[Bug 549723] Re: empathy doesn't autoconnect at startup
I think the problem here is Empathy doesn't get started at login, so you have to add it as a startup application. This is very unintuitive for the average user. -- empathy doesn't autoconnect at startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/549723 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 328575] Re: Cannot start gnome-terminal because of gconf error
I've tried to make it more clear that this should be considered a bug. I am very pleased: I didn't expect a positive/constructive reaction. This is great work, now it's up to gnome/gconf developers. Isn't it just providing settings that were configured when you still used GNOME? I never used GNOME on this installation =) If you had an empty ~/.gnome* and ~/.gconf*, wouldn't you get the same defaults as when gconfd isn't running at all? (try moving those directories aside before deleting them). I had .gnome2 and .gnome2_private directories in ~/, which I renamed before running gnome-settings-daemon. Didn't change anything, gnome-settings-daemon is still taking over. Moreover, my custom Openbox key bindings for XF86AudioPrev, XF86AudioNext, etc. don't work anymore once gnome-settings-daemon has been launched (even after g-s-d is killed). I guess really you just need gconfd, which is started by gnome-settings-daemon. Does running /usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconfd-2 change your themes and fonts? Or only g-s-d? If it's ok, then you could update the workaround to suggest just that, instead of g-s-d. Running this doesn't change anything, and, in fact, it exits immediately : -- tsubaka ~ # /usr/libexec/gconfd-2 [1] 12114 tsubaka ~ # (press enter) [1]+ Exit 1 /usr/libexec/gconfd-2 tsubaka ~ # -- Olivier Sessink provided a working way to launch gconfd-2 and then gnome-terminal, as root ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gconf2/+bug/328575/comments/42 ): The problem is that there is no session-dbus. The following lines of shell code start a session dbus, start gconfd and start the gnome-terminal #!/bin/sh eval 'dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session' /usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconfd-2 gnome-terminal add it to a script, and start the script. So in my case, it's a no-go for gnome-terminal, and I'm off using xfce's terminal emulator, which is just fine, and lightweight too =) -- Cannot start gnome-terminal because of gconf error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/328575 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 328575] Re: Cannot start gnome-terminal because of gconf error
Huh.. no it's not okay to turn it into a guide.. People have been using gnome-terminal as root for years. Lecturing them on the dangerousity of their ways is just an excuse not to fix the bug. I do not mean to attack you personally, but I just hate it when people say why do you do that anyway? or it's much better if you do it the other way when there is a real bug. While I understand Ubuntu is targeted at the general public (including very, very dumb users), well not only dumb users use it, I guess. Those should have the freedom to launch gnome-terminal as root, knowing and accepting the risk. As for me, I have turned to x11-terms/terminal (gentoo package terminology), which is the xfce terminal emulator. It has nearly all features from gnome-terminal, without the wont-launch-as-root bug. But I seriously hope this bug is fixed upstream in gnome-terminal. Additionally, running gnome-settings-daemon is not always an acceptable workaround, since it messes up with gtk+ themes, desktop background, etc. Gnome is a trustworthy partner, but an invasive ex. (ie. when you just want to stay friends = just run gnome applications) As a conclusion, well, I guess a guide is better than nothing.

[Bug 328575] Re: Cannot start gnome-terminal because of gconf error
I'm just re-confirming the same problem with today's latest updates (May 6, 2009). I only run *UBUNTUs now. I'm curious if this bug has cropped up on other distributions, eg RedHat, Suse, etc., or is it just in the UBUNTU family? If it isn't general then maybe its a *UBUNTU configuration quirk. Heya, just got there from Google, I report that I have the same problem under Gentoo, from updates today. I am aware it's not the place to report Gentoo bugs, just letting you know you're not the only ones having the bug. -- Cannot start gnome-terminal because of gconf error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/328575 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 157312] not showing all image thumbnails when zoomed
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus In a ~/Pictures directory with 300+ jpeg pictures, when using default zoom level (100%) viewed as icons all thumbnails are showed. Then switch to 150% OK, but when I zoom to 200%, then only first 100 pics are showed in thumbnail, other pictures are just tiny box (like 2x2 pixels). Pictures are arranged by name. When they are arranged by size the same pictures are still showed like tiny boxes. 400% zoom works fine. List view also works fine in any zoom. They were copied from a flash drive (windows comp) and the same thumbnails are not showed on it either. I have looked at picture properties and didn't find any pattern, some were created with photoshop ( V7.0 or CS), some with a quick time software...pictures are about 20-900kb in size. I'm not experiencing any problem with other software (gThumb, Gimp...). Temp solution: moved all pictures in other directory, but there are still that are not showing. Moved yet another time in other directory and all pictures had its thumnails.
