[Bug 983291] Re: Screen Rotation options only Counterclockwise Clockwise
Reproducible on 14.04.1. Indeed it has to do with the max total display size in 3d mode: Requested size (2304, 800) exceeds 3D hardware limit (2048, 2048). You must either rearrange the displays so that they fit within a (2048, 2048) square. Solution: - Drag the extra monitor *under* the laptop monitor - select laptop monitor and then external monitor again (this reinitializes the dropdown box for screen orientation) - pick orientation 'normal'. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/983291 Title: Screen Rotation options only Counterclockwise Clockwise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/983291/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 899952] [NEW] Nautilus: Browsing filesystem using keyboards is unworkable
Public bug reported: In ancient 2.x versions, in a directory I could just type the name of a subdir and it would be selected. I could use backspace to correct my typing. If I hit enter, the subdir is opened and I can type a new string to select the subdir's contents. This is my desired behavior. In Nautilus 3.2.1, this doesn't work. The actual behavior is very confusing and annoying. Image a directory /dir/sub1/sub2 and nautilus browsing /dir. Actions: problem 1: Type 'sub1a'. Oops, typo: hit backspace. Nautilus will send you to / instead of deleting the last char 'a' from the text field. problem 2: Because backspace doesn't work, I tried using the delete button in my textfield after selecting the appropriate characters. This doesn't work either: it even deletes the selected files (so although I have a blinking cursor in a text-field, the 'delete' key does not act there. Just like with the backspace) problem 3: Do it again, in /dir/ now type 'sub1'. Hit enter. Now type 'sub2'. Nothing is selected, because the textfield shows sub1. Bottom line: Browsing with the keyboard is half-supported, which is arguably worse than not supporting it at all. This half-supported functionality keeps tricking me and it is frustrating. The functionality of 2.x was more intuitive. It was not in the way of other users, but it made me efficient and happy. ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: consistency control keyboard nautilus usability -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/899952 Title: Nautilus: Browsing filesystem using keyboards is unworkable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/899952/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 40441] audio-preview in nautilus is actually unpleasant
Public bug reported: Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed Description: I think the audio-preview thing (hold your mouse one an audio-file in nautilus, hear it playing) should not be enabled by default. I understand this is a very subjective topic, but anyway: 1) Audio files can not be simultaneously previewed like images can. You always want to listen only one file at a time. 2) previewing an audio-file is interrupting in the sense that you can't ignore it. You can ignore an image thumbnail in nautilus. 3) If I want to hear a file, I open it in totem. Then I can scroll the track, and switch between files faster. The only time I use the nautilus-audio-preview feature is when it's activated accidentily, and then it's just alarming me (as in frightening/shocking). It's an interesting feature, but I personally don't think it's a very good idea after all. Beyond my given objections, it doesn't offer anything I can't do with totem. On top of that, if I *want* to use the feature, it doesn't even always work, so trying to use it is more frustrating than just using totem.

I don't know what your plans with switch-user and lock are, but those two icons are images now while the others are abstract symbols. This already was so previously, only now the logout icon is a symbol, too. Maybe this arrowmania could be amplified with the following new icons: * lock-screen: a circle with a cross through it * switch user: a circle with one arrow pointing inwards and another making a circular movement inside the circle That way we'd be more consistent AND cryptic at the same time! ;-) Ok, I'm kidding, actually I think it would make more sense to keep the door-exit symbol for logout, and maybe it'd be possible to make a frozen computer symbol for hibernate (frozen is a good idea, but no-one will get your blue-icon-reference).

Upstream bug: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=235atid=100235func=detailaid=1414923 has been closed, because they give a workaround: take http://gaim.sourceforge.net/gtkrc-2.0 as your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 .

[Bug 37489] newly added user doesn't see default theme
Public bug reported: Affects: ubuntu-artwork (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed Description: If I add a user either with `adduser' or the gnome tool, and I log in with switch user, the old grayish ubuntu icons are used. The orange selection-thing and orange window-headers are used. If we go for the orange icons by default, they should appear for newly added users, too. - I'm using current Dapper - I did make sure that the newly created user-dir didn't already exist - Filed against ubuntu-artwork, feel free to change -- newly added user doesn't see default theme https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/37489 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 37494] Orange is nice, but icons are alarmingly BRIGHT
Public bug reported: Affects: ubuntu-artwork (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed Description: The orange theme is happy, and has really improved in the last weeks. Nice. The icons, however, are just *screaming* at me. They feel like hurry-up traffic-lights! Especially the ones with a special label, like your homefolder, an ssh-share, etcetera. The orange tone is just very hard. This also goes for progress-bars, which should be informing, not alarming. The selection tone, on the other hand, is subtle (and is allowed to draw more attention). The metacity-top is not distracting, nice. This is also mentioned in other bugs (although that's not what they're mainly about): https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-artwork/+bug/34796 https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-artwork/+bug/34400/ I suggest making the orange a bit gentler, especially the bottom part of the folder icons. For example, make it more like the savedSearch icon in the screenshot below. Also, the label for ssh-shares and ftp-shares doesn't match the label for ogg-stuff etcetera. It could be just as well a label in another color, to make the icons match the others, and still *subtly* stand out. ** Attachment added: this explains it pretty well http://librarian.launchpad.net/1902725/orange-icons.png -- Orange is nice, but icons are alarmingly BRIGHT https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/37494 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 37381] save dialog is fully modal, which makes sub-dialogs invisible
Public bug reported: Affects: gimp (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed Description: gimp 2.2.10-1ubuntu2 (dapper 30 march 2006): Try to save a file as jpg, choose a name that doesn't exist yet. The subdialog about jpeg compression is displayed *behind* the save dialog. If you're unlucky it's completely invisible. Try bringing up a window of firefox or something. The save-dialog is fully modal. It shouldn't be. (couldn't find this bug in ubuntu-malone nor in gnome-bugzilla. I filed it here because maybe we do want to fix it before we release dapper, and not wait for a new upstream gimp. Is that ok?) -- save dialog is fully modal, which makes sub-dialogs invisible https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/37381 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 33002] logout dialog UI objections
Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/33002 Comment: Actually it seems to go a bit far to make a preferences-dialog for the shutdown window, but on the other hand: There are such a lot of options, it might be nice. It is, however, pretty late in the release cycle... I have, unfortunately, still never not seen the upstream gnome 2.14 dialog. (also, see https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-desktop/2006-March/000532.html about the tooltips/help-texts, and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-desktop/2006-March/000516.html about the clutter) -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 33002] logout dialog UI objections
Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/33002 Comment: Rune, this might be of interest to you: with gconf-editor, /apps/gnome-power-manager/action_button_power specifies what action to take with powerbutton. I don't really think a dialog would be very useful to configure that. The default behaviour (to show the dialog) is, however, a bit weird; It requires me to turn on my monitor and grab my mouse, in which case I can just as well click the logout option on screen. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 36832] User switching is untransparent
Public bug reported: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/36832 Affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed Description: When I'm logged in with user X, lock my screen, switch to user Y, lock his screen, switch back to user X, I'm back at tty7. That's great. User Y is at tty8. Fine! But when I log user X out, I expect to return to user Y, at tty8. But instead, the gdm login is shown at tty7. This might seem far-fetched, or even logical to those who understand the underlying implementation. The user-switching thing offers really interesting usability possibilities, especially where families are using ubuntu. But making user-switching as transparent as possible is quite important. Maybe there are other situations possible where the system doesn't work as expected, but it would be great to catch those too. (if a developer that feels responsible sees this, please comment on how you prioritize this bug). -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 36566] let's add a 'people' emblem to /home.
Public bug reported: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/36566 Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed Description: Short question: how about giving /home/ a gnome 'people' emblem by default? Motivation: Fon non-techies, the *nix filesystem is very confusing. They should only be interested in their home-folder, and therefor we abstract the filesystem a bit (gnome-vfs, left-panel of nautilus) and make open-dialogs start in home, etc. However, sometimes you *do* end up in the root dir. This can be confusing. Just a subtle hint (Hey, look here!), would be nice. After a while people might even recognize that their documents are in in /home/name :) BTW: due to https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/33822 this might not reach it's full potential. Just a subtlety. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 36068] Window can't be resized if title-bar is above panel
Public bug reported: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/36068 Affects: metacity (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed Description: 1. Use altdrag to move a window with the title-bar above the top gnome-panel. 2. Try resizing the window 3. Recognize metacity shows a right-click menu instead. This sounds very stupid, but I use alt a lot for this, and unconsciously moved windows higher than the panel. When I wanted to enlargen them, I simply couldn't. I was really stuck.
