[00:24] <64MAA2DVH> I did a zerofill and a reformated a entire 1TB disk, but now, in ext2 partitions, I can't create a directory with dolphin ... msg is Access denied to /media/722834cd-2063-499e-9446-893d41cd60c8/New Folder. [00:24] <64MAA2DVH> before my reformat it works [00:26] 64MAA2DVH: Do you have write permission to the directory/file in question? [00:27] <64MAA2DVH> I should, it's a removable device [00:27] <64MAA2DVH> a 1TB disk in a USB case [00:27] <64MAA2DVH> or via e-sata === 64MAA2DVH is now known as chronos [00:29] chronos: nothing gives you access to removable devices automatically, if they use a filesystem that has strong permissions (such as ext2) [00:29] broder: Exactly what I was about to say. :) [00:34] so with what user I should format these partitions? [00:34] to get access [00:34] this is my external disk, that I use every dau [00:34] *day [00:42] chronos: You just need to perform a chown on the root directory on tha tpartition. [00:43] Also, is there a reason to use ext2 over ext3? [00:43] Or even ext4. [00:45] I use ext2 cause I put my external hd connected to a router :) [00:45] TheMuso: and what should be the default user of this partition?// [00:49] chronos: The user who is going to write to the drive. [00:50] can be various users [00:50] I put chmod 777 and group users === eeejay is now known as eeejay_is_afk [01:51] jasoncwarner_: there? [01:51] Hey guys, a quick question: [01:52] As for the RB vs Banshee discussion, would it be okay if I put up a poll on OMG! Ubuntu! asking readers to choose between those? [01:52] that would be a good way to check what the community things about the issue [01:56] I don't think this decision is a popularity contest [02:00] Well yes it isn't, but still, a good way to check out what the community things about it [02:00] personally I'm worried that there isn't an official stable release of GTK# for GTK3 [02:00] Are we actually going to dump GTK2? [02:00] cdbs, check with jasoncwarner_ [02:00] I doubt it [02:00] since Firefox will still remain GTK2 [02:00] and so will TB [02:00] cdbs, if you do post it, just make sure to word it carefully [02:00] bryceh: exactly [02:01] I blame the recent flamewars because of the wording of articles in the blogosphere [02:01] yep [02:01] especially about the 750 MB thing [02:01] like, instead of posing it as "vote your choice between rhythmbox vs. banshee" do something like, "Which of these are your top concerns if ubuntu switched from banshee to rhythmbox" [02:02] Mozilla can make big changes in less than 3 months, but yes we likely won't be able to fully get rid of GTK2 on the CD this time [02:02] oh my math's wrong, <18 weeks [02:03] jbicha: that way I doubt if banshee NOT being gtk3 is a big issue [02:03] it actually is an issue: how well is mono being developed? [02:05] Don't say that [02:05] Xamarin is driving development really well [02:05] and the more issues against Mono are raised [02:05] the more the people will point out about Xamarin [02:06] since that point is quite wrong [02:10] how well is rhythmbox being developed? [02:12] I don't actually use music players very much, but if we keep Banshee & Mono the lack of GTK3 support will be a question [02:13] mono ain't going away [02:13] last few times i tried to use rhythmbox it crashed out swiftly [02:52] cdbs: gtk3 port for firefox is progressing [02:52] That's good to hdar [02:52] *hear [02:52] but I'm sure we might still have to stick gtk2 in, because of one app or something [02:52] there are still quite many apps using it [02:53] such as TB, s-c-p, software-sources (if I'm not mistaken), just to think of some [02:53] of course, these other apps can be ported quite easily [02:54] alright, I was wrong about software-properties-gtk [02:55] * cdbs g2g [03:00] people are arguing about that in here too? fun times. [03:03] cdbs: btw, the banshee v rb article on omgubuntu already has a poll attached to it. [03:45] just looking over the git repo for rb, there are a couple dozen commits per month, which is a lot more than i expected to see. so maybe it's better than i remember [03:46] i don't thinkt he default app is really all that interesting. people can still use what they want [03:48] yeah; see the blog post jono just made :) [03:50] url? [03:55] top of planet [03:56] http://www.jonobacon.org/2011/11/08/ubuntu-more-than-the-default-install/ [04:00] yeah, he's exactly right. you're limiting your experience quite a bit if you only use the default stuff [06:33] Good morning [06:39] Hey pitti. [06:46] hey, pitti...avoid ubuflu? [06:47] jasoncwarner_: well, I already had it last week, I'm mostly through [06:48] good morning [06:48] pitti: ah, ok. seems seb128 is a bit under the weather. [06:48] morning didrocks [06:48] bonjour didrocks [06:48] hey jasoncwarner_, guten morgen pitti [06:49] seems the ML/blogosphere is exploding over the music player :( [06:50] pitti: wait, we still ship a music player? :P [07:27] didrocks: damn you! [07:28] * desrt is sick :( === eeejay_is_afk is now known as eeejay [07:29] desrt: urgh, sorry dude [07:30] * desrt is in LHR with a headache due to air pressure [07:31] isn't it nice to bring souvenirs back home? :/ [07:32] * desrt tries a shower === ejat- is now known as ejat [08:02] good morning desktop team [08:02] hey chrisccoulson [08:02] hi pitti, how are you? [08:02] good morning chrisccoulson [08:03] hi desrt [08:03] chrisccoulson: pretty well, ubuflu mostly gone [08:03] chrisccoulson: how about yourself? [08:03] pitti: you too, eh? :( [08:03] yeah, i think i'm getting delayed ubuflu [08:03] desrt: there's no escape! [08:03] or, "flubuntu" as blake put it ;) [08:03] hmmm [08:03] desrt, did you get it too? [08:04] chrisccoulson: ya. just after i got back home the symptoms kicked into full gear [08:04] and i just had a miserable head-exploding landing at LHR [08:04] 2 hours ago and my ears still haven't sorted themselves yet [08:05] that's not nice :( [08:05] i hope you feel a bit better soon [08:05] within the next 5 or 10 minutes would be nice :) [08:05] * desrt takes some drugs [08:05] heh :) [08:08] hey chrisccoulson [08:09] hi didrocks [08:13] morning chrisccoulson , how are things? [08:13] hi jasoncwarner_. yeah, not too bad thanks. i think i'm mostly recovered from UDS now [08:13] how about you? [08:14] chrisccoulson: pretty good, thanks. just trying to get two kids over jetlag. That is fun ;) [08:14] yeah, i can imagine ;) [08:18] kids + jetlag. hmm. [08:18] never a thought that entered my head before [08:19] desrt: me neither, but oh man, I'm quite aware of that combination now! [08:19] i imagine so... === eeejay is now known as eeejay_is_afk [09:32] hey [09:32] salut seb128, ça va? [09:32] lut didrocks, some ubuflu but good otherwise [09:32] what about you? [09:33] end of my ubuflu (still some cough), but fine! [09:35] bonjour seb128, ca va? [09:36] hey pitti, ubutflued but otherwise ok [09:36] what about you? [09:36] seb128: ubuflu is mostly gone [09:36] what about jetlag? [09:36] did a flu spread around UDS or something? [09:36] that went surprisingly well [09:37] hyperair: pretty much every time :) [09:37] hahah [09:37] * hyperair looks forward to attending UDS someday when i no longer need to study for exams [09:37] seb128: I went to bed at 10 on Sunday and woke up at 6, same yesterday/today, so no problem at all [09:38] good, almost the same here, went to bed at 11pm and woke up at 10am the next day [09:38] then midnight to 10 today [09:38] shrug, hate online rants about app selections [09:39] especially when they are partially based on after session etherpad spamming and not on the real discussion [09:42] * hyperair is guilty for a bit of the spam [09:42] whoops. [09:43] i'm kinda interested to know whose brilliant idea it was to port banshee to vala though. [09:44] I think we can safely discard that :) [09:44] there's a lot of oddity on that pad [09:44] 50.92348239 %, haha [09:44] oh yeah, that [09:45] it was there before i woke up [09:45] if you added the two percentages together, you get more than 100% [09:45] heheh [09:45] "71.342 % of all statistics have too precise numbers, and 103 % of statistics contain at least one invalid number" [09:45] hyperair: well, that's fine [09:45] you can use both at the same time [09:45] especially with multiple users [09:46] right. [09:46] but the precision is absurd, and there is no reference to where these numbers came from [09:46] hahah [09:46] also, there will be a huge bias for whichever app is installed by default [09:46] which is RB <= lucid and Banshee >= maverick [09:46] so you also need to partition the statistics at that point [09:47] hmm yes that's true [09:47] anyway, I don't think we have a good way of measuring this, and I don't think having it would actually help us much [09:47] vala> that was not even mentioned in the session [09:47] but for users who upgraded from lucid to maverick, do they continue using rhythmbox or start using banshee? [09:47] that's etherpad spamming [09:47] hyperair: 'zactly [09:48] we never change applications under user feet [09:48] jibel: hey, how are you? [09:48] it depends on the user's preference [09:48] they can keep running what they were using [09:48] pitti: supposing the user has no preference. what happens? [09:48] hyperair: you must have one, as you now have two players installed [09:48] i mean banshee had a clear upgrade path from rhythmbox, but i think you still had to make a conscious decision to change to bnashee [09:48] hyperair: my gut feeling is that more people will continue to use what they got used to, but some might actually try the new one [09:49] pitti: how is the new one presented to the user anyway? [09:49] but just as everyone else the only thing I have is some totally non-representative anecdotal stories, no representative numbers [09:49] hyperair: they both appear in teh sound indicator, and of course in the menus/unity search [09:50] pitti: default mime handler changes, though? [09:50] hyperair: for playlists? yes, I think that switched over [09:51] eh no i'm not talking about playlists [09:51] i'm talking about double clicking random audio files on the desktop [09:51] or say selecting "open" in firefox when downloading stuff [09:51] hyperair: totem [09:51] ah, right, it was totem. [09:51] it's still the right choice for playing individual files, as you don't want to import them into your library first, etc. [09:52] banshee has a "file system queue" for playing individual files [09:52] so it all works out fine if the default handler was banshee [09:53] in fact, it is the default handler for audio files in oneiric. [09:54] ah, someone might have switched that over in 11.10 then [09:55] hmmm, after accidentally clicking the search button in nautilus, is there no way to get rid of the search bar without closing the window? [09:55] pitti: yeah, i did. [09:55] chrisccoulson: Esc doesn't work? [09:55] pitti: there was a bug where totem was the default music player in gnome3's default things [09:55] chrisccoulson: which search button? [09:55] pitti - it doesn't seem to work [09:56] chrisccoulson: it should. are you sure it's not segfaulting? [09:56] pitti - the search button on the right hand side of the toolbar [09:56] chrisccoulson: works for me. [09:56] hyperair, yeah, nautilus works fine. just with a search bar that i can't get rid of [09:56] chrisccoulson: no, i mean esc removes the search bar in nautilus for me [09:56] chrisccoulson: since when has esc closed nautilus windows anyway? O_o [09:57] chrisccoulson: esc works here [09:57] hmmmm, now i closed the window and tried again, and esc works for me too [09:57] but it definitely did not work just a moment ago :/ [09:57] heh [09:58] are you sure it didn't segfault? [09:58] and yes, while we're on the topic of nautilus bugs, can we have https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/879456 in -proposed please? [09:58] Launchpad bug 879456 in nautilus "Typeahead functionality for nautilus is broken" [High,Triaged] [10:00] hmm i could have sworn i subscribed ubuntu-sponsors and ubuntu-sru to that bug. [10:01] oh yeah both teams are subscribed. [10:01] chrisccoulson: ^ [10:17] seb128: ugh @ https://blueprints.launchpad.net/~seb128/+specs?role=drafter&searchtext=desktop-p [10:18] seb128: I can draft https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-p-desktop-boot-speed if you want me to, and set you as approver instead [10:18] pitti, why "ugh", I guess that's because nobody else than me spammed the list with topics before UDS :p [10:18] seb128: well, many of them will be small, like gnome version and bugs,bugs,bugs [10:18] pitti, you are welcome to do so if you want [10:19] pitti, yeah, half the list is "informative", like the vnc or video player ones are not specs, they were topics to raise for discussion that we sorted on the list [10:19] seb128: grabbed boot speed then [10:19] pitti, danke [10:19] seb128: VNC does have WIs, though, at least for the MIRs and seed changes? [10:19] morning [10:19] pitti, oh, I didn't check, they maybe hijacked it for the freerdp remmina discussion [10:19] btw, please link the MIR bug instead of adding a whiteboard WI item, better for tracking [10:20] pitti, I will review those today [10:20] seb128: I thought that's what this BP was all about [10:20] lut huats, bien rentré ? [10:20] hello seb128 [10:20] seb128: but anyway, please let me know if you have many big ones you need help with [10:20] yes [10:20] et toi, [10:20] ? [10:20] seb128: I'll draft the boot speed one now [10:20] pitti, ok, maybe I got confused, there was one about vino being bugged and not redrawing correctly on nvidia and ati drivers [10:20] pitti, which turned to be a driver issue and that was descoped [10:20] huats, no problem from my side ;-) [10:22] cool [10:25] hi huats [10:25] rickspencer3: hey :) [10:26] long time since I saw you !

[11:09] hey rodrigo_ [11:10] hi pitti, seb128 [11:10] now recovered, after 12 hours sleep last night :) [11:10] everyone back home safely? [11:11] seems so ;-) [11:11] hey rodrigo_! [11:12] hi didrocks [11:12] some people lost their passports or baggages on the way but everybody made it at the end [11:13] oh, lost password? who? and how did they get out of the US without it? [11:14] passport, not password :) [11:14] seb128: did you hear back from him? I didn't [11:14] rodrigo_: he lost it after the security check [11:14] ah [11:14] apparently someone else took it [11:14] rodrigo_, i did [11:14] pitti, he was in the plane with us and he said he made it home yesterday [11:14] mhr3, oh, suck :( [11:14] hey mhr3, how are you? [11:15] hey mhr3, good that you made it; did someone bother you when you arrived? [11:15] seb128, good thx, also slept a while yesterday, but it's easier than getting used to us [11:15] pitti, nah, in germany it was fine, fortunatelly i had my national id which is good enough here [11:16] and they found my passport in the us yesterday ("just" 14 hours after my departure) [11:16] I only had one issue also, but yesterday in Madrid with a f***ng taxi driver [11:16] they are bandits in madrid [11:16] so i'm arranging how to deliver it here... [11:17] I didn't have cash so he tried with 2 credit cards and the machine said the payment didn't work, so went to an ATM to get cash, paid him [11:17] rodrigo_: so you paid him three times? [11:17] and then got a sms for my 2 cards being charged with the amount [11:17] yes, I need to go to the police now, so that my bank can cancel the payments [11:19] I am from Madrid and I know the taxi drivers there suck, not sure what I was thinking about when I wanted to pay with a credit card [11:20] I guess I was too sleepy [11:54] wow, metacity just crashed for the first time in ages [12:04] hey kamusin [12:04] hola rodrigo_, how is it going! [12:04] kamusin, we missed you in orlando :( [12:05] did pedro brought you the mickey mouse ears? :D [12:06] I know I know, me too :( ... I told him but am not sure.. I think he is in the country side in this moment === MacSlow is now known as MacSlow|lunch [12:12] hi rodrigo_ [12:12] rodrigo_, where r u based? [12:12] hi seif [12:12] hi davidcalle [12:12] seif, pamplona, spain [12:13] hi seif [12:13] davidcalle, i am supposed to contact you for the unity-ppl-lens [12:13] rodrigo_, and i am supposed ot work with you on getting alm into g-c-c [12:13] seif, hey, you said you didn't want to work with me!! :D [12:13] seif, yeah and I'm supposed to contact a Canonical designer about it. [12:15] rodrigo_, i was kidding [12:15] i love you [12:15] :P [12:15] seif, I know :) [12:15] seif, I believe you already have a branch (from last year ?) for it. [12:15] love you too :D [12:15] davidcalle, yes i do [12:15] i would love to take a stab at it again [12:15] rewrite in vala [12:16] rodrigo_, as for the ALM afaik john lea liked our UI [12:16] so its all about converting it to vala and adding it into the g-c-c [12:16] yes [12:17] although libgnome-control-center doesn't exist anymore in g-c-c, it's all in the g-c-c binary [12:17] so we'd need to integrate it into g-c-c proper [12:18] yeah [12:18] still ok [12:18] :) [12:19] seif, I'd like to make a python prototype with what design will give us. Kenvandine should be in the loop too as I believe it will be more like a social lens. [12:20] davidcalle, ok my work was in python [12:20] but i dont think it is up2date with libfolks [12:21] seif, but if you want to port yours to vala, we can iterate on it. It's just that I prefer prototyping in python, but that's not a big deal, I will adapt. :) [12:21] davidcalle, u kidding i love prototyping in python [12:21] :) [12:22] great :) [12:22] davidcalle, its what i thnk the desktop team needs [12:22] more python prototypers [12:22] dbarth ^ ;) [12:23] davidcalle, we need a OUDIRC movement [12:23] Occupy Ubuntu Desktop IRC [12:23] demand more python prototyping [12:24] Hehe [12:26] seif, I will ping Mika from design tomorrow. Do you know the latest libunity lens API? [12:27] davidcalle, i can read it today [12:27] davidcalle, should not be a big deal [12:27] i mean once u go through hacking extensions for gnome shell i think everything is doable [12:27] chrisccoulson: should we really keep https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-firefox-translations-in-launchpad targetted to precise, or should I move to q? [12:28] seif, https://code.launchpad.net/onehundredscopes there is a template for a lens in trunk, and scopes in other branches. [12:28] pitti - it's definitely something i'd like to work on in precise. but it's quite low priority [12:29] chrisccoulson: what about https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/other-desktop-n-firefox-pgo-builds ? [12:29] pitti - i guess that one's really just a matter of trying a build again [12:35] re [12:35] (back from lunch) [12:35] pitti, I bounced some drafting to others (i.e bugs bugs bugs to pedro) I hope it's ok [12:35] davidcalle, awesome [12:35] or calendar to chrisccoulson [12:35] seif: sure [12:35] pitti, are u flirting with me [12:35] ? [12:36] hey seif [12:36] seif: no, I'm just too dumb to use Tab properly :0 [12:36] hi pitti [12:36] seb128, is it fixed yet? [12:36] seb128: sure [12:36] chrisccoulson, lol [12:36] :-) [12:38] chrisccoulson, speaking of which federico was mentioning on #gnome-hackers working on docking issues yesterday, I wonder if that's the dual event bug he was talking about [12:42] chrisccoulson: I built Firefox with xz compression yesterday and saved a few MB https://launchpad.net/~jbicha/+archive/dev/+build/2907821 [12:42] https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa/+build/2906350 [12:42] hey jbicha, how are you? [12:43] seb128: I'm fine, I had allergies bad or something for a few days but I'm doing better today [12:44] oh, good that you are better then! [12:44] I hope so :) [12:44] I can't tell the difference between a cold and bad allergies though [12:45] you perhaps just got ubuflu as well [12:45] seems quite some people were sick this time [12:49] for me it was mostly sore throat and some nose congestion, I felt quite fine otherwise (no fever, no headache, etc.) [12:50] seemed mostly an immune system's "preemtive strike" [12:50] was it much worse for you? [12:50] well I've no fever or headache but running nose which is turning in a cough [12:51] it's mostly annoying, I don't feel tired or bad [12:53] bah [12:53] http://www.generation-nt.com/ubuntu-precise-pangolin-taille-cd-actualite-1499441.html [12:53] title "Ubuntu will not longer fit on a CD" [12:57] we should really do a better job at communicating what happens at UDS with the outside [13:06] seb128, "we should really do a better job at communicating what happens at UDS with the outside" [13:06] it's only 2 days after UDS! [13:06] rickspencer3, it's enough for quite some people picking up infos from etherpads and doing blog or online article about those [13:06] seb128, is it the case that the "DVD image" will be < 750 megs, but there will still be a CD image? [13:07] seb128, I know, and people like to write inflammatory things, without necessarily fact checking first [13:07] rickspencer3, well, the sabdfl agree to bump the CD limit to 750mb when we will need it during the session but consensus is that we will probably don't need it in precise [13:07] fair enough [13:07] so precise should still fit on a CD [13:08] seb128, are we still considering the DVD image to be the "target" image for Precise? [13:08] and making it fit on a 2meg stick? [13:08] <1.5 gig? [13:08] AFAIUI not [13:08] i. e. what ubuntu.com will offer will still be the CD, as long as we have it [13:08] rickspencer3, not really, from the session the sabdfl would like us to drop the 1.5g image to reduce duplication and testing [13:08] and for +1 we'll only have one image which will then be 750 MB [13:08] (which is certainly a bit strange) [13:09] pitti, well 750 fits on a 1gig stick, that's pretty cheap [13:09] fits and makes a nice enduring live image [13:09] heh, yes, we definitely need to do a better job of communicating decisions made at UDS ;) [13:09] so, no DVD image? [13:10] rickspencer3, the consensus from the session was to use pitti's localized image tools to allow users to create an iso with more than the standard set but not provide any of those directly [13:10] chrisccoulson, seb128 I said "it's only been 2 days" to say "it's not too late to communicate about it" [13:10] rickspencer3, i.e we would have a standard CD iso and a tools that allow to build a custom iso with that basis and any additional packages you might want [13:10] so, no more DVD image for 12.04? [13:10] "stop thinking that everything that anyone at UDS or on an etherpad ever said is a firm decision, or even being considered" [13:11] pitti, right... [13:12] rickspencer3, well, I don't think there was a strong decision made at the session and it depends if we can get the "build your own custom iso" done tool working good enough to deprecate the dvd need [13:12]
