[Bug 1335492] Re: [4.11.8] Desktop icons rearrange on each login

2022-03-12 Thread Colin Hemming
I have 4.14 installed on Xubuntu 20.04 and it has still been happening recently. I think it only happens when there are many icons to deal with. It works fine as long as the desktop starts very rapidly, but if it takes any time they get reset. -- You received this bug notification because you are

2021-09-06 Thread Colin Hemming
I have been having the same issue with Xubuntu 20.04. There are two instances being added in the session (restart if running). Sometimes it opens the interface, other times the two start so close together that they trip over each other and one produces an error window creating the lock file in /run

@Gunnar Is the report better now, or still need fixing? I read the link you sent me, but while it may be very technical, it's far from clear to a user at my level. This is the first bug I've reported from scratch, so I'm happy to learn, just ignorant! :) Sorry for the delay in response, my ISP ma

Public bug reported: I have a couple of backups, over ssh, to a machine which is not accessible 24/7. Since upgrading my system to 20.04 from 18.04, the included version of backintime-qt, presumably checking the integrity of settings, closes the backup settings dialog but does not save any changes

Public bug reported: I installed this in a fresh install of Xubuntu 20.04.1 and, while it installs, the file to which it links: /usr/bin/smart-notifier -> ../share/smart-notifier/smart-notifier does not exist, so it does not function at all! -- Description:Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Release:2

2019-10-02 Thread Colin Hemming
I would find this incredibly helpful, but would also love to be able to also dismiss something by ID. That way a "Processing..." notification could be displayed indefinitely, then removed when the process behind completed. As someone seems to have already patched this it would be fantastic to see

2019-05-01 Thread Colin Hemming
I have now written a patch script to deal with this problem on my machine as it's been like this for many years with no progress. I don't understand the internals, but it occurs 100% when the desktop starts laying out icons before the underlying system has read the configuration (it occasionally ge

The cause was identified long ago https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfdesktop4/+bug/1335492/comments/41 but still no one has applied a fix. I have two scripts.

2017-10-30 Thread Colin Hemming
I have recently installed a Manjaro machine and installed this from source as it's not in the Manjaro repositories. The code for autotrash has been changed and improved. As a result, this bug is no longer an issue with the latest version. To fix and improve this, the source just needs to be brought

2017-09-09 Thread Colin Hemming
The problem is not entirely that files are not created in /tmp, but rather that nothing cleans them up in the event of a crashed or killed process. I also see these files in the current directory as well as tmp and .cache As these directories are prefixed with a dot, less technical users will prob

Seems to me that simply calling whatever function loads the icon positions after the rest xfdesktop has finished starting up would solve most of this. To prevent the position file being corrupted while starting (as it currently does) the file *should only be written out when the user expressly plac

Still present in Xubuntu 16.04 I'm not greatly experienced with Python and globbing, but this seems to fix it by making two passes; firstly for files without the dot prefix and secondly with the prefix... --Replace-- for file_name in glob.iglob(os.path.join(trash_info_path, '*.trashinfo')): ...
