geserseb128: do you (as in the desktop team) want regressions from karmic to lucid also filed as LP bugs or is the problem being filed in gnome bugzilla enough?10:06
seb128geser, depends what you call regression and if upstream is fixing it or if we should work on it10:07
geserI upgraded my desktop from karmic to lucid yesterday, and my wallpaper doesn't span my both monitors anymore and I couldn't find a setting to let it do it again10:08
gesersee also https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=603551 and the last comments in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14780810:08
ubottuGnome bug 603551 in Desktop "Image doesnt scale for dual monitors" [Normal,Unconfirmed]10:08
geserhttp://www.bienia.de/tmp/Screenshot.png that's how my desktop background currently looks like (that's "Tile" for a wallpaper that fits on the Desktop (same size))10:10
seb128oh right10:11
seb128I would not call that a regression10:11
seb128and I don't care enough to work on it, it's a corner case where the behaviour changed10:11
=== Guest10376 is now known as kermiac
seb128like you used to have to find an image spanning your screens10:12
seb128and now you can set one by screen10:12
seb128which I think is easier to find for users10:12
seb128it's easier to find 2 images than one made for 2 screens10:12
seb128you can open it on launchpad if you want though10:12
seb128but I doubt we will do anything on it10:12

geserok, did I understand you correctly that I can select now two different wallpapers (one each for each screen)?10:16
geserbecause I can't find the option for it, I can only select one wallpaper and the "style" (center, zoom, tile, etc.)10:16
geserand I've to look if I can find one wallpaper and a setting that looks good on both monitors (different native size)10:17
seb128geser, maybe I'm wrong10:19
seb128I didn't look at that and I'm using one screen10:19
seb128maybe it uses the same image on both monitors10:19
geseryes, it uses the same image on both monitors. in the past I created my own wallpapers to match the size of my desktop and I got used to the look of it, I guess I need some time to get used to this new mode10:21
geserthanks10:22
seb128geser, how does it work if both screen have different ratio?10:22
seb128with one image10:22
seb128in any case I think it's a different way to do thing10:22
seb128but not especially a less good way10:23
seb128lot of people try to simply put an image10:23
seb128and get it in the middle of screens10:23
seb128which is weird10:23
seb128if you want an image for 2 screens you need to build it10:23
geserwhich I did in the past but can't use anymore10:23
seb128right I understand10:24
seb128but I said that most users probably don't10:24
seb128and the current workflow makes easier to have something not looking weird10:24
seb128it's not perfect yet though I agree10:25
seb128but we have other things to work on10:25
seb128we will let that to upstream to deal with10:25
geserunderstandable10:29
geserI'll comment on the upstream bugs and watch how things evolve10:31
didrockscrap, it seems that changing user-setup-apply fixes the live session persistency, not once installed.10:35

seb128vuntz, hey10:51
seb128vuntz, yes, as soon as I click on one of my panel launcher10:51
vuntzmaybe my fix was wrong, then :-)10:51
seb128do you need some details?10:51
vuntzhrm, if you can get a quick stack trace, I can take a look at the code now10:51

seb128can you filter out a system, preference entry by using a merged menu?11:04
seb128ie /etc/xdg/menu/settings-merged11:05
seb128add an Exclude with Filename there doesn't work11:05
seb128but I'm not sure if that's the right way to do it11:05
vuntzyou probably can11:09

vuntzseb128: ah, the merged dirs are before the rest11:12
vuntzseb128: <DefaultMergeDirs/>, I mean11:12
vuntzseb128: so it might not be possible11:13
vuntzseb128: you'd need to move it down11:13
vuntzI think I discussed this in a bug report, and explained why I didn't want to do that change upstream11:13
seb128oh I think I've read this one11:13
seb128you though it would lead to abuse right?11:14

seb128vuntz, the issue is for those who want to distribute a modified version11:19
seb128like not list an item11:20
seb128but still want to get changes with upgrades11:20
seb128like if they get a custom applications.menu they will not see distro changes11:20
seb128and if they hack the distro one their change will be dropped on upgrades11:20
seb128would be easier to allow them to do local changes which would still apply on upgrade11:20

didrocksseb128: where do you see it in the capplet? I don't find anymore the ac/battery options in gnome-power-preferences14:35
didrocksseb128: I just see the "when you press that button do …"14:35
seb128didrocks, bug #38906714:39
ubottuLaunchpad bug 389067 in gnome-power-manager "unintuitive settings in gnome-power-preferences" [Wishlist,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/38906714:39
seb128didrocks, you are right I was confusing it with something else14:39
seb128didrocks, I'm a bit confused, where do you see a wrong behaviour?14:41
seb128what are you trying to fix?14:41
didrocksseb128: looking at une settings and trying to drop as much as I can from it to stick with ubuntu-desktop default, I saw that on ubuntu desktop, we have /apps/gnome-power-manager/actions/sleep_type_ac to suspend and /apps/gnome-power-manager/actions/sleep_type_battery to Nothing which is a nosense to me (I would except the same value for both or the contrary)14:43
didrocksseb128: basically, we are telling "if you don't do anything and you're on ac, default is to suspend after xxxx secondes, if you are on battery, don't do anything"14:44
seb128didrocks, I don't have a sleep_type_ac there14:44
seb128in gconf-defaults14:45
seb128I need to read the code14:45
seb128that must not be working14:45
seb128I never got my computer to suspend on idle on ac14:45
seb128and I'm letting sometime for half a day idleing14:45
seb128I'm not sure how that's supposed to work14:46
seb128if the code is buggy or the gconf description confusing14:46
seb128but it doesn't do what you describe in practice14:46
didrocksseb128: I think that's because /apps/gnome-power-manager/timeout/sleep_computer_ac is set to 014:46
seb128didrocks, we don't set the sleep_ac_type though, it's coming from upstream no?14:51
didrocksseb128: right. The only value we change in those is this sleep_type_battery set to "nothing" instead of hibernate. That's why I think we can at least set it to suspend as this is the default value for sleep_type_ac (just for the sake of consistency)14:54
seb128right14:57
seb128I'm trying to figure who changed that, when and why14:57
seb128did you look for that info?14:57
didrocksseb128: I tried in the changelog but didn't find anything related to it. Double checking is always great14:58
seb128didrocks, sorry I'm in middle of gtk debugging with alex but I look at that with you next15:02
didrocksseb128: sure, no hurry :)15:02
seb128vuntz, ok, alex has a gdk patch working15:02
vuntzseb128: cool stuff15:09
seb128vuntz, it's always good to have somebody having the issue to IRC debug ;-)15:10
seb128vuntz, so I blamed you for nothing again it seems ;-)15:10

=== robbiew is now known as robbiew_
seb128didrocks, the change seems to be there since dapper and I don't see a reason to keep it nowadays, feel free to drop it15:25
seb128didrocks, the change = the gconf-defaults 1 liner to set the type15:25
seb128we should probably stay on upstream default for those15:25
didrocksseb128: ok, so let's stick with hibernate15:25
seb128I would be in favor of doing what upstream does yes15:26
seb128and to open an upstream bug and argue there if you think it should be changed15:26
didrocksI agree, let me finish the default value testing stuff and I'll work on that15:27

seb128chrisccoulson, nice, so you can sleep too!16:17
seb128chrisccoulson, btw I didn't manage to do the libxklavier update16:17
seb128chrisccoulson, you are welcome to do it if you want16:17
seb128I got sidetracked in other issues16:17
seb128gtk bug leading to gnome-panel crash16:17
chrisccoulsonseb128 - cool, i'll look at that shortly16:17
seb128xorg crashing on guess session opening there16:17
seb128etc16:17
chrisccoulsonseb128 - it sounds like you've had quite a bit of fun today ;)16:21
seb128indeed16:22
seb128not to mention that the mini doesn't suspend today16:22
seb128when that was working yesterday16:22
seb128I'm wondering if that's pitti's gpm change16:22
chrisccoulsonthat's not good16:22
seb128timeout trying to contact gpm or dkpower16:22
seb128it's all weird16:22
chrisccoulsonsaying that, suspend hasn't worked on my desktop for a couple of years16:23
seb128is that suposed to work on desktops?16:23
seb128it never worked on my desktop boxes16:23
seb128but on my laptops it does usually16:23
chrisccoulsonseb128 - i think so, and it worked at some point in the past16:23
hyperairyes it is supposed to16:23
seb128hibernate works on my desktop16:23
hyperairit works on my desktop16:23
hyperairbut rather strangely16:24
hyperairi have to do a lot of strange voodoo magic to get it to get it to resume16:24
chrisccoulsonit seems to stop everything when i try to suspend, but then the machine never actually powers down properly, and all the fans stay running16:24
hyperairinvolving poking random buttons16:24
seb128chrisccoulson, something similar there16:24
hyperairfans huh16:24
chrisccoulsonand hibernate used to panic on resume the last time i tried it, so i just try not to accidentally press the hibernate button nowe16:25
jcastroseb128: hrpmh, so there's no user-visible way to set text-beside-icons anymore? :(16:25
hyperairit worked in the past right? maybe you should bisect the kernel =p16:25
chrisccoulsonjcastro - no, the tab was purposely removed from g-a-p16:26
hyperairchrisccoulson: why?!16:26
jcastroright, so that means we should ship text beside icons by default!16:26
chrisccoulsonhyperair - it's considered a power-user option16:26
hyperair......16:26
chrisccoulsonjcastro - do we not already do that by default?16:26
hyperairno, it's text below icon, afaik16:27
jcastronot afaik, I always have to switch it on16:27
* hyperair jumps into the guest session to check16:27
jcastromaybe it's on in UNE by default?16:27
chrisccoulsonhmmmm, it's text beside icons on my box, but i don't remember if i changed it16:27
* vish notices package "unattended upgrades" ..? so are security upgrades done automatically now?16:29
hyperairhmm my guest account says text beside icons16:30
hyperairin karmic16:30
hyperairbut i remember having to set it previously16:30
seb128jcastro, no16:30
keesvish: no, you have to enable it.  that package just provides the capacity to do it.16:30
seb128jcastro, davidbarth: did any of you responded to the guy who had question about the contracting job?16:31
jcastroI don't know anything about the contracting job16:31
hyperairwhat about "Show icons in menus" and "Editable menu shortcut keys" ?16:31
davidbarthseb128: ? didn't see that email? any pointers?16:31
seb128jcastro, can you get him and somebody who knows in touch?16:31
vishkees: ah... thanks.. with all the planned update manager changes  i was wondering if it was on by default now :)16:31
seb128davidbarth, it was on the channel, I did ping you and jono and jcastro16:31
seb128and nobody replied16:31
seb128I closed IRC since though...16:31

strycoreI'd like to point out that i did not get the job *yet* , I'm just very hopeful ;)16:32
seb128I didn't imply you did ;-)16:32
davidbarthseb128: ok, seen now16:32
davidbarthstrycore: hi; thanks for pinging us on that; i haven't received your application yet; i guess jono will receive it first, being the lead on this recruitment16:33

jonostrycore, you have all the key information16:35

jonothe role would be building application indicator suppoer and some notify-osd work into applications16:35

diverse_izzuehi all. have people thought about which version of tracker to ship with lucid? tracker 0.7 is pretty much a total rewrite AFAIK, and while not quite done, it's getting close. a reason for pushing this into lucid is that during the lifecycle of lucid, applications might be release which use tracker as their backend.19:57
