ArtArfonScottK: Perhaps you should say this to the people destroying gnu/mc.00:00
ScottKArtArfon: I've no idea what you're talking about, but I'm reasonably confident it's not closely related to Ubuntu development (which is the topic of this channel).00:00
ArtArfonScottK: If you dont know anything, then why adress me at all ?00:02

keespitti: I'm curious what you think of apport upstream commit 1792 -- I was trying to find a way to handle key clobbering without doing a "raise"03:43
Hobbseehmmm. how would i track down why my mouse is bouncing across the screen, rather than moving fluidly after rebotin gteh second time to maverick?04:07
Hobbseegoogle is not being helpful04:09
cody-somervilleHobbsee, wireless mouse?04:11
Hobbseecody-somerville: yes, and the keyborad seems tob e gting some elters in th ewrong sequence, or dropping them04:11
Hobbseei keep getin gwrong password, and the irc is speaking or itself04:11
cody-somervilleHobbsee, anything useful in dmesg?04:12
Hobbseecody-somerville: nothing obvious to me, but i'm not fluid in it.  i'l pastebin04:12
Hobbseecody-somerville: http://www.pastebin.ca/195794504:14
Hobbseei upgraded last night, rebooted, and all was fine, keyboard wroked, etc, installed the enwer virtualbox and wine from their ppas, booted this morning, and sudenly there's major mice and keyboard problems04:15
HobbseeBus 006 Device 002: ID 046d:c517 Logitech, Inc. LX710 Cordless Desktop Laser  <-- and i'm fairly sur ethat's notmy mouse, eiter04:17
cody-somervilleHobbsee, is it logitech at least? lol04:20
Hobbseecody-somerville: yeah, mx3004:20
Hobbsee* mk30004:20
cody-somervilleHobbsee, This might be a stupid question but have you tried unplugging and then plugging it back in?04:21
Hobbseecody-somerville: have now, no dice04:22
cody-somervilleHobbsee, does it still register it as LX710 Cordless Desktop Laser?04:23
Hobbseecody-somerville: yes04:23
cody-somervilleHobbsee, lines 749 - 770 look relevant04:25
Hobbseegood ponit04:27
Hobbseecody-somerville: the windows solution worked.  go figure04:30
cody-somervilleThe windows solution? whats that?04:30
ebroderKeep rebooting until the problem goes away?04:31
Hobbseethat's the one04:31
Hobbsee"if in doubt, reboot"04:31
Hobbseedoesn't seem to be a common problem - i couldn't find any other references to it with maverick04:32
cody-somervilleah, yea I figured that would probably fix it04:32
Hobbseeand it still detects wrong, incidently04:33
ebroderThat seems like it's likely to be the device mis-identifying to make it easier for Logitech to put the drivers together, but what do I know04:34
Hobbseeprobably04:34
cody-somervilleHobbsee, It looks like it was probably caused by your nvidia driver hanging on an interrupt04:35
Hobbseecody-somerville: i see.  which i assume means i should'nt file a bug04:35
Hobbsee(and my typing fails now are actualyl me, not the keyboard.  i think)04:36
cody-somervilleHobbsee, If it happens often you could rewrite your DSDT so that at least the graphics driver didn't screw up USB. Just download and decompile the DSDT, locate the USB devices, and change the permitted interrupt lines, recompile and put in your initramfs.04:39
Hobbseecody-somerville: noted04:39
nigelbHobbsee: I've seen the keyboard thing with lucid, but I thought that was my hardware being finiky05:02
nigelbsome of the keys would not work on a boot making logging in a pain because the password just wouldn't work05:02
Hobbseenigelb: ouch, tha tsucks05:03
nigelbHobbsee: yeah.  I just wait it out and it starts working :)05:03
nigelb(or the windows solution: thou shall reboot until it works)05:04
Hobbseehehe05:04
nigelbhrm, if this is something kernel I should log a bug, but the problem goes away by the time I log in :/05:04
cody-somervillenigelb, It happens every time you boot?05:06
nigelbcody-somerville: nope, once in a while05:06
nigelbcody-somerville: ah, mine's nvidia too.  sigh.05:10
nigelbI'm hitting the same problem as Hobbsee perhaps.05:10
Hobbseenigelb: that was happening all the way into x05:11
Hobbseenigelb: so i'm guessing not05:11
nigelbHobbsee: 'all the way in x' means?05:11
Hobbseenigelb: as in, happens in gdm, happens after everything is loaded.  happened until i shut the machine down again05:12
nigelbHobbsee: similar here.05:12
nigelbmy password doesn't have all characters05:12
nigelbsomtimes I can get it, but some keys are still not working.05:12
cody-somervilleI wouldn't be so quick to assume the problem is the same.05:14
cody-somervillelots of things could cause the symptoms you're describing.05:14
nigelbhrm, what logs would be the best to get too the bottom of this?05:15
nigelbif I can get in and get logs maybe I can try something.05:15
cody-somervillenigelb, I recommend that if you decide to do that then you use ubuntu-bug - it'll collect the logs for you automatically.05:17
nigelbokay, ubuntu-bug linux next time.  I just hope those keys woork05:18
nigelb:D05:18
wgrantmaco: Is gally meant to have an explicit 0: epoch? That's a little strange.06:29
macowgrant: i got so used to seeing kde packages that start with 4: that i forgot they were optional06:30
wgrantHaha.06:30
wgrantSee, KDE does bad things to your mind.06:31
pittikees: looks fine; if you could add an appropriate stanza to NEWS, too?08:34

penguin42bug 657489 may be a nasty one to look out for23:45
ubottuLaunchpad bug 657489 in grub2 (Ubuntu) "grub package update may crash when used with PnP wireless modems" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/65748923:45
penguin42really none obvious to find and breaks a grub update23:46
DocMAXhi, whats "stripe" in compiling terms?23:46
penguin42more context?23:48
DocMAXi think i read something about a stripe flag23:49
DocMAXit should make the binary much smaller23:49
penguin42ah!23:49
penguin42strip23:49
DocMAXah strip! =)23:50
DocMAXwhere do i set this flag, and was does strip actually do?23:50
penguin42DocMAX: It removes symbols from object files - makes it really really hard to debug and if you select some options cause linking problems; but mostly just about debugging23:51
DocMAXwhere do i set this flag?23:51
DocMAXmake CFLAGS="-strip" ?23:51
penguin42I'd normally just use the strip command on the binary; I think Debian package builds tend to do it automatically in the packages23:52
DocMAXwant to compile samba23:52
DocMAXso i do a "strip smbd" ?23:52
DocMAXon the binary?23:53
penguin42yeh - why are you doing that?23:53
DocMAXsmbd is about 10 MB!23:53
wgrantWhy are you building it yourself?23:54
DocMAXi found other pre-compiled binarys with only 2 MB, i dont know how they do it23:54
