For anyone else having this problem I was able to get some resolution from the guys in #v4l on IRC. Basically the Firedtv driver needs the entire kernel source to compile - not just the headers. They said they are aware of the problem and will address it at some point. So a quick work around is to disable the firedtv driver by modifying the ./v4l/.config file and changing '=m' to '=n' on the firedtv line. The longer solution is to install the kernel source and then modify the makefile configuration options to use that instead of the headers (it will default to using the headers still if not configured correctly). If you're not using firedtv, this is not worth it.

Karmic Kernel Source throwing error when building v4l-dvb
I'm trying to build the v4l-dvb tree. I believe my build environment is setup correctly as I have installed build-essential, linux-headers and linux-source.

Re: Looking at Package Management for Karmic or Karmic+1
Now that the Updates Available window opens by itself, it may help for it to contain a checkbox for installing future updates by default. +1.

Re: Remove app via apt-get from menu
Anyway, what if the user wants to remove the Freecel game, but want to keep the others? That's almost impossible, cause they belong to a single package. Possibly the immediate fix is to allow users to simply remove the item from the menu and not remove the package from the system? -- 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
VPN package installer UI (old nework offline icon)
Going OT, would any one go For or Against having NM vpn option auto launching some kind of VPN friendly UI to get the NM-pptp/openvpn/cvpn like we do for codecs? Changed the subject to something more appropriate... This was misleading to me as well (as I just setup a VPN last night for a colleague for the 1st time). I had to use the web to determine what the next steps were. I agree something should popup with package-install suggestions like the codec window. - Andrew -- 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: Remove app via apt-get from menu
*When I load up the Application menu, I want to run a particular application*. I'm trying to get things done. Interrupting that process to search for a package in a package manager, gets nothing accomplished. But if I could right click and deal with 90% of the process *from the menu*, my system would undoubtedly be less cluttered and I'd be happier. Very fair points. We should consider prompting a dialogue asking to remove only the menu item or the application/package from the system. We also have to consider what happens if we remove something like gnome-terminal which in case will remove gnome-desktop and then cause things to not get updated in the future... -a -- 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: Replacing network-offline (old version 2xmonitor) with NM wlan 0% signal strength icon
your system can only use one default route [snip] dont waste panel space for confusing information and show the most relevant info the user needs to know about. Have to agree with Oli here. N-M should handle the logic for switching between different networks but in the tray, only one icon should be displayed - the connection currently being used. - Encrypted - Non-encrypted I personally think this more advanced information should be displayed when clicking (or hovering - another debate i'm sure) on the N-M icon. My reasoning being that additional states is confusing and a user knowledgeable about wireless security should also know which networks they automatically connect to. 4. VPNs 5. Bluetooth threading The case of VPNs is interesting and I don't feel it fits into this connection list since it's another layer on top of an already established connection. In the case that you are VPNing over a wireless network, you would like to see both the wireless signal strength and the VPN indicator. Maybe a second icon on the tray should display once connected. Need feedback here from those who use VPN more than I do. Bluetooth threading? (tethering) is a case which I know little about and others will have to help here as well. From my perspective I now sit with 4 network connections and 3 states: 1. Wired 2. Wireless 3. Mobile (3G / Edge) 4. Bluetooth Tethering 1. No connection 2. Connecting 3. Connected (Active) Is there a page where we could put some of this icon/state info into so it's a little more organized? -a -- 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: Replacing network-offline (old version 2xmonitor) with NM wlan 0% signal strength icon
The VPN indicator lock is sufficient. It does its job of notifying me when vpnc has disassociated just fine. If only command line vpnc was so lovely. How does this work currently.
