zniavregoood afternoon11:14
zniavredoes dnd to launcher is working right now please ?11:15
dr_willisHmm. Just copied terminator.desktop to my desktop so i have a launcher. it was not made executable.. tried to run it. it ran "Untrusted application launcher'  saying..11:43
dr_willisThe application launcher "terminator.desktop" has not been marked as trusted. If you do not know the source of this file, launching it may be unsafe.11:43
dr_willis Since when did the term 'executable' become the same as 'marked as trusted'   :)  Sort of  changing the definitions of terms here isent it?11:44
dr_willisshouldent the dialog at least give a user a clue as what to do..    So launching it may be unsafe.. well.. what if i want to launch it anyway.. no info on that in the dialog.11:45
dr_willisDone ranting now.. :)11:45
M0hidr_willis: is there any new features to be added to the untrusted application launcher?11:46
dr_willisM0hi,  not that ive seen.. then again.. its only feature was basically to nag and annoy people it seemed. :)11:46
dr_willisdid it have any features besides that?11:47
M0hilol :P11:47
M0hibut is used to give a warning though =]11:47
dr_willisdont get me on the missleading stuff it does with wine apps....11:47
dr_willisI wonder if its differnt in Unity vs gnome-shell also.. using gnomeshell right now.11:47
dr_willisI just put that terminator.desktop icon on the desktop as a fallback. :) and noticed it dident get made executable by default and gave that untrusted info.11:48
M0hihmmm11:48
dr_willisIts little things like this that can use the polishing that ubuntu really needs to focus on soon.11:48
M0hidr_willis: when we are getting unstable packages from Debian, we will be having some devs of the packages here too? like working both on debian and *buntu?11:49
M0hierr too right?*11:50
dr_willisM0hi,  ive not really seen any of the developers in here.  not really seen any in #ubuntu either. They may hang in other channels11:50
M0hiBut if they remain here and see whats going on that package, they can help easily right?11:51
dr_willisI imagine they stick to the bug reporting sites and so forth.11:52
dr_willisThey need to be coding!  :)11:52
dr_willisI imagine i dont understand 1/10th the work the developers actually do.11:53
dr_willisthats why i hang in here and on #ubuntu helping the beginners and so forth.  just adding help in what ever way i can.11:53
M0hicool :)11:54
* M0hi also belongs to help and support grouped peeps =]11:55
M0hiHave to install alpha 3. Too late :[11:55
dr_willisBeen helping out on askubuntu.com also.  The site has some neat features and ideas, but lacking in some other ways.11:57
M0hiI do love sites who work for the prmotion of Ubuntu and not the people who has the main aim of earning money by posting some ads of proprietary OS12:01
bullgard4_I installed Oneiric and the package »ubuntu-desktop«. I obtain "Failed to load session "gnome". Log Out" How can I fix this? Is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1750430 applicable to Oneiric?12:01
M0hiGNOME rollbacks are same in case you tried upgrading the version to 3.0.1. #5 might help I think12:04
dr_willisbullgard4,  there was a bug about it. but it got fixed for me a day or so ago.12:06
dr_willisbullgard4,  you have done a 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' recently?12:07
dr_willisbullgard4,  in my case it was because my 3d drivers were not working properly.12:07
bullgard4_dr_willis: I did 'sudo apt-get update'and  'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' this morning.12:08
dr_williswhats your video chipset?12:09
bullgard4_M0hi: Please tell me what a "GNOME rollback" is.12:09
bullgard4_dr_willis: Intel GM96512:11
dr_willisYou could try starting gnomeshell by hand and see what error messages happen bullgard4. you are not using nvidia. so you cant be having the same issue i was having.12:15
bullgard4_dr_willis: How to start GNOME shell by hand?12:17
M0hibullgard4_: do the step #5 in the link you mentioned. That will help I believe. Sorry for the late response12:18
dr_willisi think its gnome-shell --replace12:18
dr_willisor make a custom .xinitrc and stop gdm, and use 'startx' and look for error messges12:18
bullgard4_M0hi: I followed the suggestions of #5. The error message remains the same.12:27
bullgard4_dr_willis: Now it works! Thank you! --  I had to install a missing package.12:38
bullgard4_I just installed GNOME 3 and am running it for the first time ever. How can I install the tilda program and run it?12:42
dr_willisuse the pacakge manager . and install it... then run it.. :)12:44
bullgard4_dr_willis: Is "the package manager" Synaptic? How can I invoke Synaptic in GNOME 3?12:46
bullgard4_[solved]12:52
dr_willisbullgard4,  let me say this in the nicest way.. .. its sort of scary you are using the Alpha 3 release and dont know the  basics of  the ubuntu package manager system or command line...12:52
dr_willis:)12:52
dr_willispackage manager = any of the tools to the apt system you like. :)12:53
dr_willissynaptic is not installed by default I belive any more. but its what i install and use most of the time..12:53
bullgard4_dr_willis: No. You misunderstood. I did not know how to access them. The layout is different in GNOME 3.12:54
dr_willisA+  You gain Ubuntu Skill Points today!12:54
dr_willisalt-f2 is still there. :)  but thats old-skool12:55
dr_willisfirst thing i did was drag a terminal icon to the side panel in GNomeshell12:55
dr_willisI did see some indicator-applets that added a classic gnome menu to Unity in 11.04 - i imagine it may work in 11.10 also. that  would be handy...12:56
dr_willisbe nice in gnome shell if i could just hover over a window after moving to the top left,  then back to the window.. so i dont need to click.. :)12:57
dr_willisbut thats lazy i guess.. but hay.. i dident need to click to get to the   layout of all the windows. :)12:58
dr_willisI do seem to perfer gomeshell to unity.. it just makes more sence to me..13:00
yofeldoes someone have an idea why apt takes so long to read the package lists in oneiric? It seems to have to regenerate the package cache on everything it does here. So a simple apt-cache policy bash takes several seconds13:16

yofelreal    0m3.436s13:26
yofelI do have quite a few sources enabled, but on the same apt setup the command takes "real    0m0.051s" in natty13:26
yofelso oneiric takes about 67x as much time as natty13:27
bullgard4_In Lucid GNOME 2 I could click System > Administration > Keyboard > Keyboard Preferences > Layouts. What is the equivalent in GNOME 3?13:39
zniavreior3k,  what this commandline is suposed to demonstrate please ?13:40
coz_bullgard4,  isnt it under system settings  ,, upper right  of the screen?13:40
ior3kzniavre: time is used to calculate the time it takes for a command to run13:40
zniavreit can be considered as a test performance for computer ?13:41
zniavre(sorry for my bad english)13:41
ior3kzniavre: well, it's a pretty crude way to do it, but I guess it can be used for that, yeah13:43
zniavreok thank you  verry interresting13:44
ior3kmy pleasure13:44
zniavrebtw > i can't drag and drop icons from dash to launcher that is known  ?13:45

coz_bullgard4,  cool13:48
BluesKajHiyas all13:51
yofelmvo: do you know if apt uses compressed indexes again in oneiric or if I need to look for a different cause of apt-cache's slowness?13:54
mvoyofel: maybe that enabling of multiarch for amd64? that doubles the amount of packages it look at by default13:56
yofelmvo: that would mean a factor 2 slowdown, 'apt-cache policy bash' has a factor ~67 slowdown here from natty to oneiric (using time ... as measurement)13:57
mvohm, that does not sound right, what is the test case you use?13:58
mvooh, nevermind13:58
mvoyofel: what timming data d you see? what does time apt-cache policy bash -o Debug::pkgcachegen=true13:59
mvo how?13:59
yofelmvo: with debug: natty "real    0m0.202s" and says "pkgcache.bin is valid - no need to build anything"14:02
yofelon oneiric I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/661143/14:03
mvoyofel: ok, there we go, thanks! so it appears to be a bug in the code that checks for sources.list vs cache freshness14:05
yofelI'll try to remove the files and let apt-get re-create them, but with the wifi here at desktop summit this will take a while...14:06
mvoyofel: I can reproduce it here on one machine, I have a look now, I suspect its something silly14:08
yofelthanks! :)14:08
bullgard4_[GNOME 3] How can I change the format displayed for date&time in the upper middle of the screen from "Mon 16:07" to "Mon Aug 8, 16:07"? -- System Settings > Date and Time does not seem to allow such an adjustment.14:09
mvoyofel: and so it is, a < where a > needs to be, I commit a fix, thanks for letting me know about it14:13
coz_bullgard4,  not sure  maybe gnome-tweak-tool ?14:18
coz_dconf-editor?14:18
coz_i will have to reinstall gnome3  to test14:18
coz_bullgard4,  did you try clicking the clock for settings?14:19
bullgard4_coz_: Right-clicking on the clock applet opens a window. This includes a button »Date and Time Settings«.Clicking on it will open a window »Date and Time«. This does not let me adjust the display format of date&time.14:25
coz_bullgard4,   ok   I am going by last month's memory of gnome3,,, sorry14:25
escottbullgard4_, if this is gnome3 install gnome-tweak-tool gives you a couple more options14:26
coz_bullgard4,   try  gnome-tweak-tool... or maybe dconf-editor,, not sure about the latter one on gnome3 thought14:26
coz_though14:26
dr_willisMy clock says 'Mon Aug 8, 10:35'14:35
dr_willisMust have been a gnome-tweak-tool setting  i used14:36

escottis synaptic completely messed up for others. the quick search no longer returns results15:00
dr_willisescott,  i had a similer bug a few weeks back in 11.04 ... not seen it in 11.10 yet.15:00
jbichaone of the Debian GNOME maintainers really doesn't like that if an extension is installed, it is activated for everyone on the computer15:00
mvoescott: do you still have apt-xapian-index installed? does it help if you run "sudo update-apt-xapian-index" ?15:01
dr_willisescott,  it seems to be working here.15:01
escottits driving me nuts. what package should i remove to remove the unity session15:02
dr_willisescott,  what are you going to use instead?15:02
escottmvo, yes the apt-xapian-index is installed15:02
escottdr_willis, gnome-shell. i'd be happy with switching the default to gnome-shell on the gdm screen, but it keeps going back to unity15:02
dr_willisescott,  odd.. its staying at gnome-shell here.. perhaps your .dmrc somehow got owned by root instead f the user15:03
dr_willis.dmrc file -> [Desktop]15:03
dr_willisSession=gnome-shell15:03
dr_willisgdm? You mean Lightdm? or are you actually using gdm?15:04
escottdr_willis, Session is gnome in dmrc. ill change it to gnome-shell and see if that makes it work. i am using gdm, i don't get the point of lightdm15:05
escottdr_willis, stuff like unity/lightdm is making me strongly consider fedora15:06
BluesKajescott, that won't get you anywhwere gnome is gnome no matter which distro15:07
dr_willisdont see how the DM matters much...15:07
dr_willisfedora gnomeshell looked itendical to  whats on 11.10 when i tested the fedora live cd the other day. :)15:08
escottdr_willis, by why? what was wrong with gdm that we so desperately needed lightdm? i haven't seen a convincing case for that. there seems to be a big not-invented-here attitude. anyways i'm getting !ot15:09
bjsniderwhat they'd said was gdm contained a lot of extra complexity that was unneeded15:10
bjsniderdid canonical invent lightdm?15:10

BluesKajKDE here ,  the igital clock shows 12 hr time AMPM on the KDE Control Module , but shows 24 hr time format in the panel ...any method to fix this ?15:33
BluesKajdigital15:33
PiciBluesKaj: I'm pretty sure that you can change the widget's preferences and set whatever format you want in there.15:34
escottBluesKaj, gnome and kde use different settings systems. you need to go into the settings system for the other desktop environment and change it there15:34
BluesKajPici, I did that , but the plasma/panel clock doesn't change , and escott I already set it up in system settings , no change in the panel after that setting either15:37
BluesKajthe panel options dialog aka the kde control panel shows the correct format , but it just doesn't display it15:39
dr_willisI recall once that some apps had to be restarted after you changed the system time/format..15:42
dr_williswhich ment you had to log out/back in basically15:42
dr_willisnever have understood why they couldent just put a checkbox in the clock menus to do 12/24....15:42
dr_willisThen again i never could understand why a disrto that targets beginners and 'common people'  would not be defaulting to the 12/am/pm format anyway. :)15:43
BluesKajdr_willis, well, at least in the Noth American time zones15:44
dr_willisSo people in  China use 24hr clocks normally?15:44
BluesKajyes and europe15:45
dr_williscant say ive ever noticed it...15:45
dr_willisbut then again.. i dont travel there. :)15:45
dr_willis24hr clocks and the metric system! no wonder its all chaotic over there. :)15:45
BluesKajexcpt for uk , I think ..but I can stand corrected on the IK time15:46
BluesKajUK15:46
dr_willisI suppose next they will want a standard currancy :)15:46
BluesKajmetric hasn't got anything to do with that dr_willis ...we use the metric system here in Canada , but we still prefer AMPM15:47
patdk-wkyen?15:47
dr_willisWe need a metric clock. :) 100 sec per min.. 100 min per hr...15:51

escottbullgard4_, they "want" you to suspend and not shutdown. its supposed to be less confusing or something. silly considering most peoples suspend functionality is broken16:30

escotthibernate would be to disk16:36
dr_willisstill wondering where that got defined at.. :)   i recall it used to be 'suspend to ram' and 'suspend to disk'  but then.. whats sleep .. :) to ram i guess...16:37

PiciDon't go through with it until you're okay with what its going to remove.18:17
dr_willisi always do dist-upgrade.. otherwise you dont get all the updates.. :)18:18
PiciBluesKaj: You'll need to run a dist-upgrade if you plan on being at all updated while using an alpha.18:18
dr_willisI tend to do a update, upgrade, then dist-upgrade just so i can see whats getting updated at each state easier..18:18
BluesKajyeah, I do the same , but I'm leery18:19
PiciI do a dist-upgrade every time, but I read the changelogs and what is being removed before I tell it to go.18:20
* dr_willis dives in like a Manly man! and dist-upgrades....18:21

dr_willisim finding a lot of mentions of swap limits of 2gb max....21:10
dr_willisbut its in a ot of old old docs21:10
dr_willisUntil Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 there was a limitation on the partition size of 2GB for each swap space. This was due to the mkswap command not supporting creation of a swap partition larger than 2GB.21:11
dr_willisSeems it may be a mkswap bug.....21:11
dr_willismore then it is a kernel limit.21:11
BUGabundoSetting up swapspace version 1, size = 11534331904 bytes21:12
BUGabundolets see if I can swapon over ether :D21:12

dr_willishow is that NAS shareing that file?21:14
BUGabundocifs21:14
dr_willisit might be a cifs limit.. I cant recall ever hearing of someone having a swap file on a share like that..21:14

* dr_willis googles for CIFS swap file21:15
BUGabundoI had lots of problems trying to get NFS working with 11.1021:15
BUGabundoended up moving every machine to CIFS21:15
dr_willishttps://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=651421:15
BUGabundoonly to find out that 11.04 hangs on shutdown21:15
dr_willisIn order to swap to a cifs share, you need to mount it and then use the loopback module to create the swapfile.21:15
yofeldr_willis: you can resume from a file, with uswsusp. You just need to tell it the offset from the partition beginning so it knows where to read/write to. There's a tool to find that out21:15
BUGabundoand its not fixed yet, not the workaround works if you have more then one mount point :(21:16
yofeljust that uswsusp is broken in oneiric and doesn't install the update-initramfs stuff. You'll find solution on the debian BTS21:16
