I was actually thinking about this the other day; why wasn't Gnome panel applet support included as part of the transition to Unity? Something like is currently available for XFCE: http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/xfce4-xfapplet-plugin CK -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss There's a system monitor that does exactly that. It's attached to an indicator and the user can click it to show the system load. Don't remember its name tho, but searching for monitor indicator ubuntu or something like that should bring up some results. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
Re: Ogv support in software center
That's a great idea actually! 2010/10/29, Chris Hardee shazz...@gmail.com: It's probably been talked about before, but as proposed here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GamesIntegration I think we need add ogv/movie support in software-center to show off games and some applications (I'm thinking like CAD software and such so users can get a feel for how interactive it is). In fact I think we should have the application page be a webkit widget and possibly have html5 interaction. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
Re: Welcome to the Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list
Hi all, I'm León. I'm helping a friend to update to Karmic over IM. I've noticed a few... not bugs, but little problems. For example, the update manager for him showed at first 8 minutes left. Then it changed to 34, then to 9 again. In my opinion, the timing should be calculated having in mind the lowest KB/s ever received in the upgrade process, and then, slowly, cut off time if the network keeps stable and reaches high speeds. I think that the user shouldn't have remaining time displayed, but maximum remaining time instead. For example, if I'm in a hurry and only have 1 hour left with the computer, and I want to know if the process will complete, I prefer it to tell me it will take 1 hour and 5 minutes if it's gonna take 55 minutes, because there can be a lot of problems in the downloading process. Problems like unstable WiFi, stolen WiFi, messy cables, etc. Second. When the update manager detects a new version, don't just display a passive banner. It would be better if a OSD notification was displayed, showing the update manager icon. This notification would be displayed once or twice a week for 4 weeks, after that time, everything notifying of a new version would be disabled, while the end user could still update manually. I'm afraid i haven't been as clear as I wanted to be. If you need me to clear something out, please reply and I will try to explain. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
