arthurfiggis | hello :) i was going to give installing a 352.x version of the nvidia drivers in 15.04 and there are a few ppa's for it...is xorg-edgers the one that's generally used/trusted or is there a better one? if this is the wrong place to ask...sorry about that :) | 04:04 |
---|---|---|
SonikkuAmerica | I don't think so... lemme look it up | 04:07 |
arthurfiggis | SonikkuAmerica, thanks...the other one commonly mentioned is ppa:mamarley/nvidia but i wasn't sure which one was...not supported, but generally used i guess :) | 04:09 |
SonikkuAmerica | I would look on NVIDIA's Web site for Linux drivers and (even though it's not necessarily recommended because security) run one of their scripts | 04:09 |
arthurfiggis | SonikkuAmerica, ahh, okay...on some distributions running the nvidia installer seemed to cause a lot of troubles, but i guess keeping it up to date for security reasons would be important as well. maybe i'll check out installing the official installers then, thanks :) | 04:12 |
octoquad | darkxst, does a guest session exist under Ubuntu Gnome? | 08:43 |
octoquad | Re: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+question/269580 | 08:43 |
darkxst | octoquad, no | 09:07 |
darkxst | it might work when using lightdm, but not gdm | 09:09 |
octoquad | ta. Added a response to the question. | 09:22 |
octoquad | darkxst, any good resources/books for learning C. I have Programming in C (3rd Edition) by Stephen G. Kochan. | 09:26 |
darkxst | octoquad, no idea | 09:31 |
darkxst | maybe c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ their python book seems pretty popular | 09:31 |
darkxst | also GNOME C is kind of unique, with all the glib/gobject/gtk stuff etc not sure how much a generic book will help with all that | 09:35 |
darkxst | octoquad, have to run | 09:35 |
octoquad | ok thanks | 09:35 |
darkxst | if you know the basics of C, read the code and try and fix some simple bugs | 09:36 |
octoquad | actually I find working with real problems the best way to learn. If you have any please send them my way. | 09:37 |
darkxst | try look at bugs tagged gnome-love on bugzilla | 09:37 |
octoquad | ah yes | 09:38 |
octoquad | darkxst, when you get some time please update: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+question/269911 | 10:07 |
octoquad | only | 10:43 |
octoquad | ^ sorry was looking for something in the chat log :P | 10:44 |
darkxst | octoquad, updated | 12:20 |
octoquad | ta | 13:15 |
darkxst | octoquad, np, there is crap everywhere that is probably never updated! | 13:22 |
octoquad | OK, i'll keep an eye out if I find anything and update. | 13:35 |
octoquad | darkxst, for ubuntu-gnome-default-settings if I do dch -i the version becomes 15.04.5ubuntu1 is this correct? I see previous entries don't have the ubuntu1 bit? | 13:40 |
SonikkuAmerica | !info ubuntu-gnome-default-settings | 13:40 |
ubot5 | ubuntu-gnome-default-settings (source: ubuntu-gnome-default-settings): default settings for the Ubuntu GNOME desktop. In component universe, is optional. Version 15.04.5 (vivid), package size 4 kB, installed size 73 kB | 13:40 |
darkxst | octoquad, no, ubuntu is upsteam, so it should be 15.10.1 | 13:41 |
SonikkuAmerica | darkxst: Is he using the dev branch? | 13:41 |
darkxst | SonikkuAmerica, Its for wily | 13:41 |
darkxst | atleast I assume | 13:42 |
SonikkuAmerica | kkz | 13:42 |
octoquad | Yes for wily, I branched from here: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/wily/ubuntu-gnome-default-settings/wily | 13:42 |
octoquad | I can redo it, not a problem, it's small change | 13:43 |
darkxst | SonikkuAmerica, for what its worth xorg-edgers is about the best trusted place to get nvidia drivers, but it does pull in other updates. so in that case you need pins | 13:43 |
darkxst | still far easier than breaking your system with nvidia's installer | 13:43 |
octoquad | darkxst, should I rather use this branch instead: https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-gnome-default-settings | 13:44 |
darkxst | octoquad, just change the version and commit, bzr gobbles up history unlike git | 13:44 |
SonikkuAmerica | darkxst: Yeah, last night I wasn't too sure if xorg-edgers was even still maintained, given it's been around since nvidia-96 | 13:45 |
darkxst | its maintained by ricotz | 13:45 |
octoquad | So version should become 15.10 or 15.10.1 instead of 15.04.5ubuntu1 | 13:46 |
octoquad | or 15.10.0 if I look at the previous entries | 13:46 |
darkxst | 15.10.0 is gine | 13:46 |
darkxst | fine | 13:46 |
darkxst | I honestly have better things to worry about if its a 0 or 1! | 13:47 |
darkxst | and lp:ubuntu/ubuntu-gnome-default-settings is the actual branch, but most likely the other you posted is just a link to that same branch | 13:48 |
* darkxst waits for the day the world falls over, and ubuntu moves to git ;) | 13:51 | |
darkxst | shouldnt be too far off! | 13:51 |
octoquad | hehe | 13:55 |
octoquad | I did a bzr lp-propose, it now has tvim open, not sure what I should put in there. Any ideas? This guide doesn't mention it as a step to complete: http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/fixing-a-bug.html | 13:56 |
octoquad | tvim = vim | 13:56 |
darkxst | its a u-d-d branch really doesnt matter. so long as changelog entry in good | 13:59 |
darkxst | particularly when its midnight here and I need to be up and out by 7.30am tomorrow | 14:01 |
* darkxst going bed | 14:01 | |
octoquad | ok. Sorted. Fix committed. | 14:01 |
octoquad | Thanks for the help :) | 14:01 |
octoquad | night darkxst | 14:02 |
darkxst | octoquad, will look tomorrow and sponsor | 14:03 |
darkxst | just file a MP | 14:04 |
darkxst | so I get email notification ;) | 14:04 |
darkxst | there are whispers of dgit coming to ubuntu and replacing the u-d-d stuff ;) | 14:06 |
darkxst | night | 14:06 |
octoquad | MP done, but my release tag is wrong in the commit, should be wily not vivid. darn | 14:08 |
darkxst | just add another commit. MP will update | 14:09 |
darkxst | and bzr will squash the history out of existence when its merged | 14:11 |
darkxst | PoS really | 14:11 |
darkxst | and you may ask why, but there is nothing close to git rebase in bzr ;( | 14:12 |
octoquad | PoS? | 14:12 |
darkxst | piece of shit | 14:13 |
octoquad | haha | 14:13 |
octoquad | btw: http://blog.launchpad.net/general/git-code-hosting-beta | 14:13 |
darkxst | yeh I know, thats partly motivated by dgit | 14:14 |
darkxst | we were however planning to host our branches in debian | 14:15 |
octoquad | is it a lot of work? Sorry for keeping you up | 14:15 |
darkxst | whats a lot of work? | 14:16 |
darkxst | migrating to git? | 14:17 |
octoquad | porting everything to debian | 14:18 |
octoquad | branches that is | 14:18 |
darkxst | octoquad, no porting just hosting our branches on alioth | 14:19 |
octoquad | Oh i see | 14:19 |
darkxst | which makes perfect sense, once debian move to git | 14:19 |
darkxst | debian gnome is still on svn ;( | 14:20 |
octoquad | wow | 14:20 |
octoquad | I so over svn lol | 14:20 |
octoquad | i'm* | 14:20 |
octoquad | ok, that's it from me today. Tomorrow I shall work on the USC fix. | 14:21 |
octoquad | night darkxst | 14:21 |
darkxst | octoquad, but I have clearance to host our stuff their until that happend | 14:21 |
darkxst | or could be hosted on git.launchpad until then, I don't really care | 14:22 |
octoquad | lol your choice darkxst :) | 14:22 |
octoquad | i'll chat to you tomoz, get some rest already haha | 14:23 |
darkxst | it makes little difference until they have their git branches setup | 14:24 |
darkxst | and I'm sleeping now | 14:24 |
octoquad | lo | 14:24 |
octoquad | lol | 14:24 |
darkxst | but the end goal, is we tend to start packaging dev releases, then debian pick them up around the time we pull into ubuntu atchives | 14:27 |
* darkxst really gone now though | 14:27 | |
