[Bug 103184] Re: Normal Size command unavailable when font is normal size

2007-04-14 Thread John Nilsson
Hmm I was under the impression that launchpad could forward bugs
upstream. It would improve bug reporting workflow if the bug could
simply be forwarded.

2007-04-13 Thread John Nilsson
I report a usability bug and get called a troll? Nice.

Hmm, reading the section of disabling operation I guess you could have
misunderstood me. I wasn't referring to the common complaint about
removing functionality or what ever. I meant that buttons and menu
entries are greyed out.

Yes the zoom level.

I was just trying to provide some background to help track down the
underlying problem.

In any case, it doesn't seem possible to take a screenshot while having
a menu shown. But just hit the View-menu and you should see what I'm
talking about. There are two disabled entries: Normal Size and Stop.

2007-04-13 Thread John Nilsson
I'm not saying the it's a bad thing to communicate the fact that the
operation won't have any noticeable effect. I AM saying that I don't
like the interface remove options just because. So some other way of
communicating the same information would be good.

I can understand that the forward command is disabled if there is no
forward page. But in this case it is impossible to perform the command.
But the reset zoom level to normal is always possible to perform, even
if it's already at normal.

A carpenter doesn't know that the nail is all the way down by the hammer
going away, he can still hit the nail, it just won't do any good..

I as a user want the comfort of knowing that the commands I use is
available to me, even if others think of me as stupid for using them.

It's the same thing with the save command in some programs. I want to
be able to tell the program I don't care that I haven't changed
anything since last save, just do whatever you do with whats there now
and write it to disk.

It's somewhat similar to the thing MS does where they collapse menus so
only used commands is shown. I read some paper where they found that
most user had a bad experience from that. It's all about the comfort of
a stable interface.

[Bug 103184] Normal Size command unavailable when font is normal size

2007-04-05 Thread John Nilsson
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

The summary may sound strange but hear me out

It has become common practice in GNOME to disable the possibility of
some operations if they are deemed unnecessary. This takes power away
from the user for no good reason. If the intention is to signal that the
operation would be unnecessary there must be better ways.

Now for this particular instance the problem is as follows. I planned to
experiment with the font-size of a page. When seeing that the Normal
Size option was unavailable I naturally assumed that the operation was
not possible for some reason. Out of fear of not being able to restore
the software to Normal Size I refrained from experimenting with the
font-size.

Instead I propose that the command is left available and that the
current state of the font size is signaled in some other way.

[Bug 40059] log out just kills the session, no log out dialog

2006-04-18 Thread John Nilsson
Public bug reported:

Affects: meta-gnome2 gnome (Ubuntu)
   Severity: Normal
   Priority: (none set)
 Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
My day to day user doesn't get a log out dialog when I select log out
from the System menu. Instead the session is just killed.

I think it has been like this ever since the new log out dialog was
created for dapper.

Another user on the same system has a working log out dialog tohugh.

[Bug 33473] Re: Network not up in time, gaim fails

2006-04-06 Thread John Nilsson
Ok, I removed the dns line from /etc/network/interfaces (don't konw where I got 
it from...) and added the backup nameservers to /etc/resolv.conf.

I hade som random issues when booting the computer, so the results aren't 
reliable, but now gaim worked directly.

My nameserver is started by this line in /etc/inittab:
SV:123456:respawn:/usr/bin/svscanboot

and directyl after boot this time I checked the server:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo svstat /var/lib/svscan/*
Password:
/var/lib/svscan/dnscache: up (pid 9430) 5 seconds
/var/lib/svscan/tinydns-private: up (pid 9427) 5 seconds
/var/lib/svscan/tinydns-public: up (pid 9426) 5 seconds

so it appears to be running.

I'll try to reboot when commenting out the other dns-servers from resolv.conf 
again to see if it was random chance or if it was the dns-nameservers line that 
was the culprit.

hmm so with no nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf I get this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo svstat /var/lib/svscan/*
Password:
/var/lib/svscan/dnscache: supervise not running
/var/lib/svscan/tinydns-private: supervise not running

but then I get this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo svstat /var/lib/svscan/*
/var/lib/svscan/dnscache: up (pid 9538) 69 seconds
/var/lib/svscan/tinydns-private: up (pid 9535) 69 seconds
/var/lib/svscan/tinydns-public: up (pid 9533) 69 seconds

after a period that certainly didn't feel like 69 seconds... hmm

Comment:
Comment #2 in the gnome bug #309690 has an interseting aproach.

If it's possible to implement a Reply button that ALLWAYS do the Right
Thing (TM), I think that's a better solution then having three distinct
buttons.

[Bug 33830] Reply to sender and Reply to list buttons

2006-03-05 Thread John Nilsson
Public bug reported:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/33830

Affects: evolution (Ubuntu)
   Severity: Normal
   Priority: (none set)
 Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
There should be two buttons named Reply to sender and Reply to list
in the interface for Evolution. (Reply would thus be renamed to Reply
to sender)

Motivation:

1. Better affordance to the user that this is two distinct functions. While 
also making explicit what the current Reply button does.
2. Better mapping between desired action and resulting action
3. The rate of user error is higher than it needs to be.

This conclution is drawn from watching ubuntu-devel for a while.

Description:
I was listening to an OGG while playing around with Synaptic.

Somtimes when doing something like selecting to remove a package the
audio would stutter (I guess the CPU was needed elsewhere).

If this is correct, should something in the audio playing stack have
higher priority?

I'm using Dapper and have no esd only hardware mixing.

Hmm, I just realized that it might just as well bo some I/O problem.

If there's anything that can bring by system to halt it's high I/O load.

I tried copying some files from my disk to my mp3-player (USB flash
disk), this in it self didn't affect the sound, but while this was in
progres a virtual desktop switch will make the sound stutter.

Some hardware stats might be helpful:
CPU: AMD Athlon XP 1900+
