| bjsnider | hyperair, let me help with that banshee bug | 02:53 |
|---|---|---|
| bjsnider | i do use gnome-shell | 02:53 |
| hyperair | bjsnider: ooh nice. thanks. | 02:53 |
| bjsnider | and i have seen the plugin display as notify-sharp | 02:53 |
| bjsnider | is that what it should do? | 02:54 |
| hyperair | it's not. | 02:54 |
| hyperair | i'd like to see if i can just blank out the app_name field | 02:54 |
| bjsnider | i just turned it on and it calls itself banshee | 02:54 |
| bjsnider | are you sure this is still an active bug? that was submitted against alpha 3 | 02:56 |
| hyperair | eh? | 02:59 |
| hyperair | O_o | 02:59 |
| hyperair | it calls itself banshee now? | 02:59 |
| hyperair | could it be that gnome shell doesn't use the app_name but uses the actual sending application's process name now? | 03:00 |
| bjsnider | what's the keyboard shortcut to advance to the next song? | 03:02 |
| hyperair | um XF86AudioNext? | 03:02 |
| hyperair | or something | 03:03 |
| hyperair | do you have a next track key? | 03:03 |
| hyperair | otherwise you can configure it in keyboard shortcuts | 03:03 |
| hyperair | or you can run in a terminal banshee --next | 03:03 |
| bjsnider | no | 03:03 |
| bjsnider | hold on a minute | 03:04 |
| bjsnider | oh, yeah it's still there | 03:04 |
| bjsnider | i tried the steps in comment 2 and it still changes to notify-sharp | 03:05 |
| bjsnider | if i click on that, a new icon appears called banshee | 03:05 |
| bjsnider | both icons have banshee's logo | 03:06 |
| hyperair | i see | 03:06 |
| bjsnider | also, there's a problem with the notification that appears when a new song is played. the markup tags, which look like html, are shown | 03:06 |
| hyperair | hmm | 03:07 |
| hyperair | that's a separate bug that's already fixed in the daily packages | 03:07 |
| bjsnider | in short, it's a disaster | 03:07 |
| bjsnider | ok, not really | 03:07 |
| bjsnider | cool | 03:07 |
| hyperair | heh | 03:07 |
| bjsnider | if i click on the new banshee icon, it tells my what song is playing, and then below that it says the song by the artist is ready | 03:08 |
| hyperair | new banshee icon? | 03:08 |
| hyperair | what new banshee icon? | 03:08 |
| bjsnider | the one i mentioned above | 03:08 |
| hyperair | O_o | 03:09 |
| bjsnider | that appeared when i clicked on the notify-sharp icon | 03:09 |
| hyperair | hmm | 03:09 |
| * hyperair has no idea what gnome shell is doing | 03:10 | |
| hyperair | or what it's supposed to be diong | 03:10 |
| bjsnider | if i right-click on the notify-sharp icon, it gives me a bunch of banshee controls. if i right-click ont he banshee icon it gives me a gnome-shell type open/remove | 03:10 |
| * hyperair is confused | 03:10 | |
| hyperair | screenshots might be helpful | 03:11 |
| bjsnider | ok, i will upload them to that bug | 03:11 |
| hyperair | thanks | 03:11 |
| bjsnider | hyperair, that's not working. i can't take screenshots of the notification icons. nothing is displayed in the shots | 03:22 |
| hyperair | bjsnider: hmm, really? maybe you could try using scrot instead | 03:22 |
| hyperair | with a timeout | 03:22 |
| hyperair | or something | 03:22 |
| hyperair | worst case scenario -- get a camera. =p | 03:23 |
| bjsnider | hyperair, they're posted | 03:33 |
| hyperair | hmm okay thanks | 03:35 |
| bjsnider | now, on the second icon, if i select "remove" gnome-shell crashes and restarts | 03:37 |
| hyperair | heh | 03:37 |
| bjsnider | i obviously have this plugin disabled most of the time | 03:38 |
| hyperair | plugin? you mean the notification thing is a plugin? | 03:40 |
| hyperair | hmm | 03:40 |
| bjsnider | yeah | 03:41 |
| hyperair | i see | 03:42 |
| bjsnider | well, it's an "extension" | 03:45 |
| hyperair | heh | 03:59 |
| hyperair | aha. i think i've fixed it. | 04:05 |
| hyperair | http://people.ubuntu.com/~hyperair/libnotify0.4-cil_0.4.0~r3032-4_all.deb | 04:07 |
| hyperair | bjsnider: can you install that, restart banshee and see if it fixes the issue? | 04:07 |
| bjsnider | hyperair, i will do so and get back to you tomorrow. it is time i get some sleep | 04:09 |
| hyperair | alright, good night. thanks for your help =) | 04:11 |

| ricotz | tseliot, hello | 09:43 |
| tseliot | hi ricotz | 09:43 |
| ricotz | tseliot, do you have time to upload a newer nvidia version to precise? | 09:44 |
| ricotz | like 290.03 | 09:44 |
| tseliot | ricotz: maybe 285.05.09? 290.03 is a beta release | 09:45 |
| ricotz | i guess 290.03 would be better | 09:46 |
| ricotz | since precise is pre-alpha | 09:46 |
| ricotz | tseliot, you can take this one https://edge.launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa/+sourcepub/2035792/+listing-archive-extra | 09:48 |
| tseliot | ricotz: I'm a bit uncomfortable about uploading closed experimental drivers. Especially since they can potentially fry your card | 09:48 |
| ricotz | they are not closed | 09:49 |
| tseliot | ricotz: closed as in proprietary | 09:49 |
| ricotz | but if you arent comfortable 285.05.09 would be nice too | 09:49 |
| ricotz | tseliot, ok, i thought you meant "not public released" | 09:50 |
| tseliot | ricotz: 285.05.09 is something I can upload to Precise and Oneiric (only nvidia-current-updates) | 09:50 |
| ricotz | tseliot, that would be great | 09:51 |
| tseliot | ricotz: I need to fglrx first though (LP: #855943) | 09:51 |
| ricotz | tseliot, no problem, thanks! | 09:51 |
| tseliot | yw | 09:51 |

| bjsnider | hyperair, yes, that fixed the problem | 13:20 |
| hyperair | bjsnider: awesome =) | 13:32 |
| bjsnider | hyperair, what was the problem? | 13:34 |
| hyperair | bjsnider: chained constructors in C#. | 13:34 |
| bjsnider | that's what i get for asking | 13:35 |
| hyperair | notify-sharp attempted to get the app name by using something like GetCallingAssembly().GetName().Name | 13:35 |
| hyperair | or something like that | 13:35 |
| hyperair | but because the constructor was chained... that call ended up yielding the notify-sharp.dll assembly rather than the application assembly | 13:35 |
| hyperair | changing this to GetEntryAssembly (i.e. the assembly the program started from) fixed the issue | 13:35 |
| bdmurray | are there any issues with RS880 [Radeon HD 4290]? | 15:08 |
| achiang | has anyone heard of a bug where moving your mouse to the left edge of the desktop causes the screen to go blank? this is unity in oneiric, with the nvidia driver | 16:58 |
| achiang | also, for an extra twist, synergy is running, and the 2nd machine is on the left | 16:58 |
| bjsnider | what's synergy? | 17:04 |
| achiang | it's like a virtual kvm | 17:06 |
| ricotz | bjsnider, if you were desperately waiting for these gconf fixes i have uploaded it now to my ppa | 17:07 |
| achiang | so you use one keyboard/mouse to control 2 separate machines | 17:07 |
| achiang | i don't actually know how it works though. does it run its own X server, jbrett? | 17:07 |
| bjsnider | ricotz, i applied the 4 patches and built an update locally a week ago | 17:08 |
| ricotz | bjsnider, ok ;) | 17:08 |
| bjsnider | achiang, can you test your system without synergy, just controlling one machine? | 17:08 |
| achiang | bjsnider: i'll ask the bug reporter to do that (i'm just a proxy) | 17:09 |
| achiang | thanks | 17:09 |
| jbrett | sorry, was having IRL conversation :) | 17:27 |
| jbrett | achiang, bjsnider: synergy is a daemon that grabs the keyboard/mouse events, and sends them over the network to a remote machine. Kind-of like a KVM. | 17:28 |
| jbrett | I use it on my laptop/workstation so I can use the same keyboard/mouse for both laptop and workstation. When my mouse hits the left side of the wkstation screen, synergy moves it and the keyboard focus to my laptop, then visa-versa when I leave the right side of the laptop screen. | 17:30 |
| jbrett | If I remove the laptop from synergy (so my mouse never "leaves" the screen), the problem goes away. | 17:31 |
| jbrett | the problem is when the mouse comes back to the wkstation screen (which is running oneric/unity), then the screen goes black for ~2-3sec. | 17:32 |
| achiang | can you turn off synergy? | 17:32 |
| achiang | and see if it still happens? | 17:32 |
| jbrett | yes, and I imagine the problem will go away. | 17:32 |
| jbrett | since my mouse will never disappear :) | 17:33 |
| jbrett | I'll do it, just a sec.. | 17:33 |
| jbrett | so yes, kill synergy, and problem goes away as expected.. | 17:34 |
| jbrett | with synergy running, but not connected to another synergy machine, problem also goes away (as expected) | 17:35 |
| Sarvatt | jbrett: try xset -dpms ? | 17:35 |
| jbrett | Sarvatt: ok, that made the problem go away, but I confess I have no clue why :) | 17:36 |
| Sarvatt | me neither, its a synergy bug and I dont use it :) | 17:37 |
| Sarvatt | putting your monitor in power savings mode when you go to the other pc | 17:37 |
| jbrett | hmm, ok. | 17:37 |
| Sarvatt | i just found the workaround via google http://synergy-foss.org/tracker/issues/2778 | 17:37 |
| * jbrett bows to awesome google-fu of Sarvatt :) | 17:38 | |
| Sarvatt | sounds like an old bug with synergy though thats been around for years :( | 17:39 |
| jbrett | anyway, thanks. I know there are a lot of changes around this area between maverick & oneric.. I'll try to track down a real fix. | 17:39 |
| Sarvatt | oh it worked properly in maverick? | 17:40 |
| jbrett | yes. | 17:40 |
| jbrett | I finally got off my curmudgeon-horse and decided I should give unity a fair try, so I upgraded my workstation. | 17:41 |
| Sarvatt | you dont get a lock screen or anything when you come back to the 11.10 screen do you? | 17:44 |
| jbrett | do, it just blanks for a couple seconds. | 17:44 |
| jbrett | er, s/do/no/ | 17:44 |
| jbrett | totally looks like a synergy bug though, as it apparently happens on windoze machines too, from that bug report.. | 17:47 |
| Sarvatt | maybe try downgrading synergy? | 17:50 |
| jbrett | yeah, it may come to that. Looks like it's a bug in newer versions of synergy (since the one that was in maverick). | 17:57 |
| jbrett | Sarvatt: thanks for your help and google-fu in any case :) | 17:57 |
| Sarvatt | yeah i'm seeing some screensaver dpms hacks in the diff between the packages | 17:59 |
| jbrett | looks like there's a fix, but not targetted until 1.4.6: http://synergy-foss.org/tracker/issues/696 | 18:04 |
| Sarvatt | - synergy-1.3.3-X11-DPMS.patch | 18:07 |
| Sarvatt | call DPMSOn() when entering screen to make sure powersaving mode is | 18:07 |
| Sarvatt | canceled on X11 client systems when the fake mouse / keyb become active | 18:07 |
| Sarvatt | ah hah | 18:07 |
| Sarvatt | nevermind, thats what actually caused the problem | 18:08 |
| Sarvatt | and was added in 1.3.3 | 18:08 |
| bjsnider | jbrett, are they too far apart or can you use a real kvm switch? | 18:21 |
| Sarvatt | bjsnider: kvm wouldn't be seamless as you move between monitors | 18:22 |
| bjsnider | no, it would require a couple seconds | 18:23 |
| jbrett | bjsnider: yeah, a kvm doesn't do the same thing. Using synergy is kinda like extending your desktop onto the other machine (except that you can't drag windows back & forth). | 18:58 |
| jbrett | but you can copy/paste, etc... It's really nice. | 18:58 |
| jbrett | turning off dpms works as a workaround for now. It looks like there's a fix upstream, although no release with the fix yet. | 18:59 |
| jbrett | http://synergy-foss.org/tracker/issues/696 | 18:59 |
| Sarvatt | jbrett: might want to do yourself a favor and try out xubuntu if you really want ffm, it's pretty much abandoned in gnome 3 and unity | 20:21 |
| tjaalton | nonsense | 20:21 |
| jbrett | wow, I hope not. | 20:21 |
| tjaalton | just disable the top-bar menu | 20:21 |
| jbrett | oh, you're responding to what I typed in #u-desktop? | 20:22 |
| Sarvatt | what it's usable now just getting rid of the global menu? | 20:22 |
| Sarvatt | ok I change that statement to just gnome3 :) | 20:22 |
| jbrett | yeah, I don't see any way to use ffm and the global menu. | 20:22 |
| tjaalton | though I've switched to fullscreen windows for the most part, but ffm works within the terminator window for instance | 20:22 |
| tjaalton | actually, you can hit ctrl or was it alt to "lock" the menu, and then navigate to it | 20:23 |
| tjaalton | or something like that | 20:23 |
| tjaalton | can't remember, it's mentioned on the bug | 20:23 |
| Sarvatt | I dont use it, just remember all the complaining about it being unusable in 11.04, guess they were just bugs that were fixed | 20:23 |
| tjaalton | bug 674138 | 20:23 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 674138 in unity (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) ""Global" appmenu breaks sloppy focus (affects: 79) (dups: 5) (heat: 418)" [Undecided,Won't fix] https://launchpad.net/bugs/674138 | 20:23 |
| Sarvatt | I like that bug :) "Maybe convincing MacOs developers to change their behavior/add a configuration option will do the trick? ;-)" | 20:27 |
| jbrett | heh. | 20:27 |
| jbrett | I'm trying really hard not to just disable stuff I dislike at first (like the GM), as I assume there was some thought and effort put into it, and once I get over the "this isn't the same as what I'm used to" stage, I might actually like it :) | 20:29 |
| mdeslaur | anybody got an issue in oneiric where all of a sudden the left mouse button stops working, but the right one still works? a couple of window switches, and it starts working again? | 21:12 |
