[Bug 199222] Re: Evolution calendar invites showing wrong start/end times
Just as a side note, Apple's new MobileMe Calendar replaces the .Mac published one, and gives the opportunity to switch on timezone support and set the user's timezone to whatever is appropriate. This works around the issue for that particular system, but the underlying problem with the meeting invites Evolution creates remains. -- Evolution calendar invites showing wrong start/end times https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199222 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 199222] Re: Evolution calendar invites showing wrong start/end times
I think I am seeing the same problem and I'm pretty sure I know the cause. When meeting invites are created in Evolution in the timezone Europe/London, the timezone is always set as /softwarestudio.org/Tzfile/Europe/London which is not a valid timezone. It should be just Europe/London. Furthermore, this erroneous information confuses other calendar systems (e.g. Lightning/Sunbird, iCal on OS X, MS Outlook) when they accept meeting invites from Evolution. In the example of iCal on OS X, the calendar compensates for the bad timezone by ignoring it and assuming the timezone that is set in OS X (on my Mac, this is Europe/London, same as my Ubuntu laptop). However, if you receive meeting invites from someone in a different timezone, they appear incorrectly and if you publish that calendar to the .Mac servers in California (for public viewing), all the Evolution-generated meetings revert to the timezone relevant there. In Lightning, meeting invites imported from Ubuntu seem to default to GMT (whereas Europe/London is in DST right now), even though both Evolution and Lightning are set to Europe/London on my machine. I'm not sure why that extra information has to be part of the timezone (who are softwarestudio.org anyway?), so this should be easy to fix. Just make sure the TZID only contains the timezone information - i.e. take out the /softwarestudio.org/Tzfile/ part. Here is an example meeting invite I just created (look at how the timezone is defined in TZID, DTSTART DTEND): BEGIN:VCALENDAR CALSCALE:GREGORIAN PRODID:-//Ximian//NONSGML Evolution Calendar//EN VERSION:2.0 METHOD:REQUEST BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:/softwarestudio.org/Tzfile/Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:STANDARD TZNAME:GMT DTSTART:19701026T01 RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=-2SU;BYMONTH=10 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+ END:STANDARD BEGIN:DAYLIGHT TZNAME:BST DTSTART:19700329T02 RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=-1SU;BYMONTH=3 TZOFFSETFROM:+ TZOFFSETTO:+0100 END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE BEGIN:VEVENT UID:[EMAIL PROTECTED] DTSTAMP:20080522T075759Z DTSTART;TZID=/softwarestudio.org/Tzfile/Europe/London:20080522T10 DTEND;TZID=/softwarestudio.org/Tzfile/Europe/London:20080522T113000 TRANSP:OPAQUE SEQUENCE:3 SUMMARY:Test LOCATION:Somewhere CLASS:PUBLIC ORGANIZER;CN=John Doe:MAILTO:[EMAIL PROTECTED] CREATED:20080522T075709 LAST-MODIFIED:20080522T075709 DESCRIPTION:testing ATTENDEE;CUTYPE=INDIVIDUAL;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED; RSVP=TRUE;CN=John Doe;LANGUAGE=en:MAILTO:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ATTENDEE;CUTYPE=INDIVIDUAL;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=NEEDS-ACTION; RSVP=TRUE;LANGUAGE=en:MAILTO:[EMAIL PROTECTED] END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR ** Changed in: evolution-exchange (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid = New -- Evolution calendar invites showing wrong start/end times https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199222 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share
@LimCore To be honest, it's not the bugs in Ubuntu that prevent it from gaining market share, it's the archaic design that requires users to be computer geeks. For example, I want to be able to have Pidgin instant messenger launch at login. Can I select this in the preferences? No. Can I drag the Pidgin launcher from the menu into the Sessions 'Additional Startup Items'? Unfortunately not. If I choose Add Startup Program, can I select from a nice list of applications? I can't even do that. Whart I have to do is click on Add (in the Sessions/Additional Startup Items pane) whereupon I'm present with the opportunity to browse (note, I'm not able to search) the filesystem for the binary file that launches Pidgin. And by default, it dumps me in my home directory as a place to start looking. This is crap. Of course, you could run 'locate pidgin' in a terminal... or you could look at the launcher settings for Pidgin in Preferences-Main Menu... but how is anyone other than a Linux geeks supposed to know that? -- Microsoft has a majority market share https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share
Why? People are happy to pay for the complete bundle including Windows. If people weren't happy to pay extra for commercial software, they would complain. The only people I hear complaining are Linux geeks. The average user thinks Windows is freeware. They are totally unaware that the cost of their computer includes the cost of Windows. If you don't believe me, search the Internet, and talk to an average computer user. Exactly - ignorance is bliss... and ignorant people tend not to appreciate geeks coming along and spoiling their blissful existences. Nor do they appreciate elitist snobs telling them what they should or shouldn't be doing.

[Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share
What should happen: 1. A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software like Ubuntu. Why? People are happy to pay for the complete bundle including Windows. If people weren't happy to pay extra for commercial software, they would complain. The only people I hear complaining are Linux geeks. 2. Ubuntu should be marketed in a way such that its amazing features and benefits would be apparent and known by all. So, who's going to fund that? And what are these amazing benefits and features anyway? Myself and my 5 colleagues have been using Ubuntu for 3 months now for Java Development and every single morning we each waste between 10 and 30 minutes trying to get the damn thing connected to our WPA2-protected wireless network instead of the unsecured wireless network on the floor below that belongs to a different company which Ubuntu seems to connect to by default. What's the benefit of automatically connecting to the first unsecured wireless network you find? I see that as a major security flaw and, in the UK where it is a criminal offence to connect to a wireless network without prior permission (see articles on BBC News website about this), it lays Ubuntu users wide open to allegations of stealing network access. So Ubuntu fails before I've even managed to get any work done. And why does everything run so slowly? Firefox takes nearly a full minute to load on a laptop with an Intel 1.66GHz Core Duo and 2GB RAM. 3. The system shall become more and more user friendly as time passes. Quite. But at the moment, this is still an operating system for Unix nerds. I've used Windows, Linux, Solaris and OS X as desktop operating systems and I don't really see any as being significantly better or more secure than any other. So far, Windows and OS X come way out top for usability and interoperability while Linux trails far behind with Solaris. -- Microsoft has a majority market share https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 151869] nm-applet connects to unsecured networks by default
Public bug reported: When I first boot up Ubuntu (on an Acer Aspire 5630 laptop), it always connects immediately to the first unsecured wireless network it can find. In my case, this means I connect to the unsecured wireless network of another company in the same building as me, that they provide for their own visitors. I have no permission to use this network. In the United Kingdom, It is illegal to connect to a wireless network without the express permission of the owner with the intent of using it to obtain an Internet connection (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/6960304.stm). The current behaviour of the Network Manager applet is putting users at risk of being accused of commiting a criminal offence under the Communications Act 2003 and/or the Computer Misuse Act 1990. In such a circumstance, the onus would then be on the user to show that they did not intend to steal the service from the other party. Network Manager should have the facility to remember the last network you were connected to and use that instead of simply taking the easiest route. ** Affects: network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Visibility changed to: Public ** This bug is no longer flagged as a security issue -- nm-applet connects to unsecured networks by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151869 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 151872] nm-applet does not list router when I change the broadcast channel
Public bug reported: When I set my wireless router (Linksys WRT54G) to channel 1, it shows up in the drop-down list of available networks. However, many other companies in the same building as me have their routers set to channel 1, so I prefer to run my router on another channel (e.g. channel 7) to minimise interference. When I change the broadcast channel my router's SSID no longer shows up in the available list of networks. If I choose connect to other wireless network and enter in all the appropriate settings, I can connect to my router, it then shows up in the available networks list with a signal strength of 88%. If I reboot my laptop, however, I have to go through the above procedure again... unless I switch the router back to channel 1, in which case it suddenly shows up in the list of available networks again. ** Affects: network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- nm-applet does not list router when I change the broadcast channel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151872 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 151876] nm-applet disabling wireless roaming only allows connection with WEP keys
Public bug reported: Since roaming mode frequently decides to connect me to wireless networks that I do not have permission to access, and my router doesn't show up in the available network list (unless I set it to channel 1, which then puts it in contention with about 12 other wireless routers), I have tried to disable roaming altogether so I can connect only to the network I want to connect to. However, I cannot do this as the only security option available is WEP key, and I need to be able to connect to my wireless router using a WPA2 key. Yet, if I choose Connect to other wireless network, I can choose from WEP, WPA and WPA2.
