[10:45] cjwatson: when are you going to get round to fixing that distorted ubuntu logo? [10:46] michaelforrest1: not sure [10:46] it's behind the things that are preventing lots of people from installing [10:51] I'll target it for beta-2, but I can't give an exact time ... [10:52] I'm not even sure it will be possible to get it perfect [10:59] 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 [11:00] oh, hmm, there is something there [11:00] there's a monitorsize primitive which uses EDID. Whether it'll work on all panels I'm not sure === ogra_ is now known as ogra [12:12] casper: evand * r787 casper/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.229 [14:40] ubiquity: evand * r3972 ubiquity/ (d-i/manifest debian/changelog): [14:40] ubiquity: Automatic update of included source packages: grub-installer [14:40] ubiquity: 1.49ubuntu8.

[16:17] 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 ;) [16:18] this would be for bug 540933 and friends [16:18] Launchpad bug 540933 in ubiquity "no wallpaper when running oem-config-kde" [Medium,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/540933 [16:21] ev: looking [16:22] shtylman_: you rock [16:23] ev: who wrote that code initially? [16:24] me, poorly [16:24] cobbled together from bits on the intertubes [16:24] haha [16:25] what is it trying to do? [16:25] set the wallpaper for the desktop? [16:25] yes [16:25] that's the end goal [16:25] gotcha [16:26] has the desktop session been started at this point? [16:27] so part of the problem I think is that your application will be garbage collected immediately [16:27] it's garbage collected when it goes out of scope [16:27] well, at the earliest [16:28] right [16:28] which is at the end of the if [16:28] according to that paste [16:28] right, but after that point X has the pixbuf on its root window [16:28] so it doesn't matter [16:29] shtylman_: see the GTK code further up in ubiquity-dm, it scales an image, sets it on the root window, then goes away [16:30] s/,/:/ [16:30] I see [16:31] there must be an easy way to do this in Qt, but it has so far escaped me [16:32] I am actually thinking there is just an easy way to do this in kde ingeneral [16:42] ev: as an aside.... doesn't the kde session set the wallaper for you? [16:42] shtylman_: we don't have a full kde session here (on purpose) [16:42] gotcha [16:43] we want the "install ubuntu" mode to be as lightweight as possible [16:43] so it just starts X and a window manager [16:43] and whatever other bits it needs to support the installer [16:51] ev is the screen black? [16:52] shtylman_: yes, we haven't painted anything to it [16:52] there's also the default X cursor, which something needs to change [16:52] heh [16:54] 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] that's how xfce systems get away with setting the background for gdm-session-bin normally [16:55] yeah, though I'd very much prefer to figure this out. [16:55] I have gotten it to work from the python console [16:55] 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] (judging by shtylman_'s laughter, not very) [16:56] 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. [16:57] does that only work with kde's window manager? [16:58] 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 [17:02] ctrl-alt-f1, DISPLAY=:0 xterm [17:05] well, this is to get rid of the installer window, which covers the entire screen [17:05] so we can see what, if anything, is painted on the root window [17:05] for some reason i was thinking that the X server wouldn't allow apps launched like that, but yeah that clearly works [17:06] ah, well you could DISPLAY=:0 metacity :-) but that might repaint the root window [17:06] or DISPLAY=:0 import -screen root.png [17:06] s/metacity/kwin/, but yeah ;) [17:07] if imagemagick is installed [17:07] it's not, unfortunately [17:07] oh, except I think that captures stuff that overlaps the root window [17:07] though that still feels dirty and wrong [17:07] when qt is perfectly capable of drawing [17:08] I'm just not capable of deciphering its API [17:08] import -window root # then [17:09] ev: since the installer window is fullscreen... why bother setting the wallpaper at all? [17:09] shtylman_: it's not always full screen [17:09] gotcha [17:09] if you're lucky, you'll get to the install progress window [17:10] (or if you use oem-config) [17:10] 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] I think it might be possible that qt is queueing those events [17:10] and until you tell the app to process them it doesn't actually do anything to the x window [17:15] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libatasmart/+bug/445852?comments=all <- will this be fixed? [17:15] Ubuntu bug 445852 in libatasmart "devkit-disks-probe-ata-smart causes HSM Violations on SSD, and potential hardware death" [Unknown,Confirmed] [17:16] BGL-[e]: this is not the right channel. [17:16] well sometimes i can't even get it installed as a result of it [17:17] but which would be a more appropriate channel [17:17] i've been trying to get a working install since 9.10 [17:18] BGL-[e]: I have installed lucid and karmic on ssd drives just fine [17:18] okay [17:19] 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] or speak to upstream [17:19] that's what i've been doing [17:19] who would be the upstream? [17:21] libatasmart [17:21] there's posts of some one already trying to get a response from themn [17:21] in post 162 [17:21] i guess i duno i'm not really in a position to be speaking with them, but i am having that issue [17:31] shtylman_: spot on, the processEvents at least got me a pretty picture [17:31] but I still have the default X cursor (though expectedly) [17:32] ev: cool... for cursor maybe try root_win.setCursor(Qt.ArrowCursor) [17:33] but it is possible that because no "theme" has been loaded that it hasn't found the pretty cursors [17:34] you may have to set the style on the app... and then it might pick up on the pretty cursor [17:37] shtylman_: again, you rock [17:37] :) [17:37] it picked up the themed cursor just fine, for what it's worth [17:37] cool ... thats good to know [17:38] I half expected it would... cause the qt style detection stuff should see oxygen available [17:44] ubiquity: evand * r3975 ubiquity/ (bin/ubiquity-dm debian/changelog): [17:44] ubiquity: Set a wallpaper and cursor for the KDE frontend when in only- [17:44] ubiquity: ubiquity mode (LP: #540933, LP: #540339).

[18:33] mterry: ping [18:33] komputes, hi [18:34] mterry: hey there, jcastro let me know that deja-dup was already proposed to GNOME as a default backup suite [18:34] komputes, yeah, not much action on that, but it was proposed [18:35] 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] 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? [18:36] 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? [18:37] * mterry realizes this isn't probably #ubuntu-installer material [18:38] Maybe you could use a hand or something, I could mentor and act as a filter to get info to you. [18:38] komputes, I have to go, but I'd love to talk about this. [18:38] mterry: sure, ping me when avail [18:38] komputes, I could mentor some too, but I would welcome any help mentoring or otherwise [18:38] komputes, will do.
