* RAOF wins the “don't dispose the pixbuf immediately *before* using it” award.00:25
TheMusoheh00:37
RAOFWould you believe that the image doesn't get displayed if you dispose it just before queuing the draw? :)00:38
TheMusoheh00:45
Sarvattwoohoo, the magic env variable to make mutter not slow things to a crawl - CLUTTER_VBLANK=none02:13
RAOFSarvatt: Isn't our OpenGL infrastructure totally awesome? :)02:15
lifelessRAOF: 1!02:25
RAOFlifeless: !!02:26
RAOFI suppose that it'd be polite to suggest to users that they save their changes if they quit f-spot's view mode with unsaved changes...02:29

pittidebfx: brightness_in_hardware> I don't know; it's just hardcoded like that in the hal source (not in hal-info)07:47
pittiRAOF: how is f-spot coming along? making you weep?07:48
RAOFpitti: It's not so bad.07:48
RAOFIt'd be easier if they had some sort of policy as to who has responsibility for Dispose()ing pixmaps, but it's mostly done.07:50
pittiah, that's the memleak you mentioned?07:50
pittiRAOF: nice! out of interest, did you have to rewrite half the browser code, or were the building blocks mostly there and just need to be re-plumbed?07:51
RAOFThe building blocks were mostly there.07:51
RAOFReally its been a matter of ensuring that everything's updated when it needs to be.07:52
RAOFAnd fixing miscelaneous bugs where things have been disposed when they shouldn't be :)07:52
RAOFAnd with that, I'm off for a brisk walk.  I'll be back later to polish f-spot a little more.07:53

pittididrocks, Keybuk: hmm, strange; current netbook daily has the new ubiquity which is supposed to copy the background image cache, but this still doesn't seem to work on http://people.canonical.com/~scott/daily-bootcharts/20100308-max-netbook.png08:14
didrockspitti: Keybuk: that's strange, can you put some traces to ensure you have a bg cache after install, before reboot?08:15
didrockspitti: I didn't tried the last version merged yet, I can try with latest daily08:16
pittididrocks: I'll download and install the current daily in installer-only mode, and check08:16
didrocksI'm doing the same :)08:17
pittididrocks: this thing is like a vampire, so hard to kill :(08:24
didrockspitti: right. It seems like a ghost to me. Always hunting me :(08:27

seb128good morning there08:40
didrockshey seb128, did you have a good week-end?08:42
pittibonjour seb12808:46
seb128hey didrocks pitti08:48
seb128quite good yes08:48
seb128you?08:48
pittiI had a great one; helped my grandparents with their moving, got some new furniture through that :) and did some walking and fresh air08:49
didrocksreally good needed week-end: feel rested :)08:49
seb128nice!08:50
seb128ok, today will be busy again08:51
seb128new GNOME08:51
seb128some thousand weekend emails08:51
seb128let's see how much people have been complaining about bugs in the new artwork too08:51
Hewseb128, could you please renew my membership in desktop-bugs?08:55
pittiseb128: do you happen to know why evolution builds libgdata1.2 and we have a separate libgdata source?09:22
seb128no09:22
pittiok, thanks09:23
seb128they still do?09:23
seb128I was thinking about libical09:23
seb128ignore that09:23
pittio_O09:24
pittievolution builds libgdata1.2-dev and build-depends on it at the same time09:24
seb128pitti, it's coming from eds no?09:27
seb128pitti, evo is not building any lib09:27
pittiah, probably09:27
pittiseb128: I'll have a look whether we can build totem against evo's lib, then we could drop libgdata09:28
seb128good luck09:28
pittiseb128: I'm currently checking duplicated libs in lucid, I'll send mail and create a wiki page09:28
seb128I would do it the other way around rather though09:28
seb128ok09:28
pittibuild evo against libgdata?09:28
seb128yes09:28
seb128libgdata is separate lib and being actively worked09:29
pittiokay09:29
seb128I'm not sure the e-d-s one is being worked at all09:29
* pitti marks libgdata as "primary" package then09:29
seb128well that's a first though thing09:30

chrisccoulsonyeah, my weekend was ok thanks09:45
chrisccoulsondid you both have a good weekend?09:45
seb128excellent thanks09:45
sabdflnoticed a warning in Xorg.0.log on one machine: Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory)09:45

seb128hey sabdfl09:46
sabdflacpid is running, with the same parameters as it is on another machine09:46
sabdflmorning seb128, how was your weekend?09:46
chrisccoulsonseb128 - yeah, i've got quite a few mails too09:46
chrisccoulsonhey sabdfl - i don't think that warning is anything to be worried about09:46
seb128sabdfl, excellent, thanks! how was yours?09:46
sabdflcould it be a race at startup? is there any dependency between acpid startup and X?09:46
sabdflseb128: super thanks, though I went to CT for one night only and got the night wrong09:47
sabdflsigh09:47
sabdflwho gets married on a Friday?09:47
pittisabdfl: indeed, gdm's upstart job does not have a dependency on acpid09:48
seb128none of the people I know who got married at least09:48
* pitti got married on a Friday, why?09:48
seb128pitti, better during weekends when people can come in the afternoon without having to take a day off work or still be in work mood? ;-)09:49
pittiseb128: we didn't want to wait another year :) we wanted to have the wedding on an anniversary09:49
seb128seems a good reason indeed ;-)09:50

baptistemmHello Ladies & Gentlemen09:54
pittichrisccoulson: I was actually wondering what X would want with ACPI events09:54
pittibonjour baptistemm09:54
chrisccoulsonhey baptistemm09:54
baptistemmHi pitti09:54
chrisccoulsonpitti - yeah, me too09:54
sabdflchrisccoulson: what happens if X doesn't get acpid.socket on the first go?09:56
sabdflcan X retry that later?09:57
sabdflit seems that it would be better to be loosely coupled rather than have a hard dependency09:57
chrisccoulsonsabdfl, i'm not really sure, but Keybuk seems to suggest in that bug report that X doesn't really really need to connect to the socket in the first place09:57
pittiall potentially interesting apci events, such as lid closing or power button are handled in g-p-m; X wouldn't have enough knowledge to handle them sanely, FWIW09:59
sabdflthat's good to know, i see Bryce hasn't expressed an opinion yet though10:00
baptistemmasac, Hi10:00
baptistemmasac, bluez 4.62 is out with API breakage fixed.10:01

asacbaptistemm: good ;) ... is it ready?10:04
asacpitti: someone said you know why suspend/resume does reliably not work since lucid anymore on my X61s thinkpad? something about missing quirks10:05
asac?10:05

pittiif it still doesn't work, it's not a quirks problem10:06

sabdflto the bug, that is10:08
tjaaltonsabdfl: done, and moved to xorg-server10:08

pittiasac: what's broken?10:09
asacpitti: it never suspends10:09
asacit tries, but then loops and i have to hit the power button10:10

pittiasac: check /var/log/pm-suspend.log10:10

debfxpitti: on my laptop brightness_switch_enabled is Y, so hal sets brightness_in_hardware to true even though brightness isn't handled in hardware10:40
debfxso what component is reposible for setting brightness_switch_enabled to N for those laptops?10:41
pittidebfx: the kernel, it's an attribute in /sys/module/video/parameters/10:42
debfxpitti: yes, but which kernel module actually modifies the attribute?10:43
pittidebfx: "video"10:43
pittioh, wait, it's a module parameter, not something that the kernel detects10:43
pittiI suppose it's just the default in our kernel10:44
pittidebfx: it's entirely possible that the hal test is wrong; I don't know why it does that10:44

pitti(it drops it completely)11:40
pittiour version still uses it in the evolution and kmail indexer11:40

pittichrisccoulson: ok, thanks; I'll try to build against 2.4 then11:41

seb128kenvandine, can do13:28
kenvandinelp:~ubuntu-desktop/gwibber/ubuntu13:28
seb128ok13:29
kenvandineand, i would like some advice on libubuntuone13:29
kenvandinelp:ubuntu/libubuntuone13:29
kenvandineit adds the mono bindings, but they are unversioned13:29
kenvandineso i patched it to version them13:29
kenvandinebut directhex doesn't agree they should be versioned13:29
asacseb128: btw, i wanted to commit the libgnome-keyring fix i did to the bzr branch in controll .... however that doesnt exist (the project doesnt exist)13:32
seb128kenvandine, hum, could you give the reasons why he thinks they should not?13:32
kenvandinehis comment was they should be unversioned and apps that depend on it should copy the dll in at build time13:32
kenvandinewhich i guess banshee does13:32
asacso i couldnt do that13:32
asac;)13:32
kenvandineseb128, and he said his assumption is that libu1 isn't abi stable yet... but i certain hope it is13:32
seb128asac, ups, sorry about that, feel free to push there which will create it13:32
kenvandinenow that other apps will depend on it :)13:32
kenvandinerodrigo_, did you look at that merge proposal?13:33
asacseb128: it will create the project?13:33
seb128asac, libgnome-keyring has been splitted from gnome-keyring recently and I was not sure if we should use the canonical location or the team one13:33
asaci dont know either13:33
asacwould thin same project13:33
seb128asac, hum, ok, do nothing I will sort that with the next update13:33
seb128I guess we will use the canonical location13:33
asaclike gnome-keyring/lib.ubuntu ;)13:33
seb128ubuntu/libgnome-keyring13:33
rodrigo_kenvandine, yes, looks good to me, just wanted to confirm with you if that's what we want, since directhex mentions doing it differently?13:33
asachmm13:34
seb128it's small enough than having source in bzr is ok13:34
asacright13:34
asacso we already have it ;)13:34
seb128asac, basically it means you have nothing to do the source importer should have taken care of it13:34

seb128I will drop the vcs in control13:34
asactrue13:34
seb128asac, right, thanks for pointing it13:34

kenvandinerodrigo_, we would need to do the signing13:37
rodrigo_kenvandine, ok, let's ask directhex to propose a branch, since he knows how it should be done, ok?13:38
kenvandinerodrigo_, to get aquarius and his beta testers moving i uploaded to the ppa13:38

seb128chrisccoulson, btw I assigned you a notify-osd bug about nmapplet icons14:25
seb128chrisccoulson, kwwii said he was looking at getting a design decision about those so feel free to wait on that14:25
seb128chrisccoulson, the assignement + milestone was to keep it on our radar in some way14:26
chrisccoulsonseb128 - thanks, no worries14:26
seb128didrocks, doing nautilus too14:41
didrocksseb128: ok14:44
=== robbiew_ is now known as robbiew
seb128vuntz, is .92 the right time to add new bindings everywhere?15:05
rickspencer3seb128, how is RAOF's f-spot work going?15:17
seb128rickspencer3, dunno I've not seen him today, .au - Europe overlap in the morning is short15:18
rickspencer3ok15:18
pittihey rickspencer315:18
seb128I will check when he's online tonight15:18
rickspencer3seb128, also, anyone looking after bluetooth?15:18
seb128we tend to overlap rather in my evenings15:18
pittirickspencer3: I quickly talked to him this morning, and he said "good"15:18
seb128rickspencer3, what about bluetooth?15:18
rickspencer3I tried it on the plane and it seemed to be a bit wonky15:18
pittirickspencer3: he said it's basically working, but there's a memleak to fix still15:18
seb128pitti is an early bird ;-)15:18
rickspencer3the indicator and the bt dialog don't seem linked together really15:19
rickspencer3hi pitti15:19
rickspencer3great15:19
rickspencer3good to hear15:19
rickspencer3seb128, pitti do either of you have bluetooth you can test out?15:19
pittiI have a bt headset; what's wrong?15:20
seb128rickspencer3, I do, I've tested the indicator when uploading the changes15:20
rickspencer3it just flat out didn't work on mini 10v15:20
seb128using a mouse or sending files to a phone15:20
pittioh, I didn't use the BT indicator yet, I think15:20
rickspencer3I'll try again today and log a propper bug15:20
seb128mini10v bluetooth is broken for me since the paris sprint15:20
rickspencer3ah15:20
seb128it just has "enable bluetooth"15:20
seb128which doesn't enable anything15:20
rickspencer3seb128, I enabled it in the bios15:20
seb128it's enable in the bios there15:21
Nafairickspencer3:  I know about the problems with the indicator applet15:21
rickspencer3I suppose it lacks bluetooth hardware or something :/15:21
seb128it makes no difference ubuntu see it as off15:21
rickspencer3hi Nafai, great15:21
Nafairickspencer3: I think jpetersen has fixed it15:21
Nafai:)15:21
seb128Nafai, what problems?15:21
* seb128 doesn't15:21
Nafaiseb128: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-bluetooth/+bug/52869415:21
ubottuLaunchpad bug 528694 in gnome-bluetooth "application indicator does not refresh on/off state" [High,Triaged]15:21
seb128rickspencer3, I'm pretty sure it used to work in karmic15:21
rickspencer3seb128, hmmm15:21
seb128Nafai, oh ok15:21
rickspencer3we need to get this fixed for Lucid then15:21
rickspencer3that is a rather serious regression15:22
seb128rickspencer3, I would say it's a linux bug15:22
rickspencer3seb128, that is my guess as well15:22
* rickspencer3 throws to kernel team15:22
seb128I've stopped trying to get linux bugs fixed15:22
seb128nobody ever comment or reply to my bug reports there15:22
rickspencer3seb128, nm, I'll log a proper bug and follow up with the kernel team15:22
seb128rickspencer3, thanks15:22
pittisubscribing canonical-kernel-team sometimes works15:22
vuntzseb128: it's introspection data15:27
vuntzseb128: I don't consider this as new stuff, since it can't break anything already existing15:28
vuntzseb128: and --disable-introspection can be used15:28
vuntzbut I'm open to your arguments :-)15:28
seb128vuntz, we don't have the same definition about new stuff15:28
seb128vuntz, like it changes build system and introduce extra distributor work with possible breakages for cases where the option is on or off15:29
seb128rickspencer3, ok so maybe I was wrong, I just booted karmic on the mini from an usb key and no bluetooth either there15:31
seb128rickspencer3, the dell website says it has bluetooth though15:31
vuntzseb128: well, by default, it shouldn't change anything15:35
vuntzseb128: unless you add the gobject-introspection devel stuff to the build dependencies15:35
seb128vuntz, "shouldn't", the reason we have freezes is that adding new things which shouldn't break do often break for some reasons ;-)15:36
seb128vuntz, like configure autofoo bugs or similar15:36
seb128vuntz, anyway I was just pointing it, you are the one granting exception there anyway so I guess you can grant you those you need or want ;-)15:37
vuntzI can't grant exceptions to me, though15:39
vuntzhrm, is http://patches.ubuntu.com/by-release/extracted/ not updated anymore?15:39
seb128Keybuk, ^ do you know?15:41
Keybukit got dropped a while ago15:41
vuntzKeybuk: you don't love me anymore?15:42
Keybukvuntz: it got no hits in months15:43
Keybukand the "patches in a source package" and "diff for an upload" things have moved to Launchpad15:43
Keybukas we move to Bzr source packages (lp:ubuntu/*) the old Merge-o-Matic stuff is slowly being wound down15:43
vuntzah, indeed, it's all browsable in launchpad, cool15:45
vuntzthanks!15:45
vuntz(a bit slower, but I can live with that)15:46
didrocksvuntz: I believe jcastro is consolidating that on a page in the coming months to ease upstream picking/seeing ubuntu patches15:47
seb128didrocks, hum, are you sure we shouldn't build the introspection from upstream sources?15:47
seb128I'm a bit torned on this15:47
seb128kenvandine, looking to libubuntu I would think it should be not versioned too, none of the cil installed there seem versioned15:48
didrocksseb128: I tried to keep what we have. The gir file is still in gir-repository, but I can split in a package if you think it's important15:48
seb128didrocks, I'm not sure if that's "important" let do it without that for now15:48
pittihm, I thought gir-repo was only a temporary hack15:48
seb128we can revisit in a few days15:49
* jcastro says: try adding a +patches to a URL of a package on launchpad!15:49
pittiit seems much cleaner to me to build it from the particular pacakges?15:49
seb128pitti, it is, gnome-menus and libwnck are having this built from source now15:49
didrocksseb128: that's what I thought :)15:49
seb128pitti, the discussion is whether we want to do the extra change to those now15:49
pittiseb128: ah, they need a new binary pacakge? i. e. they can't just be put into the existing libfoo-dev?15:49
seb128or keep the gir blob for lucid15:49
pittithe latter seems trivial15:49
seb128pitti, right, there is a gir policy from debian15:49
didrockspitti: it's a new bin package15:49
seb128those are splitted in new binaries15:49
seb128pitti, you have running typelibs too15:50
pittihm, I wonder why they didn't use the existing -dev15:50
seb128pitti, those should go in the lib otherwise15:50
pittiok15:50
seb128pitti, because typelib are runtime15:50
pittiwell, let me know if you need a quick binNEW, I'm happy to help out15:50
pittiI'm in an archive cleanup mood today anyway :)15:50
seb128pitti, well we would need to do the source changes first15:50
seb128I think I would be in favor of doing it15:50
seb128the naming convention and the changes should be easy15:51
seb128and it's only a few sources15:51
didrocksok, no pb, on it :)15:51
seb128didrocks, ^ what do you think?15:51
seb128didrocks, thanks15:51
didrocksseb128: I had no strong opinion when preparing the update. Just pick the less risky one :)15:51
seb128ok, let's do it15:51
seb128so we can blame vuntz for extra things if it breaks :p15:51
didrocksseb128: vuntz told me about the libwnck's change too, but where did you see it? it's not in the ftp mail yet :p15:52
didrocksseb128: yes \o/ let's blame vuntz again :)15:52
seb128didrocks, I'm on irc.gnome.org commits channel15:52
didrocksoh, oki, you're really everywhere and seeing everything :)15:52
seb128can't use alt-gr today15:52
vuntzdidrocks: it's not released yet15:52
seb128it limits me in chars I can type15:53
* seb128 hates how g-s-d crashing breaks things15:53
didrocksseb128: no "|" ? How can you live?15:53
seb128like a restart doesn't make themes or keymap work again in running applications15:53
seb128pitti,   * debian/rules: Explicitly set D-Bus service dir configuration option, to15:54
seb128pitti, did you have an opinion on whether we should keep that or go back to autodetection?15:54
pittiseb128: sorry, where?15:54
seb128pitti, gvfs15:54
seb128sorry ;-)15:54
pittiseb128: ah, that was fixed upstream, wasn't it?15:55
seb128pitti, yes15:55
pittiseb128: it was just a workaround to avoid an 99autoreconf15:55
pittiseb128: sure, please drop it15:55
seb128ok thanks15:55
pittithanks to you15:55
seb128I was just wondering if it would make sense to keep the known location15:55
seb128or just let autodetection do the job15:55
kenvandineseb128, now directhex has converted it to a signed, versioned binary :)15:56
seb128kenvandine, ?15:57
seb128I don't get what you guys are doing15:57
kenvandineseb128, his only real issue with it was he didn't think libu1 was a stable api15:57
kenvandinebut we need it to be now that it is in lucid15:57
seb128why is that lib having a version in its name to start with?15:57
seb128why just not using soname and changing it the day you break abi15:57
kenvandineisn't that desirable?15:58
kenvandineso we can install multiple versions?15:58
seb128who wants to do that?15:58
kenvandinewe it does use the soname15:58
seb128I dislike having several versions of a lib15:58
seb128especially for libs used in very limited cases15:58
kenvandineof course, but if there are deps you don't control15:58
seb128the distro usually transition when required15:58
seb128and you build in a different prefix for local testing15:59
kenvandinelike in this case banshee will start to depend on it15:59
seb128why would banshee and rhyhtmbox use 2 different version of the lib?15:59
seb128I'm sure everybody would hate that15:59
seb128starting by the security team15:59
seb128having 2 times the same lib15:59
seb128I'm not sure to understand what usecase you would have to ship 2 versions of those16:00
seb128it makes sense for ie gtk1 to gtk216:00
seb128when you need the old lib for years the time to port things16:00
seb128but for small libs...16:00
kenvandineseb128, ok, i'll do that then16:03
seb128kenvandine, I would say libubuntuone has a library which get progressive updates in a compatible way16:03
seb128not a lib which need having 2 series usable at the same time or user boxes (hackers can build in a different dir an use that version to work)16:04
kenvandineso directhex changed it so it gets signed and has a strong name, etc16:04
seb128kenvandine, well don't especially bother now16:04
seb128it has been done this way now16:04
seb128it just makes names weird looking16:04
seb128and I doubt we will ever want 2 versions together in the archive16:04
kenvandinehis assumption before was that during the build process banshee would just copy in the dll into the package16:04
seb128rather than just upgrade and rebuild rhythmbox and banshee16:04
kenvandineso now at least it works with the installed version16:04
seb128good16:04
kenvandineso libubuntuone-cil16:05
kenvandineright?16:05
seb128well my comments were about the C lib16:05
seb128dunno if that was clear ;-)16:06
kenvandinei am not changing that now :)16:06
seb128right what I said16:06
kenvandinebut should the mono bindings follow what the C lib is now? or just drop the version from the name?16:06
seb128libubuntuone-1.0-cil I guess16:06
kenvandinelike libubuntuone-cil?16:06
kenvandineok16:06
seb128I would follow the C name16:06
kenvandineok16:07
kenvandineseb128, i'll have a package to sponsor in a bit :)16:08
seb128ok16:08
seb128I did sponsor gwibber btw16:08
kenvandineseb128, thx!16:13

didrockspitti: you maybe want to have a look before I upload it: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/gnome-menus/ubuntu/revision/56 I have also removed the typelib package from gir-repository and the gir file. (as it's a bin package moving between source packages, I prefer a double check  :))16:45
andreasnmpt, ping16:46
pittididrocks: the C/R to gir-repository-dev looks a bit strange -- how do we know that -6 (or 5ubuntu1) will definitively drop it?16:51
didrockspitti: FYI, the debdiff for gir-repository:  http://people.canonical.com/~didrocks/gir_repo.diff16:51
didrockspitti: I will upload the gir-repository one16:51
didrocksif there is a smarter way… :)16:52
pittididrocks: I think you should drop the Conflicts:16:52
pittididrocks: just the replaces should be enough16:52
pittierm, wait16:53
didrockspitti: but if someone just get the gnome-menu update, and then install the old gir-repo?16:53
pittididrocks: the gir-repository-dev conflict happens why? the binary name didn't change at all AFAICS?16:53
didrockspitti: both provide the .gir file16:53
pittididrocks: ah, that was actually my next question16:53
pittididrocks: what is a .gir file, and why is it in libfoo-dev instead of the gir package?16:54
didrockspitti: see http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-gtk-gnome@lists.debian.org/msg13664.html. The gir file is for building the package16:54
didrocksthe typlib is arch depend and should be in the gir-* package16:55
seb128didrocks, pitti: don't update gir-repository yet16:55
pittididrocks: ok, that explains the conflict; thanks16:55
pittiPackage: gir1.0-gmenu-2.016:55
seb128didrocks, pitti: we will have a bunch of those changes I will clean it after we are done, we don't want an upload for each change16:55
pittiConflicts: gobject-introspection-repository16:55
pittididrocks: ^ why that?16:56
pittiseb128: ack16:56
seb128didrocks, pitti: also please don't Conflicts when you mean Replaces16:56
pittiso we'd just add an unversioned replaces: for now16:56
didrockspitti: it was on the old bin package in gir-repository16:56
pittididrocks: so, use unversioned replaces then16:56
didrocksseb128: it C/R in fact16:56
didrocksand no conflict? what happen if:16:56
seb128didrocks, no conflicts16:57
didrocks1. I install gmenu-dev package16:57
didrocksoh yes, forget it :)16:57
didrocksjust realized that we won't be abled to install gir-…dev because of overwritting file without Replaces: :)16:57
pittididrocks: ok, understood; diff looks ok to me, except for the "unversioned replaces/drop conflicts" thing16:58
didrocksok, doing that16:58
didrocksjust one question, we will have two sources packages providing the same bin package, no issue in the archive?16:58
pittididrocks: you need to ensure that the new one has a higher version number16:59
pittiotherwise you'd never get an upgrade16:59
didrocksok, that's the case, perfect :) thanks pitti, making the change and uploading now17:00
seb128it's not you will never get an upgrade17:00
didrocksseb128: I hold on the gir-repo until the new GNOME is released, thanks17:00
seb128it"s "soyuz will fail to upload the all binaries for the source"17:00
didrocksok17:00
seb128"upload all the" rather17:00
didrocks(we get an email when this happens?)17:00
seb128iirc yes17:01
seb128it's a build failure17:01
didrocksok, that's not the case here, but it's good to know for further fun :)17:01

Lord-ReadmanHello18:38
Lord-Readmanis the person who made the buttons go to the left on 10.04 in here?18:38
Lord-Readmanplease change them back18:38
Lord-Readmanmore people like right than left18:38
Lord-Readmanhttp://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/23899/18:38
chrisccoulsonLord-Readman, you can't really form the conclusion that "more people like the buttons on the right" based on some numbers from brainstorm18:46
chrisccoulsonit could just be that the people who like the buttons on the right are more vocal18:46
dobeywell i doubt the people who like them on the left are going to file a new brainstorm to say "put the buttons on the left"18:48
dobeybut it's a configuration setting, so you can put them either way you want them really18:48
mptmvo, back? Neil suggests that the API exists for logging in, and you can just open a Web browser for registering or forgetting the password19:19

seb128I see21:23
seb128good luck with that then21:24
seb128TheMuso, hey21:24
chrisccoulsonthanks ;)21:24

seb128TheMuso, hi22:11
seb128TheMuso, could you look at bug #532095?22:11
ubottuLaunchpad bug 532095 in gnome-media "Changing left/right balance in sound-preferences changes the output volume slider" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/53209522:11
rurtiI exported some dirs to the PATH variable in .profile however when using GUI based editors the paths do not show up22:12

TheMusobut sure, I'll see what I can do.22:12
seb128TheMuso, is that a known issue?22:12
TheMusoseb128: I don't know, its the first I've heard of it.22:12
rurtiwhat i am trying to do is assign the make commands to keys in gedit.22:13
seb128TheMuso, I might just bounce back to pulseaudion, dtchen reassigned to gnome-media but it works in fedora and upstream says it's a bug in your pulseaudio most likely22:13
seb128TheMuso, I will do that and ask daniel to provide some details on why he thinks that's a gnome-media issue22:13

rurtiis there anyone that has any idea why the .profile variables are not set in programs such as gedit?22:19
czajkowskiseb128: evening22:22
seb128czajkowski, good evening22:24
czajkowskiseb128: just saw your comment, I cant see the file :(22:25
seb128czajkowski, that's your issue then22:25
seb128czajkowski, is software-center installed?22:25
czajkowskiseb128: yup22:25
seb128czajkowski, dpkg -l software-center22:26
seb128czajkowski, dpkg -L software-center | grep desktop22:26
rurtiif no one can help me with the problem could any of you possibly point me in the right direction.22:26

czajkowskiczajkowski@cypher:~$22:26
seb128czajkowski, ls -l /usr/share/applications/ubuntu-software-center.desktop22:27
seb128rurti, how do you start your application?22:27
czajkowskiseb128: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 341 2010-03-03 22:01 /usr/share/applications/ubuntu-software-center.desktop22:27
seb128czajkowski, so it's there22:27
seb128czajkowski, and it's not in the application menu?22:28
czajkowskiyup22:28
rurtiseb128: ii launch it from the Applications bar at the top22:28
TheMuso8/c22:28
seb128rurti, try setting it in .gnomerc22:28
czajkowskiwhich is what I've been trying to work out why since Karmic22:28
czajkowski:(22:28
seb128rurti, not sure but .profile might be a command line thing22:29
czajkowskiseb128: thanks though, I thought I was missing something22:29
seb128czajkowski, I'm confused now, does it work or not?22:29
rurtiseb128: so is there a  way i can set my path globally for command line and apps?22:30
czajkowskiseb128: see pm please.22:31
seb128rurti, not sure22:32
rurtiseb128: is there someone i can contact that may know the answer to the question?22:32
rurtiseb128: possibly a script file that is fun during the login of a user with the gui interface?22:34
seb128try asking on #ubuntu22:34
seb128but try /etc/profile22:35
rurtiwas already there before i was here22:35
seb128that might work22:35
rurtiisnt profile the global version of the .profile?22:35
seb128you might have the wrong syntax in your .profile22:35
LaserJockrurti: it's not really clear what you're trying to do, why do you need PATH set in GUI apps?22:36
rurtihere if you want to take a look i have it posted at http://paste.ubuntu.com/391240/22:36
rurtiLaserJock: yes that is correct22:37
seb128rurti, what is PATH in "/proc/`pidof gnome-session`/environ"?22:38
rurtiLaserJock: i set the path in my .profile however my gui apps do not see the modifications to PATH22:38
LaserJockrurti: the question is why do you want that? could you perhaps drop a wrapper script in ~/bin/ to do what you want?22:39
rurtiLaserJock: im setting up a custom compiler chain for several developers in my office and they want to use shortcut keys in their editors rather then the command terminal22:40
rurtiseb128: how do i get my gnome session pid?22:41
=== rickspencer3__ is now known as rickspencer3
LaserJockrurti: so it seems like a wrapper script would at least work, but I would imagine PATH should be propogated to GUI apps in general22:43
seb128rurti, copy what I gave you22:43
seb128pidof is a command22:43
seb128and `` says to use the result of the command22:43
rurtiok22:43
rurtiseb128 the command didnt work -> "bash: /proc//environ: No such file or directory"22:47
rickspencer3TheMuso, robert_ancell I was thinking you guys might consider setting up some kind of face to face day in Sydney to welcome RAOF22:47
seb128rurti, do you use gnome?22:48
TheMusorickspencer3: Yeah sounds like a reasonable idea.22:48
rurtiits Ubuntu 8.4 LTS it should be gnome22:48
seb128rurti, try changing gnome-session by x-session-manager there22:51
seb128it's an equivalent22:51
RAOFIt'd be nice to have a get-together.  Somewhere near a train station :)22:51
rurtiok that works22:51
rurtiit says command not found one second22:53
rurtiyea command not found22:54
robert_ancellSounds good.  RAOF - where are you in Sydney>22:54
robert_ancell?22:54
RAOFrobert_ancell: Cammeray; tucked away down the lower north shore.22:55
chrisccoulsonseb128 - do you think bug 530751 needs a UI freeze exception? i'm reluctant to keep uploading string changes now...22:55
ubottuLaunchpad bug 530751 in hundredpapercuts ""Battery Discharging" is a horribly worded message" [Low,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/53075122:55
robert_ancellRAOF, well, I'm on the border between Crows Nest a Cammeray so not far22:56
seb128chrisccoulson, I would just do it and notify translators if we think it's important to have22:58
rurtiseb128: are you wanting to know what the current path is?22:58
seb128I'm not english native speaker so I don't really know how weird "discharging" looks for you22:58
seb128rurti, yes, in the /proc/PID/environment22:58
chrisccoulsonseb128 - i hadn't really noticed it to be weird before22:58
seb128rurti, yes, in the /proc/PID/environ22:58
chrisccoulsonanyway, i'll look at that in the morning22:58
seb128chrisccoulson, I will let you make the call22:58
seb128chrisccoulson, if you change it do it this week and drop an email to the ubuntu-translators list I would say22:59
seb128it's still ok to do22:59
seb128it just has a cost for our translators etc22:59
rurtiseb128: there is no /proc/PID/environ22:59
chrisccoulsonseb128 - ok, i'll do that then. i might have some changes to the apport hook to upload tomorrow as well22:59
RAOFrobert_ancell: Excellent taste in real estate ;)23:00
rurtiseb128: would that give the same output as printenv?23:00
seb128rurti, PID is the pid of gnome-session23:00
seb128rurti, no, because when you open a command line it parses .profile23:00
rurtiseb128: yes i know but environ is not there when i ls it23:00
seb128rurti, and I want to know the environment of the session not the one of a bash session which read .profile23:00
seb128rurti, how did you get the pid of gnome-session?23:01
seb128rurti, try ls /proc/`pidof gnome-panel`23:01
rurtipidof x-session-gnome23:01
seb128rurti, I said x-session-manager before23:01
seb128not x-session-gnome23:01
rurtisorry23:01
rurtitypo23:01
rurtix-session-manager23:02
seb128and it's not working?23:02
rurtiill give you what it lists23:02
seb128rurti, ok sorry but that channel is not an user support one23:02
seb128I'm fine giving hints but I don't want to spend an hour having to explain every detail23:02
seb128try #ubuntu23:02
rurtiits ok23:03
TheMusoRAOF, robert_ancell, I'm inner west Sydney, so I'm happy to travel to that region of Sydney, train stations permitting. :)23:03
rurtiok got it to work23:04
rurtihad a typo23:04
rurtithe path here is correct23:04
rurticorrection the path is not correct23:05
seb128how incorrect?23:05
rurtithe other variables i set are correct except the path23:05
rurtiseb128: all i see under path are the usual bin dirs23:06
rurtiseb128: the command i was missing btw was cat23:08
seb128ok23:08
seb128I'm not sure about the path23:08
rurtiis it possible the path could be getting over written?23:09
seb128rurti, try hacking /etc/login.defs23:09
seb128rurti, right, path is handled in a specific way23:09
rurtiseb128: can you tell me where the gui sets the path variable?23:11
seb128rurti, did you try to look at the file I just pointed you at?23:11
rurtiseb128: working on it23:11
rurtiseb128: ok after i have alter this file do i have to reboot to see the settings take effect?23:13
seb128rurti, I would say just start a new session23:13
rurtiseb128: ok give me a minute to test this out please, i really do appreciate you patience with me on this23:14
seb128np23:15
rurtiok23:17
rurtiseb128: i was reading the document ion in this file, ENV_PATH is what my path is set to, it says they are minimal and to add  the rest in the shell at startup.  do you know what this means?23:18
seb128it means to not change logins.def but rather try to do what you were trying to do23:19
seb128try asking on #ubuntu-devel maybe how to add a dir to your PATH for the desktop environment23:19
rurtiic thank you very much you have been helpful, i think this may be the problem.23:20
chrisccoulsonhmmm, there's a nice helpful comment at the end of bug 44082 now23:26

chrisccoulsonseb128 - oh, did you comment too? i only noticed from what was in my inbox23:29
chrisccoulsonfrom josh leverette23:29
seb128chrisccoulson, just a "you would have better used your time working on the issue rather than on such comments"23:30
chrisccoulsonseb128 - oh, i didn't realise you'd already commented. i wasn't referring to your comment anyway ;)23:30
seb128;-)23:30
seb128I never had my application menu moving23:31
seb128I do sometime have applets on the other side though23:31
chrisccoulsoni must admit, i've noticed the applets moving a few times since getting my laptop23:32
chrisccoulsonit's normally after i undock though23:32
seb128I guess it happens after geometry changes too23:32
seb128does anybody know if you can set the wm buttons order from a theme?23:33
RAOFAlright!  F-spot memory useage now goes up *and* down :)23:55
