unused dependencies of shared libraries
greetings. i was reading Mr Drepper's blog (http://udrepper.livejournal.com/) and got curious of how many such sub-optimal shared libraries there would be in /usr/lib of a typical installation of xubuntu 7.10 64-bit desktop on a dell core2 laptop. the result is amazingly many :) $ ./s1.sh out.txt 922 of 1216 libraries found are sub-optimal Avg # of unused dependencies for those: 6.517 if we didnt have these unused dependencies, would the laptop/xfce boot up significantly faster for instance? ps: initially i sent this to ubuntu-devel but i guess that is just for developers.. s1.sh Description: Bourne shell script -- 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: anyone else seeing X breakage with this AM's hardy updates?

Do mirrors for daily snapshots exist?
I'm using rsync with us.cdimage.ubuntu.com (it's the only one I know of other than cdimage.ubuntu.com and every time I use it I get this message: Welcome to the Ubuntu Master Releases mirror rsync server. This server is located in London, United Kingdom. If you are not an Ubuntu official country mirror, please consider using a Ubuntu releases mirror closer to your physical location. This server has limited resources. A list of Ubuntu archive mirrors which support rsync can be found here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+cdmirrors If you host a Ubuntu mirror, public or private, please register your mirror in Launchpad if you have not already done so.

I'd guess under 50 people (likely much less) download any given daily. It would likely require more bandwidth for each of the mirrors to download them, than for the people to all go to cdimage site and download them there. Also, a lot of people use rsync.

Re: VIA/S3G VT8623 [Apollo CLE266] in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

[...] If you have bugs which you believe should be listed there but aren't yet, please get in touch with me or another member of the release team. Cheers, Hi Steve and all, It's one year I've been watching the ups and downs of that display adapter. Live CD and install was perfect in 7.04 but it wouldn't boot in 7.10. It's one month I have reported Bug #197514. VIA/S3G VT8623 [Apollo CLE266] display no longer works 8.04 : live CD would boot in line mode in alpha6 but not boot again in beta. Same with booting/non booting installed system. Now, the installed system is able to boot at beta + latest patches. I felt almost alone while reporting this with great care, so my shout is : * * YES PLEASE, FREEZE, DON'T CHANGE A THING * * A half-booting CD to install a system needing a patch is better than a non-booting CD. Could we please be sure to announce every new CD on this list? Somehow, I waited for the beta CD when it was out. I'll post a bug report update ASAIDTCD for any VIA user to read. (Developers welcome too) Everlasting thanks for the marvelous work you do all. Cheers.

May I suggest and motivate the following three: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/190968 because it will break networking for people who upgrade and, not even knowing why, you can't evaluate the impact of the bug (it could be thousands of people who *will* be angry with ubuntu after upgrade and not without a reason) It's my understanding that iwlwifi 1.2.0 is the version we need to include in linux-ubuntu-modules for reasons of Centrino certification. I see that the version in linux-backports-modules appears to fix the problem for you; do you think this is an adequate solution? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/137234 because it always worked before gutsy, and it is a pity that when I go around the world at conferences, instead of showing my shiny ubuntu desktop and make good publicity to it, I have to say that ubuntu breaks my vgaout hence I want someone else's laptop (no, I don't reboot in windows, that would be too bad publicity for myself :) ). Thanks, I've asked one of the X developers to follow up with you on this. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poppler/+bug/150187 because it's a plain shame, and because I was told, before gutsy, that I started testing too late and so I could not ask to have it fixed for gutsy, and my heart still bleeds for that comment, and because the most likely environment to use ubuntu is academia, and in academia you do print a lot of pdf files. And, also, because my heart still bleeds, so please fix my heart. This bug is already tracked under the ubuntu-8.04 milestone, but it appears that resolving it is contingent on upstream being able to identify the fix in time.

By any chance have you tried the xrandr suggestion at the top of the bug report? I have been using my laptop with the intel driver for presentations running gutsy and hardy, and when I plug in a projector: xrandr --auto turns on the external VGA.
