[01:59] <psyke83> hi kwwii, are you there?
[02:01] <DanaG> OOh, wiki now has a transparent-background SVG.  Sweet.
[02:01] <DanaG> Random observation.
=== Dana1 is now known as DanaG
[15:38] <RwL> creating a usplash theme for the first time... anyone have a good reference on how to reposition and/or alter the progress bar?
[15:39] <andreasn> kwwii: ping
[15:40] <andreasn> kwwii: I sent RwL here as I thought you might be more up to date than me on usplash stuff
[15:58] <_MMA_> The Usplash stuff is black-magic. Documentation great at all. Best person to ask is tonic-pushcart or troy_s.
[16:27] <bersace> kwwii: hi
[16:27] <bersace> kwwii: can you merge humanlist ?
[16:56] <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.
[16:59] <kwwii> andreasn, RwL: there is very little good documentation
[17:00] <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
[17:01] <andreasn> now it's all gone
[17:01] <kwwii> :-)
[17:01] <kwwii> it is not that hard if you know what not to do ;-)
[17:02] <andreasn> hehe
[17:03] <kwwii> bersace: not sure, it might be too late for me to update anything
[17:05] <bersace> :(
[17:10] <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.
[17:12] <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
[17:13] <RwL> and I get this:
[17:14] <RwL> usplash-artwork.c:1: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'has'
[17:14] <DanaG> Cool, so you are changing the usplash theme?  Sweet.
[17:19] <_MMA_> andreasn: hehe http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3038/2405289552_fdef210458.jpg?v=0
[17:25] <kwwii> RwL: hrm, not too much experience with building the theme
[17:26] <RwL> no sweat. Just learned that that c compiler error was because I used pngtobogl (supports 16 colors) instead of pngtousplash (supports 256), apparently
[17:27] <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]
[17:29] <_MMA_> savvas: That has nothing to do with the theme and should be removed from the art team.
[17:30] <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
[17:31] <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
[17:32] <_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
[17:33] <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)
[17:34] <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.
[17:35] <_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
[17:42] <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
[17:43] <savvas> then I switched it using screens and graphics and autodetected the monitor, set resolution 1152x864, logged off, and it showed the problem again
[17:46] <_MMA_> savvas: Did you try by *just* setting the driver to "nvidia"?
[17:46] <_MMA_> Don't set the screen res.
[17:47] <savvas> mmm give me one more minute then :)
[17:48] <savvas> _MMA_: through screens and graphics?
[17:49] <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.
[17:50] <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. ;)
[17:51] <savvas> http://pastebin.ca/raw/988436
[17:51] <_MMA_> Try this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63547
[17:52] <_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
[17:53] <_MMA_> That should surely narrow it down to the driver.
[17:54] <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.
[17:56] <_MMA_> So please report the findings to the bug and kwwii can get someone to close it.
[18:01] <DanaG> Oh yeah, this usplash theme you're compiling... do you have a screenshot anywhere?
[18:02] <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
[18:03] <DanaG> I then moved the window and it expanded -- but the theme did not!
[18:03] <DanaG> So something is definitely odd there.
[18:04] <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.
[18:05] <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
[18:06] <_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?
[18:07] <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.
[18:08] <kwwii> as for xephyr I have no idea how to define the resolution
[18:08] <kwwii> and I have looked and asked people
[18:12] <DanaG> xephyr itself has a resolution parameter, but it seems gdmflexiserver doesn't expose it.
[18:16] <savvas> well.. another day, another problem resolved :P
[19:34]  * _MMA_ tinkers with GIMP 2.5.
[21:30] <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...
[21:37] <_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.
[21:38] <_MMA_> Tou mean the background color. That's a Gutsy bug.
[21:39] <_MMA_> *You
[21:45] <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!
