[Bug 665546] Re: Drop and sub menus don't always show up
I had this problem for years, even on LMDE / Debian installs. I had forgotten about this bug report but now realize that since I switched from Gnome to xfce the problem has gone away. I now use xubuntu and add compiz/emerald to it. This makes sense since as I said back in 2011 I'm fairly certain this is an issue related to timing and menu caching which would be specific to gnome. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/665546 Title: Drop and sub menus don't always show up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/665546/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can confirm that 11.04 is not fixed. Vterm workaround no longer works. Problem occurs with both the new and classic login modes. I can't even figure out how to make my computer usable since everything has been changed around.

[Bug 665546] Re: Drop and sub menus don't always show up
Sorry for the string of comments but I've got one more piece of information. As Roger posted above setting visual effects to none appears to solve the problem. However that is not the end of it. Using the Edit menus approach in my previous post I visited some but not all of the menus while visual effects were disabled. They all popped up immediately. Then I changed visual effects back to 'extra' and immediately went through the Applications menu. All of the menus I 'touched' while effects were off came up on the first visit while none of the ones I did not 'touch' did. So this tells me that the root cause of the odd behavior exists irregardless of which visual effect mode is being used. It is just that without effects it does not manifest itself. I feel this reinforces my theory that we are violating timing somewhere due to a stack up of delays with cache hits/misses likely causing the timing variation. Using visual effects uses up enough of the timing margin to push cache misses into causing problems. Sadly I'm not familiar with how the mouse movement drives menu display through all of the library layers so I have no idea where to look in source code to continue further. I'll have to leave that to the devs and hope that these observations prove fruitful. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/665546 Title: Drop and sub menus don't always show up -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 665546] Re: Drop and sub menus don't always show up
Adding to my previous comment. What I described above was after a new login. Also in every case when hovering over the menu selection and sliding right the popup does eventually display when the mouse goes off the right of the menu. Having run through all the menus and repeatedly verifying that they all popped up on the first visit I did the following: Right click Applications, select edit menus and then select close without doing anything. That seems to have flushed some but not all popup menus and the ones that don't come up on the first try are not always the same. This makes me think that we are definitely dealing with something related to the creation of the menu display taking too long for the menu to be generated. It could be from the lookup of the menu definition on disk, finding the icon files, doing the drawing of the menus etc. My best guess is that it is either a timeout on the lookup/display or something related to mouse hover timing that creates a sort of race condition that cause the menu to not display. I don't know enough about how the displays are generated to know whether this lies on the Gnome side or Compiz or X11, but given that just bringing up the edit applications dialog regenerates the problem I'd track down the problem by looking in Gnome first -- what does opening that dialog do -- and trace it from there into X11, GTK, Compiz, or wherever. I'm using a fairly high end system -- AMD quad core, 8GB ram, SSD, I wonder if this problem is more pronounced on a system with far fewer resources. That could be another clue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/665546 Title: Drop and sub menus don't always show up -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 665546] Re: Drop and sub menus don't always show up
Disabling animations in Compiz does not fix this. I think we are getting false solutions because it is easy to be fooled into thinking that the problem is fixed because of the behavior of the problem. I'm pretty sure that the problem is masked due to some sort of caching of the popup menus (disk access, graphic, who knows?). It may appear random simply because of flushing of whatever is being cached. I've got wine installed which has lots and lots of sub menus under the applications menu. Clicking on Applications and then hovering the mouse into the deep wine sub menus I was able to determine that the first time I hovered over a popup it never appeared. If I moved away from that menu and then came back it always appeared on the second try. Exiting out of the applications menu and starting over shows that previously visited popup menus showed on the first visit but any previously unvisited popup does not appear until the second visit. However that being said I rarely logout and I'm fairly certain that this problem reappears from time to time on some menus (making it appear random -- I thought it was until today). So that is why I'm pretty sure that something is being cached and flushed.

[Bug 325973] Re: gnome-session keeps respawning nautilus when no desktop is drawed
Perhaps it is too late to matter since it looks like disabling autorestart just got merged in but... It seems to me that I was just now able to fix the problem by unchecking *both* show_desktop and exit_with_last_window in configuration editor (apps>nautilus>preferences). I have my 3D cube working, no spinner, and no nautilus windows open. Looking at my processes I see that I have a nicely cooperating nautilus process with an insignificant amount of CPU usage. The autorestart patch has not yet made it to my computer and I can still switch back and forth between proper behaviour and having the spinner and CPU hogging auto-restarts. So an alternative fix would be to alter configuration editor to either suggest or automatically uncheck exit_with_last_window if show_desktop is unchecked. Another approach would be to check and correct the settings in a startup script. -- gnome-session keeps respawning nautilus when no desktop is drawed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/325973 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 272474] Re: jockey silently fails to enable nvidia driver
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 288662 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288662 I think we have two different bugs discussed here. The original problem of immediate silent failure occurs on a stock intrepid desktop CD with an nVidia quadro board with a recommended nvidia-177 driver (nothing to do with the legacy driver issue from bug 288662). After using update manager to do a check for updates (but not installing any of them) jockey-gtk -e xorg:nvidia-177 runs for about 10 seconds then returns the following dbus error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/jockey-gtk", line 377, in sys.exit(u.run()) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/jockey/ui.py", line 395, in run self.argv_options.confirm, False): File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/jockey/ui.py", line 594, in set_handler_enable polkit_auth_wrapper(self.backend().set_enabled, handler_id, enable) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/jockey/backend.py", line 104, in polkit_auth_wrapper return fn(*args, **kwargs) File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/dbus/proxies.py", line 140, in __call__ **keywords) File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/dbus/connection.py", line 607, in call_blocking message, timeout) dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply.
