[Bug 138989] Re: [Gutsy] Usability problems in gnome-volume-control

2009-03-15 Thread edschofield
gnome-volume-control is vastly improved in Jaunty. The Volume Control
Preferences menu now lists whether each 'track' pertains to Playback,
Recording, Switches, or Options.

The Alsa mixer still has too many options in the Preferences menu for my
on-board Intel audio hardware (see below). See the attached screenshot.
Input Source is listed three times, and Capture, Capture 1, and
Capture 2 are indistinguishable to me. (The UI also gives me no clue
about what the IEC958 tracks are ...)

With kernel 2.6.28-ubuntu9, lspci -vv gives:

If I open an upstream bug report, should this be against alsa or gnome-
volume-control?

2009-03-13 Thread edschofield
I was wrong. Not only is this not fixed, it is not even consistent in
Hardy.

- Checking and unchecking various checkboxes in the Volume Control
Preferences dialog causes additional sliders to appear in the Playback,
Recording and Options tabs somewhat randomly. For example, after some
fiddling with the Input Source checkboxes in Preferences, between one
and three Input Source text fields appear in the Options tab, all
indistinguishable but apparently controlling different channels.
Unclearing the Input Source checkboxes in Preferences does not remove
the entries reliably.

- Other usability bugs are present, like the Preferences dialog having
checkboxes for not only the expected Line-in, Front Mic,
Microphone, but also IEC958 Capture, Capture, Capture 1,
Capture 2, and three identical Input Source entries. The hardware
itself doesn't appear to have more than the first three input-related
sockets.

I'll test this on Jaunty, as Lionel requested...

[Bug 138989] Re: [Gutsy] Usability problems in gnome-volume-control

2009-03-12 Thread edschofield
ethanay: I was the OP. With the same hardware as before, under Hardy
(gnome-volume-control 2.22.0, alsa 1.0.16-0ubuntu4):

- I now see only one Input Source box in the Options tab (even though the 
Preferences box contains three checked Input Source checkboxes).
- The same is true for the Capture slider in the Recording tab: there is only 
one, even if all three of Capture, Capture 1, and Capture 2 are checked 
in the Preferences box.
- There are no more erroneous status bar messages.

So I'm happy now -- but you're still seeing these issues? Shall we re-
open the bug report? Could you perhaps test a Jaunty alpha live CD, like
Lionel suggested? And open an upstream bug report if it's still there?

[Bug 131169] [Gutsy] Move to Another Workspace has no effect

2007-08-08 Thread edschofield
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: metacity

Right-clicking a window's title bar and choosing Move to Another
Workspace has no effect for me in Gutsy. This is true for all
applications (not just Synaptic as in bug 36443). Choosing Move to
Workspace Left or ... Right works as expected. This has been the case
since I first upgraded to Gutsy about two months ago. I'm surprised I'm
the first person to report it so far.

Compiz is disabled. I have no proprietary kernel modules loaded (only
proprietary firmware for the bcm43xx wireless driver). My graphics
hardware is Intel G965 / X3000 at 1680x1050 resolution. I suspect this
is a Metacity bug, but I don't know which log files to look at to get
more information on the problem. Any ideas?

Ah, libflashplayer.so appears in the stack trace, so a likely culprit is
my Adobe plugin. (But after removing libflash0c2, libflash-swfplayer,
and libflash-mozplugin, I can't reproduce the crash. Perhaps these
conflict with the Adobe plugin. Damned Flash.)

Epiphany-browser still has the following bug, IMHO: it allows a buggy
plugin to crash the epiphany process. Could it be made more robust
against rogue plugins?

2006-10-11 Thread edschofield
Sorry Jani, didn't see your comment before. I can't see any other Edgy-
specific bug reports in LP that are fixed by 1.7.1. But 1.7.1 does fix a
long list of bugs reported in bugzilla.gnome.org, as the release notes
describe.

If we keep 1.7.0 in for Edgy, it's only a matter of time before more of
those bugs get re-discovered by Edgy users. Then the fixes that 1.7.1
comprises will need to be applied individually, in response to specific
reports about bugs that we know exist, wasting the time of users and
developers.

The only packages that depend on gnumeric are

  gnumeric-doc
  gnumeric-plugins-extra
  beagle

so the risk of breakage seems very limited. :)

I'd still be interested to know why the upstream fontconfig developers 
substitute the URW Nimbus fonts for Adobe Times etc rather than substituting 
the free UCS outline fonts (FreeSerif, FreeSans etc.)  I think these are closer 
to the Adobe fonts, and look very respectable (see the screenshot above, dated

[Bug 31596] [Dapper] Text is not rendered properly

2006-03-21 Thread edschofield
Public bug report changed:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/31596

Comment:
Actually, it seems that fonts.conf supplied with the upstream fontconfig
package does something similar, substituting the URW Nimbus fonts for
Times, Helvetica, and Courier, but that the Ubuntu package comments
these lines out.  See
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/fontconfig/fontconfig_2.3.2-1.1ubuntu5.diff.gz

I don't know the rationale behind the Ubuntu fontconfig package
maintainer's decision to do this, but this is the cause of the incorrect
fonts in e.g. evince.

The removed lines from the above diff are:
 !--
-  URW provides metric and shape compatible fonts for these 3 Adobe families.
-  --
-alias
- familyTimes/family
- acceptfamilyNimbus Roman No9 L/family/accept
-   /alias
-alias
- familyHelvetica/family
- acceptfamilyNimbus Sans L/family/accept
-   /alias
-alias
- familyCourier/family
- acceptfamilyNimbus Mono L/family/accept
-   /alias
-

One further note --- restoring these lines fixes these three fonts, but
not the substitution for the Adobe Symbol font:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ fc-match Symbol
DejaVuSans.ttf: DejaVu Sans Book

This causes evince to render PDF documents with non-embedded Symbol characters 
(such as mathematical papers) incorrectly, as in the attached screenshot.  So I 
would also recommend making a Symbol substitution such as
alias
familySymbol/family
acceptfamilyStandard Symbols L/family/accept
/alias
or an equivalent.

Description:
Changing icon theme from Clearlooks to Ubuntu Human in Dapper makes the
colours in gnome-panel and some menu bars (such as in GNOME Terminal) go
psychedelic, as if the colour map is wrong.  Screenshot attached.

I was able to solve this problem by following Sebastien Bacher's advice
in response to another bug (#23162):

running sudo gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/hicolor
restarting gnome-panel
and then
restarting all running GTK applications with crazy colours

but this is more effort than it should be.  Could Breezy upgraders with
a window theme like Clearlooks experience this when they try to change
to Human, or will the appropriate caches be refreshed automatically?

Comment:
I can confirm this on my desktop too.  Note that even though the Take a
screenshot key is initially assigned to Print, and Alt-Print is
assigned to take a screenshot for the current window, neither worked for
me initially (hence the attempt to fix it using Keyboard Shortcuts).

My keyboard is possibly strange in this regard: the Print screen key
is shared with Sys req, with one printed on top of the other.  The
Keyboard Shortcuts applet recognizes Shift Print, but using both Alt
and Shift together with Print is registered as Shift Alt
Sys_Req...

Mark Shuttleworth, in person!  You're doing a fine service to the world
by sponsoring and being so personally involved in Ubuntu.

Anyway ... the bug.  I haven't been able to reproduce it since
restarting.  So we can probably close it as a non-issue...

[Bug 31596] [Dapper] Text is not rendered properly

Adding the following lines to fonts.conf solves the problem:

  Alias well known Type1 font names to metric-equivalent TrueType fonts

acceptfamilyStandard Symbols L/family/accept
/alias

I think these fonts are metrically equivalent to the Adobe fonts.  The
alias for Symbol is necessary for some PDF files that use Times-
compatible math fonts without embedding them.

After this change, the command
fc-match Times
gives:
FreeSerif.ttf: FreeSerif Medium
instead of:
VeraSe.ttf: Bitstream Vera Serif Roman.
Then the svn-book.pdf file that Vincent Trouilliez identified as a problem 
looks fine under evince, as do the others I've tested.  

I don't think it's necessary to substitute the Microsoft equivalents of
these fonts (like SUSE does), even if the msttcorefonts package is
installed.  Substituting Times New Roman for Times, in particular, look
worse than substituting FreeSerif in my humble opinion.  See attached
screenshots.

Comment:

The bug is still present as of 2006-03-07.  It seems to occur with PDF files 
that use fonts such as Times Roman without embedding them.  Here is an example:

www.latex-project.org/papers/xo-pfloat.pdf

Dapper's fontconfig seems to substitute Bitstream Charter here for
Times; hence the incorrect letter spacing.
