| * astraljava repaired a box and installs Mythbuntu on it, and notices it's got scrollbars in the slideshow too. | 20:36 | |
| GridCube | can it be fixed alacarte to have no recommends on 11.10? | 21:54 |
|---|---|---|
| GridCube | or 11.04 | 21:54 |
| astraljava | Hmm... I have serious trouble trying to decode such a cryptic message. What do you mean? alacarte is the menu editor. What recommends does it have? | 21:58 |
| astraljava | Oh... I see. | 21:59 |
| astraljava | Well I doubt it, it's not geared towards other DEs but GNOME, AFAIUI. | 21:59 |
| GridCube | but we use it | 22:00 |
| GridCube | and we ship it on 12.04 | 22:00 |
| astraljava | Yes. But only on precise. So why would you want to drop recommends on older releases? | 22:00 |
| GridCube | because there is no other menu edition tool for xfce than it | 22:01 |
| astraljava | Yeah. Well, you can roll a custom .deb for it. :) | 22:02 |
| GridCube | :P don't know what that is | 22:02 |
| astraljava | Nah, just kidding. But you should just install it with the --no-install-recommends option. | 22:03 |
| GridCube | yes, I see, well, just asking | 22:03 |
| astraljava | Yeah the thing is, there's no way to make such a change in past releases. Obviously it's not going to swim into the images either, so it'll have to be installed manually anyway. Hence that option for apt-get. | 22:05 |
| astraljava | What is there in recommends in the past releases? | 22:06 |
| GridCube | http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/alacarte | 22:11 |
| GridCube | it recommends gnome-panel | 22:11 |
| astraljava | But no ' | exo-utils' like in precise? | 22:12 |
| GridCube | i wouldnt know how to know that | 22:13 |
| astraljava | Recommends: gnome-panel | exo-utils | 22:13 |
| astraljava | That's there in the output of `apt-cache show alacarte'. | 22:14 |
| GridCube | http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/alacarte | 22:14 |
| GridCube | ah i see, it says "or exo-utils" | 22:14 |
| GridCube | no it says nothing like that | 22:15 |
| astraljava | Yeah ok. Well then, it'd have to be installed with the --no-install-recommends with apt-get, I don't know whether synaptic supports such a setting (probably does). | 22:17 |
