jpdsThat's probably it.00:00
jpdsI'd file a bug against squid-deb-proxy.00:00
CarlFKk - thanks.00:00
CarlFKjpds: squid-deb-proxy or squid-deb-proxy-client?  (I get the error on the client side)00:12
CarlFKmaybe it doesn't matter.  I was going to use apport-cli, but I guess it want's stack dump files00:13
CarlFKjpds: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/squid-deb-proxy/+bug/686265  anything I should add before I re-image the box?00:24
ubottuUbuntu bug 686265 in squid-deb-proxy (Ubuntu) "client doing wicked ipv6 stuff and failing" [Undecided,New]00:24
doogluswhether I pick 'classic' or 'desktop', I still get the classic gnome-panel type interface00:47
dooglusany idea what the problem is there?  other users on the same computer can run Unity, but not mine00:48
charlie-tcadooglus: remove any old .compiz entries and restart00:56

Roeyhi01:59
RoeyI have Capslock mapped to an additional control, keyboard layout switcher mapped to two shift keys pressed together, and repeat delay to 200ms.  I upgraded to the latest PPAs and now these settings no longer seem to be respected, even though they show up as I configured them in System Setting01:59
RoeyPPAs of KDE btw.01:59
dooglushow can I change the default web browser to be chrome instead of Fx?02:08
dooglusI've tried, but the dialog seems to be ignored02:08
IdleOnedooglus: known bug02:13
IdleOneI don't know the bug number off hand02:14
=== yofel_ is now known as yofel
=== AndrewMC is now known as SpockVulcan
dooglusIdleOne: I 'fixed' it by making a script in ~/Bin/firefox which runs chrome...03:17
CarlFKlol03:18
=== SpockVulcan is now known as AndrewMC
doogluscharlie-tca: thanks04:12
doogluscharlie-tca: I have ~/.compiz/session/ with a pair of files in it - that's all04:14
doogluscharlie-tca: it made no different.  I don't think compiz is being run at all04:18
dooglusI removed ~/.compiz completely, but it still runs a regular gnome-session04:26

nperrymorning all o/09:29
reventon_so do you guys do anything to hunt for bugs? on these new releases?10:46
rorkThis is my first time I use an alpha, I intend to just use it a bit, configure it and see what happens/crashes. I succesfully reproduced a bug that also existed in older versions.10:51
Jordan_Ureventon_: There is always System > Administration > System Testing.10:52
CarlFKI install to a 2nd box, install apps I use and see if they do what I expect10:52
CarlFKit helps to automate the install10:53
reventon_Jordan_U: thanks10:56
Jordan_Ureventon_: You're welcome.10:56
reventon_yeah i've just been using it like a normal machine, but i haven't really noticed anything out of the ordinary10:56
reventon_at least things that hadn't been reported already10:57
rorkI just filed a bug in KDE I've found to KDE's bugzilla, should I also add it to Launchpad?11:00
=== IAmNotThatGuy is now known as Mohan_chml
reventon_rork: wait for the KDE people to answer you first12:04
rorkok, thx12:12
reventon_interesting, the newest kernel update enabled more resolutions on my vbox installation12:32
kklimondahola13:19
nperryYo o/13:20
jo-erlendSeing as Natty uses Unity by default; would it be an idea to make the session choices more visible than they are in current releases, so that the "Classic Ubuntu Desktop" choice is easily noticable?13:36
reventon_i think it would be harder to make it more noticeable without having to redesign the login13:52
q999?how do you autohide panel in natty?13:57
zniavrevia ccsm no?13:59
kklimondaI don't think you can hide panel - only launcher14:02
zniavremisunderstanding im sorry14:02
q999this version must autohide or they just went back 15 years.14:03
kklimondain Unity top panel displays application menu, I don't think it makes sense to hide it14:04
kklimondabut you can ask on #ayatana if there are plans to make it auto hide14:04
q999i like real estate.14:04
GullstadIt should least be a possibility.14:05
GullstadFreedom of choise.14:06
q999this seems like an netbook release.14:06
kklimondaGullstad: you are free to choose different ui, or even different distribution14:07
q999going back to 10.1014:07
Gullstadkklimonda: So this is going to be the standard ubuntu anserw to suggeste features? "You don't have to use ubuntu".14:09
kklimondaGullstad: no size fits all14:11
q999but autohide of panel an issue?14:11
q999shouldnt be ..should just work.14:12
kklimondaq999: not an issue but it may not be something that is going to be implemented in 11.04, or even not something that Unity designers have envisioned.14:12
GullstadSure, but ubuntu now is trying to standarize the desktop to their likings for everybody else. Don't missunderstand. I love the looks of new unity, but still want the possibility to move my dock and hide my panels for screen relesate on my eee14:13
kklimondaGullstad: there are no panels - there is a signel panel and launcher, launcher can be set to auto hide. dunno if panel is going to be set. But my point is that the argument "freedom of choice" is a lousy one at best. There has to be someone who has a vision and who sets goals - only because the goal is not the one you like doesn't mean it has to be changed.14:14
q999seems like they knew from what i read,takes up three inchs on big screen.14:15
kklimondaq999: you are talking about launcher, not about the panel14:15
q999right that too14:15
Gullstadkklimonda: I'm not talking about chaning the default, just options so everybody could customise it in their way to hit a broader autiance.14:16
kklimondaGullstad: all options come with a hidden costs14:16
kklimondaGullstad: more code to support them - more developers to write it, more testers to test it, more bugs for users14:17
GullstadI'm exited to see how it pans out, but this release is going to make or break it for Ubuntu. Exiting one.14:19
kklimondameh, not this one14:19
kklimondathe one that will make or break it is the next LTS14:19
q999another thing that i dislike,(since I'm A Righty) is the relocation of the max /min /close windows frome the right to the left...apple style,,and ,I hate Apple......14:20
GullstadThe whole UI is beeing revamped. I don't think the users are going to stick around unitll next LTS if it's disliked.14:20
kklimondaq999: it fits unity really well14:20
q999trying to follow apple bites.14:21
kklimondaq999: it's not following apple, button on the left fits unity when windows are maximized14:21
GullstadApple is nice-looking. Trying to match it's design is a pretty good idea.14:21
q999no..14:22
kklimondaGullstad: we are still at the point where most Ubuntu users are adventurous14:22
q999its a lefties ,,,,closed garden.14:22
kklimondaGullstad: most of them are just going to switch to the Classic GNOME if they dislike new Unity (which is not going to be completely ready by 11.04 release)14:23
q999ubuntu is better than that.14:23
Gullstadkklimonda: You think people are going to switch to classig gnome and just wait for it to dissapair in the next release?14:23
kklimondaGullstad: yes14:23
q999yes so far natty  has issues.14:23
kklimondaGullstad: or to GNOME Shell, or to KDE14:23
kklimondaGullstad: we still haven't reached the point where most people don't know what system they have installed14:24
kklimondaGullstad: up until then we can test new stuff and make it better.14:24
kklimondaGullstad: a lot of people are still using LTS, I'd actually be happy if they stayed at the last LTS and then made an upgrade to the next one.14:25
q999have 2 boxes running 10.04 love it.14:26
reventon_test14:27
q999thanks anyway ......I'm gone.14:29
Gullstadkklimonda: Maybe there should be a ad for it. "New ubuntu! Don't upgrade."14:29
kklimondaGullstad: that wouldn't make sense, most of people want to run the newest and shiniest14:33
kklimondaand we need testers ;)14:33
h3sp4wnIs anyone using the natty kernel under xen domU14:34
h3sp4wn(I am still using the amazon one from 10.04 past experience with xen ubuntu has sucked)14:35
kklimondano, but I use a 10.04 kernel under xen domU and it works fine14:36
h3sp4wnkklimonda: Which one (I use vmlinuz-2.6.32-310-ec2)14:41
kklimonda2.6.32-25-generic-pae14:41
h3sp4wnDoes the config look more sensible ? (I have compared the one I am using to quite a few from citrix's XCP (Xen cloud platform) and it seems like its not optimal - perhaps with ec2 based on xen 3.0.3 that effects it but I use a 4.0.1 dom014:43
reventon_are there settings that can be adjusted with regards to scrolling? as of the latest batch of updates (today) i can no longer scroll side to side on my trackpad15:31
reventon_i'm on a macbook pro running 11.04 in vbox. i was able to scroll sideways as of yesterday15:31
Volkodav xfce is all crooked16:43
Volkodavalmost unusable with or without compiz16:43
charlie-tcaVolkodav: xubuntu or Ubuntu with Xfce added?16:49
VolkodavUbuntu with Xfce added16:49
Volkodavicons are invisible on the panel with compiz - with compiz off stays the same16:50
Volkodavcan not change fonts or appearance etc16:50
Volkodavstuck on 1 theme with default fonts etc16:51
Volkodavthe list is long16:51
VolkodavI understand they rewrote panel and other stuff16:56
charlie-tcaSorry. Xubuntu broke it16:57
charlie-tcaWe are merging the xfce4.8 changes, and the panel plugins have to be re-written to work now16:57
charlie-tcaNot sure if it will work later even with compiz now16:57
VolkodavI noticed the list shrinked16:57
Volkodavwell hanging in gnome for now16:58
charlie-tcayes, it is actively being worked16:58
Volkodavthat's good news16:58
Volkodavxfce has been my DE choice for years16:58
Volkodavused to it16:58
charlie-tcaI haven't tried the image today, but I am running xubuntu Natty which I upgraded from maverick.17:00
charlie-tcaOnly a few of the plugins are working17:00
Volkodavi just logged out with all those comments17:00
smoseranyone else having issues with mumble ?17:14
smoseri cannot hear others. I can talk, and others can hear me, but I cannot hear you.  I don't see their "lips move" either, and many other sound apps (rhythmbox, mplayer, mpg321) play sound fine17:15
smoserseems that either a.) defening, then undeafening myself or b.) just opening up the audio wizard, and switching something and then switching it back.17:16
smoserfixed it.17:17
yaaarhowdy17:57
yaaarlittle confused here...do i need a 100-min CD to try this alpha out?17:57
yaaartrying to burn natty-desktop-amd64.iso and it says it's too big even with overburn on. the file is 723MB17:59
yaaarlooks like the i386 one is 717...wonder if that'll squeeze in with overburn18:00
h3sp4wnWhat are you using to burn it ?18:00
yaaari right-clicked the file and hit 'write to disc' on my 10.04 desktop...not sure what program that runs...didn't see anything obvious from ps waux18:01
h3sp4wnTry cdrecord command line (you probably have to compile it but its not difficult) http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/cdrecord.html18:01
h3sp4wn(wodim or whatever the fork of cdrecord is called is crap)18:02
yaaardoesn't this gnome thing just frontend that?18:02
h3sp4wnThey forked it without thinking about whether they could maintain it properly18:02
h3sp4wn(it might use something else)18:02
yaaarah. i see...apt-get tries to install wodim if you ask it for cdrecord18:02
charlie-tcaBeing they are oversize at this time, you can burn them to dvd or use a usb drive.18:03
IdleOnegnomebaker works fine18:03
yaaark18:04
IdleOnebrasero should do the job as well, but yeah the iso's are a little big see charlie-tca ^^18:04
yaaartrying with brasero18:05
yaaari've got some dvds here, so if it comes to that no big deal18:05
yaaarok wtf. i told brasero to burn that iso file and it wrote a disc....way too fast...and then on further inspection it had burned a completely different iso file (FreeBSD-8.1-RELEASE-AMD64-bootonly.iso ...in the same directoy) from the one i had selected. figured i was just stupid and chose the wrong one, so i went into gnomebaker and chose the natty iso (made POSITIVE this time I had the...18:17
yaaar...right file) and it did it again!18:17
yaaarwhy on earth would it do that?18:17
h3sp4wnmaybe god's telling you something18:19
yaaarthat i should run freebsd?18:19
coz_yaaar,  I have had very little success with brasero18:20
coz_yaaar,  I suggest gnomebaker...its far more reliable18:20
yaaarthis last attempt was with gnomebaker18:20
h3sp4wnyaaar:  (Failing a good reason why not I would) unfortunately I have a good reason why not18:20
coz_yaaar, ooo18:20
coz_yaaar, are you burning the daily build?18:20
Volkodav just do DVD18:21
yaaarcoz_: i downloaded it last night from the link in the topic18:21
yaaari think that's just alpha 1 not the daily18:21
h3sp4wnyaaar: Use netboot/mini.iso18:21
h3sp4wnhttp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso18:21
yaaarh3sp4wn: yeah that's probably a good idea. but i sure would like to know why these burning programs decided to burn a completely different iso from the one i told them to burn...18:22
coz_yaaar, I would also suggest burning at 1x18:25
yaaari guess i don't see what the burn speed has to do with it choosing the wrong file to burn18:29
coz_yaaar, choosing the wrong file to burn is on your end...burning at 1x will give the best results18:30
h3sp4wnI usually burn at 4x (some drives don't support 1x anymore)18:30
yaaarcoz_: oh i see, you just figure i don't know what i'm talking about. fair enough, but i've tested it more than once. if you like i can shoot video and put it on my webserver so you can watch me choose the right file and watch it burn the wrong one18:31
coz_yaaar,  no no offense meant at all18:32
coz_yaaar,  I am actuallly trying to work on 5 channels...download iso's  and burn then all at once...so i was just trying to pitch in here ..sorry if you were offended18:32
yaaarcoz_: no worries...i actually thought about shooting the video before saying anything, because honestly it does sound kinda ridiculous18:43
charlie-tcayaaar: what about copying or moving that iso to an empty directory to see what happens?19:12
CarlFKyaaar: md5sum the 2 .iso s - maybe you made a copy or something19:17
frewsxcvwhy is gnome-mplayer in muliverse?19:32
Picifrewsxcv: It doesn't look like its actually part of GNOME at all, just named like it.  http://sites.google.com/site/kdekorte2/gnomemplayer19:33
h3sp4wnanything using mplayer potentially has patent issues19:34
frewsxcvh3sp4wn: mplayer was moved to universe recently19:35
frewsxcvPici: i'm aware, but that shouldn't be a reason for it to be in multiverse19:36
h3sp4wnfrewsxcv: where is mencoder ?19:36
Picifrewsxcv: gnome-mplayer has been in multiverse since hardy...19:37
h3sp4wnI prefer mplayer/mencoder/ffmpeg compiled with icc so cannot use packages19:37
frewsxcvh3sp4wn: universe19:37
frewsxcvPici: what's your point?19:38
h3sp4wnInteresting guess they no longer care about patents (probably a good thing at least for me)19:38
Picifrewsxcv: I assumed since you're asking in #ubuntu+1 that this was a new change in Natty.19:38
frewsxcvin maverick, mencoder was moved universe from multiverse19:38
frewsxcvi'm on the fluxbuntu team19:39
frewsxcvand we're trying to include mplayer-gnome in natty, but it appears to still be in multiverse19:40
h3sp4wnA fluxbox user would not bother about an mplayer gui surely19:41
frewsxcvif you have a comment about our software choices, that is a different discussion19:41
h3sp4wnSo you choose not to distribute from anything other than main and universe ?19:43
h3sp4wnOr is that a policy of some sort19:43
yofelfrewsxcv: you might want to ask in #ubuntu-motu about this, they might know more19:45
frewsxcvyofel: thanks19:46
DrHalanhey20:06
DrHalanhows natty evolving?20:06
yaaarcharlie-tca: that's exactly what i eventually did; i moved the natty iso to a different directory that didn't have anything else in it. after that gnomebaker burned it without complaint. weird.20:07
yaaarCarlFK: i didn't md5 them, but one is 45MB and the other 723, so pretty sure they aren't the same20:08
charlie-tcayaaar: glad to hear it worked. Sometimes strange things happen20:10
CarlFKyaaar: good point.20:23
yofelmicahg: any reason why the mozilla daily ppa builds 3.6 dailies of firefox for natty instead of 4? That's somewhat... useless20:34
RoeyHey all, I have Capslock mapped to an additional control, keyboard layout switcher mapped to two shift keys pressed together, and repeat delay to 200ms.  I upgraded to the latest PPAs and now these settings no longer seem to be respected, even though they show up as I configured them in System Setting21:14
Roeywhat vies?21:14
Roeythis is Kubuntu 10.10 bvtw21:14
Roeybtw21:14
Volkodav ppa's are blocked every update IIRC21:15
Volkodavupgrade rather*21:16
yofelRoey: this is 11.04 support, 10.10 support is in #kubuntu21:16
Roeyright, but they asked me to come here.21:17
Volkodavyofer what's up21:17
Volkodavyofel: *21:17
RoeyVolkodav:  what do you mean they're blocked every upate?21:17
h3sp4wnRoey: How are you mapping it ? xmodmap ?21:17
Volkodavthat was happening in 10.10 alphas and betas21:18
yofelRoey: blocked on 10.10 -> 11.04 upgrade, which was what he assumed you had done21:18
Roeyh3sp4wn:  through KDE keyboard settings21:18
h3sp4wnRoey: You might find it easier just swapping them21:18
Roeyh3sp4wn:  through xmodmap?21:18
Roeymaybe21:18
Roeythanks21:18
yofelVolkodav: being busy a bit with packaging currently, but other than that fine, kubuntu 11.04 works better than expected21:18
Volkodavsame as ubuntu - but I could not get the hang of Unity21:19
* Volkodav back to gnome waiting for xfce to be fixed21:20
Roeysee that's the thing that made me write off gnome... the developers keep promising that something will be fixed or othewise re-architected  by the next mythical release21:20
VolkodavI can't find ppa for qmmp for natty21:22
Volkodavthe only player capable of wavpack and FLac in one file that will see the tags right21:23
c0nsumer_hello! why the version 11.04 will use unity interface? its better for gnome?23:32
c0nsumer_and unity is developed by canonical?23:32
yofelfirst: not sure, and unity is developed by canonical23:33
* yofel uses kde and doesn't care23:33
skrewlerwho cares, you can change it to whatever you want23:33
c0nsumer_but why the canonical prefet change default interface to unty?23:34
charlie-tcabeing used for better user experience when using both netbook and larger screen systems. Keeps them the same23:34
* Volkodav uses xfce and does not care23:34
alex_mayorgawhat's the right way to update?23:34
alex_mayorgaso far I do sudo aptitude safe-upgrade23:34
alex_mayorgais that fine?23:34
c0nsumer_i'm installing the Natty on VirtualBox to test this.23:35
charlie-tcathat is fine for safely upgrading. I use dist-upgrade so I don't have things sitting that should have upgraded23:35
charlie-tcac0nsumer_: you do know unity won't work in VBox, right?23:35
yofelalex_mayorga: yes, but that doesn't remove conflicting packages, use full-upgrade too frome time to time23:35
yofel(or apt-get dist-upgrade)23:36
c0nsumer_no! O_o23:36
breadcrumbwhy doesnt it work in vbox23:36
c0nsumer_really?23:36
alex_mayorgayofel: thanks23:36
yofelbreadcrumb: needs 3D support23:36
skrewlern23:36
yofelwhich most VMs don't have23:36
breadcrumbumm.. vbox has 3d support, at least opengl?23:37
breadcrumbyou can enable compiz effects in an ubuntu virtualbox machine23:37
yofelbreadcrumb: not the -ose version afaik23:37
breadcrumboh23:37
yofelI could be wrong though23:37
yofelI'm at least certain that KVM has no opengl support23:37
yofelwhich is what I usually use23:38
c0nsumer_so, abort my installation on Vbox23:41
c0nsumer_?23:41
c0nsumer_??23:43
charlie-tcaI am pretty sure VBox won't work with unity. It will only work with the "classic desktop" session, which is gnome23:45
charlie-tcaAt least, it would not work in any virtual machines during alpha1 testing23:45
Sir_Konradcharlie-tca, why do you think that is?23:47
charlie-tcaeither no 3d or no OpenGL support23:47
* yofel wonders what kind of user experience it is supposed to be that nvidia users first have to run classic -> install nvidia driver -> switch to unity23:47
yofelthat'll at least make auto-login impossible23:47
charlie-tcaIt's a fun experience23:47
charlie-tcayes, auto-login makes it much more fun!23:48
yofelheh23:49
