[Bug 390508] Re: notify-send ignores the expire timeout parameter

2010-03-19 Thread Justin Clift
There's also a use case for screenshot applications, like Salasaga,
where the notification telling the user a screenshot is about to occur
MUST be removed before the screenshot is taken.

Otherwise, all the screenshots have the warning notification itself in
them, as happened when notify-osd became the default.

Which is why notify-osd not adhering to something that works fine with
the previous (proper, working) implementation is really not scoring
points.

Wow.  They really have.  They've marked the idea in the brainstorms site
as not being acceptable, so we can't even use the standard mechanisms to
actually measure demand.

Sounds like we need someone to write this up as an idea for
http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com, so that way we can vote on it and put some
actual numbers around the demand a version that supports timeouts.

Who wants to write it up?

Hi Vadim,

This bug should now be fixed in the latest development snapshot:

http://www.salasaga.org/downloads/alpha6_dev/salasaga_200912061441.tar.bz2

Do you still have the Ubuntu system around that it was reported on, to
verify the fix?

Hi Vadim,

This looks like a bug found yesterday (but not in LP yet), in that when
a person removes all of the text in a layer and closes it, when they
open the layer for editing it crashes at the first typed character.  The
bug in that case is caused by no having a default font set (coding
problem on my part).

That bug will be fixed before release of Alpha 6 proper (soon), as it's
very serious and will probably affect other things internally too.

2009-12-02 Thread Justin Clift
MPT: The fix for this appears to be a 12 line patch (including the blank
lines) which has been submitted, and shown to work.

Yet you guys are refusing to implement this (very simple) patch, which
would enable apps with specific needs to continue working to full
functionality.

We've had to code a reduced functionality workaround that detects
Notify-OSD, and makes use of a confirmation bubble approach instead in
order to GET THE NOTIFCATION OFF THE SCREEN in time for the screenshot.
But it makes for a lesser user experience.

I'm obviously extremely unimpressed with the inflexible line you guys
are taking on this.  It really doesn't suit *100%* of software packages,
and the code to allow the edge cases (like our app) to work is already
available.

Can't you guys just enable it and allow people to move on with coding
more important stuff?

As follow up confirmation, switching to notification-daemon and removing
notify-osd works fine.

We'll need to ensure our Ubuntu packages have a Depends on
notification-daemon listed, and list notify-osd as a Conflict.  Should
solve the problem. :)

Ouch.  Just upgraded to Jaunty and went looking for how to deactivate
screengrabs, hitting this exact problem.

Does anyone have or know a workaround?

This is critical core functionality for Salasaga, an eLearning creation
package that's already available through Add/Remove.

Without the ability to trigger screenshots of applications with menu's
open, which this bug is preventing, there's no way to create effective
how-to style screenshots. :(

2008-05-08 Thread Justin Clift
This is exactly the error that occurs when trying to upgrade a fresh
6.06.1 xubuntu install to 6.10.

Steps:

1. Burned 6.06.1 to CD and installed it over a new, blank 160GB HDD.
2. Rebooted (first boot)
3. Ran update manager, it displayed 6.10 being available.  Told it to upgrade.

The above error occurs.

[Bug 25931] Re: Failed to initalize HAL.

2008-04-28 Thread Justin Clift
Hi,

Mine was (probably) unusual, in that I upgraded a (newly installed and
patched) 6.06 installation straight to 8.04.

Did this because my father has a PC running 6.06, and he never receives
the newer distribution available update notice when he runs the update
manager.

To see what might be going on, 6.06 got installed from CD into a VMware
virtual machine, and then latest updates applied.  Yep, he's right,
there's no notification of a newer Ubuntu version being available.

Instead, ran the command to check if there are any development versions
that can be upgraded to, and it suggested 8.04 (pre release at the
time).

As this was a virtual machine I thought what the heck and let it
proceed.  Everything seemed ok afterwards except for the HAL
initialisation failure error, that turned out to be because it wasn't in
the rc levels after the upgrade.

Hope that helps. :)

Initial working packages have been created for Hardy, Gutsy, and Feisty:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=58083package_id=53841release_id=593793

No idea if they're up to proper packaging standards though.

The meta files (control, copyright, rules, etc) are in Subversion here:

  http://salasaga.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/salasaga/trunk/packaging-

Does someone have time to take a look at this?

[Bug 210382] Re: [needs-packaging] Salasaga

2008-04-11 Thread Justin Clift
Hi,

I'm the primary developer for Salasaga.

Would recommend wait for at least a week or two before making packages
for Salasaga.

Due to the re-write of a major component (the time line widget), there
is a lot of change happening in the code right at the moment.

Although, to be fair, development snapshots are presently released every
few days, and we'll soon be coming near to our first proper Alpha
release.

Would definitely recommend packaging Salasaga from the first proper
Alpha release onwards though!

Hope that helps. :)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift

[Bug 25931] Re: Failed to initalize HAL.

2008-03-21 Thread Justin Clift
Hi,

I'm getting the Failed to initialize HAL error message after upgrading
to 8.04 alpha last week.

Running this in a VMware Workstation virtual machine for testing.

Happens on every boot.

Investigated a few options people mention on the forums, but nothing
worked.

Then looking at the /etc/rc2.d directory I noticed hal wasn't even
listed!

S12dbus - ../init.d/dbus
S13gdm - ../init.d/gdm

and no hal at all.

Did a:

$ sudo ln -s ../init.d/hal S15hal

And rebooted, and now everything seems to start up properly.  The
CONCURRENCY level in /etc/init.d/rc hasn't been touched, it was
already at none when I checked.

Hope this helps.
