brainwashochosi: bug 1196752 makes me think "what the heck is goind on?!"00:04

brainwashah, so nm relies on upower which relies on logind...00:05

astraljavaDoes anyone know how to enable 256 in saucy's xfce4-terminal?08:19
astraljavaSetting the normal compatibility (xterm-256color) will not work, complains about not finding the correct info from /etc/termcap (which is correct, as there is no such file).08:20
astraljavaHmm... ok, so it is there by default, but still my weechat looks off.08:25
astraljavaRight, just needed to export a $TERM, so that ssh knew about it.08:48

brainwasholbi: does the shutdown button work?10:06
olbinormal button works10:06
olbibut after updates, when dialog option for restart appears, that button doesn't work10:07
olbii will check it one more time, in new machine10:07
brainwashok, so it's the update-manager10:08

elfyninja'd by brainwash 10:09
brainwashjust found this report, is it really xubuntu-specific?10:10
elfyno idea tbh brainwash - I forgot I posted it10:10
brainwashdid the button fail or the did the system fail to restart after pressing the button?10:12
elfypress the button - nothing happens10:12
elfygot an oldish ubuntu iso - will try that in a vm10:13
olbibrainwash: thx for the bug :)10:21
elfybrainwash: restarted ok in ubuntu10:29
brainwasholbi: any error messages in ~/.cache/upstart/startxfce4.log ?10:36
brainwashideally you would need to check the log file after pressing the button10:37
brainwashor start the update-manager inside a terminal window to get the error output10:38
olbionly xfce4-indicator-plugin errors10:39
elfyjust doing that in the vm - hopefully it'll be looking for a restart10:43
brainwashwithout any information other than "button does not work" it will take some time to find out why it fails :(10:43
olbiif there will be some updates that need restart then I will save the errors10:43
elfybrainwash: ok - so pressing restart pointlessly - adds nothing to startxfce4.log 10:45
brainwashand starting it inside a terminal window?10:46
brainwashupdate-manager I think10:47
elfysays nothing after the button is pressed10:48
elfyI'll leave the vm open in the same state in case you can think of anything to check10:50
elfythough it does give this in terminal - when it starts - "warning: could not open /var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat: Permission Denied"10:54
elfybut that makes sense as at that point it's not had a password 10:54
elfybluesabre: yep - did that - works fine - commented in bug 119362111:07

elfyno - thank you :)11:08
bluesabredvd support seems messed up in 13.1011:08
bluesabrethere is no /dev/dvd11:08
bluesabreand symlinking it to sr0 doesn't make it work for totem or parole11:09
bluesabrethough vlc figures it out11:09
knomei've always had the same problems with that11:10
knomei mean, with parole, and other apps as well11:10
bluesabrethis is the first time for me, it's always worked pre-13.1011:11
olbithat's why I'm using VLC :D11:11
knomethink that's something that should be fixed on a larger scale; eg. if /dev/dvd doesn't work, and a dvd is recognised, it should be created so it works11:11
bluesabreagreed11:12
brainwashelfy: used update-manager to fetch the latest updates and the restart button did trigger a restart of my system, so I can't confirm this issue11:14
elfymmm11:17
elfyodd then 11:17
elfybrainwash: you did that in a vanilla install or in one you've been fiddling - another reason I wish I'd remembered this morning, then I'd have done it in a vanilla and this one11:19
brainwashelfy: my test installation (2 weeks old already, bloated with every DE and all the top 100 applications)11:21
elfyI'd assumed so :)11:21
elfysame issue on this - fiddled about with things over the last couple of weeks - so no idea if doing so clears the issue11:22
brainwashit seems to only to affect a small range of users (2?)11:25
elfyat the moment :p11:28
elfyI know I tend to actually only use update manager now and again to test it11:29
elfyI'd imagine lots of people update/grade with apt-get11:29
elfyat least lots of those during pre-release11:30
elfyposting it on the forum see if anyone else see's it11:32

jjfrv8elfy, I me too'd bug 1232363. I saw it during by b2 testing, but thought I had mis-clicked something so I didn't report it.13:04

jjfrv8bluesabre, I've been playing with the Parole docs on docuwiki and have a couple of questions.13:06
elfyjjfrv8: ta13:06
brainwashmaybe dbus related, but update-manager should throw a timeout error in case there is a communication problem13:17
jjfrv8Just ran update-manager from the terminal.  Called for a restart. It won't.13:23
jjfrv8I also had a problem right after launching it.  It said it couldn't download the repository information and to check my internet connection.13:24
jjfrv8That's happened the last few times I've run it.13:24
jjfrv8If I run it anyway, it works.13:25
jjfrv8A couple of errors and lots of warnings showing in the terminal.13:26
elfypermission errors - they make sense to me - you're not running it as root and it's after root stuff13:27
jjfrv8ok. The errors are "root:Could not find any typelib for Dbusmenu" and same thing for "Unity"13:29
elfydebconf: DbDriver "passwords" warning: could not open /var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat: Permission denied13:30
elfyand I see those errors and the warning 13:30
jjfrv8yup13:31
elfyI'm glad someone I know sees the same thing - I hate when you get a confirmation and have no idea who it is :p13:32
brainwashsame here, but it did restart13:32
jjfrv8Here's that warning I get every time I run update manager now: imagebin.org/27308813:47
jjfrv8Never mind. I see why that is.13:50

ochosielfy: i can confirm that bug as well. restart doesn't work15:14
ochosibrainwash: that bug exactly confirms what was said earlier: ubuntu transitions to new systems too quickly and sometimes a bit recklessly15:15
ochosialthough you can argue that this is not LTS so they can experiment and fix it for 14.0415:16
elfythanks ochosi 15:27
elfyI've subscribed us to it now 15:27
ochosithanks15:28
micahcowanlaptop lid suspends, no matter what I tell it in the settings manager.16:06
micahcowanInstalled via USB startup disk, but /home is a separate partition, so any existing user config from previous (raring) install would be carried over, if that's part of the problem.16:07
micahcowan(this is probably wrong chan, which is right? is there a #xubuntu+1 or similar? apologies for the noise)16:08
brainwashmicahcowan: edit /etc/systemd/logind.conf16:09
micahcowanTried that... do I also have to run some "service restart foo" thing to get it respected, or ought that to have "just worked"?16:09
micahcowanAnd, if it doesn't work, does that mean the problem lies with g-s-d rather than systemd/logind?16:09
micahcowan(HandleLidSwitch=ignore)16:10
brainwashand you removed the '#' also, right?16:10
ochosimicahcowan: with settings-manager, you're referring to the powermanager's settings, right?16:10
micahcowanyes16:10
micahcowannm about g-s-d, that'd be gnome-specific wouldn't it :D16:11
brainwashindeed16:11
micahcowanDoes the powermanager setting store somewhere under ~/.config or something? I'd be happy to blow that away and reload the settings, in case it's having issues with differences in text format between raring and saucy, or something...16:12
ochosino, that's in an xml file16:12
micahcowanand yes, I removed the #. Is it reread automatically by logind, or do I need to "bump" it?16:12
ochosiyou can use the "settings editor" to double-check on the config16:12
ochosibbl16:13
micahcowanIIRC, some select boxes were "blank", rather than having the proper settings, so I have a suspicion the XML format for those settings may have changed... where are they located?16:13
micahcowan(but even after setting them properly, they don't seem to be taking effect)16:14
brainwashregarding logind, check the output of "gdbus introspect --system --dest org.freedesktop.login1 --object-path /org/freedesktop/login1 --only-properties"16:16
micahcowanHm, appears to be suspend16:17
micahcowanOkay, got it16:18
micahcowanDid "sudo service systemd-logind restart", and now those readings look right16:19
micahcowan...and laptop lid didn't kill my xchat session, so that's a good sign :)16:19
micahcowannow, is it still a sign of "something wrong" that logind's settings get used directly, rather than xfce4-power-manager-settings handling things when it's running?16:20
micahcowanAnd, for my future reference, is there a support channel for development releases, so I'm not pestering developers in the development channel next time...16:21
brainwashnothing is actually wrong, it's not configured properly16:21
micahcowanThanks for your help16:21
brainwashyea, try #ubuntu+116:21
micahcowanThey'll handle Xubuntu-ish questions too, then? (I realize that logind is general, but xfce4-power-manager-settings isn't, and my understanding is that the desktop power manager is meant to trump logind, or something... at least from the banter on Malone)16:22
brainwashwell, logind is new and still no integrated fully16:23
brainwashapps still rely on upower instead of calling logind16:25
brainwashit will be sorted soon, but sadly not in time for the final release of 13.1016:26
micahcowanAh, that's good information to have.16:26
micahcowanYeah, no big surprise there. Maybe it'll make it into 13.10.1.16:26
micahcowanSo long as I have the workaround... it was getting damned annoying losing my ssh and IM and all that, every time I close my lid :) ...I really appreciate the help.16:27
brainwash13.10 is somewhat like a experimental ground for the next LTS release16:27
brainwashglad we could help you :)16:28

Unit193Well crap, shouldn't have updated.19:07
knomehm?19:07
elfyI found that once 19:09
Unit193It's doing fairly good at showing the desktop background, but not much else.  Crash on startup, dbus-daemon...19:12
Unit193And xfce4-power-manager.  Also a random permission denied message, but don't know what for.19:12
Unit193Okay.... So downloaded https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/1.6.12-0ubuntu6 and seems to be working now...20:13
Unit193Ah, the other computer hasn't updated to the new one, it's still on 7.  Can anyone confirm that 8 does "bad things" with them?20:14
brainwash8 is addressing some apparmor issues20:20
brainwashso disable apparmor temporary20:22
Unit193That's what the changelog said, yeah.  I downgraded, worked.20:23
brainwashtime to file a bug report20:25
Unit193But it's not hit you?20:25
brainwashI'm behind with updates, so still on 720:28
Unit193Oh gosh I'm terrible with reports. :/  Bug #123705920:43
ubottuError: Launchpad bug 1237059 could not be found20:43

brainwashdoes the report even exist?20:48
Unit193Yes, something marked it as "Private"20:49
brainwashoh, does it contain private data?20:50
Unit193Thought apport retracer was going to do something.  It has some logs which seemed fine, and a dump I didn't open.20:52
brainwashSo I guess I'll wait before updating dbus :D20:53
Unit193Nooo, update and confirm! :P20:53

brainwashochosi: he did change the policy for restarting almost instantly though22:54
ochosiyeah, not sure why22:55
brainwashand I still don't know why ubuntu reports that the user is not allowed to hibernate..22:55
brainwashwhat the heck did canonical implement?! :)22:55
ochosii'd just ask them (=the desktop team)22:56
brainwashoh, by the way, did you find a minute or so to compile appfinder (git or with that one gdbus commit)?22:57
ochosihm sorry not yet22:58
ochosia mix between not having time and having forgotten about it, tbh22:58
brainwashjust wait until you open the appfinder next time... the 5sec delay will remind you of this for sure :)22:59
ochosihehe23:00
ochosiwell i use the workaround currently ;)23:00
ochosii thought it'd be more convenient to do that, and to ask nick to do a 4.11 release of appfinder asap the next time i see him online23:00
brainwashis he busy?23:03
ochosi(i thought that was what we silently agreed on)23:03
ochosiwell, i guess for one he started focussing on other things in his life, which is fair enough23:03
ochosiand the other issue is he works a lot23:03
ochosior has to23:03

brainwashdesktop team -> #ubuntu-desktop ?23:09
ochosiyeah, i'd say so23:13
ochosialthough not everyone in that channel might be in the team23:13
knomewell most probably not.23:16
ochosiyeah, i was being sarcastic ;)23:20
Unit193...There's a 'scroll window up' button now too? 0_o23:41
