Gnome login screen art is too bright.
Ok, just before the final release I would like to point the attention to a small but in my opinion important detail. During beta the login screen art was changed to make it brighter. I filed a bug about this in launchpad since on a LCD/TFT screen this looks really bad. The bug is here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-gdm-themes/+bug/211740 Unfortunately on the eve of release, no one bothered to have a look at this and I fear that this will leave a bad impression of the distribution as far as art design goes. Maybe not a critical bug, but it is the representation of how Ubuntu wants to advertise itself. The change would be minor (just switching back to the original art of earlier in beta) and the effects would be positive for the overall impression Ubuntu would give on new and old users alike. Could you guys please fix this annoying bug, it really looks very unprofessional the way it is now. The original art earlier in beta (or maybe it was alpha, I don't recall) looked so much better than what is in the distro right now. Thanks for your attention in these last hectic moments before the release of the final. Marc ps. Aside from this I do would like to compliment all on the great product that has been made. Albeit some small bugs that are still to be found here and there, overall Ubuntu gives a very solid and stable impression on me.

I use HumanList,and I just compared the background.png for each of them like this: eog /usr/share/gdm/themes/Human*/background.png and WOW the regular Human theme has really light bursts. It looks nearly white, which I agree is way too light. Does HumanList use Human's old background? If so, I agree it should go back to that one. It's the same for me as for you, I really think this needs to be changed. The older one was so much better. -- 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: anyone else seeing X breakage with this AM's hardy updates?
Yes, I'm having issues as well. I just now applied the updates and for starters transparency is not working well. Applets that have transparency show thin white borders. I'm still looking into what else is not working properly, but there are definately issues.

Problems with SELinux
Dear all, Since I don't know where else to put this problem I ran into and I cannot specify it clearly enough to file a bug report, I'm sending it to this mail group. I've been testing Hardy since early alpha 6. I also tried installing SELinux according to the specifications of the Ubuntu SELinux wiki (run sudo apt-get install selinux) and it worked flawlessly for me at the time. Today I tried it again on a current up to date beta of hardy. I call it a clean install since I haven't manually changed anything and have only installed packages with apt that I normally do by default through a script, to not have to do everything manually. This time however, after rebooting and having the labeling finish, I was welcomed with a message telling me HAL failed to initialize. On top of that, while it was first loading, the whole gnome menu disappeared and left me with nothing but an empty desktop. Immagine Alt+F2 didn't work either. I managed to work around this and get a terminal going, tried to restart HAL, but got permission errors from SELinux telling me that this user was not allowed to, etc. Needless to say, lots of things were not working (at some point even my ethernet adapter was blocked) and in the end, I removed SELinux in order to be able to use my system. Hence I don't have all the detailed info one could wish for in order to file a bug report. Due to lack of time and wanting to be sure things would run properly I went ahead and did a reinstall. As a result of this I'm under the impression that the policies that came with alpha 6, which worked fine for me, must have been changed one way or another and now don't work for me anymore. Is this something that can be confirmed by the ones that are working on the implementation of SELinux? Together with that, when can we expect configuration tools for SELinux like the ones one finds in Fedora? It really is very user unfriendly and complex to work with SELinux and try to configure it with the tools, let alone without those. Thanks in advance for your time and attention.

Hardy: After update of yesterday jockey-gtk crashes while trying to install proprietary driver.
I'm using this mail group to focus on a certain bug that surfaced after one of the updates from yesterday and it seems to be quite common. The Hardware Driver manager in Ubuntu crashes when trying to install drivers and effectively doesn't install anything. Could someone please have a look at this Bug #186883 bug report, because the list of confirms is growing rapidly and no one of the devs has looked at it yet, by the looks of it. I just installed my hardware ATI driver manually, but I recon that many people must be stuck trying to install it at this point.
