BUGabundoasac: my old copy of gwibber 1.2 stop pulling feeds :(00:21
asacBUGabundo: 2.0 is now good00:21
asactry it00:21
BUGabundoI would file a bug, but since its outdated00:21
BUGabundono one is supporting it00:22
BUGabundoasac: I'm using it00:22
BUGabundobut has many bugs00:22
asaclatest?00:22
ftaasac, but upgrades should restart the daemon00:22
BUGabundotends to jam00:22
BUGabundoits very slow00:22
asacfta: we fixed that somewhat00:22
BUGabundoRefresh doesn't work00:22
BUGabundono Jaiku support00:22
asacwe stop the daemon now if you explicitly quit gwibber00:22
BUGabundoasac: FINALLY00:22
ftaoh; good00:22
asacBUGabundo: refresh works ;)00:22
BUGabundoI had to kill it manually00:22
asacBUGabundo: could be that some backend is broken00:22
asacwe want to know which backend it is00:23
asacBUGabundo: maybe you are not running the build from today00:23
BUGabundodaily build00:23
asacit was approved like 8 hours ago or so00:23
BUGabundo2.0 will not support Jaiku00:23
asacdaily might be too old00:23
asacyes00:23
BUGabundoAFAIK00:23
ftait seems like if you upgrade gwibber without restarting it, it dies. at least until yesterday00:23
asacbut refresh and stuff is now solid00:23
asacall the threading is fixed ;)00:23
BUGabundo  Installed: 2.0.0~bzr476-0ubuntu100:23
asacfta: that might be a different thing. but gwibber died regularly00:23
asacjust because it was using multi-ple threads00:23
asacwithout ensuring thread-safeness00:24
BUGabundohow come daily is older?00:24
BUGabundo2.0.0~bzr473-0ubuntu2~daily100:24

asacthats a minor bug compared to what we have before00:24
ftadh_install: thunderbird-3.0 missing files (debian/tmp/usr/lib/thunderbird-3.0*/[LR]*), aborting00:24
BUGabundoasac: from user POV it stays the same00:24
asacbut you can just click on "messages" again and will see all the updates00:24
asacBUGabundo: well. not really ;) the same00:24
asacyou can at least get new dents/tweets00:25
asacusually update works00:25
asacbut sometimes not00:25
asacso you get used to it until we fixs that in SRU00:25
asacfta: tbird is a beast00:25
BUGabundoand why SOOO big delay between pulling it , and showing on notify osd?00:25
asacBUGabundo: thats notify-osd00:25
asacBUGabundo: so some backends take like 3-10 seconds to pull00:26
asacso you get the notifications at least with that delay00:26
BUGabundothat's plain bad00:26
asac+ you notify-osd also defers notifications like 10 seconds or so sometimes00:26
BUGabundoasac: so https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/446146 will just be SRU?00:26

BUGabundoits a shame00:29

asacno ... i didnt talk to any kernel folk, because i know the procedure. rerolling a kernel after RC is far off00:30
BUGabundoI know00:31

lunatichey everyone i am running jaunty and have a problem with swiftfox - the browser resets all my settngs, and bookmarks/history are inacessible if i am not running browser as root00:43
lunatici have tried chmod and various solutions found on the forums, but alas00:44
lunaticanyone with a solution?00:45
BUGabundohitting the pillow. gdnuit everyone00:54
asaclunatic: we dont do swiftfox in here usually01:01
asacbut following things you find on forums usually makes it worse ;)01:01
asacthats all i can say:)01:01
asaclunatic: its most likely a packaging thing01:02
asacif you ever run a firefox/xulrunner as root01:02
asacyou will be busted01:02
asacat least on old branches you could never run it as user again01:02
asacso never ever run as root01:02
lunaticasac i had the same problem with firefox01:02
asacis the most important rule01:02
asacyes01:02
asacin the past that was an issue with firefox01:02
asacnot sure if its still an issue01:02
asaci hoped not01:02
asacbut running any mozilla as root is strictly destructive01:03
lunaticwell i read that ppl got to solve the issue01:03
asacso what you probably need to do01:03
asacis to remove the package ... find everything that is left behind01:03
asacin the /usr/li/... directories it used01:03
asacand remove them manually01:03
lunaticlike profile folders? ok got it01:03
lunaticand then get firefox 3.5?01:03
asaclunatic: well. most of those solutions are liek: "you need to run as root" ... you need to remove your profile from time to time ... you need to do x y z ... or something other ugly01:03
asaclunatic: yes. and if you ran it as root you might have now root only files in your profile01:04
lunaticasac i did notice that^^01:04
asacso you really should first cleanup all the stuff01:04
asace.g. remove package01:04
asaccheck that there is nothing left in /usr/lib/ etc.01:04
asacthat is remotely related01:04
asacto swiftfox01:04
asacmaybe check if there is something still in /usr/lib/swiftfox after removing01:04
asacthen fix your profile01:05
asacchown USERNAME -R /path/to/profile01:05
asacand hope for the bets01:05
asacbest01:05
asacnext time when it doesnt start01:05
asacdont try as root01:05
asac;)01:05
asacrather try disabling extensions etc01:05
asacfirst01:05
asacthere is almost no way running mozilla as root will help ;)01:06
asacit will only cause more pain01:06
asaclunatic: if you hard core you can use things like strace -eopen -f firefox  ... and check what files it cannot open etc.01:06
asacthough it needs a trained eye to spot that among all the crap that comes out there ;)01:07
asachmm. did that sound like harsh words or why did he skip ;)01:09
asacnight01:10
lunaticyay i got kicked out of my session)01:11
lunaticokay i have --purge removed swiftfox, the SF dir in /usr/lib got deleted.01:14
ftaasac, i knew there was something weird with tb3... debian/tmp/usr/lib/thunderbird-3.1a1pre  it's no longer 3.001:53

av`asac, yes, I follow gnome-bluetooth for debian12:27
av`asac, did you read that bug report?12:27

asacthats why putting it in gnome-bluetooth is right12:27

asacin the end it should be wrapped in bluez api12:27
av`in the bug report of course12:28

ftadtchen, i think my problem with openarena is that it takes nearly all the cpu on my 2 cores, like 180% cpu, and p-a fights for the rest17:28
dtchenfta: yes, it's a SDL issue17:28
dtchenan SDL*17:28
dtchenit's on my queue for today17:29
ftaohoh, nice17:29
ftais stardict installable? for me, it has been unupgradeable for months :(18:05
ftaoh, nm. i remember now. scrollkeeper vs rarian-compat18:07

dtchenfta: these SDL changes to PulseAudio themselves are _huge_21:32
dtchenfta: I haven't even started looking at the ALSA ones, though I expect them to be less invasive21:32
dtchenfta: Karmic's SDL driver for Pulse is horridly outdated21:33
ftadtchen, i have no doubts about that. let me know if you want me to try something21:33
dtchenfta: I'm afraid it will take more than 24 hours just to review the code changes21:34
dtchenfta: ...yeah, this stuff isn't going into karmic-updates at all. It'll be much better in lucid.22:01
BUGabundoeeh22:01
BUGabundoit will always be much better :)22:01
dtchenfta: I should have something in the ubuntu-audio-dev soon after, if not by, karmic's release.22:02
dtchenthe 100% cpu usage is caused by both the pulse output plugin and SDL spinning in their respective loops22:02
dtchentwice the work for the fail22:02
dtchenand on top of that, it's not even progress; it's just busy spinning doing nothing22:03
ftadtchen, that explains a lot..22:04
dtchen...and the alsa output plugin just does buffering all wrong22:06
dtchenit looks like I need to keep an eye on libSDL, too :/22:07
BUGabundodtchen: thanks for the note. I'm realying it to joaopinto who is also suffenring from it22:11
ftait will probably help with vbox too22:12
