[07:16] <eaerth> good eve' m'lady.
[07:18] <eaerth> i was wondering about a bug i'm experiencing with xorg edgers and notify-osd last night and it was suggested to file a bug, i did the command to do this but for some reason or another it wasn't able to submit it. i did however find two occasions of the bug in launchpad though if anyone is willing to take a look?
[07:20] <eaerth> i believe a developer responded and suggested downgrading to a version of pixman that was equivalent to maverick, however i'm running the lucid variation and i'm not sure if this is possible? did a search in synaptic for pixman and only found one thing but i don't think that was what i'm supposed to be looking for. ;S
[07:21] <eaerth> and then someone i was talking to said they didn't know why i don't just disable notify-osd all together but i rather like having it active because i work in fullscreen for the most part and it's pretty handy to see when something is going on...
[07:23] <eaerth> any help regarding this would be much appreciated... i'd hate to give up on it.
[09:35] <eaerth> hello?
[12:53] <czajkowski> gord: thanks
[13:08] <sense> mpt: Was it the Conservative office in Millbank which was trashed by students?
[13:08] <mpt> sense, it was the building generally, they were pretty unfocused
[13:08] <sense> mpt: Did Canonical get any damage?
[13:08] <mpt> They started out attacking Millbank Tower itself, where we are, before realizing the Conservative HQ is next door
[13:09] <mpt> We got some smoke, that's all
[13:09] <sense> Ah, ok. Fortunately not more.
[13:10] <sense> Ah! There is already a paragraph about it on Wikipedia.

[13:55] <jorge> with a bounty too!
[14:35] <htorque> tedg, hello, i'm the one that asked this question about updating indicator icons: http://askubuntu.com/questions/11162/is-it-possible-to-alter-and-update-the-status-icon-of-a-running-indicator-applet
[14:36] <htorque> tedg, i'm setting an icon (by name from the current theme), overwrite this icon with new information (which works), and try to re-set it (which doesn't). you think this is a bug?
[14:37] <c10ud> i guess indicators are caching the icons.. and i think this is quite an abuse of the indicators :p
[14:37] <htorque> if it's a bug, how would the icon cache influence the situation? (i tried above with icon cache, with updating the icon cache after every icon overwrite, and without icon cache - no change)
[14:38] <c10ud> note: i'm not affiliated with canonical, etc.
[14:38] <htorque> c10ud, it definitely is!
[14:38] <tedg> htorque, It seems that it should notice the file change.  I thought that GTK did that for us, with theme changes.
[14:38] <htorque> c10ud, i just feel bad without my system applet in the panel
[14:39] <c10ud> has it been removed? (i'm still on lucid)
[14:40] <htorque> i don't think there will be a possibility to add gnome-applets to unity's top panel
[14:40] <c10ud> oh, right, unity..
[14:41] <htorque> tedg, so it would rather be a gtk bug then?
[14:42] <tedg> htorque, Possibly.  I'm curious if it's just watching the theme cache file, and waiting for that to update.
[14:48] <htorque> tedg, nope, it doesn't seem to be a problem with the theme cache file: if i start the indicator, i always see the last saved icon state - even with the cache file present.
[14:49] <tedg> htorque, Yeah, I was more thinking it was watching the cache file.  Try updating the state, then touching the cache file.
[14:54] <htorque> tedg, touching or running update-icon-caches - no change
[15:00] <tedg> htorque, Hmm, okay.  As a work around you could toggle between two.  i.e., adjust one, switch to one, adjust two, switch to two, adjust one, etc.
[15:05] <htorque> tedg, already tried this and am hitting the same problem: the changed icons never show up. if you say it's currently not possible and might be a bug somewhere, than that's ok with me :)
[15:05] <tedg> htorque, Yeah, it must be.  Sorry :(
[15:05] <sense> jcastro: Ah, a bounty!
[15:05] <htorque> tedg, thanks anyway!
[15:06] <sense> jcastro: Ouch, that is such a painful way of solving this!
[15:06] <htorque> sense, yeah, i know :P
[15:07] <sense> htorque: Ah, you asked the question. :)
[15:07] <htorque> sense, yes. i'm not even a programmer and i know that the way i try to do this is rather "painful"
[15:39] <htorque> tedg, a followup: i now created a simple gtk window with a gtk.toolbutton which sets its icon when clicked: btn.set_icon_name("indicator-messages-new"). i replaced the icon on disk between two clicks and the change was reflected (even with the theme cache file present)
[15:53] <tedg> htorque, Hmm, that's good, but means that it's probably entirely my fault :)
[15:54] <htorque> oh, i need to click the button for the change to happen - calling set_icon_name alone does nothing. so maybe it's rather my code's fault :o
[15:55] <htorque> do i need to force the indicator to redraw or something like that?
[15:57] <tedg> htorque, Hmm, I'm not sure how you'd do that.  You could probably do it using the attention state.
[15:59] <htorque> woohoo, that seems to work
[16:03] <htorque> tedg, so now i don't have to explicitly re-set the icon. it's just setting the status to attention and back to active (both icons should be the same, else i see flickering). thanks a bunch!
[20:41] <kklimonda> Cimi: ping? How can I get a color of selection background in Gtk+ ?
[20:41] <kklimonda> gtk_style_lookup_color ?
[20:41] <kklimonda> (if so, what's the right name? :) )
[20:41] <Cimi> kklimonda: one sec
[20:42] <kklimonda> some parts of Gtk+ documentation are so useles..
[20:42] <kklimonda> useless even*
[20:42] <Cimi> GtkStyle * style;
[20:42] <Cimi> style = gtk_widget_get_style (widget);
[20:43] <Cimi> then
[20:43] <Cimi> if you want colors to use them easily with cairo
[20:44] <Cimi> you could create a struct
[20:44] <Cimi> typedef struct
[20:44] <Cimi>  86{
[20:44] <Cimi>  87        double r;
[20:44] <Cimi>  88        double g;
[20:44] <Cimi>  89        double b;
[20:44] <Cimi> ops
[20:44] <Cimi> without the numbers
[20:44] <kklimonda> no problem, I can still parse it :)
[20:44] <Cimi> mmm let me write the code for you
[20:44] <kklimonda> isn't this struct similar to Gdk.Color ?
[20:45] <kklimonda> it has r, g, b instead of red, green, blue so no..
[20:46] <Cimi> mmm maybe gdk.color is new in gtk+3
[20:46] <Cimi> mmm no, gdkcolor is 0 - 65536 iirc
[20:48] <kklimonda> bah, something has to be broken if something that simple is not ;)
[20:51] <Cimi> http://pastebin.ca/1988460 kklimonda
[20:53] <kklimonda> thanks
[20:53] <Cimi> yw
[21:23] <kklimonda> bah, my text isn't pixel perfect :/
[22:19] <kklimonda> Cimi: where can I read how text alligning in Gtk+/Pango world works?
[22:29] <Cimi> kklimonda: what do you mean?
[22:32] <kklimonda> Cimi: meh, my text is one pixel to the right.. and pango_layout_set_alignment do funny things. ;)
[22:33] <kklimonda> (what I'm trying to do is more or less duplicating indicator-messages counters)
[22:37] <kklimonda> http://pastebin.com/YTXh84vJ - the code looks like that and text isn't perfectly aligned (it's one pixel off on the left side)
[22:43] <Cimi> maybe it's a matter of alignment
[22:48] <gabaug> kklimonda: maybe affected by http://cairographics.org/FAQ/#sharp_lines ?
[22:57] <kklimonda> gabaug: I don't know, maybe I just should leave it for now - does text looks wrong inside balloons here: http://ubuntuone.com/p/OsI/ ? I'm not talking about balloons themselves, they are all over the place ;)
