[Bug 963731] Re: System Settings - Not obvious which settings in "Displays" panel are display-specific
Currently, selecting System Settings -> Displays on systems with multiple monitors and the NVidia drivers produces an error dialog that says "RANDR extension is not present" - as a result, at least one of my users is unable even to access the sticky edge setting (they worked around it via CCSM, but that's not a path to resolution that I'd want to generally encourage). Between this being NVidia specific and the addition of XRandR support to 304 drivers and later, I'm not filing a bug for that, but just as Chris Schmidt suggested earlier, I first looked for the setting under Appearance > Behavior. I can understand the the reasoning for locating the options in one place or another, but I do find it bothersome that an error related to the display specifically should prevent access to other settings that aren't actually dependent on a display-level feature. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/963731 Title: System Settings - Not obvious which settings in "Displays" panel are display-specific To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/963731/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1008344] Re: [Precise] Language selector won't allow me to install languages
PolicyKit's checks are mooted by line 145 of /usr/lib/python2.7/dist- packages/LanguageSelector/gtk/GtkLanguageSelector.py, which reads simply: 145 self.is_admin = (os.getuid() == 0 or in_grp_sudo or in_grp_admin) Later, on line 192: 192 if self.is_admin: 193 self.setupInstallerTreeView() 194 self.updateLanguageView() Thus the buttons are clickable iff the user launching the utility is in the sudo or admin groups. A quick edit of line 145 to simply read 145 self.is_admin = True #(os.getuid() == 0 or in_grp_sudo or in_grp_admin) ...immediately makes the buttons accessible and semi-functional: I can e.g. select Install / Remove Languages, then click Japanese, then click Apply Changes, and things proceed normally - I get a PolicyKit prompt, give it my password, and get my Japanese support. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1008344 Title: [Precise] Language selector won't allow me to install languages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-selector/+bug/1008344/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
