| rinzewind | Hi. I've just updated from Xubuntu 18.04 -> 20.04 -> 22.04 and everything went well, but there're two things that are driving a bit crazy. 1) The network indicator menu blinks when I click on it, which makes it entirely unusable. If I disable the wifi, it stays quite. 2) When using the Spanish keyboard layout, I can see the accent (') being written before I type the vowel, which looks quite ugly. I | 21:52 |
| rinzewind | don't know if this behavior can be changed somewhere. | 21:52 |
| rinzewind | Update: the accent thing also happens on Libreoffice. | 22:49 |
| rinzewind | So perhaps it's a gtk setting, I don't know. | 22:49 |
| tomreyn | oh, actually gnome-terminal on 22.04 does this, too | 22:56 |
| tomreyn | and i assume it's actually on purpose | 22:56 |
| tomreyn | rinzewind: ^ | 22:56 |
| rinzewind | tomreyn: ok, thanks for the confirmation. I wonder if there's any setting somewhere to revert to the old behavior (the accent is not shown, but the entire letter + accent is there when the letter is pressed.) | 22:57 |
| Unit193 | What indicator things do you have installed? At this point, you shouldn't need statusnotifier and perhaps not xfce4-indicator-plugin either, if it's that old you may have a few indicator-* packagess... | 22:57 |
| rinzewind | I have "Status Tray Plugin", "Notification Plugin" and "Indicator Plugin". | 22:58 |
| rinzewind | The "Indicator Plugin" didn't really have anything attached and I've just removed it. | 22:59 |
| Unit193 | Perhaps remove all indicator-* packages and ensure your panel instead has xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin and xfce4-power-manager's plugin. Fewer things to mess with there. | 22:59 |
| rinzewind | The PulseAudio is there, as is the power one. | 23:01 |
| rinzewind | And all of them behave correctly. It's only the network one that has a blinking menu when I click on it. | 23:01 |
| rinzewind | Ok, there's something else: when the menu is blinking, the keyboard doesn't respond. I have to click on the icon again so that the menu goes away, then I can use the keyboard again. | 23:02 |
| tomreyn | rinzewind: i was just looking through gnome-tweaks -> keyboard & mouse -> additional layout options - which has a lot of options - but could not find it there. | 23:03 |
| Unit193 | Right, my goal here is to ensure you don't lose anything when removing the extra stuff. I don't expect others to be glitching. I'm English only, so I don't really know much about Spanish input. :3 | 23:03 |
| tomreyn | rinzewind: i.e. these options (if you're familiar with gnome): https://i.imgur.com/36W9UA2.png | 23:04 |
| rinzewind | tomreyn: Ok, I see them. Nothing there that looks like what I'm looking for, actually :-m | 23:06 |
| rinzewind | And I've been playing around with the keyboard layout, just in case I had a layout with wrong options. All do the same. | 23:08 |
| tomreyn | those should be configurable via gsettings. maybe some of them are not exposed there. | 23:08 |
| tomreyn | but this may or may not affect xfce, i don't know enough about their relation to tell. | 23:09 |
| rinzewind | I guess I can always set up a regular xterm to at least remove that effect from there, but just the thought makes me shudder :D | 23:11 |
| rinzewind | I guess I'll get used to it in the end. | 23:11 |
| rinzewind | As for the blinking network menu... still a mystery. But looks to me like it's refreshing every time it finds a new network (lots of them around here.) | 23:11 |
| rinzewind | brb | 23:16 |
| tomreyn | also while you're connected to one? | 23:18 |
| rinzewind | Yes. | 23:18 |
| tomreyn | a wireless network, that is | 23:18 |
| rinzewind | Yes. The blinking stops if I disable the wifi. | 23:19 |
| tomreyn | hmm, no idea :-/ | 23:20 |
| Unit193 | Somewhat related, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/1735367 | 23:21 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1735367 in network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) "Prevent redrawing list of networks when visible" [Undecided, New] | 23:21 |
| rinzewind | Yes, weird. I get a few seconds of "peace" before it goes nuts. | 23:22 |
| rinzewind | Unit193: that sounds similar to what happens to me, yes. | 23:22 |
| Unit193 | https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/network-manager-applet/-/issues/130 | 23:24 |
| ubottu | Issue 130 in GNOME/network-manager-applet "Position of existing menu entries should not change while the menu is open" [Opened] | 23:25 |
| rinzewind | Only that my list is updating twice a second or so. | 23:25 |
| rinzewind | I've created a small screencast to show the problem: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wxixwdqeuvmxkto/wifi_applet_problem.mp4?dl=0 | 23:40 |
| Unit193 | I mean, we believe you, there's even bug reports. Seems the issue isn't fixed. | 23:43 |
| rinzewind | Yes, though I think the issue is slightly different in my case. I'm opening a new bug report on Launchpad just in case. | 23:45 |
| Unit193 | Sure, fair enough! Not sure if someone activly monitors that, but feel free to link it here for reference. | 23:48 |
| rinzewind | Sure, here it is: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/1978363 | 23:49 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1978363 in network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) "The menu blinks constantly" [Undecided, New] | 23:49 |
| rinzewind | On the other hand, the accent issue is gone. I found an option in the "Language support" settings: Keyboard input method. It was set to "None", it's XIM now, and it works as expected. | 23:59 |
