[Bug 573266] [NEW] [Ambiance, radiance] forcibly override the window button order

2010-05-01 Thread Maciej Katafiasz
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: light-themes

Changing to ambiance or radiance, including ambiance the *GTK+* (not
metacity) theme, forcibly overrides the
/apps/metacity/general/button_layout setting to put the buttons on the
left, overriding the user setting. This is completely wrong and
basically destroys the user settings to force the system defaults.
Defaults should be that, default in the absence of specific
customisations, not forced upon users each time they happen to look
ambiance's way.

I don't know if this is the same as bug #568796, but the description in
it describes a somewhat different thing, so opening a new bug.

Yes, this is about 2. The value in /apps/metacity/general/button_layout
is being changed to the default left-side layout, replacing the value I
put in it.

[Bug 998862] Re: [TECRA R850, Realtek ALC269VB, Mic, Internal] No sound captured at all

2014-01-17 Thread Maciej Katafiasz
I hit this issue on Mint 16 (which is derived from 13.10, running
PulseAudio 4.0), on an MSI X370 laptop, which also has Realtek ALC269VB.
I have been able to identify the issue (in a way), and work around it
for now using pavucontrol, though it's clearly wrong.

The problem is that the normal capture stream for the "Built-in Analogue
Stereo" device is completely distorted, to the point where it appears to
be just flat noise with no correlation to anything the microphone
captures. It's not truly the case, you can actually hear certain loud
sounds when you bump up the capture volume, but they're very, very
mangled and unrecognisable. However, the *Monitor* of Built-in Analogue
Stereo has perfectly fine, clear sound. I don't know enough about PA to
pinpoint the issue, but it shows that the problem is purely in the
software and has nothing to do with hardware or faulty drivers. If I
were to chance a guess, I'd say it's something like the wrong codec or
sample format being output, different than what is advertised. Because
the monitor stream collects all data passing through, it has the ability
to replicate the capture stream, but is apparently not affected by
whatever is causing the ordinary capture stream to mangle its data.

Now, the workaround is to install pavucontrol, and in Input Devices tab
set the Monitor of Built-in Analogue Stereo as the fallback device. This
will make all apps use that rather than the capture device directly,
thus letting you use the microphone. It's ugly as sin and very wrong,
but it works while we look for a real solution.

2014-01-17 Thread Maciej Katafiasz
Scratch what I said, the Monitor thing is no solution because it's
simply a mirror of what is being played back on the sound card, and it
only appeared to help because of how I was debugging it. Still, there's
enough distorted similarity between what I *should* be hearing captured
and what actually comes from the mic that it makes me think the audio
stream is somehow being misinterpreted.

[Bug 839189] [NEW] font hinting produces nonsensical results for tilde-a

2011-09-01 Thread Maciej Katafiasz
Public bug reported:

This is a problem with hinting, so I'm assigning it tentatively to FT,
because I don't really know where the problem lies. As described below
the problem is present on an installed Ubuntu 10.04, as well as
completely pristine 11.04 run from a USB stick.

Description:
Font hinting fails completely for U+00E3 LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH TILDE (ã). 
For instance in the "Ubuntu" font at 18pt size it's rendered indistinguishable 
from a macron, whereas at 19pt it's very clearly a tilde. The problem is not 
limited to a single font, or a single size, or only for small enough sizes. 
Another font exhibiting the same problem is Trebuchet MS -- the tilde looks 
perfect at 32pt, but at 33pt it's almost a straight line with barely visible 
trace of waves. Same for lower sizes: below 14pt it's rendered as a macron, 15 
and 16 have it look right, then macron up until 23pt, then 24pt is great again 
but 25pt is a macron, etc.

The same problem is not present for U+0303 COMBINING TILDE. A combined
with it (ã) is rendered properly and visibly at all point sizes down to
8pt. At 7pt it does look like a straight line, but it's hard to judge
because the font is so tiny.

The attached .gif is a small animation clearly showing the issue.

[Bug 839189] Re: font hinting produces nonsensical results for tilde-a

2011-09-01 Thread Maciej Katafiasz
To add to the above, and especially given the behaviour with Trebuchet
MS, where it's nice at a nice, round size of 16, and twice that 32, but
fails at one point larger, I'd wager it's overzealous pixel grid
snapping distorting the shape at sizes which have the tilde's waves come
ever so slightly outside the grid. But I dunno how to influence that, so
I can't really track down the root cause myself.

[Bug 839189] Re: font hinting produces nonsensical results for tilde-a

2011-09-01 Thread Maciej Katafiasz
So the problem is only limited to LCD subpixel aliasing, when I select
the antialiasing type of "best contrast", "best shapes" or "monochrome",
tilde remains a tilde. All these antialising however cause huge
variations in the font widths and kerning, as well as causing perceived
emboldening at the 12→13pt switch. Subpixel antialiasing produces fonts
that are visually consistent across point sizes, but clearly does
something too eagerly to the tilde.

[Bug 666806] [NEW] [Maverick] APPINDICATOR automake-fu is broken

2010-10-26 Thread Maciej Katafiasz
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon

As of 2.32.0-0ubuntu3, the automake-fu, as listed on
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/ApplicationIndicators#Automake%20fu,
has been applied wrongly, for no visible reason. Namely, the original
bit:

AC_ARG_ENABLE(appindicator,

AS_HELP_STRING([--enable-appindicator[=@<:@no/auto/yes@:>@]],[Build support for 
application indicators ]),
[enable_appindicator=$enableval],
[enable_appindicator="auto"])

has been instead changed to:

AC_ARG_ENABLE([appindicator],
AS_HELP_STRING([--enable-appindicator[=@<:@no/auto/yes@:>@]],[Build 
support for application indicators]),
[enable_appindicator="yes"],
[enable_appindicator="auto"])

Due to the way automake snippets are expanded and organised, this has
the effect of ignoring the actual value supplied to --enable-
appindicator and always substituting "yes" instead. The original form of
'[enable_appindicator=$enableval]' should be restored to fix it.

Additionally, the 06_use_application_indicator.patch omits #ifdefs
around one chunk of appindicator-specific code, breaking the compilation
for --enable-appindicator=no. The attached diff is a patch to that
