[Bug 1374918] [NEW] Cannot modify some keys (here: alt-gr p)

2014-09-28 Thread nZain

Public bug reported:

As a software developer (german keyboard) I'm using a custom keyboard layout, 
essentially de(basic) with four additional keys:
alt-gr ö = {
alt-gr ä = }
alt-gr p = [(unable to modify this one from thorn)
alt-gr ü = ]

Over the ubuntu versions the way to modify those keys has changed, where my 
favorite was xmodmap (or similar, don't remeber exactly). After my upgrade vom 
12.04 to 14.04 we're back at editing /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/de. While 
this is not very comfortable, I'm ok with that. I also found out that compiled 
keyboard maps are used by X11 now, so I have to
   sudo dpkg-reconfigure xkb-data
to make the changes take effect. This worked for remapping those german umlaut 
keys öäü with alt-gr into bracketleft/right {} and braceright ] but not for the 
'alt-gr p', which always gives me a thorn 'þ' symbol. I even tried remapping 
the shift-p into 'O', but that didn't work either.

The original line in 'de' reads
key AD10 { [   p,   P,   dead_hook,
NoSymbol,   thorn,   THORN,   dead_hook,NoSymbol ] 
};
and my modified version is
key AD10 { [   p,   P,  braceleft,
NoSymbol,   thorn,   THORN,   dead_hook,NoSymbol ] 
};

There are only four entries for the key AD10:
1. german(T3) - the one I modified.
2. dvorak - nope, no dvorak here
3. neo-base - I don't even know what this is for, but also certainly not the 
one I'm interested in
4. htc-dream - well no, using a desktop computer with regular german keyboard.

I'm guessing, something overrides the default ASCI keys? Is there a base layout 
I'm not aware of? Doesn't make much sense.
best regards
  Patrick

[Bug 757991] Re: java applications a double icon appears

2012-06-04 Thread nZain

I can confirm (that this is a pain).

1) Use xprops to find the proper WM_CLASS for your running application (e.g. 
downloaded jar, JabRef in my case).
2) From comment #16, add the proper tag to your desktop file: 
StartupWMClass=WM_CLASS (modify according to results of 1). This does not 
work yet. Actually, the app shows up for 1s and disappeared. Previously, 
without the startupwmclass tag, it was a void icon (nothing display), that did 
not work either. The trick is:
3) Put that desktop entry into your launcher, log out, log in.

I was able to hit the icon shortly before it disappeared, which crashed
compiz *g*. Without compiz the icon did not disappear and right-click 
keep in launcher worked fine. After relog, compiz works again and the
icon too. Alternatively, it could work to dragdrop the desktop file to
the launcher (which had no effect on my system - zero sized icon
eventually?) and relog.

[Bug 599283] Re: active tomboy note hangs (grayed out) frequently

2012-05-02 Thread nZain

While the cause of me filing this bug (notes grayed out while sync) it
not fixed - it is intended by the devs and I can live with it - the
aggressive sync happening more often than specified in the prefs is
indeed fixed.

User experience could be improved further by showing a message to the
user while syncing (e.g. an grayish overlay sync in progress above the
note). Eventually a soft-sync option could be implemented, where sync
only happends in background (i.e. no note focused by the user).
Personally, I don't really need the Xmin sync, but actually only once
after I close the note.

Anyways, I mark this one as fix released for tomboy(ubuntu) as well.

[Bug 991993] [NEW] cannot drag drop to autohide launcher

2012-04-30 Thread nZain

Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce:
1) set launcher to autohide (system prefs  appearance  behavior)
2) drag something to the launcher, e.g. a manually created, valid desktop entry

expected: launcher shows and item can be dropped

actual behavior: scared launcher does not show :-)

I guess this is intended to not disturb dragdrop operations in some
applications by popping up the launcher. There are various workarounds,
of course, in particular the intended way to add applications is
opening + keep in launcher, which - however - may not work with some
manually created desktop entries.

2012-04-30 Thread nZain

Using precise-proposed unity 5.12 now. Little bit weird, I'm pretty sure
I was able to drag a folder out of nautilus to the hidden launcher
(which opened as expected) ONLY on the first try. I didn't drop the
folder and its really hot here - so I'm not 100% sure, gonna log out 
try again.

Otherwise the behavior is unchanged - drag  drop only from Desktop, not
from nautilus.

Interesting. I'm unable to reproduce, but sometimes it works (not due to
sensitivity) and most times it doesn't. Typically the launcher opens
when i drag back into nautilus window (not maximized), so eventually
this is about focus?

when I drag a file, then press super - which correctly opens the
launcher - then move the file over the launcher... it behaves squishy
and hides. It doesn't like my files, eh? :)

When I drop fast enough, the desktop entry stays in the launcher.

[Bug 989422] [NEW] 12.4 install with existing 10.4 /home prevents login

2012-04-27 Thread nZain

Public bug reported:

After a fresh install of 12.4 RC using my existing /home from 10.4
(separate partition), the graphical login did not work. When I enter my
password and hit return, for a very short period some text messages pop
up, the first line saying

coul not write bytes - broken pipe (or similar)

followed by some typical system messages indicated by the asterisk ( *
stopping blabla). Then I'm back at the login screen. Terminal login
works just fine. Using grub with the alternative boot (how is it called?
same kernel, debug stuff) shows the same issue when I just resume and
failsafe x mode does not work due to the graphics card driver, I guess.

Due to limited time, I'm unable to provide more information - sorry, got
to work on this machine right now (backup home, reinstall and format
/home).

2012-04-27 Thread nZain

Public bug reported:

The plugin does not work with current versions of rhythmbox
  https://github.com/segler-alex/rhythmbox-radio-browser/issues/21
due to API changes in rhythmbox (as the developer states). Even when using the 
(addmittently outdated) PPA (ppa:segler-alex/ppa natty!), the plugin does not 
even show up in rhythmbox's plugin list. Checking with
   dconf-editor  org  gnome  rhythmbox  plugins
the plugin is not hidden but just not there.

Either one of rhythmbox devs takes a look - because this plugin is a very nice 
way to explore lots of stations without manual search-copy-add horror.
Otherwise this should be removed from the packeging system?

[Bug 778038] Re: gray background for initial letters

2011-05-08 Thread nZain

Oh, I'm sorry... obviously my translation is wrong (I'm from Germany).

I'll try to describe what I wanted: In old books or tales, the first
Letter (sometimes the first word) has a special look, e.g. made of
trees, and takes several lines of regular text. This is called initial
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initial

In libreoffice (openoffice as well), this is possible by selecting a
paragraph, then menu format  paragraph. Then there is a tab, in
german called Initialen where you activate it. If you do so, you get a
gray background on the initial. The background of the whole paragraph as
well as the bg of the single letter is set to automatic, that is, no
fill. In openoffice I can change the background manually to white, which
partially resolves the problem: depending on the font, there is no gray
bg left (e.g. Dejavu Serif) or there is still a gray line left (e.g.
Vemana2000).

As I'm running Ubuntu 10.4 on the machine I'm writing from, I can
confirm that this also exists in Openoffice 3.2.0 Build 9483. I just
activated english language for my menus... I'll log out and report back
to get the exact menu/tab names.

Ok, in openoffice the tab (and the option) is called Drop caps.

1) type some lines of text
2) put the cursor somewhere inside this paragraph
3) Menu Format  Paragraph, tab Drop Caps, activate Display Drop Caps

Now you see the gray background of the Initial or Drop Cap.

[Bug 164233] Re: [Upstream] [hardy] Exporting a background with gradient produces a stripey pdf

2010-12-10 Thread nZain

So, we're testing. (The attachment contains six files, three created
with OpenOffice, three produced with Inkscape.)

1) If this is *not* an ooo bug, gradients produced with other programs
should have the same issue: not the case. Create a gradient with
inkscape, store as pdf - looks fine in all viewers. (attached: is.pdf)

2) Maybe inkscape produces the pdf differently? Not the case. Create a
gradient in ooo, store as svg (attached: ooo.svg). Open with inkscape
and you see a wierd gradient in inkscape (no fine stripes, but large
blurry ones). Interestingly, the text stored from OOo is missing. Export
as pdf (attached: ooo.svg-is.pdf) and you get the exact same stripes as
directly exporting from ooo, but this time without text.

3) Lets do it the other way around. Create gradient with inkscape, store
as svg (attached: is.svg). Open with OpenOffice, ohm... actually I get
an empty (white) background and a large green block (the font in
inkscape was green). The export to pdf reveals a little more, that is an
inverted gradient plus the green block (attached: is.svg-ooo.pdf).

4) For the sake of completeness, I also included the original issue,
that is, creating the gradient in OOo and exporting as pdf (attached:
ooo.pdf).

Conclusion: There's a lot of stuff going wrong.
- OpenOffice produces wierd gradients (not only in PDF, but also SVG).
- OpenOffice can't open Inkscape produced SVG files properly... I should file
another bug for this, actually I didn't expect it. But I don't have the time
right now.
- Inkscape does not find/display the text stored in OOo (another bug? Oh my.)

** Attachment added: Gradients created in Inkscape and OOo, exported as svg
and pdf.

2010-12-10 Thread nZain

Oh, I forgot... I think Acrobat and Foxit display those files
correctly due to some smoothing, anti-aliasing or whatever. Nice
feature, but the print reveals the terror... which can be very costly,
when you print a 140mm x 90mm colored poster for a conference and the
responsible guys don't double-check your crappy pdf.

2010-12-10 Thread nZain

As you said this, I double-checked and printed the first example pdf -
that shows with stripes. It prints just fine without stripes on our
laserprinter at the lab. So this may affect poppler as well. Sorry for
the confusion :-(

** Changed in: poppler

[Bug 255727] Re: Two panels appear on main desktop after reboot after detaching external monitor.

2010-12-09 Thread nZain

So, after searching from here to upstream, from the non-duplicate upstream bug 
to forum posts, out-of-date PPAs I ask myself if this can be resolved somehow.
The upstream bug refers to problems where applications do not open on the 
correct monitor. However, this is not the issue here: when monitor 2 is gone, 
the gnome-panel resorts to the available monitor - which is of course useful in 
many respects. Typically, you don't want your applications be left alone in the 
void.

BUT when working in a dualscreen environment and from time to time only
on a single monitor, this is just so anyoing. This issue is open for a
long time.

So, I'm fine with the behavior as default: always revert back to an
available monitor, if the original target is lost somehow. However, for
the scenario depicted in this bug, it should be possible to lock a
particular panel to a particular monitor, even if it is not showing
then.

Basically, I suggest to add an option right-click on the panel  preferences 
to force a monitor, even if not present.
This raises the issue of lost panels, so eventually there should also be the 
possibility to gather lost panels, e.g. by right-click on any panel  find 
lost panels from disconnected monitors. I could live without the second - 
advanced - option, since I know where to look in the gconf.

If all this stuff confuses the majority of users that have only one
monitor or always work with two mons, I'm also fine with a gconf option
to deactivate this save switching off. My current workaround involves
removing the whole panel from the list of visible panels... and re-
inserting, if my second monitor becomes available. Mah.

[Bug 389519] Re: Cursor can move off-screen when dual-monitors do not form rectangular area

2010-11-12 Thread nZain

If you're looking for a simple workaround for the mouse problem (which
is not polling the mouse), I wrote a small tool to prevent the mouse
from entering the void. This is not a patch, nor will it satisfy
everyone. Refer to

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libxrandr/+bug/373367/comments/10

This is just a workaround until this tricky topic gets handled upstream
by implementing one or more policies.

2010-11-12 Thread nZain

Thanks for the flowers, but what I did is not a fix :) And I agree
with the devs that the topic isn't solved easily. People have very
different habbits and in my/your oppinion-weird layouts may be useful
to others. However, I also agree with you that at least some options
(that extend the current default behavior) could be implemented rather
quickly. Anyways, this is open source and we love it. So don't expect
something to be done quickly... or do it yourself and provide a patch
;-) I can't do it.

[Bug 599283] Re: active tomboy note hangs (grayed out) frequently

2010-10-20 Thread nZain

Welcome back, Sandy - and thanks for your hard work on tomboy/droid :)
Meanwhile I was thinking about nice but simple ways to improve the
tomboy-autosync experience.

1) A sync in progress message is the easiest way to explain what
happens. Stupid users like me would not file bugs.

2) Instead of triggering new timers when the note is edited, tomboy
should sync every N min, but delay sync whenever a note is edited.
Starvation could be prevented by decreasing the delay over time or
forcing a sync after 2*N min? Whenever a starving note loses focus, a
immediate sync could be forced - this way most syncs are not blocking
the user. Only if the user continuously edits a note for more than 2*N
minutes without switching to other programs... this would never happen
for me.

3) Buffered editing and two layers :-P Ok, ok. Ignore this one.
