=== opt1mu5 is now known as opt1mus [07:18] Morning all [07:33] morning all [07:52] morning [07:58] Morning [08:02] Goooooood mooooornin' intarwebz! [08:04] I was trying to increase the workspaces, and couldnt find out how to do it anywhere, and ended up only being able to do it via the terminal....how come? What is missing...... [08:05] hank3three3: is this in Unity? [08:06] You need to use ccsm which is for some reason not installed by default. [08:06] yes, sorry, too early in the morning [08:06] apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager I think [08:06] ah, I wondered why I couldnt find it [08:06] it's a bit easy to break Unity with it, but it's also the only way to configure it [08:06] ok, will see if I can do that [08:09] well the command worked, thanks for the heads up on breaking unity with it, if I remember its in general and one of the tabs so I wont be doing anything else with it, just finished installing [08:10] oh man [08:11] I wish there was a bit better way of telling if I'm in Launchpad trying to file a duplicate bug than trying to remember all I can from apport window and comparing it with the other similar results [08:11] yep, I was right, but wont go in there unless I really have to again, thanks for the help. [08:13] also, I swear I sent the chromium window to another workspace, not close the whole thing [08:13] hank3three3: yeah, no worries! I think there's a way to reset everythin in that to dfaults from the command line if you do manage to break it :) [08:14] GOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING!!! [08:14] oh well, I didn't want to file that bug report anyway [08:14] I am getting quite used ti Unity, but I have installed via Synaptic xubuntu, and that looks really good too.......but I update everything using Unity 12.04 and its been pretty stable since I installed it, had a few bugs, but nothing serious [08:17] hank3three3, same experience throughout most of this release [08:23] Think this will be a good release as far as it not being buggy.....well impressed [08:42] Good morning sleepy peeps :) [08:43] Or is that me [08:43] Morning! [08:44] Yes, it's just me [08:44] * bigcalm tickles popey [08:51] popey, in the top bar where it shows the program name, are you getting a weird visual defect on the first character? [08:52] sagaci: no, screenshot? [08:54] I would but the screenshot app is crashing [08:54] :) [08:58] you'd be able to notice it, the first character is a pixel or two extra wide on the left [08:58] sagaci: maybe more coffee is needed [08:59] I know I need more [08:59] bigcalm, do we have a thingy this thursday or is it next thursday? [08:59] gord: thingy is this Thursday [08:59] sagaci: shutter is a lovely screenshot app [08:59] cool, will book a ticket [09:00] wouldn't be a bad idea to dock a screenshot app to the dev releases temporarily [09:01] gord: a thingy being the workplace day. The happy hour/pre-release party is the following fortnight (19th) === himcesjf1 is now known as himcesjf [09:05] oh cool, four day weekend this weekend [09:06] same difference to me... *sigh* [09:06] gord: this week and next :D [09:07] apart from I need to go visit my sister and go say happy birthday to mum as well [09:07] bigcalm, next? [09:07] gord: Good Friday and Easter Monday are bank holidays [09:07] bigcalm: yes but next week? [09:07] is it queenie holiday? [09:08] bigcalm, yeah, hence the "four day" weekend ;) [09:08] popey, the last two comments of bug 957868 [09:08] Launchpad bug 957868 in unity (Ubuntu) "unity panel has visual defect in top left" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/957868 [09:08] Oh, sorry, missread as four day week [09:08] awesome queenie holiday is june [09:08] Myrtti: I forgot about that, think it's later though [09:08] gord: thought the four day weekend was just generic bank hols? [09:09] my sister got engaged on Leap Day as well, she has her party on Saturday. I still don't know what to get her as a present... was thinking of Ticket to Ride [09:10] ooer sagaci, no i dont see that [09:14] found the best gif file on the internet http://i.imgur.com/QyM8v.gif [09:15] awww [09:37] Hmm. The Ubuntu website needs to drop the April Fool from the frontpage, methinks. Although I was rooting for it to be true. [09:38] So... now it's 12.04 ... when's Precise out? [09:39] 26th [09:39] we're doing a final unity release this week [09:39] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin [09:40] Shiny [09:42] s/this/next/ [09:43] we as in, me and my team ;) not ubuntu [09:43] :D [09:45] should probably close this dog gif now [09:45] don't really have the heart [09:46] good morning everyone, [09:46] awilkins: always the end of the month, except 10.10.10 [09:48] Hi [09:48] I am ssh to a remote server using my office lan connection, i also do have a wifi connection [09:49] when i unplug from wired , is there a way to maintain the ssh session when my laptop establishes wifi ? [09:50] not unless your office DHCP server is configured to assign the same IP address on both wired & wireless [09:50] ok [09:50] directhex: makes sense [09:51] directhex: any way to restart the ssh session on client side ? [09:51] i mean automatically [09:55] while [ 1 ]; do ssh host; done [09:55] is a bodgy way of doing it [09:56] Eugh [09:56] not exactly sure how you'd get out of that, though [09:56] Don't put that in your bashrc :/ [09:56] hah, no [09:56] Don't put that anywhere near any machine ever [09:56] it's not that bad! === webpigeo1 is now known as webpigeon [09:57] you could just kill it from a different termina [09:57] l [09:57] Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure [09:57] bigcalm: how about autossh ? [09:58] * bigcalm shrugs :) [09:58] I'm not really in this convo :) [09:58] kaushal_: ooo, that looks shiny [09:58] i'm not really here. i'm a ghost. wooooooo! [09:58] * popey jumps [09:59] :) [09:59] and it's packaged in ubuntu [10:00] http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/autossh || http://www.harding.motd.ca/autossh/ [10:01] kaushal_: why not just stay on wifi? [10:01] morning all [10:01] * davmor2 prods czajkowski a happy Monday [10:01] morning davmor2 [10:01] Morning davmor2 [10:01] morning MooDoo nice pics over the weekend by the way what software were you playing with? [10:02] bigcalm: morning dude no ics then [10:02] davmor2: good morning sir [10:16] czajkowski: see that just sounds wrong ;) [10:19] davmor2: indeed, no ICS. It would nice to know what their intentions are [10:19] bigcalm: ask them the email address is on their website [10:20] That requires effort. Maybe later [10:20] ICS :( [10:21] internet connection sharing [10:21] I did spend ages metnally associating it with that [10:21] mentally [10:22] Met Nally sounds like a fun person [10:22] quite [10:22] I met nally [10:22] In an ally? [10:23] an a11y [10:24] Cat over the road is meowing at passing cars. I guess she thinks they are going to feed her [10:24] Dave2: why U tally men [10:24] Poor kitty [10:25] Now I want a banana [10:28] hallo [10:29] what's the current best screen recorder? [10:29] (i.e. what is popey using at the minute?) [10:29] Haha [10:29] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreencastTeam/RecordingScreencasts [10:30] jonathonf: record my desktop is the one I use seems fine but popey may counter that argument [10:30] thanks both; i'll give it a go [10:30] I thought the best screen recorder _was_ popey :) [10:30] have a rather charming unity2d bug :D [10:30] lol [10:32] huh... well recordmydesktop makes my desktop slow to a crawl... can't click or type [10:34] jonathonf: I think a lot of people are using kazaam [10:36] right, i'll try that now :) [10:37] that works better [10:37] kazam [10:37] kazam is under active development, which none of the others are [10:37] and the developer is a lovely chap who hangs out in #kazam [10:38] (BigWhale on irc) [10:38] arg... recording makes everything hang... does it need hardware acceleration? [10:39] no [10:42] hmm... wonder if it's because it's running unity2d in fallback (fglrx doesn't work with 3.4-rc1) [10:42] reboot may be in order [10:42] thanks all [10:51] great - rebooted, kazam works without killing my desktop, and now the bug doesn't happen :( [10:52] Maybe that's how you fix the bug [10:52] :) [11:03] Hi. I'm trying to get rid of a nasty package that has screwed up apt/dpkg [11:03] Can someone tell me where the list of packages is held, so that I can delete the package manually [11:03] I've tried everything else [11:05] piffer111: no you don't delete a package like that, what is the issue [11:05] davmor2: I fear that I now do. [11:05] davmor2: When I try to apt-get remove the package, it hangs [11:06] davmor2: It was looking for python 2.5, so I installed python 2.5, and then there was a script error [11:06] davmore2: In any case, I've deleted all the files of the package by hand [11:06] davmor2: So now I just have to tell apt to completely ignore the package. I tried everything - remove, purge... [11:06] davmor2: I tried apt-get clean, autoclean [11:07] I see the packages in /var/lib/dpkg/info [11:07] Can I just delete the files which refer to the package> [11:07] ? [11:10] erk, that sounds drastic [11:11] It totally screwed up my system [11:11] It was the only package that has ever done that [11:11] It was python-orange [11:11] 8349 Package: python-orange [11:11] 8350 Status: purge ok half-configured [11:13] piffer111, try removing /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-orange.post* and /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-orange.pre* [11:13] direct: Yep. That's what I just did. [11:13] Thank you. :) [11:13] then remove it via apt-get remove --purge python-orange [11:16] OK, looks like I totally nuked that dirty package from my syste, [11:16] m [11:16] thanks y'all :) === Darren is now known as Darren_Shelley [12:31] [Chris Oattes] Easier connectors for RGB strips - http://www.cjo20.net/blog/?p=94 [12:34] Afternoon all [12:38] howdy [12:43] bigcalm: hmmmmmmmm bacon sarnie for lunch [12:50] wohey, my package has been packaged and I might even get it before Thursday! \o/ [12:57] \o/ [13:00] \o/ my fixed ipad is due for delivery on my birthday \o/ [13:00] i did not receive mass effect 3 for my birthday :( [13:04] back to screen recording : what about VLC using screen:// ? [13:05] * popey stil recommends kazam [13:05] http://youtube.com/user/popeydc <- all of those made with kazam [13:05] and instantly uploaded to youtube. just worked [13:06] I still think recording an RDP stream would be ace [13:06] Low bandwidth, super nice output [13:06] Maybe you could do the same for NX [13:09] * awilkins awilkins rages at the git who has packed these zip archives into another zip archive [13:18] Anyone here run Xerox Lasers @ work ? [13:18] Not a cups man, but having some issues with Xeroxs wanting more memory from print jobs [13:18] Google not helping much so far [13:19] Strangely, the thing that makes me want Precise the most is now the new DNS stuff [13:19] Or a way of checking how much data cups is sending [13:41] new dns stuff? [13:42] !info resolvconf precise [13:42] resolvconf (source: resolvconf): name server information handler. In component main, is important. Version 1.63ubuntu11 (precise), package size 52 kB, installed size 236 kB [13:51] yeah, but what's changed? [13:52] i dont know, myself, sorry. [13:54] BigRedS: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/changelog.html Maybe the bottom of that page answers that [14:19] popey: I selected sheriff but it thinks I picked clay. Have fun with that [14:19] do wot? [14:19] Draw Something [14:19] ahh [14:20] Sheesh, can't you read minds or something? [14:20] hah [14:25] haha [14:38] played draw something or a day and got annoyed at the people who cheat and the number of "words" that aren't really words but supposedly famous people in the USA [14:40] yeah, annoys me too [14:40] have you seen http://drawception.com/ ?

Click the indicator thing. does it flicker for you? [15:15] popey: yeap very brief redraw it look like right? [15:15] yes [15:15] now, where does that need to be filed!? [15:16] against skype itself? [15:16] gord: ^ I'm assuming this is an indicator issue of some sort right? [15:16] no other indicators do it [15:17] it's the application that paints it isn't it? [15:17] popey: no idea [15:17] do skype have their own indicator now? [15:17] or is it systray [15:17] yeah [15:17] oh, dunno [15:17] how does one tell? [15:18] gord: pass is there a way to tell and popey beat me to it [15:18] gord: it is systray [15:19] gord: are there any other systray using apps? [15:19] not sure how to check in a good way, if its systray then its a skype issue [15:19] you have to whitelist it, or it might be a default whitelisted systray thing [15:19] matter of opinion [15:20] someone should write an indicator to contain all the systray icons [15:20] in fact that should have been the first indicator written [15:21] thats not how indicators work [15:22] indicators are a dbus protocol really, systray is an xwindow [15:26] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPh-3c9TqUg [15:35] there's a skype deb in the partner repo for precise now [15:35] but i still can't install it from the dash [15:36] also why back to two versions? [15:36] there's a skype-bin too now [15:36] or wait i see [15:36] metapackages i guess [15:36] skype-bin:i386 is what I'm running [15:36] works okay [15:36] yes [15:37] for a couple of weeks now i got no skype indicator at all btw [15:37] but i did a fresh install since then, testing it now [15:39] still no indicator for me [15:40] and then it crashed [15:40] I am looking forward to giving my laptop 12.04 and the SSD [15:40] Actually, if skype is working, it might be ready now [15:40] then i tried to report the bug and got "The report belongs to a package that is not installed." [15:42] * bigcalm sucks down the daily :) [15:43] skype has always worked [15:43] it actually works slightly less now than it did two weeks ago [15:43] Skype has not always worked for me in 12.04 [15:43] bigcalm: I'd do a fresh install though dude [15:43] davmor2: will do [15:44] davmor2: not sure if can go to the lug this week. I _really_ need to get work done on Thursday [15:44] ali1234: it only landed in precise this morning [15:44] the deb file is marked march 30th [15:44] also it is exactly the same as the oneiric deb [15:45] and all the others [15:45] if you upgraded from oneiric you kept skype installed, and it worked [15:45] you could also install the old deb with dpkg [15:46] ali1234: it's not the same as the oneiric one it is a freshly package i386 multiarch supporting version now, how exactly is it the same? [15:47] same software, different package [15:47] popey: ah that makes sense [15:47] well firstly the oneiric package was multiarch too [15:47] secondly, the skype binary hasn't changed since lucid [15:48] ali1234: nope it wasn't there were 32 and 64bit versions [15:48] wrong [15:48] there has never been a 64 bit ckype binary for linux [15:48] the 64 bit package only exists in pre-multiarch distros, because its the only way to install a 32 bit binary with dependencies on 32 bit libs [15:49] ali1234: I work on the team dealing with it, trust me I know there was a 32bit version and then a 32bit app with a 64bit wrapper, this is the first time it has been purely 32bit multiarch [15:50] jeez, no wonder it doesn't work :/ [15:50] so tell me, how did oneiric 64 bit manage to work, if skype was not previously multiarch? [15:50] considering that there is *only* a 32 bit package? [15:52] ali1234: the 64bit version was the 32bit app with the 32bit libs installed + redirects for the app to use those libs instead of the 64bit ones not pretty [15:53] that's pretty much the exact definition of multiarch [15:54] ali1234: no multiarch can use any libs 64bit or 32bit on the same system no brute forcing [15:54] yeah, exactly like skype did on oneiric [15:56] http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/s/skype/skype_2.2.0.35-0oneiric2_i386.deb [15:56] dependencies: Depends: libasound2 (>> 1.0.24.1), libc6 (>= 2.4), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), libqt4-dbus (>= 4:4.5.3), libqt4-network (>= 4:4.5.3), libqtcore4 (>= 4:4.5.3), libqtgui4 (>= 4:4.5.3), libstdc++6 (>= 4.2.1), libx11-6, libxext6, libxss1, libxv1 [15:56] there is NO other skype package for oneiric [15:56] the only way to install that on 64 bit is by making use of multiarch libraries [16:00] also, that package and the new skype-bin package contains exactly the same files, the only difference is the copyright file in /usr/share/doc was moved to represent the new package name [16:04] * MartijnVdS had a 2.1GB "whoopsie" daemon running [16:04] Memory leaks-- [16:24] * bigcalm eyes jockey-gtk.

[16:30] Getting that as well here [16:37] Maybe right now wasn't the best time to start downloading things [16:38] I was hoping that it being Easter break for schools, the load would be spread over the day [16:39] bigcalm: what's your predo for the game tonight? [16:39] OmNomDeBonBon: what game? [16:40] Utd - Rovers [16:40] At Ewood Park. [16:40] OmNomDeBonBon: footballs is something I don't follow, so have no idea :) [16:42] I thought that skype was available to install via the software centre now? [16:42] bigcalm there's probably a Sky Sports app you can download. [16:43] not yet [16:43] i installed it today from USC [16:43] OmNomDeBonBon: again, I don't follow football. So I really don't care :) Are you confusing my nick for somebody else's? [16:44] Maybe, maybe. [16:44] i tried to install it from the dash bookshelf thing, and no result were found [16:45] still the same [16:46] also not found in software center [16:48] openjdk isn't there either [16:48] How strange [16:49] bigcalm: skype is in partner.
