slomo_*sigh* so hardy doesn't install recommends by default... giving quite a few bugs on banshee because it only supports ipods if a recommended package is installed08:12
slomo_didn't hardy install recommends by default in the beginning?!08:12
mvono, never did08:12
mvoonly for meta-packages08:12
mvo(recommends for ubuntu-desktop were installed for example)08:13

HobbseeAmaranth: so, if on a dist-upgrade, a video card gets blacklisted against compiz, is that a bug or a feature?12:42
Amaranthah, you have an ati laptop12:43
Amaranthwell if you file a bug i'll dupe it to the one closed Won't Fix so...12:43
HobbseeAmaranth: so, what is my friend to do, who quite likes her effects, and doesn't want them gone?12:44
Amaranthuse fglrx or SKIP_CHECKS=yes in ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager12:45
=== seb128_ is now known as seb128
HobbseeAmaranth: where are the instructions for that for a user, not a dev?12:53
Amaranththere are none because there is a reason we blocked it12:54
AmaranthIf you figure out enough to get to SKIP_CHECKS you know enough to know not to report bugs, I hope.12:54
Hobbseeso which fglrx does she need to use, and why wasn't it installed with the dist-upgrade?13:00
HobbseeAmaranth: ^13:00
Amaranth1) fglrx only works with r300 and newer (so 9200 and older are out) and 2) it is just as likely to break suspend as fix compiz13:01
AmaranthYes, this is technically a regression from 7.10 but I'd rather have people complain about losing their effects then complain about not-so-random lockups that cause dataloss13:02
AmaranthSeeing how this is an LTS and lots of people will not be upgrading when 8.10 comes out and fixes the problem13:02
HobbseeAmaranth: was this release noted anywhere?13:06
AmaranthProbably not13:06
HobbseeWhy not?13:07
HobbseeAmaranth: it definetly doesn't look release noted.13:08
AmaranthBecause I didn't think losing special effects was worse it, I guess13:09
Hobbseehmmm.  how many user questions have there been about no more effects, and how to get them back, i wonder...13:10
Hobbseeanyway, will tell the friend13:10
=== fta_ is now known as fta
Amaranthhttp://cgit.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/drm/log/?h=r345-cleanup <--the work we need to get these cards enabled again13:16
Amaranthtoo bad that didn't happen a month ago :/13:17
shashi I am using Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit version, if i install any 32-bit applications like browsers, datbase clients ...etc. The 32-bit based applications not able to reach /etc/resolv.conf file to communicate to the network. Any one tell me how to resolve this issue ?13:42
HobbseeAmaranth: right.  SRU'able, or?13:42
AmaranthHobbsee: Up to bryce13:42
HobbseeAmaranth: *nod*13:42
Amaranthand may not fix our issues, he was having people try out some patches before13:42
Amaranthand i think those are the patches13:43
Hobbseeshashi: see what i said to you in #ubuntu-devel13:43
HobbseeAmaranth: ahhh13:43

mvoAmaranth: *cough* intrepid17:56
Amarantheh?17:56
AmaranthOh, you mean don't call it 8.10?17:56
AmaranthIf we miss the release date I'll go back and rename it :)17:57
Amaranthhardy sounded cool, intrepid just doesn't have the same feeling17:58
mvoany anyone think of a reason why gtk.events_pending() might hang?18:13
=== asac_ is now known as asac
mvoseb128: can you think of any reason why "while (gtk_events_pending()) gtk_main_iteration();" might hang? in python-gtk, but I don't think that this matters19:21
