Should be fixed this week, hopefully tomorrow.  I figured out what is
causing it today.  All the info is on that bug though, including
thinking I'd fixed it and not really doing so :)

I miss the ability to check out changelogs from installed packages in
synaptic. It would be useful to see it while offline, or for packages
not in ubuntu (e.g., packages from medibuntu). The way it works now,
it's mainly intended to check for what's changed before the user
upgrades the package, since you have to download it each time, even if
there's no newer pacakge.

Looking at Package Management for Karmic or Karmic+1

[Evan]

While apt, synaptic, update-manager, and gnome-app-install all do decent
jobs of providing front-ends for package management, there are a few issues
and common feature requests which bear taking a look at. This is a strawman,
so feel free to rip it apart as necessary.

Modal Dialogues
All three of the GUIs currently use modal dialogues for the actual
download/install process, and this is considered a usability issue AFAIK
(I'm not a usability expert by any stretch of the imagination, please
correct me if I'm wrong). I believe most people would like to be able to
continue browsing available applications, or reading changelogs of updates
while the packages are downloading and installing.

PolicyKit
Synaptic runs fully as root. Unless there is a specific reason not to,
should it not be migrated to PolicyKit?

Queuing
The ability to start an install process, and then decide to queue another
app to install / update after the first is finished.

Parallelism
Starting the install process in parallel with the download process as soon
as the first packages are finished downloading. (I got this idea from
brainstorm, but I can no longer find the relevant idea.)

I'm not sure what we ought to be changing or replacing, but I would think we
want to write a replacement for apt as the backend, and a replacement for
whatever provides the progress-bar in the GUI?

The backend would accept regular apt-style commands, and would take care of:
- determining the optimal order for download to allow parallel download and
install
- seperating the download and install processes and running them in parallel
- queuing new commands separately by download and by install
 - if a new command requires a download, and the old command has
finished downloading, start the download for the new command right away even
if the old command is still installing
 - if a new command counters an old command that is still queued (eg
remove a package that hasn't actually been installed yet), remove both
commands from the queue.

The front end would display two progress bars, one for download and one for
installation. It would also display a queue of what's to come (perhaps with
little Xs to cancel something if you change your mind). It would be a
seperate window in it's own right, perhaps with the ability to minize to
tray.

This means that you could:
1. open update-manager
2. open gnome-app-install
3. start an update with update-manager
4. start installing an app with gnome-app-install
5. read the changelogs for the updates in update-manager
6. close update-manager
7. browse through other applications in gnome-app-install
8. close gnome-app-install
And through the entire process, the actual download/install would be
happening in an entirely seperate window, affected only by steps 3 and 4.


And that's the concept. Again, this is a strawman, so criticizm is welcome.

problem in pidgin or indicator-applet?

[Nicolò Chieffo]

After some time I leave pidgin open (maybe some hours?) the indicator
icon disappears, and I can't see it even if new messages are pending.
I receive the notifications, but the indicator applet behaves as
pidgin was closed.

How can I obtain more debug from indicator applet, so I try to isolate
the problem?

jaunty DVD

[richard.b...@blueyonder.co.uk]

Hi
I need to put linux on a machine at work, the internet link is very 
slow, so I'd prefer to load 90% off a DVD and just pull down one 
package. Also my boss is a bit paranoid about linux, so the least I use 
the network the better. Is there a DVD image lurking any where, pref 
jaunty, but intrepid would do.

TIA

Re: Did notifications just move?

[Ken VanDine]

There was a fix for handling multiple monitors that went out with
notify-osd 0.9.7.

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/notify-osd/+bug/331369

I think the current behavior is the notification appears on the display
with a window that is currently focused and if no windows are in focus
the display with the pointer.

You will need to file a bug on launchpad against tzdata

$ apport-cli -fp tzdata

Thanks for the help.

Did notifications just move?

[Oli Warner]

I have a twinview setup. Two identical monitors. Two sets of panels. Looks
like one huge desktop of pure win.

Notifications have, up until today, been showing on the right hand monitor,
(technically) the secondary display. Now they're showing on the left screen.

Now I've seen all the people calling for the notifs to be shown on the
primary display, but I was never one of them. I liked them where they were.

Please tell me I can choose where they go.
