didrockshey dholbach ;)07:55
didrocksmvo: If you look there (https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem), the 2.25.90-0ubuntu2 version told us that we have to include src/plugins/bbc/Makefile.in in07:55
didrocks70_autoconf.patch07:55
didrocksSo, I think I have to use autoreconf and not autoconf to take it into account07:55
didrocksbut I get a impressive error/warning stack:07:56
didrockshttp://paste.ubuntu.com/120246/07:56
didrocksall b-d are there in my jaunty chroot07:56
didrocksI tried to do the same with the non updated version (2.25.90-0ubuntu3)07:56
didrockssame errors, so I think this is just some warnings we can ignore?07:56
didrocks(but it exit with 1 :/)07:57
mvodidrocks: let me try this here07:58
didrocksmvo: thanks :) if you want a new version, I can bzr push it somewhere07:58
didrocks(the new version depends on gtk-doc 1.11, I ask for a sync request, but no ack yet. I have it in my ppa)07:59

dholbachWTH?!!08:42
dholbachI just pulled the plug of my laptop and the screen went black08:43
dholbachand I could only get it back by restarting X over SSH08:43
mvodidrocks: *grumpf* autoreconf -i works for me, but src/plugins/bbc/Makefile.in is now missing08:45
didrocksmvo: ? Strange, I use it in a pbuilder chroot08:46
mvodidrocks: I regenerated it now and pushed your changes (oh quilt is a pain), could you please check if it works for you?08:55
mvodidrocks: I don't really know what is wrong though with your autoreocnf08:55
mvo(sorry for that)08:55
didrocksdon't be sorry, I *hate* autotools :)08:58
didrocksso, they give me back ;)08:58
didrocksmvo: how did you fix the issue with src/plugins/bbc/Makefile.in?08:59
didrocks(and you had really no warning/no ouput when executing "autoreconf" ?)09:00
=== eeejay_detached is now known as eeejay
mvodidrocks: loads of warnings :)09:11
didrocksbut it exits with 0 status?09:11
mvodidrocks: but I tend to ignore them09:11
didrocksnot 1 as for me?09:12
mvoI did not do it in a pbuilder chroot (*cough*) - but that should be ok for autoreconf patches, I suspect there was just something missing there09:12
didrocksprobably. I have to find what may miss for next update09:13
didrocksmvo: and for including you bcc plugin, how do you fix it?09:13
didrocksmvo: gnome-doc-utils is missing as b-d09:15
mvodidrocks: at first I generated a new patch, but that did not work (bbc plugin missing, I think because it gets the list of subdirs in src/plugins from config.h PLUGINS so that configure needs to be run at least once with bbc in it before Makefile.in gets created)09:15
didrocksI found it :)09:15
mvoso I just used the old one and manually "fixed" (deleted) the conflicting configure09:15
mvoand autoreconf -i09:16
didrocksmvo: that should maybe be written in the changelog, no?09:16
didrocksfor next updates09:16
mvodidrocks: yes09:16
didrocksmvo: do you want me to handle that?09:16
mvodidrocks: or we should try to come up with something better, what I did was really just hammering blindly at it09:17
mvodidrocks: if you could, that would be great09:17
mvoideally I guess the plugin goes upstream :)09:17
didrocks(and can I add gnome-doc-utils which seems to be needed to avoid the errors)09:17
didrockslet's hope that the plugin will ;)09:17
mvogreat, please do09:17
didrocksok, thanks for you help mvo :)09:17
mvoand then quilt on top of it09:17
mvothe combinations from my nightmares ;)09:18
didrocks:D09:18
mvothanks for the update!09:18
didrocksquilt in a pbuilder chroot is the complete nightmare :)09:18
mvolet me know when you are happy with it, I will sponsor the upload then09:18
didrocksmvo: ok, but it needed the sync request for gtk-doc to be acknowledge09:18
mvodidrocks: yeah, we need to wait for a archive-admin for this (seb can do it for example)09:19
didrocksmvo: ok. I will get you read my comment on autoreconf patched before in the changelog09:21
mptmvo, we want the interval to be *longer* than it was in Intrepid, not shorter, right?09:21
mvompt: I was just thinking about the devel release, not stable09:22
mvompt: just a idle thought, not so important09:22
mvompt: http://people.ubuntu.com/~mvo/tmp/Screenshot-Language.png <- I would love to get feedback on this, arne is working on it and I'm reviewing the merge currently09:23
mvompt: it looks a bit un-gnomish, but IIRC you dislike bold headings in dialogs?09:23
mptmvo, I mean, it was daily for Intrepid development09:23
pittimvo: eek, what's wrong with your font rendering?09:24
mvompt: correct, daily auto-udpate plus a notification everytime the user ran apt-get update or synaptic update or anything like this manually09:24
pittimvo: so does that run through gksu now? (for setting the system locale)09:25
* mpt gets mixed up between LanguageSelectorImprovements, JauntyLanguageSelectorImprovements, and FutureLanguageSelectorImprovements09:25
mvompt: its jauntylanguageselectorimprovmenets :)09:25
mvompt: and its confusing indeed :(09:26
mptmvo, that matches the spec pretty exactly09:26
mvompt: ok, if you are happy with it, I am09:26
mptexcept that the top section isn't horizontally centered, while it is in my mockup09:26
mptThe one other glitch is something I forgot to specify exact dimensions for in the mockup09:26
pittimpt: uh, should that really be centered?09:26
mptand that is that there's zero gap between the labels and the menus below them09:27
mptthough I'm not sure whether that's actually a bug or not09:27
* mpt consults the HIGs09:27
mpthm, they don't mention that09:29
mptanyway09:29
mptmvo, there isn't enough nearly stuff in this window to need splitting up into sections with headings09:30
mvompt: ok09:30
mptBravo to asac and Arne09:30
mptI think the window would look less lopsided if the top section was centered, but it shouldn't stop a merge or anything09:31
mvompt: thanks for checking it09:33
asacmpt: me?09:34
asachi ;)09:34

asacwhy not 1?09:37
* asac hugs pitti 09:38
pittimvo: re your font settings, you either need to see an eye doctor or file a bug or so..09:38
pittimvo: do they come like that by default?09:38
mvopitti: I do have to regularly see a eye doctor unfortunately :/ - the screenshot was taken on a intrepid box, the jaunty ones look better09:38
pittimvo: can you fix that with the subpixel rendering settings?09:39
mvopitti: let me try09:39
pittithey are blurry as hell09:39
pittimvo: actually, when zooming it, it's not the subpixel stuff at all, it's the "smoothing" - less hinting, perhaps?09:40
mptasac, sorry, I misread "arne" as "asac" for some reason09:40
mptbravo anyway :-)09:40
asacbravo to you too, mpt09:40

dholbachor longer10:40
asacdholbach: sometimes stuff happens easier with valgrind10:40
seb128well, could might get a valgrind error quickly10:40
seb128it might not crash but do invalid reads or writes anyway10:40
dholbachbut it's consistenly crashing every now and then if I ctrl-d out of a session and close a tab with that (since two days)10:40
dholbachok, I'll check it out10:40
seb128in which case you should get the error every time you dnd a tab or whatever you do to get the bug10:40
dholbachluckily I always saved stuff in other tabs, when I closed sessions in another one10:41
dholbachif you don't use tabs a lot, try it yourself too! :)10:41
seb128I don't use tab and got no such crash yet10:41
dholbachthen start using tabs! :)10:41

asacstrange then. probably a forced close16:26
asaci would have thought that it doesnt close completely if there is still an exec running16:26

pittiseb128: uh, no, sorry; I just remember dropping the hardcoded 96 dpi value16:44

rickspencer3currently it's "Best Shapes"16:45
seb128rickspencer3: I think that's why it changed16:45
seb128rickspencer3: can you read the changelog comment and tell me what you think16:45
seb128Keybuk: ^16:46
seb128Keybuk: any opinion about that since you did the "controversial change"?16:47
rickspencer3seb128: I'm a little fuzzy on this, but I think that may be orthagonal16:47
seb128I've to admit I don't know enough about fonts hinting to have an opinion on that16:47
rickspencer3I think that patch changes the details of "best shape"16:47
Keybukseb128: which change is controversial?16:48
Keybukoh16:48
Keybukthat patch?16:48
seb128Keybuk: I was wondering if http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15004637/gnome-control-center_1%3A2.22.1-0ubuntu4_1%3A2.22.1-0ubuntu5.diff.gz what was people pointed during the sprint16:48
Keybukit changes subpixel smoothing's hinting16:48
Keybukit's the Right Thing16:48
seb128Keybuk: but apparently that's something else16:48
Keybuk"people"? "pointed"? "sprint"?16:48
rickspencer3Keybuk: change to subpixel smoothing by default is good, right?16:49
seb128Keybuk: "Best Shapes" is default where it should be "Subpixer Smoothing", does it make sense to you?16:49
rickspencer3I'm 99% certain that was the outcome of the discussion16:49
* rickspencer3 dog pile on Keybuk16:50
seb128Keybuk: well, rickspencer3 said we have to change the default "Best Shapes" -> "Subpixel Smoothing"16:50
rickspencer3seb128: By "have to", this was a sabdfl request16:50
rickspencer3so it is turns out to be the wrong thing, I can discuss him and Julian ...16:50
rickspencer3however, I think there was agreement that it's the right hting16:51
seb128I've no clue if that's right or not16:51
seb128that's why I try to ask Keybuk's opinion ;-)16:51
Keybukseb128: \o/16:51
Keybukrickspencer3: I agree16:51
seb128Keybuk: that would be a fontconfig change rather than a GNOME one no?16:51
rickspencer3seb128: yeah, by "agreement" I meant, "I asked Keybuck and he said it was a good thing" ;)16:52
Keybukseb128: both I think16:53
oo-dragon_hey can some one help me mount JBOD? (have 2x 1TB drives setup in JBOD from my DNS-323 NAS)16:54
seb128Keybuk: do you know what to change in fontconfig exactly?16:56
seb128Keybuk: could you add that to your todolist if you have a clue about that? otherwise I will have a look to it but I've no clue about fontconfig and that could take some time16:57
Keybukseb128: no, arjan knows about fontconfig16:58

pittioh, what's TryExec?17:23
seb128pitti: the menu item is displayed only if the command in TryExec=command is available17:24
pittiseb128: it needs to check $GDMSESSION, not file availability17:24
seb128pitti: my best idea is to change the vanilla session to have a wrapper, make it touch /tmp/vanilla and tryexec= that one17:25
seb128that's hackish though and we would need to clean the file at session closing17:25
* seb128 tries to think to a better way17:25
pittiseb128: ah, I see what you mean17:26
seb128pitti: other idea is to to add a new type to OnlyShowIn= list being vanilla and patch gnome-menus to handle this one17:27
pittiseb128: /tmp/vanilla is tricky, since in world-writable locations you need to use unpredictable file names, and in $HOME it conflicts with parallel sessions17:28
pittiseb128: I like OnlyShowIn=gnome-stracciatella best so far, I think17:28
seb128pitti: you can use user-gnome-session-pid17:28
seb128hum no17:29
seb128the .desktop is not dynamic17:29
pittiseb128: still predictable17:29
pittiwell, it's not such a big deal anyway, but it's indeed a wart17:29
seb128the issue with OnlyShowIn is what about users who decide to apt-get remove notify-osd on normal ubuntu?17:29
seb128pitti: the menu spec allows merging .menus17:30
* pitti ponders just dropping this menu item completely17:30
seb128pitti: we could perhaps have specific ignore rules in a directory and use this one for normal session, or reverse, special display rules to use for gnome-stracciatella17:31
pittiit doesn't seem to make much sense to me in the first place17:31

kenvandinenope :)18:37
bratscheCrashing, or something else?18:37
kenvandinei am getting notifications i have to click on for song changes18:38
kenvandinei added some WriteLines in there and they aren't printing... so it doesn't even seem to get into that code18:38
bratscheI think I don't understand..18:38
kenvandinejust a note, i am applying the patch against 1.4.218:38
bratscheI thought the only change was that it potentially removes the "Next Song" button?18:39
kenvandinethe skip button?18:39
kenvandinei thought it would remove the action all together18:39
bratscheMaybe I'm misunderstanding the intent.. I thought it should still show the popup bubble but remove the button from it?18:40
kenvandineyeah... it should18:40
kenvandinebut i get the buttons18:40
kenvandineskip, cancel, and ok18:40
bratscheAnd if you click them?18:40
kenvandinethey work and it goes away18:40
bratscheOkay, cool.18:40
kenvandinebut i don't want to have to click on them :)18:40
kenvandineso we should still see the buttons?18:41
bratscheSo it only removes them conditionally, if the notification server does not support actions.18:41
bratscheThat was my understanding of the bug.18:41
kenvandineright...18:41
kenvandineit should18:41
kenvandinebut i am still getting them18:41
bratscheIf you still see the buttons and can click them, then clearly your notification server supports actions.18:41
bratscheRight?18:41
kenvandineit doesn't18:41
kenvandineted helped me verify that18:41
kenvandinepidgin-libnotify is doing the right thing18:42
bratscheIf it didn't then how would clicking the button send the signal to banshee?18:42
kenvandineas are other things18:42
dobeykenvandine: you get a dialog instead of the notification?18:42
kenvandinebanshee is the only one giving me grief18:42
kenvandineyes18:42
dobeykenvandine: my understanding is that you get a dialog if the notifications have urls or actions18:42
kenvandineyeah... this patch should be removing the action if the daemon doesn't support it18:42
dobeyoh it queries the daemon to ask if it supports it?18:43
kenvandinebratsche: ted had me use d-feet to verify the capabilities18:43
kenvandineyes18:43
kenvandinebratsche: so pidgin is doing that properly now18:43
dobeythat sounds nasty18:43
kenvandineas is gwibber18:43
kenvandinebut in banshee it thinks it still supports it18:43
bratscheWeird.. okay, I'll look into this.18:44

kenvandineyes19:35
kenvandinei'll try19:35
kenvandinebut ... i added some WriteLines in that area... and didn't get anything19:36
bratscheI guess that would explain the problem, actually.19:38
bratscheI'm confused about the state of my branch too.. I pulled my branch down from lp and it does not contain my change to AddAction(), but when I view diff -r 77..78 then I see my patch.  It's not removed again in 78..79 and the current revno is 79.19:40
bratscheOh duh, I see.. nm.19:41
bratscheI put it in an actual patch in the debian directory, not in the branch's source.19:41

kenvandineso either it is never getting in there, or... the are catching all the writelines19:45
bratscheIt must not be getting there now.19:46

=== mpt_ is now known as mpt
bratschekenvandine: This is fucking weird.  Notification.Notification() constructor is getting called if you insert a C.WL() there, but if you insert a C.WL() at the beginning of Notification.AddAction() it never gets called..20:00
bratscheBut NotificationAreaService.cs does:20:00
kenvandinebazaar!20:00
bratscheif (interface_actions_service.PlaybackActions["NextActions"].Sensitive {20:01
bratsche  nf.AddAction();20:01
bratsche}20:01
bratscheBut .Sensitive is true20:01
bratscheSo I'm getting confused.20:01
* kenvandine looks20:01
kenvandinebratsche: in src/Core/Banshee.ThickClient/Banshee.Gui/PlaybackActions.cs ?20:03
kenvandineoh... no20:04
bratschesrc/Extensions/Banshee.NotificationArea/Banshee.NotificationArea/NotificationAreaService.cs20:04
bratscheOh hold up20:06
kenvandineit is definately getting inside that if statement for me20:11
kenvandineso weird... it is clearly calling AddAction20:13
kenvandinebut not printing from inside of AddAction20:13
bratschekenvandine: I think it's a namespace collision somehow..20:14
bratschekenvandine: It's pulling it in from the system rather than using the one in the Banshee source tree.20:16
bratschekenvandine: I have to go right now, but I'll fix this when I get back to my hotel.20:16
kenvandinebratsche: sure20:16
bratschekenvandine: I think we basically just need to apply my patch to notify-sharp instead of (or in addition to) Banshee..20:16
kenvandinei wonder why they have their own... and use notify-sharp20:17
bratschekenvandine: Well, when I wrote the patch I was using my Intrepid desktop and it built using the in-tree version.. now I'm on Jaunty, and maybe it built using the system one for some reason.  Not sure why.20:18
bratscheI'll look into it further later.20:18
