xannenomg 11.10 won't release for another day!  :(04:55
sagaciyeah05:30
sagaciCanonical should move to an in-the-future timezone05:30
xannenhi sagaci <305:45
airtonix<3 is pretty awesome07:26
airtonixgnome-shell that is 07:26
gggsI don't know, this might sound like blasphemy, but I think I'll either stick with 11.04 or move to Xubuntu07:50
blahdeblahgggs: My blasphemy is that i'll move back to Debian and sit on GNOME 2 for as long as they support it ;-)07:51
gggsblahdeblah: Nice to know I'm not alone, I'm a focus-follows-mouse, window shading, oldschool-X kindof person myself07:52
blahdeblahI never said that! :-)07:53
airtonixi'm a "wish i could customise my desktop-environ without compiling C code" kinda guy07:53
gggsblahdeblah: I meant `staying with gnome2 or similar'07:54
blahdeblahgggs: I hate focus-follows-mouse, and i never use window shading.  I use a GNOME 2 that's vanilla other than replacing their window manager with icewm.  I just love the full control over keyboard shortcuts it provides.07:54
gggsblahdeblah: I even use focus-follows-mouse (aka `sloppy focus') on Windows! Multiple desktops + winshading means the whole alt+tab behaviour is a non-issue. I'm curious though, what sortof keyboard shortcuts are you talking about?07:58
blahdeblahI use 12 virtual workspaces.  I keep fixed applications in each by convention.  I switch between them frequently.  Icewm provides hotkeys for forward, back, most recent, and arbitrary numbered workspaces.08:00
blahdeblahSo i map win+# keys to all of them08:00
gggsblahdeblah: I've setup Compiz in a similar fashion with super+left/right and super+LMB/RMB08:02
gggs12 workspaces is a fair bit though08:06
blahdeblahright now, 2 of them are empty08:11
blahdeblahBut i try to keep my work separated out 08:11
gggs10 windows is a lot of seperation08:22
gggsalthough I do have a dual-monitor setup, so it's probably about the same08:23
sagacihead_victim: https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric -- just reached the goal in time08:25
gggssagaci: damn, you've been busy08:27
sagaci<21% to go for the precise cycle08:27
gggsWhat does "79,942 untranslated" mean?08:30
gggsis that words, files, lines...?08:32
sagacistrings08:33
gggssagaci: so... you've translated 380,986 strings already?08:34
sagacithe no, we've collectively translated around 300,00008:35
gggswow, good work08:35
sagacistill that ~79,000 to go and then we'll scape out the errors people have made :)08:36
sagaciscrape08:36
gggsHey being part of the Australian Ubuntu team, can you modify the en_AU locale and submit changes?08:41
xannenZZZZZZZZZ 20 hours till 11.10 :(08:43
sagacigggs: you need to join the team and be approved, which is easily done08:44
sagacixannen: it'll likely be release when we're asleep around 4am in the morning08:45
gggsgnome-clock showed Sunday as the first day of the week, modifying one line in en_AU fixed it, but some dude I forget the name of said I'd need some sortof official standard or document to change it08:45
head_victimgggs: depends on what you mean by locale though.08:45
head_victimtimezones are a whole other kettle of fish08:46
xannenI'm an ubuntu-au asylum seeker, process me, not in malaysia. :D08:46
sagacihonestly, I'd like the date to display as 13th October, 201108:46
sagacirather than the US October 13, 201108:46
xannenI have us-en locale too.  i'm over it.  :(08:47
head_victimhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/langpack-locales/+bug/19250708:47
lubotu2Launchpad bug 192507 in langpack-locales (Ubuntu) "en_AU locale: first day of week incorrect" [Low,Fix released]08:47
head_victimThat's an old one but the same issue08:47
head_victimBasically we can't collectively decide08:47
head_victimhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/langpack-locales is where to report any bugs you think need fixing though08:49
xannenhehe...  shuttleworth boarded US spaceship didn't he?  :P08:49
gggsyea that's the issue I ran into, but I've never met anyone that thought Sunday was the first day of the week08:50
xannenHi head_victim, btw <308:50
head_victimhttp://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/htdocs/DateTime-Locale/DateTime/Locale/en_AU.html looks like the most comprehensive list of info on the topic08:50
head_victimGday xannen 08:51
head_victimsagaci: doesn't it display the right date format when using en_AU?08:52
head_victimHmm, so it doesn't. That definitely is a bug.08:52
gggshead_victim: would that doc be enough to convince the committers upstream?08:53
head_victimgggs: not sure, worth a try?08:53
sagaciyeah, I tried tweak it but didn't have time at the time to file/struggle with it08:54
gggshead_victim: maybe, what do we have to do?08:56
head_victimgggs: I'd submit a bug against that package08:59
gggshead_victim: but it was marked wontfix09:08
head_victimgggs: yeah that was 3 years ago as well though09:09
cretsiahhi any1 know how to fix right click in firefox on ubuntu?09:09
head_victimIf you can point to a credible source that states it is "X" and the locale is set to "Y" I'm sure you'll get it sorted. Just need a good reason09:09
head_victimcretsiah: depends on what you've done to make it not work?09:09
gggsit's surprising that an entire continent of Ubuntu users either haven't noticed or haven't attempted to fix it09:10
cretsiahlol gggs, unfortunetly I dont what has happened, as my kid was using it at the time, he is claiming he was only watching youtube09:11
gggscretsiah: hah, I was talking about something else09:13
gggscretsiah: what sortof mouse is it09:13
cretsiahlogitech scroll-wheel mouse09:18
cretsiahit was fine 3 days ago...09:19
cretsiahhe also managed to remove all the desktop icons 09:19
gggscretsiah: heh, you need to setup another user account next time, Linux is designed for multi-users09:21
gggswhen did you reboot it last?09:21
cretsiahhe has his own account, however kids being kids my account was in use at the time, and no rebooting didnt help..09:22
airtonixcretsiah: i assume you tried restarting nautilus with : nautilus -q09:22
airtonixcretsiah: and which version of ubuntu ? 09:23
=== Johnny_Giggles_ is now known as Johnny_Giggles
cretsiahubuntu 11.04 running xfce, 09:28
cretsiahno i havent tried restarting nautilus09:29
sagaciwow great, it's already synced on aarnet11:05
xannenwhat's sync on aarnet?11:17
sagaci11.10 isos are on aarnet11:17
sagacifor unmetered for bigpond11:18
xannenoh wow already?11:19
gggssagaci: hey, you're right: 62fb5d750c30a27a26d01c5f3d8df459 *ubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64.iso11:19
xannenaccording to: http://http://thisisthecountdown.com/ it's release in 6 hours ish11:20
gggshmm, "ubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64.iso - 12-Oct-2011 15:14  697M" <- yesterday?11:21
sagaciyeah, it's the real deal11:21
sagaciit wouldn't be labelled ubuntu-11.10-desktop.amd64.iso otherwise :)11:22
xannenhmm... but on the ubuntu.com it's now on there yet?11:22
sagacitakes time for all mirrors to sync, they don't start pushing the isos out on release day11:22
xannenso... what does that mean?11:22
sagacixannen, they're waiting for the international mirrors to pick it up11:22
xannencan you post me link for aarnet?  :D11:23
gggshttp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/ubuntu/releases/11.10/11:23
head_victimsagaci: that's good news, means I'm syncing it now11:24
xannenty gggs.  what's diff between alternate vs desktop?11:24
sagacidesktop is a desktop install whereas alternate is a text based install11:25
xannenah ty sagaci.   i'm such a noob <311:25
sagacior alternate can be used as an upgrade mediumm11:25
sagacidesktop cannot11:25
xannenis the iso supposed to be for dvd right?11:29
xannenalso, what's the zsync?  o.O11:31
sagaciyou can keep updating the file without needing to redownload the whole thing11:33
sagaciwith a final iso, it shouldn't be necessary, if you're on a linux system just wget the iso11:33
xannenty sagaci.  back to the iso, 'cause the size is close to 700MB, so it has to be on a dvd eh?11:34
sagacino, CD11:35
sagacithey've made it so it's CD size so it's compatible with older/more computers11:35
xannenokay...  i heard they were goin to release a dvd iso?  is that later?11:35
sagacibut I prefer to install via USB anyway11:35
sagaciyeah, a bit later11:35
xannenyou mention to get the iso via wget/web, is it just as faster compared torrent?  just curious, 'cause i thought torrent might be faster?11:36
xanneni'm dl-ing at about 230kbps now.11:37
sagaciyeah, torrent may be quicker11:37
sagacibut aarnet for me is unmetered so I don't mind how quick it comes down, I'm probably not installing it tonight11:38
xannenit's interesting to see desktop iso was out on 12 oct, 3pm ish.11:44
xanneni could have got it yesterday. :(11:44
gggsyou download the torrent and you're using bandwidth, you download the iso and you're using unmetered bandwidth (if you're with Bigpond)11:47
gggss/bandwidth/`download quota'/g11:47
sagaciyeah, that's why I generally don't do torrents11:48
sagacigoing to go see how well it fares on the old P411:50
head_victimNo promises that's the official release11:53
gggshead_victim: would there be any sha1 hashes/gpg sigs from Ubuntu yet?11:53
head_victimgggs: nope, not until official release11:53
head_victimWho says they won't respin it11:53
gggshead_victim: true; xannen: I'd probably check it when hashes are released just in case11:53
head_victimsagaci: Lubuntu will be fine, I would hate to think how gnome or kde would go11:54
head_victimXFCE is just as heavy as gnome in my recent experience.11:54
sagacihead_victim: due to that critical release bug, eh :)11:57
sagaciubuntu booted without flicker on the P4, that's an improvement, going to install now11:57
sagacixannen: fyi, iinet host their own repo, don't know if it'd be unmetered but it's not updated yet to the final anyhow12:04
xannensagaci, yeah, i know they have their own ftp for linux.  :D  and it's not updated, i checked there.12:08
sagaciinstall went fine :)12:11
sagaciseeya on oneiric :12:17
sagaci:)12:17
sagacihead_victim, well xchat translations didn't make it12:20
sagacibut on the flipside, the chromium browser is en_AU friendly :)12:34
airtonixye gawds. chrome title bar is five foot high12:41
airtonixhttp://i.imgur.com/ODkYY.png12:42
sagaciairtonix, not getting that on chromium12:46
airtonixsagaci: it was a freak instance12:46
airtonixa restart of chromium fixed it12:46
ikthappy 11.10 everybody :)14:39
iktheya ejat :)15:52
kaushalHi22:47
kaushalI need help on pastebinit22:47
kaushalcat glassfish0 | pastebinit -b http://sprunge.us -t [glassfish0] -> this does not set title22:47
kaushalAny clue ?22:47
gorillakaushal: I belive that the problem could be the square brackets [ & ]. Apart from that you could try experimentign with what does work and what doesn't and report a possible bug.23:08
* gorilla hasn't used pastbinint but has taken a stab at it.23:08
