pittitseliot: I handed https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-lucid-xorg-proprietary-drivers to you, which I think kind of fits your interests and skills?13:12
tseliotpitti: ok, I guess this will be part of my work for the Desktop team (for the team swap) in addition to my work on the boot process13:27
pittitseliot: ah, you already earned some other project?13:27

Keybukof course, still more bugs to fix14:25
Keybuk- flashing cursor over top of the image while X starts :-/14:26
Keybuk- plymouthd crashes and wipes out X (yeah, minor)14:26
Keybuk- if plymouthd is started before X, you can't vt switch out of X ever again (even after X finishes)14:26
tseliotyay :-P14:26
pittioh, so plymouth then? I thought that was shelved for a while14:27
Keybukactually, I think that last one is a "feature" :p14:27

serialorderi am merging tomboy and when I test it in schroot it gives me a warning that it could not load canberra-gtk-module because it is missing. It runs fine otherwise. I am wondering if I should add a depends on canberra-gtk-module?14:44
seb128serialorder, rather a recommend maybe? it's tomboy using it directly?14:49
serialorderi was thinking a recommend, i am not quite sure how to check if it is using it directly. I can fumble around and try to find out unless you know where i might look14:51
seb128serialorder, what is displaying the warning?14:58
seb128tomboy code?14:58
Laneyserialorder: if you discover a problem please forward it to debian too14:59
serialorderseb128, no the package built fine and installed fine, the warning came when I actually ran tomboy14:59
seb128right14:59
seb128but it could be due to let's say gtk15:00
serialorderi mean it runs fine, i just got that warning15:00
seb128tomboy uses gtk which uses ...15:00
seb128right but we need to figure what call is triggering the warning15:00
serialorderthats the part i am not totally clear on figuring out how to do, so I am working on that part now15:02

rickspencer3didrocks, I have them, yes16:20
mpt_mvo, YokoZar suggested a UDS session on handling multiarch packages in the Ubuntu Software Center. Do you think it's important enough for a session?16:21
kklimondachrisccoulson: do you have any documentation about new suspend inhibition api?16:38
chrisccoulsonkklimonda - i don't have any16:38
chrisccoulsonhow come?16:38
kklimondachrisccoulson: well - people are complaining that transmission wasn't ported to the new API and suspend inhibition doesn't work in ubuntu 9.10/fedora 1216:38
baptistemmah yeah I seen that in the outpt of transmission16:40
baptistemmI guess the new api is provided by gnome-session, no?16:40
kklimondayes16:40
baptistemmit should be straightforward, rb had a smae patch few weeks ago16:41
chrisccoulsonkklimonda - it just needs to call org.gnome.SessionManager.Inhibit()16:41
chrisccoulsonthe "flags" parameter should be set to 4 for suspend inhibit16:41
chrisccoulsonor 8 for idle inhibit16:41
chrisccoulsonor 1 for logout inhibit16:42
chrisccoulsonand it needs to save the cookie for uninhibiting later on16:42

chrisccoulsonkklimonda - different to what?16:43
chrisccoulsonseb128 - hows dallas?16:43
seb128not sure16:43
seb128I've mainly seen the hotel and restaurants16:43
baptistemmdid you see bobby Ewing ?16:44
seb128hard to judge a city from the corner where you are hanging16:44
kklimondachrisccoulson: to the way now it works - was it only moved from org.freedesktop.Power... to org.gnome.SessionManager?16:44
seb128but sprint is good ;-)16:44
baptistemmchrisccoulson, ah you're expecting baby arrival soon?16:44
chrisccoulsonbaptistemm - i am:)16:44
baptistemmoooh oho ho16:44
baptistemmyou can say bye bye to your free time :)16:45
chrisccoulsonkklimonda - the only difference is the API is slightly different, and you need to talk to gnome-session rather than g-p-m16:45
baptistemmYou'll be happy to go to work to have some sleep16:45
baptistemm:)16:45
chrisccoulsonbaptistemm - i already have no free time ;)16:45
chrisccoulsoni need the day extending to 28 hours ;)16:45
chrisccoulsonor only go to work for 4 hours/day16:45
chrisccoulson(the latter sounds better)16:46
kklimondachrisccoulson: ok, thanks16:48
chrisccoulsonkklimonda - let me know if you need any other help16:49
baptistemmkklimonda, have you the nick belegdol on GIMPnet because someone ask the same question than you on #fedora-desktop there :)17:05
kklimondabaptistemm: yes - he just asked the same question on #transmission ;)17:06

mpt_mvo, it's up to you, if you think it's worth a UDS session talk to robbiew :-)17:45
seb128mvo, the pool is nice yes17:45
seb128outside17:45
seb128but warm water17:45

mpt_mvo, I'm fairly sure software-center trunk doesn't include some bug-fixes nzmm made to the behavior of the pathbutton widget17:50
* seb128 hugs mvo17:50
mpt_mvo, specifically, it doesn't do the right thing if you drag off a segment and then back on to it without releasing the mouse button, and I think nzmm's branch had fixed that17:51
mvompt_: hm, ok. let me check17:56
mvompt_: merged17:59
mpt_mvo, awesome, thanks17:59
mpt_mvo, I'm working right now on improving the program listing design (getting rid of the right arrow button), and then on where to put non-application packages18:00
mvompt_: ok, I will be in dallas tomorrow, I'm curious to hear your ideas18:01
mpt_mvo, rather unfortunate to discover that someone installing 9.10 can't install anything with the Ubuntu Software Center unless they install updates (or run Synaptic) first :-/18:01
mpt_mvo, ok, look forward to seeing you :-)18:02
mvompt_: hm, this got tested, is it true for all situations. or only under some circumstance (like no network during install or similar)?18:02
mpt_mvo, I don't know whether it's dependent on connection, but we saw it here at the sprint with sabdfl installing 9.10, and there have been a few bug reports and tweets about it too18:03

mvompt_: first update or first cronjob run?18:05
mpt_don't know18:05
mpt_but it was fixed as soon as sabdfl went into Synaptic and hit Reload18:06
mvompt_: I find it hard to believe that this slipped through the cracks if it did not for for anyone, let me test here18:07
mpt_mvo, I find it quite easy to believe, since testers would routinely install all updates before testing anything else :-)18:07
mvompt_: do you happen to know if it was a desktop or a alternate install?18:08
mpt_mvo, desktop18:08
mvothanks18:09
mvompt_: *oh* nothing or no universe packages?18:09
mpt_mvo, hmmmm, good question. It might only be for Universe.18:10
mvompt_: because I think its actually a problem with the live cd18:10
mvompt_: it does not have universe enabled, so there are no packages in the cache for universe on a fresh install, that is a plausible theory18:10
* mvo tests it18:10
mpt_mvo, the packages show up in the listing, it's just the "Install" and "Website" buttons that are missing18:10
* mvo nods18:11
mpt_ah, I see what you mean18:13
mpt_The universe packages might be in app-install-data but not in the cache18:13
mvompt_: exaclty18:13
mvompt_: hm,hm, but then, I *think* when the langpack stuff is triggered ubiquity does a cache reload, so it might be only networkless installs18:15
mvompt_: but this is speculation, I need to test to be sure18:15
mpt_mvo, so it might not be worth fixing this until after we replace app-install-data with the archive index18:15
pittibye everyone! see you in Dallas tomorrow!18:16
mpt_mvo, we can't fix it in an update for 9.10, because anyone who installs any update is no longer having the problem anyway18:16
pitti(or some of you in Frankfurt perhaps)18:16
mpt_mvo, and with the archive index if the bug still exists it would need to be fixed in a different way.18:16
mvompt_: hm, right, shipping a update is no good18:17
mvompt_: still, we need to fix it for lucid18:18
mpt_yep18:18
mvoand for the repo based ones, it will be a similar problem, if sources.list contains stuff but we don't have data for it we need to trigger a reload18:18
