[00:26] <smspillaz> cwillu: wait till the next sru
[00:34] <smspillaz> cwillu: there's fixes distributed in several different packages, we don't want to reset the compiz timer over pushing new stuff which will block other fixes from happening
[03:13] <axisys> how do I enable the wobbly windows?
[03:19] <cwillu> axisys, install compizconfig-settings-manager, run ccsm and enable it.  (warning, ccsm is behaving a bit odd right now)
[03:25]  * cwillu looks at smspillaz suspiciously
[03:33] <axisys> any idea how to modify the login screen so usernames are not showing
[03:34] <axisys> have been searching in askubuntu and found nothing
[03:53] <jbicha> axisys: you mean how to hide all usernames so you have to login as other?
[03:53] <axisys> jbicha: i think so..
[03:54] <axisys> jbicha: i find it security risk to display the valid users
[03:54] <jbicha> one way is to try raising the minimum uid in /etc/lightdm/users.conf
[03:55] <axisys> so ..logout to verify ?
[03:55] <axisys> jbicha: ^
[03:56] <jbicha> it might require restarting lightdm
[04:04] <axisys> that did not work.. restarted lightdm, which is like logout..
[04:04] <axisys> and then rebooted
[04:05] <axisys> still showing user lists
[04:05] <axisys> i changed the minimum number to pretty high, 5000
[04:06] <jbicha> I don't know, if it still doesn't work after rebooting I'd file a bug against lightdm for that
[04:07] <Takyoji> Are there still issues with Unity and a multi-monitor setup with separate X screens?
[04:08] <Takyoji> Because X screen 1 is blank white for me, unless if anyone has ideas, or if I should file/search for a bug
[04:18] <Takyoji> because this wasn't even present in 11.04 last I recall. I can move my cursor over to the other monitor, which turns the cursor to an X
[04:20] <Takyoji> So it's not a graphics driver issue at all
[04:20] <Takyoji> from my understanding
[04:21] <Takyoji> Unless if at least a single person out of 70 has an idea.
[08:38] <arpu> hello
[08:40] <arpu> i have a regrission for 11.10 can somebody confirm this? http://streamtivi.com/ click right on an channel flash player opens and show the peer assitent pop up and the allow is not pressable
[08:40] <arpu> maybe an unity bug smspillaz :> ?
[08:40] <arpu> works on lucid lts
[08:51] <arpu> wrong channel?
[09:29] <arpu> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/874897 i create a bug report
[10:30] <cwillu> smspillaz, just a further remark;  if I set /sys/modules/usbhid/parameters/mousepoll to 20, the synchronous mode moves are at least useable (i.e., the screen continues to update including the moved window at about 10-15 fps, rather than not updating at all until I stop moving the mouse)
[12:03] <neo84> Hi all
[12:04] <neo84> cwillu: despite of our efforts still issue not fixed
[12:06] <cwillu> neo84, the general solution is to make a new user, test that it works, and then copy changes into it (being careful to suitably maintain ownership on the files) until it breaks again;  at that point, you know precisely what broke it
[12:06] <cwillu> it'll be something along the lines of those config files though
[12:06] <neo84> ok. I am creating a new user and will try to log in for that
[12:07] <neo84> creating user via users & groups will do right
[12:08] <cwillu> should, yes.
[12:08] <cwillu> might be convenient to make it an admin user
[12:08] <neo84> ok
[12:18] <neo84> cwillu : that worked like charmed, new user have no issues, which configuration files I should copy
[12:18] <cwillu> neo84, if I knew that, you wouldn't have needed to make the new user :p
[12:19] <cwillu> I'd start with pieces of .config, .local/share/ and .gconf/, and go from there
[12:19] <neo84> ok
[12:19] <cwillu> (copy into the new user, don't modify the original)
[12:19] <neo84> got it :)
[12:19] <cwillu> once you've figured out what the problem is, you should be able to make the precise change to your existing user
[12:19] <cwillu> ... without erasing any data or other settings
[12:21] <neo84> sure
[12:21] <neo84> I am on it
[12:22] <neo84> I just need to copy compiz-1 or compizeconfig-1 as well
[12:34] <neo84> cwillu : copied from all locations , now what nex
[12:35] <cwillu> is it broken?
[12:35] <cwillu> (make sure to at log out and back in, otherwise you're not testing anything)
[12:38] <neo84> ohh ok
[12:52] <neo84> cwillu: you rock, it fixed my issue. I did identified that compize-1 folder had some issues
[12:52] <neo84> afer copying that it got fixed
[12:53] <cwillu> compize-1 or compiz-1?
[12:53] <neo84> compiz-1 ( you know I am champion in spell mistake :) )
[12:53] <cwillu> neo84, indeed.
[12:53] <cwillu> especially since I seem to recall giving you some specific instructions regarding that particular folder :p
[12:54] <neo84> yes :)
[12:54] <neo84> but it was really nice to have you on this channel, you made my day
[13:51] <htorque> cwillu: i think i can confirm your window move thing
[13:52] <cwillu> htorque, yeah, it's known breakage\
[13:52] <htorque> ah, ok. would you look up the bug number for me?
[13:52] <cwillu> re: DBO before, I think he just wasn't as up to date as smspillaz
[13:53] <htorque> maybe because he was sleeping - that's what you get for fixing a bug :P
[13:53] <cwillu> htorque, I believe the bug report consists of a bunch of FIXME's in the source :p
[13:54] <htorque> heh, k. :-)
[13:55] <cwillu> I think it's worse in my case because of the unnecessarily fancy mouse I use
[13:55] <cwillu> it appears to send enough events that compiz or x never actually catches up if things are running synchronously
[13:56] <cwillu> slowing things down as mentioned above results in an acceptably useable desktop, although it's still rendering much slower than it used to (which is the fixme)
[13:57] <cwillu> the suggestion to wait and see the next sru before getting too worked up seems fine
[13:57] <htorque> i get it from time to time. if i move the mouse to fast, only the pointer moves. if i move it slower, the window updates only every X ms.
[13:57] <cwillu> (given the mouse workaround)
[13:57] <cwillu> yep
[13:57] <htorque> pretty jumpy.
[13:59] <cwillu> root@cwillu-net:/sys/module/usbhid/parameters$ echo 20 > mousepoll followed by replugging the mouse is what made things useable
[13:59] <cwillu> may require actually unloading the module though, depending on... things.
[14:00] <cwillu> hmm
[14:00] <cwillu> having re-read that, that doesn't make any sense
[14:00]  * cwillu checks if the value is still set
[14:00] <cwillu> huh, it is
[14:00] <cwillu> which is right, of course
[14:00] <cwillu> just... odd.
[15:39] <Devil505> hi nmarques
[15:47] <nmarques>      I'm having some problems (http://susepaste.org/8221184) building dconf-qt, anyone has a ideia on whatmight be happening ?
[16:49] <Devil505> nmarques, you need to patch QT4
[16:51] <nmarques> Devil505, I've seen it already
[16:51] <nmarques> it's rebuilding for like 45 mins
[16:51] <Devil505> ok
[16:51] <Devil505> good luck then
[16:52] <Devil505> I give up with ayatana
[16:52] <nmarques> why ?
[16:52] <nmarques> I haven't given up really because Unity 2D works
[16:52] <Devil505> too much complicated with all these patches
[16:52] <nmarques> and my last stuff is somehow working though compiz is segfaulting but this might be related to something else
[16:53] <nmarques> Devil505, it's a good thing to learn :)
[16:53] <nmarques> Devil505, thats why I keep doing it, but changed my philosophy
[16:53] <nmarques> Devil505, it's just like a combat situation, no promises
[16:53] <nmarques> :)
[16:53] <Devil505> but patching it's not our philosophy (Frugalware dev team)
[16:54] <nmarques> not SUSE's also
[16:54] <nmarques> but now I have full control of the repository
[16:54] <nmarques> which makes things faster and I can follow my own rules :)
[16:55] <nmarques> zypper is potent enough to allow me to control the whole install process and replace any packages I want, so it's not really a big issue
[16:55] <Devil505> so untill ubuntu patches are not in upstream, porting ayatana will be too much complicated
[16:55] <nmarques> the 11.4 experiments have worked out well for users
[16:55] <nmarques> Devil505, that's pressure you should exercise on upstream :)
[16:55] <nmarques> Devil505, but yeah, I know the feeling
[16:56] <Devil505> well this pressure mus be done by canonical team not me :p
[16:57] <nmarques> should be done by everyone
[16:57] <nmarques> because not having some patches upstreamed is a limitation to downstreamers
[16:57] <nmarques> but I've left politics and I'm starting a new job on monday
[16:58] <nmarques> everything is Red Hat there, so, my time for SUSE is also going to diminuish a lot
[16:58] <nmarques> I'm going probably to shift over contributions to Fedora as it will somehow help me with work stuff
[16:59] <Devil505> fedora is a good distro
[17:00] <nmarques> yeah, but I'm not going GNOME3 or KDE :)
[17:00] <nmarques> I'm returning to Fluxbox now that I've fixed most of the stuff to work with GTK/GNOME3 apps
[17:00] <nmarques> to be honest, the only graphical applications I need is a browser and urxvt
[17:01] <nmarques> looks like QT4 is finishing building :)
[17:01] <nmarques> back to dconf-qt and check if I can still push Unity 2D to openSUSE 12.1
[17:16] <Devil505> :)
[17:17] <Devil505> nmarques, I'm the maintainer of XFCE for Frugalware now :)
[17:21] <nmarques> nice
[17:21] <nmarques> simple question
[17:21] <nmarques> have you ever launched Unity 4.0 on frugal ?
[17:56]  * hyperair pokes smspillaz. is there a way to bring back my shiny blue top left corner in unity? i kinda liked it. it was much easier to notice than the little blue indicators
[18:40] <chrone> hello all
[18:41] <chrone> is there any working project to reduce the default font and ui size? it's bigger than other popular oses and really taking screen real estate :(
[18:52] <jbicha> chrone: simple config is possible in System Settings>Universal Access, for more fine-tuned control try gnome-tweak-tool
[19:03] <chrone> i'll give it a try
[19:13] <chrone> thanks dude for the tips
[19:13] <chrone> it's too small though
[19:13] <chrone> and is there any change to reduce the shortcut preview when first opening dash?
[19:34] <chrone> thanks again, i'm off to bed
[19:34] <chrone> later folks
