[Bug 1852183] Re: [X11] copy/paste (clipboard) is broken in Ubuntu 19.10 & 20.04

2020-04-28 Thread J. B. Rainsberger
For the benefit of bystanders who might be using the Clipboard Indicator
extension to Gnome, I've switched to CopyQ and been quite happy with the
results. I'll know more in the next 2-3 weeks whether this problem
persists in my environment when I complete my next expense report.

In the meantime, thanks to everyone involved in trying to diagnose and
fix this problem. I share many people's frustrations about not getting a
version of Mutter that seems to work, especially since it seems beyond
me to try to upgrade Mutter independently of the rest of the operating
system in order to evaluate the results. Coupling! :shrug:

[Bug 1242921] [NEW] totem window height depends on mp3 comment field

2013-10-21 Thread J-B Vosteen
Public bug reported:

If i play a certain mp3-file the height of the totem window can not be
adjusted below a very high value. My screen has a height of 1050px and
the totem window has at least a height of 1000px.

I consider this a bug, since the minimal height of the totem window
depends on the length of the comment field of a mp3-file.

In the attachment is the tag information for the mp3-file as reported by
exiftool. Sadly i have no idea how to write this information to
another mp3-file. If you are not able to recreate the bug with the
supplied information, i would supply the original mp3-file in private.


Some more info:

[Bug 221409] Re: Ubuntu Browse Multiple Files dialog does not recognize capital / uppercase JPG as image

2011-11-01 Thread J B
still present on ubuntu 10.04 lucid.

specs:
nautilus file browser 2.30.1   - not sure if this is used by firefox
flash 11.0.1.152

on both 
firefox 7.0.1
chromium 15.0.874.106

i thought linux didnt depend on file extensions.
(i guess it doesnt when running a file, but it does when filtering file 
displays in the file manager)

tried to replicate on xubuntu 11.10, the first time i clicked on button, filter 
is set to 'ALL FILES' and files can be seen.
(but multiple files can't be selected, when they are expected to be selectable 
holding down shift -works on windows)
only single file selectable.
clicked cancel tried again.
this time filter is set to Images and cant be changed.
No more images displayed. same problem.

All images have .JPG extension.  which is what a lot of cameras are producing.
guess workaround is rename.  but this won't be as straightforward for other 
users. 

xubuntu file manager: thunar 1.2.3  not sure if firefox uses this

same problem, only .jpg files are visible.

important because photos from different cameras produce .JPG

guess another workaround (but not as feasible :) ), ask everyone to only
use .jpg as extension.

wouldn't it be simpler to just add .JPG to the Images filter in whatever
filter the internet browsers are using?

[Bug 454301] Re: warning given about disk health due to smart not being enabled

2011-04-09 Thread J B
Nice to know that natty also works on eee 701 though. (though without
unity)

SSD manufacturer's would probably be happy to help linux developers on
this, seeing how it affects many of their users.  Having SSDs work with
ubuntu would also be a factor for buyers in choosing whether to upgrade
a system to SSD.

Is this really damaging the SSDs?  Does the message still appear for
newer SSDs?

Status on LUCID 10.04, latest updates  kernel for it:
On an EEE 701 i'm using, (512mb Ram), the message still appears after suspend / 
hibernate.  Which I guess is expected since that's when all the data from RAM 
is stored on the hard disk.

gdu-notification-daemon
A hard disk may be failing. One or more hard disks report health problems. 
Click the icon to get more information.

When you click on the icon on panel (with orange exclamation point):
4.0 GB hard disk - ATA Siliconmotion SM223AC
in red: DISK IS BEING USED OUTSIDE DESIGN PARAMETERS


But usually no message appears (aside from another one that says my battery is 
defective, which is another story).  A testament to how ubuntu / linux uses 
minimal memory to achieve it's ordinary tasks.

Ubuntu/Linux and SSD drive have been introduced to each other for a
while.  Now they just have to enjoy playing together.
