gnomefreakAmaranth: awww its so ummmmmm there ;)03:52
gnomefreaki have to becareful what i say about it since i work on mozilla for ubuntu :(03:53
Amaranthheh03:54
elkbuntuthat says all it needs to03:54
Amaranthwell it's almost certainly nvidia's fault in the end03:54
Amaranthbut gecko is the main reason my GPU flips out and gets so warm my CPU fan speeds up to cool the system down03:55
Amaranthand the main/only cause of X lockups while using compiz with nvidia03:55
gnomefreakyep that would be geckos fault03:55
gnomefreakalthough running compiz could be the main issue03:55
gnomefreaksince we know all the effects packages love to use cpu03:56
Amaranththere is little to no CPU usage when this occurs03:56
gnomefreakoh03:57
Amaranthunless you have AIGLX enabled in which case XCopyArea is unaccelerated and Gecko abuses the hell out of that03:57
gnomefreakah03:57
Amaranthbut with nvidia you can disable AIGLX in the server and still use compiz03:57
ompaulLjL, tell then all at 8pm UTC it is closing03:58
ompaul(they should all have gone somewhere at that stage03:58
gnomefreakompaul: what is?03:58
ompaul -party03:58
AmaranthBut I think Gecko's abuse of XCopyArea might be the cause of both problems03:58
ompauljust an idea03:58
LjLok03:58
gnomefreakah03:58
AmaranthGecko is beating on the GPU at the same time compiz is trying to toss gecko's output into a texture03:58
Amaranthand I imagine the rapid context switching is bound to trip up the driver randomly03:59
AmaranthI'm hoping cairo-backed Gecko 1.9 will make this less sucky03:59
LjLompaul: i'll leave the time unspecified for now, until seveas ping replies, and maybe tony comes, since he's got 30 in there04:00
gnomefreaki think they implemented that in trunk and i have a build of fx 2.0.0.3 with that impemented (we had patch for it but the patch is no good because they added it in04:01
gnomefreakyou should see this in gutsy04:01
=== gnomefreak awaits toolchain for gutsy

naliothLjL: i only know of cygwin (i've used it and recommend it)05:13

elkbuntuthey have like a sponsor company now too, so it's going to be even more fun05:40
PriceChildbut he doesn't "offer" source which is a violation isn't it?05:40
LjLPriceChild: yeah. of course, the *author* can violate his own license as long as he likes (but is arnieboy the original author anyway?)05:40
LjLthe problem is that *you and me* can't redistribute it under the GPL05:41
elkbuntuLjL, yes, unfortunately05:41
LjLso, in practice, no license05:41
PriceChildthere's several people on it, someone else has taken over afaik05:41
PriceChildhmm there's just the one python file i can't find source for in there... one out of countless :( I vote we leave the "closed source" bit in until he "offers" source in accordance with the gpl05:42
LjLexcept, of course, that if it includes one single thing that is by someone else and is under the GPL, that someone else could sue. hope they do. :P05:42
LjLi vote we remove the caps. they're annoying, and anyway we don't really want to *stress* that on people - people will end up thinking that we don't like it *just* because it's closed source, and install it anyway (since they don't care, as they use it for installing *more* closed source stuff)05:43

ubotuAutomatix2 is a CLOSED SOURCE script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use.

ompaulohhhhhhhhhhh05:47

LjLompaul: no, bytecode compiled is not a script05:47

LjLsince they're not browsable >:05:48

elkbuntuompaul, you're the best! ;)05:49
LjLompaul, well, they can do it legally (as long as they don't include *other people's* code), i think05:49
LjLompaul: it just becomes a "fake" license. we can't respect it, so we don't have it in practice05:50
LjLcan't swear they actually don't include other people's code, though, for sure - actually, last time i browsed through it, it looked a bit like they did05:50

I have been using gnu/linux for several years; decent moderation is somewhat lacking in mainstream "irc", more so in gnu/linux channels. And quite frankly while i12:23
