_Groo_hi/2 all00:05
_Groo_i'm using radeon dri2/kms (im using for a long time now), since i upgraded to lucid with kde 4.4 beta 1 i cant activate compositing anymore. it works with compiz but not kwin.00:05
yofel_Groo_: the kde4.4beta release page says that compositing doesn't work for some hardware, maybe you're affected by that00:12
_Groo_yofel: it always worked since 4.0, and compiz is working00:13
_Groo_yofel: also, is the printer settings broken too?00:13
yofel_Groo_: see Known Problems http://kde.org/announcements/announce-4.4-beta1.php00:14
yofeldunno about the printer settings, I use hplip00:14
JontheEchidnaprinter settings are probably because the python bindings are still at KDE 4.3.300:15
JontheEchidnabut kdebindings fails to build in beta, which is typical each kde release00:15
_Groo_JontheEchidna: ahh true.. kdebindings are for 4.3.300:15
_Groo_4.3.400:15
_Groo_JontheEchidna: lol yeah, true00:16
DanaGgrr, kde 4.4 deals badly with multiple monitors.00:17
DanaGThe second monitor's background is in front of everything else.00:17
_Groo_yofel: some hardware is vage at least00:17
yofel_Groo_: well, I don't know more than that, sry00:17
_Groo_JontheEchidna: are you using 4.4? can you tell me if the clipboard (klipper) is broken?00:17
JontheEchidnaworks fine here00:17
yofel_Groo_: works for me00:17
yofel(klipper)00:18
DanaGAnd plasma segfaults all the time.... tons and tons of times.00:18
_Groo_yofel: very strange :P00:19
yofelnot here, I have a (fixed upstream) kwin crash sometimes, but otherwise kde works fine00:19
yofelah, about klipper: was 'use selection' turned on by default in kde4.3?00:19
yofelI thought that it was broken at first too00:19
_Groo_yofel: where do i set that?00:20
yofel_Groo_: I set 'ignore selection' in the settings to get it to work as I expected00:21
_Groo_yofel: you are joking?00:21
_Groo_yofel: its the negative???00:21
yofel_Groo_: no, what I mean is: I DO NOT want it to use the selection00:21
yofelI often replace selected text, which doesn't work with selection copy enabled00:22
_Groo_yofel: doesnt work, always empty and i do have selection00:22
DanaGSEcondary monitor (actually, the thing I WANT to have be primary!) is showing only a static image.00:23
_Groo_yofel: and it always crashes on exit00:23
yofel_Groo_: oh, might have seen that crash too, doesn't happen always though00:23
_Groo_yofel: im installing kdelibs5 dbs and qt4.5 dbg so i can report the bugs...00:24
DanaGgrr, using two different-dpi displays resets the thing back to 96 dpi!00:27
DanaGGRR.00:27

DanaGgrr, plasma died again.00:29
xray7224hehe00:29
yofelDanaG: still using compiz?00:29
DanaGYup.00:29
DanaGkwin compositing isn't working.00:29
DanaGIn fact, it isn't even TRYING to work.00:29
BUGabundoxray7224: via what method ?00:30
DanaGIt thinks it is working, though... it shows it "enabled" in kde!00:30
_Groo_DanaG: same problem here00:30
DanaGer, in systemsettings.00:30
xray7224BUGabundo, just update-manager -d00:30
BUGabundook00:30
BUGabundojust making sure :)00:30
_Groo_DanaG: mine just enables if i have compiz running, but never really works.. if you restart kde without any compositing it fails miserably00:30
DanaGgrr, kde doesn't acknowledge xrandr dpi changes.00:32

ubottuUbuntu bug 410948 in pulseaudio "Volume too loud" [Medium,Confirmed]02:54
bjsniderwasn't there a similar bug in the karmic cycle?02:55
DanaGactually, what I'm seeing that on, is my old desktop... haven't booted it in months.03:00
DanaGLinux GLaDOS 2.6.31-5-generic #24-Ubuntu SMP Sat Aug 1 12:48:18 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux03:01
DanaGI'm upgrading it to Karmic final.03:01
DanaGMy issue is different: as you slide the volume control in pulseaudio, the underlying hardware "sliders" get twiddled, seemingly randomly.03:01
DanaGI can even jiggle it around near 1% in pavucontrol, and you'll see surround and front each jump around separately.03:02
oldude67this is really getting annoying, i reboot and memory is fine now.03:02

ubottubugzilla.redhat.com bug 478604 in kernel "emu10k1: "Master" slider should be name "Front" because it only controls Front L+R." [Medium,New]03:19
DanaGthis bug report, last post, describes the same symptoms as what I have with ac97.03:19
rskhow do you disable the screensaver03:26
rskit just goes instantly black after 10minutes03:27
dtchenDanaG: I would need a codec dump and amixer output03:33
DanaGah,  I suppose I should update the kernel to at least karmic release-version first.03:34
dtchenDanaG: also, beware that it's very difficult to fix properly for "all" Creative cards driven by emu10k1, because different revisions of the Sigmatel 9750,1 act differently03:34
DanaGOh yeah, the actual card I'm speaking of that has those symptoms, is ALC650, actually.03:35
DanaGit's just that the mixers behavior is broken the same way.03:35
dtchenoh, the Realteks are far worse03:36
dtchenat least there's method to the Sigmatel madness03:36
bjsnideri don't think i've heard you say anything good about any sound chips at all03:38
DanaGAnyway, since it's a machine I very rarely use (perhaps like once or twice a year, just for the heck of it), it's not too much of an issue.03:38
DanaGHmm, I haven't really had any good sound chips.  Then again, what would you call "good"?03:38
DanaGI have my screwy-dB USB card that confuses even Windows... my notebook Audigy that's cardbus, not expresscard... and I have various onboard sound chips on various computers.03:39
bjsniderwell, maybe there aren't any good sound chips and the whole bloody business is just a giant con job03:40
DanaGI bet Aureal were the last good one... and Creative crushed them.03:42
DanaGI'm also curious about those Xonar cards.03:43
DanaGargh... stupid Apple keyboard (borrowed from my dad's closet)... keeps dying.03:44
bjsniderthat's the cmxxxx chip right?03:44
DanaGXonar PCI ones are 8788, or something.03:45
bjsnideri'd like to see dtchen write a blog about his recommended sound cards for use with ubuntu/pulse and vista/win703:46
bjsnideri have a feeling it would be a short list03:46
bjsniderand of course it would have to include the cards he'd like us to stay away from03:46
bjsniderwhich would presumably be a much longer list03:46
gnomefreakanyone else lose TTYs03:47
DanaGdamnit, the mouse died, too!03:49
DanaGAnd so did every other method of input.03:50
DanaGIncluding vnc... I could view, but no input worked!03:50
bjsniderbad case of lack of input03:50
DanaGAnd even ssh failed, too.03:51
DanaGArgh, it seems USB on the machine itself just perma-died.03:53
bjsniderrestart udev03:53
bjsnideri guess you can't03:53
DanaGhmm, it un-died now.03:54
DanaGHad to hard power off.03:54
DanaGI pressed power button... it said "will now halt"... and then just sat there.03:54
DanaGIn Xorg.,03:54
dtchenbjsnider: there are no "good" cards from my perspective; each has a list of known quirks and workarounds a mile long03:55
dtchenif you've ever done RE on a Windows driver, you'll see that, too03:55
bjsnideryou meant o tell me there aren't some you'd say "do not buy this card on penalty of death"?03:55
dtchenthat's a different question03:56
dtchenany card is acceptable if you're willing to accept the risk03:56
bjsniderthere are certainly degrees of badness03:56
dtchencertainly03:56
bjsnidersome must be less than awful03:56
dtchensure. It largely depends on the desired feature set.03:56
DanaGAnyway, that motherboard has been through a PSU death (via exploded capacitor), so the state of the board itself is certainly screwed up in some way.03:57
bjsniderwhat if i desire bass/treble hardware controls?03:57
dtchenspend a few hundred bucks and get a pro card.03:58
bjsnidersuch as what?03:58
dtchenfor the life of me, I don't know why you would want bass/treble hw controls on a card anyhow03:58
gnomefreakcan we please move the non Lucid topics to #ubuntu-offtopic03:58
DanaGOne pro card I tried: M-Audio something ice7412 or something.03:58
DanaGIt actually made PulseAudio CRASH.03:58
DanaGOr rather, failed assertions.03:58
DanaGBut, that was ages ago that I tried it.03:59
dtchenthat's alsa-lib's fault03:59
bjsniderspeaker system doesn't do any analog sound filtering03:59
dtchenI could pretty easily patch around it, but I'll incur the wrath of two upstreams03:59
DanaGdangit, now it won't boot... dies somewhere in radeon.04:01
DanaGTime to make radeon not load, the same way I made vga16fb not load: feed it garbage parameters.04:01
DanaGARgh, now the stupid friendly-recovery thing doesn't even work!04:03
DanaGAND now... unable to mount root FS!04:04

oldude67yeah it seems like sometimes when i reboot the system, its using all but like 150 meg of ram on lxde or xfce.05:30
rskmemory is meant to be used05:31
oldude67and thats before i start any programs05:31
rskas long as mem isn't filled up it's fine05:31

DanaGWhat's it filled up with?05:31
DanaGCache, or filled by one program?05:31
dtchenthat's intentional05:32
oldude67dont know everytime i try and check its like there are several programs bouncing around...05:32
dtchenlinux caches aggressively, and you should know that ureadahead also is working05:32

DanaGgrr, stupid apple mighty mouse... keeps turning itself off.05:49
oldude67yeah i just wished i had at least a gig of ram in it..would be a little better...oh well...for now it will work...just want to find out whats going on with the memory issue.05:50
oldude67someone said that nautilus had a memory leak, but i havent seen it.05:50
DanaGI've seen a leak in kded, I think.05:51
DanaGHad it cause OOM kills on a system with 4 gigs of RAM.05:51
DanaGBut it only happened once.05:51
dtchenthere is apparently a PA memleak, but no one has provided a useful valgrind (massif mode) trace05:51
oldude67well i tried booting in to gnome when it was doing that and before i could get the system to reboot i had a ton of things trying to start down on the bottom taskbar.05:52
oldude67next time it does it im going to try and see what it is thats trying to do that...05:52
oldude67actually im going to try and do an update and see if it will do it again.05:52

mrmcq2uwas using it on karmic through a third party ppa and its been enabled in fedora the last two releases at the least15:38
mrmcq2uwould be nice to be able to work with clutter with compiz enabled :)15:38
BluesKajyofel, what about the printer configuration ..I'm getting the "orphaned control module message " :(15:41
yofelBluesKaj: no idea, I use hplip15:41
BluesKajok15:41
BluesKajmaybe I should too , which file do I set that up in ?15:42
yofelBluesKaj: its a seperate app, install hplip-gui15:42
yofelJontheEchidna: do you know something about the printer module?15:42
BluesKajright on, yofel15:42
_Groo_mrmcq2u: its enabled, just use radeon.modeset=1 when loading lucid at grub line15:43
JontheEchidnayeah, it's busted until kdebindings can build, which beta1 can't.15:43
_Groo_mrmcq2u: unfortunatelly kde 4.4 is broken with radeon and some other cards right now, but compiz works15:43
JontheEchidnafairly usual for that to happen with kdebindings around beta15:43
BluesKajyofel, I thought it might be like the network/interfaces file for eth015:43
JontheEchidnaand since the printer module uses the python bindings...15:44
yofelah ok15:44
JontheEchidnayeah, not nice, but not unusual and should resolve itself in beta2 or RC1 or so15:44
_Groo_JontheEchidna: also koffice and kdenlive are broken, i reported to neverfelde yesterday about it15:44
mrmcq2u_Groo - using gnome15:44
_Groo_mrmcq2u: ah ok, then just enable the modesetting and be happy with compiz15:45
mrmcq2u_Groo - any idea whether kms is enabled? I know it supports it as plymouth worked nicely with fedora15:45
seren__JontheEchidna: any ideas why my applications have disappeared completely from kickoff, lancelot, krunner or file association. It looks like Kde have forgotten about them15:45
seren__I can launch them though15:45
JontheEchidnahmm15:46
JontheEchidnaDid everything upgrade successfully? That's the only thing I can think of15:46
yofelah that reminds me, after some update I had a  desktop that consited of my configuration and the default configuration merged together. e.g. 2 panels, 2 folderview applets...15:46
_Groo_mrmcq2u: kms is enabled but you need to pass radeon.modeset=1 to grub at boot time15:46
seren__seems so but who knows...I might have a corrupted file somewhere :)15:46
JontheEchidnayofel: yeah, kubuntu-default-settings got a plasma-desktop-appletsrc so that plasma wouldn't crash for the iso15:47
yofelJontheEchidna: ok15:47
mrmcq2u_Groo - any eta on when grub defaults to enabling them?15:47
_Groo_mrmcq2u: ask the kubuntu gods, JontheEchidna for one , or neverfeld, apachelloger... im a minion15:47
yofelJontheEchidna: will that happen on every login for now, or was that only a one-time config reload?15:48

nastasok18:22
nastasyou're right18:22
penguin42nastas: Anyway, check that you do actually have the kernel in /lib/modules/blah18:22

dtchenjoaopinto: pong18:29
dtchenjoaopinto: right, my last alsa-utils upload was precisely for that bug18:31
dtchenI just haven't gone back and triaged all the bug reports yet; there are probably a couple dozen18:31
sal_advice on "partial ugdate"?18:47
sal_first time testing a devel release18:48
sal_have a stable alpha running18:48
seren__sal : just wait for a few hours/ days18:48
yofelsal_: advice: never do partial upgrades18:48
yofelsal_: rather open a terminal and update with 'sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade'18:49
yofelor yes, wait a few days, but then something else might be broken ^^18:49
sal_i tried two days ago, and several times since.  still offering only partial18:50
yofelsal_: then use aptitude to find out why18:50
sal_yofel, this is safe/ best way - the comman lines?18:50
yofelsal_: well, the cli tools are what I'm most familiar with, there might be a gui, but don't know much there18:51
sal_this is new to me.  i would like to learn the terminal bits for this18:51
yofelhm...18:52
yofel!terminal18:52
ubottuThe linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal18:52
sal_'sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade' -- ?is best way for normal updates?18:52
yofelsal_: the guide is pretty nice for beginners18:52
yofelsal_: it's the best way for updates that won't break anything18:53
sal_i have been reading some of the guide18:53
yofelsal_: what I like is the interactive mode, just run 'sudo aptitude' and see ;)18:54
sal_great, thanks.  just what i am looking for18:54
yofelthere you'll see if packages are held back and can easy switch different solutions18:54
yofeltakes a bit getting used to though18:55
sal_wow18:55
sal_how do i read all this?18:55
sal_or use it?18:55
yofelsal_: aptitude uses vi keybindings18:56
yofeluse hjkl for scrolling18:56
yofel+ - for adding/removing packages18:56
yofel / to search for packages18:57
sal_is there a man page?18:57
yofelcertainly, man aptitude18:58
sal_got it18:58
sal_what is the difference between aptitude and apt?18:58
sal_or apt-get, for example?18:59
yofelwell, aptitude has the better interface and a (sometimes) more intelligent dependency-resolver19:00
yofelbut mostly it's the same as apt-get19:00
yofelactually...19:01
yofel!aptitude19:01
ubottuaptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide19:01
sal_thanks.19:02
sal_and the two sudo lines you gave above .. run those together always?19:02
yofelwell, not necessary, 'sudo aptitude update' (or 'u' in the interface) will refresh the package cache (same as apt-get update)19:03
yofelyou only need to do that once in a while19:03
yofelwe usually post those together here to make sure you have a up-to-date package cache19:04
yofelsudo aptitude safe-upgrade will then actually do the updating19:04
BUGabundowhy can't the darn bright settings get there act toghether !?!? grrrr19:04
yofel&& makes sure the 2. command is only run if the 1. command doesn't fail19:05
sal_so if i am wanting to do just basic updates through the lucid devel .. ? once a week, or ?19:05
BUGabundosal_: I do twice a day19:05
BUGabundo$ aptitudeupdate :D19:05
yofel:D19:05
BUGabundogot an alias and everythign19:05
BUGabundoalias aptitudeupgrade='sudo aptitude update ; sudo aptitude safe-upgrade ; sudo aptitude full-upgrade'19:06
BUGabundobut don't do, the FULL.... please DON'T (try this at home)19:06
sal_BUGabundo, not sure what all that means .. -v a bit please?19:06
seren__I didn't knew aptitude interactive mode19:06
seren__this is quite nice19:06
BUGabundoseren__: best way to upgrade19:07
BUGabundosal_: just keep running update-manager19:07
seren__since I am using apt-get usually19:07
BUGabundobut don't do partial upgrades ok ?19:07
sal_i have been, but it has only been offering the 'partial'19:07
BUGabundoseren__: I was like that up to one year ago19:07
yofelBUGabundo: the partial part was where this discussion began ;)19:07
seren__is this a bad idea to switch back and forth between aptitude and apt-get N19:07
sal_so i am looking for another way ..19:07
BUGabundothen I found aptitude manage depency much better19:07
BUGabundoso thanks to KDE mess :)19:07
BUGabundoseren__: no19:08
BUGabundosal_: try $ sudo aptitude update ; sudo aptitude safe-upgrade ; sudo aptitude full-upgrade19:08
sal_what i am really here for today .. to find an good/best/safe way to keep lucid updated.  am new to testing/ devel19:08
BUGabundojust to see if anything is stuck19:08
sal_but not the Full part, right?19:09
BUGabundoyep, don't19:09
BUGabundojust CHECK19:09
BUGabundoI only do that if im *really* sure it's a depency jump19:10
BUGabundoand not broken depencies19:10
sal_so .. $ sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade19:11
sal_twice daily with vinegar?19:11
sal_;-)19:11
sal_should keep me good ..?19:11
BUGabundono19:11
BUGabundoIt should keep in a mess19:12
sal_good/bad/ugly mess?19:12
BUGabundogood mess19:12
sal_thanks, just what i'm after .. i think19:13
sal_when would i want to do the Full part? at the alpha2?19:14
sal_or .. ?19:14
yofelsal_: sometimes package depdencies are changed during development, like recently when upstart was removed from ubuntu-desktop to make place for plymouth19:14
yofelsal_: aptitude safe-upgrade in this case will NOT remove usplash19:15
yofelargh, s/upstart/usplash19:15
sal_gotcha19:15
sal_but later it may be removed at a safer time/place?19:16
yofelsal_: full-upgrade will remove usplash, but you first have to see if what aptitude wants to do is intended by the developers or not19:16
yofelsal_: if not: you'll probably break your system19:16
sal_ok.  being new to using a devel release, i'm just trying to crawl along and KISS19:17
yofelsal_: no problem, hang out here and ask questions, you'll learn it with the time19:17
sal_will do.  thanks for the patient help19:18
yofelsal_: you might want to check this ML if you want to keep up with the changes in lucid: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Lucid-changes19:19
yofelthose are the package changelogs19:19
sal_i'll read it and see if i can decipher any of it ;-)19:20
sal_ML =?19:20
sal_!ML19:20
ubottuMail is another medium to communicate. Ubuntu mailing lists can be found at http://lists.ubuntu.com19:20
yofelyou can get a changelog for a specific package with 'aptitude changelog <package>' too19:20

BUGabundoahh21:30
sal_yofel, i managed all the upgrades from earlier .. the hang on the 'partial update' seems coming from gdm21:30
yofelsal_: do you have kubuntu-desktop installed?21:31
sal_yofel, i have 2.29.1-0ubuntu3 current, but not sure how to read all the package changes .. anything to do or not do with this?21:31
sal_no kubuntu21:31
yofelsal_: yes, ubuntu5 conflicts with usplash since plymouth will be used in the future21:32
sal_yofel, so just leave it as is for now ?21:33
yofelsal_: either that or remove usplash21:34
sal_yofel, usplash is a package(?) -- at some future point of update, this would be resolved naturally, yes?21:35
sal_remove usplash, then update gdm?21:35
yofelit should be, but I can't really give you tested advice, I have to keep gdm back since I would have to remove kubuntu-desktop too21:37

Crashbit!w IMHO22:52
sebsebseb!pm > sal_22:52
ubottusal_, please see my private message22:52
Crashbituish, sorry22:52
sal_got it.  sorry22:53
yofelsebsebseb: the new gdm breaks usplash, so you need to remove usplash to update22:54
sebsebsebsal_: your new to Ubuntu?22:54
sebsebsebyofel: oh, but usplash is going to get replaced by Plymouth isn't it?22:54
sebsebseband xsplash will get replaced by that as well?22:55
sebsebsebuh at all these names22:55
yofelsebsebseb: yes, but the situation right now ends with gdm being held back by apt22:55
sebsebsebwhat do you mean held back by apt?22:55
bjsniderthey want the boot time held to less than 10 seconds anyway22:55
sal_this was giving me the 'partial upgrade' thing in update mngr22:55
bjsniderthey want it like osx where there is hardly any boot time22:56
sebsebsebsal_: some things are best for a channel see,  also I have only ran my alpha 1 vm briefuly, so I didn't actsauly know what you were talking about22:56
BUGabundoyofel: so is it safe to force the upgrade of GDM?22:56
BUGabundoor are depencies still tripping ?22:56
yofelBUGabundo: afaik yes, DanaG might now more22:57
sal_yofel helped get me going around it, my issue is solved for now, but curious what others are doind ..22:57
yofels/now/know22:57
sal_sebsebseb, thanks for the irc user tip(s)22:57
sebsebsebyofel: sal_  thought this channel was off topic for Lucid, or something like that22:58
yofelsebsebseb: err... this is #ubuntu+122:58
sebsebsebyofel: exactly22:58
sebsebsebI told them in pm that it's on topic here22:58
yofelwell yeah, even the topic says so22:59
sal_lucid is apparently offtopic in the main support channel, my bad22:59
sebsebsebsal_: in the main support channel it is yes, but not in here22:59
sal_got it22:59
sebsebsebwell I guess it's ok to suggest people stay on 8.04 for now and wait untill 10.04, depending on how that is done etc22:59
sebsebsebin the main one23:00
BUGabundosal_: FYI this # is meant for support and discussion for +1 and +223:00
BUGabundothen again, most of us in here are just users or little time devs23:01
sebsebsebBUGabundo: +2 as well, that would be  10.1023:01
sebsebsebwhen is that released by the way?23:01
BUGabundoand many many times we can really make our voices be heard in the true decisions23:01
BUGabundosebsebseb: duh october 201023:01
sebsebsebyeah I know23:01
sebsebseb,but23:01
sebsebsebI am wondering about the day the date23:01
BUGabundoask the GOD23:01
sebsebsebUbuntu seems to like releasing on a Thursday23:02
sebsebsebfinal releases, but also  alpha's etc23:02
bjsniderBUGabundo, we can make our voices heard in which decisions?23:02
BUGabundobjsnider: "can't" :(23:02
bjsnideri see23:03
BUGabundoremember all those bugs we fough and lost ?23:03
bjsniderwhich decisions did you have in mind?23:03
DanaGwhat about me?23:03
BUGabundoUM, OSD, boots, etc23:03
BUGabundoDanaG: GDM upgrde23:03
BUGabundosafe or foo ?23:03
DanaGhmm, I don't remember what was up with that.23:03
yofelDanaG: usplash removal23:04
bjsniderBUGabundo, i'll tell you a little story23:04
sebsebsebThursday April 29th is 10.04, so does that mean that 10.10 comes out on Thursday 28th October?23:04
BUGabundosebsebseb: not sure23:04
BUGabundobjsnider: you work for the big guy, and are a agent in diskise?23:04
DanaGah yeah, plymouth looks nice... when it doesn't decide not to run.23:04
DanaGAnd yes, it does actively DECIDE not to run, on my system.23:05
DanaGhttps://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2223923:05
ubottuFreedesktop bug 22239 in plymouth general "improve console= handling" [Normal,New]23:05
bjsnidersomebody asked me to package kaffeine0.8.8 because kaffeine pre1 in karmic was useless. i went into kubuntu-devel channel and asked who made the decision to package pre1 over 0.8.8, which was more stable, and they said it was made because no users objected23:05
sebsebsebDanaG: Mandriva 2010's Plymouth is rather nice indeed, I wonder what 10.04's will be like.   my boot up was a bit uh last time I was in my vm about two days or whatever for alpha 123:05
DanaGhmm, try setting default theme to spinfinity.23:05
sebsebsebat least that xplash rubbish will be replaced :)   well xplash is ok23:06
DanaGIf we had a spinner instead of an infinity-sign, it'd be nice.23:06
sebsebsebjust  I wonder about  if it's possible to get the boot up text mode as well with xplash hmm23:06
sal_BUGabundo, am aware of that +1.  i think just some confusion .. switching channels23:06
* sebsebseb really likes having a text boot, but wants a picture of some sort there as well23:07
BUGabundobjsnider: so you mean no one complaint23:07
BUGabundoeither no one is using the proper channels23:08
BUGabundoor no one is listenign to users23:08
sebsebsebMandriva's is good,  press esc to get the text mode,  and if don't do that,  have the graphical boot23:08
bjsniderBUGabundo, right, no users complained that pre-1 was missing the dvb-s2 features, or supposedly it would have been dropped from the karmic cycle23:08
BUGabundobjsnider: up to one year ago *that* was MY task23:08
BUGabundoto be in between devs and users23:08
BUGabundoto keep up on both sides, and mediate intel23:09
bjsniderwell, i wonder why they're coming to me about this whent hey should be sending in bugs complaining23:09
BUGabundobut no more time for it unfortunatelly23:09
bjsnideri mean i don't use kaffeine!23:09
BUGabundoto keep up woth several MLs, wiki pages, blogs, IRC #s23:09
bjsniderthis is what one of the users told me in response to being asked why he didn't speak up about the kaffeine issue:23:11
BUGabundoso now I'm counting on YOU guys to take my roll in the community23:11
bjsnider"Unfortunately, I missed the testing of kaffeine; probably also because I am already trying to have other points of Ubuntu improved."23:11
BUGabundoeheh23:11
BUGabundodevel spin cycle23:11
BUGabundoone of the reasons I run +1 since so early is to have everything I use running on stable23:12
BUGabundonot that ill be running stable for long :)23:12
bjsnidermany users don't seem to understand how to get directly in touch with the ubuntu devs to stop them from going ahead with bad decisions23:12
BUGabundobut it still manages to work well up to FF/A6 and then break before beta and not get fixed :(23:12
BUGabundobjsnider: well from my POV even if they knew how, and actually did23:13
yofelbjsnider: someone even created https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeveloperCommunication for that23:13
BUGabundomany of those times they wouldn't be listened to23:13
BUGabundo:(23:13
bjsniderhave you said that in the motu channel?23:13
BUGabundoI remember when I shared my ideas on -devel/devel-discuss MLs23:13
BUGabundomost of the times I was just pushed back :(23:13
bjsniderbrushed off?23:14
BUGabundonvm23:14
BUGabundoI'm tired of it23:14
BUGabundoI became that kind of super user that goes get a workaround23:15
BUGabundoinstead of actually working to fix a prob23:15
BUGabundo:\\23:15
BUGabundoshame on me23:15
BUGabundobe it gets really tired after a point23:15
BUGabundorunning, testing, supporting, user formation, public information, for over 3 years tears a person apart23:16
bjsnideryes but that's your place in this23:18
bjsnideryou've chosent hat over developing or just sitting back and using23:18
BUGabundoits my personality fault23:19
