Re: Tracker live search in Deskbar applet by default?

Coincidentally, I was just wondering why Tracker results weren't showing up in Deskbar, and how to make them do so. Unless there are *serious* performance problems, I don't see why Live Search shouldn't be on by default.

Inclusion of theora beta 1 for gutsy
Hi all, I would like to propose the inclusion of libtheora beta 1 in gutsy. The latest version provides more spec compliant decoder and performance improvement in encoding/decoding. I have tested totem, mplayer and ffmpeg2theora and haven't found any breakage so far. Performance looks to be improved but that may be just my personal observation. I have test packages in my ppa which you can try. The ppa address is http://ppa.launchpad.net/onkarshinde/ubuntu Notes: 1. I have created new packages today by syncing to debian package. Unfortunately I can not upload the latest package due to version problem i.e. 1.0.beta1.dfsg-0ubuntu1 (my old package) vs libtheora_1.0~beta1-1ubuntu1 (created from the package in debian) 2. Due to above mentioned problem, I have all the files in a .tar.gz hosted at http://onkarshinde.googlepages.com/theora.tar.gz. It contains source package as well as binary packages.

Also, the performance of the current Compiz default settings feels a bit lower than Metacity on my Dell X1 (Pentium M 1.1 GHz, Intel i915GMS).

Q. Why do so many processes owned by me have PPID=1?
Hi, Just wondering if someone could explain the mechanism of gnome desktop
with respect to processes.
In particular gnome-terminal has PPID=1
If I launch apps from gnome-panel this seems to be the case by default. I
assume this is by design?
Just trying to get more insights into how things work and also because some
user processes sometimes
take up resources suddenly and it's not immediately clear whether processes
with PPID=1 have
been left behind or are legitimate.

I find it interesting that you call other ways to look at bug statuses 'odd', while not considering that maybe your intepretation sounds odd to me (and probably to others as well). Of course, if it was all obvious we wouldn't even be having this discussion. :-) The original motivation was to have a status meaning: The bug isn't our fault, and we're not going to do anything to fix or work around it, other than notifying the bug's actual source. (E.g. notifying upstream if we're a distribution, or notifying the relevant distribution if we're upstream.) But other people will still have the problem and search for it, so it should still appear in search results by default. As opposed to Invalid, which doesn't appear in search results by default. On further thought, though, that use of Won't Fix still suffers from the scalability problem I mentioned earlier. Ten years from now, for any search you did, a large chunk of the results would likely be ancient Won't Fix bugs. And if we fixed that by hiding Won't Fix in search results by default, then it would be functionally identical to Invalid, so there'd be no point in having both statuses after all. BTW, when the mozilla team setup their workflow, there wasn't a state Won't fix at all ... and _rejecting_ upstream bugs on ubuntu side is just hard to explain to reporters and definitly triggers noise in the bug from unhappy reporters. (and btw, I think the same is still valid for |Won't fix|). Yes, I agree that's a problem. I wonder if Declined would be a more pacific name. Anyway, I am open to look at bug statuses used by mozillateam again, but not before you have landed your _final_ one and only great way to triage bugs ;). ... Fair enough, I'll get back to you in a couple of years. ;-) Meanwhile, though, you'll have occasional confusion as people used to reporting bugs elsewhere in Launchpad encounter the different meanings you're using.
