ionMight i humbly ask why unity-2d and unity-3d aren’t the same thing with a layer of abstraction for the respective rendering methods? :-)13:53
ograsure, nobody will stop you from asking :)13:55
kklimondamost likely it would take more time to do that the right way (I remember people talking about making compiz do that, but it wasn't ready). This way they can make it ready for tests for 11.04, and what really counts is the result, not the code.13:55
Kaleoion: Compiz has a 2D backend in the works that only rely on XRender13:55
Kaleoion: but it's not ready yet13:56
Kaleoion: that would solve the window management aspect of things13:56

ograKaleo, i'm wondering about the autostart dir (and the file in it) in unity-2d-default-settings, i thought we dont even install that applet anymore14:11
ogrado we really need that file to hide it ?14:11
ionAre application menus simply not yet implemented in unity-2d, or am i encountering a bug?14:11
ionkaleo: Btw, i take it it has been noticed that the launcher buttons don’t respond to clicks in the far left corner of the screen?14:12
ogradidrocks, ^^^ i see NoDisplay=true and OnlyShowIn=XFCE; in /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-volume-control-applet.desktop, i suppose we dont specifically need an additional .desktop file to hide it in natty, right ?14:16
ogra(unity-2d-default-settings ships a .desktop file containing Hidden=true)14:17
Kaleoogra: I suppose not14:17
ogragreat, thats the only subdir in that package :)14:18
Kaleoion: "launcher buttons don’t respond to clicks in the far left corner of the screen" no, what do you mean?14:18
Kaleoion: application menus?14:18
didrocksogra: no, you don't14:19
ograperfect14:19
ionThe colorful square icons in the vertical bar can’t be clicked by moving the mouse to the left hand side of the screen. You have to move the mouse a few pixels to the right first.14:19
smspillaznjpatel: didrocks: the issue I have is that there isn't a way to differentiate between "I pressed super because I wanted the launcher" and "I pressed super because I wanted to do some other combo-keybinding and I just happened to press super first, wtf are you doing"14:20
smspillaznjpatel: the only way I can really think of avoiding this case is to disable the passive grab when the launcher is actually visible, but then you'll lose the ability to quick hide the launcher again by pressing super in rapid succession14:21
njpatelsmspillaz, tbh, I really don't care for natty :)14:21
smspillaznjpatel: yeah, I know there are more important things14:21
smspillaznjpatel: but I still think that it should be flagged that grabbing up an entire modifier tree is in gross violation of Ice Cubed :)14:22
njpatelsmspillaz, heh, file a bug but, yeah, we'll see that for natty +114:22
smspillaznjpatel: ok14:22
smspillaznjpatel: just an FYI then, see http://tronche.com/gui/x/icccm/sec-6.html#s-6.5, basically it's a case of X faffing about and not setting the standard that the super key *is* actually reserved for window management functions, so it says that we have to provide some way to allow buggy clients to recieve those events *sigh*14:25

Kaleoion: it's not reported yet, please report it :)14:26

Kaleoion: thanks14:26
ionThe $UBUNTU_MENUPROXY thing. Gtk windows don’t seem to have menus at all. Hovering over the top bar doesn’t seem to reveal them.14:27

ogradidrocks, so i renamed unity-2d.session to ubuntu-2d.session now, but i cant really rename the .desktop file for /usr/share/xsessions (since gnome-2d.desktop already exists) ... do you think just renaming .session is enough ?14:31
didrocksogra: no, it should be 2d-ubuntu.session to match upstream (GNOME-way) naming of session file14:32
ograoh, ok14:32
didrocksogra: no need to rename in /usr/share/xsessions/, just ensure you match the .session file name :)14:32
ogradidrocks, what about other files, anything else that needs renaming ?14:33
ograah, k14:33
didrocksno, just make the change and ensure the desktop file can be translated14:33

Kaleoogra: so, in the end what's the bzr branch for unity-2d-default-settings in natty?14:35
ograhmm, i suppose X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=gnome-session-2.0 should rather be X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=unity-2d14:36

ograKaleo, but i'll merge the files into the unity-2d-natty-release branch ... and to not conflict with trunl i think i'll put them into the debian dir if you dont object14:38
ograKaleo, consistency with NCommanders other branches14:38

APII have just applied the patch on upstream14:56
APIand notified the people on the list14:56
APIas I said, I'm not used to the internal packaging machineries14:57
APII think that TheMuso was working on that14:57
dbarth_hmm, so probalby not, since it has another part in an upstream; but i guess it will soon be integrated into ubuntu14:57
dbarth_ok, cool14:57
dbarth_anyway, the main bridge loader issue is fixed irregardless, so that's fine14:57
APIanyway, if the change is not applied14:57
APIand you are usint at-spi14:57
dbarth_(the hangs i was getting earlier at the beginning of january)14:57

seb128kamstrup, oh, GNOME, several weeks don't worry15:22
seb128it's likely that pitti will land all the work from the hacking done this week in natty next week or so15:22
kamstrupseb128: kewl,15:22
kamstrupwicked15:22
seb128or get kenvandine to backport things, he will probably want that if that unblock his gee hacking15:23
seb128dee15:23
kenvandine:)15:23
kenvandinekamstrup, i'll look at it15:24
kenvandinei am hacking on gobject-introspection right now actually :)15:25
kamstrupkenvandine: i am this close >< to having dee fully working with GI, now I just have problems because signals are marshalled with the old pygobject codepath and everything else is using GI15:27
kamstrupthis causes some type hickups15:27
kenvandine:)15:27
kamstrupother than that adding and modifying rows works like a charm15:27
kenvandinekamstrup, weird... this patch has a bunch of references to TpAccount15:27
kenvandinemust be some copy and paste from tomeo15:27
kamstrupkenvandine: it's just testing code15:27
kenvandineyeah, all in tests15:28
kamstrupkenvandine: but in case you didn't see yet, the patch is already in git master15:28
kenvandineyeah, i did15:28
kenvandinetrying to get it in the package... but bzr seems to be down again or something15:28
kamstrupkenvandine: do you know if dbusmenu works well with pygi?15:28
kenvandinedon't know15:29
kenvandinei suspect not :)15:29
kenvandinewe are going to have a lot of work todo making sure everything works with pygi :/15:29
kamstrupkenvandine: ok, it's because I am working towards are future where we can bind libunity, dee, and dbusmenu. That would give super-powers to script the unity shell15:29
kenvandinealthough maybe lots of what you have fixed will end up helping :)15:29
* kenvandine likes super powers15:29
kamstrupkenvandine: the deal breaker right now is whether we'll have the signal marshalling ported to pygi as well15:30
kenvandinethat seems like a must... how could that ever work without it?15:30
kamstrupkenvandine: I might have a look at that, tomeu thinks it can work similarly to how they do properties right now, so might not be that hard in fact15:30
kenvandinecool15:31
kamstrupkenvandine: i ownder that too :-)15:31
kamstrupwonder15:31
kenvandinekamstrup, just FYI, but i found out that valac can produce the GIR at compile time15:32
kenvandineso you don't need g-ir-scanner for vala libraries :)15:32
kamstrupkenvandine: yeah, i'm using that for libunity. it's awesome - but you still need to compile the typelib15:36
kenvandineyeah15:36
kenvandinewish i knew!15:36
kenvandineit was killing me... :)15:36
kenvandinebut now of course there is no useful way to generate docs15:36
kenvandinehopefully this gobject-introspection girdoc branch i am playing with really works15:37
nmarquesguys anyone has clue what can be triggering this behavior on clutk reported on lp: #695823 ?16:22
didrockstedg: hey, any idea why if I export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 ; killall nautilus && nautilus (and see that the nautilus currently running is the one from the command line, not one spawn by the session), I get no menu (sub) for a nautilus window, but still the full menus for the desktop?16:28
tedgdidrocks, Uhm, probably because my nautilus patch doesn't check for the env. variable? :)16:29
tedgdidrocks, I'm surprised it works though, I guess the .so still gets loaded?16:29
didrockstedg: you mean debian/patches/16_desktop_menu_export.patch, right? I even tried commenting it and build && install and I still get the menu there (but only for the desktop), can it be cached somewhere?16:30
tedgdidrocks, Well, it gets cached -- oh, perhaps it's not getting cleared.... do the menus work?16:31
didrockstedg: no they don't :)16:32
didrocksso make sense :) how to delete the cache?16:33

dbarthkenvandine: wow, the one for the docs?17:36
didrockstedg: ok, I'm completely puzzled with the desktop menu, even removing your patch still makes the desktop nautilus menu to be exported…17:36
tedgdidrocks, No, that's impossible.  You're confused :)17:36
dbarthdidrocks: appmenu-gtk is really powerful17:36
tedgdidrocks, Why are you playing with the desktop menu anyway?  Is there an issue?17:37

ubot5Launchpad bug 692194 in nautilus (Ubuntu Natty) "Desktop menu adjustments for Natty" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/69219417:38
didrockstedg: I wanted to give it a try to help you seeing the other patch and thinking it was just a question of hiding the right menuitems17:39
didrocksI'm sure there is a cache somewhere, in addition to unity-panel-service making me crazy17:41
tedgNo, I'm pretty sure that's the only cache.17:43
didrockslet's try logout/login17:45
didrockshum, still there…17:49
didrockstedg: hum, I still I'll let this as it is for now. Even removing your patch still exports the desktop menu after logout/login…17:52
didrocksso maybe appmenu-gtk is doing it now17:52
didrocksand hiding items aren't reflected anyway17:53
tedgMy patch is more powerful than your simple efforts to remove it.17:53
didrocksseems so :)17:53
lamalextedg, what projects have you worked on triaging?18:04
lamalex:) it stoppped snowing18:09
kenvandinelamalex, snowing... it is looking like spring here, gorgeous18:14
lamalexYeah.. it looks like Maine here :P18:15
didrockstedg: so, I removed you patch for exporting the desktop nautilus menu, add some debugging in the same function (it's actually called), logout and login in the ubuntu-classic session… and the desktop menu is exported18:24
didrockstedg: so, either the patch is not needed anymore and the menu is exported by another mean by appmenu-gtk and not by the direct call or the patch, or there is a ghost in my laptop18:24
tedglamalex, I did indicator-applicaiton, I was thinking of doing dbusmenu next.18:24
didrockstedg: I checked for the ghost, no sign of it :)18:24
tedgdidrocks, I'm voting ghost :)  The window doesn't get created the same way, so I'd be surprised that appmenu-gtk would pick it up.18:25
tedgdidrocks, If it does, that's great, but it seems odd.18:25
=== artix_ is now known as artix
didrockstedg: I can built the version in a ppa if you want to ensure yourself :) (well, you can as well comment the patch in debian/patches/series)18:25
tedgdidrocks, The menus are never really created.18:25
didrockstedg: what do you mean?18:26
tedgdidrocks, They're never attached to the desktop window -- which is what appmenu-gtk looks for.18:26
didrockstedg: hum, but a nautilus desktop window is a nautilus window first, isn't it? (that's what I see in the code) and so, it should be attached the same way?18:27
didrockstedg: like if I uncomment the gtk_widget_hide(NAUTILUS_WINDOW(window)->details->menubar), I can see them (and hidden automatically if appmenugtk is loaded)18:27
lamalextedg, im doing dbusmenu now18:28
lamalexit has very few bugs :P18:28
tedglamalex, Damn it, I'll find something else then :)18:29
tedgdidrocks, Ah, hmm, cool.  That'd be cool if they weren't needed.... I swear it didn't work before I wrote the patch :)18:30
didrockstedg: maybe nautilus changed a little bit. Now I need to figure out why hiding /MenuBar/File get me a gtk_widget, but this one doesn't want to hide18:30
didrockstedg: I guess you are respecting the hidden value in appmenu, isn't it? (IIRC, that's how I did in gtkrecordmydesktop)18:31
tedgdidrocks, yeah, we should be.18:32
didrockstedg: ok, I'll give it another try next week and see what can be done. Otherwise, I'll surely ask you for help :)18:35
