RE: ubuntu-bug (was Bug reporting for Ubuntu Server? WTF?)

2010-02-20 Thread Ethan Baldridge
Even if you have X, another problem is that ubuntu-bug and apport ignore the $(HTTP_PROXY|http_proxy) variable, so it becomes very difficult to file bugs from work if you're behind a non-transparent proxy. -Original Message- From: ubuntu-devel-discuss-boun...@lists.ubuntu.com [mailto:ubunt

RE: rebuilding apache with debugging symbols

2010-01-12 Thread Ethan Baldridge
apt-get source apache2-mpm-prefork should set you on your way. Add -g to the CFLAGS in debian/rules, and then I think "make -f debian/rules" will be all you need. I'm neither an ubuntu nor debian developer, so anybody please correct me if I'm wrong. :) --- From: ubuntu-devel-discuss-boun...@li

Not sure what precisely those strings are from, but I can tell you right now what they ARE (along with the "lists of commands") after looking at /bin/ps That's the function table for the binary. The "@" sign you're seeing is actually represented as "^@" (one character, not two) - it's a null cha

I'm with you on vim (and also changing the /etc/alternatives/vi alias on its install -- the number of times I've hit a cursor key while in insert mode only to shake my fist at the monitor...) Oh well, hjkl is where it's at anyway, right? :) I'd never heard of tree until just now - seems like it

I just edit resolv.conf anyway and fix it the next time it “breaks” (every time I log into my company VPN, even though I have the PPPoE client set to not apply DNS settings from the DHCP server). For a personal computer, I can just keep editing; I have to fix the default route every time anyway

RE: Proposal: reduce base font size from 10pt to 9pt for Karmic Koala release

2009-10-10 Thread Ethan Baldridge
Conn said: - Fonts currently look over-sized on the default configuration (96dpi, 10pt, subpixel smoothing & slight hinting) This is the problem I believe. Why is the default always 96dpi instead of the correct information from the EDID? $ xdpyinfo | grep -e "\(resolution\|dimensions\)" dimen

Dwarf Fortress comes as a .exe as well, but again, it should be run with the included shell script (./df). Also, I think any C# apps have the ".exe" extension on the binaries by default. But .exe files run with Wine (separate from ELF binaries or CIL stuff which have a .exe extension) shouldn't n

Confusing namespace for git in Intrepid repository

2008-10-22 Thread Ethan Baldridge
Currently `apt-get install git` gives one a virtual package for "gnuit" from universe, which is some sort of midnight commander-alike. This seems rather odd considering that a) the program already has another name and package (gnuit), and b) a far greater audience would associate "git" with the sou
