iheartubuntuIn-N-Out sticker on Jono's computer HAAAAA19:08
pleia2hahaha, ubuntu coffee cups :)19:08
nhainesI'm about to upgrade x.org, gdm, unity, software-center, apt-get, and upgrade-manager all at the same time.  What could possibly go wrong?19:08
iheartubuntunothing :) worked for me!19:09
iheartubuntu(although not on this comp)19:10
iheartubuntuid say thats a huge plus. i remember a few years back some beta updates i did crashed my system.19:10
nhainesThat's a risk at any time in beta.19:12
iheartubuntuin my case, i have not had that happen for a long time, so +1 for Ubuntu!19:14
akkUbuntu really does very well with upgrades.19:15
akkOn another channel someone was getting all excited that SuSE was finally supporting upgrade-in-place19:15
akkand sheesh, that's been reliable for ubuntu for, what, 5 years?19:16
nhainesakk: that's what kept me off of Linux (and SuSE 9.2) back in 2003....19:16
akkI remember it used to be a nightmare in Redhat, everybody always reinstalled instead of upgrading.19:16
nhainesAnd it's also what helped me switch in 2006 is that Ubuntu had upgraded just fine for the past year and a half.19:16
pleia2wow, I had no idea they didn't spport them until now19:16
nhainesI appreciate that it is not an easy thing to do.  Although it's really fun to see the Ubiquity installer support upgrades now.  :)19:17
akkLittle stuff always breaks in upgrades, but not because of the upgrade, just because of software changes.19:17
akkBut no major things (knock silicon).19:18
nhainesGrr, now Unity isn't raising windows or assigning focus.19:34
grantbowpleia2: what's that bug # you were talking about? the unity soft keyboard.19:36
pleia2grantbow: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/73981219:37
nhainesActually, it's not doing anything right now.  Hmm, maybe I need another reboot.19:37
grantbowthanks19:37
grantbowjono: thanks for looking at that bug. I agree with pleia2 there's an issue there.19:56
jonograntbow, pleia2 I suspect this will be bumped to Ocelot - I agree with Mark that this does not inhibit the Ubuntu experience for a11y reasons, the classic mode still exists, but it will make Unity suck19:59
jonoso we can still deliver an a11y experience via the classic mode, but Unity will be less compatible19:59
jonothe a11y work bore great fruit, they just ran out of time19:59
