dtchenasac: capture is tricky. PA sometimes does odd things with mixer controls. I've only read about it second- / third-hand (can't reproduce it locally due to limited hw).00:03
ftamicahg, scim?00:06
micahgfta: no, uim00:06
micahghttps://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/uim00:06
ftatoo bad, scim has been crashing for months, if not years00:07
ftaand scim is an uim00:07
ftaa00:07
micahgbeen crashing firefox?00:07
ftano, just itself00:07
micahgI felt bad for the guy who ran around so much, so I tried to push it through00:08
dtchenasac: I can't see anything in the changes that would have killed it? When it happens again, please file a bug against pulseaudio and also use "apport-collect -p alsa-base #"00:20
asacdtchen: its really odd. started again with no real cause00:51
asacpreviousl reboots didnt help00:51
asacthis time it helped :(00:51
asaclinphone-3 if you want to try that ;)00:51
asacthis time reboot helped - after it suddenly started working without reboot  that is ;)00:51
ftaasac, [21:30] <fta> asac, the meta bug: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=2828701:01
dtchenasac: would need amixer output at the least01:01
dtchenfta: your issue with ALSA apps routed through the pulse pcm plugin is really quite hairy. It turned out to be a perfect storm of linux + alsa-plugins.01:02
dtchenfta: and, for better or worse, it affects every single current Linux distribution released in the past 6 months.01:03
ftai thought i was alone, hence the lack of fixes for months :P01:03
dtchenalso, I can't believe I spent an entire weekend chasing it. I'm going to sleep for a week or something.01:03
asacdtchen: what kind of amixer output?01:04
asacis that really useful? i clearly use the pulse plugin ;)01:05
dtchenasac: yes, I need to see what the ALSA driver thinks the hw mixer state is01:05
dtchenasac: (and your recording issue isn't tied to the bits above)01:06
ftadtchen, do you have a bug i can follow?01:06
dtchenfta: 48548801:07
ftalp?01:07
ftabug 48548801:08
ubottuLaunchpad bug 485488 in alsa-plugins "Applications routed through the pulse pcm alsa-plugin crackle/die quickly" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/48548801:08
ftagood, that's the same01:09
dtchenthe nasty part is that we could update every single ALSA app to use the new semantics with some tweaks01:09
dtchenbut that, uh, isn't going to scale01:10
dtchenfurther, it breaks completely for non-HDA drivers01:10
dtchenso I'm going to have to patch linux and alsa-plugins both :(01:10
ftauh01:11
ftapatching apps won't help those runing non free games01:12
dtchenthat's precisely my point01:12
dtchenthe original changes to sound/pci/hda/hda* were for latency adjustments to make PA work better01:12
dtchenwell, they certainly achieved that part *as long as native PA backends* were used01:13
dtchenthe pulse pcm plugin has to handle all legacy apps and is thus much more constrained01:13

Unggnuhi all08:47
UnggnuDoes anyone know how to get the "undo closed tab" option in the context menu back in Firefox 3.6?08:48
UnggnuIf I use the archive from mozilla.com I have one but not with the amd64 build from the repository08:48
micahgUnggnu: I don't know, I was wondering that myself09:28
Unggnumicahg, ok09:28
micahgUnggnu: are you using the daily build?09:29
UnggnuSomeone the menu item is also missing in Firefox 3.6 in Gentoo09:29
Unggnumicahg, yes09:29
micahgugh, another 64 bit issue09:29
Unggnubut it is definitely there in the tar-Archive from the MOzilla-HP09:29
micahgUnggnu: are you trying a 64 bit Mozilla build?09:29
Unggnumicahg, yes09:29
micahgUnggnu: and that has it?09:29
Unggnuthe 64 Bit from the daily not, the 32 Bit from the HP-Archive has it09:30
UnggnuI couldn't use the 32 Bit because all my plugins are 64 Bit09:30
micahgUnggnu: yeah, I think it might be a 64 bit issue09:31
Unggnuprobably09:31
* micahg is checking for a Mozilla 64 bit build09:32
UnggnuThey only have the 32 Bit one precompiled I guess09:32
UnggnuThanks for testing. I have to go, ciao.09:35

armin76asac: i explained it on the bug! :(14:25

asachmm most likely the -ffmpeg wasnt copied to lucid repo15:10
asacpace_t_zulu: check if adding karmic repo helps15:10
pace_t_zuluwill do15:11
ftajust copied the karmic debs to lucid15:11
pace_t_zuluenabling the karmic repo solves it15:13

asacnp15:15
asacpace_t_zulu: remember to disable them again. fta now copied the ffmpeg stuff to lucid too ... so all should be fine for the future15:16
pace_t_zuluasac: ya ... glad it's worked out15:17
pace_t_zulunow someone installing alpha 1 won't have this problem ;)15:17
pace_t_zuluso it did just crash when i navigated to launchpad.net15:19

kenvandinefta, thx for adding me to the bot mail :)16:51
kenvandineasac, tomorrow is thanksgiving, but in the US most people get friday as a holiday too16:51
kenvandinetechnically not a holiday for us though, but most of us will be taking it off i am sure16:51
asackk thx for demystifying ;)16:53
kenvandinekids don't have school today either, and my wife invited a bunch of neighbor kids over to occupy our's... i am happy to lock my office door and crank up the music :)16:54
asackenvandine: enjoy ;)16:54
asackenvandine: if you know how to debug alsa capture devices going through pulse plugin, i am here ;)16:55
asac(jus because of music ;))16:56
kenvandinehaha... nope, i avoid pulse/alsa stuff :)16:56
ftakenvandine, np, i just noticed i need to merge the branches since i moved back to trunk16:58
ftadone. let's see if that's enough16:59

asaclinphone-warning : Could not attach mixer to card: Invalid argument17:04
asacthat doesnt sound good17:04
asacwhat does that mean ;)?17:04
asacis the mixer important :)17:04
asac?17:04
kenvandinesounds like it is bypassing pulse completely and going for alsa17:07
ftaasac, i was thinking.. your -Wa,-mimplicit-it=thumb should probably be in configure17:08
asacfta: it will get added to toolchain ... but we want something before doko comes back ;)17:10
asacfrom vac17:11
asacso this is the quick and dirty way ;)17:11

debfxcould the firefox and abrowser branding packages provide a symlink with the same name that points to their application icons?18:08
debfxthe firefox kde integration helper app needs a constant name for the icon18:09
asacmaybe18:12
asacnot sure18:12
asaci thought that the installer is supposed to be removed if the browser package got installed18:13
asacat least thats what came out of UDS discussion ;)18:13
debfxi'm not talking about the installer18:21
debfxhttp://gitorious.org/firefox-kde-opensuse/firefox-kde-opensuse/trees/master/kmozillahelper18:21
debfxthat's the helper app nedded for the kde integration from opensuse18:22
debfxit needs a static icon name for the download finished popups18:24

dtchenasac: weekday USA east coast business hours are *really* bad for debugging on IRC; I pretty much have to use LP bug mail for ping-pong due to work restrictions21:01

ftaNov 23 21:49:09 <kenvandine>      fta, i want to see why ryan was doing the +2 thing22:31
ftaNov 23 21:57:30 <kenvandine>      ok... it was to compensate for a bug in an older webkit version22:31
BUGabundokenvandine: why was the local preference to change size removed ??22:32
ftaNov 23 21:47:27 <kenvandine>      i have a fix for that22:32
ftaNov 23 21:47:35 <kenvandine>      including the preferences ui that lies22:32
BUGabundonot having one is worse...22:32
BUGabundodarn upgrades...22:32
ftaNov 23 21:49:34 <kenvandine>      but aside from that, the preferences UI says you can over-ride fonts22:32
ftaNov 23 21:49:36 <kenvandine>      but you can't22:32
BUGabundoI could22:33
BUGabundoI used too22:33
