Bodsdawhere can i find out the new features being added to intrepid?03:47
Bodsdano one alive?04:00
RAOFBodsda: Oh, people alive.  It's just that those haven't been decided yet.04:00
Bodsdahey RAOF -- lol,.,.ok cheers04:01
DanaGHmm, something I'm pondering doing over summer: hacking together pavucontrol and pavumeter into one control-and-monitor applet.04:02
DanaGer, application.04:02
RAOFDanaG: Oooh, please.04:02
RAOFAnd then hook it up to the gnome-volume-control applet!04:02
DanaGI currently don04:02
DanaGI currently don't know any GTK programming... but hey, I'll try to teach myself.04:02
RAOFPygtk is pretty awesome; gtk# isn't bad, either.04:03
RAOFDon't bother touching C, it's crap at UI :)04:03
DanaGHmm, I currrently know just C and Java... I'll have to learn something else there, then.04:04
RAOFOh, well if you're _comfortable_ in C, that's OK.04:04
DanaGI haven04:04
DanaGARGH, /me curses at the enter key04:04
RAOFIt's just not a particularly appropriate language for UIs :)04:04
DanaGI haven't done any UI stuff in C yet, anyway.04:04
RAOFGTK is both complicated and simple, but it's nice in that you basically just hook everything up to a callback and call gtk.main()04:05
RAOFAhem.  gtk_main()04:05
DanaGI'd probably just be merging the two apps from existing code -- and then adding things like per-app volume meters.  That would be nifty.04:06
RAOFIt's not so painful as Win32 and it's message-parsing-loop.04:06
DanaGI was also considering the option of a Windows PulseAudio driver for my future Senior Project, but that may be a bit too ambitious... considering I haven't done any Windows programming stuff since I entered Cal Poly -- and then before that was VB6... ugh.04:07
DanaGAnd I don't know if a virtual sound card driver could even separate apps from each other.04:07
RAOFDanaG: You mean a virtual driver, so it goes app -> pulse-shim -> pulseaudio server -> real audio driver?04:08
DanaGYeah.  I'd want to do the same thing libpcm-pulse.so does in Linux.04:08
RAOFYou obviously can get per-app streams on Vista, but who knows on XP.04:08
DanaGI'd actually target at Vista, frankly.  It probably has more support infrastructure.04:09
RAOFYou're aware that the pulseaudio server is ported to windows and osx, right?04:09
DanaGGood luck getting it signed, though.... that's why I don't buy any DRMed stuff.04:09
DanaGYeah, but playback-only server isn't what I'm after.04:09
DanaGThe ideal thing would be to have the same capabilities on both platforms.04:10
DanaGThat reminds me... PulseAudio needs a better way to say, "Use this sound card in surround.... use that other card in stereo."04:10
RAOFYeah.  Oh, crap, yes.  No signed drivers for you!04:10
RAOFSo audio/video degredation, can't work on x86-64...04:10
DanaGUbuntu Hardy is now my primary OS.  There are a few very major reasons, besides the open-source philosophy:04:11
DanaGFont rendering -- Linux is awesome, Cleartype is painful (subjectively).  Audio -- PulseAudio, 'nuff said.  And no Creative drivers.  Touchpad: all sorts of nifty features there.04:12
DanaGI think Valve's "Source" games are approximately my last must-have Windows app.04:13
=== gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak
RAOFMany of which run in Wine, and did you see the 'maybe Valve is porting Steam+Source to linux' rumours?04:14
RAOFBut yeah, a Wintendo is still necessary for PC gaming.04:14
DanaGThe only app I use that uses EAX effects as a key part: Uru.  That game has amazing audio -- but not much replay value.  Too bad the "Host OpenAL" thingy doesn't work in Wine.04:15
DanaGI hope "Intrepid" will have something as definitive as the Heron for Hardy -- and hopefully, something that will let me stop thinking of CARS.04:16
* RAOF hasn't seen that.04:20
RAOFI hope someone does an awesome mountain goat.04:20
RAOFOr possibly we just have a photo of that guy :)04:20
BHSPitLappygross04:20
RAOFBHSPitLappy: Dirty.  Go away.04:20
RAOF:P04:20
BHSPitLappyWhat?  What did I say?04:20
BHSPitLappyI was talking about Vista!04:21
RAOFOh.  I thought you were talking about mountain goats.04:21
DanaGSo did I.04:21
BHSPitLappyI can't believe they went with "Ibex".  I thought for sure 7.10 was going to be Gutsy Goatse.04:22
RAOFDanaG: Wasn't Uru that "we've done awesome real acoustic physics" thing?04:22
DanaGIt's still just EAX (preset reverb parameters, but with smooth transitions between zones.)04:22
RAOFMe too.  Iguanas are much cooler than goats.04:22
DanaGCall me back when we do what Aureal did: simulate real physics with a low-poly secondary model.04:23
DanaGHmm, what Windows-only apps do I use? .......................... umm ........................... uhh .................... ... Oh, Steam.  That's about it.04:23
RAOFI suppose SUSE has already taken the Iguana/Chameleon mascot, though.04:23
DanaGOh, and a BIOS updater.04:23
RAOFHeh.  I finally managed to update my bios.04:23
DanaGWinPhlash?04:24
DanaGheh: Forty Phlashes for Phyou.04:24
DanaGHey, it's fun spelling things like that.04:24
DanaGAnother odd thing: if PulseAudio dies, it fails to grab the surround51:1 device the next time -- it says it's busy.04:26
DanaGI have to remove the card, unload the module (udev rule to the rescue!), and then reinsert the card.04:26
BHSPitLappyDanaG, Steam works in wine though04:26
RAOFBHSPitLappy: But not all the games do.04:27
BHSPitLappyPortal does :D04:27
DanaGBut HL2 with a 128MB GeForce Go 7600 is a bit unpleasant.04:27
DanaGSlower than under Vista, even windowed with DWM active.04:27
DanaGFull screen in Vista..... whee, let's page out the desktop!04:27
DanaGOh yeah, one random question:  I used to be able to ctrl-alt-± to switch resolutions; what happened to that feature?  I haven't seen it since I last used SuSE 9.3, or somewhere around then (could've been 10.1.).04:53
DanaGWine likes trampling on my screen resolution.04:53
hroihello06:07
hroiI wonder if anyone can answer a short question regarding the linux kernel on Ubuntu...06:09
hroi"I want to download the latest kernel.org kernel and run it on my ubuntu install"06:10
hroiwill that screw everything up?06:10
hroiI've had bad experience with distros before06:10
hroinot with Slackware06:10
hroibut with distros like suse06:10
hroi...06:10
DanaG#ubuntu+1 is for Intrepid; try the regular #ubuntu06:11
DanaGIntrepid is quite a while away right now.06:11
hroiDanaG, sorry... just the ubuntu channel people seem never have heard of downloading the vanilla kernel06:11
hroithey all use apt-get06:12
DanaGAah.06:12
DanaG!kernel06:12
ubottuThe core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages06:12
DanaGThe make-kpkg method is what I did when I compiled my own kernels; I haven't lately had a need to do so.06:12
hroiubottu,  it's fun and nice to trim down the kernel,  and I feel better knowing it's the kernel.org one06:13
ubottuhroi: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)06:13
hroihehe06:13
hroiwow intelligent bot!!06:14
hroithanks DanaG i'll look at that,  before on slackware I just downloaded the source, and essentially: make menuconfig and make06:15
hroialways worked great06:15
DanaGUsing kpkg makes it far easier to maintain.06:16
hroiexcept if some driver became incompatible...06:16
hroiok06:16
hroibest I'll try to get into how that works06:16
hroiok I c.   this is an autmated script from debian... sounds nice.06:17
DanaGOh, and if you want to pass -j to it, export a "CONCURRENCY_LEVEL" variable.06:19
hroiok06:25
hroiexit06:27
DanaGLike, export CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=406:27

anon111I was wondering if, in Intrepid, if it would be possible to have the Windows key be the <Super> key by default? I don't know if this is my computer (in which case I'll file a bug report) or if it is the default behaviour. I had to go to Keyboard settings to change it.18:09
jbroome__i wondered why #ubuntu was so quiet... I was on oftc.  der18:14
oxigenanon111: did you try to change it in: System > Windows?18:15
oxigenSystem > Preferences > Windows that is..18:17
anon111Sorry if I was unclear. In Compiz, some of the defaults involve the "Super" key. When I pressed the "Windows logo" key on my keyboard, it didn't work. I had to go to System > Preferences > Keyboard to activate it.18:25
