[Bug 64562] Re: 80% cpu used apt-index-watch

2006-10-08 Thread Jared Biel
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 64531 ***

I have the same problem. It causes a rather annoying spike every few
seconds in my CPU usage graph (I use the ksysguard taskbar tool). It
seems that one of the apt-index-watch processes runs normally and
another one launches and dies every few seconds.

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

2009-08-06 Thread Jared Biel
I appologize for not reading this entire bug report because I feel
vehement about posting my opinion on the plugin. I realize that some of
my concerns may have been addressed already. I am merely posting them as
another "vote" for how bad of an idea this plugin is.

Please obliterate this plugin. It's nothing short of infuriating and it
should not see the light of day in Karmic final. Here's what is wrong
with this plugin:

1. It makes it practically impossible to get any work done using the
search box. If I type "rack server" into the search box my beloved
additional search options aren't there. No more links to take me to the
images or shopping sections of Google.

2. There are two options at the top of the page after performing a
custom search - "Ubuntu Start Page (b)" and "Web Search". Now, one would
think that selecting "Web Search" and clicking the search button would
take me to the Google I know and love. Nope - it takes me to a page
that's almost identical to the "Ubuntu Start Page (b)"!

3. I hate the new tab behavior. If I'm creating a new tab to search for
something I will do Ctrl-T then Ctrl-K. I don't need a gimpy version of
Google to be loaded every time I create a new tab. I'm a Google person
myself, but I could see how that would offend someone who uses Yahoo,
etc as their search engine.

4. It's not immediately obvious on how to disable the behavior. I
thought it was perhaps a customization done to the search toolbar and
tried digging around to find the search engine settings.

If you don't kill this plugin with fire, please, please, please don't
include it by default. I can't imagine there are many people that
expect/desire the behavior offered by this plugin.

I appologize for the angry rant tone, but I feel very strongly about
this and I believe it will turn a lot of people off of Ubuntu. It
frustrated the heck out of me and I've been using Linux since 1999. Get
off my lawn!

Note: I am NOT currently using Firefox 3.5. This plugin came enabled by
default when I installed Karmic daily about a month ago with the
included version of Firefox (3.0.X).

[Bug 160311] Re: Window Resize Difficult (Window Border Thickness)

2009-05-29 Thread Jared Biel
I'm here to add my concern for this bug. I'm currently using a jaunty
netbook with a 1024x600 resolution and resizing windows "naturally"
(using my cursor on a window edge) is almost always an absolute chore if
not impossible. On my 1920x1200 desktop computer it's not quite as
difficult with my trackball but it's more difficult than it should be.

Now, I don't know if a patch that allows for border resizing is the
right step. Making the borders larger takes away from screen real
estate. Would it be possible to keep the borders at 1px while extending
the [invisible] "resize threshold" out 5 or 10 pixels on each side of
the border?

I haven't used KDE since they released version 4 [ick] but I don't
remember having any issues resizing windows with version 3.X - maybe the
gnome project can borrow their window resize code?

difficult with my trackball but it's more difficult than it should be.

Now, I don't know if a patch that allows for border resizing is the
right step. Making the borders larger takes away from screen real
estate. Would it be possible to keep the borders at 1px while extending
the [invisible] "resize threshold" out 5 or 10 pixels on each side of
the border?

I haven't used KDE since they released version 4 [ick] but I don't
remember having any issues resizing windows with version 3.X - maybe the
gnome project can borrow their window resize code?

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

2009-08-06 Thread Jared Biel
I appologize for not reading this entire bug report because I feel
vehement about posting my opinion on the plugin. I realize that some of
my concerns may have been addressed already. I am merely posting them as
another "vote" for how bad of an idea this plugin is.

Please obliterate this plugin. It's nothing short of infuriating and it
should not see the light of day in Karmic final. Here's what is wrong
with this plugin:

1. It makes it practically impossible to get any work done using the
search box. If I type "rack server" into the search box my beloved
additional search options aren't there. No more links to take me to the
images or shopping sections of Google.

2. There are two options at the top of the page after performing a
custom search - "Ubuntu Start Page (b)" and "Web Search". Now, one would
think that selecting "Web Search" and clicking the search button would
take me to the Google I know and love. Nope - it takes me to a page
that's almost identical to the "Ubuntu Start Page (b)"!

3. I hate the new tab behavior. If I'm creating a new tab to search for
something I will do Ctrl-T then Ctrl-K. I don't need a gimpy version of
Google to be loaded every time I create a new tab. I'm a Google person
myself, but I could see how that would offend someone who uses Yahoo,
etc as their search engine.

4. It's not immediately obvious on how to disable the behavior. I
thought it was perhaps a customization done to the search toolbar and
tried digging around to find the search engine settings.

If you don't kill this plugin with fire, please, please, please don't
include it by default. I can't imagine there are many people that
expect/desire the behavior offered by this plugin.

I appologize for the angry rant tone, but I feel very strongly about
this and I believe it will turn a lot of people off of Ubuntu. It
frustrated the heck out of me and I've been using Linux since 1999. Get
off my lawn!

Note: I am NOT currently using Firefox 3.5. This plugin came enabled by
default when I installed Karmic daily about a month ago with the
included version of Firefox (3.0.X).
