seb128I didn't notice the pycairo changes had been done00:00
seb128I would have uploaded the pygtk changes otherwise00:00
pochuember: why?00:00
seb128they can be accepted after beta if those are stable updates00:03
pochuliferea is, and has a bug fix for 1.0 -> 1.4 cache updates, which is interesting for dapper->hardy upgrades00:05
pochuI think I'll call to Dell tomorrow to make sure everything's going fine ;)00:06

asacmvo: can you see whats wrong?11:07
asac(no its not known)11:07
mvoasac: I think the firefox-3.0-restart-required is lacking the "DisplaIf" line AFAICS11:07
asacstrange. i took it from the old package11:08

mvoasac: probably with a ps -C firefox-bin >/dev/null to avoid spittng stuff to ~/.xsession-errors11:10
asacthanks11:11
mvothank you !11:11
asacmvo: is there a pattern that also takes into account that firefox is running for the current user?11:12
mvoasac: update-notifier runs with the same uid as the logged in user, so we need to limited the ps to the users processes and we are good11:13

Hobbseeseb128: tbh, i'm not overly comfortable doing high-impact accepts, as i'm aware that a lot of the release decisions get taken in private areas, which i don't have access to.13:08

dholbachhorizontal 3, vertical 2, number of desktops 6?13:52
dholbachdoes that make sense?13:52
dholbachit was at 2, 1, 113:53

Amaranthyeah, those are easy :P15:26

pittiseb128: I can help out for easier cases15:38
pittiAmaranth: no, jockey itself does not have such lists; they are shipped by l-r-m15:38
Amaranthyeah, i found that out15:38
Amaranthbut they don't look like something i can use15:39
Amaranthif you're using a laptop with a chip supported by fglrx i want to block compiz loading if you're using ati15:39
pittiAmaranth: I don't quite understand why you would do this?15:40
Amaranthpitti: because those chips have problems with compiz and the ati driver15:41
pittiAmaranth: shouldn't you rather test for models where compiz works with the free ati driver? (independent of fglrx)?15:41
Amaranthrandom lockups15:41
Amaranththe only ones that seem to work right are the ones old enough that fglrx no longer supports them15:41
Amaranthright now i've just got all laptops using the ati driver blocked15:42
pittibut shouldn't this be a pretty static set?15:42
Amaranthit's a pretty large set too :P15:42
Amaranthand i don't know what all of them are15:42
Amaranthso i need to blacklist a bazillion pciids or whitelist a bazillion pciids15:43
Amaranthi'd like to have one of those lists autogenerated, if i can15:43
pittiright; however the autogeneration needs to have a solid criterium as well15:48
Amaranthwhat do you mean?15:48
pittiso at one point you have to input external knowledge15:48
pitti(like testing results, or feature tests, etc.)15:48
AmaranthIf you're on a laptop and fglrx supports your chip I want to block compiz from starting if you're using ati15:48
Amaranthuntil fglrx drops support for more cards this should work fine15:49
AmaranthI thought about doing a feature check to see what series of chip you had but the xpress 200 is one of the broken ones and it doesn't have shaders15:49
Amaranthso I ran out of things to chck15:49
Amaranthcheck*15:50
pittiAmaranth: so, for that you could check whether /usr/share/linux-restricted-modules/2.6.24-12-generic/modules.alias.override/fglrx has the graphics card15:50
pittibut that's a very ubuntu specific hack15:50
pittinot an upstream solution15:50
AmaranthYeah, but so was my last hack :P15:50
Amaranththe only problem is i don't know how to turn that file into something i can use :P15:51
Amaranthwhat do i read to compare to it? our current system is based on pciids as reported by lspci -n15:51
pittiright15:51
pittigrep -q 'pci:0000$VID:0000$PID' /usr/share/linux-restricted-modules/2.6.24-12-generic/modules.alias.override/fglrx15:52
pittisomehting like that15:52
pittithe better way is of course something like printf("%08X", vid)15:53
Amaranthoh, duh15:53
pittiAmaranth: those are modaliases, and for pci they are composed from vendor ID (v), product ID (p), subvendor (sv), subdevice (sd)15:53
pittiand device class, subclass, and interface15:53
pittiAmaranth: this entire hack is only necessary because both the fglrx and the nvidia kernel module do not have proper modaliases15:54
Amaranthyeah15:54
Amaranththey just always try to load, don't they?15:54
pittiAmaranth: e. g. if you look at "modinfo b43", it has15:54
pittibut modinfo nvidia ist just a catch-all15:55
pittiooh15:55
pittimodinfo fglrx -> that actually looks sensible with the latest version15:55
pittibefore it didn't have any15:55
pitti\o/15:55
Amaranthhey, that looks like your list :P15:55
pittiyay, so we can remove the list frim l-r-m15:55
pittiAmaranth: right, except that the nvidia and fglrx lists from l-r-m are created by some hackish parsing of the shared libraries :)15:56
pittiAmaranth: modinfo fglrx | grep -q is at least a hack which is not distro dependent15:56
Amaranthyeah, i remember when you first wrote this it didn't detect my chip and i got a different list when i ran the script than you15:57
pittiright, that's why we now have per-arch lists15:57
pitti(in gutsy, too)15:57
Amaranthpitti: except in can't guarantee fglrx (or l-r-m) will be installed so i'll probably just turn this into something i stuff in the compiz package15:57
pittiAmaranth: true that15:58
pittiAmaranth: but at least it's a script which you could run when you wrap a release15:58
Amaranthjust run a bit of regex magic over it to turn it into a regular pciid list so i don't have to write more code :)15:58
pittiit's just a handwavy heuristics anyway15:58
Amaranthoh, but i need separate arch versions15:58
Amaranthhrm15:58
pittiright, that should be easy15:58
Amaranthsure, except seb128 thinks we already call too many things in this shell script :)15:59
pittimodinfo fglrx | perl -ne 'if (/^alias:.*pci:v(\d+)d(\d+)/) { print "$1 $2\n" }'16:00
pittierm, not \d16:01
pitti[0-9A-F] of course16:02
pittianyway, you get the idea16:02
pittiAmaranth: per-arch> well, as you said it's only a handwavy hack, not a precise whitelist anyway16:02
Amaranthmodinfo fglrx | perl -ne 'if (/^alias:.*pci:v0000([0-9A-F]+)d0000([0-9A-F]+)/) { print "$1:$2\n" }'16:04

Amaranthgnome-menus offers no way to get items are are Hidden18:25
Amaranthand I mark things as Hidden to "delete" them18:25
seb128isn't the menu reset just a rm .config/something?18:25
seb128or wouldn't that work rather18:26
Amaranthwell no in this case i've changed the .desktop file18:26
Amaranthand you might have .desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications that alacarte didn't put there18:26

seb128I don't think the menu editor is that important18:28
seb128but I was trying to figure bugs that would be nice to fix for hardy18:28
Amaranthi could just remove all alacarte-made items18:28
seb128and that's the only alacarte one which seemed to be annoying18:28
Amaranthit might not recover everything but it should work 99% of the time18:28
seb128better than current ;-)18:28
Amaranthi think the rest of the alacarte bugs are it not responding well to your .menu files being broken18:31
Amaranthwhich means you're in trouble anyway18:31

mvoseb128: are you aware of http://paste.ubuntu.com/5693/ ? (and/or the right person to talk to :) ?18:37

* seb128 teachs crevette how to use bookmarks18:37
Amaranthdown to 202, wonder who closed another bug18:38
* Amaranth guesses pedro_18:38
mvojust koffice-dev and libgphoto2-2-dev file overwrite problem for most of hardy, that is pretty impressive18:38
Amaranthmvo: i've got a better fix for ati laptops18:38
Amaranthwell, i have all the stuff i need to code the better fix, just need to do it :)18:38
Amaranthalso, are you going to wait until after beta to update to git?18:39
seb128mvo: no, I'm not but I'm happy to fix it, pitti does update this package usually18:39
lapouhm, it's just me or there are problems with compiz+nvidia and the notification area?18:42
mvoseb128: I'm happy to do it, but I need to leave now for the evening so I can do it either tonight (late) or monday18:43
Amaranthlapo: just you?18:43
seb128mvo: ok, I can do it if you want18:43
Amaranthplease don't file a bug, i'll never get below 200 :P18:43
lapoeheh, ok, it's a known bug :-)18:43
Amaranthseb128: also, i know how you feel about libwnck, calc sends me all OOo bugs that he can't reproduce when the reporter is using compiz :P18:43
seb128Amaranth: ;-)18:44
Amaranthone of them got upstreamed twice18:44
seb128I used to do that too with libwnck bugs18:44
seb128but you kicked all those back :-p18:44
Amaranthi sent the bug to compiz-fusion and they send it to OOo18:44
AmaranthOOo is really cool, it requests 200x200 windows for dialogs much larger than 200x20018:45
Amaranthand requests that they are not resizeable18:45
mvoseb128: yeah, go ahead if you have time for it, if not, no problem, just let me know18:47
seb128mvo: ok, I'll go for dinner soon but might look at it after that18:49
mvothanks18:50
pedro_Amaranth: 200 ;-)18:52
Amaranthpedro_: yay19:03
=== asac_ is now known as asac
LaserJockpedro_: ping19:27
pedro_Amaranth: just below the 200 now woohoo19:35
pedro_LaserJock: hello19:35
Amaranthyep :)19:35
* Amaranth hugs pedro_19:35
* pedro_ hugs Amaranth back19:35
Amaranthnow it can't go back up, don't let anyone file new bugs19:35
LaserJockpedro_: I just wondered why you marked bug #183060 as Invalid19:35
ubotuLaunchpad bug 183060 in gnumeric "gnumeric crashed with SIGSEGV" [Medium,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/18306019:35
pedro_hahaha19:35
pedro_LaserJock: looking19:35
pedro_i've doing a lot of clean up lately19:36
LaserJockpedro_: I would think the LP Janitor would take care of it after 60 days19:36
pedro_LaserJock: more than a month in a incomplete state without a response from the reporter19:37
LaserJockand that's enough to get it marked "Invalid"?19:37
pedro_as i said i was doing some clean up lately, so that's why19:37
pedro_yes it is19:37
LaserJockok then19:37
Amaranthi'm trying to make compiz bugs look less depressing19:38
Amaranthso i'm not waiting 60 days for the janitor :P19:38
LaserJockalright, so we make it look like we dont' have bugs by just closing them?19:38
Amaranth30 days without a response for a bug i can't reproduce means no one is ever going to help me figure out how to fix it19:39
Amaranthwith compiz a driver point release or new compiz snapshot can cause and/or fix a million different problems19:39
pochudoes the janitor already close bugs? or is still disabled?19:40
Amaranthit claims it will19:40
Amaranthi haven't seen it do so19:40
pedro_haven't seen the janitor lately either19:40
LaserJockwell, in this case though, somebody just asked for a backtrace19:40
LaserJockbut shouldn't apport be providing those?19:41
Amaranthah, sometimes apport does a bad job19:41
Amaranthor the coredump is bad19:41
LaserJockright, so we're just gonna ignore it?19:41
Amaranthif you can't get a good backtrace how can you fix it?19:42
LaserJockand as far as I can see nobody has *not* confirmed the bug19:42
LaserJockthat's of course what needs to be worked on19:43
LaserJockbut marking it "Invalid" basically is saying "We're not gonna look at it"19:43
AmaranthRight, it means "we're ignoring this unless you give us more info"19:45
LaserJockand why should we require the reporter to necessarily do that?19:46
AmaranthIf it just sits there open someone might think they don't have to do anything19:46
AmaranthBecause if they want the bug fixed they need to give the info needed to fix it19:46
LaserJockbut we're not gonna do anything in the mean time?19:46
LaserJockI don't see anybody trying to confirm or not confirm the bug19:46
LaserJockit's just "give us a backtrace or we close the bug"19:47
AmaranthSo someone should explicitly say "I cannot reproduce this" before starting the countdown to closing it?19:48
LaserJockI think so yes19:48
Amaranth*shrug*19:48
LaserJockand ask if other people have experience it19:48
AmaranthI know in compiz I try my best to reproduce the bugs whether I mention that or not19:48
LaserJockI guess the theory is if it's really a problem we'll get dups19:49
Amaranththat too19:50
