Of course, but just because they are good at promoting Ubuntu as a standalone brand with few references to upstream projuects doesn't mean that unilateral decisions should be made - there have been plenty of breakdowns in communication on both sides
@MarcoCeppi it still looks like a "Here's our proposal, if you don't like it, we'll take all", based on the latest comments from Mark. How accurate that perception is, I don't know
So I have: 1 NDS, 1 laptop running Ubuntu 10.10, 2 working wireless cards (1 build in and 1 dongle). I would like to set up a WEP connection between the laptop and the DS then use the other wireless card to connect the laptop to the internet. So I can go online with my DS.
What I’ve tried so far...
@JorgeCastro from a packaging point of view, I'd be interested to find out why a number of active MOTUs end up migrating to working directly on Debian (a good thing in itself)
@JorgeCastro no, but you do try & engage the community, which relies on that
I'd say the community's perception of Ubuntu is based on things like "this awesome new music-player" and "neat new dash that helps me organise my stuff", the few developers who have a stake in the banshee issue read up on what's happening, and rationally evaluate it afterwards.
man I'm really worried ... I think I'm doing this the wrong way around. First programming language I learned was PHP, then Java, at school I was scratching the surface of C++ and now I want to learn C++ and C
some software is inherently cross-platform. For example, when you program in ANSI C, you're using a bunch of functions that are defined in the C Standard Library. Both Linux and Mac OS have one of those, and they are designed to behave the same
It's exactly the same with python, and other languages
@Alvar The way Wine works is to fool the program into thinking it's running on Windows. I.e. when the program calls the Windows function to draw a box on the screen, it's really Linux software that draws the box. But the program only cares about the right return value (much simplified)
But the software is never converted, you don't even have access to the source code.
Project Looking Glass is a now inactive free software project under the GPL to create an innovative 3D desktop environment for Linux, Solaris, and Windows. It was sponsored by Sun Microsystems.
Looking Glass is programmed in the Java language using the Java 3D system to remain platform independent. Despite the use of graphics acceleration features, the desktop explores the use of 3D windowing capabilities for both existing application programs and ones specifically designed for Looking Glass.
There is a Live CD available from Project Looking Glass. The Looking Glass environment is also ...
ono, that was what I was talking about earlier, notice this line: deb http://javadesktop.org/lg3d/debian testing contrib it's the repository sun provided for ubuntu and debian, and the URL is no longer available
Personally I Would check out brainstorm.ubuntu.com for some Ideas of a program sized hole in Ubuntu that would fit your requirements.
My own suggestion for something cool (not a programmer) would be to create a torrent based package management system making it almost impossible to have problems ...
@Alvar maybe something like "I want to install 'Project Looking Glass', but the official repositories are not accessible anymore. How can I install it?"
Hi,
I really really want to find this package. Because after I saw the youtube clip I realized it's just one of those things I must have done before I die.
This tutorial would be great if the repository were online.
My question is:
Where can I find the file, and how can I install it without c...
@Alvar It's now just a place to dump files for whoever needs a non-metered simple file host. It was a failed attempt at a production company for a collective I'm a part of
@Alvar It has a link to a subversion repository (which is a thing where you can check in source code files, not the same as a debian repository for your packages). but, you guessed it, it's a 404 - Not Found

@Alvar check again in a few days, in the meantime, update the question when ever you have new information. Everytime you update it, it gets bumped to the front page make sure it's good though, and easy to read and all that jazz.
@Alvar I need to dissapoint you. The Virtual Box graphic driver is not supported from the live CD. Tried several setting but eventually X or even VBox crash. Too bad :/
