[Bug 1327407] Re: gnome-session-flashback missing dependencies
That's all well and good, but when I 'apt-get install gnome-session- flashback' and restart I see nothing but the same text login prompt, and there's no indication of what should be installed to have this session actually launch. To me, that brings up the notion that dependencies be set so the package can "provide a significant amount of functionality." Surely there's something gnome-session-flashback can depend on (even indirectly). Why not an "or" list if X11/Wayland is what is Depended upon. Or, if there's nothing to Depend on, how about at least mark as Suggests or Recommends the package/packages that would launch this session. Do I need to install GDM/LightDM to launch this? I barely know what LightDM is, and that's why I'd want the package to tell me what I need to use it. Sure it's my opinion that installing gnome-session-flashback should require the installation of something that would launch the package, but I think that's a fair opinion. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1327407 Title: gnome-session-flashback missing dependencies To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/1327407/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1327407] [NEW] gnome-session-flashback missing dependencies
Public bug reported: gnome-session-flashback doesn't seem to depend (even indirectly) on lightdm, xorg, or any choosers, and it doesn't seem useful without these dependencies. I would expect to be able to start with a base system without X, request installation of gnome-session-flashback, and have everything pulled in to get a flashback session going. Or am I missing some use for the package that doesn't include even the xorg dependency? Background: We use ubuntu systems in critical experimental control, so we prefer to avoid pieces we don't need. Therefore, we've been starting with server installs and pulling in the minimum pieces to match our requirements. Our users prefer flashback, and we'd hoped that installing gnome-session-flashback would pull in the minimum dependencies to get a session running. ** Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1327407 Title: gnome-session-flashback missing dependencies To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/1327407/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1035701] Re: grilo plugins should be enabled in Totem
Just to be clear about what happened above, in the Janitor's message, this bug was fixed in 3.6.0-0ubuntu1~12.10.1 but then (immediately?) unfixed in 3.6.3-0ubuntu1... is that right?

[Bug 299112] Re: VNC Very Slow after Intrepid Upgrade
Sebastien, your excuses for imperfect software weren't exactly (and continue to not be) constructive in the first place. Right: there are bugs here. Right: perfect software is impossible, especially with too few resources. But so what? Accept the flaw and deal; the development problems at Ubuntu aren't any of our business. The buck stops at Ubuntu, and if that means volunteers are to blame then so be it. In any case, bugzilla.gnome.org already has the bug report, though I don't have the bug number immediately at hand. They believe it has something to do with passing too many mouse events, I believe, though last I checked there was no solid proposed solution. With regard to Ubuntu, it's entirely legitimate to report the bug here as well as it may be possible for Ubuntu to roll back to the previous release of Vino since this one is unusable. At the very least, a user might not know that bugzilla.gnome.org was the proper place to report bugs in Vino... lord knows I had a little trouble looking for a homepage for the project. -- VNC Very Slow after Intrepid Upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/299112 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 299112] Re: VNC Very Slow after Intrepid Upgrade
Sebastien, I found your "don't blame the volunteers!" reply personally insulting and, more importantly, inappropriate and unhelpful for the present bug. Was that supposed to be PR? We bring up the "how did this get through" not to blame, obviously, but to highlight the severity of the bug: this is no annoying quirk or minor regression; this bug makes Ubuntu's VNC implementation immediately and completely unusable if there is a standard residential internet connection involved. Any testing under residential conditions should have shown it immediately. But since we've crossed that bridge, I will say this: if you can't properly test an update--whether because you don't have the resources, man hours, infrastructure, or whatever--you're still on the hook for the results. If you can't sufficiently test then I suggest you don't release. The regressions in the past few versions of Ubuntu are staggering, disastrous even, and no excuses change that fact. So yeah: blame the volunteers if that's where the blame lies. They may be overworked and faced with an impossible task, but that doesn't somehow absolve them of the blame. That's life in the real world. -- VNC Very Slow after Intrepid Upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/299112 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
