chrisccoulsonyou're working late this evening seb128 ;)00:41
seb128chrisccoulson, yeah, alpha2 freeze is tomorrow so I prefer to push updates today if I can00:42
chrisccoulsonseb128 - are there any other updates you particularly want to get in A2?00:42
seb128chrisccoulson, no00:43
seb128those I'm doing now I don't especially care about getting those in a200:43
seb128that's just that once they are done I don't have to think about those00:43
seb128and can switch back to login speed and indicators00:43
seb128which are the things I want to work on00:43
seb128I'm doing gedit right now and I will be done00:44
seb128I will let other updates for those who are interested ;-)00:44
seb128the libxklavier, libgnomekbd updates have a soname change and some refactoring00:45
chrisccoulsonyeah, i need to look at login speed again too :)00:45
seb128so that will rather wait after alpha00:45
seb128gnome-keyring I'm not sure we want to update00:45
seb128I've sent an email to upstream about their plan for this cycle00:45
chrisccoulsonseb128 - yeah, i saw the announcement for that00:45
chrisccoulsonso, they've actually split it?00:45
seb128yes00:45
chrisccoulsonso that's a new source package now?00:45
chrisccoulsondefinately no good for A2 ;)00:46
seb128libgnome-keyring is a different source00:46
seb128right00:46
seb128I'm not sure it's a good plan for lucid00:46
seb128they did quite some refactoring00:46
seb128like gnome-keyring uses a dbus api now00:46
seb128and the lib is only wrapping that for compatibility or something00:47
chrisccoulsonyeah, seems like the changes are quite heavy00:47
seb128robert_ancell, if you feel doing a break from gdm and doing a desktop update gnome-games is yours ;-)00:48
robert_ancellseb128, will do00:48
seb128thanks00:48
chrisccoulsoni hope it doesn't take me 3 hours to get to work tomorrow morning00:49
seb128did I already say that having the tetris game not named tetris is stupid? ;-)00:49
seb128chrisccoulson, did you figure what happened there?00:49
chrisccoulsonseb128 - i think it was just due to the ice. i didn't see any accidents, but none of the roads i drive on had been gritted00:50
chrisccoulsoni could have walked to work faster this morning00:50
chrisccoulsoni'll end up having to work over the weekend to make up time ;)00:50
seb128you should have worked in the car ;-)00:51
chrisccoulsonlol00:51
chrisccoulsonif i had a laptop, then that would be perfect :)00:51
robert_ancellseb128, hey, is there any plans to make a C# version of launchpad-integration?00:53
seb128not by me00:54
robert_ancellseb128, oh yes, the new game names are awful...00:54
seb128who did decide on those?00:54
robert_ancellseb128, not sure, I think it was the SOC people who rewrote them00:54
robert_ancellI think there's a trademark issue with Tetris but I'm never sure about that one00:55
seb128like somebody is going to sue you because you named the gnome game gnometris?00:55
seb128come on... ;-)00:56
seb128could you try to put some common sense to the other team member there00:56
seb128the tetris game should be *tris00:57
robert_ancellIANAL :)01:00
seb128!!!01:02
chrisccoulsonheh, i wonder how long it is before i start getting abusive comments on bug 42888401:09
ubottuLaunchpad bug 428884 in gnome-screensaver "gnome-screensaver-command --poke no longer inhibits screensaver" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/42888401:09
seb128chrisccoulson, oh, that didn't happen yet?01:11
* seb128 starts writting01:11
chrisccoulsonseb128 - i've just backed out the patch which fixes it in karmic, as it causes a regression01:11
chrisccoulsonand i have a real patch to fix it, but it depends on another bug in xorg being fixed first01:11
seb128right, I've been reading the ubuntu-x discussion01:12
seb128the didn't happen yet was a joke, but it's clearly too late for me to success at making one01:12
chrisccoulsonunfortunately, the xorg change would have a high regression potential, as the regression there was to fix weird races with idletime and DPMS blanking01:12
seb128;-)01:12
chrisccoulsonheh :)01:13
seb128yeah, the bug sucks01:13
seb128but it's only screensaver01:13
seb128a bit annoying but not end of the world01:13
chrisccoulsonyeah, it's quite annoying. and it only affects components that i don't use ;)01:13
seb128those users clearly have bad taste!01:14
chrisccoulsonlol01:14
chrisccoulsonthey all use VLC01:14
seb128it seems quite popular01:14
chrisccoulsonand it works perfectly ok in totem01:14
seb128ok, enough work for me for today01:20
seb128I know how the week is going to end if I start abusing too much01:20
seb128I will feel too tired and useless01:20
chrisccoulsonyeah, i think i might finish for the night soon as well01:22

chrisccoulsongood morning everyone08:43
pittihey chrisccoulson08:45
chrisccoulsonhey pitti, how are you?08:46
pittiRiddell: there's one WI for you for alpha-2 "kdm needs equivalent patches to gdm" (for https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-lucid-boot-experience); I assume this is the updated upstart conditions?08:46
pittichrisccoulson: c'est bon, arrived in Paris yesterday; doing sprint now08:46
chrisccoulsonpitti - excellent :)08:47
chrisccoulsondid you see the scrollback from yesterday?08:47
pittichrisccoulson: no, my server went down last nicht08:52
pittinight08:52
chrisccoulsonpitti - the recent gnome-screensaver SRU in karmic caused a regression, which 3 people reported separately yesterday08:53
chrisccoulsonso i had to roll back the change for now, as there seems to be no other way to fix the original bug :(08:54
pittichrisccoulson: ah, saw the -changes mail now; thanks08:57
pittichrisccoulson: it didn't move to -updates yet, right? so the regression was just in proposed08:58
chrisccoulsonpitti - yeah, it has been in -updates since december i think08:58
chrisccoulsoni'm slightly confused why we only started getting reports yesterday though08:58
pittioh, oops08:58
chrisccoulsonpitti - oh, not quite. it went in to -updates on 2/0108:59
pittichrisccoulson: so the new one should be copied to updates right now09:00
chrisccoulsonpitti - slangasek has already done that now i think09:00
pittiah, I see09:00
pittinice09:00
pittichrisccoulson: so 505789  still needs to be fixed in lucid?09:00
seb128good morning09:01

seb128the mini got no screen after boot09:01
pittiseb128: what's wrong?09:01
seb128just what seems to be plymonth09:01
chrisccoulsonpitti - yeah, i wasn't too sure what to do about lucid. for karmic, i just rolled back the patch. for lucid, i have the real gnome-screensaver fix, but it doesn't work yet due to a xorg regression09:01
chrisccoulsonhey seb12809:01
seb128and I don't manage to open the grub2 menu09:01

seb128it's there I can move it it highlight things09:02
seb128but I can't see it09:02
chrisccoulsonpitti - ScottK mentioned last night about notifying the TB about the regression in karmic. i just send an e-mail to the mailing list right?09:02
pittichrisccoulson: it's not such a biggie, but thanks09:02
chrisccoulsonpitti - thanks09:03

seb128I will add those back10:01
seb128pitti, thanks for fixing piware.de ;-)10:21
chrisccoulsonhyperair - g-p-m is in main btw (you've subscribed the wrong sponsors) ;)10:26
seb128speaking of which, does somebody plan to update that to 2.29?10:31
pittiseb128: heh10:32
pittiseb128: I'm grateful, too :)10:32
seb128;-)10:32
pittiso versions.html should work again now10:32
seb128it does10:33
chrisccoulsonseb128 - i'm working on the 2.29 update for g-p-m10:34
chrisccoulsonbut i've got to re-write the notify-osd patch, as the notification code has changed a lot10:35
seb128chrisccoulson, you rock as usual ;-)10:35
seb128oh :-(10:35
chrisccoulsonseb128 - the notification code is common with g-s-d now, so i was thinking of making the notify-osd patch common between the 2 packages now10:35
chrisccoulson(if i can)10:35
chrisccoulsonit should make maintenance a bit easier10:35
seb128that would be nice10:35
pittikenvandine, didrocks: FYI, I didn't find a bzr for ubuntu-netbook-default-settings; can we just agree to use lp:ubuntu/ubuntu-netbook-default-settings ? (I'm committing there now)10:39
seb128brb reboot with fixed xorg10:40
hyperairchrisccoulson: oh whoops.10:53
hyperairchrisccoulson: sorry, it was a reflex action.10:53
chrisccoulsonhyperair - no worries. i can unsubscribe u-u-s from the bug10:53
hyperairsure10:53
hyperairthanks10:53
chrisccoulsoni'll take a look at your patch, and probably roll it in to the 2.29.x update and upload it all together10:54
hyperairsure, thanks =)10:54
hyperairif possible i'd like to get it SRU'd after that.10:54
hyperairseems like a pretty annoying issue that impacts a significant number of people10:55
chrisccoulsonyeah, the fix looks fairly trivial and it's a regression from jaunty too, so it would probably be a good candidate10:57
chrisccoulson(although, i cant make that decision anyway ;) )10:57
Riddellpitti: what a WI?10:57

seb128re11:09
seb128as usual, when you want to quickly reboot on a fixed system you get a fsck 15 minutes run11:10
pitti... and no esc key right now..11:10
seb128right11:10
seb128on the good side xorg is fixed after reinstall xorg-server-core11:10
Riddellpitti: do I get told when they get assigned to me?11:10
chrisccoulsoni can't remember the last time i saw a fsck on my box11:11
pittiRiddell: just on the WI overview, and of course on blueprint diffs11:11
chrisccoulsoni assume they always happen when my girlfriend powers it on :)11:11
chrisccoulsonlol11:11
Riddellpitti: possible communication problem there11:12
seb128;-)11:12
seb128on the mini fsck takes like 5 seconds11:13
seb128it's only 8G and it's ssd11:13
pittiRiddell: also, the previous WI tracker pages didn't have WIs for other teams, that made it harder11:13
pittiRiddell: apparently it doesn't cause kdm to break, so it's fine to move to a311:14
pittiRiddell: I guess it was just to start it earlier, for boot time optimization?11:14
Riddellpitti: how do we know it doesn't cause kdm to break?11:15
chrisccoulsonseb128 - if all my partitions are fsck'd in the same boot, it takes nearly 45 minutes ;)11:15
seb128urg11:16
chrisccoulsonbut that is around 800GB of rotary disk11:16
pittiRiddell: well, you would have complained weeks ago if kdm was broken in lucid, I suppose?11:17
Riddellwe'll have to see from the daily CDs (if they've built)11:19
asacseb128: guess you have no idea how to run the testsuite of libplist? http://paste.ubuntu.com/355444/11:19
seb128asac, no I don't11:20
cassidyseb128, kenvandine: hi. I just released Empathy 2.29.5.1 you should package this one instead of 2.29.5 which doesn't include any translation11:24
seb128cassidy, ok thanks11:25
seb128cassidy, you forget to put a verb in the codename ;-)11:30
chrisccoulsonseb128 - are you at the sprint this week as well?11:38
seb128chrisccoulson, not yet11:39
seb128chrisccoulson, but it's 2 hours of train for here so I will go there for 1 day or 211:39
chrisccoulsonseb128 - that's quite convenient then :)11:39
seb128yes ;-)11:39
cassidyseb128, http://encyclopediadramatica.com/I_accidentally_X :p11:40
seb128cassidy, ah, I was missing references ;-)11:40
seb128thanks!11:40
* chrisccoulson is confused11:42
loolpitti: Hola, gnome-pilot ships /usr/share/applications/gpilotd-control-applet.desktop which has no X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=gnome-pilot during build; that gets added afterwards by some pkg mangling magic; problem is that dh_md5sums records the md5 without the field12:11
loolpitti: How do you think the core issue is best solved?  By patching the gettext-domain in the .desktop file at build time?12:12
* lool lunch -- bbl &12:13
pittilool: that would work definitively, and should be the easiest way12:13
seb128hey Amaranth__12:37
seb128so lucid boots 1.5 second slower compared to previous week12:40

seb128tedg, hey14:26
seb128tedg, I've some questions for you14:26
tedgseb128: Morning!14:26
seb128tedg, do you have time for questions now?14:27
kenvandinetedg!14:27
seb128or do you want to deal with bug fixes first and talk later?14:27
* kenvandine wants tarballs14:27
kenvandine:)14:27
seb128we don't need tarball, we can backport commits!14:27
tedgHeh, ask questions.  I'll try to make kenvandine's tarballs while we talk :)14:28
seb128tedg, ok, first is the fallback, how will it work?14:28
seb128you will have the same menu on a gtkstatusicon?14:28
seb128for something like nautilus, which has an icon right should we turn the appindicator use as a runtime thing or a buildtime one?14:29
tedgseb128: Yeah, it'll make a GtkStatusIcon with the same menu.14:29
seb128like if build with appindicator it will use it and fallback to the appindicator fallback way14:29
tedgseb128: It'll be runtime.14:29
tedgI think to get patches upstream we'll need build time checks.14:29
seb128your fallback will be14:29
seb128but it will be poor compared to upstream's way14:29
tedgBut, I'm not as concerned about build time checks :)14:29
seb128ok, I've a nautilus patch with build time change14:30
tedgSure, if they want to do something special, we'll support that too.14:30
seb128right now since you have no fallback it's indicator or nothing at runtime14:30
tedgThe idea is they can replace the fallback function with whatever they want.14:30
seb128ok, so 2 smalls questions14:30
tedgYes.  But I expect to land fallback this week (not in A2 but when the archive opens again)14:31
seb128- would you make the nautilus copy icon, which is a toggle right now, a toggle or a show entry?14:31
seb128ie the menu having show only and user can close the dialog to mask it14:31
seb128or should the menu use a toggle with a checkbox or something?14:31
tedgPersonally I prefer the "show" method.14:33
seb128ok, it's also easier to do14:33
seb128good14:33
tedgI think that the "X" in the corner of the window is more universal for "hide" ;)14:33
seb128well both work in the toggle case14:33
seb128next question14:33
seb128do you have tooltips in some way?14:34
seb128like the current icon indicate how much has been copied and how much remains14:34
seb128that's for nautilus14:34
tedgNo, we don't.14:34
seb128should that info be dropped?14:34
seb128or made a menu label14:34
seb128or...?14:34
tedgI'm not sure on that one.  mpt do you have an opinion here? ^14:34
seb128tedg, ok thanks, I will do a first drop without it and we can improve later if needed14:36
mpttedg, is this a notification area item you're talking about? If so, which one?14:36
seb128mpt, the nautilus copy icon14:36
mptcopy icon?14:36
seb128mpt, right now the icon show copy details in a tooltip14:36
seb128try doing a copy which takes some time in nautilus14:37
seb128it will display a nautilus area icon which you can click on or mouseover to get details on how much is done and to do still there14:37
mpt"There is not enough space on the destination. Try to remove files to make space."14:37
mptpoop14:37
mptah, I get a notification area element when emptying the Trash too14:39
mptbut it has no tooltip14:39
seb128mpt, the tooltip says something around the line "18000 items copied, 7500 to copy still"14:40
mptah, "1 file operation active"14:40
seb128hum, you are right14:41
seb128I was looking at the wrong lines14:41
mptOh, I see, the notification area item exists so you can get back the progress window if you close it14:41
mptI have a much more elegant solution to that14:41
mptMake the progress window minimizable but not closable14:42
seb128mpt, I would not call that elegant14:42
seb128mpt, is the way to keep stuff you don't care about cluttering your alt-tab and tasks14:42
seb128is -> it's14:42
mptThat way, (a) you eliminate any confusion about whether the close button cancels the task, and (b) you don't need the notification area item14:43
seb128again a small win for beginners traded for annoyances for all other users...14:43
mptMinimized windows already get sent to the back of the Alt Tab list14:43
milanbvI guess this kind of problem will be solved by the new Shell's message bar, in the future14:44
seb128well, wherever you put them it still means you have an extra item to cycle14:44
seb128and it's still tasklist noise14:44
mptI don't think it's a good solution to task list noise to move something from the task list to the notification area14:47
mptEspecially when most of the stuff in the notification area doesn't behave that way, while everything in the task list does14:48
mptThere are other ways we could reduce clutter in the task list, e.g. giving minimized windows less space than non-minimized ones.14:49
seb128it will still not be as good as what we have now, which is out of the user way14:50
seb128it might not be good from a design perspective but it's handy for users14:50
seb128it's a bit of a shame that better design mean less practical for users14:51
tedgmpt: But we don't have a better alt-tab system today.  So we need to design for Lucid, which has the same ol' stuff.14:53
mptseb128, that's coming perilously close to a false dichotomy :-)14:54
seb128mpt, I'm just saying that I would hate having that in the alt-tab list14:54
seb128it would only the risk that I go one item too far and cancel the hours of copy by error14:55
seb128+add14:55
seb128I just want to copy to sit in a corner and goes on14:55
mptoh, I see what you mean!14:55
seb128I don't want it to be in my way and one click away for stopping the action by error14:55
mptThe Cancel button is focused by default in the window14:55
mptThat is quite silly.14:55
seb128there is no other button there14:55
seb128what else would you want to focus?14:55
rickspencer3kenvandine, whenever I try to use U1 on my lucid netbook I get a weird error condition14:56
seb128or you want a confirmation dialog?14:56
mptseb128, nothing. Have the Cancel button respond to Esc but not to Space or Enter.14:56
seb128well you could still esc with the wrong dialog focussed14:56
seb128not that is not a strong argument14:56
seb128but it adds risk of error to annoyance14:56
seb128I really don't want it on screen ;-)14:57
seb128anyway we have clearly different view on the topic14:57
kenvandinerickspencer3, ?14:57
seb128going back to what I was doing14:57
mptI think the number of people in the world who close Nautilus's move/copy window to make it less likely that they will cancel a move/copy after Alt Tabbing could be counted on two hands14:57
rickspencer3kenvandine, I get a cloud with /!\14:57
mptbut, I see your point14:57
rickspencer3and when I click on it it runs apport14:57
kenvandinethat means it isn't connected14:58
kenvandinerickspencer3, can we debug in a little bit?14:58
rickspencer3sho14:58
* kenvandine is trying to fix something :)14:58
=== robbiew_ is now known as robbiew
seb128mpt, right, the error point is lame, the alt-tab and tasklist clutter is not ;-)14:59
seb128speaking about design I upgraded a friend's box this weekend14:59
seb128one of the first thing he told me by im a bit later is "the notification bubble placement is buggy"14:59
mptNot surprised :-)15:00
seb128where do we stand for those in lucid?15:00
mptwe're trying three different placements15:00
seb128when will see those in distro?15:00
seb128would be nice to have something to get user feedback on early ;-)15:00
rickspencer3*sigh*15:01

vishrickspencer3: hi... in case you've missed it ... i'v submitted a svg 48px icon to fix Bug 48979515:06

rickspencer3vish nice15:10
rickspencer3hold on15:10
chrisccoulsonseb128 / mpt - is the nautilus progress dialog really necessary? or could the progress be shown in the drop-down menu attached to the indicator instead?15:19
seb128chrisccoulson: it's not really practical if you have several copies going and want a way to stop one15:20
chrisccoulsonyeah, thats true15:21
mptseb128, I don't know when we'll see them, that's up to dbarth and MacSlow. See <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#Outside%20the%20bubble> for details.15:21
seb128mpt, thanks15:22
mptchrisccoulson, I think the reverse -- use just the window, and get rid of the menu15:22
chrisccoulsonmpt - but that will leave my task list cluttered15:23
vishhmm..15:25
* vish just got a restart notification after kernel update... thought we got rid of those :(15:26
chrisccoulsonvish - the restart dialog?15:26
chrisccoulsonyou should still get those AFAIK...15:26
vishyeah , the restart dialogue....15:27
mptchrisccoulson, yes, but the status menu area (like the notification area before it) is not a secondary task list.15:27
vishchrisccoulson: but this is the first time i'm getting it on lucid... pitti said it was gone15:27
mptvish, we got rid of the notification area item, not the alerts. When we get time, we'll embed the alert into the updates window.15:27
chrisccoulsonmpt - can't the status menu area indicate the status of file transfers?15:28
chrisccoulsoni would argue that the status of a file transfer is not a task15:29
vishmpt: hmm.. weird.. in Lucid , this is the first time i'm getting it.. well i was happy it was gone ;) damn it :(15:29
vish;)15:29
mptchrisccoulson, it could, but the progress window can do that better (even when it's minimized). The use of progress windows doesn't really depend on what anyone's definition of a "task" is -- it's for anything that's taking a long time.15:32
mptchrisccoulson, in <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CustomStatusMenuDesignGuidelines> I've written "You do not need a custom status menu if: * You just want the program to take up a small space in the panel when minimized." If we made an exception for Nautilus, I don't know on what grounds we would make it, i.e. what we would say when app developers said "If Nautilus then why not my application too."15:33
chrisccoulsonmpt - thanks, i'll have a read of that15:34
jcastroseb128: do you know if jockey with app indicator is working yet in lucid? (Last I checked the Qt frontend broke or something?)16:06
seb128jcastro, kde still broken afaik16:06
seb128so jockey can't build16:06
jcastroseb128: I am assuming that would be fixed for a2?16:07
seb128jcastro, don't ask me about kde16:08
seb128ask Riddell16:08
jcastrowait, does the jockey kde frontend not build or the whole thing?16:08
seb128jcastro, both16:08
seb128jcastro, those are not separated sources16:09
seb128no kde build = no build16:09
jcastroright16:09
jcastroJockey not working would be important for a2 though right?16:09
ccheneyalso no OOo for a2 so alt disk will be oversized :(16:12
rickspencer3ccheney, you mean no *new* OOo for a2, right?16:13
seb128jcastro, not working I guess, not using the new indicator not so16:14
rickspencer3seb128, jockey will work, correct? just won't have the new indicator UI?16:14
ccheneyyea no new non-oversized OOo for a216:14
seb128rickspencer3, afaik yes16:14
ccheneythe one i uploaded last week can't build due to the kde breakage16:15
jcastrodid the new indicator ui break the kde bits or was that something else?16:15
rickspencer3ccheney, so there will be some OOo, right, just not the latest one you uploaded?16:15
ccheneyrickspencer3: yea the previous one is still there, shouldn't be any problems since it couldn't build on any arch16:15
ccheneyso no problem with any vs all being built16:16
seb128jcastro, I think it's something in the kde stack16:16
jcastrok16:16
rickspencer3jcastro, go ahead and ask Riddell16:16
jcastroI was about to, heh16:16
* Riddell awaits being asked16:16
jcastroRiddell: any idea?16:16
Riddelljockey is waiting on kdebindings which is waiting on sip which hasn't been released16:17
RiddellI could do a sip snapshot but it's binary incompatible and I don't know if there are more binary incompatible changes due before he releases, I'll need to ask upstream16:17
jcastrook so post-a2?16:18
Riddellwe're in freeze, so yes16:19
jcastrocool, thanks!16:20
rickspencer3team meeting time16:30

* seb128 hugs kenvandine16:31
seb128rickspencer3, excellent16:31
rickspencer3ok, I am sensing that a2 is coming together, but there is still a bit of stress and folks are working hard16:32
rickspencer3so I will strive to keep the meeting short16:32
rickspencer3unfortunately, there are a lot of important topics though :)16:32
rickspencer3so, any other business?16:33
rickspencer3j/k16:33
kenvandinehehe16:33
seb128;-)16:33
rickspencer3so randa was oof, which provides me the prefect cover story ...16:33
rickspencer3I did not *totally* forget to follow up on conference list16:33
rickspencer3oof = out of office16:33
rickspencer3don't ask me why it's not ooo16:34
rickspencer3it just isn't, pitti16:34
rickspencer3;)16:34
rickspencer3ok16:34
seb128lol16:34
rickspencer3kenvandine, partner update?16:34
kenvandineok16:34
kenvandineOLS: has no packages for a2, but we are starting to get things that will land in a3 into a ppa16:34
kenvandineit isn't ready for wide spread testing, but the music store is coming together16:35
kenvandinethe rb plugin and the u1 widget set is in a ppa now16:35
kenvandineDX: all their packages are uploaded for a216:35
kenvandinewell, minus the one seb128 is sponsoring for me :)16:35
seb128(just uploaded your indicator-me update)16:36
rickspencer3kenvandine, why the OLS ppa? why not just straight into Ubuntu?16:36
kenvandinethx!16:36
kenvandinerickspencer3, wouldn't be good16:36
pitti(getting a little late..., so don't break it :) )16:36
seb128kenvandine, check emails!16:36
kenvandinethe store lets you buy, but it doesn't actually download16:36
kenvandine:)16:36
seb128(it's uploaded)16:36
kenvandineso we don't want people doing that16:36
seb128lol16:36
rickspencer3sounds like a good business to me16:36
seb128I can see that making users unhappy16:36
kenvandineit will land in lucid when it is safe :)16:36
rickspencer3but I guess customer sat suffers16:36
kenvandinethat is it for now16:36
kenvandine:)16:36
rickspencer3ok16:36
rickspencer3kenvandine, any prediction when status updates from Me Menu will land?16:37
kenvandineno...16:37
rickspencer3okay16:37
kenvandinei haven't heard anything16:37
* kenvandine makes a note to chase people about that16:37
rickspencer3please let tedg know that I would like to see that asap!16:37
* rickspencer3 whip cracking noises16:37
seb128any clue when we will get notify-osd changes for lucid? do we still need the debug on?16:37
kenvandineseb128, i'll check16:38
seb128it's not nice looking and I don't feel it being useful16:38
kenvandineyeah16:38
kenvandinei agree16:38
pittiI'm fine with hte priority debug16:38
rickspencer3ACTION: kenvandine to get eta on status updtae from me menu16:38
pittibut not the red lines16:38
pittinot that I'd see any bug with their help16:38
rickspencer3ACTION: kenvandine to get eta on turning off debugging for notifications16:38
rickspencer3thanks kenvandine16:38
seb128turning debug off trivial, turning lines need changing code16:38
rickspencer3waste of time, imo16:39
seb128right16:39
rickspencer3just turn it off when we have the necessary data16:39
rickspencer3moving on?16:39
seb128just stop using that mode when we think we got the feedback we wanted16:39
seb128yes16:39
rickspencer3Riddell, Kubuntu update?16:39
rickspencer3ccheney, mozilla update?16:40
ccheneystill working on libsoup ran into a weird issue with a few functions but expect to get it resolved today16:41
ccheneywas a bit delayed due to needing to upload OOo last week, then found it didn't build due to kde issues16:41
Riddellahem16:42
Riddellmesa issues16:42
rickspencer3Riddell, nice save16:42
rickspencer3:)16:42
ccheneyOOo 3.2.0 rc2 also comes out this week so once the mesa issues are resolved hopefully i can get that in as well16:42
pittireinstalling xorg-server-core helped me16:42
* ccheney hugs Riddell :)16:42
seb128pitti, that's probably not the same issue16:43
seb128pitti, the libglx issue is a race between alternative updates and unpack16:43
seb128pitti, that should not have effect on buildds16:43
rickspencer3ccheney, so after libsoup, are there other libraries to hack these functions onto?16:43
pittioh, builds16:43
RiddellKubuntu update:16:44
Riddell-4.4 RC 1 is in, delayed due to mesa breakage but mostly compiled now16:44
ccheneyrickspencer3: yes need to fix webkit and epiphany as well, i think they won't be as much trouble though16:44
rickspencer3ccheney, thanks Riddell ga16:44
Riddell-alpha 2 candidate images going through early smoketesting16:44
Riddell-unknown whether KDM will start due to plymouth in alpha 2 (disappointing lack of communication here)16:44
Riddell-discovered that the mobile folks have a project called ubuntu mobile which will use KDE and plasma, talking with developers16:44
Riddell-kdebindings is blocking jockey.  kdebindings is being blocked by upstream SIP which needs a new release.16:44
Riddell-kubuntu-notifications-helper waiting on MIR16:44
Riddell-virtuoso (for nepomuk semantic desktop) waiting on MIR security review16:44
Riddell-firefox KDE integration apparantly needs patches split up else mozilla won't accept them (but suse managed?)16:44
rickspencer3"don't know if KDM will start"?16:45
rickspencer3what;'s the work around, uninstall plymouth?16:45
pittivirtuoso> I saw your followup, if you disabled all the network bits it sounds a lot less scary16:45
Riddellrickspencer3: can't uninstall from a live CD, we may need to do a KDM upload which stops plymouth as a quickish alpha 2 workaround16:46
pittikdm> plymouth disables itself on any VT change; I don't think it's specific to a particular *dm16:46
pittigdm doesn't know about plymouth at all16:46
pittibut well, in theeeeeory..16:46
Riddellthen maybe it won't be a problem16:46
rickspencer3let's see16:46
RiddellI have an ISO image to try now after the meeting16:46
rickspencer3ok16:47
rickspencer3keep us posted16:47
rickspencer3I'll get an audio update from TheMuso in the Eastern edition16:47
rickspencer3so, next16:47
rickspencer3staffing16:47
rickspencer3there's this didrocks person who joined the team?16:48
rickspencer3anyone heard of him before?16:48
seb128welcome didrocks!16:48

ccheneyhi :)16:48
seb128pitti, double the poke from me while you are at it ;-)16:48
didrocksthanks a lot ;-)16:48
pittiseb128: done16:48
didrocksseb128: he is really doing it!!!16:48
seb128pitti, thanks!16:48
seb128didrocks, I know ;-)16:49
* seb128 hugs pitti16:49
pittiwe're knitting together UNE NextGen here16:49
* seb128 joins tomorrow16:49
rickspencer3chouette!16:49
kenvandinewelcome didrocks!16:49
didrocksthanks kenvandine :)16:49
seb128how is rickspencer3's french working in Paris btw?16:49
rickspencer3okay, so je ne parles pas france16:50
didrocksseb128: he is improving a LOT :)16:50
seb128nice!16:50
rickspencer3so, staffing is really hot for us right now16:50
rickspencer3so, besides welcoming didrocks, we have:16:50
rickspencer31. two more positions like didrock's (UNE focus/Desktop generalists)16:51
rickspencer3I have some interviews set up next week, but more referals welcome16:51
rickspencer32. replace asac16:51
* rickspencer3 sniff16:51
ccheneyasac: clone yourself stat :)16:52
rickspencer3there is a promising candidate in the pipeline, so stay tuned16:52
rickspencer3right, we'd need to hire like five people to "replace asac"16:52
asacheh16:52
rickspencer3also, we have some contractor positions that are shorter term16:52
rickspencer32 are to work on ayatana integrations, that is patch apps to make them work with ayatana desktop assets16:53
rickspencer3and 1 to work with asac and chris on mozilla backport nuttiness16:53
rickspencer3I think asac has someone in mind for that one16:53
rickspencer3the 2 ayatana ones I don't think we have anyone firm yet, but I hope to by eow16:53
* rickspencer3 wipes sweat from brow16:53
rickspencer3any questions about staffing?16:53
ccheneyare the postings up on ubuntu.com?16:54
rickspencer3ccheney, not the contractor ones16:54
ccheneyer yea i meant the permanent ones16:54
rickspencer3but the UNE/desktop ones, and the 20% of asac one16:54
ccheneyok16:55
rickspencer3please refer good folks16:55
rickspencer3;)16:55
rickspencer3and if you are a good folk, please feel free to ping me16:55
rickspencer3ok, moving on from staffing16:55
rickspencer3bryyce, any chance you could provide a quick xorg update?16:55
bryycesure16:55
rickspencer3btw, nice change bryyce16:56
rickspencer3;)16:56
bryycepretty much all the main X.org merges are in place now.  A few drivers still need updates (e.g. wacom)16:56
bryycerickspencer3, ??16:56
rickspencer3bryce = bryyce16:56
pittiwhat was the reason for the extra y?16:56
bryyceah yes, I've become my evil clone16:56
bryycepitti, someone snagged 'bryce' when I wasn't looking16:57
bryyceanyway16:57
rickspencer3by duplicating a y chromosone, prerhaps?16:57
pittiit's almost as confusing as having random numbers tailing your nick16:57
* pitti ducks16:57
* rickspencer3 grrrr16:57
bryyceheh, guess no one reads star wars novels ;-)16:57
seb128!16:57
rickspencer3anyway, xorg ...16:57
bryyceanyway, so with the mesa merge finally in place, we've implemented the blueprint to move mesa to an alternatives system16:57
bryycewhich I think a few people have noticed16:57
didrocksnot at all… *hum*16:58
rickspencer3bryyce, *all* done?16:58
bryycepitti was right about the difficulty of doing alternative systems, but hopefully the issues are teething pains that will get ironed out16:58
pittibryyce: wait until you'll get the bug reports from real-world upgrades :-/16:58
* pitti crosses fingers16:58
bryyceyeah16:59
seb128hate alternatives16:59
rickspencer3great news16:59
pittibut I guess they can be treated with some more force, to keep them in automatic mode16:59
rickspencer3well ... I just want users with nvidia and ati to have a working Ubuntu17:00
rickspencer3thanks bryyce (and tseliot) good job17:00
bryyceI hope it does work out for the best; if we run into major issues it's still in the cards that we could revert it before release, but I really hope we don't need to17:00
bryycerickspencer3, thanks, I think that covers it.17:00
rickspencer3thank you bryyce17:01
rickspencer3ok, next topic is performance reviews17:01
rickspencer3these are due in the system by the end of the month17:01
rickspencer3please budget 30 - 90 minutes on your objectives17:01
seb128reviews? did we just do those?17:01
seb128oh, objectives17:01
rickspencer3(it's objectives, not reviews that are due, sorry)17:02
seb128right, sorry I got confused17:02
rickspencer3feel free to send me a draft in email, but expect to discuss at least briefly with me on the phone next week17:02
rickspencer3think about what you want to write in your next review, and think of some objectives that will help wtih that17:02
rickspencer3don't over-analyze!17:03
rickspencer3any questions about objectives?17:03
rickspencer3ok17:04
rickspencer3pitti, release status?17:04
pittifirst of all, congrats to everyone, we got a2 almost done17:04
pittihttp://macaroni.ubuntu.com/~pitti/workitems/canonical-desktop-team-lucid-alpha-2.html17:04
pittiwith the new WI tracker the reports uncovered a few WIs which previously fell through the cracks17:04
pittimostly because they were WIs assigned to us which were under the umbrella of a different team17:05
pittiI'd like to go through them quickly to see whether they are already done, or should be postoned17:05
pittiBTW, does everyone know that you can append #yourlaunchpadlogin to see your personal WI list?17:05
pittie. g. http://macaroni.ubuntu.com/~pitti/workitems/canonical-desktop-team-lucid-alpha-2.html#jr17:05
pittirick-rickspencer3 todo desktop-lucid-desktop-cloud Low support multiple types in cdimage scripts (make-web-indices ...)17:06
rickspencer3wtf?17:06
pittiis that actually relevant?17:06
pittiI thought the cloud stuff was by and large working17:06
rickspencer3I think that should be for smoser17:06
rickspencer3pitti, first approximation is done17:06
pittiit doesn't sound a2 critical to me, but then I don't really know what this WI is about in the first place17:06
pittiok, will reassign that one then17:06
pittiken-vandine todo dx-lucid-gtk-improvements High integrate patches in the gtk package17:07
rickspencer3put it into a3 for now, and I'll close it out if it is done or not relevant17:07
pittikenvandine: was that the ARGB stuff or client-side deco?17:07
pittirickspencer3: ack17:07
kenvandineboth17:07
kenvandinewhich isn't ready17:07
pittikenvandine: aren't these done?17:07
pittiah17:07
kenvandinecauses problems still17:07
pittikenvandine: would you mind to postpone this then?17:07
kenvandinecloser17:07
kenvandineyes17:07
rickspencer3this is the csd bug?17:07
* kenvandine does it17:07
kenvandinerickspencer3, csd is getting nixed for lucid17:08
kenvandinebut argb is still causing some problems17:08
kenvandinebratsche, has been fixing apps for us, and i think we are close to having the core stuff working17:08
rickspencer3sounds good17:08
pittijr todo foundations-lucid-boot-experience Essential kdm needs equivalent patches to gdm17:08
kenvandinebut not ready to subject the masses17:08
pittiRiddell and I talked about this already, but for the record17:08
pittiI think this means "start kdm earlier to optimize boot speed"17:09
rickspencer3if it's not ready for the masses soon, it won't be ready in Lucid17:09
pittii. e. take the gdm upstart start condition into kdm's upstart17:09
kenvandinepitti, can you change the milestone on dx-lucid-gtk-improvements? i can't17:09
Riddellthat's not about plymouth?17:09
pittiRiddell: I don't think it's a2 critical at all, and I don't think we should squeeze it into a2 at this point; OK?17:09
pittikenvandine: to a3?17:09
kenvandineyeah17:10
pittiRiddell: haven't read details, I don't think it's related to plymouth; gdm/kdm don't need to know about plymouth17:10
pittikenvandine: we don't need to; just move that item to the lucid-alpha-3 section17:10
Riddellpitti: do we know who created the work item?  then we could find out what it means17:10
pittikenvandine: I can move the entire spec for clarity, though17:10
kenvandinepitti, that is what we should do, imho17:11
pittikenvandine: done both17:11
kenvandinethx17:11
pittiRiddell: I suppose Keybuk, he's the drafter17:11
Riddellpitti: well whatever it is, it's not happening for alpha 217:12
pittiRiddell: as long as kdm starts up, I think it's fine; I'll just move it to a317:12
RiddellI'll poke keybuk and work out what he means17:12
RiddellKDM does seem to start up fine17:12
pittiRiddell: done17:12
pittibryceharrington todo desktop-lucid-xorg-triaging-diagnosis High Create python class that provides access to relevant data from the log file17:13
pittiRiddell: thanks17:13
pittibryyce: this is totally separate from the distro of course, and Apport only just started to work at all with the new kernel17:13
bryycepitti, it's not going into the release, so I'm leaving it to work on over the next day or two17:13
pittibryyce: I just wondered whether you actually want to work on that this week, or whether it's better suited for a317:13
pittidepending on your other mesa/bug triaging/testing workload17:14
pittiit seems worthwhile to do early, for more efficient bug triaging (I guess?)17:14
rickspencer3all done pitti?17:14
bryycepitti, give me one more day to work on it17:14
pittithat was it, just wanted to collect the WI stragglers17:14
rickspencer3thanks for tracking all of those work items for the milestone17:14
bryyceif it's not done by tomorrow we can postpone it, but it's a simple task, I'd like to score it for a217:14
pittibryyce: it's not top prio, don't worry17:15
rickspencer3note that for a3, I would like us to do whatever it takes to get under the trend line each week before the release meeting17:15
pittiperfect17:15
pittithanks everyone17:15
rickspencer3so if we need to cut stuff, do it weekly and be prepared to discuss that in the release meeting17:15
bryyce"do it weekly"?17:16
rickspencer3bryyce, right, each week, if we are above the trend line, we address that17:16
rickspencer3this time we did it all at once at the end of the release17:16
rickspencer3we'll see how it works17:16
rickspencer3any other business?17:16
bryycerickspencer3, question on task quantity for a3?17:17
rickspencer3bryyce, go ahead17:17
pittihttp://macaroni.ubuntu.com/~pitti/workitems/canonical-desktop-team-lucid-alpha-3.html17:17
pittitseliot's stuff landed today and already cut a huge dent in it17:17
bryyceoh, just seems number wise there's more tasks ahead of us than behind us, wondered if we intended to balance that out17:17
rickspencer3oh man, I thought we were going for 60, and there's 84!17:17
bryycepitti, ah good17:18
* rickspencer3 fumes17:18
pittiwe probably need to postpone a few startup speed one17:18
pittis17:18
rickspencer3ok17:18
pittiand replace them with hacks in the OEM image17:18
rickspencer3I'll let it be for now, and look through later17:18
seb128we will never reach login speed if we start postponing things now17:19
* pitti isn't proposing to postpone it now17:19
rickspencer3ok, let me talk to bryyce off line17:20
rickspencer3seems you may be a tad overbooked bryyce?17:20
bryycecould be17:20
rickspencer3if so, we'll talk and fix that17:20
rickspencer3kenvandine, maybe also17:21
rickspencer3thanks bryyce17:21
* kenvandine will look17:21
rickspencer3any other business?17:21
bryycealthough a lot look like smallish tasks so maybe I can burn through them quick17:21
bryycerickspencer3, thanks17:21
=== thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak
seb128well I'm concerned about the login speed17:22
seb128but that's not a meeting thing17:22
seb128and nothing new17:22
pittiseb128: did you happen to hear from robert? does he have time to work on the panel, or should we find a plan B?17:22
seb128plan B17:23
seb128I talked to him yesterday17:23
pittiseb128: also, WDYT about landing the "start all in parallel" changes after a2?17:23
seb128he should really be doing oem work now17:23
seb128he's behind on that apparently17:23
seb128spent too much time on desktop work17:23
pittiok; I thought that was OEM work through the backdoor17:23
seb128well he has to do gdm things for now17:23
rickspencer3is the meeting over?17:23
seb128pitti, let's discuss that tomorrow17:24
seb128the "all in parallel"17:24
pittiseb128: right17:24
seb128it doesn't really win anything17:24
seb128or not a lot17:24
seb128it trades some white space for some cpu bound limitation on the chart17:24
rickspencer3ok, all done17:24
seb128rickspencer3, thanks17:24
* rickspencer3 taps gavel17:24
pittithanks all17:25
ArneGoetjethanks17:25
ccheneythanks17:25
seb128pitti, we don't really have a plan b for gnome-panel being slow there...17:25
didrocksthanks17:25
pittiseb128: chop applets, fonts, etc.?17:27
pittiseb128: (for the OEM image, together with metacity)17:27
pittibut I think that still requires the change to start everything at once17:27
seb128pitti, we trying the chop applets and got asked to revert the change17:27
pittiif gnome-panel starts 5 seconds in, we can't win17:27
pittiseb128: right, for ubuntu desktop; but I think we just have to for the OEM image17:27
bryycepitti, my brain is addled (not enough coffee/sleep); you mentioned implementing json support for the task tool but I can't locate the details.  Where is the json report again?17:27
pittior use UNE17:28
pittibryyce: same dir; http://macaroni.ubuntu.com/~pitti/workitems/  *.json17:28
bryycethanks17:28
pittibryyce: brain> well, you stayed up veeery long..17:28
seb128pitti, chopping fonts...do we want speed in cost of dropping support for class of users?17:28
seb128I don't think it's a fair trade for anybody17:28
bryycesweet17:28
pittiseb128: well, we can't have the cake and eat it too..; I'm all ears for better ideas17:29
seb128pitti, anyway let's discuss that directly tomorrow17:29
* pitti hugs seb12817:29
pittiseb128: I have a mini 10 ssd in front of me now, too17:29
* seb128 hugs pitti17:29
seb128I plan to bring mine17:29
pittiso I can both test boot speed as well as finally reproduce all those b43 jockey bugs17:29
* pitti does a boot chart of current UNE with the crack PPA17:30
seb128hey chrisccoulson17:42
seb128back from work already?17:42
chrisccoulsonhey seb128, yeah, i just arrived back17:42
chrisccoulsonxchat is being weird here, it's not showing new messages in the chatwindow. it's only showing whitespace until i try to highlight the invisible text :-/17:43
chrisccoulsonbrb, i try and close and re-open it17:43
chrisccoulsonthats better17:44
seb128chrisccoulson: wb17:45
rickspencer3chrisccoulson that weird xchat thing happened to me as well17:45
chrisccoulsonit's working properly now. i'm not sure why it happened17:46
rickspencer3I found just restoring and maximizing it again work to fix it17:46
chrisccoulsonrickspencer3 - does it happen to you often?17:46
rickspencer3chrisccoulson used to, don't really recall if/when it stopped17:46
rickspencer3it was a lucid thing, for sure17:46
chrisccoulsonrickspencer3 - that's the first time i've noticed it before17:47
chrisccoulsonin fact, i just backported the lucid version to my karmic box a couple of days ago17:47
chrisccoulsonthere's a bit of a coincidence there ;)17:47
chrisccoulsonhey seb128 - have you had a good day?17:47
seb128yes17:48
seb128I did patch nautilus to use the new libindicator17:48
seb128the patch is almost ready for upload now17:48
chrisccoulsonawesome :)17:49
milanbvseb128: about Bug 39385417:50
ubottuLaunchpad bug 393854 in gdm "Update PAM policy to allow password-less logins set up via users-admin" [Unknown,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/39385417:50
milanbvdo you agree with vorlon?17:51
seb128I've no strong opinion either way17:51
milanbvI think we should really sort out the status of password-less accounts in Ubuntu17:51
seb128I'm not a pam guy in any mean17:51
milanbvbecause ATM there's no GUI for that anyway17:51
milanbv(neither am I :D )17:52
seb128I'm not even sure we should allow password-less accoutns17:52
milanbvjust talking about design ideas17:52
seb128that's a receipt for a security disaster17:52
milanbvyeah, I'm reluctant to allow plain password-less accounts17:52
milanbvthat's why to mitigate the problem I implemented that password-free login17:52
milanbvwhich is pretty good security-wise IMO17:53
seb128how is that different from what we have with autologin?17:53
milanbvquite the same, except that you can have several users on the box17:53
seb128ok17:54
milanbvthat's why I find it not so stupid to have too17:54
seb128it's still poor user experience since you will have to type a password to unlock your keyring17:54
milanbvyeah, that doesn't solve the more general problem with keyrings17:54
milanbvjust like autologin and password-less account17:54
milanbvI guess seahorse should detect these cases and not encrypt the keyring, but that's another story17:55
seb128not sure we should makes easier for users to ignore security17:55
seb128that's something that might bite them back17:55
milanbvagreed17:56
milanbvjust trying to find a reasonable solution, half-way17:56
milanbvhow could I get more attention about that feature?17:57
milanbvat least I like a decision to be taken17:57
seb128could you try to ping slangasek on #ubuntu-devel?17:57
seb128when he's around17:57
milanbvI'll try17:57
seb128I don't really care either way17:57
milanbvif he's the guy responsible for that17:57
seb128but I don't want to be the one deciding or uploading that change17:57
seb128I think nobody cares enough or want to step for it17:57
milanbvI've seen that ;-)17:58
seb128but slangasek had some opinion on the topic17:58
seb128and he commented on the bug17:58
kenvandineseb128, so what is nautilus using the indicator for?17:58
milanbvmy concern is just that many users are doing it the hacky way17:58
milanbvI'll grab him, thanks17:58
seb128so it be easier to come to something which works for both of you on IRC17:58
seb128kenvandine, displaying the copy dialog or not17:59
kenvandineah, cool17:59
kenvandineseb128, by the way empathy 2.29.5.1 is ready, but crashes with adium themes17:59
kenvandinei am investigating18:00
kenvandinecassidy, have you guys seen that yet? i haven't seen a bug report yet18:00
* kenvandine will debug more after lunch18:00
seb128kenvandine, ok, probably good to delay to thursday now anyway18:01
kenvandineyeah18:01
kenvandinewe have time18:01
seb128kenvandine, since new versions are not alpĥa blockers18:01
kenvandinei am going to tackle some papercuts in empathy too18:01
* kenvandine goes to eat18:02
keeshrm, can someone unmoderate my ubuntu-desktop ml post please?18:24
pedro_kees, done18:26
keespedro_: thanks!18:26
pedro_np18:26
chrisccoulsonkees - i'm slightly confused about your mail. you want nautilus to show a warning when trying to open a file which has the execute bit set?18:32
keeschrisccoulson: doesn't have it set.18:35
keescurrently, nautilus pops "Untrusted application launcher" dialog and offers to run it anyway.18:35
chrisccoulsonah, ok, so you want to change that dialog?18:35
keesright.  just curious about the language for it.18:36
chrisccoulsonkees - so you want to move the option to launch anyway?18:38
keeschrisccoulson: right; I've already got that.  I'm curious about the language for the error message itself.18:38
kees(what I'd actually prefer is maybe opening the file in the editor or something)18:38
chrisccoulsonyeah, i'm probably not the best person to ask about the wording of the dialog, but opening the file in a text editor might be ok18:39
chrisccoulsonmpt may have a better idea how to improve the wording though18:39

seb128chrisccoulson: do you change your provider or just what option you take there?19:32
chrisccoulsonseb128 - i've changed my provider19:32
chrisccoulsoni got a migration code from my current provider today, and passed that to my new one, so hopefully i'll have no down-time19:33

kenvandinebryyce, excellent20:38
jcastrokenvandine: does -shell work for you? I get some gobject introspection package conflict20:41
kenvandinehaven't looked at it in a while20:41
RAOFjcastro: Looks like it's still broken by the different gobject introspection names.20:44
RAOFIIRC we have different package names to Debian in that area?20:45
jcastrono idea20:48
bryycekenvandine, do you use gtg?20:52
kenvandinenot yet, i have been considering it20:53
kenvandinesegphault raves about it20:53
bryycekenvandine, yeah I first heard of it a couple months ago, but just started really using it in earnest about a week ago20:56
bryycekenvandine, my todo list was just getting too big to manage via emacs ;-)20:56
bryyceI really like it's tagging functionality; makes it easy to categorize tasks.20:57
bryyceI've hacked in a few features to make it better for me20:57
bryyceI added an export thingee to put your prior week's completed tasks into gedit in moinmoin format, to make it easy to paste my canonical status20:58
kenvandinenice :)20:58
bryyceand I added a "defer to tomorrow" which sadly I find *really* useful20:58
bryyceit lacks prioritization, and I'm still looking for an acceptable way to access the tasks from multiple machines20:59
jcastrobryyce: there's a couch backend that just works for me21:00
bryycejcastro, ah been meaning to investigate that21:00
jcastrobryyce: also, where can I get that moin exporter?21:00
jcastrobryyce: you have to pull from bzr, but it just works. It's going to be in their next release21:00
bryycejcastro, did you have to pull that from a branch?21:01
jcastroyeah21:01
jcastroit's in lp somewhere, it's segphault's branch21:01
jcastrobryyce: getting on a call now, I can catch up with you about it after21:01

TheMusoOne real bug that we need to look into is users having problems with 5.1 audio output and pulse. This is in karmic, but I need to test to see whether lucid is also affected.22:09
rickspencer3TheMuso, if you get a sec to pull out some bug numbers, that would be helpful for the wiki22:10
TheMusorickspencer3: Actually crimsun did a bit of alsa updating during the break, so userspace wise, things have been moved onto 1.0.22. Kernel is staying the same however, o version wise, things are as follows: alsa-kernel, 1.0.21, userspace 1.0.22 for lib and plugins only. Pulse 0.9.21, may be updated if newer releases are bugfix only.22:10
TheMusorickspencer3: Right, I only really started trawling yesterday, so need to go back and dig them up.22:10
rickspencer3thanks TheMuso22:10
rickspencer3so those version numbers, those are final targets for Lucid, unless there is a no feature/only bug fix Pulse update, you will pull taht in?22:11
TheMusorickspencer3: Yes, crimsun may have other ideas, but at this point, thats the way it will be.22:11
TheMusorickspencer3: Oh hang on, I wil get that 5.1 audio issue bug number, hang on a sec.22:12
rickspencer3Thanks TheMuso22:12
TheMuso...and another one I think is biting some users, is pulse using a lot of memory.22:12
TheMusoAgain not sure if its fixed inlucid.22:12
* TheMuso gets that too.22:12
