rickspencer3RAOF, TheMuso, robert_ancell: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Meeting/2010-06-0100:04
rickspencer3go ahead and read it over00:04
* TheMuso reads the wookie... um I mean wiki page. :)00:05
rickspencer3and robert_ancell in case you forgot your activity report, not would be a good time00:05
* TheMuso can't stop laughing.00:05
rickspencer3heh00:05
TheMusonot much there.00:06
rickspencer3TheMuso, right, it was a 20 minute meeting00:06
* TheMuso is done00:07
rickspencer3RAOF, robert_ancell ?00:08
robert_ancelldone00:08
RAOFDone.00:08
RAOFMy connectivity seems less than wonderful.  Sorry if I lag behind.00:09
robert_ancellRAOF, yeah, I'm getting stalled connections too00:10
rickspencer3ok, so real quick from the meeting00:10
rickspencer3key thing is that we need to start DONEing or POSTPONEDing work items00:10
rickspencer3for A200:10
rickspencer3if you have some done, please mark them as such00:11
rickspencer3questions?00:11
TheMusoNo00:11
RAOFNone.00:11
* rickspencer3 whip cracking noises00:11
rickspencer3ok, there was one thing not on the agenda that I thought would be useful to bring up here00:11
rickspencer3TheMuso, so did I read that dchen has really and truly stopped maintain audio for Ubuntu?00:12
TheMusorickspencer3: His involvement will decrease once this extra work that he is doing starts. Don't know any more than that myself.00:12
rickspencer3TheMuso, so we need to plan to fill that gap, right?00:13
TheMusorickspencer3: Right, and such a plan was started at UDS.00:13
rickspencer3I see00:13
rickspencer3is there a link or such?00:13
rickspencer3do you have the resources that you need?00:14
rickspencer3etc...00:14
TheMusorickspencer3: In the form of Daniel having a session with a few people including myself to do a brain dump of common things that need to be done in terms of getting hda hardware to work.00:14
rickspencer3TheMuso, and are you planning to do that work?00:14
TheMusorickspencer3: resources wise, I really can't say at this point, depends on how many people from the above referred session end up jumping abord to help. I have received one request already to help out, which is good00:14
TheMusorickspencer3: Where I can, and feel comfortable doing so, yes.00:15
rickspencer3hmmm00:15
rickspencer3I'd feel better if I knew that there was one person on point to make sure that audio keeps getting better00:15
TheMusoUserspace wise, I am committed to doing that. Kernel wise, not sure.00:16
rickspencer3yeah00:17
rickspencer3ok, that makes sense00:17
rickspencer3I'll ask the kernel team who is on point there00:17
rickspencer3RAOF, TheMuso, robert_ancell any other business?00:17
TheMusoNope.00:17
TheMusorickspencer3: Brad Figg has been doing audio related stuff from the kernel team00:17
RAOFNo other business here.00:18
robert_ancellno00:18
rickspencer3TheMuso, ack on bjf, but I'm not sure if he's still on point for desktop in 10.1000:18
TheMusorickspencer3: Gotcha.00:18
* rickspencer3 taps gavel00:19
rickspencer3robert_ancell, thought you might be interested that jono is starting to pull together content for developer.ubuntu.com00:19
rickspencer3https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeveloperStackTour00:19
bjfrickspencer3, TheMuso, still on point, however, i'm also charged with doing SRU work this cycle00:19
rickspencer3bjf, ack00:20
TheMusobjf: Ok00:20
robert_ancellrickspencer3, oh, cool.00:20
rickspencer3I think jono asked for a drupal instance at developer.ubuntu.com00:21
rickspencer3doesn't seem to be there yet00:21
jonorickspencer3, it will be Wordpress00:21

robert_ancellbratsche, you awake?00:23
bratscherobert_ancell, yeah00:31
robert_ancellbug 584287, happy to apply and take it upstream but why is the patch correct?00:33
ubot2Launchpad bug 584287 in metacity (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "Unexpected X error (BadDrawable) causing metacity to abort in maverick (affects: 8) (dups: 1) (heat: 64)" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/58428700:33
robert_ancellbratsche, ^00:33
bratscherobert_ancell: It's expecting an RGB colormap, and gdk_screen_get_default_colormap() isn't guaranteed to return that.  It should use get_rgb_colormap() or get_system_colormap().00:34
robert_ancellbratsche, ok, thanks00:34
robert_ancellthe documentation on what get_system and get_default does is very basic00:35
bratscherobert_ancell: This will not have any negative effect even without the rgba/csd patches applied to gtk+.00:35
bratscherobert_ancell: Yeah.. gtk+ right now does return an rgb colormap normally with get_default_colormap(), although it's possible to change that at runtime.  But with the csd/rgba patch I'm pushing into gtk+ it will return an rgba colormap by default.00:36
robert_ancellbratsche, so what is the difference between get_rgb and get_system?  Does get_rgb convert the system colormap if it is not in rgb?00:36
bratscherobert_ancell: To be honest, I'm not sure of the practical difference between them.  Maybe we should use get_rgb_colormap().. get_system_colormap() will return whatever Xorg is configured to.00:37
bratscheTo change the colormap to rgba by default we don't want to do this at the Xorg level though (which would then require no change in gtk+) because some apps probably erroneously try to draw black with 000.00:39
bratscheThat's the reason for modifying it from the toolkit level.00:39
bratscherobert_ancell: Actually, I just confirmed in the gtk+ patch.. you should use gdk_screen_get_system_colormap() and not get_rgb_colormap().00:41
bratscheThat's what gtk+ was setting the default colormap to before.00:41
bratscherobert_ancell: And also, thanks very much for taking care of this!00:42

RAOFOwch.  Shotwell really chews through memory when importing.00:47
LaserJockhmm, I thought somebody (rickspencer maybe) was saying that it hardly used any01:19
RAOFWell, it was consuming 1.2GiB physical here and I wanted my system back.01:21
LaserJockshesh, that's a lot01:22
lifelessRAOF: wheee01:22
RAOFYeah.01:22
rickspencer3LaserJock, I have no idea how much it uses when importing01:22
RAOFOn the plus side, it now has minimal support for RAW formats.01:23
rickspencer3sounds like basically "whatever you've got"01:23
rickspencer3RAOF, is it worth logging a bug on that?01:23
RAOFYes.01:23
RAOFAt least, as long as it's reproducible.  I'll give it another whirl.01:24

robert_ancellRAOF, bug 510426 - do you have any idea which binary package the Everything and GIMarshallingTests modules should go?  I added them to the glib packages, after reading your bug report don't know if they should go into the -dev package04:26
ubot2Launchpad bug 510426 in gobject-introspection (Debian) (and 1 other project) "Everything-1.0.typelib not built in libgirepository1.0-dev (affects: 1) (heat: 4)" [Unknown,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/51042604:26
robert_ancellTheMuso, can you sponsor metacity for me?04:28
TheMusorobert_ancell: Sure. Does it have a fix that we need for alpha 1?04:28
robert_ancellTheMuso, I think so, it's a crasher due to interaction with CSD, and the patch is very simple (and already been tested)04:29
TheMusoah ok.04:29
TheMusowill go ahead and take care of it.04:29
robert_ancellit's in bzr04:30
TheMusoyep gotcha04:30
TheMusorobert_ancell: uploaded04:48
robert_ancellTheMuso, thanks04:51
robert_ancellbratsche, ^^04:51
RAOFrobert_ancell: I'd probably stick it in the -dev package, as per patch on the linked Debian bug.  Everything is only used in testsuites AFAICT, so -dev makes sense there.  Less certain about GIMarshallingTests, but the same logic probably applies.05:16
robert_ancellRAOF, there is a versioning issue putting libraries in -dev though05:17
RAOFI don't quite see how - if they're only used in testsuites, then they're basically only really used at build time, and we don't version the -dev package.05:18
robert_ancellRAOF, yeah, I guess we need to know if they're only used for testsuites (probably).  My gut feel is they'll disappear once GI stabilises05:20
RAOFWell, they're obviously not used for anything but testsuites in the archive at the moment :)05:21
robert_ancellpygi is the only thing I know of :) but that's not in the archive yet05:22

BalSakhi guys. does anyone know how to address ubuntu's frequent lock-up's?05:47
ccheneybzr merge is not my friend, heh05:47
ccheneyBalSak: do a memory test05:48
BalSak...not only FireFox (although it happens most frequently in FF, since it's the single app I use the most)05:48
ccheneyBalSak: if its frequently hanging and not coming back its probably hardware05:48
BalSakccheney: memtest @ boot? will do, but it happens on many of my systems05:48
ccheneyBalSak: oh hmm05:49
BalSak ccheney: it's only single apps that hang (& grey out), and then come back after a stretch. quite random05:49

didrocksgood morning08:12
didrocksRAOF: hey, my computer is a world of pain this morning, is there a way to install the nvidia blob driver on maverick?08:13
RAOFdidrocks: The one from jockey worked last time I checked.08:14
pittibonjour didrocks08:14
didrocksRAOF: wasn't the case two weeks ago. I'm trying it now (current?)08:15
didrocksGuten Morgen pitti08:16
didrockssweet, jockey list me anything anymore (but well, as I had to install the nvidia driver manually, can be related)08:16
RAOFOh!  I know what your problem is going to be - metacity has decided to die, right?08:17
didrocksRAOF: right, no more metacity because of csd/rgba I guess (and no compiz/mutter as no more GL with my last update).08:18
didrocksjust a tty with weechat ;)08:20
didrocksbut I don't see how this can influence jockey-gtk to not show the nvidia driver08:20
pittididrocks: is that a fresh install?08:20
pittididrocks: also, is nvidia-current-modaliases installed?08:20
didrockspitti: definitively not a fresh install at all :)08:22
didrockspitti: let me check08:23
didrockspitti: not installed, let me try this08:24
pittididrocks: hm, it's installed by default08:24
seb128hello didrocks pitti08:25
robert_ancelldidrocks, RAOF: I just uploaded a fix for metacity08:25
didrockspitti: I guess a dist-upgrade can have broken it, but as I wasn't able to launch08:25
didrockss/launch/use the nvidia integrated driver 2 weeks before, can be related to that08:25
didrockssalut seb12808:26
didrocksrobert_ancell: sweet! I'll try as soon as I get it08:26
pittibonjour seb12808:28

seb128pitti, you decided that sleep was overrated it seems? ;-)08:28
pittiah, I'm getting used to 6 AM :)08:29
robert_ancellseb128, do you have any thoughts on gobject-introspection? (see email)08:29
seb128robert_ancell, let me check emails08:29
didrocksrobert_ancell: your metacity fix works, thanks :)08:32
robert_ancelldidrocks, i just pushed the patch :)08:32
seb128robert_ancell, the changes you did are fine with me for upload08:33
didrockspitti: well, for jockey-gtk, still listing anything, but again, my install is crap from karmic. So, I think it's a local issue and will reinstall with the alpha1 image this week-end08:33
pittididrocks: we just got fresh alpha-1 desktop images, feel free to use those :)08:33
didrockspitti: ok, will do it once the "morning tasks" are done :)08:34
seb128robert_ancell, did you get pygi working with those?08:34
RAOFfor my part, it seems like the nvidia-current drivers work fine.08:34
robert_ancellseb128, RAOF suggested they should  be in -dev (and that is what the Debian bug is proposing)08:34
seb128robert_ancell, do we need pygobject rebuilt with it?08:34
seb128robert_ancell, ok, can do that08:34
robert_ancellseb128, only if we want pygobject to use pygi as a backend (I believe)08:34
seb128pitti, yes I can confirm the hang is due to udisks, see stacktrace on the bug report08:34
pittiseb128: ah, thanks08:35
robert_ancellI got a PyGI GTK+ demo app working, doesn't need the pygobject recompile08:35
seb128oh, nice08:35
seb128is there good documentation?08:35
didrocksRAOF: can be more than possible, but as I had to install during the lucid dev cycle (before alpha3 I guess) and at the beginning of this cycle manually the nvidia one, I don't trust at all my setup :)08:35
robert_ancellseb128, nope, I just guessed and used what I knew from the C API.  I'm going to blog a little demo to get people started when it hits maverick08:35
seb128ok08:36
seb128you consider it ready for sponsoring?08:36
seb128could you push to a non junk location if that's the case?08:36

rickspencer3interesting15:28
rickspencer3kenvandine, I think I'll just start with getting a public feed from identi.ca using urllib2, parse that with beautifulsoup, and then stuff it into a DictionaryGrid15:29

vishAmaranth: that is bug 498203 , chrisccoulson remember this one? found it early in lucid17:26
ubot2Launchpad bug 498203 in gnome-session (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "Session starts without any window manager , if saved session is broken (affects: 6) (heat: 28)" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/49820317:26
chrisccoulsonit should only be broken for people using session saving though, and that didn't even work in hardy IIRC17:26
chrisccoulsonvish - yeah, that's the one17:26
Amaranthchrisccoulson: I thought the gnome-session that broke it was in intrepid17:27
Amaranths/broke it/dropped it as a useless feature without user input/17:27
Amaranth:D17:27
chrisccoulsonAmaranth - yeah, that's right actually. but the session management worked quite differently in hardy, i wouldn't expect that problem to break hardy -> lucid upgrades17:28
Amaranthchrisccoulson: That depends, does the new gnome-session have code to read from ~/.gnome2/session?17:29
chrisccoulsonAmaranth - it doesn't. and it doesn't have the concept of X-GNOME-Provides either IIRC, which is what breaks it17:30
Amaranthah17:30
vuntzchrisccoulson: huh? The new gnome-session definitely knows about X-GNOME-Provides17:30
chrisccoulsonoh, maybe it does17:30
chrisccoulsonvuntz - i'm talking about the old one ;)17:30
bjfon maverick (an upgrade from lucid) I just tried to "sudo apt-get install mplayer" and got: "mplayer: Depends: libdirectfb-1.2-0 but it is not going to be installed"17:31
bjfwhat's the right thing to do here?17:31
vuntzchrisccoulson: hrm, okay, I guess I should read more carefully the discussion, then ;-)17:31
chrisccoulsonvuntz - some users have a saved session which doesn't work after upgrading, because compiz binary got renamed17:31
chrisccoulsonso the desktop file with X-GNOME-Provides=windowmanager in the saved session doesn't actually work17:32
Amarantharg17:32
chrisccoulsonand users end up without a window manager17:32
vuntzchrisccoulson: bug in gnome-session17:32
AmaranthYou guys figured out this bug like 2 weeks after I made the change that got rid of compiz.real17:32
AmaranthAnd I didn't hear about it until like a month before release and only recently figured it out17:32
chrisccoulsonvuntz - yeah, i think i might have mentioned it to you already17:32
chrisccoulsoni would work on a patch, but i don't really work on gnome stuff atm ;)17:32
vuntzI had a patch to rework the provides stuff17:33
vuntzit's a bit broken for another reason (forgot which reason, but well...)17:33
