[Bug 658590] Re: Rhythmbox will not minimize to sound-indicator if music is not playing
Sebastien, I'd like to point out that, as I said in comment #3, even if we sidestep the question regarding the sanity of the specification itself, it's definitely a bug that the Rhythmbox package in Ubuntu currently implements the specification only partially, leading to inconsistent behaviour. The package does implement the part about exiting if the window is closed while not playing, but does not implement the part about maintaining state across sessions. I'm inclined to believe that the latter part was added to the specification exactly because it would otherwise severely disrupt the consistency of behaviour and the user's flow. See comment #3 for a real-world scenario; I can give more if you're not convinced. I argue that, as far as any single application goes, the specification should only be implemented either fully or not at all. This particularly applies to a high-prevalence application such as Rhythmbox. If you consider this particular one not to be a bug, should we instead open a new one for the Rhythmbox in Ubuntu not implementing the specification fully? In relation to that, what's your understanding of how this inconsistency is going to be solved in the future? Is it just going to go away by itself in a future transition to Gnome 3? Or is the specification going to be fully implemented by Rhythmbox in Natty, thus perhaps making the behaviour consistent? Is that a realistic goal, seeing that Rhythmbox itself does little or nothing to implement full preservation of state? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/658590 Title: Rhythmbox will not minimize to sound-indicator if music is not playing -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 662787] Re: Palimpsest Gnome Disk Utility window is always truncated
This is caused by the patch to bug #414107. Prior to the patch the window would get resized to fit the contents. However, the patch prevents resizing and adds scrollbars instead. It makes the UI workable on small screens but also forces everyone even with a large enough screen to scroll or to resize the window manually. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-disk-utility in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662787 Title: Palimpsest Gnome Disk Utility window is always truncated -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 658590] Re: Rhythmbox will not minimize to sound-indicator if music is not playing
Valentin, I already have the status icon set to own the main window, so that doesn't appear to work for me as a workaround. To me, both the bug and specification to which I linked appear to pretty clearly indicate that the behaviour of quitting when not playing is an intentional change. I simply argue that the change is not a good one until the rest of the specification (namely, preservation of state) is also fully working. -- Rhythmbox will not minimize to sound-indicator if music is not playing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/658590 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 658590] Re: [10.10] Rhythmbox will not minimize to sound-indicator if music is not playing
This is apparently intentional. See bug #526552 about compliance with the sound menu specification. The specification itself ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundMenu#Music%20player%20section ) says: "A compliant player should also keep playing if you close its window while it is playing; exit if you close its window while it is not playing; and remember exact state across sessions, so that after exit and relaunch it is as if the player had never exited." The big problem is that the specification only really makes sense if the third part (exact preservation of state) also works, and Rhythmbox doesn't do that. That makes the behaviour of "close" rather inconsistent: if you invoke close while playing, the player will be hidden and can be restored with the same state if you restore it from the sound menu, but if you invoke close while not playing, state will be lost. I think this is a major inconvenience. Think of the following scenario: 1. I have music playing in Rhythmbox and the Rhythmbox window is visible. Say, I have a particular artist selected in the Rhythmbox browser and am playing on shuffle, essentially meaning that I'm playing random tracks from that artist. This means the UI state is also important, not just the playback state. 2. I get a link to a YouTube video with music (or whatever) and decide to watch it, so I pause the music in Rhythmbox and hit Ctrl+W to get Rhythmbox out of my way in order to watch the video. Rhythmbox quits instead of hiding. 3. After watching the video I want to resume playback where I left off. The state is lost (including the track I was playing *and* UI state, e.g. having the artist selected in the Rhythmbox browser). This breaks the user's flow in some cases pretty seriously, partially because state is lost and in particular because the loss or preservation of state is inconsistent. I suggest that either Rhythmbox in Maverick should be modified to support exact preservation of state (including UI state) across sessions pretty quickly, or the change of making Rhythmbox quit on close should be reverted until exact preservation of state can be made to work. -- [10.10] Rhythmbox will not minimize to sound-indicator if music is not playing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/658590 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 485923] Re: Probable memory leak in gnome-settings-daemon
I'm now at about about 3½ days of uptime and a little under 200 MiB of RSS (a little under 300 MiB virtual) for each of the processes mentioned in the report. I haven't noticed this kind of behaviour earlier but I usually don't have particularly long uptimes. Since this looks pretty similar to the original report, I'm confirming the bug. I'm now logging the memory sizes for some time to see if it correlates with my use of the system somehow.

[Bug 132884] Re: Can't compress to .7z with a space in there name
This is definitely a File Roller bug. It doesn't affect the command-line tools. They can be used for the task just fine assuming that the file names are properly escaped. Looks like File Roller, on the other hand, does not properly escape the file names when using 7z. Upstream bugzilla claims [1] that a similar bug has been fixed in SVN, and the fix seems to be trivial.
