icekkhey virutald i can rotate the cube left and right, but why wont it rotate up and down?00:04
virtualdi don't know00:07
RAOFicekk: Because it's not a cube :)00:14
Amaranthicekk: Your screen resolution is not 1:1 so it's not actually a cube, thus a desktop won't fit on the top and bottom00:34
icekkAmaranth, well the cube is Dumb, I want it two dimensional01:56
icekkit takes forever to run around the cube01:57
Amaranthicekk: *shrug*01:57
lateniteHi folks; i have fresh install of ubuntu and the nm-applet ist runing BUT dows not SHOW in taskbar. what s going on there?04:47
pittiGood morning07:06
robert_ancellpitti, are you there?07:33
pittihey robert_ancell07:33
robert_ancellpitti, hey, I want to make the gnome-utils/remmina changed for natty - can I modify the ubuntu-meta package directly or is there a process to follow.  And do you also need to modify the seeds?07:34
robert_ancelland one more, what is the distinction between -i386 and -recommends-i386?07:35
pittirobert_ancell: you only modify the seeds, ubuntu-meta is autogenerated from that07:35
pittirobert_ancell: -i386 are the depends of ubuntu-desktop, the other the recommends07:35
pittirobert_ancell: in the seeds, recommends are in ()07:36
robert_ancellpitti, so, is there a process?07:37
pittirobert_ancell: just change the seeds07:38
pittirobert_ancell: and then, if you like, rebuild ubuntu-meta07:38
pittiit has an "update" script, which you just run07:38
pittiyou need debootstrap and germinate installed07:38

sp3ctrumIGhi all....is there some Canonical employee? i 'd like to ask some questions.08:31
pitti!ask | sp3ctrumIG08:31
ubot2sp3ctrumIG: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)08:31
sp3ctrumIGmmm...ok sry, my question is simple....what's the average preparation a good candidate must have to apply for Canonical...i mean, not the requirment asked in the job announce but the personal skills someone applying "feel" to have while applying....08:35
pittisp3ctrumIG: you should have experience in the area you are applying for, should be a FOSS enthusiast, be available full time, familiar/comfortable with working from home, and reasonably understand Canonical's mission and goals08:40
pitti(shouldn't be that surprising :) )08:41
sp3ctrumIGyes, sure.... :)08:42
sp3ctrumIGthanks...08:42
sp3ctrumIGlast two: is there in Canonical some italian team member? And: Being a community active member is a plus or not?08:43
pittisp3ctrumIG: active community member is a great advantage, of course08:44
pittisp3ctrumIG: we have several folks from Italy, yes08:44
sp3ctrumIGok thanks a lot for your time and answers.08:45
sp3ctrumIG:)08:45
pittisp3ctrumIG: 6 Italian folks right now08:45
sp3ctrumIGwow...08:45
pittisp3ctrumIG: what are you interested in?08:45
sp3ctrumIGi was looking on Planet Ubuntu as usual and i saw Jono Bacon's announce...08:46
wasikevinHi I am particularly interested in acer desktop.  Is anywhere I can find the latest Acer desktop for Ubuntu?08:46
sp3ctrumIGfor Sw Engineer08:46
pittiwasikevin: we don't have an official Acer specific spin of Ubuntu (in fact, we don't have any vendor specific ubuntu spins at all); OEMs might ship them, of course08:47

rodrigo_morning09:12
didrockshey rodrigo_09:15
rodrigo_hi didrocks09:16
didrockspitti: hey, short question, is it python-distutils-extra that prevents applications to choose their own prefix for the public module directory? It seems normally it should respect the --prefix= (http://docs.python.org/install/index.html#how-installation-works)09:53
rodrigo_any idea why I get this -> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/529882/09:55
didrocksrodrigo_: cdbs had a change in dh_scour call few days ago, maybe related?09:58
didrocksrodrigo_: trying first using an older version of dh_scour09:58
didrockscdbs*09:58
rodrigo_didrocks, maybe, but there's no call to scour at all on this package, so it's some other tool that does the call, right?09:59
didrocksrodrigo_: "dh_scour09:59
didrocksscour 0.25"09:59
pittididrocks: it shouldn't be; p-d-e just expands what distutils does, but it doesn't force any prefix09:59
didrocksin top of your pastebin :)09:59
pittididrocks: and my own modules only query rootpath/prefix from the distutils classes10:00
didrockspitti: ok, I'll see how to fix this then (--prefix=/opt doesn't work for module for instance)10:00
didrockspitti: just to confirm it wasn't on purpose (I found nothing in distutils-extra for that, right)10:00
rodrigo_didrocks, yes, I mean there's nothing scour-related in debian/* for this package, so who makes the call to that?10:01
didrocksrodrigo_: can you pastebin your debian/rules?10:02
didrocksrodrigo_: if you're using cdbs, I think it's called unconditionnaly10:03
rodrigo_didrocks, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/529888/10:03
didrocksrodrigo_: /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk call it10:04
didrocksrodrigo_: you can use DEB_DH_SCOUR_ARGS to override the args10:05
rodrigo_ok10:05
didrocksseems that pitti has some fun in perl those days :)10:05
pittididrocks: there was some pushback from the debian Perl maintainers10:06
pittiapparently we aren't really supposed to only use perl-base :/10:06

didrocksLaney: well, I'm not sure the dependency list is up to date. if you can check that every dep are either in the MIR or in main, that will be nice12:19
dholbachI hope somebody with an interest in it can roll a new tarball12:19

ronocpitti, just a small one liner and then thats it promise13:14
ronoci wrote a comment on the bug about it13:15
ronocwill file the new bug now and point the release at the bug13:15
pittironoc: ok, sounds fine; please just make sure that the package gets built with -v, to include the current -proposed upload as well13:15
=== MacSlow is now known as MacSlow|lunch
ronocpitti, okay it will probably be tomorrow since kenvandine is off13:16
pittironoc: oh, if you want to modify the old changelog, I can also remove the current version from  -proposed altogether13:25
ronocpitti, that would probably be easiest, I won't be doing the packaging but might aswell wait for this release. Ken hopefully will do it in the morning13:26
pittiI'll coordinate with him then; easier to build with -v13:26

rodrigo_bff, g-c-c 2.91.2 took a lot of sweating16:27
pittiafter the freeze there were a ton of upgrades16:27

pittirodrigo_: ooh, you are packaging g-c-c 3?16:27
pittiare we going to use that in natty then?16:27
rodrigo_pitti, yes16:27

rodrigo_pitti, we don't know yet, it¡'ll be in the PPA for now16:27
rodrigo_uploading to the PPA as soon as I solve the conflict16:28
ronocpitti, whoops - resending16:28
rodrigo_pitti, so, g-s-d has Conflicts: gnome-control-center (<< 1:2.21.5)16:28
rodrigo_pitti, can I safely change that 1:.. to << 2.91.2 ?16:28
pittirodrigo_: I don't think that'd be appropriate16:29
pittirodrigo_: usually we use conflicts for moved files16:29
rodrigo_pitti, so, how do I remvoe the conflict (for g-s-d 2.91.2)16:29
pittirodrigo_: so if the new g-c-c can't be used with the old g-s-d, then g-c-c needs to Breaks: g-s-d (<< 2.91)16:29
pittirodrigo_: sorry, 1:2.91 of course16:30
pitti(can't get rid of the epoch)16:30
rodrigo_pitti, and so I add that to g-c-c and remove the Conflicts in g-s-d?16:31
pittirodrigo_: there's no hurry removing the conflicts in g-s-d16:31
pittirodrigo_: it can go, since that was only required for upgrades from dapper16:32
rodrigo_pitti, no, just want to have it ok for easy installation for ckpringle, who is been waiting on packages to test the new g-c-c16:32
pittibut it's independent16:32
rodrigo_but I can tell him to install with dpkg --force-conflicts16:32
pittirodrigo_: 2.21 is ancient, so the conflicts shouldn't actually do anything16:32
pittirodrigo_: seems we have a major misunderstaning; why do you think this ancient conflicts matters?16:32
pitti2.1 << 2.9116:33
pitti2.21 << 2.91, I mean16:33
rodrigo_pitti, I don't think it matters, it's just in the g-s-d package, and so when installing g-c-c 2.91.2 I get a conflict16:33
rodrigo_had to install it by hand with --foce-conflicts16:33
pittirodrigo_: aah16:33
pittirodrigo_: seems you dropped the epoch?16:33
pittiyou can't, I'ma fraid16:33
rodrigo_no, I didn't16:33
pittiConflicts: gnome-control-center (<< 1:2.21.5) means that you can't co-install it with any version less than that, but it's fine with any newer version16:34
pittiand 1:2.91 is definitively later than 1:2.2116:34
pittiunless you dropped the epoch16:34
rodrigo_see http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/gnome-settings-daemon/ubuntugtk3/annotate/head%3A/debian/control line 5416:34

pittirodrigo_, didrocks: do you know whether it would be okay for me to update to libnotify 0.7, which uses libgtk3 (and also bumps ABI)?17:15
didrockspitti: woudln't that mean that every apps using libnotify will have to switch to gtk3 as well?17:16
didrockspitti: I think we discussed at UDS about issues with linking against both gtk2 and gtk317:16
pittioh, hang on -- it seems it doesn't actually link against gtk317:16
pittijust glib17:16
pittibut it would require rebuilding all the reverse dependencies17:17
didrocksthat's nicer then :)17:17
didrocksbecause of the ABI break, isn't it?17:17
pittibut there's already stuff that requires the newer notify17:17
pittididrocks: yes17:17
pittiI need to update packagekit-gnome17:17
pittisince that still uses the obsolete libdevkit-power, which is NBS17:17
didrockswell, in any case, we will probably rebuild everything for that17:18
pittiI could try using packagekit-gnome 2.32 instead of 2.9117:18
pittibut I thought we'd rather go to gtk3 stuff if we can?17:18
didrockspitti: for applications, we decided to get there late on the cycle and switch on a application per application bases17:19
pittididrocks: right; I think packagekit-gnome should be okay?17:19
didrockspitti: sounds good (to me)17:19
rodrigo_pitti, there's an API break in new libnotify afaik17:22
pittirodrigo_: yes, new soname (0->4)17:23
rodrigo_pitti, upload it to the PPA for now, if you want17:23
pittirodrigo_: we could alternatively upload it as a new source libnotify417:23
pittiso that we have both APIs/ABIs in parallel for a while?17:23
rodrigo_yes17:23
pittirodrigo_: which PPA?17:23
rodrigo_not sure if the upstream source is parallel-installable though17:23
rodrigo_I hope so17:23
pittilibnotify1 and libnotify4 will17:24
pittifor -dev, I'd have to improvise17:24
pittibut that's not strictly required17:24
rodrigo_:)17:24
rodrigo_is the .pc file versioned?17:25
pittino, and it shouldn't be17:25
pittithe two -dev packages shouldn't be coinstallable17:25
pittior, at least, don't need to17:26
rodrigo_well, apps linking to one or the other need to choose one17:26
rodrigo_the API is different17:26
pittiright17:26
pittiso they'd b-dep on libnotify-dev (old) or libnotify4-dev (new)17:26
rodrigo_ah, ok17:26
pittiit's a pain, though, to keep two versions17:26
pittibut I guess we should as long as we still have stuff which links against the old one17:27

pittiPKG_CHECK_MODULES(CONTROL_CENTER, [17:46
pitti libgnome-control-center >= 2.31.4])17:46
pitti?17:46
pittirodrigo_: our gnome-control-center-dev only has gnome-default-applications.pc and gnome-keybindings.pc17:47
ftaanyone's interested by chromium & gtk theme integration? it's moving: http://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/group/chromium-dev/browse_thread/thread/eaf3923ca175bd34#17:47
pittirodrigo_: hm,m it also needs #include <libgnome-control-center/cc-panel.h>; so perhaps this is all stuff from g-c-c 317:49
rodrigo_pitti, right, but the new one has a lib and a header file17:52
pittiah, good17:53
* pitti goes with packagekit-gnome 2.32 for now, then17:53
rodrigo_pitti, what app was that?17:53
pittirodrigo_: packagekit-gnome17:53
rodrigo_ah, ok17:53
pitti2.91.217:53
rodrigo_then yes, it's a panel for new g-c-c17:53

pittirodrigo_: so, which PPA should I upload libnotify4 to?18:01
rodrigo_pitti, https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/+archive/gnome3-builds18:01
pittiah, cool, thanks18:02
pittilibnotify4 (0.7.0-0ubuntu1~build1) natty; urgency=low18:02
pittilike this? with ~build1, so that it's smaller than the final upload to natty?18:02
rodrigo_as you want, I was first using ~ppa*, but robert used the real version #, so I changed to just use the real one18:03
pitti~ppa1 sounds fine18:03
rodrigo_pitti, btw, just in case so that we don't step on each other, g-screensaver is next on my list18:03
pittirodrigo_: oh, I won't continue today18:04
pittirodrigo_: I mainly did that to get rid of libdevkit-power18:04
pittiwhich is done now18:04
rodrigo_pitti, me neither, going out now :)18:04
pitti...ish (as soon as I upload PK-gnome)18:04
rodrigo_ah, ok18:04
rodrigo_ok, new g-s-d uploaded, hopefully it builds on the ppa now18:05
rodrigo_so now out for some fresh air, later all :)18:05
=== gabaug1 is now known as gabaug
pittididrocks: hm, today I again don't have any composite in compiz, btw18:21
pittididrocks: so this seems reproducible18:21
pittionly after compiz --replace18:21
didrockspitti: hum, that's ugly :/ and without compiz --replace, it restarts it?18:21
didrockshum…18:21
pittihm, actually18:22
pittididrocks: I noticed that my usual key bindings worked all day18:23
pittiso perhaps it really did start metacity18:23
pittinow not even alt+f2 works18:23
didrockspitti: what do you have as the default in gconf?18:23
didrocks(oh right about alt + f2)18:24
=== al-maisan is now known as almaisan-away
pittididrocks: confirmed, I rebooted my computer, and I get metacity by default18:26
pitti    /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager:18:27
pitti     default = /usr/bin/compiz18:27
pitti     current = /usr/bin/compiz18:27
pittinothing interesting in .xsession-errors18:27
didrockspitti: and /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager ?18:27
pitti     windowmanager = metacity18:28
didrocksahah :)18:28
didrocksand that's the key which is taken into account18:28
pittiwhat about the other two?18:28
pittithey are obsolete?18:28
didrocksthe two other are taken into account only if windowmanager = gnomewm18:28
pittiI didn't touch that, but it could have been changed yesterday with the failed upgrade18:28
didrockswhich is utterly broken because we override that in the appearance capplet and change this primary key18:28
pittigconftool -R /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager18:29
pittistill metacity18:29
didrockspitti: yeah, and you are the second, I have to find why it changed for you18:29
pittiit's the schema default apparently?18:29
didrockspitti: probably, but we ovveride with gnomewm normally18:29
pittihm, gnome-session.schemas has it as "gnome-wm"18:29
pittidefaults/10_gnome-session-bin:/desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager gnome-wm18:30
pittiand some bits in une/18:30
pittididrocks: ah, I used -u (previously -R)18:30
pittinow it's "gnome-wm"18:31
* pitti logs out again and checks18:31
didrockspitti: ok, should be good with gnome-wm18:32
pittididrocks: ok, confirmed18:33
pittididrocks: gnome-wm gives me compiz18:33
pittibut not having any keybinding sucks a lot, so I set it back to metacity now18:33
didrockspitti: ok, the question is why it changed to metacity on the upgrade18:33
didrockspitti: and you confirm that using g-c-c change this key between metacity and compiz, isn't it?18:33
pittiI guess it sohuld18:34
pittiI think I tried the appearance applet yesterday18:34
pittibut it's currently totally broken18:34
pitti(I think you mentioned that)18:34
=== bjf[afk] is now known as bjf
didrockspitti: I've fixed it18:35
pittiit said "no effects" when I had compiz running18:35
pittiso I used gconftool18:36
didrockspitti: which version of g-c-c?18:36
pitti1:2.32.0-0ubuntu318:36
didrockshum really? let me check…18:37
didrocksah, the detection is broken, but this time, if you click on "normal", it's switching and kept like this, right?18:38
didrocks(this was broken previously)18:38
pittididrocks: confirmed, works18:39
=== bjf is now known as bjf[afk]
didrockspitti: ok, but I still find the "gnome-wm" thing broken as we change by the capplet and can never be back at the other behavior, it sounds suboptimal18:40
pittididrocks: is it gnome-wm which does the expensive detection?18:40
didrockspitti: exactly18:41
didrockspitti: but the first time you click on the capplet, it won't be used anymore18:41
didrocksso, it's a big machine gun for not a lot of benefits :)18:42
pittididrocks: well, with unity this entire thing becomes mostly obsolete anyway, no?18:42
pittiit won't make sense in unity (as we need compiz), and with only 2D you won't need it in GNOME either18:42
didrockspitti: yeah, what I want to do is to make a compiz plugin (first plugin loaded) which makes that detection18:43
pittiso you'd only need it if you deliberately run GNOME and want metacity18:43
didrocksright, there are 3 levels:18:43
didrocks- compiz + unity18:43
didrocks- compiz only (with gnome-panel)18:43
didrocks- metacity (with gnome-panel)18:43
didrocksso, the plugin will decide that IMHO18:43
didrocksthen, if people wants another wm, they will have something which change the gconf key18:44
* pitti waves good night18:54
didrocksgood night pitti18:56
fta(i run gnome with metacity.. and i feel unsafe with the current changes)18:57
fta(.. as unity was a disaster for me on my netbook)18:57

bcurtiswxshould I not be removing compiz with the current natty dist-upgrade?23:03
chrisccoulsonbcurtiswx, no ;)23:14
robert_ancellRAOF, is there a way I can list all the atoms in the X server?23:19
RAOFrobert_ancell: xlsatoms seems a good bet :)23:23
robert_ancellRAOF, nice :)23:26
robert_ancellRAOF, hmm, I want the get the TTY the xserver is running - I think it's one of the atoms - how do I get all their values?23:28
RAOFrobert_ancell: Dunno off the top of my head, sorry.23:32
