elvis4526Hi just saw the recent benchmark on openarena running under xmir. How can xmir perform better then X itself ?01:49
penguin42looks like bug 120469101:51
ubottubug 1204691 in Mir "3d benchmarks are faster in xmir than they are on plain xserver" [Low,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/120469101:51
penguin42classic bug01:51
penguin42elvis4526: I don't know, but I think they're saying that normal X has some frame rate limiting to the sync rate of your monitor01:51
elvis4526well is this a good thing ?02:41

BluesKajHey folks10:31
vanishingknock knock13:35
Piciwho's there?13:38
vanishingcanoe13:39
BluesKajvanishing, got a question ?13:58
vanishingBluesKaj: yep..I am wondering if you can do me a favor13:58
vanishingcan you check if your flashback sessions are working on 13.1013:58
BluesKajflashback sessions?13:59
vanishingBluesKaj: gnome-sessions-flashback in the repo13:59
vanishingBluesKaj: its the old gnome session..with gnome-panel13:59
BluesKajvanishing, I'm a KDE user14:00
vanishingBluesKaj: I see....14:00
BluesKajare you talking about /var/log14:00
vanishingBluesKaj: var log?14:01
vanishingno..i mean14:01
vanishingcan you actually try to log into that session :D14:01
vanishingI've tested on 3 machines, all of them ends up in a "blackscreen with cursor" state14:01
BluesKajvanishing, previous sessions ?14:02
vanishingBluesKaj: well..it worked before yesterday14:03
BluesKajstill don't know what you mean14:04
BluesKajnm14:04
BluesKajforget i even asked14:04
vanishingBluesKaj: lol...kk14:05
BluesKajvanishing, if you explain what you mean then I can't try it14:06
BluesKajbut otherise ....14:07
vanishingBluesKaj: sure..Can you try to install gnome-sessions-fallback, log out to lightdm, and pick gnome-flashback as session to log in14:07
vanishing:D14:07
BluesKajsorry I'm not going to fool with gnome stuff14:08
vanishingalright..:)14:09

penguin42vanishing: Hang on, let me fire up a vm14:32
vanishingpenguin42: thank you!14:32
* penguin42 has a can-someone-try-it - can someone start libreoffice and open a new spreadhseet - do you get a reasonable number of rows/columns?14:33
* vanishing lols14:34
penguin42vanishing: I'm just running an update in my VM - should take about 10 mins14:36
vanishingpenguin42: sure thing, I'm in no hurry :D14:36
penguin42neither is my DSL....14:37
vanishingpenguin42: haha...I consider myself impatient14:37
penguin42vanishing: I'm hopefully getting Cable about 3.5 times faster on Friday14:38
vanishingdownloading stuff at less than 500k makes wanna tear my hairs out..14:38
vanishingbut I'm used to ubuntu breakage now :P14:38
penguin42it's managing about 7.5Mbps/750KBps14:38
vanishingpenguin42: where are you?14:39
penguin42Manchester, UK14:39
vanishingpenguin42: im in toronto, 25m/2m here :D14:39
penguin42vanishing: I should have 30/3 by Friday14:40
vanishingpenguin42: ;P..no more DSL14:41
vanishingthe ubuntu +1 forum is so quiet compared to 10.10 or before days..14:42
vanishingits like..so many people quit or something.14:42
penguin42I think IRC generally is a lot quieter as well over the last few years14:44
vanishingnot sure what happened.. :|14:44
penguin42vanishing: So what does opening a new libreoffice spreadhseet do for you?14:45
vanishingpenguin42: is it called libreoffice calc or something?14:46
vanishingit just...opens up14:46
BluesKajwish Bell would run their fibre service into our town the trunk line runs by us less than a mile away , but we're stuck with DSL here ...the whole town is fibered by the cable co , but their TV service is crappy so their internet is expensive by itself.14:47
penguin42vanishing: OK, and how many rows/cols do you have - can you see the text of the row numbering or are there zillions?14:47
vanishingpenguin42: its scrolling infinitely...I can see the numbers growing14:48
penguin42vanishing: OK for me it's displaying hundreds of rows on screen when I open it; too small to read the row numbers14:48
vanishingpenguin42: config problem?14:49
penguin42maybe14:49
penguin42vanishing: Hmm yes, nuking ~/.config/libreoffice fixed it14:50
penguin42(my vm has nearly updated)14:50
vanishingBluesKaj: story of canadian  monopoly..14:50
vanishingpenguin42: :D14:50
BluesKajlibreoffice calc looks good here, mice and stable14:50
BluesKajnice314:50
vanishingmy old install(perfect setup for me) got trashed on Sunday14:51
BluesKajvanishing, yeah , I could switch to cable , but it's not worth the trouble for us14:51
vanishinghad to reimage :(14:51
vanishingBluesKaj: especially with their contracts and stuff14:51
penguin42vanishing: OK, so how do I test this gnome thing14:52
BluesKaji have no contracts , made sure of that14:52
vanishingpenguin42: hmm..just install gnome-sessions-fallback...log out. in lightdm choose gnome-flashback-compiz and log in :D14:52
vanishingBluesKaj: lucky dude14:52
vanishingBluesKaj: rogers makes sure you are on a leash14:53
vanishingor rather, us..the unfortunate ones14:53
BluesKajvanishing, been with them for many yrs14:53
BluesKajbell that is14:53
penguin42vanishing: I've a choice between Gnome Flashback and Gnome Flashback (No effects)14:53
penguin42vanishing: The 1st one seems to work OK in my VM14:53
* genii makes more coffee14:53
vanishingBluesKaj: I had bell before, but that is when I lived in an apartment, it was old..not very good for DSL14:54
BluesKaj'morning genii14:54
vanishingpenguin42: it loged in okay?14:54
vanishinglogged*14:54
penguin42BluesKaj: Yeh so the reason I'm switching is 1) My DSL speed dropped and it's undebuggable  2) The Cable company finally published their details of when they do rate limiting  3) It's 20% more cost for 3-4x faster14:54
penguin42vanishing: Yeh14:54
geniiBluesKaj: Mornin'! Spent most of it earlier drying out our basement at home before going to work....14:54
vanishingpenguin42: aww man...whats wrong with my install...14:55
vanishingits a fresh install as well14:55
penguin42vanishing: Does the 'No effects' version work?14:55
vanishingnope..14:55
vanishingonly unity and gnome-shell14:55
vanishingworks14:55
BluesKajgenii, yeah i see you guys got quite a storm there yesterday14:55
penguin42vanishing: Hmm ok, you say you get a black screen? What about if you do it in a new user?14:55
vanishingpenguin42: samething :D14:55
vanishingtested with all the usually steps14:56
vanishingi do see some error with gnome-settings-daemon though14:56
* genii shakes a fist at the gathering storm clouds then goes back to pumping out the basement at work14:56
vanishinggenii: good luck man14:56
vanishing** (gnome-settings-daemon:1041): WARNING **: Name taken or bus went away - shutting down14:57
BluesKajpenguin42, yeah i could go from 50bucks to 65 with 3-5 times speed increase , but they do throttle as well14:57
vanishingthis is in the greeters log14:57
penguin42vanishing: I get that as well - but it logs in OK14:59
penguin42vanishing: so you say you've got a blackscreen?14:59
vanishingyep...14:59
penguin42vanishing: Can you log in remotely, or use ctrl-alt-f1 to get a text console and see what's running15:00
vanishingI could reinstall it again.....15:00
penguin42well not sure that would help15:01
vanishingpenguin42: I could ctrl-alt-f1 to restart lightdm even15:01
vanishingalso...I can't log out15:01
vanishingwhen I log out, it just hangs15:01
penguin42vanishing: ok, but if you've got it in that hang then the thing is to find out what's going on - is stuff running? Anything in the X log?15:02
vanishingpenguin42: its pretty quiet in the x log..15:03
vanishinglet me try to log in through gnome fallback again15:03

vanishingpenguin42: hmmm..nothing is coming up..15:08

vanishinganother thing I see in the greeter log is: Error registering user list dbus object: an object is already exported for the interface com.canonical.UnityGreeter.List at /list15:10
vanishingpenguin42: yea..they seem ok15:10
vanishingno gnome-panel and stuff like that though15:10
vanishingonly gnome-session, gnome-settings-daemon15:10
penguin42vanishing: OK, so you could check .xsession-errors  but it's very chatty even on a working system15:11
vanishingpenguin42: nope..only about 12 lines...15:12
penguin42ah, any of them interesting?15:12
vanishingand its about at-spi2-registryd respawning too fast15:12
penguin42I don't have that - so I say blame it15:13

Dark_lightI'm not sure this is strictly related to 13.10 but still, after closing a window the foucs is not returned to the desktop so basically if I open files and close it clicking on the X button the writing "Files" is still displayed in the bar on the top left19:14
wilee-nileelook up a reset on the desktop, be sure it is for that release or at least 13.0419:40
Dark_lightwilee-nilee: I'm not quite sure what I should look up where19:41
wilee-nileedo younthink19:42
wilee-nileedo you think you should be running a development then?19:43
Dark_lightit's just not clear what you said19:45
wilee-nileea reset of unity is a common topic19:45
Dark_lightI normally don't use it that explains it19:46
wilee-nileejust a suggestion I can not guarantee that is the fix19:47
Dark_lightI'll give it a shot, it's worth mentioning that I'm on a live session19:47
wilee-nileenot really applicable to fix probably, could be a number of reasons why you have this happening, hard to say really19:50
Dark_lightunrelated, always in the live session I can't start the software-center it just uses my whole cpu till I kill it19:53
ChogyDanhey Dark_light, fwiw, I wouldn't bother testing a livecd session like that till one is formally released.  I don't think there were any alphas19:58
ChogyDanannnnd, the beta is still a week a way it looks like19:59
AmpelbeinDark_light: Would bug 934189 describe your issue?20:01
ubottubug 934189 in compiz (Ubuntu) "desktop focus interferes with conky" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/93418920:01
AmpelbeinChogyDan: Alpha2 was on 07/25 as far as I know.20:01
ChogyDanAmpelbein: but there wasn't an iso20:02
Dark_lightAmpelbein: sort of with the excpeption of conky20:02
AmpelbeinChogyDan: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-gnome/releases/saucy/alpha-2/ has isos. But maybe I'm misunderstanding.20:03
AmpelbeinOh, I see now.20:04
ChogyDanAmpelbein: oh, no, I just couldn't find them.  I'm just used to the schedule having a link20:05
Dark_lightalso again unrelated now that there are more (and most importantly in my opinion more useful) lenses is there a way to keep those releated to wikipedia/weather and so forth and just disable the commercial ones?20:05
ChogyDanDark_light: I suspect you have to uninstall each package20:06
Dark_lightChogyDan: imo an option should be there, most people (that I know of) disable them for now since it's mostly commercials but now there are some neat ones that most user could take advantage of, all or nothing is a bit drastic, and removing the packages is overkill (some are also pretty generic)20:10
Dark_lightit's literally not possible to disable the more suggestion scope even under filter results, it reenables it after a few seconds20:18
ChogyDanDark_light: fwiw, I think Canonical is still working on it.  So, I don't think it is the final product20:20
Dark_lighthopefully so, some scopes are very useful, but now there are so many one should have an easy way to manage them20:21
