Apt Pinning

2010-03-07 Thread Arky
Hi, 

I want to prevent the gnome-orca package from lucid installing automatically.  
Tried to setup a negative apt Pin-Priority but I think something is screwed up 
here.
 

 $ cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/ubuntu-gnome-orca-1 
Package: *
Pin release v=10.04
Pin-Priority: -1

Cheers

battery info on the top panel is gone

2010-03-07 Thread Mike Coulombe
Hi, I am using lucid on one of my computers, and noticed the battery info is no 
longer in the top panel. Has anyone else noticed this? If so, do you know what 
happened to it?
Mike.

Firstly, the dialog opening up all the time has now been fixed. Secondly, what 
model is your wireless card? If you load jockey manually, does your wireless 
card still not get listed?

In lucid, this should not be a problem. There have been a lot of tweaks done to 
improve the desktop startup speed, one of which is for notify-osd to be started 
only when its needed, and since accessibility comes up very very early in the 
session, all notifications should be accessible from the get go.

Re: SIP and Orca?

2010-03-07 Thread Storm Dragon
Hi,
I'd like to know this too. Something more accessible than Skype and less
flakey then Ekiga.

SIP and Orca?

2010-03-07 Thread Dave Hunt
I am unable to use Ekiga with Orca.  Once a connection is established, 
there is a bit of sound, then nothing.  When I try to hang up, Orca 
becomes unresponsive, and the computer fan races.  My only option seems 
to be killing the entire x session.  I'm using Karmic with Pulse Audio 
enabled.  What sip clients are people using?


Thanks,


Dave
