So from now on you are strongly encouraged to report sound problems with

$ ubuntu-bug audio

instead of trying to guess the package right.

With my new powers, I fixed a crash in gdm, and applied two stragglers into gvfs’ build system today.

More to come!

I found myself typing the same things over and over, so I finally wrote a little script called lpshell:

#!/usr/bin/python -i
import code, os, sys
from launchpadlib.launchpad import Launchpad, STAGING_SERVICE_ROOT, EDGE_SERVICE_ROOT
lp = Launchpad.login_with('test', STAGING_SERVICE_ROOT)

This logs into Launchpad and gives you an interactive Python shell with an “lp” object:

$ lpshell
>>> lp.bugs[439482].duplicate_of

Update: I committed this to ubuntu-dev-tools now, renamed to lp-shell for consistency with the other lp-* commands.

One particular highlight of 1.11 is that it is now easy and consistent to collect information for a bug report on one place/at one time and save it into a file

$ apport-bug --save /tmp/argh.apport udev

… and report that later on with

$ apport-bug /tmp/argh.apport

This can happen on an entirely different machine.

Updates for all supported Ubuntu releases are built in the ubuntu-security-proposed PPA. They pass the upstream and postgresql-common test suites, but more testing is heavily appreciated! Please give feedback in bug LP#496923.

Thanks!

And indeed I wasn’t disappointed. It’s not as convenient as Python, but really not far from it, and it’s faaaast!

Today I finally got back to this and wrote my first D-Bus example in vala which does a call to DeviceKit-disks:

using DBus;

int main(string[] args)
{
    Connection con = Bus.get(BusType.SYSTEM);

    dynamic DBus.Object dk = con.get_object(
            "org.freedesktop.DeviceKit.Disks",
	    "/org/freedesktop/DeviceKit/Disks",
	    "org.freedesktop.DeviceKit.Disks");

    ObjectPath[] devs = dk.EnumerateDevices();
    foreach (ObjectPath o in devs)
	stdout.printf("%s\n", o);

    return 0;
}

Compile and run it with

valac --pkg dbus-glib-1 dbus-dk.vala && ./dbus-dk

and voila!

Yesterday I dropped the superfluous hal dependency from gparted, today I uploaded gdm to stop using hal for getting the keyboard layout and use libxklavier instead.

I also applied Julian Cristau’s udevified X.org branch to our xorg-edgers packages into my halsectomy PPA, created some udev rules for udev-based X.org input detection ([1], [2]), and off we go: that was the last hal reverse dependency. My system now fully boots and works without hal.

Hooray!

Many people asked for further features, two of which I added now: First, it automatically invokes gpg to create a tarball signature (unless one is already present), and second it invokes an editor to specify changelog and release notes (just keep the files empty if you don’t need them).

Uploaded to lucid’s ubuntu-dev-tools, enjoy!
