[Bug 359760] Re: Notifications are shown during full screen flash videos
This happens with any Flash video. Go to youtube and start playing any video and select full screen. Then press your volume keys and note how the video jumps out of full screen. All notifications do this (new email, IM changes etc) which is very highly annoying. Under the hood (ie at the X level) I believe what is happening is that the notify window is stealing focus from the fullscreen window. It shouldn't do this unless what it is showing is so important that my choice to have a fullscreen window with focus must be ignored and overridden. Flash being proprietary has nothing to do with this. Incidentally Windows does not have this problem. My friend who I converted to Ubuntu insisted on having a Windows partition just to watch Hulu and similar Flash video because this behaviour annoyed her so much! -- Notifications are shown during full screen flash videos https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/359760 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 270303] Re: firefox (intrepid): "your browser has been updated and needs to be restarted"
Me too. Savvas' workaround worked for me. Mackenzie it is not about tabs. Firefox says it wants a restart. You click on restart. Firefox exits and restarts itself. Then a few seconds later says it needs a restart. So you click restart and it does. Then it comes up saying it needs a restart. Rinse and repeat. It also displays the restart message in every single tab including new ones you open which gets very annoying very quickly. -- firefox (intrepid): "your browser has been updated and needs to be restarted" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/270303 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 284729] [NEW] [intrepid] xemacs with compiz hangs entire desktop
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: compiz Using Intrepid as of an hour ago upgraded from Hardy. If I enable compiz and then run xemacs and then maximize xemacs, the entire desktop becomes pretty much useless. One entire screen of my dual screen setup grayed out in the way that compiz does to unresponsive programs and then I couldn't click anywhere or move any window. Only going to a console and killing compiz.real solved the problem. top showed X using most of the CPU (~75%) followed by compiz ~15% and xemacs ~7%. It should not be possible to hang the entire desktop like this. The single most likely cause is an issue in xemacs. Basically it always wants to resize to a multiple of the size of a character whereas the window manager wants it to be the width the screen. The two programs then have a battle over what the size should be. Bug #3982 from 2.5 years covers this issue in xemacs itself, which still isn't fixed in xemacs-intrepid. This bug report is that compiz makes a bad situation worse by effectively disabling the entire desktop even though it is only one program that is misbehaving. ** Affects: compiz (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [intrepid] xemacs with compiz hangs entire desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/284729 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It was still an issue right up until a few days ago when I upgraded to Intrepid. Since Intrepid has the items as a menu the bug can't be repeated. I did see the problem with other windows as well. For example I use Enigmail with Thunderbird. On first sending an email it would prompt for my pgp passphrase. Most of the time the prompt window would appear underneath Thunderbird.

[Bug 278660] Re: Add support for Sandisk Sansa Fuze in hal
I just bought an 8GB Fuze today. The current 10-usb-music-player.fdi on Intrepid is wrong. It needs to include 0x74c1 as the USB pid. You can also see 0x74c1 in Rob's listing. It also omits mp3 as a supported format! (The Clip also supports MP3). Actually the listing of supported formats across all Sansa devices in the .fdi file seems rather messy. Sandisk do push their firmware updates heavily and their earlier releases were somewhat buggy so my preference would be to optimise for current firmware (ie Ogg, Flac support) vs the older stuff. Doing a firmware upgrade is easy. Under Windows you run their updater software. Under Linux & Mac you place a single file in the root directory of the device and unplug from your computer. So if someone with old firmware ended up with Ogg/Flac files on their device and they didn't play, copying one more file and unplugging would be easy. ** Attachment added: "lshal that includes Sansa Fuze 8GB with current firmware" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18701150/fuzehal -- Add support for Sandisk Sansa Fuze in hal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278660 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Public bug reported: I don't know if this a fault of the window manager (metacity), volume control applet or X server. I have a dual screen display (using proprietary Nvidia 8800GT drivers). Since upgrading to Intrepid (current as of 4 hours ago) pressing the volume keys results in broken behaviour. I have a window maximized on each screen. The little display that shows the current volume appears on whichever screen my mouse is on. On the other display in the same position and size my wallpaper appears. When the volume display goes away after a few seconds, the window behind is restored behind it. The wallpaper remains on the other display and I have to refresh the application display to get it back to normal. I have focus follows mouse and no desktop effects (ie using metacity).

[Bug 290921] [NEW] archive.ubuntu.com config prevents caching
Public bug reported: I don't know of any better way to report this bug. The configuration of archive.ubuntu.com prevents proxy servers from caching packages. This may be because of poor configuration of archive.ubuntu.com, buggy behaviour of that software or an opportunity for the apt client to ignore one part of web standards to improve things. To reproduce, configure a Squid proxy server and then use it to upgrade one machine eg to Intrepid. Now do the same on a second machine. If you monitor the Squid logs you will see all the files being redownloaded due to a TCP_REFRESH_MISS. This means the cache had the file but on checking with the server found the cached file to be stale. The root cause is a round robin set of ip addresses are returned for us.archive.ubuntu.com. For example I see 91.189.88.31, 91.189.88.45 and 91.189.88.46. You can then query each one of these for the same file, looking at the headers returned replacing the IP address as appropriate. wget --no-proxy --header="Host: us.archive.ubuntu.com" -O /dev/null -S http://91.189.88.31/ubuntu/pool/main/libh/libhtml-tagset-perl/libhtml- tagset-perl_3.20-2_all.deb The Last-Modified header is identical across all 3 servers, but the ETag is different. Because the ETag is different the proxy server has to conclude that the content is stale. The bad effect is that upgrading N computers at a site that uses a normal proxy server requires N downloads which for a dist upgrade can be close to 1GB. That sucks up more of your bandwidth and pointlessly increases server utilization. Note that .deb with the same name do not change anyway. Some suggested fixes: * Stop sending back ETag from servers and only rely on Last-Modified /Content-Length to detect cache invalidation * Don't include inode in ETag calculation: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#fileetag * Calculate the ETag from the file md5/sha * Have a really long DNS cache timeout for round robin returned values (eg two weeks) rather than the very short interval so the same server will be hit from the same proxy I haven't been able to work out a way for the apt client to prevent the Squid proxy from paying attention to ETag. Note that this same issue will affect any caching/proxy server that obeys web standards. One other workaround is to install an apt/deb specific proxy (which then ignores the web standards) but that then requires me to manage to proxy/cache servers when just the one would work fine if the ubuntu.com ones were fixed. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- archive.ubuntu.com config prevents caching https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290921 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 284541] Re: Update manager does not report the last update correctly
Ah that explains it. Since upgrading to Intrepid a few days ago, the
last updated time shown by update manager has been nonsensical. This
morning it said I last updated 4 days ago and right now it says the last
update was 6 days ago. I have updated and rebooted several times over
the last few days to no avail.
One repository with issues for me is VirtualBox - the PUEL version with
repositories as detailed at
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads They don't have intrepid
yet but I have left that in in my sources.list.d so it will
automatically be picked up.
The ddebs for intrepid-{updates,proposed,security} also give errors. It
would be nice if instead those repos existed with zero length lists of
packages.
In any event update manager shouldn't use the last update time of
repositories that are 404 not found as the time of the last update to
display!

I can confirm this using only Ubuntu packages on a fresh Hardy install (and on a second machine). http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_enable_the_fingerprint_reader_with_ThinkFinger#Hardy If you do a resume within a few seconds of a suspend then you are asked for a fingerprint swipe. If you wait longer then you are not. My guess as to the cause is that the fingerprint hardware (connected as a USB device) takes a few seconds to power off completely and a few to power on completely.

[Bug 235297] Re: Fingerprints stored in unsafe location
It is best to consider biometrics to be identification, not authentication. See Schneier's essay at http://www.schneier.com/essay-019.html and note the sentence "Biometrics are unique identifiers, but they are not secrets". Using thinkfinger is good for convenience, but not security. Note that there are also other attacks. The device is connected by USB on thinkpads. You can simply open up the wrist rest (a few clearly marked screws underneath) and plugin a device that emulates the fingerprint reader, but always says success. The reader in thinkpads is capable of far more functionality including storing the fingerprint within the device itself and providing a password/key on successful verification. This is available on the Windows software. The fprint page has some more detail at http://www.reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Upekts - the lesson again is that undocumented hardware can only be partially supported by Linux. -- Fingerprints stored in unsafe location https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/235297 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 235297] Re: Fingerprints stored in unsafe location
Earlier versions of thinkfinger did store the fingerprint in a "secure location". They would be stored as /etc/pam_thinkfinger/USERNAME.bir with the directory and files only accessible by root. The pam_thinkfinger code may still support this. Unfortunately this led to two problems: * The files had to be copied to multiple machines even when users had a single networked home directory * Fingerprint verification could only be done when the pam_thinkfinger module is running as root. This broke many things #138957 In Hardy thinkfinger was changed to use your home directory so that there are no issues with needing to run the pam modules as root. If you still want root only access to the fingerprints then you'll need to write a setuid helper module for authentication - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome- screensaver/+bug/138957/comments/6 If you have access to the user home directory then your setuid enrollment program won't help since the bad guy can just run it as you and enroll their fingerprint, although the real user will eventually discover that theirs no longer works. Lastly if you have the ability to modify files in someone's directory then you can trivially get root in other ways, such as changing their $PATH to point to a trojaned version of sudo which records the password, an ssh_agent that captures their password/keys etc. The best way of looking at the security of all this is how much would a bad guy charge to crack the systems (which would be relative to the level of difficulty and risk of getting caught). USB keyloggers are in the 10s of dollars. Fingerprints are a similar amount of money.

Heck I can even run gconf-editor as root and change then again. Despite doing all this, totem is still always run for dvd and f-spot- import for photos. I'd at least be happy being able to disable the automatic actions, and as a bonus would like to set the correct applications. I am on the verge of uninstalling the apps or symlinking their names to the programs I actually want to run.

[Bug 319533] [NEW] fdf file misrecognised as MATLAB script/function
Public bug reported: (I don't know which component of Gnome is responsible for this problem). This is in Intrepid My bank provides tax information via an FDF file. Internally it points to a PDF with named fields and supplies values for the fields. It has a text header identifying it as FDF. The file command gets things right: $ file tax.fdf tax.fdf: FDF document, version 1.2 Gnome however claims it is a "MATLAB script/function", as shown in Nautilus. What I would expect is for it to be recognised as an FDF just like file does, and hopefully to be associated with something useful. The file starts like this with the being bytes of those hex values. 8< %FDF-1.2 % 1 0 obj << /FDF << /Fields 2 0 R /F (https://personal.vanguard.com/taxForms/pdfs/TXFRM_1099DIV_1page.pdf)>> >> endobj 2 0 obj [ << /T (REGISTRATION_ADDR_1)/V (My Name)>> << /T (REGISTRATION_ADDR_2)/V (My address)>> 8< It then follows with more fields. If I rename the file to have a .pdf extension then Nautilus says the type is "PDF document" and tries to open it in "Document Viewer" (is that evince?).

Public bug reported: Binary package hint: update-manager This is on a friend's mom's computer. When running update-manager it says: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report. There are several reports of this already in bugs, generally all closed as invalid. (eg #121930, #106690, #207684, #310735. #319926). While the message may be meaningful to us technical folk, it is complete gibberish to normal users. It also neglects to mention that the command has to be run in a terminal and that it has to be prefixed by sudo (you can see the confusion in those other reports). But even then this is silly. If the software wants the issue reported then it should report it itself. And since it knows exactly what command should be run to fix things, why not just run the command automatically? And why is the situation even arising in the first place? The update system should handle it all gracefully in the first place. My best guess as to what happened is that the machine is set to automatically download and install updates. It was probably doing that when it was shutdown. ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- _cache->open() failed, please report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/320222 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It isn't really your place to decide what is acceptable security for users :-) The touchstrip used in my laptop is certainly way better than the finger sized static readers like those from Microsoft. Fingerprint authentication is also better than weak passwords, eg people using one of the twenty most common passwords. Pretty much any scheme can be broken (eg use a gun and coercion). And an encrypted home directory plus fingerprint is better than unencrypted and fingerprint.

[Bug 329199] [NEW] Slow swapin speeds after resume from disk
Public bug reported: I hibernate (suspend to disk). On resume the memory image is read back from the swap area at 70 megabytes per second. Then my applications start running and their memory comes back in from swap as well. For a large process like Firefox this takes a long time and Firefox is unresponsive until enough of its working set has been swapped back in. I can run "vmstat 1" and look at the "si" column to see how much data is being brought back from swap per second as well as "bi" to see the total number of blocks coming back in. For the vast majority of the time the numbers are identical meaning only swapped data is coming back in. The swapped data comes back in at around 4 megabytes per second - a small fraction of the 70 megabytes per second from earlier. I usually resort to running "swapoff -a ; swapon -a" which runs at 10 megabytes per second and hence gets me working processes sooner. Since I have 6GB of RAM, I would be very happy on resume from disk for swap to be pre-emptively put back into RAM at high speed. If the swapped data is being page faulted in (ie 4kb each time) then that is a really bad thing after a resume. To repeat this, leave a terminal running "vmstat 1" and run Firefox opening a bazillion tabs and then hibernate. On resume try using Firefox while watching the terminal. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: I hibernate (suspend to disk).

[Bug 113201] Re: firefox spends lots of time hung
I was fortunate enough to be on a tropical island with truly awful Internet access (some satellite, lots of latency, sharing with skype users!, periods of several minutes when DNS servers didn't respond at all according to wireshark) and no proxy server configured. When the ISP's DNS servers decided not to respond, firefox (gutsy beta as of two weeks ago) would do this hanging stuff as well. This implies that there are other places synchronous DNS lookups are being done which can also hang the interface.

[Bug 186465] Re: "distribution upgrade" hangs during update to hardy
Sadly I can reproduce this. It hangs claiming "Checking package manager". From the (attached) strace output, there is a rather desperate effort made to find a non-existent translations file all over the various sources followed by the hang. The last line in main.log is 2008-04-24 05:09:06,836 DEBUG running doUpdate() (showErrors=False) In my case I am using a squid proxy server (configured in /etc/apt/apt.conf). Based on previous work I did writing a proxy for apt for use in a development/build environment, apt is exceedingly flaky when connections don't go exactly its way. For example if a mirror/proxy closes a connection when apt doesn't want it closed then apt will return an error or hang, even though it is perfectly valid http. Completely wiping the squid cache didn't fix things nor did disabling the use of a proxy. An install on another machine a few hours ago went just fine even though it was using exactly the same proxy. ** Attachment added: "Update manager hanging when using a proxy server" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13851969/umhang -- "distribution upgrade" hangs during update to hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/186465 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Check permissions on your $HOME/.thinkfinger.bir file. Mine was owned by root and everything worked except gnome-screensaver. Changing ownership to me solved the problem. I had done the enrollment using 'sudo tf-tool --acquire' because it claimed that the USB device couldn't be claimed when run as me (a reboot seemed to make that go away). You should be able to run (as your user) 'tf-tool --verify' to check your fingerprint and if that works then everything else should just work.

[Bug 138955] (gutsy) package installation doesn't honour service settings
Public bug reported: I have the samba (folder sharing) service installed on my machine, but have it turned off in System > Administration > Services. (I only want it on in rare controlled occassions). I just did an update which caused pam to be updated which decided to restart all services using pam and in the process it restarted samba. However samba was not running at the time, nor is it enabled in the gui tool or in any /etc/rc?.d directory. Package installation should really be obeying the service settings rather than just blindly restarting everything potentially affected. Additionally it should look to see if the service is already running. If it isn't then there is no need to restart it! This affects pam upgrades and likely other packages as well. Additionally it is a minor security problem because the administrator can have deliberately disabled services yet they can still end up running. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- (gutsy) package installation doesn't honour service settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138955 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 138955] Re: (gutsy) package installation doesn't honour service settings
Yes I did, but why should I have to keep babysitting these things - they have billions of cycles per second. The upgrade script could easily have figured out that Samba wasn't running hence restarting it is pointless. And I happen to know what Samba is. In the rest of the interfaces it is presented as "Folder sharing". I don't remember the specifics but something similar happened to me with Feisty. I didn't want any network accessible services running on my laptop. I installed Battle for Wesnoth which then installed and ran a daemon not needed for single player game play. I promptly when in and disabled it. And then an upgrade happened and it was re-enabled/re- started again. This whole issue could probably be addressed by making invoke-rc.d more intelligent. For example it could not start programs that don't have /etc/rc?.d links. -- (gutsy) package installation doesn't honour service settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138955 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 138955] Re: (gutsy) package installation doesn't honour service settings
Care to explain exactly what is invalid? I explicitly told Ubuntu not
to start the Folder Sharing service. It did so when upgrading packages
anyway. I will admit that in this example it included the list of
services it intended to restart, but it certainly didn't include a
dictionary translating from geekspeak ("samba") into terminology used
elsewhere ("Folder Sharing").

[Bug 138955] Re: (gutsy) package installation doesn't honour service settings
If this is supposed to be a distro aimed at deep geeks then I have no
issue with the behaviour. But it isn't. There were two problems, both
of which can be fixed and would make the experience better. The first
is that different terminology is used ("samba" vs "Folder sharing").
The second is that I had already explicitly disabled Folder
Sharing/samba via the Ubuntu administrator tools. The pam update code
completely ignored that. The dialog says "restart" yet at least one of
the services was not running and had been disabled. I do not think it
is unrealistic for the update code to take note of my previous choices
and current state, and not include samba in the list (or anything else
that isn't running and is disabled). The goal of the restarts is to
ensure that the version of pam just removed is not used and only the
newly installed one is, and not cause "collateral damage".
In order to answer the pam upgrade dialog, I certainly do think it is
ridiculous to have to memorize every administrative action I have made
in the past, have to go and translate short names into descriptive ones
(how many people know what avahi does?), and then check to see if I
previously disabled the service, for each and every one listed.
