yoasifanyone around?01:31
micahgsure yoasif01:39
yoasifmicahg, heya -- im not sure about this, but i'm running kile in gnome, and it doesn't use gtk widgets (in lucid) -- isn't it supposed to have gtk+ widgets if i change it in qt4config?01:40
micahgyoasif: try asking in #ubuntu+101:40
yoasifmicahg, sure -- but this is more of a kde app in gnome question -- any better place to ask that?01:43
micahgyoasif: no, that's the support channel01:43
micahgfor lucid01:43
yoasifsince it's the same version of kile that is in karmic01:43
yoasifsure micahg01:44
micahgyoasif: if you discover it's a bug, then you can come back and we'll triage it :)01:44
yoasifmicahg, i'm not even sure it's a bug haha -- im getting someone in another channel telling me that kde apps don't necessarily use the qt4 theme01:46
micahgyoasif: well, I don't know anything about Lucid or how things have changed01:46
micahgyoasif: the people in #ubuntu+1 know Lucid, so that's why I suggested it01:47

LimCoreshould I make new bug, or how can I reopen this one.  The problem is that this question is confusing.  Solution:  write there a text informing to just use the default if not certain.  This is needed because new users have no idea what this questions means and what to do14:34

chrisccoulsonqense - i'm not sure. the screenshots there are from firefox, and that's a known issue with that dialog. you say that the nautilus dialog has a similar issue though?15:34
chrisccoulson(i can't check that yet, as i'm at work)15:35
qenseyes, I could confirm that bug for Nautilus out of my own experience in the past; that was why I handled it like a Nautilus bug.15:35
chrisccoulsonqense - the nautilus dialog looks something like this: http://lh4.ggpht.com/_DrjM_l2eDa8/SoTGj6msnyI/AAAAAAAATIU/MByky82WbHs/s512/screenshot%20004.png15:36
chrisccoulsonis that the one you're referring too?15:36
chrisccoulsoni didn't think that one had the same issue though15:36
qenseah, things must have changed since I last used it: double mistake from my side15:36
chrisccoulsonqense - no worries :)15:36
chrisccoulsoni'll re-assign that one to firefox for now15:37
chrisccoulsonthanks15:37

malevHi, I've been talking to the reporter from this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/497210  he shows really helpful, I really don't know if this is a bug or not, could some one give me a hand?16:23
ubot4Launchpad bug 497210 in nautilus "freezes indefinitely with busy cursor when viewing folder with many/large files" [Low,Incomplete]16:23
qensemac_v: regarding bug 390532: I'm not so sure if allowing to add an extra column to the ListView would solve this problem, especially since I recall a kernel change that (partially?) disabled updating the Accessed Date -- had something to do with ext4 and/or SSDs. What about the initial suggestion made by the reporter in the description?16:24
ubot4Launchpad bug 390532 in hundredpapercuts "Nautilus Icon view does not allow all the sort options available in List view" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/39053216:24
qensemalev: that seems to be an issue in the thumbnail generator indeed, I would look up what is responsible for making sure the settings are adhered to and report it at the proper upstream if it hasn't already been reported there.16:26
qensemalev: you could try to reproduce it yourself16:27
qense(reproduce the ignoring of the tumbnail generating settings)16:27
malevqense, but I don't have that problem, the thumbnails bound works really fine for me...16:28
qensemalev: you could ask him what happens when he loads the directory on a clean user account (i.e. settings reset, anything that might obstruct the thumbnail generator settings deleted)16:29
malevqense, oks! excelent idea. thanks16:30
qenseyou're welcome :)16:30
mac_vqense: hi.. the bug doesnt really seem about adding an extra column... but rather that the sorting by date accessed isnt available in the right click unless the user searches for it in the preferences16:30
mac_valso , its the same behavior in "Icon view" too16:32
qensemac_v: iirc the reporter says that the files are sorted according to the rules of the directory right away, and not easy identifiable as new. He mentiones the way Windows does it, which he finds is better than the way Nautilus currently handles things: sorting the files right away and not marking them. He doesn't seem to be really providing a solution, though.16:33
qensetrue, adding it to Listview wouldn't solve it16:33
qensefor IconView16:33
qensemac_v: however, the changes you made to the bug report do seem to indicate that you would like to solve it with ListView additions.16:35
mac_vqense: IMO , its the difference between date modified and date accessed which causes this different behavior... if you copy a file the date modified doesnt change... so the easiest "fix" would be to *also* display the 'Date accessed' in the arrange by submenu  , since even if the list view option is enabled , it doesnt get displayed now16:38
mac_vfor the icon view16:39
mac_vand there seems no easy way to sort by "date accessed" in icon view16:39
qensemac_v: but I doubt that still gets set at all times, since iirc it as (partially?) disabled in the kernel due to ext4 and/or SSD issues a while ago.16:39
qenseat least it wouldn't be a proper soluation that would work on all systems16:40
mac_vqense: oh... i'm not sure about the kernel changes16:40
chrisccoulson"date accessed" is an unreliable metric, as not all filesystems support it (although I might be wrong there), and it can be disabled on those which do by mounting with "noatime"16:40
qenseAnd what does relatime do exactly?16:41
qensethat is default now, irrc16:41
qenseif I'm correct*16:41
* mac_v checks16:41
chrisccoulsonrelatime only updates atime if the previous atime is older than mtime (modified time)16:41
chrisccoulsonand that is the default mount option in ubuntu16:42
qenseso it isn't reliable either, relatime only makes sure that atime isn't older than mtime16:42
chrisccoulsonqense - yeah, that's right16:42
mac_vchrisccoulson: then how does list view solve this? or does it also give wrong results?16:43
joaopintoanyone familiar with getting the list of bugs for a specific project using launchpadlib ?16:43
chrisccoulsonmac_v - not sure, as i haven't read the whole scrollback yet ;)16:43
chrisccoulsonso i only have half the conversation16:43
chrisccoulsonand i'm just about to finish work now16:43
qensemac_v: Like you said, ListView doesn't support atime, so it hasn't got a problem with it.16:43
mac_vhmm...16:45
qensebut aren't the files copied or moved to a directory already selected by default?16:45
qenseThat would seem the most logical option to me16:45
qense(to do that, if it isn't already being done)16:46
qenseI wouldn't go with not sorting new files, it would be ugly16:46
qensemac_v: I can't confirm the bug, actually. Files I copied or moved are selected afterwards.16:47
mac_vqense: the files are selected , but dont display at the end of the list16:48
qenseis that what we want? Would breaking the sorting really be helpful?16:48
mac_vqense: in windows , when new file is added to a folder the user can get the file displayed at the end and this probably helps in folders such as downloads or other folders where user constantly adds new files16:49
mac_veasier to recognize when the file was added...16:50
* mac_v but got used to the alphabetical order , so doesnt make a difference for me :)16:50
qenseyou want a permanent sorting method so you can sort a directory on "newly added files"?16:50
qense'want'*16:50
qenseI'm not sure if we can provide that16:51
qensewe could, but not without a lot of overhead16:51
mac_vqense: if the sort by date accessed works with List view , why should it not work [I didnt understand the problem why icon view alone cant sort it like so]16:53
qensemac_v: it would be deceptive to add it since it's not reliable16:53
mac_vhmm...16:53
qenseit might even not be changed when you copy a file to a directory16:53
qenseor probably: it probably won't be changed16:54
mac_vqense: not sure , what to do then.. maybe we can let the nautilus devs comment on it then?16:54
qensewell, the way you put it it's more a feature request -- at least, if you leave atime and a ListView column for the value out of it -- requesting a way of sorting files on "added to directory"16:55
qenseand I'm not so sure if would be easy to create such a thing16:55
qensewe could let Nautilus create a database to keep track of this, but that would be too much overhead in my eyes16:55
mac_vqense: it *does* change when you copy a file... [i havent been able to notice any irregularities yet... ]16:56
qenseit does?16:56
mac_vyup16:56
qensereliably?16:56
qenseon most systems?16:56
mac_vqense: i havent noticed any problems on ext4..16:57
qenseCould you check in /ets/fstab if you're using relatime, or something different?16:57
mac_vqense: my fstab , from Lucid > http://paste.ubuntu.com/344180/  its the default and i havent edited anything other than assigning the partitions during install16:59
qenseno relatime in there, but iirc it's the default anyway17:00
mac_vyeah , i think so too , vaguely recall "relatime" being in the fstabs earlier than jaunty17:03
qenseFor sorting a directory on "new to this directory" I would suggest to direct the reporter (our yourself ;)) to Brainstorma and/or the mailists and mark the bug as Invalid because newly copied/moved files are selected. Do you agree? It is a bit too much for a bug report and it's not really a regression.17:04
mac_vqense: IMO , it isnt a feature request *if* date accessed is reliable... it seems a basic feature not being available for icon view... but you can triage the bug accordingly as you feel fit :)17:07
mac_vqense: also , the best judge for the bug would be nautilus devs who probably have a reason for not exposing the option17:08
mac_vor maybe they just forgot ;)17:08
qensemac_v: you're right: for further enhancement we could direct the reporter to Brainstorm and the mailists, but we could use the bug report as a bug asking for atime to be allowed as a sorting value17:09
qenseand report it upstream, of course17:09
qenseinteresting read about atime: http://kerneltrap.org/node/1414817:10
mac_vqense: first we can report it upstream or maybe we could ping someone on #nautilus ?17:10
qenseI would file a bug, we would be more likely to get a response from the right dev17:10
mac_vqense: great, thanks :)17:11
qensemac_v: I'll triage the bug as I said, if that's alright with you. Thanks for your input!17:13
mac_vqense: hasnt bug been fixed? Bug #58205 , there is already a format in the context menu17:34

qensemac_v: btw, why aren't you a member of bugcontrol yet? You're doing so much work, you would probably be granted membership very fast.17:39
mac_vqense: hmm , never thought of applying... i should someday :) hopefully soon...17:40
qenseyes you should!17:40
qensepitti: do you think that bug 229370 could be related to bug 463347 or maybe bug 469837? I reckon it probably is somewhere in devicekit-disks, but I'm not sure if it is a duplicate of an already reported bug.18:31
