Hobbseeawww05:55
RAOFHobbsee: If you wanted to make my life a lot better, you could make emacs-snapshot-gtk respect gnome's font hinting settings.  Then I'd believe your -250 count!05:56
Hobbseeheh05:56
greg-g-105:56
RAOFI presume it uses fontconfig, or whatever the non-GNOME voodoo is.  I could always just work out how to futz with that.05:56

bdmurray-106:01
greg-ghalf way there06:02
bdmurraygah, new ones must be coming in quickly06:09
greg-g-106:09
Hobbseeoh, was i supposed to stop filing them?  whoops.06:10
bdmurrayI'm fairly certain you can find the right package no?06:10
RAOFHobbsee: Once you're bored filing bugs against Ubuntu, I've got some Google libs you could package for me :)06:11
HobbseeRAOF: i'm sure i'm not that bored :P06:11
RAOFNow it's my turn to Awww.06:12

ubottuLaunchpad bug 216688 in ubuntu "During install of U8.04BetaLive, partitioner tells me to use a 1.5TB /usr partition" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/21668806:14

greg-g-106:15
RAOFThat sounds like a very sensible recommendation :)06:15
greg-gheh06:15
greg-gawesome06:15
Hobbseestrange :)06:15
RAOFActually, he's out by a couple of orders of magnitude.06:16
RAOFThat's a 1.5GiB partition it's asking for.06:16
bdmurrayI thought the math was a bit off but wasn't positive06:16
RAOFSo the actual bug there is that it's reporting in bytes, rather than something sensible like 1.5GiB?06:17
pwnguinheh06:17
pwnguindont start that again06:17
RAOFpwnguin: 1.5GB would also be acceptable, I suppose.06:18
RAOFpwnguin: Package the Google .NET libs for me!06:18
pwnguinwhat?06:18
RAOFYou heard!  Go!06:18
pwnguinhow did i earn that punishment?06:18
Hobbseeyou spoke.06:18
RAOFBy speaking in #ubuntu-bugs ;)06:18
RAOFHobbsee has already declined the honour.06:18
HobbseeRAOF: i'll have the honour of hitting it with the REJECT stick instead, if you like?  :)06:19
pwnguinwhy .Net?06:19
pwnguini mean, i know a few guys who work with mono in town06:20
RAOFBecause there's no way that gnome-do-plugins, as it's currently shipped upstream, will enter the archives.06:20
pwnguini should at least write down their complaints06:20
greg-g-106:20
RAOFOf course, this would be easier if Google shipped a _build system_ with their source.06:20
bdmurraydown to 300806:21
pwnguini recall something about monodevelop being out of date, or something06:21
pwnguinis LP broke?06:21
RAOFpwnguin: Nope, not here.06:21
pwnguini keep gettign timeout error06:22
lifelessRAOF: but google are god06:22
lifelessRAOF: also, wow tomorrow ?06:22
RAOFlifeless: Urh, probably not.06:23
lifelessk06:23
RAOFStuff to do, and that'd require me to install a 3d-capable video driver.06:23
pwnguinso how many bugs are filed against yelp?06:23
RAOFOr, I suppose, see how incomplete nouveau's 3d is again.  It's been a while since I threw WoW at it.06:23
pwnguini think i have a dns or routing problem06:24
greg-g-106:25
techno_freakurgh, python-kde4 in the PPA is broken, now i can't install kde4 desktop :(06:26
RAOFIt's saving you from yourself :)06:26
bdmurray4 more06:28
pwnguinanyone know the rate of bugs being assigned to no package?06:28
bdmurray~50 per day06:28
pwnguinso you'd need 10 people doing 5 a day on that alone to keep pace06:29
bdmurrayor better education of reporters06:30

pwnguinnot something i'd pin my hopes on06:30
greg-g-106:33
greg-g2999!!!!06:33
RAOFI don't suppose anyone would care at all that kwin's desktop-effects don't work under GNOME.06:34

HobbseeRAOF: yeah, probably not06:42
RAOFHobbsee: It should work, though.  It works in kde...06:43
RAOFAnd I do so like the shiny.06:43
pwnguini dont quite understand how kde not working in gnome is a bug06:44
RAOFkwin is just a window manager.  Metacity works in KDE.06:45
RAOFThe difference being that kwin implements useful shiny with XRender, so nouveau runs it nicely...06:45
pwnguinbut compiz is too muhc06:46
pwnguini thought xrender was ancient history, like damage06:46
RAOFNo.  XRender is what EXA accelerates.  Also, Damage isn't history, either; it's fairly new.06:47
RAOFYou might be thinking XAA.06:47
pwnguinwell, maybe from x's perspective06:47
pwnguini recall damage and render being part of like the first xorg or earlier06:47
RAOFWell, the first Xorg is hardly ancient, either. :)06:48

chrisccoulsonhi, what do we do about bugs reported against a package in a PPA?14:31
chrisccoulsondo we just close it?14:31
chrisccoulsoni'm looking specifically at: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/25394814:31

chrisccoulsonthanks!14:32
Hobbseechrisccoulson: yeah, leave that one.  the NM ppa is a special case.14:33
mcasif a program segfaults.. should i ask for a strace?14:33

chrisccoulsonok, no problem!14:34

HewHey guys, I installed kubuntu-desktop the other day and now I've got all sorts of funky issues with my gnome interface (I reported bug 253676 but there are others). Is the clash between gnome and KDE a known issue, or should I go and report all these interface problems? What package/s would they be filed under? I can't seem to find any existing reports.14:38
ubottuLaunchpad bug 253676 in ubuntu "KDE window decoration applied in gnome" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/25367614:38
persiajames_w: That's tricky.  I'd settle for just being able to file bugs against people and teams.14:38
persiaHew: You may want to file them as bugs: most of the time a given application should work fine in the laternate environment (although there are exceptions).  If you do this, be prepared to have the bugs be ignored or marked won't fix as most of them will likely be very low priority for developers.14:39
chrisccoulsonHew - Have you tried removing compiz-kde? That will remove the kde window decorator, but would probably mean you end up with the gtk window decorator in kde14:40
chrisccoulsoni suppose it could be a compiz bug14:40
chrisccoulsoni don't know how compiz chooses a window decorator14:40
Hewchriscoulson: compiz-kde is not installed, and I'm not using compiz in either environment14:41
chrisccoulsonah, ok14:41
chrisccoulsonare you using kdm or gdm?14:41
HewI have issues such as the one I reported where gnome has the KDE decoration all the time, as well as these panel icons flashing orange all the time for no reason..14:41
chrisccoulsonhmmmm14:42
Hewchrisccoulson: both. gdm right now14:42
chrisccoulsoni might have a go at this in a virtual machine later and see what the results are like14:42
HewI'm on intrepid and figured I'd do some testing with KDE since I've never used it before14:42
Hewchrisccoulson: yea, I expect it would be reproducible on other systems. That would be great :-)14:42
chrisccoulsonthats strange. the loading of the window manager has changed in the new gnome-session in intrepid, and this is causing problems for people using compiz, where they have to enable compiz on every new session: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/25360614:44
ubottuLaunchpad bug 253606 in gnome-control-center "Compiz has to be started manually on each new session" [Undecided,Confirmed]14:44
chrisccoulsonHew: could you have a look at the two gconf keys listed in that bug report and see if any of them are set to kwin?14:44
Hewwindowmanager = metacity, default-session = [gnome-settings-daemon,metacity,gnome-panel,nautilus]14:47
chrisccoulsonvery strnage14:47
chrisccoulsonstrange even14:47
chrisccoulsoni'll set kubuntu-desktop to install in my virtual environment now and leave it installing whilst i go out this afternoon. I'll try it out later and see if i get the same strange-ness as you14:49
