[16:18] <mhr3> larsu, what installs com.canonical.indicator.sound?
[16:18] <mhr3> and hello btw :)
[16:33] <larsu> mhr3, indicator-sound
[16:33] <larsu> mhr3, and hello btw :)
[16:34] <mhr3> larsu, that exact pkg?
[16:34] <mhr3> includes the schema?
[16:35] <larsu> mhr3, yeah, I think so. I couldn't imagine anything else creating that schema
[16:35] <larsu> let me check
[16:36] <larsu> $ dpkg -S /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/com.canonical.indicator.sound.gschema.xml
[16:36] <larsu> indicator-sound: /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/com.canonical.indicator.sound.gschema.xml
[16:36] <larsu> mhr3, ^^
[16:36] <mhr3> hmm, now i wonder how come that libunity tests pass then
[16:37] <larsu> hehe
[16:37] <larsu> a bug?
[16:38] <jbicha> mhr3: is it because unity depends on indicator-sound?
[16:38] <mhr3> unity might, but libunity doesn't
[16:40] <attente> is anyone able to bzr branch ubuntu:empathy?
[16:45] <attente> sorry, never mind, i did lp:empathy instead
[16:46] <mhr3> oh, i see why do they pass

[22:06] <Sweetsha1k> 22:23 <@shm_get> Sweetsha1k I could not help 1/ I was not here, 2/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/1452996/plain/ apparently request a launchpad login
[22:08] <Sweetsha1k> ^^ why are we doing this ^&*^ btw? The only thing it does is: a/ make ubuntu-users chance of help go to zero on a general question b/ make people hate ubuntu
[22:24] <desrt> Sweetsha1k: people were using it for distribution of malware
[22:24] <desrt> requiring signon short-circuited that
[22:25] <robru> this is why we can't have nice things :-(
[22:25] <desrt> fpaste solves the problem in a much nicer way
[22:25] <desrt> it asks for a captcha after a certain number of views
[22:38] <Sweetsha1k> desrt: yep.
[22:40] <Sweetsha1k> desrt: the problem is, people arent even noticing it. they are signed on, use paste.u.c without a hassle, and ask over at e.g. #libreoffice and get flamed by someone who actually wanted to help them ...
[22:41] <desrt> Sweetsha1k: i use fpaste :)
[22:42] <Sweetsha1k> I use good ol' pastebin, it does what I need. Its other users that get the trouble.
[22:43] <Sweetsha1k> desrt: and if its 'hey, this is my first build and I have this problem?' post that sucks ...
[23:01] <rickspencer3> hey all ... let's say I had "a friend" who wanted to buy a game to "test" steam on Ubuntu
[23:01] <rickspencer3> which would you recommend?
[23:01] <bcurtiswx> TF2 is free, thats OK
[23:02] <bcurtiswx> World of goo has high ratings, it's more like a puzzle game, but fun too
[23:02] <rickspencer3> bcurtiswx, ok, I'll let him know
[23:02] <rickspencer3> bcurtiswx, well, this friend has played world of goo, and found it to be kind of like work
[23:03] <bcurtiswx> haha, so don't use the brain.. got it
[23:03] <rickspencer3> bcurtiswx, anyway he/she is trying team fortress 2 ;)
[23:03] <bcurtiswx> good, i'm waiting for counterstrike to make it to Linux, if that happens in the next century
[23:08] <rickspencer3> tf2 is a 12.2 gb download?
[23:08] <rickspencer3> woah
[23:09] <bcurtiswx> orangebox is large
[23:09] <bcurtiswx> but a lot of games run on it
[23:09] <bcurtiswx> so i hope porting those to linux will be quick.. even in valve time..
[23:10] <sarnold> rickspencer3: how much effort was it to go through the wine+windows steam route to unlock the beta?
[23:10] <bcurtiswx> sarnold, it's open to everyone now
[23:11] <bcurtiswx> store.steampowered.com
[23:11] <rickspencer3> sarnold, I just downloaded directly from steam
[23:11] <sarnold> bcurtiswx: oh, heh, so I'm back to nothing special? :)
[23:11] <bcurtiswx> ;)
[23:12] <sarnold> well, that's probably for the best. I let the whole wine+steam thing to unlock it block me from ever trying the beta...
