Stanley00oh, nevermind, I have tried search for its addons.00:03
dajhornHow do I install the gnome-desktop-environment package on Ubuntu Oneiric beta 1?  Software Center crashes and apt-get says that python-gnomeapplet is not installable.00:12
escottam i correct that it is now impossible to install skype 32bit on a 64bit system or am I missing something? ldd `which skype` shows libQtDBus.so.4 => not found, but apt-file search libQtDBus.so.4 only lists the 64bit versions and apt-get install libqt4-dbus:i386 fails on various dependencies (ie it seems not to want to install the i386 version of the packages)00:22
jbichadajhorn: why do you want that package, just install gnome-shell or gnome-panel00:22
escottdajhorn, the gnome2 style panels are gone in oneric00:23
dajhornjbicha: Upgrading older Ubuntu installations to Oneiric chokes on the gnome-desktop-environment metapackages.  Field upgrades look like they will be difficult.00:24
jbichadajhorn: why do you need that package? that's a meta package for Debian use, Ubuntu uses ubuntu-desktop00:27
dajhornjbicha: `apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment` was an easy and sensible way to get a working gnome desktop on earlier releases.00:29
billybigriggerit's been ubuntu-desktop for awhile now00:29
dajhornjbicha: Looks like the same things in Oneiric universe are currently broken.  ("It doesn't have to make sense if its policy.")00:30
dajhornjbicha: Thanks, btw.   gnome-shell and gnome-panel got the desired result.00:30
bassowell well00:31
bassoloads of updates00:31
bassoand still vertical tearing on gnome-shell when using nvidia :(00:31
jbichafor the technical side, it's difficult to fix the gnome-desktop-environment package as it's meant to get a working GNOME2 install on Debian00:33
jbichaobviously we don't ship GNOME2, and the new meta-gnome3 source package hasn't been published yet00:33
dajhornAnd GNOME 3 is outside main.00:34
jbichaso is gnome-desktop-environment, but most of GNOME3 is in main00:35
bassouhm00:46
bassoi cant see adwaita00:47
bassoor any shell theme in tweak tool00:47
bassois it just me?00:47
billybigriggerno not just you00:48
Peddyis anyone else experiencing frequent crashes of gnome shell?00:56
billybigriggernot yet01:01
urlin2uonly when it actually runs01:02
bassoyes gnome shell crashes quite strangly01:03
bassoand randomly01:03
bassobut it wont be used when the main theme is missing01:03
basso:P01:03
bronsonPeddy, yeah, gnome shell is totally unusable for me.01:11
Peddyokay thanks for confirming mentlegen, i'm sure it won't be unstable for too much longer!01:14

OnlyodinIs anyone else missing Window Titles, titlebar buttons, window borders, etc?03:18
OnlyodinAlso, whenever I'm prompted to report a problem, if I click "Report Problem..." it prompts for my password, then goes back to the "System program problem detected" popup.03:20
urlin2uOnlyodin, seems rather buggy overall to be honest, been ths way since the DE have changed starting with Natty in development.03:22
urlin2uI use Natty now but oneiric seems as unstable.03:23
Onlyodinhmm ok.  So it might not be a setting I have to change, or a package that has somehow dropped off?03:23
bazhangapport is crashing?03:24
Onlyodinlooks that way.03:24
bazhangthe irony03:24
Onlyodinit prompts for a gksudo password, and I guess crashes in collecting data to report.03:25
OnlyodinI couldn't stand Natty.  It's less stable than oneiric.03:25
bazhangyou have a ton of PPA installed on Natty?03:26
OnlyodinRight now unity is borked, but at least I can change to the gnome3 desktop and everything still functions.03:26
urlin2unot worth the hassle for me I used to install the develpments right off with very little trouble, it will all get ironed out eventually I suspect.03:26
Onlyodinbrb, gonna log out / in03:27
OnlyodinStrange. I logged out + in, and the gnome3 shell was stuffed just like unity.03:33
Onlyodinrebooted and went straight for gnome3 shell, and all is 'normal' again.03:33
Onlyodinas far as 'gnome3' and 'normal' can go in the same sentence...03:34
deciohey03:52
bazhanghi03:52
deciowhat do you guys think of the menuon ubuntu 11.10. On the Launcher???03:53
deciohello?03:56
bazhangdecio, think of? as in changing it? just general opinions?03:57
deciothe menu position in ubuntu 11.1003:58
rwwbazhang: I think they're asking how we feel about the menu moving from the very top-left on the menubar to the actual launcher dock thing itself03:58
deciorww: exactly03:58
rwwI personally think it's more discoverable and like it from screenshots, though I haven't used it yet.03:58
deciorww, I have and I think that's ok03:59
OnlyodinI liked it better in the menubar03:59
deciobut they are taking away the "Win"+"a" to access applications, a least they did in the beta04:00
decio104:00
deciothat was my favorite shortcut04:00
urlin2usynapse is my favorite shortcut04:02
jA_cOp"whereis librt" -> "librt: /usr/lib64/librt.so /usr/lib64/librt.a", except I'm on a 32 bit machine. Is this normal?04:04
jA_cOpI can't find librt anywhere in /lib or /usr/lib04:04
decioI think is /usr/share/lib04:05
deciofor get it04:05
jA_cOpHm, I have no /usr/share/lib04:05
jA_cOpalso, "file -L /usr/lib64/librt.so" -> "/usr/lib64/librt.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, stripped"04:06
jA_cOpso it's really using a 64 bit SO on my 32 bit system... I am getting undefined reference errors for clock_gettime and clock_getres in one of my applications, which prompted this research, am I doing something wrong or is this a bug of some sort?04:07
decioWhere can I learn all that terminal codes, is it a web site or something, because I'm not good at it04:09
urlin2udecio, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal04:12
urlin2ucheck the links at the bottom, also notice man and help04:13
deciothanks04:14
mikedep333hi, how do I figure out what the PID is of an X11 window?04:55
mikedep333I'm getting "system program problem detected" messages. whenever I click cancel or report problem, it comes back 3 seconds later04:55
mikedep333I'm tempted to just use xkill04:56
mikedep333alright, I xkill'd it, problem solved04:58
billybigriggeranyone here play hon?05:21
bullgard6GNOME 3 does not provide TeaTime. What substitute do you recommend?05:53
xgt001hey there... I am not able to connect to internet via usb modem in oneiric... it gets disconnected all the time.. I could connect in the live session.. any ideas06:38
mortalis it normal for update-manager -d installation to fail07:00

=== debfx_ is now known as debfx
qziohi, I upgrade to oneiric yesterday and after the reboot it just stops right after it has mounted the disk. I managed to get a shell by passing init=/bin/sh to grub...08:18
qziomy guess is that something is wrong with the startup scripts, but I don't know how to fix that...08:18
zniavregood morning08:31
zniavregot wrong volume applet in fallback session that is known ?08:32
=== eric is now known as MathPoetry
qziocan anyone point me to something that might help me to understand the bootup process? I upgraded from natty to oneiric yesterday and my system wont boot properly, even using the recovery option in the grub list. It just stops right after the filesystem is mounted.09:34
qzioif i add init=/bin/sh i get a prompt. but I have no idea how to solve this properly...09:36
qziois there some kind of mailing list I can ask for help? I have no idea where to send a bugreport, is there some general project for this kind of stuff?09:36
Stanley00qzio: well, I think From-PowerUp-To-Bash-Prompt-HOWTO is a good start here...09:38
qzioStanley00: thanks, i'll look into it09:47
Stanley00qzio: yrw09:48
Stanley00qzio: you are welcome :)09:48
o_portista17on the ubuntu 11.11 can i use the old gnome? the one that is avaliable by default on the ubuntu 11.04?09:50
Stanley00o_portista17: why do you need old gnome?09:50
o_portista17i don't like unity09:51
Stanley00o_portista17: anyway, just give it a try, it's beta testing anyway ;)09:51
qzio:) I'll read some and see if i can find anything that might be worth trying. Then ill do a complete reinstall...09:52
qziois there a way to display a list of everything that is started during init?09:52
Stanley00qzio: I dont know, maybe not09:53
zniavre_o_portista17,  you can try fallback session installing gnome-fallback-session (kind of classic gnome-panel)09:54
o_portista17hum..ok, will try that09:54
Stanley00o_portista17: or try building-up from alternate cd.09:55
qziogrr. it's like init isnt even starting any getty's or something..09:59
qziothe last line is "EXT4-fs (sda1): re-mounted. Opts: discard, errors=remount-ro and then nothing, no prompt, no x, nothiing :(10:01
Stanley00qzio: in that case, try check your hard drive, and/or /ect/fstab config file10:02
sam-_-x wont start. cant figure out why: paste.ubuntu.com/68111310:04
sam-_-nvm. xdm is working fine. only lightdm and gdm are not10:13
ElTimoHas anyone else noticed their computers running hotter under oneiric?10:21
qzioStanley00: i removed the discard option from my fstab, but still same thing...10:22
Stanley00ElTimo: It's almost the same on my laptop,10:22
qzioit says "Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ... done on the line before the EXT4-fs line...10:23
Stanley00qzio: did you try checking your hard drive?10:23
ElTimoStanley00: It's running noticeably hotter than Natty, which runs noticeably hotter than Windows.10:23
Stanley00ElTimo: did you install all driver? my laptop is cooler after I install my Radeon driver.10:24
ElTimoStanley00: I have all the drivers installed. I'm running Bumblebee so I'm thinking it might have something to do with that.10:25
Stanley00ElTimo: well, then, I dont know why, but my lappy is cool...10:26
qzioStanley00: check, how? I have no problem mounting it using a live cd, or booting with the init=/bin/bash option to get access to the filesystem...10:27
Stanley00qzio: could you paste the content of /etc/fstab?10:28
qziosure, hold on10:30
qzioStanley00:  http://pastebin.com/diU2SWc910:33
Stanley00qzio: ok, just a minute10:33
qziohm.. i have /initrd.img which points to a img in /boot that doesn't exists-..10:34
qzioohm,nm it does exists.10:35
Stanley00qzio: hmm, fstab look normal, /me cant figure out why...10:37
Stanley00qzio: are you trying build a linux system from ground up?10:37
qzioStanley00: nope, not at all. I did updated from natty...10:40
qzioit complained at libc2 or something, so i after reboot, i booted into livecd and installed the proper package, now apt doesn't complain on anything, and i've runned dist-upgrade and upgrade without problems10:41
Stanley00qzio: hmm, I cant help you this time. Sorry.10:43
ElTimoStanley00: I figured out why it's running hot.10:46
ElTimoZeitgeist is using 100% of one core and 50% of another, constantly.10:47
qziok, i typed in a faulty init= at the grub prompt, it gets to the part where it's supposed to do that, and then fails. same place as wthout any cusomt init= set.10:47
BigWGreetings10:47
qzioso I guess something is mega-wrong with my init scripts...10:47
BigWUhm, what happened with regional settings in Beta1? I can't find an option to add more keyboard layouts10:48
qzioif I do init=/etc/init.d/rcS it does other stuff, but failes later on.10:48
BigW:/10:48
Onlyodinwhy does bugs.launchpad.net refer to the current +1 as "Oneiric Octopus"?10:50
qzioSTiK: if oI do init=/etc/init-d/rc 2 it does some more stuff, but says init: Failed to coneect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused10:57

OnlyodinStanley00, sometimes even more often than that!12:22
Stanley00I think it is beta now? :))12:23

abandersnatchso, whats the future of unity looking like? are we actually going to be able to run two applications at a time and have a normal application menu?13:26
abandersnatchlike every other sane desktop in existance13:26
IdleOneabandersnatch: you might want to take a read http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/k2nvl/we_are_the_ubuntu_unity_development_team_we_3/ not sure if it answers your questions or not but might be useful13:29
abandersnatchreddit? srsly?13:30
IdleOneyup13:30
abandersnatchwhy not make a thread on 4chan... jesus...13:30
IdleOneheh13:30
IdleOnedon't know, maybe ask them13:30
abandersnatchnothing there13:34
abandersnatchseriously, who the hell thought that searching for applications and giant icons would be a good idea?13:34
IdleOneabandersnatch: the design team13:35
abandersnatchwere they high?13:36
abandersnatchI seriously can not see how anyone thought this would work13:36
abandersnatch"oh, well, when someone left clicks on applications. He will be given a choice. Either to search for the applications exact name. OR search threw 95 different icons and guess!"13:37
IdleOneyou can change the size of the icons in ccsm13:37
IdleOneor you can use gnome313:37
IdleOneor a different DE, not going to list them all.13:38
abandersnatch"what if they don't want to search threw 95 different icons?" "Well, they can refine it by left clicking" "isn't left clicking usually for changing options? not executing applications?" "maybe......"13:38
IdleOnepoint is you do have choices. Unity is not your cup of tea, try a different tea. :)13:38
abandersnatchits not the size, its the quanity. Making them smaller wouldn't help anything13:38
abandersnatchIts no ones cup of tea13:38
IdleOneapparently the design team disagrees13:38
abandersnatchthe design team can think whatever they want, they are building a desktop for human beings, and human beings disagree13:39
abandersnatchhuman beings > design team13:39
IdleOneabandersnatch: not sure what else to tell you. It is what it is.13:40
abandersnatchyou should bitch as well, until they listen. If you dont bitch, nothing ever gets done13:40
IdleOneI used gnome for ever and switched to kde because of not liking Unity.13:40
bazhangabandersnatch, any actual support questions? and watch the language13:41
abandersnatchwell, no one ever did answer my question13:41
IdleOneyou might want to give kde a fair shake, took me some time but I really like it now.13:41
IdleOneI did answer your question.13:41
IdleOnethe answer was the design team decided.13:42
abandersnatchyeah, I used kde. I'm not fond of how they have 70 different ways to the same configuration options13:42
IdleOneguess there is no pleasing you :P13:42
abandersnatchso, you cant launch multiple instances of an application in the latest version as well?13:42
IdleOneyes you can13:42
abandersnatchah, thats good13:42
abandersnatchbut still no normal application list?13:43
IdleOnedownload the beta (see topic for link) and try it13:43
IdleOnenormal? not like in gnome2 no.13:43
abandersnatchlike in kde, gnome1, gnome 2, windows, osx, openbox, fluxbox, xfce, and lxde. Yes. Normal13:44
IdleOneright, no.13:44
abandersnatchugh...13:44
IdleOnegnome is moving away from "normal"13:44
abandersnatchyeah, everyone is copying the iphone lately13:45
qziois there some other channel that I can use for help regarding oneiric besides #ubuntu+1 ? is there some mailinglist or something?13:46
IdleOneqzio: look on http://lists.ubuntu.com13:47

utusanwhy would gnome-shell depends on libtelepathy?  Is that how it communicate with the OS?15:32
Adysits for the user comms menu15:32
utusanI thought ibus or dbus does that15:33
Adysit does both local and online presence15:33
utusan???15:34
Adyseg xmpp status, this sort of thing15:34
Adysi dont remember everything, ive been on kde ever since gnome became terrible :)15:34
utusanI thought telepathy is about voip or some sort15:35
Adysno, telepathy is a communication framework15:36
Adyshttp://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/15:36
BluesKajAdys, gnome has never really appealed to me , but Kwin is a mess on my machine atm , so desktops of all sorts seem to have problems on 11.1015:36
AdysBluesKaj: you dont have to use kwin15:36
utusanbut why would a desktop session has to do with it?15:37
BluesKajyeah, but it's familiar15:37
Adysi use openbox personally, but i'd recommend metacity; openbox can be a pain to deal with15:37
Adysutusan: telepathy is used in the gnome presence menu15:37
Adyswhich communicates online presence (eg pidgin integration etc) as well as desktop presence (wrt other users)15:38
utusanAdys, ok15:38
Adyslong story short it's useless15:38
utusanAdys, exactly.. there are so many stuff being tied up. so hard to trim off things that are not needed15:40
BluesKajAdys, gtk isn't where i wan to go .. KDE 4.7.1. will be released next week , Ill wait15:40
Adysutusan: Ya, even kde is becoming pretty bloated lately. I started compiling kde and disabling all the soprano and other semantic desktop BS, runs much much better since15:41
utusanI mostly use kubuntu but have been exploring gnome-shell this cycle15:41
Adyskdelibs needs a --disable-buzzwords15:41
utusanAdys, yeah.. especially that nepomuk/akonadi crap15:42
AdysYa, i got all that disabled15:42
Adyshttp://dpaste.com/608173/15:42
utusandisabling is not enough.  there is always that akonadi server feeder for kontact/korganizer running15:43
utusanso I just moved the bin's out15:43
Adysdisabling at compile time is enough15:43
utusanlucky you but I haven't got the time to compile yet15:43
utusanmaybve if it get's worse15:43
Adysthe main problem of compiling is, if you compile kde, you can't get kde apps from the repo anymore, you'll have to compile those too15:44
Adysit doesnt bother me because i use very few kde-dependent apps15:44
Adysit did take me a few hours to get it all running, but it was worth it; i dont have to deal with tons of stupid dependencies anymore and i can update to latest whenever i want15:45
utusanAdys, did you get the src direct or from kubuntu15:45
Adysdirect from kde's git15:46
utusanAdys, I have been looking at techbase but seems the instruct are kind of outdated15:46
Adysyeah they are15:46
Adysi can help you if you want15:46
Adysbut in pm, not in this chan15:46
utusanAdys, thanks but sometimes. any links would be appreciated15:47
Adyshttp://projects.kde.org/projects15:47
Adysgit repos are under the format git://anongit.kde.org/kdelibs15:48
utusanty..15:48
utusanI might look into that15:48
Adysyou'll want attica, automoc and phonon as dependencies, and kde is kdelibs, kde-runtime and kde-baseapps15:48
Adysto build: cd kdelibs; mkdir build; cd build; cmake ..; make15:49
utusanwhich DE you use? kdevelop15:49
* penguin42 thinks he has just amanged to do a full KDE build actually - using kdesrc-build15:49
AdysIDE you mean?15:49
utusanyes15:49
Adyskdevelop, but i dont use any to compile kde15:50
utusanjust konsole?  I wanted to tweak dolphin bec any invalid links doesn't get refreshed15:50
Adysum, i just use kate to edit text files if thats what you mean15:51
Adysi dont tweak kde15:51
Adyscmake -L presents you with a list of modifiable compile-time variables15:51
utusandolphin annoys me bec I have to do a reload in order to read now-valid links15:52
Adysyou wont be able to fix that one easily15:52
utusanwhy not?  just add a call to reload whenever you open a folder?15:53
Adyshuh?15:53
utusanin the code of course15:53
Adyswhat's your issue exactly?15:53
utusanI have links to partition that are not mounted.  however, when mounted they are still invalid15:54
Adyseven if you refresh?15:55
utusanIf I open the folder it should refresh but it won't until I reload (F5)15:56
Adysnever had that issue15:56
utusanyou probably just didn't notice15:57
utusancreate a link to a partiton. unmount that partition and see that it's still valid15:58
utusansame thing the other way around15:58
lcbwhere's in the forum should i put the solution for VMware "Unable to build kernel module" "Failed to compile module vmmon!"?16:06
utusanAdys, did you start with a minimal ubuntu install? I'll prep a system and I might take you on the offer later in the pm?16:09
Adysutusan: this is a very old install; but i had the full kde suite installed16:09
Adysall your stuff should go in /usr/local either way, so it doesnt matter16:10
Adysi just compiled and installed everything, apt-get purged every trace of kde libs and restarted x16:10
utusanAdys, ok..will talk later if I get stuck16:10
Adyssure16:10
utusanwhich one gets compiled first? kdelibs16:11
Adyskdelibs, but youll run into the small attica, phonon and automoc dependencies16:11
utusanAdys, ok.. brb..got to do some errands16:11
lcbwhere should i post the solution for VMware "Unable to build kernel module" "Failed to compile module vmmon!"?16:18

jtaylorgpg --encrypt19:00

FernandoMiguelbut now it's all in the NAS so I don't care19:01
FernandoMiguelyeah, gpg is probably your best bet19:01
urlin2uBluesKaj, put the stuff on a thumb or usb and use truecrypt19:02

mikedep333is us.archive.ubuntu.com going really slow for anybody else?19:06
mikedep333it may be a performance issue on update-manager for me ATM19:07
rwwmikedep333: I've been noticing osuosl.org is slow recently, and that's one of the us.archive mirrors, so it's probably not just you.19:12
mikedep333rww, ok, thanks19:12

pdtpatrickHi .. The old way of installing themes no longer works. What's the new way? Do you have to manually install it in /usr/share ?19:31
nothingspecialError with apt-get E: The package adobeair needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.19:31
pdtpatricknothingspecial, go to adobe.com and then click on install flash .. they will give u a file for apt-get .. once you install that .. in software centre you will then be able to install adobeair19:32
pdtpatrickor u can just do sudo apt-get install adobeair19:32
nothingspecialpdtpatrick: ok, thanks19:32

chilicui1hi there, we're currently running an ugj, and most of our users have the same question, what's the default passwrd in the livecd?, they're running unity 3d but when logout to try unity2d the system ask him a passwrd19:41
rwwchilicui1: theoretically, username: ubuntu, blank password19:41
rwwpeople have issues with it every so often, though, I forget whether there's a resolution19:41
nothingspecialpdtpatrick: Thanks. All is now good19:42
chilicui1rww: ok, another issue, the boton 'restart' is not available19:42
urlin2uchilicui1, it is in the gui confirming.19:43

gnomiewhats the open source video driver..?20:03
mongyhow can I disable some of the startup apps, as it seems the startup applications app doesnt list any of them, like update manager, etc20:13
gnomiehm.. system settings seems to be mildly borked here20:15
gnomiethere it is.. found bug20:16
* gnomie stalks bug 20:17
trismmongy: they are all set to NoDisplay=true by default, but you can copy the one you want to edit from /etc/xdg/autostart to ~/.config/autostart and remove the NoDisplay line and it will show up in gnome-session-properties (I am unsure if there is an easier way to ignore the setting on all the files)20:19

Monotokohey guys...my computer seems to be having issues with oneiric, the mouse will sometimes just completely stop doing anything for 2-3 seconds...minor, but very annoying...what would cause it?20:23
Monotoko(4GB RAM and a dual core processor...so I should be able to handle it?)20:23
BluesKajMonotoko, check system monitor , something could be hogging cpu20:28
MonotokoBluesKaj, yeah...CPU1 keeps jumping up by about 30% when it happens20:29
Monotokohow do I find out which process?20:29
BluesKajMonotoko, 30% cpu load shouldn't cause a cursor lag20:34
MonotokoBluesKaj, it increases by 30%...so it gets to 50/60% for 2 secs20:35
BluesKajMonotoko, process table tab20:35
MonotokoBluesKaj, I've looked...nothing comes up as using 30% of the CPU in those 2 secs20:35
Monotokoit just jumped from 4% to 50%...lagged me...but still nothing came up in the processes :s20:36
x0rBluesKaj, do I need to burn a iso of the beat to install it, or can I just do some live update with the "get-apt instal/update" command20:44

kkduetry to set the scale plugin and append to an edge of the screen22:02
kkdueit won't work22:02
FernandoMigueldo you have unity plugin enable?22:04
FernandoMigueland what the heck did you just called me?22:04
robin0800FernandoMiguel, tab complete problem I think22:07
FernandoMiguelrobin ah22:09
mongysetting compiz stuff to an edge in 11.10 is much like 11.04, it works and then all of a sudden it doesn't, until you logout/login or set the bind again22:20
mongyI only now use edges because edge+buttons dont work since 11.04.22:21
DonaldShimodahi23:37

penguin42DonaldShimoda: Hey I can't read the future - I just moved my other machine to KDE4 instead23:39
jtayloruntil unity 2 or so comes along23:39
DonaldShimodajtaylor, people, theres really thinking unity is good? wake up!23:39
jtayloryes23:39
penguin42DonaldShimoda: I agree with you it's horrid; but people have been bitching on here about it for probably a year now and it's not changed much, so just switch to something else23:40
rwwyes, because Ubuntu forces you to use Unity and all.23:40
bazhangheh23:40
DonaldShimodapenguin42, im still have 10.04 LTS installed and wiork like a charm23:40
bazhangDonaldShimoda, then stay on it23:40
DonaldShimodamy fears come when this version go out of support23:40
DonaldShimodabazhang, i hope before 2013 somebody kill unity23:41
bazhangDonaldShimoda, not going to happen23:41
jtaylorwon't happen23:41
penguin42unfortunately I agree23:41
bazhangDonaldShimoda, you dont like unity, use something else. wishing for its death will do nothing23:42
DonaldShimodamaybe something better comes, be optimistic23:42
jtayloryes because thats so simple23:42
DonaldShimodabazhang, what other things?23:42
LynoureDonaldShimoda: better can come even without a project dying23:42
bazhangDonaldShimoda, all the other DE etc23:42
DonaldShimodaLynoure, agree, unity sucks on the ther hand23:42
jtaylorubuntu has lots of choice besides unity, gnome3, kde, xfce, lsomething23:43
LynoureDonaldShimoda: I would not know, I use KDE/Kubuntu23:43
DonaldShimodabazhang, name they23:43
bazhangDonaldShimoda, check your package manager23:43
DonaldShimodaLynoure, happens even gnome in 11.04 is SLOW23:43
LynoureDonaldShimoda: like I said, would not know.23:43
bazhangjtaylor, lxde + openbox = lubuntu23:43
DonaldShimodaseems like ubuntu effort os all over unity23:43
LynoureDonaldShimoda: I don't use gnome, I use KDE23:43
jtaylorthx, meant that23:43
DonaldShimodai like gnome, but becomes slow on new versions23:43
DonaldShimodaLynoure, i love gnome , sorry23:44
bazhangDonaldShimoda, gnome2 is gone. time to move on23:44
DonaldShimodaok, just to check, i see nobody likes unity, who promote iot for start!!!!!23:44
DonaldShimodai dont get it23:44
DonaldShimodabazhang, why?23:44
DonaldShimodawhere gfone?23:44
jtaylorquite a few do like it, and those that don't simple use something else23:44
jtaylorso stop whining23:45
bazhangDonaldShimoda, file a wishlist bug then. this is not the place to rant about hating unity23:45
* Lynoure refuses to be anecdotal evidence for 'everybody'23:45
DonaldShimodawell, is a free place so i free to say: i hat unity, horrible UI23:45
DonaldShimodanow im going out23:46
DonaldShimodathanks people,i feel free23:46
DonaldShimodabye!23:46
bazhang...23:46
* rww rolls eyes23:46
Lynoureyet all show no part.23:46
penguin42hmm there really should be somewhere that people can say what they think about Unity - I know this isn't the place but it feels like there should be someone listening somewhere23:49
jtaylorbrainstorm?23:50
penguin42I've never actually looked around there23:50
bazhang /dev/null23:51
DonaldShimodapenguin42, say with me!23:51
bazhangDonaldShimoda, lets move on please. this is not the place23:52
