ograah, well, i knew i had talked to pitti about it twice and tried to find it in the logs :)00:06
johanbrHmm. Making the obvious changes to backend.py doesn't make my SD card appear.00:12
ograjohanbr, does it get mounted if you dont use ubiquity ?00:13
johanbrYes. And I think I made a stupid mistake. Just a sec.00:14

unfobryce_: sorry to ask again; but I want to be sure, and I realize I didn't ask so well before.  I don't fully understand the code of the change dstone made.  But I do know that sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -pcritical causes Ubuntu to write out a new Xorg.conf.  Will that Xorg.conf negate the new default by specifying that users may zap?  Or will it keep the new default and leave zapping disabled?04:00
RAOFunfo: We don't write that value currently, and I don't see any reason why we'd suddenly start writing it.04:09
unfoRAOF: ok thanks for clarifying.04:14
unfoanother question.  all :  there are a lot of games in Ubuntu main.  Some are quite bad.  Can we move the bad ones into universe or make some other change, thereby raising the average quality of games in Ubuntu?04:15
StevenKWhat do you mean by bad?04:15
unfoOr maybe can we ship more of the best games on cdrom 1?04:15
unfoStevenK: pick a few random games in main.  Install them.  Try them.  See if you like them.04:16
unfoStevenK:  Let me give you examples of bad games, some are in main, some in universe, I don't remember:  btanks, tennix,04:16

unfoI can list more in 1 hour once I am off the phone.04:17

bryce_the games in gnome-games aren't really that horrible.  Some are a bit eye-candy poor, but they're all quite playable04:20
bryce_but it's definitely true games available in ubuntu need a lot of work04:22
StevenKSome games04:24
aaronpSorry if this is a FAQ, but can someone please point me towards the documentation on how to upload PPA builds?  I can't seem to find it.05:29
aaronpNever mind, I found it in some random IRC log.05:49
unfoaaronp:  That's not really such good documentation.  :)  Someone should write some real documentation.  Don't volunteer me for the job though.06:16
unfoaaronp:  Or at least you should write something on the Ubuntu wiki.06:17
unfoI haven't used gnome-app-install ("Add/Remove...") for a few years now.  But IIRC it listed a star rating for each application based on popcon data.  But most apps had a star rating of "1 out of 5".  Some apps (the apps on the Ubuntu Desktop CD) had 4 stars or 5 stars.  Is that still the case?  If it is, we should bell-curve the star ratings so that more packages get 2 or 3 stars and less get 1 or 4 or 5.06:21
unfoThat would help the games problem by helping people decide which games to add to their PC based on their star ratings.06:21

StevenKpitti: Right, but bugzilla3 in Intrepid requires a newer CGI.pm than perl-modules provides.07:08

pittimdz: ah, usplash has *just* started to work for me again, with the -7 kernel09:47
pittiI think I saw this effect, too09:47
pittimdz: yes, it basically disables pulsating for fsck completely09:48
seb128grrrr, mvo!!!09:49
pittimdz: hm, whether that is desired is pretty much a matter of taste, I think09:49
pittibut we didn't do it in earlier releases09:49
seb128mvo: ;-)09:49
cjwatsonwell, you want pulsating if there's no other visible sign of progress, potentially a long time on one step, and no way to calculate the length in advance09:50
pittiI see how that got into Debian, but for the really long ones we already have our usplash fsck integration09:50
cjwatsonI like Coucouf's approach09:51
pittiso reverting to the hardy behaviour makes sense for us, IMHO09:51
pitti(e. g. that patch)09:51
cjwatsonif I'm reading it right it seems to enable pulsating only when it's going to take a while?09:51
pitticjwatson: only if there's an actual fsck happening09:52
pittibut I discussed that case for hardy with mpt, and he said keeping the progress bar steady and reporting textual progress was better09:52
mdzpitti: I find it confusing that it pulsates even when no check is taking place09:52
mdzsince the progress bar advances, advances, suddenly pulsates, advances some more, suddenly pulsates, then advances to the end09:52
pittiand for the actual fsck case we don't need pulsating either09:52
pittiwe can report actual numbers and percentage there09:53
cjwatsonpitti: I agree on textual progress09:53
gaspapitti: just about that.09:53
pittigaspa: your mail> that's indeed a tricky one09:54
gaspaactually status line with percent and steps of fsck overflow off the chars box.09:54
pitticutting off the status is evil, then you don't see anything09:54
gaspain fact.09:54
gaspai prefer that it wrap.09:54
pittiI'd rather fix it to properly clean up09:54
pittiwrap? that looks even more ugly?09:54
gaspathe other solution is to enlarge the status width...09:55
pittiif we can't easily fix the status column, then we shouldn't use it at all and change the text instead, or so09:55
gaspapitti: but why status should be limited? couldn't it take the whole line, if it need to?09:56
pittigaspa: making the status column much wider to fit would be the best, indeed09:57
pittieven in 640x480 there's still quite a lot of unused space at the right, so it should fix09:57

persiatjaalton, I've a concern about the idea of adding any joystick that is reported to crash X to the .fdi file.  This doesn't sound like something that can be maintained.  Is that really the only way to go about it?  I'm not concerned about joysticks not working in X, only about them breaking other things.12:56
jcristaupersia: the idea is to fix the server so it doesn't crash..12:56
persia(By "not working in X" I mean "not detected as XInput devices")12:56
persiajcristau, OK.  That works.  I'm just responding to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/274203/comments/4012:56

wgrantapport is being a bit sluggish.12:56
kwwiiasac: so that means it'll have to wait until intrepid+1? (I am asking because I need to change all our gtkrc's and doing it in advance will break things)12:56
persiaIndeed, but I think I had most of the -dbg packages installed.  Stacktrace.txt is mostly readable (and completely different than what gdb showed me)12:57
asackwwii: yes. ffox 3.1 will have that feature12:57
asac /bugfix12:57
asac3.1 will be our main browser in jaunty unless something unexpected happens12:57
tjaaltonpersia: the priority is to make it not crash, and after that add support for -joystick to pick up the device12:58
persiatjaalton, OK.  That works for me.  Given that most of the tools that use joysticks currently break when they don't have exclusive access, I'm tempted not to add anything to the .fdi file, but that's more because I don't want to fuss with SDL than because it's the right solution.12:59

unfoLaney: I suspect that http://start.ubuntu.com/8.04/ is too different from the Firefox Start screen she is used to, and that it would confuse her.16:45
cjwatsonunfo: I think if you assume people don't read, can't absorb any kind of information, etc. then at some point you have to conclude that helping them is going to impede others16:45
davmor2unfo: it already does16:45
cjwatsonunfo: life in OS design is a trade-off16:46
cjwatsonunfo: I would expect (and hope!) that doctors are generally intelligent people capable of absorbing information even if they happen not to know it to start with (and if not shouldn't you be worried about them being your doctor? :-) )16:46
unfocjwatson:  no, I don't care that my doctor doesn't care and doesn't want to learn anything about computers.  she is an excellent doctor.16:47
cjwatsonunfo: the only way to find out whether it will work or not is to try16:47
unfohere's the only solution I could think of.  use a traditional "Firefox Start"-like webpage, but at the bottom, when you scroll down, have a few screens of Ubuntu-related info.16:47
cjwatsonunfo: I didn't mean to imply she wasn't; I meant to imply that given that she is a good doctor, the ability to absorb information is generally a transferable skill16:47
unfocjwatson:  I'm not offended at all.  Just always keep in mind that to some people, a computer is like a toaster.16:48
cjwatsonunfo: I would suggest trying it (in a hands-off style; see whether she picks it up in a few minutes without helping her) rather than making assumptions16:48
unfocjwatson:  They assume, "plug it in and it works."16:48
cjwatsonunfo: sure, but we can't design for people with *no* ability to do *anything*16:48
unfocjwatson:  no.  I see my doctor rarely.  She is happy with Windows.  She is the last person I would ever consider converting.16:48
cjwatsonthen leave it be16:48
unfocjwatson:  why don't you design for those people?  many of those people are plagued with spyware.16:49
cjwatsonunfo: where did I say that Windows users had no ability to do anything?16:49
unfoThey might benefit from Ubuntu.16:49
cjwatsonunfo: I said that we can't design for people with no ability to do anything. That's quite a different statement16:49
unfocjwatson: you didn't say that.  I put the words in your mouth maybe :)16:49
cjwatsonunfo: I think you're making an unwarranted assumption about people's inability to see a bar with "Google" printed next to it and work out that it is related to Google16:50
unfoI am saying, many people have no ability to do anything.  Most of them now use Windows.  Why shouldn't we design Ubuntu so it meets those people's needs?16:50
cjwatson(oh, and with "Search" written on the other side)16:50
cjwatsonbut that simply isn't true. They had to pick up a certain amount in order to use Windows too16:50
unfocjwatson: could we use a real Google logo, and enlarge that search bar area with lots of padding so it takes up 200 vertical pixels?16:50
unfocjwatson: true16:50

unfodoes anyone here have a true noob in their home or office?  could they test start.ubuntu.com/8.04/ on them?16:52
cjwatsonI really don't think the current page is unreasonable. Yes, I know that developers are usually the worst people to make these kinds of decisions, but even so I think it is a fair trade-off between access to the ability to search and provision of information. Surely there are many worse problems?16:52
unfocjwatson: I am not 100% sure but I suspect it is not the ideal trade-off.  But it depends who your audience is.16:53
juliuxhi16:53
unfoPerhaps the right thing to say is "people as noobish as unfo's doctor, who don't want to learn anything about computers, should not use Ubuntu".16:53
juliuxis there any way how i can test something in on a 64bit system without having a 64bit cpu?16:53
broonieunfo: How many of these people are going to be confused by anything that isn't exactly IE?16:53
cjwatsonyou can certainly make general-purpose computers easier, but you can't turn them into a toaster. A web browser requires more controls than that.16:53
unfojuliux: wrong channel.  join me in #ubuntu16:54

cjwatsonI really don't buy this. My mother was AFAICT an excellent example of this; she was generally uninterested in learning about computers, and exhibited some confusion when things changed around, but had no problem using Firefox. Yes, it was different, but she picked it up.16:55

james_wogra: but your image boots automatically for me, whereas ones created with usb-creator require me to select the USB stick from the boot device list. Do you know why that is?17:56
looljames_w: Are you writing to /dev/sdz versus /dev/sdz1 in some cases?17:57
ograjames_w, our syslinux.cfg is just set to not prompt17:58
ograor rather to timeout17:58
james_wlool: ah, that's probably it. I'm using ogra's image-writer for his images17:58
ograah17:58
loologra: I guess that "select USB stick from boot list" is BIOS17:58
ograthe imagewriter is just a graphical DD frontent17:58
ogra*frontend17:58
ograit uses hal to find eth device as usb-creator does though17:59
loolmvo: Reproduced the -D_GNU_SOURCE issue you had with acpid with Debian experimental's libc6; thanks!18:09

pittitkamppeter: I'm currently considering making jockey only look for packaged PPD files, and not for drivers (at least not by default), as recently discussed; is there a printer model for which openprinting.org db returns a packaged PPD?18:11
tkamppeterpitti, not yet. In which time frame do you want to do this? I could create a test package tomorrow or so.18:15
tkamppeterThe characteristic to recognize such a package is that it is for all architectures, which is found by searching for the architecture noarch or any (Packages without binaries in general).18:17

ograoh, who uploaded screem ?18:19
* ogra was just tinkering with that18:19
tkamppeterpitti, do you have a PostScript printer? Then please tell me which brand and model, then I can make a package which you can directly test.18:19
ograsince crimsun had asked me to18:19
pittitkamppeter: no, I don't; well, I have a bunch of "fake" printers to nonexisting ports :)18:21
pittitkamppeter: but I don't need to have the printer, querying for it and getting back a PPD package is enough18:21
pittitkamppeter: right, noarch=1 seems to be close, but woulnd't onlyppdfiles=1&onlydriverpackages=1 be more correct?18:22
crimsunogra: laserjock did.  I pinged him on identi.ca a couple days ago18:29
ograah, k18:30
ograi was just confused :)18:30
mvolool: cool, cheers18:33
james_wogra: install went well, wireless works once ath_pci is blacklisted.18:40
munckfishhi calc are you there?18:41
cjwatsonpitti: should bug 176994 be closed? I'm not sure what the packageless task is for.18:56

mdzdoes anyone know how to get the python gconf api to do the equivalent of "gconftool-2 -g"?19:08
mdzI think I want gconf_engine_get but can't find it in the python api19:11
mvomdz: give me a sec19:12
mvomdz: /usr/share/gnome-panel/migrate-fusa-config.py should be a good example19:12
mdz    client = gconf.client_get_default()19:13
mdzmvo: I tried that, but it only seems to work within a session19:13
mvomdz: gconf.client_get_default() is the one19:13
mdzmvo: gconftool-2 seems to work even outside of an active session19:14
mdzmaybe I should just call out to gconftool-219:14
mdzglib.GError: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details -  1: Not running within active session)19:14
=== n8k99_ is now known as n8k99
mvomdz: oh, right. sorry, I missed that19:15
mdzthere is a gconf.Engine but it has only one method on it, associate_schema19:18
mvomdz: there is also gconf.client_get_for_engine() were the engine can be passed to. but I tried it and it just gives me the same error19:19
mvomdz: heh :) /usr/sbin/update-gconf-defaults is written in python but for the actual gconf manipulation it calls out to gconftool19:21
mdzmvo: what I want to do is, for a list of keys, print those which are not at the default19:22
mdzrunning gconftool-2 for each one takes a long time19:22
mdzabout 300ms each19:22
mdzit does work though19:23

ograjames_w, thanks a lot :)19:26

mdzlool: get_without_default() seems to return a lot of false positives, too.  what I want is only keys whose value is not the default value20:03
mdzgconf seems to have a different notion of what is 'default'20:04
loolAh only read last part of your question, didn't see "out of the session" constraint20:04
mdzlool: I have already written the gconftool-2 version as a fallback, but want to use the fast path when there is a session20:04
stefanlsdhow long after intrepid is released does dev for jaunty open?20:22
ScottKUsually a couple of weeks.20:25
stefanlsdheh. looking forward too that20:29
cjwatsonI think we should be able to do the actual creation in a small number of days, but it can take a little while for the toolchain to settle enough to allow general uploads20:30
sebnercjwatson: remember the gcc fun at the intrepid beginning ^^20:32
cjwatsonsebner: sure, it takes a while each time20:32
cjwatsonbelieve me warty was a lot more fun ;-)20:32
sebnercjwatson: ah you were here since the very beginning? nice. 2004 /me not even own a computer20:33
cjwatsonsebner: yes - warty involved completely rebuilding the archive from scratch because we realised it was broken on Via C320:34
cjwatsonthat was before the archive was publicly mirrored so we could pull that sort of stunt :)20:35
sebnerhehe20:35
johanbrcjwatson: I got usb-creator to detect the SD card, but it's still not quite working. Do you know if it's supposed to detect a block device or a partition?20:42
johanbrI don't have a standard USB key handy, so I can't test.20:42
cjwatsonevand: ^- could you help johanbr?20:43
evandsure thing20:53
evandjohanbr: where is it failing?20:54
johanbrevand: It says the card needs formatting, so I click on Format, the button is greyed out, and not much more happens.20:56

murdokwhich is the format :?21:09

murdoklol :รพ21:10
* ogra would try a cursor editor :)21:10
murdokwhere can I find one?21:11
murdokmmm I'm looking in x11-apps21:11
mdkeslangasek: in previous releases we've tended to upload ubuntu-docs translations a bit after the NonLanguagePackTranslationDeadline, more around the LanguagePackTranslationDeadline. Would it be ok if we do the same again this release? Translators have had very little time due to LP issues21:11
murdokno, x11-apps provides a cursors generator but not a viewer :?21:11
mdkeslangasek: so I'd like to give them a few extra days if possible. It shouldn't create any problems21:12
murdokogra: do you know any?21:12
ogramurdok, no,and this isnt actually a support channel21:12
ograthere is a lot documentation out theer how to generate cursors, best is to look that up i guess21:13
murdokwell, i know. but my goal was develop21:13
