^arky^Is there a bug related to that GTK-warnings06:26
micahgidk ^arky^, have you searched yet?06:27
^arky^hi micahg , I did06:27
^arky^no results that match this particular warning in lucid yet06:28
^arky^is this transitional problem, trying to get to package maintainer06:28

diffraHi all, was wondering if i could get some help with bug 47385206:29
ubot4Launchpad bug 473852 in tsclient "Unable to add Terminal Server Client Panel Applet" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/47385206:29
diffraIt's fixed upstream in debian -- what's the process to request that it get backported, or is it just assumed broken until lucid?06:30
micahgdiffra: do you have a link to the debian bug?06:30
micahg^arky^: if you're running lucid, the support nchannel #ubuntu+1 is open agai06:31
^arky^ah! I get it06:31

ubot4Debian bug 538035 in tsclient "tsclient: Applet is broken in 0.150-2" [Important,Fixed]06:32
micahgdiffra: how experienced are you?06:33
diffrain ubuntu bugs?  not terribly.  I'm a linux admin by trade though, so fairly experienced in most other things.06:34
micahgdiffra: if you can prepare the patch, it will get done a lot faster06:35
micahgdiffra: does the tsclient app still work ok?06:36
diffrathe app itself?  yeah.  The panel applet is the only thing that's broken.06:36
micahgok06:36
micahghttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates06:37
micahgdiffra: that's the procedure for getting an update to a current release06:38
diffraSo, if i'm understanding correctly, i'd need to supply the patch (is this different from the patch to the debian bug?  i'd assume not.)06:39
micahgdiffra: you'll also want to click the Nominate for Release if you'd like to see the fix in Karmic06:39
diffranod.06:40
micahgit should be a pretty simple patch06:41
diffraSo, i'd need to first get it into Lucid though, per the SRU policy, no?  it still has the same broken version.06:41
micahgyes, the way to do that would be to request a sync if one doesn't exist06:42
micahgdiffra: there's a command line tool in ubuntu-dev-tools to request a sync06:43
micahgcall requestsync06:43

MagicFabtx13:49
seb128you're welcome13:50
MagicFabmine is a clean install so no, not a dup.13:50
seb128short story, dvd playing is known to be broken13:50
seb128we have a zillion on similar looking bugs13:50
seb128but nobody is working on dvd playing13:50
seb128especially not on libdvdcss, etc issue13:51
seb128since those can't be legaly distributed or be part of the install anyway13:51
MagicFabseb128, agreed, so Totem should at least fail completely/gracefully instead of locking up or proposing codecs that won't fix the issue.13:51
seb128right13:52

WeatherGodyeah... and it is still in the repos and the CD.... just not installed by default16:08
WeatherGodthey are arguing that there isn't a suitable equivalent of MS Paint to fill the gap16:09
diffraIt's funny, I actually had a personal experience with this last night.16:10
WeatherGodoh?16:10
diffraMy wife (longtime windows user, uses my ubuntu machine from time to time.) wanted to resize some images on a memory card.16:10
diffrawatching her struggle with gimp made me realize how good of a decision this was.16:10
WeatherGodyeah, I know... it is much easier to use convert from the command-line16:11
WeatherGod:-P16:11
diffraI agree :-P16:11
WeatherGodbut, I really don't have that many issues with gimp... it really is a good program16:12
WeatherGodI do admit that there are some stumbling blocks sometimes16:12
diffraSure, it's just too complicated for a default image editor.16:12

ubot4Launchpad bug 484875 in linux "Nvidia GPU overheating on Toshiba P100" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/48487517:27
WeatherGodhe tried the absolute latest nvidia drivers and they still don't control his graphics card fan correctly17:27
micahgWeatherGod: is it CPU or GPU?17:31
WeatherGodGPU17:31
micahguser seems to be confused17:31
WeatherGodoh?17:32
micahgnot the op, I guess17:32
WeatherGodhe says that the CPU temp is stable, but the GPU temp rises while using Ubuntu17:32
WeatherGodah, Rakhmad?17:33
WeatherGodyeah, he isn't the op17:33
micahgwell, if it's the graphics drivers, linux isn't the right package17:33
micahgbut I don't know where the GPU is controlled17:33
micahghave you talked to #ubuntu-x and #ubuntu-kernel?17:33
WeatherGodright, but I wasn't sure if it was acpi related or not17:33
WeatherGodno, probably should go there next17:33
micahgyeah, try #ubuntu-x, see if the graphics drivers control the GPU17:34
micahgif so, then maybe an upstream nvidia bug is necessary, but they'll be able to advise you better WeatherGod17:34
WeatherGodgotcha17:34
WeatherGodmicahg, not a chatty group, but it looks like they wanted it filed against the nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 package, fy17:42
WeatherGod*fyi17:42
micahgright, that's what I was wondering17:42
micahgthat's the latest package in ubuntu17:42
WeatherGodheh, they are claiming it is a hardware issue.... dispite the report that it works while logged into Windows17:49
WeatherGodmicahg, the X people are now saying that it doesn't belong to the nvidia drivers, and passing me off to the kernel people18:15
micahgok18:16
micahgthat's why I suggested asking18:16
micahgit's not so clear :)18:16
WeatherGodand the kernel people have not said anything18:16
WeatherGodto anybody18:16
WeatherGodno, it isn't18:16
micahgwell, you have to be patient18:16

micahgWeatherGod: nice, did they tell you what to do with the bug though20:30
