|---|---|---|
| mac_v | the bug regarding gnome-screensaver not being inhibited during video playback... seems to happen only in vlc from me... but when i play the videos using totem the screensaver doesnt activate... how is totem alone able to do it? | 10:34 |

| chrisccoulson | hi mac_v | 11:44 |
| chrisccoulson | totem uses the (correct) gnome-session inhibit API | 11:44 |
| chrisccoulson | VLC uses an old method which doesnt work any more | 11:44 |
| mac_v | chrisccoulson: hmm , ok... then why is it a gpm bug? why cant vlc use the same API as totem? | 13:34 |
| chrisccoulson | mac_v - which bug are you referring to? | 14:00 |
| mac_v | chrisccoulson: Bug #428884 | 14:01 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 428884 in gnome-screensaver "gnome-screensaver-command --poke no longer inhibits screensaver" [Unknown,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/428884 | 14:01 |
| chrisccoulson | who says it's a gpm bug? | 14:01 |
| mac_v | oh , so its a screensaver bug? | 14:02 |
| * mac_v got confused :? | 14:02 | |
| chrisccoulson | its a bug in gnome-screensaver that the --poke command doesnt work, but VLC should be using the inhibit API really | 14:02 |
| chrisccoulson | sorry i take a while to reply - baby to look after now! | 14:02 |
| mac_v | chrisccoulson: congrats :) | 14:03 |
| chrisccoulson | heh, thanks :) | 14:03 |
| mac_v | chrisccoulson: then should i reopen the vlc task? | 14:04 |
| chrisccoulson | mac_v - not for now. it's probably something which should be discussed upstream | 14:04 |
| chrisccoulson | the bug has turned in to describing the issue about the --poke command not working, which affects several applications, rather than specifically being about VLC | 14:05 |
| chrisccoulson | if anything, there should be a separate bug report for VLC using the new inhibit API | 14:05 |
| mac_v | chrisccoulson: ah , ok... i'll wont disturb you now.../me tiptoes out ;) | 14:05 |
| chrisccoulson | thanks :) | 14:05 |
| * chrisccoulson heads off back to baby | 14:05 | |
| ircuser | Is it safe to use my Western Digital Passport Essential to use in Linux(Karmic)? I have been using it in Vista till now. I have heard people say that Ubuntu will damage or corrupt the file system. | 20:11 |
| rickspencer3 | ircuser, who said that? is there a link or something I can check out? | 20:13 |
| rickspencer3 | I think this is just a normal USB hardrive, right? | 20:13 |
| ircuser | rickspencer3: no nick...sorry...but as a generel perception (i won't say majority) but around me..some friends and seniors...and i was not sure | 20:14 |
| ircuser | rickspencer3: yeah.. use 2.0 .. 500gb... portable...ntfs... | 20:14 |
| rickspencer3 | ircuser, hmm | 20:15 |
| rickspencer3 | I don't know why you would experience a problem reading/writing to a hard drive | 20:15 |
| ircuser | rickspencer3: even i don't know...i have started using ubuntu and i use it primarily as my os..but i also use vista as i can't migrate completely...so i was worried...may be file system corruption etc... | 20:17 |
| rickspencer3 | this is just an external drive that you connect with USB, right? | 20:17 |
| ircuser | rickspencer3: and every file that i write to ntfs partition from ext4 (ubuntu) is marked as shared | 20:17 |
| ircuser | rickspencer3: yes | 20:17 |
| rickspencer3 | ircuser, it sounds like it's time for you to back up your data in any case (if you're worried about losing it for any reason) | 20:18 |
| rickspencer3 | but there's no reason other OS's shouldn't be able to read and write files with it | 20:19 |
| ircuser | rickspencer3: right. but it's a new ext hard disk and this is the hard disk i bought for backup task...so it's now like protecting the protector :) | 20:19 |
| rickspencer3 | well, like I say, there shouldn't be a problm | 20:20 |
| rickspencer3 | you might want to ask in #ubuntu, as this channel is for ubuntu developers, and they are all traveling home from UDS atm | 20:20 |
| ircuser | rickspencer3: it reads and writes ... just needed to be sure that there's no potential damage..thanksf or your help.... | 20:20 |
| ircuser | rickspencer3: oh... | 20:20 |
| rickspencer3 | ircuser, np | 20:20 |
| ircuser | rickspencer3: thanks a lot... | 20:21 |
| rickspencer3 | sure | 20:21 |
| rickspencer3 | have fun | 20:21 |
| mannyv | im looking at a control file and debian depends on debhelper (>= 7) while the ubuntu version depends on debhelper (>= 7.0.17ubuntu2) but the version in lucid will be 7.4.3ubuntu2 so can I change it back to (>= 7) ? | 20:58 |
| Keybuk | no | 20:58 |
| Keybuk | clearly not | 20:58 |
| mannyv | ok but I am wondering why if the lucid version will be > than 7.0.17ubuntu2 | 20:59 |
| Keybuk | mannyv: it doesn't change the fact that the package needs >= 7.0.17ubuntu2 to build | 20:59 |
| Keybuk | it's quite common for people to backport packages from the development release | 21:00 |
| mannyv | ok fair enough | 21:00 |
| Keybuk | even to hardy | 21:00 |
| Keybuk | and they'll still need the updated debhelper | 21:00 |
| mannyv | Keybuk, that obviously makes sense, thanks | 21:10 |

| Amaranth | mannyv: Packages should always reflect their actual dependencies anyway. Obviously versions older than 7.0.17ubuntu2 didn't have a feature the package needs | 23:45 |
| SoftwareExplorer | Is there a common library or something that is in charge of drawing sound visualizations in both totem and rhythmbox | 23:51 |
| SoftwareExplorer | ? | 23:52 |
