| JoeCoolNetbook1 | Can I make a suggestion about the top panel's UI? | 04:09 |
| ion | Sure. Of course, if you make it here, it’ll get lost in the noise. | 04:10 |
| JoeCoolNetbook1 | Where can I go so it'll actually get discussed on, etc, ion? | 04:11 |
| persia | That's tricky. | 04:11 |
| persia | brainstorm is probably best for discussion. | 04:11 |
| micahg | !brainstorm | JoeCoolNetbook1 | 04:11 |
| ubottu | JoeCoolNetbook1: Post your ideas for Ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like! | 04:11 |
| persia | A bug with a technical solution is probably best for implementation. | 04:11 |
| JoeCoolNetbook1 | It's pretty simple. If you have Wireless and Bluetooth, to disable or enable the wireless radios, you have to right click on the icon, to disable or enable the bluetooh radios, you have to Left click on the icon. | 04:12 |
| JoeCoolNetbook1 | It's inconsistent. | 04:12 |
| persia | Oh. I think there's already a bug about that. | 04:13 |
| persia | Something about replacing nm-applet with something indicatory | 04:13 |
| RAOF | Yeah, that's nm-applet being a notification area icon, rather than an indicator. | 04:13 |
| persia | JoeCoolNetbook1, Currently, it's possible to make them consistent with right-click, but not in a harmonious colour scheme without extra work. | 04:14 |
| persia | But it's very likely to end up being consistent left-click for Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Netbook. | 04:15 |
| JoeCoolNetbook1 | Can I vote on it? | 04:15 |
| RAOF | By and large we don't really prioritise based on voting. | 04:16 |
| RAOF | I'd expect that to be done for Natty, though. | 04:16 |
| JoeCoolNetbook1 | 11.04? | 04:16 |
| RAOF | Yeah. | 04:17 |
| persia | By and large? Do we ever prioritise based on anything approaching voting? | 04:17 |
| RAOF | Bug heat is partially calculated based on voting, and has *some* impact :) | 04:18 |
| RAOF | Brainstorm has voting, and that has occasionally been referenced. | 04:18 |
| persia | Oh. I didn't know any developers looked at that. I suppose there is some means of populist feedback then :) | 04:18 |
| JoeCoolNetbook1 | And another thing, In the Wireless Internet drop-down, there's "Connected" and "available". There are (for me) two sections - Mobile BroadBand and Wireless Networks. | 04:19 |
| RAOF | _I_ generally don't look at brainstorm, but Jorge (at least) does, and that translates into UDS discussions sometimes :) | 04:19 |
| persia | Yeah, that's in dire need of an entire re-think, but it's *hard* | 04:19 |
| JoeCoolNetbook1 | Those two are in Bold, and then there's a subsection of "available" networks, but it looks like a horizontal rule. | 04:19 |
| persia | RAOF, I considered that memetic drift, but yeah, I can see how it might have a vote-based component. | 04:20 |
| JoeCoolNetbook1 | I think that should be switched to where "Mobile Broadband" and "Wireless Networks" are distinct sections with their own horizontal rules, and "avialable" a clear subset, in bold | 04:20 |
| JoeCoolNetbook1 | With indentations of course | 04:20 |
| jcastro | iirc the techboard has a todo to look at as fa as looking at brainstorm proposals | 04:21 |
| persia | jcastro, Yes, but the TB is no longer in charge of setting the UDS agenda (unless I missed something) | 04:22 |
| RAOF | JoeCoolNetbook1: I suspect that we'll be discussing the indicatorfication of network manager at UDS, and that #ayatana (and the mailing list) would be the place to discuss mockups. As persia said, it's hard UI design. | 04:22 |
| JoeCoolNetbook1 | Hard meaning difficult? | 04:23 |
| RAOF | Yeah. | 04:23 |
| * persia mumbles about wired modems, wireless ISDN, PANs, wired networks, packet radio, IrDA, and other means of moving bits) | 04:23 | |
| RAOF | But also in the sense of serious, technical. | 04:23 |
| JoeCoolNetbook1 | I don't know if it's really that difficult. | 04:24 |
| ajmitch | persia: you forgot pigeons | 04:24 |
| persia | Also in the sense of steady, unchangeable: there's huge semantic investment in the current model, which ends up either excluding a lot of use cases *or* becoming quickly unwieldy | 04:25 |
| JoeCoolNetbook1 | It took me a week to figure out how it tried to display hierarchy. Hierarchy should be very obvious and is pretty basic in UI design. | 04:25 |
| persia | ajmitch, I don't know of an implementation of RFC1149 that doesn't involve human operators and standard HID. | 04:25 |
| * persia looks more closely at RFC2549 to see if any new developments reduced the need for HID | 04:26 | |
| RAOF | JoeCoolNetbook1: The difficult part is not so much in finding ways the current UI is sub-optimal; it's in actually finding a *good* UI :) | 04:26 |
| JoeCoolNetbook1 | Anything is better than what it is now, though. | 04:27 |
| JoeCoolNetbook1 | How are things decided on and implemented in Ubuntu? | 04:27 |
| RAOF | That's manifestly not true; that applet is an *improvement* on what came before. | 04:27 |
| RAOF | JoeCoolNetbook1: A small set of stuff is decided at UDS; mostly what gets implemented is what people care enough about to implement. | 04:28 |
| RAOF | (Like all open source) | 04:28 |
| persia | RAOF, I can't agree with that entirely. For Studio it's not used because of the unexpected processor demand profile (although gnome-nettool is even more frightening as an interface) | 04:28 |
| JoeCoolNetbook1 | RAOF, do you have a screenshot of how it was before? | 04:29 |
| persia | Even stuff that gets decided at UDS gets decided because people claim at UDS to care enough to implement it. | 04:29 |
| RAOF | JoeCoolNetbook1: Not off the top of my head, no. | 04:30 |
| RAOF | I'm tautologically surprised nm-applet has an unexpected CPU usage. | 04:31 |
| persia | heh. Anyway, comes from unpredictable environment and failure-recovery modes. gnome-nettool just fails dead until the user does something. | 04:32 |
| persia | Most folk much prefer http://xkcd.com/416/ | 04:34 |
| * ajmitch still has a laptop that has wifi configured manually in /etc/network/interfaces | 04:35 | |
| micahg | wow, I didn''t know Ubuntu made it into xkcd | 04:35 |
| ajmitch | micahg: ubuntu & debian have been mentioned a few times | 04:36 |
| ajmitch | http://xkcd.com/797/ being a nice example :) | 04:36 |
| JoeCoolNetbook1 | I don't think Ubuntu is this niche distro anymore. | 04:37 |
| micahg | ajmitch: heh, yeah, I noticed that one recently | 04:37 |
| JoeCoolNetbook1 | So having something done is a matter of doing it and commiting it into the repository and hoping it doesn't get reverted? | 04:38 |
| RAOF | Mostly, getting something done is a matter of getting it done upstream. | 04:39 |
| RAOF | Although, with an indicator there won't be an existing upstream, so it'd be a matter of writing the code, packaging it up, getting it in the archive, and then getting it installed by default. | 04:40 |
| persia | No need to bother with the last. | 04:42 |
| persia | if it works well, and it's not installed by default, one can still use it. | 04:42 |
| persia | And if it works really well, lots of people will clamour to get it installed by default. | 04:42 |
| RAOF | This is correct. | 04:43 |
| * persia points at the neverending rythymbox vs. banshee vs. available space on a CD debate | 04:43 | |
| RAOF | That would be easy: just ship IronPython instead of cpython! You get banshee *and* pick up some useful CD space :P | 04:45 |
| RAOF | And make some people's heads explode, which is always gratifying. | 04:46 |
| persia | Yeah, but can you do that and have rhythmbox too? | 04:47 |

| pitti | RAOF: ooh, so it's xorg-evdev after all? nice that finally there might be a solution | 07:34 |
| RAOF | pitti: Well, the dude says that it's fixed using the input drivers from xorg-edgers. evdev *does* synthesise button events in some cases, but those none of those codepaths look like they ever send a DOWN without also immediately sending a corresponding UP. | 07:36 |
| RAOF | Having a diff to stare at would be much appreciated, if just the newer -evdev makes it work :) | 07:36 |
| pitti | RAOF: indeed | 07:37 |
| pitti | RAOF: but I now had several people try, and none of them got EV_KEY BTN_* events for those keys | 07:37 |
| pitti | RAOF: is it remotely possible that this interferes with the utouch bits? | 07:37 |
| pitti | they certainly generate events, don't they? | 07:38 |
| RAOF | They do, but they generate special gesture events. | 07:38 |

| pitti | can't say without at least seeing a changelog and a rationale | 13:17 |

| cjwatson | surprisingly, exit does seem to exist at top level, but is undocumented. I think using it is probably bad style | 13:51 |
| cjwatson | the bit that's actually broken is a finally handler. fixing up ... | 13:51 |

| cjwatson | (which open change) | 13:52 |
| lool | cjwatson: No sorry, checked trunk and it's ok | 13:54 |
| cjwatson | ok, I committed fixes as r176 and r177, please double-check? | 13:54 |
| lool | I couldn't find the bug or merge request where I thought we discussed this | 13:54 |
| cjwatson | oh, also, those exception prints should go to stderr not stdout, fixing | 13:54 |
| lool | I remember *not* running merge-o-matic, I only did a patch level review, but I thought I had asked whether he had tested this | 13:54 |
| lool | I wonder if this was over email | 13:54 |
| cjwatson | I must say I don't understand the point of an exception handler that just prints the exception and exits | 13:55 |
| cjwatson | all that does is suppress the traceback | 13:55 |
| cjwatson | which makes it harder to debug problems | 13:55 |
| lool | cjwatson: I agree | 13:56 |
| cjwatson | I suppose if we know what the problem is ... | 13:56 |
| lool | cjwatson: Looked at r177 and 176, looks fine; sorry about that | 13:56 |
| lool | I just can't find where I discussed this branch; it seems there was no merge request for the branch, so it seems like a lesson that I should keep more references in my commits and ensure there's a merge request or a bug to track changes | 13:57 |

I keep wondering if I should add a additional checksum step after writing the data to disk. currently its checksumming the data arriving from the network, but not if what is written to disk matches as well. this opens up this type of issues I suppose (typically bit flip errors afaict) | 14:13 |
| jibel | mvo, The only way I've been able to reproduce the problem was to download the archive, then corrupt it by hand before running the unpack stage, this very looks like a hw error. | 14:13 |

| pitti | apw: but let's see; didn't get another error yet | 14:24 |
| jibel | mvo, I installed kubuntu and all the packages from backport, it will be finished in a few minutes. There's also a possibility that an obsolete kubuntu package is blocking the upgrade. | 14:24 |
| apw | pitti, i believe the first time it ran there were no milestones for natty which might have been the issue, cjw sorted that out before the later runs | 14:26 |
| ScottK | pitti: I have a SRU question - I've got a pending microversion update for clamav in lucid-proposed (same as current Maverick). This has a regression that I'm about to upload an SRU for to Maverick.

| achiang | is update-manager the only truly supported way to move from LTS to LTS? (hardy to lucid), or can you just s/hard/lucid/ in your sources.list, and then do apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade? | 17:23 |
| lool | cjwatson: I didn't care about the changes, I think I got to them because they were in the ~ubuntu-core-dev review queue at some point | 17:23 |
| cjwatson | achiang: you can certainly try the latter, and in many cases if things fail that way it's still a bug; but you may have to explicitly resolve some problems by hand.

| cjwatson | shadeslayer: for certainly at least the last several releases, we've started this open-and-preparing-toolchain phase the day after release | 18:22 |

| cjwatson | for instance lucid released the Tuesday after karmic release (which was a Thursday) | 18:24 |
| cjwatson | err | 18:24 |
| cjwatson | not released, opened :-) | 18:24 |
| cjwatson | karmic similarly | 18:25 |
| cjwatson | and in fact the same for jaunty. so I don't know where this idea that it will take at least a week to open natty (which I've seen repeated several times the last few days) has come from | 18:26 |
| shadeslayer | right, i can see GCC building for natty :D | 18:27 |
| shadeslayer | should be done in a few minutes i think | 18:27 |
| cjwatson | maverick opened nine days after lucid released, but was an aberration in recent history. I think that was something to do with UDS being the next week so we were busy preparing | 18:27 |
| cjwatson | shadeslayer: the toolchain is more than just gcc-4.4, particularly as gcc-4.5 will be default for natty | 18:28 |
| shadeslayer | cjwatson: yes, but gcc is the fundamental block of the toolkit right? | 18:28 |
| cjwatson | "particularly as gcc-4.5 will be default for natty" | 18:28 |
| ari-tczew | I remember toolchain issue on maverick start. | 18:29 |
| cjwatson | what you see building will only be used by a few packages | 18:29 |
