| josePHPagoda | hello everyone! | 21:13 |
| josePHPagoda | I'm wondering how I would go about proposing a package? | 21:13 |
| tumbleweed | josePHPagoda: http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/packaging-new-software.html#submitting-for-inclusion | 21:15 |
| TheLordOfTime | isn't it always suggested to go the Debian route first so it gets synced into Ubuntu? | 21:15 |
| josePHPagoda | this isn't really new software though, more an update for a currently broken package included in 13.10 | 21:15 |
| TheLordOfTime | (assuming a new package) | 21:15 |
| josePHPagoda | (also broken in 13.04) | 21:15 |
| josePHPagoda | even though upstream has been fixed for over a year | 21:16 |
| josePHPagoda | but I'd rather not compile from scratch | 21:16 |
| TheLordOfTime | mind if i ask what package? | 21:16 |
| TheLordOfTime | (curious) | 21:16 |
| josePHPagoda | it's the wacom drivers package | 21:17 |
| josePHPagoda | they work with the stylus, but are broken when trying to use the wacom mouse (no clicking registers) | 21:17 |
| josePHPagoda | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2139480 | 21:19 |
| josePHPagoda | describes the issue | 21:19 |
| josePHPagoda | the solution proposed is to compile from scratch, which isn't great for this sort of thing | 21:20 |
| TheLordOfTime | um... | 21:20 |
| TheLordOfTime | i'm not certain you *can* submit a replacement package for 13.04 and 13.19 | 21:20 |
| TheLordOfTime | 13.10* | 21:20 |
| * TheLordOfTime isn't a MOTU, but i think there's regulations around how things're updated for 13.04 and 13.10 | 21:20 | |
| Noskcaj10 | josePHPagoda, Is this just an update or a complete new package? | 21:20 |
| TheLordOfTime | i know that if Trusty is sane, they've got the latest thing from Debian | 21:20 |
| josePHPagoda | it's an update | 21:21 |
| Noskcaj10 | If it's minor we could SRU it, but either way it needs to be working in trusty first | 21:21 |
| josePHPagoda | there was a PPA, but it looks like 13.10 doesn't see any benefit | 21:21 |
| Noskcaj10 | what's the package name? | 21:21 |
| TheLordOfTime | josePHPagoda, what's the actual package name(s), and have you tested Trusty to see if it works? | 21:21 |
| TheLordOfTime | whoopsies, Noskcaj10 said that xD | 21:21 |
| * TheLordOfTime slaps self | 21:21 | |
| josePHPagoda | I haven't tested in trusty | 21:21 |
| === Noskcaj10 is now known as Noskcaj | ||
| josePHPagoda | i only have a single production machine | 21:21 |
| josePHPagoda | can't sacrifice the other | 21:21 |
| josePHPagoda | err | 21:22 |
| josePHPagoda | can't sacrifice it to run the other version of Ubuntu | 21:22 |
| josePHPagoda | let me see if I can find the package name | 21:22 |
| TheLordOfTime | Noskcaj, couldn't he in theory test from the live environment to see if it works? | 21:22 |
| TheLordOfTime | (for trusty) | 21:22 |
| Noskcaj | TheLordOfTime, I assume so | 21:22 |
| TheLordOfTime | ... oh that reminds me I'm missing a Trusty environment to test. | 21:22 |
| * TheLordOfTime grabs a copy of latest | 21:23 | |
| josePHPagoda | xf86-input-wacom | 21:23 |
| TheLordOfTime | josePHPagoda, you could in theory boot to a LiveUSB or LiveCD and see if it works. | 21:23 |
| josePHPagoda | I _think_ | 21:23 |
| TheLordOfTime | X.Org X Server -- Wacom Input Driver | 21:23 |
| TheLordOfTime | (from Debian packages.qa - http://packages.qa.debian.org/x/xf86-input-wacom.html) | 21:23 |
| josePHPagoda | TheLordOfTime: yeah | 21:23 |
| josePHPagoda | would that help at all if I did that? | 21:23 |
| TheLordOfTime | looks like there were updates in the past couple months in Debian | 21:24 |
| josePHPagoda | so this could be a case of debian just being a little slow to pull from upstream? | 21:24 |
| TheLordOfTime | trusty looks like it has that | 21:24 |
| TheLordOfTime | josePHPagoda, or, a case of Debian being slow, but yes, it looks to be in Trusty | 21:24 |
| josePHPagoda | i hope it's fixed | 21:25 |
| josePHPagoda | i haven't been able to use the mouse on my tablet for over a year :( | 21:25 |
| TheLordOfTime | josePHPagoda, as i said, test Trusty, boot to a LiveUSB/LiveCD and test it | 21:25 |
| TheLordOfTime | that *may* be able ot be used for testing purposes | 21:25 |
| josePHPagoda | it'd be suitable for limited testing | 21:26 |
| Noskcaj | Does http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=721916 or http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=675802 sound like your issue? | 21:26 |
| josePHPagoda | i coul dsee if the total breakage is usable | 21:26 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 721916 in xserver-xorg-input-wacom "xserver-xorg-input-wacom: the version of wacom driver in debian is obsolete and causes X11 lockups" [Important,Fixed] | 21:26 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 675802 in xserver-xorg-input-wacom "xserver-xorg-input-wacom: "Touch Ring" stops working on Wacom MTE-450." [Normal,Fixed] | 21:26 |
| josePHPagoda | Noskcaj: no | 21:26 |
| josePHPagoda | it's a diff issue | 21:26 |
| josePHPagoda | similar, but diff | 21:26 |
| josePHPagoda | anyways, it looks like trusty will have the fix | 21:27 |
| josePHPagoda | i'll fetch and burn a livecd and test it out when I get a chance | 21:27 |
| josePHPagoda | :) | 21:27 |
| TheLordOfTime | s/will/might/ | 21:27 |
| josePHPagoda | TheLordOfTime: doesn't ubuntu source off of debian testing? | 21:28 |
| TheLordOfTime | there's no guarantee there's a fix in Trusty or Debian | 21:28 |
| Noskcaj | For this particular package, we don't | 21:28 |
| josePHPagoda | oh? | 21:28 |
| josePHPagoda | is there any particular reason why? | 21:28 |
| TheLordOfTime | indeed, just saw that myself | 21:28 |
| Noskcaj | if the issue is fixed in the list at bug 1235615 , we fixed this in trusty | 21:28 |
| ubottu | bug 1235615 in xf86-input-wacom (Ubuntu) "FFe: xf86-input-wacom 0.23.0" [Wishlist,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1235615 | 21:28 |
| Noskcaj | And someone one #ubuntu-x will know | 21:29 |
| Noskcaj | *on | 21:29 |
| josePHPagoda | 7a1aadb24b65738 Resume button events for pucks | 21:31 |
| josePHPagoda | that looks like the issue I was having | 21:31 |
| josePHPagoda | but I'm not 100% sure | 21:32 |
| josePHPagoda | how can i get the link for the original bug report? | 21:32 |
| Noskcaj | The install the relevant .deb from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+package/xserver-xorg-input-wacom and see if it works | 21:32 |
| josePHPagoda | can I just install that in 13.10? | 21:33 |
| TheLordOfTime | you could do that, too... maybe if you install by hand, unless it has a specific kernel requirement | 21:33 |
| josePHPagoda | i just don't want to bork my current environment | 21:34 |
| josePHPagoda | kind of important for work :) | 21:34 |
| TheLordOfTime | you're kinda limited on your testing options then | 21:34 |
| TheLordOfTime | limited testing perhaps in a Live environment, but without a trusty environment to fully test in... | 21:34 |
| josePHPagoda | yeah | 21:35 |
| Noskcaj | There's very little that can go wrong just by installing that .deb. No new dependencies were added | 21:36 |
| josePHPagoda | ok | 21:36 |
| josePHPagoda | i'll try it, and if it doesn't work, how's the best way to roll back to the current version? | 21:36 |
| Noskcaj | Just uninstall it, then install from the software center | 21:37 |
| Unit193 | sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-wacom=1:0.20.0-0ubuntu1 | 21:37 |
| josePHPagoda | brb | 21:38 |
| TheLordOfTime | or Unit193's statement :) | 21:38 |
| TheLordOfTime | that works too | 21:38 |
| TheLordOfTime | bleh, speaking of production environments, SSL died on my server >.< (gotta fix it... back in a bit) | 21:38 |
| Logan_ | Holy transition. http://cl.ly/image/0C3u0c2Z2y0R | 21:50 |
| TheLordOfTime | o.O | 21:52 |
| josePHPagoda | yay! so now the tablet seems to be working perfectly | 22:35 |
| josePHPagoda | so that's excellent | 22:35 |
| josePHPagoda | thanks for your help everyone | 22:35 |
