[testing] A couple of bugs I found

[Helder Carreiro]

Hey Everyone,

Gonna try posting this again, was having issues with last email address.

I will post the original post I had:

1 - After Installing 3.11.1 Kernel, The applications screen (Window button)
lags terribly. Someone recommended that I try a different user, and it
worked properly. Seems to happen when using the originally created user
when installing fresh Beta 2 (64bit)+ 3.11.1Kernel.

2 - Doing a fresh install + nvidia driver install (nvidia 319 & 325 drivers
64bit), the network connection icon shows as disconnected, even when I am
not. This in turn doesn't allow me to turn on VPN. There seems to be an
issue with the current nvidia driver and 13.10-64bit, because I cannot
replicate it with 13.04 64bit+nvidia drivers. The most recent nvidia
drivers that I can get to work properly with beta 2 is nvidia's April 304
series drivers using the Xorg-edgers/X-swat ppas. I notice a performance
difference using 304-series versus 319-series playing DOTA2 and Left For
Dead2 on Steam. And I don't know why the network settings panel quits
working with a video card driver install, LOLOL

3 - Doing another fresh install of Beta 2 64bit + 3.11.1 Kernel, then
testing the kernel purge (sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.11.1*), upon
reboot after purging, the computer goes into memtest86+ and runs a test. I
force power off, and reboot and it goes back into memtest86+ and starts
another test. Don't know why it is doing this either.

4 - I was mentioning a screensaver, but I actually meant the screen lock
after idle. There are no settings to turn off the option of screen lock
after idle (which was in the screensaver settings before). I turned it off
by: [code]gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-enabled
false[/code]

These are full installs on bare metal PC using a Beta2-64bit Install DVD.
No VM's or installs through unebootin.

Yes! I've been doing QA Testings with three diferent machines that I have:

1. Quad Core Intel Abit IP35 Pro, Nvidia GTX260
2. Eeepc 1H
3. AMD Athlon X 2 with RADEON HD integrated

The QA Testing tells you to press "Install Gnome", not go into a live
session, and that's the point because the first resolution it finds is
600x800 on one of my machines, and just because of that little extra
height of the title bars on the windows it hides the buttons at the
bottom.

For the specs of my machines the oldest one is the eeepc 1000H and all
the installs work perfectly there, because it finds the 1024x768
resolution first.
I know its the monitors fault, but the normal ubuntu install does not
add the extra height on the windows so you can still see the buttons
on the screen with low resolution.

I was planning to write a review about my machine (Macbook Pro 8,2:
i7-2635QM, Radeon HD 6400M, 8 Gb RAM, 256 SSD) that I use as my work
machine, but over the days I have solved some minor bugs and I could
share my main problems/issues with all of you.

Overall works pretty well but the are some errors that I was able to
solve and others that I are very annoying. I hope that they will be
solved in the coming days/week.

- SOLVED - System status area shows that I'm not connected to any
network even when I'm already connected. With the enormous help of Tim,
we are testing with an upgraded version of network manager from
ppa:darkxst/gnome39 that at some point will land in the staging ppa, and
now I have not problems with that.

- Brightness keyboard keys: With my brightness keyboard keys I can't
change the screen brightness. That's weird because in previous versions
they've been working. I can only change the brightness setting from the
system status area, from g-c-c display panel or by issuing at the
terminal "echo 82311 | sudo tee
/sys/class/backlight/gmux_backlight/brightness". This is quite annoying
if you read the next problem.

- If I unplug my laptop from the power the main screen reduces
brightness to 0. So I can't see anything and I can't change the
brightness with the keyboard (as you can read above). If I connect my
laptop to the power supply the screen gets the previous brightness setting.

- I'm unable to install the fglrx privative driver and get the full
performance and enhanced power management of my graphic card. I don't
mind using the open source driver but when I want to play a game on
Steam there is a huge drain of graphical performance.

Having said that, I can do my daily work with my computer without any
problem and I'm able to enjoy the latest version of Ubuntu and GNOME at
the same time.

Regards.


Please take notice that I'm running the Ubuntu GNOME Beta 2 + all the 
PPAs available to get GNOME 3.10 in this computer.


Rignt now I'm burning a DVD with the Beta 2 to test it in this machine 
without any ppa activated and get a full review of it.

Okay, let me try to understand this clearly.

Are you trying to Install the system?

Did you choose "Try Ubuntu GNOME without installation" OR you chose
"Install Ubuntu GNOME" Directly from the Boot Menu?

Let's hold that until you reply :D

The Q is, not what kind of monitor a user may have, the real Q is what kind
of Hardware a user is using?
Let's keep in mind that Ubuntu GNOME is not for old machines and Notebook
with low hardware specifications? I'd be very very interested to know how
Ubuntu GNOME can perform on these machines :)

Hi Ali,

do you think that our project needs an specialized subgroup when
the Ubuntu Translators team could handle this?


No, we don't need that 'at the moment' :) that is why, I did not
create any sub-group nor sub-team for that. However, I do ask everyone
to contribute to each and every area and the translation is one of
these area. ALL what we have is an empty page:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/Translations but that should not
be for a long time as I see serious will to help from members of this
team.


I don't know a lot of other language teams, but in the Ubuntu
Galician translators team we handle all the Ubuntu spins from there.


I have NO idea whatsoever about anything related to Translation. I
have asked for some help as this area needs some love, and I
volunteered to take care of that Wiki Page but I haven't ever
mentioned I will do any translation :P

So from the Galician team part I don't think that we need to form
a subgroup of us to handle GNOME translations as upstream
translators handle the GNOME side and the Ubuntu ones are handled
by us.

Regards


Yes, our members who are willing to help with Translations need to
approach Ubuntu Translation Team and organize with them. I will
consult some friends and ask them if they have some mates on the
Translation Team.

Thank you!

No, we don't need that 'at the moment' :) that is why, I did not create any
sub-group nor sub-team for that. However, I do ask everyone to contribute
to each and every area and the translation is one of these area. ALL what
we have is an empty page:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/Translationsbut that should not be
for a long time as I see serious will to help from
members of this team.

I have NO idea whatsoever about anything related to Translation. I have
asked for some help as this area needs some love, and I volunteered to take
care of that Wiki Page but I haven't ever mentioned I will do any
translation :P

Yes, our members who are willing to help with Translations need to approach
Ubuntu Translation Team and organize with them. I will consult some friends
and ask them if they have some mates on the Translation Team.

Thank you!

Hi,

Thank you so much for stepping in, I do appreciate that :)
That is the spirit we need in each and every area ;)

I am sure others will jump in to help you!

The Wiki Area is a Documentation Area and Help Area and also a Support Area
all at the same time. It helps each and everyone as the first quick
reference for any issue and of course, the more information which must be
up-to-date, the better and strong Wiki Area it will be.
When it comes to Translation Page:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/Translations

Please, let's keep in mind that there will be NO translations whatsoever to
be made on that area. We are NOT going to translate the Wiki Area, as far
as I'm thinking, and as far as I know, as per this page:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations the point is to do a translation for
the System itself.

While I am a Wiki Person, I am way too far from being a Translator and that
is why, I have included this link: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations on
our page.

Our page (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/Translations) will discuss
our activities, plans, etc for the Translation process.

Please, let's ALL keep in mind that we are building a Team right now. We
are recruiting. We are forming an empire called Ubuntu GNOME Team and this
will never be done in one day ;) Roma wasn't built in few days :)

Having that said, patient my friends and let's take it easy but work hard
side by side.

Technically, and someone may correct me if I am wrong, the translations
need to be done on Launchpad.

I strongly recommend to have a look at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations

And if you guys have any Q 'related to translation', it would be much
better to ask Ubuntu Translation Team.

Thank you!

P.S.
Don't worry about formatting the page, once we build it and have some text,
we can polish it then :)

Hi Ali,

do you think that our project needs an specialized subgroup when the 
Ubuntu Translators team could handle this?


I don't know a lot of other language teams, but in the Ubuntu Galician 
translators team we handle all the Ubuntu spins from there. So from the 
Galician team part I don't think that we need to form a subgroup of us 
to handle GNOME translations as upstream translators handle the GNOME 
side and the Ubuntu ones are handled by us.

Hello

I am using saucy 64bit with latest updates from gnome3-staging PPA with

I did not experience your issue. The only issue I saw so far is that the

Ok,

thanks for your information. I will try to figure out if I have some 
weird configuration that make it not to work properly.


I think that the background issue doesn't have relation with the 
graphic card driver as I'm experiencing it as well, and I'm using the 
open source driver.

Hi All,

This is for Ubuntu-Gnome 13.10 64bit Beta2

These might have been posted already, but here goes:

1 - Upon completion of fresh install, the note to remove the install
disk, is not there.


Known bug. Thanks for reporting.


2 - After installing kernel 3.11.1, the applications screen lags
terribly. The network icon disappeared completely. Cannot change the
background, cannot access the settings menu. The kernel was installed by
itself from fresh install.


Can you test with a new user, just in case you have a setting that could 
interfere with that.



3 - After installing video card driver install (Xorg-edgers ppa) the
network icon shows as disconnected all the time. The drivers were
installed by itself from fresh install.


I think that the testing program is about testing stock experience 
without ppas installed in order to polish all the bugs. I don't think 
that graphic card drivers could interfere with the network stack.
On other hand, you have to take in consideration that xorg-edgers is a 
PPA quite unstable.



4 - After upgrading to 3.10 gnome shell, The top right user access
panel, doesn't render properly.


Same as previous bug.


5 - Doing a upgraded kernel purge back to stock, I get the memtest86
memory testing screen upon reboot all the time. cannot get around it.


Could you clarify a little about this.


6 - would be nice to create desktop shortcuts from right click menu.


This is the default behaviour in GNOME. But, if you want to put 
shortcuts in the desktop you can enable this by using gnome-tweak-tool 
under the Desktop section.



7 - Where is the screensaver settings?


GNOME doesn't have screensaver (and its settings) from GNOME 3.0.

When reporting bugs in GNOME 3.10 (take notice that 3.8 is the version 
included in Beta 2) please send them in another mail, this could help us 
to differentiate all the sent mails.


Thanks for reporting all these errors.

I don't know about the rest but I last mentioned this here:

https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-gnome/2013-September/000800.html

I can say it effects Lubuntu and Ubuntu as well as Ubuntu GNOME.

I seem to see that more reliably when starting an installation from the
main menu rather than from the live DE.

Hello,

I will take care of the translations, I have some ideas and I will share all of 
them with all the members. Of course, I need help here, because I don't know 
hundred languages ;D

Ali, I need to talk with you about the formatting of the translations page, 
because you are a moderator and editor of the wiki pages for the project and I 
want to hear (read) your requirements, recommendations, advices. Because all 
the pages have to be with the same style and formatting.

[Developers Wiki Page] Needs some love and care!

[Ali Linx (amjjawad)]

Hi,

I have moved the PPA from:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME

To:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/Developers

Now, please, note that I am NOT a developer. My Areas of Involvements [1]
with Ubuntu Communities are way too far from Developing and/or Programming
:)

So, I'd appreciate if we could have something maybe like:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Developers

Or much simple.

If we are looking for more Developers to join and help, we need to give
them something to read :) I've been always approached by some interested
people who are asking about that can they do for us regarding development
but I don't have the right answer for them (because I am not a developer).

Thank you!
