[Bug 35217] Re: no indication when login fails due to lack of disk space

2006-12-04 Thread chombee
I don't seem able to change the priority of this bug. I really don't think it should be set to 'low' though. The bug can effect anyone who fills up their disk, and leaves them completely unable to login, even to search for help, assuming they don't know how to use text mode, which most don't. They

I had a user with this same problem. In his case, he filled up the disk by downloading stuff, then the next time he booted the computer GNOME fails to start, just dumps you back at GDM with no explanation. He had an essay to write and had absolutely no idea why his computer had completely stopped w

2006-08-05 Thread chombee
It's definitely a usability problem, rather than a feature request. It can be solved either by setting the disc capacity automatically or reminding the user that they have to do it themselves. In the current situation, my bet is that most users will fail to set the disc capacity and will burn sever

If serpentine can be patched so that it does autodetect the disc capacity, then I suggest moving the disc capacity widget from the front of the GUI (make it uneditable instead). Because all the user can do by altering the disc capacity is break it. If it has to be manually alterable in some cas

No, it's not network issues. If I create a 'Connect to Server' bookmark on my desktop for the remote account, it seems to work fine. If I create a 'Places' bookmark, remove the 'Connect to Server' bookmark. log out and log in again, then try to access the Places bookmark, it freezes. Here is the o

Another thing (perhaps this should be a separate bug)... when I have remote volume icons on my desktop for these SSH folders they remain after log outs and restarts, and have an 'unmount' option. Is nautilus automatically opening SSH connections and mounting these volumes when I log in? How come i

This is really weird, my 'Network Servers' bookmark to my SSH remote account is now working fine with nautilus.

I don't have any WebDAV or SMB shares. I tried accessing another remote account in nautilus over private FTP, and that works fine (the same account hangs using SSH). Remote editing with Gedit is fine, using the same remote account and over SSH (it's a pretty cool new feature too). On Mon, 2006-06

I'd like the severity of this bug increased at some point. Colour blindness affects a significant number of people (up to 10% of males in some cultures), and I can attest that these icons are very inaccessible for people with at least my form of colour blindness (red-green). Also see bug #45241.
