Last Day Of Peace
Well, today is the last day of my holiday, back to the daily grind tomorrow. Typically, my Christmas cough is nearly gone... I got ill the day before the holiday started and it lasted until the end.
I spent most of Saturday watching Return of the King -- a deserving finalé to the story. Peter Jackson did very well, on the whole I was very pleased with the translation from book to screen.
After LotR, I spend a while getting kernel 2.6.1-rc1-mm1 built. It even booted after I stopped making the IDE and ext3 drivers as modules... I found a udev .deb, but as I wanted to play with HAL and maybe even gnome-volume-manager, I need it built with D-BUS. Several email later, Daniel Stone had packaged D-BUS 0.20, and the udev packager was making positive noises about packaging the latest release and adding D-BUS support.
I then felt brave and built 2.6 for my ThinkPad... which didn't go as well. When I use APM (works 100% in 2.4.22) the kernel refuses to suspend when I shut the lid, and once I'd configured ACPI (I thought) I could get it to sleep, but not to wake again -- I had to take the battery out to reboot. So much for 2.6 on my laptop, anyone got any ideas?
Hopefully I'll be able to get a new DevHelp release out soonish, which actually builds against GNOME 2.6. Then I need to fix libgnomecups which isn't showing some jobs for me. And at some point, I'll get around to fixing Sound Juicer, and finishing the CD writing patch for Rhythmbox...
