[Bug 968425] Re: Pidgin looks closed, but remains running hidden

2014-01-16 Thread bedhead75
PLEASE fix this BUG! This just happened to me the other day! It's also a SECURITY issue. Pidgin continues to run in the background even after it's been closed as described. Other users on my computer were able to access my contacts list after a chat window opened up in an unexpected manner. Su

2010-05-18 Thread bedhead75
I can confirm the font corruption issue too, using Compiz, Nvidia 195.xx drivers, no twinview, and subpixel smoothing. The font corruption is serious enough to render OpenOffice almost unuseable. Changing to "Best Shapes" does correct the problem but it isn't an intuitive fix, and makes a very ba

I can confirm that this happens to me running a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit). I'm using the 195 .xxx Nvidia drivers that were installed with jockey. When running "top", I can see that the %CPU of Xorg process shoots up when scrolling through certain pages. This happens with Compiz on o

I can confirm this too, using the linux-image-2.6.32-21-generic kernel in Ubuntu 10.04. The rt3070sta driver was working just fine using Ubuntu 9.10. I have no idea why this changed. The latest rt3070sta drivers from Ralink don't seem to properly work with this kernel as it still tries to load

I can confirm this bug too when trying to boot Lucid beta 2 from the Live CD. Having two monitors connected to a Nvidia card hangs the boot process exactly as described. There is no hang when only one monitor is plugged in. -- System fails to boot with plymouth installed (nouveau driver with >1

I've had this problem in 64-bit Karmic as well. Using gnome-do allows me to reproduce this bug reliably. I don't think I've seen an upstream bug report for this. I don't know whether it's a problem with Gnome, Nautilus, Gnome-do, or Xorg, and what and if any log files would show the source of th

I can confirm that I'm also having the same problem with the native rtl8187 driver that comes with the 2.6.31 kernel in Ubuntu 9.10, and I'm also using the same wireless Alfa AWUS036H USB adapter. I have an important piece of information that hasn't been reported yet, which might help with finding

It appears that after resuming from suspend, I have to leave my computer on for an entire 24 hours before it checks for updates "daily". Ideally update manager should check for updates immediately after resuming from suspend if 24 hours have passed since the last time the computer was on, and not

I also forgot to add that pressing escape closes the error window but still doesn't take it out of dragging mode to restore mouse functionality. I still have to killall gnome-panel. Someone new to Ubuntu probably wouldn't know where to begin especially if alt-ctrl- backspace was disabled by defau

You're right about why docky hides when this error window pops up, but I just figured out what the "real" problem is and how to trigger it 100% of the time and not 50% of the time as I had stated earlier. Actually whether you want to call it 100% or 50% of the time has more to do with how you

Yes, it's very reproducible on my system. I have gnome-do running in docky mode, and autohide is enabled. Compiz is also running of course. This seems to happen about 50% of the time in the process of dragging an icon from the applications menu into the dock to create a launcher in the dock. It
