@Eliah - on the this isn't really true part on right to left, while a game manual may be written comfortably, are you telling me the greater part of design isn't thought of "traditionally" in a culture where it is an insult if you don't accept a business card with both hands?

@GeorgeEdison it's that newfangled Qt release you're using for sure ;)

FEichinger

@AbrahamVanHelpsing The thing is that they don't even have a single "B" character (Yes, I know there is an "A", sheesh), so the whole "tradition" thing makes no sense at all.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

Either way. TomAto, Tomaaato

@Seth it's dependent on DE

@AbrahamVanHelpsing Not completely is it?

Do Questions about File Conversion via software available on Ubuntu Belong here in askubuntu? For further details the question I'm contemplating asking is about converting chm files to pdf.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

@Seth :/ they could i guess. i was more looking towards xml config files.

Seth

ooh, XML configs? Know enough to add an answer :D

AbrahamVanHelpsing

it would be an openbox archwiki quote.

on your stackoverflow comment, do check the domchange answer. it is right.

@Mechanicalsnail - r u around?

Eliah Kagan

@AbrahamVanHelpsing I'm not sure I see the relevance of this to your claim that modern Japanese text is written right-to-left, which as far as I understand, is incorrect. Also, please note that I was not telling you anything; I posted a oneboxed comment written by someone else in that thread because I thought it was relevant and interesting.

Mechanical snail

@EliahKagan Vertical Japanese writing is top-to-bottom, then right-to-left.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

00:23

@EliahKagan Modern Japanese is not. We agree. I was more pointing towards a culture that clutches to tradition and years passed more than most

Seth

@AbrahamVanHelpsing Which one?

AbrahamVanHelpsing

The one where you said jQuery .on evenet

Seth

Ah that one.

Well, I'd use it, but it still requires an event.

Eliah Kagan

@AbrahamVanHelpsing Yes, it is not in any way my intention to detract from your observations about the importance of tradition in Japanese culture. But Japanese was never written right-to-left, was it? sljfaq.org/afaq/right-to-left.html

Seth

`$('body').on(someEvent , handler() {

}
);

Eliah Kagan

00:25

The pages are.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

@EliahKagan they could have stacked the AB buttons, but that would have made it atrocious to use both at the same time

Eliah Kagan

@AbrahamVanHelpsing That ...is a good point!

Seth

@EliahKagan You want this re-opened? askubuntu.com/q/255926/44179

AbrahamVanHelpsing

@EliahKagan well it wouldn't have made it atrocious if it was bottom up right left...unfortunately it was top bottom right left.

Eliah Kagan

@Seth Unless I am mistaken about the problem, yes. But please check to see if you agree it's different, first.

Mechanical snail

00:29

@AbrahamVanHelpsing See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rongorongo#Direction_of_writing

AbrahamVanHelpsing

@EliahKagan I would start by placing in a comment why {a} makes it a different problem

Mechanical snail

AbrahamVanHelpsing

Wow.

@Mechanicalsnail Did you see that launchpad bug against LP itself got closed? I checked the control file and I don't think the person that closed the bug did.

Seth

I am. FAMOUS!

sorta

Mechanical snail

@AbrahamVanHelpsing Then reopen it?

AbrahamVanHelpsing

00:33

@Mechanicalsnail I'm going to apt-mirror source repos this weekend and grep for the problem to see if I can find an exploitable instance of it. Then they'll have to not ignore it.

That whole don't bring a gun to a gunfight. bring a nuke to a knife-fight mentality

2

FEichinger

@EliahKagan Traditional Japanese is top to bottom, right to left, like Chinese, while westernized Japanese is left to right, top to bottom. Usually modern Japanese is westernized. This also applies to macro-reading direction (as in, books also start at the other end respectively).

ajmitch

@AbrahamVanHelpsing it'll get closed again, it's not a launchpad issue

AbrahamVanHelpsing

okay. so it would get closed as file it upstream?

ajmitch

an explanation was provided in the last comment on the bug, if library maintainers aren't changing package name properly on SONAME change then it's a package bug obviously

AbrahamVanHelpsing

ajmitch

00:39

however managing library transitions & rebuilds like that is still out of scope for launchpad

AbrahamVanHelpsing

they're depending on a pseudo-package. a GOOD practice imo. do check the control file

all it takes is a rebuild on pseudo-package change.

ajmitch

and that's done

AbrahamVanHelpsing

? so the original package got kicked for rebuild?

ajmitch

it's not an automatic thing because there might be API changes as well

Eliah Kagan

@AbrahamVanHelpsing I did. (This is probably what @Seth saw before asking me if I wanted it reopened.)

AbrahamVanHelpsing

00:46

@EliahKagan I've seen the {a} answered well before, but I can't find it

Seth

Yep. I rarely VT-Reopen

AbrahamVanHelpsing

@ajmitch OK. We'll have to go about this thing another way.

wgrant

@AbrahamVanHelpsing Why do you think it's a Launchpad bug? The package's dependencies are wrong -- they don't provide the files that it depends on. The fact that a rebuild fixes it doesn't make it not a package bug if the package's dependencies don't tell the packaging infrastructure that it needs a rebuild.

Seth

Errg, my edit timed out when I wasn't looking.

I meant, I rarely vote to re-open when there isn't a comment.

wgrant

@AbrahamVanHelpsing It's not Launchpad's job to trigger rebuilds in cases of broken dependencies anyway; it's a separate part of the Ubuntu archive management infrastructure. But even then it's not a bug there, since that infrastructure relies on package dependencies rather than knowing how to manual check relationships for every one of the dozens of language-specific library formats.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

00:54

I agree on part of that. It's probably not against launchpad itself, but on a component of the build system

wgrant

No. It is purely, 100%, a bug in photoprint or the library that it incorrectly depends on

I say this with both my Ubuntu developer and Launchpad developer hats on.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

It seems to me:
Depending on a pseudo-package for dev files: Good thing.
Depending on dynamically generated binary dependencies: Good thing.
That's where my logic stops. I can agree it's not against launchpad though.

Mechanical snail

@wgrant It's got to be a process bug in something in the build system when a package can end up in the archive without being tested to even run.

wgrant

@Mechanicalsnail It presumably worked when it was initially built, then libgutenprint changed and broke it.

Mechanical snail

@wgrant And it got added to the Precise archive without testing that it runs on Precise.

ajmitch

00:58

@Mechanicalsnail This is why there's work being done on automated package testing, however covering tens of thousands of packages in universe can be infeasible

wgrant

@Mechanicalsnail If it runs on oneiric then it ran on precise when it was added to precise.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

Either a) fix the build system or b) remove all meta-packages. either way solves the problem...

wgrant

Because it was added to precise about 3 hours after oneiric was released, at the same moment libgutenprint was added to precise.

There is no problem with the build system! There is a problem with one of those two packages.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

like i said. we need a grep of source repo-s to find an exploitable edition of this bug.

wgrant

Exploitable?

George Edison

00:59

Time to report a bug in Qt.

wgrant

It is a package bug. There is question about it.

no question

Why do you think it is a Launchpad or archive infrastructure bug, when multiple Ubuntu developers and a Launchpad developer have categorically told you that it is not?

AbrahamVanHelpsing

if i can leverage this evidencing somewhere else in a delay loaded library that requests root privileges expectedly then i can load an arbitrary so as root. which becomes a problem. rapidly. it's fine though. we'll go about it a different way.

wgrant

...

That's completely unrelated.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

no it's not. if a package gets "updated" and ldpath contains a directory i control that isn't root owned(possible) and i can get an so there under the old name...i have a priv esc exploit waiting to happen.

wgrant

Um

AbrahamVanHelpsing

01:03

i know. it's a lot of conditions

wgrant

If you're running a binary as root with an untrusted LD_LIBRARY_PATH then you have bigger problems.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

that's fair

wgrant

It's entirely unrelated to this bug, except that it happens to also involved dynamic shared libraries.

If you think it's related then I suggest you give up now :)

George Edison

Wow... absolutely bizarre. It works when I run it under strace. Otherwise cc1plus crashes.

This is going to be a very interesting bug report.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

Like I said. have to go about it another way.

@GeorgeEdison Good luck sir.

wgrant

01:06

It?

Another way?

@AbrahamVanHelpsing If you're trying to find a way to prove that this is a build system bug, you're going to be trying for a while. I suggest you start treating it as a package bug so it can actually get fixed.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

I'm not saying it's not a bug in the same way that porn sites and warez are responsible for malware.

I am saying that it's a problem that should be fixed by kicking the packages for build.

wgrant

Sure, rebuilding the package will fix it.

That's triggered semi-automatically when dependencies break

The problem here is that, due to a package bug, the dependencies are still satisfiable

This is probably a bug in libgutenprint

If I write a new language with a new library system and get it into Ubuntu, it's not the job of the Ubuntu archive to understand my new language's dependency system and work out when the package will no longer work

It's the job of my package's to declare the correct dependencies, so the archive can know in a language- and build system-agnostic manner whether the dependencies are satisfiable.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

It's a bug in how pseudo-packages when declared as -dev then resolved as binary dependencies are resolved.

wgrant

Which is purely libgutenprint's problem

Nothing broader than that.

(or photoprint is doing something strange)

Seth

static.mrdoob.com/projects/chromeexperiments/google-space

wgrant

01:17

If libgutenprint-dev creates a binary dependency that doesn't provide the files that applications linked against it need, then that's not an archive problem.

And that is clearly the case here.

=> not an archive problem

FEichinger

AbrahamVanHelpsing

Whatever you say. We'll see.

@FEichinger love it

wgrant

I eagerly await your alleged root exploit.

George Edison

And here is the bug.

@jrg: So it looks like I will be able to maintain my own custom cross-compiled build of Qt5 after all. For some reason, running the command that was failing under strace actually caused it to succeed (no idea why).

"Network connected" icon looks like a punk with a mullet wearing a hat

This is about the tray icon that is shown when the wired network is connected (screenshot attached) under the Oxygen icon theme (KDE default). It's supposed to be a picture of an RJ-45 ethernet connector being plugged in, which makes sense. However, it looks more like a punk with a mullet wearing a hat. The cause of the issue is that as drawn, the cable is drawn being plugged in *upside-down*, with the grooves (containing the contacts) on top. Besides being wrong, it leaves space on top in the shape of a hat. While I have nothing against mullets, the icon should be re-drawn to avoid user confusion.

I'm this close to getting a Qt app I cross-compiled to run.

It will break horribly and crash your computer and ruin your partition layout and forcibly enable that annoying bouncing lines screensaver and drain your bank account and eat your children and...

Just don't use it.

RolandiXor

At least it is not responsible for any harm to my dog.

George Edison

Makes a note to add that.
