pittiKeybuk: I'm afraid so, yes14:44
Keybukpitti: where do they go?14:44
Mithrandirseb128: uh, no.  My key is on a smart card, similar to a banking card, it's not on a disk at all14:45
pittiKeybuk: you can add it to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi14:45
pittior create a new one in that dir14:45
seb128Mithrandir: ah, dunno about that14:45
Keybukthere's no ~/.config or anything?14:45
pittiKeybuk: there's an enabled example about not mounting internal drives; you need to match on a different property of course, such as a label or UUID14:45
Mithrandirseb128: so if it advertises PCSC support or something like that, there's a chance for it working, but otherwise, it probably won't work.14:46
pittiKeybuk: there could be something gconfish that gnome-mount reads (like in the volume/drive properties dialog), but there isn't ATM14:46
Hobbseeevand: if it was you who unmoderated the falcon stuff, be aware that it's already gone thru the motu list, and the motu-council list, and probably doesn't need to go thru -devel as well14:46
Mithrandirseb128: is upstream working on fixing the overwriting of the variable or would you accept a patch fixing it?  It should be simple (if (getenv("SSH_AUTH_SOCK" == NULL) { putenv(...);} )14:47
seb128Mithrandir: it's probably not, no, there is a gnome-keyring-daemon command line argument to not use the ssh-agent but since the code to launch it is hardcoded in gnome-session there is no way to use it at the moment14:47
seb128Mithrandir: they are working on it and it'll be fixed before hardy14:47
evandHobbsee: ah damn, sorry about that14:47
Mithrandirseb128: ah, sounds good14:48

pittiKeybuk: well, installing Ubuntu != using a computer the first time15:15
seb128pitti: you know about "f-spot -view directory" right?15:15
Keybukpitti: sure, but usually after installing a new OS, you still need to import your photos again15:15
pittiseb128: no, I don't; I used View -> Arrange -> By directory, but that doesn't work15:15
pittiKeybuk: so far I didn't have to; in Windows, Debian, and Ubuntu I could just continue to use my existing collection on my /mm VFAT partition15:16
pittiKeybuk: well, I'm not saying that I'm the average user :)15:16
seb128pitti: you can continue doing that, browse with nautilus, double click and eog is used15:16
Keybukyou can still open those folders in nautilus to browse the thumbnails, and double-click on one to bring it up larger, and then use next/previous arrows to browse the collection15:16
pittiit just feels weird to me to copy the entire photo collection again, and edit that, and suddenly find that your original photos haven't been changed15:16
seb128pitti: I'm not sure what else you need to browse your collections15:17
pittiseb128: right, I should try that15:17

seb128right, it's broken here as well15:19
pittiseb128: nautilus> that only gives me a single picture, though, no prev/next15:19

seb128right15:20
seb128not sure what is your standard usecase15:21
seb128I've those scenario15:21
seb128- plug an usb key with some photo to show those, nautilus is open, I double click on the first one and click on next in eog to show the photos15:21
pittiseb128: use case: "parents come in, I want to show them some of my photos" :)15:22

pittiI just thought we wanted to consolidate to use just one photo app for everything15:22
Keybukpitti: we're not getting rid of nautilus/eog15:22

pittiwell, except that eog and f-spot are totally incompatible wrt. browsing, file locations, UI, etc.15:22
seb128my understanding is that we want to keep eog as a viewer and fspot to manage a photo collection15:23
Keybukwhy incompatible?15:23
KeybukI can browse the f-spot managed folders in nautilus and use eog on the files :)15:23
pittif-spot is 'object'-based, while eog/nautilus are file-based15:23
pittiKeybuk: c'mon, you'll never find the one you are looking for in nautilus15:23
KeybukI don't know what you mean by "object" based here15:23
seb128well, the issue is that f-spot should work from a directory library15:23
seb128like rhythmbox do15:23
pittiI see the idea of f-spot about abstracting away from files15:23
seb128rather than reimporting everything15:23
pittijust like rb abstracts away from files, too15:23
Keybukseb128: it does?15:23
seb128Keybuk: no it doesn't15:24
Keybuklike rb, it just has an index file of that directory15:24
pittibut unlike RB, f-spot owns my photos, while rb just creates an index from my music15:24
seb128Keybuk: it creates this layout using directory by year, etc and copy photos there15:24
pittiso I can still keep my existing music colletion without rearranging everything15:24
pittiI think RB got the concept really well (I love it)15:24
Keybukpitti: rb owns it too15:24
KeybukI have to import the music into my library15:24
=== RadiantFire_ is now known as RadiantFire
Keybukand then it makes up filenames, etc. under that library15:25
pittiKeybuk: but it's not requiring the files to be in any particular directory and layout15:25
seb128Keybuk: rb monitors a directory on the disk without touching the files15:25
Keybuk(arguably they should both just use tracker <g>)15:25
=== syp| is now known as syp_
pittif-spot copies them around and hides them with unintelligible names and directories instead of leaving them alone wherever they are15:25
HobbseeKeybuk: you're just asking to be clubbed in the head.15:25
pittiwhich is ok if you never use anything else than f-spot15:25
KeybukHobbsee: I'm entirely serious15:26
seb128let's not start on the tracker discussion now15:26
Keybukif they both used tracker, it wouldn't matter where the photos/music were, what filenames, etc.15:26
seb128it's not going to happen for hardy15:26
pittiKeybuk: object-based> abstracting away from the close-to-the-metal files and directories15:26
Keybukpitti: this is a good thing, no?15:26
HobbseeKeybuk: if tracker wasn't such a performance hit, etc, then sure.15:26
pittiKeybuk: by itself, yes15:26
seb128Keybuk: the thing is that f-spot should monitor a directory you give him without touching anything there, like rhythmbox do, it doesn't right now though15:27
pittiKeybuk: but the rest of our desktop, including nautilus, is still by and large file/directory based15:27
pittiso it's confusing once you leave the domain of f-spot15:27
Keybukseb128: how do you make rhythmbox do that?15:27
pittiKeybuk: import directory/file, done15:27
seb128Keybuk: I don't import music using rhythmbox15:27
pittithere's nothing else15:27
Keybukseb128: cause I can't15:27
pittiKeybuk: RB just creates an index15:27
Keybukpitti: of it's own directory15:28
seb128Keybuk: by default it monitors Music, copy any song there, watch inotify notice it and rhythmbox list it15:28
Keybuknot any others15:28
Keybukif you import any others, it copies them into its own directory15:28
pitti~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/rhythmdb.xml15:28
Keybukseb128: right, but isn't that just what f-spot does with ~/Photos ?15:28
pittiKeybuk: how do you mean? ("own directory")15:28
seb128Keybuk: well, there is no way to tell to f-spot "use that directory", it wants to create its own layout and import everything15:28
pittiKeybuk: you can add arbitrary directories to RB's collection15:28
Keybukseb128: it's in Preferences15:28
seb128or I don't know how15:28
* seb128 tries15:28
Keybukpitti: yes, and it copies them into ~/Music15:28
Keybukorganising them itself15:29
pittiKeybuk: no, not for me15:29
Amaranthsince when did rhythmbox do that?15:29
Amaranthi wish it did that15:29
seb128Amaranth: do what?15:29
Keybukit's entirely possible I'm wrong, but I've always found rb very difficult to use because of the way its library works15:29
Amaranthmove music to ~/Music and organize it automatically15:30
seb128Keybuk: it doesn't do anything, it just list everything which is in the directory he has been pointed to15:30
pittiKeybuk: hm; I love how it works; seems people do have different ideas how to organize stuff :)15:30
seb128which means you can download things directly there15:30
seb128create directories as you like15:30
seb128etc15:30
seb128let sound-juicer create albums15:30
Keybukok15:30
Keybukin f-spot I just did15:31
Keybuk1) made a tree of photos under ~/My Photos15:31
Keybuk2) opened f-spot15:31
Keybuk3) unchecked "Copy into Photos directory"15:31
Keybuk4) selected ~/My Photos15:31
Keybuk5) clicked Import15:31
Keybuknow my photos appear in f-spot15:31
Keybukwith the original filenames and tree15:31
pittijust tried it in RB and confirmed that it doesn't copy a foreign directory; it just indexes it15:31
pittiand notices that stuff has gone from it, etc.15:32
Keybukpitti: with Music -> Import Folder ?15:32
pittiKeybuk: yes15:32
pittiKeybuk: that checkbox for f-spot doesn't exist in the import dialog15:32
pittiKeybuk: the camera one, I mean (f-spot-import)15:32
Keybuk?!15:32
pittif-spot-import is the program I'll set in gnome-volume-manager15:33
pittias reaction to plugging in a photo cam15:33
Keybukhttp://people.ubuntu.com/~scott/Screenshot-Import.png15:33
Keybukit's the first one15:33
Keybukright, but that's now what you're talking about15:34
Keybukyou have an existing photo collection you want f-spot to look at without rearranging it15:34
Keybukadding new photos, why not let f-spot name them?15:34
pittiand obeying my existing structure when importing new ones, too, of course15:34
Keybukhow's it supposed to divine your existing structure? :p15:34
pittiKeybuk: because I still want to be able to find them without f-spot :)15:34
Keybuk~/Photos/Auntie Maud/Birthday/eating cake.jpg15:35
tjaaltonis it the libnss-db update that makes ssh output "/var/lib/misc/services.db: No such file or directory"?15:35
Keybukit sounds like you just don't want f-spot15:35
tjaaltonI'm getting that a lot15:35
pittiKeybuk: just giving me the ability to download them into a particular directory would be enough15:35
Keybukand want to just continue making directories and managing them that way15:35
pittiright, because it's compatible with the rest of the world15:35
pittias I said, f-spot makes sense if you use it and only it15:35
Keybukso just click "Open Folder" instead of "Import" ?15:35
pittibut as soon as you start swapping photos with other people, the object-based approach gets in your wya15:36
KeybukI don't see how15:36
KeybukI find it *so* much easier to find photos in f-spot15:36
pittiI think it could be as easy as allowing me to select a target directory in f-spot-import15:36
* Keybuk double clicks on the "pitti" tag15:36
pittiKeybuk: i'm lost there, since I don't have a spare month to tag all my photos15:37
Keybukmy albums were originally in the folder-per-album format15:37
Keybukso I just imported them one at a time, with a tag as I did it15:37
seb128Keybuk: does f-spot monitors the directory for you?15:37
Keybukseb128: no idea on that one15:37
Keybukit should, obviously15:38
seb128Keybuk: if I copy a new directory with photos in the library there it's not picked by fspot15:38
seb128library = the photo directory15:38
Keybukseb128: then it doesn't15:38
seb128neither after a restart15:38
seb128which means it expect you do get everything imported from the f-spot interface15:38
Keybukthat doesn't surprise me15:38
seb128well, that's my main issue with it15:40
seb128it forces you to import your collection15:40
seb128rather that taking a directory as rhythmbox do and inotify it15:40
Keybuksure15:40
Keybukas I've said before, I think both should just use tracker and not try and have their own magic directories15:41
Keybukthat's just obvious15:41
pittiKeybuk, seb128: AFAIR, seed changes were: -serpentine, +brasero, -gthumb, change g-v-m photo import to f-spot-import, right?15:41
Keybukrb already has a tracker plugin now, right?15:42
seb128not that I know15:42
seb128pitti: -gnome-btdownload +transmission-gtk15:42
pittiseb128: ah, thanks15:42
pittioh, transmission is universe15:43
pittiseb128: we can demote gnome-btdownload then, right?15:43
seb128pitti: +vinagre (-xvncviewer)?15:43
seb128pitti: afaik yes15:43
Keybukpitti: hmm, any time I have the match file in, HAL ignores my device entirely! :-(15:44
pittiKeybuk: what did you set, storage.automount_enabled_hint=False?15:44
pittiseb128: xvncviewer is already in universe15:45
Keybukpitti: storage.no_partitions_hint = true15:45
pittiseb128: you mean remove tsclient?15:45
pittiKeybuk: for suppressing automount?15:45
pittioh, I remember15:46
pittiyou want to work around that raw device *and* first partition bug15:46
Keybukpitti: right15:46
seb128pitti: no, maybe nothing to remove there then, didn't we have a vnc client in the default installation?15:46
pittiseb128: I thought tsclient coudl do vnc? at least it says so in the selector15:46
pitti tsclient also supports:15:46
pitti   * VNC clients (*vncviewer)15:46
Keybukpitti: it doesn't seem to matter what I set15:47
seb128pitti: right, I though it was using a vnc viewer though15:47
pittiSuggests: vnc-viewer15:47
pittiah15:47
Keybukthe minute I set *anything*, HAL starts ignoring the card altoghet15:47
pittiseb128: so yeah, seems we don't install any by default ATM15:47
seb128desktop: * xvnc4viewer      # needed by tsclient15:47
seb128in gutsy15:47
seb128did we change that?15:47
pittiseb128: ah, '4'15:47
pittiseb128: I checked xvncviewer15:47
pittiseb128: alrighty15:47
seb128me too, I just grepped the seed to look what vnc client we had15:48
pittiseb128: we can't drop sound-juicer yet, can we? or should we move that to rb?15:49
Keybukpitti: sound juicer is the only decent ripper/player right now, no?15:49
seb128no we can't15:49
pittiright, that's what I thought15:49
_MMA_Keybuk: Grip and abcde. ;)15:50
seb128the rhythmbox UI is too confusing and has no proper preferences to set the format of the directories to use, etc15:50
seb128we could change the CD playing command to "rhyhmbox device" though15:50
seb128that works nowadays15:50
pittiseb128: right, would be nice to have the CD as just another music source in the left bar15:51
seb128pitti: that's the case15:51
seb128pitti: and "rhythmbox device" switch to the source and start playing nowadays15:52

SWATI'm using gnome-main-menu and when I click on it (I have two of them, dualscreen, seperate x session setup) on my 2nd screen, it opens on my 1st screen. Is this a Gnome or rather an X.org issue?15:55

Amaranthmjg59: What was the bit you were talking about with 0x80 io port and random lockups?16:49
Amaranthin your blog16:49
mjg59Amaranth: In what way?16:49
Amaranthmjg59: You said HP laptops had this problem, was just wondering what that was16:51
AmaranthI'd love to blame my random lockups on something other than nvidia+compiz ;)16:51
mjg59Oh - Linux uses port 0x80 to delay certain io writes, on the assumption that there'll be nothing there and it'll trigger a bus abort16:51
mjg59Some HP systems (mostly the dv6xxx series) have a piece of hardware there16:52
Amaranthah16:52
mjg59Which then becomes upset if it's fed a large number of writes16:52
AmaranthSo I probably don't have that problem, I've got a dv800016:52
mjg59Could still be the case16:53
mjg59You can hack the kernel to use 0xed instead16:53
AmaranthWell, what are the symptoms? Other than "random lockups"16:53

jdongsuperm1: I passed our agreed debian/copyright and a heads-up about repacking to Christian... I feel sorry for how much spam he's gotten from us two!18:02
superm1jdong, :)18:02
pittiKmos: yes, but to supported only, and no reverse depends in main18:02
Kmosgeser: that's a good idea :) thanks18:02
superm1jdong, if we convince him to build depend on the libavcodeccvs | libavcodec  etc, we might be able to get it to the point that we can just sync in the future :)18:02
Kmospitti: we need to check first if it builds fine with libgda3-dev, thanks18:03
jdongsuperm1: that all depends on if we can get the guy to agree to repacking. My gut feeling is that he could care less about the issue and would rather have the convenience of directly pulling upstream tarballs18:06
superm1jdong, could always write a get-orig-source that does this for debian/rules18:17
superm1i've done that in the past for repacked tarballs that i didn't want to have to deal with having to do manually every time18:18

Mithrandircalc: what's up with ooo ftbfs-ing on amd64?18:21
calcMithrandir: it appears gcj uses huge amounts of ram (< 2GB though) and causes it to fail on the buildd18:24
calcMithrandir: it works fine on my home pc that isn't doing other things with 2GB ram available18:24
calcMithrandir: gcj fails for what looks like the same reason on lpia (runs out of memory)18:25
Mithrandircalc: why do you think it runs out of memory?18:25
keescookdoko: libxml2 on hardy FTBFS for some not-obvious-to-me reason18:26
calcit says it does on lpia and the type of fault someone mentioned isn't normal and was likely due to memory on amd64 as well (i don't recall who mentioned that)18:26
calcMithrandir: and it builds fine with same source on my amd64 box18:26
* calc looks at the amd64 build log again18:28
calcMithrandir: the ppc failure is easy to fix, the sparc failure i am not sure about it seems to nearly always ICE on sparc18:29
calcoh yea the other thing about amd64/lpia build is it fails in the same spot on both, lpia runs out of ram and amd64 ICEs (well the first time) looks like it retried and just timed out the last time18:30
bryceheya glatzor, how goes?18:31
calcthe previous build failure for amd64 on that code was an ICE of some sort18:31
glatzorbryce: looking at the new xorg.conf style not so well :)18:33
Mithrandircalc: the amd64 is it timing out, not ICE-ing, which is why I'm asking about why you think running out of memory has anything to do with it.18:34
calcMithrandir: that is the second failure on the same upload18:38
calcMithrandir: the first time it ICEd the second time it timed out18:38
calcMithrandir: both failures are in the same spot that on lpia it ran out of memory18:38
calcand i was able to build it fine on my amd64 with the same upload that failed twice on the amd64 buildds18:39
calcamd64 is my local arch i build on before uploading18:39
Mithrandirusing sbuild?18:39
calc/usr/bin/gcj-4.2 -c -g -O2 -fPIC -findirect-dispatch -fjni unoil.jar.1.jar -o unoil.jar.1.o18:39
calcjc1: out of memory allocating 4064 bytes after a total of 934146048 bytes18:39
calcMithrandir: not using sbuild but a clean chroot that is generated for each new upload18:40
calcMithrandir: and this type of problem has been around for a while with gcj, i just need to talk to doko about it when he is back (if he is back from vacation yet)18:40
calcdoko: ping18:40
Mithrandirhe was around earlier today18:41
calcoh ok18:41
dokocalc: around (still in vacation). please check with gcj-4.3 from the ubuntu-toolchain ppa (and/or send me the unoil.jar.1.jar file)18:42
bryceglatzor: yes most  of xorg.conf is gone now18:42
calcdoko: ok i can send you the jar file it builds fine for me on amd64 already so i doubt my testing of gcj-4.3 would show much18:42
calcdoko: i think i cleaned out the build already but i will regenerate it and copy the file out18:43
calcdoko: how is the progress of icedtea coming?18:44
bryceglatzor: perhaps we ought to re-look at how we do GUI xorg configuration18:45
bryceglatzor: I suspect the way xorg.conf is going, it may be invalidating some of displayconfig-gtk's core assumptions18:45
glatzorbryce: indeed.18:46
glatzorbryce: perhaps we could talk about this tomorrow18:46
=== Lutin_ is now known as Lutin
bryceglatzor: sounds good18:50
superm1bryce, is there a proper way to query drivers in use and such when they aren't explicitly listed in xorg.conf then?18:51
slangasekMithrandir: I've never heard of anything being done with Kerberos and mDNS, no.  you can put .local names /in/ Kerberos as principals, but.18:52
brycesuperm1: the only authoritative way is to parse from Xorg.0.log18:53
superm1whew yuck.18:53
brycesuperm1: yeah I know18:53
superm1especially if you end up starting on a different display18:53
superm1i'm surprised there are no bindings out there to query the x server and ask such things18:54
brycein my dreams where I have ample extra time, I fantasize about adding an API to X for querying these sorts of things18:54
bryceI've dug through the source code and there aren't even hooks to do it though - it'd be a significant infrastructure task18:54
bryceyeah, you'd think xrandr or xdpyinfo would have something like that18:55
brycebut no, you'd need to build up an API call in the X server, and probably have to extend the X protocol (dunno what's involved there), then add the calls to whatever X clients need it18:56
bryceI talked with a couple people at XDC about it, but they didn't see the use of exposing this info to users.  Their opinion was that xserver should autoconfigure itself, and so that info shouldn't be needed at all.18:57
bryceso I just nodded and walked away slowly.18:57
superm1how very unfortunate.18:57
superm1maybe a good proposal for a google summer of code project this next summer18:58
brycewell, I think they'd be open to being sent a patch, but it didn't sound like it'd be anywhere on their radar18:58
superm1considering the amount of work that will be necessary18:58
bryceoh yeah, that could be18:58
