dtchenhuh. stuff like https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/494259 seems like overkill.00:39
ubottuUbuntu bug 494259 in pulseaudio "pulse audio remembers muted applications without notification" [Undecided,New]00:39
dtchenthat would seem, IMO, to be UI clutter (apologies for the namespace collisions)00:40
rickspencer3dtchen, can I set that to "wishlist/confirmed"?00:40
dtchenrickspencer3: certainly.00:41
dtchenrickspencer3: it just seems like the opposite of what stream memory was designed to do00:41
rickspencer3yeah00:41
dtcheni.e., I can see use cases for both remembering and forgetting00:41
rickspencer3well, I guess alerting the user about the setting some how wouldn't be aweful, but just seems you have bigger fish to fry00:42

rickspencer3ArneGoetje, good morning01:00

ArneGoetjerickspencer3: yes01:01
kenvandinerickspencer3, just what is commented on the bug01:02
rickspencer3chrisccoulson, are the issues people are hitting with csd captured in bug #491521 so far as you know?01:08
ubottuLaunchpad bug 491521 in ayatana-ubuntu "Decorations and RGBA" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/49152101:08
rickspencer3I ask because seemed you were discussing with seb128 in #ubuntu-devel01:09
chrisccoulsonrickspencer3 - comment 12 describes the issue we were discussing earlier01:09
rickspencer3chrisccoulson, right, so gtksudo is busted01:10
rickspencer3is that the main thing?01:10
rickspencer3well, I guess #11 isn't great either01:11
chrisccoulsonthat's the main thing, in addition to the weird artefacts in nautilus01:11
rickspencer3thanks chrisccoulson01:11
chrisccoulsonah, ok, comment #11 might just be related to the artefacts we see01:11
chrisccoulsonnautilus is probably working ok, but the contents on the screen aren't getting refreshed correctly01:11
kenvandinerickspencer3, gksudo is a real problem01:20
kenvandinethat is a blocker for sure imho01:20
rickspencer3right01:21
* kenvandine must not have used thar recently01:21
kenvandinethat01:21
ArneGoetjerobert_ancell: ping01:21
rickspencer3kenvandine, I think the artifacts are to be expected, but until the gtksudo thing is resolved, probably shouldn't push it into the distro01:22
kenvandineyeah01:22
kenvandinerickspencer3, we'll see what others report01:22

robert_ancellArneGoetje, hey01:36
ArneGoetjerobert_ancell: about the simple-scan problem... shall we discuss it here or in private chat?01:37
robert_ancellArneGoetje, here is good01:37
ArneGoetjerobert_ancell: ok.01:37
=== ___bjf is now known as bjf-afk
ArneGoetjerobert_ancell: my scanner is an Epson 3490 Photo and is detected by Xsane under snapscan:libusb:003:00401:38
ArneGoetjerobert_ancell: I remember I had to do some fiddeling with udev and I don't rember what else on my system to get it working.01:39
ArneGoetjerobert_ancell: scanning works with Xsane01:39
robert_ancellArneGoetje, ok, what happens in simple-scan?01:40
ArneGoetjerobert_ancell: simple-scan detects the scanner as "Epson", but when clicking on 'Scan', I get the error message "Failed to scan\nUnable to connect to scanner"01:40
robert_ancellArneGoetje, what version are you running?01:41
ArneGoetjerobert_ancell: after that even Xsane cannot talk to the scanner anymore01:41
ArneGoetjerobert_ancell: 0.6.4 from your ppa01:41
robert_ancellArneGoetje, yeah, sane is really bad at locking the scanners, you have to wait for a timeout01:41
robert_ancellArneGoetje, ok, you can upgrade to 0.7.0 but they will probably not fix the problem (https://launchpad.net/~robert-ancell/+archive/simple-scan)01:42
robert_ancellArneGoetje, can you run simple-scan from a terminal like this:01:42
robert_ancell$ simple-scan 2>&1 >simple-scan.log and paste that into paste.ubuntu.com01:42
ArneGoetjeok01:42
ArneGoetjerobert_ancell: after upgrading to 0.7.0 and resetting my scanner, it displayed two entries for Epson Scanner, one was apparently the old usb address 003:004 and the other one the new one after the reset 003:005. Clicking Scan with the first device failed, but with the second one it succeeded.01:53
robert_ancellArneGoetje, that makes sense - it remembers the previously scanned devices so there's no delay on startup. When you re-open simple-scan the old one will dissapear01:56
robert_ancellArneGoetje, good news then!01:56
ArneGoetjerobert_ancell: ok, anyways, it works now :)01:56
kenvandinerobert_ancell, when will simple-scan land in main? :-D01:57
robert_ancellkenvandine, a2 for universe at least :)01:57
* robert_ancell is setting up two new computers at the same time - a dell mini for testing and a new dell studio to replace my old laptop01:58
ArneGoetjerobert_ancell: how is 'continuous scan' supposed to be used?01:59
robert_ancellArneGoetje, yes it will probably be renamed - it's for automatic document feeders - it keeps scanning until it runs out of paper02:00
ArneGoetjerobert_ancell: ah...02:00
ArneGoetjerobert_ancell: feature request: 1. scan multiple pages (even on flatbed scanners) and bind them into a pdf, 2. pipe the scanned text through a OCR software. :)02:02
robert_ancell1. already works02:02
robert_ancell2. not in scope for lucid, but plan to have that feature in the future02:03

didrockshey pitti07:07
didrocksthe gdm new default session seems to work well :)07:07
pittiyay didrocks07:08
didrockspitti: I'm wondering about setting the default session now.07:09
didrocksI guess the rational is:07:09
didrocksThere is already a default session -> don't touch07:09
didrocksThere is none -> set this session related package as default07:09
didrocksalso, I think I'll write a dummy tool in gdm package to enable that. (called in *-default-settings packages postinst)07:11
didrocksThe thing is that gdm is only interacting by dbus (there is no way to ask the daemon to reload the configuration without stop it and reload it)07:11
didrocksthe this little tools would:07:11
didrocks1. Try to update (if needed) the setting by dbus07:12
didrocks2. if it doesn't work, the daemon is probably stop, change the value directly in the file07:12
didrocksmake sense?07:12
pittioh, there's no reload any more, as in the old gdm?07:13
pittididrocks: I had hoped that this would be done by the greeter, i. e. next time it starts it reads the new custom.conf07:13
pittibut if not, then oh well07:13
didrocksno, I tried and it failed. I asked upstream and they confirm07:13
didrocksso the little tool as to be a little bit smarter, not a big deal :)07:14
didrockshas*07:14
pittididrocks: so if you install UNE image, it should of course be the default session, but if you just install the package, it shouldn't automatically become teh default session IMHO07:14
pittiOTOH, xubuntu-/mythbuntu-default-* have to change the default session07:14
pittiI think the latter just need to change custom.conf, and probably whatever was installed last wins07:15
pittifor UNE, the image build process could change custom.conf07:15
didrocksDon't you think we can integrate that in a tool in gdm package?07:16
didrocksjust to do the right thing (as changing directly custom.conf needs a gdm restart to take the new value into account)07:16
didrockscan be quite easy, an option --keep-default to the tool involved in changing the setting07:17
didrockswe will call it that way in une post-install07:17
didrocksand don't use that option in xubuntu, mythbuntu...07:17
pittididrocks: sure, sounds fine07:21
pitti/usr/lib/gdm/set-default-session or something like that07:21
didrocksthanks for the name suggestion :)07:21
didrocksI'll try to give some love to that today :)07:22
* pitti unbreaks desktop installability and CD builds due to the libmetacity breakage07:31
didrocksgood work, appreciable before alpha1 release ;)07:34
pittiand necessary :)07:34
didrocksyay ^^07:35
pittiAmaranth: FYI, I upgraded lp:~compiz/compiz/ubuntu to bzr 2.0 (couldn't push any more, and it's easier to upgrade than to downgrade)07:46
pittimeh, compiz is FTBFS due to some KDE changes07:47
baptistemmhello07:52
* pitti weeps08:03
pittignome-python-desktop is FTBFS, too08:03
didrocksgloups08:06
didrockstoo bad that ssh ports are closed at my company, I could have given an hand on that package :/08:07
pittithat one seems reasonably easy08:09
pittithe compiz one seems more worrying08:09
pittiAmaranth: do you happen to have a minute to fix http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36614923/buildlog_ubuntu-lucid-i386.compiz_1%3A0.8.4-0ubuntu7_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz ? this is blocking alpha-108:10
chrisccoulsongood morning everyone08:34

chrisccoulsonhey pitti, how are you today?08:35
pittiI got up at 6:30 :)08:35
chrisccoulsonthat's quite early :)08:35
pittiright now I'm fighting gnome-python-desktop and compiz FTBFS08:35
pittiwe need to get them to build to unbreak alpha-108:35
chrisccoulsonah, that's not good08:36
pittidue to the libmetacity0 -> libmetacity-private0 renaming08:36
chrisccoulsonah, i didn't know about that. that's a change from debian right?08:37
pittiright08:37
didrockshello chrisccoulson ;)08:38
chrisccoulsonhey didrocks, how are you?08:38
didrockschrisccoulson: fine, and you?08:38
chrisccoulsonyeah, not too bad. although, i didn't get a lot of sleep last night08:38
pittiI went to bed at 22:00 already08:39
pittitoo much Gluehwein at the Christmas fair yesterday :)08:39
* didrocks reminds when he sold Gluehwein during "la fête des lumières" in 2005 to finance his non profit organization action in Africa08:41
chrisccoulsoni need to go to our christmas market at some point :)08:41
didrocksmore than 300 liters in 7 days :)08:42
chrisccoulsonbut it's quite difficult with a 3 week old baby now08:42
chrisccoulsondidrocks - you drank all that?08:42
chrisccoulson;)08:42
didrockschrisccoulson: sure, especially for having a real night. Should be difficult08:42
didrockschrisccoulson: yeah, I auto-founded everything \o/ ;)08:42
seb128good morning desktopers!08:53
didrockshello seb128 :)08:55
seb128lut didrocks08:56
seb128ca va ?08:56
chrisccoulsongood morning seb12808:57
didrocksça va bien, et toi?08:57
pittibonjour seb12808:57
seb128didrocks, bien, merci!08:58
seb128hey chrisccoulson pitti08:58
seb128gnome-menus crasher already fixed, pitti as quick as usual ;-)09:00
pittiphew, I think I bent gnome-python-desktop to my will now09:03
pittinow off to beating on compiz09:05
didrockspitti on strike ;)09:05
pitti*nng* need ... build ... alpha1 *nng*09:05
seb128building alphas is overated I would say09:11
pittiwell, but having buildable packages isn't..09:12
pittiright now the desktop is uninstallable09:13
seb128right, I was just joking there09:13
pittiah :)09:13
pittinot yet fixed in compiz git head either :-(09:13
mvopitti: I can have a look when I finished with apt if you want09:16
pittimvo: do you know a bit about KWD (KdeWindowDecorator)?09:16
pittimvo: KWD:Window is abstract now, and it tries to instantiate it09:17
mvopitti: I think its just a matter of adding the pure virtual functions with NOPs, iirc we had something similar in the past09:17
mvopitti: yeah, I saw the failure log09:17
mvopitti: if it goes (much) beyond that, we need to ask for help in #compiz-dev09:17
* mvo asks there anyway09:18
pittimvo: is there an example commimt for this?09:18
* mvo looks09:20
pittimvo: ah, there are a couple of almost-empty functions in kde/window-decorator-kde4/window.cpp09:22
mvohttp://paste.ubuntu.com/337877/09:22
mvothat was the one we used, I guess only the lower half is needed now09:23
pittiugh, what was f() = 0 again?09:25
pittimvo: I'll try this09:25
mvopitti: that makes it pure virtual, but I think this is no longer needed09:25
mvopitti: I mean, this bit of the patch09:25
pittimvo: this seems to work (adding empty stubs), but of course nobody guarantees me that these functions aren't actually called anywhere..09:28
pittiI can grep the source, of course09:29
pittibut KDE itself could call them (they are virtual)09:29
pittiwell, I'll just give it a try09:29
mvopitti: right, I have no idea if stubs are enough or not, but I think its worth a try. alternatively we could simply disable compiz-kde until upstream fixes it09:30
pittiright, it's universe after all09:31
pittiyay, it builds09:34
mvofeedback from upstream already (they rock!)09:35
mvo<mvo> maniac103: do you think its enough to just add stubs?09:35
mvo<maniac103> mvo: yes, I'm just unsure about the virtual KDecorationDefines::WindowOperation KDecorationBridgeUnstable::buttonToWindowOperation(Qt::MouseButtons)09:35
pittimvo: do you think it's okay for me to just commit that patch now and upload?09:35
mvopitti: yes09:35
mvoseb128: that reminds me, did my patch for u-m had a positive impact on the performance?09:36
pittimvo: http://pastebin.com/f3ab952f109:37
pittihorrible, and prone to fail (not returning real values, etc.), but builds :)09:37
pittiit should work if these functions aren't actually called09:37
* pitti rather won't forward this to upstream like that, though09:37
seb128mvo, oh, dunno, I didn't get the dist-upgrade prompt today and I did normal upgrade09:37
mvopitti: I'm sure upstream will come up with a good fix soonish09:37
* pitti cranks buildds to finish before next publisher09:39
* pitti hugs mvo, thanks for handholding09:39
mvomy pleasure! you did all the real work :)09:40
pittidie, libmetacity0, die!09:42
* pitti wonders what will fail next09:42
pittiok, now the ports FTBFS is just due to kde library build wreckage09:48
mvopitti: how much churn is ok at this point? I have a apt upload pending now but nothing in it is really criticial, but it would be nice to get the exposure and testing09:58
pittimvo: no library transitions, no ABI/API changes, no stuff that can potentially wedge archive/installability09:59
pittiapt sounds a bit on the dangerous side right now?09:59
pitticompiz built \o/10:00
mvopitti: no abi/api issues, but of course with apt there is always a risk10:03
rodrigo_hmm, I forgot what you use for setting default values for gconf schemas in packages, what was it please? :)10:20
seb128rodrigo_, a file named binary.gconf-defaults in the debian dir10:24
rodrigo_ah ok!10:24
seb128where binary is the name of the binary package you use10:24
seb128the format being "key value"10:25
seb128one on each line10:25
pittiseb128: time sink> indeed, I spent 50 minutes on the gvfs merge now, and most of the changes are wrong for us or cause unnecessary pain :-(10:25
dpicrickspencer3: seems like people are supportive of solang, shotwell, and even gthumb, but there still doesn't seem to be a lot of discussion happening10:25
seb128pitti, oh, please ignore such changes then10:25
pittiright, I'll revert them10:25
seb128what did they do?10:26
seb128I'm just interested in the monitor move to gvfs to be honest10:26
rodrigo_seb128: cool, thanks!10:26
pittilots of changes for building on hurd, etc. (hal), patches to remove the libgvfscommon0 library and build it without a soname, etc.10:26
seb128dpic, supportive of getting those in universe?10:26
pittiseb128: the only thing that moved to gvfs is the burn backend10:26
seb128pitti, ok, please drop all those, we don't want complexity10:26
seb128it just makes upgrades harder10:27
seb128pitti, they don't install the remote monitor in gvfs?10:27
pittiyeah, it's a pain10:27
dpicseb128: supportive of one of them being used as the default in lucid instead of f-spot10:27
dpicor lucid+110:27
seb128dpic, where did you see that?10:27
pittiseb128: right now I actuall ponder dropping the merge completely10:27
seb128dpic, have you read my reply on lists?10:27
seb128pitti, please do10:27
seb128pitti, sorry I made you waste time on that10:27
pittiseb128: one piece that's worth keeping is fixing /etc/profile.d/gvfs-bash-completion.sh10:28
pittiwhich should be in /etc/bash_completion.d/10:28
pittiI'll keep that10:28
dpicseb128: i did, what about it?10:28
seb128dpic, I'm not sure how you count that as being supportive of the change...10:29
pittiseb128: what do you meant about the monitor?10:29
seb128pitti, we should not merge but cherrypick fixes for those10:29
pittiseb128: we have the gdu monitor in gvfs, and the gphoto monitor in -backends10:30
pittijust as Debian10:30
dpicseb128: i don't. it wasn't very much against the change, except the fact that things might not be as bad as i made them out to be. everyone else who posted seemed to like the idea10:30
dpicbrian and caleb, that is10:30
dpicwouter seemed neutral10:30
seb128those replies are not realistic10:30
seb128you don't replace a project running for years and working by something starte 2 months ago and with no user and testing10:30
seb128pitti, hum, let me look at this build failure again10:31
dpicseb128: of course, i was trying to make a call for testing10:31
seb128dpic, your email was rather a suggestion to consider to change the default10:31
seb128GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: cannot open directory /usr/share/gvfs/remote-volume-monitors: Error opening directory '/usr/share/gvfs/remote-volume-monitors': No such file or directory10:32
dpici suppose i should've started the email where i ended it and ended it where i started it10:32
seb128pitti, ^ does debian create this dir in gvfs?10:33
seb128in the gvfs binary I mean10:33
seb128dpic, you object on f-spot because you are against C#?10:34
pittiseb128: yes, seems so10:34
seb128dpic, just curious10:34
seb128pitti, ok, could you cherrypick that too?10:34
pittiseb128: seems we don't install that file at all10:34
pittiseb128: sure10:34
seb128pitti, that would fix this epiphany build issue10:34
seb128pitti, it's not a file but a dir?10:34
pittiseb128: oops, we install that in -backends10:34
pittiseb128: /usr/share/gvfs/remote-volume-monitors/gdu.monitor10:34

dpicseb128: no, not at all, i've just never met anybody that liked or used f-spot...10:35
pittiseb128: yep, will do10:35
dpicseb128: the other projects seemed to be on a level of F-Spot even though they were much younger10:35
seb128dpic, I do use and like it10:35
dpicseb128: i'm not saying nobody does, i just have never met anybody10:35
seb128dpic, they are not, they get no testing, no timeline, no export to web services10:35
seb128you should try using f-spot and compare features10:36
seb128things like export to flickr should be working10:36
seb128or picasa10:36
seb128or to galleries10:36
dpicseb128: that was for solang, which hasn't done it because it will be doing more than just exporting to other services. shotwell is already there and i'm not sure about gthumb10:38
seb128dpic, what project will do or not is not revelant for this cycle choice10:38
seb128f-spot will do ton of cool things too if you look at their roadmap10:38
dpicseb128: okay...10:39
seb128as long it's not done it's not revelant though, it's easy to say you will do something it's harder to do it properly10:39
seb128they might never do it10:39
seb128or get bored and stop working on the project10:39
seb128pitti, btw do you want me to look at the afc backend today?10:40
seb128and do the libiphone mir?10:40
pittiif you want, sure10:40
pittiI'm afraid I'm a bit busy today with the release stuff10:40
seb128well I want those to land before end of year and since we are archive frozen and I start getting bored10:40
pittiseb128: want me to upload above two gvfs fixes now, though?10:40
seb128please do10:40
pittiokay10:41
seb128I've spent almost a day on nautilus without luck10:41
seb128it's not wasting time10:41
seb128or not in obvious way10:41
dpicseb128: you seem to have just focused on solang there. and i wasn't saying it was relevant to the cycle choice, i was simply explaining why. similar to why empathy hasn't implemented metacontacts (because they're going to use People or Soylent which is better than just mushing people together like pidgin).10:41
seb128dpic, I didn't focus on anything, I just say that we have good reason to use a known codebase maintained for years rather than a new project which might crash in 2 months because hackers get bored10:42
dpicseb128: right...you seem to think i want this forced into lucid.10:43
seb128no, I'm just very surprised you consider that users are in favor of the change when all you got is 2 replies from random mailing lists guys10:43
seb128that doesn't seem a solid metric10:44
seb128looking at popcon to start would be something10:44
seb128_re10:56
seb128_other side of the split10:56
seb128_dpic, sorry got cut by the split10:57
seb128_dpic, http://popcon.ubuntu.com/by_inst10:57
seb128_dpic, solang and shotwell got some 160 and 60 user votes10:57

pittiwell, that's hardly a meaningful number10:58
pittisince we install it by default10:59
seb128_pitti, well I looked at the votes column not the installed one but right f-spot number is not revelant10:59
seb128_it just shows that the other ones don't have a solid userbase10:59
seb128_gthumb has some 27000 votes11:00

seb128in fact asac did most of the recent work11:12
pittibut no idea how much that brings, or whether it's relevant at all11:12
asacArneGoetje wanted to make a package for testing with latest upstream release11:13
baptistemmFYI I did a fontconfig packaging for 2.8.0 and update the big patch inside11:13
asacbaptistemm: that big patch should be reviewed/stripped down11:14
asacbaptistemm: but cool. do you have that in some PPA for testing?11:14
baptistemmyep11:14
seb128hey baptistemm11:14
seb128baptistemm, are you still working on the gnome-bluetooth update?11:14
baptistemmI was not able to produce a debdif as it said to me the expected size problem I don't recall11:15

seb128baptistemm, do you have specifics about the error?11:17
baptistemmseb128, I ddon't recall the error message11:17
seb128could you try?11:17
seb128did you do lot of work on it?11:17
baptistemmI call clook at it tonight after 21:0011:18
seb128are you still interested to finish that work?11:18
baptistemmyep o course11:18
seb128cool11:18
baptistemmit is just I don't have a lot of free time due to new job11:18
seb128that's ok11:19
seb128just tell us if you are too busy to work on it11:19
seb128so the update don't get blocked on you11:19
baptistemmokay so my objective #1 is gnome-bluetooth11:19
seb128cool11:19
baptistemmI did some gvfs and nautilus update alos, gvfs was fine, but I stuck on nautilus of libtoolize patch11:20
baptistemm+'m11:20
seb128gvfs is a bit tricky, we have 1.5 in lucid now11:20
seb128and I'm not sure the update is worth a karmic update11:20
baptistemmfor gnome-bluetooth the change is already in my ppa11:20
seb128baptistemm, oh nice11:21
seb128asac, ^ do you think you could review those?11:21
hugolphi, I installed empathy from the ppa (using Karmic) and the Msn voice protocol is not working. Its the first time I am using it. Do I need some package for that or is it not working?11:21
asacyes11:21
baptistemmyeah, gvfs is kind of tricky because you have to weight the good and the bad to update it on karmic11:21
baptistemmI use it for days without issue11:22
seb128hugolp, ask on #telepathy11:22
seb128hugolp, we don't maintain that ppa11:22
seb128asac, thanks11:22
baptistemmseb128, usually any update I'm working on I build it in my ppa if possible :)11:23
asachmm ... why does lp show a debdiff from 2.27.911:23
asacor was that the version i prepatched?11:23
* asac checks11:23
asacno... we have 2.28.111:23
baptistemmasac, perhaps the pversion I'e uploaded previously in my ppa11:23
baptistemmI used to uploaded it in my ppa for building and testing11:24
asacyeah. most likely11:24
baptistemmneed to go out for lunch, but don't hesitate to leave me some messages, I'll to them when I'm back11:24

pittiseb128: https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/+archive/ppa now has a native fontconfig 2.8.0 update11:51
pittiit doesn't make my desktop explode and chinese spam in terminal, www.news.cn in firefox, and gucharmap still look fine for my untrained eyes11:52
pittiseb128: perhaps you can upgrade to it on the mini and see whether it makes any difference at all?11:52
pittiseb128: after the update, please do dpkg -P --force-depends fontconfig-config, and then reinstall; I didn't create preinst magic to remove the obsolete conffiles which aren't in the new version11:53

baptistemmhmm, it make all gtk+ crashing on upgrade11:54

pittiperhaps that got fixed in 2.8?11:55
baptistemmyep, it is11:55
pittianyway, it's a PPA11:55
baptistemmpitti, if you're interested with I ported the big diff.gz patch in my ppa11:55
pittiif 2.8 brings any significant benefit, I'm fine with doing proper conffile handling11:55
seb128pitti, oh, cool, thanks11:55
baptistemm2.8 brings memory and performance improvements accordling a behdad post I read11:56
pittibaptistemm: debian/patches/00_old_diff_gz.patch you mean?11:56

pittiths is the strangest patch name ever..11:56
baptistemmyes11:56
seb128I think somebody didn't want to try to understand the debian changesets11:56
pittibaptistemm: so you have a clue about fontconfig?11:56
seb128and dumped the diff.gz changes in a patch11:57
pittiI just ignored that patch for now11:57
pittibaptistemm: if you have a proper 2.8.0 package somewhere, this is highly appreciated, of course!11:57
baptistemmpitti, I remebmer asking here what is the purpose of this patch11:57
baptistemm:)11:57
* pitti congratulates the new voluntary fontconfig maintainer11:57
baptistemmgniii11:58
baptistemmI don't undertand what is the purpose of fontconfig :)11:58
pittij/k11:58
pittibaptistemm: anyway, if you ported the patch already, no need to do it again then; thanks11:58
pittibaptistemm: roughly, you can configure the prefered order for fonts for a particular family (like serif, sans serif, courier-like) and locale12:00
baptistemmyeah, I remember this it introduced a new policy on top of over in the list12:01
baptistemms/this//12:01
baptistemms/policy/font/ huuu12:01
baptistemmI mix french and english12:01
baptistemmI updated the patch week or months ago, in the 2.7.x but too late for karmic I think12:04
pittiseb128: built and published now, FYI12:05
* pitti goes back to fiddling CD images12:05
seb128pitti, ok, trying that in a minute12:08
seb128I'm going back to normal config first12:08
baptistemmseb128, save your work before the fontconfig upgrade, just a small advice :)12:17
seb128baptistemm, that box is a boot speed charting one, it has no work it keeps rebooting with a stock config or small changes12:17
baptistemmah okay12:18
pittiseems a good time right now to grab some lunch, bbl12:18
seb128same here12:20
seb128pitti, no real win in the fontconfig update12:30
asachmm12:31
asacseb128: whats the bug you are trying to nail down with that?12:31
seb128asac, boot speed12:31
seb128asac, removing /etc/fonts/conf.d wins us 2 seconds at login12:31
seb128I'm wondering if there is a way we could simplify our config or clean it12:31
seb128we tried if the 2.8 update speeds things too12:32
seb128but not so much12:32
asacmaybe the fc cache is not properly updated?12:32
asacthere is definitly room for improvement12:32
asacbunch of stuff was added to conf.d12:32
seb128the caching seem to work12:33
seb128strace on nautilus shows it open those correctly12:33
asacseb128: the user cache or the system cache (cant remember if there is such a thing)12:33
seb128but all the config parsing seems to take time12:33
asacseb128: hmm.12:33
seb128/var/cache/fontconfig/*12:33
seb128those caches12:33
seb128we have a lot of those though12:34
baptistemmI have 29 files12:35
asacthere also is ~/.fontconfig/12:35
asacwhich is the user caches12:35
seb128right, the mini is stock install though12:35
seb128ie no user fonts installed12:35
asacseb128: so after logging in do you have .fontconfig/*12:36
asac?12:36
asaci dont have user fonts installed afaik and still have those caches12:36
seb128yes indeed12:36
seb128seems identic to the system caches12:37
asacseb128: so 2 seconds on first login or on every login?12:39
seb128every login12:39

pittiseb128: thanks for testing anyway13:08
pittiwhy do we need a per-user cache anyway?13:10
seb128pitti, could be because that cache is system + user fonts?13:11
baptistemmpitti, because user can drop font in .fonts13:12
pittiright, but why have an extra system cache then?13:12
baptistemmfor system fonts ?13:12
pitti(also, it should be in .cache/fontconfig, but that's another issue)13:12
seb128baptistemm, the question is if the user cache include system fonts why do you need a system cache13:13
baptistemmI didn't look at the content of the cache13:13
seb128and I dunno13:13
pittiseb128: btw, feel free to retry epiphany builds now (or what package was it again?)13:14
seb128pitti, I workaround the build issue yesterday but that means we can sync again for next upload13:16
asacseb128: the idea is that the system cache helps boosting the caching on user side13:20
asacso user does not need to create all the cache pieces etc.13:21
seb128ok13:22
asacbaptistemm: seb128: you could try --enable-libxml2 and see if that gives a boost in xml parsing13:28
asac(rather than expat)13:28
seb128asac, good idea13:33
pittioh, you think it actually spends a large amount of time on XML parsing?13:33
asacjust an idea. i would hope not13:34
seb128it doesn't cost a lot to try13:34
asacthats what i am thinking13:36
asachmm isnt time_t unsigned?13:40
seb128not sure13:44
seb128internet seems to say it depends of implementations13:44
seb128not sure what the glibc is doing there13:44
pittiasac: out of interest, why would you care?13:45
pittifrom my naive gut feeling it should be signed13:46
pittiif that's the number of seconds since 01-01-197013:46
pitti(so that you can represent a date like 1950, too)13:46
asacpitti: just saw code that checked whether X - now > 013:47
asacand then triggers reparsing of fonts etc.13:47
asacbut i guess thats not the problem13:47
asaci tried it with a small example program and it worked as expecte13:47
asacFcConfigUptoDate13:48
asacsrc/fccfg.c13:48
asachmm rescanTime is set to 013:49
asacin init13:49
asacso there willl be a rescan on each app start13:49
pittiit scans the font cache or the actual fonts?13:52
asacit scans for config + fonts13:53
asacand compares that to the font caches afaik13:53
seb128building with libxml doesn't make a difference13:53
asacso if anything changed it parses and recalculates stuff etc.13:53
asacok thanks seb12813:53
pittiseb128: :( thanks for trying13:53
seb128the time difference between the empty config and ours might just be due to rendering options13:53
baptistemmasac, sorry I was away.13:54
seb128the antialiasing etc probably uses extra cpu13:54
asacyou could try to turn that off individually13:54
seb128right, will do that next13:54

rickspencer3bonjour all14:38
pitticava rickspencer314:38
pittidobey: it's not very important if they are patches or a new upstream release (the latter is probably easier for you)14:39
pittidobey: the main point is to not make many changes in the first place, to minimize regression potential14:39
dobeypitti: right. but i'm only allowing bug fixes that affect karmic to be backported to our stable branches. :)14:41

* mac_v cries as chrisccoulson pushes another bug to humanity :(18:25
chrisccoulsonmac_v - :P18:25
chrisccoulsoni wish users would stop reporting icon theme issues against desktop packages ;)18:26
chrisccoulsonmac_v - i take it you watch the humanity bugs then?18:27
chrisccoulsonyou're always quick to respond ;)18:27
mac_vchrisccoulson: well since i'v done the icons ,  eventually i'd have to respond ;)18:28
chrisccoulsonmac_v - so i can blame you for icon issues then? ;)18:28
mac_vyup , guilty ;p18:28
mac_vchrisccoulson: until the librsvg is patched to use symbolic icons and automatically change color to match the text  , the user needs to change the theme to humanity-dark... or use a transparent panel ... there is not solution for this :(18:29
chrisccoulsonyeah, the tray icons are tricky to get right in all situations, as users can use any combination of icon theme / panel background colour18:30
chrisccoulsonso maybe you should just close the bug for now, and tell the user to use the other theme ;)18:30
chrisccoulsoni think there will always be some corner case combinations of GTK and icon themes that will suck visually18:31
mac_vyeah18:31
chrisccoulsonbut then, i'm not an artist, so I'm probably talking rubbish ;)18:31
mac_vchrisccoulson: nah , you're right... that panel is the weirdest color i'v seen ;p18:33
davidbarthseb128: yes, seen that; we'll postpone the upload until these issues are fixed; thanks for the feedback18:34
seb128davidbarth, don't worry about uploads, just get the issues fixed and we will do our side of the work and get it in lucid ;-)18:35

bryceheya rickspencer319:24
rickspencer3hi bryce19:24
rickspencer3bryce, you are vacation, right?19:25
rickspencer3dropping into #ubuntu-desktop for some sun and fun?19:25
brycerickspencer3, yeah, just about to head out and do some shopping, just waiting on the wife19:25
* rickspencer3 nods19:25
rickspencer3bryce, I've made good progress on bughugger to handle your reports better19:25
brycekewl19:25
rickspencer3and I started a new widget library while I'm at it19:25
rickspencer3;)19:26
bryceyeah been doing some minor debugging on my end19:26
rickspencer3bryce, could you change "bug_num" to be "id"?19:26
brycesure19:26
bryceI found had to switch things around to do tempfile's properly (the different teams were stepping on each other's toes)19:27
rickspencer3ah19:27
=== bjf is now known as bjf-afk
brycealso switched the scripts from using edge to using production (been getting lots of 503/502's lately)19:27
rickspencer3oh19:27
brycebtw I added one new query for us19:27
rickspencer3in fact, even production I am finding lp scripts slow this week19:28
bryceok, yeah I'm still seeing a lot but haven't looked at it since I changed19:28
brycehttp://www2.bryceharrington.org:8080/X/Data/ubuntu-audio/high-karma-bugs.json19:28
brycethis query is for "bugs reported by people with high karma"19:28
brycewhere for now high == ">1000" but I might tweak that upwards19:29
asac30k ;)19:29
bryceasac, hehe19:29
rickspencer3nice19:29
asacdistro karma19:29
bryceasac, unfortunately launchpadlib doesn't give much fidelity here, just one parameter "karma"19:29
brycebut the idea here is that I'm assuming people with high karma are going to be more likely to produce actionable bug reports, or at least will be reasonably responsive to requests19:30
asaci think we should then filter by karmic of "me too" and not by reporter ...otherwise we wont look at bugs me tooed by high karma folks that were filed by strangers.19:32
asacor we encourage filing duplicates if you see that the original reporter has a low karma ;)19:32
brycerickspencer3, asac, ccheney, oh this reminds me, I couldn't find a "mozilla-bugs" or "firefox-pkgs" type team subbed to firefox & co. so haven't set up a team for that19:33
asaclike "affects me" should be enough to bost19:33
asacbryce: we have a ubuntu-mozillateam-bugs afaik19:33
bryceahh ok19:33
asacat least i would think that its subscribed because all the relevant bugmail is somehow channeled to the mailing list19:34
asachttps://edge.launchpad.net/~mozilla-bugs19:34
bryceaha19:34
bryceasac, yes you're right that this'll miss bugs me-too'd by high karma folks, but those we'll just need to identify through some other query19:36
brycehttps://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/~mozilla-bugs/+packagebugs19:37
brycesweet that's exactly what I need, thanks asac19:38
bryceok, mozilla json files should be up within a few hours19:38
asacbryce: what client are we supposed to use to consume that?19:39
seb128I was going to ask what to do with those too19:40
bryceasac, bughugger19:41
brycerickspencer3, not seeing where 'bug_num' is showing up?19:41
rickspencer3oh?19:42
rickspencer3never mind19:42
bryceseb128, I also have a finished report for patches that I think you'll like - http://www2.bryceharrington.org:8080/X/Reports/desktop-bugs/patches.html19:42
bryceseb128, note that the columns are sortable, so you can see your newest or oldest patches19:42

seb128there is not so many .au joining there ;-)22:09
seb128robert_ancell, I'm filling your inbox with simple-scan bugs22:09
seb128chrisccoulson, what is custom?22:09
robert_ancellseb128, no, it's my new laptop.   maybe a setting is wrong...22:09
chrisccoulsonseb128 - i meant anything other than a blank screen. if i select a screensaver theme in the preferences, it doesn't work (i only get a blank screen now)22:10
seb128robert_ancell, it's weird because you had the correct nickname on the other irc server22:10
seb128chrisccoulson, same here22:11
chrisccoulsonhmmm, i wonder why it's not working now22:11
seb128chrisccoulson, could be gtk...22:12
chrisccoulsonseb128 - yeah, possibly22:12
chrisccoulsoni'll try downgrading22:12
robert_ancellseb128, oh my inbox is stuffed - I haven't copied over the filters yet :)22:13
seb128robert_ancell, is that worth opening bugs about UI issues or is that known to be crap right now?22:14
robert_ancellseb128, yeah just open them.  There is a discussion bug open already so you can add to that or make new ones.  I'll mass close them if it gets completely rewritten22:15
seb128ok22:15
chrisccoulsonseb128 - the screensavers don't work with the stock GTK either22:18
chrisccoulsonand if I run /usr/lib/xscreensaver/glblur, it crashes metacity22:19
chrisccoulsonweird!22:19
chrisccoulsonah, ok, i can run non-GL screensavers ok by calling them manually22:25
chrisccoulsonso it looks like a gnome-screensaver issue then22:25
seb128chrisccoulson, doesn't seems to be one22:28
chrisccoulson[manager_select_theme_for_job] gs-manager.c:250 (22:27:34): Could not find information for theme: fiberlamp22:28
seb128downgrading to 2.28.0-0ubuntu1 doesn't make a difference...22:28
chrisccoulson^^^seems to be a clue there22:28
chrisccoulsonit might be a recent xscreensaver change22:29
seb128right22:29
Amaranthpitti: I have no idea how that part of compiz works22:32
seb128Amaranth, what was the question there?22:32
Amaranthpitti: oh, looks like mvo and maniac103 already fixed it, never mind22:33
Amaranthseb128: fixing compiz FTBFS due to KDE changes22:33
chrisccoulsonseb128 - it might even be the gnome-menus change which breaks it22:33
seb128right22:33
chrisccoulsongnome-screensaver gets the theme info from desktop files in /usr/share/applications/screensaver using gnome-menus22:33
seb128chrisccoulson, indeed it is22:34
chrisccoulsonseb128 - did you try the previous version?22:34
seb128removing the gnome-menus cache fixes the preview immediatly22:34
seb128no, I just removed the cache22:34
chrisccoulsonseb128 - thanks, that makes sense then :)22:34
seb128it uses the old codepath when there is no cache22:34
chrisccoulsoni'll leave that for pitti to look at for now then. i've got other stuff i need to finish :)22:35
seb128do you have a bug?22:35
seb128if not could you quickly open one and assign it to pitti?22:35
chrisccoulsonseb128 - yeah, someone else just reported it. i'll assign that one to pitti22:35
seb128thanks22:35
Amaranthhrm, xchat-gnome has once again broken (doesn't show me highlights or messages for other channels)22:36

seb128rickspencer3, should I understand you don't run lucid? ;-)22:51
rickspencer3seb128, not yet22:52
rickspencer3am planning to update with A122:52
rickspencer3at least I was22:52
rickspencer3;)22:52
rickspencer3should I do an ISO install or dist-upgrade?22:52
seb128lol22:52
seb128depends of your bandwith22:53
rickspencer3then I'll do both22:53
seb128I would be carreful about alpha installs though, if you don't have backup of your user dir maybe better to upgrade than to try an install22:53
rickspencer3I'll download the ISO, and then dist-upgrade from that22:53
seb128dist-upgrade should be easier in any case22:54
seb128you don't have to reinstall everything you need22:54
rickspencer3yeah, I have my data set up so I can pretty much blow away my hard drive and then redownload everything22:54
rickspencer3it's all in U1, lp, or on my external drive22:54
rickspencer3hmmm22:55
rickspencer3this escape thing is weirdness22:55
seb128good that I'm not the only one to get this one ;-)22:55
seb128robert_ancell, is simple-scan supposed to have only photo and text document type?22:55
seb128or is the list based on the device capabilities?22:55
robert_ancellseb128, yes, at least as a default.  The idea is they should only be the cases that users want.22:56
robert_ancellseb128, regarding the lack of draft - it may make sense for the photo scan to do a preview scan then the final scan over the top so you can cancel it if it looks bad22:56
seb128right22:57
seb128my scanner is really slow22:57
seb128it takes some 3 minutes to scan in photo22:57
seb128I want a preview and a select area option ;-)22:57
rickspencer3oh fuge22:58
rickspencer3escape deletes the dialog22:58
Amaranthwow my X is trashed22:59
robert_ancellseb128, there is a select area option - "crop"22:59
robert_ancellseb128, oh you mean select scan area.  Don't plan on implementing that - my guess is most standard scanners are fast enough and that's a little confusing for users23:00
seb128right23:00
seb128I think it's a mistake23:01
=== robbiew_ is now known as robbiew
seb128I don't think being able to select an area confuse anybody23:01
seb128those not knowing about it will not do it23:01
rickspencer3users can always use the other scanning tools available if simple scan doesn't work for them23:01
robert_ancellyeah, and those who do know about it will use a more advanced scan program :)23:01
seb128it's nothing in the ui out of being able to do a rectangle on the image23:02
rickspencer3hehe23:02
seb128hum23:02
seb128I consider myself as a very basic user23:02
robert_ancellseb128, the UI can quickly become overloaded.23:02
seb128I just want to scan my expense notes23:02
seb128and I don't want to scan a full a4 for a small piece or paper in the corner23:02
rickspencer3robert_ancell, so I want my dialog base class to capture return a cancel event and NOT delete itself when the user hits escape23:02
seb128"of paper"23:02
robert_ancellseb128, well I am doing the same thing, I bought the cheapest scanner I could find ($60) and it scans fast enough on both modes23:02
rickspencer3is there an easy pattern for that?23:02
* rickspencer3 tries to change the subject for robert_ancell ;)23:03
seb128lol23:03
seb128robert_ancell, mine takes 3 minutes to scan a page23:03
robert_ancellrickspencer3, catch the delete-event signal?23:03
seb128preview in xsane takes some 8 seconds23:03
robert_ancellseb128, how old is it?23:03
seb128dunno, 8 years?23:03
robert_ancellseb128, I rest my case...23:03
seb128works for what I have to do with it ;-)23:03
rickspencer3robert_ancell, do I suppress the event from bubbling up in some way, or is it too late by the time I've caught the signal?23:04
robert_ancellrickspencer3, you can return TRUE to stop the event propogating23:04
rickspencer3so I can return True and then rip a cancel response and all is well?23:04
* rickspencer3 tries23:04
robert_ancellyes23:05
seb128damn you modern software writers pushing user to replace their hardware every 3 years... ;-)23:05
seb128me doesn't get what "continuous scan" does23:06
seb128it seems to keep scanning the page23:06
seb128does that do something special on some devices?23:06
Amaranthseb128: some scanners have a feeder23:06
seb128or is there a sleep between pages where I'm supposed to manually change pages?23:06
robert_ancellseb128, yeah, the problem is I can't tell from SANE if the selected source is a feeder or not23:06
Amaranthso after scanning a page they automatically slide another page in23:06
rickspencer3robert_ancell, uh, I guess I need to response first23:07
rickspencer3will I get the chance to return after that, or will my dialog go away?23:07
robert_ancellrickspencer3, is this based on a GtkDialog?23:07
rickspencer3robert_ancell, yes23:07
robert_ancellok, for a GtkDialog you need to handle the response signal23:07
robert_ancellhttp://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/unstable/GtkDialog.html#GtkDialog-response23:07
rickspencer3my other option is to handle the delete event in each case, but that seems like a lot of unnecssary book keeping, since I have a base class for the dialogs anyway23:07
Amarantharg, I can't use my mouse _at all_23:08
AmaranthI might as well patch xorg.conf to disable it so I'm not tempted to try23:08
seb128Amaranth, why not?23:08
Amaranthseb128: It keeps jumping to the center of the screen23:08

Amaranthif I unplug my USB mouse X crashes23:08
seb128urg23:08
Amaranthand I still have the touchpad...23:08
Amaranthhmm, maybe it only crashed once...23:09
* Amaranth tries it again23:09
robert_ancellrickspencer3, http://paste.ubuntu.com/338344/ - you have to block the delete event for some reason23:11
rickspencer3ah23:11
rickspencer3it's delete-event, not close23:11
rickspencer3d'oh23:11
rickspencer3*sigh*23:12
robert_ancellrickspencer3, yeah, I have no idea why GtkWindow doesn't convert delete-event into close and GtkDialog doesn't convert delete-event/close into response23:12
robert_ancellthat would seem more logical to me23:12
chrisccoulsonmdeslaur - having fun debugging screensaver issues? ;)23:14
rickspencer3that cancelled the event, but the window was deleted none-the-less23:14
