| charlie-tca | Release Candidate Testing begins today for Maverick! Great job on the is release. | 14:29 |
|---|---|---|
| charlie-tca | mr_pouit, cody-somerville : Can we turn quadrapassel off in maverick. There is no point having it in the menu when it won't run. | 16:15 |
| charlie-tca | bug 561734 | 16:15 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 561734 in xorg-server (Ubuntu) "quadrapassel doesn't start: Failed to initialise clutter: Unable to select the newly created GLX context" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/561734 | 16:15 |
| mr_pouit | it should work with 3d acceleration afaik (i.e. not in virtualbox) | 16:38 |
| mr_pouit | I'll check that when i'm back home | 16:38 |
| charlie-tca | It won't work at all here, on three hardware systems | 16:38 |
| charlie-tca | I would prefer it not be a choice, than to be a choice for part of the users | 16:41 |
| charlie-tca | nvidia does not have 3d acceleration without installing hardware drivers, too | 16:51 |
| cody-somerville | charlie-tca, fixed | 17:03 |
| cody-somerville | charlie-tca, the Germany mirror links | 17:03 |
| charlie-tca | Thank you | 17:03 |
| ochosi | charlie-tca: quadrapassel works just fine here | 17:08 |
| ochosi | but then again: i have 3daccel on | 17:09 |
| ochosi | maybe it doesn't without | 17:09 |
| charlie-tca | exactly | 17:09 |
| charlie-tca | It works for "some" users | 17:09 |
| davmor2 | charlie-tca: it requires clutter which in turn requires 3d drivers :( | 17:10 |
| charlie-tca | But not all users have 3d drivers | 17:10 |
| charlie-tca | Older nvidia cards have no hardware drivers, newer nvidia MUST have hardware drivers installed to enable 3d | 17:11 |
| charlie-tca | VirtualBox will fail also | 17:11 |
| davmor2 | charlie-tca: I agree but I think we'll be in the minority L( | 17:11 |
| charlie-tca | I do not want a program in the menus that only some users can use. They can install it themselves. | 17:12 |
| ochosi | davmor2: why do you think you would be a minority? | 17:12 |
| ochosi | i guess i agree with you, charlie-tca | 17:12 |
| charlie-tca | Hmm, I suppose release notes, too | 17:13 |
| ochosi | (not that it matters much :) ) | 17:13 |
| davmor2 | ochosi: because it's part of the default games package for ubuntu | 17:13 |
| charlie-tca | yes, it does matters much. I hate being the only voice of disagreement here | 17:13 |
| charlie-tca | davmor2: but the .desktop file can have "do not show = true" | 17:14 |
| ochosi | alrighty, i just meant since i'm not part of the team, that's all | 17:14 |
| charlie-tca | It does have it's own .desktop file | 17:14 |
| ochosi | davmor2: i have no clue what you mean, quadrapassel is a package of its own | 17:15 |
| davmor2 | charlie-tca: but that neither solves the issue or frees up space and general public won't know how to access it | 17:15 |
| charlie-tca | hmm, true enough | 17:15 |
| ochosi | you can just remove the package quadrapassel from the default install (if you get a freeze exception) | 17:16 |
| charlie-tca | So, let's see how many people complain and file duplicate reports for something that should have been fixed... :-( | 17:16 |
| ochosi | depends on how many people play those games | 17:16 |
| charlie-tca | just that one, the rest work | 17:16 |
| ochosi | as i said before, it's fairly straight-forward to remove quadrapassel | 17:18 |
| ochosi | (without removing the others) | 17:18 |
| charlie-tca | That's what I think, too | 17:18 |
| charlie-tca | mr_pouit: everything except quadrapassel works in the live environment | 18:05 |
| charlie-tca | w00t! My internet connection hit 1.64kB/s... just 78 hours left to sync the alt-386 image | 18:50 |
| * charlie-tca thinks testing will take a while at this rate :-) | 18:53 | |
