broderchrisccoulson: did you ever make any progress on that dell/fn-f7 weirdness?01:08
broderi'm seeing two things that are weird: (1) i see a keypress event come in whenever i dock or undock from *two* devices, the "Video Bus" and the "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard". (2) if i use input-events, both keypresses seem to come in when i dock/undock, but the one from the actual keyboard only gets seen by g-s-d the first time i press another key01:11
broderi can't figure out what would be holding up the keypress event from getting to g-s-d01:11
broderoh, hmm, i guess chrisccoulson is in EU. maybe tomorrow01:12

vvvCould anyone point me to the reason why Emerald was removed from 11.10? (or at least tell where to seek the answer)14:57

BinaryManwhat am I supposed to do with the files created by  bzr branch lp:~gnome3-team/gnome-control-center/ubuntu ?16:23
dobeyBinaryMan: well, for what purpose did you branch it?16:25
BinaryManRecent revisions16:26
BinaryMan + re-enable "System Settings" on session menu16:26
BinaryMandobey16:26
dobeyis the package not in the gnome3-team PPA?16:27
BinaryMandobey: when I went to install that, I got a very specific message that it could break things.16:29
BinaryManerrr16:29
BinaryManadd the PPA16:30
BinaryManinstall is not the right word.16:30
dobeyyes, the gnome3 PPA could break things (any change really, *could* break something)16:30
dobeyit's a PPA for testing, for a reason16:30
dobeyif you build the same package locally, you're not going to avoid breakage16:31
dobeyif there is any breakage, that is16:31
BinaryMandobey: but won't everything in that PPA be available to me?16:34
dobeyif you add the PPA, yes16:34
BinaryManI just want to upgrade gnome-control-center16:34
BinaryManNothing else.16:34
dobeybut if you want only specific .debs, you can also download only those files, off the launchpad page for the PPA16:34
BinaryMan:/16:35
BinaryManI knew that.16:35

geservvv: emerald got removed because it failed to build in oneiric (bug #831111)17:50
ubot2Launchpad bug 831111 in emerald "emerald version 0.8.8-0ubuntu1 failed to build in oneiric" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/83111117:50
vvvgeser: 0.9.4 has no problems with the compiz version included in oneiric and it has been around since April17:52
geserthen it looks like nobody was interested enough to update the package to 0.9.4 (which would probably also fix this build failure)17:53
vvvgeser: what should I do so it is restored in next Ubuntu release?17:56
geserunlikely unless someone steps up to maintain it (update the package regularly)17:57
vvvMay I volunteer? Where can I sign up and read procedures, etc?17:58
geservvv: sure, a good starting place in this case might be https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages18:01
geserfeel free to ask any questions you might have (#ubuntu-motu might be better suited than this channel depending on the topic of your question)18:01
vvvThanks18:02
geseralthough the package got removed from the archives, the old version is still available through Launchpad, so you might use it for a starting point18:03

TheMusoRAOF: How much video RAM can the intel GPU use from system RAM? I've got a monitor connected to my thinkpad via a displayport to VGA adapter. The monitor supports 1920x1080, but can only get 1600x900 resolution.23:08
TheMusoThe VGA adapter is in use because its connected via KVM, and the KVM can handle the max res of the monitor.23:08
RAOFTheMuso: The intel GPU can use ALL THE RAM!!!!  More likely the problem is that the DisplayPort?VGA adapter only supports 2 DP lanes, and that's not technically enough bandwidth to drive a 1920x1080 display.23:10
TheMusoAh ok.23:10
TheMusoWhats annoying is that the thinkpad has a VGA port, but it doesn't appear to be usable with the intel GPU.23:11
TheMusoI suspect I have to use the NVIDIA GPU to use that port.23:11
RAOFmid.gmane.org/1318278815-31492-1-git-send-email-ajax@redhat.com says hello.23:12
RAOF(A patch to automatically fall back to dithered 6bpp on such adapters)23:13
TheMusoah ok23:13
RAOFI'm surprised that only the nVidia card is hooked up to the VGA.  That's not something I've seen before :)23:13
TheMusoI think that is what was the case, I can't remember whether I connected it post reboot or not, I think I did, but I'll need to check again to be sure.23:14
TheMusoWell it could just be a driver bug/missing functionality somewhere...23:15
TheMusoLet me finish these merges, and I'll change things over and try again.23:15
RAOFNo!  Surely not!  Driver bugs are totally unheard of!23:15
