[Bug 1687246] Re: GNOME Shell should support fractional (non-integer) Hi-DPI scaling

2018-05-04 Thread Rob Parker
Another consideration are users with Nvidia graphics.

>From what I understand, GNOME Shell's fractional scaling support only
works with Wayland.

But Nvidia's proprietary driver doesn't yet support Wayland. Some may
argue the fault for that situation lies with Nvidia.

But this is nonetheless a regression from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, where the
default desktop (Unity 7) has fractional scaling support which works
with Nvidia's proprietary driver.

All that said, even for users without Nvidia graphics, I suppose the
regression (of loosing fractional scaling support) also exists given
that Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, for understandable reasons, has gone back to
X.org by default.

Personally I'll probably be sticking with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS for the
foreseeable future, due to this.

[Bug 1184720] Re: Nautilus does not properly navigate symbolic links

2014-05-23 Thread Rob Parker
I would absolutely second the sentiment expressed in comment #11 - this
behaviour of Nautilus ultimately causes issues with the use of other
applications, and shouldn't be considered low priority.

[Bug 263637] Re: Gnome-terminal follows symbolic links instead of staying in the current directory when opening a new tab

2013-11-05 Thread Rob Parker
I can confirm this is still an issue in Ubuntu 12.04[.3] with the
current gnome-terminal 3.4.1.1-0ubuntu1 package.

Are there any plans for this to be fixed in 12.04?

[Bug 651357] [NEW] 'Network error' on attempting to connect to GTalk account on Maverick Empathy

2010-09-29 Thread Rob Parker
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

When adding a 'Google Talk' account in Empathy on Maverick (amd64), I
always receive 'Disconnected - Network error' - however if I add the
same Google account (with same username and password) using the 'Jabber'
(which should surely be 'XMPP' nowadays?) account type Empathy is able
to connect successfully. Testing different states of the 'Encryption
required (SSL)' and 'Ignore SSL certificates errors' options does no
appear to fix the issue.

The only possible cause on my part could be that I am behind a rather
strict university firewall - however I have had the port used by Google
Talk and most other XMPP services - TCP 5222 - unblocked, and hence
Pidgin, and the aforementioned Jabber account type in Empathy, are able
connect fine (they were not prior to having this unblocked).

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start Empathy.
2. If the 'Messaging and VoIP Accounts' window has not already opened, open it 
from Edit  Accounts in the 'Contact List' window.
3. Click the 'Add...'  button.
4. Set the 'Protocol' to 'Google Talk'.
5. Enter a valid Google account's username (the full email address, including 
the domain) and password in the 'User ID' and 'Password' boxes.
6. Click the 'Log in' button.
7. Note how red-background messages appear in both the 'Messaging and VoIP 
Accounts' and 'Contact List' windows.
8. Use the 'Remove' button to delete the account, and repeat the process from 
steps 3-6, but this time use 'Jabber' as the protocol instead of 'Google Talk', 
and note how the connection succeeds.
