[Bug 1132063] Re: Mouse settings missing from Mouse & Touchpad dialog
Same problem on brand new 15.10 installed yesterday. From searching Google, I see that plugging in a wired mouse brings the settings back, and the pointer speed settings affects both mice. So, I've been able to make the needed adjustment, and it persists. However, disconnecting the wired USB mouse makes the settings again disappear (but the adjustment persists).

[Bug 876929] Re: Evince crashes (segfault) under Unity with a custom theme
Hi Jamie, Thanks for the help, although I'm not sure the actions you propose will fix the problem. /local/stores/morse is just a place I store large files on a separate partition and has nothing to do with evince. I relocate /usr/local to /srv/system/usr/local, a separate parition, and create a symlink so as to preserve /usr/local contents across fresh installs (which I typically perform instead of dist upgrades). The only way I think /usr/local - /srv/system/usr/local could be involved is that /usr/local/share/mime/mime.cache appears to be used by evince. Why mime.cache is kept on /usr/local by debian / ubuntu is a mystery to me; it's the one file that has prevented me from unmount /usr/local in the past on previous installs -- by convention and perhaps by POSIX standards, the OS should not by definition and by default not have any dependencies on /usr/local, but that's another matter and not that big a deal. :) At any rate, I'm using evince fine since moving my trivial theme customizations from $HOME/.themes to /usr/share/themes ($HOME=/home/morse, on a separate /home partition; $HOME != /local/morse) and I appreciate the all the help. So, the main issue is resolved -- that I wasn't able to use evince at the time. However, I do believe that the theme customization issue remains unresolved (i.e., I shouldn't have to / it's bad form to change files in /usr/share), but that's another bug for another time. :) Thanks again and best wishes, Doug -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/876929 Title: Evince crashes (segfault) under Unity with a custom theme To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/876929/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 876929] [NEW] Evince crashes (segfault) under Unity with a custom theme
Public bug reported: I have created a custom theme -- a trivial derivation of Ubuntu 11.10's stock Ambiance them, with the only changes being changing the selection color from orange to blue (1 color change in 3 files) -- and everything works fine except that evince crashes with a segfault. I have run strace on evince -- attached -- of which the last four lines are: access(/home/morse/.themes/Dougs Theme/gtk-3.0/gtk.css, F_OK) = 0 open(/home/morse/.themes/Dougs Theme/gtk-3.0/gtk.css, O_RDONLY) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++ All the relevant directories (/home, /home/morse, /home/morse/.themes/, etc.) are either mode 755 or 700, files are mode 600, and all have uid/gid that is my account. So, I'm quite puzzled as to why evince is getting a permission denied error, and even more so as to why this would result in a segfault. Any help most appreciated, as I use evince all the time and it's rather annoying having to change my theme back to Ambiance just to get evince to work, whereas all other apps I've used since upgrading to 11.10 work just fine with my slightly customized theme.

OK, just now I backed up /usr/share/themes/Ambiance to /usr/share/themes/Ambiance.DIST and made the same three trivial changes to the them -- changed selected_bg_color from #f07746 to #008ab8 in gtk-3.0/settings.ini, gtk-3.0/gtkrc, and gtk-2.0/gtkrc -- and switched to this updated Ambiance theme.

[Bug 591693] Re: Wrong browser is launched when double clicking a link desktop entry (.desktop) file
Hi, I seem to have a very similar problem: default browser of Firefox seems to work fine across the board EXCEPT for when I double-click on a .desktop file acting as a URL (i.e., like with Jakob, created by dragging a link to the desktop). In my case, however, Opera is the correct browser. At one point in time, I did have Opera set as the default browser, but that was about 6 months ago. This is the first time I've created desktop URL links, however, and hence also the first time I'm experiencing this problem. -- Wrong browser is launched when double clicking a link desktop entry (.desktop) file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/591693 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 591693] Re: Wrong browser is launched when double clicking a link desktop entry (.desktop) file
[possibly SOLVED] I have located and corrected the bug, at least in my case. SHORT ANSWER Edit $HOME/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list, find the section [Added Associations] and within that section fine a line that starts with text/html= and make your preferred browser the FIRST entry after the equal sign (=). LONG ANSWER The file $HOME/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list seems to be the first thing checked for running a .desktop file (see attached example), even preempting System - Preferences - Preferred Applications and alternatives set by running sudo update-alternatives --config x-www- browser. The first part of my mimeapps.list file used to be: [Added Associations] text/html=opera.desktop;firefox.desktop;[] and I changed it to: [Added Associations] text/html=firefox.desktop;opera.desktop;[] As soon as I did so, double-clicking on a .desktop link / URL started opening firefox instead of opera (which is what I wanted). (Note that I also deleted the mimeinfo.cache file in the same directory, by I'm confident it was not the source of the problem -- I can explain why if needed). Thus, it would appear that whatever entry comes FIRST on the text/html= line is what Gnome runs when a user double-clicks on a desktop URL file. IMHO this is a bug, as I would think that most users, such as Jakob and myself, expect the Preferred Application setting be used, not some setting in a file that we have to know about and can only affect by editing manually. More generally, I suspect this behavior holds for all entries listed under the [Added Associations] section. I would suggest that, if more than one association exists for a file type specified in this section, Gnome then include an Open with... option on the right-clicking on the .desktop file, and that the subsequent dialog box allowing the user to select which program to run also have a checkbox with labeled something like Remember this application for '' files. When checked, Gnome would then re-order the corresponding entry in the [Added Associations] section such that the choosen application is listed first. In other words, I think that right-clicking on a .desktop file should give the same Open with... options as when right-clicking on a non-.desktop file. Granted, the underlying implementation might be notably different, because Gnome would have to look *inside* the .desktop file to get the mimetype instead of just examining the filename extension, but I can't imagine that doing so would be that difficult. ** Attachment added: mimeapps.list https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/591693/+attachment/1613010/+files/mimeapps.list -- Wrong browser is launched when double clicking a link desktop entry (.desktop) file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/591693 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 467668] Re: [regression-release] Neither compiz nor metacity nor nautilus are run at start
@Leo Yes, correct. My apologies, I misspoke. What I should have wrote is: What we can be relatively certain of now is that, at a minimum, something within the $HOME/.config folder is implicated as the source of the problem, and at a maximum the source does not extend beyond $HOME. I can say that I don't think that, at least in my case, it's limited to just .config and .compiz -- not long ago (albeit Karmic, not yet Lucid), I move .config, .compiz elsewhere, and also remove .cached, .gconfd, and a few other reasonable candidate cache / session type files/folders from console session (tty1) and then logged in again via gdm (tty7). No joy, still the same problems. Again, just FYI, in case it helps. I expect that, in my and more complicated cases, the solution may simply be to create a new, empty homedir, reconfigure all GUI components again manually, and then repopulate homedir with data and carefully repopulate other dotfiles and dotdirs (i.e., one at a time or in small groups) so as not to re-introduce the entanglement. Just not something that I have time to do right now and I am holding out hope that, once it's determined what the problem is within .config and/or .compiz, the information from that discovery might help me hunt down what's going on in my homedir. Right now, for me, the problem seems to be too much of a complex and complicated interaction.

[Bug 467668] Re: [regression-release] Neither compiz nor metacity nor nautilus are run at start
Hi Rob, Per your request in bug #572617 -- my apologies for mis-posting there -- I removed my workarounds, moved my ~/.config directory to a backup location, reboot the system, and then logged back on. This most decidedly did NOT fix the problem. Indeed, it create quite a mess, wherein, depending on what I tried to fix the mess, I'd get either (a) just a blank desktop with only my desktop background image, that is, no awn, no panels, not right-clicking on the desktop for a menu, simply nothing (in these cases, switching to tty1, I saw that compiz.decorator was running, but not compiz), or (b) a semi-normal desktop but desktop appearances set to none and no awn. Regarding (b), if I selected extra in System Preferences Appearance, well, many things would happen, all of them bad. Sometimes gnome-appeance-properties would then say Searching for drivers and then sometimes it would return to the Appearances dialog and other times it would say Could not set desktop effects. At other times, gnome-appeance-properties would seem to then do something that started a run-away loop; it's hard to explain, but it *seemed* like compiz was continually restarting and/or perhaps fighting with metacity? Nothing did would then restore my desktop to a functional state. Restoring my original .config directory and, either re-enabling my workarounds or not, nothing did the trick. I had to restore my home directory from the previous day and that did, finally, get me back to a working desktop. Thus, I strongly suspect that the problem is NOT just in a user's .config directory. What all happened after I let gnome recreate a .config dir, and the fact that restoring my original .config directory did not fix the problem, are the primary reasons I think this. have other reasons to believe the problem lies not just in the .config directory, due to previous experiences that I've had, but I won't elaborate on them here. I'm probably stating the obvious, but it seems pretty clear that it's some sort of timing / sequencing or coordination issue between multiple components, perhaps compiz and gnome/gconf, maybe even the display drivers and/or metacity? From one of the times that I logged in and my desktop hung at displaying my background image, I've attached: (a) the last 23 lines of my dmesg file -- you can see the nvidia driver cycling, (b) my .xession-errors file from the same point in time. I observed nearly identical behavior on my 1yr old laptop with ATI radeon 3200 HD before implementing my workaround, so I don't think this is just a driver issue, either (although perhaps an interaction). Lastly, I did create a new users and logging in / out as that user, with desktop effects set to extra worked just find, and gnome did not forget that extra had been set for this user. I believe this tells us that the problem is limited to a users home directory, but not limited to just the .config directory. If I have some time soon (I doubt it, but who knows), I may try tackling this in reverse: create a new user *without* the problem and see what I can do to recreate the problem. Hope this helps, and thanks for your efforts on this.

[Bug 572617] Re: [regression-release] Session manager lacks backward compatibility, making the desktop session unusable
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 467668 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/467668 Hi, Me too. On an older desktop, which I just upgraded to Lucid from Karmic and which had *none* of these problems before the upgrade, the only solution that works is (b) compiz --replace as a startup item. This machine uses the older nvidia 96 drivers. On a very new laptop, which I just upgraded to Lucid from Karmic and *already* had these kind of problems before the upgrade, the only solution that works is (b) compiz --replace as a startup item. This machine uses the new ati fglrx 8.723 drivers (2:8.723-1 in the repos). Also, for both machines and after implementing the above workaround(s), selecting Start Awn automatically under Dock Preferences does *not* work. So, for both machines: I deselect this option, create /usr/local/bin/awn-delayed as simple shell script which simply runs sleep 5; avant-window-navigator, and then I create a startup item that calls /usr/local/bin/awn-delayed . (Without the sleep 5 command, awn seems to start before compiz, probably because in my workaround compiz is running as a startup program, not as the gnome default window manager, as would normally be the case. Others may need to adjust the sleep time up or down according to their machine's speed.) These two workarounds seem to get me machines that, when I log into them, behave as I expect and as I think they ought to in Ubuntu by default: Compiz starts (and extra shows up as selected in the System - Preferences - Appearances dialog) and AWN starts.
