[Bug 353826] Re: Thumbnails in Nautilus have the wrong orientation

2009-04-21 Thread Tom Kirby
OK, so now it turns out (using current Jaunty) that the problem doesn't
occur if I create a brand new user and test with the same image. Does
anyone have any idea how I can fix this without taking the risk of
wiping out my entire GNOME config?

2009-04-22 Thread Tom Kirby
Phil, thank you so much! That solves the problem for me too. I can't
understand why, because it was happening with photos imported since I
upgraded to Jaunty.

I still get the problem that when I set a rotated photo as a desktop
background, it shows up wrongly oriented. This happens even for a fresh
user, so it's not a problem with my config. Has a bug been reported for
this?

Hi Leann,

I added the "kernel-ppa.list" file as you described, with the
appropriate entries in it, and then ran "sudo apt-get update". I then
ran "sudo apt-get upgrade -s", but the only thing it would offer to
upgrade was "linux-libc-dev", not "linux-image-2.6.25". I'm quite
willing to help with this if you can give me some pointers as to what to
do next.

[Bug 353826] [NEW] [Jaunty] Thumbnails in Nautilus have the wrong orientation

2009-04-02 Thread Tom Kirby
Public bug reported:

When I import photos from my Canon EOS 400D (I think this is a Digital
Rebel XTi in the US), the ones taken with a "portrait" orientation
appear rotated through 90 degrees.

The camera is of the type that automatically "senses" what orientation
you took the photos at - I think it then writes this in the EXIF data.
Nautilus used to deal with this correctly in Intrepid, but in Jaunty it
shows them un-rotated.

Did Nautilus previously display thumbnails by reading the whole image
and scaling it? And does it now do so by taking the existing "embedded"
thumbnail from the image file? This is the impression I get, because it
is now way quicker than it used to be at creating the thumbnails. My
suspicion is that the new thumbnail code doesn't honour the EXIF tag
that determines orientation.

I attach a screenshot: you can see that for the photo selected, gThumb
reports the value of the "Auto rotate" tag as being "Rotate 270 degrees
CW"; with a "landscape" photo, gThumb reports this value as "None".

My Nautilus version is 2.26.0-0ubuntu4, and I'm using the pre-release of
Jaunty Jackalope.

[Bug 411898] [NEW] No option to keep conversations off the record

2009-08-11 Thread Tom Kirby
Public bug reported:

I think it's a serious problem with Empathy that there is no option to
prevent conversations being logged, as there is in Pidgin. It would be
good to have:

1) A general option to turn off logging altogether on the user's own computer
1a) An option to keep the current conversation from being recorded on the 
user's own computer
2) A button to erase all conversation history stored on the user's own computer
3) A function (in the "view previous conversations" window) for deleting past 
conversations with individual 
contacts

It seems to me socially inappropriate to record all my conversations
with my friends, and this is particularly true of IM and phone
conversations, where people may not know that what they say is being
recorded. It would therefore be good to have the option of turning this
off.

Debateably, it might also be good to warn the user that the program is
logging their conversation, and that they can turn the "feature" off if
they so desire.

I'm using Empathy 2.26.1

[Bug 46217] Re: totem-gstreamer-firefox-plugin gives an error in a page

2006-08-23 Thread Tom Kirby
I am experiencing rather irritating problems visiting
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/uk/

I don't just get one error message, but hundreds. They just keep coming,
which is a far worse bug than a missing codec, as it means I have to
quit Firefox to stop the messages clogging up my system. In fact, I'd go
as far as to say that there's the slightest chance this could constitute
a potential security hole in Firefox/Totem on systems that have the
Firefox Totem plugin but not the WMV9 Totem plugin.

In other words, this could be serious.

The error looks something like: "Totem could not play
'mms://.../wm.rootmedia/84/84325_300.asf...

Video codec 'MS WMV 9 (win32)' is not handled..."

[Bug 186345] Re: histogram disappears in gimp's curves tool

2008-02-04 Thread Tom Kirby
Looks like I've found out what's going on.

Basically, the colour of the graph and its background are linked to
colours in the current theme. Looking at the "Colours" tab in the
"Customize Theme" box from the Appearance preferences, it seems that the
graph itself is set to the "Windows" colour, whilst the background is
set to the "Input Boxes" colour.

To make the graph visible, all you need to do is  go to
System->Preferences->Appearance->Themes->Customize->Colours, and set the
"Windows" theme and "Input Boxes" theme to different settings, e.g.
"#CC" and "#FF" respectively.

I'm not sure the curves tool should use colours from the theme, in case
these two colours get set to be identical, thus making the graph
disappear.

Any ideas? Shall I pass this on upstream to the Gimp devs?

Tom

[Bug 186345] [NEW] histogram disappears in gimp's curves tool

2008-01-27 Thread Tom Kirby
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gimp

Hi,

I'm using Gutsy (Ubuntu 7.10) and Gimp  2.4.2-0ubuntu0.7.10.1.

When I bring up the "curves" tool, the histogram appears briefly, and
immediately disappears. This happens every time. I think it might only
have started happening when the package manager updated gimp from the
release candidate version that came with Gutsy to the full 2.4.2
release.

It's a really annoying bug, because it prevents me from adjusting the
curves on an image properly, so help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Tom Kirby

I'm having what looks like a pretty similar problem. When I select
"hibernate", the screen goes black and then prints some text that looks
rather like this:

If I press ctrl+alt+f1, I get a text-based login console, but can't do
anything with it. If I press ctrl+alt+f7, the screen goes blank and I
can't do anything - even pressing ctrl+alt+f1 does nothing.

The only way to rescue the computer from this is to do a hard reset.
I'm attaching diagnostic information as per

2008-04-05 Thread Tom Kirby
I don't get this problem if I boot with the "2.6.20-12-generic" kernel.
It could be connected with libata
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks), as under 2.6.20-12 my SATA
hd shows up as /dev/hda rather than /dev/sda like it does under
2.6.24-15.

[Bug 201044] Re: Suspend+Hibernate fails on Fujitsu-Seimens Amilo M1405

2008-03-24 Thread Tom Kirby
It turns out that my machine (which is an ASUS Pundit-R, by the way, not
a Fujitsu-Siemens) actually does hibernate in the end if left long
enough. It takes a lot longer than it used to (so isn't really any
quicker than shutting down and starting up anymore), and although it
does resume from hibernation, it takes ges to do it. If it would
help people for me to time how long it takes, I'd be happy to do that- I
think it takes at least 5 minutes (probably more) to hibernate, and
about 3-5 minutes to resume. Any help with this problem would be much
appreciated. Thanks.

Here's a copy of my kern.log: as you can see, I tried to hibernate the
computer at about 11.10 on March 23rd, and resumed it this morning
(March 24th).

[Bug 205945] [NEW] [Hardy] Heavy I/O causes other processes to starve

2008-03-24 Thread Tom Kirby
Public bug reported:

After a while of using Hardy, I've found that unlike Gutsy, heavy disk
usage by any one process (caused by things like launching Firefox or
Openoffice, or installing packages), causes other processes to be
starved of CPU time.

On a machine running Hardy, try:

cat /dev/urandom > ~/test

whilst playing some music, or even just moving the mouse around. The
mouse starts to jitter a bit, and the music starts to get choppy. (I've
noticed that choppy music occurs more with Rhythmbox than when using
totem or just a gstreamer pipeline, but it still happens whatever you
use.)

This kind of starvation doesn't happen if you just increase CPU usage
generally, by running something like

cat /dev/urandom > /dev/null

or just by moving windows around a lot.


This is definitely a regression on Gutsy for me. I'm finding that listening to 
music is no longer pleasant if I'm trying to start programs or install packages 
at the same time, for example.

Can anyone help?

2008-03-24 Thread Tom Kirby
I'm now pretty sure this is a disk access thing (it gets especially bad
when I'm running a script that backs up my whole home directory with
rsync), but fiddling with the script's i/o priority with 'ionice'
doesn't really seem to help.

[Bug 109579] Re: thumbnail problems with relative soft-links

2007-05-07 Thread Tom Kirby
I can't get thumbnails in symlinked directories either.

"/home/tom/Desktop/2007-05/" is a symlink pointing to
"/home/tom/pictures/photos_archive/2007-05/".

If I open "~/Desktop/2007-05/" in Nautilus, and then double-click one of
the photos to open it with gthumb, then go to the "browser" view, no
thumbnails appear.

If, on the other hand, I go to
"/home/tom/pictures/photos_archive/2007-05/" in gthumb, all the
thumbnails show up.

I don't know whether this is a problem with gthumb or gnomevfs, as it
could be to do with an error in detecting whether or not the directory
in question is a network share.

I have attached the output I get from gthumb when using
"~/Desktop/2007-05/". I get no output at all when I use
"~/pictures/photos_archive/2007-05/".

Changing the thumbnail setting in Nautilus to allow viewing thumbnails
on network shares does not solve the problem.

I did not get this problem in Edgy.

Sorry if I didn't make this clear: all of the directories concerned are
on the same filesystem, which is a local filesystem mounted on "/home".

[Bug 46217] Re: totem-gstreamer-firefox-plugin gives an error in a page

2006-12-17 Thread Tom Kirby
I'm no longer getting the same specific problem on the same specific
page. This could be due to the fact that I'm now on Edgy, or that the
page has changed, or I might have installed some different
firefox/gstreamer plugin since the problem first occurred. Will try to
report back with more info later.

[Bug 404987] Re: Wifi network speed decreased after hibernation

2009-09-06 Thread Tom Kirby
I get what looks like a very similar problem on Karmic. I've found a
workaround that works at the moment is to unload and reload the wireless
driver like this:

sudo modprobe -r ath9k
sudo modprobe ath9k

Obviously, save your work before you try it in case it crashes your
computer.
