sebsebsebHi02:18
sebsebsebanyone about?02:18
nikisLikely.02:24
sebsebsebnikis: so just read some interesting Ubuntu news02:25
sebsebsebto do with keeping GNOME 3.6 for the next release, because of upstream dropping fall back mode, and Unity relying on parts of it02:26
sebsebsebwith testing in a PPA of 3.802:26
sebsebseband some things upgraded  to 3.8 probably02:27
bjsnidersebsebseb, the gnome 3 ppa will have gnome 3.8 so it's no big deal03:07
bjsniderubuntu doesn't have all of gnome 3.6 in quantal, and didn't have all of 3.4 in precise03:07
sebsebsebbjsnider: uh yeah I Found that out before, how didn't have the full thing in all the versions03:21
sebsebsebbjsnider: what I am thinking though, surely that was silly to have Unity relying a bit on fall back mode stuff03:22
sebsebsebI guess took the easy route, and now need to sort things out more properly, since GNOME are going to drop it03:22
jbichasebsebseb: it wasn't necessarily "fallback" code when Unity first started using it03:23
sebsebsebjbicha: oh?03:23
bjsniderthey don't think it's necessary anymore what with llvmpipe and whatnot03:24
sebsebsebyep indeed at that03:24
sebsebsebthey give their reasons03:25
sebsebsebharder to maintain that as well etc etc03:25
sebsebseb,but I also read reasons as to why it may be a good idea to keep fall back mode03:25
sebsebsebI assume distros can put it in anyway if they want it,  even if not supported upsteram, and even pach it or something :d03:26
jbichalike gnome-screensaver for instance isn't needed any more by GNOME but it sure was a few months ago03:26
sebsebsebanyway what's interesting in a way is how Ubuntu is using a PPA to test GNOME stuff again,  for 11.04 GNOME 3 was in a buggy PPA for example03:26
sebsebseband now since this fall back mode, Unity stuff,  whole of 3.8 in a PPA it will be as well03:27
sebsebsebjbicha: I think GNOME screensaver was  originally a fork of Xscreensaver as well?03:27
jbichasebsebseb: that's not terribly practical as they are ripping out lots of pieces; the level of patches that distros would have to maintain would quickly get crazy03:27
sebsebsebyeah you mean for fall back mode I assume and distros03:27
sebsebsebalso with GNOME 3 and the screensaver, well it just became lock screen and that was about it I guess yeah03:28
sebsebsebbye bye those beauitufl screensavers03:28
sebsebseb,but can run Xscreensaver in GNOME 3 anyway,  something I will try on my netbook :d03:28
sebsebseband in another distro, I think can run Xscreensaver inside GNOME 3, not tried yet03:28
sebsebsebjbicha: Newer is not always better :d03:30
bjsnideri think the right idea is to delay the release of new ubuntu distros for months, like fedora is doing. that makes users happy03:30
sebsebsebsomething else Ubuntu 12.10 with Nautilus 3.4  instead of the 3.6 version, because of whatever some feature03:30
sebsebsebbjsnider: well I am into Mageia now :)03:30
sebsebseband Mageia delays no problem, with valid reason03:30
bjsnidernautilus was completely redisigned03:31
bjsnidernot "some feature"03:31
sebsebseband then tell the community on the blog the reasons, and people seem to just accept it so far, in general :)03:31
sebsebsebalso indeed Fedora been delaying a beta a lot in the 18 cycle, but apparnatly the final won't be delayed03:31
sebsebsebbjsnider: yep true Nautilus got a re design, but I haven't tried the 3.6 version myself yet03:32
sebsebsebthe 3.4 I have though, but that was just well opening up files and such :d03:32
bjsniderit's amazing03:32
bjsnideri dig it. others don't03:32
sebsebsebthe 3.6 version apparnatly had some changes though, that didn't fit in with Unity, and so they decided to go back to 3.4 for Ubuntu 12.10, or  something like that, whatever it was, oh and people complained about the new  Nautilus 3.6 yeah03:33
sebsebseb,but of course03:33
sebsebsebalso what's nice about 3.6 is when doing a search well search for Nautilus or Files both will bring up the icon :d03:34
sebsebsebfor it03:34
sebsebseb3.6?  I mean 3 .4, but I assume 3.6 is like that to03:34
bjsniderhere's the logic behind the redesign, by jmccann: http://blogs.gnome.org/mccann/2012/08/01/cross-cut/03:34
bjsniderthe mint guy blew a gasket03:36
sebsebsebMay have been on that link before, not sure quite03:36
sebsebsebthe Mint guy uhmm03:36
sebsebsebwell Mint does it's own interface stuff03:36
sebsebsebwith the help of whoever03:37
sebsebsebwell for Mate sure, but  Cinnamon is pretty much just Mint people I guess at the moment?03:37
sebsebsebI mean Mate isn't only made by Mint people03:38
sebsebsebbjsnider: and Mint made their own file manager or whatever, if that's what your reffering to03:38
bjsniderthis is what i'm referring to: http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Linux-Mint-founder-calls-Nautilus-3-6-a-catastrophe-1699677.html03:39
sebsebsebbjsnider: yep I  seem to have been on that one before03:40
sebsebsebanyway Ubuntu uhmm03:41
sebsebsebI read some where that basically would stick with Nautilus ( or well I guess Files if going to use the other name it has now)03:41
sebsebseb,but may end up patching it, beause  of Unity and what not, or whatever03:41
jbichasebsebseb: since you're in the +1 channel, why don't you try raring? it has Nautilus 3.603:43
sebsebsebjbicha: uh maybe, but I actsauly contribute to another distro on the community side now :d03:44
sebsebsebhowever I was thinking of virtual maching Ubuntu 12.10, not even treid that yet03:44
sebsebsebalso that Ubuntu GNOME Remix from what I read, and saw of screenshots/video  seems interesting03:44
sebsebsebfor well a GNOME 3 distro :d03:44
sebsebseb,but then going to need the GNOME 3 ppa, for Nautilus 3.6 etc in that, if wanting that, since by default it's stuck with the 3.4 version03:45
sebsebsebjbicha: also that distro the one I like now :)  has Nautilsu 3.6, but in development versions03:46
bjsnidermageia?03:48

johnjohn101any changes from 12.10 on the daily build now?18:55
BluesKajJontheEchidna, a couple of python related packages , but no fix for the X init failure yet19:02
BluesKajer johnjohn101 ...too many kohns19:02
BluesKajsame old...guess I'll have play the "Patience" card til the Xserver bug is fixed , "Xinit: connection to X server lost."19:26
genii-aroundIs this after today's updates?19:27
BluesKajyesterday afternoon , genii-around19:28
genii-aroundAh. I ran apt-get -y dist-upgrade && shutdown -h now    last night , booted up OK today19:30
BluesKajand what did that command do genii-around ..I'm not familiar with -y and -h19:31
genii-aroundBluesKaj: the -y is a bit dangerous, it means answer "yes" automatically to any prompts, i wouldn't recommend it usually.  The -h is for Halt in the shutdown command19:33
BluesKajdangerous heh, X server is broken , how could it be any worse ? :)19:34
genii-aroundI have had the flash plugin crash 3 times today but that's the only weirdness so far. The plugin-container seems to shoot up to about 18-25% CPU in top then it crashes. Refreshing the page reloads it and it's good for a while longer until it crashes again, etc19:35
BluesKajbbl19:36
BluesKajgenii-around, which graphics ?19:45
genii-aroundBluesKaj: Nvidia 9300M GS  with nvidia-current-updates   ( driver version is 304.64-0ubuntu1 )19:46
BluesKajyeah , mine is a 8400gs , entry level pcie , but it works fine for my setup , nvidia-current for this card is 304.43 driver19:49
BluesKajhere on 12.10 it's the 304.51 driver ...strange19:51

genii-aroundBluesKaj: There are 3 different drivers now, nvidia-current, nvidia-current-updates, and nvidia-experimental-30420:05
BluesKajgenii-around, there also the R310 driver available on the nvidia site for any cards from the geforce 8800GTX and up , supposed to give a large performance boost20:07

jtaylorsomeone know how to install stuff in py3.3's venv?21:06
jtaylorthere doesn't seem to be any tools installed for that, I'm wondering if its a packaging issue or just how it should work now ._.21:08
BluesKajwell ,my bag of tricks is empty ... I guess patirnce is word of the day for my X server bug21:18
BluesKajerr patience21:18
jtaylormeh old external py3.2 venv still works fine, I'll just use that21:26
BluesKajI'm on the 12.10 partition , so I'm ok , but it's disappointing that the bug fix isn't done yet for 13.0421:29
simplewyofel: do you have your system raring updated?21:41
yofelyes, I don't dare to reboot though...21:41
simplewyofel: eheeh21:42
simplewyofel: i have updated now 53 packages, and i did rebooted yesterday and i had to create a new user to be able to enter in kde session21:42
yofelhm, someone complained about gpg somehow blocking his login yesterday IIRC21:43
genii-aroundI'm going to do an update and reboot to see if I have the same issue. I can boot into my 10.04 if it fails horrible.21:43
genii-aroundyofel: Yes, I had the same thing earlier21:44
genii-aroundOk, biab21:44
simplewyofel: but im with another problem, the plasma panel im using has 22 pixes width (its a default size i set in systemsettings) but then i changed to humanity icons and the start icon appeared orange, after i updated yesterday the start icon started appearing gray, no to have it in orange i need to have the panel much bigger, at least size 3221:44
yofeldid they half-update the icons?21:45
simplewyofel: how can i know that?21:45
simplewyofel: for that i would need to check the changes in source, bazar, but i dont know how to do that with bazar, do i have to clone the repo locally?21:45
simplewyofel: or is possible to check with launchpad?21:46
yofelyou could look at the raring-changes mailing list if someone uploaded something in that regard21:46
simplewyofel: could you point the url?21:46
yofelI don't know what package has the humanity icons. If you know that you can look at launchpad too21:46
yofelhttps://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Raring-changes21:47
simplewyofel: i also dont know but i think that its not hard to check21:47
simplewyofel: seams the packae is humanity-icon-theme21:47
simplewyofel: there was an update installed for this package21:49
yofelyou can check what was done in the changelog in /usr/share/doc/humanity-icon-theme/changelog.Debian.gz21:51
simplewyofel: what app do i use to see that21:52
simplewzcatº?21:53
yofeluh, most sane text editors support gzip21:55
yofelzcat would work though21:55
