| mscottputman | HI! I'm moving over from Windows to Ubuntu and there's only one thing holding me back. I used a dual-monitors setup with Windows and cannot get Ubuntu to work properly with it. It clones easily, but I want it to extend instead. I have been using "Screens and Graphics" to tweak things, but it hasn't worked. I'm running on an Intel 845 and the monitor is an HP w17e on Ubuntu Hardy Heron | 00:47 |

| glatzor | morning mvo! | 09:30 |
| glatzor | mvo, packagekit now supports running a distro upgrade hook in the user's desktop session | 09:31 |
| glatzor | mvo, which command would be best? do-release-upgrade -m desktop? | 09:31 |
| glatzor | mvo, would be nice to have an import gtk try and error to find the corresponding frontend automatically | 09:32 |
| mvo | glatzor: re upgrade tool: yes, run that for now | 10:04 |
| mvo | glatzor: we should probably add something that shows the initial download with a GUI, but it should be good for now | 10:05 |
| gicmo | seb128: morning | 10:10 |
| seb128 | hey hey gicmo! | 10:10 |
| seb128 | how are you? | 10:10 |
| gicmo | I think I am catching a cold | 10:11 |
| gicmo | and I am a bit worried about gvfs' state | 10:11 |
| seb128 | :-( | 10:11 |
| * seb128 hugs gicmo | 10:11 | |
| * gicmo hugs seb128 back | 10:12 | |
| gicmo | I need to fix http, which involves a lot of code change | 10:12 |
| seb128 | gicmo: alex seems to be coming back, he said he will try fix this gtk fileselector crasher thing today | 10:12 |
| gicmo | not much tume | 10:12 |
| gicmo | time | 10:12 |
| gicmo | and then we have this stupid gvfsd-trash heisenbug | 10:13 |
| seb128 | it's not only gvfsd-trash | 10:13 |
| seb128 | but that's the most noticable because that the one everybody is running | 10:13 |
| gicmo | seb128: sigh | 10:13 |
| seb128 | did you try to mail alex about it? maybe he has some good idea ;-) | 10:14 |
| gicmo | seb128: that monitor split was a bit ... well | 10:14 |
| seb128 | right, my opinion too | 10:14 |
| gicmo | seb128: I will in a few secs, mabe I can convince him to log into IRC even ;-) | 10:14 |
| seb128 | and I'm not sure to understand what it brings exactly | 10:14 |
| * gicmo nods | 10:15 | |
| gicmo | well the idea is that basically you only have once process per session doing the HAL foo and the monitoring of /etc/fstab | 10:15 |
| gicmo | which indeed is a good diea | 10:15 |
| gicmo | idea | 10:15 |
| gicmo | not nautilus + the file selector + anybody interested in volume changes | 10:16 |
| seb128 | right | 10:16 |
| seb128 | let's say the implementation is not perfect yet then ;-) | 10:17 |
| gicmo | seb128: quite that, yes ;-) | 10:23 |
| gicmo | This bug has 102 duplicates | 10:33 |
| gicmo | ups | 10:33 |
| seb128 | hey NCommander | 10:37 |
| NCommander | seb128: hey seb128 | 10:37 |
| seb128 | NCommander: any news about gtkmm? ;-) | 10:38 |
| NCommander | seb128: didn't I give that to you? | 10:38 |
| seb128 | gicmo: waouh, alex commited to svn ;-) | 10:38 |
| * NCommander remembers giving you the debdiff | 10:38 | |
| seb128 | NCommander: I didn't get it if you did, and that's why using we use bugs for sponsoring ;-) | 10:39 |
| NCommander | seb128: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/revu1-incoming/gtkmm2.4-0809112350/gtkmm2.4_2.13.8-0ubuntu1.dsc - I had the brains to save a backup before I wiped my HDD :-) | 10:39 |
| gicmo | seb128: woho! | 10:40 |
| seb128 | gicmo: he just commited to trunk though, stupid earlier split for this cdtext thing | 10:42 |
| gicmo | yeah | 10:43 |
| gicmo | tell hadess about that | 10:43 |
| gicmo | I got angry | 10:43 |
| gicmo | nobody asked me about that | 10:43 |
| gicmo | redhatters doing what they want | 10:43 |
| seb128 | right | 10:44 |
| gicmo | seb128: I will make sure it gets into stable | 10:46 |
| seb128 | gicmo: thanks | 10:48 |

| andreasn | mpt: hi! do you have a moment to take a peek at a brasero bug? | 12:17 |
| mpt | andreasn, sure | 12:37 |
| andreasn | mpt: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=551938 | 12:40 |
| ubottu | Gnome bug 551938 in general "Image burning dialog" [Normal,Unconfirmed] | 12:40 |
| * mpt realizes that nautilus-cd-burner's equivalent dialog has a useless "Information" header | 12:42 | |
| mpt | andreasn, +1 to your suggestions | 12:44 |
| mpt | I don't have anything else to say :-) | 12:45 |
| andreasn | ok, thanks! | 12:45 |

| seb128 | mvo: hum, bug #261990 | 13:07 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 261990 in evolution "Upgrade dapper -> hardy fails (because of evolution-plugins?!)" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/261990 | 13:07 |
| mvo | seb128: yes, see my "needinfo" there | 13:07 |
| seb128 | mvo: I was going to say that 2.6.1-0ubuntu7.4 is not an ubuntu version but that's a security update version so ignore that ;-) | 13:08 |
| mvo | seb128: I suspect local corruption, but it might be something really strange with the upload :) | 13:08 |
| mvo | seb128: aha, ok. my first impuls on the version number was "invalid, not us" but rmadison convinced me otherwise :) | 13:08 |
| seb128 | mvo: I'm ready to bet that's another case where the issue is not a package one though ;-) | 13:10 |
| mvo | local corruption I think | 13:10 |
| mvo | I have seen a lot of this today, strnge, must mean that the normal bugs are almost all gone :P | 13:11 |
| seb128 | ;-) | 13:11 |
| mvo | maybe we need a component "dubios-reports" or so :) | 13:12 |
| seb128 | mvo: btw there is something weird going on with gconf, we got several bugs since your uploads | 13:12 |
| seb128 | mvo: does gconf create the new directory if you try to write system defaults and it doesn't exist? | 13:12 |
| mvo | the directoy is included in the new gconf | 13:13 |
| seb128 | mvo: is it possible that some people tried your new "set system default" button before getting the new gconf which creates the dir using the right permissions? | 13:13 |
| mvo | yes, that makes sense | 13:13 |
| seb128 | ok, will ask that on the bug | 13:13 |
| mvo | if the dir is not there, it seems to be created with 0700 permissions | 13:13 |
| mvo | I will update the dependency and add a version | 13:14 |
| seb128 | thanks | 13:15 |
| mvo | seb128: do you have a bugnumber for me to close? | 13:29 |
| seb128 | mvo: no, bug #269215 might be due to it but that's just a guess at the moment I asked on the bug | 13:29 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 269215 in gconf "There is a problem with the configuration server. (/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)" [Medium,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/269215 | 13:29 |
| mvo | thanks | 13:30 |
| mvo | I commited a gconf2-common (>= latest-in-ubuntu) dep now | 13:30 |
| seb128 | thank you | 13:31 |
| mvo | thanks | 13:31 |
| seb128 | NCommander: you are being too lazy to describe your changes in the changelog now? ;-) | 13:53 |
| NCommander | I didn't? | 13:53 |
| * NCommander explodes from overwork | 13:53 | |
| seb128 | NCommander: not the shver update and the build requirements update | 13:54 |
| NCommander | argh | 13:54 |
| NCommander | I'll respin it | 13:54 |
| seb128 | thanks | 13:54 |
| seb128 | NCommander: so? | 14:18 |
| NCommander | seb128: sorry, was respinning a samba4 patch | 14:18 |
| * NCommander is currently multitasking | 14:18 | |
| seb128 | NCommander: I'll sponsor the other one don't bother | 14:19 |
| NCommander | seb128: I'm going to be a little busy this coming week, so I don't think I can handle any more updates for a little big | 14:19 |
| james_w | thanks seb128 | 14:19 |
| seb128 | james_w: you're welcome, keep up the good work you are doing ;-) | 14:20 |
| james_w | I'll try :-) | 14:20 |
| pedro_ | seb128: do you know if the retracers are working? | 14:57 |
| seb128 | pedro_: the machine where they are running is moving between datacenters | 14:57 |
| pedro_ | seb128: ok!, thanks you | 14:57 |
| seb128 | no problem | 14:57 |
| seb128 | pedro_: and the 8.04 retracers are still not fixed | 14:58 |
| seb128 | the intrepid ones should be back soon though | 14:58 |
| mvo | is it just me or do you see bug #269805 with metacity too (in addition to compiz?) | 15:58 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 269805 in gnome-control-center "gnome-window-properties gives error about configuration tool not being "registered"" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/269805 | 15:58 |
| pochu | mvo: yeah, I see it here with metacity | 16:00 |
| * mvo nods - thanks | 16:01 | |
| pochu | mvo: btw, I have metacity's compositing manager enabled, in case that matters | 16:25 |
| seb128 | mpt: hi | 16:46 |
| seb128 | mpt: the gnome-session alignment issues are icons variant not available in the human theme | 16:47 |
| seb128 | mpt: do you think we should use the icons gnome-session was using in hardy? | 16:47 |
| tedg | seb128: I believe that mpt went home with a bad headache. | 16:59 |
| seb128 | tedg: ok, no hurry anyway, thanks for letting me know | 16:59 |
| andreasn | seb128: I thought things were just scaled up () | 17:03 |
| andreasn | seb128: I thought things were just scaled up (badly) if a bigger size was missing | 17:03 |
| seb128 | andreasn: they are not, look at the session dialogs | 17:03 |
| andreasn | guess it's just the other way around (scale big one down if small is missing) | 17:03 |
