[15:43] <mac9416> Hello, I would like to know how gnome-app-install determines what software to display. Obviously it only displays top-level apps, not dependencies. Also, how does it determine what category a package is in? None of that info is in the package index files.
[15:44] <pochu> macvr: I think it uses the data in the app-install-data package
[15:44] <pochu> the .desktop files in there, that is
[15:46] <pochu> mac9416: ^ that was for you :)
[15:46] <pochu> macvr: sorry
[15:46] <macvr> np :)
[15:47] <mac9416> Haha. So it lists all packs that have .desktop files in there, and the category info is in the .desktop's too?
[15:48] <james_w> pretty much
[15:49] <james_w> there are a few .desktop files added that aren't actually in packages to make a few more things appear
[15:49] <james_w> and there are possibly a few things blacklisted or overriden, but that's the basic idea
[15:49] <mac9416> OK, cool. Thanks.
[15:52] <mac9416> May I ask where the .desktops are kept?
[15:56] <pochu> mac9416: what do you mean?
[15:56] <mac9416> If all the software listed in gnome-app-install is taken from .desktop files, where are the .desktops located?
[15:58] <pochu> in app-install-data :)
[15:58] <pochu> or in /usr/share/app-install/desktop/ in the filesystem
[15:58] <mac9416> Ah, OK, thanks a lot :-)

[16:08] <asacasa> bryce: tjaalton: so i upgraded this inspiron 6400 to hardy and dont get a good resolution
[16:08] <asacasa> damn pidgin thing
[16:08] <asacasa> no nick changing
[16:09] <asacasa> i run out of ideas ... using no xorg.conf gives me 800x600
[16:09] <asacasa> is i810 still a valid driver name at all in hardy?
[16:12] <asacasa> ok restarting X
[16:13] <kathmich> ok thanks. removing xorg.conf.failsafe and xorg.conf helped
[16:13] <kathmich> bryce: maybe we should move the .failsafe file away and only use it if nothing else works?
[16:14] <kathmich> anyway. lets talk about that later
[16:14] <kathmich> going off!
