[Touch-packages] [Bug 1478173] Re: Ambiance & Radiance themes are missing a "background-color" for tooltip elements (needed for GTK3-enabled Firefox Nightly)
I disagree with closing this as “WORKSFORME”. Just because core Firefox plastered over the problem does not mean it's not an issue for other cases. I have at least one Firefox add-on that continues to display unreadable text because this bug causes the CSS InfoBackground and InfoText values in styles to result in white-on-white text colors. It will even affect websites that happen to style themselves in these colors (example demo: https://artific.com/library/css-2-system- colors.html). Who knows what other software might also be affected. I have just tried the patch posted here and can confirm that the issues I describe are definitely caused by this bug. The themes are clearly broken and should be fixed. An explicit background *and* foreground color should always be specified. There is no guarantee the background image/effect will be used by a given application, and relying on it is only asking for random usability problems. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-themes in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1478173 Title: Ambiance & Radiance themes are missing a "background-color" for tooltip elements (needed for GTK3-enabled Firefox Nightly) Status in One Hundred Papercuts: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu theme: In Progress Status in ubuntu-themes package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Firefox Nightlies recently became GTK3-enabled, and that uncovered an issue with Ubuntu's Ambiance & Radiance GTK3 themes. They're missing a "background-color" for the .tooltip {...} CSS rule in their config files. They have a "tooltip_bg_color" variable, which they use to set up a background-image (really a gradient), but there's no background-color.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1522675] Re: Warning messages about unsandboxed downloads
The command is lowercase “chown”, without the “(1)”. The general syntax would be “chown ”. You'll normally need superuser privileges to change owners on system files and directories, activated by adding the command “sudo” before the “chown” (separated by a space). The “(1)” refers to which section in the manual pages, or “manpages”, the command is described in. A common way to get help on a command is to run “man ”; for instance, you can execute “man chown” to get the manpage on the chown command. (To exit, type the letter q; more info here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/man) The manual pages are divided into numbered sections by categories. Occasionally, there is more than one manpage with the same name, and the section number has to be included in the “man” command to indicate which is desired (for instance, “man 1 printf” gives the page on the shell command “printf”, but “man 3 printf” gives the page on the “printf” library call for C programming). You can get a manpage on “man” itself with “man man” (or just read it online here: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man1/man.1.html). Under “DESCRIPTION”, there's a list of the manpage sections and their numbers, if you're curious. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1522675 Title: Warning messages about unsandboxed downloads Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in update-notifier package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in apt package in Debian: Fix Released Status in synaptic package in Debian: New Bug description: Recently we got new versions for synaptic 0.82+build1 & apt 1.1.3, but now get that error when installing/upgrading some packages: Setting up libc6-dbg:amd64 (2.21-0ubuntu5) ...

I hit this today, and it absolutely infuriates me. Indeed, the questions have either no valid answers or ask things I could not possibly know. And I consider myself a reasonably experienced user.
