It was a bit minimalist, and the frames in the windows are not resize-able. It doesn't seem as full featured as Synaptic, though it has a good look to it. It's info area is better laid out, and a live search feature. The repo listing is better in Synaptic. In short, I could see it being very useful and competitive with Synaptic, with a few tweaks and cleanups. Currently it is not the question if to replace our existing tools. But it is important to not miss the PackageKit interface on APT based systems, since some upstream projects think about using it for installing additional components. Furthermore PackageKit only wants to target simply package manupiulation tasks. It will never be a replacement for Synaptic, but could be used in the language selector or gnome-app-install.

PackageKit: Call for testing
The APT backend for PackageKit [1] has made a lot of progress recently in the 0.3.x series. It nearly supports all features of PackageKit. Highlights of the 0.3.x series are: * Search for codecs and mime type handlers * Local file installation * Change log for updates * Group support * Repository handling * Notification of new distro releases * A lot of bug fixes See the feature matrix for more infromation: http://www.packagekit.org/pk-matrix.html Currently we have got a quite outdated 0.2.4 version in Intrepid. Furthermore sharing the same version would help to reduce maintenance burden, since Fedora plans to ship 0.3.2 in the next release. But before proposing a freeze exception I would like to have some feedback. So if you are interested in this piece of software and want to push packagekit forward please test it on your system and report bugs that you may encounter. You can find packages of the upcoming 0.3.2 release for Hardy and Intrepid in this Personal Package Archive: https://launchpad.net/~packagekit/+archive Add the repository and install the packages packagekit and gnome-packagekit. The new applications will appear in the System - Administration menu.

Re: nm-applet : Notification Area or Panel Applet ?
Zitat von thibaut bethune [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Therefore i wander if network manager should not be an applet instead of cluttering the notification area : actually network manager icon doesn't notify anything (it acts in a manner quite similar to Tomboy which is an applet. Besides it is called nm-applet !). AFAIK the decision to use the notification area was made since there is a standard for it on all desktop systems. So you can use the nm-applet in XFCE, GNOME and KDE. NM is not developed in the Ubuntu framework. You should contact the developers for such deep change requests.

These are F-spot (photo manager) and Tomboy (note application). Ubuntu also includes two other programs which do a similar job, gThumb (photo manager) and GNOME sticky notes.

Re: Ubuntu development - joining...
Am Samstag, den 03.11.2007, 17:42 -0400 schrieb Tim Hull: Hi, Hello Tim, I have been generally lurking around Ubuntu development for several months now (since about the Feisty release), and previously had done the same around the Warty/Hoary time period. Though I have found Ubuntu to be superior to other Linux distributions (save for maybe Debian, except that it doesn't release often enough), I still have noticed many issues that have stood out like an eyesore - especially when it comes to laptops and multimedia. I want Ubuntu/Linux to be a more viable alternative to Windows, and it really seems like some improvements are needed in these areas especially if Ubuntu is to take the next step. Welcome! Thanks that you want to contribute to Ubuntu. Wanting to get things done is a good starting motivation. Last week there was the developer summit in Boston and next whole week all Canonical employees will be at an internal meeting. So the lists and IRC have calmed down a bit. Anyway, stemming from the issues I've been having, I've been quite interested in becoming involved in Ubuntu development. However, so far, my attempts have seemed futile. For one thing, I noticed a few bugs several weeks before Gutsy release - and posted detailed information (and in one case, even a patch) but never got a response. I keep gathering more information and updating said bugs, but they remain unnoticed no matter what I do. Also, from what I gathered, there is no simple way to become a *developer* - yes, there is MOTU, but 97% of the issues I'm finding and am concerned about deal with the main system, not the universe. I've also looked for any kind of laptop team and these seem basically nonexistent save for a couple dead mailing lists and a couple contacts that I've had no luck with. The best approach is to search a project/issue that you are interested in, which seems to be improving the laptop experience. There is also a lengthy document from Andreas Lloyd which lots of contacts: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributeToUbuntu Does anybody have any pointers for me? Would it be a good idea to try to become an Ubuntu member and/or join the QA team at this point? Would this make it easier to get my bugs/patches noticed? I want to become involved, but as it stands it seems like I'm piping my efforts to /dev/null :) The Ubuntu membership is more a kind of reward for contributing a lot to Ubuntu and expect of getting a nice email address you cannot do a lot with it. You will get commit access (motu/core-dev) if you have proved to be a trustworthy and productive member of the community and the corresponding privileges will help you to improve your work flow a lot. I don't think that this is the case yet. If you have a patch just nag the people on IRC about it. P.S. Some of the bugs in question include #151016, #137598, #147883, #63543 (reopened recently), #137792, and #141001. I didn't file all of these, but I did reproduce them all and see a likely cause in most of the cases... All of the above mentioned bugs are very hard to reproduce and a likely cause is not the relevant part of the code that has to be fixed or even a solution. Furthermore it seems that in general the hardware support of the MacBook doesn't seems to be very good: Perhaps some ACPI issues.

I completely agree the security is important. even a signed software can do a lot of harm to your system. installing software from the internet blindly is perhaps the cause for most unstable windows systems. if a package would be signed by the ubuntu developers it should be part of the distribution. if you require to only install signed packages only you would at least make sure that the package creator has got some basic skills. furthermore it could be nice to make use of the gnupg web of trust here. you could calculate a trust level from the number and kind of signatures. what are your plans about an translation infrastructure for the oci files? if you don't find any translators you won't get any translations - the current problem of ddtp. you mentioned tucows and a central wiki page many times. any plans on this? the idea was discussed several times in the past, but it was never implemented in the official ubuntu frame work. perhaps an error, since now we seem to get a lot of separated sites with no central quality assurance. cheers, sebastian -- 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

Thank you, Charlotte As an observer from the previous two SoC's, I can say the biggest problem is students biting off more than they can chew. One of the biggest issues with tablets is that GNOME often barfs on the screen rotation, primarily the panel layout. As such, you possible place would be work on some new panel work, but that might be best done upstream. Another option and somewhat more general, is to do an X config gui, likely porting fedora's system-config-xfree86 to Ubuntu. You could take a look at displayconfig-gtk that went into Universe lately. It is a gtk frontend to guidance. As a nice side effect both Kubuntu and Ubuntu could use the same backend. It is currently in an early development stage, but it progresses fast.
