geneteHi. I'm Synfig contributor and Ubuntu user. We have released recently the new Synfig version 0.61.08 but it seems we have been late for next ubuntu vesion.08:55
geneteI still having a 6.06 ubuntu vesion working and the last synfig release is fully compatible with it building from source.08:56
geneteIs is possible that someone package a backport for synfig last version? Check out here: http://synfig.org/Main_Page08:57
crevettehello;  is universe freezed ? ie can we push new version of softawre ?08:59
Adri2000genete: a backport is possible only from the current developement version of ubuntu, ie. hardy right now. if the version you want backported is not in hardy, either try to get a freeze exception for it (which becomes harder and harder as we are approaching the final release), or wait for intrepid developement to start09:17
Adri2000crevette: there is Feature Freeze, so you can push bug fixes, but no new upstream release with new features (except if you get a freeze exception)09:18
=== hunger_t is now known as hunger
crevettetoo bad nobody cared about nemiver :/09:21
geneteAdri2000: ok, so take an eye on this project. I beliebe that it covers a big hole in the Open Source map and lately is being relaunched. Please drop by #synfig for synchoronization for next ubunutu release.09:24

Mirvbryce: hi, the new gnome-control-center doesn't have the i18n patch 104 fixed09:28
Mirvbryce: it still only patches the already-applied 101, and you mentioned you would fix it in a proper way despite the fact that 101 is coming from upstream so it cannot be changed or so...09:29
Mirvbryce: the point was that the patch I originally offerred was supposed to be a patch changing the current 101 patch, not to be put in debian/patches directory.. but since you didn't want to change the 101 patch itself, you included my patch as a file to debian/patches which doesn't work09:33
Mirvbryce: easiest would be mv 104_cc-randr12-enable-i18n.patch 100_cc-randr12-enable-i18n.patch <- no need to rework the patch for now. but a new upload should be done rather soon, since my patch was only reverting one string (as an example) to such that is already translated, so others have to be retranslated (soonish) by translators.09:57
Mirvbryce: and finally, there's now also a bug 212132 :)09:58

qenseI've got a question about a bug I'm triaging: bug 18626413:19
ubotuLaunchpad bug 186264 in hal "keyboard randomly goes dead; takes a logout to restore functionality." [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/18626413:19
qenseI'm not sure if it's really in HAL and I was wondering if you know something more about it.13:19
qenseAnd do you think it contains enough information?13:19
AlanI hope this is the right place for this, but...  Is there any particular reason why the update manager has to steal focus repeatedly during an update?14:54
qensenot really in my eyes, it could be considered as a bug14:54
AlanBut not one that anybody has ever bothered to report/fix?  I guess it isn't that important, but it's been around for a while...14:55
AlanIt's frustrating that I can't actually do anything if i'm running a couple of updates because the focus is stolen every few seconds...14:55
qenseyou should report a bug at bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu14:56
qenseit's indeed anoying14:56
AlanAt least it's not as bad as WinXP's "You still need to restart" popup every 5 mins :P14:56
qenseyes14:57

syke_several people (including myself) are reporting an issue where xulrunner-1.9 forces the removal of firefox-3.0, and then it is impossible to get it reinstalled19:16
syke_this just started this morning, in case developers aren't aware of the issue19:16

LaserJockmuhaha007: there isn't a samples.pyw in Ubuntu19:23
LaserJockmuhaha007: but you should see if samples.py is equivalent19:23

muhaha007samples.pyw is a binary for showing all the examples with source code and stuff19:24
muhaha007mok0:http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/walkthrough1.html19:25
LaserJockmuhaha007: oh, that could be why it's not there19:26

muhaha007mok0: cant, must change it to executable first :)19:27

jdongsyke: well at the time it's packaged it was a snapshot19:51
sykewasn't gcc-4.2 quickly shifted from snapshot to a discrete package?19:51

sykeI did notice that it is now a snapshot of the 4_3 branch, rather than trunk, at this point19:54

sykeis it just a matter of the usptream debian providing a discrete 4.3 package?19:56

LaserJocksyke: which front?20:03
sykelaser: both this ndiswrapper issue and gcc-4.320:06
sykeat my work we are switching to gcc-4.3 aggressively since it now has a built-in warning that find stack-based buffer overflows20:07
syke-Warray-bounds, which works by default with -O2 and -Wall20:07
LaserJockwell, you can use gcc-snapshot20:08
sykewe also got about a 5% increase in performance in one of our big C++ apps just by recompiling in GCC 4.3 thanks to the new constant folding20:08
sykeyes, but as I say, it's a pain to use/deploy since the symlinks all have to be updated20:08
