[Bug 1796606] Re: gnome-shell crashed with SIGSEGV in st_widget_get_theme_node → ffi_call_unix64 → ffi_call → gjs_invoke_c_function → function_call

2018-11-20 Thread Russell Neches
When I first started getting these crashes, they were triggered by
attaching an external monitor, but that problem seems to have been
fixed. Now, I am getting crashes when I put my laptop to sleep and then
wake it up. It also destroys screen and tmux sessions somehow, so these
crashes have about the same effect on the user as a kernel panic. Yet
another way that systemd is broken, I guess?

There was a [similar
bug](https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=224570) reported on Arch
Linux, where the redshift extension was blamed as the culprit (though no
explanation was given about his this was determined or what the
mechanism might be.

I'm going to try disabling Night Mode.

[Bug 1799789] Re: gnome-shell segfaults when external monitor attached or detached

2018-10-24 Thread Russell Neches
Oops. Browser gremlins autofilled the wrong package name while I was
filing the bug.

** Package changed: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) => gnome-shell
(Ubuntu)

** Description changed:

+ I recently updated to Ubuntu 18.10, and I seem to have hit a new bug
+ with gnome-shell/wayland.
+ 
  When an external monitor is attached or detached, gnome-shell crashes
  with a segmentation fault and falls back to a gdm session. This appears
  in dmesg :

  I've also attached the syslog file, starting from where the monitor was
  plugged in. Here are some of the highlights. First, the monitor is
  attached, and gnome-shell reaches for St.Bin and finds it already
  deallocated :

  This is then followed by the teardown for the whole session, eventually
  culminating in bringing up a new gdm login session. If you read through
  the attached syslog file, you can see the whole mess unfold. At about
  12:37:05, I plug in an external mouse. Then colord makes a ton of noise
  for some reason, possibly related to the external monitor. Then I fire
  up my Bluetooth keyboard and log into a new session.
  
  This appears to be a regression. I've used this exact configuration
  (gdm3 and gnome-shell running in Wayland, with an external monitor that
  I use while I'm at work) for several Ubuntu, Gnome and Wayland releases.
  This appears to be a new issue.

[Bug 1076802] [NEW] Widget rendering broken after quantal upgrade

2012-11-08 Thread Russell Neches
Public bug reported:

After upgrading from the LTS release to quantal, something seems to have
gone very wrong with evolution. It is extremely slow; opening a new
message window takes fifteen to thirty seconds, although there is little
or no CPU, memory, network or disk activity.

Also, it seems to draw widgets incorrectly. See attached screenshot.

Evolution package version :  3.6.0-0ubunt amd64
Ubuntu release : 12.10

** Affects: evolution (Ubuntu)
 Importance: Undecided
 Status: New

Hmm. Perhaps this bug is a problem with the Adwaita theme, although
Evolution is the only package that seems to be affected.

[Bug 787465] Re: View-Show MenuBar isn't working in 11.04 and later in gnome-terminal

2011-11-06 Thread Russell Neches
Ugh. I loathe global menus, but I don't want a menubar on my terminal.

Could we maybe just have a dialog box pop up when you uncheck show menu
bar explaining that if you remove the menu, you'll have to get it back
by alt-clicking, or running something in the command line, or whatever?

I think it's safe to assume that if a user wants a terminal and doesn't
want a menu bar, that we can probably relax the usability requirements
a little. This might not be the best approach for, say, Evolution, but
this is the terminal. If you want to muck around in the terminal, you'd
better know what you're doing anyway.

I get this crash every time I get TIFFs from a certain person. Perhaps
it is related to the software that created them?

[Bug 496054] Re: new gdmsetup is useless

2009-12-14 Thread Russell Neches
Yes, I am aware of the other bugs addressing these problems. I filed
this bug because in aggregate, these issues create a condition most
people readily identify as uselessness. This is a conservative
description. For many users, the unstoppable bongos would better be
described as harmful.

I'm also aware that you can solve some of these problems by editing the
gconf settings. The bug is directed at the user interface; if you have
to resort to mucking with gconf keys, then I think we can all agree that
the user interface is missing something. If you have to do it for
necessary features, then the user interface is defective.

[Bug 496054] [NEW] new gdmsetup is useless

2009-12-12 Thread Russell Neches
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdm

The new version of gdmsetup is useless. The user cannot install themes,
or switch between installed themes, or change many important GDM
configuration options.

The old one was much better.

[Bug 496054] Re: new gdmsetup is useless

2009-12-12 Thread Russell Neches
Elaboration :

[1] No way to change simple things, like background color
[2] Cannot disable or change bootup sounds, which annoy most people
[3] No way to disable face browser, which is a security hazard in many 
environments
[4] No way to use or enable XDMCP
[5] If the configuration gets screwed up, there is no sane way to fix it 
without purging and reinstalling the package

This all became evident after my cat jumped on my keyboard while the
monitor was switched off, and login manager got stuck in some sort of
extremely ugly halfway point between the high contrast settings and the
default theme. There was no way to return to the default theme without
removing the package and reinstalling it.
