[Bug 11334] Re: MASTER Copy-Paste doesn't work if the source is closed before the paste
@Fred: yes, you're right, on Lubuntu I installed Parcellite and it worked fine. But, with respect, which clipboard manager to use is not the point. The point is that Ubuntu and its relatives should be providing this functionality out of the box, not requiring users to figure out what's needed themselves or requiring 100's of applications all to implement functionality independently. Perhaps some would say that this would add bloat to Ubuntu. Well, that would hardly be a first. One doesn't use Ubuntu if something really stripped down and minimal is called for, that niche is filled by plenty of other distros, not least being Debian. 300+ comments and still no real progress. What does it need to get clipboard managers included in Ubuntu? Not 'available' for the few who know, but 'included' so that everyone benefits, even the absolute beginners trying Linux for the first time? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to a duplicate bug report (36165). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/11334 Title: MASTER Copy-Paste doesn't work if the source is closed before the paste To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/abiword/+bug/11334/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 11334] Re: MASTER Copy-Paste doesn't work if the source is closed before the paste
@pander: Don't you think it's insane to suggest every one of 23 (or more likely thousands) of applications need to implement this internally, instead of a generic solution? In Ubuntu Unity I find Diodon works well, it's completely solved the problem on Unity for me. But the user has to: 1. Realise there's a problem 2. Install diodon. That too is insane. Most users will get bitten numerous times before they discover this solution, if at all. On Lubuntu, diodon installed but didn't solve the problem. I had to google and find a different app. More insanity. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to a duplicate bug report (36165). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/11334 Title: MASTER Copy-Paste doesn't work if the source is closed before the paste To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/abiword/+bug/11334/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Hello Michael, thank you, perhaps I should be pleased that someone has responded to my report. However, frankly my overwhelming reaction is that this is far too typical of how Ubuntu reports are handled. It goes like this: * a report is filed. * nothing is done about it, zip, nada, rien, not even a response. * FOUR AND A HALF YEARS OF SILENCE * "Hi, we're looking at your detailed report but we haven't made the slightest attempt to reproduce it" * 60 days pass * bug is closed, devs congratulate themselves on closing many bugs Is this really the best we can do to get the community enthused and helping one another? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/761781 Title: Gedit takes many minutes to start if there are many files in directory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/761781/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 12154] Re: Nautilus should have a superuser mode
This one has always irritated the heck out of me, because I often don't know in advance of starting Nautilus that I'm going to want to change something in a root-owned file. But I've been resigned to it because I imagined there was some insuperable difficulty in implementing it. And when my students hit this problem I get a little defensive and tell them it's not the developers' fault, it's due to the restrictions in Linux that prevent processes gaining root, which would create a security risk. I've recently switched to Crunchbang. Imagine my surprise when I found the file manager there can do what I want! The file manager is Thunar. So I googled for 'thunar privilege escalation' and found an interesting article: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntucat/file-browser-privilege- escalation-done-right/ More than 9 years since this serious usability bug was filed. Almost 7 years since that psychocats article. The wonderful thing about open source development is the speed of progress, the way that problems are fixed quickly and systems are updated.

@supersasho: Since it's (allegedly) trivial, how about you propose a patch to fix it? Or find someone else to help you create such a patch? It's open source. Whinging that unfixed bugs are trivial isn't a great way to get developers on your side.

[Bug 761781] Re: Gedit takes many minutes to start if there are many files in directory
Further info. A friend has tried to repro this, as follows: I created 70K files in a directory and gedit opens normally on Mint. The file system is ext4. If I try and browse the files in File-Open or in the File Browser in the side panel it takes it's time to populate the browser, but starting and stopping seem fine to me. I do seem to have recreated the issue with an ext3 file system. Opening a file on the ext3 file system causes gedit to run at 100% on a core for about a minute, but only after a file on the ext3 file system. Once I went back to editing files on ext4, it worked as normal. I'm using ext3. However, I would be very disappointed if this problem were 'fixed' by saying I should install ext4. For example, Kate works fine on my system with these files. (I use ext3 because some of the tools on my older live CDs don't support ext4). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/761781 Title: Gedit takes many minutes to start if there are many files in directory -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 761781] [NEW] Gedit takes many minutes to start if there are many files in directory
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gedit Gedit takes forever (many minutes) to start up if there are a lot of files in the same directory. It also takes a similar time to exit. I had about 70,000 small text files (each around 1K) in a directory. Double clicking on one in Nautilus resulted in many minutes before GEdit appeared. In contrast, other editors work instantly, e.g. nano, vim. Even Open Office opens any of these files quickly! Perhaps http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=922587page=2 post #18 has a clue to why there is this horrendous delay. I think I know why it takes so long to load: How many files/folders does the directory you are trying to load have? gedit remembers the last directory, and it could be the fact that your last used directory has a lot of files/folders to be read. It sounds as if GEdit is trying to be too clever, and whatever it's doing with the last used directory needs to be rethought. Though I don't think this is the complete explanation, because I believe this was the first time I'd tried to use GEdit in this directory.
