2012-10-03 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
I've just tested it (Firefox isn't my main browser anymore) .. Ubuntu
is indeed working in Firefox. If somebody else can confirm this for them
as well, we can just close this bug as fixed

[Bug 86686] Re: artwork does not match

2012-10-01 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
It isn't fixed completely, but many aspects have already been taking care of.
First of all, the bootsplash - gdm - desktop transition is without any 
flickering if you have opensource drivers.
Secondly, the three stages have been integrated more: the GDM now shows the 
wallpaper of the selected user. 

As the initial reporter of this wishlist bug, i think i like that
solution (tying the GDM stronger to the desktop) better, than tying it
stronger to the bootsplash.

There is nothing of substance left in my initial report, except for
maybe the notion that the look-and-feel of the three stages should unify
more. But that's so much more general, and likely part of a bigger
design discussion within Canonical .. a discussion that didn't exist way
back when this bug was reported.

[Bug 24280] Re: applications run through gksu cannot use themes in ~/.themes

2012-09-18 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
They sort of did solve this bug. Rather than using gksu and running
applications as an administrator, most applications that require
administrator-privileges use a separate background application. Those
applications have a unlock button.

Most applications have already been upgraded to this new approach,
except for a few, like the update-manager. I think the plan, there, is
to integrate it, within the USC.

I'm not an ubuntu-dev, but it seems they were aiming to fix many
problems at once, using this new architecture, but it's more work, so it
takes a bit longer, but when it's done, not just this bug, but many
others can be closed. It's a different trade-off.

On the other hand, the customization, and manual themes in general, is
taking a back-seat to other priorities.

Regarding the priority: the files have been recovered. (broken up old
laptop to get hard-drive out)

But perhaps, we should file a separate report, about being able to
download all files from the web-interface at once? Something like an
export-files-to-tgz button?

2011-05-12 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
In the mean time, i've hit this bug two more times.

The scenario's:

1 x with development versions of Natty (this bug report), on new hardware
1 x with clean install of release version of Natty, before and after updating, 
on same hardware
1 x with clean install of release version of Natty, after updating, on same 
hardware

In all three cases we've used the same network/machiene name. They all were 
from the same IP as the original was.
In two cases we explictely synchronised the time. 

Many of the workarounds have been tried in the first scenario (during 
development)
But not since.

No, the clock is correct. It has also been synced with the internet
manually, just to make sure.

However, the language is set to English, yet the location has been set
to Amsterdam. Perhaps it's getting the locale wrong, or it isn't using
the proper ways to get the system time?

LP:762004 seems more likely though. Is that bug on schedule to be fixed
for Natty release?

As friendly as possible, I would like to emphasize to you guys, that
people tend to consider this a backup solution. You might be suprised
how upset people can get when they loose their files, or access to them.
So I strongly suggest you guys make Ubuntu One actually working, for
people with existing accounts, a release-blocking priority.

Also, while I have your attention, when looking around at existing bug
reports, many of the bugs marked as 'incomplete' have since provided the
requested information. Some of those include paying customers, (assuming
they aren't lying) that may be getting a little upset. If you guys have
the resources, I would investigate it a little bit.

My gut says many many of those bug reports, both the incomplete ones as
well as the open ones may are all symptons of the same issues. (wrong
local time, bad ubuntu sso keys, corrupted cache). And like always, the
people actually submitting bug reports are likely just the tip of the
iceberg.

Perhaps in the future, you guys should try to get it a little more
robust as well. Verifying system time, removing/resetting cache on
failed connections. (because it may have been corrupted when the user
ran out of the disc-space) The majority of the target audience isn't
likely to be skilled enough to even execute the many 'workarounds'
posted in the Ubuntu Forums.

[Bug 770533] [NEW] keep getting AUTH_FAILED in ubuntu one

2011-04-25 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubuntuone-client

Steps to reproduce
- install natty beta 2 or daily image (Both have been tried)
- connect with Ubuntu One
- get AUTH_FAILED

Things that have been tried:
 - reinstalling from scratch with daily image
 - choosing a different name for the laptop (hostname)
 - removing device through web ui
 - removing passwords
 - synchronizing clock

Pretty much all workarounds that are floating around in the thousands of
forums posts, askubuntu questions, and open bug reports, about Ubuntu
One not syncing / connecting properly. Honestly, for one of the few
commercial products offered by Canonical, the scale of the issues and
the general consensus of using all kinds of workarounds; its a bit
discomforting)

We need these files; the only alternative at the moment is downloading 
file-by-file by hand.
I really hope there is a workaround that actually works; or even better; that 
you guys actually resolve this bug.

Two things come to mind. Could it be a variation of the bad-local-time bug?

Could it be related to the fact that Launchpad connection has been reset

The error code of 400 does not suggest such a thing, but perhaps an

[Bug 729531] Re: tabs do not fit with rest of the system and are unituitive

2011-03-22 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
@Asst

The issue is the consistency. 
The fact that OS-X has tabs-as-buttons in the center, is pretty random.
If they want to properly copy OS-X, they have to copy the guidelines, not the 
screenshots.

The guidelines, just a guess, decided that document-tabs and
application-section-tabs have to look different, because they behave
different. Then, whatever random solution was chosen to differentiate
those two different types of tabs, it was applied consistently
throughout the desktop.

The issue people have have with these buttons as tabs, is that it's the
only place in the whole Ubuntu desktop that uses them. People are
conditioned to think twice before pressing a button.

In the visual language, a button means 'action'. You do something
destructive to the model. (which in this particular case would be the
account setup of Ubuntu One). A tab button however, communicates an
update to the viewer. People click on tabs out of curiosity, even when
they don't know what the word means, or what it's exactly about. It's
always safe to do.

Buttons not so much. You wouldn't press a button you don't understand.

Now changing the interface to consistently use buttons as tabs for
application sections, can be a choice. But only if that decision is
applied throughout the desktop, will the user be properly conditioned
that it's pretty safe to click those, and look around.

And being able to look around and browse the full functionality of an
applications, helps the user get a mental model about the interface.

In this particular case, the user-interface is simply horrible. People
just speak out about the buttons-as-tabs, because it is the biggest
violation. But it's definately not the only one.

The fact that user-interface breaks the consistency of the desktop is
bigger problem, than the actual choice. I don't think anybody would
mind, if this applied consistency.

But it isn't at the moment. Together with Unity, which doesn't use GTK
itself, i think the designers have made it very difficult for them to
make the user feel in control. All these different interfaces differ too
much to look so much alike. In the end you get the typical 'pop  mom'
windows user, that use muscle memory to interact. It's like when you go
a French bar and learned the phrase 'Je voudrais une bierre'. You've
been told this will get  you a beer, but you don't actually know what
you are saying.

In the case of Windows, this is overcome by people taking 5 to 10 years
to learn how to do pretty mundane tasks. I don't think people will ever
have that kind of patient with the Linux desktop.

So, yes, this is micro issue. Who really cares about just the Ubuntu
Control Panel. But it's also an artifact of a much larger issue. The
design teams, needs to start setting up strict guidelines. Perhaps even
publishing them, so it's easy for external application developers to
stick the same conventions.

And as has been states on OMGUbuntu; this design was based on a pixel-
perfect design. ( a print design ). That might not be the most
successful way to design a consistent user-friendly interface.

[Bug 729531] Re: Button-style tabs do not fit with rest of the system and are unituitive

2011-03-22 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
Perhaps we can split up this bug report, into two different bugs?

(1) about it being inconsistent 
(2) about it being unintuitive, even when this change would theoretically be 
applied to all application-section-tabs in all programs

Because only of them is an opinion.
And that one is pretty moot, until there is an intent to setup, or at the very 
least document, Ubuntu's Design Guidelines.

Sure, it is unintuitive by nature, because it doesn't group the
contents. But that's a minor detail, and indeed an opinion, compared the
undeniable fact that it's inconsistent. And that if this is deemed to be
the better design, this should be implemented on a toolkit level, and
apply to all application-section-pages.

Either way fixes this bug for me. 
Hence the reason I argue this bug be split into two bug reports.

[Bug 625193] Re: Official 10.10 wallpaper is unappealing

2010-09-03 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
@Vish

I've read up on most of the mailing list stuff. 
But they never actually state that the wallpaper will change.

The sort of clear communication people are begging here for, is still not there.
Nor is there any debate or talk about the actual arguments of the wallpaper.

They mostly are discussing just how offended they are that people don't like it.
And how it's OMGUbuntu's fault or something, for not properly censoring 
comments that contain criticism of the design.

The wallpaper is important, but the reaction on the mailing list is kind of 
shocking.
I've worked with a lot of designers, and i've never seen this kind of attitude.
Are these people being paid by Canonical to worry about their ego's all day?
Do they realize, that Canonical, the company they are working for, is trying to 
make money of Ubuntu and that the popularity and satisfaction of its' customers 
matters?

They use the word community to exclude people rather than to include people.
It's like the inner circle of Gentoo, Debian or some other 'we are the elite 
and you are not welcome' crowd.

It seems Ubuntu has much bigger problems than just the wallpaper. 
You seem to be very neutral and carry the sort of professional and constructive 
attitude you would expect from a payed Canonical employee, like a light in the 
darkness, on that mailing list. You are not even taking sides, just trying to 
get them to have a constructive conversation.

Is there are any way we can help to resolve this?
I understand everybody just 'shutting up about the wallpaper' would make it 
seem the problem would go away, but that would just encourage and reinforce 
this kind of behavior.

As to Ubuntu One, for example, it's kind of hard to accept we would
indirectly pay these people to address the larger community like this.

Wasn't the point of not using the volunteer community for design work,
but actual paid professionals to prevent exactly _this_ kind of
behavior?

@ Vish

I've finally caught up with Marks intervention.
I should have just clicked your link.
It's good to read that Mark's on top of it and said the magic words. 
Finally.

Let's hope he will also remind the team, they they represent Canonical,
and remind them that Canonical wants to sell its services to everyone,
not just the inner circle of Ubuntu. The word community should not be
used to insinuate that some users aren't 'proper' users and hence may
not provide feedback or talk about your product on whatever platform
they choose.

And that the attitude of the community at large towards the design team
is not a constant, but the result of a two way interaction. You can't
and shouldn't blame random blogs for outbursts of frustration.

It's easy to prevent this kind of stuff. Keep your ego in check, and
_communicate_. If more than 100 people ask the same question, they
should at least bother to answer it. If it reaches thousands of people,
the proper response is not to get offended, but to use it as a moment of
reflection, and to realize that maybe, clarity should have been provided
earlier.

[Bug 625193] Re: Official 10.10 wallpaper is unappealing

2010-08-29 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
@Vish

No one is expected to be an artist here, I'm just questioning why this
is a bug!

I think everybody here understands that something like this isn't an actual 
bug. 
It's also true that what's pretty can be highly subjective. But that doesn't 
mean it's distributed equally. If we have a poll about every wallpaper out 
there, you'll see that there will be a strong general consensus about most of 
them. 

But you wanted some actual arguments about the wallpaper:

1. Two bright colors on the opposite side of the color spectrum are
considering to clash according to color theory.

So, soft orange can be mixed with soft purple, but not bright orange with 
bright purple.
A good way to find colors that actually match is by using a tool called Agave, 
available in the Ubuntu repository.

2. This wallpaper has misdirection associations

Originally (in Lucid) it looked like a shiny purple surface. Which
provided a nice strong contrast with the panels and the windows.

But now that faint association is gone. It no longer resembles a shiny surface, 
because of the non shiny orange spots. 
People are now having faint association with a zoomed in picture of something 
biological. Combined with the clashing colors, they associate it with a 
decease. This is I think a bad thing.

3. Because of the lucid wallpaper that was the basis, people will focus
on the transition, which makes it look sloppy

So Maverick is just like Lucid, but with orange spots? We visually
separate the spots from the purple surface, because we know the old
wallpaper so well. This makes Maverick look very sloppy, because the
spots by themselves are very easy to make, and are judged by themselves.

So, what are the properties a good default wall-paper should have?

1. it should be easily distinguishable from the icons on top of it
(people put files on their desktop!)

  - it shouldn't use any colors that used a lot in icons or the label 
underneath the icon  
  - it shouldn't use any colors that appear the same to a colorblind person as 
colors used in the icons or the label  
  - it should be easy to separate the 2D icon grid from the wallpaper in your 
mind. (in other words, it should be easy to tell for every pixel on the screen 
whether it belongs to an icon or the wallpaper). Possible ways to do that are:

  - use a 3D wallpaper
  - use something that has a strong contrast in color
  - use something that has a strong contrast in texture

2. people should generally find it pleasant to look at

- the color should not clash. (clashing colors can easily be lookup, or you 
ask any person that consciously dresses themselves in the morning, rather than 
putting something on randomly)
 
   - it should have a positive association. If you take a look in a poster 
store, you'll see a lot of posters of animals, nature, landscapes, people and 
history rich objects. This seems to suggest those types of posters sell better, 
because a larger group of people find them pleasant to look at. A quick survery 
of most popular wallpapers in the community contest as well as the most popular 
wallpapers on gnome-look suggest these assumptions to be true.

To summarize:

 - the current wallpaper is bad for usability
 - the current wallpaper can be considered ugly on objective grounds 

People aren't complaining just because they don't love the wallpaper. 
It's because they distaste the wallpaper.
The difference is crucial!

It's impossible for a distrobution to have a wallpaper everybody likes.
But it's quite a feat to make a wallpaper that people actively dislike.

So let's treat this as a true bug-report. 
The current wallpaper upsets people.

Suggested fix: remove wallpaper, and default to single solid background color.
If the Ubuntu design team doesn't want that, they could pick one of the 
community wallpapers, which have proven that a large group of people is 
favorable of them.

People interested in discussing/questioning the wallpaper can rather bring up 
the discussion on the Ayatana mailing list.
A launchpad bug report is *not* the place for discussions.

You really prefer these 80+ people here, to spam a mailing list and clog up 
internal discussion of the design team?
The point was simply to cry out and reach you guys. I think for everybody's 
sake it's better to keep this wrapped up in a single bug report. Since it's not 
really a debate, nor an information gathering thing. It's just a way for the 
community to shout out, and to make sure we are notified when it is resolved.

2010-08-27 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
+1 actual username (as in: the same name the folder actually has)

Whenever I install ubuntu for a new user; they _always_ ask about this.
So here is my reply:



   Well, there is this folder, where you keep your files.
   It's name is your username. Every user has its folder like that, in a 
folder called 'home'.

   It's called something differently in a lot of situations. 
   Personal files (dutch translation!) in this translated application. 
   Home folder in this other non-translated application, eventhough it's 
not the same folder as 'home'

   You can best just try, and remember visually the places where you click 
and where they go.
   Expect no consistency. 



Here's a rule of thumb.
No folder may have more than one name.

I don't care what the folder is called by default. 
But it should be called the same thing:

  - when browsing in the /home folder in nautilus (as any user)
  - in the nautilus crumble bar
  - in the nautilus crumble bar, when on literal mode (control+L)
  - in search-dialogs
  - nautilus sidebar
  - nautilus go-menu
  - terminal commands
  - gtk-open dialogs
  - location-menu
  - non-native file dialogs (like Java apps  wine apps)

So, how did this situation get so messy?
Well, because appearantly, there are people out there, that believe that we 
should be managing the names of folders in language-packs. They apparently 
don't know what a filesystem does.

Folders are complicated enough for people to begin with. 
And every application and place having a discussion about what their 
translation should be, isn't helping.

This should be in the HIG: You may never, put a folder name in a 
translation-file. 
If you think other names are more 'usable', go argue to change the default name.
But not in the application's language-packs. The file-system is quite capable 
of managing the actual name of the folder.

For example, it would a smart idea to rename /media to /devices, so wouldn't 
need this fake 'this computer' folder. 
Try going a level up from a mount. It's doesn't even go back to this fake 'this 
computer' folder.

It's so confusing. One file-hierarchy to rule them all, please. 
With one name per folder. Predictable, consistent.

And yes, maybe the default folder names of things should be changed. 
But we should never put that change into applications or language-packs.

2010-03-14 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
Please apply the patch from SUSE found in the gnome-bug report. 
When, (and if ever) they fix it more properly, we can always revert to that 
solution.

For now, it needs to be either patched, or ubuntu should stop officially 
supporting 1024 and therefor netbooks.
Being able to select a language or sessions seems very core usability to me.

So +1 for just applying the SUSE patch.
They were right about needing a quick workaround. The current state is 
unreleasable and it's the first impression people will have.

Chris, do you have to the right to apply that patch? Or should I upload
the same patch here, so it's gets flagged as low-hanging-fruit?

[Bug 532633] Re: [light-theme] please revert the order of the window controls back to menu:minimize, maximize, close

2010-03-13 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
It's funny how whenever there is bad press (and the net is full of hate
now, because of this decision), they say file bugs, participate in the
community.

And there's the stonewalling.
I really feel like Canonical is just giving us the finger here.

The success of Ubuntu was always about the community. And often when
there was an 'issue' that divided Canonical from Ubuntu, canonical could
count on a very large silent majority (for example, look at the issue of
codecs).

But that silent majority is upset. They don't like many of the changes.
I've shows the look 'n feel to a couple of users I maintain, and they are very 
explicitely 'i don't want that'. 

Not just about the window icons. The icon spacing also.
And they already hated the gdm changes that happened in karmic.

Just a general question, does Canonical do any user testing at all?

Because I literally showed this to my non-technical friends I have running on 
Ubuntu, just to get an honest response. 
I wasn't suggesting I didn't like the theme or anything. I was really curious 
if this was one of those 'silent majority' situations again, where only us 
nerds get upset.

But it's not.

Mark I want to warn you.
This is going to seriously Ubuntu's popularity. 

Not just the window button issue. But the complete inconsistency of the
design.

To summarize the issues:
  - with lucid whether programs will have their buttons on left or right will 
be random in the eyes of most users
  - the close button is not at a corner, which will increase RSI  
  - the GDM is still not usuable on 1024 width, (ever since Karmic). It simply 
doesn't fit.
  - the horizontal margins on the notification area are different from the 
vertical margins and any other visual language throughout the UI
  - red is only used on the window buttons
  - the window buttons are the only one's that look like spheres.
  - purple is only for both tooltips and window background, making them hard to 
read.
  - the scrollbars have a very different inconsistent 3d effect with gourad 
shading on them that's not used anywhere else.
  - the issue of the ugly position of notification bubbles is still there 
(because of the searchbox when we have firefox maximized? seriously?)

Maybe the designers you hired are very talented. Maybe they are not.
But the end result is a mutated monster with no vision, with no consistent 
visual language and it is upsetting everybody.
Stop stonewalling the community.

If the before mentioned issues are really design decisions (which I doubt), 
then we would love to hear the rationale.
So far, all we hear is stuff like 'opinions can differ' .. and 'its not final 
yet'.

Should design start with the rationale, and then be implemented.

Shouldn't it be easy to publish the rationale of stuff like the window
button positions, icon spacing issues, gdm not fitting in 1024 width
anymore, etc. ?

Or were the rationales not documented?
Or perhaps more likely, for many of these decisions, there was no rationale? 

Look at how well established and consistent the branding work was..  and how 
easy it was to explain the rationale. 
is it too much to ask to do the same for the style of _actual product_ ?

2010-03-11 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
The spacing is inconsistent WITH THE DEFAULT ICONS at the top right at a
FRESH INSTALL with the DEFAULT THEME.

And it takes up too much space to begin with on a 1024 width display.
(just like GDM since Karmic).

I was assuming this bug to be something by the authors to remind themselves.
The fact they didn't notice it at all is disturbing. They don't have an eye for 
design at all.

(Does explain the GDM issue, this spacing issue, the inconsistent
positioning of notifications and the close button not being at a corner)

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdm

On a netbook with resolution 1024x600,  the gdm greeter doesn't fit
horizontally on screen.

The bar at the bottom is extended to the left and right, beyond what we
can see.

This happens with dutch locale, and alternative keyboard setup ( international

But the UI should just be fixed, to prevent these issues.

[Bug 393888] Re: Ruby 1.9.0 curses Alt-key handling broken

2010-02-13 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
Sorry for the late reply.

It does happen with the 1.9 ruby package in Karmic. It doesn't happen
when I build from source (apt-get source ruby1.9.1  apt-get build-dep
ruby1.9.1). But it's hard to tell because I likely have all kinds of
build dependencies installed. In the next few days, I'll find some time
to create another virtual machiene running the ubuntu-virtual-server
image of lucid. That should clear things up as to what packages have
this bug and what triggers it.

I suppose it's better that I test the lucid situation than the karmic
situation anyways.

Just a general question: what will the ruby transitional package refer to?
And what will be the default dependency of ruby related packages (like diakonos 
or passenger) to depend upon?

I would really like to see Ubuntu make the transition away from ruby 1.8
.. nobody is running stock ruby1.8 with passenger on a production
server. They are either running ruby enterprise editition or ruby 1.9,
because the performance simple isn't acceptable otherwise.

It would be really great if apt-get install ruby ruby-gems 
apache-module-passenger .. setup a working 1.9.1 setup.
Unfortunately I'm not a C programmer and am not too familiar with their build 
system. But i'll do my best to pinpoint the problems and possible diversions 
from upstream that are responsible for the issues.

[Bug 393888] Re: Ruby 1.9.0 curses Alt-key handling broken

2010-01-22 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
I've nominated this for server-papercuts. Although it's not that
important, it's sort of annoying that ruby scripts can't deal with
curses properly when using 1.9. It means no diakonos, but worse: no io
terminal based ruby scripts.

Also, outside of this bug scope, (i'm sorry to put this here) but I
would like the server guys to try to get the ruby platform together.
Debian has completely  up their ruby support.

My suggestion is quite simple. Make ruby default to 1.9.2
And create a ruby-passenger-apache metapackage. One that actually works.
This would install passenger, ruby, gem and configure apache.

Just because we can do apt-get install rails, doesn't mean it's wise and
EVERYBODY is advising against it.

For your information to current workaround EVERBODY uses for ruby now is:
 - install build-essentials, apache dev-headers
 - download ruby
 - compile and install ruby yourself  (which by default includes gem now)
 - gem install passenger
 - passenger-install-apache module

What it should be like:
- apt-get install ruby1.9.2 gem1.9.2
- apt-get install apache-module-passenger
- gem install rails

Rails shouldn't be packaged. Sites we make or share don't work with rails. 
They work with a specific version of rails. Gem can install any version 
side-by-side. 

Oh now, we are at it, diakonos has a new upstream version as well that fixes a 
few annoying bugs.
Diakonos should be a great contenter for default text-editor on the ubuntu 
server platform. 
(it has all the nice vim features, but defaults to keybindings of gedit/kedit 
.. )
Diakonos requires 1.9.2 .. btw .. i don't know why current package depends on 
ruby1.8 (it's a mistake)

Please, for the LTS release, make ruby support less of nightmare. 
We would be even better off with not having any ruby related package in the 
repositories, if you can't fix the current ones, because that would save a lot 
of people a lot of time.

[Bug 54273] Re: USB device not accepting address: error -110

2010-01-01 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
iulian is right.

This is all related to POWER.

I had the same problem with a powered USB hub.
It didn't work (and made lsusb hang!) and gave the same -110 error in dmesg

Until I removed the power from the usb-hub and plugged it in again.
At that point the usb-hub still worked for my mice, (but not my external HD, 
because that required more power).
Then I could turn the power on and the hub kept working and the drive also 
started to work.

I've had a similar problem with my printer, which made Ubuntu not boot at all 
in the past, if it was turned on when booting.
But it wasn't until I had this issue with the hub (that works both with and 
without power) than I could see that enumaration fails on powered USB devices 
if they were powered on during boot.

SO, dear Kernel developers (that are no longer reading this bug, from what I 
gather) .. the issue is:
USB devices that are externally powered, block usb enumeration, if you attach 
them with the power plugged in.

[Bug 402767] Re: multisearch CSE breaks l18n+setfocus+images+cached+I'm feeling lucky functionality and violates user trust

2009-08-08 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
It seems it won't be removed before the feature freeze. This worries me
a great deal.

If this is going to end up in Ubuntu and this all was just an experiment
to see if we would swallow it. The answer is: no, we won't and the fact
that you guys tried this has already enough damage.

I strongly recommend you remove this tool for the next alpha release. As
to get usefull data: you are not getting any usefull data because nobody
is using it the way they were using it, since you broke most of it. So,
that part, at this point, can only be a blatent lie. You are not getting
usability data, since it is now mostly not usable any more.

Also, as far I as I understood, the adds are optional, so why are they
there? This is not about usability data. You are really trying to do
this.

I can't believe it would Ubuntu itself that would break the ubuntu code of 
conduct. 
Spyware. The word is spyware. You are becoming what we were running away from 
on Windows.

If there was any decent intention: we would need a PROMISE this will not be in 
the final version.
While you at it, will you please update the Ubuntu Promise at http://ubuntu.com 
.. since those promises are no longer true.

[Bug 402767] Re: multisearch add on blocks the functionality of firefox location bar

2009-07-25 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
I'll be watching this bug report closely, because this a show-stopper for me.
I can fix it on my setup, but I don't feel like supporting this fix or these 
sort of intense changes to the default firefox.

Some notes:

 - this feels like spyware/adware. The biggest (and almost only)
selling point of linux in my community is lack of commercial
'annoyances'. I understand that needs differ and that canonical is
trying to look at a way to make money. I am not condemning it. I'm just
saying it would make the decision to choose Ubuntu much much harder. It
would be very less sympathetic.

 - opening default homepage on new tabs is fine. Although, if this is
really about improving the experience, I would vote for a chrome-like
start-tab: with the favorite sites listed. I've never really quite
understood why I have two search fields when I launch firefox. One in
the browser, one in the top-right.

- If you want to make money from advertisement, the default homepage
would be the place where it's non-obtrusive. Show my favorite sites and
based on that show a google-ads-box on the right or something. Show them
in a place where I click around when i'm bored, not when I am trying to
get work done.

 - urlbar should be google-i-feel-lucky. That is the killer feature of
firefox and chrome. Don't mess with that please. If we want to search,
we will use the search box. Everybody that I know that uses firefox
loves that part more than anything.

 - the default search should not contain MORE ads than google does by
default. If that's not possible without making money on it: be creative
and find another way. (Like putting the ads on my default homepage
together with my most visisted sites and most recently visited sites ..
chrome style)

 - the default search should not have less functionality or break
integration with the rest of google. If the default search is going to
be different from a normal google search, dont' call it google, don't
use the google icon. Just add a 'ubuntu-search' with an ubuntu logo and
make the default. That way we can still choose to use google easily, yet
we can also choose to support Canonical.

[Bug 344978] Re: notify-osd takes you out of the fullscreen flashplayer

2009-06-19 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
Would the fix for
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/388547 also
automatically solve this bug?

More importantly, shouldn't certain keys be catched by gnome or the
xserver and not ever be send down to the actual application?

I think the flash-player even _receiving_ the volume control keypress is
a bug. It shouldn't get any event, the message was not intended for
flash.

All key-binding in metacity/compiz (System - Preferences - Keyboard
Shortcuts) should always be catched, and should never be send to current
application.

If there is overlap between application defined keys and default gnome
shortcuts, then that would be a bug _anyway_ and the current behavior
would just be dangerous. Imagine a program binding alt-tab to some
destructive operation. People should have the confidence than those keys
work consistently without any risk.

[Bug 331369] Re: regression vs. notification-daemon: positioning when multiple screens are available

2009-03-28 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
Is there currently a workaround?
A way to position the location manually?


It took me a while to figure out why I didn't see any notifications by default. 
My right monitor is smaller and has a lesser resolution, so the top-right of 
the combined viewport isn't visible. Hence, I saw no notifications at all. 

Is there some place to configure the location? I would rather have them
start at the bottom-left of the viewport.

PS. A proper fix would be to:
 - either show notifications on both screens (ignoring the combined viewport)
 - show on the primary screen (hence the word 'primary')
 - have a way to configure where to show the notification (perhaps some people 
prefer it to be in the center or the left of the screen?). The current choice 
(top right) assumes a lot of things about how a desktop is setup. My least 
used-place on the screen is the bottom-left.  But that's just MY setup. Perhaps 
a place in gconf where the power users can configure this stuff?

[Bug 274714] Re: System Cleaner Has No Icon

2008-10-21 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
Please either:
 - just remove the package,
 - add one of the above attached icons, or use a stock one, and move it to the 
administration menu

If somebody thinks the administration menu is too big, let them create a
nice proposal to clean it up. This belongs in the administration menu.

Example stuff that doesn't belong in Administration:
  - system monitor
  - create an usb startup disc 
  - network tools

Just because some 'usability' guy says so, doesn't mean you have to
listen to it. He/she is not here defending it. Please just change it; it
looks out of place all by itself in that menu, and it doesn't belong
their either. It's not a day-to-day tool. It's a system configuration
tool. Compare with the three tools above.

Also, if that person was in charge over the menu's .. then either that
person isn't consistent and isn't in their right mind, much more likely
.. the person just doesn't really care, didn't bother to fix it, but
still had a general opinion about the administration menu being too big.
And now they wasted your and our time.

For the polish, the icon and menu position are release blockers. It's
like a clean floor. People will always notice the biggest spot on the
floor. This is the new biggest spot. The place that screams
'unfinished'.

That is not your fault. It seems it was added quite late to the release. So my 
advise, as a nobody:
  - just add an icon: ANY ICON
  - move it to the administration menu

Perhaps there is a solution that makes a race condition theoretically
impossible? Like launching pulseaudio after the login-sound .. or having

 I've  been using this release for a couple of days before I uploaded it,
 and I obviously don't see this problem.  Can I get the ~/.config/gnome-
 do/Log from someone who's experiencing this problem?

 Bonus points if Hide window on first launch (quiet mode) is turned

Re: [Bug 279574] Re: REGRESSION: clock applet no longer has a built-in list of locations, their position and related weather code

2008-10-07 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
Sorry about the regression, I really thought the functionality was just
stripped out.

I didn't mean that in a 'caps means aggresive' way .. i always assumed there
was a special 'REGRESSION' filter, because a lot of bug reports concerning
regressions start like that.

But the bug report is very valid though.

I played with the weather thing for at least 10 minutes and couldn't find a
way to get the weather working again.

Now that you mention there is supposed to be autocompletition .. yes, i
found something nearby .. and when I select that, the weather works. (i
guess when you use autocompletition the weathercode is filled into some
invisible form element)

It did take a while to find something though, because i had to try typing
every town nearby to find which one is in the auto-completition list..

So, the problems with this setup:

1) There is no indication that there is auto-completition that will fill in
the coordinates
2) Auto-completition means you have to try all towns nearby (it would be
smarter to reverse the order to [country], [town]
3) I assume weather only works when you use auto-completition .. so, just
typing your town's name might be problematic.

I may not be an elite hacker, but I'm not Ms. Simpleton either, and if I had
troubles figuring this out and making the clock applet display the weather
.. then millions will have those same issues as well.

Also, in the past, i'm not sure if this was unique to dutch localisation,
but it defaulted to 'Utrecht/Soesterberg' in Holland; as in select Dutch as
installation language and that would be the default.

Now, i'm pretty sure, most new users won't even realize the clock applet is
capable of displaying the weather.


2008/10/7 Sebastien Bacher [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 There is no need to writte regression in big letter in the title for
 every behaviour change that attitude is not constructive. The hardy
 version didn't have a location by default no and the list is still there
 but the user interface change, you just have to type your location now
 and it will autocomplete on the list. Closing that's not a bug but just
 a behaviour change

[Bug 279574] [NEW] REGRESSION: clock applet no longer has a built-in list of locations, their position and related weather code

2008-10-07 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

Steps to repeat:

 - install/run intrepid beta 
 - Notice there is not a default time-zone in the clock-applet
 - Try adding your own location. 
 - You have to manually specify coordinates.
 - There is no way to enter a weather location code

Expected results: (aka what happened in Hardy)

 - install Ubuntu
 - it has a default location for your language and immediately displays weather 
info
 - add another location .. select one from a built-in list .. 
 - automatically have weather info and coordinates

In other words:

Where did the built-in list of cities and weather-codes go?

Re: [Bug 263555] Re: [intrepid] 2.6.27 e1000e driver places Intel ICH8 and ICH9 gigE chipsets at risk

2008-10-02 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
And because, after they learned about the problem, they failed to
communicate effectively and never removed the cd-image.

This has never happened before, and obviously there was no policy for this
situation. Which automatically means that some developpers turn into 'its
your fault'-mode and be less supportive of the community members who have
bricked their hardware. It turned into a blame game.

There were more it's an alpha .. you knew what you were getting it to 
expressions than any compassion. Worse, appearantly its easier to type it's
an alpha ..  off course it's going to break your hardware .. and you test on
your own risk .. 10 times .. than to put a warning up. At least: it was
said at least 10 times before the warning was up.

That speaks volumes about priority. And the image is still available and
linked to from many places that do not contain the warning.

The mistake was just an oopsie .. the aftermath, how it was being dealt
with, (and still is) .. a PR horror.

What more can they do?

Well, they could:

a) Pull the images immediately, instead of entering a discussion just
how import the hardware of those who volunteer to test really is.

b) Put the warning on planet-ubuntu,  instead of entering a discussion
just how import the hardware of those who volunteer to test really is.

c) Put out a security bulletin,  instead of entering a discussion just
how import the hardware of those who volunteer to test really is.

d) Shout it at on IRC, instead of entering a discussion just how
import the hardware of those who volunteer to test really is.

e) Upload a blacklist-fix immediately,  instead of entering a
discussion just how import the hardware of those who volunteer to test
really is.

YES THESE THINGS CAN HAPPEN.

But like with a security flaw; it's all about HOW FAST and IF YOU CARE
they respond.
The first things that people will read about this bug, after it
destroyed their hardware is that they shouldn't complain: it's alpha
software ..

WHAT KIND OF POLICY IS THIS?

I mean, the comment asking for suggestions of the text yesterday ..
seems to indicate that nobody was in a hurry ..

Colin .. a question for you... between the time you asked for
suggestions of the possible warning text and the time that an actual
warning test was put on the release notes .. ..how many people have
downloaded? You have the information .. in the very best case only 10%
or something will be affected.

Might be an interesting number to consider.

No warning

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/intrepid/alpha-6/

No warning

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/intrepid/alpha-6/intrepid-
desktop-i386.iso

Download works.

How many people test these iso's? How many of them are using an intel 
motherboard? (10%-40% ?)
How many will ever test again if testing an ISO means you are frying your 
motherboard.

This isn't a blame game. But if top priority is not removing the alpha,
it will very soon be...

We are talking about thousands, if not millions, of laptops and pc's
that will be broken beyond repair, if I'm not mistaken...

And some people actually say things like:

Jeffrey, we can't afford to do that; we need to be able to test with
the Alpha CDs on the wide variety of hardware not affected by this bug,

Don't you get it. If you don't pull now, NOBODY WILL TEST THE NEXT VERSION. 
There will be no NEXT VERSION because nobody DARES to install it. 

It's alpha software, people should be considered as being aware that
using it might break stuff.

Yes, it may corrupt data. [but if it does that beyond its own partition; it 
should be a big issue as well]
But BREAKING hardware?


I'm quite sure that afterwards some quality control and reflection .. that 
there will be SOME policy to prevent these mistakes (NOT TAKING THE IMAGE DOWN) 
.. 

But it will be too late.

PULL THE IMAGE: THEN DISCUSS!

The process is working as far as I can see, we have a set of users that
is reporting the problem, which will help keep the kernels with the
issue from being promoted to full production status.

I'm sorry .. will you buy these a new laptop? Ifso, then the proccess is
working.

Try advertising: there is a 50% chance that this will destroy your hardware.
How many testers will you have got left? ZERO.

THE IMPLIED RISK OF TESTING ALPHA SOFTWARE IS DATA CORRUPTION.

What's next? THe machiene blows up and kills people? 
Would that be a reason to remove a machiene-destroying cd-image?

YES, its' not Ubuntu's fault .. the alpha is shipped. The procces is
working, but the procces is not done until somebody QUICKLY removes the
image.

No tester signed up for this; and I for sure will not ever put an alpha
disc into one of my machienes. I'll even wait a couple of months after
the release.

It's not that this happened. It's that afterwards official developers
consider loosing half the hardware of every volunteers that test  a sane
and good move. Just part of the proccess.

This discussion SHOULD NOT BE MOVED TO A MAILING, until the CD IMAGE IS
GONE.

I know this is not the UBUNTU code of conduct. But so is WILLFULLY
DAMAGE PEOPLES PROPERTY.

You know of the BUG, REMOVE THE IMAGE.

This is not hate or anger; just common sense. Installing Ubuntu then
suddenly becomes the lawyers have to look at some EULA ..

Not acceptable by default. Firefox can be offered in add/remove or as a
link, or even a sort of wizard; but we can't have the risk of people
clicking through EULA's in the name of their company. We can't also,
everywhere, make sure we can legally accept the EULA.

I don't really understand what Mozilla is doing... 
 - this is making it difficult to preinstall firefox 
 - this is making installing Ubuntu a lawyer related question 

At least offer an EULA-free Ubuntu-spin. EULA's are legally speaking

2008-09-14 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
There are a lot of powerfull brands that are not installed by default
but available in add/remove, for various reasons. Firefox is the _only_
package where 'brand' recognition is even brought to table as an
argument in favor of inclusion. I don't get that.

Azureus is more popular (in the Windows ecosystem) than Transmission,
but transmission is much better choice for a default install.

Amarok is more popular (has more brand recognition) than Rhythmbox, but
rhythmbox is much better choice for a default gnome install.

Firefox is more popular on Windows than icedove (or whatever), but
Icedove just became the much better choice.

Instead of hoping the Ubuntu brand becomes more popular because of
Firefox, we've reached the point where firefox is hurting the Ubuntu
brand. The brand that should be on the table is that of Ubuntu. There
are so many separate parts of the experience, from the linux kernel,
gnu-toolkit upto the desktop environments.  Imagine all those brands
getting the same treatment as Firefox?

Mark, please consider the fact that, __this creates a presedence__. We
might not like it, it might even hurt Ubuntu, but you've got to draw the
line _somewhere_.

Mozilla is interfering with the creation of the ultimate operating
system. What's next? Demanding Evolution gets replaced by Thunderbird?
Or else we can't legally ship firefox and _call it_ firefox.

Enough is enough.

What people feared that would happen, back when the trademark issue come
up, is exactly what is happening. We might not like it, but the mozilla
name has got to go. At least until they fire their new CEO .. which
appearantly definately needs to happen soon. We, the nerds installing it
on every machiene we got our hands on, made them big and we'll bring 'em
down.

Perhaps it's time for a fork? And couldn't the Ubuntu foundation use the
google and yahoo dollars that they pay to Mozilla? Don't call it
abrowser .. how about uBrowser .. and install it _instead of firefox_

We could install the unbranded version by default!

And, ethnically speaking,

You mean legally...

you already agree to EULA's implicitly when you
install Ubuntu - to all of the GPL's and other licenses. Having one
presented to you so you have a choice of declining it is, well, better.

GPL is not an EULA. GPL is a liscence from the author to whoever wants
it to distrobute. The right to distrobute is not one you get by default;
you have to explicitely get permission from the author; which is what
the GPL Is. The GPL only applies when you are _distrobuting_ ..

Which is completely different from an EULA ..which puts restrictions on the 
USER.
So, if I download Ubuntu and give it to you, it's because the GPL lets me do 
that.
You, the receiving party, have agreed to nothing.

So, like I said before, EULA's are more problematic than closed-source
software.

[Bug 269656] Re: AN IRRELEVANT LICENSE IS PRESENTED TO YOU FREE-OF-CHARGE ON STARTUP

2008-09-14 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
@Alex

Perhaps for the home user it is acceptable to just click some EULA that isn't 
legally upholding anyway.
But this destroys Ubuntu for corporate usage. Every application that is offered 
to the users and that ships with a EULA will need that EULA to be verified by 
the lawyers.

Since an open source operating system contains a lot of different
software using a lot of different trademarks and everything; this could
lead to situtation where there are too many EULA's ..and deploying linux
becomes the more expensive option.

Besides, there is enough trademark confusion anyway. Is it firefox? Is
it Ubuntu? Is it gnome? Is is Linux? Is it Debian?

We might even consider having less trademarks a good thing. Just one:
Ubuntu.

Re: [Bug 187677] Re: Left Win-key compose does not work anymore

2008-09-05 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
Definately a regression.

But what is more shocking is that turning auto-login on can cause
these kinds of side-effects in the first place.

Somehow the design/architecture of gdm is such that there can be a
difference between an auto-started session and a session where you
login manually.

The fact this kind of bug can exist in the gdm package makes me very
tempted to just replace it with another display manager.
Any one have any suggestions for a display manager that is clear
minimal and well maintained?

2008/9/5 Joseph Piche [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 I'm glad that you have a workaround, but does anybody have an idea how
 this might be truly fixed? Also, has anybody tested this is gutsy? Maybe
 it's a regression.

[Bug 216322] Re: SDL applications auto-leave fullscreen if set to native 1280x1024 or higher resolution and Compiz is enabled.

2008-06-28 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
It is _NOT_ resolution specific.

This bug occurs for all SDL games, when the resolution of the game is EQUAL to 
the resolution of the desktop.
Whatever resolution that may be.

Workarounds:
  - make sure you run the game in a different resolution than your desktop
  - turn off compiz (switch back to metacity) temporarily (alt+f2 .. and type 
.. metacity --replace before you play, then type compiz --replace after 
your done playing your game)
  - install compiz advanced configuration tool and turn off 'auto-redirect 
fullscreen applications' .. note you need a better 3d card than normal .. at 
least more texture memory anyway..

2008-06-13 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
EHm, isn't this a duplicate? Doesn't this happen _whenever_ the
resolution of the game is equal to that of the desktop, if running
compiz?

Current workarounds:
  - run games in a different resolution, than your desktop
 - do not use compiz
 - turn off auto redirect fullscreen applications..

2008/6/13 NY00123 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 In my case, it looks like unclutter isn't installed here. Anyway, Compiz
 is disabled for now (and the resolution is again 1280x1024).

[Bug 52878] Re: Tracker/Beagle are installed but the Places - Search menu is not updated

2008-05-25 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
Traditional search may still be needed sometimes.

1) Only power users need to meddle with files outside of their own directory 
(which tracker doesn't index)
2) Power-users can be assumed to be smart enough to enable the desktop entry 
themselves (it is just unchecked by default)
3) Nautilus search now defaults to search the old way (in the current directory 
with all the extra possible options, like matching certain file sizes or 
types). which also allows to search in locations that are not indexed by 
tracker.  The only missing function is regular expressions. But wouldn't people 
that know regular expressions just use the command line in the first place?
4) An alternative option could be, at least for Intrepid, to ship an all in one 
search tool, like catfish. I wonder how much trouble it would be to give that 
tool a simple and advanced mode?

Perhaps a strategy on file-searching and indexing would be a smart move? A 
specification perrhaps? 
I feel this bug is more a sympton of a lacking strategy on this subject. 
Perhaps we should send a mail to the ubuntu-desktop list to encourage them to 
define some guidelines on this topic?



However, currently in Nautilus, it now defaults back to traditional searching, 
so I see little need for it.

[Bug 188226] Re: Kernel should use CONFIG_FAIR_CGROUP_SCHED

2008-05-01 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
I really do wish that desktop responsiveness gets the same attention in the 
future.
Going from a clean install of gutsy to a clean install of hardy felt like going 
from win 3.11 to Vista. 

Like the majority of the users, I assumed it was related to some
hardware configuration; perhaps the binary NVidia driver; perhaps bugs
in Compiz; I also assumed that pulseaudio support, since it is new, just
had some initial quirks.

To learn that it is a system-wide issue; effecting _everyone_ is a
little surpising.

Can we file bug against the quality control protocol in place? To prevent these 
huge regressions in the future?
It's hard to imagine those responsible for the kernel didn't notice this. 
Desktop responsiveness should be a top priority. Perhaps the kernel developpers 
make less use of the multimedia features themselves? Too much work and too 
little play? Ifso, the solution seems simple; mandatory play-time!

Re: [Bug 12153] Re: Cannot use Windows key in keyboard shortcuts

2008-04-21 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
You can use compiz's advanced settings tool. That seems to work fine for
me.

2008/4/21, ross [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 I'm on Gutsy, on a PC, with a UK keyboard. I've had similar problems to some 
 of the posters here. Pressing Left windows+t launches a terminal, which is 
 good - I asked it to do this.
  Pressing Left windows+e does not launch my home folder, despite me asking 
 it to do so in exactly the same way.

  I liked Cardy's solution of manually typing Wine into gconf-editor.
  This worked, kind of - except it soon became clear that Gnome was just
  ignoring the Win part, and was launching Nautilus every time I pressed
  the 'e' key. Not ideal.

  Are others finding this problem with Cardy's solution (and backed up by
  Paul K)? Any other work-arounds? I can live without Wine launching
  nautilus, but I'm not sure my wife can!

[Bug 213667] Re: please sync miro with upstream to close about 90% of all miro bug reports

2008-04-16 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
Importance: whishlist?

You don't have to sync. We can also just _remove_ the package.

Keeping the current package seems like a negative value proposition to
Ubuntu, the Miro Devs and the Ubuntu users. Things that can happen:

1-It wastes people time when they try the program
2-It sends the message Miro sucks
3-It sends the message Ubuntu sucks

If we can't get a UVF exception, just _remove_ the package.

[Bug 213838] [NEW] numlock state should be remembered per user

2008-04-08 Thread Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-session

Not entirely sure if this is the correct package.
I assume this package also deals with the multimedia keys.

It would be brilliant to make it store the current state of numlock in
the gconf-registery and turns to this state when logging into the
desktop.

This way, people that prefer numlock on, will always have it on, whereas
users that prefer to keep it off always have it off. This way also does
not require any graphical settings at all. It would Just Work (tm). The
numlock state would just be persistent, rather than transient. A much
better solution than defaulting to any state.

The same could be done for capslock, but I think that's less important.

See this brainstorm:
http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/6605/
