willcookedavmor2, is this u8 specific or just in general08:24
davmor2willcooke: u8 ish  if something crashes in u8 it isn't filing till there is a crash or startup of u7 and you just get a blank window for the u8 crash in u708:25
willcookeCan a package add to a global aliases file on install.  i.e. if I install package foo which wants to alias "foobar" to "foobarbaz" can it be done in the packaging?09:58

davmor2willcooke: restarting nautilus fixes it11:17
davmor2willcooke: desktop doesn't rescale to the new screen size11:18
davmor2willcooke: not sure who fixed it last time11:18
* willcooke trawls LP11:22
davmor2willcooke, jibel: oh it looks like I managed to fix the issue with the new version of OVFM_CODE.fd  It fails to read the .efi files from the iso image so simply boots nothing, if I create a boot file for grubx64.EFI from the dvd and boot that I get the grub menu \o/11:57
davmor2stupid uefi11:58
qenghowillcooke: about your "browse" "alias", just symlink /usr/bin/browse to sensible-browser in sensible-utils pkg.11:59
jhodappdavmor2, haha I think so :)12:10
desrtgood morning12:32
willcookethanks qengho12:45

ogra_just go above the clouds13:42
willcookeha13:42
ogra_and as side effect you can alsso charge your laptop and phone by just letting a wire dangle down to catch  the lightning ;)13:43
pittiyeah, *that* will work well13:43
ogra_totally !13:43
pitti"oh, you meant chemical charge, not static electricity charge!" *sue*13:44
willcookeqengho, can you tell me where I would add that symlink?  Is it in the rules file?13:56
willcookeor maybe the postinst and postrm ?13:57
qenghowillcooke: in rules. Not post-inst,rm because you want file collisions to be detected if another package decides to take that name "browse".13:59
willcookeqengho, ta13:59
qenghowillcooke: rules, probably "ln tmp/usr/bin/browse sensible-browser" at the end of "building" or something.14:01
qenghoer "-s" too14:01
qenghohikiko: You around? I have some windowing questions.14:54
willcookeqengho, on hols14:55
qenghohikiko or other: I'm testing an app in a snap. Some UI elements have tool tips that pop near the pointer. In cases where the app is newly started up, hovering near a place that would cause a tooltip makes the app's main window get large black or white rectangles. I would like to know what to blame here.14:56
qenghoApp itself? Compositor? Flaky GPU driver? Flaky GPU hardware?14:57
qenghoNotably, when the app has displayed in its main window once, the tooltip problem never happens again.14:58

HrhAs you probably know, Alex Goins from Nvidia made a fix for tearing issue as the Prime sync and pushed into xorg server. I want to know if it's possible to have a xorg package from git (An X server with ABI 23 or higher (as yet officially unreleased, use commit 2a79be9)). I tried to build it my self but couldn't. More info on Prime sync here.  I noticed that you build xorg 1.84 today but it doesn't include this fix. I'm wondering i23:39
sarnoldHrh: you're cut off at "I'm wondering i"23:39
HrhI'm wondering if you could build a deb package for this fix so we can test it.23:40
Hrhof xserver I mean23:40
Hrhhere is link https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/957814/linux/prime-and-prime-synchronization/123:41
Hrhis there anybody could guide me?23:48
