Launchpad supports tracking a bug affecting multiple packages/projects,
including tracking state and unique fixes for each of them. I don't see
why Unity3D could not be tagged as affected if it indeed is.

[Bug 388547] Re: Volume keys don't work inside a full-screen game

2012-10-09 Thread Ben Shadwick
Leonardo: That's a good idea, but it would never work due to the fact
that the entire issue here is that Ubuntu allows apps to take control of
the entire keyboard.

No special key combinations or multimedia keys are serviced by the
window manager when full-screen games are running, so the only key
combinations that work are those serviced by the OS and maybe the
session manager.

The real fix is to mimic the behavior of other OSes in not allowing
full-screen applications to completely override the window manager's
keyboard handler. Unfortunately this is an X.Org issue, and they're
probably never going to fix it because they just don't understand why
they should have to.

Ubuntu will never be taken seriously as a desktop gaming platform until
this is resolved. Maybe Valve will fix it for them as part of trying to
make Ubuntu into a Steam platform :)

[Bug 160311] Re: Resizing windows by grabbing window borders is difficult

2012-07-17 Thread Ben Shadwick
** Description changed:

  *
-  No more comments needed 
  
  This should mostly be fixed for Natty and might get backported to
  earlier releases as well.
  
  For Precise (12.04)  this is again broken for unity-2d (as of 17.7.2012 
unity-2d 5.12.0-0ubuntu1.1).
  Note that if the window has a scrollbar, you can grab that to resize the 
window. If not, you are stuck with the 1px border. Workaround: NONE KNOWN (see 
comment 320)?
  
  *
  
  *Blueprint for Natty, Ubuntu 11.04:
  
  https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/packageselection-dx-n
  -resizing-windows
  
  Work items1 * Make sure the new resize grip fits in current applications; 
doesn't interfere with anything. We should make some noise about this during 
the Natty cycle so people keep their eyes open and file bugs.
  2 * Invisible window resize area - around 3px invisible area to allow resize 
on all sides.
  
  *
  
  Working grip backported to gtk2 already available in ppa :
  https://launchpad.net/~bratsche/+archive/gtk
  
  *
  
  Workaround:  Edit /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/metacity-1/metacity-
  theme-1.xml.  Set the following values in frame_geometry_normal as
  desired:
  
  distance name=left_width value=3/
  distance name=right_width value=3/
  distance name=bottom_height value=3/
  
  
  
  Binary package hint: metacity
  
  - The issue has been an issue for users (especially of large) screens
  for several releases- Trackpad users seem to be particularly impacted by
  this- The issue appears to have been significantly aggravated in Lucid
  by changing the border width from 3 pixels to 1 pixel
  
  The window borders in metacity are far too thin to be used for
  comfortable window resizing, and resize handles are not available in all
  applications (or even most). In fact, of all the windows I have open
  right now, not a single one of them has a resize handle. The result is
  that I get a lot of misses when I try to drag a window border, which
  usually results in my clicking on the wrong window altogether. The best
  fix for this usability bug is to create an invisible region around
  each non-maximized window about 4px thick that can be used for resizing
  (in addition to the visible border). Or perhaps there should be a border
  thickness option on the System  Preferences  Windows dialog (although
  the default thickness should still be increased considerably). Ideally
  all windows would also have a resize handle but I realize that these
  have to be application controlled (at least that seems to be the
  position of the metacity team).

I guess the work done here https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec
/packageselection-dx-n-resizing-windows was not ported to Unity?

It's sad that this basic usability bug affecting all users is over 4
years old, and people just keep trotting out workarounds.

Fortunately, the problem is not nearly as pronounced in Xubuntu.

This issue still exists in Xubuntu 11.10 (and presumably Ubuntu 11.10).
Unfortunately, gizmod is no longer an easy solution because it was
dropped from the Ubuntu 11.10 repositories due to the fact that it no

[Bug 41994] Re: closed Laptop Lid to reliably keep Backlight off

2011-10-13 Thread Ben Shadwick
I can't believe this is another 5+ year old bug that is still
unresolved. I am experiencing this issue on Ubuntu/Xubuntu 11.04. The
problem is that somehow dpms calls are being made to turn the backlight
back on when a mouse event occurs, even though the lid is still shut.

I ran into some difficulty because the Ubuntu acpi-support scripts don't
run if they detect a desktop (gnome/kde/xfce/etc) power-manager app
running. It's a pain to have to kill those, because I lose all GUI-based
power management (battery indicator, etc.) on my laptop. However, I got
so fed up with this issue that I felt it was worth it to block the
power-manager app so that acpid could run the show.

In the end, the best solution I could find was to run lid.sh on a
1-minute recurring cron job. This forces the backlight off when the lid
is closed and on when it's open. Not a very elegant solution, but at
least I won't have to worry about burning out my laptop's monitor any
more.

Also vbetool did not work for me. Specifically, it was able to turn off
the backlight, but was not able to turn it back on. After using vbetool
to turn off the backlight, I had to switch to a text console and back to
get the backlight to come back on!

[Bug 221363] Re: Policy Kit Unlock Buttons Greyed Out when using NX / VNC / LTSP

2011-09-12 Thread Ben Shadwick
I'm unsure as well, and given the fact that my gdm bug report is still
listed as UNCONFIRMED after 4+ months, so I'm not too
motivated/encouraged at this point to perform the legwork necessary to
report this issue everywhere.

It also doesn't do a single thing to prevent future developers from
making the same mistake.

Like Derek, I also wonder if allow_active is *ever* appropriate to be
used in favor of allow_any (at least by default). I did a search-and-
replace on all files in that directory at one point, but I'm pretty sure
that my changes have been slowly regressing as updated versions of the
affected components are installed on my system.

georgehu: It's actually currently a per-theme setting in the theme
definition files, and there are some themes that are set to provide
thicker grab bars than others. In my personal opinion it should be a
theme-independent setting that is configurable by end-users via a GUI
control.

Alden: I agree 100%, and this is why I think it should be something that
can be easily controlled by the end-user rather than dictated by the
particular theme. It's a usability issue, not an aesthetic one.

It would be nice to see some discussion of a theme-independent solution
to this issue. Expecting end-users to edit per-theme configuration files
is a non-ideal solution at best. This is a huge ease-of-use issue for me
and many others: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/2571/

[Bug 538773] Re: Please remove python-gtkhtml2 from package dependencies

2010-04-30 Thread Ben Shadwick
gnochm cannot be installed from the Ubuntu 10.04 package manager. I get
the following error:

gnochm:
 Depends: python-gtkhtml2  but it is not installable

Why is there a package in the repository that can't be installed? Is
there a workaround?

[Bug 289728] Re: Monitor Doesn't Turn off With Power Management (Intrepid, Jaunty, karmic)

2010-04-14 Thread Ben Shadwick
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 436816 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/436816

Karmic 9.10 is not able to properly turn off the monitor either on my
laptop nor my desktop. I used an ACPI script to turn off my laptop
monitor when the lid is closed, but with the lid open it still shows the
screen saver forever.

On my desktop, the monitor goes blank but the backlight is still
visible. It powers down properly on Windows XP, though, so it definitely
seems like some kind of ACPI/DPMS issue in Karmic.
