[Desktop-packages] [Bug 296867]

2015-10-01 Thread G4JC
@Xavier: Can't you provide us, at very least, a small tutorial showing
how to compile this with the latest empathy build? Because it doesn't
work.

If not - I donated years ago for this to be implemented, so I'll want my
money back. :P

  Binary package hint: empathy

  Hello, 
  I just tried empathy (the Intrepid version) and it looked very solid and 
stable. There were a few minor things that could be improved (e.g. 
automatically resizing the contact list), but that is not the topic here.
  The reason why I won't switch to empathy from pidgin is the missing OTR 
support (http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/ ). This is a really important feature 
because no one should read your messages.
  There were others with the same idea (links at the bottom).
  Would be so great if it could support that important encryption standard.
  Thanks for helping out!

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 296867]

2015-06-05 Thread G4JC
In regards to my previous comment. I discovered enable-otr is in
/src/connection.c, once you get the right branch...

git clone git://people.freedesktop.org/~smcv/telepathy-gabble
git checkout untested-otr

I also tried setting the default "FALSE" option to "TRUE". Still OTR
doesn't work for me, perhaps empathy also needs to be patched (instead
of just gabble). However Xaivers empathy branch no longer runs properly
on my system due to changes in gtk, so I am unable to test the older
version.

So, that's as far as I made it.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 296867]

2015-06-04 Thread G4JC

I can confirm it compiles after fixing the depreciated function and
forcing the Makefile to use python2.7 followed by making it read-only
(keeps trying to put 3.4 in there).

So after I ran the make install I started up empathy, but was unable to
use "/otr start". It claims command is not found.

I then read this:
> You need to set "enable-otr=true" in your CM parameters, otherwise OTR is 
> disabled 

No idea what a CM parameter is or where to set it, so I ran grep on all
the files. Nothing says "enable-otr".

Can someone clarify where to put that line?

Seeing as the compile process isn't well documented, it's very confusing
for newcomers. If you'll also note, someone else asked if you could
provide some build instructions on your blog post to help compile it.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 223774]

2015-05-16 Thread G4JC
I think the original bug report here (NoDCC causes hang) has been fixed.
I am currently testing the trident driver on an ancient laptop here, and
it has many bugs, but this isn't one of them. The "vesa" mode doesn't
work, and most importantly auto-detection doesn't work. Manually writing
your own Xorg configuration and assigning driver as "trident" however,
works fine.

What you need is:
Driver  "trident"
Option  "AccelMethod" "EXA"


At that point you get the proper response from Xorg:
(WW) TRIDENT(0): Option "NoDCC" is not used

So it simply skips NoDCC in the config file and in turn skips the hang.

I will be opening another bug report regarding detection.

Bug description:
  In Gutsy it was possible get the display on a Toshiba Satellite 1800
  (which I'm putting together for an group I'm part of) working by
  editing the Device section of of /etc/X11/xorg.conf to have Option
  "NoDDC" "true".  This no longer works in Hardy and thus the laptop is
  a paperweight with Hardy.  (vesa driver doesn't work either, for
  either)

  The display adaptor built into the laptop is a Trident CyberBlade/i1

  A fresh install of Hardy does not solve the problem.  Only reverting
  to Gutsy and editing xorg.conf does.

  In fact for Gutsy it is necessary to install an xorg.conf that has
  NoDDC before the initial installation of xserver.org is made or else
  the installer hangs with a blank screen during the configuration of
  that package.

  This makes Ubuntu unsuitable for distribution with this laptop as it'd
  be far too easy for someone to end up with a non-working system, and
  depending on who gets it (it's a donation that's being raffled off), I
  may not be close enough to support the end user in case of trouble.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 311581] Re: MASTER Network Manager integrated ppp support - should allow the configuration of dial up modems

2013-08-17 Thread G4JC
It appears wvdial is still included on the Ubuntu CD, so you can apt-get and 
install it without internet connection (a HUGE plus). So just "sudo 
wvdialconf", and then "sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf", and then "sudo wvdial" to 
connect. Meanwhile I find it nearly unbelievable upstream has ignored this bug 
for 7 years. Seeing how even modern countries have fallen back to dial-up as of 
late:

Title:
  MASTER Network Manager integrated ppp support - should allow the
  configuration of dial up modems

Status in NetworkManager:
  Confirmed
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “network-manager” package in Fedora:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  Network Manager doesn't seem to be able to set up modem ppp / dial up
  connection altough the old network configurator of GNOME could.

  WORKAROUND (for now):

  use pppd; which allows configuring a serial modem with the "sudo
  pppconfig" command, which will ask all the necessary questions.
