seb128or is that still the same one which let you down in december?09:11
seb128enjoy breakfast09:11
chrisccoulsonyeah, mine is a pain in the cold. it's still the same car. there is a relay in the windscreen wiper motor which ices up in the cold, and i have to use a hair-dryer on it to warm it up ;)09:11
seb128brb, reboot after daily dist-upgrade09:12
seb128chrisccoulson, urg, you deserve coffee and breakfast now then ;-)09:12
davidbarthseb128: not ready yesterday, postponed to today09:32
seb128hum, ok09:32
seb128or next week then09:32
* seb128 doesn't like things landing on friday evening09:32
seb128when everybody is away for the weekend09:32
davidbarthseb128: well, for a2, it's today the latest09:32
seb128let's see09:32
davidbarthseb128: next week is another story, it will be the beginning of a309:32
seb128you will get tarballs today09:33
seb128we will see when we upload to lucid09:33
seb128I don't push new versions on friday afternoon usually09:33
seb128that's a receipt to have a broken distro until after weekend09:33
davidbarthseb128: ok, i understand09:33
davidbarthseb128: yeah09:33
davidbarthseb128: but yesterday we didn't have enough new features for the app indicators, and the community needs that09:34
davidbarthseb128: so we're pushing a bit more to get that in a2 proper09:34
seb128I understand don't worry09:34
seb128I'm just saying that might land on monday in lucid09:34
seb128which is fine for alpha209:34
huatsmorning everyone09:35
pittiI'm off for some two hours for an appointment09:42
seb128pitti, see you later09:42
seb128huats, hey09:42
huatsseb128, hello !09:43
seb128bah10:20
seb128indicator-application is too buggy to be used10:20
seb128davidbarth, is ted working on fix it for alpha2?10:21
seb128I don't see any commit for 3 weeks10:21
seb128you can't call set_menu, set_icon, etc several time10:21
seb128so it's not possible to do any update which sort of limit the use10:22
davidbarthseb128: yes, is been working on it the week of christmas and this week of course10:39
davidbarthseb128: update, you mean sending a menu update, right?10:40
seb128yes10:40
seb128menu or icon10:40
seb128there is a bug with a testcase for the icon issue10:41
seb128the api is buggy too10:41
davidbarththat's right; bug with test case ok10:41
davidbarthi mean, good to have a test case10:41
seb128it would explain why the rhythmbox icon doesn't change on play or pause10:41
seb128(though it would be broken if it changed due to the custom theme dir)10:42
davidbarththe api is new, but it's similar to the kde one; i don't think it's that buggy, it needs more work, but the number of ported, and so impacted, applications so far is limited10:42
seb128davidbarth, no sorry, I mean there is a bug in the documentation10:43
seb128I will do a patch for it now10:43
seb128davidbarth, it has "These are the states that the indicator can be on in the user's panel. The indicator by default starts in the state APP_INDICATOR_STATUS_OFF and can be shown by setting it to APP_INDICATOR_STATUS_ON."10:44
davidbarthseb128: bratsche is looking at the right signal to connect to to get the updates to be propagated10:44
seb128where it's _ACTIVE and _PASSIVE in the neum10:44
seb128enum10:44
seb128and the default state is wrong too10:44
seb128if you don't call set_status on ACTIVE it's displayed anyway10:45
seb128hey agateau10:45
seb128nothing too specific or that can't wait for ted10:45
seb128I was saying that "These are the states that the indicator can be on in the user's panel. The indicator by default starts in the state APP_INDICATOR_STATUS_OFF and can be shown by setting it to APP_INDICATOR_STATUS_ON."10:45
seb128is wrong10:45
seb128the enum has _ACTIVE and _PASSIVE there and no _ON and _OFF as values10:46
seb128and the default seems to be ACTIVE10:46
seb128since if you don't cann set_status it does display the indicator anyway10:46
seb128call10:46
agateauseems to be consistent with the spec10:46
davidbarthseb128: hmm, that must be a mismatch between a spec element and the implementation; thanks for spotting this one10:46
seb128I will open a bug now10:46
davidbarthseb128: call? you mean you're on a call; ping us back then10:47
seb128davidbarth, no "cann" was a typo for "call"10:47
seb128sorry ;-)10:47

asac13:10 < JamieBennett> asac: Its mountall: Could not connect to Plymouth12:10
tseliotI haven't had the time to do further work on it but yes, Keybuk should know about that12:10
tseliotasac: maybe because plymouth is not installed?12:11
asacgood idea ;)12:11

seb128before flying on tuesday I think12:16
seb128I don't plan anything12:16

JamieBennettLooks like a glxinfo | grep "direct rendering: Yes" (or glxinfo | grep 'renderer string' differing opinions on which is best) is the way to detect 3D acceleration. Where do I look to integrate this into GDM so the right one (2D/3D) is launched on login?12:19
asacthats the brute force approach. too bad i cant remember. i was told that its important to check for a certain extension ;)12:21
asacJamieBennett: i would think its in the session script12:22
JamieBennettasac: I talked to MacSlow and a few guys in #ubuntu-x seems there is no real nice way of detecting it on all platforms12:24
asacok we will see.12:24
mvoJamieBennett: there is no nice and easy way, but just checking for directrendering will miss use cases like ltsp that works ok with gl over the network iirc12:25
asacmaybe we should check the UDS session notes again12:25
asacmaybe i commented i tthere12:25
asacmvo: do you know which extension we need to probe for?12:25
mvoasac: I pasted what we do in compiz12:26
asacwhere?12:26
mvobasicly we check for software raserization and if that is present we bail out12:26
mvoin lucid in code12:26
* asac searches for glasses12:26
asacmvo: we want to check for UNE launcher12:27
mvoin karmic we do it with a script12:27
mvohttp://paste.ubuntu.com/353425/12:27
asacmight not be the same as compiz12:27
mvoyou also need to be careful because some HW supports acceleration only on the first head12:27
mvoso e.g. the guest session will be slow if you try 3d on it12:27
asacyeah. well. at best we would have a strict check12:27
asacits ok for us to bail out12:27
asacon arm12:27
asacactually we expect that to happen in most cases12:28
mvoLIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT is also something that may be tested (not sure if that is still relevant) - so once with that set and once without12:28
mvoAmaranth: recently ported all the checks to C, he knows best currently what to check for12:29

kenvandineyeah13:36
seb128I've not managed to get that working13:37
kenvandinehumm13:37
seb128the set_status just does nothing there13:37
kenvandineonce jockey marks it as seen, it doesn't notify13:37
seb128I had a go to gnome-bluetooth today13:37
seb128how to you get the icon to go away from the indicator?13:37

seb128is there any way to do that from the command line?14:22
seb128or is that a launchpad ui thing?14:22

kenvandinestatik tried coaching me, but it was complicated14:23
seb128kenvandine, xchat-indicator, please use a 0ubuntu1 version14:23
kenvandinei think once you get all that stuff setup it could be quite convienent14:23
kenvandinefor ubuntu i will14:23
tedgI think that the there is probably an issue with using the GUI mail tools like Evo that makes it complicated.  I think it's simple if you have a local mail server configured.14:23

seb128using pidgin they just auto-open14:44
slomoseb128: hi :)14:44
kenvandinei think the difference is xchat you never close14:44
seb128and empathy they just queue14:44
seb128well I fail to see the point of the indicator14:45
seb128if you have a task blinking to indicate that anyway14:45
kenvandinequeue of things that need your attention14:45
kenvandinei am all for not blinking the taskbar14:45
seb128well the tasklist queue them too14:45
kenvandinei just hadn't considered it14:45
seb128ok14:45
seb128in any case packaging looks good14:45
seb128and it worked directly14:45
kenvandinecool :)14:45
seb128I didn't need to restart xchat-gnome14:46
seb128is there any way to active it when installed?14:46
seb128without having to do that manually14:46
seb128if you install it that's probably to use it14:46
seb128or is that some sort of gconf list you would need to edit?14:46
kenvandinei think gconf14:47
seb128ok, that sucks14:47
seb128anyway it's a good start14:47
kenvandineso we would need to change that in xchat-gnome and make it depend/recommends etc14:47
seb128let me know when you want sponsoring14:47
kenvandineok14:47
seb128I would be in favor of no blinking too14:47
seb128if you want to fix that14:47
seb128I think that's the main interest of the indicator14:48
seb128to avoid having things stressing you14:48

rodrigo__that is, I'm going to submit a lucid package, but I'm wondering what to do if I later have a karmic change, since trunk would be lucid15:08
pittirodrigo__: not for ~ubuntu-desktop, just the auto-imports; feel free to create a branch if you need one, though15:08

pittirickspencer3_: sweet!15:40
davidbarthpitti: if you want to trigger your scripts to rebuild the b-down charts, the dx graph should look different15:41
vishmpt: I'm confused... you want the feedback shown ... or is the comment to leave the behavior as it is now...  shall I unassign the papercut bug?15:41
mptvish, I'm saying it should depend on what server administrators want, not on what desktop users want.15:41
pittidavidbarth: rebuilding15:42
pittidavidbarth: (note that it always takes some 10 minutes before whiteboard changes propagate to production DB)15:42
vishmpt: since papercuts are for the desktop users .. so the bug is not a papercut it that sense..right?15:42
pittidavidbarth: ERROR: dx-lucid-application-indicator: invalid state "inprogress (blocked in the packaging queue)" for work item "[agateau] add dbusmenu support to kdelibs"15:43
mptvish, I don't know. I think the Server team has been doing papercuts, but I don't know whether they use a project for it, and if so, what one.15:43

djsiegelrickspencer3_: ah, ok16:13
djsiegelI just meant, is gwibber going to be a standalone, user-facing application in Lucid16:13
rickspencer3_djsiegel, I'16:14
rickspencer3_m sure how we are going to handle the UI part, but I assume it will be a stand alone app so there is some way to view your microblog feeds16:14

rickspencer3hi seb12818:33
seb128hey rickspencer318:33
seb128how are you?18:34
rickspencer3excited18:34
rickspencer3looking forward to Paris18:35
seb128about?18:35
seb128oh right ;-)18:35
rickspencer3haven't been there in 24 years!18:35
rickspencer3(well, except the airport)18:35
rickspencer3and looking forward to seeing didrocks, and pitti and Neil, and davidbarth, etc...18:35
seb128(which we will not talk about right? ;-)18:35
seb128is your french ready for that now you think? ;-)18:36
rickspencer3seb128, sadly not18:36
seb128yeah18:36
rickspencer3I was practicing, though18:36
seb128I'm pondering joining for a day18:36
seb128I will see next week how the week turns18:36
rickspencer3seb128, sounds good18:36
rickspencer3no pressure18:36
seb128I don't need to book anything in advance if I want to come18:36
seb128I just have to catch a train18:36
rickspencer3kewl18:36
rickspencer3looks like the desktop team did quite a good job for a218:38
seb128\o/18:38
rickspencer3very good progress18:38
seb128I'm just slightly unhappy about login speed18:38
seb128we still have lot to win there18:38
rickspencer3this is keeping me away at night18:38
rickspencer3I did discuss this with robbiew at length18:38
asacaway ;)?18:38
asachehe18:39
rickspencer3I don't know what is going to happen18:39
seb128I don't think the target is doable to be honest18:39
seb128but let's see what we manage to do18:39
rickspencer3but we had to cut touch UI, a lot of social from the start features, etc...18:39
seb128there is just a limit of what you can do on a sucky cpu in a few seconds18:39
rickspencer3so I am wondering if we've hit the point of diminishing returns in terms of user benefits18:40
asachow much time is currently needed/wanted?18:40
rickspencer3asac, we're supposed to be down to 4 seconds, and we are 10+ now18:40
asac(just curious)18:40
asacouch. ok18:40
asacso maybe dont start nautilus ;)18:41
asacor isnt that even in that time?18:41
rickspencer3well, that 10+ is like half of where we used to be18:41
asacj.k.18:41
rickspencer3asac, I think we would also have to not start gnome panel18:41
asacyeah. feels like a good improvement if it doesnt get better18:41
rickspencer3so, the desktop wouldn't have too much value in that state ;)18:41
asacgnome panel is indeed kind of slow18:41
rickspencer3in the meantime, it is still our goal to hit the target18:42
seb128asac, well not starting nautilus is an option18:42
seb128we still have some 8 seconds18:42
seb128nautilus is not the limiting part18:42
asacthats why i mentioned it first ... on my desktop nautilus startup time is really annoying sometimes18:42
seb128and those take some 8 seconds on the atm18:43
seb128atom18:43
asaclike i start working and then at some point mounts auto pop up etc.18:43
seb128but 3 seconds on my 2 years old laptop config18:43
seb128that's not nautilus18:43
rickspencer3a3 is start up time, proprietary driver robustness, a couple of social from the start items, firefox support mdoel, and UNE18:43
seb128that's probably the devicekit layer events coming late18:43
rickspencer3at a high level18:43
asacthe popping up certinaly doesnt happen before nautilus is loaded. for me it felt that it happens exactly when the nautilus stuff finished18:43
asacbut right. could be independent18:44
seb128if you have good cpu nautilus start in some 3 seconds18:44
seb128at least on my dua centrino 2.4G18:44
asacwhich can be much if gnome-panel is also still rumbling18:44
seb128the mini atom takes 8 seconds18:44
asacor isnt that in parallel (felt that way)18:44
seb128it is18:44
seb128but you might have a slow disk and hit io limits?18:45
asaccould be. its a X61 lenovo ... so not that old18:45
asacbut disk is definitly not fastest18:45
asacbut i hope i can say that i have a good average computer for our market :)18:45
seb128asac, http://people.canonical.com/~seb128/bootchart/seb128-dellmini-lucid-20100106-2.png18:45
asacbut my nautilus and gnome-panel are customized ... so not comparable to clean install18:46
seb128it's where we stand now on the mini18:46
asacotoh, i hate windows for getting slower over time ... this isnt the same in that it doesnt get worse at some point, but feels a bit like it if you start with aclean system18:46
seb128asac, you take that laptop at the sprint?18:47
seb128we can have a look to login speed there if you want...18:47
asachmm. the bootchart doesnt show when a process is in io wait?18:48
asacor is it just not recognizable?18:48
seb128asac, it does18:48
seb128it's red on the bars18:49
seb128the mini is ssd drive18:49
seb128there is no io issue there18:49
seb128the issue is purely cpu use18:49
seb128see the charts18:49
seb128graphs18:49
asaci dont say io throughput, but waiting on io ... like sleeping on a select/poll18:49
seb128the first one, blue, is cpu18:49
asaci would think all white areas are like that18:49
seb128oh, I don't think bootchart can tell that18:49
seb128but I don't know about better tools either18:50
seb128so we use that for now18:50
asacpoint is if there are is like white areas in the middle of blue ones, that usually means its waiting for sometihng18:50
asacif that is paired with no red anywhere, its not optimally scaled18:50
mvompt: hey, its easy to add those buttons when not in fixed-height mode18:50
mptmvo, I guess contact lists don't get nearly as long18:51
mvompt: its really only a issue with very big datasets that are displayed18:51
mptyah18:51
mvompt: yeah18:51
mvompt: I haven't had time yet, but it should be easy to write something to try it out18:51
mvompt: then we test performance on a netbook, if its reaonsable there, then we can do it18:51
seb128asac, well the blue curve indicates it's 100%cpu all time18:51
seb128so I would think it's cpu bounded18:52
seb128why would it sit there doing nothing?18:52
rickspencer3hiya didrocks18:53
mvompt: actually that is a interessting mockup, because AFAIK there are still no real buttons available, I can only do the fake buttons (as the arrow buttons we have currently) that are close to the real thing18:53
didrockshey rickspencer318:53
rickspencer3seb128, do you use evo?18:53
didrockshey mvo and seb128 :)18:55
asacseb128: so what is gnome-panel doing in the 2/4 section where is so much white?18:56
seb128hey didrocks18:57
seb128rickspencer3, yes18:57
rickspencer3seb128, is there a function to archive a folder on a disc locally?18:58
seb128asac, dunno, I've been profiling nautilus so far18:58
rickspencer3like export to a .gz?18:58
seb128rickspencer3, not that I know18:58
seb128rickspencer3, I usually create a mbox account and creates folders there18:58
seb128and copy emails to that18:58
rickspencer3ok18:58
seb128it give you files in a dir18:59
seb128one mbox file by box18:59
rickspencer3makes sense18:59
seb128box = folder18:59
mvohey didrocks, happy new year!18:59
rickspencer3I tried dragging the emails to a directory and evo went all nutty18:59
seb128asac, the cpu is still at 100% though18:59
seb128asac, so it might be waiting on applets to load18:59
seb128that's done in a sync way19:00
didrocksmvo: happy new year to you too :)19:00
seb128rickspencer3, weird19:00

baptistemmpitti, about hal deprecation I don't remember you mentionned cheese19:16
=== asac_ is now known as asac
baptistemmhmm, hal is not a debian dependence of cheese19:17
rickspencer3baptistemm, there is a bug on cheese depending on hal19:19
rickspencer3I think seb128 mentioned that hal dependency is removed in upstream git19:19
baptistemmbecause I can see it crying because of missing hal :)19:19
rickspencer3yeah19:19
rickspencer3you have to install hal and then run sudo hald :/19:19
baptistemmokay cheese has switched to libgudev I guess19:20
rickspencer3so the plan is, I think, to get the halectimized version into lucid, and if we can't do that, then we'll have to figure out how to start hal from a dbus signal19:20
bryycerickspencer3, wow that'd suck if we brough back hal for cheese, after all the pain we've taken getting X to not need it ;-)19:22
rickspencer3bryyce, well, we wouldn't "bring it back" in it's current form19:22
rickspencer3but I seriously doubt this is going to happen19:23
rickspencer3my point was just, we'll support cheese19:23
rickspencer3it would suck to not have cheese for netbooks19:23
bryycerickspencer3, btw dunno if you saw my blueprint update, but wacom tablets are still broken from the hal removal19:26
* mvo celebrates commit r500 in software-center19:28

rickspencer3bryyce, what's the plan?19:29
* rickspencer3 high fives mvo19:30
bryycerickspencer3, I added a note about it in the release notes19:30
rickspencer3bryyce, do you envision being fixed for a3?19:31
bryycerickspencer3, I hope so.  We're stuck waiting on upstream to do the development work to move from hal to udev19:31
* rickspencer3 nods19:32
rickspencer3bryyce, let's strive to hold back on commitments to make sure we have bandwidth post a3 to address issues like this19:32
* rickspencer3 subtly reinforces point from last team meeting19:33
bryyceI notice from the burn-down charts that we still have more tasks to do than we've done so far ;-)19:33
rickspencer3bryyce, right19:34
rickspencer3so we know for a fact we aren't going to get them all done19:34
rickspencer3so we should decide now what's not going to get done19:34
rickspencer3dissapoint people now, rather than suprise and piss them off later19:35
rickspencer3;)19:35
bryyceyeah...  and I know I've been neglecting bug triaging in order to get all the a2 tasks done19:35
