[00:34] hey robert_ancell - i see you've taken the gnome-system-tools update [00:34] are you doing system-tools-backends too? [00:35] hi chrisccoulson, I will do [00:35] thanks:) [01:59] bryc [01:59] bryce - Xorg will re-use window ID's won't it? [02:01] so, if an application has a window ID from an event at some point in time, and then does something with it later on, there is no guarantee that the ID will correspond to the same window? [06:10] Good morning [06:14] morning [06:55] hey pitti, can you look at the changes I am making in bug 417985 for the new polkit release? I need to package this to make the new gnome-system-tools work [06:55] Launchpad bug 417985 in policykit-1-gnome "Update to 0.94" [Wishlist,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/417985 [06:55] hey robert_ancell [06:56] pitti, polkit-gnome now has polkitgtk functionality, how do you think the package should be split? [06:57] robert_ancell: you mean a libpolkit-gtk? [06:57] pitti, yes [06:57] pitti, but it shares translations with the existing polkit-gnome code [06:57] robert_ancell: if it builds a new shared library, it should be split out, yes [06:57] robert_ancell: that's fine [06:59] great, another step on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/PolicyKitOneMigration [07:00] robert_ancell: btw, the source package is named policykit-1-gnome [07:01] pitti, but polkit-1-gnome upstream :) [07:01] robert_ancell: right, but the branch is policykit-gnome-1 [07:01] anyway, once the migration is done, we can drop the -1 [07:01] robert_ancell: do you have a package for new policykit-1, too? [07:02] pitti, yes [07:02] bug 417984 [07:02] Launchpad bug 417984 in policykit-1 "Update to 0.94" [Wishlist,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/417984 [07:02] robert_ancell: so yes, please split out the new gtk library then [07:03] robert_ancell: I'll sponsor that in the meantime then [07:19] robert_ancell: bug 417984 updated, apparently this is missing some build deps; could you please check the configure.ac diff? [07:19] Launchpad bug 417984 in policykit-1 "Update to 0.94" [Wishlist,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/417984 [07:19] pitti, ok [07:22] pitti, oh, introspection. I thought that was off by default. Do we build it if we can? [07:23] robert_ancell: I guess we should start doing it now, but I'm not sure [07:23] if you can disable it in configure, that's fine as well [07:23] pitti, I will disable now to keep it simple, enable it when we have a need === tkamppeter_ is now known as tkamppeter [07:25] pitti, did I name libpolkit-gtk0 correctly? Or is it libpolkit-gtk-1-0? Very confused with naming scheme... [07:25] robert_ancell: what's the name of the .so? [07:26] libpolkit-gtk-1.so.0.0.0 [07:26] right then it's libpolkit-gtk-1-0 [07:26] it's usually "librarynameSONAME" [07:26] but if libraryname ends with a number, it's "libraryname-SONAME" [07:27] i. e. libc.so.6 -> libc6, but libfoo-1.so.0 -> libfoo-1-0 [07:27] pitti, ok, thanks [07:58] OK, pitti I seem to have everything working, please sponsor bugs 417900, 417899, 416321, 417984.

[08:01] pitti, i gave you the wrong four tabs, ignore the gnome-games one and the pk-gnome one is bug 417985 [08:01] Launchpad bug 417985 in policykit-1-gnome "Update to 0.94" [Wishlist,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/417985 [08:01] ah [08:01] robert_ancell: hm, did you push policykit-1? "No revisions to pull." [08:02] (could be just LP lag) [08:02] pitti, sorry, pushed now [08:02] ok, will upload the lot [08:15] robert_ancell: I'll do a small fix, the *.so should go into -dev [08:15] pitti, ah that explains it, I was confused why libpolkit-gobject didn't have the .so in its install file... [08:18] it's only required for gcc (-lfoo looks for libfoo.so) [08:18] but at runtime it uses the SONAME-versioned file [08:21] robert_ancell: hm, odd that policykit-1-gnome doesn't depend on the new library [08:22] pitti, on libpolkit-gtk? [08:22] right [08:22] perhaps it's just some d-bus shim [08:23] pitti, afaik it is a completely separate library for polkit clients, I was suprised that it is bundled in the polkit-gnome source release as it's not that related [08:23] it only contains a GTK+ unlock button at the moment I think [08:23] * pitti -> breakfast [08:45] good morning evefyone [08:45] s/evefyone/everyone [08:47] hey chrisccoulson, how are you? [08:47] hey pitti - i'm good thanks. and how was your holiday? [08:48] chrisccoulson: excellent, and very relaxing; we bicycled 900 km through Germany and tented, with splendid weather [08:48] 14 days of fresh air are great :) [08:48] fantastic. do you not feel like another holiday after 900km though? ;) [08:52] hey pitti, chrisccoulson! [08:52] * didrocks back from vacation too [08:52] pitti - i see you commented on bug 412555 this morning. have you seen the discussion that bratsche started on desktop-devel-list?

[08:55] * pitti hugs didrocks, enjoyed your vac, too? [08:55] chrisccoulson: will read in a bit, thanks [08:55] great, thanks! very resting (swimming with this hot weather really rocks ;)) and some walk in the moutains :) [08:55] * didrocks hugs pitti back [08:56] pitti: the weather was not too hot for those 900 km? [08:57] didrocks: at some days it was pretty warm (30 degrees), but mostly it was okay [08:57] and while you are on the way you have some wind to cool :) [08:57] indeed ^^ [09:00] robert_ancell: you dropped the system-tools-backends dependency from g-s-t, was that intended? [09:00] changelog says otherwise [09:03] pitti: welcome back! [09:04] hey lool, thanks! [09:09] robert_ancell: I'll re-add the dep [09:13] pitti, thanks, that was a mistake. [09:14] bye all [09:38] pitti - is it possible to stop the retracer from marking newly reported bugs as duplicates of one which was already fixed? We've been getting lots of gnome-settings-daemon crashes in the last couple of weeks with a similar stacktrace to an old (fixed) bug, but all the new reports are being marked as duplicates of that bug, and having their stacktrace's removed [09:39] there is a separate thread of bug reports for the new issue [09:40] chrisccoulson: yes, I can change it in the dup db; do you have the # of the old bug and a "new" one which should become the new master bug? [09:42] pitti - the old one is bug 254671 [09:42] Launchpad bug 254671 in gnome-settings-daemon "gnome-settings-daemon crashed with signal 5 in gdk_x_error()" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/254671 [09:42] and the new one is bug 321041 [09:42] Launchpad bug 321041 in gnome-settings-daemon "gnome-settings-daemon crashed with signal 5 in xkl_process_error()" [Medium,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/321041 [09:43] but the new one doesn't have all of the usual apport information, as it got removed when it was marked as a duplicate [09:43] (although, I do have a stacktrace on the bug report now) [09:43] chrisccoulson: you manually unduped them? They shouldn't have become dupes in the first place, it's a different function [09:43] pitti - someone else has been manually un-duping the new ones which come in [09:44] oh, I see, the stack trace top is just error handling [09:45] yeah - they do actually look very similar, but it seems that there is an upstream bug report on the old one which fixes a very specific issue [09:46] so, i'm not sure they're the same issue, even though the traces look similar [09:47] pitti: another issue with apport > Bug #416106 , seb was saying the retracers were crashing for totem so i filed a bug , or is it a known issue? [09:47] Launchpad bug 416106 in apport "totem-plugin-viewer bugs make the retracers crash" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/416106 [09:47] mac_v: please assign the bug to me, will have a look later [09:47] ok :) [09:50] Chazz: db updated [09:50] pitti - was that aimed at me? ;) [09:50] oops [09:50] pitti, ? [09:50] * pitti should put more attention to IRC [09:50] thanks:) [09:50] Chazz: sorry, tab completion fuzz [09:51] pitti, that's happened to me hundreds of times :P [10:12] hey glatzor! [10:21] http://people.canonical.com/~seb128/versions.html is not being updated is it? [10:21] mvo: can you look at bug 91786 and the branch linked to it? [10:21] Launchpad bug 91786 in compiz "Compiz's Panel shadows show on top of other windows" [Low,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/91786 [10:21] Amaranth: sure, much thanks [10:22] mvo: I created the code with help from onestone_ (thanks, btw) so it should be good :) [10:22] Amaranth: I will upload now (once I resolved some conflicts in my apt merge :) [10:22] yay [10:22] or maybe before, conclict resolving is just no fun :( [10:23] * mvo hugs Amaranth and is happy to see him [10:23] mvo: I was tempted to just merge the branch myself but the gnome-do guys beat into my head that everyone's stuff has to get reviewed first :) [10:23] mvo: hehe, I hope to fix a couple more issues in the near future [10:24] Being unemployed gives you lots of free time for such things :/ [10:24] Amaranth: that great news that you work on the stuff again (the unemployment bit is not that great :((((( [10:24] eh, I knew it was coming so I saved enough to live on for a few months so I'm not too sad about it [10:25] * mvo nods [10:25] mvo: have any other bugs for compiz you think should get fixed asap [10:25] ? [10:25] * mvo looks at the bug list [10:26] mvo: oh, I think the doPoll bug has a fix in git [10:26] Amaranth: one nice feature would be to use protobuf in compiz itself, for the plugins we have it now and it is a nice speed up [10:26] but probably out of scope [10:26] Amaranth: ohhhhh - the doPoll() bug is fixed? woah! [10:26] mvo: upstream is apparently undecided on whether or not to do an 0.8.4 release or just let people use snapshots/cherrypicking [10:27] I can do a snapshot now and see if that is good [10:27] mvo: apparently most of the doPoll crashes on are exit but since exit is usually logout people don't see it until some time into their next login [10:27] but a real release would be cool [10:27] mvo: So what is thought to be the main doPoll crasher should be fixed but it is still unknown if all of those dupes are the same bug or not [10:28] * mvo nods [10:28] in the 0.8 branch I assume? [10:28] mvo: the protobuf still would likely make more sense for the master branch considering how long it'd take to get right [10:28] mvo: actually the bug still existed in master but yeah, it was fixed in both branches [10:34] chrisccoulson: "Last updated: Friday August 14 2009" seems not [10:35] heh, thanks didrocks - i should have spotted the date there really;) [10:36] so, we might be way behind with updates now! i didn't do any while people were on holiday ;) [10:37] chrisccoulson: probably (and GNOME 2.27.91 is due on wednesday. So new tarballs from today) [10:38] chrisccoulson: you still can launch it on your computer :) [10:38] thanks, yeah, i didn't try that yet [10:40] mvo: looks like fixing metacity to let compiz start when compositing enabled would be a good bug to fix [10:47] Amaranth: what bugnumber is this (I'm not on top of things with compiz anymore) [10:47] Amaranth: I ask on #compiz-dev about the release [10:48] would be nice to have one for karmic if that is possible [10:48] bug 178953 [10:48] Launchpad bug 178953 in metacity "Cannot switch to Compiz if Metacity compositor is enabled" [Undecided,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/178953 [10:48] oh, right [10:48] it's actually a bug in metacity and owen suggested a good fix on the upstream bug report [10:56] Amaranth: I merged you branch, just shout when I should upload. otherwise I will wait a bit for more to come :) [11:01] mvo: I suspect you'll be in bed by the time I wake up and get anything else done, if I even have anything by then [11:02] mvo: in compiz, anyway [11:02] I may have a patch for metacity in a minute... [11:03] cool [11:03] yay, metacity fixed [11:04] huh, didn't know that was a bug [11:04] I just assumed that I couldn't have compiz ;) [11:05] Laney: so did asac, his bug is marked as High against compiz because of metacity problems :P [11:06] psh, still didn't enable [11:06] oh well [11:06] Laney: pastebin output of compiz --replace in terminal [11:07] works when I do it like that [11:07] but not from g-a-p [11:08] that should be all the appearance capplet is doing... [11:08] Laney: check your ~/.xsession-errors, see if you can see compiz trying to start (should be at the end) [11:08] it does some jockey stuff [11:08] oh, what is the error g-a-p gives you? [11:09] g-a-p will bail if jockey says you need a blob you don't have or can't get [11:09] It just says "could not enable desktop effects" [11:09] or something like that [11:09] but --replace actually seems ok [11:09] Laney: sounds like a jockey or g-a-p bug then [11:10] even though I have no window switcher [11:10] how can I manually set compiz as my WM then? [11:10] run compiz --replace on login :P [11:11] heh [11:16] Laney - run 'gconftool-2 --set --type string /desktop/sessions/required_components/windowmanager compiz" [11:16] or something like that ;) [11:16] i might have gotten the path wrong [11:16] thanks [11:16] I might not stick with compiz though [11:16] the session stuff has changed at least twice since the last time I looked at it [11:16] it's too intense for me :( [11:16] once on our end, once by having gnome-session rewritten [11:17] * Laney is trying to tone down the bling [11:17] the way we start the window manager is way too complicated [11:18] we patch the upstream gnome-wm script with our own magic, and i'm not too sure what any of it does anymore [11:18] I love how new packages for universe have to have no lintian warnings and such but the metacity package has 2 pages of them :P [11:19] Do as I say, not as I do! [11:19] lol. what are the warnings? [11:19] chrisccoulson: stuff like no manpage [11:20] ah, ok. [11:20] I had to make a worthless manpage for alacarte before it got accepted in universe :P [11:20] yeah, i'm not sure what use a manpage is for a window manager [11:21] help2man to the rescue [11:26] ok, bug 178953 has a branch linked, someone wanna review and upload for me? :) [11:26] Launchpad bug 178953 in metacity "Cannot switch to Compiz if Metacity compositor is enabled" [Undecided,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/178953 [11:26] I also sent the patch upstream via the linked bug report [12:30] Riddell: hey, how's it going? [12:38] hi Keybuk, all sunny here [12:40] Keybuk: able to make a meeting at 17:00? [12:42] Riddell: just saw that in my calendar, what's it about? [12:42] what needs to be done for Kubuntu WRT xsplash [12:43] ArneGoetje: FYI, I'm cleaning up {dapper,gutsy}-proposed on rookery, since we won't update them any more anyway, and space is tight [12:44] Riddell: probably depends a little bit on the design of kdm [12:44] but basically you'd want to start xsplash as one of the first things in whatever equivalent of xinit kdm has [12:44] and then have the kdm greeter equivalent signal to it to go away [12:45] then you'd want to restart xsplash as one of the first things in the equivalent of xsession [12:45] and have the kdm session manager/window manager/etc. signal to it to go away [12:46] Keybuk: we don't want to use xsplash itself since it has a GTK dependency so it's a questions of what we want ksplashx to do [12:46] I guess you'd want it to do the same as xsplash [12:47] it should be very small and lightweight, so it starts *really* fast [12:47] well yes, a GTK dependency is strange for that reason [12:47] the idea is to paint something on the screen while the greeter or session loads, after all [12:47] Keybuk: why is there a delay starting the GDM greeter at all? [12:48] there isn't a "delay" [12:48] it just takes a long time [12:48] 3-5s depending on hardware fwict [12:49] if kdm takes less than a quarter of a second to be ready, then you could skip it entirely and just have a splash for the session login [12:49] (which never takes a quarter of a second :p) [12:49] but I don't remember kdm's greeter being especially fast either [12:49] mm [12:49] Keybuk: is GDM moving from being at S30 ? [12:49] gdm will be started by upstart [12:52] Keybuk: btw, I understand you have a huge pile of upstartization; will that land before FF still? [12:52] pitti: it's always been targeted before Beta [12:52] Keybuk: oh, and hello :) [12:53] hello :-) [12:55] Keybuk: so we want to have KDM upstarted too, have it start ksplashx toot sweet and kill it when the greeter is shown (also if autologin happens), and that should be it (it's already started during session login) [12:55] Riddell: that would be a good plan yeah [12:56] David Barth's team are doing the "Boot Experience" work (ie. xsplash), not me though [12:56] * Keybuk sees his job more as making their hard work obsolete because boot is too fast to *be* an experience [12:56] Keybuk: yep, he mentioned that Aurelien could work on this === Chazz is now known as daBomb|Not-Here === MacSlow is now known as MacSlow|lunch [13:06] hello eveyone !

I can't unlock the settings. [18:36] Ampelbein - did you get the system-tools-backends update too? [18:36] you'll need them both due to the porting to polkit-1 [18:39] chrisccoulson: oh wait a second. yeah, systemtools-backends is up to date, but gnome-system-tools is not. It can't be due to it not being built. [18:40] chrisccoulson: see https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/2.27.3-0ubuntu1 [18:41] chrisccoulson: that's weird, it is DEPWAIT on libpolkit-gtk-1-dev which has been published 8 hours ago. === daBomb|Not-Here is now known as Chazz [19:01] pitti: out of curiosity, what did you do to get the arrow in podsleuth's changelog? === Chazz is now known as daBomb|Not-Here [19:14] hyperair: as the changelog is encoded in UTF-8 one can use → (U+2192) (or any other UTF-8 character) [19:15] hmm [19:15] i see [19:15] * hyperair was thinking more along the lines of a compose key =\ [19:16] in vim it would be ctrl-v u2192 (in insert mode) to get it === rickspencer3 is now known as rickspencer3-afk [19:37] Ampelbein - i wonder if it is because libpolki-gtk-1-dev binary is in universe? [19:37] chrisccoulson: yeah, that's it. geser pointed that out on debian-devel. I only looked at the sourcepackage, which is in main.
