pittiGood morning06:21
pittivish: we'll ship LibO if possible; we should be getting an OO.o maintainer soon06:22
TheMuso8Morning pitti.06:29
pittirobert_ancell: I'm about to merge libgweather, unless you already started with that?06:58
didrocksgood morning07:33
pittibonjour didrocks07:33
pittididrocks: so, unity by default with last night's dist-upgrade :)07:33
didrockshey pitti, how are you?07:34
didrocksnice! all went well? :)07:34
pittiyep, apparently07:35
pittiexcept that I now miss gtimelog and system-monitor :)07:35
pittididrocks: how are you?07:35
pittididrocks: gnome-panel and applets are still running, though; is that intended?07:39
didrockspitti: I'm fine, thanks :)07:39
didrockspitti: yeah, nm-applet has to run :)07:39
didrocksand we will postpone for A2 for the "smart session launch" as upstream is changing gnome-session (long long discussions… :))07:40
pittididrocks: oh, what's the thing that I see on the unity panel?07:40
pittilooks like a network indicator07:40
didrocksthe thing? :)07:40
didrocksI don't have it07:40
didrocksdid I miss something? do you have a ppa?07:41
didrocksAFAIK, the nm indicator isn't NEWed07:41
TheMusoAs someone who will still need GNOME for a little while, do I have to select a different session once I upgrade?07:41
pittididrocks: http://people.canonical.com/~pitti/tmp/unity-panel.png07:42
didrocksTheMuso: yeah, with latest gnome-session, you should get a ubuntu classic session in gdm07:43
pittithe thing that drives me mad is the global menu bar07:43
pittiit conceptually doesn't work with focus-follows-mouse07:43
didrockspitti: talk to mpt about it, we argued for ages :)07:43
didrockspitti: I'm surprized, maybe I should check my nm version07:43
pittiis it possible to disable global menu bar for this?07:43
didrocksapart from UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 at session starts, no07:44
pittididrocks: I don't see an indicator process which sounds network-related07:44
TheMusodidrocks: Thanks, thought as much.07:44
didrocksdesign tells that you are a corner case pitti with follow on mouse :)07:44
pittididrocks: !?!07:45
didrocks(focus following mouse)07:45
pitti40 years of unix history is a corner case?07:45
didrocksI agree, that was even raised on ayatana mailing list07:45
didrocks(and yes, I used that on my unix in my previous job)07:45
pittiwell, not your fault, sorry for venting07:45
didrocksno worry :)07:46
didrockspitti: grrr, no new network-manager, don't know from where this indicators come07:46
pittididrocks: info in the indicator thing says "nm-applet"07:46
pittinetwork-manager-applet (0.8.2+git.20101123t161608.f143e76-0ubuntu1) natty; urgen07:47
pitticy=low07:47
pitti  * Now draw the applet and applet's menus using libappindicator.07:47
didrockspitti: and network-manager-gnome ?07:47
pitti    - add debian/patches/nm-applet-use-indicator.patch07:47
didrocksah07:47
pittididrocks: (-applet is the source for -gnome)07:47
didrocksok, maybe I'm not up-to-date for that one07:47
didrocksgrub is breaking my nvidia card, so I don't dist-upgrade but cherry-pick07:48
pittididrocks: but I figure having a running panel is important for something else: Alt+F2 :)07:48
pittiwhich currently seems to be the only way to actually launch programs, aside from terminals07:48
pittisince there's no overlay yet07:49
pitti(at least I don't have it, I just have the launcher bar)07:49
didrockspitti: yeah, njpatel wants to make it for A2, but the panel is crashing a lot of applets… so not sure what we should do07:49
didrocksin any, we either:07:49
didrocks - remove it, forget it and "sorry" for nvidia user for A107:49
pittiI don't think it actively hurts for a107:50
didrocks- let it there : alt+F2 ok but crash for everyone at start with the applets07:50
pittiit's just resource waste, but at least keeps alt+F207:50
didrocksok, let's keep that way then07:50
pittididrocks: right, I noticed the applets crashes, too07:50
didrocksyeah, I think that's because their X window is hidden at start07:50
didrocksparticularly for the systray07:50
didrocksok, so gnome-session will soon have the bits we need to have a nice detection system for A2 :)07:51
didrocksalso, for boot speed, we thought about launching the detection module during gdm and touch some file for result07:51
pittididrocks: oh, so we'll split out the detection after all?07:52
didrockspitti: right, I discussed that with dbarth yesterday in some extends and we still discuss a little this morning, but I think we found a way that is interesting for the distro and for upstream07:53
didrocksso, we will discare the --replace case07:53
didrocks(as GNOME will discare it as well)07:53
didrocksand also the case where someone add/remove the unity plugin07:54
pittibryceh, dbarth, didrocks, kenvandine, Laney, RAOF, robert_ancell, TheMuso: you still have a couple of alpha-1 WIs; can you please check if some of them were done, and move the rest to alpha-2?07:59
TheMusopitti: Sure.08:00
didrockspitti: already on them, I think banshee will be postponed as there is no MIR reviewed yet08:00
pittididrocks: sounds fine08:00
didrocksand the other one, we just discussed it :)08:01
didrockspitti: I can simply remove gnome-panel only in the ubuntu desktop session btw, (and don't impact gnome-classic with the gconf path trick), maybe it's better than having the crashes?08:04
didrocksand yeah, you will loose alt + F2 :)08:04
didrocks(got the indicator here as well, working fine for the general case)08:05
pittididrocks: hm, tricky; I wouldn't mind to not start panel for a08:05
=== almaisan-away is now known as al-maisan
pittia108:05
pittididrocks: it's still pretty "crippled" anyway08:06
pittibut it would better test how the system is standing on its own without the panel08:06
didrockspitti: yeah, for instance, we can have pager conflicts and the application minimizing effect to the wrong pager08:06
didrocksso, maybe better to remove it08:06
didrocksthat will just tell "sorry for nvidia driver and for those not having acceleration or dist-upgrading with wm != {gnomewm,compiz}"08:07
didrocksbut I think it just needs documentation on the release note08:07
TheMusopitti: Done thanks for the heads up.08:08
pittiTheMuso: cheers!08:08
dbarthpitti: sure08:10
vishpitti: thanks.  when would we decide(which milestone) finally whether we ship LibO or not?08:14
pittivish: before FF in any case08:15
vishah, ak.. :)08:15
vishok*08:15
pittivish: right now the delta between OO.o and LibO isn't so huge yet, so from an end user's POV it shouldn't look too different08:15

seb128hey09:28
rodrigo_hi seb12809:28
seb128hey rodrigo_09:29
seb128how are you?09:29
rodrigo_fine, and you?09:29
seb128rodrigo_, I'm fine thanks09:31
seb128didrocks, lut09:31
didrocksseb128: salut09:31
seb128didrocks, so the classic desktop session is not so great09:32
didrocksseb128: why?09:32
seb128I got applet crashing at start like under unity yesterday09:32
seb128it doesn't respect my keybindings09:32
didrocksseb128: do you have the latest compiz?09:32
seb128the workspace layout got reset to the default one09:32
seb128dunno what you did since I went to bed09:32
seb128let me check what is the latest09:32
seb128I've the same versions than yesterday when we discussed09:32
didrocksseb128: well, you removed the gconf settings, so your default worskpace layout is set09:33
didrocksseb128: so, it's normal you don't have the keybinding, same version, same bug :)09:33
didrocksfor the ws layout, you resetted gconf yesterday09:33
seb128right09:34
didrocksso the "default profile" has no data09:34
seb128well issues is that the wnck applet has 0 by 0 in its combo09:34
seb128but it could be a compiz 0.9 issue09:34
didrocksoh?09:34
didrocksthat's weird09:34
seb128I didn't try to change my layout since I upgraded I think09:34
seb128didrocks, well the applet has the correct layout09:34
seb128it's just the properties dialog which is buggy09:34
seb128changing values there doesn't work either09:35
didrocksyes, I've already warned you about that :)09:35
didrocksit's a compiz bug09:35
seb128ok09:35
didrocksso upgrade to latest version09:35
seb128the fix from yesterday you did fix the keybindings imports as well?09:35
didrocksyou should have your keybindings back09:35
seb128or just the capplet?09:35
seb128the xml matching so the capplet display those entries09:36
seb128ok09:36
didrocksit should work with the import as it will be recognized09:36
didrocksnot sure if you have to reset your profile09:36
seb128ok, let me upgrade and try09:38
pittihey seb128, how are you?09:39
seb128hey pitti09:40
seb128I'm fine thanks09:40
seb128how are you?09:40

pittimvo: guten Morgen09:40
pittimvo: sorry about the defer reject, I only looked at the debian/ dir in the branch yesterday09:41
mvohey pitti09:41
mvono worries09:41
pittididrocks: hm, I think we shold disable the gnome-panel under unity; I just booted today's daily and it looks pretty horrible10:18
pittiabout 5 crashes at start, and the rather defect gnome-panel sits on top of the unity panel10:18
didrockspitti: yeah, will do that once the meeting is finished10:20
didrocksok, back :)10:22

chrisccoulsondidrocks - good thanks. i'll be better once i can get thunderbird to build ;)10:52

seb128didrocks, re10:53
didrocksseb128: re10:54
bilalakhtardidrocks: Just installed natty, and saw your great work with Unity10:54
didrocksbilalakhtar: well, unity is more dx work TBH :)10:54
chrisccoulsonhi seb128!10:55
seb128hey chrisccoulson10:57
seb128I just wasted an hour trying to figure why the applets crash half of the time on session start with unity ang gnome-panel10:57
bilalakhtarseb128: same thing here10:58
chrisccoulsonseb128 - oh, you figured it out? i get that too10:58
pittiseb128: can they even appear on two panels at the same time?10:58
pittiit's the indicators, not the applets, right?10:58
seb128pitti, unity has no applets10:58
chrisccoulsonand compiz crashes on start too10:58
didrockswell, as said, this was forced as we didn't have any indicator for network10:58
didrocksbut now, I remove gnome-panel10:58
seb128didrocks, well I've gnome-panel issues in the classic session as well10:59
didrockswell…10:59
didrocksseb128: not sure for that one10:59
didrocksok, restarting session…10:59
seb128chrisccoulson, compiz crashes when I click on of the applet crash dialogs10:59
seb128same for you I guess?10:59
chrisccoulsonseb128 - yeah, i think so11:00
seb128njpatel, is unity supposed to indicate running applications or focussed applications with the small triangle at the right of launchers?11:00
seb128chrisccoulson, ok, same here11:00
njpatelseb128, focused applications11:00
seb128njpatel, ok thanks11:01
njpatelrunning applications have color behind their icons11:01
seb128gotcha11:01
didrocksseb128: tried again and reloading them doesn't crash compiz there11:02
seb128njpatel, btw do you guys need pings on IRC for merge request reviews?11:02
seb128didrocks, chrisccoulson has the same issue than me11:02
didrocksmaybe driver related…11:02
chrisccoulsonyeah, i think it's the same issue. i got lots of applet crash dialogs, and when i closed them all, i realised i had no window borders any more11:02
seb128njpatel, I've sent a trivial dee one last week to fix the build on natty11:02
chrisccoulsonso, i guess it's the same issue11:02
seb128njpatel, but no review so far, I'm wondering if I did something wrong11:03
seb128njpatel, the unity team is subscribed for review11:03
chrisccoulsonand Xorg keeps using 100% CPU after a few hours too. my laptop was roasting hot this morning when i woke up ;)11:03
didrocksrestarting in gnome-classic session with a clean profile11:03
seb128chrisccoulson, what driver do you use?11:03
chrisccoulsonseb128 - i91511:03
seb128ok, so intel as well11:03
njpatelseb128, maybe ask kamstrup to take a look?11:04
seb128njpatel, ok, so IRC pings are required, thanks ;-)11:04
chrisccoulsonoh no, i've ran out of coffee11:04
seb128njpatel,  I'm fine with that but we should be careful to not ignore contributors who don't know who to ping on IRC11:04
chrisccoulsonand my gf is at her parents house, with the car!11:05
seb128chrisccoulson, lol11:05
chrisccoulsonand it's too cold to walk to the supermarket ;)11:05
njpatelseb128, it's not about ignoring seb128, it's obviously just slipped through11:05
njpatelseb128, that happens to all projects :)11:05
seb128njpatel, well as a contributor I feel like my first contribution got ignored which makes we not want to come back :p11:05
didrocksok, the applets are crashing in gnome-classic… not sure if it's compiz related or not, trying with metacity11:06
seb128njpatel, joke aside I just wanted to check what works better for you guys to document it on the wiki11:06
njpatelyeah, kamstrup is on a call with me right now, will ping him afterwards11:06
bilalakhtardidrocks: FYI if I re-add the applets, it works11:12
didrocksbilalakhtar: not sure what's the issue is, I'll make some tries11:12
seb128in the unity session clicking on reload makes compiz crash there11:12
bilalakhtardidrocks: BTW, 'menu bar becoming blank' is a known issue in unity or not?11:13
bilalakhtarI can't find a bug11:13
seb128how blank?11:13
didrocksbilalakhtar: someone mentionned it on an unrelated bug, so please, open one11:13
seb128you mean if ie firefox is focussed?11:13
didrocksbilalakhtar: with lspci and such11:13
bilalakhtarokay11:13
bilalakhtarseb128: no, occurs with every app, even gnome-terminal and nautilus11:13
seb128dunno then11:13
bilalakhtarseb128: http://people.ubuntu.com/~bilalakhtar/Screenshot_natty.png11:13
seb128rodrigo_, ok, I'm done with unity playing for a bit, I will do sponsoring now11:15
seb128rodrigo_, do you have something else than gnome-panel and gnome-applets?11:16
didrocksso, the crash is compiz related11:26
didrocksvery clear when you set your windowmanager to metacity, I tried 5 boots without any crash11:26
didrocksI tried to deactivate the latest plugins I added: fade and animation, I still get some crashes11:26
chrisccoulsonis everybody else using unity now then?11:30
seb128sort of, I switch between them11:31
pittiI did for a while ,but switched back now11:31
pittifocus-follows-mouse and appmenu just don't go together11:31
chrisccoulsonpitti - yeah, that's my main reason for going back too11:32
seb128it creates flickering?11:32
chrisccoulsonfocus-follows-mouse and dual screen make it completely unusable ;)11:32
didrocksseb128: for appmenu11:32
pittino, it's impossible to catch the menu for the app you actually want11:32
seb128oh, right11:32
chrisccoulsonyeah, that's my problem too11:32
seb128uninstall appmenu-gtk?11:32
pittibecause while you move the mose, the menu switches to nautilus' or gnome-terminal's11:33
chrisccoulsonyeah, i might do. i'm not losing focus-follows-mouse ;)11:33
seb128without appmenu-gtk you should just go back to normal menus11:33
pittithat seems a nice package to file a bug against11:34
chrisccoulsoncan unity not turn off the menu in configurations where it's not appropriate? i think the menu really shouldn't be displayed on my setup at all11:34
chrisccoulsonhaving to move to the other screen to open the menu is not good11:35
chrisccoulsoni have to move my hand half way across my desk ;)11:35
seb128pitti, I think there is one about focus follows mouse open11:35
seb128chrisccoulson, open a bug on unity about that11:36
chrisccoulsonseb128 - yeah, will do11:36

didrocksseb128: there are some crash fixes in trunk, but it depends on other part of code and cherry picking isn't easy11:58
seb128it's probably the scrolling animation11:58

hyperairmy intel card works fine \o/12:05
hyperairprobably because i reported almost every crasher bug i hit already12:06

didrocks- package bug report -> incomplete12:09
didrocks+ adding an "ayatana design" task -> New12:10
didrocksthen, design can answer and change the unity status :)12:10

seb128chrisccoulson, it's false12:24
seb128chrisccoulson, it might be that it stealed my focus with the question and I hit enter12:25
didrocksoh yeah, the "you can mess up your system, take care" :)12:25
chrisccoulsonyeah, possibly12:25
didrockswe should do that in gconf-editor and say "not your fault \o/"12:25

seb128didrocks, ok, I suck, the CV was an odt so it was not evince ;-)12:31
seb128I managed to crash my xserver this time though12:31
didrocksseb128: ok, so it's the OOo crash… yeah, I didn't take that one, sorry :)12:31
seb128well compiz did take xorg down with it12:31
didrocksthe x server?12:31
didrocksoh bad…12:31
seb128didrocks, well at least I restarted my session and it worked fine12:36
seb128so it made me test the gconf change for the animation12:36
seb128I just realized12:36
seb128no crash ;-)12:36
didrocksnice \o/12:36
didrocksI'm still afraid it's a timing issue12:36

bilalakhtardidrocks: just saw your gnome-session upload, but not starting gnome-panel has a few consequences13:14
bilalakhtarlike Alt+F2 won't work13:14

bilalakhtarokay then13:15
didrocksbilalakhtar: it's better than having both, and you can set it in the command plugin13:15
pittididrocks: hm, will that disable gnome-panel in a GNOME session, too?13:24
didrockspitti: the GNOME session is the "unity" session (the default one)13:25

pittigtk-gi stuff is making progress :)13:47
pittiI need to pay mvo another beer to do another python-defer upload, then a beer for glatzor, then two more projects will move away from pygtk13:47
kenvandine:)13:47
kenvandineyay13:47
pittioh, and of course a beer for you for appindicator :)13:48
kenvandinenot done yet :)13:48
pittisince that's much harder, this will also include a big hug13:48
pittikenvandine: (I know, not that urgent)13:48
seb128hey kenvandine13:48
kenvandinehey seb12813:48
seb128kenvandine, have you seen the bug I assigned you last week about libgwibber not building in natty?13:48
kenvandinei wish we could drop the python bindings, but not yet13:48
* kenvandine looks13:48
kenvandinevaguely familiar13:49
seb128the reply is "no" then ;-)13:49
seb128kenvandine, could you add that to your todo?13:49
pittikenvandine: oh, is it the python bindings for appindicator which cause trouble?13:49
kenvandinewill do13:49
seb128thanks13:49
kenvandinepitti, no, just a pain to maintain13:49
kenvandinewe need to keep them around for gtk213:49
pittisbackup-gtk, lernid, virt-manager, ibus (jockey-gtk is prepared)13:49
pittiso, a bit of work, but could be doable13:50
kenvandineseb128, i suspect i know why it fails to build and it is fixed in trunk... just need to get it released13:50
seb128kenvandine, ok13:50
kenvandinei know trunk builds in pbuilder13:50
kenvandineseb128, how urgent is it?13:50
pittikenvandine: if we (I) port these four, we could drop the bindings, right?13:50
kenvandineno13:50
kenvandineother upstreams that have used it... we had a big push to get people to use appindicator13:51
kenvandinebut for n+113:51
pittiwe want to encourage upstreams to use py-ai instead of the gir?13:51
kenvandineno, we want to encourage gir13:51
kenvandinebut the API will be a little different13:51
pittiright, necessarily13:52
kenvandineso we don't want to just break anything they have done13:52
seb128kenvandine, not urgent13:52
seb128kenvandine, next week will do13:52
kenvandineseb128, ok, i want to break a few more bits of the api before doing another release :)13:52
pittikenvandine: if for nothing else, they need to port to GTK313:52
kenvandineindeed13:52
seb128kenvandine, ok13:52
kenvandineso we decided to give them a little more time13:52
pittikenvandine: so even having a compatibility shim of py-ai which translates to using the gir wouldn't mean zero porting13:52
kenvandineso we will build python-appindicator for gtk2 only13:52
pittikenvandine: ok, understood13:52
seb128it's not different from pygtk staying around for a while ;-)13:53
pittikenvandine: so for natty we'll have py-ai for gtk2 and a separate gtk3 version with gir?13:53
kenvandineyes13:53
pittiseb128: well, we need two appindicator APIs in parallel then13:53
pittisince we can't mix gtk2 and 313:53
pitti(tried that, falling over horribly)13:54
kenvandineif we can get libdee GIR working in python we can get rid of pygtk in gwibber too :)13:54
kenvandinewe are probably 50% done with the new vala client :)13:54
pittikenvandine: wow, you are rewriting gwibber in vala?13:54
kenvandinethe client13:55
kenvandinenjpatel did the cool part already :)13:55
kenvandinepure gtk... no webkit13:55
kenvandineit has been a "when we have time for it" thing, so no promises it will make it in for alpha2 :)13:55

kenvandinenjpatel, awesome, did you push it?13:56
njpatelkenvandine, yep13:56
kenvandinenjpatel, i am really at the point where i need to get the service exposing the dee model13:57
* njpatel hugs pitti13:57
njpatelpitti, I'm guessing non webkit is important to you too? :)13:57
kenvandinehoping the dee problems get fixed soon :)13:57
seb128pitti, right, I know about not mixing gtk version, that's why we keep most of GNOME3 in a ppa13:57
seb128we will probably not touch system indicators as well13:57
njpatelkenvandine, what were you blocking on with dee, again?13:57
pittinjpatel: not particularly, why? I guess TheMuso will appreciate the better a11y, though13:57
seb128but we need libappindicator bidding for each gtk13:57
kenvandinenjpatel, using dee with gir13:57
pittiseb128: right13:57
kenvandinein gwibber-service13:57

njpatelkenvandine, aah, is that still not working?13:58
kenvandinei think it is close13:58
kenvandinebut he had other priorities in front of me :)13:58
njpatelpitti, nothing, seemed like you were excited, thought maybe you'd like the faster startup etc :)13:58
kenvandineand much lower memory footprint :)13:58
pittinjpatel: I'm always generally excited about better performance, yes :)13:58
kenvandinenessita: i haven't forgotten about your upload, i got distracted last night13:59
nessitakenvandine: no problem, dholbach was looking to it (I thought you asked him to do it)13:59
kenvandineoh... i guess he just saw it in the queue13:59
kenvandinei'll let him do it then :)13:59
kenvandinei had a kid that didn't want to sleep last night, so didn't get back online until like midnight14:00
kenvandineand by then was too tired to do any reviewing :/14:00
njpatelpitti, Heh :) How is it coming back to platform this cycle? Missing OEM? :)14:00
njpatelkenvandine, are you blocked on me/kamstrup or just upstream?14:01
pittinjpatel: OEM was fun, but I actually like working on a product again which I use myself14:01
kenvandinenjpatel, kamstrup14:01
njpatelpitti, ah, that's an interesting view point14:01
pittinjpatel: I might do another rotation in the future, though; I had lots of time for hacking, which was nice14:01
kenvandinenjpatel, we think it is just a constructor14:01
njpatelpitti, DX!!14:01
njpatel:)14:01
kenvandineat least that is the most obvious problem14:01
pittinjpatel: and seeing the other side of "the fence" was an interesting view on its own right, to see what these guys are doing, etc.14:02
njpatelpitti, then we can have easter eggs that come up with your head and a speech bubble that says "I Pitti the fool!"14:02

kenvandinethat is what we get now in python using gir14:12
njpatelkenvandine, hmm, why?14:13
kenvandinenot sure, kamstrup is going to look at the constructor once he clears some higher priority stuff from his stack14:13
njpatelkenvandine, can you use other parts of the stack like sequence model etc?14:14
kenvandineoh wait, that is the wrong error14:14
kenvandinethat is from me trying to work around it14:14
didrocksseb128: I was rethinking about the defaults in the unity panel, we didn't set evolution there (because it was in the messaging menu). I don't remember why we didn't have the same conclusion for empathy14:14

rodrigo_seb128, were you running kde before? :D16:10
seb128rodrigo_, no, unity16:10
* seb128 slaps rodrigo_16:10
rodrigo_ah16:10
rodrigo_:)16:10
pittiseb128: wb; DSL reconnect or broken irc?16:11
rodrigo_seb128, the lñibgcr0 problem is because the old broken package is still in the ppa repo, even though a new version was submitted, with the fixes renaming it to libgcr-3-0, so how can we remove that old package?16:11
rodrigo_libgcr0, not  lñibgcr0 :)16:12
seb128pitti, unity testing and crappy intel16:12
seb128pitti, often the xserver goes down on user switching16:12
seb128or when compiz crashes the xsession crashes16:12
bcurtiswxseb128, that makes me feel alot better.. mine does the same thing16:13
rodrigo_:)16:14
rodrigo_pitti, so, no individual status reports any more on the meeting page?16:14
pittirodrigo_: that's how I understood it16:15
bcurtiswxrodrigo_, bcurtis@wx:~/Desktop$ aptitude why libgcr0 --> i   seahorse Depends libgcr0 (>= 2.26.0)16:15
rodrigo_oh16:16
rodrigo_right, we need a new seahorse on the ppa it seems then16:16
bcurtiswxyes16:16
seb128rodrigo_, I doubt there is an old gnome-keyring is the ppa16:19
seb128it's likely that bcurtiswx got that buggy version installed some time ago16:19
rodrigo_seb128, http://paste.ubuntu.com/538321/16:19
rodrigo_the version in the ppa is 0ubuntu216:20
didrocksok, goodbye firefox again, the issue with launchpad waste me too many times…16:20
didrockstime*16:20
micahgdidrocks: what issue?16:21
chrisccoulsondidrocks - which video driver are you using btw, i still can't reproduce it?16:22
didrockshttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/22323816:22
bcurtiswxseb128, also my aptitude why libgcr0 says that seahorse depends on it and it can't be removed ATM.16:22
ubot2Launchpad bug 223238 in clicompanion "lp:clicompanion is stacked on itself, giving maximum recursion depth error (affects: 2) (dups: 1) (heat: 14)" [High,Confirmed]16:22
didrockschrisccoulson: nvidia with the nvidia driver16:22
didrocksthere are a lot of dups16:22
seb128bcurtiswx, rodrigo_: ok, you were right, I deleted the buggy gnome-keyring from the ppa16:23
rodrigo_seb128, ok, but how that can be?16:24
seb128https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/+archive/gnome3-builds/+delete-packages has some "superseded" sources16:24
rodrigo_if you submit a new version of the package, the old subpackages don't get removed?16:24
seb128not sure why it keeps those though16:24
rodrigo_ah16:24
mvodidrocks: LP and stacking seems to be rather anoying, I ran into bug #68143116:24
seb128well "had"16:24
ubot2Launchpad bug 681431 in launchpad-code (and 1 other project) "confusing error when original stacked branch becomes invalid later (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/68143116:24

rodrigo_seb128, ok, thanks16:25
didrocksmvo: hum, I don't see the link with the rendering issue between firefox and launchpad TBH :)16:27
bcurtiswxso soon with a dist-upgrade i won't have the gcr issue anymore?16:28

bcurtiswxseb128, rodrigo_, awesome.  thx and i'll get out of the way for your meeting :)16:28
rodrigo_bcurtiswx, sorry I didn't see it, I'm just updating selectively, no upgrade/dist-upgrade16:29
bcurtiswxrodrigo_, i'll let you all know fo any errors i get in the future that IDK how to fix.. :)16:29
rodrigo_bcurtiswx, ok, please :)16:29
mvodidrocks: oh, """"lp:clicompanion is stacked on itself, giving maximum recursion depth error (affects: 2) (dups: 1) (heat: 14)""" is what the bot told me16:29

pittiX update -> eastern edition16:40
pitti[TOPIC] Unity update16:40
pittididrocks: anything which is currently blocking you or that we should be aware of for A1?16:40
pittiFYI, I just respun a desktop image with your latest gnome-session fix16:41
didrocksnothing blocked, just uploaded latest bits16:41
pitti http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20101130.1/16:41
didrockspitti: oh, there is a new unity just uploaded16:41
pittitest away16:41
didrocksjust making the short summary first:16:41
didrocksUnity is the default in ubuntu now!16:41
didrocksNow we have two sessions: one "Ubuntu Desktop" which launch unity by default and one "Ubuntu Classic" which launches compiz (if supported) and gnome-panel. The compiz profiles are separated as well.16:41
didrocksWe got a new Unity and Nux release, still improving the desktop experience, handle the migration with previous launcher settings16:41
didrocksThere is a new compiz with a lot of improvment and fixes like 2D/3D detection, fallback, fixes gconf backend and old transition settings migration16:41
didrocksUnity and all compiz plugins now builds -dbgsym packages16:41
didrocks(so, use apport to report unity backtrace)16:41
pittididrocks: congrats for landing all this by A1! great job, I know it was far from easy16:42
didrockspitti: thanks :)16:42
didrockspitti: so, there is a new bamf + nux + unity just uploaded16:42
didrockspitti: if that can make A1, will be nice16:42
pittiack16:42
pittitomorrow's dailies then16:42
didrocksyes16:42
pittiI'll make sure that we do that16:43
didrocksthanks a lot pitti :)16:43
pittino worries16:43
pittithanks didrocks16:44
pitti[TOPIC] Software-center16:44
tremoluxheyo16:44
tremolux * Released Software Center version 3.1.3, includes further performance improvements and bugfixes16:44
tremolux * Now tracking Software Center startup performance on reference hardware (Dell Mini 10) at:16:44
tremolux  * http://people.canonical.com/~mvo/software-center/mini10-startup/startup-times.png16:44
tremolux * Additional Software Center startup improvements in-progress, further 20%+ speedup in a branch soon to be merged16:44
pittitremolux: anything which we sohuld be aware of or you want to announce?16:44
pittiwhoo16:44
pittitremolux: you have a "paste-on-hilight" trigger, don't you?16:44
rodrigo_:)16:44
tremoluxyep, I am actually off having an espresso at Starbucks right now16:44
pittitremolux: did the startup performance get a lot better again with swithcing back to uncompressed indexes?16:45
pittitremolux: /me wants to see the source for tremolux.py16:45
tremoluxpitti: it did improve it, not sure how much16:45
mvoits not much influenced by this as it was mostly using the binray cache, but for invalid-caches it does help (not measured how much though)16:45
pitti6 s on a Dell Mini 10, aka "abacus" is pretty nice16:45
mvomore to come (we hope :)16:46
pittiadmittedly it's still 5 s here on a fast machine16:46
pittiso it seems not to be much CPU bound16:46
mvo5s for you on a ssd with --measure-startup-time?16:46
pittimvo: with "count in my brain"16:47
pittiyes, 250 MB/s SSD and 2.4 GHz quad-core16:47
pittibut anyway, nice work on this!16:47
pitti[TOPIC] release status16:47
pittihttp://people.canonical.com/~platform/workitems/natty/canonical-desktop-team-natty-alpha-1.html16:47
pittithis doesn't look too bad, it by and large seems that everyone (on average) was just missing one WI16:48
pittiwe can easily transition them to A2 if they are blocked by the A1 freeze16:48
pittibut please make sure that your WIs are up to date16:48
pittias for RC bugs, it's well within normal parameters right now16:49
pittiwould be nice if bryceh and RAOF could bring up bug 292214 in the eastern edition16:49
ubot2Launchpad bug 292214 in xserver-xorg-video-mga (Ubuntu Natty) (and 2 other projects) "Xinerama broken since intrepid on MGA (affects: 14) (dups: 1) (heat: 124)" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/29221416:49

pittiseb128: I'll assign him, thanks16:51
seb128thanks16:51
pittiSarvatt: awesome, thnaks16:51
pittithat's all from my side for release status, questions?16:52
pittijasoncwarner: hello16:52
seb128hey jasoncwarner16:52
jasoncwarnermorning guys16:52
seb128jasoncwarner, perfect timing to miss the missing again :p16:52
pittijasoncwarner: meeting started 22 mins ago16:53
pitti[TOPIC] new meeting report format16:53
chrisccoulsonhi jasoncwarner!16:53
pittiso, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Meeting/2010-11-30 used the new format16:53
pittiI think we ought to go back to the previous template, though, to include actions and the various status reports16:53
pittibut the "changes since last week" think looks pretty nice as a summary16:53
pittiwhat do you guys think?16:54
didrocksdon't you think it looks like a draft? :)16:54
pittiwell, it is16:54
kenvandineit did actually make me want to read over the list16:54
pittiI mean the size and contents looks fairly appropriate to me for a team report of a week16:54
kenvandinehowever, i think we should probably always append to the bottom, which would make it easier to go back and look at a second time16:55
didrocksI agree with that16:55
pittiI'm just curious how everyone likes it more or less now16:55
rodrigo_it would be easier to read if it had sections, like 'Natty updates', 'software center', etc?16:55
pittirodrigo_: I think that'd be part of actually cleaning and writing them up16:55
pittithis is supposed to be the raw input for the weekly report, AFAIUI?16:56
seb128well it was a comment made last week16:56
seb128we said we would try without category16:56
seb128it would work as well to dump into categories16:56
pittiseb128: you mean including folding partner, unity, etc. into that?16:56
pittiwell, worth a try16:56
seb128yes16:56
pittimight be the discretion of whoever will write this up16:56
seb128<kenvandine> however, i think we should probably always append to the bottom, which would make it easier to go back and look at a second time16:56
pittito make something nice and readable16:56
pittiseb128: ok, WFM16:57
seb128kenvandine, robert_ancell suggested to sort it in real time by interest16:57
kenvandineseb128, yeah16:57
kenvandinebut if i look at it this morning and then again later today16:57
pittiseb128: so we should update our meeting template accordingly; I would like to see actions separately16:57
seb128so it you are bored before the end of the list you get the key points16:57
kenvandinei would have to read the whole thing again16:57
didrockskenvandine: just wait… there is no hurry to read it little by little, isn't it? :)16:58
mterrydidrocks, well, if it's being updated over the course of the week...16:58
seb128didrocks, well one thing we said is that it could be used during the week to pick up blockers etc16:59
didrocksseb128: in that case, we can have an "update" in bold? when it's filed after the meeting?16:59
kenvandineperhaps if it gets compiled into another final weekly report, the person that does it could put it in order16:59
kenvandinebut while it is a WIP we just append to the end...17:00
didrockskenvandine: seems you volonteer :)17:00
* kenvandine hides17:00
pittiok, so let's try the full thing all the way up to the final mail17:00
kenvandineok17:00
pittijasoncwarner: we still need to incorporate the Eastern edition meeting there17:00
kenvandinein general i like the concept behind it better than what we did before17:00
jasoncwarnerpitti: yeah, eastern edition is later today...17:01
pittijasoncwarner: is it ok for you if I just paste in the log from this meeting to the wiki page, and you merge the X.org updates etc. from Eastern edition?17:01
jasoncwarnerpitti: yup!17:01
pittiok17:01
pitti[TOPIC] AOB17:01
pittianything else?17:02
jasoncwarnerpitti: I do17:02
pittiplease go ahead17:02
jasoncwarnerfirst, sorry for being late. two words: sick kid. ugh17:02
jasoncwarnersecond, I have two things I wanted to discuss quickly17:02
pittioh, good luck with her/him!17:02
jasoncwarner1. Discuss dropping desktopcouch from the CD. Lets explore the possibility of removing this as a default package.17:03
didrocks(onneeeeconfffff :/)17:03
pittiwe'd have to unseed evolution-couchdb17:03
pittiwhich will probably require making this discoverable in evolution somehow?17:04
pitti(installing the package from the net sounds fine, since all U1 only makes sense with an internet connection anyway)17:04
kenvandineor in ubuntuone-preferences17:04
pittikenvandine: ah, good point17:04
kenvandinethey do that already for bindwood17:04
rodrigo_yes17:04
seb128didrocks wanted to get oneconf integration in ubiquity as well17:04
kenvandinedidrocks, that woud be cool!17:05
pittikenvandine: when you enable contacts syncing, you'd get an aptdaemon dialog for installing desktopcouch?17:05
didrocksyeah, which means more work as installing desktopcouch on the same time17:05
kenvandineyeah17:05
didrocksbut well, in any case, you need the network, so installing it in ubiquity while getting u1 credentials is doable17:06
didrocksjust more work17:06
pittididrocks: in terms of download resources, or also in terms of changing ubiquity?17:07
didrockspitti: changing ubiquity (just a guess) as it has to download it, starts it to then use it for oneconf17:07
didrocksbut again, just a guess and not a blocker "theorically"17:08
jasoncwarnerso what I hear is that right now the only thing on the CD that needs it is evolution and that needs a network to be useful anyway...it would require some patching on our part right now. Other things using it in the near future would be ubiquity and oneconf (both of which require network as well, right?)?17:08
didrocksjasoncwarner: exactly, as you need network in any case, it makes sense17:09
pittijasoncwarner: ubiquity is the installer; it would be the conduit to get oneconf17:09
jasoncwarnerpitti: yeah, but do we require network in ubiquity when using ubuntu one/one conf?17:09
pittijasoncwarner: ubiquity/installer itself doesn't17:09
pittibut it offers you to install extra driver pacakges and install updates if you have network17:10
pittienabling oneconf would use the same check17:10
jasoncwarnerpitti: ok...that makes sense17:10
pittii. e. it already has all the building blocks: checking connectivity, actions conditionalized on that, and installing pacakges17:10
didrockspitti: just need the launching services, but shouldn't be complicated to sneak in17:11
pittikenvandine: We alrady have a checkbox for syncing contacts in U1-prefs; can we use this, instead of patching evo?17:11
kenvandineyeah17:11
pittisounds great17:11
didrockspitti: u1-pref is deprecated AFAIK17:11
kenvandinethey have the logic in there already for bookmarks17:11
rodrigo_yes, u1-control-panel replaces it17:11
rodrigo_so, we need to let nessita know about this17:12
kenvandineso if you check bookmarks it installs bindwood17:12
didrocks(still waiting NEWing btw :))17:12
pittikenvandine: that sounds perfect; can you add a work item for this for the U1 team?17:12
seb128didrocks, will do it, the NEWing17:12
* nessita is here17:12
kenvandinesure17:12
didrocksseb128: thanks :)17:12
pittikenvandine: thanks17:12
nessitakenvandine: u1prefs is being replaced17:12
pittijasoncwarner: ok, this seems like a good solution and consensus17:13
jasoncwarnercool. does anyone think we shouldn't remove desktopcouch? I haven't heard anyone jump up and say we absolutely have to keep it. :)17:13
kenvandinenessita, yeah17:13
seb128jasoncwarner, pitti: the u1 team will be unhappy17:13
seb128but out of this...17:13
rodrigo_nessita, we're discussing about removing desktopcouch from the CD, and so have evo-couchdb and its dependencies installed when the user selects syncing of contacts in u1-control-panel17:13
seb128I would say do it early and see what users think17:13
pittiseb128: just because it's "theirs", or because it will make the user ecperience much worse?17:13
seb128pitti, because they think it'll slow u1 adoption I think17:14
nessitarodrigo_: I'm not sure about that, our roadmap does not plan for that17:14
jasoncwarnerseb128: ack on that. I'll go talk to them about it17:14
pittiof course we won't drop it until that automagic install will be working17:14
nessitarodrigo_: that meaning, is not a trivial adding to the control panel to install some packages to enable contact synch17:14
pitti[ACTION] jasoncwarner to negotiate evo-couchdb dropping with U1 team, and automagic installation via u1-control-panel17:15
pittiI think we can help with the control-panel integartion17:15
pittijust to agree to the approach17:15
jasoncwarnerpitti: got the item :)17:15
pittijasoncwarner: what was the other thing you want to discuss?17:15
jasoncwarnerif that is settled...only other thing I have is17:15
jasoncwarner2. OOo is crashing in Natty right now :) Something to watch for (in other words could people test it).17:16

didrocksjasoncwarner: when scrolling?17:17

pittiit does look a bit funny, though (the buttons have some shadow)17:17
pittibut I guess that needs to wait for an OO.o maintainer17:17
seb128jasoncwarner, works there17:17
jasoncwarnerpitti: didrocks: I had reports of a crash and I had a crash (might be unrelated...was asking people to watch for it).17:18
seb128didrocks, this crasher crashes compiz not the application though17:18
pittijasoncwarner: right, current compiz crashes all the time17:18
didrocksseb128: sometimes, compiz brings the application with him17:18
didrocksit*17:18
kenvandinenot really unlike mutter :)17:18
Sarvattcompiz doesn't crash often here, just gtk-window-decorator crashing and respawning constantly taking out window decorations17:19
jasoncwarnerpitti: I'm done :)17:19

seb128dobey, or point to a vcs which has the upload to build18:49
seb128or do a merge request against the packaging vcs18:49

seb128if they have a vcs do a merge request18:53
dobeyjust the branch from the import from the original uploads18:54
dobeyshould i merge against that, or just do the diff.gz?18:54

seb128like having the changelog having "natty-ppa"19:29
seb128so uploads to natty would fail19:29
micahgseb128: only if you set the series in .dput.cf like I did (see the incoming line)19:29

jasoncwarnerbryceh: RAOF: robert_ancell: TheMuso: you guys here?22:02
TheMusoYep.22:02
robert_ancelljasoncwarner, yup22:02
jasoncwarnermorning TheMuso: robert_ancell22:02
jasoncwarner(giving RAOF and bryceh another minute)22:03
jasoncwarnerOk...guess we should get started...22:05
jasoncwarnerwas everyone able to update meeting notes? this is the week we are trying out something new.22:05
* jasoncwarner gives everyone a minute to load and review page *very* quickly22:06
TheMusoTotally slipped my mind. I must admit I am a bit absorbed with the unity a11y stuff atm, absorbed to the point where I tend to forget administrative matters occasionally.22:07
jasoncwarnerwestern edition has some comments (see chat log on format).22:07
chrisccoulsonoh, i just added my bits to the summary, i probably should have done that earlier though ;)22:08
jasoncwarnerchrisccoulson: thanks ;)22:08
jasoncwarnerOk...moving on to topics22:09
robert_ancellhow do the eastern edition people find the notes for reading?22:09
TheMusoI find them ok.22:10
robert_ancellok, better? ok, same?22:10
* jasoncwarner notes the lively bunch this morning. 22:11
jasoncwarner;)22:11
TheMusoFor me, its no different to how things were, since I tend to be aware of what is going on already./22:11
TheMusoThe format is easier to digets though.22:11
robert_ancellTheMuso, so did you previously read them, and do you read them now?22:11
TheMusoI read them now because feedback is wanted. I tended to read reports of those people's work that affects me, or interests me.22:12
TheMusoI do prefer the older meeting summary format./22:13
TheMusothough22:13
robert_ancellTheMuso, ok.  What aspects of the older format do you think the new format is missing?22:13
RAOF_Sorry; compiz thought that was a good time to wedge my desktop.22:13
TheMusoA list of action items, partner update, kubuntu update, etc.22:14
robert_ancellRAOF_: heh, know that22:14
robert_ancellTheMuso, ok, so we still have action item.  The headings are not there for this trial, but I'm going to make an alternative write up with headings so we can compare22:14
jasoncwarnerRAOF_ :)22:14
chrisccoulsoni like the general summary idea in the new format, but it seems to have ended up with there being a lot of text, and presented in a slightly disorganized way22:14
TheMusook.22:15
TheMusochrisccoulson: Yeah I agree with that.22:15
robert_ancellchrisccoulson, do you think a few headings (X, Unity etc) will improve that?22:15
=== Richie is now known as WelshDragon
RAOF_I noticed that I was the ony person who did any updates to it during the week.  Unless I was looking at the wrong place :)22:15
robert_ancelljasoncwarner, do we have any actions to put in that section22:15
robert_ancellRAOF_, you were :)22:15
chrisccoulsonrobert_ancell, yeah, a few headings would definately help there22:15
TheMusoAs I said, I tend to gravitate to those things that affect/interest me only, so sorting with some kind of heading structure would make that easier.22:16
TheMusoGranted, a lot of the desktop goings on do interest me.22:16
AmaranthI wish launchpad had some way of making package groups so I could see all of the bugs from several packages at once22:16
jasoncwarnerrobert_ancell: I have an action, but haven't gotten to it yet. though, my action is to mail out summary ;)22:17
seb128hey guys ;-)22:17
RAOF_Amaranth: That would be pretty useful; moreso if you could do tag groups (like: kernel bugs marked “radeon” + xserver-xorg-video-radeon + Xorg bugs)22:18
jasoncwarnerhey seb12822:18
seb128robert_ancell, jasoncwarner: I find the sections easier to read as well22:18
RAOF_Good evening seb12822:18
seb128hey RAOF22:18
robert_ancellseb128, hey22:18
AmaranthRAOF_: I want it for compiz packages :)22:18
seb128well I find the summary easier to read with section22:18
seb128like having a clear summary of the s-c, unity, xorg worlds22:18
AmaranthAt one point I moved all of the bugs to the compiz package for just this reason but the bugsquad outsmarted me and moved a lot of them back and new bugs of course don't go to the right place22:19
jasoncwarnerseb128: I think that is the general comment... robert_ancell was going to try an adapted format with headings...22:19
seb128Amaranth, the best way is to get a team subscribed to all the components you want to watch and watch the team bug22:19
RAOF_Amaranth: Talk to bryceh about getting one or more arsenal scripts to do what you want?22:19
seb128or that22:19
jasoncwarnerok...on to quick topics for eastern edition22:20
AmaranthYeah, I should see if we can get the compiz packagers team subscribed to all of them22:20
jasoncwarner[TOPIC] X update22:20
seb128jasoncwarner, right, I was just giving my personal opinion on the summary from this week22:20
robert_ancellso, I wanted to try the minimum complexity report, and now we have a baseline we can try headings22:20
AmaranthI think it's only subscribed to compiz22:20
jasoncwarnerRAOF_ or bryceh?22:20
AmaranthOh, am I interrupting a meeting?22:20
RAOF_X update:22:20
jasoncwarnerAmaranth: it's all good! no worries...we are going to be quick anyway...22:21
RAOF_Mesa 7.9 merged from Debian; this includes a switch to the gallium r300 driver and we're also building the r600 gallium driver (but it's not enabled by default)22:21
RAOF_There's also a new xorg.conf option to switch between the two drivers - ForceGallium true will enable the gallium driver, ForceGallium false will enable the classic driver, and omitting the option will choose the default.22:22
brycehheya22:23
RAOF_Mesa also shaved many megabytes of it's install size by dynamically linking the DRI drivers.22:23
brycehwe also brought up idea of moving to xserver 1.1022:23
RAOF_There doesn't seem to be anything radioactive in 1.10, so we'll probably choose to ship it in Natty, but the discussion has just started.22:24
jasoncwarneroh, bryceh and I were talking about wayland and 3d v 2d drivers for chipsets like nvidia. ....he mentioned I should ask about 3d state in -nouveau drivers... I think that is for RAOF?22:25
RAOF_Ok.  3D state in nouveau is: Upstream still doesn't want bug reports.22:26
RAOF_However, the 3D is pretty solid.22:26
RAOF_It's no less solid than some other DRI drivers we're shipping - savage, mga, etc.22:26
brycehof the userbase numbers I've seen, NVIDIA graphics hardware is by far the most widely owned22:26
brycehwhich means if we had a solid nouveau+unity story, then the unity play will go a lot further22:27
jasoncwarnerbryceh: that was going to be my question...I guess I can update to unity and try nouveau and see :)22:28
RAOF_There are a couple of remaining problems - nouveau 3D is more likely to hit paths that end in a GPU lockup, and nouveau doesn't yet have powermanagement (although that looks moderately likely to land in 2.6.38)22:28
RAOF_And then there are some newer chips which nouveau won't drive at all, but that's somewhat par for the course. :/22:29
brycehan uneviable choice we have22:30
brycehwe can opt to stick with non-3D nouveau, and thus limit how many people will be able to run unity by at least 50%22:31
jasoncwarnerthanks, RAOF_ ...I'll probably ping you later to discuss a bit more22:31
jasoncwarnerbryceh: is that glass half full or half empty talking? ;)22:31
robert_ancellor damned if you do, and damned if you don't22:32
brycehor we can enable 3D on nouveau to support unity, but likely cause widespread breakages, and lots of bug reports that we won't be able to do anything about (since upstream won't take the bug reports, and since gpu hang bugs are insanely hard to troubleshoot)22:32
brycehI think robert_ancell has it.  ;-)22:32
jasoncwarner:)22:32
RAOF_I don't know how likely widespread breakages are, although they're certianly a risk.22:33
jasoncwarnerok... bryceh and RAOF_, I'd like to talk more outside the meeting just so I have a feel for it.22:33
jasoncwarnercool?22:33
RAOF_Yup.22:33
brycehwell one last question... does unity run on -nvidia ?22:33
RAOF_Yes.22:33
chrisccoulsondidrocks runs it on nvidia i think22:33
brycehok, then no problem22:33
RAOF_Like kwin, many of the DX team develop on nvidia systems :)22:34
chrisccoulsoni steer clear of nvidia systems having owned a nvidia based desktop for years22:34
chrisccoulson:)22:34
* TheMuso recently swapped out the NVIDIA card in his desktop for a 2nd hand amd card.22:34
RAOF_The AMD cards do have the advantage of working out of the box, yeah. :)22:35
TheMusoAlthough my notebook has NVIDIA, so I don't get to avoid it entirely22:35
brycehthe wayland + unity + nouveau combo we probably don't need to worry about getting sorted for natty22:35
* RAOF_ shudders22:35
bryceh;-)22:35
RAOF_Are we going to have a wayland + unity + *anything* combo for Natty?22:36
jasoncwarnernext topic [TOPIC] A11y22:36
jasoncwarnerRAOF_ wayland? no22:36
RAOF_Yeah, didn't think so.22:36
TheMusoNot really much to report. Started working on a an a11y design for the launcher, but was then asked to look at the unity panel, as the qa team want to start automated testing on it.22:36
TheMusoThe issue with the unity panel is whilst one can navigate menus once clicked on, i.e navigate up/down menus, one cannot move from one menu to another using arrow keys.22:37
TheMusoWhilst not an a11y issue as such, it does prevent testing, and general keyboard usage.22:37
TheMusoA solution also needs to be found for labeling indicator icons in the accessibility framework, which I am currently looking into now.22:37
seb128the left,right not working issue is a bug22:38
TheMusoseb128: Yes exactly.22:38
seb128did you let the unity team know it's blocking testing?22:39
TheMusonjpatel asked me to look at the panel because QA wanted to test it, I just had a play with the panel as much as I could and reported my findings.22:39
TheMusoSo I think they are aware that its blocking testing.22:41
jasoncwarnerTheMuso: I would confirm...just to be sure..22:42
TheMusoOk.22:42
* TheMuso feels stretched in multiple directions atm...22:42
TheMuso:)22:42
jasoncwarner[TOPIC] Anything Else?22:42
jasoncwarnerrobert_ancell: wasn't sure what you wanted to report22:43
robert_ancelljasoncwarner, report?22:43
robert_ancelljust the usual gnome2.32/gnome3 updates from me22:44
robert_ancellOne last thing, I tidied up the formatting of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Meeting/2010-11-30 and added sections22:44
brycehrobert_ancell, I like the new format a lot.  much easier to grok22:46
robert_ancellbryceh, needs some graphs though :)22:46
brycehI have one!22:46
brycehhttp://www2.bryceharrington.org:8080/X/Reports/ubuntu-x-swat/totals-natty-workqueue.svg22:46
brycehkind of a boring graph, but in this case that's a very good thing ;-)22:48
robert_ancellbryceh, nice :), we need an easy way to drop that sort of thing in22:48
* jasoncwarner notes his love of graphs22:48
brycehthis is enabling us to keep tight track of *all* xorg bugs filed against natty22:49
seb128bryceh, what do you consider the "workqueue"?22:49
seb128the bugs which have a natty task?22:50
brycehseb128, bugs that need our attention; i.e. that are not Incomplete without response, or forwarded upstream, or fix committed22:50
brycehseb128, no it looks for bugs that have  a tag 'natty'22:50
seb128the count seems really low...22:50
brycehapport and arsenal add 'natty' tags automatically where we can determine the user's version based on logs22:50
brycehseb128, yes but we're still pre-alpha-122:51
* TheMuso notes his dislike of graphs.22:51
brycehmy experience has been that it'll go up exponentially as we get towards beta22:51
seb128well, you consider that all issues open before natty don't concern natty unless someone checks and confirms it's still an issue then?22:52
seb128(just curious of other teams workflows)22:52
brycehseb128, that's correct22:52
brycehseb128, I might bug-spam people to ask them to re-test maverick bugs against natty after alpha-1 or alpha-2, as I've done in the past22:53
brycehand then if they run apport-collect it should re-tag them natty22:53
brycehand then they'll appear on this chart :-)22:53
brycehTheMuso, that's a fair point.  It would be pretty straightforward for me to represent the data in a table format as well22:54
TheMusobryceh: ok cool.22:54
brycehTheMuso, which would be displayed in a format similar to http://www2.bryceharrington.org:8080/X/Reports/ubuntu-x-swat/patches.html22:55
TheMusook22:55
brycehTheMuso, just let me know if it is something you would use, I'd be more than happy to set it up22:55
TheMusobryceh: Thanks for the heads up, will let you know if I am interested.22:55
seb128bryceh, interesting22:55
seb128I'm still trying to figure how to deal with desktop bugs22:56
brycehTheMuso, already collecting the data and generating a few graphs for audio bugs - http://www2.bryceharrington.org:8080/X/Reports/ubuntu-audio/22:56
seb128we pretty much stopped dealing with them and rely on qa or triager to raise issues nowadays...22:56
* TheMuso looks.22:56
seb128but it's not really optimal22:56
brycehseb128, so far I'm liking this approach, it helps us focus on ones confirmed as natty bugs, and we can get to them very quickly (same day service) if the user filed them using apport22:57
brycehand it feels good to be able to drive a graph to zero :-)22:57
TheMusoAudio is a firehose as well, so we tend to just deal with them as they come in, as best we can. Because we often have to wait a long while before we can actually get fixes into the dev release at the time, its just easier to work upstream and let users know when the fix has arrived.22:57
seb128well you can get to triaging quickly22:57
seb128but it means you might get old bugs slipping out easily22:58
brycehTheMuso, *nod*.  I sometimes do similar, that's why I count "forwarded upstream" as a (temporary) resolution to exclude the bug from this chart22:58
TheMusoRight.22:59
brycehI think I have it set so when the upstream bug gets marked fix released, it'll show up again in the work queue (so I can decide about backporting the fix)22:59
brycehthere's also a separate report just for those types of bugs - e.g. http://www2.bryceharrington.org:8080/X/Reports/ubuntu-audio/upstream-fixed.html23:00
brycehrobert_ancell, are we going to continue to use the new meeting report format for next week?23:02
seb128bryceh, could you get a timestamp on the pages?23:02
brycehseb128, yep, sure can23:03
robert_ancellbryceh, I want to, I guess it's up to jasoncwarner?23:03
seb128bryceh, http://www2.bryceharrington.org:8080/X/Reports/desktop-bugs/23:03
robert_ancellI think most people are convinced it's the same or better23:03
seb128bryceh, does the timestamps there means only the milestone one is updated?23:03
seb128robert_ancell, I think most people will be convinced it's better with your formatting update you did ;-)23:03
brycehseb128, yes, but I'll get those flipped back on.  Sometimes launchpad chokes with some of the larger bug collections23:04
seb128robert_ancell, I think most people will be convinced it's better with your formatting update you did ;-)23:04
seb128ups23:04
seb128bryceh, ok, thanks23:05
seb128bryceh, did you think about getting those scripts run on a people page rather than your own server?23:05
seb128would that be possible?23:05
seb128(like depends available etc)?23:06
* jasoncwarner can't tell if we are still having meeting anymore (not saying much about my moderation skills ;) )23:06
robert_ancelljasoncwarner, break out the gavel23:06
jasoncwarner[END MEETING] :)23:06
jasoncwarnerrobert_ancell: btw..like the newly formatted wiki as well.23:06
jasoncwarnergroups help me and I like the summary also23:07
seb128I like having the words highlighted23:07
RAOF_Yeah, that's really good.23:09
brycehseb128, I used to rsync the results onto the people page but elmo asked not to do that since he didn't want automated things with ssh keys23:09
seb128bryceh, well that would not be really useful (out of sparing some load from your server)23:10
brycehseb128, I have on my todo list to investigate running the scripts there but it's a bit tricky due to dependencies and stuff23:10
seb128I was rather asking because things running on people can be edited by any platform team member23:10
micahgjasoncwarner: got a minute for a PM?23:11
seb128like having the work items tracker there is a nice win for pitti and for others as well23:11
seb128it means any team can tweak their queries23:11
seb128bryceh, ok23:11
seb128not sure how much you need23:11
brycehseb128, ah, true, I've just assumed no one else would be interested in helping maintain the jobs, but it's worth considering23:11
seb128I would be interested maintaining the desktop ones23:12
seb128or at least helping maintaining those :-)23:12
jasoncwarnermicahg: certainly23:12
brycehok cool, I'll poke around on people and see what's available.  There's one dependency for doing html templates which I know won't be there but I can probably replace with a different one (the one the security team uses).23:14
brycehwith the wayland stuff winding down, I can turn focus to working on the reporting stuff more23:14
RAOF_bryceh: Oh, thinking of which, is there anything more in the mesa department you'd like me to review?23:17
brycehRAOF_, next step with that is to make sure wayland works on radeon and nouveau, so making sure mesa is packaging the right bits there is the big thing23:17
brycehafter that, the focus would turn to getting the packaging bits and pieces (like cairo-gl) accepted into the archive23:18
brycehwhich doesn't have to be done for natty, but the more we can get done, the easier waylandy things will be in the future23:18
RAOF_Right.23:19
brycehRAOF_, so I'd be interested in hearing of any of the packaging that can't be taken into natty for whatever reason, so we can explore/resolve those issues in coming weeks/months23:19
RAOF_We should be able to get all the mesa ducks in a row at the very least.23:19
RAOF_Hm.  Is there no natty build of wayland in the PPA?23:20
brycehRAOF_, not yet, just been focusing on maverick23:21
RAOF_Ok.  When there is I'll test on my nouveau & radeon systems.23:21
brycehbut I think that's close enough to done that we can do natty builds23:21
brycehalright desktop-bugs is re-enabled - http://www2.bryceharrington.org:8080/X/Reports/desktop-bugs/23:27
brycehhmm, I bet a lot of the bugs on http://www2.bryceharrington.org:8080/X/Reports/ubuntu-x-swat/upstream-fixed.html could be closed23:28
brycehRAOF_, as you package new releases ^^ might be a useful report for finding bugs #'s to include in changelogs to auto-close ;-)23:29
RAOF_:)23:36
