[Bug 1335492] Re: [4.11.8] Desktop icons rearrange on each login
I have 4.14 installed on Xubuntu 20.04 and it has still been happening recently. I think it only happens when there are many icons to deal with. It works fine as long as the desktop starts very rapidly, but if it takes any time they get reset. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1335492 Title: [4.11.8] Desktop icons rearrange on each login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfdesktop/+bug/1335492/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1763111] Re: autokey starting maximized (not in system tray)
I have been having the same issue with Xubuntu 20.04. There are two instances being added in the session (restart if running). Sometimes it opens the interface, other times the two start so close together that they trip over each other and one produces an error window creating the lock file in /run/user/1000/autokey. The app is running (and minimised in the tray) but the whichever window comes up is frustrating! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1763111 Title: autokey starting maximized (not in system tray) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autokey/+bug/1763111/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1879136] [NEW] Can't save preferences when remote machines unavailable
Public bug reported: I have a couple of backups, over ssh, to a machine which is not accessible 24/7. Since upgrading my system to 20.04 from 18.04, the included version of backintime-qt, presumably checking the integrity of settings, closes the backup settings dialog but does not save any changes made (without warning) to *any* profile, if the remote host on other profiles are not up; it works fine when they are up. The old version would complain about remote hosts being unavailable, but still allowed changes to be saved. This means I cannot change my local backup settings without first turning other computers on unnecessarily! Ideally I should be able to make changes to remote system profiles, too, even if they are down at that time. -- Description:Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Release:20.04 backintime-qt: Installed: 1.2.1-2 Candidate: 1.2.1-2 Version table: *** 1.2.1-2 500 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe amd64 Packages 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: backintime (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879136 Title: Can't save preferences when remote machines unavailable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/backintime/+bug/1879136/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1335492] Re: [4.11.8] Desktop icons rearrange on each login
I have now written a patch script to deal with this problem on my machine as it's been like this for many years with no progress. I don't understand the internals, but it occurs 100% when the desktop starts laying out icons before the underlying system has read the configuration (it occasionally gets the first couple), so starts "not knowing" where icons go, so creates a new entry, starting from the left side of the screen. I have eradicated the problem by holding a backup of the configuration, waiting for disk activity to drop to near zero after login, then restoring the backup and reloading the configuration. It takes a short while before the desktop sorts itself, but entirely fixes the problem. My job then watches the configuration file to see if it's subsequently updated, requiring a new backup. All the talk of multiple monitors and so on is a separate issue unrelated to the bug itself. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1335492 Title: [4.11.8] Desktop icons rearrange on each login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfdesktop/+bug/1335492/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1335492] Re: [4.11.8] Desktop icons rearrange on each login
The cause was identified long ago https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfdesktop4/+bug/1335492/comments/41 but still no one has applied a fix. I have two scripts. One of which saves the files on logout and another which I run at login that waits 10 seconds, then restores the file and resets the desktop. That totally solves it. Without my script, many of the icons reset and the others remain because xfdesktop doesn't wait for the whole config file to be read before continuing. The reset icons reassert their new position in the files. It's a major annoyance to not be fixed for so long. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1335492 Title: [4.11.8] Desktop icons rearrange on each login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfdesktop/+bug/1335492/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 245716] Re: file-roller puts temporary files in the home dir instead of /tmp
The problem is not entirely that files are not created in /tmp, but rather that nothing cleans them up in the event of a crashed or killed process. I also see these files in the current directory as well as tmp and .cache As these directories are prefixed with a dot, less technical users will probably not see them as the default in the file manager is to hide them. I found over 2.5GB of these files on my system, which means they are also taking up backup space and resources, too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/245716 Title: file-roller puts temporary files in the home dir instead of /tmp To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/file-roller/+bug/245716/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1335492] Re: [4.11.8] Desktop icons rearrange on each login
Seems to me that simply calling whatever function loads the icon positions after the rest xfdesktop has finished starting up would solve most of this. To prevent the position file being corrupted while starting (as it currently does) the file *should only be written out when the user expressly places an icon* and only save the position of icon that have been expressly placed. This would have the added benefit of any other icons tidying themselves up into the auto-arrange corner as others were moved away. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1335492 Title: [4.11.8] Desktop icons rearrange on each login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfdesktop/+bug/1335492/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1571160] Re: autotrash ignores hidden files
Still present in Xubuntu 16.04
I'm not greatly experienced with Python and globbing, but this seems to
fix it by making two passes; firstly for files without the dot prefix
and secondly with the prefix...
--Replace--
for file_name in glob.iglob(os.path.join(trash_info_path, '*.trashinfo')):
...
files.append(file_info)
--With--
for trash_base in ('*.trashinfo', '.*.trashinfo'):
for file_name in glob.iglob(os.path.join(trash_info_path, trash_base)):
...
files.append(file_info)
I've tested this as far as I can, but it would be good for someone more
proficient in Python to have a look and verify it.
