[Bug 387536] [NEW] Zenity should ignore markup with a flag

2009-06-15 Thread Jon Reed
Public bug reported: Zenity (specifically, the --info mode) should have a flag that will cause it to ignore Pango markup in its input. I frequently want to use Zenity to display output from scripts, and I shouldn't have to worry about whether the text has things like ampersands in it. (This is p

[Bug 382879] [NEW] gdm should not hardcode name of ~/.xsession-errors

2009-06-02 Thread Jon Reed
Public bug reported: When an error occurs during login, the gdm slave will redirect errors to ~/.xsession-errors. The gdm daemon will then attempt to display the contents of the file to the user. If the user's home directory is on a networked filesystem that the daemon process does not normally

Although this has been fixed in Karmic (it'sin x11-common), it's still missing in Jaunty. Can we get an update to x11-common on Jaunty that includes this 17K file? ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => Confirmed -- missing "/etc/X11/rgb.txt" file and broken link to it http

[Bug 366687] Re: With ATI/AMD proprietary fglrx driver enabled, using the command "gnome-display-properties" the system stops responding

2009-08-31 Thread Jon Reed
I have an identical experience to what Andriy described. If fglrx is loaded, attempting to run gnome-display-properties (via System->Preferences->Display or the command line) causes Xorg to use 100% of one core (on a Core 2 DUO E8400). I'm able to reproduce the problem with fglrx on a ATI Radeon

2009-09-01 Thread Jon Reed
To reproduce: 1) Set up an AFS infrastucture with Kerberos authentication, or an NFS infrastructure where the local gdm daemon (running as root) does not have permission to read a user's remote home directory. 2) Ensure that the login process fails (perhaps by setting the user's shell to tcsh a

>Not sure why would anybody want to change the log names If you re-read my original bug report, you'll see that we're more interested in changing the path of the file than its name. GDM, like most GNOME products, assumes that all home directories are stored on local disk and that processes runnin

[Bug 499585] [NEW] /etc/cups/interfaces doesn't exist; lpadmin fails to add interface scripts

2009-12-22 Thread Jon Reed
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: cups /etc/cups/interfaces does not exist by default in Ubuntu (at least not in Karmic or Jaunty). Normally, one should be able to add interface scripts for SysV queues with something like: lpadmin -p myprinter -E -i /path/to/my/interface/script -v para
