[04:04] 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 :) [04:07] I don't think so... lemme look it up [04:09] 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] 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 [04:12] 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 :) [08:43] darkxst, does a guest session exist under Ubuntu Gnome? [08:43] Re: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+question/269580 [09:07] octoquad, no [09:09] it might work when using lightdm, but not gdm [09:22] ta. Added a response to the question. [09:26] darkxst, any good resources/books for learning C. I have Programming in C (3rd Edition) by Stephen G. Kochan. [09:31] octoquad, no idea [09:31] maybe c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ their python book seems pretty popular [09:35] 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] octoquad, have to run [09:35] ok thanks [09:36] if you know the basics of C, read the code and try and fix some simple bugs [09:37] actually I find working with real problems the best way to learn. If you have any please send them my way. [09:37] try look at bugs tagged gnome-love on bugzilla [09:38] ah yes [10:07] darkxst, when you get some time please update: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+question/269911 [10:43] only [10:44] ^ sorry was looking for something in the chat log :P [12:20] octoquad, updated [13:15] ta [13:22] octoquad, np, there is crap everywhere that is probably never updated! [13:35] OK, i'll keep an eye out if I find anything and update. [13:40] 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] !info ubuntu-gnome-default-settings [13:40] 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 [13:41] octoquad, no, ubuntu is upsteam, so it should be 15.10.1 [13:41] darkxst: Is he using the dev branch? [13:41] SonikkuAmerica, Its for wily [13:42] atleast I assume [13:42] kkz [13:42] Yes for wily, I branched from here: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/wily/ubuntu-gnome-default-settings/wily [13:43] I can redo it, not a problem, it's small change [13:43] 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] still far easier than breaking your system with nvidia's installer [13:44] darkxst, should I rather use this branch instead: https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-gnome-default-settings [13:44] octoquad, just change the version and commit, bzr gobbles up history unlike git [13:45] 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] its maintained by ricotz [13:46] So version should become 15.10 or 15.10.1 instead of 15.04.5ubuntu1 [13:46] or 15.10.0 if I look at the previous entries [13:46] 15.10.0 is gine [13:46] fine [13:47] I honestly have better things to worry about if its a 0 or 1! [13:48] 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 [13:51] * darkxst waits for the day the world falls over, and ubuntu moves to git ;) [13:51] shouldnt be too far off! [13:55] hehe [13:56] 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] tvim = vim [13:59] its a u-d-d branch really doesnt matter. so long as changelog entry in good [14:01] particularly when its midnight here and I need to be up and out by 7.30am tomorrow [14:01] * darkxst going bed [14:01] ok. Sorted. Fix committed. [14:01] Thanks for the help :) [14:02] night darkxst [14:03] octoquad, will look tomorrow and sponsor [14:04] just file a MP [14:04] so I get email notification ;) [14:06] there are whispers of dgit coming to ubuntu and replacing the u-d-d stuff ;) [14:06] night [14:08] MP done, but my release tag is wrong in the commit, should be wily not vivid. darn [14:09] just add another commit. MP will update [14:11] and bzr will squash the history out of existence when its merged [14:11] PoS really [14:12] and you may ask why, but there is nothing close to git rebase in bzr ;( [14:12] PoS? [14:13] piece of shit [14:13] haha [14:13] btw: http://blog.launchpad.net/general/git-code-hosting-beta [14:14] yeh I know, thats partly motivated by dgit [14:15] we were however planning to host our branches in debian [14:15] is it a lot of work? Sorry for keeping you up [14:16] whats a lot of work? [14:17] migrating to git? [14:18] porting everything to debian [14:18] branches that is [14:19] octoquad, no porting just hosting our branches on alioth [14:19] Oh i see [14:19] which makes perfect sense, once debian move to git [14:20] debian gnome is still on svn ;( [14:20] wow [14:20] I so over svn lol [14:20] i'm* [14:21] ok, that's it from me today. Tomorrow I shall work on the USC fix. [14:21] night darkxst [14:21] octoquad, but I have clearance to host our stuff their until that happend [14:22] or could be hosted on git.launchpad until then, I don't really care [14:22] lol your choice darkxst :) [14:23] i'll chat to you tomoz, get some rest already haha [14:24] it makes little difference until they have their git branches setup [14:24] and I'm sleeping now [14:24] lo [14:24] lol [14:27] 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 [15:19] hi all [15:23] Hi lindol [15:25] Dave07747, thank you :) [15:26] Of course lindol :) [15:29] What is your time? :) [15:29] Korea is midnight :) [15:29] I will go to bed soon :) [15:36] have a good night :) [15:38] 11:38 AM [15:38] America east coast [21:49] I used unetbootin to try to boot gnome from a flashdrive and now whenever I plug it in it doesn't load and I can't open bios === littlebunnyfufu is now known as SonikkuAmerica
