[Bug 1165420] Re: Unable to access indicators from HUD

 

I really don't expect to see this patched anymore, until Unity 8 at
least. It is a regression that no dev seemed to care about, in fact, it
was stated it was a design decision, until Mr. Shuttleworth gave
voice... And then it got seemingly ignored again, while most effort went
into the mobile interface, which is now actively being ported and co-
designed for desktop usage as Unity 8. The next LTS should be shipped
with Unity 8 as default, so I guess we'll get whatever solution they
have or have not, or hopefully will found for this in Unity 8. And let's
cross our fingers there will be one, as the HUD team seems to be the
most hermetic of all Ubuntu teams regarding community feedback, so you
never know what really to expect with them, until it is done.

Title:
  Unable to access indicators from HUD

Status in Ayatana Design:
  Confirmed
Status in Unity HUD:
  Confirmed
Status in hud package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 12.10 I was able to use HUD to access Messaging menu and Gwibber's "Update Status" option there, making status updates to Twitter easy and fast.
  I could also use HUD to change my status in Empathy from Available to Busy and vice-versa.

  In Ubuntu 13.04 Beta HUD no longer finds the "Update Status" option when typing "Update Status" or "Update"
  Also writing "Available" "Away" or "Busy" no longer gives any results.

  Other indicators however are accessible and I can use HUD to Suspend
  my computer or to view Skype status or Ubuntu one indicator options.

  Repeating:
  1. Press alt key to start HUD
  2. Write "Update status" or "Available"

  What was expected:
  HUD should have shown options ether from Gwibber to Update Status or Empathy to change status to Available both available from the messaging indicator.

  What happened:
  HUD didn't find any results.

  Notes:
  I have Ubuntu 13.04 Beta 64bit upgraded from Ubuntu 12.10 64bits and I'm using proprietary fglrx drivers.
