Hi all,
I have a friend who has a ubuntu laptop . She was complaining
that the OS eats her batteries more than Windows XP.

A little searching around gave me many examples of this. For e.g.
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/laptop-testing-team/2009-February/001239.html
and http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/08/25/157209

Lots of what is said there in the comments as well is also pretty relevant.

Has there been any thought of having a distribution specifically for
laptop users (similar to the initiative taken for netbooks - Ubuntu
Netbook remix) otherwise laptop owners have to go through quite few
hoops to make it less battery intensive.

If you google for ext4 and battery life you can find quite a bit of

disk from being able to go to sleep. The bottom line is optimizing for
performance is more or less inversely proportional to optimizing for low
energy consumption. So yes, it would be useful to have a
laptop-optimized version.

I wouldn't like to see a different version, that makes two problems:

1) More complexity with managing a version.
2) No control when the laptop is plugged into the wall.

What would be more ideal is to sort out the file system driver so it
behaved differently when it's on battery power (or in any kind of energy
conservation mode).

Regards, Martin Owens

Its not just the system driver, there are quite a few issues :-

a. Lots of background services which are started by default.
b. Also the kenel as well as packages should behave in a manner which
make battery life longer. This is not the case at the present .

For e.g.
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?s=84bfb8cd28895385bee083cc30eed476p=1267038#post1267038

I'm sure there would be many more instances if one looked at it.

The use-cases are unique to laptops and laptops in battery-mode. Any
benefits on this are surely going to overlap with UNR as well. (as it
suffers from similar constraints)

 I can see it also effecting these new cloud computing servers which are
 supposed to be able to conserve energy when required. I know they go
 into suspend, but disk sleep is surely the first step in getting good
 power management.

 I know Tso is an awesome guy, his ext4 presentation at UDS Jaunty was a
 highlight for me so if he says it's too hard to do, then we might just
 have to suck it.

 I'm an optimist, if these fine kernel folks have a problem thrust upon
 them, they will likely solve it somehow. More resources required?


I guess so. Although I don't know who could drive this initiative. I
have zero programming knowledge although could help in finding bugs
and stuff.

Also looking from past experience (w.r.t. ubuntu) it takes couple of
releases to have things right. So even if its discussed and
soft-launched today, it would take anything between a year or a bit
more to have its benefits coming in.

I read two articles :-

http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_make_use_of_Graphics_Chips_Power_Management_features

I do know that recent kernels have KMS built-in

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=articleitem=kernel_modesettingnum=1

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=articleitem=ubuntu_ati_kmsnum=1

But what is not known to me is do they use the features that were
outlined about a year back on the wiki ?

It would be nice to know what you guys think of all this ?

 We wish to hold various programs (talks/seminars/demos) in Pune/CoEP to
 propagate the ideology of free software-free knowledge and to spread the
 usage of FOSS technologies. For this I'd like to get in touch with our
 community people who can talk on free software, software patents, what's new

 Not sure if it helps, but Canonical recently seems to have launched desktop
 support for home users.
 http://www.ubuntu.com/news/canonical-ubuntu-desktop-support-services

From what little I have interacted with the Canonical guy in India
(last year) they are also interested in big business only
(unforunately)

Some points :-

a. Vivek, I disagree when you say updates not having issues. I have
seen updates and upgrades making users cry. Some of these bugs are
known issues in the release notes and some of them are known couple of
days when people do run the upgrade (in large numbers and find an
issue and report. )

This I have seen atleast in the last 3-4 years where I have been
working/playing with GNU/Linux specifically Ubuntu.

b. Niyam, I would not just say after-sales is an issue, there's also
an pre-sales issue as well.  Please see my trials of trying to buy a
lappy at shameless plug
http://issuesaroundme.wordpress.com/2009/08/31/unable-to-get-an-laptop/
/shameless plug

c. There is also need of lot of awareness building needed for various
applications. Canonical has made a good start with the app store but
I'm afraid its still too little too late :(

d. A good article/blog post about FOSS marketing which does go into
some of the aspects can be found at
http://itmanagement.earthweb.com/osrc/article.php/3824046/The-Agony-of-FOSS-Branding.htm

 I am based in Pune, Maharashtra, India.

Btw, have you guys thought of doing something on SFD
(www.softwarefreedomday.org) as well ?

Hi Bryce,
 Well, next I'd like to forward this issue upstream, but first it must be
 retested on latest development version of Karmic to make sure the issue
 still happens there with the latest code.  ISO images are available at

Sorry for not replying before. The problem is that my CD/DVD writer
has gone kaput. If you promise to take this issue upstream and
hopefully get them to support it, then will invest in the CD/DVD

PPA for latest ffmpeg2theora

2009-07-21 Thread shirish

Hi all,
 I have a bunch of raw.avi files which need to be encoded to
.ogg theora codec (codenamed 'Thusnelda') which has been out for
couple of months now.

http://theora.org/news/

The latest ffmpeg2theora in Jaunty is 0.23
http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/ffmpeg2theora while Karmic has the
0.24 one http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/ffmpeg2theora

although even the ffmpeg2theora given doesn't have the latest theora encoder

See the ffmpeg2theora release page and the theora encoder release dates.

So I have couple of questions :-

a. Now is there a PPA (Personal Package Archive) which has all the
necessary stuff for me to download the latest theora encoder and
necessary bits and pieces and work it out  instead of building the
damn thing (on Jaunty) .

b. Has anybody tried the new ffmpeg2theora release 0.24 and done some
encoding with the release?

 If yes, how much of a difference in quality you have had with the new version ?

There have been some comparisons made in the multimedia community and
the overall it has been told as nice.

c.  The videos I would be encoding have a static background with a
person chatting or doing some movements. I know there are ways in
which I could encode the videos having a better bit-rate while at the
same time conserving some web-space as well.  Does anybody know of any
switches which will lemme accomplish the same ?

I am ready to spend couple of days on this and for sure will blog the
output as well as put it on the Ubuntu wiki as well.

Any help and advise would be highly appreciated :)

Ubuntu Studio doesn't have a Live DVD

2009-07-12 Thread shirish

Hi all,
   AFAIK Ubuntu Studio doesn't have a Live DVD. I suspect one of
these reasons :-

a. Its because the Live CD (of Ubuntu CD) is 619.8 MiB while the
actual data is over 1.86 GiB. Hence with around 1.1 GiB compressed
data that would shoot to 4.47 GiB  and this kind of memory many people
wouldn't have.

b.  There is some technical issue with squashfs which is stopping
creation of Live DVD.

c. Some other issue I'm not aware of.

Maybe OT but found this interesting article about Unionfs as well

http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7409/2/

This info. I knew to be correct as far as Ubuntu Studio Hardy is
concerned, if its no longer true, my apologies. That's the last time I
checked the Ubuntu Studio release.

Deepening the GNU/Linux community

Hi all,
Apart from the usual things that one needs to speak about
Free Software, I have also made some pointers as to the way I see
things in my community
http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com/2009/07/09/deepening-the-gnulinux-community/

This is just an attempt to let some of the developers, testers, users
and to be users to know what some of the problem areas and atleast
have awareness about them. Some of them have answers, for some answers
need to be found and so on and so forth.

Feel free to add or rip apart whatever you think is right. Also
perhaps some of these questions could be used if found fitting with
technical audiences (as they love challenges :) ) .

Comments, suggestions, brickbats all welcome :)

 The leaptop looks quite good. From personal experience I would recommend

 the Nvidia binary driver for optimal gaming performance. However I think it
 would be best if you dropped by the showroom and popped in a LiveCD (you
 could try both x86 and x86_64 since the processor does support 64bit)  to
 see if everything works (esp Wireless/bluetooth).

what's YMMV stands for ?

I was thinking that noveau may have made some difference

got ext4 support while jaunty uses 0.3.9 http://gparted.org/ and the
latest release 0.4.3 .

Also seems ext4 had some regressions or stuff which was worked upon
and released within last week itself.

[Bug 327206] [NEW] sync/merge e2fsprogs 1.41.4 from upstream

2009-02-09 Thread Shirish Agarwal

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: e2fsprogs

e2fsprogs has released a new update.

From http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/e2fsprogs-release.html#1.41.4

E2fsprogs 1.41.4 (January 27, 2009)

Fixed a bug which could sometimes cause blkid to return an exit value of
zero for a non-existent device (Addresses Debian Bug: #502541)

Blkid will now recognize ext3 filesystems that have the test_fs flag set
as ext3 filesystems.

The blkid library will now recognize btrfs filesystems and swap devices
currently used by user-level software suspend.

Tune2fs now updates the block group checksums when changing the UUID to
avoid causing e2fsck to complain vociferously at the next reboot.

Tune2fs's inode size resizing algorithms have been fixed so it is not
vastly inefficient for moderate-to-large filesystems, due to some
O(n**2) and O(n*m) algorithms that didn't scale well at all.

Fix tune2fs's inode resizing algorithm so it will not corrupt
filesystems laid out for RAID filesystems; in addition, tune2fs will
refuse to change the inode size for filesystems that have the flex_bg
feature enabled. (This is a limitation in the current implementation of
tune2fs -I.)

E2fsprogs 1.41 broke debugfs's logdump command for normal ext3/4
filesystems with 32-bit block numbers, when the headers for 64-bit block
numbers was added. This regression has been fixed.

Debugfs's ncheck command has been fixed to avoid printing garbage
characters at the end of file names.

Fix resize2fs for ext4 filesystems. Some blocks that that need moving
when shrinking filesystems with uninit_bg feature would not be moved. In
addition, blocks and inode table blocks were not being correctly freed
when shrinking filesystems with the flex_bg feable, which caused
resize2fs -M to fail. Finally, when blocks are moved, make sure the
uninitialized flag in extents is preserved.

Fix bug which caused dumpe2fs to abort with an error if run on a
filesystem that contained an external journal.

Some distributions used mke3fs as an alias for mkfs.ext3; check for
this in argv[0] to provide better legacy support for these
distributions. This is a practice that should NOT be continued, however.

Mke2fs now has a new option -U, which allows the user to specify the
UUID that should be used for the new filesystem.

Mke2fs will treat devices that are exactly 16TB as if they were 16TB
minus one block. This allows users who have read that ext3 supports up
to 16TB filesystems and who create a 16TB LVM to not get confused, since
the true limit is really 16TB minus one block.

E2fsck will no longer abort an fsck run if block group has an errant
INODE_UNINIT flag.

E2fsck now distinguishes between fragmented directories and fragmented
files in verbose mode statistics and in the fragcheck report.

Fix a bug in e2fsck which casued it double count non-contiguous extent-
based inodes.

E2fsck will leave some slack space when repacking directories to allow
room for a few directory entries to be added without causing leaf nodes
to be split right away.

Fix a bug which caused e2fsck to crash when it comes across a corrupted
interior node in an extent tree with the error message: Error1: Corrupt
extent header on inode XX

E2fsck problem descriptions involving the journal are no longer referred
to as ext3 problems, since ext4 filesystems also have journals.

Fix a long-standing bug in e2fsck which would cause it to crash when
replying journals for filesystems with block sizes greater than 8k.

Update Catalan translation from the Translation Project.

Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #503057, #502323, #511207)

alej0, 
It would be nice if you could/would forward the patch upstream as well (for 
consideration) . 

I also ran into this bug and had to use your work-around. ntop should be
intelligent to know which interfaces is actually up and doing stuff.

There is possibility that it does become later but it depends on how

As it is people are experience ext4 data loss in another bug.

Hi all,
 AFAIK the defrag feature of ext4 is supposed to be done in
2.6.29.x series so don't think we are going to get that feature during
the jaunty cycle. Unless the developers prefer to have 2.6.29 in there
(which most probably is unlikely as not enough time for testing would
be there. )

Just my 2 paise.

Hi Salvatore,
 The above workaround works but makes gnome-panel unstable.

I had to do a pkill gnome-panel and then got this error.

The panel encountered a problem while loading
OAFIID:GNOME_GipletApplet.

Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration?

 Ok, could you please set it to at least 10 minutes (at least now for

 whatismyip.org will block requests, if they are to frequent in 60s
 interval)? Also after installing new version of giplet, please try to do:
  - Remove ~/.giplet if it still around (not needed but clean up)
  - Remove the applet from panel
  - Re-add it to panel

Aha, ~/.giplet was still lying around.

 Sorry, that was clearly my fault! Should be there now.

 If we are not successfull, with that version I will forward this issue

Thank you, updating the index as we speak.

It seems to have not been published so far :(

 Found a way to have it working for me. In the interfaces, just put

Of course, this is not something which would be apparent to the user.

[Bug 320905] [NEW] getweb has no manpage or --help documentation

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: foo2zjs

Hi all, 
 I tried to see if getweb has a manpage . It doesn't. 

$ man getweb
No manual entry for getweb
See 'man 7 undocumented' for help when manual pages are not available.

Tried all the options given there, still nothing.

$ whatis getweb
getweb: nothing appropriate.

$ apropos getweb

$ info getweb

Then tried

$ getweb --help
getweb: Don't know how to get extra stuff for printer --help

Still doesn't tell me what it does and how to use it and if there are
any options for the same.

Re: [Bug 307170] Re: giplet hangs from time to time

Hi Salvatore Bonaccorso,
First of all thank you for trying to get this one right and
taking time to respond on the issue.

I added the PPA and installed it but don't get what I need it.

$ dpkg -l giplet

ii  giplet   0.1.8-2.intrepid GNOME IP display applet


Now what I'm trying to do is not get the IP from the local interface
but from the websites www.getmyip.org whatismyip.org but not getting it :(

I went to Preferences and in interfaces deleted eth0 and just let
www.getmyip.org whatismyip.org therein.


I am using dhcp. Perhaps a look at my ifconfig will tell you what I mean.

shir...@shirish-desktop:~$ ifconfig

  RX bytes:1173932 (1.1 MB)  TX bytes:1173932 (1.1 MB)

In this case having either eth0 or eth1 is of no use :(

So need the info. from the sites. If you want me to do something more
lemme know.

You could also try putting up 0.2.0 if you want and I can take a spin at
it.

Also in this brief time I've been trying Giplet (less than an hour)
trying to do anything in preferences take a long long time for
Preferences to close.

Hi Salvatore Bonaccorso,
  You can call me shirish.

 Exactly also why I retrive the IP from external sites. First to avoid
 some external pitfall, could you check, what your result is, when
 you open http://whatismyip.org in a browser? Does it shows correctly
 your IP or some error message? If it shows an error message, please
 check if your update-interval of giplet is set below 10 minutes
 (whatismyip.org does not like it to have a to shorten refresh rate
 from the same ip ...)

It shows correctly my IP when I'm using whatismyip through the browser.

Giplet update-interval is set below 10 minutes.

 I just uploaded 0.2.0 to my PPA for intrepid so you can also test this
 version.

I am not getting the 0.2.0. I just did an update but don't see any
upgrade.

$ apt-cache policy giplet
giplet:
  Installed: 0.1.8-2.intrepid~ppa.1
  Candidate: 0.1.8-2.intrepid~ppa.1
  Version table:
 *** 0.1.8-2.intrepid~ppa.1 0
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
 0.1.2-0ubuntu2 0

This is after aptitude update has been run :(

 Hope we could resolve your issue soon,
 Kind regards
 Salvatore

Re: [Bug 307170] Re: giplet hangs from time to time

2009-01-22 Thread Shirish Agarwal

Hi all,
 First of all, I am using 0.1.1 (as per changelog.gz) or
0.1.2-0ubuntu2 which was in gutsy.

Salvatore (if you or whoever is the maintainer) what I would request
or/and suggest is that put the version as a PPA if possible and get it
built for Intrepid.

Secondly, it gets deleted from the panel if the resource (in this case
getmyip.org is not up) . The only way to get it back working is to
remove .giplet/ and then add the panel again to gnome-panel.

Also moving from getmyip.org to whatismyip.org also makes it hanged.

There is actually also a need for a good error message in case the URL
is down (but that's another bug)

[Bug 311664] Re: update ttf-freefont to new upstream version 20090104

** Summary changed:

- update ttf-freefont to new upstream version 20081226 
+ update ttf-freefont to new upstream version 20090104

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: ttf-freefont
  
  GNU ttf-freefont released a new package.
  
- From https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=5588
+ From https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=5601
+ 
+ There are three main changes.
+ 
+ 1) The Glagolitic range has been removed, due to an unfortunate mistake (mea 
culpa!) regarding licensing of the font on which the range is based.
+ Efforts to contact the original author were made but no reply was actually 
received. We are trying again, but until proper permission is given, these 
glyphs will remain excluded.
+ 
+ 2) The old bug regarding excessive line spacing in Mono was
+ inadvertently re-introduced in the last release. It has been fixed
+ again, and the test scripts now contain tests for the problem.
+ 
+ 3) Daniel Johnson has provided a bold version of his Cherokee range.
+ Oblique faces have also been filled in.
+ 
+ Also, the license has been upgraded to GPL v3
+ 
+ Thanks!
  
  Big technical improvement
  =
  
  * FreeFont is now kerned!
  
  Ranges added
  
  
  * Cherokee [donated by Daniel Johnson]
  
  [These by George Douros]
  
  * Gothic
  * Phoenician
  * Byzantine Musical Symbols
  * Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols (partly--see below)
  * Mah Jong Tiles
  * Dominoes (partly)
  
  * Glagolitic [by Darko Žubrinić]
  
  * Coptic [donated by Steve White]
  
  Ranges adjusted
  ===
  
  * Malayalam (Replaced with updated Rachana_04 font)
  * Cyrillic (Extended-B, Cyrillic Supplement)
  * Vietnamese (Added mark lookups)
  * Thai (Filled out bold, italic styles, improved mark lookups, kerned)
  * Greek (Re-designed Upsilon, much fiddling with accents)
  * Hebrew (Added pointed letters)
  * Armenian (Added ligatures)
  * Hanunóo (Added mark lookups)
  
  Ranges filled out
  =
  Latin Extended Additional
  Miscellaneous Symbols
  Combining Diacritical Marks
  Currency Symbols
  Spacing Modifier Letters
  Superscripts and Subscripts
  International Phonetic Alphabet
  Phonetic Extensions
  General Punctuation
  Letterlike Symbols
  Enclosed Alphanumerics
  added APL characters (but why?)
  
  Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols
  =
  The suitability of this whole range is of arguable,
  On the other hand it is in the standard, and other characters in Unicode 
(e.g. in Letterlike Symbols) refer to it, and I'm personally pushing for 
completion of math ranges. And George Douros has collected the glyphs, so in 
they go.
  
  I replaced most of George's glyphs with copies of those in
  other ranges of FreeFont, and some with Young Ryu's TXFonts.
  His calligraphic, script and blackboard bold,
  and his character naming scheme, remain.
  
  More languages supported
  
  I find Daniel's Cherokee to be the best I've seen, and I've
  downloaded most of the freely-available ones.
  
  The extensions to Cyrillic should provide support for many
  living languages, including:
  
  Russian, Ukrainian, Macedonian, Serbian, Belarusian, Rusyn, Bulgarian,
  Altay, Abkhasian, Azerbaijani, Bashkir, Chuvash, Kazakh, Tatar, Uzbek,
  Yakut, Tajik, Kildin Sami, Mari, Khanty, Nenets, Mordvin, Komi, Enets,
  Moldavian, Chukchi, Itelmen, Aleut, Yupik
  
  There is a movement on to revive Coptic, so we'll call it live.
  
  I think the Thai range wasn't really functional before the mark lookups
  were added. It has now been declared quite good by a native reader.
  
  Kerning
  ===
  Finally realized why kerning didn't work in Linux, and wasn't
  recognized in Windows. Fixed.
  
  But I never liked the kerning tables that came with Nimbus.
  I think they were automatically generated, but often didn't
  make sense technically (a kern of 1EM out of 1000 is invisible)
  or visually (many letters under-kerned, many badly over-kerned).
  
  So I made my own kerning tables for Latin and basic Cyrillic.
  
  It is likely that I made mistakes, or that I've generally over-done it.
  (As always, comments are welcome!)
  
  The kerning in Latin is elaborate--maybe too elaborate.
  It was done with consideration at three different levels:
  
  * repairs: letters so widely spaced that words appear broken
  * evenness: even-looking white space between letters
  * flow: letter spacing in printed text somehow flows in bulk.
  This is rather more subtle than what some automatic area-averaging might
  give (and harder to explain). Basically, I printed out a bunch of text
  in various languages, and eyeballed it--a lot.
  
  Latin tables were intended to provide kerning for all European languages,
  and Turkish. Besides English, I printed out pages of text in
  French, Spanish, and German
  and specifically kerned for pairs in these

[Bug 319379] [NEW] sync/merge smplayer to new upstream release 0.6.6

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: smplayer

Hi all, 
Upstream released 0.6.6 . Please sync/merge the same. 

This is the changelog from http://smplayer.berlios.de/

Version 0.6.6.

Most important changes since 0.6.5:

* Added an option to generate a preview (thumbnails) of the video.
* Added a new gui (mpcgui, a media player classic clone) developed by 
Matthias Petri.
* Added some auto zoom options, to display the video without black borders.
* Implemented a new (and optional) method to save the file settings. This 
method uses an ini file per each played file. It's faster than the old one.
* Added a new option in Preferences-Video: add black borders on 
fullscreen. If this option is enabled, black borders will be added to the image 
in fullscreen mode. This allows subtitles to be displayed on the black borders.
* Increased the resolution of the seekbar. Allows a more accurate seeking.
* Added 3 modes for the stay on top option: always, never and while playing.
* Added a history to the open URL dialog.
* Added new action to cycle through all aspect ratios. Assigned by default 
to key A.
* It's possible to run some specified actions every time a file is loaded.
* Possibility to set up a proxy for internet connections (used for subtitle 
downloading).

Version 0.6.5.

Most important changes since 0.6.4:

* The subtitles when using the SSA/ASS library can now be further 
customized. It's possible to select the font, size, colors, bold, italic, 
outline, shadow...
* (Linux) Now smplayer tries to follow the XDG Base Directory Specification 
for the config files. That means the now the configuration files will be saved 
under the directory $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/smplayer (or $HOME/.config/smplayer if 
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not defined). If you want to keep your preferences, copy or 
move the files from $HOME/.smplayer to the new location.
* Added some options in Preferences-Interface to configure the floating 
control.
* The commandline option -ini-path has been removed and replaced with 
-config-path, which specifies the directory where smplayer will store its data 
(not only smplayer.ini).
* Added the possibility to select the adaptor for xv. Requires at least 
MPlayer SVN r26762.

Version 0.6.4.

Most important changes since 0.6.3:

* Now the dialog to find subtitles can also download the subtitle file and 
load it in smplayer automatically.
* (Linux) The black screen problem when using Compiz should really be fixed 
now.
* Added support for encoding autodetection for subtitle files. Requires a 
mplayer compiled with enca support.
* (Linux) Now it's possible to choose the audio device to be used with alsa 
(needs the application aplay).
* (Windows) Now it's possible to choose the audio device to be used with 
dsound.
* (Windows) The menu Video-Screen displays now the actual available 
screens with their names.
* Added the possibility to add consecutive files (video_01.avi, 
video_02.avi..) automatically to the playlist.
* Bugfix: logout is not cancelled by smplayer.
* Now the options in preferences display a tooltip with a help message.
* Now it's possible to change the video track.
* Added the Galician translation.

Version 0.6.3.

Most important changes since 0.6.2:

* Two fixes for Windows Vista. Now IPv4 is used by default (connection to 
networks are faster). And now it really uses gl:yuv=2:force-pbo:ati-hack as 
the default video output driver. Note: this mode could give problems with some 
graphic cards (specially ATI), if you experience any, try the other gl 
variants, or just directx.
* (Linux) Added a fix for a black screen problem when using Compiz.
* Added an option to select the number of threads that mplayer will use for 
decoding (only works for MPEG-1/2 and some H.264 videos).
* Added the possibility to disable the audio equalizer. Seems to be 
necessary to use the S/PDIF output.
* Added some options to increase/decrease the speed by 1% and 4%. This 
allows to play 24 fps movies at 25 fps speed and vice versa.
* Fix: sometimes the playlist is not shown. Added a workaround for the 
problem.
* Added some checks to avoid crashes when selecting subtitle tracks.
* (Windows) Added a new submenu Video-Screen to select the screen which 
will display the video when using directx.
* The settings in smplayer.ini have been reorganized in several sections. 
(This also means most of your preferences will be lost and you will have to 
reconfigure smplayer again).
* Added an option to mirror the video. And now it's also possible to flip 
and rotate the subtitles along with the image.
* Added a new shortcut set (sda.keys) which can be loaded in the shortcut 
editor in preferences.
* Added two new translations: Arabic and Kurdish.

Version 0.6.2.

Most important changes since 0.6.1:

* Added an audio equalizer (please read Audio_equalizer.txt).
*

[Bug 137872] Re: please add support for ext4

actually should be easier, for there is lot of stuff ubuntu devs pull
from gnome .

Although traditionally, I am guessing the devs look at debian, look at
the bug-reports and then make a call when to sync with them.

[Bug 318081] Re: gnome-dbgsym not available

Martin, 
 This is a bug because there is no gnome-dbgsym file or a gstreamer-alsa-dbg 
file. 

I need both to have either a -dbg or a -dbgsym file

Hence putting the bug back to NEW

$ aptitude search gstreamer0.10-alsa
i   gstreamer0.10-alsa  - GStreamer plugin for ALSA 
p   gstreamer0.10-alsa-dbgsym   - debug symbols for package 
gstreamer0.10-alsa


and there is only gnome-dbg no gnome-dbgsym. 


** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu)
   Status: Invalid = New
