| elky | Unity is making me sad. | 22:28 |
| ibeardslee | have a drink | 22:29 |
| elky | That'd be a downward spiral. I'm pretty sure I'd get a talking to which would make me want another. | 22:33 |
| ajmitch | but you'd forget about unity by that stage | 22:34 |
| elky | Ok, so I need to switch to firefox, but I've hit that "all the icons on the dash disappear" thing. And alt-tab has a habit of causing crashes. | 22:35 |
| lifeless | elky: ajmitch has a fix for that. | 22:36 |
| lifeless | elky: 'reboot'. | 22:36 |
| elky | But I _was_ in the middle of doing things :( | 22:38 |
| ajmitch | lifeless: actually I saw a proper fix committed for that today | 22:39 |
| lifeless | elky: and ? :) | 22:39 |
| ajmitch | which just changes all the types to 64-bit | 22:39 |
| elky | ajmitch, omg... | 22:40 |
| elky | you mean this might be over, finally? | 22:40 |
| ajmitch | shouldn't be hard to apply that to the version of unity in precise & quantal | 22:40 |
| ajmitch | elky: seems that way | 22:40 |
| ajmitch | what ubuntu release are you using? | 22:42 |
| ojwb | 2**32 icons should be enough for anybody | 22:42 |
| ajmitch | ojwb: sadly it's uptime, not pixels | 22:42 |
| elky | oneiric iirc | 22:44 |
| ajmitch | old stuff | 22:45 |
| elky | yeah. I think precise waits on the shiny new machine that ibeardslee keeps trying to steal back. | 22:45 |
| ojwb | fwiw, i had icons missing in oneiric and still do with precise | 22:46 |
| elky | ojwb, iv'e had the issue since unity first appeared | 22:46 |
| ojwb | machine hasn't been up more than a day or two in either case | 22:46 |
| ojwb | i uninstalled it pretty quickly back when it first appeared | 22:46 |
| elky | heh | 22:47 |
| ojwb | but it seems to reappear in each new version | 22:47 |
| elky | ok, reboot i guess :( | 22:47 |
| ajmitch | ojwb: I had it happen in natty, it's always been after weeks of uptime | 22:47 |
| ojwb | i guess some meta package pullsit in | 22:47 |
| ajmitch | elky: not necessarily | 22:47 |
| ojwb | actually, it's not quite the same as i still have some icons | 22:48 |
| ojwb | but several are just blank for some reason | 22:48 |
| ajmitch | if you haven't already, I've got a workaround that doesn't require changing unity or rebooting | 22:48 |
| ibeardslee | elky: setup an rsync, get that done and then `sudo dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sda count=2` or something | 22:52 |
| ajmitch | ibeardslee: trying to break stuff? | 22:56 |
| ibeardslee | heh .. elky has a new machine, but hasn't had the chance to migrate from her old machine yet. Just suggesting options to kill the old machine and force the migration | 22:57 |
| ajmitch | sounds like time for percussive maintenance | 22:57 |
| elky | I missed them because i was rebooting AND THEN UNITY DIDN'T LOAD | 22:57 |
| ajmitch | oops | 22:57 |
| elky | rebooted a second time and it came back, thank deity | 22:58 |
| elky | so what were the suggestions? | 22:59 |
| ibeardslee | elky: setup an rsync, get that done and then `sudo dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sda count=2` or something | 22:59 |
| ibeardslee | although you could also just put the old disk into the new machine | 23:01 |
| elky | I wanted to do that way back and you said no :( | 23:02 |
| ibeardslee | I didn't think you'd take so long about it | 23:02 |
| ibeardslee | ultimately would want the disk back | 23:02 |
| elky | I didn't think there'd be obstructions | 23:02 |
| elky | Now's not the time to do this anyway, I'm supposed to be prepping for some deployments | 23:04 |
| lifeless | ibeardslee: /dev/zero surely | 23:14 |
| ibeardslee | I did actually mean /dev/random .. but /dev/zero would probably work as well | 23:17 |
