| tkamppeter_ | slangasek, geser. with today's updates --ignore-missing-info in HPLIP works again. | 00:03 |
|---|---|---|
| tkamppeter_ | Should I re-introduce --ignore-missing-info in HPLIP's Debian SVN or leave it away for backportability? | 00:04 |
| slangasek | tkamppeter_: as I said above, --ignore-missing-info is the wrong solution to the problem | 00:04 |
| slangasek | tkamppeter_: the real problem is that hplip contains a library, which binaries in the hpijs package link against, but there's no proper shlib declaration for this relationship | 00:05 |
| slangasek | so hpijs just depends on "hplip", which is wrong, because future versions of hplip may ship a lib with a different soname | 00:05 |
| tkamppeter_ | slangasek, so I will inform Mark Purcell. | 00:05 |
| slangasek | ok | 00:05 |
| slangasek | or if you like, I can file a bug on the Debian package this weekend | 00:05 |
| tkamppeter_ | slangasek, this would be great. Please do it. | 00:06 |

| minghua | I wonder if there is enough interest to improve the texlive packages in gutsy. | 05:09 |
| minghua | The texlive stuff in gutsy is not particularly in good shape, and with the recent security upgrade, people are start seeing upgrade failures, such as bug 174569. | 05:12 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 174569 in texlive-bin "postinst failure during gutsy security update" [Unknown,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/174569 | 05:12 |
| minghua | TeXlive upstream developers, as well as Debian texlive maintainer, Norbert, proposes to upgrade texlive version to at least 2007-11. | 05:13 |
| minghua | (gutsy currently have 2007-10) | 05:13 |
| minghua | IMHO it's pretty bad to have upgrade failures for security updates... | 05:15 |

| StEaLtHtHiEf | I have an easy question. Can I develop a program that for example, when the user hits a key combination, like shift+enter, a circle is drawn around the mouse pointer until the key's are depressed erasing the circle? | 07:35 |
| persia | StEaLtHtHiEf: Yes. | 07:37 |
| StEaLtHtHiEf | is there a site that I can go read up on this, i don't wanna both you for info if there is something out there already. | 07:38 |
| persia | StEaLtHtHiEf: That's a harder question. I suspect that x.org likely has some pointers to the right specifications, but I'm not sure. | 07:40 |
| StEaLtHtHiEf | ubuntuforums.org isn't working for me | 07:41 |
| StEaLtHtHiEf | so that is why I am here, I am looking to try to develop a program so that I can stop using panels. Sort of a shift+mouse_button_1 menu that comes up around the mouse. | 07:43 |
| persia | StEaLtHtHiEf: Ah. This isn't really a support forum, even for developing applications on Ubuntu or for Ubuntu. You might look at how fluxbox does it: there is a contextual menu there. | 07:52 |
| StEaLtHtHiEf | Not looking for support, just needed an answer to my first question. second was just idle conversation. | 07:54 |
| StEaLtHtHiEf | And I do thank you for pointing me in a direction. | 07:54 |
| persia | StEaLtHtHiEf: Ah. Excellent then :) Sorry for the confusion. | 07:54 |
| StEaLtHtHiEf | no problem! | 07:54 |
| Lore2 | I've done a little programming in windows, but I've got no experience programming under linux, what kind of material should I read if I want to fix bugs / improve functionality? | 08:05 |
| StEaLtHtHiEf | i can't get the ubuntu forum page to come up | 08:09 |
| StEaLtHtHiEf | but there is a development forum, might be programming or something. | 08:09 |
| StEaLtHtHiEf | Somewhere there, is what your looking for. As I said, the page isn't working for me, and I can't tell you exactly | 08:10 |
| persia | Lore2: I'd suggest looking at similar code as a good way to learn. Most of the APIs have docs, but it's not often in a HOWTO format. | 08:10 |
| Lore2 | As i'm very unfamiliar with linux, could you name a couple of the commonly used API's so I can pull up the documentation for them? | 08:11 |
| slangasek | "POSIX"? :) | 08:12 |
| Lore2 | that's it? | 08:12 |
| slangasek | that's one of the more important core APIs | 08:12 |
| persia | X has a bunch. GTK and QT are popular. | 08:12 |
| slangasek | there are lots of others, but tend to be specific to context | 08:12 |
| Lore2 | Just out of curiosity is KDE/QT better than GNOME/GTK atm? I've noticed some missing features in gnome that I've heard are in KDE. | 08:19 |

| ogra | asac, you dont happen to be around, do you ? | 12:35 |
| asac | ogra: more or less yes | 12:36 |
| ogra | i'm just looking through these xul hall of fame ... there is a very intresting minimal browser called mybrowser | 12:37 |
| ogra | s/these/this/ | 12:37 |
| asac | is it a xul app? | 12:37 |
| ogra | yes | 12:37 |
| ogra | http://benjamin.smedbergs.us/xulrunner/ | 12:37 |
| ogra | it eats 30M RSS (vs 80 here for teh same firefox win open) ... no tabs, no new windows | 12:38 |
| ogra | linking the plugin dir from firefox into its work tree makes all plugins work etc ... very nice little thing | 12:39 |
| asac | ogra: ok cool ... file a bug requesting to package it (if you don't want to do that on your own) :) | 12:40 |
| asac | ogra: we wilil do it then | 12:40 |
| ogra | hmm, i never packaged a xul app ... | 12:40 |
| asac | ogra: hmm ... it looks like lots of features are missing... like bookmarks et al | 12:41 |
| ogra | could be an intresting exercise :) | 12:41 |
| asac | ogra: should be fairly simple to package | 12:41 |
| ogra | yeah, its very cut down, but could be a base for enhancements | 12:41 |
| ogra | (it supports extensions, so bokmarks could as well be an extension :) ) | 12:41 |
| ogra | in any case its fast, small and compatible that makes it intresting :) | 12:42 |
| asac | yeah :) | 12:42 |
| asac | you can write your own browser like that in a few minutes ... thats the power of xulrunner | 12:42 |
| ogra | well, you have to know the language :) | 12:43 |
| asac | its like html (xul) + javascript | 12:43 |
| ogra | hmm | 12:44 |
| asac | there should be lots of folks that have a similar skillset that can easily be extended | 12:44 |
| asac | but in the end its like writing dynamic websites with real widgets :) | 12:44 |
| ogra | lol | 12:45 |
| * ogra just thought the brwser was broken, but google.de is supposed to be black today :) | 12:45 | |
| asac | why is that? | 12:46 |
| asac | ah lichtaus | 12:46 |
| ogra | yeah | 12:46 |

| limac | hi can anyone tell me how to be a part of the hardy devel community | 14:09 |
| swien | Can anyone tell me how to package java software with maven build-system? | 14:14 |
| limac | no clue about java or maven | 14:17 |
| Adri2000 | limac: hi, join #ubuntu-motu and read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Contributing | 14:18 |
| swien | The problem is that maven is quite new in the repo and nobody seems to have a clue how to use it... It automatically fetches dependencies from its own repository. | 14:19 |
| limac | thnx | 14:20 |
| persia | swien: The Ubuntu build system doesn't allow network access during build. You'll need to help maven a bit to get it to work. | 14:21 |
| swien | persia: exactly. By helping maven you mean patch maven? | 14:23 |
| persia | swien: Or just make sure that maven finds everything locally from the build-depends. | 14:23 |
| swien | persia: do you know a package that already does this? | 14:24 |
| persia | swien: Nope. | 14:24 |
| swien | persia: Thanks for your help so far. | 14:28 |

| Hobbsee | unfortunately, yes | 15:00 |

| oliver_g_ | hi | 22:51 |
| oliver_g_ | I have a PDF file that crashes Evince, but somehow apport is not triggered | 22:52 |
| oliver_g_ | any idea why that happens? | 22:52 |
| oliver_g_ | if I run evince with that file in terminal, it prints "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" so I assume apport should indeed come up... | 22:52 |
| pochu | Is a crash file in /var/crash/ ? | 22:53 |
| pochu | +there | 22:53 |
| oliver_g_ | pochu: yes! | 22:53 |
| oliver_g_ | pochu: three actually: from evince, file-roller, and hwdb-gui | 22:54 |
| pochu | oliver_g_: open the folder within nautilus and double click it. | 22:55 |
| pochu | Apport should open it then | 22:55 |
| oliver_g_ | pochu: thanks, that worked nicely! | 23:03 |
| pochu | yw | 23:04 |
| oliver_g_ | I have reproduced the crash several times, with different terminal output... Should I submit the new apport crash data as well, and can I attach it to my original bug report? | 23:19 |
| geser | oliver_g_: can you also attach the PDF if possible? so others can use it for testing | 23:29 |
| oliver_g_ | geser: I suppose not | 23:43 |
| oliver_g_ | it's the user manual for a laptop, and it states clearly that transmission over internet is not allowed without consent of the author | 23:44 |
| Fujitsu | oliver_g_: Is said manual not available for download from the manufacturer's website? | 23:45 |
| oliver_g_ | Fujitsu: good idea - I'll have a look :-) | 23:46 |
| oliver_g_ | it's named SPR6L45GR0.pdf btw | 23:46 |
