As for LDAP Integration, this work is been undertaken by the Ubuntu Server Team. You can have a look at we're trying to achieve for Hardy on the Ubuntu Server Roadmap [1]. There are several items being worked on. Unfortunately progress has been slow on this front - help in packaging, testing and/or documenting is more than welcome.

It must be a bug because it works on every other machine I have tried. I even did a fresh install. It must be something with X and the video driver. Yes it should be reported. Gthumb also has printing goodies that F-Spot doesn't handle. For example select 2 photos and print in Gthumb, the result, great layout tools. Do the same in F-Spot, crap. Fix F-Spot printing first I'd say. -- 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
Re: LDAP intergration
Wasn't there supposed to be a "meta-configuration" option in the Ubuntu Server install for Gusty? I remember that Etienne Goyer had mentioned there would be, but I haven't checked it out. I was under the impression that this would be along the same lines as the "DNS Server", "LAMP Server", etc options that you are given during the install. I am naively terming them "meta-configurations", but what is the real term?

I would hope that all such issues are resolved before choosing F-Spot over Gthumb. Also you might want to include the dvd slideshow plugin for F-Spot if you ship it.

yeah, that was my thought, but nothing obvious jumps out.

i don't really understand dbus -- does this message get to hal somehow?

not anymore, at least not in hardy. in hardy only pm-utils is
supported.
thanks though, will work with this.

LDAP Integration
Hello, I would like know if there is being any work done on LDAP integration in Ubuntu desktop & server at this time. On Launchpad and the Ubuntu Wiki I found some old plans and wiki pages (included one of my own) but I didn't find any links or information about active projects. If anyone knows of an effort to integrate LDAP into Ubuntu, could you please point me in the right direction? I'd love to help out as LDAP integration is a major thing for me to push Ubuntu on the desktop at my job.
