[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1617675] [NEW] Evolution will not connect to Gmail

2016-08-27 Thread Thomas Sisson
Public bug reported: You're going to say this is not a bug. You may call it a feature request or any of many other not-a-bug issues. However, Evolution is locked into Gnome and many of the features and abilities of Gnome. I can use Thunderbird with no problem, but I can only use Evolution

2014-01-06 Thread Thomas Sisson
Since I am not a programmer, I cannot submit a patch. However, can't someone simply replace whatever is opening Nautilus with xdg-open? You don't even have to know how it works or where the files are. Just to be clear though, anything involving xdg uses XDG standards. If one is curious, or simply

2013-10-09 Thread Thomas Sisson
I think this is what you call a regression! It is back in Saucy, but I was not using gedit. I think the bug is in gsettings-data-convert regardless of the application running. ** Also affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1236652] [NEW] gnome-control-center crashed with SIGSEGV in cogl_context_new()

2013-10-07 Thread Thomas Sisson
Public bug reported: I clicked on the battery in gnome-panel, then clicked on Power Settings..., then gnome-control-center crashed before it opened. The panel was started from a terminal window because I had no panel after starting a Gnome session without gnome-shell starting. See Bug #1236651.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 697412] Re: Emacs won't start, complaining about font ending in a number

2013-07-20 Thread Thomas Sisson
Font handling for Emacs is still not fixed. This specific font may have been resolved, but there are many fonts out there that Emacs simply doesn't recognize. Is the bug present in Emacs 24? If not, why is the default version still 23? Is this just the fact that font management has changed so much

2013-07-18 Thread Thomas Sisson
Is this related to mesa and not being able to get the Gnome 3D desktop to load in 13.04 Raring? I ask because one recommendation was to install freeglut3-dev. When I try to install I get the same message: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...

It is marked as fixed here and at Gnome Bugzilla; however, the fix is in Gedit 3.7. I can't get that version from software updates. Seriously Ubuntu! If there is a fix, send it to all supported distributions. I don't care what your release cycle is. If it is fixed, then activate the update in all

2013-05-04 Thread Thomas Sisson
Please bring back kde-firefox-support. This fixes KDE integration for Firefox and Thunderbird. Without this, it leaves Nautilus as a running process which in itself creates another bug. Nautilus is such an aggressive application that it will try to take over the desktop. Why are Kubuntu users

This is a well-known bug. If you search for it on the Internet, it shows up everywhere. The actual behavior varies according to what desktop one has installed. For instance, KDE uses Kwallet instead of gnome-keyring. The KDE daemon wipes the password field so that it must be reentered, but the

Is anyone working on this? Can we have one combined bug for all of the multiple mouse freezing reports? Is there a way to stop the Janitor bot from closing it? Programmers may tend to use a desktop, but many users have laptops where this is a common issue. ** Also affects: firefox (Ubuntu)

I consider this broken, not a bug. Is anyone still working on this project; this is still not fixed four years later. Has anyone done anything with this? Seriously, Microsoft has been able to have this built in since Windows XP. Additionally, Linux now has a way of defining universal default

This behavior is still present in the most current versions (note message date) of Thunderbird on Ubuntu and SeaMonkey on Windows 7. It does appear to be an issue when applying after the fact to IMAP and POP mail. Someone commented about a search function for AOL. Every webmail account I have,
