Atamirai keep thinking its sunday21:13
Atamiramorning all21:13
ajmitchfeels more like monday to me, but that's mostly due to the public holiday yesterday21:14
ibeardsleeeh?21:18
ajmitchibeardslee: confused?21:20
ibeardsleeOtago Anniversary day?21:21
ajmitchyep21:21
thomimwhudson: works for me - what happens if you run unity manually from a VT?21:22
mwhudsonthomi: log in to the unity session, then c-a-f1 and run 'unity' ?21:23
thomimwhudson: that hsould do it. Add a '&' at the end if you wan tyour VT back again21:23
thomi...please excuse my poor typing. not enough coffee.... or maybe too much.21:24
mwhudsonbiab then21:24
thomiBTW, what's with the website linked in the channel topic?21:25
* thomi was expecting more purple...21:25
ajmitchsomeone needs to put in an RT ticket, I guess21:27
mwhudsonthomi: so...21:28
mwhudsonthomi: i get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/901208/21:29
thomimwhudson: I take it unity doesn't start?21:29
mwhudsonthomi: i think there is _something_ running when i log in, the cursor changes to the window resizing shape where the empathy window usually appears21:29
mwhudsonthomi: no, the process exits21:30
mwhudson(didn't check exit status, come to think of it)21:30
thomihmmmm21:30
thomimwhudson: do you have a ~/.compiz-1 directory? One thing to try is move that to somewhere else (or just delete it). Anotehr thing to try is to run unity --reset on a VT21:33
mwhudsonthomi: i do have a .compiz-1 directory21:33
thomi...a third thing to try is make sure you have the very latest version - I had issues with unity over the weekend, but it's working much better this morning21:34
thomicurrent version is 5.8.0-0ubuntu121:34
mwhudsoni did that last thing already :)21:34
mwhudsonunity5.8.0-0ubuntu221:34
mwhudsonthomi: i am even more in the future than you, it seems21:34
thomiO.021:35
mwhudsonbiab21:35
mwhudsonthomi: seems unity --reset did it21:36
thomicool21:40
ibeardsleeI had tried that when I had some unity problems .. it wasn't until I acutally managed to install compizconfig-settings-manager and use that to reset to defaults that it actually came right21:42
ibeardsleeunity --reset just never seemed to complete21:42
mwhudsoni really hope i can keep ccsm as far away from my machine as possible21:43
ibeardsleewell ok, I wouldn't expect it to still be going 10 minutes later21:43
ajmitchit's a bit worrying that you should even need to --reset21:43
thomiyeah, I agree21:45
ajmitchaside from the handful of bugs I'm whinged to thomi about, unity has been pretty stable for me :)21:47
ibeardsleeit's working great now21:48
ibeardsleeit was some madness with the initial upgrade21:49
* ajmitch does have some other bugs to file about it though21:49
ibeardsleeand discovering that the video card on my home PC is no longer deemed to be good enough for Unity 3d21:49
ajmitchheh21:49
ajmitchwhat is it?21:49
thomiibeardslee: if you're feeling brave you can try unity3d with software rendering. I'd have to look up how to enable it though.21:50
ibeardsleeajmitch: not sure, some nvidia geforce, 256MB I think21:52
ajmitchsurely that should be good enough still21:52
ibeardsleeit was good enough in Natty21:59
ibeardsleeoneiric told me it wasn't good enough so was dropping down to 2d22:00
thomiibeardslee: it sounds like maybe the drivers weren't loaded? I'd be surprised if it wasn't good enough anymore22:05
ibeardsleethe nvidia drivers are installed22:08
ojwbmorning22:19
Gwow, is it me or is Thunderbird a really really bad e-mail client these days?22:24
Gtrying to compose an e-mail w/ quoting, and I delete a line the wrong way it reformats the entire plain text e-mail :S22:25
ojwbsounds FAB22:26
mwhudsonhaven't been near a graphical MUA in a couple of years now :)22:35
mwhudson(unless you count gmail's web interface i guess)22:36
ibeardsleeI generally avoid Thunderbird .. mainly so I can go "I don't use it" when people get upset when lightning is not compatible with their current version of thunderbird22:40
Gyeah, I normally just use mutt tbh, but I get so low volume on this account, that I use a GUI app, in the past I've used Evolution22:44
codepalmorning22:48
ibeardsleeat work I have evolution installed for work email and claws for connecting to my personal email22:55
