You said he mostly works alone. That's something different than amount of code. "Work alone" implies amount of people, not amount of code. Obviously he started systemd and works full time on it. Then loads of other people work on it as well

Explicitly not support other desktops? That's wrong, systemd is supported by various desktops. In any case systemd is different level, a desktop should add support, not the other way around. Obviously best if a systemd developer helps out w

Seems you're just confusing things. Why do you suggest systemd is monolitic. What is the problem actually? There are various independant parts. E.g. the logind bit is now used by Canonical on upstart. Seems your issue is some theoretical pr

Could be be more concrete what service is failing? Systemd for me always gives really good output on why things aren't working.

You're confusing existing knowledge you already have with how easy another system is. Obviously if you already know one system, the other system will seem more difficult. I have had my fair share of daemons not starting due to various probl

A ban is not drastic at all. GNOME Bugzilla is for bugreports. There is no freedom of speech. If someone mostly contributes noise, does not want to listen, he's asked multiple times to please change his attitude, still continues, then the p

Red Hat doesn't run GNOME, though lately they've been hiring people for GNOME like crazy. The last time some GNOME contributor disagreed with one of my decisions, I make him a GNOME bugzilla admin. Any of the 4 admins are totally free to un

I meant Christian Perch, the other story about GNOME Bugzilla. I'm not a developer. I didn't go after Felipe.

I have invited people to conferences before. They never show up. I behave the same in real life as on Internet. I'll say it again: Go to FOSDEM, go to the GNOME stand. I'll be near the stand most of the afternoon. Pretty nice to judge peopl

FWIW, I totally agree that just a "No." is bad, entirely understand what it resulted in. However, going after a developer in a bugreport is not tolerable behaviour as well.

by bkor 13y ago
There are clear rules on how to behave. You say it was fine, but you only judge on his version of his behaviour. He went on and on and on, various bugreports, various personal emails, etc. Eventually enough is enough. I see that you are now

s/Olaf/Olav/g Pretty easy: "please stop". Person does not. Then ok, bye from me. And yeah, I'm the one you're talking about. And Felipe got banned by one of his best friends on Google+. Apparently really good friend in reality, terrible on

So you felt entitled to publish the personal emails you had with him?
916.
by bkor 13y ago
Agree it was too blunt and not appropriate. The cause was that he was upset after various bugreports and private emails accusing him of all sorts of things. At one point it'll get to you.

The article is not about the kernel, but about delivering something people can use and expect that it works. So not just a kernel itself. Fairly common to call that Linux, even if technically it is just the kernel (and IMO GNU/Linux is "urg

Are you sure it is PulseAudio? In case of multiple outputs (headphones, speakers), PulseAudio can change volumes of them based on data from ALSA. Intention is that volume stays the same, except if the data from ALSA is wrong. Even with one

If there are multiple options, how would QA ensure that these options aren't buggy? I mean the QA in either something like GNOME, a small project, or a distribution. Just combine the different amount of sound systems (seems to be popular in

Linux is not about choice. Choice just introduces additional complexities, makes it more difficult to test and additional layers is additional bugs. You seem to suggest that introducing choice would make things less buggy. Care to explain h

Read the title of the article. GNOME relies on PulseAudio. If thinks break when you break a desktop environments expectations, it should not be surprising.

You have that with any topic. If you want to be credible, investigate which percentage of people have problems. That is an interesting statistic. Compare to this: You want to buy a new laptop. You'll see various complaints. Maybe even the s

This just works if you use PulseAudio. OSS and ALSA applications are routed through PulseAudio.

KDE has Phonon. KDE doesn't have sound drivers, but it should have a mixer, it does have Phonon, etc.

Skype works out of the box with PulseAudio. No setup or settings required.

ConsoleKit at least is deprecated. For the others, not sure if why you'd expect man files for them. They're just services, not something you'd run manually. If you make your intent clear, file a bug on it.

Your takeaway should be that the speaker is very confused and got a lot of things totally wrong. The presentation is not about PulseAudio, it is about various stacks. The amount of things he states that are just wrong is unbelievable. Lenna

You should investigate how much Red Hat contributes all over Linux. Server side, but also loads of components used by various desktops. Not knowing about the huge contributions makes it overdue to investigate.

PulseAudio works perfectly fine for me. It did have issues in the beginning, but for many years I didn't have a problem. You said elsewhere that you had issues, but that you still have issues I can see. Others, could be, no idea. But I don'
