| hggdh | micahg: thank you for correcting the typo in the TB bug | 00:03 |
| malev | micahg, well yes, but it is not that old. And the thing is that I can't reproduce it. in fact, telnet works really fine. I think it is a mistake from the reporter. He is using an incorrect key | 00:04 |
| malev | what do you think? | 00:04 |
| micahg | malev: the last response from the OR is 10 months ago | 00:04 |
| micahg | hggdh: no problem | 00:05 |
| malev | micahg, haha oks! you're right | 00:05 |
| malev | anyone who speaks spanish here? | 00:09 |
| micahg | malev: why? | 00:09 |
| malev | micahg, I'm replying to a reporter and as I have all the windows in spanish, I cant' give him the exacly option to change. | 00:10 |
| malev | micahg, in nautilus -> edit -> preferencies, what is the name of the 5th tab? | 00:10 |
| micahg | malev: I don't use gnome | 00:10 |
| malev | I'm working on this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/497210 | 00:11 |
| hggdh | malev, wait | 00:11 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 497210 in nautilus "freezes indefinitely with busy cursor when viewing folder with many/large files" [Undecided,New] | 00:11 |
| malev | and I think the problem is because nautilus is trying to thumbnalize the gigant files and that takes forever :S | 00:12 |
| hggdh | malev you mean "Preview"? | 00:12 |
| malev | I'm gonna ask to change his settings | 00:12 |
| malev | hggdh, micahg thanks!! | 00:12 |
| * hggdh does not speak Spanish, but can read it (almost) fine -- not that different from Portuguese | 00:13 | |
| malev | this can't be a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/497221 | 00:57 |

| malev | other thing. #497234 and #497233 are the same bugs. Can anyone close one of them? | 01:06 |
| malev | micahg, I'm gonna check and reply the user. thanks | 01:06 |
| micahg | malev: you can mark one as a duplicate...we generally make the newer one a duplicate of the older one unless there is more information in the newer one | 01:07 |
| malev | thanks! | 01:08 |
| hggdh | malev: you yourself can set one as a duplicate of the other | 01:10 |
| hggdh | this is all that is needed | 01:10 |
| malev | hggdh, done thanks | 01:10 |
| hggdh | also -- you *can* set a bug to INVALID | 01:11 |
| WeatherGod | could somebody look over bug 487804 and mark it as Triaged against Grub? | 02:07 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 487804 in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics "Touchpad not working" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/487804 | 02:07 |
| WeatherGod | looks like it was another one of those upgrade issues with grub not setting menu.lst correctly | 02:07 |
| micahg | WeatherGod: is it a duplicate? | 02:08 |
| WeatherGod | from what I remember from how we were dealing with sound issues, the grub people asked us not to mark it as a duplicate of bug 470265 unless there was a demonstrated fubar of /etc/kernel-img.conf | 02:10 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 470265 in grub "jaunty to karmic upgrade failed to update menu.lst (update-grub missing from kernel-img.conf)" [High,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/470265 | 02:10 |
| maco | yep yep | 02:10 |
| WeatherGod | so, I have been setting them as a bug task for grub and triaged | 02:10 |
| micahg | WeatherGod: yes, but if there are a lot with the same cause, would it not be better to make a master out of the other causes? | 02:11 |
| micahg | or are they all separate problems? | 02:11 |
| maco | there are a few problems | 02:11 |
| maco | one is the /etc/kernel-img.conf | 02:12 |
| maco | some people are being asked "do you want to accept maintainer's version?" getting confused and hitting no. dunno why its asking though | 02:12 |
| WeatherGod | this one was odd in that 'update-grub' did not modify the user's menu.lst file | 02:12 |
| maco | some are ones where even after "sudo update-grub" (which works around the kernel-img.conf problem), its STILL not updated | 02:12 |
| maco | right, thats a different bug | 02:13 |
| WeatherGod | luckily, the user was experienced enough to modify it himself | 02:13 |
| maco | but its one ive seen at least twice | 02:13 |
| maco | in #ubuntu | 02:13 |
| WeatherGod | first for me | 02:13 |
| micahg | ok, so if we have a lot of those, they should all be duped to one bug right? | 02:13 |
| WeatherGod | heh, you would think | 02:13 |
| micahg | what about bug 470490? | 02:14 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 470490 in ubuntu-release-notes "[MASTER] Grub does not update menu.lst when it was hand-edited (so it defaults to old 2.6.28 kernel after upgrade to ubuntu 9.10 from 9.04)" [High,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/470490 | 02:14 |
| WeatherGod | this policy was set in place a month ago when the grub people were getting upset that the sound people were marking a ton of bugs as dupes of that one I mentioned | 02:14 |
| micahg | WeatherGod: right, because that's one bug, but that doesn't mean the other bugs all have to be separate | 02:15 |
| WeatherGod | hmmm, that's interesting | 02:15 |
| micahg | WeatherGod: they just didn't want you mistakenly duping that particular bug I would think | 02:15 |
| WeatherGod | and is it a coincidence that the user already knew how to edit a menu.lst file? | 02:15 |
| WeatherGod | possibly | 02:15 |
| WeatherGod | my bug probably fits in with that one | 02:16 |
| WeatherGod | I will ask the OR if he happened to have edited menu.lst before | 02:16 |
| maco | that should be unrelated | 02:17 |
| maco | wait oh i see | 02:17 |
| * maco reads back | 02:17 | |
| maco | heh | 02:17 |
| maco | so if you edited it you MIGHT get asked about maintainer version or you MIGHT get broken update-grub? lovely | 02:18 |
| WeatherGod | go figure | 02:18 |
| nigel_nb | maco: I never edited manually, but I got that prompt | 02:18 |
| maco | nigel_nb: ugh | 02:18 |
| nigel_nb | to which I instinctively (and stupidly) said no, btw | 02:18 |
| maco | eh reasonable. the default is no | 02:19 |
| nigel_nb | it popped up and I pressed enter before even I read it :( | 02:19 |
| WeatherGod | bad nigel! | 02:20 |
| WeatherGod | :P | 02:20 |
| * nigel_nb goes to a corner and cries | 02:20 | |
| WeatherGod | you have been using Windows for too long, have you? | 02:20 |
| nigel_nb | WeatherGod: from 3.1 | 02:20 |
| nigel_nb | to Vista | 02:20 |
| WeatherGod | wow... that's... impressive | 02:21 |
| WeatherGod | I gave up after XP | 02:21 |
| WeatherGod | :P | 02:21 |
| nigel_nb | WeatherGod: yea, it shows how much bs I can put up with | 02:21 |
| WeatherGod | heh | 02:22 |
| nigel_nb | have any idea on how to play a video with totem player? | 02:22 |
| nigel_nb | what am I asking.. i mean a online radio | 02:22 |
| WeatherGod | yeah.... use mplayer | 02:22 |
| nigel_nb | no no, I got a bug I'm trying to confirm | 02:23 |

| nigel_nb | probably, | 02:25 |
| nigel_nb | u commented on the one on top of it | 02:25 |
| WeatherGod | with rhythmbox | 02:25 |
| nigel_nb | the rhythmbox bug is fixed | 02:26 |
| nigel_nb | in lucid | 02:26 |
| WeatherGod | ok, but is this one the same? | 02:26 |
| WeatherGod | are they both using the same backend? | 02:27 |
| nigel_nb | no | 02:27 |
| WeatherGod | ah, ok | 02:28 |
| WeatherGod | dtchen, when you are able, could you take a look at bug 486207? | 02:30 |

| micahg | nigel_nb: bt, which pages it crashes if possible | 02:57 |
| micahg | nigel_nb: oh, users already says what pages | 02:57 |
| nigel_nb | yep | 02:57 |
| nigel_nb | so only a bt | 02:57 |
| nigel_nb | now the question is how do I get it :) | 02:57 |
| micahg | nigel_nb: video card info would be nice | 02:57 |

| nigel_nb | so I'll ask for video card info, thanks micahg :) | 02:59 |
| micahg | nigel_nb: it's most likely an x crash | 03:00 |

| micahg | nigel_nb: not until you know which one to assign to | 03:04 |
| nigel_nb | micahg: hold on, so what do I do with the package again? | 03:05 |
| * nigel_nb is really tired after only 3 hours of sleep yday | 03:05 | |
| micahg | nigel_nb: just remove it, if you click on the arrow next to the bug task, you can see the package name in a text box, you can delete that and add your comment at the same time | 03:05 |

| alvin | What do you guys do with bugs like bug 482945? The reporter states that his computer crashes because of a bad drive, if I interpret the message right. That's it. | 11:57 |

| persia | But http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36693130/USB_Flash_Memory_error.png shows the same error as 466575 | 13:49 |

| persia | But http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36693130/USB_Flash_Memory_error.png shows the same error as 466575 | 13:56 |
| persia | (SENSE_ERROR vs. busy) | 13:56 |
| qense | persia: thanks! | 13:58 |
| qense | ah, I see, that's the image of the bug that's already a dup of 466575 | 13:58 |
| persia | RIght. | 13:59 |
| persia | Persoanlly, I think 486024 is really a bug in the presentation of the error. | 13:59 |
| persia | Users not familiar with stuff like lsof may have difficulties discovering what is using the device. | 14:00 |
| qense | true | 14:00 |
| qense | 486024 looks similar the other bug that was not a duplicate of 466575 | 14:00 |
| qense | wait | 14:00 |
| qense | that was the other | 14:00 |
| qense | so i486024 is actually more a Wishlist for a GUI or something similar when devices are busy, don't you think? | 14:01 |
| persia | I believe that 486024, as filed, is an invalid bug due to user error. | 14:06 |
| persia | But I believe that this happens because the way that we tell users that they can't remove media because some program is using it isn't very helpful to people who aren't expecting it. | 14:06 |
| persia | And that there is a bug inherent in that poor quality of representation of the problem. | 14:07 |
| persia | Whether to use 486024 as a vehicle to describe the usability issue, or to mark it invalid due to user error is somewhat a personal decision. | 14:08 |
| yofel | bug 486024 | 14:08 |

| qense | That makes sense. I'll reshape the bug in something valid and look upstream, dismissing it would mean the loss of the report of something that could be done. | 14:08 |
| qense | persia: thanks for your help! | 14:09 |
| persia | yofel: Sorry. I brought a discussion from #ubuntu-devel back here without context. | 14:09 |
| yofel | persia: np, was just curious | 14:09 |
| persia | qense: Happy to help, although I still think this is the best place to contact devs about bugs, rather than -devel. | 14:09 |
| qense | ok, I'll keep that in mind next time I've got a question | 14:09 |
| persia | Of course, if not enough devs show up here, we need to encourage more to idle, but that's a separate issue :) | 14:09 |
| qense | we also need questions here to make it useful for devs to come and idle | 14:10 |
| persia | True, although there's some discussion here, which is nice. | 14:10 |
| persia | Not as much as long ago, but I think that most devs are working on improvements these days, rather than trying to stomp random bugs. | 14:11 |
| qense | true | 14:11 |
| persia | (which is different than long ago, when stuff was just way broken) | 14:11 |
| qense | We do have less urgent/problematic bugs now than before, but I wouldn't mind more (extra, not taking them away from improvements) devs working on bug fixes. | 14:12 |
| qense | If I compare Karmic to Breezy we've come a long way with stability/reliability. | 14:12 |
| persia | Yeah, that's about the same comparison I'm making in terms of -bugs traffic. | 14:14 |
| qense | well, I'd rather have no bugs to triage, so it's not bad if there are less problems to talk about. But we should make sure this channel does stay very active. | 14:15 |
| persia | Well, people just need to ask more questions as they triage | 14:15 |
| persia | (and some of us (like me) should spend more time triaging) | 14:16 |
| qense | It's better to ask and learn than to not ask and do something wrong. | 14:17 |

| persia | yofel: You mean some response to your debdiff? | 14:20 |
| yofel | persia: yep, or more like: does this qualify for an SRU or not? | 14:21 |
| yofel | the debdiff itself contains nothing more than a changelog entry and the upstream patch | 14:23 |
| persia | That's the normal sort of debdiff :) | 14:24 |
| persia | I'm not convinced the description meets the requirements for item #2 in the SRU Procedure | 14:25 |
| persia | !SRU | 14:25 |
| ubot4 | Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates | 14:25 |
| persia | I also thought the procedure was to upload and that the SRU team reviewed the uploaded bugs, rather than getting approval first. | 14:26 |
| yofel | persia: well, for lucid the package needs to be merged with debian, the newer package there contains the patch | 14:26 |
| persia | But I could be wrong about that. | 14:26 |
| persia | yofel: Ah, so the fix isn't in lucid yet? That would block a karmic SRU. | 14:27 |
| yofel | ok, so I should wait for the package to be merged and then ask again? | 14:27 |
| persia | You could, or you could help with the merge to speed that. | 14:28 |
| persia | As soon as you submit a debdiff, you start getting treated as a developer :) | 14:28 |

| qense | Could it be the server we're on, rather than the parters? | 15:09 |
| persia | Dunno. Could be even more complicated than that. I'm not on the same server that is listed in the part messages. | 15:10 |

| maheshmohan | which programming language i'm supposed to know? | 17:04 |
| etali1 | You don't have to be a programmer to take part in the 5 a day bugs thing | 17:04 |
| etali1 | It counts bugs you comment on, confirm, et, too. | 17:04 |
| maheshmohan | then, how i will fix bugs, without knowing to write a single line of code | 17:04 |
| etali1 | Triaging is different to fixing. | 17:05 |
| maheshmohan | ok | 17:05 |
| etali1 | If you can program, and that's what you want to help with, then you can do that too | 17:05 |

| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 481056 in gnome-power-manager "Dell Vostro 1000 laptop goes into hibernation whenever I plug in the power cord as if battery is dead" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/481056 | 17:33 |
| WeatherGod | hopefully before more people decide to add their own apport-collect results to it | 17:34 |
| micahg | what's the policy on duping acpi issues? | 17:35 |
| WeatherGod | I think it is device-by-device | 17:36 |
| WeatherGod | also, I am not 100% certain it is exactly the same as some other reports | 17:36 |
| WeatherGod | this one, it gets triggered by the insertion of the power plug | 17:37 |

| * micahg is not saying it's in the right package, but there are other bugs :) | 17:39 | |
| micahg | WeatherGod: yours is the oldest AFAICT | 17:39 |
| WeatherGod | yeah, it got lost in my "pile" | 17:39 |
| WeatherGod | wasn't until someone else did an apport-collect did it come back in my email list | 17:39 |
| micahg | WeatherGod: I assume you've seen this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingGNOMEPowerManager | 17:42 |
| WeatherGod | looks like most of it was collected by the apport-collect | 17:44 |
| WeatherGod | possibly not the dbus, though | 17:44 |
| WeatherGod | yeah, I think only the dbus info is missing | 17:50 |
| WeatherGod | but, if the computer goes into hibernate when the plug is attached, then that doesn't leave much time for obtaining that info, right? | 17:50 |
| * mac_v cries , didnt realize the 5-a-day was for triaging too :( ... else he would have had a streak by now | 18:05 | |
| etali | It's never too late to start with your 5 a day :) | 18:12 |
| etali | I was trying for ages, not getting it counted - then realized my email was hidden in lanchpad... (doh!) | 18:13 |

| bdmurray | pedro_: I'm gonna do some consolidation of gnome-alsamixer crashes with gam_mixer_show_props_dialog like bug 448180. Okay? | 19:16 |
| ubot4 | bdmurray: Bug 448180 on http://launchpad.net/bugs/448180 is private | 19:16 |
| pedro_ | bdmurray, sure, thanks | 19:17 |
| malev | Hi, I have a doubt about this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/490482 I can't reproduce it on my PC and I have 9.10 64bits also | 19:19 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 490482 in update-manager "update-manager -d fails to find lucid" [High,Incomplete] | 19:19 |
| malev | I was about to close it, but the Reporter suggest that it could a real bug. And it looks like I is a person who knows about ubuntu, that why I'm asking here :d | 19:20 |
| bdmurray | malev: that was reported by the Ubuntu release manager | 19:21 |
| bdmurray | so he does know a bit about Ubuntu | 19:21 |
| malev | :D | 19:22 |
| bdmurray | however, I think update-manager looks outside of itself to see if a new release available | 19:23 |
| bdmurray | I mean it wouldn't require a package update | 19:23 |
| nperry | IIRC when launched update-manager -d, if you havent refreshed the repos, lucid wont be decteced.. | 19:24 |
| malev | nperry, in my case, it founds lucid | 19:25 |
| nperry | Because you have updated, but he only reported his bugs a couple of days after the lucid repos opened | 19:25 |
| malev | nperry, so, you think is in fact a bug? | 19:26 |
| nperry | No, because between releases somone *should* update the repo | 19:26 |
| malev | that's what I thought! then, we could close it | 19:27 |
| nperry | Or on the other hand, not to sure if update-manager had to be updated to look for lucid, that might not of been uploaded by then | 19:27 |
| nperry | As nothing happened till end of UDS | 19:28 |
| malev | UDS? | 19:28 |
| nperry | Ubuntu Dev Summit | 19:28 |
| nperry | All the devs have a week long conference to set what they are going to do during the release | 19:29 |
| bdmurray | I'm saying update-manager doesn't need to updated to know if a new release is available | 19:29 |
| malev | nperry, oh, thanks.... then.. it could that lucid wasn't available for those days? or ... that's all I have | 19:30 |
| nperry | malev: Not sure if its actually right, but it sounds feesable | 19:30 |
| bdmurray | the reporter is in #ubuntu-devel if you want to talk to him | 19:30 |
| malev | bdmurray, nice idea, I'm going for it | 19:31 |
| malev | hey! it's me again, with this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/496039 again I don't think is a bug but early some one told me that there where some sort of conflicts betwwen audacius and rhymbox | 19:42 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 496039 in rhythmbox "Sound output on Rhythmbox stopped working" [Undecided,Invalid] | 19:42 |
| malev | audacity instead audacius | 19:43 |
| nperry | It could be a bad config if removed .pulse worked | 19:48 |
| nperry | could be if dist upgraded worked | 19:49 |
| nperry | sorry eating while typing, i meant recently not worked | 19:49 |
| malev | mm maybe I should leave it there. what do you think? | 19:50 |
| nperry | well whenever i dist upgrade, i delete .pulse and reboot, even before a sound issue | 19:52 |
| malev | nperry, I've never do that and I never had any problem | 19:52 |
| nperry | My sound never works when i dist upgrade, only happens on my laptop and netbook | 19:53 |
| nperry | my desktop is always good | 19:53 |
| malev | ... it happens.. but I don't consider it a bug, what do you think? | 19:54 |
| nperry | Not really | 19:55 |
| malev | I'm leaving for a while. see you later nperry! | 19:57 |
| nperry | bye :) | 19:57 |

| fagan | Im looking at the really old bugs in launchpad some of them are very old like 06 wouldnt be relivent now would they? | 20:24 |
| maco2 | they might | 20:25 |
| maco2 | depending on the software | 20:25 |
| maco2 | and keep in mind that 6.06 is still supported on the server | 20:25 |
| maco2 | there could certainly be hardware-not-supported bugs open that are still around for example | 20:25 |
| fagan | well im talking about desktop bugs | 20:25 |
| fagan | I wouldnt have a clue about server bugs | 20:25 |
| fagan | :) | 20:25 |
| fagan | I was thinking of going through the list on a mini personal bug day | 20:26 |
| fagan | maco2: good idea? | 20:27 |
| maco2 | actually, i recall dtchen digging through very old bugs last summer and finding a bunch that still existed and writing patches for them | 20:27 |
| maco2 | fagan: sure. try to confirm them in karmic or lucid | 20:27 |
| fagan | ill make sure that they are gone or ask if it still affects anyone | 20:28 |
| maco2 | you can try to reproduce it yourself | 20:30 |
| maco2 | no need to wait for the reporter to say "heck if i know. i stopped using your crummy distro because you didnt fix this bug" :P | 20:30 |
| fagan | hah | 20:39 |

| fagan | cool | 20:57 |
| fagan | so that one is still an issue | 20:57 |
| maco2 | yep. wanna email the maintainer? | 20:57 |
| fagan | maco2: sure | 20:57 |
| maco2 | or actually...hmm | 20:58 |
| maco2 | actually, i can just fix it in ubuntu then submit the patch | 20:58 |
| fagan | Sure that would be awesome then mark the bug as fixed please :) | 20:59 |
| fagan | Ive gotten through like 5 bugs ish | 20:59 |
| fagan | im going to plow on through | 20:59 |
| maco2 | when i upload it it'll be automatically marked fixed | 21:01 |
| maco2 | though since i dont tend to play with postinsts, im gonna double check with someone who knows more about it first :P | 21:01 |
| fagan | maco2: thanks | 21:02 |
| yofel | hm, is it just be or does bug 496004 sound like a bad flash image? | 21:02 |

| bdmurray | notice archive-admins are subscribed | 21:29 |
| yofel | bdmurray: can you mark it off the hugday list then? | 21:30 |
| bdmurray | yofel: done | 21:31 |
| yofel | thx :) | 21:31 |
| bdmurray | thanks for bringing it up! | 21:31 |
| yofel | also, the sync requests on the confirmed list don't belong there too I think | 21:32 |
| bdmurray | okay removed those too | 21:32 |
| fagan | I wish there was a bug status for old bugs | 21:33 |
| bdmurray | fagan: what do you mean? | 21:33 |
| fagan | Im cleaning old bug reports | 21:33 |
| fagan | and it would be nice if you could have an old status | 21:34 |
| yofel | fagan: there is 'expired' for 'incomplete without response' | 21:34 |
| fagan | but if someone marks it as wishlist | 21:34 |
| fagan | it keeps alive | 21:34 |
| fagan | or if they mark the priority | 21:34 |
| yofel | other than that, you could list open bugs and sort by 'least recently changed' | 21:34 |
| fagan | thats what im doing | 21:34 |
| fagan | I got rid of some from 06 | 21:35 |
| fagan | :D | 21:35 |
| bdmurray | And they were not valid? A bug being old doesn't mean its gone away. | 21:35 |
| fagan | I make sure that they are gone away | 21:36 |
| fagan | im just going through the old ones | 21:36 |
| maco2 | bdmurray: and he alerted me to one i could fix :) | 21:37 |
| bdmurray | well, that's exciting! | 21:38 |
| maco2 | i have a debdiff but i need someone to check im not Doing It Wrong | 21:38 |
| fagan | anyway im done because launchpad is about to go offline | 21:53 |
| fagan | got a load of bugs sorted out though o/ | 21:53 |
| WeatherGod | how long is LP going offline for? | 22:16 |
| malev | we are gonna miss it | 22:16 |
| WeatherGod | so, an hour? an evening? a day? | 22:16 |
| fagan | WeatherGod: its more than likely an hour | 22:17 |
| malev | a week? a month? a year? NOOOO :D | 22:17 |
| WeatherGod | heh | 22:17 |
| WeatherGod | ok... of course, this is right when I had half an hour to spend on triaging... | 22:18 |
| malev | ehh I have never trieged a bug! For me it's like a mistery :D | 22:19 |
| malev | I've only chat with the reporters | 22:19 |
| WeatherGod | hey, it is still something | 22:20 |
| WeatherGod | I have helped several that way | 22:20 |
| malev | yes me too, it's allmost a forum | 22:20 |
| WeatherGod | I just want to get my bug reports tied up before leaving for vacation | 22:21 |
| WeatherGod | hate to leave people hanging | 22:21 |
| malev | haha | 22:21 |
| malev | vacations?? in this part of the year? or for the holidays? | 22:21 |
| WeatherGod | yeah, for the holidays | 22:22 |
| malev | excelent | 22:22 |
| WeatherGod | where i'll be... there is no wireless internet connections from the neighbors... | 22:22 |
| WeatherGod | believe me, I tried | 22:23 |
| WeatherGod | hard to go a week without internet | 22:23 |
| malev | ... that is really hard! last year I went to Bolivia and I didn't take my laptop... sad | 22:23 |
| WeatherGod | when you don't take your laptop... I think it is easier that way | 22:24 |
| WeatherGod | at least you don't have the computer to entice you | 22:24 |
| WeatherGod | however, I still have to do programming, so my lappy is coming with me | 22:25 |
| malev | you are going to program without internet? is that posible?? :D | 22:25 |
| WeatherGod | yeah... I even learned git so I can continue doing source control | 22:26 |
| malev | WeatherGod, ahh yes! git is awesome for that! | 22:26 |
| WeatherGod | :) | 22:27 |
| WeatherGod | I still gotta decide if I want to upgrade my Jaunty install to Karmic or to jump straight to Lucid | 22:28 |
| WeatherGod | I don't upgrade during semesters, so it would keep me ahead of the game | 22:29 |
| malev | ... you didn't upgrade? why? | 22:29 |
| malev | haha | 22:29 |
| malev | I did it as soon as I finished my tesis | 22:29 |
| WeatherGod | has anyone here used Lucid yet? | 22:30 |
| BUGabundo | me | 22:30 |
| BUGabundo | a bunch of us actually | 22:30 |
| WeatherGod | how unstable is it? | 22:30 |
| BUGabundo | very | 22:30 |
| BUGabundo | broken X | 22:31 |
| WeatherGod | eww | 22:31 |
| BUGabundo | broken KDE akonadi | 22:31 |
| fagan | Broken nvidia driver too | 22:31 |
| BUGabundo | yeah | 22:31 |
| BUGabundo | well no | 22:31 |
| BUGabundo | its X | 22:31 |
| BUGabundo | not nvidia | 22:31 |
| BUGabundo | I have it working fine | 22:31 |
| malev | nooo terrible! | 22:31 |
| BUGabundo | I avoided upgrading X | 22:31 |
| WeatherGod | is it because of the modesetting? | 22:31 |
| BUGabundo | no idea | 22:31 |
| BUGabundo | ask in #ubuntu+1 | 22:31 |
| BUGabundo | this is not the proper place | 22:31 |
| fagan | I have it working fine but its because I installed nvidia manually | 22:32 |
| WeatherGod | huh, go figure | 22:32 |
| yofel | WeatherGod: nvidia doesn't have KMS | 22:32 |
| WeatherGod | right... I forgot about that | 22:32 |
| * yofel uses nvidia 195.22 beta driver from ppa | 22:32 | |
| WeatherGod | I have an intel card anyway | 22:33 |
| fagan | 190 is the stable one | 22:33 |
| yofel | on my other notebook anyway, the intel card in my eeePC here works fine | 22:33 |
| yofel | 945GME | 22:33 |
| WeatherGod | ah, good to know, I use eeePC 1000 | 22:33 |
| yofel | ah wait, suspend is broken | 22:33 |
| fagan | has anyone got the rgba working properly yet? | 22:34 |
| fagan | yofel: thats a known issue | 22:34 |
| yofel | WeatherGod: 1000H ;P | 22:34 |
| BUGabundo | yofel: hibernate is working here | 22:34 |
| BUGabundo | not that is any good reference | 22:34 |
| BUGabundo | since that chagnes in each kernel image | 22:34 |
| WeatherGod | heh | 22:35 |
| WeatherGod | maybe I will try it on my VM first | 22:35 |
| yofel | well, suspend/resume works at first, but then I get frequent screen flashes and after a while the display turns black -> reboot | 22:35 |
| fagan | BUGabundo: have you tried the rgba stuff in gtk yet? | 22:36 |
| fagan | its in ubuntu-desktop's ppa | 22:36 |
| BUGabundo | no idea what that is | 22:36 |
| BUGabundo | guys please... move topic to +1 | 22:36 |
| fagan | BUGabundo: see through windows :) | 22:36 |
| yofel | WeatherGod: if you're curious about lucid, you should at least join ubuntu+1, you'll at least know the issues we have with it ;) | 22:37 |
| WeatherGod | yofel: BUGabundo: will do | 22:38 |
| WeatherGod | anyway, I know that LP is down, but if someone could take a look at bug 486154 | 22:40 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 486154 in pulseaudio "System beep broken in Karmic despite heroic efforts to fix it" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/486154 | 22:40 |
| WeatherGod | one of the people in that thread has done a *very* extensive analysis | 22:40 |
| WeatherGod | probably ready for marking as "Triaged" | 22:40 |
| WeatherGod | although, I am still not quite sure which package it should be considered as Triaged... maybe both libcanberra and metacity just to get their attentions | 22:41 |
| yofel | oh yeah, I'm even subscribed to that report... | 22:44 |
| yofel | on my part I surely don't miss system beep... | 22:45 |
| WeatherGod | but, the guy did figure out some very odd inter-workings of these things | 22:46 |
| WeatherGod | and some people still do want system beeps... go figure | 22:46 |
| WeatherGod | ok, gotta run... I probably will be back on later | 22:51 |
