[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1973306] [NEW] packages freezes on authentification with Wayland
Public bug reported: I want to report an issue which might well have been reported already, although i could not find it. A few weeks ago I switched from Ubuntu LTS 20.04 towards the LTS 22.04 with Wayland as default. I discovered that there is a sort of incompatibility between the software-properties-package and the Wayland protocol, which occurs systematically and never occurs when switching back to Xorg. When one tries to add or change a rule in ‘other software’ the application always freezes when the user is asked to authenticate. As soon a one cancels the authentification procedure it unfreezes almost immediately, but freezes again when the user retries to complete the adding or alteration procedure. As said, this error never occurs if the user switches back to an Xorg session. See screenshot: the window with the communication 'software & updates does not respond' and with the choice to close or to wait is hidden behind the authentification window. I am not really sure whether this bug has to be reported as a security issue, but certainly the software-properties-package is of utmost importance for a stable and secure OS.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1069757] Re: [Upstream] Libreoffice: problems with saving docs to directories of Windows networks (through samba-connection)
Great job, Björn! Fortunately, there's only a few days left before the release of 13.04. I sincerely hope that the other problems I had with LO within Ubuntu will also be resolved. The most important of these concern LO Base, which didn't work at all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1069757 Title: [Upstream] Libreoffice: problems with saving docs to directories of Windows networks (through samba-connection) Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Invalid Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gvfs” package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: At the office I use my Ubuntu computer as a work station and connect it to our Windows network by establishing Samba (smb) connections. In this way I can not only use the print facilities but also use directly the network directories for opening, saving of documents. Since ubuntu 12.04 directories of windows networks have been integrated in the procedure for opening, saving of documents in Libreoffice. Directories available through open samba-connections thus are integrated in the list of directories on which docs can be saved. This was a great new features, since before 12.04 one had to save files on a local directory first and then move or copy them to the windows directory in Nautilus. After having done the upgrade to ubuntu 12.10 QQ this facility does not work as it should. The network directories are still shown and it it still possible to open a document. But is it not possible to save it and giving it another name. Another thing which had become impossible is to open a document from another source than the network directory (e.g. local directory, attached doc to a mail) and save it in a directory of the network server. When doing this the system gives the information 'Error saving the document #name#. The file does not exist' (see screenshot 1, text in italian). If one then presses the OK-button there is a second error communication with the following text: Error is saving the document #name#: General Error Generel I/O error (see screenshot 2, text in italian) I have checked whether the same kind of error also occurs in other programs, at least in Evince (pdf-reader). This is not the case. A last issue I want to report is that when one opens a doc (e.g. odt) from a network directory, modifies it and then save it, this seems to work. There is no error messsage. When checking by re-opening the saved document, in a few experiments I did the modifications were not saved. In nautilus the date indication of the file also remained the same. In other experiments however the saving of the documents with the modifications seemed to work as it should. conclusion: the integration of network directories in LO has become unreliable, with a high risk of loss of information for the user.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1069757] [NEW] Libreoffice: problems with saving docs to directories of Windows networks (through samba-connection)
Public bug reported: At the office I use my Ubuntu computer as a work station and connect it to our Windows network by establishing Samba (smb) connections. In this way I can not only use the print facilities but also use directly the network directories for opening, saving of documents. Since ubuntu 12.04 directories of windows networks have been integrated in the procedure for opening, saving of documents in Libreoffice. Directories available through open samba-connections thus are integrated in the list of directories on which docs can be saved. This was a great new features, since before 12.04 one had to save files on a local directory first and then move or copy them to the windows directory in Nautilus. After having done the upgrade to ubuntu 12.10 QQ this facility does not work as it should. The network directories are still shown and it it still possible to open a document. But is it not possible to save it and giving it another name. Another thing which had become impossible is to open a document from another source than the network directory (e.g. local directory, attached doc to a mail) and save it in a directory of the network server. When doing this the system gives the information 'Error saving the document #name#. The file does not exist' (see screenshot 1, text in italian). If one then presses the OK-button there is a second error communication with the following text: Error is saving the document #name#: General Error Generel I/O error (see screenshot 2, text in italian) I have checked whether the same kind of error also occurs in other programs, at least in Evince (pdf-reader). This is not the case. A last issue I want to report is that when one opens a doc (e.g. odt) from a network directory, modifies it and then save it, this seems to work. There is no error messsage. When checking by re-opening the saved document, in a few experiments I did the modifications were not saved. In nautilus the date indication of the file also remained the same. In other experiments however the saving of the documents with the modifications seemed to work as it should. conclusion: the integration of network directories in LO has become unreliable, with a high risk of loss of information for the user.

This is not the case. A last issue I want to report is that when one opens a doc (e.g. odt) from a network directory, modifies it and then save it, this seems to work. There is no error messsage. When checking by re-opening the saved document, in a few experiments I did the modifications were not saved. In nautilus the date indication of the file also remained the same. In other experiments however the saving of the documents with the modifications seemed to work as it should. conclusion: the integration of network directories in LO has become unreliable, with a high risk of loss of information for the user.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1069008] [NEW] main menu on top bar doesn't appear
Public bug reported: When opening a file with LibreOffice, e.g. text file, in Ubuntu 12.10, quite often the main menu on the top bar doesn't appear at the right sight of the symbols for closing, minimizing and maximizing the active window. Thus it is impossible to manage the file, for instance to save it with another name, to insert, format etc... Sometimes the menu appears after a period of time, sometimes it seems to never appear. The only thing one can do is to close and re-open until the menu finally appears. This problem occurred only after having upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10, not before. The problem is shown in the screenshot I attach to this report. One has to look at the bar where pointer is situated. Normally a menu list has to appear with File, Modify etc... but there is nothing.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 877448] Re: Problems launcher with LibreOffice
I want to add just a few more things: (a) the problems occur on all computers with Ubuntu installed (Notebooks Acer Travelmate, Acer Aspire as only OS, Dell desktop as wubi.exe beside windows). Two of them have been upgraded through internet, one from a DVD. (b) I will add attachments with screenshots. Two of them show the unstable LibreOffice survey page, with remnants of previous screens. The third one shows an open screen of writer, without any indication on the launcher. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/877448 Title: Problems launcher with LibreOffice Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: There are several problems I want to report, problems which occurred after upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 877448] Re: Problems launcher with LibreOffice
To point (c) it should be added that the lack of indication of an active window of LibreOffice on the button of Unity (i.e. absence of little arrows) is connected to a second problem: one cannot open a second window by going to the Unity button and clicking on it! The button starts flashing but stops after a while without producing any kind of result. I have a second computer on which I installed 11.10 and checked I checked it on the occurrance of the same problems.
