c_kornhello09:46
c_kornis someone here who works on FUSA?09:46
chrisccoulsonhi seb12809:47
seb128c_korn: hey, ted do, we have read your email on the list but that was during the weekend no need to be impatient about it ;-)09:48
c_kornI am not that impatient :P09:50
c_kornjust got an email that a guy called bruce69 might hang around here and works on FUSA09:50
seb128jaunty is frozen for beta this week09:50
seb128c_korn: you got a reply from ted on the list09:51
c_kornright, so do I have to open a FFe? because my patch adds the feature to disable those logout/restart/shutdown confirmation dialogs09:54
seb128no09:54
seb128that's an easy option and not in the UI09:54
seb128I'm not sure that's a good idea though09:55
c_kornit is in the UI. I added an option in the settings dialog09:55
c_kornit is annoying for me to be asked twice.09:55
c_kornbut I saw the feature was requested09:55
c_kornso it is enabled by default but can be disabled in settings09:56
seb128you are not asked twice09:56
seb128I doubt the UI option will be accepted, that should just be a gconf key09:56
seb128you select the item are asked once and it does the action09:56
seb128robert_ancell: bug #347089 is a nice one ;-)09:57
ubottuLaunchpad bug 347089 in gcalctool "no warning before attempting insane calculations" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/34708909:57
c_kornwell, as the default is to show the confirmations maybe it will be accepted.09:59
c_kornbut won't hurt if it has to be a gconf key only, anyway10:00
c_kornthen maybe ubuntu-tweak author wants to add it or so. I just want any option to disable the confirmations.10:00
seb128as said I'm not sure that's a good idea, it's a disruptive action10:03
seb128and having most install showing a confirmation and some none can trick users to be less careful and destroy work because they use a tweaked config10:03
c_kornI get your point. I will just wait what ted says.10:05
seb128is there anything to do to get the stock replies greasemonkey working in firefox?10:27
pittirobert_ancell: hey! welcome to Ubuntu!10:30
* pitti gives robert_ancell a big hug10:30
robert_ancellpitti: Hi!10:30
pittirobert_ancell: how's London? survived the long flight?10:31
robert_ancellpitti: Yeah, I'm here physically - my mind might take another day or so to arrive though  :)10:31
pittirobert_ancell: enjoy the week (although it'll probably become pretty intense010:33
robert_ancellpitti: It's already intense enough meeting everyone - so many names to remember...10:33
pittirobert_ancell: don't worry; if it's any consolation, I have been working for C for 5 years now, and don't know half of the company :)10:35
pittirobert_ancell: mostly because new people come in faster than I can remember them, and we are too large and distributed now10:35
robert_ancellpitti: Yeah, I hadn't realised it had grown by quite so much over the last few years.  Good that it has though!10:36
crevetteseb128, I didn't look but I guess you have greasemonkey installed ?10:36
seb128crevette: firefox-greasemonkey yes10:37
crevetteIIRC you need to right click on the script that must be called *user.js and choose "install"10:37
crevettebut I didn't played with greasemonkey for a while10:37
* crevette installs greasemonkey to see 10:38
seb128I've installed it10:38
seb128the greasemonkey icon is showed in the corner10:39
seb128there is just no + button to add replies anywhere to be seen10:39

seb128gtkhtml3.1411:28
asacok let me check11:28
asacdarn ... why didnt launchpad suggest that :(/11:28
asacseb128: aye ... it was at the top of course ;)11:29
davmor2seb128, pitti:  Just a quick query which you guys will almost certainly be able to answer.  Why do we have cd/dvd Creator in system?11:44
seb128upstream decision11:44
pittieww11:44
pittistuff keeps crawling into this11:44
seb128the change should maybe be reconsidered for jaunty11:45
seb128I'm not convinced it's right11:46
seb128we should get mpt's opinion on that ;-)11:46
mptWell, Brasero doesn't really belong in any of the categories, does it11:47
davmor2mpt: it's not brasero11:47
mptno?11:47
seb128mpt: they have 2 menu entries now, one opening the brasero gui and one opening burn: in nautilus11:48
mptI thought burn: had been deprecated?11:48
seb128brasero is in the video and sound category11:48
mptor replaced by Brasero, or something11:48
davmor2mpt: brasero is in sound and video and has been for a while this is the old nautilus cd/dvd /creator11:48
seb128mpt: no, nautilus-cd-burner has been11:48
seb128mpt: brasero implements burn: now11:48
asacseb128: http://paste.ubuntu.com/135972/ -> thats what i mean by "unclean" ;) ... clean: doesnt remove all cruft11:48
mptI see11:48
seb128asac: ah, yeah, clean target are often buggy11:49
asaci know ...11:49
seb128in this case the pot is a cdbs bug in some way11:49
seb128we automatically update templates but don't clean those11:50
seb128the thing is that it's not easy to know if the template was there in the source or not after build11:50
asacseb128: ok. and .eplug?11:50
seb128that seems to be a make clean upstream bug11:50
asacseb128: yeah. actually my solution to this is: dont use tarballs from upstream, but bzr/svn checkouts11:50
asacthose have no generated files and then run autotools in rules11:50
asacand you can remove everything on clean11:51
mptdavmor2, perhaps we should reintroduce System Tools, because it would be a better home for things like Terminal, Passwords and Encryption Keys, Disk Usage Analyzer, etc. That doesn't mean CD burning should go there, though.11:51
asacseb128: but well ... i dont even know if my packages are up to that level ;)11:51
asacfor mozilla we went back to embedded-tarball layout which is always clean ;)11:51
davmor2mpt: I don't mind one way or the other it just seems strange to have a whole menu item for one item11:52
mptsure11:52
mptAccessories would make more sense11:52
seb128would be confusing to have brasero in video and sound and accessories11:52
seb128one opening the gui and one opening the burn location11:52
seb128I think the old way was better11:53
seb128the applications entry opening the gui11:53
seb128and the places item opening the location11:53
mptWell, the problem with the old way was that a CD that might not even have been made at the factory yet isn't really a "place"11:55
mptIt makes sense for a real inserted blank CD to go there, but not so much for a hypothetical CD11:56
seb128ok11:56
didrocksseb128: do you still have the gnome-screensaver issue? I really can't reproduce it in my virtualbox :/11:59
seb128didrocks: yes12:00
seb128didrocks: how did you try?12:00
seb128I can get it easily with my test user in Xephyr too12:01
seb128just start Xephyr with the current jaunty version12:01
seb128dpkg -i new-deb12:01
seb128lock screen12:01
seb128and you can't unlock, you have a flicking screen12:01
seb128and no password prompt displayed12:01
didrocksseb128: simly activate "lock the screen when screensaver is on" and wait for it to appears. Then, moving the mouse and unlocking it with my password12:01
didrocksseb128: I will try with Xephyr12:01
seb128I don't wait for it I just lock manually12:02
davmor2mpt: http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.26/#rnusers.brasero talks about gnome decision12:02
didrocksseb128: maybe different behavior? I don't lock it manually because of bad behavior in my virtualbox with [Super] key12:02
didrocksseb128: I'll test tonight and tell you.12:03
seb128there is a menu item to lock it or you can run gnome-screensaver-command --lock12:03
mpt"Although previous versions of GNOME already had an easy way to burn CDs and DVDs, as of GNOME 2.26 we have successfully brought an end to this."12:03
mpt(kidding, kidding)12:03
didrocksseb128: ok, will check that12:03
didrocksmpt: ;)12:04

seb128I clicked on it, there was a firefox dialog asking if I wanted to install it12:12
asacah12:12

seb128what do you mean?12:13

pittidobey: oh, of course, removing \n, sorry16:21
dobeypitti: it makes it be a str instead of a list :)16:22
pittidobey: it just looks weird why you remove line breaks16:23
tedgIsn't there a function in glib to get approximate times?  I thought there was, but I can't find it now.16:23
dobeytedg: 'approximate'? relative to what? :)16:23
tedgdobey: 190 sec -> "about 3 minutes"16:24
seb128tedg: let me know when you review those fusa changes having the translation fixes in beta would be nice16:24
dobeytedg: i don't think there is. i think there is only stuff for sizes...16:24
dobeypitti: maybe i don't need to do that. i don't know. i'm not a python hacker, and the behavior it has with reading from stdout seems odd to me16:25
pittidobey: ah, ok; do you have a snippet how to use it?16:26
pittiI find it weird that adding "'check': check.check" to cmdclass just produces a "name 'check' is not defined"16:26

pittidobey: merged17:19
pittidobey: I'll upload it to Debian and sync to jaunty after the beta freeze17:19
pittidobey: so we have a few more days to pull fixes from your branch17:19
pittiseb128: will look after dinner17:20

dobeypitti: awesome!17:20

seb128yeah17:21
didrocksseb128: I really can't reproduce the gnome-screensaver bug in my jaunty box. Even in locking manually the screen17:40
seb128didrocks: lucky you17:40
didrocksseb128: that's really strange, and so, hard to fix :/17:41
seb128let me try on my laptop17:41
seb128what versions did you try?17:41
didrocksseb128: the one I packaged, ie 2.26.017:41
seb128and the version you were running before upgrade?17:42
didrocksseb128: my jaunty was up-to-date, so, I think 2.24.0-0ubuntu517:43
seb128ok17:44
seb128didrocks: same issue on my laptop17:52
seb128dunno how you tested17:52
seb128I did test on real harware and xephyr on 2 different boxes now with different video cards ati and intel and same issue17:53
didrocksseb128: I just tested with the vesa driver on my virtualbox…17:54
seb128ok, that how I do it17:54
seb128add a test user to your install17:54
seb128Xephyr :1 with your normal user17:54
seb128su testuser17:54
seb128DISPLAY=:1 dbus-launch gnome-session17:55
seb128go to the xephyr, lock the screen17:55
seb128verify you can unlock17:55
seb128sudo dpkg -i gnome-screensaver-update17:55
didrocksok, let me test that17:55
seb128lock again17:55
seb128try to unlock17:55
didrocksoki17:55
waltersseb128: why not just use fast user switching?17:58
seb128walters: because it's faster this way than doing VT switches18:01
seb128walters: and xorg tends to crash after some VT switches there18:01
waltersah, "X bugs"18:02
seb128yeah ...18:02
waltersor could be kernel i guess18:03
seb128in any case xephyr is faster and doesn't crash my box ;-)18:05
waltershm, too bad that gdmflexiserver --xnest stopped working18:05
waltersthat used to be the one-liner for what you're doing with Xephyr18:05
seb128in fact it's still working in ubuntu if you don't run the new gdm for testing ;-)18:06
seb128we still have the old gdm by default18:06
seb128I didn't found how to start a non GNOME session using the new gdm the other day18:06
waltersthe sessions chooser should be in the bottom middle18:08
waltersafter selecting a user18:08
seb128I had only keyboard and language there18:08
seb128maybe I don't have .desktop for other session installed or something18:09
waltersyeah, possible18:09
didrocksseb128: you're right, it's flickering just after the upgrade. If you relaunch a new X session just after, there is no more issue…18:22
seb128didrocks: what did you change since before?18:22
didrocksseb128: I had to restart my session because of VB additions18:23
seb128lol18:24
didrocksseb128: so, I was not testing the upgrade, but just a stable version (gnome-screensaver 2.26 with 2.26, not 2.24 with 2.26 commands)18:24
seb128right18:24
seb128that obviously works ;-)18:24
didrocks… we never know ^^18:24
didrocksso, what can we do? enforce reloading?18:24
seb128"enforce reloading"?18:26
didrocksseb128: try in postinsts to shutdown gnome-screensaver daemon (it's a daemon, right?) and load 2.26 one18:27
seb128didrocks: what if user locked their screen before going for coffee which the machine upgrades?18:27
seb128which -> while18:27
didrocksnever take a coffee during dist-ugprading your machine, you should look at your logs :)18:28
didrockskidding, more seriously, that's a bad issue :/18:28
seb128didrocks: I opened http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=576463 about the issue18:35
ubottuGnome bug 576463 in dialog "can't unlock screen after upgrade until restarting gnome-screensaver" [Normal,Unconfirmed]18:35
didrocksseb128: ok. I will subscribe to it to follow what happens18:40
seb128didrocks: cool, you are welcome to debug the issue too if you want ;-)18:40
didrocksseb128: I will try to give a look tomorrow (and to do the gnome-games doc split tomorrow as well)18:41
didrockshaving my dinner now, bbl :)18:41

salty-horseand I'd really like it to get pushed19:28
salty-horseno. it's not a compiz bug19:28
seb128right, that's why I said "use compiz" ;-)19:28
salty-horseI also commented on its other bug manifestation19:28

salty-horseI think it causes many usability problems, if it's worth anything19:29
seb128right, and usability issues will be fixed for jaunty19:29
seb128that's not a beta blocker19:30
seb128it's only an annoyance and for some users19:30
salty-horsewhat does that mean? when can it next be applied?19:30
seb128next week after the beta freeze I expect19:30
salty-horseI think it causes many other icon-related problems as well.. for example when opening open office documents19:30
salty-horseok19:30
seb128there is still several weeks before jaunty stable19:30
salty-horseshould I remind anyone about it?19:30
seb128no19:30
seb128jaunty will get GNOME 2.26.1 anyway19:31
seb128so it will get the fixes from svn when new tarballs are rolled19:31
salty-horsebut it was only fixed in metacity 2.2719:31
salty-horse(not backported, sadly)19:31
seb128why didn't they backport it?19:31
seb128they might have a reason and that would be good to know before rushing in jaunty19:31
salty-horsegood question. I'll prod the person in charge19:31
seb128cool19:32

didrocksseb128: I had little time just to split in a doc package. (bug #347526). You will be able to sponsor it once beta freeze ended. I added a replace tag, IIRC, it is mandatory if gnome-games-data is unpacked after new gnome-games-doc (files in 2 packages), right?20:22
ubottuLaunchpad bug 347526 in gnome-games "Please, split documentation in a -doc package" [Wishlist,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/34752620:22
seb128didrocks: hum, we didn't understand each other, I was suggesting splitting by locale as it's done for some other things20:23
seb128didrocks: so the language-pack can depends on the -locale binary20:23
didrocksseb128: oh. right, we didn't understand each other :)20:24
didrocksseb128: do you have some example to show?20:24
seb128didrocks: evolution20:26
seb128didrocks: gimp20:26
didrocksseb128: ok, I will give them a look to see how this is done20:26
didrocksI invalidate the bug, though20:26
seb128didrocks: it's basically listing a binary-documentation-locale for each locale in the control20:26
seb128didrocks: and having corresponding .installs20:26
didrocksseb128: are there tools for building that automatically (taken into account the number of locales…)20:28
seb128didrocks: I don't think so20:28
seb128didrocks: you can try asking asomething maybe when he's around he did the evolution one20:28
didrocksseb128: I will be interessed when he will be around yes. I'm currently downloading the gimp20:29
didrocksseb128: is it tdeb related?20:29
seb128I've no clue about tdeb but I don't think so20:32
seb128it's just about having shipping extra translations on the CD right now ;-)20:32
didrocksseb128: ok. I understand better the goal (I see nothing for the gimp in debian/control, look at evolution right now)20:33
seb128didrocks: they might use scripting in the rules or something20:34
didrocksok, there is something in debian/control in evolution20:34
didrocksseb128: that's additionnal .install file in evolution, as you suggested20:34
seb128yeah, I know how the evolution split has been made I did sponsor the upload20:35
seb128that's boring work but should allow to get french translations back on the amd64 desktop cd20:35
seb128so that's worth some efforts ;-)20:35
didrocksseb128: exactly, with that, hopefully, one day, no more need for building an ubuntu-fr CD \o/20:35
seb128didrocks: we have french back on the jaunty i386 iso right now20:36
didrockspeople are really afraid for having some apps in English in the live-cd20:36
seb128didrocks: you still have some extra customization for example etc I think no?20:36
didrocksseb128: all softwares?20:36
seb128didrocks: yes, language packs are on the CD20:36
didrocksseb128: not right now, it's planned20:36
didrocksgreat :)20:36
seb128didrocks: but not the documentation and spell checkers, etc20:36
didrockshum, we just have extra subtitles and documentations in ~/examples/20:37
didrockswell, will see if this extra work for ubuntu-fr is still needed :)20:37
seb128I guess the most important part was to get the language packs on the CD20:38
seb128otherwise everything is in english20:38
didrocksright20:38
didrocksthat's very good20:38
seb128for a demo CD and installer having translations in UIs is enough20:38
seb128you don't need spellchecking etc there20:38
didrocksyeah, seems the good way :) but which applications were dropped off the CD?20:38
seb128ok anyway it's time to go out and get some diner for me20:38
didrocksyes, you should ;) enjoy!20:39
seb128didrocks: not real dropping of the CD why?20:39
didrocksseb128: for the extra space that was needed on the CD to get langagepack back on it20:39
seb128didrocks: the documentation split for evolution won enough to get some language packs back on the CD20:39
didrocksoki20:39
seb128and we did some cleaning too20:40
seb128I might get libgnomeprint* dropped from the CD too for jaunyt20:40
didrocksgreat, I will do gnome-games tomorrow20:40
seb128jaunty20:40
didrockslibgnomeprint is deprecated?20:40
seb128they are just there because of gnome-python-desktop and gnome-games20:40
seb128gnome-games is fixed in svn20:40
seb128and we can split the python binding20:40
seb128yes for some years by gtkprint in GTK20:40
didrocksok, if I can give an hand for the split…20:41
seb128I will let you know but it should be easy20:42
seb128I grepped through the rdepends of python-gnome2-desktop today20:42
seb128and there is only gnome-games to fix (and the change is in svn) apparently20:42
didrockscool!20:42
seb128so it's just a matter of adding a gnome-python2-gnomeprint binary20:43
seb128and that will drop out of the CD with libgnomeprint*20:43
