RAOFbjsnider: I don't have a grub 2 timeout at all, and this is a default install.  It's occasionally annoying.00:12
Sarvattyeah its only shown by default if you have more than one OS00:29
RAOFAnd if it's not shown, then there's no timeout.00:30
bjsniderthat's not what happened when i clean installed lucid01:37
bjsniderRAOF, the setting is in /etc/default/grub, if you want to change it01:39
RAOFbjsnider: Oh, I know.  It's not *that* annoying.01:39
bjsniderjust had a long chat with the gnome developers. there's a lot of acrimony between them and canonical. gnome-shell and unity appear almost the same in terms of look and feel, and even the underlying code. and i am not sure why two groups are working on desktop shells that are so imilar01:42
RAOFAlthough I haven't brosed it recently, I don't think the underlying code is particularly similar, outside of the architecture of “desktop-shell in mutter plugin”.01:46
bjsniderRAOF, you know what unity currently looks like, right?01:47
RAOFYes, I do indeed.01:47
bjsnideri was just looking at the screenshots in ryan paul's article on ars today, that's how i know01:47
bjsniderhere's the latest gnome-shell mockup:01:48
bjsniderhttp://blogs.gnome.org/fmuellner/files/2010/10/Pantallazo.png01:48
RAOFI'm not sure what I'm supposed to be seeing there.01:49
bjsniderthat's gnome-shell with a few open windows in a desktop in overview01:50
bjsniderlibv, i see there's been a lot of openchrome development recently01:50
bjsnider"There hasn't even been any activity on the openchrome-devel mailing list since April of this year, which according to VIA is their "best friend" and where they plan to host much of this development work."01:51

lordofthenoobsanybody out there?11:34
tjaaltonthe truth is11:34
lordofthenoobsthe truth cant hold a good conversation though on account it has no fingers to type11:36
tjaaltonhuh, no sense of humour..11:44
tseliottjaalton: I guess some people forgot about the X-Files ;)12:25
tjaaltontseliot: or were born not-too-long-ago ;)12:26
tseliottjaalton: ouch, that makes me feel old now... :P12:27
tjaaltonyeah, join the crowd..12:27
tseliot:D12:28
nigelbX-files? what? where?12:32
tseliotnice try ;)12:40
tjaaltonyeah, you have to do better than that :)12:46
libvbjsnider: http://openchrome.org/trac/timeline13:39
libvbjsnider: and the litle work that has been done in the last year was not exactly earthshattering13:39
libvbjsnider: not that i should speak, all i do, now that i do pvr stuff, is pluck unichrome based hw off of ebay. seems i am pretty much the only person still interested in buying any via crap :)13:40
bjsniderlibv, i think "via" and "crap" are synonymous13:50
ScottKThere's a recommendation in a Debian bug to use "ServerArgsLocal=vt7 -br -nolisten tcp" with KDM instead of "ServerArgsLocal=vt7 -nr -nolisten tcp".  Man X doesn't cover -nr or -br.  Where whould I find these options documented?13:52
* ScottK would like to understand it and see if it might be related to a bug with similar symptoms I'm seeing in Kubuntu.13:52
jcristauScottK: Xserver(1) iirc13:57
ScottKjcristau: Thanks.13:57
jcristau-nr doesn't exist upstream or in debian13:59
jcristauand it seems the ubuntu (well, fedora) patch adding it doesn't have a manpage bit14:02
ScottKLovely.14:03
* ScottK wonders what it does.14:03
jcristau+    ErrorF("-nr                    create root window with no background\n");14:04
ScottKThanks.14:05
SarvattScottK: thats for the seamless plymouth-X transition, a bit more description of it here: http://www.mail-archive.com/xorg-devel@lists.x.org/msg09360.html14:27
ScottKSarvatt: Thanks.14:27
Sarvattslackware 14 without that is hitting the same problem without any of the copyfb stuff - http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/call-for-testing-xorg-updates-20100830-a-829336/page8.html#post411505914:33
SarvattScottK: any reason why you dont just make TerminateServer=true the default so it doesn't rely on server regen for logout while its getting tracked down? this seems to be a recurring problem14:42
jcristau+114:42
jcristaui've suggested that to the debian kde people multiple times..14:43
Sarvatthttp://pastebin.com/Hj6SzjP414:44
ScottKSarvatt: I guess it depends on how long it's going to take.14:57
jcristauregen is always going to be fragile14:59
jcristaupretty much nobody tests it, it only affects kdm14:59
ScottKSarvatt and jcristau: The bug I was looking at was Bug 641712.  I was looking at Debian Bug #586540 and was wondering if there might be some relationship.15:00
ubot4`Launchpad bug 641712 in kdebase-workspace (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "Not possible to enter password for a new user in KDM (Maverick) (affects: 2) (heat: 112)" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/64171215:00
ubot4`Debian bug 586540 in kdm "kdm on initial start at kfreebsd bootup does not allow keyboard input" [Serious,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/58654015:00
jcristauoh, the race with getty15:01
* ScottK would love suggestions.15:03
jcristauseems weird that it doesn't happen for the first user15:06
ScottKFirst user provides the password to the installer, so it doesn't come up.15:11
Sarvattjcristau: intel does server regens now too so it's not just isolated to KDM as much anymore :(16:10
Sarvattafter a gpu hang16:10
jcristauoh.16:11
bjsniderSarvatt, any idea what's going on here: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=2335524&postcount=1417:26

vishSarvatt¦ re: Bug #652934 , i'v confirmed that the problem is only since 2.6.32-19-generic #28-Ubuntu , how do i proceed? it seems that upstream has /just recently/ merged the patch into mainline too :(18:50

Sarvattbjsnider: they are trying to run jockey-kde as root from a terminal (they need to use sudo jockey-text as their user instead if they want to do it that way), it'll show up fine in the gui once they have nvidia-common installed and reboot like they said they would21:01
Sarvattvish: reassigned it to linux, are you saying mainline daily kernels are giving the same behavior now too or you think it will because they merged it?21:03
Sarvattif its the former we need to upstream it21:03
vishSarvatt¦ my comment about it being 'merged in mainline too', was from reading Alex's comment http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2630221:05
ubot4`Freedesktop bug 26302 in Driver/Radeon "[M7 LW] desktop runs out of video memory on ATI Radeon Mobility 7500" [Major,Resolved: fixed]21:05
vishSarvatt¦ i'v now downloaded mainline .36 and am testing with that..21:05
vishhehe, kernel bug! so need to actively try to test a lot more.. ;)21:07
* vish shakes fist at everyone else filing kernel bugs and overloading lp.. MY BUG IS MORE IMPORTANT! [jus cause i filed it] ;p <pouts>21:10

Sarvattyay CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--disable-accelerated-compositing" in /etc/chromium-browser/default makes scrolling usable again with html5 video21:47
bjsnideraccelerated compositing should be a good thing21:51
Sarvattapparently only on windows21:52
Sarvatthttp://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=59302 -- funny because I can reproduce it both with intel and the blob :)21:58
