[14:37] <Top0R> Buffer I\O error on device logical block 0

[15:01] <crevette> Top0R, look at the topic, user support in #ubuntu
[15:02] <Top0R> At all channels to ask me speak in a another place
[16:06] <pitti> wow, so now ffox offers gnash, swfdec, and the proprietary adobe plugin; what a choice :)
[16:09] <crevette> pitti, add an entry in prefered application for flash playerin GNOME :)
[16:41] <seb128> mvo: do you have a dapper install handy?
[16:41] <mvo> seb128: if a VM is good enough, then yes
[16:42] <seb128> mvo: could you look what Icon is used in firefox.desktop?
[16:42] <seb128> mvo: I updated one of my box and the gnome-panel launchad had no icon, it was still using mozilla-firefox as icon apparently
[16:43] <seb128> I'm wondering if that was pre dapper install, I'm not sure now
[16:43] <seb128> having to keep compatibility icons suck
[16:44] <mvo> seb128: let me check
[16:44] <mvo> seb128: thunderbird changed icon names
[16:45] <seb128> mvo: btw I also got an update-manager crash report about os not being defined, known issue?
[16:47] <mvo> seb128: what is the easiest way to find out about the icon name (where is the desktop file?)
[16:48] <mvo> seb128: was that with the last update-manager in dapper/gutsy (the one in -updates?)
[16:48] <seb128> mvo: /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop
[16:48] <seb128> mvo: yes
[16:48] <mvo> seb128: could you please paste me the bugreport somewhere?
[16:48] <seb128> mvo: ok, need to turn to box on, one minute
[16:48] <mvo> seb128: Icon=mozilla-firefox.png
[16:49] <seb128> ok, thanks
[16:49] <seb128> asac: ^ dapper upgrades will have a broken firefox icon on the gnome-panel, known issue?
[16:49] <asac> not known
[16:50] <mvo> hrm, another duplicate of the scrollkepper crash
[16:50] <mvo> asac: same for thunderbird IIRC
[16:50] <asac> yeah, but i don't see a cure for that now
[16:50] <seb128> asac: compat symlink
[16:50] <mvo> seb128: do we have a master for the scrollkeeper crash?
[16:50] <asac> was the .desktop file renamed?
[16:50] <seb128> asac: no, but a copy is created in the user directory and it uses this icon
[16:51] <seb128> mvo: no, a zillion of bugs which should probably just be dupped
[16:51] <mvo> ok - fair enough
[16:51] <asac> seb128: didn't you eplain to me that gnome doesn't copy things?
[16:51] <asac> or is that just for recent gnomes?
[16:51] <seb128> asac: I didn't? I'm not sure now, I need to ask to vuntz
[16:52] <seb128> asac: the default config has just the .desktop name, but I think on the first startup the gnome-panel copies the desktop to the user directory
[16:52] <asac> seb128: you did explain to me ... i checked that it does that for gutsy->hardy upgrade
[16:53] <asac> so probably a deficiency in dapper gnome
[16:53] <seb128> might be
[16:53] <asac> we can add a compatibility symlink
[16:55] <vuntz> seb128: mmh, what is copied?
[16:56] <vuntz> seb128_: don't try to run away when I speak ;-)
[16:56] <vuntz> 17:55 < vuntz> seb128: mmh, what is copied?
[16:56] <seb128_> vuntz: I don't, I just started IRC on an another computer
[16:56] <vuntz> if it's the desktop files, they're only copied when the user edits them
[16:57] <seb128_> vuntz: the launchers you have in the default profiles, are those just refering to the system .desktop or does the panel do a copy to .gnome2/panel.d/default?
[16:58] <seb128_> vuntz: ie, will it pick system changes or keep the static copy it had on first run?
[16:58] <vuntz> seb128_: the gconf config only contains firefox.desktop
[16:58] <vuntz> seb128_: the panel then searches in .gnome2/panel.d/default:/usr/share/applications
[16:58] <vuntz> (well, in XDG_DATA_DIRS not just /usr/share)
[17:01] <seb128_> vuntz: ok, so I do a dapper installation, log in, upgrade to hardy, what firefox.desktop is used?
[17:03] <vuntz> seb128: /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop (since you didn't modify it, so it doesn't exist in .gnome2/panel.d/default)
[17:04] <seb128> ok, so I might have edited the panel one by some way
[17:04] <seb128> I had a version is .gnome2/panel.d/default
[17:05] <vuntz> yeah, it means you edited it
[17:05] <seb128> ok, thanks
[17:05] <seb128> asac, mvo: ^
[17:06] <mvo> l,
[17:06] <mvo> km
[17:06] <mvo> ok
[17:06] <mvo> *sigh* fat fingers
[17:08] <asac> seb128: ok. so we are sure that dapper already did that. fine
[17:08] <asac> do we still need that image linked?
[17:08] <seb128> no, don't bother
[17:08] <asac> ok thanks
