OwaisLHey guys, I'm writing a gmail notifier and I want it to open Evolution or Thunderbird to open for reading new emails.00:25
OwaisLHow can I launch the default email client from Python?00:26
OwaisLor How do I know what the default mail client is?00:26
OwaisLall right00:28
OwaisLi just struck an idea00:28
OwaisLchecking gconf... but hey it has evolution as default calender.. is that always the same as the email client?00:29
lamalexOwaisL: there's already an evolution notifier, seems like a gmail notifier should take you to gmail00:29
OwaisLWell, yeah...but what if someone doesn't want evolution to run all the time OR runs some other mail client which doesn't have a notifier.00:30
OwaisLstill, your argument has good reason, i'll think about it.00:31
OwaisLBUT00:31
OwaisLI would still like to know how it can be done.. just curious00:31
lamalexi do think there's a gconf key00:34

chrisccoulsonbah, what keeps spawning ubuntuone-syncdaemon in maverick?01:32
chrisccoulsoni need it to stop so i can use my laptop :)01:33
* TheMuso has it running here as well.01:38
chrisccoulsonah, it's nautilus01:39
chrisccoulsonmy machine just grinds to a halt with u1 running :(01:39
TheMusothings seem to be alright here, although switching between terminal tabs is slow01:41
chrisccoulsonchmod 0 /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0/libnautilus-ubuntuone.so - problem solved :)01:41
chrisccoulsonpeople have been complaining that firefox is unusable in maverick because it keeps locking up for long periods at a time, and i'm wondering if this is the problem....01:42

pittiSpain had pretty much perfect technique yesterday; seems our guys were very itchy, they did one error after the other08:46

seb128you mean?10:38
seb128oh, while it's loading10:38
pittiyes10:38
seb128it's libstartupnotify10:38
pittiit doesn't happen when I run the program on the command line10:38
pittijust through the menus10:38
seb128libstartup-notification010:38
seb128well the desktops have a startup notification flag10:39
pitti(program in question is Thunar, but I think it's a generic mechanism)10:39
seb128and gnome-desktop use that when running those10:39
seb128vuntz would know better10:39
pittiseb128: thanks; seems that's also used by XFCE indeed10:40
pittiI get the effect in both xfce and gnome10:40
* pitti hugs seb128, cheers10:40

=== MacSlow is now known as MacSlow|lunch
pittiseb128: no, I just found out that libstartupnotify doesn't work the way thunar-settings is using it12:40
pittiso a proper solution would be to have Thunar use sn, but until then I just disabled the StartupNotification flag; let's see what the upstream guys say12:40

davmor2mvo: is update manager still your baby?  If so is there any reason why on Maverick I have to type in my password to allow check and then again to allow download and installation?14:59
mvodavmor2: the reason is that we moved to the aptdaemon backend by default, but yeah, its not great for usability15:00
mvodavmor2: I will discuss a better way with glatzor (aptdaemon upstream)15:01
davmor2mvo: is there a bug for it or would you like me to write one?15:01

qenseLaney: Do you know what version of GTK# will be included in Maverick? Specifically the GAPI2 components, since the trunk contains an update for it that adds support for GObject virtual methods, which is something we need to get the fallback and unfallback functions of libappindicator to be properly supported in Mono as well. (Currently you can't do custom fallbacks in C#).16:36
Laneyqense: Are upstream going to do a release?16:38
Laneyif so, that16:38

qenseLaney: I'm sorry, I'll have to check if the new stuff we need is already in that release. Sorry for bothering you. :)16:41

seb128om26er, no18:09
seb128or not decided18:09
seb128but we will not ship GNOME3 nor gtk3 by default18:09
seb128why?18:09
=== fta_ is now known as fta
om26erseb128, evolution 3.0 might be better for netbooks. (atleast the upstreamers think that)18:21
seb128om26er, didrocks backported the express changes to our version so it's nice on UNE18:24

seb128I ran gsettings-data-convert for the first time19:03
seb128which followed by an apport report19:03
desrtooo19:03
desrtyou just solved the problem for me :)19:03
seb128?19:03
desrtthis problem was reported before by someone who insisted that they were asbolutely not using delayed-apply19:04
desrtbut it was their schema19:04
desrtand the stack trace suggested delayed apply was being used19:04
desrtbut they insisted not19:04
desrtso it was very confusing19:04
desrtgsettings-data-convert answers the problem, obviously19:04
desrti bet it does delayed apply19:04

mclasenand I'll let the url-handler thing simmer for another release19:07
desrtwe will need a gtk release to drop at the same time19:07
