| bratsche | jono: You can either do it when you create the indicator, with app_indicator_new() | 00:03 |
|---|---|---|
| bratsche | Or with app_indicator_set_icon() | 00:03 |
| jono | bratsche, what to I pass set_icon? | 00:04 |
| jono | bratsche, a path to an icon? | 00:05 |
| bratsche | No, the icon name. | 00:06 |
| jono | hmmm | 00:06 |
| jono | how can I find out an apps icon name? | 00:06 |
| bratsche | There's some icon naming spec somewhere.. tbh I don't really know where is a proper list of these names. :/ | 00:06 |
| jono | ahhh its ok | 00:06 |
| RAOF | jono: The .desktop file is generally a good place. | 00:06 |
| jono | I have it | 00:06 |
| jono | ok solved that | 00:07 |
| jono | bratsche, ok, right now I have: | 00:08 |
| jono | self.statusicon.connect('popup-menu', self.on_icon_popup, self.menu) | 00:08 |
| jono | I need to port this over to appindicator | 00:08 |
| bratsche | Oh damn, people use Python? Ugh. | 00:09 |
| bratsche | :) | 00:09 |
| jono | heh | 00:09 |
| jono | I tried: self.menu.connect('popup-menu', self.on_icon_popup) and no luck | 00:10 |
| jono | I just want to trigger the popup-menu signal | 00:10 |
| jono | I guess there needs to be an appindicator signal for this | 00:12 |
| jono | as it maps to the gtkstatusicon | 00:12 |
| bratsche | I think you can emit the signal yourself, but I don't know the Python fu for it. | 00:12 |
| bratsche | But I think you can do g_signal_emit_by_name (self.menu, "popup-menu",....) | 00:13 |
| jono | hmmm | 00:13 |
| jono | I basically want to run a method when the icon is clicked on | 00:13 |
| jono | so I would need to detect when it is clicking on | 00:14 |
| bratsche | Oh, when someone clicks on the indicator? | 00:14 |
| jono | yes | 00:14 |
| jono | maybe I could use set-focus-child | 00:14 |
| jono | I basically want to regenerate the menu whenever it is clicked | 00:14 |
| jono | as it has dynamic items | 00:15 |
| bratsche | Oh shit. | 00:15 |
| bratsche | Hmm. | 00:15 |
| bratsche | I don't think you can do that right now. | 00:15 |
| jono | balls | 00:15 |
| bratsche | Let me think for a sec. | 00:15 |
| jono | thanks :) | 00:15 |
| bratsche | I think one option is that you could dump a menu with every menuitem to the indicator, and then hide the menuitems dynamically. But I don't think there's currently any event proxy for that popup-menu event so you'd need to hide the menuitems at runtime as they change. | 00:17 |
| jono | it seems like I just need to ask ted to add this | 00:18 |
| bratsche | Yeah probably. | 00:18 |
| jono | ok, thanks pal | 00:18 |
| jono | Getting Things GNOME is most of the way there :) | 00:18 |
| bratsche | Nice! | 00:19 |
| jono | bratsche, ok, I emailed him about it | 00:23 |
| jono | thanks! | 00:23 |
| bratsche | Sure dude, any time :) | 00:24 |

| vish | djsiegel1: hi.. the solution for the .RUN file was trivial [or i think so] we can keep the terminal from auto-closing? is that tugh? | 17:23 |
| vish | tough* | 17:23 |
| djsiegel1 | vish: I don't think it's a good paper cut | 17:23 |
| djsiegel1 | (1) it doesn't affect most Ubuntu users | 17:23 |
| djsiegel1 | (2) changing it will break behavior for many sys admins who have written scripts | 17:24 |
| djsiegel1 | many people may depend on terminals closing themselves | 17:24 |
| djsiegel1 | we could break that, and then support calls would explode from users with exited terminals filling up their screens :) | 17:24 |
| vish | ok , ;) | 17:25 |
| djsiegel1 | but I agree it's a good feature for GNOME Terminal to implement -- keep open | 17:25 |
| djsiegel1 | I've needed it in the past | 17:25 |
| vish | djsiegel1: yeah , thats why i didnt set a milestone :) | 17:25 |
| djsiegel1 | And you can confirm paper cuts without milestoneing them | 17:25 |
| djsiegel1 | looks like we have way more than 10 paper cuts queued up for round-10 | 17:25 |
| vish | djsiegel1: thats for now , on purpose... | 17:26 |
| djsiegel1 | ok | 17:26 |
| vish | djsiegel1: i'v been trying to get some folks fix bugs on milestone 10 , so if they fix it we are good.. | 17:26 |
| djsiegel1 | ok, cool | 17:26 |
| jono | tedg, bratsche, take a look at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/356738/ | 20:36 |
| jono | its a simple python script that creates an app indicator | 20:36 |
| jono | the problem is that when I wrap the indicator code in a class and create an object and create it, it doesnt work | 20:37 |
| jono | if I just run the indicator code without the class it works fine | 20:37 |
| jono | any idea why? | 20:37 |
| jono | the class runs ok, the constructor is run | 20:37 |
| bratsche | Because it's written in Python, and God has already killed all the available kittens for the day. | 20:37 |
| * bratsche clicks | 20:38 | |
| jono | haha | 20:38 |
| jono | bratsche, tedg I think it might be a bug, as the class is running | 20:38 |
| jono | aha, just the man | 20:39 |
| jono | DBO, can you look at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/356738/ | 20:39 |
| jono | its a simple python script that creates an app indicator | 20:39 |
| jono | the problem is that when I wrap the indicator code in a class and create an object and create it, it doesnt work | 20:39 |

| jono | any idea why? | 20:39 |
| jono | the class runs ok, the constructor is run | 20:39 |
| DBO | looking | 20:39 |
| jono | thanks | 20:39 |
| jono | I added a quick test to create and show a gtk window in the constructor and it showed, so the gtk mainloop is running | 20:40 |
| jono | I want to get this snippet in python-snippets :) | 20:40 |
| DBO | interesting problem jono | 20:48 |
| jono | DBO, odd, eh? | 20:48 |
| DBO | I wonder if python is gcing it | 20:51 |
| DBO | nope | 20:52 |
| jono | DBO, gcing? | 20:53 |
| DBO | garbage collecting | 20:53 |
| DBO | oh wait | 20:53 |
| DBO | got it | 20:54 |
| DBO | you got bit by garbage collection | 20:55 |
| DBO | jono, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/356741/ | 20:55 |
| jono | DBO, what is different? | 20:56 |
| DBO | the self's | 20:56 |
| jono | oh they are self | 20:56 |
| jono | why does that matter? | 20:56 |
| DBO | it stores the variables as class level instead of method | 20:56 |
| DBO | so your constructor was ending, and then the items were being collected | 20:56 |
| jono | oh right | 20:57 |
| jono | gotcha | 20:57 |
| jono | thanks! | 20:57 |
| jono | hmm still not working | 20:57 |
| * DBO double checks | 20:58 | |
| DBO | works fine here | 20:58 |
| DBO | i see an ubuntu icon | 20:58 |
| DBO | and 4 menu items | 20:58 |
| jono | oh it does work | 20:58 |
| DBO | ok good | 20:59 |
| jono | thanks DBO! | 20:59 |
| DBO | np | 21:00 |
| mrmcq2u | why has rgba been ripped from the ppa? | 21:06 |
| tedg | mrmcq2u: My guess would be that it's gone into the main distro... but I bet kenvandine would know. | 21:08 |
| * kenvandine reads back | 21:09 | |
| mrmcq2u | well a new version of gtk has been pushed into lucid but I saw nothing about rgba in the changelog | 21:09 |
| jono | Application Indicator example added to python-snippets :) | 21:09 |
| kenvandine | mrmcq2u, oh... i don' tknow... ask bratsche | 21:10 |
| kenvandine | latest patch he gave me removed it | 21:10 |
| mrmcq2u | thats odd | 21:10 |
| tedg | jono: Cool! | 21:11 |
| mrmcq2u | was hoping to test it with murrine from git which required a later version of gtk than the one previously supplied in the ppa | 21:11 |
| jono | tedg, :) | 21:14 |
| kenvandine | bratsche, i assume you have the story on that? | 21:15 |
| bratsche | Hang on a minute | 21:25 |
| jono | tedg, jcastro http://www.jonobacon.org/2010/01/14/application-indicators-rocking-the-house/ | 21:32 |
| tedg | jcastro: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/ApplicationIndicators#Custom%20Fallbacks | 21:35 |
| jcastro | tedg: thanks | 21:35 |
| jcastro | I'll fix the spelling | 21:36 |
| tedg | jcastro: I really wanted to link to the fallback and unfallback functions in that last file... but I can't figure out how to do that with Loggerhead. :( | 21:36 |
| tedg | jcastro: Thanks :) | 21:36 |
| bratsche | mrmcq2u: I reverted some of those changes for now. I need to focus on one thing at a time, and that was getting in the way. | 21:43 |
| bratsche | mrmcq2u: It is still something that's planned, but I don't know any specific timetables for it right now. | 21:43 |
| mrmcq2u | right | 21:45 |
| mrmcq2u | planned for lucid though right? | 21:45 |
| bratsche | Oh I think I was misreading some of this. Yeah, a new version of gtk went into Lucid that doesn't have this patch.. but a new version went into the Desktop PPA that has an updated version of the patch, and this is hopefully going into Lucid soon. | 21:55 |
| bratsche | The new revision in the desktop PPA doesn't have the rgba stuff, because I don't have time to debug some stuff at the moment. | 21:56 |
| bratsche | Whether it goes into Lucid or into M I don't know yet, depends on time. There's other stuff that needs working on. But it is still planned, I just can't answer yet when it's going in. | 21:58 |
| bratsche | We need a bot to entertain us in this channel. | 22:10 |
| tedg | bratsche: Oh, I thought that was your job! ;) | 22:23 |
