I don't know how far he got, but it's probably worth touching base with him, unless you have already [09:09] Hold on, OTP === mdke nods [09:11] hey StevenK === sabdfl [n=sabdfl@ubuntu/member/pdpc.silver.sabdfl] has joined #ubuntu-devel === Yeah [n=ohboy@c-24-6-9-246.hsd1.ca.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:18] pitti: morning [09:18] pitti: libgphoto2 is in my ppa, but I have at least one regression report, so I am not sure anymore we want to push it [09:19] pitti: and the condition in postinst was wrong, so it is fixed now in merged package [09:19] Lure: oh, what broke? if it's too bad, it's worth filing a bug upstream, they are pretty responsive [09:19] so that it's sorted out with the opening of hardy [09:20] pitti: Lure: bad news about libgphoto2 2.4.0 (with cannon powershot A40). gphoto2 --auto-detect -L works once, next try hangs after autodetecting :( 2 x Ctrl-c to hard abort. Then it works again, 2nd hangs. etc. I see same in digikam :( [09:20] sjoerd: any idea why python-avahi contains SimpleGladeApp.py and depends on python-glade? it pulls in an awful lot of Glade/X11 dependencies but doesn't actually use any of it [09:21] pitti: it works for me for Canon G3 (UMS) and 400D (PTP) === mvo [n=egon@p54A67B1B.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:21] hey mvo [09:21] pitti: will talk with allee to check with upstream [09:21] pitti: and try to find some more testers with other digital cameras [09:23] mdke, StevenK's code is a rewrite of my code [09:23] Right, off the phone for a moment [09:23] https://code.edge.launchpad.net/about-window [09:24] mdke: Sorry about that - the two specs are: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/about-ubuntu (which is mpt's) and https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/about-ubuntu-revisited (which is mine) [09:24] mpt: excellent; that's fine, I was just checking [09:24] StevenK: there are two things I wanted to ask you about it. (1) was whether you have been thinking about merging the gnome and ubuntu about dialogues; I think it's confusing to have both, especially because your average user won't know what Gnome is. (2) was whether you can keep the documentation team in the loop about your project, especially in terms of how much of the existing document you're using, whether you envisage it remaining available in so [09:24] pitti has also had a poke around the code. [09:24] Ill read the specs now === dholbach [n=daniel@i59F728F9.versanet.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:25] mdke: I've been thinking about that - so far, the current Python code fires off hal-device-manager - perhaps it should fire up yelp. [09:25] good morning [09:25] StevenK: on (2)? [09:25] mdke: This neatly allows people to see quickly what version and so on they're running, but also lets them see more information. [09:25] mdke: Yup. [09:26] morning dholbach [09:26] StevenK: could be. [09:26] StevenK, what's the use case for the "More Information" link? [09:26] mdke: Merging the Gnome and Ubuntu about dialogs I've not thought about, and secondly, that leaves Kubuntu and so on out in the cold. [09:26] hey mdke [09:26] Kubuntu would, presumably, want a Qt About window :-) [09:27] good morning pitti [09:27] Of course. I've modarlised the code so they can have one. === MacSlow [n=mirco@unaffiliated/macslow] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:27] StevenK: ok, let's think about it :) [09:28] mpt: You removed the More Information button from your spec, if I recall. [09:28] StevenK, I don't remember whether it was ever there [09:28] it may have been [09:29] the Gnome/Ubuntu branding conflict is something I've come up against in documentation too; we reuse quite a lot of Gnome documentation, and I find it really confusing to have some documents continuously referring to "the Gnome desktop" when ever since the user has turned the computer on it's been branded as Ubuntu [09:29] but I don't think it's useful [09:29] but I don't know what the policy is with upstream and us about branding, I think it needs discussion === sabdfl [n=sabdfl@ubuntu/member/pdpc.silver.sabdfl] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:29] Much of what's in the about page would make more sense in one or two help pages.

Scribble all over https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AboutUbuntuRevisited if you wish. [09:34] StevenK: will do === StevenK subscribes to the page so he knows when mdke scribbles. :-) [09:36] pitti: It's what upstream ships inside the avahi module...

[10:56] hebrew [10:56] agoliveira: in hebrew (and arabic, etc..) sentences like "How would you like to partition your disk?" go differnetly for male and females [10:57] agoliveira: we usually phrase them for males because that's standard, or try using a plural form [10:57] hrmm [10:58] lousygarua: I see.

[11:03] they are humans, not computers.

Why doesn't this replace nvidia-glx? [11:08] (I do not refer to dpkg Replaces metadata, I mean, why doesn't nvidia-glx cease to exist) [11:08] It's a bit confusing having two packages, and sort of makes coexisting graphics cards... non-intuitive? [11:09] wasabi, +1 [11:09] I'm not asking for a vote. I'm asking for a real reason. [11:09] I'm sure there is a real reason. [11:09] Just can't seem to find it. =) [11:10] I've heard they -new supports more cards [11:10] -new includes series 100 driver which is much newer [11:10] Uh huh. Sure. And it supports old cards too, as far as I can tell. [11:11] <_MMA_> There is some overlap but -new goes higher. [11:11] wasabi: I'm not sure. I vaguely remember reading that the new drivers dropped support for series 2 cards. [11:11] shouldn't they merge? [11:12] <_MMA_> That might be a big package. :) [11:12] That's silly. [11:12] Grrr. So coexsting series 2 drivers with new stuff is not possible? [11:12] two small better than one big? [11:12] In my case (Asus G1 laptop) I need a series 100 driver or I can't switch to an external LCD via DVI [11:12] wasabi: As I said, not sure. === ogra [n=ogra@ubuntu/member/ogra] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:13] op === `23meg [n=m@ubuntu/member/-23meg] has joined #ubuntu-devel === jamesh [n=james@canonical/launchpad/jamesh] has joined #ubuntu-devel === ScottK [n=ScottK@ubuntu/member/scottk] has joined #ubuntu-devel === xtknight [n=xtknight@c-68-43-122-211.hsd1.mi.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === cassidy [n=cassidy@251.139-240-81.adsl-dyn.isp.belgacom.be] has joined #ubuntu-devel === eggauah [n=daniel@20845101.cps.virtua.com.br] has joined #ubuntu-devel === jussi_ [n=jussi@dyn3-82-128-185-239.psoas.suomi.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === cassidy_ [n=cassidy@59.196-242-81.adsl-dyn.isp.belgacom.be] has joined #ubuntu-devel === j_ack [n=j_ack@p508D800D.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel === hoora [i=hoora@gateway/tor/x-1179316ec6b48871] has joined #ubuntu-devel === jono [n=jono@ubuntu/member/jono] has joined #ubuntu-devel === johanbr [n=j@blk-224-159-249.eastlink.ca] has joined #ubuntu-devel === jussi01 [n=jussi@dyn3-82-128-185-239.psoas.suomi.net] has left #ubuntu-devel ["Konversation] === Martinp24 [n=martinp2@wikimedia/Martinp23] has joined #ubuntu-devel === mr_pouit [n=mrpouit@ubuntu/member/mrpouit] has joined #ubuntu-devel === _MMA_ [n=_MMA_@cpe-071-070-203-016.nc.res.rr.com] has left #ubuntu-devel [] === _MMA_ [n=_MMA_@cpe-071-070-203-016.nc.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel === jamesh [n=james@canonical/launchpad/jamesh] has joined #ubuntu-devel === paran [n=paran@cl-56.sto-01.se.sixxs.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === Gman [i=gman@nat/sun/x-ec9f4b25189e6274] has joined #ubuntu-devel === mdke [i=mdke@planters.dreamhost.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel === _MMA_ [n=_MMA_@cpe-071-070-203-016.nc.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel === Mez [n=Mez@ubuntu/member/mez] has joined #ubuntu-devel === tormod [n=tormod@80-219-112-71.dclient.hispeed.ch] has left #ubuntu-devel ["Ex-Chat"] === Mez [n=Mez@ubuntu/member/mez] has joined #ubuntu-devel
