| Sephorah | her* | 00:00 |
| Sephorah | Hm | 00:00 |
| Sephorah | I'm gonna explain againt hen | 00:00 |
| penguin42 | Daekdroom: Let me guess, you use CD-RWs ? | 00:00 |
| Sephorah | I got a 16GB pendrive | 00:00 |
| Daekdroom | penguin42, CD-Rs and MicroSDs :P | 00:00 |
| Sephorah | I tried both dvd and cd iso on it | 00:00 |
| Sephorah | under windows, with unetbootin | 00:00 |
| Sephorah | With the DVD, my hard disk is not recognized so I can't install on it | 00:00 |
| Sephorah | With the CD I just got the initramfs console and an error | 00:00 |
| penguin42 | Sephorah: It's getting the initramfs because it can't actually find the cd image for some reason; now tell me more about the DVD case; in the DVD case do you get the choice of getting a normal (non-initramfs) shell? | 00:02 |
| Sephorah | Yes I do, not tried but I can remember that on the menu | 00:02 |
| penguin42 | ok, from there try and get a copy of the output of dmesg and cat /proc/partitions > afile | 00:03 |
| penguin42 | Sephorah: That will show just what the kernel found | 00:03 |
| Sephorah | Okay I'm gonna do that | 00:04 |
| Sephorah | Just need to copy the dvd iso again | 00:04 |
| Sephorah | hold on | 00:06 |
| Sephorah | simple thing | 00:06 |
| Sephorah | penguin42: Do you have the MD5 or SHA1 of the dvd iso? maybe theres a problem with that. | 00:06 |
| penguin42 | no I don't, but I would hope that it's on the ubuntu.com site? | 00:06 |
| Sephorah | I haven't found it. Gonna try google | 00:07 |
| Daekdroom | So, anyone having a little problem with the rhythmbox integration with the sound indicator? Mine's trackbar for the song stopped indicating where it is. | 00:07 |
| Sephorah | Found, the MD5 is ok. | 00:11 |
| Sephorah | Now mounting | 00:11 |
| Daekdroom | Sephorah, if it still doesn't work, you might want to wait for the next daily image | 00:11 |
| Sephorah | okay | 00:11 |
| Sephorah | Daekdroom: It take ages to mount a DVD iso on my usb key. 75% right now. | 00:31 |
| penguin42 | Sephorah: Yeh USB keys arenormally very slow writers | 00:33 |
| Sephorah | Done. Now rebooting. Gonna do the dmesg and cat commands you wrote | 00:39 |
| Sephorah | see you | 00:39 |
| Volkodav | Sephorah: is back > did it work ? | 00:39 |
| Sephorah | lol, gonna try now :p | 00:39 |
| Sephorah | Just finished mounting the iso | 00:39 |
| Sephorah | brb | 00:39 |
| kklimonda | hmm.. is it just me or do we still have to use terminal to configure bt headset? | 01:04 |

| forrestv | anyone know about the mouse issue with maverick? | 08:12 |
| Vig | forestv: I have not noticed one, yet. | 08:13 |
| forrestv | starting at about two days ago, relative mouse movement in sdl based games broke | 08:15 |
| Vig | forrestv: Have you checked on Launchpad? | 08:15 |
| forrestv | Vig, i tried but i don't know which package it's relevant to | 08:16 |
| forrestv | i'm not sure it's specific to SL | 08:16 |
| forrestv | SDL* | 08:16 |
| Vig | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+bugs | 08:16 |
| forrestv | in fact, it's not SDL because i downgraded it | 08:16 |
| forrestv | hmm nothing | 08:17 |
| Vig | forestv: That is the big list, I am not logged in,,yet | 08:18 |
| forrestv | yeah, there's nothing relevant on it | 08:18 |
| forrestv | anyway, anyone want to test this? steps to reproduce: `apt-get install tremulous` then try to play | 08:18 |
| forrestv | this happens to me on two separate computers | 08:19 |
| Vig | forestv: Bluetooth device? | 08:19 |
| forrestv | nope | 08:20 |
| forrestv | i'm sure it's not hardware related | 08:20 |
| forrestv | anyway, better description: about every second, the view angle in an FPS interface jumps to a specific angle | 08:21 |
| forrestv | when a mouse cursor is visible, you can move it, but every second it jumps back to a constant position | 08:22 |
| forrestv | only happens when relative mouse mode is enabled, happens in two SDL based games | 08:23 |

| forrestv | i could do that though | 08:35 |
| Vig | That kinda makes sense to me, they are same kernel and such, | 08:35 |

| christian_lappy | is it already decided wether +1 will get gnome 3.0 ? | 14:19 |
| Daekdroom | christian_lappy, maverick will definitely not get GNOME 3 | 14:20 |
| christian_lappy | oh | 14:20 |
| christian_lappy | cause of sept release i gues ? | 14:20 |
| Daekdroom | They didn't want to get over the 700MB limit because of libgtk2 and libgtk3 | 14:21 |
| Daekdroom | and such fast transition would be likely to cause issues, given past experience with KDE4 | 14:21 |

| gunni | Hi, i am trying to compile hg repo from v4l-dvb in ubuntu maverick but getting errors "implicit declaration of function: ...". I tried to deactivate modt of the modules, but i still get this. Is it a problem with the kernel (2.6.35) or with the compiler (gcc 4.4.4)? Or does anybody know how i could handle this? | 16:57 |
| dupondje | why you want it in the first place ? :) | 17:00 |

| dupondje | its fixed in the v4l-dvb master ? | 17:02 |
| gunni | No, but i know how to fix it in the source code for me. | 17:02 |
| gunni | Upstream sadly did not react to my bug report | 17:02 |
| dupondje | get the kernel source | 17:04 |
| dupondje | and fix it there ? | 17:05 |
| dupondje | why fetch the v4l git for it ? | 17:05 |
| gunni | Because i know how to do that, and dont know how to compile the module from the kernel source ;) | 17:05 |
| gunni | Or lets say i did know it till lucid, because now i run into this troubles | 17:07 |
| dupondje | what diff fixes it exactly ? | 17:07 |

| dupondje | mmm, did you report bug in kernel ? | 17:15 |
| gunni | I reported it to v4l mailing list but got no reaction. | 17:16 |
| gunni | Or can i compile the module with an older gcc, so that maybe the error gets a warning? | 17:21 |
| dupondje | nah shouldn't | 17:21 |
| dupondje | have you tried asking in #linuxtv ? | 17:21 |
| gunni | yes, few minutes ago. Waiting for an answer | 17:22 |
| dupondje | and whats the issue exactly ? will test this next week then | 17:23 |
| dupondje | have a HVR1300 also | 17:23 |
| gunni | The Problem seems to be related to the s2-api. When trying to watch dvb with kaffeine (kde4 version) or mythtv >0.23 you get no lock on channel. Darron Broad and i did some debugging and he had the knowledge to do the patch and some more enhancements. Its all written down in the launchpad bug report. | 17:26 |
| gunni | In Kaffeine you get the the first channel, but when switching channel the switching takes effect after restarting kaffeine | 17:27 |

| yofel | heh, indeed | 18:44 |
| yofel | well, you can turn it off if needed | 18:44 |
| cozziemoto | mm that didn t work | 18:44 |
| yofel | cozziemoto: you did run update-grub? | 18:44 |
| cozziemoto | yep | 18:44 |
| yofel | hm | 18:45 |
| pvandewyngaerde | ok, let me try now | 18:45 |
| * yofel ponders if he should reboot.. | 18:45 | |
| yofel | I'll first check what updates we got lately | 18:45 |
| gunni | Hmm, for me and the one reporting that bug it did work | 18:45 |
| cozziemoto | let try something be right back | 18:46 |
| yofel | if someone else wants to check, here are the latest uploads (read it bottom up) https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/maverick-changes/2010-July/date.html | 18:46 |

| dupondje | also X problem ... | 18:48 |
| dupondje | seems like something is broken :p | 18:48 |
| penguin42 | dupondje: yeh it seems to be the same grub problem I hit | 18:49 |
| cozziemoto | ok that worked but it does not go next to quiet splash but rather on the line below thaqt | 18:49 |
| cozziemoto | that | 18:49 |
| dupondje | penguin42: why is it a grub issue ? | 18:49 |
| penguin42 | dupondje: I'm not sure, there is something about removing the set gfxpayload=true | 18:49 |
| yofel | er, that should be either 'keep' or 'text' not 'true' | 18:50 |
| penguin42 | but I won't even pretend to understand how modern grub does its graphics | 18:50 |
| penguin42 | yofel: Sorry, yes it's the keep that's the default | 18:50 |
| dupondje | penguin42: when was that changed ? | 18:51 |
| penguin42 | dupondje: I don't know, it's broken for me on Maverick - I only upgraded my main machine a couple of days ago | 18:51 |
| yofel | dupondje, penguin42: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2010-July/030995.html | 18:53 |
| dupondje | can you try if removing /var/lib/ureadahead/pack and then reboot works ? | 18:54 |
| penguin42 | yofel: Ah that seems a good explanation - not happy on this box at least; there are +'s and -'s anyway if it does work; text rendering in grub in gfx mode seems VERY slow for no good reason, but at least if you can keep it in a high res mode you get enough screen so you can actually see a useful amount of boot messages | 18:56 |
| yofel | yep, text rendering is pretty slow in all framebuffers that I know though, but having if you get a nice resolution it's ok I think, unless you get so many messages that the framebuffer can't keep up.. | 18:58 |
| yofel | the last time that happend to me was when I was rebuilding gcc on gentoo ^^ | 18:58 |
| penguin42 | yofel: I'm not sure why it's that slow though; I mean it's still a 2.8GHz machine talking to the graphics card via PCI-e, I've seen faster text rendering on a 25MHz ARM | 18:58 |
| yofel | true... | 18:59 |
| cozziemoto | ok that completely screwed my other system...wont boot at all darn....time for reinstallation... | 19:13 |
| cozziemoto | would this issue be gone if I uninstalled gurb2 and went back to grub legacy? | 19:19 |
| ikonia | cozziemoto: in terms of functionality, nothing | 19:24 |

| evilshadeslayer | he asked me to fix the bug :P | 20:41 |
| pvandewyngaerde | so you are R Garg ? | 20:42 |
| pvandewyngaerde | since i am on kde i think i cannot help you then | 20:43 |
| evilshadeslayer | pvandewyngaerde: yes | 20:45 |
| yofel | evilshadeslayer: sry, was afk for a few minutes, vm booting | 20:53 |
| evilshadeslayer | yofel: whee | 20:53 |
| evilshadeslayer | yofel: after its done : sudo apt-get install kmail | 20:53 |
| yofel | can it be that we're booting *too* fast? I get failsave X on every boot, exiting to console gives me regular kdm after a few seconds. I suspect kdm tries to start before the nvidia driver had any chance to load.. | 20:58 |
| penguin42 | yofel: Missing dependency somewhere? | 20:58 |
| evilshadeslayer | yofel: heh :p | 20:59 |
| yofel | penguin42: could be, but I'm not sure where to look, X log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/465150/ | 20:59 |
| evilshadeslayer | yofel: uh.. | 21:00 |
| evilshadeslayer | yofel: does X start afterwards? | 21:00 |
| yofel | yes | 21:00 |
| evilshadeslayer | and does it show the nvidia logo ? | 21:01 |
| yofel | yes | 21:01 |
| evilshadeslayer | ( line 135 suggests you dont have the module installed ^_^ ) | 21:01 |
| penguin42 | yofel: I don't know the Nvidia stuff, but I guess you could try adding the nvidia module to the list of modules loaded at every boot | 21:01 |
| evilshadeslayer | yofel: oh .. pastebin xorg.conf | 21:01 |
| yofel | here's my *current* X log first: http://paste.ubuntu.com/465154/ | 21:02 |
| yofel | works fine | 21:02 |
| evilshadeslayer | yofel: kmail? | 21:03 |
| yofel | installing | 21:03 |
| evilshadeslayer | oh k | 21:03 |
| evilshadeslayer | yofel: theres #ubuntu-x too btw | 21:03 |
| yofel | for some reason my VMs network connection doesn't get faster than 300kB/s *-.- | 21:04 |
| evilshadeslayer | hehe :p | 21:04 |
| evilshadeslayer | yofel: 300 KBps or 300kbps ? | 21:05 |
| penguin42 | yofel: Is this bug 606244 ? | 21:05 |

| yofel | evilshadeslayer: 300 KBps, latter would be unbearable :P | 21:07 |

| Sephorah | Hello there :) | 21:44 |
| === CaptainNemo0 is now known as Cyberkilla | ||
| Sephorah | I got troubles using the latest maverick kernel (2.6.35-8) . The screen stay black, I must use the 2.6.35-6 in order to login | 21:45 |
| evilshadeslayer | yofel: can you put a comment there? | 21:46 |
| evilshadeslayer | ( just had a power outage ) | 21:46 |
| yofel | sure | 21:46 |
| Sephorah | I think it's a ATI driver problem but I can be wrong | 21:46 |
| Sephorah | Can you help me? | 21:46 |
| === evilshadeslayer is now known as shadeslayer | ||
| penguin42 | Sephorah: I have similar, there are a couple of things | 21:49 |
| Sephorah | Any fix ? | 21:49 |
| penguin42 | Sephorah: Yeh, just give me a sec | 21:49 |
| Sephorah | Okay, thanks :) | 21:50 |
| penguin42 | so first see bug 605614 - when you boot with grub remove the load_video and set gfxpayload=keep lines , that's got a fair chance of fixing it | 21:50 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 605614 in linux (Ubuntu) "[ATI] GPU lockup with gfxpayload=keep" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/605614 | 21:50 |
| penguin42 | Sephorah: There's a link in that bug describing the problem, and also I think a note about how to change the grub config | 21:51 |
| Sephorah | penguin42, how to remove that ? Do I have to edit the cfg? | 21:51 |
| Sephorah | oh ok | 21:51 |
| Sephorah | penguin42, gonna add the GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text line | 21:53 |
| penguin42 | yeh should do it | 21:53 |
| Sephorah | I can add it anywhere in the conf file? | 21:53 |
| Sephorah | now rebooting | 21:55 |
| duffydack | http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth-Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml | 21:55 |
| penguin42 | Sephorah: That bug just suggests adding a GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text to /etc/default/grub then you would have to run update-grub | 21:55 |
| penguin42 | oh | 21:55 |
| duffydack | as a side affect of installing cryptsetup also I have the splash display from just after grub to desktop :0 | 21:56 |
| Sephorah | Same problem | 21:58 |
| Sephorah | penguin42, still got a black screen | 21:58 |
| penguin42 | Sephorah: So just explain exactly what you did | 21:59 |
| Sephorah | I added the line in the beggining of the conf | 21:59 |
| penguin42 | which conf and what line exactly | 22:00 |
| * shadeslayer has full plymouth res with nvidia drivers | 22:00 | |
| shadeslayer | the softpedia stuff works | 22:00 |
| Sephorah | penguin42, /etc/grub.d/10_linux | 22:00 |
| Sephorah | penguin42, and GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text | 22:00 |
| penguin42 | Sephorah: Add it to /etc/default/grub and then run update-grub and try again | 22:01 |
| Sephorah | okay | 22:01 |
| Sephorah | penguin42, should I delete it from the 10_linux file? | 22:01 |
| penguin42 | yeh put that back to normal | 22:02 |
| Sephorah | okay done | 22:03 |
| Sephorah | reboot | 22:03 |
| Sephorah | penguin42, still a black screen.. | 22:07 |
| penguin42 | Sephorah: hmm, ok, get the grub menu up, edit the set gfx line and load_video out and also remove the quiet and splash off the kernel line | 22:11 |
| Sephorah | penguin42, what do you mean by "set gfx line" ? I remove it? | 22:13 |
| penguin42 | Sephorah: if you hit shift, and hit edit on the entry in grub delete the lines load_video and set gfxpayload=keep | 22:14 |
| penguin42 | Sephorah: Then delete the quiet and splash keywords off the kernel and hit ctrl-x to boot it | 22:14 |
| Sephorah | okay | 22:14 |
| duffydack | still playing with the ugly boot splash? | 22:24 |
| penguin42 | duffydack: In the case of some of us it's not a case of ugly, it's a case of black | 22:25 |
| duffydack | does not http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth-Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml work ? does for me | 22:26 |
| yofel | duffydack: they made gfxpayload=keep the default now, breaks boot for some people | 22:26 |
| duffydack | yofel, never needed to edit that line myself.. oh wells | 22:27 |
| yofel | well, the post uses "uvesafb mode_option=1280x1024-24 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap" | 22:28 |
| yofel | usually you would set GRUB_GFXMODE to the resolution and use gfxpayload=keep | 22:28 |
| yofel | there are like a few hundred ways to get proper splash resolution, we need to find the one that works for all | 22:29 |
| duffydack | yofel, I thought that did. Not heard anyone say otherwise. | 22:30 |
| yofel | duffydack: well, I use gfxpayload=keep with nvidia fine here, but nouveau seems to be very unhappy with it for some reason | 22:30 |
| penguin42 | duffydack: Well, that's arbitrarily setting the resolution to something that might just happen to be right for someones monitor, while tweaking the mtrr in a fairly arbitrary way | 22:31 |
| duffydack | I dont use grub gfx mode, only when I used burg but I thought looking at something for 2s wasnt enough to warrant using it. | 22:31 |
| duffydack | penguin42, thats not my resolution I use. I use one thats supported by my screen. | 22:32 |
| duffydack | vbeinfo at grub cmd line gives you your available vesa resolutions. I use one of those. | 22:32 |
| yofel | duffydack: doesn't matter, did you try what happens if you use your settings and then use nouveau or vesa? do they still work? | 22:33 |
| * duffydack < ati | 22:33 | |
| yofel | well, any driver for that matter | 22:33 |
| duffydack | yofel, I dont get your question. | 22:34 |
| yofel | duffydack: the developers decided to use gfx mode in grub by default now instead of text which was used until now, some drivers don't seem to like that | 22:34 |
| yofel | that's what we're discussing | 22:34 |
| Daekdroom | My grub is still not graphical, I think.. | 22:35 |
| Daekdroom | I haven't rebooted in 2 days. | 22:35 |
| dupondje | grub is still not graphical now | 22:35 |
| yofel | grub now uses graphical mode but still in 640x480, so if it works you won't see a difference | 22:35 |
| duffydack | I use ATI proprietary which gives me ugly boot, then I just followed that guide using my own res and job done.. I dont know about anyone elses but I have not read any problems either | 22:35 |
| yofel | duffydack: we're just trying to fix the ugly part... | 22:36 |
| yofel | but it's not just a matter of "enable graphical mode and set some resolution for everyone" | 22:36 |
| duffydack | yofel, I thought using vesa would work for everyone | 22:37 |
| yofel | duffydack: we would like to use the usual driver and thus set grub back to text mode.. | 22:38 |
| duffydack | true its not your max res, like for example my lcd is 1920x1080 and my max vesa is 1400x1050 | 22:38 |
| duffydack | but its good enough | 22:38 |
| dupondje | yofel: its the kernel that starts in graphic mode? not grub ? :) | 22:38 |
| duffydack | I used burg once, it was ok, a novelty really, but it worked ok | 22:39 |
| yofel | dupondje: er right, sry, not taking enough time to think before writing.. | 22:39 |
| dupondje | seems like most drivers are affected btw | 22:40 |
| dupondje | but its not 100% broken | 22:40 |
| dupondje | sometimes it works | 22:40 |
| dupondje | sometimes it doesn't | 22:40 |
| * penguin42 wonders whether the lack of Sephorah is a sign it worked for him or that it's broken completely | 22:52 | |
| Daekdroom | her. | 22:53 |
| Daekdroom | Sephorah is a her. | 22:53 |
| penguin42 | oh, erm right, I couldn't tell | 22:53 |
| Daekdroom | I called her him at first too :| | 22:53 |
| Daekdroom | So, after reading this whole link: http://design.canonical.com/2010/04/notification-area/ | 22:55 |
| Daekdroom | I'm wondering what's really wrong about using notification area to hide apps that we don't want to clutter the taskbar | 22:56 |
| penguin42 | Daekdroom: Yeh, I think the primary reason is that you can end up with zillions of things in there in no particular order | 22:57 |
| penguin42 | but I am a bit worried about the replacement as well | 22:57 |
| Daekdroom | So am I, because they did like.. give rhythmbox one >.> | 22:58 |
| penguin42 | Daekdroom: I think the intention is that you have a few things that hold the information on a bunch of related things; e.g. everything for sound, everything for messaging, everything for networking - and that doesn't sound that bad an idea | 22:59 |
| kklimonda | Daekdroom: because notification area, just as the name indicates, is for notifications and not to hide shortcomings of the current task switcher implementation | 22:59 |
| penguin42 | kklimonda: By the task switcher limitations you mean the way some things use notification area to raise/open the main window? | 22:59 |
| kklimonda | Daekdroom: rhythmbox will most likely go into sound indicator and the notification area icon will be removed. | 23:00 |
| Daekdroom | kklimonda, I know, I realized that when they made the new sound-indicator | 23:00 |
| kklimonda | penguin42: I mean the fact that windows that are minimalized take just as much space and look almost the same as unminimalized ones. | 23:00 |
| Daekdroom | kklimonda, but why not do it from the beginning? :| | 23:01 |
| kklimonda | Daekdroom: because we don't have unlimited resources. | 23:01 |
| Daekdroom | well.. that's true.. | 23:01 |
| penguin42 | kklimonda: Ah OK; but of course the notification area gets used for a load of other stuff as well | 23:01 |
| kklimonda | penguin42: like what? | 23:01 |
| kklimonda | Daekdroom: it would be great to have enough developers and testers to create new, awesome features behind closed door and then present them when they are ready and polished.. on the other hand that would also bring criticism.. | 23:02 |
| penguin42 | kklimonda: Well the network manager status isn't an indication of the limit of the task manager as I see it, neither are the little summary things for music players | 23:03 |
| penguin42 | kklimonda: I'm not sure something like the alert about updates is either | 23:04 |
| penguin42 | kklimonda: However, I agree somethings are | 23:04 |
| Daekdroom | So, just for the sake of helping it, I'm going to try to ditch the systray and leave it to the indicator applet :P | 23:04 |
| kklimonda | penguin42: well, that's true - bt, network and sound aren't really notifications but those are more of a system services. I was rather thinking about applications that have a genuine need for the notification area that doesn't come from the fact that taskbar switcher is limited. | 23:04 |
| Daekdroom | Now, I need to find a indicator-patible replace of liferea.. | 23:04 |
| kklimonda | update manager applet is disabled by default and window is open when new updates are available | 23:05 |
| penguin42 | kklimonda: I actually think the problem is the separation between launchers, task manager and notification area - I think the Mac makes them all one (as did the OLD Acorn machines in the UK) | 23:05 |
| Daekdroom | kklimonda, isn't update manager one of the things that actually need to indicate something? | 23:05 |
| penguin42 | Daekdroom: In a way you could say it's the update manager is just iconised but sometimes it needs to tell you to open it | 23:07 |
| Daekdroom | penguin42, NotifyOSD would do it better then, I guess.. | 23:08 |
| penguin42 | Daekdroom: No, because it doesn't stay around | 23:08 |
| Daekdroom | ooo. | 23:08 |
| * Daekdroom found a "evolution-rss" package | 23:08 | |
| kklimonda | penguin42: well, Mac doesn't make them all one (I don't really know what that mean anyway so I may be wrong) but dock, even with its shortcomings, is a better solution than putting everything into notification area. | 23:08 |
| kklimonda | Daekdroom: well, update manager opens a window and blinks in your taskbar | 23:08 |
| Daekdroom | kklimonda, I think I disabled that | 23:09 |
| kklimonda | great, X is using 100% cpu | 23:10 |
| penguin42 | kklimonda: I mean that at the moment I've got a launcher on my panel for firefox, when I click on it it starts firefox, which then appears in the window list; that launcher is completely passive; some programs I might launch might also add a notification area icon, so that's 3 things that I might get on the panel for one app | 23:10 |
| penguin42 | kklimonda: Are you getting any messages in your .xsession-errors ? | 23:10 |
| kklimonda | nope | 23:11 |
| Daekdroom | penguin42, have you ever looked at the Windows 7 approach? | 23:11 |
| penguin42 | Daekdroom: No | 23:11 |
| Daekdroom | It looks like you want it to behave *exactly* like Win7 | 23:11 |
| penguin42 | Daekdroom: Well I'd say exactly like an old Archimedes or maybe a bit like a mac or a bit of both :-) | 23:11 |
| kklimonda | indeed, the new win7 taskbar is awesome | 23:11 |
| Daekdroom | Take MSN as an example, the launcher, the tray and the program itself can be a single icon. | 23:11 |
| kklimonda | they have managed to take the best of OS X Dock and the old task bar | 23:12 |
| penguin42 | Daekdroom: OK, yeh that's what I want - so that if I have OpenOffice for example I can start it and then get a list of all the open windows | 23:12 |
| kklimonda | hmm.. somehow update-manager makes Xorg use all cpu.. interesting | 23:12 |
| penguin42 | kklimonda: I've got something odd going on with X eating cpu related to focus; I'm getting zillions of focus/timestamp related errors in .xsession-errors with metacity and a flickering cursor; If I run xfce it gets better but xorg still seems to be eating cpu some of the time | 23:13 |
| kklimonda | mine is bug 595845 | 23:14 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 595845 in update-manager (Ubuntu) "During "Building data structures" when starting the update-manager Xorg takes up 100% cpu" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/595845 | 23:14 |

| penguin42 | kklimonda: Incidentally, do you think that name should be changed from 'building data structures' - that may as well say regurgitating flimflam as far as the new user goes | 23:15 |
