Description bozonius 2013-08-16 19:46:49 CEST

Description of problem:
Although the testing repo updates do allow Terminology (version 0.2.0) to run, it is spitting out trace statements as it runs.  It appears to do this for every mouse movement and keyboard click.  While this does not impair operation of the program, it might be wise to investigate why this is happening and hopefully clean up this output.

The i586 version spits out messages that seem to refer to (a bug or changeset) number 8786 in the Terminology software tracking system, whereas the x86_64 version indicates 4433, but I could not seem to get a fix on exactly what these were.  The Enlightenment project's bug numbers do not even run that high; they stop around 2000 or so it looks like, based on the widest bug search I could list.

This problem was discovered while validating 10312.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
terminology 0.2.0 for both i586 and x86_64 versions.

How reproducible:
very.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install terminology 0.2.0
2.  Invoke "terminology" from a command line window
3.  Type any key or move mouse in the terminology program window


Reproducible:

And I think this is the right thing to do as this is
an entirely different function then the original bug.

I have uploaded a patched/updated package for Mageia 3.

You can test it with the following command :
- urpmi terminology (install terminology)
- open a terminal
- run terminology from the terminal
Then check that the terminal isn't flooded with message like this :
ERR<7878>:termpty termptyesc.c:1318 _termpty_handle_seq() o

Comment 5 trem 2013-08-18 18:08:32 CEST

As the console isn't flooded with debug messages, I thin this is OK.

Comment 6 William Kenney 2013-08-18 19:00:20 CEST

What'a ya think David & bozonius

Comment 7 bozonius 2013-08-19 00:51:12 CEST

It generates output that ends up going to ... the null device?   I agree it is harmless, but it isn't "clean" and it does make work for the system that is of no use to the user.  I just wanted to point these out, but I am open to whatever you want to do with it.   I don't use Terminology anyway; it looks like a partially-completed work-in-progress not ready for primetime.

Validating. Thanks guys, and trem for the quick fix.

Advisory uploaded as..

+description: |
+If started from another terminal, Terminology would flood it with error
+messages for each character displayed such as below.
+
+ERR<7878>:termpty termptyesc.c:1318 _termpty_handle_seq() o
+
+This should not now happen.


If there is a better description please let us know.

Could sysadmin please push from 3 core/updates_testing to core/updates

Thanks!
