=== asac_ is now known as asac
asachi10:57
asaceagles0513875: not sure if you managed to get past it, but if you have modifications you need to commit them before you can push11:14
asacbut i am sure i already said that a few times ;)11:15
asackenvandine: gwibber locked my whole desktop focus wise ;) ... and no .... not sure how that works11:35
asackenvandine: only thing i know was that the UI thread of gwibber was dead too11:36
asackenvandine: do you know if i can send some signal to python process so it spits out the current thread dump?11:36
asaci know thats possible in java ;)11:36
* asac would think any decent interpreter/VM system would have that11:37
asackenvandine: antoher good thing would be to make gwibber dbus interface introspectable ;) ... i cannot see much in d-feet atm11:57
* asac wonders if there is any chance that tbird 3 will not consume gigabytes of mem for final12:01
asac1512m 863m  27m R   85 43.0  13:57.45 thunderbird-bin12:01
asacand i didnt even open a single mail yet ;)12:01
asacjust downloads and indexes mails atm12:02
asac_Tsk_: hey. is the mem consumption of shredder considered a (fixable) issue?13:01
asacon this 2G system i had to stop everything but tbird 3 to use it without swapping13:02
asacany hint where that mem gets lost? in the indexer?13:03
asacor are you relying on "memory pressure" ... which isnt implemented on linux?13:03
bdrungasac: what do you think of av`s idea to use a uploaders.mk for the moz-ext-team?13:32
asachow would that work?13:34
asacbdrung: ?13:34
asac${uploaders} ?13:34
* asac wonders if that works when producing sources?13:35
bdrungasac: look at e.g. brasero13:36
bdrungasac: there is a control.in file containing "Uploaders: @GNOME_TEAM@"13:36
asacplease no control.in13:39
asacrather adding folks manually13:39
_Tsk_asac:  it should13:40
asacbut i will think about it. so far we have you as uploader and andrea. not sure how many more we will get ;)13:40
_Tsk_specially if gloda is involved13:40
asac_Tsk_: what should?13:41
asacget fixed?13:41
asacor indexer is the culprit?13:41
_Tsk_we should use so much memry like we do sometime while indexing13:41
asacheh ... now: "indexing 888.... of 887 ... (106% complete) ;)13:41
asac_Tsk_: so tbird as mem requirement (minimum 2gb, recommended 4gb)?13:42
asachas13:42
_Tsk_no absolutely not. Just since two weeks gloda starts inedxing and that consumes memory - once indexes it gets down to lower values and if it doesn't then file a bug13:43
asac_Tsk_: right. but it practically mean that tbird 3 will not be usable on any system < 2gb13:43
asacwhy does the indexer takes so much space?13:43
asacimo there should be potential if its really the indexer13:44
_Tsk_I don't know13:44
asacbut will check ... once it has finished i will restart13:44
_Tsk_k13:44
asac108% complete ;)13:46
asacseems it doesnt like that i didnt sync my mails for ages ;)13:46
mac_vasac: hei , got a min14:36
mac_vwhy is the edit connections > wired and the DSL tab using the icon from device  , while the wireless and the broadband are using icons from status14:37
mac_v*devices folder  .... *status folder14:37
asacmac_v: we use nm- icons ... theme ships links for some and maybe not for others14:40
asacthere is some best-approach tweakage in the theme ... dont ask me what the current status is ;)14:41
mac_vasac:  the stuff is messed up :(... the nm- icons are not used for wired connections :(14:41
mac_vit is used for wireless only14:42
asaclet me check in code14:42
mac_vlet me explain the problem14:42
asachttp://paste.ubuntu.com/278750/14:42
asacthats what is loaded in code14:42
asacif the icon used does not have nm- ... prefix14:43
asacthen there is a link shipped in theme or something14:43
asacso you wont see it in strace14:43
mac_vasac: ok , , what icon is used in the edit connections?14:44
mac_vthe wired tab14:44
mac_vand for dsl14:44
mac_vwe need to fix those for humanity and I'm really stupmed :(14:45
mac_vstumped*14:45
asacfind /usr/share/icons/Humanity/ | grep nm- | pastebinit14:45
asachttp://paste.ubuntu.com/278752/14:45
mac_vasac: hehe , i know the icons .. i did them ;p14:46
mac_vi dont know which icon is used in the tab :(14:46
mac_vit shows a wrong icons , we want to make it use a color icon ,14:46
asac        ICON_LOAD(list->wired_icon, "nm-device-wired"); ICON_LOAD(list->wireless_icon, "nm-device-wireless"); ICON_LOAD(list->wwan_icon, "nm-device-wwan"); ICON_LOAD(list->vpn_icon, "nm-vpn-standalone-lock"); ICON_LOAD(list->unknown_icon, "nm-no-connection");14:47
asacsorry14:47
asaclet me paste14:47
asachttp://paste.ubuntu.com/278756/14:47
asacthose are the ones in the connection-editor14:47
asacmac_v: so the standalone lock14:48
asac/usr/share/icons/Humanity/apps/24/nm-vpn-standalone-lock.svg14:48
asac/usr/share/icons/Humanity/apps/22/nm-vpn-standalone-lock.svg14:48
asacfor the VPN tab14:48
mac_vthats no probs14:48
asacwell. thats currently the same as the wired14:48
mac_vthe wired and the DSL are using a wrong icon :(14:48
asacplease make that look different14:48
asacthe wired is nm-device-wired14:49
asacmac_v: what i con are you seeing?14:49
asacwhat do you expect?14:49
mac_vlet me get you a screenshot14:49
asackiwii fixed it to be not the pacman ghost anymore ;)14:49
mac_vasac: well we are not using human now ;p14:49
mac_vas default14:49
asacanyway ... would be precious if you also add the lock to the bottom right for vpn14:50
asaclike it was before ;)14:50
mac_vasac: just corrected the vpn bug :)14:50
asacgreat14:50
asacplease get me screen14:50
mac_vbut lock is now above... i dont use vpn :(14:50
mac_vnor a wired connection :(14:50
asacso for me /usr/share/icons/Humanity/status/22/nm-device-wired.svg and /usr/share/icons/Humanity/devices/22/nm-device-wired.svg are identical14:51
asacmac_v: please put the lock to the lower right14:51
asacthats how its overlayed14:51
asacby nm14:51
mac_vasac: could you pull from and test it> $bzr branch lp:humanity14:52
asac/usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/nm-vpn-lock.png14:52
mac_vyeah noticed that14:52
asacno ;) ... today is weekend ;) and i am about to go out for afternoon action ;)14:52
mac_v;p14:52
asacso ... i see /usr/share/icons/Humanity/status/22/nm-device-wired.svg /usr/share/icons/Humanity/devices/22/nm-device-wired.svg14:52
asacfor wired14:53
asacin the tray and in the editor14:53
mac_vasac: can we make the tray and the tab use different icons PLS14:53
mac_vthe UX team wants greyscale14:53
mac_vicons14:53
asacunsure14:53
mac_vbut this same greyscale icon is used in the Tab... thats the whole problem14:54
asacwhich icon should be used instead?14:54
mac_vjust a sec14:54
asacmac_v: please use the tower approach for wwan14:54
mac_vi didnt understand14:55
asacmaybe make the left tower higher and show a signal or something ;)14:55
asacor look at the tower used by NM14:55
asac/usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/nm-device-wwan.png14:55
mac_vah.. ;)14:56
asacbut check with kiwii who did some work on that14:56
mac_vsure, that icon is in the TODO list...14:56
asache gave me different tower icons for expressing signal strength which i am trying to get upstream14:56
asacmac_v: if you do that remember that you need the same signal steps that wireless has14:56
asacfull, 75, 50, 25 and 0014:56
mac_vasac: rigth now i have assigned both wireless and wwan the same icon... a monitor with a wireless signal14:57
asacthat monitor looked more like a station to me14:57
asac;)14:57
mac_vhehe ;)14:58
asacwhich made me think that we just need to make it bigger for the wwan one14:58
asacso users see: its WIDE area Wireless14:58
asacbut not my decision14:58
asaci am only caring about upstream icons ;)14:58
mac_v:)14:58
mac_vasac: could you change the panel to use > network-wired.svg14:59
mac_vinstead of device14:59
asacdo you agree that a heart is good for emblem-favorite? shouldnt that be the practical standard used by firefox, gmail etc. -> a star?14:59
asacfor me its more like emblem-love14:59
mac_vasac: changed ;)15:00
asacmac_v: that will mean we get endless diff to upstream15:00
asacmac_v: the star?15:00
mac_vthat was added by another member of the team , now i'v changed15:00
mac_vyeah15:00
asaccool15:00
asacnow convince gnome to do the same15:00
asacwhere is that supposed to be filed?15:00
asac;)15:00
mac_vandreason15:00
asachttp://identi.ca/notice/1077173115:01
asacmac_v: cool. so maybe having those hearts in nm applet for a day helped ;)15:01
mac_vyeah.... we changed mainly because they appeared there ;)15:01
mac_vBTW it uses a very large icons :/15:02
mac_vit could be smaller15:02
asaci dont think that we want different icons for applet and connection-editor ... users already have a hard time to understand what those mean15:02
asacand keeping them in sync everywhere can only avoid confusion15:02
asacfor instance: they wonder all the time what that icon on the tray means ... they open "configure network" and then they see the same icon with a name next to it on the tab15:03
mac_vasac: the problem is all the "device" icons are now used in the editor... but for wireless and broadband... the icon labels dont have device15:03
mac_vso it would be better if we used the icon without the device label in the panel too15:03
asacmac_v: not no sure what you mean15:03
mac_vwireless use nm-signal-*15:04
asacthats just signal. yes15:04
mac_vsame with vpn nm-vpn-*15:04
asaci dont see the benefit of renaming everything to nm-wired etc.15:04
asacat least not for you15:04
mac_vasac: its not for me :)15:04
asacit doesnt change the fact that theicons in tray should be the same used in the connection editor tab15:04
asacyou == for your problem15:04
asacso if i look in the connection editor i see all the icons that would be used in tray (minus vpn bug)15:05
mac_vasac: hmm....  the only problem is now , the icons on the panel are greyscale... but would that suite the tabs?15:06
asacwell. thats the consequence imo.15:06
mac_vthats  , the problem15:06
asacsame icons15:06
mac_vexactly!15:06
asacand as i said thats a feature15:06
mac_vif the icons are differnt labels , we could make color ones for those15:07
mac_vbut similar to the panel15:07
asaccode base wise that means that you have to duplicate all icons for try and editor15:08
mac_vasac: the icon already exists... not a new icon15:08
mac_vit is just not used :(15:08
asacit means the icons are decoupled15:08
asacso themeres can mess this up arbitrarily15:08
mac_vasac: just because others might mess it up... do we not do this :(15:09
asacyes. but code base would be special cased just because we want a greyscale thing in the tray15:09
asacbut i will think about it.15:10
mac_vasac: actually the code base is wrong... :( .. pls consider it15:10
asacall this needs to be done upstream too if its done15:10
asaccode base isnt really wrong. you cannot say that all apps should use different icons15:11
asacfor instance15:11
asacor if you use the same icon at different places you should use differnt names15:11
asacjust because some themer might want to change a icon you ment to be the same everywhere to be different at some places15:11
asacfeels a bit like a lack of gtk theme feature15:11
asaclike: remapping icon names for certain widgets15:12
mac_vwhy i said wrong is .... the editor using nm-device-* is correct... but the tray should not do that , only for the wired , if it is doing so , it should do same for all tray icons15:12
asaci know that you want it to use different icons15:12
asacbut i dont understand the reasoning15:12
asacwhy shouldnt it use nm-device icons if it displays the main device status there?15:13
mac_vthe reason is > the wired label is not consistent with the labels in the tray , it could have just been a symlink to the device icon15:14
asaci dont understand what that means15:14
mac_vhmm...15:14
bdrungasac: ${uploaders} would probably not work15:15
asachow is it not consistent? the one in tray is nm-device-wired. the -signal icons are special and should have been named nm-device-wifi-signal... or something15:15
asacbut that wouldnt help you15:15
asacas the icons used are still the same everywhere15:15
mac_vwhen we label icons... all icons of the same location have the same name , but different appends.. so it makes life easy for all... when one icon uses a different label it is the odd one out15:17
mac_vasac: so the tray icon for wired should hav been "nm-device-wired-active"15:18
mac_vand for the disconnected it should have been "nm-device-wired-disconnected"15:19
asacthere is no disconnected icon15:19
asacwe only have device icons15:19
asacand no-connection15:19
asacand a few signal strength for wifi15:20
asacthose should be renamed as i already said15:20
asacto nm-device-wifi-signal-xxx15:20
asacbut i understand what you mean ... i think15:20
mac_vyeah... but now wireless has its own discaooected icons15:20
asacand i think i might be able to at least make a point upstream now15:20
asacmac_v: right. thats atm just accidentially ;)15:21
asaci mean: the purpose was not to have different icons for tray and editor15:21
mac_vthe network.. uses a huge load of icons :(15:21
asacbut just to have signal icons ;)15:21
asacbut i think i can argue upstream that the tray is not a simple device icon15:22
asacbut rather a device icon with status indication15:22
mac_v\o/15:22
mac_vthat would be great15:22
asacespecially now that we will land different signal strength for wwan15:22
asaci can try to use that as a vehicle to clean this model up15:22
mac_v;)15:22
asaccannot promiss it of course :)15:23
mac_vasac: when will this clean up be discussed ?15:23
asacbut i am a bit optimistic15:23
mac_v;)15:23
mac_vie: >could it land before karmic?15:24
asaconce i start working on the signal strength for wwan15:24
asacthats hopefully during beta freeze already15:24
asacyes ... so if i can convince him then i assume it would land15:24
asacbefore15:24
asacbut time is not really long before release15:24
mac_vyeah :(15:24
asacand the more i start doing lengthy discussions the less time we have to fix real bugs15:24
asaclike modem regressions etc.15:24
mac_vasac: could we make the change in our end... for now ;)15:24
mac_vif dicsussions dont go well ;)15:25
asaci wont do that if there is no chance of landing it upstream.15:25
asacbut first we have to hear the arguments15:25
asaci wouldnt be too pessimistic15:25
asacin case discssion shows that he is in general for this cleanup then we can prepatch it15:25
mac_v:) that would be nice15:26
mac_vasac: thanks for considering this....15:28
asacsorry for being so slow ;)15:28
asacunderstanding your point15:28
mac_vnah.. i find it hard to type my ideas ;p15:29
mac_videas/point15:29
asacmac_v: so expect that there will be use for nm-device-wwan-active (for modems that dont have signal feature) and nm-device-wwan-signal-xx15:30
asace.g. dont get busted if suddenly the wwan icon needs signal strength15:30
mac_vsure thats no prob15:30
asacmac_v: the greyscale wifi signal strength has imo too tiny bars ... did you consider to make them one point bigger?15:31
asacits not really easy to recognize the strenght15:31
mac_vasac: yeah , but that didnt turn out well :/ ... also the colors are now corrected to make them dark15:31
mac_vthe problem was , we never expected Ubuntu to use Humanity as the default theme...15:32
mac_vand UNR wanted the icons light15:32
mac_vso hence the icons were light15:32
mac_vnow we are making 2 themes ;)15:32
asacprob is that we wanted to make the icons for no active APs insensitive like: http://people.canonical.com/~asac/nm08-applet/nm08-wifi-connected-final.png15:32
asacbut thats hardly recognizable with the new icons15:33
asacso i had patch that sensitive part out15:33
asac(thats an old screenshot ... so dont take everything for granted)15:33
mac_vasac: its not prob... you could have mentioned it earlier ;)15:33
asacwell.15:33
mac_vor even now if you want a new icon is not a prob15:33
asacthats landing as we speak ;)15:33
asaci dont want a new icon, but rather one that is recognizable if its set to "insensitive" in gtk15:34
mac_vah15:34
asacif thats too hard ... then i can try to get that out of upstream15:34
asacanyway. i am out now again ... but was good to talk about ... so see you monday15:36
mac_vasac: bye .. ;) thanks again15:36
BUGabundohey guys16:04
BUGabundoasac: I agree with you ! the heart sucks :)16:05
BUGabundoasac: fta: I also solved most of my FF 3.7 probs and crashs16:08
BUGabundodarn hard too16:08
BUGabundostupid Xmarks add on16:08
BUGabundoit would only crash FF *after* it tried to login to their servers16:08
BUGabundothat's why it was to hard to track down16:08
mac__vBUGabundo: heart will be fixed soon ;)16:32
BUGabundoYAY16:32
=== mac__v is now known as mac_v
BUGabundobbl. now time to have some fun :P #nortweeters17:16
