[Bug 278585] Re: Upgrade to Intrepid removes Synaptics touchpad vertical scrolling
I am having the same problem: my touchpad worked fine in Hardy, but *mostly* doesn't work in Intrepid. If I repeatedly try to scroll (move up and down at the right side of my touchpad) I can get it to scroll a little bit. This makes me think that vertical scrolling is on, but the tolerances are not correct so inputs are not being recognized properly. I am using a Dell Inspiron 1420. (purchased with pre-loaded ubuntu) and have just upgraded to Intrepid beta. -- Upgrade to Intrepid removes Synaptics touchpad vertical scrolling https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278585 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 278585] Re: Upgrade to Intrepid removes Synaptics touchpad vertical scrolling
Fixed! The odd behavior I was getting when I kept trying to scroll was because my finger would occasionally register at a point on the pad that was close enough to the "right edge" to be considered a scroll. Let me explain: The touchpad registers an (x,y) coordinate whenever you touch it; then this is compared to the previous position to get a mouse movement or to the "edge" of the touchpad to determine if its a scroll gesture. What I think has been happening is the syntaptics driver is deciding what x coordinate that edge has in a different way. Manually setting the x coordinate of that edge did the trick for me. Here's how: 1) turn on "SHMConfig" in your xorg.conf file (this makes synclient work) 2) run synclient -m 1000 - this program will tell you what the touchpad is currently registering. Use it to get your min and max x and y values. 3) Use those values to manually set the edges in xorg.conf: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad" Driver "synaptics" Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "VertEdgeScroll" "1" Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "1" Option "SHMConfig" "true" Option "LeftEdge" "40" # x_min Option "RightEdge" "935" # x_max Option "TopEdge" "40" # y_min Option "BottomEdge" "690" # y_max EndSection 4) Reboot X and repeat: I had to try several settings before I found the right ones, so play with the values. It doesn't matter if your left and top edges are too low, but you don't want your right and bottom too high or else it wont work. You can also use synclient -l to get your current edge positions, if you'd like to start there instead. About the HorizEdgeScroll: I'm not sure what's going on there, but I don't know if these settings are used. I tried using "VertTwoFingerScroll" "1" and it didn't work at all. I hope this works for you. -blue -- Upgrade to Intrepid removes Synaptics touchpad vertical scrolling https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278585 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 278585] Re: Upgrade to Intrepid removes Synaptics touchpad vertical scrolling
I'm not sure where to attribute this. It depends on where the change in edge calculation is taking place. I don't think that a fresh install would have helped, especially if this is the same problem that James is having (if so, edges are calculated when X comes up?). James: I'd be interested to see if this solution works for you too, perhaps the edge calculation is coming up differently when you have been suspended? Can you run synclient before and after and see if your edges are coming up differently? Either way, I think the solution is to extend the System > Preferences > Mouse tool. There's nothing in there about calibrating where the edges of your touchpad are, but if we're having these troubles, then perhaps there should be. I'm sure there's a pattern to the min/max stuff that we're doing with synclient, so it wouldn't be too bad to extend the tool to have an edge calibration feature. Perhaps more; the current tool seems bare. -- Upgrade to Intrepid removes Synaptics touchpad vertical scrolling https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278585 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 278585] Re: Upgrade to Intrepid removes Synaptics touchpad vertical scrolling
James, First, nice find with the synaptics touchpad thing, I bet whomever put that on the wiki can shed a bit more insight into what's going on here. For now though, I think `synclient -l` output would be more informative. What you have here is the `synclient -m n` output, which just shows the current position that the touchpad is reading (if I read the man page right), so it makes sense that its different. I could just be mis- interpreting what you pasted---did you capture specific finger positions before and after suspend?

[Bug 278585] Re: Upgrade to Intrepid removes Synaptics touchpad vertical scrolling
No worries. What's interesting is that they're the same, and that my settings (from a Dell Insprion 1420) were the same--at least I'm pretty sure they were! I'm not at all sure why it works after suspend for you, does setting these values specifically in xorg.conf fix the problem for you? But, it is interesting that the edge calculations for both machines were the same. I hope this isn't something that would affect all Dell users, that could be really bad for the 8.10 release.

[Bug 13727] Re: network-admin locations do not get saved correctly
I could add the following : - nm-applet knows about WPA protected wireless networks, but the gnome tool does NOT. - gnome tool does know about profiles (which is good) but network manager does not. The big problem here is that for mobile users there is no easy way to switch between various kinds of network profiles. For example, I have two wired locations, one with static address A one with address B; I have another wireless location, WPA protected, using static addreess A as above. I have another wireless location, WPA protected where I use static address B as in the first example; I might also have yet another location using dhcp,and so on. I cannot use network manager & friends because it does not seem to be able to : - support static addresses - it always uses dhcp. - support profiling, that is switching static addresses and other settings on the same interface. I cannot use the gnome tool either, because : - it does not correctly save prefferences, as stated by the bug reporters above (And I confirm the behaviour) - it is unable to set up WPA protected wireless networks. Given these facts I would rate the bug a little higher then "medium" because a mobile user is unable to use any of the tools. I personally use as a workaround the interface mapping scheme (man interfaces) which allows me to switch between more networking profiles. However, this method is not gui integrated, so I have to use a terminal to switch profiles. But... at least it does work. PS : The interface mapping scheme can be further improved to automatically sense the network where you are in and chose settings automatically. -- network-admin locations do not get saved correctly https://launchpad.net/bugs/13727 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 5364] Re: Can't use static ip address with network-manager
... it should support both static addresses AND network profiles for mobile users. Further, there should be only one way to set up network interfaces :network-admin or network manager. As I posted on another bug report, network admin can do some things but miserably fails at others and viceversa for network manager. This makes using any of the tools impossible for certain setups. The way I see this is a tool that works above the classic debian "interfaces" network config system, which allows both automatic network sellection, allows profiles, etc. network admin and network manager on the other hand have serious shortcomings : -NM does not know about /etc/network/interfaces - which very hard sucks. - NM does not allow multiple network profiles - NA knows about interfaces file which is good. - NA knows about network profiles but is very buggy at this, and it does not use the standard interfaces mapping scheme for profiles, which again sucks as it can create a lot of confusions and problems. - NA does not know about WPA (it only knows WEP ) when configuring wireless interfaces. This again sucks, as WEP is quite buggy and WPA is used now for secure networks. So, for a highly (laptop) mobile user, who moves into a lot of networks, both wired and wireless, sometimes having the same ip in two different networks (not simultaneously, of course), sometimes using dhcp sometimes not, etc there is a very high need for a smarter tool that : - Will not be entirely on its own (should rely on the standard debian infrastructure as much as possible and not try to reinvent the wheel) - Will not be dependent on user to login or have a graphic environment to work (think servers !) - Will support WPA for wireless cards -Will support multiple profiles, both wired and wireless -will support both static and dynamic addresses. -- Can't use static ip address with network-manager https://launchpad.net/bugs/5364 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 59695] Re: default value in power.sh potentially kills laptop disks
I confirm this and more : same behaviour on a _desktop_ computer. This because on that desktop on_ac_power returns nonzero and the system thinks it's running on batteries. The actual hdparm setting is here : /etc/apm/event.d/20hdparm This creates TWO new bugs : 1. first one is that this script runs AFTER /etc/init.d/hdparm so if we set -S0 in /etc/hdparm.conf to disable this behaviour , the setting will have no effect as it will be overset by 20hdparm 2. second bug is that in /etc/apm/event.d/20hdparm line 64 the script does not treat the case where on_ac_power returns 255 (could not determine state). In this case, the power conserve mode should NOT be activated. Anyway, as a temporary workaround you can edit /etc/apm/event.d/20hdparm and set on line 32 APMD_SPINDOWN to a saner value. Also, it would be nice to move this parameter in /etc/default so that it is cleanly configurable. -- default value in power.sh potentially kills laptop disks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/59695 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 59695] Re: default value in power.sh potentially kills laptop disks
I think this deserves a greater importance than "wishlist". A value of 18 for hdparm -S translates to 90 seconds, and this is insane, because even let to idle the system will try write to the disks every 2..4 minutes. That means that the disk idles for 90 seconds and spins down and after another 90 seconds the system wants to write on it and it spins it up again. So, even with an idle system the hard disk will be spinned up 90 seconds and spinned down the next 90.

I would rather suggest to modify /etc/apm/event.d/20hdparm and at line 32 instead of APMD_SPINDOWN=18 put APMD_SPINDOWN=180 # 15 minutes instead of 90 seconds. You can also set /etc/hdparm.conf, but as long as the apmd service is activated the setting in /etc/hdparm.conf will be useless, so if you modify hdparm.conf please don't forget to make sure that hdparm is executed at boot (use rcconf,update-rc.d or services admin for that) AND make sure that you either modify the APMD_SPINDOWN or disable the apmd service using the previously mentioned rc tools. I had a longer discussion with Martin by email and he had apmd disabled - that's why his hdparm.conf setting was not overset. Anyway, 90 seconds is insane as default value. And I also want to reiterate that the same apm script incorrectly assumes a on-battery configuration when it can't actually figure out if we are running on ac power or on battery (the special case 255 returned by on_ac_power ). -- default value in power.sh potentially kills laptop disks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/59695 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

There is (almost) no firmware and/or bios issue here. It's the OS's scripts that set insane defaults. As about aggressive power management settings - let's not forget that a hard drive is a delicate mechanical piece of equipment that spins at 5400 or 7200 rotations per minute.

[Bug 59695] Re: default value in power.sh potentially kills laptop disks
I have _very_ big doubts that any hard disk (even a laptop one) is supposed to spin down after only 20..30 seconds of idle time. If you can sustain this "it's supposed to be that way" with an official manufacturer specification or statement I would greatly apreciate it. As far as I know, repeated on-off cycles are more stressing to the device than simply letting it run. Searching about this spinning problem on Western Digital's site I found that some of their drives spin down after 10 minutes of inactivity. This is by far a better default that the one I found is set by the OS's power management scripts. If you look above at my experiment you will find that those scripts execute hdparm -S4 which translates in 20 SECONDS of inactivity before spinning down. This IS insane comparing with 10 minutes. Even more, on the same manufacturer's site I found a document where they say that respinning up a harddisk takes a lot of power (the current peaks at about 1A) which means that if it's needed/done too frequently it basically nulls any power economy you would make by spinning the drive down in the first place... WD knows this and this is why on some of their products the idle timeout is set to 10 minutes and not to 20 seconds. And I am very sure that the other manufacturers are also aware about this and will not set impossible timeouts that actually do not help them obtain a better medium power consumption. After all, the whole point is to spin the disk down when the probability that the disk will not be needed again too soon is high enough. -- default value in power.sh potentially kills laptop disks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/59695 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 59695] Re: default value in power.sh potentially kills laptop disks
Kamil Páral : You are right that laptop disks are much more suitable for increased spin up/down cycles (with about 600k supported by seagate drives) . However, keep in mind that due to another bug added to this one, even desktop computers with desktop drives can end with this kind of settings, AND the 20 seconds idle set by ubuntu's scripts is WAY too small . It makes no sense, the user could just be reading something on the display - this is not idle time. Most likely after another minute he will do something else and the drive will have to be spinned up again. Besides the fact that spinning up takes more energy and nullifies the power saved by stopping the drive, the respin process takes another 4..5 seconds for the usual laptop drive (checked specs on WD for example), and this 4..5 seconds wait every few minutes is annoying for the user. I fully sustain the iddea of reducing power consumption, but let's do this in a way that really makes sense. Look what I found on WD's knowledge base regarding external hard disks (these are often targeted to laptop users, and also often use actual laptop drives in usb enclosures : "The initial power-on process is generally harder on the internal components of a hard drive than spinning for extended periods. However, Western Digital drives are designed to handle either scenario. Most users outgrow their drive before repeated turning on and off becomes a problem. Turning on the drive a few times per day is considered normal usage and should not pose any problems. If a drive is turned on and off excessively on a daily basis, this could affect the longevity of the hard drive’s components." This is from Western Digital's knowledge base. It refers to external drives, but these are often laptop drives in usb enclosures. -- default value in power.sh potentially kills laptop disks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/59695 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 59695] Re: default value in power.sh potentially kills laptop disks
Gilles, I think the root of the both evils is common :) On a desktop computer, spinning down and then spinning up the hard disk produced the same annoying "clank". If I had a newer and quieter hard drive on that machine I could have missed this problem ... (or at least realize it only later by the spinup delay).Because the noise I found it just about an hour after installing the new release on this machine :) I myself solved the problem by setting hdparm.conf and disabling apmd and acpid (unneeded on that machine). So I'm not affected by this problem any more myself. Now, we must make the difference between the following parameters : 1.Start/Stop Count and 2.Load/Unload Cycle Count The first counts how many times the hard drive entered sleep mode OR was fully stopped/powered off. The second one counts the number of times the heads were parked in the landing area. You can get the heads to go to the landing area and keep the platters spinning, but you cannot spin down without parking the heads. So, wherever you spin down the drive both of those smart parameters are incremented. When the drive is just parked, only Load/Unload Cycle Count is incremented. While a lot of parking is not bad, a lot of start/stops are bad. The <> in the power management scripts that I'm pointing my finger at controlls the spinup/spindown and not just the parking of the heads. And the default timeout for that is not only uninspired, but potentially dangerous. This is what actually has the greatest potential to kill the drive prematurely. So, in your smartctl output look for a high start/stop count , not for a high load/unload count . These are the values for my laptop that still runs Dapper : 4 Start_Stop_Count0x0012 100 100 000Old_age Always - 749 12 Power_Cycle_Count 0x0032 100 100 000Old_age Always - 386 193 Load_Cycle_Count0x0012 036 036 000Old_age Always - 646281 The hard drive is only about 1 year old.

And this is bad. Also, I don't find smart to try to bring down the disk every 20 seconds because it is very likely that you will have to respin it very, very soon later because of user activity or system activity (there are a lot of files that are open and appended at, varios logs, xsession-errors and so on).

Anyway, it seems that we have actually more problems. It is the Load/Unload period -which we should address by putting a hdparm -B with an appropriate value, and the spindown timeout which we should address so that it really makes sense and does not creates a situation where even let idle the system will get spinned/downspinned every minute or two. If someone really needs that kind of power saving then he/she should consider solid state disks which are more appropriate for economy. The third problem would be that on systems where the battery status cannot be determined, to NOT activate extreme power management schemes, because the system could be a desktop (with a drive not appropriate for extreme power management) or a server...

[Bug 17216] Re: Hard drive spindown should be configurable
A default gutsy install has : ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE_ON_BATTERY=1 So, when on battery those settings are applied. Unfortunately, even when the "on battery" status cannot be tested (on_ac_power returns 255) the system implies a "on battery" status and activates laptop mode. Even on battery (for real) , the settings applied are too aggressive, IMHO. Please look at the related bug (59695) and see that I made a test by replacing hdparm with a script and logged the results. Despite the system being a desktop system, those hdparm -S settings are aplied...more than once and (that's funny) with different values :) - true, all in apm/laptop-mode related scripts, but no one enabled laptop-mode on this system, it's a clean default install. If someone wants to test this on his own, it is very simple to replace the hdparm binary with a script that logs the execution date , parameters and a pstree to find the execution sequence.

[Bug 52490] Re: Xorg can't handle large XV buffers (badalloc)
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 49360 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/49360 First I must say that I'm quite dissapointed that this bug is still in "Unconfirmed" status as it is really easy to reproduce it with a large resolution video (and i810). However, I have finally found where the problem lies : It is the i810 driver default for "CacheLines" . From i810's man page : Option "CacheLines" "integer" This allows the user to change the amount of graphics memory used for 2D acceleration and video. Decreasing this amount leaves more for 3D textures. Increasing it can improve 2D per- formance at the expense of 3D performance. Default: depends on the resolution, depth, and available video memory. The driver attempts to allocate at least enough to hold two DVD-sized YUV buffers by default. The default used for a specific configura- tion can be found by examining the Xorg log file. Default value on my system is 256. After modifying this parameter to a larger (768) value this problem disappears. I think a better default should be set in the i810 driver and the problem should be passed to i810 developers.

[Bug 44811] Re: File type / Open with annoyance
I do not think there will ever be a way to include in the distribution any possible mimetype. In these condition, there must be a way for the enduser to control how his files are opened based for example only on the extension (or anything that works for any generic file). At this moment, it is impossible (using only the standard desktop environment) to assign DXF files to be opened with the appropriate application.This is because nautilus tries to outsmart the user in identified almost any non binary file as a pure text file and assign it to be opened with the default texteditor. Trying to change this behaviour by right clicking such a file (a dxf file for example) and assigning another application to handle the file will actually assign any textfile to be opened with the second application, which again is wrong. As long as the user does not have a way to change the behaviour for third party documents/files this is still a bug. (Would you otherwise prefer us to open a bug for ubuntu saying that "ubuntu does not include any possible mimetype on earth" ? ) It's not right to always try to outsmart the user about what he (the user) wants.

However, because of how the dependencies are made, you are presented with a blank screen. If you press enter a few times, eventually the startup sequence completes (i think it actually terminates cryptdisks init script) and so the other services get to be started (getty for ex). -- cryptsetup devices not mounted on boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/430496 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 430496] Re: cryptsetup devices not mounted on boot
Just reproduced this on a fresh install in a VM: - made a clean install; - cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/somepartition - added esomepartition /dev/somepartition none luks in /etc/crypttab -added /dev/mapper/esomepartition in /etc/fstab rebooted. After reboot, the startup scripts get to the point where a password for the encrypted partition is asked. However, after just a few keystrokes gdm overtakes the screen and the keyboard. This is a quite simple and straightforward scenario, has anyone tested these things ?! -- cryptsetup devices not mounted on boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/430496 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 430496] Re: cryptsetup devices not mounted on boot
PS : As gdm overtook the keyboard and screen, it seems that the init scripts somehow hang, and other things like for example the tty's do not start at all. You'll have to get back to tty1 and send a few enters to unhang the sequence. -- cryptsetup devices not mounted on boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/430496 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 580221] Re: mc directory sizes not reliable
How could be the bug invalid if du's reporting is always ok ? It can however be reproduced on the local filesystem. I am able to reproduce locally in many cases using the following scenario : 1). Go to a populated and loaded directory. For example a quite heavily used user home. 2). Enter one subdirectory - for example .gimp-2.6. In this directory call mc's directory sizes. Initially it will properly count everything. 3). Go back one directory in the user's home 4). Call directory sizes again. When i do this, almost every time counting it is NOT made again,and it only puts a size on the previously counted directory (.gimp-2.6 in this case). All other directories remain with sizes of 4096 bytes or 0. -- mc directory sizes not reliable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/580221 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 580221] Re: mc directory sizes not reliable
Let me reissue : we have the following structure : A |-- B | |-- X | |-- Y | |-- Z | |-- file1 | |-- file2 | `-- file3 |-- C | |-- file1 | |-- file2 | `-- file3 |-- D |-- E `-- F We enter directory B and request directory sizes. mc will count everything that resides in directory B and caches the result. Now we are getting BACK to the parent directory A and request directory count again. Please keep in mind that untill this moment we only requested directory counts while we were in directory B. Now when we request counting while in parent directory A we would expect correct counting for all directories B,C...F. However, instead of that mc just fetches the total for directory B (in which we previously ran directory count). IT WILL NOT COUNT THE DIRECTORIES THAT ARE ON THE SAME LEVEL : C,D,E and F.

[Bug 580221] Re: mc directory sizes not reliable
Please see the attached screen cast. See how I descend in my home, in .gimp-2.4 and in .gimp-2.4 i run directory count. Then, i go back to the parent directory (which is my home directory ) and run directory count there, too. Instead of counting that directory, mc limits itself to displaying ONLY ONE size, that of the directory where i previously run directory count. Then, for the argument's sake I also descend into gimp-2.6, where i run directory count and learn that the directory is not empty at all. I descend back to the parent directory, run directory count again, and this time mc only gives me the correct size for the previously counted directory ONLY, instead for all the objects in the directory where I run directory count. ** Attachment added: "mc-directorycount-bug.ogv" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/48679861/mc-directorycount-bug.ogv -- mc directory sizes not reliable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/580221 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

...another recording of the same issue, this time on a nfs mounted directory.

[Bug 580221] Re: mc directory sizes not reliable
Well, EVEN SO it fails, because it sometimes calculates (as previously expected) the sizes for all the content in the current directory and in other cases it does compute any sizes AT ALL or just limits itself to count only ONE directory from all the (sub)directories in the current directory. In my screencasts i never selected any subset of files, and i still got three different results for the same operation : - correct counting, sometimes, for all the objects in the current directory. This was the previous mode of operation, and the expected one. - no counting at all - only partial counting -- mc directory sizes not reliable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/580221 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 580221] Re: mc directory sizes not reliable
I understand what you say. Unfortunately the new behaviour is not intuitive at all IMHO. Select ".." to count the CURRENT directory ? Hope a smarter way is found.
