Guidance for reporting bug upstream [kbd]

You can skip the background if you wish.
Background: We, Brazilians, use a different keyboard from the us one. It's basically a qwerty with some ponctuation keys in other places and some keys more. Things have worked fine until a black day, when some notebook manufacturers decided that have a key with / ? and ° was a waste of space and these characters should be placed at alt gr + { q, w, e} (some others use alt gr + e with the euro symbol and place ° somewhere else).
At graphical environments it's not a big hassle, these keys work as they should after the keyboard layout is set, the problem is at the console, where they won't work by default. There are workarounds (cd .. down to / and use tab-completion) but they're ugly. The solution is simple, just add some lines to a text file, but there's the...
Problem: The file that needs to be updated is owned by kbd:
pacman -Qo /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/br-abnt2.map.gz
/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/br-abnt2.map.gz is owned by kbd 1.14.1.20080309-2
but the url in the kbd package description is a ftp:
pacman -Qi kbd | grep '^URL'
URL : ftp://ftp.altlinux.org/pub/people/legion/kbd/
so I don't have the slightest of how report the bug upstream and send a patch.
Any thoughts?
TIA

FWIW, I think relying on package maintainers of a specific distro is unfair for those maintainers. They are already responsible for tracking the statuses of A LOT of packages and updating/patching them as necessary. If they were to go through every single bug reported and forward the relevant ones upstream, it would simply be overwhelming.
Newbie-oriented distros like Ubuntu might have people that simply track user reported bugs. But for Arch, the situation is actually better since most users are proficient enough in Linux so they are more than capable of reporting a bug upstream

That'll send you to the same webpage for feedback
submission!
Hi James I'm glad that you are ok. And thank you for the hint about the bug reports on iWeb menu. It makes a lot of sense putting it there; I just never noticed it.

[svn:fx-trunk] 12294: * Fix for error reporting bug.

Revision: 12294
Revision: 12294
Author:   [email protected]
Date:     2009-11-30 13:25:28 -0800 (Mon, 30 Nov 2009)
Log Message:
Fix for error reporting bug. The bug was caused by a warning being
reported during one compilation and then an error being reported in
a following compilation. Due to the warning, the Source's logger
was disconnected instead of being nulled out during the first
compilation. Then in the second compilation, we weren't reassigning
the logger, so the disconnected logger was being left in place. As
a result, it was throwing off expected error counts and caused an
assert to fire.
QE notes: There is probably an easier way to reproduce the assertion
          that George hit without having to create multiple projects
          and without having to manually copy SWC's around. I didn't
          realize this until I had a fix, though. One key aspect that
          George didn't note and might not have realized, is that the
          variable needs to cause a warning, so leaving off a
          namespace works, but making it public, private, etc doesn't.

What is the correct channel for submitting bug reports on nightly builds?

I am using the nightly build channel of Firefox. I would love to help with development by sharing my experiences. Unfortunately, I can't figure out where I'm supposed to report bugs. The "Firefox made me sad" form is completely worthless because of the character limit. Is there something else, that actually gives me room to explain the problem?

You can also discuss problems with Firefox 13 Nightly builds at the MozillaZine Builds forum.
You need to register on the mozillaZine forum site in order to post at that forum.<br />

Crystal Report Viewer Credential Prompt for Report with Dynamic Parameters

The .NET Crystal Report Viewer is prompting for database credentials when launching a report containing dynamic parameters. This only occurs for reports created with SAP Crystal Reports 2011 designer. Reports created with Crystal Reports XI designer (where dynamic parameters were first introduced) work correctly.
The credential prompt window contains the following fields:
- Server Name: <server name> (disabled)
- Database Name: <database name> (disabled)
- User Name: <empty> (enabled)
- Password: <empty> (enabled)
- Use Single Signon Key: false (disabled)
The values in the prompt window which are disabled are the database connection values used during the design of the report in the SAP Crystal Reports 2011 designer.
Expected Result:
- No prompt for database credentials.
- Values read from the database should be populated in a drop down for the dynamic parameters.
Environment:
- Visual Studio 2010 (C#)
- Windows 7 Enterprise
- SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Framework 4
- SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio 2010
- SAP Crystal Reports 2011
The database connection is being set to use a DSN. It must be a DSN as the calling application is only aware of the DSN/Username/Password values. These values are being passed to the Crystal Report Viewer contained in a Windows form.
The database connection for the report is being set as follows:
foreach (InternalConnectionInfo internalConnectionInfo in this.report.DataSourceConnections)
    // Must set the UseDSNProperties flag to True before setting the database connection otherwise the connection does not work
    if (internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.ContainsKey("UseDSNProperties"))
        internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.Set("UseDSNProperties", true);
    // Supposed to set the database connection for all objects in the report (ie. main report, tables, sub reports)
    internalConnectionInfo.SetConnection(this.DSN, string.Empty, this.LoginName, this.Password);
The SetConnection method's signature is as follows:
   SetConnection(string server, string database, string name, string password)
As you can see from the code snippet above I am setting the DSN name as the server parameter, blank for the database parameter (a database connection using DSN should only require DSN name/Username/Password) and the database username and password respectively.
Is this a SAP bug?
Is this the correct way of setting the database connection to use a DSN?
Is there some other properties that need to be set somewhere else in the report through code?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the pointer to the database connection code generator. After taking a look at the output from the tool I was able to finally get the dynamic parameters to load and populate properly without prompting for credentials. I needed to tweak the outputted code a bit to match my requirements of using a DSN only connection.
Instead of updating the database connection properties contained within the Report.Database.Tables collection from the CrystalReports.Engine namespace, I changed it to replace the database connection properties in the Report.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.Database.Tables collection from the CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel namespace. For one reason or another, using the RAS namespace solved the problem.
Below is the updated code with the change made:
using RAPTable = CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table;
foreach (InternalConnectionInfo internalConnectionInfo in this.report.DataSourceConnections)
    // Must set the UseDSNProperties flag to True before setting the database connection
    if (internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.ContainsKey("UseDSNProperties"))
        internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.Set("UseDSNProperties", true);
    // Sets the database connection for all objects in the report (ie. main report, tables, sub reports)
    internalConnectionInfo.SetConnection(this.DSN, string.Empty, this.LoginName, this.Password);
// The attributes for the QE_LogonProperties which is part of the main property bag
PropertyBag innerPropertyBag = new PropertyBag();
innerPropertyBag.Add("DSN", this.DSN);
innerPropertyBag.Add("UserID", this.LoginName);
innerPropertyBag.Add("Password", this.Password);
innerPropertyBag.Add("UseDSNProperties", "true");
// The attributes collection of the tables ConnectionInfo object
PropertyBag mainPropertyBag = new PropertyBag();
mainPropertyBag.Add("Database DLL", "crdb_ado.dll");
mainPropertyBag.Add("QE_DatabaseType", "OLE DB (ADO)");
mainPropertyBag.Add("QE_LogonProperties", innerPropertyBag);
// Pass the database properties to a connection info object
ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
connectionInfo.Attributes = mainPropertyBag;
connectionInfo.Kind = CrConnectionInfoKindEnum.crConnectionInfoKindCRQE;
connectionInfo.UserName = this.LoginName;
connectionInfo.Password = this.Password;
// Replace the database connection properties of each table in the report
foreach (RAPTable oldTable in this.report.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.Database.Tables)
    RAPTable table = new RAPTable();
    table.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
    table.Name = oldTable.Name;
    table.QualifiedName = oldTable.QualifiedName;
    table.Alias = oldTable.Alias;
    this.report.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.SetTableLocation(oldTable, table);
this.report.VerifyDatabase();
Thanks again Ludek for the help.

Is this Oracle Reports bug – "break order property" in "group above" report

Is this Oracle Reports bug – “break order property” in "group above" report
Could anybody confirm that in "group above" report, we could only order the brake column's values with ""none" or "ascending" or "descending" provided by "break order property"?
In the following example, “Dept” is brake column. Oracle Reports allows us to order values in “Dept” with “descending” provided by “break order property”:
Dept 30
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
Dept 20
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
Dept 10
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
or “ascending” provided by “break order property”:
Dept 10
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
Dept 20
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
Dept 30
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
I need to do:
Dept 20
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
Dept 10
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
Dept 30
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
Could I do this? Could anybody confirm that we could never ever do this, or If yes, how?
Millions of thanks for advice.
M.Z.

Why should that be a bug? You have a custom requirement and have to find a way to fulfill it. But, what is your actual sorting order? Do you have only this three departments? If so, you could add an addtional column in your query like
DECODE(DEPT, 20, 1, 10, 2, 30, 3, 4) SORTINGput that column in the same group as dept and sort after that new column.

Is There an Easy Way to Report Bugs on the iPhone from the iPhone?

An iPhone bug can be reported through the Apple website, although not immediately obvious. (Click on Contact Us/Product Feedback [oddly placed in the "website feedback" box lower right]/iPhone [image]/Bug Report [in pulldown menu for "Feedback Type"].)
But is there anyway to easily report a bug on the iPhone itself? Sometimes, when a program crashes on my iMac, I am automatically offered the option of sending a bug report [with details inserted by the computer primarily, not me] to Apple. I don't recall seeing this happen on the iPhone, even though apps have suddenly reverted back to the main App icon catalogue (which seems to me like a crash) and other mysterious things have happened from time to time. I know that I could try to file a bug report by going into the Apple website on the iPhone, but that is awkward, slow, and undesirable. Does Apple have a "bug reporting" app?
I have ideas about the way I think Apple should make all bug reporting easier, more informative, and more transparent, but as I understand the Apple discussions policy, I am not supposed to use discussions to suggest new approaches.
The immediate reason I ask this topic's question is that my wife, who has the same iPhone 3G model as I have, upgraded to IOS 4.1 and has problems with her calendar and photos (to which we have found ungainly temporary fixes that have to be used each time the app is opened). So far, I have deferred upgrading to avoid these problems (and others which have been reported in assorted discussion threads). But when the problems occurred, I had to search for some enlightment as to whether the problems were unique, if not what fixes were available, and if Apple had issued a patch or revised IOS (as far as I know, they have not) -- on my iMac (in the discussions because I found nothing relevant elsewhere on the Apple site). I suddenly realized that I did not know how to realistically report a bug without a computer.
PS - Has anyone noticed that there is no Discussions category for iPhone IOS?

Good idea. I've already used the feedback for my general suggestions to improve the way Apple handles bug reports (and tried sending it to Steve Jobs too), but I'll send a specific suggestion for a bug app on the iPhone.
However, my question is whether there is a simple way to send bug reports from the iPhone now that I have overlooked.

[svn:fx-trunk] 10898: Fix for a bug: After playing a hide effect, a window wouldn't be visible again.

Fix for a bug: After playing a hide effect, a window wouldn't be visible again.
The issue here is that all effects that occur because of HIDE end up calling setVisible() (see EffectManager.effectEndHandler). Window/WindowedApplication was basically left with two concepts of setVisible...the displayObject one and the native application one, and they were out of synch. So setting visible=true on the window wasn?\226?\128?\153t calling setVisible(true) which controls the display object visibility. Now instead of doing our work in the visible setter, we override setVisible() and do it in there.

I run Suse 9.1 Linux, and Suse has a package called lmsensors which by default on my machine gives readings like this:
Code: [Select]
temp1: +27°C (high = +0°C, hyst = +22°C) sensor = thermistor
temp2: +41.0°C (high = +80°C, hyst = +75°C) sensor = PII/Celeron diode
Now that 41C is pretty high for an idle AMD643000+ running at 1000Mhz, 1.08V. Too high, I would say. temp 1 in this case is the SYS temp, temp2 is the CPU temp.
Now, using lmsensors I can duplicate your little trick and tell it that temp 2 is in fact a 3904 transistor. Having done this can I get readings like this:
Code: [Select]
temp1: +27°C (high = +0°C, hyst = +22°C) sensor = thermistor
temp2: +16.0°C (high = +80°C, hyst = +75°C) sensor = 3904 transistor
Problem is, I'm not sure that the sensor is actually a 3904 transistor! The number's lower, but I was pretty sure that the sensor in the AMD64 is in fact a diode. Also, surely the CPU temp can't actually be that much lower than the SYS temp.
So, I think your fix succeeds in giving lower temps and that's great in that it will tell your system software that the CPU is not overheating, but I don't think it's the solution to high temp reporting. Anyway, as you say, its a solution for people who can't run with system shutdowns due to bogus high temps.
I've been looking at these temp issues with the MSI K8T, and I was thinking the problem was simply a miscalibration. The Winbond sensor chip on my board (maybe the K8N is the same, maybe not) has a sensor temp offset that gets added to the temp coming from the sensor. On the K8T this number is +54C. Funny number I know, but I've "fixed" the problem while I wait for a real bios fix on the K8T by simply reducing this offset to give me a CPU temp that matches SYS temp when idle. This enables cool'n'quiet fan control to work properly on my system, which is my main practical concern.

Reporting bugs in oracle products

Is there a webpage whre I can report bugs in oracle
products.
Thanks,
Artur...

The only place I'm aware of short of calling Oracle is metalink.oracle.com but you have to have paid for Oracle support to access
the web site. From there you can file a TAR(Technical Assistance Request) and a support person will research your problem and
either find an existing fix or classify it as a new bug.

Dynamic query table for report based on LOV selected

Hi,
Need some suggestion and guidance how to dynamically query table via lov for report .
Scenario:
Table, TABLE_LIST, has tablename (table in DB) and filter (for where clause) column. The TABLENAME_LOVE is derived from table TABLE_LIST.
SELECT TABLENAME D, TABLENAME R FROM TABLE_LIST
In Page 2,a page select list item,P2_TABLENAME to use TABLENAME_LOV
All data in tables in the table_list have identical structure (columns, triggers, primary key, and so on).
I want to have the report region query from the table based on selected LOV.
Example,
Tablename Filter
TB1
CD2 ACTIVE='Y'
When select TB1, the report regin will query based on TB1.
When select CD2, the report regin will query based on CD2 WHERE ACTIVE='Y'
Question:
How can I query based on &P2_TABLENAME. WHERE &P2_FILTER.
Like
select col1, col2 from &P2_TABLENAME WHERE &P2FILTER
Greatly appreciate any suggestion and some guidance.
Tigerwapa

Hi,
You should always post your Apex version, DB version and other information as suggested in the FAQ.
And the moment you talk report you should state whether it is IR or Classic.
As for your query, have you explored the Report type "SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query)" ?
That might be a good fit for what you are trying to achieve.
Regards,

Where do we report bugs?

We're all excited about the development of Flash Catalyst. It would be great if we could report bugs to help Adobe improve the quality and stability of the product.
Here are some ideas:
Create one thread for reporting all bugs, keep it at the top of the list.
Create a template for bug reporting, e.g.
Summary -- what happened
Steps to Reproduce -- what do you think caused the issue
Workaround -- tips for getting around this problem until it's fixed
Description -- error messages, etc., perhaps screenshots
Version/Build -- version number in which the issue was found
Adobe Forum Admins, please give us a bit more structure so we can provide you with more valuable feedback.Thanks.

Report Bugs

so... Report Bugs for Photoshop has now been migrated to Photoshop.com? All they have is a "problem" comment box. Is that the only place to log a bug?

Philip is definately correct that you have to be careful drawing conclusions.
We know that these things are not ignored, but exactly what happens and how it works varies from product to product (they are read by member(s) of the product management team for the products; for InDesign, e.g., it's Chris Kitchener, according to InDesign Secrets podcast #151's interview with Douglas Waterfall). Some product teams may have more resources than others, or use this feature differently. I've heard it said that some other teams envy the Photoshop team's external engagement, for instance.
But just because a bug you reported is fixed doesn't mean your bug report was necessarily heeded -- it may have been independently reported or it may have been fixed for other reasons.
I think Noel's conclusion is probably incorrect. That the buggy behavior changed from a crash to being unusable is most likely an unrelated side effect of some other change. No self-respecting developer would intentionally "address" a bug by changing it from a crash to unusability; though I suppose they might have been aware that it was a side effect of some other change and lacked the resources (time, etc.) to apply a more proper fix.
Anyhow, I certainly don't want to discourage anyone from filling out the wishform. But I do think it is always better to log bug reports through Adobe Support and get a bug number. It is no worse than the wishform, that's for sure, and my impression is that it's likely quite a bit better.
The link in the Dreamweaver forum indeed goes to the wishform.
