new artwork difficult to discern active window
Under the old clearlooks, the active window had a different titlebar color than inactive windows. As much as I like the new color combo in lucid, it's difficult to use it because everything is too similar between inactive and active windows. I can't tell you how many times I've already closed the wrong window by mistake. Sorry to have to say, but I am already going to another theme. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem. Also, if you're right handed, it's a nuisance to have to move the mouse to the top left to close a window. thanks, though for at least trying .. paul -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
Keyboard issues with Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 and VMWare Workstation 7.0
I confirmed this today and thought I'd share with the group. Here are the details: http://communities.vmware.com/message/1515622#1515622 I had similar problem in that the mouse worked on the gdm login screen but the keyboard did not. I was able to login using the on-screen keyboard. I enabled the on-screen keyboard via the universal access preferences, (little man-in-circle button on gdm screen). Also had to reboot to get the keyboard to display properly. Once logged in the regular keyboard worked fine. I found the :0-greeter.log file in /var/log/gdm had errors complaining about not find symbols for "U.S. English" keyboard layout in us keyboard file. A little grepping later finds "U.S. English" is set in /etc/default/console-setup. XKBMODEL="SKIP" XKBLAYOUT="us" XKBVARIANT="U.S. English" XKBOPTIONS="" XKBMODEL="pc105" XKBLAYOUT="us" XKBVARIANT="" XKBOPTIONS="" Reboot and keyboard now works at login. Don't know if this is VMware's or Ubuntu's fault during install, since I used the auto install process in Workstation 7. Sounds like it could be VMware related as a manual install seems to avoid this. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
Re: Keyboard issues with Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 and VMWare Workstation 7.0
Hello Dave, Dave Anderson [2010-04-27 10:15 -0700]: > XKBMODEL="SKIP" This is tracked in https://launchpad.net/bugs/548891, I hope to fix it soon. It's rooted at a weird keyboard handling in VMWare's installation scripts, but since it affects so many people we'll add a workaround (also for lucid, in an update) Martin -- Martin Pitt| http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer (www.ubuntu.com) | Debian Developer (www.debian.org) -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
