mpt_robert_ancell, hi, any progress on the PolicyKit modality bug?00:12
robert_ancellmpt_, no, I've just shelved it at the moment (bug 423454) due to other priorities.  Note that upstream wont accept any UI changes until 2.2900:13

robert_ancellmpt_, I did some work on it but the UI is hard-coded which makes it a bit tricky :(00:14
mpt_robert_ancell, sorry, I meant the bug where the alert isn't made properly modal to the parent window (e.g. the Software Store window)00:14
robert_ancellmpt_, oh the compiz bug.  No progress yet but it is on my radar00:14

pittihey robert_ancell08:08
pittirobert_ancell: I suppose it's the upstream build system08:10
pittiDEB_DH_FIXPERMS_ARGS := -X/usr/games08:10
pittidebian/rules doesn't set them, just sets this ^ so that dh_fixperms doesn't override them08:10
robert_ancellpitti, no, I checked, the upstream perms are set fine.  And they're fine in the debian/tmp directory too08:11
pittirobert_ancell: so I guess debian/rules just needs a binary-postinstal rule to chmod u+g debian/*/usr/games/* or so08:11
robert_ancellpitti, yeah I wanted to avoid that though - what is changing them and why??08:12
pittirobert_ancell: uh, weird; so debian/tmp/ has 2755, and debian/<game> has 2555?08:12
pittirobert_ancell: hm, I don't see what could cause this; anyway, the 2555 isn't the worst thing here08:12
mvohey robert_ancell - sorry that I have not taken on compiz yet, I was busy with the UI freeze deadline08:13
pittiif you fix the Architecture: and the missing executables from teh package, then it's at least working08:13
mvorobert_ancell: I put it on my list for today08:13
robert_ancellpitti, I got debian/tmp has 2755, debian/game has 755, .deb has 55508:13
pittirobert_ancell: hm, they had 2555 in the .debs when I built it08:13
pittiI guess it wants to be setgid games to write global highscores?08:14
robert_ancellpitti, sorry, you're right08:14
robert_ancellyes08:14
robert_ancellmvo, no prob08:14
pittirobert_ancell: well, *shrug*, don't waste time on that one for now; 2555 at least works08:14
robert_ancellpitti, ok08:15
robert_ancellpitti, the arch thing is not a bug, the gnome-freecell package just contains a .desktop file and executed aisleriot (which it depends on)08:15
pittioh08:15
pittiI thought it was suposed to contain /usr/bin/sol08:15
robert_ancellno, it just runs sol --freecell08:16
pittiok, that looked strange08:16
pittirobert_ancell: I wonder whether it actually makes sense to have a separate package for it then, though08:17
robert_ancellpitti, it could be part of the aisleriot package.  I guess from the users perspective they are logically distinct though08:18
pittiok08:18
robert_ancellpitti, I merged the freecell files into aisleriot - gnome-games is ready for sponsorship again :)08:26

robert_ancellhey seb12808:27
seb128how are you?08:27
pittirobert_ancell: ah, cool; please set the bug back to new then08:27
pittibonjour seb12808:27
pittirobert_ancell: oh, btw, you had a question wrt. lintian installation yesterday, but you were offline when I came in08:28
pittirobert_ancell: settled now, or still need anything?08:28
robert_ancellpitti, I didn't have it installed - once installed bzr-buildpackage uses it automatically - very helpful08:28
pittiright08:28
pittiit's actually "debuild" which calls it08:28
robert_ancellso many layers :)08:29
seb128pitti, re pidgin cleaning, I think we should adress the log migration and the registered session issue before suggesting to clean it08:34
seb128otherwise we give the feeling to the user that there is a drop in replacement but the said change will drop all the log history for example08:35
seb128and if some user have pidgin in their session they will have no im started and an error message08:35
pittihm; the logs won't go away08:35
seb128same difference08:35
pittiseb128: well, as I said in the bug, this shouldn't be announced as "cruft which you should purge"08:35
seb128users will never go to .dir/cache/log to browse those08:36
pittimore like "you have two instant message programs installed, woudl you like to remove one of it" or so08:36
seb128my gut feeling is that user who do cruft cleaning run it and click ok without reading08:36
pittiit's confusing to have two in the menu all of a sudden08:36
seb128hum, maybe we should really stay on pidgin08:37

didrocksseb128: ahah :-)08:47
mvosorry, software-store08:47
seb128mvo, yes08:47
mvook08:47
seb128mvo, does dist-upgrader does some janitoring08:47
mvoseb128: yes it does, but its only a subset of what the janitor is doing08:50
mvothere is a certain overlap but in general u-m has a much better idea about obsolete stuff08:50
mvoseb128: so we want to ensure that the u-m keeps its hands of pidgin?08:50
seb128I'm not sure what pitti what to do exactly08:52
seb128pitti, ^ can you clarify?08:52
seb128if we don't want to migrate upgrading users it doesn't really make sense to clean it on upgrade, not sure when the janitor is used otherwise08:52
pittire08:52
pittiseb128: python-apt> you could run a local version with LD_LIBRARY_PATH, like in the retracers?08:53
pittiseb128: I don't want to auto-migrate people from pidgin to empathy08:53
pittiI just want to have a place that tells you why you suddenly have two IMs, and pick the one you run/want08:54
mvojust to clarify, this is not commited yet to computer-janitor, right?08:54
pittifor karmic+1 we can re-visit whether it's then an appropriate time to move pidgin to universe and have update-manager do it's auto-removal, but we aren't there yet (as discussed)08:54
pittimvo: right08:54
mvoI don't think there is a risk of u-m cleaning it if we do not want this08:54
pittimvo: pidgin will stay in main for karmic08:55
pittiso u-m shouldn't propose cleanup08:55
mvook08:55
mvothat should be easy, a plugin for c-j that is just not part of u-m but only of c-j (u-m has only a subset of the plugins)08:55
mvohas liw agreed on writing it already? should be pretty trivial to do08:56
seb128pitti, well, python-apt ... new version would require a new libapt version too?08:56
seb128I'm still unclear about this janitor thing08:56
seb128I've the feeling that users go there and click on "clean" without reading details08:56
pittiseb128: oh, I thought it just needs to match the installed libapt? or is it libapt which is h4x0red on rookery?08:56

pittichrisccoulson: thanks!08:59
seb128pitti, should we try to be smart on configured sessions, ie users running it?08:59

chrisccoulsoni've not looked at anything to do with trackpads, but the bugs about left hand mouse not working might be due to http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gnome-settings-daemon/commit/?id=a5c3c61908662f50ece15a3e890a0a3b493f679909:57

ubottuLaunchpad bug 427279 in software-store "Application icon is boring" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/42727911:21
seb128mpt, mvo: looking at the gnome-panel changes, should we still list gnome-app-install in the applications menu?11:45
seb128mac_v, mpt: any opinion on the workspace naming? GNOME names those "workspace" by default and we change to desk currently11:47
seb128but the change introduce some bugs and inconsistency with the documentation11:47
seb128I'm wondering if that's a delta worth having11:47
chrisccoulsonheh, there's already enough delta in our gnome-panel pacakge ;)11:51
seb128chrisccoulson, I'm looking at cleaning some ;-)11:52
mac_vseb128 , mpt:  IMO , "workspace" is better than desk , since metacity also references them as "workspace" would be easier for users to recognize11:53
seb128ok11:54
seb128let's drop the change if it's not required ;-)11:54
mptseb128, the Store is intended to replace gnome-app-install. But I think it would be reasonable to leave the gnome-app-install special positioning in gnome-panel, in case anyone decides they want to switch back while running 9.10.11:56
seb128mpt, ok, thanks11:56
mptseb128, why did we change to "desk" in the first place?11:56
seb128mpt, I think that's one of the changes sabdfl suggested for a cleaner desktop in dapper11:57
seb128I think the rational was "it's easier to understand what a desk is"11:58
mptÓ©_Ó©11:58
mac_vpeople have gotten more accustomed to "workspace" by now ;p11:59
mptIt may be true that it's easier to understand what a desk is11:59
seb128if you guys don't make a strong point for desk I'm going to go back to what upstream is doing11:59
seb128that will fix bugs and make documentation consistent11:59
mptI don't really care tbh12:00
seb128ok thanks12:00
mptI don't think it's a strong enough change to be worth breaking help pages etc12:00
seb128right, that's what I think too12:00
seb128especially that it creates bugs12:00
seb128ie when adding extra desks they are named workspace right now12:00
seb128I was pondering trying to fix that or just lower delta and go with what upstream do12:01
seb128I will go with the upstream naming12:01
mac_vyeah , ex: keyboard shortcuts ... we need to pick one and be consistent everywhere , but easier to *not* change this from the upstream version ;)12:01
mac_vmpt , mvo: is the software store intended to only show 3 departments in 1 row? is it a spec or.. ?12:06
seb128mac_v, bug #8949 ... should that be un-paperpercuted?12:07
ubottuLaunchpad bug 8949 in hundredpapercuts "Opening a deleted 'recent document' results in a new file." [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/894912:07

seb128mvo, pitti: any though about what to do with bug #422568?12:09
ubottuLaunchpad bug 422568 in gnome-panel "could not find glade file '/usr/share/gnome-panel/glade/clock.glade'" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/42256812:09
seb128the issue is the glade to gtkbuilder changes, they will break things until session restart12:09
seb128should we try to workaround that? just say that distro upgrades need restart anyway? document it?12:10
mac_vseb128: i think so too , but david had it confirmed and assigned , so i'v assigned it to him to invalidate it12:10
seb128mac_v, ok, I will ping him when he's around12:10
pittiseb128: hm, I don't understand that12:10
mvoseb128: couldn't we load the glade (or reference it) early?12:10
pittiseb128: if it's crashing and restarting, it should use the new glade-less code surely?12:10
mvoseb128: so that even if it gets removed on disk, a refernce is still around?12:10
seb128pitti, it's not crashing, it just displays an error saying it doesn't find the .glade12:10
mac_vmpt: causes scrolling here > http://imagebin.ca/view/NhKL8qZ7.html12:10
seb128when trying to open the run application dialog for example12:11
pittihm, it says "restarts over and over"12:11
seb128that's another issue12:11
seb128the title is the bug12:11
mac_vmpt: thats with the latest updates , Software Store 0.2.212:11
seb128sorry I didn't read the description again12:11
seb128it doesn't crash but displays the error when trying to open dialogs using glade12:11
mptmac_v, so mvo needs to make the window a liiiiiiitle bit wider by default :-)12:12
seb128mvo, hum, that would mean changing the jaunty version now in a non trivial way?12:12
pittiseb128: I wouldn't waste too much time on it, but if it's easy to do, maybe we can just make the panel exit if it detects this, so that it restarts properly?12:12
mac_vmvo: yeah , pls see mpt's comment ^12:12
seb128what we could so is ship the .glade files still but that's a workaround12:12
seb128ok, so12:12
seb128- do nothing and ask for session restart after dist-upgrade12:12
pittiseb128: we would have to do this until karmic+1, though, which would be a burden12:12
seb128- make gnome-panel exit12:12
seb128- ship glades files in the new packages just for that12:13
mac_vmvo: or do you want a bug filed for this >  http://imagebin.ca/view/NhKL8qZ7.html12:13
mvoseb128: I guess12:13
pittiseb128: (1) will happen pretty much automatically for jaunty upgrades, so it's good to have12:13
mvompt: sure, I can make it wider12:13
seb128ok12:13
pittiseb128: (2) as I said, only if it's a single-line patch which we can drop in karmic+212:13
pittiI don't personally like (3), do you?12:13
seb128I guess I will put that at the bottom of my todolist and assume that dist-upgrade need restarts anyway12:13
seb128pitti, I don't either12:14
seb128I would be for (1)12:14
pittiseb128: yes, if for nothign else, the reboot will be triggered for the new kernel12:14

mac_vmpt: mvo: the "installed" emblem is getting cut in the apps list , couldnt this be moved to the right > http://imagebin.ca/view/vLfBje.html , the right side is totally empty .... while the app description retains the emblem on the app icon itself?12:18
mvomac_v: size change commited12:20
mac_voh ,ok... hm... right side would be nice too ;) wont keep the window even more empty when the window size is increased12:21
mac_vmpt: your thoughts on moving the emblem to the right?12:24
mptmac_v, it should be in the same place and size, relative to the application icon, wherever it appears12:25
mptmac_v, so it just needs to be raised a couple of pixels (and possibly shrunken a bit) in that list12:25
mptmac_v, also, why is "Calculator" showing up in that list without the emblem? Is it installed (in which case it should have the emblem), or not installed (in which case it shouldn't be there at all)?12:26
mac_vmpt: hm... ok , but the right side emptiness is a bit off to me  ;)12:26
* mac_v checks12:26
mptmac_v, in future maybe we'll have a "Date Installed" column there12:27
mac_voh , thats nice \o/12:27
mptthanks mvo12:27
mac_vmpt: i think the calculator is due to jaunty reading or something... not sure , i dual boot jaunty and karmic , so that maybe causing this12:31
mac_vmaybe due to the jaunty repo i have or... meh ;p12:32
mac_vmpt: lol! the "date installed" is a new idea ;p12:45
mac_vseb128: the indicator , why is it in the startup list? why not remove it?12:50
mac_vindicator-applet*12:50
seb128mac_v, because things started by the session are listed12:51
seb128there is no way to have it run and not listed right now12:51
seb128and that would also mean users can't stop it from running if they want12:51
seb128the whole way we deal with config migrations after upgrade sort of sucks12:52
seb128we need to work on better tools for that12:52
mac_vbut that doesnt stop the applet from running , i think i'm the one who confused you about it12:52
seb128no, the code is a migration script12:52
mac_vcant the applet install the icon itself , like how other panels applets do ?12:52
seb128it adds the applet to your gnome-panel bar12:52
seb128no, applets can't add themself this way12:53
mac_vhrm...12:53
seb128the gnome-panel default configuration is a static description12:53
mac_vok12:53
seb128we update it to be what we want12:53

mac_vseb128: "Adds the applet to the panel on first run" ? how does that sound?12:54
mac_vfirst boot?12:55
seb128still confusing12:55
mac_vhmm..12:55
seb128let me think12:55
seb128something around those lines I would say12:56
seb128 12:56
seb128"adds indicator-applet to existing configurations after upgrade"12:57
seb128oh, indicator-applet is already in the title right?12:57
mac_vdoesnt it add to fresh installs too?12:57
seb128"update existing configuration to add the applet"?12:57
seb128no12:57
seb128fresh install get the stock ubuntu profile which has the applet12:57
seb128the code is only there to tweak user configs for upgraders12:58
seb128ie for people who installed ubuntu before the applet existed12:58
mac_vyeah i checked it after you mentioned :)12:58
mac_vBTW , the code should remove itself too ;p12:58
seb128it can't12:59
seb128it's system installed12:59
seb128and it might be used for other users12:59
seb128ideally we would have it in the user session only yes12:59
seb128not sure how feasible that would be to make update-manager add things to .autostart12:59
mac_vits a redundant in the startup list  , its a bit misleading TBH12:59
seb128mac_v, it clearly sucks and should not be there but run once and go away13:00
seb128it's just not trivial to do13:00
mac_vwe need an "upgrade manager"as you said :)13:00
mac_vor tool13:00
seb128yes13:01
seb128we know that ;-)13:02

seb128let me think for a bit13:10
seb128I'm fine with this one otherwise13:10
seb128it's better than what we have now ;-)13:10
mac_vi-a , indicator doesnt need to be mentioned13:10
mac_vseb128: yeah13:11
mac_vseb128: oops ... "to have" is not correct13:11
mac_v "Updates existing configurations to add the applet" ?13:11
seb128and maybe changing the title to "Indicator Applet Installer"?13:13
mac_v"installer" is not right either , hmm... so we change that too..?13:15
seb128mac_v, I will try to think to a way to have it not be listed there ;-)13:15
mac_v\o/ thats better13:15
seb128mac_v, btw I think djsiegel wanted to drop the separator next to fusa in the stock config13:16
seb128I'm not sure now, do you know about that?13:16
seb128I would like to do the change in the same upload if that was the case13:16
mac_vyeah... that separator really doesnt belong there , since now we have an icon "status" from indicator-session13:17
mvoseb128: sorry I was on the phone - what is needed here? another update-notifier hook?13:24
seb128mvo, still the same "how do we deal with changes to user configs on upgrade"13:25

seb128just hack the error dialog to open the capplet14:36
asaci think on startup: check if there is something fishy14:36
asacotherwise open the preferred application dialog with warning markers next to the entries that are broken14:37
asacdoes that sounds better?14:37
seb128I'm not sure what the startup checks win us14:37
seb128it's extra work at every login for a thing which is likely never going to break14:37
asacits a core desktop feature to have preferred applications14:38
seb128and if it does break you can easily fix it when you get the error which suggests a way to fix it14:38
asacthe argument above applies imo14:38
asacseb128: well. there is no way to unify that behaviour across applications if you say it shoud happen on click14:38
seb128it does14:39
asacthere is no common lib in gtk or something that wraps this?=14:39
seb128the error comes from the library used14:39
asacwhat library is that14:39
seb128I need to check in the modern world14:40
asaci dont think there is a unified lib14:40
seb128it used to be libgnome and gnome-vfs14:40
asacif there is then yes14:40
chrisccoulsongnome-open is using gio14:40
seb128well, apps don't call gnome-open14:40
chrisccoulson(i think)14:40
seb128they use a g_* function14:40
seb128but the preferred browser is a gconf key14:40
asacyes14:40
seb128so it's not glib itself, could be gvfs though14:40
asaci can tell you that in the past apps queried for mime-type handlers14:41
asacand did all the rest of the business on their own14:41
asacmime-type + scheme handlers that is14:41
seb128that's orthogonal to the preferred application thing14:41
asaci dont understand14:41
asaclets summarize:14:42
asacyou say you want to modify the lib (that we dont know) used by almost allmost all apps to auto trigger this?14:42
asacor are you proposing something different?14:42
asacthe options i see are:14:42
asaca) on startup do the checks and open preferred applications so user can fix it14:43
pittihm, sensible-web-browser might actually make sense/14:43
pitti?14:43
asacb) on demand (when any app wants to open a preferrred app) that check is done14:43
asacand if it fails the same behaviour as a) ... maybe with a warning dialo14:43
asacpitti: then preferred applications needs to tweak sensible browser14:43
pittix-www-browser?14:43
seb128pitti, it's not user friendly, or we need to patch the code to display what browser that's actually is and display an icon14:43
asacsame thing.14:43
pittiasac: they already do anyway?14:44
pittihm14:44
asacmaybe. but in the preferred UI you set a command14:44
asacalso you dont know up-front all the protocols that might be in gconf14:44
asacso we dont have a wrapper script for all14:44
seb128asac, I don't like the on startup thing14:44
seb128I don't like things auto-opening without actions14:45
asacseb128: i know. i just summarized it14:45
seb128I need to look how it works now14:45
seb128but apps use to call gnome-open basically14:45
seb128or whatever libgnome api that was14:45
asacsensible-browser we have ... but we dont have sensible-ftp ... or sensible-irc or whatever scheme there might exist14:45
seb128I think there is an api to call the prefered browser too nowadays14:45
seb128I think the right place for the change would be in the error handler for that call14:46
seb128ie the one which displays the error14:46
asacfind the call14:46
asaci dont know about a common call that has a common error handler14:47
seb128I will have a look later, I'm trying to update gtk now and to patch gnome-panel to fix an issue14:47
asacsure14:47
asacnot urgent14:47
seb128well14:47
seb128what do you think displays the error when you click on a url and the software is not set?14:47
asacthe application14:48
asacthat tries to open it14:48
* seb128 tries14:48
seb128http//www.ubuntu.com14:48
asacapps in princpal just get the command14:48
asacand then run that14:48
asacthats my current understanding14:48
asacsome apps might always run sensible/www-browser14:49
chrisccoulsongvfs implements a gio module that does the lookup from gconf then (gconf/gapplookupgconf.c in gvfs), although you probably already figured that out14:49
chrisccoulsonperhaps gvfs could be made a bit more clever to update broken entries when you use them rather than just returning an error14:50
chrisccoulsonand rather than having to check for them at the start of every session14:50
asacthats the general idea we are discussing, yes.14:50
seb128hum ok14:53
seb128so you might be right14:53
seb128there might be an api to call the default browser and the calling software deals with errors14:53
=== asac__ is now known as asac
chrisccoulsonif the default application is not installed on the system then, how would you determine what other suitable applications are installed to handle that particular URI scheme?15:02
chrisccoulsonit doesn't seem to be quite as clever as the way mime types are handled15:02
pittikenvandine: ok, papyon and butterfly MIRs written, approved, and I'm uploading empathy with butterfly recommends re-added; that shold do it15:10
seb128djsiegel, hey15:13

mvompt: I know this is for later :)15:42
mvoI like the idea15:42
mptmvo, "date installed" would be the most relevant. I don't really know if the others would be useful at all.15:43
* mvo nods15:43
mptmvo, Windows XP and later tell you whether you have used an installed program "Never"/"Rarely"/"Occasionally"/"Frequently"/etc. Is there anything in Ubuntu collecting that kind of data?15:44

james_ware the sponsors subscribed?15:46
pittiasac: yay, current langpacks work with ffox 3.5 now, thanks!15:47

seb128mvo, what do you call appearance?15:47
dobeyjames_w: now they are15:47
mvoseb128: sorry, let me try again - for the gnome-panel change that puts software-store to its new place - is that only needed in gnome-panel? or do I have to change anything in software-store to make it work too?15:48
james_wdobey: ok, then getting it in faster than that is a case of asking someone15:48

c_korneh, fully-patched, fresh installation of karmic misses some icons: http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/24329/screenshot_001_1h92Zq.png16:48
mac_vc_korn: that was a purposeful move :(16:53
c_korna move ? there were also icons in the applications menu missing. but after an update they are there again. so the move is not finished yet ?16:55
seb128vuntz, should preferences and administrations menus have icons?16:55
seb128c_korn, they changed mind on the categories16:55
mac_vseb128: c_korn: mpt suggested that the applications menu icons need to be present but not the system menu16:56
seb128ok16:56
c_kornso they are following ?16:56
mac_vyup :(16:57
rugby471mvo: ok it should work now, I had to start my branch again though :-)16:57
mac_vc_korn: if you want the icons just turn them on from the appearances prefs16:58
c_kornmac_v: oh, there they are. thanks.16:59
mac_vmpt: is the padding needed for the system menu? cant we do without the padding? so that the missing icons dont seem like a bug?16:59
mac_vvuntz: ^ ?17:00
mptmac_v, all menus are indented that much, whether they have icons or not, for the sake of those items that have check marks or radio marks.17:00
mptmac_v, eventually I think items with icons should be indented so that the icons of items that have them line up with the text of items that don't, but that's something to consider later once people are used to mostly-icon-less menus.17:02
mac_vyeah , that i know but it seems unnecessary to have the padding for the menus which have no intent of showing the icons17:02
mvorugby471: thanks, I need to clarify with mpt if the pendingview should have icon size 24 or 32, I don't mind either way17:02
mac_valteast by default17:02
mpt(And so that items with icons can themselves be boolean/radio items, which is currently impossible in GTK.)17:02
mvorugby471: thanks for the other fixes (and sorry that your name was missing in the help page if you contributed to that :(17:02
mac_vmpt: hmm.. eventually that would be nice :)17:02

seb128pitti, ah ok, good17:05
pittiseb128: but there's no branch/package for 0.3.017:05
mptc_korn, icons only for items that represent the sort of object that can easily appear/disappear in the menu. E.g. applications, categories, files, folders, disks, etc.17:05
seb128pitti, it's blocked on couchdb-glib though17:05
pittiseb128: right, was just going to say17:05
seb128pitti, the update didn't have a shlibs updated so I sent it back to incomplete17:05

mptmvo, "The items should be displayed similar to a package list view..." -- so it should use the same size icons as (for example) the list on the department screen does17:26

seb128oh, you add a .symbols17:50
pittiseb128: well, we are the packages, they are the upstreams17:50
pittiseb128: yes, I usually prefer symbols, since it reminds me when it changes instead of silently breaking dependencies17:51
seb128pitti, well, the bug was a sponsoring request, not a request to update, but right17:51
pittiI'm just too good for this world :)17:51
seb128pitti, I sort of dislike those, need to build twice which is annoying17:51
pittiseb128: to get the changes?17:51
seb128one to get the error17:52
pittiwell, you can run dpkg-gensymbols manually17:52
seb128thing you need to resume at least a debuild binary17:52
seb128or rebuild17:52
seb128well, you need the libs built for that17:52
pittisure17:52
seb128and it made builds so slow17:52
pittibuild, update symbols, clean17:52
seb128but that's sort of orthogonal17:53
pittiseb128: you don't really need to rebuild twice, but I do it to verify the changes if I edited the patch (e. g. added (optional))17:53
pittiseb128: I use this for these cases:17:53
pittialias dreb='debuild -us -uc -nc'17:53

chrisccoulsonright, time to finish off the MIR for libgdata19:02
pittiok, 'nuff sponsoring for today; good night everyone!19:26
chrisccoulsongood night pitti19:26
pittichrisccoulson: enjoy your short work day tomorrow :)19:26
chrisccoulsonpitti - thanks:)19:27
chrisccoulsonit means i have more time to spend on here ;)19:27
didrockspitti: python-distutils-extra only suggests devscripts, which makes fail Quickly ubuntu-project share and release command calling python-mkdebian which uses debchanges (Quickly only dep on dpkg-dev). So, how to handle it gracefully? Adding depends on Quickly ubuntu-project even if I don't directly need it? :/19:58

seb128maxb, you like tap clicking really?20:57
maxbYes. I consider it part of the basic functionality that I expect in any laptop touchpad I may come across20:58
seb128waouh20:58
seb128I never managed to use a touchpad with that on20:58
seb128I keep clicking randomly while trying to scroll20:58
maxbhuh. I've never had that problem20:59
seb128or while moving the pointer20:59
seb128not to mention clicking by mistake while typing20:59
seb128but there is an option for that now21:00
* kenvandine keeps buying think pads to avoid the touchpad21:02
Amaranthseb128: I think that may be a problem with the xorg driver because I never have that issue with OS X21:11
AmaranthIt's too sensitive or something21:11
seb128or you know what pressure to use or something21:11
seb128or it depends of the hardware21:11
seb128mac_v, hey, do you have any opinion on bug #388303?21:19
ubottuLaunchpad bug 388303 in eog "Eye of Gnome should have Image Collection enabled by default" [Wishlist,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/38830321:19
mac_vseb128: i'v noticed that bug , but have left it untouched because it feels like unnecessary duplication/complication... we already have fspot with collection and a bunch of nice new features , not sure why EOG needs a collection!21:22
mac_vthe user wants to use EOG like fspot , i would say that would be good idea , pre-fspot's recent development but now it seems unnecessary21:23
mac_vseb128: are you interested in fixing that? i'm thinking of invalidating the papercut , or ....?21:26
seb128mac_v, I'm interested by getting it off the sponsoring queue21:27
seb128either by uploading the change or saying that need discussion21:27
mac_vi'd say we need a discussion ...21:27
seb128ok, same here21:28
seb128let me unsubscribe the sponsors meanwhile21:28

mac_vseb128: could you also change the EOG status to "triaged" ?21:35
seb128mac_v, no21:35
seb128we use triaged when upstream bugs are sent upstream21:35
seb128we = desktop team21:35
seb128I did set confirmed21:35
mac_voh , so "in progress" is correct?21:36
* mac_v rechecks21:36
seb128I just did the change21:36
mac_vhrm... lp  is slow ;p had it "in progress" in the regular but "confirmed" in edge21:38
mac_vcorrected now21:38
alex-weejwhen i plug my usb drive in22:06
alex-weejxattrs don't appear to be enabled?22:06
alex-weejwhy? D: D: D: D:22:06
chrisccoulsonalex-weej - no idea. probably due to the change over to dk-disks though22:19
alex-weejon jaunty?22:19
chrisccoulsonno, i thought you were talking about karmic22:20
chrisccoulsonis http://wiki.ubuntu.com being really slow for anyone else here? i can't edit anything at the moment22:22
c_kornthe wiki opens immediately for me22:25
chrisccoulsonhmmm, might be something on my connection then22:26
seb128chrisccoulson, it's fast there22:26
chrisccoulsonthanks. it's working ok here now as well. just a temporary glitch ;)22:27
c_kornbtw: is it just me or did google enlarge their search buttons ?22:43
asacwhere are those canberra event sounds configured?23:09
* asac checks preferesnces -> sound23:10
asacthats not it23:10
asacthere is a sound theme entry23:10
asacbut no way to change what sounds is played where23:10
seb128asac, I think the new GNOME UI doesn't allow changing those23:17
seb128there is a bug open about that23:17
asacseb128: what is the config file ;)?23:18
seb128asac, http://0pointer.de/public/sound-theme-spec.html23:19
asaci have a bug about about firefox using the log out drums for some operation ;) want to verify if its a config fault or misuse on firefox side23:19
seb128short reply: I don't know23:19
asacthx23:19
seb128TheMuso might know23:19
asacyeah will check with himo23:19
asacoh he is online ;)23:19
chrisccoulsonseb128 - libgdata MIR is done now23:20
asaci found those sound theme like files23:20
seb128"Configuration programs that allow limited user manipulation of the selected sound theme (i.e. for disabling or replacing certain sounds), should create a dynamicly created theme "__custom" that inherits from the selected theme and store it in the "~/.local/share/sounds/__custom" directory"23:20
asacin /etc/sound23:20
asacbut they only refer to all those meta info23:20
asacnot the files themselves :(23:20
seb128chrisccoulson, thanks!23:20
asacoh ok23:21
asacthere are really (just a few) file= entries23:21
seb128the /etc/sound thing is the old libgnome api sounds I think23:21
seb128libcanberra uses the new xdg spec23:21
seb128http://0pointer.de/public/sound-naming-spec.html is the naming spec23:21
asac/etc/sound/events/gnome.soundlist ... thats at least .desktop style file23:22
asacfeels not sooo old23:22
asachmm23:22
asaci will check that later ;)23:22
seb128wait for TheMuso that will be easier23:22
asacyeah23:22
seb128anyway enough work for today there23:23
seb128see you tomorrow23:23
asacenjoy23:24
TheMusoSomeone was wanting to ask me something?23:37
TheMusoAh sound theme stuff.23:40
TheMusoYeah we can drop all /etc/sound/events files, including batstatus since gpm afaik uses libcanberra now.23:42
asacTheMuso: so the problem is that dialog-question sound23:44
asacis this drum roll23:44
asacwhich previously probably only was used on log out ... which might be fine23:44
asacbut now firefox also uses it for importanht "question dialogs"23:44
TheMusoasac: Oh do you mean for gdm?23:44
asacTheMuso: bug 41147623:44
TheMusoasac: Does firefox-gnome-support not use libcanberra?23:44
ubottuLaunchpad bug 411476 in ubuntu-sounds "Firefox 3.5 should not use the ubuntu logout noises as default sounds" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/41147623:44
asacTheMuso: /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/dialog-question.wav23:44
asacthats the file we ship for dialog-question in the xdg theme23:45
asac(from what i understand)23:45
TheMusoyes thats right.23:45
asacTheMuso: i think the sound is suboptimal for the extended purpose of desktop apps using it through canberra23:45
asacfor logout it was fine.23:45
asaci assignned it to the ubuntu-sounds package now. not sure what to do23:45
asacmaybe the logout should use a different "theme name"?23:46
asacand the dialog-question sound become much shorter ... and less noisy?23:46
TheMusoasac: I'll look at the bug and see if I can reproduce it.23:46
asacTheMuso: ok thanks. let me know if you need help/input23:47
TheMusoasac: np23:47
TheMusooh and that sound is not for logout at all. Previously, that sound was played with the old gdm loading, which actually needs to be fixed up for the new GDM.23:48
asacTheMuso: ok. so we could use something shorter and less annoying for dialog-question. sounds right23:48
asacnot the "drum roll" just because there is a question ;)23:48
TheMusoasac: Ok, I'm going to reproduce this on a fresh user/install and go from there.23:49
asacok i will check with you tomorrow on what you think23:50
asac(i guess for you this evening) ;)23:50
TheMusoyes23:50
asacTheMuso: one question though. who owns the sound theme? how get files in there?23:51
TheMusoasac: I don't really know who owns it. Files have different creators etc.23:52
TheMusoI just had a hand in converting it to the XDG spec.23:52
asacah ok.23:52
asacgood ... then you own it ;)23:52
asachehe23:52
TheMusohaha23:53
TheMusoI am hapy to take responsibility for it at least.23:53
