RAOFBoo. system-config-printer requires the user to be in the lpadmin group, or it pops up an *entirely* unhelpful login dialog.00:37
jbichaRAOF: and normal users aren't in that group by default, right?00:41
RAOFCorrect.00:41
RAOFSo, by default, no one on a freshly installed Ubuntu system will be able to add a printer.00:41
jbichayeah, that's a nasty bug that we've had for a while00:41
jbichathe first user is special though, isn't it?00:41
RAOFNo.00:41
jbichaoh maybe I'm confused by a different bug then00:42
RAOFGot a bug reference? Or shall I file one.00:42
jbichamaybe I was thinking of bug 65313200:44

robruAnybody else blown away by the quality of LibreOffice? I'd been avoiding trying it for *so long* because I had such a poor opinion of OpenOffice, but I'm just trying it now for the first time and it's just so sexy!03:23
topylirobru: it has improved hugely. i had to create some slides for a presentation and thus forced to use it. i've always thought openoffice was a bit meh. but these days, it's actually pretty nice. also, its RAM footprint is *way* smaller than it used to be05:39
robrutopyli: yeah! I'd been using Abiword all this time just for the smaller RAM footprint, but lately I've been having lots of problems with AbiWord generally rendering things wrong, screwing up formatting, and now crashing... so I gave LibreOffice a try and I'm quite impressive.05:50
topylirobru: yes i don't know why but abiword is a rare example of things actually getting worse rather than better05:51
robruglad I'm not the only one suffering. But now that LibreOffice is so much better I guess it doesn't matter. Have you used the spreadsheet much? Does it compare to Gnumeric? (I've only used Gnumeric and I've never had a single problem with it)05:52
topylii don't use spreadsheet stuff enough to compare, but from what i hear gnumeric is still king05:53
robruahhh05:53
robrutopyli, g'night! I'm off to bed at the moment ;-)05:58
topylifor writing i usually use lyx. i only really use libreoffice for presentations when i have to make one05:58
topylirobru: sweet dreams :)05:58
chrisccoulsongood morning everyone08:01

seb128chrisccoulson, yes08:40
chrisccoulsonit can do, but i disabled it a little while ago because it was really unreliable08:41
seb128chrisccoulson, tb has been a disaster for me while travelling to GUADEC, Didier said it was the same for him08:41
chrisccoulsonah, perhaps i should fix that ;)08:41

chrisccoulsonyeah, i'd definitely expect that :)08:45
mitya57thanks08:45
seb128- it tries to send email rather than do "send later"08:45
seb128it fails to safe drafts08:45
seb128since it tries to store them on the imap08:46
seb128which is not available08:46
seb128- it keeps spinning and use power for nothing08:46
chrisccoulsonseb128, want to report a bug?08:46
seb128chrisccoulson, sure, I wanted to check if that was a known issue first08:46
chrisccoulsonseb128, yeah, i'm aware of it. i turned off the NM integration a few months back because of another issue where it always started offline08:47
chrisccoulson(both for firefox and tbird)08:47
seb128chrisccoulson, I also had a weird issue that when coming back online it failed to store the messages to the "sent" box, I retried like 5 times and hit cancel at the end08:47

seb128chrisccoulson, lol08:53
seb128Sweetshark, hey, libexttextcat ... is 3.3.1 an unstable version? do we want to track that for quantalo or stay on 3.2?09:11
Sweetsharkseb128: me checks ...09:43
Sweetsharkseb128: 3.3.1 is what libreoffice upstream ships 3.6 with, so I would consider it stable ...09:45
Sweetsharkseb128: btw I might be not too responsive in the afternoon: doctors appointment.09:45
seb128Sweetshark, ok09:50
seb128Sweetshark, so we can sync the new libexttextcat from Debian? or do you want to test libreoffice built with the new version first?10:57

thumperseb128: I noticed the other day that my other machine was blacklisted when in fact it works fine11:04
thumperseb128: does neil know about it?11:05
seb128thumper, it's hardcoded in nux code, so your team11:05
thumperseb128: I got told it is managed by distro11:05

cyphermoxfix is building on all arches now13:56
seb128ok, great13:56
cyphermoxit's not *terrible*, but there's at least one true failure case, and I don't know why the failover dns stuff didn't kick in13:56
seb128cyphermox, I just wanted to point that I assigned you bug #1030463, but no hurry for it, it's just that obexd will need to be updated to build with the current eds13:57

jbichaseb128: hi, is https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/gnome-session/ubuntu/revision/250 ok?14:44
seb128jbicha, hey14:44
seb128jbicha, why I'm not included on those GNOME iso emails ;-)14:45
jbichahaha14:45
seb128jbicha, robert_ancell forwarded me that earlier14:45
jbichait's not ready for everybody yet but I'll keep you in the loop in the future :)14:46
seb128jbicha, thanks14:47
jbichaI think GNOME may not like our preferred naming choices because of trademark & similar concerns14:47
seb128jbicha, so I don't understand why you need that patch14:47
seb128jbicha, can't you just change the default session in the CD build?14:48
jbichaseb128: how do I do that? and it needs to work by default after install too14:48
seb128jbicha, not sure, ask the lubuntu,xubuntu,kubuntu guys14:49
seb128or ask on #ubuntu-devel14:49
jbichaok14:49
pittijcastro: I don't actually know, I'm afraid -- we were practicing in the last 10 or so minutes of the game14:49
jbichaI don't believe lubuntu or xubuntu use gnome-session14:52
seb128jbicha, hum, but the issue there is to have lightdm pick the right session and they use lightdm14:56
Sweetsharkre15:00
Sweetsharkseb128: pong15:00
kenvandineseb128, binNEW too please :)15:00
jbicharobert_ancell: what do you think about the gnome-session patch? is this fixable in lightdm?15:02
robert_ancelljbicha, I'm not sure of the reasoning for the patch - it just adds a fallback session right? We should just set the default to gnome for the image15:04
robert_ancellFallbacks are dangerous - we don't want to put the user into the wrong session because their normal session is broken for some reason15:04
jbichaok, how do we set the default to gnome for the live session & the installed session?15:05
jbichamaybe split the ubuntu.session's to a separate package that has a circular dependency on unity?15:07
jbichathat's what we do with gnome-session-fallback15:08
robert_ancelljbicha, I think other systems use /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults to set the session, but didrocks knows better than me15:12
seb128kenvandine, k15:20
seb128Sweetshark, did you reply to my "should we sync  libexttextcat" question earlier?15:21
kenvandineseb128, thx15:21
Sweetsharkseb128: yes15:23
seb128Sweetshark, yes you replied or yes we can sync it? ;-) (did you want to test building libreoffice with it first?)15:23
Sweetsharkseb128: 3.3.1 is the default shipped with LO 3.6.x, so it should be reasonably stable.15:23
Sweetsharkseb128: yes, replied. yes, syncing is fine. ;)15:24
seb128Sweetshark, excellent, thanks15:24
seb128Sweetshark, second question ... how is the lo-menubar work going?15:24
Sweetsharkseb128: see http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/?h=feature/unitymenus ... I havent tested it yet.15:25
seb128jbicha, robert_ancell: seems like you should just have a gnome-iso-settings package which set it, like xubuntu-default-settings do it15:32
seb128they do:      /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults --keep-old --session=xubuntu || true15:32
chrisccoulsonawesome, i'm upgrading my internet connection at home :)15:42
jibelcyphermox, n-m update fiexd the problem, thanks!15:44
cyphermoxjibel: awesome, thanks. and sorry for the trouble15:44
jibelcyphermox, now there is still to understand why it fails over correctly on my machine and not on pete's.15:45
cyphermoxjibel: I think he might have the 'dnsmasq' package installed; that would explain it15:46
cyphermoxsee if there are extra files in /run/resolvconf/interfaces than NetworkManager15:46
cyphermoxand how many dnsmasq instances are running15:46
