[Bug 765390] Re: (Regression) indicator-weather is not seeded; cannot be right-click added under Unity

2011-05-12 Thread andy16666
I'd like to withdraw my endorsement of indicator-weather. It's not a
stable piece of software, and routinely freezes up or fails to update.
(It's useless) It's certainly not ready to replace the existing gnome 2
version.

I'm also surprised that there is no notification area anymore, so I
can't access my dropbox or google desktop applications from Unity.

2011-05-10 Thread andy16666
While I understand where you're coming from, I don't think that excuses
how terrible and unusable Unity is. Its design is simply not appropriate
or functional. And it take virtually nothing away from the years of
testing and refinement that went into the Gnome 2 interface.

2011-05-10 Thread andy16666
Exactly. What I wish they would do, is to treat the Unity thing as an
opt-in deal, and find some way to figure out how many people actually
prefer the new UI over the old one. If, after a year, more people opt in
than out, then call it a success and make it the default UI. I'd bet a
dollar that far less than half would opt for the new UI.

In fact, I'll bet they already know this and that it's exactly why they
have to force it on people to get anyone to actually give it a chance.
:-P

"You know you can go back to Gnome 2."

Yes, I know. My wife has already opted to do so. She tried Unity for
about 2 days, thought it was some kind of sick joke and requested that I
"fix" her computer.

I'm a ten year Linux veteran and I figured we were finally getting
somewhere with this Linux on the desktop thing. Often when a piece of
software is this badly designed, you just throw it away and start over.
Treat it as a learning experience. In this case I think there are some
good ideas floating around. :) They're just in the wrong place, behave
the wrong way, and provide the wrong functionality. :-P And if I can
stay and help "fix" unity, I'm just stubborn enough that I will.

It seems that this issue went away after I disconnected a particular USB

appears to have been the cause.

** Description changed:

  Hopefully the apport contains enough specific information about my
  system. Ever since Ubuntu 10.10 moved on from release 25 of the 2.6.35
  kernel, it's taken several hard resets to get my system to complete an

  Following the debug output was not particularly revealing. On several
  occasions I took note of the last message printed by the kernel after a

  Once the system boots it's perfectly stable with all hardware working
  properly. But by my count it will only complete the kernel
  initialisation less than 1/6 of the time. As someone who's done a little
  bit of system programming on multicore systems, this looks very much to
  me like a race condition, where a lock isn't being set where/when it
  should be. Since I'm booting from an SSD, something might be getting
  loaded sooner than it normally would be. At the moment I'm running 11.04
  2.6.38-8-generic and can reproduce this bug easily, if anyone has any
  ideas how I might go about providing the information necessary to debug
  it and find the cause.
  
  As I don't reboot often and prefer to use standby, I'm able to continue
  using ubuntu despite how difficult it is to achieve a successful boot-
  up. Since upgrading to 11.04 I no longer have access to 2.6.35-25, so if
  someone could give me a hint as to how to revert to that kernel version,
  I'd very much appreciate it as well.
  
  In case it matters, the release after 2.5.35-25 was also the release
  where bug #642421 went away.

[Bug 765390] Re: Weather functionality missing from Unity (Regression)

2011-04-24 Thread andy16666
As a programmer with an MCS, I often feel like an idiot making a
usability suggestion like this one. I mean it's not as if I can't figure
out how to get weather on my computer. I'm making this suggestion
because most of the people I know are not MCS graduates and have found
the transition to Unity jarring for this and other reasons. I'm just
trying to make a suggestion about something that a lot of people use
(including myself), and are finding difficult to locate within the Unity
interface.

If you guys are satisfied that it's easy enough for people to find,
great. But I'm just saying that this hasn't been my experience. Wherever
it moved, whatever replaced it, and however you access it now, it's not
where people expect to find it. Maybe that's not an issue that anyone
wants to tackle, but I just want to make sure I'm clear on what issue
I'm reporting, and that I'm not looking for technical support.

Although I appreciate you pointing out that indicator-weather can be

2011-04-24 Thread andy16666
This point of this bug was to make weather easily available to users
without having to add the PPA repository and install an unstable applet.
I could change it to a wish list item, if that would sit better with
people.

The point is to get weather functionality as easily accessible as it
once was. I'm not personally concerned with the implementation details.
I don't think it's really an opinion though, as much as a wish list.

[Bug 765390] [NEW] Weather functionality missing from Unity (Regression)

2011-04-18 Thread andy16666
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: unity

Gnome 2 contained a feature which allowed it to show the local weather
conditions next to the clock. I personally find this feature extremely
useful and I check it nearly every time I leave the house or my office
at work. Arguably it's more to me than the date and time display since I
wear a watch. This feature appears to be missing in Unity.

Considering its usefulness, and the fact that Unity lacks the ability to
add an alternate panel applet to replace it, this feature probably
should be added to Unity.

[Bug 648180] Re: Unity sucks

2011-04-18 Thread andy16666
There really needs to be a way to just pull out the old application
menu. Maybe the new cartoonish search box and huge icons could be gotten
used to, but if there was an obvious way to just browse applications the
same way we used to, it would be a heck of a lot less jarring for those
of us who just want to use the darn thing. Having to click a random icon
and then click a category just doesn't cut it. The pull down categorized
menu is a time tested and fairly efficient way to browse applications,
and I see no good reason to not include it in the unity menu as a fall
back. Not to mention the face that everybody is used to it. :-P

Moreover, human beings get used to a certain pattern when they're trying
to do something, like finding a system setting for example. The system
menu, from my perspective, was one of those things that Ubuntu/Gnome
always got right. When I think setting, I think of the system menu. Now
that's all gone. I have absolutely no idea where to look for those
things. I just have to seriously question how much forethought could has
possibly gone into this project to simply dump such a useful feature and
to not provide anything even resembling it within that huge unity menu.
It's just not good UI design to spend years getting people used to one
way of working, and then not even bother to take account of those usage
patterns when designing the new UI. I hate to bring up MS again, but it
took me all of 2 seconds to find the traditional programs menu after
they brought out the new start menu in Vista/7. Or the control panel.
That's called *forethought*. And to successfully design UIs, you simply
can't ignore your clientel's usage patters which you have put so much
time and effort into fostering. That's just bad design, bad business,
and...wellbad!

I too have missed the minimize all button, but at least Ubuntu has
finally started to incorporate the windows shortcut keys that everyone
is familiar with. I also have to say that I really miss middle click
pasting without having to copy text. To me that was always one of those
little things that made Linux worth using over windows, and it will be
sincerely missed.

Changing it to "Digital Stereo (HDMI) nr 4 Output" seems to work. I'm
getting sound from the monitor now. Thanks!

I noticed those other channels yesterday, but after clicking "Test
Speakers" (crashing Sound Preferences) they disappeared the next time I
opened Sound Preferences. I guess that's a separate issue.

[Bug 648180] Re: Unity sucks

2011-04-15 Thread andy16666
I can wholeheartedly confirm this issue in 11.04. It's not that it's
totally broken or anything. It's just that it's a design disaster. Even
a simple thing like browsing with the mouse to the program I want is
virtually impossible to figure out, and ends up taking a half dozen
clicks.

The side bar is clunky and I absolutely hate the fact that I have to
scroll along it, even with only a hand full of custom launchers. This UI
may look nice but as a human I can honestly say that it's the worst
desktop UI I've seen in a very long time. I will try to stick it out and
get used to it, but chances are I'll be opting out for the classic Gnome
UI within a week, and contemplating a move to another distro shortly
after.

I realise that the Ubuntu team puts a lot of time and effort into
improving the UI and I don't mean to be critical. But this new Unity
thing just doesn't seem to work for me at any level, and I've been using
Linux as a primary desktop for over 10 years. I'm an IT professional
with two degrees in computer science. In that time I've seen some pretty
terrible UIs, but until now, nothing that feels like it's intentionally
designed to be a barrier between me and accessing and using the programs
on my computer.

I really hope this either gets a major overhaul or gets chucked on the
scrap heap. Because I love Ubuntu but I'm just not sure how long I can
put up with it. While I'm not a fan of Windows, I think they at least
understand that when making a major change like this, that you have to
make absolutely sure that you're not getting in the user's way. I
realise you don't have the kind of testing team it takes to determine
this, so here it is: this interface gets in the user's way! It's a total
fail. And it needs to be dropped until such a time as it doesn't get in
the user's way.

2011-03-17 Thread andy16666
Exactly. But you shouldn't have gone to this broken boot-up software in
the first place before you had the bugs out of it. When it doesn't work
on essentially all high end graphics hardware and a good portion of low
end hardware, it doesn't work. I'm sick of Ubuntu repeated replacing
working software with broken software because some corporate egg head
thinks it's the way forward.

I can understand why they do it, but I can still make it crystal clear
to you why it was the wrong choice to move to Plymouth. Maybe there are
some back-end benefits to it. But seeing as it is an extremely visible
part of the user experience that everybody sees, I really think Ubuntu
shot itself in the foot by replacing the beautiful boot up sequence of
9.10 with this broken piece of , only to fix it *after* the LTS
release. I think this bug speaks of everything that's wrong with Linux
on the desktop, which can easily be summarized briefly as a
prioritization of some developer's idea of inner beauty over the
*actual* user experience. Nobody cares if Plymouth is a couple seconds
faster or easier for developers to work with if it looks like . And
the fact that LTS users have to live with this horrible decision it is
just plain disturbing.

[Bug 696539] [NEW] No sound after reboot from NVidia GeForce GT 430 HDMI audio

2011-01-02 Thread andy16666
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pulseaudio

I have an NVidia Geforce GT 430 graphics card with HDMI output. The HDMI
audio works fine in Window 7, so I know all the hardware is OK. After
booting into Ubuntu 10.10 (with updates applied) and selecting HDA
NVidia in sound preferences, I get no sound from any program. aplay -l
lists 4 devices for card 1: 3, 7, 8, 9.

I can get sound by running "aplay -D plughw:1,9
/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Left.wav" but never the first time. To get
this command to produce sound I first have to run "aplay -D plughw:1,8
/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Left.wav". This produces a click sound in
the speakers, after which I can get sound from "aplay -D plughw:1,9
/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Left.wav". The sound is clear and
undistorted. (I'm assuming this is because the alsa driver isn't
initializing the card properly.)

After I perform the above steps to trick the card into working, I can
usually select the card (HDA NVidia) in sound preferences and get badly
distorted sound through any program.

It seems like there are two problems here: the card isn't initializing
properly, and after it has been initialized pulseaudio can't play audio
through it properly (as evidenced by the bad distortion.)

[Bug 611810] Re: [PATCH] NVIDIA GPU audio-over-HDMI: Patch required to support recent GPUs

2010-12-31 Thread andy16666
I'm able to get sound if I run the following command a few times form
the terminal:

aplay -D plughw:1,9 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Left.wav

I have to run it repeatedly before I get any sound. Once I do get sound
through the speakers, sound then works through other programs too
(through pulse), but it is very distorted...almost unlistenable. So this
could be an issue with pulseaudio, since sound through aplay sounds
clear but sound through pulse (once I get it to work) is distorted.

Sound never plays normally after a reboot. So far I've always had to
fiddle with aplay until it starts working. Then I can play through
pulse.

Is this related to this bug report or something else?

I'm afraid it does not. It shows up in sound preferences as HDA NVidia.
I unmuted all three channels in alsamixer. I even disabled my onboard
sound card. No sound comes out of my monitor though. I tested the same
configuration in windows and I do have sound. So something is still
broken.

I'm having the same problem. It makes it hard to work on a file from a
remote machine over a long period of time. If I look away for even a
short time gedit will freeze and I'll have to wait for it to time out
before I can continue working on my code. I can provide any additional

[Bug 86028] Re: RFE: ask all config-file questions at the start or end of the upgrade

2010-06-18 Thread andy16666
I suspect that this bug is a result of the design of dpkg. Does anybody
know specifically what causes the popups? Is it the installation scripts
in the individual packages?

There is no doubt in my experience that this is a stopper for some
users. Specifically experienced users who've used other platforms and
later tried Ubuntu. As an experienced Linux user I'm just glad to be
able to upgrade, although honestly I've yelled at my computer over this
one after walking away to let an upgrade run, only to come back and find
that it's stopped and waiting for input several hours from completion.

What it comes down to is that this issue requires the user to attend the
upgrade which can sometimes take 10-12 hours, and which clearly should
not require periodic user input. So from an HCI standpoint it's
extremely bad behavior. And while I realize the difficulty in bringing
together thousands of separate package scripts into a coherent user
interface, I think this bug really deserves much more developer
attention than it seems to have gotten.

PS - It's definitely a major paper cut.

Using gconf-editor as described in #19 worked. Still think there should

http://lists.linuxaudio.org/pipermail/linux-audio-user/2006-March/032890.html

I suspect that this bug is for some reason due to the fact that rezound
is trying to use / as its temporary storage. I have no idea why it would
be doing this, but Ubuntu is the only distro upon which I have seen this
bug, so it must be something that you guys are doing when you
compile/package it.

2007-12-06 Thread andy16666
I can confirm this bug. Among many other issues, this bug will probably
force me to install gentoo again. I agree 100% with the other poster. As
a musician, rezound is essential equipment, and not only for single
track. It's also one of only a couple free multitrack programs out there
for linux and the only really superb one.

Hopefully you guys will get your acts together and fix some of these
small show stoppers like this one. I can't stress enough that this bug
is likely to force me to stop using ubuntu if it isn't addressed.
