[Bug 190848] Re: font in terminal does not resemble font in preview

2008-04-15 Thread Tolan Blundell
Whether it's a bug or intentional upstream Ubuntu ships with sub-pixel
rendering so the Ubuntu version should ship with a version of gnome-
terminal with it enabled. This bug keeps coming back too, it was in
Dapper and Edgy if I remember correctly.

I have it with a Gutsy box upgraded to Hardy by the way, so it's not
specific to new installs.

2007-07-22 Thread Tolan Blundell
Do these changes only take effect after the drive is manually remounted
(via hotplug for USB devices I presume)? If so this should probably be
made clear also. The layout of the tab implied to me that gnome would do
whatever was necessary to make the change when I close the dialogue.

[Bug 24280] Re: [Theme Manager] No installation option for system wide themes, difference is not communicated in the user interface

2007-06-24 Thread Tolan Blundell
Perhaps you could try not assuming everyone is an idiot.

I never said sudo changed the theme, my point was that *from the point
of view of the user*, code run through sudo, such as GTK, should act as
though it is being run by the session user, not the current GID/UID, for
all things except permissions. The purpose of sudo is usually to gain
the permissions of another user, not to 'be' that user.

So yes GTK should not set the theme based on UID/GID.

2007-06-23 Thread Tolan Blundell
Themes should be applied per session or login user not per uid. The
person sat in front of the keyboard can reasonably expect to see the
theme they set whether they are using a normal application or an
application run through a privilege escalation tool. Sudo should you to
do things with the root user's privileges, it should not 'make' you the
root user. For example the following:

sudo ls ~

Lists my user's home directory, not that of root.

[Bug 62593] Re: Does not display alarms until I start evolution

2006-09-27 Thread Tolan Blundell
Evolution alarm notify should really start on log-in. The gnome panel
clock/calendar shows these events, for them not to actually trigger an
alarm just because you haven't opened the app that edits them seems
pretty poor, surely this is one of the major arguments for e-d-s?

This behaviour is also broken for me on Dapper.

I've filed a related bug about this, and there's one on Gnome's bugzilla
too:

[Bug 60547] user-installed themes do no show up on apps run via gksu et al

2006-09-15 Thread Tolan Blundell
Public bug reported:

Because the gnome-theme-manager doesn't require root privileges, themes
that are installed through it are only installed for the current user.

This leads to any application requiring root privileges being displayed
in the very ugly default Gnome theme.

As a 'power user' I can launch gnome-theme-manager via sudo from the
shell and install the theme there as well, but a new user will have no
idea that they have to do this, and it's counter-intuitive.

Perhaps apps run via sudo/gksu etc could default to human if the
currently selected theme isn't installed, or perhaps there could be an
'admin theme'. This might have the added advantage of giving a clear
visual clue to which apps are running under admin priv's.

Just to clarify my second para. Apps run via gksudo revert to the

[Bug 57318] evolution-alarm-notify does not start on session start

2006-08-22 Thread Tolan Blundell
Public bug reported:

The evolution-alarm-notify daemon is not started automatically on login
to Gnome. It only starts after Evolution itself is started.

This is a problem because it means that if you don't start Evolution you
can miss an appointment.

I believe it is reasonable for an end user to expect these notifications
without starting Evolution, as the Gnome panel clock/calendar show EDS
calendar events without Evolution running.

Wouldn't adding it to gnome-session make sense? I believe other gnome

[Bug 31517] Re: hal-device-manager does not load

2006-08-17 Thread Tolan Blundell
I've finally found what was kicking this off, though I think it's more a
symptom than a cause.

I had SMB shares auto-mounting. Removing them from fstab fixed the
problem, lshal now gives output and update-notifier now works.

From the variety of fixes that have worked for people it looks to me
like something in the start-scripts for hal is being brittle...

[Bug 31517] Re: hal-device-manager does not load

2006-07-17 Thread Tolan Blundell
It seems that people shouldn't have to be manually creating and deleting
user accounts to get HAL working. I also have this problem and I'm happy
enough to fix it manually, but really the symptoms here should be fixed
as well as the original problem.

It takes about 10 minutes for my Dapper box to boot and once it does I
get no auto-mounting of USB and whatnot.

Some debug:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lshal
error: libhal_ctx_init: (null): (null)
Could not initialise connection to hald.
 Normally this mean the HAL daemon (hald) is not running or not ready.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart
Password:
 * Stopping Hardware abstraction layer hald  [ ok ]
 * Stopping system message bus dbus  [ ok ]
 * Starting system message bus dbus  [ ok ]
 * Starting Hardware abstraction layer hald

[ **Hangs here for ages** ]

run-parts: /etc/dbus-1/event.d/20hal exited with return code 2


It really strikes me that as a fix has been released for this but people are 
still having the problem that it's not fixed, so I'm going to be cheeky and 
re-open it, sorry..
