  1. [all variants] Re: Need hints on adding a new device to Network Manager

    Sorry for the double-post but I've been doing a bit of research:

    Firstly, it seems that udev-extras has been rolled into udev, since I was able to run
    /lib/udev/modem-modeswitch --vendor 0x12d1...
  2. [all variants] Re: Need hints on adding a new device to Network Manager

    Seems that the udev-extras package no longer exists.

    These modems are still a problem in Ubuntu, a shame since it should be easy for upstream to fix.

    I'm going to do some searching and maybe...

    Re: 10.04 Starling SD card

    I too own a Starling netbook and -- since I paid good money -- expect things like the SD card reader to work.

    From the discussion on the kernel mailing list it seems nothing is going to be done,...

    Re: Is ext4 ready for everyday use?

    I've had data loss with EXT4, following two power outages in short succession.

    Luckily I had backups, so didn't lose much work. If you're going to use EXT4 make sure you have backups.

    In fact,...

    Re: BBC Tech guru chucks a few more at Ubuntu…

    It doesn't mean that at all, silly! :)

    We could take it to mean Ubuntu is ready to supplant Windows (remember bug #1), but that's not the same as making it exactly the same. In fact, because of...

    [ubuntu] Re: Dual Screen Unavailable in Jaunty

    It's possible to use a 9.04 live cd to test whether the latest Xorg works for you, see the section: 'Testing with a live CD/media' on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XorgOnTheEdge

    I'm getting a similar issue with an ATi Radeon X600 dual-monitor setup. After using Preferences -> Display and logging out/in again, both monitors are 'zoomed-in' on the desktop, while the newer...

    Re: Fallout 3 Linux version?

    Wow, they've deleted the thread. Are they that desperate to hide the fact that people use GNU/Linux?

    Weird.
  9. Re: Prioritise developers for 9.04 (brainstorm idea)

    Firstly, that is not entirely true. There's Bazaar (not really a part of the desktop, but it is an important part of tools used to put together the distro), Upstart and Ubiquity.

    Secondly, that's...
  10. Re: Prioritise developers for 9.04 (brainstorm idea)

    Good package name, but it's hardly what the idea is specifying. Looking at the dependencies and the description above, it seems this is just for making packaging easier. Not an easy way for...
  11. Re: Prioritise developers for 9.04 (brainstorm idea)

    You misunderstand the idea. We're not asking Canonical to hire more developers, but to provide a meta-package for people who want to hack on Ubuntu.

    Basically: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-sdk

  12. Prioritise developers for 9.04 (brainstorm idea)

    I did a search, but it seems no-one on the forums is discussing this brainstorm idea on prioritising developers for 9.04:



    This seems like a very worthwhile idea, if not for 9.04 then for the...

    Sexy new look for OpenOffice

    Has anyone seen the new front-end for OpenOffice the Chinese have been working on? It's called Red Office and it looks sweet.
