* slangasek hates on whatever is honoring his volume keys that's *not* GNOME, causing every keypress to count twice :P01:48
jdongslangasek: introduce a third one that registers the opposite direction once to counteract it :)01:51
slangasekOMG >_<01:51
* jdong pets slangasek 01:52
jdongslangasek: don't worry, I've got a 104F fever, my advice might not be as good as usual :)01:52
slangasekhmm, what's that bot command again to give me the relevant quote...01:53
slangasekah yes, there it is01:53

ubotujdong: <Hobbsee> jdong: yes, but you're FULL OF CRACK!01:53
slangasekI'm thinking the fever isn't keeping you down any ;)01:54
* jdong resists potential innuendos in above statement....01:55
* Fujitsu laments the lack of a Sync button on LP, resulting in annoying delays when syncing things.01:55

FujitsuDoes anybody else find the new tooltip colour to be a bit too... orange?02:00
_MMA_Fujitsu: "kwwii: I think that for hardy there is little reason to go out on a limb and change things for the sake of change" So I'm pretty sure Hardy will be the old "ubuntulooks" theme.02:11
Fujitsu_MMA_: Why is the Murrine-based one evolving fairly quickly and on by default, then?02:14
sladenslangasek: is it a thinkpad?02:16
jdong_MMA_: that's a shame; I for one like the murrine based theme02:16
Fujitsujdong: As do I. It's much better than it was a couple of days ago.02:17
FujitsuWithout the orange scrollbars, particularly.02:17
_MMA_Ken has been testing and watching feedback. All the normal stuff. Some love it, some hate it. Cant please everyone. :P02:18
_MMA_"kwwii: it is very, very likely that we will use ubuntulooks in the end" So we'll see.02:18
slangaseksladen: yes02:27
slangaseksladen: you have a fix? or a pointer in the right direction?02:27
sladenslangasek: ps aux | grep thinkpad-keys   remember the thinkpad has hardware volumen keys02:28
sladenslangasek: is it the volume, or the mute?02:28
sladenslangasek: is it a really, really recent model?02:29
slangaseksladen: volume; yes, thinkpad-keys is running; what's the issue there?02:29
slangasekit's a T6002:29
slangasek~1yr old02:29
sladenslangasek: ideally ACPI events are used to generate key presses;  with broken ACPI, the ACPI interupt is used to trigger a polling check;  with some totally broken models, the deamon is running in polling mode02:30
sladenslangasek: it's probably a feedback loop somehow;  the hardware keys change the volume *and* get converted to a keypress;   keypress->volume change (in s/w) and "the volume changed"...02:31
slangaseksladen: er, this is an entirely issue though02:31
sladenENOADJECTIVE02:33
slangasekheh02:33
slangasekentirely *new* issue02:33
slangaseklike, I think it's only been happening since my last login02:33
slangasekand it definitely wasn't happening before my last kernel upgrade02:33
sladensolved.  blame the kernel people.  Probably the kernel has now started to do it's own handling or something mad02:34
slangasekmeh02:34
slangasekthen it's hardly "solved" then, is it :)02:34
slangasek  * ACPI: update ACPI blacklist02:36
slangasekthat's the only suggestive entry in the changelog02:36
sladenthinkpad_acpi may have recently started generating its own events directly, recently02:42
slangasekif I stop acpid, I see no keypress events for the volume key, and the volume adjusts02:48

Arwen[00:11] <Arwen> I have a local APT repository on my machine05:12
Arwen[00:11] <Arwen> I try to use "apt-get source" to copy sources from it05:12
Arwen[00:11] <Arwen> it goes upstream and fetches a LOWER VERSIOn05:12
Arwen[00:12] <Arwen> how to fix?05:12
PriceChildArwen: this isn't really a support channel, but make sure you've added the deb-src lines then apt-get update'd, and an apt-cache madison might be helpful to see what's going on.05:16
ArwenI keep asking in the normal channels and people keep ignoring me..05:16
PriceChildI haven't seen you in #ubuntu for several thousand lines.05:17
Arwenbecause Seveas banned me 2 years ago05:18
Arwenand, apt-cache madison shows my sources without a package name at the start of the line. What does that mean?05:21
PriceChildappeal it in -ops, a pastebin would help others help you, I'm off to sleep05:23
Arwenlast time I asked he replied "not today, not tommorow, not the day after, not even when the world ends"05:24
Arwenand oh well..05:24
Arwenhttp://pastebin.ca/933255 <-- any idea why my sources are lower priority and without a package name?05:38
LaserJockArwen: there's a difference between Sources and Packages05:40
LaserJocklooks like the darnode packages have the highest version05:40
Arwenyes, but the version on my sources are the same.05:41
LaserJockArwen: how do you mean?05:41
Arwenoh wait no, they are at the top. Then why is apt-get pulling the distribution version.05:42
LaserJockdo you have a deb-src line for your darnode repo and are you using any apt pinning?05:42
Arwenboth05:42
Arwenpinned at priority 100105:42
LaserJocknot sure if the pinning would make a difference, I tend to avoid using apt pinning05:44
Arwenbut the more important thing is "apt-get source" doesn't see my source packages05:44
Arwenit's the same with and without pins05:44
LaserJockI would wonder if your repo is set up right05:45
Arwenyeah, it might not be05:45
ArwenI just used falcon05:45
LaserJockhmm05:46
ArwenI don't know enough to debug it though05:46
LaserJockyou could ask Seveas ;-)05:46
Arwenhe has me on ignore05:46
YokoZarWhat's the difference between language code [pl_PL] and [pl] ?05:54
YokoZarSomeone's given me translations for a desktop file like the former and I'm wondering why not do the latter05:54
slangasekthe difference is that a translation listed as pl_PL won't be used when users have their locale set to Polish with a different country code05:55
slangasekso the practical difference is approximately nil05:55
YokoZarSounds like I should use [pl] then as any polish local should translate to polish05:56
slangasekI think so, yes05:57
YokoZarThanks05:57

Hobbseewhat the?07:12
* superm1 is deeply disturbed by scim by default. 07:12
FujitsuWith this morning's upgrade, the system fonts changed to something very strange.07:12

Hobbseeyeah, exactly.  i was about to ponder which one would get purged first on all new installs07:13
superm1i didn't realize it capitalized that whole corner07:13
superm1that means that you can really just say left hand pound + space and get away with it07:14
MithrandirHobbsee: I dodged your click by going into the kitchen.07:14
HobbseeMithrandir: my clicks work across continents.  they're not going to be thwarted by some puny kitchen.07:14
MithrandirHobbsee: X is network transparent, so the former isn't very surprising07:15
Hobbseeouch.  what happened with the fonts?07:20
HobbseeFujitsu: wha'ts the font fix?07:20
FujitsuHobbsee: I like most of the new font.07:20
Hobbseewhat is it?07:20
Hobbseeit's just akregator that looks strange.07:20
FujitsuExcept for the digits being stupid. And the merged fi glyph being too short.07:20
Hobbseeso, it appears that ubuntu doesn't like skim being purged..10:06

HobbseeRAOF: i only updated a couple of hours ago10:28
Hobbseemarcel: that's in the ubuntu mobile FAQ - see the links in #ubuntu-mobile10:28
RAOFHobbsee: Oooh, of course skim != scim.  Silly me.10:29
HobbseeRAOF: i think i was complaining about scim, but yeah10:31
dsargeantScim's been harrassing me all night. How did it get in my system tray and how do I remove it safely?10:38

TomaszDminghua, it's not a new feature, it's a missing feature that needs to be re-added. It's a bug that it doesn't work. User is left with no message when he/she tries to send something, it just fails silently.17:52

geserKeybuk: Hi, do you know if it's possible to fix bug #57755 somehow for hardy? Three (independent) packages have use for the same udev rules but only one can install them.22:57
Keybukerr?22:58
Keybukthat was fixed, wasn't it?22:58
Keybukor did they never agree22:58
Keybukarguably it's irrelevant now22:58
Keybukship a HAL fdi file and PK policy to apply an ACL22:59
geserIIRC the result of the discussion here some months ago was to wait for policykit23:00
geseris there a package where I could look how it should be done?23:00
Amaranth!ping23:00
Amaranthhrm23:00
geserKeybuk: and which package should ship this HAL fdi file?23:01
RAOFIs the amd64 apport retracer on launchpad known-broken?  It's stripped the "need-amd64-retrace" tag from bug #199392 three times now, but hasn't actually done any retracing?23:01
Keybukgeser: whichever package wants it23:02
gesergnupg, gnupg2 and libccid want access to the smartcard reader they support23:03
geserso ship it in every package?23:03
Keybukdoes gnupg not use libccid?23:03
geserno, gnupg{,2} have direct support for some smartcard readers (some SCM ones) and can use others though libpcsclite23:05
geserthat's the problem, if it would depend on libccid, libccid could ship those udev rules (which it already does) and the bug be closed23:07
Keybukso why not just have a common file they can all depend on?23:09
Keybukpitti may not be adverse to those rules being in HAL either23:09
Keybuksince you wouldn't be creating a group, but entries in PK's db23:10
Keybukhurrah for the end of group-per-device :-)23:10
geseris there some good documentation for this somewhere?23:12
Keybukfor which?23:12
geserI mean how HAL and PK work together and how to grant an app access to one specific device23:12
KeybukHAL/PK?23:12
Keybuksee the HAL spec on hal.fd.o23:12
Keybukit's granted by user/session usually23:13
geserdoes it need changes to the app itself or does hald(?) change the permission of the devices itself?23:15
Keybuknot sure why you're worry about the app?23:15
Keybukaccess to devices is granted by user23:15
Keybukhald sets and removes ACLs on the devices23:16
KeybukSystem -> Administration -> Authorizations23:16
Keybukyou'd add something like "Directly access smartcard readers" to it23:16
Keybuk(assumedly under org.freedesktop.hal.device-access)23:16
Keybukyou can grant implicit authorisation to the user on the active console, for example23:17
geserI've never worked with HAL/PK till now, so I don't know yet how all this works23:17
Keybukthis is just for device ACLs23:18
Keybuk(better than device groups)23:18
geserwhat I don't understand yet, who checks the ACLs and allows a user to access the device with e.g. gnupg23:20
geserand does it also work with a normal console login (no X11)?23:22
geserI guess I need to read the HAL documentation first to understand it23:22
Keybukthe filesystem23:24
Keybukgetfacl /dev/snd/controlC023:24
Keybukyou should see a user:geser:rw- in there23:25
slangasekoh, blink, we're using POSIX ACLs?23:26

Amaranthor the service hooked to the other end of policy kit23:45
slangasekthat would seem to require backup software to either run as root instead of disk, or require some sort of PKage for backup packages?23:45
