Today I booted a beta2 version of 11.10 Oneiric on my Dell netbook, and checked keyboard behavior regarding this bug. I had the US and ES (Spanish) layouts installed, with and without the Maori layout in the list. The behavior was the same as with the 12.04 beta2 version installed in other systems: AltGr combinations produced an error character if the Maori character was in the list, when using gnome- terminal. The ES layout worked properly when the Maori layout was not in the list. The same thing happens when using Linux Mint, which is based on 11.10 Oneiric.

[Bug 980134] [NEW] AltGr key doesn't work properly in gnome-terminal when Maori is in the keyboard selection list.
Public bug reported: I am running the 12.04 beta, 2012-04-12 daily, i386, from a DVD. I have 3 different keyboard layouts loaded in the keyboard layout selector: US, ES (LATAM), and Maori. With ES selected, and the AltGr key depressed, my top QWERTY row should look like this @ł€¶ŧ←↓→øþ But if I do this in the gnome-terminal, I get � If I then remove Maori from the list, and continue with the ES (LATAM) layout, I get the proper characters on the screen. See bug #929054 for an earlier report on the xfce4-terminal in Xubuntu 12.04 beta, on the same amd64 machine. This does not happen with the KDE terminal program in Kubuntu 12.04 beta. Also it does not happen in Debian 6 with a similar combination of keyboard layouts, including Maori. Debian has a somewhat different selection of layouts available, but it does have the ones I tested on this machine. Also it has a somewhat older version of gnome-terminal. I filed this separate bug report to emphasise that this happens with gnome-terminal, and still happens as of today's build, with no problems arising from multiple updates to the installation on this computer.

I don't particularly like the concept of the indicator applet OR the notification area - similar concepts, lumping together several applets; I'd rather just add these things individually and arrange them individually.

[Bug 531173] Re: New Lucid keyboard layout indicator does not indicate current layout
This problem has popped up over and over again with almost every Ubuntu release. It largely affects people who deal with a number of languages using the Latin character set, but are used to the US keyboard. I think there may be other variant keyboards for which subscripts would be useful, but I'm not sure. This is a convention adopted in MS-Windows many years ago. BTW I created the first US-International keyboard layout for MS-Windows in 1987, and it soon needed to be expanded. It's pretty hard to devise a layout of that sort to handle ALL the European languages without making its use very cumbersome - that's why there are 3 or 4 variants other than the standard US keyboard. It's necessary for the user to know which one has been selected. The trick of enabling a popup showing the layout by right-clicking on the icon works, but it takes up screen space, which for example is limited in the first place on a netbook. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/531173 Title: New Lucid keyboard layout indicator does not indicate current layout -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Some new issues: When I boot in safe mode. I can't use the wifi interface (configured with network-manager), but the eth0 interface works (configured in /etc/network/interfaces). Apparently network-manager is disabled in safe mode. When booting into the normal Gnome mode, the previously-configured wifi interface (wlan0) does work, if it was set up before this bug appeared with parameters for the local wireless access point. On one start of Gnome, even the desktop icons I had created previously did not appear. But I could use ctr-alt-F2 to switch to a text shell and restart gdm, after which those icons reappeared.

[Bug 689377] [NEW] Panels fail to appear on Gnome startup on Averatec notebook running 11.04 alpha1
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-panel I have installed 11.04 'natty narwhal' beta-1 on my Averatec 3280 notebook, and have updated it daily through this morning. This has a Unichrome display which only supports Gnome in 11.04. This display has had a number of problems with previous versions of Ubuntu, mainly documented in bug #495553, but on the initial release of 11.04, most of the problems seemed to have been solved. (See the last few comments in that bug report for details). Starting yesterday, 11 December 2010, a new problem has surfaced. When the Gnome display comes up, after logging in, either neither panel appears, or just the bottom panel appears. Once in a large number of trials, both panels will appear. Currently neither shows up. Yesterday, after this started happening, I add the Main Menu to the bottom panel, then created desktop icons for a number of common programs (Terminal, Firefox, Update Manager, Synaptic, etc.) so I could continue testing and reporting on the system. I had previously installed an ssh server and some other shell utilities to make it easier to access the system when display problems occur. I am attaching the current output of apt-show-versions to show the current state of the system.

[Bug 531173] Re: New Lucid keyboard layout indicator does not indicate current layout
Karmic, up through any current updates, uses icons with numeric subscripts indicating variants of the basic keyboards for a language. Eliminating that feature (actually in a redesigned program) is a definite regression. By the way, I designed the original US-International layout for Windows 2.11 in 1987, for Olivetti and Microsoft. This was redesigned the next year for Windows 3.0, with the advice of a Nokia engineer, to provide Nordic language support. Visually indicating variant keyboard selections has been an issue ever since. Recent XP versions use one icon or other indicator to indicate the base language, and another to show variants, when more than one variant is enabled. Also XP provides a keyboard switching option something like control- shift+number key to select various layouts, instead of toggling or cycling through the enabled combinations. It's too easy otherwise to enable the wrong keyboard, without the icon showing definitely which layout is being used - this leads to confusion and typos. There is a KDE keyboard indicator program, which I haven't tried - it apparently has user-configurable icons. I don't know if that covers this situation. -- New Lucid keyboard layout indicator does not indicate current layout https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/531173 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 531173] Re: New Lucid keyboard layout indicator does not indicate current layout
I just subscribed to this bug because I just noticed the behavior in the keyboard indicator - it no longer displays different icons for variants of the same country layout, as for USA, USA1, USA2. This change must have occurred in the past few weeks, as I have been using alternate US layouts for different languages for many years. Typically I have the basic USA layout and a couple of different alternate USA layouts, switching to the basic one when I'm typing in English. On some systems, you can set up the scroll lock LED to show alternate layouts, but that's not of great use when there are 3 or more layouts set up. Also, on my Dell netbook there is no scroll lock flag in the hardware or software, so that doesn't work. And it has no LEDs, so I would have to set up the Lock Keys Applet, which in fact doesn't show the nonexistent scroll lock flag. -- New Lucid keyboard layout indicator does not indicate current layout https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/531173 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 517920] Re: gnome-appearance-properties no longer provides tooltips about background image names
I've been meaning to report this myself for some time. It is rather inconvenient if one wants to determine the name and location of a background image in one's list of backgrounds, in order to repair or modify the image, or in order just to find it for use on another system, for example. Earlier releases (Hardy, Jaunty) have this tooltip feature, and it seems it has been restored in Lucid. However, Lucid is still in its alpha and beta stages, and the current versions in fact do not run properly on some of my computers. So it would be desirable to put this feature back into the Karmic gnome- control-center package. This runs as gnome-appearance-properties --show-page=background I assume the program stores the list of paths to the background selections somewhere; the path to the current selection shows in ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/background/%gconf.xml -- gnome-appearance-properties no longer provides tooltips about background image names https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/517920 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 495553] [NEW] Screen origin shifted to center, screen wraps
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gdm I installed Lucid on the Averatec 3280 laptop from the Alternate CD on 10 December 2009. I then updated the system with apt-get several times. On booting this morning, the logical screen origin was shifted to the center of the screen. With some difficulty, I was able to log in, and to try to find a solution. After the original installation, my login screen was too large, so that the login window was of center. It looks like some bugs have been reported about that issue, such as #231555 and @214704; I haven't looked at the details. I have had similar problems with earlier releases on this laptop. However, once logged in, the screen resolution was correct (1024x768 on this laptop's panel). Adding an xorg.conf file seemed to cure the login screen size problem. The split-screen problem only appeared this morning, after an update the previous evening. I will attach a photo of the screen and any further details a bit later - it's a bit difficult to edit this report with the screen split with the browser's left and right margins in the middle of the screen.

Here is an xorg.conf file which I used earlier when the issue was that the boot login screen was too large - this problem was similar to an earlier bug I reported on the same laptop, running earlier Ubuntu releases: Bug #296142. With the initial installation of lucid, only the login screen was the wrong size; then the screen was sized properly to 1024x768. But now this split-screen bug has appeared. It appears that having xorg.conf installed doesn't affect the new bug, one way or the other. BUT it should be noted that when I try to switch to a console TTY, the screen goes blank. Switching back to X with ALT-F7 DOES work however. Before the split-screen bug appeared this morning, console TTYs worked fine. ** Attachment added: xorg.conf http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36701467/xorg.conf -- Screen origin shifted to center, screen wraps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/495553 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 495553] Re: Screen origin shifted to center, screen wraps
I tried an experiment: I put the xorg.conf file back in /etc/X11, but changed 'openchrome' to 'vesa', and restarted. The screen ends up being split the same way, with the left-hand part of the logical screen showing in the middle, but the mouse pointer position is the same as the logical position: e.g. moving the mouse all the way to the left or right moves the pointer to the center of the screen, and I can actually click on icons etc where they appear, instead of on the opposite side of the screen. Running the openchrome driver, the screen looks exactly the same, but in order to point at something on the screen, I have to move the pointer to the corresponding position on the opposite half of the screen. In either case, the display has the left and right halves reversed, which looks like an address bit inverted. With the vesa driver, mouse position corresponds to screen position for other objects, while with the openchrome driver, mouse position corresponds to physical position on the display. Apparently cursors are handled differently by the two drivers. -- Screen origin shifted to center, screen wraps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/495553 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 495553] Re: Screen origin shifted to center, screen wraps
I changed the driver back to openchrome, and added Option SWCursor true to the Device section for the display. Now the cursor appears as with the vesa driver, making it easier to point at objects on the reversed screen. I suspected the problem with the cursor position was due to using a hardware cursor.

Re: [Bug 371516] Re: Rhythmbox music status not shown by Pidgin
It's a Pidgin plugin, actually. So the bug should probably be transferred to Pidgin. A similar bug was reported on Pidgin under 8.04, but the music player was VLC. That person is upgrading to 9.04 now, and will update his bug report.

[Bug 259195] Re: Mouse pointer selection has become confusing under Gnome 2.22.3 under hardy
I mentioned above that I experienced a crash in Firefox while changing a mouse pointer. Actually what I was doing was trying to start this bug report and experimenting with changing mouse pointers from the theme dialog, and trying to see what would happen if I changed the pointer in one theme, then switched to another theme and change the pointer for that. While doing that, Firefox crashed and I had to start the bug report over again from scratch! I suppose I had 3 or 4 tabs open in Firefox, at that point. As for upstream reporting to Gnome, I have been going by their statement, so far: There's a lively community around GNOME and we're happy to help you if possible. The following list points to several options you can choose. However, GNOME interacts with a large number of other software projects. In most cases, the Internet homepage of your distribution is thus a better place to start. So we recommend that you first check the support options of your distribution. I did point out above that this same problem is seen in other distros with the same Gnome version, in particular with Fedora. -- Mouse pointer selection has become confusing under Gnome 2.22.3 under hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/259195 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 259195] [NEW] Mouse pointer selection has become confusing under Gnome 2.22.3 under hardy
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-control-center Selection of the mouse pointer has changed radically under hardy and Gnome 2.22.3 - finding how to do this is un-obvious and obscure. Also, pointer selection can crash Firefox. That happened to me while I was attempting to file this bug report earlier - I had to start from scratch. Previously, mouse pointer selection was done in middle tab of the SystemPreferencesMouse dialog, very logically. All that is left regarding cursor (mouse pointer) selection is a checkbox allowing control-key mouse finding. In my confusion when I first encountered this change, I searched around and found and installed the gcursor package. This provides a dialog with appears to select the mouse pointer (it DOES display the possible cursors), but it doesn't affect the selection. (Bugs such as Bug #138491 have been filed on this). However that particular bug report does give a bit about the new, complicated way of selecting the mouse pointer. The first way is with SystemPreferencesAppearance. The resulting dialog Appearance Preferences has a Theme tab - on that, one can select a theme and click on the Customize button, to bring up a Customize Themes dialog, which has a Pointer tab, in which you can select a pointer. (This is the first mention of 'mouse' or 'pointer' or 'cursor' in this series of actions). I think that this is very confusing - I had to go to Launchpad and search a bit to find this solution! The Pointer tab should be put back in the mouse dialog! Alternatively, the gcursor program should be fixed, but that really seems to just add another selection to the SystemPreferences menu, quite unnecessarily. ** Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Mouse pointer selection has become confusing under Gnome 2.22.3 under hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/259195 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
