| ajmitch | morning | 20:04 |
| ibeardslee | morning | 20:14 |
| mwhudson | is unity 3d broken in precise at the moment? | 20:24 |
| hads | Sort of | 20:40 |
| hads | If you mean the flashy thing | 20:40 |
| hads | I ran unity --reset which fixed my current session. | 20:42 |
| mwhudson | hm no | 20:45 |
| mwhudson | if i try to log in to the 'unity' session i get a black screen | 20:45 |
| hads | I can log in okay. | 20:45 |
| Atamira | i keep thinking its sunday | 21:13 |
| Atamira | morning all | 21:13 |
| ajmitch | feels more like monday to me, but that's mostly due to the public holiday yesterday | 21:14 |
| ibeardslee | eh? | 21:18 |
| ajmitch | ibeardslee: confused? | 21:20 |
| ibeardslee | Otago Anniversary day? | 21:21 |
| ajmitch | yep | 21:21 |
| thomi | mwhudson: works for me - what happens if you run unity manually from a VT? | 21:22 |
| mwhudson | thomi: log in to the unity session, then c-a-f1 and run 'unity' ? | 21:23 |
| thomi | mwhudson: that hsould do it. Add a '&' at the end if you wan tyour VT back again | 21:23 |
| thomi | ...please excuse my poor typing. not enough coffee.... or maybe too much. | 21:24 |
| mwhudson | biab then | 21:24 |
| thomi | BTW, what's with the website linked in the channel topic? | 21:25 |
| * thomi was expecting more purple... | 21:25 | |
| ajmitch | someone needs to put in an RT ticket, I guess | 21:27 |
| mwhudson | thomi: so... | 21:28 |
| mwhudson | thomi: i get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/901208/ | 21:29 |
| thomi | mwhudson: I take it unity doesn't start? | 21:29 |
| mwhudson | thomi: i think there is _something_ running when i log in, the cursor changes to the window resizing shape where the empathy window usually appears | 21:29 |
| mwhudson | thomi: no, the process exits | 21:30 |
| mwhudson | (didn't check exit status, come to think of it) | 21:30 |
| thomi | hmmmm | 21:30 |
| thomi | mwhudson: 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 VT | 21:33 |
| mwhudson | thomi: i do have a .compiz-1 directory | 21:33 |
| 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 morning | 21:34 |
| thomi | current version is 5.8.0-0ubuntu1 | 21:34 |
| mwhudson | i did that last thing already :) | 21:34 |
| mwhudson | unity5.8.0-0ubuntu2 | 21:34 |
| mwhudson | thomi: i am even more in the future than you, it seems | 21:34 |
| thomi | O.0 | 21:35 |
| mwhudson | biab | 21:35 |
| mwhudson | thomi: seems unity --reset did it | 21:36 |
| thomi | cool | 21:40 |
| ibeardslee | I 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 right | 21:42 |
| ibeardslee | unity --reset just never seemed to complete | 21:42 |
| mwhudson | i really hope i can keep ccsm as far away from my machine as possible | 21:43 |
| ibeardslee | well ok, I wouldn't expect it to still be going 10 minutes later | 21:43 |
| ajmitch | it's a bit worrying that you should even need to --reset | 21:43 |
| thomi | yeah, I agree | 21:45 |
| ajmitch | aside from the handful of bugs I'm whinged to thomi about, unity has been pretty stable for me :) | 21:47 |
| ibeardslee | it's working great now | 21:48 |
| ibeardslee | it was some madness with the initial upgrade | 21:49 |
| * ajmitch does have some other bugs to file about it though | 21:49 | |
| ibeardslee | and discovering that the video card on my home PC is no longer deemed to be good enough for Unity 3d | 21:49 |
| ajmitch | heh | 21:49 |
| ajmitch | what is it? | 21:49 |
| thomi | ibeardslee: 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 |
| ibeardslee | ajmitch: not sure, some nvidia geforce, 256MB I think | 21:52 |
| ajmitch | surely that should be good enough still | 21:52 |
| ibeardslee | it was good enough in Natty | 21:59 |
| ibeardslee | oneiric told me it wasn't good enough so was dropping down to 2d | 22:00 |
| thomi | ibeardslee: it sounds like maybe the drivers weren't loaded? I'd be surprised if it wasn't good enough anymore | 22:05 |
| ibeardslee | the nvidia drivers are installed | 22:08 |
| ojwb | morning | 22:19 |
| G | wow, is it me or is Thunderbird a really really bad e-mail client these days? | 22:24 |
| G | trying to compose an e-mail w/ quoting, and I delete a line the wrong way it reformats the entire plain text e-mail :S | 22:25 |
| ojwb | sounds FAB | 22:26 |
| mwhudson | haven'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 |
| ibeardslee | I 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 thunderbird | 22:40 |
| G | yeah, 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 Evolution | 22:44 |
| codepal | morning | 22:48 |
| ibeardslee | at work I have evolution installed for work email and claws for connecting to my personal email | 22:55 |
