[00:45] Hey jcastro you around? [01:28] does anyone here know much about registering a program to the soundmenu? [01:28] I've already read the soundmenu wiki page back to front [01:29] and my program seems to do everything it says there to register, yet it doesn't appear on the soundmenu [01:34] rbnswartz: hi [01:34] what's up [01:35] Do you know what happend to DBO? And I have a question regaurding proper programming. [01:36] he's usually not around on weekends [01:36] I recommend mailing ayatana-dev in this case [01:37] though he'll be around in like an hour and a half for our #ubuntu-classroom session [01:37] I sent him an email but his email inbox must be rather large. [01:38] Anyway onto my proper programming question. [01:44] 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? [01:47] jcastro ^^ [01:47] no clue [01:49] on what part? [02:01] jcastro ? [02:21] does anyone know when ronoc is usually around? === Amaranth__ is now known as Amaranth === _LibertyZero is now known as LibertyZero [12:26] good day all [14:45] bluetooth keyboard and mouse will pair, but won't control the Unity interface. Is there additional setup required? [16:54] Amaranth: the gap between the window and the launcher is caused by unity-window-decorator [16:54] Amaranth: since it has to expand the frame window that the client is reparented into [16:54] smspillaz: arg [16:54] 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] well, I've done that [16:54] I just need to work out the bugs [16:54] so hopefully that will make A2 [16:55] Amaranth: it will also fix the problem where the window visually "shifts" as the decoration gets created [16:55] because right now it shifts once and then shifts again [17:20] Hello, im not sure if this channel is the best place for this question but lets give it a shot [17:20] 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/ [17:22] #ubuntu would be better [17:23] 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 [17:24] nexeh: if you don't mind a somewhat drastic solution, you could try replacing alsa with oss4 [17:25] though you'd probably be better figuring out what it is you messed up [17:25] unless you really want oss4 [17:25] 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] im not to picky [17:26] i and google the differences but and tricky things i should know about making the switch? [17:27] well, I think it's become more integrated since I last used it (haven't on this install (maverick)) [17:28] though I dunno if it works with pulseaudio now or not [17:29] aside from compatibility with a few programs though, most users shouldn't notice the difference with oss4 [17:29] most of the differences are behind the scenes [17:30] though some people say oss4 has better sound quality, and there are some enthusiast sound cards that require [17:30] *it [20:24] how to I manually start the panel and launcher? [20:29] you could try the command gnome-panel [20:30] if you can't access the terminal, press alt+f2 to open a "run" dialog [20:30] arow: but it starts the normal panel and I want the unity panel and launcher [20:30] oh [20:30] you can do it from the login screen [20:31] arow: I am logged in to the unity session in natty and the panel and launcher are not showing up [20:32] akshatj: that's strange, have you changed any settings since the last time it worked? [20:32] or is this the first time you're running natty? [20:33] arow: I just updated and the X segfaulted [20:33] so I switched to an older version [20:33] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1677834&page=2 [20:45] akshatj: I'm afraid this is probably out of my scope [20:47] 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 [20:48] I hope someone else here can help you, sorry [21:25] chrisccoulson: ping [21:26] hi m_conley_away [21:26] chrisccoulson: hey - I've got some info on that segfault [21:26] oh, excellent :) [21:26] chrisccoulson: (for the globalmenu-extension w Lightning) [21:27] chrisccoulson: so the extension seems to go through the menubar nodes, addign menuSeparators, menuItems, etc [21:27] but if it sees something it doesn't recognize - for example, an observes tag, it flips out. [21:28] ah, i did think that it would fall over if it hits a node that it can't handle [21:28] chrisccoulson: It's a small fix - cool if I submit a patch on Launchpad? [21:28] but i didn't realise that we were already hitting that [21:28] chrisccoulson: (not too familiar with patch submission with you Canonical folk. :) ) [21:28] yeah, sure. that would be great. [21:29] you can branch it, and then propose a merge [21:29] thanks! :-) === m_conley_away is now known as m_conley [21:29] chrisccoulson: np. Were you hitting any other issues with it? After I got it working, it's pretty slick. :) Good work! [21:30] 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] Launchpad bug 710149 in Global menubar extension "Underscores in bookmark names are displayed as mnemonics" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/710149 [21:31] and i think that's really a bug in another part of the stack, but i'm not entirely sure yet [21:32] 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 [21:33] I see [21:33] did you want me to look at that? [21:33] yeah, feel free to if you have time :) [21:34] 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] i'm sure someone else must have experienced it before [21:34] but it would be good to fix it [21:35] chrisccoulson: Alright, cool - I'll take a peek. [21:35] excellent, thanks! [21:35] chrisccoulson: np [21:36] 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] awesome, thanks. :) [21:36] we should probably ask him about that bug first - he might have an answer for it already ;) [21:37] alright, will do [22:26] hmmmm, i've got 2 dead buttons on my launcher in unity now, after running unity-2d earlier :/ [22:26] anyone knows where unity stores those? [22:26] it's not in dconf is it? [23:10] How can I debug if Unity is loading all the required compiz plugins and the best way to launch it from a gnome2 session ?
