I have some scripts running on files located on a shared drive on a Win2003 Server.
I need to look at the images on any number of PC's in our network.. so every time I browse these folders, the clients create thumbs.db, which interferes with our scripts which move and delete folders, but usually...
@StefanoPalazzo For the Sites list, since it's ever changing - wouldn't it be easier to fetch a site list from the global api and build a referenced based on the sites name from the first . to it's full site domain?
still, it's fantastic that there's now a place with all the information and, from the looks of it, a working system for cashing in on your code, both the developers and ubuntu :)
@ajmitch the annoying bit is remembering (or having someone tell you) all of the different commands and switches. It must seem very straightforward if you know packaging, but most of it is just flub --knurkleplurg to me
if all of the tools use the underlying packaging stuff, and there'll always be people who know this by heart, I guess everyone using quickly wouldn't be so bad. (+ templates for more languages and frameworks)
@ajmitch you are a dev, you gotta know (:P): problems with drawing the desktop are happening in unity and unity-2d → is the problem likely in nautilus?
Opening various programs causes unity-panel-service to use more and more resident memory (that won't be freed after program termination).
Attaching a valgrind log of unity-panel-service containing ten starts of Kile (which caused unity-panel-service to go from 23 MB to 119 MB resident memory usage):
==8130== LEAK SUMMARY:
==8130== definitely lost: 45,015 bytes in 508 blocks
==8130== indirectly lost: 203,173 bytes in 5,553 blocks
==8130== possibly lost: 23,453 bytes in 450 blocks
==8130== still reachable: 28,961,416 bytes in 525,544 blocks
TEST CASE:
1. Open a gnome-terminal window.
2. Run 'while true; do ps aux | grep unity-panel-service | grep -v grep; sleep 1; done' and monitor the sixth column (resident memory usage in KB).
3a. Open and close Gimp, or if zou don't have that installed:
3b. Open and close Nautilus.
RESULTS:
For 3a: memory increases by ~12 MB.
For 3b: memory increases by ~2 MB.
I'm currently running Unity from trunk (r1455) but this also happens w…
