dobeycrap. now xmpp accounts seem to be crashing pidgin for me :(00:43
dobeyyay, and there's an update to fix it00:47
wgrantjcastro: I forwarded most of that patch upstream, but left the rewritten touchpad parts in Ubuntu because I thought they were a bit crap.01:47

Nafallomeh12:12
Nafallodoesn't look like gajim is making use of the indicator-applet :-/12:12
kenvandine_wkNafallo: does it show up in the indicator at all?  and just not get individual messages?13:21
Nafallokenvandine_wk: if I left click the envelope it tells me "Gajim Instant Messenger", but that's about it.13:22
kenvandine_wkNafallo: ok... that is what i saw the other day too13:38
kenvandine_wkNafallo: but... when i first patched it, it would show you messages too13:38
Nafallokenvandine_wk: I'm a bit confused about what's supposed to happen :-)13:38
kenvandine_wkNafallo: is my patch in the package?  or the patch that got applied upstream?13:38
kenvandine_wkNafallo: when a message appears from someone, you should get an entry for that chat13:38
Nafallokenvandine_wk: both. I haven't pulled a new upstream, but it's in their SVN as well as the package.13:39
kenvandine_wkhttp://blogs.gnome.org/kenvandine/2009/03/06/pidgin-sucks-less-for-irc/13:39
kenvandine_wkfor an example13:39
Nafallohehe. looking.13:39
kenvandine_wkbut now the chat would appear as a sub item under Pidgin13:39
NafalloI read the patch and expected what you just said though :-)13:39
kenvandine_wkit was working :)13:40
kenvandine_wkso either the changes to libindicate 0.1.5 broke it... or the patch is wrong13:40
kenvandine_wkbut13:40
kenvandine_wki have tested the example IM python script with 0.1.513:40
kenvandine_wkand it works13:41
Nafallohehe. can we ammend the patch to make it work again then? :-D13:41
kenvandine_wkwhich uses the exact same methods13:41
kenvandine_wkyes13:41
kenvandine_wkNafallo: can you file a bug and assign it to me?13:41
Nafallokenvandine_wk: sure13:41
kenvandine_wki have a few other things to do first :)13:41
* Nafallo hears "few" ;-)13:42
Nafallokenvandine_wk: bug 340213 re-opened13:46

kenvandine_wkjust for comparison13:48

rickspencer3looks like lots of folks on holiday today14:57
rickspencer3that's nice14:57
dobeyrickspencer3: yeah, i should have just taken holiday too14:59
rickspencer3heh14:59
kenvandine_wkrickspencer3: good day to get stuff done :)15:32
rickspencer3yeah15:32
rickspencer3I think I'm going to take the afternoon off if at all possible15:32
tedgrickspencer3: Off, I'm already behind on 9.10 stuff! :)15:34
rickspencer3today is the deadline to submit to desktop summit !!!16:18
calcfor some reason over the past day or so evolution has started crashing on me often, it just vanishes in the middle of working16:20
tedgrickspencer3 and davidbarth: So what are we thinking about the FUSA bug?  Jaunty or not?16:26
rickspencer3calc: ditto16:26
rickspencer3tedg: what's the bug #?16:26
rickspencer3calc: I think yesterday's update fixed it for me though16:27
rickspencer3also evo crashing does not play nice with the messaging indicator16:27
calcah i updated just now but evolution didn't update so maybe it was something else that helped16:27
tedgrickspencer3: bug 35745516:27
ubottuLaunchpad bug 357455 in fast-user-switch-applet "Shutdown menu option has "..." but action is immediate" [Medium,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/35745516:27
rickspencer3right16:28
rickspencer3can't we just remove the "..."?16:28
calcanyone know if lower level automake targets (eg distclean) are supposed to call higher level targets as well (eg clean) ?16:28
calci'm seeing an issue in ooo-build where it has a clean target in the Makefile.am that doesn't get called when distclean is run16:28
rickspencer3tedg: I think detecting that another user is connected and programming a way to block the shutdown is out of scope for Jaunty16:29
rickspencer3that's mho16:29
rickspencer3remove the "..." and move on to other important things16:29
rickspencer3like position of applets :)16:30
tedgrickspencer3: It's not that simple.  It basically is that we're detecting the case as multi-user when someone has two logins as the same user.16:30
tedgrickspencer3: There should be a dialog, and we think there will be, and teh PolicyKit doesn't put up one.16:30
tedgI'm done with my part of the applet one :)16:31
* tedg was quick to invalidate that on indicator-applet ;)16:31
rickspencer3tedg: okay16:33
rickspencer3understood better16:33
rickspencer3given that we're past Final Freeze, I would say that the fact that selecting "shutdown" or "restart" actually causes those actions to happen is unfortunate16:33
rickspencer3but I suspect that any bug fixes will cause a cascade of regressions16:34
rickspencer3my opinion is that this should be punted to Karmic16:34
tedgThat's kinda how I feel, but I guess I'd like an official decision on the bug :)16:34
rickspencer3who is the decider?16:34
kenvandine_wkrickspencer3: yeah... the applet positioning is basically done... just needs to be uploaded with the new patch from tedg16:34
rickspencer3davidbarth: ^^^^^^16:34
rickspencer3kenvandine_wk: yeah, I was being kind of sarcastic16:35
tedgrickspencer3: If it's for release stuff, I'd guess the release team.  If not them, I'd say you :)16:35
rickspencer3before you submit the change, we need to clarify with the design team that there is actual consensus that it'st eh right change16:35
kenvandine_wkrickspencer3: i guess hard to get the "tone" via irc :-p16:35
rickspencer3tedg: I just gave you my guidance16:35
rickspencer3however, I prefer team deciscion making and consensus in issues like this16:36
rickspencer3can we get davidbarth to weigh in?16:36
rickspencer3kenvandine_wk: ack on the tone thing16:36
rickspencer3plus I'16:36
rickspencer3m a bit grumpy today :/16:36
tedgrickspencer3: Let's see...16:36
tedgSo I hear that England could be France in football any day of the week.  :)16:36
tedgbeat that is.16:37
rickspencer3hehe16:37
rickspencer3I think that California wine surpassed French wine years ago16:37
rickspencer3nothing?16:37
rickspencer3:)16:38
rickspencer3kenvandine_wk: in terms of moving the MI, it also breaks visual freeze16:38
kenvandine_wkrickspencer3: yup!16:38
kenvandine_wknot a good time to do it16:38
rickspencer3so we need to let the documentation team know that we might be invalidating all of their screen shots16:38
rickspencer3marketing may be impacted as well16:38
rickspencer3they may have screenshots and what not ready to go16:38
kenvandine_wkrickspencer3: have we gotten any word from design folks?16:39
rickspencer3kenvandine_wk: they seem to be all on holiday16:39
tedgI learned that French wine was saved by Texas grape roots.  I think that we should ship Bush over as our representative to France...16:39
rickspencer3lol16:39
kenvandine_wkrickspencer3: my wife is from the napa valley... she has very strong opinions on the subjet16:40
kenvandine_wkand always gets a bit pissed when i buy sonoma valley wine :)16:40
kenvandine_wki think buying french wine would be terms for divorce16:42
* tedg mails kenvandine_wk some Texas wine ;)16:43
kenvandine_wkhehe16:43
kenvandine_wkshe wouldn't touch the NC wine i bought... but after drinking it i don't blame her16:44
* kenvandine_wk hopes to have his plate cleared before lunch so he can spend some time on his submission for the desktop summit16:48
tedgrickspencer3: kenvandine_wk: Can you guys comment on these please?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/148415/  http://paste.ubuntu.com/148416/16:52
kenvandine_wktedg: isn't there quite a bit of overlap in those too?16:53
kenvandine_wktwo even16:53
tedgkenvandine_wk: I was thinking one would be panel focused, and one would be application focused.16:54
tedgI think I have an hour of material... ;)16:54
kenvandine_wkfor each?16:54
tedgNo, each talk is a half hour.16:55
kenvandine_wktedg: btw... i am doing an article on the indicator for the gnome journal16:55
kenvandine_wkok... are they 30m slots?16:55
tedgYeah, 30m slots.16:55
tedgkenvandine_wk: Oh, cool, that'll be fun.16:55
kenvandine_wkspecifically porting apps to use the indicator :)16:55
kenvandine_wki wish there were mono bindings :-D16:56
tedgFor both of the talks I want to use the messaging use case, but then talk about extending it beyond that a lot.16:56
kenvandine_wktedg: ok, looks good to me16:56
tedgIs there mono gobject introspection?16:56
kenvandine_wki think so16:57
kenvandine_wkfirerabbit wrote a tool for doing part of that16:57
tedgYou could try enabling that.  PyBank wasn't up to it, but the mono one might work.16:57
tedgWe dropped the gobject-introspection from the package, but it's still in the tarball.16:57
kenvandine_wkyeah16:58
kenvandine_wki played with it a little16:58
kenvandine_wki know nothing about using it though16:58
tedgYou shouldn't have to, it should just work ;)16:58
kenvandine_wki really want to see more apps using the indicator16:58
kenvandine_wkwell16:58
kenvandine_wkit creates some mapping right?16:59
tedgIt creates a GIR file, and I think youhave to use a lib to load that file.16:59
kenvandine_wkoh...16:59
kenvandine_wkhumm16:59
kenvandine_wki might need to play with that... in my infinite spare time :)16:59
tedgHeh, or convince walters to write a GNOME Journal article on it that you can then read ;)17:00
kenvandine_wkhehe17:00
kenvandine_wkthat would actually be a great article17:00
chrisccoulsonhi tedg, has seb128 spoken to you this week about fusa changes (specifically, making session saving work when exiting via the fusa)?17:29
tedgchrisccoulson: No, but I noticed some comments on ubuntu-devel about it.17:29
chrisccoulsonyeah, i made a change to gnome-session to expose 2 new dbus methods, as gnome-session has been fixed to work properly now17:30
chrisccoulsoni've also done the corresponding fusa change as well, but it needs some review17:30
tedgchrisccoulson: Okay, is it in LP?17:31
chrisccoulsonsession saving is working quite nicely here now :)17:31
chrisccoulsonit's not on lp yet, i'll do that in a moment17:31
chrisccoulsontedg - my fusa changes are on lp now19:00
chrisccoulsonhttps://code.edge.launchpad.net/~chrisccoulson/fast-user-switch-applet/session_management19:00
chrisccoulsoni also updated the packaging branch (i had to do this to be able to build and test the changes anyway): https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~chrisccoulson/fast-user-switch-applet/ubuntu-packaging-jaunty19:01
=== Keybuk_ is now known as Keybuk
tedgchrisccoulson: Looking through the diff, and that looks pretty good.  Do you know if gnome-session does the policy-kit dialog if need be?19:25
chrisccoulsonit does:)19:25
chrisccoulsonit takes care of everything for us. the only PK support required in the FUSA still is to detect whether we need to authenticate, to decide on whether to display the confirmation dialog or not19:26
tedgThat makes life easier.19:28
chrisccoulsonthanks for reviewing it:)19:31
chrisccoulsontedg - i'm going to update the fusa change slightly. i just noticed an issue where if you cancel the log out dialog and then select shutdown or restart when other users are logged in, it displays the old logout dialog again instead of the policykit dialog19:52
chrisccoulsonminor mistake ;)19:52
tedgchrisccoulson: Heh, ah yes.19:55
=== rickspencer3 is now known as rickspencer3-afk
chrisccoulsontedg - i've corrected both bzr branches now to remove that problem20:16
tedgchrisccoulson: Cool.  Do you want me to build a package?  I don't see any reason that I need to make one as I'm sure you've got one :)20:18
chrisccoulsontedg - you don't need to build one unless you want to try it out too, as I've got one here already. thanks20:22
tedgchrisccoulson: Great, I will, I'm very excited about the fix.  I just wanted to ensure you weren't waiting on me :)20:23

* didrocks has finally found where the error was in his LaTeX file :)20:31
didrockshey chrisccoulson20:31
didrocksI'm eager to see your FUSA patch :)20:32
chrisccoulsoni can put the package in my ppa if you like, for you to try out20:32
didrockschrisccoulson: hum, I am quit busy, not sure to test before it goes to official repos20:32
didrocksquite*20:33
chrisccoulsonif it gets there. we've got to convince the release team yet i think ;)20:33
chrisccoulsonbut i think that session saving is quite important20:33
didrockschrisccoulson: I totally agree. ok, upload to your ppa. I will give a shot20:34
didrocks(how to find some time before 2.26.1 to package ? O_o)20:34
chrisccoulsondidrocks - that's uploaded to my ppa now (just waiting for it to finish building)20:42
didrockschrisccoulson: great, I will keep you in touch20:45
chrisccoulsonthanks. i'm just off to make some dinner now20:47
Nafallokenvandine_wk: a tad more open to an get a patch to hide the gajim trayicon in the advanced options and enable that by default on Ubuntu now.21:20
Nafallokenvandine_wk: unless we can make the hiding dependant on python-indicate being installed...21:21
kenvandine_wkwe should be able to do that21:21
Nafallonot sure if that will cover the use case though. can someone install python-indicate and not use the applet... ;-)21:21
kenvandine_wktrue21:22
kenvandine_wkalthough21:22
kenvandine_wktedg: did you guys add a way to determine if the applet is available?21:22
Nafalloooh. and then make something in the python binding to allow applications to check for that... would be swell :-)21:23
Yasumotoheya guys, if anyone has a chance to peek at https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/358690, that'd be epic. It seems the issue is a symlink wasn't updated to point to the new name of a plugin, but I'm wondering if it's better to have a discrepancy in the symlink vs. real-file name, or to change the name of the symlink (and update it in firefox)21:26
