Disabling hardware acceleration makes fullscreen flash smooth

I just switched back to noveau and on a whim, tried disabling hardware acceleration from flash player’s settings (Right click -> Settings…) and lo and behold, fullscreen playback is now smooth again.

Full screen flash jitters in Lucid

27. kesäkuuta 2010 klo 8.46

Avainsanat: Flash, Ubuntu

I have a system that’s affected by either this or #570164. I can verify that back in Karmic fullscreen playback of flash video on this system worked flawlessly. In addition, using the proprietary nvidia driver playback (now in Lucid) works fine, but the nv driver suffers from the stuttering too (the log I’m attaching is from the nv setup). I’d much prefer using the OSS drivers as the proprietary one has its own problems, but currently it’s the only way to go if I want fullscreen flash to work properly.

Icons ought to be as self-evident as possible

I would go further than the original report and say that the icons are pretty useless in themselves: an envelope with an arrow does… what? Email the status to somebody? And a set of gears… huh? Icons ought to be as self-evident as possible, and having to hover over them to see the tooltips to understand their meaning is a failure in the icons’ design IMO.

With most statuses being quite limited in length, there’s plenty of screen real estate available, so why not just use text indicators for each of the icon’s functions, such as ’Reply’ and ’More…’?

(Hope I’m not making this sound too brash, I think Gwibber is an excellent tool and this is a minor annoyance.)

Totem’s man page fails to mention –no-existing-session

–no-existing-session is is a handy little parameter, as documented by –help:

jani@saegusa:~$ LC_ALL=C totem –help | grep no-existing
–no-existing-session Don’t connect to an already-running
instance

Totem’s man page however fails to mention –no-existing-session altogether.

jani@saegusa:~$ man -P cat totem | grep no-existing
jani@saegusa:~$

dbusproxy != NULL

For me the ’dbusproxy != NULL’ problem came up with some of The GIMP’s filters. After I uninstalled Unity and all the packages it had pulled (probably from the PPA), the error went away. Hope this helps some of you too.

Endless reloading of Unity affects me too

This affects me too, if by the ”reloading” Jorge means that the top and right panels are stuck in an endless loop of disappearing and reappearing. Doesn’t respond to mouse clicks either; no other way to exit than to switch to another VT and killall gnome-session.

I created a new test user to make sure it’s nothing in my settings and he’s affected too.

New tabs open to the right of all existing tabs instead of opening next to the current tab

30. huhtikuuta 2010 klo 9.29
Sijainti: Vianhallintajärjestelmät: Launchpad
Avainsanat: Firefox

As the summary says: when a user opens a new, empty tab, it opens next to the rightmost of tabs currently open in the browser. This is inconsistent with the way links in new tabs are opened, which is to have them next to the currently active tab.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open multiple tabs in the browser.
2. Select the leftmost tab.
3. Press Ctrl + T.

Expected result:
Have a new, empty tab next to the leftmost tab.

Actual result:
The new, empty tab opens next to the rightmost tab.
