I arrived in Prague yesterday for the Ubuntu Developer Summit. Including time spent in transit in Singapore and London, the flights took about 30 hours.
As I was flying on BA, I got to experience Heathrow Terminal 5. It wasn’t quite as bad as some of the horror stories I’d heard. There were definitely aspects that […]

Since upgrading to Ubuntu Gutsy I’ve occasionally been seeing the following notification from GNOME Power Manager:
I’d usually trigger this error by unplugging the AC adapter and then picking suspend from GPM’s left click menu.
My first thought on seeing this was “What’s a policy timeout, and why is it not valid?” followed by “I don’t remember […]

I am at Narita Airport at the moment, on the way to Boston for some of the meetings being held during UDS. It’ll be good to catch up with everyone again.
Hopefully this trip won’t be as eventful as the previous one to Florida

When Storm was released, one of the comments made was that it did not include the ability to generate a database schema from the Python classes used to represent the tables while this feature is available in a number of competing ORMs. The simple reason for this is that we haven’t used schema generation […]

I got round to upgrading my desktop system to Gutsy today. I’d upgraded my laptop the previous week, so was not expecting much in the way of problems.
I’d done the original install on my desktop back in the Warty days, and the root partition was a bit too small to perform the upgrade. […]

The new Canonical Shop was opened recently which allows you to buy anything from Ubuntu tshirts and DVDs up to a 24/7 support contract for your server.
One thing to note is that this is the first site using our new Launchpad single sign-on infrastructure. We will be rolling this out to other […]
It hasn’t been long since the last gnome-vfs-obexftp release, but I thought it’d be good to get these fixes out before undertaking more invasive development. The new version is available from:
http://download.gnome.org/sources/gnome-vfs-obexftp/0.4/
The highlights of this release are:
If the phone does not provide free space values in the OBEX capability object, do not report this as […]
I’ve had a number of requests for USB support in gnome-vfs-obexftp. At first I didn’t have much luck talking to my phone via USB. Running the obex_test utility from OpenOBEX gave the following results:
$ obex_test -u
Using USB transport, querying available interfaces
Interface 0: (null)
Interface 1: (null)
Interface 2: (null)

I’ve just released a new version of gnome-vfs-obexftp, which includes the features discussed previously. It can be downloaded from:
http://download.gnome.org/sources/gnome-vfs-obexftp/0.3/
The highlights of the release include:
Sync osso-gwobex and osso-gnome-vfs-extras changes from Maemo Subversion.
Instead of asking hcid to set up the RFCOMM device for communication, use an RFCOMM socket directly. This is both faster and doesn’t […]
Previously, I posted about the FM radio plugin I was working on. I just posted the code to bug 168735. A few notes about the implementation:
The code only supports Video4Linux 2 radio tuners (since that’s the interface my device supports, and the V4L1 compatibility layer doesn’t work for it). It should be […]
