[01:36] i found some bugs in ubuntu 10.04 lts do i report them here? [01:36] LaurenK: launchpad is better place [01:37] LaurenK: no, report them using the "Report a Problem" option in the appropriate application's Help menu [01:38] there just small bug problems that take away from the polish of the system and make it look unprofessional, like x butons and cancel buttons that arre dummy buttons and don't actualy do anything [01:38] when installing propretary drivers the cancel buttons don't do anything [01:38] or warn you that can't be canceld [01:39] i don't know if situtations like that are important [01:39] they are, look up the "papercuts" project [01:43] let me as one oquestion, this may be the wrong spot but on the regular ubuntu channel they were extreamly confused with it, do I need to install a different kernel besides the i386 default one to take advantage of the core duo processor [01:43] core duo or core 2 duo? [01:44] just core duo [01:44] then no, only the i386 kernel will work for you [01:44] (which is the "generic" kernel in Ubuntu) [01:45] if you have >~3GB of RAM, you will want the "generic-pae" kernel [01:45] no [01:45] the default one has SMP enabled [01:45] oops sorry Keybuk. i have high latency [01:46] exelent thank you [02:00] has anyone investigated packaging libevent 2.0.10? [02:05] ah, it's already in experimental [03:05] hello people :D [03:06] I have a little question [03:06] I would like to create a background for ubuntu narwhal do you know the deadline ? [03:07] jorjoso: http://design.canonical.com/2011/01/bright-light-and-beautiful/ [03:09] thankss :D === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth [05:13] dashua, would you mind pushing this patch (http://bit.ly/fVqvBl ) upstream? Apparently that's the fastest way I'll get it in Debian [05:33] AbsintheSyringe: it was sent upstream afaict, gnome bug 608511 [05:33] Gnome bug 608511 in general "Theme, button background, left_middle drawn for left_right" [Normal,Unconfirmed] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=608511 [05:33] kklimonda, ok awesome, tnx [05:36] hello, anybody is available to give me a hand? [05:38] kva: shoot, the worst that could happen is that no one is going to answer you. [05:38] well, guess I am in the right channel, I am not here for support [05:39] I got an emachines e527 and debian is running right on it [05:40] but ubuntu doesn't. even boot screen is fade and almost dark [05:41] one of live cd's permits to boot but it says that hardware isn't supported by unity and after install it still blinks [05:41] so, any ideas? [05:42] kva: Try using a Ubuntu 10.04 LTS CD rather than a very recent one? [05:42] tried it [05:43] right now I am on debian squeeze [05:43] If this is just for one (older) PC... and you have Debian installed and running... why not just keep using Debian? :) [05:43] well, problem like this were reported, but not for this model of note [05:44] it's not that old, that's already 64bit :-) [05:44] kva: Hm. By ‘blinks’, do you mean something like bug #681054 ? [05:44] Launchpad bug 681054 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) "screen repeatedly goes black for a fraction of a second" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/681054 [05:45] yup, near that [05:45] Since it perhaps/probably relates to the video chipset... what does lspci -v | grep -i vga output (in Debian is fine)? [05:46] kva: Interesting information would be - does your machine have the same GPU, and does it also mis-detect a connected VGA output? [05:46] no, not for a fraction for a second, it's lightens for a fraction for a second, after it it's black [05:47] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) [05:48] That particular chip is well supported, but it's always possible for manufacturers to screw things up. [05:48] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) [05:48] Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Device 0459 [05:49] Kernel driver in use: i915 [05:49] that's from lspci -v [05:49] Perhaps you'd like to continue in #ubuntu-x? [05:49] no idea [05:49] problem is before X11 starting [05:50] if you want I can continue there :-) [05:50] Yes please :) === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth === pitti is now known as pitti_ [05:58] Good morning [06:39] tkamppeter_: can you please have a look what happened here? [06:39] ghostscript (Δ 3.7 MB - 8.71.dfsg.2-0ubuntu7: 2.8 MB 9.01~dfsg~svn12047-0ubuntu1: 6.5 MB) [06:40] tkamppeter_: i. e. ghostscript ballooned from 2.8 to 6.5 MB [06:52] doko__: good morning! [06:53] doko__: given that we haven't shipped oo.o-filter-binfilter in the past (for legacy document formats like staroffice 5.2), do you think we can drop the -writer recommends: libreoffice-filter-binfilter to suggests? that'd save 8 MB again [07:07] Hello === tkamppeter_ is now known as tkamppeter [07:20] pitti, about ghostscript, the maintainer at Debian has changed and he has introduced a new packaging scheme. Seems that I have to compare file by file now where the wrong thing leaked in ... [07:20] tkamppeter: my hunch is that /usr/share/ghostscript/9.01/Resource/CMap/ got a lot bigger [07:21] tkamppeter: and we additionally got a new 2.1 MB libgs9 package; apparenlty that was integrated into ghostscript earlier on? [07:22] ah, sorry, that was libgs8, nevermind [07:22] pitti_, with which version of GS are you comparing? Does your old version have files in CMap at all? [07:23] ./usr/share/ghostscript/8.71/Resource/CMap -> /var/lib/defoma/gs.d/dirs/CMap [07:23] tkamppeter: no, it only had above symlink [07:23] not that this would exist.. [07:23] but as we didn't need them in the past, perhaps we can split them out into a new ghostscript-cmaps package? [07:24] pitti_, now we have a real CMap directory, as once defoma got deprecated and second, the license of the CMap files which come from Adobe has changed, allowing to ship them. [07:24] See debian/changelog [07:27] tkamppeter: given that we have never really supported anything but UTF-8, what do you think about a splitout to a seprate package? [07:28] we can then install this package only for CJK locales (if it's any help there) [07:28] pitti, the re-introduction of CMap fixes several bugs, and therefore it should be part of the core distro (Desktop CD): bug #321932, ghostscript bug 691212, ghostscript bug 691345.

[07:35] according to http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=691345 CMap files are needed also for non-CJK. [07:35] pitti_, ^^ === almaisan-away is now known as al-maisan [07:38] pitti_, it would be a maintenance nightmare to sort the CMap files by languages and make them installed only if the appropriate locale is installed. Also it can happen that a PDF contains some characters of a foreign language and these should also get rendered correctly. even if the user does not understand this language. [07:38] tkamppeter: ok; I just wondered why it by and large worked fine so far [07:38] tkamppeter: thanks for the heads-up! [07:41] pitti_, note also that the re-introduction of CMap already happened in Maverick, still with the old packaging scheme of Ghostscript. [07:42] tkamppeter: so in maverick it was broken because of replacing the CMap dir with the dangling symlink? [07:45] pitti, now I discovered it, it seems that I have changed the source tarball, but somewhere in the installation process it must have been "rm -rf"ed in favor of Defoma. === hunger_ is now known as hunger [07:45] pitti_ is defoma really deprecated in Debian (= not maintained any more)? [07:46] tkamppeter: yes [07:46] it's supposed to get removed after squeeze [07:48] pitti_, does Maverick still contain defoma? [07:48] yes, and natty does as well, as it still has a couple of rdepends [07:50] pitti, so in Maverick ghostscript was still working defoma-based then. The changes in Debian's Ghostscript 8.71, still done by the old maintainer were incomplete then. [07:53] pitti, this natty's ghostscript should then really fix the Ghgostscript part of bug 321932.
