| #453 | worksforme | R script compiles from source, debs available | ||
| Description |
The current way the R script was written pulls source packages from cran and compiles them. deb packages are available now for most packages,and this could potentially save a lot of time in the build. But we need to go through the list and figure out the ubuntu package names, and which ones don't have packages. Note debs are available by adding a repo like deb http://<my.favorite.cran.mirror>/bin/linux/ubuntu jaunty/ In the case of our project we've been using http://cran.ms.unimelb.edu.au/ Or for use Californian builders http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/ |

| #532 | worksforme | VMware client Xorg unable to log in | ||
| Description |
On VMWare Server 2.x It does appear that using any kernel newer than the base kernel (might be related xorg package) on Xubuntu 9.10 causes an odd glitch where the login page comes up but X restarts after login and tosses you back out to the login page. Sometimes going into xterm session and running sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg then exiting to restart X resolves the issue for a single login. Reading online hardcoding resolutions might also solve the issue with an xorg.conf file.(Note Xubuntu by default no longer has a xorg.conf file so you have to create it.) This issue does not effect VirtualBox, might effect VMware player and is unlikely to effect the live DVD/USB. Should we temporarily disable the sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to exlude kernel updates? I also think we should modify the ubuntu config to only notify users about updates every 3-7 days. So that a normal person using it in a workshop will never see the update prompt. |
