Does this mean it's fixed or someone just pushed the ignore pesky users button again? I see no new Nautilus updates since last week. Does this mean 14.10's version will be improved?

You may also want to try installing XFCE's Thunar which appears to have similar scrollbar behavior to old Nautilus.

[Bug 1205055] Re: Impossible to change column width of Nautilus in list view
Hmm. I just experimented with your problem here and notice that if the window is not wide enough in list view, you cannot stretch the contents of the Name field past the Questions: Do you get the double arrow - cursor when you hover over the | divider between the Name and Size fields? If you get the double arrow, Can you then hold the left button and drag to the left to make the Name field *smaller*? ...and then does dragging it back to the right work until the contents of the Modified column hits the right side of the window? I just checked and see that e.g. Nautilus 2.32 from GNOME 2.x would allow stretching the Name column to the right and beyond, creating a horizontal scrollbar. It appears that horizontal scrollbars are gone from Nautilus/Files 3.8.2. Maybe that is what you're missing? If so that appears to have been another GNOME simplification (see also the enforced spatial Nautilus controversy of a decade ago or the We've Decided You Must Have a Clock And It Must Be Centered In Your Top Panel of GNOME 3). Possible workarounds: * You can 'emulate' the horizontal scrollbar behavior clumsily by dragging the window around and stretching it wider than the screen (drag it so left edge hangs off left edge of screen, then widen to right, then drag the whole window back and forth. * For long paths, you can turn off the Location column under Visible Columns in the v dropdown menu, and have something close to every other operating system's behavior where the current path is just shown in the navigation bar for the window. I agree that more of a 'split line' view for search results would be great, so the full path could show below the items returned, or developers could bring back the 'caret'/'indented' sort of expanding tree view naturally indicating the parent directories - which I miss greatly when not searching, too. (I'm guessing the old code for that 'broke' at some point during the Nautilus rewrite or it would not have gone away.) And I agree that it was kind of ridiculous to get rid of horizontal scrolling entirely, especially now that mouse wheels with left/right tilt are common, but I'm guessing they conflicted visually with the sticky note that has replaced the status bar to see the size and item count for the selected item. Which is sort of redundant in list view where Size is a column by default.

Resizing columns doesn't seem to be a problem for me with Nautilus 3.8.2 on 13.10 x86-64 as just released (for the Name and Size fields - Type and Modified are apparently 'wide enough' and not adjustable), but I'm experiencing something potentially related: Intermittently, the Type and Modified columns do not respond to a click to sort by that column.

I haven't fiddled with any of the gconf settings, I did go in and tell Totem I have 1.5Mbps T1/Intranet/LAN (which is true, 1.5mbit/s ATT DSL - though that does mean it craps out just shy of a full 1.5mbits after PPP and line overhead).

[Bug 509079] Re: nautilus has tabs on bottom
This is intentional from the Nautilus crew: http://arstechnica.com/open-source/reviews/2010/01/ubuntu-1004-alpha-2-brings-pitivi-panel-changes.ars I'll chime in because I agree it's a bit gratuitously different and likely to confuse users who have managed to get familiar with browser tabs. It would seem most obvious to put the tabs above the path widget, so that the path widget is a component of each tab (the Chrome approach, you could call it). That would make the path 'bounce' visually when going from a view with no tabs to tabs, but I doubt it would be that bothersome. [And if this attracts attention, I think an even more pressing papercut is that, tabs or panes or spatial, it's still quite hard to distinguish between /extremely/long/path/to/something and /media/mountpoint/extremely/long/path/to/something in the common case of working with copies.

Just lost a day to this myself (though my fault for not keeping backups). A permissions (or configuration, I suppose) error anywhere in the gconf hierarchy can turn this up.

(After numerous attempts to reinstall and reconfigure all related packages, I was hunting for lockfiles...) IIRC it looks like fresh installs (or 100% fresh installs of gconf) may not include /etc/gconf/2/path at all (or delete it?), so the wrong permissions from whatever package installs /var/lib/gconf/debian.defaults may only turn up for upgrading users. -- GDM fails to authenticate pre-existent users. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/432492 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 33002] Re: logout dialog UI objections
If this amateur UI nerd can throw into the fray... Part of the problem is the decision to make a switch to a full dialog from a pulldown menu. Presumably this is inspired by a desire for consistency with Windows. The irony is, within the various Gnome metaphors, what's needed is an inverse of the Windows 'Start' menu -- that is, a rapidly-accessed 'Exit' menu that details all the various ways to depart a session. There's been some haphazard rearranging of these features in recent GUIs; first the Mac had its shutdown item buried in a menu; some subset of followon GUIs moved it to a more-easily-located dedicated widget when 'docks' and 'launchers' became popular. Then came Windows 9x, with the Start menu, OS X with the tweak in concept for their Apple menu, and fast-user-switching on both of the big remaining personal computing platforms standardizing on the upper-right corner. ... What I see is the germ of a pretty damn good idea here; the 'exit' icon, while initially unfamiliar (as hieroglyphs always are), is an appropriate categorization for all these 'You are about to invoke a dramatic switch in mode' options. Why have FUS in one widget and logout and shutdown buried elsewhere, when they're all related to session management and the user may still be decision-making while invoking the menu or dialog? Also, for whatever weird confluence of reasons, the positional consistency for 'close button' has moved from upper left to upper right in the past decade, so there's some familiarity for the average MS migrant there. That's the good part. The bad part is making it a full blocking dialog when it doesn't deserve to be. A dropdown combining the FUS list with shutdown and logout options is much more easily dismissed (by 'clicking off' to change focus) when invoked accidentally, no 'Cancel' or 'exit' item needed, and no consideration of focus required. Only destructive selections (a full logout or shutdown) then deserve a blocking confirmation dialog when selected to prove the user's really sure. This probably amounts to wishlisting a *third* rewrite of the whole functionality; I haven't seen Gnome's official approach yet, and bumped into Ubuntu's current direction in the past day or two. I can also appreciate that the existing approach is probably guaranteed to survive across GNOME/KDE/XFCE distributions, while a panel applet that does more of the heavy lifting itself rather than invoking another X client might not, but such is life. (Off-topic, but when it comes to panel layout and use of screen corners, I like to put the window list applet in the top left. This bumps the Applications menu out of that spot, but serves my need for OS/2 Warpcenter nostalgia and is a bit more convenient than strafing desktops or sliding along the Windows-style switcher. The changing icon also provides a cute and consistently-placed reminder of what has focus without having to visually interpret a messy desktop. Since 'preferred' applications wind up with their own launcher icons anyway, far from screen corners, anyone higher-up want to try this for a while and decide if it's worth considering as a basic UI feature?) -- logout dialog UI objections https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/33002 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
