nunyabHello, has anyone heard of a fix for the logon on loop issue, most forum discussions say it is related to desktop resolution but none of their "fixes" work for me04:07
nunyabnow I am getting....  Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash.

pittichrisccoulson: cold> get well soon then!08:39
seb128not fully awake yet but after some extra coffee that will do08:39
* pitti shivers, temperatures below zero for two weeks aren't my definition of "comfortable"08:39
seb128same here08:40
chrisccoulsonpitti - oh, sorry, i meant i was feeling cold rather than having a cold. i'm not feeling ill just yet ;)08:40
pittiaah08:40

* chrisccoulson thanks pitti08:40
chrisccoulsonit's quite cold at work, as most of our building is empty now, so they keep the heating off in those parts to save money08:41

seb128asac, hey10:47
mptmvo, hi, can you remind me of the command to rebuild the USC database (e.g. when switching from the PPA package to software-center trunk branch)?10:48
seb128asac, will you do the gnome-bluetooth 2.29 update too?10:48
seb128asac, just asking before starting on it to not dup work10:48
mvompt: if you run from trunk, just delete data/xapian/* - trunk builds a local DB10:48
mvompt: you will need the aptdaemon from the PPA on karmic for current trunk10:49
mptmvo, I do have aptdaemon from the PPA, but after deleting data/xapian/* I have the same problem as before it: The only department that shows up is "System Packages".10:51
mptmvo, and lots of "console message: undefined @1: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: addCategory"10:52
mvompt: rigtht, the software-center.menu file got updated, easieist is to run bzr-buildpackage and then sudo dpkg -i ../build-area/*1.1.7*.deb - or I can upload to the PPA if you prefer that10:55
mptI'll try the buildpackage thingy first10:56
mptmvo, that fails with "gpg: /tmp/debsign.l6wyJ0ec/software-center_1.1.7.dsc: clearsign failed: secret key not available"11:00
seb128mpt, it's not failing11:00
seb128mpt, it's just a warning saying you don't have a key to sign11:00
seb128that's fine for a local build11:00
mvompt: that is ok11:00
mpt"bzr: ERROR: The build failed."11:01
mptIf it's not failing, it has a funny way of showing it ;-)11:01
seb128depends of what call fail11:01
seb128it's not good to upload11:01
seb128but it's good to locally install11:01
seb128the debs should be there11:01
mpthuh, so they are11:01
mptI guess that's what they call "catastrophic success"11:02
mvompt: please let me know if it works with the new version, I leave for lunch now but will read scrollback11:05
mptmvo, "software-center depends on aptdaemon (>= 0.11+bzr322); however: Version of aptdaemon on system is 0.11+bzr319-0ubuntu1~ppa1."11:05
mptOh, that's just because I haven't installed updates yet this morning11:06
mptnever mind11:06
mptHm, it's not good for Update Manager to bring up the "You have 1 broken package on your system! Use the 'Broken' filter to locate it." alert when Update Manager has no such thing as a "Broken" filter11:07
seb128technically it's not update-manager since that comes from synaptic11:07
seb128but right not good from an user view11:08
mptI guess that would disappear if/when Update Manager used aptdaemon11:08
seb128yes11:08
mvohm, i fix that after lunch11:09
* mpt giggles in delight at the new "Games" screen11:28
davmor2Just a quicky is it known that there is no evolution on todays iso12:20
gorddavmor2, are you sure? its not in the internet menu, its in office12:29
davmor2gord: nope not in internet not in office and not in notification applet either12:31
davmor2gord: also calendar applet doesn't open it and nor does typing evolution into the terminal12:33
seb128Amaranth, mvo: do you plan to do a compiz upload soon?12:40
mvoseb128: not currently, why? I can do one if needed?12:41
seb128mvo, it needs a rebuild for libgnome-desktop soname change12:41
seb128mvo, no hurry but I was pondering between doing it or wait for your next upload12:41
mvoseb128: let me quickly check bzr12:42
seb128mvo, there is no code change required I think, the api change is the gnome-bg api which I don't think compiz uses12:42
rodrigo_how the hell do you specify a port for a server on xchat / xchat-gnome?12:44
mvoseb128: nothing pending, feel free to just upload (but please keep bzr in sync) - I can also it, either way is fine for me12:44
rodrigo_it doesn't like host:port12:44
seb128mvo, I will do it12:44
james_wrodrigo_: host/port12:45
seb128mvo, speaking about keep bzr in sync you didn't for cheese ;-)12:45
seb128mvo, (cost me a reject, fix, reupload round yesterday)12:46
rodrigo_james_w: yay, that did it, why it doesn't use host:port ?12:46
james_wbecause it is special12:46
Tm_Txchat indeed is special12:46
mvoseb128: I do not even remember touching that12:47
mvooh, right12:47
seb128mvo, you sponsored a gconf key change12:47
seb128mvo, anyway no worry I fixed it12:47
rodrigo_yeah, indeed it's special12:47
seb128I just hate when I notice that bzr out of sync because the upload got rejected12:47
seb128we need better tools to warn you that what you try to build is not in sync with the archive or something ;-)12:48
mvoagreed12:49
pittiperhaps debuild -S could fail if DEBEMAIL =~ /ubuntu/ and there is a Vcs-Bzr:.*launchpad.net, but no .bzr?12:49
pitti(it quickly gets hackish at this point, though :-( )12:49
seb128mvo, do you have any clue if Amaranth is still working on the compiz cleaning?12:49
seb128or splitting things we don't use in a new binary12:49
pittiin general, folks should use debcheckout first nowadays12:50
seb128pitti, I do use bzr pull usually12:50
seb128and then do changes12:50
seb128and bzr-buildpackage12:50
pittiseb128: then you already know it's in bzr12:50
seb128pitti, well I've checked of all the things I work on12:51
pittiI mean if you want to do a drive-by fix for a random packge12:51
pittiyou should never start with "apt-get source", but "debcheckout"12:51
seb128checked -> checkouts12:51
seb128right12:51
seb128in this case I did update something I had a checkout for already12:51
pittiI mean "you" == "anybody", not "you" == "seb128" in this case12:51
seb128so that would not prevent such issues for those cases12:51
pittino, I meant mvo should have used debcheckout12:52
seb128maybe he did but forgot to push12:52
seb128I did that a couple of time12:52
seb128anyway that's not happening too often nowadays12:53
seb128pitti, btw do you have an opinion about converting desktop components to use source in bzr in the standard location now?12:54
seb128rather than debian dirs as we do12:54
pittiI'm a bit torn here12:54
pittifrom a design POV it would certainly be nice once having the full source actually makes sense (i. e. we have upstream imports and can directly merge from upstream trunk)12:55
pittibut I don't think we're quite there yet12:55
pittiright now, having the full history in bzr just makes things excruciatingly slow for no real benefit12:55
pittiyou have to push MBs over MBs of data to launchpad to do a single quick change12:56
pittiand upload bandwidth is still scarce for most people (for me, anyway)12:56
seb128yeah, same here12:57
pittiin theeeeeory, LP should have stacked branches12:57
pittiso pushing a new fix to a new branch should be trivial12:57
pittibut it just doesn't work12:57
seb128I scp things on canonical servers and wget the tarball there for uploads12:57
pittiand even if you can directly commit to the ~ubuntu-desktop branch, you still have to download the entire history12:58
seb128I'm quite happy with what we have now so I was not pushing for change12:58
pittiand the history is both big and useless, since it's tarball imports, not the real trunk12:58
seb128I was just checking other people don't get blocked on a workflow they don't like because or me there12:58
seb128that doesn't seem to be the case for you ;-)12:59
pittiI'm quite happy with what we have right now, TBH12:59
seb128ok, let's stay on that for this cycle12:59
seb128we can revisit that later12:59
seb128thanks12:59
pittiif I do an upstream fix for gnome, I still have to get the upstream git, apply it there, and do a git format-patch, of course12:59
pittibut that wouldn't be any different with having everythign in bzr12:59
seb128right, everything would be great if GNOME was using the same vcs and you could cherrypick commits in one command and push those13:01
seb128but since that's not the case...13:01
james_wpitti: stacked branches should work. If they don't for the package branches that's a bug and I'd like to take a look at it.13:02
pittijames_w: the other day I got ubiquity, did a commit, and pushed to my branch; that uploaded some 90 MB of data13:03
pittiwhich took me some half an hour..13:03
james_wouch13:04
pittiand I got that for other packages as well13:04
james_wI don't suppose you can grab the ~/.bzr.log snippet for that could you?13:04
james_wsearching for "fetch logic.*ubiquity" should pick out relevant chunks13:05
* pitti gets the relevant chunk13:06
pittijames_w: http://paste.ubuntu.com/352901/ is the relevant bits13:08

seb128asac, could you push your changes to bzr?13:41
seb128asac, the bzr is outdated by several updates13:41

djsiegelYes I filed it.19:03
kenvandinei like it this way :)19:03
kenvandineok...19:03
kenvandinei think it has the same behavior with the status icon19:04
djsiegelhuman beings will launch empathy and go... "huh?"19:04
kenvandineso not just the messaging menu19:04
djsiegelsame with evolution19:04
kenvandineand rhythmbox19:04
djsiegeloh I see19:04
djsiegelright19:04
kenvandinethey start in the last state19:04
djsiegelcan we distinguish how it was launched?19:04
kenvandineno idea19:04
djsiegelI think we should err on the side of understandability19:04
kenvandinebut if the window was hidden on quit then it starts hidden19:04
kenvandineyeah19:04
djsiegelwhen I launch empathy from docky or the apps menu19:04
kenvandineit can be confusing19:05
djsiegeland no window is shown19:05
djsiegelit's really bad19:05
kenvandinebut... when it starts in your session for example19:05
kenvandinei love that it starts hidden19:05
djsiegelhmm19:05
kenvandinesame for tomboy actually... right?19:05
djsiegelnot sure about tomboy19:05
kenvandinedjsiegel, why not??? consistent behavior :)19:05
* kenvandine ducks19:05
djsiegelbecause it's really confusing for normal people19:06
djsiegelconsistent confusion is not good because it's consistent19:06
kenvandineyeah... but why should tomboy be different?19:06
djsiegelhehe19:06
djsiegelI am not talking about tomboy right now19:06
djsiegelthis is the empathy paper jam19:06
kenvandineyeah... i know19:06
kenvandine:)19:06
djsiegelso, when would we want empathy to start hidden?19:06
kenvandinei think there should be bugs for all the apps that behave this way19:06
djsiegel(1) Session, (2) status menu19:06
kenvandinei think if it starts in your session it should19:07
djsiegelyeah19:07
kenvandinebut by clicking a launcher open the contacts19:07
kenvandinenot sure how to tell the difference19:07
djsiegelyeah, including when launched from the messaging menu19:07
kenvandinebut i bet we can tell19:07
djsiegelwith a flag>19:07
kenvandineyeah... it is just a launcher19:07
djsiegel--start-minimized19:07
kenvandinehack19:07
kenvandine:)19:07
kenvandinei think there should be some property on the window or something19:07
djsiegelso, we have two things to weigh against each other19:08
djsiegel(1) current behavior of not showing the buddy list when you go online via the status menu or when empathy starts with your session19:08
djsiegel(2) confused users who launch empathy by other means and see no window open19:08
chrisccoulsonkenvandine - to check if an application was started from the session manager or not, just look for the DESKTOP_AUTOSTART_ID in the environment19:09
chrisccoulsongnome-session sets that on autostart apps19:09
kenvandinegreat19:09
chrisccoulsonif it's not there, then it was started manually19:09
kenvandinedjsiegel, so we could easily just check that and if it is set hide it :)19:09
kenvandineotherwise not hide19:09
chrisccoulsonor DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID, i will check just to make sure :)19:09
kenvandineall though not sure how upstream feels about that19:09
kenvandinechrisccoulson: thx19:10
kenvandinedjsiegel, upstream does the start in previous state stuff...19:10
djsiegelhmm19:10
kenvandinecassidy: opinions?19:10
kenvandinedjsiegel, we would need to ignore the previous state19:10
kenvandinewhich i am fine with19:10
djsiegelyeah19:10
djsiegelI mean, sometimes I will leave empathy window hidden, then use my computer a couple days later and scratch my head when I launch empathy and see no buddy list19:11
kenvandine:)19:11
djsiegelif it happens to me, I imagine it happens to many people19:11
kenvandinewe already ignore that behavior if you click on it in the indicator19:11
djsiegelespecially anyone who wouldn't think it terms of stored previous state affecting the window visibility across restarts19:11
kenvandinewe force it to raise instead of toggle19:11
kenvandinewhich upsets some people19:11
kenvandineyeah19:12
djsiegelwho can I chat with this about upstream?19:12
djsiegelI mean, I guess all we would really need to do is add some mechanism to just detect the "empathy was launched from empathy.desktop"19:13
djsiegelkeep existing confusing behavior, unless the user clicked a launcher in their session19:13
djsiegelthen force show the buddy list19:13
kenvandinewell we can detect it wasn't started by the session19:14
kenvandineby checking env19:14
djsiegelI would not worry about that case19:14
djsiegelbecause the user didn't initiate anything19:14
djsiegelwe just need to fix one case for this paper cut19:15
djsiegel(1) user clicks on empathy (2) nothing happens19:15
kenvandineyeah19:15
djsiegel(as far as the user sees)19:15
kenvandineso we check to see if we were started with the session, and if not raise the contacts list19:15
kenvandineotherwise (1) do what we do now (2) start hidden19:15

djsiegelso, we don't want to always show19:16

=== asac_ is now known as asac
djsiegelyeah, I suppose if (DESKTOP_AUTOSTART_ID) start hidden; else start_visible19:17
djsiegelthat could do it19:17
djsiegelI will post something upstream19:17
djsiegelon the bug19:17
djsiegeloh there isn't an upstream bug19:17
kenvandinei'll gladly create the patch19:18
kenvandinedjsiegel, can you do the upstream bug?19:18
djsiegelok, so this is not caused by the Messaging menu per se19:18
djsiegelI will do the upstream bug thing19:18
kenvandineyeah, we didn't change any of that behavior19:19
kenvandinejust the toggle19:19
chrisccoulsonkenvandine - as an example, nautilus checks DESKTOP_AUTOSTART_ID to work out if it was autostarted by gnome-session, for similar reasons19:19
kenvandinedjsiegel, what's your opinion on toggle on click as opposed to raise on click?19:19
kenvandinechrisccoulson: is that just a bool?19:19
djsiegelkenvandine -- in the m.m.?19:20
djsiegeltoggle seems really weird there19:20
chrisccoulsonkenvandine - no, it's a unique sequence of characters. but you just need to check if it exists or not19:20
kenvandinedjsiegel, same for the status icon, if you click it we force it to raise19:21
kenvandinebut upstream has it toggle19:21
kenvandineto me it seems weird to toggle, if i click it... i want it :)19:21
kenvandinenot everyone agrees19:21
djsiegelI think it should do if (empathy is not focused) raise; else hide19:21
kenvandineespecially when closing the window doesn't exit19:21
kenvandinedjsiegel, so you thing toggle?19:21
djsiegelyeah19:21
djsiegelit doesn't seem to hurt19:22
kenvandineyou and mpt should have a death match over this :)19:22
djsiegelI mean, we don't really show the icon19:22
djsiegelso why bother?19:22
kenvandineto raise it?19:22
djsiegelwe use the messaging menu19:22
djsiegelright?19:22
djsiegelwe don't show empathy's status icon19:22
kenvandineyeah... it is the same code path19:22
djsiegelso why bother patching this against upstream?19:22
kenvandineit is in empathy not the indicator19:22
kenvandinethe indicator doesn't decide that19:23
kenvandinei wish it did :)19:23
djsiegelBy default, ubuntu users are not exposed to this empathy status icon, so I don't see the point of spending our time on it, is what I mean.19:23
kenvandinedjsiegel, no... i am talking about in the indicator19:23
djsiegeloh, ok19:23
kenvandineif you click on empathy in the indicator19:23
kenvandineit raises19:23
djsiegelyeah19:23
kenvandinenot toggles19:23
djsiegelright19:23
djsiegelthat is right, I agree19:24
kenvandineok19:24
kenvandinegood19:24
kenvandineit is the same code path, so changing that also changed it for the status icon19:24
kenvandinewhich seems fine to me19:24
djsiegelmenu items shouldn't have toggle behavior  like that19:24
djsiegelyeah19:24
kenvandineok19:24
kenvandineit wasn't important19:24
kenvandinei just wanted your opinion19:24

kenvandineeverything kwwii suggested had none19:45
kenvandinedjsiegel, the javascript isn't covered by that license19:46
kenvandineThe fading javascript is not covered in this license. The code is fadomatic and is covered under its own license as set by its author.19:47
kenvandineso maybe not all of the js19:47
kenvandinethat is from the LICENSE file19:47

itorreyhello :)19:49
djsiegelitorrey: is there anything we can do about the fader js? like replace it with something free?19:49
djsiegellet me google fadomatic19:49
itorreyWe have a few options. We can pull in dojo's fade code19:50
kenvandinehi itorrey19:50
djsiegelok, fadomatic author is fadomatic@chimpen.com19:50
itorreyI work at SitePen and we create the dojo toolkit and we're currently in the process of a major overhaul on the UI and stuff for that website19:51
itorreyand dojo is MIT/BSD19:51
itorreyBut I think that if the version of webkit you use supports the css animations we may be able to easily write some small JS that toggles the CSS transition for opacity19:51
kenvandinecool19:53
djsiegelitorrey kenvandine, that sounds like a better plan than using fadomatic, but I did email the author anyway19:54
djsiegelwouldn't hurt to have more free code in the world! :)19:54

kenvandineyeah19:54
itorreyI can try a few ways and see what one works the best19:54

kenvandinewe appreciate it19:55
itorreyI'm well versed in licensing in open source as well so no worries there :)19:55
djsiegelitorrey: awesome, I will ask some of our artwork guys to think of some ubuntu-specific changes like new hex color values19:55
kenvandinedjsiegel, talk to kwwii, he already did some of that for another theme19:55
kenvandinethat didn't have a license19:55
djsiegelkenvandine: ok19:55
kenvandineso we never did anythign19:55
djsiegelitorrey, kenvandine, all that's left to do is check IRC conflicts...19:56
djsiegelitorrey: Empathy also does IRC, and kenvandine thinks renkoo may not work well for irc19:56
itorreyDoes Empathy do IRC as well or does anothe program handle that but uses the same themes?19:56
djsiegelif it uses alternating buddy images19:56
itorreyah hehe19:56
kenvandinetgpraveen, thought that :)19:56
kenvandinei am not sure19:56
kenvandineitorrey, it does use the same theme19:57
kenvandinei just tested it19:57
djsiegelit would not be the end of the world if we disable themes for IRC...19:57
kenvandineand the buddy icons are all on the same side19:57
djsiegeloh, that seems like it will work then?19:57
kenvandineyeah19:57
djsiegel(I am still using pidgin for IRC anyway)19:57
itorreyWhat was the concern about Renkoo in Empathy?19:57
djsiegelitorrey: (1) licensing (2) how renkoo looks in an IRC conversation19:58
djsiegelthat's it I believe19:58
itorreyCurious what the concerns were with #219:59
djsiegelkenvandine: can elaborate -- he just thought the positioning of buddy images wouldn't work or something19:59
itorreyAh19:59
kenvandinedjsiegel, that was just a hunch19:59
kenvandinetgpraveen, was the one that mentioned it19:59
itorreyOn os x there's a bubble theme for Colloquy that's pretty similar that I use for IRC20:00

kenvandine and currently empathy uses the same theme for both single and multi user chat20:00
kenvandine a bug for separate themes for separate modes has been requested upstream (by me only iirc)20:00
kenvandineit seems fine to me though20:00
itorreyOk cool20:00
tgpraveenwell in a irc conversation with many people around like in this one and lots of messages being said constantly20:01
kenvandinepitti, how do you test jockey?20:01
kenvandineis there  a way to make jockey pretend to find a driver and install it?20:01
tgpraveenat that time renkoo would not be pleasant to use because of fading and using lot of space for the message,etc20:02
kenvandinetgpraveen, so just the wasted space between messages?20:02
djsiegelyeah, I think we should leave IRC "unthemed"20:02
tgpraveenkenvandine: and the fade using a lot of time (for each msg so adds up to a delay each time)20:02
djsiegelbut again, think of the audience here20:03
kenvandinethe fade seems real fast20:03
tgpraveendjsiegel: I agree. though for prettiness20:03
djsiegelWho uses Empathy for IRC?20:03
kenvandinedjsiegel, not me :)20:03
tgpraveenthere could be some themes that work for irc20:03
djsiegelHackers, or novice users looking for help in #ubuntu ?20:03
kenvandinealthough it is getting better20:03
kenvandinetgpraveen, i would be in favor of disabling adium themes for irc20:03
kenvandinethere must be a way20:03
djsiegelright, I just mean, renkoo could be a good IRC theme for Empathy IRC users20:03
tgpraveendjsiegel: well on ubuntu it is the default irc client so it can't be ignored though hardly20:04
kenvandinedjsiegel, true20:04
* vish wishes kenvandine fixes the user list in xchat-gnome .. to finally switch from xhcat ;)20:04
djsiegelyeah20:04
tgpraveenanyone with some technical skils uses it20:04
kenvandinevish, hehe :)20:04
djsiegelI don't20:04
djsiegeltgpraveen: I use pidgin20:04
djsiegelheavy users tend to use xchat20:04
djsiegelirssi20:04
tgpraveenI too use pidgin20:04
djsiegelI just think that Empathy IRC users may be "light" IRC users20:04
tgpraveenone day I will use empathy (hopefully ;-) )20:04
djsiegeleven 1-time users20:04
kenvandinewe could speed the fade up20:05
djsiegeland therefore, renkoo might be good for them20:05
djsiegelkenvandine: let itorrey be in charge of that20:05
djsiegelhe's the upstream here :)20:05
itorreyanybody that uses a tool for extended periods of time will generally customize it to fit their need. If renkoo is too slow for them then they'lll switch the theme. And it is only likely to be hardcore users that would care to switch it20:05
djsiegelhe created a very nice, subtle, successful theme -- let's not make ad hoc changes to please Empathy IRC users lol20:05
tgpraveendjsiegel: well in time for lucid empathy should be as good as pidgin for irc20:05
tgpraveenmany of the bugs have already been fixed in muc chats20:06
djsiegelcool20:06
kenvandinedjsiegel, i would be in favor or renkoo, or a varient of renkoo being the default20:07
tgpraveenI still think for irc no theme would be best. though for 1-1 chat and also chats like 3-4 persons etc might be best with renkoo20:07
kenvandinemake the colors "human" :)20:07
istazideally we should have a way to set different theme for muc and one to one chat20:07
* tgpraveen was afraid of that :-(20:07
djsiegelkenvandine: awesome, so itorrey will help sort out the fade without fadomatic, then will you package it?20:07
djsiegelistaz: sounds perfectly reasonable and not hard to do20:07
djsiegelbut not necessary20:07
kenvandinedjsiegel, yup20:08
itorreyAnd I'll also see about using the webkit gradients rather than a table full of images20:08
istazor have Muc channel handled by a different programm/widget all toegether20:08
djsiegelawesome, this will be an awesome fix for lucid!20:08
istazdjsiegel: patch welcome ;)20:08
djsiegelistaz: I set up my empathy folder in ~/src just three days ago :)20:08
pittirickspencer3: yes, that's it20:08
djsiegelI plan to get hacking20:08
rickspencer3pitti, can you generate it?20:08
itorreyIs there a version of Ubuntu and Empathy I should run off of?20:08
kenvandineitorrey, ping me and i can get it packaged20:08

istazI don't know what are cassidy actual plans for MUC in 2.3020:09
istazthe roadmap don't say much20:09
kenvandinepitti, thx20:10
cassidyistaz, what's the question? :)20:10
kenvandinehey cassidy!20:10
cassidyhi !20:10
istazcassidy: how we could improve the irc experience in empathy20:11
istazcassidy: and if they are plan to have no theme or a different theme for MUC20:11
cassidyshort term plan is to continue to improve the current UI (see the "multi user chat" bugs)20:12
cassidylonger term plan is to eventually create a dedicated app for muc (ala xchat-gnome)20:12
cassidyistaz, https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60117620:12
ubottuGnome bug 601176 in Chat themes "have different themes for MUC, single user chat and log viewer" [Enhancement,New]20:12
cassidynot planned for 2.30 but a patch would be welcome :)20:13
istazcassidy: yeah tgpraveen mentionner reporting it20:13
cassidysee the roadmap for muc related changes planned for 2.30 : http://live.gnome.org/Empathy/Roadmap20:13
istazdjsiegel: if you are interested in making you first contribution in empathy ^ ;)20:13
djsiegelistaz: I will probably work on paper cuts :)20:14
istazdjsiegel: ok20:14
istazdjsiegel: we have a #empathy channel on Gimpnet if you need help getting started20:14
djsiegelok, thanks!20:14
cassidydjsiegel, please be sure that there is an upstream confirmed bug before starting to work on something20:14
djsiegelcassidy: ok :(20:15
djsiegelitorrey: http://twitter.com/davidsiegel/status/749055573920:15
cassidydjsiegel, once you have open a bug just ping me and I'll look at it soonish :)20:15
istazdjsiegel: just transfer the bug you find on launchpad to to the gnome bugzilla and ping cassidy20:15
cassidybut I prefer to have the bug confirmed to avoid to do useless work20:15
djsiegelcassidy: can you please skim: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+milestone/lucid-round-420:15
cassidyI can take a quick look20:16
istazcassidy: would you mean if I marked what bugs are already fixed in the roadmap?20:17
cassidyistaz, they are20:17
cassidybut the default theme don't change them20:17
cassidyshow20:18
istazah20:18
istazcassidy: what theme do you use?20:18
itorreyDownloading Lucid now and will take a look over things this evening (I'm on Seattle time)20:19
cassidyistaz, "classic" (which is fugly)20:19
istaz:/20:19
djsiegelitorrey: author of Fadomatic says he's flattered and can't believe anyone is still using that script, and we can pick any license we want and he will apply it20:19
djsiegelhaha20:20
itorreyOk nice, I'll try fadomatic vs dojo vs css transitions and see what one is best20:20
djsiegelitorrey: which license should I ask him to apply? (just in case you use it)20:20
djsiegelwe would prefer not to ship anything large like a whole js framework20:20
itorreyI dual license everything under the BSD and MIT licenses20:20
djsiegelwe have very stringent space requirements on the CD20:20
itorreyYeah if we used dojo it'd be like 20k20:21
djsiegelok, cool20:21
itorreywe'd just use the little bit we need20:21
itorreygotta go get lunch, back in a bit20:21
djsiegelpeace20:21

istaz*linking20:26
djsiegelkenvandine tedg, I've been really confused that recently signed-on buddies show up in the messaging menu20:32
kenvandinedjsiegel, only for a few seconds20:32
kenvandinewith no time20:32
kenvandinethat is part of the spec20:32
djsiegelI only just realized why they were there -- the whole time I thought it was a bug20:33
djsiegeland it does show a time20:33
kenvandinemine doesn't20:33
djsiegelhmm20:33
kenvandineit should only show a time if there is a message20:33
tedgdjsiegel: Yeah, they're distinguished in the menu by not having a time.  But, they show up there for a limited time.  The goal is to have a quick way to respond to someone you just noticed logged in.20:34
djsiegelyeah I understand the rationale20:35
djsiegelwhen I hear it20:35
djsiegelbut we don't print the rationale in a label in the menu :)20:35
tedgWe do, it's just in a *very* small font :)20:35
rickspencer3thanks pitti20:40

ubottuLaunchpad bug 502999 in hundredpapercuts "The microphone and webcam icons displayed in the buddy list need improvement" [Low,Triaged]20:41
pittigood night everyone20:51
djsiegelcassidy: ah, I see20:51
djsiegelwell, you should not put something that looks like a button on every buddy in the list20:51
djsiegelput the buttons in one spot20:52
djsiegelcan you imagine if every song in Rhythmbox had its own play, pause, stop button on every row?20:52
cassidykenvandine,  FYI I started to work on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=599158 this afternoon. Once it's fixed it should be doable to re-implement the libindicate badger as an Approver20:52
ubottuGnome bug 599158 in General "Contact list and status icon should be an Approver" [Enhancement,New]20:52
djsiegelit would look like junk20:52
cassidythat's not the same20:52
djsiegelnot exactly the same20:53
cassidythis icon has 2 purposes20:53
djsiegelbut the point is, this is a list of buddy names20:53
cassidya) let you know that you can call the contact20:53
istazdjsiegel: rythmbox doesn't allow to play more than one song at the same time ;)20:53
cassidyb) be able to quickly click it (most user don't understand right click)20:53
djsiegeladding controls inside each element in the list is really crowded20:53
istazthe point is to quickly show you which contact you can call20:53
cassidys/click/call20:53
djsiegelistaz: no, that's not the point20:53
cassidyit is20:53
djsiegelthe point is to show you capabilities, and it's being used as a click target20:53
kenvandinecassidy, good... maybe that explains why i was getting grief20:53
djsiegelI agree the point should be to show who you can call20:54
kenvandinei had success as an observer20:54
djsiegelI don't agree it should be a button20:54
djsiegelI think it would be nice to maybe do this:20:54
cassidykenvandine, once it's done, I'll take a look at your code if you want (ping me in a week or so)20:54
djsiegelI click on a contact, and the item expands20:54
kenvandinecassidy, sure20:54
djsiegelto show Call, Chat buttons20:54
cassidydjsiegel, that's the behaviour in master20:54
djsiegelwhat is "that"?20:54
cassidydjsiegel, see http://people.collabora.co.uk/~cassidy/shot.jpg20:55
djsiegelyeah I see20:55
djsiegelI was suggesting something else20:55
djsiegellike, I click on your name to highlight it20:55
djsiegel /then/ it shows me buttons labeled "call" or "chat"20:55
kenvandinedjsiegel, in place?20:56
djsiegelright below, in line -- not a context menu20:56
istazdjsiegel: you mean only display the icon when the contact is selected?20:56
cassidythat's not really GNOMEish20:56
djsiegelwell, GNOME hasn;t had this use case before20:56
djsiegeland using a context menu is the lazy solution20:56
kenvandinecassidy, so? nothing wrong with challenging the norm :)20:56
djsiegelnothing wrong with being lazy20:56
djsiegelit's just the tool people grab first, and it leads to lots of menus that aren;t fun to use20:56
istazcassidy: why not show the full contextual menu when clicking on these button actually?20:57
djsiegelyou might have a dedicated buttons in a toolbar?20:57
itorreyBy default it could simply show the icons on hover and have the option to always show them in a pref pane20:57
cassidykenvandine, sure, but as a GNOME app we try to fit well iin the GNOME desktop and offer a coherent user experience20:57
kenvandineunderstand20:57
djsiegelwith a phone, video, and chat buttons in the toolbar that enable/disable according to the selected contact20:57
cassidyistaz, maybe20:57
istazcassidy: or at least have the share desktop and file transfer action20:57
djsiegel(1) we agree it's nice to look at the buddy list and see who you can call20:58
cassidydjsiegel, this suck. That means you select a contact and then have to move your mouse to the top of the contact list to call20:58
djsiegelcassidy: yeah20:58
djsiegelor right-click20:58
djsiegelusing a context menu as the main way to initiate a call is worse20:58
djsiegela worse experience20:58
djsiegelyou may feel it's faster, and it may be faster, but it's yucky20:58
istazbut I'm of the option that if we have a menu we better not have a different one than the context menu, it confuse the user to have to remember two different menu structure20:59
cassidyI don't know. Let's see how it goes with the new popup20:59
djsiegelI never knew those icons were clickable20:59
djsiegeland with the proposed change in style, they will look less clickable20:59
djsiegelalso, can I have video but not audio support?20:59
istazdjsiegel: if you need to select a contact anyway to see if you can call it, you might as well right click it20:59
itorreyWhat if we took a step back and looked at it from the perspective of what the user is trying to do. In general, baseline there is going to be audio. Video is a bonus. What if it were a single call button and the call interface enabled video to be started20:59
itorreyand a pref pane or something that lets you set to auto start video by default or not21:00
itorreySo the action is call and then video is just an extra that may or may not exist21:00
djsiegelright, that's my point21:00
djsiegelShow only one icon/button21:00
djsiegelthe "call" button21:00
djsiegelit's a phone handset if they don't have video, otherwise it;s a video icon21:01
itorreyWhy make the user make an arbitrary choice based on the technology used?21:01
cassidyitorrey, there is only one button now21:01
djsiegelcassidy: but it looks like two things21:01
djsiegelis the point21:01
djsiegelthe user doesn't know there's only one click target21:01
cassidyno, there is only one icon in the contact list now21:01
djsiegeloh21:01
cassidyyeah, that's why I opened https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60623521:01
ubottuGnome bug 606235 in Artwork "Need a better audio/video icon in the contact list" [Normal,New]21:01
kenvandinebut it takes you to a context menu?21:01
djsiegelperfect!21:01
cassidykenvandine, yes21:02
djsiegelyes, this is great21:02
cassidydjsiegel, try empathy master21:02
kenvandinecassidy, why not take you to the call dialog?21:02
djsiegelYeah, I would start the call21:02
kenvandinewhich has the video button already?21:02
djsiegeland make it easy to disable the video feed if video is enabled21:02
kenvandinesaves a click, generally :)21:02
cassidybecause for some protocol we have to choose if we want an audio or audio/video call before starting the call21:02
cassidyas we can't add video later21:02
djsiegelcassidy: ah, ok21:03
kenvandinehumm21:03
cassidy(thanks google video)21:03
kenvandinebefore opening the call dialog even?21:03
djsiegeljust do video if it can21:03
djsiegelI think it's worth forcing video :)21:03
djsiegellol21:03
djsiegelto get rid of a menu21:03
cassidyIf I'm naked I certainly don't want to automatically start my webcam21:03
cassidyand then people accidentally start calls when clicking on the roster21:03
* kenvandine especially if i am calling you :)21:03
istazkenvandine: we are starting the call as soon as the call dialog is open21:04
kenvandinehumm21:04

kenvandinesetting the custom away message21:05
kenvandineit is one of the bugs21:05
kenvandineyeah21:05
istazkenvandine: otherwhise the user would have to open the call dialog, then click on a call button. Which is strange since if they open the call dialog they want to call anyway21:05

cassidyas I tri to have all the tasks list on the bugzilla21:10
seb128you do a rocking work on empathy ;-)21:11
seb128now we just need somebody doing that on telepathy-* too21:11
cassidythanks :)21:11
seb128some protocols are buggy21:11
djsiegelseb128: can we remove "Back" and "Forward" labels from Nautilus for Lucid? they are the only buttons labeled horizontally in the Nautilus toolbar, and they need labels the least21:12
cassidyseb128, yeah. Hopefully istaz's recent work should improve MSN a bit21:12
seb128djsiegel, we could, I would prefer having somebody suggesting that on the upstream list though21:12
seb128better than having distro specific change21:12
seb128cassidy, oh, butterfly changes? ;-)21:13
seb128nice21:13
seb128I've started running empathy again in lucid21:13
seb128let's see how it goes21:13
cassidy2.29.4 works pretty well for me21:14
seb128so far I'm annoyed by the lack of tooltip infos on contacts21:14
cassidythe vCard info?21:14
seb128but otherwise it seems to work good21:14
seb128well things like idle time on icq21:14
cassidythis is a protocol feature?21:15
seb128I don't know, pidgin displays it21:15
seb128gnomeicu did too21:15
seb128when I used it21:15
cassidyI don't have any clue about ICQ tbh21:15
kenvandinejcastro, i just uploaded the tomboy/appindicator fixes to both lucid and the karmic ppa21:15
seb128cassidy, well pidgin displays the connected time too in pidgin for jabber21:16
jcastro<3, thanks!21:16
seb128-in pidgin21:17
cassidyseb128, that's probably done by the client then21:17
seb128cassidy, ups sorry that was an icq contact21:17
seb128I think it's an icq protocol feature21:18
cassidywe don't have API to expose that in Telepathy actually21:18
cassidyso it's not going to happen soonish21:18
seb128in fact I've the idle time for danilo on jabber21:18
seb128so it's not icq specific21:18
seb128ok21:18
seb128just a detail21:19
seb128if I complain about detail that's a good sign ;-)21:19
seb128I like the lines to reconnect in the buggy list if you connect from somewhere else21:19
cassidyindeed :)21:19
seb128you just have to click on the reconnect icon21:19
seb128that rocks ;-)21:19
cassidyyou're the on who asked for it :p21:19
seb128buggy -> buddy21:19
seb128yeah21:19
seb128and I'm happy to see it working ;-)21:20
seb128I think I will stay on empathy this time21:20
cassidy\o/21:21
cassidylet me know when you'll switch back to Pidgin ;)21:22
cassidydjsiegel, I commented all the bugs on https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+milestone/lucid-round-4 and/or their upstream equivalent21:23
seb128kenvandine, still there?21:27
vishcassidy: hi... i just included a monochrome icon in humanity for the mic...21:27
seb128kenvandine, is the package you needed review for ready?21:27
vishcassidy: you want the icon to be included in empathy itself?21:27
cassidyvish, can I see it? :)21:28
vishcassidy: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~elementaryart/elementaryicons/trunk/revision/388#humanity-icon-theme/Humanity/devices/16/audio-input-microphone.svg21:30
vishcassidy: it would be great if its in empathy itself... then we can make the icon darker21:31
cassidyvish, actually this icon is not shipped in Empathy21:36
cassidyit comes from gnome-icon-theme21:36
vishcassidy: yup... but we can use a custom icon in empathy itself21:37
cassidyI prefer to rely on gnome-icon-theme when possible21:37
vishcassidy: ok , the monochrome icons are now using the namespace -symbolic so i guess that is a small change to do21:38
istazseb128: yeah the bug preventing you to make more than one consecutive call should be fixed now21:39
istaz(well as soon as jonnylamb review my branch)21:39
seb128nice21:39
istazand I'm hoping to have file transfer done by next week21:39
seb128that would rock21:40
TheMusoIs wacom-tools on anybody's radar? If its trivial to fix, I'll have a look at it, as its currently breaking studio disk builds.21:44
