TheMusopitti: Test/demo plan added for gnome-speech replacement. Please let me know if this needs to be fleshed out more.02:49
Amaranthmac_v: someone fixed my bluetooth icon for me on the forums, they made it into a gray bluetooth symbol with no circle or anything around it04:47
Amaranthjust the symbol04:47
Omen20hi, could someone help me understand /dev better? I was wondering how u know which is what drive05:16
Omen20I see sda and sda1 and so forth and im not sure which is my 160GB SATA drive05:18
mac_vAmaranth: do you have the link...? i change the icons to the monochrome one ,but the menu is picking it up05:28
Amaranthmac_v: oh, he just modified my screenshot05:28
mac_v;p05:29
Amaranthmac_v: yeah, the bluetooth applet uses the same icons everything05:29
Amarantherr, everywhere05:29
Amaranthbut I think this icon will still work in the menu too if it is done like the screenshot05:29
mac_vyeah , so i just made a *black*tooth icon ;)05:29
AmaranthIt's just the bluetooth symbol but gray05:29
Amaranthright, like that05:29
Amaranthno background, etc, just the symbol05:29
mac_vdamn i had a monochrome icon but its not usable ... we are using gnome-bluetooth , right?05:33
Amaranthright05:33
Amaranthmac_v: I think the hicolor pack I sent you contained my lame version on the icon05:34
AmaranthI just loaded all the sizes up in gimp and desaturated :P05:34
mac_vright now  , that is what is possible ;) ... i desaturated the icon05:34
mac_vcould it be patched? ;) bluetooth is the only *system* app which is for now causing a problem :/05:35
Amaranthmac_v: you could probably patch gnome-bluetooth to use a different icon, sure05:36
Amaranthmac_v: iirc with the way the icon naming rules work if you named it gnome-bluetooth-panel it would fall back to gnome-bluetooth automatically in themes that didn't provide the new icon05:36
mac_van better label would be "bluetooth-active" and using the icon from the status folder,05:37
Amaranth*shrug*05:38
mac_v;p05:39
mac_vAmaranth: who is the manitainer of gnome-bluetooth?06:04
Amaranthmac_v: ebassi, iirc06:05
Omen20hi, is anyone running a SSD on their system?06:05
mac_vthanks06:07
hyperairdoes anyone know if sreadahead has been fixed yet?06:18
Amaranthmac_v: Does the battery icon gain color when it drops to a critical level?06:21
* Amaranth checks icons06:21
mac_vit is supposed to06:21
mac_vAmaranth: does it not change?06:21
AmaranthI don't know, I was just being lazy and asked instead of looking :P06:22
mac_v;p06:22
mac_vonly for the 20% it is red06:22
AmaranthI see06:23

* Amaranth wants to know how much of mvo's mail over the weekend was from me doing triage :)07:29
didrocksAmaranth: and how many survive spamming process too ;)07:30
Amaranthcompiz bug count broke the 400 and 350 levels in the same day07:31
Amaranththen I went and moved all still relevant bugs from the other compiz-related packages to compiz so they're easier to keep track over so it went back up to 367 or so07:31
Amaranthshould get back down below 350 by release though07:32
Amaranthmvo: sorry about the mail spam :P08:02
mvohey Amaranth - the compiz mailing list spam mails?08:05
Amaranthmvo: no, the large number of mails from launchpad for bug changes :P08:06
mvoAmaranth: oh, heh :) I have no dared to open my bugmail folder this morning yet ;)08:07
mvodid you do another huge triage round on the weekend?08:07
Amaranthmvo: Yeah, passed 400 and 350 the same day08:09
mvowoah!08:09
* mvo hugs Amaranth08:09
Amaranthback up above 350 though because I also went through all the plugin pack and such bugs and moved still relevant ones to compiz08:10

seb128asac, ie you can't rely on the icon cache to be uptodate without updating all the packages installing icons there12:50

rickspencer3seems ok now14:32
* kenvandine did too much work around the house14:32
tedgdidrocks: Good mornign!14:32
seb128tedg, speaking about silly stuff the bug we debugged until late the other day has been marked karmic blocker14:33
seb128tedg, seems to happen on liveCD at every boot14:33
kenvandineewww14:33
seb128the one about the session indicator crashing on dbus assertion14:33
Zdratedg, I aslo noticed that black line in notification area14:33
Zdrait is because of kenvandine indicator patch probably, I don't have that issue with upstream empathy14:34
kenvandineZdra, i bet it is related to how we don't show the icon14:34
tedgseb128: :(  Okay.14:34
kenvandinetedg, please file a bug :)14:34
kenvandineshould be an easy fix14:34
tedgZdra: I'm guessing it's because the icons is being hidden and not the status area container?14:34
seb128kenvandine, there is some bugs about that already I think14:34
kenvandineseb128, about the line? i haven't seen one14:35
seb128tedg, pitti was wondering why you don't rely on the .service to dbus active things too14:35
ZdraI noticed that the fast user switch applet's presence icon gets confused sometimes with hidden state14:35
Zdrabut at least now it shows presence and not always offline :D14:35
pittihey tedg14:36
kenvandineZdra, indeed :)14:36
tedgseb128: I am using the service file, I'm just requesting that it start.  We need it to send us signals of changes.14:36

Zdratedg, ah... I though it was using MC5 directly :p14:37
tedgpitti: It starts the process.  I guess we could just call a function on it, but at least from what I've read that seems to be the way you're supposed to start a process.14:37
pittidobey: oh, why can't you land changes in trunk?14:37
tedgZdra: Tried that, gave up and used libempathy. :)14:38
dobeypitti: we don't have separate stable branches yet14:38
Zdratedg, is that python code?14:38
Zdratedg, or C api?14:38
dobeypitti: so if it lands in trunk, it's going to end up in karmic14:38
tedgZdra: C14:38
pittitedg: seems I didn't stumble over this documentation then; in my own projects I just call the actual d-bus methods and let d-bus worry about activation14:38
chrisccoulsonpitti - i've seen that fail on the first call before14:39
pittidobey: so, what does the branch change?14:39
tedgpitti: Hmm, interesting.  I wonder if that function is buggy, and no one uses it, so no one has noticed before :-/14:39
chrisccoulsoneg, currently users-admin sometimes fails the first time you open it, even though system-tools-backends gets activated14:39
chrisccoulsonand then it works the second time you run it14:40
chrisccoulsonand i've seen it with other stuff i've worked on as well14:40
kenvandineseb128, ok i am pretty sure that is empathy causing it not update-notifier14:40
kenvandineit happens when you get an incoming message14:40
pittitedg, chrisccoulson: interesting; so this rather sounds like a proper d-bus bug then14:40
kenvandinejust starting empathy doesn't put the line up there14:40
* kenvandine is going to be in that part of the patch today and will look14:41
dobeypitti: a lot. splits the prefs UI into a separate program in $bindir, adds another launcher for System->Preferences to only launch the prefs UI, and opens the prefs UI if the client is already running and you run it again. and it adds the necessary little bit of dbus methods so that the prefs UI can signal the applet for changes14:41
chrisccoulsonpitti - i think that was also the underlying issue in bug 376145 too14:42

pittidobey: does it drop the Apps -> Internet -> Ubuntu One menu entry?14:42
dobeyno14:42
pittichrisccoulson: likely14:42
tedgseb128: kenvandine: pitti: So what's the criteria for stuff between beta freeze and beta release?  Crashers only, right?  I've got a fix for the messaging menu icons, it's pretty trivial, but I'm guessing it'll have to wait.14:42
pittidobey: but that one doesn't do anything..14:42
dobeyyes it does. it starts the applet, and takes you through the whole initial process of signing up/etc...14:43
dobeyone minute14:43
pittitedg: not "crashers only", but only changes which have a very low regression potential14:43
pittidobey: I don't see a reason why this and prefs can't be covered with one menu entry14:43
pittiotherwise one of them is always useless14:43
pittiif you didn't activate U1, then the Apps->Internet one doesn't make sense14:44
pittiand if you did, it starts automatically and it doesn't make sense either14:44
kenvandinepitti, yeah i said the same thing... it belongs in prefs and the one in the internet menu is useless :)14:45
tedgpitti: I of course think it's perfect :)  Here is the change  http://ur1.ca/cjpq  If you guys want it all make a release as it's in the auto* stuff.14:45
pittitedg: that looks like a build-time only change?14:46
pittitedg: oh, apparenlty not14:46
pittitedg: yes, it looks fine to me14:46
tedgpitti: It installs the icons in the right place.14:47

pittiyou don't see new messages coming in at all any more now14:47

mvoseb128: ok, I have a look14:55
seb128mvo, thanks14:55
dobeypitti, kenvandine: there's no other way to do the initial set up right now, and removing the internet entry is a LOT more infrastructure work14:55
pittidobey: but you are just adding a new prefs entry? this would certainly also configure whether or not to run it (now|on startup)?14:56
dobeyit doesn't configure when it gets run14:56
kenvandinepitti, that is the infrastructure changes dobey was talking about14:57
dobeykenvandine: no, the infrastructure changes are we have a web site with instructions that tell people to go to Applications->Internet->Ubuntu One, also14:57
pittibut ubuntuone-client-applet.desktop does nothing else than starting the applet14:57
pittiwhich can certainly be done by the prefs .desktop or prefs application as well?14:58
dobeyit doesn't make sense for the prefs app to start the applet14:58
kenvandinedobey, website can be changed..14:58
pittiand even worse14:58
kenvandinedobey, why?14:58
pittithe menu entry in apps starts more instances of ubuntuone-client-applet14:58
dobeykenvandine: yes, but it's not just landing a branch and we're done and everything is happy, it's a lot of work14:58
dobeypitti: no it doesn't14:59
* kenvandine still doesn't think u1 is an application you run... it is a service your desktop uses14:59
pittiit doesn't make sense to have more than one, and there's no visual feedback14:59
dobeypitti: it's uniquified via dbus14:59

pittiah, it seems to go away after a bit15:00
dobeywell yes, it starts and pokes dbus and then exits15:00
dobeyand prints out "Already running"15:00
dobey(on stdout)15:00
pittiso, as long as its unconfigured it shouldn't start15:01
pittiand if you configure/enable it, it should just start with the session15:01
pittiI still fail to see when users ever need to run that apps->internet thing15:01
dobeyphone...15:02
pittidobey: (for the record, the other chagnes in that branch are approved, see bug update)15:02
dobeypitti: running the applet from apps internet is how the user goes through the whole process of signing up for ubuntu one and associating the computer with their account15:04
pittidobey: so, for beta this is something we can live with and document, but isn't there any way the startup cuold be done by the prefs applet by final?15:06
pittiit'd be a shame to spoil the U1 experience by weird UI bugs like this15:06
dobeygoing to preferences to start an app doesn't make sense to me15:06
pittiit's not an app...15:06
pittiit's a service like tracker or gnome-settings-daemon15:06
dobeythen why is gwibber in Applications->Internet?15:07
pittiit has an app window and interaction, much like empathy?15:07
pitti(Disclaimer: I don't use/know gwibber, but I saw a screenshot)15:07
dobeybut it gets started at log-in after i set it up, and the main window is mostly hidden15:08
pittidobey: if U1 would pop up a main window like emphaty or gwibber when you select apps->internet->U1, that would make sense15:08
dobeyas i understand it, the majority of interaction with it for karmic is to be through the messaging indicator no?15:08
pittino, you need the actual app windows15:08
dobeypitti: it does15:08
pittiyou can't read/write messages through the indicator15:09
pittidobey: no, it doesn't15:09
pittinot always, anyway15:09
pittiif I select it here, it just does nothing15:09
dobeypitti: yes it does. the first time, it opens firefox, and in this branch, it opens the prefs.15:09
kenvandinedobey, that would have been true if DX was able to finish the session integration stuff15:09
dobeykenvandine: oh ok.15:09
kenvandinedobey, but for now you can't do much with it without a real client15:10
kenvandinebut u1 is really a service, not an app15:10
dobeywe don't have time to completely redesign the UI for karmic15:11
pittiwe don't need to15:11
pittiwe just need to change the prefs applet to start the service for you once, after you configured it?15:11
dobeyyou're confusing preferences with setup. they aren't the same thing15:12
pittiI know15:12
pittibut if it's not running, it'd show the thing that now appears in apps->internet15:12
dobeywhat would?15:12
pittiand if it's running, it would show the prefs instead15:12
dobeynow you're confusing me15:13
pittiwhat> system -> prefs -> u115:13
dobeywhy should opening a preferences dialog start a browser?15:13
* pitti gives up15:13
dobeywouldn't that seem a bit off?15:13
pittiwhy should the other menu entry do?15:14
dobeyif you opened a prefs dialog, and then all of a sudden a firefox window opened up ?15:14
pittiwhy have two menu entries if one will always be useless and confusing?15:14
dobeyit's not useless and confusing15:14
pittia non-working menu entry makes sense to you?15:15
dobeyit's not non-working15:16
kenvandinedobey, why doesn't gwibber need to open a browser window to auth facebook?15:16
kenvandinesame thing15:16
pittiit doesn't do anything for everyone who set up U1 before15:16
pittibut well, I already said that like 10 times15:16
kenvandines/doesn't/does15:16
dobeypitti: YES IT DOES15:17
kenvandinethe menu under internet is completely useless after the initial setup15:17
Amaranthkenvandine: Doesn't it just show it in the embedded webkit?15:17
dobeypitti: read the code in the branch linked on that bug!15:17
kenvandineAmaranth, well yes it does15:17
kenvandine:)15:17
kenvandinebut it opens a window and does something15:17
kenvandinesame ting15:17
kenvandinething15:17
kenvandinein fact, u1 could open an embedded webkit window to do the auth15:18
dobeynevermind15:18
kenvandinebut that could be the first thing you do in the preferences dialog15:18
dobeykenvandine: feel free to write the patch in the next 30 minutes then15:18
kenvandine:)15:18
kenvandinei am not saying that is important :)15:18
kenvandinebut it would be nice to be able to axe the launcher under internet15:19
dobeyand we can't just embed webkit15:19
dobeythat defeats the entire purpose of the user having a preferred web browsesr15:19
kenvandinesurely it is easy to determine if you haven't authenticated with u1 when opening the prefs dialog and spawn a browser15:19
kenvandinedobey, they would never know it is a browser15:20
dobeyit's not that easy15:20
dobeykenvandine: yes they would15:20
dobeykenvandine: authentication for u1 doesn't exactly work like it does on facebook15:20
Amaranthkenvandine: If you did that I'd have to login to launchpad again :/15:20
kenvandinehehe15:20
kenvandinedobey, i know the embedded browser bit isn't reasonable for right now15:21
kenvandinebut15:21
dobeyit isn't reasonable ever15:21
kenvandinedetermining if you have configured your account before, and if not doing what the launcher does now seems simeple15:21

pittilool: yes, the one that you specify in the crash db .conf (project = 'foo')18:00
* pitti hugs lool18:00
bratschepitti: Hi18:02
pittihey bratsche, how are you?18:02
bratschepitti: I'm supposed to talk to you about setting the gdm style.. I got it setup here locally, and wanted to see if my solution sounds okay to you.18:03
pittisure18:03
pittiwe need to get that in today, really18:04
pittior after beta (which isn't the end of the world, but well..)18:04
bratschepitti: My solution was to modify /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/metacity.desktop and gdm-simple-greeter.desktop to change their Exec lines to some .sh file that does this:18:04
bratscheGTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/HumanLogin/gtk-2.0/gtkrc metacity18:04
bratscheor GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/HumanLogin/gtk-2.0/gtkrc /usr/lib/gdm/gdm-simple-greeter18:05
pittihmm18:05
pittibratsche: can't the theme pacakage just install /var/lib/gdm/.gtkrc ?18:06
pitti(or wherever the default path in $HOME is)18:06
mclasenbratsche: why not set /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk-theme ? thats how it is supposed to work, at least...18:06
mclasenin gdms gconf db, or course18:06
bratschepitti: I thought kwwii or someone said that's not working anymore?18:06
pittibratsche: we can set gconf values for the 'gdm' user in the postinst, too18:06
seb128+1 for setting gconf keys in the gdm user config18:06
bratschepitti: Oh we can?  Becaues davidbarth also wants us to change the desktop background for the gdm user and I wasn't sure how to do that.18:07
seb128or copying a .gtkrc is the gdm user dir but that might be taken over by g-s-d and gconf keys18:07
pittibratsche: but for stuff which needs config files and not gconf, we could just install them into gdm's home dir (/var/lib/gdm)18:07
seb128pitti, there is no such things18:07
seb128background, theme etc are gconf keys as for the desktop config18:07
pittibratsche: btw, you don't need a shell script wrapper; you could just Exec=env foo=BAR program18:07
seb128that's a normal gnome-session running18:07
pittiseb128: right, so I'd guess18:07
pittiand we can just call gconftool for the gdm user in postinst and set them18:07
seb128pitti, yes18:08
bratscheWhere is gdm user's gconf stored?18:08
seb128that's what I suggested on the channel some days ago18:08
seb128bratsche, /var/lib/gdm18:08
pittibratsche: I thought I already said that to kwwii ("just give us the background and the gconf keys we should change")18:08
bratschepitti: Oh, okay.. then somewhere along the way we lost communication.  So davidbarth wants the background image set to the same one as xsplash's background.18:09
bratscheLet me find the key for the background..18:09
bratscheFor the theme the one we want is /usr/share/themes/HumanLogin/gtk-2.0/gtkrc18:10
bratscheAnd the key is /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk-theme (thanks mclasen!)18:11
bratschepitti: You want me to email you these?18:11
seb128bratsche, use the bug for those?18:12
seb128I will do some sponsoring later18:12
pittibratsche: please put them into a bug report; I need to leave soon for Taekwondo, and still need to sponsor something for kenvandine, so I won't get around to doing that one today any more18:12
seb128but for now I need to go for sport and dinner18:12
bratschepitti: Cool, have fun.18:12
seb128I can have a look maybe later18:12

=== d6g|away is now known as d6g
chrisccoulsonpitti - i just rebuilt system-tools-backends with a sleep(5) in between starting and grabbing the dbus name. with this, users-admin fails on every first run, even though s-t-b is activated18:52
chrisccoulsonsuggesting that dbus activation is inherently racy18:52
chrisccoulson(i know you've already disappeared for the evening) ;)18:52
=== d6g is now known as d6g|away
chrisccoulsonhmmmm, in the case of system-tools-backends, activation "fails" because it daemonize's before claiming the name on the bus19:12
didrockschrisccoulson: I don't see what this spawn an error (daemonizing before registering to dbus)19:15
chrisccoulsondidrocks - if you run something like "dbus-send --system --dest='org.freedesktop.DBus' --print-reply --type=method_call /org/freedesktop/DBus org.freedesktop.DBus.StartServiceByName string:"org.freedesktop.SystemToolsBackends" uint32:0"19:16
chrisccoulsonthen it returns with this error:19:16
chrisccoulson"Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 0"19:16
chrisccoulsonthis happens because the spawned process exits when it daemonizes19:17
chrisccoulsontricking dbus in to thinking that activation failed19:17
mac_vchrisccoulson: does the indicator-session's lock screen option work for you?19:17
mac_vsince a couple of days , it stopped working here :(19:17
chrisccoulsonmac_v - yes that works19:17
chrisccoulsonis gnome-screensaver running in your session?19:17
=== KenEdwards_lunch is now known as KenEdwards
mac_vyup , the screensaver is running19:18
mac_valso the screensaver activates , only this option form indicator session doesnt work :/19:18
didrockschrisccoulson: oh ok, you mean when the process is launched by dbus19:20
chrisccoulsondidrocks - yeah, that's what i meant ;)19:25
chrisccoulsonmac_v - do you use autologin?19:25
mac_vchrisccoulson: yes19:25
didrockschrisccoulson: make sense then :)19:25
chrisccoulsonmac_v - that's why it doesn't work19:25
mac_vaw :(19:25
chrisccoulsonif (gdm_auto_login) {19:25
chrisccoulsong_debug("\tGDM set to autologin, blocking lock");19:26
chrisccoulson;)19:26
mac_vwhat! why!19:26
chrisccoulsonprobably in case you have no password to unlock it again19:26
mac_vno fair :(19:27
mac_vmy  gpm doesnt work! properly and locking was my best option19:27
mac_vand not thats gone too!19:27
chrisccoulsonright, so i now understand why dbus activation fails for users-admin and system-tools-backends19:28
chrisccoulsonalthough, i don't know what relevance that has to anyone else having issues with activation19:28
chrisccoulsonprobably none!19:28
mac_vchrisccoulson: can i file a bug...? i almost always lock screen when i move aways from the system...19:29
mac_vaway*19:29
chrisccoulsonmac_v - you don't need to ask me if you can file a bug ;)19:29
mac_vchrisccoulson: i meant , would it be fixed or is it futile ;)19:29
chrisccoulsoni don't know19:29
chrisccoulsononly tedg knows that ;)19:29
mac_vgrr.... tedg  ;p19:30
tedgchrisccoulson: mac_v: We were probably over zealous with that, I'm not sure what the right answer is though.19:31
=== rickspencer3 is now known as rickspencer3-afk
mac_vtedg: surely... *very*19:31
chrisccoulsonme neither, i don't use autologin ;)19:31
mac_vtedg: filing a bug... hope it doesnt turn out like the always show indicator bug ;)19:32
chrisccoulsonif you're using autologin, is there any point in  locking the screen?19:32
tedgThe problem is that there is a pretty huge set of people with autologin where "Lock Screen" is roughly like "force power down computer" because that's what they're going to end up doing.19:32
tedgchrisccoulson: That too!19:33
tedgRebooting solves the "unlocking" problem with autologin.19:33
chrisccoulsontedg - perhaps the "lock screen" option should be hidden from the menu in this case?19:33
mac_vchrisccoulson: why not? why do i have to choose.? my system is always running 24/719:33
mac_vso when i'm away i lock screen19:33
chrisccoulsoni don't know what the answer is either really ;)19:34
mac_vchrisccoulson: ohno!19:34
tedgchrisccoulson: That's what I'm thinking.19:34
mac_vtedg: pls! no19:34
mac_vwhy does the solution to a problem always have to be removing the option :/19:34
tedgIf it's up 24/7 turning off autologin shouldn't be an issue :)19:34
mac_vyou guys are making me cry :(19:35
tedgIt seems like there is a usecase for turning off the screen though.  I'm curious if it shouldn't migrate from "Lock Screen" to "Turn off display"19:35
tedg(better wording though)19:35
mac_vfirst ... the only once auto-login , now no lock on auto-login,19:36
* mac_v life getting hard19:36
mac_vharder*19:36
chrisccoulsontedg - in my case, "Lock Screen" only locks my screen - the display never goes off here19:37
tedgchrisccoulson: Hmm, yeah.  I was thinking about that, but "Erase Desktop" seemed like a really bad idea ;)19:38
chrisccoulsonhaha, yeah, i think that would upset a few people ;)19:38
mac_vlol erase;p19:38
mac_vtedg: seriously... how many people have forgotten the password?19:40
mac_vit is used for most of the root priv19:40
tedgEveryone who doesn't have it written under their mousepad ;)19:40
mac_vlol! thats why have an easy password ;)19:41
tedgI'm not advocating getting rid of passwords, but I think especially people who are using things like UNR don't know them.19:41
mac_vtedg: then do it for UNR... why me = ubunutu19:41
mac_v;p19:42
mac_vtedg: also , now the session list has all the names of the users.. but when selecting it behaves like the new session menu only...19:45
mac_vie: selecting the different user , takes me to the login screen19:46
mac_vtedg: rather than preselecting the selected user and prompting for password19:46
tedgmac_v: Yes, we haven't figured out how to select a username in the new-gdm yet :(19:47
tedgmac_v: It may be another feature dropped in gdm-2.19:47
* tedg is really not loving the new gdm.19:47
mac_voh... no one is loving it either ;)19:48
mac_valmost every day there are 2 people asking where is the customization options for the gdm on u+119:48
tedgYup.  I was hoping it wouldn't be in Karmic, but eh.19:50
mac_vtedg: solution: by default , turn off the lock screen option when user has installed the system and selected autologin during install. and present the option in the login screen menu for re-selecting the lock screen option?19:54
mac_vs/login screen menu/ login screen preferences window19:54
tedgmac_v: I guess I'm unsure of what problem that solves.  I mean, there is still the security issue of having autologin.  And it still leaves the problem of someone unfamiliar with their password because they don't typically use it.19:56

mac_vtedg: an other ugly effect of inhibiting lock screen... the screensaver does not release immediately  , i have to wait until the screen fades fully into the screensaver to release it, this is when auto login is selected , but when i un-select auto login things work fine21:06
tedgmac_v: I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.21:07

mac_vtedg: when auto-login is selected > in a few mins on idle , the gpm kicks in , slowly fading out desktop into the screensaver. during this fade if i move the pointer , the screensaver does *not* inhibit... but i have to wait until the screensaver has started working. now when i move the pointer the svreensaver inhibits...21:16
mac_vbut when auto-login is not selected , i dont have this problem. even during the fade the screensaver inhibits21:17
tedgmac_v: I would have to say that is very unrelated to indicator-session :)21:17
tedgmac_v: That's probably a gnome-screensaver bug of some sort.21:17
