weirdbrohas anyone thought of integrating the Application Launcher menu with other programs that need to choose applications?02:13
weirdbroIts just seems really silly to me that for Sessions, to add a new startup program, users need to find the binary file/terminal command02:14
weirdbrowhen there's already a menu to do what they most likely want02:14
diogoI really want to know why FGLRX 8.7 has better performance on blender when using ubuntu than on other distros... is this because of xorg... of patches...02:40
diogo?02:41
RAOFdiogo: We can't patch the driver, obviously (barring totally crazy binary patching).02:43
RAOFdiogo: apt-get source on the various components will get you the source package that the binaries are built from; I don't know of any specific "make fglrx magically faster" patches we apply, though.02:44
diogoits just that it seems as fast as windows... and the other distros don't have this "fastness"02:45
diogoits weird... I really like conary for example but rpath and foresight1s has not been so fast as ubuntu's xorg02:46
LaserJockanybody know of a bug about audio "crackling" in Intrepid, even if volumes are muted?02:46
RAOFLaserJock: No, but that sounds pretty cool.02:47
LaserJockRAOF: rather annoying is more like it ;-)02:48
LaserJockeverybody looks at me funny when I start up Intrepid02:49
diogothis is radio intererence I had it on my pc too... some sound cards has the "ability" of crackling when a frequency passes through it... this is a hardware thing... at least my case were02:49
RAOFOh, you mean on _startup_?02:49
RAOFYeah, I hear that.02:50
LaserJockRAOF: well, it starts at the gdm login02:50
RAOFOn alsa init.02:50
RAOFAh, no, not than.02:50
RAOFs/n./t./02:50
LaserJockRAOF: and then thereafter any sound event get's a crackle02:50
LaserJockit's over the top of the intended sound02:50
LaserJockbut when I mute the device I still get the crackle02:51
RAOFWicked.  How are you muting the device?02:51
LaserJockjust in the gnome volume control02:52
RAOFI wonder if: (a) You've accidentally set the 'combine sinks to create one big virtual sink' option, then (b) pulseaudio is picking up pcspk, and (c) the default sink has somehow been set to the virtual combined sink?02:53
LaserJockRAOF: well, this is off a fresh install of Alpha2 I believe02:57
LaserJockso I'm fairly certain it's not something I did intentionally02:57
LaserJockbut I can perhaps look around to see if something like that has happened02:57

tanathi was wondering what intrepid would look like booting up, but didn't get to see. that was a while ago. still haven't seen what it looks like :P03:32
RAOFLooks exactly like hardy, once you've got the fixed usplash.03:32
tanathah03:32
tanathwell the 'fixed' usplash may be what got me the blank screen as opposed to no output03:33
Fjodortanath: Your problem also sounds like what I used to see when the wrong framebuffer console driver got loaded. To test, you might want to compile your own kernel, either without framebuffer console support, or with just vesa or the one you should be using...04:27

=== tkamppeter_ is now known as tkamppeter
tkamppeterpitti, hi07:22
nxvlhi all!07:24
pittihi tkamppeter07:33
tkamppeterpitti, I have succeeded now to get the hal-cups-utils work with and without usblp now.07:39
pittitkamppeter: rocking! did you patch hal, or just h-c-u?07:39
pittitkamppeter: btw, I got your mails, but didn't catch up with them yet07:39
tkamppeterThere is only one small problem:07:39
tkamppeterI patched only h-c-u.07:39
tkamppeterWhen there is no usblp I trigger the script by the USB interface entry. With interface class 7 and subclass 1 I have a printer,07:41
tkamppeterThere is no device ID in the HAL DB then. So I poll the ID from the printer using libusb.07:42
ograno way to get it out of sysfs ?07:42
tkamppeterThis makes creating queues with the correct PPD, recognizing that there is already a queue, and re-enabling queues working as well as before.07:43
tkamppeterpitti, problem is on turning off the printer. From a printer turned off I cannot poll the ID. I must use what got into the HAL database while the printer was on.07:44
tkamppeterHere I can at best get manufacturer and model name as shown by lsusb (which is not as perfect as from the device ID) and the serial number (which is not reported by all printers).07:46
pittitkamppeter: hm, that sounds odd; even with usblp, the device disappears from hal once you turn your printer off07:46
pittitkamppeter: frankly, if the user turns off the printer while autodetection is in progress, I'd just silently exit07:46
tkamppeterpitti, but with usblp the HAL database contains the device ID and it seems that the complete HAL database entry is sent to the scripts (as env variables) which a removal event happens.07:48
tkamppeterpitti, I am not treating queue setup here but disabling the queue when the printer is turned off.07:48
pittitkamppeter: hm, doesn't cups care about this already?07:49
pittitkamppeter: also, why does the queue need to be disabled?07:49
pittiif the printer is off, documents should just be kept in the spooler until it is turned on again?07:49
tkamppeterpitti, no, CUPS does not disable queues on turning off printers.07:49
Mithrandirwhy would you care about disabling the queue?  CUPS notices it can't send anything to the printer and waits.07:51
tkamppeterpitti, many backends, like the usb backend of CUPS retry every 30 seconds, once using resources (filtering and rendering the complete job) and second popping up a tray message that the printer is not connected.07:51
pittitkamppeter: I still think that'd be the correct thing to do, but independently from that, how did it work in the past? you can't get info about hal nodes any more after they disappeared (when the printer is turned off)07:52
pittithat seems pretty independent to the usblp issue to me?07:52
tkamppeterpitti, with usblp you had the full device ID also on a printer removal event, as it was in the HAL DB and before HAL discards a DB entry on removal of a device it starts the removal callout supplying the complete DB entry to it as env variables.07:54
pittiah, I see07:54
pittitkamppeter: right, so ideally hal could still have the device ID without usblp07:54
pittis/could/would/07:55
tkamppeterWithout usblp the hal_lpadmin script is triggered from another HAL DB entry which does not contain the device ID.07:56
pittiright, I understand07:56
tkamppeterSo I would like to know if I could do the following:07:56
tkamppeterPrinter turned on: hal_lpadmin script polls the device ID from the printer and WRITES it into the HAL database entry07:57
tkamppeterPrinter turned off: HAL database entry contains device ID and so printer can be identified as well as on turn-on event.07:57
pittitkamppeter: yes, you can use hal-set-property to add a property to a hal node; you need to be root for that, though07:58
tkamppeterpitti, as hal_lpadmin is called by HAL, it runs as root.07:59
pittitkamppeter: so either hald itself detects the device id (if that's possible without much code), or you use hal-set-property07:59
pittioh, it's a python script, handy07:59
pittitkamppeter: /usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-set-power-save uses hal-set-property (example)08:00
tkamppeterpitti, as hal-set-property is a command line utility, one can call it from any language.08:00
pittiexactly08:01
tkamppeterOr are there python bindings for HAL08:01
pittitkamppeter: no, there aren't; from python you usually use straight d-bus calls to hal08:01
ograthere are dbus bindings, hal understabds them08:02
tkamppeterpitti, I have tried hal-set-property directly from the command line and it does exactly what I want. I can add properties to HAL DB entries now.08:05
pittigreat08:05
tkamppeterThank you for your help, pitti08:07
pittitkamppeter: no problem, I didn't do much :)08:07

askandHi, how do one get blueprints approved?09:25
cjwatsondon't get overly obsessed with the status of blueprints. If it's something that you're capable of doing, then just go ahead and do it. (If it's not something that you're capable of doing yourself, then you probably shouldn't have registered a blueprint for it; they're detailed software design documents, not wish-lists.)09:27
cjwatsonif you're a developer, then the question you should be asking is how to get peer review for your design, rather than how to get the blueprint approved; and in that case the answer is to find a group of like-minded interested developers and talk to them about it09:28
askandcjwatson:  ah thanks, in fact I am not asking about a blueprint I have made, but one that I do like the sound of. The creator of that blueprint asked in the forums how do get blueprints approved, I will forward your message :)09:41
cjwatsonaskand: for non-developers, it's much better to use brainstorm.ubuntu.com than to use blueprints09:48
cjwatsonwe have a problem at the moment that we have hundreds or probably even thousands of blueprints that weren't created by developers, aren't plausible software design documents, and can essentially never be approved09:48
askandcjwatson:  I have indeed seen that problem arising too09:50
askandHowever this wasnt a complex blueprint (at least it does not sound so to me as a non-developer), it was simply a blueprint about changing the default screensaver from black to something else to avoid confuse new users when the screensaver starts during installation09:52
cjwatsonso why is that a blueprint rather than a wishlist bug?09:54
cjwatsonit makes no sense for trivial things to be blueprints09:54
cjwatsonthere has been a trend for people to follow up to all wishlist bugs and say that they should be blueprints, and it's completely wrong - complex things that require careful design work sometimes merit being blueprints, but simple enhancements don't09:55
cjwatsonanyway, the person involved should talk to the desktop team09:56
askandcjwatson: hm, that make sense..here is the link to the forumdiscussion in case you want to write something there :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=85450009:57

askand1Hi,  I talked to cjwatson about blueprints earlier and the problem with blueprints created by non-developers thinking that is the best way to get their ideas and wishes fullfilled. I begun to look and there are a lot of blueprints out there, many which only contains a link to a brainstorm-idea. Perhaps a sticky in the Intrepidsection in the forums would be good?11:35

\shcjwatson: well, it's not shown on the directory index of the archive14:23
cjwatson\sh: that doesn't prove anything14:24
cjwatson\sh: rsync archive.ubuntu.com:: shows the symlinks14:24
saispocjwatson: for example14:25

saispocp: not writing through dangling symlink `/home/eole/mirror/cdimage/scratch/eole/daily/tmp/hardy-i386/CD1/pool/universe/libn/libnet-ip-perl/libnet-ip-perl_1.25-2_all.deb'14:25
cjwatsonsaispo: the anonftpsync script included in cdimage already uses --copy-links to avoid this problem14:25
saispook, thanks, will see it14:25
\shcjwatson: well...rsync is too slow from me here..that's why I'm using debmirror and http...and it doesn't show it to me using http..and avoids those problems.14:26

cjwatsonand the reason that they're symlinks is that, as \sh said, e.g. libnet1-dev was moved from main to universe between gutsy and hardy, but is at the same version in both, so we need the same file in the pool; symlinks save a good deal of disk space here14:28
cjwatsonsame file in two locations in the pool, I mean14:28
pittidevfil: thanks! I'll sponsor this (not right now, but today or tomorrow)14:29
devfilpitti: thanks to you14:29
\shcjwatson: but that means, source one time in main, it's always symlinked to universe? regarding libnet-ip-perl it was in main (dapper) then demoted to universe and since intrepid again in main....14:29
devfilpitti: I hope it is ok14:30
pittidevfil: I'll follow up on the bug report if there are problems14:30
cjwatson\sh: only if the same version is in main and universe in two different releases14:30
devfilpitti: thanks14:30
cjwatson\sh: in this case dapper is irrelevant because it's a different version, but the same version (1.25-2) is in feisty/gutsy/hardy universe and intrepid main14:30
cjwatson\sh: this means that dists/feisty, dists/gutsy, and dists/hardy refer to it as pool/universe and expect it to be there, while dists/intrepid refers to it as pool/main14:31
cjwatson\sh: so we move the file itself to main but put a symlink in universe14:31
\shcjwatson: ok14:32

kirklandTheMuso: and it was because $(get_fstype) was malfunctioning ;-)23:38
asacTheMuso, i think if kde really doesnt use pulse, we need to have different configs for kde and gnome23:38

calcdo i need to redo the merge since it was a checkout of the wrong branch?23:47
asaccalc, if you uncommitted the merge then you probably have to redo23:49
calcok23:50
asaccalc, if you have a checkout you will auto-push. so your changes might end up in the checkout branch. not sure if that is what you want to do23:51
calci think i can make it redo it pretty easily by copying the conflict fixed files over to the new checkout after attempting a merge23:51
asaccalc, i'd suggest to use a full branch so you can decide when and where to push ;).23:52
cjwatsoncalc: 'bzr unbind', or 'bzr bind bzr+ssh://ccheney@bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Eopenoffice-pkgs/openoffice/3.0-intrepid/', before doing anything with that23:56
cjwatsoncalc: otherwise you'll be committing directly to ~openoffice-pkgs/openoffice/2.4.1-intrepid on LP23:56
cjwatsoncalc: looks like maybe you branched with 'cp -a' rather than with 'bzr branch'23:57
asaccjwatson, why binding at all instead of branching and then pushing?23:57
