robert_ancellchrisccoulson, awake?05:39
micahgrobert_ancell: can I help with something?06:01
robert_ancellmicahg, hey, was trying to get the-board to compile - since libmozjs.so is not in the standard path it has trouble with linking.  I was wondering if there was a trick to make it work right06:39
micahgrobert_ancell: ah, take a look at couchdb, I haven't actually gotten to that point yet, do you need gjs for it?  I can upload to the gnoem3 PPA06:40
robert_ancellmicahg, I got the latest gjs uploaded to the GNOME3 PPA, seems to work ok06:41
micahgah, ok06:41
robert_ancellhmm, or it might be debhelper complaining: "dh_girepository: Package name the-board doesn't match gir format 1.206:41

pittihey dpm, had a nice weekend?08:17
dpmheya pitti, yeah, very good, thanks. We went to the theatre, something we hadn't done yet since we moved to Valencia, and it was quite cool. Did you have a nice one?08:19
pittiyes, we did a nice long walk on Saturday, and yesterday my wife moved back to Dresden08:19

dpmhi mvo good morning too! We talked about it at UDS, but how has the review feature been implemented wrt to languages? I can see the number of reviews, but I cannot read them. I guess it's because they've been written in a language different than the one I've specified in my locale settings?08:22
mvo::1!08:22
mvodpm: yeah, that is most likely. the UI in this regard is a bit confusing currently unfortuantely08:23
mvodpm: once the updated server gets deployed (this week) I can add a control element to show reviews in any language08:23
dpmmvo, ok, cool :)08:24
mvoI will do a bit more testing today with german, just to ensure there are no bugs hidding08:25

smspillazRAOF: the driver should never send you uninitialized values in XDamageNotify events right?10:25
smspillazbecause if it is, then I need to file *yet another* bug against the nvidia driver10:25
RAOFI don't see any particular reason why a driver should send uninitialised values in the damage notify, but I'm not sure if that's actually wrong.10:27
smspillazRAOF: valgrind complains though10:27
smspillaza lot10:27
smspillazand it makes debugging a pain if whenever I resize a window I get 600 valgrind errors10:27
smspillazRAOF: actually, would you mind double checking this for me?10:28
smspillazRAOF: turn on "normal resize" ccsm -> resize -> mode -> normal10:29
smspillazand then run compiz through valgrind10:29

seb128try checking with ted or maybe mterry when they come online later on11:24
seb128lool, or try to valgrind it11:28

pittiit's got some GI annotation fixes which I'd like to see in natty11:28
pittiseb128: cool, doing that then11:28
seb128didrocks, yes, that's the 0.12 serie11:29
seb128didrocks, it wouldn't make sense to rename 0.11 to 0.12 for everything when it turns stable11:29

loolBTW is anyone here going to FOSDEM?11:31
pittiseb128: ok, thanks for pointing out; I'll drop it and check that it still works11:31
pittiseb128: curious that the patch didn't conflict then11:31
seb128pitti, I've checked the commit diff it seems alright11:31
seb128pitti, they didn't solve it the same way11:31
seb128ours was a hack11:32
seb128lool, didrocks is going11:32
seb128lool, do you?11:32
loolseb128: I can easily trigger the indicator-applet bug, but valgrind wasn't helpful (I did find how to run it under valgrind though)11:32
loolseb128: I get it regularly, every < 30s11:32
loolunless i kill gnome-power-manager11:32
seb128lool, you are uptodate I guess? when did that start?11:32
loolI think my system generates PM event in a way which makes this issue visible11:32
loolseb128: It started after restatring my system a couple of days ago11:33

loolseb128: I rebooted yesterday with a fully up-to-date system11:36

Amaranthari-tczew: I imagine it's more "these would be nice to get patches for"13:50
ari-tczewAmaranth: don't kidding, upstream won't prepare special patches for Canonical ideas13:55
AmaranthWho said it would be upstream doing it?13:57
AmaranthThey've identified applications they think should be using the messaging menu and patched the ones that are installed by default. If anyone else is using, say, xchat-gnome, and wants it to work with this they can write a patch13:57
seb128why wouldn't upstream do work to get their code works better on ubuntu?13:58
seb128which has been done in the xchat and -gnome cases13:58
Amaranthxchat-gnome has an upstream?13:59
AmaranthI thought it was just kept around because we all use it :)13:59
seb128not really but kenvandine wrote xchat-gnome-indicator13:59
chrisccoulsonand is also happening in the mozilla case (for thunderbird)14:00
Amaranthyeah, that thing was almost as broken as evolution's handling of the messaging menu :/14:00
kenvandinexchat-gnome has an upstream, they merged all my patches last year14:01
kenvandinejust not good about releases14:01
AmaranthWell, I suppose the messaging menu and notifications worked correctly with thunderbird, it just showed its own notifications as well and wouldn't activate from the messaging menu14:02
Amaranthevolution on the other hand doesn't update the messaging menu when my second mail account gets mail14:02
AmaranthI should see if there is a bug report about that14:02
chrisccoulsonAmaranth, you mean, with the third party extension for thunderbird?14:02
Amaranthchrisccoulson: yeah14:03
AmaranthIt's called libnotify-xulrunner or something14:03
chrisccoulsonyeah, i took a look at that14:03
chrisccoulsonit has some issues though.we want to integrate it properly really ;)14:03
chrisccoulson(which could still be another extension for now)14:03
Amaranthhrm, evolution using 1GB of RAM again14:04
chrisccoulsonbut not one that spawns a python helper and sends data down a pipe to it, and then raises the thunderbird window when you click on an entry by just running /usr/bin/thunderbird ;)14:04
AmaranthI only have 300k messages in there, come on evolution :)14:05
chrisccoulsonlol14:05
didrocksAmaranth: you second account was POP or IMAP?14:08
Amaranthdidrocks: both are imapx (gmail)14:08
didrocksAmaranth: ok, I don't have a clue about this bug, 2 imapx here and it's working :)14:09

didrocksahah, work email != gmail for me :)14:09
Amaranthit's google apps for your domain or whatever14:10
Amaranthhmm, actually I just got a bunch of bug mail on my main account and the icon didn't go green for that either14:12
seb128is libreoffice screwing unity for others as well?14:21
seb128nessita, u-c-p uploaded14:37
seb128nessita, is that wanted that the icon you use in the messaging menu is colored?14:38
seb128none of the other default ones are14:38
nessitaseb128: I think, though I should confirm with ivanka14:39
nessitaivanka: hi there, you around?14:40
ivankanessita: hi - what's up?14:40
seb128nessita, there is also no ">" next to it when the controlpanel is running14:41
seb128like it does for other softwares in that menu14:41
nessitaivanka: hi! quick question. We added Ubuntu One to the messaging menu like we discussed on Dallas. I used the default U1 icon, which is colored, but seb128 is telling me that the other app have a non colored icon14:42
nessitaseb128: are we supposed to add the '>' by hand?14:44
kenvandinenessita, that comes when the indicator knows your service is running14:44
seb128kenvandine, tedg: ^14:44
kenvandinei think that matches based on the desktop file you set14:45
nessitakenvandine: so, when the u1cp is running the messaging menu should do all the style changes by its own, right?14:45
tedgnessita, Yes, there is sometimes a "${app icon}-panel" variant as well.14:46
kenvandineit should add the little > to it14:46
tedgnessita, But it needs to be in the icon themes as there needs to be a light and dark one.14:46
nessitatedg: ok, I'll ask ivanka for those icons14:46
ivankanessita: I was about to say14:46
seb128hey tedg14:47
ivankacan you file a bug for us to review the icons?14:47
seb128tedg, lool was looking for you14:47
tedgGood morning seb12814:47

seb128lool, ^ ted is there ;-)14:47
seb128tedg, how are you?14:47
tedgseb128, Oh, ask him to stop! ;)14:47
looltedg: Hey14:47
ivankanessita: also, according to this (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MessagingMenu#Application%20sections) it could be in colour as monochrome is reserved for default apps, though for ubuntu one we might want to make a monochrome one14:47
tedgWell, though it was 75F this weekend and projected 25F tomorrow.  I'm scared of what tomorrow may bring ;)14:47
seb128lol14:48
looltedg: I have a reproducible crasher with indicator-applet which seems to point at some libdbusmenu issues; I couldn't find out what's going with valgrind an gdb, and was hoping you might have better ideas on how to debug it14:48
nessitaivanka: how should I refer to that icon? 'messaging menu icon'?14:48
ivankanessita: yeah - that will do, I am sure14:48

chrisccoulsoni'll try and take a look at that later15:33
mterrytedg, heyo.  When an indicator is loaded in unity, it's in-process with unity-panel-service, and the panel service does the actual popping up of menus, right?  When an indicator is loaded in gnome (via it's gnome applet), it's in-process with the applet, but I'm having trouble finding out what actually is doing the popping of menus15:33
kklimondachrisccoulson: I was fighting with libevent2 yesterday.15:33
kklimondabut it may be hopeless :/15:33
kklimondaso I may end up asking T dev to bundle libevent2 with transmission 2.20 as they did before15:34
tedgmterry, The applet does it -- more simply in that GTK just does it for us in that case.  We attach the menu to the menuitem we create in the applet.15:34
didrocksis ubuntu one contact in evolution working for anyone on natty?15:37
mterrytedg, ok, will look for that code15:38

loolfirefox was getting slower and slower for me15:51
chrisccoulsonthe version in natty?15:51
loolit had been a couple of weeks that firefox woudl get slower as hours passed; the UI would *hang* for up to 10 seconds using all CPU and not doing IO, and then would come back15:51

chrisccoulsonlool - we need to fix bugs like that really ;)15:52
looleventually, I woudl quit firefox and launch it again, then it would work for a couple of hours or less15:52
didrockshey desrt15:52
chrisccoulsonif it's using CPU, it might be useful to run something like sysprof15:52
chrisccoulsonjust to give some idea about what it's doing ;)15:52
loolI also witnessed that time to load sites wasn't great15:52
didrockslet me check since when we have 0.7.115:52
desrtactually, it looks like it might have a different trace than the one i fixed...15:53
seb128didrocks, the dates are on the bug15:53
loolthe last straw was last time I quit-ed firefox and it didn't remember my tabs15:53
chrisccoulsonlool - did you have any extensions installed? it should be pretty quick both starting up and loading sites15:53
loolchrisccoulson: So I think I straced firefox15:53
chrisccoulsonit is here, and mozilla have invested a lot to ensure it is fast ;)15:53

seb128lool, seems there is an issue with nvidia and launchpad15:53
loolchrisccoulson: and I think it might have been stating a lot of files, but I'm not sure; I suspect it might be ecryptfs related15:54
seb128didrocks, yes15:54
loolecryptfs is the next thing I ditch when I get the chance15:54
* didrocks opens15:54
loolchrisccoulson: $HOME is in ecryptfs and stat() is much slower on ecryptfs15:54
loolchrisccoulson: caused issues with bzr for me in the past15:54
chrisccoulsonhmmm, maybe i should try that15:54
* hyperair tried ecryptfs once, and found it was even slower than dmcrypt15:55
loolchrisccoulson: So after 3 days of using chrome, I can attest it's objectively faster to load websites, even after a fresh start of firefox; I also get much better results with google calendar15:55
chrisccoulsonhmmm15:55
loolI use google calendar heavily, and it's miserable with firefox; I keep having issues with this or that calendar not loading15:55
desrtdidrocks: maybe the bug is somehow related to the dbus daemon not running?15:55
didrocksdesrt: we still have dconf 0.5.1 on natty15:56

desrtin exchange, they were supposed to provide wholesale access to those lines at a rate decided by the government (since the government was footing part of the bill)16:13

njpateldesrt, hey16:34
desrti don't entirely agree with david's characterisation of the problem, but he seems at least to finally have become convinced that this is a GDBus issue that bites lots of people16:34
desrtnjpatel: hihi16:34
njpatelneither do I, seems like apps will be getting into lots of trouble with that16:34
desrtGApplication is actually totally non-buggy here16:34
desrtit works around the GDBus limitation in the only way you can:16:35
desrt1) register object path16:35
desrt2) try to take the name16:35
desrt3) if it didn't work, unregister object path16:35
njpatelyeah, I'd say that gdbus needs to be clever there, not gapplication or any application16:35
desrtthe problem is that users of GApplication assume that they will get the libdbus-1 style behaviour16:35
desrtand they presently don't16:35
desrtif david merges this fix, i'll actually be able to simplify GApplication a lot16:36

seb128out of unity things should be ok17:36
didrocksthat's why I'm looking a little bit before uploading17:36
didrocksand the dash is empty, but that's a minor regression17:36
didrocks(and won't be fixed)17:36
skaetok - we'll release note document it then.17:37
skaetthanks for looking into the stability issue didrocks,   let me know if we need to be adding to the release notes on the subject.17:38
didrocksskaet: yw, we'll work with dx for that and let you know :)17:38
* SpamapS just had a compiz segfault that he's submitting via apport17:39
rickspencer3pedro_, hello17:45
pedro_hello rickspencer317:48
rickspencer3pedro_, are you involved with validating 10.04.2?17:48
pedro_rickspencer3, yes, i'm working on the kernel and image testing of it17:50
rickspencer3pedro_, is there an iso tracking page and such?17:50
pedro_rickspencer3, jibel is the leader of the effort though17:50
rickspencer3ah, ok17:51
* bcurtiswx waves to room17:53
seb128pitti, there is a new gvfs available if you want to do the update18:10
seb128just pointing it, if you don't that's ok ;-)18:10
pittiseb128: currently working on pygobject, not sure whether I'll get to that today still18:11
seb128pitti, no worry18:11
seb128I'm calling it a day as well now, sport and dinner18:11
didrocksseb128: enjoy!18:12
didrocksmvo: hey, have you made some changes to software-center in SoftwarePane in natty? there is no more scroll_app_list (and I guess no more scroll_app_details)18:14
didrocksscroll_details*18:14
didrocksmvo: same for app_view it seems18:15
didrocksseems like I have to rewrite the plugin from scratch18:15
mvodidrocks: should not be needed, not that much has chnaged18:16
mvodidrocks: but we can have a look at this together tomorrow maybe? trouble is that I'm in a meeting now and need to leave early (in 15min)18:17
didrocksmvo: oh sure, tomorrow is fine, thanks :)18:17

brycehrickspencer3, what was the final decision on hibernate?  Is it still supposed to work in the kernel, just not the GUI?  I'm hearing a few bugs about a regression with it, just wondering if they're actual bugs or not18:17
pittiI don't think it would be a good idea to disable it in the kernel; we alreayd disabled it in the UI18:20
brycehpitti, also got a question is the UI absence configurable in some fashion (gconf?) or is it gone-gone?18:21
pittibryceh: it's configurable in polkit18:22
pittiso not as easy as gconf-editor18:22
brycehah ok18:22
pittisudo cat /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d/com.ubuntu.desktop.pkla18:22
pitti^ our default policy18:22
pittiyou can change it in /etc/polkit-1/localauthority18:22
pittibut if it's common desire to reenable it, then we shouldn't disable it in the first place18:23
brycehpitti, couple friends (sysadmins) mentioned it'd make them want to switch distros if they couldn't flip it back on18:24
brycehso thanks for the polkit tips, I think that may square things up18:26
rickspencer3bryceh, hey, so, uh, I think we actually need to discuss that change  a bit with users and the community before make it permanent18:29
brycehrickspencer3, that'd be a good idea18:29
rickspencer3I don't even know if a bug was logged or anything, but I don't know of any really public discussion or such18:30
rickspencer3bryceh, maybe I'll pop a note to @ubuntu-devel/@ubuntu-desktop18:30
rickspencer3bryce, are there bug #s that you can link me to for reference?18:30
brycehrickspencer3, from what I gather some people like it for persisting state even though it's really slow18:30
rickspencer3bryceh, sure, but are those same people maintaining it?18:31
brycehrickspencer3, no bug reports - they asked about it on irc18:31
rickspencer3no sane person would want to give up something that has benefit but no cost18:31
rickspencer3ok, well, in any case, this isn't somehting we should jfdi, I think18:32
brycehwait, I'm wrong - 71079618:32
rickspencer3I'll start a thread, and maybe a bug repot18:32
rickspencer3ah, good18:32
rickspencer3ok, thanks for jiggling the handle on this one bryceh18:32
brycehrickspencer3, sure thing18:33
rickspencer3hmm, right, so the bug only mentions the benefits, and not the costs18:33
rickspencer3but amputating a feature like this because it is buggy is not going to be popular outside the group of engineers who do the bulk of the work18:34
brycehrickspencer3, I definitely know the pain of having flood of bug reports for something that's impossible to support (ala 8xx, poulsbo...)18:35
kklimondait's not really removed though. Just disabled.18:35
brycehrickspencer3, but seems like there's room to leave it present but declared unsupported.  We've got X stuff like that, which people can use but we don't take bug reports for.  I could see hibernate fitting in there, especially if upstream isn't responsive to bug reports forwarded along about it.18:36
kklimondaI've heard just about as many reports from people for whom the hibernation didn't work as from people who used it with success.. incidentally, I could never make it to work well on my T6118:36
rickspencer3bryceh, well, not for OEM services and certification18:37
rickspencer3if it's on by default, we need to ensure that it's properly supported18:37
rickspencer3maybe we can have a GUI for the setting though?18:38
rickspencer3kklimonda, exactly, it's really hard to make it work nicely18:38
brycehah true18:39
rickspencer3bryceh, email sent19:04
rickspencer3bryceh, btw, updated this morning,  and everything seems happy again (i965 here)19:04
brycehrickspencer3, cool19:04
brycehrickspencer3, if all goes well we'll have the new xserver in today19:06
brycehunfortunately upstream is not done fiddling with it yet, and sounds like there's going to be yet another ABI break, but we can deal with that post-A219:07
rickspencer3bryceh, so, no new xorg until after A2?19:08
brycehrickspencer3, we'll put in what we got now - chris packaged it up and we have updated multitouch stuff from Chase, so we will have new X in A2.  but the ABI break means we won't be finished at A2 - we'll have to do another respin of all the drivers in the next few weeks19:10
bcurtiswxrickspencer3, re: hibernate email.  I think the only difference between suspend and hibernate is whether or not the computer is completely shut off or just in a low-power state.19:13
bcurtiswxboth attempt to restore the previous session19:13
bcurtiswxi am assuming the methods between hibernation and session saving are different though.. so idk if since session saving is corrupt, that it won't corrupt hibernation in the process either19:15
rickspencer3bcurtiswx, yes, I understand the difference19:16
rickspencer3but suspend will drain your battery over days19:16
rickspencer3but if you have KMS it turns back on really fast19:16
bcurtiswxrickspencer3, yes19:16
bcurtiswxrickspencer3, OK, I think it will be a very interesting experiment.  Do any of the usage statistics show whether suspend/hibernate is preferred over the other?19:20
rickspencer3bcurtiswx, not that I know of19:21
bcurtiswxrickspencer3, would a poll on which is used more be valuable to this decision?19:22
rickspencer3bcurtiswx, let's see what the discussions on the mailing lists turn up19:23
bcurtiswxrickspencer3, sure :)19:23
rickspencer3bcurtiswx, the thing is, there are costs19:23
rickspencer3everyone wants perfectly working hibernate, I know I do19:23
rickspencer3but the feature is costly and not perfect19:23
hoontekeI'm not a regular Ubu-dev (clearly), but I can anecdotally say that for precisely that startup time, suspend is more used around my office.19:24
bcurtiswxrickspencer3, in that case for sure I can see that removing it is the better option. and i agree19:24
chrisccoulsoni wish there was a way of detecting whether hibernate actually works19:25
chrisccoulsonit doesn't work on my desktop, ever19:25
chrisccoulsonyet, it's so easy to accidentally hit hibernate in the session menu19:25
chrisccoulsonand once you've done that, it's game over (you lose all your work)19:25
bcurtiswxchrisccoulson, iirc it doesn't verify that you want to either.. correct?19:25
chrisccoulsonbcurtiswx, yes. that's presumably because suspend/hibernate are *meant* to be non-destructive19:26
chrisccoulsonbut that's not the case on my desktop19:26
chrisccoulsonit's like having a self-destruct button ;)19:26
bcurtiswxchrisccoulson, yes so because we don't want to destroy someones work, hibernate should be disabled19:26
bcurtiswxi haven't had a bad suspend on a stable release yet (knocks on wood)19:27
rickspencer3bcurtiswx, hoonteke, chrisccoulson can I ask you guys to also share your thoughts on the mailing list? it would be good to have all the perspectives in one place19:27
chrisccoulsonsure, i can do that19:27
hoontekerickspencer3: heh, that would imply that I'm a member of the mailing list.  Gonna have to join ...19:28
rickspencer3hoonteke, :)19:28
bcurtiswxrickspencer3, done :)19:31
rickspencer3:)19:31
hoontekebcurtiswx: you just sent a message?19:32
hoontekeI hope I joined in time ...19:32
bcurtiswxhoonteke, there's an archive don't worry19:32
hoontekeyeah, usually is nowadays, but hte message won't be properly threaded from my response unless I can respond to a list message.19:33
chrisccoulsonheh, i can't wait for unity to publish, so i grab the deb off launchpad instead :)19:55
thalesHello,  Nautilus file manager does not display / recognize recent files backed up on back-up HD (format: Ext4) using 'rsync -a'. However terminal command 'ls' shows all files.  Why?19:58
thalesI checked permissions 'ls -l' and all should be displayed.19:59
thalesHowever, noted a phantom drive: media/disk2 {and the following phantom} media/disk2_ ; It seems that the phantom drive is displayed by the file manager, Nautilus20:00

rickspencer3what is the correct package there?20:42
broderrickspencer3: do you actually want it owned by polkit, or by the package that owns /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d/com.ubuntu.desktop.pkla (i.e. policykit-desktop-privileges)20:44
