Ampelbeinhggdh: what seems to be the problem with greasemonkey? It works just fine here with FF 3.500:15
hggdhAmpelbein, mine is disabled, stating it is not compatible with 3.5.200:25
hggdhI am almost to the point where it is worth the pain to just rm -rf the ffox profile, and start new00:26
micahgwhat version is your extension?00:26
Ampelbeinhggdh: strange. what version of greasemonkey do you have, it works here with 0.8.20090123.1-0ubuntu200:26
micahghggdh you can test with a new profile firefox-3.5 -ProfileManager00:26
hggdhyay, that's mine00:29
hggdhheh. It is back00:32
hggdh(on 3.0)00:32
hggdhwell. Go figure. Nothing like a selective cleanup of the profile...00:39
komputeschrisccoulson: Bug #390304 is actually pretty big...01:43
ubot4Launchpad bug 390304 in devicekit-disks "external usb disk drives are mounted under their UUID's" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/39030401:43
chrisccoulsonwhy?01:43
chrisccoulsonusing UUID's as the mount point is intended, and is not considered a bug01:44
komputeschrisccoulson: "using UUID's as the mount point is intended"  -where do you get this from?01:55
chrisccoulsonfrom the source code of devicekit-disks?02:00
komputeschrisccoulson: yes, but it creates a regression as compared to previous releases02:00
chrisccoulsonthe design intent is to use UUID's as a fallback if the volume has no label02:00
chrisccoulsonso if you don't want UUID's, set a label on your volume02:00
komputeschrisccoulson: the fact that the design of devicekit makes it that way is a side effect of moving to devicekit, users should not have to set labels on disks02:01
chrisccoulsoni don't see what the issue is here. UUID's and labels are persistent. "disk-1", "disk-2" etc are not persistent, and depend on the order in which you inser the volume02:01
chrisccoulsonthats more confusin02:01
chrisccoulsong02:01
chrisccoulsonand there are still human readable names in computer:///, which is how most people will access their media02:02
komputeschrisccoulson: plus many of our documentation makes reference to out use of mountpoints such as /media/disk, disk-1, disk-202:02
chrisccoulsonwell, the documentation should be fixed then02:02
komputeschrisccoulson: please place a comment concerning consistency in the bug - i see where you're coming from now02:03
chrisccoulsonkomputes - i will do. i was going to write a comment when i set the importance earlier, but i did it from my phone and i had coverage problems when i tried to do it02:03
chrisccoulsonbut i'm going to bed now, so i'll do it in the morning02:03
komputesk, np02:03
komputesi'll put a note in then02:04
komputeschrisccoulson: night'02:04
chrisccoulsoni'm not saying it's not a bug though - perhaps the behaviour will be changed02:04
chrisccoulsonbut i don't think it's a high priority issue right now02:04
chrisccoulsonand it's the intended behaviour "for now" ;)02:04
komputesbut you do make a good point about persistence, i just wanted to avoid alienating users02:04
komputeschrisccoulson: medium importance?02:05
chrisccoulsonpersonally, i don't have much preference either way. but i do slightly prefer the persistence02:05
chrisccoulsonkomputes - i think the importance is ok where it is for now02:05
chrisccoulsonanyway, i've got to go to bed - i'm up again in 4 hours ;)02:05
komputesadvanced users would prefer persistence, new users, easy names02:06
komputesk 'night02:06
chrisccoulsonpossibly, but new users get easy names in computer:///02:06
komputespath02:06
komputeseasy name in the path02:06
chrisccoulsoni hope new users don't think they have to navigate to /media to find their volumes02:06
chrisccoulsonyeah02:06
komputesno, but they may need to point some programs to it that way02:06
komputeswe both have strong points, i'll update the bug02:07
chrisccoulsonkomputes - you're possibly right about pointing some programs to it using the path - but most applications on the default install should be using GIO anyway02:07
komputesi agree02:08
komputesbut not all do02:08
chrisccoulsonso the media is accessible in computer:/// by its pretty name ;)02:08
komputescomputer:/// is a gnome thing02:08
komputeslet's not assume02:08
komputesPlus, haven't checked but this may affect server, so without auto-complete it makes the job of typing in a path impossible..02:09
chrisccoulsonkomputes - there is nothing to do automounting on the server02:10
komputesok02:11
chrisccoulsonthe automounting is initiated in nautilus via gvfs in gnome02:11
komputeschrisccoulson: what does device kit replace in karmic? HAL/UDEV?02:11
chrisccoulsonwell, there is no such thing as devicekit now - applications now use udev directly (using libudev)02:12
chrisccoulsondevicekit-disks is to replace the disk handling part of HAL02:13
chrisccoulsonand devicekit-power replaces some power management parts of HAL02:13
komputesok, thanks for clarifying02:13
chrisccoulsonand applications that previously used HAL for discovering devices and properties about those devices now probe udev directly02:13
chrisccoulson"devicekit" was just a temporary daemon acting as a wrapper around udev to allow user applications to access it02:14

theaaroncHello all. Question, would the BugSquad be an ok place for someone who is somewhat competent with Ubuntu but has never done anything within the community?08:57
theaaroncWhile I've used Ubuntu as a second partition on my machine for some time I only recently dropped windows all together. I'm looking for some way I can contribute, and the Ubuntu community page lead me to (among other things) the BugSquad info09:01
theaaroncit sounds like something that requires minimal knowledge and beyond operating the local desktop/server environment I fall into that catagory09:03
theaaroncguess I should have just read more. This line seems to answer my question "Bug triage is an excellent way to start helping out. You get to learn a lot about Ubuntu, its available packages, its infrastructure, and you get a feel for the development pulse."09:22

mac_vhmm. no14:26
mac_vi'm using silvermel ,14:26
mac_vtheaaronc: silvermelXT , but i'v been having this problem always  :( only now it took the time to report it14:27
thekornmac_v, can you reproduce this bug with the default theme14:27
mac_vhmm... let me check again14:27
thekornI remeber a bug where somethng like this happend for some custom themes14:28
thekornI think it was bug 13519114:29
ubot4Launchpad bug 135191 in mozilla-thunderbird "[GUTSY] thunderbird crashed x86-64" [Medium,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/13519114:29
mac_vthekorn: i think you are right ! its not crashing with the default theme! so where should this be reported14:31
thekornmac_v, is the theme you are using in an official package?14:32
thekornin this case you should report it against this package14:33
mac_vsilly quest,  are there official themes  , i never knew... let me check14:33
thekornwhat's the name of the theme?14:34
mac_vtheaaronc:  silvermel is a thunderbird theme , not a gtk theme , that bug talks about a gtk theme14:34
mac_voops , thekorn ^14:35
thekornoh14:35
mac_vi'll try it with another different theme and see , i have been using silvermel for a very long time14:36
thekornmac_v, In this case I think you should contact the author of this theme, report your bug there,14:36
thekornand mark it as invalid for thunderbird14:36
thekornbut maybe double check with the people in #ubuntu-mozilla14:37
pedro_mac_v, just wondering, why did you tagged the bug as usability ?14:37
mac_vyeah , if it doesnt happen to any other theme , i'll mark it invalid , or if it happens with all themes , i'll leave it as such :)14:37
thekorn(or whatever this channel for the mozilla team is called)14:38
mac_vpedro_: it affects me using thunderbird ;p , i have not been able to use it when the setting was set to 1 min14:38
thekornhey pedro_14:38
pedro_hello thekorn, how's going?14:38
mac_vpedro_: was that a wrong tag?14:39
pedro_mac_v, well in that case every single crash would be an usability issue :-P14:39
mac_vlol , true , i'll remove it :)14:39
thekornpedro_, very good, how about you?14:40
screamCAn someone check https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/41695214:41
ubot4Launchpad bug 416952 in ubuntu "Package not in repo" [Undecided,New]14:41
pedro_mac_v, no worries, thanks!14:41
thekornscream, this is not a bug we can care about, you are using a third party repository for thunderbird14:42
pedro_thekorn, nice to know!. I'm good too ;-)14:42
screamI am?14:42
* scream checks14:42
screamI have no third part repo's enabled.14:43
thekornscream, ehmm, maybe not, but you are using a mirror, so maybe it is out of sync or such14:44
thekornor just not available14:44
thekornbest is to check with whoever runs this mirror14:44
screamI actually just changed to the "main server" in the settings.15:10
screamI don't have time for mirrors who get out of sync.15:10
mac_vpedro_: thekorn i cant reproduce the problem with any other theme! so i guess i'll invalidate it and send an email to the dev :)15:16
mac_vthekorn: thanx for pointing it out  :) , this bugged me for god knows how long!15:17
thekornmac_v, no problem, remember setting the status of the bug to invalid ;)15:46
thekornand maybe add a comment which explains that this seems to be related to the theme15:47
thekornfor future references15:47
mac_vthekorn: will do , just have to restart for updates now  ;)15:48

thekornjjardon, sorry, but what exactly is the bug here?16:11
thekornjjardon, ah, I think I got it now, the ubuntu package is still depending on hal, although it shouldn't16:12
jjardonthekorn, network-manager package is packaged with hal dependecy, and this is not necesary16:12
jjardonthekorn, correct ;)16:13

pedro_greg-g, i don't recall that was it ever suggested, but it's redundant if you use apport-bug since that information is available on the description16:54
pedro_greg-g, and it's better to update the description rather than the title if the bug affects more than one release, I've seen weird titles with [hardy..... karmic] or [karmic<->something] etc16:56
