[Bug 874671] Re: Empathy doesn't remember favorites, chat logs when ~/.local is a symlink

2011-11-01 Thread Phil Housley
I see the no chat logs problem - I haven't tried favourites.

My .local is a symlink, but to the same drive. I set
XDG_DATA_HOME=/home/phil/local/share, but some apps don't respect that
so I have .local = local linked.

I'm using the same home dir as I had on 10.10, and my logs just stop the
day I installed 11.10.

to be doing something with rhythmbox, and frankly both could have been
coincidence.

No proprietary drivers are loaded, no particularly new or unusual
hardware connected.  System is an old Athlon XP desktop, IDE drives,
nvidia GeForce card (nv X driver.)  Any info that might be useful,

[Bug 33986] User switch applet should not offer system configuration options

2007-08-20 Thread Phil Housley
You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Currently FUSA offers three configuration options that are not related
to the applet (Edit user info, Edit users, Setup login screen,) which
are all repeated elsewhere.  Surely an applet right-click menu isn't the
right place for these?

It seems that all it takes to change it is to delete the configure flags
in the rules, so it's not invasive.

Well, I reported it for exactly the opposite reasons.  They aren't at
all useful (they are all in the main config menus/control panel) and
they aren't at all related to the task of user switching.

Applet context menus are surely for configuring the applet, not for
providing shortcuts to slightly related tools, that are well represented
in other places and are not hard to find.

2007-02-20 Thread Phil Housley
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 24280 ***

Not sure why I'm getting email updates from this bug, but whatever.

Everything is using GTK2.  The other theme you are seeing is the default
GTK2 theme.  Note that this is different from the theme that is set as
the default for your user account (clearlooks.)  You can basically think
of it as unthemed.

It might or might not be possible to make programs running as root
always use clearlooks, that is a possibility for fixing Bug #24280,
which this is a duplicate of.

[Bug 83905] Evince fails to load postscript files

2007-02-07 Thread Phil Housley
Public bug reported:

Since a very recent update (last week or so,) evince will no longer
render postscript files. It seems to recognise the number of pages in
the file, but each just shows Loading for ever.

I think the problem is probably in ghostscript, but evince doesn't
report any errors at all to be totally sure.  Running under gdb:

Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe.
0xb7ef97f2 in ?? () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2

Which I assume is the interpreter failing, but this isn't confirmed by
evince (see Bug #58141)

I'll attach a sample, but it seems to happen for any postscript file.

2007-01-26 Thread Phil Housley
The problem isn't with thumbnailing, but when that is turned off.  I'm
attaching a composite shot of nautilus (thumbnails turned off), ls and
file.

Nautilus recognises the .mkv file as matroska, and will open it with
totem which will play it, but it won't show a media file icon.
Likewise, file will show the right data, but ls won't apply the correct
colour coding.

Attaching a very small matroska audio file to this comment; Nautilus
will try to create a thumbnail, and give up when it finds it can't (as
there's no video.)  It will then display a blank page icon, even though
it recognises that it is a media file (well, it knows that totem can
play it anyway.)

Certain types of media files are not recognised as being media in

Matroska audio, with .mka extension
Matroska video, with .mkv extension
Ogg with video, with .ogm extension

[Bug 46638] Re: Default gnome splash screen is not ubuntu splash

2007-01-19 Thread Phil Housley
$ file /usr/share/pixmaps/splash/ubuntu-splash.png
/usr/share/pixmaps/splash/ubuntu-splash.png: symbolic link to `ubuntu-slick.png'

I've actually just reinstalled from scratch (a herd 2 cd image.) I'm not
sure the situation is exactly as it was, but it still isn't right.

It seems that the only way to make the problem happen is specifically
using the gconf-editor.  If I use that to set the key to, for example,
error, then:

$ gconftool -g /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image
error
$ gconftool -u /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image
$ gconftool -g /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image
splash/ubuntu-splash.png

And everything works correctly.  If I then open gconf-editor, navigate
to the key, and select unset from the context menu, the screen will
then show splash/gnome-splash.png.  However:

$ gconftool -g /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image
splash/ubuntu-splash.png

Starting gconf-editor again, the key is now shown as splash/ubuntu-
splash.png again, so it looks like the context menu option doesn't
actually set the key wrong, it just displays the wrong text.

I guess this is actually just a gconf-editor bug?

[Bug 46638] Re: Default gnome splash screen is not ubuntu splash

2007-01-03 Thread Phil Housley
I'm starting to think this must be a freak thing, 'cause I still see it
after upgrading to breezy, with almost all the packages replace; so, if
you want to drop this, I don't mind.

For the sake of completeness though:
1. It's an ubuntu install, probably started as dapper.
2. I don't think I have ever knowingly changed /etc/gconf/2/path, the 
non-comments in it are:
xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory
include /etc/gconf/2/local-mandatory.path
include $(HOME)/.gconf.path.mandatory
include $(ENV_MANDATORY_PATH)
include $(HOME)/.gconf.path
xml:readwrite:$(HOME)/.gconf
include $(HOME)/.gconf.path.defaults
include $(ENV_DEFAULTS_PATH)
include /etc/gconf/2/local-defaults.path
xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults
xml:readonly:/var/lib/gconf/debian.defaults
xml:readonly:/var/lib/gconf/defaults
3. Looks like it runs:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo update-gconf-defaults
Password:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo $?
0
4. The only splash reference in my 
/var/lib/gconf/debian.defaults/%gconf-tree.xml, is:
dir name=gnome-session
dir name=options
entry name=splash_image mtime=1167835470 type=string
stringvaluesplash/ubuntu-splash.png/stringvalue
/entry
/dir
/dir

I'll try and grep through the gconf settings files to see if I can find
anything, but as I said before, if this only affects me, I have no
problem with you marking it notabug or something.

[Bug 49416] Calculator's Clear Entry function is redundant (gcalctool)

2006-06-11 Thread Phil Housley
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gcalctool

I'm feeling slightly apprehensive about reporting this, as it seems so
obvious yet doesn't seem to have been noticed.  But then, I never
noticed it before either.

Clear Entry seems to perform exactly the same as Clear.  gcalctool
doesn't perform partial calculations in any mode any more, so the
tooltip explanations don't help.  Also, the explanation in the help file
is certainly wrong.  Finally, Clear doesn't seem to affect any
registers or anything, so as far as I can tell, the two do exactly the
same thing: Clear the display.

Even assuming something is different at some level, the help file is
definitely wrong, as the example is impossible.

[Bug 46638] Default gnome splash screen is not ubuntu splash

2006-05-25 Thread Phil Housley
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-session

The system default gconf value for /apps/gnome-
session/options/splash_image is not the ubuntu customised one, it's
splash/gnome-splash.png.  As such, after changing the splash screen
it's tricky to get back to the original again - you can't just unset the
key.

The correct default looks to be splash/ubuntu-splash.png.

Nothing at all it seems.

However:

$ grep -r splash.png /usr/share/gconf/
/usr/share/gconf/schemas/gnome-session.schemas: 
defaultsplash/gnome-splash.png/default
/usr/share/gconf/defaults/10_gnome-session:/apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image

[Bug 28786] Re: Icons shown on desktop for non user mounts in /media

2006-04-21 Thread Phil Housley
Is there a specification for what the intended behaviour is here? I've not 
followed exactly the changes with moving from the gconf key to the hal rules or 
whatever, but the net result is that I now see the opposite to when I filed the 
bug.

In particular, the following fstab line does not create a visible drive icon 
anywhere: 
/dev/hda1   /media/Windows vfatnoatime,users,noauto ...

If there was a description of all that is supposed to show/not show, I could 
probably play around and find out how much of it is working.

[Bug 33315] Tooltip for logout applet is misleading

2006-03-29 Thread Phil Housley
Public bug report changed:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/33315

Comment:
I can't see that session is a technical word in this sense, as it is only 
describing what a user would likely call a single use of a computer anyway.

More to the point, a single tooltip is never going to fully explain the purpose 
of the menu item, as I complained about in Bug #34128 - some of the options are 
fundamentally unrelated.  In particular not all options will log you out.

Given that it seems unlikely the dialog will be split before dapper, I think we 
should pick no more than two behaviours and make that the tooltip.  My vote is 
for Turn off the computer, or make it available for others.  That skips three 
of the options (reboot etc), but does technically match the other four.

The message

is remarkably unhelpful.  I don't consider that any particular part of the path

a line of its own, and include the whole thing in all but /really/ exceptional

[Bug 34128] Log out dialog should not offer options that do not log out

2006-03-08 Thread Phil Housley
Public bug reported:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/34128

Affects: gnome-session (Ubuntu)
   Severity: Normal
   Priority: (none set)
 Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
The current logout dialog really does not make sense.  Why should a user
click log out if they actually want to switch user or lock the screen?
Any option that does not involve logging out should not be accessed by
selecting log out from the menu.

As lock screen is already in the menu, it can be removed from the
dialog with no other changes.  It would make sense to also move switch
user to the top menu, provided switching users is considered to be
mature enough in gdm.

Finally, if the top level log out option is to make sense, it needs to
be made clear that all actions selectable from the dialog will actually
log you out, as well as whatever else they might do (eg. shutting down.)
The obvious elements would be log out and: buttons and just log
out.

Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)

   Priority: (none set)
 Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
Trying to open a file and close the current nautilus window at once 
(meaning either double-middle-clicking, or shift-double-clicking on a regular 
file,) causes a crash for me.  There's no bug-buddy or anything, nautilus just 
vanishes and immediately restarts.

NB. This only happens in spatial mode of course, as there is no such
function in browser mode.

[Bug 33908] sound-juicer not updating to 2.13.6

2006-03-06 Thread Phil Housley
Public bug reported:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/33908

Affects: sound-juicer (Ubuntu)
   Severity: Normal
   Priority: (none set)
 Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
2.13.6-0ubuntu1 is the latest source package, and has been for some time
now, but the latest binary is 2.13.4-0ubuntu1.  Is this happening on
purpose, or is just not building?

I'm guessing the second, as it doesn't build for me:

checking for GSTREAMER... configure: error: Package requirements
(gstreamer-0.10 gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10) were not met:

No package 'gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GSTREAMER_CFLAGS
and GSTREAMER_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

make: *** [config.status] Error 1

Is gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10 (configure.in:49) supposed to gstreamer-
base-0.10?

Hmm, answer to that final question is no, sound-juicer does need gst
base plugins dev files to build.  It looks to me that there's a build
dep missing, but I can't find any package that contains the files needed
(eg. gst/tag/tag.h.)

[Bug 33635] Epiphany downloads to wrong folder when automatically opening files

2006-03-03 Thread Phil Housley
Public bug reported:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/33635

Affects: epiphany-browser (Ubuntu)
   Severity: Normal
   Priority: (none set)
 Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
Epiphany should download files to the set downloads folder, even when it
is intending to open them automatically.  Currently (dapper) it
downloads them to /tmp instead.

The correct behaviour is described in the gconf schema for
/apps/epiphany/general/automatic_downloads:

When files cannot be opened by the browser they are automatically
downloaded to the download folder and opened with the appropriate
application.

I'm fairly sure this is a recent problem, and it seems that gconf key
(and therefore the gui option that controls it) doesn't have any effect
at all anymore.

[Bug 28786] Icons shown on desktop for non user mounts in /media

2006-02-24 Thread Phil Housley
Public bug report changed:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/28786

Comment:
Sorry for not keeping track of my reports.  The issue was mounts like
/dev/hda1  /media/hda1, as are made by the installer; semi-permanent
mounts that don't fit anywhere in particular in the file system.
However, on my current install I can't get internal drives to show at
all in nautilus, so this bug is defunct now at least.

Nautilus desktop shows icons for any drives mounted in /media,

for example.
