[Bug 1163021] [NEW] Control centre Appearance panel crashes while rendering thumbnails
Public bug reported: When I open the Appearance panel in the GNOME Control Centre, it begins loading thumbnails for candidate background images, but after a few screenfuls (several seconds) it crashes. This used to be a problem (probably somewhere about 10.X and 11.X, but I can't quite remember) but then somewhere along the way I *think* it stopped happening. But I don't try to change the background image at all frequently... well, now I've tried and it's either still happening or happening once again. The backtrace I see when running gnome-control-center from the command line suggests it's crashing in font rendering while producing a thumbnail of an SVG file. I'm quite willing to assist further if desired. $ lsb_release -rd Description:Ubuntu Raring Ringtail (development branch) Release:13.04 $ apt-cache policy gnome-control-center gnome-control-center-unity gnome-control-center: Installed: 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu18 Candidate: 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu18 Version table: *** 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu18 0 500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status gnome-control-center-unity: Installed: 1.2daily13.04.01-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1.2daily13.04.01-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1.2daily13.04.01-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ProblemType: Crash DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 Package: gnome-control-center 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu18 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-15.25-generic 3.8.4 Uname: Linux 3.8.0-15-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 CrashCounter: 1 Date: Tue Apr 2 08:40:33 2013 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/gnome-control-center InstallationDate: Installed on 2010-01-06 (1181 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala - Release amd64 (20091027) MarkForUpload: True ProcCmdline: gnome-control-center Signal: 6 SourcePackage: gnome-control-center StacktraceTop: raise () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 abort () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 ??

[Bug 1086806] Re: Rhythmbox encoder missing plugin
I confirm that this used to work for me (probably in 11.10, don't think I tried ripping any CDs in 12.04) but I discovered today that it is broken in 12.10. I am also using a 64-bit installation. This is rather a nuisance, as it means I can't use Rhythmbox to rip CDs for use on another device without a CD drive. Likewise, I am quite willing to provide any information which may be helpful to identifying and fixing the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1086806 Title: Rhythmbox encoder missing plugin To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/1086806/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 993253] [NEW] Turning off on-screen keyboard leaves it on the locked screen
Public bug reported: System Settings - Universal Access - Typing - Screen keyboard is initially disabled. When it is enabled, it may (I can't remember whether or not it did the first time) ask whether you wish to activate it on the dialogue to unlock the screen (stating that Onboard is configured to appear then, but it is disabled in the system). If it does, say yes. Now lock the screen. The on-screen keyboard shows. Turn off the on-screen keyboard in System Settings. Now lock the screen. The on-screen keyboard shows; I didn't want it to. That's why I turned it off. There is a gsettings option which is pertinent to this, org.gnome.desktop.screensaver.embedded-keyboard-enabled. This is accessible through Onboard Settings (wholly outside gnome-control- center) by unticking Show when unlocking the screen. While it is possible to disable it from Onboard Settings, it should be disabled from the Control Centre in the same way. The current behaviour is confusing and unsettling.

[Bug 533050] Re: Editing item with ampersand breaks XML
At the time it was 9.10 with the standard version of Alacarte. The way I did this at first was like this: 1. Install Google Chrome 2. Go to a URL which has a query string with multiple arguments - thus a floating ampersand in it. For example, http://launchpad.net?; 3. Click on the Page button and select Create Application Shortcuts... 4. Tick Applications menu and press OK 5. A menu item appears in the menu in Applications - Internet 6. Start Alacarte (this time I ran it from the command line as alacarte rather than via the menus, to get stdout and stderr) 7. Find the added item 8. Disable it (editing it would probably have worked as well, I think) 9. Watch the menu break With 10.04 though, I can't reproduce this. It seems to me that the bug has been fixed in between alacarte versions 0.12.4-0ubuntu2 and 0.13.1-0ubuntu1. So under that assumption, I'm closing this bug report as fixed.
