hughsiealso, I wanted to spilt up the g-p-p screen into an extra tab "advanced" - is that a good idea / bad idea?12:02
herziseb128: ping12:03
seb128herzi: pong12:03
herziseb128: any chance to get tag-writing enabled in ubuntu unstable's rhythmbox?12:03
mitsuhikodoes anybody knows which PCI class represent which device?12:03
mitsuhikoi think PCI class 3 are graphic cards12:03
ograhughsie, what do you want to put there ?12:04
hughsie"Battery is critical when" and the 4 checkboxes12:04
hughsiei'm sure other stuff will com up12:04
seb128herzi: I'll ping upstream, but according to teuf it doesn't work fine 12:04
seb128herzi: I don't want to create a bug flood on that12:04
herziseb128: of course12:05

herzii was just asking, because people in #rhythbox told me about a month ago that they are using it fine12:05
ograhughsie, yes, why not, i see no problem with another tab12:05
herzi.oO(and someone will need to enable it by default to get the missing bits fixed)12:05
seb128herzi: really dependant of the kind of file you edit according to teuf12:05
seb128yeah12:06
mitsuhikook. I've found something: http://developer.apple.com/qa/hw/hw91.html12:06
seb128but before pushing on upstream I prefer to be sure than upstream will respond12:06
hughsiesweet, consider it done. I can only see more options coming for differnt things, and I don;t want to blind the average user when the defaults would do fine for most cases12:06
herziseb128: okay, i'll file a bug and add you and teuf to the cc12:06
herzithen we can discuss it there, better than irc12:06
seb128thanks12:06
seb128upstream bug?12:06
ograi think it also gives the options tab a better look, it appears quite full currently12:07
hughsieogra: agreed.12:08
herziseb128: ubuntu12:08
seb128maybe putting that upstream to discuss the default value for the configure option12:08
herziokay12:09
seb128I would be happy to follow upstream on this12:09
seb128and both teuf and me are subscribed to the upstream bugzilla for it12:09

Burgundaviahughsie, most applets are single click12:30
ograBurgundavia, its a tray icon, no applet12:32
Burgundaviaagain, single click12:32
hughsienotification area icon, i guess that changes things12:32
hughsieokay, i admit i can't think of any icons in the tray i double click12:33
ograi only have gaim here and thats not really representative for good HIG but uses single click12:34
hughsieokay, i'll add it, and see if i get shouted at.12:35
ograyep :)12:35
ogragood plan12:35
hughsiei can always remove the option from g-p-p and keep it as a gconf12:35
Burgundaviabeagle and blam also use signal click12:35

wasabiSo, how long does it usually take between buildd building a package and it showing up in the archive?04:40
tsengthe master archive updates every 30 minutes iirc04:40
wasabiAnd what time zone is people.ubuntu.com in?04:41

wasabiBUt it'll be stuck behind ecj-bootstrap anyways.04:45
tsengyeah dont upload anything else that will just fail04:47
tsengit would require manual kicking or more uploads04:47
infinity<shrug>, if it has proper build-deps, it won't fail, it'll just enter dep-wait.05:04
infinityAlso, katie mails the uploader on NEW source/binaries.  That's why you get a mail for NEW sources, but the buildd gets a mail for binaries.  A weird side-effect of source-only uploading.05:05

Kamionstrace it11:32

fabbioneKamion: i think it would rather easy to patch anna to install a local deb :)02:31
fabbioneKamion: given that anna is capable of installing the templates properly02:31
Kamionprobably better to make udpkg do it right, imho02:32
Kamionalthough actually that doesn't help you02:33
Kamionnow that I remember, the problem is not anna vs. udpkg02:33
Kamionit's running something in tty1 (subprocess of the main running debconf instance) versus running it from a shell on tty202:33
sivangKamion: what does anna do?02:33
HiddenWolfwho is the thunderbird maintainer?02:33
Kamionsivang: roughly, apt equivalent for d-i02:33
fabbioneKamion: it's interesting that templates.db isn't updated at all 02:34
Kamionfabbione: the problem is that there's no mechanism for something you run by hand on tty2 to communicate with the main running debconf instance on tty1 to tell it to load new templates02:34
fabbioneKamion: the template file it's simply not changed02:34
Kamionfabbione: it almost certainly is, but gets overwritten shortly afterwards when debconf on tty1 next saves02:34
fabbioneoh hmm02:34
Kamionwe need some kind of out-of-band communication, maybe a signal you send to debconf after fiddling with templates.db02:35
fabbioneKamion: no.. it's not modified at all02:35
Kamionudpkg calls debconf-loadtemplate when it sees a .templates file02:35
fabbionehmmm ok. you are right...02:38

maedanielki, what I mean is, gtkmm is a wrapper over the c functions also using libsigc.. is GObject is meant to replace gtkmm, right? .. I know that gtk uses and object oriented design10:51
maeer gtkmm is a wrapper for the C functions providing C++ bindings, rather :)10:51
danielkimae: GObject is written in C10:56
danielkiglibmm wraps it too10:57
maeermm but i think GObject was new.. is it not replacing something else?:10:57
danielkiit replaced GtkObject as a base class for everything10:58
danielkiwithout being GUI related10:58
danielkii.e. it's kind of a design cleanup10:58

lamontelmo about?11:10
wasabi_GObject is not new. And I don't know what you mean about "main purpose"11:14
wasabi_All of Gtk is built with GObject.11:14
sivangwasabi_ is right, AFAIK11:15
wasabi_gtkmm is just a wrapper around Gtk's GObjects (and probably extending into Gnome stuff too) in C++, so you can use real C++ classes11:15
sivangIMHO, right again11:15
wasabi_GObject itself is just really a small framework and some standards for writing structs so you can prentend to use objects in C.11:15
sivang(at least that's what I Know that gtkmm is)11:15
wasabi_s/small/big/11:16
wasabi_Heh. Eclipse ssureees has been building a long time.11:16
danielkiwasabi: I was talking about the main purpose of GtkObject, to explain why it's actually there at all11:17
danielkiinstead of just deriving from GObject directly11:17
wasabi_depends what you were tlaking about11:17
wasabi_GObject the project or GObject the class.11:18
