=== asac_ is now known as asac
loologra: I just received my reminder to prepare for the release meeting11:19
loologra: So would you mind preparing the report?   :-)11:19
loolI can proofread it if you like11:20
ograif i have found the d-i issue :)11:20
ograi dont want to pause that work atm11:20
loologra: I need to know if you're writing it or not though11:21
ograsure i do11:21
ograi still have last weeks open11:22
ograwill just carry over and adjust11:22
loolOk11:22
loolasac: Hey12:49
loolasac: How did things go with gnome-web-photo?12:49
asacslow progress 12:50
loolasac: If it looks like it will take a bit more time, perhaps we should defer to karmic+112:50
asaccan we get that in karmic+112:50
asachehe12:50
asacyeah12:50
loolasac: Since we're into UI freeze etc.12:50
loolasac: Alternatively if you tell me you're sure you'll manage to fix it we could approve it to main and target the bug at beta12:50
asacits directly linking into libxul.so i can tell that on the MIR12:50
loolIt's just that I think we should decide now whether we take it or not12:51
asaclool: no i cannot guarantee that i will fix it. its fixable12:51
loolasac: Ok so let's defer to karmic+`12:51
asacbut i have lots of things to do12:51
lool+112:51
loolasac: That's fine by me12:51
loolnjpatel: You around?12:52
wutzara_netbookWill the Ubuntu moblin remix get an official release?12:52
loolnjpatel: I'd love to have a quick chat with you on Humanity/theming12:52
loolwutzara_netbook: Official?  No12:52
loolwutzara_netbook: We're already having a hard time getting it to build12:52
wutzara_netbooklool: Why then porting the packages?12:53
loolwutzara_netbook: Why then what?12:53
loolwutzara_netbook: Porting which packages?12:53
njpatellool: got a few minutes, whats up?12:53
loolnjpatel: Can I give you a quick phone call?12:54
wutzara_netbooklool: in Launchpad are many packages to build a moblin Interface in Ubuntu - but without a official release why package these library's?12:54
loolHold on12:55
loolwutzara_netbook: Well we need to start somewhere12:55
wutzara_netbooklool: ok so will the moblin remix get finetuning? There are some obscure behaviour in the interface. Like the window in the upper left corner12:56
ogralool, i assume bug 425547 is still in progress ? 12:57
ubottuLaunchpad bug 425547 in Ubuntu Karmic "Ubuntu Moblin Remix: Merging ~moblin PPA packages into karmic" [Undecided,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/42554712:57
ograStevenK, lool, should bug 430277 be on the release team report ?12:58
ubottuLaunchpad bug 430277 in humanity-icon-theme "ubuntuone icon is colorful while the other panel icons are dark" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/43027712:58
StevenKogra: Nah, lool had a plan13:00
ograok13:00
ograplans are always good :)13:00
* StevenK goes back to his holidays13:00
loolwutzara_netbook: Sorry I'm on the phone two secs13:05
loolwutzara_netbook: So there are two angles to this13:06
loolwutzara_netbook: One is the Ubuntu one and the other is the Canonical one13:06
loolwutzara_netbook: Other Canonical employees and myself are tasked with packaging Moblin bits and assembling a basic image in Ubuntu13:07
loolEven if these were not officially released upstream13:07
loolThis started in a PPA a while ago and is being merged in karmic (see the bug ogra mentionned)13:07
loolWe can't merge everything we did in karmic, like UI changes or changes to common bits such as GNOME bits13:07
njpatellool: https://edge.launchpad.net/~canonical-ux13:07
loolwutzara_netbook: But we can merge as much as possible and hope that it's useful13:08
wutzara_netbookyes i understand that. Then i can build a Moblin Interface in Karmic?13:08
loolwutzara_netbook: Over time, things will improve but right now they are messy; also Canonical is not supporting the Ubuntu Moblin Remix officially; it's some developer demo if you like13:08
loolwutzara_netbook: You can do what you want!13:09
loolnjpatel: thanks!13:09
loolStevenK: So we're dropping Humanity for karmic; might readd in karmic+113:09
loolnjpatel: BTW consider UDS sponsorships for Humanity folks if you think that's useful for UNR in karmic+113:09
njpatellool: sure, will do13:09
loologra: bug 425547 > yes still in progress13:10
ubottuLaunchpad bug 425547 in Ubuntu Karmic "Ubuntu Moblin Remix: Merging ~moblin PPA packages into karmic" [Undecided,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/42554713:10
wutzara_netbooklool, thanks for that answer. So its maybe possible to get in the future a moblin remix but it isnt planned13:10
loologra: Concerning the icon theming bugs, we will revert to Human13:10
ogralool, ok, but i guess that doesnt need mentioning in the report 13:10
loologra: That should certainly be a highlight in the meeting that we will rollback from humanity-icon-theme to human-icon-theme13:10
ograok13:10
loolIt's a UI change and quite a visible one so I think it's worth a high level note, perhaps in the highlights along the report's URL13:11
loolwutzara_netbook: What are you asking about?13:11
loolwutzara_netbook: We're building a daily image from karmic+ppa; currently it's failing to build due to a transition13:11
loolWe're working on that issue but it's non-trivial13:12
loolWe should solve it in the next week we hope13:12
wutzara_netbooklool, there is still no official release for moblin remix. My problem is that i use a Celeron M processor on my netbook. So my last hope is that i can get the moblin interface (which is quite attractive) with ubuntu which dont need SSSE313:13
ogralool, can you milestone bug 430277 and add info about the plan ? 13:14
ubottuLaunchpad bug 430277 in humanity-icon-theme "ubuntuone icon is colorful while the other panel icons are dark" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/43027713:14
loolwutzara_netbook: Ok so we are providing images but they will not be as high quality as the other Ubuntu ones; make your choice beween ubuntu moblin remix, the UNR image, other Ubuntu images, or the upstream Moblin image13:16
loologra: Yes was about to do that13:16
ograthanks13:17
wutzara_netbooklool, yes i use for my productive netbook the UNR. But if moblin will be useable i will switch to moblin as soon as i can. upstream Moblin dont work because of the CPU.13:18
loolwutzara_netbook: So wait some time and reevaluate13:19
loolwutzara_netbook: But moblin remix wont be as nice as UNR13:19
wutzara_netbooklool, yes i like the UNR Interface - but the integration of social web isn't as good as moblin. One sneak of peak and i see my tasks and my appointments. Perfect Twitter integration and so on. Maybe this is the only advantage ;)13:22
loolnjpatel: ^ he says UNR sucks13:22
loolnjpatel: I'd cut his tongue or something13:23
wutzara_netbookroooofl13:23
wutzara_netbookno no lool - i like UNR i swear13:23
njpatellool: LOL, point him to moblin remix...he'll soon be back :)13:23
wutzara_netbook:) i AM be back form that13:24
njpatelwutzara_netbook: social integration is on the radar, hopefully for 9.1013:24
njpatelwutzara_netbook: er, 10.0413:24
njpatelwutzara_netbook: heh, good to hear :)13:24
loolWhat's that social thing?13:25
loolIt's like IRC?13:25
wutzara_netbookTwitter?13:25
wutzara_netbookFeeds?13:25
loolBah I have email already13:25
* ogra has a mobile phone !13:26
wutzara_netbookthats one point that i missing. Maybe it is possible that a deamon search for new mails and show them on the UNR13:26
wutzara_netbookwithout to start evolution13:26
looldavidbarth: ogra updated the releasestatus page15:40
looldavidbarth: Anything specific you want to raise for DX?15:40
DBOplars, you around? :)16:27
plarsDBO: yes16:42
DBOI am on Neil Patels team (actually interning on his team) and am looking to see if we cant help apport get some extra info for us out of some related crashes16:43
DBOwe are getting lots of crashes inside of clutter-glx lately, this is most likely a driver bug, however the bug reports so far as I can see do not contain any info about the video card/driver/mesa/xorg version16:43
DBOmaking it rather hard to figure out what render path inside of mesa/xorg/some random driver, actually contains the bug :(16:44
DBOi understand you either can help, or can point me at a person who can :)16:44
plarsDBO: ah, I saw a comment about that in a bug today16:45
DBOthat was me16:45
plarsDBO: right16:45
plarsDBO: so... best thing I can suggest is that we start asking for that information on those bugs16:46
plarsDBO: unfortunately, I haven't been able to reproduce any of them myself16:46
DBOis there any way to help get this information in the future automatically16:46
DBOI suspect upon release we are going to get floods of these things16:46
plarsDBO: I take it that it's impossible to proceed without that information?16:46
DBOpretty much16:46
DBOthere are just too many code paths to explore16:47
plarsDBO: yes16:47
plarsDBO: I'll look at that, though it may not be possible this cycle, will have to see16:47
DBOwhat about just getting a xorg log in there?16:47
plarsDBO: basically it would involve writing an apport hook for netbook-launcher (where the problems are usually showing up) to grab that information16:48
DBOoh so the hooks go into netbook-launcher?16:48
DBOwhere can I get documentation on adding those hooks, I can pound that stuff out16:48
plarsDBO: so... wishlist time: for a bug against netbook-launcher, what information would be useful to have for debugging?16:48
plarsDBO: I can write the hook if you want, or you can, matters not to me16:48
plarsDBO: I've been wanting to talk to you and Neil for a while now when we all have some free time, to get these kind of hook written for all of the UNR things16:49
DBOuseful information, a Xorg log, kernel log, that would actually about cover it16:49
DBOsince the xorg log would contain almost all the info we need16:49
plarsDBO: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport#Per-package%20Apport%20Hooks16:49
DBOsweet, so we can hook this without changing apport? (sorry, I know nothing of how apport works yet)16:50
plarsDBO: I know that launcher spits out some other data if you run it from console, is there anyway to capture that if you didn't run it from console?16:50
plarsDBO: yep, it just goes in with the netbook-launcher package16:50
plarsDBO: assuming it's not breaking some Freeze, then it's pretty straightforward16:50
plarsDBO: and the hooks are pretty simple to write16:51
DBOI dont think I have had to break any freezes yet personally16:51
DBOeverybody gets 1, right? :P16:51
whitetiger00hi all16:52
plarsDBO: of course, for the bugs that are already out there, we need to just ask on the bug for the submitter to attach the xorg log after reproducing16:53
whitetiger00Can someone suggest a good PCMCIA wireless card that will work fairly well, out of the box, with 9.04???16:53
plarsDBO: oh, for launcher, what about .xsession-errors? anything useful there?16:53
DBOplars, while I dont disagree, my experience is that most of those pleas will go unanswered16:53
plarsDBO: they may, and it would be great if you can proceed without the information.16:54
loolplars: Let's just call the source_xorg hook in the netbook-launcher one16:54
loolOr add a symlink16:54
DBOplars, I doubt anything will end up there thats not in the xorg logs, but it wont hurt16:54
plarsDBO: but! - if the bug is impacting enough people, then chances are that someone will see it when they try to submit the bug, and attach the log even if it isn't the original submitter16:54
DBOyes I know, I will go through each of the bugs asking for it16:54
DBOwe'll see if anyone bites :)16:55
loolDBO: Check /usr/share/apport/package-hooks/source_xorg.py does it include what you want?16:55
DBOlool, if that even just grabs a xorg log it gets what I want16:55
plarslool: that would probably suffice, but I was wondering from DBO if there was any way to get the stdout/stderr output from netbook-launcher.  I've seen njpatel ask for that on some bugs in the past16:55
DBOmmm yeah that does get what I want16:55
loolIt grabs all of them16:55
DBOplars, I need to convert the way unr does logging16:56
loolplars: haha checkout the compiz hook16:56
DBOthere is too much usage of g_print'ish commands16:56
loolit copy-pasted the xorg one and grabs .xsession-errors16:56
loolI find it sad that so many hooks dup the xorg log bit16:59
loolplars: You wanted to write that hook?  Do you mind if I do?17:16
ogralool, you skip a call to do more work ?17:17
mac_vlool: hi... i didnt understand why the FFE was needed for UNR ,and the Humanity theme... if you dont want the greyscale icons we could just revert them! i dont want to cause unnecessary confusion , Daniel has spent several days to get the greyscale icons conceptualized17:17
plarslool: sounds like it's just going to be a cut and paste of the xorg or compiz one!17:17
* ogra shakes head17:17
loolplars: hehe then dont :)17:17
plarslool: what were you thinking of doing instead?17:18
loolplars: I have something nicer17:18
loolplars: http://paste.ubuntu.com/273588/17:18
plarslool: great, have at it then! :)17:18
loolmac_v: Ah17:18
loolmac_v: I'm glad you ping me17:18
plarslool: much nicer17:18
loolmac_v: I intended to drop Humanity fron UNR17:18
mac_vwhy so?17:18
mac_vover my comment! :(17:19
loolmac_v: I have a list of issues for which it's getting late for fixing17:19
loolmac_v: but perhaps we can sort them out17:19
loolmac_v: Let me forward them to you; emaiL?17:19
mac_vlool: was this decision before my comment or after?17:19
loolmac_v: It was about 8 hours ago17:19
mac_vlool: aw! ..sure you can send the problems by mail17:20
loolmac_v: But I was not getting feedback on the humanity issues; now that you popup perhaps we can still fix that?  :)17:20
loolmac_v: which address?17:20
mac_vlool: yup , sure17:20
mac_voh my , lp has the id17:20
loolah just got your ping on #ubuntu-desktop17:20
loolHmm ok17:21
mac_vyeah  , i realized that was in the wrong room ;)17:21
loolmac_v: sent17:21
loolmac_v: So if we really want to do that, we need to test all notification-area icons in the default UNR image17:22
loolmac_v: I'm sorry, it's getting a tad late for me to discuss this and I'm a bit tired; do you mind if we resume on Monday?17:22
loolor you can email me17:22
mac_vlool: sure no probs... :)17:22
