Why Ubuntu doesn’t support certain form of shebang for Python?
PEP 394 and 397 suggest a simplified form `#!python2` — it works on Windows 7 and 8 just fine. But Ubuntu 14.04 claims ‘no such file’, though python2 is in PATH. I googled that issue and found only similar issue with DOS line endings, but I’m sure that mine script contains Unix ones. So I guess that form of shebang isn’t supported, which is unfortunate since it questions portability of programs written in Python. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
Default japanese font for Ubuntu 14.04 is wrong
Hello everybody, i have the following problem in ubuntu 14.04, and I am hesitating to post a bug repport, but it's maybe better to ask you before. Default japanese font for Ubuntu 14.04 is wrong. For exemple, the kanjis 究 is supposed to be written with its 5th stroke being square as it is shown in http://jiten.go-kanken.com/kanji/272.html . But by default in ubuntu, the 5th stroke is straight, a little like the 4th. I know there are different way to display characters, but the default font should follow some standard. It would be like using a fancy font for the default lating characters. The default font should follow the font MS Mincho that is the standard font in Japan, and there is a lot in free font that follow the standard. In ubuntu 12.04 we could install the package ttf-vlgothic to get a standard font, but this package was remove in the 14.04. Here is a short list of kanjis that are wrongly written by default in ubuntu 14.04 and there is certainly much more: 究 乗 降 語 換 違 雑 誌 I asked to some japanese to confirm me, and they agree with me that some kanjis are weird in the best case, or completly wrong.

ASUS T100 with 64-bit Ubuntu
Hi, Has anyone looked into enabling CONFIG_EFI_MIXED for 64-bit kernels? This kernel config option allows CPUs that support 64-bit long mode but ship with a 32-bit UEFI firmware (such as the ASUS T100) to run a 64-bit kernel, with the necessary thunking taken care of whenever firmware calls are required. To get this working out of the box, it'd be necessary to ship a 32-bit EFI boot loader as part of the 64-bit installation media. Apart from that, once the kernel is booted, the existing 64-bit userspace should work fine. There's a vibrant community on Google+ that I've been informed would be happy to test things out, https://plus.google.com/u/1/communities/117853703024346186936 -- Matt Fleming, Intel Open Source Technology Center -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

The general recommendation is that /usr/bin/env is a good shebang to use when your package is under development, but once deployed (e.g. installed in /usr/bin as part of a .deb), it should use an explicit path to a Python interpreter. That means /usr/bin/python for Python 2 and /usr/bin/python3 for Python 3. If you're using the Python helpers to build your distutils/setuptools-based packages, it should Just Work.

Re: PulseAudio
I appreciate you work over the years making pulseaudio not a piece of shit. Poettering is like a leaf blowing in the wind with an attention span measured in dog years. For my main systems I use pure alsa. Everything needed can and is done through it and it's config files (yes they're complex, but that's the workflow I prefer on systems I want to have tight control over). When I need to record alsa is where it is at. It is easy to use alsa config to combine multiple sound cards into one many channel virtual sound card and record (conncurrently multitrack) using that. (Though I prefer to use one of the real non-computer multitrack recording devices) Pulseaudio, well it's fine on fire-and-forget systems I just install to be non-productive desktops. It has pauvcontrol, an easy gui for when I don't want to be bothered. That's its value. Alsa if better for everything else. Anyway, thanks for fixing what broke linux audio forever. I'm sure that was a long hard and thankless job. Someone made a mess, was incompetent, and you said finally he's gone not to fix this shit and make it work like it promised to. Thanks for that. (Note: as I said before, on important machines I don't run pulse audio or other always-on daemons: the kernel is a security nightmare as is, don't need more of the same type of complex code always running on security-neccesary systems.)

Chances are vivid will have PulseAudio 5.0 or even 6.0, but I cannot promise anything at this stage.

Response to Erich Schubert (systemd fanboi / male feminist) and his lies.
Erich Schubert is a male feminist. The sort of person who is in good standing with current debian social politics. He has taken to spread a number of falsehoods in his recent column. http://www.vitavonni.de/blog/201411/2014110901-gr-vote-on-init-coupling.html#comments Dear Mr Schubert; He has not contributed anything to the open source community. This is a complete lie. I've contributed gigabytes of media alone. I've done years and years of programming work. I have done far more than you ever will. His songs and games are not worth looking at, Your subjective view. Coloured by your social views and your disdain for those who oppose you in that. and I'm not aware of any project that has accepted any of his contributions. The only objectively true thing you've said: you're not aware. I'm glad you're unaware, I hope that trend continues. I expect this post to be censored, it is par for the course for people like you.

Re: Response to Erich Schubert (systemd fanboi / male feminist) and his lies.
That guy says the other guy didnt do anything contribs for opensource, then on the next line says the first guys music and games are crap. Well doesnt he admit that the guy contributed? He just doesnt like the games and music and such, doesnt mean they dont exist, doesnt change the license they are under. Id say programming under an opensource license is equal to contributing to opensource, or atleast to free software (maybe there is some nuance where opensource also requires one to have the right mindset and beliefs, not just release code under the right licenses?)

This is off-topic for this list, and the tone is not appropriate. Please keep posts topical and respectful.

Re: Why Ubuntu doesn’t support certain form of shebang for Python?

Which distros is it still not supported in? Are they likely to catch up? Sorry, I don't know off-hand. Do you see a path to a world where compliance with PEP 0394 is the right approach, making the transition to python3 easier? http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/ I suspect PEP 394 will mostly be a reflection of reality rather than a driver of downstream policy. E.g. I think it will be a very long time, if ever, that you'll see PEP 394 recommend, or widespread de facto adoption, of /usr/bin/python pointing to Python 3. Maybe by Python 4 wink. Hopefully though PEP 394 will stop other distros from doing insane things like was done with that one existing adventurous outlier. Cheers, -Barry I should have clarified my point better. Scott's message recommended putting python, rather than python2 in shebangs, since it works in more distros. That seems to be In contrast with PEP 394, which says to use python2 rather than python, unless the code works in both python 2.x and python 3.x. That is in order to facilitate migration, and it would be necessary before anyone could make the next step you talk of (pointing python to python 3). That's why I'm wondering where the PEP 394 approach doesn't currently work, and when we might indeed recommend following the current PEP 394 standard. Personally, I think PEP 394 was a mistake. As I said, there is no single shebang you can use that will get the correct result on all distros. /usr/bin/python works on all but one. Creating /usr/bin/python2 as an attempted fix for their insanity didn't actually solve the problem anytime soon. If /usr/bin/python ever points to a python3 version in Debian/Ubuntu, then it's likely I'm not involved in the maintenance anymore. The sane plan would be just to retire it when python2.7 is no longer supported and just use /usr/bin/python3 (or whatever) after that. There's no benefit and only risk of pain to ever switching /usr/bin/python to point to python3. Even after python2.7 is removed from the archive, people will compile their own, so why ask for trouble.
