Re: Karmic Usplash update from 0.5.4.0 to 0.5.4.1 on 10/9/09
Today an update of Karmic Usplash causes my Ctrl+Alt+F1-F6 to show garbled symbols that look like blue Chinese letters and no Login Prompt. I saw something similar and filed bug 448592. -- 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: possible regression in last jaunty kernel upgrade
Felipe Figueiredo philsf79 at gmail.com writes: when I did the kernel upgrade from 2.6.28-14-generic to 2.6.28-15-generic, the installation never completed, and I lost the ability to use aptitude and apt-get. I don't know against which package I should report a bug. If this was caused by a bug in the kernel upgrade, you should file it against the linux package. However, I guess you can sort it out with: sudo rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin Then the usual apt-get -f install, update, upgrade, dist-upgrade etc, and update-grub.

Re: Modem Manager Dev Package
Kevin Fries kfries at cctus.com writes: The README file for modem manager makes reference to a command line python program that demonstrates the D-BUS API to manipulate the modems. It also makes mention of a couple of generic classes that can be used to create custom modem classes for your 3G device... AWESOME, exactly what I want... Problem, these files do not exist in the main package. So I looked for a dev package, and could not find one of those either. Does anyone know where the dev resources are so that we can point some programmers at it? Thanks By dev package you mean the package sources? In general you can get the sources for any binary package using: apt-get source package In this case you can also browse the upstream git repository at http://cgit.freedesktop.org/ModemManager/ModemManager/tree/ Tormod -- 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: Graphical installer for the alternate CD?
Evan Dandrea evand at ubuntu.com writes: Sorry to be so late in reply. We actually already have most of the code for this as a result of work that was done for the Wubi specification. We just need to add it to the isolinux menu, but we're waiting for Hardy to do that. Interesting. Is there a boot option that I can use to check it out?

Re: Graphical installer for the alternate CD?
Michael R. Head burner at suppressingfire.org writes: The obvious suggestion is to use the alternate CD, but a graphical installer that has lower system resources would be nice. Or even if the Desktop CD had a boot mode that could launch the GUI installer using directfb-gtk (is that still around anymore?) without loading all of X and the entire desktop. What I have been doing on my 240MB (256MB minus 16MB for the graphics card) laptop is to log in to a Failsafe xterm session and launch ubiquity from there. This way to skip the gnome circus has always made it. You might prefer to start the metacity window manager before starting ubiquity. Maybe this would be easy enough to add as an option to the gdm session selection?
