[Bug 947008] Re: update-notifier inappropriately uses an indicator menu if xubuntu-desktop is installed
This bug was fixed in the package update-notifier - 0.136 --- update-notifier (0.136) saucy; urgency=low [ Steve Langasek ] * If the /var/lib/update-notifier/fsck-at-reboot stamp file is older than the current uptime, any information about fscking at next boot is definitely stale - so force a refresh. LP: #692355. [ Brian Murray ] * Remove support for choosing not to auto-launch applications (LP: #947008) * Remove reboot required notification as update-manager itself indicates when a reboot is required and it only appeared when auto-launch was set to false. * Move update-notifier checking for CDs with packages into a new binary distro-cd-updater * Add an upstart user session job that runs upon CD insertion * Remove sections of uevent related to hp firmware and replace them with an upstart user session job * Modified avahi disabled notification to run as an upstart user session * Modified new release check to run as an upstart user session * Added in a weekly cron job to check for a new release of ubuntu * Added an upstart user session job to check for crashes * Ensure we ask before launching a pkexec dialog for an apport crash -- Brian Murray br...@ubuntu.com Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:08:21 -0700 ** Changed in: update-notifier (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress = Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/947008 Title: update-notifier inappropriately uses an indicator menu if xubuntu- desktop is installed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-notifier/+bug/947008/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

** Description changed: update-notifier 0.118.1ubuntu1, apport 1.93-0ubuntu2, Ubuntu 12.04 beta 1 1. Install xubuntu-desktop (for example, for someone else to use on the same computer). 2. Log in to a Unity session. 3. Trigger a crash (e.g. at a terminal, sh -c 'kill -SEGV $$'). 4. Wait for software updates to become available. What happens: 3. A red explosion menu appears, and a notification bubble saying An application has crashed on your system (now or in the past). Click on the notification icon to display details. 4. An orange starburst menu appears, with miscapitalized items Show updates, Install all updates, etc. What's wrong with this: * There's no point in showing a menu that contains only an item to open an alert box, instead of just opening the alert box. * No, it wasn't an application that crashed, it was a terminal command. * (now or in the past) is awkward. * Click on the notification icon? What's a notification icon? * We know that a tiny orange starburst isn't enough to get people to install updates promptly. * It doesn't follow the design specification in either case. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ErrorTracker#error https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#Launching_automatically This bug has two causes. First, there exists a dconf key com.ubuntu .update-notifier.auto-launch, and update-notifier goes off the reservation if the key is set to false. And second, xubuntu-desktop installs a /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/20_xubuntu-default- settings.gschema.override that sets auto-launch=false, even if you aren't using a Xubuntu session yourself. This is an example of the cost of implementing settings that shouldn't exist. Dealing with errors, showing updates, installing updates, and accessing the update settings are all the same number of clicks from the respective dialog as they are from the menus, if any other windows are in front of the dialog when it opens, or even fewer clicks if no windows are in front of it. The indicator menus and the com.ubuntu.update-notifier.auto-launch setting should be removed. If the Xubuntu developers want different behavior, they should implement their own notifier. Fixing this would - also resolve bug 249367, bug 265313, bug 752017, and bug 891421. + also resolve bug 249367, bug 263513, bug 752017, and bug 891421. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/947008 Title: update-notifier inappropriately uses an indicator menu if xubuntu- desktop is installed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-notifier/+bug/947008/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
