robert-ancellRAOF, I just dis-upgraded and my video is broken, any ideas?01:04
=== fta_ is now known as fta
RAOFrobert_ancell: What card?01:25
RAOFAlso, urgh.01:25
* RAOF was just about to break his video in the interests of science.01:26
RAOFAlso, “broken”? :)01:26
desrtRAOF: smoke is coming out01:26
RAOFUnlikely to be my fault, then :)01:27
robert_ancellRAOF, black screen on bootup.  Can see mode changes but doesn't seem to be working01:27
robert_ancellRAOF, I'm running now in vesa01:27
robert_ancellVGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M92 [Mobility Radeon HD 4500 Series]01:27
* RAOF shall plug in his ATI-using system and see.01:28
RAOFDid you try disabling kernel modesetting?01:28
robert_ancelldesrt, hey, how are you01:29
robert_ancellRAOF, no01:29
RAOFWere you on Lucid before, or is this the recent upgrade to radeon 6.13?01:29
desrtrobert_ancell: sickly lately :/01:29
robert_ancellRAOF, on maverick, been dist-upgrading each day01:30
desrtmostly working on things that don't require too much thinking01:30
desrtglib cleanups, etc01:30
robert_ancelldesrt, :)01:30
desrtjust about to crack open the dconf shm problem again though01:30
robert_ancellRAOF, what is the command to disable KMS?01:30
desrtgonna get it licked this time, i think01:30
RAOFrobert_ancell: Pass “nomodeset” to the kernel from grub.01:30
robert_ancelldesrt, hey, do you know the story with the latest glib, it says in the NEWS that it has API breaks that "require a new GTK+".  i.e. do I need to upgrade GTK+ to make it work together?01:32
desrtyes01:32
desrtmclasen dropped a new gtk today01:32
desrtit only affects GtkApplication01:33
desrtso if you're running pre-GtkApplication gtk then you need not do anything01:33
robert_ancelldesrt, oh, that explains why my system has not melted down :)01:33
robert_ancellRAOF, I'll try when I get a chance to restart01:33
robert_ancellls01:33
desrti change some GVariant API01:33
robert_ancelldesrt, also, did the latest dconf intentionally reduce the gio requirement?01:34
desrtno.01:34
* RAOF goes back to breaking his video.01:34
robert_ancellit went 2.25.10->2.23.1001:34
desrtoops :)01:34
desrtsomeone sent some configure.in fixups01:34
desrti committed them almost without looking01:34
robert_ancellheh01:35
desrterm01:35
desrtactually, i just screwed up01:35
desrtentirely my fault01:35
desrtit wasn't part of that patch01:35
robert_ancelldconf-editor is now not completely broken in this release!01:35
desrtya01:35
desrtthat's one of the reasons i did the release01:35
desrtseb mentioned it :p01:36
TheMusoWoohoo! Cally finally a part of clutter!01:36
robert_ancellheh, learning vala and battling GtkTreeModel is a dangerous combination01:36
robert_ancellTheMuso, nice!01:36
desrtyou should have used libmodel :)01:36
robert_ancelldesrt, yeah, didn't think of that01:36
desrtbtw01:37
desrtwhat's the story with gee?01:37
desrtsome people have complained about that01:37
robert_ancelldesrt, we could remove it.  They're just nicer collections than the GLib ones.01:37
desrtah01:37
desrtwell, no panic or anything01:37
desrtstill a lot of time left in this cycle :)01:38
robert_ancellvala and gee seem to go together01:38
desrtbtw01:40
desrti wondered if you considered making the editor more schema-oriented01:40
desrtmaybe even using the gsettings API01:40
robert_ancelldesrt, I totally think it should be gsettings....01:42
desrtwith some recent gsettings API changes it should be possible01:42
desrtyou can enumerate all the keys in a schema and all the installed schemas on the system now01:42
robert_ancelldesrt, the only feature that *may* be useful that gsettings probably wouldn't expose is keys in d-conf without schemas.  But you could have a command line tool to show "orphaned" keys01:42
desrtsome sort of 'cleanup' feature might be neat01:43
robert_ancelldesrt, do you think it should be part of glib or a separate module then?01:43
desrtwell01:43
desrtwe have the commandline tool in glib01:43
desrtobviously we can't have a gtk application there....01:43
robert_ancelltrue01:43
desrtanyway01:44
desrtcould be a really nice UI, i think01:44
desrtvery much nicer than gconf-editor type of thing01:44
desrtwe could even add summary/description for the schemas themselves01:45
* mclasen had thought that putting it in dconf was kinda odd01:45
desrtmclasen: i think of it like the gvfs-* tools being in gvfs...01:45
desrteven though they are really just using gio01:45
mclasenI don't think the gvfs tools are well-placed either01:45
desrtonly other place it could really go is gtk...01:45
mclasenin fact, adding a 'gio' tool has crossed my mind recently01:46
robert_ancellgconf-editor is a separate module currently right?01:46
desrtya01:46
robert_ancellmodules are cheap, we might as well keep it separate01:46
desrtgsettings-editor? :p01:46
robert_ancellmclasen, what sort of gio functions?01:46
desrtmclasen: probably should call it gfile, i guess01:47
desrtotherwise you might give up the game about what  'gio' truly means :)01:47
mclasena single tool that combines gvfs-ls/copy/move/etc01:47
mclasenmaybe gvfs would be the right name01:48
robert_ancellmclasen, like a debug file browser?01:48
=== fta_ is now known as fta
robert_ancellRAOF, works with nomodeset02:14
RAOFrobert_ancell: Did you see cjwatson's post to ubuntu-devel about the recent GRUB modesetting change?  That's a good candidate for testing, too.02:20
robert_ancellRAOF, well, grub works in both cases, so guessing not the issue?02:21
RAOFIt could be - grub's now not switching the display into text mode before launching the kernel - this could possibly be freaking out the radeon module.02:22
robert_ancellah02:23
RAOFWhich causes vesafb to kick in, which _shouldn't_ cause problems.  If all goes well… :)02:24

robert_ancellRAOF, what authorizations does out X server support?04:24
robert_ancellour04:24
RAOFUm.  The standard ones, IIRC.  I don't think we set anything fancy.\04:25
robert_ancellRAOF, and the standard ones are?  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 and ?04:25
=== fta_ is now known as fta
RAOFman Xsecurity suggests XDM-AUTHORISATION-1 and SUN-DES-104:27
RAOFWell, and host-based security.04:29
RAOFI'm pretty sure there's an SHA based one, too.  Hm.04:29
* TheMuso is setting up VMs atm, and looks forward to the day that vmgl is properly supported in kvm, and integrated everywhere. :)04:29
robert_ancellRAOF, ta04:30
RAOFTheMuso: KVM should kinda almost mostly support vmwgfx, too.04:30
RAOFAlthough we don't build either the X 2d driver nor the 3D state tracker for it.04:30
TheMusoRAOF: It does, but you need a patched VNC, and the SDL viewer is not yet supported.04:30
RAOFYou're obviously better informed than me then.  Go about your business ;)04:31
TheMusogrrr. Something going on with GTK apps and focus, particularly to do with accessibility.04:31

* TheMuso was just reading up on vmgl, since I'm setting up some VMs. I've also fallen in love with virt-manager.04:32
RAOFvirt-manager rocks.04:33
TheMusoOnly thing thats slightly cumbersome is setting up storage via virt-manager.04:34
TheMusorobert_ancell: How are you finding your new found freedom? :)04:51
robert_ancellTheMuso, freedom?04:52
TheMusorobert_ancell: freedom to upload your own changes without needing a sponsor./04:52
TheMusoi.e core-dev04:52
robert_ancellTheMuso, oh, it's nice :)04:53
TheMusoYeah I felt the same for a while after getting core-dev myself.04:54
robert_ancell"for a while"04:59

pittiGood morning05:25
TheMusoMorning pitti.05:26
TheMusoWhats the weather like in Europe these days?05:26
RAOFHowdie, pitti.  Looks like that makes it lunch time!05:26
pittiTheMuso: like ice cream and sunburn05:26
pittiTheMuso: it keeps being > 30 degrees05:27
pittihey RAOF05:27
tremoluxor, sleep time!  ;)05:27
* TheMuso wonders whether Prague is getting similar weather...05:27
tremoluxhi pitti, hey folks05:27
pittiTheMuso: probably; it might all be different next week, of course05:27
pittiTheMuso: we have had this heat for over two weeks, time for a change05:27
TheMusoyeah such is weather.05:27
pittihey tremolux05:27
pittibut oh well, we'll be stuck in the climatized hotel most of the time anyway05:28

and471morning all08:19
and471mvo, here is your dialog :) http://imagebin.ca/img/43PZ2w.png08:19
mvogood morning and47108:20
mvoand471: *nice*08:20
and471mvo, :)08:20
mvo\o/08:20
and471mvo, there are 3 issues I need to discuss08:20
and471mvo, first, the ubuntu logo is not from the 'distributor_icon' gtk icon, it is one I downloaded off of design.canonical.com08:21
and471mvo, I feel it needs to be used instead of the humanity styled one, as it needs to be 'official' as you are giving away you uname and password08:21
and471mvo, this means if no other package does, we need to ship it with software-center08:22
mvothat is ok, its currently a ubuntu only feature anyway08:22
and471mvo, we could also speak to vish about this when he gets on, to see if humanity can ship it, but with a different name08:22
and471mvo, cool08:22
and471mvo, second issue08:22
and471mvo, in these mockup, you can see what mpt plans for the bottom of the dialog08:23
and471https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=review-single-sign-on-offline.jpg08:23
and471however the hbuttonbox at the bottom of the dialog means that if we put that in, it looks all funny08:23
* mvo nods08:24
mvoit would be nice to have something there, showing e.g. a spinner while trying to connect08:24
didrocksgood morning and471, mvo08:24
and471mvo, http://imagebin.ca/img/av-rFD.png08:24
and471didrocks, morning08:24
mvoinstead of what we do now iirc to just make the dialog vanish08:24
mvohey didrocks08:24
and471mvo, see the buttonbox makes all children homogeneous and it looks silly08:24
and471(for lack of a better adjective)08:25
mvoand471: maybe we just get rid of the hbuttonbox and use a nomal hbox?08:25
mvosilly is the perfect word to describe it :P08:25
and471mvo, unforntunately in glade we can't delete it08:25
and471"You cannot remove a widget internal to a composite widget."08:25
mvo*grumpf* silly glade!08:25
and471mvo, yup08:25
and471mvo, I can delete the action area (hbuttonbox) in pygtk08:26
and471mvo, but then I don't know how to add a hbox in its place08:26
and471mvo, though I haven't played for it that long so if may be possible08:26
mvoand471: I guess removing the dialog_action-area_login and just adding a new hbox should work08:28
and471mvo ah wait a min, I think I have it..08:28
mvoand471: cool08:28
and471mvo, okay I can see how to do it now, I assumed the hbuttonbox was a direct child of the dialog, and so there was no way to pack_start, but there is a vbox between it and the dialog and so it is possible (ignore my ramblings :D)08:30
and471mvo, okay the third issue, which is really just a matter of opinion08:31
and471mvo, the dialog needs to find out if the user has an internet connection, would the best way to do this be a dbus call to network-manager?08:31
mvoand471: yes, NM should be the authority on this now08:33
and471mvo, ok08:33
mvoand471: the very best is to download a known (tiny) bit of text from a known url08:33
and471well I shall get to work08:33
mvoand471: this has the advantage that we also figure out if people are behind a pay-wall (e.g. in a hotel)08:33
mvoand471: I think ev from #ubuntu-devel discussed setting up such a service in the past08:34
and471mvo, I don't if that applies though becuase there is one state if there is no internet connection, and then another if the server can't be contacted08:34
mvoaha, ok08:34
mvoyeah, then NM should be good08:35
and471mvo, otherwise we could me telling the user there is no internet connection, when there is one configured is network-manager - that really annoys me :)08:35
and471mvo, okay then, thanks for the advice and I shall get to work08:35
mvothanks a bunch and47108:35
and471np08:35
didrocksmvo: do you think that ViewManager should create item groups and enable sorting them by group (not particularly related to a node, but groups)?08:35
mvodidrocks: do you have a example?08:38
didrocksmvo: well, oneconf will use that, for instance, when adding new computers, I think it will be good to sort them by name (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=installed-software-computers.jpg)08:39
didrocksso the case is:08:39
didrocks- adding items after Installed Softwares (hence the idea of placeholder)08:39
didrocks- sort them in alphabetical order08:40
didrocks- some can be added/removed during USC lifetime08:40
mvodidrocks: aha, thanks. it sounds like we want a ViewGroup or something, but that gets a bit over-engineered for the ~5 computers that people have max :)08:45
mvodidrocks: maybe register_view(insert_before=None, insert_after=None, sort=True)?08:46
mvodidrocks: then the view can put it into (after, before) ?08:46
didrocksmvo: so, you have to get the before viewid, even for generic items08:46
didrockslike Installed software08:46
didrocksand we remove placeholder08:46
* mvo scratches head08:49
mvoits anoying for you to get the installed software viewid, right?08:49
mvoeasiest would be to default to the last element :) but then the spec says something different08:49
asacdidrocks: could you poke debian to take a look at http://bugs.debian.org/588244?08:50
asacits really painful for us to maintain this in a ppa as it constantly gets superseded ;)08:50
asacor let us upload to archive08:50
asacthx08:51
didrocksmvo: we can maybe, in refactoring the code, instead of using range(6) to generate viewid for generic items, and get them in plugins?08:51
didrocksasac: no pb, I can try to ping them. But I was thinking that alf__ talked to the DD?08:51
mvodidrocks: absolutely, that is the plan, see lp:~mvo/software-center/viewmanager for a start, but its definitely planed to not have the (ugly) range() left after the viewmanager is in :)08:52
mvodidrocks: unfortunately the branch is very very empty08:52
mvodidrocks: just the bits from the etherpad page08:52
asacdidrocks: not sure. the bug didnt get any attention for a week ;)08:52
alf__didrocks: My emails have been ignored and kov in debian-gnome said he could not make that decision, so I opened debian #58824408:52
ubot2Debian bug 588244 in clutter-1.0 "Clutter eglx packaging" [Wishlist,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/58824408:52
didrocksmvo: so, if I can import the generate viewid in a dict from USC, I'm happy with it08:52
mvook08:52
didrocksalf__: asac: apart from kov, I don't have any other clutter debian guys connexion…08:53
asacif debian isnt cooperative we have to upload it to ubuntu.08:53
didrocksmvo: ok, sounds good with insert_after and insert_before so, and let's forget the placeholder08:53
asacok08:53
asacwe wait one or two more days08:53
didrocksasac: I won't do the merge in ubuntu afterwards, I'll let that to you guys :)08:54
mvodidrocks: ok, cool08:54
mvothanks didrocks!08:54
didrocksmvo: you're welcome, thanks for the work on it :)08:54
and471mvo, off the top of your head, do you know what the propertyname is in pygtk that is "padding" in glade?08:55
mvoand471: iirc its set_padding()08:55
and471mvo, thanks08:56
and471mvo, err it isn't, thanks anyway, I shall find out08:56
asacdidrocks: guess thats probalby fine then. though unfortunate of course09:00
asacwhat team is maintaining clutter in debian?09:00
didrocksasac: debian-gnome, hence the ping to kov09:01
asacalf__: did kov say who could make a decision?09:01
* asac poinged kov ... lets hope he isnt unhappy about getting pings from all sides ;)09:03
alf__asac: No, just that he couldn't do it09:03

ftasince the last update (maverick), if i put the mouse cursor above any gtk window, it starts blinking like hell and the cpu sky rockets (the app, Xorg, the w-m)09:27
ftaand the cursor disappears after a few secs on other non-gtk windows (like regular xterms)09:29
seb128fta, try stopping unclutter?09:31
seb128fta, what did you upgrade in that upgrade round?09:31
ftaseb128, kill? or is there a pref somewhere?09:32

seb128you can probably add a comment there and open a bug against unclutter if there is not already one09:36

and471mvo, I went a bit dialog crazy and so I have transferred two dialogs (dependency alert when removing and a broken apt cache) into a glade file16:36
and471mvo, I have made them comply with the spec, but I can't test them easily, is there an easy way to do this?16:36
=== mpt_ is now known as mpt
mvoand471: cool16:46
mvoand471: yeah, you can test the broken cache by e.g. installing "4g8" that has a libnet1 dependency. if you then run "sudo dpkg -r --force-depends libnet1" you get broken dependencies16:47
mvoand471: so the broken apt cache dialog16:47
mvoand471: for removing you can install 7zip and then remove it again, it has a rdepends on file-roller16:47
mvoand471: and push your code ;)16:48
and471mvo, cool16:48
mvoso that I can merge it16:48
and471thanks16:48
and471mvo, well it is not quite finished yet but when it is, I shall16:48
mvothanks \o/16:48
and471mvo, I am not confident on dbus and I need for the login dialog to connect to network-manager's dbus and connect a callback to a signal16:48
and471mvo, if I put all the code in place, when I push, can you write this code?16:49
and471(all the GUI code that is, then you write in the dbus stuff)16:49
and471mvo, in the login backend, what does the signal need-username-password signify?16:55
mvoand471: need-username-passowrd means, that the UI should make the passowrd fields sensitive, it may have stored credentials. in this case the user does not have to enter something16:56
* gicmo pokes mvo16:56
mvohey gicmo16:57
and471mvo, is there a signal to say that the username and password are not correct, this should be different from when SC cannot contact the server16:58
gicmomvo, how is it going?17:00
mvogicmo: hungry, its almost dinner time for me :)17:01
mvogicmo: and you?17:01
mvoand471: I think currently there is only login-failure17:01
mvoand471: best is to extend that to login-connection-refused or somesuch17:01
mvoand471: but I gtg (dinner time)17:01
and471mvo, ok, I shall put in the neccessary GUI code but comment it out17:02
and471mvo, cool see ya17:02
mvoand471: cool, looking forward to that branch :)17:02
and471:)17:02
gicmomvo, pretty busy17:02
gicmonot much fun hacking these days17:02
gicmobut lots of interesting neuroscience things coming up ;-)17:03
mvogicmo: oh, i see - cool stuff!17:05
gicmomvo, yeah, but lots of new stuff as well so learning, learning .. ;-)17:07
and471mpt, am I correct in assuming in this dialog https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=review-single-sign-on.jpg unless the radiobutton selected is the first one, that the status stuff in the bottom-left hand corner doesn't need to change ?17:21
mptand471, no, there'd still be "Not connected to the Internet" sometimes17:22
and471mpt, yeah okay apart from that17:22
mptbecause you need an Internet connection to do either registration or password recovery17:22
and471mpt, no like 'opening your web browser'17:23
and471.. to register/to recover password17:23

=== al-maisan is now known as almaisan-away
mptand471, I don't know17:27
mptI hadn't thought about that before17:27
and471mpt, ( :-017:27
mptI suppose if the registration or recovery is happening in a Web browser, USC has no idea when you've finished17:28
and471mpt, it doesn't really matter from coding point of view17:28
mptor whether you gave up17:28
and471mpt, I was just asking quickly17:28
mptyeah, but it matters for the design17:28
and471mpt, true, I don't think it could find out17:28
mptand471, so, how about this:17:29
and471mpt, the reason I thought about it, is that firefox lags behind when I open it afresh17:29
and471mpt, and so the user might be wondering what is happeninf17:29
and471*happening17:29
* and471 is listening intently17:29
mptwhen you click "Continue" in either of those last two cases, you get a spinner and "Opening browser…" for five seconds17:29
mptThe browser opens, hopefully in front17:29
seb128hey there17:30

kenvandinesure17:33
kenvandinefor OLS, they think the desktop client for single signon is going to slip17:33
kenvandineso if anyone is depending on that, now is the time to yell :)17:33
kenvandineand for DX we plan to disable the duplicate menus for appmenu this week17:33
kenvandineif we get a fix for mutter causing the submenu problem17:34

kenvandineyeah, quite a few17:35
kenvandineweekly updates of u1 client17:35
kenvandineand a couple other packages17:35
seb128oh right17:35
=== warp10 is now known as warp10-captato
seb128you don't upload those nowadays so I didn't count them for some reason17:36
kenvandinethe biggest thing coming is some file sync changes17:36
seb128I did notice the "ubuntuone is disabled" on every nautilus dialog I have though17:36
kenvandineyeah :)17:36
kenvandinethat is terrible17:36
kenvandinethey are working on that17:36
kenvandinethat means that folder isn't syncing... which is confusing17:36
seb128ok17:36
kenvandinethey are changing the text17:36
kenvandinedon't click enable :)17:36
seb128;-)17:37
* kenvandine did that on his ~/Downloads folder17:37
seb128ok, thanks kenvandine17:37
chrisccoulsonkenvandine, too late for me too17:37
kenvandine2G of junk i don't care about17:37
chrisccoulsoni clicked enable on the folder where i have all my source pacakges, and now i just ended up having to purge U1 ;)17:37
seb128other questions for kenvandine?17:38
seb128ok, seems not, thanks kenvandine17:38
seb128Riddell, hey, how was akademy?17:38
Riddelllovely17:39
seb128nice ;-)17:39
Riddelllots of useful talks, sessions, discussions etc,17:39
Riddellmobile a big theme not surprisingly17:39
seb128right17:39
RiddellKDE SC 4.5 RC 2 got packaged in my absence17:39
seb128and out of akademy, what's new in kubuntu? ;-)17:39
seb128I noticed, nice!17:39
RiddellKDE PIM doesn't seem like it'll get updated to 4.5 in time for maverick, we'll stick with 4.4 I expect17:40
seb128ok17:40
Riddellwe have some further shuffling to do with the Qt packages, QtMultimedia into qt-mobility and QtWebkit needs synced with Debian which means all the rdepends will need a rebuild17:40
Riddellalso Qt isn't building on ARM, needs doko to look at the ICE in that compile17:41
Riddellalthough on that topic NCommander ran a good session about KDE on ARM at Akademy17:41
seb128I guess you will probably be able to grab doko directly next week if required ;-)17:41
Riddellyes, good idea17:41
seb128Riddell, ok, anything else?17:42
Riddellwe gave out 2000 CDs and about the same number of pens which was well received17:43
Riddellthat's all :)17:43
seb128impressive number of CDs ;-)17:43

tremoluxright17:47
tremoluxwe actually should hide that panel when it is empty17:48
tremoluxI'll make a note to make that fix for the next release17:48

and471vish, the ubunut logo is used here as it has to be official, they are giving away their uname and password18:06

and471vish, we can just ship this icon in SC, but I don't feel that is useful to the OS18:07

kenvandineom26er, gwibber-service shouldn't depend on gwibber21:02
kenvandinethat would be circular21:02
om26erkenvandine, people remove gwibber but still recieve notifications21:02
chrisccoulsonom26er, that's not a good reason to add a dependency (and is not what depenendencies are for). Package A should only depend on package B if package A does not function without package B21:10
chrisccoulsonthat clearly is not the case21:10
kenvandineom26er, yeah they should disable notifications in that case21:10
om26erchrisccoulson, thats also the case.21:10

chrisccoulsona dependency there is inappropriate21:11
kenvandinethat is a real bug, the public lib provided by gwibber-service shouldn't import from something provided by gwibber21:11
kenvandineom26er, so we just need to fix that21:11
kenvandinebut that doesn't break the service... just things that import that library outside of gwibber21:12

kenvandineand in lucid-proposed21:34
* tedg checks if I have proposed21:35
kenvandinetedg, that won't make facebook magically not reject your queries... but the more people we get using the non-spamming version the sooner we get back under our allocation21:35
jcastrotedg: they throttle per-app, not per user21:35
kenvandineour number of rejected requests has actually gone down a little since last week..21:36
kenvandineso there must be more people using propsed that i thought :)21:36
tedgkenvandine, Yeah, I realize.  I just want to be one of those "good guy" types ;)21:36
kenvandineit is still over 10M though21:36
kenvandinetedg, indeed... we all appreciate it21:36
* kenvandine is using a different API key now :-D21:36
tedgkenvandine, You're on maverick, right?  What xulrunner do you have?21:37
kenvandinebut that was out of desparation... sure is hard to collect statistics when facebook kept rejecting me21:37
kenvandine1.9.2.7+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu121:37
tedgkenvandine, Do you by chance know if we're going to go to 1.9.3?21:39
=== almaisan-away is now known as al-maisan
chrisccoulsontedg - that will never happen, there is no such thing now21:52
chrisccoulson1.9.3 is renamed 2.0 now, which will become FF4.021:52
tedgchrisccoulson, Ah, okay.21:52
chrisccoulsonmaverick will release with xul1.9.2/FF3.621:52
tedgchrisccoulson, Would you consider merging this changeset?  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31134021:53
ubot2Mozilla bug 311340 in Widget: Gtk "Clipboard data is lost on exit (Should implement the freedesktop.org specification for clipboard management)" [Normal,Resolved: fixed]21:53
tedgchrisccoulson, It's committed, but not in the 1.9.2 release.21:54
chrisccoulsontedg - we prefer not to do that, but rather get them to merge it in to 1.9.221:54
chrisccoulsonthat's possible with a lot of fixes once they have some testing21:54
tedgchrisccoulson, Oh, so they'll release something like a 1.9.2.x ?21:54
chrisccoulsonand that looks like a good candidate for that21:55
micahgchrisccoulson: they don't seem to want it on 1.9.2, but I can request approval21:55
chrisccoulsontedg - yeah, we get 1.9.2.x releases every few weeks or so21:55
tedgchrisccoulson, micahg, The reason is that aganice is helping with a GSoC project to maintain clipboards.  So that is one patch we'd like to get in as part of that project.21:56
tedgShe's tested the patch and it does seem to fix the issue.21:56
micahgtedg: she tested it on xul192?21:57
tedgmicahg, I don't think so, I think she grabbed the new one.  aganice?21:57
aganicemicahg, no, all i tested was that firefox 4 beta, which has the patch, no longer exhibits the problem21:57
aganicemicahg, i could definitely figure out how to apply that patch to 1.9.2 and test if it might be worth applying as a ubuntu-specific patch21:58
micahgaganice: we can't do Ubuntu specific patches for Firefox without upstream approval21:59
tedgmicahg, Do you think there's a good chance with that one?  Since it's already in trunk?22:01
micahgtedg: seems kinda big to take on branch, that's probably why they didn't originally plan to take it22:02
tedgmicahg, Does asking cost us anything?  I mean, it is a pretty annoying bug that does really effect users.22:03
micahgtedg: I'm checking now to see if it applies to 3.6.7 cleanly, if yes, I'll request landing, doesn't really hurt to ask especially since it's an annoyance22:04
tedgGreat, thanks micahg!22:05
=== al-maisan is now known as almaisan-away
micahgtedg: one hunk of the patch is really off, I don't think they'll take the patch on branch, I can ask upstream if they'd consider a revised version for branch landing22:17
tedgmicahg, Yeah, maybe if we could ask informally if it'd be worth back porting.22:18
tedgmicahg, That way we don't get tied up in process.22:18
micahgtedg: k, I'll try to let you know tomorrow22:19
tedgmicahg, Cool, thanks!22:19
lamalexwe can't do our own firefox patches?? what?22:21
micahglamalex: correct due to the nature of the branding, hence Debian has iceweasel22:21
