jamaltadidrocks: hey there06:57
didrockshey jamalta06:57
jamaltahow's it going?06:58
didrockswell, dell decided to break my nvidia card, so working on a netbook… not the best to do a unity release. 1Gb of ram only… 10' screen :/07:01
didrocksand you?07:01
jamaltadidrocks: ouch :( sorry to hear that07:01
jamaltanot too bad, digging around the unity code07:01
jamaltatrying to figure out how / where ctk is coming from and how the unity-private dir fits in07:02
jamaltajust confused because i had assumed the new version of unity dropped clutter07:04
didrocksyeah, it dropped it07:05
didrocksmaybe we have still some leftover in trunk07:05
didrocksbut the code isn't used07:05
jamaltadidrocks: ah, then maybe i'm looking in the wrong place07:06
jamaltatrying to work out a bug with the search bar in the home place07:06
didrocksoh? which bug07:06

ubot5Ubuntu bug 725678 in unity (Ubuntu) "pressing ctrl+a in text entry inserts unknown character" [Undecided,Confirmed]07:07
didrocksthis should be looked in nux07:07
jamaltaAh!07:07
jamaltaYeah I was looking at the wrong place then. I was abit confused because in unity-private there's a vala class for the search bar which uses Ctk.Text07:08

elricLHello.I just installed natty in my system.When I looked at screens of unity launcher,it had quicklists for many items.Mine doesnt have any,is it my fault or the  screens are just misleading?07:24
jamaltaelricL: I can't tell you for sure but the screenshot might've been for the older Unity which ran on Ubunty Netbook Remix.07:26
elricLSo is quicklist implemented now or not?07:26
jamaltaelricL: I don't exactly know what you mean by quicklists, could you link to the screenshot?07:27
elricLsure,gimme a sec07:27
elricLhttp://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Screenshot-71.jpg07:28
jamaltaelricL: Ah, yeah you should see that menu if you right click on an item.07:30
elricLcan u just check if there is a quick list for trash also?07:30
jamaltaelricL: There is, but the only option is to empty the trash.07:31
elricLNo menu when i right click trash.Any ideas?07:31
jamaltaOh wait I'm running from trunk... it may be that the trash menu hasn't been pushed to the repositories yet. If that is the case then it will be soon :)07:32
elricLOk.that must be the case,gwibber has quicklists.I asked coz i wanted to write the quicklists for trash.07:34
jamaltaelricL: Ah, I understand.07:37
jamaltaAre you trying to look for a small bug to start playing around with Unity?07:37
elricLYup :)07:42
jamaltaelricL: Have you seen this? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/Bitesize07:44
elricLActually yes.07:44
elricLI started out in a VM a week ago,then I had a big test.Now I am determined to fix atleast one bug by this weekend07:45
elricLI primarily develop in python,so its a little slower for me to get around the code.07:45
jamaltaelricL: I understand, it's the same for me. I'm only slightly familiar with C++.07:46
elricLjamalta: Does Alt+F2 work for you?07:52
jamaltaelricL: No07:52
jamaltaI think there's a bug somewhere about making alt+f2 open the search bar from the home place.07:53
jamalta(the one you see when you click the ubuntu logo)07:53
elricLCan i ask how you launch your applications07:53
elricLwithout a mouse07:53
jamaltaelricL: I can't yet :)07:53
jamaltaI think if you press your super key twice you should get the search bar07:54
jamaltaAt least that works for me, although a tad bit buggy07:54
jamaltaWith the search bar selected07:54
elricLIts extremely annoying. Yeah,but the enter button doenst seem to work there07:54
jamaltaelricL: nope, at least not yet07:54
jamaltaFile a bug! (If one doesn't exist)07:54
jamaltaI was thinking about looking into that issue, because I'd like to be able to do the same.07:54
elricLI am gonna file a bug07:56
elricLOne more thing.07:56
elricLHow exactly do u see the panel at the left(not sure what its called) without using a mouse.Currently i use super key + f1 to show that panel07:57
jamaltaelricL: Hold down Super+f1 and you should see numbers appear on the icons.07:58
jamaltaYou can press the number to open / switch to that application.07:58
elricLwithout using keyboard07:58
jamaltawithout using a keyboard?07:59
jamaltaI don't think I understand what you're asking.07:59
elricLAh,nevermind.Just kinda irritating to move the mouse all the way to the left top corner to see the launcher08:00
jamaltaIf you press your keybinding you should see the panel08:00
jamaltaWithout having to use your mouse08:00
elricLThanx for the help jamalta .Going afk now.08:02
oSoMoNgood morning08:05

mungojerryhello, if an application doesn't launch from the unity launcher, is that a unity bug, or an application bug?09:53

evilvishmungojerry: there are already a couple of bugs(or maybe one master bug?) regarding that issue, check if your app is already reported10:19
jfiHello, is it planned to display the count of unread items of Liferea in its Unity Launcher entry? I quickly hacked it so I wonder if there is some interest that I package it correctly or wait an official support.10:24
evilvishjfi: i'm pretty sure someone would like it.. tedg is a liferea fan, i think he uploaded the indicator-patch10:29
evilvishso try poking him when he is around10:29
jfievilvish,  I don't doubt that it is a useful feature to have for liferea users on unity:) That's why I would like to know if there is somebody already coding it to avoid spending useless time on my version:)10:32

didrocksJohnLea: I think that mpt's remark was to have a similar "navigation" between panel and launcher than the 2 gnome-panel "panels"14:28
JohnLeadidrocks; isn't the similarity desirable?  A user who is used to the gnome shortcuts will be able to navigate between the Unity equivalent of of gnome panels (top bar, launcher, etc...)14:31

=== m_conley_away is now known as m_conley
mterrytedg, heyo.  got a dbusmenu issue I wanted to talk through with you.  It's a race condition between empathy and appmenu.  Basically, empathy loves to recreate its Contact menu (whenever anything in the window changes, even on focus-in!).  This causes a race between clicking on an item in the menu and the focus-in recreating the menu, destroying the menuitem you clicked on.  So the click has no effect when it arrives.  I think par14:41
mterryt of the problem here is that apps don't know when a menu is open and so can't prevent such races themselves (empathy does check if the gtkmenu is visible).  Could we add a property to dbusmenu items to indicate whether their submenus are open or not?  (kinda-like about-to-show, but this also would change when the menu is closed)14:41
ronockenvandine, yes I do, will need to get the playlist  icons working before hand though. Probably won't release for a few hours yet.14:41
JohnLeadidrocks; so shall I reply saying I don't think there is a issue here?14:44
didrocksJohnLea: yes please :)14:44
didrocksthat would be nice!14:44
ronockenvandine, so really I'm waiting on a icontheme support within dbusmenu14:44

yeahyeahyeahonly 80?15:44
tedgmterry, No, sorry.  Missed it.15:44
DaekdroomWell.. All GTK+ and QT apps should work with appmenu... the rest..15:44
mterryDaekdroom, and firefox, thunderbird, libreoffice.  hopefully eclipse too15:45
tedgmterry, Yeah, I think that'd be good to add.  chrisccoulson would also like it for FF support.15:45
tedgmterry, Apparently they have an event in their DOM for menu closed.15:45
tedgmterry, Though, I'm unsure how you're going to do that in the case of Empathy?  Just old refs to the menu items?15:46
tedgmterry, Hold...15:46
chrisccoulsonbeing notified when menus are closed?15:46
chrisccoulsoni currently synthesize my own notifications in firefox ;)15:46
chrisccoulsonbut it would be good to have those properly15:47
mterrytedg, no, empathy avoids swapping out the menu if it's open right now.  But currently, dbusmenu doesn't set the 'visible' state on its GtkMenus because it doesn't have enough info15:47
mterrychrisccoulson, yeah, there's a race condition in empathy that could be fixed if we knew when menus were actually open15:47
yeahyeahyeahmterry, hopefully eclipse too - yeah, i just tried and it's not supported (yet)15:48
chrisccoulsonmterry - we can know when they're open, we just don't know when they are closed again :(15:48
mterryyeahyeahyeah, that's on my plate, but I'm blocked by another bug that prevents empathy from launching at all.  :-/15:48
mterrychrisccoulson, right  :)15:48
chrisccoulsonbut i worked around that in firefox for now, and my workaround works pretty well15:48
mterrychrisccoulson, how?15:48
yeahyeahyeahdang15:49
chrisccoulsonmterry - you can guess menu closing on several different events:15:49
chrisccoulson1) a menuitem is activated15:49
chrisccoulson2) the window gets focus15:49
chrisccoulson3) another menu is opened15:49
yeahyeahyeahwhen will the API for chrome be ready btw? so it has the same like on osx?15:49
chrisccoulsonthe only case where it doesnt work is where a user opens a menu, and then navigates directly to another applications window15:49
mterrychrisccoulson, that sounds good, but hacky, yeah.  :)  Would be nice to have formal support15:50
jcastrothere's an open bug in chromium for the menu, they just haven't gotten to it yet.15:50

mterrynjpatel, and when I hide it (by emitting ENTRY_REMOVED), there's a unclickable gap of about  20 pixels between the messaging menu and the me menu.  Is that the indicator's fault or is the panel having a hard time with an indicator with no entry?16:14
mterrynjpatel, yeah16:14
njpatelmterry, why entry removed? just gtk_widget_hide (label) should do the same for you?16:14
Kaleodidrocks: by that you mean that Entry:Runner does not expose a globalModel?16:14
njpatelmterry, seems like a panel bug in any case16:15
mterryI just figured I'd be all fancy.  I can try hiding it16:15
njpatelheh16:15
didrocksKaleo: no, it doesn't16:15
njpateli'd try hiding it, it should work :)16:15
didrocksKaleo: and so no globalGroup either16:15
njpatelif it doesn't I think I know what the issue might be16:15
Kaleodidrocks: ok, will see what happens it Unity 2D when the new applications place lands16:15
Cimijcastro: you should ask dbarth I don't know what I could have from QA right now16:15
didrocksKaleo: "what happens", like "a crash" ? ;)16:16
mterrynjpatel, hiding does the same thing, but is simpler, so I'll stick with that code.  and file a bug in unity I guess16:18
njpatelmterry, yeah, assign to me and milestone to 3.6.6 if you can please16:18

cyphermoxyeahyeahyeah, have you reported it on launchpad? I'd assume that's an issue in pidgin's indicator plugin or whatever17:06
yeahyeahyeahkk cyphermox17:06
cyphermoxyeahyeahyeah, it's obviously just a wild guess there, but you should be able to report it (and do so using ubuntu-bug if possible), then we can look and figure out what exactly crashes17:07

mterrytedg, to go back in time for a second, would you prefer the ability to tell when a dbusmenu is open or not be implemented as a property exposed over dbus or a close signal (to match the about-to-show signal)?18:02
tedgmterry, I think it should be an event.  About to show is special in that it should be able to block the menu showing, closed doesn't need that.18:03
mterrytedg, is event separate from signal?  You mean it should be an event::closed signal?18:04
tedgmterry, I guess I'm think the dbus traffic should call the "event" method on the server.18:05
mterrytedg, would listeners know whether the about-to-show was blocked?  i.e. would they be able to reliably tell when a menu was open?  Or maybe we can add both open and close event calls18:05
tedgmterry, We can see whether there's a response in dbus-monitor, so they would be able to see that.  But, I'm not opposed to having both.18:06
tedgmterry, I think (next cycle) we need to have an event mask to not send events menuitems don't care about.  (not really a mask, but a list of strings)18:07
mterrytedg, my end goal is to be able to have the parser sync these events with menu-widget visibility in the app.18:07
tedgmterry, Yeah, so having both would be handy in your usage.18:08
mterrytedg, don't dbus signals work that way?  :)18:09

aruiztedg, ping19:02
tedgaruiz, Howdy19:02
aruiztedg, I have some questions about dbusmenu19:02
tedgaruiz, It's perfect. :)19:02
aruizah19:02
aruiznice19:02
aruizbye bye then19:02
aruizX-)19:02
aruiztedg, so, once you're done with a window19:03
aruizwhat are the exact steps to take19:03
tedgaruiz, You should unregister it if you want.  But indicator-appmenu will notice the window has been destroyed and free the menus if you don't as well.19:03
aruizg_object_unref (server); then g_object_unref(root_menuitem);19:03
tedgaruiz, You shouldn't need to unref the root item unless you're holding onto a ref for it.19:04
aruizuh19:04
aruizokay19:04
aruizI'm removing that19:04
tedgaruiz, Creating it does cause a ref.  So if you create, then set, you're holding onto a ref.19:04
aruiztedg, I should unregister too right?19:04
aruizah yeah19:04
aruizokay19:04
tedgaruiz, I'd say that'd be nice.  You don't have to though.19:04
aruiztedg, so, another question19:05
tedgaruiz, We have to handle the case where things crash anyway...19:05
aruizthere are some sub windows in LO that are somewhat "special"19:05
aruiza couple of dialogs and the main libreoffice welcome window19:05
aruizI haven't managed to get an XID for those19:05
aruizit just won't let me get to the right interface to get that info from them19:06
aruiztedg, when that happens, the nautilus menus are shown in appindicator19:06
jporsinitedg, Hello, do you know if there is some "ubuntu plan" to display the Liferea number of unread items in the Unity Launcher entry? I have quickly hacked code to do it and I wonder if there is somebody already working on such feature.19:07
tedgaruiz, It shouldn't be the nautilus menus... are you registering an XID of zero?19:07
aruizjporsini, file a bug against the liferea package and submit the patch :-)19:07
NateWtedg: is this channel the right place to discuss what i wrote earlier? ^^19:07
aruiztedg, no, there's no registration for those as far as I know19:08
tedgaruiz, I'm not sure in those cases what we should do... as we don't have a lot of information.  Do you know if they're transient?19:08
aruizI have no idea19:08
aruizI can't get hold of those from the plugin19:08
tedgjporsini, I don't know of anyone working on that.  That'd be cool though.19:09
jporsiniaruiz, hum, I asked the liferea team, but it seems that they prefer to do it outside liferea19:09
tedgNateW, Best place to talk about it is probably on the bug...19:09
aruizjporsini, are you patching liferea itself or is there a way to do it from the outside?19:10
tedgaruiz, Do the special windows have their own menus?19:10
aruiztedg, yes19:10
aruiztedg, but, I can't get hold of them, so no registration and no server is started19:10
tedgaruiz, We've had to distro patch Liferea, they don't want to take the patches upstream.19:10
jporsiniaruiz: actually, I have written a very small daemon which is 'polling' liferea throw dbus and use libunity19:10
tedgjporsini, It'd probably be better to take the distro patch and modify it to use libunity as well as libindicate.19:11
tedgaruiz, Hmm, that's really weird.19:11
aruiztedg, install lo-menubar19:11
aruizand you'll see what I mean19:11
tedgaruiz, I've got it.  Which windows?19:11
aruizopen a terminal19:11
aruizand run libreoffice19:11
jporsinitedg: in term of resources, yes, it should be better to modify liferea than using a separate process19:11
aruiztedg, that launch window19:12
aruizis an example19:12
tedgaruiz, Uhg.  That's frustrating.  Is there a reason they're special?  I mean, could fixing the fact that they're special be a better answer than trying to work around it.19:13
jporsinitedg: but I have never coded in liferea so I am not very confortable with the idea of modifying it19:13
aruiztedg, fixing the fact that they're special would seem like a straightforward thing to do19:13
aruiztedg, there's nothing straigtforward in LO I'm afraid :(19:13
tedgaruiz, Yeah, I'm just curious if there's a reason or if it's an oversight.  "No one would ever need to look at this window..."19:14
tedgaruiz, Let's call it a premature optimization :)19:14
aruizwell19:14
apinheirogord, hi, you have been working on the dash keyboard navigation, right?19:14
aruiztedg, yeah19:14
jporsinitedg: actually the integration of liferea in the indicator is done *in* liferea? not outside?19:14
aruiztedg, I get that all the time19:15
aruiztedg, the UNO interfaces are everything but stable actually19:15
tedgjporsini, Well, there's already a patch there that touches most of the liferea code, so it'd only be exporting the same data a different way.  Plus, someone will review it. :)19:15
tedgjporsini, Yes, inside.19:15
tedgaruiz, Which, honestly, is the most surprising part of this project to me.  I had higher expectations for UNO.19:15
aruiztedg, some people only implement the functions they need and leave the rest of the interface returning empty data19:15
aruizyeah me too19:15
jporsinitedg: ok, I am going to take a look at this patch it should be quite simple to add Unity integration if it is already done for indicator, thanks for the information!19:16
tedgjporsini, No problem, good luck!19:16
aruiztedg, it's not only that I can't get the XID, I can't get the menubar object and hide it either19:17
aruiztedg, what's happening there, is it looking after the parent window's menubar?19:20
tedgaruiz, I'm not sure, I think that BAMF isn't opening the window right.  If you switch focus it goes back to the stub.19:20
tedgDBO, What's the command to dump all the xinfo off of a winow.19:22

DBOtedg, xwininfo19:22

aruiztedg, I might be able to fix the problem for that one19:29
aruizbut no for some dialogs that have their own menubars19:29
tedgaruiz, Well, I guess the options are a) try to make those windows not special 2) acknowledge the bug and make sure we don't show stubs for those windows.19:35
tedga and 2.  Nice.19:35
aruizhah19:35
jamaltaHey, so there's no NUX_VK_* for lower-case letters...19:35
jamaltaWell, there is but for example 'a' is 0x61 but that's defined as NUX_VK_NUMPAD119:36
jamalta:\19:36
aruiztedg, I think that not showing stuff for a window that is not registered is not a bad idea in general19:36
aruiztedg, regardless of LibreOffice19:36
tedgaruiz, Well, we were showing the stubs so there wasn't a big blank on the panel.  But that's going away in Unity as it'll show the window title there.19:37
aruizshould I file a bug?19:37
tedgaruiz, To not show stubs?19:38
