[05:11] <duryodhan> hi I don't really want the daily builds, but I do want to use firefox 4.0; is there a way I can get the scheduled 'beta' releases that mozilla puts out ?
[06:03] <micahg> duryodhan: the PPA should be listed in the /topic
[07:34] <duryodhan> micahg: I have the ppa but my apt-get upgrade keeps getting the latest nightly
[07:34] <duryodhan> micahg: I only want relatively stable betas and not nightlies
[07:35] <micahg> duryodhan: no, there's a beta PPA
[07:36] <duryodhan> micahg: damn ... thanks a lot.. I feel dumb :D
[07:37] <duryodhan> micahg: I was looking at https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa
[07:37] <micahg> duryodhan: right, in the /topic for this channel is a link to the beta PPA
[07:38] <duryodhan> micahg: yeah found it .. I kinda assumed it was the same PPA that I had found using Google .. sorry for the trouble
[07:38] <micahg> duryodhan: np
[07:38] <duryodhan> micahg: if you have a few minutes to tell me how to downgrade from the nightly packet to the beta , that would be great too
[07:39] <micahg> which release are you on?
[07:40] <duryodhan> lucid
[07:40] <duryodhan> I am thinking of the following steps
[07:40] <duryodhan> remove mozilla-daily ppa, add firefox-next ppa (the beta only one)
[07:40] <duryodhan> use apt-cache showpkg firefox-4.0
[07:40] <micahg> duryodhan: there's a program in lucid-backports called ppa-purge which can help
[07:41] <duryodhan> ohh
[07:41] <micahg> use ppa-purge on the daily PPA, remove the daily PPA, add the beta PPA, and install firefox-4.0
[07:41] <micahg> I think that should work
[07:42] <duryodhan> micahg: I looked up ppa-purge .. if I understand it right, if I remove the mozilla-daily repo and add firefox-next ppa, and run ppa-puge on mozilla-daily ppa then it should go to firefox-next version
[07:42] <duryodhan> I am concerned since I don't want to remove firefox-4.0 , which might happen since its not in official repos
[07:43] <micahg> duryodhan: run ppa-purge before removing the daily PPA, you'll remove firefox-4.0 and then reinstall it from the beta PPA
[07:43] <duryodhan> micahg: hmm .. wouldn't removing the firefox-4.0 package make things go bad ?
[07:44] <micahg> duryodhan: why?  just make sure it's not running when you do it
[07:44] <duryodhan> ohh
[07:44] <duryodhan> ok thanks let me try
[08:06] <duryodhan> damn
[08:06] <duryodhan> crap The following packages have unmet dependencies:   firefox-4.0: Depends: firefox-4.0-core (= 4.0~b7+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~mfn~lucid3) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages
[08:06] <duryodhan> for the repository mentioned in the /topic
[08:07] <micahg> duryodhan: that should be in the PPA
[08:07] <duryodhan> hmm
[08:08] <duryodhan> seems ppa-purge didn't remove firefox-4.0-core for me
[08:08] <duryodhan> anyways removing it by hand seems to work
[08:08] <duryodhan> thanks a lot for your help
[08:08] <micahg> duryodhan: you can add firefox-4.0-core=4.0~b7+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~mfn~lucid3 to the apt-get line
[08:09] <duryodhan> I think the right thing to do would have been to add the firefox-next ppa and then run ppa purge
[08:09] <micahg> duryodhan: no, you wanted to purge the other PPA
[08:09] <duryodhan> micahg: I removed firefox-4.0 and then ran apt-get install firefox-4.0 which worked
[08:09] <duryodhan> yeah
[08:09] <duryodhan> but I think what happened is
[08:09] <duryodhan> that since there was no firefox-4.0 in the default repo
[08:09] <duryodhan> it didn't downgrade/remove firefox-4.0
[08:10] <duryodhan> it downgraded firefox-3.*
[08:10] <micahg> should've been sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa
[08:12] <duryodhan> hmm I did ppa-purge ubuntu-mozilla-daily
[08:13] <micahg> that might work, idk, is it fixed now?
[08:13] <duryodhan> looking at how ppa-purge seems to work, I am pretty sure it would have downgraded to the beta version if I had that ppa in
[08:13] <duryodhan> yeah its working now :)
[08:13] <duryodhan> thanks a lot !
[08:13] <micahg> duryodhan: great, np
[12:56] <Milos_SD> HI
[12:58] <Milos_SD> Why are addons on addon-bar aligned to the left, and not to the right as they were?
[12:59] <Milos_SD> it is on Firefox 4

[22:36] <micahg> chrisccoulson: well, they're 2 different xul branches
[22:36]  * micahg was hoping for TB 3.3 in Natty, but no guarantee
[22:37] <fta> wow, the Galician translators went from 0% to 96% in 2 days (+3000 strings)
[22:42] <chrisccoulson> hmmm, got disconnected there
[22:47] <micahg> chrisccoulson: could you please push up the changelog for xulrunner-1.9.2.head?
[22:47] <chrisccoulson> micahg - yeah, can do. sorry, i thought i did that already :/
[22:48] <micahg> chrisccoulson: the release tag doesn't seem to be there
[22:50] <chrisccoulson> micahg - ok, done now
[22:51] <micahg> chrisccoulson: thanks
[22:52] <micahg> I'll have to upload the fix for Seamonkey and xulrunner later tonight
