[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1575128] Re: unity dialogues split between 2 monitors

2016-04-27 Thread Jamison Phillips
Yes.

Additional info: 
-The "Detect Displays" button in the "Displays" window shows "Built-in Display" 
and "Samsung Electric Company 27" both in the top-left corner of the left 
monitor, overlapping each other.
-I, if I remember correctly, if I do not use xrandr to nullify the panning, 
that is if I use the Display window for setting the displays, the left most 
monitor incorrectly pans to the right when the mouse reaches the right monitor 
space. So the left most monitor acts like it has both monitors' display space.

  unity dialogues split between 2 monitors

Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Since upgrading from Ubuntu 15.10 to 16.04, Unity is now shown across
  both my monitors in a hard to use manner: unity dialogues, such as the
  log-out and shutdown popups, are displayed centered between both
  monitors, so the left half is on one monitor, and the right half on
  another. Also, the unity top panel indicators and clock used to be on
  both monitors, but are now only on the right monitor.

  More info since it is likely relevant:
  I have a Dell laptop with an NVidia Prime GPU and Intel built-in GPU. This 
laptop has always been trouble configuring for dual monitors. The 
nvidia-settings controls only shows one monitor, though it is supposed to show 
two. I have never been able to get a working xorg.conf for the two monitors, 
despited 2 days of trying (and I am a software developer well versed in reading 
docs). The instructions in the nvidia docs simply don't work as stated for this 
hardware (Dell XPS 17 L702X). Purging all graphics settings doesn't help. 
Upgrading to a newer nvidia driver didn't help (I've tried the latest official 
nvidia package as well as one newer). As a result, I've been using an xrandr 
command and compiz  display settings since Ubuntu 15.10. This worked perfectly 
in 15.10. But, as stated, the unity top panel and dialogues are not working 
properly in 16.04.

  I tried Nvidia 361.42 and 364.19 from the PPA at
  http://ppa.launchpad.net/graphics-drivers/ppa/ubuntu.

  The xrandr command in use is:
  xrandr --fb 3520x1080 --output HDMI-0 --preferred --primary --mode 1920x1080 
--pos 0x0 --panning 3520x1080+0+0/3520x1080+0+0/0/0/-3520/0 --output LVDS-1 
--mode 1600x900 --pos 1920x180 --panning 0x0

  (I know the fb sets up a wide virtual screen, but as stated, in 15.10,
  that worked perfectly for unity)

  In compiz display settings I have the following "Outputs" set:
  1920x1080+0+0
  1600x900+1920+180

  It would appear in 16.04, Unity ignores the compiz outputs whereas in
  15.10 it does not. But that's just a guess.

  Sorry I cannot get a screenshot of the dialogues. They seem to block
  Ubuntu's screenshot program due to their modal nature.

2016-04-03 Thread Jamison Phillips
I found the cause and solution. The ~/.cache/thumbnails directory was
for some unknown reason not owned by my user. I fixed that and now
nautilus appears to be behaving normally. Apparently is was caught in a
loop trying to update thumbnails but could not.

Bug description:
  If I leave nautilus open to my home folder or most any folder, it uses
  25% of the cpu according to top. I've not had it open most of the
  time, but the cpu time is at 29:05 with a system up time of 17:30:21.
  That is more than twice the cpu time of Xorg and more than any other
  process in the system. I have deleted all bookmarks, just in case. If
  I navigate to a folder with only a single text document in it, the
  high cpu use stops.

  Surely this must be a bug. What is it doing? If it is scanning
  something, shouldn't the results be cached and the scanning stop after
  a while? Does nautilus try to prefetch all folders recursively or
  something?

  Also, all thumbnails in my Pictures folder show a clock or a black
  rectangle. In Ubuntu 14.04, I believe they showed thumbnail images.
  Could it be that it is trying a failing to load thumbnails?

25% of the cpu according to top. I've not had it open most of the time,
but the cpu time is at 29:05 with a system up time of 17:30:21. That is
more than twice the cpu time of Xorg and more than any other process in
the system. I have deleted all bookmarks, just in case. If I navigate to
a folder with only a single text document in it, the high cpu use stops.

Surely this must be a bug. What is it doing? If it is scanning
something, shouldn't the results be cached and the scanning stop after a
while? Does nautilus try to prefetch all folders recursively or
something?

Also, all thumbnails in my Pictures folder show a clock or a black
rectangle. In Ubuntu 14.04, I believe they showed thumbnail images.
Could it be that it is trying a failing to load thumbnails?

Title:
  high cpu usage when idle

Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If I leave nautilus open to my home folder or most any folder, it uses
  25% of the cpu according to top. I've not had it open most of the
  time, but the cpu time is at 29:05 with a system up time of 17:30:21.
  That is more than twice the cpu time of Xorg and more than any other
  process in the system. I have deleted all bookmarks, just in case. If
  I navigate to a folder with only a single text document in it, the
  high cpu use stops.

  Surely this must be a bug. What is it doing? If it is scanning
  something, shouldn't the results be cached and the scanning stop after
  a while? Does nautilus try to prefetch all folders recursively or
  something?

  Also, all thumbnails in my Pictures folder show a clock or a black
  rectangle. In Ubuntu 14.04, I believe they showed thumbnail images.
  Could it be that it is trying a failing to load thumbnails?
