BojohnV said I can find you here08:13
Bo: )08:13
Bothe hildon-control-panel build successfully now :)08:13
Bothanks to johnV's help08:13
bspencergood to hear08:14
bspencerw/ osso-af-settings change?08:14
Boyes08:14
bspenceris hildon-libs-base for control panel or hildon-desktop?08:14
bspencerbecause I can build hildon-desktop on my system and I don't have hildon-libs-base08:14
Bowe just have to start from a clean repo08:14
bspencerI think that tko said hildon-lib-base was outdated and no longer needed.08:14
Bofor control panel08:15
bspencerok08:15
bspencerso control panel needs osso-af-settings and hildon-base-libs08:15
Boabsolutely :_08:15
bspencerand this is from the recent "refactoring" code Nokia pointed us at, right?08:15
Boyes08:15
bspencerok.  got it08:15
BoI'm working on the clock thing08:16
Boone little question08:16
bspenceryes08:16
Bohow do I config the length of my applet08:16
Boseems that it's too short08:16
bspencerset the preferred size08:17
HappyCamp-JohnWho let Bo on here? ;)08:17
=== bspencer gets the exact code...
Boha, hi, JohnV08:17
bspencergtk_widget_set_size_request (btn, 52, 52);08:17
bspencerjust make it wider.08:18
BoI see, doesn't see any change though08:18
BoI didn't already 08:18
bspencerthe problem with the top marquee is that it uses a GtkHBox, so all the controls just get packed to the left08:18
HappyCamp-JohnHi Bo!08:18
BoI'll try 08:18
bspencerhm... I tried this a few days ago and it seemed to work08:18
Bomaybe some other mistake :)08:19
BoI can fix it, hah08:19
Bo:)08:19
bspenceri need to figure out how to make a plugin stretch to fill the max horiz space.08:19
bspencerI'm sure there is a way , but I don't know it off the top of my head.08:19
bspencerjust make it fixed for now and we'll adjust it later.08:19
BoOK08:20
Mithrandirmorning08:23
bspencerMithrandir, morning, or...not for another 30mins08:24
MithrandirIRC greeting time.  Always morning. :-)08:24
bspencerchecking out for the night08:25
bspencerBo, anything else?08:25
bspencerBo -- can you see if horaceli needs anything?08:26
MithrandirBo: what source package is hildon-libs-base built from?08:26
=== bspencer checks maemo trunk...
Mithrandirhttps://stage.maemo.org/svn/maemo/projects/haf/trunk/hildon-base-lib/ ?08:27
bspencerI think we got it from https://stage.maemo.org/svn/maemo/projects/haf/trunk/hildon-base-lib/08:27
bspenceryes.08:27
Mithrandirsomehow that doesn't look too alive.08:27
Mithrandirlast entry in the changelog is in october 200608:28
bspencerI think there must be a lingering dependency inside the control panel code08:28
bspencerwe just need to ferret it out08:28
Mithrandirif it's something we need, I'll be happy to get it into the repo, but I'm just a tad sceptical until some of the maemo guys tell me otherwise.08:28
bspenceryep08:29
Boyes08:29
Bofrom https://stage.maemo.org/svn/maemo/projects/haf/trunk/hildon-base-lib/08:29
bspencerlet's get tko or other Nokia guys to suggest a solution08:29
Mithrandirtko_: ^^ ; could you give us a hint as to whether hildon-base-lib is used or not?08:30
bspencerI'm going to sleep.  Take care.08:32

Mithrandiragoliveira_BRB: so, I'm looking at matchbox-window-manager, and tbh, I'd rather just port the few fixes we want than use the maemo one.03:24
tko_it's that bad? :-] 03:27
Mithrandirno, not really, but easy merging with Debian is something we care about.03:29
Mithrandirso it's actually more that it doesn't gain us anything significant to go with the maemo one.03:30
agoliveiraMithrandir: I agree with you but we need something fast for testing and Matt asked me to import this one in a different branch so I did it.03:33
agoliveiraBTW, IIRC maemo's version is upstream + patches so it shouldn't be hard to sync anyway.03:36
Mithrandirthe packaging seems to be based on an old debian snapshot03:37
agoliveiraThe packaging maybe but the code itself comes from a very new matchbox WM.03:39
agoliveiraWe can just revamp the packaging...03:40
Mithrandirthe complete size of the diff is about 2.5kloc; it's not a big deal to fix.03:41
Mithrandirand most of that again is theme stuff03:42
agoliveiraMithrandir: Yes, that's true. Well, if you think so, it's the same to me.03:46
Mithrandirhm, we should probably get upstream's SVN imported03:46
Mithrandirany chance you could get it imported?  http://svn.o-hand.com/repos/matchbox/trunk/matchbox-window-manager03:47
agoliveiraI still don't get power to do it. I can just prepare and ask.03:47
agoliveiraBut we already have it on main so what do you suggest?03:48
Mithrandirwell, upstream's repo is the one listed above; I suggest we get that imported, branch into ~ubuntu-mobile and work on getting a good package there.03:49
agoliveiraI understood that, I mean we already have a matchbox WM in the gutsy repository. Are you talking about replace it?03:51
Mithrandiroh, yes, or just update it with the patches we want03:51
agoliveiraAh, fine. I just tought that was exactly to not mess with the current package that Matt asked to import that one in a different branch.03:52
agoliveirathat one = maemo's03:53
=== sabotage_afk is now known as sabotage
Mithrandirnow, let's see if this thingabob builds.04:09
agoliveiraMithrandir: Are you talking about which one?04:12
Mithrandirmatchbox-wm04:12
agoliveiraOk, so I think we should sync here :) Have you imported from svn and are building it or just building the one from maemo that I imported before?04:13
Mithrandirno. :-)04:14
MithrandirI've taken the delta between maemo's svn version and the one already in the archive and blatted most of the delta onto the latter.04:14
agoliveiraGot it.04:15
MithrandirI'd like to get an import of upstream svn so we can look at what the delta there is and get it down.04:16
agoliveiraFine. I'll arrange that on LP.04:21
agoliveiraDone. Just need to poke someone to import it.04:23
Mithrandirthanks a lot04:24
agoliveira(Less than 2.5 minutes - I'm getting good at this ;) )04:24
Mithrandiryup, you are. :-)04:24

agoliveiraNew matchbox window manager seens to be running ok. I've being playing with it a bit now with no crashes.07:56
agoliveiraMithrandir: Looks like your changes didn't break anything very basic. Let's see if the other guys find anything.07:59
agoliveiraBy "very basic" I mean anything so obvious that a can crash right away ;)07:59
agoliveiraa/a/I07:59
agoliveiraGeez... I think I need a coffee08:00
agoliveirarusty, bobux: New matchbox-window-manager is on the repository. Give it a shot if you dare ;)08:04

=== feig_ [n=ejf3@c-65-96-185-67.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-mobile

=== Lure [n=lure@89-212-19-55.dynamic.dsl.t-2.net] has joined #ubuntu-mobile
agoliveirarusty: Don't need to be now, I can wait a bit.08:45
rustyagoliveira, lets go ahead and chat08:45
agoliveiraFine. To me. So, what do you have in mind?08:46
rustywell... i think we need a mininalized display manager08:46
rustywhere at the very least, we start with an upstart script that reads a config to find the default user, and then starts X and then starts a bunch of session scripts08:47
agoliveiraAs a mean to login? Multiple users?08:47
rustyeventually, this would provide the ability to have multi-user login08:48
rustyright now i have a helloworld upstart script that runs startx as root08:48
rustyand then have /root/.xinitrc that startsup hildon08:48
agoliveiraIf you think multi user is necessary (and I tend to agree), I would go for the minimal-gdm from start.08:49
rustythis is a bit of a hack, but works08:49
rustywhat all does a minimal-gdm pull in?08:49
agoliveiraBTW, minimal-gdm is a way of speak :) I don't actually know if there is one :)08:49
agoliveiraI'll have to check if there is such a beast.08:50
rustyok08:50
agoliveiraBut if there is, it will make things easier for us.08:50
rustyso then... what all does gdm bring in?08:50
agoliveiraWell, from start, things like remote logins we don't need I guess.08:52
rustyyea08:52
agoliveiraperhaps we could try XDM08:52
rustyi was thinking more long term08:52
agoliveiraHmmm...08:53
rustyhell, we can just have an upstart script and configure xinitrc08:53
rustythat is, configure xinitrc to startup hildon-desktop and all it's deps08:53
agoliveiraI think we need to round up what we need and choose something based on this but, for starts, I don't think that we need to put our expectations very high or we might get in trouble with lots of libs, dependencies, etc08:53
rustyis there a mdm?  as in mobile desktop manager?08:54
agoliveiraWhat about xdm? It's simple but flexible enough I guess.08:54
agoliveiraDunno08:54
agoliveiraGive some time to reseach a bit08:55
rustyit's just if we created something real quick, where for starters it's a simple upstart script, then we could add a new package called something like mdm08:55
agoliveiraLet's compromize then, give me today to research the subject and if I didn'y come out with something we do our way, is that ok?08:58

Mithrandiruse gdm with autologin?09:48
Mithrandirrusty: have you had any progress on the project-builder front, doing stuff as non-root?09:48
Mithrandiror would you like me to plunge into it?09:48
=== Lure_ [n=lure@89-212-19-55.dynamic.dsl.t-2.net] has joined #ubuntu-mobile
agoliveiraMithrandir: we are talking about having something lighter than gdm but with more or less the same main features.10:18
Mithrandiragoliveira: but why?10:19
agoliveiraMithrandir: Why what? No use gdm or use something similar? :)10:19
Mithrandirwhy not use gdm10:19
Mithrandir?10:19
agoliveiraIt is an option but if we are thinking about reduce resurces, I want to check lighter alternatives.10:20
agoliveirareduce dependencies, etc10:20
agoliveiraI did not eliminate the idea of using gdm, just want to be sure it's the best way.10:21
MithrandirI think we should use gdm if we want to have multiuser support (something I'm not convinced we really want) or just an upstart script or similar if not.10:22
agoliveiraI think that at least for webpads, multiuser is good as it's not a very personal device, it's expensive and, as such, tend to be shared.10:23
Mithrandirdepends on where in the world you are, I guess.. I consider a laptop (which is even more expensive) a personal device which I don't share with anybody.10:26
agoliveiraMithrandir: Well, I don't share mine either but I do share my n770 with my wife (not now, I got her a Palm TX :) ) so, anyway, there's aways the option to autologin.10:28
Mithrandiryeah10:29
agoliveiraAnyway, so far I didn't see much difference between using XDM or GDM, for instance. GDM is bigger, of course, but we do have space and GDM integrates better, looks nicer. So, I'm between use GDM or nothing, just a startup script.10:30
