[Bug 1899275] [NEW] no icon placement option on desktop

2020-10-10 Thread MikeR
Public bug reported:

Im surprised that this has not been reported before:
Using GNOME-Flashback under Ubuntu 20.04 it seems impossible to place the icons 
on the desktop according to my choice.
Also I can find no way of replacing an icon image (the "picture") with 
something of my own choosing.
This was definitely possible in previous versions. The present situation is 
most inconvenient.

I dont know whether this is a bug or a display of sub-par judgement in
the part of a maintainer

[Bug 1244087] Re: Ubuntu 13.10 Main Menu editor Problem

2014-09-15 Thread MikeR
Problems carry over to 14.04
Trying alacarte and menulibre I can create a new folder, e.g. Documentation or 
Backup, but cannot move items into the folder, so that it remains invisible.
In alacarte and in menulibre I see folders (Sundry, Utilities, Web develpment) 
which include items, but do not show up when I click on Applications.

This used to be so simple until they went and improved it!!

1. I see this happening in the top panel, also (Ubuntu Precise. updated this 
morning)
2. When (if) will there be a downloadable update of the Indicator-applet? 
(preferably via a supported repository)

I can't be the only one this is happening to!
Also -- what seems to be a byproduct of not having a screensaver:
If I click on Guest Login I am sent to a new login, for user guest. However, 
when guest exits (logs out) the session returns to my original session *without 
requesting a password*!! 
This defeats the security feature of the guest user!!

[Bug 256785] Re: computer locks up when I select screen saver

2008-11-06 Thread MikeR
On a system upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10:
Using any screensaver (gnome-screensaver ot xscreensaver) screen saver starts 
OK, and can be stopped within a few minutes. If I only get back to my desktop a 
couple of hours later, either mouse movement or keyboard action stops screen 
saver, and I am left with a blank screen, mouse cursor still shows, but no 
icons or panels. Only way out is via power cycle.

Tried changing USB keyboard to PS2 - no improvement.

This did not happen under 8.04.
Only workaround I found was to uninstall both gnome-screensaver and 
xscreensaver. Now screen goues black, but both mouse and/or keyboard restore 
working desktop.

Please forgive me if I am insufficiently informative. I am Linux-
challenged; Sorry!
