Walsh <suse@tlinx.org> 2014-01-16 15:47:48 PST --- bug 856476 is about bad UI problems -- having the user wait synchronously while something that should have or could be done in background is bad UI design. That the problem happens twice -- once as a normal user and again as root, is even worse, as I tried to bring some config file in the editor as root to find out why the editor was taking so long for the normal user. --- This bug is specifically about questionable statement that separate caches are needed for 32 and 64 bit x86 machine -- on the same machine -- and that the fonts being installed, -- are marked "no-arch" -- meaning there shouldn't be any arch-specific differences. The X server (and the xfs x font server), and the free-type routines that have been used for decades all could use the same font files. even the font-scale and font-dir files were arch-independent. To create a disaster that needs arch specific files from arch-neutral data is a terrible. The idea is to make things easier and faster. So this bug is about the supposed necessity of needing a 32 and a 64 bit fc-cache on the same architecture (x86). The other is about not doing it when the user is bringing up an editor or browser to find the phone number for the police in an emergency (to stretch or make a point). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
