[Bug 1973403] Re: gnome-shell is using over 13GB of ram after 5 days

2022-06-03 Thread Richard e Collins
You can close this bug now. After 11 days gnome-shell memory usage has
been stable. I must have had an application causing the issue. As I
leave my PC on for a long time, never shutdown, I do not know what it
would have been that caused this. But I am sure it is not gnome-shell.

I will apply a updates again, if there are any, reboot and create the

[Bug 528398] Re: Partner search engine not as user friendly as the 7digital one

2011-05-04 Thread Richard E
Well - more than a year has gone by, and no action. Let me rephrase not
as user friendly. No - HOPELESS. Particularly for a classical music
lover such as myself. Until now I have been reduced to searching on the
7digital.com site, taking a unique string from the album that I wished
to purchase and then searching in Ubuntu One Music Store (UOMS) for
that. Until this morning, that is. Found this on 7digital.com:

http://www.7digital.com/artists/various-artists/pomp-and-circumstance-1/

I defy anyone to find that in UOMS using Rhythmbox or Banshee (Maverick
and Natty respectively). Eventually, using Banshee in Natty, I went to
Amazon MP3 Store, found the album within one minute, logged into my
Amazon account and paid for it within another minute and downloaded
within 5 minutes. And I saved 50p into the bargain!

I don't mind that UOMS is generally 50p an album more expensive than
Amazon. I'm happy to pay that in order to support Canonical and however
much goes upstream to gnome, but I can't do that if I can't find what I
want to purchase.

Sorry - you are in danger of losing customers to Amazon. This really
needs to be addressed.

Oops - this particular album was the same price in 7digital.com and
Amazon, but the principle still applies. Many 7digital albums are more
expensive than in Amazon but I'm happy to pay if I can actually find the
album.

[Bug 734325] Re: Natty: Users should be able to easily turn off (disable) global menu

2011-04-16 Thread Richard E
I believe this bug is indeed invalid because you can already disable the
global menu in the classic desktop very easily. I'm surprised no one's
mentioned this yet.

The global menu is simply a panel applet in classic gnome. If you want
to disable it, right-click on it and Remove from Panel. If you want to
re-enable it, right-click on the panel  Add to panel  Indicator Applet
Appmenu.

2011-02-01 Thread Richard E
It's not clear whether some of the last few posters have the enclosure
that gives you 'ID 05e3:0701' from lsusb - which is what the bug
nominator has - but this problem is not going to go away by itself. I'm
disappointed (a diplomatic understatement) that this bug remains
undecided and unassigned. There are plenty of people out there with the
ID 05e3:0701 device who are affected by this bug and the thread I linked
in #2 continues to grow. This one:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1618085

I have also responded in other threads on Ubuntuforums about the same ID
05e3:0701 issue where the OP has not contributed to the linked thread.
This ghastly device seems to be an insidiously common one. The fact that
it works in Natty (so far!) is not a reason to neglect it in Maverick.

2010-12-04 Thread Richard E
I also get this in Maverick on a machine with a nvidia chipset, but not
on two others with an Intel and an AMD/ATI chipset. The affected
machine's lspci includes:

00:02.0 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation MCP78S [GeForce 8200] OHCI USB 1.1 
Controller (rev a1)
00:02.1 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation MCP78S [GeForce 8200] EHCI USB 2.0 
Controller (rev a1)

The unaffected machines have Intel 82801I (ICH9 Family) and ATI
SB700/SB800 respectively.

On the affected nvidia-chipset machine I also see this behaviour with
external hard drives, not just flash drives.

[Bug 314860] Re: New timestamp when copying to NTFS partition

2009-04-07 Thread Richard E T
I can add something to this.

This is happening in Jaunty as of today. If you rely on the fstab entry
as set up by the Jaunty installer for an internal partition (device
mountpoint ntfsdefaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=460  1), you
get:

Nautilus file copy ext3 partition - NTFS partition - date/time changed to 
current.
Nautilus file copy NTFS partition - ext3 partition - date/time preserved.

But if you change the fstab entry to a simple:

devicemountpointntfsdefaults0 0

...date and time stamps are preserved both ways. In fact that's what
I've been using (or with filesystem field = ntfs-3g) for quite some and
I have yet to have a problem with it.

Also to add: date/time is preserved copying both ways with an
automounted external NTFS drive. No problem there.

[Bug 149013] Problem with gnome-panel startup if solid colour

2007-10-04 Thread Richard E T
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

Gutsy-Beta. Same issue found on two different machines.

On start-up, immediately after logging in, with default desktop setup,
both the upper and lower gnome panels work fine. But if I change them to
Properties  Background  Solid colour (and with the slider bar about
one-third the way along, that is nearer the transparent end), both
panels appear briefly, but as the desktop loads up only the upper one
appears properly. If I wait until the desktop has completely loaded, and
then click anywhere on the desktop, the lower panel immediately appears
and works as it should. If I set the panels back to Properties 
Background  None, the lower one starts up properly and works OK.

Only a minor bug, but slightly worrying. I've not seen this in Gnome
before, but until I installed Gutsy Beta I had not used the 2.20
version. Could this be an upstream bug?

[Bug 149013] Re: Problem with gnome-panel startup if solid colour

2007-10-04 Thread Richard E T
Thanks for your response. My apologies - I didn't think of compiz and
you are quite right. On both the desktop (Nvidia GeForce 6200) and the
laptop (Intel 915G) I had Visual Effects set to 'Normal' - the default,
which is why I forgot about it. Setting them to 'None' on both machines
causes the problem to go away.

One curiosity - with compiz enabled, now I get the problem whether the
panel is set to 'Solid Colour' or 'None'. I don't know why it behaved
differently before I posted the bug. Anyway, if this is a duplicate you
might as well close this one. And apologies once again for making an
unnecessary report.

By the way, Gutsy is looking good. Congratulations to all the devs.

[Bug 86114] Re: e2label appears to be broken in Feisty Herd 4

2007-06-23 Thread Richard E T
I'm afraid that Herd 4 has long since departed my machine to join that
cloud of unwanted electrons in the sky. It would have been interesting
to have looked at the two outputs you suggest. I'm sorry I didn't think
of that then because I can see that the problem probably didn't lie with
e2label itself.

Anyway, e2label works fine in the final release of Feisty so whatever
the problem was has obviously been fixed.

Thanks for your response, Theodore. :) I was beginning to get lonely. ;)

[Bug 86114] e2label appears to be broken in Feisty Herd 4

2007-02-18 Thread Richard E T
Public bug reported:

Ubuntu Feisty Fawn - Herd 4 - fully updated earlier today (18th February
2007).

Self-explanatory terminal input and output:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo e2label /dev/hda11
Password:
e2label: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/hda11
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.

The ext3 partition label for /dev/hda11 is 'Gentoo'. I have about a
half-dozen distros on different partitions on this laptop and the others
report (or change) the partition labels without difficulty. This error
message is wrong, and Gentoo boots up and works fine. ;)

I don't know whether this is related, but when I do 'sudo
/etc/init.d/dbus restart' to deal with the issue of mounted volumes that
won't appear on my desktop* the volumes appear but labelled hda1, hda2,
etc rather than with my partition labels. Again the other distros are
behaving properly.

* This seems to be a bug that, unlike the e2label one, has been aired on
UbuntuForums. I don't know whether it has been reported or not. I'll
search for it and if not put in a report myself.
