| mpt | BenC, what would be the feasibility of merging "Suspend" and "Hibernate"? Does code for such a merged function exist for Linux like it does for OS X and Vista? | 04:41 |
| mpt | (I wouldn't even know where to look, and Google's not helping) | 04:42 |
| BenC | mpt: I'm not sure what you mean by merging it | 04:42 |
| mpt | Suspending to disk, then to ram | 04:43 |
| mpt | So it's like suspend-to-RAM, but if you lose power, you don't lose your session | 04:43 |
| mpt | aka "Sleep" in Vista and "Safe Sleep" in OS X | 04:43 |
| HrdwrBoB | surely that would take significantly longer | 04:44 |
| HrdwrBoB | especially on laptops with slow hard drives? | 04:44 |
| mpt | yes, it does | 04:45 |
| Lathiat | mpt: suspend2 does that | 04:46 |
| Lathiat | if you dont lose power it wakes up pretty quick, else resumes from disk if it dies/gets turned off | 04:46 |
| Lathiat | works quite nice | 04:46 |
| Lathiat | (but we're not using suspend2) | 04:47 |
| === mpt finds https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/ubuntu-suspend2 | ||
| mpt | but, HrdwrBoB, it removes one of the places where people have to understand the difference between "disk" and "memory", which they rarely do | 04:53 |
| HrdwrBoB | true | 04:53 |
| mpt | and it helps reduce the "dozen different ways to log out" embarrassment :-) | 04:54 |
| Burgundavia | mjg59 has been looking more into this. He is probably the best person to talk to | 04:56 |
| mpt | ta | 04:59 |
| BenC | mpt: main thing is that suspend2 is way too much of a code delta for us to maintain in our kernel | 05:05 |
| BenC | mpt: The onus is on the suspend2 maintainers to work out the problems with their code base and get it merged into upstream | 05:05 |
| mpt | ah | 05:05 |
| fabbione | yeah these patches are just too intrusive | 05:10 |
| fabbione | mpt: we have been looking at suspend2 since warty or something :) | 05:10 |

| mpt | Well, I don't know the target audience for UWN | 05:51 |
| mpt | But for me, the lists of new package versions make my eyes glaze over | 05:51 |
| Burgundavia | right, thanks | 05:51 |
| mpt | That's my only non-misspelling-of-people's-names complaint | 05:51 |
| Burgundavia | what wouldn't make your eyes glaze over? | 05:51 |
| mpt | Hmm | 05:52 |
| mpt | Perhaps give a total number of packages, and say "including new versions of A, B, and C" | 05:52 |
| elkbuntu | mpt, so the numbers are frying your brain as well? | 05:52 |
| mpt | where A, B, and C are some of the more interesting ones | 05:52 |
| Burgundavia | elkbuntu: I read that section last week and cringed | 05:53 |
| elkbuntu | Burgundavia, i didnt read it. i glanced and gave up | 05:53 |
| Burgundavia | indeed | 05:54 |
| Mithrandir | Burgundavia: for the list, I would consider actually using a bullet list (or drop the version numbers). | 05:57 |
| Burgundavia | mpt: can you come to -marketing? | 05:57 |
| Burgundavia | I dropping version numbers in most cases is a good idea | 05:58 |

| wasabi | hi | 06:05 |
| ajmitch | hello wasabi | 06:05 |
| wasabi | AD rocks. | 06:05 |
| wasabi | just had to drop by to give my two cents. | 06:05 |
| ajmitch | wasabi must have his irc client highlighting on AD | 06:05 |
| wasabi | "directory" actually. | 06:06 |
| wasabi | Speaking of which, I'm reconstructing cyrus imap right now. | 06:06 |
| wasabi | And I'm pretty pissed and wish I was using Exchange instead. ;) | 06:06 |
| wasabi | take that! | 06:06 |
| ajmitch | it's that bad? | 06:06 |
| wasabi | it's just a lot of silly manual work. | 06:06 |
| wasabi | I upgraded to 2.2, which seems to require me to manually upgrade each BDB file. | 06:06 |
| wasabi | Which of course in fact corrupted each bdb file. | 06:07 |
| Mithrandir | I'm very, very wary of products using BDB | 06:07 |
| wasabi | Generally I am as well. | 06:07 |
| wasabi | But, ya know. It works. Barely. | 06:07 |
| wasabi | I suspect it's less BDB's fault these days and more the consumers. | 06:07 |
| wasabi | I have discovered yet another core lacking factor which will have to be overcome to "do what AD does". | 06:08 |
| Mithrandir | my current policy for bdb-using software these days is "if it just uses bdb for caching, I'm fine. If it uses it for permanent storage, I'm not happy" | 06:08 |
| wasabi | Sasl has no concept of a unique immutable ID. | 06:08 |
| wasabi | Which basically means cyrus names the mailbox based on the user that logs in, not some unique property of said user. | 06:09 |
| Mithrandir | you seem to want to support user name renames, which I think is just plain silly. | 06:09 |
| wasabi | Whatever. AD does it. | 06:09 |
| wasabi | Novell does it. | 06:09 |
| wasabi | You try to tell a customer they can't do it, you get shut out. | 06:09 |
| wasabi | There's also nothing fundamentally wrong with it. | 06:10 |
| wasabi | If built right. | 06:10 |
| Mithrandir | *shrug*; it's adding yet another abstraction layer. Add a user name => uuid mapping and carry the uuid around everywhere you use user names today. | 06:11 |
| wasabi | Yes, it is an abstaction. It can be argued it is useful though. Users type in their username. Typing in jhaltom is easier to remember than 23494843 | 06:12 |
| lifeless | there are ways and ways of supporting user renames | 06:12 |
| wasabi | Just need to build some sort of authid->uniqueid mapping into all these various libs, and get people using them. | 06:12 |
| wasabi | Doesn't matter if a particular installation chooses a posix id or a uuid or a sid then. | 06:13 |
| Mithrandir | wasabi: yes, and if you want to support user renames, you then have to change the user name everywhere it's used, not really hard. | 06:13 |
| Mithrandir | that's an easier way to do it. | 06:13 |
| wasabi | Not exactly. | 06:13 |
| wasabi | Consider, oh, for instance, Google, my prime use case. | 06:13 |
| wasabi | Mostly because they came up to me at UDS and said it sucked. | 06:13 |
| wasabi | They have 44 kerberos KDCs. Same number of lDAP servers. For any given user, his name could be strewn across a hundred different servers. | 06:14 |
| wasabi | Apache authz files, crontab files, whatever. | 06:14 |
| wasabi | Consider AD then. You right click on the user and hit "rename". Done. | 06:14 |
| wasabi | Nothing breaks. | 06:14 |
| wasabi | Since everything was keyed on the SID to begin with. | 06:15 |
| Mithrandir | you're trying to change fairly fundemantal bit of how unix apps work here; I see a long and uphill battle in your future. | 06:16 |
| maswan | Well, for the directory (kdc,ldap) you just need to build a click-rename thingie just like AD has. | 06:16 |
| lifeless | wasabi: acrually, thats a vast handwave | 06:16 |
| maswan | For the rest, well, don't use usernames. | 06:16 |
| maswan | Use uids instead | 06:16 |
| wasabi | lifeless: Not really. | 06:16 |
| lifeless | wasabi: renames of the account name in AD do not rename everything | 06:16 |
| wasabi | lifeless: They don't rename files named "bob" on the HD. But roaming profiles keep working. | 06:16 |
| lifeless | wasabi: for instance, the local profile is named on disk with the username, not the UUID. | 06:16 |
| wasabi | Yes, but it's keyed by the SID. | 06:17 |
| lifeless | sure. | 06:17 |
| wasabi | The name of the folder is immaterial. | 06:17 |
| wasabi | Logins to new systems will have a new properly named folder created. Logins to old ones will contiue using the old folder. | 06:17 |
| wasabi | If another user assumes the old name, old systems will give him a new folder, name.DOMAINNAME. | 06:17 |
| wasabi | And some pattern thereof to generate a unique one. | 06:18 |
| lifeless | I know | 06:18 |
| lifeless | I've spent years of my life on that platform | 06:18 |
| wasabi | What it comes down to though is not assuming the username will rename, at all points. | 06:18 |
| lifeless | I've three key comments here, then you can return your previously scheduled rant. | 06:18 |
| wasabi | =) | 06:18 |
| lifeless | 1) its not a trivial change to unix to do this 'just like AD' | 06:19 |
| lifeless | 2) look at what suns directory server, or NDS for Unix do, as that is more relevant prior art IMO | 06:19 |
| wasabi | Hey, I recognize I'm whining on IRC. ;) | 06:19 |
| wasabi | 1) Of course. Sucks, doesn't it? | 06:20 |
| lifeless | 3) spec it up, get upstream community buyin - this is not something that it makes sense to drive within a distribution - the changes are too big, and too sweeping | 06:20 |
| lifeless | there, I'm done :) | 06:20 |
| wasabi | 2) Yeah. I need to look at those. I'm curious what they've done. At the same time, I recognize they don't have much market share, maybe for a reason? This one reason? No clue. | 06:20 |
| maswan | If you plan for it resonably, doing a username change is not that hard, IME. | 06:20 |
| wasabi | 3) That's the goal. | 06:21 |
| maswan | If you use the username all over dozens of different software systems as identifiers, it gets tricky, but you usually don't have to. | 06:21 |
| wasabi | How in the world does one get ahold of Sun directory server and NDS anyways? | 06:21 |
| wasabi | ahh hah there it is | 06:22 |
| wasabi | lifeless: As I get further and further into this it become more clear that it is less of a technical problem and more of a political problem. I suspect most people come from a large AD environment or know what to expect in one. | 06:24 |
| wasabi | s/come/do not come/ | 06:24 |
| wasabi | Nor even really understand the benefits. | 06:24 |
| wasabi | And if told downplay said benefits. =) | 06:25 |
| Mithrandir | in some way, this discussion reminds me of the old "but CVS doesn't know how to rename files" discussion where most people who used CVS just didn't care that it didn't support file renames; you just ignored that missing feature and went on with your life. Maybe not ideal, but it worked and wasn't a real pain at all. | 06:27 |
| wasabi | Mithrandir: I guess. It also sort of resulted in CVS being removed as a viable competitor in the commercial world, imo. | 06:27 |
| wasabi | Ya know, hence the invention of ClearCase and all the others. | 06:28 |
| wasabi | And now those are pretty well established. | 06:28 |
| Mithrandir | wasabi: oh, I know plenty of software companies happy with CVS. | 06:28 |
| wasabi | Software companies, sure. | 06:29 |
| Mithrandir | (and those aren't interested in free software, they just want an RCS) | 06:29 |
| wasabi | I guess I speak of a different set of users. | 06:30 |
| wasabi | Those who want an RCS, but will never in their life even comprehend editing a cvs repository to move a file. | 06:31 |
| wasabi | Which, in my probably naive opinion, makes up the majority. | 06:31 |
| wasabi | You know, all those who ended up on SourceSafe, simply because it accomplished the common case. | 06:31 |
| wasabi | And then all ran to Vault when those guys released that and are now being sucked back into the MS fold with Team Server. | 06:32 |
| wasabi | me->bed. Night. | 06:33 |

| evilynux | Ubuntu Sponsors for universe is in Subscribers to bug 73424. So that's it? | 07:14 |
| Ubugtu | Malone bug 73424 in mail-notification "Request for a sync with debian's package" [Undecided,Unconfirmed] http://launchpad.net/bugs/73424 | 07:14 |
| evilynux | Stefan said: subscribe ubuntu-universe-sponsors and wait for an ack, then subscribe ubuntu-archive. | 07:19 |
| evilynux | Which ack did he meant? And again, subscribe ubuntu-archive to the bug or subscribe to the mailing list? | 07:19 |
| dholbach | https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019922.html for the sponsoring process | 07:20 |

| === raphink [n=raphink@ubuntu/member/raphink] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| dholbach | evilynux: you did it right - somebody of the motu team will check that the changes can indeed be dropped, then ask ubuntu-archive to do the sync | 07:23 |
| evilynux | dholbach: great | 07:23 |
| ogra | hey dholbach | 07:24 |
| evilynux | ogra: hmm.. that indicates that i still need to subscribe ubuntu-archive to the bug?? | 07:24 |
| dholbach | heya ogra | 07:24 |
| evilynux | or does having "Ubuntu Sponsors for universe" nullifies the need to add ubuntu-archive? | 07:25 |
| dholbach | evilynux: they'll take care of that | 07:25 |
| ogra | evilynux, well, if you are sure that everything can be dropped you can do it, else i'd go with dholbachs suggestion and leave it up to the motu to check | 07:25 |
| evilynux | alright | 07:26 |

| pitti | Mithrandir: AFAIR yes | 09:43 |
| Mithrandir | fabbione: technically, it's a herd 1 blocker, but given that none of us has come up with "do those steps to reproduce", I'm not sure treating it as a blocker makes sense. | 09:44 |
| fabbione | Mithrandir: just clean installed on feisty with no problems | 09:45 |
| Mithrandir | fabbione: oh sure, it's _something_ which changed the symlink at some point in the past. The job is to find out what. | 09:45 |

| ogra | i didnt have the time to do more than merges yet, i dont even know if my seeds are fine ... (but worst case i'd skip herd1) | 10:55 |
| ogra | i skipped the first milestone for edgy as welll ... | 10:55 |
| Mithrandir | cjwatson: ok, thanks. | 10:55 |
| Mithrandir | ogra: kubuntu is probably skipping; this is more to see if we have our shit somewhat holding together than anything else, really. | 10:56 |
| ogra | yep, as it was in edgy ... | 10:56 |
| cjwatson | traditionally we have done the first milestone as soon as the installer works. | 10:56 |
| ogra | lets see, if i arrive home in 4-5h i'll check the seeds ... | 10:56 |
| cjwatson | what's to check? | 10:57 |

| pitti | mvo: for ZeroConfNetworking it is necessary to inform the user about an incompatible network configuration for ipv4ll (existence of a .local network in unicast DNS); i. e. a dhcp client script needs to send out a dbus message which something in the desktop needs to pick up and show a notification | 11:15 |
| sladen | interesting, this looks like it's been around since 2004. And still not reckoned to be from samba | 11:15 |
| mvo | pitti: and you have a paricular application in mind ,) ? | 11:15 |
| pitti | mvo: and I wondered what this 'something' could be; (event-notifier!!) | 11:15 |
| pitti | mvo: we should really do a proper event-notifier spec for feisty+1 | 11:15 |
| mvo | pitti: totally. it really gets out of hand :) | 11:16 |
| pitti | mvo: I don't really mind whether we do that in u-n or in g-v-m; I just like to hear your opinion | 11:16 |
| fabbione | sladen: i did check the sources from warty to feisty | 11:17 |
| fabbione | sladen: none of the dh_installinit or even samba EXAMPLES use K09 | 11:17 |
| sladen | fabbione: the only hint in those other dups I've just found is tht it might be g-s-t (!?!?!?! crack) | 11:17 |
| fabbione | sladen: i was looking at that source too | 11:18 |
| fabbione | sladen: but no luck yet | 11:18 |
| mvo | pitti: I don't really mind either way, it seems like its not a perfect fit for both of them | 11:18 |
| sladen | fabbione: 09 = 100-91, wonder if something is getting inverted | 11:18 |

| pitti | mvo: in the end it wouldn't make much of a difference | 11:50 |
| pitti | mvo: notify-send calls a org.freedesktop.Notification function | 11:50 |
| pitti | mvo: and with u-n it would just call a different function, but still something on the session dbus | 11:50 |
| pitti | mvo: if we want a better solution, then we should have something asynchronous that picks up avahi disabling at system bootup time, too | 11:51 |
| pitti | i. e. if avahi is disabled at the time of /etc/init.d/networking start, then there will not be an user session yet | 11:51 |

| fabbione | cjwatson: that's exactly what i am looking at | 12:04 |

| sjoerd | anyaway, need to retry getting some sense into the debian nss-mdns guy... | 12:42 |

| sjoerd | yup, he fucked up my and joeyh's changes.. Sent some private mail later offering his appolagies and then he stopped answering again :( | 12:43 |
| sjoerd | you still can have nss-mdns installed when you don't have -autoipd right ? | 12:43 |
| gnomefreak | mvo: if your around i can really use your opinion on an apt issue | 12:43 |
| sjoerd | nss-mdns isn't just for when you've got a LL ip | 12:44 |
| pitti | sjoerd: right, it just won't do anything | 12:44 |
| pitti | (with the ministack disabled) | 12:44 |
| sjoerd | why won't it do anything ? you don't enable avahi if you haven't got an LL ip ? | 12:44 |
| sjoerd | nss-mdns will nicely resolve ip's for you when avahi is enabled.. It doesn't matter what kind of address you have | 12:45 |
| pitti | sjoerd: if avahi-autoipd is not running, ipv4ll addresses aren't resolved (in my tests at least) | 12:45 |
| sjoerd | .local addresses are | 12:45 |
| sjoerd | ipv4ll address should be too | 12:45 |
| pitti | sjoerd: but you are right, putting this check into libnss-mdns might be more robust | 12:45 |
| pitti | sjoerd: that didn't work for me | 12:46 |
| sjoerd | well, avahi-daemon if the ministack is disabled anyway | 12:46 |
| pitti | avahi-autoipd seems to 'inject' the ipv4ll dns knowledge into avahi daemon, or so | 12:46 |
| sjoerd | neh | 12:46 |
| pitti | without it, I didn't get either avahi services nor .local name resolution | 12:46 |
| gnomefreak | pitti: i added you to a bug because i coulsnt find you. i think i am able to remove you from it because i had it happen without your repo yesterday. | 12:46 |
| sjoerd | If you resolve an ipv4ll ip without actually having one avahi-daemon will probably return right away because it's got no usefull interface to resolv on | 12:47 |

| pitti | gnomefreak: ah, this reminds me of a similar bug mvo and I discussed the other day, apt-index-watcher messing up the indices | 12:48 |
| pitti | sjoerd: but if I put the check into a different script, then I cannot stop avahi-autoipd from being spawned from the interface any more | 12:49 |
| gnomefreak | could very well be but that would happen more often for the apt-index-watcher no? | 12:49 |

| cjwatson | garnacho: right, but it's possible to end up with an unsupported distribution on Ubuntu easily enough if e.g. (a) you think it's a good idea to remove /etc/debian_version and (b) you upgrade base-files without also upgrading system-tools-backends | 12:56 |
| sladen | could this occur in the middle of an upgrade when the particular variation of distribution might be "unsupported" | 12:56 |
| cjwatson | sladen: did you remove /etc/debian_version, by any chance? | 12:56 |
| cjwatson | sladen: only if /etc/debian_version is removed | 12:56 |
| sladen | cjwatson: testing/unstable | 12:56 |
| garnacho | cjwatson: there's /etc/lsb_release too, g-s-t would detect that first | 12:57 |
| sladen | cjwatson: however, *during upgrade*, is that file removed at any point? | 12:57 |
| cjwatson | garnacho: upgrading base-files means that /etc/lsb-release is changed, and would have a value that system-tools-backends won't recognise until upgraded. | 12:57 |
| cjwatson | garnacho: /me <- person who tends to upload base-files for this ;-) | 12:57 |
| sladen | garnacho: it's not calling 'lsb_release' is it. That will fail as we don't install an LSB compliant system by default | 12:58 |
| bhale | Mithrandir: could you please give archive love to beagle? i am trying to get people to test it | 12:58 |
| cjwatson | sladen: lsb_release> no, and it doesn't fail | 12:58 |

| sladen | cjwatson: nods | 12:59 |
| Mithrandir | bhale: shouldn't the latter be libbeagle-cil or something then? | 12:59 |
| cjwatson | oh, /etc/debian_version could have been "3.1" at one point in the past, and perhaps system-tools-backends didn't know about Debian 3.1 then | 01:00 |
| cjwatson | in whatever version we happened to have at the time, or that users happened to have installd | 01:00 |

| cjwatson | /etc/debian_version said 3.1 in hoary | 01:01 |
| seb128 | cjwatson: might be a good idea to break debian_version on purpose and note if that lead to a breakage | 01:01 |
| garnacho | cjwatson: however, seems an unlikely "race condition", would require to run s-t-b (detects distro at init) while base-files is being reinstalled | 01:01 |

| cjwatson | garnacho: as opposed to the current code that forces you to pick a similar distribution | 01:03 |
| garnacho | no, g-s-t always forced you to pick a distribution | 01:04 |
| cjwatson | hmm, ok | 01:04 |
| cjwatson | garnacho: can I persuade you to add sanity checks for those paths being undefined anyway, for my peace of mind? :-) | 01:04 |
| garnacho | even more, now s-t-b caches the detected platform, so if you decide to remove lsb_release or debian_version, should work anyways | 01:04 |
| garnacho | cjwatson: it's in my TODO :) | 01:05 |
| cjwatson | thanks | 01:05 |
| sladen | cjwatson: interesting thing is that until today, I don't think I've ever run Services Admin (so hopefully unless it was init scripts, then it would not have had root-level sudo foo at any point to create the symlink) | 01:05 |
| cjwatson | frustrating though, I thought I'd at last found out how that was happening to people | 01:05 |
| cjwatson | sladen: how about any of the other g-s-t programs? somebody in the bug reported the symlink timestamp being the same as network-admin being run | 01:06 |

| garnacho | cjwatson: hmm, and is the program guaranteed to be present? | 01:21 |
| cjwatson | garnacho: yes | 01:21 |
| cjwatson | the program is the thing that's specified in the LSB, not the file | 01:22 |

| cjwatson | http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_3.1.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/lsbrelease.html | 01:23 |

| cjwatson | lsb_release -d -s and lsb_release -r -s are the ones you probably want | 01:24 |

| pitti | BenC: the field splitting is certainly just a SMOP, but the ulimit -c setting? | 03:29 |
| pitti | BenC: ah, right, then the core_pattern process could decide itself when to stop reading from the pipe | 03:29 |
| pitti | BenC: that would work for me; do you think that upstream would approve this? | 03:30 |
| BenC | pitti: Right, no need to be concerned with a file size, when we aren't writing files | 03:30 |
| BenC | pitti: I can argue the case and see what happens | 03:30 |

| Keybuk | we only care about 2.6.19 though, yes? | 04:31 |
| Keybuk | (feisty) | 04:31 |
| BenC | ata_generic is blacklisted in edgy, right? | 04:31 |
| BenC | no, I care about dapper and edgy too, actually | 04:32 |
| Keybuk | in dapper and edgy we have ide-generic, no? | 04:32 |
| BenC | we fix this, and it will keep us from chasing new IDE chipsets | 04:32 |
| Keybuk | which supports it as a module param, iirc | 04:32 |
| BenC | not in edgy it doesn't | 04:32 |
| BenC | err ide-generic isn't what we are talking about | 04:32 |

| cjwatson | jayteeuk: we did try to include it by default in the dapper cycle, but ran into fairly massive breakage, which is why we don't | 05:38 |
| abattoir | cjwatson: ok, thanks, i was thinking of porting oem-config-kde to qt4 | 05:38 |
| elmo | can NM do static addresses yet? | 05:38 |

| pitti | jayteeuk: indeed it would be really useful to have someone who would test, search for bugs, and report them upstream (i.e. doing coordination) | 05:49 |
| pitti | lamont: however, in the end this could require some more in-depth debugging; is it possible to get a (non-root) ssh on that box? | 05:50 |
| lamont | pitti: not trivially, no | 05:50 |
| pitti | lamont: ok, I'll look at the log and reply with some further questions | 05:50 |

| aleka | If anyone knows of any work that has been done in this area/that is being done... | 09:12 |
| jordi | aleka: first, do you know if there are free amharic fonts available? | 09:13 |
| jordi | aleka: I can see ethiopian just perfectly in my system | 09:13 |
| aleka | jordi, I have downloaded a couple of .ttfs | 09:13 |
| aleka | have added these fonts under fonts:/// | 09:13 |
| aleka | but most of the Amharic script fonts out there are written for windows environment.. | 09:14 |
| aleka | I haven't had any luck yet of getting one to work on Ubuntu | 09:14 |
| aleka | I can view it too in a web browser, | 09:15 |
| aleka | on the launchpad pages, the Amharic pages... i can read all of these perfectly.. | 09:15 |
| aleka | problem is, writting them.... | 09:16 |
| aleka | specially since i am interested in helping with translation... i want to be able to type and get those fonts... | 09:16 |
| sladen | aleka: if we're not shipping fonts by default for a particular language (and you know why to find free+distributable fonts), then that's a bug and we'd like to make that work out of the box | 09:16 |
| Amaranth | if you can read them without those windows-only fonts that part is fine | 09:16 |
| sladen | aleka: if you can view Amharic via the web-browser, then the fonts are there and working | 09:17 |
| aleka | I thought FF handled Unicode fonts on the fly, evenif you don't have those fonts downloaded | 09:18 |
| sladen | aleka: TTFs are TTFs, Linux can cope with them either way | 09:18 |
| Amaranth | aleka: Nope, you have to have a font to render them | 09:18 |
| aleka | How could I get this fonts active to write (for example in Openoffice) | 09:18 |
| sladen | any programs displaying text needs to be able to get the fonts from somewhere. normally locally | 09:18 |
| Amaranth | aleka: If they worked before you added those extra fonts then you don't need the extras | 09:18 |
| Amaranth | aleka: You need to type something in that language | 09:18 |
| sladen | aleka: it should be just the case of starting to type! | 09:18 |
| sladen | aleka: missing characters are fetching (replaced) from other fonts | 09:19 |

| aleka | Ok.. say I downloaded one ttf called "jiret", under windows, this self instals and opening MS word and typing produces the Amharic fonts, In ubuntu, I added this .ttf under my fonts dir, and chose this font in OO, when typing, i still get english characters | 09:20 |
| sladen | aleka: is the keyboard set to Amharic? | 09:21 |
| aleka | how/where would I set that? | 09:21 |
| Amaranth | aleka: You need to type Amharic letters, not English letters | 09:21 |
| aleka | I do apologize guys, as I understand this is not the right room to be asking for support for such a silly feature... | 09:21 |
| Amaranth | hmm | 09:22 |
| sladen | aleka: when you install you'd normally select the keyboard type. Or System->Preferences->Keyboard after installation | 09:22 |
| Amaranth | System->Preferences->Keyboard does not have an Amharic setting | 09:22 |
| aleka | most of these fonts are phonetic... you type the english character and it produces the corresponding phonetic character in amharic... | 09:22 |
| sladen | aleka: ah okay, I understand the concept, but it seems kludgey when we have Unicode | 09:23 |
| sladen | aleka: can you try copying and pasting some text from Firefox into OpenOffice. Does the text display fine | 09:24 |
| aleka | I can not do this now as I am at work on an Xp machine...but that is an idea | 09:25 |

| lehaid | nobody knows how to make make show me the compile flag | 11:02 |
| lehaid | ? | 11:02 |
| lehaid | not as verbose as make -n | 11:02 |
| ogra | pitti, argh, looks like we will need cmake in main for the new cdrecord | 11:05 |
| ogra | (cdrkit/wodim) | 11:06 |

| pitti | ogra: that doesn't sound too scary | 11:26 |
| ogra | well 2 "makes" ? do we need that ? | 11:27 |
| pitti | ogra: 2? I bet we have at least 5 build systems in main, probably more | 11:28 |
| ogra | hmm, and a transition from cdrecord to wodim will be needed | 11:28 |
| lehaid | thanks for all the help, got what i wanted to work, good day (especially jdong) ! | 11:30 |
| pitti | ogra: make, autotools, ant, scons, etc. | 11:30 |

| ogra | yep, i just thought there were security reasons or duplication reasons why we didnt have it in main yet ... | 11:30 |
| ogra | how did cdrkit get to main anyway, that looks strange ... | 11:33 |
