h00kI have an idea of something that I'd like to report a bug for, but I want to make sure that I'm reporting the correct package.  I am trying komodo-edit (http://www.activestate.com/komodo-edit) and it appears to use some sort of wrapper.  The unity dock doesn't appear to handle this correctly.00:22
h00kAs in, if I try to pin the entry that shows up after I launch it, and re-open using that pinned item, it doesn't actually do anything.00:22
h00k"It doesn't actually do anything" meaning that the application doesn't get launched from that unity bar.00:23

skyjumperanyone know if empathy can be forced to connect *only* when a vpn is active?01:20
charlie-tcacreate an upstart file in /etc/init and tell it to only empathy if VPN is running, I think01:21
skyjumper/etc/init looks like all system wide stuff01:23
charlie-tcaand you want empathy connecting for a single user, not the whole system?01:29
charlie-tcaMaybe do it in a bash file then. You could use an if/then for it01:29

ace__I just installed 11.04 on my test laptop. Am I the only one finding this hard to get around? It takes forever to get to your apps. It's almost like a step backwards15:10
enliace__: Unity UI? I hate it too.15:11
ichatim specially  curious what  xubuntu  will bring...  since the new xfce  has many improements ...15:13
ace__enli: I thought it looked great at first, but as I started to use it I couldn't find anything. And then the transparent crap makes it that you don't know what you're clicking on.15:13

ace__charlie-tca: will there be a change in the interface?15:14
ichatgnome seems to take ages to finnish...    and   xfce and others are juit not 'that good'15:15
enliace__: I totally agree. I want to switch between my open windows quickly. Like if I have 3 nautilus windows, first I have to click on left side panel, wait for 3 windows to cascade nicely and then switch to the one I am interested in or alt+tab combo. I love the good old bottom panel windows list. So I am back to Ubuntu classic desktop.15:15
charlie-tcaace__: compared to ?15:15
ace__enli: I agree!15:16

hobbsci've been forcing myself to use unity in 10.10 for the week15:22
hobbscit's not all bad15:22
hobbsci just need to get some of my mouse gestures/keyboard shortcuts out of muscle memory15:22
ace__hobbsc: It's going to be tough on people that are not too computer savvy15:24
hobbsci think i agree15:25
hobbscthe icons for different applications aren't always noticably different15:25
hobbsctake virtualbox and virt-manager, for example15:25
hobbscnot your average "user" applications15:25
hobbscbut, they're very similar15:25
hobbscmy only other gripe is the clock.  i miss timezones, date+time+weather displays15:26
hobbsci think unity is headed in an interesting direction, but it may not be ready for the public15:26
hobbscchange is hard, etc.15:26
ace__hobbsc: I just got my wife totally away from Windows. She really loves 10.10. I will not let her update or I'll be spending hours trying to show her how to use it. She will get frustrated and boot to her Windows partition.15:27
ace__I agree with the date+time+weather15:27
hobbscmy wife and parents both love 10.1015:28
PiciYou don't need to use Unity.15:28
hobbscand as far as the clock is concerned, at least give me the date displayed with the time15:28
hobbsci haven't figured out how to put it in 24 hour time yet, either15:28
PiciI personally use 'Classic gnome' myself.15:28
ace__Pici: you can use a different UI with 11.04?15:28
Piciace__: Yes.15:29
hobbsci'll likely use unity myself and just leave my wife with gnome15:29
ichathobbsc:  - the prob with unity for me is at least that  any desktop that you may build requires   a  fast  grafics card    not even working properly whit  intel atom based (Non ION)  computers,    i m h o     they shouldn't have used it that way   or at least not as the main  featuresset15:29
hobbscagreed15:30
hobbscthey're trying to make good changes, i can see the effort15:30
hobbscbut15:30
ace__Pici: Do you have a link that shows how to change it?15:31
hobbsci don't think it's ready15:31
Piciichat: There is a 2d version that it falls back to if you don't have a compositing graphics card.15:31
hobbsci think you can just install gnome, or a meta-package to get it all back15:31
enliace__: You mean the old UI before unity?15:31
Piciace__: From the login screen pick 'Classic Gnome' via the sessions selector.15:31
hobbscPici: can you pick the second ui in gdm?15:31
ace__enli: yes15:31
hobbscyeah15:31

SeverianWell, I want to file a bug on the alternate installer being broken, but Launchpad seems to have changed and I don't see how to open a bug.  Maybe this is another way of saving me time, but I did want to help.23:28
SeverianIt tells me to use apport with the package name.  It is the installer, not a package.23:28
yofelSeverian: the package for the alternate installer is 'debian-installer'23:29
SeverianOK.  I'll try that.  Thank you.23:29
Severianyofel, OK.  Bug reported.  Thanks again.23:44
