joaopintothe following code works as expected when triggered by the nofitication context menu, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/544346/09:37
joaopintoit does not when called from the appindicator menu09:38
joaopintowith the appindicator using the close button on the dialog will not destroy it09:38
joaopintoany ideas ?09:38

kvalonjpatel: hi. I updated unity yesterday and I don't see menus anymore. neither in the panel nor in firefox10:07
kvalonjpatel: if I use "classic" desktop, I can see the menus. I'm about to file a bug about this10:07
njpatelkvalo, killall unity-panel-service; /usr/lib/unity/unity-panel-service10:07
njpatelkvalo, and then see if there are any errors10:08
kvalonjpatel: ok, I'll try that. I need to boot to natty first, so it takes some time10:08
njpatelkvalo, okay, the only other thing is that there is a lib mismatch with indicator-datetime right now, so you might need to remove it for panel service to work10:09
njpatelkvalo, it's using the old dbusmenu10:09
kvalonjpatel: ok, I'll try that first10:34
kvalonjpatel: now the session is stuck, only mouse pointer moves. what's an easy way to restart everything without rebooting?10:34
njpatelkvalo, sudo restart gdm10:36
kvalonjpatel: removed indicator-datetime and still see the problem11:00
kvalonjpatel: service output here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/544381/11:01
njpatelkvalo, do you see the indicators?11:01
kvalonjpatel: yes11:01
njpatelkvalo, but just no appmenu?11:01
njpatelthat's weird11:02
kvalonjpatel: and when I click an indicator, I see the border around the icon but no menu11:02
njpatelkvalo, oh, wait11:02
njpatelkvalo, you see the file menu item in the panel, but you can't see the menu11:02
kvalonjpatel: clarification: Isee indicator icon, but not indicator menus11:02
kvalonjpatel: yes11:02
njpatelkvalo, and you just updated your system? Or it needs to be updated11:03
kvalonjpatel: also I don't see any menus in firefox11:03
njpatelkvalo, I had the same issue yesterday, but I couldn't even see right-click menu s11:03
njpatelkvalo, I updated the entire system and i haven't seen it since11:03
njpateli had a compiz update waiting11:03
kvalonjpatel: I also updated 15 mins ago. but I check again for updates11:04
njpatelno, that won't be it11:04
njpatelkvalo, you can't see the menu in firefox either, which doesn't use panel menus, right?11:05
njpatelkvalo, I think there is a screw up in the painting order which is hitting us11:05
njpatelkvalo, for instance, yesterday I was right-clicking on xchat and the menu was appearing behind the window!11:05
kvalodamn, windows got stuck again11:07
kvalonjpatel: yes, firefox was _not_ using appmenus11:07
njpatelyeah, we need sam11:07
njpatelsomething is screwed in compiz11:07
njpatelkvalo, sorry dude, there's not much I can do right now :(11:08
njpatelI can ask jason to take a look when he's up11:08
kvalonjpatel: no worries, I just wanted to inform you about the issues. I'll do most of my work in maverick still11:08
kvalonjpatel: do you want me to file a bug about the menu issue?11:09
coz_out of curiosity, when launcher is set to autohide... if there are icons on the desktop...shouldnt it also autohide?   http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/screenshots/iconshide.png11:41
njpatelkvalo, yes please11:43
kvalonjpatel: ok, will do. I'm in maverick again, but I'll file a bug later in the evening11:45
njpatelthanks11:46

kvaloronoc: it started happening after gdbus port, but I have no idea what's causing it15:03
ronockvalo, I haven't to be honest, although my menu doesn't dynamically change half as much as yours, I will test now by killing the service and see what happens15:04
ronocseems fine15:05
kvaloronoc: I downgraded to an older indicator-network release, and it works as properly. so it's definitely something indicator-network triggering the bug. I just don't have an idea what15:09
kvalonjpatel: I rebooted to natty again so that I would file a bug about the menu issue. but now I see the menus!15:09
njpatelkvalo, oh, you'll only see them for a while :)15:10
njpatelkvalo, we've got a bug and narrowed it down to a compiz update, just need to figure out wtf is wrong now15:10

hyperairronoc: how do i run indicators in valgrind without needing to replace them with shell scripts?15:31
ronochyperair, you can use the indicator-loader for the package libindicator-tools15:34
hyperairronoc: what does that do?15:35
ronocit allows you to load a single indicator15:35
ronochyperair, you might need to load the service though as well,15:36
hyperairronoc: yeah i need to run indicator-messages-service in valgrind.15:36
ronochyperair, have you compiled your own service ?15:37
hyperairronoc: well i compiled my own deb and dpkg -i'd it15:39
apwnjpatel, i did the unity --reset and the two main bugs are still there.   the broken menus till after the first right click and the screen saver not blanking the unity bits of the screen at all ... so i suspect they are real15:49

njpatelapw, oh, yes, lot's of people :)15:56
apwi wonder how that did not show up in pre-upload testing !15:57
seb128the upload was a 3am one from didrocks to fix a breakage he did in the previous one and noticed before going to bed15:58
seb128the day before his holidays and moving to a new flat as well15:58

trammabout appindicators, anybody... is it that i cannot use custom icons from file even in a submenu?18:49
trammwell, the guide on Ubuntu page says abut indicator status icon: "The icons need to use icon names from themes, direct paths to icon files are not supported."18:53
trammbut as much as i try, the same seems to apply to the menu under status indicator icon and all the submenues as well...18:54

trammagain, couple of more words... i'm trying to add appindicator support to screenlets. everything's fine, but one thing.21:12
tramminstalled screenlets have to be displayed in the submenu of appindicator and it happens that individual screenlets have icons. these are not installed as stock icons.21:13
tramm is there a way to display these under appindicator submenus? if not, please confirm that.21:13
lamalextramm, I'm not really sure that you want to be using an app indicator in the first place21:30
trammlamalex, yes, actually i don't really want to... but the screenlets daemon has had an option to show tray menu for ages and there sure is some meaningful content to display in that menu... by now the list of installed screenlets that can be added to desktop.21:33
lamalexgood time to remove it21:34
trammlamalex, please, explain... where will the users start/stop the screenlets in this case?21:35
lamalexsome kind of enable/enable windowed app21:36
lamalexI mean that seems like the kind of thing you do every now and then, not like, every minutes where it'd need to be visable all the time21:36
lamalexscreenlets configuration screenlet21:37
lamalexgetting crazy21:37
trammlamalex, i don't see that running screenlets is much different from playing music or chatting on irc. there are of course screenlets that you just start on startup, but there are also screenlets for making notes, tweeting etc that you may start 10 times a day.21:38
trammand stop 10 times a day.21:38
trammlamalex, but i would most certainly prefer to add starting/stopping screenlets to desktop menu, but this is not possible and that's why tray has been used for this kind of things.21:40
trammi believe appindicators has to have some kind of policy for daemons like dropbox, screenlets etc. now even clipboard managers (glippy for example) have a separate appindicator, which is nonsense for my mind. indicator area gets polluted very easily, although the icons look and behave better than in the tray era.21:45
jamaltayeah nux from trunk seems to work22:01
jamaltai think i'll install it to /usr/local/ for now22:01
