om26erprolly many people are in the rally. evolution 2.30.3-1ubuntu7.2 update in maverick seems to be causing tons and tons of sudden crashers for people.09:17
om26erbug 701777 701051 700991 700554 700153 699702 are the examples09:20
ubot2Launchpad bug 701777 in evolution (Ubuntu) "Evolution crash (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Medium,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/70177709:20
kklimondaom26er: does any one of those have a retraced stacktrace?09:23
om26erthey have to enable apport i guess but people usually dont reply after they are asked to enable apport :p09:24

ebroderugh. does the gnome-desktop package seriously not have a better upstream mailing list than desktop-devel-list@gnome? super lame09:27
vuntzebroder: why?09:29
ebrodervuntz: oh, hi :)09:30
ebrodervuntz: i'm looking at basically a simulator for the g-s-d xrandr plugin09:30
ebroderso i can see what it would do given certain monitor configurations09:30
ebroderbut with the new gobject-based randr stuff in gnome-desktop, i can't build my own GnomeRRConfig and GnomeRROutputInfo objects that aren't based on the actual screen configuration09:30
vuntzebroder: I suggest to ask federico about this09:31
kklimondaebroder: those bug reports don't seem connected to each other09:32
kklimondaom26er: ^09:32
kklimondasorry, wrong nick - you are both blue :)09:32
kklimondathere is one about evo crashing at sending email, another when editing message, yet another is about it crashing when importing contacts09:33
ebrodervuntz: ok, i'll see if i can track him down09:33
om26erkklimonda, all are random crashes with -7.209:33
ebrodervuntz: though probably not until tomorrow :)09:33
om26erthe crash ratio have been relatively low before the update09:33
om26ers/ratio/rate ;)09:34

kklimondamaybe they are all hitting this path, but that's unlikely - and without stacktrace it's hard to tell :)09:35
ebrodervuntz: what's going to be the best place to track down federico? just #gnome on irc.g.o?09:36
vuntzebroder: federico1 on freenode, or federico in #gnome-hackers on gimpnet09:37
vuntzebroder: but mail is probably the safest way09:37
ebroderok, cool09:37
om26erkklimonda, commented on every report, someone would atleast give crash logs09:38
kklimondaom26er: if they do, ping me and I'll take a look - also, ping others ;)09:39

hockebockehi folks!20:43
hockebockeJUst installed a fresh Maverick on a new computer, and since the first startup the theme is completely wrong (old gnome default theme instead of Ambeance)20:44
hockebockeIt turned out to be gnome-settings-daemon hanging. A kill with -KILL (nothing else will do) and then restarting, it all changes into the right theme and is all right.20:45

SpamapSAnybody know why my natty machine would be ignoring the Appearance theme I selected and just using the default f'ugly gtk theme?20:59
dobeygnome-settings-daemon crashed21:00
SpamapSI've rebooted several times..21:00
SpamapSthis happened after I applied the latest updates21:00
dobeyor it's hanging perhaps21:00
dobeykill it21:00
dobeyand it should restart21:00
SpamapSah so that made something happen briefly21:01
SpamapSfonts started anti-aliasing21:01
SpamapSthen it went back to f'ugly21:01
SpamapScrap21:02
SpamapSI have a half-installed gnome 321:02
dobeythat would do it probably21:05
SpamapSaha21:05
SpamapSyes downgraded and all is better21:05
SpamapSdobey: thanks for the tip. :)21:07
SpamapSnow if I can just get google chrome to identify itself as a browser the same wahy FF and Chromium do....21:07
dobeySpamapS: it probably needs the x-scheme-handler/ mime types added to the .desktop file21:09
SpamapSdobey: ahh indeed it does21:10
pittidobey: http://www.fullduplex.org/humor/2006/10/how-to-shoot-yourself-in-the-foot-in-any-programming-language/21:16
SpamapSdobey: so I added the scheme handler stuff to the desktop file in the chrome package.. but it doesn't appear yet as a choice in preferred apps.. have tried logging out / back in... anything else I can do?21:24
dobeySpamapS: you added x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https; to it?21:29
SpamapSdobey: yes21:33
SpamapSdobey: but I have worse problems now.. gnome-settings-daemon is at 100% CPU .. :-/21:34
SpamapSwrite(2, "\n(gnome-settings-daemon:20266): "..., 114) = 11421:34
ebroderSpamapS: what's in ~/.xsession-errors?21:34
SpamapS** (gnome-panel:22690): WARNING **: Operation was cancelled21:35
SpamapShmm there are two gnome-settings-daemon running21:36
SpamapSok, SIGKILL'd it21:36
SpamapSnew one seems healthy21:36

jhansonxiI'm trying to get wicd to coexist with Network Manager.  I want wicd-curses for recovery mode only.  I modified the NM upstart job to not start in runlevel S but wicd starts in runlevel 2, even with the init script removed.  Why?23:04
TheMusopitti: Preliminary testing shows much better performance compared to the last time I checked, however a lot of the desktop is inaccessible, due to something somewhere still wanting bonobo-activation-server et al to be running.23:06
TheMusopitti: Re at-spi2.23:07
TheMusoHopefully that won't be too hard to track down.23:07
TheMusopitti: Could be that I built an at-spi2 package incorrectly.23:09

dobeyhow do i tell debuild to unpack and configure, but not build a package? just exit after doing the ./configure?23:18
ebroderdobey: there's no way to do that that'll work with all packages - the only things a rules file has to support is "build" (i.e. everything you don't have to do as root) and "binary" (i.e. everything you do have to do as root)23:21
dobeyebroder: ok. well i only care about one package right now, network-manager-applet23:22
ebroderdobey: i don't know how that package is put together, but you might be able to do something like "debian/rules configure" or "debian/rules configure-stamp" or maybe even "debian/rules debian/configure-stamp"23:23
dobeyit uses cdbs gnome.mk23:24
dobeyi was hoping for something i could pass to debuild though, so that i can do it by running bzr bd -- $something23:25
