| AlanBell | Pendulum: in dasher preferences on the language tab if you change the direction to custom can you activate the radio buttons below? | 21:22 |
|---|---|---|
| Pendulum | AlanBell: no | 21:29 |
| Pendulum | looks like a bug | 21:29 |
| AlanBell | ok | 21:30 |
| AlanBell | did I tell you about the daily dash of dasher I set up? | 21:30 |
| Pendulum | no | 21:31 |
| AlanBell | my PPA now has daily builds of dasher from the gnome git tree | 21:31 |
| AlanBell | which was a lot easier to set up than it sounds | 21:31 |
| AlanBell | bug 664750 | 21:34 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 664750 in dasher (Ubuntu) "custom direction radio buttons don't activate (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/664750 | 21:34 |
| AlanBell | feel free to confirm and comment and I will forward it upstream | 21:35 |
| Pendulum | can I confirm even though I don't usually do bug stuff? | 21:37 |
| AlanBell | yes, you certainly can | 21:37 |
| AlanBell | anyone can confirm apart from the person who submitted the bug | 21:37 |
| AlanBell | I filed it, you have independently tested it and can confirm it. | 21:38 |
| AlanBell | Bug #637747 | 21:39 |
| ubot2 | AlanBell: Bug 637747 on http://launchpad.net/bugs/637747 is private | 21:39 |
| Pendulum | AlanBell: done on that bug | 21:39 |
| Pendulum | what was the 2nd bug? | 21:39 |
| AlanBell | it was referenced on another one, I think it is an automatic crash log or something, I just wanted to see if ubot2 could see any more of it than I can | 21:40 |
| Pendulum | AlanBell: also, I got an answer from Patrick re: the direct input in 3.0 issue. I'll forward it to you because I only 1/2 understand it | 21:40 |
| Pendulum | AlanBell: btw, do you have a preferred e-mail? I have 3 of them for you in my address book :P | 21:41 |
| AlanBell | they all end up in the same place really! | 21:42 |
| AlanBell | alanbell@ubuntu.com I guess | 21:42 |
| Pendulum | heh, too late. I sent to the first one on my list :P | 21:42 |
| AlanBell | got it | 21:44 |
| AlanBell | oh my, that is quite a suggestion | 21:44 |
| AlanBell | ok, so lets put aside the suggestion that users recompile it with a different build option for the moment! | 21:46 |
| AlanBell | however his basic point is that the "typing into apps" bit doesn't use at-spi | 21:46 |
| Pendulum | yeah | 21:46 |
| Pendulum | which I don't think has been clear in any of the gnome documentation, so at least that I can make clear for them | 21:47 |
| AlanBell | I think from the mail he sent me the at-spi bit tells dasher which window has focus | 21:47 |
| Pendulum | and he failed to answer my "are you thinking of porting to dbus" question | 21:47 |
| AlanBell | Sladen is joining in nicely on the gnome bug :) | 21:48 |
| Pendulum | AlanBell: well he was the person who filed the bug for me originally :) | 21:48 |
| Pendulum | he's poked me to comment | 21:48 |
| Pendulum | I'm just failing to remember my bugzilla login info | 21:48 |
| AlanBell | yup | 21:49 |
| charlie-tca | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dasher/+bug/637747 is no longer private | 21:51 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 637747 in dasher (Ubuntu) "dasher crashed with SIGSEGV in Dasher::CDasherModel::HandleOutput() (affects: 1) (heat: 12)" [Medium,New] | 21:51 |
| charlie-tca | apport bug reports are automatically marked private until we can check to make sure there is no private information in them | 21:52 |
| Pendulum | AlanBell: that's the one that was fixed in Maverick, yes? | 21:52 |
| Pendulum | AlanBell: okay, have found my username. now to try to remember password... | 21:52 |
| Pendulum | argh. it's telling me that neither e-mail address I could have used is a valid log-in | 21:53 |
| charlie-tca | AlanBell, Pendulum : if you let me know these bug numbers, I can make them public for us | 21:54 |
| Pendulum | charlie-tca: we're talking about some gnome bugs, mostly | 21:55 |
| AlanBell | Pendulum: that is similar to the crash that was fixed, but it is new | 21:55 |
| AlanBell | thanks charlie-tca | 21:55 |
| AlanBell | https://launchpad.net/~alanbell/+archive/ppa dasher 4.11 built for Lucid daily (Maverick build is not working for some reason right now) | 21:57 |
| Pendulum | I notice the GTK errors that show up if you run direct mode were reported 2 years ago as a gnome bug and still haven't been fixed :-/ | 21:59 |
| Pendulum | I really wish I knew how to help | 22:00 |
| Pendulum | obviously I need to relearn coding ;-) | 22:00 |
| Pendulum | or at least C | 22:01 |
| Pendulum | (I have yet to see a good argument about why I should relearn java ;-) ) | 22:01 |
| AlanBell | would dasher work well with multitouch or on a tablet thingummy? | 22:02 |
| Pendulum | it does :) | 22:03 |
| AlanBell | ok, so there are about 3 squillion touch sessions at UDS | 22:04 |
| AlanBell | it will be a touchy feely UDS | 22:04 |
| AlanBell | and they should be talking about Dasher | 22:04 |
| Pendulum | or at least, it works well on my mac trackpad and it works well with my wacom tablet (when I have Ubuntu set up correctly for the Wacom) | 22:04 |
| AlanBell | so rather than learning C, get 20 C programmers excited by it and see what happens | 22:05 |
| Pendulum | but I liked C | 22:13 |
| Pendulum | ;-) | 22:13 |
| Pendulum | but, yes, I'm going to try | 22:13 |
| AlanBell | do both then! | 22:13 |
| Pendulum | not to mention the on screen keyboard session | 22:13 |
| Pendulum | I am sad that sladen isn't making it to UDS :( | 22:14 |
| AlanBell | oh, didn't realise, that is a shame | 22:15 |
| AlanBell | it will be light on Brits all round | 22:15 |
| Pendulum | something where he would have been taking a boat that left 4 October, but then he didn't make it on the boat or something | 22:15 |
| AlanBell | whut? he was taking a boat to Florida?? | 22:17 |
| Pendulum | yes | 22:22 |
| Pendulum | because this time of year if you book last minute, transatlantic crossings to the US are cheap | 22:22 |
| Pendulum | because places are moving their boats from the Med to the Caribbean | 22:23 |
| Pendulum | s/places/companies | 22:23 |
| AlanBell | wow | 22:38 |
| AlanBell | https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~alanbell/+recipe/daily-dash-of-dasher | 23:03 |
| AlanBell | http://www.doctort.org/adam/nerd-notes/x11-fake-keypress-event.html this is the kind of thing that dasher does on the inside with that XTestFakeKeyEvent stuff | 23:07 |
