pittiGood morning07:05
didrocksGuten Tag pitti07:12
seb128hello08:15
didrockslut seb12808:16
seb128hey didrocks08:16
didrocksseb128: did you have a restful night?08:16
seb128yes!08:16
seb128watched a movie and had almost 8 hours sleep yesterday08:17
seb128and you?08:17
didrocks\o/ that's needed after a GNOME release ;)08:17
seb128hey MacSlow08:17
seb128didrocks: indeed!08:17
didrocksyes, fine too. Thanks!08:17
seb128didrocks:08:18
seb128http://download.gnome.org/sources/deskbar-applet/2.26/deskbar-applet-2.26.0.tar.gz08:18
didrocksseb128: I merged a contributor update of murrine. dholbach asks for an explicit FFe on bug #344154 ;)08:18
ubottuLaunchpad bug 344154 in gtk2-engines-murrine "Please, sponsor gtk2-engines-murrine 0.90.0 into jaunty" [Undecided,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/34415408:18
seb128didrocks: if you want to do another update ;-)08:18
seb128pitti: ^ it's main, can you grant the exception?08:19
didrocksseb128: of course. I will handle it in a couple of hours (my girlfriend wants to do some shopping first ;))08:19
seb128didrocks: sure no hurry, enjoy the shopping!08:19
mvoshopping!08:19
pittiseb128, didrocks: any upstream changelog? does it have new features?08:19
mvoseb128: do you want to do the gnome-media sponsoring (it adds a new package) or is that all discussed and agreed upon?08:20
didrockspitti: the changelog is in the changelog file, no NEWS. There are some slightely changes08:20
seb128mvo, pitti: guten tag08:20
seb128pitti: we had a svn snaphost and upstream rolled a tarball with a special mention for jaunty, there was a blog post on planet.gnome.org08:21
seb128pitti: ie they fixed quite some bugs since and would like us to ship this stable version rather than a buggy snapshot08:21
seb128mvo: I asked chrisccoulson to do those changes, as discussed at distro sprint we use the intrepid capplet and make the new one available08:22
seb128mvo: you are welcome to review or sponsor or it or I can do it too today if you want, we are mostly done with 2.26 so I'm not too busy today08:22
didrocksseb128: bbl, have a good morning and probably lunch too ;)08:23
mvoseb128: ok, thats fine then. I have a look and upload08:23
* mvo hugs chrisccoulson08:23
seb128mvo: thanks!08:23
pittiseb128: sure, makes sense to me08:23
seb128didrocks: you too08:23
didrocksseb128: thanks!08:23
pittididrocks: did you test this on your box?08:23
chrisccoulson:)08:24
didrockspitti: the murrine update? Before the merge, yes. After removing quilt (Khashayar changes), I only rebuilt it.08:25
pittididrocks: please test it in the current form; if it works, please go ahead08:25
didrockspitti: let me launch my jaunty's box08:26
seb128pitti: I'm looking to the indicator-applet update now if you didn't yet08:26
pittiseb128: no, I didn't; thanks08:28
pittiyay new usplash08:28
mvohm, personally I find it a bit misleading that the package is named "gnome-volume-control" but the gnome-volume-control binary is in gnome-media and the gnome-volume-control one is called gnome-volume-control-settings - thoughts?08:33
mvoother than this nitpick the update looks fine08:34
seb128lut huats08:34
seb128mvo: call the binary gnome-volume-control-new?08:35
seb128the binary package I mean08:35
huatshello everyone08:35
huatssorry I got to run08:35
mvoseb128: ok, g-v-c-pulse does not make sense, or does it?08:38
seb128mvo: that would work too08:39
seb128mvo: yeah, use that naming08:39
seb128chrisccoulson: ^ opinion?08:39
chrisccoulsonthat sounds ok. the only reason i chose the name is because the new package ships g-v-c-settings and g-v-c-applet, and upstream call it gnome-volume-control too08:42
chrisccoulsonwhich is really confusing when they also install gst-mix as gnome-volume-control08:43
seb128right08:43
pittiseb128: ah, saw the new indicator-applet merge request; please let me know if bzr bd DTRT for you now08:43
seb128pitti: it did thanks08:43
pittiseb128: if they released a new upstream tarball, it should Just Work (tm)08:43
pitticool08:43
seb128pitti: not sure if launchpad did pick up the upload correctly though08:43
seb128pitti: the tarball download didn't work though08:44
pittioh? worked for me on a different project yesterday08:44
pittiseb128: what happened?08:44
mvothanks, I go with -pulse then08:44

chrisccoulsonmvo - i think you forgot to rename debian/gnome-volume-control.install on the gnome-media upload08:59
mvochrisccoulson: oh, bugger. thanks09:00
chrisccoulsonthat's ok ;)09:00
chrisccoulsonit's just failed to build on lpia, but i haven't checked the build log yet09:00
mvochrisccoulson: thanks, fixed locally now, I do a testbuild with that now and if its all good I upload it right away09:02
chrisccoulsonthe lpia build failure looks unrelated. i386 and ppc just finished successfully (albeit, with an empty package)09:03

* asac gets the test sources09:05
seb128asac: the current commenter stated not having the issue with the test program but you did iirc?09:06
seb128asac: the comment you point has a question09:07
asacyes09:07
seb128asac: "Could you duplicate the problem, and paste the output of the test program09:07
seb128attached?"09:07
asacseb128: yes. that qusetion i saw. wondered if there is something else ;)09:07
seb128asac: if you do have the issue could you respond to that so we can get things moving again?09:07
seb128asac: that's all yes09:07
asac10:05 < asac> i will do that now09:08
seb128thanks ;-)09:08
asacso on metacity it definitly doesnt happen  ... let me boot laptop with compiz where i had this issue initially09:10
pittiI'm off for about two hours; I'm not feeling very well, and need some fresh air09:11
pittiI'll do some work in the evening to compensate09:11
seb128pitti: see you09:11
seb128pitti: you work enough there is no need to compensate ;-)09:11

dholbachhiya09:22
seb128hey dholbach09:22
seb128dholbach: thanks for the sponsoring you are doing too09:22
dholbachseb128: I tried to do the python-nautilus thing yesterday, but it FTBFS09:22
dholbachseb128: something weird with gnomevfs / python-gnome*09:22
dholbachseb128: I gave up in the end and just de-installed, so I could remove python2.5*09:24
seb128dholbach: ok09:24
dholbachmaybe http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/nautilus-python/nautilus-python-0.5.1-gnome-vfs.patch?revision=1.1&view=markup ?09:24
seb128do you have the build error?09:24
dholbachhang on09:25
seb128could be09:25
seb128did you try this change?09:25
dholbachno, just found it now09:25
seb128is anybody really using nautilus-python?09:25
dholbachno idea09:25
dholbachseb128: in any case the proper fix would be a port to gvfs, but there's not much activity upstream it seems09:34
seb128indeed09:34
seb128I've enough things in the desktop to not spend time on nautilus-python to be honest, I don't think it's very used or useful09:35
dholbachseb128: that fixed it09:37
dholbachseb128: uploaded09:37
seb128dholbach: danke09:37
dholbachde rien09:37
dholbacheasy enough to do09:37
dholbachseb128: gotta do something sometimes to justify my ~ubuntu-desktop membership :)09:37
dholbachseb128: bzr-gtk recommends python-nautilus - that's why I had it installed09:39

asacmdeslaur: hji11:57
mdeslaurasac: so, as I was saying11:58
asacmdeslaur: so if you select 10px its the same size? and for 10pt its flipped from what we expect?11:58
mdeslaurasac: yes11:58
mdeslaurasac: well, not flipped11:59
asacmdeslaur: so for 96dpi vs. 135dpi we would expect 2/3 of actual size ... and now its 4/3 ?11:59
mdeslaurasac: I would expect "pt" fonts to be dpi-adjusted once11:59
mdeslaurasac: it's 1.5 times right now11:59
mdeslaurasac: I would expect it to be 1/111:59
asacmdeslaur: yeah makes sense11:59
asac40/96 ~ 0.512:00
asacmdeslaur: please say good bye to the meta discussion.12:00
asacmdeslaur: if you configure fonts with 10pt they will be different on screens12:00
asacif the notion in the gnome appearence dialog actually tries to do "px"12:00
asacand there is a calculation bug thats a different thing ;)12:01
asacand that could be the case actually12:01
asacmdeslaur: so please try the pango-view command on both12:02
mdeslaurasac: pango-view command?12:02
asacpango-view -t "Test Text 1" --font="Sans 10pt"12:02
asacmdeslaur: sorry. remove the pt12:03
asacjust "Sans 10"12:03
asacmdeslaur: please check how that behaves12:03
asacmdeslaur: its in libpango*dev12:03
kenvandine_wkgood morning all12:04
asachi kenvandine_wk12:05
kenvandine_wkhey asac12:05
davmor2pitti: do you deal with the kde port of jockey too?12:06
kenvandine_wkseb128: so what's the plan for ekiga, 3.2 or 3.0.2?12:06
seb128kenvandine_wk: your call I would say ;-)12:07
kenvandine_wki have the patches ported for 3.2, but the deps aren't available yet (or wasn't last night)12:07
kenvandine_wk3.2 depends on versions of opal and ptlib that haven't been released yet :)12:07
* kenvandine_wk checks to see if they are now12:07
seb128kenvandine_wk: new opal an ptlib have been rolled since yesterday12:10
* kenvandine_wk isn't seeing them12:10
kenvandine_wk2.6.1 and 3.6.112:10
kenvandine_wkdamn mirrors12:11

pittiback; my head feels slightly better now12:15
mdeslaurasac: ok, I'll drop this issue now. thanks to you and seb128 and pitti for hearing me out.12:16
pittimpt: no problem; the label wrap bug is still on my radar, working on a small test case12:16
pittidavmor2: yes, I can fix grave breakages12:16
pittimdeslaur: drop?12:16
mdeslaurpitti: I'll let you guys handle it as you think it should be.12:17
pittimdeslaur: I'm not entirely sure that I thoroughly understood the matter :)12:18
mdeslaurpitti: well, me neither :)12:18
davmor2pitti: not so much grave as graphically incorrect.  the listing in Kubuntu for Nvidia looks like this http://www.davmor2.co.uk/jock.png12:20
asacmdeslaur: can you please test the pango-view commands still?12:21
davmor2people might automatically install the 173 driver due to it being the highlighted one rather than the 180 which is the recommended one12:21
asacmdeslaur: and tell me if "Sans 10" vs. "Sans 10px" have the same behaviour that they have in gconf=12:21
asac?12:21
mdeslaurasac: okay, one sec12:22
mdeslaurasac: I need to reinstall jaunty on my netbook...I'll have the results a little later12:29
seb128lool: do you think you could have a look to the pango 1.24 update for debian (and ubuntu since we are in sync)?12:30
asacmdeslaur: ok. no problem. let me know12:35
asacmdeslaur: btw, your findings are much appreciated as i dont have a high dpi display here12:35
pittidavmor2: ah, you mean that the recommended one should come first?12:39
pittidavmor2: btw, does it actually work for you? Riddell mentioned the other day that it wouldn't work for him at all12:39
davmor2pitti: Yes so it is the highlighted one which is correct in gnome but not kde12:40
pittidavmor2: I didn't upload the recent nvidia crash fix yet, though12:40
pittiah, no, I did12:40
davmor2pitti: I just installed it I was about to restart to check it :)12:40
pittidavmor2: if you came that far, it can't be so bad :)12:40
* pitti tests it here, too12:41
davmor2pitti: It's up and running here :)12:43
pittiyay12:43
pittidavmor2: thanks12:43
davmor2pitti: how does the list get made up is it jsut random or do you set the list?12:44
pittidavmor2: it's more or less random right now12:45
pittidavmor2: well, 'random' in the "python dictionary key order" sense12:45
davmor2pitti: Right.  Okay just seems strange that it always seems to be in number order in gnome and not in kde is all :)12:46
pittidavmor2: btw, could you test something else, please?12:48
davmor2Yeap12:48
pittidavmor2: if you currently have a kubuntu up and running?12:48
davmor2yeap12:48
pittidavmor2: can you please install policykit-kde (if it's not already) and run "jockey-kde" from a Terminal, as normal user?12:48
pittidavmor2: using policykit-kde should work now, and I'd like to stop it running as root entirely12:49
pittiI tried it here, but under gnome it insists to use policykit-gnome12:49
* pitti looks forward to getting DSL soon, so that he has enough bandwidth to get KDE CDs, too12:49
davmor2pitti: I it not policykit-kde that kicked in and asked for the password just then?12:50
pittidavmor2: please try installing or uninstalling something12:50
kenvandine_wkpitti: hehe... good :)12:50
chrisccoulsonwhat speed is your new DSL connection pitti?12:50
davmor2Is even12:50
pittidavmor2: in Kubuntu you should be asked for you password at program start (kdesu)12:50
pittidavmor2: while in GNOME you get asked when you install/remove a driver (with policykit)12:50
pittidavmor2: right now you should still see kdesu when you run it from the menu12:50
davmor2pitti: Ah yes I'll try it now12:51
pittichrisccoulson: well, "new"; it's the first time DSL is available here :) will be a 6000 one12:51
chrisccoulsonfantastic!12:51
seb128mvo: around?12:51
mvoyes12:51
chrisccoulsonmy DSL connection dropped to 580B/s last night. notice the lack of the "k" ;)12:51
seb128mvo: do we have an easy way to grep the whole archive for something?12:51
kenvandine_wkchrisccoulson: eek12:52
mvoseb128: source or binary?12:52
seb128mvo: I'm pondering splitting the gtksourceview1 python package since nothing in the default install seems to be using it12:52
pittichrisccoulson: eww; well, I'm crossing fingers that it'll actually work12:52
chrisccoulsonmine went really slow as soon as i told my ISP that i was leaving12:52
davmor2pitti: seems to be working I'll just reboot after to double check12:52
pittiseb128, mvo: I usually run that on rookery's mirror, with http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/scripts/for-srcarchive12:53
pittidavmor2: rock, thanks12:53
seb128mvo: source, in fact the problem is easier than then, I just need to go through the rdepends of python-gnome2-desktop12:53
davmor2pitti: policykit-kde is installed12:53
seb128I guess I could easy get the list and apt-get source everything12:53
seb128mvo: do you have tools for this sort of job?12:53
pittidavmor2: you should be asked for password as soon as you install/remove a driver12:53
mvoseb128: no, sorry. maybe the script that pitti has helps?12:54
seb128looking into that12:54
seb128I'm not sure what it does exactly12:54
pittimy script walks over an archive, unpacks everything, and runs a command in the source tree (such as grep)12:54
davmor2pitti: yes it's working in the same way as gnome I'm just checking that the nvidia driver got removed then I'll reinstall it again12:54
seb128pitti: how many years does it take? ;-)12:55
davmor2pitti: Right it's removed fine I'll reinstall it now12:55
pittiseb128: e. g. for-srcarchive /srv/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dists/jaunty/main/source/Sources.gz "grep -r foobar"12:55
pittiseb128: about a day; run it in screen :)12:55
pittiseb128: it's quicker for main12:56
seb128I guess I will just do a for package in$ $list; apt-get source $package;  and then grep12:56
seb128I just need the python-gnome2-desktop rdepends12:56
pittiseb128: for a small set of packages that'll work12:56
pittiseb128: you can still do that on rookery to use the mirror there12:56
pittiseb128: or an apport fakechroot12:56
seb128pitti: right thanks12:56
loolseb128: Pango: I wish, but certainly not today and likely not this week, I'm blocking various work and need to make progress on my tasks ASAP, also I'm covering for davidm this week12:58
loolseb128: I would like to though, especially since I have armel changes to do12:59
seb128lool: hum ok, thanks anyway13:01
davmor2pitti: That's worked fine removing and installing :)13:01
seb128lool: I will see if slomo wants to do it, jaunty beta freeze is tomorrow13:02
pittidavmor2: thanks, much appreciated13:02
pittidavmor2: I'll change jockey-kde to use polkit-kde then13:02
loolUrgh beta freeze is tomorrow already13:02
loolindeed13:02
davmor2pitti: pop-up for policykit appears after you have selected and hit activate13:03
didrockspitti: I reinstall a fresh jaunty box and there is no noticeable issue with murrine gtk engine.13:16
pittididrocks: nice; then let's get it in13:17
mdeslaurasac: pango-view renders a 10pt font at a sane size13:23
mdeslaurasac: on a 135dpi screen13:23
seb128didrocks: they rolled a 0.90.1 since13:26
mdeslaurasac: oh, weird, the pango-view titlebar says 96 dpi13:27
seb128pitti: ^13:27
asacmdeslaur: if you use "Sans 10" ?13:27
asacmdeslaur: what is sane size?13:27
pittiseb128: sounds like bug-fix only, compared to 90?13:27
seb128pitti: yes13:28
asacmdeslaur: you can use --dpi=13513:28
seb128pitti: just pointing to didrocks that he might want to update to this one, doesn't hurt to get some extra bug fixing now13:28
pittiindeed13:28
mdeslaurasac: by default, it assumes dpi=96, so it renders "Sans 10" the same size as "Sans 13.333px"13:29
mdeslaurasac: if I specify --dpi=135, than "Sans 10" is bigger, like the desktop13:29
didrocksseb128: ok, I will do it13:29
asacmdeslaur: ok. so to summarize. with --dpi the point size is also physically larger on higher dpi screens when using pango-view?13:35
asacand px has the same physical size?13:35
mdeslaurasac: yes13:36
mdeslaurasac: sidenote: weird, my firefox text isn't antialiased13:36
asacgood. i will check. but i guess that pango-view is right and point has really the opposite effect from what we would suspect13:36
asacmdeslaur: thats because you use inferior fonts ;)13:37
asacmdeslaur: you shouldnt allow websites to select their fonts13:37
asacmdeslaur: also we have a regression:13:37
asacmdeslaur: run: sudo ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.avail/70-no-bitmaps.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf13:37
mdeslaurasac: I wish the firefox preferences panel would fit in my screen so I could change it :)13:38
asacmdeslaur: lol13:38
asacmdeslaur: about:config, set browser.display.use_document_fonts to 013:38
asacmdeslaur: the no-bitmaps font will be readded on next upload13:38
asacs/font/link/13:38
asacbut i would still suggest to prevent sites from selecting their own fonts13:39
asacmdeslaur: oh. you could check if all backends have the same behaviour with pango-view ... e.g. --backend=cairo13:42
asac--backend=xft13:42
asacthere is also ft2 and x13:42
asacbut i guess we shouldnt look after those13:42
mdeslaurasac: xft backend gives the same results13:44
didrockspitti & seb128: new revision tested and pushed13:44
seb128didrocks: excellent13:45
asacmdeslaur: ok. but 10px still does the right thing? with --dpi=xxx?13:45
seb128didrocks: do you have still some updates on your todolist?13:45
asacright thing == same physical size ;)13:45
mdeslaurasac: yes13:45
asacmdeslaur: yeah. a bit odd though. size doesnt change here on the same screen regardless of what i use as --dpi13:45
asacbut maybe its because dpi is auto detected for px13:46
didrocksseb128: I have to perform deskbar-applet: I will do it in few minutes, but I can take some if you wish13:46
seb128didrocks: no that's ok, enjoy the nice weather rather you are on holidays and already did a lot ;-)13:46
mdeslaurasac: hmm...me either13:47
didrocksseb128: yeah, what a great weather there! ;)13:47
* asac needs a high dpi screen13:47
mdeslaurasac: borrow a netbook13:48
asacmdeslaur: does a mini 9 have high dpi?13:48
mdeslaurasac: and try to install jaunty on it :)13:48
mdeslaurasac: let me check, wife has one13:48
asaci think i will try mini 9 ... i have that and it needs to be reinstalled anyway13:48

mdeslaurasac: gnome i think, but I'd have to reinstall to make sure13:49
asacmdeslaur: i will figure13:51

vuntzseb128: if you have time after hating g-s-d :-)14:07
vuntzkenvandine_wk: btw, planning to do foresight livecd/vm for 2.26.0?14:07
kenvandine_wkvuntz: yup14:08
kenvandine_wkvuntz: how close is it to announce?14:09
kenvandine_wki was up very late last night testing images :)14:09
kenvandine_wkso i just need about an hour to refresh the latest packages and create images14:09
vuntzkenvandine_wk: hrm, I'm doing some smoketesting, and then I'll work on preparing everything for the announcement14:09
kenvandine_wkok14:09
* kenvandine_wk runs the script :)14:09
seb128vuntz: shoot14:10
vuntzkenvandine_wk: but I guess this won't be before 6-7 hours (to give more time to translators for the release notes)14:10
vuntzseb128: how is 2.26.0 looking for you? :-)14:10
seb128vuntz: any idea what could lead to those issues? I've that after applying a patch which has not a lot to do with it since g-s-d has been fixed to build correctly with -zdefs14:10
kenvandine_wkvuntz: my live images last night worked well14:10
seb128vuntz: good!14:10
vuntzseb128: no idea about the errors14:11
vuntzmy second question isn't actually just for you... It's a dumb user question: is it normal that security updates of hardy also contain version bumps?14:12
* vuntz saw a new glib coming with a security bugfix... and tons of other changes14:13
seb128vuntz: GNOME glib or glibc? no it should not, are you sure you don't have -updates too?14:13
vuntzseb128: glib, and we don't use -updates on the server14:13
didrocksseb128: done, I overwrite and upgraded the repository format to latest bzr one. bug #34483214:15

vuntzseb128: sure, but hardy didn't contain 2.16.6 in the first place14:17
vuntzit was something like 2.16.314:17
seb128hum14:17
seb128let me check14:17
vuntzseb128: you uploaded 2.16.6 to hardy-proposed on Wed, 17 Sep 2008 13:54:46 +020014:18
vuntz(not that I really care, I was just surprised)14:19
seb128vuntz: I'm asking for confirmation, 2.6.6 was in updates for a while but I'm not sure that's wanted or an error14:20
seb128to push it to security14:20
seb128vuntz: that's wanted, they do security on top of -updates14:20
vuntzokay14:21
vuntzsounds weird14:21
vuntzbut again, I don't care in my case ;-)14:21
vuntzso 2.26.0 looks fine here. Good14:22
seb128yes14:22
* vuntz goes to ask people from other distros14:22
seb128vuntz: they do that to avoid having a -updates-security or having to push all the fixes twice14:24
seb128slomo: hi, do you think you could do the librsvg libglade and pango updates for debian?14:25
seb128slomo: we are on syncs for those and that would be nice to keep it this way ;-)14:25
slomoseb128: yes, i can do them today or tomorrow i guess14:27
slomoseb128: oh, for librsvg i want to wait until it's in testing (http://packages.qa.debian.org/libr/librsvg.html) blocked by gtk14:27
seb128slomo: ok thanks14:28
loolpulseaudio is crashing a lot for me today; E: cpulimit.c: Received request to terminate due to CPU overload.14:38
chrisccoulsonlool - you need a bigger CPU ;)14:41
loolOne would hope that a dual core 2 GHz x86-64 would be enough these days   :-/14:42
seb128vuntz: any idea what could lead to gconf calls crashing in orbit when using autostart desktops?14:53
seb128vuntz: we have a small script to migrate some gnome-panel configuration14:54
seb128vuntz: when run using an autostart (ie letting gnome-session run it) setting a key using python gconf crashes in orbit code14:54
vuntzoooh, that's nastily bad ;-)14:55
vuntzno idea, sorry14:55
seb128hum ok14:56
seb128vuntz: and any idea why the error for this autostart don't show up in .xsession-errors?14:56
* kenvandine_wk -> lunch15:02
vuntzseb128: nope15:07
seb128vuntz: ok, another question for you, any reason gnome-session doesn't expose dbus interface for reboot, etc? ;-)15:08
vuntzit does15:10
vuntzdoesn't it?15:10
vuntzah no15:10
vuntzindeed15:10
seb128just for logout15:10
vuntzhrm, don't know15:10
seb128ok15:11
mvoseb128, kenvandine_wk: yet another new gnome-panel with add-indicator uploaded, lets hope its the final one16:09
mvokenvandine_wk: the ppa3 version was still not reliable, it turned out it crashed like this for me in my test environment http://paste.ubuntu.com/133066/16:10
seb128vuntz: how does gnome-session run those .desktop?16:12
seb128vuntz: it's a weird thing, the script basically does sleep(90) and some gconf call and crashes in write16:13
seb128vuntz: I don't know enough about orbit, bonobo, gconf etc but it there something which could timeout there?16:13
seb128vuntz: and decide to close a socket or something because the client it stucked in a sleep for over a minute?16:14
kenvandine_wkmvo: i will test16:14
vuntzseb128: we do egg_desktop_file_launch(), I think16:15
vuntzand no idea what's going on16:15
seb128ok16:15
seb128that's my second tricky issue today16:16
vuntzif it works fine with all other apps, then something is weird16:16
seb128I guess I will never understand that one16:16
seb128vuntz: it works fine without the sleep(90) there too16:16
seb128and the same script works fine otherwise when ran manually16:16
kenvandine_wkwhy do we need the sleep?16:16
seb128my guess was that 90 seconds stucked would close a socket or something16:16
seb128but I don't get where and why16:17
seb128and doing import gconf after the sleep makes no difference16:17
seb128kenvandine_wk: 90 is maybe too much, that's to avoid a race between gnome-panel and the script16:17
kenvandine_wkdoes the panel need to be loaded to add it?16:17
seb128mvo had case where the code does wrong thing when the panel is not loaded16:18
kenvandine_wkinteresting16:18
seb128or gnome-panel gets confused16:18
kenvandine_wkthat is more likely :)16:18
kenvandine_wkthe panel is just *so robust* :)16:18
mvo:)16:18
mvoit showed some applets twice for me16:19
mvowithout the sleep16:19
* mvo still thinks the crash is really strange16:19
kenvandine_wkmvo: why 90?16:19
kenvandine_wkjust to be sure the panel is done?16:19
mvoI pulled it out of my back :P16:19
mvoyes16:19
kenvandine_wkis there anyway to query the panel for status?16:20
mvojust to be sure that it does not intefere16:20
mvoI don't know16:20
* kenvandine_wk thinks if it takes 90s for the panel to start, there are bigger issues :)16:20
seb12815 should be enough there16:21
kenvandine_wkmvo: btw... it seems that even if the script fails, it still sets that key so it doesn't try again16:21
kenvandine_wki would think an actual script failure should problem not set that16:21
* kenvandine_wk agrees with seb12816:21
kenvandine_wkand 15 might be short enough that nothing gets yanked out from under us :)16:22
rickspencer3kenvandine_wk: seb128: I'm going over the dx team bugs right now ... they appear to be in reasonable shape, except for a couple of unimplemented features16:22
rickspencer3thoughts?16:22
mvoI don't mind what exact number to use16:22
kenvandine_wkrickspencer3: what's the decision for the unimplemented features?16:23
kenvandine_wkcram to get any of them in we can before beta?16:23
kenvandine_wkor just wait for the dust to settle?16:23
mvoI just picked 90 to be on the safe side, it should not matter much16:23
kenvandine_wkmvo: ok16:23
rickspencer3kenvandine_wk: they are captured as bugs right now, and are set to "high" which means they intend to fix them for the beta, so will probably be done today or tomorrow16:23
kenvandine_wkrickspencer3: i would really like to get the indicator python bindings in16:23
kenvandine_wkwhich should be doable today16:23
rickspencer3kenvandine_wk: I don't see a bug for that16:24
kenvandine_wkthere probably isn't... they are ready16:24
kenvandine_wkeeejay is getting me a tarball to package16:24
kenvandine_wki'll file a bug for packaging it16:24
rickspencer3kenvandine_wk: it's very important that we have bugs for all of the remaining work, otherwise we will lose track of something and it will come back to bite us16:25
kenvandine_wkyeah16:25
kenvandine_wkeeejay: is there a bug for that already?16:25
rickspencer3I would appreciate it very much if you would help them by creating bugs if you they missed one. They can always close it if it's not needed.16:25
kenvandine_wksure16:26
rickspencer3thanks16:26
seb128chrisccoulson: I'm not sure now, did you say you would work on the tracker update?16:30
kenvandine_wkseb128: how do i build multiple things that depend on each other in pbuilder?16:31
seb128kenvandine_wk: add an apt source which has those or use pbuilder login, copy things there, etc16:32
seb128I don't use pbuilder much16:32
seb128only to test new packages, it's overwork for normal updates16:32
kenvandine_wkah16:32
seb128diffing the configure.in or configure.ac is enough to catch 90% of the build-depends change16:33
kenvandine_wki just want to make sure ekiga/opal/ptlib all build fine16:33
kenvandine_wkgonna upload to my ppa and ask for some testing16:33
seb128I like better to have an another round of fixing and upload in 10% of the cases than using pbuilder for nothing in 90%16:33
seb128ppa is a good way to do testing too ;-)16:34
asomethingkenvandine_wk: Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto#Building%20With%20Local%20Packages16:34
kenvandine_wkasomething: thx16:34
asomethingbasically it details how to create a local repository and how to add it to your pbuilder sources16:35
kenvandine_wkgreat16:36
chrisccoulsonseb128 - i did say i would work on the tracker update16:38
chrisccoulsoni got distracted last night with gnome-media and gnome-session though16:38
chrisccoulsontracker is on my list for when i get home from work16:39
seb128chrisccoulson: ok, I was just making sure, debian did the update and the ubuntu diff is small I think that should make it easier16:44
seb128so you might want to take their update and apply the ubuntu changes on it16:44
chrisccoulsonyeah, that sounds easier. that's what i did last time16:45
emberhey16:48

kenvandine_wkok, i'm confused... how do you upload multiple packages to a ppa that depend on one another to build?18:03
pittikenvandine_wk: set tight build dependencies, and upload them all18:05
pittikenvandine_wk: the build of the depending ones will only start once the dependencies become available (i. e. the other packages get built and published)18:05
kenvandine_wki did... hummm18:07
kenvandine_wkoh18:08
kenvandine_wkit is working18:08

asacmvo: did you see that debian gsoc page has three aptitude project proposals?18:19
asacmvo: do you think that makes generally sense? couldnt we try to redirect forces on debian side in a direction that would better match our roadmap?18:19
LaserJockseb128: around? ogra said you were wanting to demote screem18:23
asacArneGoetje: i saw one thing that still makes me wonder. why do we create links for hitning-medium AND hinting-slight at the same time?18:24
asaci mean in the end we use slight i guess as that comes after medium alphabetically, but still seems wrong to have medium there at all18:24
mvoseb128: thanks18:25
mvoasac: I don't think I can redirect a lot, but I can have a look18:25
asacmvo: couldnt we add our own ideas there and hope that they attract the people instead of this aptitude thing?18:26
asacmvo: or is there nothing a student could do to help apt in general?18:27
mvoasac: I can think of some, I can also talk to daniel about the aptitude ones18:28
mvoasac: one of the things I would love to see is the resolver available from within libapt (or as its own lib)18:28
asacmvo: yeah. so maybe aptitude project could be to factor resolver into a stable API and make that available as libaptitude-resolver.so or something ;)18:29

seb128mvo: at least in the working cases20:32
seb128right20:32
mvojust to have a log in case something goes wrong20:32
mvoinitially it had much less debug info :) but the stupid crash made me add more and more20:33
seb128;-)20:33
mvoI'm really happy that is now fixed for good20:33
seb128mvo: another issue I just ran into20:33
seb128I get the "do you want to reboot now" dialog at each login my test user20:33
seb128yeah me too20:33
seb128mvo: because I installed upgrades and didn't reboot20:33
mvois there a pending reboot required?20:33
mvoaha20:33
seb128mvo: clicking "reboot" close the session and that's all since my normal user is logged too20:34
seb128it's a bit confusing20:34
mvohm, so hitting reboot just puts you back to gdm?20:34
seb128yes20:34
mvoI think I send a signal to gdm that it should reboot20:35
* mvo scratches head20:35
chrisccoulsonyou need to authenticate to reboot with more than one user logged in ;)20:35
mvoI use the /var/run/gdm_socket interface20:35
seb128mvo: hum, I'm using gdm-new, perhaps that doesn't work there20:36
mvolet me test with gdm-old20:36
seb128mvo: you mean it would reboot without consideration for my other logged users normally? ;-)20:36
chrisccoulsoni haven't tried the new gdm much yet20:36
mvoyes20:36
seb128urg20:36
seb128chrisccoulson: nothing worth testing, I just run it because I said I would package it and debug some issues this cycle20:37
seb128there is no configuration tool20:37
seb128there is no way to pick your session type that I found20:37
seb128ie I wanted to start a non GNOME session to debug gnome-session today there is just no way20:37
chrisccoulsonyeah, those are pretty big regressions. i got as far as installing it in a VM and that was it20:37
seb128there is no nice fusa, no guest session20:37
seb128no gdmflexiserver in xephyr20:38
seb128it's the suck for no win ;-)20:38
vuntzseb128: I use xephyr to do my gnome-session testing20:38
mvoseb128: gdm-old just reboots, does not care for the second user20:38
chrisccoulsonit sounds like it. i think i'll give it a miss on my main desktop for now then;)20:39
mvoseb128: I guess that is a bug :)20:39
vuntzseb128: it works fine20:39
seb128vuntz: run xephyr by hand and DISPLAY= gnome-session?20:40
seb128vuntz: yeah, I did that today, thanks to you who gave me the hint when I debugged the "session dialogs are not themed"20:40
chrisccoulsonmvo - i probably wouldn't worry about it too much, the guest user can still log out and then press reboot from GDM, and it will reboot without consideration for anyone else20:40
chrisccoulsoni think the old GDM just runs /sbin/shutdown doesn't it?20:40
seb128well in this case we nag them to reboot20:41
seb128ie auto open a dialog with a "reboot" button20:41
mvochrisccoulson: thanks, good to know20:41
chrisccoulsoni think that's how it works anyway ;) perhaps seb128 knows better20:41
seb128right that's what it does20:41
seb128I blame vuntz for the lack of dbus api in gnome-session to reboot ;-)20:42
mvomulti-user-hippies :P20:42
chrisccoulsonseb128 - i have a patch here which adds that ;)20:42
chrisccoulsonalthough not tested yet20:42
seb128chrisccoulson: bugzilla it please20:42
chrisccoulsoni need to test it first and then i'll do that. probably easier to test in a VM so i don't keep rebooting my desktop20:43
seb128right20:45
seb128or replace the reboot funtion by a beep or something20:45
seb128just to make sure it get called20:45
chrisccoulsonthat's a good idea. i'll work on that whilst i'm waiting for the tracker update to appear in debian20:46
seb128tedg: do you want to do the gnome-screensaver update?20:51
tedgseb128: Not really :)  I can if you need me to though.20:52
=== rickspencer3-afk is now known as rickspencer3
seb128tedg: you better focus on dx work we will manage it20:54
seb128chrisccoulson: do you want to look to it?20:54
tedgseb128: Great, thanks.  I'll have a messaging indicator merge here shortly.20:55
seb128or you are hacking on gnome-session?20:55
seb128tedg: ok, what changes?20:55
seb128tedg: is there any pidgin change coming before beta?20:55
tedgseb128: Fixing a bunch of bugs.  Most of them were reported under evolution-indicator, but they're MI bugs.20:55
seb128ok20:55
chrisccoulsoni'll look at it in a bit if I get the chance, but I wouldn't stop anyone else from taking it if they wanted to, as I can't guarantee I'll get it done this evening20:55
seb128didrocks: still wanting to work or enjoying your evening?20:56
tedgseb128: I'm fixing a couple of little things in the plugin, bratsche is looking at the chat window popping up issue.20:56
seb128ok20:58
tedgWow, only one of the MI bugs was reported...  heh, looks like I got by easy on the bug triage front there :)20:59
seb128tedg: I think the indicator is not really used a lot, for one thing it's not useful and for the other the migration script has just been uploaded21:00
seb128tedg: sorry about the "not useful" but I still don't see the point of this thing ;-)21:00
seb128I never get anything listed there21:01
seb128evolution is running so I don't need to menu to open it21:01
tedgseb128: That's partially because you don't use Pidgin.  And the Evolution stuff was a little broken.21:01
seb128and pidgin dialog just open so I never get anything in the applet21:01
seb128tedg: I do use pidgin!21:01
tedgYou should use Pidgin for IRC ;)21:01
kenvandine_wkhehehe21:01
seb128I use an IRC client for IRC21:01
kenvandine_wktedg: you converted me :)21:01
* tedg hasn't found an IRC client that didn't make him angry within two minutes of using it. :)21:02
bratschetedg: Maybe that indicates something about irc itself? :)21:04
tedgbratsche: Heh, I didn't say it.21:04
tedgI do find it rather ironic that a bunch of Linux folks are telling all the Windows folks that they should try something new yet won't move off of IRC ;)21:05
bratscheWhat's the best alternative?  Jabber?21:05
tedgI don't know the dates, but I'd guess that IRC is actually older than Windows.21:05
seb128tedg: I let xchat-gnome running on a desktop and get notification bubble when somebody talk to me21:06
seb128tedg: that's all I ask for an IRC client ;-)21:06
kenvandine_wkseb128: that is what i used too :)21:06
tedgbratsche: I think so.  But there isn't the large chatroom network like there is for IRC.21:06
kenvandine_wkMI converted me21:06
seb128kenvandine_wk: because it lists all the pings in the menu?21:06
seb128I find pidgin being a pretty poor user experience for IRC21:06
kenvandine_wkit's more than that21:07
bratschetedg: No, but all it takes is for someone to start one.21:07
kenvandine_wki agree with that :)21:07
bratscheheh.. "all it takes."21:07
seb128it's an IM not an IRC client21:07
kenvandine_wkthe MI gives you a list of things you might need to address21:07
seb128I would rather convince those guys to make xchat-gnome use the indicator ;-)21:07
kenvandine_wkseb128: i resisted it for  years :)21:07
bratscheBut you can have Jabber channels can't you?21:07
asac< dcbw1> asac: random question; you guys don't have Poulsbo X drivers packaged for 8.10 or 9.04, do you?21:07
kenvandine_wkseb128: i will go back for sure if that happens :)21:07
* tedg nominates bratsche to start one ;)21:07
asacbryce: ^^ ?21:07
* kenvandine_wk needs to run out... bbiab21:07
bratschewoot, I've been nominated for something!21:07
bratscheLater ken21:08
tedgseb128: I'd like it to also.  I've had a few people tell me they're going to do it, no finished code yet though :)21:08
bratschetedg: I'm depressed that I have to hack on something called "pidgin".21:08
tedgThe name is pretty silly.21:09
tedgIcon too for that matter.21:09
bratscheI didn't really like it when it was called gaim, but when it was renamed to pidgin I thought it lost what little credibility it may have previously had. ;)21:10
didrocksseb128: if there are some stuffs to do, why not :)21:10
bryceasac: no21:10
seb128didrocks: http://download.gnome.org/sources/gnome-screensaver/2.26/gnome-screensaver-2.26.0.tar.gz21:10
asacbryce: whats that about?21:10
seb128didrocks: I'm sorry to give your work during your holidays21:10
bryceasac: not a matter of packaging; it's a matter of upstream not providing them21:10
didrocksseb128: no problem, it's really a pleasure :)21:10
asacheh. ok21:10
seb128didrocks: tomorrow freeze start so you will be able to enjoy the weather and write your book ;-)21:10
asacbryce: what hardware is that for=21:10
asac?21:10
bryceasac: I'll spare you the pool of bitterness and misery ;-)21:11
mvodidrocks: what is your book about?21:11
didrocksseb128: tomorrow, I head to Lyon for the day visiting old friends :)21:11
asacbryce: not even a hint? (i just got thrown tha at me ;))21:11
bryceasac: it's the poulsbo graphics hardware, which iirc is...21:11
didrocksmvo: it's a free book on ubuntu for beginners (under CC:BY-SA)21:11
asacbryce: intel?21:11
bryceasac: yep, gma 50021:11
asacbryce: ok so binary?21:11
seb128didrocks: good, enjoy ;-)21:11
didrocksmvo: but in French ;)21:11
asacbryce: thanks ;)21:11
didrocksseb128: thanks!21:12
bryceasac: it's the gfx chip included in the quite popular dell mini systems21:12
seb128mvo: it's not the first edition, didrocks is a rock star ;-)21:12
asacbryce: oh. so what do we use?21:12
bryceasac: it's a weird mishmash of binary and open bits and pieces.  The stuff that provides acceleration is a proprietary kernel chunk21:12
didrocksmvo: telling "rock star", seb128 is a little emphasize the reality :p21:13
bryceasac: the main problem that prevents us from shipping is that it has dependencies on a forked version of libdrm21:13
asacbryce: do we do that in custom images?21:13
bryceasac: which we cannot easily include in ubuntu proper21:13
mvodidrocks: woah, that is ubercool :)21:13
* mvo hugs didrocks21:13
bryceasac: correct21:13
asacseems dell mini is something we want to support ;)21:13
* didrocks hugs mvo back21:13
asacbryce: ah ok. so thats all custom then that gets shipped21:13
asacnice21:13
bryceasac: the workaround (used in intrepid) is -vesa21:13
asacheh21:13
chrisccoulsondidrocks - that sounds ace21:13
asacbryce: that matches what he said as well: 22:12 < dcbw1> asac: and, of course, vesa doesn't have modes for the Vaio P's panel size...21:14
seb128mvo: http://www.amazon.fr/Simple-comme-Ubuntu-8-10-d%C3%A9couverte/dp/235209189621:14
bryceasac: you need the sarcasm punctuation mark after "nice"  ;-)  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcasm_mark21:14
didrockschrisccoulson: ;)21:14
asacbryce: i didnt want to get tooo political ;)21:14
bryceright, vesa only supports standard panel sizes, and has trouble with HD resolutions.  :-(21:15
bryceasac: people with mini's need to stick with hardy and the official builds.  Not a good idea to roll your own.21:16
chrisccoulsonseb128 - the gnome-session patch works ok21:16
seb128chrisccoulson: excellent21:16
chrisccoulsoni'll attach it to bugzilla21:16
chrisccoulsonit's quite a small patch21:16
asacbryce: interesting. i just installed the jaunty UNR image ;)21:16
asacbryce: worked21:16
asacdaily21:16
bryceasac: I bought my dad a mini 9 for xmas, so already looked into the possibilities there.  Maybe one day there'll be a properly integratable, fully open source driver, but not yet21:16
asacwell. but probably i didnt notice ;)21:16
bryceasac: oh on a mini?21:17
asacbryce: on mini 921:17
brycemm cool21:17
asacbryce: i mean even the clutter stuff worked well21:17
asacwasnt really slow or something21:17
bryceI know the mobile team has been working on getting -psb updated on their UNR for jaunty, so perhaps you're benefitting from their hard work21:17
bryceasac: anyway, if you're really curious of the whole sordid background, buy me a beer in spain21:19
asacbryce: thats a good idea ;)21:19
bryceasac: but basically if we can get upstream to straighten out their libdrm requirements, and if the binary kernel drm bits can be straightened out, then maybe we can include it in ubuntu proper.21:20
asacif if maybe == p < 0.3 ;)21:20
didrocksseb128: there was a bzr branch abandonned in ~ted-gould (2.24.0 was not in it), do I restart from scratch?21:21
bryceasac: and a bottle of wine for lool as well - he actually knows the background much better than I21:21
asacbryce: heh. if he wasn't french i would think that a bottle might turn out to be counterproductive ;21:21
asac)21:21
brycehehe21:21
seb128tedg: ^ didrocks question about your gnome-screensaver bzr21:22
seb128tedg: should we base on that or do a new ubuntu-desktop clean one?21:23
bryceasac: say btw, did you ever get a chance to test out that xauth change?21:23
bryceasac: turned out to be a bigger integration work than I expected (my fault really), but never did check back to see if it actually solved the original problem...21:23
tedgdidrocks, seb128: I believe that one was up-to-date, but it never had the whole package in it, it was just the debian directory.  So it'll have to change someday... I have no problem with today being that day.21:24
asacbryce: lets try ;)21:24
tedgI can move it to ubuntu-desktop or somewhere else.  I didn't realize I hadn't.21:24
* bryce crosses fingers21:24
seb128tedg: we do that too, store the debian directory only21:24
tedgseb128: Oh, I thought that wasn't "the way"21:24
didrockstedg: yes, we do that too. It's just that the latest revision in your branch is 2.23.9021:25
seb128didrocks: ok, take that one, copy the current jaunty version over and commit the diff as a "update to nnnn"21:25
seb128didrocks: work based on that and push to ubuntu-desktop21:25
didrocksseb128: I was thinking about that21:25
seb128didrocks: that makes sense?21:25
seb128excellent21:25
asacbryce: so firefox still starts with changed hostname21:25
asacbryce: looks good21:25
tedgDo you want me to change the owner?  Or just push it there?21:25
bryceasac: \o/21:26
seb128tedg: it might not be the way but we are ubuntu-desktop and not bzr-hackers ;-)21:26
seb128tedg: ie we use it this way ;-)21:26
didrockstedg: no, don't change anything. I will push it in ~ubuntu-desktop afterwards21:26
asacbryce: just change your hostname in /etc/hostname and run sudo killall nm-system-settings21:26
tedgseb128: heh, that works.  ping me when it's good and I'll hide mine to decrease confusion.21:26
asacbryce: you will see the hostname changed in new shells21:26
asacand you can still open apps21:26
bryceasac: sweet21:26
asacIceTransSocketUNIXConnect: Cannot connect to non-local host hector21:26
asac(firefox:11995): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:21:26
asacCould not open network socket.21:26
asaci get this21:26
asacnot sure what that means21:27
asacsounds related21:27
bryceyeah21:27
seb128asac: changing hostname dynamically is not a good idea usually ;-)21:27
seb128things get confused21:27
bryceseb128: well, asac and I just eliminated one source of confusedness for that21:28
asacseb128: well. thats what we are fixing ;)21:28
asacseb128: now X still works after hostname change21:28
asacthats a good step ;)21:28
asaceverything else seems to be kind of minor  ;)21:28
brycehehe, just like fixing dpi's21:29
seb128asac: I'm not sure the session manager and thing wanting authentification ie polkit will handle that smoothly21:29
asacseb128: we have to check that21:30
asacseb128: in fedora it works i think21:30
asacseb128: could you think of testcases for session manager that might break?21:31
seb128asac: well those "GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager"21:34
seb128asac: it means applications will not be registered in the session correctly I think21:34
asacseb128: ah. where is the code that does that?21:34
asaclibgnomeui?21:34
asacclient side i mean21:35

ubottuLaunchpad bug 310353 in libgnome "Default font size too large if using native DPI" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/31035321:43
rickspencer3UI-wise, what are you planning for the "return to defaults" functionality?21:43
asacrickspencer3: that part is "optional" for beta as discussed the day before21:46
asacbut here my current thought:21:46
asacdont chanage UI ... just ensure that 10 means 13.333px21:46
asacand make that happen somehow21:46
asacbetween UI and backend21:46
rickspencer3asac: sounds GREAT!21:46
asaci just need to find the right place to add that fix21:46
seb128asac: I drop the milestone on the task21:46
rickspencer3the bug task is still targeted for the milestone21:46
rickspencer3seb128: thanks21:46
asacseb128: please add the rc one21:47
asacseb128: its important to fix for final21:47

rickspencer3so sweet!21:49
seb128\o/21:50
asacgreat.21:50
asacseb128: so rm_conffile doesnt work effectively in postinst?21:52
seb128asac: what do you mean? I usually use in preinst I think but it works fine21:52
asaconly in preinst?21:52
seb128ah right21:52
seb128you still need the md5sum to be there I think21:52
asacseb128: yeah. i didnt want to bother about fallback case and didnt want to add a new maintainer script21:53
asacbut well21:53
asacseb128: hmm21:53
asacso if there is no md5sum things will fail?21:53
asachttp://wiki.debian.org/DpkgConffileHandling21:53
asacthats the pattern21:53
seb128        old_md5sum="`dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}' $PKGNAME | sed -n -e \"\\\\' $CONFFILE '{s/ obsolete$//;s/.* //p}\"`"21:53
seb128that needs to work21:53
seb128not sure if that still works after install?21:53
asacseb128: but if it doesnt it should fall into the else?21:54
asachmm or does set -e mean that it exits the function?21:54
seb128asac: right you should either get the .bak or it cleaned21:54
asacseb128: yes. but seems nothing happens for us21:54
asacstrange21:54
asaci mena its probabl really that its not in the conf db21:54
seb128asac: where is you postinst?21:54
seb128your21:55
asacseb128: http://paste.ubuntu.com/133255/21:55
asacseb128: only the "if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt "2.6.0-1ubuntu11~"; then" block deals with conffiles21:55
asacthe other stuff is previous debconf stuff needed to be reset21:56
asacthat works obviously because i just rm21:56
seb128hum21:59
seb128asac: postinst is called with the current version as argument no?22:00
seb128asac: where preinst is called with the old installed version22:00
seb128no?22:00
asacseb128: postinst is called with current version. yes. thats why i do lt "current~"22:00
asaclet me check preinst ;)22:00

asacdamn22:03
asacseb128: i guess i owe you a beer ;)22:03
seb128cool ;-)22:03
seb128lut huats22:06
ftaasac, enough beers for me for a few days. yesterday was St Patrick's day. oh my!22:07
asacfta: ;)22:07
seb128asac: can you push your libgnome changes to bzr?22:07
huatshey seb12822:07
huatsseb128: did you received my email ?22:08
asacseb128: damn. i always have in my head "seb doesnt use bzr because its too slow" :)22:08
asaci can ... yes.22:08
seb128asac: read the apt-get source output ;-)22:08
seb128asac: we have almost every in bzr now, only the debian directory22:08
asacseb128: yeah. but i dont see it because i am always sooo sure ;)22:08
asacseb128: good++22:08
seb128asac: bzr-buildpackages rocks so they convinced me, that makes sponsoring much easier22:08
seb128it downloads the tarball, and changes round are push and pull not add and download on launchpad22:09
asacseb128: yeah. its really magic22:09
asacseb128: but it also caused some colleteral damage to get there ;)22:09
asacbut i think now is most fine22:09
seb128I don't care that was before my time ;-)22:10
asacseb128: so the gconf defaults are not real defaults?22:11
asacseb128: they seem to get set on login or something22:11
asacand then if i push "unset key" they go back to the real defaults22:12
seb128asac: no22:12
seb128asac: the "unset key" is a gconf-editor display bug22:12
asacseb128: ah.22:12
seb128try to gconftool-2 --get22:12
asacseb128: so it tries to be smart and guesses the new value22:12
seb128or switch to an another dir in gconf-editor and back22:12
asacseb128: but unset still does unset or is that wrong even?22:12
asacok cool.22:12
seb128the "at login" is not true either22:12
asaci will check that22:12

seb128'night didrocks22:30
huatshehe :)22:30
huatsgood idea !22:31
didrocks_seb128: that's so unfair :)22:32
seb128cassidy: the notify-osd bug is not a bug, the idea is that you don't interact with bubbles22:47
seb128cassidy: they get out of the way if you need to use that corner of screen22:47
cassidyseb128: really?22:47
cassidythat seems really really weird to me22:48
cassidyso weird that I thought it was a bug...22:48
seb128cassidy: if you have a composite manager they become translucide22:48
cassidyhumm22:48
seb128that's a bit weird if you don't have a composite manager running since they can't22:48
cassidymaybe I should retry to use metacity compositing22:48
seb128the experience is not really nice in non-composited case indeed22:49
cassidyyeah, it's really confusing22:49
cassidyit took me a while before I understood when the bubble were appearing/disappearing22:50
seb128everybody should be running a composite manager nowadays ;-)22:50
cassidythat seemed random first22:50
cassidyseb128: are you using metacity+compositing or compiz?22:52
seb128compiz22:52
Ampelbeinseb128: do we include gnome version 2.26.1 in jaunty or do we stick to 2.26.0? i'm asking because there are some minor issues fixed in seahorse now that 2.26.0 is released and i want to ask if it's worth implementing them as patches. see bug #341983 for example.22:55
ubottuLaunchpad bug 341983 in seahorse "seahorse crashed with SIGSEGV in strcmp() when adding custom hkp-keyserver" [Medium,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/34198322:55
seb128Ampelbein: 2.26.122:55
seb128don't backport minor changes that's not required22:55
Ampelbeinok.22:56
Ampelbeinseb128: btw, any updates left to do for me?22:56
seb128ups22:58
seb128Ampelbein: http://download.gnome.org/sources/libgda/4.0/libgda-4.0.0.tar.gz22:59
Ampelbeinseb128: ok.22:59
seb128Ampelbein: http://download.gnome.org/sources/cheese/2.26/cheese-2.26.0.tar.gz22:59
Ampelbeinseb128: ok. for libgda there is a svn-branch mentioned in debian/control. shouldn't we remove this reference in the ubuntu-package/change it to a bzr-branch on launchpad?23:03
seb128Ampelbein: no, just do the update, we don't use bzr for this one since we will resync on debian when they do the update23:03
Ampelbeinok.23:04
Ampelbeinseb128: out of curiosity: is there a list of packages we regularly sync from debian?23:05
seb128no23:05
seb128but basically whatever has no ubuntu specific changes23:05
seb128the desktop applications usually have lpi changes for example so we don't sync those23:05
seb128the libraries are often in sync when we can23:06
Ampelbeinok, got that.23:06
asac_00:06 < asac> james_w: for me --export-upstream still doesnt work23:08
asac_00:06 < asac> thats bad23:08
asac_00:07 < asac> is that my fault?23:08
Ampelbeinseb128: another question (sorry to bug you that late): http://paste.ubuntu.com/133296/ is the output of configure for libgda. berkeley db, mdb and jdbc are not included. is this ok or is a build-dependency (i.e. for a java-runtime) missing?23:16
huatsgood night everyone !23:16
seb128'night huats23:17
huatsAmpelbein: if you need some help with gda just say it..23:17
seb128Ampelbein: compare to the current jaunty build log?23:17
