Re: [Festival-libestools]Can someone show me the magic to compile the libestools?

 Hi, dear developers,
   I'm a voice application developer. Recently I use the Festival in our
 project. First, I downloaded the festival and speech tools source codes and
 compile them in my Ubuntu8.04. Then I wrote a test C++ application which can
 run well to invoke the libFestival as part of the application. Then I use
 JNI to wrap them to a Java interface. Unfortunately the same native codes
 implementation crashed JVM every time. Thanks to the open source codes, I
 can track it's because of the libestools crashed the JVM--- but the native
 application runs well. When I finally plan to give up and try to use the
 festival client, I installed the festival and the libest from Ubuntu
 repository. Actually, they have the same newest version. When I recompile
 the native codes after removing the -L option, the magic happened-- it
 works, no codes change at all!  I really got confused I even use the same
 configuration in speech_tools-- enable SHARED, why my homebrewed library
 will always crash the JVM? BTW: the JVM indicates the libestools use invalid
 memory address.
   I really want get the answer from the maintainer of the Ubuntu
 Festival-libestools. Can you give me some clues about how you set the
 compilation options? Since Ubuntu is only my work station, our real
 production platform is RHEL and CentOS(sadly, our Ops think they are
 enterprise level Linux, although I don't agree it that much...), I want to
 use the same compilation options for our production boxes so my application
 can run in these boxes well.
   Thanks a lot!

I think we should put a URL in the release notes, rather than an
explicit list, so that it's current whenever people read it.

while back on the -desktop list, and there was a brief discussion
about the fact that it seems to be rather slow to appear on some
systems, but no serious discussion or justification offered for
including the long unwieldy menus.

Even if gnome-control-center has some bugs, I would have thought that
working on those is more efficient and upstream friendly than
redesigning the menu.

Re: System-Administration cleanup

2008-10-23 Thread Jonathan Ernst

AFAIK, these are real bugs as most are in conflict with this implemented
blueprint :

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MenusRevisited

The separation between Applications  System Tools and the System menu
must be removed. This will be achieved by removing the items in
Applications  System Tools 

  * With above, items that are mostly system administration tasks
and/or use gksudo should be moved to System  Administration 

  * Items which affect only the current user are to be moved to
System  Preferences 

  * _Anything else that is not going to be hidden/removed is moved
to Applications  Accessories_

It's still overcrowded and doesn't address the fact that many of the
items should really combine for clarity.  Keyboard, keyboard shortcuts,
OnBoard...those seem like they could all go together.  Printing and
Default Printer?  Put them together.  Preferred Applications and
Removable Drives and Media should go together as well.  Removable Drives
and Media is really preferred applications for handling removable
drives and media, so it doesn't really need to be separate.

State of xserver-xorg-video-nv

2008-10-23 Thread Mark Schouten
Hi there,

I would like to request some extra attention for the
xserver-xorg-video-nv package. There are quite a number of bugs, and one
of them is buggin' me. :)

The bug is:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nv/+bug/275029

I get a 800x600 resolution when using nv. I'm not sure why, logging and
config is attached to the bug. I just managed to get into 'failsave'
which had a good resolution. So now I configured use of the Vesa driver
in xorg.conf, and resolution is ok now.

Please have a look at this, if there's still time. If input is needed,
feel free to contact me.

Regards,

Mark Schouten

Re: State of xserver-xorg-video-nv

2008-10-23 Thread Bryce Harrington
If you have a patch from upstream that you can confirm fixes the issue,
I can take a look, but otherwise you're a bit too late for intrepid
which is already into RC freeze.

You're right that there's lots of -nv bugs; I've upstreamed several in
recent weeks but they seem not to get attention upstream.  On the other
hand, -ati and -intel bugs do seem to get productive attention upstream,
so I've focused my energies more towards those.

If you would be willing to lend some time to assist with triaging and
upstreaming -nv, I can provide mentoring.  Pop into #ubuntu-x on IRC and
flag me down.

As to your particular bug, you're missing some important details needed
for troubleshooting.  See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Reporting for tips on
what to include in X bug reports.

That is of course true, but it's a separate problem, not a problem
with gnome-control-center. It exists both in the Ubuntu menu and in
gnome-control-center. I'm fairly sure it's a known problem upstream
and there is at least some gradual work to combine utilities (such as
the Appearance utility).
