LaserJockajmitch: I had a zope question for you01:32
LaserJockajmitch: about schooltool and schoolbell01:32
LaserJockbut it seems they are sort of not in the best shape01:32
ajmitchI know01:33
ajmitchand Fujitsu explained it well for you01:33
LaserJockI was trying to fix something01:33
LaserJockand found out the newer versions were FTBFS because of zope deps01:34
LaserJockseems a shame for Main packages01:34
ajmitchwhich are there for a reason, since zope 3 isn't a completely stable API01:34
ajmitchit's a shame that we have shipped school* in previous releases, and they'll be broken in feisty01:37
LaserJockso we cease to be able to fix schooltool and schoolbell01:37
LaserJockwell, I'm not sure how broken they are, I just know we can't rebuild them01:37
ajmitchfairly broken, I heard01:38

FujitsuThat's the one I've got.03:32
crimsunhow does it fare on your hardware?03:32
FujitsuIf I rebuild it, won't I still need a new xrandr to do the magic?03:32
crimsunwell, the magic needs xorg-server to be recompiled with the newer xrandr support enabled03:33

nixternalI have just noticed this one pop up recently04:33
RAOFnixternal: You want to check out the DebianMaintainerField spec.04:33

RAOFBasically, you need to use an Ubuntu associated address for the maintainer field if you make changes.04:34

theCorefixed a bug in Compiz05:24
RAOFHuzzah.05:24
RAOFWant to fix compiz-extra FTBFS?  If not, I'll do it as soon as I get internet at home again :)05:25
theCorewell in fact, no. I fixed a bug in the `desktop-effect'05:25
RAOFWell, that's also good.05:25
RAOFThe "desktops on cube" button not working?05:25
theCoreyeah05:25
RAOFThus droping the desktop-effects bug count to 3, I think.05:26
RAOFOf which, at least a couple are wishlist.05:26
theCorebut ouch, my head hurt now. Coding in C is painful  05:26
RAOFWhy is desktop-effects coded in C?05:27
theCoreyes05:27
RAOFSurely you could *rewrite* it in Python in the same time it would take to fix a single bug?05:27
RAOFOwch.05:27
RAOFMaybe Gnome should have a "Configuration capplets may not be written in C" policy :)05:28
theCorelol, but I don't think a Python version would be really better or worth the effort  05:28
RAOFWell, no.05:28
theCorewell, it's Red Hat who wrote it05:28
RAOFBut it's such a trivial program.  Why would you even consider using C for something as simple?05:28
=== RAOF marvels at the strange attraction of C
theCorebecause it's fun?05:29
RAOF...until you try to fix the bugs in it? :P05:29

LaserJockone of my profs even does this new fangled Fortran90 stuff05:44
LaserJockbut we like the old school Fortran better ;-)05:45
RAOF:)05:45
LaserJocknow I tend to use python wrappers for the fortran and C stuff05:46
theCorewhat I hate of C is that it is hard to see the flow of the data05:46
=== robitaille [n=daniel@ubuntu/member/robitaille] has joined #ubuntu-motu
RAOFThat's because data doesn't flow in C.  Functions just touch it in strange and inappropriate ways :)05:47
theCoreI also hate all the side-effects of assignment05:47
FujitsuDad uses Fortran for a fair bit of stuff.... Mostly Fortran77, I think.05:47
theCoreeh, Fortran 05:47
theCoreat least, it isfast05:47
LaserJockyeah, I was just working on some numerical solutions to differential equations05:48

robitailleI work on large-scale climate models    http://www.cccma.ec.gc.ca/05:52
LaserJockohh, nifty05:52
FujitsuAha.05:52
robitailleit's all Fortran.  Mostly fortran 77...a bit  of fortran 9005:52
theCoreI wonder if Fortress will get popular in the scientific community ...05:53
FujitsuMeteorology is what my father does, though it's mostly processing of satellite data.05:53
theCoreit is Sun answer to Fortran, and it's GPLed!05:53
=== Mez [n=Mez@ubuntu/member/mez] has joined #ubuntu-motu
FujitsuSun does seem to be doing the whole GPL thing a lot lately.05:54

robitaillenever heard on Fortress.    We mostly work on IBM Aix supercomputers, and they provide are generally pretty good.05:54
theCoreJava, Solaris, Fortress ...05:54

theCoreSun is certainly not kidding with this language. Guy Steele Jr. is on it05:57
theCorerobitaille: you may want to look at the research page too : http://research.sun.com/projects/plrg/05:58
robitailletheCore:  the thing is...our main app have 100,000 lines of code, and some of it is decade old.  I don't see us ever switching away from Fortran.  Scientists are quite conservative :)05:59
theCore"Fortress `loops' are parallel by default" -- crazy!06:00
theCorerobitaille: yeah, I know. I think they are targeting people who builds new applications06:00
LaserJockrobitaille: I totally know what you mean06:00
LaserJockrobitaille: our data acquisition program is C and must be 10-15 years old06:01
LaserJockwe just keep modifying it as needed06:01
robitailleI always laugh when I see some code we use and  the earliest date in the comments go back to the early 1980s.06:03
theCorethe really crazy thing about Fortress is they use mathematical notation with Unicode for expressing programs  06:03
LaserJockrobitaille: wow, yours has comments?!? :-)06:04
theCore(lol)06:04
robitailleWell...the name of the first author, and a 3-4 words description.  We are generally pretty bad at comments.06:05
ajmitchback in LaserJock's day they didn't even have variables, let alone comments!06:05
LaserJockmine has probably a few thousand lines of code and basically no comments06:05
LaserJockevery time we get a new oscilloscope we have to rewrite it06:05

jdongtheCore: yeah, I'd say so06:48
jdongtheCore: I used rawhide the other day ,and desktop effects activated as advertised....06:48
jdongso it must be something about our Compiz's default config?06:48
theCoremaybe 06:49
jdongthanks for looking into that :)06:49
theCoreI could do the debian patch, but I am not sure if I fixed the bug "the right way" 06:50
theCoremy patch make desktop-effects changes the number of workspace to one when Compiz is enabled 06:51
jdongtheCore: you mean when cube is checked, right?06:51
theCoreno, also when it's unchecked06:52
jdongbut theCore , that's correct behavior IMO.... 1 desktop with 4-sided viewport.06:52

jdongtheCore: it sounds fine to me....06:52
theCorethe two conflicts06:52
jdongset /apps/compiz/general/screen0/options/hsize=4, right?06:53

Lathiatmmm hypercube06:57
jdongI set hsize=4 and ndesktops=1 and get a normal cube....06:57
jdongnot saying that a hypercube wouldn't be fascinating06:57
RAOFCan't you just set n_o_d to 1 and hsize to 4 when you select "cube" and change them back when unselecting cube?06:57
theCoreI got a cube per workspace06:57
jdongRAOF: no real need to set them back06:57
jdongtheCore: did you set ndesktops=106:57
RAOFIt's not really a hypercube.  There are only 4 of them :P06:57
theCoreyes06:58
RAOFjdong: But if you leave n_o_d at 1, doesn't it break the Gnome-panel desktop switcher applet thingy?06:58

jdongRAOF: it works just fine even when cube is off06:58
=== theCore crank up the number of workspace

jdongI set n_o_d=406:59
jdongand got that hypercube effect06:59
theCorehehe06:59
jdonggeez that's weird06:59
FujitsuWhat's the hypercube?07:00
jdongFujitsu: each workspace is a cube07:00
theCoreAHH, my system is breaking apart ....07:00
jdongFujitsu: so you get 4 desktops of 4 cubes each07:00
jdongFujitsu: very confusing to use, in other words :)07:00

[StingRay] Hi all, dappers gs-esp is broken. I made a source install of 8.54-gpl and now all is fine. I want to make a deb package out of the source with pbuilder. I have it installed. I have a question: In the howto it says - sudo pbuilder build *.dsc Where do I get the dsc from (apt-get source gs-esp???)09:38
[StingRay] I am willing to help others too by building this package.09:38
Lutin[StingRay] : what's borken in this package ?09:39
Lutinbroken*09:39
[StingRay] Lutin, fonts...and some printer problems with Konika Minolta 1400W09:40
[StingRay] If I print Courier New (from wine) I get half characters...09:40
[StingRay] I used a 7.07 deb file but I makes other problems...09:40
[StingRay] I built 8.54 gpl from source and now all is just fine09:40
Lutin[StingRay] : does the edgy version work fine ?09:41
[StingRay] I had visual defects on OO and Micorosft office09:41
[StingRay] as for the fonts yes...but cannot tell if the visual problems with OO and the printing problems with KM1400W are there (did not test...)09:42
Lutinok :/. because I highly doubt that putting a new version in dapper is possible. i'm no muto though09:43
Lutinmotu*09:43
[StingRay] Can you help me in my builiding problem... :/09:43
[StingRay] I am too new09:43
[StingRay] I don't want to build this from source on all my future machines...09:44
=== spacey [n=herman@ubuntu/member/spacey] has joined #ubuntu-motu
Lutinyou can apt-get source it, replace the sources, add a nentry in the changelog and then run debuild -S -sa09:46
Lutinand then you'll be able to run pbuilder :)09:48
[StingRay] So I replace the original gs-esp 8.15.2...tar.gz with gs-esp 8.54....tar.gz. Then I place the gs-esp 8.15.2 in the same dir and start "debuild -S -sa", right? (Should I tar my compilation directory, where the makefile is???)09:48
[StingRay] Sorry for my newbiesh knowledge09:49
[StingRay] gs-esp 8.15.2....dsc I meant09:49
Lutinbasically, you have to replace the odl tar by the new one, replace the old sources by the new ones09:49
Lutinrename the source folder to match the new source version09:50
Lutinand add in entry in debian/changelog to match that version change; then go in the source folder and run debuild ;)09:51
[StingRay] I will start right now09:51

=== herzi [n=herzi@p548FC1FA.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu
[StingRay] Lutin, I edited the /8.15.2/debian/changelog. Now I have to do this, right (please check it, I am afraid I will break something): 1# tar xvzpf 8.54-gpl...tar.gz ; 2#mv 8.15.2/ 8.54/ ; 3# cp 8.54-gpl../ 8.54/ -r ; 4#cd 8.54 ; 5#debuild -S -sa ;6#??? (sudo pbuilder build *.dsc). 10:02
Lutinnot sure I understand everything, so here's what I think you need to do: 1# mv 8.15.2 8.54; 2# del all the source files in this folder and replace with your new version sources; 3# remove the previous orig tarball and replace it by a tarball source that you name gs-esp_8.54.orig.tar.gz; 4# go in the source folder and run debuild; 5# run pbuilder10:05
Lutinwell, gotta leave. see you later :)10:09
[StingRay] you mean delete everything, but the debian/ folder10:09
[StingRay] Lutin, bye , thanks for the help10:10
Lutin[StingRay] : debian/ is not 'sources files' ;)10:10
Lutinand indeed, you have to keep it otherwise there's not point in trying to build a package :)10:10
Lutinsee you10:10

LaserJockfootball more accuratly describes soccer09:12
imbrandonfootball in EU is nothing more than a bad translation09:12
LaserJockbut what would we call football then?09:12
ajmitchno idea, it hardly rates as 'foot'ball09:13
tsmitheimbrandon, how is it a "bad translation"?09:14
tsmitheas i said, we invented the term, as being the purveyors of original english09:14
tsmithe"we" being the british09:14
imbrandontsmithe, when there is a word for your game called soccer and you translate it to football that means omething else09:14
imbrandonthus a bad translation09:14
tsmithewhen was it translated? a translation implies changing from one language to another...09:15
imbrandonyes , thus a en_UK and en_US translations ;)09:15
zulanyways..09:15
imbrandonthat is one lang to another, even though we have much in common they are diffrent09:15
imbrandonotherwise there wouldent be uk and us translations09:16
imbrandon;)09:16
imbrandoncolor / colour , etc09:16
imbrandon;)09:16
tsmitheahh - i thought you meant within english09:16
tsmithebritish english, that is09:16
tsmithebut we use the term "football" more than "soccer". people frown at you if you use the word "soccer"09:17
imbrandonsee and there they mean the same thing, here they do not09:17
tsmithethere was no translation on the british behalf :P09:17
tsmitheamericans just stole the word ;)09:17
imbrandoninfact soccer is just a childs game here09:17
imbrandonso no one even talks about it much at all 09:18
tsmithemaybe so... but it's still misleading when the term "football" is used on irc09:18
=== tsmithe wishes usa actually had a different language. america's nothing like britain (and not in a bad way, either)
imbrandonnot any more misleading than when i type color ;) your expecting me to speak UK english because its similar but thats not the case ;)09:19
tsmitheno - cos the word is similar enough and has the same meaning09:19
tsmitheit's when we have a similar word, or in this case identical, that has a completely different definition09:20
imbrandonright , but there is no color in UK but its acepted because you know i'm speaking us english, thus the same with football since it has two meanings09:20
tsmithei believe the term is "homonym"09:20
imbrandonhehe anyhow its all pointless09:21
imbrandon;)09:21
tsmithestill confuses me, personally, at least, way more than "color". the word is too similar and too different :P09:21

LaserJockmy laptop has a ATI 7000 IGP10:32
jdonghttp://www.newegg.com/ProductSort/SubCategory.asp?SubCategory=32&name=Notebooks-Laptops10:32
LaserJockmaybe that was it10:32
jdonghit Advanced Search on the left10:33
jdongdrop down GPU/VPU10:33
jdongand that shows a good distribution of the vid card selection Newegg offers10:33
jdongGMA's are the most common10:33
imbrandonjdong, nice try, the majority of people dont but from there, you want majority hit the real stores where mom and pop shop10:33
imbrandonbuy*10:33
jdongimbrandon: when I went laptop shopping 4 months ago ATI was definitely more prominent than nvidia on laptops.10:34
LaserJockmom and pop probably get a lot of integrated graphics10:34
jdongLaserJock: yeah.10:34
jdongLaserJock: GMA950 on the Intel side, X200m on the AMD side.10:34
\shwell, to be honest...nvidia is more in gamers laptops...like dell xpc series10:34
imbrandonmaybe only if you were set on getting an amd, you dident look overall, intel is by far more prominate , because intel chips are in 99% of those sold by the major chains actualy on the shelves10:34
jdong\sh: I don't argue with that.10:35
=== jekil [n=alessand@87.4.235.220] has joined #ubuntu-motu
\shamd is more in business laptops or soho laptops like toshiba satellite a100 (dual core intel with x1400 ati)10:35
imbrandonexactly10:35
jdongimbrandon: I don't know about sales, but at Best Buy the selections of AMD/Intel is split halfway almost10:35
imbrandonnope, not at most stores, stop looking online and walk into one10:36
jdongimbrandon: I did look in the store.10:36
imbrandonthats like saying they have alot of other mp3 players than the ipod, they do online but not in the store10:36
jdong*sigh*, ok, ATI does not exist, fglrx is not used by mroe than 0.05% of the Ubuntu users10:37
jdongyou're right10:37
LaserJocklol10:37
jdongI was thinking of LSD and cocaine.10:37
imbrandonmy point is, if you are shopping as a geek for certain specs then yes you will run accross ati more, if you are every day joe intell chips and graphics are by far far far outnumber the others10:37
LaserJockthere is a significant amount of ATI users10:37
jdongLaserJock: only geeks buy ATI's.10:37
LaserJockimbrandon: I really have to disagree10:37
jdongLaserJock: walmart does not carry ATI's10:37
jdongLaserJock: hence nobody carries ATI's.10:37
LaserJockDell ships a lot of ATI10:38
LaserJocka lot of laptops have ATI10:38
jdongLaserJock: but dell does not exist. it's not walmart.10:38
jdongLaserJock: and also, Dell only sells 1% AMD's, so it's irrelevant.10:38
=== ajmitch wishes compiz didn't suck & have numerous bugs
imbrandonjdong, you are lucky you are not within 50 miles of me i would fucking kick you square in the smart ass balls10:38
LaserJockwell, I've seen lots of Dell intel machines with ATI graphics10:39
jdongwho spit in his ATI hypertransport bus?10:39
jdongracial profiling. LaserJock disagred with him too, and he goes after me10:39
\shjdong, this morning I just read a dell advertisment and 2 of three laptops have ati on board...and the other one it was a cheap nvidia with 128MB10:40
LaserJockjdong: that's not needed10:40
jdong\sh: yeah, the cheap radeon xpresses are too popular for our good10:40
jdong\sh: the fact of the matter is, on Windows, they are the best performing integrated chipset....10:40
\shjdong, yes, but the drivers of ati/amd are, sorry to say, crap and should go to hell...10:41
jdong\sh: totally agreed.10:41
jdong\sh: but that doesn't mean we should neglect our users who happen to have these ATI chipsets.10:41
jdongthe fact of the matter is, it's perfectly possible to set up an Xgl+fglrx based compiz desktop that performs just as smoothly/reliably as an AIGLX+GMA950 one.10:42
LaserJockanyway ...10:42
LaserJockI seriously doubt they are intentially ignoring the UVF jdong 10:42
jdongLaserJock: after two weeks of poking, I got one ACK....10:43
\shjdong, tbh if amd would put some pressure on it, they would have better drivers...and regarding xgl + beryl / compiz...my a100 is crashing 95% of the time after 5 minutes wobblling and scaling  10:43
LaserJockjdong: that's not horrible10:43
jdong\sh: really?10:44
jdongLaserJock: by the time I get the second it's gonna be some critical freeze date10:44
jdongand it's all over10:44
jdongtime for everyone to roll out checkinstalled random debs.10:44
\shjdong, and the same happens with aixgl and i915 or old ati legacy drivers with xgl and latest beryl svn10:44

jdongand as soon as feisty+1 opens, they're going to change X packagin, and boom... no backport either.10:44
jdongyay me.10:44
jdong\sh: well I'm not sure about what's happening in your case... but I've had stable Xgl+fglrx+compiz since Dapper days10:45
LaserJockwell, as far as I know there isn't a critical freeze date for this10:45
jdong\sh: right now on Feisty I can reliably suspend and resume over the course of 10 days10:45
LaserJockthey will get to it when they get to it10:45
jdongand xgl/compiz works.10:45
jdongLaserJock: release is like 4 weeks away.10:45
ajmitchmaybe the constant nagging chased people off10:45
LaserJockjdong: so you have probably 3 weeks10:45
jdongajmitch: so now you're saying if I looked away from it, magically all the motu-uvf's would have been more likely to handle it??10:46
ajmitchjdong: I'm saying that I was awfully tempted to ignore the bug10:46
ajmitchbut I thought that wouldn't be fair10:46
=== \sh can't +1 the package, because I don't have a fcking clue about X/xgl/aixgl in general...I'm just a plain user of it
jdongajmitch: so if I said nothing, you would've been more willing to look at it?10:46
jdongajmitch: ^^ that's the reaction I've gotten from most of the others.10:47
ajmitchas long as you'd assigned it to motu-uvf10:47
\shI would like to see our xorg maintainer to have a look with a qualified report 10:47
ajmitchsince subscribed bugs are on another page in LP10:47
theCoreI wonder if the upgrade from edgy/dapper to feisty will be smooth... 10:47
theCorethere seems an awful number of people using things like Automatix and cie10:48
jdongtheCore: my upgrade took 3 dist-upgrade cycles to do10:48
\shtheCore, as always...dapper -> edgy -> feisty, or dapper -> next LTS release10:48
jdongand theCore, recent automatix release (i.e. within Edgy time) don't do anything to bork an upgrade10:48
ajmitch\sh: xgl has never really been touched much by the X maintainers in ubuntu10:48
ajmitch\sh: it was originally packaged by mjg59, last touched by me to fix some bugs10:48
jdongtheCore: at least I've hit every single button in Automatix and Automatix2 on a test VM and it upgraded to feisty roughly the same.10:48
theCorejdong: hopefully, it will be the same for all users10:49
jdongtheCore: I hope so too.10:49
\shtheCore, this morning edgy to feisty on my t43..without any problems. yesterday on my toshiba r200 -> edgy to feisty: linux-restricted wasn't updated 10:50
jdongon my initial upgrade of my laptop, I had dpkg exit with a non-zero exit code10:50
jdongbut a re-run of dist-upgrade went smoothly.10:50
theCorepersonally, I had a lot of problems with the upgrade10:51
theCorebut I think these problem have been fixed10:51
jdongare UVFe's required for kernel components?10:51
jdongI'd love to ignore bug 82680 too but frankly I don't think it'd be fixed.10:51
UbugtuMalone bug 82680 in linux-source-2.6.20 "[feisty]  regression: ti mmc card reader not working (worked flawlessly in edgy)" [Medium,Confirmed]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/8268010:51
theCorejdong: not before the Kernel Freeze, I think10:52
=== jdong checks kernel freeze date
theCoreApril 5th10:53
jdongapril 5th...10:53
jdongok, I'm going to leave it alone10:53
jdongand magically it will be fixed by that time.10:53
\shwell, I'm glad that the nozomi drivers are in 2.6.20-9 ,)10:53

LaserJockI just feel like we keep revising it every week11:13
ajmitchuntil it works..11:13
LaserJockI think uploading directly to -updates while keeping -proposed for risky or high-profile uploads would be good11:14
LaserJockthere are so many trivial fixes that it's rediculous to have them sitting there forever11:14
rmjbform an official testing team11:14
LaserJockhah11:14
LaserJockwe need more teams for sure :-)11:15
joejaxxdoes bzr support acl?11:15
LaserJockin what way?11:15
joejaxxthings like: set who can view the code, commit changes11:16
LaserJockjoejaxx: well, chmod the dir11:16
jdongjoejaxx: if you use bzr+ssh:// or sftp:// transport and the underlying FS supports ACLs, and the admin set ACL's, then sure...11:18
jdongjoejaxx: for committing bzr goes by the permissions system established by the underlying filesystem11:18
jdongjoejaxx: for public http branching the situation is a bit different.... .htaccess kind of procedures may be used11:18
joejaxxah ok :)11:19
joejaxxi was hoping that was the case11:19
\shjdong, no change...compiz doesn't work and with beryl emerald I don't see any text when I type11:22
