kiwinotedo you have some time now, or would you prefer later today?10:01
mptkiwinote, now's good10:01
kiwinoteok10:01
mptActually, 20 minutes10:01
kiwinoteok, sound good10:01
mptkiwinote, ok, ready now. Would you prefer IRC or phone?10:12
kiwinoteback10:15
kiwinotewhichever, irc perhaps?10:15
mptsure10:15
kiwinoteso wrt the list i sent you last week or so, are there any things that you do/don't want to see this cycle?10:16
kiwinotei have had a look through the list, and the first few things i would like to do are gdebi, apturl (if not already done), monitoring pkgcache.bin (refreshes) and then add-ons10:19
mptkiwinote, I think that would be an excellent priority list10:20
chrisccoulsongood morning everyone10:24
kiwinotempt: are windicators and removing status bars things that s-c will do this cycle, or do we let other apps experiment this cycle and perhaps let s-c follow in the next cycles?10:27
mptkiwinote, the bottom bar in USC isn't really a status bar. See the 4.0 mockup for how we're going to add +/– buttons to it, for example. I don't think there's any way windicators would be helpful to USC.10:29
Keybukindicating that a download is in progress?10:29
Keybukindicating that updates are available?10:29
mptThe "In Progress" item already shows that a download is in progress10:29
mptIf it turns out to be a good idea to show updates in USC, we'll add a left-pane item for that too10:30
Keybukit doesn't sound like you're riding the windicator band wagon to me10:31
* mpt searches for something to throw at Keybuk 10:32
mptI'm writing the specification for windicators, so if they're a bandwagon, I'm the horse.10:33
* popey volunteers Keybuk for mucking out duties10:33
lifelessmpt: uhm, ewww. :P10:34
* vish feels the windicators will just be allowing applications which abused the notification area to abuse the windicators multifold! ;p10:34
kiwinotempt: did you have anything else you wanted to discuss at this stage? the implementation details can probably best wait until i actually start.10:35
mptkiwinote, did you say you were going to start June 21st?10:36
kiwinoteyeah, that's when my exams are over..10:36
mpthm, ok10:37
mptGoing until when?10:37
kiwinotehalf september or so10:37
kiwinoteso that's kind of starting and finishing a month later than the official dates10:38
mptyeah, I'm wondering if that's going to be an issue at all10:39
lifelessvish: I'm quite excited by the idea of a tasteful structured way to go things like offline mode consistently10:40
mptkiwinote, I'll discuss that with people who know more about it than I do10:40
vishlifeless: i'm kinda glad mpt is the horse :p [we'll have some sanity there :)]10:40
kiwinotempt: from what i understand the official dates are based on the us summer holidays, rather than the european ones10:40
kiwinotempt: but there are many european students who participate, so i presume it isn't too much of a problem10:41
mptok10:41
vishlifeless: for offline modes though , it is already consistent. the lower left corner's are where it is displayed. but windicators might lead to consistency for all statuses10:42
kiwinotempt: wrt the modified release schedule it means i'll have to keep a close eye on the various freezes, but that should be doable, and elsewise some of the later stuff i do just lands in m+110:43
mptright10:43
lifelessvish: huh? not for chrome, for instance10:45
huatsmorning10:46
vishlifeless: ah , chrome!  :)10:46
kiwinotempt: then I think that's all for now unless you have anything else10:47

faganpitti: you have a minute to look at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/438744/11:05
faganits for maverick11:05
faganhmmmm since it seems to be x complaining maybe I should ask on #ubuntu-x11:07
chrisccoulsonfagan - those errors are nearly always a client error, rather than a server error11:12
chrisccoulsonin your case, it's due to csd being switched on in gtk last week ;)11:12
faganah ok chris11:12
faganI just had to switch to vlc for the moment :)11:13
faganI just thought id bring it up to see if it wasnt known11:13
chrisccoulsonyeah, i think that's already known11:14
chrisccoulsonclient side decorations seems to break quite a few things currently11:14
czajkowskikenvandine: any idea why gwibber is acting up again and using 98% of cpu11:15
faganchrisccoulson: but boy do they look pretty11:16
chrisccoulsonheh, i'm not running maverick yet, so i don't know ;)11:16
faganchrisccoulson: well rgba isnt turned on yet, on my machine anyway11:16
chrisccoulsoni thought that was turned on by default now as well11:17
faganchrisccoulson: hmmm well all im getting is rgba window borders11:18
faganand thats only for non focused windows11:18
qenseCould anyone here accept <https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/dx-m-app-indicator> for the maverick series? It's only proposed at the moment, but it seems like an important Blueprint, and we're missing it now from the burn-down charts.11:24
faganqense: im sure its on someone's todo list11:25
chrisccoulsonqense, i think the person who needs to do that (dbarth) has a public holiday today11:26
qensechrisccoulson: Probably11:26
chrisccoulsonthere is a noticeable lack of french speaking people in here today ;)11:27
faganchrisccoulson: yeah I noticed that. :)11:28
qenseYou don't miss the Dutch? ;) We're having a bank holiday as well.11:28
qenseDoesn't half Europe has a day of today?11:28
faganqense: not Ireland anyway11:28
* fagan has a college test at 211:28
chrisccoulsonquite possibly. and then the UK has one next week :)11:28
qenseThe UK always wants to do things slightly different,11:28
chrisccoulsonheh11:29
faganqense: did you just put Ireland in with the UK?11:29
qensefagan: This is the second week of the final exams for the secondary schools, and they don't have a free day today as well.11:29
fagan;)11:29
qensefagan: No, although sometimes you're more British than you want to admit. :)11:29
faganqense: or maybe they are more Irish than they would like to admit :)11:30
czajkowskiqense: oi oi :p11:30
czajkowskiwe have the June bank holiday, rarely mid month11:30
qenseMaybe I misused the phrase bank holiday.11:31
qenseGoogle Translate for the rescue!11:31
qensenah, sounds like today can be called a bank holiday11:31
czajkowskifagan: try and not miss your exam will you!11:32
faganczajkowski: its taken care of11:32
qensefagan: I'll give a scream at 14.00 CEST in case you'll be here still.11:34
faganqense: my computer will still be on so ill still be here ish11:34
faganbut I just wont be looking at the computer11:34
fagan:)11:35
qensefagan: Good luck with your exams already.11:35
faganqense: thanks this is the last one :D11:35
faganthank god11:35
qenseyay! Salvation11:35
ftahi, could someone please have a look at this bug? https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/58428711:39

chrisccoulsonfta - the metacity issue will be due to the gtk upload last week11:45
faganfta: I already asked about it :)11:46
ftachrisccoulson, i have a lot of issues because of that, incl flash crashing, is there a fix somewhere?11:46
faganbut evo worked11:46
ftafagan, evo is semi-broken, a tenth of the emails i open make it crash11:47
faganfta: are the buttons in evo looking weird too?11:47
faganfta: it seems to be opening emails fine for me11:48
ftafagan, yes, it's https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/58283911:49
ubot2Launchpad bug 582839 in evolution (Ubuntu) ""no junk" icon and buttons too big in 2.30.1.2 (affects: 3) (heat: 18)" [Undecided,Confirmed]11:49
ftachrisccoulson, http://paste.ubuntu.com/438769/11:55
ftachrisccoulson, that's maverick only, so i assume it's the same reason as for metacity11:56
ftarhythmbox is broken too. oh my..12:01
ftalooks like a gstreamer issue12:02
faganfta: in what way is rhythmbox broken12:08
faganits working fine and playing for me12:08
ftafagan, it doesn't play, and if i seek into a song, it freezes. when interrupted, gdb shows http://paste.ubuntu.com/438776/12:15
faganfta: wow thats a complicated looking error. My one plays fine though so I cant confirm the problem12:16
ftaslomo, ^^ is that something you recognize?12:18
chrisccoulsonfta - i thought there was a way to disable csd, which might help some of your issues, but i can't figure out how12:18
chrisccoulsonthe rhythmbox issue looks like a recursive locking issue though12:18
chrisccoulsonand those are quite difficult to debug :(12:19
ftaslomo, btw, thanks for the libvpx updates, i'm auto-syncing/backporting it from the gst ppa to the chromium ppa now.12:19
ftachrisccoulson, csd? what is that?12:20
chrisccoulsonfta - client-side decorations12:21
slomofta: hm?12:21
slomofta: i don't use rhythmbox and never saw that failure12:22
ftaslomo, it's a new regression coming with maverick12:22
ftaone of them ;)12:22
slomofta: which update caused it? :)12:22
slomofta: what type of file are you playing, etc12:23
ftaslomo, i upgraded my lucid desktop to maverick ~36h ago, so it's tough to say which of the 500MB did that12:23
ftaslomo, mp3, flac12:24
slomofta: only audio?12:24
ftaslomo, yes (some id3 too)12:25
slomofta: which gstreamer packages were updated?12:25
ftabut there's no error in the console, it just sits there doing nothing12:25
slomoyes, classic deadlock12:25
fta0.10.29-412:26
faganslomo: but im on maverick and its working fine12:26
ftahttp://paste.ubuntu.com/438789/12:26
faganI havent tried flac though12:26
slomofagan: do you use rhythmbox's crossfade feature?12:26
faganslomo: I dont have it turned on12:27
slomofagan: do it and test again please12:27
slomofta: so the only difference to lucid is gst-plugins-ugly but that doesn't have anything to do with flac12:27
ftafagan, i'm usually seeing less bugs than anyone else, but here, i'm the winner, i got them all, 6 crashers + 5 other regressions in one day12:28
slomofta: and in lucid it worked?12:28
ftaslomo, crossfade: yes, lucid: yes, same conf12:28
fagancross fade on no crash12:28
faganweird12:28
ftafagan, it's not a crash, it's just "not playing"12:29
faganfta: its working here12:29
faganwith all updates installed12:29
ftacould be pulse-audio..12:29
slomofta: good luck then :) was rb updated?12:29
slomofta: no, can't be PA... that's a bug in gstreamer related code somewhere12:29
faganslomo: RB is still the same version as lucid from what I remember12:29
ftaslomo, nope, it's 0.12.8-0ubuntu4 (from lucid-proposed)12:30
slomofta: oh, idea... try killing pulseaudio (pulseaudio -k) and restarting it again (pulseaudio -D)12:31
slomofta: does it work then? :)12:31
=== oubiwann is now known as oubiwann_
ftaslomo, \o/12:33
ftaslomo, how come it helped?12:34
slomofta: ok, pulseaudio bug (or below)... i have a very similar problem, happens most of the time after suspend12:34
slomofor some reason PA blocks sometimes12:35
ftaslomo, i never suspend, it's a desktop12:35

qensekenvandine: re the Mono bindings for the Sound Menu: I'm not sure how much experience you have got with GAPI and such, but if you need any help with generating the bindings: I have  _some_ experience with Mono bindings from my work on bug fixes for AppInd. I'm no expert, but if you need a bit of help, you can always ask me. (I hope I haven't insulted you knowledge with this ;) )15:24
kenvandineqense, i might need it :)15:24
kenvandinei have messed with it a bit in the past15:25
kenvandinebut don't know much about handling things that need custom tweaks15:25

rickspencer3tremolux, https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-maverick-buy-something15:27
rickspencer3tremolux, *all* the work items are targeted for A2 now, which I think is wrong'15:27
rickspencer3could you please sort out the ones that are in scope for A2?15:27
tremoluxrickspencer3: yep15:27
kenvandineqense, thx!15:28

rickspencer3tremolux, ack15:32
tremoluxrickspencer3: cool  :)15:32
tremoluxrickspencer3: ok, I made an a2 cut at https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-maverick-buy-something15:47
tremoluxrickspencer3: looks like we need to change the Series Goal to "maverick" and Milestone Target to "none"15:47
tremoluxrickspencer3: (won't let me change those)15:47
rickspencer3tremolux, weird, when I said to propose for a series, it put it in Lucid :/15:48
rickspencer3tremolux, should the milestone target not be A2, since we are targetting work items there?15:48
tremoluxrickspencer3: oh, I don't know I guess; I was basing that statement on my other blueprints (which are at None)15:48
rickspencer3ok, I'll look them all over later and see how it's working15:49
* desrt wins the game15:50
desrt(first/only person forgetting to attach the expenses when sending expenses to marianna)15:51
rickspencer3tremolux, so our new goal is to get together at the distro sprint and make "Buy Something" work end to end15:52
tremoluxrickspencer3: yeah, I don't *think* that plays into the burndown charts so it's prolly fine15:52
tremoluxrickspencer3: cool  :)15:53
rickspencer3tremolux, don't know if the "for the sprint" goal changes your approach to which work items to do when15:53
tremoluxrickspencer3: yeah, it sure seems like we will want to put everything for alpha-215:55
tremoluxrickspencer3: except for optimization-type things15:55
rickspencer3tremolux, well, we'll all be together at the end of A315:55
rickspencer3so maybe some integration stuff might go in A3?15:55

bratschefta: I'll make an updated patch this week to expose a killswitch for that feature.  Then it should be easier to determine.16:15
pittiRiddell: ah, you mean add a dependency, not add a new package; that sounds better, if there's a clear justification; NB that this will land on Kubuntu 10.04.1, so you'll need some extra space?16:16
pittifta: argh, silly me; enabling now16:16
pittifta: erm, *phew*, no, it's running16:17

ftabratsche, dropping debian/patches/064_client_side_decoration.patch from gtk fixes both issues (metacity and flash in chromium)17:29
bratschefta: Yeah, but we don't want to drop that.. we want to fix it. :)17:35
ftabratsche, sure, but it means the culprit has been cornered and both bugs could be merged (and probably others)17:37
bratschefta: The metacity one is probably easy to fix.  The Chromium one probably less easy.17:38
bratschefta: Do you have time to test something with metacity?17:40
ftabratsche, yes17:40
bratschefta: Could you try patching it and change src/ui/ui.c so that it does gdk_screen_get_system_colormap() instead of gdk_screen_get_default_colormap()?17:41

While I know that we can copy the hidden profiles for Thunderbird and Firefox to back them up for use in 10.04, is this wise since the versions used in 9.10 differ from that used with 10.04?19:08
