Summary: Changes not saved to personal commentary

Initial Comment:
I am running bibletime 1.5 on fully patched Fedora Core
4 for X86_64.  I find that if I have my personal
commentary opened for editing in plain text and
synchronized with my bible and I try to edit an
existing personal commentary, the changes are not
saved.  I click in the personal commentary text edit
windows, change text, click on the save icon, move to a
different verse, return to the original verse and the
changes are not there.

Thanks - John

I've attached a bz2 tarfile of my personal commentary. 
Thanks - John

Hi John. Can you perhaps zip up the module and send it to Gabriel for debugging? Perhaps also Sword has problems with handling such an amount of comments, which it should not have?

God bless,

mg

I've made the suggested chown and chmod changes but I still
have the same results.  Thanks - John

No problem.  The output of ls -ld
/usr/local/share/sword/modules/comments/rawfiles/personal/*
is quite long.  Here is a section:

Yep.  No argument here.  :-)  Regarding the 'open
contradiction' -- you never know who's going to be offended
by what.

If possible, could you post the output of:
$ ls -ld
/usr/local/share/sword/modules/comments/rawfiles/personal/*
(I meant to post that one earlier)

IIRC, Fedora makes a group for each user.  Perhaps, as root,
try both of these:

# chown -R jsullivan:jsullivan
/usr/local/share/sword/modules/comments/rawfiles/personal
# chmod -R u+rw,g+rw
/usr/local/share/sword/modules/comments/rawfiles/personal

Then give it a try.

Note that I (personally) have not ruled out a BibleTime bug
(or even a Sword bug).  However, I can only recreate the
behavior by either manually manipulating file permissions,
or setting my umask to something like 222.

Oh yes:  THANKS for all your help on this bug.  I really
appreaciate it, and I know Martin and Joachim do, too.

Peace,
Gabriel

Hmm . . .I just changed ownership on the entire sword
directory and all subdirectories to jsullivan (the user):
chown -R jsullivan /usr/local/share/sword  (done as root).

I still have the same problem :(

No problem.  I wouldn't even mind the open contradiction :)
 My question was really more to learn than to argue.  If no
one else is experiencing the problem, I can simply change
ownership of everything; there's really no need for a shared
set up on this computer.

Here is the output of the commands you sent.  Thank you:

[jsullivan at jaspav ~]$ umask -S
u=rwx,g=rwx,o=rx
[jsullivan at jaspav ~]$ grep jsullivan /etc/passwd
jsullivan:x:501:500:John A. Sullivan

It is indeed possible for you to create a file, fill it with
data, and then be unable to edit it.  

Here's an example of how this could happen:
$ /bin/bash
$ umask -S
u=rwx,g=rwx,o=rx
$ mkdir foo
$ ls -ld foo
drwxrwxr-x 2 gabriel parents 4096 2006-03-25 14:36 foo
$ umask a-w && umask -S
u=rx,g=rx,o=rx
$ echo "hello, world." > hello.txt
habs: hello.txt: Permission denied
$ emacs foo.txt
$ cat foo.txt
Lala.
$ echo "cat foo" >> foo.txt
bash: foo.txt: Permission denied
$ ls -l
-r--r--r-- 1 gabriel parents 6 2006-03-25 14:39 foo.txt
-r--r--r-- 1 gabriel parents 0 2006-03-25 14:38 hello.txt
$ exit
$

Do you see?  With emacs, I could create and write a file but
then be unable to edit it.  However, you can't do the same
with a file redirection because it creates the file and then
tries to manipulate it.  I was unable to edit the contents
of foo.txt because I didn't have write permission.  I didn't
have write permission because of the umask setting (see 'man
bash').

To sum up, I can't reproduce your bug, and AFAIK nobody else
has either.  On the other hand, BibleTime does not check for
write permission before writing -- and it does not warn you
if there's a failure.  This is not good at all, so I've
improved that part of it.  

Still, it's *likely* that it's a local configuration issue
(and not a bug).  However, you've checked the permissions,
and they are 'in tact.'  Even so, I still suspect it's a
permissions issue -- possibly a umask issue.  The umask is
set up when you login (/etc/profile and ~/.bashrc).  Trying
this patch would give some insight into the problem without
running the risk of contradicting you openly.  (Reason:  the
relationship is more important than the bug.)

So, in consideration of your backlog, it might be simpler to
be more direct...

Would you please post the following commands -- as the user
who is having the problem.  If you 'su' to the user, be sure
to do 'su -' and not just 'su'.

$ umask -S
$ grep $(echo $(who am i | sed 's/ .*//')) /etc/passwd
  (or 'grep USERNAME /etc/passwd')
$ ls -lnd /usr/local/share/sword/modules/comments/rawfiles
$ ls -lnd /usr/local/share/sword/modules/comments/rawfiles/*

Thanks,
Gabriel

OK - thanks.  Unfortunately, I'm backlogged with projects
right now and so probably cannot get to it for at least two
weeks but I am eager to assist in resolving the problem.

I'm still a little unclear given the explanations below of
why I can write once to the personal commentary and the
comments are indeed saved - at least they appear after
reopening the application - but I cannot edit the same
comments that I could sucessfully write the first time.

Thanks again - John

CVS HEAD now checks for isWritable() on the module before
trying to save any changes.  It issues an error if the
module can not be written to.  However, the sword library
does not appear to respond to dynamic changes in the file
permissions.    It assumes that once the files are opened,
the permissions are not changed.

John, if you could check out the source and try it, then it
would give us some insight into the bug.  If you prefer, I
can provide a patch for 1.5.2.

FYI, I'm still tracking down the endless loop issue. 
Somehow the (Previous|Next)(Chapter|Book|Verse) signal is
being duplicated when using the keychooser widget.  Note
that (barring DCOP) there isn't really another way to get
the error.  As soon as you click from the commentary to the
bible window, you get the "Save Changes" dialog even though
the key isn't really changing.  So, Ctrl+X (or the like)
will not create this bug because they don't apply to a
*writer* window, but *reader* windows.

This needs to be fixed for 1.6.
Thanks for all work so far, gentlemen!

I believe I compiled from source.  I also gave the local
user permissions to the personal commentary directory when I
installed it.  I have just checked and the permissions are
still intact.  I would think that if the permissions were
lacking, I could not create the comment in the first place.
 The problem is not creating a comment; that works fine. The
problem is editing a comment previously created by the same
user.  Thanks - John

More info in the endless loop:

It appears that the whatever calls the
(book|chapter|verse)PrevRequested() slots is being handled
multiple times:

1. If you press the button to get "Previous Chapter," you
will repeatedly get the previous chapter.  Likewise for
verse and book.

2. There are two (2) KMessageBoxes popping up.

I don't yet know why.  Perhaps it has to do with
synchronized display, the even loop started by the
KMessageBox, or possibly a timer that is being set somewhere
(there's an autoRepeatTimeout in the backtrace).  The loop
doesn't trigger until you say "Yes" or "No" to the
KMessageBox.  (Either "Yes" or "No" results the same.)

Here's a backtrace, after the 2nd KMessageBox has popped up.
 Notice that it's huge, and there are four (4)
'beforeKeyChange()' methods being called... two of which
make direct calls to the KMessageBox.

It's unlikely that you will have write permission to any
files stored in /usr/local/share.  This is why your changes
are not saved -- and BibleTime doesn't warn you that you
don't have write permission.  A similar thing happens if you
try to remove modules from /usr/local/share.  It will fail,
but it won't notify you of the failure.

Two workarounds:
1. (Recommended) UNINSTALL the personal commentary from
/usr/local/share/sword.  Then use the BibleTime bookshelf
manager (Settings | Bookshelf Manager) to reinstall it in
your user directory (i.e. ~/.sword).

2. (Not recommended) Change the permissions of the personal
commentary directory so that you have write access.  E.g.

# chgrp -R mygroup
/usr/local/share/sword/modules/comments/rawfiles/personal
# chmod -R g+w
/usr/local/share/sword/modules/comments/rawfiles/personal

How did this commentary get installed under /usr, anyway? 
YUM?  An RPM?

Peace,
Gabriel

Thank you.  I did encounter the error you produce which is
why I always save before navigating away.

I am running Bibletime 1.5.2.  I believe I am using Sword
1.5.8.  The personal commentary appears to be in
/usr/local/share/sword/modules/comments/rawfiles

John,

Would you please give the exact version of BibleTime
('bibletime --version'), and if possible the exact version
of Sword (maybe try 'rpm -qa sword').  Also, do you know
where your personal commentary is stored?  (i.e. in ~/.sword
or /usr/share/sword)

Here's what I've been able to reproduce:
CVS HEAD: Editing verse, saving, navigating away, and coming
back works fine.  However, editing then navigating away
brings up a 'save changes?' dialog.  This dialog puts the
application in an endless loop of changing the current verse
displayed.  The dialog remains.  After closing the dialog
and bibletime, and reopening the verse comments are saved
with the wrong verse (saved with the verse that you were
navigating *to*).

1.5.3: Same as CVS HEAD.

However, I can not recreate the issue that you've posted.

Peace,
Gabriel
