enc0d3hello everyone02:18
enc0d3what's the topic today?02:18
enc0d3:)02:18
Neko__preinstalled desktop question: if I wanted to ship a custom Ubuntu which had compositing enabled in metacity by default how would I fix it so this happens? Is there a flag I can tweak which overrides the one created for each user and where is it kept (I am sure some gconf template somewhere but the location is a mystery to me). I have the same question about window border icons (border_layout) - this is for an installation of multiple desktops with mul02:34
Neko__tiple networked users where everyone seems to get the same OS defaults from the themes etc. and I need to override them without building all new packages02:34
Neko__same for desktop backgrounds etc... we're thinking university logo kind of stuff02:37
RAOFYou'd be looking for gconf schemas (for now)02:38
* desrt does the gconf is dying dance02:38
Neko__ /usr/share/gconf/schemas ?02:38
Neko__this is every default in the system?02:39
desrtNeko__: it's actually sort of complicated02:39
desrtthe schemas need to be installed into /etc as well02:39
RAOFI'm not actually 100% sure how the schema is calculated; we use dh_gconf to make it magically happen.02:39
Neko__but they both need to match?02:39
desrtsee /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/02:39
desrti have no idea, to be honest02:39
desrti just know that it's quite complicated02:40
Neko__the only option I can see right now is to have it done in ~/.bashrc or something and gconf the settings in02:40
Neko__but that means making an awesome amount of semi-manual changes on a network02:41
Neko__this university has 4000 students..02:41
Neko__not to mention we want to rig it so we can ship systems outside of the university with the same configuration02:41
RAOFSo, I'd check out what we do in a package like ubuntu-netbook-default-settings, which ships gconf defaults.02:42
Neko__okay02:42
* desrt wonders if dconf defaults are used at all yet02:42
desrtapparently not02:42
Neko__doesn't dconf depend on gconf? :D02:48
Neko__okay ubuntu-netbook-default-settings uses update-gconf-defaults which is very confusingly run02:50
Neko__there are two lists in the package but they're not installed.. ever.. and somehow two sets of defaults are picked up from an installed location02:50
Neko__my god this is freakish. did I recall someone at GNOME saying that Windows sucks because of the registry? :D02:51
Neko__oh! I get it02:52
Neko__it relies on package install order though. if something updates these settings and it picks up my mandatory and defaults THEN the new package ones, mine will be overwritten anyway02:53
Neko__okay, I give up. thanks anyway guys :)02:53
Neko__can tell my boss he gets what he gets now and there's not a fun way around it02:54
pittiGood morning07:21
pittirobert_ancell: hm, I don't see the new simple-scan in unapproved08:13
robert_ancellpitti, oh, odd...08:16

robert_ancellpitti, ok, it's uploaded now08:21
pittibonjour didrocks08:22
pittirobert_ancell: ah, thanks; will process it soon08:22
didrocksGuten Morgen pitti08:32

mvogood morning seif_08:35
seif_ hi mvo08:35
seif_:)08:35
mvo:)08:36
seif_waaaaaaaaaaah need more sleep but gf keeps taking the blanket away08:37
mvohehe08:38
hyperairlol08:38
seif_so its off t onag on some zeitgeist devs08:39
seif_mvo, does python release memory08:39
seif_?08:39
mvoyes, its supposed to at least. you can force it with the python "gc" module, but it will do it periodically itself too08:40
seif_we just noticed increase of memory in zeitgeist08:40
seif_i mean usually we operate around 5 - 10 MB08:40
seif_but in some cases we get t ogo over 3008:40
seif_but never really to 4008:41
seif_and its stil ltoo much08:41
seif_we want to release memory08:41
seif_:P08:41
seif_mvo, can you please list features you tink zeitgeist can help S-C with08:41
seif_i wanna get a call for devs article out08:43
mvoI think a client/server "other people use" is useful08:43
mvolike "other people use gimp that work a lot with image/png"08:43
seif_mvo, yeah but that is too complex and i think I would like to take a better stab at it first08:44
seif_other ideas08:45
mvoyeah, that is true, I don't have a good idea for a low hanging fruit currently08:45
seif_:)08:45
seif_mvo, maybe pushing installed/uninstalled and updated events into zeitgeist from s-c08:46
seif_another would be replacing the history in s-c08:47
seif_another one would be listing you most used apps and the apps you never used08:47
seif_it would help the janitor to do better work08:47
mvohm, that is a interessting idea08:58
mvothe janitor08:58
mvoif the history goes into zeitgeist I think we need to consider way of doing interessting stuff with it08:59
seif_mvo, it will be good for us too08:59
seif_i was gonne write an apt logger08:59
seif_but i think logging throug hs-c is easier08:59
seif_it will allow me to give oyu a complete history about when shit was installed09:00
seif_and used09:00
mvothe canonical source is /var/log/apt/history.log*09:00
seif_mvo, another question09:00

chrisccoulsonheh :-)09:43
chrisccoulsoni need to figure out why my firefox builds are hanging now :/09:43
didrocksseb128: can you please enable the messaging menu turning green when you receive emails in your inbox for a while? I want to ensure it's amd64 only (all reports are on amd64 and only one claims to be on i386)09:57
didrocksand I still have no issue there on i38609:57
seb128"in your inbox"?09:58
seb128it's turning green when receiving messages on my imap servers09:58
seb128but  not in my local inbox09:58
seb128the one which I use the get emails from a pop server09:58
seb128on i38609:58
didrocksseb128: yeah, sorry I call that "inbox" as the main folder is named "Inbox" on both my IMAP servers10:00
didrocksseb128: ok, thanks, there are too many reports for people on amd64 to be every people misleading with the local inbox10:01
seb128is it working for you?10:01
didrocks10:57:54      didrocks | and I still have no issue there on i38610:01
seb128oh I though you were on amd6410:02
didrocksno :/10:02
didrocksI'm old school apparently :-)10:02
seb128there must be people on amd64 there10:02
seb128chrisccoulson, pitti, mvo?10:02
chrisccoulsoni'm on amd6410:02
seb128do you use evo?10:02
didrocksI think he's using thunderbird :)10:02
chrisccoulsoni'm not actually ;)10:03
chrisccoulson(not for work anyway)10:04
seb128is anybody on amd64 with an evo imap account working? ;-)10:05
mvoseb128: I have one10:08
seb128mvo, could you check if the indicator is turning green when you receive emails in your imap inbox?10:09
seb128you need evolution to not be focussed10:09
seb128like configure the account to check for emails every few minutes and wait10:09
seb128you should get a notification and the indicator turn green10:09
seb128I can send you an email if that helps testing ;-)10:09
mvoseb128: I don't use evo10:10
seb128you also need to make sure you checked the indicator options in the preferences10:10
seb128mvo, hum10:10
seb128<seb128> is anybody on amd64 with an evo imap account working? ;-)10:10
seb128<mvo> seb128: I have one10:10
mvo*cough* sorry, I only read up to amd6410:10
mvolalalala10:10
seb128lol, no worry10:10
mvoI did test it the other day with empathy and that worked10:11
seb128dear pitti, make the workitem tracker email only once a day, thanks10:11
seb128mvo, well didrocks things the evolution-indicator is buggy on amd6410:11
didrocksyeah, people reports that empathy is working, but not evo-indicator10:11
didrocksand there are too many people complaining/reporting dupe on amd64 to be only misusage…10:12
seb128weird, I didn't see any bug about that on evo10:13
chrisccoulsonseb128 - i get the indicator turn green, but only for messages which don't get filtered in to another folder10:13
seb128chrisccoulson, right, it's supposed to be Inbox only10:13

seb128didrocks, 2 affected users and 2 duplicates with no details, I don't think it's significant10:16
didrocksseb128: really? because on one dup, I almost ensured that the person had the good option and the right workflow10:17
didrocksseb128: but you're more experienced than I in judging the amount of comment needed for becoming a relevant bug, so I trust you and turn on another thing :)10:18

pittiseb128: my messaging indicator turns green when I receive a jabber message, yes; isn't it supposed to?10:30
seb128pitti, but you don't use evo for emails?10:30
seb128pitti, didrocks thinks evolution-indicator is buggy on amd6410:31
pittiseb128: well, evo shows my mails (local maildir)10:31
pittiseb128: but I don't get email notifications in the msg indicator10:31
seb128we have several issues there10:32
seb128it's not working for non imap accounts there either10:32
seb128ie I've a pop account which loads emails in a local inbox10:33

seb128bzr diff -c rev | patch -p0 -R15:12
seb128or is there a cleaner way?15:12
gordseb128, if you bzr revert, you have to do a new commit to save the changes, the revert is a type of commit really15:13
seb128can I bzr revert a random revision?15:13
gordah, not sure about that15:14
seb128I will just use the diff | patch line15:15
seb128that works fine ;-)15:15
ari-tczewis someone going to merge epiphany-browser for natty?15:22
topylii guess so!15:22

seb128didrocks, ^16:50
seb128hggdh, it's not like evolution-exchange was actively maintained though16:50
didrocksyeah, I just upgraded evo-exchange as I could, but I have no setup to test it16:51
hggdhseb128: I understand... mcrha just pinged me on something similar on b.g.o -- gnome bug 63044416:51
ubot2Gnome bug 630444 in BugBuddyBugs "Exchange - cannot open account" [Critical,Unconfirmed] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63044416:52
and471desrt, are you an author of dconf-editor?16:54
hggdhdidrocks: we may need to add --with-ek2-debug in the e-exchange debian/rules16:54
didrockshggdh: something this adds some logs that we can upload with apport or is it an environment variable that should be added to get the debug then?16:55
seb128didrocks, hggdh: random guess would be that it's due to -Bsymbolic-function16:56
hggdhdidrocks: we have to configure e-e with it or no debug logs will be generated on e-e (add it to DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS)16:56
seb128try building without that16:56
hggdhdidrocks: *then* we can set it with an environment variable16:57
didrocksseb128: how do you see that from the trace?16:57
seb128didrocks, not from the trace, just reading the bugzilla from hggdh16:58
didrockshggdh: understood, but my question was rather "which" environment variable is needed then :)16:58
seb128"> (evolution:9159): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type16:58
seb128> `ExchangeAccount'16:58
seb128The above is the issue"16:58
seb128"cannot register existing type"16:58
seb128is typically the issues we had with -Bsymbolic-function16:58
seb128you had that error on cheese last cycle16:58
didrocksright16:58
didrocksI can upload a version in a ppa for people to test16:59
didrocksand adding the debug flag as well16:59
seb128would be great, thanks16:59
desrtand471: no16:59
* didrocks calls it his evolution day :)16:59
desrtand471: robert ancell is16:59
hggdhdidrocks: you set an env like in http://projects.gnome.org/evolution/bugs.shtml16:59
didrockshggdh: oh ok, just the E2K_DEBUG ones, thanks17:00
cyphermox_didrocks, i was told about calendars in evolution-mapi being borked as well17:00
desrtwhat did -Bsymbolic-functions break now?17:00
didrockscyphermox_: same, I can't test :)17:00
and471desrt, ah ok thanks17:00
cyphermox_I was in the process of trying to update patches for 2.32.0 on spare cycles...17:00
didrocksdesrt: evolution-exchange17:00
didrockscyphermox_: we are using 2.3017:00
cyphermox_yeah17:01
cyphermox_I wanted to try if 2.32 worked better17:01
desrtevolution's fault?17:01
didrockscyphermox_: please, don't upgrade, we already have issues having different version from evolution17:01
cyphermox_ok17:01
seb128?17:01
seb128didrocks, we should upgrade to 2.32 this cycle17:01
seb128no reason to stop people doing the update if they want17:01
didrocksseb128: I think cyphermox_ is talking about upgrading evo-mapi to maverick as the calendar is broken17:02
cyphermox_didrocks, not quite17:02
cyphermox_evo-mapi and evo need to follow no?17:02
seb128right17:02
hggdhthe whole shebang, or nothing17:02
cyphermox_so I was deep in evo itself, making sure the patches applied to 2.32.017:02
didrocksright, that was why I told you it's not the way to fix the calendar being broken :)17:02
didrockscyphermox_: talk to jelmer as well, he's coordinating this with debian17:03
cyphermox_so I would then put evo + evo-mapi in a PPA to play with17:03
cyphermox_didrocks, cool17:03
didrocks(and all the samba4 stack)17:03
cyphermox_I'm mostly still doing laptop testing for now though17:04
didrocksI'll upgrade evo to 2.32 once the SRU round will be finished17:04
cyphermox_crazy idea: are there daily builds? ;)17:06
didrocksI don't think so :)17:06
kenvandinesigh... running gwibber-service in valgrind seems to slow it down enough that i can't reproduce the libproxy crash...17:08
chrisccoulsonkenvandine, there you go. you've fixed it then ;)17:09
chrisccoulsonalways run it in valgrind17:09
chrisccoulson:-)17:09
kenvandine:)17:11
kenvandinenote to self: never run anything python in valgrind, the results are scary17:11
kklimondaheh17:11
kenvandinetedg, pretend you didn't see me say that17:12
* tedg isn't good at pretending :)17:14
hggdhdidrocks: would you like a bug for the --enable-e2k-debug?17:15
didrockshggdh: if possible, that would be great :)17:16
desrtkenvandine: the mapping between python and C is pretty interesting17:16
didrocksthanks17:16
desrtkenvandine: in a very real sense, python is a scripting language for C17:16
kenvandineyeah, with what looks like lots of memory leaks17:16
* kenvandine hugs python17:16
desrt:)17:16
desrtthe leaks are lies!17:17

didrockshggdh: thanks, I'll see if we can get it in the SRU as well (as basically it's completly broken today)17:21
hggdhdidrocks: great! mcrha had asked me to build a PPA for a gnome bug on that, and I forgot to ping you folks about it. Frankly, I see no reason not to have it in17:22
didrockshggdh: agreed, not sure why the flag isn't the default, btw?17:22
hggdhdidrocks: this is a new(ish) flag. Even mcrha got hit by it ;-)17:23
didrocksoh, it will be by default then?17:23
hggdhhum17:23
hggdhwell, upstream does not really care about which flags one uses. For us, it should be on by default, since otherwise we will never get the debug traces17:24
seb128why did they add a flag for it?17:25
seb128it seems to not make sense if it's activated by a variable anyway17:26
seb128or it has a speed cost at runtime?17:26
hggdhI do not know yet... I was going to backtrace on GIT to find the change, but did not have time17:27
hggdhwell, _now_ I have time, so I will look for it17:27
CimiMacSlow: nice pic mirco! :)17:29

seb128Cimi, ok, great18:06
seb128Cimi, I can review your work when you think it's ready18:06
seb128just ping me when you have it in a vcs18:06
Cimiseb128: you mean the packaging stuff?18:07
seb128Cimi, what do you want to try yourself?18:11
Cimiseb128: yeah, if possible18:11
Cimiseb128: I'm sure I will make something not perfect18:12
Cimibut it might be useful to know how to package well18:12
seb128right18:12
Cimiseb128: I have a branch in git18:12
Cimiwith the source code18:12
seb128so what I suggested is that you do and ping me for review18:12
Cimido I need to import that branch in bzr?18:12
seb128so I can tell you what you did wrong18:12
Cimiok cool!18:13
seb128Cimi, git or bzr is your choice18:13
seb128we will have the official ubuntu packaging in bzr when we upload to ubuntu18:13
seb128but you work in git if you want18:13
cyphermoxseb128, gtk just finished, no issues18:16

seb128so it's a builder issue, great18:17

seb128Cimi, yes18:25
Cimijust wondering18:25
Cimidebian will be able to ship both murrine 0.98.1 and the gtk3 version18:25
Cimiwhat will happen with other distro?18:25
Cimibecause 3.0 is not retro compatible18:26
seb128Cimi, what do you mean?18:35
seb128Cimi, the gtk2 and gtk3 version will not conflicts18:35
seb128they will have different names for source and binaries and different locations on disk18:35
seb128should be the same for all distros18:35
Cimibut that's up to distro packagers, right?18:36
seb128yes18:36
Cimiok18:36
Cimijust wondering ;)18:36
Cimiseb128: how do I name/get the source file, as there's no snapshot?18:38
seb128Cimi, what I usually do is to make dist a git snapshot18:38
Cimiusing get-orig-source or18:39
Cimiok18:39
Cimiand how to name it?18:39
Cimi0.98.? or adding daate?18:39
Cimiseb128: ^^18:39
seb128Cimi, 0.98.1+<date>18:40
seb128or 0.98.1.1 rather which is the current tarball18:40
seb128date or git revision id18:40
seb128just <current-tarball>+<something making sense>18:41
seb1280.98.1.1+git2010101318:41
seb128or similar18:41

cyphermoxin NM I use <last tagged release>+git.<date>.<short commit hash>18:42
seb128" just <current-tarball>+<something making sense>"18:42
seb128I think is the summary18:42
cyphermoxyep18:42
seb128then people use the date, or commit id or whatever18:42
seb128I usually don't bother with the commit since I don't do several snapshots a day18:42
seb128but I'm sure some people do ;-)18:43
Cimiseb128: but are you going to change the lib version as well, or just name the package18:45
seb128what lib?18:45
Cimii mean18:45
Cimiin configure.ac :)18:45
Cimiversioning of the software itself18:46
Ciminot just the name of the package18:46
seb128I usually don't bother18:46
seb128I make dist from git18:46

Cimiseb128: shall I leave bzr-vcs and current maintainer?18:57
CimiI'm using the deb dir from gtk2-engines-murrine18:57
cyphermoxCimi: maintainer you probably want to have updated ( update-maintainer will do this for you ), and bzr-vcs if it's the "master" branch e.g. lp:~ubuntu-desktop/.... then I think you'd want to leave it as is19:01
cyphermoxI may well be wrong though since I don't really know what you're doing ;)19:02
tedgAnyone know of a project that's done the gdbus port?19:04
tedgLooking for an example.19:04
Cimiwhat about the watch file from a local snapshot from git?19:04
cyphermoxCimi, if it's a snapshot you probably don't want anything in there, but you could leave it as is if it already has the links/regex for previous released tarballs19:05
Cimiok19:05
Cimimany thanks19:05
cyphermoxe.g. if it already has the ftp.gnome.org regex and you're packing something from git.gnome.org, then leave it in.. that way the next release can be picked up by uscan19:06
Cimiseb128: ok, package done19:12
Cimiseb128: tell me later how can I share it with you :)19:12
seb128Cimi, don't bother with those yes19:24

tedgseb128, Hmm, seems that grep picks up egg_dbus as well. :)19:31
seb128tedg, take nautilus19:33
tedgEvince is better because it exports objects as well.19:35
tedgBut it seems that there is no tool.  Real shame.19:35
seb128talk to davidz ;-)19:35

seb128rickspencer3, do you know if http://webapps.ubuntu.com/employment/canonical_UP-SE-RS1/ is an open position still?19:38

cyphermoxkenvandine, just tested w/ the NM version in maverick, and I see the same thing as you do re: states when suspending. With the pm-utils script enabled and disabled. Then I tested with the daily build with the pm-utils script disabled and I can't see the extra state change to NM_STATE_CONNECTED19:50
