[10:36] rchf: here is fine [10:36] thx [10:37] however mentioning bugs isn't guaranteed to get them fixed [10:37] :-)))) [10:38] Hardy Heron Beta does not install an ethernet driver to run a Dell e1705 laptop's ethernet or 802.11b devices. Ubuntu 7 (last version) does install the needed ethernet driver. [10:39] also there is no option for a 1440x900 screen in any Ubuntu distribution. [10:39] have you reported these bugs to launchpad? [10:40] I just found launchpad but it did not look promising with two subscribers (maybe I found the wrong page?). [10:40] can you give the bug number please? [10:42] I did not report the bug at launchpad bec it did not look like the right place - I'll go see what URL seems to be a reporting interface (suggestions welcome). [10:42] well, what driver/chipset is the ethernet card? [10:43] broadcom [10:43] I'll look for more info [10:43] and if you start the "Hardware Drivers" program is it listed? [10:44] (System->Administration) [10:44] looking thanks.... [10:49] since I replaced Ubuntu 8 with Ubuntu 7 on the machine in question I don't know that I can answer your question exactly. Error may have been mine. Seems there is a "System->Administration->Restricted Hardware Drivers" page now (I am used to Ubuntu 6.10 LTS), which shows two unused restricted drivers. The drivers for the "Broadcom 43xx chipset family" has an unchecked option. The "ATI accelerated graphics driver" is also unchecked [10:49] . This is the status on Ubuntu 7. I will reinstall Ubuntu 8 and see if perhaps this is what I need to do to get the ethernet card working on that OS and then return. [10:49] that will take a "while" though. [10:50] maybe a few days.

[15:17] Launchpad bug 195052 in inkscape "Latex formula does not work on Ubuntu Hardy" [Undecided,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/195052 [15:29] JohnPhys: not likely in the current state, somebody should open an ubuntu task and subscribe the sponsor team to it [15:29] JohnPhys, no idea, it'll need someone to do some work on it [15:30] JohnPhys: it appears there is no task against the Ubuntu package of inkscape. It appears that the patch should be committed in the .46 branch, which is what is in Hardy [15:32] Thanks for the info, though I have to admit I find it a bit confusing, as the bug is labeled "fix released" in the "inkscape" branch of 0.46, so I guess the patch just needs to be pulled over to the hardy repos? [15:34] yeah, that is confusing, according to this: https://code.launchpad.net/inkscape/main .46 was released March 11, and the version in hardy is from April 7 (from: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inkscape/0.46-0ubuntu2 [15:35] but the comment from (I assume) a dev saying it was in .46 "I committed this to trunk and 046_release_branch as well." was on April 8 [15:38] Yeah, I figured it might take some time to "trickle in", but then I read about the feature freeze, so I thought I should ask. I'm not a dev, and know painfully little about making debdiffs and such, but this is a "showstopper" bug for me (LaTeX + inkscape = good thesis diagrams :) ), so I was hoping if I asked nicely a kind dev would get this uploaded. How can I find out who maintains inkscape in ubuntu? [15:39] pedro_: by default are we supposed to close crash reports that fail retraces? [15:39] greg-g: on firefox, yes [15:39] pedro_: ok, thanks [15:39] you're welcome [15:44] JohnPhys, it'll say who maintains it on launchpad (somewhere) [15:46] secretlondon: It says "Maintainer: Ubuntu Core Developers". I'm hoping to avoid sending a message to hundreds of people if sending a message to 1 will do the job :) [15:46] one of the inkscape devs is also an Ubuntu core-dev [15:46] pedro_: should I add you response to the wiki page Bugs/Responses for "Firefox crash report that fails backtrace"? [15:46] maybe Bryce Harrington [15:46] s/you/your/ [15:46] greg-g: sure, that'd be nice :-) [15:46] got it :) [15:46] thanks you [15:47] In fact I think a few ubuntu devs are involved in inkscape upstream [15:47] it was last uploaded by Kees Cook [15:47] secretlondon: Ah, ok. He's commented on an inkscape bug I filed (#205667) and helped me out with obtaining a backtrace, maybe he'll be able to help. [15:49] that bug is high priority actually [15:49] secretlondon: which one? Bug #205667 ? [15:49] JohnPhys, he says he's an inkscape dev, and his irc name is bryyce [15:49] Launchpad bug 205667 in inkscape "Inkscape crashes when using 3d box after attempting to render latex, gears, tree, barcode, maybe others."

I actually care more about #195052 though, as I don't plan to use that 3d box much :) I just discovered 205667 accidentally when testing the Latex stuff. [15:52] Thanks everyone for your time and help, it's very much appreciated! [15:52] JohnPhys, sure. It could be an easy patch, but as he knows the program intimately.. [15:53] yeah, to my untrained eye it looks like it's just replacing a python script that is specific to that task only, so I think it's a pretty low risk patch.
