CobaltHello. I'm using Firefox 3.5.x from the Ubuntu daily build PPA. However, it defaults to using Qt rather than GTK. I've seen no options to choose one over the other, there are no real indications on the web either. Also, there does not appear to be any different packages for one or the other. I have installed the gnome-support .debs, to no avail. Any pointers please?12:59
CobaltSorry, if I appear to be cross-posting, I was just informed of the existence of this channel.12:59
av`Cobalt, how do you know it's using Qt?13:08
Cobaltav`: My Qt apps look the same as Firefox. My GTK apps render their widgets differently. Also, different font rendering.13:09
av`I never had this problem and I use firefox since ages13:11
av`Cobalt, asac should be able to help you13:11
av`I'm leaving13:11
CobaltOkay. I'll hang around in the channel, and ask again later.13:11
av`great :)13:11
asacCobalt: not sure what you mean with Qt13:20
asacffox uses gtk13:20
Cobaltasac: I'm looking for a screenshot I made when I first used Shiretoko. Gimme a minute.13:20
eagles0513875hey asac13:21
asachi eagles051387513:21
eagles0513875how goes things13:22
eagles0513875im sure your swamped finishing up stuff for release13:22
asaci stopped working directly13:22
asacdo planning for lucis and ISO testing13:22
Cobaltasac: http://www.pastehere.com/PasteImages/mqednt.jpg13:25
asacwhats the problem with that?13:26
asaclooks normal to me13:26
Cobaltasac: Look at the menu bar. The rendering on the Firefox (maximised) window is different from Shiretoko and VLC. VLC definitely uses Qt, and Shiretoko looks pretty much the same.13:26
eagles0513875asac: let me know when i can begin helping you guys wiht lucid work :)13:27
eagles0513875will work on stuff for lucid happen after uds13:27
asacCobalt: maybe you are using the gtk-qt widget engine13:27
asacbut from the looks of it i cant tell13:28
asacthat screen does not ahve any real widget13:28
asacthat would allow to cmprae13:28
Cobaltasac: No, the opposite. I'm using the patch they made for Qt to use GTK settings. I'm on Hardy, by the way.13:28
Cobaltasac: And I made sure that gtk-qt engine is not installed, because they said the two weren't compatible.13:28
asacso yeah13:28
asacso qt looks like gtk then13:28
asacimo all is fine there13:29
asacwould need real side-by-side comparison of buttons etc. also you could change qt theme13:29
asacand see if vlc changes while ffox stays13:29
CobaltWell, there is no big difference, but it does look different. It's just that Qt's font rendering is somewhat slightly less pretty than GTK at this point, and I was just wondering what was going on. It's nothing major. But I still want to know kinda thing.13:29
Cobaltasac: Let me change the Qt themes.13:30
asacyeah. but for me it looks ok. good to know that qt apps now adapt so nicely to gtk desktops13:32
asacin the past it usually was only the other way around13:32
Cobaltasac: It's a bit of a mix and match. Font rendering is still aberrant. Widgets look like GTK's. Would there be any reason why the menu bar and other dialog fonts would not follow GTK's settings?13:36
Cobaltasac: http://pastehere.com/PasteImages/ypmslu.jpg13:37
asacfont problems exist13:37
asacbut is unrelatred to qt13:37
asacits a bug in fffox/cairo interaction13:37

CobaltThanks again. :)13:40
asac13:43
Cobaltasac: Thanks again, I applied both workarounds, messing with /etc/fonts had some minimal changes, changing the hinting style in .fonts.conf did the trick. :)14:22

jcastrohey asac, on amd64 why do we use nspluggin wrapper?16:09
asacbecause thats the only viable solution available16:11
asac64-bit is not final and as such we have no way to keep up any kind of security support16:12
asacalso we have not stable URL for that because we must not put that in the partner repo16:12
asacif you read all the bugs you will notice that 64-bit isnt really the cure for everything16:13
asacmost folks think it is, but there are loads of users in the bug that say its crashing more often and then go back to our -installer16:13
asacin the bugs16:13
asacbut even if 64-bit would be same quality as 32-bit i wouldnt go for it until we can provide proper support16:14
dtchenthe 64-bit bear is...a bear.16:23
dtchenit requires at least twice the maintenance, but it's the only kludge possible currently ;(16:23
asacwell16:24
asacfor me nspluginwrapper works well16:24
asacsometimes with compiz you get mouse clicks getting dropped16:24
asacand maybe it sometimes crashes the wrapper16:24
asacbut usually i can use all sites ;)16:25
jcastroasac: ok I was just wondering, thanks16:46
asacwelcome16:46
asacjcastro: so the empathy crash is compoletely gone for you?16:47
jcastroyeah16:47
jcastroI can actually use it now16:48
asachehe16:48
dtchennspluginwrapper is another good stress test16:50
dtchenit reliably exposes bugs in video and audio stacks16:50
asacdtchen: because of the many crashes while pushing streams to audio stack?16:57
dtchenasac: well, it requires tight alignment between the host's stack and ia32-libs17:01
dtchenbut yes, conceivably if that alignment is perfect, it's a good measure of the host's latency processing17:01
dtchenand that's all sorts of pain -- hardware, linux, alsa-lib, pulse, alsa-plugins, ..,.17:02
micahg asac, flash on hardy seems broken17:25
asacmicahg: in what way?17:28
micahgwell, for sure the d/l link for the backports is broke17:28
micahgI need to check -updates17:29
micahgno, -updates is still working17:31
micahgI guess backports isn't officially supported, right?17:32
asacok17:32
asacnot sure what is in -backports17:32

asacfolks eagerly moved to amd6417:33
asacto 64-bit17:33
asacand then we backed that out17:33
asacor something17:33
asaci think someone let something in, which shouldnt have been in17:34

asacdont we have flash 10 now?17:34
micahgyes17:34
asacok so its void ;)17:34
asaci just cant remember the full story ;)17:35
asacmaybe a bit later today now that this bucket was reopened in my brain17:35
micahgbut I guess because of SRU, it can't be released to Hardy which had 9?17:35
asachmm17:35
asaci think there are other issues17:35
asacmaybe it was konqueror exploding or something17:36
micahgwell, it was a beta back then17:36
micahgwell, here's the current problem, the URL in the old backports package is broke, so do I just tell the user to install the version from -updates which is a later version anyways, or open a hardy backports task to fix the link to point to the latest flash 9 or both?17:38
asacmicahg: isnt the -backports version lower than what is in -updates?17:38
asacwhy would useres still bump into that package?17:38
micahgyes and no, the ubuntu version is higher, but it serves a lower flash version17:39
asacoh shit17:39
asacwhat a mess17:39
* asac is slow today17:39
micahgyep :)17:39
micahgapparently no one caught it when the security update was done last year17:39
asacok so we need to update flash with the same version approach as the backport package17:39
asacbut still with 917:39
asac 9.0.246.0ubuntu1    updates, security (multiverse)   12 weeks ago17:40

asacotherwise we wouldnt hav gotten that update i guess ;)17:40
micahgwow, yeah, so 3 months ago17:40
asactogether with the flash 10 updates17:41
asacso yes. target the bug that complains about that brokenness to hardy and mark it as hardy-updates17:42
asacits high17:42
micahgshould hardy-updates or backports?17:42
asacand then preparte the debdiffs and let me know17:42
asacmicahg: no. hardy-updates ... and -security17:42
asacotherwise we will have to update -backports forever17:42
micahgso we're going to bump the -updates version in the same manner as the backports so 10...really917:42
asacyes17:42
micahggot it17:42
asacthat should be higher and then we can just keep it17:43
asacand make a FAT note in the changelog why thats needed etc.17:43

micahg:( no hardy-updates milestone17:43
