serialorderhi, id like to join you guys in maintaining the desktop packages and am looking at this (quite long) list here: http://piware.de/workitems/desktop/lucid/versions.html00:08
serialorderi am wondering what the policy is for the ones that are not the latest version in debian00:09
serialorderone could imagine that for those we just wait for debian to update and then import once they have done so00:10
chrisccoulsonserialorder - we don't have to wait for debian to update. we can update to the latest upstream version before debian does, or we can re-sync on the current debian version and update to the latest upstream version all in one go00:22
chrisccoulsonbut we're being quite conservative with which packages to update at the moment00:22
serialorderoh00:23
chrisccoulsonbecause we don't want to risk introducing features which are not likely to be finished properly when lucid is delivered00:23
serialordermight you suggest a package that would be acceptable for me to work on?00:23
chrisccoulsonseialorder - i haven't had a chance to look at the list yet, and i'm just about to go to bed. it's probably ok to do merges with debian for most packages, especially if the upstream versions are the same. but i'm not so sure about doing gnome 2.29.1 updates just yet00:25
chrisccoulson^^^serialorder (i spelt your name wrong there)00:26
chrisccoulsonmclasen - about the seahorse-agent crash - the X connection dying is actually a red-herring00:28
chrisccoulsonthe crash happens when exit() is called from any code path00:28
* mclasen thinks that atexit handler may be his fault, actually00:28
chrisccoulsonmclasen - it is00:28
mclasenbecause I complained  about the agent leaving tmpdirs behind00:28
mclasendid you reopen the upstream bug ? might be a good idea...00:31
chrisccoulsonmclasen - i haven't seen the upstream bug yet00:32
chrisccoulsoni left a comment here last night after i had a look at it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seahorse-plugins/+bug/429322/comments/3700:32
ubottuLaunchpad bug 429322 in seahorse-plugins "seahorse-agent assert failure: ERROR:iop-profiles.c:606:IOP_generate_profiles: assertion failed: (obj && (obj->profile_list == NULL) && obj->orb)" [High,Confirmed]00:32
chrisccoulsonit describes what I *think* is happening, but i haven't had time to look at it any more tonight00:32
chrisccoulsonmclasen - oops, i misread your earlier message "thinks that atexit handler may be his fault, actually"00:40
chrisccoulsoni read it as "thinks that atexit handler may be at fault, actually" when i replied "it is" ;)00:40
mclasenhttps://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=579738 is the bug you probably want to reopen00:42
ubottuGnome bug 579738 in Agent "seahorse-agent leaves behind its socket dir" [Normal,Resolved: fixed]00:42
chrisccoulsoni wish launchpad would not spam everybody each time a duplicate bug is reported01:21
chrisccoulsonthats not good for a bug wit over 100 duplicates01:21
Ngchrisccoulson: it's the equivalent of bugzilla mailing you when someone CCs themselves to a bug ;)01:45
Ng(ignoring that you can stop it doing that)01:45
chrisccoulsonyeah, it's really annoying01:46
chrisccoulsonespecially when people start sending "unsubscribe" messages and adding to the spam01:46

pittiGood morning08:28
didrockshello pitti :)08:30
didrocksseems that we will have to update all our branches (and that seb128 will have to upgrade his netwoork connection too)08:30
baptistemmgood morning gentlemen08:39
Amaranthnot so sure I want to switch compiz to having all the source in bzr08:45
Amaranthwould make it easier to update quilt patches but the only point I can see for having everything in bzr is 3.0 (bzr) source package format08:46
seb128hello there09:02
chrisccoulsonhi seb12809:03
huatsmorning09:04

seb128hey chrisccoulson huats pitti09:05
pittihuats: would you mind testing udev in karmic-proposed and give feedback on the bug report? so that it can move to -updates soon?09:05
huatspitti, Guten Tag09:06
huatspitti, sure will do it right now09:06
huatshello seb128 and chrisccoulson09:06

seb128I'm good, 3 days weekend again this week09:08
chrisccoulsonseb128 - i bet you're looking forward to that ;)09:08
chrisccoulsonmy weekend will be shorter than usual, as i have to work a full day today09:09
seb128sort of yes09:09
chrisccoulson(well, i need to work at least until all of my colleagues have gone home)09:09
seb128travelling on monday though so that will be a bit less relax09:09
chrisccoulsonit's quite a long journey too isn' it/09:10
seb128having to wake up quite early, to pack before09:10
seb128and I didn't prepare my specs, etc yet09:10
seb128yes, some 15 hours travelling09:10
seb128pitti, 2028 i386 bugs to retrace09:26
pittiseb128: hm, it seems it's going _up_?09:26

seb128pitti, 2181 89209:27
seb128those were yesterday's numbers09:27
seb128catching up slowly09:27
seb128pitti, could you stop restarting to hardy ones?09:28
seb128the load is 6 on the box09:28
seb128it would be faster to let only the karmic ones catch up now09:28
pittiseb128: hardy-amd64 is the one that processes all the python dupes, thuogh09:28
seb128oh ok09:28
seb128ignore me then09:28
pittiand the python ones should not cause much load; it's primarily LP communication09:28
pittiseb128: 6? hah, I've seen the box at 50 :)09:29
pitti(no fun to work on it then, though)09:29
pittiseb128: you know, I think I'll just change the cronjob to remove the lock09:29
seb128the brutal way09:29
pittiseb128: then we can let it catch up, and then investigate real breakage09:30
seb128but yes please do for the weekend at least09:30
seb128got some weird firefox issues09:30
seb128I untagged those09:30
seb128weird = binary not available09:31
seb128not sure if some directory changed or something09:31
seb128I didn't look into details09:31
seb128like it was installing firefox but still complain that the required binary was not there09:31
pittiseb128: oh, heck, no; cron job must not remove the lock files, otherwise they'd overlap and run in parallel09:32
pittiseb128: yeah, usually a previous microversion09:32
seb128good point09:32
pittiseb128: but I thought I already fixed that in karmic's apport09:32
seb128I though too09:32
seb128I will ping you next time it happens09:32

Laneythought I might have put you off by saying that I planned to sync it13:31
mptccheney`, did it look like this? http://grossmeier.net/files/stupid-error.png13:38
chrisccoulsonhmmm, there's a bug pattern for bug 429322, but it seems that users are still submitting them with apport13:48

mac_vmpt: ccheney`: Bug #42369414:28
ubottuLaunchpad bug 423694 in gnome-power-manager "session active, not inhibited, screen idle message" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/42369414:28
mac_vfor some the blanking it fixed  , but some get the message even with no blanking14:29
chrisccoulsonmac_v - are you saying that some people are experiencing other issues in addition to seeing this icon?14:30
chrisccoulsoni see the icon when i shouldn't see it, but there are no other issues14:30
mac_vchrisccoulson: in bug #397839 , users are still reporting blanking14:31
ubottuLaunchpad bug 397839 in gnome-power-manager "Screen randomly goes off in karmic" [Critical,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/39783914:31
chrisccoulsonhmmm, ok. i can't recreate that issue14:31
chrisccoulsonunder what conditions are they seeing blanking? does it blank when they are doing stuff, or just when they are watching a video (but not doing anything else)14:32
chrisccoulsonthat information is fairly important (i have to admit, i've not looked the whole way through the bug report yet)14:32
chrisccoulsonanyway, home time for me14:37
mac_vchrisccoulson: thats why i was saying the idle counter still has some mismatch, somewhere... initially , even after the xorg patch, i too was having blanking [during typing and such] but blanking was fixed for me . and still the icon was displayed. so i thought it might have been a problem where the icon is unnecessarily displayed.  But the blanking had not gone fully , but rather became rarer...14:37
mac_vnow , i have no blanking and now the icon is not displayed14:38
chrisccoulsonthat's strange. anyway, i've got to disappear now14:38
chrisccoulsonweekend, here i come!14:38
chrisccoulsonit might be my last weekend of freedom!14:38
* mac_v vanishes too ;)14:38
dpmpitti, ccheney` I was thinking about having a dedicated session on OO.o translations, but seeing that there is https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-lucid-openoffice already, do you think it might be a better idea to discuss translations in there as well instead?14:59
pittidpm: I defer to ccheney` for this; I'm fine either way; just let me know if you need a new session scheduled15:00
dpmthanks pitti15:01
dpmccheney`, what do you think^?15:01
ccheney`dpm: yea we could do it in that session i think, its just an informational session so won't take too long15:02
dpmthanks ccheney`, may I ask you or pitti to add a short note on translations on the summary as well? Or if you've got a wiki page for the spec, I can do that myself15:05
pittiit's just a blueprint so far15:05
* ccheney` in a meeting atm15:05

chrisccoulsonLaney - is your display dimming issue repeatable?18:02
chrisccoulsonmclasen - do you have any opinion on bug 428884? (ie, do you think this functionality should be added back to gnome-screensaver)18:05
ubottuLaunchpad bug 428884 in gnome-screensaver "gnome-screensaver --poke functionality does no longer inhibit screen blanking" [Unknown,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/42888418:05
mclasenchrisccoulson: there's a FIXME in the code that describes what needs to be done to make it work again18:10
chrisccoulsonmclasen - yeah, i was just wondering how to do it though. it seems that gnome-session and totem both contain some code which resets IDLETIME by simulating fake key presses, using xtest18:11
mclasenchrisccoulson: but as a general comment, idle handling is now in gnome-session, and inhibitors are the supported api to, well, inhibit things18:12
Laneychrisccoulson: not at will. I'll get back to you shortly when I get home18:12
Laneybrb18:12
chrisccoulsonmclasen - yeah, agreed18:12
chrisccoulsonbut some applications still rely on the old interfaces for now18:12
chrisccoulsonmclasen - i'm just wondering if gnome-screensaver should copy the send_fake_event function from gnome-session, or if there is a better way to do it?18:13
pittigood bye everyone, have a nice weekend!18:14
chrisccoulson(although, judging from the comment in gnome-session, i don't think there is a better way)18:14

kenvandineand471, i am not sure actually, never seen it18:44
kenvandinebratsche, ^^18:44
and471bratsche: what is the correct/desired behaviour for xsplash on a dual monitor setup?18:44
bratscheand471: At the moment I think it just puts itself on monitor #0, regardless of which monitor is the primary one.18:49
and471bratsche: yup, what SHOULD be the behaviour though/what will you work up towards having it do?18:49
bratscheand471: That was never defined in the requirements, but presumably it should be put on the primary monitor.18:50
and471bratsche: okay, what happens on the other monitor whilst this is happening?18:50
bratscheRight now it's drawn by gnome-settings-daemon, and it will continue to be until someone specifies otherwise.18:51
and471bratsche: its just that at the moment, it shows the desktop before xsplash has finished and so it doesn't look very slick18:52
and471and471: will it be a black screen in the future? or what are the plans?18:52
and471bratsche: ^^ sorry talking to myself18:53
bratscheThere's supposed to be a session on this at UDS, and I suppose people will have some thoughts there.  Right now there are no plans, I'm working on other stuff.18:53
and471bratsche: okay thankyou for you time :-)18:56
and471*your18:56
bratscheIf you have something specific in mind, let me know.  But otherwise I'm not really thinking at all about xsplash these days.18:58
and471bratsche: not really, was just wondering what would happen, but at the moment a simple option is just a black screen that fades into the desktop the same time as the main splash18:58
and471bratsche: but I get you aren't working on xsplash now :-)18:59
Laneychrisccoulson: Hi there. Got any debugging hints? note: I am using some kernel module (nvidia-bl) that I got from a PPA to make it work so it could well be that20:24
Laneyalright so I think it's when it restores from dimming it doesn't go back to the previous level20:32
Laneyand it seems to dim too rapidly20:32
Laneyoh20:43
Laneyit's the "reduce display brightness" option I think20:44

AmaranthDid apport get turned off yet?22:57
bryceAmaranth, do the bugs mention Checkbox?23:13
Amaranthbryce: no, the "compiz crashes inside the nvidia libGL on close" one23:14
AmaranthI keep getting dupes but I don't know if those were just sitting around since apport apparently died recently23:14
brycemm could be23:15
brycefwiw I'm not seeing tons of apport bugs at the moment23:15
bryceI count 7 reported within the past week23:17
dtchenAmaranth: you can have my grub bugs if you'd like to trade.23:17
Amaranthprobably old bugs that never got retraced23:17
brycewhich could all be leftovers from pre-release installs I suppose23:17
Amaranthdtchen: No thanks, compiz is painful enough23:17
bryceI was getting inundated by checkbox bugs though.  glad to get that turned off23:17
Amaranthdtchen: That reminds me though, did you see that adding module-x11-bell or whatever to pulseaudio wasn't working to get the beep while using compiz anymore?23:18
AmaranthI mentioned that after adding a pulseaudio task so I dunno if you ever saw it23:18
brycemostly "resolution isn't right" bugs.  I ought to investigate when I get a chance, in case it's something more than just monitors with bad edid or whatever23:18
dtchenAmaranth: it works here, though I tested using xmonad and metacity23:19
Amaranthdtchen: metacity doesn't even need it, metacity uses libcanberra directly to do the beep23:20
Amaranthwhile compiz and (I'm guessing) xmonad tell X to do it23:20
dtchenright, but I tested xmonad (my normal env)23:20
dtchenI suppose I'll just iterate through the other DEs I have23:21
