| michaelforrest1 | cjwatson: when are you going to get round to fixing that distorted ubuntu logo? | 10:45 |
| cjwatson | michaelforrest1: not sure | 10:46 |
| cjwatson | it's behind the things that are preventing lots of people from installing | 10:46 |
| cjwatson | I'll target it for beta-2, but I can't give an exact time ... | 10:51 |
| cjwatson | I'm not even sure it will be possible to get it perfect | 10:52 |
| cjwatson | actually at the moment I'm not sure I even know where to start. The only way to improve it at all is to know the native panel resolution, which I suppose would mean hacking EDID support into gfxboot somehow | 10:59 |
| cjwatson | oh, hmm, there is something there | 11:00 |
| cjwatson | there's a monitorsize primitive which uses EDID. Whether it'll work on all panels I'm not sure | 11:00 |

| * ev sighs at the difficulty in putting an image on the root window in Qt. | 14:54 | |
| ev | shtylman_: can you take a look at this - http://paste.ubuntu.com/400057/ . I cannot for the life of me get it working, and I think it's mainly to do with being out of my depth in all of this Qt nonsense ;) | 16:17 |
| ev | this would be for bug 540933 and friends | 16:18 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 540933 in ubiquity "no wallpaper when running oem-config-kde" [Medium,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/540933 | 16:18 |
| shtylman_ | ev: looking | 16:21 |
| ev | shtylman_: you rock | 16:22 |
| shtylman_ | ev: who wrote that code initially? | 16:23 |
| ev | me, poorly | 16:24 |
| ev | cobbled together from bits on the intertubes | 16:24 |
| shtylman_ | haha | 16:24 |
| shtylman_ | what is it trying to do? | 16:25 |
| shtylman_ | set the wallpaper for the desktop? | 16:25 |
| ev | yes | 16:25 |
| ev | that's the end goal | 16:25 |
| shtylman_ | gotcha | 16:25 |
| shtylman_ | has the desktop session been started at this point? | 16:26 |
| shtylman_ | so part of the problem I think is that your application will be garbage collected immediately | 16:27 |
| ev | it's garbage collected when it goes out of scope | 16:27 |
| ev | well, at the earliest | 16:27 |
| shtylman_ | right | 16:28 |
| shtylman_ | which is at the end of the if | 16:28 |
| shtylman_ | according to that paste | 16:28 |
| ev | right, but after that point X has the pixbuf on its root window | 16:28 |
| ev | so it doesn't matter | 16:28 |
| ev | shtylman_: see the GTK code further up in ubiquity-dm, it scales an image, sets it on the root window, then goes away | 16:29 |
| ev | s/,/:/ | 16:30 |
| shtylman_ | I see | 16:30 |
| ev | there must be an easy way to do this in Qt, but it has so far escaped me | 16:31 |
| shtylman_ | I am actually thinking there is just an easy way to do this in kde ingeneral | 16:32 |
| shtylman_ | ev: as an aside.... doesn't the kde session set the wallaper for you? | 16:42 |
| ev | shtylman_: we don't have a full kde session here (on purpose) | 16:42 |
| shtylman_ | gotcha | 16:42 |
| ev | we want the "install ubuntu" mode to be as lightweight as possible | 16:43 |
| ev | so it just starts X and a window manager | 16:43 |
| ev | and whatever other bits it needs to support the installer | 16:43 |
| shtylman_ | ev is the screen black? | 16:51 |
| ev | shtylman_: yes, we haven't painted anything to it | 16:52 |
| ev | there's also the default X cursor, which something needs to change | 16:52 |
| shtylman_ | heh | 16:52 |
| superm1 | ev, as a last resort you can consider just using an external tool to do it, and adding a dependency to ubiquity-frontend-kde | 16:54 |
| superm1 | that's how xfce systems get away with setting the background for gdm-session-bin normally | 16:54 |
| ev | yeah, though I'd very much prefer to figure this out. | 16:55 |
| ev | I have gotten it to work from the python console | 16:55 |
| ev | but clearly I'm missing at least one piece of the puzzle, as it's not working from within ubiquity-dm, and I'm not sure how correct my code is | 16:55 |
| ev | (judging by shtylman_'s laughter, not very) | 16:55 |
| ev | in case anyone is curious how I'm testing this, I minimize the installer window by first pressing alt-f3 to bring up the window manager menu. | 16:56 |
| superm1 | does that only work with kde's window manager? | 16:57 |
| superm1 | my only way to get a console in ubiquity-dm w/ gtk was clicking one of the links during the slideshow and going to irc:// with the helper app xterm | 16:58 |
| cjwatson | ctrl-alt-f1, DISPLAY=:0 xterm | 17:02 |
| ev | well, this is to get rid of the installer window, which covers the entire screen | 17:05 |
| ev | so we can see what, if anything, is painted on the root window | 17:05 |
| superm1 | for some reason i was thinking that the X server wouldn't allow apps launched like that, but yeah that clearly works | 17:05 |
| cjwatson | ah, well you could DISPLAY=:0 metacity :-) but that might repaint the root window | 17:06 |
| cjwatson | or DISPLAY=:0 import -screen root.png | 17:06 |
| ev | s/metacity/kwin/, but yeah ;) | 17:06 |
| cjwatson | if imagemagick is installed | 17:07 |
| ev | it's not, unfortunately | 17:07 |
| cjwatson | oh, except I think that captures stuff that overlaps the root window | 17:07 |
| ev | though that still feels dirty and wrong | 17:07 |
| ev | when qt is perfectly capable of drawing | 17:07 |
| ev | I'm just not capable of deciphering its API | 17:08 |
| cjwatson | import -window root # then | 17:08 |
| shtylman_ | ev: since the installer window is fullscreen... why bother setting the wallpaper at all? | 17:09 |
| ev | shtylman_: it's not always full screen | 17:09 |
| shtylman_ | gotcha | 17:09 |
| ev | if you're lucky, you'll get to the install progress window | 17:09 |
| ev | (or if you use oem-config) | 17:10 |
| shtylman_ | oh..something I thought of on my way back from geting food... is you should try to do a.processEvents at the end | 17:10 |
| shtylman_ | I think it might be possible that qt is queueing those events | 17:10 |
| shtylman_ | and until you tell the app to process them it doesn't actually do anything to the x window | 17:10 |

| BGL-[e] | okay | 17:18 |
| ev | BGL-[e]: To be perfectly honest, I don't think it's a matter to be handled on IRC. I would suggest replying in the bug report. | 17:19 |
| ev | or speak to upstream | 17:19 |
| BGL-[e] | that's what i've been doing | 17:19 |
| BGL-[e] | who would be the upstream? | 17:19 |
| ev | libatasmart | 17:21 |
| BGL-[e] | there's posts of some one already trying to get a response from themn | 17:21 |
| BGL-[e] | in post 162 | 17:21 |
| BGL-[e] | i guess i duno i'm not really in a position to be speaking with them, but i am having that issue | 17:21 |
| ev | shtylman_: spot on, the processEvents at least got me a pretty picture | 17:31 |
| ev | but I still have the default X cursor (though expectedly) | 17:31 |
| shtylman_ | ev: cool... for cursor maybe try root_win.setCursor(Qt.ArrowCursor) | 17:32 |
| shtylman_ | but it is possible that because no "theme" has been loaded that it hasn't found the pretty cursors | 17:33 |
| shtylman_ | you may have to set the style on the app... and then it might pick up on the pretty cursor | 17:34 |
| ev | shtylman_: again, you rock | 17:37 |
| shtylman_ | :) | 17:37 |
| ev | it picked up the themed cursor just fine, for what it's worth | 17:37 |
| shtylman_ | cool ... thats good to know | 17:37 |
| shtylman_ | I half expected it would... cause the qt style detection stuff should see oxygen available | 17:38 |

| komputes | mterry: ping | 18:33 |
| mterry | komputes, hi | 18:33 |
| komputes | mterry: hey there, jcastro let me know that deja-dup was already proposed to GNOME as a default backup suite | 18:34 |
| mterry | komputes, yeah, not much action on that, but it was proposed | 18:34 |
| komputes | mterry: I proposed a similar project for GSoC 2010, should the proposal be removed or should we keep it up and propose the students fix bugs in deja-dup? | 18:35 |
| mterry | komputes, :) I would love people fixing bugs in deja-dup. I assume that would mean I'd need to be willing to mentor and all that? | 18:35 |
| mterry | komputes, I think that decision (whether to continue gsoc project separately or work on deja-dup) might depend on the deja-dup-in-GNOME proposal status? | 18:36 |
| * mterry realizes this isn't probably #ubuntu-installer material | 18:37 | |
| komputes | Maybe you could use a hand or something, I could mentor and act as a filter to get info to you. | 18:38 |
| mterry | komputes, I have to go, but I'd love to talk about this. | 18:38 |
| komputes | mterry: sure, ping me when avail | 18:38 |
| mterry | komputes, I could mentor some too, but I would welcome any help mentoring or otherwise | 18:38 |
| mterry | komputes, will do. I'm in UK timezone for this week | 18:38 |
