As the final release is only 6 days to go, I'd like to raise the awareness for the importance of this bug.
Without the patch above, newly indexed content in the Nepomuk repository will be corrupted - so please make sure to apply this patch!

I will apply this in Debian.

Thank you.

Did this patch make it into the release?

Nope - Debian updated their package 4 days ago but the Ubuntu package is still without it.

Is there any possibility to resolve this issue after an installation of virtuoso?

TIA,
Michael

No, that's the reason for my comment#3 - as soon as the Encoding errors made it into the semantic data, only full re-indexing helps, as there is no way for Nepomuk to determine, which data are correctly encoded and which not.

It's actually a little disappointing (although I'm no *buntu user) that the *buntu devs didn't manage to include this tiny patch which would have prevented so much possible trouble.

Elias, can you please post here how to safely initiate a reindexing of the virtuoso database?
To my understanding all user-generated information (file comments, tags etc) to get lost. But I did not generate any such information.
Thank you

@mogliii I've just forwarded this to Sebastian Trüg, the main developer behind Nepomuk. I could tell you some "brute force" ways to wipe the database, but he'll probably come up with a more elegant solution which could also be applied by the Ubuntu devs after including this patch.

I'm annoyed by this bug and to be frank I cannot understand why this patch isn't applied yet. this bug was fixed upstream in september 2011!!!

If I knew I would do it myself. is there any kubuntu packager that can do it or explain how to do this to me, please?

Nice that Rohang is taking care of this bug!

Please note about the fresh new virtuoso version 6.1.5 that just came out yesterday :)

Sorry I misspelled your name, Rohan

Version 6.1.4 does not have this bug, but has too many changes and can't be SRU'd which is why I'm going to open a new SRU bug for this and just get the patch that is attached into the archives.

Bug 958683 opened for SRU purposes, I've also uploaded a package with the fix in my PPA over here : https://launchpad.net/~rohangarg/+archive/experimental

Testing would be highly appreciated before the fix is uploaded to the archive.

Great!! Thanks a lot, very much appreciated...

Please fix this in precise first before SRUing. Thanks!

Hello Claudio, or anyone else affected,

Accepted virtuoso-opensource into oneiric-proposed. The package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

It's working perfectly here :)

This bug was fixed in the package virtuoso-opensource - 6.1.3+dfsg1-1ubuntu1.1

---------------
virtuoso-opensource (6.1.3+dfsg1-1ubuntu1.1) oneiric-proposed; urgency=low
