[Bug 668415] Re: Movement of Unity launcher
This relates to lack of hardware compositing/3D effects on older hardware .. I'm still using an ancient GeForce 5200 card (motherboard just refuses to quit). Shade/fade effects in 14.04 are exceedingly slow because I am assuming rendering is being done in software w/nouveau. With the nVidia binary drivers login works but the desktop never appears.. I stumbled on to the suggestion of installing Gnome Flashback w/metacity in another forum. ( http://askubuntu.com/questions/450555/very-slow-graphics-performance- after-upgrade-12-04-14-04 ) I wass pleasantly surprised to see the old gmome desktop restored, plus all of the benefits of the software from the new release. I will recommend this transition to anyone who is holding on to using old hardware. Workaround for old menus: sudo apt-get install gnome-panel Log out and choose Gnome (metacity) as the session type for the next log in ..FYI for good measure I had also removed a lot of the preference (.) files from my profile before I started the new window manager. Once I was running metacity I then installed the v173 nVidia binary drivers and am now back in business..another computer saved from landfill, plus a possible workaround for many old Windows XP computers that would otherwise get trashed.

Re: [Bug 668415] Re: Movement of Unity launcher
I still think that there is a market for a user friendly linux desktop AS WELL AS a market for a user friendly OS on portable/consumer devices, I don't blame Canonical for trying to make a profit to stay in business and trying to position for what it thinks will be the next big thing. In a lot of ways Ubuntu desktop is very easy to use, in a lot of ways they were sort of screwed over when the Gnome team decided to change their whole paradigm of what a desktop should be. Rather than design another as is window manager Ubuntu team apparently decided to take their own stab at a friendly UI. Personally I believe that the UI for phones and tablets should look very different from the UI for desktop PC's. I can understand apple and other vendors wanting to have a one size (and one codebase) fits all solution but the use for phones, tablets, TV and desktop really are for different purposes. There are plenty of other Linux distros out there that are extremely customizable, I still do point a few of my friends who are looking for a basic system that works and doesn't have to be customizable to Ubuntu 12.04 - as long as I think their hardware can support it. I have been using Linux since I downloaded boot and root floppies off of a BBS in 1994. Ok well, really using it since slackware was new. I gave up in the late 90's and early 2000's because every distro release seemed to break new and different fundamental driver functionality. Then I finally found Ubuntu - and way back on version 5 I was just amazed at this distro that not only worked on EVERY machine I threw at it (Including a Pentium II 450Mhz) but also was extremely intuitive to understand back before 3D compositing started to take ahold of everything. I really was pulling machines out of recycling or trash piles and giving them new life with Ubuntu. Both Canonical and the Ubuntu team have worked very hard and I wish them a lot of success, but the REASON I evangelized Ubuntu to start with was because it really WAS the dream linux that everyone was hoping for. Easy to use, wide compatibility. Everyone keeps saying that the PC is dead. More likely that vendors just can't make a profit off of it any more and they are looking for next big thing. Mark is right, its just hard for me to wrap my head around Unity on the desktop. I love Unity on my 7 netbook, but not so much on the desktop. Actually I really liked netbook remix on the 7 netbook - I guess Unity is combination of both desktop + netbook remix.. Anyway, thanks for listening. John On Tue, Mar 19, 2013 at 8:09 PM, Tal Liron 668...@bugs.launchpad.netwrote: @Adam You make some strange arguments here. FOSS philosophy has nothing to do with customization. It's about providing access to the source code. The Unity project is 100% FOSS (GPL/LGPLv3). Ubuntu's goals might be different from yours. You might want to have a desktop perfectly configured for your needs. The Ubuntu project is trying to make a free operating system for the masses. Mark is clear that in trying to achieve these goals he will 1) be taking bold risks, and 2) he will not meet everybody's needs. Time will tell if he's on the right path. I personally have many doubts, because when I've introduced Ubuntu and Unity to new people -- and I've done this a lot, in professional and personal contexts -- I've heard a lot of frustrations about its usability, configurability and stability. And so I've stopped recommending the regular Ubuntu, and instead recommend Xubuntu, which is *awesome*. But, maybe we got it all wrong and Mark got it right and Unity will make people flock to Ubuntu. Adam, you make a comparison to Apple: well, the Apple UI has proven itself very popular with the masses. So, maybe Mark (and GNOME) is on to something in trying to emulate their approach. To the Ubuntu project's *great* credit, it offers support (in terms of computing, bandwidth and other resources, if not personnel) to *several* different flavors. While GNOME 3 seems to have the same general goals as Unity, the others absolutely do not, and will likely better suit your personal needs. Xubuntu is still Ubuntu, with the excellent repositories, PPA, and the entire ecosystem. It is an excellent and free operating system. My problem, and it is central to this particular bug about making the Launcher movable, is not Unity's philosophy but the fact that it's essentially *broken* for certain setups, such as multimonitor and right- to-left setups. Unity should not be the default desktop, or at least it should have a big disclaimer up front that it is an experimental desktop interface, with an easy path (one click!) to let users install and use something that is proven to work. Actually, there is a second problem: Mark has made me not want to help the Unity project. He has alienated many long-time Ubuntu supporters by his abrupt closure of bugs like this, with little or misleading communication about the reasons. So,
Re: [Bug 668415] Re: Movement of Unity launcher
Yes well there's that, but also how the gnome 3 team had also stopped listening to users -gnome had a perfectly usable desktop - the project succeeded...I guess they must've got bored..what is Ubuntu to do as a downstream consumer of the technology? After using Windows 8 I can see why ubuntu team chose unity - my only real complaint with it is that every time they come out with a new release I have to hold my breath and see if any of my hardware support stops working. That is why I am on mint xfce now, I don't really NEED a compositing window manager in order to do word processing and answer Email and the first thing I do after installing ubuntu is install restricted extras anyway. I am curious to try Enlightenment though, supposedly with new release they have developed their own compositing engine independent of OpenGL support.

Re: [Bug 668415] Re: Movement of Unity launcher
My main office PC with an 8X AGP GeForce 5200 can no longer run Ubuntu as of 12.10. I actually started using 12.04 and used a combination of a Unity with Autohide turned on and minimum sensitivity + CairoDock GL - when I wanted the Unity menu I just pressed the SUPER key, otherwise I used the Cairo Dock icons on the bottom of the screen. I actually grew to like 12.04 but 12.10 seemed like a regression to me because it could not support my ancient video card. I could log on, the desktop would appear but no menus or panel...and no way to revert to Classic or 2D in 12.10. I switched to the XFCE version of MINT - the reason I stopped using LINUX several years ago is that every time a new release of my fav distro came out some sort of critical functionality that worked well in the previous release was all of the sudden broken. Iit's been 5 years without worrying about that feeling with Ubuntu, however 12.10 brought back the frustration. As far as I know there is no easy workaround other than buying a new video card and this machine just isn't that fancy.. Thanks for your hard work, Maybe some day I will try Ubuntu on a tablet or a TV (I am still a mythbuntu user) and it will make sense again.

As this is a worthy enhancement to the platform (remember some tablets are used in Landscape mode :P). As we have seen with the unity-shellrotated unofficial customization tweak the demand is there.

[Bug 668415] Re: Movement of Unity launcher
OK, so I tried MINT for a while, and it was okay but still not perfect, and then I tried Kubuntu, KDE sure has changed a lot in the last 10 years...neat but I don't want to have to relearn the WHOLE interface. In the end I reloaded the mainline distro of orrnery ocelot - even with Unity it seems to have the most polished interface. I WILL tell you though that without the nVidia binary drivers my system would've been dead in the water..I installed the 173 post-install version and things seem to be better.nouveau team has worked very hard but that driver just wasn't very responsive at all for 3D. I am SLOWLY starting to use Unity, THREE clicks is still waay too much to start an installed app. You should have a link to all of the installed apps on the favorites tab to make it more apparent. Even when you find the apps in the next tab over it still only shows five big icons and a little tiny blurb that says (Read More). Since I (unfortunately) have to use windows every day at work I am still looking for the panel with the list of running tasks at the bottom of the screen. It took a while to figure out that the system settings have ALL been moved to the far right drop down menu - it was really irritating searching for the settings panels through the menu before I figured that out. Is there any way to pin the menu open? I tried searching for Pidgin and nothing appeared for a long time - then I had a desire to go look something up in firefox..the panel slid away and of course when I opened it back up my search was cancelled. Like the person who started this thread I have noticed that when you right click on the bar you get no choices for options.. Any way to get nautilus to show up in an actual window, with a real frame? What if people want to drag and drop files between two windows? As an A+ certified IT support specialist for more than 15 years I will tell you that there were some people who I trained - drag and drop is the only way they figured out copying files. I really, really wish that you guys would consider forking GNOME2 and continuing to develop a low power version of the interface for old hardware - a stated goal of this distro is making software available to all people right? it's a shame that all of those used P-III PC's nobody wants anymore can't still be used for a few more years in schools and non-profits. I say P-III because I'm pretty sure the majority of P4 systems I've seen are power hungry RAMBUS based designs...okay for their time but maybe better to retire those..I dunno. Any UI testing groups I can be a part of - is there a link for that? It isn't hard to see that you're pushing the distro toward an app store but hey, I guess it costs money to keep development in business so I can't say I blame you. My only other complaint right now is that shutdown is still slow - need to either speed it up or offer better feedback than things just sort of hanging there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/668415 Title: Movement of Unity launcher To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/668415/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 668415] Re: Movement of Unity launcher
I am posting this here because I know Mark is reading.. I have always been interested in linux ever since I downloaded root and boot floppies for kernel version 0.97 in the 90's. I have tried linux on and off over the years and always found it to be unstable, lacking support - at least until i found Ubuntu. I have been a Ubuntu supporter since version 7 because it was the first distro I loaded that no matter what kind of desktop I threw at it, it ALWAYS seemed to load no problem and it offered a great set of featured applications right out of the box (ever try that with Windows installs?). Versions up through 8 or 9 I could even load on older PC's..I had 8.04 running on a P-II 450MHZ machine and a 233Mhz bondi blue iMac Rev A - avoided having to throw that hardware in the trash. I also appreciated the corporate philosophy of wanting to make software freely available to all people. Lately however, I have come to realize that with every new release support for older hardware is going away, increased graphic requirements and processing power are now a prerequisite..that's a sad thing to me because a lot of the software you are running like openoffice really doesn't need compositing and more advanced features. I've tried Xbuntu but I think a lot of users prefer a more polished interface..and gnome was just right..not too much..not too little...if you happened to have a GPU with good OpenGL support then you could have the eye candy, but otherwise it defaulted back to a usable generic system and that was great. I have more than one netbook and I thought that the netbook remix launcher was really cool for that platform, big ol' clunky fisher price icons, great for people not used to a desktop too - and there, on such a small screen playing with the window controls makes sense. However I'm afraid that I just don't care for Unity on the desktop. You are trying to simplify the desktop interface? How is Unity simpler than having three simple drop down menus at the top of the screen that say Applications, Places and Settings ? How is hiding the standard close, minimize, maximize buttons until you mouse over them simpler ? How is replacing the application menu with a composited, compartmentalized display with a ton of expand/collapse/close window controls simpler ? You are combining like the worst features of the windows vista start menu with the worst features of the OS X dock, and somehow the team believes that is an improvement? I used to recommend Ubuntu to ALL of my windows friends because it was RELIABLE (compared to windows) and the gnome desktop really WAS simpler than windows, very little learning curve. Now I can't really imagine anyone who is used to MS Windows being able to pick up how to navigate in Ubuntu without some serious tutoring help. You've just created the need to prompt first time users to go through an online training course. Actually that's not a bad idea, if you want people to feel comfortable then be the first distro that offers to walk people through the application interface (ala - remote control style) when they log on for the first time. I like unity on my netbook, but I am really disappointed running it on my full screen desktop. I am really disappointed in the direction this product is going. I upgraded to 11.10 and whenever I log on now I get a warning about not being able to find a proper scan mode..I wanted to get you the actual message but it is taking a while to open a terminal since I tried to click on the dash button and it took five seconds to load the menu, tried to click More Apps and it wouldn't do anything, clicked the Maximize button, it shaded the full screen and then I clicked More Apps again and it finally showed SOMETHING on the screen, but still now terminal - so I searched for terminal - and it found 7 things that said terminal so I clicked the one that said terminal but I didn't see that it was in the list of things that could be downloaded and installed and not in the list of things that were already installed..all of this JUST to open the terminal and view the X server logs??? You have GOT to be kidding right.. Oh and by the way, my system used to shut down practically instantaneously - now it just sits there for about 20 seconds after I click Yes I want to shut down and finally things start blinking away until the ubuntu logo comes up again.. I'm very disappointed. I just searched for and clicked to start the text editor so I could paste this in case the web interface hiccuped when I try to post and the text editor didn't even appear on my screen - are you kidding me? I started it a second time and it finally appeared. Is there a problem with my video chipset that is causing all of these issues.. I'm sorry Mark, I can't recommend Ubuntu anymore..windows now has a more reliable UI. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

Problem: the height of that window resizes to about 20px less than maximum. soon as I release it. Pressing anywhere in the top bar of that window again causes it to maximize correctly. I think this is related to the audio volume notifier to show up on the secondary monitor. I think it calculates the max window height and subtract the height of a top bar while there isn't a top bar there. Thanks for the excellent free OS so far.

[Bug 463010] Re: HP HDX16 failure to suspend/hibernate
I have the same problem using HP HDX 16 and Karmic Koala. I posted it here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Hardware/HP-HDX-16-BIOS- bug-suspend-thermal-info/m-p/221287 but I have no answer from HP. I'm pretty sure this is a BIOS related bug. This happened with dv5 model and it was solved by HP with a BIOS upgrade as you can see here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Hardware/HP-Please-fix-the- dv5-BIOS/td-p/71800 Thanks.
