Hobbseeember: cool03:55
Hobbseeember: how *did* you test install that?03:55
emberHobbsee: i did a manual install of the package, but mostly on a base system we only have gnome-core or gnome-devel03:56
emberso gnome-desktop-environment ended up not beeing upgrade03:56
Hobbseeember: and gnome-office?03:56
embersame as desktop-env, upgraded gnome-core gnome-devel and desktop-data03:57
Hobbseeember: how does that work?  it had a dependancy on a package that doesn't exist here.03:58

iulianG'morning.06:25
siretartmorning07:35
siretartjdong: so you mean green light for vlc 0.9.3? did you verify that it is really a bugfix only release?07:35
superm1persia, i've been poking back and forth with bluez 4.x this evening, and should have a mostly functional solution on the ~bluetooth PPA at this point (including working keyboard support :))08:11
persiasuperm1: Excellent.  Bits of documentaiton of your effort had completely destroyed my motivation to document the freeze exception issues for 0.28, and I'm glad the results are ready for testing so soon.08:12
superm1persia, there is one point i haven't added to the bug yet (since i believe it is still solvable).08:13
superm1it appears that obex might need obexd rather than obex-data-server08:13
superm1but i haven't verified that yet08:13
superm1otherwise this solution appears to work significantly better08:13
persiaBetter is good :)08:13
persiaI'll check the UI in hildon in KVM in a few minutes, and get you an opinion on how badly it looks.08:14
superm1i expect the main thing is that the new wizard is too tall, but i dont know that's for sure08:15
persiaHow tall?  I don't have anything with Ubuntu with less than 600 vertical pixels, but I know some people are fiddling with things as low as 640x480.08:16
superm1its really hard to gauge how tall it really is.  i'm operating on a 1920x1080 16" screen, so i'm not really sure08:16
persiaheh08:17
persiaOne of my wishlists for the SDL kvm front-end is to have it take arguments to force a given resolution.  I know I can do this with VNC, but then I have to organise a VNC server, etc.08:18
* siretart ponders if he should upload vlc 0.9.3 to ~motumedia or interpid. opinions?08:24
persiaI'd say intrepid.  Changing between beta and release seems more risky than changing pre-beta, unless you expect significant regression.08:27
persiaFrom traffic I saw from j-b, it looked like mostly just bugfix work from responses to the 0.9.2 release.08:27
siretartyeah. I was worried about beta freeze08:28
siretartbut its multiverse anyway, okay08:28
persiaWell, sure, you'll need to have a release manager approve the upload, but it's unlikely to affect much of anyone.  Just make sure to time the builds to not break superm1's images.08:30
superm1well in theory all binaries would clear at the same time, so hopefully shouldn't be too much of a cause for breakage08:31
persiasuperm1: Hrm?  I thought that binaries cleared as they built.  Is this not the case?  I've often seen arch: any / arch: all skew on amd64.08:33
superm1ah that's right, amd6408:33
superm1so yeah there could be cause for cd breakage - but i wouldnt say its that big a deal - we can just generate again if one gets times poorly08:34
persiasuperm1: And I presume I want to unblacklist btusb for testing from the PPA, right?08:35
superm1persia, yeah08:35
superm1i did all my testing using btusb08:35
superm1persia, rtg will be pulling in some suspend related quirks when we rebase to rc8, so btusb should be fairly stable at that point08:36
persiaGreat.  bluez has a missing conflicts: on bluez-network08:36
superm1yeah that....08:37
superm1i forgot those were added in for intrepid08:37
persiaAnd bluez-input ...08:37
superm1i talked to upstream today and they didnt want it done that way08:37
superm1i'll put the conflicts in then08:37
persiaGreat.  I'm discovering them one-by-one when trying to upgrade.08:38
persiaUpstream wants it as done for the candidate?08:38
superm1well they'd like to see the packaging similar to how it is in F1008:38
superm1so i renamed and put files how i saw them in the spec file08:38
superm1probably also saw one on bluez-serial i imagine?08:39
StevenKsuperm1: And ignoring what Debian are doing with Bluetooth?08:39
persiaYep.08:39
StevenKsuperm1: That's going to suck when Jaunty opens08:39
superm1StevenK, the debian guy is in #bluez, but wasn't around atm08:39
persiaStevenK: Debian hasn't looked at 4.x yet.08:39
superm1given he hangs out in #bluez, i'm thinking he'd listen to upstream's recommendations too for this08:40
StevenKsuperm1: I'm hoping we aren't trying for BlueZ 4.x in Intrepid? :-)08:43
superm1StevenK, well considering it - keyboard pairing appears to be broken in 3.x right now08:43
persiaStevenK: That's exactly what's being testing.  There is a significant regression with the current stack: keyboards don't work.08:43
StevenKHmmm08:44
persiasuperm1: Well, the pairing wizard works at 600 vertical pixels, but I still can't type.08:47
superm1persia, give it a sec, it took a moment for it to get connected on mine08:47
persiaOK.  Any suggestions on a reasonable waiting time?  It's been a couple minutes.08:48
superm1oh, seconds for me08:48
superm1it wasn't close to minutes at all08:48
superm1then that's not good :(08:49
persiaYeah.  I even set it to "trusted" in the preferences panel.08:49
superm1i have a second BT keyboard here, let me grab that for another data point08:49
persiaAh.  Found it.  I needed to set the "Other Devices can Connect" preference.  I can type now.08:49
superm1oh good08:50
superm1so perhaps setting that default in the packaging if possible would be a good idea08:50
persiaOK.  Now to reboot and try under hildon at 600 vertical pixels.08:50
persiaYeah.  Don't set visible by default, but set connectable by default.08:50
superm1persia, did you get bluez-gnome 1.4 or 1.5 installed?  I'm not sure at what point the publisher did 1.508:52
superm1(so as to see if it was a problem only in 1.4)08:52
* persia checks08:52
superm1oh actually i just reproduced that in 1.5 myself too by clearing /var/lib/bluetooth08:55
superm1it looks like you get a config file /var/lib/bluetooth/[mac]/config that controls it's behavior08:55
superm1and it's made when you choose a mode of operation08:55
persiaI seem to have gotten 1.4.08:55
persiaRight, and if you don't choose a mode of operation, it doesn't work out of the box, which is probably not what we want.08:56
=== Hew__ is now known as Hew
persiasuperm1: Without the hildonisation patches it looks *very* cramped in hildon at 600 pixels.09:18
superm1persia, could you adapt the hildonisation patches for 4.x?09:18
persiaErm.  Not in a reasonable amount of time.09:18
superm1it looks cramped, but that's just the preference tab that looks cramped?09:19
superm1or the wizard?09:19
persiaThe preferences tab.  The wizard looks OK, but there's not much content.09:20
persiaOn the other hand, it works, which is kinda nice given the keyboards some some of my laptops.09:20
persiaI'm just reviewing the 0.27 interface now to see how much worse 1.5 looks.09:21
superm1and in all honestly with the wizard there, you won't be spending much time in the preferences tab anyhow09:21
superm1assuming there's a doable way to patch or script the pre-selection of connectable09:21
persiaIt's the "bonded devices" list that is the main difference.  With the hildonisation patch, that moves to the right under hildon, so it can show more than one at a time.09:22
persiaYeah.  The Connectable-by-default thing needs hinting, as a naive user (like me) won't look at the Preferences before trying to pair a device.09:22
* persia looks at the hildonisation patch to understand how much code would need to change09:23
persiaThat's not much code, but it's UI fiddling, which always confuses me.09:25
siretartdid anyone miss a52 and faad support in ubuntu's ffmpeg and wants to test some packages for that?09:28
persiasuperm1: It might not be so bad after all.  Much of the code looks mostly the same.  I'll fiddle a bit, and let you know if it's quickly portable.09:29
* siretart is also considering a patch for amr support provided by altlinux...09:29
superm1persia, okay sounds good.  i'll keep trying to find a way to get this to start up discoverable, and then tomorrow see about the obex stuff09:29
superm1persia, it'd be worthwhile to add your keyboard data point to the bug at least though09:30
persiasuperm1: OK.  Are you sure this is easier than trying to fix keyboard support in 3.x?09:30
superm1persia, well given how much delta there is from the latest 4.x to 3.36, i'm thinking it is09:31
superm1but i'm not positive09:31
superm1especially since the code changed API's so drastically09:32
persiasuperm1: OK.  It just seems you're the only person with both a bluetooth keyboard and sufficient knowledge to hack this stuff.  Most of the people with whom I've chatted have not had keyboards or couldn't hack.09:32
persiaAh, you think the massive API change is sufficiently reflected in the kernel that we'd have to revert lots of stuff there to make it work?09:32
superm1persia, that's what i'm thinking at this point at least09:33
persiaOK.  I fear breaking stuff, or not having time to fix stuff.  At this point, it seems there are no good choices :)09:34
* persia starts porting the patch.09:34
superm1well just need to keep in mind; it's already fairly broke09:34
persiaRight.  That's why there are no good choices.09:34
superm1can't really break it much more09:34
persiaWell, we could make audio or comms stop working.09:35
superm1ah right09:35
superm1conveniently i've got a headset and can do rfcomm via my phone, so i can at least look at those too09:36
superm1the branch is owned by ~ubuntu-dev - so if you get the hildonization patch together you should just be able to merge it in yourself09:36
* persia likes pastebins, but may look at the branch in a bit09:37
superm1or if you see anything that you feel like !stab'ing about the packaging and all too :)09:37
* persia is unlikely to find time for a proper packaging review09:38
persiaWell, unless it takes a *very* long time to process, but that means we'd miss the deadlines.09:38
superm1its mostly a merge of bluez-lib and bluez-utils, so it should be sanish09:39
superm1and if there are things that stick out, they likely were artifacts from those previous packages too09:39
persiaHrm.  I think maybe the changes to general.c are useless.09:54
superm1okay i've got a patch that appears to set the default connectable now09:55
superm1assuming that's a software setting and my BT chip doesnt need to be reset, it appears to work09:55
persiaShouldn't be an on-chip thing, as booting off different USB keys re-breaks it each time for me.09:56
superm1okay good09:57
* Hobbsee waves09:59
stefanlsdWhat would be the best way of testing patches / software.  I have an intrepid system, so i normally install the old version - test to confirm the problem. I then use pbuilder to build my new version and then install the resulting .deb and check to see if the problem is fixed.   How should i be testing similair fixes for hardy and earlier?10:06
persiastefanlsd: On a hardy system.  If you don't have one, and it's not a hardware-related issue, virtualisation is a good solution.  For CLI-only stuff, chroots work well.  Some people also have gotten X to work in their chroots: you might try that, but it's trickier.  For stuff that uses system services (e.g. dbus), you really want virtualisation or real hardware.10:11
stefanlsdpersia: i agree that the vm route works well, just bandwidth is pretty costly here still, and i dont particularly want to be keeping whole systems up to date...  are there any caveats to doing it via  pbuilder --login ?10:12
persiastefanlsd: If you've a chroot already, there's no reason you can't use that to generate your virtual image.10:13
stefanlsdpersia: thanks. i will try using the chroot with pbuilder and see how it goes10:16
persiastefanlsd: If you need a virtual environment, just copy the contents of the chroot into an empty virtual disk, add a kernel, and boot off that.10:17
persiaAnyone good with autoconf?  There's no configure.in with the new bluez-gnome, and I'm wondering if the patch fragment in http://paste.ubuntu.com/51200/ should work with configure.ac10:19

jdstrandstefanlsd: I have 18 chroots plus 20 virtual machines :P13:23

pochuHobbsee: hi, do you use B91dpkg-i to test installability? it seems to be a bit stupid and doesn't install run-time dependencies before calling 'dpkg -i', so it fails14:03
StevenKpersia: I've removed one so far, and it hasn't been in Debian since 200714:04
persiaThat counts as annoying :)14:04
Hobbseepochu: that, or another one, yes.14:04
Hobbseei think i was using another one14:04

wgrant  input.x11_driver = 'synaptics'  (string)14:26

persiaRight.  Which package needs to be thwacked?14:27
wgrantpersia: Do you have /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-x11-synaptics.fdi?14:28

wgrantIt's excluded in P-a-s, and the source's arch list, AFAICT.14:34
StevenKI didn't see xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in P-a-s14:35
persiaYep.  Since I have two devices that Intel claims to be lpia, and both have Synaptics touchpads, I think that's likely a bug.14:35
wgrantStevenK: xfree86-driver-synaptics14:35

superm1so i'm sure you've been watching the activity floating on bluez 4.x?17:50
crevettesuperm1: yeah17:50
crevetteI'm building gnome-user-share17:50
superm1crevette, how are you feeling about it thus far?17:50
crevettefile sending and receiving doesn't not work but  it seems you're working on it17:50
superm1yeah it looks like a newish obex-data-server is required.  i tried to just patch around it, but it's a bit complex17:51
crevetteokay17:51
superm1other than that- anything else negative standing out?17:51
crevetteI'm don"t have input devices so I can't test that17:52
crevetteexcept wiimotes17:52
crevette:p17:52
superm1crevette, okay well persia and i have both tested input devices thus far, and they're looking better (after a patch to bluez-gnome to ensure it starts up in a connectable mode)17:53
crevetteokay17:53
crevettesuperm1: how can I push g-u-share to your ppa ?17:53
superm1crevette, it's a team PPA17:53
superm1your in ~bluetooth right?17:54
crevettelet me check17:54
crevettesuperm1: I joined it, but apprently approval is required17:55
superm1crevette, okay for now then, just push it to your personal PPA, and i'll copy it into ~bluetooth when it finishes building17:56

crevetteyep17:57
superm1if it works properly on the first try, i guess that would be fine ....17:57
superm1but if you've got some bugs then it will be troublesome17:57
superm1you normally want a ~ppaX added17:57
crevetteyep17:58
crevetteI'll redo it17:58
superm1crevette, are there any applicable patches on bluez-gnome 0.28's package on your PPA that make sense for 4.x?18:00
crevettehum, let me look18:00
crevettesuperm1: not from 0.2818:02
crevettebut fedora has a patch http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/bluez-gnome/devel/bluetooth-sendto-ods-svn.patch?view=log18:02
crevettehmm, it's for svn obex-data-server18:02
superm1crevette, i was just looking for that - it's needed with these obex snapshots18:02
superm1thanks :)18:03
superm1crevette, i've got a few things i just pushed to the PPA re gvfs, obex-data-server and a new bluez-gnome19:16
superm1should fill in the missing gaps regarding obex, but i cant verify with my phone atm19:16
superm1crevette, i copied in your gnome-user-share stuff to the PPA too19:18
crevettesuperm1: wonderful19:23
superm1crevette, i you can check file sending now, hopefully it's better once all that stuff is published19:23
crevettesuperm1: okay19:23
crevettesuperm1: one thing ro consider is when file receiving between gnome-user-share and bluez-gnome are conficting, can we do like fedora and disable file-receiving in bluez-gnome and pull gnome-user-share as dependecy of bluez-gnome?19:25
crevettes/when//19:25
superm1crevette, there is no more file receiving in bluez-gnome19:25
superm1so that's probably a sensible idea19:25
crevettesuperm1: ah I didn't know19:25
superm1crevette, it changed for 4.x19:25
crevetteyou applied the fedora patch for that N19:25
crevetteah19:25
crevettethere is a patch for bluez-gnome 0.28 in fedora to do that19:26
superm1crevette, well the problem is that gnome-user-share is universe though19:26
superm1so that would require some more paperwork here for the MIR19:26
superm1this whole switchover is turning out way larger than i anticipated19:26
