[Bug 1666875] Re: anacron does not execute cron.daily on start or restart
Sorry for my misleading earlier post. Both parts were wrong. 1. ConditionACPower=no means to run on battery only; to ignore AC, it must be empty. 2. The ANACRON_RUN_ON_BATTERY_POWER flag has no effect when anacron is launched via systemd. So in conclusion, it was mere coincidence that my approach had seemed to solve the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1666875 Title: anacron does not execute cron.daily on start or restart To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/anacron/+bug/1666875/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 661735] Re: Black screen on video playback
Same problem on xenial in an Acer Aspire One 255 (AOD255E), also in VLC. gnome-mplayer shows the video but at a very slow frame rate, and in cases where it has to scale the image up to make it fill the screen, the image quality is worse than on an Acer Aspire One 360 with VLC (same resolution, full screen, no frame skips). I guess that gnome-mplayer used software rendering, most probably because hardware video acceleration was unavailable. The latter would explain why other media players failed. Also a Thinkpad on precise started to have the all-black video problem some time in spring or summer of 2016; I had thought this was just an end-of-support thing precise is quite old now.

I don't know if this is related or a separate bug: Shortcuts whose non- control key (i.e. number or letter) differs from default (LANG=C ?) keyboard layout go out of work after reboot and also differ when used via VNC.

Notice the "zy" appering in your terminal. * (optional bonus) Connect via VNC, Super+z, Super+y, adds "zy" in terminal. * In xfce4-settings-manager -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts, define Super+z = xmessage zZzZz. * Go to your terminal, type Super+z. Notice the xmessage popping up and no additional "z" in your terminal. Super+y still inputs "y". * (optional bonus) Connect via VNC, type Super+z, notice a z in your terminal and no xmessage.

[Bug 1077355] [NEW] Clipboard transfer: Convert charset for non-UTF-8 peers
Public bug reported: When copying text from a german WinXP machine, umlauts were dropped or replaced by \x depending on which text editor I locally pasted it into. When copying local text and pasting it remotely, umlauts were replaced by pairs of strange symbols, indicating they might have been UTF-8 encoded twice. The first patch adds charset conversion functionality that can be activated by setting the environment variable REMMINA_VNC_REMOTE_CHARSET. Tested successfully with Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS, said WinXP peer and REMMINA_VNC_REMOTE_CHARSET="ISO-8859-15". The second patch is a cargo-cult work-around to allow compiling on the test machine, and should be avoided or replaced by a better fix if possible. The patches are based on the Remmina Git Repository at http://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-maint/remmina.git / commit 321ee0a3ded65ae0c00e055f301adfb6c78cec04 .
