Re: A small bug with power management in Ubuntu Desktop
I think that is still the case on 14.10 daily. I would suspect either upower or systemd (it's blurry IIRC as systemd wants to handle suspend stuff nowadays AFAIK).

Status of PyQt for 14.04
Hi. The Hardware Certification team is currently working on some applications that are using the Ubuntu SDK. We'd like to migrate away from having to maintain C++ bridge to our existing python3 codebase and instead use python directly. We'd like to know the status of PyQt by the time we release 14.04. 1) Will PyQt work with Python3? 2) Will PyQt work with QML? 3) Will PyQt work with the QML components from the Ubuntu SDK?

Well there is a bit of an interesting give and take here and it should be talked about. The people who complain about a player being slow to load are not the people that are really in the target any more its people who want more features but dont care if it takes 2-20 seconds to open. For me, I cannot agree at all, all features should be in plugins and by default applications should offer absolutely minimum features so that they load as quickly as possible. Then, as users wish to do something, the plugin can be loaded on demand - the currently situation is that all plugins are loaded automatically but this takes additional time. I disagree unless you can demonstrate that users are familiar with plugins, enjoy turning them on and off and in general are happy with this concept. I know how "good" plugins are from a developer's point of view but don't confuse software architecture with user interface design and usability. In my opinion the application is not important, the important part is common component library: a common playback component so that the user feels in control and familiar with the interface (regardless of using banshee in library or in ad-hoc mode), common codec support (so that there are no files which only open in one mode and force the user to hunt for 3rd party player that discards all integration benefits) and eventually common media library APIs so that 3rd party applications may integrate with your music, movies and photos (as evidenced by the surge of apps that do this on iOS with great success).

Re: Thoughts about Unity and some ideas for improvement

It's very dominated by super-num, super-w, super-s, super-a, super-t, etc. This is very nice for right-handed people, since you'd usually use the right hand for the mouse. But left-handed people would probably prefer to use the left hand for the mouse, forcing them to move between the mouse and keyboard fairly often. I don't know any left handed person that also uses left hand for using the mouse. Perhaps my sample data is rare but that's what I observed. (I am left handed as well) Best regards ZK -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
