  A fix for a nasty bug in URandR

   » ‎ Alberto Milone

  Today (thanks to Cyril Brulebois) I have found bug which in turn was cause by an ever nastier bug in URandR. The current refresh of a device was detected even if such device was not enabled (???) (i.e. plugged in but disabled). URandR knows that, if a device has a current refresh rate, such device must necessarily be enabled (otherwise the said refresh rate wouldn’t be called “current”).

  The cause of this problem was so stupid that I’m sure it was the result of one of my late night coding sessions :-/

  Please let me know if you have problems with this new release.

  1st French Blog in the Planet

   » ‎ Linux Mint Blog

  With 7 blogs in English, 3 in Spanish, 1 in German and 1 in Russian the Planet nearly had something for everybody. Or did it?

  Well, it’s getting closer now anyway… with the addition of a new blog in French:

   » ‎ LugRadio (podcast)

  Enclosure: [download]

  Jono Bacon, Stuart Langridge, Chris Procter and Adam Sweet talk about Linux, open source, and all manner of associated things. This show includes:

  • Alexandre Juillard from the Wine Project talks about where Wine is, why it isn't finished, and what's coming next (2.02) [Do you use Wine? Tell us about it on the LugRadio forums]
  • This week in LugRadio Top Trumps, we look at Adam Sweet's scores in the five categories, freedom-crusading, tinkering, underdog, community, and cheapness. Adam talks about why he's interested in Linux and open source (11.36)
  • The Asus EEE PC, a small-form-factor Linux-based laptop that's recently been released and is selling like hotcakes, is reviewed by the team. Does the device live up to the hype? (23.46)
  • The LugRadio Predictions Segment: once again we step up to the plate to tell you what we think will happen over the next 12 months in the open source world. With free bonus slagging for us being wrong (occasionally) this time last year (40.12) [What do you think will happen in 2008? Do you think we're wrong? Tell us on the LugRadio forums]
  • In Pimp My LugRadio, the LugRadio Christmas competition, you can win an Asus EEE PC! Listen to the show to find out how! (54.34)
  • Your letters. This week this includes a shoeing for Adam and Chris for not mentioning VirtualBox in the last show, the new Blender open movie "Peach" project, Stuart's man-boobs, whether sudo is a good idea, Ogg Vorbis support on hardware, and Adam getting his blog 0wned (59.48)

  This episode includes the tune Steady B, from Trafic de Blues' Fin de cavale album, which is licenced as CC Attribution-Noncommercial-Sharealike 2.5, which means that this episode is also under the same licence (a minor change from our normal licence for episodes).

  Thanks to EfficientPC for donating the EEE PC for us to review and then give away in our competition!
