At least for Ubuntu users, I recommend filing those bugs on Launchpad. The package maintainers are usually able to tell pretty quickly if the issue is an upstream one, in which case you then file it upstream (in Gnome’s bugzilla) and link the two reports (there’s built-in functionality in LP precisely for this purpose). When the distributor’s tracker is your first port of call, you won’t (usually) be bothering upstream unnecessarily with distro-specific issues.

In fact, I sometimes file bugs on LP even when I know the issue is an upstream one, and then just link the reports right away. This way other Ubuntu users, who can’t tell the difference and would file the bug on Launchpad anyway, are saved the trouble.

The kernel parameterizing of allow-discards could be an Archism: apparently in Arch, you notify GRUB of an encrypted root with (e.g.) ”cryptdevice=/dev/mapper/root:root:allow-discards”. This being picked up by Ubuntu users might be due to Arch’s wiki being referred to as ”Best reference” by Ubuntu wiki’s EncryptedFilesystems.

Hi Gary. I now tested this in a VM running up-to-date Precise and am happy to report the problem no longer occurs. I’m thus marking this as being fixed.

Here’s why this is broken: logging out != shutting down. Why does the sync block logout instead of continuing in the background, and just blocking any attempts to *actually* shut down? The way it currently is makes it impractical to use U1 to sync my users’ config, because they’re blocked from fast user switching by the wait on every logout.

Still very much an issue in 12.04.

u1sdtool is also affected, and for me setting files_sync_enabled to True also doesn’t fix this.

Oops, an error ocurred:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod:

Ah, that would be the ”UbuntuOne token for https://ubuntuone.com”. Missed it repeatedly among the dozens of website passwords.

Just for the record, which exact keys should I delete in Seahorse? I’m affected by this after I removed a (misidentified) computer from my U1 account. I tried removing two Desktopcouch keys that were in Seahorse, but that doesn’t seem to have made any difference:

This happened after about 30 minutes of watching a flash video in fullscreen (using Firefox): the video froze, leaving just the audio playing, and the display no longer responded to user input until I ssh’d in and killed gnome-session for the user (after which LightDM login came up and things worked again).

According to user this freezing has been occurring daily, sometimes multiple times a day, since upgrading to Precise. It never occurred with Lucid.

We’ve yet to try if using 2D desktop or disabling KMS helps.

(Apport wouldn’t send this report without me lying to it that I was referred here by tech support, but I wasn’t.)

Bug #994203 looks similar, but it’s about NV4e whereas this is an NV4c.

Universal Access in Control Center allows you to select a text size, though only from fixed preset values and not on pixel/point level.
