Lockscreen kills session
Hi folks, When I lock my screen in vivid and unlock it again. All my applications are closed. It seems like the whole session was killed by the lockscreen. I was wondering if anybody else has the same problem and if they know how to fix that. I am using systemd if that makes any difference.

Re: gnome-terminal 3.12 PSA
I am probably not the only person that is/will be confused about this. The new tab entry disappeared from the menu. You have to got preferences open new terminals in tab in order to have open terminal create new tabs instead of new windows. ~Kai On Wed, Nov 5, 2014 at 11:00 AM, Iain Lane la...@ubuntu.com wrote: Hi, After Martin's work a little while ago we were unblocked on an update of gnome-terminal. I just finished off and uploaded this today. I wanted to make readers of this list aware of one change. I'll copy and paste from the changelog. * NOTE: This version changes behaviour around the Switch to tab keyboard shortcuts. They are now active all the time, whereas previously they were only active when you had a corresponding number of tabs open. If you need to send these keys to your terminal, clear the shortcuts in the preferences dialog. You'll see this if you use the default irssi + gnome-terminal keybindings, for example. Clear them by pressing backspace in the dialog.

Re: WebKit-based apps are sluggish in latest Utopic
For me Google Chrome sometimes freezes the system for a few seconds when loading a page. This seems very similar to your problem and started to occur when I updated to utopic. However, your issues seem to be more extreme. Mine only occur once in a while. ~Kai On Mon, Sep 15, 2014 at 2:33 PM, Adam Dingle a...@medovina.org wrote: Today I made a fresh install of the latest daily build of 14.10 (Utopic). Unfortunately applications that use WebKit, including Geary and Epiphany, are now strangely sluggish. When I type characters (e.g. in a new message in Geary or in a form field in Epiphany) they don't echo for several seconds. (During that time the system is apparently not consuming CPU.) Scrolling through pages that contain form fields in Epiphany is similarly painfully sluggish. I've filed a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webkit/+bug/1369693 Still, this is strange enough that I thought I'd ask here: has anyone else seen this behavior?

Just an idea: Sometimes sudo restart lightdm magically fixes such problems.

XMPP Support in Messaging-App
Hi All, sorry if this is the wrong list for this topic. It concerns both the desktop and the phone. What currently bugs me most about Ubuntu Touch and the new apps is that there is currently no support for instant messaging. Yeah, there is the messaging-app but it only supports SMS and lets face it: this isn't the 90ties anymore. So I really hope that some form of IM support can land in the messaging-app. Personally I only care about XMPP, but as the app already uses telepathy it should be easy to add any other protocol to as soon as one of them has landed. Also we could add support for the Facebook XMPP server like on current Empathy. This would mean an easy transition to the OS for most users and could make up for the fact that Ubuntu touch doesn't support WhatsApp. I have the fear that Ubuntu will go down the road of Android and have an App for every service, which would be horrible (and it is not even possible with the current restrictions afaik). If we have a nice multi-protocol messenger in the style of Google Hangouts or WhatsApp that would be really a killer feature. I remember that Maemo even had a telepathy plugin for Skype that worked pretty well. To come to the point: I would really like to implement this! But I cannot do it by myself. This needs a lot of design work in the messaging-app and I also need people to give me some help on where to start. And even then, this is a LOT of work. So, I would hope that some people will read this and maybe think that they could join me in this task. Additionally, I would like to see support from the Ubuntu Community that this feature is actually wanted. Maybe somebody at Canonical is already working on this? Thanks!

Re: Pipelight in 14.04LTS?
On 12/22/2013 08:49 PM, Scott Ritchie wrote: Pipelight has been working with upstream Wine to get their patches there. But they won't be in a stable release till wine1.8, which will be some years from now. In the meantime the PPA actually works by bundling a second, modified version of Wine only used by pipelight and installed in /opt. This is similar to how ported games that embed Wine work. This is good design as it prevents underlying changes to the system wine (such as a user following the Wine PPA) from breaking pipelight, and also a necessary design as it has to hold their pipelight-specific patches. A distro package would use a similar approach (although perhaps moving the wine-compholio from /opt to /usr/lib/wine-compholio), and then when wine1.8 is released we can evaluate having it just depend on system wine. You're right. I just remember that some people object to packaging two versions of the same library. I personally would prefer if the patches were upstreamed and Ubuntu would add a wine1.7/wine-unstable package like in the wine PPA. That way also people who want the latest wine would benefit from this. However, I guess we are running out of time to do this until feature freeze. -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop

Has this been up to discussion at all? What are the chances it'll make it into official repositories in time? Hi, if I see this correctly Pipelight depends on a patched version of Wine.
