[Bug 1222618] [NEW] Additional Driver choices don't always correspond correctly to installation actions

2013-09-08 Thread Derek Monner
Public bug reported: TL;DR: Double-check the indexing of radio buttons in the Additional Drivers dialog and how they correspond to installation actions, because there's something fishy going on. I have a Radeon HD 6870, and on a fresh 13.04 install I wanted to install proprietary drivers for it.

There seem to possibly be several different issues going on here, but I'll tell you how I worked around one of them. My symptoms were: Banshee is playing music, monitor goes off due to machine idle, Banshee continues playing until end of track and then stops. When I move the mouse to get the

I lost a video card over the weekend, so unfortunately I can't test the proposed fix of disabling and re-enabling the Animations plugin. However, I can provide my CCSM configuration related to the Animations plugin, which I've attached. It was generated with `gconftool-2 -R

I'm on Oneiric with all the -proposed updates, and I've been seeing this issue for a month or longer, but I don't use any apps that do HTML5 notifications. The main time I seem to see these white boxes pop up is when clicking links from another app (e.g. pidgin, hotot) that open in chrome. Also

One more thing: I'll second the observation that the size of the white box seems related to the size of the window being opened. Others have reported that, when the box is caused by an HTML5 notification, it is the same size as that notification's normal window. When I see white boxes pop up after

I see this behavior as well under Unity, even with global menus disabled (i.e. I uninstalled indicator-appmenu). Even with the profile setting Show menubar by default in new terminals unchecked, when I launch a new gnome-terminal, the menubar is displayed. As Victor described, the Show menubar

There is also discussion of indicator-multiload as the source of the memory leak in #720446. Look in particular at comments #42 and #44 there. These say that: 1) the leak does not occur when using indicator- multiload in Classic, only in Unity; and 2) indicator-multi-load is, every second, loading

@Robotex: Yes, that's true, but it misses the point I was trying to make. There is the system indicator applet (which lives in the gnome panel) that *looks* just like indicator-multiload (which lives in the indicator area), and I agree that these are different programs with different codebases.
