apwcan anyone tell me how to get rid of AM/PM on the new indicatory clocky thing?10:14
apwand indeed how to get the date back in the clocky thing10:15
mptapw, implement <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeAndDate?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=settings-clock.jpg> :-)10:42
apwmpt, joy10:56
seb128or http://askubuntu.com/questions/17226/how-do-i-show-the-date-in-the-clock-indicator10:57
seb128that's at least for the date10:58
seb128not sure you can change the format, that comes from the locale10:58
apwdo we already know that on random logins the theme is incorrectly set, showin nice coloured icons instead of our black and white ones ?11:45
seb128apw, it's likely gnome-settings-daemon failing to start11:55
seb128there is some bug about it11:56
seb128would be interesting to know if you have anything in .xsession-errors about g-s-d11:56
seb128or a crash11:56
apwseb128, no crash reported by apport11:56
apwseb128, and it was running still when i logged out11:57
apwseb128, scratch that, wrong machine.... no crash reported though, lost the error log on the affected box, will look next time11:59
apwdo we know about the NM applet 'connecting' animation being missing?12:01

jcastrowb njpatel!14:44
jcastrocando_: jamalta: fagan: vish: I'm doing a unity report today on the bitesizes, if you've claimed a bug and have no progress and want to throw it back in the pool today would be the day to do that.15:12
jcastroalso, if you did anything cool in the meantime let me know15:12
cando_jcastro, i've a bug half-finished...but sincerely i've not time to do it...(univ exams..).. :(15:14
cando_my branch is linked to the bug...15:14
jcastrono worries15:14
jcastrowant me to ask if someone wants to finish it?15:14
lamalexAPI, how is it coming?15:14
APIlamalex, fine, although I spent most of yesterday revamping my development environment15:15
cando_jcastro, i would like to finish it but i understand that i can't take this bug for me forever..15:15
cando_so yes...15:15
APII still used the "long path" to compile unity15:15
APIanyway15:15
jcastroit's ok, it's not like people are stomping on you trying to take it. :)15:15
APII have the code to load the bridge15:15
APIdone15:15
APInow I need to test it (a freeze last time I tested it)15:16
cando_jcastro, meanwhile should i assign that bug back to nobody?15:16
jcastrocando_: nah, let's just roll with it, we have plenty in the meantime15:17
cando_jcastro, :)...ok thanks jorge15:17
jcastroyou're the one doing us the favor, I don't want to come across as whiny. :)15:18
ronocnjpatel, hey, developing indicators in unity, trying to kill me indicator-applet so that i can run my own15:18
cando_;)15:18
ronoccan't right click on the applet15:18
ronockillall indicator-applet ?15:18
jcastrocando_: You don't take as long as DBO does, for example.15:19
seb128ronoc, you can right click on the handle on the left15:20
cando_ahahah, ok...^^15:20
ronocseb128, can't see this handle, left of the panel ?15:21
njpatelronoc, killall unity-panel-service15:21
ronoccool15:21
njpatelyou might need to then run it, but it should autostart again15:22
seb128ronoc, oh, you are using unity15:22
seb128ronoc, I though that was under GNOME15:22
njpatelronoc, that'll re-load all the indicators15:22
didrocksjust be quicker than the autostart :)15:22
ronocyep moved this morning15:22
ronocnjpatel, anyway i can stop it from running again, I want to run up my service and indicator15:23
njpatelronoc, mm, I didn't right the autostart code, there might not be a easy way to disable that yet :/15:24
cando_jcastro, forget me..i want to finish this bug..i can stop my study for an hour..eheheh..but i need some mentoring: can you point me to somebody willing to help?15:25
seb128njpatel, ronoc: I don't think there is one no15:25
jcastrocando_: DBO probably, but really, you should study15:26
ronocseb128, right must continue developing on classic desktop then15:26
cando_jcastro, no problem.. :)15:26
cando_DBO, have you got some time for a quick mentoring?15:26
DBOcando_, yes15:27
cando_DBO, https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/68840715:27
cando_i've already written the quick list..i've to write the callback for the Empty trash15:28
DBOcando_, I think the idea is to use gio here15:29
DBOlooking at it15:29
cando_i've looked to unity-private, but obviuosly it's in vala...i've looked to nautilus code and it's pretty difficult..my question is: is there a simple way?or should i use (like in nautilus) gio_schedule?15:29
DBOcando_, probably should do it how nautilus does15:32
DBOdo you have the code snippet handy?15:32
cando_if the latter...it's a pretty big thing, right? (i've never used gio_schedule and simils)..i've to create the jobs and so on..15:32
cando_yep..just a moment15:32
cando_DBO, http://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/tree/libnautilus-private/nautilus-file-operations.c15:33
cando_from row 611815:33
DBOcando_, okay what this does in all its complexity is delete everything contained in the trash: file15:35
cando_DBO, yes...but do we need that complexity? the jobs and the schedules?15:35
DBOno15:36
DBOyou could do this all inline15:36
didrocksnjpatel: I'm adding a global variable for disabling the autostart15:36
cando_DBO, really? sorry but...it won't be a problem if a i have a very full bin?15:37
DBOcando_, you should still do it async15:37
DBObut you shouldn't need a job for that15:37
cando_DBO, ok..i'll try...thanks!15:38
njpateldidrocks, awesome!15:38
lamalexDBO, didn't you write trash emptying for docky via gio?15:41
DBOlamalex, yeah but I dont honestly care that it did not account for things like nfs15:42
lamalexdidrocks, how does your super key merge affect super + e and the other compiz bindings?15:44
jcastrois holding down super going to still do the number overlays like in 10.10?15:46
seb128jcastro, it should15:47
lamalexDBO, cando_ nautilus added a dbus api for file ops, is empty trash one of them?15:50
DBOcounting on nautilus to be present is not a good idea15:51
cando_really?didn't know...15:51
lamalexerm, maybe it hasn't been added yet anyway15:51
seb128lamalex, it's in GNOME3 which is not in natty15:54
seb128well the dbus interfaces15:54
seb128not sure the trash empty action has one15:54
gsHello everyone! mostly technical discussion here? anyway I wrote a blog post on Unity and interface design you might be interested in, would love to get some feedback: http://georgesullivan.wordpress.com/2011/01/02/unity-a-missed-oportunity/16:01

didrocksI need some testing on different hw…17:01
didrockscan people try to run: /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test; echo $?17:01
didrocksand give the result (should be 0 or 1) here?17:01
lamalexdidrocks, sure17:03
dbarthit returns 0 for me didrocks17:04
lamalexdidrocks, does nux need to be from trunk or is the packaged version ok17:04
dbarthand i'm running unity right now17:04
didrockslamalex: packaged version is ok17:04
didrocksdbarth: thanks :)17:04
lamalexdidrocks, I also get a 0 return code17:05
didrocksjust that we had a segfaulty version on some card some weeks ago and I want to ensure that some random hw config is working now :)17:05
didrockslamalex: thanks!17:05
lamalexI'm on a macbook pro, nvidia graphics17:05
didrocksI think dbarth is on ATI17:05
didrocksseb gave me for intel17:06
cyphermoxkvalo, ping?17:06
didrocksbut if other wants to play the game, they're welcome :)17:06
didrockscyphermox: !!! I'm sure you want to try /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test; echo $? and give the result here! :)17:06
cyphermoxsure17:07
cyphermoxit's 017:07
didrocks\o/ thanks cyphermox17:08
didrocksjcastro was the one having the segfault IIRC17:08
OmegaWhat do I need to install to be able to run that?17:08
cyphermoxdidrocks, I'm on a system with an i3 though, so Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 12) for the graphics card... not much in terms of difference17:08
didrocksOmega: if you have unity, you should have it17:09
didrocksOmega: nux-tools is the package containing it17:09
didrockscyphermox: well, it's mostly testing we don't have a segfault at least :)17:09
jcastrodidrocks: I get 0 on nvidia17:10
cyphermoxfair enough.. no segfault, unless I happily go hacking in unity ;)17:10
didrockshehe :)17:10
didrocksthanks jcastro!17:10
cyphermoxbtw, I re-added the wifi strength icons in nm-applet: http://twitpic.com/3n0a95. That's just  on my system for now, but the animations are back in, the padlock for VPN over whatever connection is on, and this.17:11
cyphermoxwhat's the process for shipping a few more icons with the ubuntu-mono-* themes? is there anything special?17:11
jcastrocyphermox: cool, I'll add that to my unity report!17:12
cyphermoxjcastro, I need to ship icons for it to work though17:13
didrockscyphermox: awesome \o/17:13
jcastroright, disclaimer, etc.17:13
cyphermoxI quickly made the ones I needed in inkscape locally, since it's just inserting the padlock on the existing ones to create new files.17:13
cyphermoxbut I guess that's not quite kosher ;)17:13
didrocksOmega: did you have a change to test it?17:16
seb128cyphermox, try talking to sladen about those17:18
cyphermoxseb128, thanks17:18
* sladen looks at cyphermox 17:19
cyphermoxsladen, I'd like to ship more icons with the ubuntu-mono-* themes, basically, new icons for the gsm and wifi signal strength drawings but with the nm-vpn padlock included, and one of the same for wired17:20
cyphermoxthat way nm-applet doesn't need to composite icons to add the padlock, which it can't do in the context of indicators anyway17:21
jcastrodidrocks: typical thursday/friday unity upload this week?17:23
jcastrodidrocks: also, anything of significance you'd like to see mentioned?17:23
sladencyphermox: would it be possible to dynamically composite/combine them at package build-time17:23
didrocksjcastro: let's try/hope we can go on Thursday. As I'll be on a plane on Friday, I prefer to avoid last minute issues :)17:24
cyphermoxsladen, well, I guess it would be, but wouldn't that be done in the theme's package and not by nm-applet?17:24
didrocksjcastro: in trunk? not yet landed? well, there is improved drag and drop from the panel (as if it was a real title), some little new options to control the panel17:25
sladencyphermox: the plan is long-term to get more stuff (such as uniform adding of shadows) done with code, to make the most efficient use of artist/human time17:25
didrocksand the launcher17:25
didrocksjcastro: but nothing really important this week, bug fixes and such17:25
jcastroyep, got a list of those17:25
jcastrothis will be a nice rollup report17:25
cyphermoxsladen, fair enough. anyway all I need is already available, just need to layer the two images17:25
cyphermoxI just have no idea how to do this on the command line yet17:26
didrocksgreat :)17:26
sladencyphermox: yeah, as long as nm-applet is pulling in uniquely-named icons it the way in which they are produced (human, package build stage, dynamically, application) can be tweaked, but their the names are suitably abstracted that's probably not easily done17:26
sladencyphermox: man convert  should do it, but if they are vectors, it would be good to keep them as vectors17:27
cyphermoxsladen, right17:27
cyphermoxsladen, for now, I was creating images with the same name, -sec appended to the end, and coded nm to look for images with that name17:27
sladencyphermox: what's 'sec' ?17:28
sladencyphermox: but I think you're on the right path!17:28
cyphermoxsladen, was short for "secure" or whatever. just to note there is a padlock ;)17:28
sladencyphermox: okay, my preference would be to spell it out as '-secure' so that it's obvious even for idiots like me17:29
cyphermoxno problem17:29
sladencyphermox: if you have a script that codifies what you want to do, I can look over it/help/assist17:29
cyphermoxsladen, sure, I'll do a quick search to find a way to script this and write up something17:30
cyphermoxany idea if this is done elsewhere already?17:30
sladencyphermox: if there's a Makefile somewhere you should be able to do    out-secure.image: in-nonsecure-1.image in-padlock.image  \n   convert ... $< $@17:33
sladencyphermox: or probably even just   %-secure.image: %.image padlock.image17:34
cyphermoxheh, I was expecting convert to break vectors17:34
kvalocyphermox: pong17:36
Omegadidrocks: Sadly, no ):17:40
didrocksOmega: no worry :)17:41
OmegaI need to find a usb stick.17:41
sladencyphermox: convert does indeed produce ugly bitmapness.  inkscape commandline doesn't quite work.  One pointer I've found is to however https://launchpad.net/memaker does it17:45
sladencyphermox: and another is a trival XML joiner17:46
candojcastro, don't know if you have already written your bitesize report...but i'm fixing my bug..18:16
jcastrocando: I've got it queued up, but I can add an addenum like tomorrow, that would be brilliant!18:17
jcastrothat way I can get a pic of it, etc.18:17
cando:) fine18:17
jcastrook now set it for review and go back to studying. :)18:18
jcastroI don't want to be responsible if you mess up an exam, heh18:18
candoi've still to add the confirmation dialog..18:18
candoahahah ok!18:18
candoafter that i'll study..:)18:18
Omegajono: try /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test; echo $? and give the result here! :>18:34
jonoOmega, not on my compiz unity box right now18:35
OmegaAh, same problem here ):18:35
achianghello, if i think there's a papercut bug in a package (gnome-system-tools package -> time-admin binary package), what is the proper way to mark it so that someone can decide if it's actually a papercut or not?18:51
achiangis it simple as just filing the bug and then tagging it with papercut?18:54
achiangor possibly bitesize?18:54
senseachiang: File a bug in the 'hundredpapercuts' project at Launchpad and someone will process it.19:20
achiangsense: ah, thank you.19:21
senseyw19:21
candoDBO, sorry  a small question...why g_file_delete deletes also not empty folders? the docs says the opposite:If the file is a directory, it will only be deleted if it is empty.20:04
DBOcando, its a bit of a safety measure really20:05
DBOits kind of related to the reason we dont allow hardlinking of directories20:05
candoso in the patch i don't have to do a recursive deletion?20:06
DBOyou do20:07
DBOyou must recursively delete20:07

tedglamalex, No, we want everything to be declaritive.  But, the goal is to support more complex layouts.20:25
