I forgot to say that the rest of the KickOff works right as it should! I know it was question of it recently on the mailing list. -Alexandre This is likely the exact same bug as described in Bug 1336, but with a different set of symptoms. There is terrible code in Kickoff that really needs to be rewritten... Hello, I've never seen this particular problem in TDE 3.5.13.x I've just tested Ubuntu 13.04 with 3.5.13.2 from Slavek's repo, and I do not have this problem. Maybe this one is a R14 regression ? No, this bug is only in the R14 nightlies on Ubuntu 13.04 I believe that it has something to do with the new device manager. I have not tested 3.5.13.2 yet. If nobody has the time to look at this problem before the release of R14, maybe the ''Computer'' tab button of the KickOff could be hidden? Everything works in the other tabs. -Alexandre (In reply to comment #4) > No, this bug is only in the R14 nightlies on Ubuntu 13.04 > I believe that it has something to do with the new device manager. > > I have not tested 3.5.13.2 yet. > > If nobody has the time to look at this problem before the release of R14, maybe > the ''Computer'' tab button of the KickOff could be hidden?

If so, this should be tagged as a regression to assist in future debugging. Thanks! On the same computer (my Asus EEE) or any computer, the KickOff works right as it should on 3.5.13.1, on PCLinuxOS, FC17, EXE GNU/Linux. It is only on Ubuntu 13.04 with R14 nightlies that I can see this problem, and I have just tested R14 nightlies on my Asus EEE. I guess that it has something to do with the way device are listed by the new device manager. Anyway, for the moment, I guess that this tab is not the most important feature of the KickOff, so maybe this tab could be hidden. -Alexandre This should be fixed in GIT hash ecc6ff1. Thanks for reporting! *** Bug 1336 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I still see too many items in the storage media tab on R14 nightlies of May 11, 2013... To update my system, I go in Synaptic and I do the ''Reload'', ''Mark all upgrades'',''Apply'' sequence. Is it the good way to do it on Ubuntu? It's the good way on PCLinuxOS, but it might be different for Ubuntu. Should I remove every TDE packages and config files between the updates or it should be okay to just update all the system? -Alexandre (In reply to comment #9) > I still see too many items in the storage media tab on R14 nightlies of May 11, > 2013... > > To update my system, I go in Synaptic and I do the ''Reload'', ''Mark all > upgrades'',''Apply'' sequence.

Alternatively, from the command line, you can use "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade" as root (or prefix each apt-get with sudo, I think that's the way Ubuntu wants you to do it). > Should I remove every TDE packages and config files between the updates or it > should be okay to just update all the system? Only in the most extreme TDE failures should you purge/reinstall the packages, for the most part it should be perfectly fine to keep them installed during upgrade. Hi! On Ubuntu 13.04 with R14 nightlies of May 15,2013, it works as it should! Only the ''real'' partitions are shown! Also, the new visual effect of black and white fade-out at logout time works. -Alexandre |
