Re: Call for testing empathy
> Empathy[1] will be part of the upcoming GNOME 2.24 desktop. > The ubuntu desktop team considers using it instead of Pidgin for > intrepid as default IM client. I request not to replace pidgin with empathy for following main reasons: 1. I believe empathy is relatively young project compared to pidgin and has not received enough testing. I feel that the testing in alpha/beta cycle will not be enough as compared to when people can try empathy in all it's glory in a stable release. When I say 'all it's glory' I mean everything including the VoIP features. 2. There are too many extensions out there for pidgin which is not yet the case for empathy. This is something similar to how firefox vs epiphany situation is. This is my personal opinion and I am not sure how many agree with it. But I hope it will be given a thought while making decision.

Re-encoding sample content with latest theora encoders
Hi all, I hope this is the right place to discuss the example content. This is related to the video where Mr. Nelson Mandela explains meaning of Ubuntu. As good as the video content is, the video quality is I believe average at best. Theora has improved really well in last year. I think we should take advantage of the latest development in theora encoder [1] and re-encode the video from original source to produce better looking video.

Package removals from archive should have email notifications
Hi all, It just came to my attention today that a package I worked on and updated in Ubuntu (when it was orphaned in Debian) was removed accidentally about 1.5 months back. The package in question is 'electric'. https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/electric/+publishinghistory I am not uploader of the package. It was sponsored/uploaded by Matvey Kozhev (LucidFox/sikon). I am assuming that even he didn't get any notification about it. I came to know about this mistake when I was planning to make a sync from Debian for a mistake in debian/copyright in Ubuntu version. The version on Debian is based on Ubuntu version and fixes this problem. http://packages.qa.debian.org/electric I suggest that package removals should have email notifications, if it is possible, to following people. 1. Last uploader of the package. 2. The email address of last changelog entry. 3. The maintainer team, Ubuntu MOTU in this case. Not a must, but nice to have. Please let me know what you think.

Re: fast-user-switch-applet
A quick look at the code reveals that the menu items added to the applet are of the type GtkImageMenuItem. The reason stock items are not being used is probably because the labels in stock menu items do not contain '...'. It is quite possible that the icons were left out by mistake. I think it is better to log bug and then discuss the pros/cons here. By the way, +1 for me for icons.

Call for testing - DVD playback related
Hi all, This is a call for testing for DVD playback in jaunty with players totem-gstreamer, mplayer, VLC. xine based players are not affected. I myself have broken dvd playback after the migration to libdvdread4. But it looks like the playback is not broken for everybody and for all DVD types. I have a package ready that fixes playback for me but I would like more feedback on that package before I upload it to repositories. What needs to be tested: 1. Only if it works at all. If it doesn't then try the libdvdread4 package from my PPA. Please refer to bug 342890. If you are using totem-gstreamer then make sure gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad is installed and resindvd plugin is getting used. What additional help I need: The package in repositories uses a custom Makefile and a configure2 script. But package in my PPA uses the traditional autogen.sh, configure, make way. If any autotools experts can figure out the reasoning behind the fix I used in the package in PPA that will be great.

They are doing good job at maintaining their own IDE (netbeans) in Ubuntu. Eclipse has become a mammoth. If any new maintainer tries to touch it, it is going to be pain. We (Ubuntu community) are already short of good java packagers. Of those we have I believe none have any experience with Eclipse packaging. The people who are responsible for Eclipse in Debian are missing in action (from my understanding). I will be happy if proven wrong. So this has really become a deadlock. If canonical does anything about (as in hiring someone for six moths to get the package in good shape), that will be great.

There were some changes done to swt-gtk in Ubuntu (version 3.4-2ubuntu2) to fix FTBFS on lpia and powerpc. I am not sure if those changes are still relevant. Since the default-jdk is different in Ubuntu and Debian, I can not rely on Debian build logs to decide whether to drop these changes. And since currently openjdk is not installable (dependency problems) on powerpc in karmic chroot I can not try building the source package from Debian.

Which version of Ubuntu are you using? On my jaunty installation I see 'Edit' button in the top toolbar. When I click it the sidebar changes to show buttons 'Crop', 'Red eye reduction', 'Desaturate', 'Sepia tine', 'Straighten', 'Soft focus', 'Auto color', 'Adjust colors'. I also see timeline just above a photo in 'Browse' mode and IIRC the timeline has been there since Hardy.

Just saying cyber cafe software doesn't say much. What kind of functionality are you looking for. Perhaps it is already available in different packages. By the way how many cyber cafe owners do you know who want to use Ubuntu?

If you have 'Alternate CD' you can use it as repository. g++ is available on the alternate CD.

When indicator applet is not present, the power management menus are supposed to appear in their standard place i.e. System menu. This was the case at least in karmic. Don't know about lucid.

There was a bug where the 'unchecked' state of checkbox was never remembered. But this has been fixed for some time.

Also ffmpegthumbnailer is in universe and not in main. Further, if you check the comment by Jillian on the blog post you mentioned, you can see that ffmpegthumbnailer does not understand the file names in the format in which nautilus passes them.

Kshitij, This is not a user support mailing list. You should either ask on ubuntu-users mailing list or if you live in India then on ubuntu-in list. You will have better luck there. By the way you do not need to use 'sudo' with on/off.

It was decided by Debian Java team that library packages should not depend on runtime unless the package needs a specific version of runtime (1.5 or 1.6).

I agree that PDF should have been default since start. I believe there was a papercut bug for this. But I don't have reference to the bug. By the way what you call as CUPS dialog is probably the dialog provided by printing APIs in GTK+. So it should be possible to patch GTK+ to use PDF by default.

Inclusion of theora beta 1 for gutsy
Hi all, I would like to propose the inclusion of libtheora beta 1 in gutsy. The latest version provides more spec compliant decoder and performance improvement in encoding/decoding. I have tested totem, mplayer and ffmpeg2theora and haven't found any breakage so far. Performance looks to be improved but that may be just my personal observation. I have test packages in my ppa which you can try. The ppa address is http://ppa.launchpad.net/onkarshinde/ubuntu Notes: 1. I have created new packages today by syncing to debian package. Unfortunately I can not upload the latest package due to version problem i.e. 1.0.beta1.dfsg-0ubuntu1 (my old package) vs libtheora_1.0~beta1-1ubuntu1 (created from the package in debian) 2. Due to above mentioned problem, I have all the files in a .tar.gz hosted at http://onkarshinde.googlepages.com/theora.tar.gz. It contains source package as well as binary packages.
