kubu2any idea why kaffeine can't play mpeg-4 when dragon an?17:12
kubu2*can17:12
HukkaCan anyone verify that resizing xterm doesn't work properly?17:12
HukkaI can resize it only from the top and left sides, but if I enlargen it the created space is just black, even though underlying shell renders into it (for example a man page is cut off with the right side and bottom being just black)17:13
kubu2could be display prob. try moving to another workspace and back..it's just not redrawing fast enough?17:14
HukkaNo, that's not it17:14
HukkaMoving doesn't help17:14
HukkaAnd the original area still updates17:14
HukkaBut anything that goes into the area that's larger than the original size, is not drawn17:15
kubu2compiz prob?17:15
kubu2disable compiz and see17:15
HukkaShouldn't it be under system, preferences, appearance?17:18
HukkaSomehow I can't even find the desktop effects17:19
kubu2just fired up vbox and xterm works for me17:20
kubu2no compiz though17:20
kubu2why can't you use the gnome term?17:21
kubu2which is a lot better?17:21
HukkaBecause I'm debugging a rendering problem with vim, and seems like it doesn't like gnome-terminal17:22
kubu2what? what is it in text that needs to be rendered?17:22
HukkaIn gnome-terminal I have a weird problem that happens especially when deleting text. Sometimes parts of the text are replaced with stuff like ^[OF17:23
HukkaScrolling that part out of the view and back shows the right text again17:24
HukkaDoesn't seem to happen with xterm17:24
kubu2seems to me you have bigger issue than vim17:25
HukkaThat issue is actually quite old, I just never had bothered to start looking into it17:25
kubu2vim has nothing to do with displaying text17:25
HukkaWell, it also has never happened with any other program17:25
HukkaOnly vim17:26
penguin42Hukka: Is this gvim?17:26
HukkaNo17:26

penguin42Hukka: Is the vim running on the local machine?17:28
Hukkaalex_mayorga: I see that for a short while when gnome is starting, but soon the real icons appear17:28
Hukkapenguin42: Yes17:29
alex_mayorgaHukka: for me some remain broken, wifi, bluetooth, battery, keyboard layout17:30
penguin42Hukka: Well the ^[OF are control codes; ^[OF is the one generated by the End button17:30
alex_mayorgahttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1713430 has a screen capture of my problem17:30
alex_mayorgahow can one regenerate the icons?17:30
Hukkapenguin42: It's generated by vim, since I don't use End for example ever17:31
Hukkain Vim I go to end of line with "A"17:31
penguin42Hukka: OK, it might be one of the ANSI control sequences in the other direction as well then - not sure which; is $TERM set correctly?17:32
HukkaI see other control chars too, but can't remember them off hand. ^[OF was what I got this morning, when I decided to look into the matter17:32
Hukkapenguin42: My TERM is xterm and COLORTERM gnome-terminal17:32
HukkaI don't change it in .profile or .bash{rc,_profile}, so it comes from the system configuration17:33
penguin42odd17:36
HukkaAnd I also think it's related somehow to vim's syntax hilighting17:37
HukkaSince just opening a new file and typing randomly works fine17:37
HukkaI can't really reproduce it reliably17:38
HukkaSomeone from #vim recommended http://vim.pastey.net/11613517:41
HukkaBut anyway I'd like xterm to work too :)17:41
HukkaSo, how can I disable compiz now that it doesn't seem to be in preferences -> appearance anymore?17:42
HukkaSince kubu2 said that his xterm works fine natty without compiz17:42

cg2916I am running Natty Alpha 3. I used Update Manager to install something (not sure what it was), then I restarted, but instead of listing all the kernels, it gave me a command line. I don't know what happened and how to use it. Help!17:58
kellacg, do you have an install disc?17:58
cg2916kella: i have an install usb drive17:58
kellaunless someone has a better idea, your best option might be to boot from the install drive, chroot into your install and dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc17:59
cg2916kella: the problem is that i installed ubuntu 10.10 on the usb then upgraded to natty18:00

incorrectwhy aren't the notifications clickable?23:54
Daekdroomincorrect, the black boxes that float in the upper right?23:55
incorrectyes23:55
yofelif I remember the notify-osd specs right, clickable notifications are supposed to open a popup23:55
yofelas the notifications beome transparent when you hover over them23:56
DaekdroomYeah. The transparency is for annoying as little as possible.23:56
incorrectits weird, you expect to be able to click the notification taking you to whatever wanted you to take action on an event23:57
DaekdroomI believe it's the exact opposite because they become transparent.23:57
DaekdroomIf they didn't...23:57
yofelno, the notifications are information only23:57
yofeland you can click *through* them23:57
incorrectwell i don't expect them to blur and go out of focus23:58
yofelwell, that's how notify-osd works23:58
incorrecti don't see the logic with the blur23:58
yofelyou have the indicators if you wan to take an actual action23:58
DaekdroomI don't see how better it'd be if you could click every notification that would show up.23:59
yofelincorrect: it's so that you can access what's behind them23:59
yofelas there's no way to click them away23:59
ali1234that's how notifications used to work before notify-osd23:59
DaekdroomThink about empathy/pidgin/xchat/etc spamming you with notifications.23:59
DaekdroomIt could make using maximized apps very difficult.23:59
yofelali1234: and how they still work in KDE here, which I actually prefer over notify-osd23:59
ali1234it still spams you with notifications, you just can't click on them any more23:59
