If all that's necessary is to rebuild tigervnc against a properly patched 
xorg-xserver-source, this shouldn't be too tricky. The versions of 
xorg-xserver with the patch fixed can be seen at 
https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-5986-1. All that would then be 
necessary is to bump the dependency to require a version of 
xorg-xserver-source greater than or equal to the corresponding version in 
each stable release, and bump the dependency to require the newest available 
version of xorg-server-source or greater in the development release.


The tricky part here is following the whole Stable Release Updates process 
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates), which takes at least a week 
(probably more like a week and a couple of days) and requires lot of effort 
and testing to make work. If you're interested in helping to fix this 
hands-on, I'd be happy to assist, but stable release updates are one of the 
harder parts of Ubuntu development. If you'd prefer, I'd also be happy to 
just take this bug and work on getting it fixed.


Could you take it please ? I don't have any Ubuntu developer rights.

What is the best way to watch or see what you have done ?

Just watch the bug report you filed, you'll probably get email

It looks like SciDAVis is not available in Ubuntu repos:

$ apt-cache search scidavis

It looks like you can find help from the SciDAVis folks at
http://scidavis.sourceforge.net/help.html . Also see

Ubuntu 16 is kind of old...

I would start by trying to get the machine in a good state:

  $ sudo dpkg --configure -a
  $ sudo apt install -f

followed by:

  $ sudo apt update
  $ sudo apt upgrade

Then, attempt the install.

I would not be surprised if a modern libpng package cannot be
installed on an old Ubuntu. In this case, you might want to build
libpng from sources.

Problem with libpng12-0 - please help me

[Jan Brøndum Johansson]

Hello, I followed the instructions on how to install PDF Editor in this 
article by you https://vitux.com/how-to-edit-pdf-files-in-ubuntu/


Unfortunately this caused me some serious problems on my Xubuntu 16,04 
and I'm hoping you will help me get this sorted out.


As of now I can't update my system becaúse its blocked by unmet 
dependencies caused by libpng12 which can't be installed properly. It 
can't be uninstalled either.


I have attached the problem in detail downstairs.

Hope you will help me.

Thank you in advance.

MongoDB incorrectly upgraded - Help needed

[Rolando Ravelo]

Hi guys,

I have 7 servers running Ubuntu 16.08 and Unifi Video.
In a routine of maintenance, I received an error message about Public Key does 
not valid.
I searched over internet and found a new public key, ran it and downloaded a 
new repo of MongoDb:

echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/3.4 
multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.4.list

I did not noticed that I was installing a different version of MongoDb. After 
finished on two servers, I tried to connect to Mongo Shell and I cannot do it.
Previous MongoDb allowed me to recover user's passwords for Unifi Video because 
is my daily basis for me.

My Question is: Can I restore my previous MongoDB (2.6.10) installation WITHOUT 
lost any data inside Unifi Video?

I appreciate so much any help.


very truly yours

Request to help in installing CouchDB 1.5.0

[lavina chitara]

Hello Team,

I have ubuntu 14.04 and I am trying to install CouchDB1.5.0 which is very
old version. But the problem is our product is too old and working on old
versions only, so it is required to setup couchdb 1.5 on ubuntu 14.04.

Is there any deb file to install couchdb1.5, if yes then please share link.
Or no then please share any other way to setup 1.5 version.

Anticipating favorable reply from you.

Description-en: Perl 6 implementation on top of Moar virtual machine
 Rakudo Perl is a compiler that implements the Perl 6 specification and
runs on
 top of several virtual machines. Debian rakudo package runs on top of
MoarVM.
 .
 Perl 6 is a programming language, member of the Perl family. Like Perl 5,
her
 world-famous big sister, Perl 6 intends to carry forward the high ideals of
 the Perl community and is currently being developed by a team of dedicated
and
 enthusiastic volunteers.
 .
 valgrind package installation is suggested to debug issues with
 perl6-valgrind-m program.

Homepage: http://rakudo.org/
Bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug
Origin: Ubuntu


Is there anything I can do to help maintain this package for the greater
good and keep the lastest release available?  Perl 6 is an evolving
implementation, but it's really important to keep the latest versions
available as things progress and I would like to offer some help, perhaps.

Thank you!

Hi,

your request belongs to the users mailing list. Have you already done
some research by yourself? Without any experiences in this domain and
any research the following comes to my mind.

Just autostart the browser with this specific website.

Use kiosk only or use iptables to block/whitelist IPs and disable
Ctrl+Alt+ F-keys and use kiosk. Run the user session as xterm session
or a tiling window manager session that doesn't allow resizing the
window. Actually I don't know what already could be achieved by just
using kiosk. Note, e.g. firefox could be e.g. closed by a shortcut,
perhaps kiosk does cover this, too.

>3.  Whenever someone tried to open Terminal, it will ask for "Admin

So the user should be allowed to open at least this second app, too?
Install the terminal to a path that only is accessible with root
privileges. Use a gksudo wrapper etc. pp.

Again, your request belongs to the users mailing list.

Ralf

I need to make a custom version of linux with following requirements:

1. When turned on, it will open a prespecified website in a browser.
2. User can't open any other website or application, can't minimize the
browser.
3.  Whenever someone tried to open Terminal, it will ask for "Admin

Installation help (libindicator7)

[Jerome Wiley Segovia]

Hi,

I'm having trouble installing *libindicator7*.

I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 on my local development box and need to install
Chrome. However, I'm getting a message saying that I have an unmet
dependency on libappindicator1, which in turn requires libindicator7.

I found your page at https://packages.ubuntu.com/artful/libindicator7, but
wasn't sure what architecture I'm running (I have an i5 processor?) or how
to install this.

Please advise.

Thanks!

Hi,

if IIUC the issue is solved now?

As a site note

1. Users should always run

 sudo apt update

before "install".

2.   sudo gdebi path/package

as well as

 sudo dpkg --force-depends -i path/package; sudo apt-get -f install

are obsolet, instead simply using the by default installed apt, IOW
running

 sudo apt install path/package

does the job.

Backport help with #1561837 and #1562434

[Richard Levenberg]

Are there any backporters that can help with these two backport
requests. One is for a library and the other is for a PAM module that
uses the library. The packages are already in Xenial and have been
tested and work. Using PPA's and VM's of Trusty and Precise they have
been installed, tested and working.

I am willing to provide any technical assistance regarding PAM and
configuration. Credentials are required which can also be provided.

I have already tried two listed members of
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-backporters with no luck. Not sure how to
proceed. Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Hi Thiago,

I request you to consider this email as a gentle reminder on my below 
request for clarity.

Thanks,
Vishnu

Thank you Thiago,

Your response is certainly encouraging and enlightening which is giving rise to 
a few more questions. Before I ask them, I would like to list them the two 
states of mind that I am in.

a. The kind of programming I have done is that I am given access to a code base 
repository from where I download the entire codebase. Once I am assigned a bug 
I look into the code file that has the highest likelihood of being the home of 
that bug and once I have ascertained the same, I go ahead and correct/fix the 
code/bug.

b. As far as what I have seen here, I need to download packages/tarballs, then 
install them. I have even went through tutorials of modifying code files using 
nano/vi/gedit editors, learnt to update changelogs, package/unpackage changes, 
create binary files (.deb). I have also learnt the process of development in 
Ubuntu viz., take up bugs from Harvest -- find out if they have been already 
fixed by debian/future releases of Ubuntu or if someone else is already working 
on it -- if not, fix the bug -- update changelog, create package and request 
any Ubuntu Member to sponsor the fix.

Now my questions here are

1. Is it wise to look for the entire code base and browse through all 
code files to understand the landscape of what I am getting into?
2. Once I have a bug assigned to me, how do I go about identifying the 
exact location of fix?
3. Is there one central package that I need to download and lookup 
files/directories within it for possible location(s) of fix? Or would it be 
wise to look for specific packages/tarball(s) for every bug and just download 
them and investigate them for possible location(s) of fix?
4. What is the Ubuntu culture of code development?
a. Do they browse code files in the Ubuntu terminal and fix the 
bugs there using nano/vi?, or
b. Do they use an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) like 
eclipse for code development?

Thanks,
Vishnu

Hello Vishnu!

You're in the right place! Ubuntu and Debian are the most advanced
Linux distributions ever created...   :-)

You can try, for example:

---
sudo apt-get install build-essential
---

This command will install compilers and libraries for you.

You might also be interested in Golang, which is very, very impressive, and/or 
Mono/C# development, for example:

---
sudo apt-get install golang

sudo apt-get install monodevelop
---

Also, Ubuntu have tools like Eclipse or Codeblocks, ready for you!

---
sudo apt-get install eclipse

sudo apt-get install codeblocks
---

Basically, with Debian / Ubuntu, there is no need to download and install 
softwares from different places on the Internet, the repositories are full of 
packages!

To search for a software, you can try:

apt-cache search icedtea plugin

Icedtead runs Java applets in Firefox, for example...

Do you want VLC? Or ugly Flash? No problem...

sudo apt-get install vlc

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

What about LibDVDCSS ?

Just run:

sudo apt-get install libdvdread4
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh

---

Ubuntu have something very cool, for example, let say you want to have the 
java command, but you don't have it installed... Well, Ubuntu will tell you 
which package brings the java command if you type it at the console! For 
example:

---
thiago@ubuntu-1:~$ java
The program 'java' can be found in the following packages:
 * default-jre
 * gcj-4.8-jre-headless
 * openjdk-7-jre-headless
 * gcj-4.6-jre-headless
 * openjdk-6-jre-headless
Try: sudo apt-get install selected package
-

Then, run:

sudo apt-get install default-jre
---

Have more questions? You can also try: askubuntu.com!   ;-)

Also, you might note that Ubuntu is REALLY a plug-and-play O.S., you can just 
plug your printer and use it, your sound board, video board, tv capture board, 
everything you plug, you just works! No need for
junk CD Drivers to this and to that...   :-D

Hope it helps!

Cheers!
Thiago

The command-not-found package is available for other distros too, but
it doesn't help the OP to get the needed development packages for the
OP's projects. Depending to the OP's work-flow a distro that doesn't
split software from upstream into several packages might be more
comfortable.

Ubuntu and Debian split packages from upstream and not necessarily keep
the upstream name. The headers for software foo might be provided by
libfoobar2-dev and libfoobar-plugins-dev.

There are distros that by default provide an environment for compiling
and building packages. Software from upstream isn't split, but
strictly follows the upstream names. IOW if a project needs headers of
software foo, then only the package foo is needed, while for Ubuntu
and Debian there could be the need to be aware that the packages
libfoobar2-dev and libfoobar-plugins-dev are needed.

apt-get build-dep helps only to get build dependencies for provided
source packages.

Another thing to consider is, that assumed the OP want's to write
software for e.g. GNOME, a rolling release might be needed.

IMO the OP should read about Gentoo, Arch and the Debian Sid
and perhaps a few other distros.

Only the OP knows her/his work-flow and interested. Regarding work-flow
and interests distros provide different advantages and drawbacks.

Ralf

You might also be interested in Golang, which is very, very impressive, and/or 
Mono/C# development, for example:

---
sudo apt-get install golang

sudo apt-get install monodevelop
---

Also, Ubuntu have tools like Eclipse or Codeblocks, ready for you!

---
sudo apt-get install eclipse

sudo apt-get install codeblocks
---

Basically, with Debian / Ubuntu, there is no need to download and install 
softwares from different places on the Internet, the repositories are full of 
packages!

To search for a software, you can try:

apt-cache search icedtea plugin

Icedtead runs Java applets in Firefox, for example...

Do you want VLC? Or ugly Flash? No problem...

sudo apt-get install vlc

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

What about LibDVDCSS ?

Just run:

sudo apt-get install libdvdread4
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh

---

Ubuntu have something very cool, for example, let say you want to have the 
java command, but you don't have it installed... Well, Ubuntu will tell you 
which package brings the java command if you type it at the console! For 
example:

---
thiago@ubuntu-1:~$ java
The program 'java' can be found in the following packages:
 * default-jre
 * gcj-4.8-jre-headless
 * openjdk-7-jre-headless
 * gcj-4.6-jre-headless
 * openjdk-6-jre-headless
Try: sudo apt-get install selected package
-

Then, run:

sudo apt-get install default-jre
---

Have more questions? You can also try: askubuntu.com!   ;-)

Also, you might note that Ubuntu is REALLY a plug-and-play O.S., you can just 
plug your printer and use it, your sound board, video board, tv capture board, 
everything you plug, you just works! No need for
junk CD Drivers to this and to that...   :-D

Hope it helps!

Cheers!
Thiago

 Hello All,



 I have a few years of programming in the Windows environment. I have 
 just started to explore the Unix/Linux/Ubuntu world. I have been 
 spending a week or two around the Ubuntu home page and I am not able 
 to get started in programming. Using some tutorials I have been able 
 to, no further than, run some commands to setup the development 
 toolkit for Ubuntu development. I request some assistance in 
 transitioning into the Ubuntu world of programming, at least upto a 
 point where I understand where-to-get-what to get to submitting actual

Help needed in transition to libimobiledevice 1.2.0

[Amr Ibrahim]

Hello everyone,



Could someone offer help in the transition to libimobiledevice 1.2.0? 
The SONAME changes during the sync. 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1485347



I can't help as I don't have any development or packaging knowledge.



libimobiledevice 1.2.0 has proper iOS 8 support that is packed with new 
features, tools, speed improvements, code refactoring, crash fixes, 
memory leak fixes and much more.



Thanks all!

Thanks for the quick answer, the patch is already here
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hedgewars/+bug/1073730
Just one clarification, this patch changes the build behavior for every 
architecture, but still builds fine on both amd64 and i386.

As upstream suggested, if the patch really fixes the problem I'll include this 
line in an ifdef statement in order to make it visible only in arm builds.

thanks for your help

Help related to creating new distro

[Saqlain Abbas]

Hi,

I have created a small distro (it got minimal packages and i followed LFS
approach), it is terminal based i.e. no desktop environment like gnome or
kde etc.

I want to distribute it as an ISO image I need some help on how to create
this tiny distro ISO image? I got couple of questions kindly guide

1) Is there some command line tool which i can use to create ISO image. I
would have to install that software in my tiny distro?
2) How to create partition layout for user, before even starting the
kernel, do i need to write script? How can i invoke that from ISO image?
etc I want minimal user interaction at this step. I would have to install
boot loader also, at this stage?

Might be basic question, but i am new to this, so kindly guide.

Look online for creating bootable ISO on Linux. Essentially you need 
syslinux, mkisofs and el torito in the information you will find.

 do i need to write script? How can i invoke that from ISO image? etc I want 
 minimal user interaction at this step. I would have to install boot loader 
 also, at this stage?

On a Debian/Ubuntu system unpack a initrd image file and look at its contents. 
Essentially, you might need to do a basic init script to help the kernel get 
started inside your initramfs initrd image file. Your initrd can also be in 
other formats like cpio, compressed with gzip, etc... Nothing you won't be able 
to find information about by doing some quick search online. 
 
 Might be basic question, but i am new to this, so kindly guide.

Help with testing flash-kernel for stable release update (SRU)

[David Cullen]

Hello,

I submitted a patch for flash-kernel to Ubuntu to solve this problem:

 Kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.4.0-1-linaro-lt-omap does not match your 
 subarchitecture
 omap4, therefore not writing it to flash.

The problem has been reported as

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flash-kernel/+bug/1023952

I submitted a patch, but for the patch to be included in a stable
release update (aka SRU), it needs to be tested on a BeagleBoard-xM.

If you are running Ubuntu on a BeagleBoard-xM, will you help me test
this patch?

Thanks for the prompt reply.
lol on me for thinking those lists aren't that active  :-)  proven
otherwise now ;)

still i did visit the site mentioned in your reply.Will take a second look
at it again.

it would have helped a lot if launchpad featured a category where extras or
miscellaneous people like me who find it difficult to decide to join under
a particular category.
Speaking with respect to  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter
how can u help color coded sections.
Those even are just highlighted words with no links regarding how to join
or links relating to the actual topic.
After lot of clicking did i mange to find this devel lists( though i dont
regret finding this now  :-)  )
I just hope contributing became lot easier so that ubuntu as a whole can
grow more rapidly.
also i hope u saw a brainstorm link i gave searching deeper in launchpad
found some ideas in my brainstorm link have been reported as bugs and are
in development.

-thanks

Thanksfor your advises. I have been following ubuntu since 10.04 from every 
beta 1, and have seem most changes taking place in unity. The idea is great. 
Maybe I should get used to searching... And how linux works. I still think we 
should pick different default wallpapers for different DEs though.

Reminder/Correction: OSS Research Help -- enter drawing for tablet computer ($500.00 gift card)

[Lila Holt]

Hello!

We are asking you for some help from the Open Source communities.

As researchers at the University of Tennessee we are interested in
discovering more about learning and interactions of members of the open
source forums.   This research is conducted through the University of
Tennessee and is in no way associated with any forum organization.  To
further our research we would like input from forum members.  The responses
are very important to us so we can better understand what tools help forum
members learn and have a productive experience in participation.

There are two ways you can help:

1.   Take a survey about the tools you use in the forum.

We are requesting approximately 15 minutes of your time to participate in
our survey.
Survey link:  http://survey.utk.edu/mrIWeb/mrIWeb.dll?I.Project=FORUMLEARN



*As a thank you, upon exiting the survey you will be given an opportunity to
submit information to be entered in a drawing for a tablet computer ($500.00
Gift Card).*



2.  Have a one on one interview talking about the forums, how you learn,
and tools used.  *As a thank you for your interview you will be sent a
$25.00 gift card. * Email lh...@utk.edu for more information.





You may do either or both of the above.  Please be assured that your answers
will be confidential.  No individual’s answers will ever be identified in
any report. Should you have any questions about the project or our interest
in using the results, we encourage you to contact Lila Holt, at
lh...@utk.edu) or Vandana Singh at vand...@utk.edu.




Contact information you provide for the drawing is completely separate from
your survey answers and there will be no way to identify participants in the
actual survey responses. Nor will contact information be used for any other
purpose. The odds of being selected will depend on the number of respondents
to this survey.

This reward suggests a fundamental lack of understanding about the
community you're researching.  With a prize like that you are not going
to get anything approaching an unbiased sample of the OSS community.
Many here have philosophical objections to the iPad.

 longer supported operating system?
 
 http://software.decisionsoft.com/ recommends you use xqilla instead of
 pathan which is in the Ubuntu archives.
 
 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases lists the currently supported Ubuntu
 releases. You need to upgrade to at least Ubuntu 10.04.

Maybe you can try with the latest gcc compiler, or file a bug upstream...

It sounds to me as if you are building your own OS, which is perfectly
fine, of course. However, what you are doing seems not to be related to
the development of the Ubuntu distribution, so you are probably asking

Re: help on pyshared and jinjia2 ubuntu 10.10

[李白|字一日]

I reinstalled ubuntu 10.04.2, the problem is the same.. [?]

2011/2/20 李白|字一日 calid...@gmail.com

 hi all,

 i am developing python apllications with ubuntu 10.10.

 and migrating project base from appengine to tornadoweb.

 jinjia2 is the template engine i chosed in my previous project, and  i want
 to use it again.

 but now i found my eclipse could not find jinjia2, and python
 itself either.

 i found by using dpkg that the python jinjia2 is now installed in a
 different place instead of the dist-packages.
 and it is now located at: /usr/share/pyshared/jinja2

 because i am not quiet familiar with python, so i don't know how to make it
 right again.

 i added /usr/share/pyshared/ to eclipse library path, but it didn't work
 for me.

 can anyone help me on this?

 thanks.

 Regards,
 Wenxin

Hiyas,

Sadly pages do get 'vandalised', you can always revert to a previous
edition. As anyone is allowed to edit community pages it is a thing does
occurr. Thank you for bringing it our attention, I have subscribed to that
page also, so will also revert it should they attack it again.

The MOTU-mentoring is currently inactive, but there are some great resources at:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Packaging/Training
(The IRC training sessions are great time to ask questions, or find
the instructors on IRC after class)

If you want general packaging help, also check out the debian resources:
http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/
http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/
IRC:
#debian-mentors on OFTC IRC network
debian-ment...@lists.debian.org
http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/

 I've got something that works with older debhelper stuff (prior to the
 rules file being made into one target/command), and not sure how to
 port what I was doing in rules to the new format.  Specifically, I
 want to make some files (a log file) owned by someone other than root.

Switching to debhelper 7 (one target rules files) should be
straight-forward, this is probably a discussion that we should have on
IRC or debian-mentors (since it doesn't have to do specifically ubuntu
development and we don't want to clog up people's mailboxes). You can
upload your package to http://mentors.debian.net and ask questions
specific questions on ubuntu IRC or debian-mentors mailing lists.

As for changing permissions: Check to make sure you're not violating
policy (some directories must be owned by root), but if your package
needs user specific log files, you can create them in ~/.{packagename}
using a wrapper when you launch the program or by hacking the source
code to look for it in {HOME}.

Scott

The documentation about today's implementation doesn't give any hints

All I can find is the description of the init file.

 about how a service can be disabled, a la update-rc.d disable.

 All I can find is the description of the init file.

I don't know if there is an 'official' way to disable a job, but the
two ways I have used in the past are:
1) Rename it so that it doesn't end with .conf. Upstart only watches
.conf files, so renaming it to .conf.disabled will kill it.
2) Add an unused event (like 'never') to the 'start on' field. As long
as nothing emits the 'never' event, then the job will never start.

1 seems more robust in that 2 can still be started by upstart
accidentally if something emits an event that it shouldn't. However, I
believe 2 plays more nicely with dpkg and how it manages configuration
files (upstart files are listed as debian conf files).

If you're still looking for a better answer, try asking on

Where can I find more docs/help on upstart?

[Paul Smith]

Esp. how it interacts with Ubuntu/Debian packaging.

For example on my Ubuntu 10.04 system I installed tftpd-hpa and find
that it's been converted to upstart.

No problem, except that I don't want it to start when my system boots, I
want it to be started via xinetd (I need it to work this way in order to
test compatibility with other software; please don't suggest just don't
do that... I have to do it).

What's the proper/recommended way to change the configuration of this
package so that (a) it doesn't conflict with new packages installed, and
(b) upstart does not try to start tftpd when my system boots.

In the old SysV way there were fancy tools that managed the SysV
symlinks and a method for modifying them that was, be consensus,
preserved across upgrades/etc.  How do I do the equivalent thing with
upstart?

I (finally) found the init.5 man page so I see the format of the config
file, but is there some way to customize the startup of these packages
other than hand-editing conf files?

So far my Google/etc. searching for admin-level details of upstart
hasn't netted me very much.


Thanks!

[Xorg] Help needed

[Lorenzo De Liso]

Hi, 
Since yesterday (the kernel update) I'm affected from a bug of Xorg (?),
the resolution of the display is 800x600 and I can't change it. First
of the update I had 1024x768 and it worked properly. I have tried to
disable the nvidia driver, to generate a new xorg.conf (but it doesn't
work with the standard xorg.conf nor with the nvidia xorg.conf). Since
that I can say it isn't a my problem. I have reported a bug for that:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/576453
Feel free to comment it (any help is apprecciated). For me this bug
should be fixed soon, since it's a critical bug.

Help needed

Hi there, i'm developing a tour system for Ubuntu. The idea is present 
the users something to look if they don't know what Ubuntu is, also 
could be a little help for those without internet connection or for 
those who needs guidance installing the system.

The framework is almost ready on

define animations, scripting and narrations.

Check  the blueprints to more information.

Let's finish this before the beta.

Help in compiling Samba.

[psyco...@tiscali.it]

I'm trying to compile Samba 3.0.37 from tarball in my ubuntu 6.06 LTS 
Server using the instructions for building debian packages provided 
with the Samba tarball in packaging directory but the package creation 
fails.

How can I compile this version of Samba mantaining the original 
package subdivision (samba, samba-common, and so on).

Probably the 
binary/rules does not apply to ubuntu and needs to be modified, but I 
can't figure out how! Can someone help me? Where can I find the right 
binary/rules or is there a way of backporting the samba version shipped 
with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS to Dapper?

I have also searched all over the 
network for precompiled (binary) packages for Dapper (I need at least

doesn't require replacing Yelp, though.

Remember that a help viewer needs to be compact enough to fit
*alongside* whatever you're wanting help with.

There are many ways in which you could improve the existing help system.
One would be devising a method by which help pages can show conditional
help depending on what environment you're running (e.g. Ubuntu vs.
Ubuntu Netbook Edition). Another would be implementing a mechanism for
help pages to have a Show Me button, that highlights the relevant item
in the interface. Another would be to clean up the poor use of icons,
ruled lines, and italics in the help page style sheet. Another would be
to improve the search (for example, from an application's help pages,
the search should return results just about that application).

Just curious, would adding a support ticket system of some sort help?

Not sure about the nitty gritties of how they work under the hood but it's a

Right, i've forgotten the blueprint, I will open it now.

The kind of assistance is about all the ares of the project, from 
tunneling screencast, wiki documentation or parsers (man, docbook, etc.)

Also, having a team to work could agilize the development so, may say, 
it could be included in some recent release coffcofflucidcoffcoff.

 of creating a new port of Ubuntu is:

 1. Build the toolchain by hand
 2. Build the base system from the toolchain
 3. Install the base system into a chroot, and rebuild the base using
 the newly bootstrapped toolchian.
 4. Setup buildds, and compile the archive
 5. Port the kernel
 6. Port the installer
 7. Spin the images

 While bootstrapping and setting up the buildds is relatively
 straightforward, a considerable amount of effort will be going in the
 initial builds of the archive. As it stands, Ubuntu's GCC didn't build
 out of the box on MIPS. Speaking from experience on the ARM port, its
 not an effort to be undertaken unless there is a strong enough
 developer backing to deal with resolving FTBFS's and maintaining
 merges from Ubuntu. Depending on the speed and number of boxes, fully
 compiling the archive will likely take 3-4 months (even if shortcutted
 using Debian packages to help get main fully built).

 Loongson can become popular and now is a good time to prepare for.

 How can I set up a compile farm that sync packages from Ubuntu source,

 Where can I find information about such infrastructure in Ubuntu?

 Hi,

What about https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete ?
There's a huge amount of information there. If you still feel that to be
spotty, it would be helpful if you noted specific things you found it
lacking in.

 The problem with these tutorals - and there are several - is that they
 don't take into account the differences in what you're trying to
 package.

Naturally you have to take the concepts expressed in the guides and
apply them to the specific package you are working on. I don't
understand what you're implying they should be like instead.

 I'm trying to create a polipo-tor package which depends on both polipo

 ANy clues why?

By that subdirectory you mean /etc/polipo-tor/ ?

Normal packaging methodologies will register files in /etc/ as
conffiles. Special processing is applied to conffiles to maintain user
changes. User changes includes deleting them. If you had a version of
your package installed, and deleted the files manually, then reinstalls
of your package will not recreate them.

Try reinstalling it with
'dpkg --force-confmiss -i polipo-tor_1.0-0ubuntu1_all.deb'
.

If that's not the problem, you'll need to publish your source package
and ask for someone to take a look at it. The #ubuntu-motu IRC channel
is a good place to get packaging help. If your package is intended to
enter Ubuntu itself when ready, publish it to REVU.



 Also, I've set up a local repository using the following script:
 
 cd /ref/www/packages/ubuntu
 for b in $(find dists -type d \( -name 'binary*' -o -name 'all' \))
 do
 dpkg-scanpackages $b /dev/null | gzip -9c  $b/Packages.gz
 done
 for s in $(find dists -type d -name source)
 do
 dpkg-scansources $s | gzip -9c  $s/Sources.gz
 done
 
 
 However, when I try to apt-get -y install a package, it fails because
 the repo isn't signed somehow.  I've already added the key I used to create
 the packages via apt-key add but apparently that's

Low latency kernel in Karmic to help with PulseAudio?

[Vishal Rao]

Hello,

Whilst participating in the Karmic forums, I remembered a discussion about
some distros like Fedora running
a low-latency kernel which helped with PulseAudio.

Is there going to be discussion during UDS amongst yourselves (devs) about
enabling low-latency for Karmic as well?

See this mailing list post by Lennart of PulseAudio/Fedora fame:
https://tango.0pointer.de/pipermail/pulseaudio-discuss/2009-February/003150.html

And, I wonder if enabling low-latency mode also improves responsiveness of
the user desktop...

A real-time (-rt) kernel is available and has been for at least a few 
releases.  PREEMPT (which Lennart says would help) was enabled once upon a 
time, but I think it was disabled due to high laptop battery usage or 
something like that.  After that email from Lennart, discussion about it came

point.

But uh yeah...I do intend to at least bring it up at UDS and see what the 
kernel team says.

Re: Low latency kernel in Karmic to help with PulseAudio?

 Is there going to be discussion during UDS amongst yourselves (devs) about 
 enabling low-latency for Karmic as well?

Yes.

 See this mailing list post by Lennart of PulseAudio/Fedora fame:
 https://tango.0pointer.de/pipermail/pulseaudio-discuss/2009-February/003150.html

One thing to keep in mind (that I've raised to other developers) is that 
Ubuntu tends to release with slightly older versions of software in the 
audio stack. This tends to complicate development and troubleshooting of 
audio problems. FeatureFreeze has been early enough to prevent updating 
ALSA (think kernelspace and userspace sync) and PulseAudio, both of which 
contribute quite heavily to user experience.

For Hardy, this was a significant problem. New versions of ALSA necessary 
for improved PulseAudio integration were released immediately after 8.04 
released. The best that could have been done would have been to configure 
PulseAudio to use dmix and dsnoop devices to work around the massive 
breakage that ensued. Of course that approach runs afoul of Lennart's 
strident recommendations that only hw be used.

For Jaunty, we again encountered the situation where significant linux 
patches were necessary to prevent disastrous regressions from Intrepid's 
user experience, and of course these patches were developed and tested 
extremely late in the 9.04 cycle. Testing and tweaking of these fixes is 
ongoing (see the linux SRU), with many indications that all levels of the 
stack need to be realigned to resolve PulseAudio's behaviour.

(It's worth noting that several pieces need to be aligned in Karmic:
  linux; - needs to remain synced with
  alsa-lib;
  alsa-plugins;
  pulseaudio)

The Karmic development schedule has some points at which these syncs can 
be evaluated, and hopefully 9.10 will have the necessary pieces in place.

Once there are devoted developers for these tasks, the user experience 
should improve noticeably.

Not to mention that users of -rt tend to avoid PulseAudio rather

performance with -rt is poor when PulseAudio is used (whereas -generic 
fares better).

Really, the RT patches make the kernel a completely different beast. 
Luckily the necessary mid-layer ALSA fixes uncovered late in the 9.04 
cycle positively affect both -generic and -rt. Testing Karmic with newer 
- -rt, ALSA, and PulseAudio is going to be a joyride indeed.

OT help required

[richard]

Hi Guys
Yes I know its OT but this is where the intelligent gurus live, and its
a bit relevant as G95 was removed from the repositories.

I'm attempting to build G95 for this 64bit machine.
To stop G95 being built in a test mode it requires:-
./configure --with-gcc-dir=

I've tried /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-4.3
as well as /usr/bin/gcc

The Makefile is made OK , but running make gives:-

g95spec.c:47:20: error: config.h: No such file or directory
g95spec.c:48:20: error: system.h: No such file or directory

Could someone please point me in the right direction, and any chance of
a AMD64 version of G95 back as a choice of fortran compilers, please,
pretty please.

TIA

Help Ubuntu 8.10 X server has started crashing 1-2 per day

[Thomas Wolf]

Hi
(sorry for cross-posting to ubuntu-users, but I'm not sure which is the
right forum for bringing bugs to developers attention):

My X server, since installing 8.10 in January, has been mysteriously
crashing every now and then - and it seems to happen more frequently
lately.

Environment:
I'm running 8.10 on a Dell Latitude D820 (1280x800) on a docking
station connected to a secondary monitor (1600x1200) with my desktops
spanning both monitors. The system is totally up-to-date.
uname -a: Linux beowulf 2.6.27-12-generic #1 SMP Thu Feb 5 09:26:35 UTC
2009 i686 GNU/Linux

When the server crashes, after restarting, I can see a backtrace in
/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old:
0: /usr/X11R6/bin/X(xf86SigHandler+0x79) [0x80c3009]
1: [0xb80e9400]
2: /usr/X11R6/bin/X(XkbWriteXKBGeometry+0x181) [0x81a9ed1]
3: /usr/X11R6/bin/X(XkbWriteXKBKeymapForNames+0x610) [0x81a9210]
4: /usr/X11R6/bin/X(XkbDDXLoadKeymapByNames+0x1d7) [0x81b41c7]
5: /usr/X11R6/bin/X(ProcXkbGetKbdByName+0x40e) [0x819041e]
6: /usr/X11R6/bin/X [0x8195668]
7: /usr/X11R6/bin/X(Dispatch+0x34f) [0x808c89f]
8: /usr/X11R6/bin/X(main+0x47d) [0x8071d1d]
9: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe5) [0xb7cef685]
10: /usr/X11R6/bin/X [0x8071101]
Saw signal 11. Server aborting.

I did a quick google search to see if this is a known issue and came
across what appears to be similar and added my comment there:
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/290252
But I'm not sure what to do next - it really is quite annoying. Is
there, perhaps, a fix available with a later version of X? There was a
similar bug reported in the Fedora 10 support lists and the resolution
there *seemed* to be that it's fixed in 1.6? Is that something (a
package) I can update in 8.10 or do I have to wait for Jaunty?

I am attaching the aforementioned Xorg.0.log.old as well as
.xsession_errors.) Let me know what other info I can provide.

Thanks for any info (and novice instructions on how to fix things).

help: pythonpackage: gconf-schemas --unregister does not delete everything

[Francesco Fumanti]

Hello,


I am trying to add gconf schemas to the python package named onboard.
The package uses cdbs and python-distutils.mk. The call to gh_gconf in
debian/rules generates the corresponding gconf-schemas --register and
gconf-schemas --unregister calls in the postinst and prerm scripts.

After building the debian package in the pbuilder environment, the
installation of the bin package registers the schemas; uninstalling the
package unregisters the keys, but not completely: the keys are all
deleted, but the /apps/onboard and the /schemas/apps/onboard entries
remain listed in the gconf database (at least they continue to show up
in the gconf editor).


Could anybody please tell me what is going on or how to make also the
two remaining entries disappear?


You can have a look at the debian/rules file and at the gconf schemas
file in the following thread:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=984014


Many thanks in advance for any help.


Cheers

Francesco

Hi Lars--

Yes--from what I see, it looks much better. A suggestion would be to 
include a Help tab or menu with a good, brief walk-thru of what it 
does.I have noted a rather negative thread on ubuntuforums about 
this  I think that you are heading the right direction.

Where is the white-list located? I have several extra programs

 Hi.

 I've made a version of Cruft Remover (binary packages system-cleaner and
 system-cleaner-gtk) that fixes the worst problems, I hope.

* Added Polish translation from Piotr Makowski. (Closes: LP# 290196)
* The apt Packages list is now checked for sanity. (Closes: LP# 290024)
* Icon is now shown in menu, and by the window manager.
  (Closes: LP: #274714)
* The current kernel will now never be considered cruft.
  (Closes: LP# 285657)
* Now asks user to confirm that they want to remove packages or remove
  other cruft. (Closes: LP# 285888)
* Package short description is now shown in the user interface.
  (Closes: LP# 286394)
* The GTK UI now shows column headers, so that it is clear what the
  tick column means. (No bug reported about this explicitly, but it
  has come up repeatedly.)
* Support for whitelists in /etc/cruft-remover.d/*.whitelist added.
  See the cruft-remover(8) manual page for details. This can later be
  seeded with the most common third-party packages, until dpkg+apt
  get sufficient meta data to deal with this in a better way.
  (Does not quite close LP: #285746)

 Because of an unfortunate mishap with version numbers earlier, I can't
 upload this version to my PPA, but I have uploaded it to my personal
 site:

 http://code.liw.fi/ubuntu/pool/main/s/system-cleaner/

 I'm asking for help with testing to verify that these bugs are, indeed,
 fixed, and that there aren't any new problems introduced. Any help with
 this would be appreciated.

 Desipite the large and intrusive changes, I'm hoping that they'll be
 accepted as an SRU, given the sorry state of the packages currently in
 intrepid. But before I ask for an SRU, I would like to get some feedback
 from other people that the fixes fix the problems for them, and not just
 for me.

Re: help wiki theme improvements

I think there is way too much space taken up at the top of the page. Perhaps
we could use a sidebar instead? I think something must be done to save space

 Hi,

 I'd like to use this thread as a way of collecting information about
 how to improve the help wiki theme. Since the upgrade it has gone
 backwards a bit, and I've put in a request for the admins to send me
 the current theme so that I can merge it with our bzr branch [1] and
 ensure that we have a process in place to contribute improvements to
 the theme generally.

 https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-doc/ubuntu-doc/helpthemehttps://code.launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-core-doc/ubuntu-doc/helptheme

 The things I've noticed as being missing from the current theme are:

 1. The Page History link is now called Info
 2. The footer is back to the old one with broken links and is missing
 our licensing information
 3. There is no parent link on subpages

 Have I missed any? Also, feel free to add ideas for improvements, such as:

 4. Link to talk or discussion pages on every page (as per point 3
 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HelpWikiQualityAssurance)
 5. Upgrade theme to nicer looking one (longer term goal)

 AFAIK, it cannot yet be marked confirmed because not enough information is
 present to fix it, however I'm not sure what else there is that we can add.
 It doesn't involve a crash, so there aren't any backtraces, and nothing
 related is showing up in any of the log files I've looked at.

There was an error in the documentation regarding how the Confirmed bug
status should be used.  I've updated the description of Confirmed to
indicate that it is the correct status to use if the bug is experienced
by multiple users.  I apologize for any confusion this caused.
