[Bug 1765261] Re: [regression] Ubuntu 18.04 login screen rejects a valid password on first attempt. Usually works on the second attempt
I've just noticed an interesting quirk to this bug; the Caps Lock modifier key does work for the first character on the first attempt. That is to say open login screen (by space bar if not already open), press and release Caps Lock, Caps Lock light now on, very first character to be typed is now modified to upper case. Caps Lock may then be turned off. I wondered why this one modifier does work, and thought that the modifier key being released before typing the character to be modified might be significant. So I tried pressing and releasing the normal shift key before pressing and holding it to modify the first character of the password. This also worked for me. (It is a little fiddly, so perhaps others might like to try to confirm that I'm not mistaken?) So, at the login screen, with the password box open but nothing typed yet, press and release the (right in my test) shift key, then press and hold that shift key while typing the first character of the password. I believe that this will give correct modifier action for the shift key. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1765261 Title: [regression] Ubuntu 18.04 login screen rejects a valid password on first attempt.

Yes; the hardware didn't suffer from the problem before 10.04 or with the live CD. So it is the driver *installed* in 10.04 that causes the problem. However, it is linked to using a Matrox card. I've not seen bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/439448 with the Matrox card, but have seen it on other machines with Intel graphics, so I'm not sure that is a related bug, although it seems to affect the same end (right hand side) of the top panel so maybe there is a link. -- Panel utilities not shown on startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/572550 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

You are not alone... I've just experienced this bug on a new installation of Lucid final release on an old PIII machine with a matrox video card running a 5:4 ratio flat panel (not native 1024x768).

After more investigation I find that this bug occurs for me if using Brasero as a stand-alone programme, or if I try to use it from Nautilus in a tabbed window. In more detail; if I have two Nautilus windows open, one for the CD burner (Brasero) and the other for the source files, then attempting to copy more than a single CD of data *does* function correctly, with the data files spanned over as many CDs as are needed. On the other hand, if I have a single Nautilus window open, with two tabs, one for the source files and one for the CD burner and then drag the files between tabs I get the bug that I reported above. -- burn the selection of files across several media (spanning) does not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532988 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to brasero in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 251976] Re: Copy disc sometimes fails, sometimes works
I am trying to copy a data CD. This is a normally formatted, once written CDR that I now need another exact copy of. (I should have made two to start with, perhaps...) I put the CD with my data on it into the drive. After a few seconds it automatically mounts and up comes a nautilus browser window. I already know what is on the disc and want to copy (duplicate) the whole thing, not use individual files. So I close the nautilus browser window. Now I can see the Gnome desktop. On the desktop is an icon for my data CD that I just put in the drive, the one that I want to make an exact copy (a clone) of. I right click on that icon to bring up the menu which has the option Copy Disc. I left click that option, to start the disc copy process. This far everything has worked as I would expect. Now that I have clicked to start the copy, up comes the Copy Disc Dialogue. For a few moments it is grey, then it turns to colour and I can use it. I am happy with the defaults so I click the Write button. After this one of two things happens; 1: the correct process of reading the disc to make an image, ejecting the original disc and prompting me to insert a blank disc and writing the image to it, with all the prompts and dialogues that I'd expect. This is success, and what I would expect. 2: after a few moments the Copy Disc Dialogue disappears and nothing happens. This is a failure, and not what I would expect. If the process fails (case two) then the icon for the original disc is still on the desktop, and if I start the process again by right clicking it I normally achieve a successful copy operation. What I did notice, having nineteen discs to copy, is that there is a reliable clue early in the process. When the Copy Disc Dialogue appears, the desktop icon for the original master disc in the drive (the one with data that I want to copy) should disappear from the desktop. If that happens, the copy process will complete. Sometimes the desktop icon for the original disc does not disappear when the Copy Disc Dialogue appears; in this case the copy process fails as in case two above. -- Copy disc sometimes fails, sometimes works https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/251976 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus-cd-burner in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

This is also a problem for those of us who wish to edit files stored on other machines on a local network. I just spent around five hundred pounds on a network attached storage appliance and was not best pleased when I couldn't open files or save to it from the Gimp... Then I remembered that I've never been able to open files on other machines on the (Samba) network from within Gimp. After some desperate googling and a coffee and some more googling I find that the the VFS support module is simply not included by default. Adding gimp-gnomevfs is a complete fix for me using Gnome. It of course updates the (Gimp) file chooser to show network locations, so you don't even need to mess with the Open URI feature. Can I request the package managers consider including gimp-gnomevfs as a dependency rather than it just being a recommend dependency? -- gimp open from url doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146290 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 140460] Re: Evolution : On startup unable to connect to POP server
I've now had another look at the possible interaction with Network- Manager. Basically I removed Network-Manager from my system and manually configured the (wireless ethernet) connection to the internet. The symptom of asking for for the password and then looping continued to exist. So it looks like Network-Manager is not the culprit. Using the PPP connection (set up through GnomePPP) and a modem card continues to work properly; Evolution then starts offline; when put online by clicking the connect button it connects and just asks for the password once, going on to work normally. As others have observed, starting Evolution in a terminal with the --offline option also works. (Although I notice that the camel error messages still appear in the console). For me what happens here is that when using the --offline switch Evolution still appears to start in online mode; I guess that this means it is detecting the network connection and switching itself to online immediately. Anyway, the password behaviour is then normal, which is at least a fix of the symptom. I can also confirm that shutting down Evolution in folders other than inbox leads to a clean start. As a temporary fix of the symptom I've added the --offline switch after --component=mail in the Gnome Panel launcher for Evolution. This seems to work ok for now. (I also notice that if running in conditions where the password dialogue loops, cancelling the first dialogue before entering a password leads to normal correct operation if mail pickup is initiated manually.) -- Evolution : On startup unable to connect to POP server https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/140460 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 140460] Re: Evolution : On startup unable to connect to POP server
I've just used my system on a network configured manually, *without* Network-Manager and note that the symptom of repeated asking for password didn't occur. Could others in this bug check whether they are using network manager and whether *not* using it alleviates the symptom? (I have seen it suggested in a forum post that the problem may be linked with the use of Network-Manager, my single experience appears to confirm this as a possibility.) -- Evolution : On startup unable to connect to POP server https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/140460 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 140460] Re: Evolution : On startup unable to connect to POP server
Just to clarify my previous post; I'm away from any network that I have access to, so turned off network manager (using the gui) and then used a dialup modem via GnomePPP to get on to the net. Under these conditions Evolution seems inclined to start in offline mode. When put online it contacts the mailserver and then asks for password. Under these conditions it asks only once and then works as normal. -- Evolution : On startup unable to connect to POP server https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/140460 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 149964] Re: evolution: URLs with ampersand () don't work
There's now a proposed patch for this problem. (Milan Crha 18/10). Any chance of testing this and getting it adopted quickly if it works? This is exactly the kind of bug that is confusing and disturbing to 'average users' but too easy for geeks to say Just edit the html tag out in the address bar, Luser. Which doesn't help Linux advocacy. We're already stuck with enough (legal) problems getting people's MP3s and DVD movies to play... I also notice that in the body of emails from eBay the item names (clickable links) also display the same symptom, with ampersands expanded to amp; Likely the same underlying problem is causing this as well, and only cosmetic, but worth checking that the proposed fix addresses this too.

Nobody accused of it either! It is only an annoyance, but one that will occur for anyone using the eBay notification email service, which is probably a very common case.

[Bug 50226] pmount sees a microdrive as non-removable, so won't mount it.
Public bug reported:
I use a digital camera with a CF II form factor microdrive.
If I insert this card into a PCMCIA (PC card) adaptor and put it in a
PCMCIA slot on my laptop, the microdrive shows as a disc in the
Places-Computer gui file manager (Nautilus). It is however not
mounted.
If I try to mount from Nautilus, I get an error message from pmount that
the device is non-removable so cannot be mounted by pmount.
If I switch to a terminal, I can mount and unmount the drive manually
('mount' and 'umount'). There is no problem copying files from the
drive once it is mounted.
If I use a (dirt cheap, generic) usb card-reader then the microdrive
mounts automatically, appearing on the desktop and unmounting via right
click and 'eject'. This is the behaviour that I would also like when
attaching it via the PCMCIA slot.
So the problem appears that when it is attached to the PC card bus,
pmount doesn't recognize it as a removable device.

pmount appears to just be following the information given by (presumably) hal about the device. So pmount is not at fault here, it is being told by other parts of the system that the drive is not removable. ** Changed in: pmount (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: pmount = hal -- pmount sees a microdrive as non-removable, so won't mount it. https://launchpad.net/bugs/50226 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 40473] Re: Wacom support almost there... add some udev magic?
I'd not worry too much about serial Wacoms; I've got one, but every other one I've ever seen (apart from years ago) uses USB. And I kind of don't expect the same level of magic for serial as USB if I'm honest; USB is meant for hotplugging and multiple devices, whereas serial plugs have little screw lugs to fix them in place and are always round the back of the box, covered in dust and cat hairs ;) -- Wacom support almost there... add some udev magic? https://launchpad.net/bugs/40473 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Much the same experience here with Dapper beta (Flight 7) and an Intuos 2 *serial* Wacom tablet. Wacom entries were present in xorg.conf but pointing to the non-existant dev/wacom. I didn't realise about the udev scripts, so my workaround was to manually edit xorg.conf to point to /dev/ttyS0 in the Option Device lines for the tablet. I also had to comment out the Option ForceDevice ISDV4 for tablet PC devices.

[Bug 29050] 6.04 (Dapper) doesn't recognize working printer
Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/29050 Comment: Thank you RoX! If I make the suggested change of /dev/usblp0 from scanner to root, my Epson CX3200 scanner/printer is detected by the gui Add Printer system. It prints a test page, and is still recognised by XSane as a working scanner. The goodness doesn't survive a reboot of course; although the printer is still listed as installed it is now back in the scanner group and so won't print until the manual change is made again. My naive take on this is that the problem is the multi-function device identifying as only one of its functions and therefore ending up in a restrictive group. Thus gnome-cups-manager and gutenprint drivers are innocent. The problem perhaps lies in udev/hal magic that I do not understand... Surely there should be a witty t-shirt for *nix people with a slogan on the lines of It's always a file permissions/groups problem But witty of course, rather than just descriptive ;) Neil -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 29822] hal hangs on startup
Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/29822 Comment: Very similar problem has occured on my Dapper experimental box. Was working fine with Flight 3, then updated 27th Jan and boot ground to a halt at the HAL stage. Didn't wait long enough for error messages, no progress after ten minutes... If started in recovery mode was OK until graphical login (by invoking gdm), but then an error message warned that HAL had not started and attempts to run Administration-Device Manager didn't succeed. Desktop ran fine, but obviously not really much use without devices... Took the step of running hald non daemon and with verbose as advised above; didn't crash but stopped at lines about my ZIP drive. Disconnected ZIP drive data cable, and the system now boots fine. Can't currently easily post the hal.txt output file due to an unrelated network snafu, but would email or post it if this would help the debugging process above the information in this comment.
