[02:44] <DanaG> Here's an exercise in sillyness: playing from host system to PulseAudio server in VirtualBox guest....
[02:44] <DanaG> and having VirtualBox outputting to PulseAudio... on the host.
[04:25] <RAOF> DanaG: Not so totally silly; that's how I do my VM sound ;)
[04:25] <DanaG> What I mean is, I was sending the audio from an app on the host.... to be played in the virtual sound card of the guest.
[04:26] <DanaG> Oddly enough, PulseAudio lets you move playback streams "device X for hostname" to different devices!
[04:27] <DanaG> So, I can put "playback on surround51:1 for fedora9" on my front:0.
[04:28] <RAOF> Yup.
[04:28] <RAOF> Slightly crazy, yes.
[04:28] <DanaG> At least the "simultaneous output on $device" thing doesn't let you muck that up anymore.
[04:29] <DanaG> Odd thing to do: guest app on tunnel to host, move stream of tunnel (on host) into to tunnel to guest-> move stream of that tunnel (on guest) back to the host.
[05:33] <DanaG> Argh, I can't print anything!
[05:34] <DanaG> I try to send jobs to the printer, and they claim to complete... but don't actually print.
[20:29] <DanaG> Ooh: http://lwn.net/Articles/284113/
[20:39] <Amaranth> DanaG: haha, that's the driver he said he wrote to get one single button on his HP laptop to work :P
[20:40] <Amaranth> I guess he made it do a bit more
[20:40] <DanaG> I'd been curious about the brightness sensor....
[20:40] <DanaG> I wonder if it'd be usable by gnome-power-manager.
[20:40] <Amaranth> *shrug*
[20:40] <Amaranth> DanaG: You have an HP laptop with an ambient light sensor?
[20:41] <DanaG> Not yet, but come July 14th or so, I'm going to be getting a new laptop -- and it'll most likely be an HP Business one.
[20:42] <Amaranth> I suppose if the driver exposes the information via a standard interface and gnome-power-manager supports doing something with ambient light sensors it would work

[20:51] <h3sp4wn> The HP keyboards are poor quality
[23:15] <Skiessi> why has it been so quiet here recently?
[23:15] <rsk> busy using linux
[23:15] <Pici> its usually pretty quiet until the first alpha hits
