jdongis there anything  anti-HIGgy about if gnome-screensaver reported failed unlock via libnotify bubble?01:16
jdongI mean, there's already a mechanism for g-s to pop up libnotify (for leaving message) -- I'd like to know how many times, and at what time, people tried and failed to unlock my screen.01:17
jdongwould that be a crackpot feature request to file, or does it sound reasonable?01:17
somerville32I don't like how it is now. I think there should be a widget to launch an application to view the events.01:19
somerville32And there should be a field to put your name in for the message.01:20
somerville32Maybe even integrate it with ldap and a network messaging mechanism.01:20
jdongsomerville32: that would be cool too :)01:24
jdongsomerville32: IMO there also needs an event viewer for update-manager post-update messages01:24
* somerville32 nods.01:24
jdongsomerville32: some of the messages shown, it's unreasonable to expect the user to remember them 2 weeks later01:24
somerville32I agree completely.01:25
jdongi.e. xserver-xgl tells the user to touch ~/something/disable to disable XGl for the user01:25
jdongI mean, how the heck is the user supposed to remember that? Pull out a sticky note?01:25
somerville32hehe01:25
jdong:)01:25
somerville32Maybe Tomboy? :P01:25
jdonghaha, that'd be a good april fools feature addition01:25
jdongall libnotify events get saved to tomboy01:26
jdongand you have to use tracker to find them.01:26
somerville32lol01:27
somerville32And we'll have Microsft Bob giving hints and suggestions.01:27
johanbrjdong: Seriously, I think a notification caching applet would be a nice thing to have.01:30
jdongjohanbr: yeah01:30
jdongjohanbr: IMO ideally the system log viewer applet should be extended to being able to aggregate per-user events into a per-user type log too01:31
* jdong wonders if a dbus/hal powered syslog clone would be a good idea or satire of dbus :D01:32
Hobbseeuh oh.  volume keys broke01:32
somerville32jdong: Why not just create a log that the current system log view can understand?01:32
somerville32hmm... firefox needs to die.01:34
wasabiSo, sudo thinks my timestamp is in the future. And it is. Clock got changed.01:34
wasabisudo -v doesn't seem to help01:35
desrtopen about a dozen gnome-terminals01:35
desrtthen open one more and sudo -s in that one01:35
desrtthen blow away the timestamp dir01:35
Fujitsuwasabi: sudo -K?01:35
wasabiNope, just tells me it's in teh future01:35
jdongsomerville32: that looks cool, but it seems like HAL and DBUS are the buzzwords nowadays01:36
desrtwasabi; it is the only way01:36
jdongsomerville32: and everything should be done over it, yada yada yada01:36
somerville32lol01:36
wasabiWhat is the only way?01:36
Fujitsujdong: No, we should be doing everything of KDE4's HAL Abstraction Layer.01:36
Fujitsus/of/over/01:36
jdongFujitsu: we might need to abstract that too just in case AmaroK2's abstraction layer of the KDE4 abstraction layer needs to be fed into a lower abstraction layer :)01:37
wasabiWhy doesn't sudo just reprompt for the password in this case?01:40

* Lrrr_ is looking for an example of use of the data produced by Germinate.02:05
HobbseeLrrr_: ubuntu-desktop metapackage would be a good start02:05
Lrrr_mm02:05
Lrrr_The source package?02:06
Hobbseeyes02:06
Hobbseewell, binaries too02:06
Hobbseeunsure what use the final data is, though - it's just lists of dependancies02:06
Hobbseewhat are you trying to do?02:06
Lrrr_I'm investigating the use of Germinate for a custom, Debian-based, distribution at work.02:07
Lrrr_I thought Germinate was cool and all but could not go from that, to a distributable CD, for example.02:07
Lrrr_I wondered what to do with the data.02:07
Hobbseeah right, so you want to look at the seeds as well02:07
Lrrr_I've seen the Ubuntu seeds.  Made my own example.02:08
Hobbseestart with the seeds, run the update script in ubuntu-meta, and look at the output :)02:08
Lrrr_I see.  It's used to generate the list of package included in the respective Ubuntu & derivatives metapackages.02:10
Hobbseeyup02:10
Lrrr_what package is used to generate the Ubuntu CDs?02:11
LaserJockLrrr_: like to build the .isos?02:12
Lrrr_yes02:12
LaserJockcheck out debian-cd, ubuntu-cdimage, and germinate02:13
* Lrrr_ jumps for joy! germinate-to-tasks germinate-to-tasks!02:15
Lrrr_Now THAT was my missing link.02:16
Lrrr_I certainly don't need that much complexity but that will help me understand how to use Germinate data.02:17

cprovHobbsee: hi there03:14
Hobbseecprov: did you revolutionalise launchpad while you were away?03:15
cprovHobbsee: before you complain, let me say that the builders are stopped for maintenance <wink>03:15
Hobbseecprov: wasnt planning on it, i saw the announcement.03:15
Hobbseecprov: i didnt think i complained that much, do i?  :)03:15
cprovHobbsee: well, no ... but I wasn't exactly away03:15
StevenKcprov: You ought to have been.03:16
Hobbseeoh, i thought you went to all hands03:16
cprovHobbsee: you have been softened by the time03:16
Hobbseecprov: still, there's a nice critical security bug for ppas to fix if you get bored...03:16
cprovHobbsee: I'm at all hands, right. it doesn't mean I'm not coding03:16
cprovHobbsee: We are aware of it03:17
Hobbseecprov: oh.  when i said 'away', i meant away from irc.03:17
Hobbseenot away from launchpad03:17
cprovHobbsee: did you miss me that much, it was only away for dinner ...03:17
Hobbseecprov: oh, i thought you hadnt been on for a couple of weeks.03:18
cprovHobbsee: I was hiding03:18
ajmitchheh03:18
Hobbseeheh.  smart, perahsp03:19
cprovHobbsee: did a light talk about ppa today, I wish you and the other enthusiastic people from motu were here03:20
Hobbseecprov: set up voip? :)03:20
TheMusoCertainly would have been nice to hear it.03:20
Hobbseecprov: maybe some day.  but all hands is supposed to be incredibly sekrit, dealing with the plans from the evil canonical empire, isnt it?03:21
Hobbsees/from/of/03:21
cprovHobbsee: nah, there is not voip in AllHands, you might know why.03:21
Hobbseecprov: only for the specific stuff that you actuallyw ant input about.  but then the question is raised - why not do it at UDS?03:22
cprovHobbsee: ehe, not that *evil* ... just megalomaniac at some sense, you know 'world domination' approach03:22
Hobbseecprov: evil and world domination can go hand in hand.03:22
cprovHobbsee: i didn't have time, was attending to class, launchpad-training03:23
Hobbseeah03:23
cprovHobbsee: and usually end up working very well03:23
Hobbseecool :)03:24
cprovHobbsee: it was quite a EOF (on my face) :) I got it, let me do some work to make you life easier.03:27
Hobbseecprov: what kind of work?  as in, what on?03:27
cprovHobbsee: like, fixing the damn builders.03:28
Hobbseecprov: woot!  :D03:28
Hobbseecprov: can you poke people into giving me buildd admin access too, while you're at it/03:28
cprovHobbsee: wot ?03:28
Hobbsees/woot/yay/03:28
cprovHobbsee: seriously ?  do you actually want to help us with it ?03:29
cprovHobbsee: it's dirty.03:29
Hobbseecprov: i would, yes.03:29
Hobbseei'm aware of that, based on how often iv'e seen it break :)03:29
cprovHobbsee: have you talked with tollef and/or colin ?  how they feel about it ?03:29
Hobbseecprov: i only spoke to sabdfl and tollef03:29
Hobbseecolin doesnt have a problem with it, but doesnt have the power to do it03:30
Hobbsee(although he gave me archive admin, and i've been messing around with that a bit)03:30
Hobbseecprov: sabdfl was fine with it, on the agreement that i didnt "mess with the buildds", which is fair enough03:30
cprovHobbsee: well, I guess that you could start getting access to the LP-actions already available, you are going to add more features to that.03:30
Hobbseecprov: that would be the hope, yes.03:31
Hobbseecprov: they seem to refuse to give me chinstrap access, so i'm stuck using LP UI's - and not doing it, if the LP section is broken.03:31
cprovHobbsee: +1 (dunno, if my opinion really counts on this, but ..)03:31
Hobbsee:)03:31
StevenKNeat. There's no pending builds at all03:32
StevenK(Which is a lie, but anyway)03:33
ajmitchI'm sure that'll change03:33
cprovHobbsee: you know what, you could do great if you have access to rescore builds, rescue builders and things like that (already available)03:33
* TheMuso only has to process uus and be lucky enough to find 100% good debdiffs, and it will change. No argument.03:33
Hobbseecprov: indeed.  which was the stuff i was after :)03:33
Hobbseecprov: i havent been able to find an admin for long enough, that can actually add me to said team.03:33
ajmitchthen we can all bug Hobbsee to do stuff for us03:34
cprovHobbsee: specially in your TZ (ok, you are a workaholic, which is even better)03:34
Hobbseecprov: obviously,i'd likely take more if offered, but i understand that you cant really offer it03:34
Hobbseecprov: :P03:34
Hobbseeajmitch: no you cant.  no drescher access.03:34
Hobbseethat'd be the really useful one03:35

* Hobbsee taps fingers, and hums quietly03:35
ScottKStevenK: Got a moment for a Debian New Maintainer question?03:35
cprovajmitch: of course, you would prefer to bug her instead of me, he actually stays in the channel, I just show up once a while03:35
ajmitchcprov: plus Hobbsee is usually around at a (somewhat) sane time03:36
* cprov nods03:37
Hobbseecprov: i doubt i can rescue builders - that would require ssh access, surely?03:38
cprovHobbsee: not often03:39
StevenKScottK: Sure03:39
ScottKStevenK: I'm about to send in may New Maintainer Application and they want First Name/Last Name.  I go by my middle name.  Should I put the name I actually use or my legal first name (both are on my signed key)?03:40
bddebianScottK: How old are you again?  You should be about retirement age by the time you get DD..03:41
* bddebian hides03:41
StevenKScottK: You are more well known as Scott, so I would put that - and I can think of another example.03:41

slangasekhmm, all the DDs I know of who go by their middle name also don't use their first name on their key IDs03:44

ScottKStevenK: slangasek signed my key (thanks again) and Piotr Ożarowski is going to advocate for me.03:45

slangasek(the others I know of are Ryan Murray and Isaac Jones)03:45
StevenKslangasek: Indeed. I think he's scared we might not think he's scary with a name like Garry or something.03:46
bddebianheh03:46
StevenKScottK: Keep in mind (and slangasek is the same), that my legal name is Steven, but my key says Steve03:46
ScottKStevenK: OK.  Well I clicked submit, so it's done for now.03:47
* ScottK figured more information was better than less.03:47

ZdraI'm pretty sure it won't work well for most users...15:12
bigonmantiena-baltix: yep voip "works" with empathy, you need telepathy-stream-manager and a webcam15:12
bigonZdra: :p15:12

mantiena-baltixbigon: for me it doesn't work at all, I don't have webcam, but have microphone15:19
bigonmantiena-baltix: you must start telepathy-stream-engine and set FS_VIDEO_SRC=videotestsrc is-live=true15:22
bigonmantiena-baltix: btw Zdra is the upstream dev :p15:23

Zdramantiena-baltix: yes, it's started magically, but it need to be installed15:43
Zdramantiena-baltix: but if you want to start stream engine with some special parameters you have to start it manuelly first15:44
bigonmantiena-baltix: yes it does but you must pass FS_VIDEO_SRC=videotestsrc is-live=true before starting it15:46
bigonZdra: does tp-se looks at the gstreamer-properties?15:47
Robot101bigon: no, it's made of loss15:48
mantiena-baltixbigon: why I must set FS_VIDEO_SRC to videotestsrc15:48
Robot101bigon: for audio it always uses alsa src/sink15:48
bigonmantiena-baltix: because tp-se always looks for a webcam15:48
mantiena-baltixand because of this it doesn't work for me ?15:49
Robot101for video stuff it tries gconfvideosrc, v4l2src then v4lsrc15:49
bigonif tp-se takes 100% of cpu time, yes it the reason15:49
Robot101so it will use the gst-properties choice of video input device15:49
mantiena-baltixbtw, maybe it's enough to set video input to videotestsrc in  gstreamer-properties ?15:51

socabout the encryption plans of hardy:18:18
socis it intended that one can just put in his usbstick in and use the additional partition?18:19
Luresoc: that what they are looking for for kubuntu18:20
socah cool18:20
Luresoc: similar as opensuse 10.318:20
socbecause currently with device mapper you have to put the stick in before you boot18:20
socand thats really crappy18:20
socadditionally, IF i choose to encrypt something, i would be happy if the kernel/ubuntu wouldn't complain the whole time at the startup if the stick isn't put in18:21
soci can't understand that18:23
socIF a person decides to encrypt something, it would be sensible that the kernel wouldn't tell everyone that there is an encrypted partition18:24
hungerSo far a package for hardy needs about 1.7 times longer to build as it did in gutsy:-( Is that due to the new gcc or were only the big guns compiled so far?18:32
soc:-)18:45
soclooks like gcc is really getting slower and slower over time :-/18:45
hungerYeap, I am afraid so.18:46
nnyworking on one of these new eee pc laptops. Does anyone have a site with good init boot time reduction or ways to speed up the boot process?18:48
hungersoc: I am a bit concerned as it will take about 6month to build all the source packages for hardy... and I was only counting the successful builds, too.18:55
tonyyarussonny: Well, I know you can use the 'bootchart' package to find where the bottlenecks are, but I don't know how to fix them.18:56

socmaybe we need something like ecgs again, to wake people up ..20:04
hungersoc: What do you expect? They spend their time on open source;-)20:05
soc:-P20:05
socbtw, i just wonder, why we can't use one or two compiler versions ... not FOUR!20:05
hungersoc: yeap, we'd need an xorg-for-compilers.20:05
soci have gcc 3.3, 3.4, 4.1, 4.2 installed here20:05
hungersoc: 3.4 is from the libc5 IIRC.20:06
soc3.3 is only needed for sun-java and fglrx kernel mess20:06
hungerDunno why there is a 4.1 around.20:06
soc3.4 for ghemical and some progs i never heard of20:07
hungerBut then that was the default compiler in gutsy (at least on my system), so maybe they just did not get round to remove it yet.20:07
soc4.1 is completely useless..20:07
hungersoc: Isen't cpp-x.y enough for that?20:07
soclsen't?20:07
hungersoc: Some programs need the cpp from an outdated gcc for some reason or another.20:08
hungersoc: Sorry, it's gcc-3.3-base that is needed for the old libc stuff, not gcc-base-3.420:09
socthose programs should be fixed up ...20:09
socbut of course, ati is one of the candidates again20:10
sochow could i think, that they would leave out a chance to produce mess?20:10
hungersoc: Actually the LSB says it is OK IIRC, so there is little a distri can do.20:10
socyes, of course20:11
* hunger wonders how big gnustep-base is... running for 9h on one of the buildservers already.20:11
socbut on the other side, it would be nice if programs would have fewer dependencies20:12
socand old compiler versions might be a dependencie easy to fix ...20:12

sladenhubuntu: there was the debian knetbsd, and we do have the nexenta example that it can be done23:00
sladenhubuntu: Linux has driver support.  Linux has momentum.  Linux has backing, and R&D and hotplug, and, and and...23:00
sladenhubuntu: this is why Linux as a kernel is attractive.  If the OpenSolaris kernel takes momentum then, I'm sure people would switch23:01
sladenhubuntu: Ubuntu generally tries to deliver the best and ensuring that "what nearly works" gets turned into "it just works"23:01
sladenhubuntu: and it's always possible that somebody even forks the Linux kernel and takes that fork into a more attractive version.  See Xf86/Xorg ubuntu jumped faster than most people23:03
