didrocksjcastro: I must rename ubuntu-netbook-remix-default-settings in launchpad to ubuntu-netbook-default-settings (and make some kind of indirection for people using < lucid). Are you in charge or do I just open a request on LP?10:46
asacimo there should just be a single project: ubuntu-netbook10:48
asacwith subtrees etc. :)10:48
asacrather than creating one project for each package10:48
asacwhich will cause these kind of issues if you rename a package10:48
asacjust my 2c10:49

seb128hey asac11:07
seb128asac, did you read my question yesterday?11:07
asacno11:07
seb128asac, I'm failing to get libgjs working with libmozjs11:07
asachmm11:08
seb128it's in no way a priority11:08
seb128but help would be welcome11:08
asacdo we need libgjs?11:08
seb128it's a depends for gnome-shell11:08
asaccant we get rid of all this ;)?11:08
asacyeah. they shouldnt use javascript. we have no engine11:08
asacthat is suitable for main11:08
seb128$ ldd /usr/lib/libgjs-dbus.so | grep libmozjs11:08
seb128libmozjs.so => not found11:08
seb128libmozjs.so => /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1.7/libmozjs.so (0x00267000)11:08
seb128I don't get why it's there twice11:08
seb128and why it find one and not the other one11:09
asacsomeone has to tell them that javascript is a bad situation11:09
asacseb128: we had exactly that before11:09
asacdo you remember where that was?11:09
seb128I tried to rebuild using as-needed11:09
asacright11:09
seb128but that seems to not do the trick this time11:09
seb128dunno why11:09
seb128and the same source works in karmic11:09
asacthats using rpath?11:09
asacor LD_LIBRARY_PATH?11:09
seb128I'm a bit puzzled11:10
seb128LD11:10
seb128well using /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1.7 works11:10
asacwhat doesnt work then?11:10
seb128try running gjs11:11
asaci dont have lucid yet11:11
seb128gnome-shelll does some LD_LIBRARY_PATH trick11:11
seb128but gjs doesn't11:11
seb128you are on karmic?11:11
seb128can you run ldd /usr/lib/libgjs-dbus.so | grep libmozjs11:11
seb128you need to install gjs11:12
asaci have gjs but not the dbus module11:12
asacgjs11:12
asacgjs>11:12
seb128no gjs-gi?11:12
asacexport LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1.7/11:12
seb128it works with LD hack11:12
asacyou need to write a wrapper for gjs if that is supposed to work oob11:13
seb128but that should not required11:13
seb128+be11:13
asachmm11:13
asacwhy wouldnt it be required?11:13
seb128I hate this thing11:13
seb128can't we make it a proper lib?11:13
asacyes, for universe11:13
asacbut not main11:13
seb128it's not in main11:13
seb128it's in universe11:13
asacbut at some point folks want it in main11:13
seb128we will not use gnome-shell this cycle11:13
asacthats clearly going to happen11:14
asacwe have to communicate to upstream, that libmozjs isnt allowed to be used in the distro11:14
asacthey need to do something else11:14
asacbefore everything is lost and even more move to libmozjs11:14
seb128I've better things to do that fight over that with them11:15
seb128I just want gnome-shell in ubuntu to be nice to them11:15
asacyes, but if its nice, they dont see that there is a problem11:15
asacsame attiude as the coucdb folks. they say, if its a problem someone else will fix it. but the fact that we adopted it sucks much.11:16
asacanyway, i will check how easy it is to build it standalone11:16
asacwill take some time11:16
seb128ok thanks11:18
seb128I've to go for lunch sorry...11:18

pittikenvandine, njpatel: wrt. 71_add_gio_extension.patch11:25
chrisccoulsonasac / seb128 - joss started a discussion on the gnome desktop-devel list last year, but it didn't really go anywhere: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2009-September/msg00121.html11:25
chrisccoulsonyou might be interested in taking a look11:25
pittikenvandine: could that become a proper diff -u, and get a standard patch tag header? (upstream link, etc.)11:26
milanbvwould any of you apply a patch to the GDM package?11:28

chrisccoulsoni misread your second comment there ;)11:31

chrisccoulsonif he's happy with it, then i can commit it when i finish work if nobody else beats me to it11:35
milanbvnice, thanks11:35
chrisccoulsonbut we're frozen for A2 at the moment anyway (although, i haven't checked my inbox for a release announcement yet, so that might not be the case any more)11:35
milanbvno hurry, I'd just like somebody to do it before the release11:36

TeTeTasac: do you know if network-manager 8.1 will make it into Lucid? Or will it stay the same version as in Karmic?12:05
=== MacSlow is now known as MacSlow|lunch
asacTeTeT: it will be 0.8 final most likels12:11
asacwe have a prerelease version12:11
asacfirst step is rc2 ... which we will try to get to karmic as an SRU as well12:11
asacTeTeT: upstream hasnt even released 0.8 final ;)12:12
asacso given the pace i nthe past its unlikely that there will be a 0.8.112:12
TeTeTasac: ok, thanks a lot :)12:13
TeTeTasac: any chance the latest nm will get a PPA, so they can copy a working package from there?12:14

TeTeTasac: I actually never did, but nowadays I seem to get a NM question a day. I even subscribed to the upstream mailing list ...12:39
TeTeTasac: not that it would mean anything ...12:40
pittiasac: do you still need the alpha2/final mobile reports on piware.de or can I take down the cronjobs? (I'll archive the .db and output just in case, but I'd like people to move to the new WI tracker on macaroni)12:40
asacpitti: i would like the alpha2 state to be frozen right when alpha2 release is done. then we can move elsewhere12:49
asac(but keep the graph and the last state)12:49
asacif thats posisble12:49
asacwhere is the new macaronis service=12:50

=== MacSlow|lunch is now known as MacSlow
pittiasac: right, I did a complete backup of the scripts, databases, and output13:13
pittiasac: I'll keep the alpha-2 reports for a while, but I'd like to remove the lucid/ ones (since they are out of date and imprecise)13:13
asacpitti: where can i find the new tracker?13:13
pittiasac: and above all I'd like to kill the cronjobs13:13

pittiasac: the names without the milestone13:15
pittiasac: likewise, all-* are the ones for entire ubuntu, particular milestone13:15
pittiand all milestones/all teams == all.html13:15
pittiit has the full combinatorial explosion13:16
pitti(they're dead cheap to generate now)13:16

pittiit's LPTEAMNAME-MILESTONENAME13:17
asacso our trendline got reset?13:17
pittiasac: yes, I didn't write a full DB migration script13:17
pittiasac: but of course I'm fine to adjust the trend line start for you if you want13:17
asacyeah. lets try to use the value where the current one ended13:18
pitti(not that the old start would be too meaningful with the 2 weeks of holidays, etc., but I'm happy to add support for this)13:18
asacthtas odd13:18
asacthere are far less items13:18
asachttp://piware.de/workitems/mobile/lucid/report.html13:18
asachere it was 13013:18
asacand we were behind13:18
asacnow 130 would mean we are ahead13:18
asachttp://macaroni.ubuntu.com/~pitti/workitems/canonical-mobile.html13:19
asacany clue what specs didnt get picked up?13:19
pittiasac: it's a different count now13:20
pittinow it's counting WIs from members of your team13:20
asachmm13:20
huats_hello guys !13:20
pittibefore it was counting WIs from all specs of your team, even if they were assigned to a different team13:20
asacwe want to have our community specs there too13:20
pittiI'll change it to cover both13:20
asacits basically one spec: liquid13:21
pittithat will come back, yes13:21
asacproblem is that we cannot really plan how far we are behind based on our progress before13:21
pittiwill work on this next week, when the sprint is done13:21
asaci wanted to kill stuff until we hit the line13:21
asaccant the other cronjob still run?13:22
asacor is that completely f***ed?13:22
pittithat was my original question13:22
pittiit can still run13:22
asacjust the full cycle13:22
asacone13:22
asacgood13:22
pittibut I can't change anything in the code any more13:22
pittiyeah13:22
asacthats fine. i would then use the full cycle one from there and the milestones ones from the new13:22
asacjust need liquid in the new spec list13:23
pittiasac: the old alpha-2 report is probably uninteresting now, I figure?13:23
asaccool. thanks13:23
pittiasac: I think from next week on the charts shold be correct, too13:23
asacpitti: just need a final snapshot for later communication13:23
asacfor alpha-213:23
pittiasac: I won't remove the html pages13:23
asace.g. the html page basically13:23
asacok good13:23
pittijust stop the alpha-2 cron job13:23
asacthen its all good13:23
asacyeah13:23
asacwe are close enough there13:23
pittialpha-2 is today, so it doesn't make sense to let it run13:23
asacand today is release day13:23
asac;)13:23
pittithe new alpha-2 report will continue to be generated, so you can look at that for stragglers13:24
asachmm. what does that mean? does the trendline go below zero there?13:24
pittino, of course not13:25
asaccurrently the new alpha-2 is empty13:25
asacoh ok13:25
pittiasac: I meant WIs which were scheduled for alpha-2, which you didn't get to13:25
* pitti yays at http://macaroni.ubuntu.com/~pitti/workitems/canonical-desktop-team-lucid-alpha-2.html13:25
asaci think: just let it run. i will adapt to the new approach if the full new one is still there13:25
asacerr full old one13:25
pittiasac: http://macaroni.ubuntu.com/~pitti/workitems/canonical-mobile-lucid-alpha-2.html isn't though13:25

seb128rodrigo__, stop suggesting upstream to do things which will break our lts ;-)13:44
rodrigo__seb128, what have I suggested?13:44
seb128landing the new g-c-c design13:44
seb128cf my comments on #c-c13:44
rodrigo__seb128, oh, would that break our lts if it lands in time for 2.30?13:45
seb128it's quite some changes13:45
seb128by experience it takes time to find and fix issues on rewrites13:45
seb128it's better to have one cycle to sort things13:45
seb128rather than rushing13:45
rodrigo__you're right in that it's a bit late in the cycle, I guess13:46
seb128I'm maybe too much on the conservative side13:46
seb128but breakages over cycles learnt me to do be prudent with such changes ;-)13:46
rodrigo__well, I asked thos if it was going to land master, it should be now or just wait13:46
rodrigo__and yeah, seems it's not ready13:46
seb128seems they are still discussion how to do it13:47
seb128it seems a bit risky13:47
seb128let's see what they decide13:47
seb128upstream should decide on what they think is best, not on what distro will do...13:48
seb128but we might go back to 2.28 if they do land that13:48
seb128depends on how well it works I guess13:48
seb128hey mclasen13:48
mclasenhmm?13:49
seb128mclasen, did you read my question yesterday?13:49
mclasensaw it go by13:49
seb128mclasen, some people were asking about the tooltip work you did and if those would go upstream this cycle13:49
seb128is there anything blocking them?13:49
mclasenthey would if I had time to finish them up13:49
seb128oh ok13:50
seb128the comment suggested you considered the round corner change ready13:50
seb128thanks13:50
mclasenneed to figure out if there's a way to let theme engines do all the drawing13:50
mclasenand still have the shape match the drawing13:50
mclasenwhich is a little complicated13:51
seb128ok13:51
seb128what is the schedule now for 2.20 btw?13:51
seb128I guess those changes will be for next cycle now?13:51
mclasenI said 'early january'... but too late now :-(13:51
vuntzpedro_: sorry, I was writing a mail. I was wondering if it'd be possible to analyze the stack traces you get from crashes before forwarding them upstream13:51
seb128vuntz, hello13:52
mclasenseb128: right now I am operating in 'maybe I have some time next week' mode...13:52
seb128vuntz, what sort of analyze do you want to do?13:52
vuntzpedro_: I quickly looked at a few of them, and most of them are like "hrm, yeah, I can't do anything about that. I need more details, or it should be run again with --sync, or I need ways to reproduce"13:52
pedro_vuntz, we do that, but what kind of analyze do you want?13:52
=== gnomefreak is now known as thunderstrck
seb128vuntz, deciding on how much clue a debugged stacktrace will give to the hacker is not easy13:53
vuntzpedro_: well a gnome-panel crash with only symbols in gdk/gtk+ is generally a bad sign, for example, since it's really hard to debug with just this13:53
=== thunderstrck is now known as gnomefreak
vuntz(of course, this is not always true)13:53
seb128vuntz, we default to sending debug ones and let the maintainer decide on if it's useful or not13:53
vuntzseb128: yeah, I know13:53
seb128I think it's a fair choice13:53
seb128you can close in one click if you think it's not useful13:53
seb128but it's better than having bug triagers deciding a stracktrace is not useful when it would be maybe for somebody13:54
pedro_vuntz, well if there's specific requirements for the gnome-panel we can ask those before submitting them there13:54
vuntzseb128: I usually feel bad about closing bugs with a stack trace, without understanding why there was a crash13:54
seb128and I feel bad about closing those downstream without knowing if it would be useful to upstream or not...13:55
vuntzpedro_, seb128: what would generally help is making it possible to install packages were the applets are not in-process, and then ask the reporter to reproduce13:55
=== gnomefreak is now known as gnomefreak76
seb128but if you have good metrics we can use13:55
vuntz(unless the stack trace makes it obvious where the crashes is)13:55
vuntzeg, I would guess most of the stack traces with no useful symbols crashing gnome-panel might actually be notification area issues13:56
seb128the things with crashes is that often they are not reproducable13:56
seb128especially for gnome-panel13:56
seb12890% of those are "I was not going anything special and it crashed"13:56
vuntzseb128: package applets out-of-process during the development cycle, then? :-)13:56
seb128I can do that for sure13:56
=== gnomefreak76 is now known as gnomefreak
seb128I will do it with the 2.29 update13:56
vuntzI understand it's not easy13:56
seb128I'm fine changing build options13:57
vuntzjust trying to figure out how the best way for upstream and downstream here13:57
seb128I just know that asking submitters to install something and reproduce doesn't work in 95% of the cases13:57
vuntzyeah13:57
vuntztrue13:57
seb128if you think the build change would lead to better stacktrace I'm all for it13:57
seb128I don't get why there is no notification area symbol there though13:58
seb128if it crashes in the notification-area code13:58
seb128hey tedg13:58
seb128vuntz, btw what part of the sourcecode does the applet loading?13:59
seb128the applets rather13:59
seb128ie where should I put marked for "start loading <applet>"13:59
seb128"done loading <applet>"13:59
seb128markers13:59
vuntzseb128: panel-applet-frame.c13:59
seb128thanks13:59
seb128vuntz, any clue with those crashes have no gnome-panel symbols btw?14:00
vuntzseb128: well, I have a few bugs upstream that are crashes of the out-of-process notification area, and this is in gtk/gtk only14:00
seb128changing the build mode will lead to the applet crash rather than gnome-panel14:00
vuntzin this case, my guess is that's it's related to some change that was done about transparency14:00
seb128but will probably not solve the stracktrace issue14:00
seb128ie those will still have no symbols14:01
seb128you will just know what process crashes14:01
vuntzseb128: yeah, but knowing that it's the notification area and not gnome-panel+clock+notification area+... is better14:01
seb128makes sense14:01

vishseb128: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/437532 :)14:09
seb128vish, the applet does the icon rendering14:10
seb128and it's supposed to append something to the name in an automatic way14:10
seb128and check for that14:10
seb128this way we don't need any app change14:10
vishseb128: so is the icon not needed? i'm a bit confused :(14:10
seb128it's done transparantly applet side14:10
seb128tedg, ^ can you confirm that's done yet?14:10
seb128tedg, the "use monochrome icons"14:10
seb128or "custom indicator theme"14:11
seb128or whatever it's called14:11
tedgseb128: No, we're not appending anything on the icon name yet.14:11
seb128tedg, but you will?14:11
tedgseb128: We should, but there aren't any done by the art team so I wasn't up on it :)14:11
seb128tedg, or do we need to patch applications?14:11
tedgYes, we will.14:11
vishtedg: hi.. we've been adding monochrome icons to humanity using the -symbolic names , how are we supposed to do it?14:11
tedgvish: Uhm, sure.  The only thing I'm a bit worried about is that we probably won't have time to do all the stuff we wanted to do with the "symbolic" suffix like we discussed at UDS.  I'm curious if we should reserve that suffix until we can do the whole enchilada.14:12
tedgvish: But, honestly.  As long as you use a consistent name, a script can change them all pretty quickly :)14:13

seb128I'm also not sure how to fix the shlibs warnings14:54
seb128it uses --as-needed14:55
seb128is there anything else to add?14:55
chrisccoulsonpitti - is there anything to fix in g-p-m for bug 432598? g-p-m doesn't provide an interface for initiating suspend/hibernate any more, so don't these checks need to go in to the session applet instead?14:57
asacseb128: good question. i dont see those libs being linked directly in the log14:58
asacseb128: but symbol gcry_control used by debian/libiphone0/usr/lib/libiphone.so.0.0.0 found in none of the libraries.14:58
asacthat looks odd14:58
asaci think its ok if you fix the ABI tracking stuff and subscribe team to bugs ;)14:58
asacand checkout that symbol14:59
seb128ok15:00
seb128I like shlibs better that .symbols15:00
seb128but let's see ;-)15:00
asacsymbols is better15:00
asac:)15:00
asachehe15:00
seb128it's slower15:00
seb128the symbol lookup things is ridiculously slow15:00
asacanyway, even shlibs stuff isnt in place from what i can tell15:00
asacat least not explicitly15:00
seb128right15:01
seb128thanks for review15:01
seb128I will fix those15:01
asacgood.15:01
asaccant the desktop-team as a whole just take responsibility?15:01
asaceven if that is just: hunt down anyone using libiphone in main to commit to support that ;)15:01
asaci really think if you subscribe to bugs you are already responsible :-P15:01
asacdo you know if usbmuxd is run as root?15:02

pittichrisccoulson: so I thought perhaps we could update the package and disable the notify patch for now16:21
chrisccoulsonpitti - feel free to do that, i'll just merge in the changes to my local branch later16:21
chrisccoulsonpitti - i don't mind, but i'm at work at the moment (and my branch is at home)16:22
pittichrisccoulson: did you already spend a lot of effort on the local branch? wrt. refreshing the other patches, etc?16:22
chrisccoulsonpitti - i spent some effort on it, although not a huge amount16:22
chrisccoulsonpitti - sorry, i was hoping to have the update finished by now, but i keep getting distracted by other tasks ;)16:25

seb128yeah16:32
seb128tedg, ^16:32
chrisccoulsoni can probably work on that16:32

jcastroseb128: I got a mail from the gbrainy maintainer saying that if we have any questions/issues to contact him.16:34
seb128jcastro, if you open the nautilus one I will add my patch there16:34

jcastrooh, is jclinton not doing -games anymore?16:35
seb128they are several16:36

jcastroI had never heard of gbrainy until yesterday16:36
jcastroit's pretty fun16:36
chrisccoulsonwe don't want too many games, otherwise nobody will ever get any work done ;)16:36

jcastrothank the maker we didn't put tetrinet on there, we'd be doomed.16:37
chrisccoulsonjcastro - i tried gbrainy at 4am16:37
chrisccoulsonits probably best to try it when more alert ;)16:37
chrisccoulsonright, home time16:48
seb128jcastro, why did you reopen the indicator bug for rhythmbox?16:50
jcastroseb128: I wanted to keep it open until the patch is submitted upstream. I talked to Ken about it, do you think there's a better way to do that?16:51
seb128no16:51
seb128but it sucks to keep it open16:51
seb128it still shows on our todolist16:51
seb128why isn't the upstream tasks good enough for you?16:52
jcastrobecause if it's not open I get the feeling it will be forgotten about.16:52
seb128jcastro, when can't you attach the current patch there?16:53
jcastroI would rather keep them open until the patch is submitted upstream. The patches will be assigned to the DX team in the future anyway right?16:53
seb128jcastro, it still shows in the rhythmbox bug list16:53
* Amaranth waves16:53
jcastroseb128: it was but then we found a crasher so bratsche is looking at it16:53
seb128and on the tagged indicator buglist16:54
seb128I'm not sure how to track that but keeping fixed bugs open is not great either16:54
jcastroI am open to suggestions, I just think that if we close them when we upload to the distro people might forget to push them upstream.16:54
AmaranthLaunchpad needs tasks management :)16:55
jcastroand the goal for a-i patches is for them to be pushed and accepted upstream so I think in this case the bug isn't fixed until it's been sent up.16:55
seb128jcastro, that's why things should not be uploaded before being sent16:56
seb128this way it give motivation to people to send their things upstream too...16:56
jcastrohmm, that's a good idea.16:56
* jcastro adds to the page16:57
kenvandinejcastro, i think the ubuntu bug for it should be "Fix Released" and the upstream bug in LP left open17:01
jcastrook fine fine.17:02
kenvandinesince it is fixed in the distro, which is what the ubuntu bug is about17:02
* kenvandine thought that is what you meant on IM :)17:02
kenvandineor leave the bug against a-i open17:02
jcastrobut if we end up with a patch rotting in lp and people want to kill me you will come help. :p17:02
kenvandinehehe17:02
* kenvandine thinks there should be a part of the upstream report that lists every patch in every package... and link to the upstream bug... or a reason it isn't submitted upstream :)17:03
cassidy++17:04
kenvandine:)17:04
kenvandinejcastro, see even upstream likes that idea17:04
* kenvandine enjoys creating more work for jcastro17:04

chrisccoulsonit should use the new application indicator19:38
ftayes19:38
chrisccoulsoni don't think the fallback works yet19:38
chrisccoulsonah19:38
ftai have your xchat applet too, but it doesn't do anything for me :S19:39
ftahm, is it yours?19:39
ftaor ken's?19:40
chrisccoulsonis that the xchat-indicator that kenvandine worked on?19:40
ftaok19:40
chrisccoulsonit seems to be working ok here, but you need to explicitly enable the plugin19:40
ftayes, it's the one19:40
chrisccoulsonit's disabled by default when you install it19:40
kenvandinethe plugin can't enable itself19:41
ftai use xchat, not xchat-gnome. it's listed, but i don't know what else to expect from it19:41
kenvandinefta, do you have the message indicator ?19:41
kenvandinethe applet i mean?19:41
ftai have Indicator Applet19:41
kenvandineok19:41
kenvandinedo you have an entry in it for xchat?19:42
chrisccoulsonkenvandine - is there any way of changing the default config to enable the plugin by default?19:42
kenvandinechrisccoulson, yeah... in xchat19:42
chrisccoulsonit seems silly to have to enable it manually after installing it19:42
kenvandinechrisccoulson, if we get my plugin into main... i will make it a recommends and enable it by default :)19:42
chrisccoulsonkenvandine - awesome :)19:43
kenvandinei wish the plugin could tell xchat to load itself :)19:43
kenvandinebut i guess that would be evil19:43
kenvandinefta, ?19:43
ftakenvandine, http://www.sofaraway.org/ubuntu/tmp/indicator-applet.png19:44
kenvandinefta, ok... that is good19:44
kenvandinemeans the plugin is actually loaded19:44

ftawhat is it supposed to do?19:44
ftanope19:44
kenvandinehttp://blogs.gnome.org/kenvandine/19:45
kenvandinethat is what it should look like when you have messages you haven't seen19:45

kenvandineno19:47
kenvandinethe plugin interface doesn't really provide that19:47

bryyceasac, also don't rule out that the updates were fine but just triggered the issue in a round about way (like running out of disk space)20:26

geserI've upgraded my desktop from karmic to lucid. everything worked well, except that my desktop wallpaper doesn't span my both monitors anymore. I've tried to set it again with gnome-desktop-properties but I couldn't find a setting that made it span again.22:28
geserAny idea how I get it cover both monitors again (with only one occurance of the wallpaper)22:30
geser?22:30
bryycegeser, which video driver?23:13
geserradeon23:13
bryycehm23:14
geserthe X setup seems to be ok, I've a desktop spaning both monitors but not the wallpaper23:14
geserdimensions:    3200x1200 pixels (from xdpyinfo)23:14
geserand I've also a wallpaper in that dimension23:15
bryycegeser, maybe it's a new gnome desktop "feature"23:15
bryycegeser, sounds like maybe a seb128 question.  Might check in the relevant gnome packages on launchpad if there's already a bug and if not open a new one23:18
bryycegeser, my thought had been if you were using a proprietary driver maybe xinerama kicked in, but for -radeon that doesn't work, and sounds like you correctly verified your X environment is right23:18
bryyceso I'd probably start reviewing the changelog and bug reports for gnome-panel or whatever sets up the wallpaper23:18
bryycegeser, I hope it gets fixed!  That's one that'll affect me too once I update my own desktop23:18
mclasenyou can make it span by setting it to tiled23:19
geserI tried the different "styles" but none does what I want23:21
geser"tile" cuts of a part and repeats the wallpaper again23:22
geserhttp://www.bienia.de/tmp/Screenshot.png, that's "Tile"23:26
mclasento use tile as a workaround to get a stretched background back, you have to pick an image of the right size...23:30
geserthat wallpaper is of the right size (3200x1200) as I used it with karmic where it worked23:31
geserit broke with my update to lucid23:31
geserlooks like a fix for https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147808 broke it23:32
ubottuGnome bug 147808 in background "Background on dual monitors" [Enhancement,Resolved: fixed]23:32
mclasenthe behaviour on multi-monitor setups was changed to a more useful one23:34

ubottuGnome bug 603551 in Desktop "Image doesnt scale for dual monitors" [Normal,Unconfirmed]23:36
bryyceyeah agreed the "fix" just shifted breakage from one use case to another23:37
bryyceshould have been made a configuration setting23:37
