hello

this guys account needs to be merged

A: How can I disable the sharing of one mouse between several X ServerLayouts?

There were additional X configuration files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d which interfered with the configuration in xorg.conf. I removed these files and commented out the interfering parts. It now works.

Oli

@brunopereira81 Is done.

brunopereira81

@oli supersonic!

htorque

"1.5GB DVD Image by default" let's see... maybe not for the LTS, but that sounds more sane than throwing out stuff and optimizing icons to keep the CD size limit. :>

ajmitch

@htorque I don't think that means changing to DVD, but more about the size of the current DVD image

Octavian Damiean

Yup, I'm listening in to that one too.

htorque

16:07

@ajmitch oh no, really? :-(

ajmitch

follow the session & find out

Amith KK

Or, you can go the apple way and make an new "UCD" which will be 1.5 GB.

Roland Taylor

@htorque they better do it for the LTS.

@Explorer !!!! :D

♥♥♥

Oxwivi

NO! Not DVD, please!

Roland Taylor

@JorgeCastro hey! Taking a break from UDS?

@Oxwivi yes, actually...

Explorer

:D

Roland Taylor

They can keep a CD, but just make it a basic CD
@Explorer <9001

Jorge Castro

@ajmitch basically, whatever he did to make the lens be submittable, steal it. :)

Oxwivi

Don't we already have an 'extended' DVD?

ajmitch

@JorgeCastro Yeah I'm not seeing anything beyond what was already done, did you have branches with packaging that I should be looking at?

Octavian Damiean

@Oxwivi Well that is not the point. The point is to have the base version with all the tools and applications you want without restricting yourself to 700MB.

Roland Taylor

16:17

@Oxwivi yes. What we're saying is... what Octavian said :)

ajmitch

@JorgeCastro from recent submissions, 'submittable' is a fairly low bar, being in a state where it can be approved takes a bit more :)

Amith KK

What is the session IRC?

Octavian Damiean

#ubuntu-uds-antigua3

Oxwivi

I am of the opinion we should restrict ourselves to 700MB. Already there are a lot of things we rarely use, I cannot imagine what kind of programs will be packed in a 'base' system of more than 700MB.

Octavian Damiean

I'm in App developer tutorials growth now.

oO

Roland Taylor

16:25

@Oxwivi lol?

Amith KK

@GeorgeEdison are you busy

htorque

@OctavianDamiean i'm in front of the tv now :P

couldn't understand a word in bonaire3

Octavian Damiean

:D

htorque

*antigua

Octavian Damiean

Yea. But Bonaire 6 is kinda interesting.

George Edison

16:28

@AmithKK: What's up?

Roland Taylor

The truth is, restricting ourselves to 700MB is a big mistake. If you look at systems like Windows and OSX, they don't limit themselves to a CD (since forever), because it means they can pack more drivers, more documentation, and yes, more applications (such as the obscure regedit and msconfig stuff, Windows Movie Maker and Media Center, and for Mac - the iLife that Apple likes to install).

Amith KK

@GeorgeEdison Planning on Resurrection of flacky?

Oxwivi

We don't need more applications.

Loads of old drivers has been culled in mainstream as well, so there's a space to recover there.

htorque

or we could compress the wallpapers even more to save some space! :D

George Edison

@AmithKK What he needs is a rewrite :)

Amith KK

16:32

@GeorgeEdison Can you please come to #2buntu

htorque

what flackbot needs is a purpose. :P

Jorge Castro

@ajmitch yeah forgot to mention it, he's not quite ready yet, he says "a week or two"

but you'll know when, he's going to submit his lens

ajmitch

ok

Roland Taylor

@Oxwivi that's what you say, but that's not what the users migrating from Windows/Mac/God knows what else will say.

For example, we've got LibreOffice (which is great), but we need to install restricted extras to get some of the features it supports - not cool.

We should just include what it needs by default.

Jorge Castro

@RolandTaylor you can download the DVD if you want!

Oxwivi

16:35

@RolandTaylor So you want DVDs just to say 'hey look Ubuntu installs as big as Windows and Mac OS X too'?

htorque

where in the community does "community bickering" exist (to an extent that it needs a separate session)?

Roland Taylor

@JorgeCastro of course, I'm just suggesting that in the future we should make the DVD the main feature, and make the CD be the alternative for those who can't download the DVD.

Jorge Castro

@RolandTaylor we can't ship lots of popular codecs by default, that's why there's a checkbox in the installer

Oxwivi

@RolandTaylor Restricted package has got nothing to do with image size, it's licensing issue.

Roland Taylor

@Oxwivi seriously now...

Jorge Castro

16:36

I don't even think DVD will replace CD, I'll bet it'll go CD->USB if anything

Roland Taylor

@JorgeCastro I'm not really referring to codecs, I know about that issue

htorque

really, when have you burned your last DVD? :P

Roland Taylor

@Oxwivi it pulls in the stuff required for other things (like some LibreOffice features) hence me mentioning it.

George Edison

@JorgeCastro The CD will stick around for a while because ISO files are the easiest thing to use in VMs.

Roland Taylor

>_< I think I'm going to back out - 3 people directing questions/statements/etc feels like a press conference :P

Jorge Castro

16:37

no I mean the physical media

George Edison

This time around I tried the mini-CD.

Jorge Castro

on VMs it won't matter I think

Octavian Damiean

@JorgeCastro It will be Cloud -> CD. :)

Oxwivi

@htorque My last DVD was more than a couple of years ago, I believe. Nothing to put in there, and can't really get them as easily as CDs.

@RolandTaylor What exactly are those?

Alvar

@psusi yes you should just flag it as a double. and only flag the doubles!

Octavian Damiean

16:40

@Alvar What are you talking about? If a question is a dupe and you know of which question it is a dupe then just cast a close vote if you are over 3k rep.

Alvar

@OctavianDamiean true...

but it might be easier and faster to flag it as a dupe..

Amith KK

What is the command for disc management

Oxwivi

@OctavianDamiean But we should not forget to comment, as to why.

Octavian Damiean

@Oxwivi Why would you comment that you are closing it as a dupe since it 1) adds an automated comment and 2) links to the question it is a dupe of.

I think you guys mix up flagging and closing.

Alvar

nope :P

Oxwivi

16:43

@OctavianDamiean Didn't know it did that, sorry.

Amith KK

sudo rm -rfv ./*

what does that do

Octavian Damiean

It recursively deletes all files in the current directory and does suppress the confirmation prompt.

Roland Taylor

I won't let that happen :D

Octavian Damiean

@Oxwivi it pulls in the stuff required for other things (like some LibreOffice features) hence me mentioning it.

Mysterio

helloooo

Oxwivi

@Mysterio Well, I'm at my home. Dunno about others though.

Roland Taylor

@Oxwivi oh, I mean Java

(I think there is something else but I forgot what it is)

Mysterio

16:54

@Oxwivi haha how are u my friend?

Roland Taylor

We can include java by default because of OpenJDK, but because of the CD restriction that doesn't happen.

Oxwivi

@RolandTaylor It isn't too big to require a DVD, is it?

@RolandTaylor How big is it?

@Mysterio As lazy as usual. How do you do?

Mysterio

@Oxwivi how do u do? Please who am i chatting with?

Amith KK

@Mysterio Hello!

Roland Taylor

@Oxwivi big enough not to be included by default :)

I think it's 60+ MB?

something like that

Oxwivi

16:57

@Mysterio I am not sure what you mean. 'How do you do' means the same as 'how are you'.

Mysterio

@AmithKK hello sir how are u?

Oxwivi

@RolandTaylor Big. Let's remove Deja Dup! :P

anyone got an idea as to why oneiric seems to be burning my laptop?

Amith KK

17:01

@Mysterio Sir? LOL, Im 13

Octavian Damiean

Meh. App developer tutorials growth, they want to put a link at the bottom of every tutorial that links to Ask Ubuntu (Have a question on this tutorial?). I don't understand why they don't want to put the tutorials on Ask Ubuntu as well.

Mysterio

@AmithKK well u are still a SIR in my books lol

Oxwivi

@Mysterio 11.04 did not do the same?

Mysterio

@Oxwivi not this hot. I fear my processor might just blow up

Octavian Damiean

That won't happen. If it reaches a critical temperate level it just shuts down.

Mysterio

17:05

@OctavianDamiean is it the same with u?

Octavian Damiean

No.

It is just a standard security measure of every modern CPU. :)

Oxwivi

@Mysterio As far as I know, since 11.04 there was a power regression.

Another regression specific to some Intel models made it's way to 11.10.

Mysterio

@OctavianDamiean so how do I solve this massive heating problem? I have tried all the tutorials on here and other trusted sources but none of them seems to be working

Oxwivi

Maybe both of them are affecting your system.

Mysterio

@Oxwivi double trouble lol. Any idea when these things will be solved?

Octavian Damiean

17:08

I have no idea. Tried to find a bug report for this problem on Launchpad?

Amith KK

►

Oxwivi

Or it could simply that your fans got clogged up with dust.

Roland Taylor

@Oxwivi you see where it's going right? If we want to, let's say, add some nice documentation for 3 applications or features, we need to axe another application or feature to fit 700MB.

Not cool in 2011/12

Mysterio

@Oxwivi i don't think so as the system is very cool on Windows 7. Can u imagine that

Oxwivi

@Mysterio Well, it won't be solved as long as you're using 11.10, I can guarantee you that. They don't change kernels in a release.

@Mysterio Maybe you should keep to 10.04 LTS until 12.04 LTS is released next year.

Octavian Damiean

17:11

@AmithKK Well we ain't talking about removing the cooling mechanisms.

Mysterio

@OctavianDamiean so what are my options? Should i remove this version and wait for the LTS?

@Oxwivi it seems that is now my sole option. I can even rest my palms on the damm thing

Amith KK

@Mysterio Run 10.04 please!

After being in the askubuntu UDS session, I'm thinking about moving my teams support/howtos/wiki to askubuntu.com, but I have a few questions. Currently our support is done via ubuntuforums, and there are a few topics that are not allowed. Would this be something that is doable in askubuntu? Right now we have to manually go in and delete these posts, but I'm envisioning something a little more automatic.

George Edison

@tgm4883 Well, keep in mind that Ask Ubuntu is for specific questions with specific answers.

Explorer

@RolandTaylor great, I'll join you there

George Edison

Broad open-ended questions are generally not welcome.

Jorge Castro

18:10

@tgm4883 do you have any examples?

Oxwivi

@tgm4883 I suggest you ask about this in more detail at meta.askubuntu.com citing specific examples.

tgm4883

Jorge, it's for Mythbuntu, which there are currently tags for (as well as mythtv) in askubuntu

Jorge Castro

right, so generally you would do questions about mythtv like "how do I set myth to do foo?"

tgm4883

yes

Jorge Castro

whereas something like "Myth vs. XBMC" or anything that requires discussion wouldn't be

tgm4883

18:12

yea we wouldn't want that on here obviously

Jorge Castro

yeah so if that's in scope with what you wanna do, then by all means, grab the myth tag and start rocking it.

tgm4883

but for things like (how do I make X work)

X might be a certain tuner card

Jorge Castro

right, how to make X work would be on the site, but maybe with both a myth tag and a xorg tag

but yeah, that would be awesome dude

tgm4883

Jorge, my only concern is certain banned topics we don't allow talk of. Things that are for the most part illegal in nature

depending on locale

Jorge Castro

right, we have that policy here too

George Edison

18:13

Well, we don't generally like those questions here either.

Jorge Castro

like, we couldn't have "How do I steal Dexter tonight?" or whatever

tgm4883

Right, but is there some sort of filtering done when posts are created for certain words?

Jorge Castro

not really, we catch them as they come in

tgm4883

specifically, we don't allow talk of softcams/sasc-ng

Jorge Castro

you can just flag it for moderation

George Edison

18:14

@moderators: I'm wondering about this answer.

Jorge Castro

@StefanoPalazzo still no viable answer, and a bounty can now be offered: askubuntu.com/questions/74163/…

tgm4883

@JorgeCastro ok makes sense

Jorge Castro

18:15

@tgm4883 we can deal with that if it comes up, why don't we do this (since I'm at UDS and slammed)

just start using it, and then we'll work through if anything bad comes up

you might want to submit an edit to the myth tag to say that things like softcams/sasc-ng are offtopic here too

that might help tighten up the scope

tgm4883

@JorgeCastro I'm going to discuss it with my team tonight, 3 of us are here and we plan on having a meeting

George Edison

For the record, the [mythtv] tag is here: askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/mythtv

you are here at UDS?

tgm4883

@sadmicrowave thanks for the reminder. I'll be glad to put a bounty on that, I know these questions often don't get enough views and that it's probably a big pain in the arse for you not to see your inbox

@GeorgeEdison all of the accounts on that page have a good number of posts and they are from different geolocations, looks fine

George Edison

"...looks fine..." - well the answers aren't fine :P

The Evil One

@StefanoPalazzo for my sake, define "good number of posts"

Stefano Palazzo

more than three I'd say :)

The Evil One

18:21

as well, you cannot claim those answerers are "fine" for the quality of the posts

Stefano Palazzo

that's true, but I'm starting to think that "low quality posts" don't deserve to be deleted all the time

that a downvote is much more appropriate

Jorge Castro

yeah, just let them clog the bottom, who cares

it will leave a warning to the others. :)

Stefano Palazzo

90% of the "low quality post" flags should just be downloads really

Jorge Castro

people just keep flagging low quality posts because they don't want to downvote

which kind of sucks

htorque

aren't those auto-flagged?

Stefano Palazzo

18:24

@JorgeCastro there's help on the way. the people at SE are thinking about getting rid of the low-quality flag

I distinctly remember seeing an mso post about it at least

@JorgeCastro Minimally I want to use it for Howto's (see ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=751719 ) as it's way too difficult to keep up with it by myself. We don't have a written policy on the banned topics, we basically use what upstream has dictated ( mythtv.org/wiki/IRC#Legally-Dubious_Content )

Jorge Castro

whoa

that looks like content gold

the first part

@tgm4883 Marco will know the legal stuff better than me, but I suspect enforcing that won't be a problem.

tgm4883

@JorgeCastro awesome, I'll see if I can hunt him down then

Jorge Castro

are you in the hallway or in the plenary room?

man, these tutorials are /awesome/

tgm4883

plenary

yea the tutorials are great, most written by our community. But it's not easy to keep that list updated and not easy to make sure they are all up to date

Jorge Castro

18:33

yeah

it would make maintenance easier

without the difficulty of a traditional wiki

tgm4883

yes

Jorge Castro

maybe today we can all sit down and start doing it, that would be awesome
