[09:37] shirish: breakage can often mean a non-functioning system. gutsy is very early in the development cycle [09:37] johnnybuoy: sorry, but that's the reason why I put in the gutsy forum, so some of the experts can diagnoze stuff [09:37] lamalex: true [09:38] whats the package for quicktime [09:38] okay, I'm cool, you do whatever you want... [09:38] if you really want to play with gutsy, give it like, 5-10gb of your hard drive [09:38] magic_ninja, libquicktime? [09:38] and put feisty on the rest [09:38] yeah [09:38] that way you have a functioning system and a fun development play toy [09:38] lamalex: actually, put 2 partitions, one for / & one for /home 80 GB in between them === LinAsH [n=missmagu@89.241.212.20] has joined #ubuntu+1 === Subhuman [n=jack@host86-144-223-188.range86-144.btcentralplus.com] has joined #ubuntu+1 [09:39] shirish: i don't care how you do it ;) [09:39] lamalex: It's ok even if there is no functioning system sometimes as far as I can learn something from it. [09:39] lamalex: yup, I know sorry [09:39] haha =P [09:40] the way I look at it, unless I don't get into probs I wouldn't come to know stuff, even though they might not mean so much at this point in time [09:40] but still doing stuff, one does learn & there is no 2 ways about it. [09:41] no i absolutely agree [09:41] but to most people a working computer is also needed === DanaG dislikes the name "Compiz Fusion". [09:41] I mean, comp is for compositing, but what is "iz"? [09:41] comPIZZ [09:41] i like coryl [09:41] COMP-iz. [09:42] coryl@LOL [09:42] compositing iz fusion? [09:42] compiz-fun ;) [09:42] lamalex: that is also true, once I figure out a good guide how to do so i have 2 different /, / & 2 different /home, home & be able to distinguish between them, I would do that. [09:43] one for feisty & one for gutsy each dunno which is the right place for that though. [09:43] guys can you please stay on topic [09:44] shirish, you only have 1 / at a time [09:44] DanaG: i figure its like trapeeze: magical acrobatics of graphics [09:45] so is there a place that documents how gnome power manager is supposed to work? [09:45] no [09:45] don't even try [09:45] lamalex: of course, what I meant was a way that GRUB can know I have 4 partiitions, & associating one with feisty & one with gutsy so I can boot how I want [09:45] what is the question? [09:46] pwnguin, ^ [09:46] shirish, that's done automatically [09:46] johnnybuoy: the question is how to profile the battery [09:46] profile? [09:46] explain that? [09:46] since policy actions are disabled until it's been profiled according to the tooltip [09:47] johnnybuoy: thats exactly my question :P [09:47] ah! [09:47] pwnguin, okay, i got it [09:47] lamalex: ok will try to post this in the forum, the proper way to do it, so I can have both on the same hdd & can co-exist. [09:47] just turn off automatic suspending etc. when the batt is empty [09:47] i ran the battery out a couple nights ago, need to try it again [09:47] and run the machine on battery [09:47] then gpm will know how long your batt works [09:47] but i was wondering if that was actually explained anywhere [09:48] there is a bugreport somewhere... [09:48] launchpad [09:48] since it seems to be a new gnome feature [09:48] "feature" [09:48] it desn't really work... [09:49] i did it once [09:49] but after that gpm still showed I onlt had 1:50 of battery time [09:49] only* [09:49] i saw a bug about unsetting a variable via gconf === j_ack [n=jack@p508D8554.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu+1 === _4strO [n=cedric@AStrasbourg-253-1-9-16.w81-51.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #ubuntu+1 [09:52] guys has gnash been taking out of the repository?

I have a laptop, an Inspiron 510m. About 20 minutes from first boot, the laptop heats up considerably; the CPU ranges from 35-50 celcius, but the hard drive's temp always rises to above 50 celcius. That's within normal operating conditions for the drive, but the underside of the casing feels much hotter than it should - and the hottest area is actually the ram compartment... [11:04] I rebooted into XP and the laptop has cooled down considerably, so I think it's a software issue in Gutsy [11:04] I don't remember it happening in Feisty or previous releases, either [11:05] strange, for me linux has always been ice cool compared to windoze === conn83 [n=none@83.141.127.50] has joined #ubuntu+1 [11:10] conn, here's an important question, in gutsy, do your fans run? === finalbeta [n=gggggggg@d54C6865D.access.telenet.be] has joined #ubuntu+1 === voidmage [n=voidmage@adsl-70-224-0-74.dsl.sfldmi.ameritech.net] has joined #ubuntu+1 === Stormx2 [n=Stormx2@host-87-240-137-127.hi-velocity.net] has joined #ubuntu+1 === Martinp23_ [n=Martinp2@wikimedia/Martinp23] has joined #ubuntu+1 === Ronald|Laptop [n=ronald@ip51-232-58-62.adsl.versatel.nl] has joined #ubuntu+1 === PriceChild [n=pricechi@ubuntu/member/pricechild] has joined #ubuntu+1 [11:47] here is a general ubuntu (maybe any linux distro) question: why if there is a newer version of an application (take liferea for example) is it not available in the repository. See this bug for reference: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/liferea/+bug/121598 [11:47] Launchpad bug 121598 in liferea "Negative amount of unread items" [Low,Incomplete] [11:48] greg_g: it's a matter of testing, for one [11:48] stable release planning allows time for bug fixes [11:49] right [11:49] but some programs are updated with newer version correct? [11:49] (before the next distro release) === bentonnaz [n=bentonna@adsl-074-247-130-047.sip.owb.bellsouth.net] has joined #ubuntu+1 [11:49] some? which programs aren't updated with a newer version? [11:49] i think you mean some bugs are fixed in newer releases [11:50] the program version number [11:50] liferea for example: Ubuntu Feisty has 1.2.10c, but Ubuntu Gutsy (which is still under development) has 1.2.17. [11:50] ok [11:51] I may have stated it incorrectly, but I that is what I mean, newer versions of a program in the current repo [11:52] and there are bug fixes in 1.2.17 that effect me.. yes, I could install a .deb but does it not help ubuntu to have the latest (stable) version of a program in its distro? [11:52] (granted, the bug is simple and easy, and not critical, just an annoyance) [11:52] the thing is that in the general case, backporting brings in new features [11:53] which may break things [11:53] define backporting (sorry) [11:53] bringing a new version of software found in gutsy to feisty [11:53] I've seen the term before, seen the separate repo option for it.. but never really "got it" [11:53] ok [11:53] for example, if firefox released a new version after the stable was released [11:54] generally, the philosophy is that stable releases are version frozen [11:54] right, but that only happens when the next distro release is made? [11:54] ok [11:54] backports occasionaly happen, but not often [11:54] for example bringing in a new firefox could fix bugs but break extensions already installed [11:55] but the fact of the matter is that there's only so much developer time in the world [11:55] so it is testing that limits it. What if there was a package maintainer for such things? [11:55] right [11:55] then you'd be using debian ;) [11:56] in a lot of ways, ubuntu's release system feels targetted for server environments [11:56] where you dont want to discover that the new version of apache changed a config setting [11:56] yeah [11:57] ok, thanks for clearing it up for me === Dannilionz [n=danni@149.254.200.218] has joined #ubuntu+1 [11:58] i mean, it sounds like you want something slightly different [11:58] it had just been a nagging thing in my head for a while(this in general, not in particular to liferea) [11:58] Debian's system is different [11:58] how so? [11:59] think of packages as streams of data or rivers of programs [11:59] new versions arrive in unstable [11:59] really, Ubuntu is my first linux distro I stayed with for more than 1 month (always back to windows for one reason or another, mainly "security blanket") [11:59] ahh, ok [12:00] unstable is the place where the most severe testing occurs [12:00] that makes sense [12:00] after ten days, if nothing horrible happens [12:00] it gets dropped into "testing" [12:00] these are platforms, similar the difference between feisty and gutsy [12:01] the difference is that gutsy is far more prone to break than Debian unstable [12:01] right [12:01] why is that? (that kind of doesn't make sense to me) [12:01] greg_g: because some things are harder than others [12:01] changing over the compiler for example [12:01] usually means changing glibc [12:02] which just about every program uses [12:02] so for a short while things may not be in a consistant state; i dont know if the mirrors block that or what [12:02] ok, I guess it does make sense, with gutsy everything is changing NOW, but with unstable, it is more incremental, does that make sense? [12:03] the other thing is that the development version is where new work happens [12:03] maybe you're redoing init [12:03] right [12:03] and so not everything works; you dont want to support people that broke their install [12:03] so maybe Ubuntu should have a in-between platform :) [12:04] actually, there kind of is [12:04] ?
