[Bug 640720] [NEW] Make Default button in Gnome Display Properties has no effect on the resolution at login screen

2010-09-16 Thread surreal
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

My monitor's native resolution is 1440x900. I would Ubuntu's login
screen to be at that resolution. The problem is that while I can select
that resolution from Display Properties and it works when I'm logged in,
the applet's Make Default button has no effect on the login screen, it
comes up at 1280x1024.

I'm running Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat, my video adapter is AMD/ATI Radeon 9800 
pro and I'm using the open-source drivers. Here's a list of relevant software 
package versions:

2010-08-30 Thread surreal
I disagree, for what it's worth. In #204202, the problem is with in-
program shortcuts (ctrl+z to suspend current job in Terminal) working in
an unexpected way while here we are dealing with desktop shortcuts
(super+t to launch Terminal) not working. Perhaps the cause is the same
or close enough, but wouldn't the symptoms have to be more similar in
order to really call the bug reports duplicates? That's not a rhetorical
question -- I actually don't, but would like to, know.

2010-06-15 Thread surreal
For the record, my workaround involves setting system and user layouts
to be _different_ from each other.

But that might be a moot point. I don't know what caused this (I don't
remember doing anything other than installing chromium-browser and
messing around with Gnome default browser setting), but the workaround
stopped working, at least partially -- Metacity shortcuts work, g-s-d
ones don't. Logging out and in again still hides the bug, so I will turn
off autologin as another work-around for now.

2010-06-14 Thread surreal
It's interesting that you are hitting the bug without autologin. My
theory so far has been that GDM does something to make the bug go away,
but apparently that does not happen in your case. Maybe that's because
we're using different versions? I'm running Lucid Lynx on my computer
with GDM version 2.30.0-0ubuntu5, what about you?

I don't think the distinction between US and UK QWERTY is particularly
important. Where I mentioned standard US QWERTY, I was guessing that
this would be the fallback / hard-coded keymap that erroneously gets
used when triggering hotkeys.

I think I'll leave figuring out a solution for people who know the inner
workings of the software in question, but I did figure out a work-around
that at least hides the problem in my case: I set my system keyboard
layout to Estonia Dvorak and user's layout to Estonia Dvorak and
Estonia US keyboard with Estonian letters. Whereas before both system
and user's layouts were like the current user's layout, now they differ
between themselves and the bug does not manifest.

I hope this helps.

[Bug 310000] Re: Keyboard shortcuts don't stick with multiple keymappings

2010-06-13 Thread surreal
I've researched this behaviour in some detail and would like to help in
solving this bug. I would open a new bug in GNOME bugzilla, but I don't
know what to file it against, so I'd like to discuss the bug here first.

I have had this problem for a while and have even filed a couple of bug
reports, but the conclusions I had drawn then were inaccurate. By using
a more systematic approach to testing this and by actually writing down
the results, I think I have narrowed the issue down quite a bit now,
though.

To reproduce this problem, all conditions have to be met:
Use autologin. If you happen to log out and in again through GDM, the bug 
stops working and expected behaviour ensues.
The first keyboard layout has to have keys that differ from those of standard 
US QWERTY keyboard, e.g. US Dvorak. That's where the symptoms arise -- 
shortcuts using these keys.
The user's keyboard layout(s) have to exactly match (those of) the system's. In 
other words, after selecting the user's keyboard layout(s), apply the layout 
settings system-wide (there should be a button in keyboard preferences for 
that).

The symptoms, should you get the above right:
Shortcuts get triggered (the first step of two, if you will) when pressing the 
key combination as it would appear on QWERTY layout (expected behaviour: Dvorak 
keys should trigger the shortcuts). Then they get handled (step two) by either 
Metacity (e.g. run terminal) or Gnome-Settings-Daemon (e.g. run web browser).
Metacity handles the key combination as if pressed on QWERTY, so the shortcut 
sort of works, it just isn't on the right key.
G-S-D handles the key combination as pressed on whatever layout you are 
actually using, complicating matters. Generally the shortcut doesn't work, but 
it might, like in this example: You use Dvorak layout. You have ctrl+u set as 
shortcut 1 and ctrl+g (which corresponds to ctrl+u on qwerty) as shortcut 2. 
Shortcut 2 effectively works as expected.

So, where should this bug go? As I said, I wouldn't mind reporting it in
GNOME Bugzilla if I just knew what component to file it against.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon
  
- When using Dvorak keymap, keyboard shortcuts that are handled by g-s-d
- and have a letter in them (e.g. super+w, launch browser) don't work when
- logging in. Resetting them either in Keyboard Shortcuts or gconf-editor
- makes them work again. This bug does not affect shortcuts handled by
- Metacity, hence I'm reporting it here and using the new custom shortcuts
- feature in Keyboard Shortcuts as a workaround.
+ After logging in, all keyboard shortcuts have moved to the physical

- The problem is affecting gnome-settings-daemon 2.28.1-0ubuntu2 under
- Ubuntu 9.10
+ Versions affected:
+ gnome-settings-daemon 2.28.1-0ubuntu2 under Ubuntu 9.10
+ gnome-settings-daemon 2.30.0-0ubuntu1 under Ubuntu 10.04
+ 
+ Steps to reproduce:
+ 1. Set keymap to Estonia Dvorak.
+ 2. Observe that pressing ctrl+alt+h (which translates to ctrl+alt+d on Dvorak 
keymap) hides all windows, given that ctrl+alt+d is set up to show desktop.
+ 3. Reboot.
+ 4. When logged in again, observe that ctrl+alt+h has no effect while 
ctrl+alt+d hides all windows. Note that this is not desired behaviour for a 
Dvorak keymap user.

2010-02-13 Thread surreal
Actually, that's not true, that is, custom shortcuts do not necessarily
work.

To clarify: Shortcuts involving keys that differ on Dvorak and Sholes
layout do not work when system keymap is set to Dvorak. So, for
instance, alt+f4 works, as does ctrl+shift+m ('m' and 'a' are in the
same position on both Dvorak and Sholes layout). The latter is probably
where my confusion about custom shortcuts working arose from.

[Bug 403303] Re: power manager reports 1% battery even though it is full

2009-11-18 Thread surreal
I have done some research on this problem and come across an informative 
discussion on this problem on a Debian-related mailing list:
http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-eeepc-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org/msg01135.html

What I got from this is:

The Eee pc's battery does not adhere to ACPI standards in reporting its
capacity, returning a percentage in a field which is specified as having
the unit mAh. Linux (ACPI driver, I guess) exports the percentage value
of capacity in mAh in /proc/acpi/battery (and possibly elsewhere), which
leads into problems in anything that uses it.

So where should this be fixed? Given that this has slim chance of
happening in Eee pc's BIOS and no chance of everyone even upgrading to
that unlikely new BIOS version, I would say the next best place would be
just one step up the ladder -- in Linux ACPI driver -- because if this
would be fixed (only) in devicekit-power, other processes that don't
rely on dk-p, e.g. manually cat'ing /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info, would
still return erroneous results.

I'm using Option GlobeSurfer Icon (0af0:6600 Option GlobeTrotter 3G+

I can confirm that:
- in plain Karmic, I can not connect using NM, not the first or any subsequent 
time I try.
- in plain Karmic, I can connect by setting up /etc/ppp/peers/foobar (device 
/dev/ttyUSB0) and running sudo pon foobar.
- with updates the NetworkManager PPA 
(https://launchpad.net/~network-manager/+archive/trunk) I can use NM to connect 
with success on the second try.

Simone Tolotti has already provided logs from situation similar to mine,
but let me know if my own particular logs would be of use, I'd be happy
to run through DebuggingModemManager in that case.

2009-09-13 Thread surreal
I can confirm the bug on Karmic, specifically gnome-control-center
1:2.27.91-0ubuntu3. The problem, as far as I can understand -- and mind
you, this is mostly speculation -- is this:

At the time of keyboard shortcut assignment, all modifier keys and a
symbol is captured. In the non-working example above, what gets captured
is {Shift+Mod4+(}. '(' is, unfortunately, another way of saying
{Shift+9} (depending on the keyboard), so when keys get pressed at
another time, what gets compared to the shortcut above is either
{Shift+Mod4+9} or {Mod4+(}.

I guess whatever is making the comparison is case-insensitive or
something, because alphabetic keys work in Shift-combinations. *-key on
the number pad does not have a Shift-accessed secondary key, so this
works as well.

Does this seem plausible to anyone else or am I way off base here?

I can also confirm the bug, though I would like to suggest a more

I'm using Karmic desktop (a5 + updates) on an Eee PC 900. On boot, I
always get the notification and sometimes a dialog box as well, but if I
remember correctly, the dialog box does not have a button for ignoring
the issue, I can post an update when I know for sure.

It would be nice to be able to get rid of the message, nicer still if
the battery information (or possibly misinformation) provided by Eee PC
would be used in a way that would make sense.

[Bug 269777] [NEW] Blank screen on second login if user has Compiz enabled

2008-09-13 Thread surreal
Public bug reported:

In my Intrepid Ibex system, in a situation where user A is logged in,
user B is unable to use the system if user B has Visual Effects enabled
(it doesn't matter whether user A does).  It is possible for user B to
log in, but the display remains pure white with the only visible thing
being the cursor on it. It is possible to e.g. run a browser and resize
it using feedback from the cursor to locate the edge of the browser, but
that's not much of a use. Pressing ctrl+alt+backspace has the effect of
showing the wallpaper and placeholders for panels for a split second,
then logs out.

If it is relevant, my computer has an Ati Radeon 9800pro video card and
I am not using the proprietary drivers.

Thanks for your time.

2008-09-12 Thread surreal
I have fixed the problem on my system. Here's what I think caused it:

I had upgraded from Hardy using update-manager -e (which, maybe, I
should have mentioned in the original bug report) and apparently was
left with some cruft that caused Compiz to misbehave. After completely
removing and then reinstalling all packages related to Compiz, it is
gone.

Because Compiz misbehaved, I had another problem (which, of course, is
gone now): Multiple users could not usably be (graphically) logged in at
the same time, only the first login was functional. The other(s) would
wind up with what looks like  an empty screen and a cursor.

So, what now? Should the bug be closed or can something be improved with
the information I have supplied?
