[Bug 89465] Bring back Control Center
Public bug reported: Bring back the Control Center of Herd 4. The new way (Preferences and Administration menus) is far less intuitive for newbies (like me). Control Center was a terrific concept and made it real easy for people making the switch from XP to Linux. You want converts ..? no? You want converts? yes? Take it from a recent convert (me) ... Bring back Control Center in the exact way and function you had in Herd 4. It was well organized .. easy to use ... made a lot of sense... and atually fun to experiment with. Bug = Control Center was replaced with a much harder and less intuitive and less visually pleasing method. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Bring back Control Center https://launchpad.net/bugs/89465 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 89466] "Desktop Effect" blow out the display
Public bug reported: Under Ubuntu 6.10 (I think that was it) I had apt-get Beryl working after I installed updated Nvidia drivers from Add/Remove. Nice fffects .. love just dragging apps over to desktop two and watching the screen flip to desktop two. I liked transparent window edges. Cool. Now - under Herd 5 .. I see "Desktop Effects" .. wonderful! But selecting that option causes either "Desktop effects could not be enabled" or - a full white screen with cross-hairs cursor takes over .. which can not be exited or repaired or rebooted out of ... necessitation a full reinstall. Not good. My system is a pretty generic eMachine at 1.2Ghertz with a GForce 5200 onboard. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- "Desktop Effect" blow out the display https://launchpad.net/bugs/89466 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

We went from easy and fun (visually laid out great!) - to dull and unintuitive. Same ole same ole. 3) Changing [View] in Evolution is now broken (takbar settings) 4) MP3 support in "Sound Recorder" seems to be gone (yes I realize the maybe-legal issues - but now my mp3 player is useless with ubuntu). 5) [Desktop Effects] freezes my machine with a full white screen (just white nothing else except cursor cross-hairs that do nothing) requiring a full reinstall (unfixable except in safe-terminal IF you know what you are doing). Yet I ran Beryl fine in 6.10. 6) Windows Media from web links does not stream in Totem (yes.. mms and gstream and all applied) it either will not run or (open a stand alone totem and it will run but so spasmed out you do not want to watch it - voice out of sync - jumpy, horrible). 7) In Herd 4 and install or Realplayer worked. In herd 5 and install of Realplayer does not work (Firefox wise). Something got broken under the hood. Totem ... needs a lot of work. It would be better to write a working mozzila plugin for VLC. VLC can do all totem can (almost) do and do it better. I will let you know others as I find them (not looking - just bumping into them). Oh, yeah... it frustrates me that I set a background and if I forget or even move the pic from where it was - my background is now gone. Just create a .background directory and if someone sets a background copy the pic there and pick it us from there for use. That way the user can not screw it up. Now I am new to Linux... but I am as old as the hills to computing. I was designing networks and coding in C when the internet was a char-interface only. And I would like to see serious competition for Microsloth ... Ubuntu can be that (Gnome and all). BUT - the average mom and pop user who does only the simple things like email and browsing a bit of WP and picture gawking ... has got to be able to sit down with a new install of Ubuntu - and quickly make it work. They have no need or desire to look under the hood. Nore do they have any desire to run the universe using their computer. Mr Linux is wrong.. for knocking Gnome... as if everybody using Linux MUST be a code-tech! KDE will just confuse the fu*k out of the novice.(As it did me) and Gnome is the ticket for the linux beginner who has no desire to script around under the hood. HERD 4 - was much closer to a working, useful, well organized for the newbie - reason to drop Windows. Keep in mind that the biggest trouble with any successful program application (there is a comparison here) is - bloat. Windows Vista - is BLOATED beyond belief. Excepting specific tech purposes (I workstation music on Windows) it is bloated to nonsense for the average person - who just wants to do email, surf the web, record rip music, watch a few movies, play some games ... and not much more. Ubuntu IS the closest thing to replacing Windows for the average (non-tech) user... and that is a compliment. And I think that should be the main focus (right now) as the tide is favorable. Easy of use for the beginner - and all the main functions (email, browse, mp3, pics, WP) working. The great thing about Ubuntu is its simplicity (opposite of bloat). One CAN trick it out is one wants to (and that is a plus) but out of the box - it should be simple and functional right away for the - average guy. Someone who does not know a bit of code should be able to install it and working (for the essentials I mentioned) within 20 minutes. And everything about it (installed out of the box) should either work - and be real intuitive - or - not be there. Bring back the Control Center - bring back lame-mp3 support, freeze your app-repository (the stuff available to install) and concentrate and making everything in the repository - work in every way. It is better to have less-of-a-product in which everything works - than to have more-of-a-product in which 40% of things are broken or flakey. Just my humble opinion. But.. I have (in the past) made many software companies wealthy - because I know what the average joe likes and wants in the way of software. I know what people will buy and not buy - and why. What attracts a experienced linux person to linux - is not the same thing that will attract the masses to linux. Anyways.. thanks for listening. I doubt things will change. And that is fine and I will like Ubuntu no matter what anyway. -ray -- Major Bug = moving backwards https://launchpad.net/bugs/89475 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://li

If I keep Add/Remove open (do not hit the final [OK] then Art Manager does show up under Prefrences - Aet Manager - and seems to work. Neat.

Re: [Bug 14669] Re: GTK+ buttons not clickable if the window loses focus
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 22930 *** It appears that someone gave this bug the header of ... "GTK+ buttons not clickable if the window loses focus" The window is still in focus and never left focus. It is the install window and there are no other windows involved, opened, or even possible of being opened. It is not a result of change of focus. This bug only takes place during the installation (asking you what login, password, time settings, what drive to install to... etc...). Since it is during the install process... I can not take a capture snapshot for you. It only happens on a windows where one can accept the defaults. Specifically - if this is a re-install then GTK+ will present suggested defaults for the Time Setting window. My location is New York .. so when the clickable map comes up ... if "New York" is already given as a suggested default by GTK+ ... I need not move the mouse at all (to click the map and select a different location) ... all I need do is click the [Forward] button and move on to the next install screen... BUT - because I had clicked the [Forward] button on the windows that was before the Time Settings window - and had not moved my mouse cursor at all - my cursor is positioned ON the [Forward] button of the Time Setting windows... already. Clicking [Forward] now does nothing. Broken. I must first move my mouse cursor OFF of the [Forward] button and then back on to the [Forward] button - before clicking it will work. I know this is difficult to understand. Let me say it in different words. - IF (when going screen to screen during the installation steps) the [Forward] button is drawn under the location of the mouse cursor... the mouse cursor must be moved off of the [Forward] button and then back onto the [Forward] button or the [Forward] button will not be clickable. - -ray On Mon, 2007-03-12 at 11:52 +, Laurent Bigonville wrote: > *** This bug is a duplicate of bug 22930 *** > > See upstream bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56070 > -- GTK+ buttons not clickable if the window loses focus https://launchpad.net/bugs/14669 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

We went from easy and fun (visually laid out great!) - to dull and unintuitive. Same ole same ole. 3) Changing [View] in Evolution is now broken (takbar settings) 4) MP3 support in "Sound Recorder" seems to be gone (yes I realize the maybe-legal issues - but now my mp3 player is useless with ubuntu). 5) [Desktop Effects] freezes my machine with a full white screen (just white nothing else except cursor cross-hairs that do nothing) requiring a full reinstall (unfixable except in safe-terminal IF you know what you are doing). Yet I ran Beryl fine in 6.10. 6) Windows Media from web links does not stream in Totem (yes.. mms and gstream and all applied) it either will not run or (open a stand alone totem and it will run but so spasmed out you do not want to watch it - voice out of sync - jumpy, horrible). 7) In Herd 4 and install or Realplayer worked. In herd 5 and install of Realplayer does not work (Firefox wise). Something got broken under the hood. Totem ... needs a lot of work. It would be better to write a working mozzila plugin for VLC. VLC can do all totem can (almost) do and do it better. I will let you know others as I find them (not looking - just bumping into them). Oh, yeah... it frustrates me that I set a background and if I forget or even move the pic from where it was - my background is now gone. Just create a .background directory and if someone sets a background copy the pic there and pick it us from there for use. That way the user can not screw it up. Now I am new to Linux... but I am as old as the hills to computing. I was designing networks and coding in C when the internet was a char-interface only. And I would like to see serious competition for Microsloth ... Ubuntu can be that (Gnome and all). BUT - the average mom and pop user who does only the simple things like email and browsing a bit of WP and picture gawking ... has got to be able to sit down with a new install of Ubuntu - and quickly make it work. They have no need or desire to look under the hood. Nore do they have any desire to run the universe using their computer. Mr Linux is wrong.. for knocking Gnome... as if everybody using Linux MUST be a code-tech! KDE will just confuse the fu*k out of the novice.(As it did me) and Gnome is the ticket for the linux beginner who has no desire to script around under the hood. HERD 4 - was much closer to a working, useful, well organized for the newbie - reason to drop Windows. Keep in mind that the biggest trouble with any successful program application (there is a comparison here) is - bloat. Windows Vista - is BLOATED beyond belief. Excepting specific tech purposes (I workstation music on Windows) it is bloated to nonsense for the average person - who just wants to do email, surf the web, record rip music, watch a few movies, play some games ... and not much more. Ubuntu IS the closest thing to replacing Windows for the average (non-tech) user... and that is a compliment. And I think that should be the main focus (right now) as the tide is favorable. Easy of use for the beginner - and all the main functions (email, browse, mp3, pics, WP) working. The great thing about Ubuntu is its simplicity (opposite of bloat). One CAN trick it out is one wants to (and that is a plus) but out of the box - it should be simple and functional right away for the - average guy. Someone who does not know a bit of code should be able to install it and working (for the essentials I mentioned) within 20 minutes. And everything about it (installed out of the box) should either work - and be real intuitive - or - not be there. Bring back the Control Center - bring back lame-mp3 support, freeze your app-repository (the stuff available to install) and concentrate and making everything in the repository - work in every way. It is better to have less-of-a-product in which everything works - than to have more-of-a-product in which 40% of things are broken or flakey. Just my humble opinion. But.. I have (in the past) made many software companies wealthy - because I know what the average joe likes and wants in the way of software. I know what people will buy and not buy - and why. What attracts a experienced linux person to linux - is not the same thing that will attract the masses to linux. Anyways.. thanks for listening. I doubt things will change. And that is fine and I will like Ubuntu no matter what anyway. -ray -- Major Bug = moving backwards https://launchpad.net/bugs/89475 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://li

Re: [Bug 14669] Re: GTK+ buttons not clickable if the window loses focus
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 22930 *** It appears that someone gave this bug the header of ... "GTK+ buttons not clickable if the window loses focus" The window is still in focus and never left focus. It is the install window and there are no other windows involved, opened, or even possible of being opened. It is not a result of change of focus. This bug only takes place during the installation (asking you what login, password, time settings, what drive to install to... etc...). Since it is during the install process... I can not take a capture snapshot for you. It only happens on a windows where one can accept the defaults. Specifically - if this is a re-install then GTK+ will present suggested defaults for the Time Setting window. My location is New York .. so when the clickable map comes up ... if "New York" is already given as a suggested default by GTK+ ... I need not move the mouse at all (to click the map and select a different location) ... all I need do is click the [Forward] button and move on to the next install screen... BUT - because I had clicked the [Forward] button on the windows that was before the Time Settings window - and had not moved my mouse cursor at all - my cursor is positioned ON the [Forward] button of the Time Setting windows... already. Clicking [Forward] now does nothing. Broken. I must first move my mouse cursor OFF of the [Forward] button and then back on to the [Forward] button - before clicking it will work. I know this is difficult to understand. Let me say it in different words. - IF (when going screen to screen during the installation steps) the [Forward] button is drawn under the location of the mouse cursor... the mouse cursor must be moved off of the [Forward] button and then back onto the [Forward] button or the [Forward] button will not be clickable. - -ray On Mon, 2007-03-12 at 11:52 +, Laurent Bigonville wrote: > *** This bug is a duplicate of bug 22930 *** > > See upstream bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56070 > -- GTK+ buttons not clickable if the window loses focus https://launchpad.net/bugs/14669 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 22930 *** Typing has no 'tone'. The interpretation of not-nice can be in the mind of the reader. My description was not intended to be anything other than nice - while trying to zero in on things (it seemed to me that the problems was being misunderstood). I am surprised that I have gotten two emails now where it seems my further description was interpreted as caustic. Believe me - it was not intended to be. It was intended to zero in better on the problem as it seemed to me (a newbie) that it was mistakenly being thought of as a problem of window focus.

In herd 5 and install of Realplayer does not work (Firefox wise). Something got broken under the hood. Totem ... needs a lot of work. It would be better to write a working mozzila plugin for VLC. VLC can do all totem can (almost) do and do it better. I will let you know others as I find them (not looking - just bumping into them). Oh, yeah... it frustrates me that I set a background and if I forget or even move the pic from where it was - my background is now gone. Just create a .background directory and if someone sets a background copy the pic there and pick it us from there for use. That way the user can not screw it up. Now I am new to Linux... but I am as old as the hills to computing. I was designing networks and coding in C when the internet was a char-interface only. And I would like to see serious competition for Microsloth ... Ubuntu can be that (Gnome and all). BUT - the average mom and pop user who does only the simple things like email and browsing a bit of WP and picture gawking ... has got to be able to sit down with a new install of Ubuntu - and quickly make it work. They have no need or desire to look under the hood. Nore do they have any desire to run the universe using their computer. Mr Linux is wrong.. for knocking Gnome... as if everybody using Linux MUST be a code-tech! KDE will just confuse the fu*k out of the novice.(As it did me) and Gnome is the ticket for the linux beginner who has no desire to script around under the hood. HERD 4 - was much closer to a working, useful, well organized for the newbie - reason to drop Windows. Keep in mind that the biggest trouble with any successful program application (there is a comparison here) is - bloat. Windows Vista - is BLOATED beyond belief. Excepting specific tech purposes (I workstation music on Windows) it is bloated to nonsense for the average person - who just wants to do email, surf the web, record rip music, watch a few movies, play some games ... and not much more. Ubuntu IS the closest thing to replacing Windows for the average (non-tech) user... and that is a compliment. And I think that should be the main focus (right now) as the tide is favorable. Easy of use for the beginner - and all the main functions (email, browse, mp3, pics, WP) working. The great thing about Ubuntu is its simplicity (opposite of bloat). One CAN trick it out is one wants to (and that is a plus) but out of the box - it should be simple and functional right away for the - average guy. Someone who does not know a bit of code should be able to install it and working (for the essentials I mentioned) within 20 minutes. And everything about it (installed out of the box) should either work - and be real intuitive - or - not be there. Bring back the Control Center - bring back lame-mp3 support, freeze your app-repository (the stuff available to install) and concentrate and making everything in the repository - work in every way. It is better to have less-of-a-product in which everything works - than to have more-of-a-product in which 40% of things are broken or flakey. Just my humble opinion. But.. I have (in the past) made many software companies wealthy - because I know what the average joe likes and wants in the way of software. I know what people will buy and not buy - and why. What attracts a experienced linux person to linux - is not the same thing that will attract the masses to linux. Anyways.. thanks for listening. I doubt things will change.

Re: [Bug 14669] Re: GTK+ buttons not clickable if the window loses focus
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 22930 *** It appears that someone gave this bug the header of ... "GTK+ buttons not clickable if the window loses focus" The window is still in focus and never left focus. It is the install window and there are no other windows involved, opened, or even possible of being opened. It is not a result of change of focus. This bug only takes place during the installation (asking you what login, password, time settings, what drive to install to... etc...). Since it is during the install process... I can not take a capture snapshot for you. It only happens on a windows where one can accept the defaults. Specifically - if this is a re-install then GTK+ will present suggested defaults for the Time Setting window. My location is New York .. so when the clickable map comes up ... if "New York" is already given as a suggested default by GTK+ ... I need not move the mouse at all (to click the map and select a different location) ... all I need do is click the [Forward] button and move on to the next install screen... BUT - because I had clicked the [Forward] button on the windows that was before the Time Settings window - and had not moved my mouse cursor at all - my cursor is positioned ON the [Forward] button of the Time Setting windows... already. Clicking [Forward] now does nothing. Broken. I must first move my mouse cursor OFF of the [Forward] button and then back on to the [Forward] button - before clicking it will work. I know this is difficult to understand. Let me say it in different words. - IF (when going screen to screen during the installation steps) the [Forward] button is drawn under the location of the mouse cursor... the mouse cursor must be moved off of the [Forward] button and then back onto the [Forward] button or the [Forward] button will not be clickable. - -ray On Mon, 2007-03-12 at 11:52 +, Laurent Bigonville wrote: > *** This bug is a duplicate of bug 22930 *** > > See upstream bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56070 > -- GTK+ buttons not clickable if the window loses focus https://launchpad.net/bugs/14669 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Excepting specific tech purposes (I workstation music on Windows) it is bloated to nonsense for the average person - who just wants to do email, surf the web, record rip music, watch a few movies, play some games ... and not much more. Ubuntu IS the closest thing to replacing Windows for the average (non-tech) user... and that is a compliment. And I think that should be the main focus (right now) as the tide is favorable. Easy of use for the beginner - and all the main functions (email, browse, mp3, pics, WP) working. The great thing about Ubuntu is its simplicity (opposite of bloat). One CAN trick it out is one wants to (and that is a plus) but out of the box - it should be simple and functional right away for the - average guy. Someone who does not know a bit of code should be able to install it and working (for the essentials I mentioned) within 20 minutes. And everything about it (installed out of the box) should either work - and be real intuitive - or - not be there. Bring back the Control Center - bring back lame-mp3 support, freeze your app-repository (the stuff available to install) and concentrate and making everything in the repository - work in every way. It is better to have less-of-a-product in which everything works - than to have more-of-a-product in which 40% of things are broken or flakey. Just my humble opinion. But.. I have (in the past) made many software companies wealthy - because I know what the average joe likes and wants in the way of software. I know what people will buy and not buy - and why. What attracts a experienced linux person to linux - is not the same thing that will attract the masses to linux. Anyways.. thanks for listening. I doubt things will change. And that is fine and I will like Ubuntu no matter what anyway. -ray -- Major Bug = moving backwards https://launchpad.net/bugs/89475 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://li

Re: [Bug 14669] Re: GTK+ buttons not clickable if the window loses focus
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 22930 *** It appears that someone gave this bug the header of ... "GTK+ buttons not clickable if the window loses focus" The window is still in focus and never left focus. It is the install window and there are no other windows involved, opened, or even possible of being opened. It is not a result of change of focus. This bug only takes place during the installation (asking you what login, password, time settings, what drive to install to... etc...). Since it is during the install process... I can not take a capture snapshot for you. It only happens on a windows where one can accept the defaults. Specifically - if this is a re-install then GTK+ will present suggested defaults for the Time Setting window. My location is New York .. so when the clickable map comes up ... if "New York" is already given as a suggested default by GTK+ ... I need not move the mouse at all (to click the map and select a different location) ... all I need do is click the [Forward] button and move on to the next install screen... BUT - because I had clicked the [Forward] button on the windows that was before the Time Settings window - and had not moved my mouse cursor at all - my cursor is positioned ON the [Forward] button of the Time Setting windows... already. Clicking [Forward] now does nothing. Broken. I must first move my mouse cursor OFF of the [Forward] button and then back on to the [Forward] button - before clicking it will work. I know this is difficult to understand. Let me say it in different words. - IF (when going screen to screen during the installation steps) the [Forward] button is drawn under the location of the mouse cursor... the mouse cursor must be moved off of the [Forward] button and then back onto the [Forward] button or the [Forward] button will not be clickable. - -ray On Mon, 2007-03-12 at 11:52 +, Laurent Bigonville wrote: > *** This bug is a duplicate of bug 22930 *** > > See upstream bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56070 > -- GTK+ buttons not clickable if the window loses focus https://launchpad.net/bugs/14669 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 22930 *** Typing has no 'tone'. The interpretation of not-nice can be in the mind of the reader. My description was not intended to be anything other than nice - while trying to zero in on things (it seemed to me that the problems was being misunderstood). I am surprised that I have gotten two emails now where it seems my further description was interpreted as caustic. Believe me - it was not intended to be. It was intended to zero in better on the problem as it seemed to me (a newbie) that it was mistakenly being thought of as a problem of window focus. It maybe that I misunderstand the term 'focus' as used. Focus is when two or more windows are open and one of them is 'focus' (the active window engaged by cursor action) ... yes?

Re: [Bug 88246] Re: application "Art Manager" does not install
If I keep Add/Remove open (do not hit the final [OK] then Art Manager does show up under Prefrences - Aet Manager - and seems to work. Neat. But as soon as I hit the final [OK] of the Add/Remove screen - and it resumes - it gives me the new windows to "Remove - Splash Screen" (as I had described) and when that finished and Add/Remove shuts down... Art Manager is now gone. So it appears to get installed properly - but - the last step of Add/Remove (apparently) removes it.
