[Bug 649809] Re: Meerkat (10.10) does not apply theme properly

2010-11-04 Thread Donal
No auto login here either. It happens 95% of the time.

Also the hack in #68 works for me and I haven't seen the problem since
applying it.

[Bug 649809] Re: Meerkat (10.10) does not apply theme properly

2010-11-04 Thread Donal
I'm using the nvidia binary drivers. Also using them on 2 other machines
without SSD with no problems.

When I try to change the theme in the gnome-appearance-properties only
the titlebar theme will change. Starting the gnome-settings-daemon
doesn't help until I log out and back in again. And even then only
sporadically.

The only solution that works 100% of the time is #68.

I'll add my .xsession-errors later from home.

One thing I've noticed which is way more damaging is that the .xsession-
errors and .xsession-errors.old quickly fill up my home partition by
repeatedly logging the same error. After about 15 mins the 19 gig free
space in my home partition is gone causing all sorts of problems with
software trying to save and read from their cache. Deleteing the
.xsession-errors* solves the problem until I reboot.

Ernesto. I'll try that fix at home this evening. I too am using an SSD
drive so sounds like it might be the cause.

[Bug 383927] Re: endless loading in nautilus / some files missing

2010-03-12 Thread donal
I am still getting it intermittently. Seems to now rely on large files being 
moved into the target folder. 
Switching off Nautilus Preview is the still the easiest fix.

[Bug 397192] Re: nautilus becomes non-responsive during video-playback

2010-02-02 Thread donal
After being fine since the fix was released I've got this problem back, but 
intermittently. I'm back to switching on and off Preview. It manifests slightly 
differently. With Preview switched on, in a older into which large files have 
been copied, the folder contents  may not be visible until Preview is switched 
off.
However as I said it's intermittant, and I can't nail it down exactly. I'll 
update here when I can.

[Bug 192009] Re: gnome panel has no way to specify on which screen it should appear

2009-11-19 Thread donal
In my case, I use a laptop also with external VGA.
I just installed Karmic over Intrepid.

With Karmic the laptop comes up as primary but I want the Ext. VGA as primary 
when it is plugged in. 
I've had to add a script to switch both off and reset the External as Primary 
after each restart (of which I have lot because of lots of various issues with 
karmic). The reset script only works about one third of the time, (causing 
blank screen the other two thirds).

With Intrepid the External was Primary when plugged in, (as I would expect most 
people using an external would require).
Configure Display has no option for setting this though what I would wish to 
revert to is a way to say Use External Display As Primary When Present.

[Bug 397192] Re: nautilus becomes non-responsive during video-playback

2009-11-19 Thread donal
Yes, I'm seeing a similar issue on folders which have video files.
Terminal will list the files but Nautilus will wait continuously trying to 
update the folder.

If I switch NautilusEditPreferencesPreview to Never Preview, all
files will display.

I also thought it was mainly folders where files had been copied into them, but 
I've just had it replicate on one of the main offending folders when no files 
were moved or copied, I was just changing views between various tabs on the 
different drives.
   
Changing the Minimum file preview size has no effect.
Size of file where problem is occurring for me is at least 150MB, much smaller 
than reported above.
In my case it's happening on two FAT32 external drives.

I've tried replicating with smaller (30mb) PDFs and MP3 files of
approx. 100mb but not finding it, though I've only made brief checks.

Sorry, meant to add my details in previous post. 
32-bit Ubuntu, 9.10 (fresh install over 8.10), kernel 2.6.31-14-pae-i686. 
Happening on different FAT external drives so not hardware (or filesystem) 
related. 
I'm also getting:

I have a fresh install of 8.10 and this still seems present. As far I
can I tell from the discusion here and at
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=499105page=2 that is. Tomboy
Notes keeps starting at Startup, regardless of what i do. . . However in
Intrepid there doesn't seem to be a ~/.gnome2/session file.
