knomeastraljava, probably :)08:07
mr_pouitastraljava: xfce4-volumed will take the first mixer returned by gst when there's nothing in xfconf08:43
mr_pouitastraljava: so I force it to preselect the pulsegstmixer instead08:47
astraljavamr_pouit: Right, but when xfconf has something, it never even gets to that part. This happens on both my test machines.09:18
astraljavaknome: Yep, let's see. I still haven't heard from the agent who was supposed to handle that one apt case, so no idea whether I have to come down there earlier, yet.09:19
mr_pouityeah, I didn't want to override user settings09:19
mr_pouitxfce4-volumed is autostarted, whereas xfce4-mixer must be launched manually from the menu, so I assume that xfce4-volumed will always see an empty channel the first time09:20
mr_pouit(or from the panel plugin, but we don't have it in our default layout anymore)09:20
mr_pouitknome: daily/amd64 oversized for a several days09:22
astraljavaHmm... but what sets that value for xfconf? I don't know XFCE that well, yet. :)09:22
mr_pouitxfce4-mixer when you start it (or change the active card in the ui)09:23
mr_pouit(or xfce4-volumed when it starts)09:23
astraljavaOkay, and now that for new installs we don't have xfce4-mixer launched from the panel plugin, it's going to be volumed. Ok, I'll do a fresh install and see how it works. Oh wait, that change isn't in the images, yet. Damn.09:24
astraljavamr_pouit: Would it emulate a fresh install if I manually cleared the xfconf value?09:25
astraljava...or is it even possible?09:25
astraljavaThere seems to be a --reset switch. I'll try. :)09:26
mr_pouityep09:28
mr_pouitxfconf-query -r -R -c xfce4-mixer -p /09:28
mr_pouit(or something like that)09:28
astraljavaIT WORKS!09:34
astraljava*ahem*09:34
astraljavaLionel, I could embrace you now.09:34
mr_pouithihi09:36
astraljavaWell, lots of time wasted, but at least I know now much better how these sound settings work in XFCE, so a valuable lesson for the future.09:36
ochosihi everyone13:25
astraljavao/13:27
ochosihey astraljava 13:27
ochosii saw you investigated our sound troubles a bit :)13:27
astraljavaI did, but I was too clueless so didn't really make any other progress than educating myself. :)13:29
ochosiheh13:31
ochosiwell the fact that we have a half-working implementation is good enough imo13:31
ochosi(before it wasn't working at all if you ask me)13:31
astraljavaYes, totally. And it seemed to be fully working when I emulated a fresh install.13:35
ochosithe only thing i'm kinda worried about with pulse is that it completely steps away from the "channel" concept13:35
ochosimeaning: if you have some obscure channel (say: PC speaker) and you want it to be muted, there's no easy way to do that (other than using alsamixer from term)13:36
ochosibut yeah, in a way that's a different story13:36
astraljavaTrue.13:39
=== yofel_ is now known as yofel
knomemr_pouit, is it our mistake, or is it something the ubuntu folks pulled in?14:07
mr_pouitno idea, daily-live images seem fine14:10
mr_pouitbut alternate images gained +20M since beta2 :s14:10
mr_pouit~30M actually14:11
knomehuho14:19
knomecould you investigate that a bit to see what it is?14:19
astraljavamr_pouit: If I am not mistaken, today at 2100 UTC there's the non-language-pack translations freeze. I haven't heard from the Debian maintainer of abiword in a week, so do you think I should get the translations debdiff in now, so it makes it before the freeze still?14:19
ochosihmm, i think i'll quickly upgrade my test precise and check everything14:20
mr_pouitknome: nope, nothing obvious (from comparing the file list)14:36
knome:/14:37
mr_pouitastraljava: yeah, I think14:37
astraljavamr_pouit: Ok, I'll get right on it.14:39
astraljava...after dinner. :)14:39
mr_pouitknome: happened between 20120407 and 2012040814:47
knomeaha14:47
mr_pouitmmh, no, 06 and 0714:47
mr_pouit dists/precise/main/binary-i386/: New 1948kB 1262 files 558MB 21s14:47
mr_pouitand the next day:14:47
mr_pouit dists/precise/main/binary-i386/: New 1949kB 1262 files 578MB 21s14:47
knomehuh?14:47
knomecan you pin it down to something even more specific14:48
mr_pouitmeh14:52
mr_pouitlanguage-pack-de?14:52
mr_pouitnot sure14:52
mr_pouitno, ignore that14:53
mr_pouitall language packs actually14:56
malaverdiereGood morning15:00
malaverdiereI would like to report a bug in the beta15:00
malaverdiereI don't see your bug tracker on launchpad though15:00
mr_pouitknome: before: 39k for all langpacks (empty, obviously) ; now: 20M15:07
mr_pouitso we'll have to make some sacrifices ;-)15:08
mr_pouitmalaverdiere: hi, we use the same bugtracker as ubuntu, just report your bug against the affected package like you would do for ubuntu (if you're not sure of the package, feel free to ask).15:09
malaverdiereI am unable to hibernate15:10
malaverdierewhich package is that?15:10
mr_pouitthe "hibernate" menu is greyed out?15:13
mr_pouit(hibernation should be disabled by default in precise, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-desktop-privileges/+bug/812394 for more info)15:17
ubottuLaunchpad bug 812394 in Ayatana Design "Disable hibernate option by default" [High,Fix released]15:17
malaverdiereit it not greyed out15:17
malaverdiereI get "not authorized"15:17
malaverdiereI'll look at this bug report15:18
ochosimeh, which package do i need for thunars network browsing again?15:44
ochosistrange, i do have gvfs installed15:47
leo-unglaubhey, did you changes the shortcut for locking the screen?15:49
leo-unglaubcontrol + alt + enf is not working in 12.0415:49
ochosidon't think we touched that15:49
ochosii can test that a bit later if you like15:49
leo-unglaubthat would be nice15:50
malaverdieremr_pouit: which bug is the one for the fact that it is not greyed out when disabled?15:53
astraljavaleo-unglaub: Is that an upgrade from oneiric, or a fresh precise install?16:07
leo-unglaubastraljava: dist-upgrade16:08
astraljavaleo-unglaub: I seem to have xflock4 set on <Control><Alt>Delete and otherwise the same but <Primary> instead of <Control>. No idea why there are two.16:09
leo-unglaubxflock4 is set to the values16:10
leo-unglaubalso the return to the default values didn't helped me16:10
astraljavaleo-unglaub: Does it work if you try it from terminal?16:11
leo-unglaubyes it works16:12
leo-unglaubbut i just realized that all my other short cuts are also not working16:12
leo-unglaubastraljava: now i resettet all xfce settings16:14
leo-unglauband now they work again16:14
leo-unglaubbut all my custom short cuts are gone16:14
leo-unglauband i idiot forgott to save the strace of the error16:14
leo-unglaubdamn me16:14
astraljavaYeah, that's the sad part. One thing I seem to have noticed that changed from oneiric is that ctrl key register as Primary now. Maybe it had something to do with that.16:15
astraljavaBut I'm not sure, my recollection there is a bit hazy.16:15
leo-unglaub..16:15
leo-unglaubich will setup a old version and upgrade in a vm to retry this16:16
leo-unglaubsorry16:16
astraljavaleo-unglaub: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1008229#p1008229 seems to suggest the same.16:16
astraljavaBut then that's Arch, so not sure about the versions and stuff.16:16
astraljavamr_pouit: Do you have time to check the patch before I'll try and make the debdiff? This is huge. 37MB, sort of sounds like way too big a change to be checked reliably. http://astraljava.kapsi.fi/abiword_translations_update.patch16:22
astraljavaHmm... seems like I'd have to restrict the patch somewhat, there are scripts and such inside that directory. Uno momento por favor, I'll finetune this a bit16:25
astraljavaOk, so it seems it has to be limited to *.po files only.16:25
astraljavaStill huge, but not including the scripts etc. I wonder what I'm doing wrong.16:34
astraljavamr_pouit: I don't think it's possible. There are string changes that haven't crept their way into the application.16:44
knomemicahg, ohmy :P17:59
micahgknome: what did I do?18:06
micahgmr_pouit: the langpacks should have one more respin for -base to get the size down I think18:07
* astraljava wonders if it's time to apply for a ubuntu membership already21:55
ochosiastraljava: i've been wondering about that for a long time, but never got around to do it22:05
astraljavaI've always thought I'm too off-and-on to deserve the title, but I suppose now with these new positions and much more contribution, I could actually think about it. I'm also contemplating on applying for BuqSquad and BugControl.22:06
ochosimhm, i'm hesitant because it implies spending even more time than i'm spending already22:08
ochosi(and i'm not too sure about the benefits apart from being able to blog to planet-ubuntu)22:10
astraljavaDuring the precise cycle I for the first time really felt that my contributions to the project really mattered, so that's maybe why I've started to think about the membership.22:14
astraljavaI don't think I need to do more than what I've done now, cycle-wise.22:14
astraljavaBut yeah, I kinda want to, hence the bug teams.22:15
astraljavaAnd besides, I still aim for my masters. You know, Master of the Universe. :D22:15
ochosi:)22:16
ochosiwhat masters are you doing?22:16
astraljavaI'm still on my bachelor's, actually, but while I intend to continue studies after that, yeah, probably will be a MOTU before I get my Master of Economy papers. :)22:18
ochosi:)22:18
ochosii think my main goal for now is to find someone else to work alongside me on the artwork stuff22:20
ochosi(and maybe ultimately replace me)22:20
astraljavaWhy, are you going somewhere? ;)22:21
ochosinah, but i figure after a few more releases i might get tired of rewriting the same theme for every release ;)22:22
astraljavaWell yeah, I hear ya. It's a bit different than with these ever-changing bits of software. I bet Scott'll change DEs every few releases just to see when I snap. :D22:23
ochosi:)22:24
ochosiwell even if you stick to xfce the road ahead looks quite bumpy22:24
ochosi(unless of course the gtk3 port goes unexpectedly fast and smooth)22:24
Unit193Hah.22:25
ochosihey Unit193 22:25
astraljavaTrue, I haven't really followed that much the 4010 development, but what I hear sounds challenging. :)22:25
* Unit193 runs22:25
Unit193What's up, ochosi?22:26
ochosiastraljava: well, xfce is not the problem, it's ubuntu22:26
ochosiUnit193: nothing much, i'm happy that this cycle is coming to an end tbh22:27
ochosi(although i guess that means we should draft ideas for 12.10 soon)22:27
Unit193Ah, wasn't sure if that was a greeting, or a calling.22:27
ochosi:)22:27
ochosithe former22:27
ochosia-ha, seƱor GridCube is here as well22:28
Unit193Well, GTK3 is scheduled for after 4.10, so will it even hit 12.10?22:28
ochosinope22:29
ochosii don't think that is at all realistic22:29
GridCubemr ochosi ?22:29
GridCubethis be a meeting?22:29
Unit193Nope, not unless I'm being quiet.22:29
ochosiGridCube: sry, seems i'm in the mood to greet everyone tonight :)22:29
GridCube;)22:30
GridCubeoh okay22:30
GridCubewhen is the next meeting btw22:30
Unit193If I'm silent and there is real talking going on, could be a meeting.22:30
ochosinot sure when the next meeting is. knome?22:30
GridCubeit feels this cycle we had next to none22:31
ochosiwell no, in the beginning of the cycle we did have a few22:31
ochosibut they got less frequent, that is true22:31
ochosiseems like the latest update to flashplugin broke its colors22:35
ochosiall the faces of people have a blue hue now22:35
ochosiand no (easy) way to downgrade it seems22:35
astraljavaochosi: Oh, so it wasn't just for my system? Damn...22:36
ochosiyeah, pretty nasty if you ask me#22:37
Unit193Working on oneiric for me. :D22:37
ochosilucky you22:37
Unit193It's because I have adobe-flashplugin from partner repo.22:38
astraljavaI just read somewhere that it's the last update for flash in linux. 0_o22:38
astraljavaAdobe is pulling the support. But this might just have been FUD, so take it with a grain of salt.22:39
ochosiyes, that's fun, no?22:39
ochosifor newer versions of flash you'll have to use chromium22:39
ochosi:/22:39
astraljavaWell, just as long as HTML5 is soon there, then sure I won't miss flash one bit.22:39
Unit193astraljava: 11 will be last, supported for a while.22:39
Unit193ochosi: Chrome.22:39
GridCubeD:22:41
GridCubethis is all news to me22:41
astraljavaYeah, well, a lot of people were unhappy with Flash, and especially with Apple's decision not to support it, things started to happen.22:45
GridCubeyes i see, but the problem is that 1) not having flash will make it a gazillion times harder to sell linux to newcommers and 2) html still lags as hell even using modern video cards22:48
Unit1933. Crush the Castle doesn't work with only HTML(5)22:49
GridCube^^^ 22:50
astraljavaTough luck. It's still more about open standards. We have to excel in other areas than ridiculous internet games. :D22:53
Unit193But this was the orig angry birds, and better too! ;)22:54
GridCubeastraljava, but thats what people want22:58
GridCubepeople want a computar they can plug in and play games, see videos and internet22:58
astraljavaI doubt those people would want a linux-powered machine anyhoo, OMG IT DON'T HAVE WAREZ!!!22:59
astraljavaBut yeah, not suitable for this channel. Done with the subject.23:00
GridCubeastraljava, thats a point i can sell with: Warez? Cracks? dude, sudo apt-get and install free programs for free!!!23:00
* GridCube seconds23:00
ochosihm, anyway, if any of you figure out a solution for the blue flash video be sure to let me know23:01
ochosii'm off for now, have a nice evening!23:02
GridCubeochosi, tried using flash-aid for firefox addon?23:03
malaverdiereHello, I have another bug to report, and I am not sure of the package23:21
malaverdiereThis time it is about the keyboard layout management23:22
pleia2go ahead and describe it, even if no one is around who knows where to report it the devs will read the backlog23:27
malaverdierepleia2: my default system setting is en-us. I need the layout fr-ca23:33
malaverdiereI am on Xubuntu 12.04 beta 223:33
malaverdiereI added the keyboard layout switcher to the upper area (where the clock is)23:33
malaverdiereAnd I added the french canadian layout by right-clicking on the layout switcher and choosing Properties23:34
malaverdiereThe problem is that the setting doesn't stick accross reboots23:34
pleia2thanks, I'm not sure where to file that, but I'll see if I can duplicate on my test 12.04 system23:36
malaverdierethanks for looking into it23:37
ochosiastraljava: seems that blue faces bug only affects youtube...23:43
ochosimalaverdiere: have you tried setting the default layout via settings manager > keyboard > layout?23:44
malaverdiereI had done that.23:45
malaverdiereI unchecked "use system defaults" and added the Canadian Multilingual layout23:45
malaverdiereHowever, that wasn't picked up by the layout switcher, hence why I set it there too23:46
ochosiah ok23:46
ochosinot sure, last time i used the layout-switcher it was pretty buggy (but that was a long time ago)23:46
malaverdiereochosi: is there an alternative? I need to be able to change layout easily23:46
astraljavaochosi: Funny, I only tried with youtube. :)23:47
* malaverdiere writes LaTeX in French23:47
ochosimalaverdiere: you can use a keyboard-shortcut23:47
ochosimalaverdiere: maybe there's also an indicator, i dunno23:47
malaverdiereany clue which package to file the bug against?23:49
malaverdiereif I may change topic for a sec... update manager tells me that libreoffice needs to be updated, but is greying them out...23:50
ochosithat means that you can't update those packages yet because of e.g. some broken dependencies23:52
malaverdiereo.023:52
ochosicould be that libreoffice demands newer versions of other packages as well23:52
GridCube!info zenity23:52
ubottuzenity (source: zenity): Display graphical dialog boxes from shell scripts. In component main, is optional. Version 3.2.0-0ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 61 kB, installed size 348 kB23:52
GridCubemmm not that23:52
ochosibut those probably haven't been updated just yet in the repos23:52
malaverdiereI was about to say that... mirror seeding I guess23:53
astraljavamalaverdiere: It's not uncommon for packages to be not in-sync during the dev cycle. Be patient, they will resort the archives in a matter of hours. You can also try another mirror (or the official archive) if yours is lagging behind.23:53
malaverdiereastaljava: good to know that its not another bug :)23:53
malaverdiereubottu: zenity is the package I should file the bug against?23:53
Unit193ubottu: is a bot23:54
ubottuYes, I can confirm that I am a bot. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots for all information.23:54
ochosimalaverdiere: ubottu is just a bot. and no, that's definitely not the package you're looking for ;)23:54
astraljavamalaverdiere: Also a tip for IRC: tab-complete the nicks, highlighting works much better when it's spot-on instead of almost-there. :)23:54
malaverdiereastraljava: ooooo23:55
* malaverdiere likes that feature23:55
astraljava!botsnack | Unit19323:55
ubottuUnit193: Yum! Err, I mean, APT!23:55
astraljavaNoooo....23:55
ochosiastraljava: you're not highlighted on astaljava? (probably you should add that to your highlight-list)23:55
astraljavaBad bot. Bad.23:55

GridCubeif imput method switcher is the program you been using malaverdiere 23:56
malaverdiereGridCube: ... I thought it would be some XFCE specific thing...23:56
astraljavaochosi: I'm annoying like that, I strive for perfection. :D23:56

ochosiastraljava: what a noble quest :)23:56
malaverdiereGridCube: I am using whatever is the default in Xubuntu beta :)23:56
