I’ve been testing out Ekiga recently, and so far the experience has been a bit hit and miss.
Firewall traversal has been unreliable. Some numbers (like the SIPPhone echo test) work great. In some cases, no traffic has gotten through (where both parties were behind Linux firewalls). In other cases, voice gets through […]
Thought I’d post a followup on my previous post since it generated a bit of interest. First a quick summary:
It is not an Ubuntu Dapper specific bug. With the appropriate combination of fonts and pango versions, it will exhibit itself on other Pango-enabled Firefox builds (it was verified on the Fedora build too).
It […]
Ran into an annoying Firefox bug after upgrading to Ubuntu Dapper. It seems to affect rendering of ligatures.
At this point, I am not sure if it is an Ubuntu specific bug. The current conditions I know of to trigger the bug are:
Firefox 1.5 (I am using the 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.1-1ubuntu10 package).
Pango rendering enabled (the default […]
I’ve been in London for a bit over a week now at the Launchpad sprint. We’ve been staying in a hotel near the Excel exhibition centre in Docklands, which has a nice view of the docs and you can see the planes landing at the airport out the windows of the conference rooms.
I met […]
Launchpad got a mention in the latest Everybody Loves Eric Raymond comic. It is full of inaccuracies though — we use XML-RPC rather than SOAP.
The Bugzilla migration on Friday went quite well, so we’ve now got all the old Ubuntu bug reports in Launchpad. Before the migration, we were up to bug #6760. Now that the migration is complete, there are more than 28000 bugs in the system. Here are some quick points to help with […]
The migration is finally going to happen, after much testing of migration code and improvements to Malone.
If all goes well, Ubuntu will be using a single bug tracker again on Friday (as opposed to the current system where bugs in main go in Bugzilla and bugs in universe go in Malone).
Joao: you can configure XScreenSaver to show a “Switch User” button in it’s password dialog (which calls gdmflexiserver when run). This lets you start a new X session after the screen has locked. This feature is turned on in Ubuntu if you want to try it out.
Of course, this is not a full […]
One of the things that was discussed at UBZ was moving Ubuntu’s bug tracking over to Launchpad. The current situation sees bugs in main being filed in bugzilla while bugs in universe go in Launchpad. Putting all the bugs in Launchpad is an improvement, since users only need to go to one system […]
So after I posted some instructions for setting up Avahi on Breezy, a fair number of people at UBZ did so. For most people this worked fine, but it seems that a few people’s systems started spewing a lot of network traffic.
It turns out that the problem was actually caused by the zeroconf package […]
