RAOFrobert_ancell: Yo yo!  I know you've got a r600+ radeon card - have you noticed rendering problems in unity recently - the title bar being mostly-invisible, only the shadows of notify-osd showing?02:14
robert_ancellRAOF, sure have02:15
RAOFAny idea when they started?02:15
robert_ancella week or two ago?02:16
RAOFHah.  And it's unity only, right?02:17
robert_ancellI haven't tried anything else, but my guess would be yes02:18
* RAOF has just tried classic + compiz, and that works.02:18
RAOFRight.  So, there's a problem.02:18
robert_ancellthe window title one is the particular one I've noticed, occurs when opening new windows, clicking the top of the screen seems to redraw it right02:18
TheMusoYay! Multi-arch breaks unity builds, due to a dbus header file being in a different place. :)02:25
RAOFTheMuso: I think that's fixed with the most recent dbus upload?02:29
TheMusoRAOF: Will check, but I updated this morning...02:29
RAOFIt was post-this-morning.02:29
TheMusoOk hasn't come through yet.02:30
* TheMuso updates his local mirror...02:30
TheMusoAnyway, have symlinked the file for now, so things work again.02:31
RAOFOk.  Unity's doing something screwy with transparency it seems.02:33
RAOFUrgh.  What's annoyingly worse is that mesa master explodes into a thousand shards.02:35
TheMusoheh02:49

IanLiuI have fixed a bitesize bug, but I'm having troubles pushing it. I'm following the instructions from http://unity.ubuntu.com/getinvolved/#coding . Any tips?03:04

IanLiuThe "Getting Involved" also mentions to "Propose a Merge". I've found the Merge proposal form, but I'm having some doubts on how to use it. Is the "Target branch" my new branch?03:24
RAOFHAH!03:25
RAOFrobert_ancell: Would you be a dear and go to compizconfig settings manager→Blur Windows and disable “alpha blur”?  I suspect that will resolve the graphical glitches.03:26
RAOFrobert_ancell: No rush, just when there's an appropriate context switch.03:27
robert_ancellRAOF, hmm, blur windows appeared to be disabled03:27
RAOFOh.03:27
RAOFI wonder why it is enabled here.  Have I enabled it locally, I wonder?03:28
RAOFWell, that's annoying.  ‘unity --reset’ doesn't re-enable blur.03:34
micahgrobert_ancell: are you planning to arrange a release exception for webkit 1.4.0?03:37
robert_ancellmicahg, is it released yet?03:38
micahgrobert_ancell: no, but I'm told it03:38
micahgs coming with GNOME 303:38
robert_ancellYes, as soon as it's released will do the paperwork03:39
* micahg wanted to make sure it's on the release team's radar since it'll be a very last minute update03:39
micahgwhich reminds me, I need to get a microrelease exception for webkit, but I'll do that later03:41
micahgrobert_ancell: thanks03:41
robert_ancellmicahg, np, it will be nice when we have the release..03:41
micahgrobert_ancell: indeed, unfortunately, kov couldn't commit to no ABI/API breaks, but said there were none planned03:42
micahgat least webkit looks like it's taken care of, now I need to worry about getting xul-1.9.2 dropped :-/03:43
LLStarksraof, is blur default now?04:52
RAOFLLStarks: No, it isn't.04:53
LLStarksthe blur appears quite spotty under the expo05:01
chrisccoulsonwow, am i the first one awake in europe for a change?06:57
chrisccoulsongood morning everyone06:57
TheMusochrisccoulson: Seems so.07:02
pittiGood morning07:08
pittibryceh: I think we should use the last "path: error: .*" line of DKMSBuildLog.txt for this?07:10
* pitti sighs -- unity hasn't crashed for two weeks, and with the last update it all went horribly unstable again :/07:11
TheMusopitti: Yeah, trying to test some merged in branches with nux/unity today and have had a horror of a time.07:11
* TheMuso realized that he didn't try unity trunk...07:15
* TheMuso goes and builds.07:15
chrisccoulsongood morning pitti07:18
pittihey chrisccoulson07:19
pittihow are you?07:19
chrisccoulsonpitti - i'm good thanks, although a little tired. how are you?07:19
pittiI'm fine, we had a nice weekend07:20
pittichrisccoulson: woke up too early again?07:22
chrisccoulsonpitti - yeah, my daugher woke several times during the night, and i thought that would mean she would sleep in ;)07:23
chrisccoulsonbut she woke up at the usual time07:23
TheMusoWell well well, with a branch of some a11y signal fixes for nux, we finally have a somewhat accessible launcher. :)07:41
TheMusoNo quicklists yet, but I can navigate the launcher with orca and hear the application names, and launch them. :)07:41
RAOFSounds like an important milestone!  Rockin!07:42
TheMusoYeah, it certainly is. I am now going to take some time tomorrow to move my primary work environment to unity.07:43
TheMusoI'll just put all the most commonly used aps on the launcher, and launch everything else from a nautilus window/a terminal for now.07:43
RAOFalt-f2 isn't a11ied?07:45
TheMusoNo, and the dash isn't yet either, tahts more work.07:46
TheMusoNext cycle I'd say.07:46
RAOFEep.07:46
pittiTheMuso: nice to hear about the progress there! do you think this should change the current plan of defaulting to 2d if a11y is enabled?07:46
pittiah, ok07:46
pittiso seems not07:46
RAOFIncidentally, how's gnome-do on the a11y front, and how can I test it?07:46
TheMusopitti: No, unless you are willing to put up with the missing bits, productivity would be severely crippled for anyone not willing to work around things.07:46
TheMusoRAOF: Don't know, never tried it.07:47
pittiTheMuso: right07:47
TheMusoSo yeah, default to GNOME for some a11y profiles.07:47
RAOFIt's made of custom GTK stuff, so I'm not sure whether it's inherited the default GTK a11y.07:47
TheMusoRAOF: The easiest way to see if its likely to be accessible is to run accerciser, and look at the application accessibility hierarchy.07:47
* RAOF adds that to his todo.07:48
didrocksgood morning07:51
RAOFOMG it's didrocks!07:51
didrocksRAOF: run run ;)07:52
pittibonjour didrocks, ca va? had a nice long weekend?07:52
didrockspitti: Guten Morgen pitti. yeah, I'm fine, the week-end was nice (even if not enough snow to ski). You?07:53
TheMusopitti: And, I think I might want to switch back to the standard gtk window decorator for accessibility profiles as well, because the unity window decorator window switcher is not accessible, even though it is derived from the gtk window decorator codebase...07:53
TheMusoUnless bug 724093 gets fixed soon.07:55

chrisccoulsonit does for me too07:59
chrisccoulsonit keeps locking up whilst i'm not at my machine07:59
chrisccoulsoni was going to blame RAOF because i thought X was locking up, but it's actually compiz ;)07:59
RAOFI'll let you in on a secret: it's entirely possible that's the fault of the X stack ;)08:00
chrisccoulsonlol08:00
chrisccoulsonRAOF, it does start working again if I kill -9 compiz and start metacity08:01
RAOFAh.08:01
chrisccoulsonbut often, restarting compiz will just make it crash until i reboot08:01
RAOFThen I don't think that's the X stack's fault.08:01
RAOFThe typical “X causes compiz to lockup” would be a pageflipping snafu where compiz is sitting around in D state waiting for the swap to complete.08:02

seb128pitti, if you have some time and want to review https://code.launchpad.net/~vorlon/glib/multiarch/+merge/54143 that would be appreciated11:37
seb128well extra eyes on that are welcome11:38
pittiseb128: I don't know much about it either, I guess we should just build and test it locally?11:38
seb128pitti, don't bother much that was in case you had some opinions or comment about it11:39
pittiseb128: I looked at it, but nothing that jumps out on me11:40
seb128ok, same here11:40
pittiquite ugly, though11:40
seb128I guess slangasek tested it and it doesn't break glib11:40
pitti(this cries for more abstraction/automation)11:40
seb128so let's go for it and see if things break11:41
pittiseb128: gio modules are mainly gvfs, I take it? I. e. URLs like gphoto:// or ssh:// ?11:41
seb128gvfs uri handling for gio yes and dconf11:42
seb128those are the obvious ones11:42
pittiseb128: want me to test it with gphoto? or are you already?11:42
seb128unity has some magic has well for application running and matching but I'm not sure how to test those, they improve reliability for some cases that's not technically required11:43
seb128pitti, if you want to do it feel free11:43
pittiI guess that requires changes to gvfs as well, then, as it ships /usr/lib/gio bits/11:43
pitti?11:43
seb128I'm about to go for lunch, I will build glib and test when I'm back11:43
pittiseb128: can do in a bit (still busy with something)11:43
pittiseb128: ok, sounds good; will build it in the background11:43
seb128pitti, right, it seems we will need patches for everything installing a .so in that dir11:44
seb128pitti, well slangasek added a fallback to read the old dir so technical that will not break11:45
seb128but still11:45
pittiseb128: ah, his latest changelog says "include /usr/lib/gio/modules as a fallback directory for compatibility"11:45
pittiright11:45
seb128do you know when that will land in Debian? seems that will add some extra delta otherwise11:45
pittiso, testing then11:45
pittiI don't11:46
pittiI think we are trailblazing here11:46
seb128ok, I will chat with steve when he's online11:46
pittibut the dpkg/apt/debhelper stuff is all in (or at least in git)11:46
pittiit hasn't been officially announced in Debian yet11:46

rickspencer3chrisccoulson, i38614:14
chrisccoulsonrickspencer3, it doesn't give you the option of submitting a crash report does it?14:15
rickspencer3chrisccoulson, no14:15
chrisccoulsonin any case, when i saw flash crashing, the backtrace was just full of flash :(14:15
chrisccoulsonwhich means it needs to go to adobe really ;)14:15
rickspencer3yeah, I figured it was all in upstream binary goo14:15
chrisccoulsonthere's not much we can do about crashes in the flash plugin, other than hope they fix it (or point to a problem in firefox)14:16
kamstrupseb128, didrocks: if you're talking zeitgeist 0.7.1 then I think that's a pretty safe bet. There are only slight tweaks in the Python client API (which we don't use) and then a very slight sql tweak to make it forward compatible with the upcoming 0.8 (which we'll prolly have for Oneiric, so forward compat is nice)14:16
seb128kamstrup, ok thanks14:16
chrisccoulsonrickspencer3, i need to figure out why crash reporting is broken though. i guess it's the same bug that breaks it in chromium too14:16
rickspencer3chrisccoulson, ok, I was checking to see if I was the only one14:17
chrisccoulsonrickspencer3, no, we seem to get quite a lot of reports recently14:17
rickspencer3ok14:17
chrisccoulsonrickspencer3, it might be worth attaching gdb to the plugin-container process before it crashes though, just to make sure it is in the flash plugin14:17

pittididrocks: you actually told me it's not necessary any more, but the bug is still open, so that's what I wanted to discuss with you now :)15:06
didrockspitti: if we keep the checks in compiz and in the helper tool in sync15:06
didrockswhich is the case right now :)15:06
didrockshope that we can keep it like that15:06
pittididrocks: so is it totally obsolete, or we can work around it, or would it still be useful then?15:06
pittiIOW, should we just close the bug, or would having it be an enhancement?15:07
didrockspitti: I *think* we should close it and avoid adding a big regression right now. Then, testing to ensure that we don't drop the user on some corner cases in a "no panel" session is needed15:09
didrocks(which means, compositor, but no panel)15:09
didrocksthat can be ensure by keeping the testing tool opengl tests in unity_support_tool and the test from the start in the unity plugin initialization in sync15:09
pittididrocks: i. e. with the dbus property we wouldn't need to duplicate the code and run the tests twice?15:10
didrockspitti: the tests will be run twice anyway, as it seems some people try to run unity even if it's not supported (with the "unity") command15:11
didrockspitti: so, a test rather than a crash is in order at unity startup :)15:11

didrockspitti: and the array is initialized once opengl is initialized15:13
pittitedg: looking15:13
tedgpitti, seb128, Some helpful discussion on them: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/devkit-devel/2011-March/date.html15:13
Amaranthdidrocks: what tests are you doing?15:13
didrocksAmaranth: look at unity_support_tool15:13
Amaranthdidrocks: initializing GL and checking for supported extensions isn't all that cheap15:13
pittitedg: ah, "Adding an argument to Sleeping signal"?15:13
Amaranthdidrocks: Oh, that doesn't segfault anymore? :)15:13
=== warp11 is now known as warp10
tedgpitti, Yup15:14
Amaranthdidrocks: I don't seem to have a unity_support_tool anymore, didn't nux ship that?15:15
pittitedg: will have a look and discuss with hughsie; as this changes the d-bus API, I won't apply it in Debian/Ubuntu only15:15
tedgpitti, Okay, it seems like he approves on the mailing list.15:15
tedgpitti, But good to double check.15:15
tedgI think that it's solving it in the right way.15:15
tedgThough, it seems that gss should listen for the signal not gpm.  But, that's a minor optimization :-)15:16
didrocksAmaranth: /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test15:16
didrocksAmaranth: talk to jay, he told that checking the extensions wasn't more expensive once opengl is activated. I think he knows a little on opengl so that I can trust him15:16
seb128tedg, seems a pitti thing, I will let him handle it15:17
Amaranthdidrocks: Oh, sure, checking extensions is free once opengl is initialized15:18
Amaranthhrm, I seem to be stuck in a situation that makes compiz crash without triggering an apport dialog15:19
Amaranthweird, and it just stopped doing that15:20
seb128rodrigo_, hey15:25
rodrigo_hey seb128! :)15:25
seb128rodrigo_, so one frequent issue users get in nautilus is that they right click on a directory, do open with and pick an application and associate the folder mimetype with the software they used15:25
seb128rodrigo_, we used the patch from https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=637264 to make less easy to run into the issue15:26
ubot2Gnome bug 637264 in File and Folder Operations "The 'Remember this application for ..." option changes the default for both files and folders" [Normal,Resolved: obsolete]15:26
* rodrigo_ looks15:26
seb128rodrigo_, that's sort of a workaround though (just toggle the default value), the issue is fixed in GNOME3 as well, cosimoc said he would welcome a 2.32 patch that hides the checkbox for directories though15:27
seb128rodrigo_, do you think you could work on that?15:27

rodrigo_jcastro, good question :)15:31
jcastroaha, I knew I would stump someone15:31
seb128jcastro, they should not be filed ;-)15:32
davmor2jcastro: bugzilla gnome of course :D15:32
seb128jcastro, there is no ppa bug tracker15:32
rodrigo_so far, people have been sending mail to me directly15:32
jcastroright15:32
seb128jcastro, code issues should be filed upstream , packaging ones mentioned here15:32
jcastroand the mailing list looks like lp build announcements15:32
jcastromaybe just using the mailing list? I mean, it's there already15:32
jcastroseb128: also, is there a way out for people if they decide to not use it15:33
mterryjcastro, ppa-purge?15:33
jcastrobecause from looking at the packages, if I use natty, and I want to try gnome3, and it upgrades a ton of stuff15:33
seb128jcastro, what mailing list?15:34
jcastromterry: ok, I can add that to the instructions15:34

seb128we can check the list every now and then15:34
seb128jcastro, downgrade ... I wouldn't recommend it15:34
mterryI'm subsucribed15:35
jcastromterry: I want to avoid "I tried this PPA and now my gnome is totally hosed wether it's 2.x or 3.x!"15:35
seb128like GNOME3 will migrate your users datas to gsettings etc15:35
mterryseb128, but it won't delete old stuff15:35
seb128there is no easy roll back15:35
jcastroright, so really, this isn't "try gnome3!" this is a bit of a commitment?15:35
seb128no, you will just go back to the settings you had before upgrading15:35
jcastrook15:35
seb128downgrade are not handled packaging wise either15:35
seb128it's likely that ppa-purge will fail on conflicts etc15:35

pittigood night everyone! have to leave a bit early today16:27
desrtpitti: cheerio16:28
desrtseb128: i have a new respect16:29
desrtseb128: it turns out i have fat fingers for packaging16:29
seb128hey desrt, new respect for who? ;-)16:29
desrtseb128: for you :)16:29
seb128lol16:29
* desrt tried to repackage gnome-screensaver and failed spectacularly16:30
desrtthe ..90->..91 transition is brutal16:30
desrtlots of vendor patches no longer applying, packaging broke in various other ways16:30
desrti wanted to kill bzr by the end of it :)16:30
desrtyou should produce (and blog?) a 'packaging for ubuntu with bzr' cheetsheet... after some googling i wasn't able to find one16:31
desrtbasically the tips you gave me on IRC the other day, but expanded a bit16:31
desrtfor example, i wasn't ever able to rediscover that command you told me that looked at the apt database to determine the bzr repository that the packaging for a specific source package was kept in and check it out with an appropriate name16:32
seb128desrt, debcheckout?16:32
desrtya.  that one.16:32
desrtall of the tutorials i found skipped it16:32
desrtin any case, it seems like there are a lot of tricks that you know that are not easy to discover16:33
desrti had another question too: i was working in my checked out repository16:35
seb128well the desktop team workflow is mainly on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Bzr16:35
desrtand i removed a vendor patch because it was no longer required16:35
desrtthen i did a bzr bd16:35
desrtbut it complained that files were missing16:35
seb128but yeah we should really try to converge with standard ubuntu practices and have things documented16:35
desrtit seemed like the only way to fix that was to commit the file removal16:35
desrtwhich i didn't want to do because i was still working16:35
seb128how did you delete it?16:36
desrtrm16:36
seb128yeah, don't do that16:36
desrtya.  i learnt my lesson :)16:36
desrtbzr is not very forgiving in this case16:36
seb128usually modern packages use quilt and you just have to comment it in the series16:36
desrtya...16:36
desrtthat's another thing16:36
desrti need to learn to use quilt16:36
seb128otherwise bzr del it and bzr revert before commiting ;-)16:36
desrti had to update some vendor patches by hand... NOT FUN16:36
seb128you know about edit-patch?16:37
desrtnope.16:37
seb128it's from mvo16:37
desrti'll go learn about it now :)16:37
seb128it's an "give me a shell where I can edit my patch and update the diff with what I do there when I exit 0"16:37
seb128which abstract the patch system16:37
seb128like it can be cdbs-simple-patchsys or quilt16:37
seb128it will wrap the commands for you16:37
desrtsee?  neither edit-patch or debcheckout are mentioned in this wiki page you just gave me :)16:37
seb128just give you the shell to work16:37
seb128yeah, we need to update that documentation ;-)16:38
desrtahh16:38
desrtthis is like that other command you told me16:38
desrtto extract the tarball and toss the debian/ directory in and throw me into it16:38
seb128bzr bd-do ?16:38
desrtyup16:38
seb128right16:38
desrtsimilar idea, i guess16:38
seb128you usually want to do bzr do-do to get in the unpacked source16:38
seb128then edit-patch <somepatch>16:39
seb128then exit 0 twice16:39
desrti guess i can recursively use edit-patch from there16:39
desrtyup16:39
desrtwell, i guess you might need to do several edit-patch16:39
seb128right16:39
seb128well I tend to exit 0 and call up bzr bd-do again16:39
desrtdoes that record a commit when you're done?16:39
seb128just to make sure I don't exit != 0 by error and trash my work16:39
desrtor just leave the changes in-tree?16:39
seb128that just let the changes in the checkout without commiting16:40
seb128well I tend to ctrl-D16:40
desrtdoesn't the shell always exit 0 by default?16:40
desrtor does it use the exit status of the previous command?16:40
seb128and if the previous command didn't return 0 and you ctrl-D you migh just drop your changes :p16:40
desrtgotcha16:40
seb128it uses the exit status of the previous command16:40
desrtthat's ... annoying16:40
seb128well in fact the unpacked dir is still in ../build-area16:40
seb128so you can go back there and restore things16:41
desrtincluding the modified debian/16:41
seb128if you don't run bzr bd-do again which wipes it with a fresh unpack16:41
desrtyou guys need to switch to rpm :)16:41
desrt((never thought i'd say that))16:41
seb128well that has nothing to do with the packaging format ;-)16:41
seb128it's just a vcs workflow16:41
desrtright.  of course.16:41
desrtapt, dpkg, etc are much better16:41
seb128the "real" ubuntu recommended way is full source checkouts16:42
desrtand all the support infra for building deb is awesome16:42
desrtbut..... you guys do it perfectly backwards16:42
desrthave the source package at the toplevel with a debian/ directory16:42
seb128it's just annoying to have to checkout 10 years of history of the full source when you want to update a changelog16:42
desrtrpm does it the other way.... upstream source gets unpacked into a subdir of the package dir16:42
desrtseb128: so upstream source in the same bzr as the packaging, you mean?16:43
seb128yes16:43
seb128bzr get lp:ubuntu/gconf-editor16:43
seb128or whatever source16:43
desrtyes.  i suppose that would be quite annoying.16:43
seb128those are autoimport for most sources16:43
desrtfor people like me who only work with half a dozen packages or so, it's not so bad16:43
seb128but some are manually maintained source16:43
desrtbut for someone who is doing new software every single day... that would get annoying16:43
seb128like it's very handy for things which are upstream on launchpad like dx work16:44
seb128you can bzr get lp:ubuntu/indicator-something16:44
seb128cd indicator-something16:44
desrtoh.  that's something else i wanted to ask about16:44
desrtdo i have to worry about this pristine-tarball business?16:45
seb128bzr merge lp:indicator-something -r 12316:45
seb128and bzr bd16:45
seb128no you don't16:45
desrtdue to the separated nature of the packaging16:45
desrtjust sucks the tarball from the source url...16:45
seb128right16:45
desrti noticed that there is a neat little utility in there that is good at finding random source tarballs :)16:46
seb128bzr bd-do will typically fetch the source from the archive if available or use the watch file16:46
desrti forget what it is called, but it started running when i was having connectivity troubles at one point16:46
