I tested 5.20 from Shuduo’s PPA and for me it reproduces the issue just the same as -proposed. To be sure, I then went back down to release versions in all the other packages (so that the only change wrt. released is again just Unity being 5.20, just now from the PPA), and the issue remained. Downgrade Unity to 5.18 and it again goes away.
But this looks like a speed issue, so Unity may not be directly at fault: any apps started once the desktop is fully loaded open as truly maximized, so a workaround is setting autostarted apps to start after a delay. Perhaps Unity going from 5.18 to 5.20 here causes just enough delay for those apps to start before whatever the component is that should fuse the menus with appindicator. The autostarting facility should wait for that component, or the component should be also able to fuse menus for existing windows once it gets up and running.
Incidentally, any appindicator-related packages’ versions also don’t seem to matter for this once Unity is 5.20. I think I’ll try upgrading just those to their -proposed versions next (so that Unity remains at 5.18) just to cover all angles.
@1:15 meil samat! Hitto, hupaisaa :D
Puuh, sain rauhani, kiitos!
With Unity 5.20.0-0ubuntu1 from -proposed, maximized windows opened during login by autostarting apps have their top bar visible underneath the desktop top bar (indicator-appmenu) as if unmaximized, but with the window ’maximize’ button indicating a maximized window – i.e. first click on it results in the window getting smaller. The second click on it then actually maximizes the window so that the top bar merges into the desktop top bar (indicator-appmenu).
This problem appears consistently on every login, after I’ve enabled -proposed and installed Unity 5.20 from there. It never appears when I have 5.18 from -updates. Annoyingly, I am unable to reproduce it in a VM (for a nice demonstration video), but I am able to reproduce it with a newly created user account on the host (i.e. without the configuration from my main user account).
I could’ve taken a screenshot of how it looks right after login. I’ll do that in a minute.
Edit: autostarting apps.
Onko sinulla sukulaisyhteyksiä Jyväskylään? Muistutat ulkonäöltäsi niin paljon jotakuta siellä tuntemaani, etten näköjään saa rauhaa jollen kysy.
Netti ja sosiaalinen media laajemmin ei ole yksinomaan nuorten juttu, mutta Suomen YouTube-vlogaajat vaikuttaisivat olevan keskimäärin nuorempia kuin muiden kanavien käyttäjät. Eivät ehkä kovin paljon, mutta alle parikymppisten osuus on silmiinpistävä näin vanhan koulukunnan blogaajan näkövinkkelistä.
RSS FTW. What’s the soundtrack on this? It’s quite nice.
Aww, the perch is keeping watch so his buddy the eel can feed in peace. (Or he’s just looking for scraps and whatever small creatures are scared off the bottom by the eel, but anthropomorphic explanations are much funnier.)
No problem, and good luck with the pen drive!
Hi Francesc. I haven’t tried this using a pen drive, so I can’t guarantee it’ll work. But as for my opinion, I think it may very well work as long as you can get the pen drive to boot. The flashing app probably doesn’t care what media it is running from.
