[11:46] <chrisccoulson> m_conley_away, did you get the latest unity updates? ;)
[12:06] <bhearsum> how stable is Oneric looking these days?
[14:07] <chrisccoulson> bhearsum, it's a bit rough since yesterday because a lot of new stuff landed in unity
[14:07] <chrisccoulson> i'd recommend people waited a few days if they were considering upgrading ;)
[14:08] <bhearsum> ah, ok :)
[14:08] <chrisccoulson> unity gained a lot of new annoying bugs since last night
[14:08] <bhearsum> =\
[14:08] <bhearsum> hopefully it lost some other ones
[14:08] <chrisccoulson> heh
[14:09] <chrisccoulson> bhearsum, you can see some screenshots if you're curious - http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/08/revamped-dash-lands-unity-2d/ ;)
[14:10] <chrisccoulson> and also http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/08/unity-update-part-2-music-lense-indicator-dash-rejig/
[14:11] <bhearsum> a revamp already =\
[14:12] <chrisccoulson> i'm actually using unity 2d today, because one of the bugs in unity 3d is really annoying
[14:12] <chrisccoulson> ie, the launcher and dash opening behind my windows
[14:12] <chrisccoulson> which makes it impossible to use ;)
[14:12] <bhearsum> ouch, that is rough!
[14:13] <chrisccoulson> bhearsum, that's bug 825046
[14:13] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 825046 in unity "Dash and launcher appear underneath windows" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/825046
[14:13] <chrisccoulson> oh, my screenshot has gone :/
[20:02] <chrisccoulson> m'eh, this is going to be a pain for us - http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9219144/Firefox_8_to_block_unapproved_add_ons
[20:10] <micahg> chrisccoulson: there should be an exception for system extensions
[20:11] <micahg> chrisccoulson: I'd suggest talking to glandium
[20:12] <micahg> that bug has been getting so many posts, I haven't had time to keep up
[20:13] <chrisccoulson> micahg, the whole point of the bug is that it blocks system extensions
[20:13] <chrisccoulson> those are exactly the extensions that it does block
[20:13] <micahg> that makes no sense
[20:13] <micahg> it should block profile extensions
[20:14] <chrisccoulson> micahg, the point of it is that it blocks extensions which it thinks the user didn't consent to installing
[20:14] <chrisccoulson> profile extensions are installed via the addons manager
[20:14] <chrisccoulson> and so the user already consented to installing them
[20:14] <chrisccoulson> the whole point of it is to block extensions that installers of third party applications install (in to a system location)
[20:14] <chrisccoulson> which the user may not have consented too
[20:15] <micahg> that makes sense in the windows world but cripples linux
[20:16] <chrisccoulson> well, it cripples distributors who bundle extensions with firefox
[20:27] <bhearsum> you guys can probably use the partner repack support to work around
[20:27] <bhearsum> i think....
[20:28] <bhearsum> kev was commented on this on the enterprise support mailing list
[20:28]  * bhearsum forwards
[20:28] <chrisccoulson> bhearsum, thanks
[20:29] <chrisccoulson> i've tried pinging kev a couple of times in the last week, but i always seem to get him when he's really busy ;)
[20:30] <chrisccoulson> bhearsum, thanks. i've got that now
[20:30] <bhearsum> yeah, he's always busy :)
[20:31] <chrisccoulson> thanks for the e-mail anyway
[20:31] <chrisccoulson> i'll try pinging him next week and discuss this with him :)
[21:01] <BUGabundo> howdy ppl that one day could make me very happy....
