[Bug 367743] Re: Attempt to purchase album from Rhythmbox Magnatune store fails.

2009-11-08 Thread cosmix
Raf and Pedro is partly right.

Magnatune has stopped processing credit cards due to online fraud
experienced by their credit card payment processor (see
http://blogs.magnatune.com/buckman/2009/06/visa-no-more.html where it is
clearly stated that in-app Magnatune purchasing in Rhythmbox would be
affected)

While this bug is confirmed (that is it is valid), I believe it should
be changed to won't fix. If (and when) upstream provides a new plugin
for the new Magnatune membership types this issue will be resolved.

Ok, this is not a Gnome Terminal bug. It is also not a libgnome bug or a
pango bug as it transcends desktop environments; this is most probably a
freetype/fontconfig bug and -- as it seems -- has to do with the hinter.
I'll try to look into it when I get some time, but in the mean time do
note the above when attempting to work on it.

Note that this bug seems to manifest itself on all hinting settings
except for 'Slight' (as set by the Gnome appearance configuration
utility). This bug seems to affect other, proportional fonts as well,
but the effect is much more profound in monospaced fonts.

I'm not sure it is related to bug 345189 at this time, as it's not the
overall size of the font that changes, but the tracking (letter
spacing).

Both terminals are 80x24 and use the same Droid Sans Mono font at 8pt.
Same hinting settings in both cases. The difference in tracking is

[Bug 348873] [NEW] Very large tracking (letter spacing) in Gnome Terminal

2009-03-26 Thread cosmix
Public bug reported:

Summary:

In Gnome 2.26.0 (as found in Jaunty Beta) GNOME Terminal features very
large tracking (letter-spacing) compared to its predecessor. This is bad
from an æsthetic point of view, not configurable, wasteful of screen
real-estate space. No other changes in pango or fontconfig have been
experienced between Intrepid and Jaunty. The issue is limited to GNOME
Terminal, and is exhibited irrespectively of the monospaced font used.

Expected Results:

Either tighter or configurable default tracking in GNOME Terminal.

Actual Results:

Very large, not configurable tracking in GNOME Terminal, different to
previous versions.

Ok here goes. Apparently for each keystroke entered on the text-based
location bar after an FTP connection has been made, gvfsd-ftp spawns a
new thread. This seems to be a Nautilus bug having to do with how
Nautilus handles changes on the text-based location bar. Here is the
output of the attached gdb after typing a few letters on the location
bar (e.g adding 'public_html' to 'ftp://ftp.server.net/')

[Bug 209355] Re: Cannot navigate to FTP location (gvfs) using text-based location bar

2008-04-05 Thread cosmix
Hello Sebastien.

You need to define 'normally' in order for me to properly respond to
your question. If you mean typing the URL on the text-based location bar
on nautilus (i.e. ftp://ftp.server.net/') then yes. Note that this issue
manifests itself ONLY on authenticated connections (not anonymous FTP).

Nevertheless, in responding to your question, let me add the following
observations: I am experiencing this issue on FTP accounts with login.
This is always reproducible. In addition, as of today I've noticed the
following:

1. The FTP icon disappears from the desktop when I try to enter a path
on the FTP using the text-entry location bar in nautilus (just like it
would if the FTP connection was unmounted).

2. A gvfsd-ftp process (there are two such processes showing up. One
persists even after I unmount all FTP mounts. A stale/non-responsive
process perhaps?) disappears from the system monitor. Sometimes the
mount will automatically reappear after a few seconds, others I will
have to 'reconnect' manually.

3. Sometimes, instead of showing the home directory, Nautilus displays a
dialog with the following:

Title: The folder contents could not be displayed.
Message: Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "wp-content": The 
specified location is not mounted

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional information. I'll
try to make some time to debug this in the next few days.

[Bug 210811] [NEW] Only one 'ghost' icon follows pointer while dragging multiple icons on the desktop

2008-04-02 Thread cosmix
Public bug reported:

This is a usability bug of minor importance.

Selecting (via a marquee or Ctrl/Shift-Click) multiple icons on the
desktop (or a Nautilus window in Icon mode) and dragging them should
create a 'ghost' semitransparent copy of the icons, as originally
arranged before the dragging action commenced that serve to indicate the
position of the icons on the desktop (or Nautilus window) while the
mouse moves and before the drag action is completed.

Current situation:

Nautilus currently only provides this 'ghost' icon for the object
exactly beneath the pointer. This 'ghost' icon is not semitranslucent,
but opaque. For the remaining selected icons being dragged Nautilus
merely provides a dotted outline. This is poor from a usability point of
view for the following reasons:

1. The dotted outline is not visible over a range of backgrounds.
2. The single 'icon' that appears while dragging can be misleading to new users 
who might think that they're only acting upon a single object.
3. The opaqueness of the icon representing object being dragged makes it 
difficult to differentiate it between the other objects on the Desktop 
(Nautilus window).

[Bug 209355] [NEW] Cannot navigate to FTP location (gvfs) using text-based location bar

2008-03-30 Thread cosmix
Public bug reported:

Summary:

As of Hardy Beta 1 with Nautilus 2.22.1-0ubuntu1 it is impossible to
navigate an FTP server (gvfs) using the text-base location bar. This
problem is always reproducible.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to Places -> Connect to Server...
2. Choose 'FTP (with login)'
3. Fill in the details (valid 'Server:' and 'User Name:')
4. Click 'Connect'.
5. When the server connects Nautilus opens a window at that location. Press 
Ctrl-L (or click the text-entry icon on the left of the address bar). The 
address changes to the url of the current FTP location. 
6. Append a valid path on the FTP at the end of this location (e.g. 
ftp.ubuntu.com/[add path here]).

Expected results:

Nautilus should show the contents of the entered path on the FTP server.

Actual results:

Nautilus changes to the home directory address instead of the entered
FTP location.

Notes:

This also manifests irrespectively of the number of path components
entered at the address bar. Nautilus works fine with the 'button
location bar'.

Be advised that this bug persists in Gutsy Beta (1) with Gnome 2.20.0.
Based on the discussion that has taken place in the mailing lists and
bug tracking facilities upstream, this does not seem to be getting
resolved at that level any time soon.

Given the increased importance of DTP/Graphics (as implied by the
release of Ubuntu Studio some weeks after Feisty) and the fact that a
large number of commercial fonts are practically unusable under Gnome,
perhaps a review of the this bug might be in order.
