[Bug 305107] Re: mysql refuses to start after security update

2008-12-05 Thread Henning Sprang
O.k. I checked this again.

I went through the steps mentioned before to reproduce the problem.

After installation of mysql-server-5.0 from the apt repository _without_
security updates, the directory conf.d and a file in it,
old_passwords.cnf EXISTS!

Adding the security repository and then upgrading the package, makes the
directory conf.d be DELETED, seemingly be the upgrade/postinstall
script, and then, the server fails to start!

Nnot only is it wrong in my opinion that a sertver fails to start when
an optional directory is missing, that the upgrade process even deletes
this directory, without which the server cannot start... strange.


Additional info: I made a default desktop install from live cd, not a server 
install.  marking the bug confirmed, as I thoroughly tested it on a clean 
install.

The simplest fix I can imagine would be to change the mysqld start
script to ignore the optional directory if not there.


** Changed in: mysql-dfsg-5.0 (Ubuntu)
   Status: Incomplete => Confirmed

Strange.
I'm checking again - it will take a while.

About the only thing that I did additionally before installing, to
better track changes, is that I installed etckeeper and did

git init-db
git add .
git commit -m "init"

in /etc

You're right!
When I don't do any git / etckeeper stuff, the empty directory remains.
When I do

apt-get install etckeeper
etckeeper init

the conf.d directory is deleted and mysql cannot start.
I did not think that could be causing the error

So we have really two bugs:

1) for etckeeper: it should not delete empty directories after a
system upgrade (in general, don't apply any changes on upgrades,
unless being explicitly told to clean something up)
2) In any case, the issue of the daemon not starting just because a
missing optional directory remains here for mysql

[Bug 305642] [NEW] etckeeper deletes empty directories on apt-get upgrade

2008-12-05 Thread Henning Sprang
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: etckeeper

1)
lsb_release -rd
Description:Ubuntu 8.04
Release:8.04

2)
apt-cache policy etckeeper
etckeeper:
  Installed: 0.14ubuntu2
  Candidate: 0.14ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 0.14ubuntu2 0
500 file: hardy/universe Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3)
I did a security upgrade of the package mysql-server-5.0, and would expect it 
to work fine after the upgrade.
To reproduce:
* install a plain ubuntu system 8.04
* disable security and hardy updates (or disconnect from network) in  
sources.list
* apt-get install etckeeper
* etckeeper init
* apt-get install mysql-server
* check mysql - it's running
* check dir /etc/mysql/conf.d - it's there and a file inside
* add security update repository / network connection
* apt-get update
* apt-get upgrade
* check dir /etc/mysql/conf.d - it's missing, mysql not running

If I leave etckeeper out, the directory is there, empty, and mysql is
working.


4)
Instead of just kepp running, mysql refuses to restart, seemingly  because the 
directory /etc/mysql/conf.d is not there anymore.
As described in bug 305107 ( which keeps valid for mysql because it should not 
refuse to start because a missing empty and optional directory.)

Re: [Bug 305642] Re: etckeeper deletes empty directories on apt-get upgrade

2008-12-06 Thread Henning Sprang
Sorry, but I can't due to time restrictions.
But I can give some more explanations:

With "nothing changed", I mean:
I am absolutely sure that I did not change any default.
I exactly entered the commands I wrote here and nothing else, starting
with a completely plain Ubuntu Desktop install from Live CD with no
actions taken after the install apart from the ones reported here.
Especially, I never ever in my whole life touched any etckeeper config
file on any system I ever used.

With "git, I guess", I mean:
Given the previous explanation, if etckeeper installs with git as
default, it is git. If something else is etckeeper's default, it is
this. But I assume and am 99,9% sure it is git.

This problem already took about a day for me to find everything I
reported until now, much more than I thought when originally reporting
this bug and other things start to press me - I might find some time
to check back next week or the week after.

Please remind me if you still think it's necessary.

Hmm, you're right, I was just about to write that I never touched or
created it, but I have such a file.

It's probably something reportbug nicely creates for me when I first use
it.

And when I transferred my whole home dir from Etch to Hardy, this came
to Ubuntu - and was wrong...

It's not even Fix Released, it's Invalid!

oops, sorry, I obviously forgot that...

Maybe launchpad should get an extra field for this, and ask people one
extra time if they forget to fill it in (but still let them save if
they, for some reason, don't know which package it is.

seems correct:

The script in error seems to be /usr/sbin/mysqld

dpkg -S /usr/sbin/mysqld
mysql-server-5.0: /usr/sbin/mysqld

source of this is the package you mentioned.

Thanks for setting it right!

Yeah, I think I already saw that somewhere.

But now I searched for two hours for the help menu of
mysql-server.5.0, and I cannot find it - do you have an idea?
No, just joking, I think that hint doesn't work for server daemons :)

Anyway, hope that thing get's fixed soon - I believe that is a very
grave error to happen - a security update that breaks the abilty of a
server daemon to start is no fun at all!
I'm happy that I don't use Ubuntu on servers, this would have been a
major catastrophe.

I don't know. Reproducing an error that only occurs after a system

a click in a GUI application :)

> * If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?

As I wrote - the problem is caused by a security update.

I have no time to check that now(maybe sometime these days), but I
guess it can be reproduced like that:

* install Ubuntu 8.04 from an old cd - and do NOT include the apt
repository for security updates
* install the mysql-server-5.0 package
* check if the is a directory /etc/mysql/conf.d - it should NOT be
there - if it is there, the error will not be reproducable, and this
directory has been deleted from my system for some strange reason
* check that the mysql daemon is running
* add the apt repository for security updates
* run an upgrade
* restart the system and/or try to restart the mysql daemon

Hope that helps

yes, see my second post :)

Strange, I installed the mysql-server-5.0 package in a hardy live cd,
but here, the directory /etc/mysql/conf.d is created and it contains
the file old_passwirds.conf. I have no idea how this file could be
removed from my system.

Still, a daemon should definitely not fail to start because a
directory that contains optional, additional configs is not there.

I'm checkin further to find out
* whether maybe even the package install script itself is responsible
for removing the file/directory
* whether previous versions of the mysql package also are unable to
start when the directory is missing.

and get back with more info...

2008-11-14 Thread Henning Sprang
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: eog

When a user choses "save as" - for example when saving a file downloaded
from the internet, he should be provided with the current name to edit
it.

This is important for users not very computer-save, as they otherwise
fail to add a correct filename extension - and for more experienced
users it's convenient, as often one wants only change the name a little
bit

[Bug 243851] Re: OpenOffice Calc freezes and causes 100% CPU when selecting certain cell

2009-05-14 Thread Henning Sprang
same issue here with Hardy and OOO 2.4.1 - and especially one specific
document.

After reading this, I tried to remove a merged cell in the document -
I'll check if the problem goes away with this.

What I don't understand is how I would use OOO 3 on Hardy. I see only 2
being available.

> Which version of postfix are you seeing this in?

Sorry for not giving this info - it just happened on the upgrade from
2.5.1-2ubuntu1 to  2.5.1-2ubuntu1.2, on hardy.

But while testing further, I realized that I also couldn't just go
back to the *1 version.
Removing the package completely, and just simply installing it again
worked fine.

Now, postfix's debconf data looks like this:

* postfix/mailname: filet.lazy

  postfix/mailbox_limit: 0

The diff being

(which might be not 100% exact, as some of the differences might be
due to the fact of me playing with the settings to persuade postfix to
get installed)

I also messed with the postfix.config file a bit, but to no useful effect.
So it's probably unclear whether the error is really caused by changes
in postfix or by changes in general debconf handling code (e.g. the
perl helper libs?!)

[Bug 246096] [NEW] networkmanager creates incomplete resolv.conf

2008-07-06 Thread Henning Sprang
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: network-manager

>From time to time, network-manager lacks to set resvolv.conf correctly.

It' quite sure that this isn't a DHCP problem, because with debian machines 
with dynmic ip settings, but wiothout nm, this does never occur.
With my 2 Ubuntu notebook (gutsy and hardy) it happens from time to time.

I then have to disable networking in the nm applet, re-enable it again,
and it most often works. But it's very annoying.

Like that the resolv.conf looks when it happens:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
### BEGIN INFO
#
# Modified_by:  NetworkManager
# Process:  /usr/bin/NetworkManager
# Process_id:   6337
#
### END INFO

search mydomain


And after disable/re-enable:


[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
### BEGIN INFO
#
# Modified_by:  NetworkManager
# Process:  /usr/bin/NetworkManager
# Process_id:   6337
#
### END INFO

search mydomain


nameserver 192.168.0.2


It's not reproducible, it "just happens" and I see no cause.

[Bug 206635] Re: ATA Revalidation Failed

2008-06-03 Thread Henning Sprang
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 153702 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153702

I have the same error, also on the Dell Inspiron 530, after an upgrade from 
Gutsy to hardy.
But I cannot confirm that trying to boot the 2.6.22 Kernel which is still on 
the system after the upgrade works.
Adding all_generic_ide to the Kernel command line does the job.

What I find interesting is that I am quite sure that at first, even after the 
upgrade the system did at least one reboot quite well, as I did the upgrade 
some days ago, and rebooted after it as recommended. And the error only started 
to occur today, after I changed partitioning a bit.
But even resetting partitions to the previous state did not help - until I find 
this bug here.

Probably this came in parallel with another package update - so _maybe_
some changes in a security update in the last week did break the
problematic things?!

Let me know if you need more data or info.

2008-06-03 Thread Henning Sprang
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 153702 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153702

I found something interesting:

After adding the kernel-option all_generic_ide in the menu.lst to make
this boot style persistent, I ran update-grub.

Here, I've been notified that if I want to keep the maintainer's version, or 
mine - the proposal was to keep mine.
Looking at the diff's it seems as the so-called maintainer version contained 
"all_generic_ide option.

I vaguely remember that after some of the upgrades last week I have seen that 
question before, but chosen the default "keep own version" without looking at 
what the maintainer's version had to offer. 
(BTW, the menu.lst wasn't really changed).

Don't know how to classify this bug and what to do against it -
definitely I'd expect a product bought with Ubuntu by a large
manufacturer to have a better tested upgrade process to newer versions.

[Bug 226906] Re: Hard lock when module e1000 in use

2008-07-22 Thread Henning Sprang
Same issue here - since I started to migrate from Debian Etch to Ubuntu , I 
have these freezes on a regular(say: daily, 8-hourly) basis.
Makes me go back to Debian soon.

As reported here that the same effects are happening on Debian: yes,  I
vaguely remember, when I tried to use a newer (> 2.6.2X) kernel on
Debian, I had similar problems - one, if not the main reason why I
migrated to Ubuntu was I thought I'd be able to use newer kernels (and
therefore things like KVM virtualization).

[Bug 193531] Re: pxe booting not supported

2008-08-09 Thread Henning Sprang
With the current rom-o-matic I didn't see the above selection of ROM is 
possible.
What I did is, I built upstream sources and then: cp -a 
./qemu/pc-bios/pxe-rtl8139.bin /usr/share/kvm/ in the source tree. That seems 
to boot with the default kvm NIC.
(at least it asks for ip and stuff, I'm stil about to set up the tftp properly, 
but5 I expect no surprises here)

I think, here a border of usefulness of software vs. the total avoidance
of blobs i reached, and such things should be included.

2008-07-31 Thread Henning Sprang
Hmm, so the e1000e from sourceforge solves the crashing problems.
It's easily installed with an make install when I have the right header files.

But since I'm running it, Suspend to RAM seems not to work anymore.

Which means: the systems goes to sleep, but when trying to wake it up,
it shows a black screen, with a blinking text cursors in the top left
corner, and nothing else ever happens again (the longest time I did wait
was about 15 minutes).

[Bug 254174] [NEW] KVM crashes with "exception 13 (33)" after an interrupted installation

2008-08-02 Thread Henning Sprang
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kvm

Steps to reproduce the bug:

* create an empty disk image with qemu-img myimage.img 5G
* start debian lenny netinstall d-i and run installation with "kvm -hda 
myimage.img   -cdrom lenny-installer.iso
* in the middle of the install(while package installation, partitioning is 
succeeded), close the kvm window, that way killing the whole process.
* try to start the installer again, with the same command as above.

Result:

in the consoile window I get:

Solution:

Starting kvm with the additional argument "-boot d" runs the installation
again.

So, it's obviously some strange effect with kvm and a disk that does have
partitions but no proper bootloader.

Still, and unexperienced user (I have more than 5 years of qemu and
virtualization experience), would not easily find a way out of this
situation, with such an error message.

Maybe one should grep the whole source tree to make sure it's not used
anymore...

[Bug 317128] Re: ntp-update: Error while configure ntp - error code 1

2009-01-17 Thread Henning Sprang
The problem obviously come from line 47 in the postinst script:

update-rc.d ntp multiuser 23 >/dev/null

The multiuser keyword seems unknown to update-rc.d

Replacing multiuser with "defaults" - I did it manually now by editing 
/var/lib/dpkg/info/ntp.postinst - lets me install the package properly, or, in 
this case now, fix the broken install with 
apt-get install -f

If I understand your way correctly, you are deleting a file completely
instead of fixing it.
I'd rather go with fixing it ;)
But if it works for you now, you can keep it as it is - onloy for the
next time, if the problem is not fixed in the next version of ntp, you
could try my solution.

Hmm.
But real hardware and some other virtualization solutions say
something like "not bootloader found" or something like that.
Why shouldn't kvm be able to say that?

Yes, I know it's not too hard to fix. I already wrote a workaround in

[Bug 53131] mercurial 0.7 doesn't work with python 2.4

2006-07-16 Thread Henning Sprang
Public bug reported:

Mercurial 0.7 on Ubuntu Dapper with python 2.4 gives a long traceback
message when trying to do any real work. When just typing "hg" it prints
the help message with no error, but any real command (e.g. hg update, hg
revert, ...) gives just a long, meaningless traceback message.

I contacted the mercurial developers and where told that I should use the 
newest versio 0.9 - they are not surprised that mercurial 0.7 doesn't work at 
all with python 2.4.
(I'll forward these mails containing that conversation here later).

as the mercurial hg script starts with 
#!/usr/bin/env python

A workaround would be to change this line to use python2.3 and install
this package accordingly.

It would be better, though, if Ubuntu wouldn't package spoftware that is
totally unable to run in such a default configuration in the very first
place, that doesn't look exactly well maintained

Please update the mercurial package for dapper to 0.9 with the next
maintenance release...

Yes, but it's also true that it did not work well and nice until dapper,
when I think, Reinhard Tartler started working on this.

I am the "Lazyboy" mentioned in this bug report, but my work goes only
into "installing Ubuntu from a Debian FAI Server" - as opposed to
"running a FAI SErver on Ubuntu, installing Ubuntu".
Ubuntu is only used as a Desktop OS for me, so I stopped working on FAI
running on Ubuntu when I saw it was too hard and no one cared anyway
(see below).

I think, unless the reporter states that this bug still exists, this can
be closed (it's mentioned that it's for breezy).


The question of general/full FAI support in Ubuntu, and making FAI the
official auto-Installer for Ubuntu seems another one, with an
political/informal background.
We(the FAI developers team) offered Canonical/Ubuntu to help getting FAI
better supported on Ubuntu, but no one seemed to be interested. It
seemed that they are content with the kickstart "workaround/config
converter" and with d-i preseeding(which, in my opinion fails, as soon
as you have more complex setups, and need to set more stuff which isn't
foreseen in debconf questions by the maintainer).

The upsides of using FAI are quite easy to see:
- class-based configs, so system classes can be combined at your wish
- multiple install  mehtods: network install, install into directory(for
xen/chroots/other virtualization systems), and cd installs
- multiple distributions installable from one server: we currently have
the possibility to install (even different versions of) debian, ubuntu,
redhat, suse, and there is work going on to get even windows installed.

So, it should not be hard to see the upsides of this against
preseeding/kickstart - only a decision to set on this mature and
flexible technology would be required :)

To define "a lot" a bit clearer, I'd say, yes, it's nearly a full time
job for one person to constantly keep auch an installer framework
playing nice with every new release and even keep supporting the LTS
releases.

I don't think it needs more than that one person(assuming the person
knows FAI well), and in a full time job, this person would have enough
time to get some new features added Ubuntu users might be interested in
like a GUI and a wizard to get initial setup of a FAI Server done easier.

As for "enterprise grade" and "rock solid" - I think FAI is both, but it
depends on the definition :)

As for you, my time is also limited, and I don't use Ubuntu on servers.
Still, I can at least help with the conceptual side.
It would still require some more people really interested and testing
this stuff in their production environments.

I'll look at the pages you mentioned these days - that might be the
place where we could write down some thoughts on how FAI could be made
even easier to use and show up ways how FAI can be used an integrated on
Ubuntu.

For the time being, the link to "see the url for this specification" on
the page
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/automated-installation
gets me to a "forbidden" error message...

It could be that Ubuntu's domU support is somehow broken  and we might
be able to fix this.
But it _coud_ also be that some things in the nfsroot creation of the
fai package patched for ubuntu does something wrong. (e.g. on Debian
dom0 and Debian domU I use it a lot and never saw this error occur)

I didn't try Ubuntu as a FAI (or Xen) server for a long time, but at a
first glance, I find the usage of libc6 strange - it should be
libc6-xen.  We might be able to work around that!

Do we try to install the ubuntu-base package, which pulls in libc6?
Is that a known good practice to do on xen domU's?

[Bug 81319] xubuntu screensaver disabling is hidden very deep

2007-01-24 Thread Henning Sprang
Public bug reported:

When  installing and running the xubuntu-desktop, the xscreensaver is
enabled by default.

That is no bad thing by itself, but the menus don't show the option to
disable it.

It takes quite some time to go through all options in the settings menu
(and, because one expects the screensaver setting there, one goes
through them double and triple), and really drives one crazy.

Only after finding the right google search, I found this- so it's a long
existing problem:

http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=339855

As for documentation/resolving: running xfce-setting-show shows a full
xfce settings dialog, where the option screensaver can be found. There
should also be a button in the setting menu for this.

I don't agree completely with setting this low importance: the current
systems menu let one set every other important aspect, and, as I said,
one can easily waste a lot of time, searching for it, because a lot of
the other menus look as they _could_ contain the screensaver setting
(view, desktop, I think about 3 or 4 ) - resulting in longer searching
without a result.
I am surely no Linux newbie, only an xfce newbie, and the only
workaround I found before getting the right google search was "killall
xscreensaver"

And to some people it is really annoying to have a screensaver started.

So, in relation to how easy it is probably to add a "screensaver" icon
to the setting menu, this bug should be normal importance (somehow I
didn't set that right, sorry).

I think I don't care so much for myself, now that I know the workaround,
and I probably will go back to using gnome soon, but it really gave me a
bad time - I only want to help making xubuntu-desktop get better!

Hmm, interesting, then it's really easier to reach than I thought, and
easiert than a google search revealed.

But then, theres another usability problem(without which I had probably
found it):

Why are nearly, but not all, buttons available in the settings manager
repeated again in the settings menu?

If in the settings menu there where only the settings manager, plus the
2 or three things that aren't available in there, I'd for sure had tried
that and found the screensaver settings.

Or, if in the setting menu all things from the settinmgs manager were
available, it can also be found.


Also bad: the settings buttons have different names in the settings
manager and in the settings menu - this is very confusing.

I have this bug again, even though it's said to be fixed.
(I wonder, the line menitioning the fix seems to have nothing to do with the 
problem described here!)

Appears now since I upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic last night.

But: only appears for one user! I have another suer opn the same
machine, where Icons keep in the place were I put them, even after loout
and login.

Also, for the affected user, the "Keep aligned" setting cannot be turned
off as reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/36244

Or better: if turned off, it's turned on again after next login! 
So there might be some connection with Nautilus having general problems keeping 
things as chosen be the user?

[Bug 481440] [NEW] svn status -u not working anymore since upgrade to karmic

2009-11-12 Thread Henning Sprang
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: subversion

Upgraded from Jaunty to karmic last week, and using subversion now for
the first time since that upgrade.

It seems in some strange way the subversion client is now bound to gnome
functionality for authenticating against servers and does use the
authentication tokens alsready stored in my subversion config directory
anymore, instead asking for some gnome "apps" keyring password, which I
seem not to know.

It looks like this:

usern...@myhost:/path/to/workdir$ svn status -u
Password for 'apps' GNOME keyring: 
svn: OPTIONS of 'https://svn.project.org/svn/path/to/repository': authorization 
failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge 
(https://svn.project.org)

The client worked perfectly and for many months before this happened.

While it might be not a too bad idea to use gnome keyring in general, I
see it as a failure that svn does not revert to the "usual"
authentication methods if that fails. That's not O.K., and I'm really in
trouble now!

Re: [Bug 305107] Re: mysql refuses to start because missing !includedir configuration directory

2010-04-23 Thread Henning Sprang
Chuck, why is that changed this way?

This problem is two bugs!

* etckepper shouldn't remove empty directories - that is handled, and
fixed, with a bugreport on it's own as can be seen in the history here!

* a program not starting because a directory missing that _might_
contain _optional_ config files is a bug too, IMHO - why should it worry
about a missing directory, when it's contents are optional, and it can
very well run without any information in that directory, instead
insisting the empty directory must be there?

So, please move this bug back so it can be fixed where it belongs -
thanks.

Or close it, if you think a program should be allowed to insist whetever
empty directory to exist so it can start, even if it'll never need that
directory.

[Bug 479342] Re: 9.10 - Samsung NC10 - HSPA modem - cannot connect to EDGE/UMTS network after suspend

2010-01-29 Thread Henning Sprang
same problem here, but restarting network-manager does not help.
Sometimes going to hibernate(suspend to disk) helps, but not always, as I 
realized just now.

[Bug 447170] [NEW] cheese crashes xorg / Xserver

2009-10-09 Thread Henning Sprang
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: cheese

When starting cheese, a Windows opens, no picture is shown, and it
appears to be loading something (moving blinking stuff in the middle),
but after some seconds, the whole X session crashes.

Happens everytime I start cheese - so it's not only unusable for me, but
also affects the whole system.

I also thought about letting FAI be removed.

But fai-client works well and can be used for configuration management
for systems installed manually, with images, or with D-I.

fai dirinstall (for chroots and virtualization environments) should
also work well.

Maybe the fai-server might be removed, I'm not sure.

IMHO that's wrong.

people doing installs from a debian server and manage configs with
fai-client afterwards should be able to use that current(or a simple
newly snced) FAI very well!

And, as I also said in the other post, dirininstall should also work
well, adnd last time I tested, fai-cd was also no problem (even at
times, where ntework installs where problematic already).

It should be enough to remoive the fai-server package.

Well, some people have to work and cannot be always online.
It might be useful to discuss some trhings on a mailing list, so other

He's not using it there at all, and never will, and so cannot take the
point of view of a user.

For people actually using it, fai-client works pretty well, and the
things announced here make things more complex for all people who only
want to manage configurations, doing their installs another way (e.g.
from a debian install server, with D-I, with dirinstall).

That's many steps to do in addition for people described above!

Why not do something so someboidy installing the fai-server package is
warned that it will most probably not work?
Why not disable the building of the fai-server package in the build scripts?

[Bug 482622] [NEW] After configuring a caldav Calendar, 100% CPU load, caldav not loaded

2009-11-14 Thread Henning Sprang
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: lightning

When I configure a caldav resource (from a Kerio Calendar in this case),
the first time, in the same session (no restart of the program) it takes
about 30 seconds to load (the system using 100% CPU in this time), but
finally the calendar is shown.

But the next time I start thunderbird, the program uses 100% CPU
forever, and the caldav calendar is never shown.

The very same Calendar works well with the standalone sunbird program -
it also takes some secsonds to load at start, but then data is shown and
no further problems.

[Bug 1935074] [NEW] Plugins cease to work due change in plugin loading and key shortcuts handling

2021-07-08 Thread Henning Sprang
Public bug reported:

One example:

Thunderbird cannot anymore handle the "s" key shortcut as
expected(handing it over to the Nostalgy++ plugin for doing what it does
when receiving this key) and as it worked before the update.

The developer write:

"Attention for TB 78.11:
on TB loading, TB first sets Nostalgy keys, and after that, it sets its own TB 
keys, overwriting the keysetting of Nostalgy.
In earlier versions of TB, TB did wait with loadiing of addons until TB itself 
was ready.

That means after TB start, out of the box, the keys do not work.
There is a workaround: open TB addons page (tools-> addons), deactivate 
Nostalgy++ with the blue slider switch, then reactivate Nostalgy++. Now it sets 
its key after TB is ready and they stay until the next restart."

IMHO It's not good to introduce such a major functionality and API
behaviour change with a minor version update labelled as security.

(A similar thing happened with enigmail, by the way, which has been made
impossible to use and replaced with a broken and incomplete internal
implementation).

[Bug 1935568] [NEW] after having a bug reported, locked screen, and coming back, ubuntu-bug -w leaves a gksudo dialog for dmesg open

2021-07-08 Thread Henning Sprang
Public bug reported:

I reported two bugs today, and both times, after having finished
reporting the bug, locking my screen, and logging back in, suddenly
there was a dialog asking for my sudo password so it can execute dmesg.

But I could neither hit cancel nor could I enter my password, it
apperaded that anything I did, especially clicks, made the window
*below* the dialog react.

First time I solved it by rebooting (because I had some packages to
upgrade anyway), second time by killing gnome-shell and letting it
restart.

This dialog definitely did not appear in the process of reporting the
bug, the first time it appeared on screen was minutes after completing
the bugreports in launchpad, plus locking and unlocking the screen
afterwards.

Might also be a problem with gnome-shell or gksudo(?), but it only ever
happened to me when using ubuntu-bug -w.

see screenshot - it looks like this after:

* reporting a bug with ubuntu-bug
* locking screen
* logging back in


The dialog does not react on clicks or keyboard input, all input apperas to be 
going to the underlying app, firefox here.

Besides automatic crash reports which i haven’t seen happening for

I only used it yesterday for thunderbird and this bug here…

Gonna try when back at the device.


It could be that the crash reporting

Actually i haven’t been aware of a jackd crash recently.

but maybe i just didn’t perceive it as one, while it regularly quits when
switching off my external audio interface - which might look to apport as
unexpected but to me is expected.

I definitely don’t remember apport doing something about an jackd crash
recently , and this effect described here never appeared before having used
ubuntu-bug -w yesterday.

2021-07-10 Thread Henning Sprang
Yes I understood that, that's why I explained a bit about jack and that
I never saw an apport activity or the problem with the dmesg dialog
before just because of jackd.


So, I deleted the /var/crash stuff, and locked the screen and back in, as you 
suggested, but no problem appeared.

I could provoke a jack crash again by switching my sound device off while jack 
was running.
I get crash reports in /var/crash but no hanging dmesg dialog as described in 
the original report.

2021-07-10 Thread Henning Sprang
I tested a bit more.

I tried again with ubuntu-bug -w and  selected thunderbird.

Today I directly get a visible and reacting sudo dialog when reporting a
bug for thunderbird.

I am very sure that I did not get this dialog  the last time, only as
described the broken unresponsive one. Because I also was a bit upset
about the amounts of data about my system, my devices, my username, my
ip address got attached to my bug...

Anyway, not sure if this a bug in gnome/ gnome-shell rather than ubuntu-
bug/apport itself...

[Bug 1938230] [NEW] thunderbird encrypts drafts without being asked for

2021-07-27 Thread Henning Sprang
Public bug reported:

Since having upgraded to ubuntu 21.4 yesterday, suddenly all drafts are
being encrypted.

I need to to keep editing my drafts also on a mobile device where I do
not have and do not want to have my opengpgp key.

I did search the config/settings area and the whole web and did not find
how to disable that.

autoencryptDrafts is false for that account.

What can I do?

[Bug 1907005] [NEW] package is 3 years behind upstream and Debian

2020-12-06 Thread Henning Sprang
Public bug reported:

The current version of qjackctl in upstream and Debian testing is 0.6.3,
but the latest version in Ubuntu since Focal is 0.5.0, which has been
released by upstream in 2017.

Please consider updating to the latest version if possible.

If you need help doing so, please let me know, I'll do my best to
prepare what is needed.

I didn’t mean to say the package should be updated in focal. I just
mentioned it didn’t change since then.

If it can be updated for the next release, that would be perfectly fine!

Thanks.

I tested The latest debian source and it builds just fine for groovy, in
case this helps.

[Bug 1907005] Re: package is 3 years behind upstream and Debian

2020-12-07 Thread Henning Sprang
@eeickmeyer thanks for updating the package in hirsute! ;)

As of the suggestion to use (ubuntu) Studio Controls:

As far as I understand, this does not include graphical midi connection
management, which is an important thing I use qjackctl for.

I am aware of the great work of ubuntustudio, but the last time I
installed the packages, sometime beginning of the year, something
interfered with my grub setup, rendering my system unbootable. It took a
while to get back running(and to find that only purging all ubuntustudio
packages somehow solved the problem), without seeing exactly what the
problem was, and then i lacked the time to really investigate how it
happened and why, to create a proper useful bugreport that would be
reproduceable and actionable.

So for now, as long as I use these things on my main system that i
depend on for my day work, I can only work with small single packages
that I know work well for me.

If there is any help needed to further maintain qjackctl and keep it up
to date for future releases, please let me know what I can do!

[Bug 1713017] Re: Enable MIDI support

2021-01-07 Thread Henning Sprang
as far as I can see in the bluez package source, the midi option is
enabled now, so it *could* be closed...

But even though it's on, I dont get it working, so I cannot confirm for
sure.

Expectation is: when connecting to a device, I get an alsa sequencer
client, but I dont see that happening.

But also I am not sure if I use it correctly, as i see nearly no documentation 
about it, despite one place that said what I mentioned above in what I expect 
to happen.
I dont even know for sure if this direction is supposed to be unidirectional or 
bi-directional. (e.g. if my laptop can be the midi host, device or both). 

I'll keep trying. If anyone has a pointer to docs how it is really
supposed to work, so i can confirm, it would be helpful and this ticket
could be closed.

Re: [Ubuntustudio-bugs] [Bug 1914110] Re: Update very old RNBC packages

2021-02-01 Thread Henning Sprang
Imho packages that are outdated to a level that makes them unuseable or
much much less capable and/or not beeing supported anymore by upstream
because they aren’t taken care for in Debian should be removed until a
maintainer is found or the issue is fixed in Debian.

Just copying major bodies of work from the original distribution which in
turn seems having lost interest in tracking upstream progress is no good
explanation for distributing totally outdated stuff.

A distribution is ultimately responsible for what it distributes and simply
closing such reports is not very friendly towards users.

At least such a report could be used to track further steps to improve the
definitively unsatisfying situation.

[Bug 1902801] [NEW] Encvrypted attachments cannot be opened or saved as decrypted files

2020-11-03 Thread Henning Sprang
Public bug reported:

I have been using enigmail in thunderbird until I upgraded Ubuntu and
with it thunderbird to the latest version 1:78.3.2+build1-0ubuntu1

As enigmail is now integrated in thunderbird, I have gone through the
painful upgrade process (it does not allow to look into passwordmanager
for the pasphrase of the gpg keys it wants to import by blocking all
other windows), and decryption of emails now works.

But when looking at a decrypted email, fully being able to read the text
content, when I want to use the Menu option "Decrypt and Open" by right
clicking on an attachment (pdf in this case), nothing happens.

What I expect to happen: The pdf file being shown to me in the pdf
viewer. Or some error being displayed, or maybe I am asked for my gpg
passphrase again for additional security.


When trying the option "Decrypt and save as", next I can select a folder and 
filename, (the pdf name without .gpg) and chose "save" - but when looking into 
that folder, there is no decrypted file. (I tried this plenty of time, I am 
sure its not there, and I did this action before the upgrade many times 
successfully).

What I would expect: the attached file without the .gpg suffix (the
filename proposed when opening the dialog, which I did not change) in
the selected directory.

[Bug 1247650] [NEW] Bluetooth Mouse losing connection after suspend

2013-11-03 Thread Henning Sprang
Public bug reported:

When Using a Microsoft Sculpt mouse, after waking up the system from
suspend, I'd expect the mouse to continue to be working as before the
suspend.

Instead,  the mouse is displayed as connected in  bluetooth settings,
but the system doesn't get it's commands, nothing happens when trying to
use the mouse.

Reconnecting (NOT repairing!) - setting the connection off, and on again
- makes the mouse work again.

The problem seems to be slightly similar to the ones mentioned in 
#1158462 and #1094744

just the difference for me is that there is no repairing necessary, and
the device is displayed as being connected, but not working, and I can
reconnect it to get it working again.

because of this, and as the bugs above are said to be fixed, I open a
new issue hereby.

I seem to have a similar problem, on saucy.

Should the fix for this problem be included in standard saucy, or do I

If the former, I might have a different, new problem.

Seems to me this thing is not completely fix as of duplicity
0.6.21-0ubuntu4.1 in saucy, and I just lost a backup on a remote machine
that took 2 days to build up, then was broken/undecryptable with the
same messages and symptoms as found in this bug here, and I even
unintentionally deleted the whole big data transfer that took two days
by trying to repair it somehow with the "cleanup" command.

Let me know if you need any information that helps fixing this thing, or

[Bug 761587] Re: Unity makes Gajim unusable

2013-07-06 Thread Henning Sprang
or to have it in one simple, idiot(like me)- proof command:

gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "$( gsettings
get com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist| sed s/]/,\
\'Gajim\']/)"


adds gajim to the existing entries in the whitelist.

I wonder if that isn't a job that must be done by the software at first
start, as running it in any different way is obviously useless and
buggy.

That being said, I'm not sure what would be the best way to solve this?
I migh be interesting to help getting it fixed if I have an idea how to
do it right.

the old(?) version of gajim works perfectly after applying the above
solution, so as I said, it's not gajim being wrong but unity for some
reason blacklisting notifications by default.

Anyway, if it's solved in 13.04 with the unity / gajim combination
available there, we probably shoudln't worry further ;)

+1  about this decision is bad for usability and everything.

it breaks applications that are usually working just fine.


it was already bad enough that Ubuntu broke applications by default by not

Re: [Bug 298017] Re: "save as" should provide current name and file extension

2011-07-13 Thread Henning Sprang
Hi,

Thanks for the question.

as I'm quite short on time at the moment and don't have Narwhal running
yet anywhere, I'm unlikely to be able to test it in the next month or
even more.

So I'm happy to close the bug - I'll  reopen or add it as new should I
stumble on the problem again.

Thanks,
Henning

[Bug 1975430] [NEW] I can select the Xorg Nouveau server, but not click on "apply"

2022-05-22 Thread Henning Sprang
Public bug reported:

I want to switch back from the nvidia driver to nouveau.

In the dialog the last row lets me select the Nouveau driver, but the
"apply" button is inactive and doesnt let me apply the change.

There is also no message or anything that would allow me to understand,
why this is the case, and what i could do about it.

heres also the outout of ubuntu-drivers debug that I learned in anothe
bug can be important:

[Bug 1973379] Re: "additional drivers" says we are using nvidia drivers but its not true

2022-05-22 Thread Henning Sprang
ok, sorry it took some time as I was debugging another issue...

Now i would like to go back to the state where nvidia drivers are not
installed and they do not get installed as described so i can create the
debug output, but due to this bug i just reported, I cannot change this
state currently:

[Bug 1975430] Re: I can select the Xorg Nouveau server, but not click on "apply"

2022-05-22 Thread Henning Sprang
Another thing i just tried:

I thought *maybe* this problem is because I was running a custom built
mainline kernel and the drivers GUI doesnt want to change a system with
non-original Ubuntu kernel, but I just rebooted in the standard generic
kernel and the problem persists.

[Bug 1975430] Re: I can select the Xorg Nouveau server, but not click on "apply"

2022-05-23 Thread Henning Sprang
OK, tracking down this stacktrace I found the problem:

it appears that kerneldetection.py fails when I have a custom built mainline 
package installed.
that would make this a bug in "ubuntu-drivers-common" 

It appears to be irrelevant that I am *running* the standard Ubuntu
generic kernel - the error occurs when I just have this kernel package
installed, and it goes away when I remove it!

Maybe it doesnt happen with all custom packages, i have a slightly
special name:  linux-image-5.17.9-hs-custom-2022-05-22-a  - I assumed
when dpkg-deb can build it, this name is fine.

Might add more detail later...
