This is due to this bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735311 Basically, google changed the way http requests are handled. There is a patch available for 3.10, which should work for ubuntu 14.04, here: https://bug735311.bugzilla- attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=284624 Debi

I just realized that this bug was reported *before* google changed the http handling, so the bug reporter might have been experiencing a different problem. Nevertheless, the problem exists now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscr

It looks like the bug I linked to above in comment #3 might be a duplicate of a different bug in evolution-data-server. Google has changed the way it handles http authentication, breaking online accounts functionality. evolution-data-server bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735311

It looks like the xfa situation isn’t as dire as I’d been led to understand. OTOH, I’m not entirely certain that the licence text in the preface of the pdf referenced in comment #9 is GPL-compatible. Or even DFSG- compatible. In any case (unless Albert things otherwise), it probably should not b

Adobe would have to document XFA forms before this even could be addressed. The most up to date info I could find on that front is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFA#Standardization As long as Adobe keeps XFA forms proprietary they are not potable and livecycle and acroread are the only way t

Dmitriy: Yes it is a dirty hack :) I don't know of any other applications that would increment the backlight up and down, and GNOME's ability to set the brightness to a specific percentage (without going through steps inbetween) *should* still be functional with it...although even the unpatched g

This patch is for GNOME 3.2 that permanently disables gnome-settings- deamon's ability to step-up and step-down the backlight. For those who still can't get the correct brightness steps, this is a workaround. It works perfectly on my Lenovo Thinkpad x220. I'm not usually a code hacker or patcher

While this bug doesn't affect solving the Sudoku puzzle, it leaves a bad impression--especially for a newbie, who may try playing the game during his/her initial trial of Ubuntu. After all, timing how long it took you to solve the puzzle is 'obviously' easy. E.g., just save computer's clock at star
