[Bug 12153] Re: Cannot use Windows key in keyboard shortcuts

2009-09-08 Thread Aidan Fitzpatrick
Sebastien

Upstream suggested it's an issue in xkeyboard-config _if_ the
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/pc file provided didn't work.

I have just tested the file that Sergey attached to the upstream and it
works perfectly.

I think it's reasonable to assume the problem is our xkeyboard-config
symbols/pc files are out of date.

Frustratingly, both the default file on Jaunty and the newer, working
file that Sergey sent have the same timestamp: // $XFree86:
xc/programs/xkbcomp/symbols/pc,v 1.9 2003/06/09 19:59:46 dawes Exp $

How can we get the distro symbols/pc file updated?

2009-09-08 Thread Aidan Fitzpatrick
Sebastien

I've just installed Karmic Alpha 5 under VirtualBox 3.0.4: it is even
more broken.

It recognises left Windows key + R as Alt + R (Alt + R comes up as
Alt + R, too).

It recognises right Windows key as ISO Level 3 Shift and won't accept
a modifier.

The XKB xprop settings are the same as on Jaunty.

Maybe this is an artefact of VirtualBox's key mapping, rather than a new
problem? I hope so.

2009-09-04 Thread Aidan Fitzpatrick
The second upstream bug I created has run its course:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=579658

Suggestion is that the symbols/pc file is out of date. I will test this
on my Jaunty. Others, how does it work for you?

Remember NOT to use Super is mapped to Win keys when testing this.
That is a workaround... which we already know works, but which causes
other problems. I'm trying to get Windows shortcut keys working out of
the box.

[Bug 236114] Re: the ftp backend doesn't handle server with limited access correctly

2009-08-07 Thread Aidan Fitzpatrick
As I understand it, the problem is that Nautilus doesn't show the
default directory on FTP login, leaving the user to guess their path.
The upstream fixed a problem whereby the user wouldn't be able to enter
their path, once guessed... so I guess we've got a workaround.

As the upstream (can't access non-listed (hidden) ftp directory) is
marked as resolved fixed (last comment is: the patch doesn't solve
the 'Nautilus starts in home directory' problem, but it allows to
manually cd into readable directories using the location bar now.) I
suspect we need to prod upstream or raise another. I shall ask.

[Bug 12153] Re: Cannot use Windows key in keyboard shortcuts

2009-06-22 Thread Aidan Fitzpatrick
Great comment, Sam. This is getting complicated. Can I propose a simple
solution?

In comment 103 of this I described the original upstream bug:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165343

The maintainer insist it's fixed but I disagreed, so I opened another
against libgnomekbd as per his suggestion:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=579658

Neither one seems to have gone anywhere.

PROBLEM: We can't bind-meta key combinations out of the box without
changing configuration and getting unpleasant side-effects.

OBSERVATION: Compiz' CCSM tool captures the right keys perfectly out of
the box.

SOLUTION: Delete the code in GNOME keyboard settings and replace it with
CCSM code.

Perhaps I'm overlooking some huge technical complexity here, and maybe
God kills a kitten every time the CCSM code is run, but really... it
better be a big kitten for us not to use it. I'm sure the right fix
involves patching libgnomekbd and blah blah blah but life is too short.
And 4 years of open bug is too long.

Sergio, thanks for your comments.

I have just tried the laptop again in scenario #2 with the release 9.04
as described, and it appeared to undock and redock without incident. I
don't have the time to work through each of the scenarios at the moment,
but I will get back to this bug when I do.

I'll leave it as incomplete, but would be interested to hear from

[Bug 36189] Re: Applets do not scale well with changing resolution

2009-04-24 Thread Aidan Fitzpatrick
I think the problem _is_ how the panel behaves when it is resized. Have
a look at the first comments.

There's a workaround with gconf which makes the panel's handling much
more graceful, but this is analogous to Windows users having to edit the
registry to be able to change resolutions nicely. It doesn't make sense.

I thought David's comment #30 was pretty spot-on, and I see this as:

1. Exposing the gconf positioning controls through the user-interface,
or finding a way to infer what they should be

2. Not breaking them when resizing (or adding new controls, as per
Sandro's point)

Yes -- broken on Hardy, Intrepid and Jaunty. Changing Super is mapped
to Win keys fixes it.

Is this really an issue for GNOME now, rather than a default
configuration issue with Ubuntu?

I don't see how bug #1 will ever get fixed with this one open. It's
nothing to do with unusual keyboards: it's something trivial, used by
many computer users, which is broken out of the box.

The GNOME bugzilla bug is unhelpfully marked as FIXED RESOLVED. I will
reopen it.

Computer Janitor may list the same package for removal twice, if there
are two reasons to remove it.

For example, I have libawn0-bzr shown twice when I run CJ. When
selected, the first entry reads: Package is not longer supported
[etc.]

Second entry reads: Package was install because another package
required it [etc.]

Yes, it is important to show each reason for selecting a package for

Thanks duanedesign. This is still a problem for me with my Sony VGN-
SZ3XWP in Sony docking station.

Where I refer to undock script below I mean this two-liner adapted from 
Chris' original bug report:
sudo modprobe acpiphp
sudo echo  0  /sys/bus/pci/slot/4/power

Behaviour

1. Removing power from docking station, or pulling out laptop without
undock preparation

Hard hang of laptop with flashing status lights requiring battery
removal.

2. Pressing undock button on docking station, then removing laptop.

Hard hang of laptop with flashing status lights requiring battery
removal.

3. Don't press undock button, run undock script, then removing laptop.

Wired networks disabled. Laptop undocks. When re-docked, running sudo
echo  1  /sys/bus/pci/slot/4/power seems to reenable wired network 50%
of the time.

What happens if you press the undock button on the laptop?

The dock light will go off (yay!) and wireless will be immediately
disabled (boo! why would I want to turn off wireless when undocking?).
Wireless will not reenable when docked (ack, reboot required?). Nothing
else seems to get turned off... and it doesn't alter affect scenarios 1
- 3.

The only way to undock the laptop is with the script I provided above,
and re-docking is unreliable.

[Bug 36189] Re: Applets do not scale well with changing resolution

2009-04-08 Thread Aidan Fitzpatrick
Good to see the workarounds. However, this is still broken out of the
box in Jaunty.

I have attached a screenshot with panel at 1920 width, then downsized to
1280 without any interference.

For some reason my two right-side controls (workspace switcher, window
selector) get moved into the middle of the panel.

Proportional spacing is not preserved -- so everything's tightly packed
on the right when there's plenty of space on the left.

I think the positioning should scale between resolutions. I appreciate
getting this to feel just right may be tricky.

Worst-case, it would help if the panel at least remembered positioning
from different widths.

2009-04-05 Thread Aidan Fitzpatrick
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: computer-janitor

computer-janitor fires up with a list of about 25 fixes to make, most
of which are 3rd-party packages that I'd like to keep.

Remove/fix? is selected by default for all fixes, but I only want
the first 2. Thus I have 23 checkboxes to untick.

I should be able to select an item in the list of fixes and press
spacebar to toggle the tickmark (like I can in update-manager). That'd
make it much quicker to deselect the 23 than clicking with a mouse each
time.

(select all and select none might be out of place in this but they'd

[Bug 355543] [NEW] computer-janitor actions are unclear

2009-04-05 Thread Aidan Fitzpatrick
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: computer-janitor

computer-janitor does not say what it will do with selected items. For
example: .dpkg-old files.

The top part of the form says This applications helps you to find and
remove software..., but the first column in the listbox says
Remove/fix?.

.dpkg-old files get described as A file on disk. When I select a
.dpkg-old the tool annotation says File was left on the disk by dpkg
as part of its configuration file handling. If you computer works fine,
you can remove it. You may want to compare it with the actual
configuration file (the one without the .dpkg-old or .dpkg-new suffix).
If unsure, don't remove the file.

It doesn't take a genius to realise that the .dpkg-old files will be
removed by computer-janitor, but I think it should be explicit that it
will remove the file from the filesystem.

Perhaps the text should read File was left on the disk by dpkg as part
of its configuration file handling. If you computer works fine, you can
remove it. You may want to compare it with the actual configuration file
(the one without the .dpkg-old or .dpkg-new suffix. If unsure, don't
remove the file. Selecting this file and pressing Cleanup will
automatically remove it from your computer.

removed the packages successfully.

What went wrong? I had kicked off update-manager earlier, perhaps it was
a locking problem.

[Bug 100116] Re: sshfs mounted drives do not show correct size and availability in df

2008-11-02 Thread Aidan Fitzpatrick
Whilst this was fine in Hardy (at least, it showed 1TB free), it is
broken again in Intrepid and now shows 0.0K. Nautilus could copy files
to sshfs mounts as it always saw free space in Hardy -- under Intrepid
it refuses, as it sees no space.
