ideasman_42Hi, how would I get a spec from from a PPA if Im not on ubuntu?05:01
ideasman_42someone made a PPA of our software and Id like to check on how they did it, but without installing05:02
nit-witideasman_42, what is the ppa05:20
ideasman_42nit-wit, http://www.techdrivein.com/2011/01/blender-256-beta-releasedubuntu-ppa.html05:20
ideasman_42so ppa:cheleb/blender-svn ?05:21
nit-witideasman_42, hard to say I'm not a code writer, but it would be the source code that is available, or thats the open source rumor.05:28
ideasman_42nit-wit, I have the source, I was interested in getting the spec file they used to create the package05:29
nit-witnit-wit, yeah I have no idea are you unhappy with this.05:30
nit-witideasman_42, looks like acool program though05:31
ideasman_42yep, were planning to make a feature length movie with it! :)05:32
ideasman_42with ubuntu too you may be interested05:32
ideasman_42used ubuntu for previous 2 short movies05:32
nit-witideasman_42, wikipedia has a good description it seems of the possibilities, although limited I suspect. It does look like movie material. Do you have the movies available?05:34
ideasman_42nit-wit, our last short http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRsGyueVLvQ05:37
nit-witideasman_42, thanks I will check it out now, what had you using the GNU license05:37
ideasman_42its creative commons05:38
ideasman_42software is gpl05:38
nit-witideasman_42, I see, I like the movie link, I haven't watched much of this genre but it looks pretty good.05:42
ideasman_42BTWm making a PPA of is great, but I would like their specfile as a reference05:43
nit-witideasman_42, I suspect if you contact them they would share, thats the whole idea, the shared good for the whole and all that:)05:45
ideasman_42ok, thaught there might be some automatic way to grab ppa specs05:46
nit-witideasman_42, I don't know I wish I did.05:46
nit-witideasman_42, blender is in the regular release of my Maverick setup as well, it is in synaptic.05:48
ideasman_42yep, but this is the old stable version I expect05:49
ideasman_42we're doing a rewrite/refactor05:49
nit-witideasman_42, I say knock George Lucas and all the rest off their high places05:51
ideasman_42heh, this is europe so I think holywood is safe :)05:51
nit-witideasman_42, I will save the page, and look at the other links, I have to get back to writing a paper on female resistance in the slave trade.05:53
nit-witideasman_42, good luck on the movie and continued work.05:54
ideasman_42thx :)05:55

coz_mm why is cmake being removed ?11:42
coz_mm I understand compiz has to run from the get go with Unity enabled  but  with calssic gnome?   I think this is going to get a few users in #compiz  a bit irritated   but maybe I am wrong :)11:53

htorqueargh, this is driving me nuts: does anyone else see choppy flash videos in firefox, and in firefox only (works fine in opera and chromium)? all i did was installing adobe-flashplugin (using nvidia blob on one system, i915 on the other)14:34
susundberghum14:38
susundbergexample video -- any form youtube?14:39
susundbergfrom14:39
susundbergi got flashplugin-installer and seems to work with firefox and nvidia (nvidia is not from package manager though)14:41
gnubiehtorque:  just looked at a youtube in firefox, ran well.  firefox addon: shockwave flash 10.1 r102. Running natty 64 bit.14:41
htorquesusundberg: it's basically every flash video :-(14:42
susundberglike this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMfQHzjNvRU ?14:43
htorquegnubie: thanks for the feedback - seems i'm cursed :P14:43
susundbergsomebody did say that some xorg update did brake some intel driver thing14:43
susundbergbut your flash fails on both (nvidia & intel)..14:44
BluesKajhowdy14:44
htorquesusundberg: yt videos tend to run better. not as smooth as with chromium and opera but also not choppy. trying to find an example.14:45
BluesKajssh suddenly refused all connections on the pcs on our lan , had to purge both server and clients on all machines , but reboot and reinstall did the trick to fix it.14:46
coz_hey guys,,, noticed the desktop icons are 100 pixels...approx...from the left edge of the screen....any easy way to set this closer?  Classic gnome not  Unity.... but seems to be spaced for Unity!14:59

DJKorbitgood afternoon everyone15:47
DJKorbitjust installed virtualbox from the repos and it crashed my pc because of the vboxdrv15:49
DJKorbitanyone with the same problem? (i'm using natty)15:49
BluesKajnatty on VB , I'd expect probs15:50
DJKorbitVB on natty in this case15:50
DJKorbiti'm using natty and installed VB on top of it15:50
charlie-tcaVBox in natty needs to be VirtualBox version 4.0, which is not yet in the repositories, as far as I know15:51
=== zniavre__ is now known as zniavre
BluesKajmaybe VB isn't rerady to run on natty .. my ssh server and clients crapped out on all my natty pcs -3 , and I had to purge them and reinstall15:52
charlie-tcaI use it everyday, but I downloaded it from oracle/vbox website.15:52
DJKorbitthanks very much, i'll download the last version from the website15:53
BluesKajcharlie-tca, which OS are you running in VB ?  I was wondering if W7 will?15:53
charlie-tcaI don't have any versions of windows15:54
* BluesKaj nods15:54
DJKorbiti need vbox because i'm working on a new ubuntu based distro and i need to install natty on it15:54
charlie-tcaI test the images daily15:54
charlie-tcaDJKorbit: then maybe you need to download it from oracle?15:54
DJKorbitcharlie-tca, i'll do that in a second, thanks ;)15:55
charlie-tcahttp://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads15:55
charlie-tcaDJKorbit: they changed the user agreements, too15:56
DJKorbitcharlie-tca, typical from oracle i would say!15:57
BluesKajanother thing , pulseaudio is a mess on natty , at least on my setup ...it was ok for a while on maverick...anyway I dumped it15:57
BluesKajdunno why canonical insists on using PA...I know there was a push by a couple of devs to have it adopted as default a few ubuntu versions ago , but it really isn't very universal in it's adaptabilities ..big mistake IMO16:04
AmaranthBluesKaj: Everyone uses pulseaudio16:06
AmaranthBluesKaj: Find me a GNOME distro that doesn't16:06
AmaranthHeck, I'm pretty sure most KDE distros do too16:07
BluesKajAmaranth, , no matter , I don't need it and as far as I'm concernined it's the cause of alot of audio probs and confusionfor those who aren't aware of it's effects16:08
DJKorbiti'm getting an error while removing virtualbox-ose, anyway to fix this?16:29
DJKorbitRemoving virtualbox-ose ...16:29
DJKorbit * Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules                                            * Cannot unload module vboxdrv16:29
DJKorbit                                                                         [fail]16:29
DJKorbitinvoke-rc.d: initscript virtualbox-ose, action "stop" failed.16:29
DJKorbitit fails because of that16:30
charlie-tcaI don't remember if I ignored that or just searched and removed it manually16:31

DJKorbiti have a lot of bugs to report in natty when i have some time16:56
jmlwhy does opening a link from say xchat-gnome open firefox even though Chrome is my default browser?18:10
yofelcheck what 'gnome-open URL' does, last thing I heard it was behaving weird18:11
om26erbug 670128 ?18:14
ubottuLaunchpad bug 670128 in chromium-browser (Ubuntu) "gnome-open uses firefox while it's not the preferred browser" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/67012818:14
PKKid_Hey, whats the consensus on Ubuntu 11.04?  Is it stable enough to use for work yet?18:16
om26erPKKid_, its far from stable18:16
PKKid_om26er, Good enough of an answer for me, thanks. ;)18:16
PKKid_it is 4 months away on a 6 month release cycle, so i figured it was too soon.. but always worth asking. :)18:17

DaveD0101Can anyone tell me how to install the sun/oracle jre in natty?  It doesn't appear to be in any of the repos.  Do I have to use the manual package from their site?19:07
gnomefreakDaveD0101: what package are you looking for? we have jre packages. as for related to sun/oracle not sure. open synaptic and search for what you need19:08
gnomefreakif you can narrow it down a bit. sun java we have19:08
PiciThe partner repositories for the in-development release usually don't open until later. Unless they've opened since I last looked.19:08
yofelnope, they're still empty19:08
gnomefreaki cant seem to open a new tab/terminal atm, i lost my terminal menus19:09
DaveD0101gnomefreak, Sun's java.  Just the JRE, not JDK.  Searched for sun-java and only got results that appear to be DB connectors and such.19:09
yofelDaveD0101: you'll have to use mavericks partner repository if you want the sun jre19:09
yofelwe don't have that for natty yet19:09
DaveD0101yofel, Gotcha.  I'll try that.  Thanks!19:09
PiciI wouldn't expect that many changes between the releases myself.19:09
gnomefreakwe dont?19:09
Pici* for sun java.19:09
gnomefreakIIRC i have it19:09
gnomefreakah i have the free ones19:10
Picignomefreak: Is this an upgrade?19:10
PiciOr that.19:10
gnomefreakPici: it was back in oct.19:10
gnomefreakonce toolchain landed i upgrade as normal19:10
tetsuo__hello, is it possible to install natty packadges on maverick?19:10
gnomefreakok i cant open a second term and missing term menu :(19:11
gnomefreaktetsuo__: you dont want to do that19:11
tetsuo__i guess so, i just need the newer samba version, for the bug fix in it19:11
gnomefreak95% of the time doing that will break your system and natty packages are not likely to fix your problems19:12
gnomefreakill be back in a minute i have to fix this19:12
DaveD0101yofel, That worked perfectly.  Jre installed fine, as did the common browser plugins.19:17
DaveD0101Thanks for the help all!19:17
gnomefreaki still dont have the damn menus19:18
gnomefreakyofel: any idea on how to get into the term profile preferences without the term menus?19:19
yofelI have no idea where gnome stores those19:20
gnomefreakits weird everything else has them except g-t19:20
DaveD0101gterm?19:21
DaveD0101/home/username/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles19:22
DaveD0101looks like19:22
gnomefreakthanks19:22
gnomefreak<entry name="default_show_menubar" mtime="1294773430" type="bool" value="false"/>  yep19:25
tetsuo__ive found an alternative, nightly builds specifically for maverick :)19:25
tetsuo__gnomefreak:  thanks for the warning19:25
gnomefreaknope didnt help19:25
DaveD0101Alright, thanks again, see you all soon, I'm sure.19:26
gnomefreakok ctrl+alt+t == open new term. anyone know what is for tab?19:26
gnomefreakbe back in a min.19:27
gnomefreakok terminal issue is fixed19:50
gnomefreakanyone know how to generate a default /etc/default/grub?19:53
gnomefreakrenaming than running update-grub?19:53
yofelsince that's in /etc you would have to purge grub-pc and reinstall it, but for grub rather get the source package and copy it from there19:56
gnomefreakthanks19:57
yofelor there's some dpkg magic I don't know about19:57
gnomefreakfor some reason when i was testing options to boot into 2.6.37-12 since i cant. when i changed quiet splash to nomodeset it didnt help but when i changed it back to quiet splash now the fonts and everything else related to grub is messed up mainly font size and color20:00
gnomefreakonly 3 more things i need to work on :)20:04
gnomefreakfor some reason it looks like im running compiz on classic desktop20:07
