pittibryce: reverting entire mesa in a SRU sounds very unlikely to me, since it has a high potential for breaking other systems08:12
pittibryce: (like systems configured for UXA)08:13
brycepitti: we may not need to -- we've had a bit of a brainstorm on #ubuntu-x tonight08:13
pittibryce: ah, nice; just reading backscroll from the meeting08:13
brycepitti: but I will point out that UXA is definitely not a supported option yet08:14
bryceor at least, it's not one I am ready to support yet, myself08:14
pittibryce: today I thought about converting your troubleshooting guide to a more end user related document "What can you do on intel driver problems", e. g. collect some workarounds08:15
pittiwhich we could link from the release notes08:15
brycethat's a good idea08:15
pittibryce: I'll mail you for review when I'm done08:17
brycethanks08:18
seb128mvo: <DBO>i just came here to say that there are redundant plugins enabled in compiz, and they are causing us to waste CPU resources when we do window fades08:30

seb128I think he said he would open a bug08:30

tseliotseb128: what does Gnome do with DPI (in Jaunty)?09:31
seb128tseliot: 96 dpi forced09:32
seb128by default forced, you can change the value in the appearance capplet09:32
tseliotseb128: with a gconf key in libgnome?09:32
seb128yes09:32
tseliotok, thanks09:32
seb128you're welcome09:33

=== dpm_ is now known as dpm
tseliotseb128: no, I don't but the OEM team needs some customisations09:50
seb128tseliot: ok, easier way is to unset the key then, but be careful the xrand capplet might still force a 96dpi value when loading configs09:51
seb128asac: ck-list-sessions?09:51
tseliotseb128: how come?09:51
seb128asac: the ck-pam-something might open a ck session for cron job, there is a bug open about that09:51
seb128tseliot: bug? I know they use to force 96dpi in hardy when the capplet landed rather than reading the key, I didn't try recently though09:52
tseliotseb128: any hints as to where I should look at to force DPI as they used to do in Hardy? libgnome?09:54
seb128tseliot: changing the gconf key will change the default value, ie what gnome-settings-daemon apply09:54

huatshello everyone !11:04
huatshi seb12811:04
seb128perhaps it could be a gnupg-agent | seahorse or something so it doesn't get installed in default ubuntu11:04
seb128lut huats11:04
* Tm_T have noticed that seahorse is happily destroying all gpg settings11:05
Tm_Tand that is while I don't use seahorse at all, just have it installed (:11:07
seb128you should be using it if you have it installed ;-)11:08
Tm_Tseb128: well, that would mean I have to recreate all my gpg settings and keys and...11:09
Tm_TI don't see any reason why I should use it, though, so I keep holding it away from my systems11:09
seb128I don't use gpg enough to have an opinion11:09
seb128I'm just signing emails and packages to upload11:10
seb128and I didn't have to reconfigure anything11:10
Tm_Tsame here, mostly, but also svn11:10
Tm_Tand ssh11:10
seb128seahorse found my gpp key automagically and acts as a gpg agent correctly11:10
Tm_Tactually ssh (and svn with it)11:10
seb128dunno why you think you would have to reconfigure your gpg configuration11:10
seb128ssh is managed by gnome-keyring not seahorse11:11
Tm_Tseb128: seahorse had all empty11:11
seb128and there again it uses the system config11:11
Tm_Tseb128: I don't use gnome (:)11:11
seb128you don't have to configure anything, it just lists available keys automatically11:11
Tm_Tseb128: but it didn't do that11:11
seb128you should have opened a bug then describing the issue11:12
Tm_Tall what it did, was emptied my .gnupg/ dir11:12
seb128it deleted your private key?!11:12
Tm_Tseb128: yes, all of it11:12
seb128weird11:12
Tm_Tindeed11:12
seb128first time I read about a such issue11:12
seb128and most of the distro team is using it11:12
seb128there is no reason it would delete any key11:12
seb128I guess it's something else on your install but your blamed it on seahorse11:13
Tm_Tseb128: also I had many times issues with gnome stuff forcing themselves to be autolaunched in my KDE sessions after install11:13
seb128autostart is a freedesktop spec11:13
seb128those are not GNOME specific11:13
Tm_Tseb128: I know, but forcing to autolaunch metacity...11:13
seb128nothing force anything11:13
seb128again if you have a specific issue you should open a bug11:14
seb128some desktops might need an NotShowIn=KDE11:14
seb128but we don't use KDE so we will not notice11:14
Tm_Taye, I have to see if it reoccurs11:14
seb128if you don't open a bug you get what you deserve11:14
Tm_Tas I have broken hardware now so cannot really try to find and report bugs11:14
seb128ok, so you will keep getting GNOME things started on your KDE session11:15
Tm_Tdid yes, until I manually cleaned that stuff from those autorun dirs11:16
Tm_Tthese funny and weird issues occured ~6 months ago I think11:16
Tm_TI assume that I had installed some -default-settings type package that did something unexpected back then11:17
Tm_Tok, baby woke, will harrass you later (;)11:18
chrisccoulsondowngrading packages is not really supported is it?11:43
jpds!downgrade11:44
ubottuAttempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system.11:44
chrisccoulsoni was referring about downgrading individual packages, but i think that is not really supported by the package manager anyway11:45
chrisccoulsonthe only reason i ask is becuase someone opened a bug against brasero because it failed to downgrade from 0.9.1 to 0.8.2. It fails because the package was split between these 2 versions, and there are no conflicts/replaces to handle the downgrade11:45
chrisccoulsoni was just wondering whether to close it11:46
seb128yes, close it as invalid, downgrade are not supposed to be working11:48

chrisccoulsoni'm noticing some really odd nautilus behaviour here :/20:57
seb128chrisccoulson: which one?21:15
chrisccoulsonhi seb128. if i have nautilus in icon view, and then zoom in at greater than 100%, i see a lot of white space in the right hand-side of the window, causing the horizontal scroll bar to appear21:16
seb128which scrollbar?21:17
seb128chrisccoulson: similar to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46004421:17
seb128?21:17
chrisccoulsonthe horizontal one at the bottom of the window. it seems to appear for no reason21:18
ubottuGnome bug 460044 in GtkIconView "A way to space out the columns evenly" [Normal,Unconfirmed]21:18
seb128look at the first screenshot21:18
chrisccoulsonthat's quite possibly related, but in this case, nautilus shows the scrollbar21:18
seb128are you sure there is not a colum on the left which is not on screen?21:19
seb128I get a scrollbar here but I also get a column not on screen21:20
seb128but that's buggy indeed, you have lot of spacing on the right which is not useful21:20
chrisccoulsonthere doesn't appear to be any other columns. is there anywhere decent i can upload a screenshot too? it might be easier for me to explain that way21:21
chrisccoulsonthis seems to have only started in the last day or so21:21
seb128try downgrading gtk maybe and see if that's still an issue21:21
chrisccoulsonthanks, i'll try that shortly21:22
seb128or nautilus21:22
seb128"* Fix icon view RTL layout in compact view" is in the new version21:22
seb128which means layout changes, could have some side effects21:22
chrisccoulsonseb128 - the behaviour breaks between nautilus 2.26.1 and 2.26.221:28
chrisccoulsondoesn't seem to be gtk related21:28
chrisccoulsoni'll open a bug report on the bugzilla21:28
seb128right, what I wrote just before21:29
chrisccoulsonyeah, it seems like that21:29

rickspencer3kenvandine: I haven't installed it since alpha 522:19
chrisccoulsonabout the "Set System Time" button doing nothing?22:19
chrisccoulsonthat's a confusing gnome-panel issue22:19
james_wchrisccoulson: yeah, right at the end I found those bugs and realised it was probably that, but Mike didn't confirm22:20
chrisccoulsonit seems most likely the same bug, so I just marked it as a duplicate22:21
seb128the "set" button should probably be next to the combo and not close the dialog22:21
seb128combo -> spin buttons22:21
chrisccoulsonseb128 - that might make more sense22:22
chrisccoulsonseb128 - the current situation is a bit inconsistent. If I open time-admin, I need to be in the admin group to set the time. But any user can do it via the panel. It seems that the policy is different for the 2 separate actions22:24
seb128would not be a surprise since they are 2 different softwares22:25
james_wyeah, there's a bug on gnome-panel saying it should be one of "auth_admin*"22:26
seb128that could make sense22:27
chrisccoulsonis there any easy way of working out what symbols i'm missing in gdb?22:56
seb128use apport-retrace if that's a crash? ;-)23:03
seb128or look at the address and the process mapping to see what library matches it23:04
chrisccoulsonapport's not possible here. it's an abort i'm trying to debug. i'll have a look at the addresses and process mapping though23:06
chrisccoulsoni'm actually trying to debug a g_critical message in file-roller. I'm running it with G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals to make it abort so I can see where it comes from. is that the best way of doing that?23:07
