable to cope with.

Sorry for the rushed description above. I hope it helps you to take this issue 
further.

This means that there is not much that Ubuntu can do to remove from the list,
because that list is Debian's. You may contact Debian for this issue.

Being practical, my view is that what's missing is helping hands in packaging 
the new version of Eclipse. The packaging would take place at Debian, or 
someone 
could package and put on their personal archive (launchpad.net offers space for 
this).

Trying to encourage someone to spend time in packaging Eclipse 3.4+ is
what we need to do.

  The submitted Catalan translation of the browser start page correctly
  spelled the title of the start page in UTF-8 format [1]:
  
  "Pàgina inicial de l'Ubuntu"
  
  However, the released start page did some kind of conversion to the "à"
  character, which has been converted to some unreadable character and
  thus is not being displayed correctly (see attached screenshot).
  
  Note: I am reporting this against ubuntu-docs because the browser start

  browser start page I do not know where it resides anymore. Please

[Bug 251443] Re: keyboard layout switching shortcuts like Alt+Alt do not work anymore

2008-09-26 Thread Simos Xenitellis
Josh:

The part where you reboot and the switching does not work is a known issue that 
has been resolved.
In Ubuntu 8.10 it is fixed. However, for Ubuntu 8.04, the packages have not 
been updated with this fix.
What happens is that with autologin (I assume you have this enabled), the 
keyboard layout settings are not set properly, so you need to invoke the 
Keyboard Indicator applet, and if you make any change (tick, untick), it 
applies the full settings to the system and now everything work. See the 
description at the top for more.

Regarding the Both Shifts option, this one works for me, and it appears to work 
for you as well.
It is another big issue in the X.Org X server that it has been identified and 
it is being worked on. Personally, I have switched to Both Shifts and I find 
this workaround quite convenient.

[Bug 251443] [NEW] keyboard layout switching shortcuts like Alt+Alt do not work anymore

2008-07-24 Thread Simos Xenitellis
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

(Report https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/196277
used to cover two separate but similar looking bugs. We split them now,
and here we describe one of the two bugs. The other bug has to do with
autologin, which when enabled, ignores any keyboard layout settings that
have been configured in GNOME, the graphical interface).

In the keyboard layout preferences, you can set "Both alt keys together
change layout", which worked in Gutsy for toggling between keyboard
layouts.

Currently:
* "both alt keys..." does not toggle keyboard layouts
* "both ctrl keys..." does not toggle keyboard layouts
* "both shift keys..." works fine
* "Alt+shift" works fine

Steps to reproduce it are:
* Visit System->Preferences->Keyboard-Layouts
* Press Add and add a new layout.
* Close preferences.
* Open Text Editor or whatever you want and write something with Double-Alts it 
switch layout and writes with the other layout
OK till now.
* Reboot.
* Open a text editor and try to switch layout... Boom! It doesn't work!

Temporary Workaround. Open Layouts again and remove/add the second
layout to start working again.

another workaround using a script:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/196277/comments/60

The text in the applet will change, to make it appear to be setting the correct 
layout, but the changes do not take effect.
Actually shortcut doesn't work at all, I set to be alts toggle in keyboard 
preferences, and it doesn't work, another thing is that even with keyboard 
indicator applet you change language, it doesn't changes, name in the applet 
changes, but it doesn't work. I need to open keyboard preferences, layout 
options, remove the tick and then put it back on keyboard layout switching 
shortcut.. As I said, shortcut doesn't work after this, but applet starts to 
change the layout, not only letters on itself.

This issue has been sufficiently confirmed. Please do not comment on
this bug unless you have some information that will help solve the bug.

[Background]
Both Canonical and upstream are aware of this issue and consider it of high 
importance. Unfortunately, the root cause is not something that can be easily 
fixed.

The issue is that to solve this problem, we need to have a way to save
the ExplicitVModMapMask, which is tracked okay in memory but not when
the configuration is passed via XKM binary files, because the XKM binary
file format simply doesn't have a field for storing the VModMask flag
data. The XKM file format allows only 8 flags to be set, and there are
already 8 defined. See the upstream bug report for details:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4927

Upstream's proposed solution to the problem is to remove the xkbcomp
design and the xkm file format entirely, and switch to new X input
technologies. This will be a fairly sizeable re-architecting effort, and
will take time to complete. If you would like to help contribute to this
solution for this problem, please work with Sergey Udaltsov.

Out of curiosity, could you please try the following,

1. Change the shortcut that lets you switch between keyboard layouts to 
LShift+RShift (that it, it does not involve the Alt key)
2. Try again Alt+Tab, etc and report if it now 'works'.

Again, this is an issue that is related to the inner workings of the

Comparing with my output, it does not show something different.
What you can do now is set the XKL_DEBUG variable in /etc/environment
If you set it to 100, you will get very detailed output. You can try 100 first, 
and if the output is too much (a line per key pressed), you can change to 1.

Then, you can attach the .xsession-errors file in this report (there is
a way to attach files from below).

[Bug 196277] Re: [hardy] keyboard layout switching shortcut doesn't work after reboot

2008-06-17 Thread Simos Xenitellis
The picture I have is this:

A. Ubuntu and GNOME have their own system to deal with switching
layouts, adding options such as whether to get the euro key and so on.
You see these in System/Preferences/Keyboard/Layouts.

B. Traditionally, the Linux desktop would read this information from the
cryptic file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, in the Keyboard section. Over there
you can set all the options that you normally set now in the graphical
user interface.

C. When the graphical interface starts, GNOME makes a decision; is it
possible to use the settings in System/Preferences/Keyboard/Layouts?
Now, it appears in some cases, the answer is no (for example, if you
have Autologin enabled), so GNOME eventually uses the keyboard settings
found in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. These settings are not configured, and it
ends up just typing English.

The hot issue is this:

Does this problem appear when you enable Autologin into GNOME?

Can you verify that when you disable Autologin, the settings work
(requires reboot)?

Are there other cases (when Autologin is off) that the problem still
appears?

2008-06-17 Thread Simos Xenitellis
Nxx: You are currently the only person mentioning that the problem
exists for you, even when you disable autologin (or timed login).

Could you please run the command

gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd

and report back the results?

What I am interested in is the value for the "overrideSettings"
variable.

If this variable is "false", then GNOME ignores the settings in
System/Preferences/Keyboard/Layouts, and uses the information from
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.

AFAIK, this variable ("overrideSettings") is set to "false" when you are
presented with the situation you describe with "also in Ubuntu 7.10 I
was sometimes asked afted boot which settings to use: from xorg.conf or
from Gnome" in your comment above.

Jacob,

Ubuntu Linux is this community; which is ourselves.
When we find bugs, we cooperate in figuring out what's the source and how to 
fix them.
If one does not have programming skills, they can still help with triaging, 
testing and reporting back what is requested.
All this work is voluntary, whether it is Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE or else.
Suppose some guy manages to fix this bug. Is anyone going to send him/her a 
personal e-mail thanking them?
We, as end-users have to figure out constructive ways to attract people to help 
in programming, or make the effort ourselves as well to help with figuring out 
these bugs.

I would like to switch this discussion back to constructive effort, and
eventually fix this bug.

Editing the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf is not a fix but a workaround.
A "workaround" is a temporary measure to get something working. 
The proper way is to have our systems working without having to manually edit 
configuration files.

[Bug 196277] Re: [hardy] keyboard layout switching shortcut doesn't work after reboot

2008-06-18 Thread Simos Xenitellis
Bryce, it looks to me that the issue that you are referring to 
is different from the issue that the GUI layout settings are not enabled
when the user has activated the autologon feature.

When GNOME starts, libgnomekdb makes a decision 
whether to use the system layout settings (found in /etc/X11/xorg.conf), 
or use the user-configured layout settings (found in gconf).

The latter is the typical choice, and only when gconf settings are not 
provided, 
libgnomekdb ends up using the system (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) as last resort 
("shortcut does not work after reboot").

What it looks to me is that during autologin, libgnomekdb fails to read
the gconf entries (maybe gconf is started a bit later, or something?) so
it ends up with the system settings (xorg.conf).

[Bug 196277] Re: [hardy] keyboard layout switching shortcut doesn't work after reboot

2008-06-22 Thread Simos Xenitellis
This bug report mixes together two separate issues.

The first issue is that some shortcuts that can be used to switch between 
layouts, do not work. They do not work due to issues that related to the X.Org, 
and are described at
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4927
A workaround here is to change the shortcut to something else that works.

Then, this report switched to a different issue. When autologin is enabled, 
GNOME (keyboard settings) are not able to configure the shortcut or any other 
keyboard-related settings (such as euro, compose, layouts, etc). This is (most 
probably) due to the autologin feature.
The workaround here is to disable autologin.

Rapolas (reporter), how shall we go about this issue? Which issue do you
want this report to cover?

[Bug 196277] Re: [hardy] With autologin, keyboard layout switching shortcut/settings don't work

2008-08-01 Thread Simos Xenitellis
** Description changed:

- (This bug used to cover two separate but similar looking bugs. We split
- them now, and here we describe one of the two bugs. The other bug, Bug
- #251443, has to do with some shortcuts to switch between layouts not
+ (This report used to cover two separate but similar looking bugs. We
+ split them now, and here we describe one of the two bugs. The other bug,
+ Bug #251443, has to do with some shortcuts to switch between layouts not
  working. An example is the Alt+AltGr shortcut).
  
  If you enable autologin (it is in the settings,
  System/Administration/Login window/Security/Enable Automatic Login),
  then any settings about your keyboard layout including the shortcut to
  switch between layouts do not work on your next reboot.
  
  In other words, the system ignores any keyboard layout settings that
  have been configured in GNOME.
  
  This issue has been reported upstream (Freedesktop Project), and the
  link is shown above.
  
  A good description of the root of the problem is at this post by Peter 
Hutterer,
  http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-July/036947.html
  
  "setting the keyboard without a device flag changes the VCK.  On the
  first keypress of a device however this setting is overwritten by the
  keyboard that is actually being used. If you hit a key before gnome sets
  the keyboard layout, the phys.  keyboard's settings are already copied
  into the VCK and thus gnome can overwrite them again. consecutive
  keypresses don't overwrite it again, since the phys. keyboard doesn't
  change.
  
  "The correct solution here is to let gnome set the keyboard settings on
  each physical device they apply to."
  
  A workaround is to run "setxkbmap" (command line utility), which
  reapplies the layout settings in GNOME.
  
  Another workaround is to make a small change in the Keyboard layout
  settings, something that implicitly reapplies the settings from GNOME.
  For example, you can change the order of the layouts, then change them
  back.

It is common for layouts to be based on a generic layout (such as
"latin", and then some variant), rather than the layout of another
country. The reason is that if "gb" makes changes, then these will have
to propagate to the mt layout.

What you can do is pick the most appropriate "latin" variant, and for
the rest of the keys you can add in the Maltese layout.

This is not a ttf-dejavu bug; it is probably related to KDE4 and the support 
for theming and sharing configuration settings.
By flagging it as a ttf-dejavu bug, the chances for a correct fix are limited.

What I suggest: 
1. Try to restart the system to make sure that the settings are properly 
propagated to the GTK+ applications.
2. You would need to try to verify whether the same bug exists in Kubuntu 9.04 
(or much preferably, with Kubuntu 9.10-alfa).
This would get the top response, since it is the version that is actively in 
development.
3. Reassign the report to a main kubuntu package.

the maintainer of LogJam.

The description of the issue at LiveJournal is quite clear; a client
software simply needs to set a User Agent string in the requests, which
is quite reasonable.

[Bug 36358] Re: Chinese menu font mis-aligned/garbled

2006-07-05 Thread Simos Xenitellis
Thanks for providing the fonts.conf file.

The important section is

sans-serif


DejaVu Sans
Bitstream Vera Sans
Verdana
Arial
Albany AMT
Luxi Sans
Nimbus Sans L
Helvetica
Nachlieli
FreeSans
MgOpen Moderna
Kochi Gothic
AR PL KaitiM GB
AR PL KaitiM Big5
MS ゴシック
Baekmuk Dotum
SimSun


fontconfig goes through the list in the search of a font that provides
glyphs for Chinese. Sadly, FreeSans is listed over the CJK fonts, so it
is selected and hides all proper CJK fonts.

What you must do is place FreeSans (FreeFonts) at the end of the
 list, as the quality of the glyphs it has is not uniform.

For your testing purposes, you can simply edit your fonts.conf file and
remove any reference to the fonts freesans, freeserif or freemono.

I reported this upstream to 
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7429
This will help with other distributions as well.

There is an effort to provide more precise configuration options to
fontconfig that can solve the generic font hiding issue. For example, it
would be easy to say that the CJK glyphs in Freefonts must not be used.

The problem does not persist anymore in Dapper or Edgy, closing bug

Now Dapper/Edgy have a default font that has Greek and also the GNOME

[Bug 146518] Re: strigi encoding problem - cannot read i.e. Greek

2007-10-12 Thread Simos Xenitellis
Thanks for the update.

This shows that the directory name "deb package-προγράμματα" is saved on
the filesystem are correct UTF-8 text, therefore there is no data
corruption whatsoever.

The kpackage screenshot shows that the program probably runs in Unicode
(you can see Greek), but the filename/directory name is garbled. It
appears as if KDE considers that the filesystem encoding is not UTF-8
but rather something else, such as the legacy encoding iso-8969-1. If
you could search in the settings to find something like
"filesystem/filename encoding", it might provide help.

[Bug 146518] Re: strigi encoding problem - cannot read i.e. Greek

2007-10-06 Thread Simos Xenitellis
When you see text such as προγραμματα (many Î) or ?, 
then it is an encoding issue.
In the first case  I think what happens is that non-Unicode text (iso-8859-7) 
is considered as UTF-8 and is shown like that.
In the second case, there is severe corruption; there was a conversion 
necessary to a limited encoding, so all missing characters are shown as ???.

In encoding situations like this it is good to supply a screenshot
demonstrating the problem. Could you please create a screenshot and
attach it to this bug report?

In addition, the problem may have arisen from user configuration
changes. You may have changed the system encoding to iso-8859-7 to make
some programs work? Can you verify whether this has been done?

Finally, it would be important to verify that a clean Gutsy install has
or does not have this bug. This would help verify the report and put
resources to fix it. Are you able to install a Beta Gutsy and try to
reproduce the bug? If not, can you provide a list of instructions so
that someone can try to reproduce? It is important to be able to
reproduce the bug.

I hope this helps.

[Bug 146518] Re: strigi encoding problem - cannot read i.e. Greek

2007-10-08 Thread Simos Xenitellis
It looks to me that the problem is with a specific folder only. You have
a folder with invalid name, probably Greek, under

/home/spiros/my documents//

Now, the question is, how did you create that folder? Did you use
konqueror? Did you use another program?

If you download the packages (I think you were trying to install
something called winff) again and place them in a different folder, you
should be able to install problem.

What happened on your system is that you got a corrupted folder name, so 
anything inside is not easily accessible. 
The source of the problem is the tool you used to create the folder. It is not 
"strigi" that fails to work; any application will struggle with the corrupt 
folder name.

[Bug 146518] Re: strigi encoding problem - cannot read i.e. Greek

2007-10-12 Thread Simos Xenitellis
To help figure out what the problem is about, we need a test.

@vistakiller, 
1. Could you please open a terminal window and run "locale".
Post the results here.
2. Change to the directory (still on the terminal) called "/home/spiros/my 
documents/" and type "ls".
Check visually if the Greek text appears ok.
If the Greek text does not appear ok, can you please type "ls > 
/tmp/buginfo.txt".
This will create a file called buginfo.txt with the directory contents. Make 
sure there is no private information there.
Then, you can post the contents here. This will help to identify the exact 
nature of the encoding problem.

I went by the LKML (linux-kernel mailing list) on this issue and I
believe the answer for this precise issue (the issue of not being able

2007-05-21 Thread Simos Xenitellis
Gstreamer comes with a plugin, cdxaparse, that parses a .dat file from
(S)VCD into raw MPEG-1.

Reference: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gst-
plugins-bad-plugins/html/gst-plugins-bad-plugins-plugin-cdxaparse.html

Do   gst-inspect-0.10 | grep -i vcd
to check if you have the plugin.

[Bug 10713] Re: Broken context-sensitive spell check in Evolution (Greek, Hebrew)

2008-04-16 Thread Simos Xenitellis
Evgeny, would it be possible to check on your system for Greek or
Hebrew?

It is quite weird that it works for all languages you checked. Did you
manage to find a language that did not work?

When you check in different languages, I suppose you clicked on 
System/Administration/Language support and you ticked all these languages. 
After the packages were downloaded, you logged out, then logged in setting each 
time one of the new languages as your system language.
Then, you clicked to compose an e-mail in Evolution.

a. When you right-click on a mistyped word (red-jagged line under the word), 
you get a context sensitive menu with usable suggestions (sometimes you get 
single character words which is some mistake).
b. When you click for a full spell checking, it picks up valid typos and offers 
suggestions.

For Greek, you can try

Αυτά είναι ελληνικάρ.

The last word should appear as a typo, possible giving as options
"ελληνικά" or something similar.

2008-04-16 Thread Simos Xenitellis
Evgeny, many thanks for the detailed testing and reporting.
Sorry for messing up your Russian spell checking in Evolution.

This gives a hint that something might be wrong in the Greek spelling package.
If someone from the fellow Greeks can dissect the aspell-el .deb file, it would 
be really great.
My crude guess is that the problem might be related to text encodings.

I'll update the upstream report as well.
