| Vadi | Which channel is appropriate for "application development on Ubuntu" ? | 02:50 |
| james_w | Vadi: I'm not sure I'm afraid. | 02:53 |
| james_w | this isn't really right, it's about developing Ubuntu itself. | 02:53 |
| ScottK | To the extent there is an answer for that, I'm afraid it's #ubuntu, which isn't a very good answer. | 02:56 |
| ion_ | Application development on Ubuntu is just like application development on any other similar platform. If you’re using OpenGL, find an OpenGL channel. If you’re using Ruby, find a Ruby channel etc. | 02:57 |
| jdong | I like ion_'s answer the best | 02:59 |
| Vad1 | Find a channel for C is hard | 03:02 |

| calc | wasabi: msdn.microsoft.com ? | 03:06 |
| wasabi | Basically. | 03:06 |
| wasabi | Good, bad? I dunno. Different. | 03:06 |
| calc | wasabi: well we could point them at /usr/share/doc | 03:06 |
| wasabi | Hehe. | 03:06 |
| calc | wasabi: assuming they have the dev docs installed | 03:06 |
| wasabi | I wonder what the real statistical benefit of that is. That is, the lack of choice. | 03:07 |
| calc | lack of choice causes uniformity which makes it more likely to find someone that knows what you need (i guess) | 03:07 |
| Fujitsu | But the Win32 API sucks. | 03:08 |
| wasabi | People use .Net now. | 03:08 |
| wasabi | Also means one place can serve the population, with a set of answers and common development paradigm. | 03:08 |
| Vad1 | calc: That's assuming that answer does exist in that small population. | 03:08 |
| calc | Vad1: yea | 03:09 |
| pwnguin | wasabi: just point em to #debian ;) | 03:16 |
| Vad1 | james_w: Thanks, ##c helped me out. | 03:36 |
| Vad1 | wasabi: it will be different, and I think good. Having a unified (keyword) resource that's for everything programming, with all info in one place, will be really nice and make things easier. I don't see msdn failing - it's still going, so it must be working out. Meanwhile I'm reading some comments on brainstorm from people who do know how to code, but getting into it is difficult because of a lack of proper resourc | 03:45 |
| Vad1 | I was typing that so long that I started going in circles in the end. Oops. | 03:46 |

| famicom | anyone here which part of the ubuntu isntaller defines what gets installed | 08:36 |
| stgraber | famicom: that's not really a "part of the ubuntu installer", it's defined in the preseed/ubuntu.seed file | 08:51 |
| stgraber | on a normal Ubuntu install, the "ubuntu-desktop" task is selected, so every packages assigned to that task will be installed | 08:51 |
| famicom | why isnt there a simple cli switch or the option to feed ubiquity an external seed file | 08:58 |
| famicom | i mean, gee, why should i have to download another whole godd*mn disk to have a functionality that is allready available on the same disk | 09:01 |
| famicom | that is assbackwards | 09:01 |
| stgraber | there is a simple switch which you can give it an URL to a preseed file which will give it a different package list (that at least work with debian-installer and should now also work with ubiquity preseeding) | 09:02 |

| Wartorn | Just had an issue with libxml2-dev package. I have a project that uses this, and i included libxml/xmlmemory.h etc, but this wouldnt compile, if i changed the include to libxml2/libxml/xmlmemory.h it got one step further, but then xmlmemory.h itself couldnt find some files (cause it too includes only the libxml/<file> path), so i had to move /usr/include/libxml2/libxml to /usr/include/libxml, which worked fine. Is it supposed to be lik | 10:43 |
| afancy | Hi, when i install a software on Ubuntu, I met the following error: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 10:44 |
| afancy | what is the matter? | 10:44 |
| stgraber | Wartorn: please check topic, this channel is about Ubuntu development not development on Ubuntu | 10:44 |
| Seveas | Wartorn, afancy: this is not a support channel | 10:44 |
| Wartorn | well, im just asking the devs if its something wrong with the package | 10:44 |
| afancy | why? | 10:44 |
| Seveas | Wartorn, no there is not | 10:45 |
| afancy | so where i should ask this question? | 10:45 |
| Seveas | afancy, #ubuntu | 10:45 |
| Wartorn | Well, on my older hardy installation (not updated) this project worked out of the box. | 10:45 |
| Wartorn | when libxml itself cant find its own files, theres gotta be something wrong, and its installed through aptitude, so it cant be my fault | 10:46 |
| Seveas | Wartorn, you manually moved files around instead of fixing your -L call (or better: use pkg-config). That breaks things. | 10:47 |
| Seveas | and given that this is not a support channel, please don't expect support :) | 10:47 |
| Wartorn | im not looking for support, i found a way to compile it, breakage or not, im just saying it doesent work out of the box anymore | 10:48 |
| Wartorn | so if its a package error, i just thought this would be the place to go | 10:48 |
| Seveas | it is not a package error, and if it were, irc channels are not the place to report bugs | 10:49 |
| Wartorn | Well, fine. Sorry for the hassly. | 10:50 |
| Wartorn | hassle | 10:50 |
| Hobbsee | Seveas: have you always been so helpful? | 10:52 |
| Hobbsee | Wartorn: have you checked for a bug on it already? | 10:52 |
| Wartorn | Well, no. Sorry. Probably should've done that | 10:53 |
| Seveas | Hobbsee, I have :) I can't help it he doesn't use pkg-config properly to avoid this | 10:53 |
| Wartorn | Thing is, why should i have to do that at all? | 10:53 |
| Seveas | because that's what pkg-config is for. | 10:53 |
| Hobbsee | Wartorn: as it is, 244 packages build with that in hardy, it looks like, so we would have expected mass breakage if it can't find files | 10:54 |
| Hobbsee | and there is no bug for it | 10:55 |
| * Hobbsee suspects an issue with the package you're compiling | 10:55 | |
| Seveas | Hobbsee, it's not a package, it's his own code :) | 10:55 |
| Wartorn | well, its my own program. But on my other computer it worked fine, out of the box (hardy too, not been updated in a while) | 10:55 |
| Wartorn | And i have no problems with any of the other dependencies the program has | 10:59 |
| Seveas | Wartorn, that still doesn't make it a bug in the package. You should use the proper way of specifying -I and -l flags | 11:00 |
| Wartorn | Well, okay. thanks | 11:00 |
| Hobbsee | damn. finally hit the x bug again. | 11:09 |
| Hobbsee | how does one find out what a particular keypress event actually is, if one has the serial/ | 11:22 |
| Fujitsu | Hobbsee: xev should normally give a name for it if it knows. | 11:24 |

| xsakalik | Doesn't someone have experience with plugin architectures? -> Is it reasonable to put plugins into separate process (instead of threading) to ensure stability? | 23:10 |
| wasabi | Depends what you want those plugins to do. | 23:10 |
| wasabi | Look at dbus. | 23:11 |
| xsakalik | wasabi I've looked, but i'd rather use sockets as IPC. I was just thinking if that approach isn't totally ridiculous. Don't you know any project that utilizes processes? | 23:12 |
| wasabi | No. I mean look at dbus itself. | 23:13 |
| wasabi | dbus services themselves are your hypothetical 'plugin system' | 23:13 |
| xsakalik | wasabi, can you elaborate it? (little more) | 23:14 |
| wasabi | And I suspect you should just use a better language if you're having crashes in one plugin crash another. | 23:14 |
| wasabi | dbus loads processes. | 23:14 |
