[Bug 379810] [NEW] echo corrupts bash charset
Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
Whenever the contents of the attached, randomly generated Tor authentication
cookie are echoed to the terminal the character set changes to incomprehensible
figures. This happens both as a result of cat and Python printing the file's
contents. Problem persists until terminal window is restarted. Below is a
sample of the terminal output:
ata...@odin:~$ cat Desktop/buggyCookie/control_auth_cookie3

I realize the distribution is a little behind but the bug should be
incredibly easy to try to reproduce. Hope this helps! -Damian

Yes, it's still an issue, and no I can't upgrade my distribution (took long enough to get things up and running once!).

[Bug 257182] Re: workspace columns lost without switcher
How is this not a bug? If the user has the panel then workspace dimensions work properly. However, if it's removed then all workspaces are 'flattened' (ie, Ubuntu forgets the rows attribute). My issue isn't that it's reverted when re-adding the component (though that's not good) but that it needs the panel around (and visible) to get Gnome to remember that there's multiple rows. In other words preference data is being contained in a UI component which is bad design. I'm not 'creating a new object' when it's reverted to a 1x4 workspace via restarting. -- workspace columns lost without switcher https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257182 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 289664] [NEW] Persistent white bar in upper left
Public bug reported: There's a 1x17 white bar of pixels that shows up in the upper left of the screen. They're usually hidden (due to the top menu bar) but they're visible when a program spans the whole screen (ex. full screen terminals or video - see attached screenshot). This sliver of pixels is unresponsive, by which I mean that clicking them doesn't do anything, even if the application usually displays a right-click context menu. This problem manifests on a couple of my systems: Ubuntu Hardy (8.04) on a laptop (HP Pavilion dv5163cl) Ubuntu Feisty (7.04) on a PC (Dell Dimension 9200) I've noticed that this occurs when I: a. Run VLC (music or video, it always occurs) b. Inconsistently occurs when using Firefox then it disappears when I close those applications. After a bit of investigating I stumbled on a forum post suggesting that this might either concern Adobe Flash or UIM (both of which I have): http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-689310-highlight-openbox.html?sid=131dee068fb5ecfdbda853430ae1dbce However, the last post was in 2004 and I'm not spotting a bug report so here it is! My apologies if I should be sending this to someone upstream. This is a low priority issue, but it's kinda annoying when watching movies so please let me know if I can be of any help in solving it.

[Bug 257182] [NEW] workspace columns lost without switcher
Public bug reported: The number of workspace columns is lost (reverted to one) if the "Workspace Switcher" is removed from the panel. Here's the steps to reproduce: 1. Add workspace switcher to panel (right click on pane > "Add to panel..." > Workspace Switcher) 2. Raise the number of rows two (right click Workspace Switcher > Preferences > Change "Show all workspaces in: X rows" to 2) 3. Remove Workspace Switcher (right click Workspace Switcher > "Remove From Panel") 4. At this point you'll still have 2x2 workspaces. However, if you either re-add the Workspace Switcher OR restart Ubuntu, it'll be reverted to a single row (1x4 workspaces). Bug is with Hardy Heron (Ubuntu 8.04.1) and desktop effects are turned off. -Damian ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- workspace columns lost without switcher https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257182 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
Re: [Bug 289664] Re: Persistent white bar in upper left
Sorry, haven't had time to check a live boot but as mentioned this seems to be an application issue. It doesn't manifest on boot and it always occurs under the following conditions: - Running VLC - Running IcePodder - Browsing to certain sites (like GMail) in Firefox, but not for others My guess would be an issue with a common ui library. It's probably not GTK (the problem doesn't appear for Gnome games for instance) but I'm suspecting the wxPython library (it's used in both VLC and IcePodder, and possibly Firefox plugins). Do you have any idea how to test this? -Damian On Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 6:37 PM, Lupine wrote: > How about testing a Live CD to see if the issue goes away?
