bcurtiswxbug #462994 .  I think its right to reopen the telepathy-mission-control bug, but it will have to stay with ubuntu and I think it should be fixable (and im ok if you feel differently).. and since the empathy part has desktop-bugs subscribed.. should they be assigned to the mission control bug?03:34

chrisccoulsongrrrr, somebody is supplying a version of glib2.0 somewhere in a PPA for jaunty, which is making nautilus crash10:24

chrisccoulsonhey Nafai14:22
chrisccoulsonhow are you?14:22
NafaiDoing pretty good.14:22
NafaiReally starting to click with C + Gtk.  :)  I've done C.  And I've done PyGtk.  But the intersection hasn't necessarily meant I would hit the ground running. :)14:23
NafaiHow are you?  Got all your new fun hardware yet?14:24
chrisccoulsonNafai - yeah, i'm good thanks. apparently, my new hardware has arrived at the house today14:25

chrisccoulsonNafai - what stuff are you working on at the moment? You're doing app inidicator things aren't you?14:37
NafaiYeah14:40
NafaiRight now I'm working on porting gnome-control-center (basically the typing monitor) to app-indicators14:41
chrisccoulsonNafai - cool, that sounds quite interesting14:41
NafaiYeah, it is.14:41
chrisccoulsoni looked at porting the new tracker status icon to an application indicator, but the new system is not nearly flexible enough yet14:42
chrisccoulsonthe primary function of the new status icon for tracker is to indicate indexing progress, and it does that with a tooltip, and some progressbars in the menu14:42
chrisccoulsonneither of which is supported by the app indicators yet ;)14:43
NafaiYeah14:44
rodrigo_chrisccoulson, yes14:46

popeythis is happening on a stock Ubuntu install 9.10, with a 3G dongle. No DNS entries are in /etc/resolv.conf, making net connection unusable, adding a nameserver entry manually sorts it, but it's messy.17:28
popeynote: the bug says nm ppa, but the install I have here is from a shipit cd, no PPAs17:29

seb128which one did you take?20:05
seb128ssd drive?20:05
chrisccoulsoni didn't get a ssd in the end (i've already spent quite a lot of money ;))20:06
chrisccoulsoni just tried putting lucid on it20:06
seb128hum, "tried"20:06
chrisccoulsonyeah, karmic works fine, and everything is supported20:07
chrisccoulsonbut lucid is completely unusable on it20:07
chrisccoulsonit freezes before i've even had a chance to log in20:07

seb128what dell is that?20:07
chrisccoulsonand GDM doesn't show until i switch to a different VT and then switch back to the one that GDM is on20:07
chrisccoulsonit's a E550020:07
seb128did you try without splash?20:08
chrisccoulsonseb128 - i'll try that in a second20:08
chrisccoulsonright, without splash, it seems to boot ok20:10
chrisccoulsonand it's gone for 30 seconds so far without freezing20:10
chrisccoulsoni've even got to a usable desktop now20:10
baptistemm_hey20:11
chrisccoulsonseb128 - so, booting without splash seems to fix it ;)20:11
baptistemm_chrisccoulson, I seen you're the latest who touched gnome-terminal, and I wanted to work to update to 2.29.6, how can i update the patch 99_autoconf20:11
chrisccoulsonbaptistemm_ - you can just run "autoreconf"20:12
baptistemm_okay20:12
chrisccoulsoni think that is all that is in that patch20:12
chrisccoulsoni only touched it recently to fix one of our patches20:12
pittio/20:15
seb128chrisccoulson, good20:17
seb128chrisccoulson, usually "autoconf" is enough for those20:17
seb128baptistemm_, ^20:17
seb128if there is no makefile change20:17
chrisccoulsonhey pitti20:17
baptistemm_should it be updated for each new release? or rather, how can I know when I should update such patch?20:18
baptistemm_seb128, okay20:18
seb128when it doesn't apply update it20:18
seb128which is usually on every new version20:18
chrisccoulsonbah, it froze again20:25
chrisccoulsonseb128 - it seems that my freeze is Xorg crashing20:35
chrisccoulsonand it only happens when i hit the enter key20:35
chrisccoulsonweird20:35
seb128indeed20:35
seb128is that an intel card?20:36
chrisccoulsonseb128 - yeah, it's intel20:36
chrisccoulsoni just installed sshd on it now, so I can make sure it's still alive when it happens next20:36
TheMusochrisccoulson: Where does this happen?20:41
chrisccoulsonTheMuso, on my dell latitude e5500. it appears to lock up after hitting the enter key a few times20:42
chrisccoulsonbut /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old would suggest that Xorg is crashing20:42
geserseb128: I'm having issues in using evince (lucid) in presentation mode on my dual-screen setup (http://www.bienia.de/tmp/evince-screenshot.png, the visible wallpaper is my smaller left monitor, the black part and the cutoff presentation the "main" monitor where evince is running in presentation mode). Is this a problem of evince or some library?20:47
seb128I don't know20:48
seb128I would say open a bug on evince20:48
geserok, thanks20:48
seb128the multi screen configs are not that common and not well tested I guess20:48
woozychrisccoulson: it probably also crashes if you have "blank display" set for lid-close and you actually close the lid ;)21:45
chrisccoulsonwoozy - i've not tried that yet21:45
woozyat least that's what the e6400/6500 does on intel21:45
chrisccoulsonlooks like i've got some serious debugging to do then21:45
woozyI also had problems logging in here, I think plymouth and X were fighting with each other21:46
woozyI got console messages and a cursor on top of it21:46
woozyand then it crashed21:46
chrisccoulsonyeah, i just boot without splash now21:47
