pochuAmaranth: hi, could you explain to me why you reassigned bug 206809 to gnome-system-tools? It sounds more to me like a compiz bug or gnome-control-conter00:42
ubotuLaunchpad bug 206809 in compiz "Setting "Visual effects" to "None" is ignored when logging in again" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/20680900:42
Amaranthpochu: wrong package, i guess00:43
Amaranthpochu: whatever package has that UI in it (not compiz)00:43
pochuAmaranth: right, gnome-control-center00:43
pochuit's /usr/bin/gnome-appearance-properties00:43
* pochu reassigns00:43
Amarantharg, you moved it back to compiz00:44
pochuI didn't see you moved it to g-s-t until I got the mail few minutes after the new bug one :)00:44

kwwiiseb128: making the symlinks is easy but as hit uses makefiles I don't know how to do the packaging :-(13:20
Ngis the Visual Effects tab in the Appearance preferences not support to show the Custom option and a button to launch CCSM?13:21
Ngatm I just have the regular 3 options, none of which are selected because I've customised the settings13:21
pochuNg: I think it was supposed to show the option if you had ccsm installed13:23
Hobbseeugh13:23
Hobbseewhy is it now mandatory that my usb contains the documents, music, pictures, video, etc folders13:23
Hobbseei thought the dirs stuff was only supposed to happen for /home13:24
Ngpochu: yeah it used to do that, but not so much anymore13:24
NgI'm wondering if a patch got dropped or something13:24
seb128Ng: install simple-ccsm13:26
seb128Ng: no, it got switched to the simple version13:26
Ngah13:26
seb128Hobbsee: you have a weird definition of mandatory13:27
pochugnome-control-center (1:2.21.90-0ubuntu2) hardy; urgency=low13:27
pochu* replace ccsm with simple-ccsm13:27
seb128kwwii: what do you mean?13:27
Hobbseeseb128: it won't let me remove it.13:27
seb128Hobbsee: ???13:27
Hobbseein nautilus.13:27
pochuseb128: perhaps it should have an upgrade path?13:27
seb128Hobbsee: there is nothing preventing you to remove folders in nautilus13:27
pochu(if that feature was in Gutsy)13:27
Hobbseeseb128: except errors saying "permission denied"13:27
seb128pochu: dunno, we didn't install ccsm before and it's still available13:28
seb128Hobbsee: what are the permissions on those directories?13:28
Hobbseeseb128: they were owned by the local user13:28
kwwiiseb128: I mean I have no idea how to change the makefile or whatever else I need to do to get the symlinks in the package13:28
Hobbseehmm, it hasn't come back13:28
* Hobbsee has no idea then13:28
seb128Hobbsee: can you try to gvfs-rm it?13:28
Hobbseeseb128: i've already sudo rm -rf'd it13:28
seb128Hobbsee: I never had those created on a removable disk and nautilus doesn't special case those13:29
Hobbseehm, OK13:29
seb128Hobbsee: so you are just basically complaining ;-)13:29
* Hobbsee sigh.13:29
seb128Hobbsee: please complain before applying a workaround next time :-p13:29
Hobbseei thougth i wasnt' supposed to complain at all.13:29
seb128why did you use sudo if they were user removable btw?13:29
Hobbseegood question.13:30
seb128kwwii: the package only does a make install, just do the change the way it would be done for upstream and that's it13:30
seb128kwwii: or use debian/binary.links to create symlinks if you want to do it in the package specifically13:30
seb128Hobbsee: isn't it? ;-)13:31
Hobbseeseb128: yeah.  and i don't know the answer.13:31
Hobbseeoh well, if i can reproduce it somehow (may involve the evil 'doze), then i'll come back13:31
Hobbseethought it was some new feature or something13:31
seb128Hobbsee: alright ;-)13:32
seb128and no, it's supposed to be in the user directory only and those are not special directories, you can remove them if you want13:32
kwwiiseb128: yeah, that is the problem - I've no idea how :p all the other packages use the python stuff...I'll bring it up at the meeting tomorrow, I am sure someone can help ;-)13:35
Hobbseeseb128: that's what i thought.  they only came into kde after i stopped using it, so...13:37
seb128kwwii: what package are you changing?13:38
kwwiihuman icon theme13:39
seb128kwwii: easy way is what gartoon is doing13:46
seb128kwwii: debian/gnome-icon-theme-gartoon.links13:46
seb128usr/share/icons/gartoon/scalable/filesystems/network-workgroup.svg13:47
seb128ups13:47
seb128usr/share/icons/gartoon/scalable/filesystems/gnome-fs-network.svg usr/share/icons/gartoon/scalable/filesystems/network-workgroup.svg13:47
seb128kwwii: create a debian/human-icon-theme.links and write "source link" lines13:47
seb128kwwii: the symlinks will be created during the build automatically13:48
seb128kwwii: sould be trivial enough to do13:49
kwwiiseb128: cool, I'll look into that, thanks13:50
seb128you are welcome13:51
andreasnseb128: gnome-icon-theme does that as well, right?14:00
seb128andreasn: I though but apparently not the current package14:00
seb128andreasn: the right way is to change the makefiles or use icon-naming-utils I think, but I've other thing to do and that's a detail14:01
andreasnyeah14:01
andreasnthe right thing to do is to fix nautilus etc. to use proper names14:01
andreasnI'll see if I can find someone interested in doing that14:02
andreasn(for 2.24 obviosly)14:02
andreasnif I do it myself I'm just going to end up breaking the whole thing...14:03
andreasn:)14:03
seb128andreasn: well, those are the new gvfs names, so that's rather the icon themes that need to be updated, no?14:04

crevettehmmm14:44
crevettewhat are you talking about ?14:44
crevetteah I was talking to you14:45
lmanulYou made a comment on a bug concerning file duplication14:45
lmanulWhen you duplicate a file, where to place the "(copy)" string14:45
lmanulI think I had written a patch for this a long time ago14:45
lmanulAnd your comment requested that I rework it :)14:45

crevetteI overlooked over the bug and Martin didn't seems to be completely happy with you patch, so I just pinged you14:48
crevettehttp://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=351290#c5 has an interesting comment14:48
lmanulHmm, the one from Christian?14:49
lmanulcrevette: I guess I could do that14:49
crevetteperhaps you should talk with Martin and Christian14:50
lmanulcrevette: I was just unsure what the decision would be on this, the patch is easy to write, it just needs a good decision14:50
lmanulcrevette: right14:50
crevetteyeah14:50
pochuslomo_: I assume we can sync gst-plugins-good0.10, right? we have -2 but there's -3 in unstable, which backports a patch from trunk15:05
slomo_yes15:05
pochugreat, I'll test build and install and ask for a sync then :)15:06
crevettelmanul, on my opinion, I'm thinking Copy of would be better15:07
crevetteand I think easier to implement :)15:07
lmanulcrevette: Start the new name with "Copy of" ?15:07
crevetteyep15:07
lmanulcrevette: but then the alphabetization is screwed15:07
crevetteyeah15:07
crevetteperhaps I'm too biaised due to my Windows habits at work15:07
lmanulcrevette: well, you can leave a comment :)15:08
crevettesometime I would liek to have a brainwash15:08
crevetteno non15:08
crevetteGood luck Mr Phelps :)15:10
pochuseb128: ^-- can you sync gst-plugins-good0.10 from unstable? it backports a change from upstream CVS15:22
pochuwe have no local changes15:22
seb128pochu: synced15:26
seb128pochu: wants to write a mir page for libarchive? ;-)15:26
pochuhmm, right click on a folder -> share folder -> install smb and nfs -> ok -> ...installing... -> install nfs and smb?? -> ok -> install nfs and smb??15:26
pochuseb128: ^-- known issue?15:26
pochuseb128: sounds good, is it already useful (to test it)15:27
pochu?15:27
seb128pochu: there is a bug about the install thing not working correctly15:28
pochuok, I won't report it again then ;)15:28
seb128pochu: but pitti just approved nautilus-share for main so I'm going to remove shares-admin today I think15:29
pochuah, ok15:29
pochulibarchive is for the gvfs archive backend, right?15:29
crevetteseb128, really ? cool15:29
seb128yes15:29
pochuok15:29
crevetteseb128, nautilus-share ? ah I read gnome-user-share ?15:29
crevettethere a lot of *-share aroung G world15:30
seb128crevette: yes, nautilus-share15:30
crevettenot really consistent15:30
seb128crevette: gnome-user-share is the suck, webdav sharing has a poor win integration15:30
crevettethe thing is the developer is always a GNOME core developper15:30
crevetteseb128, yeah :/15:30
crevettebut for Unix LAN is it awesome15:31
seb128right15:31
seb128but the world is not all unix15:31
crevetteyoup15:31
pochuseb128: it installed it, but didn't detected it, so kept asking for installing it. I've cancelled, it wasn't detected as installed, so I closed it. When clicking on share folder again, everything went fine (samba and nfs were there as options)15:31
seb128and we have quite some user sharing over samba15:31
seb128pochu: right, it needs a restart to list understand that something has been installed15:31
seb128pochu: that's what the open bug states rather15:32
seb128I didn't try15:32
pochuso I can confirm it then :)15:32
seb128pochu: and yes, libarchive is for the gvfs archive backend15:32
pochuseb128: ah, it's even milestoned for hardy15:35
pochuI guess you will unmilestone it once nautilus-share is the default15:36
seb128yes, I'll close it15:36
crevetteI would dream about an unified capplet for file-sharing for desktop15:41
seb128crevette: good idea, you should start working on that ;-)15:44
crevetteyeah :/15:44
crevettebut GNOME HIG doesn't fit well with multi tab on several level; Apple HIG has the necessary widgetery15:45
crevetteIt would allow to just incorporate the glade into a top level glade :)15:45
Amaranthseb128: you should not be changing <Layout> of existing menus from applications-merged15:56
Amaranthseb128: because you have no idea what order things in application-merged will be loaded so you have no guarantee you'll 'win' and get your layout honored15:57
seb128Amaranth: can you write that on the bug? ;-)15:57
Amaranthhehe, alright15:58
seb128Amaranth: thanks16:03
seb128pitti: I'm not sure to understand your comment on bug #5125516:56
ubotuLaunchpad bug 51255 in gnome-panel "No 12-hour clock available in spanish language" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/5125516:56
seb128pitti: the clock applet has a 12 or 24 hours option which is available when the locale definition supports that16:57
pittiseb128: hm, seems to be a chicken-egg problem then16:58
pittibecause, if I add the AM/PM definition to the locale, people can't use 24 hour any more16:58
pittiand since upstream also advised against it, I reverted the aptch16:59
seb128pitti: how can't they?17:01
seb128pitti: using french (and I think it's the same in de locale) my clock applet has the 12 or 24 options17:02
pittiseb128: de_DE has an empty am_pm defintion, and if I try to use 12 hour, it still uses 24 hours17:03
pittiseb128: fr_FR has the same17:03
pittiseb128: does it actually work for you?17:03
seb128no17:04
seb128but I think it used to work previous cycles17:04
seb128maybe the new clock applet is broken in that regard17:04
seb128but this bug is not new17:04
