mrooneywhat is the package for bugs in the "Add/Remove" application? is that actually synaptic?04:46
Flannelmrooney: no, uh... shoot, I know this.04:46
mrooneyhaha, can't remember Flannel?04:52
mrooneylooks like gnome-app-install04:59
persiamrooney: For GNOME, it is gnome-app-install05:00
Tuv0kfor crying out loud, I have been trying to unsubscribe to bug reports but launchpad keeps saying I'm not allowed here?05:04
mrooneyhaha, you are forced to subscribe?05:06
mrooneyby the way would anyone mind marking bug 209072 as Low priority for me?05:07

danue1Can someone help?10:16
qensehello10:31
=== dodger_ is now known as Hurtz
qensemaybe we should start a wiki page or brainstorm like site where we can brainstorm about how to get upstream involved11:17
qense(more involved actually)11:17
qensea way to get developers, bug triagers and ideas upstream and here, downstream11:17
qenseBrainstorm has published it code, we could use that11:18
persiaMany upstreams are involved, in one way or another.11:21
persiaCommon things are:11:21
persia* Upstreams having a bug contact who subscribes to LP bugs11:21
persia* Upstreams having a close relationship with a Debian maintainer who follows LP bugs11:22
persia* Upstreams having a good bug tracker that integrates well with LP11:22
qenseI know that11:24
qensebut they aren't very visible and the upstream contacts don't have very much rights on their package11:24
qenseand of course we need to have contact with more than just Debian11:25
qensebrainstorm contains a lot of ideas that aren't about Ubuntu or Brainstorm11:25
persiaI agree about multiplicity of contacts, but the special relationship with Debian often means that is a very good path, as the Debian maintainer is often involved with upstream.11:26
=== thekorn_ is now known as thekorn
persiaFor permissions, that's a harder issue.  How are upstreams validated, as compared to the general public?  How should they request rights?  Would it be granted on a per-package basis?11:26
persiaRegarding brainstorm, there are always lots of ideas.  Most just take someone to do it.  Can be upstream or downstream, really.11:27
qenseand also a lot of things that are written here could benefit projects like GNOME or other distribtutions very much11:29
persiaTrue.  Essentially it needs someone to convert an idea into a spec, a spec into a patch, a patch into a revision, and the revision into a release.  Each step typically requires significant effort.11:33
persiaWhile asking upstreams to look at brainstorm may help, I tend to believe the best way to handle these is for interested parties to push something to the next step.11:33
danuelAnyone know what to do in 8.04 for problems with video card resolutions?11:33
danuelxorg.conf doesn't seem to control resolution.  RandR doesn't recognize the correct resolutions (xrandr -q)11:34
persiaFor things on brainstorm, that would be generally writing up the correct behaviour in a clear and useful way (spec), and getting it to the developers (upstream enhancement request or distro spec, depending).11:34
persiadanuel: You may have better luck in #ubuntu+1, although you may have discovered a bug related to your specific hardware, in which case the X maintainers would probably like to get a bug report detailing what went wrong, how it went wrong, along with your configuration files and logs.11:35
qensethere is also #ubuntu-x for...11:36
qenseX issues11:36
danuelI'm new to Ubuntu, ... -x is for X11? and +1 is for ?11:36
qense+1 is for the development release11:37
danuelI see. Thanks11:37
affluxmorning12:06
qensehello12:06
affluxhuh, I broke bzr12:07
affluxhow embarrasing12:07
qensein what way?12:07
affluxlocks12:07
qenseah12:07
qenseyou can use the ssh:// protocol in launchpad to surf to it12:08
qenseand delete the lock files12:08
afflux"Unable to obtain lock file:///home/k/.5-a-day-data/.bzr/branch/lock held by fnord@pentabarf.de on host hegg [process #26877] locked 13 hours, 20 minutes ago"12:08
affluxyep, I break-lock'ed it12:08
affluxerr, no. it didn't work12:09
qensesomeone did commit something to the repository12:11
qensemaybe you have to delete your own lock files12:12
qenseif there are any12:12
danuelqense, the nvidia-glx-new and nvidia-xconfig worked.  Thanks.12:13
qenseok12:13
danuelThe only reminaing issue is wireless, broadcom BCM4310 ... any thoughts on that?12:14
qenseyou could search at ubuntuforums.org12:14
qenseweird btw :) at #ubuntu+1 there is a discussion about how to report a bug and here a support question :P12:14
danuel;)12:15
eternal_fizzer hello - complete newbie - I'm running Ubuntu 7.04 - firefox died & won't restart, tried opening update manager, it says software index broken, so opened Synaptic update manager, and tried "fix broken packages" but same problems.12:21
persiaeternal_fizzer: Sounds like you have a corrupt package cache.  You likely want #ubuntu to get someone to help you clean it up.12:24
eternal_fizzerthanks - I'll try there12:25
qensehello again12:49
affluxwelcome back qense12:49
affluxthe message about the bzr log was wrong, I just removed and re-pulled the whole branch and now everything works12:49

ubotuLaunchpad bug 187274 in network-manager "network interface doesnt come up on boot when static ip set" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/18727414:02
penguin42I'd like to suggest that #187274 get raised above 'low' - it's also marked as low even though it causes GPM to take all RAM14:05
penguin42it is marked as 'fixed released' but it's still happening14:06
penguin42sorry, that's 19668814:06
penguin42bug 19668814:10
ubotuLaunchpad bug 196688 in gnome-power-manager "GPM in Hardy seems to have a memory leak" [Low,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/19668814:10
pochupenguin42: you can start reopening it14:10
pochupenguin42: I'll do it14:11
penguin42pochu: For reference what's the right way to do that?14:14
penguin42it's possible of course it is a different leak; all the latest ones seem to be related to doing things to audio (which is what bit me) - but having GPM eat all your RAM is a bit nasty14:15
pochuof course it is14:15
pochupenguin42: click on the arrow next to the status or importance or the package name, and change the Status to Confirmed (or whatever fits better)14:16
pochuI've already done it and milestoned it for Hardy14:16
pochuwe will have 2.22.1 in, so hopefully it's better than 2.22.014:17
penguin42ah ok, back to confirmed14:17
penguin42pochu: Thanks14:18
pochu(I already changed the status BTW)14:18
penguin42The actual upgrade to Hardy has been the cleanest I've had in a long time - only immediate problem was nspluginwrapper not putting links in the right place (which was a known issue) - but coming back from hibernate it's not a happy bunny; that gpm  problem, netowkring not coming back and I'm not 100% convinced audio is right14:19
pochunetwork -> I think it's being worked on (look at network-manager bugs)14:20
penguin42yeh; it's the 187274 I mentioned above I think14:21

virtualdglxinfo says i got no direct rendering even though Xorg.0.log says DRI loads, using the nvidia binary drivers. is there any hope?14:42
virtualdbtw i'm on hardy14:50
secretlondon#ubuntu+1 is a better place for hardy support14:50
virtualdok. i didn't know, and i didn't get more of an answer than that's the problem with compiz using all available cpu time14:52
virtualdalso gnome-settings-daemon crashes on startup, but i don't know what to include in a bug report14:53

=== sl_fail is now known as secretlondon
affluxjust logged into my gnome/hardy account, and my panels were all grey, took about three minutes until they showed up with the applets and starters and so on17:56
affluxwhen they were grey, .xsession-errors showed "(gnome-panel:7061): CRITICAL **: panel_applet_frame_change_background: assertion `PANEL_IS_WIDGET (GTK_WIDGET (frame)->parent)' failed"17:57
affluxwhen they finished,"(gnome-panel:7061): Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to allocate widget with width -5 and height 24" was the only "new" line17:57
mrooneyafflux: oh yeah that is a new feature18:05
affluxah, cool :)18:06
mrooneylots of complaints about panels loading too fast and not giving enough error messages18:06
affluxright, so you slowed it a bit?18:06
affluxcool, I was wandering when this will be implemented!18:06
mrooneyyup, no problem!18:06
secretlondonpanels loading too fast??18:06
affluxyep, I was wandering. right. wondering of course ;)18:06
secretlondonso booting time deliberately slowed??18:06
mrooneyhaha secretlondon I was being extremely sarcastic, I have no idea18:07
secretlondonright..18:07
affluxI even seem to be too slow to get a panel running in gdb.18:08
secretlondonis something using all cpu like e-d-s or xorg?18:09
secretlondon(there are bugs on both of those about that)18:09
affluxhm, don't know18:09
affluxwhen restarting the panel right now, it works as usual18:10
crimsunkilling the panel(s) doesn't appear to give me the n-m-gnome icon back.  Hmph.18:13
affluxoh, yes. this is missing18:13
crimsunthen again, I'm using neither metacity nor compiz, so my spouting off is likely discounted ;)18:14
affluxargh! some jumpy reporter is asking every third second whether or not or why or when or who will sponsor his trivial patch to the archives ("will we get it into hardy? will we? will we? will we?")18:17
mrooneyI wonder what to do with bug 209292, I feel like I read about this somewhere else, maybe a blueprint or something, hmmm18:38
