[Bug 483258] Re: Sleep and lid buttons don't work in Karmic
@Nolan I've been using Kubuntu so it may be that we are not talking about the same issue. My problem started when I installed Karmic and continued when I upgraded to Lucid, up until today when I discovered that it was simply a question of changing the lid-close action in the Ubuntu power management settings. I'd done a clean install of Karmic, so this must obviously have been the default. I never thought to check something that in hindsight should have been so obvious because it never occurred to me that someone might set lock the screen as the lid-closing action. It is something no one in their right mind would do unless they thought burnt-out computers made nice doorstops. So if the same default is still being applied in Lucid, could I suggest that this default is the bug? It is entirely conceivable that a new user could innocently put the lid down in a hurry, expecting the behaviour they were used to in Windows, and cook their machine. -- Sleep and lid buttons don't work in Karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/483258 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 343135] [NEW] Cannot free up menu key so it can be used as the compose key
Public bug reported: This bug is in Ubuntu Intrepid. If I assign the menu key to act as the compose key in my keyboard preferences, I cannot actually use it as that because every time I press it a contextual menu comes up. I can assign another function to the key using the keyboard shortcuts tool, and disable the contextual menu that way, but that still doesn't get the compose key functionality working. This bug is a regression. I was able to use the menu key as the compose key the last time I tried, which was quite many months back. Unfortunately I cannot tell you exactly when it broke because another bug was preventing me using the menu key on my laptop altogether until a couple of days ago, but most likely it was during the upgrade to Intrepid. For me at least, this bug is a bit less trivial than it might appear, because on the Canadian multilingual layout, which I use quite a lot, another bug is also preventing right-ctrl and right-alt being used as the menu key. ** Affects: gnome-desktop (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Cannot free up menu key so it can be used as the compose key https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/343135 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-desktop in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ekiga bug observed in ekiga in hardy Ekiga takes control of the camera even when it is not using it. Since it is an application that will typically be left to run all the time the computer is on, this means that the camera is not available to any other application during all that time. Thus, for instance, it is impossible to run Skype and Ekiga at the same time if you want to use both of them for video chat. For some people at least, this will mean being forced to stick with Skype even though they may want to migrate gradually to something else.

[Bug 215418] [NEW] Default behaviour on closing laptop lid should NOT be to blank the screen
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager In Hardy Beta the current default behaviour on closing your laptop's lid is to blank the screen. This is a mistake because it increases the likelihood of users cooking their laptops in their backpacks if they fail to realise that their machines haven't actually suspended. Of course it is trivially easy to change this behaviour from the gnome system menu, but that is not necessarily immediately obvious (it took me a couple of weeks to clock this, for example). In any case, I would hazard a guess that the users who are most concerned about what happens when the lid is closed are people who are on the move and who therefore need to be able to pack up their gear as quickly as possible, which means being able to suspend their machines at the drop of a hat. Therefore for both these reasons I believe It would be far better to make suspend-to-ram the default behaviour on shutting the lid. ** Affects: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Default behaviour on closing laptop lid should NOT be to blank the screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/215418 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 66047] Shortcuts for non-keyboard characters in Gnome, as well as compose-key combinations, are undocumented
Public bug reported: I discovered quite by chance (from http://en.wikipedia.org/Esszet) that I could generate an ß in Gnome 2.14 and earlier using control-shift-df (it changes to something else in 2.15 apparently). However I can find nothing in the gnome documentation about this, or about all the other characters I assume I could generate if I only knew how. This feature should not only be documented in the help system, it should also be introduced to new users in tutorials. Perhaps it could, in addition, be mentioned in the documentation for the character pallette and/or for the keyboard preferences. The same should apply to the equally obscure xorg compose key. I myself actually did find out a short while ago what the compose key did, but I didn't know, until reading that wikipedia article, that compose-ss would give me an ß. What I have managed to learn about compose key combinations has been mainly through guesswork. There are still many characters I would like to use that I haven't yet guessed.

Part of the problem is that the standard Ubuntu install includes a large number of fonts for a large number of languages. For instance the arabeyes package installs a couple of dozen fonts or so. For someone who cannot read Arabic script there is little value in having more than one or two Arabic fonts installed--enough to recognise the language a web page is written in. The same applies for many of the Indic language fonts. And since these font packs are all dependencies of ubuntu-desktop, uninstalling them via apt-get may cause problems when it comes to a system upgrade.

By virtual trash I mean the trash folder that appears in my imap account when it is displayed in Evolution, but does not exist on the server (as opposed to my real imap trash folder, which is where I would like the trash to be stored). Messages deleted in Evolution will appear to be moved to the virtual trash folder, but in fact remain where they were. If I then access the imap account using the web interface the deleted messages will be displayed in strikethrough text. This means that my inbox clogs up with junk that I can only delete by going through the web interface and marking each struck through entry manually for true trashing and deletion. Related problems with the virtual imap trash are addressed in Ubuntu bug #13983, which in turn refers to Gnome bug #206061 (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206061). Gnome bug #206061, which, as its comments make abundantly clear, is the root of a whole host of problems, was first opened in 2001, but has not been resolved yet. This means, as the author of #13983 implies, that Ubuntu itself is, in a sense, broken because its chosen MUA--the MUA being one of the most important applications on a general-purpose workstation--is broken and shows no sign of being likely to be fixed in the near future.

What I mean is that I think the problem may have something to do with shares-admin not being able to grasp that samba hasn't been installed properly. -- shares-admin crashes on launch https://launchpad.net/bugs/60851 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 62649] Message window hangs in Evolution
Public bug reported: This bug is with Evolution 2.6.1 in Dapper. On a few occasions I have found that the message display window has frozen, even though other parts of Evolution appear to be working. In other words I can select other messages in the message list, or go to other folders and select messages there. And if the messages are unread they will be marked as read when I select them. However the message window will appear to be stuck on the same message and won't move. Last time it happened I tried to close Evolution from the file menu, but all that happened was that the Evolution main window (the only one I had open at the time) got greyed out yet would not close. Clicking on the window manager close-window button did not work either. However running evolution --force-shutdown did work and the window finally closed. ** Affects: evolution (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Message window hangs in Evolution https://launchpad.net/bugs/62649 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 62345] evolution fails to complain about wrong imap protocol
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: evolution I misconfigured an account in evolution to fetch mail under imap4 instead of imap because I didn't know any better. The result was that mail failed to come in, but I was not alerted to any error. The imap server concerned was fastmail.fm. What ought to happen in such a situation is that evolution should complain to the user via a gui alert box. (This bug may have something to do with #60156, but I'm not sure.) ** Affects: evolution (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- evolution fails to complain about wrong imap protocol https://launchpad.net/bugs/62345 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 62347] limitations of abiword's zoom can make it impossible to zoom to near actual size
Public bug reported: I often work on a 17 monitor set to 1280x960 resolution. At this resolution it is impossible to get abiword to zoom appropriately. A letter size page at actual size in fact displays with a width just about equal to the diameter of a CD or DVD. None of the other zoom options bring me any closer to the true paper size. What is needed is for abiword to be aware of the true screen dimensions and/or for it to allow more fine-grained zoom (e.g. to 150%) or arbitrary zoom, as openoffice does. ** Affects: evolution (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- limitations of abiword's zoom can make it impossible to zoom to near actual size https://launchpad.net/bugs/62347 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 62347] Re: limitations of abiword's zoom can make it impossible to zoom to near actual size
Sorry Simon. it looks like I've had a bit of a brainfart. There does appear to be a zoom to arbitrary size option after all. I think I didn't notice it because it was greyed out until I checked the appropriate box. Perhaps a human interface issue, albeit a minor one. Of course correctly identifying the screen resolution would be nice, but otherwise you can probably mark this one as invalid or fixed or whatever you do in launchpad. -- limitations of abiword's zoom can make it impossible to zoom to near actual size https://launchpad.net/bugs/62347 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Instead of the imap folder tree appearing under the name of the account in the left-hand window you simply get the word Loading...

[Bug 62192] evolution ships with spam filtering completely mangled
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: evolution This bug is related to, but not identical to, #37878. It is more like a number of bugs, but I am finding it very hard to distinguish one from another. 1. I installed dapper and spam filtering did not work. 2. I found that bogofilter wasn't installed, even though I had understood that evolution shipped with bogofilter enabled. So I installed it. Then I made sure bogofilter was enabled and spamassassin disabled in edit-plugins. It still didn't work. 3. I started evolution from the command line and found the messages less than clear (another bug I think), but what I did get was something like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ evolution CalDAV Eplugin starting up ... (evolution-2.6:5162): evolution-mail-WARNING **: ignored this junk plugin: not enabled or we have already loaded one (evolution-2.6:5162): e-utils-WARNING **: Plugin 'Spamassassin junk plugin' failed to load hook 'org.gnome.evolution.mail.junk:1.0' Which plugin is being ignored? It's not at all clear, but obviously something isn't working. But shouldn't a user-friendly application show a warning message in the GUI instead of waiting for you to launch it from the command line in order to show you a few half-baked messages? If you are used to how Thunderbird behaves you could take a very long time to realise that the spam filter wasn't actually active or learning anything. 4. I found on the web a bug report for evolution saying that you needed, at some point in evolution's evolution, to have spamassassin installed in order for evolution to ignore it properly and use bogofilter. So I tried installing spamassassin and all its dependencies, but it made no difference. Evolution froze, got killed and restarted, then froze again, this time quickly followed by X (running the nvidia propietary legacy driver) and/or the kernel, which forced me to hit the reset button before I could make a note of where that old gnome bug report was located. I've no idea whether the system freeze was in any way connected, but the two evolution freezes did appear to be related to me having just installed spamassassin, even though spamassassin was at the time, as I have already said, disabled in edit-plugins. 5. For all I know, bogofilter could actually be working now after all my fiddling about, but I have no way of telling for sure without waiting quite a long time. ** Affects: evolution (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- evolution ships with spam filtering completely mangled https://launchpad.net/bugs/62192 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 27014] Re: evolution bug, Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync
This bug has just afflicted me for the first time (although I have had problems with duplicate mails already). It actually happened while I was starting and stopping evolution in order to compile an unrelated bug report, #62192. To be more precise, I first noticed it immediately after the double evolution freeze and the total system freeze described there. -- evolution bug, Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync https://launchpad.net/bugs/27014 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 60851] shares-admin crashes on launch
