[Bug 1792085] Re: MTP not working/very slow on Bionic

2019-09-06 Thread willdeans
How is this not fixed a year later?  Whatever people are working on for
the next release that they feel is sexy I hate it.  Instead please fix
bugs which make the existing system unusable.  Then you will be my hero.

[Bug 882307] Re: [list-view] After copying text from a rename entry, file copy menus items are broken

2013-07-18 Thread willdeans
Going on two years and this bug isn't fixed in Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS \n \l
Linux deans2068 3.5.0-36-generic #57~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 20 18:21:09 
UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Or course this could be a new bug with paste grayed out but a new bug
report was entered and was marked as a duplicate of this one  (see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/949468)  so
others seem to think it is the same root problem.

If someone wants to release a new feature I would highly suggest quality
control.  When copy/paste doesn't work it is hard to tell people how
great this product is.

[Bug 1193850] [NEW] gnome-screensaver exposes sensitive data

2013-06-23 Thread willdeans
*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

People depend heavily on the lock screen (rightfully or wrongfully) to
prevent others from seeing sensitive data.  gnome-screensaver can easily
expose this sensitive data.

Example:

During day:
1.  Network boot Ubuntu into GUI
2.  Open sensitive document
3.  CTRL-ALT-F[1-6] and use a TTY
4.  Logout of TTY and attend meeting
5.  Go home an hour later

At this point a user has a reasonable expectation of his or her
sensitive document being secure believing a password (or physical access
to server) will be needed to see the sensitive information.

At night:
6.  Record screen with mobile
7.  CTRL-ALT-F7 (the document will briefly be displayed before the lock screen)
8.  CTRL-ALT-F[1-6] back to the original TTY to hide your tracks
9.  Go frame by frame through the video to retrieve the sensitive information

I wouldn't call this an enhancement because I spoke to several users and
ALL of them had the expectation their data would not be visible.  People
were especially sensitive to the reading of private chat sessions.
Users didn't expect just anyone could go from cubical to cubical at
night secretly exposing screens.  Whenever a user has a screen lock the
locking application needs to ensure contents of the screen won't be
visible after the lockout time.  If it is really so hard to clear the
contents of the screen then turn off output of the video card when the
user hits CTRL-ALT-F7 until the sensitive data is gone.

[Bug 1193163] [NEW] /etc/shadow owned by root:root after 8.04.x--10.04.x--12.04.2 LTS upgrade

2013-06-20 Thread willdeans
Public bug reported:

I upgraded from 8.04.x--10.04.x--12.04.2 LTS, removed Unity (and
friends), installed Gnome and found /etc/shadow owned by root:root
(though I don't know exactly how it came to be)

This causes a problem because the lock screen will tell you that your
correct password is incorrect.  The lock screen shouldn't tell you that
your correct password is incorrect (confusing lies).  Instead it should
inform you /etc/shadow is owned by other-than root:shadow (helpful
truth).

[Bug 350174] Re: metacity process uses 100% CPU

2013-02-07 Thread willdeans
For me metacity uses 100% CPU because Wireless Network Authentication
Required boxes appear every few minutes? and never go away (unless
manually closed).  Eventually there are hundreds? of them and metacity
uses 100% CPU dealing with them.

You might not notice them if they appear on a different virtual desktop
than the one you are using or if the bar showing your currently running
applications is hidden or if the number of windows is so large they only
appear a few pixels wide in the task bar or if you accessing your
system via ssh or any other such reason.

In my mind this is a metacity bug but I am sure others would argue with
me that what I want is a feature enhancement.  Why doesn't metacity
restrict its CPU utilization on a per-client bases so that a single
misbehaving application cannot bring down the system?  Misbehaving
applications are AN EXPECTED behavior.  If there was some [high]
burstable quota this wouldn't be an issue.  If the quota is met and the
application is throttled an indicator applet could allow the user to
change/remove the quota for the application.

[Bug 500747] Re: gdmsetup errors : key not found

2009-12-27 Thread willdeans
I am also getting key not found errors.  I did a fresh install of 9.10
i386 a few hours ago.  Although I do not know for certain the problems
are related must inform you that I removed many packages which I
believed were not needed as soon as the Ubuntu installer completed.  I
then ssh -Xed in and then ran DISPLAY=:0.0 gdmsetup to turn on
autologin but found I could not.  Perhaps I somehow removed some needed
package for gdmsetup but if so gdmsetup should have had a dependency
of the package to alert me!  gdmsetup also should have had a
dependency on the needed package(s) so that I could simply reinstall
gdmsetup and the needed packages would come along with it.  I will be
happy to provide all the logs/etc that you request.  Below is the
gdmsetup output:

[Bug 500780] [NEW] Super (Windows Key) alone in keyboard shortcuts now broken.

2009-12-27 Thread willdeans
Public bug reported:

I am unable to assign the Windows-Key (Super L) alone to an action in the 
Keyboard Shortcuts Application (gnome-keybinding-properties) as previously 
possible.  I am only able to assign MOD4+? (windows key + another key).  I 
understand there was previously a bug #12153 where people were rightly upset 
they couldn't assign the windows key in conjunction with another key to a 
shortcut.  Fixing this bug appears to have created another bug whereby now it 
is impossible to assign the windows key alone using the gnome control panel.  
There is no good reason why we should lose the ability to assign an action to 
the windows key alone (Super L) if the user does not require any windows key 
combination (MOD4+?) keyboard shortcuts.  Of course I am very happy using the 
Windows key as a modifier is fixed (thank you) but this is not an either-or 
situation and the old functionality is clearly broken.  If you don't want to 
think of it as Super_L is broken then please consider this bug as MOD4+NOTHING 
is broken.  In fact, if you think of this as MOD4+NOTHING is broken then you 
can have both MOD4+? keyboard shortcuts and a MOD4+NOTHING shortcut as 
MOD4+NOTHING is detected on key_up unlike Super_L which is detected on 
key_down.
