[00:33] <yeez> Hello
[00:37] <TheLordOfTime> hi!
[00:41] <yeez> I own an XPS 13 and following a restart, my laptop screen is at minimum brightness. My external LCD (using Mini DisplayPort to HDMI) Works great however.
[00:41] <yeez> Was hoping someone here could help me out. I'm running 13.04
[13:18] <melodie> hi
[13:18] <melodie> I a trying to improve a feh desktop file in Ubuntu Precise in an Openbox environment, and on the way I happen to notice feh won't start
[13:19] <melodie> instead I get:
[13:19] <melodie> "feh WARNING: ./feh.desktop - No Imlib2 loader for that file format
[13:19] <melodie> and several more lines
[13:20] <melodie> feh WARNING: ./lxshortcut.desktop - No Imlib2 loader for that file format
[13:20] <melodie> ...
[13:20] <melodie> googling for the error message led me at Gentoo forums:
[13:20] <melodie> http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-4193200.html?sid=1d4f8e381005c64e52072eab4b57cdb9#4193200
[13:21] <melodie> "I noticed the jpeg imlib2 loader was not being built, USE="jpg" emerge imlib2 has fixed it here for me,"
[13:22] <melodie> I want to try to find out with which switches the Ubuntu version of feh which is "Version: 1.4.4-1build1" has been built.
[13:22] <melodie> I noticed that in Archlinux, starting it from the menus or from console both work and start feh with an image in it
[13:22] <melodie> the image is a png image
[13:23] <melodie> how could I find out how it has been compiled ?
[13:26] <melodie> I notice that invoking feh with a direct argument works, but won't start with the "%f" argument in the desktop file, for instance
[13:52] <melodie> hi hggdh_
[13:52] <melodie> :)
[13:52]  * melodie preparing to jump on hggdh_ ^^
[13:53] <melodie> would you have a few minutes available for me ? I have posted about an issue on feh a while ago this afternoon and didn't yet get an answer
[14:05] <hggdh_> good morning/afternoon melodie
[14:05] <melodie> hi hggdh !
[14:05] <hggdh> melodie: reading the backlog now :-)
[14:05] <melodie> ok, thank you
[14:06] <melodie> I'll have something to add after, related to one more test
[14:08] <hggdh> melodie: you can grab the current packaged source for feh via 'bzr branch lp:ubuntu/precise/feh"
[14:08] <hggdh> melodie: just did it, looking at it now
[14:09] <melodie> hggdh I will need to let you look at it. I am finishing a ubuntu openbox mini remix and after I have to go out for the rest of the afternoon
[14:09] <melodie> and also I don't have coding knowlegde... :(
[14:11] <hggdh> melodie: well, the packge does depend on libimlib2, so installing it would also install (if not there yet) libimlib2
[14:12] <melodie> libimlib2 is here. not possible to do otherwise it is a depend for feh, for openbox as well
[14:12] <hggdh> so, probably the issue is with libimlib2, not feh
[14:12] <melodie> this is possible
[14:13] <melodie> what I notice also is this:
[14:13] <melodie> when starting feh from console with an argument : an image file to load, it loads it. then I quit feh, and restart it with no argument, it will load the image loaded just before.
[14:14] <melodie> what would be nice as an expected result would be to be able to start feh from the menus, with no argument at all.
[14:14] <melodie> I don't know if this is possible
[14:14] <melodie> and if it is then possible to load whatever image we would want from there
[14:15] <melodie> going now. :)
[14:15] <melodie> thanks
[14:15] <hggdh> hurmm. imlib2 is also build built with jpeg. Also, based on what you said, you *can* load the image, although kludgly
[14:21] <hggdh> melodie: melodie I will only be able to check on it this evening, only console access now
[14:22] <melodie> hggdh whenever you can; I had loaded a png file, so this might not be representative
[14:25] <melodie> and thank you very much for your time...
[17:01] <evfool> hi all
[17:02] <evfool> any idea who I could bug about an empathy ubuntu online accounts integration bug making impossible to use any other accounts with empathy except gmail and facebook?
[17:02] <evfool> bug 1147639, being 100% reproducible on all 3 of my fresh fully updated raring installs
[17:02] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 1147639 in empathy (Ubuntu) "Cannot add IRC account details" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1147639
[17:11] <hggdh> evfool: did you check if this is UBuntu-only? It might have already been reported upstream, at bugs.gnome.org
[17:58] <evfool> hggdh: I have been trying to compile the upstream stuff to see if it's also affected, but as the account stuff is coming from Ubuntu online accounts, being different from Gnome online accounts, and raring is at 3.6.4, while upstream is already at 3.8.x it's not too easy
[17:59] <evfool> that's why I'm asking who I can talk with about this topic, I am willing to do any debugging required, to have a complete and fixable bug, as it's really disappointing that I can't use my IM accounts with the latest Ubuntu, and would like to fix it
[18:03] <evfool> hggdh: btw, I have checked the upstream bugzilla, but no sign of the bug there
[18:04] <hggdh> evfool: I would say either #ubuntu-desktop or #ubuntu-unity would be better to find out about this
[18:04] <hggdh> evfool: it may indeed be an unity/Ubuntu thing
[18:06] <evfool> hggdh: thanks, I'll try in ubuntu-desktop
[20:51] <bdmurray> hggdh: did you look into bug 1161073 any further?
[20:51] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 1161073 in coreutils (Ubuntu) "seq puts the separator on wrong spot!" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1161073
[20:53] <ujee> Hello..  Am I supposed to change a status on a bug from "Fix Released" when there is still a corner case that got looked over?   What shall be the new status (New or Confirmed?)  Bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1162046
[20:53] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 1162046 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) "[gm45] Xv video falls apart and flickers when obstructed by 2 windows" [Undecided,Fix released]
[20:58] <bdmurray> In the event that is was fixed in a package and contains a changelog entry regarding the fix its best to open a new bug and reference the old one in it.
[20:59] <ujee> Yes, the bug is in a changelog.. Thanks for the quick reply
[20:59] <ujee> *the bug number
[21:04] <ujee> bdmurray, I already attached files documenting the corner case to the old report.  Shall they be duplicated to the old one, or is there a way of referencing them?
[21:04] <ujee> *duplicated to the /new/ one
[21:05] <bdmurray> well, you could add comments to the new one using the same link as in the old one but then they wouldn't be attachments to the new bug report which might be important to someone
[21:07] <bdmurray> so duplicating them seems best
[21:07] <ujee> ok, thanks
[21:12] <hggdh> bdmurray: did not have time, but it is fixed on 8.21. It is now just a question of looking for the specific patch
[21:13] <bdmurray> hggdh: it'd probably be good to get it in R
[21:16] <hggdh> bdmurray: might be commit
[21:17] <hggdh> bdmurray: might be a commit of Sep 21 2012
[21:17] <hggdh> bdmurray: I can check it when I get home
[21:18] <hggdh> bdmurray: it might also be good to get it in Precise
[21:18] <hggdh> but that might be a bit more difficult, a lot of releases in between
[21:18] <bdmurray> well let me know how I can help
[21:20] <hggdh> bdmurray: roj, will do. Hopefully I will be able to extract the patch this evening
[22:13] <hggdh> not good, got a X crash on the nwew kernel
