| dvdk | hi, I just wanted to report a "debian bug" from my Devuan machine. what's the normal procedure? Are the Debian maintainers going to kill me for reporting a bug that's occuring on something other than their official Distribution? | 21:42 |
|---|---|---|
| dvdk | How do I even find out, whether the package in question (kicad and/or xorg) is an original Debian version or patched by the Devuan project? | 21:42 |
| fsmithred | dvdk, all the forked packages have "+devuan" in the version | 21:59 |
| fsmithred | reception you get from the debian dev(s) can vary. It's best if you can reproduce the bug in debian. | 22:00 |
| dvdk | fsmithred, thanks for you answer. Unfortunately I don't have any debian machine of corresponding version around any more... | 22:05 |
| dvdk | I mean I could just report the bug te the devuan bug tracke, but I guess that won't help me at all :) | 22:05 |
| fsmithred | install it in a VM | 22:05 |
| fsmithred | no, we'll tell you to push it upstream | 22:05 |
| dvdk | "install it in a VM" yes, if I had that much time, I could just compile from source and report directly to the upstream devs :) | 22:06 |
| fsmithred | check for existing bug reports | 22:07 |
| dvdk | yes, already googled for the issue, seems to be unknown. my theory is, nobody even uses kicad on linux, because it's just so broken. | 22:17 |
| hagbard_ | nah, didn't have issues with it | 22:18 |
| dvdk | hagbard_ ok, so then something must be especially wrong with my X-server or mouse or something... hmm. | 22:23 |
| hagbard_ | what's heppening? | 22:24 |
| hagbard_ | s/e/a | 22:24 |
| dvdk | kicad does this "mouse pointer warping" (XWarpPointer) on almost every operation. | 22:25 |
| dvdk | unfortunately on my system it consistently moves the mouse-cursor to the screen's border. | 22:25 |
| dvdk | this makes it practically unasabel. | 22:25 |
| dvdk | unusable | 22:25 |
| dvdk | actually it seems to warps the pointer to the right position, but as soons as I move the mouse even a single pixel, the pointer then jumps | 22:26 |
| dvdk | ahaha, tried a different mouse, now it's gone. | 22:27 |
| dvdk | how can this be related to the model of mouse I use (kensignton expert mouse). I had the same issue on an ubuntu computer, too, and the only thing that connects that ubuntu computer and my machine here, is that both are using a kensignton exper mouse. | 22:28 |
| dvdk | yes, after XWarpPointer(), move the kinsngton mouse -> cursor jumps. use another mouse concurrently connected -> mouse does not jump. | 22:29 |
| dvdk | roflasc. thanks, now it's even a very specific bug report. | 22:29 |
| hagbard_ | Sounds rather like an issue in the realm of mouse/mouse driver/X11 than something specific about kicad. | 22:30 |
