alex-weejwow, the new update-manager behaviour is fucking annoying00:01
alex-weeji close it every 20 minutes it seems00:01
alex-weeji can't update because the mirrors are hosed00:01
alex-weejand they're not even critical updates00:01
Ampelbeinalex-weej: update-manager just closes here for no reason after i click start upgrade, but only after downloading the required packages, as a quick test with aptitude shows...00:07
Ampelbeinand i ddos'd my server by not specifying an uploade-rate limit in rtorrent. ;-)00:09

loolseb128: (BTW StevenK wants to handle UNR these days)10:00
loolseb128: That's probably an ubuntu-cdimage bug, looking10:00
seb128lool: I'm just looking to the recent bugs list and reassigning things where I can10:00
loolseb128: Yup, thanks for that; I'm trying to give you the best contact for the future10:00
seb128thanks10:01
seb128bug #365846 too10:01
ubottuLaunchpad bug 365846 in ubuntu "UNR installation problem" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/36584610:01
seb128that one is not really useful, would require debugging from somebody working on UNR10:01
seb128what is the best way to bring attention of the UNR team on a bug?10:01
seb128or let the team know "that's on UNR you should have a look"10:02
loolseb128: That's a good question10:02
seb128you don't have a component which can be used as triaging point for those?10:02
loolseb128: In theory, we set the ubuntu-unr tag on these bugs10:02
loolwhen reported with apport10:02
seb128or a team to subscribe10:02
seb128and you go through tagged bugs?10:03
loolMany people will also report bug against the upstream project, netbook-remix, but that's incorrect most of the time10:03
loolseb128: no we don't :-(10:03
loolseb128: I think we lack a good workflow for bugs, it has been the subject of discussions between UNR upstream and mobile team people10:03
seb128is there an ubuntu-unr team we can subscribe?10:03
seb128that would email notify the team members ;-)10:04
loolThere's an upstream netbook-remix team10:04
seb128ok, seems there is no easy way to notify concerned people there10:04
loolseb128: I'm trying to think of a comparable project; in practice we differ only by a small number of packages10:05
seb128I will let the bug where they are for now and assume that people interested in UNR will go through recent bugs having UNR in the title at some point then10:05
loolseb128: I think the team idea is the best one so far10:05
loolStevenK: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2009/04/24/%23ubuntu-desktop.txt10:06
seb128hey StevenK10:06
loolStevenK: Some minutes are still missing there; basically seb128 has a pile of UNR bugs and he's looking for a consistent way to bring our attention to them10:06
seb128lool: using the netbook-remix upstream one?10:06
loolStevenK: One suggestion seb128 made was to use an ubuntu-unr team which he would subscribe10:06
loolseb128: I think a new one makes more sense10:07
seb128you could have a launchpad mailinglist for the team which would receive the bug emails10:07
seb128should be easy enough to subscribe or look to the list for people triaging then10:07
StevenKMmmm10:07
loolStevenK: What do you think?  I think a new Ubuntu team makes sense; some bugs are related to cdimage stuff, others to the launcher, others to usability issues...10:07
loolWe could also have an Ubuntu Netbook Remix *in Ubuntu* project10:08
StevenKSounds great to me10:08
loolI personally think a team is a good first step; but I don't mind a project10:08
loolWe also have the ubuntu-unr tag10:08
seb128ubuntu-unr doesn't email notify you though10:09
loolThe problem I have with a project is that it's not clear when you close the bug, or it's going to be manual10:09
seb128you have to go pool on the list10:09
loolseb128: Ack10:09
loolI think team + tag are good10:09
seb128the project issue is that the ubuntu task still stay unassigned10:09
loolnew project > sounds like bad workflow, and extra work10:09
seb128me too10:09
loolStevenK: Could you set that up?10:09
seb128yeah, just create an ubuntu-unr launchpad team with a list to get bug emails10:10
StevenKlool, seb128: Done, and requested mailing list10:13
StevenKseb128: Do you want to be a member too, or do you get enough bug mail? :-)10:13
seb128StevenK: I've enough emails thanks ;-)10:14
seb128StevenK: if you set a mailinglist for the team members will not get emails though10:14
seb128StevenK: but I don't work on UNR, I just triage recent ubuntu bugs right now so I've no reason to join the team there10:14
StevenKseb128: Indeed10:14
loolStevenK: Do we want a ML or just use membership as a mean to get emails?10:15
StevenKlool: I've requested a mailing list10:15
loolStevenK: is there a benefit to a ML?10:16
lool(just curious)10:16
StevenKlool: Then we can have people in the team who don't get bugmail10:16
loolStevenK: Just sub-ed the team to its first bug  ;)10:16
* StevenK has cancelled the mailing list request10:17
loolI was fine either way really10:17

pittibut not without such a change18:27
* mpt is just whining now, ignore me18:27
mvopitti: no problem, then I just use the dmesg idea then18:27
seb128mpt: right, I might be complaining a bit, just try to not be too specific if you can, ie if any fileselector do write that rather than describing a specific way to open one in nautilus ;-)18:29
mptok18:29
seb128thanks18:29
seb128otherwise thanks for the user testing and the detailed descriptions you do in bugs18:29
seb128and thanks for opening those upstream too ;-)18:29
alex-weejcan we go back to the normal way of resizing windows in compiz now that it's not as slow as it used to be?18:51
alex-weejthat blue outline isn't even in any theme18:51
mvoseb128: I added dmesg output to apport package logs now, that should make it possible to see what segfaulted in maintainer scripts18:52
seb128mvo: excellent18:54
alex-weeji've changed the patch in the bzr package for compiz18:54
alex-weejhow do i properly get this change sponsored etc.?18:55
alex-weejdo i push the branch to lp myself?18:55
seb128alex-weej: if there is a bug subscribe ubuntu-main-sponsors18:56
seb128alex-weej: having either a debdiff on the bug or your bzr with the change18:56
seb128there is a lp feature to match a bug and a bzr18:56
seb128alex-weej: are you sure that the changes are faster now? or do you just assume that because it's fast on your box?18:57
alex-weeji've not seen a recent machine where it's been slow enough to warrant going back to Windows 95 resizing18:58
alex-weejbut i've not conducted a thorough test18:58
alex-weeji'll put the patch on and it can be closed "when it's ready" if people think not now18:59
seb128we tried before hardy ie one year ago19:01
seb128and on some box you could see it jumping when moving the cursor19:02
seb128I doubt that has changed, the issue is just slow video cards19:02
alex-weejseb128: jumping?19:02
pittigood night everyone19:03
seb128not being smooth19:03
seb128pitti: 'night19:03
seb128alex-weej: ie the graphic changes don't follow the mouse and catch up by jumping when they can19:03
alex-weejit's certainly not "smooth" now19:03
alex-weejbut... a giant blue rectangle?19:03
seb128the blue rectangle is not smooth for you?!19:03
seb128well, it gives an indicate of the change19:04
alex-weejno it is, i just don't see the point of it. if i'm resizing a window to make e.g. a web page FIT, i have no idea when i can stop making it wider if i see a blue rectangle19:04
seb128nobody complained about that until now19:04
alex-weejif it's actually resizing live, i can see when to stop19:04
seb128"live" is the issue19:04
alex-weejit's not an issue. it's slow, but it's a hell of a lot more usable and less ugly than a blue rectangle19:04
seb128if you get the view refreshing every second it's highly annoying19:04
alex-weejit's not that slow19:05
seb128depends of the video card as said19:05
seb128on my 5 years old laptop it is19:05
alex-weejif your graphics hardware is that slow at 2D yet still good enough to run compiz19:05
alex-weejyou got problems19:05
seb128it runs compiz just fine19:05
alex-weejevery /second/?19:05
alex-weejare you exaggerating?19:05
seb128enough to give a jumping effect19:06
seb128I don't think the eyes are good at make the difference between 600ms and 800ms19:06
seb128it's just slow enough to not be usable19:06
alex-weejseb128: 5 years old is out of the scope of ubuntu right?19:06
seb128no19:06
seb128ubuntu is working just fine on this box19:07
seb128it's a 1.5GHz box19:07
alex-weejwhy must you penalise people with newer machines with worse usability?19:07
seb128ubuntu runs on a 500mhz with 512 meg of rams19:07
seb128because we have no good way to make speed estimation?19:07
seb128it's not only old machine19:07
seb128lot of people are describing intel 2.6 drivers being too slow to be used with compiz in jaunty19:08
seb128on recent hardware19:08
seb128ie alt-tab and desktop switching are fine19:08
seb128but extra effects are slooooow19:08
alex-weejthe resizing issue is solely to do with 2D performance19:09
seb128we can try changing the setting value in karmic and see who complains19:09
alex-weejand CPU i guess (layout etc.)19:09
seb128expose too19:09
seb128and things people describe as slow in jaunty on intel19:09
seb128ideally we would have a video speed estimation by some way19:10
seb128and use that to know what to enable19:10
alex-weeji noticed expose was quite sluggish like 10fps on a fairly recent (~2 years) intel gma19:10
seb128as said we can try enabling the dynamic content refresh again in karmic19:10
seb128and see how it goes19:11
seb128anyway I've to run for now, diner time, bbl19:11
alex-weejcya19:11

james_wpedro_: chriscoulson was looking at it the other day19:12
pedro_james_w: ah good to know i was about to ask him or to didrocks since they're touching the package now19:13
james_wpedro_: yeah, not sure where he got to, but he had a theory of the cause, and is in communication with upstream19:14
pedro_james_w: awesome, looks worth it for an SRU, let's approve the nomination on the meantime, that's james_w19:15

pmatulishow does one report a boot degradation after upgrading to jaunty?  apply toward what package in Launchpad?19:37
james_wpmatulis: you mean a boot speed degradation?19:59
pmatulisjames_w: yeah, btw, i believe i just apply it towards 'ubuntu' and add a tag somewhere called 'boot-performance'20:00
james_wthat could work20:00
james_whave you generated a bootchart?20:00
pmatulisno, but the delay is right after grub: "boot from hd(0,0) .. UUID"20:01
pmatulisit sits there for about 12 seconds20:01
james_wah20:03
james_wthat's more specific20:03
james_wI'm not sure what component it would be there, but it's probably while searching for the root filesystem20:04
james_wpmatulis: you don't happen to have a Intel D945 motherboard do you?20:05
james_walso, a dmesg from the booted system would be good to attach20:06
pmatulisjames_w: it has the intel GM965 chipset, yes, of course dmesg20:11
james_wI ask because of bug 290153 from the release notes20:11
