GanymedeHello, I was thinking of installing Ubuntu 10.04 for some of our researchers as computer nodes. I want to install server so they will be supported for 5 years and they won't have to be touched after I leave. However, sometimes the researchers might want a desktop with vnc4server so I would have to install ubuntu-desktop. Will installing ubuntu-desktop on an Ubuntu server transform it into Ubuntu Desktop so that it would only have 3 years03:55
Ganymede of support?03:55

rodrigo_pitti, I've just submitted g-c-c 2.91.4 to the gnome3 ppa, and this now works, as opposed to what we talked yesterday10:12
seb128mvo, hey10:12
rodrigo_pitti, seems it just needed a rebuild10:13
rodrigo_kklimonda, broke it? how?10:13
kklimondarodrigo_: meh, I was home at 5am ;)10:13

kklimondarodrigo_: I've managed to create two separate accounts with the single email address - one for the store, another for aws10:14
mvohey seb12810:14
seb128mvo, sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday but update-notifier doesn't work10:14

pittirodrigo_: ah, nice10:14
seb128mvo, I see you rewrote everything I did, thanks for mentioning me in the changelog anyway :p10:15
mvoseb128: oh - thats bad - what specifically?10:15
seb128mvo, it does10:15
seb128** (update-notifier:4084): DEBUG: crashreport_check10:15
seb128but report no crash10:15
seb128where I've some in /var/crash10:15
seb128it doesn't react if I touch one as well10:15
mvoseb128: oh, odd. worked for me, let me try again.10:15
mvoseb128: and I did not quite change every line, just a few (not because of your code but because of my old crufty code that was there before)10:16
huatsmorning10:16
seb128mvo, well you did things I pondered doing, like adding a debug-misc rather than dropping those g_print ;-)10:17
seb128mvo, you are less lazy than me :p10:17
seb128hey huats10:17
huatshello seb12810:17
mvoseb128: lol10:17
seb128mvo, you replaced the g_spaw call by the one that let you send stdout to null as well which I was not sure was a win because of all the NULL arguments to set ;-)10:18
mvoseb128: yeah, the stdlog stuff is a bit dubious, it gives a pointer to a file descriptior that then needs reading, I was not sure if there are no leaks (fd leaks) if that does not get closed properly so I thought it would be better to use the _close_stdout flag of gspawn10:19
mvoand yes, NULL 10x times10:20

seb128ubot2, shut up you ;-)10:21
ubot2Factoid 'shut up you ;-)' not found10:21
seb128mvo, why the "!system_crashes"?10:22
mvoseb128: well, if we omit that the use may get greeted with a gksu window, but I guess what we actually should do is to modify run_apport so that it spawns a dialog if it needs gksu or tweak apport to ask politely about that10:23
seb128mvo, the patch the way I wrote it make the user crashes only to be reported10:23
mvoseb128: i.e. the user logs in, u-n runs 60s later and suddenly there is a gksu window out of the blue10:23
seb128mvo, well I added a similar "gtk_status_icon_is_embedded (ta->tray_icon)" in run_apport10:24
seb128in my version10:24
=== Bertrand is now known as bl8
seb128which leaded to have the user crashes reported10:24
seb128but the system ones ignored10:24
seb128your variant makes everything ignored when there is a system crash10:24
seb128which was what we had before already10:24
mvoseb128: did that work? I don't think the code is clever enough, once there is one system crash it will still not launch it10:25
seb128mvo, it did work, run_apport has a if, else10:25
seb128   if (check_system_crashes()) {10:25
seb128run with sudo10:25
seb128else10:25
seb128run10:25
seb128 10:25
seb128mvo, I did add a "if gtk_status_icon_is_embedded (ta->tray_icon)" in the first case10:26
seb128like10:26
seb128let me find my merge proposal, my local diff got overwriten when I pulled your update10:27
mvobut check_system_crashes() will return TRUE if there is any system crash10:27
seb128and?10:27
seb128that just makes apport_run() to be called10:27
seb128then you can check if there is a systray and no-op the call10:27
mvoaha, I see now, indeed, my mistake10:27
seb128to avoid spawning gksu10:28
mvoI make up for this by adding a dialog "system crashes detected, do you want to report them", ok?10:28
seb128https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~seb128/update-notifier/unity-bug-reports/+merge/4404910:28
mvothis way we get the best of both worlds, no gksu-in-your-face and still the ability to report it10:28
seb128see the second snippet10:28
seb128mvo, works for me, I was just lazy to do that ;-)10:29
mvoseb128: fair enough , I broke it, I fix it10:29
seb128mvo, that and you told me you wanted to redesign maybe update-notifier10:30
seb128still not sure if it should be ported to an appindicator10:30
seb128or the event handling should be splitted out or something10:30
mvoseb128: i want to get rid of it entirely and replace it by upstart-session scripts10:31
seb128well for now I guess the dialog will remove the need to figure what to do with the redesign10:31
mvoseb128: but I see that we need something in the meantime unitl we get that support10:31
seb128so yeah your dialog will fit the need until we get there10:32
mvook, sounds good, I add that then10:32
seb128mvo, do you know how likely we will ever get upstart session scripts?10:32
seb128did you talk to keybuk about it?10:32
mvoyes, he knows about it and I send him examples what is needed10:32
seb128I know that was on the roadmap and upstart seem to get work again but not sure how much10:33
mvolike events on file changes etc10:33
seb128it's just that things were stalled for a while10:33
mvoi know, I hope its getting better, no definite target dates though10:35
rodrigo_anyone has any idea where to look for my openssh key problem (askpass password never shows up)10:52
seb128rodrigo_, downgrade to gnome-keyring from natty?10:55
rodrigo_hmm, yes, trying that10:56
seb128rodrigo_, btw could you try to backport the g-c-c 3 preferred application code to natty?10:59
seb128we will need that if we don't update to GNOME310:59
seb128since glib changed the way the handlers work10:59
mvoseb128: hm, there is a problem, gtk_status_icon_is_embedded seems to return false if the icon is not visible, so it returns false on the gtk panel as well11:11
seb128hum11:12
seb128mvo, why is the icon not visible?11:12
rodrigo_Tx4l4p4rt411:14
seb128mvo, well my patch was doing the check after "gtk_status_icon_set_visible(ta->tray_icon, TRUE);" for that reason11:14
seb128rodrigo_, time to change your password it seems ;-)11:15
rodrigo_Tx4l4p4rt411:15
seb128mvo, but you moved that to before the if for some reason11:15
mvoseb128: aha, it seems like the problem is that the initial crashreport_check thing needs to run in a timeout_add11:15
seb128mvo, https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~seb128/update-notifier/unity-bug-reports/+merge/4404911:15
seb128mvo, well, my patch worked in both GNOME and unity sessions...11:16
seb128I tested it ;-)11:16
mvoseb128: odd, let me look further11:18
seb128mvo, well what you said is right11:18
seb128it's just that you moved the check before the icon is set to visible11:18
seb128if you put it back where it was in my merge request that should work11:19
rodrigo_seb128, ugh11:21
seb128rodrigo_, time to change your password it seems ;-)11:21
rodrigo_yes, already changed11:22
seb128rodrigo_, did you noticed you typed Tx4l4p4rt4 there twice?11:22
seb128ok11:22
mvoseb128: no luck here, at least on the initial start11:22
rodrigo_I shouldn't blindly type it11:22
mvoseb128: maybe some sort of race11:22
seb128mvo, weird11:22
rodrigo_the power manager or screensaver from gnome3 just dims the screen to black and never undims it, so was trying to guess where to type the password, and I got it wrong11:23
mvoseb128: yep, the good old while (gtk_events_pending()) gtk_main_iteration(); fixes it11:23
seb128hum, k11:23
seb128way to add hacks to hacks11:24
seb128mvo, but do you still need a notification area if you do the dialog thing?11:25
mvoseb128: hacks> yeah, makes me a bit unhappy - but now you see why I want to get rid of it :)11:25
seb128hehe11:26
seb128mvo, let me know if you need testing11:27
seb128since I'm done with email catching up it should not take half a day today11:28
mvothat is actually a good point, let me make it just honor the autolaunch gconf key instead11:28
rodrigo_ok, hopefully last restart, brb11:29
mvoseb128: could you please give r611 a go? it will just autolaunch now (if the gconf key is set). see debian/changelog. avoids hack-after-hack and is consistent with the u-m autolaunch behavior11:38
mvoseb128: I go for lunch now11:38
mvoseb128: thanks for your patience with this, I think the result is much better now after this discussion and the code iterations :)11:39

rodrigo_seb128, hmm, no, on the mailing list?15:19
seb128rodrigo_, no, on IRC earlier (or was it yesterday?)15:20
seb128rodrigo_, I was wondering if it would be easy to backport the gcc3 code to 2.32?15:20
seb128rodrigo_, since we updated glib and the handler system changed15:21
seb128we will need to backport the new code if we don't go for GNOME315:21
rodrigo_well, porting the panels should be easy, without the shell even15:21
rodrigo_there are already some GTK3isms in the code, so we'll need to see case by case15:21
rodrigo_but I don't think it should be a lot of work15:21
rodrigo_the preferred capplets also now uses gsettings15:22
rodrigo_is that a problem?15:22
seb128not sure15:22
seb128let's keep that on the side until we sort what we decide to do with GNOME315:23
rodrigo_also, it uses the GAppInfo stuff for browsers and mail readers15:23
rodrigo_so we'll need to make sure the browsers and mailers we ship support that15:23
seb128rodrigo_, well that's what we need anyway15:23
rodrigo_ah ok15:24
seb128since gvfs is using that15:24

pittiis that the year of the Linux desktop, or the next one? :-)16:35
rodrigo_wasn't it 2010? :)16:35
jasoncwarnerOk...jumping right in ...[TOPIC] Unity16:35
tkamppeterhi16:35
didrockswell, I haven't done the last release maybe seb128?16:35
seb128didrocks, ?16:36
didrocksI saw drag and drop on the launcher landed as a christmas gift :)16:36
bcurtiswx_seb128, OK thx16:36
seb128oh right it did16:36
didrocksI didn't follow the rest of previous release, being on vacation. seb128 did it. Most of the team was on holidays the past two weeks as well and we will see on next Thursday release some little b16:38
didrocksbug fixes16:38
jasoncwarnerwell, seb128 and didrocks anything else? I know it has been some time :)16:38
seb128sorry I'm out of context16:38
didrocksalso probably a new compiz snapshot coming this week16:38
seb128was that the unity summary?16:38
seb128I just read all the congrats from the new year but didn't notice any topic ;-)16:39
kenvandineseb128, yes16:39
=== njpatel is now known as njpatel|away
seb128ups16:39
seb128sorry16:39
seb128so new release got the dnd on the launcher back16:39
seb128the places support didn't get in it16:39
seb128we still have some race issues and stacking bugs affecting menus16:40
seb128well we did trade off the menu stacking issue against a crash on start in the unity session16:40
jasoncwarner:)16:40
seb128crashes which doesn't- happen in the classic session with unity enable...16:40
seb128yeah for races16:40
kenvandine:)16:40
seb128the new version got improved support for wm decorations and titles in the bar16:41
seb128there was some visual improvements as well I think16:41
seb128that's about it16:41
seb128then everybody was off for the end of year and the uk were still off yesterday16:41
jasoncwarnerany indication if we should expect stacking bug this week? and how about places landing...during Rally?16:42
didrocksjasoncwarner: seems we won't have it fixed this week16:42
didrocksplaces landing are due to alpha2, so probably after Rally we will have something16:42
seb128it's likely most of the work will wait next week16:42
seb128this week will probably be mostly catchup after break, especially for people who were still on holidays yesterday16:42
seb128we will probably not try to land an update just before everybody is travelling16:43
kenvandineseb128, that is always so much fun though16:43
jasoncwarner:)16:43
didrockswell, Thursday's release at least, as everytime :)16:43
didrocksif not too late16:43
seb128well, it's up to didrocks and dx really, but I would think most work will happen next week16:43

jasoncwarnersounds good...16:43

lamalexit's driving me nu19:33
lamalexs19:33
lamalexts19:33
seb128lamalex, edit /usr/share/applications/defaults.list19:35

lamalexclicked a link19:41
lamalexand it opened in firefox19:41
lamalexand I checked .local/share which has 1 entry for chrome as text/html19:42
seb128lamalex, you should have replaced firefox by your browser19:44
seb128if you don't set a default it will pick randomly one19:44
lamalexseb128, sorry, I did that19:44
lamalexi forgot to say that they were already like =firefox.desktop;google-chrome.desktop19:44
lamalexso I just removed firefox19:44

jasoncwarnermorning, bryceh22:00
jasoncwarnerbryceh: I think you are right22:00
brycehheh, for a change ;-)22:00
TheMusoInternal server error...22:01
jasoncwarnerzing!22:01
TheMusohrm worked second ime.22:01
TheMusotime22:01
jasoncwarnerTheMuso: refresh...the magic button!22:01
jasoncwarneralright...we'll see if robert_ancell is around in a bit, but lets get started22:01
jasoncwarnerfirst off, Happy New year!22:02
jasoncwarnerI hope everyone had a great break and new year.22:02
jasoncwarnerand I hope everyone is well rested for the rally!!!22:02
jasoncwarner:)22:02
jasoncwarnerok...jumping straight in...22:02
jasoncwarnerplease be sure to update the wiki with your notes22:03
jasoncwarnerand [TOPIC] X.org22:03
brycehok22:03
jasoncwarnerbryceh: take it away?22:03
brycehwe're at a decision point on xserver 1.9 vs. 1.10.  RAOF and I just need to touch base and make sure we're in consensus22:04
brycehthere were some last minute bits and pieces that slipped in for 1.10, we need to make sure it's nothign too scary22:04
brycehwith that decided, probably next monday I guess, we'll start the mega merge of new X bits and pieces22:04
jasoncwarnerjust in time for the rally..perfect ;) you guys sure do know how to plan it!22:05
brycehhttp://www.bryceharrington.org/X/Reports/ubuntu-x-swat/versions-current.html22:05
brycehnot a lot of stuff needing merged right at the moment but I think X.org will start pumping out driver releases and stuff in the coming month or two22:05
brycehX.org bugs - we're in surprisingly good shape22:06
brycehhttp://www.bryceharrington.org/X/Reports/ubuntu-x-swat/totals-natty-workqueue.svg22:06
brycehthat shows there are only 3 known bugs reported against natty that we need to do something about22:06
brycehone of which is just "merge new ati driver"22:06
brycehreally nice that we're staying atop the bugs this time through.  We'll see how long that lasts22:07
brycehthe most commonly reported issue is perhaps worth a bit of discussion22:07
brycehit's not really an X bug, but people think it is22:07
brycehwhen you make a USB LiveCD (for testing), you can create a persistent thingee, to store docs and stuff22:07
brycehpeople think that this means they can also install updated drivers, such as -nvidia and -fglrx22:08
brycehhowever, those types of drivers require changes to files outside the persistent storage area, which apparently are writable but don't persist across boot22:08
brycehso installing -nvida or -fglrx on a USB Live environment is *not* supported22:08
jasoncwarneris that a widespread expectation?22:09
brycehwe've gotten more bug reports filed about that than all other natty X.org bug reports combined, I'd estimate22:09
jasoncwarnerseems education might be the safest route on that one for now unless it is rather trivial to conjure up a solution to that22:09
brycehmy thinking is perhaps we could have Jockey detect if it's running in a LiveCD environment and not offer to install drivers22:09
brycehI think that would prevent the issue for 99% of the time22:10
jasoncwarnerwell, then they wouldn't get to test Unity or something ...right? maybe just a warning dialog that says 'this will not persist past this session...'22:10
jasoncwarner?22:10
Sarvattthose drivers require a reboot to work22:10
brycehwell, for -nvidia and -fglrx you *have* to reboot for the drivers to get loaded22:10
* kenvandine is just excited to be able to run unity in virtualbox :)22:11
brycehok, enough on that topic22:11
jasoncwarneryeah22:11
jasoncwarnerkenvandine: indeed!22:11
brycehlast bit, I've been working on major improvements to the apport hook for xorg22:11
brycehand am working with the compiz/dx team to share efforts with them, which I hope will help in diagnosing unity/compiz driver-ish bugs22:12
jasoncwarneroh, nice22:12
brycehjasoncwarner, ok I think that's everything for X.22:12
jasoncwarnerGreat, thanks bryceh22:12
jasoncwarnerok...22:12
jasoncwarner[TOPIC] AOB?22:12
jasoncwarneralright then!22:13
jasoncwarneragain, don't forget to update https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Meeting/2011-01-04 with your notes for the week.22:14
jasoncwarnerand, robert_ancell, happy new year!22:14
TheMusoI'll ask on the platform list, but is there anybody here who gets into Dallas around 15:10 or so on Sunday afternoon?22:14
jasoncwarnerTheMuso: let me check my itin22:14
* TheMuso arrives into Dallas then and would like to hook up for transport to the hotel.22:14
jasoncwarner[END MEETING]22:16
