| ali1234 | i seem to have found a bug with wide character support in C programs. against which package should i report it? | 00:08 |
|---|---|---|
| penguin42 | can you describe the bug? | 00:29 |
| ali1234 | penguin42: yes. printf("%lc", 0x2701); does not print the unicode character "Upper blade scissors" like it is supposed to :) | 00:34 |
| ali1234 | at least my interpretation of man 3 printf leads me to believe that should work | 00:35 |
| penguin42 | hmm - that could be broken in so many places! | 00:35 |
| ali1234 | yeah | 00:35 |
| ali1234 | it's not my terminal, python outputs utf8 just fine | 00:35 |
| penguin42 | if you run that program and pype it through od -tx1 does the hex look correct? | 00:36 |
| ali1234 | no | 00:36 |
| ali1234 | because it outputs absolutely nothing | 00:36 |
| ali1234 | however i wrote my own utf8 encoder, and that outputs the symbol correctly | 00:36 |
| ali1234 | see: http://ideone.com/oQoCA | 00:36 |
| penguin42 | nothing? That's curious | 00:36 |
| ali1234 | yeah that's what #glibc just told me too | 00:36 |
| penguin42 | well, printf is in libc, so I'd file it against that | 00:37 |
| ali1234 | #glibc figured it out... i need to setlocale(LC_ALL, ""); to get the locale from the environment | 00:42 |
| penguin42 | ok, I wonder what it was trying to do without the locale | 00:44 |
| ali1234 | without a locale it just bails out as soon as it sees %lc | 00:48 |
| ali1234 | so eg printf("-- %lc --", foo); and you'll get "-- " as output | 00:48 |
| penguin42 | nice of it to let you know ! | 00:49 |
| ali1234 | yeah it was a little bit unhelpful | 00:49 |
| Terminus | hello. i'm not sure if this is the right channel or not so i'll just go ahead and ask the question. i'm experiencing an issue with vim and sql on lucid but this page says release fixed --> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vim/+bug/584797 | 05:36 |
| ubot4` | Launchpad bug 584797 in vim (Debian) (and 1 other project) "vim loses left/right cursor keys in insert mode when editing SQL (affects: 4) (heat: 25)" [Unknown,Fix released] | 05:37 |
| micahg | Terminus: it's been fixed in natty | 05:38 |
| micahg | !sru | Terminus | 05:38 |
| ubot4` | Terminus: Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates | 05:38 |
| micahg | Terminus: you have to follow the stable release update procedure if there's a simple patch that can be backported | 05:38 |
| Terminus | micahg: i see. so i assume it's still in updates-testing? | 05:39 |
| Terminus | or is it a "won't fix" bug? i'm not terribly familiar with the SRU. | 05:40 |
| micahg | Terminus: no, it's in the development release, we generally only backport patches for high impact issues | 05:41 |
| micahg | Terminus: it does seem like an annoying bug, but I'm not on the SRU team, so I'm not sure if it qualifies | 05:42 |
| micahg | Terminus: you could try asking if it's worthwhile in #ubuntu-devel in a couple hours | 05:43 |
| Terminus | micahg: i see. i thought usability would be in the "high impact" issue category, and as long as there's no regression with other packages, it would be ok. | 05:47 |
| Terminus | micahg: anyway, thanks! | 05:47 |
| Terminus | btw, why in a couple of hours? is that the time canonical people report for work? =) | 05:47 |
| micahg | Terminus: well, normally people are around by now, but I don't see them, so I figure give them time to get settled Mon Morning instead of jumping on them first thing :) | 05:48 |
| Terminus | micahg: hehe. forgot it's monday. thanks again! =) | 05:50 |
| micahg | Terminus: well, almost Tuesday for some folks :), but Monday for most of the people in these channels | 05:51 |
| Terminus | yeah, it's 2pm here. =) | 05:52 |
| micahg | almost 1AM for me | 05:52 |
| Terminus | micahg: seriously? are you right next to the date line or something? | 05:53 |
| micahg | Terminus: no, midwest US | 05:54 |
| Terminus | micahg: ah... thought it was almost tuesday for you. =) | 06:00 |

| bdmurray | patrickmw: we only added one symlink for your wireless bug right? | 14:59 |
| bdmurray | patrickmw: see bug 728746 | 14:59 |

| patrickmw | bdmurray: yes, we tried that | 15:27 |
| bdmurray | patrickmw: okay, I thought we had only made 1 of the symlinks mentioned there | 15:30 |
| * patrickmw is looking up the bug | 15:31 | |
| patrickmw | bdmurray: I will try both symlinks now | 15:31 |
| patrickmw | bdmurray: I'm having trouble booting into Unity. The last time I updated caused Unity not to start properly. Problem is, the account is set to automatically login, so I don't get the option to select Classic mode | 15:38 |
| patrickmw | I can get into tty, but I'm having trouble finding where gdmsetup sets the automatic login properties | 15:38 |
| bdmurray | seb128: How can one switch between the classic desktop and unity at a command line prompt? | 15:41 |
| seb128 | bdmurray: you can't | 15:42 |
| seb128 | where what do you mean? from a running session? | 15:42 |
| seb128 | or when starting the session? | 15:42 |
| bdmurray | seb128: see patrickmw's question above. Unity isn't working out well for him and he has chosen auto login | 15:43 |
| seb128 | oh | 15:44 |
| seb128 | edit .dmrc in your user dir | 15:44 |
| seb128 | the Session= line | 15:44 |
| seb128 | set it to classic-gnome | 15:44 |
| bdmurray | classic-gnome or gnome-classic? mine has gnome-classic | 15:45 |
| patrickmw | seb128, thank you. I've been trying to find that all weekend | 15:45 |
| seb128 | patrickmw, otherwise you can edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf to disable autologin | 15:46 |
| jcastro | I always just alt-sysrq-k myself back to gdm | 15:47 |
| * jcastro 's way is totally hammer | 15:47 | |
| seb128 | bdmurray: could be gnome-classic, I'm under an unity session now so I can't check | 15:47 |
| seb128 | the .desktop is gnome-classic.desktop, the session classic-gnome.session | 15:48 |
| seb128 | yeah for consistency | 15:48 |

| strycore | what is the name of the package that handles file associations in Gnome ? | 19:47 |

| strycore | Marking this as "Won't fix" is wrong in every possible way | 20:14 |
| strycore | First I'm going to check on my Win7 and MacOSX what are their behaviors concerning this | 20:15 |
| psusi | strycore: why? | 20:39 |
| psusi | it isn't a bug | 20:39 |
| strycore | yes it is | 20:41 |
| strycore | an a quite severe one | 20:41 |
| strycore | Ok, so I've checked Snow Leopard, Win7 and KDE | 20:42 |
| strycore | Gnome is the the worst regarding this issue | 20:42 |
| psusi | strycore: how so? if the user set it to do that, then it isn't a bug | 21:03 |
| psusi | granted, it is probably a dumb user interface to have the box checked by default, but it isn't a bug that you get what you asked for | 21:04 |
| strycore | psusi, i'm almost finished commenting on the bug, it's more detailled there | 21:05 |
| strycore | psusi, software should be forgiving | 21:05 |
| strycore | you can't just go "haha you asked for it" | 21:06 |
| psusi | strycore: how do you propose that ( other than changing the default state of the checkbox ) | 21:07 |
| strycore | one second, i'm almost finished on the bug report :) | 21:08 |
| psusi | k... I'm heading home... will read it when I get there | 21:08 |
