jphilipzhi all, just found a bug in xfce that effects xubuntu and wanted to bring it to your attention03:33
jphilipzit involves thunar's calculation of file sizes03:36
jphilipzthunar is dividing by 1000 rather than 1024 when calculating kilobytes, megabytes and gigabytes03:40

ubottubugzilla.xfce.org bug 10864 in core "thunar incorrectly showing file sizes" [Critical,New]03:40
brainwashinteresting.. firefox launches significantly faster without irqbalance doing its magic in the background (sudo service irqbalance stop)10:36
brainwashfresh boot mainly10:37
bluesabreyay, I finally recreated the crash I've been trying to make knome do10:37
knomeyay ;)10:37
knomeso i don't need to?!10:37

knomelol10:38
knomei can though10:38
knomei could do that relatively soon10:38
knomewife's laptop is free10:38
brainwashcoding a menu editor seems to be a tough job10:38
bluesabreI've got it now10:38
bluesabrefirst I had to get rid of the xubuntu menu files10:38
bluesabrethe bug originates from the upstream xfce one10:39
brainwashthe default Xfce session one?10:39
bluesabre/etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu10:39
brainwashhow do they get mixed?10:39
bluesabredunno10:40
bluesabreknome: latest commit should fix your issue12:17
bluesabre(re: menulibre)12:17
* bluesabre downloads all ubuntu flavors for additional testing12:18
knomewith the broken menu file, or should not be able to reproduce?12:19
bluesabreit probably won't work with the broken menu file12:43
bluesabre:(12:43
bluesabrebut it will not break future menu files12:43
bluesabreI hardened the code12:44
bluesabreso, the reason it crashes is because I was not giving the correct name to xfce-settings.directory12:44
bluesabreso with the parent file, it was being added, and with the child file, it was being added again12:45
bluesabre(with a different name)12:45
bluesabrethis caused gnome-menus to die12:45
knome>__<12:47
bluesabreand I never caught this before because I was using the xubuntu menu file12:57

amigamagicthe shift-control-cursor_key thing with abiword was indeed a bug of the current 3.0.0 version: http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1359612:59
ubottubugzilla.abisource.com bug 13596 in Editing - Key/Click Bindings "Shift-control text selection no longer works" [Normal,Resolved: fixed]12:59
sidi-valenciahttps://github.com/Sidnioulz/SandboxUtils/tree/master/mockups/sfcd-autocompletion13:00
sidi-valenciaoops13:00
sidi-valenciathat was for shimmer13:00
amigamagicanyway I think very few people use abiword instead of libreoffice write (maybe xubuntu should switch from abiword -> write?). I'm using it now (abiword) to write some notes, because I'm too lazy to install libreoffice... :D13:04
amigamagichey, people, do you know that linux kernel 3.13.x branch is now in its EOL stage (check https://www.kernel.org/)? This means no more support and bugfixes from kernel mantainers...  Shouldn't we switch to a supported stable branch like the 3.14.x one?13:09
brainwashno, the ubuntu guys will maintain 3.1313:09
knomeamigamagic, we're not the team that supports the kernel whatsoever13:09
amigamagicbrainwash, so the ubuntu guys will mantain the kernel 3.13 line their self with stuff like bugfixes, security fixes, etc., albeit the main developers of the kernel don't support it anymore?13:11
brainwashyes13:12
brainwashit's a kernel with a custom config and ubuntu specific patches after all13:12
amigamagicok, thanks for the info. I read from the changelog that 3.14 kernel has a better support for last intel integrated gpu so I would like to try it on a machine (Intel Xeon with integrated intel GPU on the same die) that has some little graphics troubles with previous kernel.13:16
amigamagicDo you think I can try 3.14 kernel on ubuntu?13:16
amigamagicIs there some backport repository or something like that?13:16
bluesabrehttp://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/13:17
bluesabreunsupported, but better than installing yourself13:17
amigamagicthanks bluesabre!13:17
bluesabrewhen the next ubuntu release is available, it's kernel version will be available to trusty as well13:17
bluesabreI used those packages in 13.10 because my laptop needed the newest13:18
amigamagicsorry for the very ignorant question, but how can I install this on a ubuntu machine? linux-image-3.14.1-031401-generic_3.14.1-031401.201404141220_amd64.deb13:19
amigamagicI double click on it and it does it all by himself?13:20
bluesabredownload each of the files for your architecture13:22
bluesabrethen open a terminal to your Downloads folder13:22
bluesabreand do13:22
bluesabresudo dpkg -i linux*.deb13:23
bluesabrealso, grab the _all one as well13:23
bluesabrethis should cover any bases, including dkms modules13:23
amigamagicvery thanks, bluesabre ;)13:24
bluesabreoh wait13:24
brainwashbut it does not include new firmware files13:24
bluesabredon't grab the lowlatency ones13:24
bluesabreright, but for most things they are set up with dkms, so they will be set up when the kernel is installed13:24
sidi-valenciaamigamagic, brainwash yes you should switch D:13:24
brainwashdistro? or what? :P13:25
sidi-valenciaahah13:25
sidi-valencia*i* did not say that13:25
sidi-valenciakernel13:25
bluesabreregardless, your previous kernel versions will remain installed, and you can switch between them in grub13:25
brainwashah, still running 3.11 on my main system13:25
amigamagicbrainwash, what's that new firmware files thing?13:26
sidi-valenciaamigamagic, there is a PPA somewhere from ubuntu-kernel with the latest kernels13:26
brainwashamigamagic: ignore it right now13:27
brainwashyou might need some new firmware files if you are using brand new hardware13:27
brainwashbut the kernel install routine should tell you what's missing13:28
amigamagicdo you think something that now works with an ubuntu 12.04 lts distro, could break after installing the kernel 3.14 ?13:29
sidi-valenciaamigamagic, no?13:29
sidi-valenciaunless there are bugs, why would it break13:29
sidi-valenciathe two issues you can get are: bugs and no-longer-supported firmware13:29
amigamagicI mean, some hardware that before worked and now it is not more recognized... It's possible?13:29
amigamagicethernet cards, gpu, etc.13:30
sidi-valenciayes13:30
brainwasheverything is possible13:30
sidi-valenciaif there is a proprietary driver13:30
sidi-valenciaand they didnt update it13:30
sidi-valenciait could be possible13:30
amigamagicok so I should only try... thanks13:45
brainwashelfy: bug 131571619:30
ubottubug 1315716 in thunar "Thunar: No confirmation prompt when force-deleting (SHIFT+DEL)" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/131571619:30
brainwashthe upstream report is targeting xfdesktop and not thunar19:30
elfythen change one - obviously the same bug19:31
brainwashmmh, the ubuntu one does not mention "desktop" at all19:31
brainwashso I would assume that it is a general problem19:32
elfycertainly don't get a confirmation here19:45
elfyleft a comment for them to read or ignore19:49
elfyif they confirm I'll sort the packages out on it - if they don't I'll ask them to check again ;)19:50
brainwashelfy: thanks19:50
=== hobgoblin is now known as elfy
