| shmengie | Howdy, I have an issue with compiz I don't know how to resolve. | 01:34 |
| shmengie | when I alt-tab to switch, the icons are corrupted. | 01:34 |
| ronc | Hi: This may or may not be a bug, but I noticed an unusual behavior in the 8.10 installer that you might be interested in. | 01:36 |
| ronc | The problem was that during installation, the time (taken from the computer presumably) was 5 hours off from the time zone selected (in this case, CST in the US). | 01:37 |
| ronc | I noticed, however, that after installation, the time was correct, so this may be just a cosmetic bug, rather than something that needs attention. | 01:38 |
| shmengie | That sounds like the computer clock was assumed to be gmt and the timezone was subtracted. | 01:38 |
| ronc | Incidentally, I installed 8.10 RC on a MacBook via VMWare Fusion 2.0. | 01:38 |
| shmengie | I saw that too | 01:38 |
| ronc | Yeah, I noticed that the offset was exactly the difference from GMT. | 01:38 |
| shmengie | When you alt-tab to switch windows, are the icons for the windows trashed? | 01:39 |
| ronc | The unfortunate thing is that this is what the novice user would see as one of the few things to do during installation. Not exactly comforting to a newbie. | 01:39 |
| shmengie | I'm an alt-tab junkie and the corrupted icons are driving me nutzo. | 01:39 |
| shmengie | I agree. | 01:40 |
| Hobbsee | shmengie: i can't reproduce that at all :-\ | 01:40 |
| ronc | No, the icons for the windows were not trashed. I have noticed that it is acting much more slowly than 8.04 on the same machine -- but I presume that there are some debugging hooks and that would cause the symptoms. | 01:40 |
| shmengie | Probably my video driver. | 01:41 |
| shmengie | ERr.. The intel video driver. | 01:41 |
| Hobbsee | ronc: not sure what you can do there - it has to take a guess as to whether the clock's in UTC time, or in a local timezone - and waht that might be. | 01:41 |
| Hobbsee | (hardware clock, that is) | 01:41 |
| ronc | My MacBook is using an intel graphics chip. Some of the functionality isn't available on the Intel chip, so that may be part of my problem. | 01:41 |
| shmengie | I saw the computer sync up with a time server then do it. | 01:42 |
| shmengie | FWIW | 01:42 |
| ronc | Hobbsee: I thought as much. Not much AI there. Still, you might have a flag or checkbox indicating whether it is taking the machine's time, or UTC. | 01:42 |
| Hobbsee | ronc: and a name prompt, and a .... | 01:43 |
| Hobbsee | ronc: if you start along that line, for a temporary session, where do you stop? | 01:43 |
| Hobbsee | iirc, it does go for the hardware clock time? | 01:43 |
| ronc | Hobbsee: Yeah, I hear you. Especially for a temporary session. My newbies are having enough trouble getting LiveCD's working. | 01:43 |
| Hobbsee | ouch :( | 01:44 |
| Hobbsee | ronc: where do they get trouble? | 01:44 |
| shmengie | I think the installer tries to sync up with a timeserver | 01:44 |
| shmengie | So it would be trying to fetch utc, no? | 01:44 |
| Hobbsee | shmengie: yeah, i think it does after you've picked which place you're in | 01:44 |
| Hobbsee | prior to that, i'm not sure. I think there's probably a bug somewhere in there | 01:45 |
| ronc | Hobbsee: The biggest problem is BIOS settings, particularly on laptops. They don't want to boot from the CD. The next thing is the keyboard selection (for language) which throws them a bit. | 01:45 |
| Hobbsee | ronc: because it pops up with no warning? | 01:45 |
| Hobbsee | oh, the one at the very start, or the one in the installer? | 01:45 |
| Hobbsee | bios: yes, agree. | 01:45 |
| Hobbsee | although i've tended to find that the bios will pick to boot from cd first if it can, then look for other options | 01:46 |
| ronc | Hobbsee: Yes, exactly. No warning. Most of the time, the keyboard is just fine and doesn't deserve such special treatment. | 01:46 |
| Hobbsee | ronc: noted. | 01:46 |
| shmengie | I've been confused by keyboard questions. | 01:47 |
| Hobbsee | ronc: i guess the converse problem is that it solves the language problem who don't speak english. | 01:47 |
| Hobbsee | ronc: whereas if there's a prompt saying "press <key> for other languages", in english, you're screwedif you don't speak it. | 01:48 |
| ronc | Hobbsee: I agree that in most cases, the BIOS is set to boot from the CD before the hard disk because that is how you surmount problems. However, in Dell machines, there is a second partition that runs (of all things, Linux) with a copy of Windows. That partition is used to bring the primary partition back to "factory settings". Hence, the need *not* to boot from a CD and go directly to the second partition on the hard drive. | 01:48 |
| Hobbsee | ronc: oh yes, i remember deleting that. | 01:48 |
| Hobbsee | ronc: tis a pity - not sure how much it's possible to change that. | 01:48 |
| ronc | Hobbsee: Yeah, it is a particular issue for one manufacturer, but Dell is a big one. | 01:49 |
| Hobbsee | shmengie: keyboard, or language? | 01:50 |
| shmengie | keyboard, but it's been a little while since I installed 8.10 | 01:50 |
| ronc | Hobbsee: Just out of sheer curiosity, where are you? I'm in Texas (U.S.A.) | 01:50 |
| Hobbsee | ronc: sydney, australia | 01:50 |
| Hobbsee | shmengie: yeah, there seem to be so many of them... | 01:50 |
| shmengie | I'm wondering about the alt-tab icon issue. Then there's an older compaq which quit working with X. | 01:51 |
| shmengie | Recently. | 01:51 |
| shmengie | the Compaq was working until a recent update (week ago). | 01:52 |

| lfaraone | arno_b: Well, Ubuntu (and Windows AFAICT) both continue to power USB storage devices after they have been 'ejected', iirc | 13:58 |
| lfaraone | arno_b: and until there is a problem (like short circuting, which atm is just a user fear) its a cosmetic issue. | 13:59 |
| arno_b | i am not an expert on USB device ;) But you should ask him to give the result of mount -l before unmout and after. If his key is no more here it means that there is no problem | 14:03 |
| lfaraone | arno_b: kk | 14:04 |
| === Igorot is now known as ManyakisAko | ||
| persia | lfaraone, I've short-circuited a USB key before. That said, I think the lesson was that I shouldn't attach/detach USB keys in the rain, rather than that the kernel/laptop had an issue regarding power. | 14:10 |
| === ManyakisAko is now known as Igorot | ||
| lfaraone | persia: Lol. | 14:13 |
| lfaraone | persia: In any case, I've followed arno_b 's advice and asked for info about mount -l | 14:13 |
| lfaraone | persia: Although I just tested on OSX, and that behavior (light staying on) is completely normal on the proprietary OSs | 14:14 |
| persia | Generally it's implemented in hardware or BIOS, rather than the OS. Most workstations will provide power to USB when the power supply is on, even if no operating system has ever booted on the components, and the motherboard is powered down. Laptops usually require the motherboard to be powered to provide USB power, although some will provide power when the motherboard is off if they are on AC. | 14:17 |
| persia | That's part of why USB keyboards usually work before the OS is loaded (e.g. at the grub prompt). | 14:17 |

| ubottu | Launchpad bug 3235 in nautilus "Install Template Documents" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/3235 | 14:26 |
| persia | askand, The issue is that templates tend to be in user folders. If you want to fix that bug, I recommend creating a blueprint for a structure by which there can be system installed templates in Nautilus (may exist already : I haven't investigated), and file bugs against packages that have document formats to have them provide templates to this system location, linked to the blueprint. | 14:54 |

| patrickod | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=959350 I have apparently discovered a bug with my zonet PCI ethernet card | 16:05 |

| patrickod | any suggestions from anyone/ | 16:07 |
| patrickod | ? | 16:07 |
| persia | patrickod, I have a USB ethernet interface like that. Needs kernel drivers. | 16:07 |
| patrickod | persia: have you any links? | 16:07 |
| persia | patrickod, Sorry, no. | 16:08 |
| hwilde | if it shows up in ifconfig doesn't it have drivers already | 16:08 |
| persia | hwilde, but the drivers don't necessarily work completely. | 16:08 |
| persia | hwilde, Basically, the kernel knows enough to know there is an interface there, but may not have enough information or firmware to actually send packets. | 16:09 |
| hwilde | i've never seen an ethernet actually show up in ifconfig and not be usable | 16:09 |

| azimout | apart from new versions of some important core components (kernel, gnome, X, n-m), there are some new tools inside intrepid | 16:10 |

| patrickod | ok | 16:11 |
| azimout | like the enhanced fast-user-switch applet, usb-creator and system-cleaner | 16:11 |
