[Bug 306777] [NEW] No text in some apps

2008-12-09 Thread ardchoille
Public bug reported:

Release:
$ lsb_release -a | grep -i description
No LSB modules are available.
Description:Ubuntu 8.10

Package:
More than one from different types of apps.

Expected:
Text in all apps to be visible.

Yielded:
Text in some apps is not visible.

I have found that text in gftp (gFTP 2.0.18) and /usr/games/gnomine
(gnomine 2.24.1.1) is missing. I can click where the text is supposed to
be in both apps and the expected behavior is yielded, but the text is
invisible.

In gftp, I can scroll in either pane and the text for scrolled items
becomes visible when those items come into view, but clicking on them
makes text for viewable items disappear again. I suspected it might be a
problem with my theme so I changed to the Clear Looks theme (shipped
with Intrepid) and the problem was not resolved.

In /usr/games/gnomine the text for all items is missing. But, if you
pause and resume the game, the text reappears. Clicking on new squares
yields missing text again, but the text that is already present from the
resume remains.. i.e. the user has to click a square, pause and resume,
click a square, pause and resume, click a square, pause and resume, etc
in order to see the text properly.

Both apps were installed from the Ubuntu repos.

[Bug 155100] Re: no tty, only blank screen with nvidia driver from repos

Confirm here too with the nvidia-glx-177 drivers on Ubuntu 8.10 with
nVidia GeForce 6200 graphics card. I reported this same bug in a
previous release (Dapper?) and it was fixed in Gutsy, now it's broken
again.

[Bug 304309] [NEW] Global Menu Bar for GNOME

2008-12-02 Thread ardchoille
Public bug reported:

This is a "needs packaging" bug.

Application name: Global Menu Bar for GNOME
Homepage: http://code.google.com/p/gnome2-globalmenu/
Installation: http://code.google.com/p/gnome2-globalmenu/wiki/InstallingonUbuntu

I have been using this application from its PPA for over a month on
Ubuntu 8.10 and I have seen no problems or bugs. It works nicely and no
longer requires a patched GTK.

I feel that having this app in the Ubuntu software repositories would be
of great benefit to the Ubuntu community.

[Bug 303300] [NEW] Nautilus loses scrollbars upon switching tabs

2008-11-28 Thread ardchoille
Public bug reported:

Bug:
Nautilus loses the scrollbar when changing to a tab that has a scrollbar.

Expected:
I expected the scrollbars in Nautilus tabbed ui to remain when switching tabs.

Reality:
Nautilus loses the scrollbar when changing to a tab that should have a 
scrollbar.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open Nautilus.
2) Go to a directory which has enough folders/files that you get a scrollbar.
3) Click File > New Tab.
4) Go back to the previous tab and look for your scrollbar.

Even without the scrollbar I tried scrolling the mouse wheel and
scrolling doesn't work.

I finally had to do it manually and it worked - it's a good thing I always copy 
the output of installs to a text file just in case. The trouble with this is 
some folks don't memorize the list of packages installed and some installs can 
be quite complicated.

And I'm not sure why, during the uninstall, it tried to remove /etc and
/etc/X11 as that would be disastrous and shouldn't have even been
attempted.

The package managers are our lifeline and users should be able to trust
that they will work as advertised.

UPDATE:
I have learned that I can do:
[CODE]
sudo apt-get autoremove
[/CODE]
to remove unused packages. If the switches were removed by a dev, then I feel 
the man page needs to be updated as many of us rely on man pages to work on our 
system. If the --purge-unused and --auto-remove switches weren't removed, why 
don't they work in Hardy when they worked well in previous releases (I think 
this was fixed in Feisty of Gutsy)?

I realize one package isn't taking up much room on my hard drive but
there are folks who install and uninstall lots of packages on a d

[Bug 129910] Re: tty[1-6] are active but display nothing in Gutsy

2007-10-21 Thread ardchoille
ardchoille here again. I wanted to post some new information in case it
is helpful.

I just did a complete fresh install of Kubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) on this
machine. Here is what I found:

First reboot after the new install I found that all tty's (1-7) are functioning 
correctly.
I installed a lot of apps, made lots of tweaks and reconfigured xorg to get the 
resolution I wanted.
After rebooting, I noticed that all tty's are still working properly. The only 
thing different this time is I did not install nvidia drivers.

The normal way I installed nvidia drivers in Feisty was:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart

The first time I installed nvidia drivers in Gutsy (which started this
problem), I used the Restricted Manager - which I feared but did it
anyway. The thing I disliked about that manager is that it didn't give
me a choice between the nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-new drivers - I
dislike using "new" things because they're usually buggy. I'm wondering
if I install nvidia-glx the old way if that will avoid this non-existent
tty problem. I don't think it's the kernel because I have all tty's
working now on the same machine and same kernel that had the problem
earlier.. I think this has to do with the nvidia drivers.

[Bug 129910] Re: tty[1-6] are active but display nothing in Gutsy

2007-10-21 Thread ardchoille
*** UPDATE: FIXED ***

ardchoille here. I fixed it. I have all tty's working properly now in
Kubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) with nVidia GeForce 6200 card (and nvidia-glx
installed) on an AMD Sempron 2800+.

The problem started after using the Restricted Manager to install nvidia
drivers - it automatically installed nvidia-glx-new without giving me
any options. This somehow caused tty's 1-6 to stop working.

This time I installed the nvidia drivers manually with:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx && sudo nvidia-glx-config enable && sudo
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

I did not alter  /etc/initramfs-tools/modules  or  /etc/modprobe.d
/blacklist-framebuffer  in any way, nor did I run update-initramfs, and
I didn't modprobe anything.

After rebooting, I have all tty's working properly as they were in
Feisty. So, the problem is caused either by the nvidia-glx-new drivers
or the Restricted Manager GUI/app. I probably wouldn't have figured this
out had I not been doing this on the command line for over a year.

Score: command line 1, gui 0

[Bug 129910] Re: tty[1-6] are active but display nothing in Gutsy

2007-10-22 Thread ardchoille
I'm no expert, but I have to disagree for the following reasons:

1) I cannot find "-b" anywhere in my /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts
/init-top/framebuffer file

2) My /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer file still contain the lines
"blacklist vesafb" and "blacklist vga16fb"

3) /etc/initramfs-tools/modules is empty except for some commented out
text

and my nvidia driver and tty's 1-6 are working properly. I can see and
use elinks, mutt, mc, irssi, etc in tty 1-6.

I feel that problem is caused by either by the Restricted Manager or the 
nvidia-glx-new driver, since I installed the nvidia-glx driver manually from 
the command line and all my tty's are working and I am able to see/use them.
It would further narrow it down to hear from someone who has installed the 
nvidia-glx-new driver without using the Restricted Manager.

Even if the problem is caused by the nvidia-glx-new driver, the
Restricted Manager is somewhat to blame because it doesn't give the user
a choice of drivers.. if it did, I wouldn't have had this problem at all
because I would never have chosen a driver with "new" in the name - I'd
be in the same postition I am now with all tty's working and viewable.

gwi,
 I'm sorry it made further problems with your system. However, in all fairness, 
what I suggested was the proper way to install nvidia drivers on a fresh 
install without using the Restricted Manager and this method has worked for me 
on 19 machines as well as the machines of family and friends - which is why I 
thought it would be safe to post.

I am still suspicious that the Restricted Manager is somehow causing all
this mess.

ardchoille

2007-10-23 Thread ardchoille
gwi, no hard feeling.. and you have a very good point. There should be a
standard process to this, since this is a critical bug. Someone from the
dev team should be assigned as "PR" for the bug to come in and say
something to the effect of

"we're working on the bug at the moment and will get back to you with
information as soon as possible. Meanwhile, do not perform 'foo' or
'blah blah' as that is not recommended".

There are times when something seems to be related to the bug, but in
reality is not. I'm no dev and I thought either the nvidia driver or the
Restricted Manager were to blame but, as many here have pointed out,
there are folks being affected who don't even use nvidia hardware.

I feel sorry for the people who just learn about Linux today and
download/burn the ISO only to be confronted with this the very first
time they try Linux. This kind of bug sheds a bad light on all of Linux,
not just Kubuntu, where the Linux newbie is concerned.

When this is fixed, there should really be a 7.10.1 release so the live
cd's are no longer affected.

2007-10-23 Thread ardchoille
I just noticed the date when this bug was first reported:
Bug #129910, first reported on 2007-08-02  by  Miguel Martinez

That's over two months ago. Maybe this is one of those situations where
the dev team isn't interested in fixing the bug.

interbird, you might want to "cat /etc/modules" and see if the expected
text was actually written to that file because those two commands
shouldn't have worked as you expected them to. The sudo echo "blah" bit
no doubt worked, but the redirection should have failed.

Try:
echo "fbcon" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
echo "vesafb" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules

[Bug 158028] Root instance of konqueror does not allow for editing files

2007-10-28 Thread ardchoille
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: konqueror

System:
I'm using Kubuntu 7.10 installed from the Desktop livecd and the system is 
fully updated.

Desired action:
In a root instance of the konqueror file manager, right-click on a file and 
choose an editor to edit the file as root ("open with ..").

Product:
Changes to the file were disallowed due to insufficient privileges

Steps to reproduce this bug:
1) Launch a root instance of the Konqueror file manager, run: kdesu -c 
'konqueror --profile filemanagement /root'
2) In the new konqueror window, right-click on any text file and choose "Open 
with" > Kate or any other text editor
3) The file will be opened in the text editor and you can make changes to the 
file, but saving will not be allowed due to insufficient privileges

It is my opinion that a root instance of the konqueror file manager
should also allow root to edit files via the context menu of that
window. To be able to use Kate to edit a file as root from a root
instance of Konqueror in Gutsy, I had to write a new service menu as
follows:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=0.1
Encoding=UTF-8
Actions=EditWithRootKate
ServiceTypes=text/*,application/x-desktop

[Desktop Action EditWithRootKate]
Name=Edit with Kate (Root)
Icon=kgpg
Exec=kdesu kate %U

I write a lot of service menus but someone new to Kubuntu won't
understand why they can't edit a file via the context menu of a root
instance of konqueror.

I just installed Kubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) a few hours ago on an AMD
Sempron 2800+. Install went fine, then installed nvidia-glx-new (with
the Restricted Manager) for my nvidia GeForce 6200 card. I tried to
ctrl+alt+f1 and noticed the screen was black and none of my tty's work.

ps aux | grep tty reports:

and KDE 3.5.8 is running quite well on tty7.

Is there a fix that works for this problem yet? I'm kinda lost without
my tty's.

2007-10-20 Thread ardchoille
ardchoille here again. AMD Sempron 2800+ running Kubuntu7.10 with nvidia
drivers installed for my GeForce 6200 card. uname -a returns:

Linux localhost 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007
i686 GNU/Linux

I tried this:

sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer
changed the line "blacklist vesafb" to "# blacklist vesafb"
changed the line "blacklist nvidiafb" to "# blacklist nvidiafb"
sudo vim /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and added fbcon and vesafb
sudo modprobe nvidiafb
sudo update-initramfs -u -k all

Now I see the bootup sequence (which I didn't see before) but, as soon as kdm 
starts, tty's 1-6 are black screens.
So, this fix didn't work for me.

Thank you for trying Thomas Sommer, but it didn't work.

I can't live without my tty's. If xorg breaks, I have no alternative but
to reinstall Kubuntu. At least in Feisty, I was able to use screen +
mutt + irssi + elinks + bash + mc in tty 1-6 and was able to continue
work and not have to worry about xorg. This is seriously crippled.

[Bug 159277] serviceconfig hangs at 0%

2007-11-01 Thread ardchoille
Public bug reported:

Using Kubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon).

System Settings > Advanced tab > System Services
When I click on this, a new, small, window pops up with the title "Querying

[Bug 159463] KnowIt docs in the wrong place

2007-11-02 Thread ardchoille
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: knowit

I recently joined the ubuntu-docs team and found that KnowIt was missing
the handbook (khelpcenter entry), so I decided to write it. In searching
my system for information to include in the KnowIt handbook, I came
across /usr/share/doc/HTML/en/knowit. It seems the documentation is
already written, it just isn't present in khelpcenter. I know that most
of the khelcenter items live at /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en so I did:

sudo cp -r /usr/share/doc/HTML/en/knowit /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en

and now the KnowIt handbook is present in khelpcenter.

So, the KnowIt handbook/docs are already written, they're just in the
wrong location.

pages/url's? Is your konqueror the latest version available for Gutsy?

I am using Kgpg 1.2.2 (KDE 3.5.8) running Kubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon). I
am not able to reproduce this bug using the "Steps to reproduce:"
instructions provided. I was able to delete the key pair by right-
clicking, selecting "Delete key pair", pressing the "Delete" button on
the warning dialog and answering yes to the two questions in the

[Bug 180081] Re: the update manager ask me to do this !!!

2008-01-03 Thread ardchoille
Looking at the attached "error message" this is not a bug in Ubuntu.
Rather this appears to be a problem with a custom /etc/apt/sources.list
(ie not the sources.list which ships with Ubuntu). You need to edit your
/etc/apt/sources.list file. Please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu for more
information.

2008-01-05 Thread ardchoille
I am using Kubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) and sgt-puzzles 7446-1. Selecting
'Help / Content' or 'Help / Help on [puzzle name]' in the menu results
in an error dialog stating "There was an error launching the default
action command associated with this location." I notice that
/usr/share/doc/sgt-puzzles contains several files including a
puzzles.txt.gz file which contains a plain text file with information
and directions for each of the games in sgt-puzzles. This directory also
contains a symlink to ../../sgt-puzzles/gnome/help/c (which contains
html files for each game).

[Bug 105265] Re: GNOME Save As dialog continuously resizes itself

2007-04-22 Thread ardchoille
I installed Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) on April 20, 2007 (from the
offical desktop cd  release) and I have been able to reproduce this bug
in several gnome apps. I am using the WindowMaker window manager
(installed from the Feisty repos) and I can confirm this bug. However,
when I log out of WindowMaker and log into gnome, this bug does not
appear. I re-installed WindowMaker and used a fresh setup and this bug
still exists on April 22, 2007.

Public bug reported:

I am running Kubuntu Feisty and when I launch gkrellm (either from the
kmenu or konsole), it starts but does not show up on the desktop for 3
minutes. There is no error output anywhere. Three minutes after I launch
it, it pops up on the desktop and runs correctly.

[Bug 527224] [NEW] grsync doesn't recognize asterisks

2010-02-24 Thread ardchoille
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: grsync

$ apt-cache policy grsync
grsync:
  Installed: 0.9.2-1
  Candidate: 0.9.2-1
  Version table:
 *** 0.9.2-1 0
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com karmic/universe Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:Ubuntu 9.10
Release:9.10
Codename:   karmic

I usually run the following command to backup my storage data to a USB
key and it works flawlessly:

rsync -rv --delete /mnt/sdb1/* /media/85DD-CF46

The grsync gui is nice in that it provides a gui for users who don't want to 
fiddle with the command line.
The problem I found with grsync was that the user cannot use an asterisk:
* the storage (source) directory content changes often so using an asterisk 
makes the task easier.
* the destination directory is a USB key and so the path changes each time the 
key is inserted.
* the grsync gui doesn't recognize asterisks in the text boxes.
* I don't want to have to choose 206 individual directories because they change 
often. Using an asterisk is much easier.

What I expected to happen:
using /mnt/sdb1/* in the source text box to copy over all sub-directories 
instead of just the parent directory.

What actually happened:
grsync executed and reported an error with the asteriskinstead of copying 
directories.
