I'm going to take a guess that the build system is looking for libraries in the old locations, rather than the new multiarch locations. Try playing around with -L options to the linker (possibly missing "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu")? Evan On Tue, May 29, 2012 at 8:58 AM, John Gabriele wrote: > Hi, >

LibreOffice file-type association with Visio Files

I was reminded of this by the recent xdot thread. The LibreOffice version in Precise can now import Visio files, so it would be a good thing to have that file association in place as well. I assume it's a one-line fix somewhere, but I have no idea where. I'm willing to do the work if someone can po

Historically, ia32-libs provided *all* of those libraries in one package. Ubuntu and Debian have now transitioned to a better method where the libraries are broken up into individual multi-arch packages so that other packages only have to pull in the ones they need. Until all other packages use th

There's been a discussion recently on the Ayatana list (first message at [1]) about a 'contacts' or 'people' lens, and various related ideas. It's a very neat concept and I think it's probably worth a discussion at the UDS. Just my two cents, Evan [1] https://lists.launchpad.net/ayatana/msg06608.

Did a little more testing: even stranger. If I have a truly menuless app open (like Update Manager), then F10 does focus the first indicator as you mentioned, Jason. In that case I have right-to-left wrapping, but not left-to-right wrapping. On Sat, Apr 16, 2011 at 8:01 AM, Evan Huus wrote: >

Keyboard access to me menu in Unity?

In past versions of Ubuntu, Super-S would select the me menu so that you could access it without a mouse. In unity, this combo is used for the expo plugin, and I cannot find the combo that replaced it. I have found http://askubuntu.com/questions/28086/unity-keyboard-mouse-shortcuts which is fairly

Re: IronPython and Mono are very old. How can we get an update?

Hi Vernon, Welcome to the list. As far as I know this is the right place to raise this sort of question. Which version of mono you have probably depends on which release of Ubuntu you're using. Ubuntu 10.10 (the latest stable release of Ubuntu) has mono 2.6.7 which is the latest long-term stable

Re: Grouping preferences/Administration items?

I definitely agree that the non-techie will not understand the difference between Prefs and Admin. Perhaps renaming "Preferences" to *username* and "Administration" to "All Users"? Something like that would be clearer, although then we might want to also rename "System" to "Preferences"? We should
