pochucjwatson: thanks00:31
pochucjwatson: reuploaded, in case you can approve it00:32

cjwatsonpochu: approved - in future you probably should credit changes you make to yourself rather than listing them under somebody else's changes though!00:37
pochucjwatson: they are not my changes, I noticed Pedro had added a new debdiff just after uploading the previous one00:38
pochubut it's Pedro's debdiff without any change00:38

ubottuLaunchpad bug 273015 in meta-gnome2 "cannot install gnome & gnome-office packages" [High,Fix released]00:39
cjwatsonpochu: ok00:47
sistpotyhi, can any archive-admin please reject my upload of gnome-iconedit? (my mirror is outdated, and I've only found out right now that it was removed a few hours ago :()01:41
wgrantHmm, the new default background reminds of Hoary, I think.01:56
slangasekpochu: I'm thinking that the alternative is still the right way to do it, and that python-wxgtk2.8 has a separate bug, so I would argue for fixing both to use alternatives right02:00

Hobbseetseliot: ping?11:34
tseliotHobbsee: hi11:34
tseliotanything I can help you with?11:35
Hobbseetseliot: i was looking through unmet deps recently, and it seems that there's still a fair chunk of nvidia-type stuff on there.  Were you planning to examine it, and hopefully make some of the stuff installable again?11:36
HobbseePresumably you're one of the better people to do it11:36
tseliotHobbsee: unmet deps? Any examples I can have a look at?11:38
Hobbseetseliot: apt-cache unmet -i11:39
Hobbseetseliot: grep as appropriate11:39
tseliotHobbsee: aah, the -envy flavours. I thought we removed them11:40
Hobbseetseliot: unsure.  it appears not.11:40
tseliotI'll make sure they are removed from Intrepid11:40
Hobbseetseliot: cool, thanks :)11:40
tseliotHobbsee: thanks a lot for reporting the problem :-)11:40
Hobbseetseliot: thanks in advance for fixing it :)11:41
tseliot;)11:43
persiatseliot: Do you not need them to ensure safe upgrades from hardy?11:45
persia(obviously, being installable is good, but in terms of packages names: are dummy packages required)11:46
tseliotpersia: I'm working with mvo on this. Nvidia-common and Update manager should help users with the transition.11:47
tselioteven if users dist-upgrade from the command line they will be warned by nvidia-common's debconf dialog11:48
tseliototherwise Update Manager will install the new drivers automatically11:48
persiaHrm.  OK.  Personally, I generally believe the need for hints in update-manager represents a bug, and we ought try to do it with dummy packages, but given the complexity of this particular transition, debconf may work.11:48
tseliotpersia: unfortunately Nvidia dropped the support for a few cards and 2 out 4 driver flavours don't work in Intrepid11:49
tseliottherefore some users will have to be migrated to the open source driver while others will use the new proprietary drivers11:50
tseliotbut yes, I see your point11:50
persiatseliot: Ah, so there not really a package -> package mapping, but more a new and different card -> driver mapping.  Yeah, that requires hints.11:52
tseliotpersia: yes, exactly11:52

persiaion_: Surely you don't actually want to fill *everyone's* apt cache with that sort of thing (also see http://algebraicthunk.net/~dburrows/blog/entry/package-management-sudoku/ )12:02
ion_I don’t. :-) It wasn’t a very serious suggestion.12:04
Hobbseepersia: someone has *far* too much time on their hands ;)12:27
persiaHobbsee: Or a deep understanding of package management, and a desire for more complex test cases to improve performance.  Depends on how you want to look at it.12:28
Hobbseepersia: in that case, i'm surprised he hasn't expressed aptitude and/or apt in brainfuck, or something.12:29
persiaThe idea is to *improve* performance12:29
ion_hobbsee: I wanted to keep track of my circadian rhythm. So i wrote a program to keep track of my computer usage. It figures out when i’m sleeping more or less automatically. And i wrote a program that creates a graph of the data. :-P12:30
* persia doesn't generally participate in language wars, but that's an exceptional language12:30
Hobbseeion_: heh.  That sounds vaguely useful - although, do you only sleep and use a computer?12:30
ion_I tend to use it to print all intervals i have been idle for more than an hour (ruby -I~/src/own/idlemeter/ruby -ridlemeter -e 'puts IdleMeter::Analyze.intervals.find_all {|i| i.mode == :idle and i.length >= 3600 }') and pick the ones during which i was obviously sleeping. It can be made a bit more intelligent, though, see http://heh.fi/tmp/idlemeter.12:35
ion_One could always implement some kind of a self-learning network. ;-)12:39

CheeryI've realised this weird keyboard I have has bunch of buttons that have stuff like screen brightness and such18:00
Cheeryand 7 F-buttons than usual18:03
Cheery7 more*18:03
TreenaksCheery: do they work?18:04
Cheerysome of them do!18:05
Cheerythis is apple's flat keyboard18:05
Cheerybut I realise the desktop does not perhaps even recognise two of the buttons on this keyboard18:06
Cheerythe F-buttons appear to be function buttons, and have fn-buttons under them18:07
Cheerywhich can be used through fn-button that's on the place of insert18:07
Cheerythe two unrecognised buttons are those special buttons, that become F3 and F4 through fn-button18:08
ion_Darn. No MPX support in intrepid’s xorg, it seems. Oh well, we’ll have intrepid+1 soon.18:34
