[Bug 519583] Re: can't add, move, unlock applets & no clock
Arghhh. Logged out, logged back in, and clock applet jumped to center of gnome panel, and was locked there. On a two-screen system, this is really dumb, as half of the applet is on one screen, and half the applet is on the other. I'm miffed that my system was fine for months, and then a simple log-out/log-back-in screws it up. This is in oneiric. Could we do some regression testing before pushing out new ubuntu releases? I'm getting tired of having everything break all the time. It was not like this in the glory days of Ubuntu, when life was awesome. Now, its just random breakage for random reasons: yes, I read above how this supposedly makes things "better" for some imagined someone, but it always makes it worse, for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/519583 Title: can't add, move, unlock applets & no clock To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/519583/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 519583] Re: can't add, move, unlock applets & no clock
Someone take this feature out back and kill it. I wanted to try the netbook remix because the standard configuration has too much bloat for my laptop. The "fix" that is proposed gives me back the same bloated system with a slightly different user interface. What I need is a linux distro that doesn't bring my laptop to it's knees when I try to do anything more than surf the web (you know, something more like ubuntu used to be). Call me old fashioned, but I remember when linux was about giving users control of their machines not locking it down. An acceptable fix would be to follow francescomm's suggestion and allow manual editing of the panel so that users could decide if they want the indicator applet (I don't) or the system monitor applet (I do). Anyway, that's the end of my rant. Maybe I'll go back to Debian or try Kbuntu or something else. Ubuntu may have misfired with the 10.4 upgrade (for my needs) but that's the great thing about linux, there are plenty of distros to choose from and one of them is probably right for me :) -- can't add, move, unlock applets & no clock https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/519583 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 519583] Re: can't add, move, unlock applets & no clock
Hello, and thanks for the great work (Lucid is great, and NBR also). I understand it is a problem to let users edit the panel on the fly, so I was wondering if there was a way to just add an applet or two once by modifying some prefs or init files and then leave it there forever. After all, someone has chosen which were the panel applets to include and which were to skip, and that information must be written in files somewhere. So I guess it may be changed to just add an applet or two. In my case I would really need the processor speed switcher, as the Atom processor really needs to be switched to performance mode some times (skype video..), and opening a terminal to do it isn't great. I also like other items (vnc client) but I can live without. So I can live well without panel editing, movable panels and the like, and if there was just an ini file to tell NBR to load a panel item at next reboot, I'd consider it a real fix.

This _might_ be a similar/related bug: starting this morning, my Gnome Panel clock is stuck at a specific time. If i remove the clock (or kill its process), the image of the clock stays on the panel but it no longer reacts like a clock (e.g. right-clicking brings up the panel menu, not the clock menu).

No bug on the gnome project about that AFAIK. Supporting multiple GNOME session with different user configuration isn't available upstream and something we did into ubuntu. However, being able to edit the added session is really tricky in case of GNOME panel and shouldn't land in a LTS. That's why the workaround will be the documentation LaserJock will write, but unfortunately, you won't be able anymore to have a dedicated GNOME session you can choose in GDM.

Right, This is by design and due to some technical issues. If you choose the Ubuntu Netbook Edition session, the panel is locked. If you choose the GNOME session (which is new in lucid for UNE), you have your traditional GNOME session. LaserJock will provide a documentation for people really wanting to change their panel, but you will lost your GNOME session then. ** Changed in: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid ** Changed in: ubuntu-netbook-default-settings (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix -- can't add, move, unlock applets & no clock https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/519583 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 519583] Re: can't add, move, unlock applets & no clock
And one more point I just thought to make: This bug only affects the gnome-panel when logging into an Ubuntu Netbook Edition session, but not a standard Gnome session on UNE. So to reproduce: 1. Boot computer. 2. When GDM loads, select your user name. 3. Next to "Session" at the bottom of the screen, select Ubuntu Netbook Edition 4. Right click anywhere in the panel, and notice that there is no way to unlock or move existion panel applets and icons, nor is there a way to add any new icons. *BUT* if in step 3 above you select "GNOME" as the current session to run, all gnome-panel applets behave as expected. -- can't add, move, unlock applets & no clock https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/519583 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 also want to confirm Joshua's post: this doesn't just affect my user account or the default "ubuntu" live-cd account, but also any new account added to the system. ** Also affects: ubuntu-netbook-default-settings (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- can't add, move, unlock applets & no clock https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/519583 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 519583] Re: can't add, move, unlock applets & no clock
This bug is reproducible for me across multiple machines in both the Alpha 2 and several recent daily-live ISOs I've burned to USB. I've also still got this problem on my Dell Mini 9 with a fully up-to-date installation. I was able to add the clock by rsyncing my desktop's ~/ folder to my laptop's, but somehow it's stuck on the left hand side and cannot be moved. I'm marking this as confirmed. ** Changed in: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- can't add, move, unlock applets & no clock https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/519583 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 519583] Re: can't add, move, unlock applets & no clock
This affects me too. I see the Clock applet in gconf: j...@coyote:~$ gconftool -R '/apps/panel/applets/applet_7' menu_path = applications:/ launcher_location = bonobo_iid = OAFIID:GNOME_ClockApplet and here: j...@coyote:~$ gconftool -R '/apps/panel/general' profiles_migrated = false enable_program_list = true applet_id_list = [applet_0,applet_1,applet_2,applet_3,applet_4,clock_screen0,applet_6] I don't see applet_7 in the list, and I can't edit applet_id_list either. I'm probably going about this the wrong way, but I am certainly affected by the lack of a clock, and there's no mouse-based UI to add items to the panel. I've also tried wiping my .gconf folder and the problem persists. I also tried creating a new, blank user, and the problem exists on this user. I've attached this test user's home folder for your perusal. If there's anything else I can provide, please let me know :) ** Attachment added: "test user's home folder" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/39253506/testar.tar.bz2 -- can't add, move, unlock applets & no clock https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/519583 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 519583] Re: can't add, move, unlock applets & no clock
Sorry, I thought the answers to those questions were explained in the original bug... 1. Reproducible because it happens all the time. 2. It can be recreated by trying to add, move, or unlock any of the applets already on the gnome-panel. I'm not sure how to mark my clock being missing... I can't reproduce or recreate something that isn't there.
