rickspencer3ccheney, how could there be hundreds of files to modify to change one key binding?00:00
robert_ancellpitti, how do you turn lintian on to get the errors in the gnome-games slpit?00:00
ccheneyrickspencer3: its in each module (eg draw) for each language00:00
rickspencer3that's insane00:00
ccheneyrickspencer3: but its only in 75 files because it seems the keybindings are currently poorly localized00:00
ccheneyrickspencer3: yep00:01
rickspencer3ccheney, so how do you know which languages should get changed?00:01
ccheneyshould be able to have it done by tomorrow though00:01
ccheneyall of them, heh00:01
ccheneyluckily its an xml file so is easy to understand what to change00:01
rickspencer3(also, I think it was writer, calc, and impress)00:01
rickspencer3ccheney, ok00:02

TheMusoeeejay: ok found out why the env variable is not being set.00:02
rickspencer3TheMuso, robert_ancell it's team meeting time00:02
robert_ancellready00:02
rickspencer3shall we give TheMuso a couple of minutes to finish what he's working on?00:02
* TheMuso is ready.00:03
rickspencer3I actually got the meeting page updated just now!00:04
TheMusocool00:04
rickspencer3of course, there wasn't much to the meeting00:04
rickspencer3robert_ancell, ready?00:04
robert_ancellyes00:04
rickspencer3ok00:04
rickspencer3so no partner update, kubuntu update, or x update today00:05
ccheneyrickspencer3: btw roughly around beta freeze i'll probably have to take a few days off, moving into a new house00:05
TheMusoccheney: congrats.00:05
ccheneyrickspencer3: ie ~ Sept 3000:05
ccheneyTheMuso: thanks :)00:05
rickspencer3ccheney, ok, so long as F11 is for Full Screen by then00:05
ccheneymoving to an area with much better schools, my soon will be starting pre-k next year00:05
rickspencer3(j/k) ;)00:05
ccheneyrickspencer3: heh yea should work by tomorrow :)00:05
rickspencer3so we talked about two things:00:05
rickspencer31. Pidgin vs. Empathy00:06
rickspencer3you can read the discussion00:06
rickspencer3any thoughts?00:06
* ccheney apologizes for interrupting the eastern meeting, shuts up now00:06
TheMusoEmpathy is pretty much accessible out of the box, however on the orca side, no work has been done yet to make orca play nice with empathy, i.e read most recent messages you are sent, etc. Pidgin still works fine in that regard.00:06
robert_ancellhaven't used either enough to comment00:07
TheMusoi.e orca has functionality to provide  users the ability to use pidgin well, being able to read last sent messages, etc.00:07
rickspencer3ccheney, no problems, you are welcome here :)00:07
c_kornchrisccoulson: thanks for your help about the gconf listeners thingy. I think my patch will make it into karmic :)00:07
rickspencer3TheMuso, do you consider Empathy sufficiently acccessible?00:07
TheMusorickspencer3: Because orca doesn't yet help users make use of empathy, probably not, as users will not necessarily like the fact they have to do some manual work to read their messages.00:08
rickspencer3hmmm00:08
* rickspencer3 adds to cons list00:08
TheMusoIf they were all like me, I'd say yes, but I know they're not. )00:08
rickspencer3TheMuso, ok00:09
rickspencer3in general, I am very inclined to stick with the current Plan of Record00:09
rickspencer3we deliver Empathy on upgrade and new default installs00:09
rickspencer3on upgrade, we leave pidgin in place00:09
rickspencer3note that sabdfl was not at all happy with this last point, but I don't see a better way forward considering where we are in the release cycle00:10
rickspencer3ok, moving on00:10
rickspencer3bugs00:10
rickspencer3note that we have some release targetted bugs, including for alpha 600:10
rickspencer3ok, neither of you do, but if you did, I would be using my ...00:11
rickspencer3amazing management ability to motivate you to fix them asap00:11
TheMusohaha00:11
robert_ancell:)00:11
TheMusoMore fixes from pulseaudio upstrea will be uploaded today, thanks to Daniel Chen.00:11
robert_ancellTheMuso, yay.  My pulse is locking up my system all the time currently00:12
rickspencer3oh fudge, I stomped on robert_ancell's changes00:12
rickspencer3robert_ancell, really? it seems to be working well flately00:12
robert_ancellrickspencer3, it was working ok when it was bad for you.  But the last week it has been terrible for me00:12
rickspencer3robert_ancell, could you please test those pulse changes asap, and let TheMuso know if you still have issues?00:12
robert_ancellrickspencer3, sure00:12
TheMusoThey will likely go up straight after the meeting.00:13
rickspencer3robbiew and jono both reported significant improvements00:13
rickspencer3ok00:13
rickspencer3any other business?00:13
TheMusonot from me.00:13
robert_ancellnope00:13
TheMusorickspencer3: Oh do we know when hext UDS is likely to be?00:13
TheMusonext00:13
rickspencer3TheMuso, yes, the *when* has been settled for quite some time, and is published on the release calendar00:14
rickspencer3if you have trouble finding it, please let me know00:14
TheMusook00:14
rickspencer3the *where* is still up in the air so far as I can tell00:14
rickspencer3but they say "North America"00:14
TheMusook the when is all I needed to know.00:15
rickspencer3robert_ancell, I have some questions about a couple of your bugs00:16
rickspencer31. are you still doing that gdm api thing for ted?00:16
rickspencer32. I saw something about the "user list loads slowly" bug, but wasn't sure what the outcome was00:16
rickspencer3 00:16
robert_ancellrickspencer3, yes, working on finishing that today.  I expect it will be done by the end of the week00:16
robert_ancell2. I made a cache patch for that so there is no delay now00:16
rickspencer3robert_ancell, sweeeet!00:17
rickspencer3do you have a bug # for #2?00:17
robert_ancellbug 40086300:18
ubottuLaunchpad bug 400863 in gdm "ck-history can take a *long* time to run, during which gdm is unusable" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/40086300:18
TheMusorickspencer3: ok nothing set in stone yet, but I'll likely take the first 2 weeks of November off, right before UDS, so I can move into my new place.00:18
rickspencer3TheMuso, uh00:19
rickspencer3well ..00:19
rickspencer3what if there are bugs and such?00:19
rickspencer3will you be at all available if it comes down to it?00:19
rickspencer3robert_ancell, it looks like sabdfl would also like to know what it would take to make GDM load faster00:20

rickspencer3there's never and ideal time to take time off00:21

rickspencer3TheMuso, ok00:21
TheMusoIf not by the middle of the first week.00:22
robert_ancellrickspencer3, the patch means it now is running at the fastest possible.   I think he's asking (how fast could we start if we don't do the expensive user list lookup)00:22
rickspencer3robert_ancell, ok00:22
rickspencer3robert_ancell, is there a bug for more general GDM perf00:22
rickspencer3?00:22

rickspencer3this is great work, and very useful and user visible00:23

pittiGood morning06:45
pittioh, Robert already gone..06:45
hyperairpitti: are power management keys supposed to work in karmic yet?06:46
pittihyperair: "keys"?06:47
hyperairscreen backlight keys, sleep key..06:47
hyperairmy sleep key for some reason is shutting off my screen instead of suspending06:47
pittiah; yes, they should absolutely work06:48
hyperairand my screen backlight keys don't work. backlight can be changed using the screen brightness applet06:48
pittihyperair: can you please follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting and then ubuntu-bug udev?06:48
pittihyperair: please assign the bug to me06:49
hyperairpitti: will do06:49
hyperairpitti: i reached #3 and don't see anything for my brightness keys.06:53
hyperairpitti: also something interesting is that at usplash, prior to keying in my cryptsetup password, the brightness keys work. after that, they don't06:54
pittihyperair: you need step 4 then06:54
hyperairhmm LENOVO LENOVO3000 Y41006:55
didrockshi hyperair, guten Tag pitti06:55
hyperairhello06:55
hyperairpitti: i meant i reached #3 of /usr/share/doc/udev/README.keymap.txt07:00
hyperairpitti: /lib/udev/keymap -i input/event6 isn't seeing the brightness key events07:01
pittihyperair: do you have other input devices which could be relevant? (check sudo lsinput)07:03
pittimany laptops have a "thinkpada extra keys" or "vaio extra keys" device07:03
hyperairwhich package?07:03
hyperairlsinput doesn't exist here =\07:03
pittiinput-utils07:03
hyperairpitti: no other keyboards07:08
pittihyperair: could you try all the other input devices except the obvious ones (like "lid" or "power button")?07:08
hyperairi also did /lib/udev/keymap -i input/eventX for every event* file in /dev/input.07:08
pittiah, ok07:08
hyperairnone of them showed any keycode07:08
pittihyperair: could you try with acpi_listen?07:09
hyperairjust did07:09
hyperairnothing either07:09
pittiok, then it's a kernel bug07:09
hyperairpitti: but even then it's pretty strange that it works at initrd stage07:11
hyperairi mean at usplash07:11
hyperairpitti: orig-keymap doesn't show anything with brightness in it.07:16
pittihyperair: indeed it is; I guess they keys are hardwired to control the brightness, but then it's strange that they are suppressed later on07:16
pittihyperair: or it is a KMS problem; does it work in rescue mode?07:17
pittior just on a VT?07:17
pittithey should still leave key events, though07:17
pitti(for the notifications)07:17
hyperaireh the kernels i compile have KMS compiled in07:17
hyperairnot as a module07:17
hyperairbut the stock kernels have the same problem07:17
pittiOIC; so it doesn't work on VTs either?07:18
hyperairalso, like i mentioned before, at usplash, prior to the password prompt (before mounting root) it works.07:18
hyperairno it doesn't work on VTs07:18
hyperairalso, previously, when i tested it on intrepid (i only had jaunty for a short time so i don't erally remember) the brightness dialog appeared07:19
pittiany chance to try the intrepid or jaunty kernel with karmic?07:19
hyperairhmm i could try07:19
hyperairi don't have them installed any more07:20
hyperairprobably could get it by adding the old deb lines eh..07:20
pittihyperair: just grab the .deb from archive.u.c.07:23
pittigdebi FTW :)07:23
hyperairhaha07:23
hyperairfor now lemme test without modesetting..07:24
hyperairhmm how does one disable modesetting again?07:24
hyperairnevermind. i915.modeset=007:24
hyperairpitti: without modesetting, acpi_listen shows events happening when i press my brightness keys, and they work both in the VT and the desktop07:32
pittihah07:32
hyperairpitti: looks like modesetting screwed up my brightness keys eh?07:32
pittiapparently07:32
pittihyperair: if you boot with "text", i. e. don't start X, do they work or not?07:32
hyperairas in with modesetting, without X?07:33
pittithis should tell us whether it's actually a KMS bug or X's XBACKLIGHT/xrandr stuff screws things up07:33
pittiright07:33
hyperairlemme try07:33
pittibrgb07:34
hyperairpitti: with modesetting, no matter where in the boot process, the keys don't work at all07:42
pittiok, interesting07:49
pittihyperair: I'm afraid this needs upstream's help now; I think the fastest way would be to report a bug at bugs.freedesktop.org against the -intel driver07:49
hyperairhmm okay07:50
pittihyperair: you can also report it in Launchpad, then someone will forward it07:50
hyperairright07:50
pittibut Jesse Barnes is following the upstream bugs, and he's probably the best person to fix these kinds of problems07:50
hyperairah07:51
hyperairjbarnes, right?07:52
pittiright07:56
pittihyperair: please include the versions (linux 2.6.31-rc9, -intel 2.8.1, X.org 1.6.3)07:57
pittiand dmesg and X.org log07:57
hyperairright07:58

didrocks:-)08:17
pittibonjour seb12808:28
seb128hello pitti08:29
mac_vseb128: hi... :) hmm... regarding the txt extensions... why is nautilus not prompting when the video/image formats have exec priv? how is it simply opening the files ? exclusions?08:31
seb128mac_v, explain me how to run a video?08:31
mac_v;)08:32
seb128mac_v, txt files can be scripts08:32
seb128ie things you can run08:32
seb128I fail to see how you want to run images or videos though08:32
mac_vsure it cant be run , no.. my question was ,  how was nautilus detecting these , isnt it by the file types?... also could you see my latest comment , i just wrongly assumed the OP was commenting about vfat and ntfs volumes!08:33
seb128mac_v, detecting what? text file?08:34
mac_vthat the mpg/mp3/jpg cannot be run08:34
seb128the question makes no sense to me08:34
seb128those formats have no run concept08:35
mac_vhrm.. :(08:35
seb128they are meant to be played08:35
seb128nautilus know the file formats, it needs to to display icons08:35
seb128the question only happens on text files08:35
seb128texts are a special case since they can be edited or run when set +x08:36
seb128that's the only format in this case08:36
mac_vah... so it detects them while assigning icons...08:36
seb128binaries can't be edited in a text editor08:36
seb128videos either08:36
seb128well, it look to the directory content to display it yes08:36
seb128otherwise it would not know what to display ...08:36
mac_vseb128: yeah... i thought that nautilus first looks for the exec priv and then executes the files08:37
seb128session restart brb08:37

chrisccoulsonpitti - have you seen any gnome-session / g-p-m crashes recently that look dk-power related? i've seen a couple of people report simultaneous crashes of both when unplugging USB devices, and kklimonda got some good backtraces last night of the actual crash and also a critical message that occurs just before the crash too09:02

chrisccoulsonpitti - thanks. there is also an equivalent g-p-m bug that occurs at the exact same time, and they both look the same09:03
=== tkamppeter_ is now known as tkamppeter
pittichrisccoulson: hm, I don't see xsession-errors there?09:05
pittichrisccoulson: ah, too bad that devkit-power-dbgsym wasn't installed for http://launchpadlibrarian.net/31510719/gnome-session.gdb.log09:06
pittichrisccoulson: perhaps dkp_device_get_object_path() returns NULL because the device was just yanked out and doesn't exist any more?09:06
chrisccoulsonpitti - yeah, i only saw xsession-errors in pastebin last night, but the error was why i asked him to run gnome-session with G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals for the second backtrace09:06
chrisccoulsonbut there still seems to be enough info there09:06
chrisccoulsonpitti - yes, that's what it looks like09:06
pittiSegvReason: reading NULL VMA09:07
chrisccoulsonthe trace of the crash suggests that anyway, as it's passing NULL to g_hash_table_remove09:07
chrisccoulsonand the critical message would cause dkp_device_get_object_path to return NULL too09:08
pittihm, so if it's storing the object paths, it's hard to remove the correct one if it doesn't exist any more09:08
pittiudev does preserve the sysfs path and properties for a removal event, though09:09
pittibut if that's passed on as an asynchronous event through dk-p, then you'd get that race presumably09:09
chrisccoulsonthat's wierd actually. it looks up the DkpClient from a local hash table, using the object_path. so, there should be no race09:10
chrisccoulsonit would suggest that the device was never added to the hash table perhaps?09:10
chrisccoulsond'oh09:10
chrisccoulsons/DkpClient/DkpDevice09:10
pittiah, perhaps; it was said to be a mouse09:10
pittiperhaps they get filtered out when adding09:11
chrisccoulsonpossibly09:11
pittianyway, this is just wild speculation09:11
* pitti unplugs/replugs usb mouse a couple of times09:11
chrisccoulsondkp_device_removed_cb looks wrong actually. it looks like the g_hash_table_remove should happen conditionally based on the "if (device != NULL)"09:12
chrisccoulsonalmost like it's missing some curly braces;)09:12
pittithat's an obvious workaround, but we should check if that situation is actually legal09:12
pittihm, 4 replugs, no crash09:12
chrisccoulsonpitti - yeah. it would be interesting to see what happens when the device is added. if it is ignored and not added to the hash table, then that would probably be the fix;)09:13
pittiright09:13
pittinothing in devkit-power --monitor-detail for me09:13
chrisccoulsonstrange. anyway, do you want me to reassign this to dk-power for now? (it doesn't look like anything gnome-session is responsible for)09:14
pittiright, please do09:14
pittiand the g-p-m bug as a dupe then?09:14
chrisccoulsonpitti - yeah, if i can find it. i'm struggling with LP this morning - not sure if its my connection or not09:16
pittiworks fine here09:16
pittichrisccoulson: thanks for the investigatinos09:16
chrisccoulsonyou're welcome09:17
chrisccoulsonkklimonda - i can't find the g-p-m bug you reported last night now. would you be able to mark it as a duplicate of bug 426501 please?09:22

pittichrisccoulson: hm, I get timeouts on edge, too09:34
chrisccoulsonpitti - yeah, i just disabled redirection for now and it works ok09:34
chrisccoulsonpitti - does dk-power have a utility for monitoring what happens when you plug/unplug devices, or is it best just to use "dbus-monitor --system"09:36
pittichrisccoulson: devkit-power --verbose --monitor-detail09:37
pittichrisccoulson: but this will only show you relevant events, like power chords or batteries09:37
pittiit doesn't say anything about e. g. an usb mouse09:37
pitti(and it shouldn't really)09:37
pittiideally it wouldn't even wake up on those events09:37
chrisccoulsonpitti - thanks. the output of that might be useful for that bug report, just in case something wierd is happening. i had a look at the code for devkit-power-gobject, and every added device is added to the hash table09:38
pittiuh, why would it want to track all devices?09:39
chrisccoulsonpitti - it only tracks the devices enumerated by the dk-power daemon09:39
chrisccoulsonbut i'm just confused that this device which causes the crash doesn't appear to be tracked at the point it is removed09:40

chrisccoulsonpitti - i would think so. i've not looked at any code for the daemon just yet though09:41

mac_vseb128:  for the .txt bug ... the exec mounting is due to ntfs-3g , right? i'm thinking of assigning the also affect to ntfs-3g10:45
seb128vuntz, grr, I have an user copy10:45
seb128no that was not that10:45
mac_vor gvfs?10:46
seb128mac_v, ask pitti he might know10:46
mac_vpitti: hi... any idea why windows filesystems mount as exec? or why they shouldnt be mounted as noexecby default ?10:46
seb128mac_v, but vfat has the same issue, that's a rather a fs limition than a bug10:46
mac_vhm , yeah10:47
pittimac_v: in some earlier releases we in fact did that10:47
mac_vwhy did we change?10:47
pittibut then you couldn't execute anything, including .exe files (wine/Mono) or .desktop files10:48
pittimac_v: well, it's just the upstream default10:48
mac_vpitti: and which package is involved?10:48
pittimac_v: but shouldn't it ask you whether to run or open it?10:48
pittimac_v: gvfs and devicekit-disks (the latter mainly)10:48
seb128pitti, that's the issue, they don't like this dialog and want to get ride of it10:48
pittibut it's hard to do the right thing wrt. mounting with fat/ntfs10:49
mac_vyeah... it asks, but it is redundant for .txt files created in windows10:49
pittiso perhaps with .txt there should be a gvfs-layer workaround to not run it10:49
pittii. e. always open .txt with an editor, and always run .sh10:49
pittiseb128: "they" -> upstream or an ubuntu bug?10:50
seb128pitti, what is there is no .txt but the file is purely text10:50

ubottuLaunchpad bug 425166 in nautilus "Nautilus *.txt file behaviour" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/42516610:50
seb128well is the issue purely for things named ".txt"?10:50
seb128or for any text file10:50
seb128because you will get the same issue with let's say README10:50
pittiseb128: can nautlus/gvfs look into the file, or just look at file metadata?10:51
seb128or TODO10:51
seb128or NOTES10:51
seb128or whatever10:51
mac_vseb128: windows only uses txt10:51
seb128mac_v, you say you will never have a README in a win disk?10:51
seb128I think you are overlooking the issue...10:51
mac_vhehe ;)10:51
mac_vyeah , forgot that10:51
seb128pitti, what do you want to look for?10:52
seb128the issue is to know if a text file +x is a script or not10:52
pittiseb128: it could perhaps run file on it, or check for ELF/ #! or so10:52
seb128we have some magic for it but it's not perfect10:52
seb128imho we should have specific buggy cases to look at those10:52
mac_vpitti: seb128: rather than simply working around that bug , it is better to fix it properly , even if it is not a papercut10:52
seb128because the current discussions are a bit fuzzy there10:52
pittiscripts always need to start with #!, but of course we also need to detect compiled binaries10:52
pittimac_v: sure, we are just discussing this10:53
mac_v:)10:53
pittifrom an Unixish POV, an executable bit means it's executable, even if it's broken10:53
pittibut we can't really enforce that for FSes which are incompatible with Unix, like vfat or ntfs10:53
pittiso the only other proper thing which comes to my mind is to look at the file10:54
seb128pitright10:54
seb128ups10:54
seb128pitti, right10:54
seb128then we list to build a descriptive list of mimetypes to run10:54
seb128ie no only sh scripts10:54
seb128but also perl, python, etc10:55
seb128those are text files that can be run too10:55
pittiseb128: right, but they all need to start with #!10:55
seb128that would need a new mimetype in shared-mime-info I guess10:56
seb128and change all the scripts format to subclass this one10:56
seb128the way it works now is that nautilus uses glib mimetype detection10:56
pittiapplication-x-executable ?10:56
seb128I wouldn't like to add nautilus api to read the file a second time only to see if it starts with !#10:57
pitti*nod*10:57
pittithere's also a text-x-script type10:57
seb128python does10:57
seb128    <sub-class-of type='application/x-executable'/>10:57
seb128the issue is that "start with #!" is not enough10:58
seb128looking to shared-mime-info there is quite some format doing that but which are not scripts10:58
seb128we need to filter things out if we do that10:58
pittihm, but everything that is executable and starts with #! can be run10:58
seb128no10:58
pittiyou are saying that there are non-scripts file formats which start with #!?10:59
seb128  <mime-type type="message/rfc822">10:59
seb128    <magic priority="50">10:59
seb128      <match value="#! rnews" type="string" offset="0"/>10:59
seb128that stored on a vfat disk would be +x10:59
mac_vpitti: what about  exec files which dont start with #! ,10:59
seb128and that's not an executable10:59
mac_vi use them as launchers and stuff10:59
pittimac_v: see above10:59
pittiseb128: yay :-(11:00
seb128  <mime-type type="audio/AMR">11:00
seb128    <magic priority="50">11:00
seb128      <match value="#!AMR\n" type="string" offset="0"/>11:00
seb128too for example11:00
pitti'#!(.*)' && test -x $111:00
pitti?11:00
seb128I think we could use application/x-executable11:00
pittii. e. check that the interpreter actually exists?11:01
seb128and make sure that all script mimetype subclass it correctly11:01
pittiseb128: right, that avoids false positives11:01
pittisafer approach11:02
seb128in any case the patch on this bug to change the default gconf key is not a good solution11:02
mac_v+111:02
pitti*nod*, this shouldn't be configurable IMHO11:03

mvompt: so https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareStore?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=1.0-department-search.jpg shows that when a search is done the category name is in the navigation bar (and should not be "search in $category" - isn't that helpful for people who do not have a good mental model of where they are ? especially when e.g. switching between available and installed so that they see after the switch that they are not actually looking at14:53

slomoseb128: oh, that's scary, yes :) oct 19th, first pre-releases will be oct 5th/6th14:55
mptmvo, that's shown by (1) the presence of the text in the search field, and (2) the "___ matching items" in the status bar. If it turns out not to be enough, we can add something extra to the main pane for 2.0, e.g. a "Search results" treeview header.14:58
mvompt: I would be interessted to see user testing on this, I got confused myself for not paying attention to the search field (that it was still on). the "search in"  seems like a simple way to make it more obvious14:59
seb128slomo, that's late, I would like to get the change backported so we get the issue fixed in 2.28 and karmic beta14:59
seb128slomo, if you don't want to do it for debian that's fine I will do an ubuntu change14:59
slomoseb128: problem is, if i want to backport that change i should also backport many other changes that are of same importance or even more important... and that's too much work ;)15:01

pittiyay, fading usplash15:06
slomoseb128: except the broken easy codec installation but if you want to backport the patch for that you might have a lot of fun... i'm currently rewriting decodebin2 (that thing that searches and connects the required plugins for decoding) for fixing this...15:06
seb128slomo, right, that one is one my list too but I figured I would wait since you were still fixing issues15:07
seb128slomo, what are the chance to get fixing in the next month?15:07

mvompt: what should happen to any search if "get free software" is clicked? clear the search?15:08
mvompt: (same for installed software)15:08
mptmvo, yes, clear the search15:09
mvompt: re https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareStore#Searching from the lobby - if the user starts from the lobby, searches firefox, clicks on firefox details and goes back to "Get Free Software" (in the [Get free software][firefix] navigation. should that clear the search as well? and if not, what is the way for the user to go back to all apps? by clicking on the clear icon in the search?15:25
mptmvo, yes, clicking any item in the path button, other than the last one, should clear the search15:27
* mpt wonders if clicking the last one should clear the search too15:27
mptI guess that would make sense15:28
mvompt: just to be clear I get this right - the user searches fire and gets 5 results, he clicks on firefox and when he clicks on "Get Free Software" again he does not get his search results but instead is returned to the lobby screen with the search cleared?15:29
mptmvo, hm, you're right15:29
mptthe search results should remain, then15:29
mptSo, the way to go back to all applications in a category is to clear the search field15:29
mvothis might be a useful case where the "search in button" is handy, I'm not sure clicking on clear search is obvious15:31

rugby471hehe16:31

* mpt is also working in half-darkness because the latest Karmic updates broke the Xorg brightness setting16:33
rugby471hehe16:34
pittimpt: could you try to boot an older kernel in grub and see whether this was the reason for the brightness breakage?16:38
mptpitti, ok16:39
pittimpt: pressing shift during boot should give you the menu16:39
rugby471oops too late :-)16:41
mptpitti, in 2.6.31-9 the display is much brighter, but the brightness is still unchangable.16:42
mpt(as in, the brightness applet reports "Cannot get laptop panel brightness" and the keyboard keys don't do anything.)16:43

mptpitti, yes, it works in 9.0416:46
mvompt: could you please check if #425816 is still a problem with current bzr (r210) ?16:49
pittimpt: I doubt it's a hotkey issue, since it worked in 9.04 and g-p-m complains about not being able to read the brightness, so it sounds like a kernel regression :-(16:50
mptmvo, that's been fixed since the first revision you showed me this morning, I think :-)16:52

rugby471ccheney: what is the F11 change?17:50
mac_vccheney: lol17:50
mac_vccheney: why not switch " Shift-F12 is ungroup and shift-F3 "17:51
mac_v?17:51
ccheneymac_v: F-key mappings are sets eg F11 (regular, shift, alt, shift+alt) all do style related things17:53
ccheneyF12 does group and shift-F12 does ungroup, just moving group to F3 doesn't work well because Shift-F3 is used so you can't move shift-f12 ungroup to it17:53
mac_vhrm...17:54
ccheneyso by rearranging all the keybindings you aren't keeping related things on the same key17:54
* mac_v ducks , this mess17:54
mac_v;p17:54
ccheneyrickspencer3: ping ^17:54
rickspencer3ccheney, right17:54
ccheneyyea, upstream could potentially fix this, but they might not even want to try since it causes a huge reorg of all the mappings (most likely)17:55
rickspencer3this is why we should have started this long ago17:55
ccheneyi can just free up F11 but if done it won't really work well from a user perspective17:55
rickspencer3ccheney, so what you suggest?17:55
ccheneyi dunno17:56
ccheneywe do have a upstream bug already for it and aiui its been forwarded to the ui team at OOo, but i don't know the status on the list17:56
ccheneyalso just changing the keybindings doesn't change all the documentation telling you which keys to use by default17:56
cassidyseb128: seems http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-base/commit/?id=058776bcf1ab218b509d19685a0b528d71c65f98 would be good to have. It improves audio conferencing17:56

ccheneyrickspencer3: what do you think i should do for the keybinding issue?18:05
rickspencer3ccheney, let me think18:08
rickspencer3I think that group and ungroup by keybinind is probably less of common scenario than a netbook user trying to see the whole screen18:09
slomoseb128: of course that will mean that automatic codec installation will only be fixed in 0.10.26 ;)18:09
ccheneyrickspencer3: david siegel thinks it probably doesn't qualify as a papercut anymore due to the extent of change18:10

chrisccoulsonthen when it is removed the second time, the DeviceRemoved signal triggers the crash in both gnome-session and g-p-m18:12
rickspencer3ccheney, dang it18:12
rickspencer3:/18:12
chrisccoulsoni meant to say "DeviceRemoved when it is disconnected". d'oh18:12
ccheneyrickspencer3: probably not very easily, but i'm not certain18:12
ccheneyreading the OOo ux list annoys me, they don't seem to care about system standard keybindings for apps at all :-\18:16
ccheneyas far as i can tell F11 is supposedly the standard for Win/Gnome/KDE but they refuse to use it properly18:17
rickspencer3ccheney, it seems that when you modify your keybindings in OOo, it creates a new little file that you can move around18:19
rickspencer3could we not simply make such an extra little file, call it "ubuntu keyboard short cuts" and drop it in the right place?18:20
ccheneythe right place being the users .openoffice.org dir ?18:21

mptmvo, can you switch to larger icons for the departments? Like, at least twice as large?21:43
mvompt: not easily, the sound and video icon is only available as 24px21:43
kenvandinestatik, oh... i don't know of a bug to keep it from starting21:43

mptmvo, exactly, I changed it to 48 and Games gave me 96-ish21:45
statikkenvandine: the xulrunner thing might be a red herring. xulrunner is what has the spidermonkey javascript engine in it, so it's hard to say for sure without getting some more details. i'd like the couchdb to not start until the user starts evolution or firefox or somethign though21:45

mptmvo, so I just asked the editor of the W3C CSS3 Text module, :-P and the reason the ellipsis didn't work the way we want is that it's not implemented yet22:03

mptmvo, the reason I was asking about the icon size for the applications is that applications that have only tiny icons (e.g. ACM Aerial Combat Simulator) are getting theirs blown up jaggily, whereas applications that have beautiful scalable icons (e.g. Inkscape) are looking scratchy22:10
=== rickspencer3-afk is now known as rickspencer3
mvompt: inkscape looks ok here - what should we do aobut the size? show them all bigger? or try to figure it out based on the icon size?22:13
mptmvo, I thought it would be nice to show applications that have a scalable icon at 128*128, while those that don't end up with their largest icon centered in a 128*128 square22:15
mptmvo, that would be a subtle nudge to application developers to get themselves scalable icons22:15

mvompt_: I think we are done for now, I will look at a issue in the JS next, if that is fixed I upload 0.3.022:39
mvo(and go to bed)22:39
mvompt_: thanks for the css, that was a very valuable help22:39
seb128mvo, bou22:41
mvoseb128: *wehh*22:42
seb128mvo, I got the "you should reboot" dialog again while update-manager was still running22:42
mpt_mvo, and thank you for working so hard on this and fixing so many of the bugs22:42
mvoseb128: I was able to reproduce that here too, happens on a partial upgrade, right?22:42
seb128it's asking me if I want to clean up now22:42
seb128mvo, it happens when I click on dist-upgrade sort of button it shows me on start22:42
seb128ie when things need to be installed and cleaned22:43
seb128I never know how you call that ;-)22:43
mvoseb128: yeah, I was able to reproduce that22:43
seb128dist-upgrader?22:43
mvopartial upgrader22:43
seb128or is the dist-upgrader only distro to new distro?22:43
seb128ok22:43
seb128so you don't need extra infos I guess, I can click on clean?22:43
mvoseb128: yeah, I know the problem, I just not got around to fix it yet :(22:44
mpt_mvo, what do you think are the odds of getting an exception tomorrow/Friday for the path button code? It doesn't affect any documentation. The only thing it would affect would be non-thumbnail-sized screenshots.22:45
seb128mvo, ok, cool22:45
mvompt_: well, the code is of unknown quality (also it looks nice) - and needs to get integrated22:47
djsiegel___seb128 mpt, do either of you know why the only nautilus toolbar icons with labels are Back and Forward -- probably the two toolbar buttons that need labels the least?23:02
seb128no idea23:03
djsiegel___hmmm23:03
djsiegel___seb128: think we should turn them off?23:04
djsiegel___remove the Back and Forward labels?23:04
djsiegel___I think that would be an improvement over the current situation23:04
djsiegel___besides, the margins are weird and the labels touch the icons23:04
seb128you mean change the flag which makes those being display when setting text beside icons23:04
djsiegel___yes23:04
seb128since we don't set that option by default that probably doesn't confuse many users23:05
djsiegel___we don't?23:05
seb128I'm fine changing it but I would rather see that done upstream to avoid having distro changes there23:05
seb128no we don't23:05
djsiegel___it's turned on in Karmic now23:05
djsiegel___are we going back?23:05
djsiegel___to text under icons?23:06
seb128oh, right, GNOME pushed that in the same time as the no icon in menus for testing23:06
seb128I've no strong opinion23:06
djsiegel___hmm23:07
seb128I though mpt was against text beside icons because apps don't behave correctly23:07
djsiegel___right23:07
seb128well I will let you guys decide on whether applications behave enough in karmic or not23:07
seb128I'm fine changing nautilus but as said that should go upstream, the change would be quick to do but every change we carry is extra work for every update we do23:08
seb128and has a non null cost over time23:08
djsiegel___of course23:09
andreasndjsiegel___, I think those are marked as "important", ie, the logic is bigger hit targets23:09
djsiegel___I see23:09
djsiegel___mpt_, any word on text beside vs below icons?23:09
rickspencer3if (cost != NULL) throw new PlanningException("Out of resources");23:11
mpt_djsiegel___, I think text beside icons looks ugly in toolbars. I have no idea whether "apps behave correctly"23:12
djsiegel___mpt_: I don't think they do behave correctly :)23:12
mpt_well, gosh darn it23:13
=== rickspencer3 is now known as rickspencer3-afk
rickspencer3-afklooks like seb128 bot crashed when I threw that exception23:13
rickspencer3-afklooks like a sentry thread restarted seb12823:14
rickspencer3-afk;)23:14
mpt_djsiegel___, I think (1) applications should choose text-under-icons or no-text-at-all based on what's most suitable for the individual application, (2) the global setting for toolbar text should be abolished, and (3) all themes should use a smaller font size for toolbar button labels than they do for other text.23:14
seb128hehe23:14
djsiegel___mpt_: yes23:14

* mpt_ wonders what happened to the necessary gnome-panel changes for the Store23:32
seb128what gnome-panel changes?23:33

seb128is somebody supposed to work on that? I can have a look otherwise23:34
seb128I read the bug but since software-store is in universe atm I have that on the bottom of my todolist23:35
