hernejjI'm looking at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/540006  and I'm wondering if I can bother an idle desktop team member to look it over really quick :) I think it should be assigned to the desktop team but I'd like confirmation first.03:08
ubottuUbuntu bug 540006 in gnome-panel "bottom panel appears to have double column" [Undecided,Confirmed]03:08
tseliotKeybuk, Riddell, pitti: what is that makes kdm use vt8 even with pitti's patch?07:03
pittiGood morning07:34
pittitseliot: it's the activateVT() funtion; it probes everything in serverVTs until it hits an unallocated one07:34
pittitseliot: but with my h4ck patch from last night, the first instance is forced to vt707:35
pittitseliot: (which works fine, but that patch isn't what we should actually upload; it needs to ask plymouth for the terminal  it should use, etc.)07:35
pittitseliot: btw, I figured out now how to build and run kdm in two minutes (no need to build the entire package)07:35
pittitseliot: so if you need help with that, just ping07:36
baptistemmHello07:42
=== tkamppeter_ is now known as tkamppeter
tseliotpitti: do you mean that kdm should see if plymouth is active and start the xserver on the active vt? Or is it something else?07:51
tseliotalso, instructions on how to builr kdm in 2 minutes would be more than welcome ;)07:52
pittitseliot: yes, with the algorithm that Keybuk said yesterday afternoon here07:57
pittitseliot: so, start building the package until it's done with cmake and starts compiling; then ^C07:57
pittitseliot: then hack code, make -C obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/kdm && sudo cp obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/kdm/kdm/backend/kdm /usr/bin/kdm && sudo kdm -nodaemon07:58
pittitseliot: for some weird reason kdm doesn't start right out of the build tree, I guess it checks its path somewhere07:58
pittitseliot: obviously the build dir will be named differently on i386, but you get the idea07:59
tseliotpitti: I've recently moved to Lucid amd64 (which works much better than i386 here) so it won't really be a problem ;)08:00
tseliotthat will definitely save me a lot of time08:00
tseliotthanks for sharing08:00
pittikdm itself is tiny, builds in a minute or less08:00
pittitseliot: oh, for that you need to have the kdm package actually installed, though08:00
pittitseliot: so that it has all its other files, and you just update /usr/bin/kdm08:01
tseliotpitti: yes, sure, I took it for granted08:01
tseliotpitti: maybe 27_save_root_window.patch needs to be ported too (to be used with drm renderers i.e. intel, radeon, nouveau)08:03
pittitseliot: yes, for visual bonus08:04

seb128mvo, when removing the applet from your config the gconf config is not cleaned08:58
seb128so the script still see an indicator-applet08:58
seb128but that's config leftover, it's not activated08:59
seb128we need better logic to differenciate cruft from active applets08:59

dpmseb128, translations for the shortcuts shown there are not loaded. They are only loaded when you start the corresponding app (i.e. only when I start Evolution, the Mail entry gets translated, the same for Empathy with the Chat entry, and the same with Gwibber for the Broadcast entry)10:16

mvoseb128: hi, it looks like we may need a transitional package for gobject-introspection-repository12:25
seb128mvo, hey, oh, why?12:26
mvoseb128: in one (incomplete) upgrae test its held at the same version. but afaics we replaced it with gir-repository-dev or something12:27
mvoseb128: it also looks like some replaces are missing, I add them now (libunique, webkit)12:27
seb128mvo, we rather splitted it in a lot of gir-<component>12:27
mvoseb128: hm, but it needs to go away, right?12:27
seb128mvo, gobject-introspection-repository?12:27
mvoyes12:27
seb128mvo, yes, it conflicts will all the new binaryes12:28
seb128binaries12:28
seb128mvo, give me a minute I'm checking that I don't mix gir-reposition and gobject-introspection12:29
mvoseb128: sure, its very confusing for me too :)12:29
seb128mvo, ok, so that was gir-repository building a monolitic deb12:30
seb128debian made a deb by gir now12:31
seb128and they all conflicts, replace gobject-introspection-repository12:31
seb128or just Conflicts12:31
mvoseb128: ok, I will keep a eye open then, maybe it was just a odd effect that it was held back12:31
seb128mvo, see gir1.0-gnomekeyring-2.0 for example12:31
seb128mvo, well maybe something still depends on it rather than using the gir-*12:32
seb128but rdepends lists nothing there12:32
mvoseb128: for stuff like libunique-dev where the info traveled from the big repository to libuniqueue-dev we need a "Replaces: gobject-introspection-repository" so that when the package is not yet removed dpkg does not error out12:33
mvoseb128: I added that to libunique now - or should that get a new gir1.0-libunique package too?12:33
seb128mvo, ack, I know how replaces work12:34
seb128mvo, the thing is that those gir have been made different binaries in gir-repository12:34
mvoseb128: I know that you know :)12:34
seb128but are migrating to proper sources as they should now12:34
seb128so maybe we dropped some of those Replaces on the way12:34
seb128let me look at what libunique is doing12:34
mvoseb128: I uploaded it to the queue already12:36
seb128mvo, the issue was the dev having the .gir right?12:36
seb128were g-i-d used to have it?12:36

seb128udev has12:44

seb128wth?12:46
seb128all those for the same device12:46
seb128which is an ipod nano device12:46
pittiseb128: sorry, was off IRC for gpm debugging12:57
seb128pitti, np12:58
pittiseb128: so, udisks ships rules to set PRESENTATION_ICON_NAME for certain media players like Apple12:58
pittiseb128: and a rule to assign a general icon for any media player known by media-player-info12:58
pittiSUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ENV{ID_MEDIA_PLAYER}=="?*", ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_ICON_NAME}="multimedia-player"12:58
pittiSUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="05ac", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1209", ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_ICON_NAME}="multimedia-player-ipod-white"12:58
pittiseb128: so, that's how it gets into udev/udisks12:59
pittiseb128: gdu/gvfs check that property12:59
pittiseb128: the list in gvfs is fallbacks -- if the first (and most specific) one isnt' available, it falls back to the next one12:59
seb128right13:00
seb128so there udevadm has DKD_PRESENTATION_ICON_NAME=multimedia-player-apple-ipod-nano-white13:00
pittiseb128: what you should actually see on the desktop is drive-removable-media-usb13:00
seb128which is correct13:00
pittiseems we don't have an icon for the "white nano"13:00
seb128I should get multimedia-player-apple-ipod13:00
seb128not drive-removable-media-usb13:00
seb128the fallback is multimedia-player-apple-ipod-nano-white -> multimedia-player-apple-ipod-nano -> multimedia-player-apple-ipod13:01
pittiseb128: is that on karmic?13:01
seb128pitti, no, it's current lucid13:01
pittiseb128: because on lucid it should watch for UDISKS_PRESENTATION_ICON_NAME13:01
pitti(and set that)13:01
seb128udisks --dump has "presentation icon:           multimedia-player"13:01
seb128but udev has "DKD_PRESENTATION_ICON_NAME=multimedia-player-apple-ipod-nano-white"13:01
seb128so there is already infos lost on the way between those13:02
seb128or I'm reading that wrong?13:02

seb128E: DKD_PRESENTATION_ICON_NAME=multimedia-player-apple-ipod-nano-white13:02

seb128pitti, do you want to open a bug about that?13:03
pittiseb128: please do, with "apport-bug storage"13:03
seb128or do you want me to open one rather13:03

tseliotKeybuk: do we really need plymouth_quit_with_transition() in gdm? Or shall I really port it to kdm?13:34
seb128chrisccoulson, it moved too13:35
seb128mvo, ok, maybe I did change the grub file on that box after all, I though I didn't on the other one though13:43
seb128mvo, can I check the diff after install somewhere?13:43
mvoseb128: there should be a dpkg-old or -dist file around13:44
seb128mvo, ok, I will look to the other box later I'm not around it now13:44
seb128mvo, I just upgraded my parents's box13:44
mvook13:44
seb128karmic to lucid13:45
seb128out of the nm-applet exiting on lack of icon no issue13:45
mvoseb128: nice, I will do that on the weekend I think. let me know how it goes. for me it will be hardy->lucid13:45
seb128good job ;-)13:45
mvoseb128: I just did a hardy->lucid on my old laptop and it worked remarkable well13:45
seb128mvo, is there a log where I can check for files overwritten?13:45
seb128just to see if there is some13:45
seb128mvo, nice!13:45
mvoseb128: yes, that is in apt-term.log13:45
mvoseb128: /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt-term.log13:45
seb128mvo, I had to upgrade my parents computer to karmic some months ago13:46
mvoseb128: search for "warning there"13:46
seb128I tried to keep it as a hardy to lucid upgrade13:46
seb128ok13:46
seb128but they changed some hardware13:46
seb128and the new ati didn't work well under hardy13:46
seb128mvo, gnome-menus fix uploaded btw, I also fixed a conffile cleaning issue (one xdg menu file left over in etc)13:47
mvocool13:48
tseliotKeybuk: I take back my question. Never mind13:49
milanbvtedg: mind talking about indicator-applet?13:50
tedgmilanbv: Sure13:51
milanbvtedg: it's about the menu item called "Switch from $USERNAME"13:58
milanbvit's pretty hard to translate (in French)13:58
Keybuktseliot: ;-)13:58
milanbvand I wonder whether even in English it's clear13:59
Keybuktseliot: we don't *need* it - but kubuntu will look like donkey poo and sabdfl would get upset when he upgrades his kubuntu desktop13:59
tedgmpt: ^13:59
tseliotKeybuk: yes, reading your instructions helps at times :-P13:59
Keybuktseliot: I find that too; if I actually read the notes I write the night before, I get a head start13:59
milanbvwhat's the purpose of showing the username in this menu rather than saying "Switch user" just as before?13:59
Keybukthis is hampered by my terrible handwriting of course13:59
tedgmilanbv: I think that it's clear in English.  It's more saying that you're going away from this user.13:59
tedgmilanbv: I think the goal of adding the user name is to give you some context of what you're leaving.  But, I didn't write that, mpt did.14:00
milanbvtedg: OK - but the username is the title of the toplevel menu, isn't it?14:00
milanbvmpt, any thoughts on that? ^14:01
tseliotKeybuk: yes, I do the same (my notebook is always open and filled with notes) and my handwriting is terrible too14:01
tedgmilanbv: It's the top level in the next menu over, but yes it is on the panel.14:01
milanbvright14:01
milanbv(not to say that on the Live CD, "Switch from ubuntu" sounds really strange ;-) )14:02
mptmilanbv, if you find it impractical to translate in a way that includes the account name, translate it in a way that doesn't include the current account name14:03
mptI don't see what that has to do with the English string, though.14:03
milanbvmpt: yeah, we agreed on using the equivalent of "Switch user"14:03
tseliotKeybuk: so, on Kubuntu we either start X on the vt that plymouth was using or  (if there's no plymouth) we let kdm choose (without hardcoding vt7?) the vt, right?14:03
milanbvbut I just wanted to make sure it's a good choice in English too14:03
Keybuktseliot: yes, but more complex than that14:04
mpttedg, I just noticed, it's "Switch from" when it should be "Switch From"14:04
Keybukbut that's the idea14:04
Keybukif plymouth is running, deactivate it14:04
Keybukafter that, if plymouth has an active vt still, start X *on the active VT* passing -nr14:04
Keybukif plymouth does not have an active vt, tell plymouth to quit14:05
tseliotKeybuk: yes, I know, I have your notes here ;)14:05
Keybukthen start X using the previous procedure14:05
Keybukok14:05
tedgmpt: :-/14:05
milanbvtedg, mpt: OK, thanks, if you think it's the right choice in English, we'll simply fix our translation14:07
tseliotKeybuk: also, there's no equivalent for g_spawn_command_line_sync, so shall I just use system() and simply check the status? Or do you prefer something else for debugging?14:07
milanbvFrench really misses an equivalent of "switch" here ;-)14:07
andreasnmpt, do you happen to have the url to your Dotted Paper around?14:07
Keybuktseliot: no idea14:08
KeybukI don't know that code14:08

seb128(not only them but I didn't think english speaking would complain about it)14:10
tseliotKeybuk: my question was about the need of something like g_debug ("Could not ask plymouth: %s", error->message) as in gdm.  g_spawn_command_line_sync provides "error->message" for debugging14:11

seb128pitti, multimedia-player-ipod-white is not an issue14:38
seb128the fallback works by dropping "-nnnn" until matching14:38
pittiah, sweet14:38
seb128so multimedia-player-ipod-white -> multimedia-player-ipod14:38
seb128that's how the specs has been designed for icons14:38
pittiseb128: ok, that's the part that I was missing about icon naming14:38
seb128pitti, that's why the gvfs list is what it is14:39
pittiseb128: still, I think the udev rule is okay like that, since we can't assume a color14:39
seb128    themed icons:  [drive-removable-media-usb]  [drive-removable-media]  [drive-removable]  [drive]14:39
seb128dropping "-nnnn" until matching14:39
pittiseb128: nevermind gvfs/gdu just yet, I know that there's something wrong there as well14:39
seb128well the id tell us the color I think14:39
seb128teuf is building a table for those for libgpod14:39
seb128but that's another topic14:39
seb128right14:39
seb128I was just doing a side comment on the icon naming thing since you seemed confused about it14:40
seb128pitti, devicekit-disks is rc there14:40
seb128ie still configured14:40
seb128I don't have a 95-devkit-disks.rules though14:40
seb128how do I check what conffiles it left over?14:40
pittiseb128: hm, do you have a custom file in /etc/udev/rules.d/ ?14:40
pittiseb128: dpkg -s devicekit-disks14:40

seb128I'm upgrading since box since I have it14:41
seb128I don't do reinstalls :p14:41
seb128is since hardy or something14:41
pittiseb128: I think that's just a victim of not having done the udev etc->lib migration for dk-d (it was never in a release)14:42
pittiseb128: so, just nuke it14:42

slomoseb128: do you have any new bugreports about the gobject property thread safety thing? in gstreamer there are workarounds for this at the most common places15:14
seb128slomo, we keep getting bugs about it but mostly from karmic15:15
seb128I would have to check if some come from lucid15:15
seb128since the upstream bug didn't change I assumed it was still there15:15
seb128I will watch for it15:15
seb128but good to know gstreamer workaround it ;-)15:15
slomoi'd prefer to fix it in gobject but i don't want to spend a lot of time on this before someone says it's the way to go... and getting patches into gobject takes too long ;)15:17
