[Bug 403303] Re: power manager reports 1% battery even though it is full on Asus Eee PC netbook

2014-01-02 Thread Rob Smith
I have owned both an Eee PC 701 (4GB) and the later Eee PC 900 16. I
have run Ubuntu, in various formats (Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, etc) from
8.04 to 10.04, and the problem persists in each version and on both
machines. It has been explained that this is an Asus based problem,
either with BIOS or something else.

So, my question is this...

My Eee PC 701 came from the factory loaded with Xandros Linux, and my
Eee PC 900 16 came loaded with Microsoft Windows XP. Neither of these
two systems, one being Linux-based, had this problem.

Why can't Debian/Ubuntu see the battery correctly, but Xandros Linux
(and Windows XP) can?

Re: [Bug 220443] Re: Window decoration disappears with firefox

2009-01-10 Thread Rob Smith
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 99740 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99740

That's funny, because when it happened to me, it thereafter affected
every window that I opened, Firefox or not! If I were to open Nautilus
or Gedit, I would see the same thing, no title bar. Changing the setting
in Compiz, not Firefox, corrected the problem for me. I'm not saying
that Firefox definitely didn't cause the issue, but rather that I would
not discount the possibility of a cause outside of Firefox.

This also suggests it is indeed a firefox bug and NOT a compiz bug...

Re: [Bug 99740] Re: Firefox problems with desktop-effects

2009-01-02 Thread Rob Smith
Maxadamo,

Workarounds are just that, workarounds. They are not fixes, but rather a
temporary way to get something to stop happening. In my case, one of
those workarounds helped. I'm sorry that they didn't work for you.

That all said, please try to remember that the folks here trying to
assist us are volunteers. They don't get paid for their time; they are
doing us a favor, so please do keep nasty comments to yourself! They are
doing what they can, the best they can. They are not God almighty. Cut
'em some slack!

Taipan, I for one appreciate your attempts to help, and I am sure that
there are many more like myself, probably far more of us than the
Maxadamo's.

I'm sorry to take up the bandwidth on this forum, I realize that it is
not a message board, but I just could not let the comment pass without
an answer from us who appreciate all the volunteer effort.

Thank you!

Same happens here on Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 with:
Compiz + Gnome + FF 3.0.5 with or without Emerald.

I suspect all workaround are somehow crappy, as they have side effects.
On of these workaround will not allow to properly see flash movies
(maybe in full screen), other workaround don't work at all, other that I
found in Internet looks more like wizardry and make no sens at all.

Taipan: I would suggest to suspend your account here. The reason would
be: demonstrated and full-blown idiocy. What do you think about?

[Bug 99740] Re: Firefox problems with desktop-effects

2008-11-26 Thread Rob Smith
I am running Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) Desktop and Firefox 3.0.4 on a
Compaq Evo N600c laptop. My screen resolution is at the default 1024x768
for this machine. I am using Compiz in default configuration. I have not
changed either my screen resolution or de-maximized the Firefox window,
yet this problem occurs. Firefox will change its window so that the
title bar disappears along with both of Ubuntu's panels. When this
happens, I cannot minimize Firefox, I can only close it or quit. I can
Alt-Tab to access another application in the live window. Following
advice I found in another forum, I selected F11 to toggle from full
screen mode and back. This resolved the problem temporarily, but it does
come back. This behavior only seems to occur with Firefox. If I use
Opera, or if I am using another application, I do not seem to experience
the problem. I am using Compiz in default configuration.

Although the F11 trick works, it is but a workaround and not really a
fix.

2008-11-26 Thread Rob Smith
Taipan,

Thank you. As it turns out, I already had ccsm installed and followed
your instructions to uncheck legacy fullscreen support.

It is strange that this never happened until a couple days ago. I had
originally installed Hardy Heron on this machine back in the early part
of September (replacing Etch), and didn't have any problems until now. I
upgraded to Intrepid through apt-get the day it was released.

Anyway, thanks again for the tip.

Rob Smith -

Please read the actual workaround which will stop this permanently I
have copied it from the bug description for your convenience... and
modified it slightly to be easier to follow

**Workaround :
Step 1 - Install compizconfig-settings-manager (sudo apt-get install
compizconfig-settings-manager)
Step 2 - Start ccsm (either from the commandline or by pushing Alt+F2 and
typing ccsm)
Step 3 - Click on Workarounds plugin in the Utility
section 
Step 4 - Uncheck Legacy Fullscreen Support.
