On that front, even though gnome-screensaver is the default installed
package, since xscreensaver is an officially supported package (because
it has the Ubuntu logo next to in Synaptic, yes?), should you also test
against xscreensaver?

Erm, I'm new to this aspect.

1. Is it still building?  That link doesn't seem to work for me.
2. Do I need to be running Natty?  I'm currently running Maverick.

[Bug 675603] [NEW] rhythmbox crash when opening .pls file from command line

2010-11-15 Thread Kevin Hunter
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

Based on Bug #62430, it appears that Rhythmbox does not yet (?) support
.pls playlists via the command line.  This bug is very similar to Bug
#62430, but is different because rather than just doing nothing,
Rhythmbox crashes now.  Before I send upstream I figured I'd first ask
if others can recreate this.  Very simple to recreate:

-
$ rhythmbox g\'morning.pls
** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GstObject)
Segmentation fault
-

Anyone else?

[Bug 44082] Re: GNOME Panel icons (on right side) move apparently randomly on session start in some situations

2010-10-25 Thread Kevin Hunter
sk8erbender: Thank you for the bug confirmation.  However, Dylan McCall
put it succinctly in comment #202: The source of this problem is really
close to the heart of the panel's design. It allows user-defined
positions for applets, and these are stored with absolute values (in
pixels). No amount of fiddling will change that that is a very poor,
inflexible design.

Unless a dev corrects me, this bug will not be fixed.  It will only go
away when a replacement is enacted, or there is a complete redesign of
the fundamental panel code architecture and assumptions.  In the
meantime, there are a number of workarounds in the discussion above, but
for now, this paper cut will continue to bleed.

[Bug 44082] Re: GNOME Panel icons (on right side) move apparently randomly on session start in some situations

2010-09-09 Thread Kevin Hunter
Given the number of duplicates and people subscribed to this bug, I
thought I'd offer a workaround that I recently discovered: Docky.  As I
currently see it, the gist of docky is to recreate, in open-source
fashion, the OS X dock.  On OS X I find the dock annoying, but since
installing Docky, I rather enjoy it.  I believe it only available if
you're running Karmic or newer.

For Lucid, it's already part of the repositories:

$ sudo apt-get install docky

If you're running Karmic, I direct you to the docky site, but it's
basically 3 command line operations, not one: http://www.go-docky.com/

For myself, I've even gained some vertical space on my screen because
I'm now able to remove the bottom panel, after enabling fade away in
Docky.

A suggestion.

[Bug 367512] Re: unnecessary screensaver interruption

2010-05-20 Thread Kevin Hunter
Heh, I was fully prepared to be patient when I reported this wishlist
item over a year ago.  :-)

I didn't know how to report this bug to Jamie Zawinksi (xscreensaver
fella), so I ended up writing him an email.  I imagine he gets hundreds
of emails per day, and since I didn't get a response back I didn't know
if it had been lost.  Then I posted it here.

I'm actually not sure if this is a screensaver issue, or a window
manager issue, so I punted and just posted.  In other words, does the
screensaver need to even know that those events happened?  I don't think
so.

Some other thoughts: if screen has been turned off (not just black or
running a screensaver), then there's no need to turn the screen back on.
For example, from the decibel output of the speakers it will be clear if
the volume has been turned up or down.

2010-05-02 Thread Kevin Hunter
I can confirm on Lucid.  With both gnomescreensaver and and xscreensaver
installed.

I not sure where the problem lies, but judging as best I can with my
rudimentary debugging skills, the attached dbus output would seem to
imply that

 - totem (1.774) is sending an Inhibit signal,

 - the ScreenSaver (1.602) receives that request and then informs the
SessionManager.

 -  Meanwhile, the SessonManager turns around and responds false for a
check of IsInhibited for some reason (return reply_serial=1926: boolean
false).

This is still an issue in Karmic, as of today.  It's definitely low
priority, as I haven't researched it for over a year, but it is
annoying.  Unfortunately, it's not something that I can reproduce
reliably.  That's why it's so low priority ... because it only happens
between 50 and 75 percent of the time.

Further note: have only noticed it when I push the power button on my
laptop.  That is, the window usually pops up in response to me pushing
the power button.  When it doesn't, I have to hunt for it's flashing
taskbar icon so that I can shut down or suspend my computer.

[Bug 510238] [NEW] small screen resolution: taskbar icons on top of system menu

2010-01-20 Thread Kevin Hunter
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

I normally have 1280x800 resolution.  However, sometimes I need to
mirror my display to a project or presentation.  Depending on the
projector, this can reduce my screen resolution to 800x600.  The issue
is with the taskbar quicklaunch icons.  As shown in after.png, the icons
are drawn behind the System menu.

This isn't so bad, except that if I click on the system menu to restore
my screen resolution, the action of the taskbar is to click the
underlying icon.

1. The presentation of icon and system menu is not consistent with the Behind 
the scenes of what actually happens during interaction.  They should be 
consistent.
2. I think the correct behavior is to leave access to the system menus, not the 
icons, so the behind the scenes is what should change; the icons should *not* 
be drawn over top of the system menus.

A plan of action: if there is not enough room to display the quicklaunch
icons, don't.  Instead, either do a slideshow effect, or place a down
triangle there which can be clicked to expand to the list of quicklaunch
icons.

Yep, thank goodness I'm a keyboard person so I could figure that out.
Is there an upstream bug related to this?  I looked in a couple of
places, but I'm not really sure for what I'm looking.

This is a bigger deal to folks less Linux savvy than us.  Case in point:
I've known about and dealt this problem for over 3 years.  My advisor,
however, recently made the switch to Ubuntu, and re-pointed this out to
me when he couldn't resize his screen back to a normal usage.  (He
regularly switches back and forth as he uses his tablet to teach classes
and give class notes.)

2009-09-09 Thread Kevin Hunter
A data point: on Jaunty, this has slightly improved.  Now, it reverts
back to what it was when I plug in the power.  But, it always seems to
go to 50% brightness or less when I unplug the power.  So, if I had set
battery to 85% brightness and power to 100% brightness, unplugging would
then result in 50% brightness:

1- AC power (100%)
2- Battery (50%) - manually change to 85%
3- AC power (100%)
4- Battery (50%) - it lost my settings.

Hmm, this now seems to work /almost/ flawlessly for USB keys, and I
assume as well for filesystems that get mounted ad-hoc.

It still doesn't work for the use case of a file system owned by me and
mounted automatically by fstab (as suggested in the description).

Human script:

1. Open a terminal

# Part 1: create empty directory in $HOME, and mount different file system to 
it.
# Different filesystem will exist entirely in RAM, and will take at most 5M.
$ cd ~
$ mkdir tmp_tester
$ sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=5M,uid=1000,gid=1000 trash_test tmp_tester

# Part 2: create 512K file in new file system
$ cd tmp_tester
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=./aFile bs=512K count=1

# Part 3: recreate behavior, note new Trash area not accessible via GUI
$ ls -lA # list files, including hidden stuffs.  Note lack of .Trash-1000/ 
directory.
$ gnome-open .# should open a window viewing the contents of this directory
  [ ... remove the file by striking delete on your keyboard ... ]
  [ *** Where did the file go?  It's still there, the bytes are still tied up,
   but you can't empty this file system's trash.*** ]
  [ ...  either close the window or otherwise return to the terminal ... ]
$ ls -lA # Note that .Trash-1000/ now exists.  In it you find the file you 
removed via the GUI.

Thus, it's possible to finally remove the file, but not via the GUI.

2009-06-22 Thread Kevin Hunter
No news.  I did send the bug upstream.  It's such a small issue, and one
that is likely only noticed by geeks, power nuts, or folks who haven't
yet put 2 and 2 together (and they will because they're savvy enough to
use Bittorrent or otherwise mess with large files) that I didn't worry
about it.  Besides, it's easily enough remedied by simply closing the
nautilus window.

Maybe I'll have time to do a proper upstream bug search in about a
month, but until then, I have only 3 minute intervals.

[Bug 367325] Re: show file name while burning image

2009-05-01 Thread Kevin Hunter
Having been through this before, I'll get a very similar response.
There is a very wide gap between the end-user-seeing-a-bug-in-in-
use-software and the developer-developing-on-the-cutting-edge.  As a
semi-educated end-user, I don't know how to cross that bridge
effectively enough for developers.  In some sense, launchpad *is* that
interface for me (and I imagine lots of others).  I'd love to help the
open source and Free software worlds, but a developer I am not.  I'm an
end-user, and there are folks (such as yourself?) who know how to
effectively talk to developers.

In the mean time, I'm *not* running Jaunty, nor will I be in the near
future.  This bug will have to wait until someone either cares, or I
update to the latest and greatest.  Given the stability factor of
Jaunty, I'm guessing my update won't be coming first.

A further thought ... if normally only make the basename were initially
visible, but on some sort of interaction (mouseover? button?) display
the complete path name, I'd say that could be helpful as well.  I
*usually* don't need the complete path name, but it would have been
useful a couple of times in the past.

[Bug 335255] Re: incorrect mount timeout when no user intervention

2009-04-01 Thread Kevin Hunter
1. Yes, every time.

2. Just tried on Jaunty.  The issue is still there, although it takes a
*much* longer time to reach it:  It takes 300 seconds to timeout.

Now, it correctly removes the interaction dialog (user credentials), but
still has the explanation dialog.  I think the reaction from Ubuntu in
this particular use case should just remove the interaction and be done.
When it's clear that the user just forgot about it, there's no need to
clutter the interface with Yet Another box saying what happened.

This is a semi-cosmetic thing, so no big deal really, but I can't
imagine it would be that hard to either add a timeout function to just
make it disappear, or to not have it timeout at all.

Tangentially, the Intrepid version did at least give possible reasons,
which for other NoReply reasons, is a good thing.  Jaunty now has
*just*:

DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a
reply (timeout by message bus)

[Bug 335255] [NEW] incorrect mount timeout when no user intervention

2009-02-26 Thread Kevin Hunter
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gvfs

Mounting a file system times out, with (forgetful) user-intervention is
required.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a partition on your local hard drive, something that nautilus
will place under Places in the left pane.

2. Click on it, so that Nautilus tries to mount it.
  -- You should be presented with an Authenticate dialog --

3. Intentionally forget about the box, and don't enter a password.

In a few seconds, you should see an Unable to mount ...  dialog box,
with the error message

DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply.
Possible ...

I believe this dialog box should not appear.  In this case, the delay is
not a failure of the system or hardware, but of the user to type a
password.

Possible remedies:
- Include a (visible) timer so as to remove the dialog box if there is no 
interaction.
- Leave the dialog box there.

Either way, the NoReply error message is unnecessary in this known
context.

[Bug 259186] Re: gnome-screenshot won't save to a ram disk

2009-01-05 Thread Kevin Hunter
No need to reopen this bug if it's fixed, but a data point:

I wonder if the internal issue was that the vfs/gnome-screenshot was
checking for enough free space prior to saving?  If so, I believe the
RAMFS doesn't report that.  So, my workaround was to change that dir to
tmpfs:

$ sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=4M,noatime,mode=755,uid=kevin,gid=kevin
kevins_ram_disk ~/ram

The tmpfs requires a size (e.g. 4M) and therefore lets the VFS check
this.  It's still a bug that it couldn't deal well with ramfs , but it's
actually better to have a size limitation for my uses anyway ...

* Is this reproducible?

It seems to be.  I haven't put 100% effort into drilling out how because
I'm used to just using the underlying command line utility (tar, zip,
etc.).  In the mean time, I got lazy and went with the double-click on
email attachments, hence file-roller.

* If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?

The attachment image is indicative of the last few email attachments
I've received ... which I suppose would be all zip files with a few
nested directories and files.  I'll make a few dummy zip and/or tar
files this evening and attach those.

[Bug 281440] Re: archive should order contents hierarchically

2008-10-11 Thread Kevin Hunter
Okay, researching it more thoroughly now, I think the issue is that even
when I sort by location, file-roller wants to keep the directories
sorted together.  This is incorrect, in my opinion.  If I sort by
location, the entries should be sorted *by location*.

In the BaseDir screenshots I've posted (tarred so as to make one
attachment), you'll note that the BaseDir is not sorted properly, I
suspect because the directories are sorted alphabetically together, then
the rest.  The directory BaseDir contains all the rest, is rooted at /
as far as file-roller is concerned (another bug, in my opinion), and so
should be sorted first.

In the Dirs-sorted-wrong series, note that Edir is separated from it's
sibling Edir entries in the images.  This is not correct for sorted by
location, in my opinion.

Does this help to explain what I think is incorrect?

[Bug 281440] [NEW] archive should order contents hierarchically

2008-10-10 Thread Kevin Hunter
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: file-roller

In using file-roller, I note that I'm unable to order the contents
hierarchically and whatever-else-ically.  That is, if I order by date,
and then by hierarchy, I should see the root of a folder, then it's
contents.  If you wanted to be clever, you might make it a tree
hierarchy that could be dynamically expanded and reduced, like the
common paradigm of a file system.  Besides, what are archive files but a
just another file system?

In the attached screenshot, the location column should help explain what
I'm talking about.  I've ordered the archive by the location column, yet
I can't see any discernible order.  Since the SC08-Matlab directory
contains all the other items, shouldn't it sort to the top or bottom of
the list?

Similarly, it should be possible to order by multiple columns.  Like how
you can in OO.o/Calc or MS/Excel.  A user interface paradigm might be to
just stable-sort the items based on the column the user clicks.  Thus,
to sort by location, then size, I'd click on Size column, then the
Location column.

[Bug 244324] Re: no sound-server available, rhythmbox freezes

2008-10-01 Thread Kevin Hunter
Sorry, I should have gotten back to this sooner.

My point with this bug report was not that I had my settings set
properly for the exact setup (I do, but I have to remember to start
pulseaudio, currently), but that Rhythmbox dies.  A program should /not/
just die; Rhythmbox should *gracefully* handle the error and not just
crash.

Juxtapose this behavior with, say, Amarok.  Amarok deals with no sound-
server much more gracefully.

I'll give you that it could be an ALSA configuration issue, but if so,
it's a parallel issue.

This may be related as well: if I'm using Rhythmbox and switch to a tty
(e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F1), the connection gets broken (or something) and
Rhythmbox dies.  Again, juxtapose this behavior with Amarok: it doesn't
die, and continues to play sound normally.

Suggest not closing this bug, or otherwise help me better articulate
where to find the bug *in Rhythmbox*.

For the record:

aplay *successfully* plays wav files when pulseaudio is running (as
expected)

aplay does *not* work when pulseaudio is stopped (as expected) (***
PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection refused)

Again: the issue is whether Rhythmbox gracefully handles an unexpected
condition, not whether my settings are correct.

@Sebastien, hmm, okay.  From an end-user point of view, all I know is
that Rhythmbox freezes.  Good call in deducing *where* the problem is,
as I mentioned this on the Rhythmbox mailing lists or discussion room
(don't remember anymore) and their general reaction was it ain't our
fault, but didn't help pinpoint where it might be.  Thanks.

[Bug 259186] [NEW] gnome-screenshot won't save to a ram disk

2008-08-18 Thread Kevin Hunter
Public bug reported:

From the department of random-bugs:

I've created a ramdisk in my $HOME directory as such:

$ pwd
/home/kevin

$ sudo mount -t ramfs kevins_ram_disk ram/

$ mount | grep kevins_ram_disk
kevins_ram_disk on /home/kevin/ram type ramfs (rw)

Now, when I try to save a screenshot to that directory: it silently
seems to just not work.  I don't see the file in the normal Desktop or
kevin ($HOME), or /tmp directories.

I wonder if this is related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/71492

2008-08-01 Thread Kevin Hunter
 what did you select in the system menu, 
 preferences, sounds, music and video option?

They're all set to ALSA.  Not PulseAudio.  Setting to PulseAudio will
likely solve my immediate issue but is *not* the point of the bug
report.  The point is that Rhythmbox should not crash if no sound server
is available.  It should gracefully handle the unexpected condition.

As for the DebuggingProgramCrash, I get this:

$ sudo apt-get install rhythmbox-dbgsym=0.11.5-0ubuntu8
 ...
WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
  rhythmbox-dbgsym

I'm not willing to install software that can't be authenticated, and the
instructions on the provided link do not give me a key to add.  I will
note that I can reproduce this every time.  I just turn off or kill any
and all sound daemons, then start Rhythmbox and try to play something.

2008-05-01 Thread Kevin Hunter
slider_idea++;

To put some more meat on this from another user, I often will sit idle 
reading a long web page, figuring out a page of code, or deciding what to write 
next, and inevitably the screen will get dimmer while I'm in the middle of a 
thought process.  This comes at just the right time to be annoying and 
distracting to me.  If the timeout was shorter, I would turn the feature off 
completely.  If it was longer, I don't think I'd recognize the benefits of the 
dimming before my screen saver cut in, dimming the screen entirely.  What I 
think would be helpful is two-fold:

* People think differently, at different speeds, and with 
different queues acting as distractions.  An option to change the timeout 
before dim would be awfully nice.  Here is where the slider option might fit 
well.
* Other times, I think the timeout would be great set to a 
shorter value, except for key moments when I'm clearly working.  In these 
moments, it should not interfere at all.  An option to perform a mouse gesture 
/ keystroke combination / mouse placement that would temporarily disable or 
increase the timeout length would be awfully useful.  Perhaps the upper right 
of the screen, or something similar to OS X's hot corners.

[Bug 195125] [NEW] accessability enhancement: 5 min fix?

2008-02-24 Thread Kevin Hunter
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gcalctool

I just accidentally maximized gcalctool.  Slightly suprisingly that I
could maximize it.  Then I noticed the buttons all got bigger to fill
the space.  Also cool.  Surprising again, but actually perhaps handy.
What if I'm (partially) blind?  Then I noticed that the font size of the
buttons was still the same (size 12?) as when the calculator was a
normal size window.

It would be helpful, I think, that since the buttons already scale to
fill the container size, why not also have the character font scale to
fill the button size?  If this is /not/ a desirable action, this could
be added as an accessibility option.

Merits:
 - this should be an easy fix, perhaps 30 minutes for someone new to the code, 
or 5 minutes for a regular maintainer.
 - another bonus for gcalctool.  (Accessibility)
 - if done properly, should not bloat the binaries since font information is 
already compiled in or shared.

Cool.

P.S. Sorry if there's extra information attached to this bug.  I'm a
lazy snit and clicked the Help-Report a Problem link to get here . . .

[Bug 109709] Re: feisty - installed applets (invest, weather) on panel; they don't respond, and I can't remove them

2007-09-14 Thread Kevin Hunter
This is directed at Sebastien Bacher, hoping that this adds some more
info.  I'm not clear on what was needed for the bug report, but I'll try
to be responsive if asked a direct question.

I can't comment on 7.10 Alpha 5, but with 7.04, the invest applet
doesn't work.  I'm not sure to what degree it doesn't work, because it
/is/ responsive for me, but not at all useful as I understand how to use
it:

* I can add it to the top panel with right-click - Add to Panel.  Doing
that places an the Invest purple and white graph icon on top panel, with
an associated darker gray area to it's right.

* The only mouse action to which it seems to respond is a right-click on
the darker gray area on the right.  Doing that brings up a menu with
Refresh, Preferences, About, and the three Move/Lock/Remove items.

* Refresh appears to do nothing.

* About brings up dialog box.  Only thing of note here is that the link
Invest Website points to http://raphael.slinckx.net/invest which gives
a 404 error currently.  Also, it's linked to the Preferences dialog such
that if I open the About first, then Preferences, I have to close
Preferences before I can interact with the About box again.  Weird.

* The Preferences Dialog is responsive for me.  Clicking the Add
button adds a new symbol with GOOG as the default.  I can click on the
newly added GOOG text and it allows me to change the symbol.  The
problem is that the data for each symbol is a flat-zero.  Just clicking
around now . . . it appears that I can edit all the datum points.  Hrm.
Perhaps a help dialog explaining what's going on would be helpful.  If I
knew what was going on, I'd offer to write the text for you . . .

With my current guess as to what is supposed to happen and what the
Invest applet is supposed to do, the problem seems to me to be that the
applet is not collecting any data from the web.

Perhaps relevant info:

Anything else I should add?
