Same problem persists: I cannot switch layouts on the lock screen using Alt+Shift -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1218322 Title: Can't set keyboard layout change to alt+shift, ctrl+shift, etc. Status in Gnome Settings Daemon: Invalid Status in Ubuntu GNOME: Confirmed Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” source package in Saucy: Triaged Bug description: A PPA which should provide some relief for this issue is available at https://launchpad.net/~attente/+archive/1218322.

To install: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:attente/1218322 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade === gnome-control-center === Impact: the UI to change the layout switching keys doesn't work Test case: - open gnome-control-center's text input settings - click on the next layout key entry - try entering a key combinaison (e.g ctrl-space) - the UI should reflect the new keys Regression potential: that UI was not working before, it should only be an improvement (some key combos are not working as expected, that's another issue and shouldn't be mixed with this one) === gnome-settings-daemon === Impact: attempting to change keyboard layouts using only modifier keys doesn't work Test case: - add at least two input sources through gnome-control-center's text entry settings - use gsettings to set the input switching shortcut to ctrl+left shift: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-input-source ['PrimaryShift_L'] - press and release ctrl+left shift - the current input source should change Regression potential: The input switching shortcut might capture other non-modifier shortcuts, but users will need to consider this when choosing their switching shortcut anyways.

I experience the same problem as #162, after installing the patch I still cannot switch layouts using Alt+Shift in the lock screen -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1218322 Title: Can't set keyboard layout change to alt+shift, ctrl+shift, etc. Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Confirmed Status in Indicator keyboard: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu GNOME: Confirmed Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “indicator-keyboard” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Can't set keyboard layout change to ctrl+shift, Caps Lock, alt+shift etc. Shift, CapsLock keys are just ignored in settings. Also the default shortcut was set to Super+Space that is inconveniently, because Dash is opening when you swich your keyboard layout.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 294972] Re: MASTER: xorg high cpu usage, general system sluggishness
I've upgraded ubuntu on my laptop from 12.04 to 12.10. After that i noticed this bug several times. Ocasionaly Cpu usage of process /usr/bin/X ... reaches 20% level or more and all the system dehaves sluggishly. I 've created Xorg config manualy using $sudo Xorg -configure. I haven't noticed any wrong XOrg behaviour since that... so, manual configure seems helpful. Furthermore there are some options on the Card section you can play with. I hope that solves the problem dell laptop: core i5, graphics: i915 ** Attachment added: xorg.conf.new https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/294972/+attachment/3568022/+files/xorg.conf.new -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294972 Title: MASTER: xorg high cpu usage, general system sluggishness Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Sometimes Xorg is shown in htop, top, ps, etc. as having a higher than expected CPU load. Perhaps 100%, 50%, 10-20%... Higher than the 1-5% that you normally expect. Sometimes this is accompanied by general system sluggishness, sometimes the fan runs at full tilt. This is not a single specific bug but rather is a generic symptom that can be caused by a wide variety of different underlying problems. This bug report is left open just as a placeholder and point for general discussion about this class of issue. In general, MOST of the time the issue is NOT X, but rather a client program that is just out of control making X calls. X is a server and just responds to client requests as best it can. If a client app is going nuts, like making a really expensive X call every few seconds, you'll see the high CPU indicated against X, even though the problem is really the client application's poorly optimized algorithm. A troubleshooting guide for this class of problem is available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/HighCPU Usually by starting or killing various programs, daemons, services, and so on you can narrow in on what is causing the load. Remember, your high CPU is probably NOT caused by X, so figure out which application is driving X, and file a new bug against THAT package. [Original Report] After the recent upgrade to 8.10 via update-manager -d, my whole system is quite laggy. Xorg now sits at the top of the cpu usage list constantly using 10 - 20%, whereas under hardy it would sit at 1-2%. Opening programs can be at times quite slow, for instance, gedit can take 10+ seconds to open and load a txt file. Xorg.0.log seems normal enough till the end where I'll get several lines like this: AUDIT: Fri Nov 7 10:05:47 2008: 6071 X: client 4 rejected from local host ( uid=0 gid=0 pid=6545 ) System: Linux WORKSHOP 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Tue Nov 4 19:33:20 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux P4 3.4Ghz, 1 Gb RAM, Nvidia 8400gs with the 177 driver I'm not sure what other info is required, I'm sure someone will let me know... others possibly having the same issues: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=966629 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=967839 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=970714 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=965897 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/294972/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
