• Copy-Paste doesn't work if the source is closed before the paste - +affectsmetoo

  • (Ctrl + C, or right click and "Copy") text from somewhere and after that close the source program, the clipboard content gets deleted, can't paste.
  • The desktop environment (gnome) needs a clipboard management daemon capable of copying text and media without this type of issue.

'''2 - These need to be solved together'''

• gdm 2.26 has no graphical configuration tool - +affectsmetoo

• No GUI to configure/disable login sound - +affectsmetoo

• Lack of an updated gdmsetup or "Login Screen" configuration utility (started in karmic) causes users to have problems accomplishing the following tasks graphically.
  • Install/Change the GDM Theme
  • Change the GDM welcome message
  • Turn on remote login
  • Allow TCP logins to Xserver
  • Enable multiple logins for a single user (used for concurrent VNC)
  • Change login sounds
  • Set a user to log in automatically
  • Remove Shutdown/Reboot option form actions menu

• Update Notifier icon would provide useful status information / new update-manager behaviour is annoying - +affectsmetoo

  • Update: David St. Barth told personally that karmic would present a choice between old and new behaviour in software sources
  • Update: Unassigned from DX, assigned to Michael Vogt but was not acted on for karmic

'''4'''

• gnome-volume-control missing ability to customize session sound effects theme - +affectsmetoo

• Since Jaunty, users can no longer customize their sounds.
• Sound theme is a good idea, but it is badly documented, and there are no known utilities to graphically create a sound theme. It has not taken off, and after two releases, we should either find a way to make it work or return to per event sound files.

'''5 - These need to be solved together'''

• unlabeled partitions are mounted under their UUIDs - +affectsmetoo

• provide support for changing volume labels in nautilus +affectsmetoo

'''6'''

• Not able to create a bootable USB key using Ubuntu 9.10 - +affectsmetoo

  • Since the replacement of HAL with devicekit-disks, usb-creator has been less reliable
  • Program needs proper QA and refactoring to work properly with new back end.

'''7'''

• Remote Desktop - "only accept from localhost" option does not work - +affectsmetoo

  • To set up localhost only, you have to open up gconf-editor and modify the following string value to be "lo" (without the quotes): /desktop/gnome/remote_access/network_interface
  • This was tested and fails for many, as well a graphical option for this needs to be made available

'''8'''

• nm-applet fails when another user is logged in - +affectsmetoo

  • Switching to second user does not allow the second user to use nm-applet.
  • Users have a hard time gathering Connection information
  • Admin2 cannot make a change to the network until Admin1 Logs out.
  • Resource locking and notification of changes may be needed to resolve this bug.
