[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1808344] [NEW] Various bugs printing pdf files

2018-12-13 Thread John Skottis
Public bug reported:

I want to report multiple issues encountered so far on Ubuntu 18.10
regarding printing PDF files.

My configuration:
- Computer: Dell XPS 15 9530
- OS: Ubuntu 18.10
- Printer: Samsung M2825ND Xpress Mono Laser Printer
- PDF Readers Tested: Various (Evince, Foxit, Okular)
- PDF Creator Tested: Word, LibreOffice, GhostScript, PDFTex, Acrobat PDFMaker, 
...
- PDF Sizes Tested: Various
- PDF Versions Tested: Various


Issues:
- Printing 1 page per physical page encounter a lot problems while printing 2 
pages per physical page produces issues less often
- Sometimes playing around with print setting (such as scaling, centering) 
solves the issue sometimes it creates it and sometimes does nothing 
- Printing calc file directly from LibreOffice is not possible

Error:
- PCL-6 error (don't remember the exact code right now but can provide it if 
needed)

Notes:
- My guess is that this is an error related to the printer drivers but since I 
don't have another printer to test on can't verify.
- Another guess is that the PDF produces PDF that use feature that are not 
properly handled on linux
- Turning Markdown text to PDF using PDFlatex causes a printing error whereas 
turning the same Markdown to html and printing through Chrome causes no issue
- If you need more logs please instruct me what I need to to help

Well is does appear to solve the problem with the lag but then there is
high battery drain and the fans won't stop spinning which is also
undesireable

Bug description:
  I am on an Dell xps 9530 laptop and I had recently cleaned installed
  17.10. A few days back I decided to updated to 18.04 to check it out
  and report some bugs. The most annoying bug so far is the insane
  amount of input latency this update has brought with it to a degree
  that it makes it impossible to be productive. The issue is observable
  when using either the mouse or the keyboard. The mouse does not move
  immediately but it needs a second or two to register and start moving
  and even then at some point it freezes for half a second at some
  random point and then moves again. Also if I have two applications
  side by side and I try an move focus from one to the next at around
  the edges of each window the mouse freezes for a second and then
  moves. The keyboard freezes if it hasn't been used for a while and on
  the first keystroke will take a second to register and for a bonus you
  get the first keystorke repeated for around 15-30 times. So if you are
  trying to write "and" will become "aaand" or pressing
  "ctrl + T" in the browser will open not one but 20 tabs!

  I am reporting it here cause I am not sure what is causing all this
  latency (it could be libinput or something else entirely) but please
  try and fix this as soon as possible!!

I should note however that the problem is less noticeable today, maybe

Title:
  Input latency in 18.04

Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I am on an Dell xps 9530 laptop and I had recently cleaned installed
  17.10. A few days back I decided to updated to 18.04 to check it out
  and report some bugs. The most annoying bug so far is the insane
  amount of input latency this update has brought with it to a degree
  that it makes it impossible to be productive. The issue is observable
  when using either the mouse or the keyboard. The mouse does not move
  immediately but it needs a second or two to register and start moving
  and even then at some point it freezes for half a second at some
  random point and then moves again. Also if I have two applications
  side by side and I try an move focus from one to the next at around
  the edges of each window the mouse freezes for a second and then
  moves. The keyboard freezes if it hasn't been used for a while and on
  the first keystroke will take a second to register and for a bonus you
  get the first keystorke repeated for around 15-30 times. So if you are
  trying to write "and" will become "aaand" or pressing
  "ctrl + T" in the browser will open not one but 20 tabs!

  I am reporting it here cause I am not sure what is causing all this
  latency (it could be libinput or something else entirely) but please
  try and fix this as soon as possible!!

I have also tried using it without extensions but the issue still
remains but I haven't tried using it with xorg because it causes other
issues for me especially with hidpi scaling

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1713323] Re: HiDPI support partially broken after upgrade to Gnome 3.25

2017-09-14 Thread John Skottis
Also if you add a second monitor scaling is stuck at the default of the
first screen and cannot be changed to anything else.

Note:

I am using a laptop with a 15 inch screen and 3200 x 1800 resolution
with a second monitor with a 25 inch screen with 2560 x 1440 resolution.
The primary monitor is the 25 inch and there is a scaling of 200%
applied to the 15 inch. The scaling on the 25inch cannot be changed back
to 100% and therefore the side bar looks enormous

Title:
  HiDPI support partially broken after upgrade to Gnome 3.25

Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After an upgrade this morning that took in the new version of this
  package, and a suite of gnome-session/gnome-settings packages, which
  may also be implicated, support for scaling on HiDPI screens seems to
  have partially failed. Partially.

  BTW I invoked the bug reporter with "ubuntu-bug ubuntu-session" but
  when I got to the launchpad page it had pre-filled "gnome-session".
  One presumes there's a reason for that so I've left it, especially as
  this does affect "GNOME" as well as "Ubuntu" sessions. But I do note a
  settings migrations utility in ubuntu-session which I wonder if it
  might be implicated. (TBH looking at it it's not obvious why, though
  it does reset scaling - that's not the problem, the problem is that it
  can't be set back to a combination that works.)

  Reminder all the stuff I'm reporting below as being wrongly-scaled was
  scaled correctly before the update that just took place. Enpass got a
  little help from having some QT env variables set, but that's it.

  Logging in under session "Ubuntu" (Wayland - on a different machine as
  this one being nvidia doesn't support it) or session "Ubuntu on Xorg"
  - also affects GNOME sessions:

  * The fonts in the top bar, and the menus and indicators accessible
  from there, are unscaled. The indicator icons *are* scaled correctly.

  * The fonts in the applications view are unscaled, but the icons and
  layout *are* scaled correctly.

  * Menu titlebar *text* is unscaled. close/minimize/maximize widgets
  *are* scaled correctly, as is the titlebar's size itself.

  * The mouse pointer is unscaled.

  * Non-Gnome apps, either QT or GTK (examples: enpass, nextcloud-
  client, hexchat, sublime text 3) are unscaled, or in some cases are a
  bit confused, with some elements correctly scaled, but again fonts are
  not.

  * Also on a personal note, Java 9 JavaFX apps are no longer scaled.
  (In Java 8 it was already broken; I was targeting Java 9 with my
  development partly *because* its HiDPI support was working in Linux.)
  FYI Java 9 JavaFX uses GTK3, Java 8 uses GTK2.

  ## What is working:

  * Gnome apps (eg: Terminal, Transmission, Settings, Tweaks, Nautilus,
  Gedit etc. etc.) are all fine. Although note those that use a "normal"
  titlebar (eg: Terminal) rather than an integrated one (eg: Nautilus)
  show small titlebar text as mentioned above

  * Google Chrome, Thunderbird, Firefox are fine (although the latter
  two aren't being updated for Artful yet, just sayin' ;-)

  ## What happens if I try to fix it:

  gsettings org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor appears to no
  longer be operational. Changing its value from 0 (default), 1 and 2
  appears to have no effect on anything any more. It used to be setting
  it to 2 fixed the few things that weren't right by having it set to
  0... Correction, that *does* fix it for Java 9 JavaFX, it must be
  reading that setting directly. But nothing else reported as broken
  above is affected by changing this setting. Nor in fact does setting
  it to 1 cause gnome apps to be unscaled.

  gsettings org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-size is working. I can
  set it to 48, double its normal size, to get back normal-sized cursors
  when the pointer is over newly-launched applications. But that's
  obviously a workaround.

  gsettings org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor set to 2.0,
  also exposed in Gnome Tweaks, unsurprisingly makes text twice as
  large. That "fixes" it for the applications that are reported as being
  unscaled above, but it also doubles the size of text in gnome apps as
  well, so those are now far too large for the windows they're in.
  Google Chrome is unaffected by this, as is Java 9 JavaFX, but
  Thunderbird *is* affected.

  I noticed a new gsetting: com.ubuntu.user-interface scale-factor, but
  it seems to have a nonsense-value "@a{si} {}". I have no idea if this
  is anything in use or if it was an intended Unity 8 thing. I didn't
  try anything with it.
