[Bug 1335492] Re: [4.11.8] Desktop icons rearrange on each login

2022-03-12 Thread Colin Hemming
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.

[Bug 1763111] Re: autokey starting maximized (not in system tray)

2021-09-06 Thread Colin Hemming
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!

[Bug 1875498] Re: smart-notifier installs, but has missing requirments

2020-06-09 Thread Colin Hemming
@Gunnar

Is the report better now, or still need fixing? I read the link you sent
me, but while it may be very technical, it's far from clear to a user at
my level. This is the first bug I've reported from scratch, so I'm happy
to learn, just ignorant! :)

Sorry for the delay in response, my ISP managed to corrupt my e-mail
configuration and that took many days to resolve.

  installs, the file to which it links:

[Bug 1879136] [NEW] Can't save preferences when remote machines unavailable

2020-05-17 Thread Colin Hemming
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.

[Bug 257135] Re: notify-send(1) can't replace an existing notification

2019-10-02 Thread Colin Hemming
I would find this incredibly helpful, but would also love to be able to
also dismiss something by ID. That way a "Processing..." notification
could be displayed indefinitely, then removed when the process behind
completed.

As someone seems to have already patched this it would be fantastic to
see it deployed in the official repositories, rather than having to muck
about compiling my own version!

[Bug 1335492] Re: [4.11.8] Desktop icons rearrange on each login

2019-05-01 Thread Colin Hemming
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.

[Bug 1335492] Re: [4.11.8] Desktop icons rearrange on each login

2018-08-31 Thread Colin Hemming
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.

I have the exact same problem. I know the hardware device still works
fine because booting into my 16.04 system with the older software still
displays and records perfectly.

[Bug 1571160] Re: autotrash ignores hidden files

2017-10-30 Thread Colin Hemming
I have recently installed a Manjaro machine and installed this from
source as it's not in the Manjaro repositories. The code for autotrash
has been changed and improved. As a result, this bug is no longer an
issue with the latest version. To fix and improve this, the source just
needs to be brought up to date in the PPA for Xubuntu!

[Bug 245716] Re: file-roller puts temporary files in the home dir instead of /tmp

2017-09-09 Thread Colin Hemming
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.

[Bug 1335492] Re: [4.11.8] Desktop icons rearrange on each login

2017-05-17 Thread Colin Hemming
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.

[Bug 1571160] Re: autotrash ignores hidden files

2017-04-07 Thread Colin Hemming
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.
