faganHey guys im getting this error when I open totem in maverick http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/438744/11:08
faganany ideas what the problem is?11:08
jcristauThis probably reflects a bug in the program11:09
faganjcristau: it says that but totem hasnt been updated in maverick yet11:09
faganits still running the version in lucid 11:10
faganah its a client side thing11:12
RAOFI thought bratche had fixed that?  Clearly not.11:31
RAOFIt's ARGB windows fallout.  GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 totem should work.11:31
faganRAOF: is there a bug report I can update 11:31
faganI remember there was a master bug report for lucid 11:31
RAOFNot that I remember offhand; it should be pretty easy to find, though.  It's on the gtk package.11:32
faganill go look for it after college 11:32
jgRAOF: bryceh says you might help me with testing this bug that has bit eDP displays: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2807014:04
blue_annain Lucid, Compose sequences can only consist of two characters, and may only output one character. This makes them exactly equivalent to dead keys. but many useful example ~/.XCompose files online make use of 3 combining characters (in vitro w/ 2) or output multiple keys (digraphs)15:20
jcristauthat's not true.15:25
blue_annajcristau: what do you mean? I have a .XCompose file .. its not working for me15:29
blue_annajcristau: but like compose+t+m for ™ .. that does work15:29
blue_annain the same file15:29
jcristaui mean that compose sequences can output arbitrary strings, and have as many keys as you want.15:32
blue_annajcristau: I tried setting <Multi_key> <c> <h> to "ch" and it doesnt work. that same compose sequence will work for a single character like "*" asterisk .. I even tried it with dual fields like "ch" "ch" in case both fields were required15:33
blue_annajcristau: what am I doing wrong? I'd love to have that working :)15:33
jcristauthere's already a sequence for compose c h15:34
blue_annayeah, but I tried it for c+q too15:35
blue_annain case it was that15:35
blue_annajcristau: btw, where is compose c+q defined? it is not in /usr/share/X11/locale/iso8859-1/Compose15:35
blue_anna** I mean c+h15:35
blue_annaoo lol, unbelievable, the es_EC.utf-8 doesn't map to one of the latin iso blocks, it maps to en_US.utf8 (*boggle*)15:45
blue_annawell now I know where compose c+h and compose c+c come from15:46
jcristauwhy the hell would an utf8 locale map to the latin1 file..15:48
blue_annaapparently if you define a .XCompose it does *not* load in place of the system compose file like normal, in ubuntu. (so there's no need for an "include" line at the front of .XCompose files in ubuntu)15:48
blue_annajcristau: well, its the same as the keymap that way15:48
blue_annasymbols/es15:48
blue_annajcristau: I admit, it would be *besT* to have an es_EC.UTF-8  and one fo rall the others, but that's a lot of files15:49
blue_annajcristau: where would I suggest a bug fix for that? the compose.dir file even has a comment in it saying that the utf8 stuff is broken15:52
jcristaui don't know what bug you're talking about15:54
blue_annain /usr/share/X11/locale/compose.dir , the global compose directory, it says "Note: The UTF-8 locales don't work correctly yet. Work in progress."15:57
blue_annathe reason is because right now if you are using utf-8, generally you are asked to use the en_US.UTF-8 locale settings, which are inappropraite for the vast majority of /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/* files15:58
blue_annajcristau: maybe its an incomplete feature instead of a bug, who would I talk to about how to fix it a good chunk of that? I've got a simple fix for the better part of all european locales15:59
blue_annajcristau: not that this solves my issue with digraphs not working for .XCompose, but it solves the issue I found documented in the distribution files16:01
blue_annain Lucid, at least in gnome apps Compose sequences can only consist of two characters, and may only output one character. This makes them exactly equivalent to dead keys. but many useful example ~/.XCompose files online make use of 3 combining characters (in vitro w/ 2) or output multiple keys (digraphs)16:56
blue_annaI just found out you can get multiple characters in qt though ! :)16:56
blue_anna<Multi_key> <b> <t> <w> : "by the way" -- works everywhere but in gnome/gtk. but other composes I set in .XCompose do work. what's going ?17:38
Bernardohi17:57
blue_annahi Bernardo17:59
blue_annasup?17:59
Bernardostill fighting psb drivers... 18:00
blue_annathat was before I came here18:01
blue_annaI'm still fighting gtk and xorg18:01
blue_anna:P18:01
blue_annasadly, I want to get along with them .. why can't we all just get along?! :)18:01
blue_anna<Multi_key> <b> <t> <w> : "by the way" -- works everywhere but in gnome/gtk. but other composes I set in .XCompose do work. what's going on?18:04
tjaaltonthere is a bug about that somewhere18:05
tjaaltongtk bug18:05
blue_annatjaalton:  jesus is there? I saw the one aobut the xcompose file being ignored, but it's not that. the file is read but anything bigger than a dead key doesnt18:06
blue_annaor bigger than 1 character of output18:06
tjaaltonat least it sounds familiar, i'll try to find it when i get home18:07
blue_annathanks - yea this is hard to fid just searching for relavant terms like "gtk bug xcompose" or im-module ..18:09
tjaaltondid you say it used to work?18:19
BernardoI only wish the moblin/meego developers had done the sensible thing and put the driver as a separate module and not a huge kernel patch18:20
blue_annatjaalton: no. its that it works everywhere -- EXCEPT gtk/gnome18:21
Bernardoat least now they are integrating with the Imagination Technologies ddk, so there is a hope that we'll have some decent openGL support18:21
tjaaltonblue_anna: ok, then it should fit the bug aiui18:32
blue_annatjaalton: alright -- wish I could find that bug myself -- I'm running searches like the wind here, andI can't find it18:35
Bernardohi lucazade18:48
lucazadehi!18:48
BernardoMaybe we should start thinking on having a psb optimized kernel, adding the meego driver patch... :)18:50
lucazadesounds good.. 18:50
lucazadeis there a public changelog or a list of bugs fixed with this patch?18:51
Bernardono18:53

blue_annathe gtk people tell me that xim is not the preferred im because it is buggy. I am getting one of those bugs with my particular set up. what is the suggested lucid alternative to xim for custom compose keys ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComposeKey -- this says xim but like I said that's known not to work19:36
tjaaltonblue_anna: ibus19:40
tjaaltonand the bug i was referring to was different, and seems fixed (mod4 couldn't be used for shortcuts)19:40
tjaaltonso i didn't understand the problem the first time ;)19:41
blue_annatjaalton: there's a ton of them, I was just at gnome.bugzilla19:41
blue_annaif you don't limit the search to gtk+ and jsut search xim and xcompose, there are hundreds -- maybe thousands -- I dont know how they do it on volunteer manpower at all ;)19:42
tjaaltonwell there are >3000 bugs against the ubuntu X packages, 10000 against the kernel and almost 90000 in total (on ubuntu). I don't know if we are any better ;)19:48
blue_annatjaalton: do you know how to get Xcompose working with ibus? there are some unanswered posts on ubuntuforums about that but no solutions19:49
tjaaltonblue_anna: NO19:49
tjaaltonsory19:49
tjaalton(caps)19:49
tjaalton+r19:49
tjaalton:)19:49
blue_annanps19:49
tjaalton20:00
tjaaltonooh, i found it :)20:00
tjaaltonthat character, that is20:00
blue_annatjaalton: what character?20:03
tjaaltonblue_anna: …20:05
tjaaltonand 'multi minus minus minus' works here20:05
tjaalton20:05
tjaaltonso maybe it's just that your .XCompose is not read?20:06
blue_annano well, I thought of that.20:06
blue_annabut in .Xcompose I created regular style compose keys and they do work: compose+t+m = ™20:07
blue_anna** ~/.XCompose20:07
bjsniderSarvatt, did that powermizer tweak work?20:07
tjaaltonblue_anna: ok20:09
blue_annatjaalton: also in my system, those do work -- that's neat. compose minus minus minus works, didnt even know it had 3-key versions defined.20:09
blue_annathat doesn't work in qt apps20:09
blue_annabut it does work in xterm .. jeez, why does every possible library have different behavior :S20:10
blue_annaif I use ibus tables to emulate compose keys I will have to use only the ibus locale for that table ...20:11
Bernardolucazade: I'm trying to build the xorg driver now, to see if it will work with our module20:51
lucazadeBernardo: great.. hope you get it working!20:54
lucazadeis it difficult to build?20:55
Bernardodependencies... They have a new lib (libwsbm), which needs some more headers we don't have in libdrm-poulsbo20:57
BernardoThe interesting part in the moblin kernel driver is that they implemented kms20:57
Bernardoso the psb_drv.h has a lot of kms related stuff20:58
lucazadenice...20:58
lucazadethe pvr module?20:58
Bernardono, the moblin one, psb20:58
lucazadeok right20:58
lucazadetoo much stuff :)20:59
Bernardothe meego version is the one they added the pvr module and made the psb use a lot of the pvr headers20:59
Bernardoyes, too much. They should have kept the module out of tree, like in mandriva or ubuntu20:59
lucazadei should learn by doing.. so i've to try21:00
BernardoI used to build a lpia kernel two years ago, when I had a aspire one, before the 1101HA21:05
BernardoThe tough part was getting the build structure right, but now there are a couple of walkthroughs out there in the web21:07
lucazadei can imagine how hard was21:08
lucazadeif you have some hints on how to get a working build env, tell me21:10
lucazadei'll try in a vm21:11
lucazadebrb21:14
blue_annadoes anyone here understand /usr/share/X11/xkb well enough to describe how to set up a keyboard layout with two ground of 4 levels instead of the default one grounp of 4 levels?21:28
blue_anna* two groups21:29
lucazade1Bernardo i've to go21:39
lucazade1see you soon21:39
