I have been struggling with a very strong issue after upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 (<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 16px;">Oneiric Ocelot</span>), and finally found out this is from a low level error from ubuntu - the root cause is because cp command with the switch of <i>-a </i>when copy a folder doesn't work as expected of "<i>-dR --preserve=all</i>" from cp --help.<br />
<i> #cp --help</i><br />
<i> ...</i><br />
<br />
<div style="font-style: italic;">
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.</div>
<div style="font-style: italic;">
-a, --archive same as -dR --preserve=all</div>
<div style="font-style: italic;">
--backup[=CONTROL] make a backup of each existing destination file</div>
...<br />
<br />
Under Ubuntu 11.04, when copy folders, all the attributes will be preserved with the --preserve option, but with Ubuntu 11.10, some attributes will be lost.<br />
<br />
Here is a simple test procedure.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Note: e-xiao is below to administrator group.</span><br />
1. Create a folder say test<br />
<i> #mkdir test</i><br />
<i> #ls -all</i><br />
<i> drwx<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">r</span>-<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">xr</span>-<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">x</span> 2 e-xiao e-xiao 4096 2011-12-08 23:14 test</i><br />
2. Trying to cp it with -a.<br />
<i> #cp -a test test1</i><br />
<br />
Under Ubuntu 11.10,<br />
<i> #ls -all</i><br />
<i> drwx<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">-</span>-<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">--</span>-<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">-</span> 2 e-xiao e-xiao 4096 2011-12-08 23:14 test1</i><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Yes, with the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">--preserve=all </span>option, you are still losing all attributes not owned by owner.</div>
<div>
Not sure if this is from any policy changes from ubuntu, I tried to google the web, but yet found any useful information so far :(</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>[Workaround]</b></div>
<div>
1. Use "--backup -R" options</div>
<div>
2. Use "-dR" only without "--preserve" option</div>

Long time, I could not find a good PDF viewer which can enable me to view Japanese/Chinese PDF files under ubuntu - with some files they may works, but mostly they will not - either display garbles or display nothing at all.<br />
evince can display the file all the blank...<br />
Adobe Reader is always telling you that you need to install Asian Font Package, but after many times challenge, I gave up, I installed the font package again and again, but never succeed ...<br />
Foxit Reader is good after doing some settings in font mapping from preference menu, however the display is not perfect as expected.<br />
<br />
Finally, I found okular + poppler-data is the perfect solution. It at least displays one of my important file perfectly.<br />
<br />
Try following, and that's all!<br />

<div style="font-family: inherit;">
Yesterday, I un-installed the long time not used Byobu. I couldn't even image that this could be the reason of why I could not login to Ubuntu 11.10 today.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
I tried many times to login as usually, however, every time, the login was aborted and the screen came back to the login screen user account list again and again.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
I tried to login with my root account - fortunately, I created the root user account. When checking the file <span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">.xsession-errors</span> under my user account home folder, it sounds the trouble is caused by a line in <span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">~/.profile</span>.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<pre><code>~/.profile line 75: .: filename argument required
.: usage: . filename [arguments]</code></pre>
<pre><code> </code></pre>
<pre><code><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">In the<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> ~/.profile </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"></span></code><code><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">line 75, the command is as following.</span></code><code>

<pre><code>
</code></pre>
<br />
After I deleted the line, I could login as usual again.<br />It was too bad that un-install the Byobu could lead to this big trouble. It sounds for some reasons, the un-install of byobu doesn't clean up this line in the <span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">~/.profile </span>file!</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068799947768985881.post-72108735897942099852011-10-19T01:08:00.006+09:002011-10-19T01:34:15.790+09:00Fix the dependency error for mozc under ubuntu 11.10When build mozc revision 74 Debian package under ubuntu 11.10, got the dependency error for libibus-dev.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: libibus-dev</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >dpkg-buildpackage: warning: Build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting.</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >dpkg-buildpackage: warning: (Use -d flag to override.)</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >debuild: fatal error at line 1348:</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -D -us -uc -b failed</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span><br />This is because there is no libibus-dev package now in ubuntu 11.10.
