[Bug 1781654] [NEW] No way of displaying a tooltip in fallback mode

2018-07-13 Thread Guido Berhoerster
Public bug reported:

Current status notifier/application indicator implementations such as
KDE Plasma or the Xfce Status Notifier Plugin display the indicators
"title" and "icon-desc" or "attention-icon-desc" properties in a
tooltip. In fallback mode, i.e. when the icon is a tray icon, does not
show a tooltip and neither provides an API to make use of the tooltip
functionality of the GtkStatusIcon.

This is specifically a problem for my project package-update-indicator
which notifies of available package updates with an icon. If users miss
the associated notification or do not use a notification daemon it is
rather confusing without a tooltip providing the name of the indicator
it belongs to as well as an brief explanation like "Updates available".

I've created a patch which replicates the behavior of KDE Plasma or the
Xfce Status Notifier Plugin in fallback mode by displaying a tooltip
with the contents of the "title" and "icon-desc" or "attention-icon-
desc".

[Bug 1382977]

2014-10-30 Thread Guido Berhoerster
(In reply to Norbert Preining from comment #5)
 I just tried the patch from the second attachment (from Guido) on
 Debian/sid, but it does not fix everything.
 
 The selected application is now used, but changing the default application
 is still broken. 
 
 In particular, right clicking on an item I see
Open with A
 but when I right-click - Properties and check the 
Open with 
 droplist, then there is a different value written.
 
 It seems that another place needs fixing,

I cannot reproduce that here and I don't see how this is possible, the combobox 
in the properties dialog uses a ThunarChooserButton which calls 
g_app_info_get_default_for_type() to preselect the default application. So the 
preselected application in the properties dialog should always be correct and 
reflect what ~/.config/mimeapps.list contains. The context menu is what should 
be fixed by this patch (by calling the g_app_info_get_default_for_type() as the 
combobox does). Have you properly applied the patch before building thunar and 
are you sure you are actually running the rebuilt version?
If yes, then please provide some more detailed information on how to reproduce 
this. In particular, temporarily remove ~/.config/mimeapps.list, log out and 
back in, change the default association of some filetype and then report what 
the context menu shows, what the property dialog combobox has preselected and 
what the contents of ~/.config/mimeapps.list are and what your glib version is.

 or do I need to use *both* of the
 attached patches in this bug?

No, the second one is just a refactored version of the first one.

 Suspend/hibernate upower 0.99 (no logind)
 
 So this version makes upower optional but still uses the shutdown helper.

A couple of notes:
- OpenBSD supports hibernation via /usr/sbin/ZZZ or /usr/sbin/apm -Z
- on FreeBSD you might want to call /usr/sbin/acpiconf -s 3 for suspend for 
consistency, /usr/sbin/zzz still supports APM but I doubt there is any 
APM-supporting hardware left
- on FreeBSD you can check for suspend/hibernate support by looking at the 
hw.acpi.supported_sleep_state property through the sysctl API, see sysctl(3)[1] 
and acpi(4)[2]

[2] 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=acpiapropos=0sektion=4manpath=FreeBSD+10.0-stablearch=defaultformat=html


Also the long term plan still is to use a DBus-actiavted helper instead of 
sudo? Where should this live, both xfce4-session and xfce4-power-manager need 
to make use of it but either one depending on the other would probably not be 
nice. People run Xfce without xfpm and and xfpm is used outside Xfce.

   Suspend/hibernate upower 0.99 (no logind)
   
   Since everyone else is doing the logind piece, I wrote a small patch so
   xfce4-session will work with upower 0.99 but without logind.
  
  Although I  think it would be a good thing not to rely on logind, please do
  not extend this crude and ugly sudo hack that BSD and Solaris users have to
  put up with, but replace xfsm-shutdown-helper with a small DBus service and
  use PolicyKit to authorize access to shutdown/suspend methods.
  xfsm-shutdown-helper should just go away, PolicyKit is nowadays available
  even on the BSDs and Solaris.
 
 Indeed, I can look into doing that. I didn't know how long it would take to
 get a new project accepted by distros, especially something running as root.
 In the meantime, extending shutdown-helper will work until I (or someone)
 makes a daemon for that.

I don't think that it's big deal, it will not be used by most major Linux 
distros anyway since they are all systemd-based and there is already precedence 
with xfpm-backlight-helper which gets executed as root through polkit.
Speaking of, could you just execute xfpm-pm-helper through pkexec instead of 
sudo in the same way it is done with xfpm-backlight-helper?
xfpm-pm-helper should probably disabled by default on Linux since distros 
either carry upower  0.99 or they have upower = 0.99 and systemd.
Finally it'd be nice to install all of these helpers under $(libexecdir) 
instead of $(bindir) since they're not meant to be executed directly by the 
user and clutter $PATH. Thanks in advance.

 (In reply to ale.carrazzoni from comment #24)
  So it should be fixed in GTK+ then?
 
 ... I just find
 unfortunate that GTK+ relies on such a mechanism.

Exactly, so if you merge it, can you for this reason please add a wm
tweak setting to enforce window decorations, i.e. keep the status quo?

 Anyhow, as we have a patch ready thanks to Alistair, I agree that patch
 should be merged.

So what about the theming issue, do you wan to go with the flipped
pixmaps? You also didn't comment on the issue Martin raised?

@Matthias:
Could give some feedback on a possible solution from the GTK side for non-GNOME 
environments where CSDs doe not fit well, especially my suggestion in 
comment#21? If needed I can also open a RFE on the GTK bugtracker to discuss 
this further.

[Bug 1301873]

2014-05-03 Thread Guido Berhoerster
I think that although CSD might be a good fit for GNOME they are
problematic in Xfce for various well-known reasons:

* CSD look out of place in a heterogeneous application environment
(which is much more likely for Xfce than GNOME or KDE users since Xfce
does not have such a broad range of native applications) where windows
of applications using different toolkits such as GTK2 (most of Xfce for
the time being), Qt, or Java are combined

* xfwm4 has the ability to forcibly close windows of hung applications
which is impossible with CSD and they cannot even be moved

* xfwm4 allows to roll up a window, show a window on all workspaces or
always keep it on the top layer, all of which is impossible with CSD

* xfwm4 allows to customize the buttons shown in the titlebar, e.g. a
button for pinng or rolling up windows, all of which is lost with CSD
and leads to inconsistencies because such buttons are not even supported

* xfwm4 allows to customize mouse actions on top of the window
decorations such as double-clicking the title-bar or rolling up the
window with the mouse-wheel, all of which is impossible with CSD

Thus, CSD are IMO generally undesirable and unsuitable for Xfce and the
above patch should not be merged. Rather, and not only because this
affects Xfce but also setups which only use a window manager without a
complete DE, or more importantly KDE, I think it is not unreasonable for
asking the Gtk side to add a setting for disabling CSD. By that I mean
not drawing its own border and hiding client window controls and
disabling the MWM hints that disable the window manager's decorations.
From reading about CSD on Matthias blog I figure that it is currently
only possible to change the order of client side window controls and
their appearance on dialog windows.

Matthias, could you implement something like that as an xsetting? Our
xfsettingsd could then use that setting to disable CSD by default when
running an Xfce session.

(In reply to comment #15)
 (In reply to comment #14)
  Fixed in Factory.
 
 it's back again in 12.3-RC1 (or never got fixed?) !
 
 I'm using 12.3-RC1 plus updates and run XFCE4.
 
 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login
 
 gets started and it's loading offering all my ssh-keys, which is a no-go!
 
 when debugging my ssh-agent problems, I found the hint in some discussions to
 rename/remove nome-keyring-daemon (or remove execute permission).
 
 this worked fine for me -- until bug #805048: 
 NetworkManager needs gnome-keyring-daemon to ask for wifi passphrases :-((
 
 so gnome-keyring-daemon is back in businees, and trashes my ssh usage:-(
 
 looking for other solutions I found e.g.
 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1655397
 
 but
 
  sudo gconftool-2 --direct --config-source
 xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type bool --set
 /apps/gnome-keyring/daemon-components/ssh FALSE
 does not help.
 
 
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring/+bug/932177/comments/20
 
 does not work either for me, the key daemon still loads/offers all ssh keys
 (output of ssh-add -l).
 
 
 for now I've hacked the gnome-keyring-daemon to garble the path to my keys:
 
 diff ( strings /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon~ )  ( strings
 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon ) 
 9543c9543
  ~/.ssh
 ---
  ~/@ssh
 
 
 but of corse that's not the way to go:-(
 
 
 so my question for running XFCE4:
 
 how can I disable the ssh-agent functionality for gnome-keyring-daemon these
 days ???

That's currently not possible, you can either start all components of
gnome-keyring-daemon (by enabling GNOME compatibility mode) or not start
it at all. This bug was about making it work properly at all which has
been the case since 12.1. The ability to selectively enable/disable
components is a different issue and would need to be addressed upstream.
Please file a new enhancement request, preferably on the upstream
tracker or here if you want me to forward it for you.

[Bug 803858] Re: Unable to switch between Chinese and English in LightDM

2011-07-28 Thread Guido Berhoerster
There several assumptions in the above list which cannot be taken as
given:

1) the users language preference in known and can be easily set at the time an 
account is created
2) there is an user interface in the desktop environment to select the language 
of a session
3) every user of the system will be able to navigate in the system's default 
language to this interface in order to change it to his preferred/native 
language

The first assumption is Ubuntu-specific, e.g. it is currently not
possible to select the preferred language when creating users through
YaST in openSUSE. E.g. in a large computer lab an admin creating
accounts may not know what languages a user speaks. The second
assumption is GNOME/KDE-centric, there is e.g. no native UI to switch
the user's language in Xfce, LXDE, or when using a plain window manager.
Even if there is, it will be very difficult for a user to find it if
he/she does not understand the default language.

Use cases where this becomes a problem are e.g. computer labs in public
libraries or universities and even in my own household where not
everyone speaks the preferred/native language of the owner of each
computer.

So I support the request to add this functionality back to LightDM.

2009-11-16 Thread Guido Berhoerster
Just for reference, the problem here is that the MSI Wind UXXX and its
OEM variants generate keypress events in hardware each time the
brightness level is changed which is a source of trouble (e.g. see bug
#415023). Since the Intel Xorg driver sets the brightness to 0 before
turning the screen off via DPMS, keypress events are generated which
cause power management software such as gnome-power-manaager,
powerdevil, or xfce4-power-manager to immediately turn it back on. the
details are in the upstream bug.

2009-10-29 Thread Guido Berhoerster
Disabling KMS just makes the problem appear less often. This is
ultimately a bug in the MSI BIOS, if it chooses to handle the brightness
keys in hardware it shouldn't emit keypress events. The power managers
such as g-p-m, powerdevel, and xfce4-power-manager need to be told to
work around this. For powerdevil patching hal-info would be sufficient
as Felix Geyer has suggested, gnome-power-manager doesn't read this
because it uses xrandr instead of HAL so I don't know how to fix it.
Regarding xfce4-power-manager I don't know either.

This bug is filed against powerdevil, gnome-power-manager, xfce4-power-
manager, and hal-info and these need to be fixed.

[Bug 415023] Re: brightness is broken on MSI WIND U100

2009-10-28 Thread Guido Berhoerster
Please read comment 37, comment 65 and comment 69. The problem has been
completely triaged, the MSI Wind handles brightness through the BIOS BUT
each change of brightness levels also emits a keypress event which is
then handled by gnome-power-manager, powerdevil, or xfce4-power-manager.
There are two different problems:

The first issue with this is that each keypress changes brightness
twice, resulting effectively in only 4 instead of 8 levels that the
hardware is capable of. This is happens with all previous releases of
Ubuntu as well.

The second issue is new in 9.10 and has been intoduced with kernel
modesetting, that is gnome-power-manager and equivalents start switching
back and forth between two adjacent brightness levels either due to a
rounding bug or feedback loop (remeber that each time brightness levels
are changed in software keypresses are emitted as well).

There is actually a workaround for the second issue (the flickering
people report over and over) and that is disabling kernel modesetting by
passing nomodeset to the kernel at boot time.

The solution to this problem is that power management software needs to
be told that the brightness keys are handled in hardware. In the past
this could be done by setting the HAL property
laptop_panel.brightness_in_hardware to true as Felix Geyer has pointed
out, however this is not read by gnome-power-manager because it handles
the backlight through xrandr instead of HAL.

[Bug 415023] Re: brightness is broken on MSI WIND U100

2009-10-27 Thread Guido Berhoerster
A possible workaround to avoid the flicker (at least in my case) is to
disable kernel modesetting, that way g-p-m does not seem to get out of
sync, although it is still buggy in that each brightness keypress is
handeled twice, that is both by g-p-m and in hardware.

The main problem is making g-p-m not react to the brightness key
presses. The MSI Wind apparently handles them in the BIOS while still
passing through keypress events which are noticed and reacted upon by
g-p-m. Adding the brightness_in_hardware setting to HAL is not a proper
solution because the Intel xorg driver supports handling the backlight
through xrandr which g-p-m prefers over HAL and HAL support will most
likely be dropped from g-p-m once all other drivers support this through
xrandr as well.

An please STOP spamming this bug with pointless and completely
irrelevant comments, it makes the ubuntu bugtracker such a pain to use
when one has to wade through dozens if not hundreds of posts to find
some relevant information.

[Bug 415023] Re: brightness is broken on MSI WIND U100

2009-10-27 Thread Guido Berhoerster
Once again, you do not need to press a key, if you adjust the brightness
in software the hardware emits a keypress.

The main issue is that brightness adjustments need to be either handled
in hardware or in software, i.e. by g-p-m, powerdevil etc, and that
right now it is handled by both. This is broken in 9.04 as well, using
the keys you effectively get only 4 brightness levels although it is
capable of 8, there is just no flickering, which seems to be caused by a
rounding bug when using kernel modesetting.

The solution as I see it is that either MSI updates their BIOS or g-p-m
and friends do not attempt to handle it. I don't know the equivalent of
setting laptop_panel.brightness_in_hardware to true in HAL when using
xrandr. I have asked on the gpm list but really don't have time to
investigate any more into this.

Looking into this problem I just found four more duplicates of this bug
and have counted about 45 people confirming this bug. This issue should
at the very least be mentioned in the release notes, given the
popularity of the MSI Wind U90, U120, U123, U100 models (as well as the
various OEM versions such as the Medion Akoya E1210, Advent 4211, LG
X110 etc.) I predict loads of duplicate reports after the release.

 Guido, thank you for that reference!
 
 Do you have a link to the other side of the discussion (i.e. with Bram
 and other Vim developers, assuming there are other Vim developers)?
From the thread referenced in the bugzilla entry it does seem as if it's
 Vim that's using a library incorrectly.

Sorry, that was private correspondence with Bram. Basically vim has its
own main loop and enters and leaves the GTK main loop at pretty much any
event. Bram is fine with this but the GTK devs disapprove this usage. 
Point is, that GTK changed its behavior in an undocumented way and that 
the GTK folks acknowledge this as a problem. So it's either the GTK devs 
revert the behavior of RecentManager or somebody makes substantial 
changes to vim.
If you want even more details on the vim side you can take a look at the
GTK specific code here:

http://vim.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/vim/vim7/src/gui_gtk_x11.c?view=markup
http://vim.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/vim/vim7/src/gui_gtk.c?view=markup

If you want to discuss this further I think it would be more appropriate
if you mail me privately or take this to vim-...@vim.org .

Re: [Bug 251122] Re: vim-gtk/-gnome use of gtk-filechooser causes recently used files list to be constantly written

2009-03-04 Thread Guido Berhoerster
This problem cannot be easily fixed in vim, it uses GTK in a slightly 
unusual way and relied on the documented behavior of gtk_main_quit() 
which the GTK devs silently changed in 2.10.0 (by making RecentManager 
save the recently used files list). A real fix depends on the GTK devs 
reverting this undocumented behavior for which I have filed a RFE at 
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=546691 . So if you care about 
this feel free to bug the GTK folks about it, complaining here will gain 
you nothing.

[Bug 251122] Re: vim-gtk/-gnome use of gtk-filechooser causes recently used files list to be constantly written

2008-08-01 Thread Guido Berhoerster
As I already mentioned above the recently used files list is rewritten
when quitting the last level of the GTK main loop, that is
gtk_main_loop_level reaches 0. However the write happens only if the
recent manager singleton exists which appears to be created lazily on
the first invocation of GtkFileChooser. This allows for a simple but
ugly workaround, namely using the depreceated GtkFileSelection instead.
The code is still in vim, it is activated by commenting out the
USE_FILE_CHOOSER define in src/gui_gtk.c. I have tested this with vim
7.1-056 in Ubuntu and this has gone into vim 7.2 upstream, see patch
7.2b.026.

2008-07-27 Thread Guido Berhoerster
After some further digging into into the issue and with helpful hints from some 
friendly GTK developers I figured out the problem. It's basically that various 
GTK event handlers of the vim GTK2 GUI quit the gtk main loop (see the event 
handlers in src/gui_gtk_x11.c) which implicitly causes GTK to save the recently 
used files list.
I have notified the author of vim.

[Bug 188925] [NEW] Upgrade of glibc causes root filesystem not to be mounted ro on shutdown

2008-02-04 Thread Guido Berhoerster
Public bug reported:

After upgrading the glibc packages the root filesystem cannot be mounted
ro by /etc/init.d/umountroot during the following shutdown/reboot,
resulting in a mount: / is busy Error (see also attached screenshot).
This is very BAD and may cause data loss.

I have tested this on fresh installed and otherwise unmodified
X/K/Ubuntu 7.10 after an upgrade of the packages libc6 and libc6-i686
from version 2.6.1-1ubuntu9 to version 2.6.1-1ubuntu10 in gutsy-updates.
It is easily reproducible in a VM as well as on physical hardware (see
below).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install any Ubuntu 7.10 flavour with default settings (in a VM or your 
hardware)
2. on the first boot use grub's edit function to remove the quiet and 
splash options from the kernel line so you can see what's going on during 
boot/shutdown
3. boot
4. upgrade the libc6 and libc6-i686 packages from version 2.6.1-1ubuntu9 to 
version 2.6.1-1ubuntu10
5. edit /etc/default/rcS anch change VERBOSE=no to VERBOSE=yes in order to make 
the init scripts' output more verbose
6. switch to a vt and reboot the system
7. at the end of the shutdown/reboot process observe the following error:
8
 * Mounting root filesystem read-only...
mount: / is busy
