[Bug 1056279] [NEW] Window snapping disable
Public bug reported: In Ubuntu 12.04, I'm tired of application windows that automatically move and snap to screen edge as you use them. They snap as soon as you place your cursor on any other object in the workspace. Very annoying. Others have complained about this behavior but I never discovered any user solutions using the Ubuntu forums. No amount of tinkering in CompizConfig Settings Manager seems to help. I also want the ability to move a window halfway off the screen to temporarily get it out of my way (while working in GIMP). Automatic snapping makes this impossible. Any application window that is manually moved halfway off the screen will immediately jump back in as you touch your cursor to any other workspace object. Question: Has this auto-snapping problem been addressed and fixed for the upcoming Quantal Quetzal release? (I use the Classic interface.) One note: Window snapping of this sort has never occurred in Windows 7 and I'm distressed that, in this respect, the Canonical product is inferior to Microsoft. Also, if I remember correctly, automatic window snapping did NOT occur in Ubuntu versions prior to 12.04. That suggests to me that in 12.04 the snapping behavior is a true bug that cannot be disabled by any changes to configuration settings. ** Affects: compiz (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1056279 Title: Window snapping disable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1056279/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1056279] Re: Please disable the snap plugin
Hello Everyone. Thanks for thinking about this snapping problem. I'm afraid Omer is mistaken about the GRID option in CompizConfig. It has never been enabled on my machine--yet, the problem persists. In addition, the SNAPPING WINDOWS option has never been enabled in my CompizConfig settings either. Like other users, I've found that the only way to stop the automatic snapping is to disable PLACE WINDOWS in CompizConfig. Doing that, though, creates another very undesirable behavior where any new window that's turned on shoots to the upper left screen and is placed so high that it's Title/Control Bar is not visible. Hardly a good situation. This snapping mess was discussed as early as September 2010 in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1582142highlight=window+snap Let me say this: I really don't care if 12.04 is fixed. I really don't. What I do care about is that a problem that's been identified for many months is fixed and put to bed before October 18 and Quantal Quetzal. Can someone tell me if Quetzal is free of this problem? :-) I hope the answer is yes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1056279 Title: Please disable the snap plugin To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/1056279/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Flash Audio Issues
Hi All, I have a problem that I have not seen reported anywhere. Maybe someone here has a clue. I installed Ubuntu Studio over Ubuntu 10.04 (AMD64) Then upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 I am using an Alesis iO2 Express USB audio interface for my electric guitar. All of my apps and hardware work just fine for recording and playback. Including apps that are not JACK aware (i.e. Sound Recorder, Skype). The problem is with Flash apps. It is not browser dependent. Same symptoms any browser. For playback they generally work. Occasionally I will lose audio on video or just audio playback. Reloading the page sometimes fixes it. Sometimes I have to restart the OS. :-( But one thing that doesn't work at all is my microphone (internal or external) with flash such as Livemocha.com and others that I need it for professionally. The flash apps see the microphone but I get no audio to the app. The situation is the same with or without the USB audio interface plugged in. Any ideas at all on how to trace this down?

Or, how do I finally get sound. I have projects on hold as it's necessary to get unrelated work out. Would like to know how you know if you have 2.6.35-17 lowlatency or only 2.6.32-25 lowlatency?

Re: Maverick and RT
Hi All, I am not trying to start a flame war. Although I am a newbie here and new to using real time kernels. I am not new to computers (since 1976) nor to open source (since 1994). As such, I think that I am in a position to say the below and I am *not* picking on Jeremy. He just happens to be the one that wrote this email. If you are not in a position to be able to write code etc. Then there are a ton of other things you can do to help. Actively recruit on other mailing lists for people to help out the author. I see college students all the time looking for projects like this on the Google Summer of Code mailing lists. Help Alessio put together a project plan and specific tasks that will interest the GSoC team so the project gets accepted in next years list. Cash incentives may or may not be interesting to Alessio. But think about this. If you, like Jeremy, *cannot work* without realtime support. Then what is the benefit of this project worth to you? Probably a great deal. Pool some users together and come up with some money. Your alternative(s) are what? Probably spending lots of cash on proprietary solutions. If a group of you cannot come up with enough cash to make it interesting for Alessio then you can probably hire a couple of college undergrads that love music and love computer science. Pay them to accomplish certain tasks as laid out by Alessio. Or to fix certain bugs or add enhancements you want. My point is that there are a number of ways to help. Remember that Alessio's time has value. Depending on your perspective it has different values for each of us. This is not a capitalist community. But you need to look inside yourself and see if yo are contributing to the betterment of the community or just living off of it. This is kind of a rhetorical email. As I said, it isn't meant to pick on anyone. In fact, it isn't even helpful to discuss the abilities of any individual to contribute. It is best if you decide how and what you can contribute. But, contribute you must. otherwise these types of project do not continue. Have a great day all.

It would be great if a real-time kernel would be available for 11.04 again, which depends of course if there will be a real-time patchset available for the kernel 11.04 will ship with. Afaik the current RT patchset maintainer is Thomas Gleixner. But I'd like to stress that I MIGHT be able to help out, it also depends if other people want to participate and if I have enough time (I am before all an active musician). Speaking for myself, I can't work without a real-time kernel. I need the tasklet API that a real-time kernel provides so I can use rtirq. Without rtirq my FireWire devices don't work properly at low latencies or don't work at all. And even on systems that run well without a real-time kernel I prefer using such a kernel so that I can get the best performance out of my systems.

So if you have a Vocals input and import your karaoke tracks; when you start Ardour you start singing. You should be able to use JACK to route the Ardour master channels to your server input. ??? I am not sure what you mean by live tracks. Are you using a live band?

You will need to specifically install the linux-rt package, after which GRUB will automatically allow you to choose from the kernels. Thanks Brian. Actually I took the time to look it up myself (cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg) and found that I have both the -rt kernel and the -preempt kernel installed. However, the last time I did any editing in GRUB was before GRUB 2.x In GRUB 2.x you have to edit /etc/default/grub NOT the grub.cfg file. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 So I found now GRUB looks for a SHIFT key held down during the delay period (default = 10 secs. ) so now I will checkout using each of the kernels to see if I can get rid of the few xruns I have. Which is only about 20 / hour on the generic kernel but I am running 256 frames/period and 3 periods/buffer.

Personally, I've found that the RT kernel is the only one that gives me the performance I want. For Maverick you can try Alessio's. https://launchpad.net/~abogani/+archive/ppa Thanks. Well, I did some experimenting today and maybe I do not have the settings all perfected. Which is likely since I do not really know what each one does. But to compare apples with apples I ran jackd with Ardour with the same simple project. In both cases; 2.6.32-25-preempt 2.6.31-11-rt Ubuntu SMP x86_64 GNU/Linux were worse at creating xruns than the generic kernel. Now I *know* this is nonsensical however I do not know of another way to test to see which kernel I should be booting. I also need the machine for email and web browsing. There seemed to be very little if any performance differences in those categories between the various kernels. But this is subjective and not verified in any quantitative manner.

Amateurs ???
Hi All, This seems to be a fairly low volume list. I am wondering if there are other amateurs like myself using UbuntuStudio? I just picked up a guitar again after not playing for 30 years. I wanted to start learning to play Blues properly. In order to track my progress I wanted to make recordings of my practices. I started with Audacity on Ubuntu 10.04, Inspiron Laptop with 4GB of RAM. Audacity does way more than I need but as I started learning about using the real time kernel I found UbuntuStudio and decided to give it a shot. Now I am having as much fun playing with the recording and effects tools as I am playing guitar. I bought the Alesis iO2 Express USB interface and after a bit of a learning curve on setting it up it works great with JACK and Ardour. There are so many great tools to use I hope I can at least provide some feedback for all the hard working developers on these projects. As an open source developer myself. I know I like to hear that people are getting some benefit from the work. Thanks to those developers for such an awesome set of apps.

No, sorry I do not. This was during an upgrade from Ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04 *BUT* bzr had mysteriously stopped working previously saying that it could not find bzrlib. I checked the PYTHONPATH and in fact bzrlib was in the PYTHONPATH using Python 2.5.2 I've tried reinstalling the bundle and that still fails. Not much output from that either. Can you give me some hints to completely purge bzr so I can retry installation?

RESOLVED! An attempt to uninstall using Synaptic revealed that it couldn't remove the directory from site-packages/bzrlib (sorry I didn't bother to look at the files inside for more info) because it wasn't empty. I know that there were no subdirs and atleast ann __init__.py Anyway, I manually deleted the directory and did a reinstall.
