Tablet pc (wacom based) not configured by default in hardy: why?
I can't find an answer to this question around on google. Since edgy, there used to be wacom drivers in default xorg.conf. Together with the fix to a long standing bug, this allowed wacom tablet PCs to work by default in feisty. In gutsy, wacom lines were commented out, and in hardy they are not there at all. As a result, toshiba tablets don't work by default and this is a pity. Bug link follows, but the mail is to ask why the lines were removed from xorg configuration? Just adding them back makes my system work again, and I can't find records of why it was disabled. Thanks anyway, hardy is in far better shape than 15 days ago, and many bugs are on their way to be fixed even though after release. https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wacom-tools/+bug/188787 Vincenzo -- 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

Afaik, those lines were removed to make the xorg.conf completely basic, because devices should be added and configured automatically by xorg in hardy. Seems as if the autoconfiguration doesn't see the tablet, and so they should be put back in. -- Sebastian Breier [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil -- 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
Question on building custom kernels.
My goal is to build a live ubuntu CD that has a patched kernel and my
own applications
pre-installed on it. I feel I am very close, but I can't get the kernel
to work right.
I am using Ubuntu 7.10 desktop version.
At first, I was trying to use kernel 2.6.23.17 + my own hacks with a
.config based off of
Fedora 8, and then with a .config from the ubuntu 2.6.22 kernel. I then
tried back-porting my patches
into the official 2.6.22.9 ubunto kernel-tree and using the default
debian .config. I changed the
.config slightly (disabled debugging symbols, support 16 cpus, 2/2G
memory mapping, 1000
ticks per sec and enabled some modules relating to my own patch-set.)
In all cases, the live CD (booted under qemu) appears to start OK, but
without any obvious
errors it goes to the initramfs prompt instead of booting into linux proper.
I am attaching the steps I am using to try to do all of this. Once I
run through these steps once,
I have been going into the chroot again to install new test kernels, and
then run all of the
live-cd related commands after '#Clean up chroot I tried the steps
w/out updating the
kernel and it booted fine, so it seems to be specifically related to the
kernel.
Any ideas what I could be doing wrong or suggestions for ways to further
debug this?
Thanks,
Ben

I ran into dependency problems. linux-image-2.6.24-15-386_2.6.24-15.27_i386.deb depends on module-init-tools_3.3-pre11-4ubuntu5_i386.deb which depends on libc6_2.7-10ubuntu3_i386.deb. I don't mind replacing module_init_tools, but libc6 scares me a little. Is it safe to replace the Gutsy libc6 with the Hardy libc6? It will probably lead to more dependency problems. Try: $ sudo dpkg --ignore-depends=module-init-tools -i linux-image-2.6.24-15-386_2.6.24-15.27_i386.deb Wenzhuo Wenzhuo, I've found a fix (or work-around) for this issue. I found this kernel parameter all_generic_ide mentioned as a possible fix for a problem with Seagate drives. I tried using it with my default, un-modified Gutsy kernel but it didn't solve the problem. I tried it with the custom Gutsy kernel I built with the pata_via module enabled and that worked. I don't know why, but the combination of the pata_via module and all_generic_ide allows my system to boot and run the Gutsy kernel. Now I'll be ready to upgrade to Hardy after it's had a week or to to stabilize. On another note, Brian Murray (ubuntu developer?) has marked my bug (212042) as won't fix because it doesn't meet the criteria for a stable release update. What does this mean?

Evolution spam filter not working?
Has anybody managed to get the bogofilter plugin for Evolution work in Hardy? For me, Evolution reports that learning spams works fine, everything is present (plugin and binaries), spamassasin is disabled, junk filtering is enabled, but spams don't get caught. I wonder about this because I did never have it working in precedent versions either, and I don't know if this is worth a bug. Maybe just clearing my user configuration would solve it - upgrading is often cause of trouble.
