chrisccoulsongood morning everyone08:45
seb128hello chrisccoulson08:46
huatsmorning08:46
chrisccoulsonhey seb12808:46
huatshey chrisccoulson and seb12808:46
chrisccoulsonhey huats!08:46
seb128lut huats08:46
chrisccoulsonseb128 - it's your last day in dublin today isn't it?08:46
seb128right08:47
chrisccoulsonseb128 - i started working on porting gconf to polkit-1 this week with the patch from the bugzilla, but it needs quite a bit of refactoring. the patch doesn't apply to our version08:50
seb128what changes do we have there?08:50
chrisccoulsonthere's loads of whitespace changes which makes it a real pain :-/08:50
seb128they probably just stripped trailing spaces08:51
seb128should be easy enough to do in the changeset too08:51
chrisccoulsonseb128 - i'm not sure what changes we have. the patch was probably targetted at a slightly different version08:51
chrisccoulsoni shall hopefully finish that today though08:52
pittiGood morning08:54
chrisccoulsonhey pitti08:54
seb128pitti, hey long time not seen!08:55
* pitti pokes seb128 into the side08:56
seb128utch08:56
pittithe fun thing is that I can actually do this! :-)08:56
* seb128 moves chair a bit further away08:56
mac_vpitti: hi... latest apport update works but shows this error.>      /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk:204: GtkWarning: Theme directory devices/22 of theme humanity has no size field          self.w('window_information_collection').show()09:39
mac_vbut i'm not using humanity theme!09:39
pittimac_v: hmm09:48
seb128jcastro, hey, pitivi should be fixed in karmic09:48
seb128jcastro, can you try and let me know if it works for you too?09:48
pittimac_v: doesn't sound like an apport bug, though09:48
mac_vpitti: this started only after the recent update , hence it thought it might be apport bug...09:49
pittimac_v: do you have the humanity theme installed?09:49
mac_vyup09:49
mac_vi have it installed , but not using it09:50
mac_vpitti: oh..wait a sec... humanity is actually an icon theme , i dont think there is a humanity gtk theme09:51
andreas_hi all09:53
andreasnoh, another andreas09:55
andreas_oops ... sorry :)09:55
andreasnwhy sorry? it's a great name! :)09:55
andreas_but that's my name ;)09:55
andreas_yes09:56
andreas_can you help me with a problem?09:57
mac_vpitti: nevermind... i found the cause , HUmanity is one of the Inherits in the icons theme i'm using... thanks for clearing that up09:57
jcastroseb128, it works, thanks!10:02
seb128jcastro, cool10:02
seb128you're welcome10:02
andreasnandreas_, don't ask if you can ask, just ask10:04
andreas_sorry, I was on the phone ... ok, here my problem:10:08
andreas_I am very new to ubuntu and I have some strange effects ... graphics problems I think10:09
andreas_for example: when I play a game with cards and I start new, then it dosn't clear the area, where you play10:10
andreas_or I play a game battleship, and I played one round and start new, then it doesn't clear the area, where I place my ships ...10:11
andreas_it leaves fragments of the game before10:11
andreas_another effect: when I play a game (like openttd) in fullscreen mode, it sometimes switches back to windowed mode, without me doing anything10:12
andreas_could it be that I have the wrong hardware driver for my nvidia card?10:13
chrisccoulsonseb128 - re bug 409621 - the symbol isn't there because it's in a module that isn't loaded yet (i think)10:25
ubottuLaunchpad bug 409621 in gnome-settings-daemon "The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error. During on a FreeNX server suring a session." [Low,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/40962110:25
chrisccoulsonnot sure how to work around that one10:25
seb128chrisccoulson, usually gdb figures that just fine when loading the code which has the symbol10:27
mpttseliot, why do we have the option to turn the touchpad off? Is it just to cater for people who have a mouse connected, or is there another reason?10:28
chrisccoulsonseb128 - ah, i didn't know that10:29
chrisccoulsonmpt didn't the option to turn the touchpad off just get removed?10:29
chrisccoulsonit was removed from gnome-settings-daemon in the last version10:29
seb128mpt, some people don't like touchpads because they touch those by accidents for example10:29
mptchrisccoulson, if that was in Karmic, I don't know yet10:30
mptseb128, then how do they move the pointer?10:30
andreasnandreas_, hard to tell. Try searching launchpad and see if anyone had similar problems10:30
chrisccoulsonmpt - yes, that's in karmic. the option to turn the touchpad off is gone from g-c-c and is not supported in gnome-settings-daemon either10:30
tseliotmpt: are you referring to the Synaptics Off property?10:30
andreasnandreas_, or ask in #ubuntu10:30
seb128mpt, some laptop have this small red or blue round in the middle of the keyboard too10:30
mpttseliot, yes10:30
seb128mpt, not sure how you call it10:30
mptseb128, ah, good point10:30
mpttseliot, can we tell whether the hardware has an alternative pointing device built in?10:31
tseliotmpt: that can be used to enable/disable the touchpad or to disable only tapping and scrolling10:31
andreas_ok, thanks10:31
mpttseliot, yes, I was more interested in why we started exposing it10:31
mpt(iirc someone quit Ubuntu development over us exposing it, so we must have done it for some important reason:-)10:32
tseliotmpt: yes, I have access to the list of input devices10:32
tseliotmpt: some people prefer to plug in a mouse. However, when the put their hands on their laptop, it can happen that they accidentally touch the touchpad and move the cursor or tap10:33
tseliotonly some touchpads have a physical button to disable them10:34
mpttseliot, the reason I ask is that I was wondering if we could replace the option for turning off the touchpad with an option for turning it off whenever (and only whenever) a mouse is connected10:34
tseliotmpt: ok, I see your point now10:35
mptbut TrackPoints etc make the issue a bit more complicated10:35
tseliotmpt: I was about to point that out ;)10:35
tseliotmpt: furthermore I'm not sure we can identify the actual mouse. For example on my system I have:10:40
tseliot"Macintosh mouse button emulation"id=3[XExtensionPointer]10:40
tseliot"Razer Razer Salmosa"id=4[XExtensionPointer]10:40
tseliotwhere the former is not a real device10:41
tseliotand the latter is a mouse10:41
mdeslaurasac: the prerm script in flashplugin-nonfree in karmic is busted. I'll see how to workaround it. I would like to show you my changes to make sure you're okay with them.11:14
asacmdeslaur: remove the --remove-all part of the alternatives11:16
mdeslaurasac: I added --quiet to it instead11:16
asacmdeslaur: someone should really redo all the maintainer scripts11:16
asacat some point11:16
mdeslaurasac: and I need to add the failed-upgrade argument i think11:16
asacmdeslaur: so the features we need is the xulrunner-addons alternative, but also we need the plugin to be installed in /usr/share/ubufox/plugins/11:17
asacmdeslaur: yes. add failed-upgrade for recovery ... but only for lower versions11:17
mdeslaurasac: oh, there's a way to specify failed-upgrade only for specific versions?11:18
* mdeslaur goes to look it up11:18
chrisccoulsonhey asac, on the subject of --remove-all - you asked me a while ago to see if it was still needed when i did the change to mozilla-plugins-gnash11:19
chrisccoulsoni had a play around a while ago, and i haven't found any issues without the --remove-all11:19
asacchrisccoulson: yeah. i double checked twice and we should really remove it everywhere11:19
seb128Laney, hey, thanks for the goocanvas upload11:19
chrisccoulsonasac - ok, thats good then :)11:20
chrisccoulsonasac - i'll close the gnash bug then. is there any way of finding out which existing scripts call --remove-all?11:21
Laneyseb128: no worries11:21
seb128Laney, want to do some REVUing too? ;-)11:23
Laneyseb128: maybe later11:23
Laneyremind me about 6?11:23
seb128Laney, ok11:23
Laney7 your time...11:23
seb128Laney, I might be not online after work11:23
Laneymy ubuntu time has been sucked up by haskell lately11:23
Laneyalright11:23
seb128still in Dublin for sprint11:23
seb128Laney, http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=mago11:23
Laneyyou can email me the list if you want11:23
Laneyi'll probably forget otherwise11:23
Laneyis Ireland any less wet than England is currently?11:24
seb128Laney, it has been sunny since wednesday11:25
Laneynice11:25
Laneywe got some sun yesterday morning11:25
Laneybut since about 3pm it has rained constantly11:25
chrisccoulsonLaney - did you not get any sun this morning?11:25
Laneynope11:25
chrisccoulsoni had to wear my shades driving to work this morning:)11:25
Laney:O11:25
Laneyyou're only down the road too!11:25
Laneyno fair11:25
chrisccoulsonbut i suspect it will start raining by the time i leave work at lunchtime ;)11:25
chrisccoulsonif it's not already raining - it might be now, but i wouldn't know as i can't see outside11:26
seb128Laney, that one is the only one to review if you want to note it11:26
Laneyok11:26
seb128chrisccoulson, gnome-session is using gnome-power-manager for suspend and hibernate right?11:27
chrisccoulsonseb128 - gnome-session uses dk-power directly now11:27
seb128chrisccoulson, ie if suspend is not available there the button should not be listed11:27
seb128oh ok11:28
seb128no wonder than tweaking the can_suspend doesn't work11:28
chrisccoulsonAFAIK, g-p-m does not expose any methods for suspend/hibernate anymore11:28
seb128ok good, thanks11:28
seb128I didn't look into this new world order much yet11:28
chrisccoulsonseb128 - i'm seeing some people reporting that their screen is not locked after resuming from suspend - do you know about that? i'm wondering if thats a side-effect of the new architecture11:29
asacchrisccoulson: good question. most likely a zgrep on an archive mirror or so11:29
seb128I get the bug there11:29
seb128but dunno why it's happening yet, I didn't debug11:30
chrisccoulsong-p-m used to lock the screen when gnome-session used that, but now it is bypassed11:30
chrisccoulsoni can't test it here because my machine will never resume from suspend or hibernate11:30
seb128well it works for some people11:30
seb128so that's weird11:30
chrisccoulsonyeah, that is a bit strange11:30
chrisccoulsoni wonder how the screen is supposed to get locked now?11:30
seb128do you know which part is responsive for screen locking now?11:31
seb128ie gnome-session?11:31
seb128ok11:31
seb128same question ;-)11:31
seb128vuntz, ^ ?11:31
chrisccoulsonseb128 - gnome-session doesn't do it. and i suspect dk-power doesn't do it either11:31
seb128so what does it?11:32
vuntzseb128: ask hughsie11:32
pittihm, it still locks the screen for me..11:32
seb128vuntz, ok thanks11:32
pittiI'll test killing g-p-m if it's that11:32
seb128vuntz, do you know if GNOME will switch to webkit everywhere before 2.28?11:32
chrisccoulsonthe screen locking part must be magic:)11:32
seb128vuntz, it has been accepted but recent tarballs are still using gecko11:32
pittichrisccoulson: right, I use the lid11:33
vuntzseb128: the goal is to do that, yes11:33
pittiso g-p-m locks the screen11:33
vuntzseb128: except evo, I guess11:33
seb128vuntz, ok thanks11:33
pittiwith usign the power button, g-p-m isn't involved11:34
vuntzseb128: there's yelp. Anything else?11:34
pittiand nothing locks the screen11:34
seb128vuntz, not that I know that's the one asac was asking about11:34
vuntzso shaun is okay as long as there's a patch and I believe that kov was working on that11:34
seb128I though there was a webkit version in svn for a while11:35
vuntzyeah, but it was not perfect, I guess11:35
seb128ok thanks11:35
seb128asac, ^11:35
pittiArneGoetje: jaunty ppa->proposed copying in progress11:35
chrisccoulsonpitti - thanks. i suspected that might be the case now11:36
mpttseliot, I'm having trouble understanding the difference between the "Synaptics Tap Action" options (TapButtonX) and the "Synaptics Click Action" options (ClickFingerX).11:37
mpttseliot, can synaptics tell how many fingers you use to press the actual button, as opposed to the touchpad itself? Otherwise, what's the difference?11:37
chrisccoulsonpitti - what handles your power button now then? i thought that was still g-p-m?11:39
chrisccoulson(i really should learn how all this new stuff works)11:39
pittichrisccoulson: yes, it should actually11:39
asacseb128: thanks. i uploaded a 1.9.1 port for now ... so its not really urgent. i can just POSTPONE yelp to webkit work item11:39
pittichrisccoulson: after the recent migration of a lot of stuff to gnome-session I don't quite know either :/11:40
chrisccoulsonso, the power button case should still work, but i would expect the "suspend from the session dialog" case to not work anymore11:40
seb128asac, POSTPONE it we don't track it in an ubuntu specific way11:40
seb128asac, if upstream gets it good otherwise that's ok too11:40
pittiright, and system -> switch off probably won't either11:40
seb128pitti, right that's what I use11:40
chrisccoulsonpitti - that's what i meant11:40
chrisccoulsonso gnome-session probably needs to tell the screensaver to lock now, which is what g-p-m used to do before11:41
asacseb128: yes. its in the ffox35 transition spec. done11:41
vuntzchrisccoulson: please ask hughsie :-)11:41
chrisccoulsonvuntz - ok, i'll do that11:42
chrisccoulsondo you know where i can find him?11:42
seb128chrisccoulson, #gnome-hackers11:42
seb128on the GNOME irc11:42
chrisccoulsonseb128 - thanks:)11:42
chrisccoulsoni'll ask him in a bit - i really should be doing work right now :-/11:43
tseliotmpt: "Synaptics Tap Action" affects the way tapping works (e.g. what happens if I tap with one finger?) while "Synaptics Click Action" only affects left clicks11:49
tseliotmpt: and left click events can be triggered by taps too11:49
tseliotmpt: "Synaptics Click Action" is not about physical button (and the documentation should be clearer about this)11:50
tseliots/button/buttons/11:50
mpttseliot, so when ClickFinger1 is defined as "Which mouse button is reported when left-clicking with one finger", what exactly does it mean by "left" and "clicking"?11:51
tseliotmpt: ok, good question. I'll give you a concrete example11:53
tseliotmpt: let's assume that my touchpad doesn't have physical button and that therefore I can only tap on the touchpad11:53
mptLike a 2009 MacBook. ok.11:54
tseliotmpt: and I want to be able to right click and middle click11:54
tseliotmpt: so I can tell the driver that it should interpret a tap performed with one finger as a left click (ClickFinger1 = 1)11:55
tseliotmpt: a tap performed with two fingers as a right click (ClickFinger2 = 3)11:56
mpt(that's what I want to be able to turn on:-)11:56
tseliotmpt: and a tap performed with three fingers as a middle click (ClickFinger3 = 2)11:56
mptok11:57
tseliot:-)11:57
mptSo how do the TapButtonN options differ then?11:57
mptIf I set TapButton2 = 3 instead of ClickFinger2 = 3, what happens?11:58
tseliotmpt: I think it would be the same in that case12:05
mpttseliot: ^^12:05
mpttseliot, so that brings me back to the question of what's the difference between the options :-)12:05
tseliotmpt: they overlap a bit, I know12:06
mpthm, I guess that can be up to you to figure out12:07
mptI'm currently thinking of showing an option to let you secondary click by tapping with two fingers, so you can work out which parameter you need to twiddle to make that work12:08
tseliotmpt: ok, maybe add that option and I'll deal with that12:10
tseliotmpt: the implementation will be my problem, not yours ;)12:12
mptI just wanted to make sure that they weren't importantly different things that needed to be presented separately12:12
seb128mac_v, no the indicator applet can't be removed from session start12:13
seb128mac_v, it's a gnome-panel object in the config there12:13
seb128mac_v, itg's not a notification area icon12:13
mac_vseb128: ??how come i removed it while in jaunty! , let me test it again12:14
tseliotmpt: oh, wait, it looks like you can lay two fingers on the touchpad and then press the left physical button (if you have one) and have a different behaviour (thanks to ClickFinger)12:15
tseliotmpt: have a look at this thread: http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=682180712:15
vuntzdidrocks: if you want to discuss the mime stuff with the openSUSE guy, I can introduce you12:15
* tseliot -> lunch12:15
mptahhh12:15
tseliotmpt: see comment 412:16
tseliotmpt: talk you later12:16
seb128mac_v, the item in the list is the script to add the panel on upgrade not the actual applet12:16
mpttseliot, so by "left-clicking with one finger" etc, the man page really means "clicking on the left button with one finger resting on the touchpad" etc12:16
tseliotmpt: mac users should have this, I guess12:17
* tseliot -> lunch (seriously now)12:18
mdeslaurasac: I've put flash for karmic on chinstrap in ~mdeslaur/flash-karmic. Could you take a look at the debdiff and sponsor it for upload, please?12:18
mdeslaurasac: I added ubufox, but xulrunner-addons was already there12:18
asacmdeslaur: let me check12:21
mac_vseb128: i just did... removed it from the startup app12:24
chrisccoulsonLaney - it's still sunny here ;)12:38
asacawe: http://people.canonical.com/~asac/tmp/NMAppletScreenshot.png12:51
asacmdeslaur: i am not sure we need to rmeove the alternatives on failed upgrade. have you checked what happens? also we need to explicitly exit 0 in failed-upgrade afaik12:56
asacmdeslaur: the ubufox thing explicitly must not be an alternative12:58
asacmdeslaur: background: ubufox provides a way to switch between multiple plugins oyu have12:58
asacso the idea is keep the xulrunner-addons alternative for folks that dont use ubufox, but have variants in the ubufox/plugins directory12:58
chrisccoulsonpitti - just looking at bug 410241. i already removed /usr/share/gnome-pkg-tools/1/rules/patch-translations.mk from debian/rules in gnome-panel, but it seems that debian/po-up/patches.pot is still included in the translations13:06

chrisccoulson(and obviously make sure that any additional translatable files are in po/POTFILES.in)13:06
mdeslaurasac: oh! I thought ubufox was an unbranded browser..let me check it out13:07

chrisccoulsonpitti - cool, i'll do that then13:11

ubottuGnome bug 580903 in Backend:Webkit "No way to change user agent for distributors" [Normal,Unconfirmed]13:19
tseliotmpt: I'm back. If you have other questions, I'm here13:25
mac_vmpt: hi... about keeping the indicator-applet icon always visible> it seems the user testing showed users always kept clicking the icon expecting to view their mail, but isnt the fault because the icon is a envelope even when an IM client is open? wouldnt it confuse users even more when the icon is always present even when no app is run?! also the panel will now have 2 envelopes always present! 1 from the evolution mail client and 1 from indica14:37
mac_vtor applet!14:37
mac_vmpt: instead of keeping it always visible , how about using the icon of a speech bubble for when IM clients are alone open and an envelope when mail client is opened in addition ? or a better common icon for the indicator applet?14:37
mptmac_v, I think it would be better to use the same icon regardless of message type, though I agree it's a problem to use an envelope for IM.14:45
mptAnyway, the current icon is under the direction of sabdfl.14:45
mptIf you have alternative suggestions you could propose them to djsiegel14:46
mac_vhehe... what can we say then! ;p14:46
mptwho has been discussing with sabdfl the design of the menu.14:46
mac_vmpt: alternative icons? or ?14:46
mptAlternative icon design, or behavior, yes14:47
mptbrb14:47
mac_voh ok... thanx14:47
asacvuntz: how does the user agent string look like after that vendor change?14:51
asacffox has: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.13) Gecko/2009080311 Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic) Firefox/3.0.1314:51
asacffox uses the following prefs:14:52
asacgeneral.useragent.vendor=Ubuntu14:53
asacgeneral.useragent.vendorComment=karmic14:53
asacgeneral.useragent.vendorSub=9.1014:53

vuntz"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr-fr) AppleWebKit/531.2+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/531.2+" comes from webkit14:56
vuntzand "Epiphany/2.27.90" comes from epiphany14:56
vuntzwe can certainly change the syntax in the file to put vendor, vendorSub and vendorComment14:57
asacvuntz: i would suggest to use the same grammar as ffox ... e.g. dont appent SUSE/... ... but put it in between Safari/ and Epiphany15:05
asacalso allow a codename like the karmic thing15:05
asacthe specification is kind of vague and we already have lots of issues with websites not parsing things properly15:06

mac_vsabdfl: or a simple human bust as the icon?15:17
mdeslaurasac: so, where do you select/enable/modify the plugins in ubufox?15:18
asacmdeslaur: go to video.google.com ... then the tools -> manage content plugins is enabled15:21
asacmdeslaur: if you have mozilla-plugin-gnash installed and flashplugin-installer you should be able to choose among them15:21
asacyou can also search for more there15:21
asacproblem previously was that if all alternatives wer pointing to gnash it wouldnt see flashplugin-installer anymore15:21
asacso you can test if it works by updating all flashplugin alternatives to not point to flashplugin-installer15:22
asaci looked at it once and it feeled a bit tricky to do that because of the different code paths for nspluginwrapper vs.  not-nspluginwrapper in postinst15:22
asacfelt like one should refactor the script to do that better15:22
asacmdeslaur: the manage content plugins is only enabled if you have a flash thing on the current site. also it doesnt work with flashblock15:23
asacbut i have fixing that for karmic on my list15:23
davmor2today image has the sound muted and can't be unmuted15:25

andreasnmpt, wouldn't that create a uneven left line? especially in the case where only unencrypted networks show up15:35
andreasnor, well, whatever that icon symbolizes15:36
mptandreasn, it would, but I don't think that would be quite as bad :-)15:36
andreasnindeed, the only other option I can think of would be to align all the other with the most rightmost secure icon15:37
andreasnor it could use text15:38
* andreasn hides15:38
mptOne way of avoiding the uneven left line would be to have a (less prominent) icon for open networks15:38
andreasna smiley? for people driving around your house and roaming for open networks15:39
andreasnthat they can do nasty things to15:40
mptDriving around my house? :-)15:40
andreasnmaybe it's just my friends that does that15:40
* mpt widens his hallways to give the cars room, and points andreasn to http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2008/01/my_open_wireles.html15:41
andreasnoh15:43
andreasnstill, that icon is quite cryptic15:43
mptyes, it is15:44
mptRobert Ancell and I were surprised yesterday that there doesn't seem to be a stock pair of open and closed padlock icons in Gnome15:44
andreasnit used to have that, but then we changed the metaphor to a shield (for reasons I can't really remember)15:45
andreasnand the epiphany devs didn't like that and started to ship their own padlocks icons15:46
andreasndobey, do you remember why we did that?15:46
mptandreasn, yeah, since about 1995 Web browsers haven't been able to get away with using anything other than a padlock for encrypted sites15:47
dobeyandreasn: because lock != secure15:47
dobey"lock_open" and "lock_closed" are meaningless15:48
mptSo even if another icon made more sense, using it would be incompatible with the Web.15:48
andreasnfirefox use some more hints these day, and well, a lock too15:49
dobeybecause the web is so compatibile with everything in the desktop...15:49
dobeyfirefox uses a lock because it's always used a lock15:49
dobeythe lock itself is pretty much entirely useless and without any real meaning15:49
* mpt goes back to work, not interested in conversations that are 15 years out of date :-P15:50
mdeslaurasac: okay, updated source in ~mdeslaur/flash-karmic15:54
mdeslaurasac: upgrade tested, and ubufox integration works15:54
asacmdeslaur: upgrade with failed-upgrade tested? nice.16:06
mdeslaurasac: yep16:06
dobeympt: fight club + internet == http://identi.ca/notice/767488016:16
mptdobey, sure would be nice if every Web site was encrypted as a matter of course16:17
dobeympt: yeah. of course, a bunch of web sites put lock icons inside the page, and they tell you to look for that, and not the browser's lock icon16:18
dobeywhich only adds to the fun of trying to tell the user wtf is going on with their data :)16:18
mptUsually they don't do that intentionally (because phishing sites could use in-page padlocks just as easily)16:19
mptexcept for the daft in-page Visa/Verisign/etc verification pages, which are just begging to be faked16:20
dobeybank of america does it16:20
mptpages->badges16:20
dobeyi got a pretty awesome phishing mail the other day16:20
mptEncrypting by default would also reuire a caching change in browsers <http://twitter.com/fantasai/status/2680667925> to avoid slowing down the entire Web too much16:21
asacmdeslaur: so what does happen for failed-upstream ... e.g. it removes the new alternative stuff and then it runs the old postinstall and adds the right stuff again?16:24
asacerr failed-upgrade ;)16:24
dobeympt: yeah, though it probably wouldn't actually solve the problems16:25
hyperairhmmmm policykit is screwing around with my suspend =\16:25
dobeympt: encrypted phishing page is still a phishing page16:25
hyperairdoes suspend work for anyone here?16:26

mdeslaurasac: you told me to remove the alternative stuff from failed-upgrade...16:27
asacmdeslaur: i wasnt sure ... so what happend if you trigered failed-upgrade?16:27
mdeslaurasac: it now doesn't remove the existing alternatives, and installs new one16:28
seb128chrisccoulson, hey, want to do the g-c-c update?16:28
mdeslaurasac: let me check if it just overwrites, or if it installes them in double16:28
chrisccoulsonseb128 - yeah, i can do that16:28
seb128chrisccoulson, thanks16:28
chrisccoulsonmore GtkBuilder porting ;)16:28
asacmdeslaur: so at least i wanted the exit 0 only to happen for the version bound we had ... otherwise we still want to fail16:29
asacmdeslaur: i thought that we dont want to do anything else, but exit 0 for that case16:29
asace.g. we just catch any eventual error and continue as planned16:29
asacmdeslaur: i thought it wouldnt add anything ... but i could be wrong - if it calls the new postinst twice or something ... let me check the debian reference16:30
chrisccoulsonseb128 / pitti - i just asked hughsie about the screensaver locking issue on suspend, and he thinks gnome-session should lock the screensaver now16:35
seb128yeah that's what I was assuming too16:35
chrisccoulsonthat makes sense anyway16:35
seb128it's all vuntz's fault ;-)16:35
chrisccoulsonheh16:35
mdeslaurasac: not sure why you think it would call the new postinst twice. Basically, it tries old-prerm, that fails, so it calls new-prerm failed-upgrade and then continues16:36
asacmdeslaur: ok so i think really just use exit 0 if version < X ... that should work (none of the whole removal stuff is needed= ... but16:36
mdeslaurasac: okay, you're right...the rm stuff will still get executed by the old-prerm before failing16:36
asacmdeslaur: right. so we can still do it if we are not sure if there are other error cases16:36
mdeslaurasac: is the ubufox link creation stuff okay?16:37
asaclet me check ;)16:37
vuntzseb128: it's all hughsie's fault, he wrote the patch16:40
asacmdeslaur: i think the mkdir -p fails if the dir already exists?16:40
seb128vuntz, yeahyeah16:40
asacmdeslaur: at best put a .dirs file in the package with /usr/lib/ubufox/plugins ... that should prevent the problems16:41
=== pedro__ is now known as pedro_
mdeslaurasac: no, it shouldn't fail16:41
mdeslaurasac: I already have a .dirs file with it in16:41
mdeslaurasac: I guess I can remove the mkdir than16:42
vuntzseb128: well, of course, I could also blame you :-)16:42
asacmdeslaur: yes the mkdir would always fail then i would think ... unless we dont have set -e16:42
asacmkdir /tmp/ && echo yes16:42
asacmkdir: cannot create directory `/tmp/': File exists16:42
asacor is -p different?16:42
mdeslaur-p is differentr16:42
asacok16:42
asacbut remove it16:42
asacmdeslaur: btw its /usr/share/ubufox/plugins16:43
asacnot lib16:43
mdeslaurasac: d'oh16:43
asacmdeslaur: so while testing you probably didnt change _all_ alternatives that firefox looks at16:44
mdeslaurasac: yes I did16:44
asacthats at least xulrunner-addons firefox-addons mozilla16:44
asac;)16:44
mdeslauroh, mozilla?16:44
asacyes16:44
mdeslaurasac: I changed /etc/alternatives/*flashplugin16:45
mdeslaurasac: since I had the mkdir, it worked even though I typoed the .dirs file16:45
asacmdeslaur: ok. maybe fix the ubufox directory lib thing and will do a quick check and then upload16:48
mdeslaurasac: I've: 1- removed the mkdirs, 2- fixed the .dirs file, 3- moved the exit 0 into the if16:49
mdeslaurasac: I'll retest16:49
asacand removed all the stuff in the if?16:49
asacotherwise add the alternative removal in a way that it cannot fail16:49
asace.g either all or nothing in there ;)16:50
mdeslaurasac: oh, okay...I thought you said not to.16:50
mdeslaurasac: done16:50
asacmdeslaur: well. what i ment initially was to remove everything ... guess that wasnt clear16:50
asacbut if we do something we should also keep the alternative removal16:50
asacit doesnt really matter ....16:51
mdeslaurokay, I'll remove everything16:51
asacgreat. thats less risk for errors ;)16:51
asacthe rest looks good16:51
sabdflmac_v: no, the envelop stays please16:55
mac_vsabdfl: ok... thanx for the reply :)16:56

asacmdeslaur: uploading. the only problem that isnt really solved is that the gnash link isnt really tracked in any packaging/alternative system17:34
asacmdeslaur: if you want you can fix that ... i can tell you my ideas (now that i remember the problem that would require some refactoring)17:34
asacmdeslaur: so the real fix is to ship a link in /usr/share/ubufox/plugins/libflashplayer.so that points to a /var/lib/... location ... and the postinst puts the right file there (either wrapper or native thing)17:35

chrisccoulsonis it normal for the indicator applet to display even before i run any messaging application now?17:52
mdeslaurthanks asac :)17:52
seb128chrisccoulson, there is a bug open about it17:55
seb128chrisccoulson, it somewhat make sense or would you remove it from the config otherwise?17:55
chrisccoulsoncool. that behaviour is really wierd, especially seeing as the menu is empty when you click on it17:56
chrisccoulsonif you see that on log in, it suggests that you have a message of some sort - it seems a little unexpected to see an envelope as soon as you log in. If i didn't know any better, i'd probably navigate to it, see it had an empty menu (which just looks broken), and then remove it from the panel17:58
chrisccoulsoni'll get my girlfriend to log in and see what she does with it ;)17:58
seb128they plan to add the applications there I think17:59
seb128ie it would start pidgin if it's not running17:59
chrisccoulsoni removed it from my girlfriends config because she had no idea you were meant to use it to raise the pidgin buddy list, so I'm not sure that launching a messaging application from it would be any more intuitive18:00
chrisccoulsonshe just kept re-raising the buddy list from the applications menu, because she had no idea where it went18:00
