With regards to comment #74: if light-themes is trying to do something (or allowing a common user to do something) that is incompatible with gnome-panel, e.g. scale a panel with a gradient background, then that is indeed a bug in light-themes. If gnome-panel cannot currently scale a background image beyond 24px, then light-themes should not use a gradient background.

Chris this is not a duplicate of #478308. The title of the current bug is very clear: 'dim display when idle' only dims but doesn't restore the previous value when not idle anymore. #478308 states Dim when idle won't turn off. These are separate bugs. You and other users have posted descriptions of several different bugs here, all relating to display dimming, and perhaps these different bugs should be filed as separate reports. The current bug report is not resolved by removing g-p-m, because that stops display dimming. What is desired is for the display to still dim, but to restore the previous brightness value rather than some default brightness when the mouse/keyboard is activated again. The bug described in this report would be resolved easily enough, if g-p-m were to remember the current user-setting of the brightness level, and then restore that value after dimming. -- [Karmic] dim display when idle only dims but doesn't restore the previous value when not idle anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392122 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 392122] Re: [Karmic] dim display when idle only dims but doesn't restore the previous value when not idle anymore
I confirm this bug on an Eee PC 1005HA. The display dimming behavior on battery power seems unpredictable (sometimes it dims after a few seconds idle, sometimes much longer), and when the computer is active again (e.g. by touching the keyboard/trackpad) the display returns to its default brightness, rather than the brightness to which I had previously set it. The default brightness is generally brighter than is needed for indoor viewing, and therefore drains the battery faster, so I am continually forced to re-lower the brightness after every time it dims. -- [Karmic] dim display when idle only dims but doesn't restore the previous value when not idle anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392122 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 315970] Re: g-p-m keeps disk spinning
Scott thanks for the info but I believe you have misidentified the problem. The bug I reported has nothing to do with G-P-M's ability to control hard drive power management, or lack thereof. The problem is that G-P-M is writing to the disk about once per minute, for the frivolous purpose of recording battery discharge history. This in itself prevents the hard drive from taking advantage of its internal power management capabilities. The situation becomes much worse if users are following the common practice of enabling Laptop Mode, which tells the hard drive spin down after periods of inactivity. In this case G-P-M's frequent disk writes cause many spin-up/spin-down cycles, which can lead to premature hard drive failure. The title of this bug g-p-m keeps disk spinning is a misnomer, because the actual bug has nothing to do with disk spinning, it is the frequent disk writes, which depending on other configuration settings can either just be annoying, or can cause serious problems for the laptop hard drive.

[Bug 370173] Re: Ubuntu 9.04 laptop overheat and shutdown
I'll add my 2 cents. My laptop, Pentium M 2.0 GHz, is experiencing CPU temps 10-20 degrees C hotter in Jaunty than in Intrepid. My fan is running properly, and actually more in Jaunty because of the higher temperatures. In Intrepid the fan would remain on low or off most of the time, with temps 35-40 idle, but with Jaunty the fan runs on medium or high constantly, with temps 45+ when idle. The laptop is not overheating and shutting down, but it is definitely running hotter. So there are two separate issues at play: some people are not getting proper fan control. Others have proper fan control, but for a currently-unknown reason are experiencing higher CPU temps in Jaunty, in many cases leading to shutdowns even with the fan running on max. In Intrepid my CPU temp never went over 69 C, whereas in Jaunty it regularly shoots up to 79 C. I luck out because my fan prevents it from going so high to initiate a shutdown. There are enough people working on debugging and I don't have time to install/test multiple kernels. My point is that this bug should be tackled as two issues: (1) fan problems, and (2) something unknown in Jaunty that is causing higher CPU temps separate from fan issues. -- Ubuntu 9.04 laptop overheat and shutdown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/370173 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

Maybe because I have a folder called applications. It's extremely annoying, with both lines taking up a lot of space in the view window. If adding additional criteria to distinguish between media types is too difficult for an immediate fix, perhaps a different solution would be to include an option to disable this media-checking feature in nautilus, via a check-box in the media options, or a manual edit of a config file. -- lists standard mounts as picture cds https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/258936 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 211149] Re: Tracker indexing 0 of 0 folders
I confirm this bug on Intrepid, clean install, not upgrade. By re- indexing and restarting the computer I eventually got tracker to do the initial indexing. However, after indexing was complete I found some sub-folders which should be indexed were not - search results from those folders don't show up. Also, after completing the initial index, I now get the Indexing 0/0 folders message whenever tracker tries to index something new. -- Tracker indexing 0 of 0 folders https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/211149 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

I should mention that I am indexing a mounted NTFS partition, don't know if that makes any difference. -- Tracker indexing 0 of 0 folders https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/211149 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 260001] Re: ubiquity crashed with InstallStepError in configure_bootloader()
I had this problem on a multi-boot system (Vista, XP, Intrepid (old), Intrepid (new)), and managed to resolve it easily enough. Here's my drive history: The first time I installed Intrepid, it was on a multi-boot system, installed on the same physical drive as Windows XP (call it drive B). Then I bought a new faster hard drive (call it drive A), and decided to install Vista x64 and Intrepid 64-bit on it. I set my bios to boot from drive A, installed Vista x64 on drive A, and then I could multi-boot into Vista (installed on A) and XP (installed on B) using the Vista bootloader. Grub and my old Intrepid install was gone - since I was no longer booting from drive B (though the files remained there). Then I tried to install Intrepid on a second partition on the new drive A. The previous Intrepid install was detected, since it was mentioned in the Migration Wizard. Well I got the ubiquity error near the end of the install process. It kicked me back to the LiveCD desktop. To solve it, I simply unplugged the old drive B - the drive that had the old Intrepid on it, as well as the old Grub and Windows XP - and re- installed Intrepid from the LiveCD. The install went perfectly. Then I turned off the computer, plugged drive B back in, and could triple-boot the new Intrepid, Vista, and XP. I simply reformatted the partition where the old Intrepid was installed, for extra disk space. Anyway, my guess is that Intrepid (or GRUB specifically) has difficulty installing on a system that has another Ubuntu/GRUB install already on it, even if it's on a separate physical hard drive. Obviously not everyone has the option of simply unplugging the drive with the old GRUB on it, but if you have that option it worked for me. -- ubiquity crashed with InstallStepError in configure_bootloader() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260001 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 139045] Re: Slow suspend on various Toshiba laptops
I have a Tecra M4 with Ubuntu 8.04 and I got suspend to work by doing, as mentioned above: cd /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/ata sudo mv ata_piix.ko ata_piix.ko.bak cat ata_piix.ko.bak | sed 's/TECRA M5/TECRA M3/' | sudo tee ata_piix.ko /dev/null sudo update-initramfs -u It works. However, resume only sometimes works. 50% of the time upon resume I get a black screen with a blinking cursor. I'm new to Linux and could use help resolving this issue. I don't see that a kernel patch for the M4 for Hardy is available yet. I'll supply any info you need, just tell me what to do. -- Slow suspend on various Toshiba laptops https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139045 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
