| psyke83 | hi kwwii, are you there? | 01:59 |
|---|---|---|
| DanaG | OOh, wiki now has a transparent-background SVG. Sweet. | 02:01 |
| DanaG | Random observation. | 02:01 |
| === Dana1 is now known as DanaG | ||
| RwL | creating a usplash theme for the first time... anyone have a good reference on how to reposition and/or alter the progress bar? | 15:38 |
| andreasn | kwwii: ping | 15:39 |
| andreasn | kwwii: I sent RwL here as I thought you might be more up to date than me on usplash stuff | 15:40 |
| _MMA_ | The Usplash stuff is black-magic. Documentation great at all. Best person to ask is tonic-pushcart or troy_s. | 15:58 |
| bersace | kwwii: hi | 16:27 |
| bersace | kwwii: can you merge humanlist ? | 16:27 |
| DanaG | Hmm, I've found the wallpaper I'll probably use: the one linked to just above the "gdm theme" preview. | 16:56 |
| DanaG | Oddly enough, there's no explicit mention of that wallpaper itself. | 16:56 |
| kwwii | andreasn, RwL: there is very little good documentation | 16:59 |
| kwwii | RwL: I can help with creating the right kind of theme | 17:00 |
| andreasn | yeah, I thought so as well... I wish I had written down how I last did it | 17:00 |
| andreasn | now it's all gone | 17:01 |
| kwwii | :-) | 17:01 |
| kwwii | it is not that hard if you know what not to do ;-) | 17:01 |
| andreasn | hehe | 17:02 |
| kwwii | bersace: not sure, it might be too late for me to update anything | 17:03 |
| bersace | :( | 17:05 |
| RwL | kwwii: thanks... yeah, all I really want to do at this point is move the progress bar down a bit to accommodate a design that was handed off to me to build. | 17:10 |
| RwL | but I'm actually failing to create a test version too... | 17:12 |
| RwL | I run this... gcc -Os -g -I/usr/include/bogl -fPIC -c usplash-artwork.c -o usplash-artwork.o | 17:12 |
| RwL | gcc -shared -Wl,-soname,usplash-artwork.so usplash-artwork.o -o yourimage-splash.so | 17:12 |
| RwL | and I get this: | 17:13 |
| RwL | usplash-artwork.c:1: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'has' | 17:14 |
| DanaG | Cool, so you are changing the usplash theme? Sweet. | 17:14 |
| _MMA_ | andreasn: hehe http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3038/2405289552_fdef210458.jpg?v=0 | 17:19 |
| kwwii | RwL: hrm, not too much experience with building the theme | 17:25 |
| RwL | no sweat. Just learned that that c compiler error was because I used pngtobogl (supports 16 colors) instead of pngtousplash (supports 256), apparently | 17:26 |
| savvas | kwwii: do you know who should I poke for this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/human-theme/+bug/150938 | 17:27 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 150938 in human-theme "Screen resolution problems at login screen" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 17:27 |
| _MMA_ | savvas: That has nothing to do with the theme and should be removed from the art team. | 17:29 |
| kwwii | savvas: yeah, the gdm maintainer I guess | 17:30 |
| savvas | oops | 17:30 |
| kwwii | or X maintainer | 17:30 |
| kwwii | perhaps | 17:30 |
| _MMA_ | If anything that Xorg is out of wack. WHo puts in a modline that's hirer than the res of their monitor? | 17:30 |
| savvas | ok thanks | 17:30 |
| kwwii | sorry I couldn't be of more help | 17:31 |
| savvas | _MMA_: this is my xorg: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13415250/xorg.conf | 17:31 |
| * _MMA_ looks | 17:31 | |
| savvas | or at least was, i cleared those sections, like Section "monitor" # etc | 17:31 |
| _MMA_ | savvas: And the gdm is displayed at a higher res than yout monitor does? | 17:32 |
| savvas | um... | 17:32 |
| savvas | i think it's lower | 17:32 |
| savvas | it has hidden the options such as shutdown or restart | 17:32 |
| savvas | i took two pics with my mobile: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13415263/login-window-screenshots.zip | 17:33 |
| _MMA_ | Ill look at your screenshots. But Im gonna say this is most likely gonna be an X issue. | 17:33 |
| kwwii | seems like a problem specific to nvidia cards (again) | 17:33 |
| savvas | ok, i'll remove the art team while you do that :) | 17:34 |
| _MMA_ | savvas: If this is Hardy, backup you config, and deleate the xorg.conf. | 17:34 |
| _MMA_ | Let the new X do all the magic. | 17:35 |
| kwwii | savvas: did you try removing the virtual resolution only? | 17:35 |
| _MMA_ | See what happens. | 17:35 |
| savvas | kwwii: did that, didn't help :\ | 17:35 |
| kwwii | hrm | 17:35 |
| savvas | i'll try what _MMA_ said | 17:35 |
| savvas | gimme a minute | 17:35 |
| savvas | er.. | 17:42 |
| savvas | kwwii is right, looks like it's nvidia | 17:42 |
| savvas | i did what _MMA_ said, it showed up fine, i think it was using the nv driver | 17:42 |
| savvas | then I switched it using screens and graphics and autodetected the monitor, set resolution 1152x864, logged off, and it showed the problem again | 17:43 |
| _MMA_ | savvas: Did you try by *just* setting the driver to "nvidia"? | 17:46 |
| _MMA_ | Don't set the screen res. | 17:46 |
| savvas | mmm give me one more minute then :) | 17:47 |
| savvas | _MMA_: through screens and graphics? | 17:48 |
| savvas | $ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 17:49 |
| savvas | cat: /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory | 17:49 |
| _MMA_ | kwwii: Boo... https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2008-April/003888.html re: Bug 211740 | 17:49 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 211740 in ubuntu-gdm-themes "Hardy: Ubuntu login screen art has brightnes increased" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/211740 | 17:49 |
| _MMA_ | kwwii: Smack 'em. | 17:49 |
| _MMA_ | savvas: Ill post a base xorg for you. | 17:49 |
| savvas | dpkg-reconfigure won't do? :\ | 17:50 |
| _MMA_ | Well, should. | 17:50 |
| savvas | ok wait | 17:50 |
| _MMA_ | Didnt know how much you knew. ;) | 17:50 |
| savvas | http://pastebin.ca/raw/988436 | 17:51 |
| _MMA_ | Try this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63547 | 17:51 |
| _MMA_ | I get nothing from your link. | 17:52 |
| savvas | ah well never mind, i'll use yours | 17:52 |
| savvas | they look the same | 17:52 |
| savvas | just the driver line | 17:52 |
| _MMA_ | That should surely narrow it down to the driver. | 17:53 |
| savvas | okay, it shows ok | 17:54 |
| savvas | the options at the lower corner of the screen is shown now | 17:54 |
| _MMA_ | So if it shows fine, it's most likely your config. | 17:54 |
| _MMA_ | So please report the findings to the bug and kwwii can get someone to close it. | 17:56 |
| DanaG | Oh yeah, this usplash theme you're compiling... do you have a screenshot anywhere? | 18:01 |
| andreasn | _MMA_: glad you like it. It was quite a success at the costume party | 18:02 |
| DanaG | Oh yeah, something odd.... | 18:02 |
| _MMA_ | andreasn: Seeexxxy. :P | 18:02 |
| DanaG | I just ran gdmflexiserver --xnest, and the login theme started at the original small size of the window. | 18:02 |
| andreasn | heh | 18:02 |
| DanaG | I then moved the window and it expanded -- but the theme did not! | 18:03 |
| DanaG | So something is definitely odd there. | 18:03 |
| savvas | http://pastebin.ubuntu-nl.org/63548/plain/ | 18:04 |
| savvas | I used nvidia-settings and now it's ok | 18:04 |
| _MMA_ | savvas: Cool. | 18:04 |
| kwwii | DanaG: that is the normal behavior, nothing to freak out about | 18:05 |
| DanaG | It used to be the other way around: | 18:05 |
| DanaG | The window would start small, but the theme would start large. | 18:05 |
| savvas | _MMA_: thanks for your time :) I'll go post the results right away | 18:05 |
| _MMA_ | np | 18:05 |
| _MMA_ | DanaG: Things change. | 18:06 |
| DanaG | How do you specify resolution for gdmflexiserver in xnest, anyway? | 18:06 |
| DanaG | So they've just changed the normal behavior? That works for me. I just wasn't expecting it. | 18:06 |
| kwwii | if it still uses xnest there is a variable you can define | 18:06 |
| _MMA_ | DanaG: Dont know. Time to look up some documenttion maybe? | 18:06 |
| kwwii | it was using xephyr on my machine | 18:07 |
| DanaG | Same here. | 18:07 |
| kwwii | google it and there is a forum page about xnest and other info | 18:07 |
| kwwii | if it uses xephyr why are you asking about xnest? | 18:07 |
| DanaG | Oh, I made a mistake there. | 18:07 |
| kwwii | as for xephyr I have no idea how to define the resolution | 18:08 |
| kwwii | and I have looked and asked people | 18:08 |
| DanaG | xephyr itself has a resolution parameter, but it seems gdmflexiserver doesn't expose it. | 18:12 |
| savvas | well.. another day, another problem resolved :P | 18:16 |
| * _MMA_ tinkers with GIMP 2.5. | 19:34 | |
| RwL | happy: i got my custom usplash screen and GDM theme finished up. But how come, after login, it goes to a ubuntu-standard orange/brown screen before it loads my desktop wallpaper? Any way to change that? I set a different background color via Login Window preferences... | 21:30 |
| _MMA_ | RwL: You have to be sure to purge the old one. | 21:37 |
| _MMA_ | 1 sec. | 21:37 |
| _MMA_ | RwL: Oh no wait. I miss-read. | 21:37 |
| _MMA_ | Tou mean the background color. That's a Gutsy bug. | 21:38 |
| _MMA_ | *You | 21:39 |
| RwL | _MMA_: Thanks! Got any links to info on the bug? I'll need to show it to someone else :^p | 21:45 |
| _MMA_ | No. I just know its gone in Hardy. | 21:45 |
| _MMA_ | It was a GDM bug. | 21:45 |
| RwL | ok, thanks again! | 21:45 |
