[Bug 393012] Re: smb: Error while copying file, "Invalid argument"
No change here, using AutoFS to mount my shares - they're all still read-only unless I run nautilus with sudo. sca...@groovy:~$ dpkg-query -W smbclient smbclient 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu1 Latest smbclient appears to be installed and my auto.master simply mounts the share using smbclient. Is there something I'm missing here - perhaps something that needs to be updated in the auto.smb script in order to restore Jaunty's read/write behaviour using this new smbclient package?

[Bug 532633] Re: [light-theme] please revert the order of the window controls back to "menu:minimize, maximize, close"
It's taken two years and 116 comments here (https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/metacity/+bug/160311) to make absolutely no progress whatsoever. I doubt we'll be seeing this LTS with buttons on the right. Maybe the next LTS. General "usability" in Ubuntu is pretty low and I think it's down to a complete lack of usability studies. If they /are/ performed, they're being done so privately and the results are remaining private. Until we can see the results of such a study, all we have is one person's opinions against another. And it sounds a lot like Mark's made up his mind on this one - given his comments and participation in this thread and the suspicious timing of this change (on the day of the UI freeze). -- [light-theme] please revert the order of the window controls back to "menu:minimize,maximize,close" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532633 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Nick, if you like them on the, you should change them to the left.

I don't think many people thought this was a vote. We're not voting, we're complaining, in the only manner open to us as members of the community - in a bug report. The problem is that no-one appears to be listening, despite the excellent arguments against this decision. And no-one has yet tried to counter those arguments. That's not good.

Woah! I wouldn't go /that/ far!

[Bug 532633] Re: [Master] Window Control buttons: position/order/alignment
Jeff makes a good point about his wife exclaiming "Can't they leave anything alone??". We had similar immense pain when we upgraded to Office 2007 at my work. The office "ribbon" wasn't just viewed as a waste of developer time by our staff, but also caused actual affront. As if Microsoft had scrapped toolbars and introduced the ribbon very specifically to annoy our staff. A short article corroborating this experience : http://j-walkblog.com/index.php?/weblog/posts/office_2007_training/ (Yes, we upgraded anyway, but by god, yes, we needed a /lot/ of training and nearly two years later, few have anything good to say about the ribbon) As for the latest updates making the buttons theme-dependent, this is kind of good news, but I also worry that even simply offering a theme with buttons on the left will introduce very real support issues. For example, when supporting PC-illiterate staff remotely and without access to VNC/screen control - you may have to ask these people to "move your mouse up to the top right of the window and click on the little "x" button". Well, that's not going to work if they've chosen a radiance theme, is it? A minor point perhaps, but we've been asked for data, so here it is. The way this change was introduced, the blind-siding and subsequent utter silence on the matter and the recent comment spam from Pako and to a less extent, Scholli, have made it extremely difficult for me to see the matter objectively.

@David Siegel, I don't think that the amount of discussion should be a factor on whether this is a papercut or not, nor do I believe that there are "divergent opinions" on this bug - everyone is pretty much saying the same thing - copy/paste in linux is laughably broken and has been for many years.

I love the idea of a transparent border, but I despite ANY snapping behaviour.

Rather, the patch Thomas submitted upstream, which includes a slider to determine border thickness would seem to be a nice stop-gap solution until a transparent (and/or snap) solution can be implemented. -- Resizing windows by grabbing window borders is difficult https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/160311 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Well, the way I understand it is that Thomas' patch doesn't actually change the theme border thickness? It just adds a slider to the theme customisation controls so that those who want a larger border can drag up the width. No "losers" that I can see.

And is your share read-only? That's the issue I'm experiencing with autofs. I'd appreciate it if you could confirm this bug if so. However, I don't think anyone is now tracking this bug. I added the "affects project" for autofs too late after the relevant gvfs issues were fixed. Combined with this bug report : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/211631 which outlines how Karmic is unable to shutdown/restart gracefully when samba shares are specified in /etc/fstab, we now have the depressing situation whereby Karmic is unable to automatically create shares to samba. And this bug : https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/gnome-mount/+bug/388444 which highlights that gvfs shares aren't automatically mounted appears to be dead too. I don't consider gvfs in its current state as much use for a networked PC. My only option at the moment is to consider abandoning samba and implementing NFS instead, although that's not an option I can take at my workplace. I only have Karmic on one of my boxes.

Comment #11 already details how to manually work around this bug. Of course, if you change theme thereafter, you'll have to edit that theme's metactiy-1.xml file too. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/160311/comments/11 I hate to be doom and gloom, but this metacity bug is upstream on gnome : for a couple of reasons, it's unlikely to be fixed ever. The upstream bug had a patch issued Dec 2008 (!), since ignored and the last comment there was January this year. It's much more likely that this will be addressed in Gnome 3. To that end, I'd recommend hacking your themes until then. It's been three and a half years now and nominated for every release of Ubuntu since it was raised, so I can't see anyone taking up this torch when a new Gnome and theme engine are just round the corner. To my mind, the importance (low) of this bug speaks volumes regarding whether it will be fixed.

Public bug reported:

Using Jaunty 9.04 , in System/Preferences/Sound ("Sounds" tab), it's
impossible to change or disable any of the system sounds. Although they
appear to have changed, when you close the window, everything reverts
back to "default".
Workaround : This issue appears to be caused by the "theme", which is by
default blank. Once you've chosen the "Ubuntu" theme, you can make
changes which stick. NOTE: once you have chosen the "Ubuntu" theme, you
can't revert it back to being blank, so if you wish to confirm this bug,
please do so by making a change while the theme is blank, then closing
the window and re-opening.
I wanted to log this against gnome-sound-properties, but there's no
package for that apparently.
