ArneGoetjekenvandine: FYI, language-selector always sets .utf8 as encoding for any locale as it should be. Even if the locale information leaves away the .utf8, because there is only one locale for that language-country combination, it doesn't mean that that it wouldn't be possible to add another encoding in future. And if that happens, the encoding must be specified. Therefor to be sure, always set the encoding.02:02
ArneGoetjejbache: The problem you describe is, because gnome store its font settings in it's own registry, while KDE uses fontconfig. Ideally, Gnome should just switch to use fontconfig to store the rendering settings. Then the discrepancy would be gone. What Riddell mentions with qtcurve is probably the same thing. The application stores it's rendering settings somewhere else instead of just using fontconfig like KDE does.02:14
kenvandinehey ArneGoetje03:11
kenvandinethx03:11
kenvandineso yeah, my install has en_US.UTF-8 in /etc/default/locale03:12
kenvandinebut vish's has en_IN03:12
kenvandinewhich breaks locale.setlocale in python03:12
kenvandineat least in gwibber03:12
kenvandinethere is a place where gwibber sets the locale to C before parsing a time string then tries to restore the old locale03:13
ArneGoetjekenvandine: correct. A lot of software expects the encoding to be specified. Therefor the installer really should append .utf8 to any locale which doesn't have it.03:13
kenvandineok, so that is a bug in the installer03:13
kenvandinehowever, gwibber didn't really need to do that03:13
ArneGoetjekenvandine: seems so, since gdm and language-selector behave correctly.03:14
kenvandinesetting the locale to C then setting it to '' does the right thing03:14
kenvandinelocale.setlocale(locale.LC_TIME, '')03:14
kenvandinesets it back to whatever is in the env03:14
kenvandineat least afaict03:14
ArneGoetjethat's strange... maybe also a bug in gwibber then?03:14
kenvandineyeah03:15
kenvandinegwibber just was doing something it didn't need to do03:15
kenvandineso i removed that, and all is good again03:15
ArneGoetjeokay03:15
kenvandinebut it worries me that it is effecting lots of users03:15
kenvandinesince apparently this was happening in lucid too03:15
kenvandineso i guess i need to SRU that03:15
ArneGoetjeyep03:16
kenvandinewhat i was really trying to figure out was if the installer really needs to be fixed too03:16
kenvandineArneGoetje, could you please comment on bug 653259 ?03:16

devildantehmm...15:59
kklimondait is default16:46
kklimondait got FFe16:46
kklimondaor rather - it's installed by the default and the idea has been to enable it for interface but I'm not sure if it's done yet.16:47
kklimondait should be16:47

senseAre the Jockey maintainers aware that when you disable the proprietary Nvidia drivers, Jockey wrongly sets the driver to 'nv' in /etc/X11/xorg.conf? The driver 'nv' isn't available anymore and Jockey should change the driver to 'nouveau' or remove the xorg.conf file altogether.20:47
Riddellsense: best to report a bug21:49
senseRiddell: Just did that after I didn't find a bug reporting the issue.21:50
Riddellgroovy21:50
senseI was just curious if it was already known here.21:50
sensebut it wasn't!21:50
