[01:18] <qengho> Man, I wish that new rpi image would let me add files to /etc/rsyslog.d/ .
[01:18] <sarnold> mount ... -obind?
[01:20] <qengho> I'll look into that. I suppose fstab persists and is mutable?

[07:24] <davmor2> jhodapp: but I already know all the ways to crash BT so he may aswell hand the beer over on arrival right?
[07:24] <flocculant> any excuse ...
[08:23] <davmor2> willcooke: looks like there is an issue with whoopsie
[08:24] <willcooke> davmor2, is this u8 specific or just in general
[08:25] <davmor2> willcooke: 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 u7
[09:58] <willcooke> Can 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?

[10:01] <andyrock> morning
[10:01] <willcooke> hey andyrock, how goes?
[10:02] <andyrock> day of emails
[10:02] <willcooke> a good job for a Friday
[10:02] <andyrock> what about you? ready for we?

[10:11] <willcooke> certainly am!  Didnt get done until about 930 last night, so I might take off a bit early tonight
[11:14] <davmor2> willcooke: screen resize issue is in place again for kvm
[11:17] <willcooke> davmor2, whats that one?
[11:17] <davmor2> willcooke: restarting nautilus fixes it
[11:18] <davmor2> willcooke: desktop doesn't rescale to the new screen size
[11:18] <davmor2> willcooke: not sure who fixed it last time
[11:22]  * willcooke trawls LP
[11:57] <davmor2> willcooke, 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/
[11:58] <davmor2> stupid uefi
[11:59] <qengho> willcooke: about your "browse" "alias", just symlink /usr/bin/browse to sensible-browser in sensible-utils pkg.
[12:10] <jhodapp> davmor2, haha I think so :)
[12:32] <desrt> good morning
[12:45] <willcooke> thanks qengho
[13:32] <willcooke> ooh.  Lunar eclipse in the UK tonight around 730 -> 8pm
[13:39] <pitti> nice
[13:40] <pitti> after two weeks of sunshine it'll finally start to rain (massively) this evening; so right in time for the eclipse :(
[13:41] <willcooke> heh
[13:42] <willcooke> feels almost cold here today
[13:42]  * ogra_ recommends a montgolfiere .... 
[13:42] <willcooke> Yesterday was 30 today is 15 :/
[13:42] <ogra_> just go above the clouds
[13:42] <willcooke> ha
[13:43] <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] <pitti> yeah, *that* will work well
[13:43] <ogra_> totally !
[13:44] <pitti> "oh, you meant chemical charge, not static electricity charge!" *sue*
[13:56] <willcooke> qengho, can you tell me where I would add that symlink?  Is it in the rules file?
[13:57] <willcooke> or maybe the postinst and postrm ?
[13:59] <qengho> willcooke: 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] <willcooke> qengho, ta
[14:01] <qengho> willcooke: rules, probably "ln tmp/usr/bin/browse sensible-browser" at the end of "building" or something.
[14:01] <qengho> er "-s" too
[14:54] <qengho> hikiko: You around? I have some windowing questions.
[14:55] <willcooke> qengho, on hols
[14:56] <qengho> hikiko 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.
[14:57] <qengho> App itself? Compositor? Flaky GPU driver? Flaky GPU hardware?
[14:58] <qengho> Notably, when the app has displayed in its main window once, the tooltip problem never happens again.

[17:22] <willcooke> night all
[23:39] <Hrh> As 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 i
[23:39] <sarnold> Hrh: you're cut off at "I'm wondering i"
[23:40] <Hrh> I'm wondering if you could build a deb package for this fix so we can test it.
[23:40] <Hrh> of xserver I mean
[23:41] <Hrh> here is link https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/957814/linux/prime-and-prime-synchronization/1
[23:48] <Hrh> is there anybody could guide me?
