| robert_ancell | TheMuso, can you sponsor libgweather from bzr? | 01:03 |
|---|---|---|
| TheMuso | robert_ancell: sure thing | 01:04 |
| TheMuso | robert_ancell: I don't seem to have /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/python-autotools.mk on my system, and installing libgweather's build dependencies doesn't grab it either. Do you know what package its from? | 01:16 |
| robert_ancell | TheMuso, Mavericks cdbs | 01:22 |
| TheMuso | oh ok | 01:23 |
| robert_ancell | makes the debian packages _so much better_ but yeah, can't build them on Lucid | 01:23 |
| * TheMuso uses a chroot then. | 01:23 | |
| robert_ancell | RAOF, bryceh: How fast can you get an xserver to start on boot? | 01:34 |
| RAOF | robert_ancell: You mean - what service dependencies does the xserver have? | 01:35 |
| bryceh | robert_ancell, depends on hardware | 01:36 |
| robert_ancell | both dependencies and what the state is now - i.e. is lucid booting x as fast as it can? | 01:36 |
| bryceh | robert_ancell, if you mean "is there anything we can change in xserver to make the xserver portion of the boot faster", I think we pretty much squeezed everything out of it we knew to do | 01:37 |
| bryceh | robert_ancell, however if you mean "Are there other things in the boot process that could get us to a working X session faster"... maybe, I'm not sure there though. | 01:38 |
| RAOF | You could start X sooner in the boot if you didn't have to start it from gdm. I'm not sure how useful that would be, though. | 01:38 |
| robert_ancell | bryceh, so how long does it take to start on a cut down system, e.g. a dell mini | 01:38 |
| robert_ancell | I'm asking because I've been working on a new display manager which is as fast as possible. I was wondering how fast you could get X running so then you could run an X app as the boot splash | 01:39 |
| bryceh | robert_ancell, xserver itself takes a second or two on a dell mini with ssd (exact time varies boot to boot, but seb128 and scott had some detailed numbers as proof) | 01:39 |
| bryceh | robert_ancell, if you use xdm and boot into a non-gnome X session using the -vesa driver, you can get things up and running in about a second | 01:39 |
| bryceh | maybe less | 01:40 |
| robert_ancell | nice, that would be fast enough. run a static image on the fb before that | 01:40 |
| bryceh | robert_ancell, also there is a timing patch floating around for xserver (check the debian/patches/ dir, I think it may be just commented out) | 01:41 |
| bryceh | robert_ancell, if you are able to use fbdev, that may give equivalent performance as vesa | 01:41 |
| robert_ancell | I'd want to use the same drivers as the desktop would run on, so you don't have to reload anything later in the boot | 01:42 |
| bryceh | ah gotcha | 01:42 |
| bryceh | ok, was going to mention some other "well if you can lock down the hardware, then you can drop..." | 01:43 |
| RAOF | bryceh, robert_ancell: The upstream server now timestamps its logs, as of 1.8. | 01:43 |
| bryceh | RAOF, know if that patch is backported to lucid? (and if it's better than the one we were toying with last release?) | 01:44 |
| RAOF | I certainly haven't backported it to Lucid. I'm not sure if it's been backported to 1.7 | 01:44 |
| bryceh | mm | 01:45 |
| bryceh | anyway, I had gone through the timing data myself and didn't spot any obvious optimizations we could do, so might not be worth the trouble, but patches are available if xserver boot seems slow | 01:46 |
| bryceh | robert_ancell, these days a lot of the goopy stuff amenable to optimization (like edid probing) is done in the kernel side via kms | 01:47 |
| robert_ancell | ok | 01:47 |
| bryceh | edid caching is a big win, and that's a kernel thingee | 01:48 |
| Sarvatt | no we can squeeze at least another 400ms out of the xserver startup time by dropping the pci vendor and card name lookup | 01:48 |
| bryceh | it's probably worth testing to be sure it's functioning properly | 01:48 |
| bryceh | Sarvatt, well that's what I was going to mention when I said "if you can lock down the hardware"... ;-) | 01:48 |
| Sarvatt | which will probably be done in 1.9 | 01:48 |
| RAOF | Sarvatt: We'll pick up those patches for free in 1.9 | 01:48 |
| robert_ancell | ooh, that sounds nice | 01:49 |
| bryceh | Sarvatt, robert_ancell: but that depends a lot on if you are going to always know ahead of time what the hw is | 01:49 |
| Sarvatt | its parses the huge pci id list just for mapping the vendor/device name at the very start, the driver prints its own identifying message so its not really useful | 01:49 |
| bryceh | Sarvatt, can you link robert_ancell the patch for that? | 01:50 |
| RAOF | bryceh: No, this is basically just for printing the vendor ID (which most of the DDXs do anyway, in a better way) in Xorg.0.log. | 01:50 |
| Sarvatt | just the one line - [ 6357.749] (--) PCI:*(0:1:0:0) 1002:94c3:174b:e370 ATI Technologies Inc RV610 video device [Radeon HD 2400 PRO] rev 0, Mem @ 0xd0000000$ | 01:50 |

| TheMuso | robert_ancell: uploaded | 01:55 |
| Sarvatt | it's about 400ms for the lookup here on my netbook, about 150ms on a faster core 2 | 01:56 |
| TheMuso | robert_ancell: What is this display manager you are working on? | 01:57 |
| robert_ancell | TheMuso, lp:lightdm | 02:01 |
| TheMuso | ah ok | 02:01 |
| robert_ancell | it's pre-alpha at the momeny | 02:01 |
| robert_ancell | moment | 02:02 |
| TheMuso | ok | 02:05 |
| RAOF | Would anyone like to sponsor a mesa upload? http://cooperteam.net/Packages/mesa_7.8.1-3ubuntu1_source.changes and http://cooperteam.net/Packages/mesa_7.8.1-3ubuntu1.dsc . I'm going to have some lunch, so if anyone wants to sponsor it I'll be back at about the time your build has finished :) | 03:29 |
| TheMuso | RAOF: will take a look. | 03:38 |
| RAOF | Ta. | 03:38 |
| Sarvatt | RAOF: should do libdrm first? | 04:15 |
| RAOF | Sarvatt: Doh! Of course! | 04:27 |
| RAOF | Stupid local packages. | 04:27 |
| RAOF | That said, mesa builds fine against 2.4.20 | 04:28 |
| TheMuso | RAOF: should I wait? | 04:30 |
| RAOF | Let me double check. I _think_ it doesn't matter. | 04:30 |
| TheMuso | RAOF: ok | 04:31 |
| RAOF | TheMuso: You can proceed. Mesa builds fine against 2.4.20, and doesn't use any symbols from 2.4.21 as determined by the dpkg dependencies. | 04:32 |
| TheMuso | RAOF: ok | 04:33 |
| Sarvatt | the mesa change is insanely huge to review TheMuso, I'm sorry and thanks for doing it :) | 04:33 |
| TheMuso | Sarvatt: np | 04:33 |
| RAOF | We'll want the new libdrm for a new -intel DDX, but that can wait and doesn't need to block mesa. | 04:34 |
| Sarvatt | speaking of which i should update that in debian | 04:34 |

| robert_ancell | TheMuso, thanks | 06:10 |
| didrocks | good morning | 08:03 |
| didrocks | RAOF: hey, did you see my question about nvidia? | 08:03 |
| RAOF | didrocks: Good morning. I did not see your question, no. | 08:04 |
| RAOF | Would you like to fix it by sponsoring a rebuild of nvidia-graphics-drivers? :) | 08:04 |
| TheMuso | lol | 08:05 |
| pitti | Good morning | 08:05 |
| didrocks | RAOF: that maybe the cause of that, right: http://paste.ubuntu.com/449524/ ? | 08:05 |
| RAOF | didrocks: Yes, exatly. | 08:06 |
| didrocks | RAOF: if you have something to be sponsored, I will be pleased to do so :) | 08:07 |

| didrocks | RAOF: sweet :) | 08:08 |
| * TheMuso worked on the 185 variant at some point in the past, the packaging is interesting. I refer more so to now NVIDIA package the drivers than the Ubuntu/Debian/dkms packaging. | 08:11 | |

| robert_ancell | didrocks, hey, good | 08:19 |
| pitti | hey robert_ancell, good morning didrocks | 08:21 |
| RAOF | Ok. I'm off to the hardware store to buy some lights for the electricians to put in tomorrow. I think seb's looking for me; I'll be back on later this evening. | 08:21 |
| didrocks | Guten Morgen pitti, how are you? | 08:21 |
| pitti | splendid, thanks | 08:21 |
| seb128 | hey there | 08:26 |
| didrocks | salut seb128, ça va ? | 08:27 |
| Sarvatt | fta: your script rocks, thank you! http://sarvatt.com/xorg-edgers/ | 08:27 |
| seb128 | lut didrocks, nickel, et toi ? | 08:27 |
| didrocks | seb128: ça va bien, merci :) | 08:28 |
| seb128 | so mclasen started trolling as well | 08:28 |
| seb128 | robert_ancell, hey | 08:29 |
| robert_ancell | seb128, morning | 08:30 |
| seb128 | robert_ancell, how are you today? | 08:30 |
| robert_ancell | busy :) | 08:30 |
| seb128 | robert_ancell, to reply to your email, new poppler depends on cairo 1.9 | 08:30 |
| seb128 | do you think we should update cairo? | 08:30 |
| seb128 | I had that discussion with upstream yesterday | 08:30 |
| pitti | didrocks, seb128: are bug 528557 and bug 229187 fixed in maverick? I can't copy the lucid-proposed | 08:31 |
| seb128 | they plan their next stable in august | 08:31 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 528557 in evolution (Ubuntu Maverick) (and 3 other projects) "cannot turn on alarm for meeting received via email (affects: 4) (heat: 28)" [Low,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/528557 | 08:31 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 229187 in evolution-data-server (Ubuntu Lucid) (and 2 other projects) "Evolution mailing list does not render accents correctly (affects: 3) (heat: 22)" [Low,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/229187 | 08:31 |
| seb128 | but they did plan it in january before | 08:31 |
| robert_ancell | I would say yes, as long as they don't plan anything crazy | 08:31 |
| seb128 | so I don't really trust them for their schedule | 08:31 |
| seb128 | other distro had to go back to cairo 1.8 previous cycles | 08:31 |
| didrocks | pitti: it's in trunk, we still didn't upload the new version there, but in any case, I'll keep an eye on them | 08:32 |
| robert_ancell | seb128, hmm, annoying | 08:32 |
| Sarvatt | cairo 1.10 is a myth! :) | 08:33 |
| seb128 | robert_ancell, upstream would like us to get the new cairo in the xorg-edger ppa for testing | 08:34 |
| seb128 | robert_ancell, if you are interested to get that happening ;-) | 08:34 |
| robert_ancell | seb128, If there's no specific reason for upgrading, and a risk of it not being ready we should hold back | 08:34 |
| robert_ancell | I'm willing to do the packaging | 08:35 |
| seb128 | it's in debian experimental | 08:35 |
| seb128 | so it's basically merging our lcd filter change | 08:35 |
| seb128 | I think getting it in the xorg-edget ppa would be a nice start | 08:35 |
| seb128 | it would be there for testing with other xorg edge versions | 08:35 |
| robert_ancell | I'll put it on the low priority list, and have a look if everything else is working | 08:36 |
| Sarvatt | is it? i'll put it in the ppa then, i've been building it seperately for over a year now | 08:36 |
| seb128 | robert_ancell, do you read d-d-l? | 08:36 |
| seb128 | Sarvatt, that would be nice, thanks! | 08:36 |
| robert_ancell | seb128, no | 08:36 |
| seb128 | robert_ancell, ok, that's wise ;-) | 08:36 |
| robert_ancell | seb128, yes, I had heard legends of how much time it takes to read, so I've never bothered to subscribe | 08:37 |
| Sarvatt | the lcd filter stuff won't apply i'm sure though | 08:37 |
| seb128 | Sarvatt, so it needs to be updated to apply ;-) | 08:38 |
| seb128 | pitti, what didrocks said | 08:45 |
| pitti | didrocks: ok, thanks | 08:46 |
| seb128 | ok | 08:57 |
| seb128 | I replied to mclasen troll | 08:58 |
| * didrocks didn't read d-d-l still today | 09:00 | |
| seb128 | not missing anything | 09:01 |
| seb128 | he's trolling us for shipping desktopcouch and saying that shipping 2 gtk versions is a CD space issue | 09:03 |
| seb128 | then trolling us for not shipping GNOME3 this cycle | 09:03 |
| didrocks | urgh :/ I'm not eager to read this, preferring working first, that's more positive | 09:03 |
| seb128 | saying that we basically don't contribute to it but work on ayatana things at the same time and that we should stop pretending | 09:03 |
| didrocks | how nice this is… | 09:04 |
| seb128 | didrocks, ignore the troll ;-) | 09:04 |
| hyperair | hrmm? where's this post? | 09:05 |
| seb128 | desktop-devel-list | 09:07 |
| seb128 | pitti, if your libusb upload fixes the crash we talked about before lucid that would rock really | 09:07 |
| robert_ancell | later all | 09:11 |
| huats | morning | 10:14 |
| RAOF | seb128: You wanted to talk about my work-items? They might look slightly more scary than they are. I've knocked off two of the bigger ones today, a number of them are for tools outside the archive which won't be affected by the A2 freeze, and some more are documentation WIs. | 10:34 |
| seb128 | hey RAOF | 10:36 |
| seb128 | RAOF, well, we are mid milestone and you have ticked 2 items on 21 | 10:36 |
| seb128 | the maths says you are well behind so I wanted to check if we should delay things ;-) | 10:36 |
| seb128 | it seems those are mostly small tasks though | 10:37 |
| seb128 | so you might have them under control but I wanted to check with you | 10:37 |
| RAOF | Yup. I've now got 4/21 done, and the X server transition is done, as is mesa. | 10:37 |
| seb128 | I also wanted to know if you are tracking the kernel team items | 10:37 |
| seb128 | I've noticed, great work on the transitions btw! | 10:37 |
| RAOF | I haven't been tracking the kernel team items very closely, just every now and then. | 10:38 |
| seb128 | ok | 10:39 |
| seb128 | those seems investigation rather than maverick changes | 10:39 |
| seb128 | could you still try to get an update to know if they still have those on their radars? | 10:39 |
| seb128 | no hurry, when you have time in the next week | 10:39 |
| RAOF | I'll talk to apw. There are a couple of maverick changes that could come as a result of their investigations. | 10:40 |
| seb128 | RAOF, do you need some help on anything or should we look at moving some work items to alpha3 or do you think you have things under control? | 10:40 |
| RAOF | I think I've got things under control. | 10:40 |
| seb128 | ok, great | 10:40 |
| seb128 | I was mainly checking in case you need help or to have some item rescheduled | 10:41 |
| seb128 | RAOF, thanks | 10:41 |
| seb128 | http://people.canonical.com/~pitti/workitems/maverick/canonical-desktop-team-maverick-alpha-2.html | 10:41 |
| seb128 | we are on the trend line today ;-) | 10:41 |
| RAOF | The biggest remaining WI deliverable to the archive is the -intel DDX for i8xx cards, either forward-porting an old DDX and throwing it in universe or re-adding an old codepath to the new DDX so that 8xx cards don't die. | 10:41 |
| seb128 | ok | 10:43 |
| seb128 | seems wayland could be quite some work as well | 10:43 |
| RAOF | Wayland is the thing most likely to slip, yeah. | 10:43 |
| seb128 | that would be fine, we don't rely on it for maverick | 10:43 |
| seb128 | so if we get it a bit later that's fine as well | 10:43 |
| RAOF | Right. It's only going to end up in a PPA for developers to play with. | 10:43 |
| seb128 | and other changes seem mostly investigation, talking to other people, updating tools and documentation | 10:44 |
| RAOF | There's at least one intel hacker interested in re-introducing an old, non-flaming-death codepath for the poor old i8xx cards, so we might get a better outcome than we were dreading at UDS :) | 10:44 |
| RAOF | That's right. | 10:44 |
| seb128 | which shouldn't be an issue either for alpha2 | 10:44 |
| seb128 | RAOF, nice for the i8xx cards ;-) | 10:44 |
| seb128 | RAOF, anyway it seems things look good for alpha2, great work | 10:45 |
| RAOF | Ooh! Dinner has been called! | 10:45 |
| seb128 | RAOF, thanks for the update | 10:45 |
| seb128 | RAOF, enjoy your dinner | 10:45 |
| RAOF | Catch you later :) | 10:45 |
| seb128 | see you | 10:45 |
| seb128 | 10:45 | |
| seb128 | ok | 10:45 |
| seb128 | who knows hiw way with dh7 there? | 10:46 |
| seb128 | how do you make it call dh_girepository | 10:46 |
| seb128 | ? | 10:46 |
| pitti | seb128: as an addon? or in a particular package? | 10:47 |
| seb128 | pitti, in a package | 10:47 |
| pitti | if you wnat to run it after e. g. dh_install, you could write something like | 10:48 |
| pitti | override_dh_install: | 10:48 |
| pitti | dh_install | 10:48 |
| pitti | dh_girrepository | 10:48 |
| seb128 | thanks | 10:48 |
| seb128 | trying that | 10:48 |
| pitti | seb128: "man dh", FTR | 10:49 |
| seb128 | pitti, thanks, I tried man dh7 and man debhelper | 10:52 |
| seb128 | the first one didn't work and the second didn't have what I wanted | 10:53 |
| Sarvatt | ickle seems open to taking that lcdfilter patch for cairo upstream by the way | 11:19 |
| Sarvatt | (Chris Wilson) | 11:20 |
| seb128 | Sarvatt, oh, nice | 11:28 |
| seb128 | it was briefly upstream | 11:28 |
| seb128 | and they reverted it because it was breaking some testsuite cases | 11:28 |
| seb128 | that was before 1.8 | 11:29 |
| asac | Riddell: hey, can you ping me and alf__ when you have a few minutes to talk about qt and embedded packaging ;)? | 11:44 |
| Riddell | asac: ping | 11:45 |
| asac | Riddell: hey | 11:52 |
| asac | Riddell: so ... we are thinking what we can do for qt-embedded packaging this cycle ... and of course need your input on our ideas | 11:52 |
| asac | Riddell: so qt-embedded needs a different soname - upstream said they will suggest one so that fine. i wonder if you would feel comfortable to make a two run build out of the qt package | 11:53 |
| asac | or rather want this to live in a separate source package (copied source) | 11:53 |
| === cking_ is now known as cking | ||
| Riddell | asac: my initial thought is that qt takes quite long enough to build as it is so separate source packages would be best | 12:05 |
| === MacSlow is now known as MacSlow|lunch | ||
| asac | Riddell: so ... our idea is to make the basic embedded qt stack available in the archive, but then run a ppa for now that has the apps ported to it (probably until lighthouse comes out ... which upstream said they will do a proper sonaming for etc) | 12:22 |
| asac | Riddell: however, i wonder if there some kind of "inner-ring" libraries that you would think are essential and we should also make available as embedded packages | 12:23 |
| Riddell | asac: do you have paticular apps in mind? | 12:24 |
| Riddell | asac: qtwebkit is split out into a separate source package in maverick so that's an obvious inner-ring | 12:24 |
| Riddell | possibly phonon too since that's a supported Qt API | 12:24 |
| asac | Riddell: havent decided on that yet; we first want to bring the dev/sdk environment up to speed | 12:24 |
| asac | Riddell: but alf__ tested a few qt apps and they apparently just built and worked | 12:24 |
| asac | we havent went up to kde yet obviously | 12:25 |
| asac | guess kdelibs would be inner ring too ;) ... though i doubt thats really easy to do ;) | 12:25 |
| asac | alf__: ^^ ... so we should also keep qtwebkit in mind and phonon | 12:25 |
| asac | Riddell: did the qtwebkit split already happened? | 12:25 |
| Riddell | yes | 12:26 |
| asac | Riddell: do you expect that the libs etc. from maverick are easy to backport for lucid (during alphas having alucid packages for arm often helps as there are times where you cannot produce images etc. from the moving dev release) | 12:26 |
| Riddell | asac: they're easy to backport yes, we have backports in kubuntu-ppa/beta for KDE 4.5 beta backports | 12:27 |
| asac | great. that makes things even easier | 12:27 |
| asac | Riddell: should i send alf__ to you or someone else from your team for reviewing/sponsoring when he is done with the qt-embedded lib etc.? | 12:27 |
| asac | (i will take a first look before, but i think its better if some "qt" expert does the sanity checking) | 12:28 |
| Riddell | asac: sure, he's always welcome on #kubuntu-devel | 12:29 |
| asac | nice ;) | 12:30 |
| asac | didrocks: do you have good connections to mutter devs for upstreaming? | 12:31 |
| didrocks | asac: I 've post some patches to them, but I don't personnally know them, why? | 12:32 |
| asac | didrocks: just wonder if we have an established channel or if should rather go on my own ;) | 12:32 |
| didrocks | asac: you can go on your own, will be the same than me trying :) | 12:32 |
| asac | heh ok | 12:33 |
| mpt | mdz, hi, you asked on design.canonical.com why Ubuntu didn't offer to install Flash for the user test participants. The answer is bug 161818. | 12:51 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 161818 in ubufox (Ubuntu) "firefox flash-plugin automatic installation fails on youtube (affects: 6) (dups: 2) (heat: 46)" [Wishlist,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/161818 | 12:52 |
| didrocks | mpt: hey, did you have some time to work on oneconf USC design yesterday? | 12:54 |
| mpt | didrocks, no sorry, it was #3 on my list and I didn't get to it, but it's now moved up to #2 | 12:55 |
| didrocks | yeah \o/ ;) | 12:55 |
| didrocks | mpt: no worry, it was just to get this moving as alpha2 is pretty closed now. As long as you can give it a look this week, it will be ok, I hope :) | 12:56 |
| mdz | mpt: ah, thanks. so they always encountered flash first on Youtube, eh? | 12:57 |
| mpt | mdz, I don't know (I wasn't in the test), but the bug affects people visiting any Web site that uses Adobe's recommended method of detecting Flash. | 12:58 |
| mpt | Not just YouTube. | 12:58 |
| soren | mpt: do you have a link to those recommendations? | 13:00 |
| mpt | soren, it's in the bug report | 13:00 |
| soren | mpt: ah, thanks. | 13:01 |
| tydeas | test | 13:01 |
| soren | mpt: So it seems that people always get pointed to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/. Perhaps we could intercept people's attempts to access that and offer them the better way? | 13:05 |
| didrocks | soren: some kind of "if url ==". That sounds sweet :) | 13:07 |
| asac | didrocks: one question: why is mutter packaged as a native package :( | 13:08 |
| mpt | soren, ideally we'd intercept it earlier than that, but that would certainly be better than nothing. | 13:10 |
| didrocks | asac: hum, you mean? the version is 2.31.2-2ubuntu3 and the debian directory is in mutter_2.31.2-2ubuntu3.diff.gz, no? | 13:10 |
| asac | didrocks: whatever i copied from the unity ppa was a native package :( | 13:10 |
| asac | if you say its ok in archive then i am fine ;) | 13:11 |
| didrocks | asac: previous one was, because of dx packaging, but last one shouldn't, let me check | 13:11 |
| didrocks | asac: hum, ok, I didn't push the last version to the UNE ppa (it's the same level of patch though), so yeah, it was native for dx daily build as patch inlined | 13:12 |
| didrocks | asac: I will update this Thursday mutter in the UNE ppa with maverick version. Same level of functionality (same patches), but at least, a real working version | 13:13 |
| asac | ok let me know. i will happily adopt that ;) | 13:13 |
| asac | didrocks: is there a good way to test mutter without unity that you would suggest? | 13:14 |
| didrocks | asac: you can run it into your GNOME session with mutter --replace | 13:14 |
| asac | ok will try that | 13:14 |
| asac | wonder what happens if i do that in efl ;) | 13:14 |
| didrocks | that can be nice to test ^^ | 13:15 |
| asac | didrocks: how can i re-replace that back? | 13:15 |
| asac | metacity --replace? | 13:15 |
| didrocks | maybe in a tty is safer for killing the process easily with DISPLAY=:1 | 13:15 |
| didrocks | right | 13:15 |
| asac | heh | 13:15 |
| didrocks | or even compiz --replace if you trust the non working 3D card :) | 13:15 |
| asac | dont ask for too much ;) | 13:16 |
| asac | yay | 13:24 |
| asac | it works!!! | 13:24 |
| asac | artifacts and weird focus issues | 13:24 |
| asac | but it works ;) | 13:24 |
| asac | not really that many artifacts; just the mouse pointer/caret has a background colored box around it and isnt transparent | 13:25 |
| didrocks | asac: sounds awesome :) | 13:27 |
| didrocks | asac: how does the shiny effects are behaving? | 13:27 |
| didrocks | not too slow? | 13:28 |
| asac | didrocks: i dont know if i see the shiny effects ;) | 13:28 |
| didrocks | asac: you have some zoomout/zoomin while reducing/maximizing windows | 13:28 |
| asac | didrocks: hmm. i have -efl... there is no minimizing | 13:29 |
| didrocks | asac: closing maybe? you have a zoom out IIRC | 13:29 |
| asac | now my board hangs ;) | 13:29 |
| didrocks | (on the window itself) | 13:29 |
| didrocks | urgh :-) | 13:29 |
| asac | let me reboot and try to log into a gnome session or something | 13:29 |
| asac | wonder if i have gnome session installed | 13:29 |
| asac | (this thing only has 256m) | 13:30 |
| didrocks | hum… let's cross the fingers it will start ^^ | 13:30 |
| asac | yep | 13:31 |
| === MacSlow|lunch is now known as MacSlow | ||
| asac | didrocks: zooming in and out works with desktop session ;) | 13:42 |
| didrocks | asac: awesome! :) | 13:42 |
| asac | but killing mutter kills the board reliably ;) | 13:42 |
| * didrocks cross fingers for unity to behave the same so :) | 13:42 | |
| didrocks | argh :) | 13:42 |
| asac | for unity we have to make clutk a decent piece of software first ;) | 13:53 |
| didrocks | asac: ask to njpatel :) | 13:55 |
| asac | didrocks: already did. he redirected me to jay ;) | 13:56 |
| didrocks | ahah ^^ | 13:56 |
| asac | but jay seems to hide today ;) | 13:56 |
| asac | as if he knew what was coming | 13:56 |
| didrocks | don't trust French people running away from France, they can feel when things can go badly for them :-) | 13:57 |
| didrocks | seb128: rhythmbox upstream has a fix in trunk for the crash we saw yesterday | 14:00 |
| seb128 | didrocks, a workaround, yes | 14:00 |
| seb128 | didrocks, the issue seems a pygobject one | 14:00 |
| didrocks | right, a workaround | 14:01 |
| seb128 | didrocks, don't bother backporting it | 14:01 |
| seb128 | I will do a rhythmbox snapshot update in the next days | 14:01 |
| didrocks | seb128: ok, perfect! Thanks :) | 14:01 |
| seb128 | np | 14:01 |
| seb128 | didrocks, thank you for bringing that upstream and the f-spot issue as well | 14:01 |
| seb128 | and yes I'm watching you ;-) | 14:01 |
| pitti | chrisccoulson, seb128: so what's the status of firefox and those langpacks? do I have a todo item for copying those to -proposed/-updates or who will? | 14:01 |
| * didrocks returns and look at his back | 14:01 | |
| seb128 | pitti, they need to go to security | 14:02 |
| didrocks | seb128: no, you aren't there! How do you do? | 14:02 |
| seb128 | didrocks, ;-) | 14:02 |
| seb128 | pitti, but when firefox 3.6.4 will be available from mozilla which is still not the case I think? | 14:02 |
| seb128 | chrisccoulson, ^ | 14:02 |
| pitti | seb128: ok, so those are on hold for now; the copying to the moz ppa was done, I take it? | 14:02 |
| seb128 | pitti, I would appreciate if you could do the copy on time | 14:03 |
| seb128 | pitti, yes | 14:03 |
| seb128 | pitti, they are in the moz ppa right now | 14:03 |
| seb128 | pitti, they will be copied with the security update | 14:03 |
| pitti | seb128: I can, but I'd appreciate if someone could poke me when ffox gets copied over | 14:03 |
| seb128 | I guess jdstrand or whoever does the copy will copy all together | 14:03 |
| pitti | seb128: it'd be the very same process as copying ffox itself | 14:03 |
| pitti | right, that seems easiest | 14:03 |
| pitti | instead of doing it by two different persons, I mean | 14:04 |
| seb128 | pitti, so no todo item for you ;-) | 14:04 |
| pitti | ok, thanks | 14:04 |
| pitti | I was just wondering what to do with ArneGoetje's mails, but seems that it's being handled | 14:04 |
| * pitti hugs you all | 14:04 | |
| pitti | you see, nobody is missing me :) | 14:04 |
| * seb128 hugs pitti | 14:04 | |
| seb128 | oh, we do! | 14:04 |
| * didrocks hugs pitti, we miss you | 14:05 | |
| seb128 | pitti, but good point about ArneGoetje's emails, chrisccoulson said he would reply to those some days ago | 14:05 |
| seb128 | chrisccoulson, ^ did you copy the extra langpacks from those emails to the mozilla ppa? could you reply to the email saying where we stand with those updates? | 14:06 |
| pitti | seb128: I did reply with "waiting for fffox to go to -security" | 14:06 |
| seb128 | thanks | 14:07 |
| desrt | robert ancell and myself are in incredibly incompatible timezones... | 14:07 |
| chrisccoulson | hey pitti - i don't think you need to do anything with the langpacks do you? they're currently in the u-m-s PPA, and they just get copied to -security with the security update don't they? | 14:07 |
| chrisccoulson | (i think that's how it's working) | 14:07 |
| seb128 | chrisccoulson, right, that's we concluded as well there | 14:08 |
| chrisccoulson | seb128 - i uploaded those extra langpacks but forgot to send an e-mail ;) | 14:08 |
| seb128 | chrisccoulson, could you confirm you did grab the updated ones ArneGoetje listed some days ago? | 14:08 |
| seb128 | chrisccoulson, ok | 14:08 |
| seb128 | chrisccoulson, no news of the update from mozilla yet? | 14:08 |
| chrisccoulson | not yet, but i think it will happen quite soon | 14:08 |
| chrisccoulson | i'm hoping to have karmic in a state that can be tested by tomorrow | 14:09 |
| seb128 | ok | 14:09 |
| rickspencer3 | tremolux, hey | 14:33 |
| tremolux | rickspencer3: hey Rick | 14:34 |
| rickspencer3 | tremolux, I see mpt created a design for new apps | 14:34 |
| rickspencer3 | and you have a work item to implement it | 14:34 |
| rickspencer3 | does it seem feasible to get it done for A2? | 14:34 |
| tremolux | rickspencer3: looking | 14:36 |
| tremolux | rickspencer3: yep, it's feasible for A2 | 14:40 |
| kenvandine | sucks not being able to read twitter dev docs because of fail whale! | 14:41 |
| === al-maisan is now known as almaisan-away | ||
| tremolux | rickspencer3: I should qualify that; we may not have it pixel-perfect for A2, but to have the section there displaying the apps should be doable | 14:46 |
| rickspencer3 | tremolux, could you add a work item such as "refine implementation to match specs" to A3? | 14:47 |
| tremolux | rickspencer3: yes, good idea | 14:47 |
| jcastro | hey kenvandine, have you been following the twitter api thing ryan is concerned about? | 14:49 |
| nessita | hello everyone | 14:51 |
| rickspencer3 | hi nessita, 'sup? | 14:51 |
| nessita | rickspencer3: hey there! just now I remember chipaca told me to talk with you about the agenda in the next sprint in prague | 14:52 |
| nessita | seb128: about the package I uploaded yesterday (ubuntu-sso-client), do I have to do any further steps? I uploaded an update to https://code.launchpad.net/~nataliabidart/ubuntu/maverick/ubuntu-sso-client/maverick | 14:53 |
| kenvandine | jcastro, yes... we are stressed about getting that resolved and SRU'd | 14:53 |
| nessita | seb128: would you be able to sponsor it? | 14:53 |
| nessita | rickspencer3: not sure what "talk about the agenda" means, but maybe you know :-) | 14:53 |
| rickspencer3 | I don't know :/ | 14:54 |
| seb128 | nessita, hi, sorry I'm quite busy with other things right now | 14:54 |
| nessita | seb128: no problem, would you know who can be able to do it? | 14:54 |
| nessita | rickspencer3: heh, I ask Chipaca then | 14:54 |
| fta | Sarvatt, excellent. let me know if you have ideas to improve it, or if you need more info on the page | 16:09 |
| blue_anna | I'm having a problem with empathy client crashing on incoming voice calls (but not outbound) | 16:11 |
| blue_anna | someone suggested upgrading libpurple, another libtelepathy -- do you know if I should try one, or the other, or both? | 16:12 |
| didrocks | alf__: I would say, don't bump the ABI if upstream doesn't do it. Can you convince them to remove the exposal of json_*, force the external dep and so bump the soname? | 16:13 |
| fta | Sarvatt, i will probably add a popup for the Repositories, instead of just an "X". and i probably need to cache the data between sessions, so it's faster to update. btw, how often do you update it? | 16:14 |
| blue_anna | well I'm just going to guess | 16:16 |
| alf__ | didrocks: I can try :) but I don't expect they will. According to them, the internal json-glib is not supposed to be used by distributions. | 16:17 |
| didrocks | alf__: another solution is to look at rdepends :) | 16:17 |
| didrocks | blue_anna: try on #ubuntu | 16:17 |
| alf__ | didrocks: To see if anyone really uses the exported json_* functions? | 16:17 |
| blue_anna | I did -- but since I got conflicting advice about which libs were involved I thought I'd try to get it clarified here | 16:18 |
| didrocks | alf__: right, in the internal dependency | 16:18 |
| alf__ | didrocks: internal dependency? | 16:19 |
| didrocks | alf__: sorry, I meant "to check if they use the internal json-glib" | 16:19 |
| didrocks | apt-cache rdepends libclutter-1.0-0 is not that scary | 16:20 |

| tremolux | rickspencer3: ping for a question about the Software Center update section of the weekly status | 16:36 |
| rickspencer3 | tremolux, sure? | 16:36 |
| rickspencer3 | 'sup? | 16:36 |
| tremolux | rickspencer3: would you like that to be more a summary of the status of things, or just to highlight what's happened during the week? | 16:37 |
| tremolux | rickspencer3: meaning, if it's a summary, then unchanged items will be repeated | 16:37 |
| rickspencer3 | tremolux, what happened during the week | 16:37 |
| rickspencer3 | share info people need | 16:37 |
| tremolux | rickspencer3: ok, sounds good | 16:37 |
| tremolux | rickspencer3: thx | 16:38 |
| didrocks | tremolux: for "hiding non app" by default, once you are in the featured app view, you get "19 other technical item", and when you click on it, nothing happen (I just think there is no technical item in the category and apps are counted as such). Known bug? | 16:47 |
| tremolux | didrocks: yes, known bug :( | 16:47 |
| tremolux | didrocks: I have to write it up still | 16:47 |
| didrocks | tremolux: ok, just to be sure, thanks :) | 16:47 |
| tremolux | didrocks: thanks! | 16:48 |
| didrocks | you're welcome ;) | 16:48 |
| rickspencer3 | seb128, thanks for handling the meeting | 17:23 |
| rickspencer3 | I'll be back online for a bit in like an hour or less | 17:23 |
| seb128 | hey everybody | 17:30 |
| didrocks | hey seb128 | 17:30 |
| ArneGoetje | hi | 17:30 |
| seb128 | ArneGoetje, chrisccoulson, didrocks, tremolux, Riddell, kenvandine, pitti, tkamppeter: hello | 17:30 |
| seb128 | did I forget anybody? | 17:31 |
| tremolux | hi everybody | 17:31 |
| seb128 | rick is not available for the meeting today | 17:31 |
| seb128 | so I'm going to lead this one | 17:31 |
| seb128 | I hope everybody had a good weekend and start of week ;-) | 17:31 |
| chrisccoulson | hi :) | 17:31 |
| seb128 | let's get started | 17:31 |
| seb128 | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Meeting/2010-06-15 | 17:31 |
| seb128 | so, previous meeting actions, oneconf | 17:32 |
| seb128 | I guess everybody has been busy and there was not happening there? | 17:32 |
| seb128 | didrocks, ^ did you get any feedback this week? | 17:32 |
| didrocks | I saw tremolux did some testing | 17:32 |
| didrocks | but I hadn't any feedback, unfortunately | 17:32 |
| seb128 | tremolux, thanks for helping didrocks there ;-) | 17:32 |
| seb128 | didrocks, you might want to try emailing the ubuntu-desktop list | 17:33 |
| tremolux | yes, I started some testing but got bogged with other things, I will do more this week tho | 17:33 |
| seb128 | or ubuntu-devel-discuss | 17:33 |
| seb128 | I guess it will be easier to get feedback this way | 17:33 |
| didrocks | will email the list so :) | 17:33 |
| pitti | TBH it's the first time I hear "oneconf" | 17:33 |
| seb128 | pitti, it's on the meeting agenda for 3 weeks now | 17:33 |
| tremolux | didrocks: I realize it's important that I test it because of the integration with s-c, so I will make it a priority | 17:34 |
| seb128 | pitti, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneConf/Testing | 17:34 |
| pitti | seb128: sorry | 17:34 |
| Riddell | hi | 17:34 |
| didrocks | tremolux: thanks a lot :) users seem more interesting than developers :) | 17:34 |
| * kenvandine waves... sorry mission-control-5 had my laptop pegged | 17:34 | |
| seb128 | pitti, no need to be sorry, you don't have to watch what's happening there ;-) | 17:34 |
| seb128 | hey Riddell, kenvandine | 17:35 |
| seb128 | ok, moving on | 17:35 |
| seb128 | kenvandine, just on time, it's your turn | 17:35 |
| kenvandine | :) | 17:35 |
| kenvandine | ok, for DX... appmenu stuff is in main... yay | 17:35 |
| kenvandine | and hopefully will be by default in UNE this week | 17:35 |
| seb128 | thanks tedg, bratsche, kenvandine, jcastro for the work on this | 17:35 |
| kenvandine | and seb128 :) | 17:36 |
| seb128 | ;-) | 17:36 |
| kenvandine | indicator-network should make it to universe this week, but we won't put it in main yet | 17:36 |
| kenvandine | it lacks any way to control settings if you have problems | 17:36 |
| kenvandine | so that will happen in a3 | 17:36 |
| seb128 | ok | 17:36 |
| seb128 | let's see how it goes when it's universe | 17:36 |
| kenvandine | indicator-sound goodies should land this week, should be nice | 17:37 |
| seb128 | nice | 17:37 |
| kenvandine | on to OLS, their first week of weekly releases went well afaik | 17:37 |
| kenvandine | they uploaded everything they planned to :) | 17:37 |
| seb128 | rock on! | 17:37 |
| seb128 | go ols go! | 17:37 |
| kenvandine | they will be decommitting some of their a2 WIs | 17:38 |
| kenvandine | more to come soon | 17:38 |
| kenvandine | still discussing it | 17:38 |
| kenvandine | i think that is all i have for now | 17:38 |
| seb128 | ok | 17:38 |
| kenvandine | any questions/comments? | 17:38 |
| seb128 | thanks kenvandine | 17:38 |
| seb128 | just a note, current appmenu is in main but still quite buggy | 17:38 |
| seb128 | they are working actively on it | 17:38 |
| seb128 | so maybe wait for next update round to test it | 17:38 |
| kenvandine | seb128, you getting that gtk patch in maverick? | 17:38 |
| kenvandine | i uploaded it to the une ppa for lucid | 17:38 |
| seb128 | kenvandine, yes, will upload after the meeting | 17:39 |
| kenvandine | thx | 17:39 |
| seb128 | np | 17:39 |
| seb128 | does anybody has questions or comments? | 17:39 |
| seb128 | I guess it's a no | 17:39 |
| seb128 | let's move on | 17:39 |
| seb128 | Riddell, hey | 17:39 |
| seb128 | Riddell, kubuntu update? | 17:39 |
| Riddell | - KDE SC 4.5 Beta 2 in, still compiling on arm | 17:40 |
| Riddell | - MIRs needed: avogadro, openjpeg, librcps, create-resources, rekonq, pstoedit, getfem++, libspnav, plotutils | 17:40 |
| Riddell | - pulseaudio added to Kubuntu by default | 17:40 |
| Riddell | would be nice to get those MIRs before alpha 2 | 17:40 |
| seb128 | urg | 17:40 |
| seb128 | I don't know if rick managed to get anything done for those | 17:40 |
| seb128 | asac, pitti: ^ where do we stand for mirs? I guess not active reviewer right now? | 17:40 |
| Riddell | some of those asac looked at in lucid but we never completed because we decided to keep koffice in universe | 17:41 |
| seb128 | we waved in the unity stack since it's work coming from us but other items are queuing | 17:41 |
| pitti | I gave up on MIRs since I still have to do a lot on SRUs; asac kindly agreed to take over the role of assigning incoming MIRs to reviewers | 17:41 |
| seb128 | ok | 17:41 |
| seb128 | Riddell, I will check with rickspencer3 and asac after meeting what we can do to unblock those | 17:41 |
| seb128 | thanks | 17:42 |
| seb128 | does anybody has comments or questions for Riddell? | 17:42 |
| seb128 | pitti, ok, fair enough | 17:42 |
| seb128 | ok, moving on | 17:42 |
| seb128 | didrocks, hey | 17:42 |
| seb128 | UNE update? | 17:42 |
| didrocks | Unity is now the defaut on UNE maverick CD! | 17:42 |
| didrocks | The transition should be effective for lucid -> maverick UNE upgrade and lucid UNE ppa -> maverick | 17:43 |
| didrocks | The CD size is scary though, considering that we even don't have all the components in place (and most of them will land post alpha2 :/) (same size than amd64 image btw) | 17:43 |
| didrocks | New release on Thursday (late), the release will be a little bit sooner and backport to UNE lucid ppa on Friday. | 17:43 |
| didrocks | Apart from that, there is a wiki page stating how to test Unity on lucid and on maverick: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Unity | 17:43 |
| * didrocks will add a oneconf link to it (kidding) :) | 17:43 | |
| kenvandine | off topic... holy crap my ~/.mission-control/accounts.cfg file is 512M! | 17:43 |
| seb128 | unity \o/ | 17:43 |
| kenvandine | hehe | 17:43 |
| seb128 | kenvandine, -> #telepathy ;-) | 17:44 |
| kenvandine | hehe | 17:44 |
| didrocks | (that's it for me, if nobody has questions :)) | 17:45 |
| seb128 | didrocks, thanks | 17:45 |
| seb128 | nicely done for unity | 17:45 |
| didrocks | thanks :) | 17:45 |
| seb128 | the upgrade went just fine there | 17:45 |
| tremolux | very cool didrock | 17:45 |
| tremolux | s | 17:45 |
| seb128 | ok, moving on | 17:45 |
| didrocks | yeah, if anybody has some issues in upgrading scenario, do not hesitate to bug me! | 17:45 |
| seb128 | tremolux, hey | 17:45 |
| seb128 | software center update? | 17:46 |
| tremolux | hey | 17:46 |
| seb128 | I see you copied one on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Meeting/2010-06-15 | 17:46 |
| tremolux | sure, warning, wordy paste incoming: | 17:46 |
| tremolux | New Apps on a Stable Release: mpt has completed the design and spec for discovery/presentation of new apps here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#Lobby%20screen | 17:46 |
| tremolux | we can begin implementing the new functionality this week | 17:46 |
| tremolux | Buy Something: we had an overview of the payments API from Ricardo Kirkner including a walkthrough of the process, it was really helpful | 17:46 |
| tremolux | I've started prototyping a payments widget to learn/test/use the API | 17:46 |
| tremolux | Also, mvo's basic LP integration is in place now (in the most recent release), it's still in-development so will be hidden by default at next Software Center release | 17:46 |
| tremolux | (sort of summarizing) ;) | 17:46 |
| * didrocks is eager to play with that :) | 17:47 | |
| seb128 | nice summary | 17:47 |
| seb128 | and nice changes coming ;-) | 17:47 |
| tremolux | yeah, lots of stuff starting to happen for these :) | 17:48 |
| seb128 | thank tremolux | 17:48 |
| seb128 | that's great work! | 17:48 |
| seb128 | does anybody has comments or questions for tremolux? | 17:48 |
| tremolux | thanks seb128 | 17:49 |
| seb128 | ok, let's say it's a no, moving on | 17:49 |
| seb128 | chrisccoulson, hey | 17:49 |
| chrisccoulson | hi | 17:49 |
| seb128 | chrisccoulson, I forgot to ask you before, but could you do an update on the firefox work for us? | 17:49 |
| seb128 | where do we stand? what issues do we still have? | 17:49 |
| chrisccoulson | yeah, i can give a brief update | 17:49 |
| seb128 | thanks | 17:49 |
| chrisccoulson | hardy is pretty much done, with the exception of a few xulrunner rdepends yet to be ported. micahg is working on those, although they aren't high priority | 17:50 |
| chrisccoulson | all the issues i know about are either now resolved or have a fix in waiting | 17:50 |
| seb128 | nice | 17:50 |
| seb128 | the font issue got fixed then? | 17:50 |
| chrisccoulson | i hope to be able to get karmic in to a state to start testing tomorrow | 17:50 |
| chrisccoulson | yeah, i've got a fix for the font issue | 17:51 |
| seb128 | \o/ | 17:51 |
| seb128 | karmic ready for testing, nice | 17:51 |
| chrisccoulson | i'm just getting the langpacks for karmic uploaded now | 17:51 |
| seb128 | so we are almost "there" | 17:51 |
| chrisccoulson | firefox, xulrunner 1.9.2 and ubufox were uploaded today | 17:51 |
| seb128 | I'm sure you will be glad once those will be out ;-) | 17:51 |
| chrisccoulson | yeah, we're pretty much there now. i hope to be able to start winding down from this at the end of the week | 17:52 |
| seb128 | is there still versions to land or test after karmic? | 17:52 |
| chrisccoulson | there will be jaunty too, but firefox is already uploaded for jaunty | 17:52 |
| seb128 | ok | 17:52 |
| seb128 | thanks chrisccoulson | 17:53 |
| seb128 | great work! | 17:53 |
| chrisccoulson | thanks for helping out with the testing too :) | 17:53 |
| tremolux | chrisccoulson: I think you know; I did some upgrade testing on my hardy netbook, it all worked fine for me | 17:53 |
| seb128 | chrisccoulson, do you still need extra testing for those updates you think? do we need to do another call for testing? | 17:53 |
| chrisccoulson | awesome! | 17:53 |
| chrisccoulson | yeah, we should do another call for testing when jaunty and karmic are ready, but i think hardy is ok now | 17:54 |
| tremolux | that's cool, gotta feel good | 17:54 |
| seb128 | ok | 17:54 |
| seb128 | thanks chrisccoulson | 17:54 |
| seb128 | let's move on | 17:54 |
| seb128 | hum, seems it's my turn | 17:55 |
| seb128 | http://people.canonical.com/~pitti/workitems/maverick/canonical-desktop-team-maverick-alpha-2.html | 17:55 |
| seb128 | so we are approching alpha2 | 17:55 |
| seb128 | and we just got back on the trend line | 17:55 |
| seb128 | thanks everybody for updating your workitems! | 17:55 |
| seb128 | the line goes until july 1st but changes should land for next week | 17:56 |
| seb128 | ie june 24th | 17:56 |
| seb128 | then we have some margin for tweaking, fixing and documentation | 17:56 |
| seb128 | seems we are on shape for a2 though | 17:56 |
| seb128 | I've already discussed workitems with team members out of the meeting mostly so no point to go through specs again there I think | 17:56 |
| seb128 | if anybody has anything you want to discuss you are welcome to comment or ask questions now though | 17:57 |
| seb128 | questions? comments? | 17:57 |
| * didrocks yeah for being on the trend line \o/ | 17:57 | |
| seb128 | ;-) | 17:58 |
| seb128 | ok, let's move on | 17:58 |
| kenvandine | ok | 17:58 |
| seb128 | who plans to go to GUADEC there? | 17:58 |
| didrocks | o/ | 17:59 |
| seb128 | seems we lag a bit behind on organization but I talked to rick today | 17:59 |
| seb128 | we will get an update for the team about registration and organization details | 17:59 |
| kenvandine | not me | 17:59 |
| seb128 | I would just like to have an idea of who is going now | 17:59 |
| seb128 | so didrocks | 18:00 |
| seb128 | I'm going as well | 18:00 |
| seb128 | rick is going | 18:00 |
| seb128 | chrisccoulson, not sure if you planned to go? | 18:00 |
| jcastro | (remember guadec starts on wednesday this year!) | 18:00 |
| seb128 | the 2 days before are conference days as well though | 18:00 |
| seb128 | but not real GUADEC days | 18:01 |
| chrisccoulson | seb128 - i hadn't thought about it actually | 18:01 |
| chrisccoulson | do you think it's worth for me to go? | 18:01 |
| seb128 | chrisccoulson, well, this week would be time to think about it ;-) | 18:01 |
| seb128 | chrisccoulson, not so much for your main tasks | 18:01 |
| seb128 | but you have bit doing quite some desktop and GNOME work | 18:01 |
| seb128 | and it's in Europe | 18:02 |
| seb128 | so it's close enough | 18:02 |
| seb128 | chrisccoulson, let's chat after meeting if you want | 18:02 |
| seb128 | ok | 18:02 |
| seb128 | I think that was it from me or the agenda | 18:03 |
| seb128 | is any having anything to add? | 18:03 |
| seb128 | questions, comments, announces? | 18:03 |
| didrocks | I want to speak about banshee by default on UNE | 18:03 |
| didrocks | just to grab some inputs | 18:03 |
| didrocks | (no jcastro it's not the time to say +1, want 2 minutes ;)) | 18:03 |
| didrocks | so, from the tests this week: | 18:03 |
| didrocks | IMHO banshee is feature-wise like for netbook user I guess (some corner cases like Upnp support missing, but netbook user can be considered having less need than desktop ones) | 18:04 |
| didrocks | There is an indicator integration (currently broken in maverick because of indicator sharp bindings) and Bertrand will work on SoundMenuV2 integration | 18:04 |
| didrocks | There is also the ubuntu music store plugin, it misses the "first time mp3 support download support" though. | 18:04 |
| didrocks | There is an extension which gives a netbook interface (used in meego). This one is great but needs some tweaking to get to our needs. For instance, you can't import music from there | 18:04 |
| didrocks | You have also the two interfaces (netbook and traditional ones) launched in the same time, which isn't great | 18:04 |
| didrocks | So, little tweaking needed to integrate that to ubuntu (maybe something like 3/4 days of work). That can worth it into my mind. | 18:05 |
| didrocks | Those are basically a switcher between the 2 modes, not showing both interfaces per default, rename of the panel title, activate some library by default, and some lavels, ubuntuone plugin adjustement, and radio music list per default. | 18:05 |
| didrocks | They can be some issues with exporting the menu (they are using there own tweaks), but we'll have to figure this out in any case. | 18:05 |
| didrocks | so, for me, banshee by default on UNE is a +1, any other thoughts/remarks? | 18:05 |
| didrocks | jcastro: do you think there a way we can encourage the community to make the netbook panel more integrated to ubuntu? | 18:06 |
| kenvandine | jcastro, if anyone can get it done.. it's you man! | 18:07 |
| didrocks | s/lavels/labels of course :) | 18:07 |
| * didrocks feels lonely suddenly ;-) | 18:09 | |
| seb128 | heh | 18:09 |
| seb128 | do you think we could get input from design or user testing on the netbook ui? | 18:09 |
| jcastro | didrocks: sure, I just need a list of things you need (which I think we discussed last week for a minute) | 18:09 |
| seb128 | I guess the netbook frontend is the main reason why we would like to use banshee | 18:09 |
| didrocks | seb128: design is very busy from what I understood, I would maybe go for some hacks, and then, have some feedback to get things moving | 18:10 |
| didrocks | jcastro: right, I have a more detail list, I will make it understandable and forward it to you tomorrow | 18:10 |
| didrocks | right | 18:10 |
| didrocks | for the netbook ui | 18:10 |
| didrocks | it's really good for small screen | 18:10 |
| didrocks | it doesn't handle video by design though, only music | 18:10 |
| kenvandine | didrocks, and good for touch screen, right? | 18:11 |
| didrocks | kenvandine: better than rhythmbox or default ui. But it will require still some work | 18:11 |
| didrocks | but for instance, by default, you have nothing listed in it | 18:11 |
| bcurtiswx | kenvandine: looking at bug #590619, I'm wondering how long you've had since last reboot. My file is only 3.4K. | 18:11 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 590619 in telepathy-mission-control-5 (Ubuntu) "Unreasonable memory usage (affects: 1) (heat: 488)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/590619 | 18:12 |
| didrocks | saw, enabling the "auto import from Music and Videos" and write: "drop some files in Music/ so that it appears here" is an easy patch | 18:12 |
| kenvandine | i think almost all of the file is one line from the old haze plugin implementation of the facebook chat plugin | 18:12 |
| seb128 | didrocks, I guess we can try to enable banshee by default on UNE and wait on comments? | 18:12 |
| didrocks | seb128: yeah, seems reasonable. I want to hack for the end of the week on what I can do for the ui | 18:13 |
| didrocks | so, seeding it eow or beginning of next seems ok | 18:13 |
| didrocks | (and so, alpha2 with it) | 18:13 |
| bcurtiswx | kenvandine: OK, so workaround being to remove accounts.config and setup your accounts again. or is there something less destructive of that file? | 18:14 |
| kenvandine | yay | 18:14 |
| kenvandine | bcurtiswx, i tried that it and it fixed the problem... but not sure if that entry was the problem | 18:14 |
| seb128 | ok | 18:15 |
| seb128 | seems there is not a lot of comments | 18:15 |
| seb128 | and bcurtiswx and kenvandine are hijacking the meeting now to discuss bugs | 18:15 |
| kenvandine | sorry :) | 18:15 |
| seb128 | so let's wrap up | 18:15 |
| seb128 | didrocks, thanks, let's try to get banshee by default and see how it goes | 18:16 |
| seb128 | only for UNE | 18:16 |
| seb128 | don't misquote that ;-) | 18:16 |
| kenvandine | hehe | 18:16 |
| bcurtiswx | seb128: apologies, didn't know there was a meeting | 18:16 |
| didrocks | seb128: sweet, will do :-) | 18:16 |
| * kenvandine only hears what he wants to hear | 18:16 | |
| seb128 | bcurtiswx, no worry | 18:16 |
| seb128 | thanks everybody | 18:16 |
| didrocks | kenvandine: fix the indicator mono binding first :p | 18:16 |
| seb128 | see you next week | 18:16 |
| kenvandine | thx seb128... banshee by default :) | 18:16 |
| tremolux | thanks everyone! | 18:16 |
| seb128 | keep rocking, alpha2 shapes to be a solid alpha version ;-) | 18:17 |
| didrocks | thanks everyone :) | 18:17 |
| seb128 | kenvandine, lol | 18:17 |
| * didrocks marks evaluate banshee by default on UNE as DONE :-) | 18:17 | |
| tremolux | didrocks: \o/ | 18:18 |
| jcastro | didrocks: I will make the U1 banshee eval as done! | 18:18 |
| seb128 | didrocks, waouh! | 18:18 |
| didrocks | jcastro: sweet :) | 18:18 |
| rickspencer3 | kenvandine, so I don't think my desktopcouch databases are syncing between my lucid netbook and maverisk desktop | 18:19 |
| rickspencer3 | is there a known problem, or should I troubleshoot when I get home? | 18:19 |
| kenvandine | rickspencer3, not known | 18:22 |
| rickspencer3 | kenvandine, ok, I'll poke at it later | 18:22 |
| kenvandine | thx | 18:23 |
| seb128 | oh, rickspencer3 is back | 18:23 |
| seb128 | hey rickspencer3 ;-) | 18:23 |
| kenvandine | bcurtiswx, how big is accounts.cfg for me? | 18:23 |
| kenvandine | s/me/you | 18:23 |
| bcurtiswx | 3.4K | 18:23 |
| rickspencer3 | seb128, I'll be here for a few minutes, then gone again | 18:23 |
| rickspencer3 | just here long enough to be disruptive and randomizing | 18:24 |
| seb128 | rickspencer3, be as disruptive as you want, we finished the meeting ;-) | 18:24 |
| * bcurtiswx wasn't any help to that | 18:24 | |
| rickspencer3 | seb128, can you repeat the main points of the meeting? | 18:25 |
| rickspencer3 | j/k | 18:25 |
| seb128 | rickspencer3, we agree that everybody would be on holidays for the next 2 weeks and that you would handle alpha2 | 18:25 |
| rickspencer3 | thanks seb128 | 18:25 |
| seb128 | rickspencer3, that was about it I think ;-) | 18:25 |
| seb128 | yw ;-) | 18:25 |
| rickspencer3 | I knew I could count on you | 18:26 |
| seb128 | always happy to serve you and the team! | 18:26 |
| didrocks | I agree, my logs clearly state that :) | 18:28 |
| chrisccoulson | right, karmic langpacks are uploading now | 18:29 |
| chrisccoulson | that will take a while, so I'm going to disappear for a bit to go and buy some network cable | 18:30 |
| rickspencer3 | chrisccoulson, nice! | 18:30 |
| tremolux | chrisccoulson: man, you surely do know how to have a good time! ;) | 18:30 |
| tremolux | chrisccoulson: (network cable adventure) | 18:31 |
| chrisccoulson | lol ;) | 18:31 |
| chrisccoulson | i need to try and hook my printer up to my router, and i thought i could also do with hooking my docking station up to the router too (in preparation for breaking networking i start testing connman) | 18:32 |

| sabdfl | hi seb128, i've bumped https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/16492 to high, would you review unclutter for MIR and CD and provide feedback and thoughts? | 18:39 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 16492 in gtk+2.0 (Ubuntu Maverick) (and 3 other projects) "Mouse pointer should disappear when keyboard is in use and mouse isn't (affects: 18) (heat: 111)" [High,Triaged] | 18:40 |
| seb128 | sabdfl, hey | 18:41 |
| seb128 | sabdfl, unclutter is in main already it seems | 18:41 |
| seb128 | sabdfl, I will review it for default installation | 18:41 |
| sabdfl | thanks seb128, much appreciate feedback either way | 18:42 |
| sabdfl | only complication is it needs to be in the session to be effective by default, aiui | 18:42 |
| sabdfl | open to other/better solutions to the bug | 18:42 |
| seb128 | well, it seems something xorg itself should handle to me | 18:43 |
| seb128 | but I don't know enough about the topic to comment on why it's not the case and what it would take to get xorg doing it | 18:44 |
| seb128 | I will review what unclutter is doing and talk with our xorg team about that though | 18:44 |
| seb128 | sabdfl, I will keep you updated, thanks for raising the topic | 18:44 |
| seb128 | rickspencer3, did you have time to do something about the mir issue? | 19:02 |
| seb128 | rickspencer3, seems kubuntu is blocked on it for alpha2 work | 19:02 |
| fta | tedg, kenvandine: i have the power manager set to never display its icon, yet, the indicator applet recently started to display one (it's a real desktop, i don't need a battery indicator). is that already a known bug? | 19:09 |
| seb128 | fta, yes | 19:09 |
| seb128 | fta, if you use maverickf | 19:09 |
| fta | yes | 19:09 |
| seb128 | fta, the set_icon call has been broken in the most recent indicator-application update | 19:10 |
| seb128 | ie icons will not change in the indicator right now | 19:10 |
| fta | seb128, ok, thanks. if it's already tracked, i'm happy :) | 19:10 |
| seb128 | it is | 19:11 |
| fta | excellent | 19:11 |
| kenvandine | :) | 19:12 |
| * kenvandine eats... bbiab | 19:12 | |
| seb128 | didrocks, https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-maverick-une-app-selection | 19:22 |
| didrocks | seb128: yes? | 19:22 |
| seb128 | didrocks, where did you get a request to evaluate nautilus? | 19:22 |
| dobey | hey seb128; do you know what rule to specify in debian/rules to run "make check" under during the build, for example? | 19:22 |
| didrocks | seb128: it was a question on the "request feedback" LP features. However, when you answer those, it removes the question apparently | 19:23 |
| seb128 | dobey, what packaging system? | 19:23 |
| didrocks | seb128: the question was "will nautilus still be there?" | 19:23 |
| seb128 | didrocks, oh ok | 19:23 |
| dobey | seb128: hrmm? cdbs | 19:23 |
| dobey | (i guess that's what you're asking) | 19:23 |
| seb128 | dobey, yes ;-) | 19:23 |
| fta | dobey, DEB_MAKE_CHECK_TARGET=check | 19:26 |
| fta | or test, or whatever your check target is called | 19:27 |
| seb128 | dobey, what fta says | 19:27 |
| dobey | fta: what about for python then? | 19:27 |
| seb128 | fta, thanks, I was searching for it ;-) | 19:27 |
| fta | not sure python has that, let me check | 19:28 |
| soren | DEB_MAKE_CHECK_TARGET is defined by class/autotools.mk | 19:29 |
| fta | nope, it's just implemented for makefile, autotools and perl | 19:30 |
| soren | it's not there if only debhelper and python-distutils are included. | 19:30 |
| soren | Err... I'm full of it. | 19:31 |
| soren | It's used in class/makefile.mk | 19:31 |
| fta | both autotools and perl* include makefile.mk and it's there | 19:31 |
| soren | ...but still, if only debhelper and python-distutils are included, it's not used. | 19:31 |
| soren | fta: Right. | 19:32 |
| fta | it's trivial to add though | 19:32 |
| soren | Certainly. | 19:32 |
| fta | but it's often not needed for python as it could be done in setup.py | 19:34 |
| bcurtiswx | maverick uploads from debian-unstable or -experimental? | 19:36 |
| micahg | bcurtiswx: auto-sync is from unstable | 19:37 |
| seb128 | chrisccoulson, do you have any time for a non firefox task? | 19:37 |
| bcurtiswx | micahg: do you know how a package makes it from -experimental to -unstable? | 19:38 |
| micahg | bcurtiswx: do you want to merge something? | 19:38 |
| bcurtiswx | the new empathy is in -experimental | 19:38 |
| micahg | bcurtiswx: stuff can be merged from experimental as needed, but seb128 or someone else would have to approve that I think | 19:40 |
| seb128 | bcurtiswx, we don't plan to update GNOME this cycle | 19:41 |
| seb128 | bcurtiswx, we will get GNOME3 over 2 cycles | 19:41 |
| seb128 | bcurtiswx, we will take empathy later on if they clarify they will not require gtk3 | 19:41 |
| dobey | seb128, fta: thanks, it at least put me in the right place to look to do it for my python package :) | 19:42 |
| bcurtiswx | seb128: OK, hmm. Thx. Maybe I'll learn to package from a source build and provide empathy for those interested in a PPA until it requires GTK3 | 19:45 |
| seb128 | bcurtiswx, isn't the empathy team doing that? | 19:45 |
| bcurtiswx | seb128: the telepathy team you mean.. right? | 19:45 |
| bcurtiswx | seb128: the telepathy team has a PPA, yes. | 19:46 |
| seb128 | isn't that the same team? | 19:46 |
| seb128 | but right, them | 19:46 |
| bcurtiswx | seb128: yeah, i guess i never heard it referred specifically as the empathy team.. but its the same.. | 19:46 |
| seb128 | I think they will do 2.31 builds if we don't | 19:46 |
| baptistemm_ | hi there | 19:53 |
| baptistemm_ | pedro_, hi, could you renew my membership to ubuntu-bugcontrol ? | 19:54 |
| pedro_ | baptistemm_, hey, yes let me have a look | 19:55 |
| baptistemm_ | when you have time | 19:55 |
| pedro_ | baptistemm_, renewed | 19:56 |
| baptistemm_ | thanks a lot | 19:57 |
| pedro_ | you're welcome | 19:57 |
| dobey | why the heck is my clock applet freezing | 20:01 |
| bcurtiswx | local temporal anomoly in subspace? | 20:05 |
| bcurtiswx | </being a goof> | 20:05 |
| LaserJock | didrocks: is there a particular reason why the UNE PPA has a newer Qt? | 20:07 |
| didrocks | LaserJock: it's for the appmenu testing | 20:10 |
| LaserJock | I see | 20:11 |
| LaserJock | didrocks: geeze, it's almost impossible to "uninstall" Unity on lucid | 20:21 |
| didrocks | LaserJock: what do you mean? you have to downgrade the upgraded package, and remove unity packages, isn't it? | 20:23 |
| LaserJock | yeah, but it won't downgrade | 20:24 |
| LaserJock | too many interdependencies that want to wipe out all of gtk | 20:24 |
| LaserJock | it must be the "transition" plan for the new world order ;-) | 20:25 |
| didrocks | LaserJock: well, the appmenu things brings a lot, right :-) | 20:25 |
| LaserJock | perhaps it should have its own PPA | 20:25 |
| didrocks | but apt-cache policy and apt-get install lib=<…> FTW :) | 20:25 |
| didrocks | we discussed that a lot, but we think that people wanting to test should have the full maverick experience | 20:26 |
| didrocks | (an easy way to get it) | 20:26 |
| jcastro | LaserJock: I should make a note in the wiki about that. | 20:27 |
| didrocks | jcastro: some big red blinking warning? :) | 20:28 |
| LaserJock | from that PPA I have 129 .debs listed | 20:28 |
| LaserJock | that's a rather large PPA | 20:28 |
| bcurtiswx | seb128: Zdra in #empathy on gimpnet says he doesn't think they will require gtk3.0 this cycle | 20:29 |
| didrocks | 129? | 20:29 |
| didrocks | yeah, but there are binary one whith different version | 20:29 |
| didrocks | oh qt… | 20:29 |
| didrocks | maybe it has a lot of packages | 20:29 |
| bcurtiswx | seb128: but its my word, idk what you would need to make desktop team feel better about including empathy this cycle | 20:29 |
| didrocks | LaserJock: right, qt ones have a lot, so if you have a qt app, it will upgrade a lot | 20:30 |
| didrocks | (away for half an hour, bbiab) | 20:30 |
| bcurtiswx | cya didrocks | 20:30 |
| didrocks | cia bcurtiswx | 20:30 |
| jcastro | LaserJock: didrocks: how's this? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Unity | 20:32 |
| jcastro | oops, pages->packages | 20:33 |
| didrocks | jcastro: sounds great :) | 20:33 |
| LaserJock | jcastro: I guess that'd work | 20:34 |
| didrocks | the missing script is really a script to "clean" from a ppa for you, as xorg-edgers have. But as we don't really support downgrading, it should work for most cases | 20:34 |
| LaserJock | I had to do: sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf=2.20.1-0ubuntu1 libgail-common=2.20.1-0ubuntu1 libgail18=2.20.1-0ubuntu1 libgtk2.0-0=2.20.1-0ubuntu1 libgtk2.0-dev=2.20.1-0ubuntu1 | 20:34 |
| didrocks | but we can still have cornercases where the behavior isn't exactly the same | 20:34 |
| LaserJock | the rest I could remove/downgrade OK in synaptic | 20:34 |
| didrocks | LaserJock: right, you can't say "for this source package, downgrade all binary ones to <version>" | 20:35 |
| didrocks | that would be sweet as well :) | 20:35 |
| LaserJock | normally I use synaptic | 20:35 |
| LaserJock | but it wouldn't let me do those at the same time | 20:35 |
| didrocks | I don't really know how that works with synaptic TBH | 20:35 |
| didrocks | ok | 20:35 |
| LaserJock | I didn't know you could do = with apt | 20:36 |
| didrocks | well, now you know :) | 20:36 |
| didrocks | (really away now) | 20:36 |
| Zdra | bcurtiswx, seb128: Unless something force us to use gtk3.0 (which I doubt since libunique is going to be ported) I don't think we'll hard-dep on gtk3 | 20:42 |
| Zdra | IMO being shipped in ubuntu is by many order of amplitude more important for us than requiring gtk3 | 20:43 |
| bcurtiswx | :) | 20:44 |
| seb128 | Zdra, thanks | 20:46 |
| seb128 | Zdra, I think we will update, if you really needs to depends on gtk3 we will figure what to do | 20:46 |
| seb128 | Zdra, we can distro change to not require gtk3 or you can keep ifdef in the code maybe for this cycle | 20:47 |
| Zdra | seb128, maybe wait for cassidy's confirmation as he is maintainer, but I think he agree with me on this :) | 20:47 |
| seb128 | right | 20:47 |
| seb128 | there is no hurry for it | 20:47 |
| Zdra | since today we dep on gtk 2.21.2 and we build with GSeal and everything | 20:47 |
| Zdra | so we should be gtk3-ready :p | 20:48 |
| Zdra | once all our deps get ported too | 20:48 |
| seb128 | Zdra, right | 20:50 |
| TheMuso | Good morning. | 23:09 |
| RAOF | TheMuso: Good early morning! | 23:33 |
| TheMuso | Indeed. Tis a lovely morning here in Sydney. | 23:36 |
| RAOF | It's quite cold here (2℃, apparently). | 23:42 |
| RAOF | Hm. Time to shift locations. Apparently the electricians will want to be pulling the power up and down a lot today.v | 23:42 |
| TheMuso | heh | 23:51 |
