rickspencer3if I alt  tab and start going through window00:00
rickspencer3then I shift control alt tab, it goes backward00:00
rickspencer3so I changed /apps/compiz/plugins/staticswitcher/allscreens/options/prev_all_key00:01
Amaranthhrm, that doesn't happen here00:01
rickspencer3to <shift><alt>tab and it works now00:02
Amaranthoh yeah, did the ubuntu2 package fix your focus issues?00:02
rickspencer3gege00:02
rickspencer3ok, so basically it looks like prev_key and prev_all key are reversed in gconf00:03
rickspencer3yes, I confirmed that the focus issue is fixed00:03
rickspencer3thanks a million for that00:03
Amarantheh, I just pointed upstream to the area where the problem was00:03
rickspencer3well, it was a great service the users00:04
rickspencer3thanks00:04
rickspencer3and I'm happy to have my alt-shift-tab back as well :)00:04
rickspencer3so in summary, I change prev_all_key to alt-shift-tab, and prev_key to alt-shift-control-tab ... and it works now00:05
rickspencer3I just edited it in gconf-editor00:05
Amaranthrickspencer3: and does it switch between windows on all workspaces?00:06
rickspencer3yes00:06
Amaranthso that's not right00:06
Amaranththey are switched then00:06
Amarantherr, aren't00:07
rickspencer3oops00:07
rickspencer3actually not00:07
Amaranthprev_all_key set to shift-alt-tab doesn't switch between windows on all workspaces?00:07
rickspencer3dang it00:07
* Amaranth is confused now00:08
rickspencer3they act differently depending on whether that little navigation window is up00:08
rickspencer3let me put it in the bug report00:08
Amaranthyeah, staticswitcher seems broken in general except for alt-tab00:08
* Amaranth always uses scale or docky so never noticed00:08
rickspencer3I think the gconf keys are reversed in staticswitcher00:09
rickspencer3so, my gconf keys are set as above00:09
rickspencer3prev_all_key = shift-alt-tab, prev_key = control-shift-alt-tab00:10
rickspencer3case 1: shift-alt-tab - navigate all windows across all desktops backwards (as expected)00:11
Amaranthcompiz has a silly system for handling switchers so I'm never surprised to hear of problems00:11
Amaranthgtk-window-decorator draws the switcher but compiz controls how it draws it00:11
Amaranthall so compiz can avoid depending on cairo, gtk, glib, etc00:11
rickspencer3case 2: alt-tab alt-tab navigate two windows on current desktop as expected, shift-alt-tab goes back one, NOT EXPECTED because shift-alt-tab is supposed to be *all*00:12
rickspencer3I think it is probably a simple copy and past error in the code somewhere00:13
AmaranthThat's debatable, actually00:13
rickspencer3what's debatable?00:13
Amaranthif pressing shift when the switcher is already visible should apply to windows on all workspaces at that point00:13
Amaranthwe'd have to cancel the current switcher session and start over to handle that00:14
rickspencer3well, in any case .... what doesn't work is using the prev_key binding when that little window is invoked with the next_key binding00:14
rickspencer3right, I would expect what I did to *not* work00:14
Amaranthexcept that after resetting my compiz settings shift-alt-tab works fine for prev_key when the switcher window is up00:15
rickspencer3I would expect doing next_key, next_key, prev_all_key to *not* work00:15
Amaranthit didn't until I reset my settings though00:15
Amaranthrickspencer3: I would expect it to work like it does now00:15
AmaranthBest effort00:15
rickspencer3wtf00:15
rickspencer3I just switched the bindings back and it works now!00:15
AmaranthDid it all start working after you reset your settings too?00:16
Amaranthhaha00:16
* rickspencer3 gives up00:16
AmaranthWhat we really need to know is 1) Did this work correctly in 9.04? and 2) Does it work if you upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10?00:16
rickspencer3is there a bug # for a karmic bug?00:16
AmaranthIf something in karmic development caused it I'm not too concerned, really00:17
rickspencer3I am sure it did work, otherwise this wouldn't be so harded coded into my muscle memory00:17
AmaranthSo we just need to answer #200:17
rickspencer3yeah, it might work fine on a clean install00:17
rickspencer3or it might be idosyncratic to some update that I did a few days ago, etc...00:18
AmaranthOh I'm sure it'll work on a clean install but the upgrade case is what I'm worried about00:18
AmaranthRight, if upgrades through karmic caused it but it works fine if you upgrade from 9.04 now I'm not going to worry00:18
rickspencer3exactly00:18
rickspencer3there's a work around in any case, so I'm not too worried00:18
rickspencer3it feels so good to have my shift-alt-tab back00:19
rickspencer3:)00:19
rickspencer3thanks Amaranth ;)00:19

rickspencer3robert_ancell, apparantly there is some totem bug with playing DVDs?00:22
rickspencer3it was mentioned in the meeting this morning, but I'm not seeing the bug on the targeted list :(00:23

TheMusoheh00:27
awerickspencer3, seb128 also mentioned that many people can't use totem at all to playback DVDs... the UI just hangs.  It's unclear if there's a bug # though00:46
TheMusoawe: Could it be the bug I posted earlier?00:47
aweyou mean 456646?00:47
TheMusoawe: bug #435968. Its against vlc, but users in teh bug report issues with totem as well.00:48

awehmm, the description n mentions "open disc", whereas what I saw this morning was that totem hangs immediately on startup.. and then eventually throws up an error dialog00:49
aweso no, don't think it's the same issue00:50
TheMusook00:50
rickspencer3TheMuso, can you repro this?01:03
rickspencer3awe .. mplayer works perfectly, but totem can't really play it for me01:04
TheMusorickspencer3: Haven't tried either myself.01:04
awerickspencer3, did you do the dcss install routine?01:05
rickspencer3awe, yes01:06
awehmmm...01:06
rickspencer3so now mplayer plays it perfectly, but Totem sort of starts, then stops, then tries some more, etc...01:06
awewell, mplayer cheats01:07
rickspencer3oh?01:07
awei was under the assumption that the mplayer gang don't really play fair with respect to licensing & honoring IP01:07
rickspencer3ah01:07
awewhich is why it usually works01:08
rickspencer3well, it doesn't play without decssinstalled01:08
rickspencer3but I don't think it uses gstreamer01:08
awecorrect01:08
awedoesn't sound like a fun bug to chase...01:08
rickspencer3so I figure it's in the gstreamer libraries01:08
rickspencer3especially since robert_ancell can't repro it :(01:09
aweor PA...01:09
awe...just kidding01:09
rickspencer3robert_ancell, do you have a region encoded DVD?01:09
rickspencer3lol01:09
TheMusohat was... weird. Just had a lockup running the generic kernel.01:13
TheMusoCouldn't even get to a VT.01:13
TheMusoHad one today and yesterday, although yesterday was with the RT kernel, so I put it down to being that.01:13
robert_ancellrickspencer3, yes, region 401:14
rickspencer3ok, I have to go01:16
robert_ancellTheMuso, where would I find gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 in the archive?01:16
rickspencer3sorry01:16
robert_ancelli'm looking in pool/main/g/gst-fluendo-mp3 but doesn't exist01:17
robert_ancellrickspencer3, cya01:17
rickspencer3robert_ancell, I'll check back online in an hour or two and see if there is something you want me to try01:17
rickspencer3(or at least I'll try to ;) )01:17
TheMusorobert_ancell: Really don't know, I saw that get uploaded last night, it may still be in binary new.01:17
robert_ancellTheMuso, I actually want to track down the old version, any easy way of doing that?01:17

rickspencer3robert_ancell, hi04:12
robert_ancellrickspencer3, hey04:12
rickspencer3I saw you were able to repro the totem bug04:12
rickspencer3need me to test anything?04:12
robert_ancellrickspencer3, yeah it seems to come and go.  I can't pinpoint any particular thing to trigger it.  Changing the plugins didn't do anything, I thought it might be pulse for a while04:12
robert_ancellrickspencer3, so nothing you can try04:13
rickspencer3hmmm04:13
rickspencer3a good mystery04:13
rickspencer3do we have a "last known good"?04:13
robert_ancellwell, you can try "gst-launch playbin uri=dvd:" and "gst-launch playbin2 uri=dvd:" the latter seems to be worse than the former.04:13
robert_ancellI don't know of one, I haven't played a DVD for a long time04:14
robert_ancellIt's really odd that it doesn't ever occur on the titles but only on the content video04:14
rickspencer3do you think it worked in yesterday's build?04:15
rickspencer3I guess we could just start loading daily builds in VMs until we figure out when it broke04:16
rickspencer3robert_ancell, I got the same error you did04:16
robert_ancellI don't know, do you have some daily builds lying around?04:16

slomoseb128: that new pulse bug, problem is that playback simply stops at some point, right?09:37

seb128slomo, I don't know, I've not asked details out of what is written in the bug09:38
seb128slomo, the bug submitter do state that downgrading fixes the issue though09:38
seb128slomo, "Yes. Totem does this too. You can easily reproduce this, just drag an ogg and an mp3 file into the playlist pane and hit play. Totem will pause in "Playing" state once it switches to the mp3."09:40

seb128does it make sense to list things that can't be installed?10:34
seb128shouldn't those simply not be in the list?10:34
mvogood question, for some stuff it does IMO, e.g. we can show that we have acroread but that its not available on amd64 (just a example) so that people know it there for some people10:35
mvofor others it makes much less sense (all of universe)10:35
mvoif there is no way to easily enable universe10:35
seb128I'm not sure I agree that it's nice to show to people that acroread is there and they can't get it ;-)10:36
seb128I expect most people just want to see what they can get10:36

hyperairis there a way to stop gpm from raising my screen brightness whenever it detects that i'm not idle?10:39
seb128I'm wondering how many translation team know about it10:40
hyperairi manually stick it to 0, but it keeps raising it back to 90.10:40
seb128the livecd has only 2 translations for it10:40
hyperairthis is getting quite annoyin10:40

seb128I just hate how g-p-m handle backlight and screen dimming since hardy10:42
dpmhmm, seb128, where does the "Downloading" string you are mentioning appear? It might make sense that I point translators to it if it's very visible, they've got time until tomorrow if the translation goes into the langpacks10:43
seb128dpm, in software-center when installing something10:43

mvois that not tracked automatically?10:45
mvooh?10:45
seb128mvo, it's in 2 langpacks on the current iso10:46
seb128it's just that probably no translation team knows about it10:46
seb128so it didn't get translated10:46
seb128it's hard to know that you have to translate system components for them I guess10:46
seb128the launchpad interface doesn't make obvious to spot those10:46
dpmmvo, aptdaemon is part of the language packs10:47
seb128mvo, https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/aptdaemon/+pots/aptdaemon10:48
seb128mvo, see, it's very few locales10:49
mvohm, I'm confused - my system is updated, language-pack-gnome-de is installed yet its not in /usr/share/locale-langpack/de/LC_MESSAGES/ - are not all of them updated yet? or am I just overlooking something?10:49
seb128mvo, there is no german on this webpage10:50
seb128mvo, it's not translated in german?10:50
mvoaha, indeed10:50
mvoa shame10:50
mvosorry for the noise10:50
dpmmvo, np, I'll point translators to it10:51
seb128dpm, thanks10:51
dpmmvo, in addition to the LP page seb128 is pointing out, we've got a "include translations in language packs" checkbox in the template admin page. We normally check it, unless it is an exception.10:51
mvodpm: thanks10:51
dpmmvo, and if anyone spots something which is not in langpacks but it should (or the other way round), you can just ping ArneGoetje or myself (or send an e-mail to the ubuntu-translations-coordinators@ list)10:52
seb128dpm, is there any work being done to make easier to know for translators what they need to work on?10:53
seb128I expect that one has not been translated because that's not a software and people didn't know it was to translate10:53
seb128hum10:56
seb128none of the language-selector downloading screen strings are translated10:56
seb128mvo, ArneGoetje: ^ known issue?10:57
seb128it's weird it seems to be a synaptic dialog10:57
mvothose should be synaptic10:57
mvothat is indeed odd10:57
dpmseb128, from the LP Translations team side there will be no changes to the templates list apart from in the filters (to be able to see untranslated strings across templates, which will be quite useful) and perhaps showing more translations per page. An improvement already is the personal translators dashboard, where people can see translations which might need their attention. From the community side there is an ongoing effort to better prioritise th10:57
dpme list of templates, so that the highest priority templates appear first on the list (this functionality has been working for a while, but we are working on setting the bulk of priorities)10:57
seb128dpm, ok, thanks10:58
seb128mvo, it's translated in synaptic itself though10:59
seb128mvo, so it's probably an issue on how language-selector call it or something10:59

davmor2chrisccoulson: Have you got a usb to usb connector cable?  If so try using that.  I found it helped in lower signal areas11:15
dpmmvo, a couple of questions for when you come back: is aptdaemon's upstream Ubuntu? and Synaptic? I'm just asking to let translators know whether they can translate directly in LP or should also take care of forwarding translations somewhere else.11:16
chrisccoulsondavmor2 - it's using USB already. the issue is probably that there is too much noisy equipment on my desk which interferes with either the 3G signal or corrupts the USB11:19

seb128yes12:50
seb128it's less tested at least we never installed it12:50
mvoI would have thought its the better one coming from fluendo etc12:50

seb128well maybe they fixed it and it's all good12:51
seb128but I would not change that the day before rc and trust it to work better without testing12:51
seb128it has bitten quite some users in the past who installed it12:51
mvohmmmmm12:52
mvoso the easiest fix is to break it again I guess12:52
mvoit was fixed becaus eof bug #41932112:53

kenvandineasac, did a recent change in firefox start dynamically adding bookmarks and changing them from time to time?14:00
kenvandinelike news stuff?14:00
asacseb128: well ... wasnt sure if all those are known to be empty/complete/semi-complete14:00
asackenvandine: me?14:00
asackenvandine: feels like only bindwood would cause that ;)14:00
kenvandinehehe14:00
kenvandinewell, it is killing bindwood14:00
kenvandinespamming it14:00
kenvandinei think14:00
asachmm14:00
asackenvandine: maybe its an infinite loop thing?14:01
kenvandine'World on a stage'","value":"news.bbc.co.uk/go14:01
kenvandinethat kind of stuff14:01
kenvandineand they are in my toolbar14:01
asaclike: bindwood changes bookmarks ... gets back "boomark-changed" ,,, modifies etc.14:01
kenvandinemaybe14:01
kenvandinebut i am wondering what creates these14:01
kenvandinethey aren't in my bookmarks.html14:01
asacfirefox doesnt touch your bookmarks afaik14:01
kenvandinethey are all bbc.co.uk14:02
kenvandinehumm14:02
asacwell.. i am pretty sure firefox doenst touch them14:02
asacfirefox copies the default bookmarks on first start in your profile14:02
asacand doesnt change them afterwards14:02
kenvandinei have 122 of them and they aren't in bookmarks.html14:02
asacthats why we cannot change bookmarks for users a-posterioir14:02
kenvandinei see14:02
asackenvandine: live bookmarks?14:02
kenvandineyeah14:02
kenvandinelooks like it14:02
* kenvandine has never used those14:02
asacfirefox has bbc as the default live bookmark14:02
asacmaybe bindwood cannot deal with them :/14:03
kenvandineoh... was that turned off before?14:03
asackenvandine: no. firefox always had a bbc folder in the toolbar by default14:03
asacthats a live bookmark (aka rss feed)14:03
kenvandinehumm... i never did... i always had like 2 in the toolbar14:03
kenvandineoh... wait14:03
asackenvandine: the default is called "Latest headlines"14:04
kenvandineso it was like a single entry right that you could expand?14:04
asacits not called "BBC" ... thogh its bbc14:04
* kenvandine wonders if bindwood syncs that then makes it permanent14:04
asacprobably14:04
kenvandinesigh14:04
asaci would think if you go through bookmarks on a chrome level14:04
asacthey will look like normal bookmarks14:04
asacjust change often14:04
kenvandinei think it might have had a single entry before and i never paid attention14:04
kenvandinenow syncing is suddenly working and it is going nuts :)14:05
asackenvandine: not sure what you mean by single entry .... maybe start with a fresh profile and without bindwood. the "Latest headlines" thing on the toolbar there is an rss feed14:05
kenvandinefirefox takes like 10m to start and during startup there are tons of new bookmarks added to bindwood14:05
asacyou can hit "reload" etc.14:06
asacto auto get latest14:06
kenvandineyeah, i just did that14:06
kenvandinein a vm14:06
asacgood ;)14:06
asacnow try with bindwood and see whats going on14:06
kenvandinethere is a single button in the toolbar that says "Latest Headlines"14:06
asacyeah14:06
kenvandinebindwood is adding them all to the database14:06
asactere should also be something like "Most Visited" ... or "Smart Bookmarks"14:06
kenvandinedamn!14:06
asaci guess Most Visited is also somewhat dynamic14:06
kenvandinethis is a bad bug14:06
asacyes14:06
kenvandineyeah, there is a special case for that14:07
asacif its what i think its a bad bug14:07
* kenvandine lights fires14:07
kenvandineit is... almost certain14:07
asacwould have to check the code to see whats done14:07
asacalso you could compare the weave code14:07

dpmasac, re: finding out the language codes we have language packs for, I'm sure there are better ways to do it, but this might give you an idea, for example:14:18
dpmwget -O - http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic/main/source/Sources.gz | zgrep ^Package: | cut -f2 -d' ' | awk '/language-pack-[^kde|gnome].*-base/' | less14:18
dpm(excuse any regex mistakes :) )14:18
asacdpm: right. but does presnce of a package mean a) you can select the language in language selector .... and b) will the language be present, like LANG will be set to LANG_COUNTRY like you selected14:19
=== jono_ is now known as jono
asacanyway ... i will check. maybe ArneGoetje knows if there are potentially empty langpacks shipped etc.14:19

asackenvandine: one last thing ... gwibber has problems with avatar display ... have you seen that? ... most avatars appear for a moment and then disappear, some leave artifacts14:25

kenvandineasac, i will forward you the mail14:49
asacfeels like it could be a messy thign14:49
asackenvandine: thanks14:49
seb128rickspencer3, dvd playing doesn't work out of the box due to lack of legal codecs to play those14:49
rickspencer3seb128, well, OEM installs add the necessary codecs14:50
jcastrokenvandine: I've asked pedro to do a gwibber hugday post-release but pre-UDS to get our house in order14:50
rickspencer3I think it's important that OEMs can pre-install karmic if they want, and that it works14:50
seb128rickspencer3, is that also an issue using the fluendo codec that oem has?14:50
rickspencer3seb128, I don't know14:50
seb128me neither14:50
rickspencer3hmm14:50
rickspencer3let me follow up14:50
seb128anyway on my list of bugs but gstreamer is not an easy codebase14:51
seb128and we don't have any gstreamer hacker14:51
rickspencer3mmm14:51
rickspencer3maybe there's an "actually work" setting in gconf that we need set :P14:51
seb128in fact we have several annoying gstreamer issues14:52
kenvandinejcastro, great14:52
rickspencer3seb128, ok, I asked someone to follow up and test it in an OEM per-install scenario with their codec14:54
rickspencer3seb128, also, I degraded it to medium because it works with VLC14:54

seb128I hate you too launchpad14:55
seb128mvo, ok it was weird here too, it worked after restarting it14:55
rickspencer3seb, right for the first one, i did not repro it, but if VLC is giving issues, then the workaround is not working14:55
seb128rickspencer3, in any case testing from other people and team would be welcome14:56
rickspencer3seb128, what happened14:56
rickspencer3?14:56
seb128I'm tracking those issues and talking upstream but I'm not a gstreamer hacker14:56
rickspencer3this seems to have started a couple of days ago14:56
seb128and I've the feeling it would take days to understand the codebase14:56
rickspencer3but I couldn't see what was updated that would have introduced these14:56
seb128rickspencer3, which one?14:56
seb128the "no sound" one?14:56
rickspencer3ug, yes, that one too14:58
seb128rickspencer3, the sound issue is due to recent gst-plugins-good backports, upstream identified the commit which create the issue14:58
rickspencer3it seems that video playback really fell over recently14:58
seb128I'm waiting to see if they fix it or I will just drop this change after rc14:58
seb128dvd is probably less recent14:59
rickspencer3*sigh*14:59
seb128I downgraded to some weeks old versions and still get the issue14:59

rickspencer3so this has been there for weeks, potentially?15:00
seb128yes15:00
rickspencer3oh well15:00
rickspencer3it is what it is15:00
seb128mvo, I can confirming the issue using german15:00
rickspencer3let's crack this nut, it's an important scenario15:00
mvoseb128: what steps do I have to take to reproduce?15:00
seb128mvo, what I do is boot CD, start language selector from the menu, tick the box on the right to use same settings, click install button, select german, select dictionnaries, install15:00
seb128already when selecting the dictionnaries it displays "1 to install" not translated in the corner15:01
mvoseb128: ohhh, I think i know the issue. there is way from the app to override the synaptic progress string (instead of "download packages" it will do "downloading language support")15:01
mvoso its a language-selector bug afterall15:02
mvoironic that its having problems with languages15:02
seb128yeah...15:02
seb128mvo, want me to open a bug?15:02

mac_vedit-delete rather20:28
dobeyedit-delete is for editing images/documents/whatever, and list-remove is for things that are lists (list of rss feeds, contacts, etc...)20:30
mac_vdobey: so the use of delete icon in the appearances preferences is wrong  , right? since the window shows a list of themes/icons/20:31
mac_valso the empathy contact manager uses the edit-delete icon :(20:32
dobeywell, it's "Remove" for the wallpapers20:33
dobeywell20:34
mac_vdobey: yeah that one is right, but the rest ).. themes) and in the customize the icon is delete...  maybe this could be a bit clearer > http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html also the device names are not updated20:35
dobeythe themes thing delete (or more likely "move to trash") is probably better, since it is actually deleting something from the filesystem20:35
dobeywhat device names are not updated?20:35
mac_vdobey: but deleting the theme does not move it to trash. it just deletes it permanently ...20:37
mac_vdobey: the devices mentioned here > https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=506532#c620:37

chrisccoulsonAmaranth - if I open several gnome-terminal windows and then save my session when I log out (so that the terminals are restored on my next session), will compiz restore the positions of the windows correctly if each of them have a unique WM_WINDOW_ROLE property (they all have the same SM_CLIENT_ID)? or does it use some other property to identify the windows?20:46
