[04:33] <tonyyarusso> Hi..I have a question regarding device drivers and development bounties:
[04:35] <tonyyarusso> I just bought a digital voice recorder, and while it registers in /var/log/syslog and 'lsusb', it doesn't seem to show up in /dev as anything recognizable or mount itself.  Googling hasn't come up with anything yet (still looking), but I may be stuck unless I can get someone to write a driver for it.
[04:36] <tonyyarusso> I would be willing in principle to offer a bounty for such a thing, but given my budget I would not be able to make it very much - certainly not market rate for a programmer.  So, with bounties, are most people happy to see any sort of bounty being offered, or would they find a small one (say, ~$15) insulting and actually be less likely to help me?
[04:39] <LaserJock> I suppose you could find like-minded people and pool resources
[04:40] <tonyyarusso> Do you think there would be enough people with this particular recorder using Linux for that to make a difference?
[04:41] <LaserJock> well, you only need to find 1 rich one ;-)
[04:41] <tonyyarusso> haha
[04:42] <tonyyarusso> So....college buddies - who's rich?  Darn.
[04:42] <tonyyarusso> But anyway, the more important point is, even if they wouldn't do it for a low amount, would I at least not be offending anyone by offering it?
[04:44] <LaserJock> I'd think as long as you are upfront in saying you realize that it isn't equal to the amount of time required
[04:44] <LaserJock> more of a token offering
[04:45] <tonyyarusso> Okay.
[04:45] <tonyyarusso> Thank you.
[08:58] <Hobbsee> hey ogra 
[08:58] <ogra> yo
[09:05] <Lathiat> 
[09:06] <dade`> 
[10:42] (ogra/#ubuntu-devel) /usr/lib/pygtk/2.0/demos/colorsel.py
[10:46] <viller> can I acces the color selector directly in pygtk (i'm a n00b sorry :P)
[10:47] <viller> ?
[10:52] <ogra> viller, hit alt+F2 and type in: python /usr/lib/pygtk/2.0/demos/colorsel.py 
[10:52] <viller> I already tested it
[10:53] <ogra> if you want to run it from a program you write look at the code of /usr/lib/pygtk/2.0/demos/colorsel.py
[10:53] <viller> ok
[10:54] <viller> the gtk color selector should have a value slider IMO
[03:16] <sivang> jono: ping
[03:17] <sivang> jono: actually, unping
[03:17] <sivang> nm
[05:36] <ogra> BenC, any idea about bug 73336 ? 
[05:36] <Ubugtu> Malone bug 73336 in linux-source-2.6.19 "linux-libc-dev is missing linux/linkage.h header" [Undecided,Unconfirmed]  http://launchpad.net/bugs/73336
[06:51] <mhb> hi all, do you know if one can translate the "Unsafe device removal" message that appears when you remove a USB stick without ejecting it first? I tried grepping /usr/share/locale-langpack but I can find it neither there or in Rosetta
[07:57] <pianoboy3333> Where can I get the latest libnautilus-burn?
[08:40] <theCore> who should I ask for getting a mailing list for my team?
[09:34] <corduroy> i have edgy installed and use the courier mail server.  i want to the latest release of courier.  before i start building my own new packagage, is there a repo of "testing" packages for ubuntu.. stuff that hasn't been qa'd yet?
[09:37] <corduroy> grimboy: you mean /etc/motd?
[09:41] <mdke> theCore: mailman@lists.ubuntu.com (it says it on the front page, near the top)
[09:54] <theCore> mdke, I did send an email but I didn't receive any responses 
[09:54] <theCore> that why I am asking
[10:47] <ssam> is pitti around? i have a possible security bug (i think restricted to powerpc)
[10:48] <Mithrandir> pitti: ^^
[10:50] <ssam> or a developer with a powerpc machine who i can talk to
[11:42] <mdke> theCore: that's the address
[11:42] <Chipzz> ssam: if you're referring to the libwv crash, there was a little discussion about that here yesterday, and IIRC the consensus was that it was not a security bug
[11:44] <theCore> mdke, thanks  
[11:45] <theCore> mdke, I resent my email a few hours ago
[12:04] <FliesLikeABrick> has it ever been discussed to have a minimal CD that downloads the packages needed for a ubuntu installation at install time, resulting in a 50MB image or so rather than a 600+MB image?
[12:04] <FliesLikeABrick> like debian has
[12:04] <mdke> theCore: fine. It may have just arrived at the wrong time (summit)
[12:05] <Burgundavia> FliesLikeABrick: that is called netinstall and it already exists
[12:06] <FliesLikeABrick> I have never seen a CD image for it and I'm not talking about a full CD-less net install
[12:06] <FliesLikeABrick> I'm talking about something that looks and feels like an alternate install CD, but instead of using packages on the disk it downloads from apt repos
[12:07] <FliesLikeABrick> hm
[12:07] <stgraber> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso
[12:07] <FliesLikeABrick> yeah just found that
[12:08] <FliesLikeABrick> why isn't that advertised at all?
[12:08] <FliesLikeABrick> I think that a ton of people would use that if they knew about it
