Unity is absolutely broken.
I can't get the panel to appear.
What's the difference between the Chromium PPA and the Chromium offered in the Universe Repo? http://bit.ly/nLd5b0 #chromium
@JorgeCastro The text on the bottom is quite small.
yeah I'll get another update from him tomorrow
Here is my Ask Ubuntu wallpaper:
It doesn't even need a link imo, the clickthrough is fine
heh, nice!
00:54
@JorgeCastro Do you know if modifications to stock wallpapers are allowed?
what do you mean allowed?
they're licensed freely
Oh, okay.

Q: Get Ask Ubuntu Wallpaper for Your Desktop Here!

George EdisonWhat's up? I decided to create some Ask Ubuntu-themed wallpaper for my Ubuntu desktop in the Gimp and I'm posting them here for you to use as a background or basically anything else for your own personal use: Links: 1280x800 Note: I currently only have one resolution: 1280x800 since that's ...

01:32
Epic fail: Look at MySpace's 404 page: myspace.com/file_that_will_not_be_found
I guess we know they use ASP.Net now :)
 
2 hours later…
03:23
@MarcoCeppi I need your help
@GeorgeEdison Is it alright if i modifiy the wallpaper?
@Amithkk Sure...
Where did you get the transparent(backgroundless) logo of au
How can I connect to my wifi connection because I can't find it in the network manager ? http://bit.ly/q819Qs #wireless
^Prototype @GeorgeEdison what do you think?
03:37
Looks pretty good.
One thing I notice right away... there is quite a bit of aliasing near the logo.
You'll probably want to work on that a bit.
I saw
@Amithkk did you edit our menu look?
Umm no
hmm
I still can't figure out what changed.
Only admins can do that
03:43
@Martian hi royal subject.
Spying on these puny humans as myself?
@RolandTaylor New gravatar :P
@Amithkk yes, fitting with my mood.
I'm about as joyful and cheery as MarcoCeppi right now.
Okay, maybe not that... joyful + cheery.
You heard of my fan story yesterday?
No, I wasn't here yesterday, in fact not for most of the week.
I only came back on after an email mentioning that fact.
I wonder why the amd64 build machines are so full...
03:47
(Nothing against anyone or the site, just I don't want to be bringing my basket of joyful goodies to the chat :))
@GeorgeEdison good question!
@GeorgeEdison btw what was it that you said in relation to Google+ the other day? I didn't find it.
Oh just about Zuckerberg quitting Google+.
@GeorgeEdison oh. I didn't catch it :P
Time to update my AU profile!
Launchpad builds for Itanium processors....?
Haha?
Must be for something HP specific, I'm guessing.
Well, Itanium is a processor line from Intel for high-end servers.
But you're right... HP originally had a hand in it.
@Amithkk Looking good... but there's a black border around the Ask Ubuntu logo.
Are you using the version from the site?
03:54
Oh grand... I have to go.
The joys of not owning your own home...
Have a nice night, everyone.
@Martian I expect a full report on human activity by 27:00 hours.
@RolandTaylor Night!
It is already anti-aliased.
@GeorgeEdison thats the same one i used
Where did the black border come from?
03:57
it has a black background as soon as its pasted into gimp
That's odd... is the layer you're pasting it on RGB with an alpha channel?
@GeorgeEdison I took the image form /usr/backgrounds
@Amithkk You mean /usr/share/backgrounds?
yeah
Hmmm... try selecting the layer you're pasting to and go to "Layer->Transparency->Add Alpha Channel".
Also check Image->Mode to see if you are using an RGB or Indexed image.
(Though I doubt you are using an indexed image... since most filters won't work with Indexed images.)
04:07
@GeorgeEdison It has remove alpha channel
Hmmm... that's weird.
How are you pasting the Ask Ubuntu logo? Are you opening it in a separate window and then copy/pasting it?
seperate window?
i use chromium
Ooooooh. You just copied it from Chromium?
I see. You need to download it and open it with the Gimp.
Copying it from Chromium destroys the alpha channel.
04:10
K
Thanks for the new knowledge
No problem.
Thank you for teaching me something: I never knew Chromium didn't copy images with the alpha channel.
Cool... how did you get the color to change?
@Amithkk cool
@GeorgeEdison Alias-less-Inversion
04:17
That's pretty cool.
Here's a tip: try swapping the blue and red color channels on that layer.
04:36
Is @Takkat alive?
05:06
Found old box of premium WP Themes
@GeorgeEdison could you check out a few ideas for themes of 2buntu
You awake @StefanoPalazzo ?
@Amithkk What do you want me to do?
@Amithkk barely. what's up?
I need some people to check this out elegantthemes.com/preview/Polished
Looks good.
yeah looks nice
05:13
How would it look on 2buntu?
I got the theme already
you guys have to stop changing the design on 2buntu ;)
first rule of marketing
The polished one would work well I think
waits for roland to make me a temporary admin
@StefanoPalazzo Updated JS Studio today?
Actually, I have about 30-34 themes from this elegantthemes.com/gallery/index.html
I fixed a bug with indenting and changed the editor preferences page.
05:17
Exactly where can i download JS studio?
@Amithkk From my PPA.
@GeorgeEdison I think I found a bug
one that I could've noticed earlier actually
@StefanoPalazzo What is it?
select a bunch of lines, hit tab, then immediately hit shift+tab
then select the same lines again and hit shift+tab
it behaves differently
What does it do?
What are you expecting it to do?
05:21
it seems to select the first line (though not all of it somehow), rather than dedenting the block
there's something else I just noticed
try selecting multiple lines and hit tab, then tab again and it jumps to select the first line
can't say what it's supposed to do, I haven't had my coffee yet (:
@GeorgeEdison something else, Shoudnt be icons be native??
@Amithkk Native? Well... it's actually supposed to use the default icon theme.
they are correct on my machine
@StefanoPalazzo As for the bug... I made some changes to the indenting code today.
the fonts are all wrong, but that's a known bug with the ubuntu font packaging, or something
05:25
@StefanoPalazzo The fonts?
Yep
the fonts are wrong
let me find the bug ticket
@Amithkk That's odd... do those icons match your current Qt / Gnome theme?
[Kubuntu natty up-to-date] Hi, Without any change on my system, I noticed some days ago that my default font (ubuntu) changed. Some odd behaviour appeared : ubuntu medium 10 pt was ok but ubuntu medium 11pt was bold (-> in my taskbar clock or in kpackapgekit). In fact, after some play with kcm kubuntu font manager, the ubuntu medium 10pt was wrong, since kcm module shows the true appearance of ubuntu medium, which is quite bold. I swapped to ubunu light font SO ! I changed font hinting to light (default in kubuntu seems to be medium) and it seems to have solved bugs. Anyway, "ubuntu font" management by KDE seems to be strange, and firefox 4 font rendering is worse (imho) with light hinting (but maybe because of unselected "system default" parameter in fonts kcm).
Ubuntu Font Family
Undecided / Invalid
05:26
No, im using Ambiance
(In other words, do they look like that in Gedit?)
Weird... do you have any other Qt apps installed?
Not sure
I don't know what's up there - the ticket says 'fix released', but I still have the same problem in chrome. it happened after I installed the ubuntu mono font - I wouldn't worry about it, it's the same thing in all Qt apps and Chrome
05:28
I have 'Qt Face Trainer'
@StefanoPalazzo So how exactly does this affect JS Studio?
@Amithkk Are there toolbar icons in that? Do they look the same?
No toolbar icons in that
I'm glad you brought up the icon issue though because I was actually going to anyway... JS Studio is programmed to use the system's native theme where possible and it needs something to fall back on when that's not available.
this is the font problem. Like I said, it also happens in virtualbox for example - so not a problem with your code
05:30
@StefanoPalazzo So it's the window decorations?
@StefanoPalazzo I'm glad to hear that it's not my problem... since I would have no clue how to fix it.
no, the left one shows the correct font and js studio has the medium weight variant for some reason
Fine here?
@Amithkk Looks alright to me.
@StefanoPalazzo I quickly requested a build for Natty with the new indent code.
Then hopefully the problem is already fixed.
fantastic, I will leave you a message when I tried it
Thanks... I appreciate you trying all of this :)
You'll also see some new changes in the preferences dialog.
05:33
heh it's all my pleasure
I try all the cutting edge software, that's why nothing ever works for me :D
Hopefully v0.1 of JS Studio makes it by the end of the summer.
@GeorgeEdison Good Luck!
Then I can submit it for inclusion in either Oneiric (probably too late) or P-series.
oh I did mean to mention this: turn the wallpaper question into a jeopardy style answer
Awesome wallpaper by the way
Thanks! A Jeopardy style-answer?
05:35
yeah a question with your own answer
so that people can add more wallpapers
I get it. Yeah, that's a good idea.
@Amithkk was working on one.
great stuff!
05:47
nice @Amith!
hope to see lots more soon

@Takkat alive?
writing an answer for you ;P
Good morning btw :)
@Takkat can i alias it
:D:D
@Takkat are you on ubuntu?
We can alias anything - question is if this was a good idea. For me ddclient runs nice as a daemon without anything else I have to care about.
Nope here is XP :'( (and lots of absobers)

Q: Terminal bell without a PC speaker

synicI do not have an internal speaker in my computer. Usually, I rely on the window manager to play a beep through my soundcard when there's a terminal bell, but since I upgraded, that is not working. I've read that this might be because of compiz, and I tried adding the following to my /etc/puls...
