[06:44] hello [07:11] salut huats [07:11] hello crevette === BugMaN1 is now known as BugMaN [08:48] good morning there [08:48] hey seb128! [08:48] hello mvo [08:48] mvo: I'm on my laptop now ;-) [08:48] did you had a chance to look at the gconf output? [08:49] great :) [08:49] can you give me the gconf key again? [08:49] or rather gconf directory [08:49] gconftool --get /apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options/active_plugins [08:49] $ gconftool --get /apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options/active_plugins [08:49] [core,ccp,dbus,place,mousepoll,gnomecompat,move,resize,decoration,png,svg,imgjpeg,text,neg,video,wall,snap,animation,scale,scaleaddon,expo,staticswitcher,regex,resizeinfo,workarounds,ezoom,vpswitch,extrawm,fade,session] [08:50] but with this config its now working, right? [08:50] no [08:50] does that include the latest uploads I did from yesterday? [08:50] oh [08:50] I did upgrade to the version you uploaded yesterday and use the capplet to reset normal effects [08:51] but you still get the windows on multiple workspaces? [08:51] yes [08:51] * mvo scratches his head [08:51] mvo: if you open the applications menu, accessories and select screenshot there it's only listed on one workspace? [08:53] seb128: yes, but with the live-cd from yesterday I saw the same effect as you, just not on my normal system. I will try harder to reproduce [08:53] just select the normal effects in the appareance capplet? [08:54] mvo: that's weird, if I run 'gnome-screenshot --interactive' which is the desktop command I don't get the bug [08:54] using the run application dialog or a command line [08:54] but when starting it from the gnome-panel menu I get the issue [08:54] and its evo and gnome-screenshot? or everything you start from the panekl? [08:55] same for evolution [08:55] starting it on a command line = no bug [08:55] using the launcher installed by default = bug [08:55] everything I start using a launcher [08:55] or menu entry [08:55] I get it with gedit too now [08:57] mvo: get the bug too now? [08:57] not ready yet, give me a minute :) [08:59] that sounds like a "let me get some tea first then I can have a look" ;-) [08:59] heh .) no, tea is already ready [08:59] *yum* [08:59] ;-) [09:00] but the compiz test machine was not booted yet [09:00] ah ok [09:00] seb128: do you compiz 1:0.7.9+git20090211-0ubuntu3 ( ? [09:00] "compiz test machine", I see [09:01] :) [09:01] you don't run this compiz crap on your normal boxes right? ;-) [09:01] the laptop can't run compiz, it freeze after 5min (ati driver issue) [09:01] and everything else runs compiz (i.e. my regular workstation) [09:01] let me restart my session to be sure [09:03] $ dpkg -l | grep compiz [09:03] ii compiz 1:0.7.9+git20090211-0ubuntu3 OpenGL window and compositing manager [09:03] still getting the issue after a session restart [09:03] mvo: so you still don't get the bug? [09:03] woah, that is very strange, *now* I get it too, but I did not restart or anything, just clicked on the menu [09:04] that is puzzeling [09:04] mvo: you didn't even try before did you? [09:04] seb128: you click on the workspace switcher applet? or use the key (ctrl-alt-left) ro swithc? [09:05] * seb128 can see mvo saying "compiz bug, yeah, yeah, another of those gtk bugs rather" [09:05] seb128: *plong* [09:05] mvo: doesn't make a difference but neither of those, I've switch to workspace-n set for the workspaces I use often [09:06] but using ctrl-alt-arrows or mouse doesn't make a difference [09:06] I think I can reproduce it now too [09:07] what did you change in your workflow to get it? [09:07] starting it via the gnome-panel seems to be the key [09:08] right [09:08] hm [09:09] _NET_WM_DESKTOP = 4294967295 does not look quite right :) [09:09] (especiall when a manually started xterm has "0") [09:10] metacity gets that right, I think here is the problem [09:10] * mvo digs into the changes [09:10] thanks a lot seb128! [09:10] mvo: thanks to you ;-) [09:11] I bet its a off-by-one error, 4294967295 is FFFFFFFF [09:24] didrocks: congratulations to your MOTU badge! [09:25] pitti: where has that been announced? did huat get accepted too? [09:27] seb128: yeah :) check the motu ml [09:28] seb128: or ubuntu-devel@ [09:33] seb128: yes, huats too [09:33] seb128: u-d or u-d-d [09:33] got the emails now [09:33] you guys are too quick at reading those ;-) [09:34] * pochu was at the end of the meeting ;) [09:34] I tend to not poll on my emails every minutes or I spend half of the day doing that ;-) [09:34] seb128: just by accident, I figure [09:34] * pitti usually processes mails three or four times a day [09:34] btw other topic [09:35] but do you guys have an opinion on all those netbook patches which randomly add scrollbars? [09:35] that seems rather an ugly workaround to me and I don't like those very much though there is no strong technical reason for that [09:36] scrollbars?? [09:36] I'm wondering if we should just apply those or should discuss other ways too? [09:36] eww [09:36] I thought they'd rearrange the dialogs to fit into small screens? [09:36] pitti: no, they do add scrollviews for when < 600 [09:37] pitti: bug #324464 is one example [09:37] Launchpad bug 324464 in gnome-control-center "gnome-mouse-properties does not fit in 1024x600 screen" [Unknown,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/324464 [09:38] http://launchpadlibrarian.net/22549603/90_1024x600_gnome-mouse-properties.c.patch === mvo__ is now known as mvo [09:40] seb128: well, *shrug* if it doesn't alter the default look if you have more than 600 pixels, it's certainly bearable for jaunty, but IMHO the dialogs should just be rearranged upstream [09:41] right, my opinion too [09:41] pitti: thanks a lot ;) [09:41] several of those changes patch glade files though [09:41] didrocks: congrats [09:41] and patching glade = no fun to do updates [09:41] hi seb128 and thanks too :) [09:41] seb128: for jaunty they won't change that much any more, and the original authors should push to get them upstream; otherwise we'll just drop them again in the next release and ask them to re-do the patch [09:42] pitti: ok, I dislike the changes but I guess we can do that for jaunty [09:46] seb128: btw, does the evo integration in the clock applet work for you? [09:46] seb128: I never get any appointments/TODOs there any more [09:46] and with google cals in evo enabled, it even hangs the panel [09:47] I don't want to click on the applet now, I got too many hangs recently and ctrl-alt-backspace not working ;-) [09:47] heh [09:47] killall gnome-panel helps [09:48] right when you think about opening a command line before having the issue ;-) [09:48] ctlr+alt+f1 :) [09:49] pitti: ok, can't use clock applet, hangs every time [09:50] pitti: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=570765 [09:50] Gnome bug 570765 in Calendar "gnome panel hangs after clicked on the clock applet" [Critical,Unconfirmed] [09:50] * seb128 grrrrrs at vuntz [09:58] re [09:58] pitti: the clock applet seems to list events correctly when not freezing after starting evolution [09:59] ie I restart, open the calendar, nothing listed, start evo, open the calendar, then they are listed there [10:58] seb128: I think I nailed it down, sn_startup_sequence_get_workspace() return 0xffffffff when opened by the gnome-panel. I'm not sure if this is (also) a bug in the panel, but I added a workaround into compiz and sent a patch upstream [10:59] mvo: ok thanks, that worked fine with compiz before the recent updates so compiz did change in some way [11:00] seb128: yeah, I suspect its really compiz that is faulty, let me know if the new version (-ubuntu4) fixes it for you too, thanks again for the good description of the problem :) [11:00] * mvo off for lunch [11:00] mvo: you're welcome, thanks for the quick fixing ;-) [11:22] hey seb128 :) [11:22] we missed you this morning ;) [11:22] lut huats, congrats [11:23] thanks seb128 [11:23] huats: too early for me ;-) [11:23] you deserve a great share for that... [11:24] huats: now we can count on your for universe desktopish updates ;-) [11:24] yep ! [11:30] pedro_: hello, g_slice crashes require a valgrind log [11:30] huats: how was the meeting then? did you get many questions? [11:30] seb128: not a lot [11:30] seb128: i know, I'm getting one since same crash is happening here [11:31] mainly about my opinion on how to improve the desktop work [11:31] pedro_: ok [11:32] * asac hugs huats for reaching MOTU decoration ;) [11:32] thanks asac ! [12:23] pitti: ping [12:29] seb128: What's the deal with bug #327747? [12:29] Launchpad bug 327747 in ubuntu "Please promote new package "nautilus-sendto-universe" to universe" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/327747 [12:37] Laney: what do you mean exactly? [12:38] Laney: that's a new package that needs review and sponsoring? [12:38] Yeah, is there a reason why it's not on REVU? [12:38] and why it's native? [12:39] Laney: there is a diff.gz on the bug, how native? [12:39] I see no orig [12:39] Laney: is using REVU a rule? I for one don't have an account on REVU and don't use it [12:39] Laney: the orig is the nautilus-sendto one [12:39] ah [12:40] REVU isn't technically required, but I doubt that any MOTU will review and upload straight from launchpad [12:40] unless the package is special for some reason [12:40] I will if they don't [12:40] MOTU sucks sometimes [12:40] I don't get why using REVU should be a requirement [12:40] that's a normal sponsoring request [12:40] need to talk to dholbach about it [12:44] maybe its fine, I just didn't get what it was about [12:45] Laney: it's about building code which requires universe build-depends [12:45] Laney: the choice are to either promote those build-depends or have an universe package which does the build [12:47] oh right, I get it [12:47] it wasn't very clear, sorry for the confusion [12:47] that's alright [12:48] just curious but was not clear? [12:48] the description and package name should give good clue [12:49] I understood the purpose, but not the implementation [12:50] what do you consider as suboptimal? [12:50] or what is weird for you? [12:50] It wasn't clear that this was a fork of an already-existing package, and that it uses the same orig [12:51] maybe it's just the way I read it though [12:51] well, it doesn't use the same orig exactly [12:52] or rather than a cp nautilus-sendto.orig.tar.gz nautilus-sendto-universe.orig.tar.gz [12:52] yeah [12:52] md5sum-identical [12:52] the idea is to have the same source but ship the things which have universe depends only [12:52] anyway I will review it later [12:52] thanks [12:52] I was going to do that but if you do it that's better so I can NEW it [12:53] I prefer to not have the same person doing the review and NEWing [12:53] for what is worth I did look at the debdiff and it's trivial [12:53] it's basically extra build-deps over the main package and a .install to install the things which are not in nautilus-sendto [12:58] Laney: welcome on your new MOTU membership btw ;-) [13:01] thanks [13:03] welcome -> congrats [13:03] rather ;-) === pochu_ is now known as pochu [14:22] congrats huats didrocks and Laney :p [14:22] thanks ember [14:54] mvo: Please do a snapshot of plugins-main, wall is so awesome now :) [14:54] bluesmoke: you should still have commit access to the team ;) [14:55] bluesmoke: but yeah, sounds great. I need some "commitment" from danny that there will be a stable releas at some point [14:55] otherwise I get into trouble :) [14:55] Supposedly 0.8 was supposed to be out now [14:55] but just compiz, no? the plugins-{main,extra} are not branched [14:55] or is trunk just what will be 0.8? [14:56] (for the plugins) [14:56] They planned on doing it all together [14:56] cool === bluesmoke is now known as Amaranth [14:56] I missed that [14:56] Amaranth: I make a update into the compiz ppa now, sounds like we should be prepared [14:56] mvo: They want 0.8 to be the first release that drops the fusion name, from what I can understand of it [14:56] Which I think is too much, they should just do the release and worry about that stuff for 0.9 [14:57] I agree, its just a name afterall === thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak [15:02] rickspencer31: pong [15:14] huats: do you have universe upload rights already? [15:14] didrocks: or you? [15:14] bug #329020 seems a good first desktop sponsoring ;-) [15:14] Launchpad bug 329020 in ghex "fix "deprecation warning printed on startup" and "incorrect selection length in statusbar"" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/329020 [15:17] seb128: I don't know :) [15:18] huats: good opportunity to try if you want ;-) [15:18] seb128: I am a bit on a rush now :( [15:18] huats: ok no hurry, maybe something to try this weekend if you want [15:18] yep [15:18] I am taking care of it , but this WE or monday :) [15:19] ok [15:19] (of course I'll look if nobody deal with it )) [15:24] mvo or seb128 care to accept the gnome-desktop-sharp2 binaries? tomboy requires libgnomepanel2.24-cil [15:24] Amaranth: plugins are now in the compiz-ppa [15:25] mvo: woohoo [15:25] ember: seb128 will have to do that, I can not do NEW [15:25] mvo: have you seen the feature I'm talking about in wall? [15:25] Amaranth: :) I like the "keep dock windows in place" when doing the place [15:25] eh, switch [15:25] is that what you mean? [15:25] yep [15:26] It's like the static plugin but it works for the desktop too [15:29] Amaranth: yeah, its very cool [15:29] a small thing, but looks much nicer [15:29] I was asked to ensure this gets into jaunty :) [15:30] haha [15:31] Amaranth: by danny? or some users :) ? [15:31] users [15:31] gnome-do developers, actually [15:32] nice [15:32] I guess it should be safe to upload it into jaunty proper [15:33] until 0.9 compiz is still "the latest git snapshot is better then the last release" [15:33] 0.9.x is going to be hard to deal with [15:34] did you actually start to package the compiz++ branch? [15:38] Riddell: i tried kubuntu-desktop yesterday on my ati system and after login it ends up with a white screen similar to what happens if i force compiz under gnome. [15:38] mvo: Nope, not really worth it yet [15:39] mvo: everything is going to be moving around [15:39] mpt_: see msg [15:39] * mvo nods === tkamppeter_ is now known as tkamppeter [15:40] asac: if you're in a testing mood, see if this helps echo -e "[Compositing]\nEnabled=false" > ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc [15:40] Riddell: ok so you dont run similar blacklisting as we do for compiz [15:40] = [15:41] Riddell: Riddell you ment ">>" not ">" right= [15:41] damn keyboard [15:41] asac: it should use the blacklist from compiz [15:41] asac: depends if you care about about kwin settings :) [15:41] i appended that now to my config. next time i log in i will check [15:42] Riddell: probably not ... i never used kde in the last years or so [15:42] oh i started it in intrepid for networkmanager i think [15:42] Riddell: the only thing that makes compiz fallback on my card is "Software Rasterizing" ... you probably want to check for that too [15:45] Riddell: anyway ... will let you know if that helped at all [16:25] re [16:25] mvo: so how many compiz updates can you screw in a week? ;-) [16:26] *pff* [16:28] mvo: just jocking, your new version fix my issue ;-) [16:28] * seb128 hugs mvo [16:28] hey gentlemen [16:28] I plan to do the update of the lastest bluez version [16:36] * mvo hugs seb128 [16:53] hi seb128 - just looking at bug 314263 again - the uploaded patch is not correct, which is part of the reason it doesn't work anymore [16:53] Launchpad bug 314263 in glib2.0 "regression - URIs opened with firefox %u load as local files (file:///...)" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/314263 [16:54] chrisccoulson: feel free to submit a debdiff to fix it [16:54] i will do, but i just tested it with the patch applied correctly, and it still doesn't work correctly. it doesn't pass any uri to the application now [16:55] chrisccoulson: what is wrong in the patch? [16:56] the patch does what was intended, but i'm wondering whether something changed between 2.19.5 and 2.19.6. i'm going to apply it to 2.19.5 in a minute and make sure it still works [16:56] i'm doing a build with some g_debug's in at the moment so i can try and work out what is going on [17:10] seb128 - i'll provide a corrected debdiff for that. it seems to be working now after logging out and back in again [17:13] chrisccoulson: what did you change now? [17:13] i havent changed anything, other than correcting the patch so that it applies properly [17:17] chrisccoulson: you don't want to tell me what was wrong or not correctly applied then? [17:18] yeah, the patch actually patched itself (if that makes sense), because of a copy/paste error from the debdiff i provided [17:19] ah ok [17:19] I did screw the 2.15.6 update because my local copy was not uptodate [17:19] and your debdiff added another revision rather than fixing that [17:19] so I did tweak it [17:20] but I did it quickly and probably did something wrongly there [17:20] next time I will ask for an updated debdiff rather ;-) [17:20] that's ok ;) [17:20] just in case it didn't make sense, i copied the extracted patch to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/117746/ so you can see === bratsche_ is now known as bratsche [17:21] it's a direct copy and paste from the debdiff i think and as a consequence it actually patches itself;) === asac_ is now known as asac [17:53] bryce: http://www.tuxradar.com/content/browser-benchmarks-2-even-wine-beats-linux-firefox ... hmm [17:54] thats partly firefox fault. most time probably goes lost on cairo/X11/driver level [17:55] just FYI [17:59] asac: bummer [18:01] asac: hmm, I wonder exactly what differences in the stack exist between wine and non-wine [18:01] asac: I'd think they're using the same X11/driver bits underneath but who knows [18:01] could easily just be some difference in cairo backends [18:01] bryce: its gtk + cairo + xrender vs. windows.dll toolkit that probably doesnt use cairo and maybe not xrender underneath [18:02] bryce: i am quite sure its cairo (if not gtk), but not sure if its really cairos folk or just its heavy use of xrender or other X11 features [18:02] i know that cairo has a few cases where it has bugs ... like rendering of box borders [18:03] not sure if those can explain all [18:03] mm [18:03] well I'm good friends with cworth (he lives the next town over) so if there's specific work or questions you need, I'd be happy to get his help [18:05] asac, hmm in fact i'll send him this article now and get his feedback [18:05] asac: btw have you run that benchmark to confirm the findings on ubuntu? [18:07] seb128: not to distract from your discussion in devel, but I was wondering if there are any 2.25.90 updates that still need some one to handle them. [18:09] asomething: I don't think so but 2.25.91 coming soon ;-) [18:09] asomething: you can work on split evolution documentation by locale if you want [18:10] that would be nice to win cd space [18:10] seb128: interesting, I'll look into that. that would be something new for me [18:11] basically list evolution-documentation-nn where nn is a locale for each locale in the control file and move things in the rules or something I would expect [18:11] you can try looking at how gimp does that [18:12] i'll give it a shot [18:12] bryce: no, but a commentor did: 161 (wine) vs 130 (native) [18:12] mm ok [18:12] I'll cc you [18:22] seb128: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/327747/comments/6 [18:22] Ubuntu bug 327747 in ubuntu "Please promote new package "nautilus-sendto-universe" to universe" [Wishlist,Incomplete] [18:23] hey Laney [18:23] you're here [18:23] yessir [18:23] about https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/327747/comments/6 [18:24] Laney: control.in, that's a copy of nautilus-sendto mostly so better to keep changes low to make easier to do updates and keeping those in sync [18:24] if you I replace Universe by Supplementrary in short description, wiil it make you happy? [18:25] Laney: ie, cleaning that would only means extra diff over nautilus-sendto and work to do merges for no real win [18:26] seb128: Well I was imaginging that merges would be done manually anyway so it wouldn't matter [18:26] but I dont' feel strongly about it, it was more stylistic [18:26] right, I've no strong opinion either [18:26] as you want [18:27] crevette: I was thinking more along the lines of the nautilus-sendto one [18:27] integrates xxx and yyy into nautilus or something [18:27] also, there were some indentation inconsistencies in control, but now I'm really nitpicking :) [18:28] so should I drop control.in ? [18:29] I will upload either way, so pick what will make you more happy as maintainer [18:31] Laney: I'm not technically speaking a maintainer, and I don't consider myself as a maitainer [18:31] I'm just some guy helping ubuntu :) [18:32] I appreciate any good advice [18:32] :) [18:32] well IMO it isn't necessary, especially as the changelog history will differ, and this is the main point of uploaders.mk [18:33] why did you add DEB_DESTDIR btw? [18:33] Laney: to be able to only provide the two *.so files [18:34] I've been advised to do so [18:34] :) [18:34] oh, was the whole directory installed by default in nautilus-sendto? [18:34] Laney: yes [18:34] i.e. not adding it would install all of the plugins again [18:34] OK, got it [18:34] (might be nice to say this in the changelog) [18:35] Laney: we rebuild whole nautilus-sendto why that, and we only pick up the so we want to have [18:35] yeah, I understand [18:52] Laney: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m4b7895d5 [18:52] is it better for you? [18:53] crevette: How about "integrates Empathy and UPnP into the Nautilus file manager"? [18:53] following nautilus-sendto [18:54] Laney: are you a native english speaker? [18:54] yes [18:54] just wondering ;-) [18:54] Laney: ok, so you pick the description, will probably be better than what french guys (ie crevette or me for example) can do ;-) [18:54] heh, I was just going for consistency [18:54] but it sounds better to me too [18:54] Laney: yeah, I think your suggestion makes sense === seb128_ is now known as seb128 [18:55] seb128: I didn't know the notification bugs where actually valid upstream bugs [18:55] seb128: that makes things quite different [18:56] I've already forwarded one upstream and I'm going to prepare a patch for another one [18:56] they are? [18:56] Laney: yes [18:56] interesting [18:56] I was under the impression that Ubuntu was being quite heavy-handed here [18:56] Actions may or may not supported by the daemon, so they should check that it's supported before using it [18:56] in what sense are they valid? [18:56] oh, that is cool [18:56] see "Actions" in table 1 in http://www.galago-project.org/specs/notification/0.9/x81.html [18:56] pochu: right, they are but they have no strong reason to go this way, they are just wishlists [18:57] "This functionality may not be implemented by the notification server, conforming clients should check if it is available before using it" [18:57] seb128: who are "they"? [18:57] Laney: well, the idea is to stop using notification in bubbles [18:57] Yeah, I know the idea [18:57] I just thought that it was an Ubuntu quirk [18:57] pochu: upstream, GNOME, the daemon they use support actions so they might not see the issue [18:58] where the new daemon will not [18:58] seb128: right, but they are ignoring the spec, which makes those valid bugs [18:58] even if they are low prio [18:58] right, bugs are valid [18:58] I just say it's not really a priority for them [18:58] yeah [18:58] but no doubt opening bugs makes sense [18:58] bug my two affected upstreams are not GNOME ;) [18:58] ;-) [18:58] and actually I'm now upstream for Liferea itself [18:59] although if you tell me Liferea consumes 100% cpu, I'll blame Xulrunner :) [18:59] pochu: congrats [18:59] thanks :) [19:00] pochu: time to switch to webkit :) [19:00] crevette: oh yeah :) [19:00] crevette: trunk is webkit only [19:00] pochu: btw where are you running for motu membership then? [19:00] really ? [19:00] no Xulrunner, no GtkHtml anymore ;) [19:00] crevette: yeah [19:00] where -> when [19:00] and 1.6 will be released soon [19:00] seb128: I'm MOTU for more than a year ;) [19:00] hum, I was not sure, should have checked [19:01] pochu: you should do universe sponsoring ;-) [19:01] yeah... [19:01] good to see new people helping there with Laney, huats and didrocks who joined today [19:01] anyway dinner time [19:01] bbl [19:01] enjoy [19:02] * crevette stays UNMOTU [19:02] :) [19:02] crevette: not for long! [19:02] pochu: you're tracking applications using action in notifications ? [19:03] crevette: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=dxteam [19:04] pochu: gnome-user-share uses actions (I coded notification for it) [19:05] but I don't see the gain removing actions, but it is true I didn't read docs related to the changes you're doing [19:05] crevette: I'm not tracking them... maybe the Dx team missed that [19:05] crevette: or maybe they didn't report it yet ;) [19:05] what is dxteam ? [19:06] crevette: well, the point is that according to the notification-daemon spec, the daemon may not have actions support [19:06] crevette: so you should check if it has, and if it doesn't, don't use them [19:06] okay [19:06] crevette: Desktop Experience team [19:06] (new Canonical team) [19:06] okay [19:06] crevette: so the bugs are for applications that don't check whether the daemon has actions support before using them [19:07] those that do are fine [19:08] pochu: yet the bugs all read '...shouldn't use notifications with actions' [19:09] mclasen_: yeah, I guess the title is incorrect [19:09] mclasen_: the body says "they should check if the daemon supports Actions" [19:09] fair enough [19:09] or actually [19:09] "Instead, the buttons should be made conditional on whether the notification server supports actions." [19:10] which is the direction that patches have [19:10] e.g. http://launchpadlibrarian.net/22449526/goobox-notify.diff [20:50] pochu: where did you read that? [20:50] 20:09 < pochu> "Instead, the buttons should be made conditional on whether the notification server supports actions." === wgrant_ is now known as wgrant [23:12] asac: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/liferea/+bug/328606 [23:12] Ubuntu bug 328606 in liferea "liferea shouldn't use notifications with actions" [Undecided,New] [23:20] asac: see comment #3 in bug 328609 [23:20] Launchpad bug 328609 in decibel-audio-player "decibel-audio-player shouldn't use notifications with actions" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/328609 [23:38] * asac looks [23:45] pochu: (on liferea) but the presence of the option makes it difficult to remove ... what does that mean [23:49] asac: I think they mean the presence of the option in liferea's preferences, but I'll have to check it [23:49] I don't have libnotify enabled so I'm not sure [23:49] will try to have a look tomorrow [23:49] which option? [23:50] "presence of the option" - what option? what do you control with that? enable/disable notifications? [23:50] the preference option->yes [23:50] and the notifications have actions in it [23:50] like "mark those new items as read" and things like that [23:50] i understand that part. [23:51] for me "option" was not defined at all in the bug ... could be any option [23:51] so lets assume its "enable/disable" notification optoin [23:51] let me reread [23:52] Liferea has a “Show a popup window with new headlines.” option that is on by default [23:52] pochu: heh [23:52] true [23:52] it's cleary the preference option in the GUI tab, isn't it? [23:52] * asac rereads ;) [23:52] :) [23:52] s/cleary/clearly/ [23:53] pochu: so this bug is about removing action buttons [23:53] why all the rest of this info? [23:53] i mean its fine, but it isnt related to the bug ;) [23:53] or am i missing the connection? [23:54] so notifications are "These are annoying and unusable" ... because you get flooded ... now we remove actions which doesnt fix the flood ;) [23:54] pochu: so are those libnotify notifications? [23:55] asac: yes [23:56] "Instead, the buttons should be made conditional on whether the notification server supports actions." [23:56] that's the key [23:56] the notification-daemon specification doesn't guarantee the daemon will support Actions [23:56] so the application (liferea) should check that the daemon does, and if so it can use Actions [23:56] there's an API to check that [23:57] but liferea currently doesn't check it, it just uses Actions unconditionally [23:57] the Dx team plans to change notification-daemon to not provide Actions support, so those apps that don't check if there's support for them will be buggy [23:58] those are bugs in the apps because of the spec says they need to check that [23:58] so that's what we need to fix :) [23:59] * pochu -> bed, g'night!
