[05:04] <Ticked> Please someone tell me they can tell me how to make a problem with my linux system stop I am using gnome desktop 3.4.2 debian wheezy stable I just finished a fresh install and install some of the apps I play around with and I logged out and the back into gnome 3 and the mouse pointer is shaped like cross hairs and is taking screenshots of everything I click and I am about to flip my lid and go nuts over this
[06:35] <RJ45> palimpsest (AKA gnome-disk-utility) benchmarks using both 'Mb' and 'MB', both conveying the same number, check for yourself, I just gotta know, which is it?, Megabits, or MegaBytes? o.O
[06:36] <RJ45> the axis on the chart says 'MB', but the number outputs below say 'Mb'
[06:41] <RJ45> apparently a conformed bug about 3 months shy of 2 years ago;  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-disk-utility/+bug/919606
[06:44] <RJ45> I really need to know which it is, the results I'm seeing are suggestive of it being MegaBytes/s
[06:45] <RJ45> (especially when compared with a real live transfer of files)
[07:26] <darkxst> RJ45, sounds like an upstream bug
[07:27] <darkxst> I would think its actually MB/s
[07:29] <RJ45> darkxst: lol, 'upstream bug', isn't everything linux just one big 'upstream bug'? :P
[07:29] <darkxst> RJ45, nope, lots of bugs are caused by Ubuntu patches/packaging
[07:31] <RJ45> it's all just repos derived from repos, derived from other repos, it's repos all the way down I say! :P
[07:32] <darkxst> upstream doesnt have repos!
[07:32] <RJ45> aaanyways, yeah, from my own tests, I's suspect it to be MB/s.
[07:34] <darkxst> RJ45, https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=675686
[07:34] <RJ45> darkxst: Hundreds of PPAs -> Debian .debs -> Ubuntu .debs
[07:35] <darkxst> RJ45, what does that have to do with upstream?
[07:35] <RJ45> *shrugs*
[09:15] <starnix> Hello people!
[09:16] <starnix> out of curiosity, what difference is ubuntugnome, if I installed ubuntu and then gnome-desktop?
