Apologies for the delay, I've only just got back into work following the birth of my daughter. GMane has split the discussion but you can see it here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.rrdtool.devel/4132 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.rrdtool.devel/4155 > >> I've attached the libtool patch for reference. > > The patch prevents reading the dependancy_libs for cases it > shouldn't read it, and so avoids unneeded linking to libraries. Well in this case dependancy_libs should have -lwrap in them but it get squashed. However it could be that RRDTool's autoconf magic is incorrect in the way is specifies libwrap: http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool-trac/browser/trunk/program/configure.ac?rev=2247#L105 > My guess would be that you expect to be able to save linker flags > in dependancy_libs, but I can't think of a good reason why you > would want to do that. Isn't this all driven by autotools? The only slight weirdness is rrdcached uses a different .la file (librrd_th): http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool-trac/browser/trunk/program/src/Makefile.am?rev=2247#L116 But I thought the .la files where set up by autotools so should Do The Right Thing (tm). However it's entirely possible the automagic is being set-up wrong. Any advice gratefully received. I'm kinda lost digging through the rabbit hole that is the autogenerated scripts and makefiles which is why I went to the source. -- Alex, homepage: http://www.bennee.com/~alex/ http://www.half-llama.co.uk -- 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
Ability to set correct DPI in 12.04 (still forced to 96?)
It seems that there is no longer a way to set the correct DPI for a particular screen. I'm testing 12.04 on a MacBook with a 110 DPI screen. This is correctly detected by Xorg (107x103 detected by nvidia driver in Xorg log file), however xdpyinfo shows the resolution is still set to 96 DPI. I don't even know what layer of Xorg/GNOME/Unity is causing this problem, so I'm not sure where to file a proper bug report anymore. It seems like a rather serious issue to fix before 12.04 is released for 5 years! There is already a wishlist bug to add this to the Displays control panel: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/8357 It should presented in such a way that users understand that this is a physical characteristic of their display that must be correct and should never be changed. I guess GNOME 3 also text-scaling-factor setting which is useful, but should not be confused with the physical DPI characteristic. Unfortunately it seems this is not quite the same as a UI-scaling property which would resize UI elements as well, which is what we really need. Thoughts? What am I missing here? My main laptop has as 147 screen, and I would never want a lower resolution screen again, so I really hope to see this issue finally fixed! -- Ryan -- 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: Ability to set correct DPI in 12.04 (still forced to 96?)
This is an upstream change to remove all the "advanced" font settings from the control panel. You can still set most all of them within dconf-editor directly though.
