That is NOT fixed. Please reopen the bug report. I have no idea why I
can't.

[Bug 350915] Re: gnome-settings-daemon crashed with SIGSEGV

2012-04-20 Thread NickNackGus
"This bug affects you and 11 other people". Doesn't sound invalid to me.
I just downloaded and burned a fresh live CD of Precise beta 2. However,
I will trust the official Precise beta 2 disk is out of date, and that
the release on Thursday will be the least buggy version of Ubuntu since
Maverick. So many crashes...

[Bug 951286] Re: nautilus crashed with SIGSEGV in gtk_ui_manager_new_merge_id()

2012-03-09 Thread NickNackGus
** Visibility changed to: Public

** Description changed:

  I was browsing bug reports in LaunchPad using Firefox on the March Beta
  of Ubuntu Precise. The crash occured as I was closing tabs via "CTRL+W",
  and there was no evidence that nautilus had crashed besides the crash
  report. After clicking "send report", I closed Firefox and tried some
  keyboard shortcuts that I hadn't used successfully on earlier releases
  using my ASUS G74SX. In order, Presentation button (switches monitor
  outputs, none were connected at the time), blank screen (turns off
  backlight too), screen and keyboard backlights (keyboard backlight is
  now working, didn't in 11.10). My files disappeared from my desktop
  after attempting to switch displays, and I opened nautilus using the
  "home folder" icon in the launcher to restart it before continuing with
  the other keys.

[Bug 908650] Re: "System Settings" window cannot resize

2012-01-02 Thread NickNackGus
"'cannot resize' is a design decision and not a bug."

This sounds like Microsoft's famed "undocumented features".

Locking the window size adds no value to an application: it detracts a
common feature. Larger displays have lots of space, and your present
window would be hard to see at all. The smaller displays of netbooks
don't have the screen resolution for anything quite as large as your
present interface. The interface must scale.

I also note that you responded to my suggestion immediately, in a manner
similar to trolls in online forums.

There are a number of valid bugs in Ubuntu that are being declared
"invalid" by people working at Canonical. Many of these bug reports were
submitted by people who have been using Ubuntu for a long time,
including some of the people who helped design Warty, the first version
of Ubuntu.

At this point in time I would like to remind you of the basic philosophy
of Ubuntu. This was taken directly from the Ubuntu 9.04, Jaunty
Jackalope, example content.

Ubuntu is an ancient African word, meaning "humanity to others". Ubuntu also 
means "I am what I am because of who we all are". The Ubuntu Linux distribution 
brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world.
Desmond Tutu described ubuntu in the following way:
"A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, 
does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a 
proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a 
greater whole."
We chose the name Ubuntu for this distribution because we think it captures 
perfectly the spirit of sharing and cooperation that is at the heart of the 
open source movement. In the Free Software world, we collaborate freely on a 
volunteer basis to build software for everyone's benefit. We improve on the 
work of others, which we have been given freely, and then share our 
improvements on the same basis.

[Bug 908650] Re: "System Settings" window cannot resize

2012-01-02 Thread NickNackGus
I think the mockup looks pretty good. The new tab order certainly reflects how 
often I use change different audio settings. You haven't removed any important 
features, and have added an on/off switch, so users can, for instance, mute 
their speakers in case their headphones come unplugged.
However, the new interface is not currently installed in any Ubuntu machines 
(except perhaps beta testers). Since your mockup doesn't fix this problem, even 
if it were being written into an update right now, this bug is not "invalid". 
The sound settings interface is certainly "in progress", but "invalid" would 
imply that the interface I am now using does not exist.
Also keep in mind that the settings manager is still stuck at one resolution, 
which is what this bug is truly about. Your new doesn't show a "maximize" 
button, so I'm assuming it cannot be maximized or resized. With any luck, you 
will consider that in the settings manager for 12.04, if you have any power 
over it at all. I'm optimistic enough about this to mark this bug as "in 
progress".
I have several years of experience in shell, C-like languages, and can learn 
new ideas quite quickly. I am interested in helping to write linux software of 
any kind, and I feel this is a perfect opportunity. However, I would still need 
assistance, as I don't know where to find the source code, and I would need 
someone to explain to me where the equivalent of "void main" is in order to get 
started. I would be willing to debug existing code as requested. I have also 
designed simple GUI for a 100x64 pixel display on a computer that wasn't 
intended for such graphics capabilities, so I can attempt to write the code for 
new GUI if mockups like yours are presented.

Robert Roth (evfool) found the right package, thanks. The man page
presents a number of options, but I'm not sure if any of them can be
used to force full screen usage, or a specific size. Either one might
prove useful in making the window resizable.

[Bug 737261] Re: Totem fails to play anything

2011-06-26 Thread NickNackGus
I fixed the problem with a restart when it happened to me in 10.10. You
can see if that fixes the problem, or volunteer to run commands to see
what's wrong until you NEED to restart.

[Bug 737261] Re: Totem fails to play anything

2011-06-15 Thread NickNackGus
I'm not sure if its a bug or not any more. As I said, the problem was
fixed with a simple restart. I haven't had the bug about not hearing
anything from totem or any other music player recently. Since this was
the first time I had seen the bug, I'm not sure I can repeat it either.
I also have not attempted to extract audio from video recently, so I
don't know if I can do that or not.

I haven't been able to record audio from "wave out" or equivalent, but
that's another bug, probably involving my hardware, as XP and Vista also
unable to recording from this. This is one of the few times I tried to
make Windows slightly more useful, with typical results. :)

All I had to do was restart. I do occasionally have problems with my
graphics, so then I installed "Compiz Fusion Icon". It stays in the task
bar, and I can restart my graphics by right clicking it and selecting
"reload window manager".

2011-03-18 Thread NickNackGus
I don't know. I got frustrated with my inability to find an application
that could play a play-list without taking up the full screen, wound up
using Rhythmbox, and restarted. Then Totem worked. Before restarting, I
did attempt to use mplayer to extract the audio from a flash file, and
only got a data file instead of audio. It is still doing that now. Hope
this helps.

[Bug 737261] [NEW] Totem fails to play anything

2011-03-17 Thread NickNackGus
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: totem

I attempted to play my entire playlist, allowing each file to load artist info, 
in an attempt to delete songs I often skip. The application closed without an 
error message, and I have not been able to play files since, although I haven't 
restarted yet. Totem can open, and I can go through the menus, but it can't 
play anything, and running it from terminal did not help locate the problem. An 
example output from Terminal:
tim@Tim-Desktop-2:~$ totem
The program 'totem' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 123 error_code 2 request_code 133 minor_code 19)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
