Are there plans to also rotate the greeter? Seems odd to have to login
always in landscape mode on my N7. New bug needed?

[Bug 1480654] Re: [regression] Input focus delay after switching app back into focus since OTA5

2016-06-22 Thread Randall Ross
I can confirm that (a) (b) and (c) in Oliver's comment [1] affects me.

I will add another:

d) unresponsive to power button press to wake up device. I sometimes
need to press a dozen or more times before the display will respond and
I'm presented with a login screen, or sometimes with the restart/cancel,
etc  option menu.

Re: [Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share

2016-04-02 Thread Randall Ross
The fix for Bug #1 is to spread free software everywhere. With the
recent Ubuntu in/on Windows announcement, (many many many) millions of
people who couldn't access or participate in Ubuntu will soon have that
ability, giving them a glimpse into our world and a chance they've never
had.

We're making good progress. Or, stated more poetically:

2016-01-04 Thread Randall Ross
I am (I think) able to observe the slider behaviour referenced in the
bug on my N7, running r329. My device initially discoverable, even when
the slider reverts to "off" by itself. Shortly after (maybe a few
minutes later), the N7 is no longer discoverable and turning the slider
back to "on" has no effect. And, if I wait a few more minutes, I can
once again make the device discoverable with the slider. 

Checkbox output attached.

Perhaps we should change the bug name to:

If need be, bugs can be opened for other form factors.

 Personally I don't think we have fully won before Microsoft starts
 supporting Linux with Office etc. Of course replacing vendor-locked
 applications with open source are optimal but so far we have only
 succeed with webbrowsers.

 If Google succeeds in moving everything into the browser thats a win
 against OS monopoly but we should remember that Chrome Store are NOT
 Open source. But Native Client and PPAPI is so building an alternate
 store is possible and moving offering software in more than one store
 are a lot easier than supporting different operating systems.

   Microsoft has a majority market share in the new desktop PC
   marketplace. This is a bug which Ubuntu and other projects are meant
   to fix. As the philosophy of the Ubuntu Project states, Our work is
   driven by a belief that software should be free and accessible to
   all.

   Ubuntu software is free. Always was, always will be. Free software gives 
 everyone the freedom to use it however they want and share with whoever they 
 like. This freedom has huge benefits. At one end of the spectrum it enables 
 the Ubuntu community to grow and share its collective experience and 
 expertise to continually improve all things Ubuntu. At the other, we are 
 able to give access to essential software for those who couldn’t otherwise 
 afford it – an advantage that’s keenly felt by individuals and organisations 
 all over the world.
* http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/our-philosophy

   Non-free software leaves users at the mercy of the software owner and
   concentrates control over the technology which powers our society into
   the hands of a few. Additionally, proprietary software stifles
   innovation, maintains artificial scarcities, and enables malicious
   anti-features such as DRM, surveillance, and other monopolistic
   practices.

   This bug is widely evident in the PC industry.

   Steps to repeat:

   1. Visit a local PC store.
   2. Attempt to buy a machine without any proprietary software.

   What happens:

   Almost always, a majority of PCs for sale have Microsoft Windows pre-
   installed. In the rare cases that they come with a GNU/Linux operating
   system or no operating system at all, the drivers and BIOS may be
   proprietary.

   What should happen:

   A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software.

Re: [Bug 1] Closing makes sense; but close status is wrong

2013-05-30 Thread Randall Ross
My thoughts:

1) On perseverance: Giving up is not an option. Can't Fix admits
defeat.

2) On pragmatism: We might need to temporarily accept a binary blob (or
three) or even a proprietary service along the road to Freedomville.
When we do, we've introduced a bug to be fixed later. (It's a bit like
taking shortcuts in programming. Sometimes we do that to get the result
faster, knowing that there's debt to be repaid down the road.)

3) On timeline: Ubuntu will outlive all of us. Ubuntu is not just
software. When making plans we should consider a planning horizon of at
least 20 years.

4) On history: Just because others have failed to implement a business
model that maintains independence from capital markets, and respects,
spreads and preserves freedom, we should not assume that is the 100%
probable case. History is not always a good predictor of the future and
swans are sometimes black.

Cheers,
Randall.

[Bug 1002952] Re: [meta-bug] Invalid extra Digital output S/PDIF device for USB cards

2012-05-23 Thread Randall Ross (rrnwexec)
@David,
I recall seeing the device properly identified at/around 12.04 LTS release 
time, though I don't have the means to revert to check it again. Evidently 
between now and then something changed.

[Bug 957025] [NEW] Super (Tap) does not open Dash Home

2012-03-16 Thread Randall Ross (rrnwexec)
Public bug reported:

Observed Behaviour:
Super (Tap) does not open Dash Home (regardless of current workspace or which 
applications are running.) The only way to open the Dash Home is to click the 
big Ubuntu button on the Launcher.

Expected behaviour:
Super (Tap) should open Dash Home in all circumstances.

Additional Info:
1. Super (Press) *does* display shortcuts.
2. Super (Hold) *does* reveal the Keyboard Shortcuts.

[Bug 882274] Re: Community engagement is broken

2011-11-19 Thread Randall Ross (rrnwexec)
This discussion could be much more effective if we agree to get
*precise* about which Community we are referring to.

Community engagement is broken is much much too general a bug to fix.
It's like saying Ubuntu is buggy.

Can we agree to get more *precise* in this Precise cycle? More here:
http://randall.executiv.es/uds-p-12

Engagement between the Ubuntu-enthusiasts Community and the Ayatana
Design team is broken might be a better bug title and might lessen the
swirl... but that's just a guess.

Community is this huge, nebulous cloud. And, to Mark's point we cannot
realistically expect to design Ubuntu (the OS) for everyone who might be
a part of the community and it's millions of outposts.

@Tom,

The Ubuntu-certified list is generated by Canonical and is the
authoritative list. Absence from this list means that the system in
question has not been rigorously tested.

There are other lists that the community builds, which are best
guesses. Some of those use System Testing but that's not a prerequisite.

The statement that if it is not on the list then it almost certainly
will work too is erroneous. A search through Ubuntu forums, Launchpad
Answers, and Ask Ubuntu will yield thousands of counter-examples.

Re: [Bug 1] Microsoft has a majority market share

2010-10-23 Thread Randall Ross (rrnwexec)
@Faldegast

The Ubuntu Software Centre (USC) is the way software gets distributed to
Ubuntu users. It can accommodate FLOSS, proprietary, and more. New in
10.10 there is a section in USC for commercial apps (that cost money)
too. The one thing that all software in USC has in common though is that
it is known to work with Ubuntu and can be installed with a single
click. (USC is not a place to collect and distribute random software
from unknown sources though.)

So, are you advocating something bigger than USC? A replacement for it?
A more diverse collection of software? Some new features? If so, the
best way to proceed would be to write a Blueprint and engage in a
discussion with the USC development team. There is a good background
document here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter

 I think that the official name for CNR is something else now.

 In 2007 the market for a software store was very immature. Now everyone
 got one. There is Appstore, Android Market, Chrome Web Store, and
 Microsofts specs for Windows 8 suggests they are planning one.

 Yeah, there is people that is not interested in using commercial
 applications. Then just dont, just because we add something like cnr
 doesnt mean you have to use it.

 I don't find mixing the FOSS stuff with commercial apps a bad idea.
 However i would vote for a way to disable it. Technically they should be
 in their own repo(s), and therefore easy to enable/disable. Just like we
 handle non-FOSS like flash player right now.

 This is not for the hardcore Linux users. I probably would buy some
 games but nothing else, and many others would not buy anything at all.
 This is for avarage joe that wants his familiar applications easily
 available.

@mzc
I agree.

@faldegast:
1) Why would we market a kernel?
2) Running Ubuntu on scrap/old is not putting our best foot forward, and
creates support issues.
3) For the server side, we have Ubuntu Server.
4) Ubuntu Software Centre is just that: a store for Ubuntu-compatible
software. The extension of USC to non-Ubuntu platforms would be
nightmarish in complexity.

 On Oct 22, 2010 10:26 AM, Faldegast 1...@bugs.launchpad.net wrote:
 What i suggest for Ubuntu is the following:

 1. A Ubuntu/Linux/Elf software store. It should be designed so that it
 can ship applications for many OS:es, not just Ubuntu.

 2. A Ubuntu Pro commercial offering. Including boxed Ubuntu, a manual,
 and support. Also some commercial stuff like DVD player.

 Ubuntu currently has Fluendo Windows Media and MP3 Playback Pack, Fluendo
 Complete Playback Pack and PowerDVD Linux in its online shop. These should
 either be provided trough a software store, or included in Ubuntu Pro.
 I would also see more commercial Linux applications there. For example i
 know there is a Ubuntu version of Majesty. I know for sure that i would buy
 that.
 3. Both of above need a reseller plan. OEMs that preinstall a software
 store or Ubuntu Pro have to make money out of it. And Ubuntu pro should
 not be cheap.

 A software store and a commercial Linux with a distribution network is
 what we need. I am certain that this is exactly what we need. For
 servers we have RHEL but for clients the only thing available is
 Mandriva, but they effort to build a distribution network is to weak.
 They focus on an online store, and I believe thats their weakness.
 Operating Systems is OEM products and they are usually sold with
 computers, so we must target the OEM builders.

 While i have talked a lot about technology on this issue, technology is
 not a #1 bug issue. We have technology, what we need to fix bug #1 is
 marketing.

 There is no reason why Linux should have less usage share then OS X.
 Linux can run on much more hardware that OS X supports, and it have a
 great community.

 On another front, i think the idea of recycling old computers with
 Ubuntu and give them to those that cannot afford a brand new PC is
 excellent. I have done this a lot with lubuntu on really old computers.
 I also have a ThinLinc server that can be used to run applications that
 old computers are to weak to run. Its not fast enough for youtube,
 however they can play mpeg2. Perhaps an application like minitube can
 use a proxy server for transcoding to mpeg2 before a clip reach the old
 box?


 Martin,

 True. Again i agree with that and i think we are in agreement again. So
 the
 various points people have made are valid except where we talk about
 noobs
 installing.


 Surely a shop that installs to perhaps tens of machines has time to play
 around
 with even just 1 and has probably noticed all the quirkiness of
 installing
 Windows onto a wide range of very different machines and might realise
 that
 lack of knowledge might be the main barrier to a smoother install of
 Ubuntu (or
 other distro). Perhaps it is those people that we should target rather
 than
 normal users or people that do the odd one or two. Continuing to approach
 both
 is probably still best.

 Tom :)

 Bug description:
 Microsoft has a majority market share in the new desktop PC marketplace.
 This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix.

 Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry,
 restricting access to IT to a small part of the world's population and
 limiting the ability of software developers to reach their full potential,
 globally. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry.
 Steps to repeat:

 1. Visit a local PC store.

 What happens:
 2. Observe that a majority of PCs for sale have non-free software

Ubuntu awareness (and use) is very very low by our measurements so far.
We're conducting random public surveys in Vancouver BC to get an actual
percentage. Our goal is 1000 people asked What is Ubuntu?
We're not publishing until we have a stastistically valid sample. Stay
tuned for results ;)
Want to try it in your city/town? Email me for the methodology.

Think of your experiences in the Windows world. You likely have used
hardware that is stickered Windows Ready, Works with Windows etc.

 When I get a new system (which I get regularly) after it is assembled it
 take me 1 to 1.5 hours to install Windows, the drivers and the necessary
 software to get it to function at 100% efficiency.  I don't have the time to

 with an Asus board and an XFX HD 5770.  When it came time to install the ATI
 drivers from ATI, I ran the package and it said nothing to me so I rebooted
 and guess what, it was not installed. So I then proceeded to install the
 third party drivers that Ubuntu suggested.  Well, what a great performing
 card It gave 50GFLOPS instead of the 1400GFLOPS Windows gives me.
 I don't have time to fart around for days or weeks to get the machine
 working 100%.

 When Ubuntu is as easy to install as Windows, then I will have another look
 at it.
 Not till then...

 Regards,
 Gentilli.

 Hi,

 add-in cards don't have drivers for Ubuntu.
 My systems are high-end machines, not your stock stuff that Ubuntu works
 on.
 So you see until Ubuntu makes drivers for all these wonderful add-in
 cards
 and proper video drivers Ubuntu will not exist in my house.
 I don't believe you.  I have high end machines too...  They all work.
 (About 25)  Some took some effort, but only a few systems with old and
 cheap stuff.  This is being typed on a Gigabyte X58A-UD3R motherboard
 with a Inetl Corei7 Quad core, and nVidia GTS250 graphics with 24 gig of
 ram.  (Work system, so that is why the low end graphics)  Worked out of
 the box with Lucid.  I believe there is a lot more to your story.  Like
 perhaps your high end stuff is the cheapest Chinese components you can
 source...  And they don't have drivers?  shock  Those can take a bit
 more effort.  Or perhaps the well known Intel i855 graphics chipset bug?
  (Fixed in Maverik, by the way)

 Only being willing to put an hour into learning a new system is not a
 bug we can easily patch.

 But if you want help, go ahead and e-mail me.  I bet I can find drivers
 for much of your stuff.

Re: [Bug 1] Microsoft has a majority market share

2010-10-20 Thread Randall Ross (rrnwexec)
Quite true.

If you've ever watched a new user work with Ubuntu, you'll likely have
noticed that they have a much easier time than experienced computer
users. No bad habits to unlearn, and they tend to involve themselves
less with tinkering on unsupported (and uncertified) hardware.


 You want Ubuntu to be as easy for a beginner to install with no 
 experience as Windows is for an expert with years of experience.  That 
 is the bug...  Unreasonable expectations.  And the thought that 
 Windows is Computer and if you know Windows you know computers. 
   Not so helpfull with Mac, Linux, HP-UX, Aix, Solaris, AS400, VMS, or a 
 number of accounting specific systems.  Now if you give the same test to 
 your grandmother, I bet Linux is easier.

 And this is the reason I responded.  People keep looking at the wrong 
 bug.  The bug is that we did not tell you this BEFORE you started.  Now 
 it is too late...

Re: [Bug 1] Microsoft has a majority market share

2010-10-20 Thread Randall Ross (rrnwexec)
The concept of a computer being a bicycle for the mind might be
helpful here, and might be worth revisiting.

If we (society) are training our students purely to be users
(consumers) of software then we will see the exact effect that you
describe (in the domain of OS'es and computing, at least). (Bug #1 has
in effect created a whole generation of consumers who view computers as
a way to get to entertainment).

We should instead be aiming to teach people to be creators and
contributors, so their information access tools remain robust and enable
any one to get to any and all information they need to educate
themselves.  Ubuntu is taking that challenge head-on. However, we're
still not able to channel all the energy that is lost to distractions
such as Facebook, YouTube, Farmville, WoW, and similar things that also
tend to dumb down (or at least divert). That will require a lot more
code...

Re: [Bug 628087] Re: Maverick ubiquity lacks option to change computer name

2010-09-07 Thread Randall Ross (rrnwexec)
 @Mark

I'm going to lobby for putting the user first. And, to do so we can
possibly lift (and improve) a page from the Fruit Sellers In Cupertino
(FSIC) on this one:

Please type a name your computer. It's a simple question and gives the
user a sense of being in control. (They are already typing their own
name anyways. One more box isn't torture.) It also adds a touch of
personality to their computer and fun to the whole experience of
installing. IMHO this is a better approach than silently choosing a name
on the user's behalf that they will be stuck with later, or forcing them
into a clean up task after install.

If naming one's computer something fun isn't seen as an appropriate
install task, then providing an obvious GUI to change it from System:
Preferences ought to be our compromise. Something like an About this
computer app would do nicely.

[Bug 631943] [NEW] No bootloader location option available for use entire disk install method

2010-09-06 Thread Randall Ross (rrnwexec)

When installing Ubuntu and selecting Use entire disk, there is no

or anywhere else for that matter.

[Bug 631948] [NEW] Installer does not provide user the ability to specify hostname

2010-09-06 Thread Randall Ross (rrnwexec)
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubiquity

On a new Ubuntu install, the installer assumes that the user name will form the 
hostname, which is often not desirable. The user should be provided the option 
to enter a hostname of their choice.
e.g. allow me to name my system something other than 'randall-laptop' (not that 
that's necessarily a bad name for yours though.)

Re: [Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share

2010-08-23 Thread Randall Ross (rrnwexec)
My humble opinion: We'll likely not win over the mindshare of the
majority by berating the competition, nor by entering into a
feature-by-feature (or bug-by-bug) analysis of their products. In fact,
by continually mentioning their names and products we give them
additional free word-of-mouth advertising. The best way to gain
mindshare (and fix Bug #1) is to focus on what Ubuntu does best and
continually reinforce that message, politefully, and tactfully.

 bug-tracking/fixing.  Within approx the last year of official support the

 becomes really quite usable but it really starts to fly about the time 
 official 
 MicroSquish support ends.  Of course by then it is extremely vulnerable to

 almost 
 all of them have brand-new machines with Xp.  Win7 seems to be for home 
 users; 
 the type of users MicroSquish doesn't care about and doesn't mind annoying 
 because they can't fight back and can be easily duped by tech support over 
 an 
 expensive phone call.
  
 Really glad to have this space to blow off steam knowing that most of you 
 might 
 disagree with the odd comment or be able to finesse a better or more precise 
 way 
 of sayign the same thing but who understand what i mean because of having 
 tried 
 an alternative to Windows.

It's done.
Please refer to the official list of hardware. Please direct everyone
you know to do the same.

 some official recommendations of hardware combinations (maybe which
 are specifically tested). There could be shops then following the
 specs and build the appropriate machines and getting some sort of
 Ubuntu optimized hardware or something like this.

 But there must be at least one recommended combination of each genre -
 server, desktop, notebook and netbook.

@Mark
That's true. system76 is likely in a different category. I assume they
are in the new Ubuntu-ready category which just popped up recently on
the certification site. I will be sure to ask them though. Or maybe
they'll chime in :)

The business model can be considered similar to Wikipedia. Global
collaboration for the benefit of everyone. The creation of a valuable
resource for humanity.

Here are some questions for you to consider:
Does mathematics have a viable business model? Do you still use it? Is
it of benefit to you? Are you paying your licensing fees? ;)

Is a business model a pre-requisite for greatness?

I've never seen an ad promoting Wikipedia.
I've never seen an ad promoting the World Wide Web.
Market share can be gained through mind share, which may or may not
require money.
Some seed money may be needed, but we've got that.

 A business model is how to make money. What you state is the goal, not the 
 business model. In order to promote Ubuntu money is needed, hence is a 
 business model needed to increase the benefit everyone makes of it. Just the 
 process of making it will benefit Ubuntu and Linux because gaining market 
 share has to be a part of a successful business model.

Can we refrain from using the phrase Linux usage, and from using the
words Linux and Ubuntu interchangeably? Are people really expected to
use a kernel directly?

My experience is that dropping the L word opens up our favourite
operating system to a much wider audience. More thoughts here:

[Bug 564011] Re: Thunderbird 3.0.4 windowing issues (Lucid Lynx)

2010-05-08 Thread Randall Ross (rrnwexec)
Turning off Desktop Effects is a workaround, though not an acceptable
one. All other applications are behaving as expected.

The key to solving this bug lies in the title of the bug.

Ubuntu needs marketing. Market it! The rest will follow ;)

Cheers,

 In general i think that we really need task forces in plural.
   
 Agreed, but some we already have some (like kernel hackers, X.org guys,
 people who build desktop environments, ...).
 
 I know that a few project have very organized task forces. However
 neither of those you mention shows much of that.

   
 There are a lot of overlapping projects. One example is that KDE and Gnome 
 should merge, at least when it comes to key technologies.
   
 That would certainly help to reduce the desperate shortage of manpower.
 

   
 1. We need a standardized method for embedding objects. Like Java Beans and 
 OLE/ActiveX in Windows. I mean how do you view a office document in a VS 
 application, or create a PDF report? You find an ActiveX that can do it. 
 KDE has KParts and Gnome has something similar, but we really need a 
 standard for this. Or in other words we need a standard for Custom 
 Controls. In OLE/ActiveX an object can be inproc (dynamically or statically 
 linked) or out of proc (external server process that starts on demand). 
 Also the app is totally oblivious to w 

 2. We need a visual editor that can create new Custom Controls, or design 
 containers like forms/windows.

 The Lazarus FreePascal IDE is an interesting project.
   
 So instead of learning how to properly use existing libraries and then
 writing nice and clean code yourself you prefer to have some kind of
 gizmo spit out some crap for you and you actually call that programming?
 Thank god that most people writing free software don't take the same
 approach, because I'm convinced that's just a way of making things
 rapidly deteriorate. Don't get me wrong - I know these are very powerful
 tools in the hands of a true professional, but they're also helping to
 make things suck so much more when some lazy and incompetent fuck is
 just abusing them to roll his piece of crap ASAP so that he could start
 making easy money out of it and doesn't even have a clue of how to use
 them properly. Unfortunately I've seen way too much crap that was
 programmed exactly this way to prove my point.
 
 What? Can you be more specific in how you come to this ramblings out of
 what i wrote? How would having a standard rather then (at least) two
 incompatible solutions create such a mess?

   
 Another thing that we need is a good native database library. We have
   
 JDBC and ADO.NET. Perhaps one of them could be ported to C/C++? We also
 have PHP Data Objects that is quite nice and probably implemented in C,
 perhaps the C code could be used to make a C Data Objects?

 There are quite a few - libmysql, libpq, libsqlite... many of them with
 bindings to whatever language you like. Just pick the best fit for your
 desired application.
 
 So how do i use libmysql to connect to my postres database again? None of 
 those are database libraries. They are database-specific client libraries. 
 The only C database lib i know that is actively developed i libzdb 
 (http://www.tildeslash.com/libzdb/documentation.html).

   
 I think the bottom line is that the programming model is completely
 different and those who just want to make their job easy and cobble
 something up without actually knowing anything about coding are gonna
 have a very hard time getting used to it.
 
 In what way is it different? Most things i suggest are already in the 
 programming model. The OLE/ActiveX-component type of component model for OO 
 programming does exist. It exists in the form of beans, kpart and bonobo. The 
 only difference with creating a standard is that kde objects would be usable 
 in gnome and gnome objects in kde.

[Bug 564011] [NEW] Thunderbird 3.0.4 windowing issues (Lucid Lynx)

2010-04-15 Thread Randall Ross (rrnwexec)
Public bug reported:

Latest Thunderbird (3.0.4) for Lucid Lynx (Beta, all updates to 04/14/2010.)
Installed Version: thunderbird 3.0.4+nobinonly-0ubuntu1

Thunderbird windows don't redraw. Hints, the text that should appear
when hovering over messages does not appear. Menus don't fill properly
when pulled down, just a blank square where menu items should be.

This occurs when Visual Effects (compiz) set to Normal or Extra.
Thunderbird is the only app affected from what I can tell.

Thanks in advance,
Randall

Re: [Bug 509265] Re: Internal wireless not detected: ISL3890/ISL3886 chipset

2010-03-09 Thread Randall Ross (rrnwexec)
@Chase:

Thank you. I have installed linux-firmware-nonfree-1.6 and confirm that
the internal wireless is now detected and (mostly) functional.

A couple of observations:
1) In Ubuntu 9.10 the ISL3890/ISL3886 did not require the nonfree package.
2) The driver contained in linux-firmware-nonfree-1.6 does not report
signal strength accurately. All networks appear at 100% signal strength.
I already have an open bug on this issue for 9.10 and will amend it to
include 10.04a3 as well. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441780

Good news. Lucid Lynx Alpha 3 does not exhibit this behaviour on the Radeon 
Mobility M6 LY
(Neither does Alpha1 or Alpha2).

Compiz works! No corruption. Something must have been fixed between 9.10
and 10.04.

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

Laptop will not boot to login screen. Built-in LCD panel goes blank
immediately after the Ubuntu circle stage of startup is finished. (Just
before the brown splash page the shows the spotlight). I have inspected
Xorg.0.log and it appears that the xserver is incorrectly assuming that
