Unit193drc: Internet issues?00:11
DarkEradrc needs to enter his password in Xchat not only in nickserv but also in server to solve the changing host and cloak problem. ;-)01:01
Unit193I have SASL so even timeouts don't take it off...01:02
DarkEraand if you do  /set irc_join_delay 10  ?01:04
DarkEraseems i read that wrong.... my bad01:08
cody-somervilleI think there might be a serious memory leak issue with natty. 01:59
cody-somervilleand indeed I can confirm02:25
cody-somervillegltext has a massive memory leak02:25
DarkEradoes this affect every *buntu Natty release?02:26
* DarkEra is still trying to learn after 3 years of using Linux02:27
cody-somervilleOut of the box, only Xubuntu + Mythbuntu. We're the only ones who use xscreensaver.02:28
cody-somervilles/use/ship by default/02:29
cody-somervilleDoes reboot work for anyone else? It doesn't work for me.02:31
DarkEraso this memory leak could have caused the freeze of my netbook then yesterday evening while the screensaver was on for a while02:33
Unit193cody-somerville: I'm currently stuck in TTY right now...02:33
cody-somervilleDarkEra, Yes!02:34
cody-somervilleDarkEra, Its caused *huge* performance issues for me as it causes all my other applications to swap to disk02:34
cody-somervilleand then they're super slow02:34
cody-somervilleand I was like... ugh, natty sucks02:34
DarkErai needed to shut it down... the hard way :(02:35
cody-somervilleDarkEra, Try disabling the gltext screensaver and see if you run into the problem again.02:35
cody-somervilleLP #768032 is the bug, btw.02:35
ubottuLaunchpad bug 768032 in xscreensaver (Ubuntu Natty) "gltext seems to leak memory eventually causing oom-killer to run" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/76803202:35
DarkEracody-somerville, i set the screensaver on Blank Screen only and had no problems after that02:36
PjotrI would like to make a suggestion for Xubuntu 11.1013:57
PjotrThe default desktop would look much nicer and tidier, if all hard disk partitions wouldn't be mounted automatically13:58
charlie-tcaagreed13:58
charlie-tcabut to not mount them would also mean not auto-mounting cdrom or usb drives13:59
Pjotreasy to change of course, but first impressions are important. 13:59
Pjotr@charlie-tca: can't thoise categories be separated?13:59
charlie-tcaBut not easy to make happen13:59
charlie-tcaThey are not separate in Xfce, which makes it very difficult14:00
Pjotran issue for upstream then?14:00
charlie-tcayes, which they are working on14:00
Pjotrin Xfce 4.10? Or will it be backported to 4.8 as well?14:01
charlie-tcadon't know yet if it will be available in 4.1014:01
PjotrOK.... Thanks for the info14:02
PjotrOne other issue: the default wallpaper in Xubuntu is very dark. It would look much more atractive if a lighter wallpaper would be used. Again: in order to improve first impression....14:04
charlie-tcaEverybody seems to have a different opinion when it comes to light vs dark wallpaper. We had many people hate the lighter background.14:04
charlie-tcaHowever, it is very easy to change wallpapers.14:05
Pjotryes, but first impressions matter...14:05
charlie-tcaand many people think the darker wallpaper is a huge improvement over the light14:05
charlie-tcaagain, different opinions14:05
charlie-tcaWe can't please everyone14:06
Pjotrtastes differ. :P14:06
charlie-tcaexactly14:06
charlie-tcawhich is why we include the light background, all you have to do is change it14:06
charlie-tcabut most people don't see it much, since they open their applications and go to work14:06
Pjotrthat's true ofcourse. 14:07
Pjotrwell, Xubuntu 11.04 has become very elegant, I think14:07
charlie-tcaThank you14:08
Pjotra good contender for Unity14:08
Pjotrthe dock is particularly nice, I think. Both beautiful and functional14:08
charlie-tcaA lot of time and effort went into making the theme and panels work well14:09
Pjotrit's steady as a rock as well. Thanks for a great product!  :-)14:10
charlie-tcaThanks for letting us know.14:10
Pjotrhave to go now. bye.14:10
drc57 updates? On a Daily Build?14:40
charlie-tcahuh?14:44
charlie-tcaseems low14:44
charlie-tcaalternate images don't exist14:44
charlie-tcaWe should start seeing between 100 and 200 a day soon14:44
drcI know  I was doing Live-64-Entire...just for practice.14:45
charlie-tcaWe will have a ton of updates daily real soon14:45
drcThis was not an update, this was a fresh install of the daily build. Ther are that many updates between the time they build the image and now?14:45
charlie-tcaand, yes, they will build the images, an hour later there will be a lot of updates for that image14:46
* drc starts looking for his LMDE cd....er...dvd ;)14:46
charlie-tcaThe image is just a snapshot of what is there at the moment of the build14:46
charlie-tcaSince updates are put through 24 hours a day, they never stop14:47
charlie-tcaI don't think we will get a fix on the alternate image this weekend, since the weekend after the milestone is usually pretty dead14:51
charlie-tcaI think it is a server issue, though14:51
drcWell, then that server will get no tip from me, such lousy service.14:52
charlie-tcaheh14:52
drcWell well well..."Not all updates can be installed"14:54
charlie-tcanormal14:54
charlie-tcait means that they are still updating packages14:55
drcjust do the partial?14:55
drcor wait14:55
charlie-tcaor they broke the update-manager14:55
charlie-tcapartial will break things14:55
drcwait it is14:55
charlie-tcamost of the time14:55
drcOK...how to get VB to recognize a USB Stick...I've done Settings>USB, Enable USB controller is checked, The USB stick is there and checked, When I run the VM the USB is there in Devices> USBDevices, but greyed out and it won't mount?14:58
drcme thinks this will be another facepalm moment for him...and so early in the day too....14:59
charlie-tcaclick the usb thing at the bottom of the vbox window14:59
charlie-tcaafter you launched14:59
charlie-tcaI don't know how to install from it, though15:00
charlie-tcaclicking it or right clicking it lets you mount it15:00
drcNO USB Devices Attached...click does nothing...the greyed out USB stck is listed there also.15:01
drcOH well...can't do any tests...calls for a USB test and I can;t do one...Oh Woe Is Me....15:02
charlie-tcaokay, are you in the VBox users group on the main system?15:03
charlie-tcaUsers must be added to the vboxusers group to allow USB drives to be used in VirtualBox 15:03
charlie-tcago to menu -> System -> Users and Groups15:03
charlie-tcaAdd drc to the group vboxusers15:04
charlie-tcaThen you have to restart or logout to activate that change15:04
charlie-tcaThen you can use USB in VBox15:04
charlie-tcaThis is harder to find in the documentation for VBox15:06
drcorly?15:06
charlie-tcayup, knome found it 15:07
drcOn the Host, not the VM, right?15:08
charlie-tcaright15:08
drclogout15:08
drcWorks15:11
charlie-tcaGood15:11
charlie-tcanow to get some testing done...15:11
drcI *knew* if I mentioned not being able to test, you'd find a solution :)15:11
drc64-Live-Entire short test done15:12
charlie-tcaWow! that was fast, too15:13
drcThat's what my wife says too....15:13
charlie-tcaif you use sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, there are 59 upgrades, 1 new, 3 removed15:13
drcThe only odd thing was  Firefox: about:startpage - Not Found - The requested URL /11.10/Google was not found on this server.15:14
charlie-tcanothing held back15:14
charlie-tcaYou need to run updates, that was fixed15:14
drcdarn it15:14
drcI was gonna take a nap...tiring work, testing15:15
charlie-tcaI know ;-)15:15
charlie-tcaI might have to take tomorrow off, too.15:15
drcWell...I suppose...maybe we could let you.15:20
drcAssuming the update goes well, an email to the -devel ML stating the test done and the results would be in order?15:22
charlie-tcayeah, that would be good15:22
drcDo I need to report the firefox thingie ?15:23
charlie-tcaor what failed15:23
charlie-tcano, it is already reported as a bug15:23
charlie-tcaI can kick monday about it not being in the image yet15:23
drcOK, then...All Systems Go. 64-Live-Short passed.15:24
charlie-tcaGreat!15:25
charlie-tcaWhen I go away today, I won't be back until Oneiric is installed15:30
charlie-tcarunning resize test15:34
charlie-tcaInstall for 64bit desktop cd does not work from the desktop15:39
charlie-tcaIt can only be run from the cd menu itself. It does a logout after partitioning during the live desktop install15:39
charlie-tca(and, you can not log back in, since the only known user in GDM is "other"15:40
charlie-tcaVirtualBox installation, not tried hardware15:41
drchuh, did not try from Desktop, did the LiveCD test and then away to do something and came back rebooted and installed from the menu.15:46
drccharlie-tca:  When I send the mail to the ML, I'll note that menu install...you going to note the Desktop problem?15:47
charlie-tcano, I am the one the reports go to15:49
drcWell, report yourself ;)15:49
charlie-tcareport myself to myself?15:49
drcand make sure you don't play favorites15:50
charlie-tcaI will try not to15:50
Unit193I still have the 32LiveCD?18:26
drcUnit193: Yup18:27
Unit193Sweet. Heh, it's 800M18:28
drcThe 64Live coud not install from the Desktop icon (according the charlie-tca, I didn't try ot), so you may have to do the LiveCD test and then re-boot to install from the initial men.18:28
drcmenu,,sheesh...fngers are tired today18:29
charlie-tcaUnit193: usb drive or VBox, either one should work20:09
charlie-tcahm, looking at the build logs, I think 32bit should from the live desktop, but 64bit will have issues.20:12
charlie-tcaWell, I have to go install Oneiric now. Back later, when it is working ;-)20:31
drcin October?20:32
* astraljava hi^5s drc20:44
astraljavaerr... that's rather redundant20:44
astraljava^5s20:44
Unit193drc AND charlie-tca are gone...23:04
Unit193drc: Great! You're back!23:48
