| rbnswartz | Hey jcastro you around? | 00:45 |
|---|---|---|
| arow | does anyone here know much about registering a program to the soundmenu? | 01:28 |
| arow | I've already read the soundmenu wiki page back to front | 01:28 |
| arow | and my program seems to do everything it says there to register, yet it doesn't appear on the soundmenu | 01:29 |
| jcastro | rbnswartz: hi | 01:34 |
| jcastro | what's up | 01:34 |
| rbnswartz | Do you know what happend to DBO? And I have a question regaurding proper programming. | 01:35 |
| jcastro | he's usually not around on weekends | 01:36 |
| jcastro | I recommend mailing ayatana-dev in this case | 01:36 |
| jcastro | though he'll be around in like an hour and a half for our #ubuntu-classroom session | 01:37 |
| rbnswartz | I sent him an email but his email inbox must be rather large. | 01:37 |
| rbnswartz | Anyway onto my proper programming question. | 01:38 |
| rbnswartz | I'm hoping the bug I was working on a month ago is still open though it is marked as in progress ( hence my need to get a hold of DBO to find out if it is marked a such for me). I need to be able to change a private variable in one class from another. What would be the best method? Change it to public or make a function to change it? | 01:44 |
| rbnswartz | jcastro ^^ | 01:47 |
| jcastro | no clue | 01:47 |
| rbnswartz | on what part? | 01:49 |
| rbnswartz | jcastro ? | 02:01 |
| arow | does anyone know when ronoc is usually around? | 02:21 |
| === Amaranth__ is now known as Amaranth | ||

| coz_ | good day all | 12:26 |
| brad_ | bluetooth keyboard and mouse will pair, but won't control the Unity interface. Is there additional setup required? | 14:45 |
| smspillaz | Amaranth: the gap between the window and the launcher is caused by unity-window-decorator | 16:54 |
| smspillaz | Amaranth: since it has to expand the frame window that the client is reparented into | 16:54 |
| Amaranth | smspillaz: arg | 16:54 |
| smspillaz | Amaranth: what I'm going to do is tweak the decoration property spec somewhat to allow for a frame requested area and an "effective" input area | 16:54 |
| smspillaz | well, I've done that | 16:54 |
| smspillaz | I just need to work out the bugs | 16:54 |
| smspillaz | so hopefully that will make A2 | 16:54 |
| smspillaz | Amaranth: it will also fix the problem where the window visually "shifts" as the decoration gets created | 16:55 |
| smspillaz | because right now it shifts once and then shifts again | 16:55 |
| nexeh | Hello, im not sure if this channel is the best place for this question but lets give it a shot | 17:20 |
| nexeh | I have no sound in Ubuntu 10.04. Hardware shows up in sound preferences but nothing under input or output tabs. this was working previously and is something i most likely messed up... i could use some help. i have attached useful info here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/560302/ | 17:20 |
| spikeb | #ubuntu would be better | 17:22 |
| nexeh | Bummer, im in there to.. the last couple days there hasnt been much support in there.. i end up awnsering more questions then anything else... which i dont mind at all but can't find anyone to even acknoledge my question | 17:23 |
| arow | nexeh: if you don't mind a somewhat drastic solution, you could try replacing alsa with oss4 | 17:24 |
| arow | though you'd probably be better figuring out what it is you messed up | 17:25 |
| arow | unless you really want oss4 | 17:25 |
| nexeh | you know... i think i was messing around in that area tring to get a game to start working.. so maybe im stuck between oss and alsa | 17:25 |
| nexeh | im not to picky | 17:25 |
| nexeh | i and google the differences but and tricky things i should know about making the switch? | 17:26 |
| arow | well, I think it's become more integrated since I last used it (haven't on this install (maverick)) | 17:27 |
| arow | though I dunno if it works with pulseaudio now or not | 17:28 |
| arow | aside from compatibility with a few programs though, most users shouldn't notice the difference with oss4 | 17:29 |
| arow | most of the differences are behind the scenes | 17:29 |
| arow | though some people say oss4 has better sound quality, and there are some enthusiast sound cards that require | 17:30 |
| arow | *it | 17:30 |
| akshatj | how to I manually start the panel and launcher? | 20:24 |
| arow | you could try the command gnome-panel | 20:29 |
| arow | if you can't access the terminal, press alt+f2 to open a "run" dialog | 20:30 |
| akshatj | arow: but it starts the normal panel and I want the unity panel and launcher | 20:30 |
| arow | oh | 20:30 |
| arow | you can do it from the login screen | 20:30 |
| akshatj | arow: I am logged in to the unity session in natty and the panel and launcher are not showing up | 20:31 |
| arow | akshatj: that's strange, have you changed any settings since the last time it worked? | 20:32 |
| arow | or is this the first time you're running natty? | 20:32 |
| akshatj | arow: I just updated and the X segfaulted | 20:33 |
| akshatj | so I switched to an older version | 20:33 |
| akshatj | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1677834&page=2 | 20:33 |
| arow | akshatj: I'm afraid this is probably out of my scope | 20:45 |
| arow | my only guess, and it's not a very educated one, is that some settings may have been changed when the system couldn't find the version of X it was looking for | 20:47 |
| arow | I hope someone else here can help you, sorry | 20:48 |
| m_conley_away | chrisccoulson: ping | 21:25 |
| chrisccoulson | hi m_conley_away | 21:26 |
| m_conley_away | chrisccoulson: hey - I've got some info on that segfault | 21:26 |
| chrisccoulson | oh, excellent :) | 21:26 |
| m_conley_away | chrisccoulson: (for the globalmenu-extension w Lightning) | 21:26 |
| m_conley_away | chrisccoulson: so the extension seems to go through the menubar nodes, addign menuSeparators, menuItems, etc | 21:27 |
| m_conley_away | but if it sees something it doesn't recognize - for example, an observes tag, it flips out. | 21:27 |
| chrisccoulson | ah, i did think that it would fall over if it hits a node that it can't handle | 21:28 |
| m_conley_away | chrisccoulson: It's a small fix - cool if I submit a patch on Launchpad? | 21:28 |
| chrisccoulson | but i didn't realise that we were already hitting that | 21:28 |
| m_conley_away | chrisccoulson: (not too familiar with patch submission with you Canonical folk. :) ) | 21:28 |
| chrisccoulson | yeah, sure. that would be great. | 21:28 |
| chrisccoulson | you can branch it, and then propose a merge | 21:29 |
| chrisccoulson | thanks! :-) | 21:29 |
| === m_conley_away is now known as m_conley | ||
| m_conley | chrisccoulson: np. Were you hitting any other issues with it? After I got it working, it's pretty slick. :) Good work! | 21:29 |
| chrisccoulson | i haven't really hit any other issues yet. the only thing i need to look at this week is bug 710149, but that only really affects firefox | 21:30 |
| ubot5 | Launchpad bug 710149 in Global menubar extension "Underscores in bookmark names are displayed as mnemonics" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/710149 | 21:30 |
| chrisccoulson | and i think that's really a bug in another part of the stack, but i'm not entirely sure yet | 21:31 |
| chrisccoulson | we basically have to embed the mnemonics in the menu label (eg, "_File"), but if we really have an underscore in the label, there doesn't seem to be a way to actually display it as an underscore | 21:32 |
| m_conley | I see | 21:33 |
| m_conley | did you want me to look at that? | 21:33 |
| chrisccoulson | yeah, feel free to if you have time :) | 21:33 |
| chrisccoulson | i bet if you have a look on launchpad through the bugs for appmenu-gtk or indicator-appmenu, you might already find that a similar bug affects other browsers (like epiphany) | 21:34 |
| chrisccoulson | i'm sure someone else must have experienced it before | 21:34 |
| chrisccoulson | but it would be good to fix it | 21:34 |
| m_conley | chrisccoulson: Alright, cool - I'll take a peek. | 21:35 |
| chrisccoulson | excellent, thanks! | 21:35 |
| m_conley | chrisccoulson: np | 21:35 |
| chrisccoulson | also, if you have any questions about other parts of the stack, tedg is a good person to talk to. he normally hangs out here during the week | 21:36 |
| m_conley | awesome, thanks. :) | 21:36 |
| chrisccoulson | we should probably ask him about that bug first - he might have an answer for it already ;) | 21:36 |
| m_conley | alright, will do | 21:37 |
| chrisccoulson | hmmmm, i've got 2 dead buttons on my launcher in unity now, after running unity-2d earlier :/ | 22:26 |
| chrisccoulson | anyone knows where unity stores those? | 22:26 |
| chrisccoulson | it's not in dconf is it? | 22:26 |
| nmarques | How can I debug if Unity is loading all the required compiz plugins and the best way to launch it from a gnome2 session ? | 23:10 |
