I reported bug upstream and ended up talking to the maintainer [0]. The bug is already known to him and he recommends simply making libwmf a runtime dependency of imagemagick [1].

When I installed Chakra I already had my home directory.

All my files were set jmss:bundle except ~/Desktop which was set jmss:users.

What is this bundle group? Does it allow to install bundles?

Anyway, I think all my files should be set jmss:users.

I run a hybrid-MBR/GPT setup, with this partition scheme:

$ sudo gdisk /dev/sda
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.4

Partition table scan:
MBR: hybrid
BSD: not present
APM: not present
GPT: present

Found valid GPT with hybrid MBR; using GPT.

Basically, if I don't erase my 0xEE partition and split it in 2 (unformatted+bios_grub flag & 0xEE), Tribe won't allow me to proceed to the next step (install).
However, this is a valid scheme for grub-install to work with, might be a bug or undocumented, but it works on my setup. I've lost/corrupted that partition scheme enough time to know that
"sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/sda3 /dev/sda" does work and installs grub.

The main issue i have with tribe asking another unformatted partition is that it 'eats' one of the 4 partitions i can have in my hybrid mbr, thus prevents me from making a triple boot for example.

There hasn't been a release of ffado for nearly two years, though quite a bit of development seem to be going on.

Packaging a version from svn should be considered.

My KMess keeps being "aborted". One of the condition that would happen every time was when I disconnected my MSN account. KDE's bug report assistant would notify me that KMess received a signal 6 (SIGABRT).

And kmess running on Kubuntu would not have this problem.


The following is the backtrace.

Packaged version is 2.0.5, the current is 2.0.8. Also, the recommended version for the ffado drivers is >= 2.0.7 so it should be updated.

The old project webpage seems to be closed; the place to go for the new stuff is https://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Release_Notes_-_Libraries

When running jackd -d firewire, the output is

jackd: unknown driver 'firewire'

When building jack, libffado is sort of a "hidden dependency". Firewire support will turn itself on if it's installed, but there won't be an error message if they're missing (there'll just be no firewire support then).

To fix: install libffado on the build system before building jack.

Ever since KDE/Qt 4.8.1 was pushed into the stable repo, KDevelop has been crashing frequently.

I figured out that one reason was a kdelibs bug that affects KToolBar: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=296622

Unfortunately, that is not the only reason. I now notice that when I'm working in the editor KDevelop crashes. I can't elaborate much further because the backtrace I get is useless. I can try to get a Valgrind log when KDevelop crashes next.

The last time a crash happened, it occured when I pressed ctrl+s
