[08:00] good morning [08:51] hi [08:52] how to solve, package-contains-info-dir-file usr/share/info/dir.gz [08:52] lintian === dholbach_ is now known as dholbach === schrodinger_ is now known as schrodinger === zequence_ is now known as zequence === xnox_ is now known as xnox === freeflying is now known as freeflying_away === freeflying_away is now known as freeflying === shadeslayer_ is now known as shadeslayer === j_f-f_ is now known as j_f-f === _ruben_ is now known as _ruben [21:13] hello everyone! [21:13] I'm wondering how I would go about proposing a package? [21:15] josePHPagoda: http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/packaging-new-software.html#submitting-for-inclusion [21:15] isn't it always suggested to go the Debian route first so it gets synced into Ubuntu? [21:15] this isn't really new software though, more an update for a currently broken package included in 13.10 [21:15] (assuming a new package) [21:15] (also broken in 13.04) [21:16] even though upstream has been fixed for over a year [21:16] but I'd rather not compile from scratch [21:16] mind if i ask what package? [21:16] (curious) [21:17] it's the wacom drivers package [21:17] they work with the stylus, but are broken when trying to use the wacom mouse (no clicking registers) [21:19] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2139480 [21:19] describes the issue [21:20] the solution proposed is to compile from scratch, which isn't great for this sort of thing [21:20] um... [21:20] i'm not certain you *can* submit a replacement package for 13.04 and 13.19 [21:20] 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] josePHPagoda, Is this just an update or a complete new package? [21:20] i know that if Trusty is sane, they've got the latest thing from Debian [21:21] it's an update [21:21] If it's minor we could SRU it, but either way it needs to be working in trusty first [21:21] there was a PPA, but it looks like 13.10 doesn't see any benefit [21:21] what's the package name? [21:21] josePHPagoda, what's the actual package name(s), and have you tested Trusty to see if it works? [21:21] whoopsies, Noskcaj10 said that xD [21:21] * TheLordOfTime slaps self [21:21] I haven't tested in trusty === Noskcaj10 is now known as Noskcaj [21:21] i only have a single production machine [21:21] can't sacrifice the other [21:22] err [21:22] can't sacrifice it to run the other version of Ubuntu [21:22] let me see if I can find the package name [21:22] Noskcaj, couldn't he in theory test from the live environment to see if it works? [21:22] (for trusty) [21:22] TheLordOfTime, I assume so [21:22] ... oh that reminds me I'm missing a Trusty environment to test. [21:23] * TheLordOfTime grabs a copy of latest [21:23] xf86-input-wacom [21:23] josePHPagoda, you could in theory boot to a LiveUSB or LiveCD and see if it works. [21:23] I _think_ [21:23] X.Org X Server -- Wacom Input Driver [21:23] (from Debian packages.qa - http://packages.qa.debian.org/x/xf86-input-wacom.html) [21:23] TheLordOfTime: yeah [21:23] would that help at all if I did that? [21:24] looks like there were updates in the past couple months in Debian [21:24] so this could be a case of debian just being a little slow to pull from upstream? [21:24] trusty looks like it has that [21:24] josePHPagoda, or, a case of Debian being slow, but yes, it looks to be in Trusty [21:25] i hope it's fixed [21:25] i haven't been able to use the mouse on my tablet for over a year :( [21:25] josePHPagoda, as i said, test Trusty, boot to a LiveUSB/LiveCD and test it [21:25] that *may* be able ot be used for testing purposes [21:26] it'd be suitable for limited testing [21:26] 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] i coul dsee if the total breakage is usable [21:26] 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] Debian bug 675802 in xserver-xorg-input-wacom "xserver-xorg-input-wacom: "Touch Ring" stops working on Wacom MTE-450." [Normal,Fixed] [21:26] Noskcaj: no [21:26] it's a diff issue [21:26] similar, but diff [21:27] anyways, it looks like trusty will have the fix [21:27] i'll fetch and burn a livecd and test it out when I get a chance [21:27] :) [21:27] s/will/might/ [21:28] TheLordOfTime: doesn't ubuntu source off of debian testing? [21:28] there's no guarantee there's a fix in Trusty or Debian [21:28] For this particular package, we don't [21:28] oh? [21:28] is there any particular reason why? [21:28] indeed, just saw that myself [21:28] if the issue is fixed in the list at bug 1235615 , we fixed this in trusty [21:28] bug 1235615 in xf86-input-wacom (Ubuntu) "FFe: xf86-input-wacom 0.23.0" [Wishlist,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1235615 [21:29] And someone one #ubuntu-x will know [21:29] *on [21:31] 7a1aadb24b65738 Resume button events for pucks [21:31] that looks like the issue I was having [21:32] but I'm not 100% sure [21:32] how can i get the link for the original bug report? [21:32] The install the relevant .deb from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+package/xserver-xorg-input-wacom and see if it works [21:33] can I just install that in 13.10? [21:33] you could do that, too... maybe if you install by hand, unless it has a specific kernel requirement [21:34] i just don't want to bork my current environment [21:34] kind of important for work :) [21:34] you're kinda limited on your testing options then [21:34] limited testing perhaps in a Live environment, but without a trusty environment to fully test in... [21:35] yeah [21:36] There's very little that can go wrong just by installing that .deb. No new dependencies were added [21:36] ok [21:36] i'll try it, and if it doesn't work, how's the best way to roll back to the current version? [21:37] Just uninstall it, then install from the software center [21:37] sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-wacom=1:0.20.0-0ubuntu1 [21:38] brb [21:38] or Unit193's statement :) [21:38] that works too [21:38] bleh, speaking of production environments, SSL died on my server >.< (gotta fix it... back in a bit) [21:50] Holy transition. http://cl.ly/image/0C3u0c2Z2y0R [21:52] o.O [22:35] yay! so now the tablet seems to be working perfectly [22:35] so that's excellent [22:35] thanks for your help everyone === Logan_ is now known as Guest47136 === Logan__ is now known as Logan_
