Title:
  [vmwgfx] Update to mesa and xorg-server causes Cinnamon desktop to not
  render properly

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in mesa package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On a VMWare Workstation VM running Linux Mint 20.1 (64-bit) with
  Cinnamon 4.8.6 or Linux Mint 20.2 (64-bit) with Cinnamon 5.0.5,
  upgrading to a specific mesa and xorg-server version, followed by a
  system restart, led to the Cinnamon desktop not rendering correctly,
  such that the desktop was unusable. The rendering problem is that
  icons and menus are displayed as grey rectangles and it's not possible
  to see what they are.

  I believe the problem is in one of these packages:

  * mesa 21.0.3-0ubuntu0.2-20.04.1
  * xorg-server 2:1.20.11-1ubuntu1-20.04.2

  Restoring the system from backup, and then upgrading but omitting the above 
two updates and restarting, the system behaves as expected. It's not 
immediately clear which of these packages is causing the problem.

2022-01-10 Thread Vinay Sajip
Has this (now confirmed) problem been identified and fixed, and if so,
which versions of the package(s) contain the fix? With this information,
one could update to the version containing the fix and seeing if the
system actually works as expected. I now generally turn off the updates
for these packages when the update manager suggests them, as I don't
want to interrupt my workflow by having to restore from backup if the
fix isn't in there.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1168056] [NEW] Gimp does not pick up plugins from configured plugin path

2013-04-11 Thread Vinay Sajip
Public bug reported:

The plug-ins path (Edit | Preferences, Folders | Plug-Ins) has two
entries:

/home/user/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins
/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins

However, nothing in the first entry is picked up. For example, running
Filters | Python-Fu | Console:

Only the /usr/lib/gimp/... location appears to be used, whih means I

  Only the /usr/lib/gimp/... location appears to be used, whih means I
  can't install my own Gimp plugins under my home directory. This is
  contrary to expectations.
