[19:08] <chrisccoulson> m_conley_away, you around?
[19:59] <bhearsum> i know it's offtopic for the channel, but anyone know how i can make something happen in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-desktop3/+bug/888134? i don't know how to debug further
[19:59] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 888134 in gnome-desktop3 "automatic detection of plugged in / removed monitor is too aggressive" [High,Incomplete]
[20:21] <alex_mayorga> bhearsum: I'd say #ubuntu-x might be a better venue for your question
[20:21] <bhearsum> ah, i didn't know that existed
[20:21] <bhearsum> thanks
[20:29] <chrisccoulson> bhearsum, you don't have a dell by any chance do you?
[20:31] <bhearsum> i do, one of 24'' widescreens
[20:32] <bhearsum> U2410F
[20:33] <chrisccoulson> bhearsum, do you dock it?
[20:34] <bhearsum> no dock, nope
[20:35] <bhearsum> VGA in this case
[20:35] <chrisccoulson> ah, ok
[20:35] <bhearsum> (i tried displayport too, but that had different issues)
[20:35] <chrisccoulson> some dells like to simulate a fake videomode keypress when you dock them, which screws up the monitor detection
[20:35] <chrisccoulson> mine does this
[20:36] <bhearsum> yikes
[20:36] <chrisccoulson> so, gnome-settings-daemon correctly configures my display, but then the fake videomode keypress immediately selects a configuration i don't want
[20:36] <chrisccoulson> i was just wondering whether you might have a similar issue ;)
[20:37] <bhearsum> can i look for a kernel event or something to confirm?
[20:37] <bhearsum> because that's _similar_ to what happens to me
[20:37] <chrisccoulson> bhearsum, you could try starting your session with the media-keys plugin disabled in gnome-settings-daemon
[20:37] <chrisccoulson> which ubuntu version are you on?
[20:37] <bhearsum> 11.10
[20:39] <chrisccoulson> ok, so if you run "gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys active false" and restart your session, that will ensure that the plugin which handles the videomode key is disabled
[20:41] <bhearsum> i will give that a try!
[21:54] <chrisccoulson> hi m_conley, you about?
[21:54] <m_conley> chrisccoulson: hello!
[21:54] <chrisccoulson> hi, how are you?
[21:54] <m_conley> chrisccoulson: I'm well, and yourself?
[21:54] <chrisccoulson> m_conley, yeah, good thanks
[21:56] <chrisccoulson> m_conley, i was just wondering whether you had looked at the addressbook related items on https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-p-thunderbird-enhancements
[21:57] <m_conley> chrisccoulson: I have indeed.  I have an attack plan on it, but I don't think I'll be able to do it until later next week.
[21:57] <chrisccoulson> m_conley, ok, that's cool
[21:57] <chrisccoulson> thanks :)
[21:58] <m_conley> chrisccoulson: np. :)
[22:11] <chrisccoulson> interesting conversation about binary components on mozilla.dev.planning
[22:11] <chrisccoulson> not all binary components are bad ;)
[22:50] <chrisccoulson> bhearsum, any luck with the monitor stuff?
[22:51] <bhearsum> i didn't get a chance to test your suggestion yet
[22:55] <chrisccoulson> ah, no worries
[22:56] <bhearsum> going to try again tomorrow, with my home monitor this time :)
[22:58] <chrisccoulson> cool, thanks
[22:58] <chrisccoulson> it would be good if you have the same issue as me, because it's already on my list of things to fix ;)
