| humphreybc | You guys notice that often the Unity launcher will get "stuck" and won't slide back if it's set to auto hide? | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| Omega | humphreybc: I haven't had that happen to me recently. | 00:17 |
| rbnswartz | DBO you in? | 00:36 |
| jonny | hi... what the diference betwin ubuntu and ubuntu-ubity? | 01:08 |
| jonny | ubuntu-unit | 01:08 |
| jonny | somany people and nobody know tell me??!!! | 01:09 |
| Omega | Ubuntu is the project, the Operating System. | 01:10 |
| Daekdroom | Unity is a shell. | 01:10 |
| Omega | Unity is the desktop shell, the part of the operating system you see. | 01:10 |
| jonny | ok | 01:10 |
| Omega | Hey Daekdroom. | 01:11 |
| jonny | sorry... ubuntu-gnome and ubuntu-unity | 01:11 |
| jonny | what is diference | 01:11 |
| Daekdroom | GNOME is a desktop environment. Unity is a desktop shell. Unity works on top of GNOME. | 01:11 |
| Daekdroom | and therefore, is not replacing it, as many people are mislead to believe in. | 01:11 |
| jonny | ahhh... then ubuntu = ubuntu(unity) | 01:12 |
| jonny | only interface is diferent | 01:12 |
| Daekdroom | Ubuntu will start using Unity by default. | 01:12 |
| jonny | hummmm I see | 01:13 |
| Daekdroom | (in the future releases, starting by 11.04) | 01:13 |
| jonny | yeap... I readed about that | 01:13 |
| jonny | ubuntu 11.04 will use Unity | 01:13 |
| jonny | some thinq like this | 01:14 |
| jonny | I'm thinking change to Unity because the fonts in my ubuntu is not good | 01:14 |
| humphreybc | Agree 100% with MPT on this. https://lists.launchpad.net/ayatana/msg05037.html | 01:14 |
| humphreybc | Current menu implementation is f**king moronic. | 01:15 |
| humphreybc | (excuse my french) | 01:15 |
| jonny | what is moronic? | 01:15 |
| humphreybc | Unity's implementation of menus (or rather, lack of) in the panel. | 01:15 |
| Daekdroom | idiotic, I think | 01:15 |
| Daekdroom | humphreybc, I think it'd only make sense if menus also melted into title bars in non-maximized windows, like Chrome. | 01:16 |
| Daekdroom | Because in large screen resolutions, the menu might stay too far away from a window. | 01:16 |
| jonny | I see... | 01:16 |
| humphreybc | Daekdroom: yeah, you ever tried using Unity with more than one monitor? | 01:17 |
| Daekdroom | Of course it's easy to aim because it's at the top of the screen, but.. | 01:17 |
| jonny | What can I do to make my webbrowser fonts be better in ubuntu? | 01:17 |
| humphreybc | It's basically the worst thing ever | 01:17 |
| Daekdroom | I have never tried using anything with more than one monitor. | 01:17 |
| jonny | I use ubuntu in 2 monitors and I've no problem | 01:17 |
| jonny | I dont know about unity | 01:18 |
| humphreybc | I quite often have my laptop hooked up to a 24" external monitor | 01:18 |
| jonny | I'm thinking install Unity, but I dont know if it is better then ubuntu | 01:18 |
| humphreybc | jonny: Unity /is/ Ubuntu. | 01:18 |
| fagan | jonny: there is a resizing problem for any other monitors at the moment if memory serves me right | 01:18 |
| fagan | on the new unity | 01:19 |
| jonny | somebody know what can I do about fonts (dont show good) in my brouwser | 01:19 |
| jonny | ? | 01:19 |
| fagan | yeah its a rendering issue its being worked on I think | 01:19 |
| jonny | well... I'm tired... another time I came back... tanks.... bye | 01:19 |

| MacSlow | hey everybody | 08:01 |
| nerochiaro | didrocks: ping | 09:46 |
| didrocks | nerochiaro: hey | 09:46 |
| nerochiaro | didrocks: did you see the discussion I had yesterday with Gary about turning the dbus method call into a signal ? | 09:47 |
| nerochiaro | so that it's broadcast to everyone interested instead of just targeted to unity | 09:47 |
| didrocks | nerochiaro: no, I didn't | 09:48 |
| didrocks | nerochiaro: I'm not sure about a signal as this one is really specific | 09:48 |
| didrocks | with Unity "launcher" | 09:48 |
| didrocks | and icon size/x/y | 09:48 |
| nerochiaro | didrocks: well, the issue is that we would have to register on the bus as unity, but currently all our interfaces are on com.canonical.Unity2d ... it's not a big deal to register also as com.canonical.Unity, but seems less clean | 09:50 |
| nerochiaro | instead with a signal, it's sent out to no one in particular | 09:50 |
| nerochiaro | so SC doesn't care if Unity or Unity2d gets it | 09:50 |
| nerochiaro | or someone else | 09:50 |
| didrocks | nerochiaro: I think the long term solution is an external process for that | 09:51 |
| didrocks | dealing with logic for the launcher | 09:51 |
| didrocks | like the intellihide and such | 09:51 |
| nerochiaro | didrocks: that seems reasonable, on the long term | 09:51 |
| didrocks | so then, a method would make sense as the daemon will bring the info to the rendering part | 09:51 |
| nerochiaro | right | 09:51 |
| didrocks | so right now, I would say, steal the Unity name :) | 09:51 |
| nerochiaro | ok, i'll just do that :) | 09:52 |
| didrocks | great thanks! :) | 09:53 |

| rodrigo_ | njpatel, I'm having problems with the SyncGeometries thing we talked about (remember?) | 10:27 |
| rodrigo_ | njpatel, doing the call once the indicators are synced from the service doesn't work, since the stuff is not yet drawn on the screen | 10:28 |
| rodrigo_ | njpatel, so, I've tried doing it in PostDraw, Draw, PostLayout, etc, so what would be the best place to do it? | 10:29 |
| njpatel | rodrigo_, Draw should work, as it's its' guaranteed to be valid at that point | 10:37 |
| njpatel | rodrigo_, also, make sure your using GetAbsoluteGeometries | 10:38 |
| njpatel | GetAbsoluteGeometry(), I mean | 10:38 |
| njpatel | as that's the geometry relative to the 0,0 of the screen | 10:38 |
| rodrigo_ | njpatel, ok, trying again, Draw didn't work last time I tried, but might be another thing | 10:38 |
| rodrigo_ | njpatel, ok | 10:38 |
| njpatel | rodrigo_, just be aware that draw get's called *alot* so make sure you have something cached so you know when you actually need to update | 10:39 |
| rodrigo_ | njpatel, hmm, right, that might have been the problem | 10:39 |
| njpatel | rodrigo_, Draw in PanelView, called after IndicatorObjectFactory emits a changed signal (whenever it recevied anything that might cause a geometry update, you'll need to add that) would do the trick | 10:40 |
| njpatel | the panelview can cache the changed and then on the next draw sync the geometries | 10:40 |
| rodrigo_ | ok | 10:40 |

| === MacSlow is now known as MacSlow|lunch | ||
| humphreybc | Hey njpatel, I have something to add to my Unity wishlist :) | 12:18 |
| humphreybc | I would like to be able to drag the Places, Applications, Volumes and Trash icons anywhere I like, without being constrained to having them *below* the app launcher icons. | 12:18 |
| humphreybc | I almost think the "Applications" dash is more important than the Ubuntu icon | 12:19 |
| njpatel | yep, I think there is a feature request for that | 12:19 |
| humphreybc | See, the Ubuntu icon's Dash entries are mainly "Find more of this" | 12:19 |
| humphreybc | But the Apps entries are mainly "use what you currently have" | 12:19 |
| humphreybc | I'd bet most people want to actually use things more often than they want to find things | 12:19 |
| humphreybc | So why the Applications launcher icon is squashed down near the bottom is beyond me. | 12:20 |
| njpatel | yep, we're hoping that those 10-15 apps would be moved to the launcher so they won't be opening the dash all the time, but it makes sense | 12:20 |
| humphreybc | Sure, the Ubuntu button dash allows you to launch /any/ application, but, to do so, you need to know the name of that application for you to find it easily. | 12:20 |
| njpatel | or some keywords but yeah, it's not geared for browsing like the actual places are | 12:21 |
| humphreybc | Also, only showing 6 apps under "installed" and then having "See 75 more" is crazy ludicrous. | 12:21 |
| njpatel | humphreybc, it's not done yet, we'll auto-expand if there is space | 12:21 |
| humphreybc | Especially since those 6 apps are pointless things I'd hardly ever use, like, About Me, Additional Drivers, Solitaire, Agave and Assistive Technologies. | 12:21 |
| humphreybc | At least three of those aren't even /apps/ - they're settings. | 12:22 |
| humphreybc | Why are they in the apps view? | 12:22 |
| njpatel | because they weren't in there but people got confused so we had to add them back | 12:22 |
| njpatel | in there originally* | 12:23 |
| humphreybc | Okay, so use case: Something most people would use semi-regularly but not regularly enough to actually have it pinned to their launcher. LibreOffice Impress. | 12:23 |
| humphreybc | Aka, they want to make a Slideshow. | 12:23 |
| humphreybc | So, they click the Ubuntu button | 12:23 |
| njpatel | type in slideshow or presentation | 12:23 |
| njpatel | and they get impress | 12:24 |
| humphreybc | If they knew the name of the app (unlikely) they'd search that. And yes, keywords work, which is impressive (I was expecting them to not work ) :) | 12:24 |
| humphreybc | But let's say they don't recognize the text field is there | 12:24 |
| humphreybc | (Right now, there is no blinking cursor suggesting I can type in there but I guess that's a bug) | 12:24 |
| njpatel | "Find More Apps" and browse or choose "Office" section from dropdown? | 12:25 |
| humphreybc | So they click Ubuntu Button > Find More Apps > See 75 more results > LibreOffice Impress | 12:25 |
| humphreybc | A lot of clicks? | 12:25 |
| humphreybc | The dropdown isn't immediately obvious, imo | 12:25 |
| njpatel | it's not styled yet that's why | 12:25 |
| humphreybc | okay | 12:26 |
| njpatel | but yes, more clicks | 12:26 |
| * humphreybc thinks he should just shut up till final... but worries nothing will change | 12:26 | |
| njpatel | you don't see things changing week to week? | 12:26 |
| humphreybc | Not really, to be honest. Nothing visual. Definitely bug fixes. | 12:26 |
| njpatel | Also, you probably want to bring up ideas on ayatana list so designers can see....I don't have much control over design :) | 12:26 |
| njpatel | I'm still awaiting some key visuals for dash, I'm promised that they will be with me early next week | 12:27 |
| humphreybc | I think that Unity has ironically become more suited to power users, perhaps because it's been designed and implemented by power users (a common Achilles heel of open source) even though it is designed for newbies. | 12:27 |
| njpatel | so they'll be in next weeks release | 12:27 |
| humphreybc | I just somehow doubt my Mum will know what the F is going on | 12:27 |
| njpatel | I don't think so, you'll be surprised at how much google has made people want a search box to type something into and expect an answer back | 12:28 |
| humphreybc | In fact I can tell you the exact first point she'll get stuck. She will open an app, the dock to the left will hide, and then she won't know what to do to open another app. She'll move the cursor to the left wall and nothing will happen. | 12:28 |
| njpatel | hence search is continuously being refined | 12:28 |
| humphreybc | Hell it even took me ages to figure out you had to move your cursor right up to the top left corner pixel to reveal the launcher again | 12:28 |
| njpatel | yeah, I really want the launcher to be fixed by default | 12:28 |
| njpatel | I'm still hoping that will change | 12:29 |
| dbarth | jaytaoko|afk: just a heads up when you arrive about apinheiro's branch which needs to be merged in | 12:29 |
| humphreybc | It's easy to fix if it's auto hiding | 12:29 |
| humphreybc | Simply have it reveal when you move your cursor to anywhere on the left wall | 12:29 |
| humphreybc | It slides away to the left, hinting at the fact it should be able to be called by putting your cursor anywhere up against the left wall | 12:29 |
| humphreybc | All docks do it. It's a common and expected behaviour enhanced by the hinting animation. | 12:29 |
| njpatel | Agreed, tis is something that needs to be brought up on ayatana | 12:29 |
| humphreybc | I believe keybuk has already mentioned this issue | 12:30 |
| * njpatel makes todo | 12:30 | |

| humphreybc | (not to mention Mac OS X if you have that set to hide) | 12:30 |
| humphreybc | Anyway | 12:31 |
| humphreybc | Maybe I should compile a list of gripes | 12:31 |
| humphreybc | Only to be told they'll all be fixed? Perhaps I'll wait till after final. | 12:31 |
| njpatel | Agreed, but it's out of my hands, unfortunately | 12:31 |
| humphreybc | Who should I be talking to then? | 12:32 |
| humphreybc | Rick? Jason? | 12:32 |
| njpatel | Gripes are good, if they are in a list for later viewing :) | 12:32 |
| njpatel | nope, none of them design | 12:32 |
| njpatel | humphreybc, JohnLea and Mark | 12:32 |
| humphreybc | Yeah but as the desktop managers Rick and Jason should have sway | 12:32 |
| humphreybc | (I can't remember exact titles, they change often enough at Canonical) | 12:32 |
| humphreybc | really? Two people are making the decisions about Unity, one of them not even a designer? | 12:33 |
| humphreybc | Are they getting feedback from anyone else? | 12:33 |
| njpatel | No, I pointed you to the leads that can you can get an answer from | 12:33 |
| humphreybc | ah okay | 12:33 |
| njpatel | Otherwise Ayatana list or bugs, whichever your prefer | 12:34 |

| BigWhale | well searching is hard | 12:47 |
| BigWhale | I implemented follow/unfollow, that's easy now | 12:47 |
| BigWhale | and gnome terminal needs some unity love | 12:49 |
| coz_ | good day all | 13:13 |
| kenvandine | BigWhale, hey | 13:15 |
| BigWhale | Hm, will there be any feature freeze exceptions for Unity. | 13:15 |
| BigWhale | kenvandine, good morning. :) | 13:15 |
| === apinheiro is now known as apinheiro_lunch | ||
| BigWhale | my last statement was actually a question :> | 13:16 |
| BigWhale | second last | 13:16 |
| kenvandine | BigWhale, i think will be | 13:16 |
| humphreybc | BigWhale: there are *always* feature freeze exceptions | 13:17 |
| kenvandine | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/NattyReleaseStatus | 13:17 |
| kenvandine | lists all the expected stuff | 13:17 |
| BigWhale | oh, thanks. | 13:18 |
| humphreybc | Do you guys get weird graphical glitches when alt-tabbing in Unity? | 13:24 |
| BigWhale | No. I just managed to freeze the whole desktop... | 13:25 |
| BigWhale | by running ccsm | 13:25 |
| popey | humphreybc: i find alt+tab in general to be very poor performance wise :( | 13:27 |
| BigWhale | humphreybc, alt tabbing was a bit slow for me, but I'm running in vbox, so this might be the reason | 13:27 |
| humphreybc | I managed to nab a screenshot, lemme upload | 13:27 |
| popey | I'm using unity on native iron with nvidia GPU | 13:27 |
| kenvandine | mine looks fine, intel graphics | 13:27 |
| kenvandine | but it is slow to show | 13:27 |
| kenvandine | but looks nice | 13:28 |
| kenvandine | and works fine once it is raised | 13:28 |
| humphreybc | http://twitpic.com/4a0v13 | 13:28 |
| kenvandine | i just think it is too slow to show | 13:28 |
| humphreybc | I get stuff like this happen basically every 1 in 10 alt-tabs | 13:28 |
| popey | my manky intel work xp box is near instant, but I just can't get Ubuntu to switch windows quickly enough | 13:28 |
| humphreybc | and when I move the mouse around, the IRC window gets "erased" to reveal Facebook. | 13:28 |
| popey | humphreybc: i have seen that with nouveau | 13:28 |
| popey | is that browser chrome humphreybc ? | 13:29 |
| humphreybc | yeah, chromium | 13:29 |
| popey | i actually get that happen on windows with chrome | 13:29 |
| popey | only started recently, i suspect a chrome bug | 13:29 |
| humphreybc | Actually, now that you mention it, I've never noticed it happen with other apps | 13:30 |
| BigWhale | this does look like browser bug... only browser elements are popping out | 13:30 |
| humphreybc | I also find Unity to act weird with window selection. Quite often it'll require more than one click on the title bar of a window for it become the focused one. | 13:31 |
| popey | oh, i can beat that humphreybc :) | 13:31 |
| * humphreybc wishes he was an OP so he could change the topic to #unitywars | 13:31 | |
| popey | dual screen, open an app full screen on both displays | 13:32 |
| humphreybc | ha | 13:32 |
| humphreybc | yes | 13:32 |
| humphreybc | But that's always been a bug in Linux | 13:32 |
| popey | no no no, hang on.. | 13:32 |
| humphreybc | The thing spazzes out | 13:32 |
| popey | on screen 2, make that active, then try and grab the title bar to unmaximise it | 13:32 |
| popey | you end up unmaximising the wrong window | 13:33 |
| humphreybc | lol | 13:33 |
| popey | and it jumps from screen 2 to screen 1 | 13:33 |
| kenvandine | good morning tedg | 13:33 |
| humphreybc | whenever I run anything fullscreen fullstop on Ubuntu the whole thing just shits itself | 13:33 |
| popey | :) | 13:33 |
| humphreybc | And I end up having to go to a virtual terminal and run sudo service gdm restart | 13:33 |
| tedg | Good morning kenvandine | 13:33 |
| BigWhale | popey, lets not get into the dual screen problems... Because I'm about to cry :> | 13:33 |
| tedg | THERE IS NO CRYING IN IRC! | 13:34 |
| popey | humphreybc: its all good fun :) | 13:34 |
| * kenvandine wonders why these things don't happen to me | 13:34 | |
| * popey offers BigWhale a tissue | 13:34 | |
| tedg | :) | 13:34 |
| popey | kenvandine: nvidia twinview? | 13:34 |
| * kenvandine pats his reliable thinkpad | 13:34 | |
| kenvandine | intel goodness | 13:34 |
| kenvandine | :-D | 13:34 |
| * popey pats the video card everyone else has | 13:34 | |
| popey | :D | 13:34 |
| BigWhale | popey: I can't decide which one is worse, nvidia or amd | 13:34 |
| humphreybc | BigWhale: it's tough, but, Intel. | 13:35 |
| popey | meh | 13:35 |
| kenvandine | BigWhale, yeah that is a tough one | 13:35 |
| kenvandine | intel just works :-D | 13:35 |
| kenvandine | at least for me, not a big gamer | 13:35 |
| BigWhale | right now AMD is in the lead... You have to do some binary replacement in the driver | 13:35 |

| nerochiaro | tremolux: Good morning. i just noticed that in your SC branch the DBUS calls is made as soon as the user clicks on the "add to launcher" link. didn't we say it would be done when installations is complete ? | 13:44 |
| nerochiaro | tremolux: also, i talked with didrocks, and we're ok to leave the call as a method call over DBUS instead of a signal | 13:45 |

| smspillaz | *idea | 14:16 |
| smspillaz | have one insane person, not two | 14:16 |
| robtaylor | didrocks: sure, not really an issue. I've added a bunch of debugging in core for that so far ;) | 14:16 |
| robtaylor | smspillaz: heh :) well, i don't want to tread on your feet, that wouldn't help | 14:17 |
| smspillaz | robtaylor: that debugging stuff would be useful to me | 14:17 |
| smspillaz | robtaylor: also +1 to didrocks on the session integration | 14:17 |
| robtaylor | smspillaz: cool, just noting a bunch of error cases that silently return, using compLogMessage | 14:17 |
| smspillaz | since that's important | 14:17 |

| didrocks | robtaylor: bug #716462 | 14:19 |
| ubot5 | Launchpad bug 716462 in compiz (Ubuntu) "Unity is not restored on unity/compiz crash: compiz doesn't register properly with gnome-session" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/716462 | 14:19 |
| didrocks | so you know… | 14:19 |
| didrocks | something which *never* happens :) | 14:19 |
| didrocks | compiz/unity crashes! | 14:20 |
| didrocks | normally, you can register components on gnome-session. The fact to register them makes them respawn when they quit | 14:20 |
| === chaotic_ is now known as chaotic | ||
| didrocks | the gnome-session side is done (we are telling "compiz is a required components, if it crashes, please respawn it" | 14:20 |
| robtaylor | didrocks: hmm, the bug list i've been asked to focus on is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bugs?field.tag=unity | 14:21 |
| didrocks | seems that there is a missing piece in compiz side to actually register it | 14:21 |
| robtaylor | didrocks: and that's not in it | 14:21 |
| didrocks | robtaylor: I make this list, I probably forgot it :) | 14:21 |
| robtaylor | oh, my bad, it is :) | 14:21 |
| didrocks | but basically, that should be one of the priority | 14:21 |
| didrocks | as bad things happen, and if you are running unity | 14:21 |
| didrocks | this means, "no more panel/launcher/…" | 14:22 |
| robtaylor | didrocks: ah, you probably want to set the prio on it then, it's still at medium | 14:22 |
| didrocks | so respawning is more that required :) | 14:22 |
| robtaylor | makes a lot of sense to me! | 14:22 |
| didrocks | robtaylor: of course, doing ;) | 14:22 |
| didrocks | robtaylor: it was medium because it was at the beginning of the cycle | 14:22 |
| didrocks | now I raise it | 14:22 |
| didrocks | robtaylor: so, I think this glue code should be done in the gnome-compat plugin | 14:23 |
| didrocks | smspillaz: stop me if I'm wrong | 14:23 |
| === m_conley_away is now known as m_conley | ||
| robtaylor | didrocks: no, that sounds sensible to me. i'll do some digging and get a better understanding | 14:24 |
| didrocks | robtaylor: plugins/gnomecompat/src/gnomecompat.cpp in the main compiz trunk :) | 14:24 |
| robtaylor | didrocks: great. i guess all this work should be done on git master? | 14:25 |
| robtaylor | didrocks: also how are we handling the compiz releases/packaging at the moment? | 14:25 |
| didrocks | robtaylor: I'm handling the packaging of it, all should be done in trunk | 14:26 |

| jaytaoko | robtaylor: hello | 14:54 |
| jaytaoko | robtaylor: what are the issues? | 14:54 |
| robtaylor | jaytaoko: so, normal boot, compiz is reported to have crashed. starting compiz manually then works, but there's a strange long wait between initialising composite options and initialising opengl options | 14:56 |
| robtaylor | not really started digging deeper yet | 14:56 |
| jaytaoko | robtaylor: are you using the open source radeon driver? | 14:57 |
| mterry | klattimer, chrisccoulson: https://code.launchpad.net/~mterry/dbusmenu/opened-closed/+merge/53616 just got merged, adding a closed event for menus | 14:57 |
| mterry | (and opened event) | 14:57 |
| robtaylor | jaytaoko: yes | 14:57 |
| robtaylor | jaytaoko: ah, i think the wait might just be it needing the graphical vt to be active | 14:58 |
| jaytaoko | robtaylor: the crash happens immediately when you log in? do you get to see Unity for a few seconds before it disappear? | 14:58 |
| robtaylor | jaytaoko: long wait, no sign of unity, then crash reported, but apport won't give me a backtrace for some reason | 14:59 |
| jaytaoko | robtaylor: so if you can start Unity manually, that means your hardware is good. That still leaves a problem at log time. A backtrace would be appreciated if you can get it... | 15:01 |
| robtaylor | jaytaoko: i'll see what i can do! | 15:02 |
| jaytaoko | robtaylor: is that a new behaviour ? or has it been like that for some times? | 15:02 |
| robtaylor | jaytaoko: first time the box has had natty on, so couldn't say | 15:04 |

| chrisccoulson | mterry - thanks. what's the difference between the new opened signal and the existing about-to-show (which is what I already use in firefox)? | 15:36 |
| seb128 | klattimer, the day translation, events time format, color, invalid valgrind errors, etc are fixed it seems | 15:37 |
| jaytaoko | robtaylor: in that case, the issue could be elsewhere... if you ever manage to get the stack trace of the crash, please, let me know | 15:38 |

| tedg | chrisccoulson, It's more of a lifecycle thing. "About to show" the menu appears "opened" the menu closes "closed" -- if you don't want to block the menu being shown you should probably use "opened" rather than "about-to-show". | 15:46 |

| artfwo | DBO, could you look at my fix attempt for bug 728598, which we spoke about a week ago? :) | 16:33 |
| ubot5 | Launchpad bug 728598 in unity (Ubuntu) "Dragging a file to the bottom left corner should send it to the trash" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/728598 | 16:33 |
| DBO | artfwo, yeah | 16:33 |
| DBO | looking at it now | 16:33 |
| DBO | artfwo, the reason its not hiding is because you are eliminating the entire left edge | 16:35 |
| artfwo | DBO, it's hiding in fact | 16:35 |
| DBO | oh wiat yeah, misread | 16:35 |
| DBO | artfwo, is it working for you? | 16:36 |
| artfwo | DBO, the bottom edge works after increasing HitArea of the trash | 16:36 |
| DBO | artfwo, my only gripe here is that the hit area is 4 taller, but 2 taller on top, 2 on bottom | 16:37 |
| DBO | when it should only be 2 on bottom | 16:37 |
| DBO | however that will require more careful transforming | 16:37 |
| artfwo | DBO, later you mentioned that <DBO>artfwo, Launcher::MouseOverBottomScrollExtrema () and Launcher::MouseOverBottomScrollArea () would need to be adjusted to return false when at the bottom left corner | 16:37 |
| artfwo | so I did, but the Launcher still hides when the mouse touches left edge of the screen | 16:38 |
| DBO | oh oh! | 16:38 |
| DBO | one second | 16:38 |
| DBO | so we disabled the scrolling... | 16:38 |
| DBO | artfwo, search for _drag_edge_touching | 16:40 |
| DBO | in Launcher.cpp | 16:40 |
| DBO | basically you need to adjust that so the bottom left corner is considered "not touching" | 16:41 |
| artfwo | DBO, in ProcessDndMove(), right? | 16:41 |
| DBO | artfwo, yes | 16:41 |
| artfwo | that's what I initially did, but you rejected my diff :) | 16:43 |

| ubot5 | Bug 724856 on http://launchpad.net/bugs/724856 is private | 16:50 |
| seb128 | klattimer, just go in evolution, add a gcalendar klattimer@gmail.com (doesn't need to be a valid account name) and try restarting the indicator | 16:51 |
| klattimer | seb128: I'll test it that way then | 16:52 |
| seb128 | klattimer, it's still happening with trunk from some hours ago with lp:~karl-qdh/indicator-datetime/calendarmenuitemsignals | 16:52 |
| klattimer | seb128: are you able to reproduce it now? | 16:52 |
| klattimer | ah, right ok | 16:52 |
| seb128 | klattimer, yes, with trunk and lp:~karl-qdh/indicator-datetime/calendarmenuitemsignals applied | 16:52 |
| klattimer | I'll take a closer look at it then | 16:52 |
| seb128 | klattimer, it's obvious from the stacktrace that something in e-d-s try to display a dialog asking your password for the calendar | 16:52 |
| klattimer | I'll assume there's something buggy in the auth func :/ | 16:52 |
| klattimer | yeah, that's what should happen | 16:53 |
| seb128 | "Integer divide by zero at address 0x66373BC7" | 16:53 |
| seb128 | says valgrind | 16:53 |
| klattimer | hmm | 16:53 |
| klattimer | do you have a backtrace of that you can add to the bug? | 16:54 |

| seb128 | klattimer, what is wrong with the one in comment #6? | 16:56 |
| seb128 | klattimer, it seems pretty easy to trigger, can you try with the steps I gave you? | 16:56 |
| klattimer | I missed that one sorry | 16:56 |
| klattimer | yeah I'll give it a go | 16:56 |
| seb128 | klattimer, let me know how it goes and if you need extra debug infos, I'm happy to give some | 16:57 |
| seb128 | klattimer, nice work on the other bugs otherwise ;-) | 16:57 |
| seb128 | it works fine if you don't need to auth into a calendar ;-) | 16:57 |
| klattimer | :) | 17:01 |
| artfwo | DBO, I have a working fix now, but only for the bottom left pixel. I'd like to adjust the "not touching" check for a larger area. does it make sense? | 17:03 |
| DBO | to me? no | 17:03 |
| DBO | i'd rather the "not touching" area not even include the bottom left pixel | 17:04 |
| artfwo | right now, if I drag a file around the bottom of the screen to the bottom left pixel, Launcher stays in place and the trash is highlighted. | 17:06 |
| artfwo | but if I drag a file around the left edge of the screen, the launcher hides when I reach the bottom left pixel | 17:07 |
| jono | m_conley, hey | 17:08 |
| jono | how stable would you say the U1 Contact Sync add-in is? | 17:08 |
| jono | stable enough to try it? | 17:08 |

| artfwo | DBO, could you look at https://code.launchpad.net/~artfwo/unity/fix-for-728598/+merge/52523 again? :) | 17:14 |
| DBO | yeah, hold on :) | 17:14 |
| m_conley | jono: hey - which add-on are you talking about? | 17:29 |
| m_conley | jono: the one I'm building? | 17:29 |
| m_conley | jono: because if that's the one you're talking about, I'm sorry to say it's not even close to being functional yet. | 17:30 |
| jono | m_conley, yeah, the Ubuntu One Contact sync | 17:30 |
| m_conley | jono: i'm still in research mode | 17:30 |
| jono | no worries :-) | 17:30 |
| jono | I am delighted that you are working on this | 17:30 |
| jono | anyone want to help with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnityFeatureWalkthrough ? | 17:38 |
| zniavre_ | good evening | 17:45 |
| zniavre_ | i tried the unity support test and i get this > http://paste.ubuntu-fr-secours.org/src-98807 | 17:46 |
| zniavre_ | why if the test is positive unity does not start ? | 17:46 |

| didrocks | zniavre: still there? | 19:26 |
| zniavre | didrocks, yes i am | 19:30 |
| zniavre | good evening | 19:30 |
| didrocks | zniavre: bonsoir ;) | 19:30 |
| didrocks | zniavre: so my bet is that compiz is crashing | 19:30 |
| zniavre | what can i do ?please | 19:31 |
| didrocks | zniavre: would be better to ensure: so, can you try ls -l /var/crash/*compiz* | 19:31 |
| didrocks | zniavre: ensure that the timestamp of the file is quite recent (corresponding to a crash) | 19:31 |
| zniavre | not really | 19:32 |
| zniavre | i tried few mniutes ago and it does not appears | 19:32 |
| didrocks | zniavre: not recent you mean? | 19:32 |
| didrocks | (the file) | 19:33 |
| zniavre | yes no recent | 19:33 |
| didrocks | zniavre: so, apport is only keeping the first one | 19:33 |
| zniavre | the most recent is from yesterday night | 19:33 |
| didrocks | zniavre: what you can do is: | 19:33 |
| didrocks | sudo rm /var/crash/*compiz* | 19:33 |
| didrocks | restart your session so that you can make it crashes | 19:33 |
| didrocks | checking the file is there with ls -l /var/crash/*compiz* | 19:33 |
| zniavre | ok bbs | 19:34 |
| didrocks | then, report it with apport-bug -c /var/crash/*compiz* | 19:34 |
| zniavre | ok | 19:34 |
| didrocks | zniavre: that will be sweet if you wait for 3 hours (so maybe trying tomorrow?) | 19:34 |
| didrocks | zniavre: because there is a new compiz version (no bug fix), coming | 19:34 |
| zniavre | ok i will wait | 19:34 |
| didrocks | and you might trigger the "not latest update is installed" | 19:34 |
| didrocks | zniavre: but updating tomorrow and filing the bug is definitively the way to do :) | 19:35 |
| didrocks | just ensure that you have a corresponding /var/crash/*compiz* file :) | 19:35 |
| zniavre | ok | 19:35 |
| didrocks | thanks a lot | 19:35 |
| njpatel_ | mterry, ping, how's the Alt = show-me signal stuff going? | 19:36 |
| mterry | njpatel_, I told you, it should be ready for use | 19:36 |
| mterry | njpatel_, if unity isn't seeing the signals, let me know, but it should be coming up through indicator-appmenu now | 19:36 |
| njpatel_ | oh | 19:37 |
| njpatel_ | nice | 19:37 |
| njpatel_ | thanks | 19:37 |
| * njpatel_ wonders what he did with that piece of info | 19:37 | |
| njpatel_ | mterry, and Alt+$foo? | 19:37 |
| njpatel_ | how's that going? | 19:37 |
| didrocks | oh, alt showing the menu is coming soon, sweet! | 19:37 |
| mterry | njpatel_, there was confusion aboiut alt+?, so maybe you thought both were undone | 19:37 |
| njpatel_ | yeah, that sounds lik me | 19:37 |
| njpatel_ | like* | 19:37 |
| mterry | njpatel_, alt+? is also fixed last week, it was a simple change in appmenu-gtk | 19:37 |
| mterry | that feature got lost in the dbusmenu parser shuffle. so I just had to re-enable it | 19:38 |
| njpatel_ | mterry, oh wow | 19:39 |
| njpatel_ | mterry, It seems like I just spent last week confused over the state of appmenu :) | 19:39 |
| kklimonda | will spread in unity-2d even support moving applications by dragging them between workspaces? | 19:39 |
| njpatel_ | mterry, thanks for clearing it up, i'll add support into unity today | 19:40 |
| mterry | njpatel_, appmenu will do that to you | 19:40 |
| njpatel_ | hah | 19:40 |
| njpatel_ | jjardon, hey, regarding the scrollbars not working with chromium/banshee etc, I was wondering if it had something to do with modal dialogs and/or gtk_dialog_run | 19:41 |
| njpatel_ | I asked Cimi to make a test case for that | 19:41 |
| Cimi | jjardon: you had the testcase | 19:41 |
| jjardon | njpatel_: I'm looking on that now, thanks Cimi! | 19:43 |
| Cimi | jjardon: reproduced? | 19:43 |
| njpatel_ | jjardon, awesome | 19:43 |
| Cimi | njpatel_: also, remember that the thumb is a gtkwindow | 19:45 |
| Cimi | I don't know, maybe it could conflict with the dialog | 19:45 |
| njpatel_ | right | 19:45 |
| Cimi | njpatel_: yet another gtkwindow, infact | 19:45 |
| njpatel_ | I think it's something to do with how it works internally in gtk | 19:45 |
| njpatel_ | (wrt modal dialogs) | 19:45 |
| jjardon | Cimi: yep | 19:45 |
| Cimi | njpatel_: are we fucked? :D | 19:46 |
| njpatel_ | There must be a way around it | 19:46 |
| jjardon | yeah, gedit doesnt use gtk_dialog_run for the plugin dialog | 19:51 |
| === magcius is now known as _magcius | ||
| njpatel_ | but it is modal, so it must be doing gtk_grab_add or something | 19:53 |
| njpatel_ | to prevent other windows from getting events | 19:53 |
| Cimi | njpatel_: let me connect to grab-notify | 19:54 |
| Cimi | njpatel_: jjardon: gtk_dialog_run's source code http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/581273/ | 19:56 |
| njpatel_ | I can't sorry | 19:56 |
| * njpatel_ is already way behind his own stuff | 19:57 | |
| Cimi | jjardon: ideas? I guess the main loop thing is breaking stuff | 19:59 |
| === _magcius is now known as magcius | ||
| coz_ | hey all | 20:02 |
| robtaylor | smspillazzzz: do you have any tricks for cutting down compile times? I've been standing on a chair waving a sword around allll evening ;) | 20:22 |
| jjardon | Cimi: lets play with gtk_grab_get_current () and gtk_grab_remove/add() | 20:22 |
| Cimi | jjardon: sure? | 20:22 |
| Cimi | jjardon: isn0't it related to g_main_loop_new in gtk_dialog_run? | 20:22 |
| robtaylor | Cimi: unlikely | 20:23 |
| Cimi | robtaylor: unlicely what? | 20:23 |
| jjardon | Cimi: the thumb is another GtkWindow, rigth? | 20:23 |
| Cimi | jjardon: yes | 20:24 |
| robtaylor | Cimi: unlikely to be related to a recursed mainloop, i think. not that i've been paying a huge amount of attention =) | 20:24 |
| jjardon | so if the dialog is modal, maybe that is the root cause, you can't interact with other GtkWindows | 20:25 |
| Cimi | jjardon: so gedit is | 20:25 |
| Cimi | save/open dialog | 20:25 |
| Cimi | jjardon: no | 20:25 |
| Cimi | jjardon: you're right | 20:26 |
| Cimi | jjardon: it's the modal thing | 20:26 |
| Cimi | jjardon: gedit's save dialog | 20:26 |
| Cimi | jjardon: it's modal | 20:26 |
| jjardon | Cimi: we are getting closer ;) | 20:26 |
| Cimi | jjardon: any way to special case it? | 20:27 |
| Cimi | jjardon: makes sense anyway | 20:27 |
| Cimi | jjardon: modal blocks it | 20:27 |
| robtaylor | smspillazzzz: hah! fixed it :) will bundle up patches in the morn, got to catch a train now. you can check it out at https://github.com/robtaylor/compiz | 20:30 |
| jjardon | Cimi: I think I found a solution playing with gtk_grab_remove/add() | 20:45 |
| jjardon | will send a patch after dinner ;) | 20:45 |
| Cimi | jjardon: I am speaking with Jason Smith about that | 20:45 |
| jjardon | my solution works in the brasero case, but I'd like to clean the things a bit | 20:47 |
| jjardon | Cimi: Does Jason have another idea? | 20:47 |
| Cimi | jjardon: either grab the events from the main grabbing window | 20:48 |
| Cimi | otherwise... we are quite fucked | 20:48 |
| Cimi | jjardon: what are you doing? | 20:50 |
| Cimi | jjardon: does it work with gedit's save dialog and chromium? | 20:51 |
| jjardon | Cimi: gedit save dialog:yes. I guess yhe same for chromium | 20:52 |
| Cimi | jjardon: show me the code! :) | 20:52 |
| Cimi | jjardon: I'm so curious | 20:52 |
| Cimi | :D | 20:52 |
| Cimi | well done anyway | 20:52 |
| Cimi | jjardon: when is your dinner? 2am? LOL | 20:52 |
| jjardon | the idea is to use gtk_grab_add() in the thumb notify event, so the thumb can get events | 20:53 |
| jjardon | and the call gtk_grab_remove() when we leave the widget | 20:54 |
| jjardon | It still doesnt work perfect, but Its a first step | 20:54 |
| jjardon | Cimi: family dinner, so maybe I'll send the patch a bit late today ;) | 20:55 |
| Cimi | jjardon: ehehe go ahead, will talk later maybe | 20:55 |
| Cimi | jjardon: maybe enter notify | 20:56 |
| Cimi | instead motion | 20:56 |
| LLStarks | kenvandine, i'm seeing huge fitt's law problems with the prototype scrollbars. the scrollbar appears to the left of the orange stripe, but i still have to move my mouse right more than a trivial amount of pixels to actually move it. | 21:36 |
| LLStarks | btw, is unity 3.6.6 still happening today? | 21:41 |
| Cimi | LLStarks: right of the orange stripe | 21:45 |
| Cimi | LLStarks: left id maximized | 21:45 |
| LLStarks | yeah. | 21:45 |
