| dogmatic69 | ls -al .fonts/ | wc -l | 00:11 |
|---|---|---|
| dogmatic69 | that would give a count of files right? | 00:11 |
| dwatkins | including . and .. | 00:13 |
| dwatkins | but the count would also be incorrect as you're doing a long listing, use -1 (number one) to show just filenames, dogmatic69 | 00:14 |
| dogmatic69 | ye, also extra line at the top | 00:14 |
| dogmatic69 | ah, that is better | 00:14 |
| dogmatic69 | just has the extra line now, think its file size | 00:15 |
| dogmatic69 | ls -l .fonts/ | wc -l == ? | 00:15 |
| dogmatic69 | 4543 :D | 00:15 |
| dogmatic69 | can I complain about inkskape taking 5 minutes to open? | 00:15 |

| dwatkins | strace -fro /tmp/inkscape.trace path/to/inkscape/binary | 00:23 |
| dogmatic69 | ? | 00:23 |
| dwatkins | start inkscape up like that, then examine the trace file to see what's hapenning before and after the delay | 00:24 |
| dogmatic69 | doing it now | 00:24 |
| dogmatic69 | (inkscape:10054): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap", | 00:24 |
| dogmatic69 | done that 4x and stuck now | 00:25 |
| dogmatic69 | need a ajax loading thingy | 00:25 |
| dogmatic69 | 2.6MB file | 00:27 |
| dogmatic69 | dwatkins: its doing stat on virtually the entire hdd | 00:29 |
| dwatkins | eh? | 00:30 |
| dogmatic69 | in that trace, there are masses of stat("/path/to/random/files") | 00:30 |
| dwatkins | ok, that may or may not be the problem | 00:31 |
| dogmatic69 | all sorts, images, svgs, documents, configs in .evolution etc | 00:31 |
| dogmatic69 | also on my mapped network drive which could be the problem | 00:31 |
| dwatkins | might be worth looking up bugs relating to delays starting inkscape, dogmatic69 | 00:31 |
| dogmatic69 | 2300+ calls to stat | 00:32 |
| dwatkins | bug 488247 might be worth a read, dogmatic69 | 00:33 |

| dogmatic69 | should be an easy one | 00:42 |

| * dwatkins hands brobostigon a small plastic dinosaur holding a cupcake | 09:58 | |
| * brobostigon takes the dinosaur, and plays with it on his desk, and make dinosaur type noises. | 09:59 | |
| gordonjcp | and we shall call this land "our land" | 10:00 |
| popey | hah | 10:00 |
| SuperEngineer | a quick question re 12.04... I have no "system" [alert] sounds though all sound tests check out ok. | 10:17 |
| SuperEngineer | am I experiencing a bug or experiencing intended behaviour? | 10:17 |
| StevenR | SuperEngineer: are system alert sounds enabled? | 10:27 |
| StevenR | (I have them disabled, but I guess that's not the default) | 10:28 |
| SuperEngineer | yes - and test out ok, the directory is there, the sounds are there, all programs using sound are ok. | 10:29 |
| SuperEngineer | StevenR, in fact I have just gone back to sound settings & they *all* work from there, but not in 'real' use. | 10:33 |
| * StevenR goes to grab an iso to spin up a test vm | 10:34 | |
| SuperEngineer | cheers StevenR | 10:35 |
| StevenR | eta 15 mins probably | 10:35 |
| StevenR | (iso in 5, VM in another 10 or so) | 10:36 |
| SuperEngineer | btw... the System Ready sound is ok, the "Ubuntu wiggle" desktop sound I hear rumoured is disabled to keep the ISO to Cd size [even though still included!] so that is dubious - but *no* other alert sounds work at all in real use | 10:38 |
| gordonjcp | man I'd love it if all the alert sounds would stay disabled | 10:39 |
| SuperEngineer | gordonjcp, - then disable them? | 10:39 |
| gordonjcp | SuperEngineer: they don't stay disabled | 10:40 |
| gordonjcp | they need to be *gone* | 10:40 |
| SuperEngineer | gordonjcp, it appearsa you the "reverse" of my fault ;) | 10:40 |
| gordonjcp | it's bloody annoying | 10:40 |
| SuperEngineer | gordonjcp, - then disable them by removing the folder holding them? | 10:41 |
| gordonjcp | why would you want your computer to make silly noises all the time? | 10:41 |
| gordonjcp | SuperEngineer: because when you update Ubuntu, they come back | 10:41 |
| gordonjcp | and doing an update appears to reset them all back to enabled | 10:42 |
| SuperEngineer | gordonjcp, oh - didn't think of that | 10:42 |
| gordonjcp | what I ended up doing was setting all the sounds to zero-length files and setting them immutable | 10:42 |
| * SuperEngineer puts on dunces hat | 10:42 | |
| SuperEngineer | ...but if personally like the occasional 'blob' sound or real alert when needed. | 10:43 |
| SuperEngineer | *but I | 10:43 |
| gordonjcp | I'm sure the resetting it back to defaults is a bug | 10:43 |
| gordonjcp | SuperEngineer: I don't, because it comes through the speakers | 10:44 |
| gordonjcp | and interrupts whatever else is playing | 10:44 |
| gordonjcp | bloody irritating, you're playing some music, a window pops open for something with an earsplitting "WHOOONK!" | 10:45 |
| SuperEngineer | then stop making errors causing alerts or closing programs or doing other normal things ! | 10:45 |
| gordonjcp | also, the pulseaudio thing is stupid | 10:45 |
| gordonjcp | why would you want two programs to make noises at the same time, especially when the sound plays about ten seconds after the app actually fires the event | 10:45 |
| SuperEngineer | ...as per several previous - it's not a problem for me... alert sounds are not working ;) | 10:46 |
| SuperEngineer | gordonjcp, just a thought... are your "annoying" system sounds in 12.04 or older distro? | 10:54 |
| gordonjcp | 11.10 | 10:54 |
| SuperEngineer | ah! | 10:54 |
| gordonjcp | I tried 12.04 on my desktop but I only have 2G of RAM | 10:55 |
| gordonjcp | so I can't even get a desktop up | 10:55 |
| * StevenR watches the VM's installer progress bar *creep* across the window | 10:55 | |
| * SuperEngineer hands gordonjcp a plate full of sympathy | 10:55 | |
| SuperEngineer | StevenR, don't let it hear you call it a "creep" - it will fail in retaliation! | 10:56 |
| gordonjcp | SuperEngineer: I really hope that the final version of 12.04 needs less memory | 10:57 |
| gordonjcp | SuperEngineer: I've got it "running" on a core i5 at work with 4G, it's kind of usable | 10:57 |
| gordonjcp | as long as you don't open any programs | 10:57 |
| dwatkins | 12.04 needs more than a gig or RAM? wow | 10:58 |
| gordonjcp | it appears to need more than 2G | 10:59 |
| * StevenR allocated 4G for the vm | 10:59 | |
| StevenR | *sigh* it's still installing :S | 11:00 |
| SuperEngineer | gordonjcp, just a thought - i've only got the same as you - it's fine - apart from the alert sounds | 11:01 |
| SuperEngineer | [as in - fine & fast] | 11:02 |
| StevenR | oh. wow. that booted up rather fast | 11:03 |
| SuperEngineer | ;) | 11:03 |
| SuperEngineer | gordonjcp, I'd be having a looksee inside the pooter itself if I were your good self | 11:05 |
| * StevenR runs updates | 11:05 | |
| StevenR | SuperEngineer: alert volume turned up? | 11:06 |
| SuperEngineer | StevenR, yup | 11:06 |
| gordonjcp | SuperEngineer: for what? | 11:07 |
| StevenR | SuperEngineer: ~/.xsession-errors show anything failing? | 11:07 |
| SuperEngineer | [only to 100% - not tried higher - though that shouldn't be neccessay if it's not a bug] | 11:07 |
| SuperEngineer | StevenR, hang on pretty please - I'll have a looksee | 11:08 |
| dwatkins | 12.04 is using just under 1 GB of RAM on my virtual machine, which has 1 GB allocated to it. | 11:08 |
| StevenR | dwatkins: is that the "free" or -buffers/cache value? (see free -mt) | 11:09 |
| StevenR | the kernel will cache as much as it can | 11:10 |
| dwatkins | StevenR: http://paste.ubuntu.com/930847/ | 11:11 |
| StevenR | dwatkins: so actually using 403MB | 11:11 |
| StevenR | :D | 11:11 |
| dwatkins | yeah, so 'using' in the sense there's a lot of cache, yeah | 11:11 |
| dwatkins | I couldn't say how much swap was used during installation, of course | 11:12 |
| StevenR | SuperEngineer: tried a different sound theme? | 11:13 |
| SuperEngineer | StevenR, tried them all | 11:13 |
| StevenR | :( | 11:14 |
| StevenR | SuperEngineer: is this an upgrade or fresh install? HAve you tried a new user? | 11:14 |
| SuperEngineer | StevenR, the only stuff showing in xseesion-error relate to video with Cairo dock - which is working fine actually - nothing that could be related to a sound or sound related call | 11:15 |
| SuperEngineer | [in fact *everything* shown in xsession-errors & .old are *all* actually working 100% | 11:17 |
| SuperEngineer | StevenR, thias is a fresh install from beta1 onwards | 11:17 |
| SuperEngineer | fully uodated | 11:17 |
| StevenR | maybe try a fresh "test user" ? | 11:18 |
| SuperEngineer | yeh... that could worth a try [but I'm not expecting much difference] ;) | 11:19 |

| zleap | hello | 15:30 |
| ali1234 | can i get apt to automatically install build-dep whenever i install a package? | 16:10 |
| tsimpson | I suspect the answer is "no", because that would be an odd thing for it to do | 16:19 |
| ali1234 | why would it be odd? | 16:19 |
| tsimpson | what would be the purpose if that? | 16:19 |
| ali1234 | what i really want to do is recursively install build dependencies for everything | 16:19 |
| tsimpson | but, why? | 16:20 |
| ali1234 | because i hate waiting for build-deps to download | 16:20 |
| tsimpson | no, why do you need build dependencies for *everything*? | 16:20 |
| ali1234 | so that i'll never have to get interrupted waiting for build-deps in the middle of trying to do something | 16:20 |
| tsimpson | installing build-deps is fine, but build-deps of build-deps etc, seems insane to me | 16:21 |
| tsimpson | but, if you really want to, you could create a script named apt-get in ~/bin/ that intercepts the apt-get command and also installs build-deps etc | 16:21 |
| tsimpson | ie: I doubt anyone has published a tool to do that already, so you'd have to make it yourself | 16:22 |
| AlanBell | could do it as a bash alias | 16:27 |
| dwatkins | What am I missing not installing build-deps? I don't tend to compile from source. | 16:29 |
| shauno | you could probably wrangle something with DPkg::Post-Invoke, but I'd be really quite cautious of sending dpkg into a loop | 16:32 |
| penguin42 | ali1234: IMHO it would be more useful to get dpkg-buildpackage to install the build-deps when it realises they're not there | 16:35 |
| ali1234 | unless i don't want to recompile with dpkg | 16:35 |
| penguin42 | ah well if you're building it and configuring it different then it might have different build-deps | 16:36 |
| ali1234 | yeah | 16:36 |
| ali1234 | which is why i want as many as possible already installed | 16:36 |
| ali1234 | because then i'll have to wait for less to install | 16:36 |

| Azelphur | MartijnVdS: haha, we would use bitcoins but he needs to purchase stuff from retailers that only accept USD | 18:22 |
| MartijnVdS | So.. direct bank transfer? | 18:22 |
| Azelphur | although it is bitcoin related business | 18:22 |
| MartijnVdS | (those are instant in .nl, don't know about the UK) | 18:22 |
| Azelphur | could do, but I dunno how well banks do with the whole currency conversion thing? | 18:22 |
| MartijnVdS | It's their job ;) | 18:22 |
| MartijnVdS | But sending money to another country might take longer | 18:23 |

| Azelphur | he's canada, I'm UK | 18:24 |
| MartijnVdS | Canada, that's better than the US ;) | 18:24 |
| Azelphur | luckily paypal lets him refund recent transactions | 18:25 |
| Azelphur | or they would have eaten $1000 of mine :/ | 18:25 |
| Azelphur | refunded it all back to me and I'll send it to him a different way haha | 18:25 |
| MartijnVdS | Azelphur: My bank has a page (one for each country) on how to wire money there | 18:25 |

| ali1234 | i can't click on anything at all | 21:06 |
| ali1234 | i can press windows-tab to get to launcher icons | 21:07 |
| ali1234 | i can click on things inside the focused window but clicking n a different window does nothing | 21:07 |
| ali1234 | can only change by windows-tab through launcher icons | 21:07 |
| ali1234 | this is really weird | 21:09 |
| ali1234 | well that was odd | 21:13 |
| daftykins | 0o | 21:13 |
| jacobw | i've experienced that before when using a usb mouse in gtk environment | 21:15 |
| ali1234 | i use a usb mouse in gtk all day every day | 21:15 |
| jacobw | i think the mouse button events are trapped by some window level | 21:15 |
| ali1234 | yeah, it;s saomething to do with this SDL program i was just using for sure | 21:16 |
| ali1234 | it grabs the mouse | 21:16 |
| ali1234 | can't seem to reproduce it though | 21:16 |
| daftykins | i'm sure you will when you next really need to get something done D | 21:17 |
| daftykins | * :D | 21:17 |
| ali1234 | it was something to do with window focus | 21:17 |
| ali1234 | cos i had to alt-f4 all windows until there were none, then i could click unity stuff... when it got focus by default | 21:17 |
| jacobw | the only correlation i've noticed is with using gimp | 21:18 |
| ali1234 | then i could log out and log in again | 21:18 |
| jacobw | so i find window focus plausible | 21:18 |
| bigcalm | Western Digital or Seagate for 2 x 500gb SATA3 drives? | 21:43 |
| daftykins | always been a WD fan myself but i don't think it really makes any difference | 21:43 |
| bigcalm | Ta | 21:49 |
| popey | bigcalm: buy one of each | 21:53 |
| bigcalm | For a raid | 21:53 |
| popey | less likely they'll both fail at the same time | 21:53 |
| popey | exactly | 21:53 |
| bigcalm | Ah | 21:53 |
| bigcalm | You have a good point :) | 21:53 |
| popey | i have had two drives from the same batch fail within a month or so of eachother | 21:53 |
| bigcalm | Obviously you haven't been drinking 8.5% alc Belgium beer | 21:54 |
| popey | ☺ | 21:54 |
| popey | 12.5% red wine actually | 21:54 |
| bigcalm | (best time to make online purchases) | 21:54 |
| bigcalm | I think the CO2 in the beer attaches the alc to hemoglobin. Thus a half pint of shandy will induce the same state as a pint of beer in the short term | 21:56 |
| daftykins | haha | 21:56 |
| daftykins | my friend got drunk enough the other night and woke up to confirmation order emails | 21:56 |
| bigcalm | Damn, if I can pontificate about this, I haven't drunk enough | 21:56 |
| daftykins | ;D | 21:56 |
| daftykins | back to the fridge with you! responsibly i mean... | 21:56 |
| bigcalm | I've ordered 8gb of ram, now for the hard drives | 21:57 |
| popey | i ordered 3 ubuntu t-shirts whilst drunk once | 21:57 |
| popey | they were withdrawn from sale the next day | 21:57 |
| popey | so i have 3 of 72 that were sold ☺ | 21:57 |
| daftykins | drunken popey dancing on the table with a laptop going CLOTH ME CANONICAL! | 21:58 |
| daftykins | sounds amusing :> | 21:58 |
