  Back to a normal desktop

I got back removable media (Bug 616198) and plugging an USB keyboard no longer crashes gnome-settings-daemon (Bug 617643).

And with gthumb usable again (Bugs 610198, 610419, 593431 and others, thanks for the great work!) and now seeing my removable media (see first bug listed in this post :) ), I will be able to resume triaging and uploading my photos.

  New photos

Following this post I uploaded plenty of photos.

First set was uploaded the day they where taken. With boklm, we went on Saturday to visit an abandoned building near my train station that I had noticed for the first time last week.

It is a former train station, built at Champ de Mars in 1878 for Paris world fair. It was then moved to Bois-Colombes in 1897 and was given various uses by French railways (SNCF) since (train station from 1924 to 1936, storage area, leisure center).

In 1985, while it was expected to be demolished, it became a protected historical building, but is abandoned since and partially destroyed.

I also finished uploading my London marathon photos!

Now I have to finish uploading Burkina Faso photos from February but there are still a lot of them...

As you can see libcaca is missing rotated versions of K 1 2 5 7. Help on finding proper characters welcome :)
