[Bug 244050] [NEW] cannot turn off program autostart on ipod connection

2008-06-29 Thread Mike McWay
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-volume-manager

I'm trying to disable autostarting rhythmbox or banshee when connecting
my ipod. However this behavior continues after disabling it in 2
different places.

first of all the original place to disable this has diasappeared. used
to exist in System  Preferences  Removable Drives and Media

I was able to find a tutorial that led me to another default program
that did list media players and disabled autostart there (forget the
program, but was exactly like Removable Drives and Media with more
devices)

I then also disabled the functionality in gconf (desktop  gnome 
volume_manager) and unchecked autoipod

both of these listed rhythmbox as the default however I keep having
Banshee launched when inserting my ipod. There however is no option in
banshee to set this behavior and checking with them they don't even
offer it, so it must still be a gnome-volume-manager bug.

is there a way to see what is initiating the autostart?

[Bug 128803] Re: [Gutsy] very slow gnome startup

2008-02-11 Thread Mike McWay
personally bootchart won't do anything for me since the problem is not
on booting but on gnome login.  I believe someone above was able to make
it work all the way through the desktop loading, but i don't think i
have the technical skills to make that work.  If there is an easier way
that you know of to analyze the gnome login please let me know and i
would be glad to find the problem.  however, until that time Gutsy will
continue to login to gnome in 2-3min for me.

hoping a clean install of Hardy will make this all go away in 2 short
months

2007-12-07 Thread Mike McWay
thats one way to do itmaybe devs will realize how annoying this can
be.

this bug needs instructions on how to approach self-diagnosing the
problem.  many people have removed all applets with no results.
sweetsinse seemed to do an extremely thorough job and suggested it may
be a problem with the compiz script used by ubuntu.  has this been
explored by any developers knowledgable in this area?

looking at bootchart doesn't mean anything to me, if i go through the
trouble of patching and installing it to analyze login will someone take
a look?  first though, how do i do that?

I for one use both compiz and deskbar as i have since edgy, and i've
still noticed a good 15-30sec jump in login time since moving from
feisty.  removing them doesnt seem to change much, but when you're
talking about 45sec login vs 60sec its still waaa too lng.

to the contrary, YES, switching to other distros also running Gnome 2.20
has made a big difference to some of the users above.  I believe one
person tried Arch linux with more panel aplets and still had 10sec less
than Ubuntu.   Then as you saw, anibal switched to Mandriva and seems to
not have the problem anymore.  So to both Sebastien and Ricardo, YES it
does make a difference.  this is an Ubuntu specific problem, How do I
help?

have not tried the feisty kernel, but do not have the  time right now to
test that

i agree, do remember a good drop in time with feisty as well, which
would make this a regression more than anything.  not as comparable to
edgy

[Bug 157306] Re: greyed options in right click context menu

2007-11-21 Thread Mike McWay
1. insert a cd or usb drive and make so it appears on desktop
2. right click on it
3. Notice Options in menu (13)
Open
Browse Folder
Cut
Copy
Make Link
Rename...
Move to Trash
Stretch Icon
Restore Icon's Original Size
Copy Disc
Create Archive
Eject
Properties
4.  Notice Options actually available to select (7) (i.e. not greyed out)
Open
Browse 
Stretch Icon
Copy Disc
Create Archive
Eject
Properties

therefore only 7 of 13 options are selectable, yet all are displayed.
Why display them if they are not possible?  It clutters the menu

My problems with this:
1. Open  Browse Folder - currently do the same thing.  For audio CD/DVD, 
Open should play the content in preferred application. Otherwise shouldn't be 
listed.
2. Cut - you can't Cut a drive.  shouldn't be in the menu at all
2. Copy - should be available and should copy the contents of the media where 
ever the user chooses to paste it
3. Make Link  Rename - not useful in this instance
4. Restore Icon Size - why display an option to restore icon size before 
anything has been done to the icon.

anything else?

[Bug 157306] greyed options in right click context menu

2007-10-25 Thread Mike McWay
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

greyed options in right click context menu clutter the menu.
(ex: for usb drives on desktop there are 12 options, 6 of which are greyed out 
and useless in that scenariothats half of the options)
why present the user with options that aren't possible in the first place?

[Bug 44686] Re: Pressing multimedia buttons on laptop with lid closed should not turn on screen

2007-04-01 Thread Mike McWay
bug still relevant in 7.04 Feisty Fawn

don't think this is a screensaver problem as much as a power-management
problem.  When I look at the Power History it shows that closing the lid
initiates DPMS Off but when pressing the multimedia buttons the computer
changes to DPMS On, turning on screen.  only later when i open my laptop
lid does it show that the laptop lid is opened.  unlike the original
post though, my screen eventually goes black as set to do, although not
sure about timing.

basically,
DPMS should not be set On when lid is down on laptop and multimedia buttons are 
pressed.  

different behavior may be desired on desktop such that the screen does
come on when keys are pressed, but on a laptop as long as the lid is
closed the screen should not be initiated until opened
