pygiI want someone familiar with autotools to gimme a hand :) anyone raises hand?12:07
mjg59Trying to set the ondemand governor will fail12:07
mjg59So powernowd will start instead12:07
mdzoh, I missed your powernowd upload12:07
mdzI had partially implemented the same thing locally12:08
mdzbut was unable to test it12:08
mjg59Ditto, but I'm pretty happy about how the code works12:08
mdzthanks for doing that12:08
mjg59You get EINVAL back if you try to set ondemand and it doesn't like the system12:08
tsengis the init scripts status not being printed to be blamed on usplash or upstart?12:08
mjg59tseng: usplash will now not print anything unless you remove the quiet argument12:09
mjg59Which is consistent with the upstart behaviour12:09
tsengmjg59: ah, cool12:09
tsengwas out of town all week, I seem to have missed all the fun12:09
mjg59So, other than a couple of regressions in suspend, I'm pretty happy with how edgy looks for laptops12:10
=== Arbiter [n=arbiter@unaffiliated/arbiter] has joined #ubuntu-devel
tsengmjg59: regressions related to screen blanking, perhaps?12:10
tsengmine are back, need to work on it this weekend12:10
mjg59tseng: Yeah, possibly12:11
=== pygi spams the channel once again with need for autotools expert
cbx33right I'm off to sleep so I can start artworking early tomorrow....ogra if you have any comments on that manga piece, we were planning to use that for youg persons theme.....please email to either me or lisa......;)12:14
ogracbx33, ok12:14
cbx33as I know you had a few issues with it...12:15
cbx33some suggestions on changes would be great12:15
Burgworkmjg59, do you ever feel like your fighting a contant uphill battle?12:15
mjg59Burgwork: Nah12:15
mjg59Though tracing suspend regressions in the kernel is a bit of a pain12:16
mjg59Other than that, I think we're heading forwards pretty quickly12:16

tormodseb128, trial and error I guess03:18
seb128tormod: that doesn't mean it has to be03:18
seb128tormod: either a policy or reference says it has, or the apps should handled it being utf-8 just fine03:18
tormodseb128, how would the app know it is utf-8?03:19

tormodseb128, :) Is there no standard for non-ascii in gnome?03:20
seb128utf-8 is the standard03:21
seb128not only for GNOME03:21
tsengseb128: (are we going to really leave apport on for release?)03:21

tsengi have been trying to kill banshee for 20 minutes, literally03:21
tsengI cant03:21
seb128tseng: when a software has bugs they got fixed instead of removing the software03:21
seb128I think pitti is doing a decent job on apport03:22
seb128your request is not fair to him03:22
seb128let him know your issues and give him a chance to fix them03:22
leoleinHello, Is there any people who speak german?03:22
tormodleolein, ubuntu-de03:23
tsengseb128: i didnt request anything, its just a very large overhead added, atm I cant seem to even kill it at all. I will wait for pitti03:23
tormodseb128, then the problem is that iwlist returns iso-8859-1 instead of utf-803:24
seb128the only complain I've about apport it's the few seconds of slowdown when it creates the dump03:24
tsengthis is not a few seconds at all03:24
seb128tormod: I would think that too03:24
seb128tseng: depending of the box and the software probably03:24
tsengkilling apport can also make your kernel panic03:25
tsengthis is an extreme case, but its been 20 minutes03:25
tsengI can't kill the app03:25
seb128weird03:25
jdongtseng: I feel your pain... apport usually locks up my mouse for a few seconds when it makes its report03:25
tsengthe few seconds is kind of annoying, but not the kind of thing I would complain about03:26
leoleintormod: I know. But I have a question to anyone who build pakets for ubuntu. Exemple, if there is someone who build pakets from the Gimp 2.3 Releases.03:26
seb128leolein: not at the moment, we are going to use 2.2.n for edgy03:26

tormodseb128, in the end what counts: the user types the same character in his wifi router configuration (through a web browser most of the time) and in network-admin. There is a long chain between... iso-8859-1 in the interfaces file works.03:38

HiddenWolfseb128: system > administration > keying manager04:12
seb128HiddenWolf: does it ask for a password?04:12
seb128it does here04:12
seb128doesn't04:12
HiddenWolfit does, if you haven't provided that password earlier in the session04:13
HiddenWolfIE, if you haven't emailed using evo04:13
seb128why should it close if you refuse it the access to the keyring?04:13
seb128evo doesn't close if you refuse it access to the keyring04:13
seb128neither do nautilus04:13
HiddenWolfno.04:13
HiddenWolfbut if you cancel gksudo it goes away, and doesn't leave a non-functional program on your screen. if you cancel the password prompt for gnome-keying, you are left with an empty window on your desktop04:14
Treenaksseb128: nautilus just keeps asking lots of times if you refuse access04:15
Treenaksor it did, last time I refused04:15
seb128HiddenWolf: the point is that we are not using gksudo there04:15
seb128HiddenWolf: and it does that because you can't use the admin tools without sudo04:15
HiddenWolfI know, but the behavior is inconsistent with other programs from the menu04:15
seb128HiddenWolf: you can use that program without keyring04:16
HiddenWolfseb128: i'm not talking about using evo without keying04:16
seb128it's consistant with how the program work04:16
HiddenWolfi'm talking about launching keyring and not tying the password04:16
HiddenWolfthat leaves a greyed-out keying on the desktop04:16
seb128and?04:16
seb128why should it close?04:16
seb128it's usuable without it04:16
HiddenWolfit's odd and inconsistent.04:17
seb128would you reply to my question?04:17
seb128why should we close a program than can work?04:17
seb128just to be consistant with admin programs that can't work without sudo?04:17
seb128that doesn't seem to be a solid argument to me04:17
seb128and the keyring password dialog doesn't look like a gksu screenfading one04:18
seb128so it's not that inconsistant04:18
HiddenWolfseb128: ah, i see, there is some stuff that you can do, but there is no option to open the keying still, which is odd. An empty window is odd too.04:19
HiddenWolfseb128: it just confused the hell out of me.04:19
seb128k04:20
seb128I'm closing the bug, that's not one ;)04:20
HiddenWolffine. I'll file some upstream about oddness later on.04:20
HiddenWolfI do feel that deny should be cancel tho, in the other bug.04:20
seb128right04:21
HiddenWolfIt's cancel everywhere else.04:21
seb128though "deny" makes sense04:21
HiddenWolfit's inconsistent.04:21
seb128the GNOME HIG recommends to set explicit actions on buttons when possible04:21
seb128like no OK, Cancel for everything04:21
seb128"Deny" make sense in that context04:22
Treenaksso the other buttons are strange?04:22
seb128which one?04:22
Treenaks16:21 <  HiddenWolf> It's cancel everywhere else.04:22
HiddenWolfArguably, but cancel makes sense too, since you're cancelling your action, changing your mind.04:22
seb128you didn't do an action04:22
TreenaksHiddenWolf: yes, but that's not really what you're doing.. you're denying.. it's more specific04:22
seb128you start an app04:22
HiddenWolfyou're not thinking "hey, i don't need to type my password, so lets deny that request, and go make a new keyring"04:22
seb128the action is starting the app04:23
seb128then the app ask for permission granting04:23
seb128you accept or deny that request04:23
seb128you don't cancel your action of start the app04:23

seb128I've a rationnal04:25
seb128you are not going to convince anybody by disagreeing without argumenting04:25
seb128that would be rather upstream talk ;)04:25

bluefoxicy12.1 Termination. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate:08:35
bluefoxicy"(c) automatically without notice from Apple if You, at any time during the term of this License, commence an action for patent infringement against Apple; provided that Apple did not first commence an action for patent infringement against You in that instance."08:35
bluefoxicyi.e. if you sue them over patents in the code and they're not already suing you over patents in something, you can't use the code anymore :D08:36
bluefoxicywhich is rather benevolent if you think about it; they're covering their ass saying you can't sue them, but they're leaving themselves open in the case where they're the aggressor, creating the good faith that they won't initiate such hostilities.08:37

jdongOOo does a pretty good job of handling abw, while abiword is really portable (i.e. doesn't take much to put it on a USB stick)10:29
jdongso I try to use abiword whenever possible10:29
jdongI've encountered Windows boxes that choke on portable OOo before10:29
jdongnot to mention it takes up way too much of my thumb drive10:29
Treenakschoking on OOo is not hard10:29
=== jdong is unfortunately blessed with using windows boxes
Treenaksimho the OOo devs need an 'Xorg-like' kick in the nuts10:29
jdongooo is one huge beast10:29
pygijdong, heh :)10:29
DeeahYou can get a 2 gig thumb drive on newegg.com for $42 iirc10:30
Treenaksjdong: exactly, as X used to be10:30
jdongDeeah: size is not the only issue...10:30
jdongspeed is the other one10:30
Treenaksjdong: one good kick (license change) fixed that10:30
Treenaksit's still not as good as we'd like it to be10:30
jdongI'm not waiting 2 minutes for a simple text document to load up :)10:30
Treenaksbut it's been split into manageable chunks10:30
jdongwell, it's still a big beast, as big as before :)10:30
jdongand don't get me started java bashing10:31
Treenaksjdong: it's now a chunked beast, with several people, al taming different parts of it10:31
jdongfrankly GCJ has not been the most helpful thing in terms of speed :P10:31
Treenaksjdong: instead of one stagnant team trying to fix everything10:31
DeeahWell Sun promised to open source java in October10:31
jdongfreedom, yay, awesome... but speed... no10:31
DeeahOctober is in 3 weeks10:31
jdongDeeah: do you honestly think us Debian/Ubuntu folk are gonna be ok with whatever license sun stamps on it ;)10:31
=== jdong very pessimistic today
=== Treenaks gives jdong some happy pills
Deeahjdong: Well they went out of their way to talk with Debian etc, and they seem to want to cuddle some developers10:32
jdongTreenaks: it's called vicodin 12.5/750, and I'm already taking them for my aching joints :)10:32
DeeahSo I wouldn't be suprised if it's a dfsg compatible license10:32
jdongDeeah: let's hope so10:32
Treenaksjdong: 12.5/750? that sounds like my first modem (1200/75) :P10:32
jdongtrappist: 12.5mg of narcotic goodness, 750mg of tylenol to burn out your liver10:33

Treenaksjdong: you 2 conspired to do this, didn't you? :P10:37
jdongoh great, the prefetch myths are starting again....10:37
=== jdong hates the other side of his life, as a windows admin
Treenaksjdong: prefetch or prelink?10:37
jdongwindows's prefetch10:37
Treenakswindows prefetches?10:37
jdongthat c:\windows\prefetch directory?10:37
Treenaksnever heard of it10:37
jdongpeople keep on believing it's a good idea to empty it out10:37
jdongTreenaks: it's actually amazingly good technology, if you take the time to research it10:38
jdongbasically it's like our readahead, only the lists are dynamically generated by monitoring application loading10:38
Treenaksok10:38
jdongeach file in the prefetch directory contains the files that are loaded when a program is started10:38
Treenaksand clearing that dir negates its effects..10:38
jdongsorted by location on disk10:38
Keybukhow do they avoid dynamically monitoring the previous prefetch? :p10:38
jdongso not only do files get preloaded, but it also reduces disk seeking10:39
Keybukwe actually have something like that10:39
jdongit's one of the reasons XP was faster than 200010:39
Keybukboot with the "profile" kernel command line option10:39

=== cr3 [n=marc@pdpc/supporter/bronze/cr3] has joined #ubuntu-devel
jdongKeybuk: our readahead doesn't dynamically reoptimize itself based on user activity10:40
jdongKeybuk: and our readahead doesn't look at disk layout to prevent seeking10:40
Keybukyes it does10:40
Keybuk(both)10:41
Keybukwe don't enable the former because it's damned slow on Linux to set up10:41
jdongk, that's cool to hear10:42
Keybukit's not been very helpful, tbh10:43
jdongI've noticed....10:43
jdongon one of my systems, turning off readahead actually helps boot time10:43
KeybukLinux is already pretty good at guessing when it needs to readahead things10:43
Keybukreminds me that we haven't generated readahead lists for edgy yet10:43
jdong:)10:44
jdonghey, my ranting got something accomplished!10:44
Keybukbut yeah, we have the stuff to watch the running system for files that are opened, and then sort them by disk position to read in the correct order, etc.10:44
Keybukit's just so slow to run that it's disabled unless you boot with "profile"10:44
